Thanks so much for watching my videos & supporting my channel! xx
I think it would be interesting taking this concept, and making an advice video on how to lose weight, when you are obese. I let myself get to 228, and I was miserable. I do agree that dieting sucks. However, when I lost 40 pounds I never felt better, physically. I have gained and lost the same 15 pounds multiple times though, showing that dieting doesn’t really work for a lot of people. I think a video on how to get to a healthy weight would be so helpful!
Allina I was thinking the same.
Allina there is no such thing as getting to a healthy weight, there is health at every size! Just because someone is of a larger body size does not necessarily mean they are "obese". Everyone can be healthy at any size, and the number on the scale does not measure health. Diet culture and the social norm has told us that we have to look a certain way and it is very flawed and unrealistic. As Becca says " we need to start loving our bodies no matter what size they are!" I encourage you to read the book Healthy At Every Size by Dr. Linda Bacon!
Maria Wolfel I am merely speaking from personal experience. Of course health can look different, for different people. I was just expressing how I felt about weight loss, and the correlated health benefits I have noticed!
Allina she has a weight loss video and a video on intuitive eating. I've found those very helpful as well as watching a lot of her "what i eat in a day" videos!
this, and the rest of your nutrition 101 videos, should be shown in schools. i mean?!?!? preach it girl!!! i WISH i could've known this before i spiraled into my eating disorder years ago (im all better now though!!). ❤️
Maddie Lee just saw your comment :) I totally agree! I've recently watched loads of your videos and they have inspired me and helped me alot
Health is so simple, I have complicated it so much in the past, but time and time again I'm reminded that it really comes down to eating in moderation, eating minimally processed foods and doing activity that I love.
Annie Medosch Perfectly put!
Couldn't have explained it better!!
Healthy weight loss eating program would be a great, helpful video series! Not weight loss, per se, but optimal healthy eating to make our bodies the healthiest they can be. Recipes included!
I wish more people could hear this! When I was in high school Beyoncé was doing the master cleanse and Kim K used hydroxycut 😒. This is what my friends and I followed and thought was normal. I'm so happy that younger girls have such more information about balance and people like you to watch for good information. Such a good video!
damn becca you’re saving me from am eating disorder (I’m 15 and feeling guilty because of eating “too much” since about 2 years) i can finally learn to eat normally thank youu 💕💕
Thank you so so much for this video. I have fought my body for so long and have had multiple eating disorders as a result and I am only now starting to love and accept my body as it was meant to be. Nourishing my body and listening to it and giving what I need physically, mentally and emotionally. You are such a great inspiration and a beautiful soul. Again Thank you so much for sharing this
I WISH I COULD LIKE THIS A THOUSAND TIMES BECCA! This is exactly the message I am always trying to get across to my clients as an RD! Everyone should see this video, let’s change the game! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
How do you know if your in your happy range? My husband and I have gained a bit of weight since we got married 3 years ago. How can we lose weight, but not do drastic diets? We've been keeping a food journal to keep ourselves accountable. We had been eating a lot of crappy foods in secret, so this way we see how much food we're eating and go over it with each other at the end of the day. We're not cutting anything out, just thinking twice about that candy bar while grocery shopping. What do you think? Any tips on making lifestyle changes that we can maintain forever? We're not morbidly obese, I have about 15 lbs and he has 35. Love your videos!
Becca, you are such a breath of fresh air and are always speaking the truth. I wish 12 year old me could have heard this message all those years ago. Thank you for always putting out thoughtful and purposeful content, I appreciate you and all the hard work you put into this channel!
Brains and beauty! Videos like this are what brought me to your channel and why I trust all your recommendations! YASSSS girl.
OMG I literally almost cried seeing this video. I started watching my consumption when I was overweight, but when i was healthy I thought it wasn’t good enough. What started as a healthy patern turned into disorded eating what then spiralled out of control to a full out eating disorder (also because this obsession helped me to deal with other problems in my life). I’m in recovery right now but struggle with following my body and its cues, so this video struck a cord for me. Thank you!
Heres something that helped me, Ive been reasearching about this and the thing is food isnt the enemy we can eat what we want its just the point of view of food we all have. Why not eat the foods our bodys desire with no judgement of eating it what so ever? You want cake, Go for it. Intuitively choose what u wanna eat. One meal doesnt make u fat, We shouldnt be so dependent on numbers but how we feel.
I love the message of the video! Everything you pointed out is so important because so many people, focus too much on what they look like on the outside, that they forget what's going on inside their bodies.
Dear Becca,
This Video was really important for me when I was changing my mindset about food, dieting and Fitness. This past days my sister started dieting and she is really into this restrictive weightlooss. She is only 15 and I hink this video is perfect for her to understand the damage that she is doing to her body.
