I lost 42 pounds on 1300 calories a day eating healthy foods and once i hit my goal I slowly added a hundred calories a week until my weight leveled out. My daily maintenance is 1800 calories per day. I’ve maintained my goal weight for 10 years! Yes some days I’m a bit over and some a bit under and it works for my body.
That’s awesome for you! It’d be helpful if you said your activity level, height age and weight and how long it took you . I am 5’8, 43yrs, walk everyday and lift weights a couple times a week. I’ve lost weight at 2,200+ calories a day, and my maintenance is around 2,400 a day. 1,300 would be crazy low for me. Depends on muscle mass, fiber/protein/, activity, and your stats. Goes to show so many people are different and why for someone who doesn’t have the knowledge base to not follow some random calorie restriction.
@@howsweetthesound4992she gives you a hint when she tells you maintenance calories are 1800.
Yup coming from someone who successfully lost weight with 1300 calories - people need to stop policing people’s calorie levels ❤1300 can be plenty and help someone achieve their goals so
@@selen5487I think it can and it's true that it's very individual. However, the available evidence on long-term maintenance of weight loss suggests that in general, the most sustainable weight loss is achieved through no more than a 100-150 calorie deficit. Why? Because this supports fat loss but limits muscle loss, which will happen if your deficit is too big. If it worked for you I'm certainly glad, but the data shows that for most people, 1300 kcals is too big a deficit and therefore likely to lead to less sustainable weight loss.
I wear a Fitbit so I know how many calories I burn a day. It helps to know how much I need to maintain or lose weight. Most days I average about the same, but some days when I’m more active I burn more calories so the Fitbit really helps that way on my more active days I’m not too low with my calories. Some of the apps guess based on your activity levels how many calories you need, but the apps I used always guessed too low…so I find wearing a Fitbit is the most accurate in knowing how many calories you’re actually burning a day.
The fact that this diet is not even close to being one of the most restrictive diets on social media says a...lot.
there's a lot of crazy stuff out there😬
What is restrictive here?? No fast food? How terrible… the fact that eating healthy is associated w restriction is the problem in the western regions. Yes some people might have Ed’s and this would be restrictive. But ED or not because one thing that doesn’t care about your ED is cholesterol, inflammation markers and nutrient deficiency’s!
So sad. All restriction does is make you miserable, cause a chronically lowered metabolism, kills brain cells and libido and gives autoimmune diseases - if you're lucky enough to survive.
@@missyjordan909I believe (hope) this is about using these three meals for a meal plan that only consists of these three meals. Because yes, limiting yourself to only three meals would be very restrictive.
@@missyjordan909exactly 👏
With regards to measuring the almond milk I find that as soon as you start posting recipes online people want to know exactly how much for the recipe, even if it doesn’t really matter. I’d assume she’s measuring for the purposes of the video and not because she’s worried about the calories in almond milk.
As someone with absolutely no formal training in nutrition, I found Liezl's meal plan extremely useful. It was very helpful to have a structured visual to understand exactly how to compose a day of meals in order to achieve weight loss.
Liezl's channel is great. She helped me not only to lose weight, but also inspired me to cook more. I love her blueberries baked oat (or pie- if you know, you know...) and as vegetarian, I find it easy to costume her recipes for my needs.
that recipe sounds delish
I have her black bean and tahini wrap several times a week. 🤤
@@lisajackson9431 I've been wanting to try it, it looks so delish but don't want to waste money on tahini and hate it. Does tahini have a peanut butter-like taste?
@@nbucwa6621tahini does not taste like peanut butter. It’s a unique flavor and hard to describe, but I think it’s a bit bitter.
Her recipes are so good! I'm meal planning for my adhd and her overnight oats recipes are the only ones I've ever liked
I know it's not listed in her video, but if you want higher amounts of calories for the meals (IE more protein, more fibers) she has different calorie amounts for the same meals on her website. :-)
YES!!! And she usually mentions it in her videos as well. She usually shares different combo options for 1200, 1400 and I believe 1600 or 1800. Love her and her videos
Not all of her meal plans are 1200 calories. She has several. 1200, 1400 and 1800. Her recipes rock and the food is so good! Some people like 1200 calories a day. I like between 1400 and 1600 myself. Her recipes are full of nutrients and very filling. ❤
Abbie I wish you would acknowledge the fact that for petite women even highly active ones may need this caloric amount for weight loss. Additionally the higher body fat percentage you have the safer you are eating a lower threshold daily of calories because you have adipose tissue to pull nutrients from. You can infact go below a BMR. If you're eating whole natural foods 1200 cals is alot of food especially aiming for 120 g of protein and 25 to 30 g of fiber a day. Hardly malnourished with that ratio.
