These are 3 healthy eating tips I wish I understood YEARS ago! Please feel free to share your tips in the comments so we can all learn from and support one another. XO Dani
Thank you for this video ❤️ I usually back away from anything to do with diets and nutrition, I have heard it all. But this video was amazing and I'm so glad I clicked on it! It really hit home and you put into words what I know is right but haven't managed to say.
My husband and I have always been whole food advocates. Carrying an extra 30 pounds of weight, a year ago I decided to go extreme low carb and only 2 meals a day. I lost the weight, was always hungry & cold, and worst of all I became an insomniac. In the end I gained the weight back probably because I was restricting myself so much. Two months ago I decided to bring back the healthy carbs and go to 3 meals a day, what a difference! I am sleeping like a baby, I have increased energy, I am not cold all the time, and I am slowly losing that excess weight. I am more mindful to watch my portions (no weighing food, no measuring food or counting calories), and I do keep a daily food journal to make sure my day is balance. I have fallen I love with cooking again and feel great🥰
Sometimes we have to try extreme measures inn order to come back to balance (and basics!) - I know I've been there! Glad you are now on apath that is feeling good!
This is the best advice on weight loss I've seen yet because it's "real life"! I find that your recipes and making healthier, lower fat versions of processed fattening foods helps a lot! And being patient for 3 months to really see results.
I’m a new subscriber and have already cooked two things that I’ve seen in your videos! I have always struggled with healthy eating because it DOES feel overwhelming getting information from so many sources. I’m also a mother of 2 young children who are HOOKED on junk food. Being a working mom who’s also in college is very busy and it’s just a terrible habit for me to pop some processed food in the microwave for my kids and myself to ensure that we are fed before we leave for school every morning. I feel like the way you present your options for healthy eating does not overwhelm me and it’s not expensive! Since watching your channel, I was recently inspired to sort through and organize my entire kitchen, fridge and freezers. I think my first small steps to build my foundation are 1. Drinking enough water daily and making sure my children do as well, and 2. Cycling out the junk food! So when our frozen corn dogs run out, I’ll have learned some more healthy meals/snacks for my kids and just make those instead of replacing the finished corn dogs with a new box from the store.
Hi Brienna! Thank you for watching and for sharing. I love how you are getting clear on your foundations. And - remember to be easy fn yourself. As a working Mom who is also in college and making sure her kids are cared for and fed - it sounds like you are doing an AMAZING job! You can work on changing your habits while still giving yourself credit for all the hard work you are presently doing. XXOO
A few years back my husband passed after having health issues. Ok, then it was time for me to address some of my health concerns and having retired to the beach had to find a new physician. Big changes, blood work was not good so was enrolled in a diabetic teaching class at the local hospital. Since I was only cooking for myself it was a wake up call. Carbs and vegetables were my challenge. Loved carbs and not so much on the vegetables. Started cooking the vegetables with every meal, even spinach in my omlettes. Gave up bread, potatoes and my favorite corn dishes. Took me a year to get off my sugar medicine and get my numbers below average. Covid was a hard era as for shopping for fresh foods but today I am 5 pounds below where my endocrinologist wanted me to be for my age and height. Lesson learned, vegetables are a must for me and I have a potato once in a while but still limit my breads and pastas because they are a true weakness to me. At least I recognize my downfalls. Can I say ( love your videos and inspiration) how much I appreciate you sticking with us during these trying times. 🥰🙁
Such a great message, Debbie! Veggies are so important (and can be so delicious!). Thanks for sharing all of this - I know it will be super helpful for others. XO
Thank you Dani! What wonderful advice. I knew that recently I was eating because I was upset, but still ate, and hearing Dani speak this, with more info, was great!
Thank you so much for this video! It really opened my eyes into how much of my eating has become driven by emotions. I’m excited to start developing healthier habits!
Good luck Katie. Keep at it! I think the hardest part is to get some insight into personal behaviour. You’ve achieved this so the rest will follow. Greetings from Wales. U.K.
The most helpful solution I have found for my weight loss is it is a journey, not a marathon. I have watched you for years and completely agree about eating real food. I do have a little trouble now, and then sleeping, so meditation and reading do help. Keep up the good work Dani.
