The issue is never about the food, it’s the emotional triggers that you’re trying to numb by eating them. Heal the trauma; don’t punish foods. Nothing is good or bad.

I love this series. I feel like im learning what healthy eating actually is.

Mon-TERRY jack. Love.

Start with water before caffeine intake 💕

Abbey this has nothing to do with nutrition, but you are looking like a hunger crushing snackkk! 😂 Your hair looks so good, and the top is really cute and makes your eyes pop!

Loved this! Would also love to see more content on lowering insulin resistance PCOS using food ♡

As I’m sitting here eating overcooked pasta 🤣😩

the vinegar thing is so funny. I have been losing some kgs and my body automatically craves either added vinegar or things like pickles!!

Could really use those tricks. Currently trying to lose 20 lbs.

could u post links to the papers u cite as well next time

I like adding cauliflower rice to my regular white rice. I could never make the switch to brown rice because I just hated the flavor, and couldn't fully switch to cauliflower because I hated the texture. This has been a great compromise.

Some of these tips are great but the ones aimed at effectively tricking yourself into eating less? It seems like the opposite of your previous low maintenance approach to nutrition, not to mention it distances us from our intuition. It’s really disappointing to see your channel focus on this kind of stuff.

Thank you for this brilliant advice ❤

Any proper dietitian would tell people to stay away from protein bars. What garbage

I'm such a snacker while I cook, I'm totally doing the veggie plate thing.

That's one thin slice of cake.

Would it be possible for a future video on how to gain lean muscle mass while losing fat? There's so much conflicting information online that its difficult to know what to eat or drink. Thank you.

"There's nothing worse than not having enough sweets." ❤ I come from an Irish Catholic background, where I have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. The one thing that I learned from my German/Irish grandmother was to have enough dessert for leftovers. No one wants to watch a brawl to break out between (adult) siblings, with their Irish whiskey and chocolate fudge cake in hand, because their wasn't enough cake. 🍀🍰☕️

Abbey,what are your thoughts on intermittent fasting for women? Thanks for all your info!

Haha I always eat a veggie plate before dinner because I am hungry and don’t want to wait for it to be done to start eating. 😂

As per the cake, mug cakes work great too for portion control 🧁🍰

Smart!

In the cheese category you forgot feta! And romano ..😋🧀

You're fabulous Abbey! You create so much positivity!

TOTALLY can relate to touching Mayo 😵‍💫🤢 ! I don’t mind it in my tuna or egg salad but I can not for the life of me touch it or scoop it out of the jar. * hummus in replace of Mayo in tuna salad is delicious 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

My main goal hasn't been to lose weight but to manage slightly high blood sugar - but the side effect has been to lose 10 lbs "without trying". I've incorporated things that you've mentioned in other videos like eating veggies first, dressing up naked carbs, adding more lean protein, and freezing my bread.

Can you make a video one day about how to eat healthy as a picky eater? I struggle with most foods because I have pretty bad sensory issues... The texture of most foods is the reason I don't eat them. I can't eat anything mashed or as puree, I only eat a few veggies and of those I either only eat them raw OR cooked, I eat like... three types of fruit.... I don't like so many foods that it's actually insane I haven't developed any severe health issues yet. And every time I google "how to eat healthy as a picky eater" it only shows me results for parents who want to raise someone who is not a picky eater.... So any help would be appreciated honestly. I'm kinda losing my mind because I realized how unhealthy it is for me to always eat literally the same things, and I'm tired of keeping my calorie intake up with chips and chocolate because I just can't eat enough non processed food.

I like mayo and mustard in tuna salad. Also, boiled eggs , dill pickle relish and diced apples. I'm telling you the apples are a game changer. Garnish with smoked paprika. Its delish! Oh, I forgot lemon juice and salt and pepper!

Thanks!

It‘s giving ✨ED✨

What can you use instead of greek yoghurt if you are allergic to cow milk?

Yeah she did not ask you.

17:23 that's the saddest piece of cake I've ever seen.

as I eat a slice of pizza with added veggies but my main was a veggie salad with olive oil dressing, I had half my salad as the pizza cooked. I just choose higher quality snacks as well, dark chocolate, the good ice cream, french cheesecake.

Mustard is better than mayo and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on 😂

I love Berne Brown!

"Al dante" had me rolling, I'm picturing the circles of hell full of perfectly cooked pasta

I’m using a gulp-1 medication. This type of shaming is rampant for users of these meds. Everyone of us has done everything we could to lose weight and been unsuccessful.

8:44 This! I think this is why I prefer the Mediterranean Diet. Protein is definitely important, and I make sure to eat enough protein being over 50. But I notice a difference when I don’t have enough healthy fats and the Mediterranean Diest makes that easier for me to incorporate them into my diet.

Id like to know the brands of the foods you are using. Your prices are way off. .

I still remember an ad on Nickelodeon from when I was a kid telling you to avoid hidden sugar. “Fructose, sucrose, dextrose snd maltose. All words that rhyme with GROSS” and they dressed the sugar up to look evil. Maybe the intention was good but my perfectionist self did NOT take well to that. Appreciate you sharing your story

Your videos are so good Abbey! Could you possibly do a video on the Auto-Immune Protocol? There is an influencer/content creator currently going big on instagram on it and I'd find it interesting to get your take on the protocol!

Not on topic...but I love your top it suits you so well the colors and style.

Love your videos Abbey!

Thanks, Abbey. Interesting content...😊

The Queen is back❤❤❤ Luv u Abbey ❤

Omg first comment! Love u sm Abbey! I always watch your videos while im eating my lunch or doing the dishes hahah, you help me stay inspired!!!

I love eating no sugar. We get carbs from our veggies and don’t need white refined sugar in our diet, it’s poison.

Jo for workouts, Abbey for nutrition advice for me 🥰

Nothing can make that plastic tasting "cake" better. It belongs in the trash!!! Make your own chocolate cake!!!
