A few weeks ago, I decided not to eat any more quarantine snacks and to start taking care of myself. It’s tough to do in times like these. Being unsure of things to come can cause so much stress.
It’s easy to mindlessly eat while watching TV to feel better. I made that change by joining Beachbody to get into shape and 2B Mindset to adjust my eating habits.
I have tried so many diets in the last 6 or so years, trying to lose weight. My hormones, however, with the onset of pre-menopause, made that task nearly impossible.
I finally found the answer… lifting weights with Lift4 on Beachbody along with the 2B Mindset Diet. The two of these programs are changing my body in ways I didn’t think possible.
I am now 4 weeks in, and I am losing the stubborn belly fat!! I was always a thin even even-framed person. In the last 6 years, my body has turned into an apple shape. I had a swollen, bloated belly that would not budge no matter what diet I tried.
The Lift4 Weight workouts have made my core stronger, and my belly is on its way out. I am so excited to say I am down 2 inches or 1 dress size so far. My belly is deflating!
What is 2B Mindset?
The 2B Mindset diet is very similar to Atkins or Keto, except you can have FFCs or fiber-filled carbs for energy. The concept is water first, veggies most, and protein and FFC’s minimal.
It is so easy because I love veggies, and you can have as many of those as you want. No counting calories or carbs. Just make the right choices for each meal.
The diet was designed by Llana Muhlstein for Beachbody. The great part is you do not need to join Beachbody to get on the 2B Mindset program. You can buy her book You can Drop It to get more details on how the diet works, recipes to get you started, and tips on how to manage your food intake. Ilana also has a great YouTube channel called Living With Ilana with lots of information and recipes.
After joining, and when you decide to try the 2B Mindset for weight loss. You will be able to view videos on how the diet works, along with special recipes and tips from Ilana herself every month.
There is a private Facebook group you can join for camaraderie and support. You will get a kit with a 2B Mindset water bottle to track your water intake, a meal-tracking journal, and a recipe book.
Quick 2B Mindset Stir Fry Recipes
Today I am sharing a round-up of my favorite 2B Mindset stir fry recipes that I have made so far. With the diets I tried before, all I ate was salads. Well, I ended up putting way too much dressing on it to make it taste good. With stir fry, you only have toasted sesame oil and low-sodium soy sauce. So I am able to get a great taste with few ingredients.
Toasted sesame oil is considered a Fat in this diet, so only use a teaspoon or less if you can. Low-sodium soy sauce is considered a Freebie in this diet, but you must still watch how much you use so you do not overdo it with salt intake. I usually use a teaspoon to a tablespoon, pouring it over the meat in the stir fry for taste. Less is more for both.
Here are some of my favorite stir fry recipes. Feel free to change out the veggies I used. As I make more, I will add them to this post, so make sure you pin it for future reference. Enjoy!

At the top it says all recipes use 1 tbsp of toasted sesame oil and 1tbsp soy sauce however within the recipes it calls for 1tsp of sesame oil so I’m just wondering which measurement it is.
Hi Kayla, I used 1 tsp of toasted sesame oil per recipe, but you can use more if you are making a lot of veggies. Then add the soy sauce after the veggies are cooked. I eyeball it mostly. I edited the post. I hope this helps.
Are these good to make the night before and heat up at work? Or will some of them be too soggy the next day?
Hi Katie,
Be careful and not to overcook the veggies like broccoli and meats like shrimp. Reheating them in a microwave may make the broccoli mushy and the shrimp too well done.

Stir fry meals are always a winner in our home and if they’re going to help me get rid of some of my ever-expanding passion handles, even better :D
Wow Kim, it’s impressive how far you’ve come. I guess there’s hope for me yet!
I have never heard if this diet, sounds interesting and the food looks good.
Great recipes. They look easy, delicious and nutritious.
Perfect timing for me as I’m in the same boat. I’m vegetarian and can incorporate lots of your veggie ideas and add beans!
Oh my gosh, I’m so hungry now! Everything looks so delicious. Your journey defiantly resonates with me. I am going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your new body.
