Hey everyone! I'm moving away from tracking my foods so I couldn't really share the exact macro breakdown but I hope this helps! I incorporate refeeds, cheat days and spontaneous treats into my diet really often and straight after I always go back to eating exactly the same as normal to let my body settle. Lots of love! xxx
I really appreciate that you didn't restrict your calories or "punish" yourself after your cheat day! A lot of people go on crazy "cleanses" and "detoxes" after a day of indulging which is really unhealthy! Your mindset toward food is admirable 😊👏🙌💗
+Carbs Are Happiness thank you!! Cleansing never worked for me because it usually means having a super low calorie intake the next day and that just caused me to feel the need to overeat again a week later. I'm definitely happier with my mindset towards food and also life now (: xxxx
Okay. So you are the most relatable youtuber that i've come across. You cheat and you are proud of it. You enjoy it and that's so amazing. I love you so much. You promote health so beautifully - you enjoy your cheat meal and you bounce back. I love you so much for showing and supporting that😘❤
I just love the fact that you go back eating the way you eat without restricting after a cheat day and just how simple and healthy your relationship with food is in general :) love you 😘😘
You’ve helped me so much Natacha, you have no idea! Your background with ed and training is so similar to mine that I almost thought we were siblings. 😅 Trying hard everyday to get out the cycle of binge/ purge/ over and undereating and never have I ever met someone on youtube with a mindset like your. I could cry 😢 Thank u beautiful soul 💕 Lots of love from Finland
+Soff Bjorg aww that's really kind of you Soff! I don't think it works that way though lol and I'm so happy for everyone on this channel already! Maybe one day though! Xx
+Amy J hey sweetie! If you want to be able to do them, you can practice in front of a smith machine with the bar at belly button height. Keep one hand on the bar and use it for balance and for support on the way up, and over time you'll be able to loosen your grip on it 😊 I really hope I can organise what I have in mind soon! Hopefully in the meantime I can be part of an event where we can do a meet up more casually 🤗😘 xxx
Natacha Océane thanks so much for the pistol squat tip, I've been practising sitting slowly one legged onto a box for now but will try with the smith machine too. Can't wait to hear of any future meetups! Xx
+Amy J that's not a bad one either but if the box is a little high it will prevent a full range of motion which I've noticed happens often. Whichever you prefer girl but let me know! 😘😘 xxx
I am in LOVE with the way you exercise ❤️ I am in LOVE with the way you eat ❤️ I am in LOVE how you enjoy your cheatdays ❤️ I am in LOVE with your smile ❤️ I am in Love with your personality❤️ You inspired me a lot Kisses from The Netherlands
+Soraya _x that's so sweet thank you Soraya! This is so kind of you I really appreciate it ❤️❤️ Hope you had an amazing weekend and love back to the Netherlands! I love it there! Xx
I love that you're not afraid of "junkier" ingredients like oil, popcorn, or pasta, you can eat out even when not cheating, you genuinely enjoy the cheat, and the incredibly positive relationship with food that you've nurtured. It really inspires me to break free of some lingering eating disorder habits!
+MK hey! I am really glad you are setting out to develop that and I think it's such a good, happy thing to relax the rules around eating that way as it made me so much happier! Let me know if there's ever any way I can help and I hope you feel great about the progress you're making! Also my boyfriend has those initials and the thumbnail looks like his godson so I saw this and did a massive double take! 😂😘 xx
you are such a happy and kind person that it inspires me so much more than just in health and fitness (you do with that too!!). even if you made videos not about health and just about your day to day i would still love them! xxx love from Bristol!
its so inspiring that you don't feel guilty or punish yourself after a day like the previous video. I am getting there slowly and i have to say it does actually make me feel like a completely new person so i cant ever say thank you enough! ❤❤
I know you posted this a couple years ago, but I’ve just recently discovered you and so glad I did! I feel like I’ve wasted the last 20 years calorie restricting and then binging and trying all sorts of diets with the “promise” of fast results, but I was going about it all wrong. Thank you for making your content and sharing your journey and research findings with us! You are a refreshing voice and inspiration! I’ve now come back to weight-training and a healthy, balanced relationship with food. It feels good. Thank you! 🤗❤️💪🥗🍩
i actually think most fitness youtubers dont promote physical health (and definitely not mental) which is such a sad thought so i have always said that your videos stand out so much natasha :) you motivate me so much and i wish i could say thank you enough but i dont think its possible!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love your training videos and all of your recipes because they're so adaptable and so much easier to fit into my routine than anything else I've seen!! Such a big fan of yours Natacha and I love your channel more than anything else out there and adore your personality❤️❤️keep doing what your doing!
+Amira Ihardane aww thank you so much Amira! I really try to make it accessible and long term because I think that's the key!! That means a lot, lots of love xxx
Another video you should be proud of Natacha! Its so amazing that you show people that you eat really well and a lot and that you show everyone how they can do it too because so many youtubers show themselves eating like 1400 calories and its so sad for people to watch and get those ideas. You truly deserve to go so far girl!
Hey Claire! Thank you so much for the constant support and for being so sweet! I hope you're having an amazing day and that this video was fun to watch! xx
Hi Natacha! Never commented on a video before but I absolutely love how humble, sweet, and funny you are :) I love that you back up all your info with research articles and your recipes are all simple enough to do with whatever is in the kitchen. Thanks for being so awesome! Love from California :)
+blieveinangels08 hey lovely! I'm so glad you decided to leave a comment and to be so kind! I really appreciate you leaving one here! Please let me know if there's anything you'd ever like to see or if you have any questions 😂 lots of love! 😘😘 Xxx
Natacha Océane thanks so much for the reply! I enjoy any video you make but any tips on staying motivated when life is busy? I know you mentioned before that when you were in uni you'd take the pressure off workouts and focus on studying but I'm going to be on clinical rotations and working 6-7 days per week and I want to maintain the healthy changes I've made so far this year. It's just so difficult when I'll be so tired all the time but I don't want that to be an excuse.
+blieveinangels08 is that for med school? How long will it last? That's a tough one because I completely get that you will want to be focussed on doing well. Xx
Natacha Océane i'm in pharmacy school and graduate in May 2018 so about one year. That's why I want to keep the healthy habits going because I really only started eating cleaner since 2017 started and my exercise right now is walking in my neighborhood. I just started (last week, terrible, I know) doing 30 second sprints for 10 sets o_o
+blieveinangels08 that's not terrible, I'm sure you always had a lot going on and it's difficult to be super on top of everything at once 😊 I think given that it'll be for a year and you'll have not much energy to spare, my main tip would be keeping it fun and picking only the exercise style that gets you excited - that might take a little experimenting at first but it helped me to look forward to working out so much! Also, if you have a few lighter days where you walk, that's great! I have a few lighter days every week out of choice and it works so well for me 😊 hope that helps! 😘😘 xx
Great advice on how to think about cheat days. Mine used to be very structured on a time line but now I have one every 1-2 months depending on events in my life ....yesterday was a wedding we attended so I ate clean for my first 3 meals and then had a cheat meal with wedding cake. Back to normal eating today and training. Thanks again Natacha, you are wise! Oh the advice we could give our younger selves! Keep the videos coming, always enjoy seeing You! Much love from Phoenix, Lori❤
+Lori Wait haha it's true Lori, but the more I think about the more I think we needed to go through those points to be who are now (: glad you enjoyed some of that wedding cake! Weddings are always so much fun!! Lots of love and have a great week ahead xx
+Michelle Bellanova hey sweetie! 🙈 I'm so glad everyone liked them! Since they are meant to be so macro friendly I often expect people who aren't thinking about macros to not be so into them but that's amazing feedback 🤗😘 lots of love! 😘😘 xxx
Understandable! I'm always the one making healthy dishes or desserts for loved ones and I often don't mention how healthy or macro-friendly it is because I don't want them to think it's less tasty. Why do people think healthy means bland? They're usually always surprised something I make is healthy because it tastes so good! I hope people's perceptions of health foods changes someday soon.
