- What is the philosophy of lifeme.gr. What is your goal through the site?
Lifeme.gr is a site aiming to offer simple and easy ways to improve one’s quality of life. It provides continuous information on nutrition, fitness, beauty and many other interesting topics, it proposes healthy and delicious recipes based on nutritional values. Above all, it constitutes a valid and specialised guide for products, restaurants, gyms and anything relevant to a person that is interested in adopting a healthy lifestyle. The goal is to make people understand that they can live both healthily and enjoyably.
- How did you start the site?
I was working in various advertising companies and my colleagues were teasing me, because while I was working for hours, I had a lot of energy. I always went to work carrying food in containers, I was experimenting a lot, and my friends and acquaintances kept asking me about which healthy products to choose, which restaurant they would eat healthy in and which gym to go to. One morning I just decided to start my own project to show people that despite the day-to-day difficulties, you can take care of yourself and feel proud of doing so.
- How would you describe Lifeme?
Lifeme will teach you how to follow a healthy diet, not a weight loss diet, how to put the gym in your life and how to make your daily life more beautiful. It’s not about how much you try, it’s about how you do it!
- Do you train? What exercises do you do and why?
Gymnastics for me is psychotherapy. I try to work out 5 times per week but it’s not always feasible. I have been training at least 3 times a week and have gone through several types of gymnastics (athletics, weights, krav maga, pilates, personal training etc), but I think we have to choose the type of exercise in relation to our current circumstances. In particular, I have a very stressful schedule at work, so I have chosen to take pilates cadillac because I want to train and relax at the same time. It’s a kind of fitness that fits and completes my daily routine. And of course, I love jogging in spring and summer.
- Are you following a particular diet? – Which ingredients/raw food can you not live without?
Yes! I don’t consume sugar and white flour! Or I just consume them very rarely. I replaced them with honey and oats, coconut or almond flour. I wouldn’t be able to live without avocado and peanut butter. I can honestly eat a whole jar at once!
- What is your favourite motto?
Healthy is the new sexy, of course! Lifeme was created on this way of thinking. I try to show people how a healthy way of eating combined with exercise and positive thinking can bring out each person’s best self…
