Pretty Girl’s Diet Flashcards v.2
I’ve edited and re-released some Tips with more research and meat. Easy 20 tip installments. Get to memorizing! v.2 has tips 20-40.

—–
So, you’ve decided to start your diet! You’re one step closer to a beautiful petite frame! Try to read up on helpful diet tips, and remember, every pretty girl has to start somewhere!
—–
Eat slowly. Put on a timer and shoot for 20 min. if you eat faster, you may be full before your body can realize. Twenty minutes is almost exactly the time it takes for your stomach to produce the hormone Peptide YY3-36, or the FULL hormone, and send it to the brain. So go slow and let your body catch up with your mouth
Thinspo is your best friend. Make a personal blog, pintrest or notebook with posts or cut outs. Make it small enough to be able to take anywhere. Some people will even keep a small photo in their wallet or car to help with impulse food buying.
Chew sugar-free gum or suck on mints. They curb your appetite and keep your mouth busy. What a lot of dieters struggle with oral fixation. Try sucking on your inner cheek, even. Sucking on your cheek can also help you keep track of your weight loss. I know when I am gaining weight by how chubby my cheeks are. An easy reminder on your progress.
When you feel the urge to eat, start by drinking a cup or two of water. Some cravings or hunger pains are just your body telling you that you are thirsty or dehydrated. Something with sodium, potassium and a little sugar like Lite Gatorade is great for a in-between meal supplement.
If you are going to eat dinner, have a snack 20 minutes before. Curb your huge appetite. Or, at dinner, try to eat all the vegetables first. Clear soup is a great appetizer to fill you up, first.
Exercise in things that make you feel fat. Even underwear! Motivate yourself WITH yourself! Also, try to workout near a mirror. Look and concentrate on your problem areas and keep them exposed.
Eating five walnuts or eight almonds (approximately 65 calories) stimulates production of cholecystokinin, a hormone that slows your stomach from emptying. Not all nuts are made the same, so stick with these two.
If you’re feeling super starved, eat a handful of popcorn or sugar-free jello. Anything that expands should be a go-to food. Although they have many calories, starches like popcorn and Grits work like sponges, taking up room in your stomach. If you haven’t tried dry chia seeds in your diet, go get some TODAY. Eat them dry so that they expand in your stomach.
Try to only eat in one room of your house. Subconsciously, you’ll start to think about eating only in that one area. Make good psychological habits! This is an extremely important to remember because you can create eating habits even when you’re doing other things. Example: if you like to snack on something crunchy when you watch T.V or drive- every time you watch something or are in a car, you will get a craving. ONLY EAT IN ONE ROOM, AND DO NOTHING ELSE. Focus on eating, instead.
Keep a food journal or diary. It is a pain, I know, but if you publish it, and make it so others can see, it can be a great tool for motivation. Make others keep you accountable. You need to keep track of your calories and choices. Use this to help pinpoint WHY you eat as well. Were you bored or upset, and that made you binge?
Drink ice cold water. Your body has to burn calories to keep you body temperature up! This works in all sorts of ways! Cold showers, cold compresses on your problem areas- anywhere! Try to be cold often.
Throw away all clothes that are too big for you – don’t keep them for “just in case”.The more you allow yourself to forget about your weight the less goal oriented you become! Constant diligence! Really look at your body and make a clear choice to become better.
When you are hungry, boil or microwave water and put a chicken or beef broth cube in. They’re only 15-20 calories. This will give your body sodium, which can be good or bad. If you haven’t had any in a while, its great to satisfy your cravings and stay in balance. Too much sodium and your body will begin to retain water and bloat. Just be mindful!
Put a mirror in front of your refrigerator or pantry. A long one! Or just try to stay away from your kitchen. Make a room a safe room, and try to stay entertained in there.
Drink water with the juice of one lemon before every meal. Citrus shrinks your stomach and is a natural appetite suppressant. You can get this effect from fresh fruits or even citrus mints or couch drops. Add citrus to your hot tea.
When in restaurants, ONLY order off the appetizer menu, and ONLY eat half of it. For example, if you order an appetizer of chicken wings, only eat 3 of the 6. This is a great way to keep you portions small. You need to stay away from anything with high carbs. Stick with protein and veggies.
When eating at home, eat your meals on tiny plates. It’s all about portion control. he tinier the plates, and tinier the utensils you use, the more you THINK you’re eating. You’re eyes are bigger than your stomach. Good Luck Pretty Girl! ♥ Flashcards V.1 | Flashcards V.2 | Flashcards V.3

Pretty Girl’s Diet Flashcards v.3
I’ve edited and re-released some Tips with more research and meat. Easy 20 tip installments. Get to memorizing! v.3 has tips 40-80.

