Dr. Jason Fung says that snacking is a marketing ploy by Big Food. I'm 51 and when I was a kid, we didn't snack. We had three meals a day and occasionally had a treat (my favorite was Chips Ahoy! cookies). Having a snack before a meal was strongly frowned upon because we were told "you'll ruin your dinner." Parents, if you are concerned about your kids not eating their dinner, stop giving them mid-morning snacks and after-school snacks. Your kids won't starve if you are feeding them a proper amount of natural fat in their diet to hold them over. Also, Pop-Tarts and Toaster Strudels are not breakfast; they are cookies disguised as breakfast and the actual cause of your kid needing a mid-morning snack and an inability to concentrate. Feed them eggs and bacon and maybe a slice of buttered toast. They don't need to eat and drink stuff in your car. They're not going to die. I promise.

[@juliequates9529]

Yep... cutting out my kids snacks made a huge difference... money, health, time! And yes... generations previously weren't snacking

Hey there - I have that exact same t-shirt from the Terrain Race last summer! So cool to see you with yours! I've lost 123 pounds and at 51 I've now done 3-5k races and 2 mud runs. I no longer have high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, or sleep apnea. I've suffered from chronic pain relating to my degenerative disk disease (3 neck surgeries) and was bedridden for years which led to very bad depression. I am happy to have my life back!

Advice from a 61 year old woman. Lose the weight when you are YOUNG, as you know, as you age, metabolism goes down, you lose muscle, then MENAPAUSE. this combination will cause you to barely eat and you must eat healthy. Due to medical issues, I can only walk and swim, nothing else. But it is VERY hard.

[@lilpoohbear653]

you are correct...I am 60 and almost died from covid 18 mths ago...just now getting my life back...then injured my foot. Sheesh. Anywho, I am lifting light weights and staying consistent...I can only do 20 min of walking in place per dau (I started out at 5 min every other day)...I have a foot-nerve injury...anywho...I do what I can and try to consistent about keeping my sugar/carb foods out of my diet...for the most part. I had to stop making excuses. It is difficult...but overeating and not doing any kind of exercise is a recipe for early death. Wish you well...keep moving as much as ya can

[@73cidalia]

The focus after a certain age has to be on protein. Carbs lower.

Thank you. Thank you so much for being so real and giving such a realistic outlook to weight loss. I have struggled with weight my whole life and I feel like every one is giving “quick fixes” that never work or I am given advice that seems so impossible. Like “oh it’s easy, just cut out all carbs, only eat 1000 calories a day and work out for an hour every day.” But thank you for giving practical lifestyle changes and presenting it so judgement free. I love you videos and wanna be like you when I grow up! Lol (I’m 26 still waiting on the growing up to happen!)

Girl! Open up your own gym in your hometown :) and lead your spin classes there too ☺️☺️❤️👏🏼

[@frugallyretired9960]

Great video and story. I was always super skinny until 40. I then finally gained enough to wear a size 6 work suit. At 50 it all went down hill LOL. I had a hysterectomy and shortly after stage 4 breast cancer. So sick since doing strong chemo every two weeks instead of 3 (worked in administration the entire time with Mondays off - wanted my pension so kept going). I hit the wall at 150 then 180 YIKES! I was naturally skinny and could eat anything I wanted until then. Joined a gym and worked out after work probably 3 or 4 days a week and finally lost weight along with watching what I ate. Now - I try to keep it real at around 150 (I'm 65 years old) and eat better. I also had an aortic valve replaced a few years back so that REALLY made me watch my diet and try to at least walk a lot more. Anyway, I may be handicapped due to lung power but am doing really well. My afternoon snack now is coffee with vanilla stevia and half and half - cold or hot - need an afternoon pick me up. Now I watch YOU work out 😀. Cute hair. Have a wonderful week. I know...tmi

Im so sorry hun. Stay strong an dont give ever give up.

Frugally Retired You go girl! 65 is the new 40!

[@seanservo3105]

It's being super active. That's the only time I've ever dropped weight. And I've done it several times. Would swim if I had my own pool, loved it as a kid. But always walking in my case--walking to class, walking to work, walking to breakfast/coffee, walking for an hour with no real goal other than to keep moving lol. I prefer having a destination. I've tried stationary/indoor machines and they're not my thing. Not even OMAD drops weight for me if I'm home all day. I have to move. My metabolism is junk lol.

[@EmmyJay33]

Absolutely love your channel! As a fellow “retired” athlete I can definitely relate to the learning curve that comes with not having workout programs/practices to go to. I played softball in college and after I retired I gained A LOT of weight because I didn’t adjust my nutrition/eating habits to match my decreased activity level. It was a lot of work to get back to where I was but I learned a lot about nutrition so that was good :) keep up the awesome videos!

