Today is the second day of my 90-day fat-loss and beautiful skin challenge, and also the last day of my 3-day fast.  The day started off shaky, literally, when I woke up at 02:00 and started throwing up. I don’t know what made me feel so sick. After fasting for two days, all that could come up was black coffee and bile.  I couldn’t go back to sleep and started watching YouTube videos and planning out my diet and workout […] The post What The Last Day Was Like of My 3-Day Fast appeared first on ..read more

Every few weeks or so, there comes a day where I absolutely can’t control my overeating. Only a masochist would want to count calories on a day like that. Then, a day later, still trapped in the guilt and self loathing that come post binge, I get other period symptoms, and it all makes sense. Your period and hunger go hand in hand. I don’t need to take responsibility for my actions, I can just blame the period munchies. Not completely, but […] The post Why You Get Period Cravings appeared first on ..read more

If you are looking for the best healthy desserts for weight loss, you will not find them in your standard sweets aisle at your local grocery store.  Before we get into the good stuff, let’s rephrase and focus on the desserts that will help you lose fat instead of weight, because weight is not an indicator of your health and doesn’t say much about your body composition. You could weigh 65 kg and have 10% body fat or 40% body […] The post 3 Tips for Choosing Desserts for Weight Loss appeared first on ..read more

I know this may not make sense at first, but you can eat dessert on a keto diet if you just know how! My journey with taking unhealthy recipes and trying to make them healthy started when I was a kid. Back then, I mainly started taking unhealthy recipes and making low-GI versions them by trying to replace the sugar or at least half of the sugar with fruit and I added digestive bran to just about everything. My smoothies […] The post How to Eat Dessert on a Keto Diet appeared first on ..read more

You could have quite a few reasons why you want to become healthier, but there is probably one that stands out. For me, my reasons why I choose to eat healthily include looking good, being able to wear certain types of clothes I could not before, longevity, and being able to have a baby. My biggest why used to be losing my excess fat and being lean, but it quickly switched to me getting clear skin when my acne went […] The post Find Your Why for Sticking to Your Healthy Lifestyle appeared first on ..read more

Most of us are stressed and form part of the general society. We are not celebrities who can afford private chefs or exercise for hours every day. We drop the kids off at school before work and have to pick them up after, and then help them with homework and cook for the family while somehow finding time to exercise. Or, even if you do not have kids, you are probably trying to finish your studies, working full-time, or doing […] The post Stop Saying You Don’t Have Time to Eat a Healthy Diet appeared first on ..read more

You are worth good chocolate. Do not settle for anything other than mindblowing.  I really think that part of why we self-sabotage our dietary efforts is because we do not feel like we are good enough, and we eat to keep us in the state we believe we belong in. I realised that I did not think I was good enough to have a great body and walk around in sexy clothing. I thought I was doomed to always be […] The post You Are Wonderful, so Don’t Settle for Crappy Food appeared first on ..read more

I did not go overboard on the healthy desserts this week, but I am trying to lose some stomach fat, and complete this step in my transformation journey, so that I can start to focus on other health goals, like becoming flexible and building muscle.  After analysing my own mind and behaviour recently after a week of eating more than I wanted to, I realised that part of the problem was that I did not plan properly. So, I sat […] The post How to Set Yourself Up for Diet Success (Includes Dessert) appeared first on ..read more

There is a sweet and indulgent solution to your diet and digestion woes. When imagining ways of improving your gut health, you probably only picture bowls filled with fibre-rich vegetables, jars filled with kimchi and sauerkraut, and people eating bran cereal and yoghurt while forgoing desserts.  When I think of improving my gut health, I see an opportunity to experiment in the kitchen and find a way to also do it while eating indulgent desserts daily in my diet. There […] The post Diet, Digestion, and Desserts: Improve Your Gut Health the Indulgent Way appeared first on ..read more

The most important rule of PCOS weight loss, for me, is to eat dessert after every meal. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) symptoms bring enough suffering already, and while the best way to start managing the condition is through changing your diet to one that is low in sugar and processed foods, it does not have to suck.  I love food, I want to be healthy, and I am not willing to compromise. You do not have to either. By putting […] The post Dessert After Every Meal: My PCOS Weight-Loss Diet appeared first on ..read more
