WEIGHTLOSS JOURNEY DAY 2: EATING LIKE A NORMAL PERSON

2018-08-02 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 14 min

Chantal documents day two of her weight-loss journey, showing what she eats, how she plans calories, and how she breaks up short home workouts. She prepares and describes a measured oatmeal breakfast (oats, flaxseed, chia, fruit blend, maple syrup), logs her meals in MyFitnessPal at just over 2,000 calories for the day, picks up a Subway chicken teriyaki sub (on whole wheat with honey mustard) for lunch, and later eats leftover shrimp with angel-hair pasta, spinach, garlic, olive oil and tomatoes. She reports headaches and heat limiting outdoor walking, breaks her 15 minutes of daily walking into three five-minute indoor segments (Leslie Samson workout), and reflects that eating satisfying planned meals helps reduce urges to binge.
