Dietitian Turns Your FEAR FOODS Into HEALTHY MEALS (From Triggering to Satisfying)

[@annaquan708]

Abby, you helped me realize my eating habits were extremely disordered and aided me in actively trying to heal my toxic relationship with food. Thank you, and regular ruffles are way better than regular lays!!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you, thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@rachel4325]

dude no they arent, regular ruffles are 🤮

[@dejstoney]

Yes but only thing about ruffles is that they hurt my jaw because of the extra effort to crunch.

[@SecretKeeper222]

Wavy Lays > any other chips

[@sydney58279]

Ruffles > Lays any day

[@tyk3874]

I love that Abbey mentioned getting candy she likes now! I'm a long time viewer and remember seeing a halloween video where she gave a tip to "buy halloween candy you don't enjoy so you won't binge on it" and thinking "wow this doesn't seem to fit with what she usually stands for" and it's a nice reminder that even people you admire for their healthy relationships with food had to grow to get there.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Absolutely! So glad that is helpful 😊

[@ik7357]

this is exactly her vibe 😂😂

[@Amanda-kf7pm]

Something I love about this series is that its the exact opposite of diet culture tells you. Basically take away most of the “good stuff” like taking the breading off of fried chicken or the cheese/crust off pizza 🙄🙄 But Abbey says no! ADD things to keep you satiated create a well balanced meal! At first It was hard to get over the mental block of adding more to an already calorically dense food but it seriously works!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Great idea!

[@dmb8421]

I am soo excited! I was literally eating a bowl of cereal with protein powder for lunch thanks to your first video and thought, “I wish I had more ideas” …boom, you came through! YAASSSS!!!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Yum! So glad that was helpful for you 😊

[@sayeedarahmandrienikova9260]

also one of my fave things to do after that first vid. Thank you Abbey! no longer scared of cereal!!! 🥣

[@LaurenAnne6]

I was also inspired by her first video to do cereal with protein powder. I have yet to find a vegan protein powder that actually tastes good this way. I kinda have to choke it down, but I'm determined to find one that works!

[@nekokitty90]

I like to use PB2 powder on my cereal Its so good and actually makes a serving of cereal feel filling instead of me wanting to eat like half a box lol

[@LizziLoveLyrics]

I also started doing that too! I got chocolate protein powder and I add that to some honey grahams omg so good.

[@singinglawnchair]

It might seem a little weird but turning my fear foods into more nutrient dense meals is actually a lot of fun for me! My partner and I LOVE Korean ramen and the other day we dressed up some Shin Ramyun with green onions, broccoli, kimchi, and some pre-grilled salmon we got on sale. I couldn't even finish it! It was so delicious, and it's so fun to get creative and make something wholesome and tasty :)

[@AbbeysKitchen]

That sounds amazing!

[@beethovenjunkie]

Ramen with a handful of frozen peas and 1-2 eggs is my balanced depression meal. It's something I almost always can manage to make, and it doesn't require ingredients that spoil fast.

[@Joee003]

Same, except instead of peas I throw chopped cabbage in the water, and on some days I cook the egg directly in the broth as well. Gotta do what you gotta do to keep yourself fed. You're doing great!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Sounds delicious and nourishing!

[@theprousteffect9717]

Yes, same. It pisses me off so much when people call ramen "junk food." It's a bit high in sodium and not the most nourishing, but no one is forcing you to eat it by itself (or even use the entire seasoning packet). You can bet the Japanese aren't eating plain broth and noodles with nothing else and calling it a meal 🙄 You can throw any protein and veggies into ramen, or eat them alongside, and it's very nutritious, filling, and delicious.

[@pidohuntress7385]

I like this because you are showing how all foods really can fit into a healthy eating plan. Currently eating an HCC lunch of pastrami/ cheese/ green apple and cinnamon, a side of chips and a mini candy bar.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Totally! Sounds delicious 😊

I love dressing up ramen! Being a full time employee, full time grad student, and planning a wedding it’s so hard sometimes to make crazy meals. I always have frozen veggies and some sort of protein on hand just to add to cheap ramen. Sometimes that’s just tofu, frozen peas, and frozen broccoli but I always feel happy after:) Thanks for posting this!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Absolutely! Sounds like a delicious meal 😊

[@cyn4476]

If you like spice, I love adding some hot sauce to ramen, along with tamari sauce. My husband mixes chili paste with tamari or soy. You can make it nose running hot or just a touch of heat, whichever is good for you!

