Rather than an "almond mom", she seems like an "olive oil mum", health conscious but not interested in overly restricting or demonizing food. I like the approach of eating nutrient dense meals, but also making room for chocolate and biscuits to go with her coffee. I'm currently working towards that kind of balance and it's very inspiring. Thank you, Lucie (and mum)! xx

[@Edukalebylucie]

That's the way I see it too! Thank you!

[@sailstomars]

You nailed it with this comment!

[@coconutvanilla7746]

fully agree with this comment, couldn't have said it any better :)

[@soilgrasswaterair]

It’s a similar mindset to the Scandinavian approach to eating and food in general. I was raised in a Scandinavian home and we ate full fat dairy products, home made müsli/granola, olive oil, homemade whole wheat bread, whole grain pasta/rice. Soup and salads for lunch and coffee breaks twice a day with something sweet sometimes (but more a few squares of dark chocolate and never more than 4 squares). Fish twice a week, lean meat, poultry and venison for protein and lts of legumes and vegan/vegetarian Us kids would only be allowed to have candy once a week on Saturdays. The thought is to be full and stay full on homemade meals with no empty calories. No diet products! No skipping meals ever to keep it even and also being taught early on that you eat for fuel and not mainly for taste. Bread is never removed, but it’s rye bread or whole wheat/grain and often with seeds and nuts in it. Fresh fruit and never dried fruit. Processed foods is a no in most Scandinavian homes.

Shout out to your awesome Mum, I'm over 40 and seeing a healthy, vibrant lady with elegant, understated beauty and no artificial anything... it's so welcome ❤

[@GeraldineKoh]

I had to replay n google this… The study found that chopping broccoli into small pieces before cooking it helped maintain its levels of sulforaphane, a phytochemical shown to protect you from cancer. Why? Chopping, thus creating more surface area, allows air to activate an enzyme that promotes the production of sulforaphane.

[@nicoleh.3261]

Your mom is so beautiful and so gracious to allow us this peek into her days ❤.

[@mariamkarjiker301]

I am of your mom's age and really enjoy her balanced attitude to food. Lots of love ftom South Africa ❤❤❤

[@analozada9475]

Too many carbs and not enough complete proteins. These vegan sausages are full of toxic chemicals and low quality ingredients. Definitely not healthy for anyone, but at least she balances it out with the rest of the veggies. But, To each their own.

[@HoaHongNguyen-xg2pm]

Vegan sausages are very bad.

[@jiaheung4628]

I found it strange to see a french person eating fake meat… france is full of the best chicken and grass fed cows hence the high quality butter. Would never touch fake processed meat.

[@thecatsister3040]

I love this video. It teaches us how life can be simplified but still taste awesome. And I love the provence, i wish I can buy home there one day.

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, such a great goal!

[@jguitar23]

Funny how reasonable eating has become so rare. Seems like a nature video, French woman in her natural habitat! Bravo en tout cas🎉

[@annusyapipii]

fake milk, brown rice, no meat T=T what is happening to french people? T=T i love your mom, she's so cute but aside from the cheese and butter, this is very unhealthy T=T

I know I mean what are fake sausages? Give me some real grass fed meat anyday not processed fake food.

@@jiaheung4628 exactly! :9

[@MiaK06]

Don’t know about anyone else but must have watched this little video so many times. Every time I need a bit of a reminder of what proper healthy balanced eating looks like, I gravitate towards it. Just love it. This to me is the picture of health, balance, common sense and just sheer enjoyment of good food!

[@debrasams2362]

I absolutely loved this video!! I want to come eat with your mom. The dishes she prepared look so good. Thanks to both of you for inspirational cooking ideas.❤😊

Aww thank you so much!❤

[@DonnaJoshi]

I really enjoyed this video. Your mother is beautiful and what a great figure you both have. I love how simple and homey this video is. I was wondering if you both have always been vegetarian? My husband's parents are vegetarian. His dad is 90 and his mother is 83. Have a blessed day!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much! I've been fully vegetarian for about 7 years, I was pescatarian for about 3 years before that! And she's been pescatarian for about 10 years I'd say

[@Princess999663]

So many great ideas for meals. Thank you and your beautiful mother. She needs her own channel.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you! And yes I've been telling her that!!

