Finally someone is saying carbs should be present in your diet. I am 53 and i need to lose belly fat and 10kg. I am still in search of a healthy way of eating

THIS is EXACTLY what I have been searching for...thank you!!

Sophie, you are a true blessing! 😊🙏

This is such a great video. I've realized I'm in peri-menopause and at 45 things are changing. I've plant based for 4-5 years now but these tips are very helpful to get my nutrition dialed back in. I love the idea of a smoothie for breakfast. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to watching and learning more.

Hi Audra - great question! And you are so right. In fact, I plan another video on what I eat for breakfast, and I will include "winter options". In the meantime, warm oats, quinoa porridge etc, which I load with blueberries, flax, amla powder etc. You can't get your greens into that, but you can eat plenty of gently cooked dark leafy greens later in the day. Also, you might want to consider a warming breakfast, and then a smoothie later in the day (on cold days).

Hi, Sophie I too recently found your wonderful videos and I have also just discovered Dr. Brooke Goldner and I saw the episode on the super green smoothie you two did together. I do not eat breakfast but have been having a high vegan protein smoothie in the mornings as I am trying at the age of 54 to go Plant-Based, is it ok to purchase a product for example like 'Organifi' Green Juice powder supplement? Different Health gurus have products they are saying cover all your nutrients required for the day without having to drink a lot of Green Juices etc. Would you agree or disagree with that? I have an autoimmune disease and would love to change my health and of course, lose weight. Thank you you are incredibly inspiring and informative, I love your lovely energy.

Thank you for this information. My question is, let's say you have a smoothie for breakfast, grain-bowl for lunch, what would your typical dinner look like?

Hi Sophie. Your an inspiration to all women. I am a 45 year old female and I'm gaining belly fat. I eat healthy and work out but I get confused what to eat. Some say detox excess estrogen and others say increase progesterone or eat foods high in estrogen and others say no due to breast cancer and so on. What should we eat to balance hormones. And what about flax seeds. I also eat a carrot a day as I read it detoxes excess estrogen. Thankyou.

Hi. I love yr videos. It's just what I needed, good info. I am going to get the 3 hormone blood test straight away. I am a 57 menopausal woman. I am from the uk who now lives in Ethiopia as a nurse. I am frustrated bcoz i cant get some of the foods and grains which i am use to what you mentioned. I use to be in the fitness industry as a instructor, Personal trainer, holistic therapist, pilates instructor, everything to do with health, plus a nurse. Two months ago, I isolated for 2wks being around people who had covid (I did not no at the time). I stopped my workout regime for that time, to take a break from everything, now my weight has increased, lost my mojo, can't seem to get back on track. Not much food variety in Ethiopia. Every thing I eat bloats me now. I tied all the time. Help!! 😔

I have had to rearrange my greens and I found it difficult to put it in the smoothie. It is better now but at first it seemed not what I liked in the morning time. Do you do any changes seasonally when it comes to smoothie making?

I know from your other video you have a small square of dark chocolate each day, but do you ever partake in desserts that you make for your family (like birthdays or holidays), and if so, do you find you can pretty successfully substitute either date sugar or date syrup or bananas as your only sweeteners? Or for those special occasions (like Christmas) do you use more refined sweeteners like maple syrup or coconut sugar to get the dessert to come out well? I don't eat sugar on a regular basis either, but would still like to provide desserts for myself and my family on special occasions. Oh, and I'd love your recipe for date syrup (ratio of dates : water, type of dates, how long to boil, etc) if you could please share that. :)

Berries and apples and pears as you indicate, would absolutely clobber my blood sugars as I have type 1 diabetes. An apple has over 30g of carbohydrates. I am all for whole foods, particularly leafy greens, but a carbohydrate based diet would up the amount of insulin I have to take which then would increase fat storage.

Hi Sophie, really enjoyed this video, thanks. I'm glad to hear your take on soya products as I've been looking into natural solutions to menopausal symptoms and health, and reading a couple of books by well-known nutritionists here in the UK who advocate soya as having a protective effect against some female cancers, heart disease and osteoporosis, in addition to helping control menopausal symptoms. Following this I've decided to introduce it into my diet. Also, good to hear your advice regarding vitamin D. A recent blood test has shown me to have vitamin D insufficiency which I'm addressing with supplements. I wear sunscreen daily so not absorbing enough from the sun and, in any case, I live in the UK!! I've noticed that my dry eyes haven't been bothering me quite as much since starting the vitamin D, it could be coincidence though as I've only been taking it for 2 weeks, but it's something I'll definitely monitor. I had read some research to suggest that vitamin D can help with dry eyes. I already take omega 3 fish oil and had been taking sea buckthorn but they hadn't reduced the symptoms.

What do you think about a raw vegan diet ?? I am following this kind of diet but, my problem is, it can be restrictive?

Soy products are not necessarily a myth. It depends on the person. Soy causes me to have hot flashes and night sweats. I discovered this in my early 40s when I was drinking soy milk. As soon as I stopped, the hot flashes and night sweats disappeared. I experimented with edamame as well. Same results. Some people are sensitive to soy. Others may not be.

Lots of good information, however I've recently educated myself on all the foods/veggies that are the root cause of inflammation...

I recently came across your video it's very interesting my question is how many milligrams of vitamin D and B12

I believe the B that I mention in the description is methyl form. As for eating with acidic foods, not sure what that means. It could refer to foods such as coffee and grapefruit. Would need more specifics to answer your question. Hope this helps!
