Welcome to my recipe blog!
This blog came out of my need to survive my diet. I am working with a weight loss doctor, and my diet is very limited. It consists mainly of lean protein, with some vegetables and fruits, but all of them low glycemic. The problem is this: I love to eat. My tastebuds didn't agree to go on a diet, and they still demand some satisfaction.
After the first week on my program, I knew I needed to find some recipes or I was going to get bored very fast. I looked all over the internet, and found lots of low carb recipes, but they were high in fat. I also found a lot of low fat recipes, but they were all high in carbs.
I've been a cook all my life, and I enjoy cooking. I do my best when I don't have a recipe - so I decided to just start coming up with some ideas of my own.
As the collection grew, I started sharing it with a few people, and soon realized there was a need for a cookbook out there.
I have assembled a small collection of recipes that I plan to expand. These recipes will help you stick to your plan while allowing you to enjoy your food.
I plan to post tips and tricks here, as well as helpful links, and a few recipes.
I welcome your feedback, and would love to have your input. If you have tips you have learned or other recipes I haven't discovered, please share them with me. If I publish your tip or recipe, you will receive full credit, and I'll send you a copy of the new edition.
To date, I am down 23 pounds in 9 weeks on my program, and a total of 47 pounds from 2 years ago.
I hope I can provide you with some ideas that will help make your weight loss journey enjoyable as well as successful.
If you want to contact me, feel free to send me an email at tastebudsdiet@gmail.com
Wishing you happy tastebuds and shrinking fat cells....
