How to get a Victoria´s Secret model type body?

[Austrian_Babe]

If you have never calculated them how do you know... I can guess my daily calorie intake but that is only after years of counting. Start recording your food ever day is free tool.

A side from the fact there is not enough protein in your diet there is WAY to much processed food. Ceral, whole wheat breads, crackers etc are not part of a trully clean diet. I am also not a fan of most lowfat yogurts again way to processed however a plain greek yogurt made from goats milk is amazing for you.

Turkey breats lunch meat is overprossed and filled with additives. Simpliest way to eat clean is to plan it out. Cook it all head of time have it packed ready to go there is no way you will slip when doing that.

thanks for the suggestions. I would love to eat as clean and healthy as possible, but I know for me it´s not realistic right now. Maybe sometime later in life, but for now saying no to chocolate, pizza & co is hard enough. And I´m not much of a cook, actually I grilled fish for the first time the other day, and it didn´t taste like much lol

I don't see the logic in how eating clean is not realistic. It is your choice what you put in your body and what you don't. If you don't have the diet all the way in check then you are limiting your results drastically.

I mean it´s not realistic for most people (uncluding myself) to eat 100% clean on a daily basis, permanently.

And I am not looking for drastic results. I am already slim, and with mediocre diet and workout I have already reached my personal goal halfway...so I was just looking for advice on how to tighten up diet+workouts. And to be fair I have taken the advice I was given to heart and have started reducing my carb intake and increasing my protein intake. It´s a big adjustment, so I´m taking it step by step. If I start depriving myself of everything I like to eat I won´t stick with it

I second greek yogurt...higher protien...so sooo creamy and lovely...I love a teaspoon of honey in it (which is prolly sin, but whatev)


ok, if you up your protien and pick up some healthy fats you'll be satiated...you wont be dying for processed foods....try it for 3 weeks and see if your taste buds don't change utterly....

also, up your fiber...this keeps you from pigging out on junk and is good for uhm, upping your protien

if youre going to stick to bread go for a healthier bread than wheat (read its label, I bet it has corn syrup or sugar in the first five ingredients)


if your an on the go eater, i think id rather see you eat clean healthy fuel then totally processed junk...look into the kashi instant fewds

but this isnt body builder food, youre gonna have a hard time gaining muscle on that

and there are plenty of people here that DONT eat 100% clean on a daily basis permanently...personally, I prefer it and wish I could afford to







you mentioned no taste with fish, did you season it with anything? at all? if youre worried about cals (and you should be with your intake) seasoning is zero cal for the most part...spice it up!

everything I posted is easy, but theyre baby steps.....just wanted to add that

You allow yourself one cheat meal a week that is what keeps you on track. Your viewing food as an enjoyment when it really is a means to an end. You may be slim doesn't mean you’re healthy clean eating is healthy eating and the best preventative medicine in the world.

In my country we´ve unfortunately not jumped on the low carb bandwagon yet. So there is no low carb bread (actually, we don´t have a lot of pre-packaged bread, you can buy loafs of bread but there is no way of knowing what´s exactly in it) or things like those Kashi bars I read about everywhere. Not sure about greek yoghurt, is that just yoghurt made out of goat´s milk or something? I think we do have that

Oh, and I´m a horrible cook, I have very little cooking experience and hate doing it because most times I don´t know what spices to use, so my food tastes boring and bland. I season my fish with garlic, lemon juice and a salt-herbs mix. My husband is American and he said that the spices here have like half the flavor of the ones you get in the US. Not sure if that´s true, but that´s what he said. My mother in law is on a low carb diet right now, and when I go visit her she´ll teach me some recipes ;-)

Don't let yourself use that as an excuse, it is easy to learn to cook, through trial and error, or by simply going online and learning the basics. If you prefer, go buy a basic cookbook. Don't be intimidated, just experiment one day (and have the pizza place on speed-dial if you really mess up LOL)
Tip: Often you just have to use a little salt and pepper to bring out the flavour of the food.
Some classic pairings include:
Fish: dill, lemon, parsley
Chicken: thyme, sage, rosemary. (I like it sauteed in a non-stick pan (no oil) with onions, green pepper, a bit of chili powder, cumin, and garlic).
Beef: pepper, "steak spice"
Lamb: rosemary
Very generally speaking, you can put any meat in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and it will cook without burning if checked on every 20 minutes or so. It is "done" when there is no blood oozing out when pierced. For beef, you might want it a bit more rare, so don't cook the hell out of it. Chicken usually takes 45 minutes-one hour in the oven, depending on the size, and if it's a whole chicken (needs more time usually) or in pieces. Take out the giblets (bag of insides) that you find inside the chicken.
Learning to cook for yourself can be extremely rewarding, and this knowledge will last you your whole life.

You may be slim doesn't mean you’re healthy clean eating is healthy eating and the best preventative medicine in the world.

I am healthy because I am active (at least I am now lol), of normal weight, don´t smoke, drink, do drugs etc. Heck, I don´t even drink coffee and have never taken any diet pills (and I sure as hell don´t plan to)

Clean eating is definitely healthy, but eating cornflakes, lunch meat and whole weat toast (as my only regular processed foods) is not gonna make me any less healthy.

thank you! I think cooking will be more fun once I get some positive experiences from it, meaning I cook something that actually tastes good. Once I live with my husband I can hopefully adapt some of his cooking skills
