The drive to eat is strong when you are attempting to lose weight because your body is reacting to the weight loss as though you are going through an illness or famine. When you get that OMG! I must eat feeling, that feeling I know all too well, just remind yourself that it's your bodies way of helping you survive an illness or famine. You just need to get over that hump. And it will hit many times a day so be prepared.
it's better to buy block cheese only because bagged pre-shredded contains a powder that keeps it from clumping. Shredding your own cheese taste better.
Aldi is the business! What's wrong with them?! Where else are you gonna find fresh, good quality produce at such lovable low prices? And lots of other grocery goodies, too!
Rarely do I comment on RUclips videos. I just take what I came there for and leave out as soon as I can. I am absolutely fascinated by you... and very shocked that I didn't find you sooner. Maybe that just means I was never really serious about losing weight... just looking for a quick fix. YOU ARE AMAZING! You are such a skilled educator. You break things down sooooo well, you make it fun, and you know the mindset of someone trying to lose weight (which is super important)! OMG! The grocery list app, helping me figure out how to better shop better, save money, the in season veggies and fruits pic, walking us up and down the grocery food aisles.... THIS IS GOLD! I know I've only just met you... but I think I LOVE YOU! Where have you been all my life! Thank you for being a resource for those that want to do better, but genuinely don't know how. YOU ROCK!
I'd also add going to Doller Tree for frozen veggies or fruits. the thing I like alot is that there are some frozen veggies that comes in the pouch that you steam in the microwave. it's an excellent no fuss option. for the frozen fruit I use that with plain yogurt and almond milk to make a quick smoothie. sometimes I use a protein powder if I'm gonna work out.
Awesome tips! During my weightloss journey, I wouldn't bring money/credit cards to work with me. So I basically had no choice not to run to the vending machines and I ate what I had from home and saved money and calories! :)
Here is a recipe I like that you may want to try. Snow peas, slivered almonds, olive oil, and sea salt. Rinse snow peas and cut tips on ends off. In a pan pour in a little olive oil. Turn heat to med. Add snow peas and cook until most have changed color (yellow green). Then add slivered almonds for 2 minutes stirring constantly. You want the almonds to brown but not burn. Grind a little sea salt over it and serve immediately. REALLY GOOD and fast to make.
Check out the app "Flipp" you can actually clip all your coupons and see all the sale papers in your area in the app you can also make your grocery list in the app find something on sale in the paper in the app it will circle it for you and add it to your grocery list pretty cool 😎
I love the realness of her life tales and strength it has given her to want to share her story with others, thanks for it all,may GOD continue to bless you and be with you.
losing weight can be challenging at times but it takes alot of will power and a really great support system as well. this video is so helpful and informative thank you
I am so glad I found you!!! I am on a weight loss journey and now you have shown me that I can buy healthier choices for me and my family... THANK YOU😀😀
This video is brilliant! I'm about to FINALLY start my weight loss journey and I'm super excited. I can't wait to start meal prepping. Thank you for these tips!
The website you gave about the fruits and veggies is great! There is so much information on there! Thank you. Please keep doing these types of videos as well as meal prep for weight loss on a budget. Thank you!
I thought I was the only one who loves those baby food pouches. I babysat one time and tasted a little bit of it and it was low key so good. Now I go to the baby food pouch section in Wal-Mart pretending I have a kid (which I don't) and stock up on those food pouches. They're great for on-the-go and you can get in some really good fruits and vegetables.
Thanks for this video!!!! I started watching you July 2016 ( after I gave birth to my 2nd baby) to learn what foods to eat and buy for a healthier lifestyle. I have to say these videos are so motivational and so real !!! I absolutely love your keeping the confidence series I play them every morning!!!! :)
I read labels because sometimes the generic and non generic comes from the same place. And when it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, I try to buy those that are grown within my state so that I'm not paying extra money for transport. And farmers markets are good as well. Alot of the vendors let u sample their products. The honey I buy, comes from an actual bee keeper.
I am glad I am not the only adult who uses baby food! I use baby food for topping yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes and waffles. It is also good when bananas aren't ripe to use in recipes that require mashed banana.
I've been searching for some videos on how to lose weight and keep it off. so far, yours has been the most realistic. I'm a meat lover and I love the way you incorporate meat into your meals. I've been following you since October 29, 2017 and so far I've lost 7 lbs. I'm so done with dieting. I want this to be a lifestyle change for me. I just want to thank you so much for your videos on healthy eating, hair, skin, and ects. You look GREAT!!!
I love this! I started grocery pick up so I don't waste money in the store on things I don't need. You can plan your food for the week and just pull in to the parking spot at the grocery store.
Hey could you do a video on starter exercises/workouts you did to kick start your weight loss journey? Don't know if you have done a video on that yet but would be awesome if you could share :) The eating i think i've got down cus i'm cheap lol just need to be a bit more active cuz i'm LAZY.
Girl I am nodding my head as if you are talking to me. Lol I absolutely love this video. Very informative. Thank you thank you thank you ! I watch over 20 videos or more a day. All related with cooking , healthy none healthy but I havnt seen one like yours.
Pathological Buyer agreed! Also has great organic produce. I purchase the large bags of kale to make my daily smoothies and their large container of mixed greens for my salads.
See if you have a winco where you are! You can get MAD olive oil for like $7, I'm talking like a gallon. Also any rice you might eat. They gave REALLY cheap good groceries. I get everything except meat from there.
My problem is budget and i don't know how to eat healthy. I have done away with pop and just drink water and no more fast food or junk after that i just don't know.
I just love you videos! I have been watching them all evening so I subscribed. They are always so upbeat and give such great information. I signed up for the Love With Food Box, thanks for passing along that 40% off.
Great information. .. wow baby food pouches interesting. . may have to try that..lol u r so funny I love ut... I heard yaaaa ..tfs 😍😍😍 thanks for putting the list innthe description box
You are amazing! Thanks so much. This is really helping me stay better focused. I listen to you everyday for insight and much encouragement!! Thanks for being a great teacher.
you are amazing and I love your videos I love your confidence and beauty it's like every time I feel down about something you have a video to help me realize that I'm not the only one thank you
Dillions/Krogers also has an app where you can get coupons and use them with paper coupons. I miss it! There's HEB here and they have pretty good sales
that Kroger brand peanut butter is very good. I live very close to a farmer's market so, fresh produce from all around the world is extremely accessible and inexpensive. You have given some great tips. I just started trying food prep. For anyone who wants to do it, I find it less overwhelming to break it up. I do not cook and prep on the same days and when I do cook it is for 3 days at a time. I also find breakfast sandwiches allow me to spend more leisure time in the mornings instead of constantly running to get ready for work. It has mad all the difference in the world. I just discovered you and now I am a subscriber. Thank you for all the tips because I have over 100 pounds I want to loose to feel like my outside matches my inside. You are incredible. I just wanted to take a little time to just give you some flowers of appreciation and say Thank You.
I am SO sad Florida doesn't have Kroger!!!! UGH I miss them!!!! I had the couponing and fuel points down to an art! Forget Publix! #teamkroger lol Loving this video! Thanks sis!
Never heard of Aldi! Must be an east coast thing. To help with choosing organics check out the Clean 15/Dirty Dozen. These lists tell you which foods are low/high with pesticides. Doesn't address gmos though.
Thanks for the video! It will help me stay on track and keep my coins! Oh by the way I found a grocery list app on my Android. FYI, for Android users go to Applications under the play store, under apps and games, then type shopping list and a bunch of them will come up. I hope this helps someone!
How can I eat healthy? I'm in college and I live in a dorm room so I don't have the convenience of cooking on a stove. All I have is a mini fridge and a microwave and I also have a meal plan so I can eat at the cafe. I try to have healthy snacks in my room, but how can I choose healthy choices at the cafe?
Any tips for keeping off weight? I was 320 then down to 298 but I gained most of my weight back so now I'm 310. I want to eat healthy all the time. watching your videos I'm determined to lose weight on a budget.
I wanted to come by and tell you that I love your healthy eating tips. There are a few things I don't each that I have been looking for substitution for. Do you know where I can search to find substitution items?
Dr. Nina: Do you ever cook with tofu? I once thought I could not master it but now my tofu scramble with mushrooms rivals any egg scramble. Protein without the guilt!
i lost 80lbs before. my low thyroud made me gain it back plus more. i give up on losing weight. i just eat what i want. my back hurts i cannot exercise.
if anyone can pleeease tell me where i can buy the colorful pants she’s wearing in the “after” picture in the thumbnail that would be really appreciated 🥺
losing weight is a serious mind game. food is such an addicition. all I can do is keep trying.
seriouslylane so true I'm trying to lose weight but I just feel I'm always wanting to eat.
The drive to eat is strong when you are attempting to lose weight because your body is reacting to the weight loss as though you are going through an illness or famine. When you get that OMG! I must eat feeling, that feeling I know all too well, just remind yourself that it's your bodies way of helping you survive an illness or famine. You just need to get over that hump. And it will hit many times a day so be prepared.
You talk to much
How is it now? It is a mental struggle for real. I keep falling back into my addiction
it's better to buy block cheese only because bagged pre-shredded contains a powder that keeps it from clumping. Shredding your own cheese taste better.
didnt know that
I love Aldi's. All my friends make fun of me for shopping there but my pockets sure like it.
April Felton Girl, YES!
April Felton Aldi's is the bomb. people laughed at me too.
April Felton aldis and price rite.
yes! They recently opened one up close to my job, so now I can pick up things there without having to rush across town before they close.
Aldi is the business! What's wrong with them?! Where else are you gonna find fresh, good quality produce at such lovable low prices? And lots of other grocery goodies, too!