My biggest tip is eat food that you like so that u can keep eating that way. Find vegetables and proteins you like and make them multiple different ways for variety. create your own special "diet" of healthy food. (I consider healthy food any whole food with some exceptions)
I am fascinated by the food emotions you spoke of. I believe most people eat based on emotions and habit than hunger. I’m really going to dive into my own emotional eating and I’m going to have my husband watch it as well. Thanks so much.
I've seen many of your recipe videos, some hits & misses but more my taste preference than poor recipes This video is spot on and a good reminder for what is important to pay attention to for your health. Thanks for this reminder.
One thing I did was to prep our healthy carbs once a week, be it black beans, quinoa, wild rice, etc. After cooking each type of carb, I would measure out two servings for my husband and me, place those two servings in ziploc bags, and freeze. Each night we would decide which carb we wanted with dinner, throw the chosen ziploc bag in the microwave, and boom! You're done! It makes meal prep so easy, and it keeps you from overeating.
For me, keeping the junk food out of the house is key! I gained weight back over the holidays, but I am now back on track. I have found that I missed having vegetables daily!!
great advice! I spent a year going through a transformation, I started taking ozempic for my type two diabetes and for 3 months could barely eat anything due to feeling nauseous, it did kill my appetite and helped kick my sugar addiction and of course I lost approximately 65 pounds over 6 months. Now I eat protein and lower carb vegetables and am doing much better, but I really believe getting off the sugar roller coaster, made where I am now, possible.
Hi Dani, thank you, loved this video and totally agree with your tips! 🥰As you say, we are bombarded with a lot of contradictory information and a food industry that creates such unhealthy products, including many that "look like" healthy but are not. Learning to differentiate what's good from what's not has been key to me...
This is great advice that is perfect for the New Year. I think my best, realistic advice is to take the foods you really love and find creative ways to make them more nutrient dense and well-balanced. I love mac and cheese, for example, but it's not a full meal on it's own because it doesn't have enough protein or fiber for satiety (for me, anyway). So I will blend up low-fat cottage cheese and nutritional yeast (protein) and add steamed broccoli (fiber) and add a salad on the side to make it a whole meal. Sometimes I skip the broccoli and just roast some asparagus on the side. I get to eat what I want, I love being creative with how I add more foods in, and I don't overeat on foods that are less nutrient dense because it's filling with those add-ins.
Thank you Dani, I am a long time follower of your channel. I am very grateful that you brought to my attention the Atomic Habit. It is exactly what I need at this moment. Have a great year with lots of accomplishments - and good habits!
Hi and thank you for your invaluable information, Dani. I need to add those steps (exercize) into my life. In the past year, I've curbed my appetite in eating more sensibly and smaller portions combined. Listening to you, has helped immensely! 🥰 Thank you
thank you I needed to hear this! after years of dieting and failing doing all kinds of diets and restrictions that i cant seem to sustain. I have come to surrender to the fact that all it comes down to is real food. It is very stressful to let go of the science and rules such as keto its actually scary to eat a piece of fruit . I am going to try to let go of the fear and go to whole foods and see how it goes.
Great topic and discussion. I think everyone talks about how to loose weight , but ignoring the reason on how and why the wrong eating habits started. Thank you so much for sharing these three mantras. I am one of those people , who has done multiple diets and failed. Good reminder of kind and sustainable approach towards our health.
Always love your videos. Vegetables daily is a must for our family, even with my husband now (the one never eat vegetable before ) . I am incorporable more diversity vegetable and it’s quite interesting and exciting. Thanks Dani for all your videos over the years , I learned a lot from you ❤
When I get a craving I get a drink of water rather than go 👀 for food . My partner and I don’t buy junk food anymore since Xmas and have lost 9 kilos each to date . We treat ourselves once a month to baskin robins 🎉yum . 😊 I follow up your videos especially with gluten free and keto friendly .
