My name is Laura and I’m a wife, cook and mom to Jorge Daniel. I started sharing my recipes with you some years ago to lose weight and now we are an entire community dedicated to our health. I love to share with you every step of my life, my marriage and now in my new role as a mom, tips for babies and lifestyle, learning something new together each day.
THANK YOU!

MY HISTORY
As a child I struggled with being overweight
Over the years, I made the same resolution – to lose weight. Year after year, January came and it was as if I only had to change the date on my list of resolutions. They were always the same and always had the same result: exercise, lose weight, be organized, don’t get involved in so many things, put my clothes in order, dedicate more time to my family and to myself…
That last resolution encompasses it all: DEDICATE MORE TIME TO MYSELF. I don’t know the precise moment my life became a chaos. I got a master’s degree in journalism, I had an online business with my sisters and I worked for a government agency. I gave conferences and was often invited to coordinate journalists for special international events. I traveled a lot and wrote a weekly Sunday column for several newspapers. I finished a book and I still wanted to begin to study for another master’s degree. I was involved in everything but myself.
I was happy with my goals, my status, the renown I had acquired through my work, but deep down in my heart I knew that my mom was right when she would say, “Laura, go to sleep, you never sleep, you have to make time for yourself.”
Stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, slow metabolism, genetics, my cravings, my addiction to sugar and my habit of worrying about everything ended up putting me at 104 pounds above my ideal weight. I’m tall, I’ve always been told I am beautiful – fat or thin. I liked to think I was voluptuous, although as a girl I always wanted to be thin, petit and short. I wanted to be those girls who were smart and organized – the kind they choose to wave the flag or the guard in primary school.
“Every time I started a diet, I made the same mistake. I thought about getting to my ideal weight and then eating just like any other person. Now I understand the it’s not about getting to a goal, it’s about keeping it an accepting that I’m not like any other person. I am a unique and unlike any other.”
It was then that I made a complete change in my life and three years later, I lost more than 110 pounds by eating healthy with the healthy nutrition program I share with all of you today: THE CHALLENGE.
Staying fit and healthy has not been an easy road… I have to plan my meals for the week, cook and wash loads of dishes. I have to bring my own food sometimes when I go out. I need emotional support; I have to abstain from things I like to eat. Nevertheless, all my efforts to this day have been worth it especially because I have not only met my goals, but I’ve helped many others reach their goals by sharing my recipes with them. Those years I decided to dedicate to myself helped me learn many things, things that I can now share with many people through this webpage, through my Youtube videos and my social media.

Then it became a challenge to see a recipe and thought how to make it light, he says, “then in August some friends asked me to teach them to cook, because they wanted to start eating healthy and I was teaching them.”
He explained that he promised them that he would give them some recipes, but he had to travel “and my desperate friends sent me a message on Facebook that nothing came out of them and I thought I could record a video and upload it to YouTube.”
