‘Don’t stop eating the food you love’

Dulce shared a before and after picture of herself in the post, along with snacks she ate during her weight loss and maintenance journey. In the caption, she stressed that losing fat and eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring.

She added, “I used to think I had to eat the least amount of food possible, plain salads and hard boiled eggs in order to see results due to being misguided for yearssss. Let this be your reminder that you don’t have to stop eating the food you love in order to see results. Remember to fuel your body everyday, eat enough, hit that protein goal & be patient! The gains will come (sic).”
