I Lost 40 Pounds and Here Is Everything I Ate in Day
With all the designer diets, complicated meal plans, and trendy eating methods, figuring out what to eat for weight loss can seem overwhelming. However, you can lose weight by eating the same food every day, multiple weight loss warriors testify. Online fitness coach Alexandra (@alexx.fitt) personally lost 40 pounds by making simple changes to her diet and fitness routine. She regularly shares videos on Instagram and TikTok about all the hacks she used to slim down. In a recent video she details her weight loss diet – and it's incredibly simple.
She "Ate the Same Meals Every Single Day"
"For 1-2 months I ate the same meals every single day why? Because I was confused I didn't know what to eat or where to start so I ate the same thing everyday," Alexandra confesses in the caption of her video.
Breakfast
For breakfast she gave herself two options, one sweet and the other savory. One "would always be oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder and brandy butter," she reveals. The second? Eggs with turkey bacon, veggies, and a bagel.

Lunch
For lunch she kept things simple. "I'd usually eat some type of wrap/ sandwich I'd add mayo, turkey, ham, salami, cheese and a bunch of veggies," she writes.
Snacks
Alexandra had a few go-to snacks. "I'd have a protein bar, protein shake, fruit, yogurt bowls, bagels with cream cheese, snack plates, anything I was craving that day, just made sure it was a decent portion," she says.
Dinner
For dinner, she "would switch things up" but gravitated toward bowls. She would "add a bunch of lettuce, rice and either ground turkey, chicken, ground beef, any kind of protein and I'd add toppings like tortilla chips, Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, salsa, cheese ugh they're so good and so filling," she says.
