I’m an intense snacker so I make a nibble plate. It’s a small plate where I place blueberries, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers slices, banana slices, and then sometimes some light weight crackers with cream cheese or goat cheese that I have to spread on to the cracker each time I wanna take a bite of one. This allows me to snack on a combo of different nutritious things and is aesthetically pleasing to look at. Currently making one now to eat while I play video games with my friends. It’s better to mindlessly munch on something nutrient dense rather than potato chips.

Tbh while this is true, statements like these shouldn't be promoted. There is a difference being overweight due to an unhealthy diet and no exercise and weight gain due to other factors like diseases, medication and genetics. For example, my father's side of family is on the overweight scale, while my mom's family is more lean and active and as a mixup I gain weight quite easily and my metabolism is relatively slow. While it is important to look at general trends in the society, it is also important to take into account the "outliers".

Another thing that I only recently learned that ALWAYS made me feel so awful is the fact that for women, weight changes throughout your cycle. You will be heavier towards your period and then lose the weight for many reasons after. But because that isn't taught as common knowledge, I thought I was failing. Don't be afraid to let yourself rest during this time!

Heavy training leads to a cortisol spike the new day(s). A cortisol leads to water retention. So it's normal to feel puffier after a particularly tough day of exercise.
@LinkEX
Ай бұрын
There's also the concept of adapting your training regimen to your menstrual cycle. For instance, during your period you might crave sugar, but along with that your body gets better metabolizing carbohydrates, so carb loading before a workout should provide you with more energy than usual. And during that phase, training in general, but particularly aerobic exercise during your period can also help against cramps and back pain due to the endorphin release. Conversely, when you are ovulating, there is more testosterone in your system, so that period is the best for building muscle.

"Because the way I felt about the way I looked prevented me from enjoying my life as a child" THIS IS TOO REAL. like people often just tell you to not just care about how you look. but looks play a huge role in your life and if you look good, YOU FEEL GOOD. being ugly does not "build character" it just makes you even more miserable which destroys your character. Becoming good looking actually helps you build your character.

No. Becoming comfortable in your body builds character. Being able to creatively express through your body builds character. Good looking is external validation seeking, not really based in true self esteem and self connection. It's completely fine to want to look good amd to look, however, it doest lead to self steem in itself. Looking good cN be taken away by accidents, by changing the environment, by a change of the beauty standards..."Looking good" is controlled by the external and it doesn't build anything

@@Pieza_De_QuesoYou can dress up an ugly person all you want, but they’re still ugly. Character might be there, but ugliness overshadows everything. When you’re beautiful, your character shines more naturally because everything’s more harmonious. Trying to be 'creative' with someone unattractive often feels off. so it is impossible to be fully comfortable if you don’t like what you see. Wanting to look good isn’t always about seeking validation. Some of us just want to feel good about ourselves, and that’s not a mental disorder like some mfs like to say. We want to wake up confident, knowing we look damn good. That’s self-esteem. Self esteem not some forced 'self-acceptance' bullshit where you pretend you are okay with what you hate. Not everything is tied to beauty standards, we have personal preferences on how we want to look. Self-esteem and appearance are deeply connected, and confidence alone doesn’t fix a lack of good looks. Yes, looks change, but so do personalities. Everything fucking changes over time. It’s true that beauty can be taken away by environmental circumstances, but honestly, if being ugly was my starting point, I’d rather have acid thrown on my face than be ugly for the rest of my life.

Two things that I would personally add; I’m personally a big fan of intermittent fasting because it pointed out to me how much I was snacking in the evenings because I was bored or just for the sake of it, but having an eating window really helped me be more mindful of when/why/how I’m eating! Obviously if out with friends or a one off it’s not a big deal to eat outside your window, but on a general day to day routine I’ve found it really helpful! Another thing I’d say is to always keep body types in mind when focusing on weight loss and to stay realistic. A good phrase I heard for it recently was to remember that a Labrador isn’t supposed to look like a Greyhound; ideal fitness and health looks different on everyone depending on your body’s structure and it’s important to hold yourself to your own standard rather than someone’s else’s definition of beauty!

As I lose the weight, I’ve noticed I’m regarded more again and people hold open doors for me. I also think it’s a vibe thing, bc I stayed bubbly and friendly even overweight, but it was hard to see people initially treat me like I was less and then to act as if I didn’t even notice it

I feel like we are face-to-face and you are talking to me about your life. Thank you for that. I am also so glad that you touched on the mental aspect of the process and how your feelings about yourself and the actual weight loss affects those around you. Gut health is SO IMPORTANT, and most people never touch on that. Everyone in our society pushes exercise so much, and like you said, while it is important, exercise and diet are nowhere near the same. I have struggled with my weight for about 5 years now. I recently realized that most of my issue was my mental health and my guy health. I never saw results when I was exercising consistently. Just this year, I have focused more on how I feel and what I eat, and NOW I am seeing lasting results. SO thankful for this video and love your channel!

