Are you looking to lose weight or just want to eat clean?
I wouldn't recommend fad diets like Keto or Atkins.
I personally recommend small meals throughout the day, packed with lots of protein and fiber.
As for something to drink besides water, sorry but water is the healthiest drink there is lol. 5 liters a day if you workout. You can add lemon if you want.
Also a fan of smoothies. I mix banana and strawberries with whey protein all the time.
Why should you stay away from spicy food doe? It's good for your metabolism.

Yep, I saw the meal plan for Keto and I had a heart attack just by looking at it. 😂
I still believe in counting MACROS and eating every 3 hours.
And lots and lots of water.

Thats my weakness 😢 I got a digital weighing scale and healthy food with the intent of cutting. But hell no. I was able to count my macros for like 2 days and I completely gave up. Its too much work 😢((( i opted to just increase my cardio and the weights I started to use 😢(( my weight went down but I need to get rid of at least 6% body fat 😢((( what do you do to count the macros? Any tips thats not too difficult? Hahaha im looking for a bloody shortcut 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Honestly it IS difficult lmao. I use MyFitnessPal calorie counter app and do meal preps every weekend. Incorporate fruit smoothies and protein shakes into your diet as I find them very filling without breaking the calorie bank.

Not to lose weight, like gain muscle and a stronger body. I actually have to gain weight tbh, but it's hard.

I can't handle any smoothies with banana :/ I'll go without it

Dont avoid carbs. It doesnt really make you fat. Unless you eat bad carbs. If you eat good carbs like brown rice you are getting good source of energy for the day.12-16 reps for a workout is a healthy start. Dont over do workouts because it might damage your muscles, hence, no progress in “gains”
Eat 6 times a day than 3 big meals. It helps with keeping yourself full and helps avoid overeating.
Snacking is not bad unless you snack on junk. For snacking i highly recommend fruits like apple and banana or nuts.
Drink lots of water
6 times a day??
Breakfast
Snack
Lunch
Snack

Hahaha! Yeah. Last snack for me is protein shake. If I have dinner before 6 im hungry again by 8pm. So its crucial to have healthy snacks coz seriously every 2-3 hours im hungry. And you will experience it when you do cardio a lot. I have to do loads of cardio to lose body fat because i have no patience counting my macros. And I started lifting some weights too. 😂😂😂😂😂
Pre-workout breakfast
Workout for 1-1.5 hrs
Protein Shake
Lunch
Snack (fruits, nuts)
Dinner
Protein shake
*i take protein shake before bed to help aid my muscle repair. Especially when I am so sore.

Sounds like a good health plan. I'm now planning out my grocery list 🙂

Go for it!!!! Are you trying to tone, lose weight or have a bigger booty? I’m looking to have a bigger booty 😂😂😂😂😂 hahahaha and yeah, it worked for me and I only started last January. If you are looking to tone, you better start weight training. Cardio will only help you lose weight but wont tone your body.
Here are some exercises I do:
*Squats with weights using the smith machine
*Lunges using the smith machine
*Curtsy lunge using the smith machine
*Glute kickbacks
*Shoulder press
*Hip thrusts with weights (you can use the leg extension machine or barbell with weights)
*Single arm rows
*Single leg deadlifts
*Romanian deadlifts
*Bench press

I think some cardio training help with toning your body figure. But yes I should do weight training 🙂
I'm going to start slow thou, cause I'm really out of shape!

If you combine weight training and cardio in one session, weight training first, then cardio.

I just finally came back to working out again after 5 years...
LONG ASS time...
Any recommendations for eating healthy food to eat? And what to drink besides water.
I know I should stay away from soda and spicy food + junk food.
