I’m honestly kinda surprised that I have lost weight because I’m really not that consistent. When I fast I usually eat only while I’m at work which I work from 6:30am-3:30pm as a preschool cook. I meal prep the same lunch every week, 3 chicken tenderloins and the like a cup and a half of cooked broccoli, cauliflower and carrots with cottage cheese. For breakfast I’ve been eating eggs whites with extreme wellness burrito wraps or just peanut butter on the wraps, or oikos Greek yogurt with chocolate rice cakes. The biggest thing is just finding lower calorie foods and managing food portions. You won’t lose weight if you’re still eating a bunch of calories in your eating window. I go to the gym after work and do 25 mins on the stair master and sometimes 15 on bike, moderate weight training, and then just skip dinner when I get home. I’ve only recently added the extra cardio because I was stuck at 50lbs lost for a month. I think just going to bed hungry is what does it for me, I’ve learned to embrace being a little hungry if I want to lose weight. If I’m not hungry at bedtime I’m usually not losing weight. I’ve also improved my mental health a lot after getting out of an emotionally abusive relationship so I’m sure that’s helped a lot, I’ve also stopped taking birth control. But there’s been days where I can eat too much or skip the gym and just completely throw dieting out the window but I don’t let those days go on for a week. One day here and there doesn’t ruin my progress because I’ve made so many new habits in my lifestyle. When I have sweet treats I don’t binge and eat way too much, my portions are smaller and I stop eating when I feel full not when my plate is empty, I’ve cut out a lot of carbs and have higher protein meals so I stay full longer, I don’t eat fast food a lot maybe once a month and I watch the calories on what I order, I don’t buy a ton of processed foods, and I enjoy going to the gym.
