One think I stopped doing was saying things like, " I LOVE diet coke" I stopped putting love words on unhealthy foods. This one little trick has helped me so much!!!
The main reason alcohol stalls weight loss is because the liver will always work first on processing it, no matter how few carbs you ate throughout the day. You’ll never get into fat-burning mode because the body is trying to “burn” (process) the alcohol. It of course adds calories (and carbs if you’re having beer or sugary drinks), but the alcohol itself, needing to be processed, is the main reason.
For me: Keto diet with Intermittent Fasting. I gave up gluten,alcohol,grains, processed carbs, seed oils veg oils,most peanut foods except occasional organic peanut butter but pour the oil off, most starches and only after 3.5 years I rarely eat after cooking and 24 hr refrigerating creating RESISTANT starches mostly purple sweet potato and unripe green plaintain. I gave up all fruit for 2 years and now eat only small amounts once a day or every other day like 5-6 raspberries or blueberries or 1/4 grapefruit or 1/4 cup organic cranberries or 2 tablespoons of pomegranate or 1 unripe kiwi or 1/3 or 1/2 of smaller unripe wild crabapple or 1/3 or 1/2 wild unripe dwarf pear ( I eat unripe fruit as it has less fructose but they have all the nutrients and I just add my stevia/Erythritol to sweeten them to taste. Also occasionally very green hard unripe mango I use a potato peeler to make slices to top goat cheese on quality keto toast and the sprinkle the mango with stevia and throw real thin layer Swiss cheese on top. Sometimes embed walnuts or pecans in the goat cheese and sprinkle Ceylon Cinnamon inside this open face sandwich treat. Also gave up all lectins and nightshades for 3 years but now I’m adding deseeded organic tomatoes and yellow & orange deseeded bell peppers back in for the lycopene and the polyphenols. Also adding back in organic beets in smaller portions of cold Borscht to help get more nitric oxide development in my body. I lost the 40 lbs. I needed to.and am maintaining the loss. I’m 70.5 yrs. & diabetic.
Be careful with the electrolyte packets. Especially if you have blood pressure or cardiac issues. 1000mg is a lot because when you think about cooking with salt as well. Cardiac patients usually only can take 2000 mg for example need to be on a low sodium diet. But that one packet has 1000mg. That’s a lot
Salt is great for you, See Dr. DiNicolAntonio, however i just watched steve ekberg yesterday go over electrolyte brands and apparently LMNT failed on a few things, made me sad, I believed in that brand and used it, very tasty.
I told my husband that I truly believed my knee pain was from sugar. I’ve been intermittent fasting and have drastically cut down on sugar. We went to a retirement party and the next day my knee hurt so so bad and the cheesecake and cake I ate at the party were the only things I could say contributed to the pain. Thanks so much for this information.
Thank you! I sing for a living and I’ve noticed a big chance ever since I stopped eating dairy. I noticed my throat is not scratchy any more, thanks to you pointing out that correlation.
most of ya’ll are SOOO miserable on this app. 😐who raised ya’ll?? you could just say “hey, can i offer some feedback? i want to hear you better on your vids but find the music distracting. can you reconsider eliminating or lowering in future videos?” learn manners & U JUST MIGHT GET WHAT YOU WANT.
Omg exactly what I was thinking! Like did y’all even come to listen to the message, or just to criticize her. The background music or her hand movements geez pay attention to HER she’s dropping gems in her videos!! She came in super clearly.
I completely cut soda of any kind unless I'm sick! All I ever drink is water and coffee and have been maintaining that for 13 years. I just don't want it anymore. I also went from putting creamer in my coffee to just putting 2 teaspoons of stevia in it. About 3 years ago I decided to try and see if I could get myself down to black coffee with just a little sweetener in it and i did it.
I know what you are saying is correct. The trouble is my husband eats all this stuff and doesn't have an issue. That would require me making separate meals, so that doesn't work. I will try and cut back on bread (gluten), don't have a problem with pop, don't drink a lot of alcohol, sugar for sure, and I don't eat or drink a lot of dairy. Try to use olive or avocado oil on a regular basis. Thanks!! It makes me more mindful.
