About me

Gender Female
Location Portland, Oregon
Introduction What started as a personal goal to start eating healthier using the French Diet restrictions of low carb, no sugar eating turned into a whole new world of food. Now over a year later my fella and I are still eating this way and have never been happier. Along the way we've both lost over 30 pounds (without denying ourselves the pleasure of wine or dessert!), I found out I'm allergic to gluten and dairy (yay?! more food restrictions ) and we've been cooking fun and sometimes challenging food ever since. Turns out eating healthy doesn't have to be a chore, the trick is cooking what you love at home where you can use fresh and healthful ingredients. I don't think of giving up carbs, cheese and wheat as restrictive I think of it as an adventure and an excuse to cook new and interesting things. So join me as I continue the craziness that is the French Diet.
