I lost weight quickly over 6 months on a low carb diet about 15lbs but still ate 2 slices of rye bread per day, 2 very small portions of pasta per week (no rice) and no eating after dinner until the next day for breakfast. You don’t have to deprive yourself of carbs completely.
Great job! have a great weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Retired at 56. Found intermittent fasting early on. One meal a day once weekly. Twice a year go 48 hours fasting. Try to skip breakfast and eat in a 9 hour window, all my meals. Don't eat anything after supper, ever. This helped my reflux so amazingly. Lost 15 pounds so far and lots less inflammation in my body.
Feel like I'm 30 inside as a 60 year old.
Nice work! less inflammation another added plus , congratulations 👏 on your weight loss Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
No offence taken LOL 😂we know that , that’s why we are trying to eat less Cheers 🍷🙂🌺
In our early 70s.. We've started fasting and Keto because husband has just been diagnosed with Stage 3 C. Our blood pressure and weight are suddenly perfect after always being too high. But we're doing it for the cancer. We're keto for life now, but we'll let you know if we succeeded beating the big bad C with fasting, exercise, meditation and other alternative therapies. 💗
Thanks for sharing we do wish you all the best for your Husbands health to improve have a lovely weekend 🌺
My wife and I just love you guys. We retired January 2023, now living in Cuenca, Ecuador. We have been doing intermittent fasting over 2 years now. We have both lost a lot of weight. We eat as many calories just in a smaller window. We also have given up processed foods and commercial breads.The beautiful city we are now living in has great public transportation at an affordable cost. Residents travel on the tranvia (light rail) for seventeen cents. We are currently renting a modern apartment in an elevated building with 24 hour security. We are here 7 months now and love it, it feels like home.
Sounds great that you have both lost weight we wish you well in your new place Cheers 🙂🌺
I used to be hypoglycemic and wanted food the minute my feet hit the floor in the morning. I have done intermittent fasting, avoiding sugar, and wheat. I lost 22 lbs and my pain level is down. We are 73 and doing pretty well. Two meals is good for us. We eat at 5 pm and then 11 or 12 brunch . We have coffee early morning. I am so happy, I no longer need food every three hours.
Thanks for sharing! sounds great definitely the coffee ☕️ in the morning maybe is the secret LOL 😂Cheers 🙂☕️🌺
You are spot on, 2 years ago age 62, I had a general check up and was told I’m straight in as type 2 diabetic. I changed my diet immediately and stoped all carbs and sugars. Went from processed foods to all fresh and home cooked meat, fish, veg and salads. Including exercise. After 3 months my diabetes graph dropped off the cliff and I was below normal but I continued with the diet and 2 years on a still normal reading for blood sugar. I’m used to the diet and don’t miss any carbs at all. Agree with all you do.
That’s amazing congrats
I'm 60 and Low carb with time restricted eating over the last three years has been absolutely liberating for me! Basically at some point in the next 60 years I will die but until then I plan to have all the same faculties and quality of life.
Great to hear about your positive experience John, very encouraging!
I started intermittent fasting two years ago-eat from 2 pm til 7 pm-and lost 40 pounds. Once you get into it your body feels so much better. Thanks for posting!
That’s great Frank that’s a great weight loss Cheers 🌺🙂
You are so right that health makes all the difference in retirement. We are careful to avoid sugar and processed foods but my husband has bone problems in his ankles so can no longer walk. The cobblestone streets in Europe are impossible for him so we’ve altered our travel plans. Hiking is out. I’m disappointed but am thankful for the traveling we did when we were young.
Thanks for sharing sorry to hear about your husband’s health , yes sometimes plans need to be adapted when we have health issues , it’s unfortunately one of the curve balls we get in life . Have a nice weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
First let me compliment on your channel. Everyone else is talking money in retirement and you are talking common sense. We could use more of that out here. We have always have believed health first and the rest shall follow. This is what separates yours from the others.Please ! Keep it up.
By the way your coordinating of colors with your lighting is top notch.
Thank you for your lovely compliments Neal , have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🙂☕️
You are absolutely right, too many retirees neglect their health. I am 78 and we go for a challenging bike ride or hike just about every day - it is important to exercise hard enough to be short of breath and muscles complaining. We don't buy processed food at all, everything is from raw ingredients, I even make our own pasta using a machine, a hundred grams of flour and an egg. We eat a bowl of mixed fruit for breakfast and after every meal. As a result, and a bit of luck, we are both in great health, no aches and pains or stiff joints and plenty of energy.
Sounds great and thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🌺🙂
Out of curiosity…as you sound very fit….did you have desk jobs or another type of more physical job? I am well into what will be 38 years of sitting and concerned about the long term health impact of that.
