Weight Loss 101 (Food Talk and Sample Menus)!!!

[Lucian4real1]

What you said about drinking water instead of high calorie drinks throughout the day is so true. It worked for me a few months ago, but i was not consistent in my exercise and gained some of the weight back. Also, i found that eating whole wheat stuff like bread, pasta, even wraps, really helped. Thanks for the information, even though Im seeing this video almost 2 years after, LOL

[Arshaun01]

hey girl,about your nutritional tracker were talking about.. i use FITDAY.COM, it is great!\

[weightjourney2011]

I'm not trying to be rude or attack her argument...but I think it matters what type of person you are, and how you handle things. I decided to become a vegetarian one day and from that point on I have never had meat nor have I had the craving for it. If your hearts in it there is no need to wing yourself from them. I think people need to keep in mind what they are aiming for not what they miss :) Congrats on all your success.

[iluvrafaelnadal1]

Just a friendly question: "sushi is a treat"? its raw fish. wouldn't that be something we can eat in the strict part of the week?

[qlamorissKAT]

i know im a year late on wathcing this video , but its still inspirational & i have one question. what was yur tarqet calorie count for each day if yu had one ???

[MaryEmerson80]

I am very super interested in this diet. I like meat esp ground turkey and roast chicken and grilled steak so I can do the protein aspect. i would miss carbs but I really, truly want to be a more thin person and feel confident. I do exercise but it isnt; enough any more. aging is hard and my metabolism is slowing. cant wait to get this book when it comes out.

[Chinaboo94]

Hey Ms.Nina. My name is China, and Im in the 10th grade. I wanted to know what scholarships that have recieved or recieved? Do you have any suggestions about college, or getting scholarships to pay for med school or anything like that?

[SimplyJoy18]

@Chinaboo94 hon, try fastweb.com it has a plethora of scholarships for every major, grade level, and other stuff available. good luck

[cocoaisbeautiful]

you can find the drink packets at the dollar store too ya'll!

[theburg727]

SparksPeople has a great food tracker.

[09AshMck]

Blessings and favor i know that there is a website called mypyramid.gov and it is so helpful you can sign in or not and track your calorie intake and it tells you what and where your calories went and how much of different nutritional things were in there and whats not. check it out really helpful

[kinday7]

You are the best!!!!! =)

[dudehere1981]

thank you for the tips!! I have lost almost 50 lbs in the last 4 months and still counting just by tips with calorie reduction and doing some weights. Mostly eating right and high proteins I feel great! Thank you!

[LiveDreamBe]

Me and my sister REALLY appreciate your videos. They give us TONS of inspiration (natural hair AND weight loss for ME). But I just wanted to let you know, I was watching Oprah one day they ACTUALLY said that regular thin sliced bacon is healthier than Turkey Bacon...because turkey bacon is processed. But it seems to be working for you so hey...do you! LOL

[Yonnabelle]

I work @ McDonalds. Wish me luck lol

[cocoaisbeautiful]

@Yonnabelle ooooo girl i know that's hard! you can do it though!

[p03ticuti3]

@Yonnabelle oh my lol Good luck girl you can do it!

[p03ticuti3]

@Yonnabelle oh my lol Good luck girl you can do it!

[iamdiamonte]

I so hope you get your OWN show. I have seen some of the other entries...you have the IT factor. That is what Oprah is looking for.

[MsCbonner]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO AND THE FOOD MENUS! THEY ARE SO SIMPLE TO FOLLOW IM SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE VIDEOS.

[Sahiralyn]

how much time do you wait in-between eating snacks and meals?

[plushrisa]

thanks for the video. it was very informative. you made me realize that eating isn't my problem since i eat just about the same way from your sample menus. my problem is getting my fluffy self active and start a workout regime. lol.

