Baked turnip

Simply can't wait for them to be ready. In order to avoid the fat not only that I am using fat free butter,cheese and sour cream. I am first cooking the turnip in the slow cooker on low. So they gonna be smooth without using fat!

The plan

I am never on diet for long with this plan because I lost what I need to lose fast. I haven't reach my goal yet because life have been hectic recently and I never go through pass the 2nd day. So I been following a loose version to maintain my weight.

Depends on how much need to be lost and how fast I would recommend a 1200 to 1400 calories per day. That is also medically safe but myself sometimes I only take 1000 calories.

How it works. A woman needs 2000 calories a day. As to lose one pound you need to have a deficit of 3500 by maintaining your calorie intake around 1200 you have a total deficit of 5600 (almost 2 pounds). Then You have to increase your activity. Try to at least burn the same amount of calories you take. So you will have a negative balance of zero whereas you still need that 2000 to live. Results of total weekly lost = 4 pounds. And the more you increase your activities the more you are losing weight. This is how the biggest loser works too. So in 4 weeks you can be at least 16 pounds lighter!

Other rules.

• eat every 3 hours
• drink plenty of liquid but no sugary drinks (even juice- too much added sugar)
• eat whenever you hungry but healthy food such as fruit, salad and etc.
  

Trip to the supermarket
- Greek yogurt. I love chobani (plain, non fat, no sugar)- if money is an issue buy some danone plain no fat yogurt (it has less protein though)
- Mamba
- Lait ecreme
- cheese, hot dog, hand FAT FREE
- SALADE a volonte
- Shrimp, fish and all type of seafood (avoid meat except lean chicken. Research has showed that beef help lose weight so you might want to have some lean beef sirloin). If you suffer from cholesterol avoid seafood can be deadly.
-Vitamin
-eggs (but you only use the white)

First steps towards the healthier U

A) From experience, I know that if one is serious about dieting, a scale is important. I recommend a digital scale for many reasons.

• They are more likely to be accurate,
• they can record and track your progress,
• they monitor your body fat (so even if you are not losing weight you can actually see progress or they can help you see if you are losing fat instead of muscle- and you need to lose FAT)

B) Clean your fridge and your pantry. Only food that are allowed to be left are

• low fat, non fat,
  
• low sugar or no sugar added
• high in fibers
  
• and high in proteins.

So say goodbye to all these junk or process food

C) Go shopping...but wait I need to tell you what to buy!

Welcome! And get that scale out

Hi Ladies,

My dream was to be either a cook or a nutritionist. Coming from Haiti you know neither was a possibility. But well, my own life forced me to develop these skills. Women on my father's side are simply heavy; but I decided that I would prefer to be like the women on my mom's side. An uneasy task. At my heaviest I was 180. I tend to gain weight even if I don't eat. At my lightest 125 (kept it for 2 months) but decided that 130 was more reasonable; I didn't like the way I looked. That is the reason I am calling that blog "healthy and sexy" cause I think that we are or at least should be concerned by our health first and then by that sexy appeal.:)
