About Me

Hi, my name is Cassey Ho and I'm a Pilates Instructor, healthy foodie freak, and the designer of oGorgeous Yoga Bags. You may have suffered through some of my POP Pilates workouts on YouTube.

Cassey's Favorite Things

ZERO CALORIE NOODLES: I love actually feeling full when I eat and these Miracle Noodles allow me to still enjoy pastas without the calories, gluten, and carbs. They're made of 97% water and 3% fiber (glucomannan).
CUTE WORKOUT CLOTHES: Been a fan of BEBE SPORT since high school.
EGG WHITES: A must-have source of high protein with very low cals. I never ever waste egg yolks, so I buy my pure liquid egg whites in tubs online from Egg Whites Intl. It's much cheaper than buying them at the store.
BOOTY SHORTS: My fave pair this month are from FitActivewear.

Why does fiber help you lose weight? 1. Fiber keeps you full for a longer period of time because it takes longer to digest so that you are less likely to snack before the next meal 2. Fiber rich foods are usually lower in calories than refined foods 3. Fiber acts like a sponge in your digestive tract absorbing some carbs, fat, and sugars 4. For every 1g of fiber ingested your body extracts 7 cals in your stool…this means that if you ate 35g of fiber a day you’d excrete 245 cals in your stool! 5. Double your fiber intake from 12 to 24g/day and you’ll cut your caloric absorption by 90 cals (according to the US Dept. of Agriculture’s study)…this means 9.4 lbs lost in a year for the avg. woman. This of course only applies if you REPLACE your refined foods for fiber-rich foods. You can’t just eat what you’re eating PLUS fibrous foods and expect a weight loss. You must swap.
