#I only drink 0 calorie and 0 sugar
Text
tfw u show up to the dr appointment and you haven't eaten in like 48 full hours and they ask you about your eating habits and you say you fast pretty often in accident because your stimulant messes up your hunger response
and they just look you up and down clearly not believing you before starting The Weight Loss Conversation™ and get told that fasting will guarantee you weight loss
#God I wish#I've only ever been able to lose weight on extremely low calories#I can lose a bit of weight per week on a sub 800 calorie diet#I can lose weight at the rate expected of most people if I cut it even more#Like if I literally don't eat every other day on sub 800#Neither of those are sustainable#And they usually end up with me binging like the fat person people think I am#I'm currently maintaining my weight#I only drink 0 calorie and 0 sugar#I eat one meal a day at around the 1000 calorie mark#And I eat a snack around 100-200 calories around 3pm because otherwise I get nauseous#But I'm fat still so no one believes me#Man I've been fat my whole life#Parents put me on diets and shit from the time I entered kindergarten#When I was in third grade and only gaining weight they decided this wasn't working#And started making me just skip meals#Until I was 12 or 13 they fed me the same size portions I fed the 5 year olds when I worked at a daycare#I remember learning what kind of foods the kids at school hated at the lunch line#So I would have something to eat at lunch#Or I remember scrounging around for quarters so I could actually buy some food#I remember church having pizza parties and catering events#And overeating to the point of vomiting#Only to clean up and eat more because I didn't know how long it would be#Even as a teenager#Parents would order out getting nice steak meals#And not get me anything when there's nothing even at home to eat#Sometimes they'd eat out and they'd come back with like half a chicken breast and a pile of veggies for me#Most of my childhood I barely thought of the weight aspect#I just knew I was hungry and needed to figure out how to get food#As a teen I started eating like they said because I was ashamed and it still didn't make me lose weight

 ♡ PRETTIER HIERARCHY ♡
HAPPY 1.2k+ TO PRETTIEINPINK! Thank you guys for the support, here’s a lil gift from me to you. 
Tumblr media
If you don’t want to read all of this, I created a hierarchy of everything you need to do to glow up, right at the end!!! But I recommend reading everything first <3
I’ve been trying to ‘glow up’ like forever, but there was no actual content out there that helped me glow up. Most people sugarcoated, or their lifestyles of glowing up just weren't sustainable for me. So, I created this post for everyone planning to glow up or maximise their prettiness! 
DISCLAIMER – THIS POST IS NOT DETAILED. I wanted to do a simple outline to give you guys an idea of what to do to maximise your pretty. A little help to plan, especially as we enter 2024, but I’ll expand on these individual topics in the future. 
GRADE 1 – HEALTH
Being healthy can make you SO pretty. Being healthy is the foundation. There are other ways to be physically healthy, but after doing these 4 the rest usually fall in place.  Here are some simple ways to become healthier, and then eventually prettier!
HEALTHY EATING.
 I'm not going to go super deep into this, as no diet fits everyone + Please consult with your doctor before taking any extreme advice. Though, I'll tell you a bit of things that helped me !!
Stop drinking soda. Please, it's so unhealthy and it's full of so many sugars. Even the ones that are 0 cal, have weird chemicals that I don't trust. Many more alternatives taste just as good, like coconut water, herbal drinks, smoothies etc! Especially because nowadays most large calories and sugar intakes are from sugary drinks 
Stop restricting, moderate it. I am a big fan of dairy, yoghurt, milk, and cheese, I love it all. However I acknowledge that dairy isn’t the healthiest, so instead I always ensure I'm eating in moderation. E.g I put a tablespoon of shredded cheese in my omelettes instead of a handful. You will enjoy healthy eating so much, but only if you're not restricting. 
Have one serving of fruit, vegetables, or both with each meal. It provides so many good nutrients, makes you fuller and keeps you hydrated. Measure with your palm to ensure you’re eating enough. 
Know that just because one food has fewer calories than the other, does not mean it is the healthiest. I struggled so much with this, especially because many weight loss accounts will mention this, but it is so wrong. White bread has fewer calories than brown bread, but brown bread is higher in nutritional value. 
