My meal habit: Before enjoying pasta, I usually begin with a few crunchy vegetables. I enjoy pasta as part of a meal with plenty of vegetables and protein.

I lost 24kg without giving up the foods I love. I learned to change the way I ate instead of constantly trying to eat less or follow another restrictive plan.
