![If I Could Only Eat 10 Things For WEIGHT LOSS, I’d Choose These… [2024]](/img/tr.png)
1)Eat less sugar. The more you eat, the more you crave.
2)Good quality sleep
3)Eat enough protein (typically a gram per lb of your body weight, I’m 120 so I eat 120g of protein but I work out 5 days a week as well)
4) low sugar fruit. Stop eating high sugar fruits.
5)Healthy fats
Thank you. Saves me watching this video which I knew would state the obvious ie stop eating sugar.
@@susannefitzpatrick9955 yea stop eating all that fruit that is making everyone fat
Thank you
But she has bananers in the background. A high sugar, low nutrient fruit.
@@danielfox3003 natural sugar from fruit isn’t as bad for you than highly processed sugars. Bananas have a good micronutrient profile so idk what you mean by low nutrient. I would say only having one is okay because like you said, it has sugar.
I was a heroin addict for 25yrs & sugar was almost as hard to quit(psychologically). Smoking after 35yrs was a breeze compared to sugar. I was the "candy kid"(even into my 40's), I never ate anything healthy until 2 or 3yrs ago. Still, if there is sugar around it will be eaten!! Fast... Thanks for all the help, hope all is well.
Wow congratulations for overcoming addiction. That's truly incredible and you're an inspiration ❤️
This is such a dagerous myth to propagate.
@@PMishrastarlord Excuse me?? This isn't a myth, it was my experience... I am just relating my story & overcoming my personal addictions.
@@PMishrastarlord It’s been scientifically proven that sugar is almost as hard or just as hard PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY to quit as methamphetamines. It acts similarly in your brain.
@@crystalchili3823 that is categorically incorrect. Other than using caps lock, do you have any evidence whatsoever to back your claim? It's just ridiculous how many people believe that sugar "addiction" can come even close to meth addiction.
I got off sugar easily by targeting one type of food at a time. Soft drink first, sweet biscuits then, lollies...didn't take long.
It's such a freeing feeling being past sugar addiction and not being food-obsessed. Heavy carbs just make me constantly think about my next meal, versus now I am confident I won't be suddenly starving even if my next meal is a little later than planned. And I still have sugar/carbs when the occasion calls for it, but don't have trouble switching back to fat burning. Feel so much better this way!
YES! I agree, it's so much more freeing and flexible.
How did you do it?! (Please don't just say all the steps in the video nothing more nothing less... Lol)
@@NatsFan18 haha first step is get/keep the carby snacks out of the house! If I'm hungry between meals now I reach for cheese, nuts, boiled eggs, or smoked salmon. For me another big one was learning to like unsweetened coffee, or at least less-sweetened. My go-to drinks are now more coffee- forward than milky.
What helped me
1. More protein and fat helped me
2. There are a lot of sweeteners and we can make chocolate or whatever without sugar or with sweeteners
3. I drink tea.
4. Coffee with a taste of desserts without sugar.
And I didn't eat fruits and sugar for 3 months, after that, I started to be more sensitive to sweets
This is helpful but it’s good to watch the vid because there’s amazing explanations and reasons and more info on carbs to sugars etc ❤
I'm kinda surprised to not hear about drinking more water. I agree with a lot of your tips but I think not drinking enough water is a huge one too. That one makes a huge difference for my general hunger and cravings throughout the day
Hi! I shared a video earlier this year with why I don't generally recommend drinking more water when hungry here: ua-cam.com/video/V0D4rnpKOWI/v-deo.html
"Eat more protien" is absolutely on point! Just 4 boiled eggs for my 1st meal helps me feel satisfied & I literally don't get any food cravings! I blend unflavoured marine collagen, bloomed gelatin, milk/water, frozen banana & blueberries, steamed sweet potato, instant oats & cacao for my 2nd & final meal. 8 hours of sleep & 20 hours fasting daily with 30 minutes 4kg kettle ball & 6kg dumbells exercises keep me in the best shape & mood!