Sadly she does not speak English so I would like to know if is there any possibility that you can make it possible for me to subtitle this video!
Thank you for all the amazing content on your channel ♥️
Im so happy I found your videos here on youtube, you're truly an inspiration and I love how passionate you are about educating people on how to live a healthy LIFESTYLE ! You rock Becca, keep doing amazing things. :)
What you say is so true! I have a friend who decided to go on a diet about 8 years ago and she did manage to lose the weight and she’s really slim now... but she’s become completely obsessed with how slim she looks and she developed really bad eating disorders. Whenever we go out to eat, she will prevent herself from eating supposedly “too much” of her meal, even if she’s still hungry. It’s so sad and frustrating at the same time!
Most women in their 50s lose their youth physique due to childbearing, illnesses, or natural aging processes. I’m one year away from turning 50, and my body is changing. There is a realistic mental shift that is necessary for living a healthy lifestyle at this age. But as with any age, food is never the enemy. We are all human and face the same challenges of control of our eating. I have never believed in diets, as Becca described, nor followed diet trends. Instead, I believe that each of us must make an assessment of our own bodies and eat what fuels the body for living. Processed foods and fast foods are by far the nutrition that I avoid, if I can. Thank you Becca for this video. I agree that we are saturated with wrong information about nutrition. Is it all about money? Possibly. I hope your viewers learn about nutrition from your videos. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Totally agree with Becca's video. I got sucked in to the idea of dieting to look 'better' unfortunately i lost too much weight, and my period too, and after trying to gain weight back and get healthy, my body kinda went into survival mode because i had deprived it and i developed BED... :( it's been tough and a cycle you get stuck in and it only gets worse, so girls (or even boys) dieting can cause many food issues. Thankfully after many months i found and read a book called Brain over Binge and it has helped me to understand my situation and i'm finally starting to recover :) thanks so much for this video Becca, its a message that needs to be spread! Xx
So how do you find that healthy weight? And what do I do when doctors are telling me to lose weight? Should I intuitive eat like you have talked about before and just try to eat healthy things to nourish the body?
love love love this video! It took me a LONG time to adopt this mindset and it can still be a struggle, but i completely agree that diets do not work. great content Becca I love your videos and the message your spreading!
Yes Becca!!! So much truth! Recently I have been listening the podcast “RD Real Talk” by Heather Caplan and it is SO good. She is also an anti-diet dietician and she talks about topics like this all the time! Super helpful when all you hear about growing up is going on a diet to get skinny 🤦♀️
This is interesting, but some people actually are unhealthy and not at their happy place, then what? How do you propose they get there without a diet? I know I am larger then the weight I feel best at, how would I get there without dieting?
Emma Odren A diet is temporary. A lifestyle change is permanent, and what people need to do to get the extra weight off and not gain it back when the "diet" is over. After 15 years of disordered eating, I finally figured out that eating real, whole foods and not processed junk is the way to be healthy, not obsessing over counting calories or carbs or whatever else. I started my lifestyle change to what most would call "clean eating" at the beginning of the year and have lost 17 lbs so far without a lick of exercise. Weight loss happens in the kitchen, fitness in the gym. You can't out-exercise bad eating habits. I eat meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, some full fat dairy, and the occasional treat of a piece of dark chocolate. I don't eat foods with added sugar or anything processed 99% of the time. I also don't eat grains, but only because I'm diabetic and they spike my blood sugar. I feel better than I ever have in my life, and I know I will never go back to the way I ate before.
Such an amazing video and incredibly pertinent to the phase of my health journey I’ve been in. Brought me to tears at the end there. Thank you for your amazing message and for all of the good info and content you put out into the world :)
ABSOLUTELY LOVED the last couple of minutes so much that I wrote down word-for-word what you said as a daily reminder to myself when things get tough. Thank you so much for such an inspiring and uplifting video. I wish you all the best!
Wow such an amazing message! Becca keep making these videos because they are very helpful to so many!
I love you so much!! Your honesty is so admirable and your message is one that NEEDS to be heard. Thank you for these vids!
I would love to hear your thoughts on MCT oil. I know you did a full video on coconut oil. I started taking MCT oil recently, along with intregal collagen. I've heard they both have incredible health benefits. Would be interested to hear your take on it!
can you make a video on weight loss culture, self love and how to stay above the culture?
Love the honesty and realness! Such a great topic to talk about.
I just found your page... I'm learning so much (literally watching all your videos). Thank you, you are great!!!
