You step on the scale Monday morning—down two pounds. Victory dance(kukere). By Thursday?

Suddenly you’re spiraling: “What’s the point if my body just plays games with me?” You feel defeated, frustrated, and ready to quit.
Problem: Why You’re StuckThe biggest trap isn’t the weight—it’s your expectations. Somewhere along the line, we believed weight loss was supposed to be a neat straight line, like watching numbers drop on a countdown clock. In reality, your body is...

Tell me why every party you attend feels like a mini food war. Rice piled higher than your head. Meat enough to start a butchery. Aunties side-eyeing you if you dare say, “No, I’m full.” And heaven help you if you leave food on the plate, it’s automatically labeled as disrespect. Deep down, you’re stuffed, sluggish, and bloated, but the pressure to keep eating never stops.
Problem: Why You’re StuckThe truth? We’ve normalized overfeeding as love. In Nigerian culture, food equals care, status, and abundance. A mother won’t rest until you’ve...

Be honest, how many times have you stepped on the scale, seen the number drop, and thought, “Finally, it’s working!” … only to notice in the mirror that your belly still feels soft, your arms still jiggle, and those “goal jeans” still won’t zip up? That’s the gut punch. You’re losing weight, but your body doesn’t look or feel any different. And worse, the second you eat one slice of bread, the number jumps right back up.

You’ve downloaded six meal plans this year.
One from your gym guy. One from your cousin’s coach.
Two from Instagram. One from a Facebook group.
And that free one from a YouTuber with abs like granite.
They all looked promising.
You followed it for 3 days.
Maybe 5.
Then came life.
No gas. No groceries. No motivation.
You missed a meal. Felt bad.
Then said, “I’ve already messed up. Might as well just eat.”
Back to square one. Again.
Sound familiar?
THE PROBLEM:
Here’s the unfiltered truth:
Meal plans are short-term bandaids for a long-term war.
They don’t teach you...

You wore your “goal dress.”
It barely zipped. But you made it work.
You promised yourself, just small chops, nothing crazy.
Then the waiter came with jollof.
The second round came with pounded yam.
By the time you were doing zanku to “Who’s Your Guy,” you’d had Fanta, small chops, goat meat, cake, ice cream… and regret.
You smiled in the photos.
But you left that wedding bloated, guilty, and back at square one.
Again.
THE PROBLEM:Nigerian weddings are designed to make you forget your goals.
Let’s be honest:
You arrive hungry because you didn’t want to “eat twice.” The food...
