Starting My Low Carb Blog


Hi! My name is Marcy, and I began my journey to a new, healthier lifestyle in June of 2023. I was insulin dependent, physically very out of shape, and about 60 or 70 pounds overweight (not exactly sure because I never stepped on the scales, except when a doctor requested it during an appoinment).

I started this blog in October of 2023 to begin sharing some of my achievements, lessons learned, some of the goals I've met and new ones that I've made, and so on. Please believe that even though I've studied a lot to learn what I need to do to accomplish my personal goals, I AM NOT an expert, I DO NOT give advice on what you should eat, exercises you should do, NOR any medical advice (since I'm not a physician).

PLEASE inform yourself and seek any needed medical advice BEFORE you begin any diet or exercises, or other lifestyle changes. I don't give advice...I just record what I'm doing and whether or not it has worked FOR ME.

Books about low carb diets and recipes to help you stay on track.
