What my FRENCH mom eats in a day! Two full days of eating after menopause.| Edukale

[@lostkittenxx]

Rather than an "almond mom", she seems like an "olive oil mum", health conscious but not interested in overly restricting or demonizing food. I like the approach of eating nutrient dense meals, but also making room for chocolate and biscuits to go with her coffee. I'm currently working towards that kind of balance and it's very inspiring. Thank you, Lucie (and mum)! xx

[@Edukalebylucie]

That's the way I see it too! Thank you!

[@sailstomars]

You nailed it with this comment!

[@coconutvanilla7746]

fully agree with this comment, couldn't have said it any better :)

[@soilgrasswaterair]

It’s a similar mindset to the Scandinavian approach to eating and food in general. I was raised in a Scandinavian home and we ate full fat dairy products, home made müsli/granola, olive oil, homemade whole wheat bread, whole grain pasta/rice. Soup and salads for lunch and coffee breaks twice a day with something sweet sometimes (but more a few squares of dark chocolate and never more than 4 squares). Fish twice a week, lean meat, poultry and venison for protein and lts of legumes and vegan/vegetarian Us kids would only be allowed to have candy once a week on Saturdays. The thought is to be full and stay full on homemade meals with no empty calories. No diet products! No skipping meals ever to keep it even and also being taught early on that you eat for fuel and not mainly for taste. Bread is never removed, but it’s rye bread or whole wheat/grain and often with seeds and nuts in it. Fresh fruit and never dried fruit. Processed foods is a no in most Scandinavian homes.

I adore your Mom. I wish she would start her own channel. She is a joy. Please include her more often in yours. 🌸🍃🌸

[@Rachel-h3n]

Shout out to your awesome Mum, I'm over 40 and seeing a healthy, vibrant lady with elegant, understated beauty and no artificial anything... it's so welcome ❤

[@GeraldineKoh]

I had to replay n google this… The study found that chopping broccoli into small pieces before cooking it helped maintain its levels of sulforaphane, a phytochemical shown to protect you from cancer. Why? Chopping, thus creating more surface area, allows air to activate an enzyme that promotes the production of sulforaphane.

[@lisar3944]

I had no idea what she was talking about - thank you so much for adding this detail! I love broccoli and will be cutting it "early" from now on

[@karlabritfeld7104]

This sounds ridiculous

[@mariamkarjiker301]

I am of your mom's age and really enjoy her balanced attitude to food. Lots of love ftom South Africa ❤❤❤

[@nicoleh.3261]

Your mom is so beautiful and so gracious to allow us this peek into her days ❤.

[@jennifersmith9892]

I love the videos featuring your mom as I am about her age and also in menopause. I always get great ideas from her recipes and healthy attitude towards food. Thanks for listening to your ( older ) subscribers and giving us more content for our stage of life. ❤❤❤

[@MiaK06]

Don’t know about anyone else but must have watched this little video so many times. Every time I need a bit of a reminder of what proper healthy balanced eating looks like, I gravitate towards it. Just love it. This to me is the picture of health, balance, common sense and just sheer enjoyment of good food!

[@jguitar23]

Funny how reasonable eating has become so rare. Seems like a nature video, French woman in her natural habitat! Bravo en tout cas🎉

[@thecatsister3040]

I love this video. It teaches us how life can be simplified but still taste awesome. And I love the provence, i wish I can buy home there one day.

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, such a great goal!

[@calmeats-danielamodesto]

As a mother myself and health conscious but not over the top obsessive (I like wine and chocolate), I truly enjoy the down to earth approach and especially how fiber rich and vibrant these recipes are! Thank you for sharing!

[@Princess999663]

So many great ideas for meals. Thank you and your beautiful mother. She needs her own channel.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you! And yes I've been telling her that!!

[@rosaliep2860]

Love how slowly she cuts vegetables. Maybe it was for the video but I’m French too and I always take my time to cut and cook, which makes my own mother, who is German, quite crazy 😂 I grew up in France and I obviously picked up on this very slow life concept, I love watching it now, it’s very relaxing !

[@Vaness.717]

Abolument parfait , completement en ligne avec cette façon de manger ! A real healthy relationship with food with well balanced meals .. I grew up with this french culture and i am 49 years old living in UK for more than 20 years and still follow this way of eating ! Merci pour partager cela et surtout que cela aide les femmes á enfin se réconcilier avec la nourriture …

[@janecrossley3153]

I am from the UK and love France and French food culture! Like millions of others, so glad we still have French people living here too🥐☕

[@pennPi]

Such a good point to listen to your body. I was programmed to always eat breakfast growing up, to the point of forcing myself when I had no appetite. These days I’m trying to break that habit especially when there are studies about the positive effects of intermittent fasting. My natural response is to eat 16 hours from my last meal the night before, but sometimes it is sooner if I didn’t eat enough or exercised.

