A lot of people have been asking on Instagram if
I was going to post about my diet, workout
routine and every other detail to lose weight. Well
ladies, after getting all my pictures together
and the time to sit down and give details,
HERE IT IS ♥ enjoy
I usually wake up at 5:30am and make breakfast.
I try to keep it different every morning so I don't get bored of having
the same thing every single day. Picture #1: 1 cup of blueberry yogurt,
two tbsp of granola, 6-8 blackberries. Picture #2: 2 Whole Wheat
toast, one tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter, one tbsp of sugar free
strawberry jam, 1 cup of green tea. Picture #3: Skinny Vanilla Latte
grande size, half of a whole wheat bagel with 1 tbsp of light cream
cheese. Picture #4: 1 cup of whole wheat or fiber cereal, 1 cup 2%
milk, 1/2 banana. Other options not in the picture: 1 Whole
Wheat English muffin, 1 scrambled egg, 1 slice of low fat cheese, 1
one scrambled egg with mushrooms, sliced red bell pepper and
onions, and 2 tbsp of shredded low fat cheese.
If you work during lunch hours, I recommend you prepare your meal
the night before. Sometimes when we are in a hurry and it's always
better to buy tacos or a hamburger down the street right? Well,
we are trying to avoid that here. Stop being lazy and pack your lunch.
Picture #1: 2 Cups of spinach, 6-10 cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cucumber,
drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Picture #2: 1 cup of brown rice,
1 can of light tuna, 5 cherry tomatoes cut in half, chopped red bell
pepper and onions, salt, pepper, and oregano. Picture #3: 6 beets
cut in half, a handful of sliced carrots, 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp
of vinegar, and grilled chicken breast (the size of your palm)
Picture #4: 2 cups of lettuce, 1 tomato sliced, 4 to 5 croutons, & 2
tbsp of Light Italian dressing. Other options not in the picture:
Subway 6" Turkey Breast Sandwich (add all the veggies you want
like cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, jalapeños, onions,
and two slices of Swiss cheese on Wheat bread - don't add any
dressing, or mayo, or olives, or all the fattening stuff, you can ask
for mustard or sweet onion sauce) OR Health Valley Soup (
HERE)
with a side salad (lettuce or spinach, tomato, olive oil and vinegar)
I usually have 2 small snacks a day: One at 10am and other
one at 4pm Helps to control hunger and keeps my stomach
full until my next meal.
Picture #1: 5 to 6 strawberries, sprinkle one package of Sweet n low
to make them extra sweet with 0 Calories. Picture #2: 1 small or
medium mango. Picture #3: I made Lime Jell-o, Raspberry Jell-o
and Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding - 1 cup. Picture #4: 5 to 6 Broccoli
spears & 2 tbsp of Light Ranch Dressing. Other options not in
the picture: 1 cup of carrots, 2 tbsp of original hummus OR 1
boiled egg with salt & pepper and 5 Reduced fat Wheat Thins.
This is where I usually include most of the protein. Reason being
because I go work out after dinner and I need the energy for a good
performance. Just make sure to have a small meal so you don't
upset your stomach while exercising.
Picture #1: Ihop's Mediterranean Lemon Chicken, broccoli, & potatoes
( I automatically asked for a box and placed half of the meal to go -
it will help you control portions). Picture #2: 1 medium Whole
Wheat tortilla, 1 small grilled chicken breast, 1/2 avocado, red bell
peppers & onions chopped, 1 tbsp of low fat sour cream, asparagus
with dressing (1 tbsp of butter, of soy sauce, and of balsamic
vinegar) Picture #3: 1 cup lettuce, 5 cherry tomatoes, handful
of shredded carrots, olive oil and vinegar, and 4oz of ahi tuna grilled.
