Hey guys! Hope you enjoy my first What I Eat In A Day video! I've kept it pretty healthy as I normally try and be during the week! Taking you through breakfast, lunch, snacks & dinner! Give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it!! Love xxx
+Amelia Liana Hey Amelia! I'm a dietistic student and I just wanted to tell you that you shouldn't worry about drinking while eating, it actually helps digestion because water dilute the bolus. I myself don't drink much water when I'm eating because it makes me very full, but a glass or two is a good idea. Also, be careful with the burnt squash! burnt or smoked foods contain cancerous molecules, I don't mean to scare you, but those foods must be consumed in moderation ( as well as anything that is grilled or has had a direct contact with a flame). And you're right about the gluten: it is ok to consume it, it's not something that we must avoid at all costs, but in order not to develop a sensitivity to gluten or even become celiac, it is goog to avoid it when possible, such as your choice of gluten free oats. Oh, and about the water and lemon I have to say this to clear the air: it is healthy drink, a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants and, yes, when lemon is digested it is alkaline, as well as any kind of fruit or vegetable. But the notion that it makes your body alkaline is bull****. Life is at 7.35-7.45 pH, 7 is death and 7.2 is acidois. There you go.
+Bianca Brescia Thanks for the information Bianca! I really appreciated your insight. I was under the impression gluten-free is being followed as a fad and actually only those that are gluten intolerant or celiac need to be avoiding gluten. But I will consider what you say and look into this further myself. Thanks again!
I just don't understand why people who are able to eat gluten and aren't coeliac are so caught up on eating gluten free?? Gluten is not the enemy and is no healthier than foods that contain gluten
+shannon starface Gluten free seems handy for sportspeople wanting to consume extra calories without feeling full or stodgy, but apart from that I'm not sure it's necessary. But to each their own.
To those of you frustrated that non-celiac sufferers are avoiding gluten - there are other diseases that are also treated by avoiding gluten. Most auto-immune disorders (of which celiac disease is one example) can and do go into remission by altering ones diet. I was told by my doctor to avoid gluten and dairy to treat my illnesses. I understand your frustration, many people eat GF, DF, and organic because it's trendy, but as others have pointed out, this makes eating and buying GF easier because it's more widely available. It would be lovely if we could focus more on education, and less on shaming. :)
Probably the best source I've found, from the Celiac foundation, but check out the other links: celiac.org/blog/2014/02/9-things-you-should-know-before-going-gluten-free/ www.webmd.com/diet/healthy-kitchen-11/truth-about-gluten www.scientificamerican.com/article/most-people-shouldnt-eat-gluten-free/ www.medicaldaily.com/gluten-free-diet-does-not-make-you-healthier-only-people-celiac-disease-should-go-311938
2 chicken periods to go please "But if you replace gluten-containing products with their gluten-free counterparts, you’re likely to ingest more sugar and fat (and therefore calories), says Crowe. Just because more gluten-free products exist than ever before, doesn’t mean you should eat them."
+Maria Lyng (MariaLyngg) sure there is, people like myself who aren't allergic to gluten still are affected by it. I get cystic acne and feel bloated when I consume gluten and it makes me tired. I still eat it because I love it but I have noticed when I restrict myself from it, I glow frown within!
As someone who suffers from celiac disease it's so frustrating when people say "I'm trying to say off gluten" who don't suffer one bit from it. Just as FYI but gluten is in more than just bread and oats. And by making gluten free a "trendy" fad makes it more expensive for those who actually need these products! I'm not trying to be mean I'm just stating the obvious.
+slaterpuggs Don't worry in a few years there will be something else that everyone will be afraid of. But yeah I agree with you, Amelia probably doesn't even fully understand. And the way she says it just seems so pretentious. "GLOO-TON Free" Annoying.
slaterpuggs absolutely! I have Celiac Disease and a severe dairy allergy, as in my throats swells up, and when I see or talk to people who are "going gluten free" or are dairy free (and not because they are vegan), drives me crazy. I agree the fads jack up the prices for us that need it for survival. Oh god I hate it when I explain I have CD and a severe dairy allergy and someone says, "me too I don't eat gluten or dairy" Um not the same thing, you choose to spend $9 on a small loaf of gluten free bread because it's cool and I have to if I want a fucking sand which?!
i wish people would understand this, all Gluten is is Texture to breads and cereals, the reason some people don't eat it is for medical diagnoses, but for dietary reasons its so point, you gain the same calories,fat,sugars and carbs as you do eating gluten, so you may aswell enjoy regular breads and cakes which taste nicer, and cheaper, or simply cut it from your diet completely if you want to benefit yourself, other then that, gluten free product are not going to make you healthier or skinnier. save your money.
I love these video!! But agree with so many others it is unnecessary to cut out gluten.. It's become an almost trend to do it. And this doesn't promote a healthy relationship with food and encourages others to feel bad for eating gluten. Often gluten free foods are higher in fat./sugar to compensate for lack of gluten. Yes it is personal preference I totally get that and yes Amelia can eat what she wants and if it works for her and her health that's great but for others it simply isn't required to cut it out in order to be 'healthy', unless you have an intolerance.
+Liv Cawley I totally agree, its become kind of a fad and it really upsetting cause such a small percentage of the population are actually gluten intolerant and they only way you know if you are is by a blood test ! now its fair to say that some food I've eaten are gluten free just because they taste good, but i don't believe you should centre your whole diet around the fact that everything must be gluten free :) Eating gluten if you aren't gluten free makes no difference to your weight, athletic performance ect. There was actually a great study on athletes who over 80% said they were gluten intolerant, over the course of a month gave 1/2 a gluten free diet and 1/2 a normal gluten diet and measured their athletic performance. Exactly the same. and only 1 of the athletes was actually diagnosed by a doctor as being gluten intolerant, the rest went to the internet to diagnose themselves. This was a great video, none the less and I'm looking forward to more video like this ! and honestly Amelia can do whatever she wants :)
Oats do not naturally contain gluten. It is only necessary to eat gluten free oats if you have coeliac disease and may be sensitive to the contamination of oats with other gluten containing products during the manufacturing process. The only difference in gluten free oats is that they are manufactured away from other gluten containing products. It is completely obscene and a waste of money to eat gluten free oats which are usually double the cost of normal oats if you do not have coeliac disease or a severe sensitivity to gluten. I don't mean to criticise Amelia - as adults we can all choose to eat the way we want and it's great to see a better awareness of what we put in our bodies! But it's best to not believe all the health guru nonsense you read on Instagram.
Amelia, normal oats do NOT contain gluten.. there is absolutely no need to switch to gluten free. Those are only for (HIGHLY) allergic people who can choke because of there being a small cross contamination within the factory that packages them. Please don't fall into the hype of this, people really need to learn to understand what their foods actually contains, instead of focusing on certain buzzwords (such as glutenfree) and as a influencer, you can help them do that. Otherwise, lovely video and the dessert looked so yummy! :)
+Nicola Fitzgerald Yes Nicola, it affects you BECAUSE you are celiac. Amelia says that she enjoys bagels and other things with wheat and gluten regularly, so for her it will make absolutely no real difference to have normal organic oats (which are naturally gluten-free) instead of (labelled) glutenfree oats, because she is NOT celiac.
