I Tracked What I Eat in a Week! No Restrictions + Healthy Eating

[@eliisemartaeinpaul2099]

Can we please just talk about how many skills this woman has outside of fitness!? Altering a jumper for herself - no problem! Cooking meals that are all delicious and totally look like they are out of a fancy cookbook - you got it! Running several businesses whilst managing her time and health - killing it! Making me laugh out (way too) loud at least five times in 30 minutes through a computer screen - no effort needed 😎 The list could go on and on and the same goes for Mario. I truly admire your sense of balance, it's sooo reassuring to watch. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration Natacha! sending big hugs xx ❤

and don't forget her tracking all of those calories... I already get overwhelmed when tracking one meal :D

[@baguette184]

somehow I get both inspired and ashamed of myself while watching her :)))) but mostly inspired...sadly it goes away before I actually make a change :))

[@missknisely]

You are literally the only youtuber I can watch chat about food and working out and come out of it feeling really good. I just want to commend you on putting *actual* wellness out there. My brain is so messed up from all of the contradictory and strict messaging it has gotten over my lifetime. But I feel like just hanging out with you and chatting about your process is like having a friend I aspire to be more like. It's nice. So thanks, bud

[@jenniferkaplanski5810]

Agree! I am pretty sure I have tried every food protocol out there and I always end up feeling disconnected from myself. It's so good to finally trust my food choices are the right choices fo me, because it's my body! This is the work I do with my clients for food freedom! I am finding this is so needed!

[@maddie1818]

Agree 100% yesterday I had hit my straw and decided to change something regarding my “diet” (more like lifestyle). After dancing in a very stereos manner, being a pre professional ballet dancer in training- I had anorexia. I then “healed”, by eating only carbs completely excluding protein and fat, crazy I know. Yesterday was my first proper meal after two years of the crap, and I am already feeling much better. I was shaking incompulsory, feeling nauseous, trying not to pass out 24/7, constant headaches, no energy at all, and combating sleep deprivation. Unfortunately my menstrual cycle has stopped for a month, but that’s not on the top of my concern right now 😂 But yeah, I hope that I will start eating like a normal person again. A word of advice: if it sounds radical, then it’s most likely radical. The secret to a healthy lifestyle in diet is eating a bit of everything, and for me I will stick to such macros: 10-30 grams of fat a day (of course things can fluctuate but this is a rule of thumb for me), protein will be the middle ground, and carbohydrates will be my most preferred macro nutrient 😉 Anyways good luck stranger!

[@leanneanderson562]

Congratulations to Lululemon on getting you as an ambasador! Lululemon --- we need Natacha to design a collection (& possibly hand alter the pieces in her living room? haha!) and have it be available for purchase asap please. Also, Mario is just a delight. I love your content so much Natacha, congratulations on everything and thank you for continuing to put out such great, engaging content.

I'm drooling about how good those meals look. Also these WIEIA week videos are my favourites from you so definitely film more!! Makes me happy in a weird way haha

[@aliciaperry2538]

It's really calming to see you eating so healthy and wholesome without meal prepped bento boxes. So nice to see how little effort and stress has to go into that kind of eating! these what i eat in a week also make me realize just how chill ur what i eat in a day videos usually are. it's nice to see the bigger picture of how u fit in (or don't fit in) eating/cooking/training into a workday❤️❤️❤️ thank u for another amazing video

This is exactly what I needed! 🥰♥️ I love your content and your energy! Made my day

[@natachaoceane]

ahh thank you Elissavet!! Sending you lots of happiness your way!! ❤❤❤

[@JASmian._.]

I loved this! I always thought my yo-yoing appetite was strange, but this video helped me realize just how normal AND necessary it is for our body to require those different amounts of food as our hormones and activity levels shift throughout the week.

[@jenniferkaplanski5810]

Yes, and trusting my own hunger signals vs questioning them, which perpetuates the cycle of disordered eating!

[@emmaleerau8184]

I really needed this video today. I have been working through an ed for a while now and I just needed this reminder that your body is the best judge of how much food you need and I don't need to freak out when that fluctuates. Love you!!!

[@jenniferkaplanski5810]

[@oumaima.bouhaddou]

does anybody see how much EFFORT Natascha puts on each video she makes? it's extraordinary !

[@katherinegallousis4395]

I’m on week 8 of your Cut program, and I’m feeling great! I love having the guidance without having to follow a video while I workout. It allows for interruptions from my kids. I’ve also never had a healthy mindset around food, and you’ve helped me so much in my approach. I’m usually all or nothing, and if I eat a cookie I throw in the towel and eat the whole bag. Restrictions are so bad for my psychology. I truly appreciate your influence! It’s too early to tell, but I think you’re changing my life for the better! I can’t even explain how grateful I am for you.

