EAT Right and SAVE Time
---------------------------------------------------------
RUN TO:
1. Chopped celery in your fridge
2. Drink water because it's good for you with zero calories and zero fat!
3. Steamed baby carrots 🥰
TO EAT WHEN YOU ARE RUSHED & DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO EAT BEFORE YOU WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR OF YOUR HOME.
---------------------------------------------------------
My objective for this channel is to share with others what I have learned over the last 30+ years about living and eating healthier. I share my knowledge with my small circle of friends all the time. I am not a doctor, nor do I hold any type of medical degree, but I believe that my tried experiences may help someone else.
For over 30 years I have used every diet imaginable to lose weight, but I confess that I am now at home using the vegan lifestyle. I want to share what I have learned about eating and enjoying food. And, since I am still learning how to be more consistent with this lifestyle, I have decided to eat more healthily, realizing the weight will come off eventually. Though I have not reached my goal weight, I know that sharing with other people in front of a camera with help me to stay on course.
I have, with the help of my husband of 37 years, raised 3 grown children. I will also share some cooking shortcuts as well as some natural formulas I have used and still use for everyday problems.

Thanks for the reminder that advance preparation is really important. That's something I need to learn to practice. Right now I'm not very good at it. That's why your tips are so helpful today!
Diane, don't judge yourself too harshly. 😥 This journey of changing your eating habits isn't reached with one step but many. Recognize what you need to do and take a step toward that goal. You will reach it IF YOU DO NOT give up. Don't give up, ever. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and continue onward. Okay? okay! 😉🥰
You have such a nice, relaxed presentation-very calming, plus very reasonable, sensible ideas!
Thanks so much, Linda for all of the adjectives you've used when you speak about me...I am humbled. Years have taught me so much...I just want to share it with others. I am so thankful you appreciate what I share. I appreciate you, Linda🥰
Berta Jay, You really motivate me! I do have celery in the fridge. Tomorrow morning the first thing I'm going to do is cut up the celery and have it ready when I'm hungry and ready to pop a cookie into my mouth. Thanks.
I realized, janiboma, that I like crunchy so I just replaced 'cookie and potato chip' crunchy for celery crunchy. I am proud of you already. This really helps me; it will help you, too! Let me know.
You are a lovely lady. It's a blessing to visit your kitchen. Thank you for sharing.
It's a blessing to have you visit. I enjoy sharing with you Troupers so much. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment. Also, do forgive me for taking so long to get this reply to you. Have a productive and calm day 😊
Thanks for the tips! I keep a big container of cold-brewed herbal tea in my fridge, which I really enjoy-I go through 1-2 quarts/litres a day. I change up flavours so I don’t get bored.
Great idea, Anahid! Staying hydrated is so important and you've learned that and are putting it into practice. Thanks for sharing. 😍
Thanks Bertha Jay for the great tips. I enjoy your videos.
You're welcome, Jo, I appreciate your support.
I stumbled upon your page and love your recipes, how-to’s and overall bearing. I’m trying to eat and cook healthy and although I’m a 60 yo woman I’ve never developed an interest in cooking. I’ve vitamix, George Forman, Pressure cooker and draw a blank when it comes to preparing meals. I realize that my mother didn’t do much cooking. Your videos are easy, non-pressure and appetizing. Love your hair as well, Keep it coming.🙋🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Wow, Knit, I am so encouraged by your words of appreciation. I want to help as many people as I can eat better. I am 68 yo and you can do this if I am doing it. I am so grateful that my videos are helping you to stay on track. Just remember: when you fall down, you must get back up again and keep going but never, ever, ever give up! okay? okay. 🥰
Berta Jay will do! Very best.
@@knitsistah2312 😊❤😍
Nice tips! What really works for me is batch prepping. I also batch prep my daily salad. Love having food prepped & ready to go!
Debbie in WA Ü
Food prep is wonderful. You're a wise woman and I love hearing from you, Debbie in WA! 🥰
Beautiful light, beautiful colors and great wisdom. Bravo!!
Thank you so much, emmavele! Your encouragement is greatly appreciated by me. Have a joy-filled day😊
Berta Jay, I actually get the San Marzano minis at Wal- Mart grocery or at my local H-E-B market here in Texas. They are packaged in a little clear bag with a handle top. San Marzanos are superior in nutrient density and are the preferred tomato among Italian chefs and cooks because of their superior taste. Look for them where the other tomatoes are located in the produce section. If you love tomatoes, you will not be disappointed. Hope this helps. Oh, one other thing. They are not round like cherry or grape tomatoes, but rather elongated in shape, with a somewhat pointed end. Thanks BJ.