Plan snacks. Planning snacks for throughout the day, instead of spontaneously eating is so much better. I recommend this for anyone who gets hungry during the day but not enough for a meal (like me!)
Drink more water. Not 1L a day, because it is so much more ideal for you to have a glass of water with each meal + when you feel thirsty. 
Start educating yourself. This is as much as I can tell you, im not a nutritionist or a dietitian but if you plan to ensure that healthy eating becomes your lifestyle, educating yourself is essential!! 
EXERCISING.
Once again, I'm only going to go surface level with this because it is only based on my personal experience + Consult with your doctor before doing anything extreme. 
Start aiming for 5k+ steps. I see a lot of people advertise 10k+ steps as the standard, or what's active, but it's not sustainable If you're a busy person with a sedentary life or a beginner at exercise it is gonna be hard to sustain that. But walking is so good for you and simple too.
Join your local sports! Such a fun way to socialise while still exerting energy. 
If you can't do that for whatever reason, there are many ways to exercise at home. Research and pick a workout that you like and is sustainable. E.g. jump rope, pilates, home exercises, weightlifting, biking
Start standing more, it exerts energy. While very little, it still is very good. 
That's it, but remember to always start small with exercising, and RESEARCH!
BETTER SLEEP
To me, it doesn’t matter how much sleep a person is getting, but much more rather the quality of said sleep. So, here are some tricks and tips to get better at sleeping!!
Investing in a good quality pillow is so good for your sleep, the more comfortable you are, the better + it reduces the chances of poor posture or hump necks 
Research about different sleeping positions, as some positions at night promote back pain, difficulty breathing or poor posture. 
Start sleeping in complete darkness. Remove all sources of light or invest in good light-blocking curtains OR binders. Though, binders seem to be much more effective but are more pricey. If you cannot do either of that, buy a good sleeping mask. 
Sleep in the cold. Your body easily falls asleep if your environment is cold, and you’re less likely to wake up in the middle of the night. 
It is ideal for you to stop using devices an hour or two before bed, but if it is not sustainable for you, wear red blue-light-blocking glasses instead of clear ones. Red ones are more effective. 
Avoid large physical or mental tasks before bed, use that time to unwind and tell your body it's time to go to sleep. 
Avoid napping for longer than 30 minutes, or it can disrupt the sleep you have at night. 
Go to sleep at similar times every day. If you go to sleep earlier or later than this, you will ruin your sleep schedule and feel groggy. 
I expand more here. 
ORAL HEALTH
This is a step many people will neglect, but the most important in my opinion. Your teeth are the only body part that fails to regenerate after a certain age. Here's how I take care of mine!
Brush your teeth for longer. Brushing your teeth should not be a sped-up process, put actual thought into it. 
Start flossing. Floss removes plaque, and reduces the chances of your teeth yellowing! Do this ideally after each meal.
Brush your teeth before you eat. Brushing my teeth is the first thing I do when I wake up because brushing your teeth is supposed to protect your teeth from the food, not wash away your food. 
If you have the means, buy an electric toothbrush, as this gets in the little nooks and crannies that a regular one cannot. 
Use a tongue scraper or your toothbrush to get rid of any bacteria on your tongue. 
Use straws to drink coffee or any heavily coloured drinks. This avoids the premature yellowing of teeth. Make sure you put the straw on the side of your mouth to avoid your teeth. 
Use good mouthwash. A total game-changer, makes your breath fresher and your gums healthier. 
If need be, definitely use a purple teeth serum as a whitening treatment.
GRADE 2: STYLE 
I do not mean literal clothes and style, that's in grade 3. This is all about basic grooming and such. This is 2nd most important, especially if you're somebody who’s never been invested in beauty.
SKINCARE 
Get a basic skincare routine, cleanser and moisturiser.
If you have other skincare concerns e.g. dry skin, hyperpigmentation, acne, or blemishes, invest in a serum. 
Avoid touching your face frequently.
Wash makeup brushes & pillowcases often.
Dermaplaning to help skincare absorb better. 
Use sunscreen!
HAIRCARE
 Invest in a good shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.
