- Опубліковано 8 тра 2024
- My husband Luke and I have been dieting for a month now. He has lost 17 pounds and so have I. Brendon and Hailey seen how we were getting healthy and asked if they could start the Optavia with us. They are both doing great and now our Lean & Green Dinner is being made for our entire family. It really has helped me change the way I make meals. Yes, we will
eat snacks and ill still bake but its helping me to make sure I create more fresh and lean dinners. So my haul
Turned into an entire family weekly dinner haul. Eating fresh sure costs more but worth it!!!

The Jenni-O Italian sausage is labeled as such. For future purchase the packaging has red ends and the word Italian is in caps and red. The italian has seasoning and rosemary extract. The regular you bought has sugar in it.😊❤
The way you said mojito killed me hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha! I was laughing too!
My husband is Mexican American and he purposely says Spanish words wrong to see if our kids are paying attention 😆
Hey Heather! Great haul. I have a tip for ya. Instead of using cauliflower rice for pizza crust. You can use ground chicken instead, and it will give you more protein.
It’s way better!
Maybe she’s trying to increase veg intake instead of protein?
Throws up in mouth
I got mini cucumbers and sliced them to make pickles. I saved the juice from the pickles, kept it in the refrigerator and then sliced a whole small cucumber and a few days I will have fresh pickles.
Costco has cauliflower rice it’s priced good ! It’s in the frozen section.
It;s filled with Poison. Read the Ingredients. Everything you buy please read and research. Grow your own or find a farm. Wake up.
If your kids miss the “sweet” in tomato sauce add cooked sweet potato & use immersion blender to smooth into your sauce. Have to taste test for sweetness level your family would like.
That sounds really good.
It isn't a diet. Instead, it's a healthy lifestyle change.
They are on a diet. They are on Optavia
@@alinalane6066Really? That is super expensive! Guess no complaining about healthy groceries if they can afford the Optiva drugs then! Wow! When did she say they were on Optiva?
Egg roll in a bowl, Big Mac in a bowl are great with the ground turkey. As a past Optavia person
It's wonderful that you are modeling healthy eating for your family! That is something that will benefit you and them for life! I just want to say though, that eating healthy does not have to be more expensive. In fact, in my experience, eating healthy and balanced is actually less expensive than if i were to choose more "unhealthy" food.
Here are some of my hints: shop fruits and veggies in season and in bulk when you can. Costco and Sams often have the best prices on berries and other fruits and veggies. Look at what is on sale and on clearance at your local grocery stores. Often times when produce sits on the shelf for a long time they will discount it. With a large family, you'd have no issue going through the food before it goes bad! Center your meals around whatever protein you can find on sale and stock up when it is. Finally, meal plan based on what you already have in your fridge and pantry and only go to the store for what you need to complete those meals. Ive been able to successfully keep my grocery budget around 50 dollars a week (oftentimes less!) just by doing those things. Granted I am single, so multiply that by how many members in your family! Good luck! It gets easier the more you eat a balanced diet!
The fancy "health food" is what makes eating healthy expensive, don't fall for it!
That ground turkey is pretty good if you season it well. I think your husband will like it. We’ve used it a lot for tacos and stuff.
You can take the sweet Italian sausage out of the casings really easy. They just squish out. I use those for spaghetti sauce all the time! The one you picked up is more of a breakfast sausage flavor.
Aldi have a good selection of smoked meats especially chicken and turkey 👌❤️ my mam is doing the same diet ❤️
Ps I live in Ireland so the selection might be slightly different but also own brand line do have a good selection 😁❤️
Also try the polish section too they have a great selection of smoked sausages ❤️
Jenni o has an Italian sausage and taco one. You can do a lot with ground turkey just season well
Love this family
Looks great!! Everyone says it’s more expensive but really it’s all about planning and storing the food properly it will last in the fridge what you don’t use. Ground turkey is not too expensive usually. It takes practice but gets easier. I use my air fryer all the time and it gives food a crispy texture the healthy way. Look into making turkey or chicken cutlets. My kids love them.
Happy Mother s day to all the moms❤
Loved the grocery haul! 😊🩷
Yes eating healthier is more expensive for sure. Check into some protein shakes they are good to help you fuller. I am so happy your posting again you & your family are awesome.
If you think thats expensive 2 weeks ago to get a full cauliflower was 8.50 at one point lettuce was so expensive in aus mc donalds was going yo replace it with sherrred cabbage
A bunch of asparagus at the moments is 3.90 fot a small mynch likr maybe five
The Applewood sausages are not Brots. Take it from someone of German heritage.😊❤
I absolutely love summer/fall with all the fresh. You can also bake sweets that are healthier and yet still cure the craving for sweets.
You're the best!
