How to Lose Weight as a Vegan | Heart to Heart ❤️
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 сен 2016
- One of the most common assumptions about the vegan lifestyle is that a strict plant-based diet will lead to easy weight loss. Lots of people become vegan for this reason alone. I get it. When I first became interested in eating "healthy" it was because I was dealing with body image issues, and wanted to 1) lose weight, and 2) not feel guilty after I ate.
But this video is about more than what you should eat to lose weight--though I'll talk about that. It's about the fact that veganism isn't a diet or an quick fix, but an incredibly rewarding lifestyle. Eating a whole food vegan diet will help you achieve your optimal weight, but it will also help you be your healthiest, most vibrant self.
By eating a whole food vegan diet (for me that includes 80% unprocessed wholesome foods, and 20% refined vegan items), I have been able to achieve and effortlessly maintain my natural weight/size while keeping up a very moderate exercise routine, and just staying active by walking, commuting on my bike, and practicing yoga (rarely vigorous) each day. Whatever your journey to an optimal weight, energy, and vibrancy, I believe that you can find it by adopting a vegan lifestyle. Remember, being thin doesn't mean you're healthy or happy; and being overweight does not mean you're unhealthy or unhappy.
Health, happiness, and satisfaction come from your life choices, not from your plate, the scale, or the size on your clothing.
Going vegan is so much more than a diet. It's a way to lower your risk of America's top killers (preventable disease!), eat amazingly delicious food, increase your energy levels, have fun in the kitchen, and MOST IMPORTANTLY save animals and walk more gently on the planet :)

Thank you so much 💖

I agree!!
I spent a lot of my adolescence binging and starving myself. When I switched to a plant-based, predominately whole foods diet, my entire relationship with food changed for the better. I don't ever feel fat, and I don't ever feel guilty for eating. It's pretty amazing.
Sooo I have several symptoms of BED and bulimia and I’m trying not to develop that any further. Problem is, if I’m not starving myself, I’m literally about to off myself. Soooo it’s hard to choose what to do. So imma try veganism while I get help for my depression
@@kiannacat9330 I'm sorry to hear that. I've been there. You are strong and you can get through this. My best advice would be to go slow and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I eased into veganism over the course of about a year while simultaneously working on mental health. Each journey seemed to reinforce the other. You might find that as you incorporate better foods, your mental health will start to improve as well. But no need to change overnight. Lasting change takes time. Baby steps. Good luck and take care.
Yes welcome
This video is a must watch for those who think veganism is a diet you go on to get skinny. Thank you for mentioning that you can be vegan and gain weight...potato chips and Oreos are not health food. Whole foods/plant based is the way to go. Be it over night or in baby steps. Just don't stop stepping. Repetitive actions become habits. Make your actions healthy ones. You will get there!
Thank you! Great inspiring comment :)
Exactly, well said!
...When i hear vegan, oreos and potatos chips are the last thing that comes to my mind.
Massive steaks are more nutritious
I don’t count calories, or weigh my food. Also when you cut out processed foods your cravings go away but patience is the key word. Your body will tell you when you’re on the right track. Yummy.
Thank you
Finally...an honest conversation re: weight loss as a vegan! The journey certainly does become easier.
I absolutely agree!!! 👍🏾
It was honest, but didn't pair well with the title.
When you´re eating "clean" its incredibly easy to lose weight on a vegan diet. I have friends at the gym who starve themselves on a keto diet or a standart bodybuilding weightloss diet where they only eat meat and some rice and here I am losing weight much faster while maintaining energy and muscle mass on 450gram+ of carbs per day
I gained weight in the beginning bc I was eating crappy vegan junk food. Now I'm eating so much healthy and I've noticed the bloating is going down. It's fair too early to notice weight loss, but I will be incorporating exercise soon. Thank you for the real truth! 💚
meganthe ratlover in the beginning of my lifestyle I was a junk food vegan. I'm starting to eat more whole food plant based.
Nice! I love to hear that. It takes a little time to figure out your own flow. And there are so many great vegan junk foods to choose from, they make a girl want to try them allllll!!!
You go girl!
I really like your take on this video. You always look so "put-together" I mean like really centered
You're right, she always looks well put together
You're right, she always looks well put together
Podcast please! I could listen to you speak for hours. You give amazing advice and you're so elaquent with delivering your message ❤️
Thank you!! That's a good idea. Would be fun :)
I love her philosophy. I have lost 100 pounds over the past two years following a whole food plant based diet. When I decided to lose the weight I turned to a vegan diet as a way of setting some food parameters for me. During my journey I learned how to cook delicious meals that fully nourished me and my husband. It took time, effort and a change of thinking. But as I say...change is NOT hard when you are committed to it. Taking the time to eat well is time well spent. This video is full of truth! I just love this woman!