Use a good hair oil, it doesn’t have to be for growth, but just for nourishing your scalp
Sleep with a good quality bonnet on.
Find which type of hairbrush works the best on you!
Use warm water to remove product build up and dirt, but use cool water to rinse.
Buy spray suncsreen to put on your scalp during hot weather.
Once again, research. Hair is just too much of a broad topic for me to thoroughly talk about.
EYEBROW & LASHES
Trim your eyebrows regularly to avoid too many stray hairs
Tint your eyebrows and lashes. If you already have dark eyelashes and brows, try a lighter look. I seem to prefer a dark brown look to a black 
Invest in a good lash & brow serum or use any oil
Don't use Vaseline on your eyelashes.
 Limit how much you wear mascara. 
I talk more about this here. 
BODY & HANDS 
Have a daily shower routine which consists of washing, exfoliating and moisturising your skin. 
Using scented products is such a game changer, smelling good is like being a magnet 
Doing manicures, my routine is a cuticle scrub, file, buff, polish, paint then cuticle oil. 
Shave on the areas you want to. Having smooth skin is nice, but to ensure your shave lasts longer, watch a video. 
I post about creating a good shower routine here. 
LIPS
Invest in a good, portable lip balm. I prefer the ones that burn your lips to give it a more fuller effect
Make your lip scrub. Sugar, honey and turmeric are my go-to. Helps remove dead skin.
If you have hyperpigmentation around the lips, use glycolic acid, only a little.
GRADE 3 – FASHION
My favourite grade, because it is so fun and focuses more on the aesthetic side of things. However, they're not essential, which makes it all the more fun!
CLOTHES 
 I have a post about wardrobe essentials here. 
Find out about what season colours you are. This helps with using colours in fashion to enhance. ( if you don't like your colours it is okay, it doesn’t change much if you do not wear them) 
Figuring out your undertone colours for jewellery. 
Figure out what works for your figure. Experiment with necklines, bottom length etc. 
Find out your general style too, what you feel confident in and more assured. 
MAKEUP
Research and only watch tutorials of women who look like you (trust me). 
Dear Peachie has a bunch of videos of how makeup works, for beginners to more advanced artists!
Then make your signature look for every using your knowledge. 
FRAGRANCE 
Invest in a good eau de parfum and eau de toilette. Cheap fragrances suck. 
Invest in a good-scented lotion. My favourite brand is Vaseline.
Using a good nice fabric softener for laundry makes you feel and smell fresh
Using an expensive scented body wash doesn’t matter, invest in a good body lotion. 
HAIR STYLING 
Hairstyles that enhance your face shape, not shield it. 
Having a simple signature look for everyday
Experimenting with your hair is ideal, but if you can't for whatever reason once again research.
GRADE 4 – PERSONALITY
The way you seem to others can make you so much prettier. Fake it till you make it as always~
POSTURE
Having good posture makes you stand out, makes you look prettier and is generally good for your health
Chin is parallel to the floor, shoulders are down and relaxed, rib cage is elevated, pelvis is tucked in, your knees straight and flexed, and the weight on your feet should be in the center.
You can stretch for good posture, there are many videos on this on YouTube.
Ensure your sleeping position is promoting good posture, not poor. 
Buy a back brace to reinforce good posture.
BODY LANGUAGE
Learn how to move your body during conversations to seem more self-respected and confident.
Train your facial expressions for different situations, but especially for taking photos.
There are tons of books and videos on this, won’t expand because this is all about how you want others to perceive you. 
ELOQUENCE
Improve the way you communicate with others. Be fluent and clear to understand 
Expand your vocabulary, know how to substitute words on the spot and make sentences. 
Knowing what to say in like any and every conversation makes people like you more, and the best way to be more eloquent is just practice. 
There are so many good books about this.. read.
GRADE 5 – MIND
Personally, having a good mindset does boost your self-perception of your prettiness + being happier in general makes you more inclined to take care of yourself = being more pretty!!!
MENTAL HEALTH
Start journaling as a way to organise your thoughts and to truly analyse your emotions. There are a lot of journaling prompts on Pinterest and such!
Meditation as a way to clear the mind when needed is so good. There are a bunch more meditations for other purposes though like body image, productivity, focus or just general relaxation.
