After writing the YES WE CAN pledge , I realized that aside from a fab workout wardrobe , we need an actual plan! Looking good on the outside is fab but let’s clean our filthy insides first.So I am not here to boast on my dieting or cleansing capabilities , but having been on every possible fad diets in the entire universe , yes litterally!!! (my Bestie can attest to this) I pretty much know a thing or two about losing and gaining.

One thing I omitted to mention is how much I HATE is those workout videos of people going on an on about how they did it by buying this and that but come on there is only one solution and everyone know what it is right ?

Calories in——Calories out

1 Pound = 3500 calories

So in order to lose 2 pounds a week , we need a deficit of 7000 calories?Math not your forte?neither is it mine but put simply

Just breathing we burn 800 calories in 24 hour cycle, we need to consume 1200 calories per day plus move and extra 800-1000 , that is like walking a few hours at a slow to moderate pace and easily we can lose 1 pound a week.

Let’s prep our bodies to take-on the gym or the outdoors.

For one week we cannot do the following:

-No alcohol

-No soda

-No refined sugar

-No fried anything !!!!come just for a week

-No desserts

-No Pasta

-No White bread

But we have to switch everything whole :

-Whole grain

-Whole milk

-Butter-No Margarine

-Nothing in our bodies that ends with OSE , GlucOSE,fructOSE etc…

-Nothing that we cannot read off the label, and if you can read and can’t describe exactly what it is and where it comes from,DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR BODY -NO EXCUSES

-Swap coffee for tea

-Make Kale chips instead of really chips-in all seriousness they are good !

-Eat pomegranate-it’s a great antioxidant and it’s in season
