It's been three months since I've entered my city girl era and I've never been busier.

Between balancing work and my social life,

it's been a challenge to maintain that structure I had when I was living at home,

especially my eating habits.

Although it is so tempting and easy to eat out and order in all the time,

I want to make sure I'm still being healthy and financially responsible while living on my own,

which is very hard to do if you're always running around like me.

So this is a realistic what I eat in a day

living alone where I share the meals I make at home to stay healthy,

toned, and on budget.

Every Sunday, I always meal prep.

I am a big believer in time savers,

especially if you have a hectic schedule.

And usually Sunday is the perfect day to meal prep.

To be quite honest with you,

meal prepping takes me like maybe three hours,

but it is so, so worth it.

Instead of having to cook every single meal every single day,

I just batch cook everything at once so that I can grab and go during the week.

The other reason I really like meal prepping is that I have full control over what I'm cooking.

If you live in a big city like me,

then you know it is so easy to eat out,

especially if you work all the time and are too tired to cook.

But the cost really adds up and you don't know what restaurants are putting in the food.

So the best way to just make healthy choices and stay on top of your health goals is to meal prep.

When you're rushing between meetings and you need something quick,

the food is like right there and you don't even have to think about it.

And don't worry, I'm going to show you the exact meals I'm eating right now.

The very first thing I put in my body is lemon water.

You guys must be so sick of seeing this because I always show myself drinking it in my videos,

but I cannot talk about it enough.

Hydration first thing in the morning is so important.

After eight hours of sleep,

your body is like a raisin,

so you need to replenish all the fluids you lost at night to become a nice plump and juicy grape.

I don't know about you,

but chugging a ton of water first thing in the morning is really hard for me,

so that's why I squeeze half a lemon in it.

It just gives it some flavor,

and the vitamin C is really good for your skin and health.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this,

but I am not doing workout classes anymore.

Well, I'm taking a break for now.

I don't know.

At first they were really good and I liked going to them.

But after a couple of weeks,

I started feeling extremely tired, like abnormally exhausted.

And my hunger just went through the roof.

Like the high intensity workouts were putting so much stress on my body.

I was eating everything in sight and I just felt really puffy and inflamed.

And that really messed with my body image.

So I decided to take a break and see how I felt and so far I feel a lot better.

I initially wanted to try workout classes because everyone in the city does them and to be honest,

I just wanted to fit in with everyone else but guys,

always listen to your body.

I realize my body is more sensitive to stress

and it takes me longer to recover after a hard workout but that's okay.

I don't need to be doing what everyone else is doing.

Plus, I was paying like $200 a month and only going three times a week

so it just like was not worth it in my opinion.

But this is me not trying to hate on workout classes.

If you like them, I love that for you.

They're just not right for me in this season of my life,

but who knows, maybe I'll try it again later.

For breakfast, I prioritize quick and easy foods

because mornings are just really busy for me and the last thing I'm thinking about is cooking.

That's why I love prepping chia seed pudding.

This week, I did a chocolate flavor using chocolate collagen powder.

It's so easy, it requires zero effort in the morning and you can take it on the go.

The collagen provides that protein and chia seeds have a lot of fiber,

which is great at keeping you full and providing that stable source of energy.

This will also make you very regular,

if you know what I mean.

Sometimes I eat this in the morning.

Sometimes I eat it at night for dessert.

It just depends how hungry I am in the morning.

And if you don't like chocolate,

you can also do a vanilla version,

cinnamon, matcha, or just add some fruits or granola on top.

If you guys have been following me for a while,

then you know I used to have some health issues,

especially my gut health.

I've had general gut dysbiosis,

candida, and some vitamin deficiencies.

So I took matters into my own hands and did my own research.

But unfortunately, with social media and the internet,

there's a ton of misinformation out there and brands that just promote a very inauthentic version of wellness.

So to just avoid all of that,

I wanted to speak to a specialist directly about my diet and I found the perfect dietitian for me through Nourish.

I needed someone who would walk me through my specific needs and goals and who would give me that specialized guidance.

And Nourish makes finding a professional so frictionless and easy.

They connect you with vetted registered dietitians who you meet with online.

And most of them specialize in a specific area like gut health,

women's health, hormones, etc.

This way you can get the specific help you need without having to physically go to a bunch of different offices,

which is a huge hassle.

I got connected with a dietitian super quickly and we went over my specific health goals,

history, and diet plan.

And normally I get really nervous whenever I go to a doctor's office,

100

but since I'm able to meet with my nourished dietitian in my own home,

101

I feel a lot more comfortable to open up about my health.

102

They can also order your labs for you and help you interpret the results,

103

which is very convenient.

104

We love services that are just a one-stop shop.

105

What I love about Nourish is that 94% of their patients pay $0 out of pocket.

106

They accept hundreds of insurance plans across all 50 states.

107

So this is not one of those wellness things that's only accessible if you have a lot of money.

108

If you have insurance, there's a really good chance you're already covered.

109

They also have a Nourish guarantee,

110

so no surprise billing and your first appointment will always be covered.

