What I Eat

[@johnjstecher]

I put lemons. Blue berries. Blackberries strawberries And other Fruits in water separate not altogether I use mason jars ❤And drink that instead of store-bought drinks. Sometimes add honey to my lemon water

[@kathyflinn8070]

I like multigrain toast with sugar-free pb, a banana on top and a light drizzle of honey

Hate water taste, so yes lemon and the V8 a good mixer. Trying to up the water...a work in progress as I rarely feel thirsty...

Moderation is great, but not if you need to loose weight especially as we age. You have to lose the weight first (keto worked for me to lose 65 lbs). Now I eat a healthy diet in moderation and have maintained my weight loss for 6 years.

You are clearly doing something right. You look amazing. Healthy, beautiful, energetic, and fit! My favorite snacks are the small peppers, seeded and filled with cottage cheese, sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning. Also cottage cheese blended with a scoop of PB Fit, and a few semi-sweet chocolate chips. Tastes like a Resees peanut butter cup blizzard. And a scoop of lemon collagen powder(vital proteins at costco) mixed into plain yogurt. High in protein and so refreshing.

Unfortunately, smart balance with olive oil also has very processed canola oils in it. There is no margarine that is super healthy at all. Best option is a sprinkle of quality olive oil or maybe a little bit of Quality Dijon mustard or hummus. There are some hummus brands out there that have only olive oil like SSS here in Australia. With a little little bit of googling you will find it. Thanks for your video. Love your arm workout video!

Nothing beats Butter, its actually good for you

There is only one non-dairy alternative that I can recommend, it's called MELT. It's organic, Omega 3/6 balanced, cold pressed, soy, gluten and trans fat free. If memory serves, the tub is slightly different that the sticks, same ingredients but different proportions. Everything else has some major drawback. Not everyone will want the coconut oil, but if one needs to or chooses to avoid dairy and wants yummy, buttery flavor, I suggest they give it a try.

Way to go keeping away from artificial sugar. I’d rather have sugar than the fake stuff.

How do you maintain your protein intake when you don't eat much meat? I love vegetables too but worry that if I don't eat enough protein I will lose muscle mass and feel more tired . Also my hair and nails will suffer if my protein intake is too low. Enjoyed this video. I'm a new subscriber so I need to catch up on your videos.

[@thebookofrevelationreveale4722]

Great question, I wondered the same. I recently lost 30 lbs and did it solely by staying focused on high protein meals. I’m not much of a meat eater either so I keep protein powders and protein bars and drinks on hand. I learned as we age we need more and more protein because our muscles are loosing mass. I found that getting at least 30 grams of protein with each meal keeps me full longer and stops sugar cravings. I’m worried this gal doesn’t get the adequate amount of protein for her aging body.
