Small chops are cute… until they ambush your health like hired ass@ssins.”

Bello: Zainab, why you dey always look my small chops like person wey eye dey pain? Na just puff-puff and samosa na

Zainab: Bello, na the “just” dey deceive you. Small chops dey small only for size, not for oil, salt, or sugar o.

When you fry flour-based snacks at 180–190°C, dem absorb 15–25% of their weight as oil.
That oil, especially reused oil get trans fats wey raise bad cholesterol (LDL) and inflame blood vessels.

Bello: oh Chimo.… so na inflammation dey hide inside puff-puff?

Zainab: Exactly. And no forget say every plate of small chops fit reach 450–700 kcal, depending on quantity.

image say you come knack am with chilled soft drink..

kai ! fire craving!!! na so pesin go just use hand hug better big abdomen/stomach and insulin spike o

The brain does not register “satiety” quickly with finger foods, you overeat before you realise.

Bello: so wetin go sup now na? cuz person gats oblee

Zainab: VERY simple to do:

Air-fried samosa or spring rolls (use 1 tsp oil = 5g).

Puff-puff alternatives: baked buns or boiled plantain bites.

Replace sugary dips with pepper sauce + lemon.

Pair small chops with 150–200g vegetables if you must eat them.

Limit intake to 1 serving (150–200 kcal) per event.

Your Christmas rice isn’t the problem… it’s the things you pile around it.”

Bello: Zainab, Christmas rice don dey call my name already. But I dey fear calories. Any healthier way to enjoy am?

Zainab: Of course, Bello. Rice no be boko boys o. Na the glycemic load and the extras wey dey follow am dey cause trouble.
White rice digest fast meaning say glucose go spikes and then more insulin release, followed by better fat storage.
But with smart swaps and better pairing, the same Christmas rice fit behave like gentle carbohydrate.

Bello: So rice fit behave well if we manage am?

Zainab: Yes nau. Na portion plus pairing plus preparation method.

make i show you:

1. Swap Fried Rice Oil (Broth Cooking )

Use:

1 tsp oil (5g) instead of 3 tbsp (45g)
Why:
Less saturated fat reduced inflammation, giving you a better heart health.
Plus, broth adds flavour with almost zero calories.

2. Swap Plain White Rice ( High-Fibre Mix )

Mix:

150g white rice + 50g brown rice
or

Add ½ cup (60g) vegetables into the rice

Why:
Fibre slows glucose absorption ( up to 25–35% lower sugar spike).
You still enjoy your jollof without suffering.

3. Swap Malt or Juice to Zobo with Ginger

1 malt (330ml): ~180 kcal
Homemade zobo (250ml): ~30–40 kcal

Why:
Lower sugar load, better post-meal glucose and less bloating.

4. Swap Large Portion to Controlled Serving

Standard festive portion should be:

Cooked rice: 1 cup (150g)

Not mountain sized plates wey Nigerians dey serve for December.

Why:
Portion is the biggest driver of sugar spikes, not the rice itself.

and others..

Bello: So I fit still chop rice and no feel guilty?

Zainab: Absolutely. The goal no be to remove rice, na to upgrade the plate.

Your December food isn’t the enemy… your portion sizes are.

Check out Zainab’s “Enjoy Without Guilt” Formula

Bello: Zainab, December don come again. I wan chop rice, chicken, jollof, small wine… but I no wan add weight. How person fit enjoy holiday food without guilt?

Zainab: Bello, food no be the problem, it’s the energy balance. During holidays, people eat more calories than their body burns.
A typical festive plate fit hit 1,200–1,800 kcal without you realising.

Bello: Chai. Na the hidden calories dey do ambush like boko boys o?

Zainab: Exactly.
Take example:

1 ladle jollof (150g) → ~215 kcal

Fried chicken thigh (120g) → ~320 kcal

Salad with mayo (100g) → ~260 kcal

1 glass malt (330ml) → ~190 kcal

Total na about ~985 kcal, and that na before you “just taste small chin-chin o.”

Bello: E don be! So how person go chop, enjoy and still stay okay na?

Zainab: Simple:
Holiday eating needs strategy, not suffering.
Your hormones especially insulin respond better when meals are balanced with fibre + protein.
High-carb feasting without vegetables causes sugar spikes, fat storage and guilt later.

1. Make we use the 50: 25: 25 Plate Rule

Vegetables (50%) → ~200–250g
Slows glucose rise, keeps you full.

Protein (25%) → 80–120g
Chicken, fish, beans. Prevents overeating.

Carbs (25%) → 120–150g
Rice, yam, pasta — portion-controlled.

Share dessert or take ½ portion (about 60–80g).
Your pancreas will appreciate it.

2. The 10-Minute Walk Rule

Walk for 10–12 mins after heavy meals.
Clinically proven to reduce glucose spikes.

Bello: So person fit enjoy December food without fear fear o

Zainab: Of course!
Eat mindfully, portion your food, and don’t punish yourself.
Holiday no be war, na strategy and balance.

“Your allergy didn’t attack you… Bello’s spoon did.”

Bello: Zainab, abeg explain this thing. My cousin react after eating jollof wey no even get peanut inside. How that one happen?

Zainab: Bello, that’s classic cross-contamination. The food itself may be innocent, but something wey touch allergen before fit transfer am. Even small peanut dust fit cause wahala.

Bello: But na just tiny crumbs na. E fit still trigger reaction?

Zainab: Very easily. Let me break the science small.
People with allergies get an over-reactive immune system. Their body sees a harmless protein like peanut, milk, egg, seafood as a danger signal.
Once IgE antibodies recognise that protein, dem go fire alarm sharply like US army.

So even microscopic residue on a spoon, chopping board, oil, or someone’s hand fit activate the whole immune army.

Bello: Chai! So na why some people dey react even when dem no taste the allergen directly?

Zainab: Exactly. If the same knife wey cut bread with peanut butter later cuts fruit…
If the same frying oil dey used for fish and then for plantain…
If suya man use one brush for everything…
If plates no rinse well…
All those little transfers fit trigger a big reaction.

Bello: Zainab, this one no get joke at all. Cross-contamination fit look small but cause big problem.

Zainab: True. Protecting people with allergies na teamwork o.. home, restaurants, schools, everybody. Once you manage allergens properly, reactions go drop dramatically.

If you or someone in your home has allergies, don’t wait for another reaction before you get help.
We train families, restaurants, and school kitchens on safe food handling, menu planning, and allergy-friendly cooking.
