About me

About me

What are your hobbies in life, how do you like to spend time?
I love to develop in motherhood, study myself, children, reactions; as well as family relationships and, in general, the psychology of relationships with people; I love to spend time with family and friends; organize a cool joint leisure for a company; share experiences, inspire or just listen to someone who needs it and who is ready to hear and be heard; I love to dance; sing in the car while driving, create and be creative in the blog: film, come up with scripts, edit videos; I love physical activity (yoga, functional training, badminton, etc.)

What field are you working in now, what do you do?
Blogging; motherhood and family are the basis of my life now 😊

What type of diet do you currently adhere to, do you drink water?
Now it is more convenient for me not to classify myself as part of any concepts, not to adhere to strict rules in the regime and type of nutrition
I would call my diet plant-based with a fruit advantage. And I am also close to the idea of ​​intuitive eating depending on the circumstances. No matter how it sounds, but I am living through such a period in my life; I track the sensations and reactions of the mind and body
Since 2018, I have purposefully not drunk alcohol, I do not eat meat and I do not want to; there was a period of 1.5 years of only fruit nutrition; but I do not want to guess and seem the smartest in this matter, because, as my experience shows, this issue can be changeable
I drink water according to sensations and need, distillate

Since what year/month have you been on this type of diet?
In the topic of veganism since July 2018, in the topic of FE since February 2019; I have been on fruits continuously for 1.5 years since May 2020, then and then there are periods of pure phe from 3 days to 2 months. It can be said that since mid-2018 I have definitely moved away from the concept of omnivorous eating

What led you to this way of eating, what inspired you?
Mom, who showed her and others' experience; her own health issues; mental state

And what continues to inspire now?
People, me, the world around, interest☺️

What difficulties did you have on this path?
The hardest thing is to allow what is and how it is to be. To lag behind others and yourself. I still remind myself of this

When you changed your diet, what changed in your life - in your self-perceptions, in your personal environment, in the social sphere, at work?
I definitely became calmer, more resilient, more sincere and learned to ask myself questions and answer them honestly; relationships with loved ones became closer, more empathetic; it is difficult to work where you do not like. I learned to listen and hear my feelings, to say "no". Although this path is still ongoing!

What has changed, what has become better or worse. How did you feel physically before and now?
Hormonal background is the first thing that came to mind. Because this was the question that was acute in my life before changing my way of life and way of thinking. The female cycle has ceased to be a hard labor; medications and pills have left my life; I got pregnant, carried and gave birth to a baby on a plant-based diet and without medical supervision and after an experience with a miscarriage and taking contraceptives; the condition of my skin has improved; frequent headaches have gone away

How was the period of transition to fruits at the very beginning? With what diet did you decide to become a fruitarian? In one day or was this path stretched out?
The path continues
Once, in 1 day, I gave up PZH
Also, in 1 day, I began to eat only fruits (as I wrote above, it lasted 1.5 years)
But with the experience of covid and pregnancy, I realized that my body and psyche were undergoing changes and at those moments I gave up pure FE

Since then, I continue to study the body and learn to act according to sensations. I understand that my life is a straight path-path with different periods

What is your deep motivation to stay on fruits or your type of nutrition?
I act out of love and acceptance

Your mission in life
To live this very life totally, based on the roles and obligations that already exist ☺️ and constantly move towards the light, development; notice the details

Your main life motto
Behind the clouds, the sun always shines ☀️
I checked when I was flying on an airplane during a thunderstorm ⛈️

What advice would you give to people who want to switch to fruits, but do not dare or do not succeed?
You do not need to try to switch. Study yourself, look, observe the sensations, just eat fruits:
Choose and buy them with love and pleasure; put them in the refrigerator and on the table at home - taste and enjoy when you want them.
Find pleasure in life besides food: do something that lights you up; improve your relationships with yourself and your loved ones; find sources of your dopamine! And remember, the power is in small steps and everything has its time🙏🏼 and also talk and verbalize your fears. Out loud, to yourself or your loved ones. Even if this fear will never become a fruit eater (especially if it is him)

Your favorite fruit recipe or favorite fruits
Every fruit that I hold in my hands. Ripe, sweet, juicy or creamy in texture. From the recipes: fruit goddess salads; zucchini pastes; juice mixes and smoothies. I don’t really like spicy food, only if it’s slightly spicy😌

I am always ready to answer any question when we meet 😊 or participate in the discussion, listen