111

I truly believe that health starts with food,

112

so if you're tired of sorting through the misinformation and you want to meet face-to-face with a professional,

113

I highly recommend trying Nourish.

114

You can book your first appointment in under five minutes using the link in the description.

115

For lunch, we are having a chicken salad wrap with a side of roasted potatoes.

116

This is one of my favorite busy girl meals because of how stupidly simple but delicious it is.

117

The secret to the best chicken salad is to make it the night before.

118

All the flavors get to marinate with each other and it honestly gets better throughout the week.

119

And when you're ready to eat it,

120

all you got to do is wrap it up with some lettuce and enjoy.

121

This pack's great for lunch and you don't even have to heat it up.

122

For some more carbs, I like to eat mine with some roasted potatoes.

123

I also meal prep this just to save myself some time.

124

And if you don't eat meat,

125

you can swap the chicken for chickpeas or tuna so then it becomes a chickpea salad wrap or tuna salad wrap.

126

This is a really easy high protein meal that's simple and quick.

127

Okay, I just finished my lunch and I'm feeling like I want a matcha.

128

I recently have been obsessed with this strawberry matcha latte from like a cafe in Chicago,

129

but I want to make it at home,

130

which is going to be really, really hard.

131

Cause I don't know how they do like this pink thing.

132

And then they have like freeze dried strawberries up here.

133

So I'm just, I'm going to do the best I can.

134

I have strawberry jam.

135

So I'm going to use this instead.

136

Let's see how this goes.

137

And while I'm making it,

138

I kind of want to do like a little Q and A.

139

Well, actually not Q&A because you can't ask me anything,

140

but I want to answer some questions you guys have been asking me

141

and just like getting to know me since I feel like I don't really talk about my personal life in these videos.

142

A lot of people don't know this,

143

but I used to be an actor before I started doing YouTube.

144

So I went to the University of Southern California in LA to be an actor.

145

Okay, it's really hard for me to multitask.

146

But anyway, I grew up doing acting pretty much my entire life like all throughout middle school, high school.

147

And then I was like,

148

well, I'm good at this.

149

And I can see myself doing this as a career.

150

So that's why I went to school for it.

151

But towards the end of college,

152

I was like, this isn't for me.

153

I feel like even more so than social media,

154

Hollywood is very, very competitive,

155

especially, you know, if you're like ethnic.

156

So I was like, maybe in another life,

157

but that's initially what drew me to social media because I feel like it's still entertainment you know,

158

so I'm still using my degree.

159

Oh, speaking of California, my family and I lived in California for like seven months when I was in like kindergarten.

160

I don't know why we moved.

161

I think it was because of like my acting career,

162

but we don't really have too many family members out there.

163

So we just moved back to Chicago.

164

And that was the only time we ever lived in another state other than Illinois.

165

Let's see.

166

I've never broken a bone, knock on wood.

167

So hopefully that doesn't happen to me.

168

I've never had any like major surgery except

169

when I was like in first grade I had to be hospitalized

170

because they thought I had like like a weird disease

171

because my I had a really high fever

172

and um they didn't know what was wrong with me

173

but I was just really sick I am full Korean oh

174

actually this is something you guys always ask me you guys

175

are like Allison how do you speak like such fluent English your English is

176

so good well I was bored in the states

177

so thankfully my English is good

178

if it wasn't that'd be kind of questionable i grew up in the states

179

and i'm full korean though so like i'm basically korean american

180

but i don't really speak korean um i understand kind of like 50 of what people are saying

181

so like a first grader equivalent and i really only speak korean to my grandmother

182

because as she's getting older the more she like reverts back to just what she's familiar with

183

and so the more and more she speaks in korean to me it's been good

184

because i feel like I feel like it helps me like practice my Korean,

185

if that makes sense.

186

But I used to take this like Korean course and then I stopped because it was really hard.

187

Oh wait, what am I doing?

188

I am the youngest of my family.

189

I have an older brother and he's cool.

190

He's only like two years older than me though.

191

And so I think us being like really close in age made us fight a lot as kids.

192

And to be honest, like,

193

I mean, we're cool now.

194

Like I'd consider him like a friend.

195

a friend.

196

I mean, he's my sibling,

197

but you know, I, I don't know,

198

maybe like as we continue to get older,

199

the more close we'll be, but yeah, he's cool.

200

Oh no. My, um, swirly thing is like broken.

201

Oh, I guess I'll just have to mix it like this.

202

Bro, what is going on here?

203

Hello.

204

I do want to go back to Korea soon.

205

I don't know if it's going to happen this year or even next year,

206

but definitely within the next couple of years,

207

the last time I went was like 2013 or something.

208

and I was just a kid so I don't remember

209

that much and I feel like

210

when you go as an adult you're able to like appreciate the culture more

211

and obviously I want to do some shopping some eating do

212

I pour I think I pour the milk first every time I make matcha the matcha always separates

213

which is uh not the vibe I'm going for so let's see if I can do this correctly all right you're ready?

214

Ready for this?

