Low fat low carb Christmas cookies

 Merry Christmas everyone! I know so many people who does not like Christmas, but for some reason I started to really this time of year few years back. I do not know, maybe it is because I do not stress so much about my body and all the food? Anyway I hope you are having good time and that you also like Christmas time as much as I do. Today I have for you this awesome simple recipe for low fat low carb Christmas cookies.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 oz. butter
  • 1¼ cups (5 oz.) almond flour
  • ¾ cup (5½ oz.) erythritol
  • ½ cup (12⁄3 oz.) coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp ground psyllium husk powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  1. Mix the water and spices in a really small saucepan. Bring it to boil. Remove from heat and add the butter. Stir it until it is melted. The cinnamon will make the consistency a bit slimy.
  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the spice mixture and egg white. Mix it all thoroughly and shape the dough into a nice ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight to let the flavors mature. This is not necessary step, but believe me it will taste much better if you do.
  3. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  4. Cut the dough in half and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough. Placing the dough between two pieces of parchment paper is in my experience the easiest way how to do this. When flattened, the dough should be about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Using cookie cutters, cut the gingerbread cookies into shapes. Use a spatula to carefully move them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake the cookies for about 7-9 minutes or until they are lightly browned. They must be only lightly browned, it is very easy to burn them. Lower the heat of your owen to 200°F (100°C) and continue to bake the cookies for about 30 minutes or until crisp depending on the size and thickness of the cookies. You need to watch them carefully, because it is very easy to burn them since thickness is so low.
  6. Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before serving or decorating them. I do not suggest eating them the same day, next day or even later they taste the best. Enjoy this recipe, they really taste wonderful and they are good for your body as well. It is not true that healthy low carb diet must taste awful.

Things That Actually Helped Me Lose 50 Pounds

I have finally forced myself to wrap up my findings after almost six months of my war with fat and write it all in single post. First of all I would like to tell you that there is no magic trick, no work for all plan or pill. Everyone is different and everyone has to find they own way how to get fit. This is not my first try, I have tried to lose weight and to get to better shape. I have tried many times before, methods that worked for other people that just have not worked for me. That does not mean those methods were bad, it just mean that everyone is different and everyone needs something different. so even if this does not work for you, do not give up. I strongly believe that anyone can lose weight, you just need to find method that works for you. These are the things that helped me the most: 1. Keeping in mind what my goal really is. Do you think its just losing weight? Wrong. You could lose 30 or even 40 pounds in a month, but that would be no victory. It would...

Update - I have found something new and amazing

 Those of you who follow my blog know that I have been fighting with my weight for many years, pretty much since I was a child until late 2017 when I finally started to win. I have summarized all the most important findings in this blog post , if you have not read it already, I strongly suggest that you do. I have always said that I'm not "on diet", my goal never was to lose x pounds and say hooray I won. no I always knew that need permanent lifestyle change and I think now, more than 4 yours since my initial success I can say it works. As you know, I have lost 50 pounds and I was quite happy about my weight. During those 4 years I have few times gained some back, but it was never more than 10 pounds. Well, I never really reached what I considered my ideal weight and that would be -80 pounds of my weight before I started all this. I was happy with 50 pounds I lost, extremely happy, but it was not where I (and doctors) think my ideal weight should be. It was like there was...
