I'm gonna be moving in on a campus accommodation where I'm gonna have no kitchen or medium to cook food and no refrigerator either and i have to rely on the on campus food Solution : I can make snacking healthy by buying fruits that don't go bad easily and some nuts and granola mix for breakfasts
Obstacle: Attitude that eating healthy food and doing exercise is punishment for not looking super slim in the first place. Solution: Clear realisation that this is the case. Just bringing this attitude to the light will change things as it’s so clear that it’s not a nourishing one. Then gradually changing inner talk towards that “punished” part of you to a more nourishing and forgiving one.
My obstacle: I don't always meal prep for my days I am off of work. Solution: cook easy meals and prep beans/lentils/grains in large batches and freeze them for easier access.
I love how you never focus on weight loss, or get abs or whatever. Always getting healthier and more energetic. Love you Sadia, you are the best by far and your aesthetic is beautiful!
Seriously, what you are doing is amazing. You put out fantastic content, everything is neat and in order and I love it, your recipes are easy to make and your approach to diet and nutrition is a breath of fresh air, no fatphobia whatsoever. I hope you just keep growing and growing. And if you ever write a book or anything I'll be happy to pay for it. Much love
I recently found your channel and I am so grateful, the information and delivery is amazing! Thank you 😊 I am always striving to be more healthy and with age I am struggling to find time and energy and it has become vicious circle!
You've stated it perfectly! I wish it was possible to invest in youtube channels, cause I started following her when the channel was super small and knew it's gonna turn big. Sadia, you're content and personality really shines through. Wishing you all the best.
I agree with you completely. I've been on a health and wellness journey for the past 4 years, with a couple times where I "fell off the wagon." I love how peaceful and realistic this channel is! I feel motivated and inspired rather than feeling guilty or ashamed (like I do after some other channels or sites).
Anna annanymous there’s nothing wrong with losing weight if it’s medically necessary but such an emphasis on weight is leading to more and more people having a messed up relationship with their bodies (hating them, revolving their worth around their body and looks, etc) and with food (punishing themselves with starvation, hating food, etc) and that also leads to eating disorders, disordered eating patterns, and just terrible mental health. so finding goals other than losing weight is very beneficial for a lot of people like me, someone who’s in recovery from an eating disorder that almost killed me.
Anna annanymous lower weights don’t immediately indicate health or being healthier than someone at a higher weigh. Put two people with a higher and lower weight next to each other and guess what? you can’t assume the one with a lower weight is healthier. the person with a lower weight could be anorexic, have thyroid issues, have any medical disorder that would keep them at a lower weight. Of course, morbidly obese people and super underweight people are not going to be healthy, but that’s because they’re extremes. as long as you’re exercising, eating well, and doing well, and you’re medically sound, weight doesn’t matter.
@Anna annanymous Suprised to see such a hateful message on this channel. You may be right that way too many people are overweight and it's causing trouble. However, how do you think you're helping with the way you communicate? I myself lost around 20 kg, but I could only do so out of a place of love and respect, or I would have never broken the binging cycle and would probably still hate myself today, even at my "ideal" weight, because I wouldn't have stopped the negative thinking pattern. Most people aren't lazy. Life is complex, creating new habits is hard, and highly palatable food can be addicting and hard to get away from. If you really wanted to be helpful, you'd be sharing resources like James' Clear "Atomic Habits" and encouraging people. But you seem to be here to blow off steam and verbally spit people in the face. Is this how you would talk to a friend? Think about the person behind the screen.
You don’t make non-vegan eaters feel bad about themselves. I’m slowly transitioning to vegetarian then vegan. Your videos are so inspiring and calm and YOU are the vegan spokesperson people should follow. Your tips are so easy to follow and you make me motivated. I appreciate how you make your videos and all the work you do. 😊
Alexya way more subs than over 1 and a half million? I always thought it was fishy that she almost immediately had that many subscribers as soon as she started her channel. All the other similar channels which I think are just as good have about 150,000 at the most. I’ve always been puzzled. I’ve heard you can buy subscribers.
patty 8873 Just my opinion. I think her content is qualitative and her recipes very thought out. Plus she doesn’t make intros of talking for nothing and goes straight to the point. Her voice is calming, she’s simple in the way she talks and does things and that’s what I enjoy about her and her videos. I’ve already seen plenty of channels with the same type of content and did not find them as light and elegant as Sadia’s.
@@patty-cf7jj I just found her a little bit ago because my home page suggested her and with such lovely photography I watched then immediately fell in love with her soothing voice and easy going style... Could've happened thousands of times over? I also shared her channel with several people. I understand that people can "buy" subscribers but I doubt this is the case here...
I started my healthy eating journey two months ago after hitting my highest weight - and today I'm 10lbs down and feeling amazing and full of energy. Your videos taught me so much about healthy eating and motivated me to treat my body right, you're an inspiration!
Was just talking to my coworkers this afternoon about how to kick a sugar habit...the WHY question and framing it positively is so key! thanks for sharing your wisdom with us, Sadia!
