Would love to see a what I eat in a day/week vlog for next Saturday, Hannah. Could you also please include your weekly workout routine too? You are looking so fit. Thank you! ❤
Agree!
Yes I’d love to see a what I eat in a day/ week & shopping list to help to implement these
@@alexandrajanee6149 Mee2!
She has loads of what i eat in a day/ week vlogs on her page 🥰
Thank you so much for this vlog. Full of great information.
I suffered from long Covid for about a year. My weight went up fitness was no existent. Long covid had damaged my lung capacity. In April 2023 I began my journey to better health. Started by walking. At first walking around the block was impossible. Started eating better I educated myself. I'm 85% Whole Foods Plant Based. I have lost 14 kilos and feel amazing ❤
I could not love this video any more!!!!! You explained everything excellently and with a wonderful awareness of how it’s very challenging for so many people. Well done Hannah 🤍🤍🤍
Hannah, I really needed to hear this - redefining healthy eating and lifestyle. It’s one of the biggest reasons I follow your channel! A heartfelt thanks for sharing xx
Love this video. I am following the same lifestyle for over 12 years and love it too. It's not always easy, especially with social life, but it's absolutely one of the best things I've done in my life.
Hannah. I really like your vlog and have been following you for about a year now. I appreciate you saying that you are not an expert but you are giving false information on the state of the dairy industry in this country. I think your research must be based on other countries because I know for a fact that any dairy with the slightest amount of antibiotic found in the milk upon collection by the tanker will be rejected and have to be discarded. All cows that are on antibiotics are milked as usual but they have a tape which indicates that the milk must not go into the tank. Organic cows are also treated with antibiotics if poorly and the same rule applies to them. Also growth hormones are not allowed to be used in the UK. I also research a lot into health and well being and so I can understand that a lot of what you are referencing is from data in the US which does not have as strict farming policy as we have in the UK. I hope you will take this comment in the spirit in which it is given as I rarely comment on anything I watch but I so enjoy your content and would not like it to be misleading.
Hey! Didn’t reference the dairy industry directly regarding that, chickens and antibiotics are an issue in the UK. You could be right because there’s lots of mixed information, unfortunately I’ve learnt that with the farming industry it’s always worse case scenario that seems to turn out true because the industry spends millions trying to cover up what goes on/manipulate the data :)
Regardless of whether this is true dairy contains hormones which directly affects our hormonal balance and creates an opioid response in our body (why would anyone give this to kids?) Absolutely nobody should consume dairy. Such a horrendous, exploitative industry, I struggle to understand anyone who can continue to consume dairy after fully understanding the total exploitation of the female reproductive system and disregard of the love between a mother and baby. I still think lots of people these days think that cows naturally produce milk all year around without producing offspring? If anyone reads this spare a thought to all those babies being carted away moments after birth, to never see there mum again, just so we can drink milk.
I’m only halfway through but I just want to say (gently) about the organic part for those worrying about eating organic, it’s not true that organic means pesticide free ☹️ there’s also been studies showing that there really isn’t much nutritional difference between organic and non organic foods. So please don’t stress if you can’t afford it! No hate towards Hannah though, I love her videos! 🥰 So excited to see you’ve done another one about nutrition I’ve missed them ❤
I really enjoyed watching this and am really grateful for you sharing your own personal opinions, experiences and honest thoughts, that are not ads or promoting anything at all, other than health!❤️
Thank you, you posted this at the perfect time. I was just speaking with my bf on how I haven’t been prioritizing my health and what I eat lately. Needed this reminder ❤
Absolutely loved this, so insightful and I appreciate the lack of bias you are showing!! Thanks Hannah 💖💖
It’s actually banned in the uk to use antibiotics prophylactically on farm and if an animal becomes unwell and needs antibiotics then withdrawal periods of antibiotics will be upheld before the animal can enter the food chain
Hannah, Thank you for uploading on a Saturday!
