I totally respect your approach to diet and exercise . However I lost my 92 year old mom last year at this time and her philosophy was have at least 1 or 2 cookies at the end of each meal. She stayed at her high school weight all her life and later in life did Silver Sneakers and walked. We told her "Use it or lose it" and she walked the halls in assisted living with her walker several times a day! I am 68 and have learned that so much of life is out of our control, no matter what we do or not do. However, your videos are a blessing and give inspiration to us women in many different ways!

One or two cookies a day isn’t much. Many people cannot stop. I can easily eat a sleeve of cookies a day, so I eat dessert once a week. 🤣. I think previous generations had much more self control because their brains hasn’t been so conditioned with ultraproccesed foods from childhood.

Also, my mom ate a bowl of ice cream every night for years. She died from COPD in her late 70’s, but she was a tiny little thing - had lost all her muscle mass and much of her bone mass from inactivity. She got down to 85 pounds but was usually around 90 or 95. If I are a bowl of ice cream every night, I would gain weight because I exercise hard or lift weights daily, have an active job, eat nutrient dense foods including nuts and seeds, and simply have a bigger appetite. I typically eat one filling brunch, one dinner, and an after dinner snack. I eat 95% whole foods - food I make myself and often grow myself. And losing this five pounds of fat is proving very difficult.

My MIL is 95 and eats like a horse and whatever she wants. Doesn't get any exercise, nor does she have dementia.

I use my Bellicon rebounder to maintain my bone health. NASA found that rebounding was the fastest and most efficient way to restore bone loss from the astronauts being in space. It's also good for lymphatic drainage, pelvic floor, etc. To tone my arms while jumping I strap on Bela bangles. Thanks for the tips Angie!

This is great info to know! I do a 30-minute daily workout on my Bellicon with my wrist weights and knew about the lymphatic drainage but didn’t realise about the bone density! Woo hoo!! 😆 I could’t live without my beloved Bellicon!

I am 59 and have been with a trainer for 8 months. I do much the same workout except I also do stability & mobility training as well. Balancing on each foot and lifting as per Dr Peter Attia. As we age, one of the most dangerous things is tripping and/or falling….as simple as stepping down a step and losing your balance. Great video❤

I want to say that I’ve seen her do stability training with a dumbbell on her shoulder but I could be confusing her with someone else. If you haven’t tried Pilates, it’s great for those things and focuses on deep core strength. I absolutely love it.

I was advised by a personal trainer to start off with the heaviest weights and then progressively go down. Because you’ve already done a bunch of repetitions with the lower weights your arms are going to be a bit tired already.

My favorite videos that you do are always on diet, health, exercise and menopause. Thank you and...Keep them coming!! :D

Hi Angie! I just turned 55, & am a single school teacher mom of 17 & 19 year old. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate about you. You give me hope for my future & make things seem doable. You give practical options. So often I watch & just feel overwhelmed by people's resources & ways of doing things. It may seem silly- but your downstairs work out area looking so normal & not instaram designed perfect or not having a masher, make u feel so real! Thank you, truly! kate

You look fabulous! I too tend to eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch. Makes life easier.

I agree with your comment on what works for each individual. Personally, the intermittent fasting and keto-ish works for me. But that doesn't work for my sisters. The intermittent saved me this year when we had a sad thing happen in our family and I got stuck in a cycle of self soothing with cakes and what not. I stuck with the intermittent fasting and didn't gain a lot of weight, luckily, I still fit in my clothes. Now, I am back to the keto-ish and undoing the too many cakes damage. I did learn something. The sugar cycle keeps you sad and adds to depression.

@AngieHotandFlashy

I'm sorry that happened, sugar is addicted and we can train our brains to crave it less by eating less of it but it's difficult. Happy you have an eating plan that works for you! I don't know if you work out or have time to, but exercise releases "feel good" endorphins that fight depression, even a 20 minute walk will do it!

Love your tips on increasing the heavier weights!

You are one of my favorites for sure. Love your enthusiasm.

Truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for all the recipes

You’re astounding Angie. Your level of discipline is really admirable. Kudos to you!!! That quinoa tofu recipe sounds delicious, definitely going to try it. I make my own granola with oatmeal, puréed dates, olive oil, honey, cinnamon, pumpkin, sesame and hemp seeds, and a variety of raw nuts. Bake and it gets crunchy and is so delicious.

Thanks Angie...great info.

Loved the video. Lots of good info, thank you so much.

Thank you for this video! I love watching videos like this because they give me ideas on how to incorporate healthier eating habits. I find it very inspirational!

Your breakfast really makes me smile! You found what makes you happy AND fits your goals!! ❤

Love your trainer. ❤ thanks for sharing your updates. Inspiring for me to get on track.

THAT was an excellent detailed video of exercise and diet, Ang! Much better than the previous 2024 one. Thanks so much!🙌🏼

Best ideas ever. I love how you cook. Perfect for a plant based gal like me. Thank you! Thank you for all the great ideas.

Love this video! Thank you

Thanks for sharing this Angie. I love seeing your workouts, what you eat in a day and the new recipes. I will definitely be trying the Tofu recipe!

Definitely trying the dinner recipes. Also what a wonderful home/view from your windows. Healthy and peaceful lifestyle!

Thanks for sharing!

loving this video x 1,000,000. Thank you. Please keep cooking videos for suppers coming. Thanks!

Thank you for the inspiration❤

These are my favorite videos of yours! Diet and exercise are sooo important for healthy, beautiful, youthful skin like yours!

Thank you Angie for sharing your routine with us. As always you are inspiring and have such a balanced sense of lifestyle. Your discipline definitely is evident in how great you look! I am going to try to make that salad you made. It looks delicious and easy! ❤

Angie, I have been watching your videos for over a year now. I admire your discipline in all areas of your life. You are so down to earth, grounded and kind. Thanks for sharing so much with us. You are an inspiration. I am glad I found you! Always a good time watching your videos and the bonus on this one was to see your sweet dogs! ❤❤❤ Wish you the best!

Thank you Angie. Your video was informative and inspirational. I have incorporated some of your tips into my daily diet and can't wait to try the tofu recipe. Your videos are my relaxation and at the same time a great source for a healthy and fun ideas.

Some form tips from a personal trainer: Tuck your elbows into your sides for the bicep curls. Bring your feet a little closer for your squats (unless the trainer you were following had a purpose for such wide squats). Stabilize your elbow more for your skull crushers (your arm is moving too much, so you may need to go down in weight). Great work!

Loved this video 😊. Really enjoyed following your routine and being in the kitchen w/ you. You look fabulous, so this lifestyle is clearly working for you.

I love your vlogs to mix it up a bit. You’re right about different things work for different people. What you eat helps me to change it up a bit and to try different things that I may use more in my daily meals. So thanks. I agree about heavy weights. Thanks for sharing what works for you. It’s nice to know that we all have to work at healthy self-care.

Another piece of evidence that discipline is the name of the game. I am similar in that my healthy eating habits have been a lifelong commitment to being the best I can be, and I don't go off the beaten path too much...I stick with the routine I've created for myself over my entire adult life, and enjoy treats every now and then but always come back to what works. And always evolving into new things that will work until I need to find the next thing for my age, etc. Thank you, great video, please do more of these!

Great video Angie.

I love your recipe videos! You're so inspiring. I'm post menopause year 4 and could use motivations like this. 🤩

Thanks Angie. I’ve never made a recipe with tofu but your dinner looked really yummy!

Love that tofu-quinoa parm recipe! Going to try it! Thanks!

Such a neat idea to add things to your cereal. I've tried that kind and it's pretty good, even by itself.

Thank you Angie, excellent work out routine, and I'm loving you're recipes, especially the over night oats, I will be making this today for my breakfast tomorrow, thanks again girl 💖

Everything looks delicious. When I make overnight oats I add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra protein boost. Love the idea of tossing scraps into a ziplock for later use. Brilliant!

You’re an inspiration ❤

I had a croissant for breakfast

This was a great video. Thank you!

Amazing! Thank you for breaking down your homemade cereal concoction. I like a high protein breakfast and at each meal but you can’t beat cereal. Im with you, something like you made keeps me full a LONG time.

