I eat 2 eggs every morning with some fruit and a small piece of bread for fuel and a cup of coffee. I am on my feet and on the go all day. That breakfast gets me through to lunch. My lunch is either a salad with leafy greens and tomatoes with chicken or soup, apple and PB crackers. For dinner it varies but it's either fish, beef or chicken , with either a veggie or potato, but never together. I have 2 alcoholic drinks a week and I do need something sweet after lunch and dinner. I exercise 4 days a week with weights. I have used a plant based powder vitamin for years that I put in a shake post workout with Collagen, dried beetroot and Glucosamine Chondroitin . I am 54 years old, 125 lds and in the best shape in my life. I was 215 over 30 years ago and it was a slow journey to get to where I am now.

I had a similar experience by adding steel -cut oatmeal to my diet. I was frustrated with cooking oatmeal on the stove so now I cook mine overnight in a TINY crockpot which I got for around $10 at Walmart. I use 1 cup of steel cut oats and 4 cups of liquid (sometimes cranberry juice), chopped apple or any fruit, walnuts and just before bed, I turn the crockpot on Low. No more boiling over on the stove! And When I get up in the morning it’s ready to eat!

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Wow! Thanks for such a great tip! Def going to give it a try!

[@paulachristie7807]

I hated cooking oatmeal too. I figured out how to make oatmeal in the microwave, I found the instructions on the oatmeal package just didn’t work well. I use rolled oats, but I suspect it would be similar for steel cut oats. I saw a KZbin video on how to use the microwave successfully. The key is add more water, reduce the temperature, and really increase the time. You need a bowl with high sides, 2 1/2 to 3 inches. If you’re going to try this, put a paper plate under your bowl just in case it boils over, you’ll have a few failures before you find the sweet spot in your microwave. Here’s what works for me, just slightly under 1 1/4 cup water, add some flaxseed meal and some chia seeds, about a healthy teaspoon each, add 1/3 cup rolled oats, microwave 14 minutes at power level 3. It will be really hot so let it sit a couple minutes. Now you can add your favorite toppings, I usually top mine with some blueberries, strawberries, cinnamon, ginger, and walnuts, and it’s ready to eat. I do this most mornings.

[@cindyprice546]

I'm 58, petitie, 5.1, 139 lbs. now. I can't eat carbs--I put on 2 pounds anytimes I have some. I don't know how you eat oats every day and not put on weight! I'm really stunned by your testimony, which is reflected in your obvious fitness and health.

[@EM-yn1wd]

Nonsense - check out Dr. John McDougall's "It's the Food" - oatmeal is mostly fiber - you CANNOT GET FAT ON IT. PERIOD. It's all the other stuff you eat, fatty meats, cheeses, butter, milk, bad seed oils, white bread, white rice sugary deserts made with bad oils - these things put weight on people. Beans, rice, quinoa, oatmeal, lentils - all these vegan foods you can eat till you're full, and you will never gain weight. Unless you add gobs of butter or oils, then that is a different story.

[@barbsdee3831]

I’m in the similar situation, I have to eat very low carb to keep my weight down, no snacking and only 2 meals a day.

If you eat low saturated fat, mainly plant based whole foods, you will be able to tolerate oats and other healthy carbs. Check out Healthy Vegan Mama who reversed pre-diabetes and lost a lot of weight by eating whole food carbs. 👍

You have just convinced me to get on the oatmeal train, Tamara. The lunch, smoothie and chili ideas are great, especially because they are quick and easy. So often, “healthy” recipes will get into complex ingredients, massive amounts of produce and prep, that I know I won’t even bother. I can cook, I just don’t like to get into a big production everyday. Thank you! Please share more achievable recipes! I am far from my ideal weight and these simple tips inspire me.😊 UPDATE - about 2 months later - breakfast has been consisting of oatmeal with a spoonful of ground flax seed, tsp of turmeric, pinch of black pepper, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, sprinkling of walnuts, 1/4 c of blueberries and 1/3 of a banana with a spoonful of grass fed yogurt for breakfast. I haven’t lost any weight, but it is very satisfying.

I can attest to everything you're saying! After years of unsuccessful attempts at shedding the perimenopausal weight, I decided to change my diet to only whole foods. I also eliminated all wheat, use very little sugar, started eating probiotic food everyday, and I have built up to intermittent fasting. It's only been a month, but the excitement of getting on the scale every morning and seeing a lower number keeps me motivated. To my disbelief, I've already lost 6lbs, without any exercise!