This is the first video I watch and I cannot believe how beautiful you are! Not only physically, but your energy is amazing! Subscribed after the first minute
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Brian Fox instablaster :)
@Rodrigo Leroy thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Rodrigo Leroy It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
@Brian Fox glad I could help :)
*watches this while eating frosted vegan cake*
Mmmmmm!!!!
lol I love it!
I'm eating oreos lol
Sophiaxo wait are oreos vegan?
Aza Rai Yes they are!!
I love what you said about being careful and discerning about who you follow and get your inspiration from. I also super agree that even if you want to lose weight and become healthier it's so important to find a way to feel good about where you presently are in your journey. Also thanks for saying to keep it basic and eat whole foods!!!!! A voice of reason! 💕💕💕
I definitely agree, it's hard for me being vegan and a Trainer. Puts a lot of pressure on me to look a certain way. I love this message
Wow, this video really spoke to me. I went vegan in Jan due to health places, some time between lunch and dinner one day. I've lost 30lbs so far, but as I've gone on this journey, it's become life changing. And less about the weight loss etc and has become about cruelty and the environment. I still have a ways to go (60ish lbs), but it's no longer the thing that controls me. I'll be vegan the rest of my life, regardless of weight loss. Thank you!!
Wonderful, I'm so glad to hear that the video spoke to you. Your comment is so inspiring ❤️
Paras9895 How did/ do you deal with cravings?? Its like ill go vegan for 2 weeks and then cave in ugh its so annoying so i just gave up!
I had lots of vegan junk food at first and didn't feel bad. It wasn't until 3-4 months in that I focused more on the quality of food. I also followed lots of vegan YT'rs for inspiring recipes - sweetpotatosoul, laurentoyota/hotforfood, edgyveg, highcarbhannah. Sweetpotatosoul has a mac and cheese using sweet potatoes that was amazing. Also, her recent vid for sweet potato enchiladas also awesome. Lastly, I really connected what I was eating to harm to the animals. I mean once it clicked, it clicked. I stopped seeing the difference between my rescue dachshund and a cow. That stuff just stopped looking like food. Also, dairy was probably the hardest - I used to be a string cheese and yogurt girl, but as a mom, once I realized how our society treats dairy cows (they're literally raped and then have their calves taken away immediately), I didn't really crave that anymore, it makes me a little sick from a compassionate creature perspective. Also, even 90% vegan is better than not even trying. So if you "slip" up, do better with your next meal. I think viligent veganism turns alot of people away from the lifestyle. My husband is plant based 95% of the time - but occasionally he has meat (about 1x/month). That's not for me, but for him it works. And at the end of the day, hundreds of animals have not been eaten because of his reduced intake. And his cholesterol has still dropped. Hope that helps!
if you keep caving id suggest going vegetarian first and then slowly transitioning. And if you mess up one meal don't worry about it! You can always recover at the next meal :)
Find vegan foods that satisfy the cravings. Ex. if you crave meat, try mushrooms made with soy sauce, miso, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, or other umami flavors. Same with desserts and sweets, find vegan replacements :)
Anyone else starting their journey? I feel like in need vegan weight loss friends who are actually overweight 😂🙈
Me! I want to lose around 80lbs and I'm just starting
just started....need to lose around 60 pounds. But I loooove cookies....even if the are vegan.
Chloe French Right now I'm going pescatarian but would like to move into veganism I'm also just started my membership to planet fitness! Let's motivate each other😄
Chloe French Meee. I've been vegan since January, but I have problems with inhaling cookies when I'm stressed 🙈 I have about 100-120 lbs to lose.
My Instagram is "chlofrench" and my food one is "peachesandpassionfruit" if you wanna be buddies, or if you have a channel let me know and we can subscribe to each other and be friends ☺️
Omg. This is from 2016! This girl is way ahead of so many people. She says it all.. it is simple! Just... not at first. She has had the exact same journey as me and reached the same conclusions. There is a lot of money to be made by “diets” and from “experts”, people looking everywhere when they really need to look and really listen to what’s inside. She is so fluent in explaining this she has obviously taken time to look inside herself, to accept herself, to change her eating for the good of others and herself - I’m still learning to cook and for me the hardest commitment is finding the time.... but that’s ok... I’m not killing my self about it... I’m certain it will come... I’m learning .... I’m learning how the time will come! And... she is just sooooooo beautiful too.... those eyes! That smile!
