I started this blog initially when I started the Atkins diet. As a vegetarian I'd looked around lots of resources for low carb food which was vegetarian as well and had little success, nearly all low carb blogs etc were focused around meat/fish. I however, not only don't eat meat or fish, but also am particularly passionate about local, homegrown food (grown by me wherever possible), and food that not only tastes amazing, but that also looks delicious. In the past I dabbled simultaneously with the VB6 (vegan before 6pm) way of eating and while I no longer do this, I do eat a lot of plant based (vegan) food and as such many of the recipes you will see on here are vegan, or can be easily adapted to be vegan. Since then I have lost over 3 stone following this way of eating but still have around 1.5 stone left to go. I won’t lie, it’s got more difficult and as such I sometimes mix things up and try other diets (usually ridiculous fad ones), and share the results here.
In addition, lots of the recipes that I did find had either ingredients that I hadn't heard of or couldn't easily find, carbquick, or spaghetti squash anyone?? I wanted to create a little space where I could document all the recipes I'd tried, and also where I could have a little chat/rant when there was no one around to listen...
Hope this is helpful to people and I would love to hear how other people are doing and would also love to hear your recipes and ideas too!
Since I started the blog originally, I evolved it somewhat to include other things that interest me including cruelty free beauty, travel and my love for gardening and flowers. It's nice having somewhere to keep all my thoughts and photos all together. These bits might or might not interest you; if they don;t feel free to skip these and just dip into the food and recipe posts, equally these might be the only bits you're interested in which case just skip the foodie bits!