Great tips! I’ve started reading Atomic Habits. So far so good! It’s so true that good habits will take time (hardest thing about it) and I like that he identifies habits with identity. Your habits should coincide with the person/identity you want to be. ❤❤
Hello Danny, how can i reduce my cravings of sweets? I have mental illness. so I dont know what to do instead of craving. i am searching for help in the internet and found your videos very helpful. Thank you Danny😊
Love all of your videos and I thank you for them! So great to have someone like you working to help others in something that we all seem to struggle with! Your positive attitude and support are inspiring! You have a wonderful way about you and I can see that it is long-lasting! Good for you! I have been morbidly obese for a number of years due to a bad thyroid and overeating to try to get energy--and I have a horrible case of sleep apnea--I was convinced I could not lose weight--I did join Weight Watchers and that helped to turn my positive attitude on and thank goodness I managed to lose almost 100 pounds! I began to enjoy your recipes more and more and still love all of them and also your advice whenever I can! If ever I feel unfocused or depressed I know I can watch one of your videos and it actually helps me to regroup! Thank you for all that you do! I still have another 80 pounds to go to get to my goal weight but I feel it is do-able now and your presentation in this video confirm that for me. I am eternally grateful for your part in my journey! Hope you have a wonderful year with your adorable family and much success in all you do! Deborah in Massachusetts
Im a new subscriber, love your content and personality so much! I've recently reached my goal weight (128 lbs, started at 147) and im actually very anxious coz I'm afraid I won't be able to mantain it long term. Your advice is extremely helpful, thank you❤️😘
What healthy proteins do you recommend for breakfast? We eat bacon or sausage most days. Sometimes canadian or turkey bacon but my kids and husband aren't big fans.
THIS is a great video! Everything you've said was spot on that I needed to hear. Ironically, it's everything I've been working on changing and becoming aware of currently. My weight has fluctuated my whole life and it wasn't until recently I started putting small things together that have been working slowly, very slowly, but still working. I'll tell you what has recently helped me the most and that is understanding my relationship with food and why I'm eating. This has seriously been so recent and my epiphany moment that I don't know why I didn't have it years ago! I also stopped counting calories. I still make sure though that each meal is healthy and I not overeat and I allow myself 1 treat a night (1 piece of chocolate, fruit snack pack etc.) When I'm okay with allowing myself to have that treat it helps me not binge or feel like I'm being bad. Hope this helps someone.
Dani- So-Intermittent fasting? I have never done anything like this-just started this 2 weeks ago-Not sure this is right either-What are your thoughts on this. Just doing this 2 weeks has made me understand that I just had gotten off track. Not eating good meals, I had skipped lunch alot and snacked at night and never used too. Lots of stress. I still think your way is the right way-Its just I have never had to loose weight and honestly, I am so afraid nothing will work and I will stay this way or get bigger. I used to be a size 4,6,8 and now like a 8, 10,12. I'am 56 and I don't like it. I never went for skinny-strong and healthy. I have to say though even at a size 4,6-I thought I was fat. Self love and wisdom yes-Almost afraid to just love self- I feel it contributed to just giving myself permission to eat what and when I wanted-does that make sense? Any way, your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The oatmeal thing too-it has been villainized for the carb content. To eat or not to eat. You eat, but you work out alot-
What has been helpful to me lately is getting an education on what my body does during a fast. And also how eating processed foods causes my body to produce more insulin. (Which can eventually lead to diabetes) Realizing I’m addicted to sugar and my brain will demand it. That I won’t die, or faint without it! That’s a lie I have been believing. The truth has set me free!
I pre ordered your book! you are amazing and I totally resinate with your recipes and your thoughts on dieting. you have helped me so much. I have been struggling with my diet and lifestyle and you have given me the answers I needed to re evaluate and go in a better more sustainable direction.
Alot of the packaged foods we eat ain't good anyway and its processed. Gonna start buying my stuff organic. I'm not trying to be paranoid but I'm really just afraid of having any medical/health issues. I take my health very seriously. But I guess you also have to eat everything in moderation too Thank you so much for this video
I cut out all soda pop back in 2014 after being diagnosed with breast cancer . And then 3 yrs ago , just 4 days before I turned 52 I not only got diagnosed with being a Celiac but also found out I had 2 spots on my liver that were cancer. They got cut out .The surgeon I had told me I not only have to be gluten free for life but I also am on a Kosher diet and I also cant have any processed foods . I also drink 5 to 6 cups of green tea a day . Green tea naturally slims U and is also full of other natural benefits . and I also eat purty much almost all organic foods . When I want a snack 9 times out of 10 I just grab an apple . Cos if I'm not hungry enuf to eat an apple I'm not hungry . I make all of my food from scratch daily and I freeze my leftovers and make my own homemade TV dinners . Since where I live its really hard to find a Celiac Friendly place to go eat . So I mostly eat at home . And I have a super high metabolism so I have a lot of enegry and just burn it off by walking a lot or doing meditation and yoga moves .
