Italian here 💁‍♀️ usually we eat pasta at every lunch ( pasta with veggies like pasta with broccoli is a staple of the Mediterranean diet) and we eat pizza once a week ( usually Friday night ). Oh and we eat a whole pizza per person! Well Italian traditional pizza is really Not like American pizza. We use whole wheat flour, fresh tomato sauce ( no sugar added!) and REAL mozzarella ( made with only milk, rennet and salt)

@daniellerodgers6493 3 года назад

@Chiara_-dg9yp 3 года назад

I lived in New York for two years and missed the food so bad ahah when I first arrived in the US I was shocked at the fact that it’s considered normal to get take out even several nights per week. I live in a small village in Italy and we don’t have any take out restaurants here. The only form of take out available to me is my grandma who lives next to me: On I busy day I ask her if she can cook something nice for me for dinner and when I come home from work I go and grab my “ grandma take out” 😅😂

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Sounds great!

@TheMagdalenaBB 3 года назад

Isn't it also a nice thin crust pizza? That is what I ate when I went to Italy. Yum.

@SamElle 3 года назад

thank you for talking about mental restriction!!! This was a concept I had to really understand in order to intuitive eat. I wasn't physically restricting but my mindset was still not there!!

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

I'm glad that was helpful!

@user-iw9qk5oe3i 3 года назад

Same here!!!

@EdenGold 3 года назад

I completely agree! Mental and Physical restriction can play a HUGE role in intuitive eating!! I just uploaded a video about restricting foods, where I cover mental and physical consequences of restricting, and I think you might really enjoy it! Would love to connect beautiful!

@stefsmith895 3 года назад

I love you Abbey but as an American living in France for the past 6 years, France is definitely not a shinning example of a country we should look to for balanced eating😅😅😅.Eating disorders among young women are rampant here, especially here in Paris, and there is the pressure to constantly look skinny/ underweight. I’ve never felt more self -conscious of my weight and body image than when I moved to France. Once you get out of Paris, attitudes towards weight and balanced eating generally seem to get better, but it’s still a huge problem here.

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Oh no. Thank you for the intel

@clarekocheri4571 3 года назад

So glad you said this. I have spent time in several European countries and noticed that almost all young women from big cities (Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Athens) seem to ferociously restrict their food in order to maintain a small body size. As someone who had read and believed 'French Women Don't Get Fat' in my early twenties, I was taken aback to realize that they don't get fat because they hardly eat anything. Only now, looking back, do I realize that book also incorporated a lot of diet culture (encouraging liquid fasts to 'reset' your weight loss, avoiding snacks, etc.).

@guvibration1182 3 года назад

Same from Asia culture, I felt “bad” not be able to find a size for me when shopping clothes during my visit. Once I moved back, it is all fine....

@fanny.barrier 3 года назад

Paris is not all of France, it isn't representative of our country. It is the capital of fashion so of course people are badly influenced . But I think there are Eds everywhere of course

@littleviolaine 3 года назад

This is very important and not just Paris or big towns. I'm French (from a small town in the south) but I live in the UK and whenever I go home to see my family my eating habits and my confidence almost instantly get so much worse. There's a lot more pressure to look a certain way. Incidentally in the past few years I've gained quite a lot of weight (due to a chronic illness) and I keep getting comments like 'oh well you're becoming one of them aren't you' as if my identity as a French woman ultimately HAS to be tied in with being thin and me getting bigger means that i'm getting less French. This is something I'm battling with on the daily so i'm glad to see people discussing it here!

@jatvirginmega 3 года назад

This content is great, Abbey. It's so important to understand what is going on mentally and physically because society today really adds in so much complexity when it comes to how, what, when, why you eat your food! Intuitive eating sounds so simple, eat when you want/when you're hungry, and stop when you're full but when there are so many other variables coming in, how do you decipher when you are satiated? It takes so much practice!

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing. So glad it is helpful!

@lexicalgap5191 3 года назад

I've found taking pauses during meals to check in with myself and experimenting with portions (how they affect me over the day) really helped me become in tune with my fullness cues.

