Angela, you are utterly hard core! Simple, clean, healthy, unstoppable! Thank you for sharing your energy on KZbin.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it!

[@ollerpops]

Angela, It sounds like you eat a plant-based/Vegan diet. Awesome! No wonder you're so healthy, trim, focused, and energetic. You are seriously an amazing role model

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. Thanks. It is all about maximizing my day and for me personally, eating healthy makes me feel healthy. And I like feeling his way better than when I lived off junk food. Thank you for your kind words. :-)

[@sunnygirl87]

LOVE your system. As a single working mom, I batch cooked on weekends and froze things. It was cheap and easier. A few years ago, my husband and I went Whole Food Plant Based and found better health. Initially, I did it for finances. I lost 40# easily. I cooked large batches in a few pressure cookers and a rice cooker, froze and packaged it so husband could take lunch to work. His doctors actually credit arrested cancer growth to plant based eating. Stress eating had me gain back the weight from eating junk and rationalizing a bag of chips or vegan fast food was fine and dandy. Your system works, it creates ease by simply opening a freezer to our own pre-made/packaged foods, and it is economical. Thanks for sharing what works for you. Luckily, my husband and I don't mind simple foods. Do what works!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I love your system and congratulations on the weight loss. I love that you found a system that you are willing to follow and works for you as well. That is quite a commitment. Thanks for sharing. :-)

[@femininityfaith7920]

Little tip, from working at a daycare in a nursery (color coding labeling bottles ) electrical tape will not come off in water or washing, electric tape is so durable works better than the painters tape and holds sharpie for monthsss. 💚

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate you dropping me a line. :-)

[@bythegraceofgod993]

I so wish I could have heard this 40 years ago when I started teaching. Teaching is also a very physically demanding job. I rarely took lunch instead I bought it at school. I did take snacks, usually string cheese. But your system sounds so good!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for watching Karen. You know, I was in the same boat, on the road cleaning houses and it found it easy to go through the drive-through and grab a quick something. Turns out that fast food does not inspire me. It's average at best. It's often lifeless, and I am cheap. So, it would be me buying stuff off the dollar menu and then wondering why I felt blah all day. LOL. This system gives me "tote" food (stuff I can throw in a cooler in my car that will last all day without refrigeration.) and go. :-)

[@bythegraceofgod993]

@@AskAngelaBrown I agree. Sometimes they had oranges and bananas in the teachers work took. They tasted so good and were portable. I just thought taking protein in the form of string cheese would be so much better for me.

[@KellyBell1]

I grew up on a farm also and husband and I usually have a vegetable garden every year summer/winter both. Definitely will get your smoothie recipe. Thank you for sharing all of this. Years ago I decided never to eat from a 10” dinner plate again. Our stomachs are roughly the size of our fist…so I use a salad plate or saucer. Lost 47lbs. I’m 5’2” 112lbs and haven’t gained anything back. Great ideas!!!!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Congratulations on your weight loss. Wishing you the best with your garden! 😊

[@dianneennaid6437]

So I started for an agency 2 years ago. I worked so hard and put so much pride in my work and basically got treat like rubbish. We, the £9 an hour cleaners held that company afloat whilst the boss attended not once during the pandemic then sold up after. Anyway long story short my favourite oap customer ended up with covid then never got better as had underlying issues being old and all. The agency was still charging her whilst she was in icu. That was my turning point-she passed away and I had so much ‘ill will’ (got that from you!) for the agency and most the senior staff. I set up on my own in November-I’m a single mum to 4 kids! I basically walked away from my regular income cos of this I’ll will. I was told ‘it’s lovely being close to customers but it’s not professional’ I was like ‘but charging an 85 year old when they’re in hospital dying? That is professional!?’ Anyway I lost my favourite customer it hit me hard as her granddaughter gave her the covid and I had so many mixed emotions as she had sheltered and I still cleaned and she never got it... a whole different story... Anyway 3 months later I’m fully booked, took on my first cleaner as I’m getting so busy-my shoulders are already tired so thinking of hiring a couple helping hands. Today I got my 26th 5 star google review too which I’m super proud of! Your videos have helped me like a million percent in the past few weeks of me watching them! Today watching your ‘what to do if someone hits on you’ vid. I was screaming laughing. Pepper spray is illegal in my county so that particularly tickled me. But the roses scenario ‘I’ll leave them here for you to enjoy!’ I was in hysterics... I was cleaning with my AirPods in listening to you! My customers must’ve thought I... realised I was crazy !!!! 🤓🥰

