a soft life approach to achieving a calorie deficit 

Great video =) I didn't see the Relationship with Food video linked in the description, could you add it or make a pinned comment? Very interested in getting into it finally.

“Cauliflower rice stir fry” from Trader Joe’s is amazinggggg. Throw it in a pan, crack some eggs in there, now you have egg fried rice. It’s low calorie, tastes good, and it’s already seasoned

thank you for this. i feel like ED mindset is so normalised especially going into the summer it's like everyone is talking about how to loose half your body weight in two weeks like 😭 especially coming from so called fitness amd health people, there's nothing healthy about that mindset

Easy way is to eat whole foods, eat at home and avoid processed foods. You would be surprised how much food you have to eat in order to overeat when you aren't eating junk.

There are so many factors that influence weight loss… some people (like me), literally have to be low carb to lose weight especially after my 30s. Carbs make me tired. Oatmeal doesn’t like me but I love oatmeal 😩. There’s also the issue of hormones especially for women. If you have insulin resistance, you will NOT lose weight even if you’re in a calorie deficit because your body will hold on to that weight. That’s a reason why a lot of people incorporate intermittent fasting. So I don’t believe that people who choose to cut a food group have a bad relationship with food. That’s simply not true across the board. I worked with a nutritionist and trainers and I followed their food plan to the T… my body does not like excess carbs… my coach was finally like let’s cut the carbs back and see… worked like a charm. Calories and calories out is no longer all that is required. Everyone is different… do your research on hormones and insulin resistance.

why do you always drop the exact video i need right when i need it 😭 we locked in frfr bestie!!! #75KClub☺️😜

I love water but adding a lemon, mint, frozen fruit, etc. Is an easy ass way to get those cups in if its an obstacle for you!

For me, what kills me is candy. I have an emotional-dependency relationship with it. I get bloated, I get tired quickly and retain liquids. But I use candy to feel better in the moments of emotional distress. I was 1 month ago trying to quite it, and it was hell. I was thinking about candy the whole day 😅. Now I know it s really an addiction , and I cannot have candy anytime, in any condition or at least not in my calorie deficit journey. I am still in my journey to figure out what is best for me, but at least I know myself better now. Great video, Bre. I always enjoy it.

The REALEST discussion/talk. Alcohol and Smoking and Weed. FOR REAL. Thank you chica ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The way I hollered at the “stop smoking that gas” 😂😂 I so had too stop, I’ve literally wrapped an egg roll in a pizza & fried it🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😂 Realizing for me that my emotional health and ADHD plays a huge part. I’m learning better coping skills to combat things. #75club

Thank you SO much, this came right on time! I've been maintaining and working out consistently for a year or so and now I'm trying to shed a few lbs to show my progress. Literally perfect timing!

as a shorty bestie myself (5'0 to be exact), I can honestly relate to the 10-15 extra pounds comment you made (also, idc for cooking either,,, I would rather be a princess and have someone cook me meals). im a vegetarian for ethical, moral, and personal (I have never liked the taste of meat for as long as I can remember) reasons for 6 years this July (or august), so it has been pretty difficult to make a healthy plate that fulfills a calorie deficit. not to sound as superior or anything bc everybody's different, I rarely have strong cravings and I don't go pass my intermittent fasting timing (it's a game changer. I would do a vice versa thing where I eat something heavy in the morning and something lighter in the afternoon/early evening,,, it just depends on my mood on such) and fast foods rarely sounds appealing to me, but ya know I would throw down for a bowl of pasta or a slice or two of the good good New York pizza from time to time! my relationship with food has been healing for these 6 years and I love listening to my body when she's full, hungry, or dehydrated (was drinking water during the water section of the ep).

