Ciao, I’m Clara!

I love food. I love everything about it: colors, texture, aroma and of course, the taste.

My two favorite places to tbe are in the kitchen creating new recipes and at the gym revving up my endorphins. I am passionate about health and fitness and inspiring others to live healthier and happier lives.

My passion for health and fitness is rooted in the fact that my mother was never smaller than a size 16; mostly she struggled with a size 18. After contracting Alzheimer’s disease, she died at age 60. My father with a waist circumference of 52”, died after three massive strokes at age 62. I always thought they died too young and I would never allow my body to be that unhealthy. Which brings me to the topic of fat shaming. No, I do not. It’s not the size of your body–big or small–but how healthy it is.
