YES!! PLEASE a vid on calories. I’m in anorexia recovery and hearing that kind of stuff from you and not some other bullshit will really help me. Great vid!
I really reccomend the podcast Maintenance Phase for unlearning diet culture. They did a great job on their episodes about calories and how the old science behind calories and dieting is majorly flawed. One of the hosts has an eating disorder
Volume eating helped me a lot with losing weight (I was mind-blown when I found out about cauliflower rice 🤯), but I agree that you shouldn't neglect certain nutrient-dense foods just because they have more calories. So while I do go for low calorie options, I still eat nuts every day and add olive oil to my meals. Also love when they click bait with losing high amounts of fat in a matter of hours when it's mainly just water weight or bloating that's gone. 🙃
And it's usually pretty easy to add more nutrient dense food in too. I like making huge ass salads with a shit tonne of lettuce and tomato and then add avocado and tuna for some good protein and fat
There isn't a one size fits all approach, and I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who has never "had" to lose fat for health reasons, BUT I find a habits-focused approach to any health change is much more effective and sustainable. Instead of looking in the mirror or hopping on the scale to monitor my progress, I focus on monitoring my habits (nutrition, daily movement, exercise, positive self talk) and the results come as a symptom of those habits. I think when we are too focused on aesthetic results we inevitably fall off the wagon and work against ourselves in a way.
I definitely want a video about caloric deficit. People make it sound so simple, but it's really not because there are a whole bunch of factors that people gloss over.
I'd really love a video on how hormones and certain prescriptions make you gain weight, even if your calories don't change. I'd love to see the science behind that
I‘ve realized that I‘m usually craving specific things around dinner time, so I make sure to make dinner the meal that hits ALL my cravings and then simply adjust my breakfast, lunch and snacks so I stay in a calorie deficit, but still get full. Helped me immensely with my weight loss and binging.
In terms of volume eating going for lower calorie foods definitely helped with my boredom eating. If I just want to munch before lunch then nibbling on an apple or a sugar free jello before having a substantial meal has helped a lot
Honestly, when buying salmon, the main difference is the mercury content. I have to look for smaller amounts of mercury because I eat a lot of fish but others might be fine with a higher mercury content.
I didnt know that my diet was volume eating. I eat that way for 3 years now (lost 64 pounds) Bloating was a problem, and binge eating is a problem. From now, I will incorporate my emotionally important foods in my diet. Thanks Abbey for the trick 💗
Seriously! I've been seeing tabloids advertising apple cider vinegar as a "miracle cure" for everything from belly fat to baldness (seriously) since I learned to read back in the 90's. Like, just let it be vinegar!
Yes!!!!!! Please do a video on calories! There's so much confusion and misinformation surrounding that topic and it honestly needs to stop. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it!
A video on calories would be very helpful! I injured my knee a few months back and I've been trying to figure out my diet so I don't gain too much weight while recovering
I'm so grateful you make these videos. I used to be one of those ppl who believed in so much of this. Not from tiktok, but in a simple Google search this type of info has been around for ages....the lemon water, Apple cider vinegar, volume eating (like you mentioned in this video) and so on. And since I honestly don't have any academic education in nutrition I was believing this logic that seemed intuitive but was far from scientific.
That olive oil morning hack probably “works” for her because she’s constipated, maybe from volume eating too much fiber. But much like the juice cleanse, it’s only removing water weight by retaining then releasing it through the colon. My dad is a doctor and uses this tbsp olive oil in the morning hack because he’s chronically constipated (likely because he eats little to no fiber in a day 🙄) and it helps him get unconstipated without having to use a laxative
I am so thankful that I found your channel because at least someone talk facts and that has helped me with my recovery with bulimia and I have stopped jumping into new and new diets! Love you Abbey!
