Thanks so much for watching my videos & supporting my channel! xx - Фільми й анімація
I have studied health and wellness with food for many years and all I found myself to be is confused and not well. You have explained things so well that I finally feel like it all makes sense. Thank you so much for creating this content, I can’t wait to share with my family❤️
So glad it is all making sense for you now! The best feeling!!!
THIS was the PERFECT summary of nourishment. I've tried so many different diets/ways of eating the past 10 years and only recently came back to exactly what you are describing and it's so helpful to have that affirmation amidst the many other messages. I think the top things that I misunderstood were: supporting metabolism, the role of carbs and macro and mineral nutrient balance. Would love to hear more about any and/or all of these! THANK YOU for this content.
Oh this is just such a sweet comment. Thank YOU for watching, I'm so so glad you have found it so helpful! One of my life's missions is to get this info out there! So many people need it.
Yes! Love the chatty videos! 💗 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
Needed to hear this today! Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for taking the time to create this! 💗 The other day I "allowed" myself to actually eat what I was craving instead of ignoring it you know what it kept me fuller for longer than I was expecting. I actually felt satisfied.
YES! The satisfaction factor!!! So much more important than people realize and something that gets completely ignored in any context of dieting.
Loved the video! Thanks for all the info! I would love to hear more!😁
This was so very helpful. Thank you!
Love your passion for teaching about nutrition! After baby I started Noom and it’s basically everything you’re saying! I used to eat so much less and never lost weight but when I started eating healthy and listening to my body and also enjoying foods I love in moderation it really does work and you also feel better! Also! My sourdough starter is on day 7 and I’ve started a loaf of sourdough bread!!! So excited to see if it comes out good!
I loved this video! You explain everything so well.
I love learning about nutrition and with all the information out there everything gets so overwhelming and confusing but I loved your explanations.
Would love more videos like this about nutrition and food pairing at meal time!
Also, do you have any videos on nutrition for kids? My kids (3 & 1.5 years) seem to only want to eat their carbs and sometimes their protein. What tips do you have to help them eat more balanced?
They definitely seem to go through phases but I want to better equip myself to teach them.
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m so happy to have found you! ❤
Thank you so much for this breakdown 💛
I did keto for 4 years. When I could no longer sustain that way of eating (because I got unwell) I struggled so much with eating carbs again. It gave me a real issue with foods. I still do intermittent fasting and definitely over enjoy that breaking my fast meal. Thank you so much for all this information. I’ll be rewatching this over and over so I can take it all in.
Love love love this! What I would have done to have been in a nutrition class in high school...
Thank you! Would love to hear recommended next steps
This was fabulous! So informative and so encouraging. Thank you!
I’m saving this for future reference! Thank you.
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. Thanks for sharing!!
Aw yay thank you Katie!!
Amazing video! Loved this so much and hope to see more in the future! Thank you so much for all you do I enjoy all of your content!💗
Thank you so much Hannah!!
Thank you!!! And I love your passion!!! Im goinf to work on my nutrution and Im sure the weight will come off :)
Becca, you have been such a blessing in my wellness journey. I am so grateful for you, thank you ❤
This was the explanation I needed! I've been struggling with terrible low blood sugar episodes and no energy bc I was chronically undereating with 0 carbs (carnivore-ish).. I just started the prometabolic way of eating, and I'm feeling SO much better. I'm a new subscriber 😊
Great video thank you Becca 🫶🏾
This is the best video I have seen yet! Thank you!
So glad to hear it!! You are so welcome!
I love this video so much! I love your perspectives, thank you! I need to buy your course, just saving up!
I'll be ready for ya whenever you are! xx
Becca, you are amazing. thank you for educating us! Also, I am so distracted by your beautiful kitchen! lol. It's looking great
Loved this video!! I fell victim to the Keto trend in 2019 and I’m so over the diet mentality and have been trying to find a way to heal my mind and eat to feel good. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! ❤
I would love more videos on how we can apply this information to eat for health & still achieve weight loss over time.
Same here! ❤
This has changed my thinking completely. I appreciate you making this video! Silent follower for a few years now and it’s all starting to make sense. Love this!
This seriously makes my day!! When it all starts to CLICK and you can ditch the diet mindset, your whole life seriously can change. Powerful stuff. xx
Really informative video. Thanks for sharing.
