so… this is hella frickin dope. This shit, can’t lie, ACTUALLY tastes so good. It’s like a milkshake, but it’s healthy, and it feels like you’re eating fast food. Need I say more?
INGREDIENTS
½ banana (55)
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (22.5)
½ tsp. vanilla extract (6)
1½ tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder (30)
ice
INSTRUCTIONS
There’s only one instruction: Dump that shit in a blender and give it a whirl until it’s nice and creamy and smooth. Then eat it with a spoon because that’s the only way to complete the frosty experience.
This recipe is from @skinny-little-lamb , she’s absolutely fabulous and this recipe is incredible for dinners with your family or days where you just want some sort of comfort food but don’t want to go over your limit.
Here’s what the author says about it: “I just discovered this and I am OBSESSED!! It makes a huge bowl for under 200 cals, keeps you full for so long, has so many good nutrients, and is delicious!”
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup quick oats (75cal)
150g zucchini grated (26cal)
¼ cup cashew milk (6cal)
¼ cup water (0cal)
1 small apple grated (80cal)
cinnamon and vanilla extract to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until it’s all heated through and the oats are cooked, about 5-10 minutes.
if u get a period youre probably intimately acquainted with trying 2 stick to your plan and then binging on chocolate or chips or ice cream almost immediately. all resolve slips away into a ‘fuck you i’ll eat whatever i want’ mentality
however.
doing a mono gets you through it perfectly. you can eat as many goddamn kitkats as you want, as long as that’s all you eat or drink (besides water) in a day.
the next day you’re craving m&ms? go for it
the day after that you’re craving fritos? go eat some fuckin fritos!
if anyone comments on your sudden junk food problem you can give them a vicious glare and tell them you have cramps and this is what you’re craving and thats just how it is.
anyway, yesterday i ate an entire family size bag of m&ms and lost 3 pounds. i didn’t even do anything or go anywhere.
basic rules: drink a bottle of water first thing in the morning.
try sticking to high-calorie things–it’ll make you feel full but has less chance of expanding your stomach too much (I ate 1500 calories of m&ms but it was only around 300 grams, less than my usual)
either take laxes before you go to bed (not a good long-term idea) or calculate how much the food you ate weighed (300 grams is about .6 pounds) and subtract that from what you see on the scale the next morning (or dont, i cant do that cause it makes me worried im deluding myself. but subtracting that from my total would have me losing 4 pounds yesterday)
dont do it after fasting, it wont work very well and you might accidentally gain weight
dont eat anything else at all that day, not a single bite of food. it will completely screw you over.
Breakfast: GREEN TEA or BLACK COFFEE – 0 calories 🍌 (if you really need breakfast, eat a banana or apple, which will just bring your total up to around 400 calories)
Lunch: WATERMELON – 92 calories 🍉 2 cups cubed!
🍉 If you aren’t sure how to cube watermelon, here’s a little tutorial for it. You’ll probably get more than two cups, so just wrap the extra in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for another day.
Dinner: COOKED VEGETABLES – 69 calories 🥗 1 cup of chopped brussel sprouts (38 calories) 🥗 1 cup of chopped green beans (aka green beans or haricots verts) 🥗 Cooking spray – I use Bertolli’s extra virgin olive oil (0 calories) 🥗 Salt and pepper to taste 🥗 Lemon juice to taste (probably 1 teaspoon or so, don’t bother worrying about calories because it’ll be under 5 no matter what)
Chop your brussel sprouts – cut off the brownish end of the stalk and discard, cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 6 pieces (or 4 if the whole brussel sprout is like the size of a walnut). Then chop your green beans – cut off the end and then chop each bean into 1 inch segments.
Heat up a medium sized nonstick pan on medium heat and spray some cooking spray. Add all your vegetables and some salt and pepper (just add a little, you can put more on later if it needs it!)
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. When the brussel sprouts are tender and a little browned on one side. If at any point the vegetables start to stick to the pan, add a little more cooking spray.
When they’re done, squeeze part of a lemon into the pan (over your hand so you can catch the seeds!). Stir, taste, and add more pepper, salt, or lemon juice if you want.
🍄 🥕 🍆 You can use other vegetables if you want to, and cook them this way, but brussel sprouts and green beans are my favorite because they’re very filling but also super low cal.

Dessert: BERRY SORBET – 141 calories 🍨 ½ cup frozen raspberries 🍨 ½ cup frozen blueberries 🍨 ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or normal almond milk) 🍨 ¼ cup frozen sliced bananas 🍨 1 tsp packed brown sugar (you can skip this if you use normal almond milk)
First, if you only have fresh berries and bananas, freeze them! Put the measured amounts of berries in a ziploc bad and throw it in the freezer. Then cut up the banana in thin slices (it’ll probably take 1/3 to ½ of a banana, but you can just cut up the whole thing and freeze it for later if you want). The fruit should only take like ½ hour to freeze.
Once everything is frozen, put your fruit in a blender or cuisinart, then add the sugar and most of the almond milk. Blend it until it’s smooth – if it’s very chunky and solid, add the rest of the almond milk and blend again. Put it in a bowl with tin foil over it and freeze it for a few hours.

Boil 1 cup of water in the kettle or microwave. Place 2 weetabix biscuits in bowl, and pour the hot water over them. Then drizzle the honey (or equivalent sweetener, such as 2 tsp sugar, agave nectar, etc.) over it and stir. It will be very hot for a few minutes – eat it as soon as you can. If you don’t have weetabix, follow the recipe in my link to part 1 for Apple Oatmeal – this has 35 calories less but is not as filling, in my opinion.)
lunch: 1 cup of black coffee or tea. If you’re feeling nauseated or bloated, drink peppermint tea.
dinner: RICE AND BEANS – 224 calories 🌾 ½ cup of either canned vegetarian refried beans, or ½ cup of canned black beans (115 calories for refried beans, 109 calories for black beans) 🌾 ½ cup of cooked brown rice (this is 1/6 of a cup of uncooked brown rice, 109 calories) 🌾 1/8 tsp salt (0 calories)
🌾 pinch of rosemary (optional, 0 calories)
Bring ½ cup of water to a boil on a very small pot on the stove. Add the rice and salt. Cover the pot and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 30-45 minutes, until done (all the water should be absorbed, and the rice should not be crunchy or mushy. You can take the lid off the pot to check once you reach 30 minutes, and then check again every 5 or so minutes afterward. If all the water is absorbed but the rice isn’t done yet, add 1 tablespoon water and continue cooking.)
Once the rice is done, add the beans to the pot and stir to combine. Turn the heat up a little and add the rosemary. Continue heating until hot and then eat.
🌿 TOTAL: 401 calories (395 if you used black beans) 🌿
🍒🍊 TIPS: drink 2 liters of water, and eat dinner at around 4:30 pm, if possible. You don’t want that sitting in your stomach overnight, so the earlier you eat it, the more chance you have to burn it off. After dinner, pour yourself another cup of black tea and then go for a ½ hour walk. 🍊🍒