Your video is so down to earth. I always made the excuse that I couldnt eat healthy because I dont have a real income (college student) and that I dont have time (classes + studying = a tired student). Applying your researching method, I found more affordable and healthier grocery chains in my city. Aldi and Lidl legit cut off 20-30 dollars off my normal bill at Walmart or Kroger. That being said I have been able to incorporate so many things I never would have. I eat SALAD everyday now. I make homestyle pizza (with Naan and lots of veggies). I have an addiction to butternut squash soup. Now I'm not Vegan/vegetarian, but I'm surprised with how much less meat I'm eating now (especially red meats). I know that's not a goal for everybody but I have an appreciation for meats now because it's not the main component of every meal. I wish I had seen this video earlier to get ahead of the game. But I'm super content with Sadia and love her positivity. Anything is really doable and she confirmed my suspicions. It's not easy at first and I made alot of mistakes, but that's how we learn and make better choices! Loved this video!!!
I just want to thank you for this motivation. For me it is much less about the over eating and the eating of non-healthy items, but instead is just about eating in general. Most days I don't have the motivation or energy needed to make myself food and I get discouraged when I feel like I can't do it perfectly. Thank you so so so much for how calmly and warmly you give the invitation to eat healthy! So many times videos about taking care of yourself can seem like more work, or more lessons to learn instead of simplifying the process. With yours I left feeling encouraged and more peaceful about trying to eat healthy. You rock girl!
I really appreciate your comment on avoiding weighing and counting calories. I'm in recovery from an eating disorder and love that you promote intuitive eating in a wholesome way. Food is suppose to be yummy and fun not restrictive and stressful.
It’s like you knew I needed this! Obstacle: not cooking and eating out because the kitchen is a mess. Solution- decluttering and having a clean house each night before bed! Thanks for the great video Sadia!
Your timing is always magic. 1 obstacle for me is overeating at night because I put off eating dinner till late, so I have something light and snack...Then the snacking doesn't stop! So I am currently working on cooking healthy filling meals BEFORE I am hungry (I am a frequent hangry cook) and having my dinner a little earlier so I am still feeling full (but not stuffed) by the time I go to sleep. It's been almost creating a meal prep schedule for myself! When I have my meals at certain times, I seek that my pesky overeating habits never take place!
All of these videos of yours are being a HUGE help. Whenever I feel like falling into horrible eating habits I watch a quick vid of yours and become re-motivated. Please don’t stop I am in the transitioning stage really only about a week in but I’m doing good. I am trying to do my best for my children and all of your videos are very helpful and very informative
I love how you make everything so simple and don’t take things too seriously. I especially love the 50% of your goals tip. I’ve recently had a lot of fitness success and I believe a lot of that is due to me just doing my best that I can do at that time, and just trying again the next day if I fail. So I was following a lot of your tips just from intuition. You definitely nailed “how to be a normal human and still work on health improvements”. ❤️
Seriously this is one of the best videos I've seen so far on this topic. Your tips are all thoughtfull and wholesome and, most importantly, close to reality. I needed so many years to figure out why the usual tips like "track your calories, surround yourself with fruits" didn't work for me. My inner perfectionist was blocking me the entire time because I thought it's only gonna be useful if I eat healthy every day every meal, and of course I couldn't do this from the start. Now I have the mindset that every healthy meal is a win, and I've become waaaay better at keeping up. Also, on a side note, your videos are full of soft encouragement and honestly this motivates me so much more than the guilt trips other books and videos had put me trough. Thank you so much for all of this!
Very timely video. Currently studying for the PT licensing exam and have been drinking tons of coffee/eating conveniently more and more as the days go by. Appreciate the advice about meal prepping and tracking progress! Love your videos 😊
Like your many hundreds of followers I just love your vlogs! They are informative, beautiful to watch, peaceful and so generous! I learn a lot, even at 70. Millions of thanks to you for the precious gift!
You're truly one of the best nutritionists and youtubers I've ever seen. Your videos always cheer me up and inspire me to make better choices with food, both for my physical health and my mental health: I love how you never focus on calories or on changing your body, but on feeling better. Seriously, never stop inspiring people like you do
Honestly Sadia, you have come into my life unexpectedly but managed to help me change it step by step so kindly and gently. Thank you for this and many other videos that you have made that helped me on my journey to better health and life ❤
Hey Sadia, I´ve struggled with multiple eating disorders and i have always felt bad about what i eat wether it is too big of a portion or just fattening. but you changed my whole mindset about food, It should not be about losing weight or being skinny or anything obsessive and toxic like that it should always be about living well, being wholesome and feeling good. I will never be able to thank you enough
oh my god Limey! i know it'll annoy you to hear this cos you are not about perfection....but girl, you are so damn perfect!! Your hair, your smile, your skin, your style, your house, your kitchen, your pots n pans, your placemats, your music, your drapey plant curtains, your backpack, GEEEZ, EVERYthing about you in these videos is beautiful or wonderful or inspiring! Like, i cant believe i didnt even pffft or spit my tea when i heard you say "teamwork makes the dream work!" :) So WOW & ThankYou for all the effort & hours it must take you & yours to create these dream-like videos. In the very LEAST, you are motivating me to stop eating the same damn oatmeal with berries, same damn crackers with hummus, and same damn spudmash with edamame for EVERY damn meal, EVERY DAMN DAY just because im lazy and lost, or got the "couldntbebothereds." You really are helping make a profound difference in peoples lives, sharing your skills and knowledge wrapped in positivity and presented in such a warm friendly manner.
