Thanks for all your advice. I'm trying to eat more whole foods, but this guy's You Tube channel keeps suggesting that we minimise all the foods that we're constantly being told are good for us, because of oxalates. It's scaring me to be honest. I'd be grateful to know what you think about this please. Here's one of his videos th-cam.com/video/bjOpzAiAkZw/w-d-xo.html
That's excellent recipes and ideas. I love food myself as a foodie even I could actually follow a healthy diet like that. It's always been more about edition than subtraction to a healthy lifestyle. I always said like everybody else if you add more good stuff to your diet. It will crowd out most of the bad. The goal is to motivate yourself to do stuff for yourself and be healthy. And enjoy life indulge in moderation or gradually Keep certain things in your diet you like and eat 80% healthy. And 20% of indulgent foods. But honestly some of those foods they call it. Golden foods are actually not all that bad for our body unless they're eating an access in the processed the wrong way. But like you said the color guide always helps with a healthy balanced diet. It really isn't as hard as we think to get fruits and vegetables in our diet smoothies and salads would do more than half a serving in a day.
Can you tell us where the Digestive system is in humans for fermenting these man made plants ? I can't seem to find it's location I only found the Acidic stomach and gallbladder. which seems to only be suitable for consuming meat and saturated animal fat...
To all the haters, this woman is in ideal shape, she exercises consistently and truly and she is sharing what SHE eats in a day using her expertise. A picture is worth a thousand words…she looks super fabulous and healthy and her feeding schedule is ideal for an older woman experiencing lower hormones but that is in excellent shape. This is not for the MOST of y’all diabetics or people with an AC1 over 6 and/or overweight people. Those of y’all have to get healthy first by fasting and food limiting and then come around to a video like this designed for healthy people to maintain optimal health.
This applies to the Haterz… if you’re not a Hater, then this would not apply…. For the record, an example of a hater is an unhealthy person visiting this site,of a healthy person, and talking smack about the methodology…
I love this! I eat almost everything she eats and I love vegetables and smoothies. My problem is stress munching, or eating later hours to stay awake longer. I'm 59 and I just bought a treadmill and I'm determined that, God willing, I will be healthier going into my 60's than ever before in my life!
You are THE BEST teacher! I'm 49 and have been searching for nutritional advice that I can understand for many years. We all know that losing weight after age 40 is more challenging, but knowledge is power. You introduced me to creatine and what an absolute game-changer! I had no idea how important creatine is. My muscles feel stronger already! You're a lifesaver. Thank you so much for making these videos. I feel like I am going to go into this next half of my life really strong and well-prepared.
I ate like this for years, 1990-2003 (IBS and Celiac), until I had an athletic injury and saw a dietitian to help me recover , when i told her how i ate as JJ describes in this video, she told me i cant sustain myself on this kind of diet , my health would be in jeopardy. That said; i was in shock and i got lost in trying every fad diet. Im going back to this eating life style it is the best. 20 lbs to lose now and i want my muscles back on top. This confirms for me that dietitian was so wrong. Glad i found you JJ Virgin. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes.
This is the most ridiculous advice!! YOu do not need to drink as much as she suggests! YOu should only drink when you are thirsty!!! Her carbs are all wrong!!!
I love hearing about the healthy choices we should be making. But not everyone can eat during the hours that you are talking about. The regular person is on their way to the office at 7:30 to 8:00 am. And before that they are getting ready for work. So they can’t wait a few hours for their body to prepare for a meal. By the time it’s prepared , it’s time to drive to work. But I really appreciate all the good information. It gives me more incentive to do better. 🌷
we actually don’t need to eat first thing in the morning… I used to not eat in morning until 10 AM at work. I am retired now and I fast from 6 PM till 10 AM. I think we are all capable of stretching our limits a bit and revamping our routines
Can you add links to the products you mentioned? I am always having to go on a search and some items like those drinks at the end I didn't catch. Great info and totally doable otherwise! Thanks for the video!