[@afroditigreekmom]

Thank you, it is realistic and a doable way of eating. Please thank your mom for making the time to share it with us.

[@PippaRose1]

I love this video so much ive watched it twice. Informative but not pretentious like other 'what I eat in a day' videos

[@jlovesblue]

Absolutely love these videos! They are so relaxing. I think your own recipe book would be an amazing resource - not just individual recipes, but showing how to take that recipe and turn it into a balanced meal. Keep up the good work!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much!

[@martinegiddings557]

Your mum is wonderful. I love the simplicity of her cooking, yet each dish looks amazing and I know is very healthy. Yes please, let's see more of your mum! xxx

[@kathrynbellerose6216]

You mom is beautiful. I have always noticed that French women are very stylish and calorie and health conscious. They always look much younger than they are. Oh yes menopause what drove me nuts were the hot flashes and inability to sleep.😊

[@Edukalebylucie]

Aww thank you so much!

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Your mum is class exemplified!

[@sashal.n9454]

Shes my hero. Wish my mom took care of herself like this!😊

[@sarahirwin6631]

the chocolate with the coffee is a new ritual I'm steallllin

[@ECHO-yi8je]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful mother and a peek into her healthy and graceful life! I too am in menopause and have tried so hard to to find a balance where I do not feel deprived. Please continue to create more videos with your mother and I will continue to watch and admire :)

[@smiffy4ever1]

Wau, this is very inspirational. Your Mum is so sweet. I have been struggling with healthy eating, I start well, but later reach for some unhealthy snacks and this is video has helped me and inspired me :). THANK YOU!!!!

[@nahoooli]

I love these videos. They are delightful to watch and quite helpful! Ive gotta say Ive personally cooked all the meals you’ve shown and they’ve become staples in my house - delicious, beautiful and balanced meals.

[@carolking6355]

What a pleasure to see someone eating healthy food. So many people now eat just fried foods. eg fish and chips. The only item I would not eat is egg plant. I had some on a trip to Germany and thought it tasted like mothballs. Perhaps it was how they cooked it. Loved this video ❤

[@lisahooper7578]

I love seeing seeing your mom! I'm her age and she inspires me. She's so nice, pretty, smart and healthy! Tell her hi from Colorado, USA! ;-)

[@jeckellstallworth]

Love these videos! It is encouraging to see just how many vegetables she eats, nit in a week, but in a day. As an American, I can certainly incorporate this into my lifestyle. Thank you for sharing 😊❤

[@bristolcorvid8894]

Wonderful charm and intelligence in this lady.🌟

[@sianwarwick633]

Some good meal ingredients for me to try in my meals. Thanks for showing and explaining how she has variety and balance in meals throughout the day

[@JiZd-xj1ok]

cut broccoli at least 30 minutes (at approximately at 4.44 in video) before using/cooking to get all the benefits of the sulfurates . . . do tell! have never heard of this before

[@brendastevens9077]

You have such a beautiful sweet Mother. She is such a a delight!! I Love seeing her here, with you.🤗❤️❤️

[@tiffanys9493]

Intuitive eating. I’m practicing that now and I’ve noticed my snacking has dropped off significantly. I’m 57.

[@donnaaddy7265]

I loved this video and thoroughly enjoyed seeing what your mom eats in a day. What a pleasure! More please!

[@debrasams2362]

I absolutely loved this video!! I want to come eat with your mom. The dishes she prepared look so good. Thanks to both of you for inspirational cooking ideas.❤😊

[@kylaodonnell5016]

Really love the videos with your mum! What a healthy way of eating. Really great. Your mum looks fabulous! Would it please be possible to ask what products your mum uses on her skin? It looks radiant 🙏❤️

[@steph744]

as a french I find this very realsitic

[@mirnaissa4394]

[@aysenuri2419]

I love her posture

[@wwredgrl1515]

I have been so sick since April and tonight I went w/ inspiration from you. I made a meal with garlic, onion, potato, white beans, tomatoes and on the side a mix of rice with quinoa

[@Sylviadrawsthings]

You and your mum are so cute! Love your videos Lucie, so inspiring and yet so simple 🤍

[@JimCarner777]

8:20 Do those massive tomatoes actually taste of anything? Here in the UK the larger the tomatoes the more bland they are (we have large tomatoes called beef tomatoes, but they look tiny compared to the irradiated tomatoes you have in the south of France). The best-tasting tomatoes imo are small ones like cherry tomatoes, baby tomatoes, plum tomatoes, etc.

