Thank you Liz. Telling it how it is, with regards to Oat Milk, white chocolate and spreads. I’m guilty of a fizzy drink, I’m not perfect. I love your explanation and knowledge too. ❤
I leave my Kerry butter in a butter dish. If you really want to make alternative ‘milk’ blending a few nuts/oats, a pitted date, filtered water with a sprinkle of cinnamon is delicious. Keeps well for a few days in the fridge.
I agree with all. Re veggie crisps you can use the washed peelings of the likes of carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, beetroot. Wonderful in an air frier or oven with a touch of olive oil and salt😍
Love the veggie idea!!! I do the same with carrots, and cucumbers and thinly sliced red onion in brine!!! I do roast seeds and drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and sometimes add a little organic stevia it makes a very nice snack. Roasting the seeds removes the phytates from the seeds.
DR Bernard says full fat milkhas lactose in it which is basicaly sugar . It also contains hormones . Fed to the baby calf for their growth . Not for humans ❤ ❤
That’s just someone’s opinion. Don’t fall for everything you hear online, but rather make educated decisions based on common sense and scientific studies.
Thankyou Liz I have got that way that I darn't eat anything, or drink anything, Obviously I have too, I had a stroke last year, and I have to take a tablet because of it, I am told, you mustn't eat this, or you mustn't eat that or drink this or that, Besides the fact that food is always being messed with everything else, I get so angry, You just feel that these people don't care what we buy, as long as they get the money. I wish there were more people like you who know what they are doing, we need nutritionists in shops and doctors surgeries, to tell us about food, I am going sit down and try to read up on food, Thankyou liz 💓 😊
Regarding nutritionists they can have some very opposing ideas of what’s healthy and like all things it’s not a one size fits all in healthy eating. So confusing!
what type of olive oil would you mix with butter. coz theres so many different types so can u suggest a particular one please. i would love to drink kumbutcha but have problems with my kidneys and as far as i know theres a lot of sugar in it. i also have type 2 diabetis.
My diabetic nurse always says everything has to be fat free 😢 I told her at my last appointment I would rather not eat than have that fat free greek yoghurt (it's disgusting) so gone with 10%, much nicer.
It's really annoying how some of the medical profession promote that stuff. My Mum in law was told years ago to have those artificial sweetners in her tea. I thought how can you listen to someone who promotes aspartame for diabetics.😢.
Please get a better health care provider! If she's a diabetic nurse she should know that keeping insulin low is the most important thing you can do for your health. And those fat-free foods are usually high in sugar!
I was told that apparently it’s far better to drink full fat milk and yoghurts other than low fat. The low fat ( due to the fat size) is more inclined to stick to your insides, unlike full fat larger lumps that do not stick. ( if this makes sense)
Liz really loves extra virgin olive oil - you can read more on that here. We know that seed oils are a hugely popular topic so we'll be making a video on this too ❤️ lizearlewellbeing.com/beauty-advice/healthy-skin/benefits-of-olive-oil/
Can’t have cows milk because of migraine though I do eat butter. Made my own coconut 'milk' added berries and a date or two. Watered it down and it tastes very good on my breakfast. Sometimes have rice 'milk' .
What would be a good alternative in a coffee? I can’t stand cows milk in coffee and find black coffee not so nice…. I have been relying on oat milk/soya etc for years… I just tried Plenish Barista oat milk and it just didn’t work for me! Is there any other suggestions as I am struggling to think of any? 🙏
You could try making your own! But the ingredients will still spike blood sugars but they won't have any of the other unwanted ingredients - recipe on our website ❤️
Hi Liz - I’m interested to see what you think the best milk would be if you are dairy intolerant. All the dairy you speak about - milk, kefir etc. What would you recommend? I suffer with IBD so alot of fibre is not good for me either. It might be nice for you to do a you tube video or podcast to cover what healthy foods you would recommend for people with IBD. Thank you 😊
Margarine being promoted as healthy is a crime against humanity. Even worse when they are "heart tick approved." Real butter is best (I love Kerrygold). I gave up fizzy drinks a long time ago, because they made me sluggish and bloated. Instead I make my own fizzy drinks with sparkling water, a dash of lemon or lime juice, mint leaves and a few slices of ginger. I need to give up white chocolate, but I am a little bit obsessed with Green & Black's White Chocolate with Vanilla 😒
Fascinating! Thanks, Liz. I can’t give up milky tea and coffee but am allergic to dairy and soya. I’ve been drinking oat milk instead but now I’m really concerned about that. Have you got any good alternatives? The tips about crisped veggies and spreadable butter are great 😊
my luxury is Lindt 90% dark chocolate, just 2 squares most days but its gone hideously expensive, will take a look at the cooking chocolate.Only eat real butter, use it also for cooking along with lard, dripping, olive oil & occasionally coconut oil - luckily I'm not a fan of fizzy sodas.
You are so wise! My 'fridge has broken and i am awaiting a new one for an odd space. It is so hard to keep milk despite putting it in cold water in the washing up bowl. Tried regular milk and then long life milk which kept a bit better than the regular. Then for a change I tried long life oat milk which keeps for several days but is, well, horrid. You explain things though now, it is not milk at all! Next about the butter. I am not long a diabetic and my gp sent me on a course which tried to teach us what we should be eating. That was butter not margarine. The teachet told us about an experiment done with rats offering them food. They ate the butter but ignored the margarine as they did not consider it a food! Wise rats! I like spreadable but prefer President to Lurpak as it ie mostly butter. What a good idea about the oil mix to do it yourself. You are so helpful and your own glowing health reflects your sensible but oh so accessible, choicesm Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is much appreciated.
Oh no, I converted to oat milk about a year ago as I found I digested it easier than cow’s milk and really like it. Thought I had chosen a healthier alternative. My teenage daughter likes it too. I always buy the oat milks that have the highest % of oats and very little else but it’s the conversion to a high sugar content once ingested that now has me concerned. What would be a better / not overly priced alternative to dairy milk please?
@@lizearlewellbeing Thanks girly , when one thinks logically about it as you have obviously done in regards the water being taken out one is left with more sugar is a item irrespective of the fruit, thank you Elizabeth, somewhat of a wise soul you are , no pun intended but food for thought = is humour allowed these days in messages? , take care you = me.
Stopped drinking fizzy drinks in our house around 10 years ago..phosphorous not good for your bones..look what it does when you drop a penny in a glass of pop! I've just switched back to whole milk from semi skimmed as I discovered it's far better for you...and butter is best too..agree with 4 of these but have a small addiction t o crisps...
Margarine is promoted as ‘healthy’ around the world- e.g. I have found that you have to seek out butter in the Caribbean. Crisps / fizzy drink: while I was pregnant and had stomach upset, Doctor advised crisps and flat coke. (Moderately effective). Also heard that advised for travellers if you can’t get medication. Curious!
Yes, I agree to most… try to eat whole foods, mainly fruit and veg, grains and legumes BUT don’t eat meat (since 1980) and after menopause, can’t eat dairy! Terrible allergy … real allergy, diagnosed! I avoid all the vegan processed substitutes but do use oat milk in baking, mashed potatoes etc. have coffee and tea without any ‘milk’. Some of us can’t avoid it and can’t eat dairy. So it’s all very well to be so righteous… And I work full time so need some convenience …
What’s your go to alcoholic drink Liz? I’m trying to find a alternative to Diet Coke mixer I enjoy with Malibu. Wine spritzers are ok but higher alcohol volume. 🙏🏻
I've been considering ditching my soya milk this year. There's something like 8% soya beans the main ingredient water but I haven't a clue what the other ingredients are. I thought I was having a healthy alternative in being dairy free but it seems not. X
Where Olive oil is concerned, if it's not EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, you're still be dealing with trans-fats just like in your popular cheaper vegetable oils... So perhaps Read Max Lugavere's Genius Foods, because that helped me correct my mistake on the "oh it's olive oil, so it's good..." XD
What about the brand plebiscite plant milks, they are organic and only contain 3 ingredients, they are the best i have found ! Would love your opinion please
I've read recently on the advice of GP....Olive oil should not be cooked at over 180 degrees....as this will burn the oil and result in a trans fat ( bad saturated fat ) !!!
Oat milk. Omg. It's full of rapeseed oil also. I've purchased a lactose free milk, so will try this as my only coffee ☕ of the day 🎉 great 👍 information 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I never eat diet versions of food. Always small amounts of full fat milk, butter, yogurt etc.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you - the make your own spreadable butter tip is ace - can't wait to try it
Hope you like it!
Thank you Liz. Telling it how it is, with regards to Oat Milk, white chocolate and spreads. I’m guilty of a fizzy drink, I’m not perfect. I love your explanation and knowledge too. ❤