Yes to a video on calories please! I gained A LOT of weight from birth control injections/comfort eating and at the same time lost muscle from lack of exercise. Currently aiming to get to a healthier place with exercise and eating
thank-you Abbey sooo much for this video (but i love them all)! Your no-nonsense smorgasbord of weight loss diet answers is exactly what I wondered about for many of these but esp the vegan fullness one! I was vegan for 4 years all for weight loss and I did suffer nutritional deficiencies (thinning hair, nails, aching joints & the worst one is a labral hip tear that will never fully heal). I hope your followers will read this if they are thinking about being vegan (I didn't lose much weight but that's b/c of too much sugar & processed foods I think). Its just what happened to me and may not to someone else but just wanted to share. I now see a sensible, local dietician who is helping me get my health back on track. Thank-you for all you do to help us too! At 60 yo & a grandma, following experts like you, learning & practicing intuitive eating & giving myself much grace is going to be my formula for the last years of my happy life. Bless you!
Can we address the fact that a lot of people don’t actually need to lose weight. Being light isn’t necessarily healthy and I know so many people that are already slim wanting to lose the very normal within healthy range fat on their stomach. Many people could actually just benefit from health focused activities. But of course everyone had the right to do whatever we want to with our bodies. I’m just conscious there’s a huge amount of women that have been conditioned into thinking we constantly need to be shrinking our bodies.
Abbey you always bring the REAL info and I appreciate the value you bring to the concept of dieting and nutrition as a whole. I would love to see a video more in depth on calories in VS calories out, and how all calories aren’t created the same etc.
Please make a video about calories!! I am hoping to go back to the more normal weight I was before trying to lose weight unhealthily and having now gone through recovery.
Every time you say nuts are a HCC and make you feel full, I think about I'm able to eat 3 cups of almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds etc in one sitting, and being just fine eating a meal afterwards XD nuts are like chips for me
I was singing up for a gym membership at World Gym and they were selling built bars. I tasted the cookies & cream one…AND ABBEY? Abbey. These are insane. A literal chocolate bar w/ protein. Literally OBSESSED.
Greetings! I thought of a video idea I would love to see: does your metabolism slow down when you turn 40yo? I’ve had a couple people in my life say when they turned 40, their metabolism said, “Thank you, I’m outta here!” Is there any truth there? I’m a few years from 40, would love to know what you expect, or aging generally and what you need in different stages of life. More calcium…. That’s the only one I know haha Thank you!
I think that volume eating was a life saver for me because I used to struggle to have enough veggies through the day so volume eating helped me eat more veggies
I did volume eating and it stretched out my stomach so much. I can’t get satisfied by normal portions anymore. It’s not a big issue when I eat 2kg of broccoli but if I eat foods higher in calories it’s a huge issue
Volume eating absolutely doesn’t work for me. I’ll feel full but only for like an hour. Then, I feel ravenous. Like I didn’t even eat. I do have a pretty fast metabolism, and I am really active. I find it’s actually better for me to eat food that is really dense in protein. It’s more calories, but I feel fuller for much longer.
I’m guessing the whole story on calories in/out is about sustainability and satiety, both physically and mentally. I’d be interested in a video. So good to learn to work with our bodies instead of trying to trick them
I actually would love to see a take on Stephenie buttemores new what I eat in a day videos after her all in so her current ones. I think she’s finally eating pretty balanced and that would be a great video to understand abbies take on!!
I remember the salmon video! There were a ton of comments when it first came out talking about how those are two different varieties of salmon and the fat profiles of each of those fish are completely different and I don’t remember if she deleted them or what but she wouldn’t reply when people brought it up
Hi Abbey, i was wondering if you ever talked about the concept of body recomposition. I just found you a week ago and would know what you have to say about that topic or if it has nothing to do with your speciality.
Most people eat salmon exactly for the healthy fats lol and that specific guy who mentioned the volume eating isn’t bad he eats a balanced and not restrictive diet. He is a pretty good creator.
Would you be able to do a video on the dietary requirements for ppl who have Crohn’s disease? Of course everyone’s situ will be different but a general what to eat/what not to eat etc
Yes, please make a vid on calories. I'm so confused! I need to lose weight for health reasons, (I'm only about 10-15lbs over weight technically, but got a recent diagnosis of something, meaning I need to be healthier and losing some weight would be very helpful.) And it's been difficult for me to lose weight partially because I'm a tad uneducated about nutrition. Your vids have helped me so much this past year, and now they will be especially helpful for me. A dedicated video on certain subjects like calories, healthy fats, vitamins and inflammatory/ anti-inflammatory foods would be amazing.
