My mother was always telling my sisters and I to not drink diet soda when we were young. She said, " It will come out one day that it causes weight gain." The studies now are pointing to it. It's a mystery to us how she knew.
I just found you on youtube and I am obsessed in a good way of course. You are so informational and motivational. I need you in my life. I lost 75 pounds 7 years ago and gained every pound back within 3 years. I have been beating myself up since then which is making it hard for me to restart. Listening to you has helped me to stay on my water and create a healthy grocery list. Next is to get up and move. So this is my start and I will keep listening to stay motivated.
I have ankle issues and have OI (brittle bone disease) so it’s always been hard for me to be active , your channel has helped me change my diet , and motivates me to drink more water. I’m at 200 right now and I’m trying to get to 150 in the long run !
I am so glad you talked about intuitive eating! I can’t do that because I am always hungry. My meds make me hungry. I rarely get full. I know when I am full when I feel sick. Portion control is the only way I can do it. Even then it is hard. I have food intolerances so I have a bad relationship with food. Thank you for addressing this!
The point about intuitive eating was spot on. The people I see who've had success with intuitive eating have usually grown up with reasonable habits (reasonably active, reasonably balanced nutrition, not using food as an emotional crutch) and are reconnecting with that normal eating after recovering from the consequences of crash dieting. These people also don't seem to be suffering from endocrine disorders, autoimmune conditions and are not taking medications that affect appetite. If IE works for them, that's great, but as someone who grew up with a really bad relationship with food and has hashimoto's, it took quite a while for me to get over the delusion that I could become an intuitive eater.
you're so great at explanation and complex info presented in a simple way. love your content. thanks for helping others conquer something that can be really difficult!
It's funny you say that about weight loss being a lifestyle change and not just a quick fix. I've gone up and down like a yo-yo ever since I was 12 years old, especially with eating emotionally at times. I finally learned this year that the work doesn't end when you lose the weight, or you get the body you want, or the blood sugar levels get to the numbers that you need them to be at ... no that's actually when the hard work begins. Truth is when you're losing the weight it's easy to say "oh well, I didn't get to my goal weight... I'll try again next time"and just go back to eating like you were eating. However, when you lose 60... 70... 80... or more pounds you get it in your head you don't want to go back up to that number in the scales so yes it is hard work to keep the weight down but it's worth it too.
Home cooking and eliminated animal products for ten days worked for me and walking everywhere! 8 weeks later, slim, no inflammation, not hungry, more energy! From flabby 63 kgs to slim muscular 56kgs! Cellulite gone! Unfortunately didn't maintain it!
You still can enjoy everything you love to eat, you just need to make it yourself, much healthier, much tastier and you don’t have to poison yourself once in a while! :) Love your videos, thank you so much!
In one of my health groups people say they have to cut carbs because "carbs caused fatty liver" or "no sugar" and they go on and on about stevia or fake sugars. If you mention you eat pasta (and never say white pasta or you get "stoned) they freak out. One woman demanded to know how I claimed I lost weight while eating "carby" cereal like Cream of Wheat. You just need portion control and hopefully you burn it off with exercise. The "I hate carbs" group really gets my goat because they fail to understand they didn't get fat overnight and "carbs" are necessary.
I just checked my weight yesterday and i haven't lost any weight since 1 month!! I was really sad and frustrated yesterday. Even tho I know that I didn't exercise properly and even cheated ate junk food many times,like everyday. But I'm worried that now even if I exercise regularly and eat proper food, am I still gonna be able to lose weight and reach my goal
I read a book "why french women don't get fat" and it talked about the 3 bite rule, that after 3 bites, you become numb to the taste and enjoyment and your blood sugar spikes. So then what I started doing to taper off of sugar is cutting desserts in half or sharing at a restaurant. I will share a donut with my husband. If I have had alot of carbs one day I will eat 1/4 of a donut and take tiny bites and now I am at the point with sensitivity that a small sweet finish to a meal is more than enough. Anything to get the delight without a nap.