When I was 15 I started tracking calories in an attempt to "lose some extra weight" since I was overweight at the time. Just taking note of what I ate turned into micromanaging everything and not giving myself proper nutrition. I thought it was fine since I wasn't skinny and only losing about 1kg a month. In my mind it wasn't dangerous, if it was i would've been sickly. Obviously, that's not true and by the time I was 16 I dropped 12kgs. For about another year I didn't change my eating habits at all, and my weight stayed stable despite not eating nearly enough. The solution in my mind back then was just to eat even less, but when I did that I actually started gaining weight back. In recent months I learned to focus on the nutritional benefits a food offers rather than the calories. I still track, it's a really hard habit to break but I switched my focus to macros rather than calories. I'm eating the amount of food my body needs now paired with workouts 3-4 times a week (rather than obsessively every day) and my weight is staying at a stable number while physically I'm thinner than I was when I was starving myself. Starving yourself doesn't make you lose weight, listening to your body and giving it what it needs with a gentler approach does.

How is suing about false advertisement weird? It sets a precedent that companies can’t just slap claims and titles without proper studies. It would be way worse if we let them do whatever we want. So I can’t help but disagree about the poppi lawsuit part even if poppi did actually benefit your gut. It should always be investigated before making claims.

Girllll when you started talking about needing to chill on the lettuce 😭😭 I really like to smoke and I’m only allowing myself to eat fruit with honey and it’s very satisfying for me.

This soft life approach mindset is what I need to stay consistent because I’ve come to the realization I will always reward myself to that Cinnabon 😂. You’re amazing girl! #75kclub

My new bestie Briaaa so grateful I found your channel. Light hearted after coming outta the depths of the spiritual side of weight gain. Thanks bestie 🧚‍♂️🫶

i do want to add that if you have autoimmune or genetic disease then you literally cannot process carbs properly. metabolic health is influenced by the mitochondria

First off- you look amazing!! Love your hair ❤ happy for some great tips on this Monday!! #75kclub 🎉

HAIR IS TEEEAAA!!😩

By far my favorite video on this subject! ❤ Real, to the point and logical AF! 😂 And totally with you on the traveling to Europe and coming back to realize how many chemicals you can taste and over portioning we do here in the US. 👀

I find I have to slow everything internal in my life down and create more social obligations to quicken the external to help me slow my mind to get rid of most of my cravings that hit during the first and second parts of my day if that makes sense. Once I do this I just have to remember to eat mostly healthy mid to late evening and I'm good with feeling stable in my diet.

#75KClub… rooting for you bestie! Soft life fitness: make sure my plate looks like a rainbow. If I have all the colors, and not too much of one color (ahem.. brown) then I know I am gucci! Gut feels good, I feel good, and we keep it pushing.

I make my iced chai at home. Bigelow vanilla chai teabag, 1 tsp. whole milk, 1 tsp. Truvia sweetener, and then pour it over ice.

#75Kclub! I’d be so curious what you think about “the glucose goddess” and “glucose revolution” because you are discovering and talking about a LOT of science that’s in those books. PS I am on that same journey and no longer count calories.

Commenting cause I recently found the Briaverse everywhere on social media and I just can’t stop

i LOVE poppi! olipop and culture pop, liquid death as well. it’s helped SO much with my soda addiction.

This video is packed with excellent info + advice!!! ❤

wait i’m so glad i found ur podcast you’re so good

The video I desperately needed 💕 thanks Briaaaa

Hey, Bestie B! Just a question. You mentioned that hunger could be mistaken as dehydration. Don’t you mean the opposite, that is dehydration being mistaken for hunger? A lot of times, when we actually need water, we end up mistaking that to be hunger pangs and snack. Let me know if what I interpreted was wrong!

I’ve lost 15kgs in 11 weeks by fasting OMAD, and 800 calories and staying under 50g carbs. I’ve healed my acid reflux issue, and a lot of benefits have come with dropping the weight, but man… I miss a bowl of rice sometimes

When you said “oils and butters” I literally gulped

Yeaaeah! first to comment representing the #75kclub 😎🎉💜 love you big sis B! Can't wait for you to drop some good wisdom on me😊

I love you girlie ❤ your content speaks to me always

Oh I can’t WAIT to watch this later! 🙌🏾 I adore your videosssss!