Great video. Can't believe that person was so upset about salmon. I also wonder were they both skinless, I know the Aldi one is and that would make a big difference too.
Hi Abbey, I've a question. I have long COVID and due to that I lost my appetite. Normally I just love food and eat everything, but now I never feel hungry anymore. Eating has become a real struggle now. I have taste and smell but there are lots of things that taste weird or different (or sometimes disgusting.......). I have a dieticien(?) And that's a great help, but there is very little known about this. Do you know something about this? Do you have any advice? (Pardon my English, but I'm not a native speaker) Thanks and love from The Netherlands ❤
i just wanted to say i heard another youtuber struggle with this (Carrie Dayton) and she made a video talking a little bit about how she had to retrain her nose to smell correctly again, and by extension her preference for food. It might help!
oh my gosh I had this exact same thing, where some foods would just taste as if they were rotten! And it was almost all my fav foods (Nuts, nutbutters, popcorn, yoghurt, coffee, paprika...). Even water had a weird unbearable smell to it. I had this for over a freaking year, I really hope you will have a faster recovery. I remember the moment my almond butter tasted normally again I started bawling :D My tip is just to force yourself to eat as you did and while you eat try to recall how these things truly smell/taste. Unfortunately there is no quick solution. You have to be patient and train your senses. But tbh, now that I am like 95% recovered I smell and taste so much more intense than before (which is truly great!)
@@TheRikkuShak thanks! Did you also loose your appetite? For me, that's the main struggle.....my smell is fine, my taste not so, but not feeling hungry anymore, that's bad 😥
I’ve had this for only a short period of time, just after I regained my sense of smell and taste. Appetite was still down most of the time, many things tasted differently and I didn’t like the food I usually like (for me, the problem was mostly that I could taste everything salty much more intensely than other things, some things not at all, some more or less, so everything tasted just weird). What kind of worked for me was preparing my meals differently - like using only a little bit or no salt at all, using more of flavors that I couldn’t taste so well but still tasted okay. Someone with normal sense of taste and smell would have probably not eaten more than one bite, but I kind of found out how to prepare meals in a way that tasted okay at the moment and I just cut out everything that made things taste weird or disgusting. I know that’s not great advice and you probably figured that our by yourself, but that’s all I can offer. I hope everything will get back to normal for you soon. Also, I heard that eating ginger could help with setting your sense of taste back to normal - I ate fresh ginger (about the amount of two or three teaspoons) every day and drank ginger tea, but I don’t know if it actually helped me regain my sense of taste. But might be worth trying.
I'm interested in calorie cycling or zigzag deficit but there just isn't any information out there I can trust so mentioning that in a calorie video would help a lot.
I will support volume eating in one specific scenario. Quitting smoking. I've been nicotine free for 28 days, and things like watermelon have been a LIFESAVER. I needed that hand to mouth motion while my body broke the nicotine cravings and volume eating satisfied that need without adding a bunch of extra calories. (Plus, watermelon is delicious).
I feel like all of these hacks are endless opportunities for people to trial and error themselves into failure with real weightloss. Thanks for the content!
It should be considered malpractice for a dietitian to suggest that anyone can eat anything in moderation! So if you are diabetic you may just need to adjust your medication? Really? The goal should be a diet that reduces or elimination medications!
yes!!! Make a video on calories!!!! How are different type of calories work? What kinds of food are more detrimental? Are there foods you can eat in which the calories of that food don’t matter?
1- Loving the late summer creamsicle color pallet, that shade of orange looks so good on abbey! 2- What's "Mister Horse" (10:44) I feel old and out of touch
Omg! In college, I read about the whole drink apple cigar vinegar to help lose weight! I was like ok! But I couldn’t stand the taste in water so I had this brilliant idea to do it as a shot. I immediately threw up. And now the smell of apple cider makes me nausea. I legitimately traumatized myself with apple cider vinegar and get triggered by the smell. Anyways, I had no common sense as a college student at that age hahahah.
