How to get toned stomach?
Leana shared her top 5 rules on Instagram, writing:
1. Eat 80 percent of your meals at home: You control your portions, ingredients, and progress better when you cook at home.
2. Build balanced plates: Stop cutting out macros, they all have a purpose! I always say this because it’s sooo important. Protein, carbs, and fats each play a vital role. Balance is the key, not restriction. In those 2 months I made sure to eat balanced every single day and I still do.
3. Quality workouts > quantity: No need to train 7 days a week. If you push hard, 4-5 sessions are more than enough to see results.
4. Cherish your rest days: Rest days aren’t lazy days—they’re when your muscles recover and grow. Respect them! Eat, go out, have a good nap, watch a movie… anything that makes you feel good to come back stronger is great.
5. Sleep 7-9 hours: Magic happens when you sleep. Muscle recovery, fat loss, and metabolism boost all happen during rest.
Dessert recipe to fight sugar cravings
Earlier, Leana shared a protein-rich dessert recipe with tofu that helps fight sugar cravings. With it she wrote, “Refined sugar can be tough to quit entirely, but reducing your intake is a powerful step, especially if you deal with sugar cravings. One of the best ways to manage this is by replacing refined sugar with natural alternatives. For example, ripe bananas are perfect; the riper they are, the sweeter they become naturally. I personally use other natural sweeteners like orange juice/zest or apples in my desserts but banana is really my fav.”
