This is the video where I’ll tell you guys how I lost 10 pounds.

First of all, I want to say that I am NOT a dietitian.

What techniques work for me may not particularly work for you.

So let me start off with the general stats of my body.

Late 2011 I was around 115 to 113 pounds.

My weight is always fluctuating most bodies do.

And now 2013 I am a hundred pounds or ninety-eight to a hundred pounds.

Before you freak out, this is quite normal for my height.

I am not underweight, and I’m actually a lot healthier now.

This took me over a year to lose this weight

I know it sounds ridiculous  This is actually really important

because just the conscious effort of taking picture of your food

stopping and hold your appetite for 5 seconds.

You kind of conceive what your diets was like

I personally use am IPhone app called Eatery

It’s super, super slow because people created it

but it’s still functioning, and it’s something I use religiously

I took over a thousand meals on that thing.

And it’s been helping me a lot to moderate what I eat

and so if I eat an donut on Monday I wound remember that

I ate a donut until Friday when I can eat another donut

You know you start gathering data about yourselves and just truly learning what it is.

Take picture of the good meals that you eat

and the really crappy foods that you are eating.

I found that documents to my food really   make me excited for my meals

because I kind of I view foods as a treat

If you don’t have an iPhone, just take pictures with your cellphone

Upload that into your laptop maybe every month

It’s no different than writing down the food

but I just think that taking a picture with   your cellphone is a lot easier.

Carbs (carbohydrates) to me are the devil

I am quite aware that there are good carbs

AKA complex carbohydrates that are good for you

And there’s also bad carbs like refined carbohydrates

That’s a really soft wonder bread Carbs that are freaking delicious

As I person just try to avoid carbs as best as I can

because I person would rather use my calories on proteins, veggies, fiber

You know just other things that aren’t carbs

I probably eat carbs maybe once or twice a meal

I always try to make one meal my day just completely carb-less.

I just try my best not to fall into the cravings.

You already treat yourself out because you are eating that freaking yummy burger

There’s really not need to overindulge in that pile of garlic fries

When I’m eating pizza I won’t eat the crust

even though that’s my favorite part especially if there   is garlic dipping sauce in it.

When you’re eating sandwich, take a one slice of bread off.

And when I am deciding which bread to flip off from the sandwich,

I always make sure I keep this side of   bread that is soaked with yummy sauces

Or like honey mustard  Something like that

I just keep that side and throw the rest of the carbs away

They’re very subtle changes but gradually

they're going to help you wean off the carbs   and just be a lot more healthy.

that means that recipes are unconfined to what it says on the paper

you can add things in and take things out

For example, instant noodles are one of my favorite meals

You know it’s kind of a staple of a college student

But I do with my meals is that I   break off half of the noodles

And then I put everything in on and you know

I'll add zucchini or I'll add broccoli or spinach, kale or tofu

just anything to add more nutrients to my meal

You’ll realize that you don’t really need all the noodles

So Although you are eating a sodium-packed meal

My personal things is I just try to avoid   carbs and that’s what worked for me

Whatever mediocre meal I am cooking at night

I’ll just add some broccoli on the side or some steamed veggies.

It just makes the components of a meal just a lot healthier

You will feel a lot better about yourself   seeing some color in your meals

And just those baby steps that are gonna help you
