-------------------------------
SPAGHETTI SQUASH PAD THAI
(WHAT YOU NEED)
(Pad Thai)
1 spaghetti squash, halved and cooked
Cooking spray
1 tbsp minced garlic
8 oz uncooked chicken / shrimp / or tofu, diced
2 whole eggs*
2 cups fresh bean sprouts
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced or spiralized
½ cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
2 limes, cut into quarters
Cilantro, for garnish
Green onions, for garnish
Cooking spray, as needed
(Sauce)
3 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sriracha sauce, or as desired
¼ cup honey
4-6 tbsp powdered peanut butter
(WHAT TO DO)
1-Heat cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
3-Add chicken / shrimp / or tofu, minced garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. Stirring ingredients until fully cooked and veggies have just softened.
4-While pad thai ingredients are cooking, combine the sauce ingredients by hand or using a blender and set aside.
5-Remove pan from heat, draining excess liquid as needed, then return to medium-low heat. Push ingredients to one side, adding cooking spray as needed, then add eggs (or extra firm tofu) to the pan. Scrambling until fully cooked and broken up into little pieces.
6-Stir together all ingredients, then add cooked noodles, sauce, bean sprouts, and peanuts to the pan - saving some peanuts for garnish. Toss mixture until fully combined.
7-Remove from heat and serve with lime, cilantro, green onions, and peanuts as garnish.
*NOTE: for a vegan swap, substitute 2-4 oz of extra firm tofu for whole eggs or omit entirely.
.
BROWNIE MUG CAKE
(WHAT YOU NEED)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder*
1 whole egg**
1 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbsp sweetener of choice (I use stevia baking blend)
1 tsp baking powder
1-2 tbsp cocoa powder*
1/4 cup milk of choice (I use almond milk)
Cooking spray of choice
(WHAT TO DO)
1-Combine all ingredients until smooth.
2-Cooking spray a mug, then pour in mug cake mixture.
3-Microwave on 50% power for 2 minutes, checking, then returning to microwave in 1 minute increments (still at 50% power) until center is just set.
This recipe tastes WAYYYY better with ice cream or something to help moisten it up, so you may need to experiment!
*NOTE: if using vanilla protein powder, use an extra 1 tbsp of cocoa powder
**NOTE: fo a vegan swap, use a flax egg of 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water

SMART GIRL SUMMER…who’s with me?! 😻

[@kam8852]

Yaaaaas let’s do it 💪🏼 🤓

[@amandalinfield6477]

Definitely interested!

[@kyrar.j.4856]

1000% ready! Count me in!!

[@Somegirl811]

I'm totally down, but I deleted all my social media except YT. If I can keep up from here, I'll do it!

[@CristalGarcia]

JUST SIGNED UP YASSSS always love your videos cant wait to try this!

[@samiam517]

I have really noticed the super low cal high volume foods still leave me wanting to binge on unhealthy foods because I’m not truly satisfied. Mixing high volume with actually satiating foods is so much more sustainable in my experience. Good cooking techniques can make so many foods still healthy and taste amazing 😛

[@marcellao1716]

Ok, moderation is definitely where I'm at right now. Learning to enjoy smaller portions and still being in a calorie deficit isn't as hard as it seems. I don't need to be stuffed to be satisfied. Thank you Abby for all of your quality information ❤

[@divineprophetess3280]

I’ve learned that restricting leads to binging for me, so I do smaller portions and eat high protein every meal. It’s helped a lot and I still get the food I love without gaining loads of weight. Should be seen as a lifestyle not a diet, do something you can stick to is key.

[@mastersnet18]

Do you eat more meals a day, just smaller portions?

[@kasanchz]

Love Love "if your diet is unsustainable, then your weight loss will be unsustainable"

[@abbypollock]

🙏💛 such an important mental shift

[@jeanshelbybooks4154]

This 100% explains what I put my body through for two and a half decades!! I’m still learning and these videos help. Thank you!

[@kaaleenjoseph1776]

Did anyone else feel like they were in a therapy session with Abby during this video? I'm very excited for this smart girl summer

[@achaides]

Awesome to hear that you, like everyone else, struggle with body image. Love that you can relate to all of us and offer real, practical recommendations to improve ❤

[@dialaahmad1256]

I cannot explain just how much your videos help me on a DAILY! A year or so ago, I was one of those people who didn’t truly understand the concept of health and fitness and wellness. I was so toxic with my relationship with both food and working out. Similarly to you, I only had calories on my mind. Calories in and out (mind you I didn’t even understand the equation) Your incredible videos (among other amazing youtubers) have helped me truly understand health and fitness and truly learn how to live food and love exercise as a way to be healthy and not skinny. Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into these videos and thank you for helping out someone as lost as me ❤️❤️

[@tinathompson1129]

This is the video I didn't know I needed.

[@abbypollock]

💛 I hope this is helpful!

[@soysaraitrujillo]

[@leahuchacz9503]

Girl I watched your 20lb weight loss video and I had to stop watching for a while because I got so disordered in my thinking towards calories and food! So I’m so glad to rediscover you in this healthy mindset! Here we go smart girl summer!!

