I lost four stone in four months mainly eating bargains from Aldi – here’s what I ate and bought to shift the weight
A WOMAN who lost a whopping four stone in four months has revealed the Aldi buys that helped her on her weight loss journey.
Lifting the lid on the hidden gems she’s come to rely on, TikTok user bodypostivefit said she couldn’t get enough of the bargains, as she explained how she incorporated them into her healthy eating regime.
The new video posted to her account, titled “Aldi essentials helped me on my four stone weight loss journey, gave a look around her local store, as she picked up the products from the aisles.
She said: “Hey TikTok, let me show you some of the key staples that helped me lose four stone in four months.”
First up, bodypositivefit hailed The Foodie Market’s Crunchy or Smooth peanut butter as a game changer.
She explained: “It’s a great source of protein and good fat.
“Put two tablespoons in your smoothies or on top of toast, or put it on corn crackers with some slices of bananas. Delicious!”
Next up was Aldi’s oats – a popular food item she said she “loved” and comes in three different sizes and costs as little as 75p.
Speaking about how she liked to serve them to aid her weight loss, the social media user continued: “If you want to up the protein like I do, add in some chia seeds, flax seeds, a tablespoon of peanut butter or half a scoop of whey protein.”
Moving on to what she regularly tucks into for lunch, bodypostivefit sang the praises of their Good Grains in a Spanish style and their wholegrain wild and red rice, and wholegrain and quinoa pouches.
She explained she uses them as a substantial but healthy salad base that she can build upon.
She said: “I would use a bag and put in some spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, and drizzle it with balsamic glaze.
“If you want to up the protein content, then you can add some cottage cheese, chicken breast or tofu or some mixed beans.”
Staying with the same category, she also said she put lots of beans into her diet – from chickpeas to simple baked beans.
Speaking about chickpeas, lentils and red kidney beans, she added: “Add these into your curries, bolognese – high in fibre, high in protein and the best bit about them is that they’re low in saturated fat.”
Her other hidden weight loss wonder products included mushrooms, unbreaded fish, reduced fat grated cheese, walnuts and seeds.
Elsewhere in the shop, she pointed out Quorn mince, which is “low in saturated fat but high in protein.”
The lady also said Aldi had her sweet tooth covered thanks to their own brand 80% dark chocolate that “didn’t stop her on her weight loss journey” as you can’t “overeat.”
She then went on to say that she also ate lots of greek yoghurt or Alpro yoghurt.
She continued: “I’d add a little bit of whey protein and a couple of almonds on top.”
