This is so valid!! Watching the way you eat from a young age, while a good thing that you're learning to monitor your intake, a lot of us aren't taught how to do it correctly so we end up stressing over it and that takes the fun out of both cooking and eating in general! I really love your videos and voice, and they inspire me to learn how to bake from scratch :))❤️
@@dameslayer 🧍babe. touch grass. No one said anything about the lgbt community, things can be valid aside from that you know? If you'd touch a dictionary, I'm sure you'd know.
@@stardust.7507 I read dictionary’s for a living. My favorite book is CRC handbook of chemistry and physics 92nd edition from 2011-2012. Why would you use such weird language like ‘this is so valid!!’ Valid means acceptable according to some dictionaries I own.
I’m so glad I grew up with my mum’s philosophy on food: Nothing is good for you if it’s the only thing you eat, but nothing is bad for you as long as you eat lots of different types of food. Don’t eat until you’re over-full, but don’t stop eating until you’re full. It was just a really balanced view free from body shaming, and it’s been the foundation of my relationship with food in adulthood. It serves as a reminder to maybe mix it up after eating ramen three days in a row, but it doesn’t make me feel guilty about the act of eating.
@@Pimpjit85So true! The best thing I did for my health is to eat whole, unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Diary of a CEO did a great interview with Chris van Tulleken a few weeks ago that really explained why this is so important. I’ve known for quite some time that it’s best to avoid processed foods, but this interview took it to a new level of understanding.
looking at foods like a maths equation-honestly i relate to that so much! through cooking and learning new recipes i’ve learned to appreciate and fill my body with what it deserves 💕
I absolutely loved this video! This was EXACTLY me with baking. Not anymore. I’ve continued to bake and eat my baked goods in moderation and have never been happier 😊
I love baking so much, but I'm sad I never get to eat any of it in fear of gaining weight and not being good enough for that reason, i really hope that one day I'll get to eat something i bake and not feel so so guilty when I do:D
Eating food that brings you joy will help you live longer than restricting and thinking about food all the time will. Your body wants the process of baking, and that means it wants to both eat AND share. Please eat what you bake, you will bake better things and enjoy yourself more :)
one of the reasons i stopped home baking is because i was afraid i was gaining weight. i baked because i loved creating, making something out of nothing, i loved the end result, i love how it consumed my mind from many unwanted things. but i lost it all just because i started getting scared of what i was creating. i know it doesn’t sound bad but to me it took the joy out of many mundane little things.
What a coincidence to see a open INFP after watching MBTI videos 👀. -INTJ I kind of stopped baking too but I love the art behind it. It brings up a lot of nostalgia but the time and tedious resources for so many of the desserts I love is so time consuming. I was scared of gaining weight as well despite having a major sweet tooth. I've been cooking more than baking because I love the experimentation instead of the tedious measurements to get the right results
@@Star_Scoot regard to being an open infp, being anonymous helps i guess😅 also baking use to bring so much joy. i loved feeding my younger cousins, relatives etc. But Cooking has taken that space now for me. specially finding tasty and healthy recipes and i love experimenting with them. haven’t baked in years but i love watching baking videos it’s so calming to me.
I can 100% relate! I stopped for the same reason. Weight gain used to be considered the highest standard because it meant you had food to eat. Now there is so much abundance & waste & a very toxic culture defining what beauty is & how it is what defines your self worth that we starve ourselves & are afraid to eat because of the size of our clothing or the number on the scale instead of allowing our bodies to be where they want to be when we eat healthy (I mean portion sizes too, not just the types of foods we are putting into our bodies) even if it means being curvyer. We need to focus on giving our bodies what it needs instead of trying to fit into a mold most bodies were never made to fit in. I'm so tired of being afraid to eat & feeling judged by my food too, not just the people around me. I just want to enjoy creating delicious food again & actually enjoy eating.
I was pretty good at drawing. Sadly I stopped when I was 15 due to depression. Now I'm 20, I regret about it everyday. Have not yet found new hobby but life keeps moving on. Wish me luck🌟🌻
I was in the exact same boat and I’m 20 as well and am just now trying to get back at it. You haven’t lost it forever, artistic abilities lie dormant within everyone. You just have to find a way to incorporate it into your time every other day and find your style again. I’m still searching for my style but my art has transformed from on paper to tattooing because I found a medium I love now as an adult. Find something beautiful that ignites your passion again or go back to what used to. We are still so young and we have until we die to make as many pieces as we can. Express yourself, you have your entire life to do so.
Don't worry. You stopped because your mind has lost interest in that very thing you enjoy. That's the reality of depression that some who've never experienced it Don't get. It's like dying slowly and painfully and watching life pass you by without caring much of it. But once you come off of it, you realize how much you miss doing those things you've forgotten. And it can apply to everything else. Glad to know you're back on track. Art is my favorite thing as well.
It makes me so sad that food, something we need to survive and can bring us so much comfort and joy, becomes this scary, complicated thing for so many of us.
@@sarahbasto6520 I am a foreign speaker and I understand the Australian accent. Actually, this is my favourite English accent because people tend to have a very good and clear diction.