Hello🐧🐧🐧🐕🐶, 🐦 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven.🐎🦓🦓 🐴🐎🐎🐎🥀🌺🌻🌼💐🌸🌸We must receive Jesus sincerely to be God's childJohn 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today

[@tiffanys9493]

Intuitive eating. I’m practicing that now and I’ve noticed my snacking has dropped off significantly. I’m 57.

[@kathrynbellerose6216]

You mom is beautiful. I have always noticed that French women are very stylish and calorie and health conscious. They always look much younger than they are. Oh yes menopause what drove me nuts were the hot flashes and inability to sleep.😊

Aww thank you so much!

[@jeckellstallworth]

Love these videos! It is encouraging to see just how many vegetables she eats, nit in a week, but in a day. As an American, I can certainly incorporate this into my lifestyle. Thank you for sharing 😊❤

[@PippaRose1]

I love this video so much ive watched it twice. Informative but not pretentious like other 'what I eat in a day' videos

[@PennyPowell-fr9ec]

Hi! I'd love to know what your mom does in between cooking and eating. What are her hobbies, and her job? Thank you.

[@lisahooper7578]

I love seeing seeing your mom! I'm her age and she inspires me. She's so nice, pretty, smart and healthy! Tell her hi from Colorado, USA! ;-)

[@juliamuigg3116]

Absolutely love these videos! They are so relaxing. I think your own recipe book would be an amazing resource - not just individual recipes, but showing how to take that recipe and turn it into a balanced meal. Keep up the good work!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much!

[@Vaness.717]

Abolument parfait , completement en ligne avec cette façon de manger ! A real healthy relationship with food with well balanced meals .. I grew up with this french culture and i am 49 years old living in UK for more than 20 years and still follow this way of eating ! Merci pour partager cela et surtout que cela aide les femmes á enfin se réconcilier avec la nourriture …

[@janecrossley3153]

I am from the UK and love France and French food culture! Like millions of others, so glad we still have French people living here too🥐☕

[@afroditigreekmom]

Thank you, it is realistic and a doable way of eating. Please thank your mom for making the time to share it with us.

[@pennPi]

Such a good point to listen to your body. I was programmed to always eat breakfast growing up, to the point of forcing myself when I had no appetite. These days I’m trying to break that habit especially when there are studies about the positive effects of intermittent fasting. My natural response is to eat 16 hours from my last meal the night before, but sometimes it is sooner if I didn’t eat enough or exercised.

[@smiffy4ever1]

Wau, this is very inspirational. Your Mum is so sweet. I have been struggling with healthy eating, I start well, but later reach for some unhealthy snacks and this is video has helped me and inspired me :). THANK YOU!!!!

[@mirnaissa4394]

Loved this video!! The burgers looked delicious🤤 Would love to see more vlogs of your daily life!❤️

[@JiZd-xj1ok]

cut broccoli at least 30 minutes (at approximately at 4.44 in video) before using/cooking to get all the benefits of the sulfurates . . . do tell! have never heard of this before

[@BarbaraLong-q2h]

Was she cooking in France or America? It looked very American with all the packets.

[@jiaheung4628]

All the fake meat and processed proteins too and most people cannot eat all that bread especially after menopause. Depends on the person if they have a fast metabolism but I wouldn’t be able to eat all those carbs and would never touch fake meat.

[@UncleMikeDrop]

[@asztaloseva2716]

According to this, it's just a legend that French women don't snack. By the way, in your opinion, what's the difference between dessert and a snack? Is it just the consumption time? What type of cookies does your mom have with coffee?

[@brajbarsana16]

Where's the main home? I'm guessing France?

[@jiaheung4628]

Looked really unappetising. Loads of carbs and fake meat.

I’ve watched a few of these and have noticed or mom seems to not eat much meat. Is she pescatarian?

[@aysenuri2419]

I love her posture

[@rosaliep2860]

Love how slowly she cuts vegetables. Maybe it was for the video but I’m French too and I always take my time to cut and cook, which makes my own mother, who is German, quite crazy 😂 I grew up in France and I obviously picked up on this very slow life concept, I love watching it now, it’s very relaxing !

