Healthy Eating Hacks That Changed My Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Today I'm sharing the simple healthy eating habits that I use every day. These are the eating habits I use to stay healthy. I don't prescribe to a diet to be healthy or lose weight because I think it's restrictive and isn't something that is easy to stick to. I'm OK eating fats, sugars, and calories, but it's just about doing it in a healthier way. So, these healthy eating habits are something you can easily adopt in your everyday eating.
IMPORTANT: I want to note this isn't all about weight loss. I'm not saying I was overweight before at all. But, I wasn't eating healthy or nourishing my body. I ate unhealthy portions and unhealthy foods. While adopting these healthy eating habits helped me lose weight, it worked because I am eating GOOD foods, finding healthy alternatives, and eating the right sized portions.

Love the way you just started giving the tips immediately and no wasting time , that's the way to gain audience well done lovely lady , great advise keep up the good work ! 👍🏻
Yessss!!! I agree!
You got that right!
Yessss!!!!
I agree! Thank you for not doing a big pretentious, self-aggrandizing preamble. We just want info, not a Hollywood production with a wanna-be-Diva!! Great job! Thanks for not wasting our time!

Another important thing to remember is the hunger feeling applies to being thirsty also. If you're feeling hungry your body could be telling you that you're actually thirsty and not really wanting food.
One of my tricks is tiny bites. I take a small bite or eat things like popcorn one piece at a time. If I chew up a tiny bite, it fills my mouth with as much flavor as a big bite, but tiny bites make treats last longer and gives your stomach time to recognize that it's no longer empty, so the "stop eating" message gets to your brain before you've eaten too much. Smaller bites slow me down, so a bag of popcorn lasts an hour instead of 10 minutes, then I have the indulgence need satiated, because I just sat and snacked for a hour!
This is why I've switched to trying to eat with mainly chopsticks at home! Not only is it forcing tiny bites, but I'm not great with them so it definitely slows me down lol.
Popcorn with chopstick? Challenge accepted!!!
In each meal, I try to allow myself one big bite as a treat, then tiny bites after that.
People make fun of me for this. But it works wonders.
@@shanmayy Soup with chopsticks? 😆
As far as the Whole Foods part, I think about how whatever doesn’t have a commercial, it’s generally good for you.
haha! that's perfect!
Julie Nolan
Great tip!!
I'm going to remember that!
Pink Lady apples had a commercial where I live! Oh nooo, those where my favourite.. (jk ;)
Claudia 😂
Good
Point. Also most supermarket food sales are primarily for processed foods.
One of my secret weapons is hummus. Eating raw broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots is painful but add hummus and I'm all over it!
Also baked wedges of sweet potato. If you focus on healthy food that is ALSO filling (plenty of fiber, fats), it makes it easier.
I started eating primarily whole foods after my first baby was born. Now 10 years and 3 babies later, I weigh 20 pounds less than I did before motherhood. As you said, weight is not the best measure of health. But I feel better and know that I'm healthier than I was before.
Another tip is to expand your palate. Try different spices. Cardamom in coffee adds a sweetness and reduces the need for sugar. Onion powder, paprika, and thyme on potatoes eliminates the need for ketchup or sour cream. And don't be afraid to give healthy, varied foods to your kids. My kids eat kale chips, curry, sushi, jambalaya... almost anything! They've always just eaten what we eat, so it's not weird to them.
Great tips! And I totally agree it's not about weight but about being healthy :)
Great ideas!
Great, my 3 and 5 year old will eat cucamber with tomto and any other vegetable.
Awesome suggestions! I used nearly every one of these to lose the 60 pounds I put on in college. The most important thing I did - other than going to the gym - was to remember that I didn't need to binge on or even eat junk food right now because it would still be there tomorrow and next week and next year... The world wasn't suddenly going to run out of chocolate!
"remember that I didn't need to binge on or even eat junk food right now because it would still be there tomorrow and next week and next year... The world wasn't suddenly going to run out of chocolate!" I needed this reminder lol
I changed my eating habit over the course of 2020. That was my New Year's resolution, not a goal weight. As of Nov. 28 I have lost 56 pounds and gone down 5 sizes, but most importantly, I have established good eating habits.
Great job! Wow, that's AMAZING!