+Michelle Bellanova I'm the same! I used to not tell them that it was any different and they'd like it! I'd tell them after wards and then after a while they became ok with it and didn't associate it with boring foods. I hope the same as you 🤗😘 xxx
Glad I found you. I have subbed for a while. With a full time job and other things on my plate, I already feel like being able to work out is such an achievement, but tracking macros is something I could never do. I also feel like obsessing over macros is a recipe for disaster for anyone recovered from an eating disorder, so I am glad that you have moved away from that to eating more intuitively. I enjoy all your videos and will definitely get your e book + will look out for more ❤️ #lovefromthailand 🇹🇭
hey lovely! I think you have found an amazing balance and it sounds like you are pushing yourself so you I hope you're really happy! I've heard the best things about thailand over the last few days so I may have to make a journey out sometime in the next year or so! Lots of love 😘 xxx
hi natacha - just wanted to drop a note to say i always watch all your videos just because i adore your personality and you have never not put me in a good mood! 😍😍
natacha i missed the last three weeks of your videos as i was on my holidays with my family and now i have so many to watch lol. this is my first one and next i will watch your cheat day!! x
So glad I found your channel! Such a breath of fresh air 😀 I have struggled with an eating disorder for years! I was lead to believe carbs are the devil and sugar should NEVER be touched! I would feel so guilty when I’d eaten either of those things 😔and totally beat myself up afterwards. I’ve started lifting heavier and mixing up my workouts, my body has transformed, still got some to go but you have definitely opened my eyes 👀 to a way more relaxed approach 😘😘😘
You were so right, when you told me i would like this video. Food + training + Natacha, in one video = me getting out running way later than i planned. I had a while where i tracked every calorie that i ate, AND ate way to little. Today i mostly only track my breakfast, and eat 80/20 with lots of awesome food. Wish you all the best! 😀
hey! I'm glad you did! and I'm sorry you delayed your run 😂 It sounds like you've found a great balance and the mix that works for you so I'm really happy for you! Lots of love! xxx
I have always been scared of the gym because of what people would think of me, but watching your videos have inspired me to workout and make it a lifestyle that i will enjoy. I will start my membership on monday and i am excited to get fit! Btw i am 15 if you were wondering ( hopefully you will see this!)
Hey sweetie! that is actually such a normal feeling so you totally should not feel like that makes you different in any way! It will feel weird the first 2-3 times but honestly once you've been in there for a few hours you'll realise nobody is really looking and everyone is worrying about their own workout, or getting home on time, or something else going on in their life (: It'll feel so comfortable pretty soon and you'll love it! Let me know if you have any questions or if i can help with any of it! 😘😘 xxx
+Valentina vivallo perez hey sweetie! I'm glad you liked the look of it! I was proud of my breakfast but then Mario's dinner was something else 😳 I'm going to have to practice making pasta I think... xxx
Hello Natacha.... I found about you a week and I have to admit that I really love tour videos... I really like and appreciate the way that you give us a tone of stunning advice on nutrition or working out and so on.... I love your character your personality and your are a wonderful person.... I want to thank you for giving inspiration to a 15-year old girl to start living a healthier lifestyle and start working out..... Thank you so much.... I love you 😚😗
+Antigone S hey lovely 🤗 that is really kind of you to say and it makes me so happy than there's some useful content on here! I get the feeling you are a wonderful person to be leaving a comment and being so sweet 😘 I hope it feels amazing and brings you so much happiness and self confidence 💪 😘😘 xx
+Natalie Wixon 😄 thanks Natalie, everyone is so kind and sweet that I don't really feel any need to cover anything up 😄 I guess it's that ms to everyone watching that I feel comfortable 😘 xx
+helen a hey girl! Thank you so much for the support and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It was a late Saturday night working on this one so it means a lot! 🤗😘 xxx
Girl, whenever I make muffins or cake, I eat the whole darn batch! Lol! It's an outlandish habit of mine but I don't have any shame in it! 😂 Who can stop at one? Kitchen staples and gadgets are also my favorite to shop for! Omg! And that pretzel....YUM! Bread, carbs, dough, all are life!
I bought the lunch ebook, not really intending to use it but I just wanted to support my girl. I love it actually. I’m going to buy the breakfast one too. It’s a steal if you think about it. Here in the states, recipe magazines go about $10-14 and I paid $5! ♥️♥️♥️
+lim li hey! I'm glad and I hope it helped take the thought off of school work for a little while! I used to go home and take time off colouring or go trampolining to get it all out of my head, and now people have TH-cam!
Ahh I love your videos so much! Your positivity about life and food makes me so happy and it's always so inspiring to me! Also those pistol squats were amazing wow :O haha!
+KamaraFitnessLife hey sweetie! Thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed this one! The pistol squats are just practice! My balance was the issue when I started but the smith machine helped with that 😊 xxx
Hi lovely x I've been watching your videos for a while now and I've never commented on anyone's video before but I just think you are so amazingly positive and nice and you really show it in your videos💗your like someone I would love to be friends with and i find myself beaming watching you. I'm so glad I found your videos as I love them so much x keep doing what your doing because your absolutely killing it💗💗
+jessica power hey Jessica! That's really sweet of you to say and I'm so glad you decided to leave your first comment here! 💁 you are too kind and I can tell we would be friends! 🤗 thanks for the love! Xxxx
Shoutout 😂 to the popcorn - sweet and salty is the one! You have just described me over the past couple of days. I binged at the weekend, then yesterday I restricted, I was doing great til my partner suggested pizza 🙄 and when it arrived I went absolutely ham!! In fairness, I wasn't too hungry but I knew I still had calories left but then one slice turned into like 6 🙈 So today I'm just going to eat my normal, thank you. I need your ebook, I'm going to purchase it right now! Xx
+Coco Amande aww thank you Coco. Yeah sweet and salt is the best as well as salted caramel (: And don't worry about the extra pizza slices, we all need some pizza (: you're right in going back to normal, and it's all great memories (: I hope you like the ebook! I'll be releasing the lunch one soon! Xxx lots of love x
+Coco Amande 😂 it's the best right?! What you're describing is totally normal and that's exactly one of the main reasons I do what I do 🤗hope you enjoyed the pizza at least! Xxx
Natacha Océane well I did enjoy it. I've got to the point now with the help of you, I've stopped feeling guilty because all the guilt in the world is not going to change what I've eaten. In fact it's probably more detrimental to feel guilty as the cycle will continue. I'm sick of spending too much time feeling guilty 😂 as you say, you now feel free. That's what I'm hoping will continue to happen 😁❤️
+Coco Amande yep that's exactly what I think! All the guilt just turns a happy experience and a fun memory into a really said one without undoing any of the effects! And it means that I don't feel as satisfied from the treat and subconsciously that makes me want another one sooner. You will feel that way in time girl, it just takes practice and finding the route that works for you 🤗😘 xxxx
+Clara J thank you Clara! I am happy! Hopefully it shows lol even through the crazy laugh lol. Let me know if there's any content you'd like to see! Xx
You'll always get a big thumbs up from me Natacha . You looked like you were having a fantastic fun day , shopping with your cousin . I might have to buy your book , just to show my love for you . And the food looks yummy . Norm.xxxx
+norm loughran hey Norm! Thank you, it really means a lot to see people enjoying these videos! 🤗 we had an amazing time and I thought it would be nice to take the topic off of working out and eating for a while as it's just a small part of my life and I think it's really nice to remember that 😊 don't worry about buying the ebook for me, you should just go by if it's something you think you would like 😊 that's a really sweet thing to say though! Xxx
+Krissy hey Krissy! You are too kind and I'm so so happy you've stuck around! I always wonder if people who joined early on are still watching or if I bored them! 🙈 Do you remember which video was your first one?! Xxx
I think it was your first "cutting" videos. It was after you gained a little bit of weight because you focused on studying (was it your thesis?) and you said you're having a hard time focusing on various things. And before that or after, I'm sure I also watched your first 10'000 calorie cheat day. Maybe interesting thing to know for you: I watched your videos before finding you on Instagram :)
Love your videos! Always amazing quality, beautiful shots, and epic food. I love how you show big meals that are high in carbs- proving that u don't need to follow any fad diet to achieve ur goald
+Jade Weisletten hey lovely! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and the kind feedback puts a big smile on my face! I hope you're feeling great and doing yourself proud 😘 PS I love your TH-cam thumbnail xxx
haha sat here eating sweet and salt popcorn watching you talk about sweet and salt popcorn...another great video with some really good advise and of course all the food looked amazing! xx
+Bailey La Bonte 🤗 you're too sweet 😊 everyone is so sweet and I'm over the moon with how many people are supportive and kind so I couldn't ask for more! 😘 xxx
I watch youtubers that inspire me on different sides of this lifestyle and you are definitely my work out inspiration, you are like a ninja with a lot of strenght jajajaja and you look amazing and happy. I'm not an english speaker so sorry if you don't understand what I'm saying...