I have a lot of what I call “kitchen anxiety.” Because of the environment in the kitchen when I was growing up, I’m afraid to explore and make mistakes. Your videos are so calming, peaceful, and beautiful that I feel like I can make these recipes and I can overcome this kitchen anxiety.
I love what you do. Your an amazing person that is trying to help people you don't even know. You decide to share your healthy life style with the intention of helping other people live a healthier life style. Watching your videos have helped me change the way I eat. I feel better and I don't have to take meds anymore. And I'm trying to get my kids motivated to eat healthier. I hope I succeed. Thankyou so much for your videos. 😍😘🥰
2:17 Roadblock: perfectionism. I all too often allow my OCD to get in the way. I am too hard on myself & stress myself and my partner. The more yoga I practice, the more I learn to breathe & let go. Enjoy the process and stop stressing the little details that will probably mean nothing in the end anyway 😊🕉
I agree with everything. I tend to feel frustrated if I am not able to accomplish my set targets. And as a result I quit them altogether. Consistency is more important than perfection. Thankyou for helping us make a difference in our lives.
Great timing on this video! I’ve completely fell off the healthy eating bandwagon for over a year now and I’ve been trying to get back on! I needed this. Thank you! (FYI, your yogurt breakfast bars are SO GOOD!! 🤤)
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I’m slowly transitioning to becoming a vegetarian, and finding a method that helps me be much more healthy eater, while enjoying cooking again is my goal.
Hey Sadia, I don't know whether you will read this or not(since it has been three days ) .Just want to tell that you have been a real positive influence on my life. Whenever i see your smiling face I am just relieved of the tensions i have to face. You have been instrumental in changing in many of habits.Iam less grumpy now. I let things happen. Iam more organised.I am more responsible.May be you are the messenger God sent for me. Though I hate word 'I' but have to use it here to tell you the habits improved by me. I just want to THANK YOU from the deepest core of my heart. I have never done this since i hardly share my feelings except very few people. Thank you . Wishing you all the good in the world. :)))))))
I just want to say thank you for caring so much about all of us, giving us tools to live a healthier life. Which will improve all aspects of our life. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 Sending so much love to all of you..
I love how positive all the Pick Up Limes videos are. I’ve been working this past year to have a healthy relationship with food and I have to attribute some of my progress to the impact this channel has had on my life. I’m so happy and grateful that there are people out there like you!
Thank you so much! I needed this, been eating crap for weeks now and I'm not feeling better on my not-so-healthy-diet 😣 I love your videos, they are so inspiring and motivating! Keep up the good work ✌
This video was timely because I have reached a plateau during my healthy journey and I feel so frustrated and upset with myself because my old habits are creeping back in. Watching this gave me a boost of motivation to get back and start again! 😊
This was perfect timing for me. You honestly make the most amazing videos. I always feel so encouraged when watching one of them. You have a calm and kind way of getting your point across. Your editing and foods are always done so beautifully. Thank you so much for creating such mind and body-changing content.
I don’t often comment but I have been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now and I have to say, I love them. Super helpful content in a kindly and benevolent manner. You truly are an inspiration! Thank you for all of your hard work! Lots of love ☺️
I know you made an e-book but if you made a recipe book with every single recipe you ever made, I would buy it in an instant. I am fairly new to the vegan world and to your channel, and you are both inspiring, educational and organized, which I love. I would really love for you to make a recipe book!
A perfect way to wake up with one of your videos! You’re such a great source inspiration for me. I love your videos and your recipes because you present really healthy and quick meal ideas which can be easily incorporated in my daily life. In my opinion having no time for a healthy meal is no option because the time can always be found. We spend hours in front of social media checking other people’s life instead of focusing on what really matters. It’s a question of priority in life.
Thank you Sadia and PUL team!! You make my life and thousands others better!! What you aim, do and achieve is extremely vital, please never stop. Hope you know how much we are grateful for all the hard work, love and research you put in everything you present. So much love from Egypt xx
This was such a perfectly timed and communicated message to hear. As someone in recovery, your emphasis on health and positive outlook regarding food as well as the mental and social aspects, always gives me cause to stop and be patient with myself,be mindful of the choices around me and remember my support systems. As you say, Teamwork makes the dream work. Thanks for this vid✅🤗💚
When you want to go to sleep but your favourite youtuber uploads a new video haha :') totally worth staying up for it tho. An amazing video as always with some very good advice. I love how you keep everyone motivated and positive, thanks for the beautiful content :) lots of love from Germany and good night! ✨
I really enjoy that you are combining nutrition with other life skills and advice. So often we become focused on only one category of our lives and try to heal or perfect it without the consideration of ourselves as a whole and complex being. I agree, the tendency to focus on numbers on a scale or caloric intake can be very dangerous or at least derailing of our goals for obtaining optimal health.