I suffer from headaches and migraines since I was a kid. At 27 I figured out that added sugar gives me the severe migraines (throwing up,sensibility to light and sound). With each pregnancy I had (2) my sensitivity to sugar got worse. Now I get headaches from pretty much any carb I eat.Thankfully are not migraines. Sometimes I “cheat” and have about 1/4 of a banana or 5-7 cherry or something like that. If I’m lucky and not get headache from this tiny amount of carbs, my face is getting puffy.
Dr. decided to put me to on prevention medication for migraines, but in the meantime I was trying different diets ( how I figured out that the carbs were responsible for my headaches and puffiness) to see how can avoid a life time on pills.
Now I eat pretty much like a keto diet. It’s the only one that helps me not to have headaches or migraines. In 2 years on this diet I didn’t lose any weight and my blood sugar is still pretty high (95-115). Dr can’t really help me because being on this restricted diet for so long my blood work is in normal range.
LOVE this video!! More plssss
Needed this one today 💕
First. I love your videos. I've been watching since the beginning. I am on my path to become a registered dietician. Thank you so much for the inspiration
I love the chat style video. I'm headed over to get your free download and hoping it has an overview of this material. If not, I will come back here with pen and paper and taking notes!
Baca I can’t thank you enough for this video. It was so informative and well explained. Everything made so much sense and the timing of this video is just perfect as I’ve been trying to do keto for the last month but have not been able to stop binging on carbs regardless of how much fat and protein I was consuming. Thank you again for this priceless information. God bless you and your family xx
So glad you found it so helpful! The body needs carbs :) God bless you too!
Hi Becca👋 I really like the chit chat vids like this just talking about nutrition! I understand better like im just listening to a friend 😊 Maybe a vid on how to lower bad cholesterol thats what i struggle with ❤
Loved the video! Motivates me to select higher quality food so I can actually nourish my body. I would be that person thinking pizza or a burger checks all the boxes. I love your What I Eat In A Day videos to see an example of nutrient dense eating. More examples of good choices of nutrition would be great
Great advice ❤
I have zero desire to eat junk at all. I’ve never felt so good in my life. I have so much energy and confidence now. I’m dreading going to visit some family because they eat awful and I don’t want to do it. What is the best way to approach that? I thought about pre making meals and eating that when we are there. I’m mostly anxious because no one around us supports healthy eating and basically laugh at us for wanting to be non-toxic and cutting out all the bad things. The bad things don’t taste good anymore and make me feel sick.
I want to take your program soon! I definitely need your help. You are a blessing to all of us ❤
Thanks Becca!
Love the video! I've recently been trying to eat more intuitively and being more mindful of the quality of food I'm using to fuel my body. Can you make a video on how to choose quality foods while on a budget?
i literally cried hearing this! ❤️
Love your videos! ❤ I have learned so much about food and the body through your videos. You could even load your dishwasher while talking and I would love to watch😂
LOL just made my day!!!
Love. Seriously sometimes we can hear these things but the noise of the diet culture gets so loud and drowns out the facts. Thank you for refreshing our memories and/or teaching us new stuff!
Thank you so much ❤
Really helpful thankyou x
Thank you!!!!
Absolute GOLD Becca. Thank you! I’m 7 weeks PP with baby #3 and wrestling with how to navigate nourishing my body while also feeling my best physically. If you’d be willing to share more about your relationship with food after babies, I’m positive other mamas would love to hear!
YES!! I would love this too!!
Yes would be happy to do a video on this! I have thoughts for sure LOL
This video was so helpful! Thank you for explaining a balanced, stress free eating lifestyle that nourishes the body and helps us feel our best. It would be so helpful to me if you made some videos that show what nourishing balanced meals look like. Your passion for this topic really shines through! ❤ Connie
She has a lot of these videos
I share lots of meal ideas / what I eat in a days on here! Hopefully that helps! xx
Hi there! Do you have any books you would recommend on this topic? Something that isn't too scientific, but still educational and a good read. Thank you!
I totally agree with this however I do avoid grains for my carbohydrates. Reason I do this is just to avoid glyphosate and I don’t digest it well. I mainly do lots of root veggies and fruits and legumes for carbs😊
Life changing ❤ I have to find balance … so you have a video of a healthy balance of eating??
Amazing video ❤❤❤
Very informative , great video.
Glad it was helpful!
