❝tea popscicles❞ (ana friendly)

ok, I’ll share with my dear comunity this amazing ana friendly popscicles :D

I’m an ultimate tea lover, so I have tons and tons and tons of tea boxes in my house, so my recipes can really vary; I can do chai, berry, chamomile, honey, vanilla, peach, hibiscus, lavender, lemon, black, green- REALLY A LOT.

And, since tea is either calorie-free or REALLY low in calories, well color me happy :D

▒Ingredients;;▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

✧;;tea

✧;;water

✧;;sweetener (optional)

✧;;fruit (optional)

✧;;popscicle mold (as a mexican, I can tell you that a plastic cup and a spoon also works ;) )

▒Instructions;;▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

✧;;Cold or hot-brew the tea twice as strong as you normally would. Make enough tea to fill your popsicle mold. If you’re using a loose-leaf tea, strain the tea.

✧;;If you’re unhappy with the flavor, you can add a sweetener. Splenda always works for me, it’s about 3 calories a sweetener bag ;) Ofc, you can leave it like that

✧;;If you wanna feel rIsKyY you can use honey, it’s 64 calories a spoon if it’s completely natural.

✧;;If you do chai, english breakfast, earl grey or any other black tea mix and want to add milk, just a spoon of milk will be enough, and that’s about 9 calories.

✧;;You can add fruit if you want, just keep it natural.

cravings masterpost

over the years, i have been taught what certain cravings mean and how i can replace them in a healthy way. so i figured, why not share it with you guys? 

if you crave chocolate…

your body needs magnesium. a quick fix for this is raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits. 

if you crave sweets…

your body might need some of the following: 

-chromium - have some broccoli, grapes, cheese, or chicken. 

-carbon - chow down on some fresh fruit. 

-phosphorus - chicken, eggs, legumes, or grains can help. 

-tryptophan - similar to magnesium, have some raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits. 

if you crave bread or toast… 

your body needs nitrogen. have some high protein foods such as fish, meat, nuts, or beans. 

if you crave fatty foods… 

your body needs calcium. broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help. 

if you crave alcohol… 

your body might need some of the following:

-protein - think seafood, dairy, or nuts. 

-avenin - chow down on some granola or oatmeal. 

-calcium - broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.  

-potassium - bitter greens or seaweed usually do the trick. 

if you crave ice cream/shaved ice… 

your body needs iron. some suggestions are fish, greens, seaweed, or black cherries. 

if you crave burned or grilled food… 

your body needs carbon. chow down on some fresh fruits. 

if you crave soda and carbonated drinks… 

your body needs calcium.  broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.

if you crave salty foods…

your body needs chloride. goat milk (yes i know that’s a little odd) and fish help. 

if you crave acid foods (burgers)… 

your body needs magnesium. just like chocolate, have some raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits. 

if you crave cool drinks (milkshakes or malts)… 

your body needs manganese. some suggestions are walnuts, pecans, almonds, pineapple, or blueberries. 

if you’re PMS-ing… 

your body needs zinc. red meat, seafood, leafy greens, and root vegetables are helpful. 

if you’re overeating… 

your body might need some of the following: 

-silicon - nuts and seeds are a quick fix. 

-tryptophan - eat some cheese, raisins, sweet potatoes, or spinach.

-tyrosine - vitamin c supplements should do the trick. 

if you crave tobacco…

your body might need some of the following: 

-silicon - nuts and seeds help, but stay away from refined starches. 

-tyrosine - vitamin c supplements or red, orange, or green fruits and veggies can help. 

disclaimer: i am not a health professional in any way, this is just advice i have been given over the years.

You guys asked for it, so now here it is:

HOW I TURNED FROM THIS, TO THAT

(from november 2018 to april 2019)

First of all and most importantly:

I do not, under any circumstances promote eating disorders. I want to show people that the unhealthy tips they read on here are wrong and really dangerous. Here are some healthy tips that are working and don‘t make you die. If you‘re underweight please don‘t read this. This is not for you, it won‘t even work for you. Please seek help and text me if you need someone to talk.

Now let‘s start

📝 Set an average for your calorie intake. We‘ll take 1500 calories for this example. Now change your calorie intake between +250/-250 from your average. Your calorie intake would be between 1250 and 1750. That makes things way easier. To make your metabolism work faster, change your calorie intake up everyday. For example 1250-1700-1400-and so on.