So nice to see all the healthy foods😊
Hi Heather and fam it's always great to see u ❤❤❤❤❤ good for u all for eating healthier ❤❤❤❤ but it's very expensive be safe sending many hugs and kisses 💋 😘 😗 😚 ❤❤❤
Looks great I can’t eat raw vegetables due to a stomach disorder and I really miss them. So glad your weight loss journey has everyone involved. It helps to have the support of others❤️
I have severe crohns disease and I've had all but one metre of my intestine removed. This restricts what I can consume and unfortunately when I was fed through my veins they kept clotting which has caused many issues. Anyway I have to force feed myself because it hurts but I need the nutrients. I love to eat fruit and vegetables and I find if I peel them first and cut into small pieces it's easier to digest in small amounts. So for example I peel cucumber, carrot I grate, I take the outside string off celery etc. Some other ideas are turning fruit/some vegetables into a puree and make it into sorbet. You don't get the crunch but because you don't cook it, it still tastes like the raw product. I also dehydrate produce and then turn it into powder to have with milk or as a smoothie to get as much of the health benefits as possible. I don't know if it will help you but I thought I'd share just in case. I wish you all the best with your health.
Heather, I hope you share a few of your Optavia meals. I am just starting this new way of life. I love watching your videos, lives, and reels.
If you ever crave anything sweet, make sure you have almonds or some kind of nuts on hand! I read somewhere that craving chocolate and sweets is usually because your body needs magnesium. Eating nuts instead really helped surpressed those cravings for me personally.
Your skin looks fantastic! Hope you are enjoying making new meals for your family.
You’re my favorite internet mom
You should look into growing your own herbs. I’ve heard a lot of them are pretty easy to grow and you can do it inside so the weather won’t cause issues. It may not save you a fortune but it might save some 💵.
Hey ya’ll! You are such a great mom looking out for all your children. Who is the pretty girl Odessa? Hope I spelled that right? Great job on healthy eating, and it is hard and very expensive for the budget! Be safe on your trip to get Gidean!
If you have an Aldi near by, I would check them out. They have a lot of the items that you purchased for less money.
Izzy's ring is gorgeous 🤩🥰
Make your own salad dressings and marinades. Once you get the basic ingredients for them, it's simple and then you know what's in there.
Yummy haul!
You probably noticed but the chicken breasts had 15% chicken broth and other stuff added to them.
It’s not diet- it’s eating healthy
Reading labels staying away from processed foods
Having a full blood panel to know what are deficient in vitamin and minerals
Maybe the kids can grow on the farm fruit and veges to help out😊❤
They are on a diet. They areon Optavia
@@alinalane6066 works best long term if they take the attitude that they are eating healthy and have made a lifestyle change. Rather than "diet".
@@tanikokishimoto1604 true. My inlaws were on it for 5 years. I read the ingredients and it isn't good. All of the "fueling" is mad with soy
Love your video ❤❤❤❤
Look up the Dirty Food Cookbook - Portuguese gumbo 👌😍😋 substitute pork sausages for chicken sausages or a smoked sausage 👌 that would be delicious and super handy to make a big batch of it for a large family would be tasty over cauliflower rice too! 🥰
I steam cauliflower in big florets then grate then put in dry pan on low to evaporate liquid for cauliflower rice or for cauliflower pizza crust
Carbs are the ones that spike blood glucose
I love this grocery haul! You are looking like you're feeling good, I hope that's true! Just imagine, as you pay more for real food (vs packaged/processed food) that every dollar is coming off your medical bills! 😁
Love you from edmonton alberta
Turkey tacos is one of our favs with ground turkey for my family 🌮
The drinks with all the sugars in them are bad for anyone. Been trying to avoid sugary drinks, only drink lots of water, or lower sugar content. Admire y’all for what you’re doing in your weight loss.
Cauliflower with ginger sautéed/fried is so good….especially with beef and a soy sauce based sauce stir fry and over egg noodles
Yes it’s crazy for healthy food
We eat ground turkey and now I love it. Tonite my husband made turkey burgers and mixed feta cheese, mushrooms, and onion they were so good, so my point is your husband will get used to it
I eat all of that and I'm not dieting it's delicious 😋
Heather Food is so expensive especially healthy food God bless you all Sweet Friends 🙏🏻✝️☮️❤️💝💙💗💜🌹🌺🫂🍀💐🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Hello from Lexington KY
If you have and Aldi in your area check it out for produce. It's sooo much cheaper.
I'm not big on carbonated water. But I do like a little lime or lemon in my water. Aidelle use to make chicken and pineapple meatballs. I loved them and haven't been able to find in a long time. I find when I fallow weight watchers I do great losing weight. And I can eat what I want and it makes me eat a lot healthier because I do eat my vegetables. But I do like vegetables. Ground turkey is awesome. You can use it in the place of anything that calls for hamburger
One of my favorite ways to have ground turkey is in chili! You won't miss the beef 😊
Great for eating healthy
I would love to see some of the food that you are making for your diet. I’ve cut out added sugars and am eating healthier overall. I had to run to the store last night because I had run out of vegetables.
Heck those hint of waters for 12 are close to $20.00
Great video Heather🍍🥑🥒🍅🥬🥗🍽❤
Try ground chicken instead of turkey. It's cheaper and tastes better
Turkey is lower in calories and sodium.
Sorry to say but that’s a good price! It would be like $400 or more in Canada!
