Mexicans traditionally cook with lard, but more health-conscious Mexican-Americans have been told to stay away saturated fats and have been consuming more highly processed canola oil.

An unhealthy habit that got passed down from my parents? Stress Eating They were fighting often, my mom was always super nervous, the only time everyone was quiet was when eating. Well suprise i tend to look for food whenever i am negativly emotionally overwhelmed, and its super hard to ignore that hunger :( Actually i kinda can't come up with anything positive related to food, i got passed down through culture (I mean, well, german food culture is a sad thing, thats true) or my family ._.

I'm from an ex coal mining family in Northern England. My grandparents grew up without sufficient food, and both they and my parents worked low paying, manual jobs from 15yrs old, requiring a lot of energy. Our traditional food used to be stews, roast dinners and pies, served with vegetables and potatoes. Large portions were needed to get through the working day. It also gave my family a sense of security, that they were taking care of their family well. The physical way of working has stopped, but the large portions have stayed, and our food has diversified. Often the new foods are made in an inauthentic and cheap way, and are not as healthy as our traditional foods. Foods like processed pizzas, cheesy pasta and oily curries served with naan breads. Also, being brought up to ignore hunger signals to 'finish your meal!' is a bad thing. Gatherings with family and friends often involve being served large plates of rich food, and I never leave any of it. My diet is healthier now I'm an adult living alone, but when I visit family I always gain weight! And I have a large family!

Same!

Oh, to illustrate the importance of not leaving food, we have two sayings 'Waste not want not', and if the child really wants to leave something, adults will insist 'Eat your meat and leave your veg'. It's like a feeding clinic. Another unhealthy food habit linked to obesity: formula milk for babies.

Thanks for sharing!

That’s a bar!😏

Unfortunately India doesn't make these healthy countries list though 😑

@@pk3 maybe because of roti, sweets and oil/gee?

@@goldi1018 That and we may have cool sayings like op posted but we don’t follow!

No asian sauce is without sugar yet they dont care .

🙌🏻🙌🏻

I like to eat as many colors as I can in one meal so it has lots of nutrients!

@@lowwastehighmelanin Simple and effective :)

Yes. That's why you have to add human meat to your diet. The more variety the better. Sometimes if I'm feeling fancy I might have Cat or dog, maybe horse or a human fetus.

Do the Vietnamese way 6 days a week. American 1 day a month :)

That’s true! Vietnamese eat more veggies compared to Americans and some other Asian fellows. That’s why people are really fit or skinny. It’s hard to find a chubby Viet in America or Vietnam

@@MinhNguyen-ff6xf no, its still common to find chubby viets

@@Relco12 I rarely see any chubby Viet guys in both Vietnam and Viet kieu USA. Maybe 1 out of 10.

@@Relco12 but easier to find a chubby white American.

💯🙏🏻

...this was said by a very poor person who did not have enough to eat so they were doing everything to make their bite last...and using things to make full...

@@midnull6009 better than being a rich fat diabetic American

True! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

you're insane. dim sum is full of fried stuff

Yes, my husband is from HK and that is how we eat in our household... best and healthiesy diet!

@@ah2522 Not so many tbh, mostly steam foods, every here & there a 鹹水角 is ok la

Particularly that last one Most Asian people I know don’t eat fried foods much but other than that just eat plenty of veggies and lean meats like fish and chicken.

same im trying to recover

Sounds like wonderful lessons from awesome grandparents; thanks for sharing!

We believe you will. Sending good vibes your way 💖

🤣 the only thing is that this method stops working once you've gotten good at using chopsticks!

Thank you! 💖💖

@@xakarisa thank you

@@xakarisa i was thinking about this!! subhanallah

Ah you beat me to this comment! If only more of us followed the Sunnah!!

So happy to hear that. Thank you, and best wishes! 🙌🏻

"You don't like my food anymore."😂 Thanks and have an awesome day!

