WHAT I EAT IN A DAY TO LOSE WEIGHT

Here’s how I eat to lose weight – I’ve lost 40 Pounds

In this post and video, I’m going to show you my top tips for staying fuller for longer, and I’m going to show you some some healthy and filling recipes that can help to keep you fuller for longer, and help you to lose weight – even when you’re having a “hungry day”.

WHAT TO EAT ON A HUNGRY DAY

I often get asked what I eat in a day (and how I lost 40 Lbs). Here in this video, I’m showing you exactly what I ate in a day to lose weight – and what kinds of foods I eat when I’m trying to get into better shape. This is “What I eat in a day to lose weight – On a HUNGRY DAY (Day 6)”.

Today I’m showing you what I eat in a day to lose weight, when I ‘m having a hungry day, and I want filling meals that are lower in calories – so the meals and recipes are healthy, filling and lower in cal.

I’ve also typed up the full recipes for you below – these recipes just serve me (they just serve 1).

When I’m trying to lose weight, I’ll usually eat 3 meals per day – and sometimes I’ll have a snack (depending on how active I’ve been, how hungry I am that day and how I feel that day), but I will generally just have 3 meals.

Today is a hungry day, so I have had a snack too.

Obviously this kind of hungry day is not an everyday kind of thing. I usually get a “hungry day” like this about once (or maybe twice) a month – where I’m just so hungry I feel Like I could eat everything in sight. I’m pretty sure it has to do with “that time of the month”, you know for us girls…

But I know that if I make an effort to eat healthy meals like this, that keep me full and give my body the nutrients that it needs – then I won’t go bingeing on food, or won’t eat the entire contents of my fridge. This way I feel good at the end of the day, and also the next day when I wake up.

CALORIES PER DAY

I usually eat 1100-1400 calories a day to lose weight – depending on how active I’ve been and how hungry I feel that day. Today was a hungry day, so I had about 1400 calories. I have a petite frame, but women with a taller frame (or women who are very active every day) may need to eat more to lose weight in a healthy way. I talk more about how to work out your personal calorie needs in my book.