+Soledad Francisca Utreras Muñoz hey lovely! I definitely understood all of our comment don't worry! Thank you so much for watching! And glad you like the workout style!! You're right! It does make me really happy! Xx
+lisakxo ah some friends were saying really great things about Vancouver and the photos are stunning 😍 you are a lucky girl, hope I get the chance to see it soon! Xxx
Those Muffins are AMAIZING! I made them yesterday and my boyfriend and I already ate them all. I made them for my meal prep for the week, but now they're gone :(
Your gym looks AMAZING. Such a variety of equipment. My gym in New York is horrendous and doesn't even have a squat rack. Switching soon to a new one but it's still nothing like yours! I'm moving to London next year, though, and would love recommendations of good UK gyms if you have any! x
+Amelia Berry hey Amelia! I didn't know you're from NYC! Whereabouts? I'm sure there must be some great gyms in New York but I guess they could be a bit of a journey - I think I pass four or five gyms in the way to this one but I think it's worth it! Let me know when you're coming and ill name a few 😆😘😘 xx
Natacha Océane I'm actually from New Zealand but have lived in NYC for six years 😊 came here to study and then stayed on. There are some great gyms but I know I'll never go if I have to travel and they are quite expensive. I guess you do get what you pay for! I was recently back in NZ on tour and it was so nice having access to good gyms again. Thanks so much for being so helpful - will definitely get in touch once I make the move 😊 xx
Hey Natacha, out of all the fitness youtubers I watch you are the one I look up to. Your approach to fitness and food is great. Unfortunately I have let myself slack a little and cant even do one pushup. Does ist still make sense to buy your program? I really want some sort of guide because I am scared. And would you recommend to get move first or cut or both? Thanks so much xx
The whole time you kept mentioning Wagamamas I was so curious what kind of food it would be and was surprised when it turned out to be Japanese! We don't have that chain in the US. Lovely video
+Lucy Fahrenstück hey Lucy!! If I can also provide additional English lessons that is a super bonus!! Thank you so much for watching! I hope it can help others going through the same thing I went through xx
Natacha, I love how much respect you have for your body! I just don't understand how you eat so much and stay so lean? I've watched your metabolism video but I know if I ate like that I'd just get a bigger belly 😂 I love my gym and training but I have to be strict with my eating if I want to see results! Why is this?? I'd love to live with that freedom to eat as I please (within moderation), should I just trust your method and pray I don't get fatter 🙈 Love from England too!! X
+Hannah-Jane Pryor hey sweetie! Thank you so much for the love 😊🤗 honestly the metabolism video is the method I used - it's not really much more than that! I was initially sceptical too but I read a lot of science journals to try to understand it and it's the only approach I've found that makes sense and it then worked for me! Speaking to a lot of girls and having previously had an ED, I really think the biggest hurdle is the patience it takes for it to work though. If it hasn't worked for you yet, I immediately start to think that you just need more time - if your body starts to bloat or feel a little uncomfortable, that's totally normal as it recalibrates, your hormones readjust and find a new normal etc. It took me about 6 months to go from 1800 calories to 2300 with similar (even slightly reduced) body fat so it does take time. How long have you been going for? Xxx
Natacha Océane thank you so much for your reply!! How amazing would it be to bump into you in England, I wouldn't let you leave I'd have so many questions 🙈 I just think you're really inspirational. I used to have bulimia and I've tried sooo many diets. I thinned out quite a lot when I went vegan but my protein dropped and I couldn't keep it up. For a good few months now I've been eating and training intuitively but I just seem to be increasing on the scales and visually!! I just can't get my head round how NOT restricting is going to help me get lean and strong and basically lose weight which is what I hope to do! What should I do 😅 xx
+Hannah-Jane Pryor I know it seems counterintuitive! I know what you mean about the fad diets and it's so easy to slip into that because there's such a strong emotional attachment to losing fat and looking "good" because of social pressures but I can't recommend enough taking the slow approach that I recommend in Eat More, Get Leaner and How to Calculate your Macros. Another really important tip is to not actually look at body weight if you exercise because training breaks the relationship between fat loss and body weight, so looking at he scales is actually a major distraction - for example I weigh 10-15 kg more now than I did at my leanest with restricting and I am visibly leaner now. 😊 xxx
Natacha Océane Thank you so much!! I would love so much to break that emotional attachment to losing weight/fat. Even though I treat my body better than I did when I had bulimia, the mental side is much harder to shift. I might just repeat watch those videos till the message sinks in I hope! I'll keep you updated with how it's going, and I'll be sure to run back to you if my tummy isn't shrinking 🙈 no, but I know that's how I want to eat/train so I need to be patient!! Xxx
+Hannah-Jane Pryor I honestly completely get it and I really believe that patience is the hardest part of it - if two months passes and you've been resistance training hard but everything is the same, then it might be worth talking about what's up but even in that case it'll probably be that there's a simple explanation like food intake isn't quite right 😊 we'll get there girl don't worry 💪 xx
Hey Natacha! Love your videos, you inspire me to keep a healthy and enjoyable life! What is the difference between a re-feed day and a cheat day? Lots of love! ❤
+Sarah Xx hey Sarah! A cheat day in my eyes is a day where anything goes and a refeed is more calculated for a specific purpose. I did a video a few months back on refeeds and it explains it all in more detail (: xxx
I looooove kitchen stuff! Thought I was the only one lol. Also love desk/bureau stuff like printers etc but I'm pretty sure I'm actually the only one on this lol
Hi Natacha, I wanted to ask what video editing software you use to make your vlogs? I've been really inspired by your videography and want to try and make a similar style video (like lots of short clips together with music over the top) from my holiday film footage! (I also have a Mac which probably restricts my options a bit lol) Thanks :)
+Laura thank you Laura! I think now is definitely the right time for me to move away from tracking and I'm glad I have (: hope you had a great weekend! Xx
hey Claire! thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. For the pistol squat, you can try getting a smith machine and setting the bar at like belly button height. Then practice pistol squatting in the bar of that with your hands on the it for balance and for leverage if you're still developing the strength. Over time, you'll need less help from the bar and you'll be able to just hover your hands over it, which is when you know you're good to go! Hope that helps! xxx
This is perfect because today was my cheat day lol the thing is that I only like to binge on sweet foods like biscuits, cake or cereal ( I ate like 2 whole packages of cookies today... insane I know) and sometimes I feel really bad because I know how bad too much sugar can be. Anyway, tomorrow I will continue eating healthy as I always do, so there is no problem at all (like you said on the video) :)
+Frenshimai amazing! I hope you enjoyed the day and remember that regretting it only turns what's already done from a really happy memory to one that makes you sad 😊 you'll be totally fine girl, just do your regular thing and your body will do the rest at settling back down and getting back into its natural rhythm! Lots of love! 😘😘 xxx
omg thank you for the kind words Natacha! I really appreciate it. You are my inspiration, I started trying new ways of workouts thank to your videos (using resistance bands, HIIT, exercising out on nature...) and I've been really enjoying it. I hope that some day I will be as strong as you are :) keep it up girl! you are amazing!
