🌿 Got coffee with friends? Leave ¼ of it in the cup when you throw it away. It’s a reasonable amount that won’t make anyone suspicious, but it turns a 135 calorie medium latte into 100 calories.

🌿 You don’t need oil to cook vegetables. Just add a little water whenever it starts to stick. 1 tablespoon oil is 120 calories. Just saying.

🌿 Anything that potatoes can do, cauliflower can do better. 100 grams of potato is 77 calories, but 100 grams of cauliflower is only 25 calories. Mashed cauliflower, roasted cauliflower, you name it.

🌿 Cut the crusts off your sandwiches (if you eat those). That’s at least 10% less surface area, so 10% less calories and less space to put fillings on. And you really won’t notice that there’s less food.

🌿 20 minutes of yoga or stretching in the morning can knock off 50-100 calories right off the bat (it depends on your weight and how much effort you’re putting into it.)

🌿 Almost any recipe that calls for eggs can be substituted for egg whites instead. Pancakes need two eggs? Use 4 egg whites instead, which is 68 calories instead of 166. The only things this won’t work for are recipes that specifically call for egg yolks, like custard.

🌿 Drinking a glass of cold water burns 8 calories. If you drink 11 glasses of cold water every day, that’s 88 calories. 

🌿 Throw away 10% of every plate of food you make. A 200 calorie meal turns into a 180 calorie meal, for example.

🌿 Craving ice cream? That’s packed with calories, though (274 a cup!!). Make your own, instead. Freeze one small banana (90 calories), and ½ cup of blueberries (42 calories). Peel and slice the banana, and put it and the blueberries in a blender/cuisinart with one tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk (2 calories). Blend it up, and freeze it for ½ an hour. 134 calories total (less than half of ice cream, and it’s fucking good for you.)

🌿 Put sparkling water in your juice. A 16 ounce glass of 2/3 sparkling water, 1/3 orange juice, is only 84 calories (16 ounces of straight orange juice is 224 calories). It still tastes like juice, just bubbly!

🌿 Unsweetened almond milk can do pretty much anything that cow’s milk or soy milk can do, for 1/3 the calories. It’s good in mac and cheese, mashed sweet potatoes, tea, coffee, baking, etc.

🌿 Order all salad dressings on the side and either ignore it, or dip the tines of your fork into it between bites. Way less calories.

🌿 There is a low-fat/low-cal/low-sugar version of almost everything. Find it.

🌿 Still hungry after one serving of a meal (especially dinner)? Make a cup of very hot tea and drink it as quickly as you can. It’ll make you feel completely full.

🌿 Want a tablespoon of peanut butter? Or cream cheese, or butter, or hummus, or whatever. Get 2 teaspoons instead (that’s 2/3 of a tablespoon). It won’t make you feel any less full or satisfied, but it’s 33% less calories.

🌿 Steal 0 calorie sweeteners from diners and coffeeshops. You can use them instead of sugar when baking, making coffee, etc. 1 tablespoon of white sugar is 48 calories. Get rid of it!

eviananddiamonds:

Here is how I skip meals effectively and without damaging my digestive system. Whenever I’m hungry (usually 3-4 times a day) I drink 3 glasses of water at once combined with 1 spoon of honey. Honey will NOT make you gain weight, it will only make your hair brighter and shinier 🙂 feel free to eat 1 spoon of honey with lots of water about 3-4 times a day, and you won’t have any trouble skipping meals!

i started adding a shit ton of honey to my tea and now i love it i wanna drink it all the time and it’s helped me lose weight bc i’m enjoying my drink and i actually want it for lunch. i’m serious. if you’re restricting or fasting, put as much as you want. it doesn’t affect you badly. get the organic kind and go to town and you’ll notice that you don’t have headaches while eating wayyy less and losing more weight 🙂

Ana Quotes

• Do not reward yourself with food, you’re not a dog.
• Hungry to bed, hungry to rise, makes a girl a smaller size.
• I’m not there yet but I am closer than I was yesterday.
• It takes 12 hours for the body to start feeding off its own fat.
• It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for friends and family and it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Keep going.
• If you give up, it’s over. But if you don’t, the day will come when you’ll be glad you didn’t give up.
• Just remember. In 20 seconds, the food will be gone. The taste will be over, and all that will be left is regret. Just like last time.
• I want to be so thin that people whisper how skinny I’ve gotten behind my back.
• You are not hungry. You are bored. Learn the difference.
• The first bite tests my self-control. The second bite proves I have none.
• Everything looks good on skinny.
• The greatest revenge is to accomplish what others say you cannot do.

skeletonlies:

I’m not hungry for food.

I’m hungry for how good skinny girls look in a bikini. I’m hungry for feeling tiny underneath a small sweatshirt. I’m hungry for bony collars and shoulders. I’m hungry for that light-as-a-feather feeling when I’m being picked up. I’m hungry for skinny legs, thigh gaps and a flat stomach.

I’m not hungry for food anymore, because nothing can ever taste as good as I will feel when I am thin.

grungegoesskinny:

You could always eat less.
2 instead of 4.
1 instead of 2.
½ instead of 1.
¼ instead of ½.
None instead of any.