You have basically described my diet. I’m pretty darn short and my BMR is less than 1400. I started a medication that causes weight gain so to get back down to my previous weight and feel healthy again, I’m eating 1200 calories. I don’t feel deprived and make sure to include all the things you spoke about. There are a lot of videos on here saying “1200 is not enough!” but it is for me. I’d actually struggle to eat much more than that.
She still too far in the grips of her own ED to acknowledge these nuances. Basically anything she finds triggering personally she ignores or overlooks or misrepresents even if it might be ok in certain contexts or for certain people. She isn’t as recovered as she pretends to be.
Totally agree! She didn't even show the three calorie combos to show the variety of ways to increase the calories so it works for a wider range of people. And agreed, I'm 4'11", 1250 is my target for healthy weight loss. and I'm not restricting myself if I go over here and there.
@@Updog89 THIS!
Most women are considered petite height and most aren’t super active so yeah just seems odd when someone provides 1200 cal but nutritionous diet plan to help people out it is criticized . Some people really do need to be inspired and have that deficit because if they don’t they might never be able to achieve their weight goals in 50 years ….. which could be even more triggering
Liezl has many different food plans with lots of variety! Love her channel!
I have been following her channel a bit and I do not find her that restrictive. Each main meal is 400 kcal+ she does 1-2 snacks of 200 kcal. You can easily adapt the plan to your caloric needs or eat more at the meals if you need it
I am so happy that the review format seems to be back, something about the "tries to eat like..." videos wasn't really my jam❤
Cuz she never ate like them. She’d just do her own thing; sometimes doubling the ingredient list and adding a bunch of stuff.
Same! I prefer this than « eat like » but I prefered the original format where a couple days of eating were discussed
One thing I REALLY appreciate and respect about your videos, Abby, is that your sponsored adds are OBVIOUS, distinct, and not snuck into your video so we know that the content of the video is honest. Thank you!
That's true, except now she is peddling her expensive protein powder and it's hard to trust everything she says. For example, she said she is going to send Leizl her protein powder to see if she likes it. Is that why she said mostly positive things about her video? Because she wants Liezl to do the same for her product?
@@brendagotababy8284I’m sorry, that’s ridiculous.
@@kemikunle9360what's ridiculous?
@@kemikunle9360 It's not ridiculous, considering Abbey straight up lies about the science behind her protein powder. It's cherry picked data that doesn't actually support her product's claims. She's trash, like any other influencer she bashes.
Brazilian Girl here again 🙋🏻♀️: for the BEST rice 🍚 of your life: soak for an hour and a half with a little vinegar, strain for 20 minutes, olive oil onions garlic (our unofficial holy trinity!) in a pot for a couple of minutes, add rice and hot water to barely cover it, reduce to low with pan half covered. DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! Just monitor it (around 30 minutes or until you get a spoon and can see bottom of pot), close the lid and turn off stove to let it steam for 5 minutes. Done ✅🇧🇷 9:11
It may sound like a whole production but we make it several several servings.
Oooh need to try this!!
i love my rice cooker
Abbey, you’re going to love it! And I’m the beans 🫘 eating Portuguese and Brazilian professional ballerina 🩰. I’ll always eat my beans and my cheese… except that I save my beans for my post performance treat! Gas and tutus don’t go together. Who says ballerinas don’t eat?
I was excited for this one. I have followed Liezl since she first began her channel and appreciate how she has evolved throughout all her moves, her losses, and growing her following. At least she is one of the few girls reviewed here who actually spends a lot of time in her kitchen, reading and researching and reviewing to put together real food recipes to help inspire others to cook and eat at home. With the younger generation and all the delivery services and conveniences nowadays I feel like grocery shopping, cooking at home and meal planning is becoming less and less. I applaud Liezl for her channel, her own weight loss, her hard work and her influence to her generation.
