I have been a professional chef for 20+ years and most recently transitioned into a role as Director of Operations for a growing donut concept.\u00a0 I enjoy being outdoors, doing work, and cooking!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I changed my eating habits after the birth of my son<\/strong>. I had a new medical diagnosis of epilepsy that highly recommended eating small frequent meals, lower carb, and veg-focused. I saw great success with this method. I lost 38 pounds in just over a year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>And then&#8230; Covid<\/strong>. And I feel that&#8217;s a story so many relate to. I didn&#8217;t change my eating habits, I was still following the same rules &#8211; veg-focused, lean protein options, etc. But my stress level changed drastically. I didn&#8217;t work out often as I could never figure out how much to eat when I did work out and usually gained weight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Over 15 months I gained 10 pounds and I was VERY frustrated I kept losing the same 2 to 4 pounds over and over.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 2022 I decided to work out just for health reasons and not for the &#8220;weight loss&#8221; that may come but hoping I could improve my muscle tone, figuring it was the only option I hadn&#8217;t exhausted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>After 6 months I did lose a few inches but the weight was just stuck, and how frustrating is it when you just feel like you are doing everything right, to get little results.<\/strong> It was suggested to eat more protein, but no one suggested how much or when. I researched and it was all macro tracking that seemed too intimidating due to my already chaotic schedule. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Then, life changed when I took a job in a donut company<\/strong>. I no longer had access to endless food options. I had access to endless sugary options, which have never been attractive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40050\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-pid=\"40050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k--600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cleanfoodcrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/After-family-5k-.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I found myself craving sugar at 2 pm, I was surrounded by cases of gourmet donuts<\/strong>.

I didn&#8217;t give myself the grace to really pre-read the material, but it wasn&#8217;t abnormal for me to eat this way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I slid through the first week easily. I did get the scale to move, but then, it happened. I plateaued again and again through weeks 2 and 3<\/strong>. The difference here was I was eating way more food, and, way more protein than I was accustomed to. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I grew frustrated. But I was determined to at least complete the 30 days. I&#8217;m glad I did.<\/strong> Because after the first 30 days I lost 4.2 pounds. While that may not seem like a big deal, it&#8217;s the world to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>I broke out beyond the plateau I was in. <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I was envious of the &#8220;huge&#8221; losses others were seeing<\/strong>. In the first month, no inches were lost either. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>But then I realized something. This is my journey.<\/strong> This is not a comparison. I already went through a huge weight loss over the past 4 years by changing my eating habits. I was trying to hit that low weight from pre-covid again, and nothing had worked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>That mindset shift changed during the second 30 Days<\/strong>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had committed to do this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cleanfoodlove.com\/challenge\/\">Challenge<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I decided I need to know if I broke my plateau, was it luck or was it actual weight loss? There was only one way to find out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Besides, I loved the recipes! It truly is amazing to have recipes that have been tested behind the scenes.<\/strong> As a former chef, I&#8217;ve written and tested hundreds of my own. Actual effort was put into these, and I was enjoying new flavor combinations I hadn&#8217;t thought of on my own. My favorite recipes are endless on CFC. I&#8217;ve enjoyed all but 1, and the one I didn&#8217;t love was still edible just not as amazing as the others. I would highly suggest starting with the pumpkin chili, the pesto, and creamy garlic dressing, and all are followed by the coffee-rubbed pot roast with figs!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Enter August, month two. <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>It&#8217;s the night before the official start of the second month. My husband chimes in and decides he too wants in.<\/strong> Now, most people would be thrilled their spouse is joining. Let me explain&#8230; I am type A. I love to have a plan, be in control. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I was annoyed because he sprung this on me with no time to shop for him.<\/strong>\u00a0 I was a veteran Chef, cooking comes easy, and planning on my terms is easy. I am easy. I eat everything. Him, not so much. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The list of his &#8220;do not eats&#8221; is far longer by miles than what he would actually eat.<\/strong> No seafood, no protein on bones, no fatty proteins (I eat ribeye, he eats filet), his idea of consuming vegetables was eating a Caprese salad, he doesn&#8217;t eat any dips or dressings, no onions, no mushrooms this list is long. His idea of eating a protein-focused meal was largely eating cheese for protein. Honestly, we could not be any more opposite in terms of our eating habits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>It actually became a pain point when I cleaned up my eating 4 years early.<\/strong> I stopped preparing our meals, and prepared mine and the kids. He was on his own because it was just too frustrating to accommodate him, and when I did he would eat a portion, leaving me with leftovers for days. Oh, and somehow over the covid period, he developed an egg allergy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>My husband would go on to become a joy to post about.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has his own hashtag in the group <strong>#pickyhusband<\/strong>, but doesn&#8217;t know it.
