Day 15 of My Fat-Loss Meal Plan - Only 2 Pounds Lost, I Need to Get Moving!
49-year-old Yan Ni looks youthful, mainly because of her body shape. As for me, at 30 years old, I also need to change my image from being a 'grandma'. After 7 days of dietary changes, I realized the process is too slow, and 'taking a step forward' is really necessary!
Today is my 15th day of low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber diet for weight loss. The lack of significant weight change has made me hesitant to share it with everyone, because I've added exercise, and I comfort myself by saying it's due to an increase in muscle mass, which is causing my weight to remain stable. However, I'm still a bit anxious because I've given myself 30 days to lose 6 kilograms, and halfway through, I've only lost 2 kilograms – that's only a third! To avoid looking foolish, I've decided to slightly deprive myself. The first picture is of 49-year-old Yan Ni, and the second picture is of me, a 32-year-old with a 'beer belly'!
Yan Ni's great figure
A disastrous appearance, I don't want to admit it's my beer belly and broad back.
Breakfast: Purple rice with red dates porridge and eggs, plus mashed sweet potato. I wake up at 6:00 AM. I put a handful of black rice and several red dates into a rice cooker, crushing them into a nutritious, filling rice porridge. Just a few dates – about three – are enough, and the slight date aroma satisfies you without craving sweets. I've summarized my food cravings, and I believe that slightly satisfying them will prevent you from losing control, and regular scheduled satisfying will also help. You won't overeat!
Because it's only for one person, I added five red dates and 1300ml of water. The whole family of five can drink it perfectly.
The picture shows the entirety of my breakfast: a small sweet potato, an egg, a piece of fish, and a bowl of rice porridge – high in protein, high in fiber, and with an appropriate amount of carbohydrates, a perfect fat-reducing meal!
Lunch is a small bowl of mashed potatoes, cured pork, and wood ear mushrooms. I really love this dish! Mashed potatoes can substitute for main dishes, the savory flavor of cured pork and the crisp texture of wood ear mushrooms satisfy my appetite.
A fist-sized lunch.
For dinner, yam is a great main dish and high-fiber vegetables are excellent. Yam contains various trace elements, rich in vitamins and minerals, especially potassium, and has a relatively low calorie content and is rich in dietary fiber, which prevents you from feeling hungry before bed and has the effect of slimming and having a healthy body. Your actions can influence those around you. Now, everyone in my family is leaning towards my diet, and they all eat more healthily and reasonably – this is a kind of example!
Dinner.
In addition to reducing carbohydrates, I've also reduced the amount, and the caloric deficit is 500 calories. Combined with one hour of indoor cycling, which burns 300 calories, the total calorie consumption is 800 calories. It's theoretically feasible to lose 2 kilograms in about 10 days. Many people shout about weight loss, but they don't take action. Many people start dieting for a few days and then give up. They don't succeed because weight loss is a process that requires long-term 'controlling your appetite, exercising'. When you reverse your body's fat storage function, your weight will decrease slowly, and you must do it slowly, otherwise, extreme dieting can damage your health and increase the risk of your immunity decline. We want to be beautiful, but we also want to be healthy! To achieve the goal of losing 6 kilograms in 30 days, I must persist in exercising and losing weight. My waist and abdomen are the key areas to exercise, and I choose crunches, sit-ups, and indoor cycling.
I am Xiao Ma, a who is determined to get a good figure. Let's work together!
