Re peanuts and inflammation:
This is complicated and I didn’t mean to diminish Nina’s personal experience. The word inflammation is triggering for a lot of health care professionals because it is so often misused/overused by people when discussing their diet. As for the feedback I’m getting:
1. All foods affect different people differently. But most nutrition professionals will agree that “Inflammation” is an incredibly overused and misused word in wellness communities. It’s absolutely a real thing but often used inappropriately (or to describe poorly understood phenomenon/ catch all symptoms), and I was trying to make a point based on an actual evidence based definition of inflammation.
2. You’re right officially classified as a legume, but nutritionally they are more similar to nuts and seeds
3. Peanuts actually have a relatively favourable omega ratio compared to a lot of other nuts or seeds (or legumes if we’re being technical ). Also you may be able to say” an excess of omega 6s is inflammatory” but we can’t reduce whole foods to nutrients in a vacuum like that. And peanuts contain a wide range of other beneficial anti inflammatory compounds which is why I think we want to avoid demonizing them based on one compound they contain of many.
My goal was to prevent unnecessary food fear around a generally nutritious food (hence my comment that it’s not UNIVERSALLY inflammatory) but yes of course everyone will have different experiences with different foods.
I wonder if she is more reacting to the vegetable oils used to process peanut butter. I have found that I love all natural peanut butter but vegetable oil and some other oils give me stomach problems. Just a thought.
This reminds me of how people talk about wheat. Absolutely vilify it meanwhile it's my safest food when having digestive issues hands down.
I'm glad you're clarifying but still she said it made her inflamed and never claimed it did that to everyone so i don't know why you needed to say that
@@rainbow_gutz this!
This is a really long way to say: I misunderstood what she said because I got triggered and jumped to conclusions. It's OK, you're human but the justifying makes it even sillier
“Healthy eating isn’t about what you eat in a particular day, or particular meal, but rather the patterns over time “. I think I’m going to get that tattooed on my body and hire a skywriter
😂 I’m so glad that was helpful!
I think it would be really cool to do a video on nutrition tips that could be used when people are really struggling due to grief, mental illness, etc. What are ways to add nutrition into someone’s diet when just the task of preparing anything feels daunting
👌omg!yessss
I will put this on my list to discuss!
I would love this as well
Yes! Have extreme executive dysfunction and anxiety and the changes that covid brought on have really messed up my lifestyle and eating overall. I've lost about 70lbs and I either forget I have food or the thought is overwhelming. This would be great
Oh my goodness, this is a great idea. I went through a terrible break up about 10 years ago and ended up losing some weight in an unhealthy way, because I was struggling so much that I barely ate. I know others who have experienced this, too.
I don't understand why people avoid saying "when I'm on my period"... Shark week, that time of the month, aunt Flo, etc. sound way more awkward to me.
Exactly!!! What’s wrong with saying periods😂 it’s natural and not a secret or anything!!!
Sadly women are being tought to be ashamed of our natural body reactions
@@meganoreo1839 yes, but whispering about it while grimacing and using code names makes it even worse.
@@mayastoyanovawarner7997 for sure! I wish people stopped censoring it...
@@meganoreo1839 me too
I’m not sure if you’ve already done this but i would love if you did a video or series on how to heal your relationship with food
There's a whole playlist on her channel on intuitive eating :)
Yep! Enlightened by Intuitive Eating. Look it up in her playlists
While very "LA" overall, I was pleasantly surprised! I will just say that I thought the idea of needing to avoid sweets to avoid gluten and dairy was very funny to me as a baker with dairy, gluten, and soy allergies!! You can make **almost** everything dairy + gluten free if you are determined enough (so far fully laminated croissants are the only thing that's legitimately escaped me!)
Yes! I'm gluten free. I try and eat less dairy (It murders me during my period) and I don't do added sugars. I've still make, brownies, cookies, pizza and all that without gluten and sugar. I'll still eat dairy though... I just can't cut it out.
Yes that's true!
@@CrownedLily how do you make cookies and brownies without sugar?! I’ve been gluten and dairy free for a few years (but same as you- I can’t actually totally quit dairy!), and recently eliminated sugar from my diet. I’ve been pretty good with it, but oooh I could die for a brownie that doesn’t make me need to recover for days after eating it.
