🚀 Sasha's Weight Loss Journey Overview
In this paragraph, Sasha introduces her weight loss journey, starting from weighing 200 lbs at 5'5" and dropping to around 135 lbs. She shares her struggles with motivation and how it took her years to start. She discusses the unhealthy eating habits that led to her initial weight gain, such as eating Hot Cheetos and Mexican candy daily. Sasha explains that she didn't follow a strict diet but adopted a lifestyle change instead, leading to the eventual loss of almost 70 lbs in under 6 months.
🍽️ Portion Control and Small Adjustments
Sasha explains how she began to lose weight by reducing portion sizes, especially during dinner. She shares how using smaller plates tricked her mind into thinking she was eating more than she was. Her dinners consisted of chicken or beef, vegetables like broccoli or asparagus, and white rice, though she later reduced her rice intake. She also experimented with the 'one meal a day' (OMAD) diet, but found it unsustainable due to binge eating tendencies.
💪 The Role of Exercise in Weight Loss
Although Sasha primarily credits her weight loss to diet, she did incorporate some exercise into her routine, such as running, squats, and using a bike. She notes that her workouts lasted for about two months, with sessions about twice a week, but she eventually stopped exercising when school resumed. She emphasizes that despite her minimal exercise, her weight loss was mainly driven by her diet.
🍫 Indulging in Moderation
Sasha discusses the importance of not depriving oneself of favorite treats during a weight loss journey. She advises allowing small indulgences, like a Halloween-sized candy bar, to satisfy cravings without overindulging. This approach helped her stay consistent without feeling overly restricted.
💧 The Benefits of Drinking Water
Sasha highlights how drinking a gallon of water a day drastically improved her physical performance, prevented headaches, boosted brain function, enhanced skin health, and regulated digestion. She emphasizes that staying hydrated is key to feeling better and losing weight effectively.
🤔 Don't Overcomplicate Weight Loss
Sasha reflects on how she initially overcomplicated her weight loss journey, always delaying the start. She stresses the importance of starting immediately instead of waiting for the 'perfect time.' For her, weight loss boiled down to three simple things: diet, exercise, and water. She also found motivation by watching other people's weight loss progress online.
📊 Tracking Progress and Understanding Your Body
Sasha describes how she tracked her weight daily to better understand her body, including factors like water weight and food intake. She learned how certain foods, like rice, affected her weight and made adjustments accordingly. Tracking helped her stay confident in her progress.
⏳ Fasting and Eating Windows
Sasha shares her experience with intermittent fasting, specifically avoiding breakfast and eating within an 8-hour window, from 1 PM to 8 PM. She explains that skipping breakfast helps her burn fat more effectively. She also advises avoiding common breakfast foods like pancakes and cereal.
🥵 Struggles and Foods to Avoid
Sasha admits that losing weight was difficult and involved cutting out foods she loved, like cereal, Hot Cheetos, and candy. She replaced them with healthier options such as protein-rich foods, apple cider vinegar, greens, and fruit. She explains how these substitutions helped her manage cravings and stay on track.
👗 Knowing When You Need to Lose Weight
Sasha addresses how people can tell if they need to lose weight, sharing her personal experience of feeling uncomfortable in her clothes and wearing body-shaping garments to hide her figure. She explains that achieving a flatter stomach and losing face fat came as part of her overall weight loss.
👀 How Others Treat You After Weight Loss
Sasha reflects on how people treated her differently after losing weight. While some women gave her 'dirty looks,' others were generally nicer to her. She acknowledges that people's perceptions of her changed, although it was hard to articulate exactly how.
😊 Confidence and Face Fat
Sasha talks about losing face fat and improving her facial appearance as part of her weight loss journey. She used a jade roller and iced her face regularly, which helped reduce her double chin and give her more confidence in her appearance.
🏃 Running for Weight Loss
Sasha suggests that running a mile every day can lead to significant weight loss, potentially helping someone lose 30 lbs in a month. Though she didn't rely heavily on running herself, her past experience with cross country sports helped her stay active.
