Black cumin goes well on any savory dish.. I add it to the top of stir fry’s
I'm a huge fan of Greger and I use his tips since 2019 and I've kept my ideal weight for years now! Good work making this a quick video 😏
Lovely video Maddie. Thanks for sharing Dr G's book. I still haven't read this one ❤oh and black cumin: i buy the Nigella seeds and use on salads as well as spriknking on fruit. Doesn't taste like anything to me so works with savoury and sweet ❤
Great video. I am going to use some of these tweaks.
The one thing I refuse to do is weigh myself twice a day. Maybe once a week, But that’s as far as I’d go. As a recovered bulimic that would be an unhealthy obsession for me. I also wouldn’t have the eating window or fast. So I guess I just make a few tweaks here and there Bjt don’t obsess 😂❤ I am up at 5am everyday and have coffee first thing and then eat by 6 latest. So the window would be too hard. The addition of things I’m down for, the restriction just gives me stress vibes!
Oh this book is on m list for a while already. Think it is time now! And btw: I looove black cumin! It is kind of "peppery", herb and nutty. I really like it!
your body loses mass each time you exhale. weight management is a balance of carbon, as is all life on earth. calorie restriction seems to extend lifespan which is powerful motivation. taking walks after meals really helps
Re: Tweak #21 .. inversions are very common in yoga, e.g. headstand, but there are defnitely easier 'progressions', so you might want to check those out without the 'scare' you mention at the end. 🙂 Great overview all in all! Thanks for sharing!
Dr Greger <3 When I remember, I sprinkle black cumin on foods that I finish off with salt/pepper. I can't really taste it at all, but I use a lot of spices in my food. If i were just putting it on a plain steamed potato there might be a flavor.
I'm listening to this right now!
I'm waiting for a complete gastric bypass revision. I have bile pooling in my esophagus. I don't think I will be doing any inversions. And I don't do green tea. But I will drink hibiscus tea. I already have it onhand. Thanks so much for bringing my attention to this! I will be implementing most of them.
Great video Maddie. Thanks.
I use black cumin but I grind it so I really don’t taste it
I'd eat vegetables not fruits. Do you realize how much sugar am apple has? I'd also avoid any sugar with/after dinner (especially for women after 40.)
You crave snacks at night because you cut out meat from your diet. You're starving your body's kneed for cholesterol, natural V.D among many others
I think the top 4 tips are:
1) Drink a glass of water mixed with a 1-2 tsp of ACV 20 mins before a meal
2) No food after 7pm
3) Morning exercise before breakfast
4) Good sleep.
i am literally jamming general tso's into my mouth as i am watching this hahaha whoooops
Awesome video and timely for me. I was just looking at the black cumin I put in a jar some time ago! I will start using it again. I won’t be doing the trendelenburg either and I know I’d have a hard time with 1/2 tsp of cumin at lunch and dinner. I do use it and enjoy it but that would be hard for me. I think I can incorporate a good amount of the tweaks. Will you be doing some follow up videos with the tweaks you’re going to try?
Love it all, less black cumin seeds.
Those things really messed with my intestines / digestion.
While using it it felt like there were critters moving around my insides.
It might be that cooked in food it is ok, but I was using it ground, raw, and put then I put it into capsules.
So a little heads up for anyone that uses it – if you get issues with feeling like eels are constantly running around your insides, stop taking it. When your issues go away, try toasting the seeds first and then grinding and using it.
I just walked away. I already do so much healthy things I just decided that the BCS likely won't move the needle.
Love the channel and your vids!
just read his book on How Not to Die- I need to get the cholesterol down following a stroke. Working on going plant based. I need to figure out where to sneak in the 1/4 of turmeric the book suggested
I juat recently found your channel. Never heard of Dr. Gregor. A few of these tips seem pretty easy. 😊
You are the queen of B-roll! I love the way you edit these videos.
I liked this video – you motivated me to pull this book off my bookshelf. I love the audio idea. I wish Dr. Greger could make a supplement with all of that good stuff in it.
Weight loss =/= health I think thats a dangerous sentiment to put out
I ground the black cumin and found it was really bitter. I will try just sprinkling it on top of food. I keep forgetting to use it.
