That meal her fiance brought her looked amazing and healthy. He put so much time and effort into it. If she ate like that on the daily she would feel a lot better in a short time.
Abbey you and my Therapist have helped me recover from my bulimia just wanted to say thank you ❤ please keep doing what you are doing you are helping so many people.
I feel like every single one of Jaclyn’s videos say the exact same thing with the same attitude. Judgement for how she “use to” act. I drastic plan for how she’s going to move forward. (Filled with plans for dieting and working out just to look “tone”) With a plan to have a cheat day. This feels like it’s been months and months of the same exact video with different words. I truly hope she finds something that works for her bc this seems like it is exhausting for her mentally AND physically
I hate the idea of cheat days. If you want the brownie, eat the brownie. Accommodate it within a diet rich in fats, protein and veggies. Depriving yourself for 6 days so you can be a glutton on day 7 was so frustrating and I would overeat junk so much that I would undo any health gains. I would throw my glucose out of wildly out of whack one day per week. I then couldn’t sleep yet felt lethargic.
I don’t know why people demonize snacking! I remember my mother used to comment on my snacking habits when I was going through puberty and it made me feel so ashamed. I was having snacks because I was so hungry from growing so much. Now, as a woman in my mid-20s, I can’t function without having some sort of breakfast, a moderate lunch, a snack after work/school, and a late-ish dinner. I genuinely feel so bad (cranky and sometimes shaky) if I don’t have a snack around 4 or 5 pm. I feel sad for people who don’t allow themselves food when their body is hungry 😢 all things in moderation, but I’m big on intuitive eating
my mom always commented on my snacking too even if I just ate an apple. She said Im ruining my insulin levels by it because it makes my sugar spike. That made me eat in secret which led to me gaining wait. I never understood how parents could comment stuff like that on young kids.
Please never stop doing these; it makes me feel like I get to talk about all the issues in her videos with a friend, but I will not admit to any of my friends that I watch her videos!
Jaclyn really goes through what a lot of people go through, but publicly. While this isn't necessarily good for her, I feel this can be a learning moment for all people watching & struggling themselves (even more so with people like Abbey giving a healthy perspective on the whole thing) 👍🏼
The problem with set point theory is that nobody knows what to do when your set point recalibrates to a new higher setting. For example, I was 145 -148 until I went off my PCOS medication for nearly a year. I went back on it after reaching 158-160, but two years later it refuses to go back to my old range. I lose weight but the slightest thing (eating a restaurant meal or taking antibiotics) causes me to shoot back up. Jaclyn used to have a set point of 130-140 and hers changed due to a combination of divorce trauma, alcohol, and stress eating. Like me, her set point appears to have moved up.
I wish Abby would talk a little bit about how to handle when your body has decided its set point should be at a weight that isnt healthy (weather that weight is too high or too low)
@@katelyndombach4726 i dont think your body will stay at the set point weight range at an "unhealthy" weight for you because like said in the video, if you ask yourself a series of those questions and if you said yes to all of them, then your body is most likely in that set point.
Yes, also age is a factor. My first change was after I turned 30, then when I turned 49. I guess menopause will be the next one. Don’t get me wrong, you can still do things to look and feel your best but I know I will never be at a weight I was in my early twenties.
Natural Set Point Weight was so helpful for me. I lost a ton of weight after finally getting on some very necessary medication for some endocrine disorders. And now for about 3-4 months I have been exactly the same weight (within like a 2-3 pound range) while eating a diet that feels good and moving my body a reasonable amount! I'm so thankful for Abbey's videos explaining the whole idea of set point theory and that my body would naturally settle into a place it was happy if I just took good care of it!
I have a lot of endocrine disorders and gained 10 lbs when I went off my meds. Back on them, but the 10 lbs won't go away. Can I ask what medications you are on?
I love how you educate not only on food nutrition but also on having a healthy mindset. I feel like the majority of people trying to loose wait see it as a race & not a journey. It has to be sustainable AND enjoyable- not something you dread or can’t maintain. I definitely think Jaclyn is in the race category but you helped explain a lot for her!
I hope Jaclyn watches your series on her journey. It would be hard for her to hear, but at least she would get an honest and kindly worded perspective on what she's doing to herself.
As a bridal seamstress, I can already call that she’s going to either need last minute alterations or for them to be done several times 😆. You want to maintain weight for about 3 months before the big day so alterations can be done at a reasonable time.
@@mirensummers7633 I have been wondering that, too. With her money, why not hire a dietitian and personal trainer? She has a therapist, a stylist and tanner that she flies to her home, multiple housecleaners, and dog walkers, as far as I remember.
Her mindset just sucks when it comes to weight loss, food, and habits... I just can’t watch her journey. So glad I have your videos to recap everything.💯🙄😒❤️
Every video is the same, "I used to be unhealthy but now i am going to be healthy by giving myself 200 food rules, because mind is more important than body" .....girl what
Got to feel sorry for the poor girl, she's so hard on herself, and all over the place, with living her best life, then hating how that feels. And being strict again.
