This is all well and good, but for a lot of overweight people (including myself) satiety is not something we have ever experienced. It’s not so much that we’re always hungry, as much as we never experience the impulse to stop eating. I could (and have) eaten until my body was screaming in pain, but my brain always wanted to keep going.
I’ve lost weight, 200lbs and counting, but no matter how much chicken and broccoli or other healthy food I eat (or over eat), my brain will still want more food healthy or unhealthy.
That’s the thing a lot of these “never been fat dietitians” will never understand. It’s not physiological, it’s psychological. Ending overeating isn’t about logic and eating more protein, it’s about overcoming deeply rooted routine and a primal visceral desire to never.stop.eating.
it's not necessarily psychological. If you have leptin resistance, which you most certainly do if you've had the weight issues that you describe, your body will never allow you to feel full because it thinks it's in starvation mode. That's one of the reasons why GLP1 meds work for people, they address leptin resistance.
Same goes for me. I was raised to finish my (big) plate regardless of my appetite and also I was always complimented on being a "good eater". So now years later I don't stop eating. I know I'm full, I honestly feel my stomach SO full but I still eat, like my eating isn't linked to my hunger in any way so I can eat forever until I get sick.
Honestly the only thing that's helped me is to eat fewer meals. I still binge during meals but since they happen less often, I eat less in general 🤷
Abby does touch a lot on emotional relationships with food and the psychological aspects in other videos and series though. So I don’t think she doesn’t understand that. This video is just breaking down one small component of human nutrition
I will pray for you to have freedom. It’s possible.
Some medications will turn on that "Eat now! You're starving!" impulse too. First time I've experienced it, and it's given me a ton of sympathy for anyone who experiences it on a regular basis. Trying to tune it out for a few months till I'm off this med is one thing. Trying to ignore it for your entire life? I can't imagine.
I was on Ozempic for about 4 months until my new insurance didn’t cover it, then I switched to compound semaglutide. Both had side effects (Ozempic was daily acid reflux, and compound was nausea initially but none now) but the main effect was quieting food noise. I cried so many times with joy over that. Food noise has owned me for basically my whole life. I have OCD as well, which totally exacerbates the food noise. I’ve been on Ozempic/Semaglutide for about a year total, and I’ve lost just shy of 45lbs. It’s been slow and mostly steady. The key is finding the right dose, as long as the side effects don’t outweigh the desired effects. It’s definitely not for everyone. It’s the ONLY thing that has ever quieted the food noise, and for that, I’m grateful.
Love this! Agree with you completely! I also think that when you have decided to “start a diet” your brain sends your body into hunger mode.
Ozempic did nothing for me except to cause fatigue, constipation, insomnia, etc. it was awful. I know I’m not the only one. After 6 months, I gave it up, not having lost many pounds at all. Also, it’s stupid expensive. 🤷🏼♀️.
It's so hard to balance benefits and symptoms management with medication. I hope you can find something that works better for you!
@@AbbeysKitchen Honestly, I've never tried intuitive eating, or ever even considered anything like Hunger Crushing Combos (and I'm 51). A couple of weeks ago, I discovered your channel. Long story short, I have not been on the scale, but I know shifting my mindset has helped me tremendously (I fit into my fitted pants again).
It's funny because I love oatmeal, but never added anything to it. Now, I can almost hear the song in my mind, a little bit of this and that.
At Easter, my cousin, who has lost 40 lbs this last year, was telling me about her RD and about adding, not restricting.
I think I'm going to stay on this path. Please know you have made a difference in my life and I'm sure many others. Working on getting my own dietician, but I certainly won't stop watching. ❤️ Thank you
@@tiffanydeangelo8575 That is incredible to hear Tiffany!! Thank you for sharing and wishing you the best on your journey
@@tiffanydeangelo8575it’s wild to me that you were prescribed an off-label drug when you hadn’t even tried the most basic of nutrition advice but I guess the same can be said for Ginger. Drugs like Ozempic should be seen as a last resort and only a small step below bariateic surgery, not a first line treatment. Despite not knowing to long term effects of these drugs when used for weight loss, we are already seeing detrimental and deadly side effects. Yikes.
Abby pretends she doesn’t think she’s a cutie but she has the confidence to post in 4k. She knows!
Hello there. I found your super educational videos not long ago and it helped me realize that I’ve struggled with an undiagnosed ED and undiagnosed body dysmorphia for a very long time. This is invaluable as I can now admit I might need to talk to a professional when I couldn’t or wouldn’t admit this previously. You are an inspiration. Thank you so much!
