#low carb ish

[hi-its-meg]

Fingers are super crossed that my doctors appointment goes well this week 🤞🏻

Really hoping for an Ozempic/Wegovy prescription (whichever my insurance will approve) and to upgrade to a Freestyle Libre 3 prescription 🤞🏻

I’m truly just so defeated with my health & my body at this point.

#it’s been such a rough year and a half #my body is literally a mess #and if you know me you know I exercise almost daily #and I eat pretty dang well #I just can’t get this under control #I just want to be healthy again #yes I’m low ish carb #yes I focus on protein #yes I walk just about daily #yes I calorie count #I’ve lost a lot of weight before and it was NEVER like this #me #girls with red hair #girls #chest tattoo

Daily Check-in - July 27, 2023 🎀

Today was easier than yesterday, but I am still so sleepy and tired. I have to work a full shift tomorrow AND Saturday on top of my weekend chores so I'm hoping to take Sunday as a full self care day! Fingers crossed!!

🩷 What I Ate Today:

Breakfast - One slice of toast with mashed avocado, paprika, a fried egg, and a side of watermelon, and one cup of coffee.

Lunch - ground beef burrito bowl with black beans, shredded cheese, chopped iceberg lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and a low carb tortilla.

Dinner - One plate of spaghetti with meat marinara sauce, grated parmesean cheese, and two pieces of buttered bread

Other - One cup of coffee with French vanilla creamer

Water ~ 30oz I just forgot to drink water today, but using my water bottle has gotten easier and helped me drink more during the work day.

I didn't feel like snacking much today, and I couldn't finish my lunch, but I am very satisfied with my intake today! I love eating healthier and listening to my body. I do track what I eat, but I make sure it's food I like! Given my past, I can't do restrictions, so I choose to honor my wants in a way that works towards my goals and nourishes both my mind and body.

🩷 Workout - Upper Body Pilates (ish)

This one was really good! It was my first time trying it and it had my arms burning in a good way. I really enjoyed it, and I totally recommend. This is definitely going to be a regular of mine! 10/10

This one has been a favorite for a few years, I absolutely love the way it makes my arms feel. The movements are easy and effective, and leave me sore in a good way. Absolutely my favorite lean arms workout, hands down! 11/10

🩷 Habits I Completed Today:

Made my bed

Morning & Night Skincare

Morning & Night Guided Journal

Read 1 Chapter of a book

Workout

I forgot to do my mediation and stretching, and I didn't meet my hydration goal, but I'm taking every day in stride and doing what my energy allows me to accomplish. I believe in self compassion and flexibility in routine, especially given how my energy fluctuates on a daily basis. However, I am definitely doing the full habits list tomorrow, I'm going to challenge myself to accomplish every daily goal I have for myself!

🩷 Song of The Day: Eleven - IVE

This song makes me feel like a badass princess who deserves only the highest level of princess treatment. It's hard to describe how feminine and girly this song makes me feel, even on my most tomboyish, sweaty work days. An absolute bop!!

🩷 Current Read: Atomic Habits by James Clear

Tomorrow, I can do this. I can meet my goals, all of them. It'll take some effort, but I have faith in myself. Once I get the ball rolling, it's just a matter of forward motion with accomplishing each of my goals. I can't wait!!

I also need to budget for next Saturday, as I'm going shopping for some new clothes before my university opens back up for the fall semester. If I'm gonna feel my best, I'm going to look my best too! I'm really hoping to get a few new dresses, accessories (like hair stuff, pantyhose, jelwery, purses, etc), shoes, and maybe some tops and skirts too depending on what the store has. I love shopping, so I'm super excited!!!

Til tomorrow, my lovelies!! <3

[feelingbloo]

doing this all at once because im fasting and need a distraction... this shit be getting personal lmao

day 1: your stats

currently 82.2lbs as of writing

day 2: how tall are you, do you like your height?

im 4'10, no not really! definitely doesnt help my bmi out at all, lmao. id prefer to be around 5'4.

day 3: a picture of your thinspiration. what features do you like about this person?

most thinspo kinda rolls off my back and doesnt affect me, so i dont really look at it. blessing and a curse.

day 4: your greatest fear about weight loss

i only have one fear, and its my partner. she (not so subtly) compares herself to me and uses me as thinspo, and i know losing weight will only make this problem worse.

day 5: why do you really want to lose weight? are you doing it for you?

