Many of you have been asking me about my diet plan and how I got to my bikini body in a short 8 weeks. I’m going to share with you a snapshot of my meal plan that you can tweak to your needs.
In short, my meal plan given to me by my trainer friend consisted of lots of protein and 6 small meals a day (200-350 cals each) to keep my metabolism up. Barely any carbs. That meant no fruit guys :(
I was so full the first day I went on it because I had never eaten so much protein in my life even though the meal plan measured to less than 1900 cals. I was also working out very hard, lifting weights and running 6 days a week (IN ADDITION TO TEACHING PILATES A MILLION TIMES A WEEK) so that’s why my intake was high. I needed ENERGY for killer workouts.
I wrote down how I felt each day in this huge poster chart thing. I also recorded my weight every morning and any other notes I wanted to give myself like “Great progress Cassey! Keep going!” Hahaha. I got my body fat % checked every 2 weeks to make sure I was GAINING MUSCLE and LOSING FAT.
(If you are trying to read my chart, that big pink blurb up in the right hand corner was something I wrote 2 literally days ago after I bounced back from my 2-week Feeling-Fat-and-Failing period. It basically says, “Today I am 118 again. THANK GOD. Working hard pays off. I have my bikini body back!!!!!”)
Here’s the meal plan…
meal 1
*egg white omelet (1/2 cup liquid egg whites) with 1 cup broccoli.
meal 2
*1 small can tuna with 2 cups broccoli.
meal 3
*9 oz boneless skinless steamed chicken breast and 1 cup steamed green beans.
meal 4
*1.5 scoops vanilla whey protein mixed w/ water (I was using Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Powder in Vanilla)
meal 5
*9 oz boneless skinless steamed chicken breast, 2 cups romain lettuce, 1 tomato.
meal 6
1.5 scoops vanilla whey protein mixed w/ water
For condiments I used lite soy sauce and tabasco. For dressings, basalmic vinegar or very light vinaigrettes. I also drank TONS of water.
That’s basically how I ate for 8 weeks.
I was suppose to carb load on Sundays to fuel up for the rest of the week, so the only difference here was that I did not take my protein and instead had sweet potatoes, black beans, oatmeal, and apple sauce. Apple sauce was the closest I ever got to eating fruit. I was allowed to sub the chicken breast for white fishes like cod. I could sub any of the veggies for other leafy greens.
This meal plan and lifting for about an hour followed by 15-20 min of intense cardio 6 days a week helped me go from 126 lbs and 24% body fat to 118 lbs and 17.5% body fat. I am 5’5”.
I’m not gonna lie, it was hard work but I LOVED every second of it. I went to sleep every night waiting to workout. I woke up every morning ready to workout. Results keep me going like a mad woman. How exciting is it to lose a lb every week for 8 weeks? It is one of the best feelings ever! I also loved looking at myself in the mirror and admiring changes like a conceited bi-otch. I know some people are all about the whole “don’t look at yourself until the end” type of deal, but for me, NO WAY!!! I wanna see that I look good and I wanna see it NOW! (Ok, kinda childish but hey, who doesn’t like a lil instant gratification?)
Just in case you haven’t been following this blog for a while, this whole 8 Week Shred thing was an experiment I was doing with my friend who is a personal trainer. We wanted to test out a specific meal plan and workout plan and record results. It was tough for both of us to be on such a restricted diet plan and yes I did have cravings. But I knew at the end of this, I’d have the body I’ve always dreamed of. So, that kept me going.
I am no longer on this meal plan and I have definitely added fruits back into my diet. I still however eat tons of protein and steamed veggies. And I still workout 6 days a week because I love it.
Disclaimer: PLEASE consult a registered dietitian, nutritionist, or doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet. This is just what I did. Do not follow it unless you know it is safe for you.
What about salt and pepper?
hey!! cassey how ru?? i want to knw how many carbs should v hav in a day to loose weight?? or how much carbs u use hav??
