How I lost 40 LBS | What I Eat In A Day Postpartum | Easy, Simple, High Protein Meals Emily Didonato

[@clairedolan9596]

Love that you’re normal talking about weight loss and not trying to be totally pc or lying about what you eat

[@anonym8291]

Would love a video of weekly food prep / extend the video to what I eat in a week, to get more inspiration! :)

[@EmilyDiDonato]

Great idea !!!

[@saralull7063]

I would love these videos more often to you always help motivate me when I’m feeling not inspired lol 😂

[@LiliSusu]

@@EmilyDiDonato I second that! would love to see it too!

[@Ribbitplease]

I agree! Weekly food prep and trying to use up some of the same ingredients but not making the recipes too similar at the same time - because I always have trouble with consuming the entire portion of food from the grocer as so don’t enjoy eating similar lunches etc.

[@LeilanaV]

Thank you Honey 🍯 for this!! I need to drop about 30 to 35 to 32..❤❤❤❤❤ i do not look that heavy

[@cleopatras7488]

Thank you so much Emily for sharing your journey as a mother in such an honest way. I appreciate that you show us how models are just human beings at the end and their body change with pregnancy. It makes us feel good about our bodies and that those changes are normal for all women. So grateful for your content ❤

[@EmilyDiDonato]

Thank you so much!

[@cleopatras7488]

@@EmilyDiDonato you are so beautiful inside and out 😍❤️

[@galaxianumerocinque4978]

Emily I hope you know how valuable it is that you share how much even a Supermodel has to be consistent after pregnancies and your openness about body issues. You are so relatable! And all of this is so helpful for undestanding that getting back to normal really takes time. (btw this is truly heartfelt, it is one of my very few comments 😊❤)

[@yaniskurillev6437]

I would love to see how you pre-cook your food before storing it, and what is your week looks like in terms of cooking and pre-cooking, knowing the fact, that there are kids around, and they are eating also ❤

[@morganhanzimanolis]

I relate to this entirely. I aim for 114g of protein per day - this makes muscle growth easier (feed those muscles). I’m happy that I’m not the only one eating quick, easy, and healthy meals (after I had my two kids I realized complicated meals can take a while). My weightlifting journey has helped reduce the need for complicated meals that weren’t as good for me in the past.

[@kasiowelove1]

„Not my best dressing, but that’s fine” 😅 I love your honesty, you’re the cutest! ❤

[@mbelle221]

Thanks so much for reminding us to keep it simple. Seeing everyone's cooking videos and posts always make me feel like I need to learn how to be a better cook, when the reality is I just don't have the time and there's too many other things to take care of.

Definitely!!

[@sheshitritton7868]

Emily, I’d LOVE to see a kitchen tour, see how you organise your kitchen and weekly meal prep for your family. Absolutely adore your home, been watching your channel for years, so glad you’re back on KZbin! My fave xx

[@kerimys]

I remember the first time I saw you do this. I can never eat my salads without the scissor chop now. I use it for other foods too. The texture of the bite-size pieces makes it a superior eating experience!😀

[@BiancaZachari-q1w]

Please what I eat in a week would be so helpful. I am starting my weight loss journey too. Thank you

[@guesswho2042]

Add salt, pepper and oregano to that dressing too. It's amazing how far a little bit of seasoning goes 😊

[@celeste96656]

That’s such a great idea to have healthy foods already steamed and prepped in the fridge. You look incredible by the way! Thanks for all the advice💓

[@EmilyDiDonato]

For sure!

[@dreamsdocometrue33]

All food is good food. The idea of clean eating is tricky because thats how eating disorders can develop. All food has its place and eating food for pleasure is healthy too.

[@surlespasdondine]

Yes and no. True I also avoid these terms but hyperprocessed food is super unhealthy, no way around it.

[@robertaaukstikalnyte916]

@@surlespasdondine You're right and I wish she'd say unprocessed instead of "clean" because it's more neutral and factual. Specific terms matter and shape your your relationship with eatting.