Good motivational speaker to people like me who always depend on mom's cooking..and thinking cooking is crossing a big mountain but ur recipes and speeches are very interesting, the way I want to have it my rest of my life.
Since I've started watching your videos, I'll often find myself thinking, "Sadia would be proud of me for eating/making/doing this!" Thank you for being a constant source of positivity and inspiration 😊
I’m so glad I came across your channel! Videos are so well done and relaxing to watch. Trying my first recipe from your blog tonight and I can’t wait! Def motivating me to try eating more plant based :) thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge
Sadia you are incredibly inspiring. I am very grateful for your channel and your motivation to help others in their health journey, and every time I watch a clip from your studio or house or being out in nature, I can't help but feel motivated to put more effort into life. I'm not a complete couch potato, but I do get discouraged super easily. Your channel is one of only a few that help me to stay balanced on the tightrope of life. Thank you.
Super helpful ! I find that my motivation often comes in waves, like there are times when all I want to eat is fresh fruits and vegs + work out like crazy and there are times where all I want to eat is junk food and do nothing. These periods don't last long as my body eventually starts wanting something healthier (that's why I'm ok with listening to my cravings for a little while) but I just wish I could find more of a balance and not be so extreme all the time. Your channel is a great help !
I love the creators of this channel! Just discovered you guys and hands down this video hits every mark and excuse that I've been making for myself as to why I am not eating healthy (ie. too expensive, no time, etc). Thank you for providing such an in depth pdf for us and showcasing our struggles in a way that allows us to realize it ourselves and to instead focus our time and energy on the positive changes we can bring into our own lives. By mentioning the problems and offering tons of solutions really allows us viewers to take the advice to heart. Love the thought, quality, and time everyone has put into making this video!
My one year Vegan Lifestyle anniversary. 06/18/18 is near. I've had my ups and downs. "mostly ups" ☺ Thank you Ms. Sadia Obstacle - Never quite feeling satisfied. Solution - Adding a little more Salad-Fruits-Grains to the meal. The BIG obstacle Wine/Alcohol triggers the Pre-Vegan (me)
Seriously struggling to find motivation for some of my hobbies. Specifically the violin. This advice sounds super to try and get myself back on the motivation train!
i run across so many health conscious videos" and all of them are so uninteresting i notice i never really find what im looking for... i just so happen to come across your videos and i must say i love them all this is what ive been looking for something with knowledge and inspiration" and your voice is so soothing to the soul" I had to (subscribe) good job queen keep up the good work! i have learned so much and will be putting it to use.
You can tell you eat healthy because your skin looks so nice and your hair is thick and shiny! My hair had improved so much, in fact I would say it's transformed since I starting eating a healthy diet. It's true what they say, you are what you eat.x 😄
I absolutely applaud the pain and time you take to make this videos...you must do a Ted talk...love you...Pls keep going...and making such videos..and helping people...love and respect
Obstacle: loss of motivation to meal prep Solution: eating out, but choosing the veggie or vegan option, and choosing veggies as a side instead of fried sides. I'm hoping to get back into it after I download your PDF though! Thanks for sharing these amazing tips!
After giving birth to my baby and having left 5 months for my body to recover on its own, this video can not come at a better time! thanks for making it so easy!
I recently found your channel and I have been loving your style. I am not vegan, but I am hoping to become more plant-based. I have some health issues and weight problems and my doctor told me to cut meat and dairy out of my diet. I love how you don't judge and have an open mind. Your whole approach, is awesome and I am so glad that I found your channel and will be using a lot of your recipes and taking your advice on nutrition. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making some unbelievable content!
This video couldn't be more on time! Three years ago I was in my best shape ever; I was eating plant based and running 6 miles a day... then my mother died and all hell broke lose. The grief and pain made me loose all care... and I ballooned up to 214 pounds. I am now back trying to regain my health, slowly going back to plant based and I am running 1.50 miles a day, but sometimes I need some reinforcement... thank you for your support and advice.
Wow, this video is so amazing!! I already gained a relatively balanced attitude towards healthy eating through your videos because you sometimes dropped advice concerning the motivation. But this video just nailed it!! I really can see that you must have been so good at your old job but now you managed to abstract what you learned so that everyone here on UA-cam can profit without you knowing us all. You have amazing recipes but you also acknowledge that it's a lot about the hows and whys - that's so valuable. I can't believe how much I grow through your videos even though it's mostly just about the food topic. Such a big thank you ❤
Your approach is pitch perfect! You empower and inspire while you show us the way to enjoy eating fresh, nutritious, delicious food. I applaud you and I appreciate your work!
