 Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, I'm Adeline and I'm a mom of a one, two, and three-year-old I post videos pretty much every single day, and I know I've recently had a lot of new subscribers So I thought I would just kind of start off by like introducing myself also this type of video is a little unusual for me I it's something that I've had so many questions about it's something that has kind of been long-awaited coming But it's a little out of the ordinary So I might be having some of you that aren't very new to my channel. So anyways This is not going to be my weight loss Story in particular if you guys would be interested in seeing that let me know in the comments but I am gonna give you some of my best tips and a little bit about my story and Just what I've learned over the last few years So I Have had three pregnancies obviously very close together. I have a one two and three-year-old and They were all very different. I was at very different weights at all of them Oh, basically what I'm gonna do is start where After I had my third baby so she is basically a year and a half old now and I actually have some footage or I may just grab a still shot of Whenever I had first started doing YouTube I think I was about a hundred and sixty five pounds maybe a hundred and seventy pounds whenever I started I didn't really weigh myself very consistently then just because I hated the scale to be honest and I just hated everything I hated how I felt I hated My how I looked I didn't feel comfortable in my clothes all of those sorts of things so that I believe was Year and a half ago Maybe a year ago something like that if I can kind of figure it out. I'll put like some wording in here and so Before I actually got to that point So that would have been like through my pregnancies actually before I even got pregnant. I did something called THM So that's where I'm gonna start off with my little tips and tricks for you guys If you can find a plan that works for you And I am going to be the first one to say I have tried lots of different things and I think Not entirely because I know there's some plans that of eating and lifestyle that is not very healthy But I think for the most part if you stick to one thing You will lose weight and if you do it religiously And there's so many different diet so many different things out there so many different ideas and mindsets and one thing That I really want to encourage you guys with is every single body type is different And so you might have to try several different plans until you find one that works with your metabolism and all of that Good stuff another thing I want to add is these are only a couple tips and tricks. I are like, you know things I've gathered I think I may actually do more videos like this if you like that idea give this video a thumbs up and Like I said also just doing a longer video on my whole entire story. So Before I had little ones Like in my well, I'm in my 20s. So in my teen years I was pretty much at the same weight like my entire life like around 150 pounds was where I sat and It's so crazy because I feel like 150 pounds in my teen years looked so different After I had had my second baby I lost a lot of weight and got back down to 150 pounds and It's just my body looked so different than my teen years and that was a little bit frustrating for me I realized that to get to what I wanted to feel and like in my clothes and look like I would have to drop a good amount more weight than that. So Like I said before I had little ones I did a plan called trim healthy mama and basically I'm just gonna like Shorten it down because there's a big fat book to go with it and there's so much more than this but basically you separate your carbs and your fats and You eat them at different times and you eat protein with both types of meals And I was the type of person that would do one whole day with on the fats And then one whole day like eating carbs. Now when I say carbs, I'm talking like sweet potatoes Keen why beans healthy carbs not bread very little actually very little gluten Very minimal on all of that stuff. So I think before I got pregnant with my first one I think maybe I was at a hundred and thirty five pounds Maybe something like that and I I mean I felt very comfortable in that and that weight with that body Makeup, I guess that young, you know, like not gone through pregnancy kind of thing. So What I did is through my pregnancies I ate a lot of whatever I wanted to I gained a lot of weight My middle one was my heaviest pregnancy and I'm pretty sure I did not weigh myself through my pregnancies or you know I actually had a midwife and either didn't want to see the scale or just like asked her She didn't like would be okay with not weighing me. And you know I wasn't massively huge, but I am pretty much a hundred percent sure that I went over 200 pounds Especially with my second one. So after I had my second one, I it would have been like five Months till I got pregnant again and in that time I mean as soon as I hit my okay mark to start working out and start doing things I did and so I lost a lot of weight I think I got down to right around 150 pounds before I got pregnant again so after I had my third one, which is any Pictures or clip that I put through this Or the thumbnail or