Didn’t expect to see this in the comments. Signed up for the 1yr because this channel is consistently on point with information and the recipes are great.
Fatigue can also indicate undereating in general. As someone with adhd i often forget to eat cause im bad at recognising my hunger cues which always leads to fatigue
Oh my gosh, I am in my mid 30s and I still have this issue.... ADHD runs insanely rampant through my family. I never considered the correlation!!
I have recently discovered this might be a problem of mine. It makes so much sense once you know.
I am just the same, ADHD adult in their 30s... Remembering to take care of myself is so hard.
My husband with ADHD has this same problem. He once went on a short solo vacation and lost 15 lbs from his already thin frame. He simply forgot to eat much of the time. 😬 A frequent question the kids and I ask when he returns from work each day is "Did you eat or drink anything today? "
..........that's an ADHD thing?
As someone in recovery from an eating disorder, I wanted to say THANK YOU for a nutrition video that doesn't demonize different foods!! My heart sank when I heard you mention fast and slow absorbtion carbs, but then I realized you were looking at it as "these different foods have different nutritional purposes" and I couldn't have been happier to hear it! This type of information is SO IMPORTANT, and I'm so grateful to you for this balanced, science-based, and holistic nutrition advice!
Sending you strength and love ❤️
i hope your recovery goes well dear :)
Yes, she's amazing :) She is not restrictive like other dieticians. By the way, I like your profile picture
All the best on your journey of recovery ❤️🩹 You are so strong 💪🏻
@James Declerk and stupidity a disease that hurts the healthy ppl ¬¬ Go away. Shoo! Shoo! Out of this channel! Go elsewhere with your silly comments!
Overview: 1) Eating time consistency in linked to sleep cycle 2) Eating the breakfast might help us be more energized (Also linked to good sleep) 3) More protein consumption is linked to better sleep (But not overdose which could backfire) 4) quick digesting carbs (simple carbs) help us fall sleepy earlier, so a meal could be planned accordingly 5) Slow digesting carbs are also high in fiber which help in slow and steady release of energy trough the day 6) vitamin deficiency could impact sleep 7) Banana + almond butter make up for a great sleep meal 8)Caffeine takes 8 hours to get out of our system, so consume caffeine 8 hours before sleep 9)Not being hydrated could be one of the key reasons for feeling tired very often (Could place a cup by table as a reminder or flavor for making it easy to hydrate) 10)Effect of Fat, Salt etc.. on sleep and a lot more info about this topic in general available on the link in the description.
Thanks for the summary.
Better not drink coffee as it dehydrates the body in general & worsens minerals absorbtion like Iron and Calcium for example 😑 It's a pity humans get used to it easily :)
Nice summary but maybe you didn't get point number 8. Caffeine is still in our system 8 hours later. If you really need to drink coffee, drink it in the early afternoon at the latest.
i dont understand how simple carbs make you sleep earlier
@@Edelvais20 Hi! This is what I understood: they digest faster so when you go to bed your body is not still working on breaking them like what happens with the slow ones. Slow digestive ones= the body gets energy from them for longer period of time :)
Girl, it's time for you to have your own tv cooking show! You were born to do this!!!
Seriously!!!
This is her *show* 🥳✨🥳🌬️💐✨💘💖💝🍉🌿🍃🍍🍒🍓🌞🎇🍾💘🎡
1. Wake-up/ Sleep around same time 2. Eat around the same time 3. Intake simple carbs after evening/ complex carbs/ protein during morning 4. No caffeine after afternoon 5. Hydration is important (eat fruits, veggies
Thanks for the summary - just a heads up, for #1 it's more about eating at the same times (rather than sleeping/waking at the same time, although that might help too), and for #3 enjoy protein the whole day, not just morning 😉
Pretty interesting topic.....sadia these videos are so helpful like last video on inflammation,Please keep posting such an informative videos often thank u
@@PickUpLimes I really like Sadia that you take time to correct it. Love you for that. By the way , I watched the whole video.

Nurse doing shifts... Help?
As a pre med student I’m constantly feeling stressed and drained and I have to admit sometimes I don’t always make the right food choices just out of Convenience so this couldn’t have come at a better time! 🙏🏽thanks for doing research on this I’ll definitely try to get back on a food schedule and be more conscious of the food I’m consuming 💜
lol med student and here we see again how they are not learning the real medicine. food, herbs.
It's a bit of a feedback loop too, isn't it? I'm that way all the time. If I'm stressed I don't eat as well, and then that makes me feel more drained, adds to the stress, and the loop continues. But I remind myself that even small changes can go a long way. I'm glad to hear what we shared might be helpful, Khalilah. All the best with your studies!