I like the 20 hr fast too.
Amazing 🤩
so all you eat is a smoothie and 4 boiled eggs a day? :O
That sounds bizarre.
sounds obsessive. what if you travel?
Hi. I was pre diabetic last year. Now I’m not. I don’t not eat sugar or fast foods during the week. Only Saturday and Sunday. I don’t want to give up on sweets 💯 but this has helped me a lot. I eat clean during the week.
Sounds like a sensible approach!!
Hi, I am a sugar addict and I eat fast food and junk food also. I need to eat better and get rid of my sugar craving because I'm pretty sure I am pre diabetic. How did you start your process?
Easy to cut sugars when it makes your arthritis pain worse! But really in the end it comes down to self control!
Oh man… SUGAR! I was a chai tea/vanilla latte monster! Thank you Autumn for guiding me away from sugar. You really helped me✌️❤️🌼
I love your common sense approach. Thank you. I fight my sugar addiction. But I’m improving.
This is where I am. I wanna stop the cravings to just feel better, thanks great advice!!! I do feel better eating less "bad" sugar.
This is a fantastic tips video, it seems i can’t combat my sugar cravings but will definitely incorporate these recommendations. Thanks, Autumn!
Sugar is my weakness. Still have cravings, but doing better than I used to. Increased protein and healthy fats helped. Just made the yummy pumpkin chili this past weekend. I also made a soup using that bone broth. This is one of my favorite channels. I never miss a video. Thank you, Autumn!
I'm in the middle of this right now just started (again) OMAD intermittent fasting, but this time focusing on getting my protein high, my carbs moderate.and you are right, if you focus on getting enough protein you will have no room in your stomach for sugar. It is a much easier way to do it than quitting sugar cold turkey and just trying to simply willpower your way through quitting table sugar, which I've done in the past, it's awful
There is no harm in eating fruits with higher sugar. It's never caused me to crave sugar. Plus sugar in fruit comes packaged with essential nutrients and minerals important for good health.
"Soup"er advice! 💗😌 Detoxing sugar is hard but after 3 weeks I already felt so much better and the cravings were basically gone. It's magical 😆
How hard would you say it is on a scale of 1 to 10?
@@PraveenSriram I would say it's 7.5 at first, only because it's an all day challenge to say no to sugar initially. If you get enough protein,like Autumn says, it brings that 7.5 down to like a 2, but if you're just trying to quit cold turkey, it's hard to tell yourself no over and over. It is a challenge, BUT 100% doable and manageable and after ab 21 days the cravings really do fade away. Anyway, I believe you, me, anyone can do it and I believe everyone has will power! Best of luck 💗💗💗
What got me off of sugar and carbs was my CGM. Seeing what happened to my blood sugar after I ate something was amazingly helpful. They should be over the counter. Now I am mostly ketovore and my HgbA1C was 5.3 when I had it measured yesterday. I still want to get it down a little more. My skin has cleared up, no more adult acne and I lost 80 lbs....
After years of struggling, I finally realized I was actually a full-blown sugar addict, and I broke my addiction by dropping all carbohydrates "cold turkey."
I switched to the "carnivore" diet and have never looked back.
I went into serious sugar withdrawals for about a week - everything you'd expect an addict in withdrawals to experience: headache, mood swings, sudden and intense cravings, tiredness, etc.
I also got diarrhea for 11 days. I thought something was wrong with the diet, but learned that this is totally normal for people who aren't used to eating that much animal protein and fat. Eventually my body adjusted and everything went back to normal.
Like I said, it took about one week to go through the physical withdrawal symptoms.
But it took another two weeks for the psychological and emotional symptoms to fade away. I had anxiety about how my social life would be affected. I was sad about how not eating carbs would impact my family traditions. I kept have very, _very_ intrusive thoughts about how I could probably get away with just a little treat here and there because I deserved it. All sorts of those things.
But I stuck with it and all of it went away. It's been about half a year and now I can sit with my friends as they eat after-meal sweets, and I won't have any desire to try a bite.
