"Al dante" had me rolling, I'm picturing the circles of hell full of perfectly cooked pasta
My Italian mom would have been cringing lol. But love the content none the less
Too many chillies would turn pasta into Inferno 😆😆🤣
@@annawitter5161 hahaha true
Haha it’s where you go when you overcook pasta.
Al dante's peak.
Would it be possible for a future video on how to gain lean muscle mass while losing fat? There's so much conflicting information online that its difficult to know what to eat or drink. Thank you.
i agreeee
I would also love some info on this! It’s so hard for me to get enough protein without eating meat all the time. I’m not strictly a vegetarian but I just…. don’t like meat that much.
@@alxndria1 Meat is also incredibly expensive in both monetary and calories if you have to get the cheaper cuts that are not lean.
@@alxndria1Personally, I like to eat Greek Yogurt almost daily, but in different ways. With some berries and maple syrup one day, the next as a smoothie (bowl), the next day with granola, and so on. That’s how I easily get in at least 20g of extra protein. It’s also a great dessert if your meal itself isn’t as high in protein as you’d like it to be.
In the mean time, Layne Norton, Renaissance Periodization, and Jeff Nippard UA-cam channels have really informed science-backed content on body recomp. ❤
I know you're not all about weight loss but thanks for meeting some of us where we're at and offering up some good suggestions. A lot of food for thought for sure!
It seems like if other people did some of these things in a "what I eat in a day", they would be critiqued on them. The line between trying to lose weight and disordered eating is quite thin.
it absolutely can be. and that's why intention is key. are you applying some of these gentle tweaks from a place of self care or self restriction? Thats why i say, not all of which would be right for everyone. For example, if you love mayo, dont do the mustard hack. just as i said! take what works for you and leave the rest
@@AbbeysKitchen Thank you for calling this out. I like to take a moment to remind myself why I am trying to eat healthier and select foods that work for my body - so it can perform its best and so I have energy. When we set the right intention, it emphasizes the positive aspect of the changes. Love your content!
I like adding cauliflower rice to my regular white rice. I could never make the switch to brown rice because I just hated the flavor, and couldn't fully switch to cauliflower because I hated the texture. This has been a great compromise.
love this!!
Yesss I love doing this too!
📝
Yooooo, imma need to try that. I love white rice too much to fully give it up. We had a potluck at work one year and someone brought in cauliflower mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving. It took me a hot min to figure out why the texture was off. The flavor was great tho!
i switched from low fat greek yogurt to full fat and I will NEEEVVVEERRR go back
agreeed
I diet for life but I'll never switch to low fat yogurt! It's just so gross and unsatisfying for me, I love greek and turkish yogurt
Girl, next step is to make your own yogurt! You can do it in a Dutch oven or a crockpot. It’s not hard at all and it is SO GDAMN GOOD! I use the recipe on the daring gourmet and mannnn. It’s literally just milk but tastes like dessert.
@@rachaelerin1 Do you have a link to the recipe maybe? I'm interested :)
@@TaMarAaQ enjoy! I use flour sack cloth instead of cheesecloth because then I can wash and reuse it but whatever works for you is what you should go with!
Haha I always eat a veggie plate before dinner because I am hungry and don’t want to wait for it to be done to start eating. 😂
Me too!!
I love your videos because you are very realistic, honest and understanding.
I love that Abbey is so considered to her audience ❤
love all this info, and your content and sass, always!!
This is such an useful video. I especially appreciate the fact that the hacks are additions, not restrictions and so easy to implement. Many thanks Abbey !
Awesome! I have been on this side of the internet for YEARS now and have NEVER heard some of these practical applications of the usual “limit oil” or “eat mindfully”, thank you for sharing these!!! ❤
Loved this! Would also love to see more content on lowering insulin resistance PCOS using food ♡
Mustard is better than mayo and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on 😂
If you okay dying alone on that hill then fine, 😂
1000000000000%
I'm on that hill with you! Trader joes white wine dijon mustard is amazing
I love mustard. 😊
absolutely. mustard is LIFE.
I love this series. I feel like im learning what healthy eating actually is.
Thanks for this, Abbey! I didn't know all of the tips, very helpful like always ❤
This was helpful, especially the veggies before dinner. Will definitely do this!
these were such unique and interesting tips, thank you so much for sharing!! A lot of the weight loss tips I see are just variations of "eat lower calorie foods" and I absolutely love how these were so actionable and evidence-based
8:44 This! I think this is why I prefer the Mediterranean Diet. Protein is definitely important, and I make sure to eat enough protein being over 50. But I notice a difference when I don’t have enough healthy fats and the Mediterranean Diest makes that easier for me to incorporate them into my diet.
