In 2009, Kevin Curry embarked
on a weight-loss journey, chang-
ing his eating habits and also
adding exercise. By 2012, he
reached his goals and started a
blog, “FitMenCook,” to share pre-
and post-workout snacks and
meals like Tex-Mex Shakshuka
and Orange Salmon Succotash
Power Bowls. Today, Kevin’s
website, app and cookbook
motivate others to transform
their lives too.

After Alice Choi’s fi rst daugh-
ter was born, preparing fresh,
homemade food became a pri-
ority for her. It also led Alice to
discover that she loved cooking!
Now, she’s often in the kitchen
with her daughters, ages 8 and
11, and sharing veggie- packed,
kid-friendly dinners on her blog,
YouTube and Instagram. You’ll
want to check out her fabulously
healthy boards too (like the