My sister turned me on to her book The Virgin Diet. I lost the weight and as a huge added bonus got rid of my psoriasis. It was crazy. She knows her stuff.

This was fantastic information! Could you possibly list or screenshot all the liquids you mentioned at the end as well as the milk in the smoothie?Thanks so much.
Wow what a great video. I’m a 46 year old woman working to improve my nutrition and fitness while managing perimenopause. Thanks 🙏🏾 for explaining this
I wake up at 1:45 am I drink water when I wake up. Then I have water with lemon or a turmeric tea. I’ll have a spoon full of extra olive oil or black seed oil. I start work at 4 am. There time I don’t eat until 12 or 1 pm. Other days I’ll make breakfast and eat it around 8:30-9 am. But not always. I know I need to just have more veggies and I need to meal prep so when I get out of work I can eat healthier. I really enjoy your videos learning a lot from you. Thank you. 🙏🏼
What a Great Teacher and she practices what she preaches! What I love about her as well. She is OPEN to learning new things and sharing that new knowledge! Keep sharing JJ!! 🎉🎉🎉
I make this shake in my nutribullet every morning but I use a no sugar almond milk and greens, kale or spinach/kale mix or chard... sometimes those cherries and sometimes berries, frozen no sugar and I add dry oatmeal
I love this. Very practical. I would leave out dairy completely especially if perimenopausal or menopausal. Blood sugar: the order yiu eat your food matters: veges (cruciferous and dark green or fermented), protein (lamb, lentils, fish) and then starches/carbs in moderation and mostky for lunch.
I love it how a lot of people, including this woman tell you to eat two hours to three hours after you wake up. What about people who have to work? How can you have breakfast at 8:30 or nine when most people have to be at work by eight? This schedule is obviously for those who stay home or have a very flexible job.
I've been watching your videos, and one of the best things I have learned from you is to use tracking of my food. Although I considered myself a clean eater, my servings were out of control lol I think I was literally consuming a cup of olive oil a day, and at least a pound of nuts. Lol 😂😫🤦🏼♀️. an app to track my macros, I am retraining myself to eat the same healthier choices, but on a much smaller scale. Thank you!
Thank you! I will be 47yrs old next month. I was overweight and have lost 65lb, but I have been on a plateau the last few months. I only have 30lb to go. I lost initial weight by going vegan; which helped me get my thyroid under control. However, I have started weight training about a month ago. Your advice about eating more protein and calories has helped! I had never 'tracked' until I watched your videos. I was only getting about 40--50gr of protein and only about 940 calories a day. That wasn't on purpose it's just that I get full on smaller portions than most vegans. I was a bad vegan; not a huge fan of beans and I am uncertain about soy because of thyroid issues; bummer. That knocked out a major protein source. So, I started eating wild caught salmon and other fish; as long as it is kosher and wild caught. I also added back in organic free range hormone and antibiotic free chicken as well this week. Eventually, I will try grass fed beef. The extra protein and calories have helped me so much! I now get approximately 150 grams a day; goal weight is 145lb with lean muscle mass. I know the BMI will say I need to be 135lb, but I am an endomorph and do not have delicate bones. Again, thank you!
Im so happy I found your channel!!! I just finished listening to a podcast you were on. I’m 26 years old and I gained a lot of weight while I was on birth control & also bad eating habits, working nights & not getting enough rest. I’ve lost 20 pounds so far and still need to lose another 30 to be at a healthy weight. I’ve been building muscle and doing my cardio. I hit a plateau recently so I’m going back to the drawing board . I want to increase my protein intake because that seems to be the common denominator when I hear people talk about getting fit. I’m excited for this new era of my weight loss journey. Thank you for sharing your tips ❤
That's fantastic to hear that you found my channel and enjoyed the podcast! Congratulations on your weight loss progress; you're doing great! Hitting a plateau is normal, and adjusting your protein intake is a good idea. Remember to focus on balanced nutrition and continue staying active to reach your goal of a healthy weight. Keep going, and you'll get there!