Great tips. I lost 40lbs by just watching my portions and eating whole foods first. If I wanted chips (and I agree - I will totally eat the whole bag of sour cream and onion ruffles) then I would eat an apple first. If I didn’t want the apple than clearly I was eating for some reason other than hunger. If I ate the apple and still wanted the chips, I would have a handful. Removing the idea that any food was bad was also helpful. Food is food, but I prefer to choose the one that will fuel my body better than others.
Nourishing Parenting I really like the idea of removing the label of “bad” food, but simply choosing better food. I probably didn’t sum that up well, but anyway, what you said really made sense to me and I think it will help me. So much of it is mental. Thank you!
Nourishing Parenting This is really a good comment. I am going to try this tonight, when I get that hankering for some potato chips. Thank you!
Amazing job!
@Audge Podge 🙏 Bless you in recovery....It is a hard addiction - you can 100% stop using alcohol or drugs. Food? You can’t. Keep up the healthy eating!👍😍🥦
Such a great idea. Totally simple way to decide if you are eating for hunger vs eating for any other reason. I think a pear works too.....for those of us who hate getting apple rind stuck in our teeth.
Healty habits are way better and easier than a diet
I switched from candy bars to dates. Dates have quite a bit of sugar but also lots of nutrition. Keeping hand held 5 lb weights at my desk has increased my muscle tone. I use them while watching youtube or when I'm in zoom meetings (with the camera off!). Thanks Kallie for all your tips!
I started doing the smaller plate option 6 months ago along with exercise & I have lost over 75lbs. When it comes to eating out or at home, I like to eat for 1-2mins, then rest for 5mins. Repeat until I finish eating, it takes time but you get fuller faster. These are really great tips to use in my everyday life, thank you ❤
Monifa 360 I like your 1-2 mins eat & break for 5mins, repeat till finished, tip! I'm going to try that! ✌
Monifa 360 awesome tip on the 5min wait! Thanks
never thought of that. great idea! will try
Excellent idea! I’m a wolfer….I’m going to try the 1-2 and rest for 5. Thanks!
I use small dishes to eat (salad plates, coffee cups as ice cream and soup bowls, etc) and my boyfriend ALWAYS makes fun of me for it. But like you, I lost 30 lbs about 7 years ago and haven’t gained it back. I’m not starving either.
Omg..i wanna do it like u
I’ve been teased for using small dishes, but I have stayed a reasonable weight because of this (and usually the teasing has been fairly good-natured though sometimes a little aggravating). Another thing I do which I catch slack for is leaving a small portion some food and then getting scoffs for this, but our bodies are not waste bins, and I will finish the “two bites” I saved later when I am hungry. I used to have the “clean plate” mentality growing up, and I was overweight because of it.
Power to you doing what you sense is good for your body.
What's up with men giving their women a hard time for wanting to be healthy?! Haha I think they are just jelly our will power is so strong. XD
Before the 80’s most dinner plates were sized like a what we consider a salad plate. Visually the smaller plates tricks us into thinking that we are getting the same amount of food as before. Whereas the modern dinner plates with a regular serving makes us think we are not getting enough food.
I got rid of my everyday dishes during one of my moves about 5 years ago and picked up some salad plates I liked. Definitely helps with portion control, as does either measuring or weighing your food.
It's so strange. My husband maintains his weight, but only tends to eat one or two meals a day and they are HUGE. I eat several 3-4 a day and they are much smaller. I lost 40 lbs and have kept it off for two years. I use a lot of the tips she mentioned here, as well. I cut out liquid calories almost entirely.
Eating high fat no sugar has taken off my 30 pounds. I don’t like deprivation either. And I now have boundless energy at age 56.
Portioning is so key...so never open Pringle’s....cuz no control there...
Buy the mini can.
..which makes me wish I had the big can!
Once you pop you cant stop, they were warning us all along lol
I live pringles too ! I have abstained for years, but I have fond memories.
These are great tips. No gimmicks, no trendy diets, no weird foods, fasting or cleanses. Very common sense. Thank you!
I kinda follow the same plan, but I’ve been so off my habits these past few days. You’re such an inspiration, Kallie! I can’t wait to get back on track. ❤️
I found eating chickpeas helped, when I wanted extra snacks. They are incredibly filling and nutritious. You can have them baked aswell.
I add a cup of lettuce or raw spinach to every plate I make. It's nutritious and filling and really makes it look and feel like you are eating so much more with almost no calories. I also make sandwiches, tacos and wraps out of lettuce, cabbage, collards, chard... any sizeable green leaves that will hold fillings. Greens!
