Liezl Jayne Strydom hey 🙋🏻have you ever done a video that shows what your food shopping lists look like I would love to see what you have on hand at all times to create the dishes
Well at first i went to see my nutricionist when i was at 73 kg and he made my diet plan but because i was really picky i was eating only a few things for couple of months when i lost first 20 pounds then started eating healthier up to 1200 kcal per day and now i started working out and the main thing is to stay motivated and don't stop if you don't see results by yourself at the beginning and just to eat healthy.If you try so many different diets when you starve yourself you results are not going to ger long terms results
T Hi I would like to know what you ate during this time if that's okay cause I too am picky and I eat the same thing constantly and I don't know much to eat that'll aid in my goal to lose weight. (roughly 40 pounds)
Yes, same, I love that 👌 it’s hard with some other youtubers who are chicken, salmon and egg heavy, but at first I was like is she vegan lol, but I love that they are easy to follow and that chicken part is so easy to replace 👌
Almost every fitness/healthy living channel I've come across that shares recipes like this require ingredients that I rarely if ever buy (examples: salmon, capers, random herbs/spices/oils of which you can't simply buy a small amount, etc.). It's startlingly refreshing to see someone sharing healthy recipes which use ingredients the average poor schmuck like me can buy without worrying about the expense or that some of it might go to waste. Thank you!
Try to eat less carbs, more on vegies, meat, fish and fruits that are not that sweet...avoid sugar, and sweet foods and drink lemon water if u are not acidic...my daughter was 80kls after 3mos she lose 8kg. But her waist before her diet is 84cm after 3mos 68cm..it is obvious that she lose weight but not literally the weight because she has a lot of muscles...she lose a lot of fats...she only eat few vegies like mushroom, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, potato, cabbage..you dont need to put a lot of condiments, just salt & pepper but u can add other if u want..
what weight were you at do you mind me asking? I am a male at 230 now and my fiance found stretch marks, i have plenty of muscle but put on way too much fat on stomach and legs and she found stretch marks which made me very sad being a 24 YO male. so I am dedicating self back into gym and n trying new healthy foods
I was thinking the same thing. I think people go for the orange sweet potatoes because of the beta carotene and they are more nutrient rich. So they are more readily available.
The funny thing is that i watch soooo many videos like this and im like""from tomorrow im gonna be healthy"" and the next day im like""hmm... let me just eat this doughnut""😂😂😂
nuahahahahha. so it happens to me. I start every single Monday. So yesterday I went food shopping and I was going to stop by and grab some food. I caught myself. I was like noo BOO , go home and prepare something.
Hi, I'm one of your older viewers and I would just like to thank you for being such an inspiration to me. Watching your videos has inspired me to look after myself more, to endeavour to become healthier, fitter, look and feel more youthful. More importantly, to realise it's not too late to make the changes if you just put your mind to it, plus I'm having fun doing it. Thank you Liezle xxx
I’d never thought of using instant coffee in a smoothie! The whole reason I don’t drink smoothies in the morning is bc I usually prefer coffee and to have both would be too filling. Thanks for the tip, can’t wait to try it!
There are so many weight loss videos out there, but with you I feel like I can really relate. You’re such a humble, nice girl. I love watching your videos
I like the simplicity of everything here! I feel like the secret is not fancy/expensive ingredients but just eating more creatively (using produce in a well balanced, satisfying way)- I can feel myself getting full just LOOKING at these meals 😂💕

This was great, I've been looking for "low carb cycle menu" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Nantray Carb Caboodle - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
I’m 5 ft 2 inches as well! My goal is also to lose 30 pounds, hopefully in 3 weeks just like you! I’ve already lost 5 pounds so far. Thank you for sharing these meal ideas, it hasn’t been easy finding the best meals to make with low calories! Much love 💜
Her disclaimers surprised me. Part of them say : “Please note that you should be in a healthy state before you decide to follow a new way of eating, or a calorie restricted diet.” I agree with that. She goes on to say : “This eating plan .... is only intended as inspiration for women who are already in a healthy state....” She says something similar for her fitness disclaimer. ALREADY in a healthy state? If I was ALREADY in a healthy state, I wouldn’t need to watch diet and fitness videos, would I?
