I lost 180lbs using calorie counting and don't regret it in hindsight but also wouldn't recommend it learning what I have learned from this channel and others. If you are to a level of obesity as I was chances are you are still eating too much and it is good to get that in check. While counting calories might be a good gateway if you really just need to start eating less, IF would have been more sustainable, especially when combined with focusing more on what you are eating. I gained a lot of my weight back and have been doing IF for over a month and have loved it and have started seeing/feeling results.
Weight loss in men is infinitely different than weight loss in women--especially if you're a woman that is/has gone through menopause. Counting calories simply doesn't work in that situation for women. I do agree that eating the recommended portions of food is a good start. Most of us don't read the label or look up what a "portion" is or how many portions of a particular food group we should be eating per day. My husband is in his 50's and he seems to be able to lose 10 pounds by having two meal replacement shakes and a sensible meal over the course of a week. Using the same dieting methods as he did, it took me over two months to lose 7 pounds. It's definitely tied to gender and hormone levels.
That’s amazing Ryan. Another tip you could try is becoming in tune with your body.. this is a natural system that is more sustainable then IF I believe. You obviously had a more radical journey then most so keep it up. Just go slow and steady so your weight loss is permanent. I’ve kept my weight off for 12 years and only going better and better every year the more I modify my diet as in being vegan and meal ideas. You can do it. Permanent weight loss. Break that limiting belief and be your actual weight you desire and deserve. ITS YOURS
Congrats on the loss Ryan!! I too lost 100lbs counting calories & exercising, but gained it all back after 2 pregnancies. Now Im here to start over and get rid of this 100lbs. The thing that is hardest for me is WHAT to eat. Its so hard to change my habits.
For the last few weeks I've been starting my day with about a 1-2 mile walk, as well as doing intermittent fasting. Due to the way I time it, I have about an hour between my walk and my first meal, and it's been life-changing! I've never felt this good, not even back in high school!
oatmeal for breakfast-insane! i thought i was helping myself walking vs. running-honestly i need to chill out, i realize how much i stress when it comes to weight loss no immediate breakfast-last week i tested eating right away because i heard your metabolism was fastest right in the morning, but i started incorporating intermittent fasting and it’s amazing! reduce hiit-i literally do this everyday some weeks, you’re teaching me the law of balance! protein, fat, fiber rich smoothie-amazing advice!

So grateful that God brought your TH-cam video to my timeline. I've been binge watching your videos and i've learnt so much. Thank YOU for putting out such informative content xx
She said to not eat it for breakfast, not to eat it at all. Did you even watch the video? Different things work for different people. She is actually great and she helps a ton of people. Don't call her stupid just because YOU disagree with her.
Hey there Autumn, I love your videos they are very informative and you do a fantastic job. Can you please make a video for those of us who are 45 and older? What we should be doing differently than our younger selves in order to keep the weight off? Thank you so much
Jay Stall I feel it’s the same overall info. Good eating tips don’t change. Younger or older. Unless you have a serious health problem then it’s the same.
@Jay Stall. I just did the Whole30 plan and the weight was redistributed. This video was very informative and explanatory, and fit right in with the Whole30 ideas. If you try it, the best advice from my coach was to meal prep ahead of time (make enough for several days) and not to make more than 1-2 new recipes a week. There is no counting calories and it resets your body. After 30 days, you take another 10 days to gradually add back in the food groups prohibited during the month. I hope this helps you or someone else!
FYI, insulin levels's really high at starting from 7to8pm. Avoid eating around that time. It works (I'm doing OMAD, sometimes 2 meals a day. try to finish eating before 6).
Autumn -- I'm so glad that I found you. I used to restrict my calorie only to find that it makes me binge. I'm the most fit in my life now, and I don't ever count calories (125 pounds for 5'6''). I do 14 hours intermittent fasting (which is not extreme at all), eat whole foods and get consistent workout. You may find Deni's channel (Clean & Delicious) has very similar messages as you.
I have just found you on my health journey and I am so thankful for your free content. The information is science based and I really enjoy your personality and how much you care for people. Thank you!
Thanks Autumn. I have been into fitness for the past 30 years but researching intermittent fasting has really made it clear the things I am doing wrong. Your videos are SUPER helpful. Thanks again and God Bless.
I lost 10 lbs with fasting but then hit a plateau. I didn't lose any more weight no matter. I decided to mix it up a little - sometimes maybe eating breakfast and fasting through the day until a late dinner. I'll see how this works out 🙂
Thank you for this (and every other video)! I am vegan and you are the one non-vegan youtuber I genuinely love watching and learning from. I have been having a very hard time losing weight as well as feeling light-headed after most of my meals. I got my blood work done and everything was perfect, so I've been at a loss. I do eat a very high carb diet as a lot of vegans do, and after watching your videos I have decided to focus on getting more fat, fiber, and protein in each meal. So far, when eating these types of meals, I feel great afterwards and do not get that light-headed feeling. I have read so many books and watched so many different videos and your channel has been the most helpful to me so far. Thank you!
