Hello. Hi everyone. Hi. I'm doing my live. So a lot of you asking what time and what day I do lives. I don't have a schedule yet, but I just do them when I can and when I have time. So hi everyone. Hi Anne. So if you're just tuning in, say hello. I'm just going to see who's coming through and then I'll be able to answer your comments when they pop up. Hi Anna. Hi Nicole. Hey everyone. So yeah, just this is my, well, it's my week five, but I'm doing the update about week four because, yeah, because obviously we're one week ahead. So just gonna wait a few minutes until you all come up. How am I? I'm very good. Thank you. I feel very excited to do this live today. So I hope you're very excited because I'm literally super excited today. So yeah, come up, come up, come up, and yeah, and we'll start in a minute, in a second. I didn't. So where are you guys watching from? I am doing the live from London, from my flat. Hi Linda Jones, good afternoon. Yeah, let me know where you're watching from, which country. And also what time it is for you there, because at the minute it's 4.30 and apparently that's the most popular time for my audience, so it's a good way to test it out. So today I wanted to talk to you about my progress. It's been exactly one month. Through my healthy diet, through my exercise plan, and I've got exciting news. Drum rolls, please. I've managed to lose four kilos, so that's four kilos. Now I forgot what it is in pounds again. If somebody knows, please let me know because I'm really bad with these numbers. But yeah, so it's four kilos in one month. So that's taken quite some time and it's a very slow and very good weight loss. I'm very very chuffed and very happy about it and yeah and that's definitely something that I'm proud of already. And obviously some of you know if you watched my video of what I eat in a day I'm doing a 30-day vegan challenge and I'm very excited because I ordered a bunch of goodies which arrived today and if any of you eat tofu let me know what is a good tofu because I ordered And look, I've ordered one, two, three, four... Five different types of tofu because I've never really eaten it before and I'm very excited to just try it out and see if I like it. If I don't, oh no, I think I ordered some tofu which is spicy. It's got peppers on it. I hope that's not spicy. Anyway, so I've ordered a whole bunch of them because I'm going to be testing it out and seeing like if it's good, if it's not good, what I like, what I don't like. So yeah, it's really exciting. So I want to let you know, since obviously I've been doing the vegan challenge for one week, I felt so much better. Hi, good evening, Larry. Thank you, Harry. Yes, I'm not feeling as bloated. Like, um... The digestive system is working really well. I have more energy. I don't have that feeling of sluggishness when I wake up in the morning. I just kind of like... Wake up and I'm like, right, I need to go and do some exercise. So I'm very, very energetic in the last few days. Well, last few weeks, really, but especially the last sort of last one week. two weeks or so so yeah very very excited um to share that with you and also all of you who are watching me i've created my first free ebook it's like a small 24 page ebook and it took me some time to make and but anybody who wants to download it for free then uh yeah i'll post the link down below and you can download the free ebook for yourself if you want to hi janice i'm good how are you Yes, Larry, I'm having a lot of turmeric, I'm eating curries with turmeric, which is really healthy and filling, so I've literally been eating turmeric pretty much every other day, which is great. So yeah, it's a lot of turmeric, and a lot of fruit, and I also ordered some golden flax seeds, so they are grown in China and packaged in UK. So I guess they're more like additives that I add to foods to make, instead of the egg at the minute. Irina Rudakova, hi Alla, thanks for introducing me to Fishbox, awesome stuff, very healthy as well, Nottingham. Oh, I'm really glad, Irina, you like it, yes, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm, I've paused it for one month because I'm doing the vegan challenge, but when, when it's back on, I'm gonna do it as well, it's so good, guys, so, if you haven't seen my video on fish previously, you can, you get 10 pounds off. If you get the fish box, if you sign up and they literally deliver fresh seafood, fresh sea like fish, and it's always varied from Scotland, which is amazing. So, yeah, definitely do that. Hello, hello Byron, I'm good, how are you? I don't know, look, I've got my laptop here. Hi Nini