      Dedication

      To my mother, Lynett, who never let me settle for less, who guided me to greatness, and who has sacrificed to support me. I thank you and love you.

      To my one and only son, Kaís. You are my world, and I push myself to make a better world for you and your future family to live in. You should want for nothing but understand that the true testament of a man is not what he has but what he gives.

      To my Caribbean family. This book is for anyone born in the Caribbean, of Caribbean descent, or who just loves Caribbean food and culture. We as a people are full of life, energy, spontaneity, creativity, and love. We can make something beautiful from nothing. As a community, I want us to not only survive but to thrive. Being our best, challenging ourselves to reach higher levels, and never giving up are our strong points. However, to take on such a great task, we, my fellow bredredin and sistren, need to prioritize our health. Your health is your wealth. Success can only come from performing at your best, and to be your best, you should make time to take care of yourself. This book is here to show you that with simple lifestyle adjustments, you don’t need to make time. Changing your mindset around food and exercise and consciously making healthier decisions while living your best life can be incorporated into your busy lifestyle. Thank you for taking time to read this book, as it’s your first step to becoming the best you. In addition, you are supporting me on this journey of helping each Caribbean person achieve a healthier life. I am here to motivate you, guide you, and provide you a roadmap to success. As Trinidadians say, Together we aspire. Together we achieve.