Thank you for this brilliant advice ❤
I used to hate breakfast, and slowly I started convincing myself to have toast first before coffee (just because coffee fills me up, then I had no interest in eating) but now I’ve gotten to a point where I enjoy having eggs a few times a week (with toast and some kind of fruit, and maybe even nut butter) or I’ll have a yogurt bowl with fruit nuts and seeds. I still have my coffee, I just wait until I’m at least half done breakfast. Since I started this routine, I’ve lost 10 lbs! I haven’t changed anything else in my diet, just that. I have so much more energy now
Dude yes! I went through the same process of forcing myself to be a breakfast person. Then I randomly stopped eating breakfast to try to lower my caloric intake and I actually gained 10 pounds and was tired every single day. As corny as it sounds, breakfast is everything.
You should try some South Indian breakfast recipes like Idli, dosa, Upma, etc. They’re a bit carb heavy but there are some recipes which use sub more protein rich ingredients. I prefer savoury’s breakfast over sweet ones.😊
My husband will buy the individualized chips to help with portion control, he does this for anything that comes individually packaged in single servings. I’ve lived and visited East Asia and one thing I picked up from China was leaving the last bite of food on my plate. This is rooted in a philosophy of “sharing” for lack of a better term because people want their friends and family to have the last piece of whatever food is on the table. It can also signal of sorts that one is full (compared to an empty plate). I don’t always do this one because it’s not always feasible but, it does help with mindful eating.
So many of these tips were mind blowing! Thanks for so many great NEW tips/ info:)
Have you made a video on your ADHD? I am an adult who discovered I have ADHD later in life and I am finding it more and more challenging on the daily. My biggest issue is the feeling of being overwhelmed and jumping from one task to the next because I simply can’t focus on one until it is finished because I need to get everything else done. My sleep has been greatly affected too. I would love to hear your take on your experience on ADHD as you mention in previous videos that medication has helped stop the noise in your head. I am very scared to start medication but feel like it could be life changing. Love your very candid, honest approach to life, diet and well being! Thanks for all your do!❤
I love your top, and those colors look really flattering on you.❤
Love the abundance mindset!!
the veggie plate snack while cooking dinner is such a good tip!
The candy one made me LOL, because I literally eat twice as much if they're bite sized. I can't monitor at all. Candy bowl at work - always grab a piece. I have a regular sized bar of chocolate in my cupboard I only eat on Saturdays, two squares at a time. I love to run counter to logic.
same, i'll eat a whole bag of these little kinder eggs (schokobons) in one sitting but a bar of chocolate can easily last me a month (with both being around 200g)
Same, I can’t stop eating small candy, but I usually eat a reasonable amount of the regular sized stuff.
I feel like my brain just thinks “they’re so small, it’s basically nothing” every single time a grab a new piece of candy. When I have a whole bar of chocolate, though, my brain immediately knows that one whole bar is just too much to eat at once, so I’m fine with just eating a piece of it when I really want to. But it also helps that I only buy high quality chocolate bars, so I appreciate it more when I eat it than I would appreciate mini Reese’s or mini Snickers (which are also more addictive).
My main goal hasn't been to lose weight but to manage slightly high blood sugar - but the side effect has been to lose 10 lbs "without trying". I've incorporated things that you've mentioned in other videos like eating veggies first, dressing up naked carbs, adding more lean protein, and freezing my bread.
Love this and have used a few of these too!
Eating or drinking protein in the morning reallly works for me. The hunger is lower the whole day. Love your videos!❤
super good tips and ideas
Ordered LMNT! Love your outfit, really suits your eyes!
Been watching you for years ❤love what ya do!
The Queen is back❤❤❤ Luv u Abbey ❤
woooo ❤❤
Loved this video
I love your tips Abby! Thank you.
I would really like to see a video on tips to lower cholesterol with food. The only thing I ever read is to eat oatmeal. I know you have to have better ideas.
Omg first comment! Love u sm Abbey! I always watch your videos while im eating my lunch or doing the dishes hahah, you help me stay inspired!!!
Hi! Thanks for making me part of your routine🥰
The idea of a warm tomato and spinach smoothie before each meal is simultaneously intriguing and repulsive... better call it soup! 😹
I'm such a snacker while I cook, I'm totally doing the veggie plate thing.