📝 Drink about 3 litres a day. Never go over 4 litres. Your brain might tell you something like „But the more water I drink, the more weight I‘ll lose.“, and that‘s complete bullshit. You‘ll die because of water poisoning and that‘s it. Water is good for you but please never drink more than 4 litres. (There might be exceptions I don‘t know about, I‘m talking about healthy people)

📝 Now this tip is the secret tip you‘re craving for and it‘s completly healthy. Train your muscles for one hour straight. Don‘t over exercise. When your muscles are burning just right, go ahead and do some cardio. And here‘s where things get a turn. DO NOT do that cardio unit aS fAsT aS yOu CaN bEcAuSe It BuRnS mOrE cAloRiEs, because it doesn‘t. Don‘t let your heart rate go over 130bpm during that cardio unit. Your body will go straight to burning fat, because you just burned all the carbs by training your muscles.

📝 Do cheatmeals. They speed up your metabolism like crazy. I remember eating „clean“ for 4 weeks straight because I didn’t any better and after those four weeks I had pizza and some cake. I freaked out, because, as I said, I didn‘t know any better. The next morning I stepped on the scale and lost 6lbs overnight. I‘m not kidding.

📝 Don‘t expect to much of yourself. You‘re not a machine, you‘re a human being. The human body doesn‘t want to give away it‘s fat. Your body will always work against you BUT don‘t hate your body for doing that. It only wants the best for you because it loves you and so should you love your body.

So these are my tips. They‘re not many but they‘re effective and healthy. Please don‘t drink too much green tea, please don‘t starve yourself or bath in ice water. That stuff doesn‘t work. It‘ll only make you sick.

Stay safe. You can always text me if you want to. Our conversation doesn‘t have to be about weight loss, we can also talk about anything you like. I love you guys

10 Ana Tips: How I lost 55 pounds in 2.5 months

Put your laundry basket next or close to your fridge. If the dirty smell carries, it will disgust you and make you not want to eat.

Invest in perfume/body spray that smells like lemons, citrus, or oranges. The tang-y smell makes me think of lemon water and kills a lot of cravings.

Go on YouTube and search for obese/overweight youtubers (people like Amberlynn Reid). Go through their hate comments and imagine that they’re being said about you. It’s great meanspo.

Also on YouTube, search “spring break beach” and look through the videos of people on the beach. There are SO MANY beautiful, skinny girls that motivate you to strive for their body types.

Buy a game on your phone or a consol that requires you to use both hands to play. Not only will it distract you from cravings, but if you’re using both your hands, you won’t feel like you need to pick up food.

MAKE A PLAYLIST! I have multiple playlists of the most sexual, pump-up, and sad songs that I personally respond to. Before you binge, listen through one of your playlists in it’s entirety.

Take or find a picture of yourself and facetune your body into one that you like. Look at how beautiful you could be if you looked like that.

Stalk your crush on Instagram. Imagine the type of girl that they like. They definitely wouldn’t want you the way that you look now. Make them crave you.

If you’re insanely hungry, eat plain yellow mustard, hot sauce, or chili flakes. You can also mix hot sauce or spices with warm water and make a zero calorie soup.

Always apply heavy lip balm. I personally recommend carmex because it feels thick. This makes me not want to smudge or touch anything to my lips and curbs my cravings.

[icedcoffeeprince]

Here’s some random tips

These just work for me personally, I can’t promise they’ll do the same for you

if I’m trying to fast I never can if I tell myself “I’m not eating today” I always give in, so what I found works instead is if I pick a food i don’t really want but don’t hate and tell myself “if you’re hungry go eat (insert food)” but because I don’t want that food it works, ya feel?

something else is cOnSuMe AlL tHe IcE wAtER yOu CaN. I’m serious, idk why it fills me up so much (if anyone knows please tell me) but it doessss

also eating a lot of a low calorie food??? like grapes for example, 15 grapes is about 51-57 calories but that fills me up and then I’m not hungry the rest of the day. It’s magic, I swear.

I started working out at night, I’ll like the videos I’ve been following below (if I can figure out how to do that) if you wanna follow them. I’m sore af after only 2 days but I lost 2.6lbs so… worth it!

[witchy11]

ana tip #1

but what about cleaning??

CLEAN

it burns so many calories and it gives you a good alibi.

🍃clean some windows (your arms will die)

🍃scrub the shower or bathtub

🍃mob the floors

🍃dust your book shelves

🍃put on some new sheets

🍃vaccum the shit out of your carpet

🍃clean the microwave

🍃clean your oven

YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF LATER

IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO GOOD, CLEAN AND PRODUCTIVE

[prettynskinnipls]

It turns out

You will lose weight if you eat at a caloric deficit. Period.