Dani, what are your thoughts on WW? I am currently on the program but find it makes me a little consumed by food. Always thinking about what I can and can’t have based on my daily points. I hate tracking. I hate measuring. That’s when I give up.
What has really helped me focus my attention on healthy cooking is purchasing a recipe-grocery shopping app called Paprika. I’ve downloaded recipes into this app, use it for grocery shopping and meal planning. It was a serious game changer for me. I went from hating to cook to now being passionate about it. UA-camrs like yourself inspire me to keep going.
Hi Dani i have watched your videos off and on for a while but ths time around your way of eatinf has really resinated with me and i have even made a couple of your recipes just within the last week. I tried to tag you on FB with my facenook but i am computer illerate so not sure if it worked :} Anywho, i am a type 2 diabetic currently very uncontrolled (trying to better now) i am wondering what your advice to me would be? I like that you use the natural sugars but i wonder if even those are ok for me? You are so right, there is so much information out there, especially when it comes to diabetes, that it is hard to know what to do. Thats why i like how you do it with the clean eating. I am not interested in doing keto, i think it is too restrictive for me and not sustainable. I also dont like the idea of intermitten fasting. shaky and "hangry if i go too long without eating. I have a food addiction/ emotional overeating problem and i could really use any help, advice, or support you could give me. Sorry i know this was a long post but i appreciate you.
Hello my name is Alexandra and I just love your show I heard about your book that is coming out what worries me is the price because I'm not quite in a great budget you also said about a book that can help with losing weight which I would love to see if I could get that too but is the same thing as to get your book too take care have a wonderful day
Hi Alexandra! The book will be fab BUT you don't need it if it doesn't fit your budget. Watch my videos - everything that is in that book has been said on this channel at some point. XO
Ahha moment. My emotions are messengers that I only need to stop for a moment and acknowledge it. I don’t need to find a solution or do anything, especially don’t go eat something to make me feel better. I’m going to try to be more aware of my emotions now in a gentler way.
I need to be told I can lose weight without counting calories. Everytime I start counting.. I binge. But I feel like I will never lose the weight without counting calories.
My darling, you can lose weight without counting calories. Start with this simple tool - > before eating, ask yourself, "Am I hungry?" - when eating, pause and ask, "Have I had enough?". I know this seems TOO simple - but try it for one week. Also - notice - if you are not hungry and still want to eat - lots to learn there. XO
I wish GMO went away along with high fructose corn syrup. It in almost everything!!! Food companies add stuff that knowingly makes people sick. Organic foods are expensive and I learned to read ingredients on everything because I'm helping to raise my 3 yr old great grandson and want him to get a good start. Thank you for these tips. I lost 40 lbs when I started eating more fresh veggies and less meat. So basically I've become a vegetarian.
I don't think GMOs are what you think they are. Technically all bananas grown today were genetically modified (gmo) to not have the seeds they originally had in them when found in the wild. They are all clones of the same banana without seeds. However organic bananas are grown without pesticides and all that harmful cancer causing chemicals while the "normal" bananas are grown with those gross pesticides. I use bananas as an example but this is the same with all GMO food. They are just choosing the best genetics to breed with another plant that has great genetics to produce a higher quality product. I'm sure most produce in stores today are generically modified for better consumption.
What help me get on the move to achive my goals, or rather to start the journey, is a book called Principles by Ray Dalio. It really shows ideas on how anyone can become successful in life and how any can achive their goals.
I lose weight by drinking a juice glass of grapefruit juice and an 8 oz. glass of water or an 8 oz. bottle of water and I lost 43 1/2 pounds in a month and a half and ate the same food as my boyfriend and my family I didn't eat any special foods or weight loss pills or foods
I also eat healthier carbs and not a whole lot of junk foods I might once in a great while get me something sweet to eat but not all the time maybe like once to twice a month if that
I was thinking about this idea the other day. Let me ask you this. Food preppers (end the world type of people), You never see them talk about healthy eating/prepping (calories, protein, carbs, etc). It might even be a business opportunity for you to swoop in. Can a food prepper be mentally sane and eat clean and delicious while trying to think about marshall law and how to defend their food/home with their guns and also knowing they can't go outside for a daily run for exercise because they have to protect their food or simply might die just by leaving their home cuz it's a mad Max type of world. When one plans ahead to live clean and healthy, how far does one plan before running off the road over the cliff into madness and being consumed with all of this and becoming that insane person? In just a couple weeks all the new gym goers will throw away their New Year's resolutions. This is just some thoughts for you to ponder. It could be expanded.
