I remember when bone broth started, I was like, yeah of course, people have been making stock forever. It's amazing, delicious, nourishing. It's not new or ground breaking. ACV drinking is modern speak for "shrubs" which are a traditional low sugar probiotic refreshing beverage. Greens powders = bitter greens spring "tonics" that people traditionally searched out (like nettles, poke, dandelion) after a winter of blander, non fresh food. Etc etc etc. So to sum up, most "superfoods" just seem like repackaged and overhyped traditional foods, so if you were eating a lot of traditional and whole foods (like Abbey is always recommending) you were "superfooding" before it was trendy!

No sales pitch for a particular way of eating, no idolization of certain body types and no moralizing about weight gain or how heavy you are. Just delicious explanations of why we eat, how we eat, what we eat and why some people just stay thin while others gain weight and why it is counter to our body’s 10,000 year inheritance to lose weight and keep it off!

And they add the suffix "er" to make it a "thing". And the best is "follow-er". So you are no longer just an individual with interests, nope you are a Follower of this Influencer. Can anyone...Anyone...wake up? This is getting too obvious. And we are all acting like we don't know we're playing a game we know is not supporting us. It's ego-obsessed advertisers of their own personal life "influencers" and people literally calling themselves or accepting the title as "followers". In the not so far past, a follow-er is either considered someone who is losing hence they're not creating, or someone that's desperate like a stalker. "I'm following you". Again.... oh my god.

Irish moss used to be used for gelatin desserts before powdered gelatin became popular. I have an old copy of the Boston Cooking School Cookbook from the late 1800s. There’s a few recipes using Irish moss which is a type of algae. Powdered gelatin was seen as a short cut professional chefs didn’t use. It’s funny to see it come around again. It was praised for being good for the infirm. I have chronic pancreatitis and can’t eat a lot of fruits and vegetables so some of these supplements look interesting to me. They’re just so expensive and often don’t offer a trial size container. So you buy a ton of it then have to just eat the price or jump through hoops to get a refund.

I’m not sure if that can be said. When our dog was younger we only fed her raw meat with some supplements (if I recall correctly, bone powder, vegetable powders and stuff like that) we added to it - it was recommended, it is (just as added vegetables) meant to imitate what’s inside the stomach of a smaller animals the dog (wolf) would eat in the nature. It’s called BARF (born again raw feeders) and it’s extremely natural and it has many health benefits if a puppy grows up eating like this. But you have to supplement certain things that you don’t get in meat you buy - would be a bit too difficult to go hunting for your dog lol. We stopped it eventually (after two years I think) because it was complicated and sometimes disgusting, but it’s a good way to feed a dog and puppies who grow up like that benefit a lot. But maybe you meant something else with your comment.

He was all about eating "non-hybrid" foods, so normal veggies like broccoli were prohibited and the only oil he found acceptable to cook with is grapeseed oil. It was madness.

It's about finding what works for you. I can't always prepare fresh vegetables, so I drink cold-pressed juice and eat canned or frozen vegetables. I take a LOT of supplements and I'm on a LOT of prescription medications, but here's the thing: I only change one factor per month. (Or per 60-90 days if evidence shows longer use or build-up is required, or e.g. a psych med requires titrating up.) If I don't feel a difference after 30 days, I stop and see if I then feel worse. This goes for prescriptions (under doctor supervision), OTC meds (doctor or specialist advice or recommendation as well as talking with a holistic practitioner), supplements (I work with my doctors, a nutritionist, and a clinical herbalist), AND major dietary changes. Otherwise, how the heck do you know what thing is helping? IF the thing's helping? It may take longer, but I can tell you that every single thing I'm deliberately doing has made a noticeable difference. Could it be placebo effect for some of them? Sure. Is this much of a cumulative improvement likely to be a placebo effect for ALL the changes I've made? Not likely. (And I had allergic or negative reactions to prescription medications AND herbal supplements FOUR FREAKING TIMES in 2023 so it's not like it's all sunshine and roses and every change makes me feel better, either.) Know yourself and make incremental changes.

I have a hard time getting protein because some of my meds seem to make protein rich food taste nasty, so I started using collagen in my coffee. It dissolves way better than typical protein powders, and has a non noticable impact on flavor, so it's working for me. Supplements are the original YMMV

Hey Abby, what do you think of someone making their own “greens” powder by dehydrating greens and grinding them? Also, I love your channel. I’m leaning to love being myself again and I’ve unfortunately gained like 30 lbs while on my journey repairing my relationship with food but I think it’s okay because I’m 30 lbs up but I’m happier, exercising more and getting more nutrients than before. Plus my weight is starting to drop. Slowly. Very slowly.

If you have a reason you can't eat them, that's cool, why not? but in powder form they lose most of their fibre. They're an inferior substitute, great for people who can't eat veg, not any better for us than the actual veg

@christines2787 Жыл бұрын

@@therabbithat drying is a form of cooking, so some nutrients are lost, but fiber remains the same. I've been drying kale for years to add to smoothie. I'm not sensitive to it, I just hate it. It's ghastly in my opinion. It's also a very hearty plant that not only survives but thrives in the winter garden. I could eat tender baby spinach and Sorel daily, and do in sprint. Summer greens from sweet potatoes and turnips are good and obviously they are abundant.

Thanks for confirming what I already thought. I think these companies just want to make money, eating normal fruits and veg is good enough. If people want to spend some extra cash to improve health, I'd recommend splurging for grass fed, pasture raised, organic meat, dairy, and eggs. If the animal wasn't eating nutritious foods, how can there be much nutrition for us? The results on different egg quality was especially eye opening.

For anybody looking for a cheap and easy way to consume collagen: Family packs of chicken thighs / legs / quarters with skin on We remove the skin and fat and put it in a pot until the fat is rendered and the water evaporates. This is how schmaltz is made (it's healthier than olive oil) Strain the skin out and add it to your chicken bones when making stock. The bones are somewhat difficult to remove from raw chicken so we put the skinned chicken in the oven and then remove the bones after the meat is fully cooked. The bones are used in the broth

I've dealt with extreme thirst for a very long time. I constantly drank water, but could never seem to quench my thirst. Added in the moss and noticed a huge improvement within a few weeks!
