So there you have it. Now before you just exit out and say “nope, never going to do that” let me just give you a couple of tips.
1: Make a smoothie every day for your first meal. Instead of using regular yogurt, use the light yogurts to save yourself 50+ calories a day. Also, while making your smoothie use cashew milk instead of any other type. Cashew milk is only 25 calories a cup. Also, always add a lot of ice to make it feel like you’re eating more than you actually are.
2: Buy lots of Progresso Light soups. They have SO MANY. You’ll never get sick of them and the highest calorie soup they have is only 250 calories for a whole can.
3: Get your carry out salad, girl! But, if you are getting one just count it as 600-800 (or more) calories or more depending on what you have in there and what type of dressing you’re using. I always add chicken, have some type of cheese in there and I am most likely getting it with ranch.
For the takeaway from this post, just make sure you are eating 1,200 calories a day. Eat what you want, for me it was obviously a lot of smoothies, soups and salads but stay in your calorie goal. To lose weight you MUST be in a calorie deficit.
There’s only 120 days till summer people, so let’s get to work!
