hey Reader, My father-in-law walks in, sees my plate, and goes: "Excellent breakfast. I've been eating a lot of peanut butter lately too. Great source of protein." He said it with such confidence. And the funny thing is — he’s someone who genuinely cares about his health and pays attention to what he eats. Which made me realize something: this isn’t about people being careless with nutrition. It’s about how confusing food marketing has become. For years the food industry has been quietly slapping the word “protein” on everything. Here's a simple test I use with all my clients: take the grams of protein in one serving and multiply by 10. If that number is equal to or greater than the total calories, it's a real protein source. If not, it's something else dressed up as protein. A tablespoon of peanut butter? 3g × 10 = 30. Calories: 100. That's a healthy fat source — a great one, but fat nonetheless. Most South Asian staples we grew up eating fall into the same trap. Daal, lentils, roti — genuinely good and nutritious food, but they're not doing the protein heavy lifting we think they are. This is exactly why so many women I work with are eating "healthy" and still not seeing results. Nobody ever actually explained this to them clearly. If you want to know what your protein picture actually looks like, hit reply and just say "protein" — I'll take it from there. |

Reader, I've got some tea for you... Something happened last week that I’m still thinking about. I applied to be a vendor at a local wellness event. Something I was genuinely excited about — the kind of room full of women who are exactly who I built SZN for. I got rejected. The reason? My messaging was “too focused on fat loss.” I sat with that for a minute. Because on one hand, I get it. The wellness industry right now is in this weird moment where fat loss has become almost a dirty phrase —...
hey Reader! My business coach challenged me to talk to 5 women this week for free — so here we are lol 🤪 I had a conversation recently with a client who thought being in a calorie deficit meant cutting the already small amount of carbs she was eating. She was at 1,200 calories a day, going to the gym 6x a week, replacing dinners with a green smoothie, and could not figure out why she was exhausted and the scale wouldn't move. I told her I'd actually start her at 1,800 calories for fat loss...
Hey Reader, I used to stand in my kitchen at 6pm, staring into the fridge like it owed me something. Now I don't. And it's not because I meal prepped 47 containers on Sunday like a fitness influencer. It's because I removed the thinking entirely. Here's my lazy girl system: Carbs — I don't want to cook them or portion them. Rice cakes, store bought roti/phulka, frozen Stonefire mini naans, grain bread. Already portioned. Zero decisions. Maybeeee I'll make a pot of rice sometimes. Veg — I make...
