I work at a whole foods and think about this all the time when I see people who think they're getting healthy snacks or "better" snacks when they're just as bad as other junk food sometimes. And it's not their fault. These products trick you with their wording.
+Soozee Sebastian Absolutely! I feel awful because it's totally not the consumers fault, the companies WANT us to think these are better choices so we buy them. But it is our responsibility as consumers to learn to see past those claims and recognize what they really mean. Little by little we will teach, learn and grow :)
+Mind Over Munch that was what I thought this video was about lol. Instead the ones you did were kinda obvious to me. I even told my boyfriend I did not trust the veggie chips. I would just rather make my own. The better ones to have used is those found in the healthy section of Krogers or Whole Foods. Just because it is in these areas or stores does not mean it is actually better for you. I think you did still get people thinking though. I try to think about how processed is it. That still is hard to determine.
Remember, what you decide to eat is your choice. BUT it is important to be aware of what is in those choices we make, so let’s learn together. What’s your favorite processed snack? Anyone remember… dunkaroos? 🙄😁
Man, I love most of those! That's bad right! I actually am recently trying to only snack on fruits, like my own challenge! Btw I have been trying to rarely eat chips, and also trying to eat chips with ingredients: potatoes, oil, and salt, I'm also sometimes making my own spinach chips, some oil, and salt, then i bake them and enjoy! I actually don't eat fruit snacks, well except REAL fruit! I also don't eat the "healthy" version of Oreos, I eat Oreos, except now I'm pretty happy cause their also a tit healthier lol! And I also usually make my own yogurt covered stuff, I usually cover berries, like blueberries and strawberries, and eat all of that in the summer! I rarely eat those chippy things cause they don't sell them in my country! NOT EVEN CHETOS! 😢😱 I really love healthy snacks, like FRUIT! And yes, yes, please do a dark Choccolate vid! ❤️😘 Love from Italy!
I would LOVE a video about ice cream. What is healthy(ish) vs. unhealthy. Non-dairy versions, regular kinds, & homemade. Ice cream is my ultimate vice and Nice Cream just doesn't do it for me.
+Mind Over Munch just learned of this new brand of ice cream Halo Top. low in calories and carbs. high in protein. just wondering your take on this ice cream. www.halotop.com
I know the disappointment you feel when you open a bag of chips to see it only 1/3 full but the air is in there so the chips don't get crushed before they're bought. 😉
I would love it if you did a video on foods that are healthy fuel and also high in dopamine. These are the type of foods I seek out to get that punch I use to get from junk food. I have slowly let lower fat cheese back in my diet and strawberries are great but I need more options for this.
The reason why I love your channel is that you are actually shaping the way I think about food and nutrition, it is truly a matter of "mind over much" as you state, and it's not just words but a concept that I see applied in every single video. I admire your coherence, plus your videos are honestly super funny and beautiful to watch. I haven't enough words to say how much I love your attitude, so take my comments as the best feedback I can give :)
+Azzurra Cesario :) Thank you so very much! Your feedback is extremely appreciated, I can promise you that! I'm so glad you are finding the content useful and enjoyable to watch :) That inspires me to keep going!
Your videos are amazing. I try to keep my daughter on a whole food diet, now she is also a kid. So she does get treats here and there. These videos help me alot.
You have completely changed the way I think about foods. I think you are so informative, intelligent and I hope you deserve the recognition you deserve soon. I love your work!
What do you think about pop chips? I'm on a weight loss journey and I'm trying to find a healthier alternative to chips I can snack on every once in a while lol
I want the vid on Dark Chocolate! Tbh, I will never be able to remove it from my diet, but since I will be consuming it in moderation ;) I at least would like to know the lack of health benefits. Also, I usually eat the 60-80% kinds because I like the bitterness, anything less is just too sweet.
+Mind Over Munch this may be random but, I really like your name lol I won't be having kids anytime soon but I have a thing for A names and so I'm definitely putting your name on my potential baby names list lol Sorry if this is creepy >_
Thank you for taking the time to determine all the information you provide. I especially appreciate the reality of the information share, because it helps me to be more honest with myself. You are a gem!
+Lauren Schexnider Thank you, I really appreciate that! I really don't want to tell people what to do, I just want to help people understand so they can make their own decisions! Thank you for watching!!
Do you have a video about the different sugar to use and which one is healither? For example there is raw sugar, cane sugar, and processed granulated sugar. I would be interested in seeing your findings.
I got really excited when I remembered it was Thursday because that means.. new video!! :D Please make an updated video about your thoughts on different types of diets! (Keto, Paleo, 5:2, IIFYM, etc)
My family and I eat processed food everyday and I want to change that, so these videos are really helping to educate me. All my daughter (9 yrs old) wants to eat is chocolate, candy, cakes, pop-tarts and she is so mean when I deny her those foods. She hates dinner time unless it's something she likes. I feel like she is spiraling out of control. I never have energy and am constantly crashing from caffeine or sugar. I think I am ready for a change. I do not buy soda on a regular basis, we buy it when we order takeout. I turn crazy, I have to drink it until it's gone. Then when I drink water again it tastes different. I am going on 30 and want to improve the quality of my life. That is what is motivating me lately.
+naisha page I am so glad you are all learning and finding motivation! If you are feeling inspired, use that to fuel your journey! You will never regret it :)
yes please do a dark chocolate video.. I love to eat it but I'm not sure what is the cleanest choice? thanks I love all the work you put in your videos.. thanks!!
I would love a dark chocolate video! I drastically changed the way I eat and purchase food (and exercise) starting in January - I found your channel in January as I was trying to start making changes and binged on all your videos and I've learned so much. I feel really great and am down 18 pounds so far. Thanks for you what you do - it's been so helpful
+Kimberly Berenotto That is AMAZING! Congrats on your fantastic success so far, you should be so proud :) Thank you so much for your support, happy to have you here!!
Another awesome video, Alyssia!! Is incredible how much you work for this videos and I hope everybody is notice that. Is a yes for me on the dark chocolate video.
+Lourdes Bordone Thank you :) This one did take a long time but I really love making these videos because I think they can help people make some realizations! Much love
You are so cheesy and quirky I love it! Your videos are very informative and fun to watch, and I love how you break it down. Three days ago I started a complete lifestyle change and I make green smoothies every morning, I just tried that sweet potato toast with peanut butter and banana and I love it. I'm excited about watching more videos :) Great job