@@PickUpLimes exactly!! Definitely a cycle I want to break so thanks for the help ☺️
Wow. Here you are again. Every single video I click on, you're there.
@@moodyowl Can you blame her? It's great content :)
How did I never realise that the “crash” I get from quick digesting carbs could be used to my advantage?! 🤦♀️ Another reason to try and let go of the “good” and “bad” food talk!
I love the way your videos are edited, especially this one! The diff frames of cooking, prepped meals, the various cut fruits and vegetables, the background set up of you talking, the way you’re talking to us (feels like it’s one on one and your voice is always so calming), visuals in general, etc. I also really like the way you explained the process of what protein/carbs are broken down into and how they help with serotonin and sleep. All the efforts of the PUL team are noticed and I’m amazed every time by how everything comes together! Thank you so much for sharing your videos!! You guys are amazing!️
Other channels: let’s take an intermission for an ad break. Sadia: let’s take an intermission so I can show you more amazing food and snacks ❤️
True, but even when Sadia has a sponsered video she still makes it relevant and helpful, for example all those incredible audible books she has suggested
I’m a shift worker. Would be interested in how food might help me avoid fatigue when a consistent sleeping and eating schedule is not a possibility.
You are once again so easy to understand when you’re talking about complex things like nutrition. Thank you for making these videos!
This is perfect. I’ve been struggling with insomnia and fatigue lately, so great timing!
These videos are so informational and soooo refreshing in the middle of this whole diet culture! I'm always thrilled to learn something about the context and the correlations instead of just demonizing certain foods. Thanks a lot for sharing!🥰
Thanks so much, Anett! 🌻
This wouldn't be good nutritional advice . This video is actually harming more than anything
who want to see oman beauty plz do check my chanel
@@S___________ why do you say that? Can you please elaborate on why you think so?
@@S___________ why is this damaging ?
Thank you Sadia for the well-documented content you share with us. I find that the PUL videos are better and better over time, well staged and all ! Good job to the whole team 🤗
I love the gentle and factual way you guys present info!
I so love how you are able to condense so much research into such an easy to watch and informative video. It's a real talent!
Great simple format with loads of info! I also thoroughly enjoyed the article that goes along with this topic. I’ve honestly never seen someone that puts their information through so clearly and succinctly. The tram at PUL is doing an incredible job and I feel blessed to have found your content🙏
Thank you guys for the work you do! It’s really helpful and easy to integrate in a daily routine 💚
I love that you create content related to the health as a whole... love it and I appreciate and admire how after so much research, work and effort you just put it short and clear in less than 10 mins... thank you! ❤️
i just love to watch this lady speak! every time! she has such a positive vibe
Hi Sadia! Love this video! I hope that one day you can come out with a video like this one but for those who suffer from chronic ulcerative colitis. This will help me a lot!
This is so helpful! I'm doing a nutrion course right now and your videos are so helpful to make me understand all the processes. Thank so much for this high quality content🙏🏼
This was FOR SURE one of the best educational videos ive ever seen, clear short and sweet with a great research base and lots of condensed pieces of information... i wish my uni teachers could be 1/10 as effective explaining complicated topics as this is
Wow this video and ur blog was so well-written and researched! So eye-opening and inclusive of different lifestyles while encouraging small changes! Love how you didn't say coffee is bad, just limit it near bedtime. Vitamins aren't bad, but strive to get it in food. White rice isn't bad, it just digests quicker. Animal protein isn't bad, it just doesn't promote sleep as well as plant protein options etc etc! This is the way to educate people!!!
I love this kind of videos so much that I even marked this one as a Favourite to remember to read the article later! Thank you so much for the information and, even more, for inspiring me to live healthier 💚 I am starting a new chapter in my professional life and my circadian rhythm is going to suffer even more (I was already a flight attendant, now I'll have night flights), but I'll still try to start exercising and prioritise healthier food choices again! I was one of those people who underestimated the power caffeine, but since I stopped drinking coffee after dinner (not on purpose, I just moved to a place without a coffee machine), I understood how much better I sleep - and how much quicker I fall asleep! 😱
Every time I'm amazed by the great quality of the videos and the content. And all that for free! So thank you guys!
The sheer amount of information you shared in this video! Plus, the comprehensive blog plost, all for free! Now I feel super silly for waiting sooo long after subscribing to actually watch your videos. You're excellent at explaining in a way everyone will understand, no matter their level of knowledge on the topic. The visuals are stunning, and the structure is super clear. Congrats and thank you!