—–
So, you’ve decided to start your diet! You’re one step closer to a beautiful petite frame! Try to read up on helpful diet tips, and remember, every pretty girl has to start somewhere!

Brush your teeth frequently – at least 3-4 times a day. Snacks will be gross. Anything minty will work if you are out and about or can’t reach a sink. Also, not eating for long periods of time will cause halitosis. Try to keep saliva production up with small minty breaks in your fast.
My favorite skinny tip is sugar-free jello! It’s a great snack AND sugar-free way to consume alcohol, too! Why take a sugary chaser, or make a sugary drink to hide the alcohol taste, when the jello tastes great with no added sugar! For a better jello-shot, make it with half the recommended liquid. Example: If the recipe calls for 2 cups of liquid, start with ½ cup regular water and bring to a boil (or use microwave). Once dissolved, sir in ½ cup chilled vodka (or any alcohol) for the rest of the liquid. You have made THICK concentrated jello flavor and vodka! 1 cup of jello now has ½ cup vodka and tastes great! That’s at least 4 shots!
Drink some APPLE cider vinegar – it curbs your appetite, speeds up metabolism and detoxes your liver and basically flushes you out. If you find it hard to drink, mix it with water or flavor it with suagr-free drink mix like MIO. Drinking it too much or in high concentration may make you feel sick, so be cautious.
One thing to help you lose weight fast is to detox. You ca detox with all sorts of things like Hot Dandelion tea, Laxatives, or any store-bought detox pill. Try detoxing with Lemons/limes, grapefruit, cucumber, cinnamon, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, Aloe, ginger, iron, riboflavin, french green clay, etc.
Eat what you crave OCCASIONALLY. For example, if you are craving chocolate cake don’t buy an entire chocolate cake –Instead, buy a single serving piece and only eat half. It’s important to make sure you get a craving out of your system, so you don’t binge. You can even plan out your crave food , so you have something to look forward to. Example: every other Tuesday you have half of a donut, or once a month you can have a milkshake.
A good rule is to limit yourself to one to three bites of anything you crave. (see above)
I just wanted to mention something that is really important for me and really helps resist temptation. Always look your best, always have your hair exactly how you want it and keep reapplying your make up through the day. Have your whole outfit perfect, whether your a goth girl or preppy or whatever. Always project a perfect image of who you are. Don’t skip your morning shower, or rush your make up. Getting up early to do these preparations will help you burn more calories anyway. When you feel perfectly presented, you won’t want to ruin that image by stuffing your face. You will feel more and more like perfection as you get better at presenting this perfect image, and as you get thinner. This goes for your room too, keep everything tidy and in its place. This helps with your control issues and gives you something active to do. When people notice this controlled perfection about you, they won’t care if you don’t eat much or often. They will see it as part of who you are, and be jealous that they don’t have the same self-control.
Wear spanks and waist trainers to help sculpt your body. Try to wear them when you work out, or when you know you will be active. If you can, wear them around the house or to sleep. Your body will store fate anywhere you begin to ignore, so a good tight fitting garment will keep your body from bloating and gaining weight.
Exercise the first thing in the morning. Every morning. It gets your metabolism pumped up for the day. Have coffee after to avoid exercise hunger pains. Yoga and meditation is a great way to focus your goals for the day and wake up your muscles. always try to stretch to make muscle growth lean and even.
Whenever you feel hungry, try to visualize that gnawing feeling in your stomach in problem areas like your thighs. Imagining your fat being burned away will help give you motivation and to not eat for longer periods of time.
Whenever you start to reach for that little snack you’re craving, admire your skinny parts. You’ve worked so hard!“
COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE! It is a well known appetite suppressant.
Drinking not enough water can hamper your weight loss efforts. That’s because dehydration can slow your metabolism by 3 percent, or about 45 few calories burned a day, which in a year could mean weighing 5 pounds more.
ALWAYS number your bites! For example, say, “I’m only gonna eat ____ bites of this.” And make them small. Try not to chew too much. Half of digestion is breaking down the food, and making your body work HARDER to digest food is always a great thing!
Find a drink and/or food you dislike that’s low in calories and only snack on those. You’ll snack less. Don’t buy anything you will regret later at the grocery store. You think you will have enough control to not eat it later, but you won’t. Never let an accident happen.
When I feel like eating something I try to imagine the ingredients. Or the chemicals they have. Just read the nutrition label, and cringe at all the synthetic ingredient and chemicals. Imagine yourself as an poisoned and cancerous old person.