So many complex things she simplifies .... wish she could find a solution for Brexit! (Not an invitation to discuss Brexit! Just she is sooooooo good at simplifying complex things!).
Great approach! It's true, everyone's body is different. I've had a bunch of people remark on my weight and how they like that I don't represent veganism as a "skinny vegan". But I like how realistic you are about food, weight, self-esteem, and I appreciate you sharing your story of discovering health before finding veganism, and how your body reacted to veganism :)
Thank you so much!! I'm glad we vegans come in lots of sizes, colors, and genders so we can help change people's perception. On may way to watch your videos :)
You are so gorgeous, you are slaying that purple eyeshadow and yellow choker! Also this was so inspiring, I just started a weight loss vlog on my channel- what a perfect way to start my journey with your video!
Thank you so much!! Im so happy you're staring your vegan journey :)
The way you speak and carry yourself makes me feel your positive energy, even just through a computer screen. Thanks for making my day a little brighter. ✨
I get online every night to get re-inspired. I don't know anyone else in my area...in my age group. I do get inspired when I watch your videos and others who are kind, educated, and drama-free like you. Thank you for being one of the sane, vegan channels that I can call a friend!
Awww, Patti. Thank you so much.
Hi, Jenné. I just subscribed to your channel. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and, after listening to so much advice and going through so many diets and so on, I have to say that your experience and shared inspiration on weight loss is the BEST I've ever heard! You understand that from hearing, "Don't eat this. Eat that," that before we can find balance, we have to first recognize that there's always SO much gray area to deal with, which involves encompassing working the whole self. I've heard similar commentary, but yours has more clarity. Thank you so much for this! I know it's already helping me.:)
Today I had a vegan tuna wrap at a vegan restaurant. When I googled a recipe for vegan tuna salad, I stumbled upon your blog. I'm so glad to have found you. Great recipes and you're wonderful.
I know this is an old post, but the message is still important! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I love this video! It's so body positive and full of support! I'm in the process of making the transition from meat to vegetarian and eventually vegan and this is so helpful!
You are the voice of common sense and compassion. I love your channel!
This is some of the most valuable and down-to-earth advice I've ever received. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. It's encouraging to hear you speak about how healthy eating takes time to master. We Americans have so many bad habits to unlearn on the path to better health. I'm starting my journey into veganism this August, and because of your advice and encouragement I feel set up to succeed. Thank you 🧡
Easily the best vegan cooking channel I found so far. I love these easy to prepare breakfast recipes, the music is great, and I always end up in a good mood...and god, you look great!
I agree!!
You're such a chilled person to listen to. You make me feel so zen!
You bring up so many good and important points in a way that so clearly show how intelligent, sweet and good hearted you are. This was an amazing video, you are awesome! :)
Thank you so much for watching :)
Thank you thank you!! so much! It is so refreshing to hear a RUclipsr talk about enjoying food while discussing weight loss! Some great advice for going plant based and some awesome wisdom as we move into indulgence season. ❤❤❤
Thank you!!
I felt sad before watching this video, but you smile so much and you are so nice that now I fell better :) thank you, is not easy to make me feel better.
Your advice around 8:30 is so spot-on. I initially went on a following-spree of thin, fit women who posted daily photos of huge meals & their tiny bodies. It took me months to realize watching those videos was totally destroying my self-image. That's something I love about your videos. You never make anyone feel bad about themselves. Thanks for the true inspiration!
You said so many amazing things on this video that it makes me want to cry of happiness bc ALL THESE STUFF is so necessary to listen to if you’re new to vegan & trying to continue losing weight.
Thank you for this balanced, common sense DOABLE approach.. I teach middle school and see many girls every day who are starving themselves, depriving themselves, disliking their bodies while chasing an impossible version of "perfect" that they see online or in magazines... Loving yourself is step one for nourishing yourself, and the 'Right' way is indeed different for everyone.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ And I want to say that this eyeshadow looks so good on you! This purple color is very pretty
LOVE that you spoke to the issue of equating weight status and health, and how reality is far more complex than that. Thank you for sharing such high quality content, so consistently! 💕
This advice is pure gold! 12 years ago I did get myself into some very disordered thinking about my diet and had set up so many rules for myself. I scared myself with how thin I was getting. After gaining weight back (and then too much weight) surviving a cancer diagnosis and seeing a 50th bday the whole foods vegan diet is the one for me. Keep doing what you do, you are right on!
just found your channel, look forward to every video. They make my day🤗! Love your topics and recipes,your positivity comes shining thru in every way both inside and out ,Please keep the great video's coming!😊
Thank you so so much, Brenda!!

