Heres what works for me: Monday: CHEAT DAY (stay under 1500 calories) Tuesday:EAT HEALTHY DAY (stay under 1200 calories) Wednesday:CHEAT DAY (stay under 1500 calories) Thursday:EAT HEALTHY DAY (stay under 1200 calories) Friday:EAT HEALTHY DAY (stay under 1200 calories) Saturday:FAST(juice fast or water fast depending on mood) Sunday:FAST(juice fast or water fast depending on mood)
On my "cheat days"I eat the "Diet Version" of foods I really shouldn't be eating (ex) pizza & lasagna For the pizza, I use low calorie flat bread as the base, low fat cheeses, regular pizza sauce, & chicken or veggies as toppings. For the lasagna, I use whole wheat noodles, low fat cheeses, regular pasta sauce, & sometimes add minced chicken or veggies to the layering. My cheat days are the only days when i allow myself to drink soda or a low calorie dessert. I stay under 1500 calories on these days.
On my "eat healthy days" I eat mostly low carb, high protein, & low fat. Some things I do eat/drink include: Boiled eggs Baked/Grilled Chicken or Fish Chickpea Salad w/no dressing (just lemon juice if needed) Chicken Salad w/no dressing (just lemon juice if needed) Occasionally: Basmati Rice Lots of Fruit Lots of steamed veggies with herbs Fruit Smoothies (1 banana+frozen strawberrie/blackberries/rasberries + orange juice)
Some things I do not eat/drink include: Soda Pork Beef Salad Dressing Anything really high in carbs (breads,pastas,pizzas) Foods with high sugar Foods with high salt
I stay under 1200 calories on these days.
On my "fasting" days I pick between juice fasting and water fasting. Usually water fasting wins because its easier for me.
Along with this, I exercise 5 days a week and drink lots of water.
BTW: I'm 5'2 so eating under 1500 calories is okay for me (;
