Just don’t feel pressured to change. If you feel really healthy and energized by this food and have good digestion, etc., that’s a sign you’re doing it right.
I love how you eat regular food! People sometimes have some top notch exclusive and expensive foods. Sometimes regular foods that you can find anywhere work too!
Girl you have some serious metabolism going on :D If I would eat fatty sausage and that much food only 30min before workout- I would either feel sluggish or most likely puke it out during workout :)I can manage banana as preworkout. And can't imagine being without any fruit for breakfast :)
Azlia is awesome! She eats like a NORMAL person, not starving, has a beautiful, healthy shape and she is not restricting herself! Now THAT is what I call GOALS!
it’s so refreshing to see a young woman who eats a lot, i usually get so self conscious about how much food i need to be full and it was honestly comforting to hear her describe her big breakfast & big appetite in such non-judgmental terms :)
I admit I don't know this woman but she clearly looks very fit. I would imagine her workouts necessitate the extra calories too. Either way, no shame. Intuitive eating!
I could not agree more with you here. This is such a refreshing this to see. As a person who truly loves to fuel myself with healthy fats and proteins and carbs, I'm constantly reminding myself that I am healthy when I watch some of these influencers eat...nothing. This is an awesome video.
It would be super interesting if you reviewed the “glow up diaries” series that alivia d'andrea did. I watched it, and although it seems she is ultimately aiming for health, she has some extremely disordered thoughts and behaviours with food. I think series 2 will be different, but to me, series 1 was not great, it seemed to be promoting the toxic diet culture ideology and drawing a thin line between truth and very strange myths about nutrition.
Yes!! I watched the glow up diaries when it first came out, and then I stopped. Out of curiosity I checked out her channel two years later , to see how she was doing, and was surprised with the abundance of episodes. Some of the messages she sends are upsetting to me, and I’ve been wanting someone to analyze the series because I swore I was the only one who felt some of her messages were problematic.
Oh yeah, she definitely had (and may still have) a lot of all or nothing mentality in the first season. You could really see how much she was struggling through the series.
I agree! It’s really scary to see how viewers idealized her journey and how stressful eating seems to be for alivia. I genuinely am concerned for her and I thought I may have been the only one to notice
I love your rhetoric of “we” vs saying “she” needs to do this or that. It makes it seem like you’re not being accusatory and you’re including everyone the advice you’re giving! Good job 😊
Seeing a girl eat normal amounts of food so comfortably really was healing for me in my eating disorder recovery !! Also she looks fantastic and healthy !! I am so glad you covered this !! Thank you xox
I've never had nice nails, or long nails, but her comment about Azlia's nails and the many similar viewer comments are really rubbing me the wrong way.
Because they are micro aggression. I think white people especially have a cultural stigma against that sort of nail and I'll be honest, when I see nails like that sometimes my first thought isn't the kindest. But you always have to be reminding yourself: "it's none of your business! she can have her hands looking any way she likes."
I like how you said to include more veggies and fruit in her diet. That is my goal for 2021 for my family. I am trying to be healthier and I am giving up on diets!
I'm kinda surprised by this one tbh. She eats quite alot, which goes to show different bodies require different amounts of food as she's not overweight. It's refreshing to see her just eat whatever.
You're assuming people who are overweight eat a lot, which is a misconception. There are other reasons for someone to be "overweight" outside of how much they eat.
It may not be as much as you think since she doesn't seem to be into side dishes , deserts take outs and a lot of snacking throughout the day . She also mentioned that she doesn't always finish all of it .
Her diet is similar to mine, down to those exact bagels (they're so good, even plain and untoasted). I do eat a lot of fruits and veggies though. I like the idea of mixing zucchini noodles with pasta because I find the zucchini noodles on their own aren't enough (especially if I've worked out). I don't know why I never thought to just mix them.
Thank you for your videos, Abbey! Your videos helped me to realize I have Orthorexia. I keep watching to let your positivity speak louder than my brain, which has made up tons of inflexible rules about food. I greatly appreciate the work that you do!
