[musicjunkieism]

stopping drinking milk? that sounds nuts.

[uhaveprettyeyes]

[loveordie37]

[amberelrod8]

I know you can get the naked juice in the uk at like the wholefoods london store, strabucks, waitrose or ocado.com depends which ones your looking for i think you can only get green machine on ocado or wholefoods.

[ImJustSayinnnnn]

@laraangelina shes wearing lip gloss and eyeliner..........thats not a lot..

[hairyfrankfurt]

I love So Good Vanilla Soy Milk =)

[candig1987]

Did you like the sour cream?

[catinash]

it's wrong..when you came in this world...your first meal was milk..

milk is very important in your nutrition!

[thelovelymango]

@catinash yeah but thats breast milk not cows milk

[retrolove321]

what lipgloss or lipstick are you wearing in this video?? thanks

[luvmkup]

I never drink milk. I haven't drunk it since I was 25. I read a book called "Don't Drink Your Milk."

[MaDiSoN22696]

yay! for being vegitarian :) me too. orange looks really good on you :)

[nakedlunch89]

brit, what are you going to college for?

[PinkCalhoun]

Jillian Micheals researched with many Endocrinologist how soy milk, soy oil, basically soy has a lot of estrogen in it which can dis balance hormones causing weight gain.. but you seem to be fine with your weight since you have been drinking it for ever and you have been slim all your life... I guess it affects people differently... Thanks for the info...

[collinsvega]

Hey!

Do you have any other blogs to reccomend.

I love reading blogs and i cant find any fitness blogs that are geared toward people my age( 20)

Really informative video, thanks =)

[chelseaa321]

how do u eat so little?! i think i would faint during the day lol one thing i wanted to try was eating more natural foods that come from the earth and less processed foods which is hard because i love snacking! goodjob on being vegetarian!!

[chelseaa321]

lol nvm i just realized thats is basically what the round food diet is haha

[LosersRock047]

Blueberry mini wheats are my favorite cereal too!! :) This is a great video! I just subscribed!

[brittkneegirl1]

thank you :]

[beeasays]

thanks for the vid! orange is a really good color on you btw aha :)

[TerBeCC]

and i exercise more then enough.

[TerBeCC]

and i am a Vegan. lol

[brittkneegirl1]

you might have a other problem that cause your body to gain weight you should explian that to your doctor i know there are a few disorders with with symptom. also it may just be genetics?

[TerBeCC]

okay, thank you.. and i dont think there is any genetic issue like this, but yeah thanks.

[brittkneegirl1]

sometimes your body can have a thyriod problem or something along the lines of that

[TerBeCC]

okay, ill have to make a doctores appointment, also my mom has a question.. Do you know what things you can get a lot or protein from? that arnt so pricey

[brittkneegirl1]

beans have a lot of protein (i get cans come costco and they average for about 50cents a can and the can with vegatables is a good dinner for two)

nuts have a lot of protein too (peanut butter is cheap)

whole grains also have protein

Lentils have TONS of protein, next is black beans, and then kidney beans, and finally pinto

also so do soy products

even things like potatoes (very cheap), and broccoli have protein.

[TerBeCC]

okay, thanks a ton! i love your videos by the way, they help a lot ! my mom even likes watching them! Thank you =]

[TerBeCC]

this is a quick question.. Though i dont knwo if you will get back to this.. Ive ate healthy my whole life, and i dont over eat. and dont eat out mostly veg. and fruits. and soups.. but im still over weight, so what can i do? ive tryed everything and nothing helps.

[raindrops1313]

I LOVE MINI WHEATS:]

[iameiamfree]

There is no way to eat healthy in this country if you don't cook the food yourself. Literally everything found in stores is made of genetically modified ingredients. Think sugar is bad? Aspartame is bad, (high fructose) corn syrup is bad. Niacin, enriched XYZ is bad, Mono-sodium glutamate (MSG) is bad, soy-based food is bad. The food industry is about profit not about health. It's about more, bigger and cheaper products. Do some research on the risks of the ingredients you are consuming daily.

[melzio69]

i liked this . could you do more nutrition, good-for-you kind of vids?

=]

nice vid btw

[brittkneegirl1]

there's a new one up! :]

[tiffanybreunig]

It's actually not natural for our human bodies to drink cow's milk. It's not good for you. On the other hand it IS good for toddlers to drink whole milk because they need the fat.

[christy1684]

I know, cow milk is just like drinking empty calories. We cannot absorb the calcium in the milk. Unfortunately, I still drink it, but not often. I love lentil soup! MMMM now I'm hungry..