[@nerddom-square]

These videos are wonderful because Americans have forgotten how to eat real food. Everything is about being fast, convenient, and mostly unhealthy and full of saturated fats. So, from an American looking for better ideas, thank you!

[@SeaTurtle515]

Not all Americans. I and all my adult children and many, many of my friends, eat like this. We all enjoy clean, real, mostly organic food and we love to cook and eat together. Maybe it’s my italian heritage, but good food is very important to us.

[@nerddom-square]

@@SeaTurtle515 That's great. I was speaking more towards the general population. Around 42% of American adults are obese.

[@SeaTurtle515]

@@nerddom-square Yes, I agree. There is a movement in some parts of the country for getting back to eating whole, non processed foods and sitting at a table enjoying it with others. But true, America overall eats very poorly. My cousin moved to Italy a few years back, where our grandparents are from and she absolutely loves the whole eating experience there. I would love to visit southern France some day.

What a pleasure to see someone eating healthy food. So many people now eat just fried foods. eg fish and chips. The only item I would not eat is egg plant. I had some on a trip to Germany and thought it tasted like mothballs. Perhaps it was how they cooked it. Loved this video ❤

Sorry to say this but the variety of food that I have experirnced in France is limited /been living there for 10 years having a french husband /but it's true that they have the best bread and wine but still waiting for something extraordinaire.

[@FunnySpruce]

Your mom is around my age. I love seeing what a French mom eats.. I feel like here in the USA there is too much processed foods. I love salads, fish, a handfull of almonds and dark chocolate. (NOTE: expected to hear French music...too American for me.

[@JiZd-xj1ok]

Did your mom in any way cook the butternut squash, *cook before* cooking it to make cutting easier? The one time I tried to peel it to use in a recipe I cut myself and it was almost impossible to shave/peel the butternut. What kind of knife is she using

[@JimCarner777]

8:20 Do those massive tomatoes actually taste of anything? Here in the UK the larger the tomatoes the more bland they are (we have large tomatoes called beef tomatoes, but they look tiny compared to the irradiated tomatoes you have in the south of France). The best-tasting tomatoes imo are small ones like cherry tomatoes, baby tomatoes, plum tomatoes, etc.

Do marriages last better in France than in many other countries?.. or how do french women have time for all the beauty work, taking care of themselves, cooking fresh food everyday etc? Or do many of them have an extremely good, well-paying work place where they can do short workdays? Certainly I don't mean to offend, I admire and envy this life style!

[@cwednesday]

I think that our divorce rate is only a little better than in the US. We don't spend as much time grooming as women in the States, in my opinion (I've lived in both places). We do less makeup, less nails, less hair, etc. Our work days are long, but we have more vacation time and better boundaries with set lunch hours for example.

Congratulations on the second home! Did your mom retire from teaching? I have been teaching for 27 years and will retire (God willing) soon! I'm looking into possible relocation...south of France! Still checking out locations. Love your beautiful mom's way of eating. I'm 57 and struggling with keeping the weight in check. I tend to snack too much. I will follow along for these two days. Question about the rice: Brown takes much longer to cook...so how to cook them together? Great idea, btw! Keep the WIEIAD with mom...or just you...coming!

[@dawnwalus6587]

Hello! About the rice... My guess is that if it's instant rice, they are all made to cook in minutes, so there shouldn't be any time difference between brown and white rice to be ready. Have a good day!

[@mariaiacona133]

Is your mother vegetarian?

[@xassy]

Salut Lucie, Great video! I love these types of videos, and it's wonderful to see your mom supporting your channel. I have a few questions, if you don't mind. Firstly, I'm curious about how many calories a day she consumes (approximately). The portion sizes seem small, but as a good French lady, it seems she doesn't shy away from incorporating fats into her diet. Additionally, I'm wondering if she gets enough protein and calcium. As you here currently there is an emphasis on protein intake. Another question I have is whether she indulges in pastries, cakes, or wine during the week, or if these are reserved for special occasions. Lastly, I'm curious about her water intake throughout the day. Thank you!

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad you liked the video! She doesn't count her calories and it also varies throughout the week, she does have some wine on the weekend or for special occasions, as well as pastries etc. She drinks a lot of water, it's her main beverage, and yes I think she gets enough protein and calcium :) Thanks for watching!