I have 37 food allergies and it was a big shock when the doctor handed me the results of the allergy blood test. I already knew I had dairy and gluten allergy but the rest was a big shocker; like lettuce. Although he said I could have some because it was low on the allergy list. There was seasoning, too, like turmeric, black pepper, ginger (powdered and root). It's rough and I'm still going through an elimination process.
I had a similar experience, I took an allergy test at my doctor's office and it came back with 30+ foods I was allergic to. I was shocked and couldn't believe it. Then I checked into a certified clinic where they analyze in detail what you're allergic to, including gut inspection and colposcopy. I spent two full weeks there and the first 5 days they have everyone on a strict rice and potatoes diet to reset your body. The they perform blind tests with several different potential allergy triggers on you (you have to swallow it dissolved in water and you don't know what you're ingesting). I had to journal every day how I felt after the test, had blood test every morning. After two weeks they told me I had a gluten intolerance as well as soy and casein allergy. I'm avoiding these things ever since and no longer suffer from allergy symptoms. TLDR get a second test (preferably a long term, detailed test at a certified clinic) before avoiding 37 foods for the rest of your life.
Tequila for my low-carb diet. Flavored seltzer ( sugar & salt free)Low carb yogurt with almonds,blueberries & strawberries for breakfast & lunch. A sensible dinner with meat ( or fish)and broccoli or cucumbers. Snack less Evil popcorn made with coconut oil. Some days ill add a piece of cheese or carrots and hummus instead of yogurt for lunch. I do love salad and if out have that with blue cheese dressing on the side.
I didn't hear ANY music when listening, so after i finished the video and read some comments I went back and REALLY listened for it, and I could fainly hear it, only when i was listening for it.
I did the same! Don’t know what the others were talking about. But you can get hearing aids that turn down background noises - if you have abnormal hearing balances.
@Jeanneelizabeth It's a fine line with some content creators. It's either too loud for some and okay with others, but what I don't like is when they have music playing and talking over the music. Just stop the music when you're talking, that's all we ask. ❤️
YESs!! Allergies are crazy for me because Dairy!! No one understands this that I don’t have stomach issues but my allergies are off the charts when I eat Dairy!
Hey there! I just wanted to take a moment to say you are a great person. Greatness is determined by service and you are blessing people with this life changing information. I am so grateful I stumbled across your channel last week because I needed to learn more about about what to incorporate into my fitness and health goals. I am on day 2 of implementing your advice. And I am working while binge watching past videos and learning so much from you. I am confident that I will meet my fitness goals within a reasonable amount of time and just a new healthier lifestyle overall. And you have helped me to change the way I view this whole process of getting fit. So thank you Mayra!
I got addicted to sugar again when I was in the hospital for weeks. Trying so hard to stay away from it. The only fake sugar that I can eat is stevia cause they all cause me pain. Thank you Mayra!
In the name of profit, hospitals have the least healthy food on the planet and forget the taste. You might as well be eating prison food. Glad you're back on track.
I’ve been eating ketovore for a bit now, it’s helped me lose more weight. I had the gastric sleeve about 5 months ago and my weight-loss has been slow because I didn’t have a ton to lose. Since I’m super limited to what I can eat anyway, cutting out everything has helped. I try to only eat vegetables that have protein in them,to help with my protein intake, of course only after I eat my meat protein first. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and love everything you have to share! Thank you!
I have been thinking of going Gluten free for my whole family! When I go out to eat I get either water with lemon or unsweetened tea with lemon. I can't give up dairy. I do like Almond milk. But I can't go without my cheeses and creamers. I'm not much of a drinker either. I will have a wine cooler at a party.
Do not go GF and listen to this nonsense! Only people with Celiacs need to be GF. It's a deep rabbit hole you will take years to climb out of. I'm living proof of that.
Just tried a gluten free frozen pizza and it didn’t trigger my reflux. No bloating either. Taste was a bit bland and slightly chewy but totally doable.
I agree with everything she said except for gluten. I can eat gluten and still lose weight. I stopped drinking sodas back in 2006 when i was a sophomore in high school. I never drank alcohol or did street drugs.
I love fizz, too, and couldn't drink water without it. To cut the cost of fizz water, I bought a SodaStream and it's GREAT! LMNT, ice, and lemon juice in a glass, add water fizzed with SodaStream. Yummy and hydrating! Great help in my keto journey!
