Hope this is helpful!💓 What are some roadblocks on your health journeys?

[hannahdigitals]

if becoming active sounds intimidating to anyone, I really recommend long walks!
Finding a good podcast or music to listen to and going on a morning/evening walk is a really nice way to stay active

To any wondering: Pilates is a form of weight training. You do not need to go to the gym and lift weights. If you can’t afford the gym, I you have anxiety about going to the gym, know it is not the only form of exercise that will build muscle and increase your metabolism :)

The "puffy skinny" is exactly the same as my body type right now, you couldn't have described it better. This video is super helpful thank you so much.

I agree with "starving doesn't help with metabolism". I used to be super thin and last year I gained some weight. Thinking that I should lose weight, I ate barely and starved myself. I was always hungry and didn't have energy at all. Then suddenly I started to gain weight so quickly. Only then I understood that starving isn't a good option

This is so true, I worked at walmart and I lost so much weight from the heavy lifting and got close to abs, I literally lost 20 pounds in 3 months and my metabolism is completely fixed and it has never been like this in my life

I already know all this and still find myself going down the rabbit hole of starvation, especially on my lower self esteem days. Hearing it again every once in a while is such an important reminder, thank you. I will go eat something :)

[esme_melody]

im in the depths of anorexia hell right now, and your videos & conversations have been the only voice actually getting me to realistically think about recovery & my health…thank u zoe ❤

[areebah]

this actually makes so much sense to me now.. in primary school i used to be super active and i could eat more than i eat now normally without gaining weight. after i started secondary school, i had to focus so much more on my studies and i rarely properly exercised so i gain weight more easily than i used to. once my nationals end im gonna start working out more!

edit: finished exams and graduated yesterday. just started running, wish me luck :)
edit 2: okay so update I guess, I didn't really manage to stick to my plan because I got a job but that job required me to lift a lot so that actually helped my metabolism but I started school 2 months ago so.. but at my school now we have to run every thursday morning so that's good

As a nutrition student… girl… you said facts. Im glad to see that you explained this well, like you’ve actually did your research and shared it in a nice way. 👏🏼👏🏼

[branchieboy]

For those who love home workouts (or just hate the gym), you can do a LOT with a gym mat, resistance bands, and adjustable dumbbells!! You can achieve more than you think with just those 3 items👍

[brightestmoments]

As someone with a nutrition degree, that thinks the fitness industry has gone so awry and toxic with all the contradicting views, this video felt like a breath of freash air. Really good tips, give in a realistic approachable way that in the end is really focusing on healty body self care

I am struggling with an ED, currently i am working on having my 3 meals at day n my snacks between each meal also i am starting to workout, n this video really helped me a lot, i still eat with fear but i am better than yesterday n i will be a lot better tomorrow

An other advice to increase your metabolism : sleeping. Your body burns a lot of cals during your sleep. It’s important to have good sleep habits when you try to lose weight. Also it gives you energy and it’s good for your mental and physical health in general. Take care of you guys 💗

+ I forgot but it is also important if you want to build muscles because your muscles grow not during but after your training, notably during sleep

[maryjane]

i don’t think you understand how helpful this video is!! I’ve been struggling with my body and wondering why i’m not losing weight when i barely eat but you’ve really opened my eyes and helped me learn a lot!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️💕

[blackhoneybones]

i am almost crying beacuse all you said sums up perfectly the moral of my hard long battle.
starving might feel good but the healthy body that will carry you and your family is the biggest motivation to never let yourself down so much again, to keep going, to see more of the world.
when you really think about it, it's so easy to get back to shape and keep it up. it should be natural. just listen to your body and appreciate it

Your guide to metabolism. Hope this helps because it took me a really long time to do XD

