[@floridagirl5250]

​@millieruiz4195 but cheese is dairy and she uses cheese constantly...

[@jennifertinker985]

[@Rozebunny14]

Sorry in advance for my long winded comment. But my head whipped around real quick when you mentioned the allergies..(psoriasis, eczema, joint pain etc etc). I was an absolute mess before my weight loss. No doctor ever figured out what was really wrong. They suspected lupus or some sort of connective tissue disorder. It was so so bad. Left me scarred for a long time. Caused damage to my skin/joints. Ever since I’ve been watching mainly you and Dr. Mindy Pelz, my life has changed dramatically. I’ve eliminated or close to it, everything you’ve mentioned here. Except for the gluten and some dairy. Will attempt to nix that next. My favorite foods for my journey have been…avocado, celery, peppers, cucumber, chobani zero (yes, artificial sweetener and is dairy.. working on it), organic peanut butter powder, walnuts, skinless almonds, reduced sugar dried cranberries, organic power greens, Braggs w/mother acv, olive oil, red wine vinaigrette dressing, zero mission tortillas, salmon, beef, chicken, turkey. I find when I need a snack. Having healthy options readily available has saved me so many times. I did get a jump start at the very beginning because of how bad my health was. I begged the doctor to put me on something, and he did. Was phentermine. From 207-180ish I had the help of that drug. After that, I used everything I learned during that period and on. It’s not been easy. I’ve fallen off the wagon and climbed back on several times. Made it to 158 pre Thanksgiving.. fell off, got back up to 174-175, now at about 170-171. Like hell I’m going back to misery. Keep fighting ladies 💖 God Bless and Happy New Year 🎊 💖🙏

[@almmason7]

Fyi, the mission tortillas have a few bad ingredients. So, I stopped eating it. Check the label. Try chaffles instead...😮

[@Rozebunny14]

@ Oh no!!! Thank you so much!!!! I’ve never heard of chaffles, googling right now 😊

[@Hildachipman]

[@Rozebunny14]

@@Hildachipman Great idea 💖 I do try to keep my “love’s” for my healthy foods. But there’s plenty of unhealthy foods that hit that list too💔 I have learned to say no to that list for the most part. Took a long time, but hitting goals, I truly love 😊💖

[@kpierce93]

I told my husband that I truly believed my knee pain was from sugar. I’ve been intermittent fasting and have drastically cut down on sugar. We went to a retirement party and the next day my knee hurt so so bad and the cheesecake and cake I ate at the party were the only things I could say contributed to the pain. Thanks so much for this information.

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

It is sugars .in your food and added

[@bernadettechute7998]

Sugar is very inflammatory!

[@MICHELEPASSERELLA]

I felt great after not consuming sugar for a month. Christmas dessert last night and I felt hung over this morning.

[@sharona6857]

I felt my knee pain came every time i ate fast food! Especially anything fried. I don't eat those things often but whenever i do, i have aches and pains!

[@Loveveggies]

For me joint pain increases with dairy.

[@themoondrinksmerlot4260]

The main reason alcohol stalls weight loss is because the liver will always work first on processing it, no matter how few carbs you ate throughout the day. You’ll never get into fat-burning mode because the body is trying to “burn” (process) the alcohol. It of course adds calories (and carbs if you’re having beer or sugary drinks), but the alcohol itself, needing to be processed, is the main reason.

[@pattilton5516]

Thanks I didn't know that!!

[@aletheajacobs3600]

Yes And the effects can last like up to 2 or 3 days that you stop burning fat

[@madtownjeremy]

@@aletheajacobs3600 This right here is key!!!

[@KairyMarquez]

Thank you! I sing for a living and I’ve noticed a big change ever since I stopped eating dairy. I noticed my throat is not scratchy any more, thanks to you pointing out that correlation.

[@fattofoxy]

I just started my journey with Low carb and intermittent fasting. These are some great tips, and I love thinking about what maintenance would look like. So far the initial weight loss has been so so fast, but I know that none of it matters if it keeps coming back over and over again. Thank you for these videos.