Love love love you Abbey, long time follower, bought your protein powder and love love love it!
also love liezl's channel been following for a long time too and nice that abby made a vidoe on her
I’m so glad you reviewed Liezl. I’ve been asking you to. Thank you. I love her meals.
I love that she shows herself making a meal and sharing it for the next days, it is something I do all the time and it was vital to my weight loss
Watching this I feel like my full-fat Greek yogurt and chia seeds breakfast is killing it! Honestly that’s the thing that kick started my weight loss, which in turn kick started my fitness journey. I don’t get hungry at all until lunchtime, so I don’t snack.
sounds like a great HCC
Mind sharing your recipe! I struggle with non egg protein rich breakfasts.
I really like her channel and have enjoyed some of her recipes! Overall, I think she does a great job 👏
I agree………..
I really like her channel and for the many years I’ve watched, it’s always visually beautiful and the recipes are not fussy…very easy and practical. Thank you for your professional insight @Abbey!
Love Liezl’s channel! She really helped me eat in a healthier way, never fell restricted and super yummy recipes!
Great video and so excited to see the OG of What I eat in a day videos Liezyl!
Love these style of videos. I’ve learned so much about how to make meals healthier and more satisfying by watching. Really enjoy the best bang for your caloric buck tips!
YESSS I’ve been waiting for this!!!!
Hey Abbey! I LOVE your videos! I wanted to request an ED recovery video on behalf of those of us struggling with poverty or food insecurity: what are some tips and tricks on navigating food insecurity in eating disorder recovery? Some of us have a lot of safe foods that are really expensive, so how can we turn food stamp/lower quality foods into meals that are as balanced as possible?
I love Liezels content and recipes she has helped me stop binging and eating much healthier.
I love liezl jayne’s meal prep videos. Watching her videos helped me learn portion control and how to combine lean protein healthy carbs healthy fats and veggies and fruits. Her meals are well balanced tasty and colorful and i love how she talks you through each step. I think she doesn’t get the credit she deserves
Love this video! Great content as always! ❤
A great option to spread on bread or toast instead of butter or mayonnaise (but which is easier to keep around than avocados) is olive paste! If you like olives, that is. It comes in small jars and you refrigerate it after opening. It’s very salty so you don’t need much, but it adds tons of flavour. It’s usually made of just black olives, salt, olive oil, and sometimes a bit of herbs. It’s lovely as a sandwich spread. And while it gives you that richness that you want from butter, mayo, etc., it has no saturated fat at all, only unsaturated.
As a RD myself, whenever someone mentions a meal plan, I internally flinch like someone said Voldemort’s name 😂. Loved how you explained the unsustainability of static meal plans.
hahah glad you agree
I used to do these all the time. They helped me learn how to expand my likes and dislikes
Liezl just gives ideas for meals really it’s our own responsibility to make it work for our own needs.
What an embarrassingly tone deaf comment. And from a professional, no less? I hate to break it to you but in this economy lots of people can’t afford the time and money to eat without planning carefully. For lots of people what’s unsustainable is NOT to meal plan, not everyone can just buy extra food to keep in the pantry and fridge to eat on a whim intuitively as they please.
Liezyl Jayne has been a favorite for many years now! I love her recipes and I always look her up for inspiration. That blueberry muffin pie gets made every month in my house! I don’t think LJ means for someone to repeat these meals over and over with the “the one snack that’s allowed.” She has so many videos you can mix and match what you like in a caloric range that’s appropriate for you.
I like Liezl, I follow her and have watched these videos. I have even made some of her recipes and they were delicious, however, her meal plan is too low calorie for my needs but I do like to incorporate some of her meal ideas
You can totally make them your own!
Omg finally this video!!!❤
I love liezls channel. My diet was very similar when I was trying to loose weight. It was very filling and the healthy diet change was a huge energy boost.
6:43 a big bowl of salad with lots of different ingredients and 21 tortilla chips is not enough for her lunch???