Basic laws of thermodynamics and the universe say in a closed system,

Energy in = energy out

Your body spends energy by existing -- breathing, walking, talking, getting up to go to the bathroom, chewing on your food, pumping blood to your organs. Every single action requires energy (calories)!

There's something called TDEE, or total daily energy expenditure. It's a calculation of how much energy it requires for you to function and stay at the same weight. Obviously, it matters what heigh and weight you are -- the taller and heavier you are, the more calories you require to simply exist. You can find TDEE calculators all over the internet simply by googling.

So for example:

5'4" female @140lb: 1668 calories

5'0" female @110lb: 1429 calories

What does this mean?

In order for you to lose weight, you just need to eat less than your TDEE.

This is basic physics. The laws of the universe do not change. If you eat less than TDEE, you will lose weight, no buts or ifs. If you "binge" eat 1600 calories, but your TDEE is 1660, you will not gain weight (permanently). It's just not possible (see my notes on water weight below if you have doubts).

1lb of fat is approximately 3500 calories of deficit. In other words, that's a 500 cal deficit per day, for one week, to lose one pound.

So if your TDEE is 1600, if you eat 1100 calories everyday, you lose one pound in a week.

"But I ate at 1000cal/day and I gained .5lb this morning!!!!"

Weight is so dependent on your sodium intake, hormonal levels, what food you've eaten that day that one single scale reading means NOTHING.

Here's a picture of the scale readings over the past two months for me.

See how it fluctuates like crazy? What's important is the general trend-- although one day I may "gain" 2lbs, one week later I'll be 3lbs below that "heavy" weight. I actually recommend stepping on the scale every day, at the same time. It helps move away from "omg I gained 3lbs!!!!" and let's you accurately identify if you are actually losing weight.

So for all you people who are stressed out about eating too much, just do some basic math. Chances are, you can eat a reasonable amount and LOSE WEIGHT. For me, if I try to eat 500cal a day, I do it for one day, then binge eat the next day and ruin my progress. One pound per week may seem slow, but consider how long you e hated your weight, compared to how quickly it'll drop off.

I've hated my weight for almost 8 years now, and in just two months I've dropped 1/3 of the weight I wanted to, while eating at 1200calories a day. In that context, 6 more months of this? Easy!

1200 calories: That's a lot of food! You can eat properly with that! For example one day:

Breakfast

Coffee with condensed milk (60)

Oatmeal (150)

2boiled eggs (140)

Lunch

1cup chicken teriyaki (150)

Broccoli (50)

4 lychees (100)

Dinner

One whole avocado (220)

2 slices of bread (180)

1/2 carton halo top (140)

In conclusion: you can eat a reasonable amount of food and still lose weight (faster than restricting, bc there's wayyy less binges). Your caloric intake will depend on your height and weight-- a 5'0 woman and a 5'6" woman should not be eating the same amount.

Good luck losing weight lovelies ❄️

♡ 62 Calorie Fried Pickles with Spicy Ranch (makes 10) ♡

Disclaimer- This is NOT my photo. This is a representation of what these could look like.

☆INGREDIENTS☆

•1 egg white + 2 tbsp water (17)

•thinslim foods low carb breadcrumbs 4 tbsp (45)

•10 slices dill pickles (0)

•great value vegetable oil cooking spray (0)

•walden farms ranch 2 tbsp (0)

•franks red hot sauce 2 tbsp (0)

•[optional but recommended] seasonings~ oregano,black pepper, salt, garlic powder, parsley, paprika (0)

■SAUCE ■

In a bowl mix together Ranch and hot sauce. Optional you can add salt, pepper, garlic powder and parsley.

Allow sauce so sit in fridge while you make your pickles. Longer the sauce sits the better the flavor.

□PICKLES□

• Start by putting your 10 pickle slices on a paper towel or napkin. This will allow them to not be soggy since they will be baked

•in a bowl whisk together your egg white and water also adding 1/8th a tsp of hot sauce for an extra kick then set aside

•in another bowl add your breadcrumbs and all your optional seasonings. they are definetly recommended but you can change them to your preference

•preheat oven to 450°f while you finish preparing pickles

• now in a assembly line fashion lightly coat 1 pickle at a time in your liquid then to you breadcrumbs and set on a baking tray.

•once all are coated and on baking tray spray an even lay of cooking oil and flip them to make sure you get both sides. This will make them extra crispy.

•once ovens heated simply keep an eye on them so they dont burn. The high heat will allow then to crisp up BUT can easily burn fast. If you have an air fryer thatll work as well.