Just found your channel and have been binge watching lol! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a no-nonsense straightforward way.
I am on a weight-loss journey for 6 months and lost 20lbs. Its much needed after 3 kids in 5 years. This video came at the perfect time!! After 6 months I am TIRED of this 😂. THANK YOU for this content. I have never had an ED but also was never given education on nutrition. You have no idea how helpful your recent videos have been. ❤
Amazing video! I love the thorough research and high quality
This video came at the perfect time. Hoping to use these tips to refocus my eating habits based on my goals and overall health. I enjoyed this deep dive!
I don't think that calorie counting and eating low density food has to be mutually exclusive. Calorie counting has been really beneficial for me because I used to freak out about eating high density food all together and counting showed me that I could still enjoy it at appropriate serving sizes as a small part of the healthy diet ! While you're right that drugs like ozympic can be a game changer you currently have to be either diabetic or obese to purchase it which I am neither .
hey abbey, great video as always💗 I really appreciate what you do for us; also I think it would be great if you did more videos on pcos and weight loss for it cause I‘m diagnosed and I’m truly struggling to find valid information about it
super helpful! glad you're talking about weight loss in a healthy sustainable way.
Thank you for this - it is really helpful advice. I have lost over 130 lbs in the last two years. Cucumbers are my staple food, they are the basis of almost any meal I eat. I love their taste and freshness and combined with whole wheat pasta or sweet potatoes I feel really full without taking in too many calories. I want to lose another 40 lbs and right now I am frustrated because it goes so slowly. I have a long history of ED and I am trying hard to not go down the route of extremes. Hearing about that slow metabolism is actually not as big as a problem I thought it was gives me hope that somehow I will continue to lose weight, I just have to be patient and continue what I am doing.
Losing over 130 pounds is incredible! Congratulations! 🎉😀
Wow amazing story, congrats!🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! 🎉
I really appreciate the fact that you support body autonomy and instead of saying people should stop caring for weight loss, you actually give HEALTHY advice on how to achieve it. I think it is so much safer. Btw can you recommend vegan protein soureces apart from tofu?
Seitan, beans and legumes, tvp, tempeh, nutritional yeast, nuts, peanut butter (fat too w the nuts)
Butlers soy curls (available on Amazon), tempeh, textured vegetable protein (dried), protein powder, powdered peanut butter, soy milk, soy yoghurt, lentils, beans, chickpeas, edamame, nutritional yeast, low fat almond flour, hempseeds and nuts in moderation, and Dave’s killer bread and mock meats😊👍💪🌱🥗 if you’re really desperate you can drink a vegan protein shake with soy milk😂🏋🏼♀️
Obesity and overconsumption is a growing issue around the worlds, people must lose weight.
@@esikazemese not everyone must lose weight, obviously. Also, it seems like you haven't seen many videos from Abbey. But that's besides the point, I was saying that I like that, although she is a non-diet dietitian, she talks about weight loss and how folks can achieve it without harmful dieting because she supports body autonomy. Some non-diet dietitian refuse to.
love your shirt!! very pretty :) also super useful video, thanks Abbey!
Glad to always see sensible tips that give points for people trying to gain weight not just loose and recognise that not everyone is trying to decrease calories. Alot of smart info too about how our bodies adapt to decreased calories however that materialised. thank you x
Abbey, I love the truth that you teach. Thank you!
I love your videos! Thank you for making them
i always learn so much from you! and this one was perfectly timed for my journey right now :)
I haven’t even watched yet but THANK YOU, ABBEY! This is exactly what I need. When I eat, I think WWAD?
I truly appreciate the information you share being supported by research studies. Balance is key to everything in life. Thank you so much for your UA-cam content and website!
You are so welcome🥰 always here to support my community
Great video! Thanks for all these tips.
Of course thanks for watching🥰🥰
so useful. thank you!
I've been calorie counting now for about a year and 65 lbs down. My dr wanted me on ozempic but I refused because the possible side effects just didn't seem worth it to me. Calorie counting has been the only way I've been able to get my weight under control while also improving my type 2 diabetes. The goal is to one day not have to weigh my food because eventually I'll learn the proper size portions for my bodies needs. I'm an individual who could never eat intuitively because thats what helped me get to the size I am now 😂
Calorie counting doesn't work for me but I know it's a learning tool that works for some people!
