As an older woman, I love when you have your mom on! She is so beautiful and wise. I'd love to see what she eats in a week! Tell her thank you! ;-)

[@Anne-ux3ex]

Agree! You are so smart to use your mother's wisdom and your education to get across some very important nutritional advice. As someone who has struggled with finding a good way to eat and dealing with Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol I watch this and marvel at how easy your mom makes it look.

[@carolinafarmgirl1057]

Very sensible advice. I'm 48 and have tried every diet under the sun. Once I made peace with food and my body & focused on nourishing myself- that nothing is really banned- that is when I lost weight. I grew up in the 80s/90s toxic diet culture & it really ruined my relationship with food for more than half of my life.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Congrats on getting out of that!!

[@Runningwiththehorses80]

That Sounds good… I‘m 43 and Grew up in the „Diet Culture of the 90s Heroin chic and so in…“ struggle still today… but there is hope 🙂🙂

[@sneakystef]

can your mum do another what i eat in a day ? so we can learn more about her diet and portion control :)

[@elliepankhurst1652]

yes please!!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Yess we are planning that soon!

[@UncleMikeDrop]

I'm American and I'd say absolutely, the French are better educated about healthy eating. Entire industries in the U.S. have a vested interest in keeping Americans ignorant about healthy eating. We are sick as a nation. I don't mean to be a downer, but it's a bad situation.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Yeah the situation isn't ideal but I strongly believe that everyone can make a change on an individual level!

[@UncleMikeDrop]

@@Edukalebylucie Very true.👍

[@anna-tn8mg]

I'm intelligent and I'd say absolutely that there is a general difference between America and Europe in this area. Yes, stricter European laws keep the food safer and the tradition of markets and cooking at home is healthy. America allowed to be convinced that chemicals are the best nutrition, just like they allowed to be convinced that vacations and access to health care are a very bad thing, but a demented criminal at the center of power is a wonderful thing. This particular woman is Harvard style nutritionist (a vegetarian at best "with eat grains and grass" training) pretending to promote French nutrition just because the illiterate swoon about everything French. dr anna

[@annejohnston8696]

Its a 'culture', and by no means accidental but in fact, engineered. It's cheap, families in poverty, it's mass produced, it makes people sick. AND it's been 'done' to them. Perfect 😑

[@MK-rj4eq]

Please more food diaries with your mom, they are so inspiring 🥰

[@chathuranganiesenevirathne1820]

Your mom is a beautiful lady ❤

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you I think so too🥰

[@laurendaniels6817]

Super random but I LOVE your mom's haircut; it's perfect on her!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Haha thank you!

[@jguitar23]

I agree with your Mom. Intermittent fasting can definately help lose weight because it helps you manage your hunger and has other benefits. When you stop, the weight can return, of course, so one should keep this in mind.

[@ruthg8799]

With intermittent fasting for me I just have a mental association with “feeding time at the zoo” 😂 and I just can’t shift that mindset…I think all days are fundamentally different in terms of our activity levels, our energy levels, our emotional state, our obligations to friends and family so to have a time bound window of eating is in theory time efficient but in actuality for many it is somewhat restrictive and does not account for responding to our unique/individual hunger cues.

[@Edukalebylucie]

I completely agree with you!!

[@coconutvanilla7746]

You have a gorgeous mom and I love her outlook on nutrition and health! Great video 🥰

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@cquinnth]

You two are adorable. Such sensible advice!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Aww thank you!!

[@historianlaura]

Your maman is lovely. Great video x

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much!

[@MiaK06]

Absolutely love it! And couldn’t agree more with your mum! You both have the best most common sense approach Thank you!

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad you think so, thank you!

[@jerushas6156]

I love how your mom is willing to learn from you, and is also naturally an intuitive eater. If people listened to their intuition more, and were more confident about and aware of who they are so they could come from an authentic place, I wonder how different our country would be. You are making such a positive difference with your videos and programs. ❤

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much Jerusha you are so kind💜

[@jerushas6156]

@@Edukalebylucie ❤️

[@UncleMikeDrop]

It seems to me that most "naturally" thin people are people who learned about healthy eating pursuant to a healthy lifestyle early in life. A healthy lifestyle is a skillset. With that in mind, it's no wonder so many diets fail. People are trying to do a thing they never learned how to do properly.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Yes, I totally agree with you!

[@debrasams2362]

Great questions and answers from you both. I am constantly trying to eat balanced, nutritious meals. It's a daily practice, with struggles along the way. Thank you for all your encouragement.

[@Edukalebylucie]

You're doing great!!