Smila, Felicity, Georgia is watching, adorable, aloha, thank you. I really want to go to Georgia because I love Georgian food and I do make some Georgian recipes. But I really, really want to visit because I've heard so many amazing things about it. Hi Dada, haha, wow, your name is amazing, haha, you subbed me, that's great, thank you, haha, see you guys, I'm really, really, really excited, I created the cookbook, the ebook, so if you sign up, you get my free ebook, and I've included all the healthy recipes that I've been having in the last few weeks, so yeah, you can make those as well. Hi Gary from New Jersey, it's 11.30 a.m. Thursday morning. Okay, so you're like just starting your day. I'm kind of, well, more than halfway through my day, finishing it up. Yep. Dad is saying, I made your food once and it was amazing, so amazing, I'm so glad to hear that, thank you, I'm glad, if you do make my recipes, a lot of you do tag me, tag me on Instagram, tag me on Snapchat, tag me on Facebook and I always repost it on my social media. Hi Sidra, I have heard about the shepherd's pie helps in the weight loss. Oh no, I completely forgot about your shepherd's pie, I'm so sorry. You know what, I actually have a healthy vegan shepherd's pie recipe. Okay, so I promised you, so which day is it today? So on Saturday night, I'm going to do a live and I'm going to show you how to make Super healthy shepherd's pie. Okay. Okay. All right. You forgive me. I hope you forgive me. Um For those of you who don't know, Sid has been asking for the shepherd's pie recipe for two weeks now, I think. And I keep forgetting. Dada loves my lava cakes. Yes. I'm also planning to create an e-book with lava cakes because... Lower Cakes are just my life. I love them and I've created so, so many flavors, so you're going to love them all. Hi, Jessie Riath from Philippines. Love, love, love. Love that. Hi! Hi, Stephanie Penn. Hi, Eponimisa. Love your videos. Thank you. Thank you. So, yeah, guys, I'm feeling very, very positive. Week four, I've lost four kilos. So yeah, anybody who's watching now, how many pounds is four kilos? Can someone let us know? Hi friends, oh hello. Also another amazing thing is that you know guys have been looking for social media interns. I've actually got two amazing girls that are joined our yummy food team. They've had some food today that I made really healthy vegan stuff but they loved it and they're going to be helping with marketing and doing lots of stuff. It's gonna be really really awesome, loads of new stuff is gonna come up, a bit of rebranding, a lot of changes but we're gonna be awesome and I'm feeling really really positive and for anybody who's feeling low or down or feel like things aren't going really well, things are gonna go well, you just have to kind of believe in yourself, you have to exercise because when you exercise your head clears up a little bit, so today I was swimming and I don't know if you guys ever have this, When I swim for some reason like I'm just thinking I'm swimming and like I'm thinking and thinking and it's like my whole head is full of thoughts and then by the end after like 45 minutes like I have like an empty head. I know it sounds weird but literally that's how I feel when I exercise. So yeah it's really really great. Okay so 4 kilos is 8.81 pounds. Thanks Larry. Hi Lisa, you look just fine. Thank you. Yeah, I look but I'm not healthy inside. So that's why I'm doing the challenge. Byron, Allah, what did you love about making your mango tart? Well, it's just it's really pretty, isn't it? It's super pretty. So everybody likes it. Yeah, so thanks guys for those of you who are commenting. So yeah, I've lost 8.8 pounds in one month and that's 4 kilos. So that's a healthy weight loss. You're not really looking to lose more than 1 kilo a week and that's in combination with really healthy food and in combination with exercise. And another thing is guys, I don't really eat after 8. I'm just giving my body a little bit of a break so that... It kind of goes into a bit of a fasting from 8 o'clock till morning so that everything digests and every morning you wake up, you have lots and lots of energy. But yeah, this is going to be a really quick video because really... I'm just feeling good and I'm feeling very positive and I will do the shepherd's pie recipe on Saturday. I'll do it live and also I've discovered a new way how to make a fruit sorbet. I posted that on my Instagram. Some of you wanted to get the recipe but I will do it live as well. So maybe we'll do two in one recipes. And you won't believe what I'm using. I'm using chickpea juice and I've