Hi Abbey I've been following Liezel's channels for a long time and love her videos. I love all the plant based options which you just don't see enough of in weight loss/nutrition videos, and they are all gluten free and dairy free which is the way I eat and drink. I've watched a lot of her videos, and she offers a variety of options in the different videos. I added several of her recipes I liked to my tracking app, so if I have it I just click on it and shows all the calories and macros in it. When you are a person really struggling to lose weight, you appreciate her meal plan with the calories. I figured out my BMR with a little machine I breathed into, and tried to figure out what calories work for weight loss for me. I do have a very slow metabolism. So the information she has does help I believe. For months those were the only recipes I ate, and then I branched off and added some other ones because she's not the only plant based blog with great recipes. I love Detoxinista recipes as well.
Oh I was nervous because I love Leizl & you. I hope this helps her gain more followers became she is so charming & creative with her meals.❤
I'm watching never having heard of Leizl and thinking these meals look super yummy, must check her out.
Liezl's channel is great. She has so many different recipes to help you find something that works in your range you need. She has a ton of variety, this is just one video of hers but she shows so many more options from her meal books.
Personally. Repetitive meals mon -Friday ease a lot of my food prep anxieties and weight anxieties. It’s something I don’t have to over think and breezy to prepare. More so, staying within those guidelines helps me with simplifying budget etc, and I freestyle on the weekends and see what I want to add in smaller proportions throughout the week and switch out. It’s a good place to start
I was so worried to see you review Liezl's content; I have been watching her videos for several years! I really like her ideas and have adapted some of her meals to my own preferences/tolerances. She is dairy and gluten free out of necessity, but I am not, so I don't worry about those things so much, but I do really like her idea of simplifying one's diet to include set portions along with a wide variety of ingredients, especially fruits and vegetables. I also like that she always offer vegan alternatives, even though I am not vegan; I feel that it's more inclusive and I sometimes choose those options when that is what I feel like eating. As always, your advice is great and I love your science based analysis. Glad to see you not completely criticize Liezl's approach. Your emphasis on the hunger crushing combo (TM) and her meal ideas have really helped me. Thanks for your work!!!
Thank you Mary❤
Why be worried.judge for yourself and stand by that. Abby is fun but don’t forget she makes a living on criticizing others. Think twice about hanging on her opinion. Your opinion is just as good 👍
@@Elle-bu6ou "Your opinion is just as good" only if that person has similar knowledge and the time to look into the latest publication on nutrition related subjects. It's always informative to listen to a professional. What one chooses to do with that info is up to them.
@achocot, I agree! I value Abbey's opinion and her research-based advice. I have a PhD and am a college professor, but I do not have any education in nutrition, which Abbey clearly has and shares with us on her channel. I respect her opinion!
I really like Liezl's channel. Her recipes are far from restrictive
I love Liezl Jayne! A lot of the meals I make especially for breakfast are because of her! Her oatmeal and smoothie inspo is top notch!
Thank you for the tip about rinsing the rice. My daughter loves white rice, but I worry a lot over the arsenic levels. I will be rinsing it off from this point forward!
Abby, I really like the feel of this video. I can tell you've made some tweaks to your brand and I think it's really good :)
An actual dietitian put me on a 900 kcal diet for a month, then renewed it for another month when I wasn't losing weight. This guy caused me to develop severe binge eating habits. Followed by years of feeling guilty about eating anything that was the least bit calorie-dense. Some years ago, it was so bad that I cried in the supermarket trying to find something (anything) that I could/wanted to eat.
love your content abbey x
Thank you for this! I was wondering could you make a video making balanced meals whilst trying to stay in a calorie deficit. I struggle with creating a balanced meal including all the macronutrients that are satiating and allow me to lose weight? Really enjoyed this video🩷
Love this...lots of great advice❤
I like Liezl's recipes. She makes cooking look easy and enjoyable.
i love liezl jayne her channel is awesome and it helps you to lose weight her point system is nice so you dont have to think about the calories too much and nothing is off limits its very balanced
Just here to say Abbey's skin is glowing 🌟 🌟 🌟
aw thank you!
Liezl taught this nearly 42 year old woman to structure a meal properly. Love her videos and yours as well 😊
What she's eating in a day is not 1200 calories if you count the snacks the drinks which would probably bump it up to at least 1800. Not saying that it should be, but the clickbait is misleading . For protein being the satiety king I don't know why it doesn't do a better job of filling me up .
Thank you for saying that. I was wracking my mind trying to understand the 1200 calorie target.