As a starved, malnourished kid back then, I'm glad you didn't have the same experience as I had. 😕 *Now I can say that I do take better care of myself than my folks did. I am now chubby cause I swore back then that when I grow up, I'll feed myself everything that my parents didn't feed me with.
Baking for my partner is what helped me get back into baking. I used to get shamed for what I baked and ate so I stopped trying (and eating properly). My girlfriend loves eating what I make so it encouraged me to do it more and now I’m going to college to learn it professionally. Don’t give up because of something in your mind telling you you can’t, the mind has a way of breaking you down until you have nothing. Do what makes you happy and find a way around your fear. If you can’t eat it find someone who’s love to and trust me it’ll help.
This is interesting, when you brought up how it helped you get over “fear” and looking at food as a math equation got me thinking of my own similar experiences. Reigniting my interest in cooking for other people helped me in recovery. As a person who lives far away from proper treatment, I had to do it almost by myself, cooking helped me so much. I actually have no clue if this exists but cooking classes should really be apart of Ed recovery programs everywhere.
@@NassiLove yeah I've never really do exercise regularly and never really get fat. Rice everyday, sometimes 3 times a day but usually 2 times a day. My mom used to never really consider bread as proper meal, she consider it as snack so we will eat rice again even shortly after ate a sandwich. But don't get me wrong, excercise is good for ur health physically and mentally not just for body shape.

In lots of Western countries, we demonise our food. Carbs are demonised because we generally eat too much processed food, misunderstanding the nuance that, yeah, processed carbs are unhealthy, but unprocessed and minimally processed carbs are good! Many of us Westerners have a very dysfunctional relationship with food. 😕
Das ist interessant, hier in Deutschland gibt es immer mal den Low carb Hype, aber Wir Deutschen leben von Kolenhydraten besonders Brot! Kohlenhydrate stehen hier an der Spitze der Ernährungspyramide! In meiner Region ist fast Alles Nudelteig und sehr viel gebackenem besonders einheimische Spezialitäten und Kuchen! Das ist natürlich nicht gesund und einige haben deshalb auch schon mal Übergewicht! Ich persönlich denke aber Kohlenhydrate gibt es auch in gesünderer Form!
As someone who's recovering from anorexia Nervosa, I've learned that you'll die sooner from starvation than from "overconsumption". Life is too short to be counting grams of carbs. It's okay to eat food, any kind of food, as long as it nourishes the body and soul. It's taken me a few years, but I am finally learning how to appreciate food without feeling guilty. I really like these videos because I can live my bread baking fantasies vicariously through you! (I am too impatient to bake bread, I can barely cook to feed myself lol)
Happy to hear about your recovery! Baking bread has been helpful in my journey to recovery, just because the love I put in it means it doesn't feel as bad when I'm eating it. (ED NOS)
Just popping in here to add that while it is true that starvation leads to death faster than "overconsumption", rates of complications and death from other eating disorders (such as BED or OSFED for example) are just as high as from AN. To be clear, your experience is 100% valid; my intent in writing this comment is just to inform anyone else reading here of the facts in an effort to minimize stigmas and competitiveness surrounding EDs (as I'm sure you already know these ED statistics). Best wishes to you. Hopefully I can recover someday myself. But I doubt it, because I have no access to competent treatment.
it's not quite that simple. carbs aren't always about losing or gaining weight, because i've had some crazy hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia episodes because of too many simple carbs. i've been eat more complex carbs through semolina pasta, potatoes, whole wheat breads, and cereals and i never had blood glucose events when eating those, but literally today i had a thing of rice, apparently too high on the glycemic index, had a hypoglycemia episode :/ sometimes the issue you may be thinking about may not even be the actual issue.
This is so well said and I’m so glad you’re repairing your relationship with food! My story is very similar in that I stopped baking because 👹cArBs👹 I’m finally getting back into it and I didn’t realise how much I missed it. Lots of love to you and I’m looking forward to seeing what you bake next. The sourdough looks gorgeous 🤤
I love your mini bread oven, please can you give information on brand etc and where to purchase please? I've been baking for a while BUT I've never made my own starter due to my unsociable hours 🙃 been thinking about it for so long. I'm totally inspired but your videos so, I'm going to make my first starter this wknd ✨️
I wanna get good at baking bread, because that way I can control what ingredients actually go into it. I.e. it's not loaded with 3 different types of sugar, as is common here in America. But I'm not exactly patient enough to wait the multiple hours it takes for bread dough to rise, nor am I patient enough to wait for it to cool completely before cutting it. Maybe someday I'll make good bread...
I never really baked either until home ec class we made a casserole with ground beef, rice, tomato sauce, peppers, and onions, which was a really good simple meal
I think so. You really need to stop that, the sooner, the better. There is more to life as how you or a specific bodypart looks! The most important thing is, that you are physically and mentally healthy. Take this from person, whoose mother always wants their children to be slim and is lost in her "I need to be slender"-mindset. Also take this from a person whoose sister has developed a gut desease. She says: Enjoy your food as long as you can! (She now needs to live off around 12 quite boring foods, at least in the very heavy phases of the desease).
