YES! so glad you have vids that are longer! Just an idea for a video down the road... For those of us starting out how to come up with a weekly routine for losing weight and wanting to lift!
I am SO excited that you finally made a youtube! Love you on IG and excited to follow you here! You're the whole reason I got into weight lifting because you're tiny like me and it doesn't look "chunk" or "masculine" like people think. It looks beautiful! So excited that you're on youtube!
I've just discovered you. I've been eating clean for a year and have lost 49lbs in 52 weeks. I still have lots to shed but I'm stuck so need to up the anti. So I've started your vids from the beginning and so far I'm quite into you :)
Very late to the party here but I stumbled upon your channel and gonna watch from the start and loving your personality already lol. looking forward to what's in store!
Hi Jen! Im so happy to see you on youtube! It's nice to see you for longer than 15 seconds haha. I have a few questions: you mentioned you do rice or potatoes for quick absorption post workout, but I thought complex carbs took longer to absorb (thats why they're "complex")? Also you mentioned fruit preworkout to sustain you, but I thought fruit was simple carbs, so they would absorb faster? There's so much info out there I'm just a little confused. Thanks for your help! xo
yay! i'm so glad i discovered your channel! i've been following you on ig for so long and had no idea you had a you tube! question, do you drink alchohol?! if so, how much and what kind?? every time i drink i feel like it takes me 5 steps back
Hi so I always use a prewotkout because I can't digest food fast enough. Some times I eat half of a banana with some almond butter about an hour before and I will still be feeling like the food wants to come up. Any suggestion?
A pre workout meal is different for everyone, because sometimes people do digest food a little slower. If you can, try eating that meal 2 hours before you workout and see how you feel. :) You're body can only do one thing at a time, digest your food, or exercise, so chances are you're having digestive problems because it's trying to choose to do one or the other. Hope this helps.:)
You're amazing! I do have a question about complex carbs do you eat any whole grains? Or do most of your carbs come from fruits and veggies. I have had the hardest times accepting carbs even tho I know they're essintial 😬
hi jen I discovered you about a month ago I love the way you talk I weigh 162lb right now lost 10lb but for 1 month not losing any also I don't do cardio much any suggestion?
Hello Jen, I know you have probably been asked this question multiple times but I can't seem to find the answer in any of your videos or comments. I wake up at 4:30am to work out (Only time available) and I am unsure of what pre-workout would be best. I usually have a banana and BCAA but I am afraid it is not enough carbs. What would you recommend for someone who has to work out in the AM and doesn't have time to eat and digest a meal? I apologize if you already answered this question. lol. Thanks!!
she uses karbolyn alot. its like liqyid carbs. another option i LOVE blending oats in smoothies. so like.. super basic one. 1.1oz old fashioned oats, 1 banana, 6oz milk. lately ive been adding berries and greens. i also like overnight oats. ill do 4oz milk, 4oz greek yogurt, 1.1oz oats (more or less sometimes) and whatever fruit and nuts i feel like. mix them all together and leave in the fridge over night or mix them on the am and let them sit all dya if im doing a pm workout. so you can prep your over night oats before bed and theyll be ready when you need to eat them early in the morning so you dont waste any precious sleep. there are TONZ of recipes for overnight oats on pinterest.
Mayra Campos I workout at 5am most of the time and I drink a protein shake or protein bar..It's hard for me to eat a big meal because I'm not hungry that early in the morning. .
You say carbs are good , but I want to lose weight , I'm a endomorph so I need to lose weight before I gain muscle. Not sure if it goes hand and hand & I can do both . I'm also trying to get rid of my LH ...
I work out really late at night so I don't like eating right after as I go to bed about an hour after the gym. I don't want it to sit in my stomach and be stored as fat. What do you think is good for post workout late at night?
i do the same. and honestly ive been drinking my 1 protein shake a day. im a HUGE ice cream fan so my gormet vanilla protein shake takes the place of it. ill mix n it and put it in the freexlzer pre workout and then after i eat it with a spoon and its so so yummy. ill blend strawberries or whatever in it. i use the pescience select protein. its a casein whey blend so you get slow and fast absorbing proteins. recently she posted a video (or maybe i jusylt recently saw) with her eating a steak right before bed saying that its good because its slow absorbtion. but in alot of her videos she says it really doesnt matter what time you eat. eating anything before bed is ok. the fat storage problem really presents itself when your not eating properly throughout the day and then binging at night. thats when your body stores it all as fat. im no expert i just am obsessed with her videos and education and my protein shakes at night have been working out well for me. with upping my cals and carbs, customizing my macros and consuming 80-90% whole foods ive seen TREMENDOUS results. the scale hasnt changed much but my physique clearly has.
i don't use a microwave! personal preference, but reheated your food can kill the essential nutrients in your food! so i typically stay away from that!
I do my workout first thing in the morning, like 5am. I've been eating a piece of sprouted bread with a tbsp of PB on it before I leave the house and then I add Karbolyn and bcaa's to my water bottle for my workout. Immediately after my workout on the drive home I'm drinking a whey protein shake. Do u feel like that is enough or should i give my body more food before I leave the house?
+Justine Monroe you can do a smoothie. Something like a scoop of Protein, oatmeal, and spinach. If you're waking up that early, you can also do intermediate fasting and just sip on BCAA's.
ooohh i like that idea a lot! I have been eating 1/4 cup oatmeal or a protein pancakes with peanut butter. What do you mean by intermediate fasting? Thank you for the suggestion!!
White rice and brown rice essentially have the same nutrients the only difference is brown rice still has the shell on so it takes you longer to digest so it keeps your blood sugar steady and keeps you full longer. So you would want to do white rice AFTER a workout because your body needs it quick.
YES! so glad you have vids that are longer! Just an idea for a video down the road... For those of us starting out how to come up with a weekly routine for losing weight and wanting to lift!

