How I Consistently Stay Fit Working 100+ hrs a week

[@jitske5339]

Faye (3:00) : I've been a cycling girl. I know, it is so not sexy The Dutch: *offended*

[@DrFayeBate]

Honestly I wish we had a cycling culture like the Dutch in the UK 😭😭 I think it would solve so many of our problems 😭😭

Brain over binge book by Kathryn Hanson helped me heal my binge eating, would recommend to anyone struggling with bingeing x

[@Lara.hhh7694]

Brain over binge book and Kathryn and Julie’s course is outstanding.

[@elenadagis215]

[@alexiatychkowsky641]

You know what, I’m not a doctor and I don’t have a high intensity job but I do have problems that make high intensity workouts nearly impossible. I don’t have the ability to do 30 minutes of HIIT or 45 minutes of weight training a day. It’s nice to finally hear somebody say that other kind of movement is acceptable. All you hear now is how lazy you must be for not doing your daily workout. Thank you :)

get your thyroid checked!!!!!!!!!!!!! my energy levels were horrible even doing everything like sleeping and eating well. turns out my thyroid hormones is soooo low

It's so funny to me how other countries view cycling. Here in the Netherlands it's the standard. Everyone cycles everywhere in the cities😂

[@leshawnwilsterman3185]

Echt he😂

[@KrumperFiokas]

Also Netherlands is super flat, is really nice to be able to cycle anywhere 😊 in England not that easy, but now it is becoming more of a thing and some cycle lanes started appearing! But not the same as cycling in the Netherlands (talking from experience)

[@HannahFrostFreespiritedwarrior]

I find having ADHD means I can sometimes go too long without eating and then I’ll crave maccies/other junk because I forgot to eat and then end up binging because the self control has gone by that point 🤣

[@MariaRodriguez-mp4bs]

Me rn. I had to learn to reach for fruits and vegetables. What helps me, is having a variety to choose from.

[@akamepetrova]

amazing video!! just realized that if you can work 14+ hours a day, i can definately study for 5+ hours no matter how much i tell myself it's not sustainable

[@dryevafitness]

Love fitness content from doctors!❤ Exercise and taking care of health/ well-being is the only thing that really changes A LOT. If I have a short workout before my shift (even 24h one) I have way better energy throughout the day. And of course - rational eating choices…😂 sometimes a cuppa and a biscuit is just food for soul🙏

[@annablob]

It took me too long to understand why a 33 minute bike ride meant an hour of exercise 😂

[@sauceland1889]

wait - can you tell me why i’m confused 😭

[@annablob]

@@sauceland1889hahah it’s because you’d have to go there and back 😂 33 mins each way x

I’ve never heard the term sensory satisfaction but it perfectly describes what I have. Thank you for this video, it’s one of the best ones I’ve ever seen and will hopefully help me as a very busy, overweight binger xx

[@reneesuhr6447]

Busy RN here. I love how you implemented the magic stars into your yogurt and fruit! I've always told myself that if I eat what is good for me first, if I am still craving the bad stuff then I can have it. I love your method as it would curb my craving while adding protein or healthy aspects to provide satiety. Thank you! This is my 1st video from you that I have watched and now I have subscribed.

[@Cry4theSun]

Thank you for this video. I’m a nurse and do 12 hour shifts. It is very exhausting. Before becoming a nurse I was going to the gym more often, and usually in there for 1.5 to 2 hours total, doing both heavy weights and cardio. After my workouts, I’d basically be too tired to do anything else for the day. But now with my career, it is SO hard to sustain that. My career is way too tiring for that. Now I’ve realized that you don’t have to do heavy weights or intense cardio to be healthy. I used to also be like “well if I can’t fully push myself, I might as well not work out at all”. Now I’ve realized that ANY movement is better than just sitting at home all day. Even if it is lower impact and less time. I’ve been enjoying going easier on myself. Instead of spending 2hrs at the gym, I do a 50min Lagree class. I like it because I still push myself, but it’s never too much. I also do jogging in my neighborhood, but if I’m too tired then I will walk instead. This has been more sustainable for me. Turns out you don’t HAVE to practically kill yourself in your workouts to be healthy!😅

[@ashleymarie8539]

Yes. This is very true! My dad has been a powerlifter since his late teens (now 51 years young), he’s won a ton of lifting competitions and he will tell you that you do not need to spend hours in gym. He actually advises against because it’s too hard on our bodies and will wear your body out early and cause injuries. He says one hour is more than enough but he usually is done around 40-45 minutes.

[@HK-cp8tm]

Amazing video! I loved your points, for once they didn't feel like a copy and paste of generic points everyone says. New Subscriber!

[@DrFayeBate]

This is such a god tier compliment, thanks so much 🥲🫶🏼

[@NataliaGlebocka]

I needed this video! Always in the mind set that if I’m not sweating I’m not exercising. So when you say just moving like walking if good had literally made me think how many times I laid in bed and I could of went for a walk or done yoga and just moving yet I don’t because I think I need to do a HIIT work out which I hateeee.

