233 lbs → 140 lbs | OMAD + Walking Whole foods only. Protein, vegetables, complex carbs. No processed junk. No rice, pasta, or bread. Water and electrolytes during the fast. Black coffee is fine — no additives with calories. Tea is fine — no additives with calories. 23:1. I fasted 23 hou

120g of Protein on One OMAD Plate 💪🏾 I forgot to take anything out to cook, so I made the best of what I had. Organic 93/7 ground turkey in lettuce boats. Crispy stovetop okra. A berry salad loaded with strawberries, blackberries, tomatoes, arugula, fermented pickles, and fresh lemon. One

The biggest misconception about OMAD is that we don't eat enough.. That's not how I do it. When it’s time for me to eat, I eat a REAL meal. Protein. Vegetables. Real food. My plate is supposed to be big because it’s my one meal for the day. The goal isn’t to eat tiny portio

How do you fix obesity? You stop overfeeding it. I know that’s not the answer people want to hear. People want a special tea. A pill, injection or workout. I wanted one too. But the truth is I reversed my obesity by stepping away from the plate. I stopped eating all day. I sto

I don't know what happened but somewhere in the last few weeks this cabbage became the star of every single plate I build. I can't stop. I won't stop. Roasted until the edges get a little crispy with garlic butter... it hits different every single time. If you haven't tried ca

Nobody told you that juice, grits, and toast was breaking your fast AND spiking your blood sugar before 9 AM. That spike triggers your pancreas to dump insulin. Insulin's job is to pull that sugar out of your blood fast. So it does. And when it does, your blood sugar crashes. Hard. That c

Bread was my weakness. Once I removed it, the difference was noticeable. Less bloating. Less inflammation. Fewer cravings. Better control. Now, that doesn’t mean everyone has to give up bread forever. We’re all different. But if you’re struggling with cravings, hunger, inflammatio

You don't have to walk 45,000 steps today. You just have to walk farther than you did yesterday. That's it. That's the whole secret. Walking will lower your blood pressure, help your blood sugar, clear your head, and keep your joints moving without beating your body up. N

Someone asked what sauce I use on my cabbage and how long I cook it. Funny enough, I’ve had oven roasted cabbage the last 3 days straight. 😂 Just like sweet potatoes, I could easily eat cabbage 4 days a week and never get tired of it. That’s the beauty of it. You can switch up the flavors

People see a plate like this and say, “That’s too much food.” Too much for who? This meal was around 1,500 calories and 100g of protein. Yesterday I walked 48,643 steps and burned over 2,000 calories. There is a strategy to this. I don’t starve myself. I don’t live on shakes. I don’t

I eat a big whole food plate on purpose. Protein, vegetables, complex carbs, fruit. Real food that gives my body what it needs so I can go another 23 hours strong. This is a lifestyle. Your OMAD should be nourishment with intention. #Lemon8 #Lemon8Diary #lemon8challenge #weightl

75g protein. One meal. 40,000 steps. This is what eating ENOUGH on OMAD actually looks like, not starving, not shrinking, fueling. I break down exactly what's on this plate, why the carbs are intentional today, and why small OMAD plates are doing more harm than good. Yes I read every labe

Over 40 and dealing with belly fat? This is the conversation nobody around you is willing to have. Where you start: whole foods. Daily walking. Strength training. Stop eating for a 22 year old body. And if you're doing intense cardio every day wondering why the belly fat won't move —

Most people hear whole foods and immediately think rabbit food and misery. That is not what this is. Whole foods are anything that grows out of the ground or had a heartbeat. That is it. No label with ingredients you can't pronounce. No box. No processing. Just real food seasoned rig

I was the hater in the room. The one scrolling your page looking for something wrong. The one who clicked up with other bitter women just like me so we didn't have to look at ourselves. I missed funerals. Weddings. Events that mattered. Because I could not walk in that room and be the bigges

Let them roll their eyes. Let them doubt. Let them sit in silence while you work. Stop waiting on the people closest to you to celebrate you. Strangers already see what they can't. That's not your loss, that's your sign.🙌🏾 Simply. Let. Them.... keep going.🏋‍♀️🚶‍♀️ #L

Ask and you shall receive. Here is the finished plate. Cabbage steak topped with sautéed peppers and onions drizzled with parmesan seafood sauce. Once you try it you will never look at cabbage the same way. 🥬 #Lemon8 #lemon8challenge #Lemon8Diary #lemon8food

I set out for 30k yesterday. Passed it. Then 40k came and I didn't stop. Then 50k showed up on the screen and I crossed it. 51,000 steps. A number I had never seen before in my life. I learned, the limits we set in our heads are not real. The moment I passed 30k I knew my body had more. S

Some of y’all are counting collagen toward your protein goal and wondering why the muscle isn’t muscle-ing We need to talk. #Lemon8 #lemon8challenge #Lemon8Diary #protein
