The Nigerian Woman guide to losing weight without losing your favourite food
If you've ever stared at a foreign weight loss plan filled with foods you’re not conversant with, like quinoa, kale
smoothies, and gym memberships you can't afford, and thought "this was not
written for me" you were right. It wasn't.
If you have ever thought that losing weight is by starving, then this is for you.
Most weight loss content online was built around a life that doesn't look like
yours. It assumes you have a car to drive to a gym, a fridge stocked with
imported vegetables, and no aunty asking why your portion of food is so small
at an owambe.
This guide was written differently for the Nigerian woman balancing work, family, faith, budget, and culture, who still wants to feel strong,confident, and comfortable in her body.
Here is the truth this entire guide is built on: you do not need to abandon jollof
rice, egusi, amala, or moi-moi to lose weight. What actually moves the number
on the scale and more importantly, how your clothes fit and how you feel in
your skin comes down to a small set of things and that is, how much you eat, what you eat
most often, how it's prepared, how much you move, and how consistent you
are over months, not days.
This book will not ask you to starve, skip meals, or drink strange concoctions
promising a flat tummy in seven days. Instead, you'll get a clear, honest,
step-by-step system built around the food you already eat, the budget you
already have, and a lifestyle that doesn't require a personal trainer.
