STORY TIME
Variant Nutrition began with a simple desire: I wanted to lose weight without giving up my favorite treats like donuts, ice cream, and cookies.
Hi, I'm Dustie
RAW DOUGH, RAW POWER!
In 2019, facing weight concerns for the first time, I received a pre-diabetic diagnosis. Though I hadn't dealt with significant weight gain before, I suddenly found myself struggling with cravings, hunger pangs, and sustaining progress.
Recognizing my diet needed a change and drawing on my experiences competing in bikini fitness, where restrictive dietary choices are the norm, I realized I wasn't willing to make all the same sacrifices because a rice cake is not a treat!
A SWEET JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
Despite trying various high-protein, low-calorie options, many felt like sad substitutes. So, I rolled up my sleeves, flexed, and got busy in the kitchen, creating a better-for-you, more satisfying, and downright tasty treat—cookie dough.
My boyfriend (Derek ⬇️) and I enjoyed cookies almost every night, making my diet so much more enjoyable. I ended up losing 35 pounds, while he unintentionally dropped 20 pounds.
So Strong
BECOMING DOUGH DEALERS
As athletes, we were not only thrilled to have found our new protein-packed snack, but the positive changes in our bodies were undeniable.
The joy and satisfaction we experienced with our guilt-free treats were contagious, and Derek, inspired by my transformation, encouraged me to extend my tasty discovery beyond our own lives. And together, we wanted to show others a variant way to eat.
Born from a personal journey to find balance, our mission is to help people achieve success by satisfying cravings and supporting their goals through every delicious bite.
It's about finding that sweet spot, so you can achieve balance without sacrificing life's sweet pleasures—a healthier, happier you. After all, a healthy life is a life truly savored.