[@lauram1145]

I’m so glad you mentioned seed oils. It’s the worst thing ever. I eat very clean, but if I eat out I get puffy and achy joints from seed oils (and gmo’s).

[@Skiis44]

Yep every Sunday when we eat out. Puffy and achy for the next 2 days. No matter what I eat. Hubby has to have fish and won’t let me make it at home.

[@KJ-jd5ko]

Be careful with the electrolyte packets. Especially if you have blood pressure or cardiac issues. 1000mg is a lot because when you think about cooking with salt as well. Cardiac patients usually only can take 2000 mg for example need to be on a low sodium diet. But that one packet has 1000mg. That’s a lot

[@Terri-ee2eu]

That's what I was thinking too! Glad you pointed that out...

[@grandma_1887]

It also depends on the type of salt that you use. Table salt is a no no. Celtic salt is best.

[@jaszbri0639]

Just a pinch of celtic salt in your water should do it.

[@andreaswank3524]

Yeah way too much for me.

[@MrMrs-g2w]

Salt is great for you, See Dr. DiNicolAntonio, however i just watched steve ekberg yesterday go over electrolyte brands and apparently LMNT failed on a few things, made me sad, I believed in that brand and used it, very tasty.

[@danielleh765]

I live a gluten and dairy free life as well but it's due to allergies but it's nice to meet people on the same page as me

[@yvonnedulaney6292]

As someone with Hashimotos Thyroiditis I was advised by my endocrinologist to eat a gluten-free diet. I also eat as little refined sugar and dairy as possible, also lactose intolerant. Seed oils was another thing she mentioned. I was eating a lot of salads and almost all of the store bought salad dressing contain seed oils. I can definitely tell when I eat too much of these ingredients.

[@reviveflourishandthrive]

I have Hashi also, and type 2 diabetic. It’s a struggle but this video is so helpful.

[@jle1597]

Not giving medical advice here, but given the inflammation that attacks the nerves and causes the demyelination affecting hashimoto's, a lot of the myelin that covers the nerves is based in fat. My best friend is a family practice doctor but also got her residency in practical medicine where she recommends dietary alternatives to medication. She mentioned to me about a keto high-fat low-carb diet. Ask your doctor about this as well. I would really go with your doctor since they seem to be educated on a lot of the inflammatory foods that wreak havoc on us. God bless you in your journey. I hope every day is awesome and blessed no matter what❤

[@cierrabennett206]

​@jle1597 Thanks for this info! I have Hashi's too but I got no dietary recommendations from the endocrinologist I saw and was basically told to come back when they are ready to cut it out (yes, I'm talking about my precious thyroid)! I'm going to try both the elimination of gluten and focus on keto due to fat content. I do feel better when I eat more fat and few carbs! Thanks a bunch! ❤

[@gigidayz6936]

@@yvonnedulaney6292 I have Hashimoto's too and the elimination diet has definitely helped. Gluten is so inflammatory and I was always bloated. I cut out all soy (not hard), almost all dairy, and seed oils. Gluten free is $$$ but at least there are so many options now. My biggest hurdle is sugar

For me: Keto diet with Intermittent Fasting. I gave up gluten,alcohol,grains, processed carbs, seed oils veg oils,most peanut foods except occasional organic peanut butter but pour the oil off, most starches and only after 3.5 years I rarely eat after cooking and 24 hr refrigerating creating RESISTANT starches mostly purple sweet potato and unripe green plaintain. I gave up all fruit for 2 years and now eat only small amounts once a day or every other day like 5-6 raspberries or blueberries or 1/4 grapefruit or 1/4 cup organic cranberries or 2 tablespoons of pomegranate or 1 unripe kiwi or 1/3 or 1/2 of smaller unripe wild crabapple or 1/3 or 1/2 wild unripe dwarf pear ( I eat unripe fruit as it has less fructose but they have all the nutrients and I just add my stevia/Erythritol to sweeten them to taste. Also occasionally very green hard unripe mango I use a potato peeler to make slices to top goat cheese on quality keto toast and the sprinkle the mango with stevia and throw real thin layer Swiss cheese on top. Sometimes embed walnuts or pecans in the goat cheese and sprinkle Ceylon Cinnamon inside this open face sandwich treat. Also gave up all lectins and nightshades for 3 years but now I’m adding deseeded organic tomatoes and yellow & orange deseeded bell peppers back in for the lycopene and the polyphenols. Also adding back in organic beets in smaller portions of cold Borscht to help get more nitric oxide development in my body. I lost the 40 lbs. I needed to.and am maintaining the loss. I’m 70.5 yrs. & diabetic.

