Fede's Happy Life

Lately I've been loving a quick lunch that consist in food that can be eaten without fork... Mainly because I'm lazy and I'd love not to have a lot of stoves/dishes to clean... This is the perfect recipie for that specific reason! You can make them in advance (meal-prep style) or you can serve them as an apetizer paired with a fancy dipping sauce (this is how lazy people step up their game when it comes to food!) when you have friends over... Since the flavours are not so dominant (I love me some good customizable recipies) the hamburgers can be serve in whatever way you find right, swap the herbs to your liking or even change kind of beans! INGREDIENTS BASE RECIPIE  Chickpeas          2 cans, drained and rinsed Onion                 1, medium Celery                1 Carrots               3, medium/small Oat Flour           (if needed and as much you need!) Salt  Pepper Garlic Powder FLAVOURINGS Paprika Oregano Tyme  WHA

Whether you're new to the makeup world or you've been into it for a while, you may have already learnt how important having the right makeup tools are! At that time Sigma was really in, but I live in Italy and buying from them, unfortunately, was not an option! (*credits: sigma.com) Or MAC was also available, but it was too expensive for me! (*credits: review.com) Few years back, when I was just starting getting into the makeup world I found that the most difficult items to find were not "proper makeup" but BRUSHES. As I got into applying foundation, concealer and powders I realized how important having the right tools was and I started making endless researches about what was best for me. I have to say that at the time brushes were not so "in"... You couldn't find a lot of nice drugstore-priced brushes (and I'm talking about 4/5 years ago! Which is crazy to think about how much the makeup world has evolved since then!) and the "

While I was trying to loose some weight I realized that it was not about eating less, but about "eating more of the right food"! I bought (just because I've wanted one for a really long time) a waffle-iron and as soon as I started searching for recipies I realized that there weren't that many "healthi-ish" waffle recipies that included whole wheat flour (and while I was trying making my own recipie I realized why! It is so hard!) so I DECIDED TO MAKE MY OWN. Here's the link The fact of using whole wheat flour change the consistency of the waffles in general but I feel like it's inevitable since the flour is not super processed... I mean... You give and you have! I, for sure, give up on the consistency for a more wholesome "ingredient list"! INGREDIENTS (makes 4 waffles): Whole Wheat Flour                                          100 gr Cornstarch                                                       10 gr Baking Powder  

I'm so lazy... It's not even funny... And my goal in life is to work the least amount of time possible and make it look like I've worked on it for hours... And when I'm in the kitchen the goal is the same! This recipie took me FIVE minutes to make and let me tell you that if you have some last minute guest over, you will not let them down! I HAVE TO SAY that the coconut flour give everything a "not so smooth" texture to the dessert but I actually prefere it in that way! When I eat dessert like puddings I feel like I'm not that "satisfied", because it seems like I'm eating nothing! Please tell me I'm not the only one! For the base I used a basic chocolate cake (I found the recipie in the internet) which for my liking came out a little bit too dry, but it turned out perfect for this kind of dessert! You could be even lazier and buy a pre-made cake or bake a cake from the "box" but I'll suggest to use "real&q

As promised here's the recipie for the cookies! I was able to make 16 (decent sized!) cookies out of it. Those are tasty and healthier than your usual cookies, I've tried to swap out ingredients and I have to say that I was able to make it work! Usually, if I have those for breakfast I would eat 2 or 3, paired with an hot cup of coffee! Cause COFFEE IS LIFE .   ( here's the link of the video) INGREDIENTS: Whole Wheat Flour                     100 grams Oats                                               80 grams Coconut Flour                        2 tablespoons Cane Sugar                                   30 grams Egg                                             1, medium Butter, melted                               30 grams Yoghurt                                         50 grams Milk                                                   40 ml Baking Powder                               7 grams Salt                                                  a p

I've never been the person that followed a diet, I've never been into one and I will never be... WHY? Because I find that restricting yourself, in any way, shape or form, is not the right thing to do ! Even if I try, I think I'd last for no more than a week! I think that, instead, if you're trying to loose some weight, you should start with small changes that, slowly but surely, will change your whole lifestyle ... Without you even realizing it! I've learned also that is not about HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRAIN AND FOR HOW LONG... IT'S ABOUT THE FOOD YOU EAT ! You can train 2 to 3 hours a day... But if you eat crap ... You'll feel like crap! (that's my honest opinion). BREAD LET'S BE HONEST... BREAD IS LIFE The texture, the taste, the filling-power that it has... It's hard to give up on bread! But I've found some food that help me stop the "cravings" (which are not even cravings! They're more like a satiation feeli