[robynrheaa]

i believe that too.. but no one ever does! my boyfriend thinks that its rediculous to think that.. but i totally think the way you do about cows milk :)

[mswhitxO0]

Great video, love your shirt! x

[xxlyricallullabyxx]

im partially lactose intolerant and you're right. SILK is great =) the chocolate is healthy and good =))

[heartsrlovable]

im 5"3 n 98 pounds..i eat a lot but dont gain alot of weight which is weird n kinda good for me so i dont get fat lol

[heartsrlovable]

milk gives u good calcium...fat free milk or 2% is what i get but not whole milk

[misstemeanor]

what lipstick are you wearing in this video britt?

[brittkneegirl1]

front lit

[cheerbearx0]

I found this really helpful, thank you so much! For me, little tips like this make a huge difference :)

[justinearmijo]

milk does not make you grow taller.. thats whack,, shecklerfan 715.. great video britt!

[SheckleRFan715]

Is milk makes you grow taller??

anyone?

[omgnowayitsheather]

it helps you bones grow and become stronger only because it has calcium

[dollforlife193]

im 5'3 and weigh 97, ...am i under weight or healthy??

[ohhbrittnayyy]

yaaay i loveeee silk. im vegan and its not hard at all. soy delicious makes the bessst fake ice cream. mocha almond fudge is amazing

[Val1436]

x3thatsRADx

I don`t think you are doing the right thing

I mean not eating fish when you`re like 14 and you`re growing up come on where on earth are you going to find omega 3

you should be eating it at least once a week

[ilovestars]

My boyfriend and I became vegetarian around the same time and now he's vegan. He's gotten me into a lot of the "vegan rules" as I put it such as not eating gelatin etc.

I noticed you eat the mini wheat's and if you're going to stop eating gelatin [which I saw you commented about how you saw what it was] I'm pretty positive that gelatin is in that cereal because that used to be my favorite. It's in a lot of candy and even some nail polish remover!

Try almond milk it's delicious.

[ohhbrittnayyy]

ya im vegan an i noticced alot of times vegetarians eat gelatin still, but they cant really consider themselves a veggie cuz gelatin is made from animal skin and bones and tendons..ew.

[m3llyH3r01n3]

that's why they are called vegetarians and not vegans

[ohhbrittnayyy]

right but vegetarians dont eat animals and animal body parts so why would they eat animal bones and skin?

[brittkneegirl1]

yup i'm cutting out gluetin

[ilovestars]

A lot of vegetarians drink milk and stuff too. that's why there is a huge difference between vegans and vegetarians. Majority of people don't even know what gelatin is.

[MeganJennae18]

Pleasee do a video on how to do this look!!! i love it!!

[pinklill]

mmm beans n feta and red peppers n sour cream sound delish! you should make us a tutorial!

and I love the idea of you doing a daily healthy recipe form your mom... make sure to show us how to cook it too :)

I am 5"3 but I weigh like 121 and I wanna get down to 110. But my prob is Im a carb addict :( I love pizza, pasta, potatoes all the bad stuff and I love all cheese :(

[ajhuhoh]

PS thank you for making this video, I'm glad someone did, there are so many bad foods out there that people are unaware of full of sugar, preservatives and genetically modified foods. :)

[ajhuhoh]

You should try making your own juices instead of buying them :)

By the time you drink a premade juice it has lost it's nutritional benefits, because juice needs to be consumed within 15 minutes of being extracted. Being stored in a clear container and shipped around doesn't protect many vitamins and minerals.

But if your just drinking it for enjoyment, then your choice is probably alot better then the other drinks you can get out there :)

[ImaginaryWhisper]

I love videos like these, yay!

[cnarikx3]

can you pleasee do a tutorial on this

[iluvvmusic101]

i think this is faith because I wanted to be more healthier and then i see this video and im like yay! I am so gonna do your mom's diet it looks really good.

[OffTheWallBeauty]

i think you mean "fate" and not "faith" lol

[iluvvmusic101]

thanks for tellin me :)

[peacebrittily]

your shortttttt (:

[xbellababii]

Love this video! you should do an exercise video! =)

[ReaLkiiss]

hi you are hot, my step brother would like you, hes hot as hell

[Singinggril]

thanks .....this video is really helpful

[exHOTlc]

is milk bad for you? i drink 1%, do you think thats bad for me? and i buy it in a carton from a store and everybody else in my city buys that carton too

[christy1684]

Something delicious and nutrition that I eat weekly is lentil soup. OMG its so good and easy to make. Simmer a bag of lentils from the store with diced tomatoes and onions added for 45 mins, partially covered with a lid. Then add about a tsp or so of salt and then serve. Its sooo yummy!!! Especially with cornbread.

