The Weight Loss Video I Never Thought I’d Make (Sustainable Nutrition Tips)

My trigger food was candy. My mother never let us have sweets growing up. With my own children, I place a bowl of candy on the counter. At first, they gobbled it down because they're kids. Now they seldom even look at it. They don't overindulge in sugary snacks or foods because I let them eat it. They're kids!! My children are healthy and don't have any food insecurities. 😊

Tip 7 works tremendously. I live in a studio and I have a habit of keeping my galon of water in the center of my room bc I used to keep forgetting to drink water. I also do this with bananas so I won’t reach for a cookie or buy cake online if I’m craving for something sweet and creamy in general

For me it’s chocolate!!! I can’t live without sugar, it seems. I finally tried a chocolate (and other sugary flavors) of a no sugar high protein shake. It’s live a milkshake to me (well, almost lol) It works and doesn’t make me want to snack again one hour later! 🥰

Is the Whole30 worth it?

I wish I would have heard your flick first. The first time I heard about clean eating, I cried for four days. Due to hearing that I need to cut proceed foods

I think the biggest reason that exercise can contribute to weight loss is that when we feel better, have more energy, and more mental alertness (which working out can do), we can more easily make better food choices. Also working out has helped me shift my view of food as fuel to help me get stronger to progress in my workouts.

I do the fridge idea !!!! Chips allll the way in the back so much fruit in the front. I don’t even eat them but I get hungry and it’s right there

I found an app called See How You Eat. I use it to take time stamped photos of everything I eat in a day, so at a glance I can see if I’m eating well or what I might need to change.

Why is cereal such a common trigger food? Hahaha, I guess it's that good. I can't relate though, mine is definitely potato chips

This is, honestly, one of the best videos anyone has made on health and weight loss. Thank you Abbey! Brilliant.

This is especially good for women. All of the women in the west, myself included, have been told their whole life to eat less and be thinner. We have put way to much pressure on ourselves to be perfect when none of us are.

My goal is to demonstrate to my kids how to have a healthy relationship with food and be healthy for life!

Thank you for such a life giving video!

Blessings from the west in the U.S.

When I was young to lose weight I’d stop eating out as much, eat more Whole Foods, drink less & walk 30 minutes a day. I ate vegetarian. When I turned 40 my job became a 16 hour day job & had little control over my diet. So when I had down time I would try to go back to my old ways of losing weight with less success. I found the 17 Day Diet book on clearance at a closing Hastings store & began to follow each phase carefully not skipping ahead, grocery shopping & prepping my meals so when I went to work I had a plan. My Protein sources were soy mainly. The next time I did the diet my protein sources were fish & shell fish & most recently I added all Protein. What I like is there are 4 cycles so you add in more food. In each cycle & you lose weight pretty quickly the first phase which is motivating. This recent time I didn’t just eat chicken or fish on the first phase & I did eat a small healthy version of desert same evenings like chocolate covered frozen bananas or chocolate covered Açaí sorbet which I personally love anyway. I usually maintain my weight love for many years. For example I’m in my 50s now . In general keeping junk food out of my house, cooking at home & only drinking water plus cutting calories with some sugar free fat free foods, lower calorie options like bread with 45 calories over 60 or more & eating more fresh foods & protein in any form. In my 50s I’m focusing on building muscle too. In my opinion eating mindfully & with purpose helps me lose & keep weight off. Once I stop doing this the pounds come back on.

I am a 5’5 foot woman & have weighed between 125-145 not pregnant for most of my adult life. At 145 I feel Pregnant. Because I gain all my weight in my tummy & back of the arms I can tell when I’ve gained weight. I definitely can go between conscious eating & unconscious eating. I often think of Siddartha the story about the Original Buddha seeking enlightenment & peace who practiced Austerity, then gluttony before finding the middle way, moderation as the key to Happiness.

Oh Abby, girlie! I’m new to your channel and this video is epic! Every one of these items is revelatory, thanks so much. I’m dealing with some scary health issues (cancer) and I’ve asked my doctors so many times for eating advice. The answer is always, “well try to eat healthy and maybe lose some weight, but it probably won’t make a difference with the disease. WTF? How is that even remotely helpful? I so appreciate the concrete, evidence-based advice here. ❤❤❤❤

Moderation is key

My issue is.. I’ll acknowledge that I’m no longer hungry while eating.. but continue to eat because the food tastes good. And then, I’ll eat more than I should but still want something sweet after on top of it even when full.

I dont know how to feel about the beginning of this video. The sience behind weightloss is a caloric deficit. I think nutritionists should speak more about this transparently, because no matter how good the „support and the tips“ are, when you eat over your calories you will gain weight. And people belive bs like this and think they have bad eating habtis or something is wrong with them.

I agree meal prep is too repetitious for me. I do grill chicken

So good 👍

Fantastic information on recovery from binge eating or any eating difficulties.