She does options for how you could adapt it to be 1200, 1400, 1600 or 1800 cals depending on the deficit you need. I love Abbey but this title is just click bait.
@abbey sharp - I've heard several people say that rinsing rice does not take out the arsenic. They say that the best way to remove the arsenic is to boil the rice, then rinse, then cook it which seems like a lot of trouble.
It takes a few seconds to change the water. Just boil it in a kettle to save time. Most healthy foods require this as well as most dry foods you boil
Thank you so much Abbey! Can you give us more recommendations for good protein sources? I don't really like tofu and I wat to eat a little less meat. Would love to hear your suggestions! :)
I have a blog post and free handout on protein www.abbeyskitchen.com/protein-intake-recommendations/
Liezl’s recipes were the main ones i used to meal prep and lose weight. I lost 14 kg and never gained them back. I find her recipes inspiring as she doesn’t leave anything out. You can eat everything in moderation and still lose weight.
As someone who struggles to eat even three meals a day, I do appreciate this meal plan because it feels like something I can do
@abbeyskitchen I think she's just teaching people who need to lose weight in order to be in a healthy BMI what she did that worked for her, so a calorie deficit, and what they could do with different ingredients a different week but similar framework.
YES simply put ( i hope she doesn’t hide comments like these)
@@selen5487 Yea sometimes I really think she is too scared of offending people to just speak the truth about the dangers of being above (or below) a healthy BMI and I think she gets carried away to one side of the spectrum because of her own recovery that she discounts the other side of the spectrum, people who are over a healthy BMI and struggle losing weight and the reasons why they struggle and what could really help them gets discounted because of her own recovery she pushes too hard to one side of the spectrum and doesn't understand the other. Like with her criticism of Kylie Jenner "locking" herself in her room with an apple and peanut butter Abbey was like if you need to lock yourself in your room you're probably hungry, no, there are people who could benefit from that who have eaten plenty for their weight during the day including hunger crushing combos but are still hungry and over a healthy BMI and need to lose weight to save their lives/their health from small things to big things, and even small health issues can lead to big ones. some people need those kinds of ideas, some people have food addictions or have genetic issues that make it hard for them to maintain a health weight, etc etc
@@selen5487 Yep she literally deleted my comment that was about the same thing, even though I was discussing people like myself who are over a healthy BMI and who need help losing weight. I guess it's bad to have a different opinion than her even though a lot of her opinions are not about black and white things. deleting comments just because she disagrees with them or is afraid of non-mean nor attacking critique is pretty awful, not much integrity there. a very biased channel
@@KR-mx4nt oh wow that sucks especially someone who’s trying to lose weight should share their opinions on what worked for them and what didn’t because when you lost the weight you know what worked and share that with everyone. And if your opinion is different from hers idk why that’s a problem! Ur so right
@@KR-mx4nt oh yeah it’s so true - people do supervised fasts if they need to lose weight and it’s important their body eats away from the fat they have accumulated over the years - I think it’s more so the mentality they need to stop demonizing weight loss and stop projecting not everyone is seeing it from a disorderly point of view people can be happy on a calorie deficit
I love your content. You’re smart, cute, and hilarious! Glad I found ya! ❤
Abbey, I want to get your opinion on dessert hummus. I tried salted caramel hummus and I was pleasantly surprised!
I have literally NEVER heard of rice making people sick. Ever. I'll need to look into that one...
There's no such thing, stop believing everything you hear on internet especially from an influencer
Stop spreading lies! Reheated rice can cause food poisoning.
@@user-fc4xg5ym1t Nope. It really does start to grow adverse bacteria. The fact that it has not yet made you sick is great...but you might want to consider sticking it in the refrigerator a bit earlier...'cause it's SCIENCE!!
@@BotDetector-44 Um...except that she is not an influencer---or not JUST an influencer---this is an educated, registered dietician who went to university to earn her degree.
@@jonap5740 She might have gotten the degree but she is not practicing anymore, hence an influencer. Now fuck off
Have none of these people heard of garlic powder? Onion/ chipotle powder? Seasoning?
Her lunch is my favorite thing during summer. I live on these big salads when it's super hot outside ❤❤❤❤
Did not know that about rice……..great video Abbey!
This was a great video!!
