A fitness coach who claims to have shed 20lbs this year has revealed the high-protein food items she purchased from Aldi that aided her weight loss journey. Hawys D, a self-proclaimed 'muscle growth coach', shares diet and weight loss advice on Instagram under her @coaching_in_hd account.
Her 44,100 followers were captivated by one of her recent reels where she disclosed what she had been buying from Aldi to help her slim down. The video started with Hawys outside the supermarket, with overlay text reading: 'Aldi protein bangers I buy to drop 20lbs this year.' She then stated: 'I lost 20lbs this year eating high-protein, high-nutrient and in a calorie deficit.'
The fitness coach's first Aldi suggestion was dark chocolate – specifically a Moser Roth 70% cocoa bar. She informed followers: 'It's actually full of antioxidant and great for snipping your sweet cravings.' Next, she added some chipotle chilli wraps to her shopping cart, noting they contained less than 100 calories. 'They're great for packing with salad and protein,' she commented.
Third on her list was The Fingermonger's Tuna tins, as she selected the 'Soy and Ginger' flavour, as well as the 'Chilli and Garlic' and 'Lemon and Thyme' flavours. 'They are the perfect single serve and come in here spice little flavours,' she remarked. They're also only 99p so good for the wallet too. Finally, Hawys told fans: 'You know I love a pre-made salad. These Tandoori Chicken Buddha Bowl's are a little over 300 calories and have a decent whack of protein.'
Next, the fitness enthusiast was seen in the meat aisle, picking up some turkey mince, which she claimed has 'slightly more nutrients than chicken'. She also couldn't resist the chicken mince, which was on a 30% discount. Hawys didn't stop there with her meat selection, adding lean pork sausages to her trolley, each containing just 71 calories. She suggested they'd make a 'nice change for your weekend fry-up'.
Moving on to the fruit section, she picked up some 'wonky strawberries', praising their taste and noting they were 'only 100 calories per punnet'. In the vegetable aisle, she chose sweet potatoes for making air fryer fries, describing them as an 'excellent source of fibre and Vitamin A.' Turkish grains also made it into her trolley for some 'added protein and fibre', but she gave the sugar-free jelly a miss, arguing it would do 'naff all to fill you up'. She also passed on the protein pizza, suggesting you can make your own version with fewer calories and more protein.