Sugar is an addictive chemical that comes from plants. All addictive chemicals come from plants - sugar, caffeine, nicotine, cocain, opium, etc.
My life has been so much better since I cut out plants and carbs, and focused on animals protein and fat.
(Plus I lost 30 pounds in three months)
I notice on Mediterranean Keto, that my skin really is healthy and clear. I thrive when low carb.
Same here

I need to work on a couple of these…thank you Autumn! Great video content always.
Just love your educated practical approach when sharing your tips. Thank You!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for keeping it short and sweet.
This is such a straightforward and easy to understand video. Thanks a lot, I have a huge struggle coming away from junk food particularly sugar, but my continuous back and chin acne is getting me down now, I need to change how much I consume so my skin can finally heal and not be inflamed.
Thank you for these tips! I feel like I already knew these things, but you put it so simply that it will help me remember them throughout the day. 😎👍
I had a similar type family, very few sweets, desserts, sodas, etc. I too ate a lot of sweets at my friends' houses! Lol! My attachment to sugar to "make up for lost time" has been a big problem, physical and emotional. Enjoyed this video a lot! More protein starting today ❤️
Your videos are really well edited. Thank you for the valuable information.
Thank you so much!❤️
Excellent video. Does anybody ever wish for sweets very soon after already having a complete meal. I am often so full from dinner I don’t feel like I could eat any more of it but I definitely would still have room for some type of dessert!
Yes! I am really struggling with this. I read somewhere that it's a sign of insulin resistance. I'm planning phases where I add a little fruit along with lunch so I get my sugar cravings satisfied after my proteins and veggies but also get fiber and nutrients (versus reaching for unhealthy dessert). Hoping it helps because it really sucks when all your best intentions go out the window even when you eat a healthy meal.
I do always want sugary desserts both after lunch and dinner. I also wake up I'm the middle of the night craving it big time. Sometimes I can't even go back to sleep until I eat a snack
Me too late night is the worst. Cravings hit and cannot be denied! Even steak dinners don’t alleviate my late night need for sweet junk. Never ending battle
Yeah I think there’s a big psychological component to it as well as a nutritional one for many people- myself included!!
I'm so excited, it's taken me a few months but I've weened myself off of cream and sugar in my morning coffee.
Great advice, as usual! Thank you❤
I just discovered Kettle & FIre and I love it. Life changing. Totally recommend.
I never really had a problem with fruit except for eating the occasional watermelon in a single sitting. My problem was processed sugar. I ate 8000 KK donuts in the 80s. I would eat a pound of M&Ms in a day. I could finish off a box of fudge covered Oreos at lunch. I would eat ice cream cake for breakfast. It took four months for me to transition off of sugar. It was very difficult. If I had to do over again, I would’ve gone cold turkey combined with carnivore. I lost all carb and sugar cravings the week I switched from keto to carnivore.
I’m starting the process as we speak. Your former sugar diet sounds like my sugar binges too. Thank you for sharing, it’s very encouraging.
@@christinaslocum8761 how is it going for you? 😊
I never had a sweet tooth growing up, but once I started birth control it add sugar cravings on top of my salty/savory cravings. Never had to deal with sweet cravings before so this helps
I got of sugar 8 years ago and reality is it keeps me at cortisol level medium when i see what happening around😢😊❤
IF 16/8 got me off sugar ! No cravings anymore at all ! Plus lost 10 lbs in one month ! Still going strong with tons of energy ! Highly recommend IF
Excellent tips! Thank you for the video. :)
So helpful! Thank you!❤
good stuff!
thanks!
Protien and healthy fats definitely helped me, but nothing has stopped the cravings for me. I do good for awhile, but not forever for sure. I do like Kettle and Fire bone broth. I am "at peace" with knowing I will always crave sugar and will always struggle to keep that under control.
Hello Autumn,
As a pre-diabetic, you must have been watching SugarMD.
Sugar is the enemy and in everything we eat.
