Been feeling a bit lonely this week, the weather is bad, all you want to do is stay home and cosy... these videos help, like listening to a friend. I need friendliness in my life, calmness, acceptance... thank you
Madeleine, you're such a soothing light amid all those toxic fitness/wellness/weight-oriented bubbles .. and a big inspiration of mine, encouraging me to take ownership of my own food choices and preferences .. to trust my body's signals .. I cannot thank you for that enough!!
This weekend series has changed my life. Literally. This week I've been eating whatever I want without guilt. I feel like a new person. Just like you said, I have more energy to put into the important things in life. Free from preoccupation with feeling bad if I ate too much or didn't exercise that day.
This has honestly made my week. I am so proud of you. I know how much of a challenge that must have been and how much you just have overcome! I will continue making these videos and stay on this journey with you because we all deserve to have freedom from food and to just enjoy our lives without fear of it!
I’m glad that I found your channel I don’t have friend or anyone to talk about my struggle of eating I feel like I’m not alone through this recovery ❤️🩹 love ya vids 💞
New to the channel- love it. Listening to this has made me understand what “ intuitive eating” actually means; I always thought it meant that if you eat “intuitively” you would naturally achieve a perfectly balanced diet at all times - which never seemed to happen. I now see that it’s accepting that some days/ weeks you might feel the need to eat cake every day but others you won’t , because you’re listening to your body. So “intuitively” is not always synonymous with viewing your body as a “temple” but can sometimes mean scarfing down Giant Toblerone ( Guilty), because other days you’ll be loving a crisp green salad. At 63 I am grateful for the clarification! Also you’ve inspired me to clean out my fridge…
Please know how much you making these videos and sharing your light means to people xx Everyday you inspire people to reclaim joy and freedom just by existing
I eat whenever I feel hungry or an appetite, no matter what time it is or when I ate last. I enjoy it. And I like long videos and watch them all the way. Maybe not at once but eventually.
the last clip of this video is soooo calm and cozy ... I feel like I am at my parents' home and hugging my family 😍 can you please share a little bit of this part of your life more. just a little more, not very detailed and personel way 🙏
I relate to eating the same food for multiple meals over several days. When I, for instance, take the time to make a yummy soup with all of my favorite spices and veggies it is an absolute treat to eat it over and over.❤
What a coincidence! I've just stopped coffee because I'm feeling very anxious at the moment. I've had such a bad habit drinking a couple of cups in the morning and felt bad just before midday (I'm a teacher) in front of my pupils...your recipes look so good and yummy. I'll definitely try them.
What a wonderful day we’re having. I just finished watching your previous video, and now the new one is here. You’ve designed your home beautifully. I really enjoy these videos, just as much as when you cook. Wishing you all the best.
I am so glad to see you adjusting to your body changes in a healthy manner. I have spent decades dealing with the same issues. It’s never easy, but eating whole foods makes a huge difference. Having a healthy foundation that I can splurge on top of keeps my overall health good and allows me some fun as well. Bravo Madeleine!
If someone feels stressed intuitive eating isn’t working for them, please don’t. This works if someone doesn’t have disordered eating and will eat when they’re triggered or an emotion sets off their eating. Don’t struggle alone, and seek out professional help if possible because this is a pathological issue and not a lack of will power❤/ Former uni. psychology student
all that food looks so delish Madeleine, love the long videos, your style is so easy and natural, you have def given me back my love for creating meals again and trying out new things, cooking had become such a chore for me and my relationship with food was not healthy, now I'm tackling that thanks to you
OMG........that banana blackberry bread looked so so delicious!! Loved watching all the cooking! I want to try that oat/berry granola.....yummy!! Thanks for sharing with us.
It might sound quirky, but hypnosis really helped me get over my trauma with food. A trauma that was deeprooted from childhood (as young as 3, according to my subconscious). Now I'm not constantly thinking about food, I eat when hungry, until I feel full and don't feel guilty about leaving food on my plate anymore. It's literally changed my life.
You are the perfect "victim"??? I love Alex's sense of humor and this series. You are so real, gorgeous and vibrant! I could be your mum and I hope yours is really proud of you. I second every word on the relationship with food and alcohol. I wish I were this wise at your age. I'm 60 and you videos help me a lot. Much Love and Peace from Upstate NY
Got my copy of Period Living today. Mum was travelling back from U.k. to New Zealand so I asked her to get it for me. Just about to read it now.. Congratulations the photos look amazing ❤
you always manage to make me happy with your videos , hope you and Alex are doing well - i've been watching a few of your older videos and its like having chats with an old friend. thanks so much for your realism with food - 🎉❤
Mo!!!!!! Huge hugs and yummy meals for Autumn and Winter!!! I find 16:8 eating and walks and gardening helps xoxoxooxoxoox (My youngest sis has no dairy, my younger sis has no gluten.... and me no eggs n onions or green powders)
I’m glad your happy with your weight. Working out sucks and at times causes inflammation I used to work out as well constantly and after having 2 stomach ulcers and healing my stomach with food I realized all of those workouts are never worth it for a flatter stomach. It’s also always nice to see your cute house in videos and all of your shopping videos are nice. Congrats on making your home in a magazine.