Nutrition can seem such a daunting process to learn and understand. I truly appreciate the simple and informative way this video was structured. Very interesting, thank you.
This video really is for me. I always assumed that because I love veggies and have a good relationship with food I don't have to pay attention to what I eat, but I am very sensitive in many ways, and I know for SURE that food can have a big impact on how I feel. But the research is just so overwhelming! There's so much information, it's always too complex, or oversimplified 😄
Wow, Sadia! The bit about slow and quick digesting carbs was so fascinating - I never knew why some carbs tended to make me feel much sleepier after consuming than others. Thank you so much for this video! Extremely informative and entertaining as always
Such helpful tips in this video! Having a lot to do, but no motivation to do it is the worst. Helping others to persevere and find their motivation is the way to live full out.
I just love all the research you present but even more the nonjudgmental way you present it! Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much for providing such quality research and putting it so simple and digestible so that everyone can apply it! 💗
Sadia..... I have never been in love with a youtuber for soo long.... Usually most of the youtubers lose their authenticity when they grow... Or usually my tastes change.... But you have been in my favorite from the day i viewed your video a few years back!!!! You are just awesome , hardworking and talented women.... Sending all my love to PUL team❤🤝
Please do a “part 2” of this topic with the other things you mentioned towards the end of this contest. Super helpful 👏 Thanks!
This video comes at just the right time when I'm dealing with the spring fatigue in Nordic. Thank you so much! It's always enjoyable and mind-blowing to watch your videos.
I really want to thank you from my heart. You made my life a little light 🦋 You are doing so perfect
Yes please, make more videos about this! You're probably the only person who can tell me "it would be good if you started eating breakfast" and i actually consider it, because you're so lovely and nice about it
your videos give me inner peace! the infos , ur voice and how everything organized are so fascinating! THANK YOUUU!
I've been trying to work on getting a more balanced diet, increasing my protein intake and eating more natural sources of iron and vit D after my recent deficiences, so this video coulnd't have come at a better time! Thank you so much for your content, it helps me out a lot! Much love xx
Thank you so much for all the effort PUL!! Nutrition made easy!
ive been following you for a while and I love many videos BUT this one has to be my FAVOURITE! It’s perfect and exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Everytime i come to ur videos, not only do u make us feel a certain way (calm and happy) bt u provide us something new to learn and think about! ❤️sending so much love and light to u! Reading your article now and loving that u geek out and share that with us! As always, keep smiling and posting more beautiful work !! Your visuals are exceptional!! Shows how much passion u work with!
I've been making the hummus recipe you showed us about a year ago. I always go to your channel first to find recipes! I've watched so many of your videos. I like your style and I love your vegan approach. I am still working on adding more beans and nuts to my diet. Thanks for showing us a healthy vegan diet!
I appreciate the foods first approach, and not expensive supplements. And you make it all sound so easy to implement.
Thank you for making this knowledge so accessible for us, and for your great positive energies- I feel it go through the screen and inspire me 😌
Ever since I have gone vegan (1 month now!) I have noticed I have a lot more sustained energy throughout the day and no afternoon fatigue at all! As well as MUCH better bowel movement 😁
That's only the first year. Good luck with it.
Stay healthy and completely possible to continue. 6 years + vegan and only icky and tired when eat lots of processed food. Remember you can also be an unhealthy 🌱 vegan✌🏽
@@othersbyuri unhealthy vegan here 😂 we're rly out here struggling
Lol shitting a lot doesn't equate to good health
@@lorilee1931 been vegan for 4 years, still experiencing the same positives as Thais mentioned. Don't know what you based your opinion on
Sadia thank you for such helpful information!!! This channel is a peaceful and relaxing place for escaping the stressful life 🥰🥺
I love all the content that's provided on this channel, just listening gives me the energy to get up and do a food list or make something. Thank you.
I swear you are so calming and peaceful, I hope you spread your beautiful energy to the world. Thank you for your video it really helped 💙
Love the video! Definitely since I’ve changed to healthy diet I have much energy, and also I respect a good sleep, so trying to go to bed at the same time every day, this has reduced my migraines that I got sometimes
We as humans often try to drift away and forget to check on our food consumption and schedule. Thank you for a friendly reminder. Love your content. it is so helpful and yes I love the way you speak.☺️👍
This video could not have come at a better time. I've been feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep I get and this video has helped me identify aspects/points that might be causing this fatigue. Thanks, as always, for a very informative and wonderfully made video!