im not sure if theres a real reason anymore. everything i can think of is something that occurred after the disordered eating started, so i dont know what truly drives me. id say im doing it for myself because theres nobody else i would do it for.

day 6: do you binge? if so, explain why you think you do

of course, definitely. most times its due to an emotion, i think ive always used food as a comfort in that way.

day 7: do your parents know you are trying to lose weight? do they care?

they dont, i never told them and they havent found out. i assume my mom would care, my father sorta shuts himself off so i dont know if hed be mad about it or what.

day 8: your workout routine

im physically disabled from an unknown myopathy (my body doesnt produce enough muscle) so everything is a workout to me lmao. i generally walk around for 4-ish hours a day, since i cant quite manage anything else.

day 9: did anyone ever make comments about your weight in a negative way?

no, only my eating habits. i was often told that i ate so much i mustve had a tapeworm, and most of what i eat is "junk food" due to sensory issues.

day 10: what was the hardest thing you gave up during this weight loss?

dude, i fucking miss the liquid calories! in past restriction phases i refused to count liquid cals, and i definitely still lost weight, but not as fast as i would have liked. ive started counting them and ughhhhh.

i didnt cut them out completely, so i still have creamer in my coffee and the occasional soda, but i want my milkshake goddamnit 😭

day 11: your favorite thinspo blog and why

same answer as day 3.

day 12: what do you normally eat?

for main meals i usually have tuna on toast, egg salad sandwiches, cream cheese bagels, ham sandwiches/ham bagels, grilled cheeses, basically just carb + animal product. if we order out its either a cheeseburger or fried rice.

for sides/snacks/small meals i like string cheese, pickles, mini candies, lollipops, pepperoni, if theres any sweets in the house i have some of that.

its a wonder that i even lose weight on this lmao. but OMAD and counting cals is what makes it possible.

day 13: are you losing weight in a healthy or unhealthy way?

i dont think ive ever seen someone answer this with the former option. we're all doing this unhealthily on this side of tumblr.

day 14: whats your UGW? when do you expect to reach it?

ooh, tough one. it seems like everyone has a set UGW but i dont. i feel most compelled towards the number 73lbs, which is the bmi of my LW (15.3). i dont think that bmi is low enough for me though, i'll figure out when i get there.

ive gotten close to that weight a couple times, but ultimately something always happens and i emotionally binge or whatever. no clue about timing.

day 15: are you vegan or vegetarian? if so, has this helped you lose weight? if not, would you consider turning vegan or vegetarian?

ive had lengths of time where ive been pescetarian (vegetarian + fish), it never helped me lose weight.

at this time in my life im not able to limit my diet to that degree, but i heavily support the lifestyle for ethical and environmental reasons. if i move out id likely try veganism.

day 16: when did you first decide to lose weight?

i began obsessively weighing myself at 7, and started to learn purging around 9/10. it wasnt ever something i was serious about, but at 12 i discovered the online ana community andddd... it really just brought out that part of me. so id say 12 is where it officially began, but ive had it in me since 7.

day 17: do you have an eating disorder?

never officially diagnosed but i dont think most people here are. yes, anorexia nervosa.

day 18: what food is your weakness?

i dont restrict what type of food i eat, as long as its under my limit. but my real weakness is food other people give me... i cant resist it regardless of the calories and it makes me feel so dumb. they dont even have to be in the room! it could just be takeout, they dont even have to be the one to cook it!

day 19: when is the last time you ate fast food?

i cant even remember, i almost never eat it since i dont like it. the grease and the oils coat my mouth and throat and it feels so disgusting.

taco bell cinnamon twists are bomb though.

day 20: favorite diet?

the special k diet is funny (literally just eat special k) but i always lose a lot of weight when i do cereal-based diets like that.

day 21: what are your clothing sizes?

ehhhh,,, i dont wear fitting clothes and everything is baggy, do usually womens small or sometimes xs.

my measurements are quite small (26bust, 23waist, 28hip IIRC?) so im below a 00 in most charts ive seen. unfortunately thats just my general size due to my height, im not as thin as people imagine from that by any means.

day 22: what was your lowest weight? when and how did you gain?