Most likely healthy state means mental/emotional related to disordered eating! It’s likely that people searching for weight loss could have unhealthy relationships with bodies. Also, if you have health issues, it’s good to check with doctor or dietician before making drastic changes. 🙂
ive lost weight .... struggled n starved for a long time for little reward until i found you hee hee and ive switched to your recipes n ate a little more than i used too n lost some ...your a absolute star ....thankyou for sharing youve helped me and i bet many others ....cant get on bored with all the nut butters but a couple i dont mind 😇 thanks again ....
Love your recipes and u r inspirational This girl has really got her shit together. I wake up like 'wait...what...who am I?' Then I barely throw some oats in a pan, usually burn them while I'm trying to simultaneously put my make up on, feed the cat and do my hair. Then I go to work and pretty much Postpone exercise continuously throughout the day, try and do the housework and procrastinate about buying avocados because they are so expensive. I wish I had my shit together like Liezl,....one day!
I just want to make sure you know this: You've helped me a looot.. I've always been a bit overweight and no diet worked. I'm pretty tall and a bit active (a bit more, depends of the day) so the diets made it even worse. Since I've discovered your channel, not only that I found new recipes (you're so creative, and I really lack inspiration when it comes about cooking so.. you're my inspiration I guess, sorry if that sounds typical but it's the truth) but they are really really really tasty and I find them tastier than other processed foods (kfc, mcdonalds, etc) So please, keep on with the good work! You're the best. I can't stop watching your videos ❤❤
I tried the breakfast smoothie this morning, oh my god. It is f*cking amazing. I'm 7 months into my weightloss journey and i'm 7kg down!! Thanks Liezl. You're awesome!
Thank you so much for posting these videos. They are such a tremendous help to people trying to lose weight the healthy way! I love your ideas and am implementing them into my lifestyle everyday! Please don't stop posting! THANK YOU!
Younger generations are so much smarter than my generation who were & still are ignorant of the benefits of REAL food vs processed meal deliveries, Adkins & fat-free diets. Thankfully, we're catching on and hopefully, we're sharing the health benefits of intermittent fasting as well.
I tried your breakfast smoothies exact recipe and wow! So delicious and filling. Especially when you don’t have time to make a big breakfast in the morning. Tip: I’ve found when you add just a pinch of pink Himalayan salt it really brings out the flavors! Love your videos 💕
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Ater 2 weeks, I have lost half of the weight I wanted. Your recipes are simple and include many ingredients that I have on hand. I tried a weight loss plan where I was required to purchase a minimum of 2 months of meals for a ridiculously high price. Most of the food was awful and I ended up throwing most of it away. I like that I know exactly what I'm eating and I can make some modifications to suit me. After all the diets I have tried, your plan was the only one that has worked for me.
I started my diet weighing 175 and now I’m 127 lbs. I want to loose 20 more, don’t worry I’m just really short!! This is what I’m watching for motivation on my last 20 pounds!!
I just found you, and I wanted to say you are just so pleasant and approachable. Your recipes are really simple and generally unprocessed, which I appreciate. I also love that you're South African. I'm all the way in Minnesota, United States. Cheers to health from across the world! :)
Good morning!!! I’ve just made the coffee chocolate smoothie . Came out great and tastes great. I’ve been trying to loose 30lbs myself but don’t know how to start without starving myself which i will not do! I will follow some of these recipes especially since the ingredients are simple! 🖤
Kristal Arce you shouldn't starve yourself..it's a long journey..it my take you a year ..you need to find a "diet" that you can keep up for the rest of your life..and just be patient
Just wondering was it taste very strong of banana or nuts? I was thinking adding a bit of vanilla protein powder to sweeten it up because I like things extra sweet. Just wondering what you thought it tasted like 😊
Kristal Arce Try going on MyFitnessPal! I started logging everything I eat through that app on January 7th and as of March 11th I’ve lost 18lbs already! It really helps keep me in check and tells you the levels of nutrients that you’re getting (sodium, fat, carbs etc) It’s free if you don’t do the premium version and it will even tell you if you’re not eating enough each day. I eat about 1400 cal a day (based on my height and weight) and I was sick once and completed my day at only 600cal - the app basically scolded me that U wasn’t eating enough to correctly lose weight that day LOL 😂 It’s foulproof and lets you log meals you frequently eat, and a ton of foods are logged in there. There’s also a scanner to easier log barcodes. Try it :)
Watching you meal prep along with the nutrient/caloric info was super eye-opening! I finally realised how MUCH food I eat, as well as how little I think about the nutrients...