I really like Dr Greger. I especially like his Daily Dozen (free) app. I have probably got most of his books. I would prefer to see these tweaks as things to aspire to, rather than which must be done. Everyone has to make their own little compromises. I'd be happy to try the mild Trendelenburg inversions! And incorporating ginger and black cumin and so on will be fun to try. Fortunately, I've been a big fan of water and green tea for over 30 years. I think eating and living a healthy diet and lifestyle is something that we will always be tweaking as more research comes to light. Still, it's a good thing to stay flexible. All-or-nothing thinking has never served me well! Nice to see this video, Maddie! Warm greetings from the UK.
Hello doctor
Is it appropriate to do more than one sport per day for a 4-year-old kid ? Karate, swimming and football every exercise is for one hour
Thanks so much for these Tips. I LOVE your channel. Just ordered the scale too. I've been looking for something like this for a while and thanks so much for the code!
😁
I love black cumin. It goes so well on top of the avocado toast with some sour kraut. Delicious 😋
great video! I read the book several years ago and had forgotten much of what you covered. I must revisit for a refresher. FYI- I found a DYI broth powder mix that incorporates NOOSH, onion and garlic powder, ginger, turmeric and black pepper. As Black Cumin has a peppery flavor I'm going to sub that in. I love to make a cup of broth for a snack or when hungry- will get my healthy spices AND my water at once. I tweaked the vegan "chicken" broth powder recipe I found on "My Quiet Kitchen". I usually double the batch and use it often when making soups or even water sautéing to get some extra flavor. I limit the salt, don't add the optional sugar and up the turmeric, onion and garlic powders. I love your approach to plant-based eating, so approachable, practical and fun – not condescending or judgmental. Thank you!! ordering the scales today.
Thanks for the tip Maddie, as usual always very informative. I have the How Not To Die and I’m in the middle of it.
My biggest struggle is friends and family
Black cumin tastes like cumin but stronger than the traditional one
Thanks for breaking it down Maddie. I own the book and know most of these but I need to incorporate more. My biggest challenge is eating after 7 because I like my healthy snacks too!
Oh I've incorporated black cumin for a while now. I cant really taste it lol. Usually sprinkle on my bowls, salads or steamed veggies.
You convinced me to buy the book.
Also, my friend and I did an exchange and I now have her 8 quart Instant Pot. I've been doing mega food prep since. I can do so much more than with my 6 quart.
Because of your videos, I'm food prepping weekly. It's making a difference! ❤
We use the black cumin in most of indian cooking…
How did I miss this video?! Though I've already reached my weight goal (btw, I only weigh in once a week), in hindsight so much of what you explain makes sense. These tips will definitely help with weight (and overall health) maintenance. Thank you!🧡
Got the scale, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video 🎉
BMI is not a good measure for short people.
Hi Maddie, have you done a progress video on this. And what things do you think helped the most???
Barley has the texture of pasta and I love it in salads and marinara.
Hey, how fun to see a video of the 21 tweaks! Just popping in here to explain that the 12-hr feeding window is meant as the maximun time window, not that you need to be eating at the start and end of it. If you aim to be done eating by 7ish most days, you don't need to eat breakfast at 7. I regularly eat in about a 10-hr window, often getting breakfast maybe around 9ish after exercise and stuff, but if I need to grab breakfast much earlier, I just try to make sure that dinner hour does NOT drag past that 12-hr mark, if that makes sense. I think the main thing is, we don't want our fasted window shorter than 12 hrs…
I've had back cumin. As a topping for bread. It's absolutely delicious.
I have bought all 4 of his books….(2 research books and 2 cookbooks…. The TWEAKS are definitely worth using…. there's a new one out but not sure if I want to buy that one …I am not a vegan but a flexitarian as I do use dairy and fish/seafood but minimally…beans are my main protein source) … I think that people need to realize that it doesn't have to be all or nothing in order to use your diet to improve your health…. I do get in the DOZEN everyday… The spices you have brought up are often combined in curries…. I am a big fan of your videos and have learned a LOT from you that I have adopted…especially the MEAL PREP!!….
