Drop 10 + SELF MAG | Healthy & Fit

GET OFF THAT HIND END!! It's SELF MAG's Drop 10 Slim Down :) Not have any idea what I'm talking about??! That's okay, we have plenty of time to go over everything. Every spring SELF MAGAZINE comes out with a new and improved series of full body workouts, meal plans, grocery lists and everything else you could possibly need to slim down right before summer or even a special event months from now. Plus they always have the hottest CELEB trainers creating the workouts! Okay enough of me... here you go!!

 You'll sculpt lean muscle with the strength moves three times a week. Then, torch mega calories with two weekly cardio sessions. You have three interval options mapped out for you. Your trainer: Astrid McGuire, the fit pro and celebrity secret weapon who helped earn Julianne Hough that bod. So, excuses? There are none.

Think of your 1,600 daily calories as workout fuel. You'll eat about 350 calories at breakfast, 450 for lunch, 500 at dinner and another 300 in snacks and treats. SELF contributors Stephanie Clarke, R.D., and Willow Jarosh, R.D., planned a full week of meals, recipes and snacks for you. The combo of protein, carbs and fiber is filling; the dishes, delicious. Just to be clear: Don't skip the treats. Five weeks of deprivation is no way to live.

Here's everything you need to make for your first full week of healthy meals that'll help you slim.
