2 servings. 170 kcal/11g protein per serving
2 large zucchini, cut into noodles (3 cups of zoodles) see prep tip below
2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
12 large shrimp, shelled and deveined (about ½ pound), I used frozen and defrosted

4. Increase heat to medium. To the same pan, add white wine and lemon juice. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, cooking the wine and lemon juice for 2 minutes. Add the softened zucchini noodles and cooked shrimp. Toss to combine and heat about 30 seconds.
5. Divide the zoodles among 2 plates and spread out over the plate. Top each with 6 shrimp. Sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Makes 2 servings. Each serving 6 shrimp and ½ the zoodles.

this is a one week program i made based on various brandy melville girls on youtube. i've been watching their vlogs and eating videos to curate this program based on what a brandy melville model lifestyle is like. before you start, set a calorie limit for yourself for this program - i recommend taking your TDEE and subtracting 500 from it, which will give you a nice, clean, sustainable weight loss of 2.2lbs a week by default (obviously higher with exercise). for the recommended meals, you can take some food out or add some in to suit your calorie limit.
♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡
day 1
brandy girls have a refined, straight posture. you'll never catch them slouching or with lazy, drooping shoulders. to improve your posture, stand straight against the wall. pretend the wall is pushing all your limbs towards it and you have no choice but to stand completely straight with your chin up. remain in this position for a few minutes, then, not breaking the posture, walk around so you get used to the feeling.
exercise
take a 1 hour walk with perfect posture. if you get tired, walk slower, but no matter what do NOT slouch. having a good posture can make you look inches taller than you are! not to mention how classy and polished you'll look. finish off with a steady 20 minute jog. if you're unable to jog for whatever reason, do another 1 hour walk.
recommended meals
today is a high carb day so you start off with a lot of energy. have some oatmeal for breakfast, with whatever add-ins fit within your caloric intake. for lunch have some avocado toast (sprouted/whole wheat bread if possible) with any seasonings you'd like. for dinner the choice is yours!
day 2
today is a self-care day so that you can focus on perfecting your skincare routine. do a DIY mask based on your skin type. don't forget sunscreen if you want youthful, age-defying skin. speaking of skin, you know what's bad for it? dairy! it's no wonder why lots of brandy girls avoid dairy or go vegan altogether. milk can increase your blood sugar level which stimulates hormones like testosterone that directly cause more oil. opt for plant based milks (which are also really low cal), or just simply avoid dairy. that means no yogurts, cheeses, or milk.
exercise
since today is a self-care day, do one hour of relaxing yoga and one hour of pilates. (link: https://tinyurl.com/1houryogaaa for yoga, repeat 3 times for pilates i recommend "blogilates" on youtube)
recommended meals
today is kind of a freebie, just don't go over your calorie limit, and no dairy. also, processed carbs can be just as bad as dairy for your skin, so no white bread, white rice, pasta, or sugary cereals, either.
day 3
brandy melville is famous for its chill, laidback californian vibe. you wouldn't be wearing stuffy sweatpants or jeans in the sweltering california heat, would you? brandy girls usually opt for a cute pair of shorts or a high-waisted skirt, so you need to get those legs in shape!
exercise
do a booty/leg workout on youtube. i recommend chloe ting's workouts, they seriously burn so many calories and will get you that brandy body. repeat three times, feel free to take a break in between. (link: https://tinyurl.com/chloeslegworkout)
recommended meals
since you're trying to tone your legs, make sure to consume lots of protein today. for breakfast have some scrambled eggs or tofu scramble. for lunch a simple protein shake of your choice will suffice, use plant based milk/protein powder if you have some available. if not, i highly recommend buying some. for dinner, make a tofu stir fry (link: https://tinyurl.com/tofustirfryxx). if you're using the recipe i attached, modify the ingredients as needed to fit your calories.
day 4
brandy girls are well-known for their advocacy for "juice cleanses." juice cleanses give your metabolism, digestive system, and energy levels a much needed detox. for the sake of this program one day will suffice, but i highly recommend you doing a full three day cleanse once you're done with this program.
exercise
since your legs might be sore, focus on toning those arms today. do 200 push-ups (knee pushups if you're unable to do a regular one) and 30 planks (45s each) scattered throughout the day.
recommended meals
juice cleanse. i personally love these recipes (https://tinyurl.com/...ecleanserecipes) but feel free to use any you'd like. you can also buy premade detox juices if you can afford them.
day 5
water clears your skin and gives you that hydrated, glowing complexion that's trademark of brandy girls. ever notice they don't seem to wear a lot of makeup? today, buy a cute water bottle that you can sip from throughout the day. feel free to add lemon or mint for extra flavor. experiment with other veggies/herbs. try to not drink any alcohol, it's pretty much a waste of calories.
exercise
do chloe ting's "do this everyday to lose weight" (link=https://tinyurl.com/chloetingshred) workout and have a brief water break every set. make sure to drink at least 3 liters of water today, and 2 liters everyday for the rest of the program. repeat at LEAST four times throughout the day. take breaks as needed, but get it done! you can do this!
recommended meals
since we're trying to up our water intake, continuously snack on veggies and fruits with a high water content. for veggies: zucchini (hint: zoodles), cauliflower (cauliflower rice), celery, cucumber, iceberg lettuce, tomato, broccoli, and spinach. for fruits: blueberries, plums, apricots, oranges, pineapples, melons, cantaloupes, and raspberries.
day 6
one of the staples of a brandy girl's wardrobe is crop tops. showing off your lean, toned stomach will be sure to garner the envy of everyone around you. before you start trying to get those chiseled abs, you have to lose fat around your entire body. luckily, working out makes this a simple feat.
exercise
again, do chloe ting's "do this everyday to lose weight" workout (linked earlier). supplement with her HIIT workout (link=https://tinyurl.com/10minhiit). repeat each four times. your body will thank you!
recommended meals
protein day! for breakfast have some proats (blend together vegan protein powder and oats) with any toppings that fit your calories. for lunch, make some lentil stew (recipe that i love: https://tinyurl.com/lentilstewmm). if you're still hungry, for dinner have some cauliflower fried rice (https://tinyurl.com/y65syo2n - vegans can substitute or take out the egg).
day 7
all that hard work led to your first photoshoot! photoshoot days are quite busy. for breakfast you only had time for a cup of green tea before you had to rush to the shoot. you only get one lunch break, and by the time you're home you're so exhausted you forget to eat before you fall asleep.
exercise
during a photoshoot, models are on their feet the entire day. aim for 15k+ steps today and spend as much time as you can standing rather than lounging in bed. don't forget that posture!
recommended meals
today is OMAD (one meal a day). your meal should be packed with nutrients and protein, so i recommend a salad/lots of veggies with a protein such as tofu, tempeh, or some salmon.
♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡
if you stick to your calorie limit along with this program, you should see results in your body within a week. these results will continue to add up as you repeat the program. good luck, you got this !