Love all this! I enjoy my homemade sourdough, wheat and zucchini bread as much as anything, so there you have it😊. 5'6, 124 lbs, def need more muscle, so that's my biggest goal. But admit I love love my homemade bread so much!
Wow, I sure admire you! I, too, just had my 60th and have been looking for someone like you on health, fitness videos. Alas, I’ve found you! I mentioned in another comment I’ve just had my left hip replaced, about to have my right hip replacement (sports, what are you gonna do?) and I want to start strength training! I’m your devoted groupee now, thanks! 😁🙏
Awesome,Informative and Helpful however, the only inputs I'll add is if your similar to me financially and cannot always afford everything organic and perfectly grown so don't allow this barrier to discourage us let's continue to do the best we can it matters too for positive health and fat management outcomes 😊
I agree!! I can't afford organic but that doesn't mean "oh well, I may as well have that burger and fries!" Instead I eat healthfully, doing the best with the resources I have, knowing my efforts will be blessed.
I love your videos! Could you do similar videos for women who've had children over 40? What should our approach be to health and weight loss. When you're Over forty and breastfeeding or hormones are just getting back to normal
@AnavonRebeur 3 Tbsp of hemp seeds have over 9g of protein. 3 Tbsp of flax seeds have over 6 g an egg has 6 g. 10 years vegan, and I am the healthiest 56 year old I know.
Great information! What would you suggest for someone who doesn't tolerate raw vegetables well? I love salads, but my gut does not. Thanks for all this great info!
In my smoothie, I freeze the veggies and fruits instead of using ice. Broccoli, spinach, red cabbage, kale, celery, carrots, arugula, and always avocados and nuts, lemons with the rinds, whatever you got. Freeze it before it goes bad so you waste nothing! I also like coconut oil in the smoothies too.
You mention eating during the normal circadian rhythm. I’m a night shifter. My earring times change with my schedule. What would you recommend for me? I work 3-4 12 hour night shifts weekly. Thanks! So glad I found you.
I worked 12 hour shifts for years days/ nights and found what worked best for me, was to keep my eating times the same. After a night shift. I’d come home and have breakfast before sleeping. Then I’d have a proper dinner with my family at 5:30-6 before going back for another night shift. I drank water and herbal teas all night and avoided all the snacks night shifters tend to eat. My body did not need fuel to get through the night as I had more than enough from dinner. On my “dinner break” I would nap or meditate. My day shift eating would be the same. Breakfast before work or take with me for morning coffee break. Dinner either at home after shift, or packed and had on my dinner break. Not changing my eating times gave me structure to get nutrition and say “no” to all the “poor me I’m working nights food!!” This helped me from gaining weight and curbed my cravings. Again, this is what worked for me. Good luck on your journey.🙏🏼
Hi Annette, you can find the All in One Protein Shake JJ used here: store.jjvirgin.com/products/chocolate-paleo-inspired-all-in-1-shake-30-serving and The Extra Fiber she used here: store.jjvirgin.com/products/extra-fiber . Cacao Calm is found here: livingratio.com/pages/cacao-calm-pp Cheers!
(Melanie here) I am loving your videos. I just starting watching and am tracking my protein, carbs, and fiber daily to see where to make adjustments. You mentioned the amount to shoot for every day but I wondered if the amount of carbs is net carbs? If so, I need to fiber that out for my options. For example, I found some keto wraps that have 14g carbs but have 10g fiber.
Too many people won’t cook. It’s all perception. I enjoy putting together a healthy meal esp in the summer when I get a lot of my veggies from my garden...
I love these videos! So informative, with a serving of common sense! My one question is, how do you get all your protein in if you are an intermittent faster?
Thank you so much for this video! I am a breast cancer survivor and I am always looking for ways to change my diet and lifestyle. This video is a great help. ❤️
I am learning so much from you. I have never been very fond of red meat and I only buy the organic grass fed beef, that is 94% lean, when I have bought it. However, I recently had to have my gall bladder removed and am a bit fearful of red meat, even lean red meat. Do you have thoughts on this? What are your thoughts about using Stevia for a sweetener? Thank you.🌼
Thank you for your knowledge. Question for you, the salad that you’ve made for lunch is exactly what I eat for lunch, the problem is that 1 hour later I am very hungry. Any idea why? My blood sugar is normal. Thank you again.