Sarah Wagner that makes sense! The higher carb option can lead to the more variable blood glucose level (and those low blood sugar moments). I’m happy to hear that incorporating the fats, protein and fiber has helped!
As someone with Addison’s disease aka I have no working adrenal glands and don’t make my own cortisol so I have to dose myself with cortisol multiple times a day: you have a very warped understanding of cortisol and how/why it lowers and rises. Even positive stress (happiness/laughter/good surprises) raise your cortisol. Also, cortisol is negligibly affected by caffeine.
I followed Autumn's nutritional advice and exercise recommendations for three weeks and I gained an inch of fat in my stomach. I'm so confused! I didn't eat any junk, sugar, crazy carbs or anything. I even cut out coffee. I slept well, no high impact workouts that would increase cortisol, nothing. Only thing is I didn't do intermittent fasting due to my hypoglycemia. I've always been thin but wanted to tone up the mid-section. None of this worked for me :(
Did you find out what you were doing wrong? You know, muscle weighs more than fat. What did you scale say during this period...remember too that ones weight can fluctuate a good amount when taken day by day.
Hi Autumn, I really like your videos. I will be glad if you can make a video suggesting what can be eaten in these 3 meals you are suggesting or if you can suggest how much carb/ protein ratio in these meals.
Hi autumn yiur information is great! Love to see some new videos! Hope u are well! I am doing 16/8 only loosing super slow in week threee. Have calories down 1200 . No energy drinks bought my chia seeds today ! Thanxs two meals a day
Trying to lose weight, get fit and prevent myself from becoming a victim of my family's MANY, MANY genetic problems. (I know you can't prevent everything!) but there are A LOT that I can by being healthy--but the thing is I have no freaking idea what I'm doing and it's this that stops me more than anything. I can be extremely motivated but then wander around like what do I do? What do I eat? I don't have anything to eat that's actually healthy or whole... hmmm... I give up... lol
OMG i just stumbled upon this video and i always wondered why i NEVER feel satiated after eating oatmeal for breakfast, rather i feel even more hungrier and kept counting the time to lunch!! THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! i can do everything in this list except for the last one 😭 i absolutely love rice but i will try to swap them out for other options on alternate days! i'll also swap out some of my running/jogging days for walks and incorporate more HIIT exercises. thanks for the tips, autumn! this is really great for me since i recently started my intermittent fasting + weight loss journey! ❤️
Girl! I am so glad I found you! You have taught me more in your videos then ever before!!! Been dealing with these issues for decades and you have explained it very accurately and well. Keep these videos up!!!
This video has just confirmed that what I have been doing my whole life is primarly correct, for me. We are all different. People always want to know what I do to stay in shape. I might just send them this video lol. Thanks for this.
You're supposed to eat all your calories in a shorter window of time and you should be asleep for most of your fast. Just wait til lunch to eat and you have now fasted for 16 hours if you haven't eaten since 8pm the night before.
I tried eating 'less frequently' than 'eating less'. This made my meal portion size to go up. Feel sluggish when I eat more. I am on a low carb diet so beats me. Any wisdom out there would be appreciated.
Excellent advice! I have struggled with cortisol levels (and I’m sure elevated insulin levels) and didn’t realize so many things impact it-including high impact cardio which I’ve done for many years and, at times, I’ve worked out like a mad woman and have not lost a pound! I now realize why. Thank you 🙏🏼
I don't buy this one. Oatmeal is a terrific breakfast. I make mine with a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, and lots of fruit so that keeps the fibre balance better. I won't be giving up my morning oats anytime soon!
I discovered your channel recently and I want to thank you for your thorough, helpful explanations on all of these topics. would you consider sometimes using a white board or something to help follow along, especially with the cellular concepts and when talking about increasing/decreasing hormone levels etc. thanks again for your help and advice.
yuribe22 yes! I used to do that actually in my very early videos (in the first 5-7 I believe), but that’s a great idea to bring it back into the rotation!
Coffee with MCT oil and one haft spoon of green coffee bean powder and one tablespoon of Collagen peptide one haft spoon of Turmeric with to pinches black pepper pinch of red pepper one teaspoon of Gee two spoon of honey coconut creamer one haft drop of hemp oil . Ezekiel bread one toast with slice of Avocado two eggs . Great breakfast will help you drop weight .
I'm confused. So eating a limited number of meals is "correct" again? I thought multiple small meals a day was supposed to increase your metabolism? Can anyone explain?
I’ve just recently began my weight loss journey and you’re videos are giving me so much helpful information, thank you for explaining it all so well! 🤩
Can you make a video on how to lose weight for teenagers? I've heard that insulin is really important for IGF growth hormone, which is necessary for proper development.
I just discovered your videos and I have lost weight following your advice. You’re amazing explaining the science part of losing weight. I have question, I am also a big coffee person, I have limited myself to one cup a day, but you mentioned not to use flavored creamers, what if they are sugar free creamers and 0 sugar syrups. I really don’t like my coffee black. I hope you get this message, since this video is 3 yrs old. Thank you.