Thank you for reminding me that weight loss is actually a slow and boring process -- so I should just eat a wide variety of foods in moderation and move daily and just put that on autopilot and leave it running in the background of my days. Slow and steady, no secrets, shortcuts, or hype.
One thing I’ve learned losing over 100 lbs in 1.5 years (60 in the first 4 months) is that we fluctuate water weight 2-5 lbs throughout the day. It’s crazy, I literally weigh myself before bed AND in the middle of the night and it be the same, but in the morning after I pee I’ll have gone down 2-3 lbs! Like how?!?!? It really is true you NEED SLEEP TO LOSE WEIGHT lol.
Lol, I'm just so damn happy that I found your channel by chance roughly 2, maybe 3 years ago and QUIT doing these crazy things which only ever amounted to temporary weight loss, sometimes extra $ in the grocery bill and definitely, frustration and honestly, depression. Your science and nutritional based information helped me achieve an approximate 60 pound weight loss, over the course of about 18 months, BUT, most importantly, MAINTAIN THE LOSS, without sacrificing the foods I enjoy. I don't exercise like crazy, no gym membership, but I do move my body more (simple stuff, no equipment needed, put that shopping cart back in the corral;-). Mostly I think the nutritional aspect, your HCC formula and the scientific information you provide, just makes sense. I'm nearly 60, I've drank far too much lemon water, varieties of vinegar, and juices, ...all the popular diets over the years, been there done that, none had results that lasted very long. I suppose maybe I stumbled into Intuative Eating, but it was never my goal. I just wanted to lose weight because of sudden scary health problems of friends and family members. I am so happy and fortunate that my online search found your channel, finding your channel, combined with the logical conclusion that "I didn't gain 20, 40 or 60 pounds in a week, therefore I won't lose that much in a week", helped me set realistic goals and I now eat more, feel SO much better, and actually eat and enjoy,, foods I used to "ban". So, all that being said, when I'm searching for nutritional recipes and the content provider comes out like a "Sham Wow" advertisement, I'm so moving on!!! Sorry, I know this is long winded but I have never been successful long term with weight loss and and most importantly, I don't believe I've ever been as healthy, well rested, and content with my body, my life, etc., as I am currently. I know this is a very long review but I am just so appreciate and happy that my life, health and well-being has improved as much as it has and for FREE!!!! I simply cannot express the impact your videos have had to help me to be overall healthier and happier. Whenever anyone asks about "what diet I'm on", I tell them to look you up. Thank you so VERY much for your amazing efforts!
Abbey do you have any tips for how to lose excess weight when you can't increase your activity levels? I have ME so exercise causes illness flare ups. In the past 6-9 months idk when it began I've gained over a stone which is quite far outside of my body's natural fluctuations and my shape has changed which I've found quite jarring. I had an illness flare and was sleeping all day for a couple of weeks and lost a good amount of the weight (idk how much no scales in my house but my clothes fit better again) because I was sleeping through mealtimes, but now that I'm back to being able to function during the day and eating three meals a day I've gained it back. I don't know how to eat three meals a day (which I have an appetite for, I'm not over eating) while getting back to my normal weight range. Normal here being the normal since I got ill and became a lot more sedentary eight years ago, this is the first major shift since then.
I'm in Melbourne, honestly they are full of artificial sweetners and after looking at the ingredients list you may as well eat a Mars Bar and be happy 👍
Could you do a video on Reina Scully's video "I'm Fat in Japan"? She's so upset because she's pregnant with a miracle baby after being told she's infertile for 17 years and she's trying to eat healthy because the doctor's guilting her about her weight gain. She's also being culturally pressured not to eat cold foods and you'll have to pry that watermelon out of her hands. She's trying not to get stressed but it's super fascinating seeing the differences between how expecting moms should expect to be treated in different countries. She even got given a cute little charm for her purse as a "pregnant pass" to skip lines and sit in priority seating.