I would consider myself a prepper and I eat keto/ carnivore. With that said I stock up on lots of meat, both shelf stable and freezer! I also consider myself mentally sane and ready to protect myself and my food!
@@beckia3260 you should watch the idubbbz video about preppers. But if you're on the side of preppers you will hate video lol. You will not understand it at all.

Thank you Dani for the great tips! What has helped me on my health & weight loss journey is consistency.
YES! Consistency is huge. Thanks for sharing.
Can you do a video on the proper use of oil, and which oils are healthiest vs which are the worst for you?
Looking forward to getting the cook book & the flowers in the background remind me of spring when I will get it!!
Awe, thank you, Shannon! I appreciate your support.

Thank you! I needed to hear this today.
amazing advice - thank you
Learning about nutrition has been the best thing - and of course your intro videos on this channel 🙌
Great tips! I’ve started reading Atomic Habits. So far so good! It’s so true that good habits will take time (hardest thing about it) and I like that he identifies habits with identity. Your habits should coincide with the person/identity you want to be. ❤❤
Hello Danny, how can i reduce my cravings of sweets? I have mental illness. so I dont know what to do instead of craving. i am searching for help in the internet and found your videos very helpful. Thank you Danny😊
Love all of your videos and I thank you for them! So great to have someone like you working to help others in something that we all seem to struggle with! Your positive attitude and support are inspiring! You have a wonderful way about you and I can see that it is long-lasting! Good for you! I have been morbidly obese for a number of years due to a bad thyroid and overeating to try to get energy--and I have a horrible case of sleep apnea--I was convinced I could not lose weight--I did join Weight Watchers and that helped to turn my positive attitude on and thank goodness I managed to lose almost 100 pounds! I began to enjoy your recipes more and more and still love all of them and also your advice whenever I can! If ever I feel unfocused or depressed I know I can watch one of your videos and it actually helps me to regroup! Thank you for all that you do! I still have another 80 pounds to go to get to my goal weight but I feel it is do-able now and your presentation in this video confirm that for me. I am eternally grateful for your part in my journey! Hope you have a wonderful year with your adorable family and much success in all you do! Deborah in Massachusetts
Im a new subscriber, love your content and personality so much! I've recently reached my goal weight (128 lbs, started at 147) and im actually very anxious coz I'm afraid I won't be able to mantain it long term. Your advice is extremely helpful, thank you❤️😘
This is very common! Focus on daily habits - that is where the practice lives. XO
Great things to examine, thanks for sharing.
You’re absolutely right Dani 😊👌🏼 I so enjoy your videos. Thanks so much! 🥰♥️🌻
Great advice! I needed this today 😊
What's better than good timing? XO
You area God send! I live for your recipes.
What healthy proteins do you recommend for breakfast? We eat bacon or sausage most days. Sometimes canadian or turkey bacon but my kids and husband aren't big fans.
Hi Dani, can you recommend or make a video about toxic free non stick pans?
Such sensible, real advice!
Thank you, Jenny!
When I'm craving soda I put a tablespoon of no sugar added frozen juice concentrate into a glass of carbonated water
That sounds like a great idea. I'm going to try it. Thank you
THIS is a great video! Everything you've said was spot on that I needed to hear. Ironically, it's everything I've been working on changing and becoming aware of currently. My weight has fluctuated my whole life and it wasn't until recently I started putting small things together that have been working slowly, very slowly, but still working. I'll tell you what has recently helped me the most and that is understanding my relationship with food and why I'm eating. This has seriously been so recent and my epiphany moment that I don't know why I didn't have it years ago! I also stopped counting calories. I still make sure though that each meal is healthy and I not overeat and I allow myself 1 treat a night (1 piece of chocolate, fruit snack pack etc.) When I'm okay with allowing myself to have that treat it helps me not binge or feel like I'm being bad. Hope this helps someone.
yes! our RELATIONSHIP with food is such a big piece of the conversation and one that is often overlooked!