I just wanted to add about the arsenic in rice, you actually are supposed to pre boil the rice like it were a pasta and then rinse it. The heat opens up the rice to let out the arsenic and then rinsing it eliminates most of it. Cold water rinsing alone is great but doesn’t remove the arsenic!! If you look at multiple studies by universities they all indicate that.
Same with legumes, I can't bear to see people not pre boiling dry foods, it's common sense. Wish more people did this. I doubt at restaurants they do and that gives me the ick!
Hi ❤ Though I have PCOS, all dairy products, milk, yogurt, whey protein powder seem to suit my body completely and I have no issues with them so can I continue to keep dairy in my daily diet?
Hi Abbey, thank you so much for your videos; they have been a great help in this journey of improving my relationship with food. For one of your future videos, would you be so kind to consider talking about how a petite woman should eat? I am 5'0 and most of the people I've talked to recommend that I eat below 1600 calories a day, which is not enough for my personal needs.
What many women need is guidance on PCOS diets & easy way to follow it.
I love Liezl Jane. Her videos and meals are great.
FYI: Strydom is a south African surname and is pronounced "stray-dom" not "stride-dom".
I love Leizl as someone who is going from intuitive eating to trying to lose weight without feeling restricted. My main attraction to her recipes is that they are quick and uncomplicated. As someone with chronic health issues that affect my energy topped off with adhd, finding the energy to make a meal is hard enough let alone then getting distracted and forgetting to make it but I've found Liezl's recipes take the thinking out of it for me enough that I don't get distracted and I don't have to dig deep just to figure out what to make and then still find the physical energy to actually make it.
Her meal plans specifically are indispensable to me as, since all her recipes are similar in calorie range and she has so many different recipes, I can mix and match her meals as I like. Having tons of choice is great for most people but for me it tends to leave me stuck and either not eating at all or reaching for fast food because I'm too mentally exhausted and physically exhausted to even try any more. Despite that my spirit still wants the illusion of choice and I feel like Leizl has a wide enough variety of meal plan recipes that I feel like I have options and can change it up while still being simple and basic enough that I don't have the added pressure of worrying that I don't have the necessary ingredients/need to go shopping just to make them.
I appreciate your analysis and perspective as always Abbey. Your channel has really helped better my relationship with food.
could you do a video on how to read a nutrition label?
Liezl has a great base for recipes, adjusting for calories/protein
I keep gett her meal prep videos
I bought your protein powder and gave my email for the 10% discount, however I did not get the code for the discount. I could not find a place on the website to tell this
@abbeyskitchen what if we ate eating black rice that is high in anthocyanins. I've heard that washing black rice will remove the polyphenolics
The "air quote's" are getting out of control
im so confused some dietians said to let rice cool to room temp before refrigerating and you say put it in the fridge piping hot. i don't know what to believe..
Hi, Abbey would you do a video about how to overcoming the frustration of not seeing the results you want? I’ve been on a weight loss journey for 2 1/2 years. At the start I lost 10 lbs and have not been able to lose an extra lb since. I exercise regularly, including hiit workout, I don’t eat out. I incorporate vegetables into all my meals and also go for healthier alternatives when available. My lab numbers are excellent no metabolic or hormonal issue found. Despite doing all the “right” things weight loss have become discouragingly difficult. I’m tempted to go to a crash diet because even though it’s not healthy a least there’s movement on my scale. My goal is to simply get to a healthy weight where I don’t feel like I’m carrying a sack of potatoes around 24-7. Please help.
Do you have unflavored version of your protein?
Could you talk about eating schedule for night shift workers? Ex: 7pm-7am
You should review Nicole Collet. She’s an up and coming weight loss, diet and fitness influencer.
This is such a great day of eating :) (minus the super low cal) bet eating like that feels really good too
Could be good for someone who is petite!