It works for me. I’ve lost 7 kg in 13 weeks which gets me to my goal weight just by counting my calories and being disciplined. I’m post menopausal and it worked perfectly well. Losing weight is not rocket science. It’s hard because it requires consistency and discipline. But it’s not complicated.
I calorie count too. Right now I've lost about 16lbs but this isn't my first time around.. I previously lost over 40lbs before i fell off which had more to do with going through some hormonal changes that drastically changed my appetite than the counting. I will say i find the idea of having to weigh and measure everything i eat for the rest of my life pretty depressing but one thing i do is I focus my counting on high calorie density food and don't sweat the small stuff. For instance I measure my cheese (or just get it in single serving packs so it's measured for me!) because I know that is something I can easily go overboard on, but I don't measure spinach or zucchini. As far as I'm concerned if it's a non starchy veggie/ fruit and isn't high fat like avocado or coconut.. it's basically free calories because I'm never going to be able to eat so much of it at once it's going to add up to anything!
@@AbbeysKitchenCalorie counting doesn’t work for you because you’ve never had to lose weight and you also have a restrictive ED background. You need to take yourself out of the equation if you actually want to provide useful information to a large audience.
The reality this is what most people need to do in the beginning of their weight loss journey. You cannot go from constantly overeating to eating intuitively over night. It takes a long time to unlearn old habits and for our body to adjust to whole new lifestyle.
Great video!!
Oh my gosh I'm obsessed with your blouse I've been trying to find it on Amazon while you're talking where did you buy that it's absolutely gorgeous!!
As a diabetic, ozempic is very interestig to me. The possible weight loss is just a perk. I am more concerned about the long term benefits of managing my blood sugar.
Hi Abbey! Do you think you could make a video focusing only on what diet culture is and what its implications are? I know that you do mention it a lot throughout your content, but I feel like one simple diet culture 101 video would be beneficial for people who are let's say not yet on a certain level of understanding how diets, nutrition and all that works. Because there are still people who take great pride in being on a diet or not consuming certain foods, and for them most of your videos would probaby be too advanced to understand. I hope this makes sense 😄 Love your content and your energy! 🤩
I find myself eating when I am not hungry out of mm how to call it, nutrition greed? Like ohhh let me get some more fiber, some more fat, when I am not hungry. Then when I’m hungry I want to keep it balanced so I add a lot more calories to have more protein and fiber e en though in the context of weight loss their goal is to keep me full. Does anyone know what I mean??
I definitely do!!😮 Someone else like me!!,
Yesss we are not alone!
I know what you mean! It happened to me when I was trying to recover from my ED, it was a way to reassure me into thinking that any food was a good food bcs it always had something nutritious :) Now I just understood that I can eat intuitively bcs precisely every food has macros, so even if my macros aren’t perfect it won’t have that much of an impact since balance is made on the long run 😊
I relate to this so much! I’ve started to focus on nutrition more recently which means I’ve been adding more foods into my diet and meals. So I’ve been overeating without really realising because I thought it was ‘healthier’ but it’s probably caused a bit of weight gain..
Abbey WTF YOUR POWDER IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE 3rd party review had to say girl please there’s plenty on the market better and cheaper !
I appreciate these videos. I will say I lost almost 80 pounds taking a phentermine topiramate combo but of course gained it all back when I stopped. Although I do want to lose weight, I really just want to be healthier and create those healthy habits for sustainability. Everyone else on this platform provides some unhealthy dangerous tips (which I have tried). You provide facts and explain in a very dumbed down way that I needed! Thank you, thank you!
My ultimate game changer was brain retraining. Tracking every negative thought and stress in my body and reset it. I am never craving, overeating or grazing since i am doing this.
I feel like I can eat SO much more that my body wants. I rarely feel fullness. I’ve been reading and trying to apply intuitive eating and fullness but I never feel that sensation. I don’t know what to do about that
But do you feel hungry? I've found sometimes I get in A weird zone where I feel like I feel nothing from my stomach. I think it comes from having a really weird snacking day and never quite getting full and never quite getting hungry. But then I do think over the course of the whole day I'm over eating a lot. I think what helps is starting fresh the next day with a really balanced breakfast and then waiting until I feel true hunger before eating again.
A lack of fullness is usually due to insulin resistance. Would be worth looking into that.
Part of the process of learning to eat intuitively is biological reconditioning to actually get back the hunger and fullness cues we have from dieting, restricting, or just ignoring them. I wish Abby would talk about this more. Also if you have leptin resistance, you're not going to feel hunger and fullness cues. Leptin resistance is one of the things the GLP1 meds work on (and why it changes people's appetites.)