Hey Casey! I was just wondering what weight training did you do to get your abs so defined? not much girls at the gym I go to does weight training so I can’t really learn from them! And also is there something else I could replace with tuna and protein shakes? cause I absolutely hate the taste of tuna. I’ve been going to the gym 5 times a week (mainly doing cardio) and trying to fit in as much of your workouts as possible for the past 2 and half weeks, but I haven’t felt a difference (I think it is because my diet is not right) and I would always eat a lot after my gym because I get super hungry! Is there any tips you could give to help ?! My formal is coming up and I really really want to see my ab lines through this dress I want to wear! It would mean a lot to me if you replied :) x
oh this diet looks like “dry” diet or i dunno how it called exactly. but it has to be used only if u r exercising a lot, if u r not exercising then it will be no use.
ummm scratch that. reverse it.
Sorry one more question–any lifting exercises that didnt make you bulky would be great! I am most concerned about that.
Hi!
Can you help us with what type of lifting exercises you did for an hour? Is there a tutorial?
Thank you!
Heii Cassey i want to aks you Im 18 and I have school every day..How can I fit all this in my school days…Do I have to use this meal plan or something else and are this exercise hard for me! Plss answer mee I want my hot body back
I was wondering, were you ever tired following this diet plan? I have tried low-carb before but I always lose the energy I need to lift weights and do some HIIT cardio. what do you recommend?
Try having small amounts of wholegrains in the morning with breakfast.
A suggestion so you don’t get fatigued on this diet is to add more healthy fats. You see, it’s healthiest to follow either a low carb diet or a low fat diet, but not a both low carb and low fat diet (like this one). The body was not simply meant to run on pure protein and fiber (which you don’t get calories from), so if you’re on a high protein diet you need more healthy fats for saetiety and energy. Love Cassey, admire Cassey, but I don’t think this diet is as healthy as it sounds. I tried it, and after a week my body rebelled and I felt really lousy. I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again: the human body was not meant to run on only protein.
Y so much hating Kelsie? its an 8 week plan. not for a lifetime. i’m sure cassie will be in better shape after this boost and get back to her usual eating habits which we should all follow. if ur diet plans have failed, don’t take it out on someone who was sharing whats worked for them to help others.
Cassie! great job!!
To everyone criticizing the diet plan you are forgetting that Cassey is NOT endorsing this diet as a permanent eating plan.. It is a temporary diet to shed pounds in a limited time span. She is competing in an event where the judges are going to want to see muscle and a trim figure. Although this isn’t for everyone it is an excellent learning experience for Cassey. Most trainers expose themselves to a wide variety of sports and diet plans to find out what works. The knowledge they gain from this exposure helps them grow professionally to better serve their clients or in this case the very people who are criticizing her. Fitness isn’t just about physical beauty and obtaining the ideal proportions, it’s just as much mental as it is physical and even spiritual for some cultures (think pilgrimages). Many cultures endorse fasting as a way to understand the difference between what your body needs and what you want, it’s about disciple. Cassey is on a journey to learn something about herself. I for one am proud that she is taking the initiative to go out and do this and I’m excited to hear how she felt about the process once it’s over. The voluntary disciple you learn by exposing yourself to tough fitness routines really does carry over to other aspects of your life, you’re less likely to give up on yourself and you grow as a person, it’s very humbling to look inward and face your weaknesses.
What could you substitute for tuna?
any type of white fish.
this looks very yummy am keen to try :)
Thanks for posting Cassey, I always find it so hard to plan what to eat,
So this is perfect!
Um small question Can I drink tea too or is it water only… ?
Hehe to lose weight and my tea addiction :p that’s tough!
thanks again :)
Kind regards
Natalie
tea is cool
I really really want to try this especially with the fabulous results and such, but I can’t. I think 15 is too young for this, especially considering my short stature which I hope means a spurt soon. What age would you recommend me doing this? ^_^ For now, I’ll stick to pilates and my addiction to fruit. :D
Just eat more veggies! That’s all. Fruits are cool.
I wish I could do this but I am vegan! Boo I am starting your other meal plan and I do enjoy the fact that you made a vegan plan as well, thank you for that! After that meal plan is over won’t I gain a bunch of weight back after going off the meal plan? Please help!
well u can’t just go back to eating unhealthy. you need to continue to eat clean, maybe not as strict but still.
You can easily substitute plant based proteins for animal one’s with this.
I’m vegan and have tried it before with success.
I did up the amount of protein by a third to half as plant based proteins have lower calories and I found that I needed more.
