Foods that helped me lose 12 pounds in 5 weeks 🧛🏼♀️
Usually food helps me lose weight faster than working out and I do lose weight faster than most people! Just a disclaimer because I’ve been like this for years so my weight have always fluctuated since I was a teenager.
now these are some of my favorite meals I’ve eaten for lunch that have kept me full and satisfied until dinner! I started at 277 now I’m at 260 I count only 12 because I had on shoes and clothes when weight myself so I take a good 5 pounds off for that. I also go to the gym 3 days a week since I work full time and sometimes I’ll go 4 times a week. I do cardio (treadmill) and I do lifts on legs. That’s mainly what I’ve been doing but I may also work with doing more RDLS and stuff.
All of my meals consist of eating a high number of protein, mainly chicken and beans and then of course veggies are the main star. For lunch I like to eat salads cause other carbs make me feel tired so if I eat rice I do so at night so I can sleep lol. I tend to try and switch up my meals but I mainly meal prep so I don’t over eat or eat outside of my deficit. I do use calorie counting apps but I find them too confusing and I just make sure to intake properly for my macros and make sure I’m getting protein in every meal and less fats.
These aren’t all of my meals but I ate them a lot for a few weeks and so far I’m loving the results! I do take vitamins, but I’m still new to this so I’m still finding things that work lol.
Let me know if I need to do a breakdown on the recipes I’ll try lol!
Losing weight effectively often relies on a combination of healthy eating and regular exercise. In my case, incorporating high-protein meals, especially chicken and beans, has proven to be extremely beneficial. For lunch, I favor salads that are rich in vegetables and proteins. Meals such as a Chicken Strawberry Salad with Avocado and Walnuts and a Black Beans, Corn, and Chicken Salad topped with Buffalo Sauce have been my go-to options. Experimenting with various recipes has also been key; for instance, a delicious Taco Bowl with Arugula, Chicken, Homemade Pico de Gallo, and Corn Beans adds variety to my meals without compromising on nutrition. Meal prepping not only helps in managing portion sizes but also keeps me aligned with my macro goals throughout the week. In addition to meals, staying hydrated and taking vitamins play supportive roles in my weight loss journey. It's important to listen to your body and adjust your intake based on how you feel, especially concerning carbohydrate intake before bedtime. For those seeking to shed pounds, understanding how different foods interact with your energy levels can make a significant difference.
