How I lose 10kg in 4 months. Healthy approach

Four months seems to be a short time for some people. But for me it has been a long food's journey. It is the first time in my life that I have been constant to follow and believe in sort of food regime. DIET?? I don´t call it diet, I call it a style of healthy living

Here pictures from june and August 2014 when I was at home in Ecuador. My mother cooked so well that I did not stop eating all what I could. Imagine, I live in Czech Republic and the food we have in here(pork+dumplings) is very different to my beloved Ceviche and traditional Ecuadorian sea food dishes(Full of carbs and plantains), the last trip cost me 5kg more.

I’m 26 years old, 1.65 cm .. apparently my ideal weight is 50-55 kg…

Since my 20’s I have been earning 2kg per year in August 2014 my weight was 75kg (overweight)

I choose 2 days of the week, non consecutive days. 2 days in which I’m busy and I have fewer chances to fail.
Those 2 days of every week THE FASTEN DAYS, I consume just 500 cal. Normally per day my consumption is 1200 cal (according to fitnesspal).
I’m not an active person; I work in front of the computer from 8am to 8pm . Workouts ? , I did it sometimes when I was bored (on weekends - dancing ).
You are wondering , 500 cal in one DAY??? , and example: let’s say on breakfast you eat kiwi and tea (50cal), on lunch chicken soup and tomato salad (70+30 cal) and for dinner; you eat tuna fish with salad and bread (300cal ).You still can eat a 50 cal snack during the day, that will sum 500 cal in one diet day. The other days of the week (5day) you can eat whatever you want.
Can you call this a diet? If you chose wisely your meals, You don’t have to starve.

My flatmates are testing this diet and guess what, It's working for them as well , My friend Misha doesn't have breakfast on Fasten days, she prefer to drink tea all morning, at 13.00 she eats a piece of chicken with salad and for dinner soup and more tea. The advantage is the flexibility and that you can alternate what suits better to your life style.

Doctors call it The Fasten diet. In some web sites 5:2 intermittent fasting http://thefastdiet.co.uk/ (more info) .It was created by doctors for people with heart issues or simple patients that need to lose some kilo after operation. After an extensive scientific research I convince myself that this approach was the one for me (not bouncing effects), eating what I want but taking care of the amount of it , controlling calories (it seem to be hard but when you find the trick and using fitnesspal, it's sooo easy) Now I consider twice before eating junky food and I choose homemade food, organic , veggie, soja meat..... (to be continue..)

Here after 4 months


I’m still on my way to get back to my weight when I was Miss Duran in 2012 (55kg ), I’m eager to new challenges so since one month I'm practicing joga in the morning to tonify my body.

I would like to share my tips and everything in detail about this experience in other posts, maybe I can help more people that feel identified with me, or curious readers that may like to try it.

Comment if you have any question or if you experience this diet as me

Love and Good vibes
