What has helped me as a snack is just having raw peeled carrots. Something about their texture makes me very satiated. And due to a busy routine as a regular dinner I tend to go with a chicken or turkey burrito (tons of salad and a slice of turkey or chicken breast)
I started following you recently and I love your approach to a healthy lifestyle. There’s no fat-shaming or talk of “fat body = bad” just more so listen to your mind and body and do what’s right for it. You’re amazing. Thank you for your videos!! I’m currently trying to get myself back -40lbs which I had lost after having two kids, but then gained back during pandemic stress eating 😕 Thanks for the helpful tips and encouragement ❤️❤️
Lucy, please could you do a video about hormones/pms type thing n how that affects food/craving and exercise? I struggle SO BADLY with negative head/literally NO motivation and complete exhaustion 2 weeks before and up to my period, it's awful, I can do workouts etc for the other 2 weeks but I don't do anything, and it makes me feel like I've failed every time. I have a meal plan, that's healthy and balanced but again in that 2 weeks before I just want to eat more, it drives me crazy. You've mentioned you learning about hormones and exercise in a video a month or so ago so just wondered if you could do one about this to share your knowledge and experience and amazingness! I think there's probably loads of other women how struggle with this too ❤️
Yes I’ve actually been planning a video all about that so hopefully it’ll be up in the next few weeks!! Thank you for the suggestion and kind words ❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I am much the same, I fluctuate a lot during the cycle. Something I recently realized is that because we have different peaks and lows of hormones during the cycle, switching up the diet to match those hormones is very helpful. You can research "cycle syncing" and try it out while you wait for a new Lucy video :)
@@monkeymamaa thanks so much! It can feel so all over the place can't it, n some ppl don't seem affected by it me clearly for us it changes our bodies a lot! I'll look it up, thanks hun, hope you have a good day xx
Same! I do really good the first half of my cycle and as soon as I ovulate, I am soooo hungry. I'm trying to experiment to see what will work for me. What I'm thinking about trying is keeping my calories at around 1500 pre ovulation and giving myself up to 1700 calories post ovulation. This still keeps me at a deficit, just slightly less. I'm hoping the extra 200 calories a day will keep me stay sane, and allow me to indulge in some of those intense PMS cravings, but it's still keeping me in check so I don't go crazy during those 2 weeks and eat everything in sight lol. I don't know if it will work, but I'm going to give it a try. I'd rather lose weight at a slower rate for those 2 weeks and not be miserable because as soon as I get miserable I tend to give up altogether which is not good. This is supposed to be a lifestyle change after all. I really hope this works and helps me to stay on track, and I hope you find something that works for you as well.
Love this! I started out losing with Noom using similar tricks plus I was tracking calories, but after about 7 months I stopped tracking my food and have still been losing. Down 70lbs now and it doesn’t feel that hard when you can still eat what you want in moderation.
@@Alba4 I started out calorie counting and just cutting portion sizes of the high calorie foods and mixing in veggies like Lucy did. The biggest thing was cutting out eating massive bags of chips on the regular and instead enjoying either a small measured portion or just keeping busy and finding something else to do in the evenings. I also stopped drinking pop daily and switched to water, non calorie sparkling waters or tea. I still have the very occasional soda, just not daily. I upped my water intake drastically since I rarely drank water before. It helps keep my body hydrated but also fills my tummy between meals. I joined Noom which has a calorie tracker as well as psychologic articles to read to try to figure out why you eat the way you do, why you want to lose the weight/get healthier (the BIG reason why). They give you a goal specialist who helps figure out small goals to set one at a time to reach your goals. It was very helpful for me at the beginning, but now that I intuitively know what I need to do, I don’t use it much anymore.
I tried the pancakes this morning and it was lovely, thanks for the recipe! Some modifications: I didn’t have the flavour drops so I used a tsp of maple syrup instead. I used Alpro coconut yoghurt and swapped the raisins for a dusting of cinnamon.
I'm currently on a weight loss journey and already lost a little over 10 lbs. The main thing for me is making healthier versions of the food I love and portion controlling. I make sure I'm in a calorie deficit. In the beginning I did some tracking to know how many calories my meals are worth. It's like relearning to eat properly because I was just stuffing my face with food because it's just too tasty and I was scared of missing out.
Hi! If you like glass noodles or kelp noodles, they make GREAT Pad Thai as well. Less calories and more filling then the traditional rice noodles :) If you want to take it further, papaya if zucchini strips also work!