@@sanjam11 I eat only whole foods, nothing processed. Breakfast is overnight oats in almond milk. Lunch is a plate with variety - usually cheese, cashews, olives, sliced cucumber and/or bell peppers, a banana and coconut milk yogurt. And for dinners I usually eat some sort of bean salad, such as chickpea, loaded up with veggies. Fills me up good. I do not snack anymore (used to eat every 2 hrs) and I think that has had the biggest impact. I lost 2 lbs per week and now its slowed to about 1lb/week, but I am almost at my target goal. Hope that helps. Good luck!

[@bdrienne]

Thanks so much for sharing about oats and cholesterol! Another great way to get oats into your day is to make them savory. Cook your steel cut oats with half water/half broth (I use homemade chicken stock, but any broth is great). I have them with poached eggs, some chopped kale, plain yogurt, generously drizzled with olive oil and topped with a little salt, za'atar, aleppo pepper and chopped scallions. They can be topped with stew, or roasted veg.

[@homesteadgal4143]

Thanks for the tip...sounds delicious and I am going to try this. I'm not too keen on sweets, esp at breakfast time. I will often make a savory stir fry for breakfast using diced celery, carrots, peppers, onion, and some leafy kale or mizuna, spinach, or mustard all stir fried w/ EVOO and plated with a dollop of refried beans. If I'm extra hungry, I will add diced chicken-sausage or eat with a half flour tortilla. I'll cook the savory oats -- I'll probably enjoy this 'twist' to oats.

Oatmeal is one of the heaviest spray grains out there. Always get organic. It also spikes insulin.

[@elisebrown5157]

Cooking it and then letting it cool before reheating and eating supposedly creates more resistant starch, which doesn't spike insulin as much. However, individual results vary according to studies I've seen. Also, there's a brand of sprouted rolled oats you can by by "Farmers We Know." It's available at Costco and specialty markets. This makes the nutrients more bioavailable and limits inflammation grains can cause in some people. It's organic as well, so glyphosate free.

Thank you so much. I am 65 and retired RN. I teach Yoga now and remain active at local Y. Your recipes are excellent. I also have the cholesterol issues related to family history but do not take stations. I will definitely include your recipes into my day.

New sub. Sooo glad I came across your channel today. Haven't felt well for 4 days now. Totally making chili for lunch right now. I believe in nutrtional healing as well since being raised by a health conscious Yoga instructor mom. I'm 63 so I'm right behind you in age.

A video on normal eating habits that were like my grandparents. I am 68 and gained 30 pounds over a course of 20 years. Had never been overweight. Have tried Ketovore, Ketogenic and Carnivore. They did take of the weight but I found that just dropping packaged, man made, seed oils, flour and white sugar also took the weight off. Making your food from whole foods, at home and eating only up to three meals a day is in my opinion much better for you. We eat to much now.

[@lc-g6363]

I also added oats and saw my total cholesterol drop significantly. I prefer the taste and texture of the quick oats but make the steel cut (both organic) in the InstantPot; 1 cup steel cut oats, 4.25 cups water, a dash of salt and a tiny scrape from a vanilla bean or extract. Three minutes on high pressure and then natural release for at least 18 minutes (still a bit chewy so you may like to cook it another minute if you prefer it softer). It looks watery but will thicken up as it sits. I put it in the fridge and it’s enough for 2 of us for a few days. I’ve been able to lose and keep off 45 #’s for over three years with oats for breakfast and my main meal mid-day and just a snack in the evening. Never thought I could do intermittent fasting but it became easy over just a couple of months. I’m in my early 60’s, post menopausal and a 7 year breast cancer survivor. Love your channel!

[@Maggie-zr2ow]

Thanks for sharing your recipe and tips! Have you seen Greger talk about adding spices or herbs to any meal to tremendously increase your antioxidants? I just saw it in a video and started adding Marjoram to most savory dishes. If you wanted, you could add a Pumpkin Spice mix (cinnamon, clove, ginger, etc) to your oatmeal and punch up the antioxidants. Apparently cinnamon helps even out blood glucose too.

[@xassy]

Congratulations on maintaining your weight after menopause! It's very challenging, and I understand this firsthand as a menopause coach who sees many women struggling with weight management every day. You eat very healthy, but I believe your real secret lies in portion control; your portions are notably smaller for a woman of your height. Keep up the great work!