I used to be obsessed with corn chips and chocolate chips. I had a really badly inflamed gut, was constantly craving sugar and didn’t understand how to not want these foods. My whole life when I was hungry I grew up eating snacks like this. Also this stemmed from being a vegetarian when I was younger as that is how our family ate. As I got older when I started eating meat I began to do different research on diets. Fast forward years later, I have literally figured out how to finally Lose all the excess weight, not punish myself, eat freely- and that is because I’ve adopted a keto lifestyle. I make all my food at home. They also have keto bread now so I can even eat sandwiches that fill me up because they are full of fiber. I started focusing on my protein and fiber intake and carbs last. If I go out somewhere and want to eat something with carbs I no longer punish myself for it, but between eating this way, taking supplements to balance my hormones and healing my gut with colostrum I am no longer bloated, use the restroom every day, and am continuing to see the scale drop. I have lost 15 pounds in just a few months.

I wanna hop on this comment and say that keto is not for everyone BUT a lot of people will experience the same benefits on a high protein diet without going full keto! I eat high protein and try minimise the amount of sugary or quick-carbs I eat (unless I'm having a diverticulitis flare up, then I will eat chicken and mash potatoes while my body settles, I think quick carbs are great for illness as long as you aren't stressing your body out with too much sugar :) ). This has completely stopped my hypoglycemic episodes, I don't crave sugar anymore and I can eat it in moderation. I personally have a higher-fibre diet because of my digestive issues. Chia seeds, nuts, lots of veggies (raw, when I'm having a good time with my tum!) and lots and lots of fruits with skin on. I have kept off 80lbs, however this was not the diet I lost it with, this is just the diet I've felt has made me feel more energised and less inflamed + maintained my weight really well. I still eat honey daily, I still have potatoes with dinner, I still will eat a slice of toast in the day if I'm using it as my carb for lunch. I just make sure all of my meals have 20g~ protein give or take, with a protein-y snack alongside fruit in the day. It can go a long way :) My protein sources are: protein powder, cottage cheese, milk, protein snacks, nuts and seeds, lean or fatty fish, chicken. :)) I personally avoid red meat as much as I can as whilst I'm not lactose intolerant, somehow red meat is my biggest issue when it comes to digestion. The other thing I'd say is don't fear fat!! It's so good for you in moderation when you're eating it from the right sources. :)

The part about trauma and medications!! I went through something traumatic a few years ago and fell into a bad depression after. I started taking antidepressants and over the course of a year and a half gained over 40 lbs. I used to never have a problem with maintaining a healthy weight no matter how much I ate but suddenly my clothes didn’t fit. Part of my journey that has helped both my physical and mental health is practicing mindfulness and working on being more aware of my feelings and what I’m doing. I struggle with dissociation a lot and that can lead to days or weeks of mindlessness. It wasn’t until I looked in the mirror and actually processed what I saw that I could see how different I was and how far from myself I had gotten. I’ve been (safely) off my medications since January and focusing on making intentional healthy decisions every day since. I’ve lost over 20 lbs since then, but have another 20 to go before I can achieve my goal! I don’t know who needs to hear this, but although it’s important to have grace for yourself on the hardest days, at the same time nobody can hold you accountable except for you. It can be easy to blame yourself, others, or your life circumstances when you’re depressed, but how often do you hold yourself accountable? I think the most life changing thing that happened to me was realizing that I and I alone have the power to change my life. And that although I have people who love me, nobody can love me into changing unless I do the hard work of loving myself

I looove that balanced approach! ❤️ I think that it could be great to also talk about shame and how to release it through somatic work. I have been feeling also powerless sometimes around my weight because i am trying to heal also from a chronic illness making it extra tiring to cook or workout. So I would love to see any small daily tips to keep it simple and balanced. It helped me to also not feel like if am currently unable to workout very much, it doesn’t mean I cannot lose the weight. ❤💪🏻

Their are actual benefits to fasting. It's been proven that humans don't need to eat a lot. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day was a slogan to slang cornflakes. And if ever in doubt of a study on food, always see who funded the study it will tell you everything you need to know before reading it.

7:54 My personal experience with portion control is basically calorie counting. I spent a few years being very precise with my tracking and this helped me to learn to estimate how many calories certain foods have. While this method can be disordered for some, for me it helped to give some peace of mind that my meals are sufficient and eventually I learned the approximate amount of calories that I should eat at a time. So even if I'm not tracking these days, I no longer outrageously overeat.

