Losing weight slowly, in public

I weighed 293 pounds in January. I weigh 283 now. That's ten pounds in seven months, which is slower than anything anyone tries to sell you, and I still don't know if it's going to work. I'm writing it down anyway — every weigh-in, including the bad ones, and the food I actually cook.

Recipes

  • Overnight Oats

    104 g of sprouted oats, a scoop of protein powder and 140 g of blueberries, built in a jar the night before. Five minutes of work at a time when I am already in the kitchen.

  • Ground Beef Pasta with Red Lentils

    Lean ground beef, cavatelli and red lentils in a sauce built from canned whole tomatoes. The lentils are the reason this one is worth writing down.

  • Instant Pot Sofrito Chicken

    Chicken tenderloins, Loisa sofrito, salt and water. Pressure cooked and shredded in the sauce.

  • Sofrito Chicken Rice Bowl

    A serving of the sofrito chicken over basmati, with half a jar of kidney beans. The bowl I build when the chicken is already made.
