I’ll start!! 👇 I recently had body composition testing done and found out I’m at 31% body fat — humbling, to say the least 😅 My current goal is fat loss, not chasing the scale. The number on the scale may change or it may not, so I’m focusing on body fat percentage instead. Health-wise, my labs (cholesterol + blood sugar) are in a good place 🙌 The only thing I’m working on improving is a vitamin D deficiency, which I’ve been supplementing and already seeing progress with.

OMG. I have been craving a good soup, so when I saw this recipe on tiktok... I knew I had to try it. This recipe was pretty balanced already, but I wanted to swap out more indulgent items with more wholesome ones. The creator of the recipe shows the instructions and ingredients in her posts, but here's what I subbed/added for more health benefits: FOR THE SOUP: - did not add pancetta (why? I love the taste and flavor, but I felt the Italian sausage was giving enough protein and fat. They're both not the leanest option for protein) - used unsalted bone broth instead of regular broth (why? for more protein of course!) - instead of using 6 cups of broth, I only used 3 and decided to use just plain water for the rest of the liquid measurements (why? To keep sodium levels manageable) - I only added 1/2 cup of heavy cream (why? this recipe is already rich enough. That extra 1/2 cup can save you calories and heaviness) - used chickpea pasta noodles instead of lasagna noodles (why? to increase fiber and plant-based protein of course!) - I added spinach AND kale (why? for more micronutrients of course!) FOR THE RICOTTA MIX: - instead of ricotta cheese, I used cottage cheese. I blended it in the blender to get a smooth texture (why? to get more protein of course!) - did not add mozzarella (why? I just didn't have any and it was still delicious without it) Would highly recommend making it!!
