even if a skinny person does overeat one day, they eat a lot less the next day subconsciously. because that excess energy from the overeating will carry over into the next day and they will be less hungry.

I have an eating disorder but this video actually helps me. I have a binging disorder. I'm learning to train myself to eat intuitively, until I'm actually satisfied and not full.

Two things that have really blown my mind, and has opened up my mind from this video has been: 1. Being stuffed is an unacceptable state to be in - not "uncomfortable" , not "bad", it is simply a state that should never happen, actually such a step change. 2. The food you are craving, or want to eat now will exist and be attainable tomorrow too. Amazing video, thank you for this! ❤😊

Also as a skinny person I realized that on days were I do eat a ton, the next day I eat very little to anything, simply because I’m not hungry. Also I subconsciously skip a lot of meals because I’m not hungry and only really eat when My stomach is literally growling

This is so true. Even if you see your skinny friends eat a lot, this is not a habit, they're only out eating with you. When they're alone, their habits are different. It's the consistency that drives change

I love your direct, no-nonsense tone. I feel like it's been a long time since I've even heard people use the words "skinny" and "fat" and it was refreshing to hear a simple message without cushioning.

Girl your 26 I thought you where 19

i've always been naturally thin, but my thinnest was when i had absolutely zero preoccupation with food. i was so busy & walked so much, food was an inconvenience to even think about! i'm glad i'm not that thin any more, i was borderline underweight.

Love the disclaimer! I went on a two week trip with a naturally slim friend, her choices were very healthy and she ate smaller portions, more often. Although there are some people who eat so much and are skinny! But as you say they must not eat like that every day.

The disclaimer is on point 💯🔥

Something i as a skinny person would add is to chew your food thorougly. This way you`re more aware of what you eat, you are eating slower and therefore less.

I agree with all of this. I dislike overeating. The only time I ever indulge a bit more is if I am at a restaurant and enjoying the food. I don't go out to eat very often. I eat slow and enjoy my food. I did gain weight during my pregnancies and menopause but lost it eventually. I walk but no longer do any other exercises because of the strain on my older body like my knees, lower back and hips. I don't eat any special foods. I eat the foods I like but eat less of the sweets. I weigh myself probably about once a week (for a long time I did not weigh myself but then found out I needed to start doing that again) to track weigh gain and weigh loss as well. I like my clothes to fit well and not have to worry about "muffin top." People so often comment to me that I can eat whatever I want and stay thin. That is not true at all. Was true when I was a young teen but those days are long over. I have to make an effort. I feel it is worth it because it makes me feel more youthful to be thin. I'm the weight I was in my mid to late twenties (some other times in my life, too.) I don't like the feeling of just letting myself go and not caring. I did that for a while; I figured I was older and what does it matter. Why fight it. Well, it is worth it to look the way you want and fit into the clothes you want to wear.

At the beginning when she speaks about thin people being force fed and that's why they gain weight, i began to realize that, that was the key factor of literally my entire weight gain. I was a natural thin person when i started puberty. I had a normal metabolism, so it took me about 1-2 years to over the time gain weight. At first there wasn't anything noticeable, but soon i realized i was bigger than i originally was. And all of it was because of My parents force feeding me. They always didn't think about it, it was always "eat more, eat more" or "you must finish everything on your plate" You know the usual sayings. I felt guilty if i didn't finish my food so then i began to eat when i didn't feel hunger, i saw my siblings eat and i immediately resorted to food. Even when I'm not hungry. I've lost 40 pounds over the last 4 months and im still striving to lose 10 more :). So i hope this helps me, and helps anyone else out there !!! We got this budd

Why I am skinny? Answer: My favourite food is watermelon 😑

A good point is also to include in your day an acitivity that you really enjoy - it can replace the amount of dopamine which you used to get from food. It really works😊🌟

not finishing my food is so hard 😭

Got a fried chicken ad halfway through the video 😂. Been skinny all my life. The tips are true. Socializing > actually eating. Skipping meals. Only eating when really hungry. Stop when you're not feeling hungry. Eat anything you like but small portions.

So important to be not greedy about food! I see this happens a lot in buffets where people stuff their faces because they want to eat all the king crab legs or all the sashimi salmon and then they get stuffed to the point where they can't walk. Not a healthy eating habit. Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much for this I think I may finally be able to get my dream body thanks to you. I’ve always hated my body and wanted to be skinny. I am not fat but somewhere in between. I appreciate you being honest as most skinny people would lie and say oh I eat everything and show 3 big meals on social media when they probably don’t even finish those meals and that’s why they are skinny. It’s all about what you eat.

This is so helpful. I’ve dealt with anorexia and binge eating disorders in the past and I’ve never had that sense of balance. You definitely highlight hunger and not eating when you’re not hungry and eating when the hunger subsides.

