She looks so healthy and energetic. She is glowing! Very inspirational to actually change your life. So many of us talk about it and never do anything.
Very similar story to myself, got rid of most my belongings & live a much simpler life now. I went vegan for ethical reasons, but it had a great impact on my health. I was extremely ill, overweight & my mobility was very limited. But since going 100% plant based, I reversed heart disease, type 2 diabetes & hypertension. I lost 6 stone & my BMI dropped from 36 to 22. Five years later, at 52 I'm in the best shape I've ever been, I'm extremely fit, slim & toned. I now have loads of energy & enjoy gym, yoga, running & cycling :)
I am a follower and love this wonderful woman! My husband and I have a very similar lifestyle We are in our beautiful country house surrounded by olive's trees near Rome! Both 67 years old and look 50! Thanks to fasting mainly and being vegetarian 😊😊😊
I’ve lived in an RV traveling around as a plant based eater for the last 9 years. At almost 65, I still own a modest home with some cherished possessions but I’m keeping it to a minimum. Never happier or free-er! Now I’m adopting Gail‘s attitude towards exercise and fitness! Thanks for being such an incredible motivator Gail!!!😊❤
I’m ready to live a vibrant life. Gail is helping me get to the next level. I had her matcha smoothie bowl this morning and felt so good for most of the day.
I thank you, I watched your videos, I have lost 10 kg already, and thinking wow I can do this, it's easy, intermittent fasting has paved the way for weight loss journey. Slowly getting to my goal healthy lifestyle 🙏🏽😊
Im not down with the whole 'moving to Portugal' and 'crazy long fast' but I do agree with sorting your life out at middle age! Thats the time I started to think about what life was going to be like when I got old and how I could improve my life...
Never to late to go plant based. Done it for over 10 years now, never felt better. But of course it really depends on what kind of plant based food you are eating. Whole foods are the best.
Agree on both counts! Plant-based for the last 10 years and kicking *ss in the gym at 59, BUT, yeah - WHOLE FOODS! After all, french fries are plant-based too! 😉
@andrewlilley3660 I feel sad for you that you have no love for your family ultimately I'm so glad that I spent ny life looking after and I'm still caring for my family save your tears I only feel content ❤️
@@dianekennedy2334 I really don't know how you can contrive that jibberish from what I said, who mentioned family? I was talking about the government, get a grip.
I know, right! I'm not sure that my hubby would go for this, but it would feel great to have fewer things to worry about. It's also a financial risk for alot of people to pick up and move. I guess it's really about what you're willing to do. I love her! She's being true to herself, and that's a beautiful thing! I need to learn how to actually put that into play. Bless you all and any journey that feels good to you!
I think years ago before kids, my husband would have definitely done this. He always talks about getting a camper van. But now with kids in High school and college, he wants to let them finish out and support them, so being in our area and working is important to him. But maybe in the near future we can have some adventure like this!! You may too. It’s all in the timing :)
Of course you can. But it’s inspiring to hear this perspective too. At 53 I’ve also come to the conclusion that all my possessions are actually limiting me

@Susie462 Hi! I’d love to know your reasons why. I’ve been to and loved Portugal, have great friends who are from/have family in Portugal and our trip there was magical. Still, I find Italy calling. What is it for you that makes Italy a disappointment over the lure of Portugal?
Go for you. Plant based diets are so beneficial . We need so many more plants than people realise. Our gut rules so much of our health, physical and mental. Plants are full of fibre. We need fibre for a healthy gut
Portugal, particularly the Algarve has a better climate than Italy. *There is also less crime here* The friendly welcoming people, clean air and fabulous food is also a benefit.
It’s really not terrible, when my n laws died, they never threw anything away, and for what? None of the kids and grandkids wanted any of it. It all got auctioned off so for 88 years they hoarded and had to maintain 3 generations worth of stuff in a two story, 3500 square foot farmhouse, just for it all to be sold in the end. You can’t take it with you.
Yeh, yeh. She obviously had money to move to Portugal. How sad that she had to burn her son's pictures. What a horrible person. Not everyone has money to move to Portugal. Nothing brave about it if you have money. I am 56. I am a wheelchair user so running around Portugal is not an option. I live in a run down council estate. I work 2 cleaning jobs. I make ends meat to give my kids good home cooked meals. I can't afford anything else over and above. We go to foodbank when desperate. I get fresh fruit and veg when I can. We eat a rainbow plate and try to avoid junk. However some nights when there is not anything else I make cheesy pasta so the kids don't go to bed hungary. This woman is no inspiration to me. She is a wealthyish middle class lady . I know what healthy eating is. But I refuse to be inspired by anyone who has no clue how the other half live. She is only relevant to wealthy middle class ladies like herself. She has no clue about the rest of society.
Your right. Not everyone can afford to upsticks and move to Portugal. This is just a dream for most of us. Yes we can eat wonky cheap veg from certain supermarkets in UK but not all of us can jump rope everyday on our sunny balcony !