Hey ! Like Always a great videos! Your training is so motivated for me. I already say that to you but you inspire me so much about your physique but your spirit too. ❤️ how long do your train when you go to the gym ? And how to don't eat a lot and Badly when we are in a vacations and we eat in restaurants ? i love you and your vidéos 😘 xx
+Margaux Doumain hey sweetie! I remember you saying that and thank you for the support! 🤗 I usually train for 45-75mins depending on the workout style I'm doing and when I'm on holiday and want to keep eating well at restaurants, I'll often go for white meat or fish not fried (roasted, grilled, barbecued etc), lots of extra vegetables and then whatever kind of carb source they do well - I just try to avoid foods where lots of oil will be used as that makes me feel greasy and it adds a lot of calories without adding more volume to the food to make me more full. Even if the restaurant doesn't offer that on the menu they will almost always have no problem with it 😊 and sometimes I just enjoy being on vacation and eating out with friends and family! Xxx
Natacha Océane thank you for the answer ! I am 16 and i travel with my parents in Spain so we eat a lot in restaurants and what you said will really help me.❤️
Love these updates. You seem to be raising the bar with every video! Thanks so much! ps. come to Japan for real udon ... and heaps more yummy goodness ^-^ haha
+Missey hey lovely! Thank you so much for saying so, I'm still really trying to get better and learn new skills but it takes a little time 🙈 I can imagine you are completely right about the real stuff - my parents went to Japan last summer and all of the pictures of food were too good 😍🤤 xxx
Natacha Océane keep the videos that you're doing❤️ ( cheat days, receipt ,....) I love them and if you could a few more workout and girl teach me how you learned to do a pistol squat. Did you learn it first with a chair or without ??? Pistol squat and push up are my goal for end September ❤️🙀
+Julieswonderworld thank you sweetie, it makes me so happy to know they help! I practiced using a smith machine with the bar set at belly button height and holding onto that for balance and for support. Eventually you just hover over it and then don't need it at all 😍😊 xxx
Your videos are motivating me so much! You are a-ma-zing!!! I have to gain quite a lot weight due to an eating disorder but what is the best way to divide my macros? Does it make sense in the way how I'm going to gain weight? Thank you for making all these videos xxx
+foodforfemke hey lovely!! Thanks so much for the support and the kind comment, it's really nice to know that these videos help! So I have a couple of videos that I think can help - eat more, get leaner (how to improve your metabolism), and how to calculate your macros. Have you seen those two? They explain in detail the advice I would give. And I'm always here if you have any questions! Xx
I don't think there's any video of yours that I didn't learn anything or a reminder or just a boost you always hit it spot on :) looking forward to purchasing your ebook in a few. I was late finding out about the release! Proud of you. Will do #natacharecipeproject x😘x
Thank you so much sweetie! It puts the biggest smile on my face when people say they find these videos helpful as I wish I had known a lot of this stuff when I was younger and my intentions for the channel is to just share as much as I can. Big hugs! xxx
+Patricia Alves I know how you feel sweetie, it really sucks and becomes so draining sometimes 😊 I hope these videos give you some ideas that might help or at least kept you entertained! 😜😳 xxx
Hey everyone! I'm moving away from tracking my foods so I couldn't really share the exact macro breakdown but I hope this helps! I incorporate refeeds, cheat days and spontaneous treats into my diet really often and straight after I always go back to eating exactly the same as normal to let my body settle.
Lots of love! xxx
you are the bomb girl i hope you never doubt that!
Thank you forever for helping me feel less ashamed of myself and enjoy my relationships with food and exercise
❤️❤️❤️
great video! je t'adore! xx
can I ask what is the brand of your necklace？it's so beautiful on you，trying some recipe of yours，and taste so good
I really appreciate that you didn't restrict your calories or "punish" yourself after your cheat day! A lot of people go on crazy "cleanses" and "detoxes" after a day of indulging which is really unhealthy! Your mindset toward food is admirable 😊👏🙌💗
+Carbs Are Happiness thank you!! Cleansing never worked for me because it usually means having a super low calorie intake the next day and that just caused me to feel the need to overeat again a week later. I'm definitely happier with my mindset towards food and also life now (: xxxx
Natacha Océane that makes sense
Okay. So you are the most relatable youtuber that i've come across. You cheat and you are proud of it. You enjoy it and that's so amazing. I love you so much. You promote health so beautifully - you enjoy your cheat meal and you bounce back. I love you so much for showing and supporting that😘❤
+Asmita Sethi you're always so kind Asmita!! I'm glad you find me relatable, it's so nice to find a community that I feel really close to (: x
I'm so lucky to find you. Its always lovely to watch your videos. You are so adorable and humble and sweet😘😘😊❤
It is such a good mentality to eat normally after a cheat day. You really inspire me to eat healthy but not restrict myself. Keep up the good work.
+Puloma Panda thank you lovely! It really works for me so I hope it does for you too (: xx
I just love the fact that you go back eating the way you eat without restricting after a cheat day and just how simple and healthy your relationship with food is in general :)
love you 😘😘
+Camille Lt hey sweetie 🤗😊 I hope you are doing really well! big hugs and lots of love 😘😘 xxx
In love with your videos, Natacha!! Definitely agree on the point where you shouldn't restrict yourself. Been there and always failed!
+Liah Yoo 리아유 thanks sweetie! I remember those days too! It's such a massive lesson when you keep trying and failing right! 😳 xxx
You’ve helped me so much Natacha, you have no idea! Your background with ed and training is so similar to mine that I almost thought we were siblings. 😅 Trying hard everyday to get out the cycle of binge/ purge/ over and undereating and never have I ever met someone on youtube with a mindset like your. I could cry 😢 Thank u beautiful soul 💕
Lots of love from Finland
natacha i really really hope your chnnel becomes so big and gets millions of subscribers because you are such a good human being 😊🙌
+Soff Bjorg aww that's really kind of you Soff! I don't think it works that way though lol and I'm so happy for everyone on this channel already! Maybe one day though! Xx
Omg those pistol squats, you absolute beast!! I can't even do one! I love your positivity in every video, can't wait for a London meetup
+Amy J hey sweetie! If you want to be able to do them, you can practice in front of a smith machine with the bar at belly button height. Keep one hand on the bar and use it for balance and for support on the way up, and over time you'll be able to loosen your grip on it 😊 I really hope I can organise what I have in mind soon! Hopefully in the meantime I can be part of an event where we can do a meet up more casually 🤗😘 xxx
Natacha Océane thanks so much for the pistol squat tip, I've been practising sitting slowly one legged onto a box for now but will try with the smith machine too. Can't wait to hear of any future meetups! Xx
+Amy J that's not a bad one either but if the box is a little high it will prevent a full range of motion which I've noticed happens often. Whichever you prefer girl but let me know! 😘😘 xxx
ur positivity is absolutely radiant 🥺🥺 been feeling real nasty since my cheat day yesterday and ur energy has really got my spirits back up
I am in LOVE with the way you exercise ❤️
I am in LOVE with the way you eat ❤️
I am in LOVE how you enjoy your cheatdays ❤️
I am in LOVE with your smile ❤️
I am in Love with your personality❤️
You inspired me a lot
Kisses from The Netherlands
+Soraya _x that's so sweet thank you Soraya! This is so kind of you I really appreciate it ❤️❤️ Hope you had an amazing weekend and love back to the Netherlands! I love it there! Xx
I love that you're not afraid of "junkier" ingredients like oil, popcorn, or pasta, you can eat out even when not cheating, you genuinely enjoy the cheat, and the incredibly positive relationship with food that you've nurtured. It really inspires me to break free of some lingering eating disorder habits!
