Hi everyone, it's your girl Jen and today I am finally filming the how I lost weight video.

If I'm going to be completely honest,

I kind of put this video off because I know diet and nutrition can be a very controversial topic online.

First off, I am not a dietitian, I am not a nutritionist,

I just literally used these tips that I'm about to share with you and I lost weight.

I can't guarantee that it's gonna work for you because everyone's body is unique and Some bodies just react differently

All I know is that these tips have helped me lose weight

and that's all I can claim so now that's out of the way

Let me just give you some stats about my bod

Last year in 2016 I was the heaviest I ever was I was 120 pounds

and for my frame that really showed and now today in 2017 I am 100 to 105 pounds.

This took a full year to lose the weight, so please do not expect this to happen overnight.

It is a gradual process.

The only advice I can give you is to start today.

Start on your next meal and don't look back.

So I'm gonna run down the 10 tips that have contributed to my weight loss.

A lot of it is common sense, but sometimes you just need a little refresher.

My first tip is to find healthy foods that you actually love eating.

It's not realistic to have a salad for every single meal for the rest of your life.

It's just unattainable go out there and go on a food tour

Find the healthy foods that you just freaking love eating

and create a list so throughout the years I've learned

that I love broccoli green beans mushrooms tofu I can eat so much of that and never get sick of it

Don't force yourself to eat that dry kale salad if you don't like dry kale

And I don't go out of my way to eat healthy foods

that I don't like for example I don't like cucumbers and I don't like tomatoes.

And I don't force myself to eat it just because it's healthy.

I just avoid them and eat other healthy foods.

And it's really worked out well for me.

So go out there, create a list, and stick to it.

The second tip is very important.

It is to have no distractions while you're eating.

I know it's like second nature at this point to get your hot pile of food, turn on the TV or laptop,

and just tune out and eat.

Your brain takes around 20 minutes to realize that it's full.

And when you're not paying attention to your body, you don't know when that time comes.

And I've noticed that whenever I watch something and I'm eating, I tend to eat even more and even faster.

And a lot of times, I'm finished with my food but the show's still going,

so I'll go back and get seconds just so I can let the good times roll.

But if you wanna lose weight, it's easier to know what your body is saying to you when everything is off.

I always try and stop eating right when I get to the sweet spot, and that is the spot where I'm not hungry anymore,

but I'm not like completely full like it's that really nice in between

and I feel like I feel like the Japanese have a word for it

But I don't know like that's that's the that's where I try

and stop eating and that's really helped me maintain my figure and It's tricky believe me

It's really hard to get that spot because it's so tempting to just eat until like your stomach's like oh god

No, like that's where I used to love being it's been easier to maintain my weight

because I'm not over over -indulging and over -eating.

This next tip is something that I've been using since college and it's to have smaller plates and bowls.

So if you look in our shelves, you'll notice that we have two sizes.

We've got a normal big one for Ben and we've got a smaller one for me.

We've nicknamed it the baby plate because it's just little.

And yeah, when I have a bigger plate, I tend to wanna over -portion myself.

I wanna cram and fill the plate.

So with the smaller plate, I can still cram all the food in but it's actually the perfect portion for me.

Tip number four is to get a water bottle.

I feel like drinking water is one of the most common diet tips, but it's so true.

When you are hydrated, you're not really that hungry.

And for me, I love having my sippy cup because this makes me drink so much water throughout the day.

And it's the Camelback specifically.

I love the bite valve and I love to have to suck the water in.

I go through maybe three or four bottles of this a day.

And so I make sure that I'm very hydrated.

Whenever you have a craving, chances are you're just dehydrated or you're bored.

And so whenever I have like a hankering for some chips or like any sort of like snack or something,

I will chug half a bottle of this and I'll wait 15 minutes and if I'm still hungry, then I'll go have a snack.

But most of the time after I drink it, I'm completely fine and I can wait till my next meal.

I also should mention that I don't drink any juices, I don't drink any soda or like milk.

I only stick to water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, and like soda water.

That's pretty much it.

My favorite is La Croix.

It is so delicious.

