Woman Drops 80 Pounds in 3 Years Using These 10 Simple Food Rules

One weight loss warrior opens up about how she dropped weight fast.

Are you looking for some easy but effective weight loss tips? MishLove is a weight loss enthusiast who "lost 80 pounds naturally" and regularly shares tips on how she did it. In a recent viral video, she discusses how to lose weight fast. "I lost 80 pounds. I've been able to keep it off for three years," she says. "I'm going to show you what I did at the beginning of my journey to get fast results, to keep me motivated to lose 80 pounds and keep it off for three years."

Create a Weekly Food Plan

The first tip is to create a weekly food plan. "You need to know exactly what you're going to eat for the entire week. You need to know exactly what you're going to eat every single day, Monday through Friday, from your dinner to your snack, to your lunch, if you're going to make another snack dinner, how much water you're going to drink, if you're going to drink any tea," she says in her post. She doesn't prep meals, but she still makes sure she knows what she will eat and has everything she needs to make it. "Stick to the script, and I promise you it's going to work. If it's not on the list for that day, you do not eat it. Period. Point blank."

Stop Eating When You Are Full

Tip number two is to stop eating when you are full. "No more overeating when you are full. You save it for later and go about your day," she says. "I don't care how much your body craves it. Do not eat the food. Save it for later. You're not starving yourself. Once your body is satisfied, you're done."

Stop Eating Empty Calories

Tip number three is to stop eating empty calories. "Stop eating things that are low in protein, low in fiber, high in bad carbs, high in sugar. Eat intentionally. Eat things that are low in sugar, high in protein, high in fiber, and have no bad carbs. They are a little bad carbs and a little processed foods. Eat things that are going to help you on your fitness journey, such as a high fiber, high protein diet, which is going to take your weight loss journey to the next level," she says.

4. Move Your Body More

Tip number four is moving your body more. "The perfect weight loss duo is eating less than what you're currently eating now and moving your body more than what you're currently doing. Now, those two together are going to take your body to the next level a lot faster than just doing, working ou,t or just eating properly. You want to do them together," she says.

"Tip number five is going to be drinking this every single morning on an empty stomach," she says. It consists of six ounces of water, two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a hint of cayenne pepper, and half a lemon. "It is not gonna taste that good, but it's amazing for your gut," she says. "It's going to help you with bloating, and it aids in weight loss. So drink that every single morning. I was very consistent with drinking when I first started my weight loss journey. That's going to take you to another level, trust me. Please be consistent with that."

Stop Drinking Sugary Drinks

Tip number six: stop drinking sugary drinks. "I was very good at this in the beginning. I always read the back of the labels of the drinks, and if there were anything more than five grams of sugar in them, I would not drink it at all. It was just way too much. Even now, to this day, I really do not drink anything that has more than five grams of sugar. For one, it is just way too sweet for me now. But reduce your sugary drink intake dramatically."

Reduce Condiment Intake

Tip seven: you're reducing your intake of condiments that are high in sugar and high in calories. "For example, if you want barbecue sauce and you want to do Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce with no sugar," she says. "You're going to have to start looking at the labels and seeing how much sugars are in these sauces and how many calories because they do add up. Also, do not drown your salads in ranch or whatever salad dressing you're using. Your salad should not be white."

Only Eat When You Are Hungry

Tip eight is understanding that it is okay to eat only when you are hungry. "Some days, you're going to want all your meals and all your snacks you have planned out. And then, some days you're only going to want two meals and one snack. Both days are okay. Do not force yourself to eat. But what you don't want to do is starve yourself. You never wanna miss out on a meal because you're trying to save calories," she says. "All that's going to do is create a negative weight loss experience, and then you're going to gain the weight back."

Tip number nine is starting your day off with a high-protein meal. "It's going to keep you full longer. It was a staple when I first started. I do it now to this day. You want to make sure that your eating protein in the morning is going to keep you full. So, just carbs are not going to do it. Just fiber is not going to do it. Eat some protein," she says.

Drink Ginger and Mint Tea Daily

Her last tip is to drink ginger and mint tea every single day. "Trust me, it's amazing for your skin, amazing for your gut. You can drink it multiple times a day, or you can just drink it once a day, but drink it after a meal, and you're going to feel great right after," she says.
