I'm Mimi and this is my anonymous weight loss blog. I'll post updates on my progress or lack of it, current health information, recipes, articles, workouts and quotes.
My diet history & why I eat low-carb.
I have PCOS & anemia and because of them I don't follow a mainstream diet. Some of my posts include controversial information and topics. If this bothers you then please don't follow me.

Salmon patties, quick, easy, and awesome!
420g Tin salmon- liquid discarded
1 spring onion sliced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 egg
1/2 cup almond meal
salt and pepperPut almond meal on a plate. Mix all other ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, make 6 patties then coat in almond meal. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes each side. Delicious!

Just ran 4 miles. Yay.
Sticking to a healthy diet can be hard if you don’t plan ahead, especially if you are eliminating something from your diet as commonplace as carbs. How easy is it to boil up some pasta or pop in a microwave burrito?
In order for me to stay on track I came up with a menu for our house. I brainstormed all the low carb entrees I know how to make and added some more I found on pinterest and other sites and categorized it by cuisine. I print out a menu every sunday and have my husband select our meals for the week before I go to the store. That way I know I have everything on hand for a healthy week of meals.
This menu can be customized to whatever diet you are following. Just jot down all the recipes you know or ones you have been wanting to try. We use the “special request” section for anything new we might come across.
I hope this idea helps you stick to a healthy menu in your home.
Enjoy!
This is a great idea. I have something similar but instead of cooking styles I’ve organized them into categories based on the main ingredient. That way if I have chicken but I’m not sure what to make I can check the list and see if there’s anything I haven’t made in a while.
nut butters- really wanna try the pistachio with salt and pepper pistachios- bet it would be delish!
