Most people cover acorn squash in brown sugar and push it to the side of the plate. I made it the foundation of the entire meal. That little sweetness underneath the seasoned Angus beef, peppers, aged cheddar and salsa did exactly what I thought it would do. Some ingredients aren’t boring.

Nobody could’ve convinced me I couldn’t afford to eat healthy. I was already spending the money. I was just spending it on the wrong stuff. DoorDash. Restaurant markups. Delivery fees. Service fees. Tips. Then turning around a few hours later looking for something ELSE to eat. Mean

The dangerous thing about “later” is that it feels like you have plenty of it. You think you have time. Next Monday. Next month. After the holidays. When life slows down. When you feel more motivated. Meanwhile, your life is still moving. That’s how years disappear. Not because y

OMAD over here looks a little different. I don’t spend 23hrs waiting to finally eat something I don’t enjoy. When my window opens, I’m going to EAT. Real, seasoned food. Food I actually enjoy. And when I’m satisfied? I’m done. One meal doesn’t have to look like punishment. #

One pan...Whole catfish + green beans + cinnamon roasted carrots. Season it. Put it in the oven. Go do something else. Healthy eating doesn’t have to turn into an all-day kitchen project. Sometimes the oven can do the work. 400° | About 40 minutes That’s dinner. #foodie #Lem

Some of you are WAY too trusting. 😂 You’ll grab an apple out of somebody’s fruit bowl and bite right into it like you personally watched it come off the tree. Couldn’t be me. I don’t know who picked it, packed it, shipped it, stocked it, or how many hands touched it before I got there.

I spent years thinking eating less meant being hungry. I had that completely backwards. What changed everything for me wasn’t learning how to eat tiny portions. It was learning how to stop eating all day long. I can sit down, enjoy a real meal, eat until I’m satisfied and move on with m

Another trip through the Asian market, another whole food came home with me. Kabocha squash Aka Japanese Squash And YES, you can eat the skin. Once it’s roasted, it gets soft and delicious, so don’t automatically peel it off. Olive oil. (The good kind) Cinnamon. A little raw honey toward

I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and think…“How did I let myself get here?” I also know what it feels like to believe you’ve got too much weight to lose. I was wrong. One decision didn’t get me to 233lbs. Repeated decisions did. And one decision didn’t get me back to 1

One thing I love doing is walking through international markets. Not because I’m looking for anything specific… I’m looking for something new. That’s how I found bottle gourd. Curiosity introduced me to a vegetable that’s now staying in my kitchen. Don’t limit your plate to only what

The truth is… I made better choices more often than I made excuses. I stopped filling my cart with ultra-processed foods and started buying more foods that grow out of the ground or had a heartbeat. 92lbs later… I’m still making those same choices. The food on your plate today is hel

Y'all wanted the recipe so here it is. 👇🏾 🐟 Fresh Bream aka Brim Cut a few slits into the fish so the seasoning gets down into the meat. Rinse it one more time then pat it completely dry. Don't skip this..a dry surface helps the mustard and seasoning stick better. Lightly coa

People see the plate. I see answered prayers. I remember the woman who felt trapped by food. I remember the excuses. I remember starting over every Monday. By God’s grace, that’s not my story anymore. All glory to God 🙌🏾 #freedom #transformation #trendingnow #Lemon8 #lemo

Everybody says healthy eating is expensive. I disagree. This haul was under $30 and will feed me for nearly two weeks. The truth is, whole foods don’t have to break your budget. You don’t have to buy everything organic. You don’t need fancy “health” products. Start with vegetables

The biggest mistake people make is trying to copy someone else’s portions instead of understanding the principles. My plate was built for my body, my activity level, and my goals. I average 30,000 to 40,000 steps a day. I lift weights. I eat one meal a day. That doesn’t mean your pla

Most people focus on breaking the habit. Very few people ask why the habit exists in the first place. If you don’t heal what’s driving the behavior, you’ll just replace one coping mechanism with another. Food. Alcohol. Shopping. Scrolling. Work. Anything can become an escape. The g

I ate one meal a day. Not five. Not six. Not every couple of hours. One. People still think I lost 93 pounds because I ate less. No. I lost it because I stopped eating all day. I wasn’t starving. I was overeating for years. I started eating whole foods. I started wa

Nobody wants to admit it. I didn’t either. I wasn’t eating because my body needed food. I was eating because that’s what I had trained myself to do. Breakfast. Snack. Lunch. Another snack. Something sweet. Dinner. More snacks. I convinced myself I was hungry. Loo

Everybody wants to know the secret to consistency. Here it is. I don’t wait until I’m hungry to decide what I’m going to eat. By then, you’re tired, busy, and convenience starts sounding real good. I shop before I need food. I stock my refrigerator with Whole Foods. I know what I’

I was carrying around another grown person on my frame every single day. Then one day I got tired of making excuses. I stopped eating all day. I started eating one real meal made from whole foods. Meat. Vegetables. Healthy fats. Complex carbs. Then I walked. Not because I