Thank you for all the great ideas! I've been cutting my portions in the last few months and I've lost almost 5 kg (not that I had much to lose!). I think the body adapts to the amount of eating you usually have, I used to snack a lot and without any control and the moment I changed this to more healthier options I was a bit hungry at first but now I'm completely used to and don't get hungry anymore. Vegetables are great because you can eat large portions and it's super low caloric, I never thought about combining pasta with brocoli, I will definitely try it 😋 I'm still eating pizza and burger once a week but I try to compensate it with healthy foods other days and make a light version by buying the turkey burger and not putting too much sauce and I also make my own tuna pizza with light mozzarella which is delicious (luckily my fave pizzas are tuna and mushroom pizza 😆)
To me, how you navigated your nutrition & the dance you've had to do with your mind & habits is equally as impressive as your calisthenics skills. I'm always grateful to hear & learn more, thank you L 👌👍
I was hesitating a bit on whether or not to click on this video because I thought "oh there's another one of these videos, again". In the past few years I have been trying to lose weight and watched a million videos on weight loss. But what I want to say is, your video is different. This is the first time I can actually see me incorporate the tricks you said into my life. Because for the first time I don't have to restrict myself and then crave the things I want even more. I think this is such a healthy approach and also something that you can do for a longer period of time or even all your life. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and also making it seem easier than a lot of other people. I value this a lot and I hope this message gets to you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️
I went on an anniversary trip last month and the place we stayed at had a water station set up and every day they put something different in the water. I was pleasantly surprised to realize the orange water was my absolute favorite! I used to put lemon in my water/sparkling water, but now I use orange and it's so refreshing and delicious!!!
You mean so much to me and my weight loss/health journey. You are provide such a holistic, practical and enjoyable advice to starting and maintaining a healthy life style and I have benefited so much from it. Especially, your approach to cultivating a healthy mindset towards exercise and nutrition and life overall is my favorite part. So grateful to have found you on UA-cam. God bless you!!
For me i really also need something to munch on between meals. I really like the flavoured rice cakes. They can come in flavours similar to crisps/chips and they are usually only 100ish calories per small pack of 3 that I get. Perfect for a snack or if I am really feeling unsatisfied
This was really helpful. It’s refreshing to know that you can lose weight with the food you love as long as it’s the healthier version or controlling the portion
I really love your energy and positive way of looking at life! I’m wondering how you differently once you have reached your goals? Do you still eat similarly or did you increase your calories?
Could you also share the timings of each time you ate...or atleast the time gap between the meals. It would really help me to understand for how long it is supposed to keep you full and stop me from eating impulsively.
Always enjoying videos about nutrition and eating. And thanks for recipes i had to try Pad Thai, it looks to nice. For me when i was dieting i realize that i eat more volume than before but with less calories in meals. I can eat loots of food so cutting on portion was not good idea for me. Btw for peoples that love pizza try doing base with egg whites and regular flour to the point that dough is more like pancakes dough and just pour it to the baking pan, put it to oven on like 10 minutes and meantime prepare your topings until pizza base is done, put your toping in and give it another 10 - 15 minutes in oven on 220C.
Made the pad Thai dish- love it!! I had no idea making healthy pad Thai was so easy! Thanks so much! Few changes I made: added red bell pepper ( just what I had in my fridge at the time) and some spinach. Delicious!
Ahh you make it sounds so easy! 🤩 I feel like because I can’t remember a time when I didn’t try to monitor or overcalculate what I’m having, I don’t event know what my “autopilot” way of eating is anymore. But your advice is still very sound for me, because it encourages to not overthink and just use common sense. At the end of the day, all it is, is slightly less food, slightly more movement ❤️
Just wanted to say a big thanks for your brilliant videos as always, you’ve taught me that this is a long term thing and it makes me feel hopeful that I can lose a big of weight. I’ve managed to maintain a dress size of size 16 for about 10 years, but just looking to drop a dress size at the moment. Really appreciate you not encouraging people to cut out carbs! You’d be surprised with how many do, and it’s not sustainable for me as I love them too much, and also your receipes are so easy and ingredients inexpensive which I really appreciate! Would love to you know if you ever do takeaways? At the moment I get takeaways around 4 times a month and try and swap out fried rice with home cooked rice, but any tips on kicking the takeaway habit would be great!