Amelia! Since you're not actually coeliac or intolerant, you don't need to buy gluten free oats - oats are naturally gluten free, but they *can* be contaminated either during harvesting or processing which is why they make GF ones. Save your pennies!
This all (minus the chicken) looked so great! You should do more of these in the future! Defo gonna try the crisp bread with strawberries and almond butter yum! X
Not all vegans are trying to bach meat eaters. We just try to show that there is no need to eat animals to be heathy. I'm very happy most of her meals were vegan! :)
i'm a vegeterian and i've never insulted someone for eating meat..everyone has their own life and will live it the way he wants.. so please stop fighting about food.. everyone cares for himself.. :)
Sorry but this video was a bit off key I think. There's nothing wrong with refined sugar and gluten in a healthy balanced diet. Also what are you on about keeping your stomach alkaline? It's acid and will return to an acidic state no matter what you eat.
+Moonbaby Apparently studies suggest that there is one main benefit from going gluten free: it leads you to a better diet in general. I am a coeliac myself and seen a lot of my friends go gluten-free and loose a bunch of weight and they started to eat much better.
+Moonbaby Gluten gives me headaches, joint pain and foggy brain. Took me 15 years to discover this as I am not a coeliac. I cut out all gluten and feel 20 years younger. I love gluten laden foods and this has been very difficult for me, but now that I know how much better I feel, I will continue to be gluten free. Please don't assume that you know how gluten effects everyone. Thank you! :)
+Moonbaby I was hospitalized for migraines and was put on a gluten free diet and now rarely get them. For some people this isn't just a trend or fab; it's the only way we can live pain free.
+Moonbaby Ever heard of non-celiac gluten sensitivity or gluten allergy? check out arthritis.org or just google gluten sensitivity to learn about the extra-intestinal symptoms of this condition before making judgements please
+Moonbaby I totally agree, people are just following trends and doing it for the sake of it. I have family members who are actually coeliac and suffer awfully when any gluten is in their diet, people who are just jumping on the bandwagon are illegitimizing this disease and making it seem as a fad when some people do actually suffer.
Amelia, darling, be strong if freela and the vegans start bash you. I like you and btw the chicken looked great. I am eating chicken as I watch this video.
+Gabrielė Stasiukynaitė I was literally just about to say this...every time someone I am subscribed to posts a "What I Eat" video, I try to warn them because god knows Freelee will find her way over to this video
I'm so sorry Amelia, I love your videos but I have to say something ....Not eating gluten can make you gluten intolerant and trust me you do not want to be gluten intolerant!! There is nothing wrong with gluten, gluten free products do not make them any more healthy for you! Do yourself a favour and stop before it's too late! This is purely advice and I did like the video xx
She mentioned she tries to avoid gluten where she can which is also what I do. There's too much gluten and sugar in the western diet and it doesn't hurt to cut back here and there when you can. Or she may already be gluten intolerant. Either way I am sure she knows what she is doing.
+Chloe Elizabeth to be honest I have met too many people who believe that eating products without gluten is good for them so they obviously don't understand the implications. She doesn't mention she is gluten intolerant and I am merely providing some personal advice, I wouldn't wish a gluten intolerance on anyone it is not pleasant especially for those of us who really enjoy food x
Totally gonna make that sauce! Just to let you know the reason why you're craving sugar in the afternoon is due to you not eating enough glucose based products in the morning for example - fruit. Our bodies run on carbs and glucose and judging by this you're not eating anywhere near enough. Also, minus the chicken you'd be near enough vegan 👌🏼
Love your videos but eating gluten free 'when you can' is a very very annoying thing. It's people going out and saying oh Im gluten free but dont worry I'll have the bagel, etc. that leaves those suffering from coeliac disease struggling to be taken seriously or find safe food. The amount of times I have been told something is gluten free but upon further questions found it to involve something that would trigger my autoimmune reaction is incredible and it is because of the gluten free 'fad' eating that this occurs. Gluten free is not healthier for anyone but those who are coeliac or gluten intolerant. In fact, most of the time gluten free foods are more calorie dense and higher in fats etc.
+TheCaseyLouise I have the same issue with my dairy intolerance! I have to specifically say now "I'm not a hipster, I have a real intolerance" to be taken seriously
+SaeKato We say we 'love' animals... yet we choose to eat them. It's merely hypocritical is all and as MShep3310 it's the idea of cognitive dissonance. Why eat one animal but put another on a pedestal and gush over how cute/adorable it is? Why is that animals life worth more than the other which we are made to believe we should it because it's """healthy"""
+Carly Panagio all she said was she likes a mug and everyone's flipping out. Can you just give it a rest and not constantly find reasons to bash people.
I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more recipes. Can you please explain how lemon keeps you system alkaline when lemons are so acidic? Thanks.
Dear Vegans--- we get it!!! Leave her and everyone else in the world who makes the personal choice to not be vegan....just that. Leave them alone to make that personal choice. Or don't watch the videos
It's not about personal choice but about so many more implications that come with eating meat. It affects us all, the earth and the animals. It's not like you are just affecting yourself.
+diegolitito there are ways to still eat some meat and fish and still help with sustainable living. It's about being educated. Not attacking everyone who doesn't choose the same lifestyle. Which most vegans do. It's what gives you a bad stereotype. You can educate while being respectful.

+carolinabridge Well please explain to me how farming meat is more sustainable in comparison to farming plants, which is what vegans are advocating, farming and eating plants only. Furthermore, it is about education first and foremost. Most meat eaters aren't well educated about their habit of eating dead animal flesh. In addition to that, if it is about respect, like you state it, where is the respect for the life of other sentient beings, as all the farm animals are sentient beings? Vegans are not harming your lifes, just your ego, at most.
+carolinabridge Reminds me of those arguments against slavery back in the day "We get it, you don't own slaves. But some people do, and it's their choice, so just let them do it."
I think this is a great video and you eat really well, your diet is full of nutritious, non processed foods. I would only suggest you research a little more about some of the choices you make. I won't go into the gluten thing, thats been done to death here, but things like himalayan sea salt, kale and 'alkaline' diets are rarely backed up by science/physiology and are mostly expensive/faddy/fashionable ways of choosing ingredients. Save yourself some money and spend it on some good dark chocolate or a nice bottle of wine. Having said all that I can't wait to try the roasted cashew salad - looks AMAZING xx
Beautiful Video- This goes to show that just because it's healthy doesn't mean it has to taste (or look) bad!! All of your meals looked so beautiful and I love that you take the time to plate all your food! Thanks for the inspiration!