I'm always surprised that people don't understand that adding syrup, honey, and other sweeteners completely destroys your diet. People also don't realize how snacking on some chips while cooking, or alcohol, and small extra eating between meals DESTROYS results. It should be common knowledge but it isn't. Track your food. Every calorie for a week and see how much you actually take in. It will change your life. Losing weight takes REAL sacrifice. Then eventually it's easy to change your habits.
I don't think that it's not uncommon knowledge. I think the problem is cognitive dissonance which is a psychological state that occurs when someone has conflicting beliefs, ideas, or actions, and experiences discomfort or tension as a result. The answers are so simple that even when they hear or see the truth for what it is they are frozen or stuck Plus our government and how it regulates food and drugs is preventing us from living our best lives. Keeping people sick is far more profitable than if we actually healed people. Which is why achieving health is so hard for so many people.
This list is a great starting point for anyone. The info regarding the half life of seed oils alone is shocking. Our bodies have a very informative feedback loop. All one needs to do is pay attention. Really good info here as always!
As someone with Hashimotos Thyroiditis I was advised by my endocrinologist to eat a gluten-free diet. I also eat as little refined sugar and dairy as possible, also lactose intolerant. Seed oils was another thing she mentioned. I was eating a lot of salads and almost all of the store bought salad dressing contain seed oils. I can definitely tell when I eat too much of these ingredients.
I'm so glad your channel popped up this morning!❤ I've been seeing your Facebook reels for a while, but I sooo prefer TH-cam to Facebook.😊 Yayyyyy, your advice in this video is exactly what I needed to hear!❤
I just bought myself a Soda Stream... not because I love sweetened soda ...but I love seltzer. I also battled IC... and my bladder gets irritated if I do not stay to the alkaline side ... so I drink an ionized high alkaline water... the soda stream helps me have my High alkaline water with as much bubbles as I want! And I can add flavoring to it should I want it to have a hint of a flavor ... without added sugar or artificial sugar. And yup- gluten can cause bloating - and yup... dairy is notorious for causing sinus congestion and allergies- this l learned forty years ago when I ran a health food store. But.... sometimes you just have to have that zero carb tortilla or a low carb Hawaiian roll Lol! It's about finding your own personal balance! You look wonderful as always!
@@truncinesaulsberry9664 you got this! I struggled at first and every day I made it I put X on the calendar day and eventually it wasn't the first thing on my mind in the evening...7 months so far and I don't miss the feeling of what alcohol did at all. good luck!
I’m kinda confused so hope this isn’t a silly question: how would you suggest not eating dairy when you include cream cheese in several of your recipes? Or are you suggesting to cut down on certain forms of dairy?
Good evening: Queens NY. I have been doing low carb; and strength training with wghts. Lost mad inches. Issue: Binging and night eating. So I'm swapping more H2O. PU tumbler filled. Tracking. Wgt. 220. Thank you for the meal plan and EVERYTHING.
When did you start reintroducing these things or did you not cut them out completely? I have noticed a lot of your recipes or even things you buy from Costco contain dairy.
Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration. You mentioned that there's a link to your meal plan in the description but I couldn't see it. Would you mind sharing it please?
Sometimes your weight doesn't change or you gain, but your body composition changed. I listened to a live stream yesterday where they discussed gaining lean muscles which made the scale stay stable or rise. In my own experience, I can flatten my problem areas but my weight stays the same.
Alcohol stalls weight loss in many ways ... Slowed metabolism- Alcohol can slow down your metabolism, making it less efficient at burning fat and breaking down other nutrients. This is because your body prioritizes metabolizing alcohol over other nutrients, like fats, carbs, and proteins. Empty calories- Alcoholic beverages are often high in calories, and mixed drinks can have even more calories due to added sugars and other ingredients. Food cravings- Alcohol can make you feel hungry and crave salty and greasy foods. Alcohol can also impair your judgment, which can lead to unhealthy food choices. Reduced interest in exercise- Drinking too much alcohol can reduce your interest in exercise. Digestive issues- Alcohol can impair digestion and absorption of nutrients, which can affect the metabolism of organs that play a role in weight management. The amount of time it takes your body to metabolize alcohol varies from person to person, and can take up to 36 hours
The sodium content will be good for me because honestly my cardiologist even told me to increase my salt intake because I get dizzy a lot. Even my bloodwork shows I need more salt. 😊 Thank you for sharing LMNT. I just ordered and got my free packets with it. Thank you for your inspiring message.