[@rjmcb1232]

Try adding peanut butter, siracha, and a soft-boiled egg! It is soooo good and my favorite way to eat ramen.

I just wanna jump in and thank you so much for your content. I've been employing the HCC concept as a tool to get over my eating disorder and bin off diet culture. For the first time ever, I'm not "on a diet" and - can you BELIEVE IT - my weight is starting to sort itself out. BY ITSELF. Without restricting!! Because I'm fuelling my body and enjoying food. I could cry.

Honestly today I realised that eating fast-food gives me so much satisfaction that I could go 6 hours straight without thinking about food-and I am an ex-binger. The Hunger Crushing Combo was the best thing I learned from Abbey. It opened my eyes and made me understand how I feel after a meal and why. I only now see a bit of improvement in my disordered eating and I am so happy.

[@nanettemorton4054]

No black licorice?! SHUN! SHUN THE NONBELIEVER! Ahem. Black jelly beans and salted peanuts are the bomb.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I'm so glad the HCC is a helpful tool for you!

[@ik7357]

same! i just can't get the same satisfaction from ""healthy"" alternatives but eating my pizza (or burger or w/e) w a fat juicy colorful salad hits the spot just right AND leaves my body feeling nourished and comfortable (as opposed to sluggish and bloated and crampy if i ate a bunch of pizza on its own like i used to)

[@staciapenn5552]

A big tip: add arugula on top of pizza. It makes it less greasy and fills you up in a more satisfying way. Also, pizza crust made of spinach is also sooo good and it sneaks in some extra veggies 🤤💯

[@AbbeysKitchen]

That's a great tip!

[@sharroon7574]

Arugula is great on pizza and pasta plus its easy to grow your own!

[@L_W748]

One of my holiday trigger foods are definitely the sweets like cookies, pie, candy, hot cocoa, super sweet lattes, etc. Basically just the festive foods that come around once a year so you feel like you have to enjoy them while it lasts! I’d love to be able to find some way to enjoy these foods while feeling satiated and not binge on them!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I will put these on my list for next time!

[@Chamitammy]

Just eat them! But stop, when they dont give you this super happy feeling. Take some. Eat It. You can always have more. They are not running away from you.

[@sharroon7574]

I start eating holiday treats when they come in stock, not sure if it's wise or not but by the time the party season comes around I have already had my favourites. I will say now that I'm older I just don't enjoy over eating so I tend to eat normal meal sizes even at thanksgiving etc.

[@ksmspeace]

The morning after Thanksgiving this year I had apple pie with full fat cottage cheese for breakfast. The salty plays nicely against intense pie sweetness and it adds protein.

[@abbiepancakeeater52]

omg yes. i don't rly like junk food but i'm weak for sweets and it's so sad thinking about not eating them :(

[@theprousteffect9717]

Thank you so much for this. It's honestly one of the most valuable series a dietitian could possibly make. Your disclaimer in the beginning was extremely helpful as well - it's perfectly fine to regularly eat these foods on their own, but including them in balanced, healthy meals can strip them of their novelty and power. Not to mention, help us avoid overeating them and not feeling the best physically. I got honest recently and finally admitted to myself that I don't actually WANT to eat a half gallon of ice cream or an entire bag of chips in a sitting. It doesn't make me feel good to eat that much of most foods in one sitting. What I want are moderate serving sizes of these "trigger" foods on a semi-regular basis.

[@morena6717]

I never thought about sharing the pizza and pairing it with a side salad! :O That's going to be a life saver because I like pizza but I'm never really satisfied after eating it! Thanks for all the great tips!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Absolutely! So glad that was helpful 😊

[@shaunawatts9654]

It took me about a decade to realize I even had fear foods! One food I struggle with is cookies. My ability to sense my satiety cues goes out the window around them, usually. I would love to see how to incorporate cookies into a meal that wasn't just as dessert.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I can put this food on my list to discuss next!