Love your videos Abbey!
Thanks Avery!! hope you find these tips helpful
Thanks, Abbey. Interesting content...😊
Thanks Heather!
Another hack is sharing with someone (partner, sibling, parent, etc.) This means you get to eat more of the foods you love without feeling like you can't have certain things. My husband and I will eat half of a single item (especially dessert) and this means you only consume half the calories, sugar and fat and you can't be tempted to finish the whole thing because there is none left! We do this with things like Crumbl cookies, sit down restaurant desserts and candy! Yesterday we split a regular bag of peanut M&Ms and that meant there were only 125 calories per person and they do have a small amount of protein and fiber vs some other types of candy :) Not too bad!
I really like watching your content, I am trying to set my mind straight but with so much info on the Internet it's hard. I am 325 pounds and my body just hurts. I have tried just about every diet and do well for a while then fall off so I am going to try some of these little changes! Thanks!
These are great! A bit different from what I usually see for weight loss tips. I like hearing some things that are more about the method than about switching out foods entirely - cooking habits can definitely add up in either direction.
Thank you, lady!!!❤
I am not a mayo girlie either - I swapped it out for half an avocado mashed up in tuna salad and it is SO good.
I really appreciate that you allow us to choose what is right for us rather than "you must do this to lose weight". Thanks
Can you give more ideas for using vinegar? I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country -- vinegar and sugar in combination in everything! And I detest vinegar. But if I can find a way to make it palatable I'm willing to try it. 😊
Never thought about increasing surface area to reduce oil. Nice!
I love these!
The veggie plate before dinner is such a great idea!!
The Greek yogurt tip on tuna salad is one I’m definitely gonna try out. I don’t mind a little Mayo in it but it always feels so excessive when I am making tuna salad for one
Thank you for the pre dinner veggie plate idea! I eat lunch at noon and don’t get home until about 6pm or later. The second I get home I start snacking. So I brought a veggie plate to eat on my way home. I pair it with a serving of hummus which bumps up the calories but keeps me full and satisfied until dinner!
Freezing baked goods! Why have I never thought of this 🤯 my son wants brownies every now n then so I make em n then he's good while I feel the need to get rid of it in my belly, freezing the leftovers is genius
This is definitely the best idea, my grandma would do this for cookies and cake so she wouldn’t have to always bake more. I never knew she’d also probably have this in mind.
Similar to the mayo tip, I prefer creamy dressing in my salads, but find that Ranch doesnt spread as much as I'd like. I started adding plain full fat greek yogurt with a little bit of ranch and spices (salt, pepper, dill, etc.) Seems to increase the satiety (protein) and the yogurt spreads so much further!
I'd like to try this with one of those powdered ranch seasoning, but havent tried it yet.
the vinegar thing is so funny. I have been losing some kgs and my body automatically craves either added vinegar or things like pickles!!
Thanks!
This is helpful 🎉
Love ! Love! using lentils!! With meals …. I add them to almost everything I can !! That and quinoa!!!!!
Hi Abby! I recently was binge watching some of your old videos & I remember watching one that you were trying on some new clothes you had just got. But I cannot find that video again! I've rewatched your old videos for hours & hours & find it! The clothes were simple & feminine but very cute! They were just my style too! I wanted to see what the website was that you ordered them from! Plz Plz point me in the direction of this video! I'd very much appreciate it!! Thanks in advance!
Your videos are so good Abbey! Could you possibly do a video on the Auto-Immune Protocol? There is an influencer/content creator currently going big on instagram on it and I'd find it interesting to get your take on the protocol!
Which influencer?
@@AbbeysKitchen theendospectrum / Sophie Richards
Ooh yes please 🙏🏻 I would be super interested in this!!
So many takeaways!
Can you make a video one day about how to eat healthy as a picky eater? I struggle with most foods because I have pretty bad sensory issues... The texture of most foods is the reason I don't eat them. I can't eat anything mashed or as puree, I only eat a few veggies and of those I either only eat them raw OR cooked, I eat like... three types of fruit.... I don't like so many foods that it's actually insane I haven't developed any severe health issues yet. And every time I google "how to eat healthy as a picky eater" it only shows me results for parents who want to raise someone who is not a picky eater.... So any help would be appreciated honestly. I'm kinda losing my mind because I realized how unhealthy it is for me to always eat literally the same things, and I'm tired of keeping my calorie intake up with chips and chocolate because I just can't eat enough non processed food.
