Healthy Living: Nestle Fitnesse 14-Day Program Week One

I’ve decided to take on the Nestle Fitnesse 14-day program not because I wanted to lose weight but more because I wanted to change my diet. Basically, I wanted to add more whole grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits. And also at the same time eliminate white rice, pasta, and bread from my diet. I wanted to replace junk foods with healthier options and I thought Nestle Fitnesse would be a great jumpstart for that.

The Nestle Fitnesse 14-day program is not cheap but it isn’t ridiculously expensive either compared to other diet plans out there. It can be a good option for losing weight or for healthier eating. It requires a lot of discipline and strict adherence with the meal plan to achieve optimal results. Exercising is also crucial since diet and exercise go hand in hand. For my exercise, I opted to do 10 to 15 minutes cardio a day and some toning exercises targeted for the stomach area afterwards. I am focused on the stomach area because it’s the only place in my body that’s a little out of shape. So all in all, my whole exercise regimen would only take about 20 to 30 minutes of my day. I’ve read that doing cardio is crucial if you want to burn fat in the stomach area and is a must before doing all those crunches and sit ups. It would just be a waste to just build muscle on top of fat.           

The Nestle Fitnesse Cereal comes in 3 variants: the regular one, the one with honey and almonds, and the one with fruits. The cereal also comes in 2 sizes: 180g which has 6 servings of cereal and 330g which has 11 servings. If you follow the portions, you would need 2 big boxes and 1 small box for the whole 14 days. The regular Nestle Fitness cereal 180g costs Php100 while the 330g costs Php170. It would cost you Php440 for the cereal alone for the 14-day program.


 I  planned ahead before starting with the program. I grocery shopped and planned my meals in advance so that I can follow through for the whole two weeks and I advise you to do the same if you ever decide to try the 14-day program yourself. 

Here’s what I ate during the first 7 days of the Nestle Fitnesse plan.

*Instead of using skim milk or low fat milk, I opted for sugar-free soymilk.