I love your channel...the only thing is that I cant eat any rice, pasta, bread, seeds, nuts etc ..I have really bad IBS and also suffer from Divertikulitis. I only eat sour dough bread and food on the GAPS diet...Bone broth, Sauerkraut..a lot of prepping
I have started eating junk type foods only on special occasions like family birthdays and Christmas, so a cheat day about once every 2nd month or so and it seems to be working well for me. I can be strict with myself if I know a "naughty" day is coming. And then after 2 months of eating super healthy I find I can't really stomach or enjoy as much junk food in a day as I used to be able to vacuum up so it ends up being pretty tame anyway. I know though, that if I let that cheat day bleed into a couple of days longer I run the risk of returning to my old ways, like a sugar and fat addict. The makers of those foods actually do testing for the ideal fat and sugar to add to make it hard for people to stop eating their product.
Once again I have to add that I totally love your lifestyle and diet advice - completely realistic ... although I’ve just munched SIX crumbed and stuffed chili poppers 🤦🏼♀️
I’m on a calorie deficit and my budget is ~1800 calories. I try to eat whole, nutritious foods that keep me full like oats, quinoa, fruits, and vegetables. But some days I have trouble reaching my budget. Some days I can’t even get over 1,300 calories and it’s not intentional, I’m just not hungry. I eat three meals a day and listen to my body when it says I am full. Do you have any advice on how I can fix this, or if it’s even a problem at all?
I’ve had a diet sodas on an occasional basis and I’m considered a type 2 diabetic, I personally think it’s better than drinking a regular coke or regular energy drink and I’ve lost over 80lbs since 2/2020 and I’ve kept it off and also continue to lose weight. I say in moderation it’s fine, but I’ll never drink a Big Red soda or regular sugary drinks..,
I just used a calculator and got my bmr and tdee. My tdee is 3000. To lose 1 pounds a wk would my daily calories be 2500? That just seems so high. In your opinion, what is the best macro % for weight loss? Carb 45, protein 30 and fat 25? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
You may have overestimated how much calories do you burn, but if your tdee is actually 3k, eating 2.5k you'll lose a pound a week. As for macros - % does matter, eat however you like, so that you can stick to your diet and to simplify things by quite a bit. Only macro I myself is concerned about is protein - 1 gram per pound of bodyweight is optimal for muscle growth. Also i like to keep fats pretty low, as it is very easy to overeat them. It would be easier to ansver your question if you say what's your weight/height and what are the activities you do.
#8-Water fasting or as you call it water cleanse DO WORK. Watch videos from Dr Jason Fung, Dr Eric Berg and Dr Sten Ekberg and they will explain more about autophagy and giving you body a break from food. I enjoy your other videos. Thanks Lacey.💦 💧💦
actually i think it's ok for us to listen to our bodies i think that's a good thing not a bad thing to me it's to new year 2023 i just stop eating candy and drinking soda because we know it's bad for us i'm just taking baby steps in the spring time i do want to stop eating some junk foods i'm not gonna stop eating all unhealthhy foods because i know for a fact i'm still gonna what some unhealthy food in my life i do want to replace some junk foods with healthy real food like fruits and vegetables i'm not gonna lie i am guilty eating too much food some of us can't help ourselves it can be hard to stop eating too much my mom and some my family are also not ok with me eating too much i did heard the advice before eating too much all the time everyday can be bad but i think it's ok to eat alot sometimes as long we are not doing it all the time everyday that's what i'm going to do i am going to eat little bit of food everyday but sometimes it's ok to eat alot if i start to feel that hungry i also wanan let you know that i don't think alcohol and don't do no drugs at all i also want to let you know that my favorite drink is lemonade and water i know i love to drink alot of water but sometimes i just want flavor fruit juice drink in my life some do say some juices are bad for us and some juices are good for us that are organic i know it takes time to lose weight i'm aware of that now days i now know it doesn't happen fast i usually do hate exrcise because back then when i used to be at school back then i was pressure force to do alot of exrcise they not giving us a break at all i just don't like feeling the pain they make us do too much exrcise at the gym but now i will try my best to do some exrcise take a break if i feel tired start feeling pain of doing exrcise then get back to it by finishing my exrcise when i don't feel tired of pain some do there exricse at home and some go to the regular gym to do exrcise i rather do exrcise at home so i can do easy simple exricse and i also wanna let you know another reason why i want to change my deit because i do miss being skinny i love being skinny don't get me wrong i don't mind and love being little bit chubby as long i'm not overweight i just don't want to be overwight at all i would not be happy abou that at allwe know that it unhealthy that is that's all i want to share