Could you work on that croissant??😂the thing I miss most after being diagnosed with celiac
@@peacechickification I use swerve sweetener in place of sugar. Works for brownies, cookies and cakes. But won't feed yeast - so I use honey in pizza dough.
I didn’t hear that Nina was saying it was universally inflammatory. She said it doesn’t work for me. It’s inflammatory. And I know this for me. Peanut butter give me heart burn. So I understand her
Yes for sure. I discuss this in more detail in the pinned comment on this video
For me, it's raw sunflower nuts. They hate me....heartburn, revisiting them as in urping burping enough to taste them again, and triggers my diverticulitis pains.
Absolutely love how you’re been styling your hair recently!!! Specially in this video you look amazing
Thank you so much!
She didn't say peanuts are inflammatory, she said SHE gets inflammation. Foods have different effects for different people, regardless of research. Good info though.
But peanuts are or I should say can be inflammatory for alot of people. For one they have alot of mold contamination and it's a legume so they aren't digested well. Legumes, beans and nuts and nightshades have protective proteins in them so that bugs and animals don't bother them. Even soaking beans doesn't get rid of all the lectins
@@tiffanyelainestubbsfarrull2204 most people will always have a problem with nuts and sometimes seeds. But cause inflammation regardless of what she wants to believe. Her article that she showed how it doesn’t didn’t tell me anything other than it’s was associated. But she should know correlation doesn’t = causation. She’s calling it “food fear” when it’s more “food awareness”. Lectins are a known inflammatory
For sure. I wrote about this in more detailed in the pinned comment on this video
I think Nina was just saying that the peanuts cause her a small reaction, not that they are inflammatory to everyone. I love all types of nuts and think peanuts are great 👍
Thanks for mentioning that
For sure. Please refer to my pinned comment on this video where I go into more detail about this topic
I thought peanuts are a legume.
@@manuelajager8517 You're right, they are legumes. When they're not boiled/roasted, they are green and taste just like a legume. I've had it raw, they actually taste good.
Nina has a pretty normal diet in my books. I also don’t eat gluten because I find I feel better and have more energy when I don’t. I also don’t eat dairy much as I find it’s better for my skin. Whilst food freedom is important, some people choose to not eat foods because it feels better for them that way. Whilst demonising foods for all is bad, it is also bad to demonise those who find better health in choosing to eat this way.
Unfortunately almost no fishing is sustainable or accessable with the current state of the world's oceans. Seaspiracy is just a documentary with it's own flaws but that doesn't dismiss heaps of scientific evidence of lack of sustainability. If you are interested in learning about the sustainability of the fishing industry seek information from a scientist in the field...not a dietitian. No hate just saying.
I absolute agree with your second to last sentence. Just wondering what about fresh water fish?
I wish I could like this comment 50 times. I think people are so biased bcoz they want to keep eating seafood/meat without the inconvenience of feeling guilty and so they spread this misinfo
@@sikrijo Very dependent on what country you're from and what species you're eating. If you're eating an invasive freshwater fish that's probably good, or a fish from a multi-trophic aquaculture system (eg fish from rice paddies) that is often also fine. However most of the sustainable freshwater species are going to be carp or catfish so are less appetising for Western consumers.
@@sikrijo In addition to what Fenella Deans said, freshwater bodies have significantly less global coverage compared to the world's oceans so if we were to shift towards freshwater species overfishing would occur much more quickly. However, due to the increased ability to regulate fishing of inland water bodies this is less likely in countries with proper regulations. The other concern is pollution and runoff, many of our lakes and rivers which were previously used for aquaculture were fished to depletion and do not meet water quality standards which make these organisms safe for consumption. This is most evident in the U.S. with regards to the history of the freshwater shellfish industry.
Yep! I found the oceanology episode of ologies very interesting. Basically farmed or wild caught fish…both really not great.
Hi Abbey - just curious what your thoughts are on Built Bar using the phrase “zero guilt” on their packaging? I know you have said in previous videos (including in the title of this particular video) that there are no “guilty” or “bad” foods. I personally think that’s a dangerous narrative to have with food, and interesting that you’d accept a sponsorship from a company who uses these phrases so prominently in their marketing and packaging. Thanks - I really like your videos, they’re so informative! Xx
Money probably.