❌ The Dangers of Starving Yourself
Sasha warns against starving oneself as a method of weight loss. She explains that while starvation might lead to temporary results, the rebound effect can cause more harm, leading to even greater weight gain in the long term.
🥤 Cut Out Soda and Stick to Water
Sasha emphasizes the importance of only drinking water, avoiding soda and other sugary drinks. She advocates for green tea as an alternative and encourages viewers to cut soda out of their diets to achieve better results.
💖 Embrace Your Beauty, but Start Today
In her closing message, Sasha reminds viewers that they are beautiful at any size, but if they want to achieve their goals, they need to start immediately instead of delaying. She encourages taking action now and working hard to see progress, just like maintaining a daily skincare routine.
👍 Final Words and Encouragement
Sasha wraps up the video by thanking her viewers for their support. She invites them to leave questions and comments, either publicly or privately via Instagram, and encourages them to like, subscribe, and share their progress with her.

Transcripts
did I eat bad stuff when I was losing
weight yes in fact I did and that is
what helped me lose weight so freaking
quick hey guys it's Sasha a long awaited
YouTube video on how to lose weight I
know you guys have been asking for the
freaking longest time but now I'm going
to give it to you guys cuz of course
yall deserve it so let's get on with the
video so let me just give youall a
little backstory so I was 200 lb and for
reference I'm 55 is so if y'all saw the
cover of the video you guys know what
that look like but now I am around 135
is so obviously I'm still trying to lose
weight but I'm going to give y'all all
the tips I use to lose almost 70 lbs so
let me talk a little bit through the
struggles and stuff like that cuz I
don't want you all to feel alone on this
cuz I know it's hard so before I started
losing weight I swear on everything it
took me about 3 years to get motivated
to do it i' be like oh yeah I'm going to
start tomorrow I'm going to start
tomorrow and never started and that
lasted a pretty long time so in all I
did lose around s around 70 lbs within
under 6 months while losing the weight
it was not easy at all because I was so
used to my unhealthy eating habits I I
remember every single day so I wake up I
go to the gas station before school I
get a bag of Hot Cheetos and some
Mexican candy if you guys know what that
green one is do you like suck up the
thing yeah I atat that every sing single
day and obviously that's what got me to
that point of why I look like that so it
was pretty hard going out throughout the
day without either of those things
during my weight loss journey I didn't
really say oh I'm going to die this and
that I called it a new lifestyle so that
being I just changed the way I ate yes I
did have binge eating moments I did have
moments where I literally did not eat at
all I went through it all so if you guys
can relate to that you guys know how
hard hard it is one day I go through
like a bag of Hot Cheetos a freaking
chocolate cake a whole tub of ice cream
and then I'd go without eating for like
an entire day like it was just all over
the place until I found something that
consistently works for me so first I was
like let me cut down on the proportions
because I realized I was eating so much
at once every time we had dinner seconds
like breakfast Hot Cheetos lunch a spicy
chicken sandwich like it was not ending
so I was like what if I did this every
night for dinner I would get a smaller
plate I know you guys most likely have
those bigger plates and you have like
the little smaller plates I would get
the smaller plates and fill those small
plates up instead of the big plates cuz
it tricked my mind into thinking I was
eating a lot but I actually wasn't and
if I did go and get seconds it would be
one big plate it wouldn't be two big
plates let me break it down so I had
chicken broccoli and rice every single
night for dinner it was always chicken
or beef and if it wasn't broccoli it was
asparagus and I always had white rice
but I saw that when I ate a lot of white
rice like cuz I would have white rice
that's the rice I would have you can
have any rice but I just specifically
like the white one but I found the more
of that I ate it didn't go with what I
was wanting to do so I cut down on the
rice ate more meat and then ate more
veggies than the meat so it go veggies
meat and then the rice did I try omad
yes and if you don't know what omad is
it's one meal a day so you would eat one
one meal at the end of the day does that
help you lose weight fast yes and it
it's not I don't I don't consider it
starving yourself I consider starving
yourself just going without eating for
days and days stuff like that I cannot
stay committed that much when it comes
to omad yes it did help me lose weight
but in the long term it didn't help
