Lifestyle: My current eating habits

November 2, 2019 by Moumous |

Hi everyone,

I received a lot of requests about my weight loss journey and what I do to maintain the weight. In a recent survey, some of you requested to talk more about it and this is what I am going to do today. Before we start, If you haven’t read the posts here and here, please check them out for more about my journey as today I will mostly cover my current diet.

As a recap:

  1. I lost 67 lbs in total. 55lbs for the first 3 months of my protein diet and the rest as I am stabilizing and getting into whole new eating habits.
  2. I am 5’1′ and my current weight is 115 lbs.
  3. I decided to lose weight and changed my lifestyle because:
    1. I had to fight against those postpartum and painful hemorrhoids;
    2. My knees became weak and couldn’t support my weight;
    3. I almost had diabetes and hypertension for good after the twins.
    4. To fight my anemia;
    5. And of course, to look good & feel good in my skin as I am very self-conscious when I am overweight.

FYI, I did the NutriWay diet (which has a different name depending on the city/country) under the supervision of a certified nutritionist. Basically, this diet consists of well-portioned protein meals ready-to-eat or that don’t require much preparation. You only have to prepare 1 full meal per day which is your lunch which consisted of a seasonal salad and light vinaigrette, veggies, and protein (chicken /turkey thighs, breast, fish, and derivatives).  If you haven’t guessed already, for this method to be effective, you must avoid carbs, sugar, red meats, and alcohol amongst a few more things. And no, I never had to starve myself as protein will keep you fuller for a longer period of time than your regular carbs/sugar diet. I ate 5 times a day and I have been happy with the result. I will not show before and after pictures, It’s all over the blog and my IG account.

As I am stabilizing and transitioning to a healthy lifestyle, I noticed that I really like most of the benefits of the protein diet and decided to keep a few things in my new eating habits:

  1. I keep my diet high in protein;
  2. I drink a lot of water. Over a gallon per day now;
  3. I still take daily vitamins & fatty acids supplements;
  4. I still eat 5 meals a day.
  5. And I still use some of the snacks and breakfast

I also decided to remove some of the things I used to eat for good or consumed very little occasionally (that’ll explain the additional weight loss + my workout routine):

  1. rice, pasta, white bread & co
  2. sugar 
  3. red meat
  4. alcohol
  5. Fries and chips
  6. etc (lol)

I know that some of you may think that I am not eating anything or not eating well but I will try to give you an idea of how I have been eating for now a year. I can guarantee that I have never been healthier in my life.

So there you have it. I may or may not miss a few things(not on purpose). Before I go, I want to add the disclaimer that I am not a nutritionist. This is what has been working for me. You should probably seek the advice of a professional depending on the severity of your condition. Comment below and let me know if you have additional questions or to share your own journey with me. I would love to read about your struggles in your journey to keep your ideal weight.

Thanks for stopping by.

XoXo,

Moumous

Mother’s Day Reflection 💐 Today, I’m just Mother’s Day Reflection 💐

Today, I’m just sitting in gratitude for the blessing of experiencing motherhood. I may not be the perfect mom, but I’ve somehow been trusted with the greatest kids — and that’s more than enough.
They keep surprising me, making me proud, and showing me love in ways that melt my heart.

Last night, Aby told me that her friends always say she’s lucky to have a cool mom. I smiled and told her, “You make it so easy for me.” She looked at me and said, “I’m just grateful for the greatest mom.”

Who’s cutting onions? 😭💕

To every mom out there — whether by blood, by choice, or by love — Happy Mother’s Day. You’re doing more than you think, and you are appreciated more than you know. 💛