@@selen5487 that’s true
As I understand this video it is only one of many optional meal plans suggested for a week. You can make this for one week and use many others from other videos for other weeks for verity. It is also ment to inspire ideas on how to make calorie counting more simple and how to plan your meals ahead- to be easy for you to stay on track without decision fatigue. I don't see this as a constricted way of thinking at all or one a plan for all weeks forever. So I don't think that criticism is relevant for everyone familiar with her channel.
lol she looks like a great size for her frame - funny this is criticized because whatever she does or says it looks great for her and would probably for alot of other girls
Your cutaways this episode are GOLDEN - I snort laughed more than once 😂
About the raw veggies as a snack, my favourite night time movie snack is cucumber and bell pepper sticks with a greek yoghurt dip. It's filling and satisfying, feels fresh and crispy, salty and creamy. Perfect to me! 😊
Wait you put rice in the fridge right after cooking it? I heard from another dietitian that you need to let it cool completely before freezing it for the safety reason, so is it different if you’re just refrigerating it??
You need to let it steam off before you refrigerate it. Spread it on a plate to steam off quickly. But refrigerate it asap, preferably in a container that will allow it to cool rapidly. I usually set an alarm of 10 minutes to put it in the refrigerator so I won't forget, which I usually do otherwise, and then I usually throw it because I don't know how long it has been.
The bacteria is Bacillus cereus if you want to do your own research.
As a novice body builder I do weight my almond milk
Taking the meal plan as only being allowed to eat theese specific ingredienses/meals is weird. (Maby becaus I am not that into diet culture.) I take it as an example of the kind of meals to make for different levels of calories per day.
I discovered Liezl a few weeks back. Her bean spread is so delicious. I eat mostly plant based with some fish. Very little bread and pasta. No processed foods. Only 1 tbsp sugar in my evening cocoa made from scratch. I counted calories for two weeks recently and didn't go over 1300. I know I was eating over 2000 a day before. I am 50 lbs over weight. I didn't lose even a half of a pound in those two weeks. So frustrating. I have chronic pain so I can't do vigorous workouts.
Going from 2000 to 1300 might be a little too much for your system andv actually inhibit weight loss. If you're interested in how a too big calorie deficit actually stops the body from losing fat, Natascha Océane has a great video mapping out the current science. I'll see if I can find the title for you.
Found it, it's called How to Lose Fat and Keep it Off, How Metabolism Works. Worth a watch if you're interested, she explains it well imo
@@katelijnesommen Good video.
I used the TDEE calculator before I started. Maintenance for me is 1678 and mild weight loss would be 1428 cals a day. To lose faster would be below 1200 so I chose an in between number. I guess I need to stick with 1428.
+10 points for the Mr. Bean clip 😂
Hey Abby, could you do a review/analysis of Elizabeth Taylor's diet from her book Elizabeth takes off? I know it's a bit ancient in terms of today's standards but I am curious on your view point on it. Please if you have the time xx
probiotic protein powder is GENIUS!
You should do a react video to Katie Dunlop from “love sweat fitness”
I was eating around 1500-1700 depending on training intensity and body goals working 12 hour shifts and training most days.
Iv hurt my back and now have failed spinal fusion so won’t be trying or working like that again not moving anywhere near as much or training so the cals in vs cals out is really tipping the balance ! I eat healthy and only clean food because I have coloitis anyway . Really stuck how to stop the pound coming on now in perimenopause as I’d need to drop cals so much lower . Iv always ate plenty so hate the thought of eating like a bird
25% of my total calory intake should be protein. A-ha.
Let's say my calory intake is 1600 kcal per day. So 25% is 400 calories. That is 100 g Proteins. My body can handle 0.3 g/kg body weight protein per meal. For me, that would be roughly 20 g/meal. So should I eat 5 meals? Please elaborate.
I envy those who can lose weight!
I absolutely love her channel and recipes! I am 5'4" 170 lbs and have only lost 10 lbs so far. I ate mostly protein and fat for meals and I STRUGGLED to eat more than 900 cal in a day. There was some days where I got 1300 in, but I didn't want to just repeat those meals. On the days when I ate 900 -- I just wasn't hungry and I don't believe in forcing myself to eat just to eat.
but when I eat crap food I can consume like 2500 - 3000 kal in a day, and still feel hungry hahaha. I've tried everything and I can't lose weight. I'm just giving up its been so stressful, BUT, I still enjoy watching your content and others' while I dream of being 135lbs again ;)
i just enjoy watching her channel for the recipes and personality. i dont care for the calories
So I may be a little biased here as I actually know her personally, but the reason she talks about 1200calories is because she’s short and she does actually mention that.
Also her surname is Afrikaans so it’s pronounced “stray dohm” ❤