I agree totally with you liz ,love all your little tips and ideas especially mixing olive oil with the butter
Cant get enough of your channel x

Sounds great!
If you have the time..make your own everything..sad, but the safest nowadays..😢❤
Yes, cooking from scratch means you know exactly what's inside your meals!
Thank you for the great advice 💜

We think full-fat always tastes better!

The full fat foods are far more healthy than the low fat artificial versions.
Good advice, thanks Liz. i didn't know about white chocolate. I don't use any spreads on bread.
You are so welcome!
Thank you! Very informative :)
You're welcome ❤️
How does this work Liz as a carton of real milk looks as if it has more sugar can you explain?
Ohh, I love the butter/olive oil spread idea! I stopped using oat milk when I realised what it did to my blood sugar first thing in the morning.
❤️
Didn’t know rapeseed oil is bad. I’ve used it for cooking for years.
What would be a healthier alternative?
I’ve asked the same question? How is it bad?

In my world milk needs to come from something with 4 legs…..cow, goat, sheep etc, 😂😂😂 Proud to say I don’t eat anything on your list.
Go you 🙌

Canned coconut milk. No fillers, healthier than boxed.
My grocery sells Silk, a heavy cream type product for my coffee made of coconut milk. Its all I use now.
my luxury is Lindt 90% dark chocolate, just 2 squares most days but its gone hideously expensive, will take a look at the cooking chocolate.Only eat real butter, use it also for cooking along with lard, dripping, olive oil & occasionally coconut oil - luckily I'm not a fan of fizzy sodas.

Try alpro no added sugar oat milk, it's fine.
It’s not that bad. Don’t listen to the scare mongering.
Thank-you ❤

Thank you Liz.
You are so welcome!
Hello girly, interesting views you have , what’s your thoughts on dried fruits and maybe even doing your own at home.
Dried fruits are often higher in sugar as the water content has been taken away - we prefer eating fresh for that reason!

Flat coke is advised after a tummy upset..or was an old home remedy….don’t think it is now..times change.

We love a kombucha cocktail! Lots of recipes on our Instagram page ❤️

You're welcome! ❤️
Your thoughts on chocolate protein bars x
We'd say to look at the ingredients to make a call on each bar as some are better than others ❤️
I've been considering ditching my soya milk this year. There's something like 8% soya beans the main ingredient water but I haven't a clue what the other ingredients are. I thought I was having a healthy alternative in being dairy free but it seems not. X

Since when did water become unhealthy