Dani- So-Intermittent fasting? I have never done anything like this-just started this 2 weeks ago-Not sure this is right either-What are your thoughts on this. Just doing this 2 weeks has made me understand that I just had gotten off track. Not eating good meals, I had skipped lunch alot and snacked at night and never used too. Lots of stress. I still think your way is the right way-Its just I have never had to loose weight and honestly, I am so afraid nothing will work and I will stay this way or get bigger. I used to be a size 4,6,8 and now like a 8, 10,12. I'am 56 and I don't like it. I never went for skinny-strong and healthy. I have to say though even at a size 4,6-I thought I was fat. Self love and wisdom yes-Almost afraid to just love self- I feel it contributed to just giving myself permission to eat what and when I wanted-does that make sense? Any way, your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The oatmeal thing too-it has been villainized for the carb content. To eat or not to eat. You eat, but you work out alot-
Such great advice❤️
So glad it resonated!
What has been helpful to me lately is getting an education on what my body does during a fast. And also how eating processed foods causes my body to produce more insulin. (Which can eventually lead to diabetes)
Realizing I’m addicted to sugar and my brain will demand it. That I won’t die, or faint without it! That’s a lie I have been believing.
The truth has set me free!
I pre ordered your book! you are amazing and I totally resinate with your recipes and your thoughts on dieting. you have helped me so much. I have been struggling with my diet and lifestyle and you have given me the answers I needed to re evaluate and go in a better more sustainable direction.
Thanks
Anytime!
Alot of the packaged foods we eat ain't good anyway and its processed. Gonna start buying my stuff organic. I'm not trying to be paranoid but I'm really just afraid of having any medical/health issues. I take my health very seriously. But I guess you also have to eat everything in moderation too
Thank you so much for this video
I cut out all soda pop back in 2014 after being diagnosed with breast cancer . And then 3 yrs ago , just 4 days before I turned 52 I not only got diagnosed with being a Celiac but also found out I had 2 spots on my liver that were cancer. They got cut out .The surgeon I had told me I not only have to be gluten free for life but I also am on a Kosher diet and I also cant have any processed foods . I also drink 5 to 6 cups of green tea a day . Green tea naturally slims U and is also full of other natural benefits . and I also eat purty much almost all organic foods . When I want a snack 9 times out of 10 I just grab an apple . Cos if I'm not hungry enuf to eat an apple I'm not hungry . I make all of my food from scratch daily and I freeze my leftovers and make my own homemade TV dinners . Since where I live its really hard to find a Celiac Friendly place to go eat . So I mostly eat at home . And I have a super high metabolism so I have a lot of enegry and just burn it off by walking a lot or doing meditation and yoga moves .
I love your channel!
Thank you !
I love this video, thank you
It's my pleasure. I'm glad it resonates.
Thank you, Dani. My number one tip to myself today is: watch Dani's tips daily, and stop watching the nonsense other things I watch. R
In the morning before i do anything i sit down and i focus on my breath, it doesn't have to be long, just a few breath's is enough.
Dani, what are your thoughts on WW? I am currently on the program but find it makes me a little consumed by food. Always thinking about what I can and can’t have based on my daily points. I hate tracking. I hate measuring. That’s when I give up.
Great tips
So freaking accurate and helpful 👌 👏
So glad it's helpful!
What has really helped me focus my attention on healthy cooking is purchasing a recipe-grocery shopping app called Paprika. I’ve downloaded recipes into this app, use it for grocery shopping and meal planning. It was a serious game changer for me. I went from hating to cook to now being passionate about it. UA-camrs like yourself inspire me to keep going.
Hi Dani i have watched your videos off and on for a while but ths time around your way of eatinf has really resinated with me and i have even made a couple of your recipes just within the last week. I tried to tag you on FB with my facenook but i am computer illerate so not sure if it worked :} Anywho, i am a type 2 diabetic currently very uncontrolled (trying to better now) i am wondering what your advice to me would be? I like that you use the natural sugars but i wonder if even those are ok for me? You are so right, there is so much information out there, especially when it comes to diabetes, that it is hard to know what to do. Thats why i like how you do it with the clean eating. I am not interested in doing keto, i think it is too restrictive for me and not sustainable. I also dont like the idea of intermitten fasting. shaky and "hangry if i go too long without eating. I have a food addiction/ emotional overeating problem and i could really use any help, advice, or support you could give me. Sorry i know this was a long post but i appreciate you.