Fat doesn't just "sit there". It has numerous hormonal and metabolic responsibilities. It's not dead tissue. Could you instead give us tips on how to build our metabolisms (aka: build more muscle, eat more food), or how to increase leptin levels while decreasing ghrelin levels. I really don't understand your stance here. I am all for body positivity, and decreasing body dysmorphia, but you can't honestly say that you would look at a client who is 5'3" and 250+ lbs and not at least think to recommend weight loss to better all aspects of their health. If I "listened" to my body, it would tell me to eat sugar all day long because of the dopamine release that causes. I still love all of your other videos, but if you want to go science, go full science.
You should probably watch her videos about healthy weight loss without dieting and the uses of fat before you write a comment. 😂
I absoluteluy love this!!!! I wish more people will understand that we are perfectly designed and there is no need for drastic measures If You mind what You eat and do! I agree that You should speak publicly especially with teens,it will make such a diference!
Thank you Becca!!! This was wonderful and got me a bit emotional. You put me onto Christy Harrison on Instagram and learning about ‘diet culture ‘ has helped me so much. So thank you again, I️ love all your content and love you on Instagram:)
Stay you 😘
I feel like I already know what your view of intermitted fasting is but I enjoy a video on it!
A lot people here at asking how to get to their happy weight. I think if one truly ate intuitively and honored rule #10 of intuitive eating (self-care and gentle nutrition), you’re weight will take care of itself. You are not eating intuitively if you are still thinking about weight loss. Intuitive eating is not a diet.
“Bodies are built for survival” 👌🏼so true
Great video 💟could you do one on intermittent eating, & maybe eat this not that
💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕
Awesome job Becca! You nailed it:). I totally agree with you on this point.
LOVE THIS. Seriously a role model. Keep doing you!!!!
Love your videos! ❤️ especially this one, so informational.
I wish you could tell this to my old trainer!!! She used to hound me about how many calories I ate and told me to cut out certain foods. She's not my trainer anymore (obviously) but it was just so discouraging and I ended up feeling worse about my body.
Your videos are inspiring! I really wish women especially could be in a space where we can celebrate our bodies. They do such amazing things!!
What is your lip color???
This is an awesome video. Balance is key in my life.
I appreciate how passionate you are about this topic! We need more body positivity!
You have helped me so much in my recovery process, THANK YOU!!! seriously though, you have helped save me
So true, I totally agree. I recently just has the same thoughts.
Such a helpful and inspirational video!
absolutely loved this Becca! I agree 100%!
This is so true, and I'm so over the 100000000000 diets that I've tried, and tried tried again😣
I love this 💜 you bring so much inspiration 💜
I hear what you are saying, and for many people, this is good advice. However, what about people that are over weight and need to lose weight in order to be healthy?
I got here from a Cimorelli playlist 🤨 ima head out
Same! 🤣😂
Thanks for spreading this knowledge and common sense in some way 😜🤗💗
Do you have any opinions on BMI, Waist to Height ratio, Waist to Hip ratio etc and if they are appropriate ways of checking your health (with the caveat that we don't want to overly rely on measurements!)
Love love LOVE this video! Thank you for sharing
Very true 😁
Do have any knowledge of the diet food delivery systems. Such as Jenny Craig, nutristyem etc
Is your diffuser from young living?
Love this! Also random question, where did you get your diffuser on the table behind you? 😊
Heather Lindamood I believe it's one of the Young Living diffusers.
Preach girl, PREACH 🙌🏼
I really recommend reading the foodist by Darya Pino Rose.. It is a book about weightloss but not dieting. It reminds me a lot of what you talk about. I think you would find it interesting :)
You’ve got a lot of your concepts incorrect. I would highly recommend checking out Layne Norton’s info on RUclips, Instagram, and Facebook. He has a great book “Fat Loss Forever” as well.
Would love a video on supplements vs. real food. I know someone who doesn't eat much variety or calories but thinks they can live on supplements :S
OMG YES!! PREACH IT BECCA!
Loved this!
More information on eating to increase and maintain lean muscle mass would be fantastic :)
Love your knowledge
Is there any way for people who actually need to lose weight to do so without losing muscle. Or is that just unavoidable?
ccap3211 yes there is! Eat 0.8-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight to preserve muscle. If you're really overweight then only use your lean body mass as an indicator. Do strength training along with that combined with cardio. It's really that simple. This is what I'm doing. Also figure out your body type. Are you an ectomorph, mesomorph or endomorph?
RosesareRed38 thanks thats really helpful! I find it difficult to differentiate between whether I’m an endomorph or a mesomorph that could lose a few pounds. Lol
ccap3211 it's okay 🙂 so if you're a mesomorph you have bigger shoulders and smaller hips. If you're an endomorph you have smaller shoulders and wider hips, so you're more curvy. Think of Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez and scarlet johansen as endomorphs and Hally Berry, Jennifer garner, kate winslet as mesomorphs. You can also be a combination of both. How well do you handle carbs?