I just added oatmeal last month after reading all about its benefits. It took an hour to get down a serving, so that night, I looked for recipes. Since then, I have 150 calories of the same oatmeal cake every day. 1 and 1/4 cups of oats in the blender and make into powder pour into bowl. 1 cored apple (skin included) chopped up and placed into blender with a squirt of lemon juice. Blend until apple sauce. Add to oat flour. Whisk one egg and add to mixture. Now the stir ins: 1/2 banana thinly sliced and diced, 1 teaspoon of dried berries chopped up even finer (I’ve used raisins and cranberries) and about 7 almonds or the equivalent nut chopped up. The raisins and nuts add texture without overwhelming and depending on calorie constrains you can certainly use more. I add 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice, but just cinnamon is also good, spray 4 cupcake pan openings or an any 2 cup pan with cooking spray and bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. The finished product is very much like a banana nut bread from Germany. I slice mine up into 1/3 inch bits and toast them before spraying with butter spray. I actually cannot start my day without it now!

[@jannarenaz7788]

Thank you Tamara! I absolutely love what I eat in a day videos. You are an inspiration because you eat so healthy. I’m going to try your chili recipe for sure!❤

My kind of cooking! I never get tired of oatmeal and all the ways to prepare it to beef up the protein and/or fiber. (Props to you for being able to add all those broccoli sprouts to a smoothie.)Your gut bugs & brain cells surely love you for eating all those healthy plant foods each day. I don’t understand how some people think a plant based diet is boring.

[@hellodanbi]

I wish you good health and happiness. May you have eternal blessings in your life.❤ I am a survivor of a violent family. It was violent. My mother and my mother survived. I had a brain aneurysm and I still have two brain aneurysms in my head. There are other vascular disorders as well. Anxiety that you don't know when and where it will explode. Due to liver function, kidney function, and hypothyroidism, penance increased by 15kg, making walking and exercising difficult. I continue to treat depression, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and insomnia. I'm still controlling so many emotions in my mind. It's hard and painful. But I want my life to be useful to someone. I want to share, I want to watch. So I started KZbin. It's just beginning. So far, the center of the world is my father. It's heartbreaking and sad. My father justified the violence over his death and I am heartbroken. I'm particularly sensitive to violence and sound. I think it's a problem. I feel weak. It's falling apart. The goal is to get out of pain.

If you haven't already, please consider doing a CAC (calcium cardiac score) test...2 minutes noninvasive. I had high LDL for years, but my diet was great, and all other metrics excellent. But at 65 I did the CAC and found one artery pretty full of calcium so I officially have heart disease and it sets me up for heart attack/stroke. Its an important test that women our age should do just to be safe.

[@whoami-ut1jd]

Enjoyed the video, thank you. We love Bob's Red Mill oatmeal, not the quick kind. Comes in both regular and organic and is loaded with fiber. Would highly recommend! Also, you can add a full can of pumpkin or less (depending on how much other ingredients you have) to your chili. It doesn't add a pumpkin taste, but gives richness to the chili. And pumpkin is full of healthy vitamins. Thanks again for a peek into your life 😊

I also always maintained a very healthy weight and never had any extra weight...until menopause 😕. I noticed I had been making really unhealthy eating choices as I loved to snack on cookies, chips, and crackers and all the rest of it (yup, I know! very unhealthy) It dawned on me that I was craving these things cause I was getting ZERO nutrients from them. I have now started eating the way I did when I was younger (and very similar to you) and have noticed a BIG improvement in a short period of time. Like you said, when you eat nutritionally your body no longer craves junk. Great video!

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Exactly! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@user-lu9vb1fl5d]

I find ‘what I eat’ videos inspiring. Thnx! I love vegetables and smoothies. Dates/nuts are one of my favorite snacks. I have yoghurt and fruit for breakfast most days. Like most of us, I’m trying to eat less empty carbs and sugar. One trick is to just not buy pastry, candy, cookies, etc. If they aren’t in the house, you can’t eat them but my husband has a sweet tooth so I have to be strong willed at times. 🤣

Right?! My weakness is ice cream. If it's in the house I have a VERY hard time controlling myself.

I start every morning with oatmeal with nuts and seeds, blueberries and oat milk. If I get tired of that I make oatmeal bars and have one each morning with yogourt. I also try to have poached eggs on the weekend just to change it up. I have heard there can be a corelation between low estrogen and high cholestoral. My cholestoral goes up and down but right now it is in a good place without medication.

[@bricks4kiz]

Yes, I was about to say the same thing. I make my own saurkraut. I keep it in the frig in a half gallon jar. I put it at room temp to warm it up. You can make your own and add pinaple, jalapeno, and other things into it for flavor. It only takes fresh shredded cabbage and a tsp of salt. I got the crock and weight to make it work properly and reuse the juice for the next batch.