Yeah, I realized she wasn’t even aware of what she was doing when she made the comment. I’ve seen her other videos and she typically doesn’t comment on the clothing or accessories the person is wearing
Abbey I'd like to see a video on foods that allegedly spike blood sugar levels. E.g. I always eat wholewheat bread because we're told white bread will spike our blood sugar levels and make us more hungry. But sometimes I wonder how much of a concern this really should be. But then if I DO eat the white bread, I'm expecting to feel hungry, so I feel like my brain is tricking me into thinking I'm hungrier than I am (the opposite of the placebo effect maybe?) Anyway, even if it's true, I'd still be interested in your thoughts on how much of a consideration this is for you in your everyday life. I think I maybe take it too far into borderline orthorexia territory.
Another few ideas for adding produce to that menu: - Bell peppers in the eggs - Apple slices in the tuna salad (sounds weird but it’s super tasty) - Roasted broccoli in the pasta One of the things I loved about Azlia’s video is how unfussy the prep was, and using frozen veggies would keep that theme. You can buy frozen diced peppers and onions and either sautée them or microwave them to thaw. And frozen broccoli roasts *beautifully*.
Azlia is such a fit and healthy person, she eats quite full meals and she loves to work out which seems to balance it out. I watch her vlogs and she eats what she wants, she has candy if she wants too. But she also doesn’t seem to overeat. She has a healthy appetite and eats often too. I guess she was blessed with a fast metabolism, but she also works hard in the gym.
Adding fruits and veg to what I already eat instead of feeling like I have to change my entire diet really clicks with me and has been helping me a lot. I love that you hit this point home in every video.
Needed a reminder to include more veg and this was it! I love how she eats carbs without shame though it's so relatable. Pasta is so good for the soul lol
Your overall attitude about food and your advice about intuitive, sustainable eating has me feeling so inspired to better my health in 2021. Thank you. 💙
I like that you never demonize anything as long as it feels good for that person. For example, you don’t demonize low carbs in a diet as long as it feels good to that particular person. I’m still trying to get my relationship with food right and I just try to do what makes my body feel good. This video was an amazing view into a normal everyday diet that feels right to this person in particular. No weird rules or gimmicks.
I'm always a little confused when people use chickpea or lentil pasta. My regural spaghetti (Barilla) has 13g of protein per 100g and it costs under 2 euros. Lentil pasta has like 15grams and it way more expensive. I understand that lentils and chickpeas are vegetables so it's better in that area but often those pastas are advertised as protein source for vegetarians or vegans.
Love you, but the nails comment just isn’t necessary. People who have certain additional form of feminine expression know how to cut things, wipe our butts and so forth. It’s also just a fairly normal thing in some communities. People always have something snarky or backhanded or “unintentionally” shade-laden to say about women’s self-presentation. You’re not like this, so....*taps nails on table* 🤣
+1 -- appreciate that she keeps sense of humor when discussing a sensitive topic like food, but think its best served on jokes/asides for which Abbey has personal experience or relates to.
@@OnlyLilynn44 I said what I said, and if you’re so opposed to people expressing themselves in moments such as these, perhaps you could have kept this to yourself rather than policing our feedback. I maintain my position, which I expressed with kindness.
I would love this too! I feel like they have a younger fanbase which is very strongly influenced by them. So seeing your perspective on their eating would be very helpful (:
type one diabetic here - not saying this is for your day-to-day average joe, but caffeine actually can raise your blood sugars (depending on your hormones). For myself, I am most insulin resistant in the morning and my cortisol levels are at their highest. If I were to have caffeine and not adjust accordingly, my blood sugars shoot up very high (and usually hover for a few hours, even if I exercise). From my knowledge, this is due to the fact that cortisol is found in the adrenal glands and secreted in response to stress which caffeine can activate that response. Just a thought to add - just because it doesn’t have carbs, doesn’t mean it won’t raise your blood sugar!
ok, I was not expecting the cut to the Monty Python black knight sketch and legit nearly choked to death on my lunch (so dramatic :') )when it came up. It never fails to make me laugh!
What do you think about the about of protein people consume? It always confuses me that a lot of people only focus on protein and consider just high protein = healthy.