To be honest, we don't do that all the time either. The video is a reminder to ourselves just as much as it is for our viewers! Thank you and best of health 😊

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoy our videos! 😊

Thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed the video 💖

So glad you found it helpful! 🙌

Agreed! 💯

Thank you! This means a lot to us! 💕

Building habits (regular meal schedule, finding the right portion size, etc.) would probably be a good place to start. Hope you'll find something that works for you!

I have this problem, especially during a GERD flare up! I have alarms on my phone for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I don't have to eat at that time, but it's a reminder "hey if you haven't eaten yet, you need to soon!". Even if I don't WANT to eat, I have at minimum a snack. Of course I try to have a balanced snack with protein, fat, & carb but some days I still skip breakfast and am not hungry by lunch. At that point any food I can keep down is fair game because it's about calories, or my energy level will tank.

@@ThoughtworthyCoWow, that is a really helpful tip and I never thought about a meal schedule before. I will try this and I hope it helps me learn about my body more and develop a better relationship with my meals.

Thanks! 🙏

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! 💕

Thanks for the support as always!!

Glad you enjoyed it! 💖

Thank you! The curry is adapted from themeatmen.sg/curry-chicken/ , but I used store-bought curry paste. I don't have written recipes at the moment for the other dishes, but we might look into that for future videos or newsletters! 😊

Many thanks!

Yall count calories.. and eat vegetables..

Thank you, really appreciate that :)

@@ThoughtworthyCo It's really sound advice. I just dropped 70 pounds since last year because I changed my way of eating and exercise, and followed exactly what you said. It worked and I will eat like this the rest of my life. No one is more surprised than me that I was able to change and lose all of that weight. But it matters that you find something that works for you. I just knew the kind of eating, and movement that you talked about was perfect for me. And it worked! :) And I'll never be overweight again! :)

@@elainecampbell8083 incredibly happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing with us. Keep crushing it 💪💪

Indeed. All the best to you!

💯💯 Thanks for watching :)

Glad you enjoyed it! 😋

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you for that, cheers! 🙌🏻

Thanks! Yes, we loved the curry with yogurt that we tried in the past 💕 But we've never cooked it ourselves; maybe we will in the future 🙌🏻

Sounds delicious! 😋

Glad you liked it!

👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you and we'll keep your suggestion in mind! 😊 For now if you're interested in the curry recipe, it's adapted from themeatmen.sg/curry-chicken/ , but we used store-bought curry paste.

Love your unique, creative name! Low waste, high melanin.

Right!! Always expected to finish your food even if you're stuffed 😭

Thanks!

Yes I fried those garlic chips myself! You can check out www.abeautifulplate.com/how-to-make-garlic-chips/ for the instructions. The chicken curry recipe I used is adapted from themeatmen.sg/curry-chicken/ , but I used store-bought curry paste instead of making it from scratch! 😆

@@ThoughtworthyCo thanks so much!

Those are king oyster mushrooms! I just sautéed them in a pan with salt and black pepper. Hope this helps!

Very true 👍

I love rice but it hurts my stomach. Do you have any tips for that? Is a special way to make it or something I should add to it?

@@kristinlowther6260 Cauliflower rice may not be so harsh on your stomach. Potatoes are another great starch

It's from IKEA

It’s a Singapore style curry chicken! I adapted and tweaked the recipe from themeatmen.sg/curry-chicken/ :)

I used coconut milk in the end! If you're not comfortable with dairy or coconut milk, I did see a couple of curry recipes online using nut/oat milk. You can give them a try!

That would actually be awesome; we'd love to hear her thoughts too. Maybe we'll reach out and see if we can make that happen!

All the best and stay healthy!

We feel you. It's so hard to find solutions to a problem like that (and we're definitely not qualified to give advice over the internet). But if it were us we would probably start by tackling the root of the problem (what's making us stressed) before trying to fix the symptoms (the stress eating). Good luck and all the best!

Michael Pollan! Yes, that's a good one 🙌🏻
