Tues 01-13 WLL ... A Day in the Life: Shanti

[mdsrasel]

Holla! Have you ever tried intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some unbelivable things about it and my friend lost tons of weight with it.

[ConstableSkinnyBtch]

I love this video! So inspiring!! I'm trying to do the same thing as you, today is my first day on my new journey to losing weight. You're so inspiring Shanti :)

[karissahasnerve]

Im sorry, Im not meaning this in a rude way....Im just curious- do you exercise?

[bigbitchification]

Nice vid.

[leikana]

I'm really looking forward to you (or Jason, or both of you :D) explaining the balanced diet "journal" that you made. I'm interested in figuring out what constitutes a starch, a meat, a fat, etc.

Please please please make that video! :D

+faved this video... I love it. Tots. And I think the music fits perfectly. <3

[cawthee]

I second this!

[fattygurlgone2slim]

Hey This video is so awesome. I love how everything flows. I love that idea of using the little boxes. What do the circles mean though? It through me off.

[Roses88]

Thanks for the reply Jason.. :D btw I love ur videos too .. :p

[xenpilot]

what song are u playing?

[Roses88]

Hi, shanti.. :) love ur videos..I've been following it for a while now..Can you give more detail on how u record ur food intake, just like what u've shown in this video..I think it might be useful for me.. :D..Thanks for being inspiration for me.. :D take care..!!!

[tbossbone]

It's a technique I taught her using ideals from Jenny Craig

[liplylips]

omg i love the idea of filling in the little squares of starch, meat, fat, etc...

Im sooooo using that!

[ByeByeBelly]

eek @ the amount of milk... milk sucks the calcium out of our bodies because of the acidity, that and the globules are too big and its the wrong constitution for human digestion/absorption

[mcremofann]

its heal this land i found it:)

[mcremofann]

i'm from all the way down from istanbul,turkey and i cant stop watching antishay and all the other great people

ur all amazing:) and this was an amazing video aaaand the song was amazing

whats the name of da song?

[maeberrie33]

What a great video...you really have an eye for what looks good and is very creative.  I'm going to make a chart/list like yours...I love to check off my to do list. Why not do it for my foods too

[leavitt6590]

Oh I meant to ask.

That little chart you have, can you explain it, or if you have in a video. Maybe I missed it?

The one where you fill in the little boxes.

It looks so handy!

[antishay]

:P

I've been trying to think about how to present all of it in a video and I still haven't figured it out... maybe someday!

[leavitt6590]

Hey! Great job on everything.

Your very pretty by the way.

I just came across your youtube channel and then saw this.

I loved the way you did this video, I hope to see more about your day and what you eat and what not.

Thanks much!

[IWantABritishAccent]

This was a very awesome video :D I thought the way you kept track of your different food groups was interesting, do you think you could do a video going more in depth on how you keep track of those?

[antishay]

Thank you :P

I've been trying to think about how to present all of it in a video and I still haven't figured it out... maybe someday!

[ByeByeBelly]

We have Celestial Seasonings in Australia too, it's really nice huh

[emopunkrockstar00]

man I never knew you could have so much good food with little calories wow. I just might try that.

[soonfully]

I really liked this video and found it most helpful. I wander if you could do another one as I have a hard time with food ideas that total to 1200 calories. thanks for the videp

[antishay]

I do cooking videos every now and again and I'm trying to get into the habit of making more :D I have a playlist on my channel (go to the playlists section and click "see all") of all of my cooking and recipe ideas, if you need some more.

Glad you liked the video :D

[BHYSKY]

Hello Shanti!!!

I started to see your videos the last week, and I´ve to tell you I LOVE U!!! You´re one of the most intelligent and cut girl that Í´ve seen before, and not only coz u´re really pretty if not because u´re the inspiration that people like me need to decide that we can change and be better pearsons.

Thanks a lot for all your tips, and for show us with your example all is possible!!!!

Kisses from Mexico!

[antishay]

Wow thank you!! Yay <33

xo

[DicleDaRiver]

im still trying to see how your body transformation is in the end or your total weight loss but couldnt see it, which video shows that? thanks

[antishay]

I'm not there yet! I still have 15-20 left to lose. When I hit 50 Lbs lost (5 more lbs) I'll do a progress video, but until then I'm holding off making a video to keep me working hard. Complacency is the ruin of me, so no celebratory video yet.

[DicleDaRiver]

well guess what.... you are such an amazing person for doing such a thing because I was in a really bad state in my life where i lost my confidence like totally, im 23 5'8'' aroung 180 pounds, i smoke too and go to school etc... i have gained like 50 pounds in 4 years ever since i came to the states... when i watched you video and saw how beautiful and much much better you look I said I can do it too... you are an inspiration girl, keep it up!

