10 Nutrition Habits That CHANGED MY LIFE

[@rachealhancock8577]

Thank you for all these tips! I’ve been hearing a lot about the carnivore diet lately. Do you have any specific insight or opinions on this?

[@glowbodypt]

Do you have an autoimmune disease? Diabetes? If not, I HIGHLY recommend steering far away from a Carnivore diet, or even the "less restrictive" keto diet. You would a)end up micro nutrient deficient in multiple areas because of lack of vitamins and antioxidants from a wide array of produce. b) the body is supposed to eat chlorophyl (all your greens!), anthocyanins (purple fruits/blue fruits), carotenoids (oranges/yellows like carrots, squash, potatoes, bell peppers) to fight free radicals and reduce inflammation ---> these fibrous veg scrub out your digestive track daily c) likely set yourself up with heart or blood issues from overconsuming saturated fat depending on meat choices, or too much sodium or excessive processed meats which are carcinogenic in higher quantities.

[@rachealhancock8577]

Thank you for taking the time to respond and give your insight! I definitely value it!

[@elsie549]

@Rachael Hancock hi there! Hope it’s ok for me to share a different perspective here. I highly recommend the carnivore diet. There are many misconceptions out there about this way of eating, but I have read several books and done years of research on it. This is ancestrally actually the most appropriate way for a human to eat. Humans were not foraging for salads 2000 years ago. Fat and protein are essential nutrients. Carbohydrates are not. Plants have toxins, some more than others, and this is why thousands of people who were overweight, sick, diabetic or overall just feeling unwell are feeling their best eating carnivore or meat based. Meat and animal foods are absolutely the best and most bioavailable way to get appropriate micronutrients. You can easily Google the micronutrients in spinach vs carrots vs an Apple vs beef liver or even ground beef just as an example. You would be totally blow away by the micronutrient panel of muscle meat or organs vs ANY plant. Look up Dr. Ken Berry here on KZbin, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Paul Saladino. There are many others. These are just a few food resources. Eat “the animal rainbow” as they say, get plenty of Real Salt and water and you will thrive. The theory about saturated fat clogging arteries has been debunked, and even the ADA and AHA have quietly changed their guidelines in this area. Ancel Keys did a study in 1958 called The Seven Country Study where he cherry picked much data to suit his theories. It was very corrupt, but the US government pushed his research and used it to promulgate this idea that saturated fat was the enemy. You can see the result of this shoddy and fake research when you look at our population and see so many sick, overweight and type II diabetic people. Inflammation, sugar, copious carbohydrate consumption and seed oils are the driving force when it comes to heart disease. You can do a pubmed search and find this there. Best wishes! You can find the info about Ancel Keys also easily available if you do an internet search.

[@elsie549]

@Rachael Hancock Judy Cho is also a wonderfully knowledgeable resource regarding all of this. She has a lot of KZbin content and an excellent book called Carnivore Cure. Can’t recommend her enough…also, I’m not saying all plants are bad, and you can’t eat them, but our diet should be ancestrally appropriate and the proper human diet, centered around nutrient dense animal products.

I love these tips! I struggle with coming up with healthy snacks for the kids that are also easy. I would love to see a video on what healthy snacks you give to your kiddos!

[@sarahr7279]

Hi Ashley! Sweet potatoes are my weakness! Would you consider doing some salad/cooking videos? Your salads looked so good! I use your smoothie recipes all the time. Your channel deserves way more subs. Keep going girl your channel is awesome!

[@hollyparker9456]

Love this! You are so knowledgeable and motivating! I second the video requests on healthy kid snacks and your yummy looking salads!

[@nicolelamb2472]

all the meals you are showing here, especially the salads look so delicious

[@carriegifford4682]

Such simple concepts but I needed to hear them! I might even put them on a mug so I can think about them each morning. Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@dilektarm7598]

Thank you Ashley! These tips are very useful.

[@karenannkelly8836]

Great stuff Ashley! Thank you! Loved the snack scheduling idea with kiddos!

[@Faithfulsophie]

This is so interesting! I love the peanut butter tip!

[@amandaking7461]

Excellent content! Helpful tip for others: If you are a cute coffee mug lover like me (my collection of Disney coffee mugs is truly absurd, especially since I am the only coffee drinker in the house), use mugs as your “small bowls”. Nothing like eating a small serving of cereal or ice cream with Minnie Mouse or Belle staring at you ;) Takeaways for me: 1) treat meat as a side...that’s a great tip for mindset shift! 2) one kid snack per week...I usually provide an array of options, and I’m blessed with a little eater who will often choose peppers and cucumbers over chips. So why do I buy so many snacks that tempt ME more than my kid? Great challenge, Ashley! Thanks!

