Hi there, and welcome! I’m Vera.

If you’re anything like me, you love desserts—maybe a little too much. My sweet tooth was always in charge, and for a long time, I didn’t think much of it… until some routine blood work brought me face-to-face with a prediabetes diagnosis. That was the wake-up call I didn’t know I needed.

Like many people, I tried every diet under the sun. Keto, low-carb, intermittent fasting—you name it. And honestly? I hated them all. They felt like punishment instead of a solution. I was constantly hungry, grumpy, and counting down the days until I could “cheat.”

Everything changed when I stumbled across a post in an online group talking about low-calorie eating and calorie deficits. For the first time, something clicked. It wasn’t about restriction—it was about balance, flexibility, and learning how to eat the foods I love in a way that actually works for me.

That simple shift changed everything.

Now, I’m here to share the recipes, tips, and mindset shifts that helped me take control of my health—without giving up flavor or fun. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, manage your blood sugar, or just eat lighter without sacrificing the foods you enjoy, I’m so glad you’re here.

We’re in this together, and I can’t wait to show you that low-calorie can still mean delicious.