Of course she didn't reply
My therapist made me stop drinking coffee ): apparently I'm really sensitive to stimulants.. After I cut it out it seriously reduced the severity of my anxiety and depression. But I still miss it. 😂
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Decaf! I’m in the same boat. I’m much better off without caffeine, but I could never give up coffee entirely. Fuck everyone who hates on decaf- they’ve never been given the decision of decaf or nothing.
@@peacechickification same here. It’s decaf for me now.
Same! I keep mini cans of coke on hand for when I have migraines but other than that I drink decaf only. I cried when I realized they weren't making caffeine free Coke anymore. I hope it'll come back eventually.
Right there with ya, friend. I have terrrrrrible panicky symptoms if I drink caffeinated coffee. I even cut back on my caffeinated tea intake. I rely heavily on fruits throughout the day, and short outdoor walks to boost my energy.
When I’m starting to “crash,” I know it’s time for an apple and a 10 min walk, and it’s harddddd to drag myself to do it sometimes, but it works.
Please do the Catherine Zeta Jones one. Such a breath of fresh air! I bet you'll smile throu the whole video 😁 #teamdessert
On my list!
That video made me so hungry, yum! Can't wait to see Abbey review it!
Glad to hear it! I think of you when I watch these. Catherine was pretty healthy it seemed to this lay person
Yes definitely I loved this ones
Ya I enjoyed watching Catherine’s food diary too..Wholesome delicious meals without deprivation..
I can´t agree with you on this one. This is the first celebrity what I eat in a day that looks like a normal person´s diet, plus I love Nina and her vibe is so fresh
From now on I will refer to that horrible time of the month as "shark week." Thank you, Abbey! 😂
I even send a picture of a shark to my honey to let him know some months ;) 😂
😂❤️
Speaking of smart sweets I did exactly that. I forgot how much fiber they had and ate the entire bag while studying throughout the day. You think as a dietetic student I would have realized the consequences but I eat plant based and get a lot of fiber naturally so I thought nothing of it. Until I had to run errands and let’s say my body did not approve of the high fiber lol
Oh no!
Honestly Nina's diet is the closest to mine from this series(minus the no fish part).
Interesting!
Same here
Me too!
Same here! I am a Canadian with Eastern European background like Nina who feels similarly impacted by gluten, dairy, peanuts, and the not-stated-but-implied sugar (I love fish, though!). This looks like a pretty good spread to me, though I would probably need a bigger lunch with some more protein, as Abbey suggests.
I commented this before, but Julianne Hough next! You’ll roll your eyes so hard at her Harpers Bazaar.
Coming soon!
i completely agree, i watched hers when it came out and she had the most unrealistic diet
“I’m thinking about going vegan” HELL YES GIRL! 👏🏻🎉
😊👍
@@AbbeysKitchen have fun with all of the inflammation
@@aliyaanwald6149 You too
@@helenebean6746 how?
@LaDy sKiTtLeZ who said vegetarians are healthier ??
When I was on my orthorexia I didn’t eat corn because “it’s an inflammatory grain”. Lol.
Maybe she means that peanut gives her inflammation because it gives her heartburn. I love peanuts but I can’t even eat a pbj sandwiches because of the heartburn it gives me 😩
You might have developed a sensitivity/allergy to peanuts. Such was the case with me.
Yeah, I was thinking that maybe she means it gives her digestive issues? Because that happens to me, I like peanuts, but even eating a small portion causes indigestion, something that doesn’t happen with almonds or other nuts.
Possibly!
@@lauramolina3337 technically peanuts aren't nuts - they're a legume likes peas or lentils
But, tbh. The industry AT LARGE is in fact unsustainable. There's only small fishers in the industry that do it sustainable... Like sure it doesn't expell much CO2 but if we keep fishing the oceans empty we will also have low O2 lmao
On my list to make an entire video about this topic
Also this dress/Blouse looks sooo beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Cottage core fits you well
@@AbbeysKitchen I absolutely love it too! Where is it from, if you want to share of course?
