My test results showed that I was pre-diabetic, and my cholesterol, CRP and cortisol levels were through the roof!
I was also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis which caused my elevated CRP (C-reactive protein) levels and joint pain.
That was when I realized that this wasn’t a joke anymore, I had to do something, dieting alone wasn’t getting me results.
I started going for 1-hour walks daily and removed processed, sugary foods and drinks from my diet. I also started researching a lot of healthy food options.
I found tips to reduce my inflamamtion, constipation, and prediabetes plus healthy and low-calorie recipes to lose weight.
I decided to do everything possible to nurse myself back to health and that’s how skinny fit mama was born. I made a plan to document my journey and share all the recipes, and tips I find with other moms like me.
That’s why you’ll find a lot of posts on this blog about low-calorie recipes, inflamamtion, constipation, weight loss, diet plans, and parenting.
When I started, I weighed 130kg, now I weigh 90kg. My goal weight is 70kg because I’m 5 feet, 8″ so I have 20kg to go! Wish me luck.
Here’s how I look now… (still trying to lose arm fat)
You can find me on Twitter, and Pinterest.
I hope the next picture I share, I’ll be the real skinny fit mama! I know there will be times of relapse but I’ll get there and you can too.
When I start writing a blog post, the title is always personal. I start with conditions that I suffer from and what helps me reduce my symptoms.
For example, I’ve always been constipated and have tried a gazillion recipes and remedies to find relief. Some of them work and some don’t. The ones that do work, I write about them.
While writing, I find other keywords that people search for related to the topic I’m writing about. Most of the time, I do not have answers to these questions so I get them from trusted medical research sources like NHS, WebMD, Pubmed, etc.
I try my best to create high-quality posts with the most up-to-date trusted information for your health.