[@deborahgodley6980]

So healthy yet hearty and balanced and tasty.Fruits for desserts,little snacks in small quantities,veggies proteins,plenty of salads and veggies.This type of eating is why French women are rarely fat.

[@Juliajustjoined]

Please make more videos of your mommy we love her lifestyle

[@coconutvanilla7746]

I loved this video! ❤ really love the simplicity and effortlessness about your mom’s way of eating. She’s so adorable as well 🥰

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!

Hi! I'd love to know what your mom does in between cooking and eating. What are her hobbies, and her job? Thank you.

[@tgawron2233]

Thank you and merci to you beautiful ladies. From USA

[@RS-xu3he]

i prefer when your mum says what she's doing and what she's using

[@bibianesproule6585]

Nicely done - loved watching all the neat recipes and ideas!! Thank you to "maman" lovely lady!!

[@asztaloseva2716]

According to this, it's just a legend that French women don't snack. By the way, in your opinion, what's the difference between dessert and a snack? Is it just the consumption time? What type of cookies does your mom have with coffee?

[@lidia.tortosa]

Great video Lucie and Lucie's mum 🙂 I like the simple recipe ideas and French way of life you guys showed. Maybe you can also include for us some small clips of your day in between meals like what you get up to in Provence for another video. Awesome video, thanks for sharing ❤

[@oneprettyrose1848]

Also she had two coffees..( coffee suppresses hunger for those who did not know.) I drink coffee & it’s great for controlling your appetite .but I’ll have a snack or meal before hand since it gives you super hunger pangs if you don’t .

[@rosjierandevelynhall9421]

This is fabulous !!! More more more !

[@oksanahaybach6670]

It is great video and Idea to watch your mom cooking! Thank you so much for sharing it! It will be very useful to have recipes in comments or just a list of ingredients. Please please🙏🏻

[@DonnaJoshi]

I really enjoyed this video. Your mother is beautiful and what a great figure you both have. I love how simple and homey this video is. I was wondering if you both have always been vegetarian? My husband's parents are vegetarian. His dad is 90 and his mother is 83. Have a blessed day!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much! I've been fully vegetarian for about 7 years, I was pescatarian for about 3 years before that! And she's been pescatarian for about 10 years I'd say

[@bubus682]

Wow your mom is beautiful and graceful.

[@helenebach3440]

Aww thank you!

[@FunnySpruce]

Your mom is around my age. I love seeing what a French mom eats.. I feel like here in the USA there is too much processed foods. I love salads, fish, a handfull of almonds and dark chocolate. (NOTE: expected to hear French music...too American for me.

[@lorienrhiannonmorganpaulson]

Such a heartwarming video. X

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you!!

[@kfx216]

Very inspirational to see what a vegetarian woman of about my age eats! Love the idea of mixing whole wheat and white - for the rice I'm guessing you cook the brown rice for a while then add the white?

[@Coolgal867]

Good one! Thanks to both of you for doing this👍🏼

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed!

[@antonydelmonte6306]

I am in love with your Mom. She is beautiful. The meals look fantastic

[@christieprescott5450]

Love the tips!! Thank you!!! Also, where is this location?! I’m hoping to visit France soon and this looks like a great place to visit! I heard that Nice is very crowded but there’s some other pretty towns near Nice

[@Anamaria2301]

Do marriages last better in France than in many other countries?.. or how do french women have time for all the beauty work, taking care of themselves, cooking fresh food everyday etc? Or do many of them have an extremely good, well-paying work place where they can do short workdays? Certainly I don't mean to offend, I admire and envy this life style!

[@cwednesday]

I think that our divorce rate is only a little better than in the US. We don't spend as much time grooming as women in the States, in my opinion (I've lived in both places). We do less makeup, less nails, less hair, etc. Our work days are long, but we have more vacation time and better boundaries with set lunch hours for example.

[@laurapiotukh8695]

In the US, they strive for perfection; here, we embrace imperfection and enhance what nature has given us.

Hey Lucie, thank you for the videos and the effort you take to make them. I truly enjoy them. In one of the videos with your mum, she mentions she picks her vegetarian recipes for the week from some cookbooks. Would she mind sharing the names of some of these books?

Do you have any advice for eating in menopause? It seems like the weight comes on easily and doesn’t budge? How do French women handle eating around that? Do they alter their diets in peri or post menopause?