anything like that would have been after I had my third one So to be fair, you know that we're starting off like not through pregnancy and everything like that I did not weigh myself and I am pretty sure yeah that I was probably about a hundred and seventy pounds So she is like a year and a half and I am now down to a hundred and twenty two pounds I feel really really good and I did trim healthy mama up until maybe Like six months ago something like that And then I switched to doing keto and intermittent fasting and the reason I have had so many people ask me Why I switched from doing trim healthy mama like the flat-flop, you know type of eating to doing keto and bottom line honestly, I love trim healthy mama and I really don't see anything wrong with it But the bottom line was is that it was way way more convenient to eat keto Than it was to do trim healthy mama with trim healthy mama you eat every three hours On keto because you're eating extremely high amounts of fat. It helps to sustain you and you actually like Can go a longer amount of time without eating and you can eat three times a day And then I ran into dr. Berg and I'm going to leave links to his videos below on Keto and intermittent fasting because I feel like he has the most like and I know this is Extremely extremely controversial controversial statement But I'm going to say it because it's my opinion and that doesn't mean that like I'm a hundred percent right And you can leave your opinion in the comments if you disagree with me, but like I think that his Stuff is the most like Scientifically based or like gives the good reasons because before all of this I was very against doing intermittent fasting doing keto Taking carbs out all of that stuff and then I listened to like hours and hours and hours of dr. Berg talking and he had a lot of information on Why it works and all of that stuff now to say that it's something that I will do for the rest of my life probably not That's just not I Don't know. It's just not real life. I mean there's you have kids you have birthday parties you have All kinds of things and yes, I'm going to go ahead and say this because I feel like it's important for me to say I ate Oreos before I sat down to film this so like just to give you a picture Like I just really with when I first started doing keto I was like really obsessive about numbers and weighing like I would weigh my my proteins All of that stuff, which actually what I want to say is that if you start a plan stick to it Like give yourself a good like three months of being super adamant about like checking all the boxes everything that you're going to do because that gives you a good foundation and then from then on you can kind of like Cultivate and like just do it as a lifestyle. And so for example with keto some, you know, it's not super high I mean, it's medium protein. It's high fat medium protein. And so You could do want to be careful that you're not in consuming too much protein. So I was weighing my protein What actually ended up being really good in the end because now I know How much protein I should be eating I can look at a piece of chicken and kind of know And so like measuring things out is not a bad thing I mean, it would be really annoying for the rest of your life to be doing that But it's not a bad thing Just to give you kind of like a perspective of what you should and shouldn't be doing So, you know, if you're doing I'm just trying to think of another example I know there's other diets that have like guidelines things that you stick to. I mean like I think Another this is this would be a good example. I'm not huge huge fan of doing weight watchers But I think you can lose weight on weight watchers Especially for a person that has a problem with portion control But like just like that you can learn what things are what points and people get really used to the system And then you can kind of integrate it into a lifestyle So I think that's why sometimes people start something and they're like How in the world would I make this into a lifestyle? And I think that's why just like give yourself a good solid three months And you will know if it's something that you can stick to doing Stick start to like just go on your own take the training wheels off that kind of thing So my first thing is is to stick to whatever you decide to do. It does not have to be what I do Although I will say that it what I've done has worked very well My pace of losing weight Went up dramatically after starting keto going off of trim healthy mama But trim healthy mama is extremely good for when you're nursing and you're pregnant because you do need those healthy carbs um For those times of life and even now like because I'm pretty much. I mean I'm at my goal weight um That it you know if there's times that I want to integrate healthy carbs I kind of have that knowledge like I know because I've done it and that's why it's not a bad idea to Try out different diets, and I know there's going to be people out there that probably will argue with me on that one But I think that it's good to know to have good knowledge of a lot of different things And especially whenever you want to use things for certain periods of your life Like if you want to use keto to get yourself down to where your weight should be and then just