•once done simply plate with sauce :)

❤ This was a request and I hope it will work out great for everyone who enjoys fried pickles :) 80 of these are 496 calories so even with a HUGE binge youll be under 500 calories. Enjoy ❤

I AM A PROFESSIONAL CHEF SO COMMENT ANY FOODS YOUD LIKE ME TO MAKE LOW CALORIE OR PERSONAL MESSAGE/ASK SUBMISSION

[skinnymarie-again]

Informative post vol 2.

I can’t stress enough the importance of this.

Okey, so let’s talk a little bit about “omg I gained 3 pounds overnight what the hell, I’m so fat”

So i can’t really understand this logic, maybe because I learn about human body in my uni like all the time, but I just wanted to say:

General overview is this: You are literally a hole. It starts with your mouth, it ends with your anus. Your other organs and body fat are surrounding this hole. When the food moves through this “pipe” your body is absorbing nutriens, kcal and water. What it can’t absorb - mostly fiber - stays in the pipe and turns into poop. This is why they say fiber is good for you, it’s kind of uncloging your digestive system.

So imagine two scenarios. First: you ate one piece of cake which was like 500 kcal and had almost no fiber. Then you didn’t poop. The next morning your weight stays the same/ lower - you stayed under the caloric limit, and almost no fiber stayed in your digestive track. Ok, now let’s imagine you eat, let’s say, 500 kcal worth od apples (it’s probably like 6-8 apples, depemding on a size). You also ate 500 kcal, but your fiber intake is much higher. Then you didn’t poop. Next morning… You gained! But it’s not fat. And you ask yourself what the hell, I only ate 500 kcal, and just apples, that are suppose to be healthy! Well - now you know - it’s fiber, staying in your system.

And now I want to talk about getting enough fiber in your diet.

Especially if you are low-restricting, please take caution and add fiber to your diet. I promise you, you won’t gain fat because of this and it can literally save you from many diseases even like colorectal cancer. If you experience not being able to poop for a couple or days, or even a week, it probably means you really should get your fiber. All the “poop” is still in your guts, and it also makes your weight - much higher and you - bloated. Defecation is really important, so please don’t underestimate it.

If you eat mostly whole, plant-based foods you should be ok, but here is a list od high fiber foods:

So here are foods with high fiber:

- Split peas 16g/cup

- Lentils 15.5g/cup

- Black beans 15g/cup

- Baked beans 10g/cup

- Chia seeds 10g/ounce

- Green peas 9g/cup

- Raspberries 8g/cup

…and many many more.

Disclaimer: I would love to see you all recover. To be able to eat with your friends. But i know some of you won’t do this, so at least please, please, if you can do anything to do this more safely - do this.

Pardon my english, it’s not my native.

If you’d like to add something or you don’t agree on something please correct me in the coments/reblogs.

Things I’ve picked up along the way

Here’s some tips & calculations I’ve acquired over the past few months!

Tips

• stay hydrated!! 💦 Drinking more water actually makes your metabolism faster. Your metabolism is all the chemical reactions taking place in your body keeping you alive - specifically, catabolism (catabolic reactions) is responsible for converting food into energy. Proper hydration improves the transport of glucose to your cells and also improves sensitivity to insulin, which speeds up weight loss. I normally drink 2L of plain water per day, then a few cups of tea on top of that.

Drinking 0.5 litres of water is shown to increase resting metabolism by 10-30% for up to an hour. Bonus - cold water will burn even more calories as your body uses energy to warm it up.

• caffeine ☕️  will boost your metabolic rate and increase fat burning, BUT don’t drink too much. 500mg or more caffeine in one day (around 5 cups of coffee) is enough to have a significant diuretic effect. This means that it increases urine production in your kidneys to the extent where it may dehydrate you. For every cup of coffee or green tea you have, pair it with a glass of water. Drinking too much coffee can also cause your body to become tolerant to caffeine intake, meaning the positive effects on your metabolism will be lost.

• spicy food 🌶 hot foods containing peppers provide capsaicin, which boosts your metabolism! Plus, if it’s really spicy, you’re more likely to finish eating sooner and eat less overall.

• probiotics 💊 by taking probiotics, you increase the number of and diversity of ‘friendly’ bacteria 🦠 in your gut. These bacteria help you to digest food properly, and low diversity of these bacteria in your gut can contribute to weight gain. Probiotics containing strains of Lactobacillus can also help with reduction of body fat, as studies have found individuals to lose an average of 3-4% body fat over 6 weeks, and in another case 8.2-8.5% of belly fat over 12 weeks.

