What I eat in a day - to get summer ready (healthy + realistic)

[@hannahkabir7099]

Your videos inspired my weight loss journey! I've lost 10 pounds in a little less than two months. I really enjoy your videos!!

[@LiezlJayne]

wow that's amazing!

[@mariamangion21]

Liezyl, you truly are a lightbulb in my life. What I mean by this is that when I’m having a bad day, I watch one of your videos and your precious mindset with life instantly fills me with joy, happiness and hope 🩷Keep being the amazing person that you are 🤍

[@LiezlJayne]

That's such a nice comment!

[@oxanadc]

awwww that is so nice and so relatable tbh she motivates me so much to continue experimenting with cooking and be able to share it on my own KZbin channel 💜

[@simoneramos5678]

Thank you Liezyl. Im starting a weight loss journey and your eating style is such a model for me. High protein, whole foods, vegetarian friendly, realistic, simple, and affordable. I get inspired every time. Trying to lose weight can feel very lonely and isolating so you’re like my virtual buddy :) starting personal training next week. Wish me luck!

[@kataolah2672]

I'm on the same track, keep going

[@LiezlJayne]

Good luck with the training! Hope it goes well :)

[@olawilkinson2742]

How are you going to start? I need a week meal plan

[@sdlkfjsalf7577]

Whenever I want to get back on track, I always come back to your channel for inspiration. Thank you so much 💗

[@therealangelgirl1844]

You are so inspiring I love how you tell us exactly what the macros are I need to loose about 30 pounds and being in my 50’s is so much harder than before

[@susanburtonatx]

Liezl you poor thing. I too have had gum grafting surgery. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! So happy to see you back doing your passion. I’ve been following you since you lived in South Africa. I have loved watching you evolve ❤

[@LiezlJayne]

Yeah it really is horrible - I think my recovery took so long cause I had so many teeth done! I think usually people just have a few done at a time. At least ours is done now :) Anyway good to be back!

[@shelly6176]

I truly love your videos. I have been watching them for years. I am so happy you stayed humble and true to yourself ❤❤

[@candacedawn357]

Yes, she seems down to earth, someone who would make a good friend.

[@BellaGrl02]

Yay! I’m so glad you’re posting on KZbin again! It’s the only media I have lol thanks for a great video!

[@christinapaone1443]

I just love your channel. You make food pleasurable yet healthy. I have been creating your recipes and meal prep from the beginning of the year. I love to cook but have to keep it light. That is what your meals live up to. Homemade with love and health in mind from beginning of the day til the end. I hope that you will continue to create lovely content. I am always looking forward to each new post. Thank you!!

[@oxanadc]

omg same like she is so inspiring, and I hope that one day my own KZbin channel can help others get inspired to cook and bake, cause it is such a passion of mine

[@thulaniful]

Your videos are dangerous-whenever I watch them, I have no choice but to get up and make your recipes! Always so inspiring and they are so delicious! ❤

[@feliciagovender3083]

Your meals are simple yet so flavourful! Thank you so much 😊

[@beedlejuice2324]

Was watching your video as I was packing my lunch. Just as I was sliding my salad and sweet potatoes in my bag, it’s what you decided to make for lunch. Great minds think alike! Also just made something very similar to your noodles, but added chili crunch oil for a little heat. So good! Thank you for the video! You’re the best ❤

[@Bunnylu62]

So glad you are back. Thanks for this.

[@Jennie-lx2tj]

Love the tea cup at the end ❤

[@ShirleysTailor]

Evetything in the video comes together so quickly, and looks so tasty🎉 Gotta try right away!

[@HealthyforLife-nqp17]

[@LiezlJayne]

Thanks! Have a lovely weekend :)

[@FashionChaletNET]

Perfect timing to watch as I work on my grocery list for next week! 😇

[@candacedawn357]

Perfect!

