Guilt Free Buckwheat Cookies
Buckwheat Cinnamon Cookie and Fruit Salad Recipe
I can see my cheekbones after gaining over 20lbs this last winter. Three years ago I lost 55lbs on an 800 calorie diet from May of 2015 to September of 2015. The last two months I've lost almost 20lbs. I weight around 147lbs; my goal weight is 135lbs. I eat two meals a day, one meal in the morning and one meal around 430pm. I walk 4 miles a day and do Yantra yoga three times a week. I'm thinking about adding two more days and more moves to my yoga routine rather than weight lifting, thanks to @frankbacon's suggestion. Also, I am taking naps and not working as hard on Steemit articles thanks to @builderofcastles suggestion I need to take time off and rest. He thought I caught the flu because I needed a break. I thought about this for a couple days, and I agree with him.

Mix ingredients together and garnish with Buckwheat cookies
Recipe For Cinnamon cookies
Mix flour with 1/4 cup of sugar and salt. Add hot water 1/4 cup at a time and mix until you have the dough that sticks together and can be kneaded without sticking to your hands.
Knead like bread dough for 10 minutes. Buckwheat doesn't have gluten like wheat. It will not stretch but adding hot water makes the flour pliable. Roll out dough between two sheets of baking parchment paper until an even 1/2 inch thick. The thinner you roll out the dough the crisper the cookies will become when baking. Move dough with parchment paper to cookie sheet. Cut into squares and bake in a pre-heated 450-degree oven for 15 minutes. Before baking mix remaining sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over unbaked dough. The cookies will be chewy but not crispy, the dough tends to be tough if baked any longer than 15 minutes.
Move cookies to a cooling tray. I usually double up my cookie recipe and prepare 3 cookie sheets before baking.
1 cup of cookies or 8 ounces equals 160 calories. Buckwheat has a strong nutty flavor and homemade goods with little sugar taste vastly different than store bought products made with the same ingredients. I do not add chemicals to enhance flavor, I add a little salt that is all.

@reddust,
My dear friend, you made a great success so far! But I think it's better drop your weight to your dream level slowly. Hope you also concern about gastritis and few other side impacts when you eat less a day! And also would like to see you at least twice a week here too!
Cheers~
55lbs weight loss is impressive, I'm new here, can you give me some tips to lose belly weight :p My belly is kept increasing day by day :p how you calculate Calories of each item? This dish is mouthwatering, Can you share it with me? ;)
@abdulmanana, if you drink sweet drinks or alcoholic drinks, cut them all out, if you eat high carbohydrate foods with a lot of sugar, like baked goods or fast foods, that includes chips, cookies, fries cut them out of your diet. Eat more veggies and fruit. Eat moderate amount of complex carbohydrates like root crops, rice, and whole grains. The smallest portion on your plate should be starchy foods and meat.
I also do intermittent fasting, for men and women eating correctly proportioned whole foods between a 6-hour window works well. Women have a harder time losing fat because we have less muscle mass and our hormonal system is different than men, which have an easier time; usually, belly fat melts off if you watch your portion size, cut out sugar, refined grains, and alcohol. Eat whole foods, moderate exercise, and count your calories. You can find the proper amount of calories your body needs if you do a little research online.
We missed you. We are accustomed to reading beautiful and quality articles. I hope you start a healthy day. The recipes you write are great. Good ideas for healthy living. Welcome again. @reddust
To tell you the truth @turkishcrew, my time here on steemit has almost reached 2 years, and I need a vacation! It takes a lot of work writing those quality posts, I need to recharge a little bit, plus it is the world cup for soccer, my husband and I have been enjoying the games and taking a short break from research and writing. We will be back to work this Friday (I think)...hahaha
I love my midday naps!
Oh man! the cinnamon cookies............. somehow I haven't eaten them or something like them for a while. I love them.
Although I miss your posts a lot but its really great to see you doing better and reaching your health goals. Also really glad that you post from time to time and share the details.
@hashcash, I don't miss posting at all, I was reaching the burnout line. I don't want to burn out, and I want to enjoy my experience here on @steemit, plus I love you all, so I want to continue loving you all with the right attitude...
This type of post is the hardest for me to share, I don't like sharing things this personal. But I know how the world is suffering from obesity, this is my way of helping myself and other people that struggle with eating habits and weight.
I made up the recipe, and I grind my own buckwheat groats for flour.
Yeah its definitely a good strategy to pace oneself here in Steemit. I'd love nothing more than to see your Steemit career prosper and share the journey for a long time with you guys.
Thanks for sharing these posts despite them being difficult for you. Every bit counts and we never know how much these acts can positively effect the lives of others.
Aww man I wanted to see the cookies!. Salad looks so delicious. Your skin looks radiant. Wow. Health is wealth.
Thanks for sharing.

Very good that u have loose u r weight 55 lbs after taking a diet which may stable u r body & as well u r health.Good article for heath care takers,they should apply.
Thank you @drkuldigmengi, the pleasure of endulgence is fleeting and the pain last so much longer. I loath losing weight, the pain of an 800 calorie diet is not worth the fleeting pleasure that cookies give me.
Its very good advice for women like me. I put up lot of wait and its effect on my health. I already started work out and yoga but when the talk about to maintain diet I always be lazy to doing it...
buena dieta
Walking 4 miles a day and doing yoga. I'm proud of you. The cookies sound tasty thank you for sharing. @reddust
