I love how gentle and everyday these blogs are. It like listening to a friend chat about his life ❤

[@juliadickenson178]

Agree!

[@christine9667]

Yes , i find them so relaxing

[@kaineaskew7423]

Hi guys. On the low sugar…all carbohydrates turn into sugar when consumed so those huge bowls of pasta are the same as eating huge amounts of chocolate bars. There is no difference between a bowl of pasta and a bowl of chocolate, as far as sugars are concerned. So, when looking at packaging for sugar content you should really be looking at the carbohydrate content too. Hope this helps ❤️

[@juliadickenson178]

You're doing absolutely the right thing by not denying yourself. It's why diets fail (I should know!!) Enjoy a dessert occasionally and enjoy it without any guilt. Great weight loss!!! Fabulous.... btw, you have persuaded me to visit the David Austin centre and I just can't wait!

[@freddie.rhodesr9984]

@juliadickenson178 . So true, start denying yourself, start to crave and likely to give in, like everything in life all about the balance 😅

[@zatoichi188]

Boyo's it's portion control! They were some big bowls of pasta! You'd be shocked when you weigh out food how much a portion actually is.

[@emilyforster6989]

Lotsa love Matt ❤️ Grandparents are so special xx

[@traceycollins8741]

Love watching your logs and seeing your lovely gardens x

[@julieharlum-ewer5646]

Hope your Nan is feeling better soon Matt.

[@cherrepository5787]

To be honest, I’m SO happy you’re going to cover the Grow-Bags with something aesthetically pleasing!! I love your green house and I love you boys. Prayers for Matt’s Nan.

Hope you Nan feels better soon Matt ❤

Salmon looks lovely.

I hope Matts nan is better very soon.Your gardens look very pretty.Take care lads.xx.

[@pauladosch7062]

Elliot, for your low salt project, I wonder if something like less-processed Pink Himalayan salt or Celtic sea salt may be healthier? Table salt is the most processed and the pink and Celtic sea salts have more minerals and they balance electrolytes. I use pink Himalayan salt and Real Salt, a mineral salt from the US. I think Celtic sea salt is from the waters off Brittany, France so perhaps easy to aquire. Hope this helps!

[@enlilw-l2]

You're absolutely right, pink salt and what you call " Celtic " sea salt which is currently named " sel de Guérande " in french, are way more healthy.

[@laurenflint3098]

Sorry to hear your gran is not well, Matt.😢 The space behind your greenhouse is ideal for a hardening off area/nursery border as protected from the wind and some warmth/protection from the greenhouse. ❤

[@deborahgrant4930]

Hi guys. Matt, those are a breed of Hostas in your border. There are many different. I have 3 variations and they are blooming now. Love your Bluebells too!!! Would be beautiful in a border of you could move them. That way you could have your front yard.

Hello from Pickens, South Carolina, USA

[@sheilahenderson5973]

Always a big thumbs up 👍 Looking forward to the show homes; I've missed your show homes 🤗

[@sharonwindram6833]

Congratulations Eliott & Matt on your weight losses. I have to agree with another comment on your pasta portion sizes, they do seem rather large & i think smaller portions would help with further weight losses. Thinking of you all & hoping Matt's Grandma improves bless her. xx

[@barbaramccarthy7889]

I love the gardening part of the vlog. I live in Washington State on 5 acres so I am lucky to have a big flower garden. For sure that plant is foxglove. Let it bloom and go to seed, and you will have lots of volunteers next year. Hope Matt’s Nan is feeling better. Thanks for letting us see another week. Can’t wait for home tours.

[@christine9667]

I do hope Matts Nan is doing ok now , And well done for keeping to your diets

[@Sonyas_Makeup_Beauty_Secret]

Nothing worse than running out of onions! Lol I sneaky keep a packet of Greg’s onion flakes in the cupboard for those occasions lol

[@belindawallace5203]

Hope your nan is doing ok Matt 🤞 Well done with the weight loss Elliot and the garden looks lovely.

[@snappyspeak]

Your greenhouse is beautiful! 😍

[@LynnFarleigh-yw8ug]

I think on any diet you must have treat days, otherwise it's just too hard. Thankyou for the vlog.

[@suebeaney1397]

I hope you have a better week Matt 😘

[@margiebinns5768]

Well done to you both on your weight loss journey keep up the good work, Matt hope your Nan is better soon love❤

Love to you all especially your Nann, hope she’s feeling better x ❤️

[@msjannd4]

Congratulations on your five-pound sugar free weight loss Elliot! I'm sorry Matt's Nan isn't well; hope that changes very soon. Rory in the grow bag is so cute (hope I've got the right name)! Your front and back gardens are beautiful; thanks for sharing them with us! 🐈🐈🌱🪴🍃🥧🐦

[@francoisleduc4613]

Hey Elliot! Sorry to hear about Matt’s Nan being sick in the hospital, I hope she gets well soon! Also, would you mind giving more details about the lawn restoration you have to do in the front garden after the blue/white flowers have gone? We actually also have a nice unused area in the front of our house we might just transform into a meadow! Also, is everything in full sun? Thanks Elliot!