📲 Our Pick Up Limes app is finally here (1-week free trial!): bit.ly/PUL_app 🎉
Let’s share ideas: give me 1 obstacle + 1 solution 🤓
I'm gonna be moving in on a campus accommodation where I'm gonna have no kitchen or medium to cook food and no refrigerator either and i have to rely on the on campus food
Solution : I can make snacking healthy by buying fruits that don't go bad easily and some nuts and granola mix for breakfasts
you are very good blogger keep up the good work , God bless you and your family
Obstacle: Attitude that eating healthy food and doing exercise is punishment for not looking super slim in the first place.
Solution: Clear realisation that this is the case. Just bringing this attitude to the light will change things as it’s so clear that it’s not a nourishing one. Then gradually changing inner talk towards that “punished” part of you to a more nourishing and forgiving one.
I am a beginner cook
Solution: start with easier recipes and not be afraid to try new things!
My obstacle: I don't always meal prep for my days I am off of work. Solution: cook easy meals and prep beans/lentils/grains in large batches and freeze them for easier access.
I love how you never focus on weight loss, or get abs or whatever. Always getting healthier and more energetic. Love you Sadia, you are the best by far and your aesthetic is beautiful!
I was going to say the same thing! Well said! And love your work, Sadia.
Yes! Agree!
Michelle Vallejo being overweight is never close to being healthy
@@mikebelmont5919 regardless, shaming has been shown not to encourage sustainable positive changes - rather the opposite.

You put out fantastic content, everything is neat and in order and I love it, your recipes are easy to make and your approach to diet and nutrition is a breath of fresh air, no fatphobia whatsoever.

Your content is wonderful
Anna annanymous there’s nothing wrong with losing weight if it’s medically necessary but such an emphasis on weight is leading to more and more people having a messed up relationship with their bodies (hating them, revolving their worth around their body and looks, etc) and with food (punishing themselves with starvation, hating food, etc) and that also leads to eating disorders, disordered eating patterns, and just terrible mental health. so finding goals other than losing weight is very beneficial for a lot of people like me, someone who’s in recovery from an eating disorder that almost killed me.
@Anna annanymous no such thing as "good" or "bad" weight, it changes depends on the person and the environment.
Anna annanymous lower weights don’t immediately indicate health or being healthier than someone at a higher weigh. Put two people with a higher and lower weight next to each other and guess what? you can’t assume the one with a lower weight is healthier. the person with a lower weight could be anorexic, have thyroid issues, have any medical disorder that would keep them at a lower weight.

I really appreciate your comment on avoiding weighing and counting calories. I'm in recovery from an eating disorder and love that you promote intuitive eating in a wholesome way. Food is suppose to be yummy and fun not restrictive and stressful.
Literally what I needed right now. Your videos are blessings from the Universe, keep it up!!
Hi, I am a 68 year old grandma of 12. I love trying out your recipes on my grandchildren. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. You are a joy to watch.
It’s like you knew I needed this! Obstacle: not cooking and eating out because the kitchen is a mess. Solution- decluttering and having a clean house each night before bed! Thanks for the great video Sadia!
Oh love this one, Sara - it's definitely something we try to practice each night as well, and it makes a huge difference❤
Your timing is always magic. 1 obstacle for me is overeating at night because I put off eating dinner till late, so I have something light and snack...Then the snacking doesn't stop! So I am currently working on cooking healthy filling meals BEFORE I am hungry (I am a frequent hangry cook) and having my dinner a little earlier so I am still feeling full (but not stuffed) by the time I go to sleep. It's been almost creating a meal prep schedule for myself! When I have my meals at certain times, I seek that my pesky overeating habits never take place!
Your home & background & channel is so ZEN 🧘🏽♀️ love love love your channel!
All of these videos of yours are being a HUGE help. Whenever I feel like falling into horrible eating habits I watch a quick vid of yours and become re-motivated. Please don’t stop I am in the transitioning stage really only about a week in but I’m doing good. I am trying to do my best for my children and all of your videos are very helpful and very informative
This is the CUTEST thumbnail! Amazing video Sadia 🦋
I love how you make everything so simple and don’t take things too seriously. I especially love the 50% of your goals tip. I’ve recently had a lot of fitness success and I believe a lot of that is due to me just doing my best that I can do at that time, and just trying again the next day if I fail. So I was following a lot of your tips just from intuition. You definitely nailed “how to be a normal human and still work on health improvements”. ❤️
It’s not often that I find a video (and comment thread) that is so uplifting and inspiring. Thank you 💚
Seriously this is one of the best videos I've seen so far on this topic. Your tips are all thoughtfull and wholesome and, most importantly, close to reality. I needed so many years to figure out why the usual tips like "track your calories, surround yourself with fruits" didn't work for me. My inner perfectionist was blocking me the entire time because I thought it's only gonna be useful if I eat healthy every day every meal, and of course I couldn't do this from the start. Now I have the mindset that every healthy meal is a win, and I've become waaaay better at keeping up.
