Losing weight. I know at least 629852458 women (and some men, too) who'd like to get rid of some kilos. Well, that is my intention too.
But, i am a planning kind of person. Only things that are written down really exist. ( May not apply to e v e r y t h i n g). So, with that in mind, i decided to write down my plan in a notebook (if anyone is interested in how i keep track of my goals, weight loss progress, rules and stuff in my notebook, i will do a post on that as well).
But you didn't come here to hear about my mindset, but to get a one way ticket to weightloss. And i can tell you, this will provide you great results. But, there is one thing left for you (and me as well):
DOING IT!
So, here are the guidelines i set for myself:
Eating lot's of water - rich foods. Which means, lot's of berries, apples, cucumber, you name it - lot's of fruit and vegetables. They help you to fill full immediately, without taking in too many calories. Also eating fiber rich foods to help one feel full for longer.
Buy healthy foods. You won't eat chocolate if there isn't any. You will eat a salad if there is some. Simple as it is.
Also, prepare healthy snacks. Snacking on blueberries or snacking on chips can make a huge difference.
Always, ALWAYS, have gum on hand. It helps you to control your appetite and makes you feel less hungry. Same with....
Green tea. Don't sweeten, as isolated sugar is a) unhealthy and b) comes with extra calories.
Eat mostly plant based. Plants have less calories than the same amount of animal foods. Have less calories simply by switching from steak to tofu. Or to beans. Or salad.
Know hidden calories. Salad = salad? False. Often lot's of calories in the dressing. Opt for lower calorie stuff.
stay in your calorie range. Weight loss is simple:
Calories eaten < calories burned
Keeping a food journal (as i said, i'd show you
mine if there is interest) helps you to keep track of how much you've eaten. I set a certain amount of calories i want to eat daily (and no more).Hasn't she forgotten something? One might ask. And nope. How could i forget about drinking water. You heard it a million times before. I tell you another time. Life's great.
Soooo, this are the food guidelines i set for myself. I will keep you updated whether I was able to stick to them. Also will share my workout/ exercise rules and routine in one of my next posts. Lot's of love and carrots ❤