Ashley Jongepier that's true to an extent but some body types (mesomorphs) preserve muscle mass much better than the other types. Endomorphs need more cardio to burn the fat and a lower carb diet. Ectomorphs actually don't do well will calorie deficits so should stick to smaller ones if at all. We all lose fat differently.
you will loss a bit of muscle mass, it is unavoidable when losing weight. However, you can minimize it by doing a couple things. Eat enough protein, don't have too large of a deficit, and make sure you are lifting weights.
Love this video! ☺️
You are so right!!
Love this video -- thank you!!!!!!!!!
this made me so happy!!!
this is amazing, so so true
I LOVE THIS!!!
Great Video
❤️❤️❤️ love this!
Amen sista!!
lmao that outro is so loud; but good stuff. Now I got to build more muscle so I can eat more :)
Preach!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Can you talk a bit more about health at every size? I feel like even within intuitive eating, there's still a persistent notion that THIS is REALLY what will help you get (insert diet culture term for a desirable body here).
The bible says our bodies are the temple of God. They literally house God's spirit. How sacred does that makes our bodies? Very
I meant you
I disagree that 95% of diets fail. Most succeed in losing weight. The failure comes in maintaining weight loss.
Yesss! 💗💗💗🙌🏼👏🏼
I am confused about what you’re trying to get across. If you follow a SENSIBLE eating plan to lose weight why won’t it work?
Are toy saying you cannot lose weight ever?
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
THEN HOW TF DID I LOSE 30 POUNDS OVER A DIETTTTTTTTTTT
You are beautiful
It's a real shame to hear this kind of misinformation, especially coming from a registered dietician. The human body is very complex at the minor level, but at the gross level, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will store the energy as adipose or muscle and gain weight. If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. Weight loss is not EASY, but it is SIMPLE. Saying that 95% of diets fail is incredibly misleading - 95% of PEOPLE fail, because it's hard! People have low willpower, people underestimate how much they eat, people give up. But if ANY person, barring extreme medical conditions, consumes fewer calories than they burn, they WILL lose weight. You think your message is empowering but it's the complete opposite. It's defeatist and you are telling people there is no point in attempting a healthier lifestyle because they are destined to fail, and I think it's awful. To anyone reading this looking to lose weight: you CAN do it, it IS possible, do not believe this bullshit about 'set points' and whatever else garbage people are spreading on the internet to make weight loss seem unattainable.
Addressing a few incorrect/misinformed points in this video:
- Becca's comment about muscle breakdown is ill-informed. If you are overweight and cut calories, you will burn fat predominately. You will lose a slight amount of muscle along with the fat, but if you have adequate protein intake and engage in exercise you will be able to preserve muscle just fine. It's true that muscle mass raises metabolism, but it's only a slight effect. Losing extra fat is far more beneficial for your health than preserving a tiny bit of muscle mass you would lose along with the fat.
- Your weight loss WILL level off after a while of reducing calories, because your body no longer requires as many calories to function, because you will be smaller! Recalculate as you may need to be eating less calories. Here is a calculator you can use to figure out how many calories you burn each day on average: tdeecalculator.net/
If trying to lose weight, reduce the calories you consume by 500 under that number for an average weight loss of 1lb/week.
Good luck to anyone wanting to lose weight for their health! I wish you health and happiness ❤
I think you missed one of the big messages of this video in that "diet culture" is toxic and made society obsessed about fitting a certain mold of what healthy "should be" and going to extreme starvation and stupid tactics to lose weight and look like some cookie cutter celebrity.
Yeah, that's completely fair enough, and I do agree with that. The point I was making is just that that's not necessary for healthy weight loss, and it's perfectly achievable without starvation diets or any crazy or dangerous stuff. I guess I just think it's irresponsible to be telling people essentially that weight loss is dangerous or impossible when we're deep in an obesity epidemic.
This is what I was looking for. Thank you. I think Becca's intentions are good, but I would disagree with some of her points. I would further add that there has been some research to support that people can readjust their "set point". This is achievable by lowering your weight slowly, and maintaining that lower weight before trying to lose more. This is just one body of research, however. Everyone is different.
I agree that this video could be a little more detailed, but having watched a lot of her videos I know that she is comparing "diets" to a lifestyle change. This video isn't about weight loss, it's about diets. (She does have a video on weight loss.) When she talks about diets she talks about doing ketosis or going vegan or paleo strictly for weight loss or body shape manipulation. She's talking about cutting things out and being restrictive. Obviously if someone is overweight, they need to lose some weight for health reasons (I've been there). I don't think shes saying they shouldn't lose weight. She's saying don't go on a "diet." I know for a fact she would advocate for realistic, maintainable lifestyle changes. It's just temporary diet rules vs. lifelong lifestyle changes. And I know she didn't say it in this video, but that's what she means.
I like your teeth!