[@candacedawn357]

I absolutely love your kitchen with the neutral colors accented by your greenery! I have yet to try chia seed pudding. I also try to avoid ramen noodles due to the high sodium content but I understand your desire to prepare a quick dinner. (:

[@Ali-cn1du]

Really liking what you were putting in those pretty bowls and then .... This is for the dogs. 🥴🤣

[@cozylexita]

I love watching this kind of video. Always so inspiring. Thanks for sharing

[@olalalala4302]

I hope you are OK. You seem a bit sad and down somehow, hope you rest well and have some time to recover. You made me loved meal prep and losing weight. Your recipes are not complicated yet so much more to my taste than those with like 20 different ingredients that can easily be overwhelming. Cheers and love from across the other side of the world❤❤❤❤❤.

[@RetroRose2803]

I love the cat cup and the salt and pepper shakers. I love cats. All your recipes looked good

[@BlancaAdilene]

I appreciate your videos so much❤ Rewatch them all the time and look forward to new ones. Thank you!

[@Arnita536]

Am I the only one who can't just have a smoothie for breakfast? It's just not satiating enough, I get hungry 30mins later

[@zumracelik9483]

I hope you feel better now ❤ Really missed your videos, you are such an inspiration to me and I want to see more meal prep and loose weight content 😍

[@rosemarygarza1695]

Thanks so much for the video! & welcome to TX where summer lasts 11.5 months.

[@lou15176]

Oh does it! ☀️ that sounds amazing. I live in the UK 🇬🇧 and we are lucky if we get 11.5 days 😂 x

[@UltimateInnerGame]

Thank you. it's inspiring to see your routine and you telling it does not have to be perfect. You look amazing. Haircut looks good on you :) wish you the best.

[@vk4297]

you are so inspiring and pretty. your home is stunning. can you do a house tour? and a morning routine and evening routine ? spend a day with me? basically , more videos please!!!!! xx

[@sharonh5399]

Hi Liezl, so glad your back and better. I have jotted down the stir fry sauce recipe with the chicken, onion, and peppers. My daughter and I love it, but her dad doesn't like soy sauce. Any suggestions on a recipe that would work for all of us?

[@TaytumWest-h7w]

Can you do a video of healthy desserts? I love making desserts and it’s one of my favorite things to do but I don’t know how to make healthy ones. Love your videos!🫶

[@llamalianna]

Love the bangs!!!! ❤ 😊

[@PeepingUkulele]

I was looking at your plants and thinking wow I have the same plants here in Houston…didn’t know you were here! Ha! And yes this heat is something else.

[@Beanshome]

Do you get cravings later in the evening since you have dinner early? If so, how do you manage?

[@memaal-269]

[@angelwings2977]

Hi Liezel love your video content! Ty for sharing your healthy go to recipes. You’re truly an inspiration! Can you post link where you purchased your coffee pour over that is white ceramic. Ty 😊 Dulce

[@HealthyforLife-nqp17]

I like your video. Thank you for sharing it.

[@angelabarbara139]

Hi i love your videos. my question is, how many calories you eat in a day to maintain your current weight?

[@booklover555]

What in your opinion is more effective for weight loss? Journaling all you eat in a day or counting the calories? Thank you for your feedback.

[@LiezlJayne]

Everyone is different, so just depends on what works for you - both could be helpful. I find journaling what you eat is only helpful if you're looking to see a pattern - something that is making you feel sick, giving you a headache, or trying to understand why you might be gaining weight etc. But if you wanna journal and put the calories in there that could be helpful for keeping track. You could also use an app to keep track of calories. I usually meal prep when i wanna keep track or calories. I have done videos on both of those: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGXMgp6Bjqt7Z6c kzbin.info/aero/PLmG6XZ6dRgFIjNqGjrFRzXqBmfd3EwSfG

[@Updog89]