I really enjoyed this video, very informative and relayed in an easy to understand way x
Absolutely LOVED this video 🥰 always looking to further improve my health. Definitely show us how you prep and decide on meals for your upcoming weeks etc ❤
I love you, you always try your best to speak objectively and finding what is suitable for everyone and whenever you know you're advice is subjective you always give disclaimers, I just noticed this in your videos and it shows great responsibility and a level of humbleness to always encourage people to try and better understand themselves and their uniquely needs. I love you and I really love your videos and advice
Been waiting for this video! Thank you. Love to see what you eat in a week 🎉
I loved this video, your voice is so calm and you tackled all the topics you should have in the very best way possible. I also eat a plant base diet and i find it very hard to explain to people who don't the risks related to consuming animal products, but you did it very well.♡
Great video. However I think saying “tap water in the UK generally isn’t great” is a bit of a generalisation since it varies wildly around the UK. In Scotland it’s fantastic.
Hannah Adkins videos are amazing 🏆⭐️
This was the best vlog ever❤❤❤❤Thank you so so much Hannah🌸🙏🏻
I’ve been waiting for this type of video! Thank you so much. ❤
Thank you for being so thoughtful and kind and inclusive while talking about this!
Hannah! you are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing all you've learnt. Loving it all! Sue xxx
Thank you for taking the time to share this Hannah! I think it's important to remember that what works for one person might well not be the same for another. In my case for example, despite eating a wholefoods, mainly plant-based diet with over 40 different plants a week, regular supplementation, exercise and probiotic natural yogurt, kimchi/sauerkraut, I would still get cold after cold. What might have helped me is additonal vitamin C and magnesium, and daily kimchi or sauerkraut. Since adpoting these additional measures I've ony had one cold🙂I'd be interested in hearing about the cleaning and laundry products you use as I'm guessing that they'll be natural too. I do find that eco-friendly detergents are not as good at getting stains out and am wondering about eco laundry bleach for my white sheets. What about a 'clean with me' video?
That’s so interesting! Definitely so different based on the person for sure. Genetics too! I loveee the topic of nutrition it’s just fascinating
Thank you so much for this informative video. I am trying my best with nutrition, and because of you, I have completely changed my life. Hannah, it's so much fun to go to the organic store! :D It's incredibly important to be mindful of what we eat. xx
Fantastic information….thank you !
Looking forward to the next episode on meals and your fitness regime!!
Fantastic video, looking foward to more:) especially how simple you make your meals.😊
Loved this video❤ an idea for an upcoming video: could you share your haircare and skincare routines? You look amazing and are my role model ❤️
This was very interesting. My husband and I are heading into this journey and this was encouraging. Thank you.
Hi Hannah Thanks so much for taking the time to do this super informative video. I am currently reading the How Not to Die book you recently mentioned and its a real eye opener. So am hoping to move to a plant based diet in the future. You are inspiring and your videos each week are beautiful and inspiring so thank you.
I moved slowly at first and found that helped me 👍🏽
Enjoyed the Saturday vlog. Really enjoyed your topics. Thank you.
Wow absolutely love this, thank you ❤
I’m a London based nutritionist and I agree with all you’ve said 👌👏❤
Very informative Hannah thank you.x
Hi Hannah! I’m curious, does Kenny also eat a completely plant based diet? And if not, how do you manage that as a couple sharing the same kitchen, making meals together etc.?
Love this video. So interesting xx❤
Thank you for discussing your nutrition choices. I have asked several times about your protein because I want to go vegan but I have Osteoporosis and don’t want to damage my bones anymore than they already are… I have researched all of these things for years and my final piece of the puzzle has been protein. I had tried many kinds of shakes and just recently discovered hemp protein. It makes me feel validated in my choices by a lot of the same findings through my research that you mentioned. I am so happy!!!! I feel confident now that I am on the right track. I appreciate you Hannah 💕😊👍🏻
Thank you! Lots of thoughts in my mind now🤍
Loved this, thank you!
Such a great, informative video! I would love to see a what you eat in a week video. Would be awesome to have it as inspiration. Thanks for your amazing videos! ❤
Hi Hannah lovely vlog on a Saturday x❤
Thank you for this video! Loved it!
Could you please share more of what you eat and your grocery hauls?
