I lost 30 lbs of weight in 13 weeks. Here's a quick guide to my nutrition plan.

*Initial disclaimer - I highly advise you to check your doctor and nutritionist before you do any type of diet. My plan below may not be suitable to your condition and might be harmful.*<br><br>**My Story**<br><br>I'm 23. I'm 5'7". In May, I was about 168 lbs. I had an average of 6 meals a day, and a speech impediment. I was probably the most unhealthy I have ever been.<br><br>On July 4th, 2017, I decided to completely change my lifestyle and diet.<br><br>To keep it short, I'm now 138 lbs and I have 9% body fat. I have 5 meals a day and I can eat whatever I want.<br><br>Here are the tenets of my nutrition plan:<br><br>* 150 grams of protein and 50 grams of carbohydrates everyday<br>* 5 meals a day (3 heavy meals, 2 snacks)<br>* 2-3 hour interval in between meals<br>* I eat until I'm satisfied, but not until I'm full.<br>* No cheat days, no snacks<br>* Anything that's bad for me, I get rid of it ASAP.<br>* I don't count calories, I count nutrients. I don't care if it's 500 calories, if it doesn't have any protein, I don't eat it. <br><br>**I know my nutrition needs**<br><br>I know how many carbs, protein, and calories I need for the day, and I know when exactly to eat them. I don't care how much calories my food has, as long as it fills up my nutrition quota, then I'm okay.<br><br>**No "bad" foods**<br><br>There's no such thing as "bad foods", there's such thing as a "bad diet". If you eat pizzas, burgers, and fries everyday, then expect to be unhealthy. But if you allow yourself to eat pizzas, burgers, and fries once a week and you stick to your nutrition plan, then that's perfectly fine. Since I don't need to count calories, I can afford to eat anything I want for as long as I stay within my quota.<br><br>***No cheat days***<br><br>Because let's be honest, it's called "cheating" for a reason. Cheating is when you break a promise and you don't tell the person you're in a relationship with. If you're on a diet, you shouldn't be promising yourself that you're gonna stick to your diet and then break it at the end of the week.<br><br>***No snacks***<br><br>If you've noticed, all my meals have proteins, carbs, and veggies, except for snacks. Snacks usually have carbs, no veggies. That's why it's called a bad habit. I got rid of it ASAP.<br><br>***I love to drink***<br><br>I love to drink soda, juice, and milk tea. But they're all unhealthy. I still drink them, but I make sure that the calories and sugar I consume adds up to my quota. I buy 0-calorie versions of soda, I drink 100% fruit juices, I drink tea without milk and sugar. I still satisfy my cravings but I make sure I stay within my quota.<br><br>***I eat anything I want at any time of the day***<br><br>I love to eat pizza, pasta, and burgers. I can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't care when I eat it but I care about my nutrition needs.<br><br>***I'm not "on a diet"****<br><br>I'm not "on a diet" anymore, but I still follow my plan. I don't force myself to eat healthy. My body naturally craves for healthy food. Once you get rid of your unhealthy cravings, your body will naturally crave for healthy food.<br><br>***I'm not lazy anymore***<br><br>I can do anything now without getting tired. I can do cardio, I can do heavy workouts, I can do yoga, I can do anything.<br><br>[ edit - This is very similar to the keto diet. The only difference is I don't count calories, I count nutrients.<br><br>Edit 2, to clarify - When I said "I'm not on a diet", I meant I'm not forcing myself to eat healthy. ]