Hello, thank you for your question - please see our official response on erythritol here: jjvirgin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Erythritol-Response-March-2023.pdf
@@jjvirginvideosthis article was so helpful because I had just gone to the grocery store and sadly rejected monk fruit sweetener, it’s enlightening to know about the major limitations of the study 😊
Thank you for this thorough video on what to eat daily. I'm in the smoothy part of your video and wonder if there is new research that says seed and nut milks are bad for us? This is what I have been hearing lately. It's so difficult to know what is truly good for us with all the conflicting information. Also, I was diagnosed with hormone positive breast cancer in December of '21. So I try to stay away from chicken because of the hormones. Even clean chicken. Am I correct in believing that the hormones that naturally occur in a chicken (as well as other fish and meats/pork) can affect negatively my hormones? Thank you for the feedback.
Hi there! Yes, some meats can have hormones, especially from factory-farmed animals with added hormones and antibiotics. Opting for organic, pasture-raised options can help. But if you’re unsure, plant-based proteins are a great alternative. It’s all about what feels best for you and supports your health. Keep trusting your body-you’re doing great! -Team JJ
I’ve been following you for years!!! I was surprised you didn’t put spinach in your smoothie. Is there a reason? I have hypothyroid line you, so wasn’t sure this was oxalate related. Thank you!
Yes pls! We need to see some more recipes 🎃💕 I’m gonna give the cbd oil a try for the anxiety’s 😂🤪, does that pre-workouts give you the shakes or affect your anxiety hun?
Hi JJ I just subbed I'm a bariatric patient RNY 150 pounds down I'd like to lose another 20 pounds. I'm wondering if uou might do a video for us WLS folks I'm gluten free the only dairy I can tolerate is cheese. I used to love ghe dark choc but any dairy sets my psoriasis nuts. I can't believe you are anywhere near 60 years old girl I'd have said 45 at most you look fabulous ❤
This all makes sense. In fact, in the Essene Gospel of Peace...one of the books of the Bible, The Lord tells us to not eat until noon & then again b4 the sun goes down around 6pm. And this, what we are learning from JJ is why.😊
Dear JJ, i love your videos! I have a lot of trouble applying it to me. I'm 80 years old with bone on bone hip, weak heart, (3 heartaches )and poor balance. If I'm going any distance I use a wheelchair. Walk around the house with a walker. With my activity how much should I eat. Protein, vegetables, fat and a little carbs. Oh yes I'm diabetic also.
This is awesome, thanks for breaking it down, as I was not sure about how to put that amount of protein into 2 meals in my day. By the way, impressed arm muscles, gorgeous lines show your workout effects 💪
I work 7am to 6pm and do my workout/walk when i get home. Usually done by 7:45 or 8:00. I don't want to eat a heavy meal when I'm done because I'm usually in the bed by 8:45 or 9:00. I can't workout in the morning! 🙃 Can i just eat a salad or yogurt or cereal?
Hi thank you for all your great work 🙏🏻 but honestly I’m doing everything you said from eating healthy to exercising to walking to supplements, but my body is so stubborn and doesn’t want to let go of the fat any additional advice thank you 🙏🏻
Fastest way to lose excess body fat is a zero-carb diet for 90 days. I lost 30lbs in 90 days doing that. Now that I lost all the extra fat, I added back some veggies into my diet. I still keep my daily carbs below 20 total grams per day. I'm lean and full of energy now and can play with my kid without getting exhausted. Eating carbs = getting fat. Eating fat = getting thin. Look up Dr. Ken Berry, Nutrition with Judy, Niesha, and other zero-carb influencers.
@@Hertz2laugh I came here to say exactly this! I took my 90 days of no carbs into a year and a half so far and do not plan on ever buying/cooking vegetables at home again.