because it brought me to binge way more
because when I like the next it would
just be a random day of the week and I
just start eating everything up because
I was just like I don't know explain it
but I don't recommend that if you're
prone to like binge eating and things
like that because
girl it's not consistent did I work out
yes but do I no so I worked out for a
good I want to say 2 months out of this
entire thing and not even twoo much
straight like two times a week so my
weight loss was all based off off diet
during my workouts I would do things
like running on the track R meal I would
have this rope and I'd pull it squats
bike just like simple workouts I had a
trainer so he always pushed me to keep
going keep going keep going but
eventually I stopped that right when
summer came or right when summer ended
and then I went back to school and then
started just doing what I normally did
did I eat bad stuff when I was losing
weight yes in fact I did and that is
what helped me lose weight so freaking
quick are some people disciplined yes am
I no so let's say I'm on a diet or a
lifestyle right now and I want a Twix
bar now the next few days I'm going to
be thinking about that Twix bar like oh
and it's going to get worse and worse
and worse but if you just eat a little
bit of that Twix barar get your little
satisfaction like the little like
Halloween Siz ones you're good so that's
what I say when you're trying to like
Diet things like that or just change up
your LIF like I said I was doing be hard
on yourself but when you want something
give yourself a little bit of it don't
give yourself too much one thing that
helped with my skin and losing weight
and just all around myself feeling
better was one gallon of water a day if
you grow 6 months with drinking a gallon
of water a day you're going
to you're going to be completely
different let me tell you some of the
benefits enhance physical performance
headache prevention improve brain
function skin health
and like bow movements and stuff like
that so it's going to cleanse you it's
going to it's going to give you more
energy to work out like are y'all
getting it now now me like changing bro
I keep changing my position like every 5
Seconds cuz I just cannot get
comfortable on this freaking chair but
one thing I did wrong in this entire
weight Journey was over complicating
things I be like oh I need this I need
this I need this oh no I can't right now
oh actually I'll start tomorrow like no
start now if if you want to lose weight
literally start right now don't be like
okay I'm going to start in the morning
my li I'm going L and this this tonight
and that's the last no you're not you're
not going to start tomorrow start now
literally start now please losing weight
is simple
diet working out and water don't drink
soda by the way cuz if you're drinking
soda you're
are you already lost me at this
conversation but something that really
did help was watching other people's
progress so I remember I have my on
taking for literally an entire month if
you're a OG OG you remember that but I
remember every night before bed I would
sit and literally watch my TV and watch
people lose weight it would be like
these little like compilations of before
and after people like just random people
like for like like 30 minute
compilations I was like I'm I'mma do
that like I'mma do that I watched it
every night to give me motivation and it
did I know this may sound bad for some
people but I did check my weight every
single day and let me tell you tell you
why it gives you a better understanding
of your body so I realized yes I do have
water weight but does that mean I really
weigh more no it's water weight or if
you remember towards the beginning of
the video I was talking about the rice
thing I realized that Rice was making me
not lose weight so when I cut down on
the rice I started my weight going lower
things like that so if you want to keep
a little keep in your notes or something
like that personally I wrote down on
paper cuz I didn't have my phone but
stuff like that calul it every single
day it'll help you understand your body
so much more and
I it made me more confident in my weight
if that makes sense because I saw
progress and I knew it was right for my
body now did I fast yes I did my 100%
recommendation don't eat breakfast and
I'm not I'm not telling you starve
yourself that is not at all what I'm
saying but have a eating window and
don't make it be breakfast because
breakfast you just woke up like you got
to
like you get what you get what I'm
saying you get what I'm cooking you get
what I'm cooking and a lot of times your
guys' breakfast food this like pancakes
or C don't eat cereal please like don't
don't don't do it to yourself bro so I
prefer having an 8 Hour eating window so
from 1: to 8: cuz I go to bed around
10:00 so you want to have an hour
because you want all your stuff to you
know get going so you can burn fat and
stuff like that also I'm going off the