Go to therapy, or just have at least one person you can talk to when life becomes tough.
Cut back on social media. There's misinformation, trolls and a lot of content that isn't nourishing your mind. 
Get some sun! Simple and doable, but has a huge effect on the body. It can improve the current mood. Wear sunscreen. 
Start learning how to process situations, instead of bypassing the emotions that come with them. 
Start surrounding yourself with like-minded people. Seriously, being around people who are just too different is draining. 
MINDSET
Embrace growth and reject all forms of comfort. Being uncomfortable with something is growth. 
Don’t do things because you ‘have’ to do this, do them because they benefit you and see it in that way. E.g ‘I’m going to clean my room because I deserve a clean place to rest and work’ instead of ‘I have to clean my room’
Become detached. Stop letting everything that happens in your life affect you, start observing instead of consuming. 
Self validates yourself. Tam Kaur did a wonderful video on this that I think everyone should watch.
Stop believing that everything and everyone is out to get you. Your subconscious mind believes this, do not feed it, starve it.
There's a lot to say about mindset, but I recommend watching some mindset YouTubers who explain everything in depth.
and now,,,, here's a ANOTHER gift from lanny because u read her post. And liked it. And reblogged it. And followed her.. pleaseee

Tips That Helped Me Lose 25 Lbs in 6 Months:
Cut out the sugary drinks. Buy yourself a large refillable water bottle, fill it up, & take it with you everywhere. If you don't like water or want something with more flavor, buy the crystal light packets (5 calories) or the Mio water flavoring (0 calories) & add them to your water. Diet Pop is also zero calories, & no it does not make you gain weight. Just obviously don't drink it all. 1-2 a day are perfectly fine.
Make coffee at home. If you're a starbucks, tim hortons, etc coffee girly, this one is for you. Buy the Sugar Free Torani flavoring syrup, mix it with some almond milk, pour it into your coffee, add a stevia packet. Honestly it tastes great & it's only like 15 calories, compared to a 200 calorie drink at starbucks or tim hortons.
Increase your amount of steps in a day. I aim for at least 10,000 steps a day. But you can start off lower than that! Start off with 5,000 and work your way up. You can get these steps in by doing anything you want. Your phone can track your steps for you so you don't even need to buy a step counter if you don't want to. Just keep your phone on you all day, most people do anyway.
Always keep a "healthy" snack on you. If you're on the go & you get a little hungry, this will help keep you from just stopping to grab fast food or buying a bag of chips.
Eating 60-80% healthy. Balance is key. Don't give up everything you love, otherwise you'll be miserable & just give up. We are aiming for a lifestyle change, not a quick fix diet. It is not realistic for you to NEVER eat the foods you love ever again. It's ok to enjoy life & still lose weight/maintain.
Don't focus on the way you look or the scale. Focus on how you feel. That's what is most important.
The 15 Minute Rule. If you don't feel like working out, tell yourself you're just going to do a 15 minute simple work out. After 15 minutes is up, if you want to stop, then stop. At least you got a little bit of movement in. But 95% of the time, you'll want to keep going. If you tell yourself you're going to do this long, hard work out, odds are you probably aren't going to go. It's overwhelming.

10 pounds in two weeks
my goal is to drop 10 lbs by may 1st, around 2 weeks from now. i have an event and i know i’ll feel more confident and comfortable if i do
so - any tips/ideas you have to help me reach my goal, please comment! the support is appreciated
my current plan:
only water, no other drinks (even 0 cal ones)
no processed foods, sugars, carbs etc
as much activity as possible. i already work as a waiter so i’m always on my feet, but i need to work out more
if i get to where i’m feeling too sick to function and do all the shit i have to get done everyday i can have a more filling snack/mini-meal (probably around 200 calories), otherwise i’m gonna rotate my fasts around my work schedule.
(24 hour fasts when i’m off, 100-200cal limit when i have shifts)

WL TIPS 🎀 (I’ve lost 13kg so far by doing this)
Calorie Deficit:
Burn more calories than you eat for example, i walk a lot and on my fitness app i have a target of burning 500 calories a day.