So i started intuitive eating. Ive found my mental health has already improved. My confusion is how does one lose weight and tone down (my personal goal) while not restricting myself when i eat? Maybe my answer will come in the later parts of the intuitive eating book you recommended but im curious if anyone knows the answer
I didn't watch the video yet, but I can already say that TikTok is messed up especially when it comes to "weight loss hacks" 😭
I agree
Same…. Even when the name TkTok just pops up 😂😭
I know right!
Yupp!! I recovered from an ED that came from being in lock down and I had to delete Tik Tok for that reason
@@abigailkemp7626 I'm proud that you found your way to recover better ❤

Volume eating helped me a lot with losing weight (I was mind-blown when I found out about cauliflower rice 🤯), but I agree that you shouldn't neglect certain nutrient-dense foods just because they have more calories. So while I do go for low calorie options, I still eat nuts every day and add olive oil to my meals.

For sure!
at least a lot of the low energy foods are also high in fibre
Same! I love going for soft tofu and veggies as a favourite snack but I’m still putting sesame oil on it and nut butters are another favourite.
What do you mean adding volume made you lose weight? Can you elaborate please?
There isn't a one size fits all approach, and I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who has never "had" to lose fat for health reasons, BUT I find a habits-focused approach to any health change is much more effective and sustainable.

I had to delete tiktok when I first started recovery because of how much dangerous content there is on that app
i remember i clicked uninterested on every video on the lines of “health” and diet and what i eat in a days for a few weeks
In terms of volume eating going for lower calorie foods definitely helped with my boredom eating. If I just want to munch before lunch then nibbling on an apple or a sugar free jello before having a substantial meal has helped a lot
Thanks for sharing!
I wonder what the serving size of those salmon products are? That would explain why the fat amount would be so different.
And they look like they're different species of salmon, which could also impact the fat content.
The wild caught is a 4 oz serving, and the farm raised is 5.5 oz.
I bet there was oil in the higher fat one
Honestly, when buying salmon, the main difference is the mercury content. I have to look for smaller amounts of mercury because I eat a lot of fish but others might be fine with a higher mercury content.

Just wanted to say that I love your channel :) You've helped me and many people
I'm here for the Eurovision reference (Fairytale) 😆
I thought ACV was the vinegar everyone went for because it's probiotic? Bc everyone always said you have to get the one "with the mother"
Hi Abbey, I've a question. I have long COVID and due to that I lost my appetite. Normally I just love food and eat everything, but now I never feel hungry anymore. Eating has become a real struggle now. I have taste and smell but there are lots of things that taste weird or different (or sometimes disgusting.......). I have a dieticien(?) And that's a great help, but there is very little known about this. Do you know something about this? Do you have any advice? (Pardon my English, but I'm not a native speaker) Thanks and love from The Netherlands ❤
i just wanted to say i heard another youtuber struggle with this (Carrie Dayton) and she made a video talking a little bit about how she had to retrain her nose to smell correctly again, and by extension her preference for food. It might help!
oh my gosh I had this exact same thing, where some foods would just taste as if they were rotten! And it was almost all my fav foods (Nuts, nutbutters, popcorn, yoghurt, coffee, paprika...). Even water had a weird unbearable smell to it. I had this for over a freaking year, I really hope you will have a faster recovery. I remember the moment my almond butter tasted normally again I started bawling :D My tip is just to force yourself to eat as you did and while you eat try to recall how these things truly smell/taste. Unfortunately there is no quick solution. You have to be patient and train your senses. But tbh, now that I am like 95% recovered I smell and taste so much more intense than before (which is truly great!)
@@clairedixon5471 thanks! I'll see her video.❤
@@TheRikkuShak thanks! Did you also loose your appetite? For me, that's the main struggle.....my smell is fine, my taste not so, but not feeling hungry anymore, that's bad 😥
I’ve had this for only a short period of time, just after I regained my sense of smell and taste. Appetite was still down most of the time, many things tasted differently and I didn’t like the food I usually like (for me, the problem was mostly that I could taste everything salty much more intensely than other things, some things not at all, some more or less, so everything tasted just weird).
What kind of worked for me was preparing my meals differently - like using only a little bit or no salt at all, using more of flavors that I couldn’t taste so well but still tasted okay. Someone with normal sense of taste and smell would have probably not eaten more than one bite, but I kind of found out how to prepare meals in a way that tasted okay at the moment and I just cut out everything that made things taste weird or disgusting.