this has to be one of my favorite videos from you :) Thank you for inspiring us!
Thank you so much for such an honest presentation of how important it is to be "healthy" over image. 63 and raising an amazing 6 year boy we have had 4 years now and want to be around for the next 15 years to finish raising this gift God has given us :) Am enjoying your platform and content. God Bless and again thank you! Gma Jo
I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! 😍❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕 This inspires me. Ever since I went vegan I realized I have been overeating and put on some weight, not a-lot, but definitely some weight. However, even though i'm overweight for my height, im perfectly healthy according to my bloodwork and blood pressure. I have been tracking my macros and micros and been working out daily with yoga and jogging. Little by little I will get there. 🙏🏽🌱 It's about strength for me, not so much losing weight.
Just had to sub because you are a beautiful person inside and out and you grabbed me after the first minute and a half. Excellent video. Too many people go vegan for the "wrong" reasons, weight loss being the main "wrong" reason. You give some very good advice and I think it will be very useful to many people! Thank you! ✌🏻🌱💚
Thank you so much!! xo
Just found this channel! I am entranced by this. I am not vegan but am leaning that way for sure! I appreciate that she gives us facts but also gives us those facts WITHOUT feeling like it is being shoved down my throat. Much appreciated!
This is the best video I've seen on just learning about veganism, weight, what to eat, etc. Thank you for being honest and true :)
Wow I just LOVE your channel! Your energy is so light, and you radiate pure positivity. Thank you for sharing with us...amazing and super helpful content 😌
I'm 38 seconds in and I feel like you are so authentic, trust worthy, and beautiful. Thank you for being so candid and real.
Amen to all of this sista! I was the first person in my life who was concerned with nutrition and being healthy, especially having a vegan lifestyle and I really did rely on the community on RUclips (you and Boho Beautiful, Sarah's Day, Brittany Dawn, Rawvana and so many other amazing healthy youtubers!) to learn from and stay motivated by until eventually my family and friends saw such a change in me that they eventually did come along! Sometimes if there is no one in your life to come along with you, you have to be that person for yourself and eventually, hopefully people will come along with you! :)
Thank you 🙂. I’m so glad I checked on your experience. I’ve been so frustrated and don’t know if you will even see my post, but your thoughts really helped me. I’ve gained quite a bit of weight and inches in my tiny boned body. I’m bigger than I’ve been in over 30 years. I see now that I have to cut way back in the beyond meat (which I’ve been eating almost every day); and processed vegan snacks. I was so confused and frustrated planning on cutting all grains, and other things from my diet. Now I’m calmer and have a better way to go about losing the weight. I appreciate you honey 💗🌸
Great video! What I love about this journey (for some reason I'm afraid to call myself vegan just yet) is that even tho it started out being about weight loss, it's become so much more. I do feel happier and nourished and whole like u described!
It is comforting to hear someone who has been doing this for a long time, give me permission to be patient with myself and to know I don't have to have it all figured out overnight :) Thank you!
This is the thing I've ever watched that motivates me to be plant-based. I've read books and articles and follow others. But this is so important!! I have a lot of body image issues...and eating meat exacerbates them. But everyone around me eats meat, and sometimes I just feel it isn't worth it / too hard. It keeps this cycle of feeling bad about my body and putting bad stuff in it. But I want to feel good. I want to stop eating animals that I don't need in my body-and I dont want to feel guilty for simply feeding myself. This was really inspiring!!
I really needed to hear this today. I love that this wonderful message you delivered a year ago was received today. Thanks! 💗💗
It's sad that so many people, like most people, are basically forced to unlearn the healthy eating of early childhood, and then unlearn the unlearning. Especially for women, but definitely also all other genders, this ends up being a decision that has to be consciously made every day, and especially early on that battle can be HARD. But I truly believe, like you said, that the more you learn your body again, and the more you go for whole foods, the more empowered and healthy you will feel until you spend very little time focusing on the flaws of your body and just live most of your life without all that bullshit. For me, the hardest part of eating healthy was breaking my sugar habit; I never thought I could do it, but I knew it was the one remaining obstacle to better health for me and once I got to a point where I was approaching it from a place of loving myself, not hating myself, it was actually pretty easy. Anyway thanks for this video, I'm sure I'm not the only one who hardcore relates to it :)
Beautiful comment. I agree with you so much on the part about unlearning unhealthy habits. It is sad that most of us Americans are starting out on the wrong foot. And yes, self love is the way!!