*IF YOU'RE A TEEN KEEP EATING, YOU'RE STILL GROWING*

my habbits that keep me skinny without thinking about it: having enough sleep, commuting by bike and on foot everywhere, not overeating, but mindful eating and enjoying my food, seldomly snack between meals (helps to keep my teeth healthy aswell; what I mean is that when I'm hungry I eat a meal and don't merely snack a little), I generally eat whole foods. I mostly eat 2 meals a day (true meals, not a skimpy 300-400 calories, but the 800-1000 I really need to get to my needed daily amount of energy... but I don't calorie count them, I generally just know or rather my body lets me know, when I've eaten not enough, I'll get hungry faster or I'll get cravings for more calorie dense foods the next meal) and seldomly eat after 4 o'clock, it depends on if I get hungry again, It's not set in stone. And at late night social events with eating, I just eat with them, and my body automatically seems to adjust for it the days after, as I notice I'm full faster then normally. Full for me indeed means, just enough, it's like the 80% rule from japan; I don't mean untill my stomach feels full, but untill my hunger and true appetite has gone. If there is still a craving I just reserve that for the next time I'm hungry so I already have something to look forward to. There are more habbits and little things that build up, but those are the most important I think. This all sounds very calculated, but it's actually unconscious, I wasn't conscious of them before I first started to pay attention to them and that only was when some bad habbits had crept in due to stress. The only conscious thing I do about my eating habbits, is reguraly (once in a month or 2 months) assessing my habbits or changes that crept in. (identifying them and thinking about if they are a bad or a good change and how they've happened) Sometimes (definitely during stressfull periods) less healthy habbits can creep in. And it's easier to change them back when they haven't been there for too long. (eating something as chocolate or having a sweetened milk tea isn't bad, but when I notice these kinds of 'nutritionally quite empty foods' becomming more common or rather a habbit instead of something extra now and then, I might have to consciencely cut them back again) I do this choice for my health, not to stay skinny. Being skinny is just something that happens besides being more healthy. And I mean general health, my body, mind, feelings,... Food and your relationship with food is a very important part for your whole wellbeing. So focus on health and not on the scale ;) . And take it one habbit at a time. (I vote for sleep being the first if that's not ok yet, it can be life changing to have a good nights rest every night)

This is such a great video. I did these things when I was younger, I was always the chubbier one, I looked at how my skinny cousin ate, how she behaved with food and it was all these things you mentioned. I started sharing my food instead of being greedy, small portions, not finishing food and all of it actually worked and I got to a more normal size. I have to incorporate this again.

this is probably the best tips i’ve ever heard and i’ve watched several videos in my lifetime. straight to the point no bs

Interesting , I skipped meals a lot as a teenager .Now even in my 40's it feels like eating is a chore , also add in food allergies, and medical restrictions its a wonder my hubby thinks I don't eat enough but it is really hard to over eat .

they eat to live not live to eat, food to them is just another chore that needs to be done with

I’m so lucky to have such a straight talking, honest friend ♥️

The worst thing is when i eat with my family and not only do they point out that im eating less (to the point where im satisfied) but especially my mom makes me finish everything. It makes me feel guilty.

Just some words: “you’re a diet life saver”. Thank you so much for your wisdom and advices. I’m reflected in them totally!. Hugs and blessings from Tampico, México 🇲🇽

I haven't spent much time thinking about why I'm thin but every point youv made is on point with my eating habits and food relationship. I only eat when I am hungry even if that happens to be a day or two after the last time I've eaten. The idea of eating food when I'm not hungry makes my stomach roll, bleghhh.

Great video! Thanks! I watched once a video (Why Are Thin People Not Fat?) on this topic. There was that experiment when 10 people who are naturally skinny had to eat I think 3000 callories a day. Yes, they did gain weight, but not all of them. Also they reported how they felt when they were eating more than their body actually needed. They felt sick, like they were about to through up. People who tend to be overweight don't feel this way when they fee full. "Another cake? Great!" LOL. The bottom line this is not just about habits, there is more to it. However, genetic predisposition is not something we can change, and that's when your video comes in very useful. We do what we can, i.e. we try to change our habits. Just have to keep in mind that the habits skinny people have are sort of supported by their genetic makeup. We can do it as well, yes, but not as naturally easy as skinny people, and this is not our fault.

Your advise has really been helping me on my fitness journey. Thank you so much for making things easy to understand and absorb.

it's true! i've been fat my whole life but 2 years ago i decided to change my life style and to this day i'm still skinny and dont struggle at all i eat anything i want whenever i want and maintain my weight! it feels so nice to be this way ALSO, pro tip, drink tea half an hour after eating

Súper important stuff people need to hear. It’s all about staying healthy!