I get so excited whenever you have a new video! Great job! Can you do a dark chocolate video and talk about the dark chocolate bars infused with "superfruits" and other fruits??
Love this! Thanks for sharing and keeping us informed. I love processed food, too, but I do admit they're not healthy. Just keep it whole and have the processed stuff every now and then. ps. I especially LOVE snap pea chips haha. They're a big weakness of mine xD
That video is so eye opening everyone should watch it!!Im so impressed u must have worked so much on this video!Thank you so much!Following you for a long time loving every video!Please keep doing loads for us!:)
I'm so happy that you're the same way about temptation food in the house! If it's there, I'll eat it. I want to have self control so badly, I'm trying, but the snacks/sweets call to me like the devil over my shoulder. "Hey, girl. I know you want that. 'treat yo'self!" NO! STOP IT! Hahaha.
+Desirae Baker lol YES! I won't just eat one serving of whatever the processed food is... I'll eat the whole bag. Even if I take a serving out and put it in a bowl I will just go back later and get more. It's amazing how un-lazy I get when processed foods are in the house! 😂
What would I ever do without you... Like seriously... Thank you soooooooo much!!! Like soooooooo much! Love and hugs for all the time you spend in doing this for us :)
Thanks for all the time and work you put into this! We love snacks, but it's hard to find snacks at the grocery store that are healthy. Thanks for educating us and not railing against the products or those who eat them. We all need reminders of how to live a healthier lifestyle. :)
+QuadSquad :) Exactly! Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. My goal isn't to tell people what to do, it's to help us learn how to make better choices. Once we know, it's up to us to decide to make those choices! Thank you for your support and watching!
OMG this video is an eye opener thanks so much for posting this because sometimes I think that the chips are actually healthy when they have that label
Sharing this on Facebook 👍🏼 my pet hate is how people buy these 'healthy' alternatives and are so naive to what they actually are!! Make your own treats people! That's how you know what's in your food 🙌🏽 you're great. More videos please 👌🏼 you're much better at math than I am! x
OMG Alyssia, i don't think that i have enough of you in a single upload a week. I really miss seeing your videos everyday :( oh well. Thanks for this video you never disappoint and i would love you to make the dark chocolate video please ;)
I love your videos so much. You truly are putting quality, informative and researched content out for free. I miss your NY vids, though (especially when you went buy at Fairway).
Yes to the dark chocolate video! What's your opinion on Terra Chips? I'm sure they are not "good" for anyone because they do have added oils but, in my mind, i think it is better that you are actually getting the root vegetable (potato, yam, cassava, beet, etc) as a base than potatoes dyed to look like other veggies. This was a great video, thanks for all your time and effort:)
+Jocey R I think it's great that Terra chips actually use root veggies as a base! But a potato is a root vegetable too and potatoes aren't bad for us either :) At the end of the day, the chips are still heavily doused in oil and baked, regardless of what the base is. There might be better chip choices, but they still shouldn't be considered a serving of veggies, if that makes sense :) Thank you!!
I use to work at Wal-Mart and at one time Safeway. If someone returns a food item, even unopened the FDA requires we throw it away we can't even donate them. They may not be clean but you should donate them to the food bank or give them to someone who is less fortunate so they are not wasted. :)
I love your videos and I show them to my Life Skills/Transitional High school class. I would love to see you do a video on healthier choices you can make at a convenience store (Wawa, 7/11 or a corner store)
These segments on deciphering the macros are great. I was lucky to have media literacy in high school but I think it's easy to get duped by packaging that "claims" health benefits.
Oh dear, I just found you and I already LOVE your videos!! I am a health freak as well and your videos make it so much easier for me and for everyone I want to explain about healthy nutrition! Keep up the AWESOME job
Thank you so much for posting this! I will be sharing it with my family to help them on their healthy living journey as well. :) Would enjoy a dark chocolate video!
thanks for you video .. i like how u are so relatable!! i too cant control myself from chips , so i try not buying them unless i planned on eating them in one setting.
My pleasure, I'm so glad the video resonated with you! I definitely struggle with snack foods and sometimes my best bet is to not keep them around regularly - just as an occasional treat!
Actually more than just dark chocolate I would love a chocolate video in general! What chocolate is best/worst for you? What exactly is white chocolate? What is cacao and does it actually taste like chocolate?
Love this kind of stuff, I read labels like crazy after Whole30 and I'm still amazed at how many things have sugar that you wouldn't even think is there!
Making your food from scratch is the best idea. I post one video a week with a meal from scratch. Tomorrow's upload is lunch no rise wheat bread rolls, homemade whole egg mayo and tuna fish :)
The most important thing is to snack on things that are filled with real food and nourishing ingredients that will leave you feeling energised and happy. Ella Woodward
Please do a video on salad dressings, I was eating a salad while watching this and caught a look at the dressing and my "lite" version had 7grams of fat...should have just crumpled some potato chips on my salad instead
I love your video's. I find them very interesting and helpful. Love your personality!! How nutritional are veggie straws?? Yes, please do a dark chocolate video!! Thank you!!
The problem is when you return the food to a grocery store it is a health hazard to resell so the returned food will either be tossed in the garbage or occasionally (while rarely) they can donate it if it meets specific requirements. Please consider just donating directly to your local food bank or soup kitchen in the future.
Hi Mate. I just saw your first video through a link via Singapore health promotion board website. It was good and improves general awareness which is generally missing these days. Anyways dark chocolate video would be very helpful since we recently went to France and Italy and found way more options of dark chocolate based food items like Grom ice cream. I think they are good for health the more bitter they are.
Thanks for this video! You always put so much in to it which makes the video funny, informative and just so enjoyable the same time :) I'd love to see a video about dark chocolate! I always thinks it's a bit better than "normal" chocolate :)
She needs a lot of thumbs up!! So much hours of work and dedication.❤️ We love you.
+MsVlogNews thank you very much :) This one did take a looooong time haha
+Mind Over Munch and we appreciate that💚
+MsVlogNews What a great comment! = )
seriously!! wish I could give more than one
Arianna Quiero Yes! did you watch her last video? "Sugar & Sweeteners 101" SHE'S AMAZING!

