Heres what works for me:
Monday: CHEAT DAY (stay under 1500 calories)
Tuesday:EAT HEALTHY DAY (stay under 1200 calories)
Wednesday:CHEAT DAY (stay under 1500 calories)
Thursday:EAT HEALTHY DAY (stay under 1200 calories)
Friday:EAT HEALTHY DAY (stay under 1200 calories)
Saturday:FAST(juice fast or water fast depending on mood)
Sunday:FAST(juice fast or water fast depending on mood)
On my "cheat days"I eat the "Diet Version" of foods I really shouldn't be eating (ex) pizza & lasagna
For the pizza, I use low calorie flat bread as the base, low fat cheeses, regular pizza sauce, & chicken or veggies as toppings.
For the lasagna, I use whole wheat noodles, low fat cheeses, regular pasta sauce, & sometimes add minced chicken or veggies to the layering.
My cheat days are the only days when i allow myself to drink soda or a low calorie dessert. I stay under 1500 calories on these days.
On my "eat healthy days" I eat mostly low carb, high protein, & low fat.
Some things I do eat/drink include:
Boiled eggs
Baked/Grilled Chicken or Fish
Chickpea Salad w/no dressing (just lemon juice if needed)
Chicken Salad w/no dressing (just lemon juice if needed)
Occasionally: Basmati Rice
Lots of Fruit
Lots of steamed veggies with herbs
Fruit Smoothies (1 banana+frozen strawberrie/blackberries/rasberries + orange juice)
Some things I do not eat/drink include:
Soda
Pork
Beef
Salad Dressing
Anything really high in carbs (breads,pastas,pizzas)
Foods with high sugar
Foods with high salt
I stay under 1200 calories on these days.
On my "fasting" days I pick between juice fasting and water fasting. Usually water fasting wins because its easier for me.
Along with this, I exercise 5 days a week and drink lots of water.
BTW: I'm 5'2 so eating under 1500 calories is okay for me (;