Yess.!!!!.. i work in the hospital and most of the time i have to take my first fast breaking meal while walking between seeing two patients... what should i take 🙁 sandwiches?
I read that organic oats contain a higher amount of soluble fiber which helps better regulate blood sugar, and it’s only instant or prepackaged oats with added sweeteners that have less fiber and (duh) spike your blood sugar levels. Sooooo if it’s organic oats and if I don’t add any type of caloric sweetener is that alright?
I was year when she had much less, maybe hundreds. It is amazing and satisfying the way she's grown so fast. I knew it. There must be comments by me in her early videos. Girl rocks.
Culture Addict some videos I was the only one of three or four comments. It is great to see how she grew because o would alway wonder why she wasn’t. It just took awhile to catch on!
I’m new to the Intermittent fasting world and simply adore Autumn’s methods and words of wisdom. I need clarification please.... I realize you are supposed to (typically) do the 8/16 fast and I’m able to do this. My question ... is this daily? How many days? I keep hearing about the 21 day challenges- does this mean you fast for the 21 days and then do what? Thank You!!
Men can fast daily, but that doesn’t work for most women, even post-menopausal. We are less insulin resistant from day 20 until the end of our cycles and we need more carbs during that time. For post-menopausal women, the recommendation is to still follow the same pattern, but perhaps tied to the days of the monthl to keep it simple. Source: Fast Like a Girl
Hi! I’ve started Intermittent fasting recently, and absolutely love it so far! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, and really appreciate all the info! I do have a question! I use ground flax seed in my yogurt. Is flax seed good or bad? I usually eat my yogurt in the afternoon for my 2nd meal (out of three). It helps me feel full so that my third and final meal can be smaller.
I do intermittent fasting everyday. What is a good meal to start with. I don’t usually eat oatmeal or cereal. I love eggs and avocado. I can’t seem to lose my belly.
I have been doing the 16/8 but instead of having three meals i ate only two meals, drank green tea between those meals. so far lost almost 17 pounds, barely moved a muscle throughout the 4-5 months when I was on the diet, I'm trying to incorporate working out and walking more.
Coffee with heavy whipping cream is now my favorite. On the oatmeal, get over it. You can't get around the glycemic impact. It will cause a big insulin reaction, especially the morning. And fasting is best way to restrict calories. Feast and famine, we were designed that way!
Autumn, I love your videos. I am wondering if I'm the only one that wishes you could talk a little more slowly. I am so interested in what you have to say, but I feel manic and anxious hearing you speak with no pauses. Maybe it's just me.
Honestly I don’t really follow a lot of channels with this sort of content and info. But I subscribed because your so thourough and give great advice for alternatives. Your content has so much good information on the facts about weight loss. Much appreciated
I would like to see the literature cited for potentially harmful claims like avoiding oatmeal for breakfast, reducing fruit consumption and swaping grains for fat. These three alone can result in severely reduced daily fiber intake, which is already quite low in an average American.
She has a separate video on carbs. She said in this video the type of food and it’s impact on insulin is what matters. Some carbs starch don’t impact insulin as much as others. She isn’t promoting keto. She’s promoting intermittent fasting and low glycemic index foods typically in her videos from what I’ve seen
Jheez I stumbled across your channel and I’m blown away by your advice. Finally something avant garde that no one talks about, love every single tip subscribed!
I'm dizzy following her hand movements! Can't watch, had to to click off but wanted to see if anyone else notice or if I'm being harsh.......nope, not harsh. Too much! Missed whatever messages she was trying to give...........next!
Makes me dizzy I think she has some great information it’s the true method of her information and getting it out there in a more professional manner that’s really the issue
You don’t need to focus as much on the 3 hour 45 minute rule if you’re using IF. You will already be getting MMC stimulation with your fasting period 🙌🏻
I do 16:8 and I eat only 2 meals. If you eat enough and the right healthy foods you won't even be hungry until the second meal. It's actually.better because my insulin is lower
So... In order to theoretically lose the most belly fat, pretty much just do the Keto diet, intermittent fast, walk, and go outside is what I got from this video.. Would that be an accurate way to summarize?
It depends on if you’re using IF or not. If using IF, the 3.75 hours isn’t as necessary because you’re already getting a fasted period. If you’re not using IF, then minimum 3.75 hours is ideal while also ensuring you’re eating until satiated.
Autumn Bates i fast for 12-14 hours most of the week. mon-fri, i break my fast at 6:00 in the morning & then my lunch at work isn’t until noon. when i don’t snack in between, i feel great but i was wondering if going that long isn’t a good idea since i already fast before breakfast? or does it not matter so much when i eat during my feeding window, so long as i stay within that 10-12 hour span of time? or does frequency of meals matter just as much?
Yeah I wonder this too. I eat breakfast at 7 ish, lunch at noon, and then supper is around 6. I generally have a small snack of yogurt and berries around 3 otherwise my family doesn't like me before dinner. I don't have time for a huge meal at lunch because I'm a teacher and I usually only get 10-15 minutes by the time I get to the staff room to heat up my food.