Great video. I would add eat what feels right. Example, I am not eating Tomatoes, . No desire and contain lectins. Just saying. Chicken is not great for me. I substitute organic turkey. Whatever I. Doing my weight is good and has been long time. I do eat main meal mid day and eat lighter for dinner. I live alone so keep my meals simple and healthy.
Thank you for sharing this information I've have being diagnosed with pre-dibitas and don't know what to eat, I do have a sweet tooth so it's hard I make porridge bread healthier option because I know bread had carbs that turn into Suger any suggestions I would be greatful greetings from dublin ireland Patricia 🇮🇪
This is really great information thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! I’m 54 will be 55 next month ! I’m always extremely tired throughout the day possibly because I’m not sleeping well at night but I’m afraid if I eat this much I’ll gain weight. I’m already gaining weight around my stomach, it’s awful! I crave sweets like crazy! I’m going to do your plan! Hoping to have more energy!!
8:49 I always eat before otherwise I’m hungry! I’m lean with muscle and hungry a lot! We are all different. Some off us cannot handle certain foods, caffeine, long windows of “fasting” so each to their own. Listen to your body.

I now get approximately 150 grams a day; goal weight is 145lb with lean muscle mass. I know the BMI will say I need to be 135lb, but I am an endomorph and do not have delicate bones. Again, thank you!
Im so happy I found your channel!!! I just finished listening to a podcast you were on.
I’m 26 years old and I gained a lot of weight while I was on birth control & also bad eating habits, working nights & not getting enough rest. I’ve lost 20 pounds so far and still need to lose another 30 to be at a healthy weight. I’ve been building muscle and doing my cardio. I hit a plateau recently so I’m going back to the drawing board . I want to increase my protein intake because that seems to be the common denominator when I hear people talk about getting fit. I’m excited for this new era of my weight loss journey. Thank you for sharing your tips ❤
That's fantastic to hear that you found my channel and enjoyed the podcast! Congratulations on your weight loss progress; you're doing great! Hitting a plateau is normal, and adjusting your protein intake is a good idea. Remember to focus on balanced nutrition and continue staying active to reach your goal of a healthy weight. Keep going, and you'll get there!
You give the best health information. Thank you.
We're glad to hear that, thanks! -Team JJ
Love all this! I enjoy my homemade sourdough, wheat and zucchini bread as much as anything, so there you have it😊. 5'6, 124 lbs, def need more muscle, so that's my biggest goal. But admit I love love my homemade bread so much!
Do you make it in a bread machine?
Wow, I sure admire you! I, too, just had my 60th and have been looking for someone like you on health, fitness videos. Alas, I’ve found you! I mentioned in another comment I’ve just had my left hip replaced, about to have my right hip replacement (sports, what are you gonna do?) and I want to start strength training! I’m your devoted groupee now, thanks! 😁🙏
Awesome,Informative and Helpful however, the only inputs I'll add is if your similar to me financially and cannot always afford everything organic and perfectly grown so don't allow this barrier to discourage us let's continue to do the best we can it matters too for positive health and fat management outcomes 😊
I agree!! I can't afford organic but that doesn't mean "oh well, I may as well have that burger and fries!" Instead I eat healthfully, doing the best with the resources I have, knowing my efforts will be blessed.
Thank you for adding, Andrea.
@@nicolehenderson3884make sense
I love your videos! Could you do similar videos for women who've had children over 40? What should our approach be to health and weight loss. When you're Over forty and breastfeeding or hormones are just getting back to normal
I am vegan but i got some great tips from this video!! Thanks! I love the flaxmilk idea too add protien to my smoothies.
Eggs have protein, not seeds
@AnavonRebeur 3 Tbsp of hemp seeds have over 9g of protein. 3 Tbsp of flax seeds have over 6 g an egg has 6 g. 10 years vegan, and I am the healthiest 56 year old I know.
@@lisasanders8704 Thank you!
Great information! What would you suggest for someone who doesn't tolerate raw vegetables well? I love salads, but my gut does not. Thanks for all this great info!
Omg I love this video so much!
