Thank you so much for having such a mentally healthy approach to eating and body and joy of life! It is so refreshing compared to other content on the internet, which is all about extreme regiments and dogmas. Thanks for being such a good role model😇greetings from germany

I must say you seem really nice, relatable and natural. It's refreshing.

During my first pregnancy I couldn't eat anything bread-like and I developed a lactose intolerance. During my second pregnancy I couldn’t even keep water down so anything that didn’t repulse me at the moment was what I nibbled or sipped. I only gained 18lbs the second time around and somehow still had an 8lb baby born (3 weeks early). Our bodies are capable of great things so I love the intuitive approach you’re sharing❤️

I typically don’t watch “What I Eat” videos because they can be judgmental (ie, food is good or bad), triggering (I have IBS—so I have to watch out for too much fiber—and recovery with an eating disorder), or painfully not yummy. I saw the soup on Instagram and thought, I solider through because I want to see that soup! (Which I will be making!) what this was, however, was a video of you delighting in food, delighting in your pregnancy, and EATING!!! I love that you mentioned intuitive eating too—the cure all for what ails us all around food. Dr. Ellis, you are the best! And I would let my young daughter watch this and not be afraid Diet Culture was going to wrap it’s tentacles around her heart. Thank you.

Just saw the soup is from The Modern Proper! They have the best recipes, and for this Celiac Girl, they are super easy to modify to gluten-free. I would not have survived cooking 3 meals and 2 snacks per day for almost 18 months without their inspiration and recipes. (Chef’s kiss!)

You are heartwarming to watch! 💞 I think I smiled through your entire video! I was pregnant many years ago and not as informed about nutrition as many are now! Towards the end of my pregnancy, all I wanted were BLT sandwiches with avocado 🥑 slices inside! 😆

[heathervanderhagen]

I love watching your videos! Such good information for everyone. When I was pregnant with my first child, which was a boy🤗 I also could not get enough fruit in my day. I consumed more fruit During that pregnancy then imaginable. I love how you are concentrating on the healthy options during your pregnancy. Good for you! I always look forward to your videos.

[coralakey]

Always so impressed by your work ethic! Full time doc, YouTube, and all your side teaching/ hustles! Such a rockstar!

[vaishnavitiwari]

It's so calming to watch your videos!!! Happy new year Dr. Ellis!

Who else is making that soup asap? 🙋🏻‍♀️ it’s so cold here in Canada and I think I’m just going to go right to it and double the recipe like she did. I really enjoy the “what I eat in a day” videos to get out of my food ruts. Your approach feels real and it’s much appreciated.

[juliamrtn]

Love your approach towards diet & nutrition! Plenty of healthy foods, but without restrictions or forcing yourself to eat things you don't like.

[laurellae]

I didn't have cravings during my pregnancy but had aversions like no other! Peanut butter was the main culprit in my aversions. I also struggled with hydration. I sometimes found adding a slice of lemon to my water helped. Also love your recommending Emily Oster's book! Her books are my favorite, really the only pregnancy book you need!

[lozamel]

Am from Ethiopia and coffee is a big thing in our country. When I say big i mean it. And pretty much all pregnant woman drinks coffee and nothing happens.

Making the lentil curry tonight!! Cannot wait. Also great tip on making large batches of chia pudding.

[atlkarenb]

Excellent approach to eating. Love that you’re not stressing about the calories and nutrient make up. Just eating “real food.” Oh, if you make chia pudding with white chia seeds it doesn’t look so gray 🤷‍♀️

[ahamccombs]

Oh my goodness that soup is SOOOO GOOD! Thanks for sharing and please share more!! Love your videos 🙂!

[NikkisNest]

Currently pregnant and loved curry & my toddler even ate it with rice. She said it was delicious! We did do the original recipe with the sweet potato and kale bc my store didn’t have chard. Also tried your green smoothie from another video and was great and my toddler approved

[christinemack]

I had an aversion to a lot of foods, mostly meats and seafood. I craved protein bars and Ensure, so random. Your meals are fantastic! Spinach has a good amount of protein if you can tolerate greens. You look amazing and hope you feel wonderful! Wishing you all the best!

[MyLoVeLyMaN]

What an amazing video. I eat very similarly. Love soups in winter, I'm into red lentils at the moment, while not enjoying the regular more meaty ones anymore. Love citrus too, I live in London but am constantly ordering lemons and oranges online from Sicily in Italy. Delicious snack with dark chocolate.I also love chia pudding when it's warm outside. In winter I prefer hot porridge but I'd add 2 spoons of chia every morning.

[stephanielynne]

You look great and I love your healthy, balanced mindset towards food. No one should be judgemental or critical of how others eat. We are all doing our best and you obviously are eating the foods that are right for your (and your baby's!) body. Loved this video btw - gave me some ideas with the chia pudding & buddha bowl. I looove buddha bowls. I eat mostly plant based too! 😊

[Joelina]

yay, i love these more personal insights into our favorite dermatologist´s life :-)
