I don’t believe in any one diet. I believe that each person has to find a way of eating that works best for them and their lifestyle.
Yes, the “easy” way to lose weight is through calorie restriction. It’s not necessarily the healthiest though.
The healthiest is to listen to your body, to eat foods as close to [...]

I have just finished off a delicious piece of cinnamon mochi with butter and have prepped a bowl of muesli that I’m about to pop in the oven to make some granola for tomorrow. While the muesli/granola is baking I’ll prep the veggies for spaghetti sauce for tonight’s dinner. Yum! I really should write down [...]

I’ve relied heavily on the following sources:
- Thrive Diet by Brendan Brazier
- the “How it all Vegan” series by Sarah Kramer & [...]