Also, on a side note, your videos are full of soft encouragement and honestly this motivates me so much more than the guilt trips other books and videos had put me trough. Thank you so much for all of this!
Very timely video. Currently studying for the PT licensing exam and have been drinking tons of coffee/eating conveniently more and more as the days go by. Appreciate the advice about meal prepping and tracking progress! Love your videos 😊
Like your many hundreds of followers I just love your vlogs! They are informative, beautiful to watch, peaceful and so generous! I learn a lot, even at 70. Millions of thanks to you for the precious gift!
You are one of whys; love the way you are motivating us and being positive. God bless you!
You're truly one of the best nutritionists and youtubers I've ever seen. Your videos always cheer me up and inspire me to make better choices with food, both for my physical health and my mental health: I love how you never focus on calories or on changing your body, but on feeling better. Seriously, never stop inspiring people like you do
A visual feast..I just don't have words to explain and every word makes so much sense
Honestly Sadia, you have come into my life unexpectedly but managed to help me change it step by step so kindly and gently. Thank you for this and many other videos that you have made that helped me on my journey to better health and life ❤
That black utility dress is amazing, sorry for being off topic 😅
Hey Sadia, I´ve struggled with multiple eating disorders and i have always felt bad about what i eat wether it is too big of a portion or just fattening. but you changed my whole mindset about food, It should not be about losing weight or being skinny or anything obsessive and toxic like that it should always be about living well, being wholesome and feeling good. I will never be able to thank you enough
Ditto! That used to be me too. When you focus on nourishment and health, it changes everything!
Would you believe that I did a search this morning on this exact topic? Talk about perfect timing. Thank you so much 😊
oh my god Limey! i know it'll annoy you to hear this cos you are not about perfection....but girl, you are so damn perfect!! Your hair, your smile, your skin, your style, your house, your kitchen, your pots n pans, your placemats, your music, your drapey plant curtains, your backpack, GEEEZ, EVERYthing about you in these videos is beautiful or wonderful or inspiring! Like, i cant believe i didnt even pffft or spit my tea when i heard you say "teamwork makes the dream work!" :) So WOW & ThankYou for all the effort & hours it must take you & yours to create these dream-like videos. In the very LEAST, you are motivating me to stop eating the same damn oatmeal with berries, same damn crackers with hummus, and same damn spudmash with edamame for EVERY damn meal, EVERY DAMN DAY just because im lazy and lost, or got the "couldntbebothereds." You really are helping make a profound difference in peoples lives, sharing your skills and knowledge wrapped in positivity and presented in such a warm friendly manner.
Yes! The "Why Power" and the importance of writing it down! Thank you for the reminder Sadia. ❤💐
I have a lot of what I call “kitchen anxiety.” Because of the environment in the kitchen when I was growing up, I’m afraid to explore and make mistakes. Your videos are so calming, peaceful, and beautiful that I feel like I can make these recipes and I can overcome this kitchen anxiety.
Thank you for reminding me about small wins and explaining the dopamine rush they arouse. Beautiful video!
I love what you do. Your an amazing person that is trying to help people you don't even know. You decide to share your healthy life style with the intention of helping other people live a healthier life style. Watching your videos have helped me change the way I eat. I feel better and I don't have to take meds anymore. And I'm trying to get my kids motivated to eat healthier. I hope I succeed. Thankyou so much for your videos. 😍😘🥰
2:17 Roadblock: perfectionism. I all too often allow my OCD to get in the way. I am too hard on myself & stress myself and my partner. The more yoga I practice, the more I learn to breathe & let go. Enjoy the process and stop stressing the little details that will probably mean nothing in the end anyway 😊🕉
I agree with everything. I tend to feel frustrated if I am not able to accomplish my set targets. And as a result I quit them altogether. Consistency is more important than perfection. Thankyou for helping us make a difference in our lives.
Great timing on this video! I’ve completely fell off the healthy eating bandwagon for over a year now and I’ve been trying to get back on! I needed this. Thank you! (FYI, your yogurt breakfast bars are SO GOOD!! 🤤)
Yay - so glad you've enjoyed them :D
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I’m slowly transitioning to becoming a vegetarian, and finding a method that helps me be much more healthy eater, while enjoying cooking again is my goal.
In the middle of writing my bachelor thesis 🙈
I SO needed this, thank you, Sadia ❤
You got this! :) 👊
@@emalinel thank yooouu 😍
Hey Sadia, I don't know whether you will read this or not(since it has been three days ) .Just want to tell that you have been a real positive influence on my life. Whenever i see your smiling face I am just relieved of the tensions i have to face.
You have been instrumental in changing in many of habits.Iam less grumpy now. I let things happen. Iam more organised.I am more responsible.May be you are the messenger God sent for me. Though I hate word 'I' but have to use it here to tell you the habits improved by me.
