My Diet

A lot of people were asking me about my diet and how I got to a size 0. If you want to follow it too, here are the rules I’ve set up for myself:

Congrats! You’re a vegan now (mostly). Here’s why:

- No milk. Unsweetened Almond milk has no sugar and is only 30kcal for 8oz. Nonfat milk has 12g sugar and 90kcal per 8oz. Also, I can’t drink milk because I’m slightly lactose intolerant.

- No cream or half & half. Half & half has 20kcal and 2g fat per TABLESPOON.

- No eggs. One large egg has around 78kcal and 5g of fat. You can have egg whites (2) once a week if necessary but only if they are hard boiled or poached but I don’t eat them at all.

- No butter. While butter has slightly fewer calories and 2g less fat than olive oil, olive oil has been shown to have heart health benefits. Olive oil only contains 2g saturated fat while butter has 7g. If you are on an incredibly low calorie diet, it is essential to maintain a diet that benefits the health of your heart.

- No yogurt, with exceptions. Unsweetened coconut milk yogurt has no sugar, 110kcal per 8oz, and 7g fat. If you want the real deal, your best bet is Siggi’s skyr, there’s no fat but there are more kcal and way more sugars per serving and the serving is smaller.

- No cheese. It’s so bad for you. So good but so bad for you. I have the hardest time with this one. I usually eat a small amount of cheese once every two weeks or else I’ll binge and eat a whole wheel lmao.

- No white sugar. Most white sugar is not vegan and is filtered through charred animal bones. Which is super gross to me. Maple syrup or raw honey, while still being high in sugars, have health benefits not found in white sugar. Maple syrup is full of anti-oxidants and honey has been proven to aid the good bacteria in the stomach that assist in the digestion of food.

- NO MEAT. Consuming meat regularly has contributed to the heart disease epidemic in the U.S. Your heart health should be a factor in what you eat when eating a low calorie diet. You can have fish once a week but it has to be sashimi, not sushi, or nigiri, or maki, or tataki. Just sashimi.

Things unrelated to veganism (or the bullshit, fish-eating version of it that I follow):

- You drink your coffee black now. End of story. If that’s an issue you can add unsweetened almond milk only to it. Lattes, cappuccinos, and cafe au laits are out. I’m a barista and when I cut out lattes and fancy drinks and syrups from my diet I dropped 5 pounds in about a week. You will get used to the taste, try getting flavoured iced coffees that are brewed, not syrups.

- No soda (not even diet or 0kcal versions), premade iced teas or lemonades, energy drinks, juice (yeah, no juice), sports drinks, vitamin water, smoothies (unless made at home). You drink water and black coffee now. Iced tea is fine when unsweetened. Seltzer is a great alternative to sodas and isn’t packed with the chemicals diet sodas have.

- No fried food. None whatsoever. Be careful with this one though because there are a lot of things that are fried that you wouldn’t think are. There’s a burger place down the street from me that has the best bean burger I’ve ever had and I used to get one as a treat once a month but I found out that they deep fry the whole bean patty and that’s why it’s so good! Now I don’t eat them anymore :c

- No ketchup or mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is fat fat fat and not vegan. Ketchup is full of sugar (and gross). Mustard is fine.

- No more “instant” foods. Anything that comes out of a packet and is ready in ten minutes or less is not good for you. No frozen dinners, instant ramen, etc. It’s all fat and calories.

- All vegetables should be roasted with less than .5oz of olive oil per serving or steamed. Get a bamboo steamer, it will change your life.

- Pasta, bread, crackers, wraps/tortillas are a treat. Try to keep it around once a week. That doesn’t mean you can eat each one of those once a week either. If you eat pasta then no more bread or crackers or tortillas for the rest of the week.

- Alcohol. You can drink, moderately. No beer, kahlua, bailey’s, malibu etc., or fruity mixed drinks. And watch out for drinks you thinks are healthier. I used to drink gin and tonic all the time because I thought tonic water was the same as seltzer then I learned that tonic water has 124kcal per serving and 32 GRAMS OF SUGAR. Just get your drinks made with seltzer water or club soda and extra lime or lemon. Also, this should be a once or twice a month treat and remember you’re on a restrictive diet. One drink may feel like two or three so be smart and eat a little food first and drink water especially if you’re in an unfamiliar place or with people you don’t know.

- No desserts, ever. Or sweets of any kind really. I buy honey sticks and eat one whenever I think I’m going to binge on sweets.

- Meal replacement drinks and protein shakes are an ABSOLUTE NO. I dated a guy who got really into lifting (lmao, he was a tool) when we were dating and those drinks were developed to help you bulk up. Guys who lift drink them during their “gain” phases because they’re high in calories, fat, and sugar. They are the opposite of what you want in your diet.

Also, every day I take biotin (for my hair, skin, and nails), a vitamin B complex (for metabolism), and slow release iron supplements (every couple of days to once a week). I walk or bike to work everyday (literally. I work so fucking much), I do light yoga most days, and I don’t smoke. If I really fuck up, I usually purge but I’m trying not to do that anymore because I like having teeth (I went to the dentist yesterday and she said I have “beautiful teeth” and I almost cried because I was so scared they were going to tell me something was wrong with them).