Chia seeds, yes like from a Chia pet. Chia seeds, when soaked in any liquid turn into Chia gel. This gel keeps you full for hours, plus Chia seeds are very good for you, they are high in fiber, protein, and lots of vitamins and minerals. Two teaspoons is 70 calories. Try eating them dry so that they expand in your stomach.
One random tip that works great on weekends/at night is to paint your nails when you get one of those won’t go away cravings. Takes forever to dry and you can’t reach for snacks.
If you are having trouble losing those extra 5 pounds, try being a vegetarian or vegan for a while.
Use a skin firming lotion to help tighten up problem areas. I use Jergens® natural glow Firming Daily. Put a large amount on your problem area, then wrap the area in plastic/saran wrap. This will make it set in deep, and help you sweat out any extra bloating water. This is great to do in a hot/plastic/jogging suit! Sweat out those toxins, the bloat water and tighten and brighten the skin! It’s alike a cheap DIY body wrap!
I swear by spinach leaves. One cup has about 7 calories. I find that they fill me up very quickly.
Watch videos on sites like YouTube of people bloating themselves or showing weight gain. It will gross you out.
If you live with your parents or husband (like I do) tell them you’re going to go vegan for charity or for health reasons for a month, two months, or some specific time frame. Not only does this cut out fattening dairy products, but most of what you can eat consists of fruit and vegetables – great for keeping skin nice. It will change the groceries that come home and you can have some support for a while.
I know many people crave to eat something right after their meal, here’s a great tip for them: While you’re making yourself a meal, (washing your salad, steaming your broccoli or whatever), always make a big cup of green tea as well. That way it is good and not too hot when you finished eating. When you drink it right after the meal you completely avoid all the cravings of eating more or having dessert!
Take every chance you can to exercise and burn calories. Fidget whenever your are sitting down, wiggle your foot, tap / clap your hands, play with your pen. Clench your butt muscles, or go up and down on your toes while waiting to cross the roads etc. Stand up whenever you can. Pace up and down while you wait for the bus/ train. Take stairs not the elevator and go up them two at a time. If you walk to work/ school/ the bus stop etc leave later than you need to so you’ll have to rush (which makes your heart beat faster and burns cals). Try to do a walk that takes 20 mins in 10 etc. Every time you go to the bath room do 5 – 10 star jumps or push ups against the door – and drink lots of water so you’ll have to go often
Everyday, I eat about 2 sheets of Sushi Seaweed. Each sheet has only about 10 calories, and recent studies have found that a fibrous material in it, alginate, can reduce the body’s fat retention by 75%.
Good Luck Pretty Girl! ♥

1. Catch the running bug. You’ll continue to burn fat after your jog: People who run for at least four hours a week melt more calories than non-runners, even when they’re not running, a Yale University School of Medicine study reports.
2. Crank it up early. Working out harder during the first half of your workout and taking it easier during the second burns up to 23 percent more fat than doing the opposite, according to a study from The College of New Jersey.
3 & 4. Go hard — and make it quick. Staying at 80 percent of your max heart rate for 40 minutes can amp your metabolism for 19 hours afterward, research published in Obesity notes. And doing a shorter workout at 75 percent of your max aerobic capacity will give you a greater metabolic boost than sweating longer at 50 percent, a Colorado State University reveals.
5 to 7. Lift dumbbells … slowly. More muscle equals mega metabolism boost. Strength training can help you trim major fat, research reveals — and doing super-slow (versus normal speed) reps increases strength by 50 percent.
Plus, using dumbbells activates more muscle fibers than using machines, explains Gregory Haff, Ph.D., an associate professor in the exercise physiology department at West Virginia University.
8. Speed up, slow down. Alternating bouts of high-intensity and low-intensity cardio has been shown to torch pounds.
9. Put on weight (literally). Wearing a weighted vest (about 10 percent of your body weight) while walking can boost your calorie burn by 8 percent.
10. Download Rihanna, not Brahms. Listening to up-tempo songs actually makes you run faster and harder than listening to slower-paced music, British scientists say.
11. Let kettlebells ring. Not only does working out with kettlebells build muscle, but doing it for 20 minutes burns as many calories as running at a 6-minute-mile pace for the same amount of time.
12. Keep it up. As few as 80 minutes a week of aerobic or weight training helps keep you from regaining belly fat after losing weight, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
13. Add poles. Use Nordic poles while you walk, and you’ll burn 20 percent more calories, says research from The Cooper Institute in Dallas.
