Every body is idiosyncratic which means that every body is unique. What techniques work for me may not particularly work for you. We all just have different body types and this is just how I lost ten pounds. So let me start off with the general stats of my body. Late 2011 I was around 115 to 113 pounds. My weight is always fluctuating most bodies do. And now 2013 I am a hundred pounds or ninety-eight to a hundred pounds. Before you freak out, this is quite normal for my height. I am 5’ 1” and my BMI is 18.5. I am not underweight, and I’m actually a lot healthier now. This took me over a year to lose this weight and maintain my weight right now. So it’s not going to happen overnight. So don’t expect it too. Number one Take a picture of everything you eat I know it sounds ridiculous This is actually really important because just the conscious effort of taking picture of your food stopping and hold your appetite for 5 seconds. It makes a big difference. You kind of conceive what your diets was like I personally use am IPhone app called Eatery It’s super, super slow because people created it have kind of left the back burner out but it’s still functioning, and it’s something I use religiously I took over a thousand meals on that thing. And it’s been helping me a lot to moderate what I eat and so if I eat an donut on Monday I wound remember that I ate a donut until Friday when I can eat another donut You know you start gathering data about yourselves and just truly learning what it is. Take picture of the good meals that you eat and the really crappy foods that you are eating. I found that documents to my food really make me excited for my meals because I kind of I view foods as a treat If you don’t have an iPhone, just take pictures with your cellphone Upload that into your laptop maybe every month and just come to see what you ate It’s no different than writing down the food but I just think that taking a picture with your cellphone is a lot easier. Number two Carbs (carbohydrates) to me are the devil I am quite aware that there are good carbs AKA complex carbohydrates that are good for you and breakdown slower in your body And there’s also bad carbs like refined carbohydrates That’s a really soft wonder bread Carbs that are freaking delicious As I person just try to avoid carbs as best as I can because I person would rather use my calories on proteins, veggies, fiber You know just other things that aren’t carbs If I really think about it I probably eat carbs maybe once or twice a meal I always try to make one meal my day just completely carb-less. There’s addicting components in carbs I just try my best not to fall into the cravings. I found that I gradually wean off carbs I stop ordering fries at restaurants Get a side salads instead You already treat yourself out because you are eating that freaking yummy burger There’s really not need to overindulge in that pile of garlic fries Even though it’s really good Your body’s going to thank you after When I’m eating pizza I won’t eat the crust even though that’s my favorite part especially if there is garlic dipping sauce in it. When you’re eating sandwich, take a one slice of bread off. So it’s kind an open-face sandwich And when I am deciding which bread to flip off from the sandwich, I always make sure I keep this side of bread that is soaked with yummy sauces Whether it’s light mayo Or like honey mustard Something like that I just keep that side and throw the rest of the carbs away They’re very subtle changes but gradually they're going to help you wean off the carbs and just be a lot more healthy. Number 3 remix your meals that means that recipes are unconfined to what it says on the paper or what already comes to your meal remember you can modify your recipes you can add things in and take things out For example, instant noodles are one of my favorite meals You know it’s kind of a staple of a college student But I do with my meals is that I break off half of the noodles So I just use one-half And then I put everything in on and you know I'll add zucchini or I'll add broccoli or spinach, kale or tofu just anything to add more nutrients to my meal All that veggies and fibers Just gonna fill you up faster You’ll realize that you don’t really need all the noodles So Although you are eating a sodium-packed meal My personal things is I just try to avoid carbs and that’s what worked for me Whatever mediocre meal I am cooking at night I’ll just add some broccoli on the side or some steamed veggies. It just makes the components of a meal just a lot healthier You will feel a lot better about yourself seeing some color in your meals And just those baby steps that are gonna help you Don’t really worry about the calories. I never count calories I used to count calories in high school, and thats when i was the biggest It was so bizarre Focus on what kind of nutrition you are eating, you just make everything a lot smoother and easier Four Water is your best friend I have this canteen for probably a year now And it’s kind of my safety blanket It’s always around 24/7 It’s always next to me when I am filming I am at school Next to my bedstand when i wake up you know I get thirsty in the middle of the night I just start chugging the water Try to sip water maybe three or four times an hour And you’ll realize that most time when you’re hungry, You either just thirsty or you just bored So water can be your best friend Ditch the soda and ditch the juice and I stopped drinking soda probably in high school and that helped a lot You might as well just eat the actual fruit because although some juices have some vitamins in it You lose all the fiber which is what burns the calories when you are digesting it Juice is essentially just liquefied sugar So if you are looking for the vitamins or nutrients I would say you just to eat actual fruit because then you get filled up You get vitamins and it’s just nice to chew on something rather than just you know just shoveling and drizzle down your mouth I prefer chewing it Five Exercise Of course you need it I’ve heard somewhere I don’t remember where that losing weight is eighty percent of your diet and twenty percent of exercise I think exercise is important if you want to have a toned sexy body If I am not going to do cardio I’ll just stay indoors and do Blogilates which is one of my favorite Youtubers Her name is Cassey Ho and she has great workout videos that are around five to nineteen minutes long some of them And I just do it at my room and I try to do that probably four to five times a week That’s for strength training And I absolutely love her She has this vivacious and bubbly energy And she does the work out with you and she talks with you entire way and she just I just love her I think she’s the one who keeps me going to exercise So you’re ever watching this Cassey I want to say thank you for molding my body to what it is right now I used to cardio in the summer so that’s why I was using treadmill all the time I would run maybe two to three miles three to four times a week but I stopped doing that because it’s so cold to go onside to the gym I know it’s a stupid excuse but I think holiday really kind of fatten me up and make me a little bit more lazy I probably back into the group that once weather warms up But I find that listening to music and exercising didn’t help me at all. Music just wasn't enough of a distraction to me That’s how much I hate working-out I would usually just put a youtube players on my smartphone and I just watch youtube videos as I working out. Another trick is to walk everywhere if you park your car somewhere Forget the parking lot that’s right next to CVS Go and park all the way to the end where the trees are Or where I don’t know some giant cow plantation is Just park as far as you can and walk to the drug store Every step counts It’s all about gradual build-up Usually if I’m craving something on in workout I’ll start painting my nails or something I'll do my homework I’ll pound a really long sip of water I think your body is always playing tricks on you It’s always saying that oh you’re so hungry You want this cupcake No you don’t need that cupcake You are in control of your own body And if you want to lose ten pounds you can do it You know how to lose weight No one wants to hear it but it’s essentially the same thing You gotta change your diet and you gotta exercise Those are the main two things These are the little small changes I made to my life I’m not saying that I did these “BAM” overnight" I think I start developing each rule around I don’t know five to six months apart If you mess up one day it's ok It’s okay to mess up You know you are human you have needs and cravings But just don’t give up Every meal is another chance to you know fix your diet I suppose If you have any diet tips down below Feel free to let us know and remember if you don’t agree with something I am saying I am saying to you guys that I am not a dietitian I am not a doctor not a physician I am just a normal girl who did these things to lose weight If you have instagram My user name is IMJENNIM You can follow me if you’d like So I’ll talk to you in my next video and see you later Bye