Hey Cassey!
I’m doing this to get in shape for summer and so far its going great. :)
I was wondering on the carb loading days do you mean you replaced the egg whites, chicken, tuna and protein powder with carbs or just the protein powder?
I was just wondering, what happened when you went back to eating normally? I’m sure you are by no means eating super unhealthy, but like Erin said above, did you just gain it all back? Just a little concerned about what the future will bring! :))
going back to healthy normal eating (like my recipe inde) will help you maintain as long as you are exercising!
As a Registered Dietitian I just want to say that it saddens me when people follow diets like these. This is a crash diet..and you will literally crash if you continue to restrict any particular food group from your diet. Yes, fruit is a carbohydrate, but it’s a complex carbohydrate (the good kind). They are packed with vitamins that help your immune system and everyday functions. You should NEVER cut any food group out of your diet. These low carb diets are short term, and the majority of the weight you lose is water weight. Carbohydrates are not the enemy. Eating whole grains packed with fiber will actually HELP you lose weight. If you want to lose weight, make it a lifestyle change. Sure, you might look good for a week or so, but as soon as you go back to your previous eating habits, the weight will come back with you. Make small changes at a time and eat clean, but NEVER cut anything out of your diet. Moderation is key.
I guess it’s just us RD’s that think eating balanced healthy whole foods and avoiding processed foods, is a sensible way to eat. Note to the world you can still lose weight eating balanced meals.
me again! just a few more questions, how do you steam chicken?? haha I’ve never heard of it! and when you carb loaded on sundays you say you didn’t take your protein, are you talking about the protein powder or the chicken and tuna?? how did you substitute it? anyway I’m starting this diet today! wish me luck!!
Hi Cassey! well summertime is right around the corner and I’ve fallen off my fitness game lately:( but i saw this diet plan and i thought, “I can totally do this!” one thing though, could i sub anything for the tuna fish?? i haven’t actually tried it and i do plan on it but just in case i don’t like it can i have a different protein? also, the 1 hour of lifting…like legit 60 minutes of weights? thats crayy!! haha what was a sample of the weight lifting you did if you don’t mind sharing? you’re a great inspiration and i love your determined attitude! it helps me stay determined!
thanks for everything you do!
Danielle:)
Hi Cassey!
First, I would like to say that you are absolutely beautiful and you really push me to work beyond my limits! Your BIKINI BODY gives many a run for their money, and it’s inspired me to get into the best shape of my life!
I would really like to go on this plan, but I am vegetarian (no eggs or fish) by religion and don’t really know how I could follow most of the plan… Any ideas or modifications you have that could help me? Also, I am a person with 24.9% body fat, 137 lbs and 5′ 4.5″… Do you think it’s safe for me to go on this diet because my main goal is fat loss and muscle toning??? Lastly, due to your experience with protein, do you feel that the Dukan Diet is acceptable for fat loss AND muscle building provided we workout?
Thank you!
I think Dukan is fine and you can replace the other stuff with tempeh, tofu, beans, lentils etc!
It says you lifted weights… is there a certain sequence you followed? (Abs then legs, then chest etc… ) What if we did your Pilates/ HIIT/ Cardio videos instead weight lifting?
Thank you :)
So can i substitute the meats and fish with soy protein as well and get the same results in the bikini challenge and the 7 day challenge? btw love what you are doing
Hi, Cassey!
I was just looking at this meal plan, and would love to give it a try (with summer coming up and all..) Just wondering though, when would be the best time to workout on this plan? should I workout after a certain meal to get the best results, or does it even matter?
You are awesome, girl! Thanks for helping us all stay motivated to eat right and work hard to be healthy :)
I always followed your youtube videos, and I just got done doing one of your 12 minute video, when I thought to myself – does she have a meal plan to go with this??? Which brought me here. And I’m so glad you have a meal plan – which I am happy to say I am going to try for the next 8 weeks ! :) thanks girl! You’re amazing.
Wow cassey you look amazing! Congradulations on sticking to your plan for so long. I am currently trying to make a meal plan for myself to follow but im a vegertarian. Would you have any tips for me to replace the chicken and tuna with? I just want to start yreating my body with the respect it deserves.
