After watching your grocery order ,I bought some bananas and sliced and added lemon juice, I have them in the freezer and soon I will put them in baggies. I’m the same size as you.working on eating without sugar. It’s really hard. I ordered a 1x pant from spank,and they are sorta tight. Did you find them ok.? Mine are a quite heavy fabric,
Selfishly, I'm glad you're doing more of the food/weight loss videos. Admittedly, I'm not much of a fashion gal. If the fashion fairy had showed up when I was born and issued me a standard uniform to wear for life, with size changes over time, I would have been quite happy. I'm the laziest clothing person ever. I think the amount of weight you've lost over the course of a year is fantastic. It's a comfortable, sustainable pace. Nice work.
You are going to get a lot more haters for being real like this... but I love these videos so much. I'd love to even see cooking/recipe videos too! There's not enough support on TH-cam. You go girl!
Would love some meal prep videos. You’re so down to earth and Canadian, so we can actually buy the products! Where can I find your recipe with the chick peas?
I need an eating reset, too! We've been eating down our freezers, and unfortunately, I am a good cook! It's portion size that is getting me! Time to get back on track!
Hi Cathy other interesting video haul I have found is very helpful and good information and I would like to see more of your healthy grocery haul I think they are really helpful for me thanks again Cathy a great video ❤xxx
You can add about 1/3 cup of chick peas to your smoothies , it doesn’t change the taste. As long as you are blending well you won’t taste them. I use them every day.
Arugula on grilled cheese sounds great! I love the flavor of arugula! I also put thinly sliced apples on grilled cheese too. Now I'm hungry! Count me in on these videos, I enjoy them and get ideas for getting out of ruts.
Hi Cathy..appreciate your all your videos, especially your food videos. Helps me so much on my healthy weight loss journey. I am 70...God Bless you Cathy...Thankyou ❤
Hello Cathy, I so enjoy seeing your grocery hauls and sharing your recipe tricks with us, I have started to eat more healthier and I enjoy my food so much more, thanks for sharing your weight loss journey as it has helped me more than you will ever know. 🥰
I buy at Walmart in Virginia, a small clamshell package of baby leaf lettuce, a bag of baby spinach, sprinkle the carrot matchsticks, a few blueberries, nuts, and we use the Brianna red wine vinegar dressing. My daughter started us on this, it is so good. You can also add some chicken, fish, etc. and have a complete meal.
Hi Cathy. I would love to see your recipes. In New York, I am also shocked at the prices in the supermarket. Take good care and all the best as you continue your health journey. ❤
Great haul! My husband reversed his diabetes 2 through diet. We both swear by Premier Protein shakes - dry & bottled. Love Greek yogurt with a few drops of maple extract. I love Brussels Sprouts, dislike arugula. Love garbanzo beans, too. You're all set for a successful September, Cathy!
Hi. Cathy. I can only have a berry smoothie. Bananas are too high in sugar for me for im diabetic. I love Brussel sprouts. I really like your cooking show. The hamburger soup still my favorite of what you make 😋 greek yogurt is so good. I use a bit of monk fruit to sweeten it up just abit. Grilled cheese 🧀 😋 yummy. My hubby makes the best grilled cheese ever. That sounds good olive oil on the arugla. I find it so dry. Those are small cucumbers 🥒 😅 another veggie im to stay clear of carrots and corn 🌽 🫛 . Turn into sugars for me that is. Everyone is different and know what they can have and not. 😉 im lucky i dont wish for sweets. My hubby he loves sweets. Im going to try that spreadable butter. Ive been getting butter and its so salty i have to watch the sodium use . I get the no sugar added ketcup. Its tasty. I'll look for the ryvita 🎊 crackers. Is the almond milk now safe after the recalls. I know foods are so expensive. My hubby and i get our meats at the local meat market so fresh. The organic chicken so delicious what a difference in taste. We dont eat alot of meats. It pays for us to pick it up fresh. I really enjoy your cooking shows and grocery hauls. I to have to get back up on the wagon also Of healthy meals. Im seeing a dietician next week. For im diabetic and have to really watch what i eat. Thanks Kathy. See you soon. 🥰 your very encouraging. 👋✌️🫶🙏🙌
Love all the hauls, and food prepping. I'm not a fan of yogurt. The only ones I've been able to eat is the whips. I am diabetic, so the fruit salad would be a no for me. It sounds good for sure.