LOL - “shark week!” I’m dead, Abby! I want some dark beer during “shark week” or maybe a good cocktail or red wine (one that can be chilled)
😂sounds great!
I'm so quickly becoming addicted to these videos. I love binging nutrition information, but like you said in another video, if i'm here, i've likely spent a lot of time researching nutrition only to discover a bunch of contradictory and confusing information. this is true. I feel like you're a place I can come to find information that I can trust is not trying to sell me a fad.
I could never get on the almond butter hype. The taste just doesn’t do it for me so I always stuck with peanut butter. Glad to know it really isn’t bad like so many make it seem!
For sure! I love peanut butter too
I love all nut butters. Peanut butter is delicious, so is macadamia nut butter. I would like to try walnut and pistachio butters.
The smuckers natural one is the BOMB. Hands down the only "natural" pb i go for
@@fayhunter9004 the Santa Cruz peanut butter is also very good.
I like cashew butter 🥴
As someone in sobriety, my go to answer should be team dessert. But I still love a sweet drink at the end of the day. Instead of wine (or whiskey in my case), it's ginger beer, zevia, and/or flavored seltzers
I’m so glad she brought up industrial fishing. Animal ag is horrible in general. I’m sure the efforts of her buddy’s Paul & Ian trying to help the environment will help her explore plant based sooner than later. ☺️
rightt theyre all so wholesome 😌
It is definitely important to talk about!
The farting brussels sprout made my day! 🤣🤣🤣
😂
OHMYGOSH YOU DID IT!!! YOU REALLY DID IT!!!! THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!!! I can't believe this omg thank you 💗
I hope you enjoyed it!
During her time on Vampire Diaries, I used to believe that Nina was dealing with eating disorder. Her prominent collar bone was a huge trigger for me. I'm happy to see, at least now, she seems to have a healthy relationship with food.
I always crave all the donuts during my cycle. My boyfriend always buys me donuts during that time. I have enough discomfort with the fibroids so I am not going to deny myself something that makes me feel some what better even if it is for a moment.
I totally agree! Sounds delicious
Can you review one of Nisha's (Rainbow Plant Life) videos? Maybe the "I ate like a King on just $5 a day" video? I feel like she has a lot of interesting recipes and one of the only vegan YT whose diet I actually would want to adopt 😅. She's not afraid of oil or seasoning.
I love Nisha! Her food is more creative than the typical salad and avocado toast type videos
I'll have a look!
I'm not vegan but I love a lot of her recipes. She uses EVOO, not the whole "oh no oil".
I tried her lunch meal preps. It was so good and kept me full.
Yes, sugar does not need to be synonymous with guilt, but sugar is also not good for your teeth and I get the feeling that it's a bigger concern when saying it's guilt free. I know it is for me :)
Slight correction, Nina is actually bulgarian but she grew up in Canada :)
Sorry about that, thanks for letting me know!
One correction - Dobrev is pronounced Dóbrev, hard R. She’s Bulgarian and so is her last name. Great video as always ✨
“Internet can be unkind”??? Whaaaat you’re beautiful! Gorgeous! You have such dreamy hair😍😍
Crunchy peanut butter is love. And roasted peanuts as munchies are so good
My fave
Absolutely love cashews almonds or macadamia or peanuts love them either plain or honey roasted
I have to have my peanut butter creamy but I agree that peanut butter is far superior to other nuts + seeds butters. And WAY less expensive too.
i have celiac disease and am lactose intolerant and now knowing she eats gluten and dairy free makes me love her even more and seeing someone else eating a similar diet as me just makes me feel good bc i’m not the only one
I'm glad that's helpful for you!
Sounds like she has ibs due to the things that she can’t tolerate and omit
Idk, Ibs is a serious condition. She might just have a sensitive bowel. Some people just can't process certain foods that well.
Possibly!
Omg please do a video on the seafood industry! I'd love to hear your take on that in detail
On my list to discuss this!
Great video! I’ve always like her as an actress. She seems so much more down to earth than some of these of celebrities. Would love to see you review Travis Barkley’s video from Harpers bazaar. Yeah Catherine Zeta Jones her video was great!
Both of these are on my list to review!
Use unsweetened Greek yogurt in your smoothie for protein, I also add blueberries and kale.