73lbs at 12, my height didnt change since then lmao. i experienced some trauma right after getting to that weight, which led to me binging myself back up to 90lbs.

day 23: did the media play a role in your wanting to lose weight?

i think it was more personal experiences rather than the media, however the media likely did contribute once i had already established my disordered eating.

day 24: how do you feel about the terms pro-ana/pro-mia

it depends on the context. in the original meaning, it just meant a space where you could discuss your disorder without actively working towards recovery. i support that heavily.

nowadays, where it usually means people promoting ana/mia as some pretty dainty "lifestyle", fucking ew. what is wrong with you people. i understand wanting to romanticize your disorder (and find others who do the same), but i draw the line at genuinely thinking that disordered eating makes you "better" than others, or whatever bullshit they try to say.

day 25: have you ever purged? if so, describe your first experience.

i have purged in the past, but due to my disability (day 8) i typically cant vomit anymore no matter what i try. the muscle just isnt strong enough anymore to contract that violently.

first experience was harrowing lmao, i had had a bowl of instant ramen and was hallucinating as i was purging it. everything else was so distracting, i dont really remember anything about the actual purging itself.

day 26: what excites you most about reaching your UGW?

the first time i got to my LW, i just remember feeling so giddy and proud and i want that again and again.

day 27: how do you deal with being around food?

if i eat it, im not longer around it... i just have zero self control.

day 28: do you want that gap between your legs? why?

i guess so. its something a lot of people are envious of, and i knew i was happy when i had it in the past.

day 29: your definition of beauty.

this is going to sound "wrong" from an anorexic person, but chubby people. i dont have a fetish for it, i have slept with average people without problem, but i dont think i could date someone who wasnt at least bmi 23... ive found that bmi 25-27 is the sweet spot though.

i just think theres something so attractive about it regardless of gender. like hell yeah thick arms and round stomachs and back rolls. fuck yeah.

day 30: 10 facts about you! and now, what are your stats?

oh god what is this, an interrogation? not saying stats since im doing this in one go.

i draw (hobbyist, nowhere near professional)

i collect animal bones and general knick knacks

garfield and miku are my favorite characters

i tap on everything

i wanted to be a veterinarian as a kid

favorite animals are polar bears and hammerheads

my grandmother wanted me to be named tapestry (what??)

i have dyscalculia

i enjoy making cookies

i can barely whistle

My Goals & Plans - Revised

Exercise daily - Do yoga and ballet on mon, wed, fri. Do pilates and run on sun, tues, thurs. Saturday is rest day - deep stretches and long walk. Ride bike or walk to and from errands instead of riding bus.

Stick to a pescatarian diet inspired by model and ballerina wieiad videos. This means fasting 6 pm to 8 am daily, eating 1,000 - 1,400 calories per day, and sticking with healthy whole foods. Half fruit/veg, high protein, low carb.

Stick to plan for three months-ish (11/15 - 03/03). Revise plan in March as needed. Should lose approximately 30-40 lbs in this time.

[coldcrypt]

I'm marco, 26yo cis guy from UK. I got into weight loss because I wanted motivation to stop drinking around april 2022, and ended up bingeing and purging on avg 3 times a week for abt 6 months. I relapsed back into daily drinking (litre+ of vodka a day) and detoxed in hospital at the start of the year, but have been finding it really difficult to stop and stay stopped, so I'm back here. I've nearly died so many times recently from drinking and I just keep gaining/getting more and more swelling &bloating. If any alcoholics/bulimics have advice for someone who cant stop shovelling it in to get a sustainable deficit, I'd appreciate it a lot. My goal is to be safe about it, but I'm open to anything that works.

I'm experimenting with different methods of weight loss, sometimes fasting, sometimes rezzing, but am very inconsistent. I binge v often. This is not so much an accountability blog, more like recording what I've learnt and just venting. My bmi starting around may20th was 22 ish, was 5th june 20, 4th oct 22.5,and now 20.5 jan27th. Have to get it back to 20, but goal would be 18 with low body fat %. My main goal is to stop drinking and get healthier (thinner).

To do list:

get compression sleeves for running

Things that worked:

going to meetings make it much easier to abstain and think abt other things than food -> much easier rezzing

being distracted by things unrelated to food

having good food options for rezzing prepped, like boiled eggs, or having a solid stock of staples like steak, yoghurt, fruit and veg

not buying food that I will binge on, if I buy it, even if its not for me, I will eat it and get fat

taking longer routes/walking instead of getting train (energy, weather and mood permitting)

peppermint tea

keep it in the day. One day at a time really works, it just takes practise to get into mentally

supporting blood sugar throughout the day, especially if going out/socialising/towards the end of the day (when alc cravings pick up). This is best done with small amounts of carbs following a rly high protein 1st meal

Things that I was doing before but that didn't work out well:

taking K supplements (just eat s. potato for carb allowance, is filling too and has loads of K, stops palpitations when intermittent fasting)

pho, miso or gochujang as soup bases. They are too salty and lead to painful sluggish bloat.