I don't feel this way about most, but I love how you speak. Your choice of words is fascinating and beautiful
4:46 Thats so true i started taking magenisium supplements 3 weeks ago. i was prescribed to do so cause my eyes and my feet didnt stop twitching for over a month and now that i take magnesiumi already feel soo much better
Currently on a weight loss/ healing journey and my energy levels fluctuate so much. Hopefully switching to a plant based diet can help with this. Thanks for the share.
Go animal based save yourself the trouble. Seeds and vegetables are not food
@@S___________ I don't eat solely plant based myself, my body wouldn't handle it well due to a lot of food intolerances. So I understand that for some people it just makes sense. But seeds and vegetables are, in fact, food, and it doesn't help to say they aren't.
love how your videos are so educational and interesting at the same time and your voice is so calming too .
I really love the way you make your videos and explain everything in a simple way! Thank you for all this valuable information, Sadia! ❤️
Brilliant video! Please do one for sleep today to help in sleep and calming food! Love the content as always 💗
I enjoyed every dietful video a lot and really appreciate the knowledge of you and the help you gave me to look at things in a more healthy way. You also made me realize that meals don't need to be complicated and difficult, it really can be fast and easy. Thanks so much for help.”❤️
Just want to say I love your videos. They are educational and entertaining while being very calming at the same time! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Hands down.....my favorite YT channel! Thank you for making another informative, helpful and beautiful video!
As a prediabetic I love the info in this video! Any chance you’d do a video about insulin resistance?
This is a great idea! It would also be helpful for those with PCOS.
@@katcross8810 that would be so nice
This was so interesting Sadia! I also read the article. I feel like it's a lot of information and I really want to integrate this into my eating habits. I'm not too far off, but still not quite there. Could you make a pdf with some examples of days of eating integrating all these things? I would pay for that! Thanks and sending hugs!
informative, simple and soothing to watch. I'm so used to watching health videos that leave me feeling overwhelmed or unmotivated. Thank you for including research links 🙏
I just love your channel so much! After I saw your minimalist bullet journal video in 2021, I started bullet journaling and it totally changed my life. Now I want to get more into nutrition and your videos are helping a lot! ❤🙏
Could you probably add the audio file of your nutrition/lifestyle/habit shaping-videos on Spotify? I love listening to them while cleaning or cooking and it would be great to also have access to them when I'm on my way somewhere
Can’t share anything but love for you ❤
I am so elated to see you back. Thank you.
I was literally searching what to eat to get more energy and avoid fatigue after lunch these few days!! really helpful and informative video! thanks!
Thank you and your team for all your amazing vides - you have made transitioning to a plant based diet and lifestyle much more easier with your tips and delicious recipes. Not sure if this is possible, but I would love to see a video on plant based nutrition for expecting mothers and for young children and what your recommendations (and recipes!) are in the future. Thanks :)
I love this!! Becoming more aware of my food choices has been the biggest gamechanger in my life regarding a good night of sleep. Would really love to hear more about scientific explanations/facts on the impact of eating sugars & sweets in the night as well, because I realized how the reason I couldn't sleep as a kid and teenager was often that I ate a lot of sugar really late which also makes us more awake and stimulates our brain like caffeine. Everybody knows about coffee I feel, but this went under my radar for sooo long. (I don't do sugars/sweets much these days apart from fruits) but I'd love for more people to know about this!! Much love🤗
hi checkout this chanel
I just found you from a friend and I’m so in love with your videos. Thank you 🙏🏽 for everything that you do . And just came across an older video that your engaged , cannot wait to see that one . Congratulations to you both ♥️🥂♥️
This is my first time on your channel and i immediately fell in love with your work. Free recipes, disclaimers, facts and behind stories, topics i wanted to be better at and just know more... wow, guess i won't feel tired anymore now😂❤
Sadia, this is the best nutritional channel / advice I have seen. I am a practicing physician and nearly everyone I encounter is suffering from fatigue etc. and ask me about "anything that i can do to help myself". I frequently refer my patients to your channel, hope you don't mind! Please keep up the good work.
One minute, 47 views and a 100 likes. You are SO loved ❤️ (and very very worth it!)
This video was extremely helpful Sadia for me in person to dentify the root cause of my constant fatigue. It was my poor water intake clubbed with irregular timings of my meals. Even though they are balanced. Thank you for making it so simple to understand. Stay blessed
Thank you Sadia for this video. I'm 19 years old and I travel alot due to university and I feel tired everyday from the time I wake up. This video made me aware of the reason why I feel like that. I'll try to incorporate this things in my life now. ❤️
Just woke up from a nap when I got this notification, absolute perfect timing, must have been a sign from the universe
Amazing content full of insightful information! I have only one question: how do you keep yourself so happy and jolly all the time? Love your attitude and vibe you give off, so full of positivity!