Liezl Jayne Strydom in order to loose weight, do you have to have 4-5 meals a day? I have maximum 3 healthy meals a day, and they keep me full for long
Nice to see a meal plan that doesnt only consist of breakfast plus two salads a day. This looks varied and interesting with a focus on portion control. Surprisingly, I am eating similiar foods and portions right now. I am 5'3 so this is encouraging.
I'm definitely gonna try out these recipes they look super yummy! Also, love the quality of your videos and use of good angles, closeups, lighting, etc. One more thing, my best friend is from Cape Town and gotta love those South African accents hehe
Thank you for using easy to find ingredients. I can’t afford most of the other recipes I’ve seen elsewhere. They are usually expensive or hard to find. Thank you for making filling food with simple. Not over the top ingredients.
I'm going to start being healthy now! I have had so many problems with unhealthy eating in the past, in both extreme ways. I was binge eating a lot and had problems with bulimia and I was eating way to little sometimes. I gained some pounds some weeks ago and started dieting a lot so I went from 63 kg to 57 kg in 2 weeks. (I'm 160 cm btw) But I was constantly stressed about having to eat something (because of my mum who was worried) and counted every single calorie, it drove me insane. Now it's my 2 week without eating sugar, and that's something I definitely want to continue doing, it cleared up my skin and I just feel better. But I will start exercising now and eating a normal amount of food without being upset about myself. I want to have a happy, healthy lifestyle and reach my weight goal in a not stressing way. I hope that everything you guys want to archive comes true, good luck to y'all! And thank you so much for your videos, they help me so much, motivate me and give me inspiration! Have a great day!💕
I know this video is 3 years old but I found it yesterday and I want to thank you so much for your food suggestions. I had the most delicious lunch a little while ago which was a third cup of black beans drained and smashed and I added 1 Tbs of vegetable hummus, 2 cut up cherry tomatoes on one slice of whole-wheat toast, also topped with fresh baby spinach. It was so delicious I never would have thought of it and it is my new go-to I loved it. Thank you. I have subscribed and looking forward to looking at past videos and new ones....Linda
MartySmile they're quite similar vegetables, but sweet potatoes are less starchy, less calorific, have a lower glycemic index number which means your blood sugar stays stable for longer. They're also higher in potassium and beta-carotene than yams are. If you can only find yams, they're still good for you and probably a better option than a normal potato. 😘
Tiffany Simons Very possible, although I lived in South Africa for about five years and never saw sweet potatoes like that. Maybe things have changed since I left. I wasn't trying to prove her wrong, simply asking a question and giving more information to her viewers, we're a community after all. 😊
That looked AMAZING! Glad you included "Salty Options," a lot of people, just do lot's of sweet stuff & I'm always looking for the salty/savory items. I liked & Subscribed. :)
*I was 180 pounds (5'6") in March 2019* Currently, I am 145 pounds now. _(35 pounds over 10 months, I plateaued around Sep at 160) I hope to be around 135 pounds by July next year_ Any Tips?
@@evastood4539 I adjusted my goals to 135 because I came to this realization after I researched furhter. Thankyou for your concern tho, vrey considerate ;)
Hi Liezl!!! I just wanted to tell you that I'm so happy I found your youtube account. I'm eating all your recipes for a week now, and I can see myself get healthier and thinner!!! Thank you so much and keep up the good work! Also, can you maybe make some more week prepping video's? That's so easy and still super delicious!
I’m not trying to lose weight and I don’t need to but I just haven’t felt confident about the amount of sugar and fat I have been eating lately, I searched up healthy snack ideas and I found your video and channel I honestly feel so much better about my eating and I feel much more happy a active😊🥑thankyou leizle Jane!!
Yes, I'm the same. I'm not trying to lose weight, just trying to be healthy. I'm also looking up healthy recipes because I kind of eat the same stuff all the time and I'm looking to add some nutritious elements I'm missing from my diet.
