Drink green tea!
Switch up your workouts: For lets say, arm day, you do - Military Shoulder Press, Bench Press (Dumbbells), Bar Curl Standing etc..... Go backwards from your list and start from the last one you usually do Ex: Bar Curl Standing, Bench Press (Dumbbells), Military Shoulder Press... This will confuse your muscle memory and help with weightloss and toning Go to Gym Workouts or Gym Workouts Pt 2!
Try not to fill up on bread
No more white bread- 12 Grain is my favorite and all of the necessary grains for a healthy diet
Try to rule out white sugar, white flour, white rice, white bread and white pasta (or yellow)..........try to eat whole-wheat! You can hardly taste the difference but it makes a huge difference!
Hang out with friends more. Especially after high-school its hard to keep in touch and keep busy with friends.... think of the movie Yes Man and try to agree to most things your invited to even if you sometimes have to force yourself
Go for short walks - walking when you first wake up or enjoying a little sunshine in the afternoon are great ways to get some Vitamin D and kick start your metabolism
Have a warm baths - helps you relax and feel happy
Get a crush/ crush on your boyfriend - Having crushes makes you feel giddy like a school-girl, makes you want to look your best, try new things and gets your heart racing!
Wear something skimpy in your backyard/ in your house when no ones home. The more you do so the more you'll feel comfortable with your body
Sleep in something sexy or get nekkid!
Change your hair style
Eat greens everyday - Monday Broccolli, Tuesday Green Beans, Wednesday Brussel Sprouts, Thursday Asparagus..........you get the idea
Eat Chicken! Great source of protein and delicious! So many ways to cook too
Have your protein shakes everyday - after a workout or if its your rest days have it for breakfast
Go to your health store and ask for specific vitamins - check out the ones I take here, if they don't have the ones your looking for make sure you ask- sometimes they can order them in for you
Get a hobby. You must get off the couch! If you spend more then 2 hours a day watching tv you are seriously in need of a hobby... Learn something you've always wanted to. Don't know how to? GOOGLE IT!! No excuses!
Get a gym membership - try to find a cheap gym with good equiptment, some places are a fortune and don't offer much. Do you want a personal trainer? They are good and make you work! Do you need group workouts? Classes? They might cost a bit more...
Stop getting fast food! Subway is still considered fast food....sushi is acceptable.. unless your japanese and you have that stuff at home!
Take a little amount of food on your plate. Sometimes we take too much but were taught to finish our plates whether we're full or not. Go back for seconds if you must!
Portion sizes: Think of the size of your fist for portion sizes, steak and other meats should be the size of your palm
Do easy exercises while you watch tv/ homework. An easy one while lying down is side leg raises (click for picture) - you hardly notice your doing anything until you feel a burn after 15 : )
Eat canned tuna (in water not oil) make sure there is a dolphin on the side so its dolphin safe; add a little bit of mayo, salt and pepper- maybe some cut up pickles or cheese- either put it on a peice of toast or eat it by itself! It's a great snack filled with protein and it will fill you up
Buy frozen berries and veggies - they will have a much longer life and theyre usually pre-cut so theyre quick and easy to prepare
Keep a food journal
If you are planning on losing dress sizes - find a goal outfit and buy one size smaller then you are. Keep trying it on until it fits! It will give you something to look forward to and sometimes a better way to see results rather then numbers.

TRICKS & TIPS
Eat lots of veggies, fruit, and protein
5-6 small meals every three hours
for example:
8:00am breakfast
11:00am lunch
2:00pm snack
5:00pm dinner
8:00pm snack
Don't eat 3 hours before you sleep!
Broccoli, baby carrots, apple, protein shakes, cottage cheese, coffee with no sugar skim milk, cereal with skim, chicken breast, tuna, celery sticks, trail mix.
