Im 23 and i would rate my metabolism as poor but not in the typical way you’d think of. I have digestive tract paralysis and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. I have to work very hard to make sure I’m able to actually able to absorb nutrients at all and make sure i stay consistent with my medication and daily health and self care routine so it doesnt go down hill. Its genuinely a struggle.
Such a challenge, thanks for sharing
Great video! It’s so important to be reminded of the truths I’ve known, but even better to have new ones pointed out. I’m always learning something from Abbey!
Love this thanks for watching!
This was excellent! Very well researched and explained/presented 🙏
Thank you!!
You’re absolutely right! Nothing like joyful movement and getting enough protein in
Yessss
Can you dive into adrenal illnesses like Addissons disease, Cushings or tertiary AI? Example: someone had tertiary adrenal insufficiency, took hydrocortisone for 1 year (gained 25kg in the first few weeks) and after stopping with oral hydrocortisone it seems almost impossible to lose the excess weight. How does one with HPA-Adrenal illnesses live with weightgain/diet/etc.?Is there a certain lifestyle that is best for this patient population?
Thanks for the advice. As always, you have educated me and helped me meet my nutritional needs. Love your real take with a little sass! 😊
yayyy
I really appreciate that you’ve been making more informational videos on weight loss and metabolism! As someone who accidentally damaged/strained/slowed their own metabolism from years of dieting and restricted calories, I appreciate having the gentle guidance to get my body back to what feels normal and healthy without overdoing it with one fix or another and without regaining a bunch of weight. Thank you 😊
I’m so glad!! This can be a super confusing space
It IS confusing- thanks for talking about it.
@@AbbeysKitchen But these are my go tos so I don’t believe it let me have my cake and eat it too.
Good to hear metabolism doesn’t actually change much with age
It’s such a common myth
@@AbbeysKitchenbut what about petimenopause with low oestrpgen and sarcopenia? Would like to see a collab with Dr Mary Claire Haver
Love this! Can you do a video about low calorie and high protein food? Trying to get my baby weight off. Thanks! ❤
I have lost 35 pounds since January. I am working on the last 5 pounds, and it’s been slooow going! Im starting to feel like I will never lose those last 5 pounds. These are some great tips. I have not done much resistance training. I will increase that.
I won’t stop saying this: thank you for your science based videos. Being a phd student in molecular biology I feel so much appreciation fo this, because there are to much disinformation and invalid interpretation on social media. I work is fabulous!
Also, thanks for the support of adequate journey of fat loss, for me having history of 15kg weight swings it’s important! Now I’m facing another 20kg to loose, so focus on healthy ways to give myself enough balanced nutrition helps me set mind on right things!
Sorry for grammar mistakes, English is my second language 😥
I love your videos because you keep debunking several myths, I was told or read as a child/ teenager year ago.
I love that you mention resistance training. I went through WLS about 8 months ago and they stressed the most important things I can do to help my body is 1) meet my protein goal of 80-100g per day, 2) get in at least 60 oz of water or more, and 3) add at least 3 days a week of resistance training a week. The rapid weight loss isnt all just fat, but is often muscle as well, and we want to keep as much of that as possible so the weight resistance is super important on multiple fronts.
I started college to be an RD because of you!!! I wanna work with eating disorder patients
Abbey with the facts!! I’ve learned so much from this channel and am so grateful!! Her approach is very balanced
That was very interesting! Thank you Abbey
Can you do a video on how hormones affect weight? I hear a lot of women say that their weight gain is related to hormones, I wonder how much of that has actually been proven
When you talked about having the organs do more work I just knew you were going to talk about drinking water/staying hydrated. 🙃 Enjoyed learning this info!
This is so helpful. At 63 and 208lbs, 5 1″, 1500 cals I’m afraid mine is broken and can’t lose from dieting. Now I’m just taking it easy, focusing on good nutrition and Weights. This video calmed my panic.
Love that you talked about metabolism and age! I dug deep into that study and it totally changed my perspective from years of false beliefs.
