All things weight loss!

HERE ARE ALL THE THINGS I LIKE THAT HELP AID WEIGHT LOSS.
you can pick and choose what might work best for you and help you maintain or drop a few extra pounds.


Fat Burners & Pre Workouts
Forskolin helps burn fat, helps with asthma and skin problems. I have a youtube video talking about this product and its what I am currently using. Link below.


Vega sport all natural and vegan pre workout. It gives you the perfect amount of energy !


Cleansing
I like smooth move a lot. I know its a little uncomfortable to talk about but it really helps get rid of extra "stuff" clogged up in our belles.


Oolong tea.
this helps aid in proper digestion and speed up the metabolism.

Matcha green tea
another tea that is one of the best #1 part of the body is burns fat from is the stomach. I love this tea, and unfortunately I am allergic to it but when I drank this consistently my stomach was FLAT!!


This cleanse I have used a couple times for jump starting my weight loss and it really does put in work.
Acai Super cleanse for 14 days really helps eliminate backed up stuff from the colon!


Workouts
Some things I like to help me sweat more during a workout

Sweet Sweat this stuff makes you sweat more in those hard to sweat places


Sweat belt: Here is the one I have but there are others you can choose from on amazon

Workout Recovery

Vega sport recovery another product from vega I really like

Protein powder
For a few years now I have tried a few protein powders this one is not only affordable but gets the job done and tastes pretty good

Wheybolic is another one I tried and I love that is sweetened with stevia also tastes great!

These are all the things that have definitely helped me. They all work they are all pretty affordable. And you don't need every single one. Just find what you think will suit you best. These are just products I personally use and know work.

hope this helps :)

Week One Meal Ideas

A lot of us have jobs and need to have a fast but healthy breakfast, then we only get 30 minutes break at work and need to go to the quickest fast food spot or heat up a frozen dinner loaded with sodium and but the time we get home from work we need to figure out what to make for dinner and then again we either heat up a frozen dinner, order out or swing by a fast food place on the way.

Well ill say this first, these meal ideas are to help make your choices easier but the commitment sometimes isn't easy. Especially if this is a transition you haven't made before. Luckly there are plenty of affordable and time consuming options.

I like to cook things in threes. Im not a major meal prep person because I like to have my food as fresh as possible 7 meals in advance chillin in my fridge isn't for me. Three days ahead I can do.

Breakfast Ideas:

2-3 hard boiled eggs, half grapefruit and some green tea. ( trader joes has pre boiled eggs that come in handy if you need to eat breakfast on the go.) I like to add a little hot sauce to mine and stevia to my grapefruit.

1 slice of ezeikeil bread (any kind I like raisin) with a table spoon of almond butter and half a banana on the side or on top! its great :)

1/3 cup of oatmeal with some fresh berries, almond milk (unsweetend), stevia and cinnamon

3 egg whites one whole egg scrambled mixed with vegetables of your choice and some hot sauce. (this is probably one of the best) slice some avocado on tip.


Morning snacks:

the other half of your banana from the a.m. and table spoon of raw sun flower seeds, almonds or walnuts.

quest bar

pineapple and some mixed berries with organic string cheese ( i like to cut out dairy the first week but this is fine)

table spoon of almond butter with an apple


Lunch:

I like to pre make about 3 chicken breast or 3 99% lean turkey patties.

chicken with broccoli, spinach and some hot sauce.

ground turkey patty with zucchini pasta

shrimp with zucchini pasta and earth balance butter is one of my favorite lunches you can get a Veggeti on amazon aka vegetable spaghetti. I love this thing and it makes the meal more fun.

Salad with chicken/tuna/turkey/avocado any vegetables you like and some oil and vinegar or any dressing you choose thats healthy. I like brags liquid amino acids and hot sauce.

Snack:
any of the previous will do

Dinner:

Dinner is the smallest meal for me.

I like roasted vegetables with some chicken or turkey

Cauliflower mash with some protein is also great

For this I just say Protein and a Vegetable.

Frozen veggies are convenient and you can use one of your pre cooked proteins. (if you make more than 3 free your protein so they last longer)

dinner is a hard one for me because its typically the same.


hope this gives you a little idea for week one on what you can eat so you don't feel like you are a little bird. lol

xo.

Please keep me updated with your progress!

MY WEIGHT LOSS MUST HAVES


In this blog ill be sharing some things I believe to be essential for weight loss. The first week changing up a diet routine is usually the week we lose the most. Because of water weight and a drastic transition.
Here are some things I find to be MUST HAVES!

Forskolin! I've tried Garcinia Cambogia, CLA fat burners, amongst other things and I just wasn't impressed. I recently tried this forskolin and I have to say I am so impressed with the results I had using this supplement. I believe is helped me not have as many plateaus and I also believe it helped speed up the process of my weight loss. Below I'll link the exact product I used and purchased myself.


My next weight loss must have is TEA! There are two teas I like specifically although one I can no longer drink because I'm allergic to it. But before I knew I was allergic, man, my abs were on point! 
Matcha green tea. Ill say this one for cost sake and it'll last far longer than the other tea I love so much which is (monkey picked oolong from teavana) the number one part of the body matcha burns fat from in the stomach! If you don't mind a green taste then you will enjoy this. When you click the link above search for Matcha Green Tea (organic is better) 

Next when you are on the go and you are in a position where its either eat a donut or a piece of cake QUEST BARS ARE YOUR OTHER BESTIE! From he flavors to the simple ingredients they really are someone anyone on a health journey should cary with them for an emergency. My favorites are the oreo and chocolate chip so I will link those two options below. (I have used these as a meal replacement front time to time) 

Search Quest Bars From Previous Link 

If you are someone who is a snacker and you like things to be on the more savory side QUEST NUTRITION CHIPS are to die for and are also a life saver. 21 grams of protein low carb and taste great. Another nice little back up to have if you feel like you really need something to hold you over. 

Search quest chips from previous link 

For those of you who need to lose more than 20 pounds I recommend the HCG diet. It's worked really well for me and for the people who stick to it. In this diet challenge its completely optional and you can check this next link out below. Ill also link a video of my most recent results.  This is completely optional!

Botox update: 24 years old with Botox

Hello,

I know I said I'd check in after a couple days after having my Botox. But it didn't start to kick in until the 3rd day. My forehead looked a little weird because I could kind of move it but I still had
ripples. After two weeks it took its full effect. I must say I AM IN LOVE! 

I feel it gives my face a nice look. I still have some expression and I can lift part of my brows. I'll post some recent photos. My make up doesn't crease up in the lines of my forehead and it just looks so smooth. This is something I definitely want to do in the future again.