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Dianne, I am so sorry that your favorite customer passed away and your previous job was unkind to you. Congratulations on all your achievements with opening your own business and the wonderful reviews. I am so happy for you. Keep me posted on how things are going. 😊

[@biarosalina]

To me I come from a family that loves food authentic recipes all the way to fast food. Right now I’m on a cleanse that involves me eating large meals. I like how reliable Angela is. I watch all these influencer who know plenty about nutrition but I immediately clicked on cause I knew she had something different to bring to the table. I may try this cause I’m tired of relying on coffee and crashing after each meal. Thank you

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for sharing your story! Glad to be helpful

[@heatherofthemountains]

This is SOOOOOO on point!!!! It's really simple and people get discouraged because they have been given this idea that folks who are healthy eat in this extravagant way. NO! LOL We eat for comfort and fuel. The biggest thing for people to overcome is their reliance upon serotonin hits that they have only ever experienced from their indulgence of certain foods. If they were to try different ways of getting that serotonin they would actually find that they only ever think of food when they become uncomfortable from lack of sugar, etc. They'll then learn to eat in a proactive manner, simply to avoid the discomfort of genuine hunger pangs. I know this from personal experience with my own diet habits. This has been the best method I've found for satisfying my need of food on a healthy level. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Super refreshing to hear true experience and true results instead of pushing a trend that may earn you more views. 😄

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗

[@littlestbroccoli]

My partner and I LOVE to make food from scratch and we'd both probably spend all day every day in the kitchen if we could. However, the world is not set up for that, and I'm often frustrated at how little time I have to make meals and to prep for the next day. I think this system is really good, it will help to keep some grab-and-go snacks and little meals ready for the times we can't cook for our future selves. Thanks again, Angela!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You’re welcome. Thank you so much for watching the show and leaving a comment. 👍

[@jo-annemurphy2921]

I bring small containers of fresh fruit nuts cheese and always water to my jobs. We burn so many calories sometimes you have to grab something to sustain you.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

These are great tips. Thanks for sharing. And you're right, we burn so much fuel, we need to keep the momentum going which means ongoing food. :-)

[@sadiebeast97]

So awesome of you to share your system! I eat in a very similar way, but I just learned soooo much more watching you! I eat fresh and mostly whole food plant based, but I never thought to freeze portions. I do bake several sweet potatoes and regular potatoes and bring one with me and eat at room temp. I try to cook once per week. I try to eat by myself at work because I don't think my coworkers would get it the way I eat. Not eating meat throws everyone off already, eat a cold sweet potato in front of them and they will really think I have gone crazy! LOL. Finally, thanks for the tip on avocados, didn't know they could be frozen!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. I think my coworkers think I'm crazy for the same reasons. I eat my lunch by myself as well. We are twins. 😂

[@sylviakoresh4161]

Thanks Angela! Tweaked my breakfasts, found that polenta, high protein cottage cheese and eggs keep me going the whole day of cleaning for clients and coincidentally i also have grapes as a snack when they're in season. You do work up an appetite in this job!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for sharing, those are great foods to keep your energy up!!👏👏👏

[@light487]

I know this isn’t a cooking show, but I’d love to see a cooking day that you do. I struggle with meal prep.. not knowing what to buy, how much to buy, how to prep. I know you covered a lot of this here on this video.. but I’d love a more detailed look at one of your cooking days and buying days. Thanks.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Here's short I did that you may find helpful: kzbin.infobzTypEmOA84 There is also information in the description box of that show about meal prepping. Hope this helps. 👍

[@spencers0619]

LOVED this so much!!!! Nutritious whole foods & simplicity for the win!! Thank you for showing how you personally do this. Great tips and ideas for busy families & kids too. So happy for your husband-he must feel so much better! Very inspiring!!! Who doesn’t want better health & all-day energy, right?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, you're correct - I'm a healthier, happier person when I eat right. I don't know why but my digestive system is sensitive. I have lots of allergies and if I eat heavy carbs I'm in a food coma within 15 minutes after the meal and sleeping like a baby. My days need my body and brain functioning at max capacity and I find the whole foods does it for me. :-)

[@tinygypsy3707]

You’ve really inspired me to get back to eating right again. I’ve really back slid last few months. You reminded me that I really did feel so much better I was eating fruits and veggies consistently

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You can do it! Keep me posted. I'm here rooting for you.