Just a heads up, there is a good chance that Freelee will make a response video. Please don't let it ruin your view of veganism. I am a vegan and I don't want people to get the impression that vegans are preachy and think they have the right to put others down :)
Everytime I watch one of these "what I eat in a day" videos it surprises me that your strongest meal is dinner. I've always been told we should eat a big healthy breakfast, a fulfilling lunch (protein+healthy carb+salad) and a light dinner (salad)....and you guys do it backwards. I'm not hating, I'm just curious because I eat very similar but inverting your lunch and dinner. The same with dessert. I thought it was best, if you're going to eat sugar or any kind of treat, doing it early during the day because you're more likely to burn it off. I really liked this video because it gave me ideas but Amelia, don't cut off gluten if you don't have celiac disease. This whole gluten-free trend is getting ridiculous, it's not unhealthy if you're not allergic. Thank you for the video, have a great day!
+Bárbara Rivera I know. But it may also depend on when you eat dinner. If you eat it aroung 6 pm and don't og to bed until midnight you might need a big dinner to fill you up for the evening. Especially if you are doing something..
+Bárbara Rivera I'm curious if you work how you manage to eat a big lunch? It seems more practical to have a lighter/quicker meal while at your job and then cook a bigger meal in the evening when you have more time.
+Debbie Prins Yeah, I know it's more practical. I still bring with me my lunch (like maybe chicken with brown rice and salad or pasta o something) and then eat a lighter dinner. I understand it's more practical what you say, makes sense, it's just I'm curious because I feel like I gain weight when I eat more during the evening. Anyway, I was not hating on Amelia :)
Oh my god people CHILL OUT! So many passive-aggressive comments in there! " Chicken? healthy? don't think so" and other ridiculous things, --> for fucks sake, none of your business. I'm a vegetarian but I am facepalming when I see all these comments. Why do you absolutely NEED to raise your proselyte voice on there. Chillax and respect whatever other people decide to do, your body your rules. Have a nice week end everyone
Still waiting to meet another vegan that doesn't brutally criticise meat eaters...like seriously I never feel the need to shove my opinions or diet into someone's face when they haven't asked for the advice like many other vegans do...
Food is such a personal thing and everyone should eat whatever the F they want. I hate when people are preachy about food. Let people be, jeez. Nice video, Amelia.
So I'm going to buy a few black people in the market this afternoon and use them as slaves. Pretty sure its called evolution. We are constantly learning what is right from wrong and changing the way we live.
I really enjoyed the okra recipe the best. I usually eat them in stews so they're typically mushy and unappetizing. Another pretty tasty simple dressing: mashed avocado, chile, garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, s&p.
This is awesome! I loved that almost all the meals were Vegan! Would you consider going fully vegan? If I'm not mistaken the only thing that wasn't vegan was the chicken. Just cut it out, avoid the cruelty! Other than that the meals looked delicious.
+Chelsea Elizabeth It's not her lifestyle choice if it comes at the cost of somebody else's life. It wasn't the animal's choice to die & be put on someone's plate.
+Lex Some people can't go vegan because of health reasons. I'm one of those people. So don't go suggesting people should do something that can be damaging to their health without doing your own research. And even if she wasn't, let people make their own lifestyle choices.
Everything looks super yummy! but one thing i dont get is this obsession people have with gluten right now.. unless you are celiac there is no reason for not eating it.. its just a protein...
Reading through the top comments has made me feel so angry! If you are going to write something mean, write it in a constructive way. I really like these types of videos Amelia and would be so happy to see many more in the future. What you eat is down to you and your body, so don't listen to what others have to say unless it's constructive criticism! You are honestly so so super amazing, so keep on doing what you do! Xxxx
I know, right...annoys me the amount of vegans telling others to stop eating meat and blah blah blah...why people have the need to tell others what to do??
+Mrs15swain05 because non-vegans are killing the planet that we ALL have to live on. Vegans are actually looking out for you by suggesting you go vegan, but you're so selfish you get mad about it instead.
Amanda R See...another one...accusing like 90% of population selfish. Actually I might be selfish but you are rude and judgmental...and argument about meat eaters killing planet is so stupid, honestly...get something new, you just repeat the same old story that's not even true 🙈
+Mrs15swain05 I agree that some vegans' messages come across as rude and judgemental so I understand what you mean but the good message kind of gets lost in translation. Animal agriculture is the single most damaging act to the earth currently (particularly impacting global warming extensively). It overtakes CO2 production from all transport mediums on earth. Obviously it's not realistic to expect everyone to turn vegan overnight - not at all. It's just about being aware and perhaps cutting down meat and dairy consumption. Without me educating myself on the matter, I wouldn't have known the impact that animal agriculture has so I absolutely do not judge meat eaters at all. I do, however, make a judgement on those who are not open to listening to the facts and puts their tastebuds solely in more importance than the planet that future generations are going to be living on. I can understand your angst and I hope you don't see this as rude - not my intention at all. X
+Abi Guy Understood but I don't support supermarket chains, I source my meat and dairy products from local farm where animals aren't mass produced. I pay for my eggs triple the price that's in the supermarkets but I don't mind that. I don't agree with mass production and I know they are very cruel to animals but I am really not against local farms. Farm locally to me has chickens running on the field in the summer and inside heated barn in the winter...they really are "happy chickens"... And the fact I eat meat shouldn't bother others ;) At least I don't shop at Tesco's - they get their meat from God-knows-where but definitely some weird disgusting place...
Yes we can. I cook a lot of meals on Sunday for work throughout the week. You just have to make the time & effort. All of the meals she made don't even take that long to prepare.
Everything looks delicious (apart from the chicken)! I suggest you to replace your chicken with tofu or lentils, beans...etc. Black beans with quinoa is really good, you should try it ^^. I love your look as well. You look so pretty as always.
"keep my tummy in an alkaline state" I had to go to google to freaking understand why an acid - like lemon juice- is considered alkaline.... Aaaaaaand I'm just gonna leave this here: "Due to the lack of credible evidence supporting any benefits of this diet (alkaline), it is generally not recommended by dietitians and other health professionals."
I have a healthy eating cook book based around an alkaline diet (I'm still not to sure what the benefits are I just wanted healthy pizza and other recipes) but the alkalinity is to do with how things are digested in your stomach! Basically them lemon changes from acidic to alkaline/neutral (not sure exactly what happens) when it's digested so it's not about what the food is before you eat it but how it reacts and changes in your body before being absorbed into your blood 😄
Keeping your body alkaline is definetly important ! a body who is too acid is the perfect environment to grow cancer and so many other diseases ! But I guess doctors won't tell you that ...
What's with all these comments people?! Sad that you see people's flaws but not their greatness. Not being a vegan is not even a flaw. Smh narrow minded people.
+shannonigans86 wow guys, no this isn't true at all. We all have to share this planet together and when people eat animals it contributes to the destruction of this planet. I'm sorry but I would really love it if people would stop using their selfish reasons (taste buds) to keep destroying the planet I have to share with them. I don't care if you want to get cancer or heart disease, and I understand not everyone loves animals and doesn't mind if they're raped, tortured and die a slow, painful death. But I DO care that you are destroying my home and my offspring's chance at a life without an apocalypse just because you can't give up 1 or 2 food items. Vegans are the ones thinking of others, so yeah I think that does make them morally superior.