Breakfast was "invented" as the most important meal of the day by people who woke up at the crack of dawn to then go and do physical labour all day, for which they needed energy. The way in which marketing companies use that is a different story. For each individual, a different meal will be the most important one.

Really great tips! Especially about socializing while eating. This is how it's done in other parts of the world such as Europe.

This is a really great video, Anna! keep up the great work

I am so happy i found you because you made so much sense. I subscribed to your channel so I can always listen to you when i need your help. Thank you so much! ❤

I am skinny and not talkative. But my mind is always active to the point that I eat while doing other things. I love foods but I am not greedy of it because I know I can eat it whenever or another time.

Hello!! I just watch this video. This was very helpful and I have learned something today so thank you very much. My parents have always told me to eat three times a day. But now realize that eating two I don’t feel starving! 😃

you’re so stunning!!! and also thanks for the advice

I did gain weight during quarantine but I have always ate small portions and when I get fast food I will order from the kids menu because that is a realistic option. A regular fast food meal should be cut in half. I have 4 babies gained 50 with each pregnancy and went back to pre baby weight by literally just not eating as much and intermittent fasting.

I’m dieting and exercising now and I love listening to your videos it’s very motivating haha

oh my god, you're just spitting out the facts haha

yas another weight loss video!! I‘m excited 🙈❤️

This is a great video! I’m a teen, so I can’t implement all of it, but it is so good to at least become aware of when I’m eating because I’m hungry and when I’m not.

This has helped me SO much

I love this video so,so,so much, this is all so true. I've observed all of this and I wish it came to me naturally too, I lose weight and gain it because I have such a greedy attitude with food! Thankyouuuuuuu for such a great vide. Also yes, I want to see your weightloss video!!!xxx

Thank you for this! All great reminders

Luved it..thank you so much for the tips!!

I rewatch this video often because it helps me stay motivated to stay at healthy weight.

Love this Anna xx I’m looking forward to the next video!!

Some very interesting observations - thank you for having the guts to speak honestly about the things you have noted.

Thank you I really liked this video! I am 20 years old and you make me feel like an older sister

I have to say this is so true, good research 👍

You put it in such a good way 💖 just subbed!

Great advice and true words here. Sounds like many people over eat because of food insecurity or comfort food.

I am skinny cuz I literally don't enjoy eating food.

I have a very skinny family and all your tips are spot on. Yes that's how they live.

Skinny girl here: 1) Nobody needs to eat an entire pizza in one sitting. 2) Do you really need a big bowl of dessert after that whole pizza? 3) Do you need to eat an entire bar of chocolate in one sitting? skinny people eat normally. Everyone else is a glutton.

Why is this so accurate

It’s so simple. It’s just math. You put less in your mouth you gain less weight. OR! Change what your putting in your mouth. Eat fresh, beautiful Whole Foods full of nutrition not salt, fat and sugar. Drink water not sugar drinks. Walk. 🤷🏼‍♀️🫶🏻

Thank you for your suggestions pretty girl!

That's is so true we eat when we are not hungry I really agree on this topic

Leah Arbuckle I know u said growing teenagers should not listen to this but...I’m still going to, i eat way to much. I still look really skinny because my arms are really small and i have a small face. I feel like if you have big arms and a big face, you tend to look bigger. I have a little bit of a gut though so I’ve been watching all of your weight videos and its been helping a lot. Also I’ve picked up hip hop dance (BTS dances) and it is so fun and it keeps you active because you are always jumping and moving so if you dont like to really exercise and stuff, you should try dance, its really fun. Thank you for your videos, you are so beautiful🙂

I know that this video is some years old but it still was super interesting for me. I developed an ed years ago so my relationship with food is really bad and disturbed. I'm currently learning to improve my eating behaviour and lose weight. I'm not really overweight, just not happy with my body + the ed really ruined a lot of stuff. Some of your tipps are what I try to learn right now. Like not being so greedy. It's so hard to say ' I will eat this, but I can wait until tomorrow' and I still don't get, why. I know all of these things but it is so easy to just... eat it. But I think I can learn and try more. So thanks for sharing, even if this video is more than 2 years old... :D

Wow this is really great advice thank you. You're awesome 🤗🤗

Thank you so much, your video is really helpful. I was looking for something to help me loss. I've been overweight all my life there are so many changes that I have to make.

How many people that eat alot are active? that's the question. Health is experimental. I noticed that when I ran and lift weights every day and still had cereal I was in shape but chubby in the face. I cut trans fat foods and used beef and fruits and it was significant. When I went raw vegan I went from 150 to 128. I'd say prioritize working out, and regularly eat clean. Although eating clean is good not just for weight control, but its good for gut health and immunity.