Oyster sauce is not worth the cals

Diet sodas. Caffeine dependence builds really quickly and teeth need help

olive oil for sautéing vegetables. Pointless cals. Fats can come from lean meats like beef steak, eggs and occasional avo as well as omega3 supplements

fasting. At 18 hours I feel like I'm goin mental and at 22+ the palpitations make it uncomfortable to move around or do anything at all

strength training (esp core) at home without equipment. Dont enjoy it at all, not motivated at all

watching hours and hours a day of ED documentaries, scrolling ED tumblr, and watching hours of foodtube every day. Obsession -> binges

hard avoiding carbs. Leads to massive brain rot and feeling morbid. Can't do anything. Inevitable binges, usually alcohol, or 4000 cal of food.

sushi is not really worth it. White sushi rice is too sugary. Its usually a carb craving in disguise, or something to get on the go and is expensive.

weighing every morning just lead to trying to use caffeine as lax and more chaos on energy levels, or obsessing and not being distracted.

Press ups make my joints click a lot. Planking is really boring and doesnt feel rewarding.

Using sex for stim instead of food and cooking

Curious about:

feta, olives and cherry tomatoes for satiety.

Broccoli and mushrooms (annoying to prep or dont taste nice when boiled)

chicken sausages for cheap lean protein (think they can be a binge trigger or lead to mental scarcity feelings but not sure if worth)

ways to make cottage cheese not taste shit (cocoa powder is not cutting it)

cardio > strength training maybe. Runner's high > nothing from strength training (that I ever felt anyway).

Finding a way to enjoy strength training

yoga and stretching for stim

skipping breakfast has really mixed vibes. Can feel completely awful, but can also make rezzing much easier. Can also lead to binges in the evening (because there's unspent cals in the budget). Probably best to stick to eating breakfast but keeping it high protein and not eating right away when waking up.

Experiment with meds timings.

minced turkey or discount fish for lean protein variety

ways to make eating salad not miserable, cos it does work rly well for getting a deficit. (Maybe herbs and lemon and chickpeas? Make in bulk? Quinoa? Binge risk)

_____________

New plan from 4th Oct '23 can't be strict bc cant track exercise cals without a phone for looking at time spent walking and running so will need to do a gross-in instead of net- in quick basic (aspirational) plan:

1000 cal deficit/day for the next month -> 1500 gross in/day allowance

NO: baked beans, bone broth, oil, paté, pasta, alcohol, caffeine, quiche, cheese, instant snack food, pesto, chorizo, hummus, meal deal foods reason: too sugary or fatty for their worth in flavour. Cause binges every time when rezzing. Not filling enough. Caffeine leads to crashes and the pickmeup is usually food.

LESS: bread, onion, ketchup reason: can be useful carbs in a pinch, less likely to cause binges than above (because they are only accompanied with protein). Onion and ketchup help with mental scarcity and support good vibes

MORE: fruit, veg soup, sweet potato, tuna, s. noodles, fruit juice, avocado, egg, steak, quorn, butternut squash reason: sugar cravings need to be comboed with fibre addition, or fruit juice could be useful diluted for emergency alc cravings. Everything else is lean protein and should be frontloaded in the day. Sweet potato is there for potassium and low glycaemic index carbs. Avo and s. noodles are contentious bc of price and fat/nutritional value reasons

ALTERNATIVES TO EATING: gaming, reading, weighing, cleaning, brushing teeth, counting cals, weights, stretching, running, walking, meetings. mostly overeat because of boredom and to break monotony in free time or to stim. These are alternatives that work and also make rezzing easier in other ways.

[levil0vesyou]

Oh hey, I realised I can just ask for advice!

(Note: This is (mostly) not ebegging (nothing wrong with ebegging, just wanna be clear) even if it may sound that way in the first section. Please keep reading. It's pretty long tho, sorry. I'll put it under a cut as I am planning to pin it but please, please read it, especially if we're mutuals. Reblogs are welcome, especially within the german blogosphere, but don't feel obligated.)