Yes she does Rock!!!
Amazing
Yes!!! Couponing and store cards. $$$. I have two kids and a husband. Hubby lost 30lbs in 2016. Now it's my turn. 💪✌
I'd also add going to Doller Tree for frozen veggies or fruits. the thing I like alot is that there are some frozen veggies that comes in the pouch that you steam in the microwave. it's an excellent no fuss option. for the frozen fruit I use that with plain yogurt and almond milk to make a quick smoothie. sometimes I use a protein powder if I'm gonna work out.
Thanks!
Now they’re $3 😢
I'm a college student and these tips are life saving!
Thank you so much!!!!!!
No problem!!!
Awesome tips! During my weightloss journey, I wouldn't bring money/credit cards to work with me. So I basically had no choice not to run to the vending machines and I ate what I had from home and saved money and calories! :)
Great idea!
This is a smart idea!! ❤
Also, to people in some parts of Washington and Oregon:
Grocery Outlet Bargain Market sells discounted organic products, you should check it out!
Cool!

Yes!!! I saw that Kroger now has this option!!!

It gets crazy cheap here!
Dillions/Krogers also has an app where you can get coupons and use them with paper coupons. I miss it! There's HEB here and they have pretty good sales
What’s the difference in Organic and Non organic fruits and veggies ? Organic is healthier?
This video was sooooo helpful putting together a healthy grocery list
This video came at the right time, thank you!
Glad it can help!

Thanks for the video. Any recommendations for spaghetti sauce? I would like to use some on my zucchini spirals.
I love the organic kinds. Anything lower in sugar. So check to make sure it's under about 5-10 grams per serving.
BeautifulBrwnBabyDol thank you
Can u do a video on how to eat healthy when ur a teen who doesn't have money to do grocery shopping.