I can relate so much to her journey. I’ve been there and failed so many times. My weight loss only happened and stuck when I stopped putting time lines and strict rules on myself. Plus I ate lots of carbs daily lol.
I fully support anyone's journey but I also feel like no one has it right and that is just as much part of the journey as anything else. I almost wish she wouldn't document it so much because she is (like all of us trying to better ourselves) contradictory in approach and is opening herself up to comments that might trigger and impede her progress. That's just how it is when figuring out what works. She doesn't have to eat clean and all that. She doesn't have to prove that to the world. And yet at the same time I admire her vulnerability and transparency and wish her the best. I'm on a similar journey and just had tortilla chips and gummi candy because I'm tired af!
I see so much of my old self in Jaclyn. She’s literally regurgitating the same diet talk and reasoning that I used to tell myself. I hope she finds peace and something that works for her.
I had a binge-restrict cycle for a very long time until I finally focused on eating more but better during mealtimes. I also cut out drinking entirely except for the rare single drink on special occasions.
As someone who has lost lots of weight & then gained some back and back and fourth, I'm finally learning about a sustainable and enjoyable relationship with food. I find for myself using the day 1 mentality is just not a great idea as it usually unfortunately includes some form of restriction Moderation & enjoyment of food going forward for me ❤️❤️
Totally respect Jacyln's efforts to improve her health. But when she says she wants to "look her best" I die a little inside because she looks incredible as is in this video. Like, stunning just as is! Hope she is able to make some peace with nutrition [I know it's not easy]. Great video!
I used to think drinking alcohol helped me with my anxiety and panic attacks. I stopped drinking for 3 months. Suddenly my anxiety disorder went away. Its been a little over a year now. It also helped me lose 60 pounds, by not craving fried foods. Anyways I hope she can navigate this journey the right way. Im rooting for her! 🥰
Reducing alcohol has been wonderful for me as well. I still have a drink occasionally on the weekend but I used to drink almost daily (1 or 2 drinks so not hugely excessively but still too much!) and not doing that anymore has improved my sleep and general well being so much. I've stopped wanting it as much as well, it feels great.
So she wants to lose the weight before her wedding... What about after? She will gain it all back in a heartbeat. Her whole mindset is very toxic. Thank you for this video! x
I don’t think there’s necessarily anything wrong with choosing a life milestone as a goal when losing weight. It’s almost natural to want to look good on your big day
I feel like these concepts are easier when you’ve already successfully been utilizing them. I’m here to say that I agree with you. Since I’ve stopped dieting and started eating intuitively not because it’s time or because I feel like it. Also, cutting down my portions and telling myself I’m allowed to eat as much as I want but let’s just eat the small amount and wait 30 minutes. I realize that I now I’m satisfied with a lot less food and I feel better because now I’m not having upset stomach or over eating, I think what brings this all home for me is I’m actively seeing the scale go down consistently while feeling good and eating what I want.
Our brains need carbs to function at their best 🧠💖 I'm looking forward to when she commits to getting some assistance from a dietician and PT. Friends are great for support and life advice but when it comes to healthcare, please speak to a professional as well! ✨
I've struggled with disordered eating for SO LONG. It was a binge/restrict Rollercoaster for literally my entire life. Recently I've gotten sick to the point where eating isn't fun because I just get sick after and something about that made my brain click that food isn't an enemy, it's a friend and it's just trying to help. I've been my same post pregnancy weight for almost 3 years until this, and only once I stopped banning myself from certain food groups or times during the day I could/couldn't eat did I drop any weight. I'm still sick, I'm still struggling, but my brain is finally making friends with my body and I think I'm finally okay with the body I'm in, even if it doesn't look exactly how I wish it would! So it turns out, the diets really are the problem!
Hi! I just wanted to ask you what your perspective is on diets catered to people with diabetes. It can really make it difficult to enjoy anything because I have to think about the sugar/carbs in everything I eat to take insulin properly. How do I maintain a good relationship with food and not resent my body 😖.
Hi Abbey, I wanted to thank you for the consistently helpful videos you continue to make. I used to watch your content when I was unhealthily numbers focused and counting every. single. calorie. It got so bad that I ended up losing muscle because I was so determined to keep a particular number on the scale, and since I lift weights, that was a problem! I always thought your advice sounded counterintuitive--adding IN food instead of restricting? However, I'm really excited to report that I haven't counted calories at all this entire year, and I even buy cereal and pop tarts sometimes! Your HCC ideas for trigger foods has been incredibly helpful--more than you know. Anyway, I realized today that I'm actually eating intuitively and am super happy with my progress and my body, and that is in huge part thanks to your content. I don't know if you'll see this, but I wanted to tell you thank you. ❤ one last thing: would love to see your suggestions for a HCC involving homemade cookies! I am pretty much incapable of avoiding warm chocolate chip cookies and I need a way to bake and enjoy them without eating half a batch in one sitting. 😂
I really wish Jaclyn would work on connecting with her body rather than viewing it as an enemy. There’s nothing bad about being 171 pounds. It’s clear she doesn’t like dieting. The fear of carbs is hard to avoid if you’re tuned into diet culture. I did a shred and realized that not only was I not eating enough food but my body also likes having healthy carbs. Shocking 😂 except it really did shock me to learn I’d lose weight and feel better if I let myself have some rice and some whole wheat toast.
