GUYS.

LET ME TELL YOU.

Green giant’s riced veggies is AMAZING. Pictured in the bowl is the cauliflower medley which only has 25 Calories per serving. The serving size is 1 cup. There are four servings per bag. You could literally eat the whole package and it would only be 100 Calories!!! If you feel people are getting suspicious, fix up a serving or two of this to appease them. The vegetables make it super healthy, it’s low-carb and low sodium, plus it’s delicious and filling. I only had ½ a cup and I was full! The vegetables taste great by themselves, but you could always add a little bit of seasoning for flavor; I added a dash of sea salt and paprika.

⭐DISCLAIMER❗Okay im obviously no expert. These are my personal tips and techniques to prepare/undergo a fast, and also how to wrap one up safely⭐

🍳Before fasting🍳 📅Make sure the day before you ate enough nutrients/vitamins. Your stored energy is going to be your energy source. 📅 🙅However, Fasting immediately after a binge isnt a good idea either. Im not fully educated om why but please trust me. 🙅 🍌If possible, eat a banana. Youll need a healthy amount of potassium🍌 🍉Buy various flavors of gum. I like to pick wintergreen mint, and watermelon for sweet cravings. Peppermint is an appetite repressant, and all mint flavored gum will make you not wanna eat🍉 🌊Make sure youll have plenty of water bottles. Tap water is okay imo, but some people arent too keen on the idea/dont have access to drinking water for example; your house may have well water🌊 💪If you exercise, i suggest you doing your imtense workouts before you fast💪 📱Tell an ana buddy/trustworthy person about your fast. This is vital in case anything happens to you📱

🐚During your fast🐚 🍴Stay away from that kitchen🍴 🚙GIRL u gotta stay aware. When restricting/fasting your brain gets delayed responses. You dont drive so thats okay, but if anyone reading this has a license, please dont. Let someone else eligible to take the wheel, or stay home🚙 🕔Track your time. I often count by 12s if I’m doing an extended fast. Pick a time thats early in the morning. An ideal time is 7 since that’s the time most people stop eating at night (12 hours elapsed) also if you start early in the am time goes by sleeping and such you know?🕤 🌀STAY. HYDRATED. DRINK AT LEAST 3 BOTTLES A DAY. Avoid empty calories🌀 💃Exercise lightly. Personally, i dont even risk it, because overexerting yourself could actually destroy your heart💃 💫If you need to eat, allow yourself. And when i say need, not when the hunger pangs are bad. If you are faint/dizzy/close to blacking out/experiencing double vision, or extremely weak, eat.💫 📖find something to do. Eating derives mostly from boredom, if youre not doing anything then youll want to eat📖 ❗Chew your gum to push through hunger pangs❗ 🌙Take a nap🌙 🛀Take a relaxing bath, or a shower🛀 📒Plan your according to what works for you. If its easier to work during a fast, by all means. If you like to stay home and play it safe, thats perfectly fine too! Do what makes you comfortable. 📒 🏣when you fast your liver makes more bile in order to aid digestion (i guess) so if you start vomitting please end your fast and eat something. Vomitting during a fast usually means your body may be low on potassium. Potassium levels below 2.8 requires hospitalization🏣 🐷Browse thinspo. Reverse thinspo. Fitspo. Fatspo. Bonespo. Whatever suits you, tumblr is here for you🐷 ✒journal your day/feelings/calorie intake/goals/ideas. Let it all out, your journal will never wrong you✒ 🔨plan the end of your fast, This is so important in order to avoid binging right at the end of your fast.🔨 💦brush your teeth until you dont feel a speck of grime. This helps me in general because tooth paste makes everything taste foul💦 💋If you use lipstick, make it perfect. Nothing is worth destroying its beauty💋 👙Dig out your summer clothes out of storage. Do the clothes look bigger?👙 📹Dig through a photo album, or facebook, and compare to how you look now. If you have a photo album but no recent photos of yourself, compare yourself to family and friends closest to your age or size. 📹 💡Help mom or dad take care of some house work💡 ⏳Its very dangerous to push to 72 hours in a fast. At a certain point, your body runs out of fat, and starts deteriorating your muscles. Your heart will be at risk, along w other muscles, at around 36 hours. Please correct me if thats wrong.⌛ ☎You can talk to me you know? You can talk to friends. To family. Colleagues. Your pets! ☎ 📢no like legit if youre struggling dont be afraid to reach out for support. Talk to me if you have no one📢

If you do 4 hours of 3mph walking you can burn around 1000 calories

Of course you are probably thinking “why would I walk on a treadmill for 4 hours”

Just find a show you really like and only allow yourself to watch it when you are walking on the treadmill. You can run too but be careful. I usually don’t, this is just a reward for if I didn’t eat all day.

But once you get in a habit of it, it becomes really easy!!

I also suggest doing ab workouts while watching YouTube!

I have discovered the key to happiness and yum simultaneously: FiberOne & SkinnyGirl sandwich!

Okay so hear me out, FiberOne makes 100% whole wheat bread with 15 calories per 2 slices. Yes, I just went there. FiberOne went there.

SkinnyGirl makes lunch meat with 60 calories per up to 3 slices.

So get this, I tried pairing the FiberOne 100% Whole Wheat Bread with the SkinnyGirl Sriracha Chicken Breast, added about a teaspoon of spicy guacamole & pico, a bit of spinach between each slice of chicken, and some mustard. Put the bread in the toaster until it was warm and (very) lightly toasted, of course heated up the chicken as well. It was so good, oml.

The total amount of calories? Somewhere between 80 and 90, depending on what mustard used. I just used regular 0cal yellow.

It’s very filling, and I recommend it for everything. Literally, I could eat this for a month and not get bored of it. (Mostly because I love spicy stuff, but SkinnyGirl makes other deli meats & the guac could be exchanged for something else if you don’t like it).

Grab a cheap 5 pound bag of kitty litter (or anythings that add up to 5 pounds) and throw it in a backpack. Strap that sucker on and clean the kitchen, do the laundry, go for a walk, whatever you want!

When you’re done, take that sucker off and instantly feel how heavy it was. It made you work a little bit harder. It feels good to take off the backpack.

That’s how your joints, heart and lungs feel for every ounce of extra weight you take off of your body. Your body will never ever be upset when you take care of it well. It’s the brain that gets caught up in time line goals and numbers and scales. Remind your brain how heavy 5 pounds is, and how amazing you are for taking care of yourself.
