Im so glad this is working for you! This sounds so interesting for losing the bloating! Oh, by the way, where did you get your top with the thumbholes?
Ahhhh Lauren!!! I’m so glad to see you try this way of eating. I have also been a serial WW user for many years and have been moving more towards this style of eating and I’m loving this new content. I would love to see any what I eat in a day videos from you as well. Keep it up! 🫶🏻
I am a carb addict and people jump me about being strict. I told them you would not tell an cocaine addict to have a little cocaine in moderation or an alcoholic so if I tell you I am a carb addict why do you wanna derail me? I just had to get real. My hubby is on board. We are in our mid 40s with a non verbal 7yr old son who is autistic. We gotta get this under control. So with my faith in God and my strict focus I will conquer this obese beast!!!!
I do believe that every individual needs to find what works for them. Congrats on the first week and definitely can see the difference and most importantly you can see it and feel it. Thanks for sharing what is working for you! ❤
Great video,best of luck to you ( the struggle is definitely real 🤪)awesome on the side by side pic.. wow what a difference in one week, looks like this might be the way for you 🎉❤
I totally admire you & your weight loss journey as I’m also a sugar addict. It’s a true addiction & is a real problem I think. I’m on WW and lost 4 lbs in my first week ( water weight)I’ve been on the struggle bus a bit recently but I’ve been unwell so that’s why I think. Good luck flower, you got this.
Congrats on your progress!!! Yes, cutting out the ultra processed foods has made a huge difference for both my health and fat loss. That AND lifting weights💪❤ Can’t recommend that enough. Much love and support to you in 2025!!!!
Thank you for your wonderful videos! I have been up and down and more Recently up. I’m struggling and you explain things so well. You are someone I think a lot of us can relate to. I know I can. I am not happy with my weight and feel like I lose a few and gain back 15. Can’t wait to see your results and appreciate you being honest with us.
The holidays did me in too! I did WW for a year and was down to my goal in October and then November and December struck and I'm back to square one. I'm hoping to get back on track now starting with dry January!
I think you will be successful on this plan. Same thing happened to me with WW losing and gaining the same few pounds. Now I watch my carbs. Congratulations 🎉
I ❤ your candor…Ty for the inspiration! my brother and sister-in-law follow this way of eating and they have great success. They didn’t do it for weight loss, they just wanted to overall feel better but I have about 60 pounds to lose. Carnivore is way too strict and I love the idea of just eating one ingredient foods. 😊
@@erinpetersen3139 thank you for watching! it’s actually taken away a lot of meal planning stress keeping to simple meals from a select group of ingredients!
Hi Lauren- Best of luck with this phase of your WLJ. ( Take the -4lbs net loss for the year as a WIN! 👏) WOW what a difference in your face! Yay! After awhile, you might want to try a low carb natural sweetener like allulose and/or stevia blend? I find the blend very satisfying for those times when I want something sweet. Baked goods are what I want. I have found many enjoyable keto alternatives. (‘Kaizen’ lupin pasta & rice products are really good. They taste like whole wheat pasta. 😋 ‘Immi’ ramen noodles are fantastic. I watch for sales on Thrive market) Boiled Daikon radish work for boiled potatoes , but not for mashed or fried. The meals you’ve described sound so delicious, ‘Lemon Chicken soup’, I’ve got to try that! I’m so excited for you🥰. ❤❤❤
New subscriber- excited to watch your journey- 😊I’ve got to lose some weight that I’ve gained in the past few months. Best of luck to us both! Side note: have you considered a lapel microphone?
Congratulations on the new plan you decided to do. Since 2022, I have been dealing a medical problem from a previous back surgery procedure that caused this issue. I was diagnosed with this issue. I was put on medication for life due to my issues. I do need to lose weight too. I have decided to join a gym like planet fitness to help my issues. I will not mention what I have. I have been working with a physical therapist for a special therapy for my issues and trying different treatments to help with my issues. Two items that trigger my issues are milk chocolate and pop. This year I have decided to not drink any pop. See if that works. I enjoy pop and chocolate. I had chocolate all my childhood to adulthood. I want to fix this issue to be solved. I had to find a specialist doctor to help me with my problem. It’s all me. I need to change the ways I am eating.
Congratulations on a successful weesk 1! For lunch you could make a taco salad to change things up. Y9u could make taco meat with ground turkey or beef, or a combo of both. Can you eat deviled eggs?
Good morning Lauren happy Tuesday morning to you and I hope you having amazing day and you are amazing supporter happy new year to you and I hope that 2025 brings you a love and happiness
I've not finished watching yet, but let's blame this on Texas because I was there twice in November and I swear Texas makes me eat more 😭 With that being said, I think you're doing great and slow and steady wins the race 🏃 🏆
I am doing carnivore or ketovore till I heal my insulin resistance and get more insulin sensitive. Then slowly transition into animal based. I will be 45 in April and I had a hysterectomy little over yr ago and the hormones seem to do better lower carb. Hot flashes are the devil 😅 prayers for you. I'm down 343 to 315. Messed up few times since Oct 1st 2024. Now I am fat adapted so I am IF and keeping my calories in a deficit. Weigh in day is tomorrow hopefully down.
sounds like a really healthy way to eat. Of course portion control is important ( I have a problem with that!). I also would worry about the beef and inflammation ?? And high fat, cholesterol increases??
Lauren great job- I have followed you when you were weight watchers- so i am here for you girl-- also I can see a big difference in your face pictures! lastly- I like the Ultima electrolytes also-(sometimes all we hear is about LMNT-- but I do make my own- but if I buy them I like Ultima also like you do! Great job!
@@JillDecker-j9w no, the excessive bathroom breaks were just the first couple days losing water weight. It’s evened out pretty much back to normal now.
I'm right there with you, girl! Sugar addiction is real. I started lower carb to help reduce my fasting insulin and cravings. Read or listen to Food Junkies by Vera Tarman. It made sense of my life struggle with sugar.
How amazing! I can totally see the difference Lauren! So happy for you. I can’t wait to see after 30 days 🎉 Thank you for all the information and sharing your story. And Josh is just the best husband ever❤
Hope you find success this year 🎉 I am in the same boat as you lose & gain etc. but I had to have a real moment with myself and ask myself, am I putting in 100% effort? The answer was no and therefore I won’t see the results I’m hoping for. I’m giving WW a try again cause it was never the program for me, it was always me not tracking everything and taking days where I just eat whatever that made me stay stagnant. It’s so easy to over consume but the truth is we don’t need to treat ourselves everyday of the week! I’m loving the new updates to the program as well! 😊

