I just stumbled across you and subscribed as your journey is similar to my own. I am 50 and follow a predominantly plant-based diet with the exception of wild caught fish. I am also a Brit but living in USA. I like to walk and swim, but I think I will grab my daughters jump rope and challenge myself after watching your jump rope video. You are beautiful and I love how unapologetic you are for not following the beauty trends to try to look younger than your age. A few people I know get botox and fillers and I refuse to follow suit. I feel great, and would rather be healthy and stick to non-toxic options at my age to live a long and healthy life. I love that I found you and hope that you continue to post these great videos. Thanks

Just found you. I'm 63 yrs old, and you're my new favorite creator 😊

Well done you look awesome. I'm on a similar journey, high raw vegan nearly 59. Need to lose about 20lbs!! I intermittently fast, but the other way round. Start eating late but finish eating later

The avocado left in the shell is great for feet, face and everywhere in between🥑

I agree, left overs are sooo tasty!

It's like a magical treat!

Avocado routlette hilarous

I think it's marvelous you have found what works for you and makes you feel great! You have motivated me to take my health back!❤

That curry sauce made my mouth water. I’m 57 and am inspired by you to loose the 20 lbs I gained in menopause.

Wonderful honey you eat weird like me my sister doesn't like my diet either I'm nearly 60 and I'm with you on the healthy natural look .go girl...love it 😂

Loving your channel. You look amazing. I turned 60 last year. Im determined to lose some weight this year. Going plant based ,eating fresh unprocessed is the way. Did intermittent fasting for a while. I want to reboot with a 48 hour fast and then go for it. I do a daily yoga practice but im getting a weighted skipping rope . So inspiring Gail. Go girl 🤩

Haha love your avocado shorts 😂

Looks so tasty must try that curry sauce

I came across you maybe two or three weeks ago from your shorts and love you immediately! I have subscribed and have been watching new and older posts. Love the fitness/health journey and the food you serve up...yummy❤! You are an inspiration. Thank you🙏🏾❤️💃🥳

Honestly this is my favourite way of eating - bowl food, different everyday dependent on what's in the fridge😋 For anyone that has been inspired to pick up a jump rope again (as i have) i recently discovered that there is a "jump rope" module you can add to your Garmin watch, which counts for you😊

You are so inspirational. I love your food and exercise ideas. I'm off to but myself a weighted jump rope 😊❤

Curry looks delicious. Will defo try that recipe. Love these meal ideas, thx ❤

I absolutely LOVE you and your sweet channel and I’m plant based too- you have challenged me to start intermittent fasting as you are and have found it quite doable as a plant based eater - before going plant based I found it so hard to wait to eat as they have so many junky things in the standard diet that keep you coming back and almost sick without it 🤪

What an exquisite spread each time. You set an absolutely fantastic example. Thanks for the inspiration Fifty Sister. I’m following you!

... 'avo🥑roulette' 😆 aint that the truth! You are so refreshingly real 🙏 Love it ... from 💚Aotearoa NZ

Love seeing what you eat a day!!

Apsolutely delicious 👌🏼💚

OMG, I love your meals! Thank you so much for the inspiration! I'm in my 7th week of IF and my height and goal weight would be identical to yours! New subscriber here and grateful! Thanks!

So inspiring ❤

Happy to see 1 more person give the other half of the Avocado "a squeeze" to kick pit out -- rather than whacking it with a knife. YAY. No chance of cutting a finger off.

Looks nummy! Love 🥑roulette, so true!

That looks delicious, I can’t eat soy or any derivatives of soy too much, but now that I read labels I can see a lots stuff have soy in. I have hypothyroidism and my doctor say to eat in moderation some veggies and try to avoid soy and I love Asian food so much. Any way thanks for share . I am new subscriber hi from Canada I am Mexican .

So good!

Great that you can buy spanish avocados There's concern they need too much water in other countries along with the air miles to transport to UK.

O... M... G... looks delicious!!! Your taste buds are right up my alley, Gail! 😂

Absolutely love your meal ideas...don't forget to add black pepper when using turmeric to get the full health benefits! I'm a new subscriber and need to drop 30 pounds and am excited to try the fasting method and totally agree with the two meals a day limit 😊. Thanks for sharing your tips!

I'm new to intermittent fasting, that strategy you used to reset yourself was a great idea. That would work for me.

So amazed you can get tempeh in Portugal :-) quite clever to use the air fry which could also be used as "dehydrator" if temperature can be turned down

Yummy 😋

I don't think it is healthy to eat tofu everyday...I would be on a emotional roller coaster because that stuff really spikes my estrogen, so it's too powerful, I'm 65. I think it probably affects other people like that too...Always buy organic tofu otherwise, it's going to be GMO and sprayed heavily with chemicals, I''m sure Gail knows this but for others who are watching her videos. I think soybeans can be just as powerful as meat, or more, in perhaps, throwing off hormonal balance. There is a higher risk for breast cancer and also thyroid problems for sensitive people like myself.

I'm turning 74 this month and have been plant based since I was 20. I feel great every day and no health issues so far thankfully. Can we have your recipe for veggie balls please?! Yum!

The phytoestrogens in organic soy can be very beneficial for many women after menopause when estrogen declines rapidly. It can be especially beneficial for women having hot flashes. On the other hand, I think it’s a good idea not to overdo anything. In Asia, soy is popular but it’s eaten in moderation and traditionally made. Processed anything should be avoided.