Are you sure? I am pre-diabetic and my RD (registered dietician) told me 3 small servings a day of fruit is ok. So I can cut up a bunch of different fruits and have a half cup serving at a time. But she said it was essential to pair it with protein/fiber to slow the sugar uptake. So I have it with Ryvita cracker, or no sugar peanut butter or with cottage cheese.
I know what the dietician says, but we all react differently. For me personally, fruit salad like that runs me through the roof, even with the cracker. I'm happy for you that you can, but just doesn't work for me. Maybe because I've been diabetic for so long. (25 yrs or more)
I really appreciate the fact that you stick with fairly simple recipes with readily available ingredients. Also, enjoy your idea of the charcuterie board for supper. Keep up the good work and thanks so much for the weight loss inspiration!
I feel you on grocery delivery/pick up. It’s not specific to Walmart. I use a local grocery store and there is always something missing or wrong. But, I look at as worth the risk if I don’t have time to shop myself. Btw I’m Kathy over 50 lol.
I dice carrots really small and add them to minced beef when I do meals such as bolognese, chilli, lasagne and cottage pie. It's an easy way to add mire veg. I wohld love to see some more meal prep 😋
Like the idea of meal prepping videos. Even when Covid was a thing, I hated ordering delivery. They never were able to pick fruit and veggies like I can, so as soon as the shopping ban was lifted, I was back at the store with my mask! I'm your cheering section! Go Cathy! I didn't get lazy in August, but I also didn't lose any weight. Like sharing tips! Hard boiled eggs are a wonderful snack instead of fruit around 3:30-4:00 in the afternoon. That's when I need something to tide me over. I'm also not a fan of bananas, ginger, or greek yogurt. I do a fruit at night while watching tv with my hubs. My favorite is fresh raspberries or blackberries. Keeps me regular too (if you know what I mean!) Air popped corn is also a nice after dinner snack. I'm on WW, and have lost 15 lbs since January. I'm 66, and live in Seattle Washington!
We just started going to a local butcher to get our meats. We watch them cut fresh what we ask for. This started after we got some bad chicken at Food Lion. Love your videos! Am new to watching you. Any recipes are greatly appreciated!
Agree. It's like that here in Canada also. A good price on broccoli is $4. I bought a $6 cauliflower, but it's huge, and I can add curry powder and olive oil and a can of chickpeas and a bit of milk or tomatoes and have a curry enough to feed us and have leftovers. Serve on brown rice. Fiber, protein, healthy fat and yummy.
Love the grocery hauls helps me with ideas. Also you look really pretty today. Your hair looks on point, and your makeup looks so youthful for some reason. Is there anything new that you are using?
I love smoothies my Green smoothie recipe Hand full of spinach 1 courgette 1 banana frozen 40g avocado 2 tbl pistachio nuts ground up 1/2 cup water Blueberry smoothie is 100g frozen blueberries 1 frozen banana 40g avocado 2 tsp pistachio nuts ground 3/4 cup water Chocolate peanut smoothie 1 frozen banana 40g avocado 1 tbl crunchy peanut butter 10g dark chocolate melted I use 90% 1:2 cup water I freeze my own banana in pieces, you can add yogurt to all the above but I don’t particularly like it.
Thanks Cathy. These videos are so helpful! On another note-have u ever had your colors done? I think it would be interesting to watch them color analyze you.