I subscribe to you but only now show up on my feed.
Nice to see you again.
Yep no more sugar cravings after doing IF/AEN. Down so many pounds and happy. Thank you Autumn 👍❤️🇨🇦
You're doing SO well, Guylaine!!!❤️❤️
What’s AEN?
@@nelly8875 It is for AutumnElleNutrition. It is Autumn’s nutrient timing program. Autumn not only talks about Intermittent Fasting and hormones she suggests a way of eating that guarantees fat burning. It is a real sustainable lifestyle change. Thank you for asking.
Thank you, i've been looking for something to explain everything I do
Congratulations on your 5th anniversary!
I love your videos. They're short and sweet and you get straight to the point. Was wondering if you were familiar with Candida and if so can you make a video on it. Blessings!
I am new to your channel and I love what I have learned from your videos
My great aunt i.e. my mother because that's who raised me always says and she always says it to her sister in a southern old school voice '' Child its just made up mind '' and truer words haven't ever been spoken !!
9:16 This. That's the story of my life - always craving chocolate or something - anything - sweet after dinner. Especially chocolate.
Heavens know how desperate I am to end sugar addiction thank you for these tips, got to try!
You're very welcome! Good luck on your wellness journey!❤️
Awesome tips!!! TYSM
I just got a call 5 minutes ago from my Dr office on results of my blood work & my bad cholesterol is 144 when the max should be about 130 so I need to control the sugar & I just go on UA-cam and see this video! Thank you!❤
Get on a Statin. Everybody over 50 should be on a statin. There’s the usual websites with horror stories but the group of drugs know as statins stop cholesterol collecting in your arteries. 👍
Great video thank you for the tips
I used to have the biggest sweet tooth!! These tips are definitely helpful!!
I'm so happy I found this video!!! based on your advice, today I had extra protein powder and an avocado (healthy fat) in my smoothie, salmon at lunch, and didn't crave sugar at all throughout the day, I can't believe that's all it took thank you sm!!! my sugar addiction has been controlling me haha
I would add to this that it is useful to check the nutrition stats on everything you buy at zhe supermarket. There is lots of (hidden) sugar even in products where you would least expect it and l think most people are not actually aware of how much sugar they do consume on a daily basis.
4:39 great suggestion on the BB but for those with high histamine intolerance BB will increase histamines; causing a cascade of issues including chronic inflammation
Thank you Autumn! I'm gonna start reducing my sugar intake as of today :)
PS: I love your name and you're really beautiful!
unrelated but your hair looks so healthy & pretty ! 🫶🏻
Fruit has always been my ‘go to’ when I’m cutting back on sugar. But I thought natural sugar was okay. Can you suggest a smoothie for breakfast that’s better than what I currently make: banana, No sugar Greek yogurt like Oikos Triple Zero, 1/2 cup frozen fruit?
I learned most of the things you mention here the hard way with trial and error. When I start my day with eggs, veggies and some cheese I am usually not hungry for 4 or more hours. I started trying Kettle & Fire a while ago after one of your videos. It is great. The other day I ate WAY too much sugar for a host or reasons (excuses) and was feeling AWFUL around 7pm. I heated up a big bowl of their cheddar broccoli soup and WOW! It helped right away. I also used the regular bone broth recently when I had to go on a liquid fast for a medical procedure. And, again, it was amazing. Great recommendation, thanks!
Hi Autumn, great video. I know how much you promote protein, but wish you would do a video for those of us with high cholesterol and are told to stay away from cheese, eggs, etc. It really is confusing and overwhelming. I love all your content. I have learned so much and am a new subscriber.
it SUX. some say eggs are not causing the high cholesterol. and fuk. i love cheese. cheese is life.
Eggs are not causing it- sugar and carbs are as well as highly inflammatory seed/vegetable oils are.
