I'm tired of hearing "you post pictures half naked for attention" no I post pictures showing my hard work& dedication. I am not always a 100% on top of my fitness but I do try my best. I don't do anything for attention I do it to help inspire others who struggle with their appearance to help them understand how much the gym has helped boost my confident and not only my confident but my health has well. All I want to do is help those who look in the mirror and feel ashamed of themselves feel better  because I've been there and I know how much it sucks to suffer with insecurities. I never even realized how good I look till I took those pictures lol. It takes time and a lot of dedication but trust me it's so worth it!! #fitness #gym #squats #gains
  1.  Drink Water, Especially Before Meals- Drinking water can boost metabolism by 24-30% over a period of 1-1.5 hours, helping you burn off a few more calories.
  2.  Eat Eggs For Breakfast- Studies show that replacing a grain-based breakfast with eggs can help you eat fewer calories for the next 36 hours, and lose more weight and more body fat 
  3. Drink Coffee (Preferably Black)- Caffeine boost your metabolism 
  4. Drink Green Tea- Green tea contains small amounts of caffeine, but it is also loaded with powerful antioxidants called catechins, which are also believed to work synergistically with the caffeine to enhance fat burning
  5. Cook With Coconut Oil- Coconut oil is very healthy. It is high in special fats called medium chain triglycerides, which are metabolized differently than other fats. Keep in mind that this is not about adding coconut oil on top of what you’re already eating, it is about replacing some of your current cooking fats with coconut oil.
  6. Cut Back on Added Sugar-Added sugar is the single worst ingredient in the modern diet, and most people are eating way too much of it.
  7.  Eat Less Refined Carbs- Refined carbohydrates are usually sugar, or grains that have been stripped of their fibrous, nutritious parts (includes white bread and pasta).Studies show that refined carbs can spike blood sugar rapidly, leading to hunger, cravings and increased food intake a few hours later. Eating refined carbs is strongly linked to obesity
  8. Use smaller plates- help people automatically eat fewer calories 
  9. Write down your meals- keeping a food diary and writing down what you eat, or taking pictures of all your meals, can help you lose weight 
  10. Keep healthy foods around-Keeping healthy food close by can help prevent you from eating something unhealthy if you become excessively hungry.
  11. Eat spicy foods- Spicy foods like Cayenne pepper contain Capsaicin, a compound that can boost metabolism and reduce your appetite slightly
  12. Brush your teeth before bed- you won’t be as tempted to have a late-night snack.
  13. Do aerobics- Doing aerobic exercise (cardio) is an excellent way to burn calories and improve your physical and mental health.
  14. Lift weights- One of the worst side effects of dieting, is that it tends to cause muscle loss and metabolic slowdown, often referred to as starvation mode. The best way to prevent this from happening is to do some sort of resistance exercise, like lifting weights. Studies show that weight lifting can help keep your metabolism high, and prevent you from losing precious muscle mass 
  15. Eat more veggies- Vegetables and fruits have several properties that make them effective for weight loss. They contain few calories, but a lot of fiber. They are also rich in water, which gives them a low energy density. They also take a while to chew, and are very filling.
  16. Eat more fiber- can increase satiety and help you control your weight over the long term
  17. Eat more protein- Protein is the single most important nutrient when it comes to losing weight. Eating a high protein diet has been shown to boost metabolism by 80 to 100 calories per day, while helping you feel so satiated that you eat up to 441 fewer calories per day
  18. Get more sleep- Sleep is highly underrated, but it may be just as important as eating healthy and exercising. Studies show that poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for obesity, being linked to an 89% increased risk of obesity in children, and 55% in adults
My blog is currently being edited but I wanted to share this lower body workout that you can do at home!
Morning everyone,
Hope you're all doing well. This is a workout routine that literally requires no gym equipment, you can use Dumbbells if you'd like. You can do this at home or outside. I suggest doing this workout early in the day if you live in an apartment or place a yoga mat underneath. But get that workout in!
I started today
I love Cassie! I am going to be trying this ab workout 3-4x this week. I can't wait and you should all join me!
Sometimes I have to get creative at the gym when it's rush hour. I am using 17.5 Dumbbells and performing bulgarian splits on step 10 reps on each side 4 times. Make sure to squeeze the cheeks!