It is expensive to eat real clean foods . I try to grow what i can. Some times i feel like I feeding the bugs than myself 😅. Happy Mother's day 💐
Please make a cauliflower pizza crust? Ive tried... its been a mess every time.😪
All these healthy food as I continue to eat, my flaming, hot Cheetos, and feel not guilty 😂😂
❤❤❤❤
We make egg roll bowls with ground turkey and tons of veggies then serve it over cauliflower rice.
God bless
❤❤❤
My daughter LIVES the clead American sparkling water, ZERO calories & TONS of flavors!!!!
Eating healthy is expensive.
@MrsAlmaTrumble I agree as a low income autistic woman diagnosed with five other disabilities outside of autism.
@@brittanydaniels1102 I understand that. I'm a low income married woman diagnosed with 2 fistulas that are caused by Crohn's, Osteopenia, and have a tumor on my left temporal lobe.
Aldis makes it easier to eat healthy.
I’m sure once her garden is in full blast, she will have much less to purchase.
My husband has to be on the Metatranian diet which is just veggy an fruits an fish. Fish is expensive. We've try it an that diet is expensive to be put on.
Why? @@millenieelggren3860
Healthy eating is more expensive but so worth the benefits 👍
Would you please do a video on making the cauliflower pizza crust. I'm on a very special diet I can't have any grains at all. This is an elimination diet. I could use help learning how to use cauliflower.
Who is Hadessa? 😊❤
Can't believe how expensive fresh food is in the USA
We would not even pay a pound for a cauliflower which would be just over a dollar
Why not make a nice pot of vegetable and lentil soup, cheap and filling. Also vegetable curry is tasty.
It’s too bad that there’s no Costco near you. You’d save a ton. Costco needs to step it up.
I live 100 miles north of her where we really have nothing! I’d give an arm and a leg for a Costco somewhere around here/her area! Even within a couple hours or so I’d take.
Time to head to Costco and plant a garden.
No Costco there lol
My doctor wants me on a low sodium diet, so I am educating myself. It’s crazy how much sodium is out there and everything. Thank goodness, have a fresh vegetables, and if I am able to cook them at home, I can watch the amount of sodium. My biggest problem is going to be cheese. I am a cheese lover butt. There are some lower sodium cheeses that I think I can live with. I’m also going to try nutritional yeast instead of grated Parmesan cheese. Any suggestions out there for less sodium and good tasting foods?
Fresh ginger in australia is 27 per kg
add a bit of worchestire sauce to the ground turkey it helps it taste like ground beef!
Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try that. For some reason I'm not a fan of ground turkey.
Seasonings are a must with ground turkey. I sautée onions, peppers and shrooms to mix into the meat. Then any and all seasonings you like: cumin, ground mustard, paprika, Italian seasonings, obviously salt and pepper, garlic (fresh, pre minced, powdered), same as onion (powdered or minced or dry). I also like a little lawrey marinade (the Hawaiian is super yum! Planning us some ground turkey burgers tonight!
@@nancyanne1402 yes definitely but the worchestire sauce gives it a beefy taste without the beef! i also use other seasonings in it as well! montreal chicken seasoning is great!
It is really crazy what they charge same here
Fresh green Beans with a little sesame oil in the frying pan absolutely delicious 😋😋 and you literally only need a tiny bit of sesame oil for a pan full of green beans 🤤🤤
Has to be fresh green beans not frozen.
What eating plan are you using? Is it keto?
5 calories????? It’s 5 frickin calories
I thought the same thing..lol..cracked me up(in a good way)..😅
I truly miss Meijers
❤
If you replace hamburger in any dish for the turkey you don't even notice the taste. I even find that the plant based meat doesn't taste different if you just use it in place of regular hamburger. Also use spaghetti squash.
I don't like the taste or smell of the plant based "meat." If I want to make a meatless meal, then I just don't use any meat substitute at all.
I like to use well seasoned beans or mushrooms in meatless meals.
@@nancyanne1402 great ideas also.
I'm such a buster know it all about diet because of my own personal challenges and health issues. Watch out for high sodium, sugar and carbs.
Congrats on the weight loss! Man, I feel the struggle. Do you feel lighter, stronger and have more energy?
Have y'all ever cooked cauliflower using it instead of potatoes for a cauliflower salad use cauliflower in place of pasta for what would he mac an cheese
Do you end up throwing any of the food away because you didn’t use it fast enough? That was a lot of veggies
Great grocery haul ❤❤❤👍👍👍😊😊😊
Yes, no processed foods pls
Butter ball makes sausage
Turkey meatloaf
Are doing keto? I love that turkey sausage! You lost me at mushrooms!
Are you on a Keto diet?😊❤
Please share your cauliflower pizza recipe
It's not dieting it's just healthy eating..
What store are you at?
Butterball makes turkey burgers
Hope the diet is going well, I’m on the diet wagon too 😁
Who's your helper???
I lost 19lbs just giving up pop alone
We cut out McDonald’s one year for lent and never went back. Got rid of pop the next year, never went back.
That’s a lot of pop