[antishay]

Thank you! :D

[CutTheFat]

You and Adam's food always look a MILLION times more appetizing than mine. LOL

[antishay]

Ahahahaha. Well Adam's looks 924593485 better than mine ;)

I just started to enjoy preparing and presenting food, sometime during this whole WL thing... and now the look is almost as important to the taste to me :)

It's like a way to enjoy food outside of just eating heaps of it.

[Repeatlessness]

Shanti, tears of love, joy and pride role down my cheeks as I sit in the wonder and beauty of who you are.

Thank you for being my daughter and thank for giving me the opportunity to be so proud of you.

I love you soooo much! Thank you honey

Dad

[antishay]

Thanks, Dad :D

<33

[ampkg]

plz tell wot song is this ?????

[antishay]

"Heal This Land' by Tina Malia

[win2477]

Now that's what i call a video! 10 out of 10

[antishay]

Thank you :D

[BrownBuna]

Kewlllllll

[majamrs]

Yay for Canon =D the only precious thing i own lol maybe i should starting making videos... T__T If i wasn't so camera shy.

Shanti, whats the name of your puppy ?

its adorable and little and...yuuumy... o.o looks enough for one dinner serving lol j/k

[antishay]

The puppy is Toby and he lives with my mom :D

[FoxyRoxySmile]

You are quite the artist! And your camera seems very high quality! What kind of camera do you use? I loved this video <3

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! I just use my Canon point-and-shoot camera that also has video... not like an amazing camera or anything but it is good quality :D

Thanks!

[lisabgreen512]

i like both versions shanti...but this song fits better in my own opinion :)

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks :) I think so too, now.

[majamrs]

LOL your just everywhere aren't you? XD

Well be it as it may, your a great inspiration and continue doing videos (especially this kind seen it at least 10 times)and ill be right behind you with weight-loss ^^

[weightlosslosers]

LOL thank you!

:)

Congrats and way to go!

[majamrs]

I dont get it. I figure for water (example) one square is a glass or a bottle? but how do you measure fat meat and such o.O??

[tbossbone]

it's a set number of exchanges determined by the plan I've put here on. There's specific guidelines that determine what serving sizes of what foods qualify to be a meat, and a fat, etc.

[weightlosslosers]

I'm going to do a video about all of this soon - I'm still figuring it out :D

One square for me is 10 oz. I have 9 boxes (90 oz) that I want to always drink, plus an additional 5 boxes (up to 140 oz total) in case I want it.

[Vendoral33]

You are so inspireing.

I live in Hungary, so you can see how far you can reach. This is yet again a great video, with great music too. Thanks to you I am so excited about my own diet, witch I am doing now.

Great job, by the way you look amazing now.

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! WOW I am so glad that you watch :D

Thanks! <3

[flashlight67]

That´s a fantastic video, great editing, doesn´t get boring at all.

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! :P

[XBellaSoleilX]

Very awesome video.

I've never seen diets portrayed so artistically!

All your food looked yummy too. ;)

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! LOL yay diets? No, it's a LIFESTYLE! That's it.

<33 Thanks!

[xjaeva]

what you eat= diet

I didn't know how else to phrase it...my bad

[XBellaSoleilX]

oops...Xjaeva is me...

[antishay]

LOL yeah I figured you knew - people read thought the comments though and I thought I should clarify :D

<33

[majamrs]

well... I seen your old video and I seen your new one ( a few times) and the only thing i can say is.... THAT YOUR NEW ONE IS WAY BETTER THEN THE OLD ONE!! My opinion at least...

The new song is awesome and it matches the clips way better. ^^

[weightlosslosers]

HAhah thank you! Yeah, I think I prefer this one too now. <3

[simplystrick]

The singer is Tina Malia - CD is The Silent Awakening - song is "Heal this World."

[barbarasboi]

can somebody please tell me what instrumental song is that at the end of the video? i love it!

[weightlosslosers]

At the very end of the video? It's a track called Pendulim by Apple - it's just copyright-free music by Apple for iMovie users ;)

<3

[kristine0002]

shanti, you should be very proud of this video.. i think it was amazing. i loved the way you filmed it and there were certain times when i just loved the camera angles. Wonderful video <3

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you so much :D <33

[digupmyheart]

I really love how you edited this video. I watched your original music video, and I actually prefer this one up on YouTube for the video myself. Well done :)

[SickOfBeingFat]

[weightlosslosers]

You're welcome! I'm so happy I gave you ideas. I got great ideas from all the other WLL people this week - so exciting!

<3

[bran098]

This was beautifully done! Creatively shot, haunting music, and dare I say...slightly poignant?

