Exercise for Fibroids & PCOS: Training for Your Hormones

Let’s be honest, trying to “get fit” when you have fibroids or PCOS can feel like carrying a brick in your stomach while the whole world shouts, “Just try harder.”
You’re tired but you push. You finally work out, and instead of feeling strong, you feel bloated, crampy, moody, and defeated. Someone tells you to “go harder,” but they don’t know what it feels like when your hormones feel like they’re fighting you from inside your own skin.
It’s frustrating. And sometimes you question your own body like, “Why can’t I...
How to Lose Weight Without Quitting Bread (Even Agege Bread)

You’re not “addicted to food.” You’re exhausted. The only quiet you get all day is that first bite of hot Agege bread with butter. And every plan that “works” tells you to cut it out, so you white-knuckle for 3 days, snap on day 4, and feel like you failed. You didn’t fail. The plan did.
The problem why you’re stuck
You’re trying to lose weight with restriction, not strategy. Bread alone spikes hunger later, so you end up grazing all night. Portion sizes creep because you’re starving between meals. Weekdays are chaotic; you grab...
How to Eat Fried Plantain and Lose Fat: The Dodo Guide

You’re not overeating because you “lack discipline.” You’re tired. You finally sit down and the kitchen whispers, “Fry small dodo.” Ten minutes later the plate is empty, the oil looks guilty, and you promise to “start again Monday.” You don’t need another Monday. You need a plan that lets you keep the dodo.
The problem — why you’re stuck
Dodo = oil trap. Plantain is a sponge; a small pan-fry can drink 2–4 tablespoons of oil (that’s 240–480 kcal you never counted). Ripeness matters. Very ripe (black-spotted) plantain hits sweeter, spikes hunger later,...
7 Nigerian Soups Ranked for Fat Loss: Eat Well & Lose Weight

You’re not “greedy.” You’re tired. You want to eat with your family, not nibble lettuce while everyone is tearing swallow and soup. You’ve tried quitting Nigerian food and still ended up raiding the pot at 11 p.m. You don’t need exile—you need a strategy that works with your culture.
The problem – why you’re stuck
You’re counting swallow but ignoring the oil hiding in the soup. You pick soup by taste, not by energy density (oil and seed-heavy soups are sneaky). Plates are carb-only: big eba, little protein, almost no veggies → crash hunger...
Weight Loss: Stop Importing Foreign Diet Plans

Don’t copy prescriptions, Extract principles!
You scroll past a fit-fluencer in a spotless kitchen weighing blueberries on a marble scale. Meanwhile, NEPA just blinked, your danfo ride was a boxing match, and the only thing in the office canteen is rice, stew, and dodo. You’re not lazy; your environment is different. And a lot of weight-loss advice assumes you live in a fridge-and-salad-bar world. You don’t. Let’s stop importing stress and start using what actually works here.
The problem, why “foreign” plans keep failing
Protein fantasy: “Just eat Greek yogurt and turkey slices.”...
Why You Can’t Out-Train a Nigerian Diet (And How to Fix It)

Let’s be honest, how many times have you killed yourself at the gym, dripping sweat, heart pounding, only to “reward” yourself later with a mountain of jollof rice, fried plantain, and suya? By the next morning, the scale mocks you. You feel like nothing changed. It’s frustrating. You think, “But I worked out so hard! Shouldn’t I have burned it all off?”
Problem: Why You’re Stuck
Here’s the trap: Most Nigerians underestimate calories. We don’t think of our foods in numbers—we think in vibes and tradition. A plate of eba with egusi...
