Dietitian Reviews Old What I Eat in a Day Wedding Diet

In another edition of What I Eat in a Day Review, because of popular demand, I'm going to review my own What I Eat in a Day video that I posted a few years ago back when I was getting married.
I have moved on from cold brew because it upset my stomach and now prefers espresso.
I stopped using protein powder and anything with artificial sweeteners when I got pregnant. I still love sour cherries after a workout because they help to reduce muscle soreness. Because I was working out a lot back then, I was paying close attention to her protein intake post workout and aiming for 20-30 g postworkout.
I have since figured out a way better way to get protein into oats with something called PROATS. You can find my favourite PROATS recipes in THE MINDFUL GLOW COOKBOOK here www.abbeyskitc...
I can’t believe how many vegetables I was consuming and now would probably split that amount into two meals.
I now go for the highest fat Greek yogurt because it’s more satiating and less sour.
I still love almond butter and loves it as a topper for celery, toast, oats, ANYTHING.
I am still a huge fan of cottage cheese but recently Ive been snacking on things that are a bit more fun like an ice cream bar, popcorn or mini muffin.
Based on the macronutrient distribution, Abbey was consuming a low carb, higher protein diet.
Here’s what Abbey likes about her pre-wedding diet:
Variety, Accessibility, Antioxidants and Fibre.
How has her diet changed?
Not restrictive or calculated - I still find my wedding diet evidence of diet culture and wellness culture
She still eats a lot of veggies, but not that much!
Abbey eats more plant based.
Abbey batch preps more.

[@firstclassstupid97]

@@AbbeysKitchen those changes often go very slow. A lot of people eat like shit and feel like shit without realising the connection or just ignoring the connection because they are just addicted to junk food. Intuïtive eating only truely works if we didn't live in an environment with so many foods that are specificly engineerd to be as addictive as possible. Today "mindfull" eating is the closest you can get. It is easy to crave all sorts of unhealthy foods but you need your mind, your knowledge, to know that maybe you crave it, but it will not make you feel good. Another point, you can be vegan without feeling restricted and it being an all day topic of thought.... I do love your video's, I'm just a bit sceptic with intuïtive eating and the bullshit I see going around in the fat acceptance movement.... Personally I am transitioning into veganism (no way am throwing away perfectly edible food that is already in my house...)(also, meat and fish and everything will be a specialty thing, though I will not prepare it myself) and I eat mindfully. I am roughly aware of what a good portion for me looks like -so no several handfulls of nuts "because they are so healthy" but just a small palm full- but I don't count calories or macro's. A lot of people need to first learn what good amounts and good foods are before they start IE/ME. I would be interested to see your thoughts on the obesity crisis and the fat acceptance and health at every size movement. Sorry for this rambly message, it is unnaturally hot where I live and it is really taking it's toll on me...

[@Amy19959]

@Maj Hill food is just food, your body will naturally crave what it needs if you give it the chance and listen

[@Amy19959]

@Maj Hill I'm referring to your comment that food is a product. Food is simply food- it really doesnt need to go any deeper than that. When you remove morality from food and quit shaming yourself for eating things that we've deemed "bad", your cravings for these things naturally decrease. People who eat intuitively arent out here eating hot cheetos and donuts all day. But if you're craving "junk food" then it's likely your body needs some easy calories, carbs, fat, salt etc. You can choose not to eat the cheetos but it's important to give your body what it's really asking for (the underlying need for calories, carbs etc). By all means, choose whatever nutritionist you want and eat on your own terms :). I'm just speaking on what works for me and my clients

Cw warning weight gain specifics I went wedding dress shopping after i had gained 50lbs in 2 months because of a medication i was on. So i was bigger than i had been in a while. My mom was obsessed with this idea that i would just "drop the weight" once i was off the meds. But i knew that that may not be the case and THATS OK. So i ordered a dress in the size that matched my measurements on that day. I didnt lose the weight in the next 6 months before the wedding. My dress fit me perfectly and i felt so gorgeous. Im at my "bigger size" but i can love myself here too. My husband does.

[@RampagingChipmunk]

I’m curious about your philosophy towards intuitive eating. To me, it’s hard to recommend it as a general strategy because due to the omnipresence of junk food, most people will intuitively eat terribly unhealthy. It’s like one needs to have an existing good understanding of nutrition and also not have a palette programmed towards the Standard American Diet for intuitive eating to work.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Rampaging Chipmunk it takes time but it’s also about giving yourself permission to enjoy said “junk” without judgment. Also what’s your definition of it “working”? Weight loss? That’s not the intention

[@RampagingChipmunk]