@tulliamarie6137 2 года назад

This is old, but I’m practicing this so I want to comment! I keep an eye on my thoughts while I’m eating and I wait until I start to think ‘I’m not hungry, but I could eat more!’ And then I know that the thought ‘that was great! I’m fullish but I could fit in a few bites of dessert!’ Is coming down the line! Then I stop when I get to that feeling!

@mauishopgirll 2 года назад

For many, learning about nutrition is so intertwined with the effort to lose weight. It takes a shift in perspective to learn about foods and nutrition for the joy and appreciation of food. Nutrition learning can include notes on taste, culture and interesting preparation or menus. Thank you so much for your videos Abbey. I’m a lifetime WWer from my 30s (now in my 50s) and I’m not keen on counting for the rest of my life anymore. I appreciate you!

@natalyakozlova2926 3 года назад

This channel has been so uplifting for me. I’ve naturally been an intuitive eater but everything I’ve been thought told me to have rules and structure with my food. I’ve been doing everything you’ve been teaching and feel an enormous positive change in my relationship with food.

@MarinaDelMar8 Год назад

Abbey, you shed light in world of mixed messages. Mental restriction is STRESSFUL and stress plays a huge huge huge role in our wellbeing. Viewing food as a pleasurable experience is key. There is also something to be said about practicing gratitude. Personally, I haven’t been working as much and therefore have had to cut back on my grocery spending. While I find myself feeling limited, I definitely notice the influence of a simple prayer when I am eating that “I am grateful for what I am able provide for myself.” It helps shift my mindset - from oh god I wish I could’ve afforded avocados this week as this meal would’ve been more nutritious to what I have in front of me is a glorious privilege and my body thanks me for making the time to make xyz. Our thoughts are important.

@mariathielen7581 3 года назад

I'm actually relieved to watch your videos! For a while, while being introduced to intuitive eating, I kind of through nutrition out the window or put it on a hold so I could focus on recovering from diet-like thoughts. I'm now pretty sure recovered, and I really want to focus on gentle nutrition. I think I am craving more nutrients, just not sure how to incorporate that into my diet because I know very little about nutrition. Your videos have been very helpful! Thank you!

@lauraramosdelgado 3 года назад

I LOVED THIS SERIES. I have been on a quest to eat intuitively for the past four months and one thing is clear for me: ITS NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS BUT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. I appreciate your knowledge and the time and effort you put in the videos you share with your audience.

I really appreciated running across this video. I’ll have to find your others that are similar. I’m facing the probability of WLS. I decided to look into intuitive eating to help solve my emotional issues with food, and possibly or hopefully avoid the surgery. The way you explained things is super helpful as I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed.

@ruddyannsierra482 3 года назад

This video has so much helpful info. I got trapped in diet culture and even though I haven’t dived in completely into the intuitive eating series or read anything officially this one is definitely a great one and helpful. Thanks for all the good info and food inspiration. Food is meant to be enjoyable and not a chore, this definitely resonates with me a lot.

I'm a complete veg lover so finally getting to the point of true intuitive eating, eating all the veg I want but also understanding queues of wanting proteins and what type (red meat vs fish) has allowed me to balance out to a weight that doesn't change, I have no idea how much I weight but my clothes don't change in how they feel on me, hitting peak intuitive eating that gets me the nutrients my body wants has been amazing.

@taylorb4014 2 года назад

Dear Abbey, you changed my life. I love you. Bless you.

@bellis7772 3 года назад

I have a little happy tear in the corner of my eye right now. This philosophy around food has changed my life in such a profound way. I remember the first time I heard someone talk like this: it blew my mind! All of the diet talk which was so engrained in my way of thinking just went: "Say what???". It is actually kind of scary that it blew my mind to be kind towards myself and my body in regards to food, but like you say, Abbey, society teaches us otherwise. I am so greatful that this intuitive voice exists today and is growing. So it is a bit emotional for me to watch this last episode of the intuitive eating series. A full circle-feeling. I am grateful that you made it - I think you´ve communicated really well what is in the book.