Where's the option for team potato chips? Cause I'm salty and crunchy all day.
Love those too!
Thank you for being level headed and rational about Seaspiracy
You are such an inspiration to me abby, I always learn so much and you are also super entertaining. I want to be a dietitian and I hope I can do as much good as you do with spreading correct information.
Aw thank you so much ❤️ I’m so glad!
Thank you for bringing up Seaspiracy! As an Indonesian my country has been demonized from palm oil, fishery and soy gmo (i.e tempe), while the gov are in snail pace reforming the politically corrupt, but the demonization are heavily tinged in xenophobia and racism toward a third world country which the industries are worked by exploited lower income and under nourished workers and fishermens that make less than 1 usd a day.
Thank you for commenting on Seaspiracy! The anti-asian sentiment and the overall "gotcha" journalism style coupled with clever editing really undermined any potential points the documentary might have been trying to make
I'm glad that was helpful!
I disagree with your opinion on the documentary. The bottom line of the messaging in Seaspiracy is that there are too many people on our planet to have sustainable fishing. That’s true whether you believe it had an anti-Asian sentiment or not.
Watching them them slice the fins off the sharks (edited to add the fact they sell this soup for $10k) and send them back in the ocean to drown was enough to make me physically sick and sob and glad to know I am not actively participating in destroying the ocean's ecosystem.
She never said peanuts are universally inflammatory. She said they give HER inflammation. It sounds like she is slightly allergic but doesn’t label it as such
I just found out from watching this Me and Nina actually have a similar diet and have the same eating habits. I’m really grateful for your advice Abbey! It’s really cleared up a lot of things for me like needing to use a bathroom after having a whole bag of smart sweets lol.
Abbey needs to start telling us where her outfits are from!!!!
I will make a note to start doing this!
Ahaha at first i was like wdym she's not known for The Vampire Diaries? But five seconds later there she goes :D The name is pronounced "Doh-bref" btw
Thanks for letting me know!
Bref? Like a toilet bowl sanitizer? No. 😂
It's Doh-brev.
I know her from Degrassi
As the wife of an Alaska Bering Sea Fisherman, I’m quite disappointed by the reaction to that documentary.
Not all fishing industries are like that. Alaska is extremely regulated and tightly controlled based on fish populations in the ocean. It’s extremely hard to get a license or new quota for fishing because it’s so tightly controlled.
The native Alaskan communities in Alaska and the rest of the state are incredibly dependent on this industry for their livelihood. And there is a great deal of care and respect that goes into it.
I would encourage people to still support Alaskan fishing and check to see if your fish is coming from Alaska and if it’s wild caught.
Thankyou Abby for going into this
On the fisheries point - it is probably true that _some_ fish and seafood can be consumed sustainably. However, speaking personally, I do not want to spend ages thinking about the providence of my food or coming up with loads of complex 'allowed'/'not allowed' categories. Life is too short - it is simpler and less hassle to just set broad rules (e.g. 'I don't eat fish').
-
Also, okay...so a selective fish diet is better than a non-selective vegan or vegetarian diet. But that's comparing apples and oranges. If you were to have a selective vegan diet (e.g. cut out higher carbon foods like soya and imported tropical fruit) what then? The issue with farmed fish is that you generally need to grow crops to feed them.
-
Just in general, you can make almost any diet sustainable if you are regimented about cutting out problematic foods (even a carnivore diet, if you ate exclusively roadkill and left-overs). But given that 99% of adherents are not going to do that, it's more illustrative to talk about the diet as a whole.