I love smoothies also. You are right up my ally with the roasted vedg! Every week i roast chopped eggplant,tomatoes, peppers and onions with evoo ,touch of sugar (or sugar substitute),and red wine vinegar. I eat these all day they are delicious. For your green smoothie just add your arugula and/or spinach to your regular smoothie
After watching your video this morning, I bought the Oikos Yogurt that you recommended and …it’s the ONLY yogurt that I actually LIKE! Thank you so much for the recommendation 💖
Hi, Love your channel and I enjoy these haul videos. You mentioned wanting to try another green smoothie recipe - my favorite is the vitamix going green smoothie - might be easier for you to google it and it is easier to find. I use frozen fruit - banana, pineapple, and the grapes (if I remember to freeze these). Does not taste “green” but is quite refreshing. Hope you and your husband are doing well. Let’s all look forward to the cooler weather! ❤
Here in France, we get boxed milk. Coming from Canada, we were freaked out about it, but now we don't give it a second thought. Stick it in the fridge before you open it so it's cold, and you shouldn't taste the difference! I like your top today! Best wishes from Brittany, France!
I really wish my husband would do that for our groceries. He always goes to the store. Then he complains because he can’t get down the aisles for the big blue carts. I think he just likes to complain. I love these kind of videos. And I like to watch cooking videos. I can always use some new recipes. I don’t drink almond milk. My daughter’s whole family does. Except, my grandson when he comes over. The first thing he does is open the refrigerator and the freezer to see what’s inside. Then he goes to the pantry. He’s just trying to figure out what he wants to eat. And he drinks chocolate milk here. I use Nestle Quik in my milk. And he uses a lot of it in his milk. I think he’s the only one in their house who doesn’t really like almond milk. But that’s all his mom buys. I’m not sure he drinks milk at his house. His younger brother and sisters are vegetarians. They were raised that way. And I don’t think that will last when they get older. My seven year old granddaughter already wants to try meat. His older sisters were vegetarians. But two eat chicken and fish and the third one will eat any meat, I think.
I really enjoy your videos! You share helpful and practical ideas! I am definitely inspired to try those smoothies using frozen fruit. I like learning that the fr9zen (ch3aper) fruits taste good in these. Also, your brand preference is helpful with the yogurt. I hate yogurt! So, having an idea of exactly what you found and liked is helpful. Thank you!
Hi, I will only buy 4 bananas at a time because they rippen so quickly. For me, I tend to eat more oatmeal as a first meal with fruit and honey. It fills me up. Yes, smoothies are so good too.
I agree entirely with your nutritionist's idea to eat food you enjoy, keeping processed foods to a minimum. My dietician said the same thing. I hate yogurt but I can tolerate the no-fat Greek yogurt if I add a bit of honey and flax seed (for heart health) and vanilla and cinnamon in with the fruit. I need something that I have to chew for dinner though or I will feel as though I am missing out! (PS Mine said no more than 3 small servings of fruit a day. Eat more veg than fruit, is her idea. I'm trying to like fruit but I keep running into chocolate bars! ha!) You did so well in the past, and I think you can return to the healthier eating now that it will soon be fall!
I don’t think protein powders are mandatory but I love adding flavored PP to my yogurt for extra protein and they come in delicious flavors. I really enjoy 1UP nutrition ice cream cone flavor.
I have never in my 72 years had a smoothie but what you described with the blueberries, Raspberries, And frozen bananas sounds good. Oh and put a little yogurt in there did you say? Is that All?
I like the weight loss videos. You and I eat the same. Your grocery haul looks like mine. I find I can’t have sugary and carb snacks in the house! Btw. Your hair looks great in this video.
Thanks! Didn't know you could buy frozen bananas. With frozen sliced bananas and frozen sliced strawberries plus 1/2 to one cup of whole milk blended I have ice cream.
I’d like to see how you Mn take your smoothies with yogurt and water ! Plus other recipes too green apple in a green smoothie? I take a damp paper towels and wipe the food of mushroom really well so you eat your bigger meal mid day?
