Hi,
my name is Ami, otherwise known as Broccoli Mum, a busy mum of two who has struggled with my weight for about 20 years.
I'v spent my adult life yo-yo dieting between raw veganism (which i found incredibly challenging), intermittant fasting, slimming world, counting calories, portion control and crazy insane workouts.
But I never found anything that worked long term. I would always feel guilty that I ran out of motivation after a few weeks or months. I would then pendulum swing right back to vegan junk foods... This went on for a while.
In 2020 I was at my heaviest weight of 80kg (I am only 5'2). Being pregnant and a new mum had thrust me into a world of vegan junk foods, ben and jerrys being my go-to. I felt heavy, uncomfortable, under-confident, tired all the time and low on energy. I hid behind black baggy clothes and stopped taking pride in my appearance. It was during our first covid lockdown in 2020 that I decided to have a really hard look at myself and realised I was the only one who make a change!
I then dedicated ALL my time and energy to learn the truth about how to actually release weight as a vegan. I soaked up as much information as I could and finally found the magic of calorie density!
I jumped right in, read the starch solution and how not to die and started eating starches, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Don't get me wrong, I was very sceptical at first and was scared to eat so many starches (the dreaded carb!), as I was sure I was the only person that it wouldn't work for. But I had tried everything else, so I had nothing to lose.
After the first month alone I felt incredible. And after 6 months I was down 40 lbs and in the best shape of my life.

Since then I lost the final 20 pounds and and have kept it off for years!
And now I want to share the magic of effortless vegan weight loss with you! And how you can shape your environment through habit change to make lasting change.
This way of eating has changed my whole world and I want that for everyone!