+Nicole Evangelista iF If anything, vegans are the most open minded people on earth. They educated themselves to become more aware of what they are eating. They're eating the most sustainable diet on earth. So how is that narrow minded? You should educate yourself on the importance of veganism before you claim that they're narrow minded people. Sure, not being vegan is not a flaw but your eating habits are slaughtering millions of animals across the world leading to deforestation. Is that narrow minded if they're care about the environment?
I wish I worked from home. I honestly think I'd be so much more healthy during the day. I get half an hour for lunch and have the facilities of a crappy staff room so it's a bit awkward. I loved all of this food apart from the chicken, it looked healthy but tasty.
im genuinely confused why gluten free is such a big thing now? i thought gluten was only bad for you if you're diagnosed with celiac disease/gluten intolerance?
Yes you're right. I watched a BBC program on it and that's exactly what he said. Only a small amount of people gluten sensitivity. I'm going through the tests now as my brother has celiac and I haven't been well. Dr said sometimes it can run in the family 😫 praying it doesn't because to actually be gluten sensitive is a real pain. To be fair though all the food she made looked totally tasty!! X
+Aisha Colindres Because its the trendy food villain du jour. Once upon a time it was any and all fat, eggs, etc. Less about nutrition and more about hysteria about nutrition, yes?
+Aisha Colindres You are right, It's just a trend right now... As a biology and health education student I've read quite a few articles/studies , which actually say, that you shouldn' t be skipping gluten, unsless you have some kind of intolerance or celiac disease.
+Aisha Colanders gluten is generally not a healthy thing..human bodies weren't meant to eat wheat or other grains containing gluten for a long time but then we discovered it and over time ate more and more. now because we tend to grow our food with loads of chemicals and toxic fertilizer the gluten we eat today has changed from the gluten that we ate decades of years ago when it was still relatively ok to digest. it's now become quite resistant to many of our stomach acids and carries a bunch of those chemicals that it then transports into our system - which is why generally, gluten are not the best thing for us whether we are allergic or not. this is a common problem with many things though, since everything that's not organic brings nasty chemicals and toxins into our body.
+Georgia C I was watching and was thinking oh "ok Amelia is going good no animal products yet..." And then she was pan frying some chicken and I was thinking "oh no :("
Yeah I thought oh she'll be happy with the first few meals and snacks but then attack her for the chicken!! I hope she doesn't though, I really love Amelia's videos and this has been one I've been waiting for her to do
Actually, there's no scientific study proving that lemon juice is good for your stomach, your skin or whatsoever. However, your doctor can advise you take a lemon or orange juice everyday if you do suffer from kidney stones. This is the only benefit of lemon juice.
I loved your dressing! I actually bought tahini recently and didn't know what to do with it. Now I'll be making this salad and dressing 😍. I would love to see more videos like this. Plus I love listening to you talk. I have family in England.
Hey guys! Hope you enjoy my first What I Eat In A Day video! I've kept it pretty healthy as I normally try and be during the week! Taking you through breakfast, lunch, snacks & dinner! Give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it!! Love xxx
Please don't stop doing these videos! I love them
+Amelia Liana Hey Amelia! I'm a dietistic student and I just wanted to tell you that you shouldn't worry about drinking while eating, it actually helps digestion because water dilute the bolus. I myself don't drink much water when I'm eating because it makes me very full, but a glass or two is a good idea.

I was under the impression gluten-free is being followed as a fad and actually only those that are gluten intolerant or celiac need to be avoiding gluten. But I will consider what you say and look into this further myself. Thanks again!
+Bianca Brescia actually below 7.35 is acidosis.
+Baby Boo Bear Productions i was aware too that the whole gluten free thing is a fad
I just don't understand why people who are able to eat gluten and aren't coeliac are so caught up on eating gluten free?? Gluten is not the enemy and is no healthier than foods that contain gluten
+shannon starface I really don't understand either.... >.>
Just a trend I guess...
+shannon starface Gluten free seems handy for sportspeople wanting to consume extra calories without feeling full or stodgy, but apart from that I'm not sure it's necessary. But to each their own.
+shannon starface I agree :( I am Coeliac and I'm confused. Gluten is only bad for people with the auto-immune disease/gluten intolerance
+shannon starface yes!!
shannon starface
I died at the "I was having dinner by myself" when you were clearly being filmed by someone else. Amelia, gurl! LOL
To those of you frustrated that non-celiac sufferers are avoiding gluten - there are other diseases that are also treated by avoiding gluten. Most auto-immune disorders (of which celiac disease is one example) can and do go into remission by altering ones diet. I was told by my doctor to avoid gluten and dairy to treat my illnesses. I understand your frustration, many people eat GF, DF, and organic because it's trendy, but as others have pointed out, this makes eating and buying GF easier because it's more widely available. It would be lovely if we could focus more on education, and less on shaming. :)
Omg everything looks so yummy!! Loved this video girl xx
Love you Alex! Xx
OMG gloopy porridge is life! And adding a heaped tsp of raw cacao powder with it, is just HEAVENLY!
Unless you're intolerant to gluten there is no reason to stay away from it at all!
I know! Now it's a trendy plague, apparently everyone suffers Celiac sprue.
I know, it's just a waste of money going out of your way to find gluten free products when there's no reason for it🙄
Hun, you don't need to cut out gluten.. It's not bad for you! (Unless you're allergic)

2 chicken periods to go please "But if you replace gluten-containing products with their gluten-free counterparts, you’re likely to ingest more sugar and fat (and therefore calories), says Crowe. Just because more gluten-free products exist than ever before, doesn’t mean you should eat them."
+Orla O'Neill Yes and sometimes the gluten free flours are way more refined.
+Alicia Ryan It is, but can be contaminated with gluten. (I don't know how) So celiacs need to get certified gluten free oats.
There's nothing bad about eating gluten unless you're allergic...
+Maria Lyng (MariaLyngg) sure there is, people like myself who aren't allergic to gluten still are affected by it. I get cystic acne and feel bloated when I consume gluten and it makes me tired. I still eat it because I love it but I have noticed when I restrict myself from it, I glow frown within!
@@jemalv2649 so that means you ARE affected by it ....
As someone who suffers from celiac disease it's so frustrating when people say "I'm trying to say off gluten" who don't suffer one bit from it. Just as FYI but gluten is in more than just bread and oats. And by making gluten free a "trendy" fad makes it more expensive for those who actually need these products! I'm not trying to be mean I'm just stating the obvious.
+slaterpuggs But also this trend is making it more widely available and I now find gluten free options everywhere! Pros and cons I guess
+slaterpuggs Don't worry in a few years there will be something else that everyone will be afraid of. But yeah I agree with you, Amelia probably doesn't even fully understand. And the way she says it just seems so pretentious. "GLOO-TON Free" Annoying.