America's Test Kitchens did an experiment where they washed mushrooms in a sink of water. The mushrooms did not absorb enough water to be a worry, and the mushrooms were much cleaner. Same can be done with strawberries, they found. No water absorption.
I buy fruit in season or when it is a good sale price. I then cut it up and put it in smaller freezer bags. This allows me to have fresh fruit and berries and not have them rot. You have to be very portion conscious with fruit when trying to lose weight, because they are high in carbs - which is one of the reasons for weight gain. Most vegetables - except certain root vegetables and winter squash - are great for eating for weight loss! Unfortunately, yogurt is another food high in carbs if it's flavored. There is a lot of sugar in it, sadly. If you are eating sandwiches, I highly recommend the various keto breads available. They are much lower in carbs than any standard bread as well as having less sugar. When making your roasted vegetables, put the shredded carrots in after the other, bigger vegetables have cooked for awhile. If you put them in at the same time with the others, they will just burn and get very hard. The secret with roasted vegetables is to have them all cut to around the same size so some aren't done before the others. Sorry but apples aren't low glycemic - they are high in sugar. A medium apple has about 25 grams of carbs! A lot when you consider a low carb meal, in total, should only have 20 to 25 carbs. Pears are also high in sugar. And maple syrup is just liquid sugar! It's not healthy nor part of a good eating plan. And lower carbs is the answer for weight loss. I've lost 45-50 pounds eating lower carbs - but not crazy keto style! My eating plan consists of organic produce, meats, and full-fat dairy (except milks which are high in sugar). But I do make sure not to eat produce that is high in sugar. You will notice a quicker weight loss if you are very carb conscious, but that doesn't mean you can't have delicious meals and feel satisfied! I know because I'm a quantity eater and have had a weight loss problem most of my life. But not for the past three years!
I'm working with a registered dietician and this is what works for me. We all have to follow the plan that will be satisfying and sustainable and eating a balanced diet works for me. Congrats on your weight loss, that's amazing!
A cup of apple slices has 17 grams of carbs. And Cathy has found something that works for her, with the help of a registered dietician. No one should lose more than 1-2 pounds of weight a week, and life situations need to be taken into account. My dietician said 3 meals of 30 g of carbs per meal plus two 15 gram carbs snacks a day will help the brain not need a huge carb boost. In other words, will help avoid a binge. And the RD said that this small an amount is quite difficult and needn't be followed so strictly to lose weight slowly and safely. You are literally starving your brain when you don't eat enough carbs. That is what "carb flu" is.
@@jonap5740 LOL! Well that doesn't sound especially healthy. A total of 120 carbs a day! No thank you. If you want to lose weight, you must lower your intake or high glycemic carbohydrates. It's as simple as that as well as cutting out processed foods. Any of that type of information is easy to find on line. To maintain a weight is different than losing weight and too many carbs will slow down or stop the weight loss process. I'm not sure why people need a dietician to tell them what will help them to lose weight and what is healthy. All the info is out there on line or in books and paying someone to tell you what you can get for free is foolish. In fact, it's been available to the public for decades! Unless you've got an underlying health problem, a person should be able to tackle weight loss without paying someone to tell them not to eat sugar or processed foods! And if you think about it, since you are paying a dietician, wouldn't it be counter productive for them to want you to loose weight and feel better? And stop coming to them? They aren't a non-profit entity. They would want you to keep coming to them (and consequently keep paying them) asking questions, figuring out diet plans, teaching you what not to eat. All things that a person can easily do on their own. I have diabetes and being overweight is a main driver of that disease. When I learned I was diabetic I lost between 45 and 50 pounds without the help of a dietician or a diabetes specialist with diet and exercise. And kept it off! I do not take insulin any more and take only pill-form medication twice a day.. All the info I needed to get my weight and my blood sugar back on track I found online without much searching at all. Maybe other people need handholding or someone looking stuff up for them, but that just isn't for me.
