Food with Purpose: Better Food Better Shape

Hi I’m Lena, the founder of Shape Recipes. I have a passion for nutrition and cooking, with a background in molecular biology and Chinese medicine. I started this blog to share simple, delicious recipes to help you stay shape. Each ingredient is chosen with the purpose of nourishing your body. 

Shape Recipes Philosophy:

Eat with purpose: Use food as a tool to fuel your body with the necessary nutrients to function optimally and prevent metabolic illnesses in the long run. 

Treat your body with care: Your body is your armor in this world. It carries you through life and performs countless tasks for you every day. Treat it with care and respect by maintaining good health and staying in shape. Yes, life can be unpredictable, but it that’s no excuse for chugging 64 oz of coke or devouring dozen donuts. Your shape is a reflection of what you eat.   

Don’t waste food:  For ethical, moral, and environmental reasons. Eat what you need. Choose foods that support your body’s needs and goals. 

Eating with purpose doesn’t mean excusing yourself from holiday dinners. You can enjoy the foods you love during the holidays while being mindful of how your body responds and adjusting as needed. 

I hope you find the recipes and posts on this website helpful, no  matter where you are on your health and fitness journey. 

Salud,

Lena
