For most of my life, stuffing was a once-a-year food. It was something I only ate at Thanksgiving, and I’d load up my plate because I knew I wouldn’t have it again for another 365 days. It felt like a guilty pleasure, a comfort food that was totally off-limits if you...

I have a confession to make. Before I started my fitness journey, my idea of a balanced meal was a frozen pizza with a side of more frozen pizza. But there was one dish that always felt like a real, home-cooked indulgence: chicken enchiladas. They were my ultimate...

Pumpkin bread used to be one of my seasonal downfalls. I’d grab a slice from a coffee shop, thinking it was a reasonably healthy choice. It’s got a vegetable in it, right? But that single slice was loaded with sugar and oil, leading to an energy crash an hour later...

I used to hate brussel sprouts. For most of my childhood, they were a mushy, bitter punishment on a plate. It wasn’t until I started my own fitness journey, long before ADHD FIT was even a thought, that I gave them a second chance. I was desperate for vegetables...

Taco soup has been a constant in my life, but its role has changed dramatically. Back in my heavier days, it was a comfort food loaded with sour cream, cheese, and a mountain of tortilla chips. It was delicious, but it was part of the problem. It was a dopamine hit...

Mexican food has always been my ultimate comfort food. Growing up, a trip to our local spot meant cheesy enchiladas, sizzling fajitas, and heaping sides of that bright orange, savory rice. It was pure joy on a plate. But when I started my fitness journey and got...

For the longest time, my fat loss journey felt like a repeating cycle of chicken breast, broccoli, and brown rice. It worked, but my ADHD brain craved novelty. I was bored, and boredom is the enemy of consistency. I stumbled upon pork tenderloin at the grocery store...