Would love to watch it
Organic products are healthier however, here in the U.S., people don’t often realize that they are grown near non-organic produce that is getting sprayed with pesticides and most times that spray makes it’s way (thanks to wind and water run off and water saturation in soil) to the organic produce. I know many horticulturalists and environmental engineers who work with the government who have mentioned this. And I agree, whole Foods and plant based food are always better for you. On a different note, my husband was deployed for 7 months at a time (several times)…I sympathize with you being so far away from your partner. Hopefully you will be able to travel to see him soon (or vice Versa).
Thank you for such an informative video, I love it! I have been thinking about water, and I am considering Zero Water filters, a bit more expensive but I think they are the most researched ones at the moment.
Have a lovely weekend! ❤
Love this video, super valuable
A def yes on the Thailand vlog for me
This was great information. I'm a relatively new subscriber in Texas. I would love it if you would list some of the books you read dealing with a few of the subjects you talked about today.
This video was so helpful.
Hannah,
In your vlog, you mentioned that Tap water is not the healthiest in the United Kingdom. You also mentioned that people, who use Tap water should filter it in a water filter jug.
I respect your opinion about using a water filter jug to filter water from a tap.
But can you filter water from bathroom taps or a shower unit?
I think that Hannah, you still do use Tap water in the United Kingdom to shower or bath. It is unlikely that anyone filters their bathroom tap water.
If someone did decide to filter their bathroom tap water it would be very expensive and may affect the environment.
Great video Hannah. I’m not a health nut/environmentalist/vegan in fact I enjoy meat. However I believe like you say it should be organic, as much as possible and limited to a couple of days a week. I have 4 kids and it is a huge worry what I feed them so I try and feed them organic as much as possible. Especially broccoli and blueberries. There is such an increase in cancers in younger people compared to the past especially bowel/colon/intestinal types I believe it is the ultra processed foods, meats pumped with hormones and antibiotics, the rise in fast food and fizzy drinks and how almost everything we buy is stored in plastic. There will never be a major overhaul in any of these areas so it is up to ourselves to make the difference for us and our families health.
I love the idea of 80% wholefoods. Achievable, realistic and Will make a big difference to your health. Thank you
im in love with ur hair
Great Video!! as always :) LOVE YOUR SWEATER
Great educational post well done. 🎉 the next video should be what we wear as that comes from some of the bi products you mentioned and is just as important people know where their makeup, jumper, shoes or handbags come from are made of or are tested. Thank you 🙏🏻 🌱
thanks for sharing your useful tips!!! :)
Love the video i really find it difficult to know where to get good supplements from! x
I worked for a mineral water company, so I can answer your question about storage. All the water was stored in enormous metal tanks outside the factory, and all the pipework was metal, so no plastic involved. I still wouldn’t drink it regularly because of the environmental impact of all those bottles.
Tap water where I live is great, but when I lived in London it tasted awful.
That’s so interesting! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Thank you for sharing this with us all i agree our water isnt as good as we thought its better than some but needs improvement
Love this Hannah so interesting and i only eat chicken but really want to stop eating that too and have a plant based diet only .
Great video❤
I meant to ask you this on the last video. If you could please use larger print on the screen my eyes would greatly appreciate it. The white letters are also difficult to see as well. I'd have to watch it multiple times to see them all. I'm looking forward to checking out Holland and Barrett and the items you recommended.
I agree. It's the same on Instagram. So many influencers use tiny text. I have to screen shot and enlarge in order to read... x
Please can you film a what I eat in a week? Would love to see a variety and how you implement enough protein etc ☺️
I know that seeds and vegetable oils like sunflower seed oil, Grape seed oil are good for our healthcare because they Contain polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega class and they are the most important product that help our blood to reduce Cholesterol, they are also good for our immune system, for our skin and they are anti-radical. Obviously we have to see where they come from, how they are extracted because it will not be taken for granted, but they are important to assume.