Honestly the food is very accessible and similar to what I eat. No extra fuss for busy workers. I agree about adding fruit and veggies... The lunch would stay fuss free if she added a whole apple (no cutting) and baby carrots/celery sticks on the side (limited cutting), which is honestly what I eat most lunches w my sandwich. No extra time or energy spent and still relatively cost effective. :) and also add some chopped zucchini into the pasta. That pasta looked really good btw :)
Why is me a 25 year old woman literally tearing up that 2 people I have enjoyed so much in one video . Azzy truly has helped me with her great habits especially at such a young age. Love to see you both thriving 💚💚💚
Hey Abby! I hope you see this comment :D As a student who is going to take a longer exam in 3 months (7 hour exam with 1 hour lunch-break and 15 min breaks), I would really find it interesting to get some general tips and snack ideas on what to eat to stay as alert as possible. This would be really helpful for students who are studying for exams etc. so that we can optimize our learning Take care! :)
Love your videos! I know you work primarily with intuitive eating and would love to see more info on how to incorporate that into specific dietary restrictions! My parents both just got put on medicine for high cholesterol and high blood pressure and are looking to combat those through dietary changes, but are struggling with counting mgs!
The key to dry scooping pre workout is having a bit of water in your mouth before then pour the powder in and swish it all around then swallow😂 there’s a science to it
Abbey! Thank you for all you do! I am not sure if you would consider a video on diet and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? I was diagnosed fall of last year and boy let me say it is still just a lot. The core of it is having mast cells that overreact to a huge array of things, but diet is a big source! Triggers can vary person to person, but there is a huge focus on histamines; in MCAS your mast cells release histamines in extreme amounts in response to things that don’t cause that in regular bodies, such as stress, or even emotions. Many foods can be high in histamines so eating those foods adds more histamines can can cause debilitating effects as the release of histamines and other compounds from the mast cells triggers inflammation in the body as part of the immune response. In someone with MCAS this understandably leads to flare ups of extreme inflammation (I know this is often a buzzword in health communities). I am in the middle of a bad flare up, seeing my doctor after an upright MRI and CT scan of my neck with rotation we found I have quite a few severe abnormalities in my neck, especially stenosis of the central canal in my cervical spine. During the flares, my neck pain and chronic migraines get extreme. I lose control of my limbs, have searing burning pain throughout my body, have had everything neck down go numb, even having severe episodes of slurring my speech and completely forgetting where I am.. It’s something we are trying to seek treatment for. It’s a lot of things going on at once and these flare ups can be seemingly random but we are noticing a pattern of those episodes coinciding with my MCAS. It’s been a year and a half since the episodes like that started.. It’s been painful emotionally and physically, and honestly at times terrifying. I apologize if that was too many details, but my point is, there is a very high lack of understanding or awareness in the medical field let alone general public of MCAS. Your channel has been extremely educational for me but as I’ve learned with time my body cannot tolerate the same things a typical body can, and it’s been difficult to learn through trial and error as there are a multitude of things that can be affecting my MCAS at any given time. I’ve had allergy testing through an asthma and allergist doctor, and reacted to 47 different foods, it’s a lot to say the least. I understand you aren’t necessarily a doctor that specializes in MCAS, but if you ever made a video giving an overview of it that would be amazing! It wouldn’t surprise me if many people in this community benefit from it as MCAS isn’t talked about in much media and could raise awareness and bring a better general understanding for people like me. With all my heart again thank you for the amazing work you do, I truly enjoy your videos and your realistic approach to topics around health. I love the research and detail you go into on various topics on your channel and that you don’t buy into pseudoscience or ungrounded practices. Sending all my support and wishing you a successful year!
I really like her way of eating, it gave me an idea for my lunch tomorrow 😂 And I like the advice about adding food. It’s my new year resolution to have at least one serving of vegetables a day (so far it’s been at least two everyday) 😁
Recently discovered your channel and I’ve been enjoying this type of content so much. I’ve learned a ton and have had a much more neutral outlook on foods that are traditionally shamed in diet culture lately. I’d love to see reviews of Nikki Phillippi, Jenn Im, or/and Sam Ozkural. Thanks Abbey!
I like to add a handful of greens in wherever I can (spinach, kale, collard, bok choy, etc)-into smoothies, soups, sandwiches/wraps, pasta... it’s an easy way to bump up the nutrition without significantly altering flavor. 🥬
Can confirm.. dry gulping preworkout is abhorrent 🥴 I normally mix my alani nu w 16 oz of water, but today I was running late and did the influencer shot. I about coughed up a lung.
