Kayla Itsines’ diet

You all know Kayla Itsines and her Bikini Body Guide: a young athlete / blogger / diet star who teaches how to eat and train in a short time but every day and at high intensity to have a “bikini body”. A tad offensive quote of the bikini body (any body in a bikini is), however Itsines is a star: slim, young, attractive, active, Kayla has become the example to follow for millions of women in all. the world they want to be like her.
Either way, everyone chooses the models they want. Too bad Itsines eats more than you.
Kayla Itsines’ diet, posted on her blog on a typical day, it is in fact a “whole food” diet (ie with few snacks and industrial products) in which the aforementioned eats, yes, natural foods, but also decidedly energetic, starting from breakfast.

In fact, here is a typical day of Kayla Itsines’ diet:
Breakfast: Kayla wakes up at five and eats toast with an egg , then hears her customers.
Second breakfast: two slices of wholemeal bread with an egg, tomato and a slice of avocado
Snack: a smoothie with skim milk, skimmed yogurt, strawberries and vanilla protein powder.
(spoiler: already with these three meals we are eight hundred calories) In the meantime Kayla worked and took a long walk with her dogs. Lunch : a wholemeal piadina with 80 gr of sliced turkey, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, onion and salad or a mega salad with: vegetables, salad, tuna, mozzarella, croutons or quinoa.

(spoiler: it is the caloric equivalent of an 80 gr plate of wholemeal pasta with tuna and tomatoes, maybe a little more)
Snack: some mango or an “acai bowl” that is a bowl of fruit with acai berries, seeds and fruit, otherwise another yogurt smoothie with carrots and celery
Dinner: a legume curry with brown rice, or roast beef with vegetables and quinoa, or salmon fillet with vegetables, brown rice and nuts. As for lunch, dinner is also about 500 calories, perhaps something more.
Total: about 2 thousand calories.

Which are fine. They are the needs of an adult woman, and remember that Kayla trains about half an hour a day at high intensity. Plus, her diet is healthy, correct and very nutritious.
The problem is: how many women eat like her? Itsines is 1.64 meters tall and weighs 52 kilos, so it’s small. She certainly has an active lifestyle, but many of you exercise more than you and eat less than you. What I mean is that Kayla may be a winning model, but the difference between her and whoever wants to be like her is that in the latter case, people often cut calories and don’t eat enough to get that “bikini body”. , while she is already in that body, it is his.
