Olivelle Frisk didn’t start her weight-loss journey with a trendy app or a detox tea. She started with frustration—and questions. “I’d tried everything: intermittent fasting, juice cleanses, counting every calorie,” she recalls. “But nothing stuck. I didn’t want another quick fix. I wanted something that made sense.”
So instead of chasing fads, Olivelle turned to science. She began researching how metabolism works, how hormones influence hunger, and how different foods affect insulin levels and energy. What she discovered changed everything.
“I stopped thinking about food as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and started looking at how my body responded to it,” she says. With that shift, her habits began to evolve naturally. She prioritized protein to keep her full, added fiber-rich vegetables to stabilize her energy, and didn’t fear healthy fats.
But the biggest change? She slowed down. “I used to eat fast—barely tasting my food,” she says. “Now I pause, chew, notice how I feel. That alone changed my relationship with food.”
The science also helped her ditch guilt. When she learned how sleep and stress affect weight regulation, she gave herself more grace on hard days. It wasn’t just about what was on her plate—it was about how her lifestyle supported her goals.
After six months, Olivelle had lost weight. But more importantly, she had built a way of eating she could sustain. “This time, it didn’t feel like a battle,” she reflects. “It felt like understanding—and finally working with my body instead of against it.”