[@refilweB]

Thank you so much Ashley this is solid advice. I need to so much help. I’ve just had my baby 8months ago I’m struggling to find balance and lose the weight and eat healthy I’m so glad I found your channel.

[@glowbodypt]

I'm so glad this was helpful for you. This feeling of frustration (and honestly, defeat) does NOT have to last much longer. It will not be your forever! I'm tacking you had your baby 8 months ago -- was this your first baby? Are you breastfeeding right now? What are you doing for exercise lately?

[@rutherfordfarm3430]

Love this! So helpful and encouraging! When I have incorporated specific eating times, like you mentioned, I have had the best results. It aslo helps my kids too!

[@lizmaus8261]

Just blew my mind with “only buy one kid snack a week!” It seems so obvious-if we don’t have it, they can’t eat it- but I never thought of it. YES!

[@RoyalDiadem23]

Thank you for this great video! I love the tip about ratios of food. I don’t eat meat but it’s still very applicable. Thank you!

[@glowbodypt]

You are so welcome!

[@saracarter683]

LOVE THESE!!! I do a few already but many I don’t. Super helpful!! ☺️👍🏽

[@katherinevanderveen1669]

Excellent tips!! Thank you for these!

[@laurenschwartz4263]

Great ideas! Plan on trying the pb additions and cutting down on the kids processed snacks for sure

[@nataliefishburn7317]

Thanks so much for sharing Ashley! You inspire me! 💪🙌😁

[@ktgraham406]

This is great! I loved your boys chomping down on the veggies, especially that whole cucumber! What kid wouldn’t enjoy that?😆 Love how practical everything you do is. Thank you so much!!

[@taybarrett2893]

Great tips!! I'm new to your channel and have already learned so much. You are a blessing! Thank you for your service to our country and thank you for being such an amazing example.

[@alexaschulte4982]

Love it! Now I need to watch it again when my kids aren’t around so I can pay better attention and write it all down 🤣

[@AC-iw5mv]

Thank you. Just what I needed. I'm really struggling with my diet right now as a stressed first time mum.

[@marylee7989]

Ty. Girly. I appreciate u!🦋

[@marylee7989]

Ty! Sweetie!God bless u , your family, and your channel!🥰

[@griseldagoytia3209]

I love all your videos!! Thanks for all the helpful tips! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@kadriebehchetova4823]

You are awesome and you deserve at least 500K subscribers! 🍀

[@meganfritz4886]

Thanks, Ashley! Love these tips.

[@AshAddieJason]

My biggest struggle is with the snack train in the evenings, which on the weekend, normally includes a glass of wine. What is your guidance on “mommy drinks?” One thing I do with my kiddos after school and do myself if I feel hungry between meals, is I/we eat one serving of fruit and one serving of vegetables before I allow something with less nutrient density.

[@jennifergallardo6624]

Thank you Ashley! This was super helpful

[@linayarina14]

Loved this video! Thanks! I would love to see more food related videos. Maybe ideas for snacks and what you eat and kids eat.

[@aileenneasman3209]

I love the sign behind you! So true

[@glowbodypt]

thank you- so glad this resonates with you Aileen

[@annegaylord4394]

So helpful! I love the idea of adding seeds to peanut butter. I'm defiantly going to do this

[@glowbodypt]

Really glad to hear this was helpful for you Anne! Start with a smaller amount then work up to more as you get used to it. : )

[@kmyers30269]

Love - one addition for me is waiting until the kids are fed and happy to make yourself (mama) a proper leisurely breakfast that will keep you from falling into waffles , muffins cereal kind of sweet breakfasts you crave if you’re feeling rushed. I just drink coffee until that lull after the kids are happy and fed (not a true intermittent fast type of thing )

[@MissKane1987]

Very informative! Love the tips

[@moon-doggiegaming7302]

I don't know if I am the only one experiencing quiet audio?? I have all volumes on 100% and I'm straining to hear the good tips

[@shannong5902]

Crazy simple snacks your kids eat!! Please 💚

[@christyboyle2570]

Thanks! Great info ☺️

[@BrendaSmith09]

Another awesome video! Thank you 😁

[@BrendaSmith09]

GlowBodyPT Yes, that’s when I am able watch my videos without interruptions lol.