True
Chips are a great weakness. One minute they're hiding behind the microwave and the next minute there's 2-3 empty bags of chips I've inhaled.
+IdieDreamPlayGround I know about that weakness!
So much great info, thanks so much for sharing Alyssia!
+The Domestic Geek Thanks Sara Lynn!
You two are so amazing!
Yogurt covered has always seemed like white chocolate covered to me!
+pup girl it practically is! It's just as delicious lol!
it is but yogurt tastes so much better
Remember, what you decide to eat is your choice. BUT it is important to be aware of what is in those choices we make, so let’s learn together. What’s your favorite processed snack? Anyone remember… dunkaroos? 🙄😁
+Mind Over Munch Thank you for this! Chips are what I usually crave the most. That's why I try to keep some 2 ingredient cheesy egg chips on hand :)
+lyricann36 I knowwwww I am all about chips, I honestly can't be near them!
My kids (eldest is 7) had their first dunkaroos this summer when camping with friends. holy sugar high!
Man, I love most of those! That's bad right! I actually am recently trying to only snack on fruits, like my own challenge!

Yes
and yes for dark chocolate video! what to look at! !! :)!!
Agreed. Want a dark chocolate video as well.
Oops, just found it's been done. Adding to "watch later"
Lays is not a potato chips they're just a bag of air with a little bit potato chips as a free gift.
I know the disappointment you feel when you open a bag of chips to see it only 1/3 full but the air is in there so the chips don't get crushed before they're bought. 😉
+Yandere .Ren lol so true!

