Do you also want to lose weight?
Do you also want to lose weight?
I have to admit that I have tried to lose weight many times in my life. Be careful, I like my body and I have no complexes (at least not too many). But sometimes I have to put the brakes on and get on track with a diet to lose weight fast. And it is that if a glass of wine there (or two, or three) and a "what richer cheese!" over there, added to my passion for colored popcorn, good bread, sweets and pizzas … What am I going to tell you! There have been months when my scale smoked and my favorite pants didn't fit anymore.

In January I decided to remedy it and stop being in that tiring weight gain / loss. Well, thanks to these things that I am going to teach you, I have finally found a healthier and easier way to feed myself and it costs me less to take care of myself. In fact, when I have been on a diet to lose weight it has been easier and faster to achieve it. I tell you.

I don't like weighing food, or obsessing over calories. I like to eat and do it quietly. Well, with these containers I have not worried about the quantity issue again when I have been on a diet to lose weight. They are classified by color, for example, green is for vegetables and fits just the recommended amount for a meal: and yellow is for carbohydrates, such as rice and pasta. Very easy. I leave you a link from where I bought the ones I have been using.

Steaming is a success
Steaming is a success
In almost all the weight loss diets that have fallen into my hands they suggest steaming it, but I was not quite fired up with it until I tried this steamer. With her I can cook dinner and my next morning meal at the same time. These tricks have also been great for me to steam well and make everything tasty.

Do you know what a bakery is?

Well, if you know, congratulations, I had no idea and much less could I expect that, with a bread maker like this, I could make the homemade bread that I like the most (my thing is spelled with seeds), and my oatmeal for have breakfast.
Also, with it I make yogurts, cottage cheese and cereals, which are great. Of course, you can also make pizza dough and cakes … Diet alert! Although if you make them homemade, you control the amounts of sugar and flour very well, so everything can be healthier and more dietary. Above it can be programmed up to 15 hours in advance, the perfect solution those weeks when life does not give me.

Eating from a container is beautiful

I spend all day in the office. Before, when I was on my skull, I would go down to the mall that is right next to where I work (danger !!) and eat there. On good days, she would make a menu of the day and choose well: salad, fish, fruit and water to drink. But on bad days … On bad days I would head over to fastfood or the daily menu, but making the wrong choice: macaroni, steak with fries, cake and a glass of wine.
But this midweek frenzy ended my decision to cook more and take my food to work. With the steamer, the bakery and the CLARA weight loss recipes I prepare everything.
It is a matter of getting organized and spending some time on good foods, –better if they are real food and not bad processed– and spend some time in the kitchen. Then a good container like this one that takes up little space in your bag and at work.

Also the drink
Also the drink
With the cold of February, I took another step and started taking hot soups and broth to work. I had it very easy because I found this thermos bottle that stays super hot for up to 12 hours. I'm looking forward to summer and making myself natural refreshments, because it says that it can be cold for up to 24 hours. It is also very hermetic and since I bought it I have had zero leaks.

And I have given myself to the shakes
And I have given myself to the shakes
The 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day cost me a horror . At most - and with effort - it reached 3. And all weight loss diets insist on it over and over again. As I am persistent and quite clever, I found the solution in the form of a super blender. I opted for a simple model, at a good price that allowed me to make healthy shakes quickly and without complications.

Not that I moved less than a painting, but I went from grapes to pears at the gym. On top of that she was riding a motorcycle from one place to another… Come on, sedentary squared. In January I also decided to change this. As my work is quite close to my house, a 40-minute walk away, I started doing one of the journeys on foot (when it wasn't raining or bad) and now I'm doing both. I've also started showing up at my gym. And although I still have not found that "pleasure or addiction" that many people comment, I do not dislike it either and I leave there happy. This activity bracelet has helped me a lot to encourage me to walk and move a little more.

The happy scale
The happy scale
It can be hateful but it is very necessary if you know how to use it well and now I can say that - finally - I use my scale well.
I confess that before I weighed myself first thing in the morning, after peeing, before breakfast, naked and without breathing. Pathetic, I know. Now I almost weigh myself the same way, but only once a week and when I'm dieting to lose weight. Weighing myself every day only made me obsess over diet and increased my cravings for food.
Now I have this scale that communicates with my mobile and helps me follow my progress but with perspective. I can see the evolution over time and it helps me a lot.

A little extra help
A little extra help
To have the body as I wanted, diet and sport were not enough for me. I am somewhat impatient and I looked for some extra help. In my case, they recommended ultrasounds, but the prices of the aesthetic centers for 10 sessions (which they say are the minimum) were out of my budget. I found this homemade machine and I am very happy. Be careful, I can't compare my result with that of having gone to a professional center but I can't complain.