[@thatonedog819]

That's only 12 hours left a week without sleep - less than 2 hours a day to eat, get your social needs in, and do your errands and chores. Girl working out should be the last of your worries, you need to figure out your work life!

[@kasnuss]

omg faye this is so relatable. i'm a vet student and i am very busy and my mental health also isn't the best. this has lead to me gainig 10kg since the beginning of vet school and i am starting to escape the binge - restrict - cycle just now. thank you for this.

[@rachelsmyth9854]

I love to see more women in this medical/study/fitness space !! you go girl !!

[@loiseigenraam]

(I am first and foremost absolutely no expert or pro, as I’ve literally only journal consistently for three times now, but…) In regards to journaling, I could never really stick to it and also was always struggling with what to write etc. But I’ve recently started doing it once a week, as a way to reflect on the week etc. and I’ve created a template with prompts you could say and it’s been great so far. Really lowered the expectation bar for myself.

[@adrijapal4008]

Been in a real slump lately so i already know this video is needed haha

[@akamepetrova]

love the video, could you touch on your fitness routine as a student in the past, i think it'll be a big help to students like me tryna balance school, exams and being healthy x

[@ellahighton9907]

Love this advice, but I'm wondering if you still cycle after 12 hour shifts? I'm an NHS student paramedic and most of the time couldn't imagine jumping on my bike after that when I just want to be home, especially night shifts! Thanks!

First of all if you work 100h a week (circa 13h a day) you should think of working less.... i am sorry for you if you spend these 3 hours except sleeping and working on working out

[@liisasivonen329]

Yess 100 hours a week is not sustainable in long term and to me as a finnish doctor that sounds crazy. I work about 40 h a week

[@liisasivonen329]

[@charliebirnie8052]

I really enjoyed this video. I am however in eating disorder recovery and I’d like to make a little nitpick. I think it would be better to move away from value judgements on food. Good food, bad food, healthy food, unhealthy food. Terms like nutritional density are less triggering for me and many people struggling with disordered eating.

[@DrFayeBate]

Not nit picky at all - your experiences are a really important insight and consideration that I should’ve made. I really appreciate this feedback and thank you for letting me know for future 🤍

[@kaymaceachern]

These are really, really smart and sensible tips!! and so simple! love it, faye! :)

[@yaasinnnn]

My takeaways: EXERCISE 1. Time thief: use time you're going to spend anyway and incorporate movement into it 2. Ants in your pants: squeeze in tiny amounts of movement, even fifteen minutes will make a difference 3. Anti-apple watch principle: exercise is not just about the calories! There's so many other benefits to it. The best movement that you can do, is the movement that you can stick to. FOOD Nothing good comes from feeling bad in your own body Balance not only for nutrients, but for satisfaction Don't think all or nothing, you can balance traditionally unhealthy foods with healthy foods WELLBEING 7. The Gold Star: reward yourself for good habits 9. The Gratitude GC: Daily gratitude is proven to improve your mental health, find a way to implement it into your life (even if journalling isn't your thing) Emotional awareness is key to understanding why you're not sticking to your habits.

[@laurenlovesstories]

I live in a city and I will decide whether to walk to my errands or take the bus based on how much I’ve exercised that day, and it’s great! It always feels great to walk and listen to a podcast or music and know I’ve gotten my errands done *and* my exercise!

[@dominikakratochvil860]

“Clinicly overweight”, girl, if that was overweight, every second person is. 😂 All cuddos to you for your hard work, but the way you looked when you talked about your previous self… 😂

[@isobelh7736]

I know this is meant as a compliment but she is a doctor and wouldn’t use that term if it wasn’t true. It’s about clinical evidence and not the look- she looks great either way. Current government stats show that in the UK 64% of people are overweight, so you are correct that every second person is clinically overweight!

Hours of a week: 168. 8h of sleepx 7 days= 56h of sleep. That leave us with 112h for living including meal prep, eat and all essential activities of life. It is impossible that you work more than 100h a week. C'mon people is not stupid

One thing, sorry you think cycling isn’t sexy/attractive but if you enjoy it, it really can be! You may just need to find the right clothes to feel comfortable and a different bike perhaps! I cycle all the time as my main form of exercise and felt awkward at first but once I slowly bought nice clothes to wear and nice bikes I love it so much more now!!

[@sumeyyeakdogan6549]

I wonder if there is a regulation which limits your working hours by settling a max limit cuz what I heard was you need to handover at the end of your work hours so that you can leave, also you can’t assigned for more than 42 hours per week. Are all of them a lie ? 😅

No offense, but you say you don't exercise every day well I'm guessing you must walk a minimum of , 20/30000+steps a day on the wards/A,E which is much more than 90% of the population. Also couldn't agree more on the veg chopper.Game Changer.