Years ago, when I decided to make a green smoothie, I was soooo hesitant. But one sip and I was hooked ! I throw anything I can in it including wheat bran and hemp seeds, avocado, fresh spinach and mixed frozen fruit. My son and I really enjoy our green smoothies, either store bought (organic of course) or home made. I like almost everything you made in this video. Oatmeal plugs me up, so that's a no for me. I love veggies more than fruit, and am always challenged to get more protein. I enjoy meats, but don't eat a lot of it, I have to be in the mood for it.

[@maryw3432]

I used to have the same problem w oatmeal until I came across a recipe with more liquid in it. 1/2C rolled oats, 2C water (or 1C water, 1C favorite milk), bring to a boil then cook continue to cook on low until done. This takes me about an hour. Could make in slow cooker overnight. The extra liquid in this prevents constipation for me and it’s super creamy and delicious. I make a big batch and store in fridge, reheat in microwave.

[@smoklhoe]

That looks great Tamara! I love the overnight oats but I use almond milk to ad more creaminess for yummines😋 Back many moons ago I remember growing up watching my father eating overnight oats every morning. He passed away last year at 91 and never had issues with high cholesterol! I love your chili! Have you ever tried to use an electric pressure cooker to prepare your meals? I strongly suggest you give it a try, I think you’ll find it very handy! ❤

Oats and oatmeal are two different things here in uk. Oatmeal is a less rolled form of oats and has more ruffage.

[@200Nora]

I am 68, weight 105 lb, on a 90% carnivore diet and few vegetables. Cholesterol LDL does not worries me since my other lipids are in perfect range and my tested arteries are as clean as a whistle. Oats will not work for everybody, especially if you pare it with fruits. Oats of any kind are pure carbohydrates. If you eat them eat with proteins and fats (healthy), the absorption will be slower and the sugar spike not too high. This is my experience and we are all different. Each one of us needs to do their own testing to choose which meals make more sense to them, not the entire population. Besides a couple of things your advice is on point, but always speak of your own experience when informing the public.

[@ShoppingEmail-dr1fs]

Yes, so true for me, I love oats but they throw my blood sugars so have to eat steel cut oats so slower digested, with a scoop of protein powder mixed into my soy milk (I drink cow milk as well but I mix it up), and add chopped nuts to the last bit of cooking to soften and swell them less gut issues that way, add chopped dried date for extra fibre and a bit of cream for more fat. I don't need to eat for about five hours after. A bowl of oats with honey and banana got me collapsed from the sugar effect and after the blood sugar drop was an anxiety attack. Never again.

My vitamix is over 20 years old and going strong. 😊 I'm so thankful for it. I recently started eating whole oat groats for breakfast. I get the next day's oat groats soaking while preparing the current day's. I do 1/4c groats and 2c water ... even after soaking first for 24 hours, I still have to simmer it for about 2 hours. I add 1 medjool date, 4 prunes, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and fennel, along with a small spoon of ghee. After it's cooked, I add 1T freshly ground flax, 1oz walnuts, and 1/4c berries. This has recently replaced my usual lentil porridge, so I'm trying to get lentils in for another meal each day.

While you certainly look gorgeous with your hair pulled back, your bob is just so charming - and I think of it as your 'signature' style.

Thank you Adrian! It took a while for me to find a stylist here that I like. I toyed with the idea of longer hair and had one haircut with a bunch of layers that I I really didn't like...thus the hair up for months on end which got VERY monotonous. Luckily found someone who gave me the best cut ever! It's SO easy! I do feel more me in my new bob...although no doubt as we get into the summer I will wear it up again.

[@lorrainereeves4466]

It’s possible for two people who are reasonably matched to eat the same food but only one lose the weight expected. How our bodies metabolise food, our age and the medication we take react differently to food types and quantities. Finding the right diet for your body is a jungle that can eat you up with feelings of guilt and failure. If I ate what you eat in a day I most definitely would gain weight. At last what you eat and your weight are in harmony with one another and that’s great. I look forward to the day when I can have a slice of that. Glad it’s all going well for you.

[@mellocello187]

I would recommend to blend everything at only add the protein powder at the end, so it doesn’t get “denatured”. Not sure if I read that from Dr. Mark Hyman but maybe. That smoothie is so healthy! All the rest as well. Thank you.

[@barbaran1869]

My husband and I changed our eating style in January 2021. We both have lost quite a bit of weight and our health numbers have improved quite a bit as well. We don’t follow a certain diet but we do prioritize lean meats, veggies, fruit, and healthy fiber. We do eat steel cut oats some mornings. We trade off between that and a yogurt bowl every other day. I cook the oatmeal in the evening when I am making dinner. Then I put it into bowls for the next morning for us. Love this video. Thank you for sharing. ❤