+MK hey! I am really glad you are setting out to develop that and I think it's such a good, happy thing to relax the rules around eating that way as it made me so much happier! Let me know if there's ever any way I can help and I hope you feel great about the progress you're making! Also my boyfriend has those initials and the thumbnail looks like his godson so I saw this and did a massive double take! 😂😘 xx
you are such a happy and kind person that it inspires me so much more than just in health and fitness (you do with that too!!). even if you made videos not about health and just about your day to day i would still love them! xxx love from Bristol!
its so inspiring that you don't feel guilty or punish yourself after a day like the previous video. I am getting there slowly and i have to say it does actually make me feel like a completely new person so i cant ever say thank you enough! ❤❤
I know you posted this a couple years ago, but I’ve just recently discovered you and so glad I did! I feel like I’ve wasted the last 20 years calorie restricting and then binging and trying all sorts of diets with the “promise” of fast results, but I was going about it all wrong. Thank you for making your content and sharing your journey and research findings with us! You are a refreshing voice and inspiration! I’ve now come back to weight-training and a healthy, balanced relationship with food. It feels good. Thank you! 🤗❤️💪🥗🍩
i actually think most fitness youtubers dont promote physical health (and definitely not mental) which is such a sad thought so i have always said that your videos stand out so much natasha :) you motivate me so much and i wish i could say thank you enough but i dont think its possible!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love your training videos and all of your recipes because they're so adaptable and so much easier to fit into my routine than anything else I've seen!! Such a big fan of yours Natacha and I love your channel more than anything else out there and adore your personality❤️❤️keep doing what your doing!
+Amira Ihardane aww thank you so much Amira! I really try to make it accessible and long term because I think that's the key!! That means a lot, lots of love xxx
Another video you should be proud of Natacha! Its so amazing that you show people that you eat really well and a lot and that you show everyone how they can do it too because so many youtubers show themselves eating like 1400 calories and its so sad for people to watch and get those ideas. You truly deserve to go so far girl!
Hey Claire! Thank you so much for the constant support and for being so sweet! I hope you're having an amazing day and that this video was fun to watch! xx
A short, thin woman who doesn't workout or exercise regularly can eat 1400 calories a day without a problem...not everyone needs 2000 calories a day!
haha yes except I tried to eat 1400 cal a day for a week and wanted to kill myself XD
Thank u so much Natacha.Seriously u dnt hv any idea how helpful ur videos are!! God bless u girl.U r my role model.
+sadaf sabir you are more than welcome and let me know if there's ever anything I can do that can help! Lots of love😘😘 xxx
I absolutely love your videos. They're so peaceful and calming, and you're very polite when speaking.
I always look forward to an update.💕
+My_Butt hey 🤗 thank you, that's really kind of you to say 😘 I really hope you enjoyed this one! Ps your TH-cam name made me laugh 😂xx
Hi Natacha! Never commented on a video before but I absolutely love how humble, sweet, and funny you are :) I love that you back up all your info with research articles and your recipes are all simple enough to do with whatever is in the kitchen. Thanks for being so awesome! Love from California :)
+blieveinangels08 hey lovely! I'm so glad you decided to leave a comment and to be so kind! I really appreciate you leaving one here! Please let me know if there's anything you'd ever like to see or if you have any questions 😂 lots of love! 😘😘 Xxx
Natacha Océane thanks so much for the reply! I enjoy any video you make but any tips on staying motivated when life is busy? I know you mentioned before that when you were in uni you'd take the pressure off workouts and focus on studying but I'm going to be on clinical rotations and working 6-7 days per week and I want to maintain the healthy changes I've made so far this year. It's just so difficult when I'll be so tired all the time but I don't want that to be an excuse.
+blieveinangels08 is that for med school? How long will it last? That's a tough one because I completely get that you will want to be focussed on doing well. Xx
Natacha Océane i'm in pharmacy school and graduate in May 2018 so about one year. That's why I want to keep the healthy habits going because I really only started eating cleaner since 2017 started and my exercise right now is walking in my neighborhood. I just started (last week, terrible, I know) doing 30 second sprints for 10 sets o_o
+blieveinangels08 that's not terrible, I'm sure you always had a lot going on and it's difficult to be super on top of everything at once 😊 I think given that it'll be for a year and you'll have not much energy to spare, my main tip would be keeping it fun and picking only the exercise style that gets you excited - that might take a little experimenting at first but it helped me to look forward to working out so much! Also, if you have a few lighter days where you walk, that's great! I have a few lighter days every week out of choice and it works so well for me 😊 hope that helps! 😘😘 xx
Great advice on how to think about cheat days. Mine used to be very structured on a time line but now I have one every 1-2 months depending on events in my life ....yesterday was a wedding we attended so I ate clean for my first 3 meals and then had a cheat meal with wedding cake. Back to normal eating today and training. Thanks again Natacha, you are wise! Oh the advice we could give our younger selves! Keep the videos coming, always enjoy seeing You! Much love from Phoenix, Lori❤
+Lori Wait haha it's true Lori, but the more I think about the more I think we needed to go through those points to be who are now (: glad you enjoyed some of that wedding cake! Weddings are always so much fun!! Lots of love and have a great week ahead xx
Those muffins she makes at the beginning of the video are life
+Michelle Bellanova hey sweetie! 🙈 I'm so glad everyone liked them! Since they are meant to be so macro friendly I often expect people who aren't thinking about macros to not be so into them but that's amazing feedback 🤗😘 lots of love! 😘😘 xxx
Understandable! I'm always the one making healthy dishes or desserts for loved ones and I often don't mention how healthy or macro-friendly it is because I don't want them to think it's less tasty. Why do people think healthy means bland? They're usually always surprised something I make is healthy because it tastes so good! I hope people's perceptions of health foods changes someday soon.
+Michelle Bellanova I'm the same! I used to not tell them that it was any different and they'd like it! I'd tell them after wards and then after a while they became ok with it and didn't associate it with boring foods. I hope the same as you 🤗😘 xxx
Glad it's not just me! :)
Glad I found you. I have subbed for a while. With a full time job and other things on my plate, I already feel like being able to work out is such an achievement, but tracking macros is something I could never do. I also feel like obsessing over macros is a recipe for disaster for anyone recovered from an eating disorder, so I am glad that you have moved away from that to eating more intuitively. I enjoy all your videos and will definitely get your e book + will look out for more ❤️ #lovefromthailand 🇹🇭
hey lovely! I think you have found an amazing balance and it sounds like you are pushing yourself so you I hope you're really happy! I've heard the best things about thailand over the last few days so I may have to make a journey out sometime in the next year or so! Lots of love 😘 xxx
hi natacha - just wanted to drop a note to say i always watch all your videos just because i adore your personality and you have never not put me in a good mood! 😍😍
+Nat O thank you Nat! You always comment, it makes me so happy to see! X
love u Natacha! your Sunday uploads are the highlight before going back to work
+Sophie Bryant thank you Sophie! I hope it puts you in a good mood before the end of the weekend! Xx
natacha i missed the last three weeks of your videos as i was on my holidays with my family and now i have so many to watch lol. this is my first one and next i will watch your cheat day!! x
+Natalie Morieux yay! I love a good catch up sometimes! I hope you enjoy the videos! Where did you go on holiday? And hope you had a lovely time! Xx
So glad I found your channel! Such a breath of fresh air 😀 I have struggled with an eating disorder for years! I was lead to believe carbs are the devil and sugar should NEVER be touched! I would feel so guilty when I’d eaten either of those things 😔and totally beat myself up afterwards. I’ve started lifting heavier and mixing up my workouts, my body has transformed, still got some to go but you have definitely opened my eyes 👀 to a way more relaxed approach 😘😘😘
You were so right, when you told me i would like this video. Food + training + Natacha, in one video = me getting out running way later than i planned. I had a while where i tracked every calorie that i ate, AND ate way to little. Today i mostly only track my breakfast, and eat 80/20 with lots of awesome food. Wish you all the best! 😀
hey! I'm glad you did! and I'm sorry you delayed your run 😂 It sounds like you've found a great balance and the mix that works for you so I'm really happy for you! Lots of love! xxx
you motivate me to make working out a lifestyle!
