I can't even think of making this again for several more months or I will gain 20 lbs, but man it was good. It looked pretty similar to your picture here, but I can't test your skillz or presentation though. Thanks for the inspiration.

It's all about maintaining a strong and sustained lifestyle change/mental adjustment.

Familiarize yourself with ingredients/vegies, fruits, herbs, seasonings and low cab recipes...

Be very fearless in the kitchen

Be willing to try new things/recipes

Be willing to flip over traditional naija recipes to suit your palate and healthy lifestyle.........

Anyways, I'm gonna be posting some low cab food pics/recipes.....

Very well said ma nucca

I used to be very traditional with my Nigerian cooking ways. But lately I have come to realize that one can also strike a balance. So in an attempt to maintain a healthy diet, I have been trying new things and most importantly keeping an open mind. Doesnt mean I'm gonna try frog legs any time soon tho

But yeah I feel you.. I have been picking up stuff from the grocery store you never would have caught me dead with a few months ago.