So on the days that i burn that amount i’ll eat around 300-350cals.
Low calorie, high volume food
Obviously only eating 200-400cals a day isn’t good but it works, so to make sure that you feel full even though you’re not consuming a lot of calories, you have to eat foods that are filling but low calorie. E.g fruits, yogurt, rice etc.
Half a watermelon is 150cals but so is a chocolate bar…. which one will fill you up more? WATERMELON because of the amount.
Liquid Fasts
Liquid fasting is hard at first but the more you do it the easier it gets. Personally i can’t fast without being able to have drinks because firstly i just really don’t like water and drinking too much of it makes me feel sick, it also doesn’t fill me up which is the whole point of fasting, when u feel hungry u chug water to fill u up, but that doesn’t work on me so instead of water fasting i replace water with monster. If you’re gonna do this only drink zero sugar monsters they are only 11-15cals a can, where as normal monsters are 200-300cals a can. Another alternative is diet coke it has 0 cals a can. Also aim to liquid fast once or twice a week maximum but no more than that or else it could trigger a binge.
How to prevent binging
I’m ngl when you start restricting your food intake in these ways you will binge along the way because it takes time for your stomach to get used to not eating as much. The ways that i prevent binging is to distract myself i’ll do things like go on a walk, watch a long film, look at thinspo, scroll on ed tumblr etc. but that won’t always work. If i’ve binged the first thing i do is go on a walk to try and burn as many calories as i can. If you have binged the night before don’t starve yourself the next day because you will most likely binge again, instead eat small portions of food and go on a walk and drink alot of water so you feel full and so that your stomach resets back to only needing small amounts of food to be full. Another thing to not do after a binge is weigh yourself because it will honestly make you feel like shit and it could make you give up or starve yourself and remember if u starve after a binge you’re very likely to binge again. So after a day or two after your binge do a liquid fast and weigh yourself in the morning.
How to accurately weigh yourself
If you want to weigh yourself the best time to do it is in the morning right after waking up but remember to pee first. Weigh yourself naked bcs clothes add weight.
Hair also adds weight so just tie it up with a thin hair band. Take off any bracelets, necklaces or rings you have on. Also make sure the scale is on a flat hard surface for best accuracy (don’t put it on carpets or rugs).

I'll add more as I discover more! Stay safe <3

I know too much about nutrition labels and I'm losing my mind over the pink sauce.
1. let's start with the upsettingly obvious. 3g total carbohydrates but 4g fiber and 11g sugar? fiber and sugar are carbohydrates, so if that's correct then there are 15g carbohydrates at least (most foods have more total carbohydrates than fiber + sugar because there's also starch ect)
2. the first ingredient on this list that has ANY fiber is garlic. it's the fifth ingredient. the serving size is one tablespoon. one tablespoon of straight garlic has 0.2g fiber. one tablespoon of straight garlic *powder* has 0.9g fiber. there is no fucking way that this sauce has anywhere close to 4g fiber
3. speaking of the serving size being a tablespoon - it's also 14.4 grams. this is weirdly accurate considering it's difficult to convert tablespoons to grams and any normal label would have used milliliters instead. but i digress. there's a total of 16 grams of macronutrients listed (fiber + sugar + fat - we are ignoring the mysterious 3g of total carbs). that doesn't fit into a 14.4 gram serving size, especially not because water is the first ingredient and water has zero macronutrients.
4. the second ingredient is sunflower oil, which is 100% fat. every gram of oil that you add to something = 1 gram of fat added. but there's only 1 gram of fat in a 14.4 gram serving size. so the second ingredient - oil- is no more than 7% of the sauce. Let's say honey is another 6%, but everything else is just seasoning. this sauce is almost entirely water. with no emulsifiers or thickeners to be seen (for comparison, ranch contains xanthan gum and modified corn starch which can thicken any liquidy concoction) this "sauce" would be exactly the consistency of water.
5. not to mention that raw honey is third on the list, so there should be less sugar than fat. nope. there's 11 grams of sugar. pitaya might add to the sugar content, but we know it has to be less than 1g and probably significantly less because it's the 6th ingredient on the label. I'd guess there's max 2g sugar total if 1g of fat is correct. did she list her ingredients in random order or did she just make up macronutrients?
