Since I’ve been watching this French girl on YouTube doing her diet stuff I’ve decided to get skinny like a French girl.
Here are 10 things I’ve found in her videos
1. Keep breakfast small. A simple coffee (not a latte, no sugar) + a biscotti or other light food is all you need.
2. The biggest meal of the day is in the middle of the day for lunch.
3. Dinner is light as well—a salad, or soup.
4. Walk absolutely EVERYWHERE you can.
5. Don’t cut out specific foods/food groups for long periods of time or you’ll end up binging them.
6. Only eat out 1-2 times a week—even grabbing a coffee counts. Cook all your own meals at home or wait until you get home to eat.
7. Weigh yourself 1x a week and count calories.
8. During a fast, weigh yourself everyday.
9. Eat slow & thoughtfully without distractions. Don’t eat in front of the TV or scrolling through your phone.
10. Plating— veggies/fruit should take up 1/2 of your plate, protein should take up 1/4, carbs should take up 1/8 and fat should take up 1/8. If you want more carbs, take away the portion for fat.
I LOVE STARVING FUCKKKKK. i just love it so much. i hate it but i love it. i feel so much prettier when i’m starving. i know i look better when i don’t eat, it’s a FACT. i don’t know how i’m ever gonna have a “healthy” relationship with food damn.
-If you're a beginner learning how to fast, start with a 24-hour goal: Eat dinner, and then refrain from eating until the next night. Be sure to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and plan your fast for a non-training day.Eat less at the end. Build up gradually after you break your fasting to avoid feeling sick and stomach aches.
-Do not think of food. When your hungry stomach begins sending “feed me” signals to your brain, don’t let your brain dwell on the fact that you have not eaten. Say no to your stomach and turn your attention to something else.stay as busy as possible so that you won’t remember you haven’t eaten.
-Do not feast when breaking the fast. It can be extremely tempting to celebrate by consuming a huge meal after fasting. This will only leave you feeling bloated. If you want to lose weight, this will halt your weight loss journey.If you eat an unusually large meal after your fast day, you may end up feeling tired and bloated. Try easing gently back into your normal food routine instead.
-Stop eating after dinner (8 p.m. at the latest).
-Skip breakfast, enjoy your black coffee or tea, and fast until noon.
-Break your fast with a low-carb lunch.
-If you need a snack, make it light.
-Eat a healthy dinner, then start the fast again.
-Use supplements. Eating fewer calories means that your body could miss out on important nutrients. So, take supplements such as iron, calcium, vitamin B12. You can consider taking a multivitamin pill to give you all the necessary nutrients.
-if you can’t run/hate running, walk! Long distance walking is still really good for you and can burn a lot of c@ls.
-if you feel like you’re about to b!nge, watch a mukbang. If you can find one that includes the f00d you were about to eat, even better. This honestly takes your mind off of actually doing it. Instead of feeling bad about yourself with a b!nge, take that time to watch a mukbang instead.
-find a new sport or exercise that you actually enjoy. It is possible!! I really really recommend roller skating!!! It’s super fun and you don’t realize how many calories it burns. Also swimming!! Super fun full body workout that burns more than you think.
-CANNED SOUP esp. chicken noodle. A whole can usually has about 140 c@|or1es and is very filling! Plus it’s tasty :)
-if you’re gonna binge, put LOADS of hot sauce on it or too much salt so you don’t want it anymore
-Splenda in coffee instead of cane sugar! (It’s 0 c@|0ries)
-make a c@|0rie calendar to stay motivated
-browse for clothes in your g0al s1ze! it’ll make you more motivated to get there. Shein let’s you see reviews by size, and i look at the people on there for inspiration
- research the nutrition facts of fast food places just in case you h a v e to go out bc you’re with friends/family etc. and have a meal planned/calculated
-if you have a dog, that’s a great excuse for going out on long walks. Especially if the dog isn’t in shape!
-use some celebs for insp1rati0n, rather than random insta models to seem less suspicious
-i actually love having a sc@|e. it helps motivate you if you got closer to your GW, or pushes you to try if you haven’t
-i use an app for tracking my c@|0ri3 intake. this helps a LOT with b!ng!ng and preventing it from happening (i use Lifesum)
-if you do track your c@|or!es, track 50 calories above what you actually consume. this helps with r3stricting. i do it to trick myself that im over my limit.
-also track what you’re gonna eat before you actually do. it helps you plan out your day and see how much you’re gonna consume for the day
-it sounds corny, but find new hobbies! i took up some video games, and found a new love for going on walks and stuff. it genuinely distracts you from going over your limit.
-try off brand f00ds!! they’re usually cheaper, taste very similar to name brands, and can have lower c@|or!es.
-if you’re afraid of diet sodas, try club soda/sparkling water! some come with flavors and they’re mostly all 0-5 c@l.
-get a job? that sounds easier said than done. but if possible, it helps you with f4sting. that gives you 6+ hours away from home, and for me at least it helps me not to b!nge.
i used these and lost 15 lbs since the last week of March :,) it is possible!!