+ItsMayvelous that's awesome May!! As long as you choose something you enjoy, you'll be able to make it a lifestyle (: xxx
Your laugh is actually the cutest omg
+Elma Islam haha thanks! Xx
you are seriously so adorable! i love your relationship with food and the inspiration that you provide :)
+rawritta hey sweetie! Thank you so much 🤗🙈 I hope you enjoyed the video! Xxx
I have always been scared of the gym because of what people would think of me, but watching your videos have inspired me to workout and make it a lifestyle that i will enjoy. I will start my membership on monday and i am excited to get fit! Btw i am 15 if you were wondering ( hopefully you will see this!)
Hey sweetie! that is actually such a normal feeling so you totally should not feel like that makes you different in any way! It will feel weird the first 2-3 times but honestly once you've been in there for a few hours you'll realise nobody is really looking and everyone is worrying about their own workout, or getting home on time, or something else going on in their life (: It'll feel so comfortable pretty soon and you'll love it! Let me know if you have any questions or if i can help with any of it! 😘😘 xxx
Everything looks soooo good! Great video Natacha!
+Valentina vivallo perez hey sweetie! I'm glad you liked the look of it! I was proud of my breakfast but then Mario's dinner was something else 😳 I'm going to have to practice making pasta I think... xxx
Hello Natacha.... I found about you a week and I have to admit that I really love tour videos... I really like and appreciate the way that you give us a tone of stunning advice on nutrition or working out and so on.... I love your character your personality and your are a wonderful person.... I want to thank you for giving inspiration to a 15-year old girl to start living a healthier lifestyle and start working out..... Thank you so much.... I love you 😚😗
+Antigone S hey lovely 🤗 that is really kind of you to say and it makes me so happy than there's some useful content on here! I get the feeling you are a wonderful person to be leaving a comment and being so sweet 😘 I hope it feels amazing and brings you so much happiness and self confidence 💪 😘😘 xx
Natacha Océane 😍😍😙
+Antigone S 🤗🤗 xxx
Love how real you are Natacha!! its so refreshing xx
+Natalie Wixon 😄 thanks Natalie, everyone is so kind and sweet that I don't really feel any need to cover anything up 😄 I guess it's that ms to everyone watching that I feel comfortable 😘 xx
You're the only you tuber I turn notifications on for and for a good reason too your videos are amazing and you can just tell how hard you work 💖
+Hannah Lucxk hey Hannah! You always leave such kind comments! I hope this one was worth the distraction from whatever you were doing 😊😘 xxx
Gonna have to go over and get your ebook after those muffins!! 😍 Love your videos you are such an inspiration to me
+helen a hey girl! Thank you so much for the support and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It was a late Saturday night working on this one so it means a lot! 🤗😘 xxx
Girl, whenever I make muffins or cake, I eat the whole darn batch! Lol! It's an outlandish habit of mine but I don't have any shame in it! 😂 Who can stop at one? Kitchen staples and gadgets are also my favorite to shop for! Omg! And that pretzel....YUM! Bread, carbs, dough, all are life!
I bought the lunch ebook, not really intending to use it but I just wanted to support my girl. I love it actually. I’m going to buy the breakfast one too. It’s a steal if you think about it. Here in the states, recipe magazines go about $10-14 and I paid $5! ♥️♥️♥️
best thing to come home to after a long day of school! xx
+lim li hey! I'm glad and I hope it helped take the thought off of school work for a little while! I used to go home and take time off colouring or go trampolining to get it all out of my head, and now people have TH-cam!
Ahh I love your videos so much! Your positivity about life and food makes me so happy and it's always so inspiring to me!
Also those pistol squats were amazing wow :O haha!
+KamaraFitnessLife hey sweetie! Thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed this one! The pistol squats are just practice! My balance was the issue when I started but the smith machine helped with that 😊 xxx
love all of your videos so much! as soon as i get a notifaction i'm like nope not doing that any more! 👏
+Catherine Roche haha thank you Catherine! As long as you're not driving or something! Thanks so much for watching xx
Hi lovely x I've been watching your videos for a while now and I've never commented on anyone's video before but I just think you are so amazingly positive and nice and you really show it in your videos💗your like someone I would love to be friends with and i find myself beaming watching you. I'm so glad I found your videos as I love them so much x keep doing what your doing because your absolutely killing it💗💗
+jessica power hey Jessica! That's really sweet of you to say and I'm so glad you decided to leave your first comment here! 💁 you are too kind and I can tell we would be friends! 🤗 thanks for the love! Xxxx
Natacha Océane so kind of you to reply girlie💗💗definitely first comment worthy I can tell you that for a fact haha🤞🏻sending lots of love from Ireland💚
Shoutout 😂 to the popcorn - sweet and salty is the one!
You have just described me over the past couple of days. I binged at the weekend, then yesterday I restricted, I was doing great til my partner suggested pizza 🙄 and when it arrived I went absolutely ham!!
In fairness, I wasn't too hungry but I knew I still had calories left but then one slice turned into like 6 🙈 So today I'm just going to eat my normal, thank you. I need your ebook, I'm going to purchase it right now! Xx
+Coco Amande aww thank you Coco. Yeah sweet and salt is the best as well as salted caramel (:
And don't worry about the extra pizza slices, we all need some pizza (: you're right in going back to normal, and it's all great memories (:
I hope you like the ebook! I'll be releasing the lunch one soon! Xxx lots of love x
+Coco Amande 😂 it's the best right?! What you're describing is totally normal and that's exactly one of the main reasons I do what I do 🤗hope you enjoyed the pizza at least! Xxx
Natacha Océane well I did enjoy it. I've got to the point now with the help of you, I've stopped feeling guilty because all the guilt in the world is not going to change what I've eaten. In fact it's probably more detrimental to feel guilty as the cycle will continue. I'm sick of spending too much time feeling guilty 😂 as you say, you now feel free. That's what I'm hoping will continue to happen 😁❤️
+Coco Amande yep that's exactly what I think! All the guilt just turns a happy experience and a fun memory into a really said one without undoing any of the effects! And it means that I don't feel as satisfied from the treat and subconsciously that makes me want another one sooner. You will feel that way in time girl, it just takes practice and finding the route that works for you 🤗😘 xxxx
This is insane! You're such an inspiration to leading a healthy lifestyle!! 💜
+Olivia Carrier thanks Olivia! You're really kind and I am so glad you enjoyed the video 😆😀 xxx
Aww you're such a ray of sunshine 😍 love ur healthy attitude towards food and exercise! Seems like you're really happy 😍
+Clara J thank you Clara! I am happy! Hopefully it shows lol even through the crazy laugh lol. Let me know if there's any content you'd like to see! Xx
You'll always get a big thumbs up from me Natacha . You looked like you were having a fantastic fun day , shopping with your cousin . I might have to buy your book , just to show my love for you . And the food looks yummy . Norm.xxxx
+norm loughran hey Norm! Thank you, it really means a lot to see people enjoying these videos! 🤗 we had an amazing time and I thought it would be nice to take the topic off of working out and eating for a while as it's just a small part of my life and I think it's really nice to remember that 😊 don't worry about buying the ebook for me, you should just go by if it's something you think you would like 😊 that's a really sweet thing to say though! Xxx
You seem like such a fun person to hangout with 😊
+Annie-Claude Farley hey sweetie! Thanks! I'm not sure if I'd be too much after a while! 😂 lots of love xxx
food,shopping,lots of laughs and a good workout...I really enjoy this vlog!!
+M. Ges thank you! That means a lot and I like that you enjoyed coming out of working out footage for a little while! Xxx
a great video Natacha. Interesting to learn from your approach after overeating which I'm sure we all do.