[@marcelitanava]

Please do a video on how you got your lean body back after post pregnancy! :)

[@dariana4247]

I love to see all of these in one video! I've been challenging myself to transition our family to eat more "G-bombs" foods. The recipes in your programs have help with these and some we have weekly.

[@palmnailsbeauty]

Thank you mama for the info and encouragement! Love your passion in helping others with free content...after getting súper healthy, and then life changes and more babies your channel is so LIFE friendly and super encouraging. These are excellent tips!God bless always💕

[@glowbodypt]

your words mean so much to me, thank you Tamara for your kindness & taking the time to comment!

[@megankilada5631]

Adding chia seeds to my peanut butter right now, thank you for the idea🤗

[@Affix03]

Thanks for sharing these great tips!! I'm wondering if you have advice about intermittent fasting? I've been looking into it lately, but would love your credible opinion/advice. A video on that topic would be awesome! Thanks Ashley!

[@Affix03]

Thanks for your quick reply, Ashley! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on IF. It's such a broad topic and I don't know a lot about it, but I appreciate you sharing your reasons for not doing it. I'm currently doing your 10 minute plan and it's amazing, motivating and I love the variety! Blessings!

[@laurie896]

Ashley - all your food looks so good, do you have a recipe book?

[@KF-hx9kq]

I just purchased her 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan which (thank goodness!) came with a copy of her "Mom Cookbook," and it is fantastic! So highly recommend! Pretty sure you can purchase it individually.

[@caitlindavies4621]

Great video! Some are very practical ideas like buying just one packaged snack each week because let’s be honest I definitely munch on my daughter’s snacks at time. I love how measurable the 2 hour rule is. I am definitely going to implement this! So much valuable information thank you for sharing this! A nutrition topic idea is dairy consumption. There seems to be a lot of noise surrounding dairy would be interested to hear your thoughts!

[@katieb.8782]

Awesome! Just want to say that I have never consistently exercised basically my whole life (I’m 32) and I bought an exercise bike and borrowed some weight from my mom during my last pregnancy (my baby is 9 mo) and I came across your pregnancy workout plan and followed it all the way through and then bought your post pregnancy plan and all of that has started me on a fitness journey that I’m still continuing! So thank you for what you do! My question is, I’ve hit a plateau and I don’t know what to do. Do you have any suggestions?

[@thematernalmethod]

Yes to the limit on prepackaged snacks! Some moms look at me so weird when I don’t have goldfish or granola bars from the store…as I whip out my container of fresh popped pop corn 😅😂

[@Sam-kz3oh]

I get so giddy for your videos! They’re like a little treat after the kids go to bed 😂 Another tip is starting every day with a hearty breakfast. I notice a HUGE difference in my children’s (And my!) behavior when they’re nutritionally full from the get go. Also don’t eat when you’re not hungry, even if it’s “meal time.”

[@Sam-kz3oh]

Okay adding on, I just tried the roasted sweet potatoes recipe.......🤤 Heaven!

[@laurenstine5398]

Love all the tips, especially about buying only 1 pre-packaged snack. I don’t buy much but we usually do have 2-3 in our pantry, so I’ll be cutting back on that. I’m curious what your thoughts on intermittent fasting are?

[@glowbodypt]

Lauren, you're right that 2-3 packaged snacks isn't bad at all! I think where it gets to be an issue is when there are tons of varieties because it gets too tempting to choose chips over a Honey crisp apple, even when the apple is what our body REALLY needs. I am not a supporter of IF for active women who have no health issues and who exercise at least a few days per week consistently. IF is effective at creating a calorie deficit for some, because the eating window is much smaller and it automatically nixes the evening snack-train, but for most it's not sustainable or enjoyable long term. If it is something you are interested in, I recommend trying it for 40 days and see how your energy, brain, motivation, recovery, sleep, and happiness are effected for better or for worse and then you'll be more armed to make a personalized informed decision regarding how your body is optimally fueled.

[@laurie896]

Such a great video👏

[@christyboyle2570]

Great content!!