I have 37 food allergies and it was a big shock when the doctor handed me the results of the allergy blood test. I already knew I had dairy and gluten allergy but the rest was a big shocker; like lettuce. Although he said I could have some because it was low on the allergy list. There was seasoning, too, like turmeric, black pepper, ginger (powdered and root). It's rough and I'm still going through an elimination process.

[@leni0210]

I had a similar experience, I took an allergy test at my doctor's office and it came back with 30+ foods I was allergic to. I was shocked and couldn't believe it. Then I checked into a certified clinic where they analyze in detail what you're allergic to, including gut inspection and colposcopy. I spent two full weeks there and the first 5 days they have everyone on a strict rice and potatoes diet to reset your body. The they perform blind tests with several different potential allergy triggers on you (you have to swallow it dissolved in water and you don't know what you're ingesting). I had to journal every day how I felt after the test, had blood test every morning. After two weeks they told me I had a gluten intolerance as well as soy and casein allergy. I'm avoiding these things ever since and no longer suffer from allergy symptoms. TLDR get a second test (preferably a long term, detailed test at a certified clinic) before avoiding 37 foods for the rest of your life.

I’ve been eating ketovore for a bit now, it’s helped me lose more weight. I had the gastric sleeve about 5 months ago and my weight-loss has been slow because I didn’t have a ton to lose. Since I’m super limited to what I can eat anyway, cutting out everything has helped. I try to only eat vegetables that have protein in them,to help with my protein intake, of course only after I eat my meat protein first.

Tequila for my low-carb diet. Flavored seltzer ( sugar & salt free)Low carb yogurt with almonds,blueberries & strawberries for breakfast & lunch. A sensible dinner with meat ( or fish)and broccoli or cucumbers. Snack less Evil popcorn made with coconut oil. Some days ill add a piece of cheese or carrots and hummus instead of yogurt for lunch. I do love salad and if out have that with blue cheese dressing on the side.

I know what you are saying is correct. The trouble is my husband eats all this stuff and doesn't have an issue. That would require me making separate meals, so that doesn't work. I will try and cut back on bread (gluten), don't have a problem with pop, don't drink a lot of alcohol, sugar for sure, and I don't eat or drink a lot of dairy. Try to use olive or avocado oil on a regular basis. Thanks!! It makes me more mindful.

[@claudiaparra1999]

Either your husband adapts and encourages you by eating with you and not bringing bad stuff home or he has to go. Sorry to say this, but so many people go through this situation, me included and if your partner isn’t conscious of your struggle they’ll make you become somebody you’re not instead of the best version of yourself.

[@kidneycarecoaching3766]

If you cook with your needs in mind, he will probably eat it without complaint especially if you start to look better. You may have to give up more bedroom time too 😊

[@kristinaleigh4502]

What I do is make the main part of the meal something I can eat, then add a starch as a side for my husband and teen boys. It's pretty easy to do it that way. If they all want something that I just can't make acceptable for myself, I'll cook that on a day when I have suitable leftovers or another option available. I also try to keep a few portions of meals for myself in the freezer that fit my criteria, so I can reheat those, if necessary.

[@tiffanysalerno]

You can just have the parts. For example, like if you make pasta and chicken for him, you just have the chicken in a separate pot. And you both could have the veggies and the meat. I cooked like this for my husband and I for quite a while, and now he has actually joined me in avoiding flour!