[@heatherelliot3202]

Angela this is honestly one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched. My husband and I need to lose quite a bit of weight and I really think this system would work for us. Thankyou so much for sharing this!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Heather, my husband is down 100lbs and has kept it off now for several years using this method. The food is not fancy, but it's healthy, and you adjust to it. It does take about 3 weeks to get the carbs, and sugar cravings out of your system, and then your energy skyrockets, you don't have the mid day crashes and that feeling of constant fatigue lifts like a cloud and gets blown away. Keep me posted and let me know how it works for you. I've never been happier. NOTE: We do go out once a week and eat a meal where anything goes. Just so if we feel we need a treat, or pasta or whatever we give ourselves permission. We've also been doing this for many years. That said, I still eat pretty much the same things as at home - maybe splurge on something like fries or potato salad, but I have not needed or wanted any sweets in months.

[@heatherelliot3202]

Today I bought all the tubs and bottles and ingredients. We are so excited, thank you so much x

[@TuzoAnime]

S Tier meal preparer. Respect. I also meal prep, weekly. I eat two big meals per day. Oatmeal for breakfast and a quesadilla for lunch. I log every calorie, I get all nutrients and macros. Small meals did not work me, but that’s okay. Whatever is sustainable in the long run wins.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That's great! If it works for you, stick to that. Thanks for chiming in, I appreciate it!

[@ruthlessss]

Thank you for making this video! As a fellow house cleaner, I have to confess that there’ve been times that I’ve skipped meals trying to get the job done. I know that I shouldn’t and that it’s not good for me. I’m going to try the smoothie trick and follow your recipe. Thank you so much for all of the timely videos. It’s truly appreciated!! :)

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You're welcome. The smoothie trick I love because my water bottle holds 16 ounces. If I take 4 x swigs during the day of roughly 4 oz each it's the equivalent of 4 small meals of health during the job. Keeps my energy up and healthy long-lasting fuel funneling through my body and brain.

[@christirowland858]

Just talking about this with my friend. Said it before...I'll say it again..You are a 💎 GEM!! Thank you for your suggestions, expert advice, or just an opinion (because you've been through stuff we can relate to). Happy🌾🦃 Thanksgiving🦃🌾to you & EVERYONE!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks, Christi for the kind words and good wishes. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well. 🌾🦃

[@slc1161]

Love it! I’m type 2 diabetic and have no interest in making meals all fancy. I have lost some weight but not by eating well. Eating 1 small meal and an unhealthy snack. I believe this system would help me get away from crud that I eat.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The secret is to give up preservatives. If it comes in a box or a bag cut it out of your diet. That is a great place to start. Lots of the prepackaged foods we buy don't have the fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals or nutrients our bodies actually need.

[@michaelmagretto8607]

I love the fact that you give thought to how and why to everyday activities. You Rock!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks. I'm living life on purpose rather than drifting aimlessly through every day. For me it's normal to question everything. :-)

[@patrickmarcoux4937]

I know you're kind of undermining your choices/the simplicity of it- but it really is a big deal, important to talk about and raise awareness of. For example, I wouldn't have thought to cook the yams in a crock pot, to do that with the squash, or to rice up the cauliflower, even though I eat all those things in general. After watching your video, I could see myself eating all those things by themselves though, throughout the day and feeling satisfied. It's easy to get overwhelmed and not know where to start- or to even over-complicate eating healthy so much that it becomes hard to think simply/organize a routine and envision the follow-through (give up!). My partner is diabetic and is doing good with her meals/is controlling her diabetes and losing weight, but I don't like any of those foods (coconut flour, substitute sugars, etc.) I've been trying to figure out how to do "food" with my busy schedule/intermittent breaks throughout the day, without artificial sugars/increase nutritional content/eat appropr. calories, etc. I'm going to try this system for myself, and am so excited about it. Thank you so much for sharing (and I know you think it's simple, but I wouldn't mind hearing about other food that you put in the containers/in each category/what freezes well, etc.)... tbh, I have ADHD and a lot of the times, I just get overwhelmed, so your information is really helping me.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I’m so glad you liked the ideas in the video. If you try any of them let me know what your thoughts are on the foods and the system : )

[@teresabrennan426]

A kindred spirit! Thank you!!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you!! 😍

[@ayesiabedward8525]

I love it. Thats the way to Go! Thanks for sharing Angela.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Glad you think so! Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂

[@gaillouviere8471]

What an awesome food/eating plan! I'm a fan of crockpots as well as smoothies! I do bulk slow cooking and individual packing for freezing. Today, I stewed 3 pounds of apples in a crockpot. Love, love your videos and your energy.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That’s great that you also enjoy bulk slow cooking. What’s your favorite recipe?