First of all, you’re remarkable. It’s a rarity to find someone on TH-cam who radiates authenticity but that’s you. So, thank you. Next - I’m trying IF once again. I’m 47, in decent shape, but always have a bit of a belly (and I do some sort of exercise everyday. Yoga. Walking. Whatever). THE QUESTION - What’s your opinion on TWO fatty coffees a day? Spread out of course. Just to make it so much easier to get to the meal at night? (I’m also a vegetarian). Thank you. So so so much for your help and time. 💌🥑
Lauren Bowie of course! 40g Scottish / rolled oats 250ml almond or soy milk (you can use water) Heat on medium heat on a stove for about 8 minutes or until cooked but still got liquid Teaspoon cinnamon powder 1.5 teaspoon chia seeds Tablespoon peanut butter (I use meridian brand) Optional - scoop of vanilla protein powder (add this after the oatmeal is cooked!) And then half a cup of frozen berries (you could use non frozen but for me the crunchiness breaks up the ‘gloopy’ texture) Voila ~~
She eats a very small amount of food. That simple. You could eat one slice of cake a day and look the same as her. You can tell just from her mannerisms she’s modifying her weight by intake alone. Just because someone is a chef doesn’t mean they like eating tons of food... second night one is watching her eat all her food she actually eats in a day.... taking a bite on camera isn’t watching someone what they actually do I don’t believe in lowering carbs or starches as it’s been a proven fact to feed high carb. Sugar from fruit and starches for weight loss from Nathan priticken to McDougall to raw vegans to people who eat potatoes for extended periods. All the highest lived people ( blue zones ) eat tons and tons of carbs.
The content on your posts is phenomenal. With the speed talking and photos popping up behind you, you really send a lot of good quality content out to your viewers quickly. These tips about decreasing Cortisol levels could be what is holding me back and keeping me in a crave sugar - stop craving sugar - stress driver back to craving sugar again quarterly loop. Thanks. Cortisol levels increase, so does belly fat. Doesn't higher stress cause increased cortisol levels? Have you addressed this in any of your posts?
Look into the benefits of lentils. They give you 'caloric load' without the insulin spike, loaded with protein, high in fiber, and they're also attributed to delaying the onset of menopause. Give it a quick Google, don't take it from me :)
Lili Mo there is no need to reduce carbs. The whole carbs > insulin = fat storage is complete bollocks. It’s a myth that has been debunked by numerous controlled randomised studies. I am surprised that someone who calls themselves a nutritionist is peddling this nonsense.
THANK YOU. Carbs and fat are a fuel source. Protein is a tool. If you’re active everyday, it’s okay to eat more carbs - they aren’t bad. Your body needs them
New subscriber and LOVE the “why/how” component to your informative ideas..so helpful when making healthy shifts. Keep these coming..born vegan in our culture over here btw..all love❤️🥰🙏🏽
Hi! I have an article on monk fruit sweetener here: www.autumnellenutrition.com/post/what-is-monk-fruit-sweetener-and-does-monk-fruit-raise-blood-sugar
Autumn, the first video I saw of you I wasn't very knowledgeable with anything you were talking about and I thought you were talking too fast. I commented on that very thing. Now that I've been researching IF, I love how your videos are straight to the point and full of information. Keep it up!
GREAT tips. I had to cut my HIIT down to twice a week. I think three was too much for my autoimmune issues and stalls fat loss. I do need some HIIT to retain muscle. I prioritize walking now. And IF has helped my GI issues.

Oatmeal is good for you and a good source of fuel to start off the day.

FYI, insulin levels's really high at starting from 7to8pm. Avoid eating around that time. It works (I'm doing OMAD, sometimes 2 meals a day. try to finish eating before 6).
Autumn -- I'm so glad that I found you. I used to restrict my calorie only to find that it makes me binge. I'm the most fit in my life now, and I don't ever count calories (125 pounds for 5'6''). I do 14 hours intermittent fasting (which is not extreme at all), eat whole foods and get consistent workout. You may find Deni's channel (Clean & Delicious) has very similar messages as you.
I have just found you on my health journey and I am so thankful for your free content. The information is science based and I really enjoy your personality and how much you care for people. Thank you!
Thanks Autumn. I have been into fitness for the past 30 years but researching intermittent fasting has really made it clear the things I am doing wrong. Your videos are SUPER helpful. Thanks again and God Bless.
I lost 10 lbs with fasting but then hit a plateau. I didn't lose any more weight no matter.
I decided to mix it up a little - sometimes maybe eating breakfast and fasting through the day until a late dinner. I'll see how this works out 🙂
Thank you for this (and every other video)! I am vegan and you are the one non-vegan youtuber I genuinely love watching and learning from. I have been having a very hard time losing weight as well as feeling light-headed after most of my meals. I got my blood work done and everything was perfect, so I've been at a loss. I do eat a very high carb diet as a lot of vegans do, and after watching your videos I have decided to focus on getting more fat, fiber, and protein in each meal. So far, when eating these types of meals, I feel great afterwards and do not get that light-headed feeling. I have read so many books and watched so many different videos and your channel has been the most helpful to me so far. Thank you!
