Everything I Eat in a Day: No More ‘Intuitive Eating’

——————————————————————————————
——————————————————————————————

Hey my friends! Today, I wanted to chill with you guys, have fun and make some food! I hope you enjoy the recipes if you give them a go! They’re all down below for you to try!!

Recipes:
———

I didn’t have frozen fruit so I just used fresh and it worked out well, just use a little bit less so that it doesn’t go too soggy!

———
Lunch: Frozen Gyoza with Edamame salad (serves 2)

24 frozen gyoza (I had prawn and vegetable ones)
320g peeled edamame beans
1/4 red cabbage (shredded)
6 small carrots (sliced or shredded)
1 spring onions (sliced)
100g quinoa (uncooked)
Dressing: 2tbsp Sesame oil, 2tbsp soy sauce, 2tbsp white vinegar (change any of the ratios to your taste)

Start cooking the quinoa according to the instructions on the pack (or you can buy pre-cooked quinoa to save the time). Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables and mix together in a bowl. Set aside and reheat the gyoza according to the packet (I pan fried for 4 minutes, then added 3 tbsp water and covered for 4 minutes until hot throughout). Once the quinoa is cooked, add it to the veg bowl and mix through the dressing. Serve together with the cooked gyoza and enjoy!

———
Snack: Strawberry Cottage Cheese (serves 2)

400g light cottage cheese
200g strawberries (sliced)
12g satchet powdered gelatin
Optional sweetener of choice (I used sugar but anything works!)
Handful pistachios (optional)

Mix the cottage cheese with the gelatine and strawberries and sweeten to taste. Add pistachios if you like or any other toppings and enjoy!!

————
Dinner: Chicken, mango salsa and coconut rice (serves 2)

3 chicken breasts (halved)
Chicken seasoning of choice (salt + paprika is always nice!)
1 mango (chopped)
2 limes
1/2 red pepper (finely chopped)
1/2 small red onion (finely chopped)
Handful coriander (finely chopped) - I swap used parsley instead because… coriander…
2 x 250g packets of cooked rice (I chose coconut flavour because the flavours work so well!)

Season the chicken breasts. Heat a lightly greased pan to medium heat and add the chicken, cover and leave for 10-15mins until the meat is cooked through. Meanwhile, chop the mango, red pepper, coriander and red onion and mix into a bowl, squeeze over the juice of 2 limes, season with salt and mix well. Reheat the rice as per the instructions on the packet, remove the chicken from the heat and serve with the mango salsa! Enjoy!!

"You achieve balance when you're comfortable in moments of inbalance."
Quote of the year🙌🤯

[emilywritess]

My heart turns gelatinous every time Natacha uploads

[beatereinhart]

Mario is literally the most supporting partner EVER.
I love how he says that it's fine and she is learning and that it is ok to eat. And he doesn't just say it he really means it. Bless him

[caitlynm]

i’ve been following natacha for over 4 years and she never ceases to make me feel so good about myself and food and working out. she’s exactly what i needed at that time in my life, she helped me not worry and prioritize enjoying food and everything else in our lives! 💕

[TheBlackVelveteen]

Mario’s “It’s ok, you’re learning” was the best little thing. Such a lovely reframe when trying new/different things!

[MaddieMagdalene]

"You achieve balance when you’re comfortable in moments of imbalance. Not when you’ve perfectly calculated your definition of balance and applied it to every single day." Girl, you are forever improving my life. Thank you x

Could you do a science explained about muscle recovery and the best ways to recover from a hard workout, especially when you have 4-5 workouts a week 🧡

[Becksbradley]

As someone who works with eating disorders as an intern therapist, I find your views within the fitness realm to be so refreshing and empowering for individuals who struggle with EDs. Thank you so much for having such a healthy and science-informed perspective on food and fitness. Thank you for sharing that with your followers! You make the world a better place Natacha!

[vassilikimaalouf]

honestly a relationship like yours and Mario’s is all i want in life - it’s so beautiful i’m so so happy for you guys❤ 🧿

[HockeyStars]

Every time I start getting icky in my head about my eating or workouts, Natacha brings me back to center and reminds me how bodies really work. Her content is so so so refreshing i love her!

[samandchase]

Natacha is EASILY my favorite youtuber out there. Love her content. Love her attitude. Love her personality. Love it all! As a studying RD2BE I really appreciate her outlook on nutrition and language usage, 10/10 always recommend!

[isabellepersson]

HONESTLY- yours and Marios relationship is such a beautiful harmony of love, laughter, understanding and everything a beautiful relationship and beautiful love includes. You guys are my life goal because the both of you radiates so much life and happiness (although I of course know you go through tough times♥️). You guys are the best and I appreciate YOU and everything you’re doing so much♥️♥️♥️

[TanishaMac]

Watching this while I do my meal prep for the week☺️ one of the big reasons why I've always loved Natashas "what I eat in a day" videos is she demonstrates so well how you don't have to stick to the typical body building diet to achieve an amazingly strong physique!! I use to diet so strictly but with the knowledge provided to me by credible athletes like Natacha and Stephanie Buttermore I am now able to intuitively eat without stressing about macros and still feel strong and love my body❤️

[elusivebutsatisfyingt.]

The way this woman is LITERALLY my favorite Person on this Planet 😩🤚🏻 The way she could talk about a piece of paper for two hours and I'd be DELIGHTED to listen?!?! The way I had to save this video for some INSANE meal inspo (again???) I fcking love this woman and will inhale every form of content she puts out there

[TheKaitlynsCorner]

Your little sit down chat is exactly why you’re the best fitness/lifestyle youtuber out there. I’ve been watching you for years now and you always keep it real, even when it means adapting. You ACTUALLY want people to be happy with themselves, not just make money off of people’s self hatred with the promise of gaining self love (which we should all know is BS)💛💛

[Paigestellamars]

i’ve been following natacha for years and she always makes me feel so at peace with my fitness journey. i’ve truly learned how to be kinder to myself and prioritize my well-being over any kind of aesthetic goals. my heart skips a beat whenever i get notifications that she’s posted!

[Moon_Puff]

Joyful, refreshing, and wholesome as always! Marios comment about functional tricep pushups while mashing made me think a fun video would be naming all the relevant functional exercises as you go about your day

[lifeisdynamite]

I swear that my heart skips a beat every time you post a new video. I watched almost all of them and you helped my to  learn how to love myself and to enjoy my life so I don't have enough words to THANK YOU. You are such an amazing and special soul and I'm so happy I discovered you. Keep inspiring people like you inspired me, smile and enjoy every single moment because life is amazing. Hope you are having a beautiful day so far. Sending you lots of love, Eliza xxx

[pollyking]

I am grateful that I found your channel. I'm from a generation of women who don't love our bodies and have a crap relationship with food. So I've been binging your content because this is what I have needed to hear for so many years of my life, instead of what I grew up with which was unhealthy emotionally and physically. I'm thankful that the young men and women discovering you have such a positive role model. I wanted to thank you for this video, in which you said you were going to stop referring to your eating habits as "intuitive" or anything else. I applaud that, because any terms like this that influencers use send many people on a wild chase for the "magical intuitive eating plan that will make me look just like Natacha." They / we / I just need to love and accept ourselves and each other, then: eat, move, work, and play. Which is what we see you doing so well. Thank you again.

I love “word of the day”! I remember you once mentioned the word “viscosity” when talking about yogurt (or smth) and yesterday in physics my teacher asked what viscosity meant, ive never felt so smart. I was the only one who knew the word.