Just a note on the pasta subject- if you ware gluten sensitive Jovial brand pasta taste and cooks like regular pasta! 🍝 It’s really good 👍 I can eat gluten but don’t feel the best after and get migraines. So this has helped me enjoy it more
Someone here (I can't find the comment anymore) said something along the lines of granola only being perceived as healthy but isn't, because it has a lot of calories. Please note that calories do not equal unhealthy. They are necessary for our bodily functions and if paired with other nutritional value certainly present in nuts, fruits and seeds - that's just great!
Your vlogs are just like a big comfortable sigh. All I am missing is the soup! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on intuitive eating. It is so helpful. This year I have tried giving up bread to eat less carbs but I just love it too much. Why should I deprive myself of something that gives me so much pleasure…fresh crusty bread with butter 🥰
I related to the worrying about what others thought to the amount of food I ate. I worry what my partner thinks even though he honestly wouldnt even notice or even think to say anything. The self talk over food can be overwhelming. First time viewing but like your approach to food. Shall definitely catch up on your other blogs 😊
Hey Madeleine, have you ever tried holding your knife differently? If you choke up on the knife (holding closer to the blade) it can feel more controlled and powerful.
@@MadeleineOlivia We are! (As an aside, last night, I started to say something negative to myself about my weight and choices. I immediately said something positive, aloud, about my choices without evening thinking about it. I stopped short, thinking, oh, my ... it's as if Maddie's in my living room saying this! Sharing the things you've learned and your thinking with us is impactful and rubs off on us! We are strong together!)
You are beautiful just as you are, both inside and out. BUT, I do know what it is like to be disappointed in our weight. So, do what you do to please yourself. Since I’ve lost my weight I just “feel” so much better…health wise, and the esthetic is just a bonus.
This is a great series! Very helpful very relatable and I appreciate your honesty as always! Thank you! I was doing the same thing with making a healthier version recipes! I also live very close to the beach and it's so hard sometimes you just want to be a tourist in your own town! As a fellow anxiety sufferer, I always do decaf, even tea, and have to change my alcohol intake to different options at different times. Some alcohol affects me negatively and gives me palpitations, anxiety, and dehydrates me very quickly and others don't. Still figuring that one out! I too have a prankster husband and I just want a forewarn you it gets worse with age!😂
Haha I don't know if you've heard of it, but in Poland people actually eat second breakfast instead of lunch. So to everyone wanting to have a second breakfast - this Polish recommends it
love your videos and your creativity and advice for recipes/cooking! 💜 you're very well articulated when explaining things and that's awesome!! 👏🏻😊 also, thank you for sharing your experiences and advice. it makes people feel less alone.
omg i havvvve to say i absolutely LOVVVVE that chocolate! here in the US the packaging is a bit different, but it's a delicious "milk chocolate" and i think they put almond past in it and it makes it taste soooo gooood!!! (my fav if you couldn't tell)
Hi Maddie, i wasn't sure you were aware, when you mentioned the vegan chocolate, you said (vegan chesse) lol i found that to be such a cute slip up haha, Thank you for the inspiring videos your food looks amazingly delicious 😊 your the best ❤
Hey Madeleine, have you ever tried holding your knife differently? If you choke up on the handle a bit (closer to the blade) it can feel more controlled and powerful.