@@cfyfe7168 We both had sedentary jobs. When I was fifty we were both overweight, smokers and very unfit. We bought a couple of cheap bikes, at first we struggled to ride around the local park but gradually extended it to full days then weekends then touring every holiday. We also started cycling or jogging before work. When we retired we took our bikes to Europe every year and toured a different country each time, Denmark, Holland, Italy, France, Down the Danube, Switzerland. I am very fortunate that my wife is just as keen as me on this lifestyle.
Great job guys. We started a low carb Keto diet back in February and it has done wonders. I am no longer diabetic and have lost over 40 lbs. We are concerned about mobility as we get into our 60's. OMAD is also helping us. It took us a few months to transition to one meal a day but we like it. Keep up the good work guys!
Congratulations 👏 that’s wonderful 40 lbs thanks for watching have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🙂☕️
Financial, health, spiritual, and relationships for me.
We have not retired yet … however, yes 🙌 we are having OMAD as well!
What is OMAD?
One Meal A Day !
All good advice. We just morphed into two meals since retiring, as we usually work out by biking/machines 3-4 days per week in the morning. So first meal between 11-12, then dinner about 7 with minimal snacking in between or after. So fasting 12-15 hours. Feels good, weights are pretty good and stable. Mostly fresh food, low starch, no processed food, rare sweets. Also eating out rarely compared to before retirement.
Just back from 4 weeks in Europe, lots of walking, also late breakfast, and then modest evening meal. We often share one salad and one entree to avoid the restaurant glut when eating out due to necessity. Rare desert usually shared.
Money can’t buy health once you get past the basics.
Thanks for sharing if we eat out we often share a meal as well not about the cost but about eating too bigger portions.Hope you have a great weekend Cheers 🙂🌺🌞
I'm pretty much doing the same here and it works so far, even with a 14-day cruise in between. Eight pounds less, five more to go! Feel great! Counting days for retirement 🙏🙏🙏
Sounds great! yes when on vacation you can bend the rules and have treats , go back to normal when you are home Cheers 🌺🙂
Without good health, nothing else matters. I've been fasting eighteen hours a day since 2019, and it's made a hugh difference in both my mental and physical health.
That’s great to hear Marie we are hoping for the same have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Walking is great!
Great episode guys! I couldn’t agree more with your points in this episode. Exercise daily! A walk is great! Eat more protein and I’m a huge believer in just drinking more water and black coffee in the morning and eating between noon and 6pm…or close to that… I’ve lost 30lbs in 6 months and I feel so much better. Also, if anyone cares, give up alcohol. It’s the single best thing you can do in retirement for your health. (In my humble opinion)👍👍👍
Sounds great Derek thanks for your story ( working on the Alcohol bit) we do like the 2 meals a day though Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Excellent!
My parents gave up salt when I was 2 and butter when I was 5, and I used to joke that by the time I went to college, they were living on sawdust and spring water... and were thinking of giving up the sawdust for health reasons! It stood them in good stead; my Dad lived way beyond predictions (which I am eternally grateful for), but the early deprivation unintentionally left me with issues.... Good for you taking good care of yourselves, but stay on the right side of that line!
Thanks for sharing your story we are looking at a lifestyle change and so far it’s ok 👍 Cheers 🌺🙂
Brilliant advice Tina and Norm, retirement is not all about the money. Your health is undoubtedly your wealth. We’ve been working on that as well since we retired. Protein smoothies are our go to now for breakfast, not before 0900. Coconut milk, protein powder, avocado, spinach, almonds, turmeric, frozen berries
Wow that sounds so delicious Louise , yes we agree you can have all the money 💰 in the world 🌍 but without health you can’t enjoy it Cheers 🍷🙂☕️
Good advice for any age! Without good health you have nothing. I retired a couple of months ago and now eat twice a day. I no longer have to get up at 5:30 am or have an assigned lunchtime as I did with my job. I also realized I am no longer "stress eating." I eat around 8:30 am and again around 4:30. I might have a small piece of fruit in between if I feel hungry. Going to the gym daily is now in my routine. I am no longer too tired to go. My husband now goes with me. I bought him an ITouch watch to keep track of his heart rate. I think his doctor will be pleased with the results at his next check-up.
Congratulations 👏 on your retirement and yes a great time to focus on your health we wish you well Cheers 🌺🙂👍
Excellent topic. As a retired cancer nurse my motto has always been your health is your wealth. My husband and I have been on a low carb keto diet for 5 years . While we don’t have weight issues we have found that eating two meals per day is more enjoyable and you are correct it gives our bodies a chance to repair itself and relax.
A friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer was told by her oncologist that sugar feeds cancer. Interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it enjoy your weekend Cheers 🌺🙂👍
Your post is terrific…my “replacement”Oncologist (my first relocated out of my area) immediately put me on low carb/no sugar protocol after my breast cancer treatment and radical hysterectomy. My first Oncologist NEVER questioned my diet upon diagnosis and while I was not overweight I was sugar and carb addicted - BIG TIMe! It disappointed me she never questioned my sugar intake. Either way, I’m fitter than ever, feel fantastic, no more debilitating fatigue. Six years after my diagnosis I feel 30 again though I am 58.
@@lizzieb6311 very happy for you! Live everyday to its fullest.
@@caroleanne8529 that is FACT…I have cancer…have eliminated it from my diet and all the carb heavy foods that convert to,sugar.
You two are so right about our health. I make most meals with the least processed food as possible. Sugar is in everything! I am overweight and I know I need to lose weight. Walking is a great activity.
Keep on with the walking , we actually enjoy doing it now Donna Cheers 🍷🙂☕️
You will lose weight if you try Tina and Norm's plan.
Tina & Norm, I grew up on a farm with my grandparents eating potatoes everyday for dinner, supper and sometimes for breakfast. They both lived well over 90 years of age. I am not giving up my potatoes. I love them. LoL
There is nothing wrong with potatoes, maybe just be careful to the quantities, we enjoy a baked potato with salsa and sour cream, it’s a good lunch!
Nailed it. My retirement income streams are set. So I can focus on health. This is so often overlooked, particularly mental health.
Along the lines of your skipping breakfast, intermittent fasting can be an effective strategy,
Often, sugars replace fat. Low fat can mean higher sugar. I’d rather higher fat than higher sugar.
And, carpe idem.
Glad you enjoyed it Murray have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🍷🙂🍻
Health in retirement is definitely very important. We also eat just 2 meals a day and we are satisfied that it is helping us to retain good health. We also like to eat eggs often and salmon (wild caught, of course) and sweet potatoes (less starch than regular ones). Also, if you can find cauliflower crust pizza in your grocery store, you might want to give it a try. The ones we have tried have been pretty good, especially if we add a few peppers, etc. to it! We are looking into the possibility of being more/totally carnivorous for a while, too, to see whether that may help with some of our weight loss. We don't need to lose a lot between us but one of us definitely has further to go than the other, so we both go on the same 'diet' for support.
Sounds great we are finding Wild Caught Salmon 🍣 hard to find most is all farmed , have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
We are finding Wild Caught Salmon 🍣 hard to find most of it is all farmed have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Thanks for sharing we are finding Wild Caught Salmon hard to find , it’s all farmed have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Complex carbs like Ezekiel sprouted grain bread it’s in freezer at Whole Foods etc zero sugar, wild rice or for pasta I love Trader Joes yellow lentil brown rice spaghetti all good carbs!
We used to buy Ezekiel bread at Walmart in the freezer
Found this little video very interesting. Our weight has slowly crept up over the past year so when we get back home after three months travelling we will be cutting down on the carbs and skipping breakfast. It’s hard when you want to try all the yummy food a new country has to offer 😊
You go! I find that when I eat higher protein and fat and cut out the carbs that I really don't get very hungry at all and 2 meals is very do-able. I space mine a little differently though - just because I naturally seem to get hungry around 10a...so I eat around 10a and 2-3p but sometimes I'm not even hungry at 2-3p so I'll skip that meal too occasionally! So it's good for health - and money! Less food = less body fat and less grocery bills :)
Thanks for sharing yes we also find that even when we are due to eat we don’t feel we need to , also saves money 💰 which is great Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
RUSH is a favorite of mine.
One of the best gifts you can give yourself is learning how to eat healthier and eliminating unnecessary items that are always in processed foods. Cooking for yourself can be a daily treat of exploration and fulfillment, while moving you toward being able to retire enjoying life. Thanks for your words today, Tina & Norm. Oh and Norm - ditch the Blue Jays hat and get a Chicago White Sox cap 😂😂
Absolutely!!we love cooking Bruce healthy meals and you know the ingredients have a wonderful weekend we had a great visit to Chicago before our train trip Cheers 🇺🇸🌺🇨🇦
AMEN! And - Going to restaurants is such a disappointment anymore. Quality and all just isn’t the same.
Water with a freshly squeezed lemon in it not only tastes exceptionally good, it is very healthy for you and serves as an appetite suppressant.
Thanks for sharing Cheers 🌺🙂🌺
I have a little wrist blood pressure unit and comparing it to what they measure at the doctors office it doesn’t seem bad. Once day I was feeling a lot of pressure in my head and neck, so I measured my blood pressure and it was super high, so I was going to wait and try again, but decided to go to the clinic where they tossed me in an ambulance and I got the arteries roto routered and some stents put in. They said because I acted quickly there was no heart damage, but my arteries were really blocked from my typical North American diet. So now that they were cleaned up, I have been trying to do better but our food is really bad with all the sugar and salt they hide in almost everything.
