Lifestyle | Diet Update

It's been a while since I did a diet update but I wanted to do an update and let everyone know how I'm getting on. I started a strict and much more control diet in January and wanted to share what I'm doing and also do around every 1 month an update. I'm not doing weekly updates as I find them to be quite similar with not much changing so it will be for now every month.





My food intake is very strict and I'm limited to 1200 calories a day, this was my Dr's doing so I have asked for medical advice. I have found and created a great healthy diet that I enjoy and can switch up when needed :

Breakfast - Glass of water, bowl of 0% fat Greek style yogurt with granola and berries

Lunch - Slim fast shake with a small handful of fruit

Dinner - A homecooked meal 500 calories, small glass of juice

Snack - plain popcorn, fruit, vegetables, small amount of chocolate, quavers, water

I am tracking on MyFitnessPal as this is the easiest way to see my calories intake and to also see where I'm going wrong. I can track all the information I need on there and it's a great place to look back and see how well I'm doing.

Workout's are very important to a diet regime and it's one that I've thought hard about, after trying to many different styles of workout's I've put together a plan that I feel works best for me and that's HIIT workouts. I do them 3-4 times a week and follow plans online through YouTube, this is a great way to get proper advice and to seek fitness from professionals. I started my workouts after the first month as I wanted my body to adjust to my change in food first then to pick up on the exercise once I was ready.

The first month of January after switching my food around I lost 4 pounds this is due to falling of the bandwagon a handful of times and also having around 4 days of eating junk. 

For February I've lost another 4 pounds which I'm happy about and have confirmed with my Dr that this is a good amount to lose. At the end of March I am feeling lighter and my clothes are loose so I can tell I've defiantly lost some more weight!

Have you started a healthy fitness plan for 2018? how are you getting on?