Congrats , I’m 61 , never felt better , haven’t eaten meat in 40 years .
Well done you! 👏
She is just seems to be a lovely genuine lady .... You see her sweaty .... No make up..... Making lunch .... What a breath of fresh air she is. 💖💖💖💖💖

Me too! And she has a book I may look into getting :)

I could go in a heartbeat
Gorgeous silver grey hair 🤍
So great to see you in this interview.
Excellent! Love your story and follow you daily. I'm 51 and try to start exercising at home, too, but it's hard. Kisses from Greece.

She is the best. Really enjoy her channel
Gail you cheer me! And I bought the jump rope. Yes!!!
I agree that as you get older you realise things arent important its the people you love
All the more easy to rob you, My Dear, see if you can pull the handkerchief from my pocket without my knowing.

Great interview Gail. Fabulous 💖
Congrats to you !! I love your spirit God bless you!!

Happy to hear you love Portugal 🇵🇹

Her husband is absolutely amazing ! I wish my partner of 16 years was the same.

You can be free and still have your possessions, and you can travel and still have belongings.
Of course you can. But it’s inspiring to hear this perspective too. At 53 I’ve also come to the conclusion that all my possessions are actually limiting me

You look fabulous well done you.
I live in Italy, but keep wishing I’d chosen Portugal
@Susie462 Hi! I’d love to know your reasons why. I’ve been to and loved Portugal, have great friends who are from/have family in Portugal and our trip there was magical. Still, I find Italy calling. What is it for you that makes Italy a disappointment over the lure of Portugal?
We have friends from the US that moved to Valencis, but after a year they moved to the Algarve
Very inspirational x
Yay. Plant based!❤
Yeah, the animals eat the plants then we eat the animals, it's a win win.
@@andrewlilley3660this is very old and still such a bad saying😅Not funny and not useful.
what a lovely interview ❤
She looks great!!! ❤
Go for you. Plant based diets are so beneficial . We need so many more plants than people realise. Our gut rules so much of our health, physical and mental. Plants are full of fibre. We need fibre for a healthy gut
Utter nonsense
Yay, love Gail.
Inspirational
Portugal, particularly the Algarve has a better climate than Italy. *There is also less crime here*
The friendly welcoming people, clean air and fabulous food is also a benefit.
love Gail,!! She also has a twin here in Alberta, Canada!! seriously I have a neighbor that looks and sounds just like her! she's wonderful too!!!
So good! I have ordered her book!!
What are plant- based foods? Vegetables?
Yeah. Basically everything but no meat and dairy. The stage after vegetarian.
@@gdaymates431thanks
Is Cat only 5 years younger? Kind of want to hear her secrets?
Nearly 10 years younger, but she does look great though.
Better places to retire, UK not one of them.
That depends, for some uk is fine
@@b.m.t.h.3961 Absolutely, I don't live in the UK I live in England, and I love it.
UK is a dump, plus terrible weather & poor health service
@@conniep3164 Where do you live, you have the advantage, is it Shangrila?
@@andrewlilley3660 yes, Shangrila
Would of had some cash bhind them to do that move and survive
I agree.
They sold everything, so…
@@lwaliz Spot on.
Don’t think she works & this is why she has time for all of this.
Doing well through TH-cam I'm sure😅😅😅@Michelle_Emm
If her husband didnt support her what a different story
Sold everything for a minimalistic live then bought another house and filled it with possessions and started all again.
She is 57 now
How old is she again? 😮
56
@@heidikamrath1951 OK...I thought she was mid 60's and was still impressed at how well she has done and how great she looks..will def follow her
@mimig6511 that's because the colour of her hair. It always ages people.
I think she looks different to her channel
Terrible you were burning things
You must have never tried it.
Why?
If you have to ask why.....I'm gobsmacked. Environment..waste....could go to charity or people with nothing

She's the middle aged version of the aspirational lifestyle folks ruining the mental health of gen z.
You don't need much money to move to a better place...I think you are just...green with envy
Be nice or drive on to another channel.
Your right. Not everyone can afford to upsticks and move to Portugal. This is just a dream for most of us. Yes we can eat wonky cheap veg from certain supermarkets in UK but not all of us can jump rope everyday on our sunny balcony !
You lost me at "influencer".
Influencer is someone online that gives others information
AHH pity, ignorance and staying in the 90s won't serve you well
Well she truly does influence in an amazing way so why playing around with words😅???
Burning your son's artwork. Hmmmm
Hiw long is ok?
Dull
🙄
Oh bore off 😴
Ok, the way she is dressed made me stop watching it
🙄
She has a really fun fashion sense. This outfit is quite different from what I’ve seen on her channel. This is more conservative and not as youthful.
Yes, why did she choose this dull outfit?
Be nice or go away. @@conniep3164
Be nice or drive on.
