A love of food, especially the sweet variety, has got me and my sweet tooth in all kinds of trouble. The visible kind mostly. The FAT BODY kind. I mean, it’s not something you can hide. It’s out there for all to see (judge?).
The elephant in the room!
There, I’ve said it—because it’s how I’ve felt—a lot of the time. Like a big, old, lumbering elephant.
Excess Weight…
It’s a burden that affects everything you do. Everywhere you go. 24-7-365!
Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, NutriSystem?
I tried all those and MORE! Locked away my appetite and threw away the key. Even spent time in DIET shake prison and white-knuckled my way to the end!
Did I lose weight?
Yes.
Did I keep it off?
What do you think?
Surprise, surprise! I actually achieved some success. But, unfortunately, just as you may have suspected, I did NOT keep it off!
Any loss on the scales was fleeting at best and always short-lived. No matter what, that pesky old weight just always came back!
Predictable as a TV re-run…
I’d start out great.
Lose the weight.
Fall off the wagon.
Gain the weight back.
Repeat it again and again.
Let’s just say, if you’re anything like me, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
Bashing my head against the same brick wall (Insanity?)
Why?
Why can’t I just get it right?
What’s wrong with me?
Blame it on the hunger.
The deprivation.
The thought of counting another calorie, point…or crumb!
Enough!
No point trying, might as well give up.
So that’s what I did.
Sad as can be (on the inside of course).
And that’s how I stayed.
For a very long time.
Until…
I discovered Low Carb High Fat (Keto).
A plan both me and my sweet tooth can live with.
A plan that works.
A plan that CAN work for YOU too!
Are you sick and tired of the diet treadmill? Have you been searching for a healthy eating plan that works for YOU and not the other way around?

Hungry for more?
So, what do you say?
How about we do this together?
YOU have nothing to lose but some weight and a whole heap of (DIET) frustration!

Hi Robyn,
Yay…nice to know I am not alone. Think there might be a few of us out there with a sweet tooth affliction. Am looking to add lots more content and promise to tell you everything I know. What I can say right now is that it really is possible to enjoy the sweeter things in life while losing weight. There’s loads of tasty treats for the savoury lovers as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you enjoy the recipes as they are added.
This sounds just what I’m into right now. I got soooo sick of counting everything I ate!! Given up sugar 3 weeks ago and never felt better. I still get cravings for snacks – so I’m just having fruit but I really think it’s just a reach out habit. I see the kids snacking and I want to too. Looking forward to reading your blog more 🙂
Hi Jo,
Congratulations on giving up sugar. That is such an achievement and so good that you are feeling better without it. If you enjoy fruit, it’s a good idea to go for berries, rather than other fruits that have a higher sugar content. A small serve of, say, 1/4 cup frozen or fresh berries, with some full fat Greek yoghurt topped with a tsp of slivered almonds would make a great breakfast and should keep any cravings at bay. Great for the kids, too!
Thanks for visiting and keep an eye out for recipes which will be coming soon.
Just read your blog ? And recipes ! Thanks for inspiring and sharing your journey.
Hi Amanda,
Welcome and thank you for your kind words. 🙂
I could have written that very same post! It feels amazing to be free of the ‘sugar monster’. Have you seen that new documentary called ‘Fat Chance’? It’s worth a watch.
Hi Gem,
Thanks so much for stopping by. Yes, freedom from the sugar monster feels so good. Thanks so much for letting me know about the new “Fat Chance” documentary. I have not seen it but will be sure to check it out. Thank you!