I am always snacking raw popcorn. no salt, no sugar. its so good also if i want a full limo, then i half it with sprinkling water. still tastes so good, for me honestly even more and its not so sugary any more
We enjoy having peach tea with soda water or mineral water . Peach tea on its own is full of sugar and calories so we treat like a cordial. Just pour a little in the glass and go in with bubbly water. Also works with orange juice and sugary soft drinks. You get the flavour without the additional calories!
This looks delicious💕I use chic pea flour in mine and it’s clean as it’s pea protein and doesn’t have a yucky taste! Worth a try! I’m a Canadian pancake 🥞 lover❣️
Was worried you were going to put banana in the pancakes, and I just can't stand banana 😅 but I'm super keen to give them a go! Especially love that they're a single portion too ❤️
Such good practical ideas, thank you! I definitely want to try your pad thai recipe. The family size chocolate bar - I feel so seen lol, I'm going to get some of the fun size like you suggested. If you love milky lattes, oat milk is the closest to dairy milk that I've tried - a barista recommended it to me and I love it! It's missing protein but lighter and lactose intolerant friendly :) I get a small one on the weekend now as a treat (mostly to save money, they're expensive where I live!) SO glad I found your channel, I'm binging it!
Pretty decent video! By adding lower calorie dense foods it allows you to increase the volume of each meal so that you can still be in a calorie deficit. Although when making those chick peas, people should be very careful when using flat oil. A tbsp of olive oil is 120 calories so if you try to eyeball it in multiple meals it's SO easy to overeat in calories.g Alot of comments here seem like they need more help so any questions, try watching channels like Jeff Nippard, Renaissance Periodization and Greg Doucette for more info on nutrition and workout and diet advice. On a side note, I'm so glad you've been able to have a successful and sustainable weight loss journey. You've worked hard and you should be proud!
@@lucylismore I will definitely try the chick pea recipe you feature here as I am always picking up a bag of salt and vinegar crisps. Btw, I forgot to mention that if you are a fan of ginger ale, you might want to give this a go. Grate a tiny piece of ginger until it's really fine and mix with some natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup or coconut nectar (maybe the MyProtein flavouring stuff might work too) and mix it into sparkling water. So good!
You guys should try air fried cauliflower/broccoli, season it and coat in flour or breadcrumbs like chicken, then put it in the air fryer till it’s crispy on the outside, DELICIOUS, I’m not even on a diet I just eat this I’m serious it’s really nice
Lucy, I would love it if you had ideas for calculating TDEE and calorie deficit while still nursing. I had a system based on info from my doctor and your channel that worked great, but 27 lbs later it’s no longer working as a deficit. I would appreciate any thoughts!
Love your videos, I always struggle with things to take to work, we have a microwave so can reheat stuff but a video on work lunches would be ace :D Thank you
Oh, actual noodles aren't the devil? We shouldn't replace all spaghetti with zucchini? I've been following your cali videos as I started trying to get in shape a bit and they are great. I can feel that first push up is around the corner. This is the first food centered video I've watched from you though, and I have to say, I'd subscribe twice if I could.
Hi Lucy. Just found your channel. My weight has gone up over the last 2 years. However I'm now getting myself in a better frame of mind and the weight is starting to come off. I have lost 10lbs over the last 3 months, so it's coming off slowly. I am 64 years old and run a pub therefore my eating times for most of the week are later than I would like. I do try to eat before I go and open up but don't to eat too much because there's always a lot of reaching up or bending down. I try and eat around 1pm but then wouldn't normally get home until 11.30. Any suggestions to pack up and take with me to the pub please to eat while I am on shift. Although not always possible on Fridays and Saturdays. The recipe suggestions you give are brilliant and I love the pancakes in this video. What type of flour did you use please? Looking forward to checking out more of your videos, regards Mrs Jay Topham
I like your vids, but it looked to me as if your portions were quite big. I can’t lose anything (104 kgs) sounds ridiculous that I can’t lose anything, exercise every day, but I still haven’t progressed. In my angst I’m trying to mainly eat twice a day without snacking but very difficult. My portions don’t seem that large but at the moment, everything is very depressing.🙁
First you shouldn't cut out meals your body has probably gone into survival mode. This means it holds onto fat as it feels it wont be getting food anytime soon. Second Lucy is super fit and a exercises alot. This is great but when you start you wont be the same as your body isn't there yet. 3 meals a day snack on fruit and exercise watch your portion size you should lose weight if not seek a personal trainer that can advise you on healthy eating as well. If you cant afford this then sit down write down a healthy meal plan for 2 weeks and stick to it. As Lucy does analyse every meal to see how you can make it as healthy as possible. It's not easy you will fall off the wagon but it's up to you to pull yourself back on it. Writs a letter to yourself telling yourself what a difference it will make yo your life losing weight (I.e less breathless clothes fitting better more energy) . Keep it safe then if you falter get it out and remind yourself . Dont be so hard on yourself losing weight is tough keeping it off is tougher. You can do this 💜
my boyfriend orders a lot of fast food and when he offers to give me some of his food or order for me its really hard to say no- i don't know what to do 😭 my willpower is lacking
If you are in a good relationship it would probably be worth talking to him if you are serious about eating healthier and asking for his support. I am lucky that my partner wants to get healthier with me but at the least he should be happy to support you in what you want to achieve!