Its like a lightbulb went off for me! I feel like I could actually do this...Thank you so much😘😘😘
Yes! Smart. I've been doing almost all of these tips too and I lost 103 lbs in one year and have kept it off for 8mos so far. 👍😉💗 And yeah those chips are for real like crack LOL. 😂
Wow! Good job 👏 👏👏
That's encouraging....I need to do the same. Way to go!!!
Wow thats awesome! Be careful you stay healthy
@@rebecca5521 thanks 😊 but unfortunately I’ve gained 30 lbs back over the past 2 years.. 🤦🏼♀️😑 but it’s whatever.. between my daughter almost dying of blood loss die to severe UC and having type 1 diabetes plus while she was getting a blood transfusion in the hospital my dad died of a heart attack in his living room and Covid-19.. just idc a whole lot atm.. but I’m still doing yoga just eating more calories than I should be. 😕 I’m going to work on this and hopefully get back to eating OMAD! 🙏🏻
@@rebecca5521 I meant DUE to UC.. she’s alive! Just chronically ill..
Great tips. There are other options than small plastic bags for you to portion out your snacks in. There are small reusable containers, better for the environment and less cost in the long run🙂
These are really honest healthy eating ideas! Thank you for relevant content for all age groups. I'm 73 and your video gave me a good grounding in the basics. Also good you reinforced portion control. Thank you! See you next time! ❤️ Suzy
Great tips. I've lost 50 lbs over the past year just by eating only when I'm hungry.
I was eating 3 meals a day & most of the time, at one of those meals, I really wasn't hungry.
I started eating bfast, a snack around noon if I'm hungry & maybe a snack in afternoon if I don't eat one at noon. And a healthy homemade meal for dinner. No pre packaged meals or foods. I eat anything I want & I eat it in moderation. Buy small cups of ice cream instead of half a gal.
You have great tips.
It's really silly for me since I'm not up as early or quite as active as I once was. Not rushing around using calories.
That's what retirement does, a slower pace but still active.
Mary
That's awesome! I actually eat more often now but usually just smaller snacks. It helps prevent me from getting TOO hungry and then eating too big of a meal. I guess that should have been another one of my tricks, haha!
murphy1384 Yes!! I’ve also lost over 20 pounds back in high school by only eating when I’m hungry! I think many of us are used to hearing that we have to eat a big meal just because it’s a certain time of day and we “should” do it.... but just like deer who roam around, they only eat when they’re hungry! It really eliminates all the snacking and bored eating I was doing too!!
Jenna Hamlet it took me 69 yrs to learn that little bit of wisdom...better late than never...lol
Mary
Hahaha SO true!!!
murphy1384 ,
This is the first video about healthy eating that I've seen that i actually found motivating and reasonable! Thabk you for sharing!!
Thank you SO much! I'm so glad you think so!
Elly Dydekova I so agree. I have been trying to find motivation for losing weight, I'm currently at the highest it's ever been, and I've never been able to stick to any diet I've ever tried. Also my BP keeps increasing, and the medicine just isn't lowering it. And after rekindling our relationship after he had a heart attack, I'll be moving in with my ex-husband and it's really important that I encourage him to eat much healthier. He's only 37, I need him around for a while! It's very daunting and overwhelming, but I think these tips seem really doable. I really hope maybe after we get used to these tricks, we can step it up even more. Thank you Kallie, first time viewer turned subscriber! AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR UPCOMING BABY BOY!! What a blessing, I send you best wishes on good health and enduring happiness 👪👣🍼💙
Monk fruit is a great alternative to white sugar. Sourdough bread is easy to make at home so you know the simple ingredients that are in it. Since becoming gluten intolerant and having a diabetic husband, we’ve learned to change our diet. Proud of my husband for reversing his diabetes through diet! And we also only eat off the salad plates😉
I'm glad you're not overbearing and giving advice and you've never experienced anything. I trust you more that you lost weight, that you were messy, because then it sends a picture that it is possible for us who become it. You are a real inspiration. And yes, a hamburger without bread is not a hamburger, haha (burger is so delicious). Sorry, English is not my native language.
I LOVE videos like yours. Eating healthy and in a sociable way is still possible!
I hope this wave of eating disorders stops soon and we as a culture start eating consciously again. Thank you for being a sound voice in the croud.
