Started a meal replacement and lost 10 lbs

One thing that I’ve started doing that helped me drop 10 lbs and 2 inches off my waist in 2 months is a “meal replacement” for breakfast and taking pictures of my food.

Let me go back to the start. I’ve never been a fan of diet trends or starving myself. I’ve never been able to make any drastic changes in terms of when and what I eat, I just try and be conscious of not eat TOO much junk food. I think intermittent fasting is unsustainable and could possibly lead to hypoglycemia if you do it too long or sporadically.

To avoid all of that AND get enough protein in my diet for recovery, I started having a protein shake and banana for breakfast. This is so I don’t completely skip breakfast and don’t gorge myself during lunch. I’ll typically have a small snack in between meals as well. So far, I’ve had a steady decline in weight loss.

Another trick that I stumbled upon is taking pictures of my food. I started a workout channel on YouTube and paired it with an Instagram account to show people what I’m eating during the week, as well as various other workout related items. This has helped me stay conscious of what I’m eating and take a second to think whether or not I want to show the world that I’m cheating on my diet. I think this habit has really made a difference in my diet and helped me cut down on snacking. I’ve heard that nutritionists use this method on their clients, they have them send pictures of what they’re eating everyday.

Please let me know your thoughts on this and what results you might have gotten from it.

Thanks!
