When Remi Sloane began working with a heart health specialist, the first thing she heard was: “You don’t need a diet. You need a routine that makes you feel good.”
That’s when she started shifting away from fried foods, creamy sauces, and heavy snacks—not because of restriction, but because she wanted her body to work with her, not against her.
“I thought low-fat meals would be boring,” Remi admits. “I pictured dry salads and steamed broccoli. But that’s not how it has to be.”
She began experimenting with herbs, spices, and smart cooking techniques. Instead of frying, she baked or roasted. Instead of creamy dressings, she used lemon juice and balsamic.
And rather than trying to recreate her favorite comfort foods exactly, she reimagined them—like her go-to lentil bolognese or veggie stir-fries with tamari and ginger.
Remi quickly noticed a difference. “I didn’t feel heavy after eating,” she says. “And I wasn’t getting the same afternoon crashes.”
The biggest win? She stopped relying on food as a reward or escape. “When your meals feel good, your body feels good. And that changes everything.”
Today, Remi sees low-fat eating not as a sacrifice, but as an upgrade. “I eat what I love,” she says. “I’ve just learned to love different things.”