[@catfrog79]

Your videos are so helpful! I watch your videos everyday instead of scrolling social media. Super helpful! I appreciate you!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Glad you like them!

[@jenniferwelch]

[@Charley711away711]

I'm glad you have the protein shake! Muscles are fed by protein. You look at food as FUEL and that is how we all should.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Food is fuel. And the protein shakes definitely help.

[@janetrettig9167]

I am so glad I found you! You seem so down-to-earth and intelligent. You are changing the world around me. And here I thought that you were "just" a housecleaner. You have it together in so many areas of daily life. I will try this method of eating and cleaning out the clutter at my home and ideas for running a business along with so much more. God Bless you.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I don't always have it together. Give my methods a try and see if it works for you. Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗

[@TheFractalStorySpinner]

You'd done a video like this before. I so appreciate that you did some further explaining. Lately, I'm converting all the raw food in my freezer to freezer meals. Items that are already cooked and portioned for two, that I can reheat and move on with my day - hubs and I both work from home these days) I've been buying regular food, fruits and vegetables, and doing like you - processing it and freezing it in smaller containers. Thanks for the ideas and the motivation.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Glad it was helpful! We have to do what we can to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

[@jrmint2]

This food system is a whole new level of inspiration! Love these ideas!!

I feel tired all the time. My body even hurts! I think I need to go back to eating my fresh fruits and veggies. I used to pack fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, plain yogurt, and my lunches were very simple. I was thinking how did I keep up with all the running around, still came home to kids, cook, and clean. I’m going back to my eating habits. That also helped maintain my body Weight and energy.

This is a great plan. Keep me updated on how you are feeling. 👍

Thank you so much! Avocados regularly go bad in my house. So I will definitely start to mash and freeze them. We recently went vegan and I am standing constantly in the kitchen to cook beans and sweet potatoes. I will incorporate your mashing and freezing regimen into my kitchen. Thank you so much.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Oh no. Now that you mention it - I'm 2,500 miles from home on a business trip and I've got 4 avocados sitting on a counter at home, that were almost ripe . When I return home they will for sure be spoiled. :-(

[@terrydunn4474]

I'm going to try this out! It looks very simple and much healthier!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I'm all about keep it simple. LOL. And it removes the guesswork from my shopping, and meal planning. :-)

Very interesting bc I’m a nurse on the road & this is perfect containers portions & I can eat some but supplement other. But it helped a lot Ty!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I am so glad you found this method helpful. I appreciate you reaching out to leave a comment to let me know. 👍

[@trishmorton2035]

Brilliant video. This was very helpful to me thank you. I actually started a new way of eating half way through the video.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That is wonderful, glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! Hope you stick to your new way of eating...enjoy!!

[@TeeBoyd88]

This has been the kick start I needed to get back into Whole Foods again. Those small containers are much less daunting than some others I've been following. I can definitely follow this. Cheers :)

[@AskAngelaBrown]

+Mrs B It’s super easy to do, the food tastes good, there’s a little or no waste, and eating this way keeps up your energy all day. Keep me posted and let me know how it goes for you. And thanks for watching. 😁

You control the quantity u eating 🍽 brilliant idea thank you

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Glad you think so, thanks!

[@alixcriswell9529]

Angela, happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! This video was particularly helpful and interesting. I struggle with my weight and plan to borrow some of your excellent ideas so I can eat better and maintain a more consistent energy level each day. Thanks so much for all you do!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks, for the kind words and good wishes. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well. 🌾🦃

[@carmenwalker5788]

Great video Angela ! As a type 2 diabetic, who does hospital housekeeping for a living, this is a great idea. I lose energy sometimes, when I am super busy. Thank You as always for this video :D

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for watching. I know that most busy people forget to eat regularly. Forgetting can mess with your sugar levels, your attitude and your moods.

[@carmenwalker5788]

@@AskAngelaBrown Oh I agree ! I try to sit down at my usual dinner time which is 6 PM. I work afternoon shift, and I do my best to eat properly. My moods definitely become affected as well lol. Thanks for responding :) Oh and Happy Thanksgiving seeing I'm from Canada ! Hope you have a wonderful day.

