a soft life approach to achieving a calorie deficit

[@melinalicharowicz7332]

Great video =) I didn't see the Relationship with Food video linked in the description, could you add it or make a pinned comment? Very interested in getting into it finally.

“Cauliflower rice stir fry” from Trader Joe’s is amazinggggg. Throw it in a pan, crack some eggs in there, now you have egg fried rice. It’s low calorie, tastes good, and it’s already seasoned

[@La_Loaf]

I’m gonna try that thank you

[@lucia9806]

thank you for this. i feel like ED mindset is so normalised especially going into the summer it's like everyone is talking about how to loose half your body weight in two weeks like 😭 especially coming from so called fitness amd health people, there's nothing healthy about that mindset

[@TinaB111]

Easy way is to eat whole foods, eat at home and avoid processed foods. You would be surprised how much food you have to eat in order to overeat when you aren't eating junk.

[@alisteyn6]

Thiss!!! Eating real food that fuels your body and gives you what you need usually satisfies what your body is asking for compared to other things like fast food where it doesn't have all the nutrients your body needs thus making you crave more in an attempt to satiate your needs.

[@dejanicolle]

why do you always drop the exact video i need right when i need it 😭 we locked in frfr bestie!!! #75KClub☺️😜

[@Bliv285]

I love water but adding a lemon, mint, frozen fruit, etc. Is an easy ass way to get those cups in if its an obstacle for you!

[@Lifewithkrystal66]

Yup I add lemon Everytime

[@infinityflowers95]

Thank you SO much, this came right on time! I've been maintaining and working out consistently for a year or so and now I'm trying to shed a few lbs to show my progress. Literally perfect timing!

[@lynnetteiwueze7524]

There are so many factors that influence weight loss… some people (like me), literally have to be low carb to lose weight especially after my 30s. Carbs make me tired. Oatmeal doesn’t like me but I love oatmeal 😩. There’s also the issue of hormones especially for women. If you have insulin resistance, you will NOT lose weight even if you’re in a calorie deficit because your body will hold on to that weight. That’s a reason why a lot of people incorporate intermittent fasting. So I don’t believe that people who choose to cut a food group have a bad relationship with food. That’s simply not true across the board. I worked with a nutritionist and trainers and I followed their food plan to the T… my body does not like excess carbs… my coach was finally like let’s cut the carbs back and see… worked like a charm. Calories and calories out is no longer all that is required. Everyone is different… do your research on hormones and insulin resistance.

The REALEST discussion/talk. Alcohol and Smoking and Weed. FOR REAL. Thank you chica ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Joa.i.am.]

For me, what kills me is candy. I have an emotional-dependency relationship with it. I get bloated, I get tired quickly and retain liquids. But I use candy to feel better in the moments of emotional distress. I was 1 month ago trying to quite it, and it was hell. I was thinking about candy the whole day 😅. Now I know it s really an addiction , and I cannot have candy anytime, in any condition or at least not in my calorie deficit journey. I am still in my journey to figure out what is best for me, but at least I know myself better now. Great video, Bre. I always enjoy it.

[@Shaunieatl]

When you figure it out, PLEASE tell us. Candy is my arch nemesis. And I love the worst kinds; mixed berry skittles, nerds, lemon heads, cherry heads, sour punch straws, gummy bears, gummy twin snakes. I could eat until my teeth hurt.

[@keilahmills9271]

If you like sour candy, frozen grapes with lemon juice is a great alternative. If you like really sweet candy (dried mango, strawberries, banana). Also fresh fruit is also a great alternative.