I drink about 4 liters (~1 gallon) of water a day. Get a water bottle with a straw it will help you so much. I don’t count calories as much as I count fat and sugar but I eat probably around 500kcal. I eat mostly fresh fruit, steamed vegetables, and curries I make at home. I’ll probably post recipes in the future (I used to be a cook so I promise they aren’t your usual gross “10 calorie chickpea sorbet with with 80 splenda”).

I think that’s pretty much everything. Feel free to ask me questions about anything!

Witney Carson:

She is a dancer, choreographer and actress. She was, (is?) on Dancing With the Stars.  I don’t know.  I don’t watch that show.

Well, here we are, entering Week Four, the final stretch.  I think I can make it until the end.  Can you?

BTY, change in weight since inception: still breaking even at 0#. I am exactly the same weight I was three weeks ago when I started, I am just eating more fruits and vegetables now.

Hydration: 10 - 12 glasses of water a day.

Breakfast:  Waffle and  Green Tea

She says she makes her own banana-oat waffles.  I don't even own a waffle maker, so making my own was out of the question.  These are Trader Joe’s whole grain frozen waffles, and as far as waffles go, they seemed pretty healthy.  I could not find banana-oat waffles anywhere, so these seemed like a good substitute.

This is topped with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and drizzled with honey.  It was pretty good, not too sweet and was perfect for breakfast.  I was glad she didn’t just blend it all up into a smoothie and add protein powder.

She drinks green tea with her breakfast which was ok, but I am still a die hard coffee drinker and tea just doesn’t give you the same boost in the morning.  I don’t think I will ever be able to give up coffee.

Morning Snack:  A Handful of Cashews

I was surprised that I was actually ready for a snack.  I thought breakfast would have kept me fuller for longer.

I could have easily eaten three handfuls of nuts, and would have if left to my own devices. Would it really have been bad to eat more nuts?  They are super healthy for you.  Isn’t this the type of thing you can eat a lot of and not worry about it?

Lunch:  Mediterranean Chicken Salad

After a thirty minute swim and a twenty minute dog walk, I was ready for lunch.  I am sure my level of activity is nothing in comparison to hers, so she must be starving.  I was petty hungry by the time it was done.

This is a salad with mostly spinach, 1 small grilled chicken breast, cucumber and olives, topped with a scoop of hummus and balsamic dressing.  It was pretty good and was a good portion for lunch.  It was weird to just have a scoop of hummus on top, but I guess she couldn’t call it Mediterranean if it didn’t.  When I ate it, I mixed it all together.  It gave it a nice creaminess.

I would have liked more components to this salad though.  Red onion would have been a welcome addition.....and feta and tomato, you know, actual Mediterranean ingredients.  Of course, I added salt and pepper, the most important spices in your kitchen, people.

Afternoon Snack:  Apple with Almond Butter

Unless you have a peanut allergy, there is no reason to eat this instead of peanut butter.  It has almost the exact same nutritional value as the junk food peanut butter I love, but this has that gross texture of the natural peanut butter I hate.  Here is what it looks like:

Appetizing, right?  Try to convince your kid to eat that!  Insert your own poop joke here_________________.

I don’t understand why people keep insisting on eating “alternative” food.  If you want peanut butter, just have peanut butter.  You don’t need to eat a whole damn jar of the stuff in one sitting.  Or what’s with all the “alternative” milk these days? Unless you are lactose intolerant, just freaking drink milk.  Here is a link that nicely compares all of the different milks, so I guess you have to decide which is the best choice for you.  If these stars just drank cow’s milk, they would not have to add processed protein powder to almond milk!

Someone just started making a fake beef product that smells, tastes and bleeds like real beef!  Except it isn’t real beef, it’s all made out of vegetable products in a lab. And you were worried about what is in real meat.  Ha. Ironically, it costs the same as real beef.  It is marketed to all of you out there who have a hard time with the carbon footprint of the beef industry. If that’s your beef, pun intended, than JUST DON’T EAT BEEF.  There are plenty of vegetables that taste like yummy vegetables!  And you can make delicious things from them. Crazy concept, I know.

I get it....you really want peanut butter and milk and bacon and beef but you feel ethically and morally dirty enjoying it.  It feels good to get a little dirty every now and then.  EVERYTHING IN MODERATION. 

Dinner: Salmon with Asparagus and Sweet Potato

I was pretty hungry by dinnertime, and this was a pretty good dinner.  It was better than J-lo’s, partly because I was starving, partly because this is really good salmon.  This is another naked sweet potato though. I am sure this meal is nutritious, but it could be a little more delicious.  At least the salmon and asparagus were properly seasoned.

Dessert:  Herbal Tea with Two Squares of Dark Chocolate

This was a nice way to end the day, and this chocolate is really good, but I would forgo the chocolate for butter on my sweet potato.

My verdict: All of her meals were just ok.  I was hungry when it was time to eat, but not famished.  I will take Jif over almond butter any day of the week.  It was nice to have a bit of chocolate.

People Magazine Verdict: Witney has an awesome balance of whole grains, quality proteins, colorful produce and healthy fat.  (Agreed, but the only fat I had was the chocolate which I would have swapped for butter on the potato). Salmon is great for an active dancer. (OK, and great for everyone else too). Dark chocolate ends the day on an excellent note, (Agreed).