I have been mostly avoiding meat except Salmon burgers and a little chicken now and then, but I think I am going to take some research trips to Asia and the Mediterranean to learn some better habits.
One of the things the doctors told me in my classes was that during the Korean War they cut open a lot of Americans and Koreans and found that the Koreans didn’t really have any artery blockage while the Americans had quite a bit even though they were very young adults and we have only become more sedentary since then with a lot more processed food than was available in the 1950’s
Wow Ken so glad having a home blood pressure unit worked out for you , thanks for sharing your story have a lovely weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Great video again I am 68 years old and never felt better I do intermediate fasting and walking most days and it works. My saying is your Health is your Wealth love all your videos best regards from Thailand
That’s great Alan we agree Health is your Wealth enjoy your weekend Cheers 🍷 🇹🇭 ☕️🇨🇦
Truth! My focus is my health and that of my husband. We’ve made wise financial decisions but that is just one aspect of retirement.
That’s great to hear Cheers 🌞🌺☕️
Hey 👋 Norm & Tina!
Agreed, health & diet are primary concerns-
Blood Pressure 114/74
Resting Heart Rate 39
Exercise includes 2.5 mile jog, and mowing lawn 2/3 acre, and deep knee bends pulling weeds in the garden.
Lost 18.5 lbs as I’m on the same diet as yourselves(in the past month).
We have a cruise to Nova Scotia in September, and don’t plan dieting then!!!! Lol 😂
Good luck with your plans!
Wow that’s very impressive Eric Congratulations 👏 that’s a great weight loss and yes we agree when on vacation you can bend the rules LOL 😂Cheers 🇺🇸🍷🇨🇦☕️
@@ThisIsOurRetirement well, I gotta confess, at 6’1” and 179 lbs, I was known as “the skinny guy” when we lived in The Villages FL. Since we moved to Delaware I gained 42 lbs. So, it was time to get off the carbs, sweets, and exercise portion control(the real secret to weight maintenance). Take care!
A little bit of everything. Jacket potatoes takes less time in the microwave, you can precook in the microwave and then finish off in the air fryer. also sweet potato you can cook the same way.
Palm oil is very bad for you.
I am a vegetarian for many reasons including environmental, animal cruelty and health. I love veggies so that makes it easier. Losing weight is easy when eating mostly vegetables but if eating the pre-made non-meats, that can cause lots of weight gain also. I tired fasting from 7 p.m. to noon but I got shakey, and dizzy and not feeling well so I took the time down to 11 and mostly it is okay. I did the 7 p.m. to noon for about 5 weeks and didn’t lose much weight, about 4 pounds. Cutting out sugar is really necessary for healthy eating. Good luck with your “diet” and staying healthy.
Thanks Tanya good luck with yours too and cutting out sugar have a great weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Good video. Thanks a lot for doing it. I would add mental health in addition to physical health and make that most important. Exercise wise I try to walk or walk/run about 4-5 miles per day. I am fortunate to live somewhere where I can get outside most days so this is pretty easy and does not require a lot of will power. We don’t restrict our diet but are not big meat and potatoes types. We would prefer a salad for dinner over meat or pasta. Also, we try to eat more in the middle of the day and less in the evenings.
I agree, without your health it does not matter how much money you have. Thank you for sharing this topic and helping us focus on just the financial side of prepping for retirement. Tina that color looks wonderful on you!
Thanks Teri hope you have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
health, and thanks....great video and great place where you live....oh yeah canada.....never met a canadian i didnt like
Hi T&N,
I have 2.5 yrs before retirement - I’m 61.
I think money & health are extremely important.
My Father (last parent) recently passed so have been caregiver for the last 4 yrs (it’s been quite tiring - lots to do).
My point: I’m now going to focus on myself (health being the priority).
Thank you for this great video! I found it inspiring 💙
Glad you enjoyed it Carol have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🙂🌺
Great you are trying different things 👍 I bought a bread machine and make my own Italian loaves where I control what goes into it. Something about making your own bread that feels like an accomplishment 🥳
Sounds great! maybe we should try that too Fiona have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Very pleased to hear you talking about this. There's more evidence coming out that major diseases up to and including many cancers are in fact metabolic diseases at their core, and can be completely prevented through diet. Limiting carbohydrates and intermittent fasting is an easy way do this.
Thanks for watching hope you have a great weekend Cheers 🙂🌺☕️
@@ThisIsOurRetirement I might add that when adopting an intermittent fasting regime long term, it's important to make sure you're getting all the nutrition in the two meals you do eat...it's easy to be short some vitamins and minerals if you're not careful. Good luck -- an intermittent fasting and keto-ish diet is life changing for many.
You’re speaking my language! I usually eat keto and do intermittent fasting too. Health is important! We stay away from processed foods as well!