[speczwifey09]

Hey i love your videos!....but something i noticed is most of the foods you named are very unhealthy n processed...they are low fat which is great but you need to be careful of the ingredients...for example crystal lite and diet sodas are filled w/ artificial sweetners. Just because something says low fat doesnt mean its healthy because 9 times outta 10 they use a chemical to make the food low fat. like i would never buy low fat ice cream...i would buy organic ice cream and watch my serving size

[ladycateyes]

i love it

[ladycateyes]

wow!! girl your video is soooo true!!!! and i love the way you think!!!!!

[klascone]

Thanks for another great vid, do you consume any meats now or did you completely wing away all meat?

[24mistyblue]

what kind of vitamin do you take

[leigh4health]

You are so right about what you said in this video. This is my year to lose my weight. I am doing the EXACT same thing. I make my own train mix. I drink more water, I have cut back on meats and increased my veggies and fruit. I have switched to low calorie snacks and hummus as well as watching what I eat while eating out. I am working my way toward a more vegetarian lifestyle. Most of all I am detoxing and getting rid of the stored toxic fats! You are on point

[kemoja]

Thanks so much for this video!!! I don't believe in "dieting" either because you are more inclined to quit. Thanks for the inspiration.

[LittlePinky82]

I think the Ziploc bag is a good idea. It's a good tool. :) And I agree with not going cold turkey on things. I tried that once with sugar and sweet stuff and let's say it didn't work haha. Learned from that one. Glad you don't like dieting either. :) I don't like cheat days though. I just watch my calories and you have more options with being smart about it. :)

[fififoofoo]

I really love your videos. Thanks for spreading such good information to others!

[Neeqd]

OMG... I've been waiting for this from you! Thank you soooooo much for this one Nina!

<3 Neeq

[sweetkisses4uonly]

what is the song in the beginning

[cookie75503]

great series of videos they came at a really good time for me

[smblyther]

Thank you for this vid! What is your take on Italian ice??? I eat those instead of ice cream if I want something sweet. I also like your sample menu presentation, broken down for everyone, Vegetarian, semi-vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

[luvsbuffgurls]

i must luv ruff if u look ruff lol and wow such good tips and ideas and ur so pretty and so sexi fit, i luv how ur muscles look, so shapely, so sexi, and so smart that's sexi too. much luv sweetie.

[sweetuMP]

I wish you all the best for Oprah Contest!! btw...Do you have glasses bc I think you might be nearsighted! The reason I am saying is bc I see you squitting all the time in your videos! btw...I am an optometrist!

[vida130]

Great menu ideas!! I have learned to pair a lean protein with a carb for every meal ie. 12 almonds with a fuit, 2 oz chicken breast with a cup of steam veg, guacamole with a corn tortilla. My body loves and craves the good stuff now!!

[willijahtv]

hey girly... sparkpeople is a good site (nutrition tracker etc)

[shannonsurreal]

you look really good in this video. I hope I look good as you when i lose all my weight.

[beautynlove]

Thank you sooo much for doing this. God is going to bless you for actually taking the time to help his people. You are an inspiration.

[lovejone1]

Thank you for sharing... Now I have some new ideas for meals. One of my favorite snacks are the Quakers mini rice cakes... nice variety of flavors (cheese, caramel apple, chocalate) that help those 'old' cravings!

[evita7101989]

thank u

[beautyuhate]

I love the video. But I swear I do not know why I can not stop my craavingsssss! Its like ever since I broke into the 120s I just can not stop these vicious craving attacks lol. What would you recommend? ;D

[ashlypeacelovell]

@beautyuhate how many calories are eating, bc cravings could be caused from not eating enough calories or not drinking enough water. Hope this helps even though it is 3 months later.

[iloveshawnu]

you are amazing!!!!!!!!!

[Natraleefree]

Very good video!

[mcgeechevelle]

Thank you! So helpful!

[abawitx]

Thanks a bunch girl. The water part is the hardest for me because I tend not to drink enough fluids during the day. Great info. Good luck with the Oprah contest!