@@garmtpug In my province in Canada, seeing a registered dietician is free. And they have seven years of university education so they have so much more education about what minerals and vitamins interact together, how many mg of vit K you need, how to fuel the brain without starving it and causing a binge etc. I am glad you found out things that work for you. Please consider the idea that RDs don't make stuff up, they are coming from a place of education and are very helpful. They ARE literally a non-profit entity. They work as part of the health care system, as do nurses and doctors. We don't pay those either. Best of luck to you with your diabetes. Isn't Cathy great?!!! I admire her so much.
QUESTION: when they forget items at Walmart, aren't you still charged for them anyway? I was thinking of starting to order my groceries online but now I'm concerned...
No, if something is missing I’m not charged and if by mistake I was, I can ask for a correction. It’s a great service. Sometimes they will send something that is about to expire so I can report it and ask for a refund or replacement.
@StyleWithCathyOver50 thank you!! I want to start doing this now that school has started (I'm a teacher) and my husband won't shop by himself. This seems like it would work for us.
Hi Cathy! Another great grocery haul, thanks so much! I love the Ryvita crisp breads, they are Swedish crisp bread and so very healthy. I've switched from bread to those, what a godsend to weight loss....Keep up the good work, I'm not sure what your grocery haul would cost here in Vancouver but I suspect it would be higher...Hmm....a research project for me! Have a good long weekend Cathy!!
Do not understand eating smoothies all the time. Doesn’t sound good. I would rather eat solid food. Solid food takes awhile to chew so slows down your consumption allowing your brain to process being satiated.
Personally for me (possibly for her too) I hate chewing fruits and veggies. I find I eat more fruits and veggies when I blend them up in a smoothie than when I don't sometimes. Satiation does not just come from chewing. Look up the studies on eating soup.. soup tends to be very satiating and that's almost all liquid.

Hi Cathy, I enjoy seeing your food hauls and would like seeing meal preps too. I always need ideas for meals as I need to lose a lot of weight.
I buy a bunch of bananas and freeze them after a few days. Easy & cheaper than buying frozen.

Meat and veg...all you need
I would love to see meal prep video!

Love roasted vegetables ....zucchini, pepper, mushrooms. I cook in extra virgin olive oil for alot of my meals.
Love roasted vegetables. Carrots work well, but take longer to cook so the matchstick cut should work well.

Thank you for sharing your recipes. 😊
Thank you for your recipes! Now I have a starting point. 😊
Yes more prep meals. I enjoy the grocery hauls! Keep them coming.
I really enjoyed this video. I would love to see some meal prep ones for meal planning ideas.
Thanks Cathy. These videos are so helpful! On another note-have u ever had your colors done? I think it would be interesting to watch them color analyze you.
I haven't had my colours done. I just have an idea of what colours I like and if they look good on me, I wear them. 😉
Enjoy these food haul videos very much ❤
I love to Grocery shop. And, I think it’s a good way to get steps in.
Would love some meal preps and grocery hauls
Ryvita is my go to.
Aren't they great! I love them!
I love smoothies also. You are right up my ally with the roasted vedg! Every week i roast chopped eggplant,tomatoes, peppers and onions with evoo ,touch of sugar (or sugar substitute),and red wine vinegar. I eat these all day they are delicious. For your green smoothie just add your arugula and/or spinach to your regular smoothie
After watching your video this morning, I bought the Oikos Yogurt that you recommended and …it’s the ONLY yogurt that I actually LIKE! Thank you so much for the recommendation 💖
Wonderful!
Love the grocery hauls!
Yes to hauls! Please and thank you ❤
P.S. LOVE that top!
Yep love the groceries hauls!