I weigh myself every day because I don’t find it triggering and I like data. I know an individual day doesn’t really matter and I pay attention to trends. But this girl should not do that. I think it’s very likely she should never ever weigh herself. She might actually have confidence in her own actions without it and forgive herself for an occasional small indulgence and then wouldn’t binge in response anymore.
I'm really curious about hunger cues and anxiety research. For the past few years I had noticed my hunger and satiation cues had all but vanished. Lab draws all pointed to normal vit and hormone levels tho. It wasn't until I got seen for antianxiety/antidepressant meds that those mechanisms came back.
The camera seems like a mirror to her where she’s trying to convince herself she’s not dieting, that she’s being healthy and just wants to feel better but really it’s obvious it’s a fantasy she playing out for her viewers. She only wants that number on the scale to go down so very very much.
Sometimes we have to have discipline. There is nothing wrong with that. We are now living in a society that is overindulging and everything, which is why Americans are so obese. I've lost over 150 lb 20 years ago and kept it off. It's possible but I wouldn't have been able to do that unless I modified what I ate and set some rules for myself
yes food nowadays is so calorie dense yet our lifestyles are sedentary. So some level of restriction is necessary. I can easily eat over 3k of calories just from junk food! It is important to label food as good or bad imo. Doesnt mean you cant have bad food, just less of it.
Sometimes I wonder for those who do eat healthy and exercise but can’t seem to lose the weight….I wonder if it’s something more emotional and social they could try focusing on? I have some friends who have really tried and it seems like nothing works, yet their life does seem to have unresolved emotional issues and chronic stress. I’ve wondered if an underlying factor could be their emotional well-being and environmental aspects that in a way prevents their body from functioning well.
for me I know I gained about 30 pounds when I first transferred to a university even though I had my own apartment and made my own healthy/ nourishing meals. Looking back my sleep schedule was so haphazard based on exam schedules and being away from my loved ones was so hard. When I moved back into town and was back with my family, I lost most of that weight even though my eating habits remained the same. Im in grad school now and I learned to manage the stress. My weight has not budged after going down.
i would love to see you review Cody Ko! he has a new channel called cody trains and it’s primarily about how he is training for an upcoming marathon. he posts a lot of his meals too and even asked for some advice in his last video (his channel is not about model trains iykyk😉)
Do you have a video on lowering your cholesterol and losing weight at the same time? Some “experts” suggest cutting out all or almost all healthy oils, plus eating very little meat. I understand that processed foods are bad but I don’t think eating just a plant based diet would be enjoyable.
I had success by upping veggies, eating the healthy fats (olive oil and avocados). I focused my protein on fish, chicken, red meat once per week, lower fat yogurt or cottage cheese and only one serving of full fat cheese per day. I do eat an egg for breakfast every day. This worked for me but everyone is different.
Another thing you need to consider is your high cholesterol due to hereditary genes or food. Hereditary is harder to reduce since it is inherent in your genetic makeup.
From what I heard or seen is just having way too much sugar and not moving about enough, but that's if you're not having a genetic reason for it. So lessen the simple carbs and go for more complex cars. Not to say that you could never have them, but maybe switch your bread to more solid or a different bread or eat less bread? That's just an example. Doesn't mean to stop eating bread altogether just lessen it and then check yourself after a month or 2 and see if it works and if it's helpful. More than anything make sure your stress levels are low you're sleeping well and not to do anything too drastic all-in-one go
do you keep up with jaclyn on social media? i follow her on instagram and i feel like her stories show a lot more of her actual thoughts on her journey day to day rather than these videos that get filmed and uploaded weeks/months later. for example she will say all of this, but then go online and talk about "jokingly" doing squats right after a big meal to feel better. it makes no sense to me. i think she has lost weight since posting this but i definitely think it would be really beneficial if she invested in a dietician asap to heal her relationship with food and get away from diet culture.
Ooo I love snacks. I hate that they get such a bad press. I eat 5 meals a day anyway but if I wannit, I eatit. I know that doesn’t work for everyone but I do a lot of sport and that’s what works for me. Planning dinner as I write. So many options. Hmmmm.. yum yum. Btw this lovely girl must be burning a fair amount of calories just from the speed she speaks. Very energetic! Love the shot of her boyfriend eating happily behind her while she’s talking. Haha.
Jac is super hypocritcal and the people she surrounds herself with amp those behaviours up. By his actions, Jordan wants her to stop obsessing, but still habituates her attitude and skewed vision. It's too bad. I hope she gets professional help like a lot of her follows recommended from the very first vlog!
@@BPJonida I meant it more in what she says vs what she does, similar to what Abbey pointed out. Sorry if it came off the wrong way. She deserves to get through this and be happy with herself and proud of what she has gone through
Have you ever thought about reaching out to Jaclyn for a collaboration? You could work together to deconstruct her diet mentality and make progress towards her having a more healthy relationship with food. This could be a unique opportunity for you to reach some of her followers, too.