I know that’s not great advice and you probably figured that our by yourself, but that’s all I can offer. I hope everything will get back to normal for you soon.
Also, I heard that eating ginger could help with setting your sense of taste back to normal - I ate fresh ginger (about the amount of two or three teaspoons) every day and drank ginger tea, but I don’t know if it actually helped me regain my sense of taste. But might be worth trying.
Abbey's dance every time she bites into a Built Bar is my FAVOURITE!!!
It’s my favorite cringe definitely .
I would like to watch a video about Heidi Klum's diet. I think her body is amazing. Also Naomi Campbell would be an interesting idea
I'm interested in calorie cycling or zigzag deficit but there just isn't any information out there I can trust so mentioning that in a calorie video would help a lot.
Please make a vid about calories!!
Olive oil + lemon. That’s a salad dressing, and a delicious one at that.
I will support volume eating in one specific scenario. Quitting smoking. I've been nicotine free for 28 days, and things like watermelon have been a LIFESAVER. I needed that hand to mouth motion while my body broke the nicotine cravings and volume eating satisfied that need without adding a bunch of extra calories. (Plus, watermelon is delicious).
Yes, a video on calories would be awesome.
I feel like all of these hacks are endless opportunities for people to trial and error themselves into failure with real weightloss. Thanks for the content!
“So toxic, and I love it” describes me perfectly when it comes to TikTok 🤣
It should be considered malpractice for a dietitian to suggest that anyone can eat anything in moderation! So if you are diabetic you may just need to adjust your medication? Really? The goal should be a diet that reduces or elimination medications!
yes!!! Make a video on calories!!!! How are different type of calories work? What kinds of food are more detrimental? Are there foods you can eat in which the calories of that food don’t matter?
A spoon of oil on an empty stomach is just a laxative. That's why she lost those pounds.
I'd love to see a video on calories. I've been learning so much from you!!
I seriously love the blazer!!
What are the best Dietitian book you recommend?!
Have you ever done a video about weight loss surgery? Interested in your perspective.
Duhhh losing 2 inches and a few pounds is because YOU DIDNT EAT!!!!!
olive oil and lemon and my brain instantly went “oh! Dressing!” Then I realized there was no salt or pepper and it’s a shot.
1- Loving the late summer creamsicle color pallet, that shade of orange looks so good on abbey!
2- What's "Mister Horse" (10:44) I feel old and out of touch
Omg! In college, I read about the whole drink apple cigar vinegar to help lose weight! I was like ok! But I couldn’t stand the taste in water so I had this brilliant idea to do it as a shot. I immediately threw up. And now the smell of apple cider makes me nausea. I legitimately traumatized myself with apple cider vinegar and get triggered by the smell. Anyways, I had no common sense as a college student at that age hahahah.
Can you make a video on the candida diet? Please!!!
I love what you’re wearing Abbey!
Thank you for reminding me that weight loss is actually a slow and boring process -- so I should just eat a wide variety of foods in moderation and move daily and just put that on autopilot and leave it running in the background of my days. Slow and steady, no secrets, shortcuts, or hype.
I would love to see a video on the truth about calories!
yess to a video on calories - I feel like my whole life I've been fed misinformation (no pun intended)
Yeah the good old juice cleanse...minus two pounds of pee in the morning after being up all night visiting the lavatory!
would you ever cover "how not to die/diet" Micheal gregor stuff?
Thanks abbey, love your jacket!
One thing I’ve learned losing over 100 lbs in 1.5 years (60 in the first 4 months) is that we fluctuate water weight 2-5 lbs throughout the day. It’s crazy, I literally weigh myself before bed AND in the middle of the night and it be the same, but in the morning after I pee I’ll have gone down 2-3 lbs! Like how?!?!? It really is true you NEED SLEEP TO LOSE WEIGHT lol.
I’d love your take on calories Abbey. There are so many theories out there.
World needs voices like yours! Reason, scientific facts and knowledge in times when we got eating and food so wrong, are sooo important.