[@alisteyn6]

When I was 15 I started tracking calories in an attempt to "lose some extra weight" since I was overweight at the time. Just taking note of what I ate turned into micromanaging everything and not giving myself proper nutrition. I thought it was fine since I wasn't skinny and only losing about 1kg a month. In my mind it wasn't dangerous, if it was i would've been sickly. Obviously, that's not true and by the time I was 16 I dropped 12kgs. For about another year I didn't change my eating habits at all, and my weight stayed stable despite not eating nearly enough. The solution in my mind back then was just to eat even less, but when I did that I actually started gaining weight back. In recent months I learned to focus on the nutritional benefits a food offers rather than the calories. I still track, it's a really hard habit to break but I switched my focus to macros rather than calories. I'm eating the amount of food my body needs now paired with workouts 3-4 times a week (rather than obsessively every day) and my weight is staying at a stable number while physically I'm thinner than I was when I was starving myself. Starving yourself doesn't make you lose weight, listening to your body and giving it what it needs with a gentler approach does.

[@nostalgicivy]

as a shorty bestie myself (5'0 to be exact), I can honestly relate to the 10-15 extra pounds comment you made (also, idc for cooking either,,, I would rather be a princess and have someone cook me meals). im a vegetarian for ethical, moral, and personal (I have never liked the taste of meat for as long as I can remember) reasons for 6 years this July (or august), so it has been pretty difficult to make a healthy plate that fulfills a calorie deficit. not to sound as superior or anything bc everybody's different, I rarely have strong cravings and I don't go pass my intermittent fasting timing (it's a game changer. I would do a vice versa thing where I eat something heavy in the morning and something lighter in the afternoon/early evening,,, it just depends on my mood on such) and fast foods rarely sounds appealing to me, but ya know I would throw down for a bowl of pasta or a slice or two of the good good New York pizza from time to time! my relationship with food has been healing for these 6 years and I love listening to my body when she's full, hungry, or dehydrated (was drinking water during the water section of the ep).

[@michelle.mood7]

This soft life approach mindset is what I need to stay consistent because I’ve come to the realization I will always reward myself to that Cinnabon 😂. You’re amazing girl! #75kclub

[@ToniaTameka]

The way I hollered at the “stop smoking that gas” 😂😂 I so had too stop, I’ve literally wrapped an egg roll in a pizza & fried it🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😂 Realizing for me that my emotional health and ADHD plays a huge part. I’m learning better coping skills to combat things. #75club

I make my iced chai at home. Bigelow vanilla chai teabag, 1 tsp. whole milk, 1 tsp. Truvia sweetener, and then pour it over ice.

[@StudentofFlames-me3ie]

I find I have to slow everything internal in my life down and create more social obligations to quicken the external to help me slow my mind to get rid of most of my cravings that hit during the first and second parts of my day if that makes sense. Once I do this I just have to remember to eat mostly healthy mid to late evening and I'm good with feeling stable in my diet.

[@cilantrolimex]

i LOVE poppi! olipop and culture pop, liquid death as well. it’s helped SO much with my soda addiction.

[@tinypwincess333]

i do want to add that if you have autoimmune or genetic disease then you literally cannot process carbs properly. metabolic health is influenced by the mitochondria

[@Someonesname188]

Can you elaborate more?

[@sanderstar1000]

(The powerhouse of the cell)

[@tinypwincess333]

@@Someonesname188 it’s a deep dive but feel free to search on any research database about mitochondrial health as it relates to metabolism, autoimmunity or genetic disease and B/T cells (really any of them but most research seems to revolve around lupus, ms, and arthritis. I have ehlers danlos syndrome)

[@tinypwincess333]

@@Someonesname188 sure! It’s a deep dive and depends on the disease at hand for the specific biological mechanisms. Here is a description for arthritis, and for reference carbs are immediately broken down as glucose: “The metabolic signature of RA T cells is characterized by the shunting of glucose toward the pentose phosphate pathway and toward biosynthetic activity. During the intermediate and terminal phase of RA-imposed tissue inflammation, tissue-residing macrophages, T cells, B cells and stromal cells are chronically activated and under high metabolic stress, creating a microenvironment poor in oxygen and glucose, but rich in metabolic intermediates, such as lactate. By sensing tissue lactate, synovial T cells lose their mobility and are trapped in the tissue niche. The linkage of defective DNA repair, misbalanced metabolic pathways, autoimmunity, and tissue inflammation in RA encourages metabolic interference as a novel treatment strategy during both the early stages of tolerance breakdown and the late stages of tissue inflammation. “ www.frontiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2021.652771/full

