Eating HUGE portions to get LEAN + Honest body chat

Watching your videos everyday really helps keep me consistent, I’ve lost 102lbs over the last 3 years and you’ve helped so much with that so Thank you! Keep doing what you’re doing Ami! X

I’m so happy I found your channel. You’re such a breath of fresh air! ❤

As always, I love your health related ramblings. such fun food ideas!

You’re so cute. You have a lot of words😁, which are all very beneficial. You express things that I am thinking. Keep the ideas coming. ❤

Your so fun to hang out with. I love your sense humour! I cook a lot like you do. When my kids were young they would look in the fridge and say, "there's nothing to eat" then I would go in the fridge and make a great meal by pulling out this and that just like you do. It's a great way to use what you've got and get used to making it taste delicious. The risoto looks delicious. Thanks for hanging out with us. ❤

You are an enormous inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing all the recipes. You make everything look so easy and tasty also. It is not easy to see such an authentic person on social media, I am so happy that you exist. 💚🌱🐷

Ami, you are so funny! Haha, the voice of Borat in your head! 😆 I can relate to your issue of having lots of starches and beans in your house that are not being used efficiently and being more conscious of spending on food. Sometimes I realize how much food I have in my house and get a little anxious that I need to use it up. Grains stay around forever here. Recently, we had a power outage and I started thinking about all the fresh food and frozen food I have in my fridge/freezer and my spare fridge in the garage (I had just shopped at Costco earlier that day and bought gigantic bags of 2 kinds of frozen vegetables). I love to batch prep meals and freeze some for future meals. However, in the event of a power outage, I could literally lose all of it through spoilage. I vowed to myself to reduce my food inventory in the fridge and freezer, which I have been doing. It's a balance between having ready prepped meals on hand and having too much stored. At least the grains and beans are dry and have a long shelf life. I think I can still batch prep but not to the degree I have been doing. I also need to realize that I do not have to have an extra bag of every type of frozen fruit and vegetable in the freezer. I can wait until I actually run out to buy another bag. That is what I need to work on. You mentioned mango chutney in a previous video). It is not huge in the USA, but I've seen it at Trader Joe's. BTW, my name is Vi (rhymes with "pie"). I am a 67 year old Grandma of 5 from New York and I really love your channel. Your children are so adorable and enjoyable to watch!

I love oat groats and don’t make them enough. The risotto veggie thing looks really yummy! I am with you on food expenses. I spend far too much each week on groceries. I really need to budget better and use up what I have already.

Looking forward to you using what you have at home in order to reduce your food budget. I live far from the grocery store, so don't have a chance to stock up on tons of fresh fruit and veg frequently. I definitely rely on grains and beans. Sweet potatoes aren't cheap either, but I often buy russets which are inexpensive here. Lots of green cabbage for nightly salads. Frozen fruit for smoothies.

Mary's Test Kitchen here on Youtube has several videos on making tofu from all kinds of beans.

Oh don’t think I have ever had oat grist’s. You are the recipe queen. Love you and your family so much. Have a great day!

Hi Ami, you likely have a 'plan' for making yogurt but I wanted to share that Miyoko Schinner recently (like several months ago) posted three yogurt recipes. While Soy (using WestSoy) is my favorite yogurt, I found the oat yogurt Miyoko Schinner shared interesting. It turned out quite thick - which I'm sure could be adjusted. Looking forward to your yogurt experiments.

In the gym, start increasing the weights, you need to do about up to 15 reps to muscle failure. Using the big leg/ glutes muscles, Romanian Deadlifts (RDL,s) Weighted hip thrusts. Weighted walking lunges, weighted split squats. Same with back/ arms etc, You get the idea. Keep up your routines, you’ll see your abs coming through more.

Hi Ami, when I heard you discussing the idea of how lean you might want to be and wondering is doing what it takes to get there worth the struggle. And my suggestion to you is to check inside yourself for what the motivation is that is driving you to consider getting more lean. Sometimes we want a result but are not sure WHY. So the best thing that you can do is find what your WHY is . Then you’ll have your answer as to whether or not doing what it takes is worth the struggle to get there.

Gosh, me too. My pantry is overflowing! I can’t wait to hear your new menus.

This is THE BEST channel 🎉

Ami, could you have a go to make a stew and dumplings? Don’t know if it would work, but your own version? ❤️🙏🏻💚

Thank you so much for speaking about budget. Just added up our October shop total and was dismayed! Love your content!

I love your DIY style and trying to expand your repertoire into self made components! One I love and is really great for the gut is Sauerkraut and it’s super easy to make!