Thanks so much, Renee. I will surely look for them; thanks for the detailed description. I do love tomatoes. 🍅 I grew up on a small farm and I still love tomato sandwich made with vine-ripened tomatoes. Thanks, again. Please accept my apology for not getting back to you sooner with a reply. I am sorry about that. Have a calm and peace-filled day. 😊
Thanks for your easy practical tips for staying healthy! You are an inspiration! I'm glad you didn't wait until you reached your goal weight before you started teaching us.
First, I apologize, Faye for taking so long to respond. 2nd, I appreciate your comments and so glad you shared it. I am still not at goal but I am going to keep working until I get there. I am not giving up this time like I have done so many other times. Thanks for you kind words. I and so grateful you shared them with me. I do need encouragement. Hope my videos will continue to do that for you. 😊
Great video, Berta. I think I'm already doing most of what you show today. [A] I'm a big fan of water & have a hard-sided Brita bottle next to me nearly everywhere. [B] I read somewhere that cooked carrots actually have more nutrients than raw. Now that doesn't seem right, but I think it IS true. I actually prefer cooked carrots to raw, although I do enjoy raw as well. [C] I keep celery handy too, as you show. Instead of eating potato chips - which I never buy anymore - I munch a handful of carrots or celery sticks. The crunchy-munchy factor of the vegetables really helps satisfy hunger, and you get to be proud of yourself when you're done because you ate healthy instead of junk. PS - nice stovetop steamer! I usually steam veggies in the microwave.
You convey your thoughts like I do...in a list. I love that...so easy to read and understand. Thank you for your support and your supportive comments. I appreciate you, Janet. 🥰
I like your soothing and calm voice Berta. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and wisdom with us.
You're welcome, Toni. I appreciate your comment and your kind yet humbling words. I am so glad you have found help by listening to what I have shared. That's exactly what I desire to do with my channel. 😊 ❤️ Great blessings to you always.
Berta Jay, I swear you are my sister from another mister! My stainless insulated tumbler is like my third arm. It is always filled with water and ice from my RO (reverse osmosis) system and never leaves my side. I've been doing this for over 25 yrs. Drinking water thru out the day really does help curb appetite and having prepared veggie snacks helps satisfy the desire for something crunchy. I like celery, cucumber sticks, baby carrots, red bell pepper slices and mini San Marzano tomatoes. They are sweet as sugar. Love your channel, BJ!
I have just learned something from you, Renee; I have not heard of San Marzano tomatoes. Where do you buy them? local grocery store or specialty shop? I really love tomatoes. I like the red Cherubs that come in a 'volcano-looking' container. I would love to try yours. Anyway, we do have similar habits and that's nice for me to hear. I love confirmations. Thanks so much for your support, "Sis" and your comment. ❤️😁
I love celery! Hubbs doesn't, but he loves carrots. Steamed veggies are so much better than boiling the life out of them. Been thinking about getting a water filtering system, and now you've sealed the deal for me, Miss Berta. Another great and helpful video. Thanks and God bless you!
You're welcome, Vicki. Looks like we're on the same page with preparing and eating good food. Do you have weight to lose or are you already at your ideal weight? Just curious. God's richest blessings to you and your family. 😀
@@bertajay, doggone it, I answered you here and hit the wrong key and lost it all. Yes, I could definitely stand to lose a good 15 pounds. My husband gets in quite late from work and I've taken to eating when he comes home, then shortly thereafter we go to bed. That'll pack on the pounds in short order! I'm trying to go in for more fresh salads and steamed veggies, so I very much appreciate your recipes. I'm a little concerned about getting the proper amount and balance of amino acids if I work my way off meats and poultry. Do you think I need a book like "Diet For A Small Planet?" Thanks in advance for all your great recipes and your answer to my question. God bless you and yours richly!
Advance prep is always a good thing I have found Berta. I raised 6 boys, so prep was necessary. Drinking water is a good thing too. It keeps me full feeling as well as hydrated. I've always drank lots of water because other drinks just make me thirstier. So it is just water for me 98% of the time. I drink at least 64 oz a day now, used to drink almost 3 gallons a day until a teacher at the school I worked at taught me that it wasn't good to drink that much water. I also love munching on celery and carrots. I don't steam my carrots though, unless I'm having them for supper. My dogs love carrots too, so I feed carrots to them as a treat. Love me some chic peas too! Do you ever toast your chic peas? If so will you do a video on toasting the chic peas? Your supper looks very good! Hugs, Brenda
Hey there, Hugs, Brenda. Advance prep is the answer to staying on track. About toasting chickpeas...I do have a video. Click here:
th-cam.com/video/aunkpHU1Cs4/w-d-xo.html
I made them last year, I think. Try them...they are so good! Thanks for sharing and being a loyal supporter. 🥰
Thanks Berta Jay for the great tips. I like the way you do your celery. I like to take celery with me when on the road anywhere. That way I have a snack with me, and I'm not tempted to buy junk snacks at a gas station.
