“Losing weight can be fun. When I lost 40 pounds, it was the most exciting moment of my life because I was loving what I was eating every day and seeing my waist shrink.” - Nagina Abdullah

Many people associate diets and healthy food with restriction, deprivation, and boredom. Luckily, that doesn’t have to be the case. What we eat should be about more than just nutrition. Food can bring excitement, fun, and pleasure, and there’s no reason why that can’t be the case with healthy dishes.

For today’s guest, Nagina Abdullah, this realization was pivotal in her weight loss journey. Nagina Abdullah is a weight-loss coach for women in midlife and founder of the website MasalaBody.com. She teaches women to boost their metabolism by adding and combining metabolism-boosting foods to reduce belly fat and overall weight gain in midlife. Nagina has a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and has helped over 1,500 midlife women successfully lose weight and create a lifestyle change.

In this conversation, Nagina and I discuss how adding metabolism-boosting foods and spices helped her lose 40 pounds, the importance of incorporating adequate protein and vegetables into the diet, the benefits of spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, intermittent fasting, the need for personalized dietary choices, and more.
