Love that!

Well stated! 🏆

Father Stu!!

Bruce Lee quote lol

Love that

My problem is, I don't want to eat meat yet my body feels so much better when I do. I went on the Atkins diet for one week--it was life changing. All my allergies went away and my brain was as sharp as a tack. I can't sustain eating that way, though.

Yes!! Try it out!

Great job getting those steps in!

Enjoy!

I would start with PFF- protein fat and fiber meals. I love her videos about cooking meals and grocery haul. Her coconut milk vanilla protein smoothie top with cacao nibs, roasted coconut flakes and berry mix is to die for. Super delicious! You stay satiated until next meal.

Yes! Please do a video on T 2 diabetes. Husband was just diagnosed. I have him following this way of eating along with me but need to know if there are any further differences/restrictions. Thank you. 💜

Congratulations 🎉 Keep up the great work!!

Awesome!! Congrats!

Have an amazing weekend, my friend!

Awesome, congrats Kellie!! Regarding skin, I might do a full length video on this in the future, so stay tuned :) And I'm feeling great! Nursery is almost finished, just need some final touches (and a free weekend to do it!😂)

I’d say it depends on how much u have hanging. I too have it but I’m thinking surgery only option, at least for my stomach area. I just watched a video the other day for loose skin under yr arms, n they suggested micro needling w/that roller thing. Gonna start today. 🤞🏼

You mean moussaka?

What is a twilight bulb?

@@shefindhappysw2147 I replied to you but looks like my comment got deleted. I guess you'll have to look it up since I'm not allowed to tell you or offer a website to explain it.

Hot in LA too

It depends on the flavor! I have a blog post with the details here: www.autumnellenutrition.com/post/does-lmnt-break-a-fast-intermittent-fasting-tips#:~:text=The%20unflavored%20LMNT%20only%20contains,will%20not%20break%20a%20fast.

Vegans too, they think that they get all their protein needs from nuts and plant based products

Most vegetarians I know are opposites. They came to me for advice. I introduced them to IF and Autumn’s channel. Vegetarians or non-vegetarians are the same - must have everything in moderation and balanced diet and being active are keys to health lifestyle.

So happy to hear that my tips have helped you through pregnancy! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! I'm currently rounding the corner with week 34... almost there!! :)

Are you getting enough calories to support your metabolism? I was eating too little once and ended up slowing down my metabolism. Now, I try to eat about 1600 calories a day and walk enough to burn at least 2100 (measured by my Fitbit). Good luck!

That also sounds amazing!

Try using cucumber in read of the apple; it’s what I have been doing for years. I don’t think you can use vegetable juice during an intermittent fast though, regardless of your fasting goals.

Pretty sure she has a whole video about why juicing is bad

Sounds like you will be better having more smaller meals throughout the day everyone's different I like having a light breakfast or no breakfast and having more snacks

I don’t even know if I can call myself active I don’t get to go on a long walk or jog or anything and go to the gym like most people here I can only walk around my house and help my parents with stuff

Are there any side effects. Some things are too good to be true.

Use a small amount until your body adjusts. I never use more than 1 1/2 tablespoons each day.

@@jangreig6206that’s what I was thinking but I just kept having to put less and less till it kinda went to like, I pinch of chia seeds or flax seeds 😅

They make an unflavored that only has salt, magnesium, and potassium if you dont want to worry.

The unflavored one is like drinking water with salt 😣 the flavored versions are the best. I have LMNT in my pantry and usually only take a half a pack a day during a workout.

I'm not concerned about natural flavors, especially in very small amounts. But I definitely stay clear or artificial flavors (which actually are derived from a chemical and not a natural source)

I would pack stew or smoothie in thermos. Or any kind of wrap - burrito or soft taco. Autumn has a ton of videos for delicious food. Try them, make some adjustments depending what you prefer.

@@mamokamika4212 never thought about a thermos. Thank you!

Hi, hard boiled eggs.

Hi! I have a blog post with some easy hiking lunch ideas that you can check out here: www.autumnellenutrition.com/post/5-easy-hiking-lunch-ideas-while-intermittent-fasting

Chili pad.

Yes!!! I slept like a baby my entire life until I hit perimenopause. I am really struggling with getting quality sleep.

