      @@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef It all depends on your gut microbiome which will dictates how well you will absorb the protein from the beans but most of my calories comes from sweet potatoes and i eat them with the skin which is the fiber which will stop you're blood sugar from rising. try fermenting foods so you can build those needed gut microbiome.

    I am so happy you said that it’s the calorie deficit that matters most to lose weight because I need to lose weight but I don’t want to restrict myself from certain foods I want to eat what I want in moderation/ calorie counting so as not to go overboard, btw I do have a small appetite and tend to eat fairly healthy any ways!!!

    • @NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef
      @NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! I love a balanced approach. I find that people that restrict their favorite foods, fail. There's nothing wrong with enjoying your favorite fun foods in moderation. Food quality also matter so it's important to fuel the body with wholesome foods.
      I like the 80/20 approach 80% Whole Foods 20% "processed" and I never feel like I'm missing out. It's what I found has worked for me :)
