Starting this today. Fingers crossed 🤞

I started this yesterday. I’m currently on day two and I kind of want to continue my fast. Though, I am going to try and follow this to see if it works. So I may eat a rice cake before work (waitressing) wish me luck.

Great 2020 with a great bod

Okay so, you may be thinking that it’s still early to be thinking about 2020, but having achievable goals within a longer time span is the best option for succeeding!

This plan is for July - January (6 months) and with this plan, you can lose 18kg (35lbs) absolutely safely, no major restricting, which means no binging.

This plan is safer than most of those you see here on the ana side of Tumblr. However, you should also take yourself into account. If your TDEE (see below) is less than 1600 a day, you shouldn’t lose 1.5lbs a week like this plan says, but do it at a slower rate of 1lb.

Here are the steps:

Calculate your TDEE. Your TDEE is your total daily energy expenditure. It takes into account your height, weight, age, gender, physical activity and a couple more things. It’s basically how much calories you burn every day doing what you do. It’s a really accurate base point to calculate how many calories less you need to eat.

This plan is about 26 weeks. To safely lose weight without the risk of binging we want to lose a pound and a half a week (a bit less than ¾ of a kg). 1lb = 3500 cal, so to lose 1.5lb a week you need to have a 5250 cal deficit. That’s a 750 cal deficit a day. Let’s take Tina for example. Tina is 165cm and female and at the age of 19. She doesn’t do much sports so weighs 65kg. Her TDEE would be 1710 calories a day. To lose a pound a week she needs to eat 960 cal a day. Simple, right? At the end of the plan, Tina would weigh 47kg, an underweight BMI, meaning that she probably shouldn’t go through with the entire plan, and stop when she’s happy with her weight.

Now Tina knows how much she needs to eat she can begin to use calorie cycling. Calorie cycling means that the amount of calories she eats every day is different. This means that your metabolism doesn’t ‘fall asleep’, getting rid of the dreaded plateau. Tina calculates she needs to eat 6720 cal a week under this plan. She then distributes that across the week unevenly. That means that on Monday she might eat 1,000 cal but on Tuesday she eats 750 and on Wednesday she eats 1050. Simple yet effective.

Then you can look up what kind of food you can eat. To keep you and your body healthy you need to eat plenty of nutrients from fruits and veggies. At the beginning of the week, sit down and plan what you’re going to eat for the week, choosing healthy, wholesome meals that fit into the number of calories should need to eat that day. If you plan out what you need to eat that way, it makes shopping easier and cooking less of a hassle. It also means that you can pre-cook some of the meals so you don’t have to put too much effort into it. By planning, you reduce the chance of binging.

If you do binge, don’t worry. Let’s say Tina ate 2500 cal on Wednesday because she went to a restaurant and ate stuff she didn’t know the calories off. She’s already had 1700 cal this week from Monday and Tuesday. She adds up 1700 and 2500 to see how much she’s eaten this week and then she takes that away from the number of calories she had to eat this week, in this case, 6720-4200= 2520. She then redistributes it across the days remaining, 2520÷ 4= 630. This is the number of calories she needs to eat to still lose 1.5lbs. However, as eating 630 each day is not healthy, Tina decides to combine the total cal of next week to the number of cals she has left this week (2520). 6720+2520= 9240 calories. So, now Tina knows that to get back on track, she needs to eat 9240 cal across 11 days. This leaves her with 840 cals a day. Tina is much more happy with eating that many calories for 11 days.

Another thing that you need to do is recalculate your TDEE every 5kg/11lbs you loose. This is because the less you weigh, the less you need to eat to maintain it. According to this plan, that’s every 3.3 weeks.

After doing all the steps above, Tina, and you, are on the fast, but safe track of getting that perfect new-years body to rock your outfit and great 2020 how you want it to end- with you being happy with your body.

Good luck, and stay safe 💕

(P.S, this is basically my summer plan copied and changed up a bit so it can still be relevant).

You’re doing this with half your brain tied behind your back and that’s pretty badass

“Half your brain tied behind your back” is truly the most accurate description of my life I could possibly imagine