[@LordBoondock]

I'm always surprised that people don't understand that adding syrup, honey, and other sweeteners completely destroys your diet. People also don't realize how snacking on some chips while cooking, or alcohol, and small extra eating between meals DESTROYS results. It should be common knowledge but it isn't. Track your food. Every calorie for a week and see how much you actually take in. It will change your life. Losing weight takes REAL sacrifice. Then eventually it's easy to change your habits.

[@jessicafrye4543]

I don't think that it's not uncommon knowledge. I think the problem is cognitive dissonance which is a psychological state that occurs when someone has conflicting beliefs, ideas, or actions, and experiences discomfort or tension as a result. The answers are so simple that even when they hear or see the truth for what it is they are frozen or stuck Plus our government and how it regulates food and drugs is preventing us from living our best lives. Keeping people sick is far more profitable than if we actually healed people. Which is why achieving health is so hard for so many people.

The sodium content will be good for me because honestly my cardiologist even told me to increase my salt intake because I get dizzy a lot. Even my bloodwork shows I need more salt. 😊 Thank you for sharing LMNT. I just ordered and got my free packets with it. Thank you for your inspiring message.

In regard to dairy, finding a high quality raw milk does the opposite of what you were saying. It’s anti inflammatory and wont cause bloating, pain, acne, allergies etc, instead can really help with those things. ❤

[@perturbedsun5508]

I’m kinda confused so hope this isn’t a silly question: how would you suggest not eating dairy when you include cream cheese in several of your recipes? Or are you suggesting to cut down on certain forms of dairy?

[@Asesinomenace]

Cream cheese isn’t as heavy for your stomach

[@tameishalcampbell]

I actually like the choice of music you used here… was very soothing.

Olive oil......good or bad

[@TheLuxhippie]

Olive oil and avocado oil are better. Ghee and butter grass fed, grass finished is best.

[@davebryant8050]

@@TheLuxhippie and lard even better if you have access to it.

I get confused about using maple syrup. It seems to have so much sugar?🤔

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

Do you have a recipe for a non alcoholic sugar free margarita? It’s one of my favorite things ever 💕💕💕

[@thewreathmeshine]

Thank you for the advice. I am diabetic and this will help us folks too. Stay blessed!

[@havenlee9759]

Along with gluten I also have to say processed gluten free products. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It is so helpful to so many!

[@NITA-f7u]

I don't know how I live without diet drinks since I hate water and also dairy? I have been mostly on keto and it is one of those things that keeps me on it.

[@AC-Empress]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge😊

[@stevencourtney7008]

Life coach vibes. Thanks Mayra!

[@kb4672]

So this may be a silly question but when you say you cut out sugar is it just processed sugar? What can you eat instead? Fresh fruits or cane sugar or coconut palm are okay?

[@tiffanysalerno]

Processed cane sugar like white table sugar is really bad for you but fresh fruits are fine. Not sure on coconut palm.

[@kb4672]

@ thanks for the response!

[@RALF0691]

I agree with everything she said except for gluten. I can eat gluten and still lose weight. I stopped drinking sodas back in 2006 when i was a sophomore in high school. I never drank alcohol or did street drugs.

[@Integrity-Speaks]

That's for you, but alot of ppl have a gluten allergy so she is right. It just doesn't apply to everyone. This is what worked for her,it's her journey.

[@kelsowins]

When I want something fizzy to drink, I have carbonated water with lemon, and it's enough for me. I only drink this when I'm having a meal, usually only once every couple of weeks or so. I was never one to drink soda all the time before I went keto, so it's not been the adjustment for me that it's been for others. Just a suggestion.

[@sallyharris1093]

Here’s an idea for you. I add LMNT to plain sparkling water (I like Liquid Death). I’m a bubbles girl too. I know that LMNT has a sparkling water also, but it is so expensive. And they have only 2 flavors I like.

[@hburke575]

You look fabulous. Thanks for all the good information.

[@sheiladoerr1985]

Thanks for all the tips. I love the paint color in your bedroom, do you have the color?