Interesting, thank you for sharing your perspective on this topic
Props to you Abbey!! I love your videos, people are always looking for a reason to be upset with creators. It’s not hard to scroll past and not watch or comment if they don’t like they way you’re trying to get the message across. If they watched your channel more they would know you speak on common food perceptions as a whole when celebrity brings it up. Not just to bash them. And even if it was for that, it’s because they tend to unknowingly feed toxic misinformation to young individuals who look up to them. (Not necessarily talking about Nina, just in general)
Love you! ❤️
While peanuts aren't inflammatory to most, they are to many. We are all different and the healthiest food in the world can still be inflammatory to someone
Yeah, seemed a little weird for Abbey to just be like “nope she’s wrong” when Nina said “it gives ME inflammation”
Exactly
Absolutely- all foods affect different people differently. But most nutrition professionals will agree that “Inflammation” is an incredibly overused and misused word in wellness communities. It’s absolutely a real thing but often used inappropriately (or to describe poorly understood phenomenon/ catch all symptoms), and I was trying to make a point based on an actual evidence based definition of inflammation
@@AbbeysKitchen the fact that you prefer to rely on what most nutriotionnal professionnals agree on instead of the very real and very valid experience of someone worries me. It's one of the reasons why it's so hard for people, especially women dealing with chronic pain and chronic illnesses to receive adequate care and advice from doctors and nutritionnists. Because you prefer to get up in arms about a word rather than to listen to your client's experience and reality.
i know whwt u mean but inflammation isnt the same thing as bloating. peanuts cause gas for a lot of people and therefore bloating but this does not equate inflammation
Abbey Sharp you are 100% correct on using the term "guilty" or "guilty pleasure" I have no idea why that was always in my brain growing up but it was on TV and media. Now I just say yes I earned to have this snack that I enjoy and it makes me happy I choose once a week some popcorn, a glass of liquor, a sweet, portion bag of chips, ice cream, ect. I feel like because I do well throughout the week why not just enjoy my life and have it! It really has helped me to think in that way I used to be a binge eater and when I had those words in my head that is why I would binge eat I told myself Ok I will just have my guilty food or snack and then before I knew it the entire cartoon or bag of something was gone! I am so glad that my family encouraged to help me, I met a nutritionist who is awesome, and I know how to look at food in a healthier way! It is so important to also know your own body and listen to the signals! Thanks for the video I love all your suggestions xoxoxo
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad my videos are helpful for you 😊
@@AbbeysKitchen I look forward to them so much I giggle when I see I get a new one my son who is 6 years old says OH mommy is watching her friend Abbey Sharp time I let you watch her haha :) He likes to join in and says mommy make some of her food when we pick some of your videos with the food you make :)
Would totally love to see a video just about seafood! I rarely eat seafood and when I do I try to buy companies that very obviously engage in sustainable practices. (e.g. Wild Planet)
On my list to do this!
Please do Chris Bosh! His was so enjoyable to watch. Would be an easy day at the office for you!
I’ll have a look!
As someone with pcos I do try to keep sugar on the low side and my favorite morning granola is having a bowl of mostly grape nuts (one of my favorite cereals) with a bit of my favorite granola on top (my current favorite is this pumpkin seed and flaxseed one from TJs but I also like chocolate and dried cherry granolas) using about a 3:1 ratio.
Me listening to the coffee disclaimer while drinking my iced coffee with sugar even though I'm a type 2 diabetic because I've never been able to stand iced coffee without it and it's in the 90sF: That's right lady, keep moving...
😂
I would love some videos breaking down some of these documentaries out there. The amount of times I hear people change their diets / lifestyle because they watched one or more of these documentaries without digging deeper into the information.
Yes me too I’ve gotten weary of them
I will put it on my list to discuss these!
"A brussel sprout could probably
fart on cereal 🥦💨🥣...."(no brussel sprout emoji so used broccoli instead)🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT! You do not know how desperately I needed that laugh today! So TY TY TY!!!
I wish she had more bulgarian influence in her diet, cause that food ist yum! Also dev #teamdessert
That would be interesting to watch!
Rebecca Leigh next!!!! In the meantime, can’t wait to grab a snack and watch 😁😁😁
On my list!
Loved this video as usual Abbey, and I saw your pinned comment about the peanut butter! It has always been my FAVOURITE food, however I only recently started to get severe and uncomfortable bloating/cramping/gas whenever I have even a tiny bit. So I now just have almond butter/cashew/sunflower, but hoping I can reintroduce at some point!
I love how you protect your children from the cameras. Good on you
As a marine biologist I would say it is a bit misinformed to say that small scale fishing in general is not where the problem lies as these small artisan fisheries in developing countries are mostly unrelated leading to inaccurate estimations on how many fish are caught.
There is definitely sustainable methods of fishing and it will take reforming most of the industry to do so but there is change happening.