215

Here we go.

216

Ooh.

217

Wait, I should have made more.

218

This is not a lot.

219

That's my five sips of matcha right here.

220

I know what we need.

221

Boom.

222

Okay.

223

Now it looks kind of full.

224

Let me just add some more milk.

225

How come my matcha is like not as green as I want it to be?

226

All right.

227

Here is my not so strawberry matcha latte.

228

Oh shoot.

229

I should have like blended this or something because there's like pulp.

230

It's kind of chunky.

231

Okay, this was a fail.

232

It kind of tastes like strawberry.

233

I like can't even suck it up through the straw.

234

Yeah, there's like a big, big chunk.

235

All right, next time it'll work out for me.

236

All right, let's talk supplements because I know people are already going to ask.

237

I always believe food first, supplements second.

238

They supplement the nutrients you need outside of current diet,

239

but you shouldn't rely on them.

240

You know what I mean?

241

Ideally, the main food that you're eating should contain the vitamins and nutrients that you need to sustain yourself.

242

But because of like industrial agriculture and like processed foods,

243

we're not getting all of our nutrients.

244

Okay.

245

So that's why we supplement.

246

And because food is not as nutrient dense as it used to be,

247

I really do think that everyone should be supplementing with at least a couple ones.

248

So here is my current supplement stack.

249

I am taking a probiotic.

250

This is the Lemmy Debloat Daily Digestive Gummies.

251

Listen, I'm normally very skeptical when it comes to celebrity products.

252

I mean, most of the time they're kind of like a cash grab,

253

but these like low-key work.

254

30 minutes after taking these,

255

I'm running to the bathroom.

256

These will clear you out,

257

which is why I think the de-bloat part works.

258

Because if you're feeling backed up,

259

that's definitely gonna make you feel puffy.

260

And they taste really good too.

261

So I like these.

262

I also have the Lemmy Curb gummies.

263

These are actually for cravings.

264

When I was working out a lot and going to the workout classes,

265

I was like starving all the time.

266

So I wanted to try these.

267

But these, I feel like are not as effective as these.

268

But honestly, they still taste really good.

269

So I just take them.

270

The next supplement I take is vitamin C.

271

This is for immune support.

272

It's great for your skin and it's how you don't get sick.

273

Next up is vitamin D3.

274

I live in Chicago.

275

So nine months out of the year, it's cold.

276

And so we're all indoors.

277

So I take vitamin D3.

278

This is, I believe, 5,000 IUs.

279

This is a non-negotiable for my mood and also my immune system.

280

Next up is magnesium.

281

This one I added specifically for sleep and stress.

282

Magnesium helps to regulate your nervous system.

283

And did you know most people are actually deficient in it, including myself.

284

So if you work out a lot or you have a very demanding job,

285

I highly recommend taking magnesium, especially before bed.

286

Oh, another fun fact.

287

I actually used to have a phobia of swallowing pills.

288

And I don't know.

289

I think I just like forced myself.

290

I peer pressured myself into doing it,

291

but it's still kind of hard for me.

292

Next up, we have vitamin B12.

293

Again when I did like my nutrient panel I found out I am deficient in this

294

Which makes sense because I am always tired

295

so this is good for like energy These are also really small

296

so they're easy to take

297

And lastly I have a multivitamin This is just a baseline

298

for like my nutritional safety It just covers like all of these vitamins at once

299

And I take it in gummy form because why not?

300

It makes it more enjoyable All this to say though you

301

should not just blindly follow what I'm doing okay These are all supplements that I personally need.

302

So see your own doctor,

303

go get your labs, your tests done,

304

and take supplements that your body would actually benefit from.

305

We made it to dinner, guys.

306

My second favorite meal of the day after lunch, of course.

307

Tonight, I am having a burrito bowl with ground beef.

308

This is probably the most complex meal of today just because there's more components.

309

But I promise if you meal prep them all at the same time,

310

all you got to do is put the bowl together when you're ready to eat.

311

This is a super high protein and filling meal and because there's different sides and flavors,

312

I never get sick of eating this multiple days in a row.

313

Listen, there is a reason why slop bowls have supremacy in corporate culture right now.

314

They're just so easy to customize and they taste great.

315

But at an average of $20 a bowl,

316

that's $100 a week or $5,200 a year.

317

Why pay five grand for some yummy slop when you can easily make it at home for a fraction of the price?

318

Plus, anything in a bowl is so customizable depending on your health goals.

319

You can easily adjust the macros depending on what you need.

320

So if you need more carbs, add some more rice.

321

If you need more fats, add more avocado.

322

If you need less carbs,

323

put less rice and more lettuce.

324

This meal is super flexible and delicious.

325

Always end the night with something sweet, of course.

326

It's not a what I eat in a day without a little sweet treat.

327

I got some green grapes here.

328

These are huge.

329

If you guys like this video and you want me to do more,

330

then let me know in the comments.

331

I love to know what you guys eat in a day or any of your current food fixations.

332

Thanks so much for watching and see you in the next one.

333

Bye.

334

Bye.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