Thanks so much you are an inspiration!
Just substitute them with plant based proteins :)
First, I don’t think that this meal plan sounds that bad. Honestly, it seems refreshing, and it’s not forever. Plus, how can you feel bad when you’re eating all that good food? No preservatives, not loaded with salt or sugar or anything else…
I have a LONG way to go before I look like you, but I have learned that sometimes what seems like a terrible horrible woe-is-me sacrifice can actually turn into an addicting behavior. The concept of walking on the treadmill used to seem like such a chore. Now, I push myself to go faster and faster so I can go farther in the amount of time I have. I want to beat my score, I want to be able to record better distances, burn more calories… and when I come home, I don’t want to load my body with junk because then I’ll just be destroying my progress. I don’t even crave the stuff I used to eat that made me fat. I want the healthy things now. I see commercials for fast food and it makes my stomach turn.
I’m going to give this diet a try. Thanks for posting it for us! You look fantastic, congrats on your success and your advice is really appreciated :) This blog rocks!
Well, bodybuilders eat like this when you’re getting ready for competitions. I think this diet is okay for a short period of time. Obviously nobody could eat like this for too long for a simple matter of cravings lol. Way to go, Cassey! You look amazing!
I am planning on starting this diet soon. I currently work out about 5 days a week doing an hour of cardio and about 30 minutes of lifting. What exercise routine did you follow while on this diet?
change that 1 1hr lifting and 30 min cardio and u’ll see a diff
I love this! I am already getting ready for bikini season + Puerto Rico in 3 weeks. This + all of your blogs motivates me to eat healthier and work out more! xxoo
So you are really saying here, that low carb-low fat-high protein -diet is healthy??? Are you serious? That kind of diet really messes up at least with your kidney’s and liver, not to mention brains.
Ofcourse, everybody can do as they want, but that sure ain’t a healthy way to lose fat/weight. I eat 3 times a day, sometimes 4 if I need a snack and I eat almost the same foods as you listed there, except TONNS more fat and still losing weight and feeling good&healthy! You are really killing yourself and destroying all the effort, your body can’t use only protein for it’s energy, it needs also fats.
It is really amazing to eat like this, about 2 g/weight-kg good proteins, lots of butter/cream/olive oil/coconut oil, lots of vegetables and berries and real milk, good tasting foods! Please people, google first and you’ll see what damage this low carb-low fat-high protein -diet has already done, especially among women!
Joan, this is what my trainer friend wrote for me. Like I said above, I do not 100% agree with this whole plan as it was originally written. It is simply what I followed for a period of time. If you look at my own meal plan (above in the countdown) you’ll see that I have a lot more fats and carbs in there.
what if you’re weight loss goal is not 10, 25 20 lbs but what if its a lot bigger like 100! Would you recommend that i still do the 90 day challenge?
absolutely
Eating this way of course isnt “fun” but if you want to lose weight and get toned–what part of that is fun?? You shouldnt feel sad for those who want to better themselves, this may not work for some people but it does for others.
I have been on Casseys meal plan for 3 weeks and I have never felt or looked better since I had my son 2 years ago. So this works for me and I feel sad for those people who wont even give it a try but also wont hesitate to judge the plan.
Thanks Cassey!!!! =)
I would like to point out that the way you ate on this diet is pretty close to how our ancestors ate. There is a reason obesity is at record highs. We’ve replaced the foods we’ve farmed and the animals we’ve used for proteins with fake foods and grossness. Now I’m sure our ancestors weren’t doing the regimented type of intake as we are for fitness purposes, but they ate to sustain energy for more labor-intensive work. No desk jobs back in the day! LOL. That is what you’re doing. So by following a plan like this, you are almost ‘bringing it back to basics.’ The way the human body should be working to maintain energy and metabolism. We’ve gone too far off base. Kudos to you.
Hi Cassey! So I was Able to take a look at the meal plan and it does remind me of how a trainer had me eating but my calorie content was much higher (im 6’3″, i play basketball alot, and im an EMT) but i was wondering no meats like buffalo? I only ask because i belive it is super lean. Also want to try the whole plan but i work fulltime at nites and im a full time student, not sure when im going fit each day in or is it possible to workout 3 days a wk for 2 hours instead of six straight days? Anywhoo, love your videos and the meal plan! Good Job!!