I add nutritional yeast to smoothies or salads to give me an energy boost and mental clarity. It acts to avoid and counteract sugar and carb cravings. I'd encourage you to question the big pharma myth that eggs cause high cholesterol. Eggs are one of the most perfect proteins you can eat. Many doctors are finally speaking out about the lies perpetuated by big pharma and governmental nutritional guidelines.
Add a cup of beans to your meal every morning
Same. I compensate by having one egg white with a bowl of savory oats on some days.
Good list to help with the sugar cravings. I am a sugary person. I have been able to cut it out of my lifestyle. I do eat berries and occasionally a date or two. I thought dates were low on the glycemic index. Somewhere I told they were both insoluble and soluble fiber in them that they stabilize blood sugar levels. May have to research. Maybe occasionally is the way to go.
Only within 2 days I stopped wanting sugar after increasing my protein. It was amazing and feels so amazing.
Autumn, the last day of February!❤
Beenn 2 years. My craving is down but when I see cinnabuns I run hard and fast away!
I want them rn lol
I've had a bad sugar addiction. I am slowly weaning myself off of my sugar addiction. I am now in sugar detox mode to lower my elevated thyroid levels etc.
Removed my daily bagel in the morning, afternoon small bowl of wheat thins and evening handful of M&M's and replaced them with Eggs, cheese, nuts and sugar free jerky. Limited to an 8 hour eating window and lost 10lbs in 2 weeks and still going strong.
I have been a sugar addict all my life. I am a WFPB eater now. All your suggestions for protein are dairy or meat. Maybe you could address different protein options, there are millions of us out there 😊
Yep...spot on...your story is my story...I never thought id lose the cravings😊👍 (I look good to) 👀
I found your comment about waking up because of low blood sugar interesting because lately I have been waking up in the very early morning hours and then I continued to wake up until I decide that I'm ready to get up but it really hinders my deep sleep my rest but I didn't quite understand what it was you were saying that would be good to practice to avoid this annoying wake up nonsense. Can you elaborate on that by any chance? Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this video
Dropped seven prescription drugs I was supposed to be on for life. By cutting out processed foods, processed sugar and moderate exercise.Not to mention lost forty pounds and kept it off for eleven years. Can definitely be done if you are committed to the process. My diet consist mainly of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and meat twice a week. (And lots of herbal teas) If you eat these foods, you can eat as much as you want and not gain weight. (Nuts and seeds do not cause you to gain weight)
I've always been led to believe that nuts are high in fat
@@emmylou4522 Hi Emmylou. I used to think so as well. Dr. Joel Fuhrman help me with this while listening to his series on PBS. Nuts and seeds do have fat in them. But most of the fat goes right through your system. I have stayed at 165 pounds for eleven years. I eat them every day in between meals.
@@Brian-rs4ug what nuts do you eat?
Mainly unsalted mixed nuts from Costco. (Cashews, Almonds, Pistachios, Pecans) I also add walnuts and almonds into my smoothies everyday.
@@Brian-rs4ug Thanks 😊
One thing you said as a kid you were not allowed sugary foods, so when at friends houses you ate a lot of sugar. I do try to teach my kids about healthy eating and what has a lot of sugar to teach them to make better. But I definitely remember friends that were not allowed sugar and how they over indulge, and even now my friends kids that are with too strict parents want to over indulge. Just something else worth noting, especially since you have a little on the way!
Yes they’ll always have the kids that gorge on sweets because they weren’t allowed. Everything in moderation.
This is so true. I’d see it all the time when my kids were little. There was always chocolate in our fridge, but my kids weren’t that interested. Easter eggs would sit around for months. If we were shopping my son would ask for a little tub of olives to eat rather than lollies. The friends with strict parents were always asking for biscuits and snacks.
Yes yes! When you try and totally restrict it makes cravings worse!!
I loved this but do you have any videos/could you do one for vegans/plant based eaters. I have the worst sugar cravings and think it’s probably due to lack of protein and good fats in my diet.
oh wow i didn't realize this video just came out 2 days ago. I searched "sugar addict" in youtube because i'm a sugar addict and i want to quit, or at least better manage, my sugar intake but it's so hard. I think to start yes I'll quit sugar cold turkey with the exception of those chocolate protein bars, i know one or two of those makes me full if i have to snack outside of my meal times, so i think i can do this! and then over time, i can cut out the chocolate protein bars. just thinking out loud thanks for this vid!
