I went from 210 pounds to 165, and the weight loss was the easy part to explain: I stopped dieting and built a food system instead. Every recipe in my rotation is high-protein and built to taste like the thing it replaces: pizza on a chicken crust, ice cream out of a Ninja Creami, cheesecake with real protein numbers. Food that feels like cheating, with macros that say otherwise.
The loss phase is done. The current phase is recomposition: hold the weight, trade fat for muscle, and keep the system running with a one-year-old in the house and a trading desk that starts before dawn.
My whole library lives in ReciMe: 93 recipes across 21 cookbooks, collected and tested over the last few years. Pizzas, breakfasts built for meal prep, Creami desserts, and a handful of sides that show up at every potluck. The full index is on the recipes page, and a typeset edition of the book is in the works.