Hi Hannah, I was wondering if you could do a workout routine? It would help me a lot! Thank you for this video beautiful 🫶🏼
Thx for the video. I do my own research, but interesting. As for bio: rule of thumb is (source: Prof. Tim Spector, if you can peel it, you don't have to buy bio). Never thought of it, but oats are best bought bio. When it is harvested, they add a lot of nasty's to let it dry quickly! Never knew! As for water: in Holland we have high standards of drinkability, so you can drink it from the tap! ❤
I’m a new follower. Love your content. I wish I had educated myself when I was your age around UPF. But I do think there is a lot more info and awareness out there now then there was in my day! 😂 I’m 51 and have tweaked my lifestyle and my family over the last 10 years. Better late than never! I’m really trying to cut out meat as organic meat is so expensive. But I do love fish and eggs. Thank you for simplifying it all in this post!
All of the science says it really is never too late at all for anyone! 🤍
Interesting video. Please can you post a make up routine - love your natural look 😍
Such an interesting topic and very timely as I think I am picking up the "eating healthily and naturally" vibes right now and would like to be more aware of what i put in my body. Please could you make a couple of recipes per week such as salads, health bars or whatever you have in your repetoire as I find its a mindfield otherwise. Thank you. I have learned today that avocado oil is better than seed oils snd thankfully I already use Olive oil so its great getting swap tips like this. You touched on milk earlier can you do so again and perhaps bread, spreads etc! Perhaps a weekly shop breakdown. Thanks Hannah. Looking forward so much to next week and beyond.
Yes agree totally ❤❤❤.
I too would like to see what you eat Hanna. Looking forward to next week. I just turned 70 and do alot of what you suggest. However, I am thinking of starting a completely vegan diet. My 60's were filled with health issues all unrelated. Thank you. This was very helpful. I look forward to buying the green powder you will have on your video next week. jannieo robinson
Your videos caused me to lose 30 lbs thank you soooo much🙏
That’s amazing! So happy for you!
Hi Hannah, I have only just subscribed to your channel having just discovered you and love your videos. I'm just catching up on every single one as they are all inspiring from health, fashion, skincare, travel, food, everything! Please can you let me know shich Maxmara coat you have in your January Cotswold vid. Thank you. ❤
What plant based yogurt do you eat?
Where is your necklace from xxx It’s beautiful x
Hannah as far as the magnesium helping with your sleep are you noticing this since using your watch that you got for christmas (that helps with sleep/steps etc - im sorry i could not remember the name of it - but are you seeing an improvement on it since using magnesium). i have a really hard time sleeping since my hysterectomy. i'm looking to go as natural as possible. melatonin doesn't help me at all either. im really strugging.
Have you read ultra processed people by Chris van Tulleken? I think it would be right up your alley. Great video!
Distilled water from megahomes was the best for me. When i tested my water (UK), it was 99.9% full of toxins/chemicals etc and after distilled it was 0.01%…. You wouldn’t believe the scum that is left behind, it’s like sludgy soft cement!
Just sits on my countertop and I put in on through the night. 😊
Could you recomend books in this topic? ❤
I would love to see your favorite plant based recipes. I dont LOVE animal products and could do without them because they just seem icky to me sometimes. However, I find them very satiating. As a person with ADHD I need protein and get very irritable if I don't have substantial meals over time. I don't eat tofu but beans & mushrooms have always been good meat replacements.
Interesting video
Where is your cardigan from xxx
Soy is one of the worst things for your health - organic or not, I met a lady working in a shop in Todmorden who had a large lump at the front of her neck she said her GP said this was because she was vegan and ate soy, it affects hormones, and women in soy eating countries get breast diseases because of eating it.
That’s been pretty much disproven now but everyone can believe what works for them :)
@@HannahAdkins It depends where you are reading your misinformation from to 'disprove' it, and what 'green' agenda they have to stop women eating meat - is it those who wrote last month in the media: UK scientists claim that "Vaping while pregnant is safe for both babies and mothers", as an agenda to stop women smoking cigarettes.
As you say, women should do what works for them though, I personally believe in natural products, including milk in glass bottles not plastic lined cartons.
In Ultra Processed People Chris Van Tulleken describes the process of making seed oils. It is absolutely revolting. How they break it down in to various components and bleach parts of it so it becomes flavourless and then put it all back together 🤢 his interest in this topic all started when his small daughter had a ball of pistacchio ice cream she left uneaten on a hot summers day and it didn’t melt…you’ll never eat Ben and Jerry’s again. I highly recommend it as a read for everyone.