[@karagermano3079]

So helpful! Thank you so much for sharing, and for being so real and transparent! You had more than just 1 cookie! 🙌

[@michaelahrinco79]

Portion control also really helps ( and I have cheat meals otherwise you will crave curtain foods that you then overeat)

[@wildchildks]

I followed you on IG since your campaign with Calzedonia I believe around 2014? love your honesty 😊

[@spendover]

I first saw you in the Enya video and thought 'Stunning'. The before and after pictures you've added here should I hope give women hope and actually show them reality. Amazing 😉 It does make me feel better, at 50 I'm not what I was... Christ your stunning in Caribbean Blue

[@Zonderzooi]

By the way, your skin looks soooo glowly in this whole video!

[@FP65]

You are glowing. Always love watching your creations in your healthy eating journey. And yes, I’m the sunscreen lady who has posted here before. I do hope you are wearing it on your gorgeous skin. 🙂

[@bethburris689]

Thank you Emily! This is so helpful!! I noticed you didn’t have any fruits or breads. Are you avoiding those? Do you drink half the smoothie and save the rest for another day or do you have all of what you blended? What kind of meat for the meatballs?

[@gaurivasudevan2291]

Love to drip Veggie Straws, Crudite, Sliced Turkey and dip them in cottage cheese or greek yogurt mixed with Ranch Seasoning!!

Yes ❤❤i learned to keep prep vegis steamed in fridge the ones we can eat unlimited!! energy drop weight

[@sgtaneja]

Lovely ! One of my favourite models ❤ Front loading the day with proteins definitely keeps you full, satiated and energized and gets you lean muscle mass along with workouts and some fasting. For supplementation whey protein isolate and creatine do help, although I personally use essential aminos, creatine and electrolytes for hydration and avoid whey altogether and instead opt for hydrolyzed marine collagen. Soft boiled Eggs with yolk are my favourite protein source with fatty fish, chicken breast and lamb being other options. I notice you do not have grains, breads, refined flours, fried stuff, sugars etc which is like great ! Eating a bowl of steamed vegetables ensures you get the necessary potassium, magnesium, phytonutrients and fiber and helps move & clean your bowels and support kidneys while balancing all that protein.

[@catherineokereke6497]

Always love these kinds of videos from you. Would love to see the food prep part, too. And maybe dinner a night when Kevin is home? I remember you used to drink wine sometimes - still doing that?

[@SaygeEvans]

[@LizLyonsPhD]

Looks good and if it works for you, keep going. A little high on protein for my taste but you know what feels right to you. I am a vegetarian so I would likely substitute meat-free sausages, etc. Have you tried sunflower butter? I switched to it from peanut butter and find it just as tasty and lower in calories. I have to watch my calories too (5'6", 112 lbs) so these smaller lo-cal meals make sense for me too. Nice!🤩

SAME! :))) For me the main rule is "not too much" :) Eat chips or whatever you want, but not too much, just for satisfaction of wanted taste

[@sommerpaige9011]

Thank you so much for this! I’m 6 months postpartum and have been hanging on to 20 pounds of baby weight that I can’t seem to drop. I was wondering if it’s not too personal, are you breastfeeding? I’ve read that breastfeeding causes your body to carry an extra 10-15 pounds then once you stop, that weight just falls off. Curious how true that is.

[@carosamperio]

I thinks she doesn’t, she didn’t have the best experience the first time around, so it makes sense she chooses not to and that might make the weight loss process a bit simpler …Similar to you, I am almost 7 months postpartum and I stopped breastfeeding about a month ago, but let me tell you the weight is not falling off, rather quite the opposite 😅 with breastfeeding I was eating more than usual in order to keep my milk supply high, I was hungry alllll the time and I thought as soon as I stopped, I won’t be this hungry anymore … well, I still am 🫢 definitely not as much as I was while breastfeeding but it’s going to be a long process for sure, also hormones need time to balance once again

[@sommerpaige9011]

@@carosamperio oh my gosh, good to know! I keep having this hope that it’ll all fall off once I stop nursing, but I might need to change that mindset 😅 Good luck, I hope your journey goes so smoothly!!!

No I am not nursing. I also still had 15/20 lbs on my 6 months postpartum. It takes time!

5:57 you are better off having the natural fat from the peanut butter in the smoothie, than the hydrogenated oils in this processed food… if you are craving a snack like this, you probable need to eat more protein in the previous meal and that should hold you until your next proper meal. This kind of craving is most probably a blood sugar dip bc you had more veggies than protein in your previous meal (veggies have almost no nutritional value bc its really not enough quantity to actually be nutrituos.. they are just fibrous fillers, which is fine if you have enough protein)