I discovered Intuitive Eating via these videos, and am working through the The Intuitive Eating Workbook. It’s absolutely AMAZING. The first weight to come off is the huge one off your shoulders! Freedom to choose and learning to trust myself is really changing my confidence at the same time. Bonus. I’m naturally choosing much more nutritious food, creating more interesting tasty meals, and drinking less wine because I just don’t want it the same. Asking myself ‘what do I really want to eat right now?’ is a game changer.

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Glad that is working for you!

@hannahpick3615 3 года назад

the first thing you said was so helpful. I was just about to eat a whole packet of chocolate bars, after just having one. your video came on and I said to myself 'I can have a bar tomorrow', and now I don't feel like I want another one. THANKS SO MUCH!!

@jbop3046 3 года назад

That was incredibly helpful. I’ve been trying to do intuitive eating for a while now, but I could never figure out how to do the nutrition part. I realized while watching your videos that I am giving myself permission to eat junk food, but I have been holding on to my diet mentality when it comes to vegetables. For example, steaming my vegetables (yuck) instead of roasting them with olive oil, salt, and pepper (yum) because I was afraid of the olive oil and salt. I really like vegetables, but I need them to be seasoned appropriately. Thank you!

@bendingbananas6540 3 года назад

i live in nyc and honestly i really hate how deeply imbedded in our culture the constant rush to get work done is. It leaves very little room/space to actually enjoy meals when in school! I gotta eat breakfast fast in the morning which i barely get through since i gotta get to class. I have to rush through my lunch since i gotta get to class. There are no snack breaks in between since we have a strict rule of no eating in class. My least favorite part in all this aside from the fact that im hungry throughout the day is that ive crammed all my eating into a specific window of time during the day which is in the afternoon, afterschool. Not only do i sort of feel like crap pigging out so late during the day but i've also noticed I end up eating so much more than needed! I wish schools dedicated a bit more time for us to eat during lunch. Not necessarily so we can eat even more but mainly so that i can at least eat in peace dammit

After doing this for the last week or so, I feel so much better and am actually not stressed out on what to eat and surprisingly, I’m eating pretty healthy. And, I don’t seem to have cravings like before. I just purchased you’re recommended book on “Intuitive Eating.” Thanks again, Abbey!

I did Slimming World for about 18 months, lost 12kg but then began getting fed up at the level of restriction required. I found myself restricting and then binging at the weekends when I knew I had a few days left to try and "lose the weight" before my next weigh in. I eventually came to the conclusion that this was no way to live after watching some of your videos. I left Slimming World over the summer and started intuitive eating, and so far have maintained my weight rather than put any on. I have also found myself eating much healthier and varied meals as now I don't go into the supermarket and think "that's banned!!". For example for breakfast this morning I ate some Skyr yoghurt with muesli and added flaked almonds. That would have been impossible to eat on Slimming World as the high fat content of the almonds and sugar in the muesli and yoghurt would have put me over my "syns" for that entire day. I have been feeling much more satisfied with my meals and like I am not just eating the same things over and over again. Thanks for making these videos.

True true, when I did the Dukan Diet, by day 3 I was completely craving a salad, I'd have eaten it dry just to get the basic lettuce, tomato and cucumber! Now, I totally enjoy my huge bowl of "My Salad". Some romaine lettuce, those delicious little yellow tomatoes, English Cucumber, now I add some hemp hearts, I still use my favorite Southwestern Chipotle Dressing, but I use 1/2 the serving size and then thicken it with plain Greek yogurt, love the tang the Greek yogurt adds and the protein. And, I sometimes eat some Oreos afterwards, just because I want to and it makes my day seem complete and it satisfies my rare sugar or chocolate cravings. Sometimes I just want peanut butter and celery. I don't care about calories, I do care about how well I'm balancing protein, carbs and fats, but I also must enjoy my meal as I'm paying for, prepping and preparing it. Thanks for the video. Again, I'm playing catch up but feel that you should get kudos for your hard work!

