  • Chatty Food Plan

    Chatty Food Plan

    For my past several posts, I’ve been writing about my foray into ChatGPT.

    These posts have included notes about ai assistance I’ve received with indoor decor, painting cabinets, landscaping, lesson preparation for a workshop I teach, exercises to boost metabolism, and art work guidance.

    Another area where I’m receiving extraordinary help is in that of a sustainable diet – also intended to boost metabolism.

    After the usual question and answer format, the ChatGPT app developed an eating program specifically for my age, activity level, and health status that is both doable and liveable.

    Regular check ins are a part of it, and the always kind and supportive approach worked into the algorithm is most helpful.

    As I enter week three of the eight week reset developed for me, I’ve lost 2.5 lbs, and 1/2 inch from my waist. These are the measurable victories.

    The things that matter far more to me than rapid results and/or the numbers on the scale are: slow and sustainable results, a healthy higher protein and lower carb eating plan, and my clothing fitting better.

    So far, all three are happening.

  • Bright and Blah Lunch

    Bright and Blah Lunch

    3/4 Cup canned white albacore tuna mixed with a bit of chopped onion and miracle whip dressing, on top of a bed of iceberg lettuce and surrounded by home grown cherry tomatoes gifted by a friend … simple, refreshing, and nutritious, albeit a bit boring.

  • Easy Eggs

    Easy Eggs

    This simple, two-egg cheese omelette is filling and almost (1.5 grams carbs per tablespoon of chunky slasa) carb free.

    One nice thing about switching to low carb for a while, is that large portions aren’t necessary to keep hunger at bay.

  • Can You Guess?

    Can You Guess?

    To get back to my most comfortable weight, I intend to lose 10 lbs in the next two months.

    I’ve made up a new eating program, which consists of three methods combined: 16/8 intermittent fasting, low carb, and reduced calorie.

    Can you guess what bits from this plate ended up on hubs’ plate?