be eating healthy And just making smart choices after that I don't think that's a bad thing So I feel like that was really long, but you guys got the picture and if you're interested in hearing what I have to say I guess you'll keep watching. Um, so my second tip Is that you Do not have to do fitness um And I know like there's so much to the health weight loss fitness world And so everybody's got their their opinions and their things But I'm talking from my experience from my story from like the things I've done So I have done working out. Um, like I said after had my second one Um, I did a lot of working out. It kind of depends on what you want to maintain what you want out of um weight loss, so I um did not do much working out actually before that to be honest That was the first time that I really faithfully every day was working out And now that I'm at the weight I'm at I'm actually kind of like wanting to work out just because I feel like that I have You know extra Skin and things like that that I would really like to tighten up. Um And so I think in the next few months, I'll probably start going back to the gym I had done it for a little while last year and um, just didn't stick to it So that is something that I think I will probably start doing But what I want to say is that you can easily lose weight For the most part unless Like I'm I'm going to say this stuff with a disclaimer of there are people out there with thyroid problems There are people out there that have genetic things that have things that They need medical attention for and so like if you are doing everything in your power Or you know or you This is a whole nother subject. But you know, there's things like parasites There's things out there that will prevent you from losing weight But I'm talking for maybe a general rule of thumb So if you are trying A lot of things you're being very faithful to sticking to eating a certain way You know that you're not doing anything that you're consuming things that would be making you gain weight And you're still not losing you definitely need to seek professional help Okay, with that said for the most part you can lose a lot of weight without working out um, and I know that a lot of trainers will even tell you that because Their first thing that they're probably going to tell you at a training session If it's a really good trainer is that it all starts in the kitchen You cannot be eating mcdonald's and going to the gym every day First of all, you would never have the energy to do that and not be like giving yourself the right nutrition You're just killing yourself. You're just on a cycle. You know, that's not good So nutrition is really the bottom line. So if you start off with that You will definitely lose and I like I said, I have lost pretty much all of my weight without actually having Done much exercise at all. The third thing I wanted to say was be flexible about your goal weight um Like I said, you know After I had my second baby and I lost the weight that I thought I was going to like, you know, where I was at and stuff like that It wasn't really where I wanted to be so I had to kind of readjust that and I've also heard people That have made a goal weight for themselves Reached not quite that low of weight and was were super happy with how their body looked So like I think it's good to have goals But I also think it's good to just like listen to your body and realize that You might be happy in a very different place with your body than what you realize and just learn to love The moment that you're in learn to love Like every step that you're going through and like especially as moms I feel like we have these like Time frames in mind and we have to realize that we are going through postpartum We're breastfeeding all of those things and so I think it's important for us to just embrace every single step Okay, so You already know that I eat keto for the most part. I also do intermittent fasting even currently Um, I'm not a huge breakfast person not because I don't love breakfast food In fact, a lot of times I eat breakfast food for lunch But because I have three toddlers and the idea of me getting breakfast made for myself Is pretty much non-existent. I mean, it's usually like 11 o'clock until I make my breakfast So, um, I actually that was the other thing that was super convenient about doing Intermittent fasting is like I just basically, you know, wouldn't wouldn't make my first meal until the afternoon And just making sure that, you know, you're having enough calories and all of that But if you're eating a lot of coconut oil and that's where I'm gonna kind of like Go into is giving you guys a couple products and tips things that Um Have helped me out a lot and no this is not sponsored by any of these companies or anything Um, if any of them want to you know want to sponsor me, um, I do work with the one company, but um, it's not sponsored Sponsoring this video, but one thing one thing that I like Swear by is eating a good amount of coconut oil every single day and I Personally prefer it in my coffee um, I if you guys go back and watch I had gone through and done a series of like what I eat every single day I would take and film it all and put it into one video And You guys I know there was a lot of you that really liked it Um, it was