yess I am a fan of those donuts burgers Pizza and a few more hotdogs pies cakes cookies and kitKat cndy bars some Potatoe chips, my post as security I patrol once or twice an hour the rest is sitting in my car ( if the weather is bad) and the huge thing for me is the Damm vending machine inside that I walk past every patrol. I stopped eating junk food back in the 1970s early 80-s ago than in 2017 I started my post here and one night I forgot my lunch so I used the vending machine now its a total habit, I buy a Kitkat bar or tiny bag of baked potato chips and I have been doing this for the past 4 years at least once a shift evil machine that calls my name saying Just look inside and see what's here :) Carbs are basically fuel. cutting too many calories will set your mind to saying" Starving "so the body will produce more fat and possibly burn muscle and also your organs could be damaged as well if this is done to much. I think also when people lose weight at first its water weight
ahi dios mio.... ppl and those stupid advise. Listen to your body, i have been pencil thin my entire life. Burn those calories. I do not "work out". I find it to be such a waste of time. But I am 100% active. get off your ass, and burn calories. It kills me when ppl drive to the gym... wow I am changing my eating habits for healthy reasons, but not because i need to loose weight.
You can eat what you want, just the amount makes the poison .. Of course, more healthy food, but sometimes also what you love to eat. eating half makes a difference.. Good luck for y‘all 🙌🏼🥒🥥🥬🌞❤️

Started my journey one month ago, and your channel speaks to me so much.
I love all of your videos, the information is top notch, thankyou so very much! 😊
Thank you, you’re videos are very helpful. 🙏🏽 I can’t stop watching them!!! Gracias

Very fluid in your elaboration on your health knowledge and quest; way to be.
I just checked my weight yesterday and i haven't lost any weight since 1 month!! I was really sad and frustrated yesterday. Even tho I know that I didn't exercise properly and even cheated ate junk food many times,like everyday. But I'm worried that now even if I exercise regularly and eat proper food, am I still gonna be able to lose weight and reach my goal
I enjoy your videos. Agree 100% with you. Good carbs are ok. And a cheat day is good too! Keep up the good work!
Hi new subscriber. Our thoughts about diet, weight loss and exercises are same. Thanks for sharing all these tips ❤️👌👌👌
I read a book "why french women don't get fat" and it talked about the 3 bite rule, that after 3 bites, you become numb to the taste and enjoyment and your blood sugar spikes. So then what I started doing to taper off of sugar is cutting desserts in half or sharing at a restaurant. I will share a donut with my husband. If I have had alot of carbs one day I will eat 1/4 of a donut and take tiny bites and now I am at the point with sensitivity that a small sweet finish to a meal is more than enough. Anything to get the delight without a nap.
Great content!!!!

I dropped diet soda and went with mio sport and lost 13 lbs in 2 months alone.
I’ve had a diet sodas on an occasional basis and I’m considered a type 2 diabetic, I personally think it’s better than drinking a regular coke or regular energy drink and I’ve lost over 80lbs since 2/2020 and I’ve kept it off and also continue to lose weight.

Carbs are basically fuel.
cutting too many calories will set your mind to saying" Starving "so the body will produce more fat and possibly burn muscle and also your organs could be damaged as well if this is done to much.
I think also when people lose weight at first its water weight
im trying to dig shia seeds off my teeth as I watch this video
ahi dios mio.... ppl and those stupid advise. Listen to your body, i have been pencil thin my entire life. Burn those calories. I do not "work out". I find it to be such a waste of time. But I am 100% active. get off your ass, and burn calories. It kills me when ppl drive to the gym... wow
I am changing my eating habits for healthy reasons, but not because i need to loose weight.