Thank You for sharing this with all of us,
I am Subscribed !
Great! thank you so much!
In my smoothie, I freeze the veggies and fruits instead of using ice. Broccoli, spinach, red cabbage, kale, celery, carrots, arugula, and always avocados and nuts, lemons with the rinds, whatever you got. Freeze it before it goes bad so you waste nothing! I also like coconut oil in the smoothies too.
I just found your channel and I am thrilled!! So informative!! ❤❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
I've learned so much from your video, and the explanations are so helpful... thank you!
You mention eating during the normal circadian rhythm. I’m a night shifter. My earring times change with my schedule. What would you recommend for me? I work 3-4 12 hour night shifts weekly. Thanks! So glad I found you.
I worked 12 hour shifts for years days/ nights and found what worked best for me, was to keep my eating times the same. After a night shift. I’d come home and have breakfast before sleeping. Then I’d have a proper dinner with my family at 5:30-6 before going back for another night shift. I drank water and herbal teas all night and avoided all the snacks night shifters tend to eat. My body did not need fuel to get through the night as I had more than enough from dinner. On my “dinner break” I would nap or meditate. My day shift eating would be the same. Breakfast before work or take with me for morning coffee break. Dinner either at home after shift, or packed and had on my dinner break. Not changing my eating times gave me structure to get nutrition and say “no” to all the “poor me I’m working nights food!!” This helped me from gaining weight and curbed my cravings. Again, this is what worked for me. Good luck on your journey.🙏🏼
Where do you get cacao calm? Sounds yummy . Just finished the mudwtr drink with 4 mushrooms and chai .. also yummy !
I have SIBO . Also I cannot eat tomatoes, onions , broccoli, cabbage, garlic Brussels sprouts too acidic. Dairy also is not my friend☹️
What I like about her is the simple way of explaining real science to help us have better habits
Where do you buy the wellness powders your using in this video and the cacao calm?
Hi Annette, you can find the All in One Protein Shake JJ used here: store.jjvirgin.com/products/chocolate-paleo-inspired-all-in-1-shake-30-serving and The Extra Fiber she used here: store.jjvirgin.com/products/extra-fiber . Cacao Calm is found here: livingratio.com/pages/cacao-calm-pp Cheers!
(Melanie here) I am loving your videos. I just starting watching and am tracking my protein, carbs, and fiber daily to see where to make adjustments. You mentioned the amount to shoot for every day but I wondered if the amount of carbs is net carbs? If so, I need to fiber that out for my options. For example, I found some keto wraps that have 14g carbs but have 10g fiber.
Too many people won’t cook. It’s all perception. I enjoy putting together a healthy meal esp in the summer when I get a lot of my veggies from my garden...
Love how you break things down.
Thank you so much for sharing and helping us to be mindful about healthy eating, I appreciate you very much!
We're happy to hear that @sandychatergoon7286 Thank you!
-Team JJ
I love these videos! So informative, with a serving of common sense!
My one question is, how do you get all your protein in if you are an intermittent faster?
Thank you so much for this video! I am a breast cancer survivor and I am always looking for ways to change my diet and lifestyle. This video is a great help. ❤️
I am so grateful to hear that my video has been of use to you. I hope that it continues to be a source of guidance and encouragement!
Really inspirational motivating honey thanks ! We need your spirit and energy .your arms ...goals.
So thorough & well-explained! Thank you for making this easy!
Glad it was helpful!
I am learning so much from you. I have never been very fond of red meat and I only buy the organic grass fed beef, that is 94% lean, when I have bought it. However, I recently had to have my gall bladder removed and am a bit fearful of red meat, even lean red meat. Do you have thoughts on this? What are your thoughts about using Stevia for a sweetener? Thank you.🌼
Thank you for this awesome information and tips!! JJ, you are such an inspiration to my personal health journey. Thank YOU!
Thank you, Donielle.
Do dry herbs count in the same way as fresh herbs towards my 50 per week??
Thank you so much JJ I really love your clear and consistent message.