just so much work honestly for me to do that. So If you guys go back and Watch those videos you will see that I do put a lot of coconut oil into my coffee Um, and it's just my way of doing it and I have In a pinch whenever I really knew I needed coconut oil Um, eating it right off the spoon and just drank something after it. It's pretty nasty Whenever you have to do what you have to do. It's really good for your skin and your hair Um digestion helps you lose weight Um, just gives you a lot of energy. It really really does But I would suggest to start off a little bit like a smaller amount and work your way up I probably in my coffee. I probably put like a good tablespoon and a half Um, I really really like it and I my attempt is to try to do that twice a day That's something that I put in my coffee Another thing that I put in my coffee is collagen and I don't necessarily have a specific brand That I really um Stick to with that. I liked from healthy mama's brand. I've used theirs Actually, I just ran out of my last bag of theirs that I had on hand Um, but that's something that I also like to try to put into my coffee I try to drink Like decaf at night and then regular in the morning. So of course I kind of make the same Concoction or whatever, but I'm going to show you guys this. Um, this is the one that I'm using right now It's called beauty to beauty tonic And they have bags also and actually this is from grove If you guys are unfamiliar with my channel, I talk about grove a lot. They are a natural company Um, and I'll leave a link in the description bar where you guys can actually get a whole bunch of cleaning Products for free with your first order If you guys want to go click on that link, it'll send you right to grove It'll put all that stuff in your car and then you can search, um tonic on there And this will pop up and the reason I'm showing it to you is because if you're a person that uses collagen This is like ridiculously handy. So these are in little Pouches just like this so you can literally keep these in your car and put them in your starbucks um They have no taste absolutely no taste collagen in itself actually helps you digest things Um, it really just whoa. It really does a lot of things I'm not going to go into great detail because I feel like this video might end up being long Um, but I wanted to mention this because it's something that I wish kind of I would have known about a long time ago Just because of the convenience of it So um, like I said, I'll leave a link below for this. Okay, so I I think what I'm gonna do is do a video At some point on like all the supplements All the things that I take another thing that I take up is super food plus by dr. Schultz And I'm just literally going to show these to you because I know there were some people that were like Aren't aren't they huge pills? I've mentioned it before and they really they are I mean like if you're not a pill taker They are but I'm I don't mind taking pills But this is literally what they look like. Let me see if I can get it to focus like that and They are basically your greens. So if you're a person that hates Hates salads hates getting your greens in which really even those of us that like it We don't get enough in I can already tell you that right now like we do not eat enough greens in America at all Um, or the right kind of greens like iceberg lettuce does not count Sorry to break it to you if you thought that it did Um, but it has so much nutrients in it. And this is just a way that is so Easy to get so much in and I'm gonna tell you guys something kind of like gross, but it really Helps or helped me see how great these things are one time one of them landed in my sink And then I don't think I realized it and a few hours later I came back and it had gotten wet and it had literally I think probably Three times its size and it was like a little blob of like Shredded up green like that is what is in in these pills So that was kind of it was it was gross in my sink But it was kind of comforting to me that this is really Greens like you're definitely getting them in and you don't have to taste them You can hold your breath and take it down. So, um, I will leave an amazon link below for these. That's um Where I got them and so Yeah, they're definitely something that I like to take every day Okay, so this is the one company that I work with if you guys watch my channel a lot you already know this um But I work with teamy or team. I I like to say teamy because it rhymes but Um, and they are a really really awesome company. They are a tea company I actually love drinking health teas to begin with and so whenever they reached out to me I was like, yeah, that would be totally cool to work with you guys. So, um What I have done. This is my second round is the 30 day detox. Um, and it basically comes Oops, there's a hair. Um It basically comes with their skinny tea and their detox tea I'm just gonna pull their detox tea is just their colon tea and it actually comes in little bag little Tea bags and then their skinny tea is their loose leaf tea and the way that the system works Is you drink the skinny tea every single morning and it tastes really good. I like I love the taste of their teas um And then the detox tea you drink every other night and so you do it for 30 days And