I define “working” as allowing a person to maintain a healthy weight and get the necessary intake of vital nutrients. Intuitive eating can certainly work for that, but our culture’s food is not designed to encourage healthy consumption. Food companies design “junk food” (Which I’m defining as highly palatable high calorie food with low nutrient density) to encourage us to eat way more of it than needed and that food is the most visibly advertised, most readily available, most convenient, and often the cheapest. That situation doesn’t lend itself to the occasional usage that is harmless like your pizza example in the video. It leads to chronic intake in larger than healthy amounts at a higher frequency than is advisable. I’d even say that people usually don’t even think about it when they eat such foods which itself could be considered eating intuitively as I implied in the first post. This gets back to my initial point that one needs to understand nutrition and not have the previously defined “junk food” as the basis of ones diet for intuitive eating to work. Unfortunately, given the distressingly high percentage of the American population that is overweight or obese, I don’t think most people meet those criteria. Most people aren’t eating a generally healthy diet and as such, I don’t know that intuitive eating is something they should be advised to do. First, they must be educated enough on nutrition so that they are capable of making good food decisions at all. That may lead to a degree of restriction by default since more knowledge will probably cause people to want to reduce their intake of “junk food” from where it was before, but I guess it doesn’t necessarily recommend restriction either; it lets people decide for themselves. Hmm. In any case, I’m out of time. Thanks for the response and keep it up with the interesting content.

[@elizabethgraceb]

i personally can’t eat intuitively because if it were up to me, i wouldn’t eat, because the meds im on suppress my appetite as a side effect. it makes it really hard to get what my body specifically needs. i’d be interested to know if there’s s way around that

[@thenellierose]

Not to mention people with weight issues, health issues, or hormonal and metabolic issues who might actually need to restrict. I do have a decent understanding of nutrition and feel I can eat intuitively at this point, and in relation to my goals, but I agree that's it's not advisable without context. Even in her prior video she was doing things like low fat yogurt that she doesn't do now (and I personally wouldn't advise). People make worse decisions just as innocently but I guess maybe they're not her intended audience...?

[@pipersisk3966]

[@ffionalexandra8898]

Paige's Baking Adventures but the total calories for the day = 100% of the daily calories, and so all contributors to the 100% of daily calories should add up to 100% of the total calories aka total calories for the day surely?

[@laceywickersham8150]

I'm guessing it's the percent of her daily value calories, so she maybe ate more calories than were scheduled for that day in the app. Not sure though.

[@Elgatoconbolso]

@@emcvirtues that's not how math works. 2300 kcals= 100%, so 37%= 851kcals, 35%=805kcals, 33%=759kcals. If you add 851+805+759=2415kcals which is 105% of 2300.

Re: Sweeteners: What's your opinion on stevia vs aspartame? I'd like to know an expert opinion on the matter, since I don't have to use either of them, but my dad's diabetic and insists on buying aspartame, and I kind of think stevia is better but I could use a definitive answer. Help me win the argument! Or not. Lol

[@alexiazamora3500]

Yesssss!! I think Stevia would be better too, but a doctor once recommended diet beverages to a family member that was pre diabetic and those are mainly aspartame.

[@arianacorrea6576]

Stevia and look into monkfruit. It’s supposed to not spike your insulin like at all. Very low glycemic. But a warning if you buy any sweetener from the “In the raw” brand it’s mixed with regular sugar so be careful.

[@saraashkir5793]

stella Hello, I work in a food flavoring company and we use sugar substitutes quite a bit. From what I’ve learned from my supervisor and a bit of research, neither is harmful. Aspartame is artificial, while stevia is natural. The thing is, stevia has a terrible aftertaste to some people, so it may be that your father prefers the taste of aspartame, and if he had to use stevia he would be tempted to go back to sugar or he’d be miserable. I’d ask him and see. I would also suggest trying other natural, non-caloric sweeteners. Someone mentioned monk fruit, also called luo han. That stuff is pretty good at adding sweetness, but it does have more of a candy taste like fructose, rather than a pure sugar taste. Thats fine but it just depends on preference. There’s also erythritol, which does have calories, so it might spike insulin slightly, but wayyy less than sugar would. 1 g of sugar has 4 calories, while 1 g or erythritol has 0.24! Ik calories don’t seem like a big concern but that’s how you’ll know how they affect blood sugar. Erythriol is less sweet than sugar tho, so you’d have to use about 2x the amount of sugar. I’d talk to a doctor and make sure it’s safe for a diabetic since it does have a few calories.

[@kristinabryan3529]

stella aspartame is not the best but be aware of stevia and how it can cause mental and muscle fatigue in some people (not very talked about)

Thank you so much for addressing that restriction doesn’t have to look like restricting calories. That it can mean falling into wellness culture and restricting enjoyable/fun foods in order to stay “healthy”. I have a hard time explaining to people that someone can eat a calorically accurate amount for their body yet still be restricting because they are choosing food because of what they think they should eat, not what they actually feel like having or what their body is asking them for. Wellness culture is just diet culture and it’s so hard to explain that to people but it’s really messing up our ability to eat intuitively!

Restrictive diets really do mess up the way you perceive food. I used to eat HCLF when I was younger. It wasn't good at all. I became orthorexic. The breaking point was when I found myself trying to compose a mono meal out of raisins, crying in the kitchen because my bananas weren't ripe enough to eat... Since then I've started eating more intuitive, and I feel so much better. Food gives me joy now. I can eat fat without getting anxious about it. I can add salt and garlic to my meals without worrying. And most importantly, I can share a meal with friends and family. Restrictive diets really do alienate you from the people around you. ...and also, you should get some baby latches/locks for the drawers 😉

Please review Natacha Oceane (intuitive eating and I think she eats 2800 calories a day) and high carb Hannah (vegan, high carb low fat and they live off grid).