#75kclub thank you Bria! ❤️👑

Love your channel! So helpful as summer comes and I don't love my body

7:16 if you have ADHD this advice is not for you. Our brains literally do not want us to drink water. So any hydration is better than no hydration. If you need stuff to have a flavour to be able to drink enough - do that! (I like to use low call flavour syrups for water! Game changer, i drink so much now)

double stuffed oreos!! lol too good

Good morning Bestie B ❤️watching this from my walking pad, let’s get into it! 💪🏽 #75kClub 🎉

Tip for the peeps that like the devils lettuce lol, lean more on sativa or hybrids, those give less munchies

hahahaha the double stuffed oreos 🤠 love your podcast i could listen to ramble about anything for hours 🤍

75k club checking in!! currently on a weight loss journey (day 64 of 75Hard) so this is right on time for me😊 Looking to shed more back rolls. Thank you!

really love this perspective. #75kclub by the way

I LOVE THIS! THANK YOU!

I’m a 75k bestie! Love your videos they’re so helpful ❤️❤️❤️

I lost a lot on keto but gained it back as soon as I started bringing them back

75K ☑️

Thanks!

Found you today. Loving your videos.

I love your advice❤thank you so much

"I'll come home and need Taco Bell." GIRL, this is facts! I'm crying from laughter and from the pain of the need for Taco Bell after a night out. Hahaha. Love your gentle and relatable approach! PS, the comment about the ganga girlies... I definitely am one of those girlies, but I don't have an issue with munchies because what I do is just wait to smoke until right before dinner or my actual meal that I was already planning on having. I very rarely overindulge from a smoke sesh, but from a night out, ABSOLUTELY. But I mean, that's just me. The rest of the tips are definitely things I will be implementing!

I’m about a month into my caloric deficit and doing real well. But the multiple mentions of double-stuffed Oreos is about to make me slip up! 😭

Just found your channel this weekend, and I’m subscribing just because you’re also a Dallas girlie♥️

OKAYYY protective stylesss 😍😍😍😍

Wonderful podcast

New here !! Loved this vid

#75kclub ❤🎉 Love you, Bestie B!

You’re always posting content RIGHT WHEN I NEED IT 🫶🏾

I just came off a 2 week fruit fast for a reset and am doing at least 3 wks of keto before going on a more balanced plan and the babe literally told me a few hrs ago not to lose my shit counting carbs and calories 🤣🤣🤣 Keto is def not mean to be a lifestyle, for me, it helps to get back on track quickly and get the ball started on weight lose (goal is 15lbs). But without understanding how good works with YOUR body, ure setting ureself up for failure.

Genuinely great advice!!! Probably gonna take a T break because of this 😅

#75KClub is here giiiiirl

I’m sorry but not drinking water is like refusing to use the bathroom and just shiting your pants 😂

It’s the gas for me 😂😂😂😂😂

Keto is not supposed to be long term. It’s just something to start you off on your weight loss journey.

Hello Beautiful ☺️ 75kclub here #75kclub

Hey! i love love your content and heard you talking about starbucks and coke zero, just wanted to make u aware that those companies heavily support the genocide in palestine so please boycott!! thank u sm

Girl you look like Camilla Cabello

Everything is true girl but thats not the reason they wanna ban tiktok bffr 💀

The way you knew about olipops law suit but casually mentioned Starbucks and ignored the real reason they wanna ban tiktok (pro Palestine content was getting too hard to control, they even admitted to it). Girl I'm a true Bria Stan fan but I'm honestly super sad you're not educated 8+ months into the g-cide. Please do better💞

editing is boring..

#75KClub girly! Saturday I started with your fear of rejection video and it inspired me to also share f ups with my LinkedIn following
