My Mom's Childhood Diet vs. Mine [How We Were Influenced] Food For Thought
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Here my mom Liz & I chat about our differences in upbringing & how she ate as a child, versus my childhood diet and upbringing. It's interesting to look back and see the differences, and now see how we were influenced back then by either our parents, culture, advertising, health agencies or even school.
This video is part of fun little new series called FOOD FOR THOUGHT. My mom Liz has made a lot of changes to her health, diet and lifestyle over the last year and she created a youtube channel here @travelingcarnivores to share her experiences. If you want to see more, please subscribe to her channel!

Your mom is awesome. If she starts to annoy you, send her over to me; I'm minus a mum and looking for a substitute. Plus, I have a whole hat-stand full of crazy hats she can wear.
Awww thank you! I'm sharing her with you. You must supply the crazy hats though. :) 💛 Sorry about your mum. And, thank you for checking out our little chat video here. I hope you have a good weekend! 🙏
@@LifeDIY No problem - crazy hats are my thing. I wouldn't be so selfish as to steal her, though, you need her close. One day, I'd be fascinated to read about your woo-woo out-of-body-experience, but you've just entered the chattering stage that follows immediately after you release a video, and suddenly twenty strangers are talking to you, all at once. So I shall leave you to do the gracious hostess thing that you do so well. You have a good weekend too, Holly. 🙂
Duck fat is also great for making popcorn! I'm glad we (as a society) are challenging the notion of "fats are bad" and being more meticulously critical of refined carbohydrates and inflammatory foods & ingredients. Great video and your mom is the coolest - hope you have more of these conversations with her!
Brandon, thank you so much! I hope my mom sees your comment. And that is such a great idea to use duck fat in the popcorn. I am a huge fan of duck fat and use it when I make eggs. I totally agree with you about society finally waking up and challenging what we have been taught. I want to do more videos like this and also a video sharing more details on the history of our US dietary guides and recommendations. They are pretty eye-opening.
You're very fit, Holly, and that woman in Thailand was so wrong to say what she said.
Thank you for saying that. :) I was 16 or 17 at that time and teenagers can be insecure with things. I don't have any negative feelings towards that lady but we weren't close. I am lucky that with the exchange program, I got to live with three different families. I was much closer with another family. Thai people are super friendly. With her, I think she treated me the same way she treated her daughter. She was very comfortable with being that blunt with me.
Yeah when you showed your picture back then thought you looked perfect. My buddy has a Thai girlfrind and yes they are too direct. Glad it didnt bother you.
Loved this! Crazy the study about bread
Thanks Kerry!!! I really want to talk about that in another video. Real crazy stuff! I love learning about the history of that.
Bacon grease in coffee…I’m not that tough! 😂
Hahah! That's one step too far for me too. :))
I've just discovered your channel. Very interesting content. Also, sorry if this sound awkward, but you have one of the most beautiful face I've ever seen. Seems like this thai mom was just jaleous.
Wow, thank you! 🙏
hit up Ray Peat/ Danny Roddy when you come around to carbs.
sugar is what they eat in thailand.
I loved this video!!! You can tell you and your mom have a really strong relationship. I admire that. The idea of 12 silces of bread being ideal for weight loss baffles me.
Thanks so much, Ellie! 💮I am so happy you stopped by. I want to catch up on your videos too. I am so shocked about how much bread was recommended as a health food. I think they started adding vitamins to it at that time, to market it that way (and I don't think it's changed since then). I'd prefer it if the U.S. health agencies would just tell us that they have no clue what is healthy, stop making recommendations and admit they've misled us. But, I don't think that will ever happen. :)
You look like a fashion model! Loved this interview with you mom!
Wow, thank you Rhonda! 🙏 This was a fun video with my mom. :)
I used to eat GARBAGE as a teenager. Poptarts, chocolate milk, cookies, brownies, ice cream, and candy, candy, candy. Bleh, I feel gross just thinking of it. Probably the healthiest thing I ate was curly fries.😂😂😂 Surprisingly I wasn't obese, but I certainly had other health problems.
I live near a high school now where the kids can go off campus at lunchtime, so I see what they eat, and it's no better than what I ate twenty years ago. Donuts and boba tea and fries and vegan pizza.
Then we wonder why teenagers all have acne and depression. It's no mystery! Garbage input, garbage results.
Anyway, it was neat to spend time with your mom. Now you're a whole family of youtube celebrities!
