Inspired by Thinspmepretty’s diet. 

1.) No fast food or sugary treats. (and YES- pizza counts as fast food.) If you are just dying for something sweet, reach into that freezer and suck on some frozen fruit. 

2.) Workout 6-7 days a week. (20-30 minutes of cardio and 10 of strength is all it takes. Although, more is encouraged!) never eat an hour before or after your exercise, you will end up only burning what you just ate instead of actual fat. 

3.) Meals.
BREAKFAST - [Healthy Cereal, Granola & yogurt, or fiber waffles]- Eat a fiber packed breakfast within a half hour of waking up (fiber clings to fat and takes it to the toilet.) Drink 8oz of Black Coffee with your breakfast, it promotes bowel movement -add soymilk if you can’t stand the taste, and add ice cubes! your body burns calories by heating yourself up after a cold beverage. This entire meal should be anywhere from 200 calories to 300. Start your day off right!
LUNCH - [Healthy Soup (between 100 & 150 cals)] - make lunch your biggest meal (that’s what they do in England, and look how skinny they are!) & drink Green Tea while eating, it fastens your metabolism & drinking warm fluids WHILE eating, helps determine how full you really are. I like to add mixed vegetables into the soup if I’m feeling extra hungry.
DINNER - [Salad or Fruit] should be something light. But most importantly drink 16-20oz (or a full water bottle) of water an hour before you go to bed.

4.) Try to count calories. I know, it seems hard, but it’s really easy. Everything is either on the package, or online. Including most restaurants. (Calculate your BMR through the internet & take that number minus 500 [factor in exercise & how many calories you burn] as long as your intake is less than this number (even by 1 calorie-so don’t beat yourself up if you mess up one day) then you are losing weight!) 

-this is one of my favorite websites to calculate body fat- http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html

5.) Try to only eat out once a week, max. And before you choose a restaurant, go online and look at their website for nutrition information. If you have reservations or a specific time that you are planning on eating, then eat a small healthy snack right before, it will help you choose a healthier entree on the menu if you’re not STARVING!

6.) CUT SODIUM! This is the secret to shedding belly chub and love handles. Most canned food has FAR too much sodium- so stay away.

7.) Eat fresh fruits and veggies if you feel the urge to snack. Make your own fruit juice popsicles, they are a great alternative to ice cream. Or frozen fruit!

8.) Only drink water, hot tea and coffee. (It helps speed up metabolism!) Remember: Drinking tea while eating helps monitor your actual fullness, leaves you less likely to over eat or binge & feel the need to purge (Tip-Oolong tea is a weight loss tea…that actually WORKS!)

9.) Everything you make must be made on the stove or in the oven (microwave food is often packed with crap)

10.) Take 2-3 Vitamins a day. (your choice. I personally use Hair, Skin & Nails - you can literally buy them anywhere) 

11.) Never eat anything while watching TV. (Cheat Tip-wait till commercials and mute it) Chances are, if you’re eating food and you’re watching TV, you’re not going to enjoy it as much as if you were to focus on everything that you are eating. In the end, you will feel more satisfied)

12.) And..last but not least. Allow yourself ONE cheat item a WEEK. Knowing that you can indulge in one craving, will help you in the long run by keeping you on track. You’ll be less likely to binge & purge. 

AS OF OCTOBER 1st:

I am vegan. I don’t eat any sugar after my work out. I work out directly after breakfast (usually around noon). I don’t eat after 9:00. I am in bed by midnight. I don’t eat any noodle carbs after 4:00. By sugar I mean natural sugars, not candy or ice cream or anything of that sort. I barely ever eat sugar though. I never eat bread. Even though it is my extreme weakness, it’s a no no. 

Breakfast: half cup of PLAIN oatmeal with almond milk and cinnamon with raspberries. (and sometimes tea)

Lunch: This usually changes from day to day. But I’ll have some noodles, soup, guacamole or tamale’s. It’s basically whatever is healthiest within reach.

Dinner: Salad. Salad. Salad. With tofu and beans or whatever I want in it (that’s healthy of course). This is usually when I consume all of, if not most of my protein.

Oh and I don’t drink anything but tea and water. & in between meals I snack on non-salted Almonds. 

Biggest Rule: Fiber in the morning. Noodle carbs within an hour or two of working out (if desired). Protein after working out. Water, always.

I don’t eat, eggs, cow’s milk, butter, cheese, bread, sweets, meat, seafood. And I don’t restrict. I am always content, never hungry.

Now, I don’t expect anyone to go cold turkey on this diet, because most likely it won’t stick. I have gone through a ton of phases to get to the point where I am. Literally, everything you can imagine. But for some reason, this one - just feels right.
