Guest Bio

I'm Hannah, the face behind Lovely Delites. I started my account about 3.5 years ago as a creative outlet for me as a way to share recipes that I loved and adored but made with simpler and healthier ingredients. I had just quit my dream of pursuing a career in modeling and was trying to navigate what a healthy relationship with food looked like for me. In order to book jobs in the modeling industry, I was instructed by agents that I needed to lose a lot of weight, which I did. But in turn I developed a really unhealthy and restrictive relationship with food.

When I started my account I was fully vegan because it was a way for me to restrict the foods that I loved, I thought the less that I was allowed to eat then the more weight I would lose. For the first two years working on Lovely Delites I shared full vegan and gluten-free recipes even though behind the scenes, I was working with lifting all restrictions on my diet. Since then, I have started to share non-vegan recipes too, however my page still remains with an emphasis on vegan and gluten-free recipes. This is because cooking this way makes me feel good and also it's very inclusive for anyone and any diet. Even if you are not v/gf you can still enjoy these types of recipes.

Since I've adapted into more of a flexitarian diet, I have fully healed my relationship with food and now I share online with my audience that you can also still include your favorite foods into your diet and still live a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I no longer restrict anything, I honor my cravings and I am the healthiest I have ever been in my life. My goal is to hopefully inspire anyone who may be dealing with a restrictive diet that it's okay, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that you can truly have both.