But the i heard your voice in my head saying that I should pair it with some veggies and make it more nutriente dence. Now days i´m always thinking on how I can get the most nutritious meal and not a perfect and "clean" meal. You truly change my perspective of eating.

re eating food that's always "free of something" that made it taste good to begin with - this reminded me of one of smittenkitchen's blog posts, where she said that she doesn't pride or promote her recipes based on them lacking things in general, which is such a great way to look at food (unless you have intolerances/allergies etc).

@GossipGurlGurly 3 года назад

Hey Abbey! Love this. I remember Natacha Oceane made a video about this topic, and she had a great explanation: keep healthy foods around the house, that way if you have a craving, you have the option between doritos OR carrots and celery OR heathy homemade granola bars. Then, if you DECIDE to eat the doritos, that's ok bc you're eating intuitively, but more often than not you'll opt for the healthy choice!

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Exactly!

@EdenGold 3 года назад

I LOVE natacha oceane! This is great advice, and I am planning on making a play off of this video on my channel as well since it seems to be so helpful for others! Would love to hear your thoughts on some of the videos that I post that are of similar topics! Sending you love

@beckyjoy2 3 года назад

Abbey, thank you so much for creating this thoughtful, thorough, easy to digest video series. For me, it was just the push I needed to get more comfortable with the nuances of intuitive eating and pick up the book to learn more. Your approach to it all is much more balanced than I what I've heard in the past and I just think it will be so valuable for so many people! What if any other books and resources do you recommend as next steps after the Intuitive eating book?

I've gained 55 pounds since intuitive eating and was already considered overweight. I still like intuitive eating but some "rules" (I think of them as routines or traditions) are important for helping my body know when I'm hungry and what makes me feel good. A certain amount of rules are intuitive to me. I think of them as grandma rules. Like not to spoil my dinner, to eat my vegetables with every meal, but also to have a nice dessert every day. These things are helping me regulate my eating patterns in a way that actually works for my life.

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Glad that's working for you

@user-iw9qk5oe3i 3 года назад

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have been struggling for so long to figure out a sustainable way of eating. Because of an autoimmune condition, I thought the only way to ever see any changes was to live my life saying, “I’m sorry, I’m gluten free, soy free, grain free, sugar free, bean and legume free, and oh yes, I can’t eat that cheese or dollop of sour cream either because I’m dairy free too.” I have been told to lose weight I need to only eat lean meats and limit my avocado, and never ever eat peanut butter or ice cream. And i felt like a bad person if I saw skittles in the store and wanted them. This created a really bad mental situation. I was anxious about food, jealous when I’d see someone add cream to their coffee, and sad about missing dessert. I’d often skip meals because I was so afraid everything I ate would just hurt me, and this led to unbalanced blood sugar, and binging. I would eat the bowl of ice cream so fast because then I couldn’t feel guilty about eating It. Or if I quickly at the candy, It was like It never happened. And I would obsess over food. (Phew...what a mess hahah) The past couple of months I’ve been working on doing all of the things you suggest. And It completely and totally works!! Although I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream, and lots of cheese, and even too much candy, gradually I’m seeing a shift in the things I actually want to eat. Turns out, my body knows when It needs more veggies and protein. I have three things of ice cream still in my freezer, and haven’t touched It for a couple of days- not because I’ve been restricting myself, but I just haven’t wanted It!😱 I’ve noticed the biggest help with my gut issues is by eating everything slow and concentrating on eating. It’s been so enjoyable! I feel like I’m finally on my way to feeling better about food mentally, and my body seems to be responding better as well. Thanks for putting out this quality content. It has helped my more than you’ll ever know. 💕💕💕

As someone with pre-diabetes and ibs, I actually have found myself feeling guilty for not always eating “intuitively.” I’ve spent so much of my life trying to do right and intuitive eating seems to be the new “good.” So, I’m trying to stay away from labels for myself. Thankful, I have been able to come to piece with the fact that I can do what works best for managing my ibs, preventing my pre-d from progressing, and maintain some food flexibility/enjoyment regardless of what the latest nutrition trend is.

@Haley_Wozniak 3 года назад

Thanks for this. So many of the big voices in the intuitive eating sphere heavily emphasize eat just what sounds good and don't talk about gentle nutrition at all. It's a shame that it's now controversial to talk about basic nutrition without being labeled as diet culture or fatphobic.

