On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all.
Yes, you did read that title right: I’m off LCHF or any sort of low-carb diet. Or any diet for that matter.
No, I did not “give up”. No, I’m not going to “go crazy” and stuff my face with thousands of calories. I feel stronger than ever before, on a physical, mental and emotional level. I’m ready to achieve my goals the healthy way and be happy while doing it.
I don’t want to get too much into my nutrition right now. I don’t want to summarize it with any sentences that sound good. I don’t want to have a slogan or a theory behind my eating. I’m still figuring out how things will exactly be. All I can say right now, is that the book “How to Have Your Cake and Skinny Jeans Too” by Josie Spinardi totally revolutionized EVERYTHING. Turns out, all I really needed was some food psychology. My deepest and most honest THANK YOU to the person who recommended it. I don’t know how or if I can ever repay you for that!

Nutrition information
I really want to point out that I’m not counting anything (macros, calories) anymore. Today I weighed my food and wrote it down in a notepad only to make this blogpost. I weighed my food, made notes in the Notes app on my phone and put the data in LifeSum app just before making this post. I didn’t track calories during the day or pay any attention to nutrition facts when choosing my food. I just ate homemade food when I was hungry.
A lot of disclaimers in this Food Friday. I debated long and hard whether to make a Food Friday post today at all. I decided to make one. I don’t know how to introduce my current eating habits (I don’t want to use the words new plan because I see this solution as something different than a plan) with words so let the pictures to the talking 🙂
If you have any questions about my nutrition… well, you can ask but I’m not sure I can answer them all just yet. This is all very new to me. But one thing is 100% sure: I’m not on LCHF anymore. I’m done with dieting.
Next Food Friday in a week!
(By the way: the introduction sentence of this post series – “On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all.” – doesn’t really suit my philosophy anymore. I mean, I still will tell you about every single bite of food that day but I don’t label days with words “good” or “bad” anymore.)