That’s great Grace it seems to be working for us would be nice to consider it a new lifestyle Cheers 🌺🙂🍷
Both money and health are important. I got sick a few years back and simplified my eating. No more processed foods, well almost!
Sounds great have a nice weekend Cheers 🌺🙂
Most are overweight thus diets are easy… hard for me to look for how to gain weight healthily… my bp is good though at 117/69 and pulse is about 81 per minute
Thanks Norm and Tina. My rule of thumb for fasting is to eat all meals within a 12 window which therefore means 12 hours or more of fasting every day. Good for you for making health a priority; you may want to consider adding annual blood work including A1C, Lipids, Cholesterol (HDL,LDL) and any other testing your physician recommends.
We sound very similar Neil and yes we do annual blood tests etc Cheers 🌺🙂
Good for you to get off sugar and bread, what Peter Attia calls "wheat"ies... I did keto a few years ago, then IF, and lost about 25 lb (180lb to 165lb), but then found fasting triggered my gout. I switched to a meat-based diet a couple of years ago... More recently I started working on my mobility even if I'm only 48 so I can front-load my health before I get older. Start with stretching once a day to now 3 times a day... my goal is to be able to the the Asian Squat.
You're in great company doing low carb! 😊 I have breakfast around noon. Remember, breakfast just means break your fast! And low-carb eating usually makes me much less hungry because it doesn't trigger the insulin. Anyway, best of luck! You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for all your great advice!
Awesome Sue, we are getting used to this, it feels natural especially with walking! Thanks so much for watching.
My A1c was 6.5 last year up from 5.6 the prior year. At that time, I was doing intermittent fasting. My doctor immediately sent me to a diabetic dietician that quickly changed my diet. I must have 3 meals per day with 30-45 grams of carb along with protein and a vegetable. I also must have at least 1 snack per day of 15 g carb with 1 oz of protein. I have stuck with this for over a year now. In 6 months, my A1c dropped to 5.8 and my cholesterol dropped from 229 to 123 in that same period. I was told once you are diabetic you are always diabetic and must be careful. I eat mostly chicken and fish. I cut out every potato but mashed unless it is a special occasion. I sometimes make my own bread but it is so good that I am tempted to eat more. I applaud you on your dedication and efforts. It sounds like it is working well for you. I also try to walk right after I eat. I aim for 5000 steps per my doctor but normally am around 8000. Love your channel!!!!
We are glad your numbers are working for you yes we try to do 8000 steps a day and are feeling good all round hope you have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Health! I had a knee replacement three days ago and am doing well. So thankful. Carole
Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 Carole Cheers 🍷❤️
During covid I dropped my sugar intake down to 25 grams a day and lost 30 lbs in one year! That was a crazy surprise! Twenty five grams of sugar is nothing and it's been an excellent discipline. Coming from a family packed with diabetics and high cholesterol issues, keeping the weight off is super important. I am nearly a vegetarian now, even though I never set out to do that. Health will always be more important than money in the bank, no contest. Great and interesting topic!
Glad you enjoyed it Jan and health is so important probably more than money Cheers 🌺🙂
We agree Jan health is probably way more important than health have a great weekend Cheers 🌺🙂
Sounds great Jan we agree health is more important than money 💰 Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
There are a couple places here in Suburban Detroit where you can get French bread that doesn't have sugar in it one of the stores is called Joe's Produce which is in Livonia Michigan and they actually carry the other Bakery brand along with their own. Their brand is called Art of Bread , and the other Bakery is called Zeman's, which also has a location in Oak Park Michigan It's a Wonderful Jewish Bakery but if you go in there you will be tempted by all of their sweet treats! But there is no sugar in either of those breads, if you happen to be in the area check them out !
I've lived the low carb lifestyle for over 10 years now, it has been great. Dropped 24 lbs initially, and have been able to maintain that. You really can't think of it as a diet, but a new way of living.
That great to know Candy well done , we are looking at doing it as a lifestyle change as you say rather than a diet have a great weekend Cheers 🇺🇸🌺☕️🇨🇦🙂
I know!
Norm. You get a like for the Rush Fly By Night T-shirt and Blue Jays hat. Go YYZ!
Thanks David! 🇨🇦
Health is most important. You can’t think about wealth when you are in pain. Fasting is very beneficial and I start eating around noon as well. Working well for me too
Great Eva so far it’s working for us too Cheers 🙂🌺☕️
I do the 18 hour fasting, not eating after 6 pm until noon the next day and I walk 5-6 kilometers almost every day. I mainly eat a ketovore diet, although it's not a religion for me. I've lost over 40 pounds over the last few years and have lots more energy.
Congratulations a worthy effort that will result in better health.
