Betty’s Workout at the Gym–NO RECIPE–
In this video, Betty demonstrates her workout at the gym (due to several requests). I also emphasize the importance of diet in achieving fitness and a healthy lifetstyle. If you are looking for a diet that will definitely take the pounds off and never leave you hungry, I recommend the following. It is a starter diet, and it doesn’t allow a lot of calories. (You may choose to go a little slower, and if you have *any* health issues, you should see your doctor before making any drastic change to your diet.) When you reach your goal weight, you will be able to add in other foods and maintain a happy, healthy, fit lifestyle.
Notes:
1. You have to be committed to considering this as a lifestyle, not a “diet.” When your weight is where you want it, you can add small portions of “treat” food, but the overall outline is for life.
2. Weigh yourself everyday at the same time wearing the same amount of clothing. If you have overeaten the day before, it will show up.
3. If there is a food group that you don’t particularly like, eat it anyway, and consider it as “medicine” for a healthy and slim life.
4. Before you begin, prepare a ziplock bag with fresh carrot strips and celery sticks (or other favorite munchable vegetables). If you are ever hungry during the day, eat as much of this as necessary, until you are no longer hungry.
5. I designed this lifestyle “diet” for myself, and it keeps me at my desired weight, allowing me occasional “treat” food. I weigh 112 pounds. If you weigh, say, twice as much, then double the amount of each meal or snack.
Example day:
(You may substitute, as long as you keep it similar in calories and nutrition. For example, water may be substituted for any drink; grapes and cheese may be replaced with kiwi fruit and almonds; tuna for lunch can be replaced with canned chicken; grilled chicken for dinner may be replaced with grilled salmon, etc.)
7:00 Breakfast:
3 egg whites, black coffee
12:00 Lunch:
1 can tuna (nothing added), iced tea
1:00 snack:
1 large apple, cored and cut into wedges, iced tea or water
4:30 snack:
small cluster of seedless red grapes, small block Swiss cheese, iced tea or water
6:30 dinner:
1 small grilled chicken breast, 1/2 plate mixed frozen vegetables, cooked, iced tea or water
8:00 snack:
3 or 4 cups popcorn (the kind that is 15 calories per popped cup–you may spray with butter spray and add sprinkle cheese or herbs), zero-calorie drink
Every day I take a multivitamin/multimineral supplement, a 1200 mg fish oil capsule, a 600 mg calcium supplement, which contains 800 I.U. Vitamin D, plus an additional 400 I.U. Vitamin D tablet, and a baby aspirin. These supplements and amounts are my doctor’s recommendations.
I hope this is helpful to you! –Betty

@JoeHell67 The classes I attend at the university last 1 hour and 15 minutes. If I am working out at home, I have a step-with-weights video routine that is 70 minutes long. I’m sure that’s way below your daily training!

I disagree. You should adjust your caloric intake according to level of your activity, not your weight.

@8Priscilla Hi, …
@8Priscilla Hi, Priscilla! I have done it both ways. Lately, when I go on vacation, I take a vacation from working out (and from eating super healthy). I’m not saying that’s the best thing to do, but, for me it works out well. When it comes to workouts and diets, it is *not* what you do in 1 or 2 weeks that makes or breaks anything; it’s what you do with the other 50 or 51 weeks of the year! That’s the real key to fitness and healthy living!

Betty, when you go on vacation do you work out at the hotel, or do you play catch up when you get back home? Just wondering if not working out every other day when on vacation will throw off your/ones routine. Thanks

Betty, this is excellent. I appreciate how honest and straightforward you are. Often times people will lie to your face saying they eat everything and just “happen” to be thin. That’s rarely the case in my experience! I appreciate that you show us a healthy yet disciplined approach. You are a great role model. I’ve learned some great tips from you. THANK YOU

@aliciaqin1 We have an elliptical and bike at home, so I was just showing what I do at the gym, beginning with the treadmill. I am 5′4. I follow my “diet,” but, since I am at my goal weight, I am able to add in small portions of other foods. Workouts also give me more leeway on the diet, so I am not losing weight. The diet is for people just starting to lose weight, and does not have to be followed strictly if you are at your goal weight.

Hi Betty! Can you remember the name of the cake you made last easter (I think). It was made with strawberries, whipped cream mixture, and was an angel food cake. I can’t find it and my son is wanting it for Easter. Thanks!

How come you don’t do the eliptical, bike machine or the treadmill? And how tall are you? 112lbs is TINY! And your diet thing you put in the sidebar is SO low calorie, i would think with the workouts, you would be loosing weight.