People putting pressure on fisheries and aquaculture to change their practices is the only way we will see change. Even more importantly holding our governments accountable for better regulation and management is absolutely critical.
Thanks for giving a platform for this important issue Abbey! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your insight. I'm glad that portion of the video was helpful!
PLEASE talk more about how to choose the most sustainable fish/meat/protein sources!
On my list to do this!
"A brussel sprout could basically fart on this cereal. . ." LOL!
😂
and you know it WOULD
@@TheHerothief LOL!
I LOVE NINA SM
Would love a video analyzing some of the food documentaries out there such as "the gamechangers" and "seaspiracy" etc
What is your hangup with lemon water in the morning?? I've been doin it for twenty years, and can tell you it's beneficial.
She’s Bulgarian, just moved to Canada when she was little.
Thank you for letting me know!
@@AbbeysKitchen :)
ABBEY.... peanuts are not even a nut... do you really not know this? ❤️ and when it comes to the anti-inflammatory effects of nuts it comes from the omega 3s.. if the ratio of omega 6s to 3s is too high.. that can be quickly lost.. especially if eaten in abundance.. come on Abbey❤️ peanut butter has brutal effects in so many.. your reaction creates shame around this for those that truly suffer
I have a histamine reaction to many nuts, Almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc. makes my mouth burn and itch really bad. Peanuts are the only nut that does not do it to me.
Oh no! I'm glad peanuts work for you though
oh I have that too!! my allergist says it’s bc they’re actually legumes not nuts (but I get judgy looks when I say i’m allergic to nuts and then eat a Reese’s)
@@katemunson1198 food policing in that way is also annoying. We shouldn't have to explain our food intolerances or allergies I'm great detail to people!
Cherries make my mouth itch and I just googled this summer why lol. I eat them by the pound anyway
I thought most peanut butter contains hydrogenated oils(vegetable or canola oil)which causes inflammation
I’m sorry, but some people are likely to experience flare ups in inflammation (Or gout, like my stepdad) eating some foods, regardless of what science says should happen. Allergies are just as individual, and very common, and I’m sure science would say differently when we are talking general consumption.
For sure. I discuss this topic in more detail in the pinned comment on this video
@@AbbeysKitchen I saw the note, but if someone can’t read it (blind, sight limited or aren’t fluent reading English) then a note doesn’t help them. Just a thought.
When I'm tierd and don't want to deal with having to work around all my food sensitivies I'll watch an Abby video and it makes me happy about food again. 🫐
Aw thank you, I'm so glad!
Me too! I have Celiac, IBS and lactose intolerance (all officially diagnosed by a gastroenterologist) on top off being a high level athlete and sometimes it's just too much. Watching Abbey while eating my lactose free chocolate ice cream is when I feel the best about food.
I would love to see a video breaking down Seaspiracy! Also, 100% team DESSERT!
I stopped fasting cause I have noticed that after many hours with no food I was binging during my first meal. And I was feel disgusting after… also I was watching a time and I was counting hours when I gonna can eat… And I didnt loose weight at all cause of all callories I eaten during my eating window.
I was back to normal eating and BREAKFAST (my fav meal ) and I feel much better. But I understand that for some ppl IF works, we ar all different :)
Thank you for sharing what works for you!
Hey I think Nina just meant that peanuts cause her a mild allergic reaction, not that it's inflammatory for everyone
Yes possibly, thanks for pointing this out!
Team dessert.
I gave up alcohol years ago due to the medication I take and honestly didn’t find it that hard. I like alcohol - the taste and the effects - but I was never like OMG I MISS BOOZE it was fine.
However when I have given up sugar and deserts to see if it helped my health - I really missed them! Chocolate, biscuits, cakes - life is rough without them!
Agree
How many people actually eat seafood from a sustainable small scale fishing?that's the problem.. .
Despite potential problems with this documentary, there is no doubt about our severely depleted oceans and overwhelming issues with how it’s managed the world over. I’m not waiting for any more evidence and I’m erring on the safe side and drastically reduced my seafood consumption years ago (after watching another doc called End of the Line). I have other food options, some communities do not. Also, farmed salmon is terrible for the environment and native stocks. It’s not sustainable, for example it introduces parasites and requires large amounts of antibiotics to survive the close quarters. If eat salmon, it’s wild, and I eat it rarely.
