|Why you should never justify your "no" 🙅🏽‍♀️

Do you find that you do so well with your healthy eating all week but always fall for "just one drink" on Friday that ends up being a boozy weekend?

Then this is for you 👇🏽

When you know you are intentionally restricting your alcohol intake for health & weightloss reasons, good on you babes 🥳

But never feel the need to justify yourself to anyone‼️

Everyone is entitled to their own journeys, their own opinions & own decisions

So never let your friends or colleagues decisions impact your own, or feel the need to justify why your own decisions are now different from what used to be the norm

The moment you anticipate having to justify yourself, you'll most probably find it easier to "go with the flow"... Then 1 glass becomes 1 bottle, and then you know how the story goes 😔

Instead, if you approach your health & weightloss decisions as just that - your own personal decision - then your "no" needs no further explaining 💃🏾

Besides, we're all adults here. Just say what you mean & mean what you say.

They'll eventually get it, trust me 😀

Besides, there's more enjoyment in life than drinks... & I'll cheers to that 🥂

|Not today, not ever 🙋🏾‍♀️

And if you ever forget that, save this post & come back to it later

Say to yourself:
🗣️ My journey is my own & is unique to me
🗣️ I'm enjoying being in my lane & there's no one else in my lane except me
🗣️ It was never a competition to start with. It was a decision to change my life & my health for good

Then celebrate yourself & let it be 🎉

You're doing excellent babes, keep it up ❤️

|Want to enjoy a variety of plantbased meals whilst traveling? 🚙

There are only 3 keys to make this work for you in the simplest way possible:

🗝 Keep breakfast repeatable
👉🏽 Oats is easy to create a variety of breakfasts with, using different fruit every morning

🗝 Chop a variety of raw veggies as a base for lunch & supper
👉🏽 Always try to eat the rainbow. Feel free to add easy-to-cook veggies (like mixed veg) or pickled veggies (like beets)

🗝 Use different starches for different meals
👉🏽 Something easy to cook (like pasta or couscous) or something ready-made in advance (like breyani that's packed with lentils & spiced to perfection)

🤸🏾‍♀️ Then it's simply a game of mix-and-match!

Having full control of your meals whilst you travel is a sure way of achieving weightloss progress

🤗 Let me know if you have any ideas of your own to make food simple & enjoyable on your travels

|Someone's gonna have to say this so it's gonna be me 👇🏽

💡 Real food is the answer to 99% of your weightloss struggles!

But most people ask all the wrong questions when wanting to achieve weightloss:

❌ How many calories do I need to eat?
❌ How big should my portions be?
❌ How much exercise must I do?

The only question you should be asking is:

❓ Which food is naturally made for good health & weightloss? (cause you want both, right?)

The answer to that is simple:

Food that comes from this plant 🌱, and not this plant 🏭.

👍🏽The more plantbased foods you eat

👎🏽The less you'll be worried about calories, portion sizes, exercise for weightloss, meal replacements, eating according to the clock & all the other tricks in the book!

Keep it simple babes & enjoy every bite! 😍

|Are you complicating weightloss? 🤨

Nothing is more frustrating than wondering why all your efforts to go hard in the gym, intermittent fast & portion control are all not working 😭

You're complicating a simple process

🚫 eating mainly calorie rich foods whilst trying to lose weight = working backwards
🚫 regardless of how much you try to control your portions & over exercise, the fat content in this food is very high
🚫 & fat tends to store as fat in your body

Instead, you should

👉🏽 eat more food, not less
👉🏽 eat calorie dilute food, not rich
👉🏽 eat for long-term health, not short-term gain

You have 💯% control of your weight if you know the foods that will quickly help you get there & stay there without going hungry

🧑🏻‍⚕️As Dr Jeff Novick says, "cut the c.r.a.p."

It's that simple.