14 & 15. Lift first, nix the rest. Doing strength training before cardio can torch more fat than cardio alone. And if you do one move after another without pausing, “you’ll see more gains in strength and muscle mass,” says Dr. Pierre Manfroy, M.D., consultant for the book “100 Ways to Supercharge Your Metabolism.”
16. Add pounds. Lift heavier weights for fewer reps to make your workout more intense — and burn more fat — Manfroy says.
17. Try aromatherapy. Exercisers who inhaled strawberry and buttered-popcorn scents torched more calories than those who sniffed neutral odors, according to research from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.
18. Box yourself in. Wii boxing knocks out nearly twice as many calories as some other games, like Wii golf.
19. Kick it. Playing soccer not only torches more fat and builds more muscle than jogging, but it feels less tiring, Danish research reveals.
20. Stay in shape. Fit people have more fat-burning metabolites in their blood than couch potatoes do, scientists say.
IN THE KITCHEN
22. Get more protein. Eating a protein-packed breakfast and lunch helps you burn more post-meal fat than if you eat lower-protein meals, according to Australian research.
23 & 24. Guzzle green tea — or coffee. Downing five 5-ounce cups of green tea a day boosts metabolism, says Lyssie Lakatos, R.D., author of “Fire Up Your Metabolism.” Two cups of coffee will also do the trick, one study shows.
25. Have an omelet. Eating two eggs for breakfast while dieting will help you trim more weight and body fat than if you ate the same amount of calories noshing on a bagel, scientists say.
26. Stay above 1,200 calories… ”The average person’s body goes into starvation mode if she eats fewer than 1,200 calories a day,” says Eric Berg, author of “The 7 Principles of Fat Burning.” “That’s stress, and stress creates more belly fat.”
27. … and cut calories gradually. If you diet, don’t trim more than 250 calories a day. Cutting calories too quickly slows your metabolism down, Dr. Manfroy says.
28 to 33. Munch on these. Almonds, cherries, yogurt, grapefruit, whole grains, and spicy foods have all been shown to torch fat.
34. Fuel up right. Eating a low-glycemic-index breakfast (such as muesli and peaches) will help you burn more fat during a subsequent workout than eating a high-glycemic-index meal (like waffles), researchers from the University of Nottingham reveal.
35. Think before you drink. Sipping as few as 90 calories’ worth of vodka can slow your metabolism by 73 percent, one study shows.
36. Graze. Women who go without eating for long periods are more likely to have higher body-fat percentages than women who nosh more regularly, one study notes.
37. Dine like a Greek. Eating a diet rich in monounsaturated fat (think olive oil, avocados) can help trim both weight and fat, research published in the British Journal of Nutrition shows.
38. Stop gorging. Your body can only handle so much food at a time, so stick to 600 calories or less per meal to maximize fat-burning, says Leslie Cooper, co-author of “Flip the Switch: Proven Strategies to Fuel Your Metabolism and Burn Fat 24 Hours a Day.”
39. Skip juice. Reaching for an apple instead of apple juice is not only better calorie-wise, but it’ll also do a better job of boosting your metabolism, Dr. Manfroy explains.
IN YOUR LIFE
41 & 42. Get C and D. Vitamin C can help you burn more fat, and D may help you lose fat, research notes. Aim for 400 to 500 mg of C and 800 mg of D a day.
43 & 44. Walk more (in denim). Researchers found that fitness-friendly offices (think treadmill desks, mobile headsets) helped people trim pounds and fat, as did wearing jeans to work, since dressing casual encourages you to move more. Wear comfy clothes when you can, pace while on the phone, and stand while chatting with co-workers.
45. Add fish oil (And work out). Taking 6 grams of fish oil per day and hitting the gym three times a week can help nix body fat, an Australian study reveals.
46. Work the day shift. Keeping nontraditional hours lowers levels of hormones that trigger satiety, increases blood glucose and insulin levels, and raises levels of the stress hormone cortisol (which can drive you to eat more), scientists say.
47. Nix the boob tube. Cut your TV time in half, and you’ll burn more calories each day, research from the University of Vermont suggests.
48. Go mental. People who visualized themselves training a specific muscle boosted the strength in that muscle group, researchers found.
49. Eat a smaller dinner. Your body may not digest food — and burn fat — as efficiently if you down a huge meal right before bedtime, especially because your metabolism is slower while you sleep, Dr. Manfroy says.
50. Jump-start your morning. Wake up your metabolism — and get fat-burning started — by doing some sort of exercise within the first few hours of being awake, Cooper suggests.
51. Get your snooze on. Sleep for a solid 81D 2 hours instead of 51D 2, according to research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, and you’ll lose more fat. Sweet dreams!