Oh my goodness - watching this years later, but this is exactly what I did to lose 65 lbs. It truly is a lifestyle change and was never about a "diet". I am always satisfied and never feel deprived. I included 4-5 days of exercise too, but that was more to get my body healthy and strong. I am at my ideal body weight and I feel great.
Hello I just found this video and I am so happy that you shared it my 12-year-old darling daughter and I are working on eating healthier together and this just made the most sense and I love how you kept a straight face when you were talking about the sour cream cheddar chips because you’re absolutely correct and I’m going to try that salad plate instead of dinner plate because we’re currently looking to change the dinnerware in our kitchen
These are the most realistic tips I've come across in a hot minute, thanks for being real!
Love your tips, especially the last one about thinking what is least processed.
Without even noticing a real difference...I watched your video and found myself thinking about what you said. Just the night after watching, I drank something with No sugar, instead of soda! I had grapes 🍇 before dinner and I put less sugar in my coffee this morning! I am going to give it a real try. Thank you
Great ideas. Portion control is everything; I allow myself to eat anything I want, but only half of it. I only have one quibble with your recommendations. No one ever got fat eating salad dressing. Just make sure you have more salad than dressing. And, avoid low-fat/low-cal dressings. They tend to be really unhealthy and full of sugar. ~ Lisa
Those daily harvest smoothies look amazing! Such great tips hun❤️❤️
I really love this video. When wanting to lose weight and eat healthier it is easy to create eating disorder habits, something I did when i was really down and anxious... counting calories and micromanaging meals when you have bad mental health can be really dangerous... i realized what i was doing in time but it could have ended badly... i am trying to feel less anxious over food and these tips are really good.
So, thank you for showing a healthy view on healthy eating habits, both good for your body and mind ♡
Great and accurate tips! I did this a few year’s ago and list 25 pounds. But I see the weight creeping back in...more comfort foods (BREAD!) during this pandemic, I think. But you’ve held inspire me to get back to smart choices. And the Daily Harvest! I know your coupon is probably no longer good, but I will try them; I think they could even be a lunch substitute. Thank you, Kallie!!
I just really enjoy your energy! Your videos are ones I love to watch over again especially on a hard Mommy day.
Thank you for being unique!
Callie I watch one of your videos where you started day off getting up early drinking water then your coffee n got your son up n made him breakfast and took him to daycare. In that video you flashed one of your dinner plates and it was wow! You also mention roasted lemon broccoli which sounds yummy! Could you share a few dinner recipes so we could get and idea of how you've incorporated your tips into real everyday life? Absolutely LOVE your channel and as always can't til your next new video!❤️💕🥰
This is by far one of your best videos. I didn't even mind the advertised item, since it was done quickly and wasn't the entire focus of the video. Well done and good tips.
Thanks for sharing! I see a dietician since I have had gastric bypass surgery, and she is a big believer in just eating whole foods.
Prepping a lot of fresh veggies all at once so they’re easy to grab and go has helped me. I also snack plan as part of meal planning. That way I can have the variety in the house. There’s nothing worse at snacky moments than to have only one type of snack in the house and be craving something else.
Happy Sunday! 🌞 Thanks for the great tips. I too use a salad plate to eat my dinner & even a smaller plate for snacks. I like the cup idea too 👍. I measure all my food until I can eyeball the portion from memory. I try to buy all organic foods as well.
Portion control and eating slowly are the keys! I'm getting back on my wellness journey
I just eat everything and anything I want. Just in moderation. Nothing s off limits. Good tip is the plate size.
I will try it too 👍💚
It's hard for me because I think big bright plates are beautiful, just as an aestetic, but I try to view half the plate as the food part and the other half as the handle.
Good information.
Great tips! To quell my craving for something crunchy, I eat raw veggies - faves are sugar snap peas and red peppers. If needed, add a scoop of hummus. Can't beat it!
You're honesty and realness is awesome.
Wow these tips are great. I'm definitely going to use them. Thank you!
I am shocked by this video. I always assumed you were a naturally thin tiny person that had always been that way. Thanks for sharing. Great tips
You're "shocked" by this video? That's a pretty bold statement. You're shocked that this person is actually a human being and has organic problems like the rest of us?
@@Hollypenopepper People are weird. Never make assumptions about anyone, as a rule. Any thin person you see may have been obese, once. Nobody is born "perfect".
This is a common assumption about thin people but rarely true.