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

For sure. Glad it was helpful

@elisadelpino5159 3 года назад

This video comes completely in sync with my process with my diet right now, I am working in understanding that I'm not restricting, I am giving my body the right food in healthy amounts. Do I binge and snack unhealthy junk? Obviously, but less frequently than before.

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Love this video! I'd love your perspective on people who never stop craving constantly eating high calorie highly processed foods even until they get to a weight that makes them housebound 😮

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a similar video on my channel you might find interesting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pD46DFc1j4A.html&ab_channel=AbbeySharp

@EdenGold 3 года назад

Your taste buds change/adapt to new food palates about every 2 weeks. By finding ways to slowly incorporate more nutritious foods into your diet, you will slowly start to find that your cravings for those more processed foods go away! Cravings can also come from deficiencies, so that could be something to look into as well. Hope this helps!

The newest edition (4th edition) of Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch just came out a few days ago for anyone interested in reading after watching this series! Seems like it has a slightly larger social justice focus (especially weight stigma) which is awesome!!

@Ali-kf5bd 2 года назад

I got down to my goal weight through strict calorie and macro counting and now I feel myself becoming almost dysmorphic and obsessed with perfection to the point that it's hurting me mentally and making me binge whenever I do "cheat" even worse than I did when I was fat. It's at the point where at every holiday event I feel so full and sick I can't enjoy myself... so I'm trying to make the transition to intuitive eating... but it's SO scary. I just don't trust myself and I'm scared I'll just go right from having nice toned abs to becoming obese again or that I won't eat enough protein and my new muscles will just wither away. I am really trying hard to get a relationship with food that I don't have to feel scared or ashamed of.

@melindaroop1346 Год назад

You arent alone...I have been there! I lost 90 pounds and became obsessed with perfection...then became a fighter and it got worse 😰. I left all of that behind after the birth of my youngest child. Now I eat very balanced and exercise at least 5 days a week and while I don't look as lean as I did back then...I enjoy my food and exercise more.

@vabl894 3 года назад

I'm still watching so you may address this. But I love the principles behind intuitive eating but I find it very difficult to believe that we can restore our intuition around food (without some level of structure) in our current food environment....highly processed and palatable foods in excess everywhere, for low cost (at least in higher income countries- USA, Canada, Australia etc). And for kids, even without restriction in their homes, many do not actually stop eating when they're full or meet their nutrition needs. We do have really unhealthy and obese children. I know the word "obese" is frowned upon in many schools of thoughts but Im not sure what else to call it. And kids are targeted and manipulated by fast food sharks in terms of advertising, so that has to change some of their psychology and decision making.... making it hard for their intuition to guide them. A side note- I don't think diets help or are effective, the research shows this clearly. But yea, I just find parts of IE difficult to buy into. And its hard to marry IE with your nutrition advice in your videos....because some of that advice isn't people's intuition.

@VictoriaHealing 3 года назад

Yes I agree and am curious what others have to say about this. Someone else in the comments asked something similar about if the body really knows what it needs since obesity is so prevalent. I know there are a lot of thoughts on that last part, but I think it plays into this because I feel like our body, tastebuds, and minds have been hijacked by these companies and the hyper palatable "foods" (Can you really call something that is all chemicals food?)

@luiysia 3 года назад

unfortunately intuitive eating is an individual philosophy that can't, on its own, address many of the structural problems around food that exist. for instance, IE talks about eliminating the scarcity mentality and embracing abundance and variety, but people who lack access to a healthy variety of food and/or the space and time to prepare it, cannot do that in a meaningful way. additionally yes older children who have begun to be affected by manipulative marketing and diet messaging should be gently guided to foods and hopefully you can incorporate fast food into their diet landscape in a healthy way.