Your video is spot on! I want to add one more thing: naturally thin people do not stress eat, its usually the opposite: that our stomach gets tied up in knots and we cant eat. I grew up in the 1970's in an overweight household as well as extended family and always wondered why I didn't get fat too. I was subconsciously doing ALL of these things without realizing it. My family have all asked me how I stay thin and my mom always says it's because I don't like donuts lol when in reality i was doing these things.

Good tips with that, thanks for sharing miss pretty.

very insightful weight loss tips 🥰🥰🥰 def taking notes on them

Hi Anna, I enjoy your contents. Right on. I'm one of those constantly fit people of Korean descent. I like interacting with people at dinner table. And I don't like the feeling of being stuffed. As you mentioned, I don't have high level of appetite/graving. It's really weird to hear some people say they so want to have this and that for dinner... I also end up skipping meals when I'm immersed in something. I do like coffee and chocolate/candies. Lastly, I go on bulk up diet time to time and if I stuff up on protein drink regiment, etc., I do gain, but no easily.

Awesome advice!!

these videos are so therapeutic 🥰🥰

Just be yourself. There’s no need to mimic someone else,regardless of what you weigh. Love who you are and find healthy ways that you already do and just do the healthy things more.

Im going to try this, it’s actually useful.

thank you so much for this video

5:51 She's 26! If she said 16 I would have believed it!

I think nutrients in your meals are essential... if you Ensure your meals are nutrient dense and cover a wide range of nutrients... then you will most likely not get hungry so soon after a meal ... so less snacking etc. ... a trick may be to include a wide spectrum of colours in your meals ... and in addition the appropriate portions of the 3 main food categories Fats, Protein and Carbs ...

mornings are the best time to eat a big meal, your body has all day do digest and burn off the food

I feel you know what you’re talking about. I tend to eat slower than most people. One of my friends called me a squirrel “ bc I hate meals at scheduled times! FYI I don’t like breakfast though I’m older than 26, I’m also on plenty of medications,some cause dizziness. I also believe sure you can eat your fancy treat not everyday. I eat small meals often. Been vegetarian,yrs bc of anemia needed to get my red blood cells up…so included lean meat and salmon. As far as excercise,you need to find what works for you,me? Bit dance ballet bit,contemporary music dance ] Skinny people another people try and focus solely on the food! Off goes the internet or telly…Bc it’s distracting even let my phone go to voicemail. My appetite goes down when I’m upset You did a good video ❤ I’ve weighed within the same weight fit same clothes many years.😊 FYI all my family members are slim and tall. Ex mum who was petite still thin, but not tall.

It's so discouraging when people have to preface their videos with ED triggers... Like... 30% of Americans are obese and its like 80% are overweight.... We don't have a ED pandemic.. We have an overweight/obestiy pandemic.

A good one, we all need this in quarantine.... Thanks ya

You’re so pretty! These are great tips

This is true. I have been confused by the diet industry for so long. I eat healthily, exercise but am not conscious about portions lately I start watching my skinny, daughter's eating habits, she skips meals, eats less and exercises. Very helpful video thanks

Totally agree with you Anna. You look great now.🥰

Not dieting during teen years is good advice, something a lot of people around me wished they didn’t do so they’d grow more & healthily🤗

I’m glad you’re mentioning naturally thin ppl. Meaning ME. But it’s important to digest. I eat slowly or I’ll eat soup first

Pls share a hair care routine .Thx for this I'm a teen and this video helped a lot .

yesterday for the first time...I felt the sensation of satiety .. and these words came out of my mouth "im done", like my mind kept thinking about the yogurt as dessert, but my stomach was like "beetch die".

Thanks, lost 35 pounds in 2 months and it's actually the best feeling ( for me at least ) to wait to eat until my stomach growls and to stop eating when I'm not hungry, I know that sounds weird but my body actually knows now when I should stop eating without telling myself to 😅

As someone who has been skinny all my life this is very accurate. I have been around 185 since like 14 and im almost 30 now. What's crazy is that most of the points you mad ive been doing unconsciously. I had never really noticed until the last 2 years

Very insightful weight loss tips thankssss gurl 😍😍

I have an eating disorder but I’m here baby

A year ago, I completely changed my lifestyle, I began to count calories, eat small portions and prefer healthier food. I started doing fitness. I play basketball and football, these are very intense exercises. And you know what? During this year I have lost only 7 kilograms! I try not to panic, although sometimes tears come to my eyes, why is it so unfair, I put in so much effort and got such a small result.

i know you said dont watch if you struggle with eds, but i struggle with BED and i think these habits are very useful. i tend to eat mindlessly and turn to food when emotional or bored, and have a habit of crash dieting which fuels my binges. most of my skinny relatives hate to overeat and will stop whenever they feel the slightest full. reminding myself that food will always be there and i can buy it again if i "lose" it could really help curb what starts my binges

Great video and good advice 👍