Watching this while eating a huge bowl of chocolate cereal 😂 a good and helpful video though! I will definitely try some of those tips out ☺️
I find this video sooo soothing to the ears because it's not a rigid regimen that needs to be followed for weight loss! You're so right abt the "diet" factor being so constraining! I hate it too! Thanks for sharing this! You rock! 😘❤️😘
I loved this vid, thank you. ❤ straight to the points and there wasn't a 1-2 min long intro. The points/tips also are very helpful and sooooo simple. Thanks again 😇❤
Sound advice. My husband is a Cookie Monster. I've always avoided processed stuff. No more store bought cookies for him. I bake his favourites so no preservatives & other junk. They are not only way healthier but you can buy a lot of from scratch supplies compared to a few boxes of store bought cookies.
My husband LOVES cookies too. I make a big batch of cookie dough and stick it in the freezer, that way he can make 1-2 cookies at night and neither of us are making homemade dough every week OR buying the processed stuff :)
Cookies ....small jar of peanut butter, 1 egg, 3/4 -1 cup sugar. Mix egg and sugar well, mix into the peanut butter....stir just past when you think it's mixed. Form into balls....mash with fork into classic cross hatch pattern. Bake at 375 for about 8 to 10 mins.

Love the video thank you!! Also thanks for just diving into your topic and not begging to subscribe and hit the notification bell. 😘
Good tips for sure.ost of them I've already used and they've definitely worked, some are new and I'll give em a try. Thanks for being real, and I love the point about balance. I think that it true health
Congrats !! I know What changing to a healthy lifestyle can achieve ! I wish I could have found a easy hack to my 180 LB weight loss , cutting back like you did never worked FOR ME. I had to restrict 100% and due to it I now have several eating anxietys which today Im struggling to manage. Thank you for sharing!!
I do the same thing with processed food. I try to eat the most “whole” thing, and as someone who knows what they’re taking about, it’s actually a great tip. It’s much better for you to eat whole things, than eating something that claims to be healthy but has been processed the heck out off
Sour cream and onion potato chips ARE like crack, you nailed it! I’m getting myself back to healthy eating again, and your tips are great. I also use the My Fitness Pal app and track my food. It seems like it would be time consuming, but it’s not, and it really keeps me on track. Great video, thank you!
Thank God I found this video so late but found what I needed!! ❤️ very helpful thank you so much!!
I HAVE THOSE SMALL BAGS AND MY HUSBAND LAUGHS AT THEM TOO! 😀 I actually bought them by mistake but I love them now haha
With the salad plate vs. dinner plate discussion, the same goes for meal prep containers. I feel like when I use a proper sized tupperware container to meal prep, I'm more likely to give myself a realistic portion. If I have a bigger container, I feel the need to fill it up, thus giving myself more than I can actually eat. Waste of food, waste of money, and waste of extra meals I could be making
I have noticed this video in my feed for awhile. I had never clicked on it because I thought that the before picture looked much healthier than the after pic. Maybe others are feeling the same as I was? Just feedback for raising your views. You’re beautiful. Glad I finally did watch. Thank you for sharing some really sound advice.
Great video 😀 very helpful tips there especially about the whole foods ! Thanks xx
Every Single Thing about this video was simple and helpful, thank you!
Ruffles Sour Cream & Cheddar chips are absolutely crack!
Great video!! I love these tips because they're not a short term fix and they're very reasonable for the average person. The idea of completely cutting out sweets/junk food isn't realistic for me, and I like how you strive for every day healthy eating but you won't deprive yourself if you really crave something sweet. The fact that you don't have to completely overhaul your diet makes this feel manageable and I feel like this approach would really work for me. Gonna give it a go!!
So simple and helpful! Thank you!
There are some pretty awesome silicone baggies you can get that arent disposable. They make littlr snack size ones too. Just if you'd like to cut down on your plastic consumption (yay for saving the environment!)
Do you know where I can find those?!
Target
I use tiny glass or pba free bowls with lids. I snack out of them at home and an work. It really does help limit how much you eat. Unless it's chips. They are my weakness. I can refill that tiny a bowl a lot of times!
Am I the only one who washes the plastic ones and only discard them when they're torn? I won't buy anything new until the plastic ones are used up.
