1
It's been three months since I've entered my city girl era and I've never been busier.
2
Between balancing work and my social life,
3
it's been a challenge to maintain that structure I had when I was living at home,
4
especially my eating habits.
5
Although it is so tempting and easy to eat out and order in all the time,
6
I want to make sure I'm still being healthy and financially responsible while living on my own,
7
which is very hard to do if you're always running around like me.
8
So this is a realistic what I eat in a day
9
living alone where I share the meals I make at home to stay healthy,
10
toned, and on budget.
11
Every Sunday, I always meal prep.
12
I am a big believer in time savers,
13
especially if you have a hectic schedule.
14
And usually Sunday is the perfect day to meal prep.
15
To be quite honest with you,
16
meal prepping takes me like maybe three hours,
17
but it is so, so worth it.
18
Instead of having to cook every single meal every single day,
19
I just batch cook everything at once so that I can grab and go during the week.
20
The other reason I really like meal prepping is that I have full control over what I'm cooking.
21
If you live in a big city like me,
22
then you know it is so easy to eat out,
23
especially if you work all the time and are too tired to cook.
24
But the cost really adds up and you don't know what restaurants are putting in the food.
25
So the best way to just make healthy choices and stay on top of your health goals is to meal prep.
26
When you're rushing between meetings and you need something quick,
27
the food is like right there and you don't even have to think about it.
28
And don't worry, I'm going to show you the exact meals I'm eating right now.
29
The very first thing I put in my body is lemon water.
30
You guys must be so sick of seeing this because I always show myself drinking it in my videos,
31
but I cannot talk about it enough.
32
Hydration first thing in the morning is so important.
33
After eight hours of sleep,
34
your body is like a raisin,
35
so you need to replenish all the fluids you lost at night to become a nice plump and juicy grape.
36
I don't know about you,
37
but chugging a ton of water first thing in the morning is really hard for me,
38
so that's why I squeeze half a lemon in it.
39
It just gives it some flavor,
40
and the vitamin C is really good for your skin and health.
41
I'm a little embarrassed to admit this,
42
but I am not doing workout classes anymore.
43
Well, I'm taking a break for now.
44
I don't know.
45
At first they were really good and I liked going to them.
46
But after a couple of weeks,
47
I started feeling extremely tired, like abnormally exhausted.
48
And my hunger just went through the roof.
49
Like the high intensity workouts were putting so much stress on my body.
50
I was eating everything in sight and I just felt really puffy and inflamed.
51
And that really messed with my body image.
52
So I decided to take a break and see how I felt and so far I feel a lot better.
53
I initially wanted to try workout classes because everyone in the city does them and to be honest,
54
I just wanted to fit in with everyone else but guys,
55
always listen to your body.
56
I realize my body is more sensitive to stress
57
and it takes me longer to recover after a hard workout but that's okay.
58
I don't need to be doing what everyone else is doing.
59
Plus, I was paying like $200 a month and only going three times a week
60
so it just like was not worth it in my opinion.
61
But this is me not trying to hate on workout classes.
62
If you like them, I love that for you.
63
They're just not right for me in this season of my life,
64
but who knows, maybe I'll try it again later.
65
For breakfast, I prioritize quick and easy foods
66
because mornings are just really busy for me and the last thing I'm thinking about is cooking.
67
That's why I love prepping chia seed pudding.
68
This week, I did a chocolate flavor using chocolate collagen powder.
69
It's so easy, it requires zero effort in the morning and you can take it on the go.
70
The collagen provides that protein and chia seeds have a lot of fiber,
71
which is great at keeping you full and providing that stable source of energy.
72
This will also make you very regular,
73
if you know what I mean.
74
Sometimes I eat this in the morning.
75
Sometimes I eat it at night for dessert.
76
It just depends how hungry I am in the morning.
77
And if you don't like chocolate,
78
you can also do a vanilla version,
79
cinnamon, matcha, or just add some fruits or granola on top.
80
If you guys have been following me for a while,
81
then you know I used to have some health issues,
82
especially my gut health.
83
I've had general gut dysbiosis,
84
candida, and some vitamin deficiencies.
85
So I took matters into my own hands and did my own research.
86
But unfortunately, with social media and the internet,
87
there's a ton of misinformation out there and brands that just promote a very inauthentic version of wellness.
88
So to just avoid all of that,
89
I wanted to speak to a specialist directly about my diet and I found the perfect dietitian for me through Nourish.
90
I needed someone who would walk me through my specific needs and goals and who would give me that specialized guidance.
91
And Nourish makes finding a professional so frictionless and easy.
92
They connect you with vetted registered dietitians who you meet with online.
93
And most of them specialize in a specific area like gut health,
94
women's health, hormones, etc.
95
This way you can get the specific help you need without having to physically go to a bunch of different offices,
96
which is a huge hassle.
97
I got connected with a dietitian super quickly and we went over my specific health goals,
98
history, and diet plan.
99
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

关于本课

在本课中,学习者将会结合视频内容,练习如何运用日常英语表达饮食习惯。我们将关注健康饮食的理念,学习如何在繁忙的生活中维持良好的饮食结构。通过对真实生活场景的模仿,学习者能够提高口语表达与听力理解,适应不同语速及语调,以便在日常交流中更加自信流畅。

关键词汇与短语

  • 饮食习惯 (dietary habits)
  • 健康 (healthy)
  • Meal prep (餐前准备) (meal prep)
  • 水合作用 (hydration)
  • 城市生活 (city life)
  • 高强度锻炼 (high-intensity workouts)
  • 控制饮食 (control diet)
  • 疲惫 (exhausted)

练习建议

对于非英语母语者来说,shadowing(影子跟读)是一种非常有效的练习方法。你可以选择视频中的短句,按照说话者的节奏与语调进行模仿。在此过程中,尽量模仿他们的发音和情感,这不仅能帮助你提高口语流利度,还能增强听力理解。考虑到视频中的说话者生活节奏较快,建议你先慢速播放视频,确保理解每个短语或句子的意思后,再逐渐提高语速练习。

在练习时,可以采用雅思口语练习的方法,利用关键词汇构建自己的句子。比如,当你说到“饮食习惯”时,可以具体描述自己的日常饮食,或是你如何进行“meal prep”。这样的练习不仅提升了你的语言能力,还能让你更加自信地进行真实交流。

同时,利用shadowspeak的技法,你可以在念出句子的同时,尝试理解说话者的意图或情感。这种方法有助于你在轻松的环境中习得英语,使你将来在不同场合下的交流更加自然流畅。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