I don’t know if this information is useful to you, but I had the exact same experience when I was on an SSRI. Once I came off I could finally return to normal and eat intuitively. I understand that’s not possible for everyone though.
Great video 🎉
Hey Abbey! Can you do a video on the carnivore diet? (A short term specifically 30 day effort to alleviate symptoms).
Could you speak on people who have had bariatric surgery? I received mine in December 2023 and I would like your thoughts on nutrition after having these procedures.
thank you for this, does it all apply with PCOS?
13:50 min And again you are not mentioning the SEITAN as low-calorie plant protein source. Seitan is so high in protein, so low in fat. You can make it easily at home. For the same calorie-content (100 kcal), you get 20 grams of protein from seitan, 17 grams from chicken (skinless), 14 grams from wild salmon, and only 6 grams from yoghurt (made from whole milk, as you always say don't chose the low-fat versions!). Never mentioning that animal protein does not contain any fiber, is also a big miss.
Your take on weight loss it’s refreshing.
My husband is going for cardiac bypass in the next month and I have been showing your videos to him . He has lost weight but I am afraid he will gain it back eventually. Has an added challenge I believe he needs to cut down on on the animal protein. I am not sure what your opinion on this subject is but I know you are not vegetarian but I have noticed you make an effort to reduce the amount of meat. I am a flexitarian. I’ll eat fish every once in a while, some cheese and eggs( which I do every day).
Meat rarely( Thanksgiving, Christmas, or when no other options are available). I otherwise don’t cook meat. Prioritizing proteins its just really hard.
Can you talk about vegetarianism in one of your videos?
Thank you.
So out of curiosity, stimulating the vagus nerve can bring the mind/body messages of safety in times of distress. Is this how a binge-cycle can develop for someone? Eating = feeling better, when actually eating is stimulating the VN?
I know this is unrelated to the rest of the video but just waged to mention I’ve gotten to LMNT sample pack recently and it’s just 4 flavors (I think watermelon, citrus, raspberry and orange). Still delicious and worth it but not all 8 flavors they offer:) Just thought I’d throw it out there to avoid any disappointment 😁 Unless they’ve changed it in the last month or so. I really want to try the mango chili one
This is why I've been throwing in a lot of kale and spinnach in my meals. It's cheap, it's got a low calorie density and pretty much any seasoning goes with it.
This is so true. When I started cooking all my meals, I discovered that I could feel full, but with less calories. I dropped 20 lbs without dieting… while having the occasional burger/pizza
im starting to do this now (cook all my meals). in the last past five days to be exact. glad to hear it worked for you , that is encouraging :D
Interesting! I am at the end of my breastfeeding journey but my appetite stays the same (last time I got a few kg back that I would like to avoid this time). I am now exploring the calorie densities of my meals and how long it keeps me full
this is exactly why where i'm cutting calories i'm always looking for ways to bulk out my meals with low calorie veg
I am diabetic and Ozempic has really helped me control my accuchecks and HGbA1C. Don’t think should be used for weight loss. Lots of other things.
I’ve cut out simple carbs three weeks ago bar one biscuit a day and a little Nutella (big improvement from what I was eating). I haven’t lost weight but my satiety levels have changed dramatically.
I have been on Ozempic for almost a year and have lost 15% but have been plateauing. So I recently made a point of making a point of following your suggestion of making protein, fiber and fats a priority when I eat and I am shocked by how quickly I feel full.
Abby, I enjoy your video's but I have a suggestion and or comment. I am older and nothing but nothing seems to work for losing the extra weight about my belly. I'm in my 70's and have been thin all of my life. Due to IBS-D issues I can't eat a lot vegetables or fruit like I use to. I am health conscious and have been for years. But age and the IBS are a big issue. Any thoughts on why? Oh and I love that top you are wearing. Some say the belly weight is different from other weight but if I can't eat like they recommend - load up on leafy greens veg and fruit - then what does a person due?
I just gotta say the Wendy’s cobb salad is actually great haha! my husband stops at Wendy’s pretty often and I have him grab me one basically every time! the apple pecan salad is delicious too!