Thank you! I have 30 lbs to lose by the end of May/June. My son is getting married so I have the bridal shower then the wedding. Thank you for your tips!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗
rye bread is very common in Finland and we have many different kinds (kinda see only this kind like in the video on youtube videos that aren't from Finland lol) and putting the rye bread to a toaster really makes it taste good. its a good way to defrost the slice if you wanna keep it in the freezer. idk how it'll work for this sort of rye bread, but in general its worked well for me and is delicious
Already tried out a few recipes from you! They are amazing I really like the things u eat! :D Lost 11 pounds already i will definitely keep going to reach my goal 🤗 Thank u for all the healthy and yummy recipes! Xoxo ☺️
the key is consistency. after a week or two your stomach will start getting used to it. also drinking water helps you digest the food better (more energy!) and stay fuller :)
@@dahlia700 from what I can tell, they don't work. If your stomach is hurting or growling, you can use tums or peppermint or ginger tea to help it, but at that point it's good to just eat something. If you're craving something but you're not hungry, do something else that you enjoy in order to get the dopamine that you usually get fron food. Alot of things that claim to be "detox" or "apetite supressant" are actually laxatives and antacids. Always do your research and be careful.
your portion control is insane! i love high volume foods because i feel like i need to be filling up a ton to be satisfied. i think that learning how to eat in smaller amounts is crucial :-( i wish it was easier to change
Thank you so much for this video...I need to lose a lot more than 30 lbs, however watching this has me feeling a sense of reassurance that it is doable. everything you prepared looks delicious and I cannot wait to try them especially the midday snack because that's where my meal plan falls to crap,.Quick question I'm not a coffee drinker, so can you suggest anything else I could add to the breakfast smoothie? Otherwise, thank you for all other suggestions...they look incredible.
I always come back to your recipes whenever I'm on a cut, its so convenient to have such nice meals that have already had the calories counted! Its also convenient because my cuts are 1400 calories so everything fits perfectly.
Hey guys! Here are the recipes + basic calories per meal on my blog: liezljayne.com/what-i-ate-daily-to-lose-30-lbs-in-12-weeks/
wheres the chicken recipe? I could never find it...
how big are your meal prep containers? the ones you used in your 7day meal prep video. I wanna make sure that I get the right size
Liezl Jayne Strydom hey 🙋🏻have you ever done a video that shows what your food shopping lists look like I would love to see what you have on hand at all times to create the dishes
Liezl Jayne Strydo
what would you replace with the chicken for a vegan on that dinner recipe?
I lost 42 pounds and currently i am 54 kg and so proud of myself and still going😊
can u share wht u did, thnx
share what you did queen
Well at first i went to see my nutricionist when i was at 73 kg and he made my diet plan but because i was really picky i was eating only a few things for couple of months when i lost first 20 pounds then started eating healthier up to 1200 kcal per day and now i started working out and the main thing is to stay motivated and don't stop if you don't see results by yourself at the beginning and just to eat healthy.If you try so many different diets when you starve yourself you results are not going to ger long terms results
For how long did u do that?
T Hi I would like to know what you ate during this time if that's okay cause I too am picky and I eat the same thing constantly and I don't know much to eat that'll aid in my goal to lose weight. (roughly 40 pounds)
I am vegan but I love that even though she isn’t all off her recipes are very plant based and easy to adapt.
You're right! I just thought about swapping the chicken in the last recipe with brown precooked lentils 😊
Rachel Angel or really fine diced tofu!
Yes, same, I love that 👌 it’s hard with some other youtubers who are chicken, salmon and egg heavy, but at first I was like is she vegan lol, but I love that they are easy to follow and that chicken part is so easy to replace 👌
I thought she was vegan this whole time😕
Have you tried Arbonne products and their nutritional plan to 30 days to health?? All vegan products too!
Almost every fitness/healthy living channel I've come across that shares recipes like this require ingredients that I rarely if ever buy (examples: salmon, capers, random herbs/spices/oils of which you can't simply buy a small amount, etc.). It's startlingly refreshing to see someone sharing healthy recipes which use ingredients the average poor schmuck like me can buy without worrying about the expense or that some of it might go to waste.
Thank you!
I agree with you on this. I can afford to eat these meals.

The macadamia nut diet was also another pricey winner!
Try to eat less carbs, more on vegies, meat, fish and fruits that are not that sweet...avoid sugar, and sweet foods and drink lemon water if u are not acidic...my daughter was 80kls after 3mos she lose 8kg. But her waist before her diet is 84cm after 3mos 68cm..it is obvious that she lose weight but not literally the weight because she has a lot of muscles...she lose a lot of fats...she only eat few vegies like mushroom, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, potato, cabbage..you dont need to put a lot of condiments, just salt & pepper but u can add other if u want..
