Hello. My name is Danielle and this is my weight loss plan. I am so excited because I realized this plan is almost the opposite of a diet.
The information here can turn your weight loss journey into success. I still follow mostly all the things in this plan right now!
A miracle happened in my life that helped me lose the pounds. When COVID hit, everyone told us to stay inside the house. Because of this, everything I ate was what I could find in the kitchen. I then noticed that I had lost some weight.
When I told someone, they said, they gained weight during COVID. They told me they got a lot of food delivered to their home. No wonder! I lost weight and I want to give everyone this opportunity that God placed in my lap.
No GLP-1 drugs!
I gave you the true answer already! You can lose weight just by eating most of your meals at home! However, you may need some tips to keep it off in the Real World.
The rest of this blog is an online weight loss program that helps you lose weight and keep it off. If you follow all of the plan, mainly on this current blog post, it will work better.
1. Try to stop ordering delivery. What you should do is order takeout. Call the restaurant or order inside, and take it to go.
2. When I say eat food, I mean all food, except FAST FOOD. No, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger King, Carl's Jr. etc. You can still eat at restaurants for breakfast, for Waba Grill (California), pizza, Chinese food, and donuts etc... I also eat at restaurants like WingStop because it is not fast food. It takes a while for them to make it. You can eat at Applebee’s, Chili’s, Olive Garden, etc. for dine-in or take-out only.
The one food you may miss, are hamburgers. You should only eat hamburgers once a month, but not the ones at fast food restaurants. You should eat the burger at a casual or dine-in restaurants like Chili’s, Applebee’s, etc.
3. This is the BEST exercise for weight loss at home. For exercise, I do 20 Jumping Jacks a day. You can start low, and do more over time. I don’t do any other exercises, because it’s mainly all about the food, but it works!
To help you breathe, count each jump and say the number you are on. This is the only exercise you need to lose weight and keep it OFF! You Will be sore in the morning, but it goes away. Remember, that means it's working!
4. Now, what can I eat?! Anything in the kitchen is fair game. Go stock up at the grocery store. Do not eat the prepared food at the store, except for the rotisserie chicken.
Cook for yourself or have someone do it for you. Heat up something, microwave it, deep fry it or air fry it (p.s., air fryers are great to eat already frozen fried french fries, chicken strips, tater tots, etc.)
I personally don’t cook well, and sometimes for dinner, you don’t know what to eat. Do not sleep on microwave TV dinners. The first thing people say about them, is “oh, the sodium is high.” Think about it. If you eat fast food, the sodium is through the roof!
They may seem a little expensive, but all you do at night is follow the directions and microwave it for 10 minutes or less. The average calories of TV dinners are about 350 calories, which is almost nothing. Try some out and see how you like it when there’s nothing for dinner.
Also, at dinner, eat some vegetables. TV dinners have a few vegetables. I like pears, bananas, and any fruit with Tajin on it (except grapes...not good with Tajin.)
But of course, you can eat what you want. I suggest you go to the grocery store with a list (so you won't overspend). Get whatever you want.
The bible says God blesses those who eat a lot of food and those who eat a little amount of food the same.
5. The schedule: I eat breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack, dinner, dessert, and a snack before I go to bed. For working people, you will have to do this at certain specific hours. My schedule is based on time. You will never be hungry.
Staying at home:
- 11:30 am – Breakfast
- 1:00 pm – snack
- 2:30 pm – Lunch
- 4:00 pm -snack
- 5:30 pm - Dinner and dessert
- 8:30 pm - snack
A working schedule:
7 am – eat a frozen breakfast sandwich or burrito (donut or pastry) at home or in car on the way to work.
10am - 15 minute break – eat snack (bring or buy)
12 pm - Lunch – Eat whatever! Except fast food.
2pm - 15 minute break - eat snack
4pm - snack
6pm - Dinner – Eat TV dinner or cook whatever
Eat dessert – something sweet
Snack before bed – eat snack before going to sleep
6. I know you have heard this before…The only way to lose weight is to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and change your lifestyle. I don’t agree! I believe that method will Ruin Your Life! That is not the only way to lose weight. When I hear people say that, my heart drops a little.
7. Remember – everything in moderation. Don’t eat out every day, even if you have the money. Snacks – to keep you from eating the whole bag put some in a paper towel or a sandwich bag. You can also have a cheat day to eat some fast food if you want.
8. RECENT UPDATE – After I lost the weight, I had a great body, but about after 3 years, my body skin started to not be tight. I’m still at my low weight. I found out that if you lose weight quickly, your skin will get a little loose. Of course I was upset. I believe in the future, I may try to get my extra skin to be removed by minimally invasive surgery.
That is all folks. You can read my post about Stretches not Exercising, but lose weight first. It happened to me after 3 years. I listed some stretches and tips.