Yeah this was a big red flag for me as well. I went to school and took multiple oceanography and sustainability courses in which professors would not consume fish. Almost no fishing of any kind is sustainable with the current state of the worlds oceans.
I wish this comment is seen by more people. I feel her saying the documentary is riddled with misinformation is a big claim without any evidence. She needs to do a video if she's going to make that big of a statement
Not only that but those small scale fisheries would immediately go depleted if everyone that currently supports large scale industrial fishing switched to that. There are too many people on our planet to ever have a sustainable way of fishing.
You shouldn’t say anything about “guilt free” things when built bar marketing is “guilt free.”
I guess as long as you’re being paid, it’s not an issue. It conflicts with everything that you preach. Built bars are good, but again their marketing tactic is “guilt free” candy. lol.
She often includes this as a caveat/disclaimer, especially in her earlier Built partnership videos. :)
@@ViaCalderwoodMusic Regardless, it’s still contradictory. She criticizes guilt free marketing and says no food is guilty…but promotes a brand that perpetuates food as guilt. I understand she doesn’t agree or believe in this marketing, but it doesn’t change the fact that she has aligned herself with a company that creates fear mongering as a way to sell their bars.
So true, it’s kind of frustrating. I understand everyone’s gotta pay the bills but aren’t there other brands to partner with lol
@@phillyst4668 Exactly, and I wouldn’t give this criticism if she stopped preaching her stance on guilt free. I just don’t like the contradiction and her need to make it seem like she’s above that mentality when she promotes built bars for several minutes on almost every video
she does.
takeaway: rosemary and acid based marinades prevent carcinogens when grilling
I love all nut butters but peanut butter will always be my holy grail. Also - does the charring thing apply to everything else like veggies, tofu, etc or just meat?
Black coffee is actually good for people with liver disease. Enjoy!
Thank you for pointing out the holes, stereotyes and racism in Seaspiracy!! 🙏🏻 People treat it like it’s the holy non-changeable truth while its riddled with misinformation🤦🏽♀️
I'm glad that was helpful!
It was not at all riddled with misinformation. The bottom line is that there are too many human beings on our planet to ever have a sustainable way of fishing. The only people upset with the documentary are those that want to turn a blind eye to their own dietary decisions and the consequences those decisions have on our planet.
I am sure team dessert depending on what I like. My dessert favorite is not really dessert but is actually butter mixed in with a nut butter and a bit of chocolate powder spread on a GF flat bread that I make myself. I add a sprinkle of some coconut sugar or a dash of maple syrup into the nut butter and butter spread and yes I love it!
Apparently peanuts are high in Omega 6, hence the concern for inflammation.
Interesting
@George112 Oop!
Abbey can you review the low protein blue zone diet??? Its a place in Italy that has one of the highest concentrations of people who reach the age of 100 in the world. From Zac Efron's Netflix show!
I'll have a look at that!
What?? The internet says abby looks bad??? She's so pretty!!!!
I've been waiting for this one LOL
I hope you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your videos it has helped me put together better meals with the most nutritional value I can manage lol . I have 2 kids( 5,2) so watching anything has to be done when they are not around lol its 534 am and just finished the video before my workout. I would also like to day that you what I eat in a day was super relatable especially when you emphasized the 2nd cup of coffee without anyone calling on you or being tugged on or crying lol I felt that 😅 . Have a beautiful day and stay safe,happy, healthy.
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad my videos are helpful for you 😊
Oh I would be team dessert hands down. Love the videos Abbey!
So glad!
I love how you call that time of the month Shark week. It's so true! I'm feeling it right now and you brightened my day/week by saying this!
Thank you, I'm so glad!
When it comes to sustainability, I'm lucky that I grew up almost exclusively on fish that was harvested as a part of recreational fishing, including catching my own. Unfortunately it can be difficult to find extremely local seafood (aka crappie from my grandparent's backyard) at a supermarket and what is there is so poorly labelled it's even harder to make good choices. It would be nice if there was a way to connect local sport and recreational fishers with folks who might want some of their excess.
That's great! I definitely agree