Work out when you first wake up, and your meals in the morning should be bigger than your dinner and 8pm snack because you have all day to burn off those calories
Dance in front of the mirror to your favourite songs in something sexy
DRINK LOTS OF WATER your pee should be clear that’s a good sign to know if you’re drinking enough water
Cut out Pop and Sodas COMPLETELY out of your life. All they are is gassy drinks that make you feel bloated and gross! And don't give me the "Zero Calories/Diet Pop" sob story - you know they're horrible for you, don't be bad girls!!
Stay on the outside of the grocery stores, once your inside the isles your in no-no-zone! Think about it- On the outskirts you have veggies, fruit, bread, meats, dairy.....interesting....! (doesnt mean evverrything thing on the outsides are good...but ok with moderation- like cupcakes! bad girl!)
Small portion control, use small plates so you don’t take too much
Stop eating as soon as you feel slightly full. It is sad to waste food but sooner or later you will learn how much you should eat
Confuse your muscles with working out different machines and exercises - muscle confusion gets you better and fast results!
Count calories but don't become a crazy freak about it. Some of my days I'll only consume 1,200 and somedays it will be around 2,000. It's not that great to do that but you're only human! Aim for your target calorie intake and make smart and yummy decisions.
For max. toning - have workout days directed at a certain body part. For example my days are:
Day 1: Arms, Chest, Back
Day 2: Legs, Butt, Hips
Day 3: Rest (maybe a yoga dvd before bed)
Day 4: Abs, Cardio
Day 5: Rest (maybe a yoga dvd before bed)
Day 6: Cardio
The third week switch up your reps and sets and switch up the days making sure you have a rest day after hard work outs (like legs!! those squats are killers)
Dance as much as you can!
Put on your favorite music and dance in the mirror for an hour- that's an order!
Hula hoop or skip! It's fun and you will lose weight
If your starving in between meals (the 5 meals a day spaced 3 hours apart) see if you can ignore it, but if your reeally hungry have a small snack like a granola bar, banana, small handful of nuts, veggies or a bite of left overs. Hold off until your next meal and your body will get used to it
Take a before photo of you flexing arms, legs, butt, etc. Check back after a few weeks of hard work and see some results
Buy the easytone Reebok's! Tones while you walk- you might as well!
Remember- When weighing yourself muscle weighs more then fat so if you gain or stay the same but you`ve been eating great and working out don`t get frusterated- the fat will fall off if you keep it up!
Only work out for tops an hour and half - anymore time and it`s a waste because your muscles get tired and give up.
Just because it looks healthy doesn`t mean it is. Some premade sandwiches can be up to 1,000 calories! That`s half of what your calorie intake would be! You could have 2 premade sandwiches or you could have 5 full healthy meals.... I`d go with the second option.
Some other crazy finds are some `Healthy Vegetable Crackers` are 100 calories per 4! That doesn`t sound too healthy.... or sushi - high in calories which a lot of people assume they aren`t BUT they have a great amount of protein in them which your body needs- and usually 8 peices fills you up!

WELCOME!
There are way too many girls going with pro-ana or mia (cute way of saying anorexia and bulimia) I used to be obsessed with checking out new thinspo tips and tricks but I had enough knowledge to know that some of the stuff was just ridiculous...
Here’s my take:
Rather than Thinspo tips/tricks, these are some HEALTHY tips/tricks for those who want to lose weight, tone and be sexier.
Going the unhealthy way, you lose friends, always tired, constantly stressed and thinking about food because your forcing yourself not to eat, lose hair, teeth and nails go yellow because your body doesn't get the nutrients you need. One apple a day - literally...is a good way to die. So instead, eat 5-6 small portions a day, work out and FEEL GOOD!
Lose weight and tone in a healthy way and guaranteed you’ll feel great about yourself and get the feedback you desire.
I will be adding a calorie counter page for some of the foods I eat, some amazing exercises, BMI calculator, recipes, nutrition, supplements and vitamins, and Lots of Tips & Tricks - so check often and I guarantee this site will help you way more than those thinspo pages that push you to near fatal conditions!
Peace out hotties! xx