I lost my doctor a couple of years ago and I am really struggling healthwise. Put on a lot of weight and blood pressure is high even on medication. I will try some of you advice and hopefully get a doctor to have a look at my BP problems
We hope you find a new doctor we are so fortunate that we got a new one last year and she is amazing 🌺
Excellent! I believe that what you are doing with your diet will do more for your health than anything else. I have type 2 diabetes and for the past year have controlled my blood sugar by doing exactly what you are doing, except sometimes I eat breakfast. Today, I have decided to return to intermittent fasting, since I have gained 5 pounds. It is so sad to see people who are financially able to travel, but cannot because they have so many health problems. They are convinced that they need to follow the USDA food pyramid and eat lots of grains and fruit with little fat or meat, so they are always hungry. Thank you for spreading with word.
Glad you enjoyed the video Caroleanne and thanks for watching have a great weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
My husband and I have been on keto for two years. We lost our weight within a few months, and have been just maintaining since. TH-cam channel. Dr. Berg is an excellent source, you’ve got to try their chocolate, peanut butter, fat bombs! We have gotten off the diet a couple of times for special occasions and wanting to take a break for short periods, but feel so much better when we get back on the wagon again. It really does keep you from feeling hungry and from having cravings. It’s very freeing. Love you guys!
Thanks Julie we are looking at it as a lifestyle change rather than a diet Cheers 🌺🙂🍷
Another great conversation Norm and Tina. Health is always #1 as it determines the quality of our retirement life. Money is important but secondary. Health = Wealth.
I have been on a 2 meal diet for last 40 yrs, since teenage yrs. First meal is always late lunch between 1-3PM. My food is mostly home cook from scratch. I am one of those rare shoppers who go around the perimeter of the grocery store - Produce to meat to dairy & then check-out. Anything that is packaged is a turn-off. I avoid processed foods as much as I can. I believe this is also the main reason why I am rarely ever sick - Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels, all good. My medical record file is so thin, couple of pages that my family doctor complained that I never see him. I only see him every few years to maintain an active status with him. To this day, I actually don't know how it feels to have a headache.
What a wonderful example to us all, congratulations!
Health, happiness and financial independence… ❤
Very true Jim have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🌺🙂
In retirement time is more important than money, and experiences are more important than things.
What a great statement Alan thank you have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
You two are inspirational! We're 5 yrs behind you and appreciate all of your observations and ideas.
Wow, thank you! have a great weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Thanks for the recommendation on the blood pressure monitor. I'm going to check it out! 👍🏻
You are welcome Ann, thanks for watching.
No question about it. Health is #1.
We agree Jan!
Agreed I early retired in Feb this year and my first and most goal was to get fit again. I went on holidays for a long time on beach sides. Practiced long beach walks in the early morning then swimming. I made sure I never booked a hotel room that included breakfast. I would just have a coffee in the morning in my room, a very light snack around 10. I would only eat really at lunch time and diner because it is important to enjoy ourselves. When I came back home I kept swimming regularly at the local public swimming pool and kept eating reasonably (and still do). After a laborious and slow start I lost more than 20kg in 6 months and it keeps falling down dramatically without doing anything special. Yes, I avoid industrial food as much as I can. I also keep sugars and carbs at the minimum.
You folks are spot on with your choices. IMHO good health is most important at any age. Family and friends rank high, followed by sufficient finances. Thanks so much for your videos and including the links in this one. 😊
Your very welcome Edward glad you enjoyed it have a great weekend Cheers ☕️🍷🙂
Look into Moringa Oleifera - amazing plant that addresses so much.
Your health is your wealth as the saying goes!!!! All the money in the world isn't much good if you can't spend it!!! Thanks for the great content!!! Best Always!!!
So very true Bob!
Hi, health is definitely key.
I totally agree with your points on processed foods and lowering refined sugars. I never understood what "low carb" meant , below 80, 60 40 grams a day??.is that sustainable achievable i.e. over a lifetime?
If your followers are interested , nutrtion made simple you tube channel is conducted by a M.D. who more importantly has a PHD in nutrtional research and has many experts inculding Dr. Christopher Gradner( one of the most scientific publlished researchers on nutrtion)
It's good to follow a scientific evidence base diet.. Hint it's not a heavy based meat and refined foods.
Follow the science and not the fads you're truly interested in long term health, you can always temporarily lose weight and most calorie restricted diet in the short term.