@ComplicatedSimplicite 3 года назад

I had a similar and yet different approach to this. I have been intuitive eating for some time now and gained weight as well but am now losing it back and feeling a lot better and happier, however I use to eat intuitive all the time and I ate garbage mostly and felt like crap. That is what got me into health to begin with and I was not going to go back to that. So I approached it with only eating actual real foods free of artificial ingredients. Many people might say that’s restriction but I wasn’t doing it to loose weight or because I feared it. I know it’s not going to kill me I use to live on these foods. I did it because I don’t want to feel bad and these foods literally kill my energy and make me feel horrible. And I don’t say I can’t have these foods I just never want them and I don’t view them as food. I am not dogmatic about it like if I am at a party and they have cake made with artificially colored icing. If I want a slice I will have one but it’s rare. Another thing I did was keep my home stocked with a lot of fresh foods. I have my indulgences as well but I keep those on a higher shelf to encourage my children to make healthier choices. This approach may not work for everyone if you are suffering with a sever eating disorder but it’s effective for me! I hope this helps😊

@marg200039 3 года назад

A Sauntering Life I honestly think that’s the way to go. Intuitive eating only really works (in maintaining a health body) when we allow unrestricted access to WHOLE foods. Of course processed foods are delicious and shouldn’t be viewed as completely off limits for a healthy mind, BUT I think approaching processed foods with a clear idea of the nutrition behind it is appropriate. That way it can inform your decision making since you should be practicing gentle nutrition as a principle of intuitive eating, but also allowing yourself a cookie because you want to enjoy it.

@vabl894 3 года назад

@@marg200039 Something else I was thinking about is so many people who seem to do well with intuitive eating have lots of nutrition knowledge anyway (not everyone I know). But either they are a nutritionist, dietician, spent years dieting, counting calories, counting macros, etc...so they have some nutrition knowledge behind them. I guess that's where the gentle nutrition part comes in with IE (for people who need the nutrition education) but maybe it should come sooner in the process. Also, so many health problems impact hormones like leptin and ghrelin....so listening to hunger and fullness cues becomes quite tricky🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Also, people with anxiety, depression and trauma will likely have some issue tuning into their body's cues, and learning to do this could take years. Ive seen people saying to others basically you aren't doing IE correctly or it would work. Whereas that's just as shaming as blaming a person for their failed diet. Im studying nutrition now and have worked as a therapist for 13 years and the fact is IE isn't a good approach for lots of people. But also a great approach for others! Thanks for sharing your experiences 🙂 x

I don't have these thoughts and I still binge. I have done everything I can to normalize my relationship with food and I still can't stop binging.

@EdenGold 3 года назад

I have some videos that I've just uploaded within the past couple of weeks that you might find helpful in taking steps moving forward

@jessicamadrigal9247 2 года назад

Not so long ago I ate a cinnamon bun and it actually gave me hives. Eating fast food ( especially little Caesar’s pizza) makes me feel mentally and physically sick. I often wonder if I have fear foods or not since I don’t fear of gaining weight ( because eating ONE cupcake won’t make you gain weight) but rather fear of feeling sick again. However, I still feel emotionally neutral when eating and sometimes I never get full when eating despite eating so much. I need help and watching your videos are helping so much!

@Metta1919 3 года назад

I really liked this video! I think the cultural differences when it comes to food are really interesting. Where I live, for example (Europe), lunch is the big meal of the day and then we have dinner around 8 pm or 9 pm, and it's usually something smaller.But I think a lot of American (or western in general) trends are coming here due to social media and stuff.

@AbbeysKitchen 3 года назад

Interesting!

@bendingbananas6540 3 года назад

idk if this is just a personal preference or something ive developed after years of food and diet culture obsesssion but ive actually grown to really like some of the "healthy" food! im specifically talking about plant based vegan food! When the general public hear vegan they tend to think about people eating nothing but grass and plants. I mean, they're not wrong. But they don't seem to realize the great variety of plants they're missing out on! Anyways, point is, im still a food junky but there are some healthy foods out there i genuinely enjoy feasting on!

@Shadow-tv2ff 3 года назад

When I'm alone I don't even feel like cooking and I don't even have breakfast and have a big lunch at 5-7 pm then I regret it because I feel so bloated. When I'm with family and I'm cooking it makes me less anxious and I don't eat as much as when I'm eating by myself. I even try cooking healthy foods.