I always have salmon and herbs...tahini not so much (honestly it tastes like crap)
I was stressed after I saw that one bean you left in the bowl.
LOL !!!
JadeLC95 lol 😂 i hate you
I was stressed when I saw that one gulp of smoothie prepared for breakfast 😓
Sameee
Too funny....
I lost 25 pounds on this diet ! Really love everything you do liezl
what weight were you at do you mind me asking? I am a male at 230 now and my fiance found stretch marks, i have plenty of muscle but put on way too much fat on stomach and legs and she found stretch marks which made me very sad being a 24 YO male. so I am dedicating self back into gym and n trying new healthy foods
This exact diet???... how long did it take?
Did you also exercise?
I am going to lose this weight and i’m going to fuel my body correctly
You got this
Yesss!
"i used purple onion cause it's pretty" girl SAME
I have never seen a white sweet potato 🤔
Sherron Gladney really? lol I have white sweet potatoes all the time it’s especially good in soup and breakfast .
In india mostly white are only available
Is it a sweet potato? I was wondering if it was or not lol
Yea, never seen one. I thought I was seeing a white potato
I was thinking the same thing. I think people go for the orange sweet potatoes because of the beta carotene and they are more nutrient rich. So they are more readily available.

Thanks for the meal tips! I've lost 70 pounds and 40 more to go!

How long did it take for you to lose all that weight?

you can leave the pit in the avocado hummus to keep it from going brown. Just place it in the container along with the finished blended dip.
K D thank you! I am going to try that.
A squirt of lemon or lime juice does the trick, too.
Liezl: Puts onion powder in literally everything.
Me: I see you're a woman of culture as well
She'd be a woman of culture if it was yogurt, actually! Rimshot...
Not only onion powder but on top of that chopped onion and chopped green onion in the same tiny bit of food. WOW

OKAY

I eat about 1400 cal a day (based on my height and weight) and I was sick once and completed my day at only 600cal - the app basically scolded me that U wasn’t eating enough to correctly lose weight that day LOL 😂 It’s foulproof and lets you log meals you frequently eat, and a ton of foods are logged in there. There’s also a scanner to easier log barcodes. Try it :)
Katie thank you Katie
Hi. Did you lose the weight?
This is now officially my favourite video on the whole of the internet 🍎
Watching you meal prep along with the nutrient/caloric info was super eye-opening! I finally realised how MUCH food I eat, as well as how little I think about the nutrients...
That smoothie recipe is so so simple but exactly what I needed!
I lost 25 pounds once
Then i gained 40
Welp
And I OOPED
Girl, ME
Lost 50 pounds,gained 60
tragedy of my life
Same
Lost 45. Got pregnant and gained 65. Post pregnancy lost 30 and am still struggling to get back down to 140 even with breastfeeding ugh frustrating
your editing skills are so impressive
My favourite video series❤ I'm so glaad!
YAY!!!! XOXO
Liezl Jayne Strydom in order to loose weight, do you have to have 4-5 meals a day? I have maximum 3 healthy meals a day, and they keep me full for long
Leizl totally deserves 1 million she actually has quality content unlike most TH-camr smh
This is literally how much weight I need to loose and 12 weeks seems like not so long so I will give it a go ! Subscribed !
I cannot believe how easy your recipes look, mostly what we have in our pantry! Thanks for Sharing!!
YOU LEFT ONE BEAN IN THAT BOWL AND IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY
Jenna Bailey lol
Same lmao
LMAO 🤣
I love her recipes but even more than that, I love her voice!!
YUM!! This is motivating me to try and start eating healthier now! Side note: that one lonely little black bean left in the bowl 😂
Sara Law i saw him!! Poor little guy😢
Sara Law lol how did u noticed haha i go backward and check that poor been
Hahaha
Sara Law did you just assume its gender
Dark Wolf really
Nice to see a meal plan that doesnt only consist of breakfast plus two salads a day. This looks varied and interesting with a focus on portion control. Surprisingly, I am eating similiar foods and portions right now. I am 5'3 so this is encouraging.