You've got this!!
I would love to know what protein bars, if any, that you like Autumn. Most have junk in them but are high in protein
I typically don't recommend protein bars. Meat sticks (like PaleoValley and Chomps) are much better alternatives.
I used to work at a place called "Souper salad"😂 it had everything you could think of to put in a salad. It was so good. It had so many delicious soups too..I don't know if that place is even open anymore but it was the BEST!
Oh, man - I used to LOOOOOVE that place! I wish they’d bring it back.
The eating more protein thing is SO real. I used to crave sugar allll the time and would over eat bc of it and so I realized (after researching for a while) I probably need more protein (I'm not a huge meat eater only would have meat on average one meal a day) and so I started drinking a protein coffee with collagen in it (the collagen is just for my skin lol nothing to do with the topic) and I have no cravings anymore. It's the best decision I've ever made for weight loss and being healthier in general. I use the Owyn plant based Protein Powder.
Edit: I just got to the part of the video where she said that using collagen helps even more and thought it was funny that I didn't even realize the collagen was helping too so I'm leaving it in XD
I need to really watch my sugar intake and stop my sugar habit bc of my glucose and A1C from my last physical exam in July 2023.
I was a sugar fiend until recently. When a blood test came back showing a slightly elevated A1C, I decided to implement immediate change. I haven’t gone crazy with it, but I almost entirely cut out added sugar. I still get plenty of sugar in the form of fruit, and daily have a big bowl of plain Siggi’s with blueberries and strawberries. I top that with 1/4 cup of Nature’s Path Pumpkin Flax granola, which adds plenty of sweetness, but only about 3 grams of sugar. I’m easily staying well below 10 grams of added sugar each day. If I really want a treat, I’ll have some Breyer’s Carb Smart ice cream (the chocolate peanut butter is amazing). I’ll be retested in a month, and fully expect better results. Oh, and I majorly ramped up my protein intake.
Just over a year and a half off sugar and don’t crave it at all. Nothing low fat anymore. One of my favourite treats is frothing a couple of tablespoons of whip cream with my frothier and having it in my coffee.
yessss I love adding fresh whipped cream to my coffee too
This sounds great besides dairy which I’m sensitive to 😢
Another great video autumn. Even though you're very active, coz you're still quite small, your protein needs aren't that much compared to someone who's naturally bigger. Like your husband's, as you said in the video. What does a typical day of eating look like for someone like him, who needs prob 100g or more of protein a day??? Would you do a video or blog post on that???
Yes great video and super interested in a video/blog covering 100+ g’s of protein.
I definitely would! I did a video in the past showing what 30 grams of protein looks like with various protein sources, so you can also take a look at that one for a baseline of at least 90 grams per day (across 3 meals) here: ua-cam.com/video/EszmmLnCF4c/v-deo.html
“Soup”er video! Ha! Loved this video so much!! ❤ I liked the dad joke by the way! 😂
😂😂
Mine is a gradual evolution of sugar. As a single mum of 3 boys. I couldn’t afford multipacks and boxes of fancy cereal etc. If they ever said ‘I’m hungry!’ It was ‘make a sandwich, have some Weetbix! (Which is cereal. But a staple in Australian households and low in sugar)
None of my boys are overweight. So I did my bit for healthy adults lol.
Me however. Once they were in bed it was my time to grab the remote and watch my tv shows etc. out came ‘mums stash’ I’d sit up later and later. Eat more and more rubbish. Now they’re all grown and gone I still eat nightly junk food. I have a sugar addiction.