@@ktee6370 I do that too but they usually rip after a couple of uses. Sometimes the zipper seal ones last longer but the silicone ones are just 100000x more durable (and expensive lol)
This was good! I was laughing so hard @ your crack comment! You're so cute, Kallie! #ButFirstCoffee
Thanks; just ordered from Daily Harvest. Never had heard of it before!
ok LITERLLY LOVE i've been putting off trying to work on this but didnt know where to start cause i was afraid the tips would be crap. But these seem VERY GOOD thanks for helping me
Love the plate size suggestion. Over the last 50ish years, our dinner plates have become much bigger and I think you're absolutely right. Bigger plate = bigger portion. I don't diet either. I have in laws that do and they don't get why I don't have to. Next time someone mentions it, I'm going to show them this video. A lot of these things I already do, but couldn't properly articulate other than saying that I eat everything in moderation. I love the snack before you go out thing too! I do that, except before sushi because, give me all the sushi! Lol.
Hahah omg yes to the sushi. 🤤🤤
Can I just I love you? 3 seconds in and I'm love. Loads of my friends and family all diet and ask how my diet is going when I say no to a soda, a cookie or something of the like. My answer is always "I don't know. I don't really do diets since I never stick to them."
One of the best videos I have seen, very helpful. Thank you
Hello, I only just came across your channel, really found it interesting and very helpful , I have subscribed can't wait to see more of your videos x
I have been doing the same thing with fruit. I have a sweet tooth and if I keep fresh fruit in my refrigerator, I am more apt to eat that than something like ice cream. I have also switch to water. I will have coffee in the morning and then nothing but water the rest of the day. Great tips.
The Gold Project I learned about chocolate oatmeal yesterday. Just cook up the old-fashioned oats then add a heaping teaspoon of 100% dark cocoa. I added some walnuts, cashews, honey, and some strawberries and raspberries and a pinch of salt. I also added some cinnamon and nutmeg but the chocolate was too strong to taste it. Lol. It....was interesting. I think using a nut butter instead of whole nuts would have worked better. I also have a tiny sweet tooth so I was sick of chocolate halfway through. Lol. But if someone has a really strong chocolate craving, this would be a very healthy way to satisfy that. :)
If you changing your eating habits to be more healthy, get used to that first and then add exercise. It will be a lot easier to stick to healthy habits instead of trying to do it all at once. Also, when you’re ready to add exercise, only watching your guilty pleasure shows when simply walking on the treadmill or using elliptical can help with motivation lol. I’m down 15lbs in 6 months, it’s about changing how you live and not giving up💜
Love your simple tips ! Your channel is the best and you do very relatable content ❤
Love this video! Thanks for sharing!
Please make a video on fast, healthy-breakfast hacks! Thank you 😊
"because that's what happens with those chips"
so true 😂
great tips!! love the salad plate idea!
Love these tips so much! Super simple swaps!
These tips were great! I’ve been using a salad plate for my dinner for years! And I also only have one serving spoon of rice or whatever carbs I’ve made and pile my plate up with salad instead.
Girl u had me laughing about the crack snack lol because thats exactly what its is sometimes
What works for me and my family: cooking simple but healthy meals at home 6 days a week, organic fruits, veggies, and white meats, drinking lots of water instead of soda, fat free milk or almond milk, fruit and veggie smoothies, portion control, eating heavy meals during the day and something light for dinner. I do find that not eating after 6:30 pm, perhaps fruit and water, is very helpful! We love to exercise so that allows us to have pizza and snacks on the weekend! Great information! Thank you!
Great, realistic, do-able tips! Thank you! I wish that daily harvest existed in France though (where I'm currently living), it looks amazing!
I caught myself drinking like 5 cans of soda a day and I knew that I needed to substitute the carbonation because that’s my favorite part of soda. So now I keep seltzer around instead and it has worked great. Satisfies the carbonation and “cool summer drink” craving but I know that I’m not completely harming my body with extreme amounts of sugar and God knows what else. Seltzer takes some getting used to, but now I love it. Also the eating before dining out tip is genius! Plus it will stretch your money a bit because you can eat half your meal and save half for lunch the next day!
That's awesome that you found such a great alternative to your soda! I love seltzer!
Do you ever flavor your seltzer? With what? On that note, ever tried Zevia? It’s my soda substitute.
JP M I haven’t tried Zevia but i’ll def look into it! I usually just drink my seltzer as is but it’s flavored. Like polar’s seltzerade or la croix. But sometimes I’ll mix it with juice or add some kind of fresh squeezed fruit. So that’s probably good an option for someone who is trying to get used to seltzer.
Is seltzer the same as club soda?
Quiff Osaurusrex I believe so. I think it’s just a regional difference in name. It’s just carbonated water.
