.... what happened in year 2011 to drastically change my dress sizes ,well i moved cities , ate like a wreck and was in an extremely stressful situation ... details are for a much much longer post...

You might be asking what the hell do I know about diet and fitness ... I know what its like to gain weight,how hard it is to lose it and how I have been losing weight the healthy way.

how did i change my life ???

I tried crash diets,the 7day diets

I tried tiny teeny portions

I tried working out like a mad women

did it help .... hmm ... a little bit ,nothing drastic though.

few months back i got asked what are doing you have dropped weight give me the secret ... weirdly enough a few months back i stopped the insane diet,working out and stressing over getting back to a size 28 ...

I re-evaluated my lifestyle .. yes you've heard it over and over...i heard it over and over ... but i did it like it was second nature..

These are Today's health tips that worked for me :

*Start your day with hot water with a wedge of lemon

*Eat breakfast

*Meal sizes should go like this:

• large filling breakfast 


• medium lunch


• small portioned dinner incl protein ,protein is your friend

*Drink 3 glasses of cold water before you eat

*Eat whatever you want but control your portion size,DON'T be a glutton

do not eat like its your last meal EVER... so gross

Get moving : 

you do not get fit by sitting on your bum, I am very into hiking I love nature ,its fun and its better done in a group.

*Eat those veges and fruits :

leafy greens are your friend

grapefruit is 1 amazing diet friendly fruit ... but there are so many fruits out there mix it up

*Have fruit when you craving sugar

*For dessert:

opt for strawberries dipped in DARK chocolate or any fruit for that matter

*Cut down the alcohol consumption:

I reward myself with a glass of red wine every now and then I'm a lover of wine ... but refraining from alcohol helps a lot .. I binge drink on rare occasions

I did not think my tiny lifestyle adjustments were doing anything till I had to put on a bikini.... so worth it ... and I'm not yet at my goal so lets do this together...