Thank you so much for doing the research and making this video! This makes so much sense. I eat out maybe twice a month, but otherwise I have only moderate to very healthy homemade meals every day. I havent been sick with even a cold for the last few years and often told "I dont know anyone who eats healthier than you". However, work stress continues to take a toll on my brain and body and I often have a hard time sleeping at night, having energy in the morning, or avoiding a 4pm crash. What I havent done, is really considered the timing of certain foods I consume that will help my body throughout the day. I'll keep these tips in mind moving forward. Thank you, Sadia!!
Love love all your videos and ideas. I wish I had enough time to view and listen to everything. Your health tips and hints, ideas are just what we all need to learn from. Thank you for helping us 🙏🏻
Just what I needed!!! ♥ this channel never disappoints. Plot twist: I tried to get off of caffeine but as it turns out, with a neurodivergent brain that has ADHD, caffeine has the opposite effect. I cannot sleep well without drinking it in the evening, minimum only 2 hours until bed time. 😇 😊
This is such a timely video for me. Thanks for always putting out such thoughtful and helpful content. I would love to hear your thoughts/research on how to eat for hormonal changes. Aging and hormone changes have made weight maintenance so much harder than it ever used to be. Some guidance would be much appreciated! :-)
I'm dealing with fatigue right now. Thank you for this video!
Really struggling with this at the moment, so it felt reassuring to have this to ground me. Thank you 🌸
Love your videos so much ❤️ Its informative and super fun to watch. Wanted to convey my thanks to you and your team for putting in so much effort and gifting these beautifully crafted contents to the world. P.s. I really miss your tea time tuesday videos. Would love to watch them more often 😊
Thank you, Sreeradha, and for sure! It's on my radar to make some more TTTs :)
@@PickUpLimes Looking forward to it!! Thank you so much 😍😊
Thank you cause I've been missing tea time Tuesdays, too.
Thank you tremendously for your videos. I am not vegan but I’m still learning a ton about nutrition and love making vegan meals a few times a week!
When she doesnt mention vegan i forget its all vegan🤣 cause meat is never missed in her recipes 😍
Just today I was looking for remedies for fatigue. It can be so demotivating. Can't thank you enough for posting this video🤗
I really needed this today. Thank you Sadia! I will definitely try to break my fast in the morning to see if it helps with my 5-7pm tiredness.
I love you so much as a person ..and my whole family enjoys your great recipes I have just switched from being a vegetarian to a vegan it feels so happy and satisfying My Love and Support to you from India 🙌💞💞💞❤❤❤
Please explore iodine deficiency and thyroid function for vegans. Over the last decade or two it's become fashionable in the wellness community to use pink salt or sea salt or kosher salt as opposed to table salt which means that vegans are only getting iodine from sea vegetables and dietary supplements. I realized recently that I have no natural sources of iodine in my daily diet since it's just not practical where I live to eat seaweed daily. Iodine is necessary for thyroid function and low thyroid function can cause fatigue as well as a whole host of problems with depression, raised cholesterol, hypertension, and more.
and to top it off, a lot of foods are eliminated for thyroid sufferers. i take them anyway but would like to know if theres an alternative diet .
read the book The Iodine Crisis by Lynne Farrow. Very informative, easy read.
Eggs have iodine in si there is a natural source.
@@alwoo5645 eggs are not vegan. The discussion here is about a vegan diet. There are plenty of non-vegan sources of iodine.
@@alexreith4877 thats the problem with a vegan diet
Thanks so much for doing all that research and putting this video together! I have recently transitioned to a whole food plant-based diet. I felt so good and was sleeping so much better and now I know why and how to explain it to others. :)
please do more of this kind of videos! Love it! High quality information within a short time 🥰
Love from Mexico! ❤
I have rheumatoid fatigue I think, and it’s something I just discovered recently was a thing. I’ve been tired and rundown feeling since 2013 and no one told me. I’d love to find some tips for autoimmune issues and how to avoid fatigue with that bc it seems like nothing helps except (sometimes) B12. I’m planning to go back to a mostly plant-based if not completely plant based diet ASAP. (I don’t buy the groceries bc I live with my parents and I’m disabled.) I wanted to understand nutrition from the standpoint of rheumatoid and how plant-based/ vegan can help.
Talk to a nutritionist, it's ridiculous to think that a KZheadr should know and be an expert on how different diseases interact with their preferred diet. She cannot tell you these things and it's important so take it seriously. You could also try the tips and see if they help.
@@ASmith-jn7kf I thought she was a nutritionist. Chill.
Dear Sadia, your videos release tonts of serotonin, they really do!
