100% I eat a salad everyday because I LIKE them.
Same, salad and soup are the two things I want to eat every day
so you eat a bowl of antinutrients every day?
@@dharsheeran how is salad antinutrients? Also why does it matter if not everything a person eats is super packed with nutrients?
@@mothmanlol6263 oxalates, phylates, ploysorbates, lectins all found in green leaves, beans, vegetables, etc. also the antinutrients prevent your body from absorbing nutrients from all meals throughout the day, not just from that one meal
@@dharsheeran lol so vegetables full of nutrients prevent us from absorbing the nutrients found in vegetables? What is this, absorbception?
I remember after I was in “all in” recovery for like 3 months, my body started craving sooo much nutritious food, like fruits, salads, whole wheat bread and porridge, it was amazing to see how my body slowly stopped craving food I restricted for so long once it had enough of it and my hunger went back to normal
I didn’t think I liked salads until I realized that I could chop my veggies really little and put a huge variety of them in there with a bunch of fun toppings. Now I don’t feel like a giraffe gracelessly trying to shove leaves in my face and actually love salad.
Lmao I felt that about the giraffe part 😂
This actually a good idea 😂
I didn’t like salad because it felt like a lot of work to get big leaves into my face. A nutritionist friend recommended chopped salads to me just like how you make them. It make the experience more enjoyable and less of a chore.
So true! I do the same, and it really makes a difference when everything is bite sized.
Oh yeah totally and I’m glad you are addressing this! While repairing my relationship with food I’m finding myself intermittently getting worried that the choices Im making are falling back into dieting/restriction and ultimately disordered eating. But then I remember there is a place for all foods in a healthy diet and I’m honouring my body by goin with whatever feels good.
A lot of the time that’s a good salad and smoothie. Sometimes it’s fried chicken. Balance.
So much of my food journey is becoming about catching my thoughts and judgements about it all.
I hope everyone out there on a similar journey is kind to themselves today ❤
Yesss girl! The day I stop trying to control every bite of food I put in mouth, the less I craved junk. I also found myself liking the taste of veggies more ❤
totally agree, just have to say the lighting is so perfect in this video, Abbey is glowing
THANK YOU i always get told in my work place that i am obsessed with dieting but the truth is i just like eating healthy 😂
Me too. I’m vegetarian, and it’s because I like it
I’ve always loved seaweed! I know it’s not one of the flashy “diety foods” but even before I knew what I diet was, it was always my fav!!
I love nori (roasted seaweed sheets) lol,,, Love it with rice and salmon, but I also just eat the dry sheets by themselves 😂
Thank you for this, I'm always craving veggies, no matter what I eat I always wants veggies (or fruit) with it. I've always ordered restaurant salads not because I'm trying to loose weight but because it's the meal I love the most on the menu.
Restaurant salads aren't often "healthy". High calorie add ins, fatty dressings. I personally say "who cares" because like you.. I love an awesome grilled chicken, strawberry walnut spinach salad with a heavenly balsamic vinagrette and a splash of balsamic glaze.
I prefer the “healthy” alternatives to snacks even though I give myself full permission to eat whatever I want. As for salads, I love salad but it must have tons of cheese, dressing and croutons so take that diet culture 😉
Diet culture does not exist....lazy consumerism does.
Yep exactly forgot about the croutons n blue cheese dressing sometimes n yes cheese lol
When I really practice asking myself what I REALLY want to eat and letting myself eat whatever I WANT, I 100% eat more veggies and fruit, proteins and drink more water.
💯. I find the same. Actually taking the time to listen to ourselves is key!
Water has no taste so I don't believe anyone really loves water it has no taste lol but yes veggies n fruits yummm
@@tammyboykin5285 sometimes I crave water... like "been walking ina desert for years" kind of craving. At my job it's VERY difficult to drink water except at lunch, so by the time I hit my car for the commute home.. I absolutely chug water.
I've been trying to eat in a more healthy way not to diet but to feel better. As I get older I realize more how certain foods make my body feel energized or sluggish. A breakfast of pancakes makes me feel sluggish working in the garden; a breakfast of eggs and bacon gives me the energy I need accomplish the physical gardening tasks I want to do. I find that I crave processed foods less the more I eat whole foods, but I still eat something if I'm craving it, whether that's a salad or a chocolate.
Thank you. I so relate to this. Some people think I still hold disordered eating patterns from the past, but I genuinely found a good place in my life where I love these foods and it’s not coming from a place of restriction and deprivation. I healed, but they can’t seem to believe it fully.
