PROGRESS UPDATE

Hi everyone, sorry I have been missing for quite a while. Actually, I have been doing something really good and that is living low carb since last September and operating an instagram account @lowcarbrecipeideas. It's available now in facebook too with the same name.

Now you all know that I have been struggling with weight issues my whole life. And ever since I had my total knee replacement, I did a lot of research and found out that the cause of arthritis is sugar or carbs and I blogged extensively about it here. Then I decided to eat low carb but failed miserably over a period of 6 years. However, based on this experience, I do know that eating low carb works because when I am on it for several months, magical things happened - weight loss, blood sugar level reduction, acid reflux and stomach discomfort gone, less aches and pains, immune system improved and I feel so good. But once I relapsed, everything came back.

So since September 2017, I started my low carb journey again as I had a wake up call with my blood sugar level increasing to pre-diabetic level and I have gained so much weight. I am happy to report that its been a year now and I have lost 4 dress sizes naturally, blood sugar normalized, acid reflux and stomach discomfort gone, improved immune system and I feel good and more energetic. Why I have managed to go this far this time? It's because I discovered miracle rice and noodles which are zero carbs. They are made of konjac plant, hence, they are healthy with high fiber. They contain 97% water and 3% konjac powder. So I still get to enjoy all my favourite food such as curry laksa, fried rice, nasi lemak, pork noodles, fried kuey teow, pasta and much more just by substituting with these zero carb rice and noodles. Then I started an instagram account @lowcarbrecipeideas in March this year to share all my low carb recipes and keep myself accountable. Miraclenoodle in the U.S. discovered me using konjac rice and noodles in my recipes and offered me to become one of their ambassadors which I gladly accepted. All I have to do is just post recipes with miracle noodles. If you are interested to try these miracle rice and noodles, check out their instagram Miraclenoodle  and website at Miraclenoodle. You can use my 10% discount code ELSIE for purchase of miraclenoodle products. I have also started to conduct low carb cooking classes and share my experience. So do follow me on instagram or faceook @lowcarbrecipeideas for mouth watering low carb recipes.  

As far as my knees are concerned, I am happy to report that they are good, no problem whatsoever. I am so grateful to have had my bliateral total knee replacement in 2012 which allowed me to stay active, travel overseas for vacation, work and pursue my passion.