[@sockchen2707]

[@kassieprocopio4040]

I always love your creative solutions and research! Could you maybe play around with how to eat nutritiously(veggies, fruit, etc.) and try and save on plastic usage? I feel like I’m at a wall with the creative ways I could do.

[@caitlinannegrey]

6:37 dang sis, you really pouring out your heart and your brain 🥺🥲❤️

[@AP-gg7ep]

Wonderful message!

[@Monica-qg2pf]

Thank you so much for this, I really needed these tips.😁🥰

[@abbypollock]

I’m so happy this helps 💛

[@angelicaugalde1523]

Ik it's not the focus of the video but your dogs are adorable 😍❤

[@Pamylo14]

Thanks so much for this, i initially lost 20lbs then reached a plateau and instead of thinking about things to do consistently i resulted in punishing myself more, fasting, running, higher intensity... and i got SO hungry!!! Thanks for this video. I am now seeing things a lot differently, putting me back into the right mindset!

[@alexxsa.f]

Also, when can we get Team merch?? Momma needs some!!

[@abbypollock]

Sooner than you think 😉

[@mylena1533]

OMG YOURE CANADIAN !!!!! Tims forever !!!

[@karablythe4255]

Loved this video! So much truth.

[@abbypollock]

💛 I hope this helps!

[@Somegirl811]

Delirious Abby: 🤪 This is why you need to eat! 😂😂 Love the old-school Abby editing, too! Spongebob 4ever! P.S. Your eye brows are my favorite eye brows lol

[@intothebeyond8763]

She opens the ice cream here come the puppies . When she opens the salad nothing . I swear they got a sweet tooth.

[@thenopedetective]

Tim Horton's coffee is peak summertime beverage in my home town 😂. Great info, I love these reflections on previous workouts and diets!

[@abbypollock]

😂 FOR REAL. I appreciate you watching!

[@ramennoodles26]

OMG I haven't laughed this hard together since we got drunk for science 🤣 I LOVE YOU ABBY 😜 love the mix of science and making us laugh you're amazing looking forward to smart girl summer!

[@majawillumsen519]

Very helpful!🤩

[@TRW95]

Ok but cucumbers with salt is my jam. It's so good

[@xmetalgamerx]

I like to add some lemon juice too. Super refreshing!

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@xmetalgamerx Yes, lemon with salt makes cucumbers so much better. Carrots and Jicama too!

[@palmsonhearts]

You are the best!!

[@redpaperbag56]

I think this is my favorite abby video of all time😂😂👍✨

[@sdiponioXx]

Loving the cheetah printed hat Abby 🤣🤣

[@jkc7134]

This video was brilliant.

[@Izlandprincess1]

I started intermittent fasting and it allowed me to stop snacking because that was really my issue....I also stopped eating more than I needed and cut back drastically on fast food (cheaper to make home cooked). I'm now over two years into this new lifestyle lost about 30lbs and at one point I got down to 122lbs (I wasnt trying to lose weight when I got to that weight. I increased my intake a bit because I didnt like how skinny my legs looked. I am active on the weekends.....1hour of uphill walking...my work doesnt make me really sedentary because I walk around and stand around sometimes and I wear 4inch heels...I have to go up four flights of stairs few times a day at work (definitely a work out). But I really want to train my muscles but want to get it done at home instead of the gym.

[@amelie_g]

Thank you! My husband went out to get takeout last night and I wanted a grilled cheese and french fries but I asked for a garden salad instead. I woke up feeling great and my stomach was flat. It’s all about small lifestyle changes for sustainable weight loss :) Love you Abby

[@samanthamcneish8833]

I use intermittent fasting to help keep me on track with my calorie deficit! Works for me 🙂

[@ireeyes21]

Love your jacket in this video? Would love to know where you got it:-)

[@rhia2335]

Coffee box???? I’m from uk and this looks so cool 😎 Also, how can people with pcos loose weight when sensitive to carbs? Not cut out carbs altogether but lower carb so no spikes in insulin. Many thanks 🙏 xx

[@Autruchebleue]

You deserve a million followers, that's all

[@MetallicrealitE]

Im looking forward to a new challenge, bit of a shame it starts 2 days before my birthday and 3 days before I go camping, I might have to start on time, miss when I am away, come back into it with you all once I am home and then go back and do wk1 properly after wk4.

[@kellx4321]

Abby this may b weird but i love the way your mouth looks when you talk🙃 You are very beautiful!

[@SuperCaffeinequeen]

I am definitely at the all low calorie high activity stage.. I really want to do the challenge. I will be on vacation from the 5th to the 13th, can I start when I get back?

[@Isabella-vm3ir]

Not gonna lie LENNY AND LARRY COOKIES ARE MY SHITTT🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@lisa489]

This is all so familiar to me. I started lifting weights last week and it's been such a struggle to eat enough. Not even physically, but my brain is fighting against it so hard.