Hi everyone! Today I wanna share some tips that helped me lose weight. The most important thing, to me, when starting a weight-loss journey, is not to make huge changes from day to night and expect them to work! Starting small is definitely the way to go!   I. Don't drink your calories I started this weightloss journey with the "I don't want to starve" idea in my mind and the best thing to do is not to drink calories! I'm talking about energy drinks, fuit juices but most and foremost added sugar. I'm not referring about the drinks you buy at the groceries (I mean... Also those!) but about the sugar you put on the coffee/tea... It's so easy to add some empty calories into your diet! CAREFUL! Sometimes we don't realize how much sugar we add to our coffee or other food! II. Less processed food Always with the "I don't want to starve" idea in mind I looked for food that have the proprieties to fill me up for a long per

Hi everybody! Today I wanna share a recipie with you that is so easy to make and SOOO delicius that is not even funny! Now... I have to say that I'm trying to eat as low carb as possible, avoiding refined sugars and empty calories... But it's not easy! While looking for keto friendly recipies I've came across this one (which I've later modify a little bit, to make it less expensive , if I have to be honest!) and although is not "low carb diet friendly" I find that it's still better than the classic brownies recipies that you find on the internet! Those brownies use carrots for moisture and I have to say that I was skeptick about that but you don't even taste them at the end so... THAT'S EVEN BETTER! The carrots and the dates make them SOOO FUDGY and incredible sweet, they are so decadent and chocolatey, it seems like there is a whole ton of chocolate in them, while there is only unsweetened cocoa! Without further do, let's get into th

Hi everyone! Today I wanna talk about what kept me motivated during my weightloss journey! Loosing more than 30 pounds has not been the easiest thing and I have to be honest... Someday I felt great and some days I felt like I was only a failure. Those days were soooo hard and what kept me going were the "little" things that I've listed in this post... Do those solve the problem? NO... But they can help a lot, especially when you have a bad day!   I.    Set realistic goals Sometimes we see super-shredded women/men on Instagram and we're like "I wish I could look like her/him" and we start working out with that idea in mind... AND IT'S GREAT! Until you realize that your body-type (maybe, we're all different!) is not meant to be like that... Everybody is different and what I've experienced overtime is that you don't have to train to look like someone, you train to be the best version of yourself! II.  Do not mind the scale

If you're trying to loose some weight, working out will help you obtaining the results you want faster (even thought nutrition is the MAYOR KEY TO SUCCESS!), but you have to be careful not to exaggerate! Here's the mistakes I made, that didn't allow me to see the results I was hoping for! I. NOT HAVING A REST DAY " I have to loose weight, I should work out every day, seven days a week, and that's what I'm gonna do !"  WELL... THAT WAS MY MINDSET Our muscles need some rest and having a rest-day is the best thing to do! II. TRAINING ALL THE MUSCLE GROUPS AT ONCE, EVERY SINGLE DAY I used to spend almost three hours at the gym on a daily bases(which, btw, it was and it still is a room in my house basement!), doing cardio for half an hour and the rest of the time training all the muscle-groups! It's the same concept as the rest day... Your muscles need some rest! Training one/two group of muscles per day is the best thing, you giv

  Hi everybody! Today I'd love to talk about some tools that helped me counting calories while I was trying to loose weight with all the pros and cons (I'm talking about the base version, not the premium)! Now... I don't like reading reviews on the appStore, mainly because sometimes those who write don't even know what they're talking about, so I've decided to explain everything in this post! I've used both of the apps so I think that this could be a pretty useful review if you are a "normal" person (and for normal I mean someone that doesn't know that much about nutrition!) so... Let's get into the review! LIFESUM It's the best , in my personal opinion, app for beginners ! I find that at the beginning of a weight loss journey you shouldn't be counting macros (or, at least, not care about those alla that much!) and that's why I suggest this app! If you only want to count your calories intake and know how muc

  Hi everybody! Today I'm going to talk to you about what I learned during my weight-loss journey. I've lost more than 30 pounds and the whole journey as not been the easiest! I never thought that what everyone that had lost weight was actually true... And in this two-year-spam of time I realized how my mindset changed and that the things I used to focus at the beginning don't matter anymore. Without rambling... This is what I learned during my journey!   I. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE WEIGHT        Do you really wanna know how I loose all that weight?? MY SCALE BROKE! And no...         I'm not kidding (my brother actually jumped on it and we were all to lazy to buy another         one)!        Because of that in almost two years I've never weighted myself, THANK GOD, and that         allowed me to focus on getting stronger and improving myself!     II. IT'S A LEARNING PROCESS        Every body is different, what did work for me may not work for