read about it online. I don't know if any of you read about it online before, but it's great. You just whisk it up like a normal egg white and you add fresh fruit. You freeze that and you have a sorbet which has literally pretty much no calories and it's amazing. So yeah, thank you Jazzy. Yeah, so I've got 10 more kilos to lose, that's my target. I get, um... And yeah, I don't know how many pounds that is, but anyway, yeah, so it's still quite a bit. So long way to go, but my targets are, you know, this is over one year, I'm talking about body fat loss as well, because losing weight is not always just that, you know, you build the muscle so you can weight heavier than you actually are. If you think, you know, you're eating healthy and losing weight and exercising, but you're actually building muscle. So it's very, very important to measure yourself as well. Measure your, you know, your stomach, measure your belly, measure everything, you know, because it's important. It's recorded. Stephanie, but after eight, I get so hungry. I'm hungry. Yeah, just the key thing is to drink water. And also if you drink peppermint tea. So peppermint or chamomile tea, if you drink that at night, first, it calms you down, and second, it kind of calms down your hunger, so really, really good. Hi, Nina! Привет! Привет всем! Привет всем, кто говорит по-русски! Um... Hello, Cristiana! Hi! Love from Latvia and God living in China. Wow, that's amazing. What are you doing in China? Hi, Phil, thank you. Yeah, so I'm just going to show you a few things that I made today. So this is, I'm about to have this after the live, so this is quinoa vegetable salad with some fresh cucumber, lettuce and also I've added some Brazil nuts in there. So you kind of have the crunch and everything really, really works together really well. Ciao. You must read about breathing yoga, it will change your life. Yes, I've done a couple of yogas before, so it's just the time finding it to practice, that's what's hard. And then guys, I made this spicy butternut and sweet potato soup, and it's really good, I'll show you. Thank you. here you go have a look i don't know if you can guys see see it's really nice yellow color really really healthy i've added some turmeric in there i've added um So it's got a lot of flavor, a lot of spice, and it fills you up as well, nice and warm. I'll Alla, what do you like about carrot recipes? Hi, Byron. see You asked me that before, I think. I just love carrots, everything. That's my thing. you Sabina, you have such a nice I love you accent. Thank you so much. That's really sweet. in And guys, for those of you who watched my live show last time, the you know how I burned myself. You've probably seen it on my Snapchat. next So just to show you, these are the marks from the burn. So they're still there, but it's recovering well. one. So, you know, I'm really, really... You know, I appreciate it so much for all of you who messaged me like with concerns and like suggestions when I burnt myself. So I really, really appreciate it. But it is healing. It was a first degree burn. So I didn't really, you know, I didn't hurt myself too much. Well, it was really painful back at the time, but it's okay now. Um, yeah, lastly, my calendar is up there. I can't take all of you up there, but I don't know if you can guys see, it's just there on my fridge and I'm ticking off the times, you know, good days and bad days. This is something I talked to you about before. If you're on a weight loss journey, make sure you tick off the days when you're good because it kind of makes you feel that you're doing well. You know, you go and look at the calendar and you're like, Actually, I had four good days and maybe one bad, but that's okay. Next day is going to be good again. I'm rambling too much. I'm so sorry, guys. I don't know if you guys... Nini, how do you keep fit once you have to stop workout because of the injuries? Oh okay, so first of all don't get injured, that's my advice number one, and secondly if you do get injured then not much you can do but then maybe change your diet. So I would eat probably a bit less calories because you're not moving. So if you know how much is your metabolic rate, so let's say my metabolic rate is 1,500 calories per day. So if let's say I don't exercise, I'll probably just eat that amount or even less. Because if you eat more, you're going to gain weight. So yeah, that's a bit tricky. Try not to get injured. How many subscribers do I have? I have... I'm not counting, but over 65,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. So guys, if you haven't subscribed yet, please do.