I didn’t include that only because I want this plan to be as easy, accesible, and affordable as possible. Yes do whatever you can to stay active and of course, change the cal intake around as you see fit. Just don’t stray from the foods.
hey, i’d like to try your meal plan out and I was just wondering what time interval you had when you took your meals. Is it just when I feel hungry or do you have a schedule for that too? :)
every 2-3 hours
I got here from your Meal Plan post that announced the meal plan you’re sending out starting on Monday; just wanted to say that I’m super excited for that! Definitely doing it. But I have a question – what’s wrong with fruits? I love them and have always thought they’re one of the healthiest “yummy” foods out there. But you mentioned that the meal plan will have like no fruits, and you don’t have any fruits in your Bikini Body plan either! Why not? :s
Did you see the bananas and blueberries?
Hi ! I totally want to try this plan too .. but I’m still in high school. I just don’t know what I should do about lunch at school .. and how long should we not eat between the meals? Like .. an hour between each meal or two? THANKS !
Yeah!! Me too!! Please answer!! Is there a different meal plan for weight loss I can do? High school kind of seems like it would get in the way with a 6 small meals a day plan.
i just found your website today and i’m inlove! what would you recomend if i wanted to try this but cut the calouries down?
Watch for my new meal plan debuting Monday!
I smell.. jealously coming from the top comment. You handled it so well. I would have flipped. :>
It kind of sounds like the B.R.A.T. (bananas, rice, apples, toast) diet I was on. Everything I ate was white and it drove me up a wall, but it got my stomach back on track and helped me lose weight. Yay for you!
forget about the negative vibes caused by a hater! we can never please anyone.
but hey, your optimism while working out is so contagious that i didn’t even imagine myself doing for the past 25 years! keep it up cassey! i will always be a fan! :)
Is that sort of like a protein only diet?
I soooo want to have a body like you! Your totally my inspiration Casey and cannot wait for your meal plan to come out. I went on a body trim diet which required only 3 days of no carbs just protein and lots of water, but i ended up really sick and weak. (SO embarrasing) So my partner made me stop, but i really want to try again so I hope I can keep to this new diet plan you are doing! Very excited!
Hi Cassey! I also going through feeling-fat-and-failing after our week vacation at Florida. It has been 2 weeks now and I still feel down and hated myself for indulging too much on unhealthy food. But, you inspired me much to follow your 8 week diet and get myself back to working out. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! *hugs* I will probably detox for a week, then I will start your 8 week diet plan. =)
sounds good!
I know the first comment probably comes from a place of self doubt on her own part. Not understanding what it means to eat health and live healthy is a real problem today. I am just starting out in my weight loss journey and discovered blogilates on youtube. Not even sure i was even searching for a workout. Kind of like a suggestion from a suggestion from a suggested video. Lol. It’s really great and if i end up incorporating your videos into my daily routine…which i really see happening…..i’d like to do a blog post about you :-)
My gads!!! That’s awesome! I was going to a trainer that had a similar diet like this for me except I had a very small amount of carbs with my breakfast and lunch. Also, if I was craving sweets I could have 2 chocolate hershey kisses! That helped me alot. How did you space out your meals? I am going to start this diet this week and I will let you know my results! Thanks for sharing and you look amazing! P.S. I hate people that give negative feedback! That person must be so miserable that she has to rip on other people for their success! You ROCK!
Each meal was about 3 hrs apart
Great! Thank you!
Did you have a rule for how close you should eat before bed?
By the way…I started the diet today! Surprisingly, I am not hungry! I know it won’t take away cravings but I feel like I eat a lot!
nope!
cassy how sweet is it that you actually reply to us blogilates fans! :) don’t ever stop being awesome!!
