Hi, I’m Linda Jones !
Hi, I’m Linda—the loud-laughing, avocado-obsessed thirty-something you’ll usually spot with flour on her jeans and a spoon of almond butter in hand. I believe food should make you feel alive, not lethargic; strong, not stuffed; and absolutely, unapologetically happy—preferably in under an hour.
From XL Coffee Cups to a Lean Keto Life
Back in my corporate-marketing days I lived on drive-thru breakfasts and double-shot lattes. The spreadsheet marathon was real—and so was the +18 kg I carried around my waistline. A hard truth from my doctor (“Your lab results look like a roller-coaster”) pushed me to swap late-night take-out for actual vegetables. I dove into everything low-carb and naturally nutrient-dense, discovered keto done right—think wild-caught salmon, good fats, and greens by the bucket—and shed the weight without shedding the joy.
Why I Built Mealura
- Natural over processed. If my grandma wouldn’t recognize the ingredient, it doesn’t go in the pot.
- Health without boredom. Healthy food shouldn’t taste like penance; spices, herbs, and a squeeze of citrus fix that fast.
- Results you can feel. Balanced blood sugar, steady energy, a clear mind—these wins matter more than any number on a scale.
- Fun first. A messy kitchen is a playground, not a crime scene.
You’ll notice echoes of these principles in every recipe here—following the lead of U.S. blogs that put simplicity and flavor ahead of food-science jargon Minimalist Bakerwellplated.com.