Hi, Love your channel and I enjoy these haul videos. You mentioned wanting to try another green smoothie recipe - my favorite is the vitamix going green smoothie - might be easier for you to google it and it is easier to find. I use frozen fruit - banana, pineapple, and the grapes (if I remember to freeze these). Does not taste “green” but is quite refreshing. Hope you and your husband are doing well. Let’s all look forward to the cooler weather! ❤
I'll check it out! Thank you!
Here in France, we get boxed milk. Coming from Canada, we were freaked out about it, but now we don't give it a second thought. Stick it in the fridge before you open it so it's cold, and you shouldn't taste the difference! I like your top today! Best wishes from Brittany, France!
Thanks for sharing!
Recipies and meal prep yes yes
I would love to see meal prep videos!
I really wish my husband would do that for our groceries. He always goes to the store. Then he complains because he can’t get down the aisles for the big blue carts. I think he just likes to complain. I love these kind of videos. And I like to watch cooking videos. I can always use some new recipes. I don’t drink almond milk. My daughter’s whole family does. Except, my grandson when he comes over. The first thing he does is open the refrigerator and the freezer to see what’s inside. Then he goes to the pantry. He’s just trying to figure out what he wants to eat. And he drinks chocolate milk here. I use Nestle Quik in my milk. And he uses a lot of it in his milk. I think he’s the only one in their house who doesn’t really like almond milk. But that’s all his mom buys. I’m not sure he drinks milk at his house. His younger brother and sisters are vegetarians. They were raised that way. And I don’t think that will last when they get older. My seven year old granddaughter already wants to try meat. His older sisters were vegetarians. But two eat chicken and fish and the third one will eat any meat, I think.
I really enjoy your videos! You share helpful and practical ideas! I am definitely inspired to try those smoothies using frozen fruit. I like learning that the fr9zen (ch3aper) fruits taste good in these. Also, your brand preference is helpful with the yogurt. I hate yogurt! So, having an idea of exactly what you found and liked is helpful. Thank you!
Hi, I will only buy 4 bananas at a time because they rippen so quickly. For me, I tend to eat more oatmeal as a first meal with fruit and honey. It fills me up. Yes, smoothies are so good too.
I agree entirely with your nutritionist's idea to eat food you enjoy, keeping processed foods to a minimum. My dietician said the same thing. I hate yogurt but I can tolerate the no-fat Greek yogurt if I add a bit of honey and flax seed (for heart health) and vanilla and cinnamon in with the fruit. I need something that I have to chew for dinner though or I will feel as though I am missing out! (PS Mine said no more than 3 small servings of fruit a day. Eat more veg than fruit, is her idea. I'm trying to like fruit but I keep running into chocolate bars! ha!) You did so well in the past, and I think you can return to the healthier eating now that it will soon be fall!
Yes i brought i just went to buy for 3 recipes and it was 109. Iwas like what .but i really enjoy your grocery hauls
Great video! I need to shop better! More veggies, for sure. Thanks for the inspiration! You look so pretty in that top!
Thank you!! 😊
I think I am going to like your way of eating!
Great suggestions. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Hi Cathy! Would love to see recipes! Have a great day ❤
I don’t think protein powders are mandatory but I love adding flavored PP to my yogurt for extra protein and they come in delicious flavors. I really enjoy 1UP nutrition ice cream cone flavor.
Where do you buy this protein powder?
@@StyleWithCathyOver50 on the 1UP Nutrition website.
I have never in my 72 years had a smoothie but what you described with the blueberries, Raspberries, And frozen bananas sounds good. Oh and put a little yogurt in there did you say? Is that All?
Yes, and a touch of water if you don't like it too thick. I also will add some ground Flaxseed if I have some on hand.
I like the weight loss videos. You and I eat the same. Your grocery haul looks like mine. I find I can’t have sugary and carb snacks in the house! Btw. Your hair looks great in this video.
You are looking great!
Thank you so much!
Try kale, canned pineapple in juice, vanilla protein Greek yogurt.
