Hey guys, I get a few private messages every now and then asking about how I lost 48 lbs in 8 weeks. So… I’m gonna finally share my secrets☺️

1.Intermittent Fasting!

I know some people prefer simply fasting and some people can’t fast at all, and that’s okay. Because the majority of the weight loss calculation is simply calories in vs calories out. But… intermittent fasting kinda gives this little trick a boost. So… if you don’t know what intermittent fasting is I’ll give you a quick explaination, but I recommend you go to YouTube and do some research on it as it’s much more complicated and interesting than I can make it.

So, intermittent fasting is when you fast for a vast period of the day (including sleeping hours). So, due to work I’d usually fast for 18-23 hours a day. It’s really finding what works for you. It’s best to eat in the afternoon/evening and skip breakfast entirely. I’m not going to explain it all here because the post would become too long. But seriously, YouTube/google it or message me☺️

2.At Least 10,000 Steps Per Day!

Exercise is always obvious, but when you’re trying to make sure people aren’t worrying over you, it’s important to be discreet. I did at least 10,000 steps per day. Sometimes as many as 50,000. But I think I averaged out at around 18,000 per day including gun visits.

Get a Fitbit if you can! They’re life savers.

3.Record EVERYTHING you eat!

Intermittent fasting makes it a lot easier to track everything. Mainly because the shorter the eating period the less you can eat and the less there is to record and calculate. Make sure you add up all your calories, which leads me on to my next topic.

4.Weekly, not daily calorie goals!

Make a weekly calorie goal. Mine was 7000 to start with, meaning if I wanted to make it daily then I could make it 1000 a day. But I didn’t. I kept it weekly. This way, if I binged I knew exactly where I was and what I had to either burn off or sacrifice as a result of a binge.

After 4 weeks on 7000 I dropped to 4000 for two weeks and then back to 7000 for two weeks and upped my exercise.

5.Taking breaks.

Since losing 48 lbs in 8 weeks I have taken a break from weight loss. Yes you will binge. Yes you may gain a little back (4 lbs for me, which I’ve already gotten rid of again). Yes, you may become a little lazy and this will panic you. But just trust your body. You can’t go on losing that much weight so quickly for a long period of time. I’ve taken too long of a break but I’m back and more excited than ever!

6.Drink water like it’s the only thing that’s available to drink.

Drink WATER! Only water. Nothing else. Nothing. I mean it. Like. If you want cereal, it’s gotta be dry. No milk, no juice, no soda, no diet sodas. Just water. Not even gravy or anything. Have oats with water. Poach eggs instead of scramble. Water! I’d have at least 3.5 litres a day, sometimes more. 3 litres of that being drinking water and the rest in cooking. Trust me, water is your best friend. You can’t burn fat if you’re dehydrated.

7.Weigh yourself whenever you want!

I kept getting told, ‘stop weighing yourself everyday’. ‘Stop this and stop that’. But honestly it’s what kept me going. There were 2 days in those 8 weeks that I got on the scale and weighed more than I had the day before. But each time, the next day, I would’ve lost double what I expected. Trust me! Weight yourself whenever the damn well you want!

8.Have a reward in mind!

I haven’t yet reached my UGW so I haven’t yet had my reward and it’s a personal thing so I’ve decided to keep it to myself☺️ but I’m incredibly excited and you need to have a goal in mind and a reward for reaching that goal that truly inspires you!

That’s all I have for now. But any questions! Feel free to message me!

1. Ice baths do not burn an insane amount of calories - being cold will actually SLOW your metabolism, because your body is trying to retain heat. You burn more calories in room or hotter temperatures. Ice baths can also be dangerous because it does lower your body’s natural core temperature, and this can lead to blood clots, heart problems, and various other complications. 

2. Ignore the 100 calories workouts. Why? Because you do not burn 100 calories. There are no universal workouts that burn the exact amount of calories for everyone. Someone who is 300 pounds burns twice the amount of caloris than someone who’s 150 pounds. And honestly, the only person who burns 100 calories on those plans are people who are over 300 pounds. Even then it’s iffy. Just don’t fall for it. 

3. Hydration. Is. Key. Just upping your water intake to the levels your body needs will be enough to help jump start weightloss. It regulates the water your body needs, help’s you get rid of excess water weight, plus it helps your body maintain a majority of it’s natural processes. It can take only 3 days to die without consuming water, don’t risk it. 

4. Don’t bother with lax or diet pills. Lax will dehydrate you and only force you to lose extra water and waste weight. Diet pills have insane amounts of caffeine. Your best bet is to use cayenne pepper extract  and vitamin b complex which naturally do what diet pills are marketed to do. Not to mention, just google diet pill side effects. 

5. Do not chew and spit. It’s not a good alternative. The moment you smell food your body starts the digestive process. Now most of the time this isn’t a big deal. However, once you chew food, your stomach is producing stomach acid. Without food for your stomach to digest, you will have acid build up cause acid reflux, stomach ulcers, nausea, and various other problems. 

6. In terms of eating disorders, fasting is never a good option. While fasting can be healthy for someone who is healthy, chances are if you’re restricting your body is already battling to maintain it’s life. Our bodies are not designed to have low intakes all the time. Consult a physician before you fast. Also, do not fast when you need to operate a vehicle or any other machine. End your fast if you feel a burning sensation in your stomach or develop acid reflux. 

7. In every health case, avoid fast food. Not only is the food insanely unhealthy for you (there are healthier options at most chains if you ever need to eat out at one) but the FDA actually allows a lot of these chains to lie about their calorie count by 20%. Most food companies can do it anyways, but fast food is the most guilty.  Supersize Me actually did expand on this so watching that will give you a bit more information. 

8. A good 90% of the so called “pro-ana” tips being spread around are complete BS. While some people may find them helpful, the reality is that most people don’t. You will find what works for you naturally. 

9. The more you restrict or fast the smaller your stomach/intestines shrink. It may sound good now, but the moment you eat more than your body can naturally handle, you are at risk for stomach/intestinal ruptures since your body is no longer used to eating regular amounts. 

10. Do not eat cotton balls for the love of God. I don’t know who even came up with this idea but cotton balls can easily cause intestinal blockages that can kill you, cause massive infection, and could end up needing to be surgically removed. I’ve also seen a few people suggest tying candy to a string then pulling it back up to induce purging? You’re going to choke to death at some point with that, or tear a hole in your esophagus which, best of luck surviving that one. Seriously, don’t follow these stupid tips. 

11. Take a multivitamin. If you restrict you lose nutrients, losing nutrients lands you in a hospital, hospital finds out you have an eating disorder and forces you to eat.