[@NephieMarie007]

Love these videos with mom..being from the US you are correct that we know what is healthy but we don't eat it as much as we should..wish I would of learned to be healthy when I was younger so it would be more natural..I feel like it's kinda hard to change things as you get older but im making small changes at a time.. your videos help me alot and I love learning more about the French way and the Mediterranean way of eating! 🥰

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad that my videos help you, and thank you!! 🥰

[@dayofthemoon1]

Girl, you are SISTERS 😍

[@Edukalebylucie]

I knooow 😂

[@ichatwithcats]

Your mum is wise, humble and open minded. It would be great if you learnt to be the same. Just because someone studied to be a nutritionist, it doesn't mean that they know better all the time especially compared to people who have decades of real world experience

[@TaylorWilliamsnaturalisttaylor]

Mom is always a pleasure. We love he from Sweden/ USA!! I love how too two incorporate balance ! People live off lettuce and wanna lose body fat in a healthy way

[@Edukalebylucie]

Aww thanks for watching!!

[@alp7928]

Great video. Your mom is lovely, so classy just like you.

[@jayhulrs1435]

Your mom is gorgeous!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Aww thank you, I think so too🤗

[@camillevianey6199]

I had to look up the meaning of fad diet... 😂 I think I naturally do intermittent fasting at the weekend ... usually wait until lunch to have my first meal, because I get out of bed later than usual.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Doing it naturally is totally fine!

[@deborahcardillo8446]

I loved this video! ❤ Thanks, mom, for participating.

[@SWLion16]

So much common sense, it’s great to see/hear. I appreciate both of your perspectives on nutrition. As an aside, I wish my French was as good as your English. I took four years French in high school, but just haven’t had the opportunity to keep up with it/use it enough.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much! And for my English I spent 5 years living in the US so I cheated a little hehe, I took 5 years of Spanish and can barely say a thing😂

[@kaylyn444]

you and your mom are both very beautiful ☺️ she seems like a sweet and kind person. you guys dynamic remind me of me and my mom haha❤

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much!!💜

[@xassy]

Very interesting. I think IF has a lot of science and a lot of new studies are being conducted right now. Of course not everything is for everybody and specially for special populations.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Absolutely!

[@veronicaramos969]

My mom wants to know what makeup/ skincare your mom uses? How beautiful!

[@Edukalebylucie]

You can see her routine here!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaeZc5ekl5yNfbM

[@therealsunqueen]

That was so enjoyable to watch ❤

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad you think so thank you 🥰

[@souleo1417]

Your mum is awesome, I loved listening to her answers to your questions

[@Edukalebylucie]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@stargirl33343]

Fun Fact at 11:19, carbs are essential for moving the amino acid tryptophan to your brain to help form melatonin and serotonin, both of which make you sleepy. If youre going to do low carb for one meal for any reason, it's best to not do so for dinner!

[@stephaddiction]

Your mom should do her skin care wrinkles advice routine! ❤

[@taragibbons6616]

YAY! Thank you for this video!

[@keks257]

Your mom is so pretty ❤

Could your mom share her beauty routine? I love her subtle makeup!

[@jiyounghwang9437]

Thank you for your all videos. I believe intermittent diet is not healthy in my experience it can ruin your thyroid gland and sleeping patterns so no point having good result of loose weight and short mental clarity but then loose the crucial part of your health.

[@MsBackstager]

You have such a young mom!

[@nymnym91]

Love all your videos ❤ This one was a bit hard to listen to because of the talking over each other / arguing. Maybe it’s better if the questions are asked / filmed separately? Really excited to see more of the what I eat in a day from you both!! 🎉

[@nyx8017]

I personally like it because it feels like they're very comfortable together! Lucie has plenty of other videos where she's talking alone. Don't you talk over your family members too? 😉

[@auroraborealis189]

Love the videos with your mom ❤. I like some soy products, but unfortunately every time I have soy my stomach gets inflamed. So I rarely have any.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you!! 💜And sorry to hear that, hope you find other replacements you love!

[@songsparrow4324]

How fun!!! I LOVE your mom!!

[@stargirl33343]

Love videos with your mom!

[@ellievillafane]

your mom's hair is so gorgeous!

[@Edukalebylucie]

aww thanks

[@lindadorman2869]

I think eggs are a good source of protein, right? I like to have a hard-boiled egg as a snack or in salads, or a French omelette, or scrambled eggs with vegetables.

[@brendastevens9077]

A++ I Love Your Mom!! This was so fun. I wanted to ask about soil in France? The way farming is done in the US a doctor said most people are not getting the nutrients they did for example in the 70's. They put a lot of chemicals on the fields and that takes away from proper nutrients we all need. Which adds to weight gain. How do u feel about this? I'm thinking in France it's like it's always been.😊💖💖💖

[@stargirl33343]

I've heard this too, and don't actually know the answer, but I do know GMO crops are banned in France. I assume taking a good multivitamin can help!