alcohol is no longer in my life. I had a beer tonight first time of the year, but don't drink it regularly. Don't have a lot of gluten. I stopped eating bagels once in a while. I have a croissant. I just feel like it is small. Don't have sandwiches anymore. I like Diet Coke but I can maybe have one satisfies me and I throw it away large bottles don't work. You're also very young. The one thing that's very difficult is to do what you're doing when you've hit menopause you're fortunate it's not be there yet, but you've had your own battles so thank you.

I hear you. I am totally the same about the diet soda and needing the fizz. I quit for 3 weeks and drank Pellegrino or flavored sparkling water instead. Sadly I started drinking the diet soda again. I need to stop. It bloats my belly. Dr. Mindy Pelz says if you can only do one thing, eliminate the bad oils. How can you have honey or maple syrup on Keto? I love honey. It has been explained that our body sees alcohol as a foreign substance. So it will stop fat burning while it tries to get rid of the alcohol.
I agree with 'making things at home'. Meal prepping or even grocery prepping ;having fresh and organic on hand. Clean eating is so worth it and way less than eating out. Besides fast food had really become out of touch with inflation. (two orders of egg rolls& 1 order veggie fried rice was $45 dollars in Minneapolis! ) I nearly choked. But it shamed me to get on the plan and stick to it. Steak and a mini salad is so much more spending$ on a $25 Porterhouse steak to split with hubby. God bless you Mya and happy fall, whatever that looks like in your neighborhood.
Veggie oil is not good for you, but SOME seed oil are are very good for you in moderation and if it is good quality. Olive Oil Coconut Oil Avocado Oil Chia Seed Oil
You look really young, so my friend wasn’t interested in following you as she said you were too young (we’re in our 40’s & it’s a different fight at this age). However, in this video you said you have kept the weight off for 15 years & you look like an adult in the ‘before’ photos. Sooo… I am thinking you have some clout in this weight loss war!? You may look like a youngster, but you have some years under your belt! Respect 🫡 Even more inspiring!!!
Cultures that are lactose intolerant all have some form of feta, cottage or processed cheese, wich allows them to access the nutrients without the allergies.
Here’s an idea for you. I add LMNT to plain sparkling water (I like Liquid Death). I’m a bubbles girl too. I know that LMNT has a sparkling water also, but it is so expensive. And they have only 2 flavors I like.
Gluten is so hard and expensive to maintain out of your diet. But definitely sparkling water is amazing! Thankfully I’ve never enjoyed alcohol so that’s an easy one for me.
I have to give up dairy again! I’ve lost 14 lbs., but I’m still puffy. I did eliminate dairy & gluten together in 2017 for about 3 years. I was starving all day. 😵💫 I need tips please. 😘
Question…. You just did a pumpkin cinnamon rolls recipe with low carb tortillas the other day. If you have given up gluten, then how are you eating those?
This video is about what she gave up when she was losing the weight and what helped her. She is not losing weight anymore. She is maintaining now. That’s why she uses that stuff in her recipes now.
When I want something fizzy to drink, I have carbonated water with lemon, and it's enough for me. I only drink this when I'm having a meal, usually only once every couple of weeks or so. I was never one to drink soda all the time before I went keto, so it's not been the adjustment for me that it's been for others. Just a suggestion.
1. GLUTEN
2.SOFT DRINKS
3.DAIRY
4.SUGAR
5.ALCOHOL
You are welcome!!
Not all heroes wear capes 👏🏽
Thanks
Thank You , you are appreciated :) 😘
Appreciate you bro
How? She puts cream cheese in so many recipes!!!
1. Gluten
2. Sodas
3. Dairy
4. Seed oils
5. Sugar
6. Alcohol
Actually, there were 6 of them. But all essential.
Thank YOU Myra.