+NetteDidHarry I think she misspoke and didn't realize it. You are correct. She described them correctly, just used the wrong word.

Hey Jen☺️ I'd love to know what supplements you suggest to take. Basically I'm lost on all it😅 Thanks😘

hi jen I discovered you about a month ago I love the way you talk I weigh 162lb right now lost 10lb but for 1 month not losing any also I don't do cardio much any suggestion?
Thanks for the tips!!! Actually accurate according to biology! :) love yaaa ~
Can you do a day of the food you eat? I thought it would be interesting
It does help. Thank you for the well explained info!
Thanks Jen! love you.
So how do you keep it warm then. Thanks
i don't know if you have a video on waist training... but do you endorse/recommend it? if so how? and when?
If I work out later at night, what would you suggest I do since all I keep hearing is how bad it is to eat late at night.

Mayra Campos I workout at 5am most of the time and I drink a protein shake or protein bar..It's hard for me to eat a big meal because I'm not hungry that early in the morning. .
I love oats
may I ask how much your supposed to eat before and after a workout ?
I have a question im confused about. When working out dont you only want to work on one set of muscles instead of two.
what about days you don't workout? do you still consume carbs?
You say carbs are good , but I want to lose weight , I'm a endomorph so I need to lose weight before I gain muscle. Not sure if it goes hand and hand & I can do both . I'm also trying to get rid of my LH ...
I LOVE your vlogs.....please write a book-training wholefood cookbook
Why does it matter if a complex carb is fast or slow digesting?
I work out really late at night so I don't like eating right after as I go to bed about an hour after the gym. I don't want it to sit in my stomach and be stored as fat. What do you think is good for post workout late at night?

Great vid Jen!
One tip though when you are doing something like this... Try not to say umm as much but otherwise very good vid!
How do you keep your food warm If you don't use a microwave. Thanks
i don't use a microwave! personal preference, but reheated your food can kill the essential nutrients in your food! so i typically stay away from that!
+Jen Heward ~True but doesn't warm food digest better? My naturopath said for ibs for sure no cold foods or frozen shakes.
is white rice better than brown?
I do my workout first thing in the morning, like 5am. I've been eating a piece of sprouted bread with a tbsp of PB on it before I leave the house and then I add Karbolyn and bcaa's to my water bottle for my workout. Immediately after my workout on the drive home I'm drinking a whey protein shake. Do u feel like that is enough or should i give my body more food before I leave the house?
Do a video on what you eat in a day.
Good stuff!!! Keep it up
What is a good early morning pre workout meal
+Justine Monroe I love eating oatmeal before a morning workout!
I get up at 4:30 am to work out! Haha i guess I could get up earlier to eat...
What do you think Honey Buns... I have been using a liquid carb...
+Justine Monroe you can do a smoothie. Something like a scoop of Protein, oatmeal, and spinach. If you're waking up that early, you can also do intermediate fasting and just sip on BCAA's.
ooohh i like that idea a lot! I have been eating 1/4 cup oatmeal or a protein pancakes with peanut butter. What do you mean by intermediate fasting? Thank you for the suggestion!!
you are so adorable, especially when you laugh :D
Is white rice good .
White rice and brown rice essentially have the same nutrients the only difference is brown rice still has the shell on so it takes you longer to digest so it keeps your blood sugar steady and keeps you full longer. So you would want to do white rice AFTER a workout because your body needs it quick.
Oh so if I keep on doing cardio Lang Zumba and pilates and not luftong weights I won't lose weight?

Do you ever get nausea eating a half hour before working out? That is my issue.
I usually wait an hour if I feel like if I have to.
Do you sometime eat sandwiches like burgers or hot-dogs ? If yes, how often ? Because this is unhealthy :)
Omg lol this is not unhealthy. This IS healthy. Burgers and hotdogs 😂😂 thanks for the laughs bruh