However I do feel like most foods are restrictive if you only really like to heavy carbs foods. I'm not saying she does this, however, if pizza , pasta , french fries and burgers were not so fully packed of calories it's all I would be eating 60% of the time. It doesn't mean I don't like the other foods it just means I really like heavy carb foods.😄 For example I don't have a weight issue and I don't really gain weight but I still don't eat all of those just because I know it isn't healthy.
Oh yes I can confirm that my anxiety heavily influences my eating habits 😅 ever since I went into teaching training (which is really stressful”) I eat a lot more. I suspect to soothe myself.
She wants instant gratification. 6-8 weeks ? Then give up and try something else?? I don’t think she understands how this works and this is why she constantly struggles . It’s all about healthy lifestyle changes, consistency and patience
I love her so much and always have but some parts of the videos are hard for me to watch and trigger me a bit. She’s on her journey with a relationship with food and I hope she is able to improve that over time. I’m sure everyone is different, but she has so much restriction and rules and it doesn’t at all seem like something long term. Idk, my heart hurts for her 🥹😭♥️
hey !!! abbey i am 16 am and i am suffering from binge eating disorder it has come to a point where i am losing hope that i will never be able to transform for health i know the science behind every food(all i have learnt from you) but still i am not able to recover
As someone who used to struggle badly w/ food... I wish I could shake some women and yell "whatever you are doing to change your body needs to be something you can do almost daily for the rest of you life to maintain it, otherwise you are LITERALLY just destroying both your metabolism (its harder and harder to loose weight that youve lost and then gained back) and your nervous system (restricting and binging is horrible our nervous system)" it doesn't have to be this painful. Sad to see
She literally gaslights her damn self. She’s a millionaire at this point if not billionaire, she has ZERO excuse not to have hired professionals by now. I’m broke and even I have a trainer/nutritionist.
Throw out the scale and pull out the measuring tape. Visceral fat loss is a much better indicator of how well your lifestyle is working for you and a better indicator of future health outcomes than numbers on a scale. I no longer weigh myself. I pay attention to how I feel, what my labs say (I'm diabetic) and what size pants I've got on.
There’s a weight loss service in Australia called Juniper that prescribes Saxenda. They claim that Saxenda can change your set point weight. Is this possible?
I wonder how her too be husband can stand all the diet talk . It really is all about the calories and carbs are just another food group to balance off your meal !
woah. i struggle with depression and anxiety, which i assume probably messes with my cortisol. i carry all my weight in my stomach, and can’t seem to shed it. i always wondered why I’m skinny everywhere but my stomach, wonder if it’s related
I’m the same girl I gain weight on my tummy and have suffered from both and have pcos. I would say eat what you want but with protein such as chicken meat etc and drink water. Trust me you will get full and not binge eat(I used to binge) protein is the key, if you want a noodles cool but add veggies or proteins add protein instead of skipping it, it will help you not crave and you should loose weight on your tummy
Does anyone know any additional information about the type of therapy jacyln goes to? It looks like she just sits there with a helmet on and doesn’t talk through anything. I don’t know anything about it, but that’s how it appears whenever she talks about it in her videos. From my perspective, I just don’t know how it could be helpful to someone. Anyone know?
I have to say, I think she may be the most triggering person you've had on your channel. She has a lot of anxiety in her voice, like a LOT. She is so immersed in diet culture that she doesn't understand how triggering she actually is. It makes me feel sorry she has to live in her own head because if those are the thoughts that she verbally expresses for her channel, I can't imagine what is happening in there the rest of the time. I think most of us are affected by diet culture, especially having grown up in the 90's/00's, but this is a lot. I hope she finds clarity and peace some day and finds kindness for herself.
If I were her friend I would tell her to just go ahead and get the nutritionist and hire the trainer!!!!! Stop trying to do it alone. I don’t know why she feels like she has to do this by herself. Just hire the professionals. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.
Also as someone who is actively trying to lose weight, I always see these videos and always think that the amount of food that these people are eating are way too small?
I really wish Jaclyn would see a therapist who specializes in intuitive eating. Jaclyn needs a good, solid, break/reset with some time devoted to learning to eat again.
If only she could overcome her internal fatphobia and RELAX. She's a beautiful woman no matter what weight. The relaxation about my own weight was the key to lower it in the long run and finally enjoy working out and enjoying food.
I feel for Jaclyn. I’m more or less going through the same thing. It’s so hard 😣 I’m not actively trying to lose weight anymore. I can’t stay on it long enough. It’s a cycle though of trying to eat better to lose weight but then I end up bingeing and feeling guilty about it. It never ends!