As an adult, I finally recovered from my >10 year eating disorder of binge restrict and purge (at less regular very low points in my life) cycle by deciding i would just allow myself to eat what i wanted. There was a switch in my brain that went off and realised that after all this time i was never able to maintain thinness anyway and that food was taking too much of my mental space and limiting my life success. After a alot of experience and self reflection I suspected that if i stopped guiting/shaming myself things would get better. & when i was truly genuinely accepting this for myself, allowing myself to eat whatever i desired and then observing the shame that would start to creep in and denying it to have a hold over me, i found that i no longer wanted to eat the emotional crutch foods anyore. I also looked at photos of plus size models who really looked great to change my mindset. It turned out that truly the whole cycle was driven by shame. Without the shame whilst bingeing, i could actually experience what was going on while i was eating the food. & i found it was too much too sweet not actually enjoyable at all. Of course i initially gained weight while doing this but once i no longer wanted to binge it balanced out and i have been a healthy weight since. I know this sounds absurd and unreal, i remember my best friend who has a healthy relationship with food worrying that i might be making myself sick and saying "are you sure this is a good idea" and i had to give her an extensive talk about how important my mindset was in that moment and to not contribute in any way to creeping shame. I'm not telling anyone to do this, the point of my story is that eating disorders are very individual and the cause can be v differentn from person to person. Mine was psychological, which is the hardest to know how to resolve, and psychological issues that are at the root of an eating disorder can differ in themselves. Maybe some people just need to learn portion sizes and the importance of vegetables. Maybe it takes years of failing to diet to develop this deep nuanced understanding of self. But I hope someone will read this and think carefully about their personal situation, which might be very different to mine. At least realise it is so important to know yourself, and not to be too influenced by others explanation of how to lose weight etc.

I have been struggling since I was 10/11 years old with my weight. When I was even younger I was very overweight and my mom used to say things like ''U shouldn't eat this much give it to ur sister'' and she kept making me feel bad about my weight. At that time I didn't care but when I was 10 I started getting upset when my mom said those things, she also kept track of our weight and she used to put the notes with our weight on the fridge so every time I went in the kitchen I felt more and more insecure. I tried many team sports but I didn't like any because of my social anxiety, it made it hard to make friends, so I always felt left out. When I was 11 I started to grow fast making it seem like I had lost weight but I still felt fat. Now I'm 12 and I'm not overweight but I feel ugly and fat because I keep comparing my weight to my sister who is much shorter and thinner than me. Also, the girls in my class are chubbier than me and get bullied and sometimes I feel like I am the same as them (no hate to them, they are very beautiful girls). Now I am exercising at home and trying to eat less.

I'm really sorry. You are just a baby and you are at an age where eating well is important. Some parents don't know how much their words hurt their kids. I'm sure you are beautiful, honestly adults need to remember that everyone develops differently and 99% of teenagers and kids go through awkward developmental stages so we can NOT say there is a certain way we can expect kids to look. Kids all look different. Also, keep in mind that teenagers get very hungry because they are growing fast all the time. Make sure you eat vegetables and eat well, get exercise, and don't start obsessing over food. The only thing that will make kids overweight is eating fast food regularly and eating junk food like sweets every day. Make sure you eat well - that way you will be able to develop properly hormonally so your adulthood will be much healthier.

I have the opposite story. I was a normal weight all of a sudden rather than being very skinny and my parents freaked out. I was not getting bullied by anyone at school for being overweight, because I wasn't. Instead my parents instilled a toxic relationship with food for just being average weight. I would eat nothing but boiled meat or veggies, never eat with family or friends, starve myself... All at 12 and up. And all I got was encouragement from my parents as if this was normal. I wouldn't eat most of the day in high school and my parents were so proud I was so skinny. It was neither a healthy nor maintenable weight for my frame!!! I ended up forever yo-yo dieting and going to cycles of over doing it (too little food, 1-3hr gym session daily) to binging. And I wasn't even overweight to begin with!!! I have fucked up my body and my health for so many years before I dealt with the mental damage from parents too keen for me to lose weight. It's not healthy to obsess over how your child looks at 11,12,13! Lead by example, have healthy food available, but do not make food the enemy nor focus so hard on a developing body or you will give people long lasting mental damage after you do that shit at 11-14... They're too young and impressionable to have adults in their life hyper focus on weight and clean eating.

thanks for sharing. i experienced a similar mindset from parents, even experienced physical abuse because i was rebelling overtly pretending i would eat what i want (but then i would starve, purge and exercise in secret because every kid wants parental acceptance).

So true. I weighed myself every few days and in the last month didn't see the scale moving much. I thought I stalled. But when I went to log and see rhe average weight in the last month, I actually lost nearly 2kg 😱 thing is we tend to want too much to fast and our minds hang on to the negative ie. Everytime the number seems to creep up a little bit instead of zooming out and see the overall trend. This is why weight-loss ia a mental battle as much as a physical one.

Thank you for making this video. U asked for my experience so yea ! This video is SOOO relatable, I started dieting at 14 years old after finding out about Kpop. I was over weight and not good looking so I worked really hard to lose weight until… 8 years later, I realized I was so obsessed with my weight and diet that it’s hard for me to enjoy food without thinking I’ll be over 100 pounds. I am underweight and when I hit my 20s , my skin glow down ! Gained weight, weak nails, hair loss. That’s even I eat healthy! It was simply not eating enough and I have lack of energy. I had to take vitamin supplements and so far it has helped me a lot! But now I am trying to normalize that I am not in my teen body anymore that I am turning to an adult. But yea !

Rather than a failure, I started to take pride that I was still sticking in the same range for so long.