I just want to THANK YOU from the deepest core of my heart.
I have never done this since i hardly share my feelings except very few people.
Thank you . Wishing you all the good in the world. :)))))))
The exact moment I needed this :')
Thanks Sadia!
I just want to say thank you for caring so much about all of us, giving us tools to live a healthier life. Which will improve all aspects of our life. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 Sending so much love to all of you..
Your voice is so calming.
I love how positive all the Pick Up Limes videos are. I’ve been working this past year to have a healthy relationship with food and I have to attribute some of my progress to the impact this channel has had on my life. I’m so happy and grateful that there are people out there like you!
Thank you so much! I needed this, been eating crap for weeks now and I'm not feeling better on my not-so-healthy-diet 😣 I love your videos, they are so inspiring and motivating! Keep up the good work ✌
This video was timely because I have reached a plateau during my healthy journey and I feel so frustrated and upset with myself because my old habits are creeping back in. Watching this gave me a boost of motivation to get back and start again! 😊
This was perfect timing for me. You honestly make the most amazing videos. I always feel so encouraged when watching one of them. You have a calm and kind way of getting your point across. Your editing and foods are always done so beautifully. Thank you so much for creating such mind and body-changing content.
Wow what a lovely comment, Mathilde, thank you so much! :D
I don’t often comment but I have been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now and I have to say, I love them. Super helpful content in a kindly and benevolent manner. You truly are an inspiration! Thank you for all of your hard work! Lots of love ☺️
How is it you always make the video I need right at that moment? Thank you so much!! And for the pdf, I feel already motivated thanks to your video
I know you made an e-book but if you made a recipe book with every single recipe you ever made, I would buy it in an instant.
I am fairly new to the vegan world and to your channel, and you are both inspiring, educational and organized, which I love. I would really love for you to make a recipe book!
Thank you, I needed this. Been watching your vids for over a year now and I look forward to each post. 💗😊
A perfect way to wake up with one of your videos! You’re such a great source inspiration for me. I love your videos and your recipes because you present really healthy and quick meal ideas which can be easily incorporated in my daily life.
In my opinion having no time for a healthy meal is no option because the time can always be found. We spend hours in front of social media checking other people’s life instead of focusing on what really matters. It’s a question of priority in life.
Literally needed this!!! I've been eating out so much, I feel so sluggish. Much appreciated ♥️
same here, but we're getting there aren't we 😂 she makes me feel so positive 😊
Thank you Sadia and PUL team!!
You make my life and thousands others better!!
What you aim, do and achieve is extremely vital, please never stop. Hope you know how much we are grateful for all the hard work, love and research you put in everything you present.
So much love from Egypt xx
This was such a perfectly timed and communicated message to hear. As someone in recovery, your emphasis on health and positive outlook regarding food as well as the mental and social aspects, always gives me cause to stop and be patient with myself,be mindful of the choices around me and remember my support systems. As you say, Teamwork makes the dream work. Thanks for this vid✅🤗💚
What I loved the most about this video is that this principles can apply to anything that we want to do in life, THANKS GUYS!!
When you want to go to sleep but your favourite youtuber uploads a new video haha :') totally worth staying up for it tho. An amazing video as always with some very good advice. I love how you keep everyone motivated and positive, thanks for the beautiful content :) lots of love from Germany and good night! ✨
Sweet dreams - and thank you! ☽
I really enjoy that you are combining nutrition with other life skills and advice. So often we become focused on only one category of our lives and try to heal or perfect it without the consideration of ourselves as a whole and complex being. I agree, the tendency to focus on numbers on a scale or caloric intake can be very dangerous or at least derailing of our goals for obtaining optimal health.
Thank you PUL team! The content is amazing! ... so balanced! 😊😊😊
Good motivational speaker to people like me who always depend on mom's cooking..and thinking cooking is crossing a big mountain but ur recipes and speeches are very interesting, the way I want to have it my rest of my life.
Such a powerful approach. Lots of love to you. Watching you speak is therapeutic. 😊🤩
Since I've started watching your videos, I'll often find myself thinking, "Sadia would be proud of me for eating/making/doing this!" Thank you for being a constant source of positivity and inspiration 😊
I’m so glad I came across your channel! Videos are so well done and relaxing to watch. Trying my first recipe from your blog tonight and I can’t wait! Def motivating me to try eating more plant based :) thank you for sharing your recipes and knowledge
Sadia you are incredibly inspiring. I am very grateful for your channel and your motivation to help others in their health journey, and every time I watch a clip from your studio or house or being out in nature, I can't help but feel motivated to put more effort into life. I'm not a complete couch potato, but I do get discouraged super easily. Your channel is one of only a few that help me to stay balanced on the tightrope of life. Thank you.