I agree with what you are saying. I have interstitial cystitis and IBS which means I have many foods and drinks that I can’t eat like chocolate, dairy, whole wheat and spicy foods including tomatoes so it has made me develop a bad relationship with food, and since I literally can’t have it I crave it and cave in and eat it. I will actually over eat like you said. Then I am sick taking meds to try to cover up my symptoms. It is a horrible cycle to be in. It would be much easier if I could eat it in moderation. In my case it is bad for me so it is hard to not tell myself it is not bad. Sometimes telling myself this is not nourishing for my body and will make me sick helps and sometimes it don’t.😢
This is definitely tricky to navigate! The way I look at it: one of the main principles of nourished eating is to eat to fuel your body & feel your best. If there are certain foods that don't make you feel your best, you're probably going to want to avoid them mostly. BUT - how you approach this situation mentally makes all the difference. Let's say you want chocolate....YOU have the power, not the chocolate. It's just a food. So it's a shift of "chocolate is bad for me, I can't have it." to "I can have it if I want it. But do I want it? Do I want the negative side effects that come with it today?" YOU are in control, you get to call the shots. Some days you may say you know what I want it and I'll deal with the cons. Other days you may feel like ehh not worth it. When you take the power away from the food, it becomes less enticing. You may find you are completely satisfied with something else sweet that doesn't cause you any discomfort. That's empowered, intuitive eating :) Hope this makes sense!
@@BeccaBristow Thank you so much for this much needed advice! I will write this down and put on my fridge so it will remind me to approach it in a different way. Thank you!
Hey Becca, Long time follower. In response to your audience question concerning what we would like to see…one word, practical. Show us how to cook those healthy veggies. Maybe feature a veggie of the week and what you can do with it. If most people are like me, I struggle to get in enough veggies. I think most folks have fruit and meat/protein down pat. We could all benefit from more veg in our lives. Please, show us how to cook those veggie sides to round out our meals. Thanks for all you do. Keep the great vids coming. ✝️ -Wendy, from Alabama
Easiest it to put them on a sheet pan with some avocado or olive oil, salt and pepper and garlic powder and roast them… most veggies you’ll find 400 degrees for 20-30 is perfect
Becca I have followed your content for so many years and it’s my favorite place to come here on UA-cam. I am a Registered Nurse in Texas and have seen first hand what our current health care system has to offer and it’s not sustainable for people. With that being said, I’ve been thinking of different paths of helping people in my community where I can have a bigger impact in lifestyle choices. Would you recommend someone with a RN license to go back to become a RD? I know people complete nutrition classes but I don’t feel there is a standard since there are so many. I have looked into IFN Academy for functional nutritional eduction. I could use any guidance that you may have for someone in my shoes! I feel so lost in how I can help people best with food and disease prevention vs the reaction system we use today. Thank you!!!!
What are your thoughts on Trim Healthy Mama? I have done it twice, lost weight and gain it back when I'm not separating my fuels. I'm frustrated because I don't want to separate my foods for the rest of my life, but it works when I do it. I'm not a good intuitive eater but I'm so very fed up with restrictions, dieting and trying to lose weight. I'm 47, 3 children and about 30 lbs overweight!
Hi Becca!
I really enjoy your channel, I’ve learned so much. I have a question regarding sourdough starter. When I store it in the fridge, do I keep the lid loose or do I close it tight to keep the air out?
Always leave the lid loose so it can breathe! :)
@@BeccaBristow Thank you sooo much for responding. I was afraid I might kill my new starter. 😊
Hi, there is a typo on your thumbnails. It says with and not will.
I love following you and all the information you put out. What would you suggest for someone who really does need to loose weight? I am afraid to diet because of the negative things you’ve said and the after effects and I have been trying to focus on listening to my body and combining fat, protein and fiber with carbs but I’m not loosing any weight at all. I’ve gained a couple pounds since even having my son over a year ago. So I haven’t lost the baby weight and I’m still gaining weight.
In order to lose weight you need to consume less calories than you burn.
I would encourage you to shift your mindset - to let go of a certain weight goal and instead focus on instilling healthy, sustainable behaviors overall. Nourishing foods, listening to your body, movement, stress mgmt, finding balance/satisfaction without bingeing etc. This is not necessarily the easier road - it's much easier to diet or restrict and lose a certain amt of weight, but that won't last in the long term. We focus so heavily on weight when it is so much more out of our control than we are led to believe (imagine trying to change your height...you wouldn't.) Weight CAN fluctuate and it is possible to be overweight, but the way I look at it is this - if you are truly taking care of yourself (doing all the things I mentioned above) then your weight at that point is your body's preferred weight and where you are meant to be.
