    1. not fast, or sudden change. takes months to a year and half
    2. consistency is key- slow changes
    3. cut alcohol
    4. cut dairy and red meat (caused bloating)
    5. did not cut carbs or sugar
    7. need to be active to build muscle
    8. find what u love to do to be active
    9. hot pilates
    10. learned to listen to ur body- be patient
    11. recognize when to eat, when ur body is hungry
    12. figure out what u like to eat and is healthy
    13. when u have a craving, satisfy it- share ur desserts!
    14. at the end of the day, it’s what YOUR body needs and likes and wants! good luck :)

No specific dietary rules, you kept it to this is what worked for ME , you spoke about your mindset (VERY IMPORTANT) , and the key of slow change to create lifestyle change no "quick fix" . Love it , great way to share your story but not try to make false claim as end all be alls to weight loss.

    • @ggmash190
      @ggmash190 Před 4 lety +11

      Sara Louise V If you’re eating a well balanced vegan diet with the correct supplements if you need them then no. If you’re lacking in vitamin B12, something which both vegetarians and vegans are at risk of, then you may suffer from symptoms which range from memory loss and fatigue. Nuts are great in any diet but are quite calorific as well as grains such as couscous and rice if not eaten in moderation, some fruits and root veg can cause weight gain when eaten in large amounts per day. Maybe check how much in calories you are eating per day by using a calorie counting app or reading food labels for a rough idea of calories per meals and make sure you are in a caloric deficit suitable for your height, activity level and weight if your goal is to lose weight :)

      @@saralouisev3436 what gg Mash said is pretty spot on. However, gaining and losing weight comes down to often times to being in a calorie deficit, balance, or excess. Using simple apps such as Myfitnessplan can be very useful in tracking your consumption. People also tend to inaccurately measure how much they are consuming ( tablespoon, cups etc). So get a good idea of how much 2 tablespoons of peanut butter is instead of guessing. Once you have a good idea than you can eyeball it easier. This is just general guide and a way to help people reign in their possible issue they do not realize they are making. It does not by any means mean you have to track your calories or macronutrients for a long period of time or forever in order to be healthy or lose weight if that is your goal. Just use the app while finding what a daily amount of food of x amount of calories looks like for you and once you feel comfortable figuring out how much food in a day works for you and satisfies your hunger .

    I started my 'fitness journey' around 2 years ago and I'm super happy with my body now. I know what works for me but OH MY GOD it took so long to find that out. I hate running, everytime I would try to run I would get the worst cramps. I thought I had to run to be fit. To this day, even though I am fit, I still feel so shit when I see runners bc they make me feel like I'm not good enough or not putting enough effort in. So for anyone who needs to hear this (including myself): you're body is unique, what works for others may not work for you. Find what you enjoy, don't compare your process with others and don't be afraid to not follow the mainstream

Social media needs more real and raw content like this relating to physical activity and food intake.

So reassuring and calming to see this kind of content that is genuine and wise. Let's all together switch out society's standards towards more self kindness and approval of all our qualities including personality wise. Also let's be aware of how we're treating our bodies try to make it balanced cause listening to our bodies also means noticing when we're treating bad in extreme habits from overeating our eating crap to under eating and being overly obsessed. Thanks for being real and giving advice that actually has chances of sticking around and help us change slowly but surely. Kisses from Morocco!

    A lot of people use the concept of "body positivity" as an excuse to continue their unhealthy lifestyle. I was one of them. I had this phase when I would stay up all night to watch netflix, didn't exercise, and just ate really unhealthy food and I would tell myself that I'm prioritising my mental health because I'm giving in to these cravings. But over time, all those bad habits made me really lethargic, and I didn't have enough energy for the day, and I got colds often. Its good to take care of your mental health but don't compromise your physical needs, such as nutritious food, regular exercise, etc. When you start giving your body what it really needs, you'll be surprised how good you'll feel. It's all about the balance :)

      ​@@masooma2488 Hey! Certainly I agree with what you're saying I didn't mean she can't ever wear things like that, yes everything is different and I don't judge people for what they wear.
      That being said, for this specific video I appreciated how she didn't show off her physical body because of the message she's trying to drive home: building a good relationship with your own body and minimizing your comparison.
      Hope that makes sense!

      For me there's no bad food, but bad habits. I personally started changing the focus on food, if that helps you. For me, eating bad is starving, having only coffee for breakfast, if I eat pizza eat it until there's no more to eat. I recomend start asking questions to yourself like what is a bad food? Is it bad because it makes me no good or because i'm eating more than I should etc. (Sorry if you don't get what i'm saying, i don't speak english that well haha)

  • @vataidalma6855
    @vataidalma6855 Před 4 lety +188

    Just an important note: losing weight does NOT lead to better health. I think intuitive eating is a good framework which doesn't label foods as "good" or "bad" or "healthy" and "unhealthy" and doesn't restrict foods at all, but focuses on trusting your body and listening to your hunger and fullness cues. It doesn't tell you you're bad for eating chips or drinking alcohol, it allows you to do these things without feeling guilty about it, so you don't feel out of control around food. I'd recommend the book Anti-Diet by Christy Harrison to heal your relationship with food & your body ❤

    I’m on the heavy side, and I haven’t been tiny since middle school. High school was very stressful for me and I was dealing with childhood ptsd and slowly gained 40 lbs. Since December I’ve been working on healthy habits. I’ve been working out, dancing, and last month I started eating basically meat and veggies and fruit. I have lost 20 pounds so far, and it felt like it’s taken forever but I’m finally ready to let go of not only the weight, but all the emotional shit too. I’m only at the beginning of my journey, but all I know is it’s going to take time, but I’m finally ready to be patient.
