Sweet! My friend is starting a small farm and we'll be using @soli.deo.gloria at some point for written content. He mentioned a podcast, so it's cool to know there's an audio hosting platform on Hive.
Twenty pounds in twelve weeks? That's a heck of a goal, but the sugar is a good place to start. Check out the prometabolic diet, my wife is about it after an autoimmune diagnosis. It might be useful to you, but it's not a weight-based restrictive diet, so it might not be exactly what you're wanting. Just another tool in the toolbox.
Ahh, I love to hear of people starting small farms, gave that page a follow, and I am so looking forward to future posts!
And thanks for the prometabolic tip, I am all about learning about new ways of doing things, especially eating. I've already crushed a quarter of my goal, it's not even a number thing for me, mainly just tidying up lazy habitual behavior and wanting to feel better stuff. Plus, I like to keep myself on my toes. Last time I had a goal such as that it was because I had to fit into a corseted ball gown, this time my aim's a bit less, well, restrictive haha ha!
As a fellow autoimmune disease person, I feel for your wife, it's truly no fun, and I am glad she has found something that helps:)
Hope all is well down south!