Thanks for watching have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Hello Tina & Norm, Another excellent video! We retired early in 2022. I'm 58 and my husband is 64. I have type 2 diabetes and it's causing all sorts of problems. I was diagnosed 2 years ago. I asked for Ozempic (before it became popular) but my doctor wanted to start me on a different battery of meds. In April he was on vacation when I had my blood tests. His professional partner called me and put me on Ozempic immediately. What a huge difference! I lost 35 lbs in 3 months and my blood sugar is much better. Ozempic doesn't make me crave sugar and I am focused on eating healthy. I haven't felt like eating much meat and I'm craving fruits and veg. Although I don't call myself a vegetarian, I certainly eat like one. I track my progress on an app and it helps. I agree that health is more important than money in retirement. I also have nerve issues that are being looked at -- preventing me from exercising. I can swim and look after my chickens, but that's about it. Thanks again for a great video! Cheers, Sandra
Sounds great Sandra we are glad things are getting for you that’s a great weight loss we wish you continued success enjoy your weekend Cheers 🍷🙂🌺
Your nerve issues were probably caused by high blood sugars. Keeping your blood sugar down by not eating grains, fruit and sugar will save your sight, kidneys and nerve endings. Best of luck to you.
@@caroleanne8529 My A1C is 6.3 these days. I have cataracts and my albumin level is high.
Amazing stuff
Thank you 🙂
My husband and I are in our 60's. We go to the gym . Love it. Great video! Thank you
That is awesome!thanks for watching Joanne have a great weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Love your channel guys , I adopted a keto/ OMAD diet 29/12/2020 lost 56lbs but most importantly kept it off!
I was on two BP tablets a gout tablet and anti acid tablet all gone.
BP came down but raised slightly so cut out caffeine now perfect
Wow what a great result, we are so pleased for you!
I retired 21 years ago at 45. Sure, health is everything. I'd rather be homeless and healthy than unhealthy in a beach house. One thing it took me about 10 years to figure out was to give myself permission to walk 2-4 hours a day. I was walking, but felt 2-4 hours was "wasting time". Silly, I know...now. That's when I really felt "retired".
About eating and hunger...Take a look at lions in Africa (not the zoo). The pride sleeps and sleeps and then all kind of wake up at the same time. Soon they go looking for food. No alarm clock. So what wakes them up? Hunger.
For humans (Westerners) what hunger triggers is a 10 second walk to the kitchen to start eating. That's not the purpose of hunger. Hunger is to get you up and walking around for food. for 99% of human existence that walk lasted hours, even days to find something to eat. So when I'm fasting or wanting to scale back I wait until I'm really hungry and then go for a walk...normally some food shopping. 2.5 miles one way and carrying 5-15 lbs of food back 2.5 miles. I have different routes so normally longer. Hunger goes almost completely away. I feel good, light. I live in Phoenix so normally when I get home water is what I want. It can be another 30-60 minutes before I feel hungry again. The trick is to control how much I eat then. Often fasting, long walk, feeling light, my brain says I deserve a reward. A mistake I often make unless I'm really thinking.
The tip of drinking water to fill up never worked for me at all.
Thanks for sharing have a great weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Hi Tina and Norm!
Hi from very warm (hot) California!! I am 75, but I go to to the gym everyday to work off the stresses of working for a large health insurance company. I must be stressed a lot because I can do 125 pound bicep curl for 4 sets of 10 and bench press 160 (6 sets of 5). I can even pass the US Army height-weight standard and the APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) for my age and gender!! Life is good!! My hobby is watching my portfolio grow!!
Awesome Frank, life is for living at any age!
Good thing to have is also a blood sugar monitor since you cannot feel if it gets too high. Here also only twice per month and it will give you real good control how your body processes carbs.
Great suggestion thanks!
I am retired. 🎉 yes! 32 years of teaching .
Awesome Johnny! Thanks for teaching children!
A Rush tee shirt - and a Blue Jays cap - I know what part of this country you are living in !
Yes health is number one for sure.
Great combination! we agree Health is #1 Cheers Rick 👍🙂
Love the Jays hat Norm. Health should always be on everyone’s priority list. Unfortunately, money can’t buy health.
You are so right! Go Jays!
@@ThisIsOurRetirement they are playing well since the all star break😀 only 2 games, hope they will keep it up.
Great message! I've been doing 2MAD intermittent fasting for several years now and it has helped me transform my health. This has been a permanent change for me and it has really paid off. I don't eat breakfast and I don't snack, but I still have coffee or tea in the morning, but without any sugar. I lost 70 pounds on this regimen and improved all of my vitals/labs to boot!
Wow that’s amazing what a great weight loss and better vitals too congratulations 👏 have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌞🌺
You two are the cutest! Hello from southern Indiana USA
Thanks Angela 👋
Great advice. You have a great t shirt collection!
Thank you! have a wonderful week Cheers ☕️🌺🙂
Most important 1 health 2 family 3 money.. I believe that if we sincerely follow the instructions of our medical professionals as to diet exercise cholesterol alcohol cigarettes on a daily basis, we are doing all we can as to our health. Don’t want to get anxiety ridden rigid and or feeling deprived… retirement is, after all, to be enjoyed.