Now I have something to look forward to on Tuesdays. :)

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you so much :D

[allisonsfat]

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you!

[Nicsaprincess]

I love the Music.

What Brand of Rice Mix was that? It looked Delish.-N

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you!

The rice mix was Near East chicken-flavored rice pilaf. I make it in a pot like it says and then 5 minutes before it's done I throw in a bunch of spinach and mushrooms and let them cook with the rice. Yum!

[Finding1derland]

awesome video! I loved the music too.

[weightlosslosers]

Yay! Thanks :D

[sushicatny]

great video, great music, way to go, great job!

[weightlosslosers]

[Szandorina]

[weightlosslosers]

Yay! Tina Malia - CD is The Silent Awakening - song is "Heal this World"

[JillianKD]

loved the video

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks!

[Rachele77]

Hey Shanti, What type of Camera did you use for this video? It was beautifully put together. R

[weightlosslosers]

I use a Canon PowerShot SD1000 - it's just a little point-and-shoot camera that films too. :D The camera is only half the game - the quality of video also has a lot to do with lighting and lenses :P I used the in-camera macro for most of this.

When you see me sitting in the chair I'm just using the iSight camera inside my MacBook Pro ;)

[apriltx]

Great video!  Are you a vegetarian?

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! No, but I eat very little meat because I was raised vegetarian and it's just not that natural for me.

[joonzgurl]

I love your video! Awesome! This group is so awesome and I am so glad that I found it!

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! YAY WLL!

[alenajay]

You're right the middle bit is great! but I do think it's nice to know that other people sit on their computers til early hours. lol.

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks :) LOL!

[weightloss00]

wow you are great at cooking arent u??? and i love those editing skills of yours!!!!

[weightlosslosers]

HAHahahah no I'm not! :D I just do easy recipes that I have mastered :P

Thank you so much!

[weightloss00]

lol well those recipes look great lol!!!!

ur welcome!!!!

by the way i love your videos!!!!!

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! :D

[Szandorina]

I´m always enjoying your videos!

Could someone tell me what starch means? I can´t find a translation into german what explains it really to me...

[weightlosslosers]

Starch is like... carbohydrates. Foods that are a "starch" are foods with lots of carbohydrates and very little fat or protein.

:D

[locadear]

carbohydrates can be divided into starch (long chain carbohydrates) and sugar (short chain carbs). So a starch is a "subgroup" of a carb.

Unlike sugar, starch is not sweet ( examples: flours, rice, pasta, breads, potatoes, corn, doughs)

[paul20072007]

The food looks great, and your videography is really well done and edited. "Sexy food" even before we reached the shower scene!!

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you so much :D

LOL

[FindingKristy]

That was an awesome video! I really enjoyed it very much :) Great work!

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks, Kristy!

[TurboCourtney]

Great Editing, I really enjoyed it. And I love that song!

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! Yeah, I love the song too :D

[PinkRainToday]

I liked your little boxes that you coloured in, I might just do that! :D

[weightlosslosers]

Yay, ideas! Yeah - it really helps keep me on track.

[deasteinwand]

Loved this video!!! Great job!!! Im in eastern wa state.

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! GO WA!

[l3rownEyedl3ella]

I absolutely love the way that you compiled this video. Definitely rated a 5/5! The song is fabulous and your dog is adorable! Your meal plan is fantastic as well :)

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you so much!

Tat's Toby, My mom's dog. :P

Yay!

[avarielle015]

Awesome video, I love the editing! You put a lot of work into what you eat. Way to go!

[justacameragirl]

great video!

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks!

[weightlosslosers]

LOL thank you but I don't! Everything I made there took less than 5 minutes, except for the time the rice had to sit in the pot... or the veggie prep, which probably took 6 minutes... ;)

I am super lazy when it comes to food - the easier/faster, the better.

[avarielle015]

Well maybe not a lot of time on the prep and cooking, but a lot of time to figure out what's in your food and that it adds up to what you need for it to be balanced. Like the fat etc. I don't really pay attention to that stuff. Just calories, and I try to stay organic when I can. You're doing so good!

[antishay]

True... lol, I don't even think about it anymore. Thank you!

[KarlaKayM]

AMAZING....I loved loved loved it! Very creative Shanti.....:-)

[weightlosslosers]

Yay! Thank you so much!

[flabalicious]

You're so artsy fartsy. :)

[weightlosslosers]

lol thanks

[PimmyPammy]

hey! Great video. I saw this folder with check with squares filled in...what is that?

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you.

What? You mean my notebook? That's just my notebook that I use to track my food every day. I'm following Jenny Craig exchanges as my guide to more balanced eating, so I use the boxes to mark off what I've eaten as I eat it.

Is that what you are asking about? :)

[angelgaia]

Loved the granola! What brand is it?