🍰 Whether you choose to cut it significantly or all together during your weightloss phase is completely up to you

😝 The fact remains: the more time & space you give your tastebuds to reset without the c.r.a.p., the less of it you'll desire after you've reached your ideal weight

|Sometimes it's not what we eat, but what we drink 🍵

We tend to focus a lot on the calories in our food, and almost forget that drinks also have calories... Sometimes a little too many!

So making these small swaps in winter can help you stay warm & hydrated for much fewer calories

But if you're not into tea generally, you can:

☕ Use milk instead of creamers
☕ Skip the fancy toppings, or
☕ Try flavored teas - there are plenty out there!

Are you a coffee ☕ or tea 🍵 lover?

|Plantbased foods are not expensive, your preference is 💰

Do you want to live a more plantbased lifestyle but find it "so expensive"?

You're probably equating your plantbased shopping to

💥 strictly organic outlets
💥 boutique health stores, or
💥 high-end, branded supermarkets.

In that case, it's your taste, your preference, your mindset that is expensive💲

But it's definitely not the food 🥦

Next time you go shopping for fruits, veggies, beans & legumes or a variety of grains, try out these places

👉🏽 (their prices are generally very affordable but they have insane specials like today - peep my stories to see my grocery haul 👀)

👉🏽 local Asian supermarkets (they have the widest variety of affordable Asian foods like tofu, edemame beans, sauerkraut, seaweed, rice paper, various kinds of rice & noodles, all the soy sauces & other condiments you probably didn't know exist)

👉🏽 fruit & veggie street vendors (my absolute fav cause they're accessible & offer all your basic needs at a fraction of the cost)

Where are you currently buying the bulk of your plantbased groceries? 🛒 I'm curious to know 😊

|Here's why eating "vegan food" causes weight gain 😳

I fell for the "vegan = automatic weightloss" trend myself when I first shifted to a plantbased lifestyle

🤭 Cause I thought vegan food has magic calories

💡 But before we get into that, always remember the labels mean absolutely nothing for weightloss

🔖 Whether it's labeled "healthy", "vegan", "plantbased", "low fat" or "zero calories" doesn't matter if it's not getting you into a calorie deficit

For example:

👉🏽 cream is cream, whether it's dairy 🥛 or coconut 🥥 cream, it's very rich with fats & is not weightloss friendly

👉🏽 crisps are crisps, whether it's a non-vegan Lays bag or a vegan Doritos packet, they're all packed with calories

👉🏽 cheese is cheese, whether it's dairy-based 🧀 or nut-based 🌰, it's still calorie rich

👙 So if it's weightloss you're after, you only need to ask yourself one question when choosing the food you'll eat:

❓Is it low in calorie density?

And the easiest way to figure that out is by asking:

Is it made from a plant 🌱 or is it made in a plant 🏭?

This is the plant you wanna eat more of! 🌱

|The worst weightloss strategy in the world 🌍

I've fallen for this one before so I'm sure you've experienced it too...

Convincing yourself that you needed to do any of these things before you can start your weightloss journey:

❌ "Wait until you're mentally ready"
❌ "Just get the basics right first"
❌ "Work on your mindset, then start"

This is the perfect recipe for failure - cause you achieve NOTHING by waiting 💣

So beware of your mind playing tricks on you when you know you want to get started babes 😏

Instead
✅ Start messy
✅ Start small
✅ Rinse & repeat!

Remember: You'll never regret starting sooner 😊

Psst, don't forget to share slide 9 to your stories & tag me to let me know you're part of the squad 😉

|Something I've realized about food that I love 😍

When I started losing weight by eating plantbased, this clicked for me 👇🏽

It's not enough for me to eat foods that "I just love", without knowing whether they love me back 😳

It's like being with someone that "I just love", without questioning whether they love me back 🤯

So I'm all for reciprocal food relationships now 🙋🏾‍♀️

I want to primarily eat foods that
⚡energize me
🥔 satiate me
🍓 nourish me
💩 cleanse me
👙 & shed excess weight!

If it's not then boy bye! 👋🏽

Double tap if you're with me ❤️