+slaterpuggs Before this "fad", gluten-free choices were barely available anywhere. Not sure what the issue is.
slaterpuggs absolutely! I have Celiac Disease and a severe dairy allergy, as in my throats swells up, and when I see or talk to people who are "going gluten free" or are dairy free (and not because they are vegan), drives me crazy. I agree the fads jack up the prices for us that need it for survival. Oh god I hate it when I explain I have CD and a severe dairy allergy and someone says, "me too I don't eat gluten or dairy" Um not the same thing, you choose to spend $9 on a small loaf of gluten free bread because it's cool and I have to if I want a fucking sand which?!
i wish people would understand this, all Gluten is is Texture to breads and cereals, the reason some people don't eat it is for medical diagnoses, but for dietary reasons its so point, you gain the same calories,fat,sugars and carbs as you do eating gluten, so you may aswell enjoy regular breads and cakes which taste nicer, and cheaper, or simply cut it from your diet completely if you want to benefit yourself, other then that, gluten free product are not going to make you healthier or skinnier. save your money.
I love these video!! But agree with so many others it is unnecessary to cut out gluten.. It's become an almost trend to do it. And this doesn't promote a healthy relationship with food and encourages others to feel bad for eating gluten. Often gluten free foods are higher in fat./sugar to compensate for lack of gluten. Yes it is personal preference I totally get that and yes Amelia can eat what she wants and if it works for her and her health that's great but for others it simply isn't required to cut it out in order to be 'healthy', unless you have an intolerance.
+Liv Cawley I totally agree, its become kind of a fad and it really upsetting cause such a small percentage of the population are actually gluten intolerant and they only way you know if you are is by a blood test ! now its fair to say that some food I've eaten are gluten free just because they taste good, but i don't believe you should centre your whole diet around the fact that everything must be gluten free :) Eating gluten if you aren't gluten free makes no difference to your weight, athletic performance ect. There was actually a great study on athletes who over 80% said they were gluten intolerant, over the course of a month gave 1/2 a gluten free diet and 1/2 a normal gluten diet and measured their athletic performance. Exactly the same. and only 1 of the athletes was actually diagnosed by a doctor as being gluten intolerant, the rest went to the internet to diagnose themselves. This was a great video, none the less and I'm looking forward to more video like this ! and honestly Amelia can do whatever she wants :)
Oats do not naturally contain gluten. It is only necessary to eat gluten free oats if you have coeliac disease and may be sensitive to the contamination of oats with other gluten containing products during the manufacturing process. The only difference in gluten free oats is that they are manufactured away from other gluten containing products. It is completely obscene and a waste of money to eat gluten free oats which are usually double the cost of normal oats if you do not have coeliac disease or a severe sensitivity to gluten.
I don't mean to criticise Amelia - as adults we can all choose to eat the way we want and it's great to see a better awareness of what we put in our bodies! But it's best to not believe all the health guru nonsense you read on Instagram.
Amelia, normal oats do NOT contain gluten.. there is absolutely no need to switch to gluten free. Those are only for (HIGHLY) allergic people who can choke because of there being a small cross contamination within the factory that packages them. Please don't fall into the hype of this, people really need to learn to understand what their foods actually contains, instead of focusing on certain buzzwords (such as glutenfree) and as a influencer, you can help them do that. Otherwise, lovely video and the dessert looked so yummy! :)
They are nearly alway cross-contaminated by other grains as they are normally grown alongside wheat or barley. It effects me and I am celiac.
+Nicola Fitzgerald Yes Nicola, it affects you BECAUSE you are celiac. Amelia says that she enjoys bagels and other things with wheat and gluten regularly, so for her it will make absolutely no real difference to have normal organic oats (which are naturally gluten-free) instead of (labelled) glutenfree oats, because she is NOT celiac.
+Gyðja Trondardottir was just about to say exactly this. lol.
Amelia! Since you're not actually coeliac or intolerant, you don't need to buy gluten free oats - oats are naturally gluten free, but they *can* be contaminated either during harvesting or processing which is why they make GF ones. Save your pennies!
Also please don't buy gluten free oats because they're always sold out in the supermarket and I can't eat normal oats!!
+Helen McFarlane Good point!
This all (minus the chicken) looked so great! You should do more of these in the future! Defo gonna try the crisp bread with strawberries and almond butter yum! X
Yess I agree!! :)
i love your pans where are they from?
+cheekymonkey1488 All saints :)
+Amelia Liana All Saints sells pans??
All Saints sell pans? I thought they just sold clothes & shoes.. 😱
I think Amelia thinks you said pants lol
+cheekymonkey1488 omg I thought you said pants!!! hahaha!!! My pans are from John Lewis! Sorry!!!! xxx
I love the way this was filmed and edited! :)
Not all vegans are trying to bach meat eaters. We just try to show that there is no need to eat animals to be heathy. I'm very happy most of her meals were vegan! :)
There's nothing wrong with gluten. If you are not allergic to it, don't need to go gluten free.
Please make more of this Amelia ! It really motivates me to eat more healthy
i'm a vegeterian and i've never insulted someone for eating meat..everyone has their own life and will live it the way he wants.. so please stop fighting about food.. everyone cares for himself.. :)
Thank you.
Sorry but this video was a bit off key I think. There's nothing wrong with refined sugar and gluten in a healthy balanced diet. Also what are you on about keeping your stomach alkaline? It's acid and will return to an acidic state no matter what you eat.
There is literally no benefit to cutting out gluten unless you are a coeliac... Where are people getting this idea from
+Moonbaby Apparently studies suggest that there is one main benefit from going gluten free: it leads you to a better diet in general. I am a coeliac myself and seen a lot of my friends go gluten-free and loose a bunch of weight and they started to eat much better.
+Moonbaby Gluten gives me headaches, joint pain and foggy brain. Took me 15 years to discover this as I am not a coeliac. I cut out all gluten and feel 20 years younger. I love gluten laden foods and this has been very difficult for me, but now that I know how much better I feel, I will continue to be gluten free. Please don't assume that you know how gluten effects everyone. Thank you! :)
+Moonbaby I was hospitalized for migraines and was put on a gluten free diet and now rarely get them. For some people this isn't just a trend or fab; it's the only way we can live pain free.
+Moonbaby Ever heard of non-celiac gluten sensitivity or gluten allergy? check out arthritis.org or just google gluten sensitivity to learn about the extra-intestinal symptoms of this condition before making judgements please
+Moonbaby I totally agree, people are just following trends and doing it for the sake of it. I have family members who are actually coeliac and suffer awfully when any gluten is in their diet, people who are just jumping on the bandwagon are illegitimizing this disease and making it seem as a fad when some people do actually suffer.
Yeah the morning " lemon tea" is so great, it helps to keep fit
Amelia, darling, be strong if freela and the vegans start bash you. I like you and btw the chicken looked great. I am eating chicken as I watch this video.
Lmao
Lol 😂😂😂 , I know what you mean , well done warning Amelia before the storm 😁
+Gabrielė Stasiukynaitė I was literally just about to say this...every time someone I am subscribed to posts a "What I Eat" video, I try to warn them because god knows Freelee will find her way over to this video
Danielle The way she finds these videos is that her followers write about them on her tumblr.
+Gabrielė Stasiukynaitė Not all vegans will bash her. Don't generalize. I am vegan and am not like that.
more of these please! Love your healthy food ideas and recipes, you always encourage me to have a healthy and balance life style!