WOW I loved this! Just what I needed, and your voice is so soothing btw
Super helpful ! I find that my motivation often comes in waves, like there are times when all I want to eat is fresh fruits and vegs + work out like crazy and there are times where all I want to eat is junk food and do nothing. These periods don't last long as my body eventually starts wanting something healthier (that's why I'm ok with listening to my cravings for a little while) but I just wish I could find more of a balance and not be so extreme all the time. Your channel is a great help !
This is oddly specific but i always Love the way your videos are edited
I love the creators of this channel! Just discovered you guys and hands down this video hits every mark and excuse that I've been making for myself as to why I am not eating healthy (ie. too expensive, no time, etc). Thank you for providing such an in depth pdf for us and showcasing our struggles in a way that allows us to realize it ourselves and to instead focus our time and energy on the positive changes we can bring into our own lives. By mentioning the problems and offering tons of solutions really allows us viewers to take the advice to heart. Love the thought, quality, and time everyone has put into making this video!
Hello, I love your advice and the sound of your voice (in a non-creepy way). Have you ever thought of expanding Pick Up Limes into a podcast?
My one year Vegan Lifestyle anniversary. 06/18/18 is near. I've had my ups and downs. "mostly ups" ☺ Thank you Ms. Sadia
Obstacle - Never quite feeling satisfied. Solution - Adding a little more Salad-Fruits-Grains to the meal. The BIG obstacle
Wine/Alcohol triggers the Pre-Vegan (me)
Seriously struggling to find motivation for some of my hobbies. Specifically the violin. This advice sounds super to try and get myself back on the motivation train!
Your videos are always so enlightened! You’re a very healthy person to the world
i was literally just thinking about pick up limes when this notification popped up
Excellent video. Our daily routine, work, shopping, cooking, cleaning, looking after kids etc is a grind and diminshes our motivation.
Love your video!!
I will try to find my Why!
Thank you for being so inspirational for me
i run across so many health conscious videos" and all of them are so uninteresting i notice i never really find what im looking for...
i just so happen to come across your videos and i must say i love them all this is what ive been looking for something with knowledge and inspiration" and your voice is so soothing to the soul" I had to (subscribe) good job queen keep up the good work! i have learned so much and will be putting it to use.
This is exactly the advice I needed to hear right now, thank you!
You can tell you eat healthy because your skin looks so nice and your hair is thick and shiny! My hair had improved so much, in fact I would say it's transformed since I starting eating a healthy diet.
It's true what they say, you are what you eat.x 😄
Your videos always make me want to cook more. Thanks for the motivation! You're the best ❤️
I absolutely applaud the pain and time you take to make this videos...you must do a Ted talk...love you...Pls keep going...and making such videos..and helping people...love and respect
Beautiful. thank you so much!! Your way to become more awareness to eat food is really amazing. 🙏🍃🌸❤
Obstacle: loss of motivation to meal prep
Solution: eating out, but choosing the veggie or vegan option, and choosing veggies as a side instead of fried sides.
I'm hoping to get back into it after I download your PDF though! Thanks for sharing these amazing tips!
Who in their right mind would give this video a thumbs down?!?!
hsbutoy a miserable person.
Exactly what I wondered!
After giving birth to my baby and having left 5 months for my body to recover on its own, this video can not come at a better time! thanks for making it so easy!
Yes so going to incorporate these tips. Thanks for this!!🥰❤🙋🏾♀️💞
I recently found your channel and I have been loving your style. I am not vegan, but I am hoping to become more plant-based. I have some health issues and weight problems and my doctor told me to cut meat and dairy out of my diet.
I love how you don't judge and have an open mind. Your whole approach, is awesome and I am so glad that I found your channel and will be using a lot of your recipes and taking your advice on nutrition. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making some unbelievable content!
Perfect timing. Thank you for your outstanding content! ❤️ Your videos truly make my day.
This video couldn't be more on time! Three years ago I was in my best shape ever; I was eating plant based and running 6 miles a day... then my mother died and all hell broke lose. The grief and pain made me loose all care... and I ballooned up to 214 pounds. I am now back trying to regain my health, slowly going back to plant based and I am running 1.50 miles a day, but sometimes I need some reinforcement... thank you for your support and advice.
I am loving your videos! So helpful thank you 😊😊
Wow, this video is so amazing!! I already gained a relatively balanced attitude towards healthy eating through your videos because you sometimes dropped advice concerning the motivation. But this video just nailed it!! I really can see that you must have been so good at your old job but now you managed to abstract what you learned so that everyone here on UA-cam can profit without you knowing us all. You have amazing recipes but you also acknowledge that it's a lot about the hows and whys - that's so valuable. I can't believe how much I grow through your videos even though it's mostly just about the food topic. Such a big thank you ❤
Wise and practical advice per usual. Love your workspace, makes me so happy to see it! 🌱 how much do you love being there? 😊 xx
Hehe, we do love it a lot - plants change the game! ❤
Your approach is pitch perfect! You empower and inspire while you show us the way to enjoy eating fresh, nutritious, delicious food. I applaud you and I appreciate your work!