We agree thanks for sharing Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
16:8 fast and cut the carbs works great!😀
Yes it does! 😀😀👍
I’ve been living low carb and sessions of keto the last 3 years, I don’t get hungry and that is because your glucose and insulin connection evens out. The 2 meals a day is ideal! Give the body at least 12 hours a day where you are not digesting food. I don’t get sick either, sleeping great and energy is good. I do need to watch the weight in winter when getting out is harder in cold and snow. I am retiring in December this year , so I’m excited to build out a really good routine for my eating and more exercise, yoga and keeping my mind and creativity cooking!!!
We agree Janet we too sometimes aren’t hungry which we thought was strange , getting used to it now Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Great stuff as always. Part of that health is learning strategies during the years preceding retirement on how to relax, how to say no at work, and how to treat your self the way you would your grandchild - with loving care and kindness. It’s the absence of stress, good diet, exercise, and rest that make up the four legs on the table called Life. Stress causes inflammation throughout the body as well as engages the sympathetic nervous system which doesn’t allow the body to digest food which prevents the body from absorbing nutrients and from eliminating harmful waste. That’s a lot but move your good idea back or step to the the decade or two before retirement where the accumulation of healthy habits or otherwise will determine the consequences we experience at 45, 55, and 65. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it Dean and what a great comment so true but hard to do ! Thinking back we definitely had stress when we were working pity we didn’t know then what we know now 🤔have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺☕️🙂
Thank you Norm and Tina. We’re all still learning. Thank you for talking about the topics that matter. Enjoy your week as well. Peace and health to you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼 .
Most important is your health, if you don't have that it isn't a fun life.
So true we are getting used to 2 MAD Pedro and feeling better for it Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
Great shirt Norm!
Thanks!
Great podcast!! I’m a still a runner at 62 and I am carnivore four days, one day salad, one day beer or wine! Everyday I fast eight pm to next day three pm.
Glad you enjoyed it have a wonderful day 🙂🌺
Good 😊 sharing 💖🤗😊
Thank you! Cheers 🙂
That t-shirt makes you look younger. Certainly indicates high intellect and discerning taste!
Glad you like it Paul have a great weekend Cheers ☕️🌺🙂
Glad to hear you are taking steps to protect your health. Wealth can't replace health. Thanks for sharing. My spouse retired in April and has lost 28 lbs. Eating no more than 2 meals each day and mostly meat with some vegetables. He is very active and has little to no stress since saying good bye to his job. Retirement can be really good for your health. Cheers.
That’s great congratulations on his weight loss have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
I saw a pop-up on your feed, asking about dimunition of appetite after age 80. I am only weeks away from that milestone, and I can assure you that cravings for certain foods, binge eating, and other less-than-healthy eating habits DO NOT go away just because of a calendar date! On the contrary, it's all too easy to pack on the pounds or kilograms as you age, and it's much harder to get them off again. I am certain it is partly the likelihood that we can't easily maintain the intensity of our activities, but it's a poor excuse, and I'm sure we all know the solution!
At least, following Tina and Norm indicates you have the right mindset. Just gotta make the effort, whatever you can manage!
That’s too Funny LOL 😂 thanks for sharing we totally agree as you get older the pounds seem to appear more ! have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🙂🌺
Love the shirt Norm!!!
Thank you
Great advise as always Tina and Norm. Absolutely right that without health all the money in the world means nothing. I understand how the Gluten free diet was a disaster for you. There are some decent gluten free products out there but usually triple the price of regular products. Seven to ten dollars for a loaf of bread that is half the size of regular is criminal. My wife has Celiac disease so gluten free is is a necessity not a choice. Most things I will eat with her but I just can't do any of the bread products. Mostly just terrible. Thanks again. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing Martin , we found a lot of gluten free products awful to eat , thanks for watching enjoy your weekend Cheers 🇨🇦🍷☕️🙂
Great advice! You can have a ton of money, but if you don’t have your health, you really can’t enjoy it! Give me good health any day!!! Enjoy your videos! (from Mississippi)
Glad you enjoyed it have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇺🇸🙂🇨🇦
At age 56 (I'm thinking 3 more years of work) I am now on low carb diet also finding out a few years ago my blood A1C was too high. Sometimes I do the same exact diet you mention, with a hard boiled egg white in the AM or low sodium V8 juice. I find the "balanced plan" works great (145 grams of carbs per day or 45 per 3-meal in a day. I have heard that if you skip breakfast it tricks your brain into thinking you are hungry all day so good to have that coffee and a little something else. Thanks as always for these great videos!
It’s great you are aware of your health and being pro active, your V8 might contain hidden sugars.
It’s definitely Health! Good on you for talking about it.
Thanks
Go Jays!!!! And yes health is the most important, I have warm water in the morning but still have breakfast around 10 and eat until 5:00pm. It works for me.
Sounds great Sandi have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🌺🙂☕️
