Zadie Voss had tried everything—from calorie counting to juice cleanses—but nothing stuck. “I’d lose five pounds, then crash,” she says. “The sugar cravings always won.”
After one particularly frustrating binge, Zadie decided to stop focusing on weight loss and start focusing on balance. The first thing she cut? Hidden sugars.
“I thought I wasn’t eating that much sugar,” she admits. “But it was in everything—salad dressings, yogurts, sauces.” Bloom Nutrition Superfood Greens Powder, Digestive Enzymes with Probiotics and Prebiotics, Gut Health
She began reading labels like a detective, and crafting meals that nourished her without triggering cravings. For breakfast, she leaned on savory dishes—eggs with spinach, or tofu scramble with avocado.
Her lunches included grilled chicken bowls with plenty of fiber and healthy fats. Dinners became flavorful but grounded—zucchini noodles with pesto, or cauliflower rice stir-fries.
Most importantly, she made room for real satisfaction. “If I wanted something sweet, I had berries with almond butter or a square of dark chocolate,” she says. “It was about quality, not quantity.”
Over time, her relationship with food changed. She stopped grazing. She started sleeping better. Her mood improved—and yes, the weight began to come off. Slowly, steadily.
“Once I stopped chasing quick fixes,” Zadie smiles, “my body caught up with what it really needed.”