Sarah Wagner that makes sense! The higher carb option can lead to the more variable blood glucose level (and those low blood sugar moments). I’m happy to hear that incorporating the fats, protein and fiber has helped!
As someone with Addison’s disease aka I have no working adrenal glands and don’t make my own cortisol so I have to dose myself with cortisol multiple times a day: you have a very warped understanding of cortisol and how/why it lowers and rises. Even positive stress (happiness/laughter/good surprises) raise your cortisol. Also, cortisol is negligibly affected by caffeine.
I followed Autumn's nutritional advice and exercise recommendations for three weeks and I gained an inch of fat in my stomach. I'm so confused! I didn't eat any junk, sugar, crazy carbs or anything. I even cut out coffee. I slept well, no high impact workouts that would increase cortisol, nothing. Only thing is I didn't do intermittent fasting due to my hypoglycemia. I've always been thin but wanted to tone up the mid-section. None of this worked for me :(
Did you find out what you were doing wrong?
You know, muscle weighs more than fat.
What did you scale say during this period...remember too that ones weight can fluctuate a good amount when taken day by day.
Hi Autumn, I really like your videos. I will be glad if you can make a video suggesting what can be eaten in these 3 meals you are suggesting or if you can suggest how much carb/ protein ratio in these meals.
Great free advice, as always love your vids
Thanks Ava!
Hi autumn yiur information is great! Love to see some new videos! Hope u are well! I am doing 16/8 only loosing super slow in week threee. Have calories down 1200 . No energy drinks bought my chia seeds today ! Thanxs two meals a day
Trying to lose weight, get fit and prevent myself from becoming a victim of my family's MANY, MANY genetic problems. (I know you can't prevent everything!) but there are A LOT that I can by being healthy--but the thing is I have no freaking idea what I'm doing and it's this that stops me more than anything. I can be extremely motivated but then wander around like what do I do? What do I eat? I don't have anything to eat that's actually healthy or whole... hmmm... I give up... lol
OMG i just stumbled upon this video and i always wondered why i NEVER feel satiated after eating oatmeal for breakfast, rather i feel even more hungrier and kept counting the time to lunch!! THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!
i can do everything in this list except for the last one 😭 i absolutely love rice but i will try to swap them out for other options on alternate days! i'll also swap out some of my running/jogging days for walks and incorporate more HIIT exercises.
thanks for the tips, autumn! this is really great for me since i recently started my intermittent fasting + weight loss journey! ❤️
Girl! I am so glad I found you! You have taught me more in your videos then ever before!!! Been dealing with these issues for decades and you have explained it very accurately and well.
Keep these videos up!!!
This video has just confirmed that what I have been doing my whole life is primarly correct, for me. We are all different. People always want to know what I do to stay in shape. I might just send them this video lol. Thanks for this.
“Don’t get hungry” vs “intermittent fasting”... are they contradicting each other?
Don't get hungry when feasting, when fasting it's kind of different, you are hungry but it passes.
You're supposed to eat all your calories in a shorter window of time and you should be asleep for most of your fast. Just wait til lunch to eat and you have now fasted for 16 hours if you haven't eaten since 8pm the night before.
I tried eating 'less frequently' than 'eating less'. This made my meal portion size to go up. Feel sluggish when I eat more. I am on a low carb diet so beats me. Any wisdom out there would be appreciated.
Thanks Autumn!! It's great starting the holiday season off with a flat belly and educated mind!! Happy Thanksgiving 2 U & yours!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!!
Excellent advice! I have struggled with cortisol levels (and I’m sure elevated insulin levels) and didn’t realize so many things impact it-including high impact cardio which I’ve done for many years and, at times, I’ve worked out like a mad woman and have not lost a pound! I now realize why. Thank you 🙏🏼
Me, eating oatmeal for breakfast every single day 🥵
Oatmeal is the best fucking thing in my live
Ari safari, how did it benefit you?
@@alexs3078 actually idk i just love the taste of it haha so i eat it everyday because i love it soooo much
I don't buy this one. Oatmeal is a terrific breakfast. I make mine with a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, and lots of fruit so that keeps the fibre balance better. I won't be giving up my morning oats anytime soon!
Oatmeal is the best I ain’t waisting my life avoiding it. I add chia, nut butter, and fruit.
I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist and I just wanted to say FABULOUS job! Science-backed and well-stated!
I discovered your channel recently and I want to thank you for your thorough, helpful explanations on all of these topics. would you consider sometimes using a white board or something to help follow along, especially with the cellular concepts and when talking about increasing/decreasing hormone levels etc. thanks again for your help and advice.
yuribe22 yes! I used to do that actually in my very early videos (in the first 5-7 I believe), but that’s a great idea to bring it back into the rotation!