7. Chewing Gum. It puts unnecessary extra air (just like soda gasses) into our our chest and stomach that can bloat us .

The main reason alcohol stalls weight loss is because the liver will always work first on processing it, no matter how few carbs you ate throughout the day. You’ll never get into fat-burning mode because the body is trying to “burn” (process) the alcohol. It of course adds calories (and carbs if you’re having beer or sugary drinks), but the alcohol itself, needing to be processed, is the main reason.

So what do you eat?
Yeah and what did you sauté or cook with? I guess no fried food too?
What do u eat?
I give you so much credit wow! I am a very healthy person but Don't know if could go that extreme 🙃
Be careful with the electrolyte packets. Especially if you have blood pressure or cardiac issues. 1000mg is a lot because when you think about cooking with salt as well. Cardiac patients usually only can take 2000 mg for example need to be on a low sodium diet. But that one packet has 1000mg. That’s a lot
That's what I was thinking too! Glad you pointed that out...
It also depends on the type of salt that you use. Table salt is a no no. Celtic salt is best.
Just a pinch of celtic salt in your water should do it.
Yeah way too much for me.
Salt is great for you, See Dr. DiNicolAntonio, however i just watched steve ekberg yesterday go over electrolyte brands and apparently LMNT failed on a few things, made me sad, I believed in that brand and used it, very tasty.

Vegan cheese maybe?

This list is a great starting point for anyone. The info regarding the half life of seed oils alone is shocking. Our bodies have a very informative feedback loop. All one needs to do is pay attention.
Really good info here as always!
I completely given up oils except good quality olive oil and avacado oil.
I feel you girl. I was a Diet Coke girl for 20 years🤦♀️ and I switched to club soda for to replace the fizz as well. Thanks for this. Mayra❤️
As someone with Hashimotos Thyroiditis I was advised by my endocrinologist to eat a gluten-free diet. I also eat as little refined sugar and dairy as possible, also lactose intolerant. Seed oils was another thing she mentioned. I was eating a lot of salads and almost all of the store bought salad dressing contain seed oils. I can definitely tell when I eat too much of these ingredients.
I'm so glad your channel popped up this morning!❤ I've been seeing your Facebook reels for a while, but I sooo prefer TH-cam to Facebook.😊 Yayyyyy, your advice in this video is exactly what I needed to hear!❤
What kind of oil is best?
Should the meat be organic?
What about dairy is there substitutions?
I just bought myself a Soda Stream... not because I love sweetened soda ...but I love seltzer. I also battled IC... and my bladder gets irritated if I do not stay to the alkaline side ... so I drink an ionized high alkaline water... the soda stream helps me have my
High alkaline water with as much bubbles as I want! And I can add flavoring to it should I want it to have a hint of a flavor ... without added sugar or artificial sugar.
And yup- gluten can cause bloating - and yup... dairy is notorious for causing sinus congestion and allergies- this l learned forty years ago when I ran a health food store.
But.... sometimes you just have to have that zero carb tortilla or a low carb Hawaiian roll Lol!
It's about finding your own personal balance!
You look wonderful as always!
I c is a nite mate of suffering I'm coming out of it
Thank you so much for sharing your advice. Love from Puerto Rico ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos and advice!
Gluten, dairy and sugar is so hard for me. Ugh. But Thankyou. I was on this type of plan 10 years ago and I was at my dream weight ❤️🙏
Learning how giving up gluten would do away with my joint pain has been a game changer. I'll have to try giving up dairy, mostly cheese.
Thank you, your videos are so informative. Plus I love the healthy nutritional ideas you share
I did enjoy the video and appreciate your contributions to helping us all be healthier. Thank you for sharing.
Love this video , thank you. What do you use to sweeten your coffee?
Great video . Thanks for sharing your journey ! Alcohol free for 2 years now!
No alcohol in14 years,don't miss it
8 for me ,,
It's been 17 days for me and today I'm struggling
So proud of and for you hope to say that too
U can do it
@@truncinesaulsberry9664 you got this! I struggled at first and every day I made it I put X on the calendar day and eventually it wasn't the first thing on my mind in the evening...7 months so far and I don't miss the feeling of what alcohol did at all. good luck!