Low Cal Banana Pancakes
10 pancakes/25.4kcal each
254kcal for the full recipe
Ingredients
1 banana (The one I used was about 125g) - 112kcal
2 egg whites - 34kcal
30g/¼ cup of all purpose flour - 110kcal
1 tsp baking powder - 0kcal
Recipe
Step 1: Cut the banana in small piece and then smash it in a bowl until it looks like a puree. You can also blend them if you prefer.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until you reach stiff peaks.
Step 3: Slowly fold in the egg whites in the banana using a spatula or a spoon.
Step 4: Slowly fold in the flour and the baking powder in the mixture.
Step 5: Preheat a NON-STICK PAN. When the pan is hot, put about a huge spoonful of batter on it and then cover the pan with a lid. Flip it when the bottom looks cooked and then cook the other side for a minute or 2. Repeat until the batter is done.
Step 6: Enjoy!!
* Using a Non-Stick pan is very important or else it will stick.
* I used a non-stick panini grill because it's all I had but it still worked.
* I ate 5 of the pancakes and kept the rest in the freezer.
List of my safe foods
Oatmeal, tomatoes, spinach, kale, broccoli, eggs, low cal noodles, low cal rice, unsalted seaweed, 0 cal sparkling water eg Izze or La Croix, 30 calorie almond milk, 40 cal bread, low fat plain yogurt, eggplant, mushrooms, parsley, any herbs, carrots, celery, salads, bananas, apples, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, mango, figs, grapes, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 35 cal rice cakes, almond flour, coconut flour, stevia 0 cal sweetener, any 0 cal tea, 1 sq dark chocolate unsweetened, low cal pasta, I let myself indulge my cheese cravings by eating one spoon of low fat shredded cheese, hot sauce, bell peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, and that's all I can think of right now.
Feel free to comment any of your safe foods, I'd like to try more of your safe foods. I love finding low calorie recipes and eating healthy. I try to do one meal a day or several snacks thru the day. I've starved myself before and I can't do it again. I got horrible headaches and I couldn't focus on anything.
my new go-to low cal meal is broccoli stir fried in tamari sauce on top of cauliflower rice. the whole thing is under 100 cals (depends how much u make also I haven’t actually looked up how many cals this is but I’m assuming it’s very low). I like to add pepper, garlic, and cayenne to the broccoli and it’s literally so good and satisfying it’s like healthy crack
followed a recipe i found on here for low-cal pumpkin muffins but when i screenshotted it, their username was cropped out so i can’t credit them /; the picture on the right was my finished product!
i didn’t add any walnuts, and instead of adding 40g of chocolate to the batter i topped each muffin with ½ tbsp. dark chocolate chips (35 cals). the batter made 17 muffins, making each muffin 90 cals, and 125 cals with chocolate chips on top. took a while to make but i just had one for breakfast and it was pretty good!