Thanks! You brought back so many memories with your list of junk food you ate - the pop-tarts especially. Those were a favorite back then! And, it is also true about teens and their acne and junk food. Although some people love dairy, I think it also is a big contributor to the teen acne issues... maybe from all the hormones in it.
Great video! Growing up in the bush, breakfast for us was usually oatmeal with some sugar and fresh, raw full-fat cows milk too. Loads of meat for dinner though with vegetables harvested from the garden. It's great to see that your Mum has conducted her own research and altered her diet to be so much healthier in her later years - Go Mom! (and you also Holly).
Thank you for watching and for sharing some of your experiences, Rod! It's so interesting to hear about what people ate when growing up and how things have changed. For my mom, I never imagined she (or my brother) would be so into being healthy and making such a big change to their diets. It's awesome when people take charge of their health. I didn't talk much about this, but when I grew up we ate meals similar to what my mom described (meat and mashed potatoes and milk) up until I was 9 and my parents divorced and then things changed a lot. We're so in our own culture that it's hard to see how much we've normalized really unhealthy habits and foods (candy, soda, etc.) I think in the recent years people have become a lot more aware, and many people are taking charge of their health and majorly changing their diets. It's awesome to see it. I hope we can continue to hear other stories on UA-cam (I hope YT does not try to censor this stuff).
Interesting reflections Holly. I recall reading about sugar, and the law of being able to advertize as sugar free if it contained x amount of sugar, something like half of a gram, per X amount, and came across this info re TICTACS, i weighed 1 one day, and it was like .99 g;s, - crazy!!
It’s crazy how they’re allowed to market food like that...White bread has little nutritional value, but the claims on that poster!😲
I guess it comes from growing up in difficult times but my mum was also brought up to “clean up her plate”…She never made my sister and me do that, because she really thinks it caused her to have personal food issues as a young adult.
Has it improved today? Sadly junk food shops still rule the roost in our high streets.
Funny about where we used to get 'sucker/lollipops from...probably the dentist as well 😂Your mum looks well…I can now see where you get your lovely smile from.
Thanks, Joe! Yeah I agree about white bread. I think back in the day they also started adding vitamins, so that may be part of why it was marketed as a health food. That's good your mom never made you and your sister clean your plate. I think my mom did make me do that as a kid, up until a certain age. Junk food is everywhere! And, thanks for the nice comment about my mom. :)
@@LifeDIYAh, I didn’t know that about the vitamins added to the bread. Might’ve guessed they’d do something to make it the best thing since normal slice bread. lol
when I was a kid....... of course we had candy on friday evenings.....that's probably when I developed my "sweet tooth"....
Many years later, there was a time in my life when my weight was 50 lbs heavier than today 🥩🥩🥩
I found this you Holly for microneedling but there are so many fun and insightful video here! Thank you for your contents! Im Korean living in Seoul, Korea, and What I notice about obesity is there is one more factor comes in. I haven't been to the US but what I see is culture there is so much car-centric, which make you lead very sedentary life style let alone working sitting for 8 or more hours. I think the cultrue there is meant to make people get more weight. and Maybe genetics and the other things too, Asian tend to be silm and small in tersm of body structure, where as White tend to be bigger. Anyway Thank you for your video!
Full House, I recall that, it was even shown in Ireland ha. 😊 , yep, I always use Firefox to, but there is always that one thing that doesn't quite work on it.
Your mom did a great job! Just look in the mirror! Hope you are doing well :)
Holly, I really enjoyed your talk with your mother, I was born in the 70's and remember that decade with, margarine, engineered wheat and all those processed foods. Remember reading how Nixon in the 70's was trying to make food shortages a thing of the past and really issued in the junk food era with his policies on wheat. Omg, do any of you remember TV dinners? When the microwave came out how they changed to use that new appliance, how bad they were for you with a list of ingredients you couldn't even pronounce. Also do you remember Kool-aid, that little chemical/food coloring packet my mother would pour into a pitcher along with several cups of sugar and we were told it was good for us to drink. We grew up in an era of mass-produced candy. Growing up we had access to so many different types of candy and used to binge on it for a week straight after Halloween. My mother is no longer with us but I enjoyed your talk with your mom, please do more. Matt
Thank you so much, Matt! I definitely remember the yucky tv dinners I have had in the past. Plus, kool-aid and those fake orange juices that are frozen (pure sugar).