What about the different brands of popcorn? And yes please do a dark chocolate vid
+La Doshis Thank you for the suggestion!
I want the vid on Dark Chocolate!
Tbh, I will never be able to remove it from my diet, but since I will be consuming it in moderation ;) I at least would like to know the lack of health benefits.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO. Thank you for taking the time to make it! I'm going to show it to my best friend who's trying to adapt to a healthier lifestyle!
People out here really eat snacks daily 😭
I really love the way that U look at health and explain it !!! a truly great way to look at all lifestyles :) keep up the amazing work.

+Justcool Ncurly thank you for the suggestion!
ZenLifeTV neither. stevia is the best sweetener and then birch xylitol. Sugar is poison
I got really excited when I remembered it was Thursday because that means.. new video!! :D
Please make an updated video about your thoughts on different types of diets! (Keto, Paleo, 5:2, IIFYM, etc)

Yes! Dark Chocolate next! Keep up the awesome work! Love you!

+Sallyboebally Thank you!!
OMG Alyssia, i don't think that i have enough of you in a single upload a week. I really miss seeing your videos everyday :( oh well. Thanks for this video you never disappoint and i would love you to make the dark chocolate video please ;)
+BeBeautifulBeYou lol I KNOWWWW I'm missing it too. We might have some more secret content coming soon.. :) Thank you!
I love your videos so much. You truly are putting quality, informative and researched content out for free. I miss your NY vids, though (especially when you went buy at Fairway).
+Di JT Thank you!! I miss NY vids (and I miss NYC in general lol). I will probably end up there again someday...