Amen! My top three favorite foods hands down include broccoli and apples … sick I know lol but they’ve been my faves since I was little- I’m like anti diet culture but I love healthy food lol sooo weird - in fact it feels LIKE A PRIVILEGE to eat whole unprocessed foods these days as they’re often more challenging to come by financially and access wise then all the other stuff 😢
Absolutely! When I got away from diet mentality I started craving the "healthier" things like salads, smoothies and stuff. Funny part was I stopped wanting to binge eat the "bad" things I had to "get rid of" in order to lose weight.
I eat salad because I like the crunchyness of it. Plus, I can make a blt out of it and just put it in a bowl. so much easier for me that way.
I love a big salad it’s fun to eat and every bite has a different flavor.
I’m new to intuitive eating after yo-yo and starvation diets for my entire adult life. I craved salad all week and eating them felt amazing. I knew I was eating delicious and nourishing foods because I wanted to not because it fit into whatever ridiculous plan I was following that week! Abbey your videos have really helped me start to change my relationship with food and my body!
Yes! Salads are so delicious, especially on a hot day. Loved them as a kid, love them now.
THIS! 👏🏻
I am type 1 diabetic because of that I have had “diets” forced upon me since I was 12. Constantly being told “you can’t eat this you can’t eat that” I have never been overweight in my life, I was severely underweight prior to diagnosis because type 1 is an autoimmune disease not a metabolic disease (like type 2)
I developed an eating disorder. And no one noticed. No one at work. None of my friends. Oh the diabetic isn’t eating, that’s not an issue. But if I was eating pasta thats a problem and everyone says so. If I was consuming sugar (because my sugar was LOW) I would be told by people I worked with “thats why you have diabetes”
So I developed an eating disorder. Its taken me a long time to reach the point where I eat whatever my body needs at the time. And a lot of times thats vegetables because I love them and they make me FEEL good.
And unfortunately for me because I have an autoimmune disease and am under severe stress in my life the past few years I am gaining weight rapidly despite eating super healthy.
And its sad because I feel pressure to lose the weight because every person on this planet makes jokes about diabetics being fat.
Yes, HECK yes! When I don’t feel like I “should” eat it, I literally want to eat it more often. It just sounds good. And when it sounds good, I want it more often. It’s a more nutritious cycle, minus any deprivation.
I f***ing love salads. Never occurred to me that it was a diet-y thing
Depends on what you add to it. You can always make them unhealthy 😂❤
I went to the grocery store yesterday and bought the ingredients to make Olive Garden salad 😂 because I was craving it!best choice ever!
I am in the middle of trying all new foods. For 38 years of my life I bought into the dirt culture. 10 years ago I started breaking out. I didn’t know my body felt satiated after lots of foods. I learned online a lot more food then I use to think I like.
💯 percent appreciate you!
I crave veggies, always have. It's often my favorite part of a meal. Now I just embrace that and try to think of what veggies I can add and what I can do to make them taste better in a feel my body better
Yes I go with what my body is telling me I need recently though I am feeling unsatisfied and I am not really getting any cravings but I reckon it's stress
It is summer and salads are so dang good. Making them doesn’t heat up the house either
Really needed this today.
Salads are how I get my veggies in. And charcuterie boards
I love salad! It’s my favorite meal!
I love eating salads during the warmer weather, and I love eating nourishing soups during the colder weather. When the salads are made with organic vegetables and drizzled with my simple dressing of olive oil, champagne vinegar, and celery salt, it’s 👩🍳💋 amazing.
Since letting go of the reigns I get pretty excited over my sautéed spinach artichokes and eggs in the morning, and I grab veggies far mroe because I enjoy them, they make me feel better, etc
I crave salads , freaking avocado toast and juices especially when I’m on a road trip and eat fast food or to much processed food it’s weird but it happens every time
I didn’t even really like salad or “diet”/“healthy” foods until recovery and breaking free of my unhealthy relationship with food. Now I actually enjoy and crave these things.
I thought it was serving me to do intermittent fasting because I wasn't hungry some days, but now I'm aware that what I call "not hungry is a strong old grip of anorexia(from 10 years ago) I know because when I tried to challenge this I wanted to crawl out of my skin. Lol I'm one day down of eating breakfast, lunch, snack and diner. Your videos helped get me realise I need balance. ❤
I crave vegetables all the time. I never crave anything sweet. People think I'm dieting but i genuinely love veg.
YES i eat a big salad with two plain pieces of bread on the side for lunch and dinner every single day because it’s just the only thing that i feel like!
Me ✋🏽I needed to hear this. Thx.
Yes ma’am thanks for this ❤
Thank you!!! Healthy food can be delicious and often I crave a good smoothie or salmon and broccoli!!
