Nadya Suleman rose to fame 11 years ago after photographs of her enormous stomach went viral on the internet. Nadya is the mother of eight children and has a total of 14 children.
Nadya Suleman recently celebrated the birthdays of her eight-year-old twins, who became 11 years old. Nadia had six more children at home before giving birth to the eight.
The mother has just begun sharing moments from their lives on social media, while also enforcing the children’s nutrition. Nadya is the sole provider for her children, and she has to cook a large amount of food every day.
She taught her children to eat vegan, allowing them “junk food” one day a week as part of her healthy lifestyle.
Nadya Suleman, 45, is a healthy mother who never imagined having such a huge family, despite admitting that she has always wanted numerous children.
“On a typical day, my family and I are asked what we eat. First and foremost, I must state that being vegan is not more expensive; rather, purchasing plant-based healthy meals in bulk is more cost effective. Because you are paying for convenience, processed goods are more expensive. We avoid manufactured foods because they are harmful and contain a lot of synthetic additives (just because something is vegan doesn’t mean it’s healthy). We cook from scratch every day (Nariyah and Maliyah are gradually taking over as head chefs because they enjoy cooking! ), and we only eat vegan packaged “junk” once a week, which I will discuss in another post. Aside from spices, the idea is to consume foods with ingredients that are entirely made up of the food itself. You’d be astonished to learn that basic, natural foods like potatoes, beans, quinoa, and rice (not to mention green leafy vegetables) contain more vitamins, minerals, and protein than any animal product, and that they may also be delicious!
The second photo shows the preparation (all of the food is organic and washed with organic veggie wash first): -yellow onions and gold potatoes: After adding a little spring water to the trays, onion powder, garlic powder, Himalayan salt, and black pepper, roast in the oven (we eyeball all measurements).
-sweet mashed potatoes: simply boil till soft in spring water (never use tap as it becomes more toxic when boiled). Mix it up (we prefer to keep the skin to preserve more vitamins). Nothing more than a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg, as they are naturally sweet.
-Dried black beans and dried rainbow beans, prepared separately but in the same manner: Depending on the amount of food cooked (we make a lot of bags a day!) For four bags, we dice two large onions. Soak dry beans in spring water for a few hours (we soak overnight). Boil the beans and onions in fresh water, then season with onion and garlic powder and Himalayan salt to taste. -baby spinach and kale salad: avocado, fresh lemon, chopped onion, bell pepper, onion and garlic powder, dash of salt and black pepper in a salad “dressing” Combine fresh baby spinach and kale in a mixing bowl and serve!”

“I hope to motivate those who are battling with their own fitness journey by sharing some of my fitness history.
Since discovering the gym in 1991, I’ve learnt the importance of channeling stress, rage, emotional pain, and other negative emotions into working out. My go-to stress reliever has been the stairmaster, set to 99 minutes (the highest it goes), no trainer, just my mind on “go.” I continue above 99 minutes if I do not reach 10 miles (at least 500 floors). For the past 29 years, I’ve been climbing roughly 45-50 kilometers per week while also doing modest weights.
Working out regularly has been a priority for me for decades because it gives me the mental and physical power, stamina, and endurance I need to be the best mom I can be. I’ve been in a wheelchair and unable to care for my family since the octuplet pregnancy shattered both my back and ribs. If I didn’t work out, I’d be wheelchair bound and unable to care for my family.
If you have a healthy habit that helps you be more productive, protect it; fight for it; and NEVER GIVE IT UP!
Unfortunately, because it contradicted their predetermined octo-caricature construct, the media hid this fact about the actual me.
I returned to regular activities (core workouts, light weights, and walking 5-10 miles a day, dragging and pushing kids in wagons and/or strollers) DAYS after giving birth to EVERY child, including the octuplets, and to the gym WEEKS afterwards. My active lifestyle, I believe, has played a big role in maintaining and developing my mental and physical health.

Though genetic predisposition for athleticism may play a role (my father was a boxer from Jerusalem, Palestine; my mother, despite growing up as a WW2 refugee, was a champion runner who was given the opportunity to leave her family and train for the German Olympics), I believe our overall health and fitness level is influenced far more by our lifestyle.
We parents set the tone for our children’s future health by setting an example. I opted to impart the value of health and fitness in my children by modeling the lifestyle I want them to emulate.”