[glitterandglueforyou]

Skinny Cow is amazing. I love their sandwiches and bars. I don't know how they do it, but everything tastes just like full fat ice creams and it takes my sweet tooth away just like that.

[DollyMat]

You gave some great advice there miss' you look fantastic. Looking at your pics from at start of your vid i think im quite close to your second pic. Its definatley about the lifestyle change which ive done. Still on that road, keep up the good work!!

[sOn1N3feS]

I love you...you are so smart and I love the way you talk...you should be a personal trainer!!!! =)

[cstyle1982]

[LiVeRNoOdLe]

OMG it is soooooo true!!!! Water is great for weight loss. It speeds your metabolism, purifies your body and fills you.

[hiddenjewel7]

thanks for the help!

[embracinmyself]

Hey Nina.. I wanted to mention a site called sparkpeople ... It has a free nutriton and workout tracker.. Very resourceful site.

[TheLostgrl]

Have u tried vitamuffins..they r full of fiber and natural..there very good..

[obamatherealdeal08]

Can u plz give a list of foods that I can buy to eat for breakfast & lunch? I can cook but I just don't have the time to do it. So I go all day without eating until after 2:00 in the daytime. I am a college student & I have class @ 8 am. I need foods tht I can eat on the go. I literally have to force myself to eat in the morning now since I started to eat healthy about 3 wks ago.  Also I eat out alot @ McD, Subway, Taco Bell, can u do a video on how to eat better at fast food places?

[bebegurl31291]

That is so true RED MEAT is not good for anybody!!!!!!!!! We all need to eat leaner meats like turkey, and chicken. not fried but baked:) ANd frozen yougurt is the best thing you can get when it comes to ice cream, because ice cream is PURE FAT. Salted nuts are the best snack that you can have. Great advice

[up4itgal]

just write an e book Nina

[caimee32]

This vid is by far THE most helpful one I have ever seen! Thank u soo much for sharing your knowledge with us all!

[MsBlackBeautee]

....what is a substitute for MacDonalds fries...please help

[luvmysweetcheeks]

thanks for the support and great viseos..i'm working towards a healthy lifestyle, and i dont have a problem eating well, i just have a problem eating enough.This really helped me!

[shannie8163100]

I am so discouraged I started my weight loss last year at 215 I am now at 177 and been stuck at this plateau for 6 months I boosted my workout to an 1 hour a day m-f still not seeing results I recently got stressed and went up to 182 heeellppp!!!!! IM ready to give up.

[bebegurl31291]

@shannie8163100_ suggest that you start to look at your calorie intake.... workouts are simple- burn more than you eat in calories= weight loss, burn less= weight gain,

burn equal= weight maintained. if you drink a lot of juice, try switching to green tea/ tea and see if that helps. i lost ten punds in 2 weeks just by doing so:)

[lovelysista]

@shannie8163100 feel the same way ..its so very very hard...but dont give up , you will feel even worst when u gain all the weight back

[SpoeG3]

You need your own show and I would totally watch. You are such an inspiration!! Love all your videos!

[ProjectSkinnyBitch]

I think you absolutely deserve to have your own show, that would be amazing! Also, I really love this series, thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks with us. :)

Thanks for the information and time that you put in to make the series. Spark people have a nutrition tracker that is free. Keep the video's coming!

[1cutefox]

A couple of years ago you did a segment of you walking through your kitchen and showing some of the things you have in your kitchen do you still have that video? That really helped with grocery shopping.

[Tesha410]

thanks for sharing

[cint23]

thanks!

[MzSassyScorpio]

Great vid. I havent tried the Boca brand veggie burgers, but I have tried the Gardenburger brand and they were salty to me. I want to suggest a brand of veggie burger that I love...its made by Don Lee Farms. Yummy. They are sold at Cotsco in my state, but other states sell them at more stores.

[niaranyela]

I agree with the simplicty. I've tried with things that were way too complicated. Good info.

[hinamori102]

You are so beautiful!!! You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for everything!!! :o)