+Aravi Hijjen thank you Aravi!! I hope it can help someone going through a similar situation to me when I was younger xx
Perfect, never worried aboit the cheat days or overeating, just enjoy and eat normally 😍
Your videos are so fun to watch and take inspiration from!!!! ❤❤
Thank you Mari (: I'm glad you find them fun to watch! They're a lot of fun to make as well xx
Natacha, you're the best...watch your videos since you've started :-) Such motivation and you make me feel happy with your energy and positivity :)
+Krissy hey Krissy! You are too kind and I'm so so happy you've stuck around! I always wonder if people who joined early on are still watching or if I bored them! 🙈 Do you remember which video was your first one?! Xxx
I think it was your first "cutting" videos. It was after you gained a little bit of weight because you focused on studying (was it your thesis?) and you said you're having a hard time focusing on various things. And before that or after, I'm sure I also watched your first 10'000 calorie cheat day. Maybe interesting thing to know for you: I watched your videos before finding you on Instagram :)
Love your videos! Always amazing quality, beautiful shots, and epic food. I love how you show big meals that are high in carbs- proving that u don't need to follow any fad diet to achieve ur goald
+Jade Weisletten hey lovely! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and the kind feedback puts a big smile on my face! I hope you're feeling great and doing yourself proud 😘 PS I love your TH-cam thumbnail xxx
haha sat here eating sweet and salt popcorn watching you talk about sweet and salt popcorn...another great video with some really good advise and of course all the food looked amazing! xx
+Emily Isobelle Jane hey Emily! No way!! But it's the best flavour 100% right?! X
haha yes 100% why have just sweet or just salted when you can have them combined ;) nothing beats it! xx
do you like salted caramel too?? I feel like that's the classy sweet and salt haha xx
I haven't found salted caramel that doesn't have milk in it yet which im really allergic to! Its my brothers favourite though :') xx
you deserve so many more subscribers !❤️❤️❤️
+Bailey La Bonte 🤗 you're too sweet 😊 everyone is so sweet and I'm over the moon with how many people are supportive and kind so I couldn't ask for more! 😘 xxx
I love the comments in the workouts! Please keep doing this :D If you could include the full workout in the description box that would be awesome.
I watch youtubers that inspire me on different sides of this lifestyle and you are definitely my work out inspiration, you are like a ninja with a lot of strenght jajajaja and you look amazing and happy.
I'm not an english speaker so sorry if you don't understand what I'm saying...
+Soledad Francisca Utreras Muñoz hey lovely! I definitely understood all of our comment don't worry! Thank you so much for watching! And glad you like the workout style!! You're right! It does make me really happy! Xx
You are always so positive, I love it! Sending love from Canada :)
+lisakxo hey sweetie! Thank you 🤗 where are you from in Canada? I've heard such great things! Big hugs! 🤗😘 xxx
I am from the west coast... Vancouver BC. Lots of outdoor activities here if you ever come visit ;) xoxo
+lisakxo ah some friends were saying really great things about Vancouver and the photos are stunning 😍 you are a lucky girl, hope I get the chance to see it soon! Xxx
Thank you Natacha t yesterday was my cheating day I enjoyed and wake up today eat normally and make my excerise 😍😍
+ReemFoodVlogs so happy to hear that!! What was your favourite food? Hope you have a lovely weekend xx
The only health related channel that I love ❤❤❤❤
+VchanceU I'm so happy you enjoy the videos 🤗🤗 that's so nice! Xx
Hi Natacha ❤ is there anywhere you can find the recipe for these muffins? Seeing as they aren’t in your breakfast recipe guide any longer ☺️
Those Muffins are AMAIZING! I made them yesterday and my boyfriend and I already ate them all. I made them for my meal prep for the week, but now they're gone :(
+Chantelle du Toit hey Chantelle! I'm so glad you liked them and I'm sorry for the temptation 😳 you can always whip up some more! 😘 xxx
“I like to live life on the....... oh God” hahaha I died
New subscriber here! You have a really fun laugh, I love hearing it haha
+Cinabuni hey! Thank you, it's a bit wacky at times and that was a good example! 🙈 xx
Your gym looks AMAZING. Such a variety of equipment. My gym in New York is horrendous and doesn't even have a squat rack. Switching soon to a new one but it's still nothing like yours! I'm moving to London next year, though, and would love recommendations of good UK gyms if you have any! x
+Amelia Berry hey Amelia! I didn't know you're from NYC! Whereabouts? I'm sure there must be some great gyms in New York but I guess they could be a bit of a journey - I think I pass four or five gyms in the way to this one but I think it's worth it! Let me know when you're coming and ill name a few 😆😘😘 xx
Natacha Océane I'm actually from New Zealand but have lived in NYC for six years 😊 came here to study and then stayed on. There are some great gyms but I know I'll never go if I have to travel and they are quite expensive. I guess you do get what you pay for! I was recently back in NZ on tour and it was so nice having access to good gyms again. Thanks so much for being so helpful - will definitely get in touch once I make the move 😊 xx
+Amelia Berry ah ok! I can imagine it's a lot like central London where the prices are pretty steep! That sounds good, let me know! Xx
You're actually really fun. I enjoyed this video. I'm gonna subscribe!
Hey Natacha, out of all the fitness youtubers I watch you are the one I look up to. Your approach to fitness and food is great. Unfortunately I have let myself slack a little and cant even do one pushup. Does ist still make sense to buy your program? I really want some sort of guide because I am scared. And would you recommend to get move first or cut or both? Thanks so much xx
The whole time you kept mentioning Wagamamas I was so curious what kind of food it would be and was surprised when it turned out to be Japanese! We don't have that chain in the US. Lovely video
+Sara Anderson ah really?! Wow they are so big over here! If you ever come over you know what to try 🤗 xx
Natacha Océane Definitely! And I'm with you, I would pick the udon over that curry any day!😂
I love your intros! that mesh top was really stylish!
+GroovyVlogs hey sweetie! Thanks, I put it on as soon as I bought it as usual! 😂😘 xxx
your welcome! haha I would probs do the same 😂😂
i'm so happy i discovered your channel some time ago!!
+Lucy Fahrenstück hey Lucy!! If I can also provide additional English lessons that is a super bonus!! Thank you so much for watching! I hope it can help others going through the same thing I went through xx
love your channel! I find you really inspiring
+Hannah R thank you Hannah, I really appreciate you saying so 🤗 xxx
I always wait for your videos!! I love you xxx
+Riina hey lovely! I really hope they are worth the wait! 😵 where are you from? Lots of love to wherever you are! Xxx
Natacha Océane I am from Finland :) and they are always worth of waiting, I'm never dissapointed xx
+Riina ahh that's so kind of you to say (: much love to Finland! I've never been but would love to!
LOVE U NATACHA!!
+Georgia Jeffery thanks Georgia! Lots of love back! Xx
Love your workouts😍 wanna try them all🙏🏻
Natacha, I love how much respect you have for your body! I just don't understand how you eat so much and stay so lean? I've watched your metabolism video but I know if I ate like that I'd just get a bigger belly 😂 I love my gym and training but I have to be strict with my eating if I want to see results! Why is this??
I'd love to live with that freedom to eat as I please (within moderation), should I just trust your method and pray I don't get fatter 🙈
Love from England too!! X
+Hannah-Jane Pryor hey sweetie! Thank you so much for the love 😊🤗 honestly the metabolism video is the method I used - it's not really much more than that! I was initially sceptical too but I read a lot of science journals to try to understand it and it's the only approach I've found that makes sense and it then worked for me! Speaking to a lot of girls and having previously had an ED, I really think the biggest hurdle is the patience it takes for it to work though. If it hasn't worked for you yet, I immediately start to think that you just need more time - if your body starts to bloat or feel a little uncomfortable, that's totally normal as it recalibrates, your hormones readjust and find a new normal etc. It took me about 6 months to go from 1800 calories to 2300 with similar (even slightly reduced) body fat so it does take time. How long have you been going for? Xxx
Natacha Océane thank you so much for your reply!! How amazing would it be to bump into you in England, I wouldn't let you leave I'd have so many questions 🙈 I just think you're really inspirational. I used to have bulimia and I've tried sooo many diets. I thinned out quite a lot when I went vegan but my protein dropped and I couldn't keep it up. For a good few months now I've been eating and training intuitively but I just seem to be increasing on the scales and visually!! I just can't get my head round how NOT restricting is going to help me get lean and strong and basically lose weight which is what I hope to do! What should I do 😅 xx
+Hannah-Jane Pryor I know it seems counterintuitive! I know what you mean about the fad diets and it's so easy to slip into that because there's such a strong emotional attachment to losing fat and looking "good" because of social pressures but I can't recommend enough taking the slow approach that I recommend in Eat More, Get Leaner and How to Calculate your Macros. Another really important tip is to not actually look at body weight if you exercise because training breaks the relationship between fat loss and body weight, so looking at he scales is actually a major distraction - for example I weigh 10-15 kg more now than I did at my leanest with restricting and I am visibly leaner now. 😊 xxx
Natacha Océane Thank you so much!! I would love so much to break that emotional attachment to losing weight/fat. Even though I treat my body better than I did when I had bulimia, the mental side is much harder to shift. I might just repeat watch those videos till the message sinks in I hope!