.. wild caught is soo bad for the ocean but farm raised is bad for the ocean too
Both sides have their benefits and disadvantages
Farm raised fish is awful and also higher in inflammatory omega 6's
Please do your video on the truth about calories 🎉 It would be very helpful 👍🏻
Lol, I'm just so damn happy that I found your channel by chance roughly 2, maybe 3 years ago and QUIT doing these crazy things which only ever amounted to temporary weight loss, sometimes extra $ in the grocery bill and definitely, frustration and honestly, depression. Your science and nutritional based information helped me achieve an approximate 60 pound weight loss, over the course of about 18 months, BUT, most importantly, MAINTAIN THE LOSS, without sacrificing the foods I enjoy. I don't exercise like crazy, no gym membership, but I do move my body more (simple stuff, no equipment needed, put that shopping cart back in the corral;-). Mostly I think the nutritional aspect, your HCC formula and the scientific information you provide, just makes sense. I'm nearly 60, I've drank far too much lemon water, varieties of vinegar, and juices, ...all the popular diets over the years, been there done that, none had results that lasted very long. I suppose maybe I stumbled into Intuative Eating, but it was never my goal. I just wanted to lose weight because of sudden scary health problems of friends and family members. I am so happy and fortunate that my online search found your channel, finding your channel, combined with the logical conclusion that "I didn't gain 20, 40 or 60 pounds in a week, therefore I won't lose that much in a week", helped me set realistic goals and I now eat more, feel SO much better, and actually eat and enjoy,, foods I used to "ban". So, all that being said, when I'm searching for nutritional recipes and the content provider comes out like a "Sham Wow" advertisement, I'm so moving on!!! Sorry, I know this is long winded but I have never been successful long term with weight loss and and most importantly, I don't believe I've ever been as healthy, well rested, and content with my body, my life, etc., as I am currently. I know this is a very long review but I am just so appreciate and happy that my life, health and well-being has improved as much as it has and for FREE!!!! I simply cannot express the impact your videos have had to help me to be overall healthier and happier. Whenever anyone asks about "what diet I'm on", I tell them to look you up. Thank you so VERY much for your amazing efforts!
Please do a video on calories!!! I'm so interested in your opinion 🙌
Abbey do you have any tips for how to lose excess weight when you can't increase your activity levels?
I have ME so exercise causes illness flare ups. In the past 6-9 months idk when it began I've gained over a stone which is quite far outside of my body's natural fluctuations and my shape has changed which I've found quite jarring. I had an illness flare and was sleeping all day for a couple of weeks and lost a good amount of the weight (idk how much no scales in my house but my clothes fit better again) because I was sleeping through mealtimes, but now that I'm back to being able to function during the day and eating three meals a day I've gained it back. I don't know how to eat three meals a day (which I have an appetite for, I'm not over eating) while getting back to my normal weight range. Normal here being the normal since I got ill and became a lot more sedentary eight years ago, this is the first major shift since then.
Extra points for the Eurovision (Alexander Rybak) reference there 💖
When is build bar coming to AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 I neeed to tryyyyy
I'm in Melbourne, honestly they are full of artificial sweetners and after looking at the ingredients list you may as well eat a Mars Bar and be happy 👍
Could you do a video on Reina Scully's video "I'm Fat in Japan"? She's so upset because she's pregnant with a miracle baby after being told she's infertile for 17 years and she's trying to eat healthy because the doctor's guilting her about her weight gain. She's also being culturally pressured not to eat cold foods and you'll have to pry that watermelon out of her hands. She's trying not to get stressed but it's super fascinating seeing the differences between how expecting moms should expect to be treated in different countries. She even got given a cute little charm for her purse as a "pregnant pass" to skip lines and sit in priority seating.
I have unconsiously been volume eating my entire life, AKA eating loads of fruits and vegetables....Feel great and I am slim.
Yes pleas do a video about calories
So i started intuitive eating. Ive found my mental health has already improved. My confusion is how does one lose weight and tone down (my personal goal) while not restricting myself when i eat?
Maybe my answer will come in the later parts of the intuitive eating book you recommended but im curious if anyone knows the answer
