I can not believe that it has been he and me for two years now! But two wonderful years has already passed and many more will come! I'm as in love today as I was when I met Jair! I just can't wish for a more wonderful guy, he's the best!!

We met in Salvador at a bar around 2 am. He was so exotic, so I was immediately curious! He had braids in his hair braided zig-zag, surf clothing and he was very brown! And he was a surf instructor ... Mmm, yummy... I thought! He was everything that I thought was exciting but I also thought was a little bit scary. When he told me he lived in a favela (ghetto), I thought he lied to me. But the next day, I went to his house and met his family. It was really scary, exciting and fun at the same time. I remember sitting and talking with Jair's mom about snow in Sweden because it was the only words I knew in Portuguese while I heard Jair singing in the shower!

That was the only time that Jair sang in the shower so I was for sure very special....!!

I can tell you more another time because now we will celebrate our two-years-aniversare by going to the movies!

Gorgonzola stuffed burgers - LCHF I love!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Now it's time for my first LCHF dinner! Jair is cooking as usual!

Our dinner will be gorgonzola stuffed burgers in cream sauce with baked vegetables such as broccoli, peppers, zucchini and onions. I have gotten the picture and the recipe below from a lovely food blog that I started to read. Click here to go to the blog (in Swedish)!

Photo och recipe comes from Anna Jacobsson

500 g minced meat
2 egg yolks
1/2 dl cream (the fattest alternative)
100 g gorgonzola
Salt and black pepper


Mix salt with the meat and 2 egg yolks (we forgot them but it was perfect anyway). Make burgers around a big piece of gorgonzola in the middle. If you don't like gorgonzola, you can replace it with Parmesan (at least ​​my fiancé did that)! When the burgers are cooked. Make a sauce of the dripping which is left in the pan after frying. Add cream and the rest of the gorgonzola (if there is any left).

Now let's eat! I could never imagine that a diet can be as tasty as this one, I think that is why it is called pleasure diet!

My LCHF-shelf in the fridge!

Not so much on the shelf yet, but Jair is in the grocery store right now so it'll be more soon. Coca-Cola Zero is not healthy, but it is alright if you eat LCHF!

False start of the LCHF-diet

I jump the gun this morning and started with the LCHF food one day early. I thought it would be good to try out some of the LCHF food today. Breakfast is the tricky thing in LCHF! So today I'm going to try some alternatives so that I know what to eat this week.

Today I ate some Kesella with blueberries and raspberries for Breakfast. Berries are not really LCHF food but very good for the body so think I'll eat it anyway. Not a lot, not very often, but once a week at least.

Did you know that you can't get groceries with LCHF-diet and recipies delivered directly to your house??? Me neither! They deliver both to Stockholm and Gothenburg. Their little bag of groceries is 549 SEK for one week and then there is enough food for 2 people for 5 days!

Of course, I ordered it to try. I think this is a really good way to get started and get ideas for some nice food! To get to their website, click here!

LCHF pros and cons!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

I haven't gotten cold feet yet, but it is good to get prepared for the change! Right now, I just think that it's exciting, a nice challenge! Here are my pros and cons.

I can eat a lot of:                           I can't eat:

+ Fat (that taste goood…)                - Candy, Chips… (of course I can't eat)

++ Meat                                            - Fruits

+ Fish                                                - Flour

+ Chicken                                          - Potato, pasta, rice

+++ Cheese, Cambozola, cheese!!        -Bread :(

+ Egg                                                - Under earth vegetables

+ Fat sauces                                   

+ Avocado

+ Mushrooms

+ Vegetables which grows up earth

+ Dark chocolate is ok

+ Red wine is ok

- Cream is good but scary

The scariest thing is that you should eat fat! That feels very strange! I have avoided fat in all these years and now I'm supposed to start to eat it! The plate model has scared me! Fat provides fat! But is it so that it is carbohydrates that provide fat? I'll try one month anyway!

By the LCHF-diet is Swedish!!

The plate model was a scam!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Just before Christmas, I worked out like crazy for about 6-8 weeks, but I only lost 1 kg... that's neither motivating nor fun? My body is incredibly slow ... I know! I always knew that! All previous times when I have lost weight, I have only been eating salad or soup. Because it's simply and quick to prepare and doesn't taste like shit after having it in the microwave (because you don't even microwave salad).