[@hollywooddothat]

Just wanted to thank you for talking about vitamin A. I did not know it was something to watch for and not over consume during pregnancy. My prenatals from our MTF don’t list out what’s actually in them. My knowledge of “no” foods for pregnancy was just undercooked meats, and fish in moderation. I made myself some fall inspired protein pumpkin smoothies with yq vanilla yogurt and canned pumpkin w seasonings. I realize I need to read up on how much Vitamin A im consuming now. Thank you!!!

[@marystauffenecker4426]

Where can I find some of your workouts and recipes?

[@stayAHthuy]

Love all your tips!! Thank you so much for posting this video and all of your workout videos. I do your prenatal workouts and I get a really good sweat!! 💪🥵

[@sarahkrahn4737]

I know you had mentioned avoiding vitamins because they’re synthetic and wondered what your thoughts are on whole food vitamins derived from actual veggies, fruits, herbs, etc. I guess you could still overeat a certain vitamin with those too. 😊

[@breathewithme2756]

How do you feel about Julice plus? Could we have a conversation? I also wanted to ask when u say more protien then needed do u mean according to the "myfitnesspal" calculator?

[@amandaq7800]

i love the idea of planned snack times

[@Narniaru]

I have never heard of G-Bombs but that's pretty much our main diet! Haha! Thanks for this

[@lizmaus8261]

YES to no supplements! A family member had a vitamin toxicity that started with his calcium levels (no worries, he is thriving now).

[@auroradonez5971]

Why organic onions? My thoughts on onions have always been that we have to peel the layer off and don't remember being apart of the dirty dozen list. Just interested on your take. We have the same nutrition vibe🙃. I let tiredness and stress eating get the best of me. Especially during a 12 hour shift and people constantly offer nurses not so healthy snacks. That magic snack train appears and as the shift comes to a close and stress is high.

[@auroradonez5971]

Oops I was pumping and watching maybe I misheard. So now my question is why organic garlic, lol. I am familiar with getting oranic for fruits and veggies that your eating the skin. What am I missing about the garlic?

[@kellibiles]

Some of those I know/do, but a lot I didn't...Add seeds to peanut butter! Limit processed snacks to one processed per week! GG-BOMBS, Thank you for the tips!

[@Jules-740]

How much protein do we need?

[@glowbodypt]

Unless you have food intollerances, allergies, picky eater or food scarcity, you should not be wasting your time counting macros (including protein, carbohydrates and fat). Instead, aim to consume protein at all 3 meals (non-negotiable in your everyday life) and in a snack post workout, if the timing of your workout necessitates it. If you use any of my programs you'll find the EXACT foods I eat every week, the ones I cook and prepare for my family and what will fuel you optimally for your female hormones and lean body weight maintenance without feeling hungry or deprived.

[@Jules-740]

[@daniellelindstrom7246]

Do you have workouts to specifically melt away love handles? I've had luck losing weight with exercise and portion control but just can't seem to get them to leave me! Lol

[@glowbodypt]

Hi Danielle, I feel for you having trouble with the "love handle" area. What season of life are you in? Pregnant/postpartum/farther postpartum? My 10 Minute Plan is ideal for wildly effective ab & oblique & back training (as long as you aren't immediately postpartum- if you're 2-6 months pp, do my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan FIRST so we can bring the ab muscles back together and be more intact before applying intense intra abdominal pressure to really get intense core training like we do later on in the 10 Minute Plan). The 10 Minute Plan has an entire core series designed to elicit lean tone & definition while combined with a full body approach including cardio AND strength training to maximize EPOC (the after burn from exercise hours later). www.glowbodypt.com/10minuteplan Message me again on a new youtube comment if you have more questions so I can help, or hit me up on IG or FB messenger on glowbodypt so I can help you.

[@Jules-740]

I like how you think! I don't believe in diets either and don't believe in cutting any food group out. Side note unrelated, I don't know if this is your style of talking, but you sound like you're out of breath a little. Not being critical here just don't know if you noticed.

[@glowbodypt]

Hi Jules, it's Ashley. I'm glad some of the things I shared resonated with you. Thanks for sharing that I sounded kind of out of breath in this video -- I think that's just the nature of getting comfortable sharing a lot of information in a limited time window and this video is from several years ago. : ) Here's a video from this past month sharing a real week in my life on Firm30: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raS0i2N5o6uifrssi=nyBFGXTF-jHegm4L

[@Jules-740]

@glowbodypt oh ok. Good! Lol. Yea this has happened to me too. But I also have had breathlessness from pregnancy and also from anemia in the past. I am a new subscriber I really like the approach you have to nutrition.