I'm definitely gonna try out these recipes they look super yummy! Also, love the quality of your videos and use of good angles, closeups, lighting, etc. One more thing, my best friend is from Cape Town and gotta love those South African accents hehe
Thank you for using easy to find ingredients. I can’t afford most of the other recipes I’ve seen elsewhere. They are usually expensive or hard to find. Thank you for making filling food with simple. Not over the top ingredients.
Wow. The black bean recipe is fire!!!! Can’t wait to try the guacamole one now. Yay!!!
I made it too and loved it! Made a big batch for the rest of the week. I added a few red onion slices and oh boy! Yummoliciouosness!
I'm going to start being healthy now! I have had so many problems with unhealthy eating in the past, in both extreme ways. I was binge eating a lot and had problems with bulimia and I was eating way to little sometimes. I gained some pounds some weeks ago and started dieting a lot so I went from 63 kg to 57 kg in 2 weeks. (I'm 160 cm btw) But I was constantly stressed about having to eat something (because of my mum who was worried) and counted every single calorie, it drove me insane. Now it's my 2 week without eating sugar, and that's something I definitely want to continue doing, it cleared up my skin and I just feel better. But I will start exercising now and eating a normal amount of food without being upset about myself. I want to have a happy, healthy lifestyle and reach my weight goal in a not stressing way. I hope that everything you guys want to archive comes true, good luck to y'all! And thank you so much for your videos, they help me so much, motivate me and give me inspiration! Have a great day!💕
Okay even though i already eat all this, I continued to watch because this is so damn calming😂
The smoothie is my absolute favourite!!! Thank you 😊
Love the smoothie idea. Will have to use that. I just started Whole30 myself.
Can not wait for part 3!!
I know this video is 3 years old but I found it yesterday and I want to thank you so much for your food suggestions. I had the most delicious lunch a little while ago which was a third cup of black beans drained and smashed and I added 1 Tbs of vegetable hummus, 2 cut up cherry tomatoes on one slice of whole-wheat toast, also topped with fresh baby spinach. It was so delicious I never would have thought of it and it is my new go-to I loved it. Thank you. I have subscribed and looking forward to looking at past videos and new ones....Linda
What bread did you use?
New subscriber.
I love how specific you are with the recipes.
And your aesthetic is tops! Woolies should pay you 😄
interesting that so many comments are about one freaking being. I am really interested in the chickpea avocado with fresh veggies that looks amazing.
Imagine how they feel about you misspelling/typo "bean" ;)
Best video I’ve seen to answer the question of what to eat to lose weight. Quick, great looking meals!
I'm pretty sure that was a yam and not a sweet potato.. still looks tasty though!
Philippa Wood what is the difference
Sorry i dont eat those i have no idea
MartySmile they're quite similar vegetables, but sweet potatoes are less starchy, less calorific, have a lower glycemic index number which means your blood sugar stays stable for longer. They're also higher in potassium and beta-carotene than yams are.
If you can only find yams, they're still good for you and probably a better option than a normal potato. 😘
Phillipa we call them sweet potatoes where i am from
Tiffany Simons Very possible, although I lived in South Africa for about five years and never saw sweet potatoes like that. Maybe things have changed since I left. I wasn't trying to prove her wrong, simply asking a question and giving more information to her viewers, we're a community after all. 😊
Philippa Wood Yeah maybe they’re different in South Africa. Sweet potatoes in ireland are orange on the inside 😄
Love your easy recipes to make healthy meals. I am a new subscriber of your group of healthy people losing weight responsibly.
I really love your videos💙 you really inspire me to eat healthy 😁
That looked AMAZING! Glad you included "Salty Options," a lot of people, just do lot's of sweet stuff & I'm always looking for the salty/savory items. I liked & Subscribed. :)
3:20 rip to that one bean that got left behind in the bowl 🤦♀️
this channel is a gold mine! love it!!!
*I was 180 pounds (5'6") in March 2019*
Currently, I am 145 pounds now.
_(35 pounds over 10 months, I plateaued around Sep at 160) I hope to be around 135 pounds by July next year_ Any Tips?
Congratulations girl. I'm 145 as well wanting to get to 135 first and then 120 eventually ❤
@@whatsonhermind1768 Good Luck!! I know we can do it.