Coffee with MCT oil and one haft spoon of green coffee bean powder and one tablespoon of Collagen peptide one haft spoon of Turmeric with to pinches black pepper pinch of red pepper one teaspoon of Gee two spoon of honey coconut creamer one haft drop of hemp oil . Ezekiel bread one toast with slice of Avocado two eggs . Great breakfast will help you drop weight .
I'm confused. So eating a limited number of meals is "correct" again? I thought multiple small meals a day was supposed to increase your metabolism? Can anyone explain?
It doesn't increase anything. The original point of it was to suppress appetite when dieting.
This has to be the most useful weight loss video in all of youtube (in Eng). Thank you Autumn!
I ate oatmeal for years and I decided to do protein and fat for a change. Bam! 10lbs came off.
(This was after about 6 weeks of keeping the rest of the foods I usually eat).
I’ve just recently began my weight loss journey and you’re videos are giving me so much helpful information, thank you for explaining it all so well! 🤩
Can you make a video on how to lose weight for teenagers? I've heard that insulin is really important for IGF growth hormone, which is necessary for proper development.
I just discovered your videos and I have lost weight following your advice. You’re amazing explaining the science part of losing weight. I have question, I am also a big coffee person, I have limited myself to one cup a day, but you mentioned not to use flavored creamers, what if they are sugar free creamers and 0 sugar syrups. I really don’t like my coffee black. I hope you get this message, since this video is 3 yrs old. Thank you.
Can you please make a video about breaking a fast in work, when you have limited time and resources
Caoimhe Kehoe I love this topic!! Adding it to my list now 🙌🏻
Autumn Bates yes please! 🙏
Yess.!!!!.. i work in the hospital and most of the time i have to take my first fast breaking meal while walking between seeing two patients... what should i take 🙁 sandwiches?
I am a psychotherapist and have about five minutes between sessions so this is an issue for me too!
I read that organic oats contain a higher amount of soluble fiber which helps better regulate blood sugar, and it’s only instant or prepackaged oats with added sweeteners that have less fiber and (duh) spike your blood sugar levels. Sooooo if it’s organic oats and if I don’t add any type of caloric sweetener is that alright?
The last time I was here, This channel had 20k subs.Wow!
Mclean Uwuses AENpeeps fam is growing! 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@AutumnBates Congrats! You are so deserving!❤❤
I was year when she had much less, maybe hundreds. It is amazing and satisfying the way she's grown so fast. I knew it. There must be comments by me in her early videos. Girl rocks.
Culture Addict some videos I was the only one of three or four comments. It is great to see how she grew because o would alway wonder why she wasn’t. It just took awhile to catch on!
Thank you! thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For explaining this so well !
I can’t seem to eat oatmeal anymore, I react to it post kids, makes me feel rubbish and tired. So yay!
I’m new to the Intermittent fasting world and simply adore Autumn’s methods and words of wisdom. I need clarification please.... I realize you are supposed to (typically) do the 8/16 fast and I’m able to do this. My question ... is this daily? How many days? I keep hearing about the 21 day challenges- does this mean you fast for the 21 days and then do what? Thank You!!
Daily
Men can fast daily, but that doesn’t work for most women, even post-menopausal. We are less insulin resistant from day 20 until the end of our cycles and we need more carbs during that time. For post-menopausal women, the recommendation is to still follow the same pattern, but perhaps tied to the days of the monthl to keep it simple. Source: Fast Like a Girl
Hi! I’ve started Intermittent fasting recently, and absolutely love it so far! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, and really appreciate all the info! I do have a question! I use ground flax seed in my yogurt. Is flax seed good or bad? I usually eat my yogurt in the afternoon for my 2nd meal (out of three). It helps me feel full so that my third and final meal can be smaller.
Alicia Gorzen flax is amazing but I would switch it up with chia. She recommends chia a lot.
I do intermittent fasting everyday. What is a good meal to start with. I don’t usually eat oatmeal or cereal. I love eggs and avocado. I can’t seem to lose my belly.
Maaaan I’ve been eating oatmeal on breakfast every single day since forever! I don ‘t even know what to eat instead 😢
Claudia Driemeyer check out my Chia Porridge with Raspberry Compote recipe that I shared a few weeks ago on my channel!! 🙌🏻
I have been doing the 16/8 but instead of having three meals i ate only two meals, drank green tea between those meals. so far lost almost 17 pounds, barely moved a muscle throughout the 4-5 months when I was on the diet, I'm trying to incorporate working out and walking more.
Coffee with heavy whipping cream is now my favorite. On the oatmeal, get over it. You can't get around the glycemic impact. It will cause a big insulin reaction, especially the morning. And fasting is best way to restrict calories. Feast and famine, we were designed that way!
This is correct.
I love to sit in my backyard patio. Relaxes me so, so much. Great content.
Autumn, I love your videos. I am wondering if I'm the only one that wishes you could talk a little more slowly. I am so interested in what you have to say, but I feel manic and anxious hearing you speak with no pauses. Maybe it's just me.