Willpower isn't enough, it is a bound to fail strategy anyway You have to love yourself enough and/or rely on habits in order to succeed in the long run
@lucylismore Thank you for this video. I have a significant amount of weight to loose and am recovering from a knee operation. Just a quick question - what would you suggest as a replacement for the chickpea snack as I am allergic to all legumes? I used to eat beans all the time until I found out that I’m allergic to them. Your thoughts would be appreciated. G’day from down under 👋🏼 This video was super helpful. Thank you.
Hey Lucy I really love your recipes.Just a quick question...I started Keto a week ago today and kinda feel like I am getting a hang of it.What is your opinion on Keto(to lose weight) and then introduce carbs back into your life again and following a more healthier lifestyle like your videos advise?
Thanks for the recipes! I would also suggest using Shirataki or Konjac noodles for cooking. They are so low in calories and high in fibre. It just takes a little bit of time to get used to its texture, compared to eating rice noodles.
How is your psoraisis while eating this food.. Do you use some pharmaceutical cream to hide the skin rush? I see many NON-friendly psoriasis ingredients in your diet , that's why I asked the question
Why does this beautiful woman live so far away from me. Do you know that feeling, when you meet someone so atractive, you are just stunned? Propably start to stutter, embarase your self and get cold sweat. This girls face just melts my heart.
I am new to this account and recently started my journey towards a fitter tommrow... I really feel this channel will help me a lot... I really struggle to count calories... Could someone please me with it.
Hey there, I have a absolutely unrelated question. I am not a native speaker and was wondering what (specific) accent is your (our Lucy's, if any other native speaker can answer this) accent? I just cannot place it, but I would like to know :)
She's from the UK but she had spent some years in Australia. So could be a mix of the two, with a bit more of a Brit accent, that's making it hard to place
@@angelag471 ah, maybe I should have been Note specific 😊 I can hear the british accent and was wondering where exactly this accent is from :) Thank you nonetheless :)
I have the same concept for meals with you. Switch to low calorie things. But I have one problem, every one or two weeks, I really want to go have some break and cake things, I'm really into those things. I also share some of my meals in my vedio, check them if you‘d like.
As someone who’s struggled with binging this is so nice to hear ! Still having what you love in different ways ! Love it
“It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” Do you agree
What has helped me as a snack is just having raw peeled carrots. Something about their texture makes me very satiated. And due to a busy routine as a regular dinner I tend to go with a chicken or turkey burrito (tons of salad and a slice of turkey or chicken breast)
Yes I ate raw carrots too!

I’m currently trying to get myself back -40lbs which I had lost after having two kids, but then gained back during pandemic stress eating 😕 Thanks for the helpful tips and encouragement ❤️❤️
Lucy, please could you do a video about hormones/pms type thing n how that affects food/craving and exercise?

2 shots of espresso and vanilla protein drink together has been my go to
This video is going to be so fun. Thank u lucy for the information
Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am going to make the chickpea snacks tomorrow, looks so good!
I am so glad your doing this videos. I tried to lose weight before the unhealthy ways only to put it all back on. I am so ashamed of myself
Had the pancakes today...so filling yum! Will try the pad thai later! Thank you
Was worried you were going to put banana in the pancakes, and I just can't stand banana 😅 but I'm super keen to give them a go! Especially love that they're a single portion too ❤️
Salt and vinegar,my favorite.Thanks so much for sharing
This is so helpful. Thank you for sharing, Lucy!