So as some of you know, my flatmate has locked me out of the kitchen because I didn't have money for groceries and thus kept eating his food. This includes the electric kettle, microwave and most cutlery but I did accidentally keep a spoon that I still have now. (I have a small bottle of dish soap so yes, I can reuse it as I do still have bathroom access.)

I have since received my first unemployment payment which, due to my previous (necessary) overconsumption is mostly gone again now. I have 20€ and change (cash so paypal and my other debtors can't seize it) left for the rest of the month (new unemployment payment should arrive on the 1st) but I'm struggling to make it stretch.

I've been trying to search up advice on this but couldn't find anything useful. If you have links or anything, that'd be awesome. Here's the key points:

I live in Germany so subject to the German costs of living. Because I also can't afford public transport fare, my store choice is pretty much limited to a small-ish Rewe nearby. There's also a Mäc Geiz and a pharmacy but ofc those aren't grocery stores.

I do not have food allergies but I am a vegetarian and unless I'm literally dying, this situation will not change that.

As mentioned I have no access to a kettle, a microwave, a stove, a fridge or any of that. I do have access to my popcorn machine (many years of trusty service, real mvp) but that's it. I have access to a spoon and a sharp knife. Not a chef's knife tho. I do not have access to spices.

My mental health is still very bad, I cannot leave the house some days and I don't think I'd be able to do anything elaborate. Thus, whatever I eat has to be easily (or not at all) prepared but not easily perishable.

At this point, my standards are very low. My current main thing is eating unheated canned food but I'm prepared to eat basically anything I can stomach (excluding meat, as mentioned) in any way that is possible for me. I'm eating unseasoned chickpeas out of a jar right now. They're actually pretty good. I also (under normal circumstances) sometimes eat dry pasta for funsies so that might give you an idea.

I eat a lot. Less at the moment but still above average. I need plenty of carbs or I will still be hungry after. Essentially, pretend I'm feeding two people here.

I keep craving salt. I'm usually decent at telling what foods my body needs by cravings so I've been eating many crisps since I no longer have a spice cabinet. But they're 'spensive. I've also been craving eggs but I have no way to indulge since afaik boiled eggs are only sold around Easter. Also fruit juice but I can eat some vitamin gummies I still have instead, that'll probably be fine.

As stated, the budget is 20€ for 1½ weeks. I do have a bit of food already, some Zwieback, a pack of Leibniz cookies, a small jar of applesauce, a (hopefully not too spicy) can of chili sin carne, stuff like that. Also some hardtack I made months ago and just now remembered, but not a lot of it and I have no way to soak it, tho I might be able to clean an empty can.

While I'm not hoping to inflict permanent damage on my body, I am willing to take a few more risks than I usually would. That said, I can barely handle one or two short grocery trips a week so foraging isn't a good option at the moment. Also, laundry situation is difficult rn so avoiding diarrhea would be awesome 👍

While I am unemployed and legally homeless (I just haven't left yet) I have no documentation for this at the moment. I mention this because some food banks and similar require such documentation. Also, again, I have a very low travel range rn (like... 200m. 500 on a good day) but if you know like some kind of... delivery food bank?? that exists in Bavaria (dm me for the city) that would be incredible.

No, I can't get a job. I literally just tried that (again) and have reached a personal new low as a result. There were some in-between steps (like that fucking clinic) but yea, that's not an option. No, not even home office. No, not even freelance.

This one might seem entitled but. I cannot keep eating the same thing. I do have my samefoods (tho I cannot cook pasta rn for obvious reasons) but especially lately, eating the same thing for more than two or three days in a row has been low key driving me insane. Might be because I've been mostly cut off from society for months, might be because my body is sick of it, who knows. But I need variety. Same thing twice a week is fine, but more than that is pushing it. I'm very sorry.

As stated, this is not an ebegging post and I want nobody to feel any kind of obligation but if we're mutuals and you have a German bank account (or Schengen and are willing to pay the fee) and you desperately want to, you may dm me about it. But you do not have to!!! And I literally only say this because I know what it feels like to be on the other end of this. No, paypal is not an option, I'm triple digits in the red there. Water droplet on a hot stone etc.

What I am looking for is advice, especially from people who have dealt with severe financial issues and/or homelessness/kitchenlessness before. I've been kitchenless before but I had a fridge, microwave and somewhat reasonable money then so it didn't really prepare me. You can either comment or reblog directly or you can dm me or send me an ask. Anon is enabled.