Hi! I’d love to see you review either Sohla or Babish’s wieiad on Harpers bazar! I think the way chefs/people who have food as their job relate to food and diet culture is interesting and worth unpacking!
Interesting about the caffeine, I have type 1 diabetes and I have to inject insulin for coffee even if I drink it black with no sugar because the caffeine response does spike my blood sugar up out of the normal range. So it’s quite possible she’s experiencing this too.
Hi Abbey! I really enjoy your channel. Especially the reviews of popular TH-camrs “what I eat in a day”. I’m curious to know your thoughts on a few other channels. Can you review: Tabitha Brown Toni Mitchel Kezia Eniang Sisi Yemmie- especially children’s meals “lunches” Rachel Aust Julia Graf Downshiftology The Buff Dudes Thenx- Chris Heria Alexis Sparks Tish Wonders Liezl Jayne Mari Fitness Hanna Oberg Lena Lifts Melissa Merk Chanel Coco Brown Rainbow Plant Life Rachel Ama
Hi Abby love the video just wanted to ask if 15% of calories from protein is too low on a day? I calculated how much I should be having and I usually hit my protein goal of 50g but do you think it’s too little? I eat plant based.
amazing video! very informative. thank you for the tips on how i can improve my daily food intake :)
So glad it was helpful Azlia!!
I love seeing content creators communicating like this! Amazing 💛
Just don’t feel pressured to change. If you feel really healthy and energized by this food and have good digestion, etc., that’s a sign you’re doing it right.
Love Azlia!!
I love how you eat regular food! People sometimes have some top notch exclusive and expensive foods. Sometimes regular foods that you can find anywhere work too!
ahhh i’m nervous to watch this!
No need to be - you did great! Just need more veggies. :)
So nice to see someone with a healthy relationship with food doing WIEIAD videos!
I appreciate seeing a TH-camr eat “normal” food. Like sometimes you just want 2 sandwiches 🥪 😂 I’m all for that lol also that pasta looked so good!
Girl you have some serious metabolism going on :D If I would eat fatty sausage and that much food only 30min before workout- I would either feel sluggish or most likely puke it out during workout :)I can manage banana as preworkout. And can't imagine being without any fruit for breakfast :)

It would be super interesting if you reviewed the “glow up diaries” series that alivia d'andrea did. I watched it, and although it seems she is ultimately aiming for health, she has some extremely disordered thoughts and behaviours with food. I think series 2 will be different, but to me, series 1 was not great, it seemed to be promoting the toxic diet culture ideology and drawing a thin line between truth and very strange myths about nutrition.

I have a video about Remi on my channel: th-cam.com/video/WleBm4nXEtg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AbbeySharp and one about Alisha coming up!
@@AbbeysKitchen thank you!
I love long videos too !!! can spend the whole day listening to abbey :P
Thank you reviewing someone who eats like a normal person.
I'm putting "intuitive eating" on my Vision board.
😊👍
type one diabetic here - not saying this is for your day-to-day average joe, but caffeine actually can raise your blood sugars (depending on your hormones). For myself, I am most insulin resistant in the morning and my cortisol levels are at their highest. If I were to have caffeine and not adjust accordingly, my blood sugars shoot up very high (and usually hover for a few hours, even if I exercise).
From my knowledge, this is due to the fact that cortisol is found in the adrenal glands and secreted in response to stress which caffeine can activate that response.
Just a thought to add - just because it doesn’t have carbs, doesn’t mean it won’t raise your blood sugar!
ok, I was not expecting the cut to the Monty Python black knight sketch and legit nearly choked to death on my lunch (so dramatic :') )when it came up. It never fails to make me laugh!
finally someone that eats as much as me i’m 105 lb and only 5’2 😂 i just have a pretty fast metabolism lmao
😊👍
Girl switch metabolism w me 😭😭
OMGosh, tuna with guacamole would be amazing! I do that sometimes with tinned salmon. Egg salad made with guacamole is waaaaaaay yummier than mayo.
Agreed!