I definitely wouldn't underestimate the power of eating enough protein (for your body's needs). It's impressive how much it stops cravings in its tracks
This is me Leanne- being a mum is so hard and when that small window of downtime comes I feel like I try to shovel as much fun/rnr/ chocolate into it as I can. It makes me feel free for a short space of time. Ironically the more I did it the more trapped I felt, so now I'm trying to prove to myself I dont need to eat it for the 21 days.... and now I'm trapped by intense food cravings. Am hoping maybe implementing some of this advice may help me moving forward cos I feel like giving in but I know I'll be so angry with myself when I do... but then maybe that's part of the problem too ..... ahhh psychological minefield!
@@bellyeahhhhh I feel your pain. My other confession is I finally managed to quit smoking which just amped up the junk food level. Gave up one addiction and took up another! 😩
Thank you so much for your video Autumn 🍂! 😊hope my donation will help out your channel.
nothing worked in helping me get my baby weight off until last month when i cut all sugar and junk food off my diet! yay for a quick weight loss
I stop eating sugar few months ago right now following a keto vegan diet
I am currently struggling to get off sugar. I am on and off, also I found out that the dairy product as causing a lot of bloatness, so I am also trying to get off that also. I don't eat sugar as long as I don't have it in the house, so I just have to stop buying it all together.
Thanks for the advice, I honestly thought sugar in fruit was okay because it's natural! I'll still eat grapes etc now I know (just not as much). I had no idea there was sugar in a banana! I've cut down from one large one to a small one per day now.
One thing that I found interesting was when I was given up sugar in the early stages I'd get a pineapple and leave it on the side for later and I knew that if there was a chocolate bar on the counter next to the pineapple I could leave the pineapple but I wouldn't leave the chocolate bar and still to this day I can very easily moderately eat pineapple whereas I wouldn't be able to do that with chocolate or biscuits or cakes or whatever in the past.
the bananas in the background are a nice touch lol
Have you tried dates and cream cheese, best thing ever
Hi, how can I as a vegetarian ensure getting enough high quality protein? I do eat eggs, Joghurt and cheese, but no meat. Any hints?
I used you calculation video to find my protein needs and that alone has been a huge help. Do you know if we could make bone broth from deer? My husband thinks it will taste too gamey. 🤔 Great video Autumn, very helpful 🤗
I’m wondering this same thing. Also about other wild game.
Try it, what do you got to lose?
I'd imagine it should work out fine, but I personally haven't tried it. Let me know how it goes!
@@AutumnBates ok, deer season starts in October or atleast bow season does. I'll give it a try and let you know how it turns out.
I've done it with elk bones and I plan on trying it with deer bones this fall. I'm pretty confident it will turn out fine!
Do you have any recommendations for quick protein (dairy free) for times when we're on the go?
great 👍👍, I have a question, is it worth eating apples and bananas because they also have a lot of sugar, is it ok to reduce?
Hi Autumn Bates and so I have a question to ask you about my meals now and without eating bread in morning so I worked at Chick-Fil-A and for breakfast I eat the Grilled Scramble Bowl do you think that is healthy for me on the days that work or should I change it up for my meals because my workout trainer wants me to eat protein for Breakfast.
Really good.
Yes great info but what about vegetarian alternative options for protein? I find this is a real dilemma for me.
Eggs and cheese, if you’re not vegan. Beans or tofu
Sleep is a huge factor to my sugar cravings. I am a train driver, when I have to get up around 3 am I crave sugar all day, because I don’t sleep enough as my work hours change every day my body never gets enough sleep when I start early
I hate eating sweet first thing in my day. I also get headaches the next day upon waking up when having processed food with sugar. I do a sugar fast every year for one month since 2016. I like waking up without the headache. It's my husband who has a hard time giving sweets up. Chocolate gives me painful uterine contractions so, that was easy to stop eating. If I am making desserts, I use monk fruit and raw honey.
Bitter tea helps too-oolong, green, etc.
I switched from sugar to monkfruit , 0 calories, does not spike blood sugar, can't taste the difference. Expensive though so l eat less of it. Works for me. Lost 2 pant sizes over the last year also.
