Hey my friends!! Thought I'd experiment by taking away the one thing I use the most!! Hope you enjoy!! Lots of love as always xx

No thank you for puting all the hard work for doing this vid

Natacha Océane I an day 1 into not using my phone as much in the morning , and i can’t believe how much more i’ve gotten done! Mind blown 🤯

@Tedi Backlund well done that's amazing! I don't have Facebook anymore and don't have the Instagram app on my phone im so happy since I deleted them!

Natacha Océane I have not had Facebook for almost a year and instagram since August. Honestly the best thing I ever did. Unfortunately social media took up so much of my personal time and I didn’t realize it until I deleted it. It’s been wonderful. I focus way more of my actual time being in the moment and present for things. Not many people my age (28) can say they don’t have social media. I really don’t think I’ll ever get another account again.

Natacha Océane so awesome that you’re donating to a homeless shelter ❤️

That was interesting! Hugs

When someone gave me a real life paper photograph, I instinctively touched it and tried to "zoom" in using my fingers. Loooool

I love how Natacha adds the little note at the end of the video that she is going to be donating to a local charity. U go girl! I love that. U just made my heart soar! 💖💘

What leggings are these at 5:30??

The way you call Mario Baba is so adorable 😍

I once went without a phone for 10 weeks only because I was participating in a volunteer programme in a rural area. It was a very peaceful experience ☺️

I seperated my phone from me today and I got a lot done and I was super productive. Going on tomorrow. :)

Sry but this literally had me dying 😅 3:53

watching this 0n my phone--

Do you stil use the routine?? I hope you do.... I use my phone also verry minimum Normally 4 or 7 ours now 30 mins..😂

I really hard to understand your English accent because i usually hear american accent. Hehe its very interesting. I learn English british which used in some countries 😀

One year and a bit down the line, so tell me, Natacha - did you manage to do what you said towards the end of the video about having the phone elsewhere when working... Be interesting to hear if you continued over the year :)

Damn. 60 days a year. That really opened my eyes. I honestly can’t believe it. I really want to try this.

I took a week off of social media and it felt great! I wanted to give me mind space to create instead of so much consuming of information. I definitely felt that free space in my mind while doing it. I didn’t miss being on social media at all! Great, inspiring video Natacha!

Imagine you get your laptop with you to the gym for the music 😂😂

Worst portable device ever 😂😂

I know this video is a bit old, but how did you do it? I’m addicted to my phone.. I seriously can’t get off it, Can you please share some tips on how, thankyou so much

Just found your channel, I’m so glad I did! I love your content. I’ve watch this video and the marine and army fit tests! 😊

Excellent video!! ♥️♥️

I had to grab my calculator when I saw the '60 days on phone per year' fact... I just couldn't... But it's right. OhMyGod. What. And I have to admit that sometimes it goes far further than 4hrs a day. Damn, it's time to slow down. Also I aprecieate the amazing intro, your profesionalism and the serious information. Great video! ✨❤️

Yeah i need to try this! Im always constantly on my phone. It's like a drug now for me and im hooked. Hmm. I should get one of those old phones where you can call, text and play snake. That's it. I should try that out.

Hey I’m living in Vancouver and I’m doing the same challenge this week I found You’re channel and I loved it .

I love your jewelry!!! Where is it from?

Smartphone is very useful as a tool and connection devices. If you delete and stop using YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, it'll help a lot.

hey girl! where is your black jeans jacket from? love this video! i always do one to two days without my phone or i leave it in the house when i go out

Your videos are so thought provoking and creative. So well thought out. Absolutely love every single one!

I have no idea how you went to the gym without music, good for you.

I lost my phone and I'm 17. My mom is not going to buy me one, which is reasonable. But I don't have a job and I'm not looking. So it's going to have to take me a while to save up. This is going to be a struggle.

Air max 270s🔥

So by making a to-do list on my phone I basically build myself a trap for productivity..

I Don phone detox for 2 months first day it was hard

I did this for 7 months, not so bad

you look exceptionally beautiful in this video for some reason

This is brilliant you gem, thanks for doing. Lots to learn.

Would you be open to trying an experiment on going Keto (ketogenic diet) and how it works😊😊

I love your necklace! I see it in every video, do you ever take it off?

I absolutely loved the video idea ! It made me realize I check my phone during work too much too! I also think it’s awesome that you’re giving your ad revenu from this video to the homeless. You’re amazing ❤️

Ha! Try two years...been there done that. If people needed to get into contact with me they had to email me lol. It great though because you become very active and productive! Also awesome video I enjoyed it.

Phones are more accessible than laptops. That's why it's addicting. You can use it anywhere and anytime. And you don't need a table or to sit down.

what an aesthetic. i wanna read a book!!!