Oh what a great way to enjoy my Saturday afternoon, what's your take on collagen supplements?.❤🇿🇦
can you show a close up of the lovely necklace Kenny gave you!
Would love to see this too! x
Love this! Thanks for posting! Haters gonna hate lol
My family is Arab so every olive season we pick olives and get it organically pressed. This way we secure olive oil until the next season… (couldn’t get more organic 🤣)
Interesting video, Hannah. I am actually trying some plant-based changes to my diet after watching your channel for a little while now.. I am also reading How Not to Die after you recommended it. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I think you make a lot of valid points ❤️
Can't wait to sit and watch this later!! How I have missed the Becoming Her series...so excited to hear your thoughts on nutrition etc
Am I the only one whose H&B discount code does not work? Great insightful video though, thank you!
I will message them tomorrow and find out! Il reply again once I hear back 🥰
I love this video Hannah, sharing your journey has inspired me as I know I want to do better with how I fuel my body. Thank you for the reminder on your H&B code. Would love to see a ‘what you eat in a week video’. Happy weekend!
this was so educational Hannah, thank you! especially when you mentioned the meat & fish info I hadn’t heard of farmed fish before so this is something I will keep an eye out for now 🖤 thank you for sharing your knowledge x
Almost all fish in the supermarket is farmed! If it says farmed or fishery that’s the same thing xx
Where is your cardigan from? ❤ Lovely video Hannah
❤
Love this! Could you do a similar video on the topic of exercise? There's sooo much information out there and I feel so torn and confused on what to do. For example, I like hiit workouts sometimes but now all you hear on it is that it's bad and will make you eat more etc
I wouldn’t have enough to say for a whole video but my personal experience is that low intensity cardio like lots of walking every day combined with Pilates is what works best for me 🥰
@@HannahAdkins Thank you!
With nutrition there's also soo much noise everywhere😅 I'd love to be vegan but then you hear of these people who had to start eating eggs and such again because of deficiencies etc. What are your thoughts on this?
HIIT workouts are great as long as you do them a few times during the week. I think the key is to combine different types of movement since intense long exercise can lead to chronic inflammation. So maybe you do some HIIT, some weight training and perhaps pilates/yoga/walking. Of course you will have rest days as well which are important for muscle recovery and growth. As women we definitely need to focus on weight training too though (of course I don't mean powerlifting or bodybuilding 😅 everything in moderation 🥰)
Really helpful video; even when you do have a “good” diet, it’s useful to sometimes see things like this and check in, think about what changes or improvements can be made etc. gentle reminders do wonders. Also very much enjoyed the Saturday morning video - nice to chill with a tea and breakfast before starting on with the weekend 😌
Just for context: Plant based does not equal vegan, it means that it focuses on foods from plants. Being Plant based you can also eat meat and fish but much less.
I’m pretty sure you’re wrong
🤣🤣 never heard anything like it
I read the "What is a plant-based diet and why should you try it?" article from the Harvard health blog
Meat and fish are 100% not plant based. The clue is in the title “PLANT”. X
@@stefaniegalea6810 it is not the meat or the fish that is plant-based. The diet is..if you simply google it you could see it yourself
Lots of sensible and useful information thank you. The research coming from respected voices in the field, such as Tim Spector and Chris Van Tulleken is mirrored here. Great episode and I particularly agree with immunity been made through a varied whole food and plant rich diet ❤
Thank you for making this - I went plant based about 7 years ago and haven’t looked back. I did it for health reasons and I’m not perfect with it but try my best ❤ ps: would’ve happily watched a 1.5 hour video listening to you 👍🏽
I really enjoyed watching this video, I couldn't agree more on the whole foods chapter! However, do you also take a vitamin B12 supplement because you haven't mentioned it and since I live vegan too I find vitamin B12 supplements very important. 💗
Yes i do! I realised I forgot to mention that x
Great advice thanks
Interesting vlog Hannah, might give magnesium a try, as want to improve my sleep.
Have a great week ❤
