The moment I stopped stressing about my weight and about the food I ate, the moment I really decided to prioritse sleep and my mental health..
this is the moment my body changed completely.
All of a sudden I saw the changes on my body from all of the hard work I was putting in.
All of a sudden I didn’t feel as bloated anymore.
All of a sudden I finally felt good in my body – and I liked what I saw.
Sounds too good to be true? Yeah, I know.
I always thought we always had to push ourselves to the limit, all of the time. If it is with workouts or my work life. And this eventually put my body completely out of homeostastis.
But the moment I started syncing with my cycle and understood that there are 4 different phases my body goes through every single month, and once I started syncing with those phases, that was the moment where everything changed for me.
All of that weight was melting down, my water retention was non existent, my energy was high, and I finally saw all the hard work paying off.
Now, I’d like to know – are you syncing with your cycle? Or are you considering it?

Recipe (yields 2-3 servings)
🌱Ingredients
- 1 small head cauliflower, wash & cut into florets & pat dry with paper towels
- 1 small green bell pepper, cubed
- 1/2 small red onion, cubed
- 2 cloves garlic - sliced
- 1/4 cup [40g] dry roasted cashews
- 4 dried Thai chilis/red chilis, softened in hot water & drained
- oil for frying & cooking
🌱Batter
- 3/4 cup [96g] all-purpose flour
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup ice-cold water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- a few shakes of white pepper
🌱Sauce Mix together 2 tablespoons soy sauce/tamari, 1/2 tablespoon thick dark soy sauce (for color), 1/2 tablespoon sugar & 3 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine/sherry/broth in a bowl & set aside.
✅Place batter ingredients in a large mixing bowl & stir to combine. The batter should be thick like a pancake batter.
✅Dredge florets in batter, shake off excess & fry until golden brown (temperature 375F/190°C & I used a small saucepan). Then drain on paper towels.
✅Alternatively, grease a baking sheet pan with oil, place coated florets on the pan. Brush florets with oil & bake at 485F/
250°C until light golden brown for about 20-25 mins, be sure to flip halfway. For the last few minutes, broil to get a crispier ure (oven time varies)
✅To make the sauce, in a heated non-stick pan with 2 teaspoons oil, sauté onion until translucent. Then add garlic, bell pepper, chili & continue to sauté until fragrant. Slowly pour in the sauce & cook to reduce it slightly. Please adjust the sauce based on the cauliflower's size.
✅Finally, add the cauliflower florets, cashews & quickly toss them with the sauce until all incorporated. Serve with rice for a delicious meal.
*Please be sure to dry florets well before coating or the liquid will slowly thin down