Hello my name is Alexandra and I just love your show I heard about your book that is coming out what worries me is the price because I'm not quite in a great budget you also said about a book that can help with losing weight which I would love to see if I could get that too but is the same thing as to get your book too take care have a wonderful day
Hi Alexandra! The book will be fab BUT you don't need it if it doesn't fit your budget. Watch my videos - everything that is in that book has been said on this channel at some point. XO
😮 yes yes
Thanks for watching, Cathy.
Ahha moment. My emotions are messengers that I only need to stop for a moment and acknowledge it. I don’t need to find a solution or do anything, especially don’t go eat something to make me feel better.
I’m going to try to be more aware of my emotions now in a gentler way.
I need to be told I can lose weight without counting calories. Everytime I start counting.. I binge. But I feel like I will never lose the weight without counting calories.
Me too girl! Counting calories was driving me crazy
My darling, you can lose weight without counting calories. Start with this simple tool - > before eating, ask yourself, "Am I hungry?" - when eating, pause and ask, "Have I had enough?". I know this seems TOO simple - but try it for one week. Also - notice - if you are not hungry and still want to eat - lots to learn there. XO
@@CleanandDeliciousDani thank you.. I'll give that a try this week ❤️
Me too...🥲
Weight watchers worked for me. I lost 5lbs
🤩
Thanks for watching.
Hi Dani
❤❤❤❤
Sending that love right back your way!
I don't think you could have explained this any better
I'm so glad it resonated! thank you for watching.
👍
I wish GMO went away along with high fructose corn syrup. It in almost everything!!! Food companies add stuff that knowingly makes people sick. Organic foods are expensive and I learned to read ingredients on everything because I'm helping to raise my 3 yr old great grandson and want him to get a good start. Thank you for these tips. I lost 40 lbs when I started eating more fresh veggies and less meat. So basically I've become a vegetarian.
I'm glad the tips were helpful. Continue doing what you are doing - sounds like you are on the right path.
I don't think GMOs are what you think they are. Technically all bananas grown today were genetically modified (gmo) to not have the seeds they originally had in them when found in the wild. They are all clones of the same banana without seeds. However organic bananas are grown without pesticides and all that harmful cancer causing chemicals while the "normal" bananas are grown with those gross pesticides.
I use bananas as an example but this is the same with all GMO food. They are just choosing the best genetics to breed with another plant that has great genetics to produce a higher quality product. I'm sure most produce in stores today are generically modified for better consumption.
What help me get on the move to achive my goals, or rather to start the journey, is a book called Principles by Ray Dalio. It really shows ideas on how anyone can become successful in life and how any can achive their goals.
Oooooh! I'll look that one up! I always love a new book recommendation.
I am not looking to lose weight, trying to eat healthy and gain muscle weight.
I lose weight by drinking a juice glass of grapefruit juice and an 8 oz. glass of water or an 8 oz. bottle of water and I lost 43 1/2 pounds in a month and a half and ate the same food as my boyfriend and my family I didn't eat any special foods or weight loss pills or foods
Love that you found a process that works for you. :)
I also eat healthier carbs and not a whole lot of junk foods I might once in a great while get me something sweet to eat but not all the time maybe like once to twice a month if that
👍♥️🇨🇦👏
You are a Goddess
Why thank you :) lol.
I was thinking about this idea the other day. Let me ask you this. Food preppers (end the world type of people), You never see them talk about healthy eating/prepping (calories, protein, carbs, etc). It might even be a business opportunity for you to swoop in. Can a food prepper be mentally sane and eat clean and delicious while trying to think about marshall law and how to defend their food/home with their guns and also knowing they can't go outside for a daily run for exercise because they have to protect their food or simply might die just by leaving their home cuz it's a mad Max type of world. When one plans ahead to live clean and healthy, how far does one plan before running off the road over the cliff into madness and being consumed with all of this and becoming that insane person? In just a couple weeks all the new gym goers will throw away their New Year's resolutions. This is just some thoughts for you to ponder. It could be expanded.
You always share some interesting thoughts to ponder, that's for sure!
I would consider myself a prepper and I eat keto/ carnivore. With that said I stock up on lots of meat, both shelf stable and freezer! I also consider myself mentally sane and ready to protect myself and my food!
@@beckia3260 you should watch the idubbbz video about preppers. But if you're on the side of preppers you will hate video lol. You will not understand it at all.
@@FLOODOFSINS the comment section alone is worth the watch! Haha
Great tips