It has zero calories and it just gives you that carbonated kick if you are missing it.

My fifth tip is to never skip any meals, especially breakfast.

I feel like I have kind of programmed my body to just like wake up hungry, so I always, always have breakfast.

Like there's a reason why it's called the most important meal of the day.

It's because it kicks off your metabolism.

And I've noticed that when I skip like breakfast, By the next meal, I am so hungry, I end up making really stupid food decisions.

So I'll just like end up overeating or I'll order something like really gnarly, like nachos or something.

It's easier to make mindful food choices when your body is not starving.

Personally, I only eat three meals a day.

I know some people like to have four to five smaller meals a day,

but for me, it's just too much effort to think of like that many meals to eat,

so I like to keep it simple, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

For my breakfast, that's when I have most of my carbs.

I'll have beans on toast or I'll have an egg wrap.

For lunch, I can treat myself, I'll have a sandwich, a burger, whatever.

But for dinner, that's when I'm kind of the most strict.

When I was at my most motivated to lose weight, for dinner I would never have any refined carbohydrates.

So I wouldn't have any pasta, I wouldn't have big fried rice dishes.

I would probably stick to veggies and a protein and that's it for dinner.

And then for breakfast, I'll have my carbs.

This next tip is something that I really struggled with when I first moved back to LA in 2015,

I was eating out at restaurants all the time and I was ordering Postmates all the time.

When you go to restaurants, even if you order the healthy dish, you don't actually know what the restaurant's putting into it.

Sure, there's like a list of ingredients, but you don't know how much butter they put, you don't know how much oil they put, or MSG.

The restaurant's objective is to make the food taste as good as possible and keep you coming back.

And it's a business, so it makes sense.

So that's why it's just easier to just cook your own meal, you know exactly what you put in it.

100

And I know it's like easy to say like, oh, I'm not a good cook, I can't cook, but you just need to cook three recipes.

101

Learn how to make three healthy recipes and then you can build from there.

102

It's impossible to just completely avoid restaurants for the rest of your life, it's not gonna happen.

103

So when I do eat out, I like to have a balance.

104

So I have this rule called the two rule.

105

So I'll either pick an appetizer, an entree, or an entree and a dessert.

106

I'll never get all three, or if I do get all three, It's like you know a special occasion,

107

but yeah, you don't need all three you don't need an appetizer entree and dessert

108

That's just you know, that's you know, that's the full package

109

You just need two tip number seven is to reduce your alcohol intake

110

when I was at my heaviest I was probably drinking maybe two

111

or three times a week and it definitely showed there's a lot of empty calories and alcohol

112

And the problem with me was I would always have drenchies

113

when I would come home drunk I would just open up my cupboard, make a snack, throw it in the microwave,

114

and I would just eat all of it to soak up the alcohol and then go to sleep.

115

But, I mean, I don't even know if that's scientifically proven, but basically I would eat all that shit

116

and then I would wake up the next morning hungover and I would always order my burrito.

117

Yeah, it was like a vicious cycle.

118

Obviously I still drink, I like to go out and have a good time, but I only drink once a week now.

119

If I'm gonna drink more than once a week, then I'll only have one drink, that's it and every time I go out,

120

I only have a vodka soda with fresh lime, that is my favorite drink of choice.

121

Ben and I call it the Skinny Mini because it only has the calories of the vodka.

122

Like, and I think a shot of vodka is what, like 100 calories?

123

And that's it.

124

This next tip is about snacking.

125

I don't keep any snacks that tempt me in my house

126

because I'm the type of person where if I have like hot cheeto fries or just any form of hot cheetos,

127

I have to eat the bag.

128

It's kind of like calling my name as I'm just like in the house.

129

So I just like to cut the temptation and not have any of it in my house.

130

If I really, really want them, then I'll have to get off my ass and go buy them.

131

But if they're not in the house, then I'm not thinking about it.

132

So I know I've been blabbing a lot about food and diet, so I'm gonna talk about the next obvious thing, which is exercise.

133

I like to exercise around three to five times a week, and when I was training super hard, I was going five times a week.

134

And that, in combination with all the tips that I said, like made me really shredded.

