Is it possible to track carb cycling on MFP for low and high changes?

[@BrookeMoore-qs3rs]

I freaking love the cuts at the beginning of your videos!!! They highlight the best of your personality and always make me laugh 😂 Good job editing, Ian! And keep being awesome Julia!!!

[@juliarene]

omg thank you! IAN KILLS IT!

[@user-if9lc9sl9z]

You make prep look so easy you have such a positive radiance about you!!😝

[@Littlezully]

Thank you for making this 40 min long !! Perfect for my cardio lol

[@juliarene]

You're so welcome!

[@dianecastillo123]

I loved your statement about it being okay to NOT be perfect. I needed to hear that today.

[@juliarene]

Glad it helped love🦋

[@catherinemoore4583]

Yes on Sephora haul/try on video!!! Love the girly chats and all the beauty things 😊

[@juliarene]

Coming soon!

[@FivepointOFit]

❤ Love watching you Julia! Thank you for all of your uniqueness and authenticity!

[@juliarene]

LOVE YOU QUEEN!

[@beegratefulfarm6933]

That’s too funny! Last night I told my husband I was super excited for my french toast tomorrow 😂

[@staclenore9191]

Yassss--I made some last night and gave my 75 year old Dad a bite--oooo, babygirl that’s good! 🤣I made some for both of our dinners tonight🙌

[@juliarene]

It's so good!

[@lcharest1021]

Love the quote about perfection!

[@jennyrstanley1]

I really needed that quote on perfectionism today. Screwed up on my cut a bit this weekend and it wasn't even that bad but I'm totally beating myself up. I'm not even competing... Just doing it to prove to myself I can. I don't know how you guys do it for so long!

[@juliarene]

I'm glad it helped you!

[@emilymelvin1619]

Your new posing idea is a 100/10 GIRL OMLLLLLLL POP TF OFFFF 😍

[@juliarene]

Thanks queen !!!

[@electricpeach7231]

I applied the changes your coach recommended for activating upper glutes. It’s been amazing I can immediately feel the difference. Thanks!!

[@juliarene]

Great to hear!

[@ileanasalgado5455]

I did subscribe and now I just like to see all your content everyday for motivation…. Loving your pump vibes 😅…

[@juliarene]

Thanks for subbing! Glad you’re here !

[@AmethystMtzE]

Also girl! I love watching all your videos and podcasts. Sometimes I watch you on my living room tv and my dad is in the BG and says “is it Julia time?” He likes watching your videos with me!! He said to me once “I always hope I can run into her when I’m in Austin so I can say ‘my daughter loves you’ 🥰

[@juliarene]

awww thank you sm!

[@Res123-l1s]

I just finished my workout girl and I want to go back and do some more 😂😂😂

[@juliarene]

hahhaha love it!

[@Uanindita]

Hi Julia, I love your videos. Could you please share your full week of workout routines?

[@juliarene]

Yes!!!

[@alexandrepratte5707]

yo i just discovered your channel love your energy

[@juliarene]

Glad you’re here welcome friend🦋🫶🏻

[@AmethystMtzE]

I like the idea of the posing style you are trying out. Walk in, turn hair flip THEN move the arm across instead of in front so it’s almost like two back to back hair flips? You tried it in the video and it seemed like the best option!

[@Lmb077]

omg yess pls do a vid on ur sephora favourites !!

[@juliarene]

Yes!

[@annawasherex]

I like the turn with the hand

[@juliarene]

thank you!

[@ktjj20]

I prefer the hair flipping - not flicking. You have such a bubbly personality!

[@margaretjohnston7320]

Your skin is amazing, wishing I didn't have Rosecea! Thanks for sharing your products. Maybe I need to keep eating clean and my skin will clear up. Bottled water is helping. Thanks Julia. Love your channel.

[@juliarene]

thank you sm!

[@laurendegiorgio9009]

Your burn appears to have cleared up well!

[@juliarene]

yes!

[@lizmaciocio]

[@jeeannaleesalazar5314]

Just here scrolling through videos I missed of yours. I am still so sad. I missed this event. How far in advance do you put out the date for the next one?

[@juliarene]

[@Dutchcathy]

I would like to see tips and tricks on how to sit with your hunger or get distracted from the hunger pains on a cut in between the meals. it’s a struggle for me 😘

[@juliarene]

Great idea!

[@thafeline6671]

Jelly. I wish I could go to the retreat!! 😢

[@juliarene]

Me too:(

[@thevermilionsiren]

I'm so sad I wouldn't make it this year, but NEXT TIME♡

[@analuisaaac]

Try the new Honey milk toner by Farmacy if you love the Fenty toner! Also the hourglass foundation stick and concealer are BOMB ❤

[@juliarene]

oohhhhh I will!

[@TheEmilewatson]

Hey Julia I did not know you did wrestling your intro it's dope girl great video by the way what is next for you

[@adventuresofthegreatbenjam8799]

When I go to the gym I'm never obsessed with how I look AT THE GYM. I did come from a dancing background. Sometimes we get caught up too much in how we look AT THE GYM. Just go - AND DO IT. It makes it easier. Make ugly Gym faces when working out. It helps ! Lol. Gets me in the MODE of "Hey, I'm here to work out"

[@juliarene]

Yes queen!!!

[@adventuresofthegreatbenjam8799]

I try to be King but that never works out. I'll settle for Queen lol. You're the best!!! ❤️

[@adventuresofthegreatbenjam8799]

I just wanted to add I know you like when we share. But I also use ultrasound cavitation I have a handheld one bought right online. They do actually work. Because if I eat carbs my stomach starts to pop. The ultrasound helps it tremendously.

[@michellelabuszewski9816]

I found your little flat hair clips are dollar general/dollar tree by me yesterday lol I bought em 😊

[@juliarene]

That is awesome!

[@michellelabuszewski9816]

@@juliarene what brands of lifting shoes do you wear besides the gorilla wear ones which I absolutely love myself. Those yellow ones that you had on your last video are so cool looking!

[@michellelabuszewski9816]

@@juliarene I was also wondering if you have a preference in a scale that you like for your check-ins that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but is very accurate?

[@Beast_mom]

When you do steady state cardio do you do the stair stepper the whole 40 minutes at what speed? Also I love your videos! You’re such an inspiration 😊

[@juliarene]

either 5-6

What’s the difference between in taste between the creamy coffee and frappe flavor ? I want to order some for my prep 😉 and I love your makeup tutorials ❤❤

[@juliarene]

Frappe is lighter in sweetness!

[@angela4fitness]

@@juliarenethanks !

[@elishajardine3283]

I always know in a cut when I start feeling watery. That means a drop is about to happen.

[@warriorprincess-jw5xt]

What cleansers do you use ? And Toner? Do you use a night time cream ?

[@juliarene]

I’ll do a video on it 🫶🏻

[@melissaann7380]

I remind myself and this resonates with me but won’t be for everyone. Jesus is the epitome of perfection and was/is hated. So if perfection itself is hated why do I have all this pressure to be perfect when in the end it truly doesn’t matter, it will never be enough.