Olive oil......good or bad
Olive oil and avocado oil are better. Ghee and butter grass fed, grass finished is best.
@@TheLuxhippie and lard even better if you have access to it.
I’m kinda confused so hope this isn’t a silly question: how would you suggest not eating dairy when you include cream cheese in several of your recipes? Or are you suggesting to cut down on certain forms of dairy?
Cream cheese isn’t as heavy for your stomach
You look fabulous. Thanks for all the good information.
I think it’s really important to clarify that cutting gluten doesn’t mean cutting carbs
I just saw you on "Selling The OC" Your home is/was gorgeous!!
How do you feel about olive oil? It isn’t a seed oil and it’s a monounsaturated fat. I always portion it, when I use it.
Olive oil is very very healthy for you. A necessary, healthy fat in appropriate portions!
Thank you for the advice. I am diabetic and this will help us folks too. Stay blessed!
Thank you , you are my virtual friend who gives honest advice ❤
Good evening: Queens NY. I have been doing low carb; and strength training with wghts. Lost mad inches. Issue: Binging and night eating. So I'm swapping more H2O. PU tumbler filled. Tracking. Wgt. 220. Thank you for the meal plan and EVERYTHING.
This was motivating and encouraging 👏👏👏👏thank you!
Along with gluten I also have to say processed gluten free products. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It is so helpful to so many!
No alcohol no problem.
Thanks for the video 🙏if you drink once a week is that okay?
I actually like the choice of music you used here… was very soothing.
What is better Diet Coke or Coke Zero? Is there a difference?
I wish I knew the difference
Pepsi Zero
I believe Coke Zero also means no caffeine and diet coke contains caffeine
When did you start reintroducing these things or did you not cut them out completely? I have noticed a lot of your recipes or even things you buy from Costco contain dairy.
They're be nothing left to eat if you followed all of her suggestions. Perhaps that's why she hocks so many supplements.
Great videos, great channel, great cooking tips and meals.
Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration. You mentioned that there's a link to your meal plan in the description but I couldn't see it. Would you mind sharing it please?
Sometimes your weight doesn't change or you gain, but your body composition changed. I listened to a live stream yesterday where they discussed gaining lean muscles which made the scale stay stable or rise. In my own experience, I can flatten my problem areas but my weight stays the same.
You’re amazing!
Thank you for this!
Thank you..
I have lost 15 pounds already and I really appreciate you sharing and enjoy your videos very helpful.
Thank you!! This was helpful to me !
Alcohol stalls weight loss in many ways ...
Slowed metabolism- Alcohol can slow down your metabolism, making it less efficient at burning fat and breaking down other nutrients. This is because your body prioritizes metabolizing alcohol over other nutrients, like fats, carbs, and proteins.
Empty calories- Alcoholic beverages are often high in calories, and mixed drinks can have even more calories due to added sugars and other ingredients.
Food cravings- Alcohol can make you feel hungry and crave salty and greasy foods. Alcohol can also impair your judgment, which can lead to unhealthy food choices.
Reduced interest in exercise- Drinking too much alcohol can reduce your interest in exercise.
Digestive issues- Alcohol can impair digestion and absorption of nutrients, which can affect the metabolism of organs that play a role in weight management.
The amount of time it takes your body to metabolize alcohol varies from person to person, and can take up to 36 hours
The sodium content will be good for me because honestly my cardiologist even told me to increase my salt intake because I get dizzy a lot. Even my bloodwork shows I need more salt. 😊 Thank you for sharing LMNT. I just ordered and got my free packets with it. Thank you for your inspiring message.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge😊
This is spot on! Thank you!
All of what you said makes sense. Enjoy your videos!
alcohol is no longer in my life. I had a beer tonight first time of the year, but don't drink it regularly. Don't have a lot of gluten. I stopped eating bagels once in a while. I have a croissant. I just feel like it is small. Don't have sandwiches anymore. I like Diet Coke but I can maybe have one satisfies me and I throw it away large bottles don't work. You're also very young. The one thing that's very difficult is to do what you're doing when you've hit menopause you're fortunate it's not be there yet, but you've had your own battles so thank you.

I gave up Diet Pepsi a year ago. My question is isn’t that a lot of sodium in the element? I’ve been doing crystal light.