Salads are one of my favourite meals, when I eat them people assume "diet" automatically, but a chunky, fresh salad covered in beetroot and pickled cabbage and some cheese. Ugh! It's SO GOOD
I had a big, beautiful salad full of protein for breakfast this morning no regrets
As a person who can no longer eat salads or fresh veggies, trust that one can genuinely crave these things! Eating them is what is intuitive.
TY Abbey. I tell people about your channel on a regular basis. I wish your content and Stephanie Lange's had been around when I was a teen or young woman, but I'm grateful it exists now!
Yeah! I realised I felt really tired in the afternoon if I ate carbs at lunch and because I have to prepare lunch ahead of time it had lots of veg plus veggies are filling and everyone thought I was on a diet
I have been enjoying frozen mixed berry blended up with coconut milk, avocado and some Greek yogurt, it’s the consistency of an ice cream and I prefer it over ice cream. My husband thinks I’m crazy. I just freaking loooioove it!! No guilt! But neither is ice cream!
I feel better the cleaner that I eat or lighter rather …but I also have stomach issue
Can't people just like the taste of veggies?! I like salad when it's warm outside, its crunchy, tasty and delicious. In colder months I crave veggie soups. It's not diet culture it's just eating what I crave and find good.
I love the days when my body is like needing the allure of funfetti pancakes and bacon for breakfast and then later in the afternoon wants a clean out the fridge smoothie concoction. I never know what I’m going to put in my mouth as much as I never know what is going to come out of my mouth word wise so nutritionally I like the consistency of unpredictability. It is energizing eating what my body is wanting and in the long run I end up eating less because I’m feeling satiated on all levels!
I've recently become a little less vegan (an occasional bit of mayo if I didn't realize something came with it is fine, or if my side of chips at the hospital has milk, I'm not gonna waste it, I wouldn't mind eggs from my own chickens, if I had them), and I found myself really enjoying a veggie wrap a couple days ago. I have had a hard time liking vegan food, so the fact that I like that one veggie wrap is such a big deal to me.
I had anorexia, now I love veggies and fruits so much but people say I am restricting. I don't like pizza, burger, or junk foods like in general. I have never ever liked them in my life. I love simple Indian foods. (Not salads, though)....but people tries control me all the time...
Yes! About 2-3 weeks in a row I just want a salad everyday. Then I will go another 2 weeks not wanting to wash the lettuce and forcing myself to do so. Then of course I feel bad about not putting forth the effort. Well, no more. Thank you!
I do find my self craving salad sometimes & I’ll have it every day for awhile. When I do, I fill up on it. Of course I don’t have salad everyday like my husband but I do love it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have said for decades that when you crave something, if you're a normal healthy person, it means your body wants something in that food be at vitamin A or iron or whatever. Even sugar if you've depleted the glycogen stores in your liver. Listen to your body.
I definitely find myself craving vegetables more often! I’m often like, “what vegetables can I add to this to make it more rounded?” That doesn’t mean I never eat imbalanced meals, sometimes I can’t be bothered to roast a zucchini, but more often than not, I’m always adding veggies to a meal.
Letting go of the reins is why I crave salads, fruits, etc. Although, chocolate is life lol!
I love salads but sometimes I add cheese or blue cheese dressing or other non healthy stuff added to it hehe
Usually february and march time I start craving salads like crazy. People think I'm dieting, but no, I just want greens and vitamins!!
I love a green smoothie for breakfast!! I crave eggs a lot, but I’m intolerant to them, my stomach will hurt, I’ll get hot flashes and break out. So yes, for me a smoothie or juice is the best option
Salads are so bomb, especially when you realize you can put whatever you want on them
100% agree!!!
The first time after I started eating intuitively that I ate a salad I was like….I love salad, and even when I allowed myself to put regular dressing on it and extra cheese I loved it even more. And…. I didn’t overindulge I ate what I should have…..I realized that I needed to allow myself all foods and not assume I didn’t like them because I used to eat them when restricting….amen
What salad dressing do you use on your salads?
I eat veggies and fruit because I like it and I get constipated easily. Fiber helps me a lot
That’s what I thought was intuitive eating… I listen to my body and can sense it needs iron or fiber or protein or freshness or crunchy, etc.
It doesn’t mean instant junk food. I try to choose the healthier options to what I’m craving. Because I know I will feel great afterwards.
