Good Morning! (or afternoon/evening depending on when you’re reading this!)
So this is an example of my weightloss regime; week 1 of my 8 week healthy eating plan…
This isn’t a “diet” where you just have shakes and smoothies for 8 weeks then go back to how you were eating, its a transformation from an unhealthy fat filled diet to a healthy sensible food plan for the rest of your life. You can’t just delve in to the unknown and go for whatever makes you lose weight the quickest – trust me i’ve been there and it doesn’t work. Sure you lose a tonne of weight in a short amount of time, but you’ll just end up back at square one still dumb on what it is you actually NEED to do to change your life around and be the person you want to be. Educate your self!
Here is week 1:
Monday
It’s a Monday which means it’s even harder to wake up, let alone actually getting out of bed! However if i’m honest this is probably THE day where you need to be up lively and ready to be organised to start your day in order to have a good week. Psychologically Monday is always considered; a new start, the first day of work (for some/most people) and if you don’t start this day right then it’s harder to get your week off to the right start!
Breakfast:
We need to rid you of your weekend toxins! That’s right i said it! I know that you’ve either been out on the town, indulging in our good friends Ben and Jerry, super busy that you’ve been picking unhealthy food and thinking, it’s alright i haven’t really eaten anything today so having these crisps or biscuit etc will definitely NOT matter – WRONG it totally does! So we now need to top our bodies off with the “right stuff”. This will give you an awesome boost!
35 grams of porridge oats – mixed with water NOT milk (even if it’s skimmed) – topped with strawberries, raspberries, flax seeds (look them up they really are super healthy!) and blueberries! This is filling and will give you energy throughout the morning and help just give your body a boost – one that i can imagine it definitely needs!
Snack:
ORANGE! More fruit! No way?!
I’m sorry but yes, it’s more fruit. Fruit is amazing for you, it gives you the nutrients you need to help boost your immune system and on top of that it is a “speedy” food. It helps build up your metabolism – pretty much, there’s more scientific reasoning behind it, but to be honest i just want to get everything down! If you have questions feel free to write them down!
Lunch:
Chicken breast x2 and cherry tomatoes (as many as you want!) with ALOT of garlic and pepper seasoning! I love my seasoning and it is absolutely FAT FREE! You may think that this is boring as anything, but this is going to give you a great dose of protein (that isn’t powder!) and that means more clean slow releasing energy. (Clean meaning untainted with crappy additives!)
Tea/Dinner:
For tea tonight we have a grilled steak (it can be fried, but if it is, cook it in fry light!), x2 new potatoes with 1 boiled egg and as much salad as you want! I know salads are boring and bland but if you need some flavour, use which every herbs or spices you have gathering dust in your cupboard and mix it with 0% fat yogurt then pour generously over your salad 🙂
Tuesday:
Breakfast:
Tomatoes on toast – random and weird i know but just go with it!
Lunch:
FRUIT! It is a lovely fruit salad for lunch today and to make you feel better you may have as much as you want and whatever fruit you like. If you have banana not have too many – like 4 or 5, you don’t want to over do it on fibre. Although banana is obviously healthy because it’s a fruit it’s not a speedy food because of its sugar content as well, so too much of it will do the opposite of what you want it to do!
Tea/Dinner:
Fresh fish and a lovely salad! I know you’re probably thinking that you’ve had a lot of salad in just 2 days but we are trying to get some of that goodness in your body that you’ve been missing for a while!
Wednesday and Thursday:
So for these two next days you’ll be repeating Monday and Tuesday, lets give your body the ultimate top up! I hope you don’t find it too boring but the first week is about learning what you like and getting over that initial; “for fuck sake all i want to do it eat pizza and cake!”
Friday:
Smoked salmon (up to 5 slices) drizzled with lemon, boiled egg x2 and a grapefruit. Grape fruit is a hard one to get yourself to eat. It’s extremely sour, but if you know how to eat it etc. it can be a lot nicer! Sweetner will be your best friend (just sprinkle it all over it after cutting it in half) then place it in the oven for 2 minutes, take it out and put 0% fat yogurt mixed with more sweetner and put a massive dollop of it on the open half! LUSH!
Saturday:
No it does not mean that it’s a treaty cheat day because it’s the weekend! You need to have a full clean week before you can start having your cheat meal! So for breakfast today it is strawberries (chopped), raspberries (chopped/mashed) with 0%fat yogurt, a table spoon of honey and mix it all together then spread on 2 slices of wholemeal toast! As bizarre as it might sound, it’s soooooo nice! A brilliant alternative to jam!
Lunch:
2 poached eggs on a bed of spinach and any other salad you fancy! Have as much as you want! Apologies if you still find this boring, but it gets better, remember its the first week. We’re training your body to thrive off of beautiful, do good, healthy nutrients and vitamins 🙂
Tea/Dinner:
Lamb chops with runner beans, carrots and tomatoes – with this, i tend to pan fry the lamb chops (with fry light), boil the runner beans and carrots but then put them in the oven along with the tomatoes, season well and bobs your uncle!!
Sunday:
Oh my word it’s sunday already, fuck me! Congratulations if you managed to get through the week without indulging in any other shitty foods! And if you did have a slip up, it’s fine, but what i tend to do is repeat the week if i had a bit of fail – well not a fail, lets not call it a fail, a bit of a hiccup!
Now that it’s Sunday you may choose what you have for each meal and snackage! HOWEVER, choose from the following foods, what it is that you will have. It’s all about taking control but there can always be too much too soon, so Sundays will be a “lets see how it goes and what i fancy when i fancy it kind of day” – but obviously still sticking with these foods!
- Fruit – any!
- Chicken – no fat though
- Salad
- Tomatoes
- Peppers
- Onions
- Turkey mince – 2% fat or less (Tesco do it!)
- Tinned tomatoes
- x2 eggs (boiled or fried!)
- x2 wholemeal bits of bread/toast
- Grilled steak
- Carrots
- Runner beans
- Broccoli
- SEASONING!
I HOPE YOU’VE HAD AN AWESOME WEEK!! Remember if you had a MASSIVE hiccup, and by hiccup i mean have a takeaway, loads of chocolate etc. then put it to the side and start again with your healthy eating!