@LifeDIY Omg, I forgot about the fake sugary orange juice in the tube you had to put in a pitcher and add water. Mom always had those in the freezer growing up, no wonder she eventually got diabetes later in life.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
really amazing knowdlegebale video ..i was also growing on thinking or taught like that i want low fat diet ,, lost pounds of weight and gained back ..more hungry more weight gain ,,hormore imbalance
Thanks so much for watching!
Hey I absolutely love your channel. This video was so insightful and reminds me exactly of my childhood. Knowing what I know now I wouldn’t have eaten half of what I consumed regularly back then. It was crazy.
Wow, thank you for such a nice comment! I'm glad you can relate also. :)) It was such a different time.
I weight the same as her (her what?).
I weight the same as she (weight).
Hi Holly. I found your channel today. You are absolutely beautiful. Greetings from Scotland ❤
Wow, thank you! I'm happy you found my channel. Welcome! 🙏
Hello dear holly
Hey Bilal!
Ohh, got it now. It’s the consumption of all those candies that made you so sweet. 🙂😍❤️ 7:35
Hahah 😁
Holly, your video and comparison were fantastic! I'm eagerly anticipating your email about our collaboration. It's surprising to hear about your negative encounter with Thai people or colleagues; in my experience, they are generally polite and friendly. Perhaps it was just an isolated incident.
Thank you and I am sorry for my late reply! I will get back to you tomorrow. Regarding that Thai mom - it's ok. It wasn't that bad, just a memory now. I love Thailand - the people and culture (and food especially). I think Thai people are polite, and I also think if you know them well enough they can be quite blunt. I like that too. It reminds me of when you ask a kid for their advice or if you look ok and they say "No." Kids don't have a filter and just say what's on their mind. I feel like I experienced that a lot with my Thai friends and family there, once we knew each other well.
I'm jealous you're in Thailand, Jeri. Kittung Makk Makk. I miss it there.
@@LifeDIY Holly, no rush, take your time with your reply! I've been living in Thailand since 2016, and it's been an incredible experience. I had to return in 2020, but due to the pandemic and strict lockdowns here, I ended up staying longer. I then found another job, and I've been living here ever since. It's a unique and calming environment, quite laid-back, and I'm sure you're familiar with "Thai time." Initially, I was a bit frustrated with it, but now I find it interesting to embrace the casual and relaxed pace, although I promise I won't be late for our show! 😄 I absolutely love it here-the massages, aromatic Thai scents, Thai tea (Chakiew), and overall ambiance are wonderful. However, come January, I'll be heading to Scotland to conduct research on health nutrition as a data analyst.
This is really good, Holly. Keep up the great work. 💚
Thank you!
i like it how all diets, from back then and from today TOTALLY disregard the importance of activity or exercise 😂
this video's vibe is different all together🙂🙃🙂and yeah, the fat thing was hammered down in our heads up until recently. remember margerine ? ... well that was one of the few honest mistakes that were made regarding nutrition. turns out butter is actually better(as in : it's healthier) lol.
Great point about exercise and activity!!! That does play a big part in overall health and how you feel. 💪
If someone is trying to lose weight, I think diet is most important (just my opinion) but I think adding in more and more activity will help also - and make them feel better.
I hope the video vibe being different is a good thing as I want to make more videos like this! I had some technical issues, so I need to get better at using this software, but it was fun. I do remember Margarine - and eating it growing up. Butter is better for sure. But, since I can't have that, I will just use other natural animal fats. :)
@@LifeDIY hey hey😃 good afternoon, hope your sunday is ok. spooky season just around the corner🎃 and i wanted to order a nice hoodie for the occasion, luckily i saw the reviews and stopped before i ordered😂 awful merchandise, plastic not cotton, wrong sizes etc. so this is what i was doing in this very moment, lol.
back to butter and what not, i wonder if you can have clarified butter instead of butter ? like... use it in recipes and what not.
and yes a different video is always good, more of a ... vlog style + podcast😁
My 7 year old daughter still gets a sucker at the end of her Dr. appointment. It’s sugar free.🫢
Oh wow! I didn't know they still did that. :) When my son was little, the doctor would let him pick something out before leaving, but it was a sticker or little toy. :)
@@LifeDIY I was surprised by that as well! I guess since they’re sugar-free the Doctor’s Office justifies giving them out, lol. I’m pretty anti-sugar with my daughter so I’m already getting anxiety about the upcoming number 1 sugar holiday, Halloween. 👻🫣
Sugar free usually means artificial sweetener like the neurotoxin aspartame 🙈