I hear you. I am totally the same about the diet soda and needing the fizz. I quit for 3 weeks and drank Pellegrino or flavored sparkling water instead. Sadly I started drinking the diet soda again. I need to stop. It bloats my belly. Dr. Mindy Pelz says if you can only do one thing, eliminate the bad oils. How can you have honey or maple syrup on Keto? I love honey. It has been explained that our body sees alcohol as a foreign substance. So it will stop fat burning while it tries to get rid of the alcohol.
Yup subscribed , liked and shared. LOVE all your content!
If you cut out dairy, what do you use in place of butter? Could you let me know the name of the alternative butter you use. Thank you
I agree with 'making things at home'. Meal prepping or even grocery prepping ;having fresh and organic on hand. Clean eating is so worth it and way less than eating out. Besides fast food had really become out of touch with inflation. (two orders of egg rolls& 1 order veggie fried rice was $45 dollars in Minneapolis! ) I nearly choked. But it shamed me to get on the plan and stick to it. Steak and a mini salad is so much more spending$ on a $25 Porterhouse steak to split with hubby. God bless you Mya and happy fall, whatever that looks like in your neighborhood.
Veggie oil is not good for you, but SOME seed oil are are very good for you in moderation and if it is good quality.
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Avocado Oil
Chia Seed Oil
Thanks for the summary
Water kefir is sparkling on second ferment 😊
You look really young, so my friend wasn’t interested in following you as she said you were too young (we’re in our 40’s & it’s a different fight at this age). However, in this video you said you have kept the weight off for 15 years & you look like an adult in the ‘before’ photos. Sooo… I am thinking you have some clout in this weight loss war!? You may look like a youngster, but you have some years under your belt! Respect 🫡
Even more inspiring!!!
Your pizzas have cheese... when you say you cut out dairy....what about the cheese?
Cultures that are lactose intolerant all have some form of feta, cottage or processed cheese, wich allows them to access the nutrients without the allergies.
Gluten
Soft drinks
Sometimes alcohol
Went bk to nonfat dairy
Thanks for everything!!
So I’m uncertain, do you eat basically a keto diet? Or some version of that? Thank you.
Here’s an idea for you. I add LMNT to plain sparkling water (I like Liquid Death). I’m a bubbles girl too. I know that LMNT has a sparkling water also, but it is so expensive. And they have only 2 flavors I like.
Gratis sugar-free wine
Peach vodka has zero carbs
Do you have a recipe for a non alcoholic sugar free margarita? It’s one of my favorite things ever 💕💕💕
Gluten is so hard and expensive to maintain out of your diet. But definitely sparkling water is amazing! Thankfully I’ve never enjoyed alcohol so that’s an easy one for me.
I have to give up dairy again! I’ve lost 14 lbs., but I’m still puffy.
I did eliminate dairy & gluten together in 2017 for about 3 years. I was starving all day. 😵💫
I need tips please. 😘
What's wrong with Coke Zero?
I have the same allergies when I consume dairy. It’s so amazing, after taking allergy meds for years, i quit dairy and BAM!! Clear breathing. 🎉
The only thing about Sugars is, that the only substitute one I like is the most expensive one, Monkfruit Sweetener!😬
Question…. You just did a pumpkin cinnamon rolls recipe with low carb tortillas the other day. If you have given up gluten, then how are you eating those?
Used cream cheese too, didn't it? But she gave up dairy??
@@margeebechyne8642 Yes, it used cream cheese as well….
This video is about what she gave up when she was losing the weight and what helped her. She is not losing weight anymore. She is maintaining now. That’s why she uses that stuff in her recipes now.
She’s selling element, not telling the truth
@@LeslieKnope4Pres You need to listen to her again. FIrst thing she says is this video is about the 5 foods she gave up TO STAY LEAN.
When I want something fizzy to drink, I have carbonated water with lemon, and it's enough for me. I only drink this when I'm having a meal, usually only once every couple of weeks or so. I was never one to drink soda all the time before I went keto, so it's not been the adjustment for me that it's been for others. Just a suggestion.
Thks dear this is helpful luv u 💕🙌🏻
I’m waiting on my LMNT in the mail rn. The chilli mango is top tier.