@@aliciaw.6754 it sucks doesn’t it? Or if you’re like me, I go to sleep straight away but like clockwork 2 1/2 hours later I’m wide awake & that’s often it for sleep except of course when my alarm goes off at 6.15am. Then I want to sleep 😩

This is your adrenal glands! I am just entering this phase also. Research how to support & heal your adrenal glands. Also, I haven’t read it yet but The Wisdom of Menopause is supposed to be an awesome book with great info.

It worked for me when I was working out with a trainer, but I would be hungry right before my next scheduled feeding. Definitely annoying to be tied to a frequent eating schedule! I think it worked because we closely watched my macros and I was lifting heavy, but I’ve never followed that style of eating when I wasn’t working out with a trainer. I had the same question for a meathead who tried telling me to go back to that way of eating and all I got from him was a blank stare.

High cholesterol isn’t the concern that doctors once thought it to be. Look for content from Dr. Boz or Dr. Fung.

Next, she trys to sell LMNT. DO NOT BUY LMNT. Do supplement electrolytes but not by using LMNT. LMNT is a scam but they pay high commissions to influencers. The quantities of the electrolytes matter and the quantities of the ingredients in LMNT are way off favoring cheap salt. If you take enough of LMNT to get your potassium and magnesium, you get way too much salt. That is probably why on LMNT's website they post salt studies. They hope you read them and then overpay for salt. The potassium is a very low dose for what you need. You can buy potassium in your grocery store in the spice isle. It is sold as a salt substitute in brands like "Nu Salt" and "No Salt." See what your store sells and read the ingredients list. It should say potassium. Now you have your salt and potassium, now you need your magnesium. Now you need to buy a real supplement. Should you get LMNT for magnesium? NO. There are many types of magnesium. You need to get a good one and one that is right for you. Some types are wrong for everyone, and no type is right for everyone. You need the proper amount. LMNT is NOT the proper amount. You need to take it at the right time. In the next segment she tells you take magnesium before bed (great tip) but she just told you to take it with your exercise. Some magnesium causes drowsiness in some people. Some acts like a laxative. You need to find one that works best for you, and you need to time your dose when it works best for you which might not be when you need your salt and potassium. Taking salt and potassium while you work out is a great idea, but you may want to wait till you're home or about to sleep to take magnesium. She then holds up a blue magnesium bottle. It is from Life Extension; I recognize it because I take it. They have more than one type, but they are mostly known for their "L-Threonate." It is great stuff that passes the blood brain barrier. She obviously knows this because she has it, but she is not selling it because the referral link on Amazon doesn't pay much. You take a couple of these before bed and you will remember all your dreams on day one. LMNT has magnesium glycinate but probably not because most magnesium glycinate is fake. Magnesium glycinate needs to be chelated which means chemically bonded. To save money some companies just mix magnesium oxide (5% absorption) with glycine rather than get magnesium bonded to glycine. For example, a well-known bulk supplement company Bulk Supplements sells cheap "magnesium glycine" powder but has a ridiculous dose of (the label actually says) "about 4-5 tablespoons". (The max RDA for men is 420 mg.) Why take so much? It is packed with glycine powder to help you absorb the cheap magnesium oxide that is not mentioned on the label. Independent testing was done and most Amazon supplements are not chelated. What they are doing is buying this bulk cheap stuff and reselling it. In addition to being a bad form of magnesium, they get the dose wrong since most of it is just glycine. There is a trivial amount a terrible quality magnesium buried in it. The dose of magnesium in LMNT is already too small and if they are using something like this, it is a joke. Based on how they market and price their stuff, I assume they are cheap, but there are no linked studies on their product. Don't buy magnesium glycinate without an independent testing lab verifying it is chelated. The NOW brand is chelated, and you can find others. It is a good magnesium but there are other kinds good too. You should research and try one that seems right for you. If LMNT doesn't link a review of their magnesium, you should not buy it. Even if they did, you still want a personalized kind in the correct dose that you can take at a separate time. #4 "Get 8 Hours Sleep" This is very important especially if you are getting under 6 hours. Seven is probably fine. However, if you are disciplined with your diet and exercise, you will overcome some but not all of the disadvantages of less sleep. Don't feel it is hopeless if your sleep is off, but still work on it. If you wake too soon, try going back to bed or getting a nap. Be vigilant with diet and exercise if you have a night of short sleep. Maybe do a little more exercise later in the day so you are tired. Possibly a physical chore like cleaning or organizing. But not immediately before bed. Losing a ton of weight is a marathon and things do not have to be perfect the entire way, but you should work on small improvements till things are eventually much better. #5 "Remove high glycemic foods" Yeah, this is good, but not for the reason she says. Keto diets (including carnivore) are best for weight loss. New studies show this. They are not the best for long term health or longevity based on studies (Mediterranean) but they are best to lose fat fast. Now every armchair "bro-scientist" thinks it is because they spike insulin. But the real scientists don't think so. Protein spikes insulin. Not as much as sugar. Well...if you take Whey Protein Isolate it will spike insulin very fast and very high and you can still lose weight. Keto diets work for some other reason TBD. If you go to the Physionic KZfaq channel a real scientist will have a great explanation as to why the "insulin myth" is false. However I agree that removing high glycemic foods along with other carbs is a great idea, but I am not afraid to "spike my insulin" with protein. I just remain fat adapted, so my body easily uses my fat while I fast. By the way, eating every other day is a great way to bust through any weight loss plateau and it is much easier if you are ketogenic and fat adapted. It would be very difficult to start this way, but build up your fasts as you go keto. You don't need to start this way as almost any diet works when you are new. #6 "Meet your protein needs" Great tip. At first you can lose weight without this, however, for health and long-term success this is important. The more we study, the more important muscle is especially when you are too old to grow more. You need to maintain as much as possible to survive disease and injury in your later years. If you are losing tons of weight, you will lose muscle too. You need to minimize this with resistance training and lots of quality protein. Animal sources are the best. Yes, you can finagle a complete protein by mixing a couple plants, but to get when you need you will eat too much of those plants and the negative qualities they have. Best way is lean meats, add healthy fats, and then target whatever you're missing. To get fat adapted, go keto with high fat first, then cut the fat to cut calories. Keep or increase the protein. Your body will adapt to using the dietary fat when the carbs are missing and then switch to your body fat. Tip #1 should be stop eating processed foods and at restaurants. It is really hard to overeat whole foods. If you need help for overeating whole foods, use less variety in a meal. If you eat just one or two kinds per meal, it is super-duper hard to overeat it. This is not necessary for everyone, but you should know this in case you need it. If nothing else works, just eat fatty beef (ribeye, ground beef, etc.) as much as you want for one meal every other day. Guaranteed weight loss, but it will take a bit before you can do it. If you lose excessive weight, you will offset the negatives of the saturated fat, but you must adjust that portion of your diet as you reach your target weight. Do not do this if you are already in bad cardiovascular health. Good luck to everyone trying to lose a lot of weight.