Congratulations! I found intense excersize to be very helpful
I don’t think getting in the 120s is healthy nor will be sustainable at your height. Your BMI now is fine
@@evastood4539 I adjusted my goals to 135 because I came to this realization after I researched furhter. Thankyou for your concern tho, vrey considerate ;)
Hi Liezl!!! I just wanted to tell you that I'm so happy I found your youtube account. I'm eating all your recipes for a week now, and I can see myself get healthier and thinner!!! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Also, can you maybe make some more week prepping video's? That's so easy and still super delicious!
How much have you loose with this recipe? For how many days plss
Can’t wait to make this smoothie
frozen 2 bananas 2t oats T nut butter t of coffee powder 2t coco powder pinch of cinnamon 1/2 c of water
I’m not trying to lose weight and I don’t need to but I just haven’t felt confident about the amount of sugar and fat I have been eating lately, I searched up healthy snack ideas and I found your video and channel I honestly feel so much better about my eating and I feel much more happy a active😊🥑thankyou leizle Jane!!
Yes, I'm the same. I'm not trying to lose weight, just trying to be healthy. I'm also looking up healthy recipes because I kind of eat the same stuff all the time and I'm looking to add some nutritious elements I'm missing from my diet.
I love the aesthetic of your videos!
Thank you! I have 30 lbs to lose by the end of May/June. My son is getting married so I have the bridal shower then the wedding. Thank you for your tips!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Beth Watson good luck to you !!!
Beth Watson hi. Did you lose any weight?
Beth Watson How did it go?
Did you make it?
Me too...my son's wedding
Wow! The breakfast smoothie is SO good!!! My favourite. Thank you Liezl!
Hi there. Can you freeze rye bread? As I would only want to eat it occasionally and don't want to waste any.
Yes you can :-)
Yes. I keep my rye bread in refrigerator. It lasts for many days.
rye bread is very common in Finland and we have many different kinds (kinda see only this kind like in the video on youtube videos that aren't from Finland lol) and putting the rye bread to a toaster really makes it taste good. its a good way to defrost the slice if you wanna keep it in the freezer. idk how it'll work for this sort of rye bread, but in general its worked well for me and is delicious
Yes!
Best weight loss video ever. Food looks good without adding fake sugars!!!
Already tried out a few recipes from you! They are amazing I really like the things u eat! :D
Lost 11 pounds already i will definitely keep going to reach my goal 🤗
Thank u for all the healthy and yummy recipes!
Xoxo ☺️
Really liked this. The sandwich is mouthwatering, the veggies and dip too! Thanks Liezel!
Me: watching this as I stuff my face with Taco Bell.
Also me:
*FML*
Love that you mention that every body has different requirements!
I wish I could survive off this amount of food. That's why it's so hard for me to lose weight. Lol
the key is consistency. after a week or two your stomach will start getting used to it. also drinking water helps you digest the food better (more energy!) and stay fuller :)
@@katiehasntsleptinyears9621 could we also use appetite suppressant? are these healthy?
@@dahlia700 from what I can tell, they don't work. If your stomach is hurting or growling, you can use tums or peppermint or ginger tea to help it, but at that point it's good to just eat something. If you're craving something but you're not hungry, do something else that you enjoy in order to get the dopamine that you usually get fron food. Alot of things that claim to be "detox" or "apetite supressant" are actually laxatives and antacids. Always do your research and be careful.
katiehasntsleptinyears if your hungry it's because you need more fat
@@bassskirtgirl that's rarely true, but i agree you need more *food*
No bean left behind!! Thanks for the tips!
so triggered by the one black bean you left in the bowl ohmy
I think you should work on that. It's not healthy.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 bitch stfu. Mind your business.
your portion control is insane! i love high volume foods because i feel like i need to be filling up a ton to be satisfied. i think that learning how to eat in smaller amounts is crucial :-( i wish it was easier to change
Thank you so much for this video...I need to lose a lot more than 30 lbs, however watching this has me feeling a sense of reassurance that it is doable. everything you prepared looks delicious and I cannot wait to try them especially the midday snack because that's where my meal plan falls to crap,.Quick question I'm not a coffee drinker, so can you suggest anything else I could add to the breakfast smoothie? Otherwise, thank you for all other suggestions...they look incredible.
Love that sandwich! Will have to try making that! Also love the dip! Dinner recipe looks yummy too 😋
l need to tell my boss l need a snack time at work " Laughs"
I always come back to your recipes whenever I'm on a cut, its so convenient to have such nice meals that have already had the calories counted! Its also convenient because my cuts are 1400 calories so everything fits perfectly.