Hi, I totally get u. I was mentally struggling with this all year until I started working with a dietician. Together we r trying to figure out the best way for me To sustain weight loss in the healthiest way. Before I couldn’t not diet past two weeks because I would be miserable. Here are a few tips from me to u: 1. Get movement in everyday, u don’t need to be running five miles, I incorporate 20 Min walks for my mental Health. 1. Cook ur fav takeout meals At home, they will be reduced in all that sodium and fat. 3. Figure what healthy foods u like, if u hate broccoli don’t eat it lol. 4. Incorporate veggies and fruits with some unhealthier Snacks u might enjoy. I like to put hot Cheetos on my salad instead of croutons. And lastly take It slow . These tips r to ease u into healthy living and u will get better at it, good luck❤
I think jacklyn looks beautiful just the way she is. She’s putting too much pressure on herself on loosing weight. She can eat pizza and have a drink sometimes. Just look for the portions and the other food you eat with it. She’s also confusion “inflammation” with “non-muscle” weight gain.

I almost wish she wouldn't document it so much because she is (like all of us trying to better ourselves) contradictory in approach and is opening herself up to comments that might trigger and impede her progress. That's just how it is when figuring out what works. She doesn't have to eat clean and all that. She doesn't have to prove that to the world. And yet at the same time I admire her vulnerability and transparency and wish her the best. I'm on a similar journey and just had tortilla chips and gummi candy because I'm tired af!
Totally agree
I see so much of my old self in Jaclyn. She’s literally regurgitating the same diet talk and reasoning that I used to tell myself. I hope she finds peace and something that works for her.
I had a binge-restrict cycle for a very long time until I finally focused on eating more but better during mealtimes. I also cut out drinking entirely except for the rare single drink on special occasions.
i think cutting out alcohol helps tremendously! in more ways than one :) i feel so much better!
I'm a big fan of not owning a scale. I highly recommend it! It's very freeing
As someone who has lost lots of weight & then gained some back and back and fourth, I'm finally learning about a sustainable and enjoyable relationship with food.
I find for myself using the day 1 mentality is just not a great idea as it usually unfortunately includes some form of restriction
Moderation & enjoyment of food going forward for me ❤️❤️
Totally respect Jacyln's efforts to improve her health. But when she says she wants to "look her best" I die a little inside because she looks incredible as is in this video. Like, stunning just as is! Hope she is able to make some peace with nutrition [I know it's not easy]. Great video!
Some people are just not ready to listen to those telling them that what they’re doing is making the problem worse
This video was very powerful and healing. Thank you.
I used to think drinking alcohol helped me with my anxiety and panic attacks. I stopped drinking for 3 months. Suddenly my anxiety disorder went away. Its been a little over a year now. It also helped me lose 60 pounds, by not craving fried foods.
Anyways I hope she can navigate this journey the right way. Im rooting for her! 🥰
👏👏👏 that’s amazing
Reducing alcohol has been wonderful for me as well. I still have a drink occasionally on the weekend but I used to drink almost daily (1 or 2 drinks so not hugely excessively but still too much!) and not doing that anymore has improved my sleep and general well being so much. I've stopped wanting it as much as well, it feels great.
Ok, the Electric Callboy Pump It crossover was literally everything.
Losing 10 pounds is a great achievement. She should be very proud.
The Electric Callboy reference caught me so off guard 😭😭
Same! I literally text my partner about it cause we both love them and it was so unexpected to me 🤣🤣
So she wants to lose the weight before her wedding... What about after? She will gain it all back in a heartbeat. Her whole mindset is very toxic. Thank you for this video! x
I don’t think there’s necessarily anything wrong with choosing a life milestone as a goal when losing weight. It’s almost natural to want to look good on your big day
I feel like these concepts are easier when you’ve already successfully been utilizing them. I’m here to say that I agree with you. Since I’ve stopped dieting and started eating intuitively not because it’s time or because I feel like it. Also, cutting down my portions and telling myself I’m allowed to eat as much as I want but let’s just eat the small amount and wait 30 minutes. I realize that I now I’m satisfied with a lot less food and I feel better because now I’m not having upset stomach or over eating, I think what brings this all home for me is I’m actively seeing the scale go down consistently while feeling good and eating what I want.
Our brains need carbs to function at their best 🧠💖 I'm looking forward to when she commits to getting some assistance from a dietician and PT. Friends are great for support and life advice but when it comes to healthcare, please speak to a professional as well! ✨
You really just should pencil her into your filming schedule every 3 months at this point. 🤣❤️
Or more frequently…. 😬
I've struggled with disordered eating for SO LONG. It was a binge/restrict Rollercoaster for literally my entire life. Recently I've gotten sick to the point where eating isn't fun because I just get sick after and something about that made my brain click that food isn't an enemy, it's a friend and it's just trying to help. I've been my same post pregnancy weight for almost 3 years until this, and only once I stopped banning myself from certain food groups or times during the day I could/couldn't eat did I drop any weight. I'm still sick, I'm still struggling, but my brain is finally making friends with my body and I think I'm finally okay with the body I'm in, even if it doesn't look exactly how I wish it would!
So it turns out, the diets really are the problem!
Hi! I just wanted to ask you what your perspective is on diets catered to people with diabetes. It can really make it difficult to enjoy anything because I have to think about the sugar/carbs in everything I eat to take insulin properly. How do I maintain a good relationship with food and not resent my body 😖.