• take your vitamins & meds 🍊 to help make sure your body gets the nutrients it needs (minus the excess calories) take multivitamins. Specifically, vitamins B12 & Iron help to maintain a healthy metabolism and will stop you getting so dizzy. Vitamin C is also good for keeping up your immune system, which would otherwise be difficult if you’re malnourished.

If you’ve been prescribed antidepressants, take them. It’s easier to overeat when you’re down. Plus some antidepressants (e.g. citalopram) reduce your appetite significantly.

• HIIT training 🏃🏻‍♀️ intervals of walking / jogging followed by 30 second sprints are better for fat burning than low intensity, long jogs.

Your body’s aim is to maintain its energy stores, so it wants you to perform in the most efficient way. Like driving a car, repeated sudden & rapid acceleration uses more fuel. Your body will also continue to burn calories at a higher rate for hours after a HIIT workout, due to the replacement of your depleted oxygen levels after sprints. This wouldn’t be the case if your workout only included steady state cardio.

• sleep 💤 not getting enough sleep can slow down your metabolism by reducing your cell’s sensitivity to insulin. It also increases the hormone that causes hunger (ghrelin) and decreases the hormone that makes you feel full (leptin).

• try to eat fewer than 100g of carbs per day, regardless of your calorie goal 🍞

• reduce sodium intake🧂 and increase potassium intake 🍌 to decrease water retention!

• vitamin B6, dandelion extract and magnesium 🌼 also decrease water retention.

•  jelly 🍓 - Hartley’s have a ‘10 cal’ range of jellies in loads of different flavours, each pot being a maximum of 10 calories! Most flavours are less than that though, my favourite being the raspberry at 3cals per pot 

•  miso soup!! 🥣 Miso is super good for you, it has loads of different vitamins and probiotics which aid digestion (as mentioned above!) Its also only 21 calories per bowl. It tastes pretty good, but it smells disgusting, which is great for curbing your appetite afterwards. 

You can mix miso paste with hot water, or brands like itsu sell individual soup sachets. I prefer the sachets as I feel more sure of the calorie content.

•  Shirataki noodles 🍜- these are white, almost translucent noodles which are made from glucomannan (a fibre which causes weight loss!) and contain no digestible carbs. The brand I buy is called Barebaked Noodles - there is 2 servings in one bag at 15 cals each. I normally mix up some chicken or beef stock and mix the noodles in after cooking them.

•  Rice crackers with Dairylea spread 🧀 are amazing. There are 26 calories in each lightly salted rice cracker, and only 50 cals in a serving of the cheese spread (which normally covers two crackers for me)

• protein 🍳 I know we’re all terrified of protein for fear we might get bulky or even just maintain muscle that we don’t want - but by eating a small amount of protein per day, that won’t happen. By not consuming enough protein as well as being malnourished, you risk your hair falling out. Your hair is made up of a protein called keratin, and it’s also not necessary for survival. As I mentioned above, your body’s aim is to function as efficiently as possible for survival - so when nutrients are scarce, it will only do what’s necessary - which doesn’t include hair growth.

In one egg white, there’s 17 calories and 4g of protein. Even just a small amount will help maintain your metabolism somewhat, and could prevent hair loss.

• keep a rubber band around your wrist. If you feel the urge to binge, gently pull it back and snap it against the back of your forearm. Don’t do this too hard or you might break your skin and I’m not encouraging self harm here! If you do this each time you feel the impulsive urges to eat everything in sight, you’ll slowly start to condition yourself out of overeating.

• keep a food diary, and record your feelings before & after each meal, especially binges. You’ll start to see a trend and identify your fear / trigger foods. Knowing that you will need to write down your feelings after eating will also discourage you from a binge before it happens, as you already know how it ends. 📔

Calculations

• 1lb of fat is equal to 3500 calories - this is the amount you need to be in deficit by to lose 1lb of fat.

• your BMR (basal metabolic rate) is the amount of calories you will naturally burn each day without exercising. You can calculate it using these formulae:

Men: 88.362 + (13.397 x weight in kg) + (4.799 x height in cm) - (5.677 x age)

Women: 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.908 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age)

• to convert lbs to kg, divide by 2.2 :)

• METs (metabolic equivalent of task) are like a measure of the intensity of a workout, or energy expenditure compared with when just sitting doing nothing.

You can google the MET of a particular workout (e.g jumping jacks) and use this to calculate how many calories you’ll burn per minute. Here’s the formula for that:

( MET x 3.5 x your weight in kg ) / 200 = cals burned per minute

Hope these are useful! Stay safe everyone 💛🌸