I LOVE SALAD but, where I live ppl eat it or with food or with lots of veggies, I like this gigantic bowl of lettuces, carrot (just a little bit), Bell peppers, tomatos, onions, salt, Olive oil, vinager and just a hand full of cheese (cubs) and crouton AND chicken or salami
Ppl who eat salad say its lame, ppl who dont like salad say its lame
I hate the phrase diet culture 😢 so love to hear that because a lot of people are extreme. Either extremely dieting or extremely not there seems to be no middle ground
If I don’t want say potato at lunch, say at a restaurant lunch with coworkers, because the starch makes me sleepy and I op for entree and double green beans. Am I being diet culture or just not wanting to fall asleep in afternoon sessions?
forsure . somedays i really crave pressed juicery after some yoga 😂 i dont care if its stereotypical af i like their juice 🤗 also love vitality bowls theyre both delicious and make me feel good
Yes absolutely. Now that I've recovered so much from my restrictive eating disorder, I actually Enjoy healthy, nutritious foods now. Probably because I know they're not my only option. Actually let's be real, now I can enjoy ALL foods more
No one commented on my eating habits when I ate junk and simple carbs but when you eat relaxed keto they freak out. 😅
I love this. I've struggled with this a lot and learned I just love some crunchy veggies sometimes! I still struggle with my body image though. I am at a weight where it is impacting some health aspects ( non critical), so I struggle with the idea of losing weight "for health" or for an "accepted body image". Any tips?
Wait don't you leave in Canada ??? Where's that sunshine from ? It was snowing today 😭
but then if someone just had a juice on a WIEIAD you reviewed, you would claim they were trapped in diet culture mentality or had an eating disorder - it’s a complete contradiction.
Exactly. But she cheats the entire issue by alluding to some ineffable bodily wisdom.
@@LawdyGawd are you saying I'm not EFFABLE?
I looooove salads. I've found the combination of lime juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and hella nooch added to an already dressed salad is 😘👌 perfection. I'm trying out different base dressings atm I began with ceasar but a simple olive oil white wine vinegar touch of mustard base is also delish
OK I need to know what Hella Nooch is
@wendie dox oh nooch is short for nutritional yeast! And hella just as in I use a lot of it haha
Important to add it on top of the salad not mix it through with the dressing because they can mix into a paste
Agreed!!
salad is so yummy and when i eat it people are like “ ooh are you trying to eat healthy” or “gurl your already sk!nny you don’t need to eat salad” and it’s like please let me and my body eat in peace😃 and i hate how people comment on others eating habits and bodies like is that really the most interesting thing we can talk about and it causes real issues to make fun of someone’s eating habits
Amber doing all the appointments and checklist items quickly and thinking that will show the doctor she is ready for wls has the same energy as patients on my 600lb life not following the diet or exercise plan but moving to Houston anyway thinking that will force Dr Now to approve them for wls. He doesn’t play that game.
Sometimes I just eat a PILE of broccoli and egg cuz I have a desire for that greenness and simplicity in flavour. I’m a cook something new and exciting every day kinda gal but sometimes just feed that craving
Hey, sometimes a salad on a really hot day just hits the spot. 👌🏻
Love this ❤
Man salads are absolutely delicious
I eat a salad every day pretty much for lunch
I love salad 🥗 Lunch everyday because I want it!
I eat once a day & it’s a lot of 😱 salad!! I’m sure Abby would call that an eating disorder but it’s what works for my nerve damage.
I used to find these videos annoying but I can empathize w/ Liz after watching the ED experts cult pontificate over stuff that at the end of the day is just stuff that gets them through till tomorrow and it does not work for everyone.
Yeah you preach that but judge people who DECIDE to fast or skip a meal, not because their eating is disordered, but because they want to feel their best.
Today I chose raw snap peas for breakfast, because I wanted them.
I’m trying today and the last several days not to feel guilty and that I’m going to gain weight because I’m hungry and eating 2 meals a day instead of 1. I’ve been intermittent fasting for a long time and I don’t know why I’m hungry at 12 pm or 1 pm. I’m 48 at the end of the month. I wonder if it’s menopause.
lemon water was a part of diet culture???? i always order iced lemon water at restaurants because it makes the water more palatable 😅
Is that from salad and go!? I love salad and go
Ugh, YES!! 100000% agree!👏🏻💯🤍
Yeah sometimes you crave a bowl of salad 😋 just because
I genuinely enjoy such foods more than junk.
I just listen to my body no diet just love language I have with my body. But i do read ingredents tho. Still eating protien veggies yes carbs doing better then I was doing. Ya diet culture to much money and a waste of time.
I love this 🥹
God bless u
It’s TRAGIC if people think eating veggies is diet. I’d die without veggies Jesus Christ 😂
for me.. all juice is bad.. but hey, whatcha got on that salad? mmmm
🙌🙌🙌
Sometimes I have grapes and carrots for dessert, sometimes I have ice cream and a piece of cheese for lunch. The body wants what it wants.
