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

I put my whole foot and my bad knee in these ribs. 😂 Before somebody says something about the foil… Save it. They came out tender, juicy, and better than one of my favorite BBQ spots. I don’t cook to impress the internet. I cook food I actually want to eat. And yes… I went back

I eat one meal a day. Not because I have to. Because I want to. When it’s finally time to eat… I’m not picking at a salad. I’m sitting down to a real meal. Four beef ribs. Broccoli. Sweet potato. Over 30,000+ steps today. Now it’s time to enjoy my feast. #transform

Today wasn’t about making a pretty plate. It was about using what I already had. Turkey necks from the crockpot. The last half of a cabbage. A little broccoli. Some carrots. That’s one thing about my house… There’s always gonna be enough real food in here to throw a meal togeth

Half the year is gone. Did you become the person you promised yourself you’d become? Or did life happen… Again. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday, every month, every New Year, maybe it’s time to stop chasing another diet and start building a lifestyle you can actually live.

If Whole Foods is boring… Keep me bored. Wings. Sweet potato. Cabbage steaks. Crispy okra. My one meal for the day. Exactly how I like it. #transformation #mealideas #lemon8

STOP telling me to leave chicken alone. I’ve heard it all. "Chicken is bad." “Eat this instead. “Don’t eat that.” Meanwhile… Chicken helped me lose 93lbs from chicken breast to wings at el. Chicken helped me build muscle. Chicken helped me become the healthiest versi

Don’t let fear undo the healthy habits you’ve worked so hard to build. Wash your produce. Cook it when appropriate. Keep eating your whole foods. The answer isn’t to run back to processed food because the internet is panicking. I’ve come too far to turn around now… and I hope you have to

The healthiest habit I ever stacked had nothing to do with supplements or some morning routine. I put my whole OMAD meal in the oven… Then I use that cooking time to get my walk in. By the time I’m done walking, my meal is basically done too. That’s 40 minutes I didn’t spend standing in