@@BeccaBristow thank you. I feel like I have been trying this for so long and no matter the weight, it’s just easy to reference, I am not healthy or happy with the way my body feels and functions. I also have PCOS and my life style used to be very active when now I’m home with 3 kids (my husband is home evenings and weekends but very tired) and I feel like I’m constantly stressed and having to give all of myself to others. So I’ve been trying to take care of myself as suggested but then have times when I’m completely overwhelmed and just do what I have to do to get by and notice I turn to food sometimes for stress relief but isn’t that listening to my body? If my body is telling me to eat cookies and I do should I not worry about that or is that not good?
So what do you do when vegetables and fruits tend to make you sick? Respectfully asking because its been a struggle and I'm being evaluated for Autoimmune disorders now because of it.
Could be a lot of different factors! I'm not sure what you mean by sick, but so much of the time GI distress (not sure if that's what your referring to, just guessing) is related to stress and not the food itself
Could you make a video for people with mcas and histamine. Idk what to eat anymore. I cant eat nuts seeds beans soy. Idk what to snack on and eat
Aww thank you Katelyn! SLOWLY coming together lolol
uhhh this is exactly what happened to me while breastfeeding on an elimination diet. now my metabolism is so slow and i weigh more than ever
Would love to follow how you eat
But due to food allergies n tum that now not keen on citrus
But please carry on I watch see what I can alter
But as u don’t mention us folk who have serious food allergies I carry a epipen so have to take food serious
When you talk about sugar it can be just eat fruits? My chocolates are sugar free is this bad? I’m very interested
Fruit is a major source of carbohydrates! They are naturally fiber rich which helps with steadier blood sugar. Nature doesn't make bad carbs ;) There are plenty of other nourishing sources of carbohydrates tho, you don't have to limit yourself to just fruit. And personally if I'm going to have chocolate I would just prefer the real thing
Do you have any videos on how nutrition can help manage ADHD in moms or kids?
I know excercise has become one of the top treatment modalities for ADHD... wondering about how nutrition might help give an edge.
So, how do you lose body fat without losing muscle? How can you eat so your body selects fat stores rather than muscle mass?
Autumn Bates here is a nutritionist and makes great videos about intermittent fasting (no extremes at all) and nourishing your body while helping achieve a weight loss goal. Super helpful!
I think she mentions it is impossible to have your body be selective to burn fat vs muscle stores and it always happens at the same time. My guess would be to aim to lose weight slowly and by incorporating some form of strength training? Maybe you will get a response!
Great video, how about showing us some nutritional plates to eat. Break it down. Nutrition for dummies lol
Like actual meal idea you mean?
Yes
I eat homemade sourdough everyday!! You say it’s not good for you but I disagree
We eat something sourdough everyday! Def wasn't me who said that lol
There’s no veggies in pizza sauce
One thing about your food is fuel example is that fake food is a billion dollar industry 😢 so these giant companies aren’t gonna give up that Dorito and Oreo money 😂
Yup unfortunately our food system is so backwards. :(
its very hard to know what is actually healthy with so much conflicting information out there - there must be a way to safely lose weight if you need to and also, how can there be so many different opinions on what is healthy - one Dr. says carnivore is the healthiest diet citing all the substances in plants that are harmful and of course the vegan doctors continue to say dairy and meat will kill you. i literally don't know what to eat anymore.
There are so many conflicting opinions because: EVERY body is different. Someone may thrive on veganism while most others will become malnourished overtime. This is why I encourage people to try out new things but LISTEN to your body and pay attention to how you feel. There is no one size fits all. Never will be. Which is why eating intuitively with thoughtful nourishment (actually understanding/applying nutrition, eating quality real food etc) is the only way to be a) healthy & satisfied in the long term and b) free from the endless cycling of dieting
@@BeccaBristow that does make sense - i have tried the vegan/vegetarian diet - and i just don't feel good - low energy and hungry all the time!!! and i wasn't eating vegan junk food either!!! -
Truly so thankful for this video! So clear and helpful - thank you Becca! Have loved the the WIEAD videos already, and this video added so much value! Hope you do more like it!! :-)
So glad to hear that!! xx