Even though you are an adult can you try some of the strategies for parents of picky eaters? I’m thinking of food chaining in particular
A dietician will often apply the same strategies to picky adults that they use for picky kids. Don't be put off by the advice just because it's usually intended for kids. You can apply it to yourself. If you have insurance and it will cover seeing a dietician, I highly recommend doing so. They can help you come up with a plan of action that's unique to your needs.
What about “sneaking in” grated veggies in things like tomato sauce if you eat that? However, your struggle sounds like it might be a good idea to find a dietician that can help you.
You're fabulous Abbey! You create so much positivity!
Thank you so much!!
Something I love to do with my eggs is to use to full eggs and then add in about 2 or 3 egg whites. Extra protein and still a super great taste
Not on topic...but I love your top it suits you so well the colors and style.
Thanks!!
"There's nothing worse than not having enough sweets." ❤
I come from an Irish Catholic background, where I have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. The one thing that I learned from my German/Irish grandmother was to have enough dessert for leftovers. No one wants to watch a brawl to break out between (adult) siblings, with their Irish whiskey and chocolate fudge cake in hand, because their wasn't enough cake. 🍀🍰☕️
I love adding cottage cheese with my mayo to my egg or tuna salad. I love to add in more protein where I can 💪🏼 lol
I live in Toronto and I'd like to know the brands you buy. Alot of your frozen veg looks like PC Loblaws....but I'm not sure. What jared tomato sauce for example? Your caesar dressing looked liked Renee's? Other salad dressings? I'm curious about your nutritional yeast, pasta, cheeses, (what feta are you using?) etc. I do think their is a difderence between brands.
Hello! Could you do a video on the nut milks? I've seen a lot about it and just wondering what your take is.
Also what about healthy salad dressing alternatives? I'm a ranch dressing lover (which I think has really hindered weight loss for me) but all of the other dressings at the store I find tend to have the same calorie count/fat content (and a lot of them don't taste good).
Put powdered ranch seasoning into yoghurt/ greek yoghurt, bumps the protein content and less calories than mayo
could u post links to the papers u cite as well next time
I love the cake tip, I usually just give the rest to friends but this is perfect! I freeze other things I bake like cookies and scones, but I never thought to do it with cake too. Also, please tell me why you can scoop the yogurt but not the mayo??🤣
I love these tips! I will say with the candy one though, if your like me and candy wrappers make you feel guilty (which in turn may make you want to eat more) I get the same benefit of mindful eating by buying the full size chocolate bars that have squares. This allows me to have a conscious reminder of how much I've eaten, without feeling bad because "ugg, so many wrappers". Which you shouldn't feel bad about, but I certainly do sometimes. And this helps me. I don't know how to apply this to other candy, lol but I hope that helps somebody.
Making a veggie tray TONIGHT! Lol great tips.
I love the blouse. It’s a 10/10.
You could get the squeezy bottles of mayonnaise. That way you can have it without any risk of touching it at all.
TOTALLY can relate to touching Mayo 😵💫🤢 ! I don’t mind it in my tuna or egg salad but I can not for the life of me touch it or scoop it out of the jar. * hummus in replace of Mayo in tuna salad is delicious 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have been using yogurt in my tuna instead of mayonnaise for years.
Can you do a video about proteine requirements for obese people, and how to add that insane amount in your diet without overeating or killing five animals?
I love adding cottage cheese in place of mayo 💯
I love Helmann’s Mayo ❤😂
I like mayo and mustard in tuna salad. Also, boiled eggs , dill pickle relish and diced apples. I'm telling you the apples are a game changer. Garnish with smoked paprika. Its delish! Oh, I forgot lemon juice and salt and pepper!
I feel so redeemed lol my family has been making tuna salad with mayo, mustard, a good sharp cheese, and green apples for ages now and I always get confused stares when I get to the apples part of the recipe 😂 but it's SO GOOD. When I make it for myself I'll have a few big crackers and slice up the rest of the apple that's left and use that as a vehicle for the tuna ✨ so crunchy, so good.
that sounds delicious!!
Does it matter the type of apples? This sounds delicious!
Throw some finely chopped nuts in there too. It’s delish!
I love to use Greek yogurt for tuna salad or chicken salad
I'm happy to report that I already do some of these, like the raw veggie plate while cooking dinner and the using less mayo in my tuna. It's also great with a small amount of dried cranberries. :-))
as someone who went through BED, weight loss and low fat swaps have been great.
