As soon as I mention I lost 7 inches in 3 weeks, first question every woman has been asking me "What diet are you on?"Well, simply put, it's not a diet: it's just being a healthy, clean eater.
Luckily for me, this new plan works perfect for two reasons:
1. Overeating and waiting to eat one or two big meals a day makes me sick to my stomach. 5 small meals is perfect for my stomach.
2. Eating unhealthy, rich and cream dishes makes me sick to my stomach! Clean and simple eating has made my stomach much more happy with me.
So, simple enough, here's my plan.
1. Eat 4-5 meals a day, consisting of 200-300 calories.
2. NEVER workout on an empty stomach.
3. No alcohol.
4. No dairy except yogurt
5. TONS OF WATER! No juice, but I have been having coffee (with almond milk and cinnamon of course)
6. Always having my meals ready and prepared so no excuses!!
So, my basic day looks something like this!!!
Meal 1: 1 cup almond milk, 2/3 cup blueberries, 1 tbsp protein powder (spirulina at the momento!)
Workout: 10 min skip warmup, 45 min weight training, 10-15 min stretch (the yogi in me needs this!)
Meal 2: 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup cut up apple, 2 tbsp walnuts, 1 tsp honey ORRRRR better yet (my favorite) 1 cup Kashi go-lean crunch (SO GOOD!!!), 1 tbsp flax seeds, 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen, no sugar added), and 2/3 cup almond milk.
Meal 3: whole grain pita with sliced turkey (no additives, natural), romaine lettuce or spinach, cucumber, mushrooms, tomato, peppers, mustard, onion
Meal 4: nutrition bar, mixed nuts, apple, or something else smaller
Meal 5: grilled chicken salad with oil & balsamic vinegar: walnuts or pecans, cucumber, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes...basically any veggies I have on hand OR something like grilled salmon and sweet potato or asparagus.