Thanks! Didn't know you could buy frozen bananas. With frozen sliced bananas and frozen sliced strawberries plus 1/2 to one cup of whole milk blended I have ice cream.
As far as smoothie goes, that’s a lot of sugar. You need to add fiber and greens to balance it out…
Yes! More veggies than fruit and nuts and seeds!
@@debiwillis9045 agreed
Hi Cathy 🤟🥰
Good morning!
thx. meal prep please.
Wow u look great! ❤
Thank you!!
Your roastecd vegies sound yummy😊
I’d like to see how you Mn take your smoothies with yogurt and water ! Plus other recipes too green apple in a green smoothie? I take a damp paper towels and wipe the food of mushroom really well so you eat your bigger meal mid day?
America's Test Kitchens did an experiment where they washed mushrooms in a sink of water. The mushrooms did not absorb enough water to be a worry, and the mushrooms were much cleaner. Same can be done with strawberries, they found. No water absorption.
@@jonap5740I wash all my produce in water with vinegar and baking soda, but not mushrooms!
Matchstick carrots are not good for roasting, but i put them in salads, stir frys, rice dishes etc, but not riasted they are WAY too small
I buy fruit in season or when it is a good sale price. I then cut it up and put it in smaller freezer bags. This allows me to have fresh fruit and berries and not have them rot.
You have to be very portion conscious with fruit when trying to lose weight, because they are high in carbs - which is one of the reasons for weight gain. Most vegetables - except certain root vegetables and winter squash - are great for eating for weight loss!
Unfortunately, yogurt is another food high in carbs if it's flavored. There is a lot of sugar in it, sadly. If you are eating sandwiches, I highly recommend the various keto breads available. They are much lower in carbs than any standard bread as well as having less sugar.
When making your roasted vegetables, put the shredded carrots in after the other, bigger vegetables have cooked for awhile. If you put them in at the same time with the others, they will just burn and get very hard. The secret with roasted vegetables is to have them all cut to around the same size so some aren't done before the others.
Sorry but apples aren't low glycemic - they are high in sugar. A medium apple has about 25 grams of carbs! A lot when you consider a low carb meal, in total, should only have 20 to 25 carbs. Pears are also high in sugar. And maple syrup is just liquid sugar! It's not healthy nor part of a good eating plan.
And lower carbs is the answer for weight loss. I've lost 45-50 pounds eating lower carbs - but not crazy keto style! My eating plan consists of organic produce, meats, and full-fat dairy (except milks which are high in sugar). But I do make sure not to eat produce that is high in sugar.
You will notice a quicker weight loss if you are very carb conscious, but that doesn't mean you can't have delicious meals and feel satisfied! I know because I'm a quantity eater and have had a weight loss problem most of my life. But not for the past three years!
I'm working with a registered dietician and this is what works for me. We all have to follow the plan that will be satisfying and sustainable and eating a balanced diet works for me. Congrats on your weight loss, that's amazing!
A cup of apple slices has 17 grams of carbs. And Cathy has found something that works for her, with the help of a registered dietician. No one should lose more than 1-2 pounds of weight a week, and life situations need to be taken into account. My dietician said 3 meals of 30 g of carbs per meal plus two 15 gram carbs snacks a day will help the brain not need a huge carb boost. In other words, will help avoid a binge. And the RD said that this small an amount is quite difficult and needn't be followed so strictly to lose weight slowly and safely. You are literally starving your brain when you don't eat enough carbs. That is what "carb flu" is.
@@jonap5740 LOL! Well that doesn't sound especially healthy. A total of 120 carbs a day! No thank you. If you want to lose weight, you must lower your intake or high glycemic carbohydrates. It's as simple as that as well as cutting out processed foods. Any of that type of information is easy to find on line.
To maintain a weight is different than losing weight and too many carbs will slow down or stop the weight loss process.