How do you balance your intuitive eating and health related things? Do you have bloodwork done regularly? I just had bloodwork and my good cholesterol was low and bad cholesterol was elevated. I found out that even a lot of vegetarian and vegan things can contribute to high cholesterol. Sugar/baked goods, fried foods, processed foods, coconut oil, vegan meat and dairy alternatives, etc. How do you balance doing what is best to tackle your disordered eating with what is best for overall health? You say not to be afraid of certain ingredients as a way to deal with the fear of foods and weight gain, but what if those ingredients are bad for your heart and overall health? And how can that then be addressed without falling into restrictive behavior patterns? I actually eat less processed foods than most of the population, and yet here I am with elevated cholesterol results. 😢
I hear you. I have health anxiety that has been debilitating and it has very much crossed over into orthorexia. I try and focus on balance. Lots of intuitive eating experts recommend having a diet education in the background so you can eat intuitively with knowledge for what makes up a healthy balanced diet. I try and focus on what makes me feel good, balancing my cravings and moderation, while having this awareness for foods in the background. I’ll talk about this in more detail in a future vlog! I am sorry to hear about your cholesterol, but please don’t beat yourself up as this can be largely genetic! It’s likely your healthy diet is helping, but speak to your doctor about ways to help reduce it in a way that’s manageable alongside these concerns for foods 🫶🏻
When in doubt, enjoy Whole Foods plant based in abundance such a filling up on fruits, veg, potatoes, brown rice, rolled oats, legumes, greens, herbs and spices… I am cooking without oil to reduce my cholesterol. I still enjoy vegan treats that you’ve mentioned but I fill up on whole plants first to make sure I’m not just looking for a dopamine hit bc I’m starving. But if after I’ve eaten all the Whole Foods cooked without oil, and I still want that vegan burger/cracker/ brownie, etc then there’s room in life for that too 🌱
@@Raddiebaddie I eat mostly vegetables. Sometimes I have a side of potato chips (crisps) with my lunch. Sometimes I will have a cookie or muffin at work if I’m feeling like it. I don’t typically eat meat alternatives. And the only dairy alternative I have is oat milk and sometimes soy milk. I don’t use coconut oil for cooking. Mostly just use olive oil (which is recommended for heart health). I am not fully vegan, more vegetarian, and so I occasionally have real cheese, and sometimes real ice cream in the summertime. But I don’t eat loads of this sort of stuff. I eat it in moderation, and way less often than most people do. But I have been dealing with tons of stress for several years, and I read that too much stress can affect cholesterol levels.
I love intuitive eating, that is basically what I do but something I have been researching the last 3 years personally is parasites. Read up on them. Everyone has them. Eating antiparasitic foods is a must as well as doing parasite cleanses every few months makes all the difference in the foods I crave or want to eat. It is amazing to see what my body wants after a cleanse. Any food cravings are gone. I have been an organic eater for more than forty years always trying to eat clean and homemade. I also realized recently that alot of middle eastern, Indian or African ancient diets as well as Sicilian foods are staple antiparasitic foods and spices! I dont eliminate foods I love but my body just wants less sugar or carbs and wants the good stuff naturally. Turning 60, I have gone down all the food trails due to health but this seems to be an answer I had refused to look at though it always came up in my readings over the years. Since embracing it, it is just a part of my healthy life now! Always enjoy your videos! Happy autumn!
HELP! your recipe for the Autumn Goulash ,as you called it, is not on your website? There is one called Autumn Stew but it doesn’t have the dumplings. It looked so good but where can I find the recipe? Thank you!
@@MadeleineOlivia thank you sooo much for your answer ❤️by the way i eat sooo much fruit and veggies often its my carbs intake because crave It and seem me others eat too Little🤣 anyway you eat so good healthy food and inspire me because im stuck in quasi recovery by years hipotalamic amenorrea and hipotiroidism (eat to Little exercise everyday 🥴)and normal bmi 21 now but si much ed behaviours....im scared gain more weight and you last videos its sooo helpful ❤️ ciao from Roma
WHOA nearly 4-min AD read. But what got to me is pushing that AG1 can very likely cure your gut health problems. Studies aside, this is simply not true for many people and can be harmful to push. I know they are a sponsor and support you doing this so we can enjoy your vlogs, but I can’t support that type of approach. I work in marketing with influencers, so I know some (if not most) reads are scripted, but if you have any say, please advocate better for your viewers. You are a lighthouse to many people, especially when it comes to food, going vegan, and being vulnerable.
Such lovely recipes, I love soups also and make them every week. It’s a great way to use up veg leftover as well. I will definitely make the granola, I normally buy it but would love to make my own. Love your vlogs, they are so good! Have a great week and thanks for being so good to your community ❤
I love love love this vlog. It's so good to see someone being a real foodie and enjoying their food. The blackberry banana bread made my mouth water- it looked sooo good. And please don't edit out the food noises! I enjoy them!
You are a breath of fresh air lovely lady, your honesty and openness is so refreshing . I just want you to know that you are such a natural beauty and i think you look fabulous just as you are ...and ive been a fan of you throughout the years . I know youre not ruled by vanity but sometimes its nice to know how others perceive you, despite the struggles 🙏
Actually I'm not a foodie or vegetarian but enjoy watching other people cook and bake. I'm still not sure about vegetarian food because a lot of the base ingredients don't agree with me (peas and beans, eggplant, etc.).
I take them both! AG1 is great for my gut and for variety but I take specific supplements with Wild Nutrition so Ashwaganda, B12 and iron during my period 🫶🏻
I understand but like I said to Kate, unless my full time job became replying to comments and messages it would be physically impossible to get back to everyone. I have to spend my days creating the content on all the platforms I have in order to receive those comments. I spend a large portion of time getting back to as many as I can because I love to but I have lots of other responsibilities to fulfil in my job. Hope that makes sense 🫶🏻
@@MadeleineOliviano pressure dear; anyone who is demanding you speak with them right away is not very respectful of your time. You don’t have to respond to anything, you are busy enough just making these videos and other things!! There’s no rush 🌱
I’d love to know for future episodes if you like these videos over 30 minutes or less! Lemme know below/like the comment you agree with!