[@cs7021]

I have MS and can process carbs lmao

[@BexMcInulty]

7:16 if you have ADHD this advice is not for you. Our brains literally do not want us to drink water. So any hydration is better than no hydration. If you need stuff to have a flavour to be able to drink enough - do that! (I like to use low call flavour syrups for water! Game changer, i drink so much now)

[@alisteyn6]

Yes! Water also isn't the only thing that gives us hydration, so incorporating things like watery fruits and sugar free sports drinks can be really helpful to make sure you get enough hydration and electrolytes in.

[@fernandaoropeza4500]

Girllll when you started talking about needing to chill on the lettuce 😭😭 I really like to smoke and I’m only allowing myself to eat fruit with honey and it’s very satisfying for me.

I’ve lost 15kgs in 11 weeks by fasting OMAD, and 800 calories and staying under 50g carbs. I’ve healed my acid reflux issue, and a lot of benefits have come with dropping the weight, but man… I miss a bowl of rice sometimes

[@friendlyfilmz]

#75Kclub! I’d be so curious what you think about “the glucose goddess” and “glucose revolution” because you are discovering and talking about a LOT of science that’s in those books. PS I am on that same journey and no longer count calories.

[@kaitbittykitty]

When you said “oils and butters” I literally gulped

[@perhapssabrina]

How is suing about false advertisement weird? It sets a precedent that companies can’t just slap claims and titles without proper studies. It would be way worse if we let them do whatever we want. So I can’t help but disagree about the poppi lawsuit part even if poppi did actually benefit your gut. It should always be investigated before making claims.

"I'll come home and need Taco Bell." GIRL, this is facts! I'm crying from laughter and from the pain of the need for Taco Bell after a night out. Hahaha. Love your gentle and relatable approach! PS, the comment about the ganga girlies... I definitely am one of those girlies, but I don't have an issue with munchies because what I do is just wait to smoke until right before dinner or my actual meal that I was already planning on having. I very rarely overindulge from a smoke sesh, but from a night out, ABSOLUTELY. But I mean, that's just me. The rest of the tips are definitely things I will be implementing!

[@rudranishete8643]

Hey, Bestie B! Just a question. You mentioned that hunger could be mistaken as dehydration. Don’t you mean the opposite, that is dehydration being mistaken for hunger? A lot of times, when we actually need water, we end up mistaking that to be hunger pangs and snack. Let me know if what I interpreted was wrong!

I just came off a 2 week fruit fast for a reset and am doing at least 3 wks of keto before going on a more balanced plan and the babe literally told me a few hrs ago not to lose my shit counting carbs and calories 🤣🤣🤣 Keto is def not mean to be a lifestyle, for me, it helps to get back on track quickly and get the ball started on weight lose (goal is 15lbs). But without understanding how good works with YOUR body, ure setting ureself up for failure.

[@BillyJayEdwards]

[@jasminhabib5065]

The way you knew about olipops law suit but casually mentioned Starbucks and ignored the real reason they wanna ban tiktok (pro Palestine content was getting too hard to control, they even admitted to it). Girl I'm a true Bria Stan fan but I'm honestly super sad you're not educated 8+ months into the g-cide. Please do better💞

[@becauseilypodcast]

I’m well aware of the boycotts- Starbucks is still outperforming other coffee distributors…my point in naming them was very intentional (to discourage sales from them since it completely went over your head). But you are too caught up on keeping tabs on me that you missed the entire point because it wasn’t executed how YOU would like it to be. You know where the unsubscribe button is. ✌🏾