The intro (and the whole thing) was so well edited! Love this!!!!

LOVE the fact that the ad revenue is going to help others! You’re truly amazing Natacha and a great inspiration to so many. Blessed to have found you! ❤️🙏🏽

It’s not that bad I mean, not as bad as only using your phone only twice a week.. every week 😑

Can you please do a I workout once a week for a month or something experiment. I’m super busy with uni and when it’s like a month before exams I just don’t workout as much as I want to. I think some people can relate to that too. I want to know what would happen to my body during those periods. Or can you please explain to me if you’re not interested in making the video ly x

Natacha Océane thank you so much this’s helped a lot. I should’ve known asking someone who’s pretty much does fitness for a living to decrease their training is a bit silly haha but now that I know I can still maintain my muscle mass even if I train once a week I’m not too stressed for my fitness level as I’m already stressed for the exams. Ty ly💖

Hey sweetie! Love the idea!! I will see what I can do though it might not be possible as I post so much workout stuff on Instagram! Have you watched my video on what happens to your body when you take 2 weeks off training? In short, the results are negligible. If you can train once a week only then you will likely see that your fitness levels decrease a little but if you’re smart about your training and do a full body workout then you should be able to maintain most of your muscle mass even on one workout a week ( if you have recorded your weights and reps etc. You’ll be able to keep track of this). In terms of food, as you’ll be training less you won’t need as much as you won’t be expending as much. That doesn’t mean you should decrease your calories too far however as this will lead to your body using your muscles for energy. If you’re unsure how many calories you need a good place to go to is macronutrientcalculator.com and put in your stats (: Hope this help’ lots of love cxx

We don’t really have phone booths anymore . Or even pay phones .

as i’m watching this ON MY PHONE

I love that your videos are never gimmicky or made just to get views. Most people would settle for a glute workout from a fitness YouTuber, but you explore health as a combination of sleep, diet, and habits, and I think that is SO POWERFUL. Such a fantastic message. It’s content like this (and your “I Halved My Sleep”) that I particularly love the most. Your channel is one of my favorite because of this!!

I love the way you emphasize productivity and mental health so much!

P.s. think this was harder than a food challenge

All your videos are always super useful, love the content!

Hey Natacha! First of all I loved the video!! 1) I couldn't have done the workout without music 2) other than that I can easily ignore my phone the whole day 3) the only number that are not mine (I have three for 3 different countries 🤓😳) is my Mom's as well 4) looking for phone booth in London in a seemingly red coat by accident... 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 5) actually, I find it very sad that for many people it's a getaway from real life where they avoid normal human contact; it's inspiration to live a life that seems perfect, however, it's 100% curated to the best and only the best moments... Even though it promotes connection, most of the time is disrupts it today. 😳

I just had a week without a phone too as I went hiking, it’s crazy how much less anxious and more happy I feel overall when it’s all switched off. Cheers natacha for another beaut video you are a gem

Very interesting video! The whole waiting-for-people-to-show-up would probably drive me nuts. Using the phone booth seems so much fun though! P.S. Thanks for donating the ad money to a charity :)

I broke my phone 2 and a half years ago and I got it fixed but I kept breaking it (dropping it) and I go sick of paying for some to fix it so I just left it, and I ended up living without a phone for almost 3years 😂😂 I only got one now becausey partner brought me on but even still I haven't gone and topped it up

I few weeks ago I did "a week without Instagram" and it completely changed my view. Now I feel like it doesn't control me, instead, I am the one who is in control. When I'm studying I just leave my phone in another room or I hide it because if I don't see it I don't feel like checking it. I'm so happy that you did this week and you learned from it💙 Also the fact that you talked to homeless people and you're gonna give the money to a charity is amazing! I love it! Hope you have a good week💙

You know what would be really fun? A full workout with only a stability ball

So interesting, my phone is way too addicting!

I genuinely want to try this phone detox. It’s seriously surprising how much we rely on our phones just to have something to stimulate our minds with, when in reality, the whole world around us can do that!

Ha i rhought u was in America not here in london

The ending

This is so different from your other videos but I absolutely loved it. I’m glad you covered how phones both help and hurt us! Definitely going to try to cut back a bit myself 😊

I have been here, and I can say I have found my balance, just go to settings and turn off the notifications of every app, except Gmail or something important. But I have turned the notification off for all my shopping apps, games, social media everything, I just check them when I want to now. ✌️

You’re such a babe with a big heart, love that you’re donating to the homeless ❤️❤️❤️ you’re such a motivation in so many ways!! Have a lovely day!

I left Facebook. I love life!!