Some awesome ideas :) Love the s&v chickpeas! Can’t wait to make them :)
Great video Lucy. You remind me of Cindy Crawford and Bindi Irwin 💜.

Pretty decent video! By adding lower calorie dense foods it allows you to increase the volume of each meal so that you can still be in a calorie deficit. Although when making those chick peas, people should be very careful when using flat oil. A tbsp of olive oil is 120 calories so if you try to eyeball it in multiple meals it's SO easy to overeat in calories.g
Alot of comments here seem like they need more help so any questions, try watching channels like Jeff Nippard, Renaissance Periodization and Greg Doucette for more info on nutrition and workout and diet advice.
On a side note, I'm so glad you've been able to have a successful and sustainable weight loss journey. You've worked hard and you should be proud!
Just tried the pancake recipe . Amazing !
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥞💓
Such a no-nonsence approach 👍
This is super helpful, Lucy! Thanks! I love salt and vinegar too and I'm not Brit. 😆
Thank you! Ohhhh it is the BEST 👏🏻👏🏻. Glad there is another fan of it! ❤️😁
@@lucylismore I will definitely try the chick pea recipe you feature here as I am always picking up a bag of salt and vinegar crisps. Btw, I forgot to mention that if you are a fan of ginger ale, you might want to give this a go. Grate a tiny piece of ginger until it's really fine and mix with some natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup or coconut nectar (maybe the MyProtein flavouring stuff might work too) and mix it into sparkling water. So good!
You guys should try air fried cauliflower/broccoli, season it and coat in flour or breadcrumbs like chicken, then put it in the air fryer till it’s crispy on the outside, DELICIOUS, I’m not even on a diet I just eat this I’m serious it’s really nice
Lucy, I would love it if you had ideas for calculating TDEE and calorie deficit while still nursing. I had a system based on info from my doctor and your channel that worked great, but 27 lbs later it’s no longer working as a deficit. I would appreciate any thoughts!
Dinner looks so little... 😫 maybe I'll add more broccoli 🥦😁
Love the idea of the salt and vinegar chickpeas... making them right now😋
needed this so much!! thank you
❤️❤️❤️❤️ yayyy!
Love your videos, I always struggle with things to take to work, we have a microwave so can reheat stuff but a video on work lunches would be ace :D Thank you
You should rinse your chickpeas before drying them to make them easier to digest
Thank you for everythinggggggg you help me so much
Very interesting video 😊😊
Lucy love your hair Sis! Can you give us your hair process.
Oh, actual noodles aren't the devil? We shouldn't replace all spaghetti with zucchini? I've been following your cali videos as I started trying to get in shape a bit and they are great. I can feel that first push up is around the corner. This is the first food centered video I've watched from you though, and I have to say, I'd subscribe twice if I could.
Hi Lucy. Just found your channel. My weight has gone up over the last 2 years. However I'm now getting myself in a better frame of mind and the weight is starting to come off. I have lost 10lbs over the last 3 months, so it's coming off slowly. I am 64 years old and run a pub therefore my eating times for most of the week are later than I would like. I do try to eat before I go and open up but don't to eat too much because there's always a lot of reaching up or bending down. I try and eat around 1pm but then wouldn't normally get home until 11.30. Any suggestions to pack up and take with me to the pub please to eat while I am on shift. Although not always possible on Fridays and Saturdays. The recipe suggestions you give are brilliant and I love the pancakes in this video. What type of flour did you use please? Looking forward to checking out more of your videos, regards Mrs Jay Topham
What type of noodles did you use for the Pad Thai? Super excited to try it out 😁
I used rice noodles from the supermarket but you could probably use a few different varieties if you enjoy the taste! ❤️❤️
My Fitbit has a food tracking feature that includes calories. Great way to track your daily allotment.
Loved this video, definitely subscribing 🙌🏻
What an inspo 💖
❤️ thank you! X
I like your vids, but it looked to me as if your portions were quite big. I can’t lose anything (104 kgs) sounds ridiculous that I can’t lose anything, exercise every day, but I still haven’t progressed. In my angst I’m trying to mainly eat twice a day without snacking but very difficult. My portions don’t seem that large but at the moment, everything is very depressing.🙁
First you shouldn't cut out meals your body has probably gone into survival mode. This means it holds onto fat as it feels it wont be getting food anytime soon.
Second Lucy is super fit and a exercises alot. This is great but when you start you wont be the same as your body isn't there yet.