But now I do not cook or eat salad anymore and I can't eat soup every day! And I have the luxury to have a fantastic chef in the kitchen so I don't need cook to!

Now I want to try something new! I want try what everyone's talking about! LCHF! Low Carb High Fat. Everyone says it's good, everyone I know who have tried. My sister eats it too! And it is a proven method! Before LCHF there where to other methods, GI and Atkins, which is almost the same thing.

I'll start on Monday! This week I will clean the fridge - at least one shelf to be LCHF products!

In the middle of the diet jungle, I'm still wondering... What happened to the plate model??? Was it just a scam??? A constant nagging from housecraft teacher with no basis????

Seriously, is there anyone who can remember how to eat according to the housecraft teacher if you wanted to lose weight?

If you really want to know the truth of the plate model ... then you can check out this post "The plate model cause cancer" (in Swedish) which a LCHF girl has written.

Against all odds!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Do not miss the fantastic program "Against all odds" (in Swedish), which began last Tuesday. The second episode was on TV today! It really touched my heart and I couldn't stop watching! I was planning to write in my blog but I could not stop watching. My grandmother told me about the program but I thought at first that it wasn't anything for me, but it was really interesting. It is available on SVT Play for those who missed the first two episodes.

The program is about 10 disabled people who will walk from Viktioriafallen in Zambia to the Skeleton Coast of Nambi. It's a tough journey with dangerous wild animals such as elephants, crocodiles, buffalo, black mamba, etc.

Here are the participants. Several of the participants have amputated legs and arms, some have serious visual impairment, one has massive burn damages... It's amazing that they can make this trip! It is really against all odds! Read more about the participants here.

Below are two apetizers of the program... These people's stories were really touched my heart!

Lena - split into two parts in an accident with a truck

Lena also has a blogg, click here!

Leif had to amputate both legs and arms, because of blood poisoning

I can't even imagine how much their lives have changed. I really admire them, they're so strong!

Dentist on my five fingers...!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Yes, I can actually count on my five fingers how many times I have been to the dentist this year .. I have been there exactly five times! And I'm going there again! One more time! Can you imagine, it has just been one month this year and I have already been there 5 times!! Three times about the wisdom tooth and two times to the dental regulation to put a retainer that will keep my teeth in place.

The only problem is that when I were there today, the retainer they made didn't fit. It was due to a misunderstanding between the dentist and the manufacturers of retainer (the thread that will be fitted behind my teeth). So now I must go back there on Valentine's Day again to put a new one.

Even though it did not fit, they fixed it pretty far down so I have to be careful when I chew, so I do not bite it off. Basically, can not really chew at all.... But I don't think I've ever been this happy for a stupid thread that has been fitted badly in my mouth! Because tonight, I don't need to sleep with a stupid uncomfortable brace!

Egg and farofa!!! Yummy!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

It is really delicious! I could never imagine that! Farofa is a kind of flour made from Manioc (a kind of root vegetable). Brazilians like to use it to make the food more dry. They're not so fond of food with a lot of sauce. If it is a lot of sauce, they will add some flour so that the food get really dry!

I've never been a big fan of farofa, but eggs and farofa is actually really good! By the way, farofan is imported from Brazil!

Dexter - evening entertainment!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

My dad has been nagging that we should start watching Dexter. Both me and Jair like TV-shows. When we like a TV-show, we watch until we have seen all the episodes. Therefore we watch one TV-show at the time! So first we watched all the episodes of Flashback (only one season so that went fast). Then we started with Ghost Whisperer, then we watched all the episodes of Medium. The funny thing is that in Ghost Whisperer they always drank red wine so we did that too. In  Medium they drank beer, so we did that too... Yes, we definitley got affected...!!!

Now we have started to watch Dexter... The seasons are pretty short so as we have already reached the final episode of season 3 and it's really exciting! A little bit psycho, but exciting and good! But in this case we do not want to be affected and take after or so...! Dexter's a serial killer!

iPhone just died!!

Vill du läsa det här på svenska? Klicka här!

Last night when Jair were using his iPhone it just died all sudden and refused to start again. Jair was in a bad mood the rest of the night!

So today I called the support and they told me to hold the home button and start button at the same time for a while and then the Apple logo should appear on the phone and it did! Then I just needed to connect the iPhone to a computer and it started to work again!

So now Jair is normal again - he finally recovered from this horrible experience!

I asked support if she knew why it happened like this. She didn't know but it is apparently quite common among iphones.