U can turn the speed down😉
3 dots in the upper right corner playback speed
I like you because you talk fast and get to the point...
Honestly I don’t really follow a lot of channels with this sort of content and info. But I subscribed because your so thourough and give great advice for alternatives. Your content has so much good information on the facts about weight loss. Much appreciated
I would like to see the literature cited for potentially harmful claims like avoiding oatmeal for breakfast, reducing fruit consumption and swaping grains for fat. These three alone can result in severely reduced daily fiber intake, which is already quite low in an average American.
Love your videos Autumn! You make healthy eating so much easier!
Thank you!
so you're basically saying to do Keto? You didn't say anything about why carbohydrates are so important and should not be cut out. Just confused
Who told you carbs are important to the point of not having to cut them out?
She has a separate video on carbs. She said in this video the type of food and it’s impact on insulin is what matters. Some carbs starch don’t impact insulin as much as others. She isn’t promoting keto. She’s promoting intermittent fasting and low glycemic index foods typically in her videos from what I’ve seen
Thank you so much - this is really interesting
Love this video! It’s like everything you’ve been teaching us put into one video. Very informative and super helpful information. Keep it up!
Jheez I stumbled across your channel and I’m blown away by your advice. Finally something avant garde that no one talks about, love every single tip subscribed!
iit might be just me, but you look like you're rapping :D
Lol
I'm dizzy following her hand movements! Can't watch, had to to click off but wanted to see if anyone else notice or if I'm being harsh.......nope, not harsh. Too much! Missed whatever messages she was trying to give...........next!
It's cuz she edits out the parts when she breathes. Makes the video unnatural if you ask me
@@janine5540 i wouldn't go that far - still enjoyed the content. Just thought it's funny.
Makes me dizzy I think she has some great information it’s the true method of her information and getting it out there in a more professional manner that’s really the issue
Thanks for the info! I have been trying to implement these strategies slowly in the last 1.5 weeks and have dropped 5.5 pounds!
What is the best time to eat oatmeal? 😭
Ashlynn Edwards lol right I actually stopped eating it for breakfast and I’ve seen results in my midsection area so maybe she’s on to something 😊🙆🏻♀️
@@jasminewatkins3784 what did you replace it with?
How do I fit 3 meals in my 8h window by eating every 3h 40min?
You don’t need to focus as much on the 3 hour 45 minute rule if you’re using IF. You will already be getting MMC stimulation with your fasting period 🙌🏻
It's not that you have to have three meals. It's a good rule to keep people from snacking.
Actually it works. For example: Meal 1 at 8 am, Meal 2 at Noon, Meal 3 at 4 pm. So, 3 meals, 4 hours apart, all within 8 hours.
I do 16:8 and I eat only 2 meals. If you eat enough and the right healthy foods you won't even be hungry until the second meal. It's actually.better because my insulin is lower
perfect video!!thank you!!!
So... In order to theoretically lose the most belly fat, pretty much just do the Keto diet, intermittent fast, walk, and go outside is what I got from this video.. Would that be an accurate way to summarize?
This is solid info. Thanks
Don't forget intermittent fasting in all of this ….an incredible, powerful tool !
Stephen L agreed!
Or just don’t eat back to back days ,dry fast/soft dry fast on the day you don’t eat ,then you can eat like a boss
Girl i am binging ur vids right now!!
would you recommend an even longer time between meals or is 3.75 optimal?
It depends on if you’re using IF or not. If using IF, the 3.75 hours isn’t as necessary because you’re already getting a fasted period. If you’re not using IF, then minimum 3.75 hours is ideal while also ensuring you’re eating until satiated.
Autumn Bates
i fast for 12-14 hours most of the week. mon-fri, i break my fast at 6:00 in the morning & then my lunch at work isn’t until noon. when i don’t snack in between, i feel great but i was wondering if going that long isn’t a good idea since i already fast before breakfast? or does it not matter so much when i eat during my feeding window, so long as i stay within that 10-12 hour span of time? or does frequency of meals matter just as much?
Yeah I wonder this too. I eat breakfast at 7 ish, lunch at noon, and then supper is around 6. I generally have a small snack of yogurt and berries around 3 otherwise my family doesn't like me before dinner. I don't have time for a huge meal at lunch because I'm a teacher and I usually only get 10-15 minutes by the time I get to the staff room to heat up my food.
Hey Autumn! Great video as always! Are bars with the following nutrition ok?
Fat 10
Carbs 22
Fiber 5
Sugar 13
Protein 12
Fruit “overloads the liver” and “causes insulin resistance...” I’d like to see a source cited
Actually she said fruits in an *all fruit smoothie*, she wasn't talking about fruits by themselves. She has fruits in her own smoothie
Fructose goes straight to the liver unlike glucose. This converts them to triglycerides. If you want sources...go look for them. They are there.