Brilliant beautiful and delicious! Thank you for inspiring us lovely lady🙏🏻🙏🙏🏽💜💙🩵💚💛🧡❤️🪷✨🕊️💖

Gonna start buying that bag of avocados on the clearance now 😅

Tofu with cherry.... Very fancy 😅

Hello Gail, Hello everyone. I cannot eat tofu because of my thyroide illness. I love your recipes. What could replace soybean products ? thanks

Just found your channel! Love it, everything looks yummy. So you started intermittent fasting to lose weight, a long with dietary changes and exercise. Since you haven't changed your new program since you started, did your body decide this is the weight you feel best at and just plateaued? Are you still losing weight? You look great.

Looks great! I don’t think I could ever be vegan and I did grow up vegetarian but I do like my seafood especially so prob wouldn’t give that up. But I just wanted to ask about the amount of soy you’re consuming and whether you’ve looked at the research about how it is indigestible unless fermented? This is what I understand. I believe tempeh actually is fermented (not googling this so correct me if I’m wrong!) but the silken tofu I don’t think it is. Do you consume fermented foods to support the gut microbiome? Obviously the soy sauce is fermented so that’s good. Anyway, looks wonderful. I don’t think I could never eat dinner but I applaud your healthy changes and results and I think what you’re doing is fabulous, you look amazing and clearly feel fantastic too!

Meant to ask, is there anywhere we can download or buy your recipes Gail?

I bought silken tofu but didn’t like it. Did you like it right away? I will give it another try with cinnamon.

Did you start eating tofu during perimenopause or post menopause? Meals look delish. My son just bought me a jump rope 😅

Do you eat anything before your workout?

Did you make those vegan meatballs? If so how please.

❤❤❤ How do you count your jumps per second?

I'm the lazy cook. So what time do you have lunch.and so you don't have dinner? Do you have like a snack of some sort. I'm currently trying to lose 6 kg it's so hard. I've actually have lost 13.5 kg and just stuck 😢

Avocado roulette 😂😂

Do you take supplements

Are you only eating breakfast and lunch? Did not see a dinner or fruit during the day, do you drink tea?

How tall are you?? You look wonderful 😊

Please please please please please give me your recipe for curry sauce I have tried so many times to make curry and it turns out awful

Bread is my downfall too 😂

I heard that in our age we should have about 30 g of protein per meal but I am really struggling with the ant base. How are you provide your body with proteins?

@silvanaanthony1154

If you eat a variety of plant foods you will get enough protein.

menopausal women are advised to drink soya milk because of high oestrogen .

Yummy, but - CHEESE? 😁 Cheese is the main reason why I could never go vegan - vegetarian maybe. Why did you choose veganism and were you a vegan before you embarked on the health reset? Do you choose it for health reasons, ethical reasons or both?

Looks good but its a lot❤

I mean…you are wearing your avocado shorts after all!

I’m so surprised how much you can eat after intermittent fasting. My stomach can never fit as much food as you eat in one sit even without intermittent fasting let alone when I’m fasting, makes it hard to get the calories I need in a day. I think my gut is just in bad shape, eating half of what you eat makes me feel like I over ate, and I’m not even skinny! 🤣

I love leftovers cos I'm such a lady ciok😂

I would be so hungry eating only that in a day

Your bmi here is less than 21 so in all honesty you can afford going up a couple of kilos and still be in your ideal weight (granted its just an artificial construct but anyways).. Also, lifting weights and growing muscle is good long term and will increase energy expenditure so you can eat more relaxed. Being alarmed about eating "too much bread", rationing and fasting sounds a little like disordered eating which is never something to promote. There is really no reason to ever punish yourself for what youve eaten/not eaten

Tbh she was not punishing herself. She already said she loves bread she has it every day. You can have too much of a good thing which is the main problem in the west. Fasting has many benefits. Autophagy being one of them. Many cultures practice it. Gail is in control of her life no doubt.

Actually eating too much bread is something to be alarmed about. Bread, in my country for sure, is a highly processed food. Your comment is very preachy. She’s telling us what she does, not what we should do. You may think she is underweight but it’s none of your business. She eats a lot. It just happens to be mainly home cooked and healthy.

@@hansiesma16 As i said in my original comment shes in the normal weight range. And the bread she eats is artesan bread from the local bakery. Not a processed food at all. She doesnt eat processed foods. And you can make bread at home as well. So i dont really get your point. Theres nothing wrong about eating bread in this context. Thats exactly my point. Edit: youre actually making assumptions here - that i perceive her as underweight (or you dont know that bmi a little under 21 is normal) and that bread is always processed. You draw hasty conclusions and attack calling other people "preachy". The mirror will show you whos being preachy. 👋🏻

@@nnicollan you’ve gone out of your way to tell her what her BMI is and then say she could put on a few kilos. The inference is very clear. Bread is a non food. It has little nutritional value and tastes so delicious the tendency is to overeat it at the expense of proper food. If you have recently shed loads of weight and want to keep it off then bread is not something you should go to town on. That’s just common sense, not disordered thinking. Processed food: if it contains more than 5 ingredients it’s processed. My point was that you came off as preachy, and critical.