So I’m a woman 165 cm and 62 kg weight. I used to weigh around 6-7kg less and try to lose some weight. Maybe at least 3-5 kg. I eat 3 whole food meals per day, overnight oats with quark and berries, lentils stews, home cooked grilled chicken and the like. If I eat like this plus a fruit a day I eat around 1600-1700 kcal per day. However, I dont seem to lose weight. Some days, I eat a small cupcake/ice cream or such but never binge. I walk/bike a couple km per day and go climbing once per week. But I’m still stuck. and I dont want to restrict all sugar intake or like never have one cookie once in a while
Your shirt is cute as heck 😃
IIFYM (if it fits your macros) became a thing from Alan Aragon. People kept on asking him if they could eat this, if they could eat that, and his response was always "if it fits your macros". It did not mean you just eat only junk, it was more of an "everything is okay to eat, if it fits your goals" because it was during yet another period of people being scared of eating certain foods. At the time, it was very freeing for people who were told to be afraid of eating certain things. These guys are in the fitness world where it can get hugely regimented to an extreme.
We are now in another era of people literally being scared of all foods. Meat, veggies, convenience foods, fruit, grains, etc--no matter what it is, there's a bunch of people profiting off of fear mongering.
It's freaking ridiculous.
Well usually they had guidelines like certain amounts of protein, fiber, I know two servings of fruits and veggies was a rule as well, and that was a way to get in fiber and micronutrients. I don’t think most who were successful on iifym really ate whatever they want. That’s more calorie counting
@@Disneymagic24 right, most who were successful had reasonable diets and didn't go gung ho on the the low volume caloric crap. It's been long touted in the fitness world to bulk the plate up with lower calorie dense foods to help with hunger.
80/20 is the general rule of thumb, unless you were hard-core body building in contest prep.
Iifym itself was never meant as a diet, it was just Alan's response.
Calorie counting is the king of weight loss. Enjoying the journey with foods that satisfy and are healthful, along with increased movement of any kind- and emotional regulation without food is the way to keep things off, and to sustain weight loss. I think we’re a culture that self soothes and entertains with food and screens too much, myself included and it’s just bad for overall wellness.
The ozempic shots helped but I had extreme nausea and had to get a rx for that. Stopped after 8 months.
Dear Abbey, I love your videos. And I need them too. I am a dietitian myself and beyond inspiration, I also appreciate the science behind every video you put together. I do have a complaint though - I have ADHD and my mind gets stuck on the lipstick mark on your mugs all the time. The amount of mental effort to ignore it and focus on content is huge. Please please ask your editors to edit the mark out. Admiration and respect to the work you do!
I cut back on my red wine. It helps but also it made my gut very irregular. Although I do love my red wines! lol
Hi Abby- I am in recovery from binge eating and am on zepbound to help me relearn habits and lifestyle. I also have a ton of history with food/ nutrition science. My question is how do I best honor my calorie needs without panicking over the volume (or lack there of)?
I recommend reading The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet book by Donald Henrud. The book teaches how to measure carbs, fat and protein calories in food so you can lose weight. You can also use this process to gain weight. The book recommends nonstarchy vegetables and a serving of fruit with every meal. This book taught me how to eat to lose weight and keep it off. Can't recommend it enough.
I’ve struggled with “veggie loading” and found I’m honestly afraid to stop and switch to more calorically dense foods even though theoretically they’d help with my (major) bloating from eating so much veg. Is the hunger/ not feeling full/ satiated something I’m going to have to get used to to get to a more normal diet?
As someone who is recovering from 11 years of an eating disorder and a poor relationship/fear of certain foods, I always kinda get the feeling that Ozempic was pushed with a very poor narrative on being able to lose weight fast without effort.
I hate to be the beacon of truth here, but the only way you will ever lose weight “fast without effort” is by literally torturing yourself and ultimately wasting your muscles away because you won’t eat ENOUGH. I have been in the hospital under nutritional support to understand how FAST your fat AND your whole body will wither if you go the “get slim quick” route. The scale and its dropping numbers may look like you’re looking into a mermaids mirror, but healthy eyes will only see and hear sirens.
Please, don’t forsake your body for perfection. Perfection can kill, and it can kill fast. And you won’t even know it until the penny finally drops.
Where can I get this shirt
I think you’ve mentioned the contestants of the Biggest Loser had significantly decreased metabolic rate even years later.
So, yeah, metabolic rate is probably not the primary factor for the average American, but could be for those with chronic dieting or EDs or low lean mass.
I got a DEXA scan a couple months before relapsing into my ED and a couple months after. My BMR dropped from 1400 to 1050!! I also lost 5 pounds of lean muscle mass.
Those with a history should consider recovering metabolic health before doing further damage with restriction.
Interesting - thank you. I will look deeper into this.
@@anerley123 I actually really highly recommend Miss Fit and Nerdy’s channel. She has videos on reverse dieting and a healthy relationship with food
I love Abbey’s shirt in this video!