Yesss!! I have been waiting for Abbey to do a video on diabetes
Abbey you should do a series where you work with these influencers and celebrities etc and share it with your viewers.
Hi Abbey,
I wanted to thank you for the consistently helpful videos you continue to make. I used to watch your content when I was unhealthily numbers focused and counting every. single. calorie. It got so bad that I ended up losing muscle because I was so determined to keep a particular number on the scale, and since I lift weights, that was a problem! I always thought your advice sounded counterintuitive--adding IN food instead of restricting? However, I'm really excited to report that I haven't counted calories at all this entire year, and I even buy cereal and pop tarts sometimes! Your HCC ideas for trigger foods has been incredibly helpful--more than you know. Anyway, I realized today that I'm actually eating intuitively and am super happy with my progress and my body, and that is in huge part thanks to your content. I don't know if you'll see this, but I wanted to tell you thank you. ❤ one last thing: would love to see your suggestions for a HCC involving homemade cookies! I am pretty much incapable of avoiding warm chocolate chip cookies and I need a way to bake and enjoy them without eating half a batch in one sitting. 😂
I really wish Jaclyn would work on connecting with her body rather than viewing it as an enemy. There’s nothing bad about being 171 pounds. It’s clear she doesn’t like dieting. The fear of carbs is hard to avoid if you’re tuned into diet culture. I did a shred and realized that not only was I not eating enough food but my body also likes having healthy carbs. Shocking 😂 except it really did shock me to learn I’d lose weight and feel better if I let myself have some rice and some whole wheat toast.
I weigh myself every day because I don’t find it triggering and I like data. I know an individual day doesn’t really matter and I pay attention to trends.
But this girl should not do that. I think it’s very likely she should never ever weigh herself. She might actually have confidence in her own actions without it and forgive herself for an occasional small indulgence and then wouldn’t binge in response anymore.
Love hearing about the set point range…which is definitely a thing!
I'm really curious about hunger cues and anxiety research. For the past few years I had noticed my hunger and satiation cues had all but vanished. Lab draws all pointed to normal vit and hormone levels tho. It wasn't until I got seen for antianxiety/antidepressant meds that those mechanisms came back.
It would be great to see more research there, but glad you're doing better!
Pleaseeeeeee Abbyyyyy team up with Jaclyn! You’d be the perfect nutrition coach for her! 😭
The camera seems like a mirror to her where she’s trying to convince herself she’s not dieting, that she’s being healthy and just wants to feel better but really it’s obvious it’s a fantasy she playing out for her viewers. She only wants that number on the scale to go down so very very much.
she literally contradict herself within 10 seconds
Sometimes we have to have discipline. There is nothing wrong with that. We are now living in a society that is overindulging and everything, which is why Americans are so obese. I've lost over 150 lb 20 years ago and kept it off. It's possible but I wouldn't have been able to do that unless I modified what I ate and set some rules for myself
yes food nowadays is so calorie dense yet our lifestyles are sedentary. So some level of restriction is necessary. I can easily eat over 3k of calories just from junk food! It is important to label food as good or bad imo. Doesnt mean you cant have bad food, just less of it.
Sometimes I wonder for those who do eat healthy and exercise but can’t seem to lose the weight….I wonder if it’s something more emotional and social they could try focusing on? I have some friends who have really tried and it seems like nothing works, yet their life does seem to have unresolved emotional issues and chronic stress. I’ve wondered if an underlying factor could be their emotional well-being and environmental aspects that in a way prevents their body from functioning well.
for me I know I gained about 30 pounds when I first transferred to a university even though I had my own apartment and made my own healthy/ nourishing meals. Looking back my sleep schedule was so haphazard based on exam schedules and being away from my loved ones was so hard. When I moved back into town and was back with my family, I lost most of that weight even though my eating habits remained the same. Im in grad school now and I learned to manage the stress. My weight has not budged after going down.
i would love to see you review Cody Ko! he has a new channel called cody trains and it’s primarily about how he is training for an upcoming marathon. he posts a lot of his meals too and even asked for some advice in his last video (his channel is not about model trains iykyk😉)
Okay before I even watch , I have to ask WHERE’S YOUR SWEATER FROM?!?
Right?? Immediately I said out loud “oh I love her sweater” lol
This women is on a new "journey" every two months. I don't know how she doesn't realize whatever she is doing is not working
Do you have a video on lowering your cholesterol and losing weight at the same time? Some “experts” suggest cutting out all or almost all healthy oils, plus eating very little meat. I understand that processed foods are bad but I don’t think eating just a plant based diet would be enjoyable.
I had success by upping veggies, eating the healthy fats (olive oil and avocados). I focused my protein on fish, chicken, red meat once per week, lower fat yogurt or cottage cheese and only one serving of full fat cheese per day. I do eat an egg for breakfast every day. This worked for me but everyone is different.
Another thing you need to consider is your high cholesterol due to hereditary genes or food. Hereditary is harder to reduce since it is inherent in your genetic makeup.
@@shelahphillipsen7019 I’m sure it’s probably hereditary too.