I can only relate to this because I used to draw as a kid and I drew freely without worrying about the results or worrying about public perception, I had so many creative ideas and so many details and time went into my drawings because I had fun. Now I don't have that anymore and I need to find out how to get it back :(
I learned to bake at a historic seafood restaurant on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Then, I married a first generation American of German descent and learned sourdough baking, test baked for Peter Reinhardt's book, "Bread Baker's Apprentice" and then quit when my husband and I divorced. I too worried about carbs. But now, with food prices going nuts, I am thinking constantly of starting again. The simple delicious pleasure of tomato on sourdough is driving me.
I bake bread every day, I used to have problem with gluten and that stuff but when It stopped when I began with iodine. And I see that you have a fancy oven
This video really stuck with me. I stopped eating bread because I thought it was making me fat. I also use to bake a lot for my family and was good at it. I try to not even eat sugar now. This video over the past week has made me look at all the foods I use to enjoy making in a different way. Maybe I will start baking again.
I never learned as a kid/teenager, because of the faulty idea “it’s a woman’s job”, and now I realize cooking/baking is better than eating out or pre made dinners. Keep it up 👍🏼
Seeing food as a math equation is so real, I can't enjoy sweets anymore without crunching the numbers in my head for how much less food I'm gonna have to eat to stay in a calorie deficit
I just realized you have an Aussie accent. I subscribed a few days ago, and I've been watching a lot of your shorts. I didn't notice until now that you have an accent. I think I'm getting too used to Australian accents to where I don't even hear them anymore(My boyfriend and his family are from Tassie). I assumed you were American 💀. Anyway, I look forward to more videos xD
This is literally my situation right now, I'm 14 and I love cooking and baking, I made a bunch of different things,me and my sister also had fun making those little pastries but lately I stopped and I became kind of a person who cares too much about what I eat so I always think that it'll be too unhealthy or too much carbohydrates so I don't bake much. I just made a bread today, It's still rising
I suffer from anorexia and currently in recovery and I so relate. Had to go to a dietitian along with therapy and the" carbs are bad" myth is just that, a myth.
I never thought it was possible to make a perfect loop, but u did! Love your videos! you taught me so many good tricks for bread, and i have started baking again. btw, your bread looks delicious! Can i get a pin?
Baking is such a great bonding experience with kids. My grandma used to get us to help make dough and then she'd cut off pieces and take out small tins so we could make our own mini pies and learn how to do it. I loved that. I make cakes more often than pies as an adult but I've gotten kids as young as 3 to bake cakes with me, they pour ingredients into the bowl and they get to decorate it. Sometimes I'll put parameters, like I need space to put "Happy Birthday" in frosting, but generally everyone who's eating the cake is proud of the kid and no one minds the crazy mess they make lol. I'll usually just pull out a bunch of sprinkles and sugar crystals and let them do what they want, if they're old enough I let them pipe flowers or whatever they want. It really makes a difference for kids. Like my cousin's 4 yr old daughter one summer was obsessed with it being her birthday, but other birthdays came before hers, so the first birthday she went around claiming it was her birthday and demanding things, and all the adults shushed her. I asked her if she'd help make the cake. We made it and as it was cooling, I told her she was in charge of decorating the cake, so she had to come back to help me. She did. And then she spent the rest of the day going around telling everyone she helped make the birthday cake and she was decorating it. Everyone responded positively to her, lots of congratulations, you're such a big kid, that kind of stuff. She was just beaming with pride. I asked if she noticed that everyone wanted to listen to her talk about the work she did now and if it made her feel happy. She said yes. I told her, people will always want to hear about your hard work, and the people who love you will be proud of you. And, even if you don't get to tell anyone, it still makes you feel proud of yourself. Right? Kids need that validation and offering them a healthy and positive way to get the attention they crave from adults offers them a path towards success later in life. Teaching kids that hard work is something to be proud of and praising them for it sets up pathways in the brain where they're predisposed to that kind of thinking. I genuinely think if I'd had parents who taught me hard work pays off and how to be a person in the world would've helped me. My parents had zero time for us and didn't teach us anything. Our grandma did but she wasn't our primary caregiver, we had minders and nannies, people who kept us in line and alive. I didn't get lessons like this. Do kids a favour and take the time to teach it to them.
I came across your channel today and I had to subscribe.. I work for a bread company called BreadBlock in Los Angeles California.. I work as a packer there.. packing all the fresh breads for the stores and farmers markets.. I like watching our bakers prepare the bread and like watching the pastry chefs.. seeing your videos are so cool to me.. you have talent
I never realized until now that moving out into a student apartment with a tiny kitchen and not having a family close by to force 12 fresh muffins onto were only partly the reason I stopped baking... there was definitely the food restriction part
I don't know if I've seen any of your other videos before this one but I absolutely love how much love you put into tucking in the bread. And then those bowls like cribs..so much love💘
