The best thing about dieting is you can make great tasting food and it doesn't have to break the bank. I'm down to 438 from 508 pounds, still have a long way to go but I feel much better each day.

Edit: At 399 Lbs now and going strong! 💪

Re: Stop and chew… I was once told “don’t feed your food” meaning if there’s still food in your mouth don’t load the next forkful to rush and add more. This really stuck with me and I’ve noticed numerous times when I need to repeat the mantra to help me slow down.

Back when I ate chips and packaged snacks more frequently, I actually opened the bag as soon as I got it home and divided it into single serving baggies and put the baggies back in the big bag. That really helped with portion control

"Weight loss is not something that you can directly control but your habits are" 💯💯💯, will be reusing this sentence on a loop

Fruit! I had an aha moment recently and realized that I wasn't eating fruit. I realized that I internalized some of the messages that fruit are too high carb and not good for you. I was actually watching Dr. Mike take Dr. Gundry to task for his villainizing of fruit when i realized what i had been unconsciously doing. When you consider how many servings of fruits and vegetables we are supposed to have in a day, how could you realistically do that with only vegetables? I'm not in the mood for broccoli at breakfast even though i love broccoli. So intentionally buying snacky fruit like oranges and apples has been a game changer for me for getting more servings of fruits and veg.

i meal plan 2 weeks in advance, less to think about ! Once a month I fill the freezer with home cook meals and each sunday I prep 3-4 meals. We use the frozen ones to complete. Thursday is always left over, if we dont have any, eggs and toast! This way, even when i'm really tired or starving, I know something good is waiting for me. Reduce the temptation to grap junk on my way home !

This type of eating style, no fat, high carb plant based diet, STARTED my eating disorder. I became malnourished, lost hair, very low ferritin levels, and suffered depression. I'm glad I turned it around. Abby helped me out so much. ❤

I already do that white bean tip! For anyone who doesn’t like beans: you wouldn’t know they’re there. Make a super flavourful soup (I did roasted butternut squash with lots of onion and garlic) and let the beans simmer in the broth to soften nicely with the veggies before blending. So good.

Where I live mushrooms are very expensive, but I stretch my ground meat with shredded carrots! I shred them in the food processor so the carrots bits are very similar to the meat bits, and are basically unnoticeable in the sauce

One thing that has really worked for me is to make the same salad always. I'm not a salad person and before this I would struggle to add fresh greens to my meals, so know I just do fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, lime juice and salt, it's literally the simplest base but that way I can add stuff along that I have on hand (avocado, crisp quinoa, cucumber, etc) and I don't have to figure out a whole different salad. It's somewhat automatic now and that means that a third of my meal will be greens.

[Winterliebende]

Getting a hobby you like doing is super helpful. For me (at home) it's drawing watercolor, making bracelets or making my own (brirthday) cards for my friends etc

[kaybee]

I can't do a ton of mushrooms, but I do like stretching ground beef with lentils!

[sohinidutta]

regarding the buying shelled nuts thing: it doesn’t work for everyone. Both me and my mum over eat shelled nuts because the deshelling process is so satisfying, kinda like how people find it hard to stop crocheting and knitting. it’s almost therapeutic. so yeah know yourself ig 😬

I hired a dietician (that you apparnently know LOL Chelsea Cross) and some of these tips are what she suggested as the starting point. I was shocked she was giving me lifestyle suggestions (basically stop hanging out in a bedroom a ton AND snacking in there) and i've been doing it and now I'm basically spring cleaning my house unexpectedly which I didn't even plan, but not being in my room I'm finding things to do that have kept me busier (and more active!)

Hi Abbey, I just wanted to say a quick thank you. :) You helped me tremendously in healing my relationship with food. Ever since Ive started watching your content, I can't even imagine leaving piles of fresh veggies off most of my plates, and keeping tons of fresh fruit in the house. At the same time, I never feel guilty about regular bread for carbs or dessert or the occasional junk food. Thank you! :)

My best behavioral tactics are:

1. Buy a microwave steamer (I have a collapsible silicone one) and make TONS of steamed veg that are easy to slip into any meal. Right now, I'm hooked on steamed Taiwanese cabbage which is great to sub in alongside rice with Asian dishes, but I also just like eating with some kimchi!

2. Buy salad kits if you can't keep up with buying all the components. Easy to switch up flavors, have a side salad every meal, and also easy to throw in rotisserie chicken for a complete meal.

3. Put all snacks (like industrial cookies/chips snacks) into a box. I noticed that once they were in a box, even if easy accessible, I no longer got the visual cue to eat them just from passing by.

[zenleeparadise]

Wow, this is the best diet advice I've ever heard. You make it sound so simple.

I'm middle eastern & seeing hummus and zaatar in this video makes me happy. <3 love this video!

I’ve maintained my 60 pound down mark for a few months now ☺️ I gained a lot of weight in very short periods of time as a teenager from being on certain medications. Shitty mental health, emotional abuse, and disordered eating habits being pushed from family made the weight gain even worse despite my desperate efforts.

Moving out of my family’s house and getting properly diagnosed and medicated for ADHD is really what made the difference. The last year or two of college I completely gave up on weight loss. I gained even more at for a while, but then I started focusing on other things that actually made a difference. Treating my mental health and having a more holistic focus made the weight loss an almost unintended consequence.