I forgot to mention my trigger food: sushi. I can't stop myself from overeating whenever I get it because it's such a treat, but I really want to learn how to feel satisfied with just a roll or two

[@Twilighterfan147]

What about pairing 1 or 2 sushi rolls with miso soup and a japanese miso salad?

[@chelseascarborough729]

Not that it’s needed, but I really appreciated the “permission” to just eat pizza without feeling guilty that you ate more than one slice.

[@VaillancourtLJ]

And yes you are 100% correct in the 'Lays' vs. 'Ruffles'; I'm actually surprised 'Lays' is still in business when there is so many better options on the market. Their chips are so flimsy and always broken into a million pieces in the bag. While 'Ruffles' on their other hand is a nice sturdy chip. I like a chip that can support the weight of a small family ;)

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Absolutely agree!

[@lynncrf]

I miss Ruffles. Nothing like those chips here in Ireland.

You should look for Red Vines Made Simple! Their ingredients are just "Cane Sugar, Wheat Flour, Radish Extract (Added for Color), Natural Berry Flavor with Other Natural Flavors, Citric Acid."

Do you like milk? That's got fat and protein and goes really good with desserts like that. I almost always drink 2% milk with cake and feel pretty satisfied for a while after.

[@scubacwgrl]

Good suggestion! I'm thinking cake probably isn't too bad as far as the fat and protein parts since you've got eggs and milk in most recipes. Maybe add almonds or walnuts as a side snack or topper to a slice (if you're not allergic) to get some fiber in there? A J's suggestion of a glass of milk also adds to the fat and protein value. If it's in budget or available, a filtered milk like Fairlife has a higher protein content than normal milk. Thanks for asking about this, cause I'm struggling with ideas on how to really increase the fiber on this one without eating a side salad along with it lol.

I actually had a Pot Noodle on Monday for the first time ever, and with Abbey in mind I made it into a hunger-crushing combo with tofu and loads of veggies. It was so tasty, and I didn't feel panicked after it like I expected, because it was balanced and made me feel good. I've been in ED recovery since June and Abbey's tips are helping so much with incorporating more foods into my diet.

[@captainkacke1651]

As I live in Japan, sometimes I just need to take to packaged instant ramen for a quick meal (especially since Japanese houses normally don't come with an oven so we only have an Airfryer which isn't suited for quick oven tray dinners). I usually use Shin-Ramyun, a korean brand, which is super spicy, because I like my ramen very spicy (and make my husband sweat 😆). To make it more filling I will add veggies like cabbage, onions, some type of green beans, mushrooms or whatever I have as leftovers. Then I will add in some tofu and egg for protein, because I usually don't like meat in my instant ramen, and top it off with some natto (fermented soy beans) at the end which have the health benefits of fermented foods while also adding in more protein. If I am decadent, I also put some cheese on top. It's spicy, it's satisfying and it also is very filling. Thank you for making these videos and giving us new inspiration! I will definitely try the "chicken burger" one. I love to eat fried chicken but I never knew how to incorporate it into a healthy meal so you just made my day a little better by giving me this inspiration.

Same!!! I won't be satisfied by just a slice 🍕

[@Katepwe]

I could never eat as much as she does.

[@EL14411]

There’s so many “she said” joke opportunities in this video, I lost count 🤣

[@AbbeysKitchen]

😂

[@Juliette137]

I actually tried the pizza suggestion today! My husband and I usually enjoy pizza on Saturdays for lunch. I got a salad and ate half of it with my slices. Felt so satisfied and still enjoyed the treat with my husband.

[@daniellaevelynnn]

i would love to see starbucks’ loaves or cake pops in the next video !!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I will put this on my list!

[@BonnieRzM]

Love it! Can't wait for the next video 😍

[@siyanatabita6174]

Yess! I've been trying to do this on days where I know i'll feel guilty of indulging but just can't resist. It has made such a difference in my relationship with "fear food". Thank you for this!