Loved this video! I might try something like this so I can find a better balance because I'm always distracting myself with my phone. I would love to see a video on what apps you find really useful!

I think this was some of your best videos, very interesting and true

I think if you substitute the phone alarm with an alarm clock you could have substituted Spotify with an old MP3-Player or similar for your workout :) but apart from that, great video!

Ahh if you knew how much digging I did for my old iPod nano! 😂🙈 I was so keen to do that because a week of workouts without music was... 🙃 Thank you!! ☺️

What a great idea 💡

omg i want to do this

loved this video!

where is your watch from?

Love these kinds of challenge/experiment videos. Great as always ❤️

I quit social media for a couple days and had the same realization as you! I am writing a blog post about it, i will link your video on it!

I have to ask, what kinda lens/camera did you use to shoot this video? It's insannneely good looking. I'm guessing a Sony A7 or A7r w/35mm lens with a looow aperture

@Natacha Océane only thing I noticed was in some of the outdoor shots....it was just a tad too bright (can be fixed with either ISO or aperture adjustments). All the indoor/other shots look A++++ though!

You know your cameras! Yes I was shooting on Sony a7iii with Zeiss 35mm F1.4 it’s starts getting dark around 3pm right now in London so I needed something that is good with low light!! I’m still getting used to it but I love photography and video production so I have a lot to learn! If you have any tips please don’t hesitate to let me know!!

you are an angel

This reminds me of the times that i would sometimes leave my phone turned off all day a year ago and how truly amazing and peaceful it is to just look around instead of looking on your phone all the time. Thank you for reminding me of that

there's actually an app named forest where you can plant trees for a certain time e.g. 15 min or an hour. If you try to leave the app you have ten seconds or otherwise your tree will die...so you have to stay in the app or leave your phone on standby i think it costs one or two franks (im from switzerland) but it's really worth it. And the best thing is, that you can plant real trees if you earned enough money:)

Hi Natacha, could you tell me what brand are those red leggins on the day 5? They’re super cute😍

I'm asking for a video camera to begin my own YouTube channel. And a video you gave me in mind, a week without social media.

I really love the way you work out. You genuine train for strength and fitness and just to feel good rather than jut aesthetic reasons which I feel is the main reason for so many fitness youtubers. I am a rower, weight train to go faster, frequently have men in the gym telling me I doing an exercise wrong although I'm just adapting it to best train rowing specific muscles (like Russian deadlifts instead of conventional), love how you work x

I think it's one thing to say that the ad revenue is going to a charity (which is great!), but even better to have stopped to talk to homeless individuals. I find it really uncomfortable and difficult for myself to stop and make conversation with strangers, so thank you for doing that, and it has challenged me to try and do the same.

Hi Natacha!! I've bought your CUT program!! So excited to start it today!! But the gym in my accommodation doesn't have a leg press machine any subsitutions for the workout?

Wow I loved this! In a weird way, it made ME feel more weightless and more stress-free just watching you go through every day life without your phone. It really makes you step back and think about how simple life can be if we aren't constantly bombarding ourselves with information and distractions just through our phones alone! Very eye opening.

Love this self experiment!

Thank you Kimberley!! ❤️❤️

I did a no internet (except for work) challenge for two days and I accomplished what I usually do in a week or even more. It was such a great experience and i want to repeat it again but for a week

I really enjoyed this video. I’ve always wanted to try and use my phone less and I know I’m subconsciously addicted to it hahah

You are so kind!! I love that you are giving back to your community ❤️❤️❤️

how could people even dislike the video????

Is that lululemon pants you were wearing:) what size are you in those?xxxx

i love your little experiments! soon you'll hit the 300.000 subs - so well deserved girl!

You're so sweet Keep on going girl! ❤️

And I was wondering , where did she go all these days? Is she ok ? Hahah. What an incredible experiment, this must be a trend for 1 to 3 days for all people worldwide. We would have been amazed by the change in people's behavior .

Natacha, the ending of the video is so incredibly sweet. You have such a kind heart. This video is incredible! 💛

Is it possible for you to do a "I quit using the Internet for a week" video? Hahaha that's really really challenging tbh but worth a shot! Btw I love your channel and content :)

This is so inspiring! I'm gonna do a digital detox once I'm done with my uni exams, too! ♥️

i love this! totally inspiring me to spend less time on my phone to help me be more present for life :)

The fact that you are donating all the ad revenue to charity just shows what a kind-hearted person you actually are!

Wow! That's a really good topic. I did the same a few weeks ago and I was soooo much more productive too. :-)

Great video. I stopped using Instagram and Facebook for almost 3 years and the first few months were hard, but got easier.

I need to this too 🙊