6. speaking of ingredients, there's no coloring listed on the label. either she thinks the public will be fooled into believing this color can be achieved by a sprinkle of Himalayan pink salt, or she is not aware that food dye counts as an ingredient. It's possible the pitaya added some color but that would be closer to purple or magenta than bubblegum, so i call bullshit.
7. there's not a single iron-containing ingredient on this list. *six ounces* of pitaya contains 0.1mg of iron, but that's it. there's no way on god's green earth that a concoction of primarily water with a splash of oil has 0.5mg of iron. actually, iron is hard to get and 0.5mg of iron in one tablespoon would be an exceptionally high-iron food. one CUP of spinach has 3.7mg of iron - so 0.2mg per tablespoon. did she cook this in a cast iron pan with a metal spatula?
8. 4% potassium is also way too high. potassium is weird so i won't do math on it, but both oil and honey have zero potassium for sure. there's nothing else I can see that jumps out at me as a high-potassium food. garlic and pitaya may have some, but again, potassium is hard to get! a sports drinks might have 4% of potassium if you're lucky. a serving of himilayan pink salt has 15mg of potassium - such a negligable amount that it's still listed as 0% of your DV. many processed foods do have weirdly high potassium levels, but that's because potassium, such as potassium sorbate, is added in as a preservative. but without "potassium" actually listed on the label, nothing and I mean nothing contains 190!! mg of potassium per TABLESPOON.
9. I can't believe I almost forgot. 1 gram of fat - 9 calories. 15 grams of mystery carbs - 60 calories. 69 calories (nice). where is she getting 90 calories from?
conclusion: not a single number on this label is possibly correct. there's a 100% chance that she made up random numbers and said yeah that looks believable and a 200% chance that she's never paid attention to a nutrition label in her life.
and what really drives me crazy is that if you're measuring ingredients carefully, and especially if you're using very basic ingredients that should have clear-cut nutrition information (like fucking oil and honey) it is NOT hard to do some basic arithmetic to put together accurate nutrition information for the final product. this is the most ridiculous shit I've seen in my life.

30 Low Calorie Starbucks Drink Menu Items
As a health-conscious individual, navigating the enticing world of Starbucks can be challenging. Fear not! I’ve curated a comprehensive list of 30 low-calorie Starbucks drinks, ensuring you can indulge in your favorite beverages without compromising your fitness goals.
Tips for Customization

10 GUARANTEED tips for food calorie reduction
remove one or both buns off a sandwich, no one remembers the bread, just what's in between it
dab off the grease from foods before eating and save urself an average of 5+ pounds a year :)
always go for "light" or "reduced fat/sugar" versions of ur fave foods (this one's obvious lol)
lean cuisine meals >>> (a ton of options less than 200 cals and soooo tasty) ex: beef mushroom and broccoli (180 cal), chicken with potatoes and broccoli (190cal)
go for FISH and seafood! im pescatarian and seafood is a way better protein alternative to fatty chicken and red meats
ONLY drink water with meals. studies show that you enjoy your favored drinks more if you drink them alone, if ur just using them to wash down food, you're not savoring it as much as you could be
always go for RAW before cooked veggies. its proven that you lose vital nutrients and vitamins for hair/nail/skin/gut health after you cook down ur veggies
SEASONING is ur best friend! think low cal food has to be bland? WRONG! there's a shit ton of low cal seasonings out there for meats/veg/etc.
FLAVOR DROPS! go to ur local grocer in the seasoning/baking isle to get 0 cal 0 sugar sweetness and flavor drops (I have the toffee nut and vanilla ones that I add to my yogurt and more!)
Follow me for tips and an upcoming series of posts of my personal favorite low-cal low-fat low-sugar foods! (including noodles, meats, desserts, pastries, breakfasts, drinks, and MORE)
feel free to dm me w questions anytime loves! stay safe out there <3 :)

Ended my fast after I almost passed out and then my friend took me to sharetea and Wendy’s, literally FREAKING OUT because I don’t know how many calories are in their aloe Vera, but other than that I think i did pretty okay with getting my drink 0 sugar and only eating 3 fries + an egg when I got home but if I weigh higher tomorrow I will kill myself <3

Hi! I need to lose 30lbs in 29 days, is it possible? How would I do it? 😭🙏
Thank you for the ask! It's definitely possible! Here's my guide for you!
