The 18-year-old also shared the diet and workout routine that worked for her during this two-year period. According to her, she had cut out sugary drinks and processed snacks completely.<\/p>\n

Per day, she aimed to consume approximately 1,600 to 1,700 calories, and her protein intake target was at least 100g per day. She did not follow a specific diet plan and ate everything made at home, plus a protein source of her choice.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, for her workout routine, she followed the following plan:<\/p>\n