You’re awesome!
wow Cassey, you look amazing! Your determination and positive attitude are absolutely contagious! I plan to crawl out of this rut I’m in and begin working out regulary (just as soon as I finish these research papers- eek!) and at least become CONSCIOUS of what I’m putting in my mouth. I am kinda in the same boat as Megan above- I’m a fulltime college student with a part-time job and I also volunteer twice a week. Let’s just say the last thing I wanna do when I get home is workout. I was wondering- do you, or anyone else, have any tips for healthy snacking throughout the day, squeezing workouts into a packed schedule, or just maintaining stress? I know exercise is a stress fighter, but honestly when I get home at 8 or 9 I just want to zone out in front of the TV with some beans & rice lol. I need to get back on track! So glad we have this community- and Cassey!- to encourage and motivate each other to be healthy and strong! :)
Cassey- you are such an inpiration and i wish i can your dicipline. As a college student hoping to get into PA school…its really hard to eat right and squeeze in exercise and even get more than 5 hours of sleep between library sessions. i was wondering if you had any tips for someone like me, im sure there are a lot of crazy busy college students reading this and thinking they dont have time to do all of this. I tried cutting back on carbs…but im not really sure what food that all limits to.
thanks!
Hold on tight, I am working on a meal plan that I plan on sending out through newsletter.
How do I get on this newsletter? I would love to receive your meal plan!!
Here’s the plan: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjcSou1AzAJQdE1WUVVyajduN2pUNUpHV0VtWFE0Mnc&hl=en_US#gid=3
no haters! working out and strict dieting is nothing to hate on! some people challenge themselves this way, celeberties, fitness guru’s, trainers, MMA fighters, weight lifters….they all have their own diet challenges. don’t be hating just because YOU don’t like it and YOU don’t want to do it. don’t be trying to bring other positive people down with your negative nelly attitude.
you only did 15 – 20 min cardio, wow , I need to do this, you look amazing
Ummm, Kelsie get a life and go run a couple miles or something. You might not agree with this meal plan but it doesn’t mean that someone else with certain fitness goals shouldn’t follow it. Cassie shared this with her Blogilates fans and she specified that it was an experiment. Cassie I must say that I’ve been following your blog for about 7 weeks now and I’ve experienced an amazing transformation. At first I really just wanted to lose weight but you’re a great motivator and now I’m more focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle while challenging myself. On behalf of your fans I wanna say thank you for all you share with us and for all the encouragement you provide. I’m at the point now where working out is like my stress reliever. After a long day the only thing I can think about is coming home to do your workouts (and a few others also). I’m a vegetarian so it’ll be hard for me to follow a meal plan like this without eating a ton of processed soy proteins but it seems pretty interesting. Anyways, enough ranting… lol… thanks again for being AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aww it makes me happy to hear that you come home and can’t wait to workout! i love that!
wow, screw the hater. . . it’s amazing that you stuck to such a restricted meal plan for so long! you should be very proud of yourself (:
I agree with ya!
I would LOVE to do this, but its so hard to eat healthy when my mom does the shopping. We’ve talked about it and I told her I wanted to start eating healthy, and I’ve completely cut out soda, and sweet tea. I now drink only water, milk, and hot teas in the morning (mostly green). It seems avoiding the fast food is the big issue for me, and eating healthy when I’m out. It’s SO DIFFICULT! Now I just have to get into working out daily. I’m a contortionist, and NEED to build my muscles to push through my plateau and proceed to hand balancing. I’ve got the flexible part down. haha.
The very fact that anybody eats like this makes me sick. Eating should be both healthy and enjoyable. No one in the world would be eating like this and enjoying it. You did this all to lose weight and to look better. I feel sad for you.
Well I wouldn’t agree with some elements that my trainer friend planned like the fast, however, what’s wrong with enjoying eating clean foods? You’ve got to learn to enjoy the journey. Also doing something that’s tough makes you stronger. I’m talking physically or mentally. If med school were so enjoyable everyone would be a doctor. There’s challenges for every goal and it just so happens that for a person to lose fat in a certain period of time, there’s sacrifices that need to be made in diet. The key to success is turning those sacrifices into enjoyable learning experiences.
u look great and I will be following the meal plan maybe add a little tweaks LOL but i eat bananas everyday 2-3 a day is that bad? Any how I admire ur energy chica Holla!
Eating that way is not fun, but you go girl for the challenge! Sometimes just knowing you have a goal in front of you is the best part. Besides, we should eat to live, not live to eat. There’s nothing wrong about the healthy choices you made for an 8 week challenge!