[@amandaduey6253]

Team Red Vines and Team Ruffles!! I've never made my own French onion dip but it will be happening NOW!!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@BeeboIllustrations]

Wait no this is good cause my stomach is sensitive and when I change my diet it literally makes me feel sick in a million ways. My stomach is so used to this food growing up poor and parents who did not care to give us a good diet, this is such a smart way to introduce healthier food into my diet. Plus this will help me actually understand fear foods can be ok too

[@shelbysmith3712]

Ooh, that ramen looks amazing! I need to make that.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I hope you try it!

[@alliegarcia6901]

I made your dip but I roasted the garlic and blended half of the onions and all of the garlic into the Greek yogurt and then mixed in more yogurt and the rest of the onions and it’s SO GOOD!! Thank you 😭😭

[@jessicali-poma4554]

Absolutely love this video. I've been yoyo dieting for the past 4 years or so, gaining and losing weight, going from restricting to bingeing and back again. Right now I am really trying to find a balance between eating healthy balanced meals and eating all the foods I love. Please make more videos like these !

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Thank you for sharing! Definitely going to be making more of these videos

[@chloebenn5708]

A really simple way to enjoy instant ramen a bit more ballanced is to throw in some frozen veg and frozen shrimp while it boils, always at hand and takes moments

[@amylitz5163]

Ugh my BED has at an all time lowwww. I need this 🥺😥

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I hope this was helpful for you and that you're doing alright ❤️

[@brynleykirchhoff8367]

This is my favorite series. A close second is your What I eat in a Day's. Thank you for being you Abbey!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I’m so glad you enjoy those! ❤️

[@genesisprado7665]

The Greek yogurt onion dip is so obvious yet I had never thought of it loved this video for showing how to incorporate these foods into more satiating snacks

[@AbbeysKitchen]

So glad it was helpful!

[@hopestout5474]

Abby, you have no idea how much your videos and advice have helped me through my recovery. I love seeing all the different foods you put together. I love you girl!

[@liyawong96]

Would be interesting to see you react to and make suggestions for Dr. Mike's cholesterol scare video.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I'll have a look at that!

[@amyclark7373]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm tired of being "afraid" to eat things I enjoy!

[@jetpixi13]

I love this thank you! My concern is always calories. I did lose a lot of weight by cutting calories by quite a lot. But clearly that’s not sustainable. I’m sure you e mentioned it in a video, but maybe someone else can give me bullet points or point me to the vid. I’m also bad at stopping before I’m hella full, and I can see that’s part of the goal. Working on it :)

[@AbbeysKitchen]

I have a video that talks about the hunger scale that you might find helpful! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4XUipdtgsZmb5Y

[@jackcrossley703]

Hi Abbey, this series is super helpful! When I was a young teenager, I stumbled across a howcast series called “how to order Italian, Chinese, Mexican, etc, without blowing your diet”. Looking back, the advice is outdated and likely wasn’t run by an RD. A video reacting to those short videos, or even a series covering what an RD orders at many different restaurants might be a great idea!

[@japjab7473]

I had ramen at brunch and subconsciously did it the HCC way and now I'm seeing your video. You're changing the world Abbey.

[@lizngyou]

Abbey, thank you so much for making these types of videos! The thought of eating any of my fear foods used to scare me so much, but you have helped me immensely with my relationship with food. The more I watch your videos, the more I see that it is perfectly fine to eat and enjoy all foods! Today I ate an entire bagel for breakfast (something I would've never done a year ago) and your voice came into my head saying, "how can I make this into a hunger crushing combo?". So I decided to add some peanut butter and jam to the bagel, with some cheese, fruits and veggies on the side to get in more fibre, fat and protein!

[@audrey3503]

Thank you for dialing down the fear ;-) Real foods for real eating.

[@ouriah]

I need this series forever!

[@lisahartman2262]

Love how generous and satisfying your plates look! Gives me some motivation to spruce up my meals with some side salad 🥗
