THE BOILED EGG DIET: HOW TO LOSE 20 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS.


That’s Right. Lose 20Lbs in 2 weeks on this diet
Eating eggs to lose weight sounds weird, right?

Yet many people are finding that the boiled egg diet is the perfect solution to their temporary weight loss goals.

The boiled egg diet, when used appropriately, allows you to lose weight by adhering to a low-carb low-calorie but protein-heavy diet.

However, it is not a long-term weight loss solution and should not be used to keep weight off permanently.

You should also not eat only eggs while on this diet—the best boiled egg diet is one that incorporates vegetables and other sources of protein for your body.

Many people love eggs and find their taste, protein content, and vitamins and minerals to be the perfect protein and on-the-go snack.

From breakfast food to a dinner solution, eggs are easy to cook, versatile and can provide your body with the protein and nutrients it needs to lose weight.

THE EGG DIET

This egg diet has multiple versions, but in each, you can only drink water or zero-calorie beverages.

You only eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are no snacks, aside from water or other zero-calorie drinks.

I also have a boiled egg diet printable which you can print off and stick on your fridge.

I found this an easy way to follow the plan and organize what I would be eating that week.

WHAT IS THE BOILED EGG DIET?

The boiled egg diet is a diet based on the consumption of boiled eggs rather than scrambled or poached eggs.

The minimum requirement is that you eat at least 2-3 eggs per day.

HOW DOES THE BOILED EGG DIET WORK?

The boiled egg diet is based on a 2-week eating plan. The plan is listed below

5 LAZY GIRL FITNESS HACKS TO BURN FAT FAST

I think it’s safe to say a lot of people are pretty lazy these days. And I don’t mean in every thing. We live in a busy world and have a million obligations and by the time the day is done (family fed and bathed included)… we instantly become lazy.
All we want to do is kick back and relax. Or even just go to bed early because tomorrow is right around the corner. I get it. Trust me. But honestly, it all boils down to excuses. And the biggest excuse of them all is “I don’t have time”. We’ve all said it. But with so many busy moms, dads, students with jobs, etc. shedding pounds, we can’t deny the fact that it can be done. We all only have 24 hours in a day.
The key is to make small changes so you don’t get overwhelmed with trying to do it all. That’s why I love lazy girl hacks! Lazy girl hacks are just habits that you can develop by doing them every day and they are simple enough they won’t overwhelm you. So here are some of my favorite lazy girl fitness hacks! 

1. CREATE A PLAYLIST THAT IS THE SAME LENGTH AS YOUR WORKOUT

Are you the type of person that checks the clock a lot while you workout? The likelihood of stopping your workout early increases with every glance at the clock. A great remedy for this is to create multiple playlists for different workout lengths.
This will depend on where you are at physically. You are reading this post so I’m assuming you’re just starting out (or starting again). So start out with two playlists. One that’s 10 minutes long and also one that’s 20. The average song is 3-5 minutes long. You could start out with a song to get you motivated, a song to get you pumped up, and a song to wind you back down.
And when you’re more advanced, create a few more playlists. 30 minutes, 45, and an hour.

2. JUST 10 MINUTES

This goes with the hack mentioned above. You can always start out just working out for 10 minutes a day. This will still help you in so many ways. Lots of healthy benefits, but it also will help you build the habit of working out every day.
And when you do move up to more time working out every day and you have a bad day, tell yourself “just 10 minutes”. Give yourself permission to stop after that. But you might find that your motivation is back up and that you can go longer.

3. DRINK MORE WATER

Yea, yea… you know you need to drink more water. But did you know that drinking water suppresses your appetite and helps you burn more calories throughout the day? Drinking cold water can help you burn up to 2-3% more calories within the next 90 minutes. So if you’re drinking water throughout the day, you are burning more calories with very little effort.
To help you drink more water, here are a couple of tips. Keep water with you at all times, drink a bottle of water with each meal, add fruit to your water, and eat more soups and fruits/veggies since they have a high water content.