I loved that so much of this was vegan friendly! I'm also a huge fan of gloopy porridge and THAT KALE SALAD THOUGH 😍 X
LOVED THIS! Very great healthy twist to your meals! I'll definitely be trying some! More videos like this definitely!
I'm so sorry Amelia, I love your videos but I have to say something ....Not eating gluten can make you gluten intolerant and trust me you do not want to be gluten intolerant!! There is nothing wrong with gluten, gluten free products do not make them any more healthy for you! Do yourself a favour and stop before it's too late! This is purely advice and I did like the video xx
She mentioned she tries to avoid gluten where she can which is also what I do. There's too much gluten and sugar in the western diet and it doesn't hurt to cut back here and there when you can. Or she may already be gluten intolerant. Either way I am sure she knows what she is doing.
+Chloe Elizabeth to be honest I have met too many people who believe that eating products without gluten is good for them so they obviously don't understand the implications. She doesn't mention she is gluten intolerant and I am merely providing some personal advice, I wouldn't wish a gluten intolerance on anyone it is not pleasant especially for those of us who really enjoy food x
+Absolutely Annie Of course it is a better idea to have gluten damage your gut until it cannot heal itself anymore. Great advice!
More of these videos! loved this, so easy and healthy.
so many wonderful plant based options!
Everything looked so good, Amelia! You also made the preparation look easy. Hope to try to make one of these dishes,
Totally gonna make that sauce! Just to let you know the reason why you're craving sugar in the afternoon is due to you not eating enough glucose based products in the morning for example - fruit. Our bodies run on carbs and glucose and judging by this you're not eating anywhere near enough. Also, minus the chicken you'd be near enough vegan 👌🏼
I so agree on the thick, gloopy porridge! And I'm reallyloojing forward to trying out your dressing recipe asap 😊
This was such a relaxing video to watch! Amazing filming & editing x
I really enjoy all of your videos, thank you for sharing your fitness tips with us and waiting for more
Love your videos but eating gluten free 'when you can' is a very very annoying thing. It's people going out and saying oh Im gluten free but dont worry I'll have the bagel, etc. that leaves those suffering from coeliac disease struggling to be taken seriously or find safe food. The amount of times I have been told something is gluten free but upon further questions found it to involve something that would trigger my autoimmune reaction is incredible and it is because of the gluten free 'fad' eating that this occurs. Gluten free is not healthier for anyone but those who are coeliac or gluten intolerant. In fact, most of the time gluten free foods are more calorie dense and higher in fats etc.
Thank you!
+TheCaseyLouise I have the same issue with my dairy intolerance! I have to specifically say now "I'm not a hipster, I have a real intolerance" to be taken seriously
Your kale salad and dressing looks ah-mazing! Thanks for the recipe, Amelia!!
That salad looked really good! I think I'm going to give it a try ;)
"How cute is this penguin mug" ... eats a chicken.
+w3sb... Cognitive Dissonance :(
+w3sb As if she could not say that lol. I also like penguins... or are MEAT EATERS not allowed to like stuff? xD
+SaeKato We say we 'love' animals... yet we choose to eat them. It's merely hypocritical is all and as MShep3310 it's the idea of cognitive dissonance. Why eat one animal but put another on a pedestal and gush over how cute/adorable it is? Why is that animals life worth more than the other which we are made to believe we should it because it's """healthy"""
+Carly Panagio all she said was she likes a mug and everyone's flipping out. Can you just give it a rest and not constantly find reasons to bash people.
So happy to see so many wise people in the comments. Love to all you fellow vegans
I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more recipes. Can you please explain how lemon keeps you system alkaline when lemons are so acidic? Thanks.
+Kate www.joyoushealth.com/blog/2015/02/14/health-benefits-lemon-water/
Dear Vegans--- we get it!!!
Leave her and everyone else in the world who makes the personal choice to not be vegan....just that. Leave them alone to make that personal choice.
Or don't watch the videos
It's not about personal choice but about so many more implications that come with eating meat. It affects us all, the earth and the animals. It's not like you are just affecting yourself.
+diegolitito there are ways to still eat some meat and fish and still help with sustainable living. It's about being educated. Not attacking everyone who doesn't choose the same lifestyle. Which most vegans do. It's what gives you a bad stereotype. You can educate while being respectful.
+diegolitito there are ways to still eat some meat and fish and still help with sustainable living. It's about being educated. Not attacking everyone who doesn't choose the same lifestyle. Which most vegans do. It's what gives you a bad stereotype. You can educate while being respectful.
+carolinabridge Well please explain to me how farming meat is more sustainable in comparison to farming plants, which is what vegans are advocating, farming and eating plants only. Furthermore, it is about education first and foremost. Most meat eaters aren't well educated about their habit of eating dead animal flesh. In addition to that, if it is about respect, like you state it, where is the respect for the life of other sentient beings, as all the farm animals are sentient beings? Vegans are not harming your lifes, just your ego, at most.
+carolinabridge Reminds me of those arguments against slavery back in the day
"We get it, you don't own slaves. But some people do, and it's their choice, so just let them do it."
What brand of pots and pans do you recommend? Thank you. Wonderful video. 💜💜💖💜💜
When your food is that funny that u sound like you're laughing thoughout the whole video
seriously. she's a bit annoying doing that
Def trying that salad dressing! Love this vid!
wait for the freelee the banana girl & vegan army to come HAAH
+Megan Chins I left the exact same comment! xD
My thoughts exactly!
+Megan Chins I was thinking the same thing! Girl needs a hobby
+Megan Chins im vegan and im happily watching this! apart from the chicken her day was vegan!
Loved this video and the salad!!! You eat so healthy great inspiration to me.
so happy that most of yours meals are vegan :D
YUM!! Such great healthy meal ideas!!
I think this is a great video and you eat really well, your diet is full of nutritious, non processed foods. I would only suggest you research a little more about some of the choices you make. I won't go into the gluten thing, thats been done to death here, but things like himalayan sea salt, kale and 'alkaline' diets are rarely backed up by science/physiology and are mostly expensive/faddy/fashionable ways of choosing ingredients. Save yourself some money and spend it on some good dark chocolate or a nice bottle of wine. Having said all that I can't wait to try the roasted cashew salad - looks AMAZING xx
Beautiful Video- This goes to show that just because it's healthy doesn't mean it has to taste (or look) bad!! All of your meals looked so beautiful and I love that you take the time to plate all your food! Thanks for the inspiration!
Just a heads up, there is a good chance that Freelee will make a response video. Please don't let it ruin your view of veganism. I am a vegan and I don't want people to get the impression that vegans are preachy and think they have the right to put others down :)
Thank you!! You are the first vegan not saying stupid things & slagging meat eaters off...good for you 😊
I love these types of videos I get such great ideas.
Everytime I watch one of these "what I eat in a day" videos it surprises me that your strongest meal is dinner. I've always been told we should eat a big healthy breakfast, a fulfilling lunch (protein+healthy carb+salad) and a light dinner (salad)....and you guys do it backwards. I'm not hating, I'm just curious because I eat very similar but inverting your lunch and dinner.
The same with dessert. I thought it was best, if you're going to eat sugar or any kind of treat, doing it early during the day because you're more likely to burn it off.