[@crazyfashionstuff]

I want to send you a massive thank you for videos like these!! I consistently fall back into unhealthy eating patterns but these encourage me to get back on the right track. I also bought your recipe guides and I’m excited to try them! Plus you and Mario are so entertaining to watch 😂

[@natachaoceane]

hey Anna!! I'm glad these videos help (: sometimes it helps seeing that you can enjoy food and achieve your goals (: I hope you love the recipes in there, I turn to them all the time when I feel uninspired!! All my love!! xxx

as someone struggling with anorexia, I wish you made videos every day to help keep me going. You are truly inspiring and so real. I appreciate the happiness you and Mario bring me ☺️💖

[@noodlezhead]

Over the last few videos I’ve noticed how you’ve incorporated some elements of the training you did with the Olympians you worked with into your own routines (tempo rows, the banded lateral walk, the assault bike…)- you’re not afraid to mix it up! That’s so admirable and inspiring 🤌

[@annegasko7719]

I was a teenager in the late 90s/early 2000s - peak toxic diet culture time. It’s so freeing and delightful to see you just eat. It also makes me realize how much internalized diet culture I still have, but it’s nice that I can at least recognize and question it now. Congratulations on the sponsorship, you so deserve it!!

[@nut2611]

U save my eating habit natacha! I was restricting my calories and at the end of the day i binge and felt guilty, i just found out that i need more calories to even be focus on my work and not felt lethargy at all!

[@erikagulino177]

I suffer from eating disorders and at times it can be very hard to deal to everything that comes with them: the blame, the body dysmorphia, the difficult relationship with the gym. Anyway, everytime I watch One of your videos I think I can do it. I think that It is possibile for me to have a normal life and to stop struggling every single day with every single meal. And I find myself smiling while watching your videos because you have the power of making it all look so simple and enjoyable. Thank you for this kind of content. You really make my day!

I'm in the middle of a program that has me tracking calories and macros. Started with a deficit to cut and now reverse dieting back up. My trainer and I have been talking a lot about making sure I'm still living my life and maintaining balance in my diet with nothing being off-limits. I've learned I can be quite obsessive when it comes to my diet and discovered your videos just a couple days ago. They've been immensely helpful as I work to recalibrate my brain away from its obsessive nature. Thank you for doing these!

So the same. I am just afraid that my body has gone used to dealing with less and that eating what I actually need will be put into storage right away.

[@MaeMaeLovesYou88]

Recently started watching your content.. I have to make a confession. I’ve definitely been subscribed for a long while. I followed when I was on my 876898th time of starting a “weight loss” journey. But never got around to actually watching your videos only bc my motivation was quickly puffed out in an instant. On my recommendations list sometime a few weeks ago, I believe it was a running video of yours came up and I decided on a whim to click on it and give it a try. I was doing some mundane task and I just needed to have something on in the bg and none of my other faves had uploaded. I clicked out of sheer chance, I listened to your thought provoking monologues bc it resonated with my jumbled up brain, and I binged the rest of your videos bc I was instantly hooked on your energy. Your drive. Enthusiasm. And your genuine passion for doing what you love. Is this a quick, messy and brain dump of a love letter?? Maybe?? But it’s something I felt I needed to tell you even if you don’t get a chance to read it right away. I hope I can keep you, your videos and Mario in my life for a long long time from these days onward! ♥️

[@ncmmorris]

Natacha, I love seeing your food - it always looks so GOOD. I was wondering about how you plan your meals, or like shop for them? How often do you go to the supermarket and how do you know what you are going to be in the mood for that week?

[@alessiacesario4735]

Absolutely love your content! I love how you show what balance looks like. You train hard but you also eat well and don’t restrict, which is so so refreshing to see. So many health and fitness influencers or social media personalities show toxic advice and tips for ‘healthy eating’ or ‘weight loss’ that is so harmful. So thank you thank you thank you ❤️

[@olivialockey5662]

Hi Natacha!! I just wanted to say you completely changed my perspective and mentality on food and exercise over these past few years. I used to have such a strict diet and workout schedule and I always felt so tired and worn out because of it. You made me realize the importance of fun workouts and enjoying meals and living life without focusing on stressors like caloric intake and body size. I just really appreciate all that you do in the fitness community because it’s nothing but uplifting :) thank you!