From what I heard or seen is just having way too much sugar and not moving about enough, but that's if you're not having a genetic reason for it. So lessen the simple carbs and go for more complex cars. Not to say that you could never have them, but maybe switch your bread to more solid or a different bread or eat less bread? That's just an example. Doesn't mean to stop eating bread altogether just lessen it and then check yourself after a month or 2 and see if it works and if it's helpful. More than anything make sure your stress levels are low you're sleeping well and not to do anything too drastic all-in-one go
do you keep up with jaclyn on social media? i follow her on instagram and i feel like her stories show a lot more of her actual thoughts on her journey day to day rather than these videos that get filmed and uploaded weeks/months later. for example she will say all of this, but then go online and talk about "jokingly" doing squats right after a big meal to feel better. it makes no sense to me. i think she has lost weight since posting this but i definitely think it would be really beneficial if she invested in a dietician asap to heal her relationship with food and get away from diet culture.
Hi Abbey, wondering if you could do a video on Saxenda, the “miraculous” weight loss injections.
For over two years I had no scales as it was the cause for my crippling mental health😭😭
I have really become more and more in love with your content.
Glad to have you here!
I’d like to see a review on Maryana Dvorska :)
Ooo I love snacks. I hate that they get such a bad press. I eat 5 meals a day anyway but if I wannit, I eatit. I know that doesn’t work for everyone but I do a lot of sport and that’s what works for me. Planning dinner as I write. So many options. Hmmmm.. yum yum.
Btw this lovely girl must be burning a fair amount of calories just from the speed she speaks. Very energetic!
Love the shot of her boyfriend eating happily behind her while she’s talking. Haha.
Yes, Electric Callboy! Such a fun band!
Jac is super hypocritcal and the people she surrounds herself with amp those behaviours up. By his actions, Jordan wants her to stop obsessing, but still habituates her attitude and skewed vision. It's too bad. I hope she gets professional help like a lot of her follows recommended from the very first vlog!
I don’t think finding it hard to stay the course on a weight loss journey makes one hypocritical. And she’s getting therapy
@@BPJonida I meant it more in what she says vs what she does, similar to what Abbey pointed out. Sorry if it came off the wrong way. She deserves to get through this and be happy with herself and proud of what she has gone through
Have you reviewed waffles with leila yet? She's a young woman that eats anything, she,likes and goes to the gym all day lol.
Have you ever thought about reaching out to Jaclyn for a collaboration? You could work together to deconstruct her diet mentality and make progress towards her having a more healthy relationship with food. This could be a unique opportunity for you to reach some of her followers, too.
However I do feel like most foods are restrictive if you only really like to heavy carbs foods. I'm not saying she does this, however, if pizza , pasta , french fries and burgers were not so fully packed of calories it's all I would be eating 60% of the time. It doesn't mean I don't like the other foods it just means I really like heavy carb foods.😄 For example I don't have a weight issue and I don't really gain weight but I still don't eat all of those just because I know it isn't healthy.
Oh yes I can confirm that my anxiety heavily influences my eating habits 😅 ever since I went into teaching training (which is really stressful”) I eat a lot more. I suspect to soothe myself.
She wants instant gratification. 6-8 weeks ? Then give up and try something else?? I don’t think she understands how this works and this is why she constantly struggles . It’s all about healthy lifestyle changes, consistency and patience
In 6 to 8 week that should be about 12 to 16 lbs if not then the changes aren't working. And that timeline is excruciatingly slow for lots of people.
You should review Keto Rewind. She’s an interesting study
I was just thinking like two days ago... where is abbey's jacklyn update?
The Electric Callboy reference is gold 😂
Electric Callboy with Pump It arrived to North America? So proud 💕
I love her so much and always have but some parts of the videos are hard for me to watch and trigger me a bit. She’s on her journey with a relationship with food and I hope she is able to improve that over time. I’m sure everyone is different, but she has so much restriction and rules and it doesn’t at all seem like something long term. Idk, my heart hurts for her 🥹😭♥️
Man I used to love her. It’s sad to see how much she restricts herself. I love working out and I need those carbs to fuel me!!! 😊
hey !!! abbey i am 16 am and i am suffering from binge eating disorder it has come to a point where i am losing hope that i will never be able to transform for health i know the science behind every food(all i have learnt from you) but still i am not able to recover
yes, the carbs that Abbey eats are called.. vegetables
As someone who used to struggle badly w/ food... I wish I could shake some women and yell "whatever you are doing to change your body needs to be something you can do almost daily for the rest of you life to maintain it, otherwise you are LITERALLY just destroying both your metabolism (its harder and harder to loose weight that youve lost and then gained back) and your nervous system (restricting and binging is horrible our nervous system)" it doesn't have to be this painful. Sad to see
Me watching this while eating pasta AND potatoes 😂
Same girl :) lets enjoy our food 💕
Love carbs
@@AbbeysKitchen yes 🙌🏻
I really hope Jaclyn finds a way to enjoy food and find a balance as opposed to yo-yo dieting ❤
Agreed
Girl let me get my burrito and enjoy this vid. 😁
Enjoy 🌯
Abbey, where’s the sweater from so I can buy it asap?! ❤
It really is beautiful and perfect on her.