[tiffanybreunig]

I had homemade lentil soup and corn bread for dinner just the other night! good stuff.

[brittkneegirl1]

just found that out!

[XxTEChNOKiWixX]

wht's wrong with milk ?

it's delicious. :D

[brittkneegirl1]

Its fattening, high in cholesterol, the cows that producing the milk live in unnatural unhealthy conditions (the milk can contain blood, feces, antibiotics, growth hormones which then go into your body). Also the protein you receive from milk you do not get unless your eating it with magnesium (which is y cereal companies spray there cereal with it).

[alyaddict]

whats the difference between almon milk and soy milk diff milks compared to regular milk? r the other milks better

[ilovestars]

Almond milk is from ground almonds and soy milk is from soy beans and rice milk is from well rice duh. all three of these milks are way better for you then regular milk. Cow milk has traces of blood, feces, pus and a bunch of other things.

From drinking these other milk options you not only get a bunch of great vitamins for you, you're saving a cow from the inhumane process it goes through. Just you tube search anything with animal rights/cruelty/abuse and you'll find tons more information.

[imonfire95]

Thanks so much for making this video AND for the links! :) I'm definitely going to check them out and take your advice! (:

[x3thatsRADx]

i'm newly 14 and i've been a vegetarian since i was twelve. i completely cut out all meat, chicken, fish, and gelatin. i never drank milk purely because i don't like it. but, i still have ice cream and products with cheese, but currently, i'm looking for cheese/butter alternatives.

and btw, frosted mini wheats have gelatin, which comes from animal bones. try Post shredded wheat -- it has no gelatin and tastes the same!

[brittkneegirl1]

ew i just looked up gelatin and thats SO gross haha

[ecobcbarff]

feta is the only cheese i like!

[stephaniixox]

I LOVE soymilk

ive been drinking it since i was little

the original one does not have as much sugar as the vanilla

though the vanilla does taste better haha

[brittkneegirl1]

haha yeah now that ive tried the vanilla it will be hard to go back!

[ParadeOf91]

thanks for this video, brit!

good luck with going vegetarian! i became a vegetarian after watching that "meet your meat" video. i feel so bad for those animals!

[daniellekling93]

God my family eats like shit, but were not fat. 5'4 110, and athletic, but i feel like i would feel more energetic and better.. have any ideas on how to convert my family?

[brittkneegirl1]

Just let them know that they could have really good genes that makes them "skinny fat" where they appear skinny and healthy because they have a fast metabolism but they are still hurting on the inside. Just as unhealthy as someone who eats like them but weighs twice as much. Also eating healthy doesn't really take more time, maybe at first since your getting used to something new and its around the same money!

[elysssssssssax]

this is soooooooooooo weird .

my mom was a body builder before i was born , and she had cancer too !

[brittkneegirl1]

Oh that is a coincidence, but i hope shes alright!

<3

[ClaraBaaabyx]

SODA HAS NONEXISTENT NUTRITION & CAUSES CANCER. IT ALSO CAN CAUSE LACK OF CALCIUM IN YOUR BONES WHICH CAUSES OSTEOPOROSIS. SODA MAKES YOU FAT, UNHEALTHY, DEHYDRATED, & ITS PRETTY MUCH POISON ON THE MARKET.

=]

everyone's fat now because they are lazy and don't care about their health. the states have a bad reputation cuz everyonoe eats unhealthy and is overweight or obese.

[hmmmmm1988]

Yeah I'm vegan and soya makes me feel just as shitty as regular dairy stuff. It's so processed and I don't believe it's healthy in the slightest, to be honest.

[brittkneegirl1]

try rice or almond milk

[brittkneegirl1]

well not everyone! lol but yes most people are overweight

[ClaraBaaabyx]

86% of americans are overweight or obese.

that's alot. :/

[kawaiisaki]

cows these days are fed with high chemically processed foods. So you can imagine how their milk will turn out. Soy products raise estrogen levels in males aswell

[brittkneegirl1]

yeah i heard so im trying out rice milk

[0MariiJane0]

yumm.. i lloooovee feta cheese! =)~

[brittkneegirl1]

mmm me too!

[klsx0x3]

thankyou SO much for this video, you don't even know.

[brittkneegirl1]

aww your welcome SO much! <3

[hotpinklove09]

why is milk bad for you?