Personally I think journaling can lead to excessive rumination and overthinking. I find the LoseIt app helpful because you can tell it what your priorities are and easily track calories, protein and fiber and not spend too much time on it obsessing over every last thing you ate. I also like that you can tell it if you want to lose extra slowly (which is helpful if you are a petite woman who can’t go too fast, or are someone who just get hungry easily and you’d rather just take it slow and steady). It doesn’t set the pace for you or tell you what to do, you get to decide. It’s very low pressure and helps me stay on track and stay true to my priorities without having to spend a lot of time over analyzing it. The app also helps identify patterns, so for example I have learned that on days I eat yogurt, tuna and berries I tend to do an extra good job of consistently meeting my protein and fiber goals while staying within my calorie target range. With that said if you tend to be overly fixated on calories and find yourself slipping into a restrictive mindset where you focus too much on what you can’t eat and not enough of what you can and should nourish yourself with, it’s probably best to consult with a register dietitian and mental health professional. At the end of the day this is a journey you need to take from a place of wanting to properly nourish yourself and make your life easier rather than adding extra stress.

[@wackypanda7829]

When did you move to Houston?? Like Houston Texas??? Well congratulations girl welcome to the best city !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SandraLuz3]

I'm in Houston. Crazy weather right now. Hope everyone is safe during the storms

[@LiezlJayne]

I've been here for about 2 years, it's really nice! Still not used to the heat though!

[@olawilkinson2742]

Is there a playlist for how should I start??

[@eye_land_girlgt6113]

Just started watching the video and was thinking, “that lunch bowl looks like it’s gonna be really good and easy to make”…. and then you said it’s for your dogs 😂

[@clairesingleton7399]

I love ❤️ your videos. Are you originally from South Africa - I can hear the accent. I was brought up in South Africa and moved back to the UK years ago. I do miss it at times I do love sweet potatoes. Im going to prep some to have with my lunch. Thanks ☺️ for sharing ❤xxxx

[@candacedawn357]

Yes, she's from South Africa.

[@jamieashton7285]

Yummy ideas 😊

[@raniamohammed1437]

Can you please teach us how to count calories for the meals we cook at home please,? Like i got a scale and weight the food in it but then its in mm and didn’t find explanation for how to turn to calories

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Lovely video as usual, it seemed like eating the whole day😂.What do you mean having new gums?

[@roger-xh8ms]

Are your meal plans good for men also?

[@MsSmallvillelover]

Didn’t know Gum surgery was possible ! I like the sweet potato egg salad idea but I’d choose spinach .

[@LiezlJayne]

Yeah it's really cool what doctors can do!

[@allison21nosilla]

what brand protein powder do you use?

[@joditrudeau1968]

What kind of noodles did you use? And where did you get them!

[@LiezlJayne]

I have them linked in the description box :)

[@raniamohammed1437]

What the app that counts calories for you ??

[@artikarna3377]

Hi Liezyl what is the smoothie glass you’re using?

[@LiezlJayne]

It's a double wall glass :)

[@jmd8338]

Hi Liezl! I've been considering a gum graft but it's so painful from what I have heard. :-/ Did you use tissue from the roof of your mouth or donor tissue?

[@LiezlJayne]

I used tissue from the roof of my mouth. Yeah I would recommend if you do that like me, then make sure you go to a dr that makes you a retainer that protects palate while it heals. Makes it much easier to eat. Also if you can take NSAIDS (anti inflammatory medication) it will make your recovery less better. I cannot take this and so it made the recovery more painful! Also - make sure you find a dr you like. I went to 3 before choosing one I liked. I had a lot of teeth done, so if you only do a few it will be much easier too! Even though it was painful I'm glad I did it, because it would have been more problems later on if I didn't do it! Hope that helps :)

[@denisedermody3620]

what type of noodles does she use for dinner?

[@candacedawn357]

Ramen

[@wenzelaj]

What protein powder do you use, please?

[@LiezlJayne]

Love your videos but don’t love the title of this video. It’s important to eat well and move all year- there’s no need to “prepare” for the summer. A summer body is just your body during summertime.

[@stayathomemomweightloss]

so do you freeze your meals or keep in refrigerator? do they stay fresh?

[@CeliaSpain130]

Do you work? It seems you are all day at home eating.

I only show the eating part of my day in this video cause it is about what I eat in a day
