Diet Plan

My friend has lost 13kgs in a month or so sticking to the below diet. I may try this once I get to Sydney!

Breakfast

1 slice dry toast (can have with grilled tomatoes or 2 tsp cream cheese) OR grapefruit and 1 boiled egg OR 1/2 cup Granola cerial with fat free milk. (Can have poached egg instead, occasionally scrambled)


Lunch

Fresh fruit (any amount, no bananas!) OR pita wrap with lean meat (tomatoes, lettuice, onion etc) (1 tsp low fat mayo optional)


Dinner

Grilled chicken/steak/fish/lamb chops (any amount) with salad OR 2 hard boiled eggs with salad/vegetables

* If adding 1 cup rice/pasta to meal no more than ~ 150g meat.


Dessert

Fat free yogurt. (Only 2-3 times a week maximum. Check to ensure yogurt is actually low carb)


Note – Herbs & Spices are your friend. Garlic/chilli very good. Can add to meat for variety.

Introduction



Hello, my name is Loren. I am a 22 year old female who currently weighs in at 84 kgs. That is currently 15kgs heavier than I want to be. I am creating this blog, along with my best friend Jasmin, to help me get back to get back in shape.

I plan to do this through healthy eating and exercise – two things that have been lacking in my life for quite a while. I plan to document my weight and measurements, and hopefully over time show improvement.

I think creating a blog is a commitment to myself to actually make these changes in my life. I am the type of person that has started many things with good intentions and never finish them. I want to finish this. I want to be able to run around and not get puffed out. I want to be able to wear that backless dress without having to worry about “back-fat”. I want to banish my muffin top! Fight away my jiggly tummy! I want to look and feel healthy and strong!

Each fortnight I will check in with weight and measurements, accompanied by pictures, to show my improvement. And there will be improvement. The below are my current measurements (all in cms) and weight:

Bust: 105
Waist: 94.5
Hips: 108
Thigh: 68.5
Upper Arm: 33

Weight: 84 kgs

The pictures I post of myself are meant to show you what I look like. No nice angles. No held in tummy. This is me as I am today.