Thank you for everything you do! Taking your time to help people:) very helpful 😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!!
I didn’t catch which electrolytes and creatine you use ? Thank you
Awesome! Thank you! I am surprised that was 10 servings of veggies! I can do that!
You can do it! :)
Thank you for your knowledge. Question for you, the salad that you’ve made for lunch is exactly what I eat for lunch, the problem is that 1 hour later I am very hungry. Any idea why? My blood sugar is normal.
Thank you again.
You said no artificial sweeteners. But Monk fruit is mostly erythritol and has been shown to be very bad so I don’t understand. Thanks for explaining.
Hello, thank you for your question - please see our official response on erythritol here: jjvirgin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Erythritol-Response-March-2023.pdf
What about unsweetened vanilla almond milk for a smoothie?
@cleanqueen75, it's unsweetened. You can use it.
@@jjvirginvideosthis article was so helpful because I had just gone to the grocery store and sadly rejected monk fruit sweetener, it’s enlightening to know about the major limitations of the study 😊
Wow. This video is like a masterclass in nutrition.
Amazing tips 😊 Don't mind ma'am your skin looks hydrated & very beautiful 👍🏿
Thank you so much. What's your stepper if we have cravings even if we apply all those advises. Thanks
Great information! So similar to my diet, just less red meat more fish and other protein foods. Loved this, thankyou! 😊
Thank you, Van.
I eat tofu and soy milk and wondering if I should stop. Do you have fish everyday?
@@janinedance102 soy is toxic garbage
Thanks for sharing, very informative, I'll be eating better for sure ❤😊
Thank you for this thorough video on what to eat daily. I'm in the smoothy part of your video and wonder if there is new research that says seed and nut milks are bad for us? This is what I have been hearing lately. It's so difficult to know what is truly good for us with all the conflicting information. Also, I was diagnosed with hormone positive breast cancer in December of '21. So I try to stay away from chicken because of the hormones. Even clean chicken. Am I correct in believing that the hormones that naturally occur in a chicken (as well as other fish and meats/pork) can affect negatively my hormones? Thank you for the feedback.
Hi there! Yes, some meats can have hormones, especially from factory-farmed animals with added hormones and antibiotics. Opting for organic, pasture-raised options can help. But if you’re unsure, plant-based proteins are a great alternative. It’s all about what feels best for you and supports your health. Keep trusting your body-you’re doing great! -Team JJ
Great video! Quick question, what if I workout at 5am? Do I still wait to eat breakfast after a few hours?
I’ve been following you for years!!! I was surprised you didn’t put spinach in your smoothie. Is there a reason? I have hypothyroid line you, so wasn’t sure this was oxalate related. Thank you!
Look at iodinr for thyroid issues
Yes pls! We need to see some more recipes 🎃💕 I’m gonna give the cbd oil a try for the anxiety’s 😂🤪, does that pre-workouts give you the shakes or affect your anxiety hun?
Love this!!! Thank you for making it simple! 💜💜
Hi JJ I just subbed I'm a bariatric patient RNY 150 pounds down I'd like to lose another 20 pounds. I'm wondering if uou might do a video for us WLS folks I'm gluten free the only dairy I can tolerate is cheese. I used to love ghe dark choc but any dairy sets my psoriasis nuts. I can't believe you are anywhere near 60 years old girl I'd have said 45 at most you look fabulous ❤
This all makes sense. In fact, in the Essene Gospel of Peace...one of the books of the Bible, The Lord tells us to not eat until noon & then again b4 the sun goes down around 6pm. And this, what we are learning from JJ is why.😊
Dear JJ, i love your videos! I have a lot of trouble applying it to me. I'm 80 years old with bone on bone hip, weak heart, (3 heartaches )and poor balance. If I'm going any distance I use a wheelchair. Walk around the house with a walker. With my activity how much should I eat. Protein, vegetables, fat and a little carbs. Oh yes I'm diabetic also.
This is awesome, thanks for breaking it down, as I was not sure about how to put that amount of protein into 2 meals in my day. By the way, impressed arm muscles, gorgeous lines show your workout effects 💪
Thanks!