I am going to be really honest with you guys. I love Love This product I think the first round that I did it, which of course I was eating really healthy and also whenever I started my first round. I cut out Um dairy, which was really big because even on keto you could you're allowed to have dairy But a friend challenged me to do it and I have gone through spurts of cutting out dairy and I generally feel better I think it causes a lot of bloating and I really think it slows down my weight loss So I I did that and um, I pretty much had already been cutting out sugar and gluten That was something that I had done for a long time But the dairy was something a little bit new. So I cut that out. So I'm just including that in this Um, and then I did the the detox for 30 days and I think if I would look back on my dates, um That it was about 10 pounds in those 30 days, which is like Really good really really good and then um on top of that. I actually had a Um subscriber of mine get ahold of me after she had ordered Through my link because I will leave a link in the description box where you guys can get a percentage off of your first T order actually, you know, I think any of your t-orders. So even if you are a Returning customer you guys would still be able to get it Um, and she was like so I have been stalled on my weight loss for a while And I decided to go ahead and get the skinny tea Um, and it has broke broken my plateau and I'm losing again So I was like, yes. Yes. Yes. So it really it really really does help and I was surprised I was skeptical at first, but I was surprised at how much it helped But before I end my ramble about teamy, I do have to tell you guys something kind of exciting So I got a package the other day And they just Launched I think yesterday um this new tumbler and how Stinking cute is it? I love the mint color and I want to show you guys how the tumblers work. So Um with the skinny tea, it's a loose leaf tea And you literally only use a teaspoon of this and it like expands kind of like the greens like I was just telling you about and then There is a little like screen And it keeps everything you put the the tea inside there with the boiling water You stick this right inside And then you can drink it and you don't get all the nasty little pieces from the loose leaf tea So anyways, and this actually has a little compartment of the sticker stuck I'm not going to open it, but you can unscrew the bottom And put like your tea in there if you were out in town and you just got some hot water somewhere And then it has a little um wristlet too So I really really really have been impressed with this company and like I said, these are just like little add-ins It's nothing that like you have to do it's things I have done things that have helped me Um stuff that you know if you want to try one of those things, you know, it might help a lot um Just yeah just a couple things that I thought I would just throw out there and mention and like I said I think I'm going to do a whole video on everything that I do because If you don't know what your adrenal glands are They are something in your body that help you handle stress And if they're overloaded you have a very very hard time losing weight Um, and so if you're taking supplements to help aid your adrenals and help to get them back to health Sometimes that in itself can actually help you lose weight with whatever you're currently doing So that is why I'd like to do another supplements video But the last thing I'm going to mention is to be taking a really good probiotic And I am talking about this because I've taken a lot of probiotics And this one is actually like in the mid range as far as price And it came in a cooler bag like I ordered it off of amazon And it came in a cooler bag and it has 85 billion live cultures and 32 probiotic strands And that is very high when you're talking about probiotics. Um, there's a lot of them that have 50 billion live cultures Um and even lower than that like 30. So this is a very high count And I was super impressed that it came like in a cooler bag And they were concerned that it would keep its temperature. So that means that whatever is in here Is real live stuff and it's very very healthy and good for you I wish I would have known about it sooner, especially with the fact that the price is so good on amazon um, I'll leave a link below And I just wanted to tell you guys about it because I wish I would have known Okay, so I'm sure that this is probably already Way long enough and I could talk for probably four more hours Just because I already like there's so much more stuff But I know about weight loss and and health and aiding and all of that stuff But um, I think I'm gonna see how you guys like this type of video And if you would be interested in hearing more about my story and more about the things that have worked for me Things that I do things that I take how I eat Um Those sorts of things so leave your questions in the comment box and we'll see maybe I'll be making some more videos Like this and I hope that something helped you guys out in all of this stuff and Um, if you guys are new to my channel, don't forget to hit that subscribe button Give this video a like and I will see you guys in tomorrow's video Say let's pass on on the street. Are you ready?
