I've been posting daily on Instagram stories and I've received (literally) over 100 questions about Jane Plan, which is why I'm bringing you some Jane Plan FAQ's.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The Jane Plan four month plan costs £199 per month. You can use discount code 'HOLLYFIRST' at checkout to save £25 on your first month and the Jane Plan website regularly has time limited offers. (I don't make any £ from the discount code by the way!)
ARE YOU HUNGRY?
In the first week, I was hungry. I was used to eating large portions of carbs and processed foods, so getting used to having everything accounted for took some time. Within a week, I had adapted to it and can safely say that the only time I feel hungry is when I'm PMS'ing.
HOW MANY CALORIES DO YOU CONSUME DAILY?
If you solely eat the plan, you consume less than 1000 per day, however, it's recommended that you add fruit & veg to each meal so I always float around 1200. You'd be surprised how much veg you can eat for very little calories. I'm not a huge fruit lover so on occasion I'll have some watermelon or Pomegranate seeds. Aside from that though, I'm not too bothered.
WHAT DO YOU DRINK?
Prior to doing Jane Plan, Diet coke, white coffee with one sugar and a Disaronno with coke were my favorite indulgences. Now, I only have coffee with no sugar (or green tea! the Lidl's Peach one is beaut!), diet coke twice per week and NO disaronno. I instead have 3/4 vodka's with diet lemonade twice a month. I'm not a huge drinker so it's not something I feel like I need to 'sacrifice'.
ARE THERE SNACKS?
Yes! The plan comes with one snack per day for the month. I LOVE the bar of dark chocolate and the vanilla crunch biscuit. The Oatcakes with black pepper & toasted almonds are also beaut.
DO YOU HAVE A CHEAT DAY?
Saturday Fatter-day haha! On a Saturday, I have a jane plan breakfast (Granola), at lunch I have something semi-healthy (a chicken and roasted veg panini is my fave!) and dinner is my 'cheat'. Since I was little, my mom and dad prepare a buffet which has baked potato's, rolls and crisps etc so I have that. As soon as Sunday is here, I'm strictly back onto Jane Plan.
DO YOU DO EXERCISE?
For the first two weeks, my energy levels would rise and fall a lot. I went on a brisk 1.5 mile hilly walk on day 2 of my diet and really didn't feel good so kept exercising to a minimum for the first two weeks. After that, I incorporated more walks and generally getting outdoors more often. I also would challenge myself to do my walk a minute quicker on occasion to challenge myself. Using little wrist or ankle weights helps.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS?
throughout the week, I genuinely feel great. On a Saturday night/Sunday morning, my stomach is often not great. When you shrink your stomach and change the type of foods your body consumes, then when you have a cheat day where you go overboard it messes up my system. I have a nervous stomach in general so it doesn't take much to upset it. I'm combatting this by spreading out my food rather than eating all at once.
HOW QUICKLY DO YOU LOSE WEIGHT?
I lost 9lbs in the first week and it slowed down to a more stable average of 3lbs per week (some weeks I lost more, some weeks was less). I am really noticing a difference though. I feel so much more energetic and for the first time in my life, I feel genuinely proud of myself. I had someone on instagram send me a message saying I was 'cheating' by doing a meal delivery service but as far as I'm concerned, if I can make this journey easier on myself then why not? It's healthy, it's structured and it's what I needed. I am very kindly being gifted Jane Plan for as long as I need and I plan on using it as well as I possibly can.