Either way, thank you so much for taking the time to read all this! I love you, may you have a good day <3

actually so i think most of u know i grew up fat right like i was fat by the time i was like 4/5 and it was remarked upon all the time by adults and my parents were trying to diet me+my sister our entire childhoods until i acquired an ed when i was 15 and lost a ton of weight in 3 months and since then it's only been my sister getting that shit from everyone in the family. but anyway, when i was like 10 and my sister was like 8? i think around that time, my mom was told by my uncle who'd always been fat (even after a gastric bypass) that she should look into LCHF (which, fun fact, is a term I guess he coined?) for me and my sister because he had been working with this alternative doctor out of a town 2-ish hours away from where we lived and he was like an expert on this new amazing method for weightloss which is actually the Healthiest Way To Live and Eat. so my mom drove me and my sister all the fuckin way there for a meeting in which this doctor basically just told my mom oh they need to eat max 50g carbs a day and just SO MUCH FAT. and my mom just swallowed that shit whole like she restructured our entire diet and forced my sister and i to eat like a pack of bacon + scrambled eggs cooked in bacon grease every single morning and we were absolutely not allowed potatoes, pasta, bread or rice. she tried to get us to have spoonfuls of butter as a snack. she tried to get us to drink heavy cream instead of milk. and neither of us lost weight despite going through all of that, which my sister didn't mind it was food to her taste but it made me so fucking sick and miserable i didn't know what to fucking do, and then she just got even stricter with it and that shit went on for like 3 years until she finally gave up. and the entire time she was making my dad different meals including carbs n shit because he absolutely would not change the way he ate just because his kids were fat so i had to watch my dad eat potatoes with his dinner wishing i could have one because cheese-baked cauliflower gets really nauseating when you eat it nearly every fucking day and sometimes you really want a fucking carb with your meat and cream-based sauce. anyway that's why i hate low carb diets i know they work for some people but they press my fucking buttons intensely.

Ana Rules I’ve Been Following

I either Fast or I eat a meal at the end of the day 9pm-ish, there’s no snacking there’s no nothing, there’s no excuses. When I do eat I eat until full with a large glass of water and a gut healthy probiotic soda (they are all super low cal and taste good)

The priority for when I do eat is to consume a protein, a healthy fat, a carb, and to feel satisfied

Because I’m mostly fasting my stomach has shrunk, so when I do eat until full there isn’t actually much I’m consuming est. 800-1K calories

Every 15 pounds lost is one binge, this binge day involves a fasting day prior and afterwords

No working out on fasting days or if a week had a lot of fasting days (nothing is worth fainting in public, too much attention ew)

Eventually I wanna start taking some supplements daily, those will be fine on fasting days or not

Roast Chicken, Squash, and Red Onion with Lemon and Rosemary (1 spoon)

First of all, happy Disability Pride Month! I honestly wish I could do something a little more festive for it - I’ll see what I can dig up for the month. Still, since I’ll have to fight fibro fog and the consequences of last night’s rather epic bout of insomnia, mostly I’ll be going through a bit more of my Rukmini Iyer cookbook “The Roasting Tin” this month. Well, that and tips on a marinade for a really good roast beef, and possibly cottage pie if I have the spoons. That or I’ll finally make use of the recipe I found for home-made gluten free condensed cream of mushroom soup and finally do the tuna noodle casserole I’ve been desperate to try.

But for now, back to Rukmini Iyer’s obsession with red onions, lemon, and rosemary in combination (it was steak last time, if I recall). This one’s a one-spoon, but that one spoon is a fairly large one because of the peeling, seeding, and chopping of a squash. Still, despite that and it not being all that great for batch cooking (it only realistically makes two meals), it’s still worth it, as it’s a really tasty dish and at least it’s one day’s worth of leftovers. It’s good for if you feel like doing something fancy but also need it to be low-effort.

Here’s what you’ll need:

500g (a little over a pound) chicken thighs and drumsticks (though I just used thighs)

300g (a little over 1/2 pound) squash of your choice, cut into wedges (I used butternut)

1 red onion, cut into eighths

1 lemon, cut into eighths

6 cloves garlic, bashed

4-5 sprigs fresh rosemary

2-3 tablespoons honey

Olive oil (though you could technically use whatever oil is available)

Salt and pepper to taste

Seriously, the only real work this involves is peeling a squash, which is never easy. I largely picked butternut squash because I like butternut squash, it’s easier to come by in the UK than acorn squash, and it’s a little easier to peel, if not by that much. I did manage to do this one during a particularly brutal pain day, though, so it’s probably not that bad.