What do you think about the about of protein people consume? It always confuses me that a lot of people only focus on protein and consider just high protein = healthy.
I can put this on the list to discuss in a video
@@AbbeysKitchen yes pls! i get really confused on what to focus on
Protein is important to build muscle
It seems like she has a good deal of muscle mass and works in the gym on maintaining/increasing it-- extra protein is helpful for that.
@@heidih3048 yah, i also have heard that high protein meals is more satiating and leads to less hunger highs and lows throughout the day
Honestly the food is very accessible and similar to what I eat. No extra fuss for busy workers. I agree about adding fruit and veggies... The lunch would stay fuss free if she added a whole apple (no cutting) and baby carrots/celery sticks on the side (limited cutting), which is honestly what I eat most lunches w my sandwich. No extra time or energy spent and still relatively cost effective. :) and also add some chopped zucchini into the pasta. That pasta looked really good btw :)
Agreed!
Loved this. I also loved the length and simplicity. Thank you!
So glad you enjoy it! ❤️
If abby saw my diet she'd go into cardiac arrest. This morning I had leftover cheesecake and oreos for breakfast.
I would feel like crap in a few hours if I ate that.
I ate a pack of dry ramen and fudge brownie mix... 😬😬
😂
I had to 😂
If is not a daily thing I think is a good brekki:) You go girl:)
Why is me a 25 year old woman literally tearing up that 2 people I have enjoyed so much in one video . Azzy truly has helped me with her great habits especially at such a young age. Love to see you both thriving 💚💚💚
I'm so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Hey Abby! I hope you see this comment :D
As a student who is going to take a longer exam in 3 months (7 hour exam with 1 hour lunch-break and 15 min breaks), I would really find it interesting to get some general tips and snack ideas on what to eat to stay as alert as possible. This would be really helpful for students who are studying for exams etc. so that we can optimize our learning
Take care! :)
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll put this on the list to discuss 😊
Love love love her more relaxed approach to food.
Same!
Hello! Thanks for your videos 🥰 Love all reviews of what I eat in a days!
I’d like to see:
1) Gainsbybrains
2) Kalyn Nicholson
3) The hunger diaries
Thanks for the suggestions!
I love the long videos 🥺🥺🥺 but that’s just me and I’ll watch the video no matter how long 🤪🥳
Thanks for the feedback!
I’d love to see a video on Holly Madison’s what I eat in a day! It was very interesting..to say the least.
I'll have a look!
2 protein shakes a day :( reminded me of the slim fast diet
hi abbey! yeahh i appreciate this kind of video, short yet infomative💕
So glad they're helpful!
Love your videos! I know you work primarily with intuitive eating and would love to see more info on how to incorporate that into specific dietary restrictions! My parents both just got put on medicine for high cholesterol and high blood pressure and are looking to combat those through dietary changes, but are struggling with counting mgs!
Thank you for the suggestions!
The key to dry scooping pre workout is having a bit of water in your mouth before then pour the powder in and swish it all around then swallow😂 there’s a science to it
Love this new format. the length is perfect!
Thank you!
That Jim Carey clip was perfect! Haha spot on
😊👍
Abbey! Thank you for all you do! I am not sure if you would consider a video on diet and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome?
I was diagnosed fall of last year and boy let me say it is still just a lot. The core of it is having mast cells that overreact to a huge array of things, but diet is a big source! Triggers can vary person to person, but there is a huge focus on histamines; in MCAS your mast cells release histamines in extreme amounts in response to things that don’t cause that in regular bodies, such as stress, or even emotions. Many foods can be high in histamines so eating those foods adds more histamines can can cause debilitating effects as the release of histamines and other compounds from the mast cells triggers inflammation in the body as part of the immune response. In someone with MCAS this understandably leads to flare ups of extreme inflammation (I know this is often a buzzword in health communities). I am in the middle of a bad flare up, seeing my doctor after an upright MRI and CT scan of my neck with rotation we found I have quite a few severe abnormalities in my neck, especially stenosis of the central canal in my cervical spine. During the flares, my neck pain and chronic migraines get extreme. I lose control of my limbs, have searing burning pain throughout my body, have had everything neck down go numb, even having severe episodes of slurring my speech and completely forgetting where I am.. It’s something we are trying to seek treatment for. It’s a lot of things going on at once and these flare ups can be seemingly random but we are noticing a pattern of those episodes coinciding with my MCAS. It’s been a year and a half since the episodes like that started.. It’s been painful emotionally and physically, and honestly at times terrifying.