Great video Angie- just know that even though the collagen shows an amount of protein in it, it is not COMPLETE protein and all of the experts seem to agree you should NOT COUNT it towards your total protein number. I don't use protein powders or whey, but if you added those instead of collagen, you could use those to bump up your protein to hit your target. I would just add some plain Greek yogurt ;).

@kriswright2502 it's missing tryptophan and maybe another essential amino acid, so not complete to be considered a source of protein. 😊

@AngieHotandFlashy

3 ай бұрын

I'm not an expert on protein or diet, but still I disagree with that and I'm going to continue to count the protein in my collagen supplement and here's why: My Vital Proteins Marine collagen powder contains 19 of the 20 amino acids (8 essential and 11 nonessential). The essential amino acid not in it is tryptophan which helps regulate sleep, mood, and appetite but doesn't contribute to muscle building, collagen production, immune function, wound healing, brain function or energy. So in my view while it's technically correct that collagen supplements don't contain "complete" proteins it's splitting hairs to not count them in my daily total protein intake, I mean by that standard protein from nuts, legumes, vegetables, whole grains & seeds wouldn't be counted either...

I just made your cereal mix!! What a nice easy fast breakfast. I need quick stuff that I can eat on the go and I am beyond bored with my usual choices. Thanks so much!!

I have been using the salmon salad and tahini lemon dressing recipes for quite a while now and I love them. I'm not one to eat the same thing every day for lunch, but it is a regular for lunch. Can't wait to try out the new recipes.

Vegan for 34 years, tofu is so versatile. love to see you use the chickpea flour. always learning. I am 72. Love your videos!

Good Friday morning Angie! Thank you for sharing!! Love finding new recipes!! The cashew sauce can be used in so many dishes too a friend is gluten free due to a medical condition so trying to find alternative solutions for cheese is difficult but started using the cashew alternative and finds it the most tasty! Adding herbs also works! Definitely going to Trader Joe’s for the frozen garlic easy ! The salmon has been a favorite for several years I started making it after you posted and it’s delicious!! Love it for lunch! Going to try the green tea too! Have a great weekend!!🌞🌸🌺

I always enjoy your videos, Angie, but I especially liked this one! Your approach to a healthy lifestyle is realistic and something anyone can incorporate into their life. No expensive gym membership or special food subscriptions.

Angie, I love how everything you do is SO INTENTIONAL, everything for a reason❤

Thank you so much for this vlog. I need to increase my protein intake and all of your meals look so delicious. I can’t wait to try all of them. Luv your personal trainer😊

Thank you 😊 😊😊

I'm so happy you were able to control your cholesterol with diet/exercise. It takes consistency and hard work! I have a family history of diabetes. I only do berries, no fruit juice. If I had cereal for breakfast, I'm starving the rest of the day, I'll have egg white omelet with veggies, add in 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk or ground oats to add fiber and naturally reduce cholesterol. Everyone is so different regarding dietary needs! FYI, rice flour makes a nice breading if you want a crispy flaky crust.

Angie, thank you for sharing the information about the post menopausal doctors and also about protein requirements. I applaud you for your attention to detail. After watching you I realize that if I stepped up my game just a little I would have a little more protein intake. Right now I’m just not couy my macros. And I can definitely see that would help me a great deal.

In one of your most recent videos you mentioned the 22nd sprinting, which I started to implement to my workout. It has made a huge difference. And I love it! The tofu recipe sounds so yummy!

Great video. It’s so nice to we what others are doing to stay fit and healthy as we age. I’m 65 and am trying to bring my high blood pressure under control. I too have a hereditary heart problems. That dish looks amazing.

Thanks for letting us follow you through your day. Angie you’re an inspiration, and I always look forward to watching your videos with my coffee on Friday mornings. I’m going to make your salmon salad to put in my lunch salad. I’m also going to try the Tofu Quinoa recipe as one of my daughters is vegetarian and it looks delicious! Have a great weekend!

Love hearing how you take care of yourself! While a real shift toward more natural and less processed foods can be hard, it’s all in what you get used to.