I guess it just depends on what your goals are

I’ve heard the opposite about studies. My brother’s a doctor and he also said meat eaters live longer. That is if you’re eating balanced healthy meals. (No deep fried, oxidized oils, etc.) There’s so many nutrients like amino acids that vegans are woefully low on. And low poorer quality of protein lead to my Aunt’s osteoarthritis. She’s a strict vegan.

Longevity studies are notoriously fickle. It's always epidemiological based, which is the poorest form of research.

@@kelli101278he study referenced at 09:30 on protein intake for vegetarians/vegans and omnivores can be accessed using the link, unusually you can access the full paper by then clicking a further link. It’s not really a study that definitively proves vegetarians have less muscle mass, and it doesn’t directly examine the quality of the muscle. The authors found a direct correlation between animal protein intake and muscle mass, which they didn’t find for either vegetable protein intake, or total protein intake. The authors then speculate on the possible reasons. They admit their study size is small (only 39 people), and that they couldn’t use a direct measurement of muscle mass (too expensive), so this was estimated by measuring creatinine levels and using a formula, a formula that was developed using a population from a different location and culture. They also admit their method of assessing exercise levels for those in the group was invalidated. Even with these limitations they still believed the result was significant. This type of study is useful as it raises questions, so can be used to justify funding on a number of bigger more expensive studies…but shouldn’t on its own, be used to make definitive statements on the impact of a vegetarian/ vegan diet on muscle quantity and quality. If you want a fully informed account on protein requirements, the difference between animal and vegetable protein sources, and the real meaning of the term ‘quality protein’, then I suggest this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erOnmcJq3Ne7iWQ.html from 32:21 onwards.