I love long Videos. Your videos are always to beautiful and chill and I watch them while cleaning/cooking etc.

🍁Maddie’s Autumn Meals edition🍂
Love you and your videos so much ❤
Good video. I am not a fan of leftovers. I wish I was. I just can't eat the same thing close together.
I love intuitive eating, that is basically what I do but something I have been researching the last 3 years personally is parasites. Read up on them. Everyone has them. Eating antiparasitic foods is a must as well as doing parasite cleanses every few months makes all the difference in the foods I crave or want to eat. It is amazing to see what my body wants after a cleanse. Any food cravings are gone. I have been an organic eater for more than forty years always trying to eat clean and homemade. I also realized recently that alot of middle eastern, Indian or African ancient diets as well as Sicilian foods are staple antiparasitic foods and spices! I dont eliminate foods I love but my body just wants less sugar or carbs and wants the good stuff naturally. Turning 60, I have gone down all the food trails due to health but this seems to be an answer I had refused to look at though it always came up in my readings over the years. Since embracing it, it is just a part of my healthy life now! Always enjoy your videos! Happy autumn!
THANK YOU for your videos
HELP! your recipe for the Autumn Goulash ,as you called it, is not on your website? There is one called Autumn Stew but it doesn’t have the dumplings. It looked so good but where can I find the recipe? Thank you!

WHOA nearly 4-min AD read. But what got to me is pushing that AG1 can very likely cure your gut health problems. Studies aside, this is simply not true for many people and can be harmful to push. I know they are a sponsor and support you doing this so we can enjoy your vlogs, but I can’t support that type of approach. I work in marketing with influencers, so I know some (if not most) reads are scripted, but if you have any say, please advocate better for your viewers. You are a lighthouse to many people, especially when it comes to food, going vegan, and being vulnerable.
I’m going to buy your cook book, your food looks incredible ❤ lovely vlog, thank you xx
Such lovely recipes, I love soups also and make them every week. It’s a great way to use up veg leftover as well.
I will definitely make the granola, I normally buy it but would love to make my own.
Love your vlogs, they are so good! Have a great week and thanks for being so good to your community ❤
i love these what you eat in a week videos!! over 30 minutes! so happy i found your channel.
Delightful video!
I love love love this vlog. It's so good to see someone being a real foodie and enjoying their food. The blackberry banana bread made my mouth water- it looked sooo good. And please don't edit out the food noises! I enjoy them!
I love these videos and find them so helpful but please edit out the slurping noises!
You are a breath of fresh air lovely lady, your honesty and openness is so refreshing . I just want you to know that you are such a natural beauty and i think you look fabulous just as you are ...and ive been a fan of you throughout the years . I know youre not ruled by vanity but sometimes its nice to know how others perceive you, despite the struggles 🙏
Thank you so much Maddie. We appreciate you. Hugs ❤❤
How far back should I go to watch the videos where you first shared about gut issues?
“”Literally” is a hyperbole, Alex 😒” 😂
🤣🤣
Actually I'm not a foodie or vegetarian but enjoy watching other people cook and bake. I'm still not sure about vegetarian food because a lot of the base ingredients don't agree with me (peas and beans, eggplant, etc.).
Hi. Advice please. Would you take AG1 on its own or with the wild nutrition vitamins , thanks. I’m looking for a good supplement ❤
I take them both! AG1 is great for my gut and for variety but I take specific supplements with Wild Nutrition so Ashwaganda, B12 and iron during my period 🫶🏻
I was responding to katetyler comment ! It can be annoying if you are waiting fir a reply but I still love your content
I understand but like I said to Kate, unless my full time job became replying to comments and messages it would be physically impossible to get back to everyone. I have to spend my days creating the content on all the platforms I have in order to receive those comments. I spend a large portion of time getting back to as many as I can because I love to but I have lots of other responsibilities to fulfil in my job. Hope that makes sense 🫶🏻
@@MadeleineOliviano pressure dear; anyone who is demanding you speak with them right away is not very respectful of your time. You don’t have to respond to anything, you are busy enough just making these videos and other things!! There’s no rush 🌱
Please remind me which video the omelette recipe is in? Xxx
Have you tried Whole Earth Cocoa Crunch granola? It's the beeeest and good ingredients!
I haven’t! Sounds yummy!
Had to skip to spaghetti noise sorry haha x
I noticed you said dairy free, aren’t all your meals dairy free or are you no longer vegan? Xx
Can you tell me, please, where those beautiful earrings with red stones at the end of the video are from?
I got them in a charity shop sorry!