Yes, Naomi! I love the way you think! Take easy snacks with you. It makes life so much simpler. Thanks, Naomi, for sharing. 🥰
I adore you, Berta Jay! I could listen to you talk all day. I bet you have some great stories to share about your mom, grandma and aunties.
I appreciate you, Lois. I do tell my children stories about me and my family. Though my mom passed away when I was 19yo, I still have fond memories of her with many stories to tell them. She loved to cook for our family and loved being a mom. Thanks for your comment, Lois. You are a dear. ❤️
I love fresh carrots, so sweet and tasty.
Fresh carrots are surely that...sweet, crunchy, tasty and healthy. Thanks so much, TopKek for your comment. I am sorry it has taken so long to get back to to you with a reply. Have a calm and productive day. 🥰
@@bertajay thank you berta, I havent forgotten about you, you are always in my prayers
@@MJDahling Thanks so much. I can use all the prayers l can. I appreciate yours. I am so glad that you are still around. Be safe but calm. Have a joyful day. 🥰
Thank you so much for the advise sweet lady Berta Jay. Much love to you.
And much love back to you, maria. Honestly, I am just telling you things I do that I use. These tips really help me. I used to keep my red cup of water OUT of the frame of the video but now I will keep it IN so you can see it because it is always somewhere close to me 😁. Thanks for your comment, maria.
I like to spread nut butter on celery. As for carrots - they’re my favorite veggie. 🥕😊
Absolutely! Spread away with the peanut butter on your carrots. It doesn't take much to satisfy my taste buds. It's high in fat so use is sparingly. Thanks for your comment, Maggie. 😀
Thank you!
That MAKES SENSE!!
Prepared snacks 👍👍👍
BLESS YOU! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 👍😁❤
Tina, you're welcome. I want to share with you the things that work for me. These little tips work. Yep, you must be prepared. Blessings back to you, Tina. 🥰
Hello, Thank you
You're welcome, milly. I apologize for taking so long to reply. 😊
Thank you❤
Yes, Thank you ! Simple great tips. Especially, appreciated exactly how long to steam the carrots. 🧡💛💚
Thanks, Berta!
You're so welcome, Connie. I appreciate your comment.🥰
Great tip, I just want to thank you Mrs Berta, I was just listening to a video last night about our body a temple and I know this but when we get confirmation I just need to follow it. Thank so much for all you. God bless you
Oh, Katie, l do enjoy hearing testimony of God confirming His words. Just keep that in mind what you have learned about your body because that is truth! Also, that He's right there when you need Him...so call on Him and test His availability. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for your comment and encouragement 😊❤👍🏽
Such good advice, essential information ! Berta, very very good advice !! I need to drink more water for sure ! Thank you precious one !!
Oh, linda. I appreciate your kind words. I really just enjoy passing on things to you and the rest of my viewers that I have to work for me. Glad you appreciate it. 🥰❤️
The other reason to run to water is that we more often than not are thirsty not actually hungry & need to drink water- and yes! Good clean preferably filtered water. At the worst you’ll gets some good water in you while you’re making dinner. Celery IS great bc there’s lots of water in it as you’ve said in other vids abt many veggies.
Ppl on dialysis typically need to watch their fluid load & limit fluid intake. My husband has been on peritoneal dialysis & had no issues w/water gain but was on a (stupid) diuretic to prevent edema (extremity swelling). Now that he’s on hemodialysis he needs to be more careful & drink more water often caffeine drinks bc hemo can give you low blood pressure. Obviously if you have kidney disease you’ll be having monthly labs meeting w/a dialysis dietician to make sure you’re a-ok. So don’t self-diagnose but DO communicate well w/your team.
Okay...thank you for that information, Marirose 😊
Thx Miss Berta! Everything looks and sounds great 👍
I think simplicity and preparing beforehand is one of the best ways to stay on course with eating healthy. I'm not there yet, but as I learn what to do that works, I will share it. I know that one day, I WILL REACH MY GOAL weight and be healthy. At that point I want to be prepared to stay healthy. Thanks, Lois for your support and your comment.😀