I'm not sure why people need a dietician to tell them what will help them to lose weight and what is healthy. All the info is out there on line or in books and paying someone to tell you what you can get for free is foolish. In fact, it's been available to the public for decades!
Unless you've got an underlying health problem, a person should be able to tackle weight loss without paying someone to tell them not to eat sugar or processed foods!
And if you think about it, since you are paying a dietician, wouldn't it be counter productive for them to want you to loose weight and feel better? And stop coming to them? They aren't a non-profit entity. They would want you to keep coming to them (and consequently keep paying them) asking questions, figuring out diet plans, teaching you what not to eat. All things that a person can easily do on their own.
I have diabetes and being overweight is a main driver of that disease. When I learned I was diabetic I lost between 45 and 50 pounds without the help of a dietician or a diabetes specialist with diet and exercise. And kept it off! I do not take insulin any more and take only pill-form medication twice a day.. All the info I needed to get my weight and my blood sugar back on track I found online without much searching at all. Maybe other people need handholding or someone looking stuff up for them, but that just isn't for me.
@@garmtpug In my province in Canada, seeing a registered dietician is free. And they have seven years of university education so they have so much more education about what minerals and vitamins interact together, how many mg of vit K you need, how to fuel the brain without starving it and causing a binge etc. I am glad you found out things that work for you. Please consider the idea that RDs don't make stuff up, they are coming from a place of education and are very helpful. They ARE literally a non-profit entity. They work as part of the health care system, as do nurses and doctors. We don't pay those either. Best of luck to you with your diabetes. Isn't Cathy great?!!! I admire her so much.
I like balsalmic on my salads
❤
QUESTION: when they forget items at Walmart, aren't you still charged for them anyway? I was thinking of starting to order my groceries online but now I'm concerned...
No, if something is missing I’m not charged and if by mistake I was, I can ask for a correction. It’s a great service. Sometimes they will send something that is about to expire so I can report it and ask for a refund or replacement.
@StyleWithCathyOver50 thank you!! I want to start doing this now that school has started (I'm a teacher) and my husband won't shop by himself. This seems like it would work for us.
Smoothies should be more veggies than fruit
They can be whatever someone likes.
Do you have any fruit and veg markets near by? That would be interesting. And much less packaging
Mushrooms should not be eaten raw, Cathy. Always COOK your mushrooms.
I've been eating them raw most of my life, I'm talking the white button mushrooms.
@@StyleWithCathyOver50 I heard somewhere that they should be cooked. Best to check on it, don't take my word for it. Good health to you !!
@@NancyParker-wf6eqI eat them raw too...65 years old, I think it's ok!
Hi Cathy! Another great grocery haul, thanks so much! I love the Ryvita crisp breads, they are Swedish crisp bread and so very healthy. I've switched from bread to those, what a godsend to weight loss....Keep up the good work, I'm not sure what your grocery haul would cost here in Vancouver but I suspect it would be higher...Hmm....a research project for me! Have a good long weekend Cathy!!
Thanks Linda! Enjoy your weekend too! 💖
silk almond milk is awful has no almonds that make your own.
Not everyone has time.
From Sharon, I prefer the Walmart brand almond milk.
Do not understand eating smoothies all the time. Doesn’t sound good. I would rather eat solid food. Solid food takes awhile to chew so slows down your consumption allowing your brain to process being satiated.
Personally for me (possibly for her too) I hate chewing fruits and veggies. I find I eat more fruits and veggies when I blend them up in a smoothie than when I don't sometimes. Satiation does not just come from chewing. Look up the studies on eating soup.. soup tends to be very satiating and that's almost all liquid.
I don’t eat smoothies all of the time. It’s a good quick, satisfying meal or snack after a workout.
Smoothies……… are a definite NO for me! Does not fill me up! You eat like a bird! Definitely not for everybody! Glad it works for you!
I agree, I like high volume and low calorie, she may not be losing because she's not eating enough
