About Me

Hello people, my name is Monica Elyse Bastola (MEB) and I am in a quest to inspire people to adopt a healthier lifestyle by eating better.

I was born in Nepal and grew up eating rice and vegetables with some beans literally for every meal. Eating was monotonous. There was a plateful of rice, then a small side of vegetables and a small bowl full of lentils or beans. I didn’t understand variety in eating until I moved to the US 14 years ago.

I am grateful for you have discovered my platform so you can learn and teach others, the tips and knowledge you may acquire from my blog. So, here we go – Here I come!!!!

I would like to help people answer questions like:

  1. What are we ingesting with our foods?
  2. What nutrients are lacking from our diets?
  3. What should we eat instead of our go-to guilty pleasures?
  4. What to buy in a grocery store and where to buy?
  5. What kinds of diets should we follow?
  6. How to lose weight and maintain it?

And most importantly,

  1. How to build a habit, so we reach for the best thing for the body at all times?

In today’s world, where we have thousands of choices and we have to make thousands of stops to make one simple decision; I can understand how overwhelmed people can get.

I am bringing this blog to share with people, my experience and my learning and I am so excited to follow my passion to help people make better food choices among thousands we come across.

P.S. – All the pictures in the website are taken by me unless noted otherwise.

Oh, and another thing – please forgive my grammar; English is my second language.  🙂
