Growing up in an ethnic household means food isn't just food — it's love, guilt, tradition, and three extra servings you never asked for.
So when I decided to lose weight, it wasn't just about calories — it was about cultural survival.
From dodging Mum's "just one more roti" to explaining to aunties that protein shakes aren't medicine, this is the real-world guide to calorie deficit, gym life, and desi family sabotage — told through hilarious comic-style memes, relatable storytelling, and raw honesty.
Across 10 honest, laugh-out-loud chapters, I break down everything from emotional eating and "mum's cooking guilt" to calorie tracking homemade curries — all while keeping my culture, confidence, and humour intact.
Because this isn't a story about starving yourself. It's about redefining health in a world where food equals love, and proving that you can chase your goals without losing your roots.
If you've ever tried to diet in a household where saying "I'm full" starts an argument — this is your book.