I really liked this video because it gave me ideas but Amelia, don't cut off gluten if you don't have celiac disease. This whole gluten-free trend is getting ridiculous, it's not unhealthy if you're not allergic.
Thank you for the video, have a great day!
+Bárbara Rivera I know. But it may also depend on when you eat dinner. If you eat it aroung 6 pm and don't og to bed until midnight you might need a big dinner to fill you up for the evening. Especially if you are doing something..
+Bárbara Rivera I'm curious if you work how you manage to eat a big lunch? It seems more practical to have a lighter/quicker meal while at your job and then cook a bigger meal in the evening when you have more time.
+Debbie Prins Yeah, I know it's more practical. I still bring with me my lunch (like maybe chicken with brown rice and salad or pasta o something) and then eat a lighter dinner. I understand it's more practical what you say, makes sense, it's just I'm curious because I feel like I gain weight when I eat more during the evening. Anyway, I was not hating on Amelia :)
Loved this. Please could you do more xx💟
Oh my god people CHILL OUT! So many passive-aggressive comments in there!
" Chicken? healthy? don't think so" and other ridiculous things, --> for fucks sake, none of your business. I'm a vegetarian but I am facepalming when I see all these comments. Why do you absolutely NEED to raise your proselyte voice on there.
Chillax and respect whatever other people decide to do, your body your rules.
Have a nice week end everyone
That salad looks amazing! I'm definitely going to have to try that sometime!
Still waiting to meet another vegan that doesn't brutally criticise meat eaters...like seriously I never feel the need to shove my opinions or diet into someone's face when they haven't asked for the advice like many other vegans do...
I don't! Eating meat is a personal choice and it suits some people, the way being vegan is my choice and suits me. each to their own, I say :)
+Erin Carroll its not personal. Its not personal.
***** why not let them?
try lisa lorles shes really sweet and doesnt push her lifestyle into anyone
***** oh sorry, i thought you said that you think you have the right to decide that "they dont have a choice" sorry :)
Loved this video, would be amazing if you did more of these
Damn Amelia! Back at it again with that slammin bod!
Oh my God! Everything looks delicious! Your kitchen looks gorgeous too!
Food is such a personal thing and everyone should eat whatever the F they want. I hate when people are preachy about food. Let people be, jeez. Nice video, Amelia.
Yesss! Thank you
+Sofia Animals are not food, calling them food is murder. Sorry people are preachy about murdering innocent lives.
+Susan Young Except humans have been eating them for millions of years....
But no, they're definitely not classified as food.
So I'm going to buy a few black people in the market this afternoon and use them as slaves. Pretty sure its called evolution. We are constantly learning what is right from wrong and changing the way we live.
I loved this! thanks for the meal inspo.. that salad dressing looks amazing!!
Officially hungry now, love all the hidden hearts :-p
+Serein Wu heheh aren't they cute!
pro trick : you can watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Gannon Aydin definitely, I have been using flixzone for since november myself :)
I really enjoyed the okra recipe the best. I usually eat them in stews so they're typically mushy and unappetizing. Another pretty tasty simple dressing: mashed avocado, chile, garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, s&p.
This video was more about the kitchen than the meals...
+Nayanka Francisco More about her insane, "i'm-either-about-to-break-into-tears-or-faux-hysterical-laughter" sociopath voice.
Oh my gosh when you were setting the mug down on the glass table I got so confused because I thought it was floating for a second.
This is awesome! I loved that almost all the meals were Vegan! Would you consider going fully vegan? If I'm not mistaken the only thing that wasn't vegan was the chicken. Just cut it out, avoid the cruelty! Other than that the meals looked delicious.
+kaja bingham I hope so!! she's so sweet and nice that when she learns the truth I think she would strongly consider it at least :) (fingers crossed)
+kaja bingham or you could let her make her own lifestyle choices :)
+Chelsea Elizabeth
It's not her lifestyle choice if it comes at the cost of somebody else's life. It wasn't the animal's choice to die & be put on someone's plate.
+Lex Some people can't go vegan because of health reasons. I'm one of those people. So don't go suggesting people should do something that can be damaging to their health without doing your own research. And even if she wasn't, let people make their own lifestyle choices.
+Eva What do you mean "learn the truth"? You have to kill the chicken before you eat it? Yeah, everybody knows that...
This was honestly the best "What I eat in a day" video I have seen on TH-cam yet, very helpful and realistic. Thank you!
Everything looks super yummy! but one thing i dont get is this obsession people have with gluten right now.. unless you are celiac there is no reason for not eating it.. its just a protein...
I believe she did say she does have some kind of reaction with gluten. It was in a different vid.
+vivibuff I was wondering the same thing. It seems like people think it's bad or fattening or something.
Yum desert looks great. All meals are deliziosa! Grazie
Reading through the top comments has made me feel so angry! If you are going to write something mean, write it in a constructive way. I really like these types of videos Amelia and would be so happy to see many more in the future. What you eat is down to you and your body, so don't listen to what others have to say unless it's constructive criticism! You are honestly so so super amazing, so keep on doing what you do! Xxxx
I know, right...annoys me the amount of vegans telling others to stop eating meat and blah blah blah...why people have the need to tell others what to do??
+Mrs15swain05 because non-vegans are killing the planet that we ALL have to live on. Vegans are actually looking out for you by suggesting you go vegan, but you're so selfish you get mad about it instead.
Amanda R See...another one...accusing like 90% of population selfish. Actually I might be selfish but you are rude and judgmental...and argument about meat eaters killing planet is so stupid, honestly...get something new, you just repeat the same old story that's not even true 🙈
+Mrs15swain05 I agree that some vegans' messages come across as rude and judgemental so I understand what you mean but the good message kind of gets lost in translation. Animal agriculture is the single most damaging act to the earth currently (particularly impacting global warming extensively). It overtakes CO2 production from all transport mediums on earth. Obviously it's not realistic to expect everyone to turn vegan overnight - not at all. It's just about being aware and perhaps cutting down meat and dairy consumption. Without me educating myself on the matter, I wouldn't have known the impact that animal agriculture has so I absolutely do not judge meat eaters at all. I do, however, make a judgement on those who are not open to listening to the facts and puts their tastebuds solely in more importance than the planet that future generations are going to be living on. I can understand your angst and I hope you don't see this as rude - not my intention at all. X
+Abi Guy Understood but I don't support supermarket chains, I source my meat and dairy products from local farm where animals aren't mass produced. I pay for my eggs triple the price that's in the supermarkets but I don't mind that. I don't agree with mass production and I know they are very cruel to animals but I am really not against local farms. Farm locally to me has chickens running on the field in the summer and inside heated barn in the winter...they really are "happy chickens"... And the fact I eat meat shouldn't bother others ;) At least I don't shop at Tesco's - they get their meat from God-knows-where but definitely some weird disgusting place...
I wish my food was always this well presented! x
a normal working person doesn't have time to prepare such perfect meals
Yes we can. I cook a lot of meals on Sunday for work throughout the week. You just have to make the time & effort. All of the meals she made don't even take that long to prepare.
