Word on the street is you have missed me. Ok, 1 of you has missed me. A lot has happened while I've been gone. I moved (just across town). I became an avid fan of Arrested Development (and George Michael Bluth). I broke out the flip flops again (hello, Rainbows). But those events are un-blogworthy. A nice pair of sandals and a new location isn't going transform your diet. So what will? My decision to start eating better myself.
I can't take full credit for this decision. One night while chowing down on some blackberry pie, my boyfriend decided we should "go low-carb". However, his version of low-carb is more like no-carb. As a dietitian, I'm a strong believer in including all food groups (carbohydrate, protein, and fat). By foregoing all carbs, you're missing out on the dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals found in fruits, whole grains, and even milk. And if you know me at all, I am a fiber advocate so eliminating carbs completely was just not going to happen. Plus, not getting enough carbs can also cause the body to go into ketosis, which I'll let you Google if you are really that curious to learn about it. But I did like the challenge of going lowER carb with my diet, like trying to reduce processed foods and sugar, and help me eat more protein. I've been cooking some lowER carb gems lately, and I want to share them with you! I've got some great pictures but a misplaced camera cord I intend to find in the next day or two. So brace yourself, I'm back and I've brought some nutritious meals with me. Get excited.
