Ciara’s Diet
Summary
Ciara tended to take a feast or famine approach to her diet, but when she started leaning a little too far toward the ‘feast’ side, and heavy on the desserts, she had to revisit her diet and lost 29 lbs. by doing Weight Watch-ers Reimagined (WW). With WW, all foods are as-signed points, so rather than count calories, you only need to track points. She said she has learned a whole new way of eating, and now understands that diet isn’t about condemning yourself to eating only raw carrots. She has 5-8 small meals per day, and has figured out healthy alternatives to her old favorites. Hydration is also important to health, and she makes a point to drink plenty of water.

Diet Details
Pass on the Guilt
Ciara admits to having an extremist view of dieting, that the only way to lose weight was to not eat, or have ‘rabbit food.’ She has since learned about portion control.
Brownie Points
The WW point system Ciara uses is very simple: healthy foods are low in points (sometimes zero), and unhealthy foods are high. You’re even allowed to ‘roll over’ up to 4 unused points to the next day.
Handy Trick
Ciara doesn’t deprive herself of real treats, but she also learned to make healthier versions of her favorites, like soft (not fried) taco shells with healthy toppings like avocado, ground turkey, and just a sprinkling of cheese instead of a big gob.
Smart Travel Tip
Ciara recommends packing your own snacks for travel so you don’t get desperate and chow down on unhealthy junk in the airport or gas station.
Sweet Treat
Ciara admits to having a sweet tooth, and she also loves pasta, but rather than eat Oreos and ice cream all day long, she now satisfies her cravings with fresh fruit smoothies.
