Enjoy a slice of exotic paradise at the comfort of your own home with this sugar, dairy and gluten free Tropical Cake.

Hi, I'm Dasha and I love food. A lot. But I've decided to look more into the things that I put on my plate and eat for a better health. Of course without skipping the flavour. So if you are also looking to make a few healthy changes in your life, but don't wanna give up taste, I'm happy to share my tips. On this site you can find real food recipes (mostly Paleo and Low Carb) as well as few travel tips and insides into my travel journey.

What’s your go to?

Treating myself to aaaall the carbs this morning 💪🏻

You probably noticed that my relationship with carbs changed a lot in the last year. I stopped being so strict and allowed some good carbs back to my life. The low carb lifestyle worked amazing for me for several years and I’m very happy that I did it because I learned so much about food, nutrition and my own body thanks to that! But I’m now exercising more than I was before and my body simply needs the fuel. And I feel much better with carbs providing that. Not many but no too low either. Just the right balance for me 😊

Fun fact - I used to hate exercise 🙅🏼‍♀️

I would find excuses why I can’t do something during the PE class at school and tried to avoid as much as I possibly could. I wasn’t very athletic. But it was probably more because I was always so self-aware. I would rather not do something than look silly in front of others if I didn’t know how to do it on the first go. And I hated to push myself out of my comfort zone.

Then as an adult I started slowly getting more out of exercise and enjoying movement, but wouldn’t try many new things because I didn’t want to look stupid.

Well, I’m still very shy in front of others (gym or not), but at 31 years I finally realised that pushing myself out of my comfort zone is good for me and learning new things is fun. And if I look silly sometimes? I guess that’s just normal, isn’t it?

Ok, I know I just said that we’re getting into t
