What I ate to lose weight + my workout routine:

I have received so many messages asking me to go in DEPTH on exactly what I’ve been doing over the last 2.5 months to have lost close to 15lbs! So let’s do that. Here’s a typical day of eating and week of workouts for me! 

First let’s talk about food, this is the most important piece to get under control if you want to lose weight. Discipline and consistency is key. No restrictions and crazy extremes, just mindlessly following the plan and overtime, seeing the results. 

When I started in March, I was eating at a 500 calorie per day deficit. I used my Oura Ring to see how much I was burning per day. To get specific, I burn on average about 2,000 calories per day, sometimes more, sometimes less. So my intake became 1500 calories per day. Here’s what a typical day would look like — 

Supplements: Seed & ARMRA 

Breakfast: 2-3 eggs, sourdough toast with jelly, handful of berries. Coffee black (or a splash of milk just watch those calories, they sneaky and add up) – I usually add a serving of ARMRA powder as well.

350 cals 

PRO TIP: Don’t drink your calories! So seltzers, water, black coffee etc. are great. I cut alcohol completely for the last 2 weeks but before that I allowed 2 drinks per week! Just keep in mind your body can’t burn fat until you’ve burned all the alcohol so if you’re drinking everyday or every other day, weight loss is near impossible. 

Snack: Elite Core Power Protein drink (42 grams of protein) 

230 cals 

Lunch: Fage Greek yogurt (0%) w/ berries, cookie granola and honey 

300-350 cals

[Additional lunch or snack option]

Sour dough (When Pigs Fly)

Cottage Cheese & Half Avocado on top

Drizzle honey

Salt 

220 cals (or x2 for lunch)

Snack: Chomps meat stick & caffeine (Gorgie) 

110 cals

Dinner: Chicken and rice, tacos, steak, burgers

400-500 cals

Dessert: 3-4 Cherry Tru Fru & a seltzer 

90 cals

Grand total: ~1500 calories 

An easy way to think about it for me was 500 calories per meal. Or a little less and add in a couple snacks throughout the day. 

Of course, there were days where my eating looked a little different but this was the framework. Really the most important thing is just staying in the calorie deficit — so if I felt like I wanted something off the usual meal plan that was more calories, I would just make sure I was making up for it at some point that week. It’s good to focus on your week as a whole and not obsess over every single day. Some days you’ll eat more and burn less but as long as the average is there per week, you will see results.

For workouts, I do a mix of lifting heavy (2x per week), Lagree Megaformer classes (2x per week) and walking (incline 2x per week, low and slow 4x per week). I try to walk everyday if I can but it doesn’t always happen. But this really helps with calorie burn if you’re getting your steps in every day. But again, think of it in terms of weeks. If you miss a day, just walk a little longer the next day. 

For lifting, one of my best friends put a workout together for me that’s full body. This is the second iteration since I finished the first 8 week program. It looks like this —

Just because I do Lagree doesn’t mean you have to to see results! If you lift and walk that is plenty. I just genuinely enjoy going to a class and love Lagree. If you’re looking for outfit ideas – check out this one that I’m wearing in the picture above.

I hope this helps you and let me know if you have any questions!! Love you all. xx. Click these links if you’d like to go back and read Part 1 and Part 2!