I apologize if that was too many details, but my point is, there is a very high lack of understanding or awareness in the medical field let alone general public of MCAS. Your channel has been extremely educational for me but as I’ve learned with time my body cannot tolerate the same things a typical body can, and it’s been difficult to learn through trial and error as there are a multitude of things that can be affecting my MCAS at any given time. I’ve had allergy testing through an asthma and allergist doctor, and reacted to 47 different foods, it’s a lot to say the least. I understand you aren’t necessarily a doctor that specializes in MCAS, but if you ever made a video giving an overview of it that would be amazing! It wouldn’t surprise me if many people in this community benefit from it as MCAS isn’t talked about in much media and could raise awareness and bring a better general understanding for people like me.
With all my heart again thank you for the amazing work you do, I truly enjoy your videos and your realistic approach to topics around health. I love the research and detail you go into on various topics on your channel and that you don’t buy into pseudoscience or ungrounded practices. Sending all my support and wishing you a successful year!
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you find my videos helpful. I'll have a look at that!
I really like her way of eating, it gave me an idea for my lunch tomorrow 😂
And I like the advice about adding food. It’s my new year resolution to have at least one serving of vegetables a day (so far it’s been at least two everyday) 😁
I'm glad it was helpful!
I like this approach to add tips at the end. Comes across as dietitian-like rather than negative
I'm glad that was helpful!
"something that i actually wanted to keep... Like a finger" ugh abbey u get me every time I love it 😂😂😂
😂😂
Recently discovered your channel and I’ve been enjoying this type of content so much. I’ve learned a ton and have had a much more neutral outlook on foods that are traditionally shamed in diet culture lately. I’d love to see reviews of Nikki Phillippi, Jenn Im, or/and Sam Ozkural. Thanks Abbey!
I'm so glad it's helpful 😊and thanks for the suggestions!
OoOo I actually have no clue who Azlia Williams is!!! Shocking cos I usually know who you review haha
I hope you enjoy it still!
I like to add a handful of greens in wherever I can (spinach, kale, collard, bok choy, etc)-into smoothies, soups, sandwiches/wraps, pasta... it’s an easy way to bump up the nutrition without significantly altering flavor. 🥬
Great idea!
Can confirm.. dry gulping preworkout is abhorrent 🥴 I normally mix my alani nu w 16 oz of water, but today I was running late and did the influencer shot. I about coughed up a lung.
Oh no!
i love how in this vid the one tip to add MORE fruit and veg, it’s so relieving to not have ANOTHER influencer eating 99% raw veggies
Agreed!
I love that you are honest about mum life eating 🤣 if I had time to eat that slowly, I'd use it to poop in peace instead!
😂👍
I just ordered two of those bonnets. LOL
Hi! I’d love to see you review either Sohla or Babish’s wieiad on Harpers bazar! I think the way chefs/people who have food as their job relate to food and diet culture is interesting and worth unpacking!
Both are on the list!
Thank you for introducing us to a girl who eats normally
Glad it was helpful 😊
I love the new editing with the little clips of internet memes and stuff
So glad!
Interesting about the caffeine, I have type 1 diabetes and I have to inject insulin for coffee even if I drink it black with no sugar because the caffeine response does spike my blood sugar up out of the normal range. So it’s quite possible she’s experiencing this too.
This was super refreshing to watch!
So glad!

Agreed!
OMG I LOVE AZI cant wait to watch! i was so happy when i saw her hahah! 🥰🥰
Hope you enjoy it!
Love your videos btw! You always make me smile💕
Thank you ❤️
Hi Abby love the video just wanted to ask if 15% of calories from protein is too low on a day? I calculated how much I should be having and I usually hit my protein goal of 50g but do you think it’s too little? I eat plant based.
Haha yesssss the Monty python cut - love that! 🤣
😂😂
Thanks for the vid! The meme's were a tad much, but your content is solid.
Thanks!
