What changed? Well, I have outlined the key things I incorporated to start seeing such welcomed progress:
1) I started morning fasting. I now only eat from 12pm! I can drink a cup of sugar-free tea or some apple cider vinegar with ginger but that’s it.
2) I work out consistently but focus more on fat-burning exercises versus cardio. Follow Brittnebabe for at-home exercises! I do mostly her workouts and boy oh boy do you feel the burn.
3) I log every single thing I eat via the Lose It app and ensure to keep my daily calorie consumption at 1,500 calories or less.
4) I limit sugars
5) Probably the most important of all- I joined a Whatsapp group to keep me accountable and motivated! Over 100 of you have already expressed interest in joining the next 8-week session, which is awesome!
On a day-to-day basis, I typically have some form of either broccoli or spinach stir fry (with mushrooms and sometimes sweet potatoes) and a fruit and veggie smoothie. For dinner, I would have either a fruit and vegetable blend (spinach, carrots, broccoli, mango, pineapple and banana for example) or I may have a chick pea stew or a stuffed large bell pepper or even an omelette filled with vegetables. If I crave pancakes over the weekend, then I make some protein pancakes. I only consume Greek yogurt and gave up cereals, rice, potatoes, pasta, fufu etc. Those are loaded with excess carbs which get converted to sugars and stored as fat in the body.
Mind you, I shall not be doing this every single day for the rest of my life but I do intend to incorporate most of what I’m doing for most days of my life because I feel better, seem to have less fiborid pain (*prayers up*) and I look damn good, haha.The Ankara Queen