[@Anne-ux3ex]

love your mom

[@sassas010]

Gosh I just love your mom, she's so beautiful! I was wondering if she's had anything done to her face? Are French people in general big on Botox/fillers as a way to "maintain" themselves as they age?

[@teresaschwarz1243]

Good advice! I do have a vitamin d3 deficiency.

[@thelizzleking]

Loved this video!

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad!

[@lesleyhaldane4162]

I love your mum!

[@sharroon7574]

I tried intermittent fasting and I feel more disregulated. I want to try luongos fast mimicking diet though.

[@TaliaAdira]

Hello. Thank you for your wonderful channel. I wonder if it is possible to ask your Mother's skincare routine opinion.

[@Rachel-qj7zr]

Your mum is gorgeous!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Aww thank you!

[@lokerola]

Is wine a supplement? If so, I'm on board!

[@suziel6588]

I understand that supplements are a market...but what happens if the doctor says you should be taking them...how does France market their supplements I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and I am interested in french life

[@Edukalebylucie]

I would totally trust you doctor on that!! I just meant that you needed to avoid buying a ton without an actual need to, just because of marketing. But they can absolutely be helpful in certain cases

[@AbianahAlmeida]

Your mom is absolutely beautiful

[@MsBackstager]

Soy is no longer a friend of mine (burp :) ). Q: What if one has blood sugar issues and can't have sugar in their diet?

[@frogmouth]

Supplements Vit D is the main one but i am older than yr Mum and in the pre osteo porosis stage with some bones. Dr advised

[@thayouth]

Why the judgemental look @ mom when she said she might look into IF? lol It works for a lot of people and it's actually healthy for our bodies to have a break from digesting all those foods we put into them everyday.

[@Edukalebylucie]

I was just surprised as she had never mentioned it before and is against fad diets lol

[@thayouth]

@@Edukalebylucie I thought it was the generational thing. I give my parents a similar look at times, lol. But thanks for responding and for making these videos! I know it's gonna take a lot of time filming it, but a video of what your mom eats in a week would be soooo cool to watch.

[@prashantsharma3529]

Mummy is right Namaste. To mummy

[@debrafarwell1368]

Great info. I would be interested in what fat your mom cooks with. Is butter used in French cooking as much as North Americans think it is?

[@freedom1049]

In your French eating videos, I thought you encouraged IF eating in an 8 hour window? Has your opinion changed?

[@suzannegittins9574]

Question: Does your mom use hormone therapy? Thank you.😊

[@mh-mo4bj]

Thank you soooo much for your help!!! What if we eat when anxious, my stomach just gets hungry every time I get nervous or something!! In those cases do we still listen to our hunger or try and ignore it since it’s more due to anxiety?

[@Edukalebylucie]

Maybe this video can help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZLGpqqrj8dgoZo

[@chandae17]

Lucie, does your mom put sugar and/or cream in her coffee? Or does she drink it black? I'm just wondering, since she likes to have chocolate or bicuits with her coffee. Is it sweet with sweets, or is it a pairing of "bitter" with sweet?

[@abarnhart1679]

I think intermittent fasting just used to be not eating after dinner! Probably something French do anyway.

[@caseyj1144]

Are supplements regulated in France? They aren’t in the USA

[@Edukalebylucie]

Slightly on a European level, but you can still buy however many you want with zero regulation

[@frogmouth]

Soy is good for you but you must avoid products that there have been scandals about

[@mariahsmom9457]

Intermittent fasting is good to an extent because it allo3s your stomach and GI system to rest. It is not natural to be grazing 24/7 and our digestion is not designed to handle it. Fasting for daysm on the other hand, is a bad idea.

[@dawnwalus6587]

She’s beautiful!

[@stannescheese]

How long has your mm been married?

[@precocioussceptic4967]

How old is her mom?

[@justinllamas1]

coucou à toi et à ta mère 😁

[@Edukalebylucie]

Coucouu!

[@user-pq1gt3cs8h]

Lucie how tall are you?

[@Edukalebylucie]

5ft7!

[@jacquelinebucar9485]

But when one has sugar cravings one does not stop at one piece of chocolate. That’s what a craving is. You can’t stop. Or it’s hard to stop also how do the French develop “willpower”? Moderation requires willpower. Not so easy

[@Bonnieuxful]

Very practical, common sense way of eating❣️🥰💕💕💕🍎🍇🥬🍆🫐🥑🍑🌶🍞🥗🍯🍷🐟

Glad you think so! 🥰