Nope. I have a slew of food allergies and I have fructose malabsorption. If I ate a huge salad, my brain would be still looking for something. Calorie density doesn't work for me. I eat a normal size of rice or potato with a human portion of animal protein and I'm satisfied. Beans don't fill me up. Eggs never filled me up... and now I'm allergic so I don't eat it.
Allergies: dairy, wheat, oats, barley, rye, eggs, soy, berries, cucumber, carrots, onions. And garlic.
No fruits and fruit like "veggies". So, no tomatoes, squashes, avocado, and sweet potatoes.
I can only eat greens. All leafy greans and MUST be cooked. No honey, agave, molasses, and artificial sweeteners. I only have cane sugar and stevia.
Everyone is different.
How often should a person take electrolyte supplements? I usually only take them when I feel dehydrated.
Curious as to why weight loss has become such a strong focus for your channel? I started following a few years ago, and I so appreciated your focus on intuitive eating, overall well-being and critique of diet culture and wellness trends. I know you respect body autonomy, which is fair, but I feel like this type of content has really grown and supplanted the intuitive eating and anti-diet culture content.
I domesticate feral cats and I have had a lot of animals over my lifetime. I can tell you that even if I restrict food (using timed feeders) for these animals and try to increase their activity, the ones that starved tend to be obese for the rest of their lives. The ones raised with free feeding with no periods of starvation usually are lean or maybe the slightest bit overweight. To me this screams evidence that starvation at any point will make your body very likely to store fat in the future regardless of any "tips and tricks" you use to try to counteract it. As someone who was starved in childhood, this is a little discouraging but at least I am vindicated that I am not just a horrible person (like society has taught me) because I struggle with weight.
What to do if you absolutely hate avocados? I'm also not a big fan of nuts or seeds.
What about keeping your normal, balanced meals, but eating smaller portions? Would that work?
I’m trying to help my son to lose weight without feeling deprived while, at the same time, also learning healthy lifestyle habits. I thought a smaller plate of what we already eat would do the trick, since I cook almost all of our foods from scratch and try to include at least three or four servings of vegetables per day (I haven’t managed to reach five, unless you include fruit).
If you "cut portions" all that means is that the person will no longer be eating to fullness. Not good. It's much better to offer nutritious meals and let the child's body guide how much they eat. If your child is still a minor, restricting portions is also linked with the child ending up bigger as an adult and more likely to have an ED.
RE the sponsor: bananas are great for muscle cramps. Get that potassium in you! My mum, a nurse told me this, after I had a leg cramp at university at 3 am. Unfortunately the supermarket or greengrocers weren't open at 3 am
Side note your color choices for your wardrobe lately has been really nice on you!
What do you feel about hummus ?
I just woke up and I read this as "What do you feel about humans?" and I was like that's...an interesting question lol
what happens when you take calorie density/volume eating to the extreme? like, i’m basically terrified of any foods with fat in them now because they don’t feel “worth it” in terms of food per calorie. now i’ve ruined my digestive system by only eating raw produce, oatmeal, and fat free yogurts
hawking supplements? :(
What if you’re never hungry? I have mental health issues and I’ve lost all hunger cues and when things get bad nothing tastes right.
Sounds like you may have gone back and read John McDougall‘s “Starch Solution,” or the much earlier Dean Ornish book, Eat More Weight Less. Or maybe anything from the various Talking Heads in forks over knives. And I know you’ve made some videos in the past of “healthy Emmy, “high carb Hannah… all of which mention satiety and its relationship to stomach fullness. My own personal experiences having made that change few times over decades, it that it really was the only way I’ve ever had significant weight loss, (and significant lowering of blood pressure and LDL cholesterol) and felt great the whole time doing it. But unfortunately, there was some continental drift back towards higher fat (errr, density) healthy foods like avocado, nuts, and seeds, etc. So I’d be curious if there’s a follow up on merging whatever current ideas there are about more satiating, heart healthy foods, yet lower density. I’m almost 60 year old with a heart problem history… So I wouldn’t want to be mixing in saturated meat and dairy… But I can’t eat only potatoes and Zucchini either… Thanks again for what you do.
Maybe I should’ve watched until the end on my second time through, when you mentioned more about protein. But still, Again, I wanna avoid saturated fat for sure. And when I introduce nut butters, and the like, for more protein, it tends to slow weight loss down or stop it. Oh well, welcome to middle age I guess. Thanks again for what you do.