4. REWARD YOURSELF

Rewards work. With kids and pets, but also with us adults. But it’s got to be a short term reward. You have your weight loss goal and that will be an AMAZING reward when you hit it, but that could take a little bit. So give yourself some small rewards because it’s easy to lose sight of the end sometimes.
Be careful when rewarding yourself with food. It’s so easy to go overboard. You could do a piece of dove chocolate after a whole day of doing good and meeting your goals (that’s about 44 calories). Or if you have some more patience, wait till the weekend and get yourself a cheat meal and dessert.
A better reward would be something that’s not food related. Like buying workout clothes, taking a fitness class, getting a massage, fitness gear, etc. It’s all up to you.

5. WORK OUT WHILE WATCHING TV

Doing some simples exercises like lunges, squats, planks, push-ups, and sit-ups while watching TV is a great option for days when you missed your workout. You could also just workout during the commercials so you’re not distracted from your show!

5 Habits That Helped Me Lose 100 Pounds


When I finally told myself, enough was enough, and that I deserved all my goals and dreams, I realized that I needed to make some serious changes in my life. I eventually realized that the reason I wasn’t able to lose weight (and keep it off) was that I wasn’t willing to change some of my core habits. Or more honestly, I was scared to make some huge changes. It wasn’t until I paused and did some serious self-reflection that I was able to identify which of my core habits I needed to change in order to achieve my goals. When I dedicated myself to changing those habits, that was when I was able to lose 100 pounds and keep it off.
Keep in mind while reading this post that these are things that worked for me. They may not necessarily work for everyone. However, I do recommend giving everything a try, because what do you have to lose?

Drink at least a 1/2 gallon of water daily.

One of the best things you can do to help yourself lose weight and maintain the weight loss is to significantly increase your water intake. There are lots of different ways to drink more water. Remember that tea and coffee also count as water intake. The myth that tea and coffee lead to dehydration has long since been debunked. Another easy way to drink more water is to carry a water bottle with you throughout your day. Or to set phone alarms to remind yourself when to take a sip (or chug lol).

Don’t eat after 8 pm.

If you’re wondering which habit is the easiest to adopt, this habit is it. Challenge yourself to stop eating before 8 pm, and then don’t resume eating until the morning time. Most often, calories eaten after 8 pm are calories we do not need. So ditch the late-night snack!

Plant-based Foods.

I’ve been eating a plant-based diet for 6 years now. This means I avoid consuming meat, dairy, and eggs. I absolutely credit removing red meat and dairy to achieving my weight loss. Now, I’m not suggesting everyone crazy change-up their diets right away, but I would highly recommend limiting dairy and reducing animal fat intake. It’s an easy way to achieve a calorie-deficit and (if done properly) means an increase in nutrient-dense foods.
An easy way to dip your toes into this style of clean eating is to adopt Meatless Monday. Challenge yourself to try new recipes, vegetables, legumes, fruits, etc to fill yourself up.

Reduce or eliminate alcohol.

I talk about not drinking your calories in another post but I’m going to take it one step further and suggest reducing your alcohol intake. During 2018, I committed to drinking little to no alcohol and it is unbelievable the difference it played in my health. Considering even a light beer is still almost 100 calories, even a couple of drinks adds up real quick. And if you’re drinking mixed beverages, then you’re looking at some serious calories. Easily drop a couple of pounds by removing or reducing alcohol consumption.
Nowadays, I allow myself to have the occasional drink each month. But I still commit to keeping my alcohol intake low. Overall, I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin complexion and less bloating. Those are two great reasons that help me stay away from overindulging in alcohol.

Embrace natural sugars.

Personally, eliminating sugar from my diet is just not realistic. I’ve tried many times and have failed miserably. But, when I started to substitute white, processed sugars for more natural sugars like honey, maple syrup, agave, etc, it completely changed my waistline. Even though I was still eating sugar, I wasn’t gaining weight like I was in the past. Now, I’m not saying go overboard on the sugar because it’s from a natural source, but you can consume it more confidently.
When I’m craving sugar, I try to eat fruit first. Fruit is a great natural sugar. Personally, oftentimes an apple with some peanut butter will satisfy an initial sugar craving. And like I said above, eating a healthy snack first makes you less likely to have an unhealthy snack after.