[weightlosslosers]

It comes from a bin at Central Market (Whole Foods)... I don't know the brand ;_; Sorry!

<3

[crookedstevesaint]

very well done. i loved the rice and mushrooms.

what are you doing with the funnel? Just purifying or something?

Keep playing with the format of your vids...this one really ruled.

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you :D

The rice and mushrooms is SO easy - 1 box Near East chicken-flavored rice pilaf. 5 minutes to finish, mix in a handful of fresh spinach and then throw all your sliced fresh mushrooms on top of the rice and cover again (leave mushrooms on top). Then 2 minutes to the end, mix the mushrooms in with the rice and spinach. Voilà ;)

It's like the easiest meal ever. 3 servings of 220 calories each. Like... no fat. And YUM.

Thanks so much re: the video. I had a lot of fun :D

<33

[weightlosslosers]

Oh and with the funnel I am just funneling. It makes refilling my water bottle mucho easier.

[leomoonbaby]

I really enjoyed this video. Also I think it is fantastic that you can get organic, fair trade coffee from a drive thru. I'd love it if we had that where I live. Great job and great eating! I'm off to buy some blueberries.

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks :)

Yeah, here in Seattle... we have heaps of green, natural, organic stuff. Caffe Ladro is one of several local chains that serve only organic coffee :D

Thank you again!!

yay blueberries

[imahappycat]

The videos are put up so late that we in NY see them a day late.

[weightlosslosers]

;_;

[habitformed]

OMG, I had eggs and bell peppers last night for dinner!

[weightlosslosers]

Awesome!

[rae4osu]

you're so amazing. this channel is amazing. Keep up the fab work sweetie. Thanks for being so inspirational... you have no idea what you do for your viewers. :)

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you so much! <33333

:)

[wickymay]

love it!!

i will try everything i saw on this vid. specially the snacking thing and early dinner!!

[weightlosslosers]

Wow awesome! Thank you!

[rugratstar]

Your dinner looked sooo good! Reminded me of an inside out omlet thingie...lol. Thanx for this!

[weightlosslosers]

Thanks :D And inside-out-omelet for sure.

[chicharwali]

bloody heck! thats alot of food and so less calories... im so suprised...

can u tell me where u get the calories info from.

i hve 3 egg whites and 6 baby tomotoes and half an onion that i scramble together... with salt and pepper. how many calories is that? and how much fat?

[weightlosslosers]

LOL yeah, I get the calories mainly from calorie-count. com, although all labeled foods have the calories and portions them already, so I use the nutrition labels mostly.

That meal is about 60-70 calories (depending on the size of your onion) and not even 0.5g fat.

[weightywonderwoman]

WOW I'm impressed. This was awesome. I could watched it all day and still find something fascinating in it!!!

BTW Is the puppy yours? Totally adorable.

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! Wow - cool! :D

Noo :( He is my mom's. Well, years ago when I lived at home and he really was a puppy, he was "mine" but he lives with my mom. I could take him anytime I wanted to, but I travel too much to have a dog.

<3

[imahappycat]

Such a lovely video. Music was perfect. Guess Monday was not a gym day!

Topic idea: How to handle those times when you just want to pig out.

Thank you!

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you so much :D

No, it would have been a gym day but I'm crazy busy this week for a lot of reasons. AGH. Next week my schedule is EMPTY (thank heavens) and I will be able to work out regularly once more.

I did 18 push ups though!

[JanoelT]

Well put together. Wow, 1200 calories! That is amazing. I am definitely taking notes.

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! :D Is it amazing? Yay!

[waterchicklet]

I thought your creative vision with this was way incredible. I'm super curious what program you were using to chat with people on video.

Also super excited to hear someone else saves calories for evening, like I do, I get so sick of people saying not to eat past 8P. Oi. And you put super quantities of veg in your eggs... yay, as do I.

MP3's are encoded and I think YT has a program to scan for specific ones and auto-reject.

:) Heather

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! :D I was in Yahoo messenger. I use skpye also, but usually just to talk to overseas friends who don't use Y!M.

Yay for calorie planning! I have to be snacking... so yeah. :D Were so similar!

Ahhh that would make sense. Clever, them

<3

[TheStarvingTenor]

On a side note, this video and all the angles are very sexy, like "Everyday Italian" with Giada.

Great Work Shanti, absolutely fantastic... this doesn't sound like Genesis though? (LMAO, *runs off*)

[weightlosslosers]

Thank you! I don't know who she is or how food could be sexy, but thanks anyway?

*CRIES*

[TheStarvingTenor]

Shanti... you rated your own video.. wtf.

[blueeyedbetty]

I rated mine! <3

[weightlosslosers]

See!