Here’s what you do:

Preheat oven to 200 C / 180 C fan assist / gas mark 6 (395-ish F / 355-ish F fan assist)

Place chicken, squash, onion, lemon, garlic, and rosemary in a large roasting tin

Throw in a generous splash of olive oil, drizzle in the honey, and add salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything in the tin so it’s all evenly coated with the oil and honey, then roast for 1 hour until the skin on the chicken is brown and crispy

Overall, pretty simple. A couple of notes:

I cheated with this one. I didn’t actually have a lemon and was having too bad a pain day to go out for one. So I just put the oil, the honey, and some bottled lemon juice in a bowl, mixed well, and then poured that over the chicken and veggies. I probably used a bit too much lemon juice, and I imagine it would have been a subtler flavour had it just soaked out of the roasting lemons as intended, but it still worked fairly well. Probably easier than trying to evenly coat everything with honey, too, so if you do have a lemon, mixing the honey into the oil before coating the chicken and veggies would probably make things easier.

I served this with potatoes, but I have a feeling rice would have worked better. Though that could have been the “too much lemon” thing. Either way, it does probably want a little bit of something starchy to go with it. Or, if you’re cutting down on your carbs, something like broccoli or asparagus or something green might also be nice - there was just an awful lot of orange and yellow on that plate in general and while I’m not going to win any Instagram foodie contests for my plating, it’s nice to have some colour in the dish.

Like I said, there’s honestly not much to this one beyond having to peel a squash.

I’m at the doctor’s office for my physical today. My weight today was 192.7. I started at 202ish five-ish weeks ago.

I haven’t weighed less than 190 in at least three years, and I am super stoked that I am almost there. Back in the day I was 170. I’m nearly 5’10”, so I have my height working as an advantage, but I put on shorts today that were super tight and uncomfortable last summer. They feel good today!

I will say that this whole exercise/eating thing takes up a lot of time and mental energy. I am low on calcium and the good kind of cholesterol so when I met with my trainer this week she encouraged me to add slivered almonds and chia seeds to my oatmeal this week. I tried it this morning, and loved them. I’m thankful to have someone helping me with the journey as that was easy to do and not gross; both of which I appreciated.

I am walking about two miles a day and that takes me 35-40 minutes depending on how fast I can pace myself. The workouts take me about 35-45 minutes and I’m doing those about five days a week. Then I’m tracking everything I eat in MyFitnessPal. Eating is still challenging because I’m hungry, I’m always under in protein consumption and often over in carbs, but the accountability is helpful. I’m learning. It’s just a slow process and requires a lot of thinking on my end.

when i am eating i never feel bad if its beef or chickeni just try to have a lot of veggies and low carbs if its possible and its like, it was hard but my body prefers this bc maybe some foods make me nauseous or maybe its just knowing that i hate feelong too full or full at all, so if i eat more i have to ease into it

but idk i am rly anxious abt stuff and just trying to live and do well at school ya know

at this point i get distracted so much with hobbies and small social stuff that i only have enough time for school and money for survival if i am working and doing schoolwork all the time, and during work even though I have infinite access to food and smoothies I force myself to drink water bc im always dehydrated anyway and the smoothies have always made my stomach uncomfortable. ill have small amounts tho, or some whipped cream w espresso in the espresso cups r so cute,

but anyway a week or 2 ago i was 160 or 162 but then my mom came into town and it was my partners bday so i was eating some stuff but still avoided a lot? but i did eat a lot of chocolate covered strawberries lmao they were good tho i dont regret (theyre technically still fruit rigghhhttt)

Just as my (tested negative) cold finally sinks slowly in the west, I’m gearing up for ChiCon.  Gotta shill for a couple author friends of mine, want to see the outside world and nerddom again, but without having to actively Work my own booth. I am making ~Fancy make-ahead lunches for this long weekend.  Something I always intended to do but never quite got the chance to was to make lowER carb, healthy-ISH food that would let us get through convention weekends without having to spend as much on restaurants and not blow our collective blood sugar all to hell. Today’s work is link sausage and almond flour pancakes.  The pancakes won’t quite wrap around the links as intended for pigs in a blanket, so I may just pack them in as dunkers for whipped butter and very-low-sugar macerated strawberries whichIforgottoputthebalsamicvinegarinarrrrgh