Kelsey, Nothing TASTES as god as a BIKINI feels!:P
i feel sorry for u kasey because u must be such a fat pig. :D . CONGRATS!!
Sorry but no, Cassey is not a “fat pig” Look at that picture use your eyes do you see someone who is fat,NO! If you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all.
Of course we don’t see a fat pig, all we can see are two ovals :)
pretty sure she was directing that comment at the kelsie girl, not cassey
thank u michele it was for kelsie. typo
okay sooo i HATE broccoli, is there anything else i can use subsitute that with?
I personally love eating healthy. I crave it. It makes me feel energetic, happy and good. Anyone that eats healthy for a long period of time and is educated about food and nutrition, will likely feel good about it, too. Healthy food tastes good, to me.
If you don’t like it, don’t waste your time! She is a great girl & look at those abs! Don’t be hating..this environment is totally positive & productive!
Actually not everyone is conditioned to eat junk food. If we would just get ourselves off of the sugar and fats we would no longer crave them. People who have started eating healthier actually crave those healthy snacks and therefore are not missing out on the enjoyment, they are getting exactly what they enjoy. It is possible to eat in a healthy manner and desire carrots for dessert instead of cake. That is what I’m trying to do, get myself off of the junk. If I can just get over the hump of craving unhealthy food I will be ok and only want things that nurish both mind and body. (on a side note, I want to get into med school sooo bad :)
These foods are good for you. They are healthy.
She did this plan to keep herself looking good and feeling good.
Maybe some people like these foods? Because I do. This is how I eat naturally.
If somebody wants to take care of themselves, don’t judge like that. People are expected to not judge overweight people, I don’t see why it can’t be the other way around.
Kelsie, Nothing TASTES as god as a BIKINI feels! :P
ARE YOU F’ING KIDDING ME!!!!! I’m a competition bikini model and my fiance is a competition body builder we eat like this all the time. the fact is that this is the way every nutritionist dietition and personal trainer will tell you to eat. depending on your height and activity level your diet will be higher or lower. this diet is a healthy 1,309 calorie diet, when I cut I eat close to 750 calories, and I get paid to look amazing. just an FYI Kelsie fat bitches shouldnt judge. Fasting is something that some people need to do for a day no more then 2 and it will deffinately help you burn fat for fuel instead of carbs which is what this diet does. Kelsie when you start getting paid for the way you look of are able to post a picture online not FB but online of yourself in a bikini then you can talk but to you Cassey, WAY TO FREAKING GO!!!!! It was so hard for me to cut for my first competition so I understand how dedicated you have to be. Congrats!!!
wow!!!! major respect for competitors. i need to get back on this! do u have a fb fan page or pictures? how awesome that you BOTH do this!
Question-so no fruit or 8 weeks ? And no nuts? Was it strictly low carb and carb load on Sunday? I am trying to cut 8lbs as well in 8 weeks for the beach.
Your comment was rude. People have the right to disagree. Who are you to make comparisons? less than 1000 calories a day is harmful. Is weight so important that you would risk your health for it?
That is completely false. No Registered Dietitian would ever tell someone to eat less than 1200 kcals per day, or cut fruits out of a diet. There are some sports where special diets are needed for a couple days before competition, but for everyday normal life individuals need to be including foods from all food groups- there are no “bad” or “good” foods, it’s all about healthy balance. I respect that this blogger posted that the 8 week bikini body diet was just a fun experiment and that people should consult a Registered Dietitian before trying it out. It is not for everyone. To me, it is almost a perfect diet-loved the amount of vegetables consumed, but I would definitely throw in some fruit at each meal as well, and get some whole grains in there with the protein. I like the plate method: half your plate (small/medium sized plate) be full of fruits and vegetables and the other side contain your whole grains and protein.
eating should be healthy and enjoyable… yup yup yup, we sure are enjoying ourselves getting fit and healthy, especially when we start seeing results in our body! :) so don’t feel sad for her, ‘coz she’s happy with what she’s doing. :))))
If you feel sad for Casey, then don’t bother commenting on her blog. I would rather be as happy and as positive as Casey is, than spending my time putting people down by writing negative comments.
Casey please please please never let these people bring you down. Your an amazing being of light, love and joy :) xox