[@anniematanis]

i strive to have the same positive mentality towards food as you do !!! i'm getting there i think and i believe its all about being consistent with my training and listening to my body. some days are harder than others and i fumble a little (over or under eat then i feel horrible and beat myself up over it, force workouts when i have zero energy) but i'm learning to be patient and have discipline !!! the hardest part for me is the mental aspect of it but your mental resilience is so inspiring and i keep thinking that if you can do it then so can i!! ure my biggest inspiration 💐

The end really got me. I've been struggling with energy levels due to psychological stuff and have been bedridden without an explananation to what's happening. I got my diagnosis and meds a year ago now and I started playing badminton as well. It's crazy how much my life has changed. I've been seeing a nutritionist as well and have found out that I gained weight while I was eating faar too little food! Since taking care of my mental health, nutrition and physical activity I've been able to live life much much more. I wouldn't say it's "perfect" yet but it really touched me when you said that you work towards being able to live life to the fullest because that's my mission as well! I've been watching your videos more the past weeks and I just love your openness and honesty, it is so motivating, real and relatable! This video has brought a big smile to my face and a little happy/sad tear at the end

[@tammystiletto]

You know, I’ve gained weight eating too little as well. I’ve found that I don’t want to eat that much but that I’m doing that it does not serve me. I’ve also found that not wanting to eat is a form of starving for me, and I am starved for live somewhere in the back of my mind and in my childhood. Searching through the enneagram workbook has gotten me to journal about what’s been weighing me down and holding me back and to find healing. Just thought I’d share since I have depression as well and have been frozen in place for periods of time and gained weight eating too little.

[@1ARGS2020]

I love that you don’t typically track. I’m trying to get away from that and rebuild my relationship with food. So thank you for showing this!!!!

[@janaminerva]

Okay, this video was really helpful to me! I recently tracked my calories for a few weeks and to be honest it made me a little insecure because the numbers seemed very high for a smallish woman like me. I'm a climber and I usually do 3 pretty intense bouldering sessions per week, plus daily cycling (about 30 minutes - 2 hours total per day). In my mind those activities are nowhere near on the same level as the kinds of workouts you do, but in reality, I guess they're not too far off either. So just seeing the caloric intake you need to fuel that kind of exercise puts things in perspective and makes me feel a lot better about it 🙈 Thanks! ☺️

It's actually a really good thing to be maintaining your bodyweight on a higher caloric amount! It means your metabolism is upregulated 😊 definitely nothing to be ashamed of!

i truly love this content! i’ve had a terrible year obsessing about weight loss and fitness and it has led me down a wayward path trying to recover. i am super thankful for your videos on nutrition, training, and uncovering the science behind fat loss and muscle gain. it’s helped me improve my mindset on what fitness and health are and instead, i’ve been working towards enjoying my training and how it makes me feel. im nowhere as recovered as i’d like to be but i’m excited for what’s to come. i cannot thank you enough natacha- peace and love ✨💕! ☺️

[@akankshapaul9145]

Your presence makes our lives better ♥️ You both are hilarious 😂 Thanks for the love, laughter, inspiration and strength Lots of love Natacha & Mario 🥰🥰

I am currently tracking to make sure that I get all the nutrients I need and I also noticed that on some day I just get a lot hungrier so I eat 2000 calories which is crazy for me, usually, I eat about 1600 calories. And during my ED days I stopped at 1000-1200 calories. This is honestly thanks to you, because before I used to track and once I noticed I had reached a certain calorie count I'd just stop eating or eat practically nothing the day after. Your relationship with food is really healing. Thank you Natacha, you helped me see that food is not my enemy but my fuel! ❤

[@maineng18]

Congrats Natacha on your partnership with Lululemon! I love the foods you eat and the message you spread! Can't wait to see more :)

[@mindfulme3467]

Didn’t think I could love you more until I saw your love for food, cooking, portion sizes and the sewing! A woman after my own heart ❤

[@isralyechegaray]

I really enjoy your "what i eat" videos. The food looks amazing and it's always nice to see someone who is very in touch with her body needs and wants.

[@adsoyad6861]

I just can’t put it in to word how much you have helped me to build my relationship whit food after not having a period for more than a year I got my period back and half the credit goes to you and your videos so thank you so much for being here for us I love you so much

[@pehbble]

this was a wonderful video and thank you for brightening up my day, u truly are an inspiration to me 💗💗

[@stefaniefroeh]

I just wanted to say, how much I enjoy your videdos, they have everything. Science, fun and overall a great atmosphere

[@Shalom137]

Your videos are an eye candy ❤️🔥 As always, there are no words how amazing you and Mario are 🔥 Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It is very much appreciated 🎉 You have an immaculate taste in literally everything: food, style, your values and ethics 🔥❤️

[@hufflepuff23402]

Thank you so much for sharing fun but realistic meals and for all the nutritional advice you've given me over the years. I got a body composition scan done for the first time yesterday as I try to lose some weight, and the owner gave me the blanket advice to "eat clean" and only have 1300 calories a day which I immediately knew was way too low. Goes to show how much misinformation there is out there, so finding a creator like you who's genuine, honest, and shares science-based fitness means everything. ❤

Ive had too completely overhaul the way I approach food + exercise. My whole childhood, I was obsessed with wanting to be tiny. I know it came from family - brown, immigrant families have no filter or awareness of the impact of their comments. Now I try really hard to workout because its medicine for my depression and good food balances out my mood. I try to remember its not about pushing myself to oblivion every time I get on the mat. I live my the notion of consistent mediocrity now, just a consistent 60% effort for my brain. I love seeing your videos because I didn't have good examples of nourishment growing up. As for exercise I began posting my workouts on my channel, so I'd have a visual to SEE with my own eyes, that I'm getting stronger, and better at yoga/pilates and exercise isnt just about trying to be small.