Going to school Monday through Friday helps so much with eating only when I’m hungry. I eat breakfast and then pack a healthy lunch with some almonds, protein bars, fresh fruit, and maybe yogurt. It actually fills me and never makes me feel sick or gross. I also carry around water every where I go and I’ve found I’m much more hydrated and feel less hungry. I used to feel so hungry all of the time when really I was just dehydrated. Great tips. :)
you shouldn’t live off protein bars tho. try to pack cooked food instead of packaged stuff.
This was great! Thank u for sharing! By the way, your hair looks so shiny and healthy
Very well done video. Concise and clear......... thank you!
I poo-pooed intermittent fasting at first, started doing it because a colleague mentioned her doctor recommending it for her. Her current health issues are similar to what is genetically prevalent in my family, so I just started doing it. Dropped about 20 lbs without doing more than limiting my eating window. Not only is there not enough hours to pack in as much food, but eventually you gravitate toward better things. If in a rush for dinner, I'll toss eggs and broccoli together instead of, say, pasta with broccoli or (my weakness) Rice a Roni.
I think it's great if you can afford $8 for a smoothie. Perhaps if you're already eating out regularly or do the daily Starbucks thing, no big deal. But for someone like me who cooks 90% of the time, I would never spend that much. Come to my house and I'll make you a smoothie for $2 and you'll leave richer and you'll have great conversation as well:). Lol
That's what I'm saying!!! Lol
It is pricey but if I were to buy all of those ingredients I probably would be losing money because I tend to not be able to consume it all before it spoils. That’s one way to look at the price aspect.
I'm not alone in that thought! I thought dang I can spend that much money and stock my pantry and make a mess load at home. A lot more than 3 for $25 after her code lol
Bazinga!
Tend to agree. Portion out your smoothie ingredients into ziploc bags, stick them in the freezer, and then pull them out when you need them and blend it up with milk of choice. But I do agree that having pre-made healthy stuff helps. I just choose Larabars.
All great & practical tips, TYFS!
These tips are really good. Thank you!!!
I've been trying to change my outlook on food and eating healthier. I've also been eating at a calorie deficit. One thing I realised I'd that by eating healthy and whole foods, I can still eat a tone of food and actually feel full while still staying under a calorie limit. For instance, a pan seared chicken thigh and a cup of green beans with an apple is around 350 calories, which is not only perfect for a lunch, but I feel full for hours after. Eating a calorie deficit to for weight loss does not have to be unhealthy or unpleasant at all.
Just something from my experience! Hope it helps someone!
Julz K Yep! I'm trying to do a mostly whole food diet. One thing that helps is to get a REALLY good non-stick skillet. I have a ceramic one and I don't need to use any oil. If you want to saute vegetables then just add a bit of water. That alone will save you a bunch of calories.
suicune2001 Oh totally! I use a cast iron skillet. It's a little more high maintenance, but so worth it!
"Because they're like delicious and they're like crack" Hahaha! Thanks for making me laugh, subscribed!
Awesome tips - thank you! These are realistic for anyone to do.
Your videos have really inspired me! Do you have a work out video or something of the short?
I'm glad this works for you and some people... No, I'm in *AWE* that you can do this! I've never been able to do portion control or just do "moderation." After years of restarts, I finally found an alternative plan that makes me feel good and that I can live with! How can you not just eat a whole bag of chips? Impressive.
Agreed... it takes a lot of self-control to eat off the salad plate without going back for 2nds, or to portion out your snacks without then eating three portions. This is where I fail.

Deternination to reach the goal
I think you've got to make tiny changes at a time. Of course the first week you're going to refill your plate, just the time your stomach gets used to it.
Try also to take your time when you eat, if possible. When you eat slowly, you tend to eat less and/or feel filled quicker because your brain has the time to acknowledge the fact that you're eating.
The way I eat now, I'm not hungry all of the time or think about food constantly anymore, so most of that self-control struggle is gone. If I'm tempted to go back to "the dark side" of food choices (chips!), I remind myself WHY I WANT to stay on my plan (bc I feel like crap & gain weight if I dont), plus I LOVE the foods I do eat when I finally remember to eat. Having a family pretty much does that, so no worries there. I mostly eat one or two intentional meals a day now and LOVE it. But that's not for everyone. I guess you could say that's a form of portion control BUT the food choices during that meal or 2 make a huge difference. I'm not hungry anymore.