[@ecrin6298]

I love your videos🥰🥰

[@abbypollock]

This makes me so happy to hear 💛

[@laurafuentes4536]

I DIED when you opened the sparkling water. Like literally LMFAOOOO

[@larrydanziger2214]

You’re great! You should be a movie star! I’m bored with some of the movies right now. I think you would make a great asset to the industry. Something to think about.

[@evamcsweeney1992]

the sheer amount of caffeine before breakfast 😰 watching this gave my heart palpitations

[@SureYoureRight]

Same

[@klf1016]

Can totally attest to "but you never taught yourself moderation" problem, eeeek! Any tips on how to transition to smaller sized portions of regular food for someone who has gotten so, so used to gigaaaaantic portions of 'low cal' foods? Thank you so much, Abby!

[@RosesareRed38]

Maybe do both? That’s what ended up working for me. So if you want to eat a salad then add beans, brown rice and tuna to it and add some olive oil and hemp seeds and olives so you get a mix of high and low calorie foods. Another example would be to eat a burger with bun with salad instead of fries. Or 3 slices of pizza with a yummy salad. Whole eggs with toast and avocado /veggies. Basically combine high and low calorie foods. Don’t cut out either one of them.

[@mariah8197]

SAME!

[@HK-cp8tm]

Love this! 😂👌

[@abbypollock]

🤗 I’m so glad

[@Malery]

"If the methods are unsustainable the results will be unsustainable." 🙌

[@kittydynamyte]

Smart Girl Summer Question: In the video you said the challenge begins 06.28, but in the link in Challenge FAQ section it says the start is 07.05. While I’m really hoping for 07.05, which is the true start date?

[@abbypollock]

7/5 🤗 put an overlay on screen because I flubbed my words!

[@kittydynamyte]

@@abbypollock Absolutely happens to the best of us. I must’ve missed it because I’m just listening while working on something. Thank you so much for the quick reply. Excited for the new challenge. 💖

[@japansfacemask124]

That picnic scene killed me lol

[@abbypollock]

A MESS 😂

[@carolinemccullough1895]

I have to say that after restriction and low calorie diets my entire overweight life….I am at 46 living my dream. Keto did it for me. I eat one or two meals a day, lots of fat,protein, and vegetables. I don’t count calories. I do my weights( thanks to Abby) and move more. I think not being hungry worked for me. My rules are no bread, pasta, grain, chips, etc. personally as soon as I eat complex carbs, I crave more and more and more. Somehow I can have the occasional piece of cake or ice cream without feeling the need to binge🧐yeah Big salads, no processed foods, cooking all my meals, no snacks, lots of water. It’s awesomeness easier than I thought to be a healthy weight. Sounds lame but it really is a lifestyle.

[@Coliex]

Am I the only one who actually can't stand the taste of protein powder with almond milk and prefers it with water? I only use almond milk for protein overnight oats 🥴

[@Nate1975]

So how did you do it?

[@lidijastajic2401]

Im trying to workout last 2 weeks but its hard when temp is 35°c+ and im dead how hot it is here... I spent 20-30 min of workout everyday, is that enough?

[@teresalatiolais8477]

I do my own version of halo top

[@dogsinspace100]

This was me for years until I finally cracked and now I can’t seem to just have a cookie without having 10. ☹️ How did you transition and learn better eating habits and moderation?

[@jeyomcnugget9584]

Cut carbs and be miserable. It’s a no from me 😂

[@jeyomcnugget9584]

My body may not but I bloody do lol

[@susanprra]

Worst thing you can do, cut out any macros…

[@PlaceboEllie]

@@AdayDr1en yeah, that's why at my hospital I keep getting people with kidney stones and liver stress, every day at least one keto follower

[@PlaceboEllie]

@@AdayDr1en even if this were true, that's a BIG reason not to just recommend it to random people you don't know on the internet - these are long-term, damaging conditions. The people you're recommending it to might not know if they have health conditions (and I'm sceptical that this is the case, as studies show that kidney stones arise in children put on the diet for its original purpose, aka those with epilepsy)

[@8rainbowcaterpillar]

Where is the periwinkle sports bra from??

great intro

[@aaailicec]

Can I participate with an ankle injury?

[@abbypollock]

Something is always better than nothing 🙏 you can do this challenge 100% on your own terms. Even if you don’t do the workouts, it’s about showing up for yourself whatever that means!

Intermittent Fasting fixes my insulin resistance & thereby constant hunger (& risk of diabetes). Absolutely life-changer for me. Fasting is essential for insulin resistant people.

[@emilyrosiegreen]

Was this previous way of eating, a form of disordered eating?

[@abbypollock]

Eating behaviors exist on a spectrum. Any form of eating that results in a detriment to mental or physical health could be considered disordered and so this will kinda depend on the person. For me, it definitely wasn’t healthy which is why I’m so grateful to be where I’m at now 💛

[@thevalarieann]

I'm truly a little confused on this video

[@IndecisivegurrlAlex]

This is so much work to be fit.... exhausted.

Abby I just finished Whole 30 and I am so scared to start eating "normal again". How does one go about weaning of dieting to prevent additional weight gain ? If she has a video about this already please let me know.