Thank you for sharing,love to see your video 😀
Can we see a what you eat in a day. You listed everything I do 😢
First of all, you’re remarkable. It’s a rarity to find someone on TH-cam who radiates authenticity but that’s you. So, thank you. Next - I’m trying IF once again. I’m 47, in decent shape, but always have a bit of a belly (and I do some sort of exercise everyday. Yoga. Walking. Whatever). THE QUESTION - What’s your opinion on TWO fatty coffees a day? Spread out of course. Just to make it so much easier to get to the meal at night? (I’m also a vegetarian). Thank you. So so so much for your help and time. 💌🥑
My oatmeal recipe keeps me full for 7 hours.... so... i aint giving that up lmao
Same...I love my overnight oats lol
CosimasNiehaus I’m gonna need that recipe
Lauren Bowie of course!
40g Scottish / rolled oats
250ml almond or soy milk (you can use water)
Heat on medium heat on a stove for about 8 minutes or until cooked but still got liquid
Teaspoon cinnamon powder
1.5 teaspoon chia seeds
Tablespoon peanut butter (I use meridian brand)
Optional - scoop of vanilla protein powder (add this after the oatmeal is cooked!)
And then half a cup of frozen berries (you could use non frozen but for me the crunchiness breaks up the ‘gloopy’ texture)
Voila ~~
CosimasNiehaus how many calories?
Thank you for sharing all this knowledge! I love to see your videos!
I really would like to know what sadia from pickuplimes thinks of this.
Was also thinking the same. As I've been eating her overnight oats for weeks now, and I love them.
@@maureencameron4120 i love them too, I eat oats basically everyday and I have a flat tumy anyway. Plus I Always feel satisfied
She eats a very small amount of food. That simple. You could eat one slice of cake a day and look the same as her. You can tell just from her mannerisms she’s modifying her weight by intake alone. Just because someone is a chef doesn’t mean they like eating tons of food... second night one is watching her eat all her food she actually eats in a day.... taking a bite on camera isn’t watching someone what they actually do
I don’t believe in lowering carbs or starches as it’s been a proven fact to feed high carb. Sugar from fruit and starches for weight loss from Nathan priticken to McDougall to raw vegans to people who eat potatoes for extended periods. All the highest lived people ( blue zones ) eat tons and tons of carbs.
OMAD is a game changer for me. No need to count calories. I just keep my carbs low. Easiest thing I’ve ever done.
Ok, so where’s the link for your cookbook that you have mentioned in the past? Love your channel and thanks for all your hard work!🏜
Hi!! You can find my newest cookbook here: www.autumnellenutrition.com/product-page/autumn-s-nerdy-kitchen-cookbook
The content on your posts is phenomenal. With the speed talking and photos popping up behind you, you really send a lot of good quality content out to your viewers quickly. These tips about decreasing Cortisol levels could be what is holding me back and keeping me in a crave sugar - stop craving sugar - stress driver back to craving sugar again quarterly loop. Thanks. Cortisol levels increase, so does belly fat. Doesn't higher stress cause increased cortisol levels? Have you addressed this in any of your posts?
Being vegan and eating less starch and carbs is sooo hard
Look into the benefits of lentils. They give you 'caloric load' without the insulin spike, loaded with protein, high in fiber, and they're also attributed to delaying the onset of menopause.
Give it a quick Google, don't take it from me :)
Bala McLay I do eat a lot of lentils but you can’t live off legumes alone, it’s really hard to reduce carbs when you’re vegan
Lili Mo there is no need to reduce carbs. The whole carbs > insulin = fat storage is complete bollocks. It’s a myth that has been debunked by numerous controlled randomised studies. I am surprised that someone who calls themselves a nutritionist is peddling this nonsense.
THANK YOU. Carbs and fat are a fuel source. Protein is a tool. If you’re active everyday, it’s okay to eat more carbs - they aren’t bad. Your body needs them
Absolutely brilliant .
Holy shit 😮. So basically my entire life is wrong!
I can agree
New subscriber and LOVE the “why/how” component to your informative ideas..so helpful when making healthy shifts. Keep these coming..born vegan in our culture over here btw..all love❤️🥰🙏🏽
What do you think of monk fruit sweetener?
Hi! I have an article on monk fruit sweetener here: www.autumnellenutrition.com/post/what-is-monk-fruit-sweetener-and-does-monk-fruit-raise-blood-sugar
Autumn, the first video I saw of you I wasn't very knowledgeable with anything you were talking about and I thought you were talking too fast. I commented on that very thing. Now that I've been researching IF, I love how your videos are straight to the point and full of information. Keep it up!
Great information, but waving your hands about is very distracting from the message you are conveying
GREAT tips. I had to cut my HIIT down to twice a week. I think three was too much for my autoimmune issues and stalls fat loss. I do need some HIIT to retain muscle. I prioritize walking now. And IF has helped my GI issues.
Just bought 2 jugs of oatmeal bcus that's what the last youtuber recommended 🤦🏻♀️
😅😂
This is the best video about IF I found on TH-cam. Thanks!!!!