3 meals a day snack on fruit and exercise watch your portion size you should lose weight if not seek a personal trainer that can advise you on healthy eating as well.
If you cant afford this then sit down write down a healthy meal plan for 2 weeks and stick to it. As Lucy does analyse every meal to see how you can make it as healthy as possible.
It's not easy you will fall off the wagon but it's up to you to pull yourself back on it.
Writs a letter to yourself telling yourself what a difference it will make yo your life losing weight (I.e less breathless clothes fitting better more energy) . Keep it safe then if you falter get it out and remind yourself .
Dont be so hard on yourself losing weight is tough keeping it off is tougher. You can do this 💜
Love your videos
Excellent video, cool and easy to follow, thanks
Have you tried the bold salt and vinegar almonds omg super good 😊
These sounds amazing!!
Love your recipe videos.
my boyfriend orders a lot of fast food and when he offers to give me some of his food or order for me its really hard to say no- i don't know what to do 😭 my willpower is lacking
If you are in a good relationship it would probably be worth talking to him if you are serious about eating healthier and asking for his support. I am lucky that my partner wants to get healthier with me but at the least he should be happy to support you in what you want to achieve!
Willpower isn't enough, it is a bound to fail strategy anyway
You have to love yourself enough and/or rely on habits in order to succeed in the long run
when i diet i noticed that soysauce is really bad as it has a lot of salt so i try to avoid it more and stick with normal salt or vinegar
It would be helpful if you could put the calories of the food somewhere
Thank you, I will try and do that more often in the future ❤️
@@lucylismore Thank you i appreciate that :)
@lucylismore Thank you for this video. I have a significant amount of weight to loose and am recovering from a knee operation. Just a quick question - what would you suggest as a replacement for the chickpea snack as I am allergic to all legumes? I used to eat beans all the time until I found out that I’m allergic to them. Your thoughts would be appreciated. G’day from down under 👋🏼
This video was super helpful. Thank you.
Hey Lucy I really love your recipes.Just a quick question...I started Keto a week ago today and kinda feel like I am getting a hang of it.What is your opinion on Keto(to lose weight) and then introduce carbs back into your life again and following a more healthier lifestyle like your videos advise?
I can’t wait to try your pad thai recipe!!
Ist is Great To keep some frozen fruits in the sparkling water,
We’re you left with loose skin afterwards?
Thanks for the recipes! I would also suggest using Shirataki or Konjac noodles for cooking. They are so low in calories and high in fibre. It just takes a little bit of time to get used to its texture, compared to eating rice noodles.
do you have time schedule for your eating? Like no more eating after 8pm. Thanks ❤️
I need to start cooking more 😳
😁😁😁
How is your psoraisis while eating this food.. Do you use some pharmaceutical cream to hide the skin rush?
I see many NON-friendly psoriasis ingredients in your diet , that's why I asked the question
You aré so beautiful!. Thanks for your motivational vídeos
Aww, thank you!
Why does this beautiful woman live so far away from me. Do you know that feeling, when you meet someone so atractive, you are just stunned? Propably start to stutter, embarase your self and get cold sweat. This girls face just melts my heart.
Creepy
What can one do to gain muscles on their arms like you?? Please guide me..
I am new to this account and recently started my journey towards a fitter tommrow... I really feel this channel will help me a lot... I really struggle to count calories... Could someone please me with it.
If I am in a cal deficit, does it matter if I eat a lot of carbs?
Hey there, I have a absolutely unrelated question. I am not a native speaker and was wondering what (specific) accent is your (our Lucy's, if any other native speaker can answer this) accent? I just cannot place it, but I would like to know :)
She's from the UK but she had spent some years in Australia. So could be a mix of the two, with a bit more of a Brit accent, that's making it hard to place
@@angelag471 ah, maybe I should have been Note specific 😊
I can hear the british accent and was wondering where exactly this accent is from :)
Thank you nonetheless :)
❤️
I have the same concept for meals with you. Switch to low calorie things. But I have one problem, every one or two weeks, I really want to go have some break and cake things, I'm really into those things. I also share some of my meals in my vedio, check them if you‘d like.
the chickpeas are so moreish,I tend to eat them all at once
👏👏👏👏
I miss sandwiches 😫 I’m gluten free now… and the gluten free bread sucks 😂
So I have a question... how many grams is your chocolate?🍫
1st
Yay!!
wha ay ey in e day :) jk lucy ilysm