First thing's first, your daily caloric intake now has to be 300 or below. Try to keep it around 200 daily, and less if possible.
Next thing is about fasting. You're not allowed breakfast (only water!) until after 7am. Then you are not allowed to eat from 10am to 7pm. At 7pm you are permitted to eat until 8pm, and then after that, you are done eating for the day!
Here's my meal plan for you!
Breakfast- Here are some really great things to have for breakfast.
Zero calorie soda
Zero calorie monster energy
Black coffee (or coffee with unsweetened almond milk and sugar free sweeteners if you have to!)
A piece or two of turkey lunchmeat (fairly low cal and really good! Add mustard if it's still not enough. Mustard has 0 calories in small amounts!)
Half a piece of toast (low cal bread only!)
Dinner- Here's some great options for dinner.
Celery! It has basically no calories so you can eat a ton!
A stick of string cheese
Another zero cal soda/monster
More important things!:
Water! Drink it as often as you can and as much as you can! Track how much water you drink! Always have a bottle of water with you if possible.
Keep yourself distracted too! Make yourself as busy as you can be. Can't eat if you don't have time to!
Fast for a full day once a week! Only liquids (zero cal) are allowed on those days!
Try to eat as little in one day as you possibly can! I lost 30 pounds in that amount of time by doing this, and it really really worked! If you really care about losing the weight, you won't lose to temptation. Stay strong, I believe in you!
If you ever need any more advice or have more questions, please, feel free to ask! Good luck on losing the weight!

Fall is in the air MB. Please rate the ACOTAR boys on how likely they are to be a PSL dude
I was just thinking how much I missed when people were asking me to do my rankings. If you're new here, remember that my opinion is the only objective one in the fandom and I accept 0 criticism if you disagree. Ranking Least likely to most likely.
9. Tamlin- Do you know how many calories/additives are in a PSL? He's a tea man, besides.
8. Kallias- Look, he's a chestnut praline guy. Halloween, fall weather, even PSL is just an annoying prelude to the REAL holiday- Non-denominational solstice. He's not interested in it- it's not bad, it's just...not good.
7. Tarquin- Life is natures caffeine, okay? He doesn't begrudge anyone for enjoying it, but if he wants that sweet rush of dopamine (OR WHATEVER ITS DOING TO OUR BRAINS IM NOT A SCIENTIST), he'll go outside for a hike. Do you, but no thanks.
6. Rhys- I think Rhys WANTS to be a PSL dude. He's got the scarf (give it back to Taylor Rhys!!!), he's got the fall foliage in the background. He's even got the PSL in hand. It's just...it tastes SO BAD he doesn't understand why people like it. 1/10 for trying
5. Jurian- It's FINE, okay? It's nothing special, just a drink and honestly people should get a grip.
4. Cassian- Thought it was going to be life changing. Like Rhys, loves to do a thirst trap for the 'gram when its PSL season. He prefers the frap if we're being honest (don't tell Nesta because she might want to put sugar in her oatmeal if she knew)
3. Lucien- Pumpkin everything, obviously. He's not publicizing it for likes, but everyone knows he's first in line the day PSL is back, double fisting them to make up for lost time. Blood to caffeine content is just pumpkin, he's vibrating at the speed of sound
2. Azriel- Tries to make his own at home but it's not the same. Dumps his PSL in an at-home travel cup, if you ask him what he's drinking, he'll lie and say "coffee, black." Also thinks Rhys should give Taylor back her scarf (c'mon, it's just the right thing to do, man).
Eris Vanserra, king of the pumpkin spice latte. Oh you don't like it? Sorry you have bad taste, couldn't be him. Doing an internet countdown, live vlogs himself taking that first sip, dog sitting at his feet in a matching vest. Why is he on a hike with a PSL? Don't ask questions, alright? Minor internet feud with Kallias over which seasonal drink is the best, vicious followers cause Kallias to concede.