[MelleyMichelle]

milk isnt bad for you.

it gives your bones calcium.

[ClaraBaaabyx]

it's not baddd for you but it's not as healthy as you really think.

its unnatural and fattening so its high in calories. lots of saturated fats, high levels of pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones.

[brittkneegirl1]

Yup and it also is really high in cholesterol also you are not getting any protein from milk unless you are eating magnesium along with it so thats usually why cereal companies spray their product with magnesium.

[brittkneegirl1]

Yup and it also is really high in cholesterol also you are not getting any protein from milk unless you are eating magnesium along with it so thats usually why cereal companies spray their product with magnesium.

[hotpinklove09]

like, why do a lot of people drink soy milk and rice milk instead of regular 1% milk?

[brittkneegirl1]

Yup and it also is really high in cholesterol also you are not getting any protein from milk unless you are eating magnesium along with it so thats usually why cereal companies spray their product with magnesium.

[xbellababii]

I love that you are vegetarian also! You should try the loma linda big franks if you haven't already. They're like a fake meat hotdog, and I hate hotdogs but its really good. Morning star is a really good brand too =) That bean salad thing sounds good, im going to try that this week! =) <333

[brittkneegirl1]

aw yay and no i haven't tried any of that but i will! :]

[strawanaberry]

[MissBilly100]

[iluvgh3tt0princ3ss]

loved your mom's video with all the healthy yet yummy recipes!

[brittkneegirl1]

haha i love it too, i think its funny how she narrates it because she ends up talking all awkward lol

[jennii025]

ha yea i liked the video. im a vegetarian and i eat ever couple hours too and no milk for me too. so i drink soy milk all the time it taste good. i always get vanilla, its the best. thanks for your insight.

[helloketty89]

you're very cute :) i like your ideas about nutrition!!!

[dazzledust25]

This was such an interesting video! Thanks for sharing. I noticed when I was in the US last year that most candy still has additives in it. Europeans went to war on additives a few years ago and now none of our sweets have them. I was wondering why US skittles taste way better than Irish ones! haha Amy :)

[kbarbaretta]

Vegetarian/Vegan is the way to go :)

[pinkSUGARR09]

i absolutely loove your makeup in this video! so pretty! <3

[lamodedeparis]

seriously; everyone around me say, "why does all your food look like horse food?" hey!! it's good for you :( & i think they're delicious.

[brittkneegirl1]

it really is delicious! :]

[SunnyCoral]

Great video - thank you!

[christy1684]

My inlaws think I'm so weird because I buy organic milk, rice milk, white cheddar which isn't dyed yellow, and ground turkey. When they come to visit, they are like scared of the healthy stuff, and go out and buy more cheese thats yellow and regular milk! As if there's something wrong with healthier options!!! lol

[brittkneegirl1]

haha well you should inform them! At least you eat healthy!

[KatGarbarino]

very helpful. Love this! Thanks!

[BrittMakeup16]

I just want to say thankyou for this video and thankyou for giving us good informaion on this subject you always have great videos with backed up facts. If possible can you tell me how bad drinking tea is?

[GHfan24]

is'nt tea good for you? it has antioxidants which is good. just the caffine is bad. you could try decaffinated green tea.

[brittkneegirl1]

tea is actually good for you as long as you try to drink it without sugar or littlest amount as possible. Also adding milk can actually block to helpful properties tea gives you so don't add milk, you can add soy, almond, or rice milk!

[Konstantine347]

hey, my mom was a body builder before i was born too

she's a health nut

[xoCupcakeKiss]

thanks for making this video! it's really helpful :)

P.S. rice milk is amazingggggg

[kissndMAKEUP]

This was so helpful! As of today.. Im gonna be a vegetarian.

[Lextasy29]

if you like frosted mini wheats, you should try kashi cinnamon harvest. it's like a cinnamon version of the mini wheats but with 6 gms of protein and only 9 grams of sugar, and in my opinion, i like the taste better. plus, the serving size is 28 biscuits which i think is a bigger serving than mini wheats.

[xmissrileyx]

Thankyou you very much for making this video. ^_^ I was overweight since I was 9. So, my whole life Ive struggled w/ my weight. Im 5'6 & I used to weigh 186 a few yrs..back which was like obese. I ate healthy & exercised & became 120 last summer but recently gained back like 20lbs. so now Im 140. Only b/c I lost motivation after a breakup I went through. But today is Monday & Im planning on going back to healthy eating & working out like I used to. SO thankyou for the extra push. xoxo - Riley

[KAYbaybee95]

[missreallywild]
