I’ve lost 134lbs, with another 25 to go.
This is how I get 201 grams of protein with 1,825 calories.
I’ve tried every diet out there. Weight Watchers. Atkins. Jenny Craig. The Cabbage Soup Diet. Keto. Fasting. Low-fat. High-carb. None of them lasted. What’s actually worked for me is simple:
1.I eat high protein and keep my carbs lower. Not zero. Just enough to stay energized and avoid crashes.
2.I move in some way every day, but nothing extreme. Today was a run, but I do a mix of walking, walking on an incline, and weights.
3.I hydrate and stay on top of my electrolytes. It’s not just about drinking water. Electrolytes help your body actually use that water. They help your body absorb nutrients like protein more efficiently, keep blood sugar steady, and prevent that mid-day crash.
4.I focus on fiber and gut health. Fiber feeds the gut, and your gut runs the show. It helps regulate appetite, balance blood sugar, and reduce inflammation. It’s basically the engine of everything.
Here’s what I ate:
Breakfast: 410 cal, 25g protein
2 eggs, halloumi cheese, and a tomato, avocado, mint, and parsley salad. So good.
Snack: 260 cal, 37g protein
Pomegranate yogurt parfait with 0% Greek yogurt, whipped cream cheese, protein powder, and pomegranate.
Lunch workout: 0 cal
5 mile run outdoors and then refueled with raspberry @waterboycan electrolytes on my way home
Post-workout Lunch: 450 cal, 57g protein
Bell pepper sandwich with Mediterranean chicken salad, yogurt, olives, pickles, and Air Cheese.
Snack: 110 cal, 10g protein
Parmesan cheese, the best protein bar.
Dinner: 595 cal, 71g protein
Sheet pan chicken kabobs with cucumber onion salad, garlicky cucumber yogurt sauce, and my Kaizen @kaizenfoodco high-protein rice.
Total: 1,825 cal • 201g protein
This way of eating keeps me full, satisfied, and consistent. No extremes, no restriction.