135

Like for the first two months, like a lot of that weight came off because of those.

136

I know the ratio is something like 80 % diet and 20 % fitness, but when you put the exercise in,

137

that 20 % goes a long way.

138

And when you are just combining both those forces, a lot of it just melts off.

139

So it's really important to find a form of exercise that you hate the least.

140

So whether it is kickboxing, Pilates, swimming, running, whatever, for me, it is to train alone.

141

I love going to the gym by myself.

142

It's become my own little sanctuary.

143

Each of my workouts are around 50 minutes long.

144

I am obsessed with this app called Seconds.

145

I have talked about it in a previous video.

146

It's basically like my little personal trainer.

147

So I like to start off with 20 minutes of cardio.

148

I'll use my high intensity interval training workout.

149

So I'll be on the StairMaster for five minutes just walking normally, and then I'll run on the StairMaster for 30 seconds,

150

and then I'll walk again for a minute and 30 seconds, and then I'll run again for 30 seconds.

151

And I'll do this six times

152

and then I'll cool off with five minutes of walking on the Stairmaster

153

And by the end of this I am literally drenched in sweat and now I am ready for my strength training

154

For my 30 minutes of strength training, I won't get too into it,

155

but I basically have created a bunch of playlists that work different parts of my body out.

156

So I have three full body workouts.

157

I have one for the waist, one for the abs and arms.

158

It all depends.

159

I feel like I'm just going to do a separate video on that workout because if I incorporated that into this video,

160

I feel like it'd be way too long.

161

So be prepared for my workout video in the future.

162

These days, I only work out three times a week.

163

It's because I'm not trying to lose any weight.

164

I'm only trying to maintain the body I have right now.

165

I'm really happy with my weight and I'm not trying to change anything.

166

I've noticed that since I've been doing the strength training and the weights, it's been easier to just keep my body the way it is.

167

My last tip is to find motivation that really resonates with you.

168

Back in the day, I feel like a lot of my weight loss inspiration was quite superficial.

169

It was just about like, I wanna be skinny for my birthday or I wanna be skinny for Coachella.

170

Once I found a deeper reason of why I wanted to be fit, it just propelled me to stay in shape.

171

The reason why I exercise and I tried my best to stay in shape is for my mental health.

172

I've noticed that back in the day when I wasn't working out consistently, I had a lot more breakdowns, I had a lot of meltdowns,

173

and I was just very sensitive to stress.

174

Now that I work out three to five times a week, I don't really have that issue that much anymore,

175

like I'm not perfect, but I am so much better than how I was last year.

176

Some days I just wake up and I am just bummed.

177

But before I would just kind of be bummed and just let it be like a sad day.

178

Now if I'm feeling sad or I'm feeling anxious or stressed,

179

I hit the gym because 95 % of the time I come back after a workout and I feel better.

180

Ben is the most important person in my life and he lives with me.

181

And I hated being the Debbie Downer.

182

Ben is generally a super positive person and having a bad attitude is just

183

so contagious and I hated bringing him down and so I knew

184

that this is something that I really needed to work on and exercise has helped me so much.

185

So find a reason that really sticks with you, whether it's because you wanna be stronger, you want to be able to lift something,

186

whether you wanna run a marathon or you wanna have inner peace with yourself.

187

Once you find a deeper goal, it's easier to stick with it.

188

All right, guys, those are my top 10 tips on how I lost weight.

189

Honestly, the first month is the hardest, I swear, But once you pass that hurdle, it's all downhill from there

190

And then once you start seeing like physical changes in your body and once like pants started to feel loose

191

Then it becomes even easier

192

if you'd like to leave any diet tips in the comments down below or words of encouragement I'd love to hear them.

193

I just want this to be like a positive

194

Place for people to talk about fitness and nutrition if there's something that you don't agree with me

195

It would be awesome if you just said it in a constructive way as opposed to a way of just attacking me

196

My point is not to shame people into losing weight

197

It's just for the people that need that extra kick to want to live a healthier lifestyle

198

So I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day.

199

Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one

200

Bye Thank

201

you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
