At least 2 litres of water; coffee and tea count.
Shower every other day at least, but definitely after any strenuous workout.
Wash face every morning and night, always take off makeup.
Apply moisturiser everywhere to keep your skin supple and soft.
Always apply deodorant and a signature perfume/scent.
Keep your nails filed and clean, or freshly painted.
Use hair oils, a good shampoo and conditioner and make effort into doing your hair, even if just straightening/curling.

At a minimum, apply concealer, mascara, brow product and highlight everyday.
Never speak loudly or over someone, be polite and wait.
Keep your elbows off the table when you do eat.

Sit up straight and maintain a good posture.
Smile brightly, even at people whom you may dislike.
Never badmouth, belittle or doubt anybody, even yourself.
Donât talk about weight or food with anybody.
Reply to messages within good time, call parents often.Â
Donât mindlessly scroll on your phone; find something to do.
Keep calorie limit to 500 on weekdays, 800 on weekends.
Fast for at least 3 days (72 hours) every week = 4 fasts per month.
When hungry, chew sugar free gum and have a hot drink.
Never eat when you are the only one. (If others have stopped - stop too).
Eat between 9am-6pm, never before, never after. Effective of a 15 hour fast each day.
If possible, keep any binge food or triggers out of reach, or, if you live alone (university student here), donât buy any trigger food. Out of sight, out of mind.

A glass of water before any meal and a glass of water after.
Consume mostly protein, fruit and veg and minimal carbs.
Donât eat anything you donât know the calories of.
Weigh yourself every morning.
Do not exercise aside from general everyday movements - your body is weaker and you could faint or collapse. (Yes, exercising on an empty stomach is good for ketosis (your bodyâs state of metabolizing fat at a high rate) but when you are fasting your body will naturally do this to give you energy from your fat stores instead of it receiving energy from food).
Drink a hell of a lot of water, tea and coffee.
Use Tumblr a lot and keep distracted.
Slowly reintroduce food when your fast is over.
These are rules and guidelines I set myself, and are what work for me. They may not necessarily work for you or fit your routine.