questions I asked on my Instagram so
somebody asked was it easy no it was not
easy at all I it really I really
struggle but I knew that if I wanted to
achieve my goal I had to work for it
nothing comes easy so these are some
foods I cut out that I literally loved
cereal Hot Cheetos candy Mexican candy
and Oreos those were the things that
really just o every single day ruined me
so I need to cut out on those but here
are some things that I put in my diet
instead of those so protein apple cider
greens and fruit greens are going to
help you you know flush everything away
it's fiber and fruit when I wanted
something sweet I just you know had a
little fruit instead of a freaking piece
of cake protein like chicken you can
make your chicken or steak or whatever
any type of way or beef you can add hot
sauce and stuff like that you you can
just make it really good and always
drink at like one little cup apple cider
with each meal that's a big component in
everything that happened somebody asked
how do you know you need to
lose well let me just tell you if you're
not comfortable how you look in the
clothes that you wear that probably
means
that maybe you need to fix
something and do I mean that in a real
way no but I'm talking about
specifically for yourself no I cannot
speak for you but I can speak for myself
and that was a really show Big Show I
had I remember I would L wear fah high
with everything I wore tank tops with
jeans any dresses everything and is
there anything with wearing fahas no but
do you want to wear it every day in 120°
weather in Arizona no you know so
therefore obviously I stopped wearing
those and
now I can wear stuff like this without
feeling like all insecure so a lot of
you ask how do you lose stomach fat and
some people said Die Fat it all just
comes with losing weight is my stomach
completely flat no but is it 10 times
flatter than it was yes and does working
out help with that yes do I work out no
did people treat you different after you
lost weight in a way girls give me
dirtier looks but people are way nicer
than me so that's low keop plus I guess
but besides that I feel like people do
look at me differently if that Mak makes
sense like it it it's a really big
change but I don't know how to explain
it okay somebody asked how to lose face
fat so for reference this is my face
shape now as you can see I do have a
round face but if you can see in that
photo I have more of a double chin I
don't have a double chin anymore
so things I did that helped a little bit
so losing weight helped the mouse but
this this girly this girl you see her
see her boom
boom boom those are the Motions so I use
her every single morning and night and
also I do ice my face occasionally I
kind of like went a little off of it
since like I kind of got to like where I
wanted but when I was I would just I
would just like scroll through Tic Tac
at Tik Tok Tik Tok at night and just ice
it while I was doing yes it dripped all
over me but I prefer doing it like right
after the shower sitting in your towel
just like and you're good now I think
you can get those
on seen for probably $3 like it's or on
Amazon for like five like they're pretty
cheap and affordable what's a workout
that really helps honestly if you if you
run every single if you run a mile every
single day for a month you're probably
going to be down 30 lbs
like I personally I didn't run
but I did do cross country in my past
years and that just brought me to the
next level okay here's the little thing
about starving yourself do not starve
yourself please please please please cuz
if you starve yourself this is what's
going to happen you know you're going to
get to your your go away it's going to
be like whatever whatever and then
you're going to start going back to
eating what you want and when you start
eating what you want again you double it
so let's say you're in my position about
say
200 to 135 you're probably going to be
like 235 girl like 270 like so you don't
want to do that one last tip for this
video um only drink water don't drink
soda don't drink milk don't you can
drink green tea stuff like that but no
no soda okay can we can we promise that
if you're going to do that okay so
lastly I like to say it is okay how you
look you are beautiful no matter what
weight you are no matter what size you
are that does not define how pretty you
are but if you want to look different
and you want to achieve your goal start
now cuz saying that you're going to
start tomorrow or you're going to start
Monday that's for losers looking the way
you want is never going to be easy it
could it doesn't have to be way it could
be your hair it could be your skin it
could be anything you got to put that
work in just how you do your nightly
skincare routine you got to do your
daily routine for your body
but those that is everything y'all need
to know about losing weight and if you
have any more questions in the comments
or not in the comments just comment it