She literally gaslights her damn self. She’s a millionaire at this point if not billionaire, she has ZERO excuse not to have hired professionals by now. I’m broke and even I have a trainer/nutritionist.
You look really pretty in this video.
Throw out the scale and pull out the measuring tape. Visceral fat loss is a much better indicator of how well your lifestyle is working for you and a better indicator of future health outcomes than numbers on a scale. I no longer weigh myself. I pay attention to how I feel, what my labs say (I'm diabetic) and what size pants I've got on.
I did not expect that Electric Callboy clip 😂
There’s a weight loss service in Australia called Juniper that prescribes Saxenda. They claim that Saxenda can change your set point weight. Is this possible?
Abbey, do you think intentionally being in a calorie deficit aligns with intuitive eating?
What would you consider occasional overeating episodes? I'm curious if I fit into the timeframe for that.
To be diagnosed with binge eating disorder? I believe it's at least twice a week.
I wonder how her too be husband can stand all the diet talk . It really is all about the calories and carbs are just another food group to balance off your meal !
Interesting video idea. Yoyo dieting effects on relationships
woah. i struggle with depression and anxiety, which i assume probably messes with my cortisol. i carry all my weight in my stomach, and can’t seem to shed it. i always wondered why I’m skinny everywhere but my stomach, wonder if it’s related
I’m the same girl I gain weight on my tummy and have suffered from both and have pcos. I would say eat what you want but with protein such as chicken meat etc and drink water. Trust me you will get full and not binge eat(I used to binge) protein is the key, if you want a noodles cool but add veggies or proteins add protein instead of skipping it, it will help you not crave and you should loose weight on your tummy
Isnt she rich? Hire a chef or meal service. I wish I could. I feel like thinking about food makes me gain.
Please cover Lori Harvey!!!! Love the Jaclyn series :)
Does anyone know any additional information about the type of therapy jacyln goes to? It looks like she just sits there with a helmet on and doesn’t talk through anything. I don’t know anything about it, but that’s how it appears whenever she talks about it in her videos. From my perspective, I just don’t know how it could be helpful to someone. Anyone know?
What did she say? 60 sessions of narrow focus?
I see myself in her so much. It’s still a battle for me.
I have to say, I think she may be the most triggering person you've had on your channel. She has a lot of anxiety in her voice, like a LOT. She is so immersed in diet culture that she doesn't understand how triggering she actually is. It makes me feel sorry she has to live in her own head because if those are the thoughts that she verbally expresses for her channel, I can't imagine what is happening in there the rest of the time. I think most of us are affected by diet culture, especially having grown up in the 90's/00's, but this is a lot. I hope she finds clarity and peace some day and finds kindness for herself.
If I were her friend I would tell her to just go ahead and get the nutritionist and hire the trainer!!!!! Stop trying to do it alone. I don’t know why she feels like she has to do this by herself. Just hire the professionals. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.
Also as someone who is actively trying to lose weight, I always see these videos and always think that the amount of food that these people are eating are way too small?
Could anyone tell me who this is I’m just curious I’ve seen several videos on her?
I really wish Jaclyn would see a therapist who specializes in intuitive eating. Jaclyn needs a good, solid, break/reset with some time devoted to learning to eat again.
She just needs a basic meal plan with no restrictions. 3 meals 2 snacks 1 dessert.
“I mean FINE!” Hahahah
If only she could overcome her internal fatphobia and RELAX. She's a beautiful woman no matter what weight. The relaxation about my own weight was the key to lower it in the long run and finally enjoy working out and enjoying food.
I feel for Jaclyn. I’m more or less going through the same thing. It’s so hard 😣 I’m not actively trying to lose weight anymore. I can’t stay on it long enough. It’s a cycle though of trying to eat better to lose weight but then I end up bingeing and feeling guilty about it. It never ends!
Hi, I totally get u. I was mentally struggling with this all year until I started working with a dietician. Together we r trying to figure out the best way for me
To sustain weight loss in the healthiest way. Before I couldn’t not diet past two weeks because I would be miserable. Here are a few tips from me to u: 1. Get movement in everyday, u don’t need to be running five miles, I incorporate 20
Min walks for my mental
Health. 1. Cook ur fav takeout meals
At home, they will be reduced in all that sodium and fat. 3. Figure what healthy foods u like, if u hate broccoli don’t eat it lol. 4. Incorporate veggies and fruits with some unhealthier Snacks u might enjoy. I like to put hot Cheetos on my salad instead of croutons. And lastly take

@@Jessie12N I really appreciate you sharing these tips with me 🥹🧡
These are great tips! I have to try hot cheetos on salad!
Please do a video on Dr. Mona vand
I think jacklyn looks beautiful just the way she is. She’s putting too much pressure on herself on loosing weight. She can eat pizza and have a drink sometimes. Just look for the portions and the other food you eat with it. She’s also confusion “inflammation” with “non-muscle” weight gain.
Love your videos!
