A Practical Guide to Understanding Calories, Culture, and Balance in Everyday African Meals

There’s power in returning home to your roots, to your food.

After years of following diet fads and Western nutrition advice that never seemed to fit, Eat Like an African Woman was born, a heartfelt, practical guide that helps African women reconnect with their bodies through the foods they grew up with.

Written by Temilade Akinola, founder of TeeOasis Wellness, this book breaks down the calorie values of over 70 common African meals while celebrating the beauty, science, and spirituality behind traditional eating. It bridges modern nutrition with cultural wisdom, proving that our foods, such as yam, palm oil, eba, egusi, plantain, and moringa, are not enemies but allies in wellness.

🌿 Inside, you’ll discover:

• Calorie values for over 70 authentic African meals.
• Simple, realistic portion guidance for daily balance.
• Practical eating rules designed for hormonal and emotional well-being.
• Myth-busting facts about African foods the world misunderstands.