My dietitian told me LMNT is only safe and appropriate for endurance athletes because it has so much sodium. 🤨
Doing god's work!
Off topic, but I recently saw a UA-camr named JeffJuices who claimed that oil, salt, and herbs/spices are bad now. Sensational claims without evidence. Has he been reviewed before?
Could you do a video on “em the nutritionists” she uses a lot of ultra processed ingredients and people trust her food to be 100% healthy. Drives me crazy! She’s not a nutritionist, she’s an influencer
Dual citizenship 😆👍 love this name
DO NOT TAKE DRUGS! EAT SATIATING FOODS THAT ARE LOW CALORIE! It is that simple… I promise you, count calories and incorporate protein and fiber (high in satiation) and keep the calories low enough for 4-6 meals a day, ie my day is A Keto Chicken Club, Turkey and Rice for my Pre-Workout, a Low Calorie Burger Bowl for Post workout, and whatever low cal meal prep for dinner this week for me is a 500 calorie Philly Cheesesteak Mac and Cheese and I can still have a protein shake anytime in the day to hit my daily goal, (protein is not just important for muscle gain when you lose weight you don’t want your body attacking your protein in your muscles or ORGANS) take care yall
For me weight loss were impossible without drugs. I have a pcos and even on calorie deficit I saw zero result and was hungery all the time.
I experienced a feeling of satiety in my first 30s and only thanks to medication.
Oh are you a menopausal woman? No? Well when you are and youve piked on30lbs due to your hormones come back and say that!
I'm trying to do the calorie deficit but this is my issue - I eat a fair sized meal but I wind up ravenously hungry within 30 minutes of eat and I Don't Know Why!? It's not every time, but it's frequent enough it makes me insane. Like, wtf am I missing from my meals that I can't get the hunger signal to shut up? Because I am full but not satiated.
are you adding protein? fat? fibre/ volume? Watch this full video, lots of good tips!!
I use to have this same problem! I try to add in more protein, eat slower and drink more water during my eating and of course continue drinking it after my meal as well. I found that helped a lot. Of course everyone is different. It will take some time to get use to as well for a deficit. when your body gets so use to consuming a certain amount I find it craves it. I am not too sure how long you have been doing the deficit but I find it took me about a month to feel full and stay full.
If this is a frequent issue for you, you should probably talk to a health care professional (your family doctor / a dietician). They should know your health journey and be able to give you some tips that work for you.
I have this issue too. I’ve found in my health journey, that protein is not my bodies macro. It’s fat. I really have to get more fat into each meal for me to not only be satiated, but stop mindless snacking. I want to be a high protein girly (I work out a lot) but my body loves fat. You may have to play around with macros to find the one that works for you.
@@TheTdavey Protein doesn't have much effect on my hunger either. Every time I come across someone else who feels the same way I feel like we should start a club. Lean proteins leave me tearing through my kitchen.
A Wendy’s Cobb salad is 430 cals. Four chicken nuggets is 170. If you’re going to make a comparison get your facts straight. Your whole brand is supposed to be “no BS” but you spew almost nothing but BS.
Also, your aversion to red meat and preference for highly processed protein sources (like protein shakes) is extremely misinformed. Lean red meat is good source of vitamin B12 and zinc and can be included as part of a balanced diet. 100g of extra lean beef mince has 132 calories whilst 100g of chicken breast has 165 so this isn’t an issue of calories. It seems this is one of your fear foods as you always seem to favour processed meat options like chicken sausages over it.
Also, for those wanting to gain weight, swapping out whole grains for fried foods or whole fruits for fruit juices is terrible advice.
The calorie numbers she gave are literally the same as what is listed on the Wendy’s online menu right now.
@@safelanding29 no they’re not. The Cobb salad is 420 calories without dressing and 670 with dressing. Four chicken nuggets have 190 calories. Yes, there is a slight discrepancy between that and my original comment as those figures were from a nutrition website. Regardless, they are much closer to the BS numbers Abbey was pulling out of her ass.
Isn’t she explaining Noom?
Girl, you just said in like 10 other videos that volumetrics doesn’t work, and now you’re supporting it! Confusing AF!

Hi, can you tell me where your beautiful blouse is from
Are you a paid spokesperson for ozempic?