I just had the smoothie but with almond milk and more protein powder since I did not have the pb and I can refrigerate since I work from home. Delicious, filling and refreshing! Thanks

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yay! I am thrilled you tried it. Thanks for the feedback and letting me know you gave it a try. 😍

[@badkiti7601]

Thank you 💟

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂

[@shelleyphillips9439]

Thank you for showing what you eat in a day. I am also a house cleaner. I make enough oatmeal for the week. I add hemp hearts and figs. My lunch is raw veggies and fruit as well but I need to add protein so I add 2 boiled eggs which I make at the beginning of the week. I also add a smoothies with blue berries banana and protein powder. I also add avocado and Spinach. For me I need protein to feel full longer . Thanks for your tips.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Shelley, Thanks for sharing your weekly menu. I appreciate it! 👍

[@gabrielaesparza3111]

Amazing!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shepherdsbell7678]

Yes! You are awesome. I eat mostly like you, but not as orderly. I will try this.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for joining me and for sharing my enthusiasm for eating well. Keep me posted and share any tips you come across. I'm always looking for ways to improve what I'm doing. 🤗

[@aliciayebra2886]

I clean houses . I am mexican and I love your videos.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Awesome! Thank you for watching! Happy Holidays. 🎄😊

[@SeleneMoonBird]

I don't enjoy cooking either. And I love easy and quick as I tend to forget about eating until I'm HANGRY. I also am not a fan of cooking meat, so your system is so awesome to me! I'll just keep my spices and add them when I eat the stuff. This systeme is a good way to keep things where both spicy (me) and non-spicy lovers can eat together easily. Thank you so much for all the information and great ideas! I'm not a house cleaner by trade, but I was previously a dental hygienist (so a different kind of cleaner :) I like to say) and I love your channel and videos! Thank you again for sharing such great ideas and an awesome system! I'm defintely going to try this. I'm pretty sure it'll be a keeper. :) Have a great and happy 2022! :)

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks, Angela, for your kind words and for joining the conversation. Keep me posted on your food prep, and if you stumble on any good tips - do share. I love this kind of easy meal prep with eating-on-the-go healthy options. 👏👏👏

[@kimzumberger7174]

This is Brilliant. So straight forward, simple, and a new way to think about consuming a variety of food over the entire day instead of thinking about stopping for a "lunch break" that has to include a little of everything.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks Kim. It is a system that works really well for me and has for years. And I love the natural energy I get from it compared to sugary caffeinated drinks that I used to drink for a "boost" of energy. This way is better for my body and brain.

[@mebythesea5]

What do you like for breakfast? This video was amazing - so many wonderful ideas. Thank you! 💕

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I usually drink smoothies for breakfast and lunch. I sip on them through the morning and afternoon and it keeps my energy up without too much digestive processing.

[@carolstout7978]

Fabulous!!!

Thanks so much for this helpful video! Food for fuel!! Time to start meal prepping 🙌

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You're welcome! You got this!! Thanks for watching. 🙂

[@sherrydufrenne3832]

Thanks for sharing I do like the containers and I do like the idea I really love your idea and tips from the avocado I will definitely use that. It’s pretty cool about knowing what the portions are and only having to cook once a month I’m definitely going to take the ideas that you’ve presented to us and make it my own thank you.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You are so welcome! So glad that you want to try this. Thanks for feedback and for watching!

Another great video

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks again! It keeps me going (and from getting grumpy due to low blood sugar)

Whole foods are key. Great tips.

This looks great. Looks like total Whole Foods plant based. My goal is to be 90 percent wfpb. Great video.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks. The coolest part is how streamlined our days have become with minimal food prep. My husband did surprise me the other day with half of a peanut butter sandwich. (LOL. It was such a treat, but I was thinking "Hey, where's the other half?" LOL.)

[@kikitauer]

So this is the video I truly enjoyed! Good for you you were able to find a system that works for you! I love cooking but I get tired easily. So I usually cook once a week a big meal and eat it the whole week. Some people say they need more diversity but it works for me 👍 I don't mean to be intrusive and I apologize for making a comment about your diet. Please don't forget about other foods. The variety is important because of the vitamins and such (like B12). I am sure you know all this. I am just saying this for 0.0000001% possibility that you don't 😉 Also thank you for the smoothie recipe! I will definitely try it! 🌟

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Let me know what you think of the smoothie!

[@MyViolingirl]

The little containers are genius portion control!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It's true. If you want more, you can always heat up more, but it's usually too much of a hassle once you're half way through a meal. And the cool thing about the little meals is it tricks you into thinking you have eaten a real meal - so you feel satisfied, get some nourishment and then you are not so full you can't move around or you fall into a food coma.

[@MyViolingirl]

@@AskAngelaBrown real food and all those steps is why you are slender!! I am my own house cleaner - (8 bathrooms/ 9000+sq ft) mopping all the hardwoods + daily workouts keeping me fit!! (And real food!)