Please keep doing this theme! You r my favorite youtuber! Xoxo
Everything looks delicious (apart from the chicken)! I suggest you to replace your chicken with tofu or lentils, beans...etc. Black beans with quinoa is really good, you should try it ^^. I love your look as well. You look so pretty as always.
I eat gloopy oatmeal (porridge) everyday for breakfast. I cook mine with sugar free applesauce and water. It's so delicious!
Yay for gloopy oatmeal! 🤗
Your figure in the thumbnail is amazing! Loved this! xxx
+BKmate That is exactly what I was thinking! x
Omg I've been loooving the quality of your videos lately, keep going! xx
"keep my tummy in an alkaline state"
I had to go to google to freaking understand why an acid - like lemon juice- is considered alkaline....
Aaaaaaand I'm just gonna leave this here:
"Due to the lack of credible evidence supporting any benefits of this diet (alkaline), it is generally not recommended by dietitians and other health professionals."
+eraclis7 did you get an answer? Because I don't get it either haha
I have a healthy eating cook book based around an alkaline diet (I'm still not to sure what the benefits are I just wanted healthy pizza and other recipes) but the alkalinity is to do with how things are digested in your stomach! Basically them lemon changes from acidic to alkaline/neutral (not sure exactly what happens) when it's digested so it's not about what the food is before you eat it but how it reacts and changes in your body before being absorbed into your blood 😄
thank you! That's quite interesting :)
Keeping your body alkaline is definetly important ! a body who is too acid is the perfect environment to grow cancer and so many other diseases ! But I guess doctors won't tell you that ...
Well I'm a doctor... and I never heard of it... so...
I have lumpy porridge too, defo need to try the lunch looks very yummy x
Why do you avoid gluten if you don't have a medical need to? Because gluten are completely natural...
+The Blonde Broccoli because it is oh so cool and trendy and makes for better instagram hashtags
zaramalik947 Very true hahaha
I think this was one of my fave what I eat in a day videos ever! Everything looked so good to me! I definitely want to make that salad wow
Lonely and having dinner alone tonight, even though someone is filming 😆
Very creative what you did with the cashew nut! I am going to try your lunch time salad!!!
What's with all these comments people?! Sad that you see people's flaws but not their greatness. Not being a vegan is not even a flaw. Smh narrow minded people.
+shannonigans86 wow guys, no this isn't true at all. We all have to share this planet together and when people eat animals it contributes to the destruction of this planet. I'm sorry but I would really love it if people would stop using their selfish reasons (taste buds) to keep destroying the planet I have to share with them. I don't care if you want to get cancer or heart disease, and I understand not everyone loves animals and doesn't mind if they're raped, tortured and die a slow, painful death. But I DO care that you are destroying my home and my offspring's chance at a life without an apocalypse just because you can't give up 1 or 2 food items. Vegans are the ones thinking of others, so yeah I think that does make them morally superior.
+Amanda R this was all kinds of lols.
+Nicole Evangelista iF If anything, vegans are the most open minded people on earth. They educated themselves to become more aware of what they are eating. They're eating the most sustainable diet on earth. So how is that narrow minded? You should educate yourself on the importance of veganism before you claim that they're narrow minded people. Sure, not being vegan is not a flaw but your eating habits are slaughtering millions of animals across the world leading to deforestation. Is that narrow minded if they're care about the environment?
LOVED this video. I really like your idea of having technology-free meals--I should really try to do that too.
I wish I worked from home. I honestly think I'd be so much more healthy during the day. I get half an hour for lunch and have the facilities of a crappy staff room so it's a bit awkward. I loved all of this food apart from the chicken, it looked healthy but tasty.
im genuinely confused why gluten free is such a big thing now? i thought gluten was only bad for you if you're diagnosed with celiac disease/gluten intolerance?
Yes you're right. I watched a BBC program on it and that's exactly what he said. Only a small amount of people gluten sensitivity. I'm going through the tests now as my brother has celiac and I haven't been well. Dr said sometimes it can run in the family 😫 praying it doesn't because to actually be gluten sensitive is a real pain. To be fair though all the food she made looked totally tasty!! X
+Aisha Colindres Because its the trendy food villain du jour. Once upon a time it was any and all fat, eggs, etc. Less about nutrition and more about hysteria about nutrition, yes?
+Aisha Colindres You are right, It's just a trend right now... As a biology and health education student I've read quite a few articles/studies , which actually say, that you shouldn' t be skipping gluten, unsless you have some kind of intolerance or celiac disease.
+Aisha Colanders gluten is generally not a healthy thing..human bodies weren't meant to eat wheat or other grains containing gluten for a long time but then we discovered it and over time ate more and more. now because we tend to grow our food with loads of chemicals and toxic fertilizer the gluten we eat today has changed from the gluten that we ate decades of years ago when it was still relatively ok to digest. it's now become quite resistant to many of our stomach acids and carries a bunch of those chemicals that it then transports into our system - which is why generally, gluten are not the best thing for us whether we are allergic or not. this is a common problem with many things though, since everything that's not organic brings nasty chemicals and toxins into our body.
+Aisha Colindres I know! Gluten is just a protein, it does nothing bad to you unless you're intolerant.
Oh the spoon i love it sooo cute. Greetings from austria vienna. Love your fooddairy
Oh no :( I'm scared freelee is going to jump on this video pretty soon =_=
My exact thought, she'll go crazy about the chicken!
Yeah she will. She's one of the most deluded people on TH-cam. 😂
+Georgia C I was watching and was thinking oh "ok Amelia is going good no animal products yet..." And then she was pan frying some chicken and I was thinking "oh no :("
Yeah I thought oh she'll be happy with the first few meals and snacks but then attack her for the chicken!! I hope she doesn't though, I really love Amelia's videos and this has been one I've been waiting for her to do
+Georgia C yeah same and it was filmed so nicely >_
Having an Amelia day, I've been watching you're videos since morning. ❤️
+Rabia bibi Awww! Hope you're enjoying yourself! Thank you for watching!
I would be so hungry if I ate this in a day. Good on you for eating healthy.
More of cooking/eating/baking videos, Amelia! Love love love watching them!! Hope your channel will grow in no time ;) Love from Hong Kong
lemons keep my tummy in an alkaline state?!
Yes
+Bianca Papp lemon is mostly citric acid
+chubbu28 lemon juice itself is "acidic" but once consumed and is metabolized it turns to an alkaline state
Actually, there's no scientific study proving that lemon juice is good for your stomach, your skin or whatsoever. However, your doctor can advise you take a lemon or orange juice everyday if you do suffer from kidney stones. This is the only benefit of lemon juice.
+Marie that's to acidify urine. stonesare made usually of calcium salts etc n will dissolve in acidic environment
I loved your dressing! I actually bought tahini recently and didn't know what to do with it. Now I'll be making this salad and dressing 😍. I would love to see more videos like this. Plus I love listening to you talk. I have family in England.
Try drinking the lemon juice in lukewarm water, apparently too hot water kills the vitamins! 😘
Everything you made looked sooo tasty!