This is unrelated to your video, but can you address how intuitive eating might not be right for everyone? I practiced intuitive eating for about 18 months. I learned important concepts like appreciating my body at any size and losing my fear of certain foods. I also gained 35 pounds, developed fatty liver, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, high blood sugar, and sleep apnea. The hardcore intuitive eating fans would say that I need to adjust my diet and losing weight isn't the answer. But that's not true. I would not have developed sleep apnea and started developing metabolic syndrome if I hadn't gained all the weight. And weight loss is the answer to these conditions. I feel like I have to choose between 2000s diet culture and anti-diet dreamland. The reality is in the middle, but I wish I had more guidance with losing weight and not feeling like I'm turning my back on loving my body.
I hope Abbey answers your question. She's done a video on the topic of intuitive eating iirc, so please check that one out.
What you've said reminds me so much of eating disorder recovery. I mean the type of recovery (speaking from experience from the group I was in) where you're supposed to meet certain kcal and nutrient goals, but then usually extreme hunger kicks in and in most cases it's encouraged to listen to your hunger and cravings.
We were informed about weight gain during this process. iirc the average amount of weight people would gain above their normal healthy weight range was said to be 10%, and then it was said the weight that was gained would be lost again within 3 years without dieting )and if this didn't happen, it was unusual and a sign that something wasn't going as it should). Almost everyone in the group was like "yeah, I'm going to gain so much weight I'll be 300lbs and it will never come off". I don't know what happened exactly with the other people in the group 3 years later. My weight gain was almost exactly the average (to my surprise!) and was lost without dieting about 1.5 years after the start of the program.
It wasn't exactly the same as the original intuitive eating method that Abbey explains in her video, but a lot of things were the same. Like addressing fear foods, not calorie counting, checking in with your satiety signals, eating what you crave, but also the part about "gentle nutrition".
Losing the excess weight gained during recovery is attributed to physical factors such as normalization of metabolism (which was suppressed during long term restriction) and hormone health. I actually think there's another major factor involved, that I wasn't informed about in the group, and that's that once you're used to no longer restricting and no longer moralizing food, most likely food just becomes a lot less interesting than it was before unless when you're really really hungry.
Eating junk food when I was heavily restricting was a very stimulating experience for me, it tasted amazing. Now when I eat junk food it's disappointing almost every time. But a perfectly ripe orange or mango is still really amazing.
This wasn't meant to invalidate anything you've shared. I believe there are cases where intuitive eating just doesn't work. I heard about someone in my recovery group still not having any reliable hunger and satiety signals months in.
Metabolic syndrome is caused by insulin resistance not weight gain. Weight gain is just another side effect of metabolic syndrome and not the cause. It's actually very common to develop IR after restricting your diet. Can you get your fasting insulin tested? There are treatments out there for IR.
And all of these things developed after I gained a substantial amount of weight, with no history of high blood sugar in the past. Saying that it's untrue that certain diseases are caused by weight gain is false and unscientific. Fatphobia should not exist. Body shaming should not exist. But I'm going to lose weight to get my health in a good place again. @@lynncrf
@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 Thanks for the reply. All of the negative health effects scared me too much to continue. I don't want to play chicken with my health while waiting for overshoot to come off, which is definitely not guaranteed anyways.
@@emilyvolkamer304 I understand you thought it wasn't worth the risk. I didn't develop any problems aside from the expected temporary symptoms such as refeeding edema. But it was incredibly difficult mentally, not knowing when it would end, being told to just "trust the process".
Have you found a plan that suits your needs?
Should I trust the lady who posits as an expert but mispronounces plethora and phentermine within the first 5 minutes..? Idk.
Here is the only tip you need to lose weight: HIGH PROTEIN + WALKING. No alcohol also helps. That’s literally it
why your palms are so yellow ?
I just found her channel recently and immediately noticed the yellow/orange color of her hands. It's a real distraction for me too.
lol… a chubster telling us how to lose weight 😂😂😂😂
The foul language is so degrading to this presentation and not lady like at all. So sad to see this type of lack of manners, professionalism and class becoming main stream.
This is an antiquated and unnecessary way of thinking about words YOU might not use. To say it isn’t lady like is to say that ONLY men can use curse words language. Bad manners? I disagree. These words are not bad manners. They’ve existed in our world in every language for thousands of years.
Because it isn’t what you would use, you demoralize the user. This boosts your own image in the world. You think.
They are just words. If you don’t like them, move along. She is doing just fine.
Aaaalso- they were bleeped out. You didn’t hear any of them.
@@Coffee-Makeup-Stationary"not lady-like"...yikes! It's sad that we would ever tell a person that their gender dictates how they have to act. Imagine where females would be today if they only acted under your anitiquated definition of "lady-like" 🙄