[@thriftedbytracy]

Just watched this video and found it so inspirational. Bless you for making it. I now realize, it is all about how healthy you eat (not just Keto) and lots of moving. Plus, you have helped me discover 310. I think I will be putting in an order with them shortly. One more thing, you are so adorable and funny! Love it!

[@BrittBerryStrawberry]

I saved your video to watch on the exercise bike now! I need to lose 30lbs+. Thank you for this video today! Would love more exercise videos!

[@karenm7433]

I gained weight in college too! 20 pounds! I blamed the lack of a scale and a full length mirror. I grew up on a farm, worked in a restaurant, and played sports. Then went to college in the frozen tundra where my activity dropped

[@holdenerfamily7921]

I’ve healed from 11 pregnancies. I’m your same size. You’re totally right. I homeschool 7 children, I gain weight when breastfeeding then afterwards I still lose the weight. You can, too! Don’t snack, cook your meals and make sure your doctor checks your hormones.

I love the "don't eat stupid" advice. I'm doing my first Whole30 just to give my body a reset and retrain my body to eat real food. I am at my heaviest non-pregnant weight ever and I'm almost 2 years postpartum so there's really no excuse now. I definitely had been eating stupid before! I really do believe the majority of weight loss comes from the kitchen. Exercise just helps tone whatcha got. Thank you for sharing about your weight loss journey. You're about an inch taller than me so you're a good gauge of where I could be (although I know our body composition is different). Happy New Year!

[@Pickles375]

Do you like the Whole30? I need to reset my body and lose this weight!

@@Pickles375 it's not meant to be a weight loss diet but it is a great reset for healthier eating habits. I've enjoyed it so far (I'm on day 24) but I'm ready to be done and move into more intuitive eating

[@Kiterpuss]

Whole30 is an elimination diet to identify food sensitivities, not a weight loss diet or a body cleanse. You should consult your doctor beforehand because you can quickly run into nutrient deficiencies. It takes closer to 3 months total to expose yourself to each potential trigger food one by one.

[@aprilshomeandgarden]

I only recently started watching this channel. Sometimes she inspires me and sometimes she makes me feel like I suck. She's great with money, with food, with exercise, with parenting, etc. But getting up at 5 am exercise made me realize she is just one of those people with limitless energy and probably ADHD or something like that. She's definitely got an athlete's body and brain. You win! You win! Not necessarily bad but her brain works differently and I could never do what she does. I still like her though, lol. And she does a KZbin channel! Geez, lady, take a nap. All love.

[@Sleepygirllifestyle]

I lost about 40lbs on keto without exercise, but for me it just wasn't sustainable to watch my carbs to that extent. It wasn't so much the junk that I missed, but the fruits and veggies that were considered to have "too much carbs." Even though I looked healthier, it didn't really feel healthy for my body or mind. I gained the 40lbs back. I'm not going to lie, I've been wanting to watch this video for awhile now and I'm glad that I did. I love how you simply said "don't eat stupid" as well as the advice to just move your body everyday. I think I make weightloss scarier and harder in my head than it has to be.

[@cconroy1677]

It’s so funny, fruit has never stopped tasting yummy. But I swear all the boxed and bagged junk tasted sooo much better when I was a kid. I could barely decipher the flavor of a canned frosting last time I bought it. Made dropping it very easy lol.

Loosing weight is tough for me sadly, I don’t eat a lot of “junk” I try to fix healthy balanced meals for my family, as my kids like to say “you don’t buy food, you buy ingredients” 😂. I know I need to move and exercise more, but exercise is tough with a fused ankle and needing low impact exercises to prevent pain in my fused ankle.

[@julietmarlowe5661]

Try downloading a free chronometer app. My key to being in control of my weight, is getting the nutrients my body needs. At first I was so shocked at how little, fibre, iron, calcium & overall protein, now I meet the targets and never hungry. I find I put on weight when I eat food without nutritional value. The app. Also doesn't require exercise to lose weight. Good luck.

I enjoy your videos. But, in this video, you were stepping up past a 90-degree angle on the box. I use to teach aerobics years ago when the STEP exercise was invented by Gin Miller. I know Gin and the inventors of the STEP. I use to step up on the highest box. Until I was told that I would be hurting my knees by going over a 90-degree angle. Please stop. If you don't believe me please ask a certified trainer or an Aerobic Instructor that is ASCM certified.

Sorry cause I know this video is from January but how did you deal with peer pressure? The hardest thing is setting yourself up for success and then someone offers you some CHEX MIX or something and you just can't say no because you like Chex Mix and also you don't want to feel like a loser saying no, you don't eat junk like that or no thanks, you have a mango for lunch.