When you return the food , the store throws it away. You should donate the food instead.
Thanks for the tip

I love processed food too. Dark chocolate video? Yes please Alyssia!! Love you

That's a good point Alyssia!!! The more you eat unhealthy foods, the more you crave them!! Omg!! Mind blown!! Lol thanks for the video!!

Another great video, thanks :) And your helicopter hat self is too adorable, especially eating the snacks at the end! lol
+bronwenism lol! Thank you
The original HARIBO from Germany doesn't contain artificial colors😅 different countries, different ingredients, same brands🤷♀️
thanks for you video .. i like how u are so relatable!! i too cant control myself from chips , so i try not buying them unless i planned on eating them in one setting.
My pleasure, I'm so glad the video resonated with you! I definitely struggle with snack foods and sometimes my best bet is to not keep them around regularly - just as an occasional treat!
Actually more than just dark chocolate I would love a chocolate video in general! What chocolate is best/worst for you? What exactly is white chocolate? What is cacao and does it actually taste like chocolate?
+hello7788 Ok great suggestions, thank you!
Love this! So helpful! Please do one on dark chocolate :)
+abigra bock thank you! Ok great!
Love this kind of stuff, I read labels like crazy after Whole30 and I'm still amazed at how many things have sugar that you wouldn't even think is there!
It really is so crazy!! thank you :)
Making your food from scratch is the best idea. I post one video a week with a meal from scratch. Tomorrow's upload is lunch no rise wheat bread rolls, homemade whole egg mayo and tuna fish :)
You are the best!! Your videos are so informational and hilarious! So much time put into your videos and we sure do appreciate you :)
Thank you so much!!
The most important thing is to snack on things that are filled with real food and nourishing ingredients that will leave you feeling energised and happy.

+Rose Thorne awesome! Will do!
This is excellent. Thank you for this in-depth analysis. It was "fun" too.
+ckrtom2 :) Thanks so much!
Please do a video on salad dressings, I was eating a salad while watching this and caught a look at the dressing and my "lite" version had 7grams of fat...should have just crumpled some potato chips on my salad instead
+Farwa oh yes, great suggestion! Thanks!!
You're amazing. My fav RUclips channel!!
+jastoomuch24
This was so informative!! My nephew loves those darn veggie chips! Oh and dark chocolate video! Yes, please! :)
+Nichole Baniwas awesome, thank you!!! :)
I love your video's. I find them very interesting and helpful. Love your personality!! How nutritional are veggie straws?? Yes, please do a dark chocolate video!! Thank you!!
+gina gilley Thank you very much :) The veggie straws are pretty similar to the veggie chips :)
Also, need to notice that veggie chips have So much more sodium in them than the lays.
I feel like you have enriched my life so much and I'm only 5 min into the vid
The problem is when you return the food to a grocery store it is a health hazard to resell so the returned food will either be tossed in the garbage or occasionally (while rarely) they can donate it if it meets specific requirements.
Please consider just donating directly to your local food bank or soup kitchen in the future.
+Jasmine Starr thanks for the tip!
love your videos!! so helpful!! pls do the dark chocolate video!!
+Veronica Valdes thank you!!
Such a great Video,, definitely want the dark chocolate one too 😍😍😍
+Fares Touma ok thanks!
Hi Mate. I just saw your first video through a link via Singapore health promotion board website. It was good and improves general awareness which is generally missing these days. Anyways dark chocolate video would be very helpful since we recently went to France and Italy and found way more options of dark chocolate based food items like Grom ice cream. I think they are good for health the more bitter they are.
I'm very glad you found it helpful, thanks so much! Welcome to the channel :)
I'm interested in the dark chocolate video!!! =) I love this video!! =)
+Lygia Muzzio great, thank you!!
Thanks for this video! You always put so much in to it which makes the video funny, informative and just so enjoyable the same time :) I'd love to see a video about dark chocolate! I always thinks it's a bit better than "normal" chocolate :)
+Scarlett thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Dark chocolate to come :)
Cutting thin potatoes and baking them smothered in spices are delicious :)
+Brad Clarke omg YES! I love potatoes!