[@juliadickenson178]

So sorry Matt to hear about your Nan. Sending a healing vibe her way. 🤗 And..... showhomes! Yabba dabba doooo!!!!

[@beckyboop1]

You're a joy to watch. We love your vlogs 😊

[@enlilw-l2]

As someone said in the comment section, i strongly recommend you to switch your regular table salt to pink salt or the french " sel de Guérande " I think you can easily find them in the UK. Wish a quick recovery for the nan... Love your new intro 😊

[@jankitteringham8483]

Life happens. Well done with the weight loss, and prayers for your Nan Matt. 🥰🇬🇧xx

[@user-rk3sd8cj9z]

Loved this vlog hope your nan gets better Matt ❤😊

[@user-zt7bm9wi7f]

Elliott it’s alright to have a treat that way you won’t go crazy and end up where you started

[@WendyDonaldson-ld1jg]

Congratulations on the weight loss! Well done!👏🏻👏🏻 I’m a type II diabetic and have been told that Brown rice, whole wheat pasta and spelt pasta are the healthier choices. They take longer to breakdown in the body so the carbs in them is over a 12 hr period instead white rice/pasta which give you a faster hit of sugar than the whole wheat/spelt/brown varieties! Hope this is of some help. Also be watch out for too much fruit. Drink lots of water. I think that moderation is the key.😊

[@seaside2001]

Love love the spring blue bells in your front garden. The one you forgot is a spirea. I just bought a couple for my borders. Regarding your chop chop on the grasses. Take them right down to the ground, Water good, general purpose fertilizer and it will come roaring back. I have had two in pots, and they really should not grow, they are much to big, but this is what I do to mine and they seem to grow and plume.

[@mimaroo1431]

Loving your garden and greenhouse!! My greenhouse is keeping my veggies alive. It did get down below freezing a couple of nights. The cucumber leaves didn't like it, but everything is doing well, even the cucumber plants. I hope that all goes well with Matt's grandmother. Thoughts and prayers with the family 👪 🙏

[@michellehughes1537]

Lovely vlog. Can't wait for the show home tours😊. Thinking of Matts Nan ❤

[@michelleluvbeachsunsets4529]

Prayers and positive thoughts going out for Matt’s Nan! Nice vlog as always.

[@seaside2001]

The fabric for the grow bags is a nice idea. It will look much better. Good job eating all the healthy berries. Now you need to get the pasta portions under control. One cup only per serving with a cooked veg and green salad on the side. I love my pasta, but it spikes your blood sugar, and very hard to loose weight eating pasta. Ask me how I know? Sigh......☹

[@somerattt]

Hi guys. Love your vlogs as always. Matt I hope your nan gets well soon. I love the colour of your interior doors. May I ask what colour it actually is. Take care.

Oh berries and fruit is so expensive…. I planted several blueberry bushes, blackberries and strawberries this year….as well as dwarf peaches and mandarins…. Next year I’ll add raspberries and a few more fruit trees

[@carolyndubois1353]

Hollyhocks would be fun to grow. It takes two years for them to grow. They would be lovely in your garden.

[@irenedavo3768]

Are they poisonous?

If it fits she sits lol aww ☺️ Can I just suggest something to lose weight fast. You're eating too many carbs. I'd keep off the pasta and bread. Just meat and veg only (😄 oh my!) X

Whole grain bread has alot of added sugar

@@jermpoz2971Bell’s palsy can take up to 6 months to disappear . Everyone is different most get better with or without treatment . You should get a physio to show you how to stop the affected side of your face muscles becoming atrophied . Treatment can be antivirals also anti inflammatory meds . Took me 8 weeks to recover using meds and physio , good luck .

Hi Elliott two questions please The grow bags, do you grow plants/seeds actually in the bags and then transfer elsewhere once they take off or do you use the soil from the grow bags in a planter. I haven’t heard of grow bags in the US before Second question are bluebells the same as bluebonnets which we have here in Texas, there actually our State flower and are absolutely gorgeous especially when Indian Paintbrushes and in with the patches They are wildflowers and people stop stand in the middle of them for pictures not realizing rattlesnakes love to be in with Bluebonnets, I just shake my head They can’t be mowed over or they would grow back the following year, however TXDOT (TX Department of Transportation) maintenance is to throw out seeds to be sure they come back Prayers for your Nan in the hospital and congratulations on your weight loss!❤️
