  • The easiest way to keep calories down is to meal plan with healthy ingredients. My usual routine that could be broken once in a while when I felt like it or went out was:

    Breakfast: one bowl of Cheerios/corn flakes or unsweetened oatmeal.

    Lunch: a large salad with whatever you want just not too much dressing (hint: using Tupperware to toss the salad lowers the amount of dressing you need) or tofu and broccoli sauteed in teriyaki sauce

    Snack: whatever you want just don’t go overboard with it

    Dinner: a protein bar or protein shake

    Combine that with 30 minutes cardio and another 30 of weight training five days a week.

    I personally lost around 10 pounds a month. It takes a lot of dedication to keep it up though but you can see results in about two months to keep you motivated. Frankly this only worked because I was an onsite employee the whole time, working remote gives way more temptation to eat.









  • I lost about 60 pounds over 6 months before by doing a simple calorie deficit of 1200 Calories/day but eating very lean and green. Mostly just tofu and broccoli along with an hour of exercise (30minutes cardio minimum) 5 times per week. It definitely doesn’t hurt to make sure you’re getting enough natural vitamins in you to keep your system from losing valuable nutrients.

    To answer your question: a pound of fat is roughly 3,400 Calories so it doesn’t matter where they come from, only that they can be burned off through concentrated and sensible effort.