I thicken my smoothies with avocado plus spinach, kale, broccoli stems and goat kefir. Thx for your tips!
What about seeds and nuts in that salad?
@@esperansaloughran693 leave raw spinach out of the smoothy because it's very high in oxalates xxx
I work 7am to 6pm and do my workout/walk when i get home. Usually done by 7:45 or 8:00. I don't want to eat a heavy meal when I'm done because I'm usually in the bed by 8:45 or 9:00. I can't workout in the morning! 🙃 Can i just eat a salad or yogurt or cereal?
Thank you for not including the blender sound. Subbed!! ❤
Would love to se a days worth of vegan menu ideas.🌱
Thanks JJ - my fave shake is the Chai right now, so good! ❤ You have such valuable info, so important to cut out sugar!
You are so welcome!
Thank you, JJ! Exactly the information I needed. 😊
Hi thank you for all your great work 🙏🏻 but honestly I’m doing everything you said from eating healthy to exercising to walking to supplements, but my body is so stubborn and doesn’t want to let go of the fat any additional advice thank you 🙏🏻
Fastest way to lose excess body fat is a zero-carb diet for 90 days.
I lost 30lbs in 90 days doing that.
Now that I lost all the extra fat, I added back some veggies into my diet.
I still keep my daily carbs below 20 total grams per day.
I'm lean and full of energy now and can play with my kid without getting exhausted.
Eating carbs = getting fat.
Eating fat = getting thin.
Look up Dr. Ken Berry, Nutrition with Judy, Niesha, and other zero-carb influencers.
👏 👏 👏
@@Hertz2laugh I came here to say exactly this! I took my 90 days of no carbs into a year and a half so far and do not plan on ever buying/cooking vegetables at home again.
@@samanthakitch4736 can you say what you eat? Thanks
Great video. I would add eat what feels right. Example, I am not eating Tomatoes,
. No desire and contain lectins. Just saying. Chicken is not great for me. I substitute organic turkey. Whatever I. Doing my weight is good and has been long time. I do eat main meal mid day and eat lighter for dinner. I live alone so keep my meals simple and healthy.
How do you feel about psyllium husk powder for fiber?
Thank you for sharing this information I've have being diagnosed with pre-dibitas and don't know what to eat, I do have a sweet tooth so it's hard I make porridge bread healthier option because I know bread had carbs that turn into Suger any suggestions I would be greatful greetings from dublin ireland Patricia 🇮🇪
You have fantastically maintained yourself. Cheers
Thank you!
Great video, what is the multi fibre product you are using there? Thank you JJ
Hi Kim! That is the Extra Fiber found here - store.jjvirgin.com/products/extra-fiber
Thank you ❤❤ for breaking this information down, and yes, I did subscribe ❤❤.
You're welcome and thank you!
Thank you so much for your guidance! 🙏🏼❤️
😂😂😂This is in guidance, this is insanity! Nobody needs to eat that many times a day.
You are the best! Where do you get cacao calm? Thank you!
This is really great information thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! I’m 54 will be 55 next month ! I’m always extremely tired throughout the day possibly because I’m not sleeping well at night but I’m afraid if I eat this much I’ll gain weight. I’m already gaining weight around my stomach, it’s awful! I crave sweets like crazy! I’m going to do your plan! Hoping to have more energy!!
You got this, Iris.
Fantastic!! I'm new here and very impressed. Thank you. I have been searching for someone like you.
Awesome! Thank you!
8:49 I always eat before otherwise I’m hungry! I’m lean with muscle and hungry a lot! We are all different. Some off us cannot handle certain foods, caffeine, long windows of “fasting” so each to their own. Listen to your body.
God bless you. This helped us all so much to actually see what you eat. I’m new and Love your channel!
Glad you popped up in my thread! 😁
Thanks for coming
Love these types of videos showing EXACTLY what you eat and why. GREAT!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Is there anything distinctively beneficial about consuming lentils over other legumes???
