MY 400 LB LIFE: WHAT I ATE TODAY TO LOSE WEIGHT (LOW CARB)

2019-03-19 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 24 min

Chantal shares a full day of eating on a low-carb plan prescribed by an obesity doctor and nutritionist, filmed as a driving vlog plus at-home clips. She shows her first meal (Starbucks grande iced coffee with almond milk and two ham-cheddar-peppers egg bites), shops for cat food and groceries (including Tiki Cat wet cat food), discusses medication timing, sleep and CPAP mask costs, and walks through the groceries she bought (tuna in water, Laughing Cow cheese, celery, salted almonds, turkey pepperettes, strawberries, romaine, eggs, Renee's creamy dill & cucumber dressing). Later she snacks on celery with Laughing Cow cheese and almonds, prepares a dinner of meatloaf with melted cheese and a big salad with creamy dill-cucumber dressing, and has sugar-free jello with strawberries and whipped cream for dessert. She explains how she tracks servings/"serving points," practices intermittent fasting (eating window goal), and plans to focus on the new eating plan before ramping up exercise.
