WHY I wrote THE WEIGHT LOSS CODE

Since announcing the forthcoming launch of my 1st book, I have been overwhelmed by your show of support and encouragement and a bit of pokes here and there to spill out what the book is about.
It's also been interesting reading the guesses about what genre this could be.

I didn't plan to keep this to myself for long, so today I'm spilling it!

Those of you who know me will remember that in 2018, I took the bold decision to address my overweight. That's just putting it mildly. Truth is at the time I was officially obese and my BMI had crept up to the red range of the NHS BMI scale.
Anyone who grew up with me could not believe I could ever get that big. However I found the right information, applied it and in 6 months, I transformed my body and have since regained control of my weight. I learnt a lot along the way and have decided to put these in a book to help as many people who may still be struggling with overweight or be caught up in the vicious 'diet - lose weight - regain weight' cycle.

Why I decided to write?

I am passionate about sharing knowledge. I believe knowledge becomes power only when it is applied and shared.
Obesity has become one of the top 5 morbidity factors globally. Around 50% adults are trying to lose weight at any given time yet the obesity rate keeps rising.
There are too many complicated diet fads out there but weight loss is not supposed to be complex. People just don't have the correct information.
Underlying health issues strongly linked to overweight and obesity played a big part in the high rate of Covid19 fatalities. The BAME community in particular was hit hard hence the need for this call to action.

In this book, I share how anyone can lose weight in a simple, straight forward, and sustainable manner; with some small lifestyle changes that are easy to implement; cuisines from anywhere in the world; and familiar food ingredients that are readily available and easily accessible. (not something that grows only on one tree in the Amazon or is found on only one mountain in the Himalayas 😊)

I am extending an invitation to anyone who would like to join my book launch team.

My Couples Weekend Away 2019 Experience

We've just returned from NCC Streatham'2019 Couples weekend away and every year just hasn't stopped surpassing the previous for us. The theme this year was THE MISSING LINK and I doubt if any of the around 40 couples in attendance anticipated what we will be finding. The weekend started with an unforgettable 5 minutes introduction by Kemi Laleye based on the parable of Jesus about a woman who had 10 coins, lost one and rather than manage with the 9,did everything possible to find the one because without the one, she may be fine but will still be incomplete. She lit a lamp, swept the house, turned things upside down until she found the one, then rejoiced over it with her neighbours. We were told: you need to know you had it for you to even realise its lost, the light though lit to find the missing coin will also exposed other hidden things sweeping the house to find the coin will also consequently result in de-cluttering and in finding it, we need ...

Thanksgiving Chronicles Day 1: My BE-ing

‘ For in Him I live and move and have my BE-ing’ (Acts 17:28) My transition over the years from the very shy and stuttering girl on the left to this bold, outspoken and confident woman on the right never ceases to amaze me. For whatever reason, I just could not like myself. I grew up in a loving family, our parents put us first and gave us the best of everything but these voices in my head never stopped telling me I was not good enough. You're thin, you cannot talk smoothly, you are too tall, you are too this, you are too that, you are not this, you are not that! These thoughts went with me into teenage and despite being very bright academically these voices got louder and louder in my head until my late teen. In 1998, I remember coming back home from polytechnic during my OND days and having this conversation with my mum. Days before, a couple of petite but mouthy friends had laughed at me in school again and told me I looked horribly thin & tall. Mu...

Thanksgiving Chronicles Day 3: He Crowns my effort

Put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success Prov 3:6 When God gives you the 'expo' who is the lecturer that can fail you? I was very academically bright as a child. We really didn't have a choice. Our parents put us in the best schools, were hands on when it came to their involvement in our education. Daddy was the Current affairs, Chemistry and Biology tutor and Mum was the Maths tutor. That is not to mention extra lessons out of school and during holidays. We had every book on the school's list of books and either Mum or Dad will travel from Akure to Ibadan during the long vacation to shop our textbooks at Odusote Bookshop. We all skipped at least 1 primary school class to get into secondary school. I and my brother went to secondary school from Primary 5 and my sister crushed Federal government exams and left for Secondary school from Primary 3. You could say we were the highly 'alakowe' (literate) family but I'd ...