[@anniebananiabc]

I’d also bereally interested in a Natacha Oceane video. I’m concerned about how she can be eating intuitively when her diet is so clean and she’s so aware of her calorie intake. It doesn’t seem to fit the principles of intuitive eating.

[@The.Caroline]

Anneliese Hogan I really like her and the way she encourages people to eat well and enough, and build muscle. I’m not a dietitian at all though, so I’m curious what Abbey thinks of her intuitive way of eating!

[@Bonnie-sd7et]

How many grams of carbs were in this day? Doesn’t seem high fat at only a third of the calories. When I saw the zoodles I had ptsd flashbacks to raw veganism 😆

Well oatmeal really has no flavor like rice and potatoe. I can see how you can make it savory. You can also make leftover rice sweet (rice pudding)

[@sjc4]

@@Amanda-ev3lg logically I know that's true, but the one time I tried to make savory oatmeal I gagged like a picky 3 year old. Mental block I guess.

I make oatcakes every once in a while... I'll mix one egg with oats (enough so that the egg is basically holding the oats together), pinch of salt, cinnamon, then cook in a nonstick pan with a small pat of butter for flavor. Serve with fruit and a touch of maple syrup.

[@sunshiness8948]

I was so busy before my wedding that I didn't have time for dieting or a special workout... I just did my usual... But as you mentioned, when there's a wedding coming the pressure is on!!! I used to get so many mean comments that were so hard for me to get through because I've always dealt with EDs. It's awful that us, women are shamed and criticized instead of being just happy for us because there's a special day coming up.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Sunshine Sanz totally

[@ItzReesieCup]

So my favorite thing is to make oatmeal and add sautéed kale, season with salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder (also a splash of liquid aminos if I really want salt), and then top it with a fried egg. I hate sweet breakfast but oats are so healthy, so this is my go to!! Really well balanced and gets me going in the morning (and you get a runny yolk)

I just found out I'm really deficient in Vitamin D. I have been feeling horrible (relentless fatigue, body aches, headaches, etc.) , and my therapist recommended I get it tested. My doctor didn't even want to do it, but I am so glad I pushed for it. It was pretty damn low. Vitamin D is so important to feeling good and functioning day to day, and so many people are deficient and don't know it. Definitely supplementing is a good idea for a lot of people.

[@harmonicaveronica]

I use whole eggs in my oatmeal! The yolk doesn't make it savory, it makes it custardy! One of my favorite versions used finely shredded carrots and a little cream cheese and honey (and spices like cinnamon and ginger) because it tastes like carrot cake. Not sure how it compares to carrot cake nutritionally but it probably has less sugar and definitely has more complex carbs. Still, not exactly a weekday breakfast because it takes a bit more time

Lol I misread the title and spent a good half of this video thinking that this was your WEDDING DAY diet and was soooo confused. Like, I'm all about being non-traditional I guess, but I thought that was a really interesting wedding day... and in addition thought "wow, she's doing all that AND getting married that day?"

[@Dstone3314]

Can you make a video on spacing food out/ eating every 3 hours? In this video I notice you pretty much ate every 3 hours . When I *purposefully * eat this way, I feel so much better in terms of actually giving my stomach time to get hungry and i dont get as bloated. I like feeling physical hunger. And eating anything I want or crave, yet mindful portions. I've been experimenting with food for a while now, different diets, timing, letting myself get hungry, trying to be intuitive. It's been interesting and also sad sometimes because as I've gotten older, I certainly can't eat the way I used to but I love food. But with manipulation of my body, which I do find it fun to experiment, I'm currently finding that spacing out my food , every 3 hours having something to eat seems to be my best bet. I'll be 40 in the fall so I do think just aging definitely plays a role but I wanted to add that if you lost a few pounds during this wedding diet, seeing you post the times of eating which were 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm snack or 5pm? Then dinner 7pm, snack at 10pm, to me that's a lot of food but I know why you ate that way, but still, that's all spaced out nicely. I find food such a struggle still because I prefer to eat when I physically feel the hunger and these days, every day is different. So i would love to see a video all about timing of meals. Thanks ! Love your videos. 💜

[@KristanShuford]

I've been trying to eat more intuitively. I want to establish good habits now, because I'm trying to get pregnant and know it is so important for me to be eating healthy then and I have struggled with unhealthy eating habits in the past from binging to super restrictive diets. The problem I run into is that I just crave carbs CONSTANTLY. Like, if I didn't know any better, I would literally eat pasta and bread and tortillas for every meal. Don't get me wrong, I love veggies and fruits too, and I think I am definitely eating enough of them to get the nutrients I need, I just know I am eating an unhealthy amount of carbs and sugars alongside them. Is this just a bad habit that I need to break. Will I crave carbs less if I eat them less often?

[@AbbeysKitchen]

Kristan Makl you’ll like crave them less if you ALLOW yourself to eat them without guilt