Hi Lauren,I have been following you for a while.I always learn something new.😊
Awesome first week, thanks for sharing ❤️
Wow, congratulations on that six pound drop. You look great and thank you for sharing. It's interesting to hear about the animal based plan.

Hi, would you give me your homemade sour dough bread recipe? Do you make your own sourdough starter? Can you use a bread machine with your recipe?? ❤
That’s awesome! I tried Weight Watchers last year too, and it did not work at all for me.
sounds like a really healthy way to eat. Of course portion control is important ( I have a problem with that!). I also would worry about the beef and inflammation ?? And high fat, cholesterol increases??
Way to go
You are looking great. Such a difference in your face. Hope it works great for you!
You look great! FYI...DIET just means what you eat....not only for losing....people take that word out of context....

@@ILikeThisTube1 woo hoo! I sure hope so!
Yes, you can definitely tell in your face that you’ve lost weight; you’re looking good!
@@sandyerickson4214 thank you so much! All that water weight sure makes a difference
Feels very positive and you look great! Inspires me to cut out the sugar and spend my calories on something more satisfying
@@buniversum1110 that’s been very eye opening… my calories are the same but I’m way more satisfied with my meals!
Your skin is beautiful.
Why not just take a GLP-1?
Do you do electrolytes with all those bathroom trips.something to look into🤔
@@JillDecker-j9w no, the excessive bathroom breaks were just the first couple days losing water weight. It’s evened out pretty much back to normal now.
lol be careful you might hit “the wall” where meat just makes you sick but it will pass. The egg wall is real too haha!

Low carb that eliminates God-given veggies and fruits is ridiculous.