My favorite swap: I like to bake smaller potatoes because I think Russet potatoes aren't big enough for two or three full servings but are always too big for one and smaller potatoes usually have a better texture. (I sometimes also bake half a sweet potato, just put a little oil on it and put it cut side-down on a parchment-covered baking sheet.)
Yukon gold potatoes are my favorite for baking whole: 350 F for 80ish minutes for 4-7 oz potatoes, just wash, dry, and poke holes first. They're really soft and creamy when baked slowly like this, so I can add less butter and get the same effect. The skins are thinner than those on Russet potatoes and almost disappear into the potato when cut up, so I actually like potato skins this way.
A small baked potato, half a can of chili beans, and some leftover rotisserie chicken all poured hot over spinach with Japanese BBQ sauce drizzled over the top was my lunch today.
My partner and I definitely play off of each others "follow the leader mentality" and play into each others worse impulses haha
I am a pizza lover but I can't eat it anymore! Too much sodium. Please do a video on low sodium and low carb because my doctor recommended that I do this. I need to take off weight and avoid retaining fluid. Thanks
Do you have recommendations for how to eat slower. I just really have a problem with having patience with eating/drinking (or just in general 😅). The amount of times I’ve burned my mouth because I was too impatient is concerning. I’m pretty sure I burned like half of my taste buds at this point 😂
✨❤️Great tips- I took notes…Thanks‼️ I would love to see someone using these in a wieiad video….who would have an issue with any of them‼️⁉️✨Love the Veggie Starter, which is one of the Glucose Goddess’ 5 hacks😊❤️ I found a recipe that omitted mayo, and used spoon of Greek yogurt and spoon of hummus plus some Dijon…this is now our favorite, and you can use guacamole or mashed avocado in place of hummus for a change too✅
I love the hack about the thin, frozen slices of cake!
17:23 that's the saddest piece of cake I've ever seen.
each to their own! sometimes I have a bigger piece, sometimes a bite is just what I want
Why would you come here to just be a negative nancy??? Maybe it is to YOU, but clearly thats what works for HER. and food shaming? Tsk tsk
@@karlamarx5954 it's because her audience is mainly people with eating disorders and she claims to be "recovered" yet does this
That's one thin slice of cake.
That's what I also thought at first, but it is three layers and you were to add the three into one it's a regular size slice of a single layer cake, plus icing, which I think is reasonable.
...though I could absolutely eat more than that 😅
Looks fine to me. But if you want more cake than that, no one is stopping you.
Looks about right for me. I might top it with some vanilla Greek or skyr yogurt (Siggis is really good) and some chopped dry roasted almonds.
@Katepwne nooooo
I’m a big fan of using half the amount of yolks. Every morning it’s 4 eggs/2 yolks.
Great tips!
Great idea! But what happens to the leftover yolks?
@@Eskapismus I just toss them. Maybe a more skilled person in the kitchen could use them soon after for making something. Inside to be grossed out as a kid and even as an adult by them, but now I love the 2/4 mix.
I was vegetarian for about 6 months and didn't lose enough weight fast enough. One day, I switched to keto. I didn't feel very good for a while. Then my hair fell out.
I definitely prefer freezing individual servings of cake. Much easier and I will probably lose more fat if I stress less about what I'm eating and just enjoy my life.
Thanks for the tips!
Just envisioned my husband and I trying to eat a candle lit dinner with soft music with our six children...complete chaos 😅
Mon-TERRY jack. Love.
Could really use those tricks. Currently trying to lose 20 lbs.
I was vegan for 7 yrs, and I was the skinniest I've ever been...Ozempic? What's that😅 I'm half vegetarian now, like you said, and that's working better for me. ❤❤❤
Love the lack of mayo. I have always made my chicken salad with veggies and greek yogurt. Tastes great still.
So, a guy on youtube here doing something very different from what you're doing, called Exercise4cheatmeals came up with an idea that worked pretty well for me. Not sure if he's the true origin but at least he's where I got it from.
For something like a pizza where you want that volume of cheese, instead of using entirely full fat cheese, you can do like, half of it low fat, use that as the base layer, and then get the full fat cheese for the other half of the serving and use that as a top layer allowing it to cook through the fat free stuff.
That way you don't have to give up the flavor, at least not completely, and you still have that cheesy volume you're looking for. I tried it on a home made pizza and trust me, I am VERY PICKY about "diet food" tastes. And it did work for me.