[@luciamariahh5256]

your personality just shines bright through my screen into my heart! love you 🫶

[@natachaoceane]

love you back more than you know, thank you for everything and stay smiley and beautiful!

[@88nicolerenee]

I laughed out loud when you were eating a donut 'in the wild' HAHAHA! You're amazing and thank you for reminding us life is to be lived and enjoyed, the purpose of eating is for energy, health and fun!

[@skylarbodeo-lomicky1605]

As someone who has been struggling with eating disorders for a few years now, these videos are so helpful. I’m having a high anxiety day today, and I almost skipped this video for fear of it increasing that anxiety. Alas, I did not, and I am so so glad I didn’t! Truly this video uplifted my spirits and lessened some of my anxiety. You’ve taught me that having a scientific approach to eating can actually be listening to cravings and hunger cues, and that our bodies are quite smart in figuring out what we need. Thank you!

[@justmedidi]

a bowl of oatmeal and a new natacha video, a beautiful combo :)) i also do wonder, when your goal is to maintain, what sort of thinking/planning do you do for your training? i'm so used to doing so with a goal in mind be it gaining muscle or losing weight etc that i don't think i even know how i would go about such a thing, if that makes sense ^^

[@natachaoceane]

hey beautiful!! haha I actually know what you mean! When I'm maintaining I find a routine that fits my schedule, it can be the same split as a muscle building or fat loss programme but it doesn't have to be. Exercise-wise I focus on my big muscle groups and foundational exercises like lunges, pull-ups, squats, press-ups etc and push myself always, trying to go as heavy as possible throughout and then working in some of the new skills I want to work on. Sometimes I'll get stronger and notice myself having better endurance or strength but the biggest sign that I might not be eating enough would be losses in strength/cardiovascular fitness. Maintaining means i truly can listen to my hunger cues for each day rather than focussing on increasing my calories a little (for muscle-building) or lowering them a little (for losing fat). Hope that helps!! All my love xxx

[@justmedidi]

@@natachaoceane this helps so much! thank you for the response and the help

[@mariatmrz]

I swear you always make my "fear" towards food go away. Your channel is very much my safe place.

[@lydiatomlinson2712]

19:39 I would love to know the science, if there is science, behind why you would crash a few days later if you don't eat enough in one day. I think about it all the time because there have multiple times this has happened to me and it bothers me a lot.

[@laurenraftery9840]

Been watching Natasha for a good few years and her videos and channel is such a positive space on KZbin thank you for that 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@shelbylovescats]

Ok but I can confirm these Greek yogurt flatbreads are SO good! I found them on Felu - fit by cooking’s channel, and I make pizzas out of them. Usually takeout pizza is too hard on my gut, and these are great for gut health! Low calorie too! Love you Natacha x I’m a long time viewer for years now. You’ve changed my life with your content ❤️

[@p0keDAmo0seyXD]

I can’t help but stupidly grin the whole way through your videos. Thank you and Mario for the content you make and the bright light you bring to this space. Congrats on your ambassador role!!

[@chiaratomassini703]

YOU CAN’T LIVE A FULL LIFE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH! Thank you for showing us what HEALTH really means. It’s happiness and balance and fulfillment. Now please open a restaurant. Thanks 😝 😆 🔥 ❤️

[@natachaoceane]

you said it better than me Chiara!! someone else asked for a restaurant - honestly my food is good home cooking but I don't think I'd be able to compete with these London chefs - they're on a whole new level!!! xx

[@ameliaderrig]

Ur aura and energy that u give off inspires me so much to keep on intuitive eating and growing a stronger relationship with food

[@elisabettacolombim.9365]

Natacha I love your videos. You and Mario are so inspiring, honest, kind. Now I'm 39 weeks pregnant and I'm looking forward to exercising and moving my body again like I was used to. Your videos make me always happier. You show how is possible to have healthy habits without restrictions or food anxiety and overexercise.🥰 I have one question, can you explain the way you breathe during the execution of the exercises? I see that you seem to keep the air inside the mouth for some seconds (I hope my question is clear enough, sorry for my english). Hugs from Bergamo🇮🇹

[@natashaab5819]

feels like a best friend updating on her life

[@acutee2]

Wow, the stop motion, selfie cam, interview style...just so many great dynamic shots and fun editing. Great work @Natacha

[@TheDeidei95]

[@hollysoper379]