According to research, meals high in protein and healthy fats and low in refined carbohydrates are among the most satiating foods available. These tiny snacks, when combined with a few sweat sessions every week, can help to tone up your body's lean muscle mass and enhance your metabolism. And what about those of you who are anxious about blasting away your muffin top? A 2016 study published in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association discovered that those who eat fewer than 45 percent of their daily calories from carbohydrates can lose 2.5 to 9 pounds more in the first 6 months than people who eat a low-fat diet. Each serving of the Eat This, Not That! -Approved foods listed below have no more than 250 calories, 13 grams of carbs, and 7 grams of sugar. Shopping for weight loss snacks can be a snap with this list as your guide! It appears that keeping these items in your desk drawer is a no-brainer! Also, don't miss these tasty, portable snacks that can help you maintain your weight or attain your weight-loss goal. The very finest and the worst worst All nuts include healthful fats, vitamins, and minerals, and consuming them may even help improve some risk factors for heart disease. However, the carbohydrate content of various nuts varies significantly. To the left are the three lowest carb options: Brazil, macadamia, and pecan nuts. When following a low-carb diet, they should be the first nuts chosen because they are low in carbohydrates and high in fat, and most people find them tasty! A word of warning, though, concerning Brazil nuts. They are an excellent source of selenium, and simply one or two a day will provide you with all the selenium you require. Just don't go overboard! More than 20 may cause selenium poisoning. Most low-carbers can enjoy the group in the center in moderation. Pistachio and (particularly) cashew nuts are the worst selections to the right. If you're attempting to stick to a ketogenic diet, these nuts should be avoided since the carb grams quickly mount up. Two handfuls of cashews comprise 20 grams, which is the daily allotment on a low-carb diet. Also, keep in mind that, regardless of carbohydrate content, nuts are tasty and easy to overeat. So, if you want to reduce weight, keep your servings small. Salted and rewarded Most individuals believe that salted nuts taste better and are more satisfying. Be aware that this might frequently result in consuming far more nuts than necessary to satisfy your appetite, which can slow down weight reduction. It's a good idea to bring out a little dish of nuts rather than the full bag. ** Pro-Tip Go here for additional healthy snack brands and here for every kind of snack possible! This is the perfect list of keto-friendly snacks to keep you full all day.

I made pyrizhky for my partner's grandma. Also: sourdough crackers with (homegrown!) rosemary.

She's kinda my hero, and when I heard she's not doing so well, I wanted to visit her and give her goodies.

When she saw them, she exclaimed, "Piroshky! But, usually they are smaller?"

I stuff them with lots of sauerkraut because I eat a low-ish carb diet, so they are non-traditional that way. But I hope she still likes them!

Lazy Man's Garlic Bread*:

Bread, any kind (Italian bread for bonus points)

Butter or margarine (I prefer margarine)

Garlic Powder

Salt (I use coarse salt)

ITALIAN SEASONING don't skip this one, trust me.

Toast bread in toaster, wait.

Spread butter/margarine on toast.

Lay everything flat and sprinkle spices liberally. In order of most to least: Garlic - Italian Seasoning - Salt.

Notes under the read more:

🍞 For bread, I like Old Tyme's 647 Italian or potato bread because its low carb and low calorie. I know "healthy" bread normally tastes bad but these are excellent, they taste like normal sliced bread.

🍞 On the toast, I'd recommend just 2-3 minutes or so, but it varies by toaster and preference. You want crunchy edges and a soft-ish middle

🧈 If your buttered doesn't melt, microwave for 5-10 seconds. Not too long as it ruins the crunch.

🧂With the spices, if you use table salt you may need more than with coarse. Salt is really up to your preference as well though.

🧂 The Italian seasoning is what really makes it taste like garlic bread.

🧂 Sometimes I'll add chilli powder, red pepper flakes, or just black pepper if I'm feeling spicy 🔥 but this does change the flavor of it to be less like garlic bread imo

🛍️ If you want to make it even lazier, they sell premade garlic butter. I just prefer to use my own ingredients as it helps me control my calories and other nutrients better.

*it's "lazy" because there is no oven or timers, slicing, extra grocery store trips or anything else. Most of this stuff is usually already around. Obviously you could just buy premade garlic bread but in this "recipe" the caloric intake is better controlled.
