I LOST 66 LBS EATING MORE FOOD THAN EVER

I spent most of my life believing losing weight meant eating less.

So I tried. For years.

I skipped meals. I feared carbs. I did diet after diet. I'd lose weight, gain it back, and convince myself I just didn't have enough willpower.

The problem was, I've always loved food. I'm a volume eater. Tiny portions were never going to be my life.

Then in 2020, I discovered a completely different way to eat. Instead of making my portions smaller, I made them HUGE.

Potatoes. Pasta. Curry. Cake. Ice cream.

I lost 10 lbs in my first month. Six months later, I'd lost 40 lbs, without counting a single calorie. Eventually, 66 lbs came off.

But losing it turned out to be only half my story...