*1. Metabolism Components*
• RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate)
o Simply living/doing nothing
o Accounts for 60-70% of total energy burned
• Activity Level
o Working out/going to the gym/playing sports
o Accounts for 15-30% of total energy burned
• Thermic Effect of Food
o Digestion
o Effected by what you eat
o Accounts for roughly 10% of total energy burned
• NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis)
o Spontaneous movements – pacing/fidgeting/using hands while talking
o Accounts for 5%+ of total energy burned
• BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate)
*2. Boosting Metabolism*
• Exercise
o Resting metabolic rate is dependent on your activity level
• Higher Muscle Mass
o Lean muscle mass determines 74-80% of BMR
*3. Food*
• Never EVER starve yourself
• Your diet is a whole painting
o A painting needs a little of everything
• Food types
o Fats raise your BMR 0-5%
o Carbs raise your BMR 5-10%
o Proteins raise your BMR 20-30%
 Proteins build muscle, and more muscle raises your RMR
o Fiber
 Takes more energy to digest
 More satiating because it absorbs more water in your GI (Gastrointestinal) tract
 Naturally comes with vitamins and phytochemicals from the plant source
*4. Final Tips*
• Exercise to become stronger, not to burn calories.
• Focus on being healthier overall, not just losing weight.
• Build muscle.
• Everyone started somewhere, even those gym bros.

I have watched a lot of fitness, metabolism, and “weight loss“ videos… And I have to say this one was probably my favorite, because you focused on living your life, not restricting yourself, and overall taking care of your body! And having a love for taking care of your body! Thank you ♥️

I wanted to share my personal story if this can help anyone.

I was always a fat child, pictures of me when I was younger my upper arms have always been thick, genetics, and I’ve always had a huge belly. To the point I couldn’t even see my toes when I about 9, my parents were very polarizing my mother tried to feed me healthy meals and my father would just hand me a bag of chips or a whole pack of grapes and I would eat the whole bags because I knew he wouldn’t feed me anything else. Since my mom is the only one that works she really relayed on my dad to make sure I was healthy, but he did the exact opposite. He was disabled at 25 because of diabetes.

When I was 14 I met my first bf he was 17, it was a very horrible relationship. He was very controlling and took advantage of me because my family was middle class he was lower class so he would take my money my parents gave me for emergency reasons and even would check my bag for money. During that time he would tell me to lose weight because “we would break up with me if I didn’t lose any weight”. That scared me to death because I really loved him and I wanted to be with for forever. So I wouldn’t eat anything for 6 days a week, only drink 1 bottle of water, and only ate when I saw him which was once a week, we went to different schools. When I did see him we would only eat a hoagie that we would split and split a bag of chips, and that cycle continued for 5 years.

I was at my lowest weight in my life which was 140, I felt excited but then again when I looked at pictures my arms were still thick, I still had belly fat, my skin looked so dull and sickly, my eyes even looked so sad which I was. When I was in Senior year, I met a guy that was mutual friends with almost all of my friends and really helped me snap out of it, we talked for a few months and became good friends, the one thing he said was “Are you happy?” And I said “yeah” and he said “No, are you really happy?” And I paused and started crying uncontrollably and was even mad like wanting to scream and hit things he just hugged me and even said “you can hit me if you need to”. I broke up with my ex literally just saying “I want to break up” and my ex smiled and said “Okay” and I hung up, he thought I was joking. I already cried enough for him, I already hurt my body enough for him, I put up with it for so long and I was finally done.

Me and my new friend started hanging out more and more. Eventually, he worked up the courage to tell me he liked me. We got together in 2019 and have been together since then. But 2020 hit and we dropped like everyone else, we gained an extraordinary amount of weight to the point. This is the highest I’ve ever been in my life, which is 240. I haven’t had any health problems and neither has he but we don’t want to start having health problems we’re both 21 now, even with our weight gain we are still incredibly happy our love has never changed. We both are going to start working out but our main things we don’t want to change our diet, we live a more Korean diet, rice, side dishes and meat for every meal is a must. I don’t think any Asians can give up white rice which a lot of people say “Cut out all carbs, have only lean meats with no fat, no sugary drinks” which yes those would ultimately help you lose weight but to never have noddles and rice or to only have it once a week is impossible for us, let alone his number 1 favorite meal is grilled pork belly with rice lol.

I’ve been following Zoe since he cut out all sugar for a whole year. I’m very happy she’s doing well health wise, but now we need to step up our game.

Thank you very much for making this video, it really helps people like us that are struggling. I completely destroyed my metabolism for 5 years and now it’s time for me to heal it and nurture it. Thank you for anyone that reads my story and you aren’t alone. ❤️❤️