I'll keep you updated with how it's going, and I'll be sure to run back to you if my tummy isn't shrinking 🙈 no, but I know that's how I want to eat/train so I need to be patient!! Xxx
+Hannah-Jane Pryor I honestly completely get it and I really believe that patience is the hardest part of it - if two months passes and you've been resistance training hard but everything is the same, then it might be worth talking about what's up but even in that case it'll probably be that there's a simple explanation like food intake isn't quite right 😊 we'll get there girl don't worry 💪 xx
How can I get a metabolism like yours, Natacha? 😂
she has videos on it :) its not genetic lol
whats the video called?
hey sweetie! Yep the one linked above is the one! Thanks for replying! 😘😘 let me know if you have any questions, I'm always here! xxx
Go to the gym
Hey Natacha! Love your videos, you inspire me to keep a healthy and enjoyable life! What is the difference between a re-feed day and a cheat day? Lots of love! ❤
+Sarah Xx hey Sarah! A cheat day in my eyes is a day where anything goes and a refeed is more calculated for a specific purpose. I did a video a few months back on refeeds and it explains it all in more detail (: xxx
you are such a babe, always super positive.
+Delfi Gomez thank you sweetie! I'm so grateful for the support and I really hope you liked the video! 😘😘😘 xx
I looooove kitchen stuff! Thought I was the only one lol. Also love desk/bureau stuff like printers etc but I'm pretty sure I'm actually the only one on this lol
So you and your cousin are the most gorgeous people ever!
Lots of love from Egypt 😍😘😘you inspire me a lot
+Yomna Sadek hey sweetie! I really hope you enjoy these videos and lots of love back from London 😘🤗 xxx
Hi Natacha, I wanted to ask what video editing software you use to make your vlogs? I've been really inspired by your videography and want to try and make a similar style video (like lots of short clips together with music over the top) from my holiday film footage! (I also have a Mac which probably restricts my options a bit lol)
Thanks :)
Girl if I can eat like you
I would never cheat
Loving the frequent uploads💛🤗
+Amy thanks Amy! Hope you enjoyed the video!! Xx
I wanna move away from tracking also! And i LOVE the if you eat more one day just go back to normal! Fab
+Laura thank you Laura! I think now is definitely the right time for me to move away from tracking and I'm glad I have (: hope you had a great weekend! Xx
Another amazing video
hey Claire! thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. For the pistol squat, you can try getting a smith machine and setting the bar at like belly button height. Then practice pistol squatting in the bar of that with your hands on the it for balance and for leverage if you're still developing the strength. Over time, you'll need less help from the bar and you'll be able to just hover your hands over it, which is when you know you're good to go! Hope that helps! xxx
This is perfect because today was my cheat day lol the thing is that I only like to binge on sweet foods like biscuits, cake or cereal ( I ate like 2 whole packages of cookies today... insane I know) and sometimes I feel really bad because I know how bad too much sugar can be. Anyway, tomorrow I will continue eating healthy as I always do, so there is no problem at all (like you said on the video) :)
+Frenshimai amazing! I hope you enjoyed the day and remember that regretting it only turns what's already done from a really happy memory to one that makes you sad 😊 you'll be totally fine girl, just do your regular thing and your body will do the rest at settling back down and getting back into its natural rhythm! Lots of love! 😘😘 xxx
omg thank you for the kind words Natacha! I really appreciate it. You are my inspiration, I started trying new ways of workouts thank to your videos (using resistance bands, HIIT, exercising out on nature...) and I've been really enjoying it. I hope that some day I will be as strong as you are :) keep it up girl! you are amazing!
+Frenshimai you're more than welcome 🤗 and you will girl, it's nothing but practice and hard work over enough time! Lots of love 😘😘 xx
5:35 workout starts
Hey ! Like Always a great videos! Your training is so motivated for me. I already say that to you but you inspire me so much about your physique but your spirit too. ❤️ how long do your train when you go to the gym ? And how to don't eat a lot and Badly when we are in a vacations and we eat in restaurants ? i love you and your vidéos 😘 xx
+Margaux Doumain hey sweetie! I remember you saying that and thank you for the support! 🤗 I usually train for 45-75mins depending on the workout style I'm doing and when I'm on holiday and want to keep eating well at restaurants, I'll often go for white meat or fish not fried (roasted, grilled, barbecued etc), lots of extra vegetables and then whatever kind of carb source they do well - I just try to avoid foods where lots of oil will be used as that makes me feel greasy and it adds a lot of calories without adding more volume to the food to make me more full. Even if the restaurant doesn't offer that on the menu they will almost always have no problem with it 😊 and sometimes I just enjoy being on vacation and eating out with friends and family! Xxx
Natacha Océane thank you for the answer ! I am 16 and i travel with my parents in Spain so we eat a lot in restaurants and what you said will really help me.❤️
+Margaux Doumain that makes sense, I remember the days! Hopefully that helps then! Xxx
Just bought the ebook for those damn muffins

Love these updates. You seem to be raising the bar with every video! Thanks so much!
ps. come to Japan for real udon ... and heaps more yummy goodness ^-^ haha
+Missey hey lovely! Thank you so much for saying so, I'm still really trying to get better and learn new skills but it takes a little time 🙈 I can imagine you are completely right about the real stuff - my parents went to Japan last summer and all of the pictures of food were too good 😍🤤 xxx
Im really loving your videos !!!!
+Julieswonderworld thank you Julie!! Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see soon (: xx
Natacha Océane keep the videos that you're doing❤️ ( cheat days, receipt ,....) I love them and if you could a few more workout and girl teach me how you learned to do a pistol squat. Did you learn it first with a chair or without ??? Pistol squat and push up are my goal for end September ❤️🙀
+Julieswonderworld thank you sweetie, it makes me so happy to know they help! I practiced using a smith machine with the bar set at belly button height and holding onto that for balance and for support. Eventually you just hover over it and then don't need it at all 😍😊 xxx
Your videos are motivating me so much! You are a-ma-zing!!! I have to gain quite a lot weight due to an eating disorder but what is the best way to divide my macros? Does it make sense in the way how I'm going to gain weight? Thank you for making all these videos xxx
+foodforfemke hey lovely!! Thanks so much for the support and the kind comment, it's really nice to know that these videos help! So I have a couple of videos that I think can help - eat more, get leaner (how to improve your metabolism), and how to calculate your macros. Have you seen those two? They explain in detail the advice I would give. And I'm always here if you have any questions! Xx
LOVING KITCHEN STUFF OVER HERE 😍😍😂
Just when I'm wondering if Natacha will post a video and TADA! Notification came :)
I don't think there's any video of yours that I didn't learn anything or a reminder or just a boost you always hit it spot on :) looking forward to purchasing your ebook in a few. I was late finding out about the release! Proud of you. Will do #natacharecipeproject x😘x
Thank you so much sweetie! It puts the biggest smile on my face when people say they find these videos helpful as I wish I had known a lot of this stuff when I was younger and my intentions for the channel is to just share as much as I can. Big hugs! xxx
Those noodles though😻🍜 not wise to watch before bed HAHA
+Grace Journey hahah they were so good! I can't think about food before bed or I am not sleeping! 😵🤤 xxx
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making vids like these ! It's hard sometimes... !
+Patricia Alves I know how you feel sweetie, it really sucks and becomes so draining sometimes 😊 I hope these videos give you some ideas that might help or at least kept you entertained! 😜😳 xxx