Such a great comment!
I love you and your family! I have watched you for years and have never been vegan but as of yesterday I’ve started transitioning to a plant based diet! I will eventually be vegan I just need to do my research to completely transition! Thank you for all that you do for all of us! 💖💖💖
I started eating what you so eloquently call "whole food vegan lifestyle". I have tried several things and this is my path right now. You speak to me in such a profound way. So glad I found you online. Cannot wait to try your recipes. Thank you for sharing!
I'm watching your video for the 1st time and I reallyyyyy like your vibes. Very positive and kind. Thank you !
Everyone needs to listen to this video. This gave me so much life... thank you. You're such a beautiful soul.
What you said in this video is practically all that I've been feeling and thinking recently, it helps so much to hear someone else say it as it usually makes me think I might just be right about some things and it's also super comforting. i'm just eating a big satisfying buddha bowl as I'm watching your video and really, couldn't agree more with your words! Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts in this video. I love watching it and you were so inspiring and lovely to watch. 💕
i felt like you were right here in front of me talking to me. i really needed this. thank you!!
I love the fact of what you said about being patient and being dedicated. And yessss always being happy and in a good mood that is so truuuu.
I'm a healthy fat vegan and I'm happy with my body. I think the obsession with weight is so destructive. I felt bigger when I was smaller than I do now. But I also don't ever get sick anymore and cut my medication off. From immunotherapy treatments to just half a small pill for my suicidal depression.
Leticia Lua yes! Thank you! There is this falacy in the vegan community that if you eat healthy vegan foods you can't be chubby. Trust me! I can! Haha. With that said, I am the healthiest eater I know, am active, have great BP, low heart rate, don't get sick, great skin, hair, and nails, etc.
But how does a vegan get chubby?
@@rickytanner3 By eating more calories than you burn 🤔🤔✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻
Sending hugs your way
Sane, safe, smart advice! So positive! Thank you!
I am watching this six years later (so 15 years in) and you still look fantastic. Thank you for all of your content over the years. You have been an inspiration to me.
Wow, thank you!
You are by far my go to person while on this journey. I’m going plant based to become more healthy as well as lose weight. Your videos give me so much encouragement. I can listen to you all day 😘❤️😘❤️😘
Thank you. Very inspirational! This kind of talk is what people need to hear to form a positive image of vegans and veganism.
Thank you for posting this! I just shared with a dear friend the struggle I am having transitioning to veganism while my family is still indulging in the standard American diet. I thought I was eating a very healthy diet, eating 4-6 times a day full of protein but over time animal protein and animal products started taking a negative toll on my body. Unbearable bloating for 10+ hours...so I dropped right into it. As my body is transitioning I find that I am just happier. I wake up smiling even when I sleep less hours. I'm hoping that one day my family will join me but until then, you and other you tubers have been the shoulders I've needed to get through this! Two weeks down and a lifetime to go! :)
"Maybe you can't eat just one brownie, maybe you eat the whole tray"
Thank you so much for this. After 28 years I recently went from vegetarian to vegan. I have a ton of weight to lose, so I appreciate your advice. I always love your advice. It means a lot to me. By the way, beautiful necklace! :)
Thank you!! Wow, that's great you're a recent vegan! Good luck on your journey. I hope it's delicious, and that you achieve your weight loss goals with ease. Thanks, the necklace is from www.lovebeatrice.us/shop/?category=Jewlery
Thank you for this. This was a reminder to keep building healthy habits and these habits don't come overnight. I have B.E.D (Binge Eating Disorder) and I had to stop being a vegan after 5 years because it was too overwhelming. I started cold turkey and idk the pressure and the amount of information of what's the right way of eating, just got to me. I do want to be a plant based goddess again but I want to build the healthy habits that I didn't have the first time around. I would say that I eat 70% vegan because some things you can't unlearn. But I'm teaching myself to be love my body and myself as is and be consistent in these healthy habits such as mindful eating and eating around the same times. When I first became a vegan, I did do it for weight loss and health but now I get the animal aspect and try to be vegan in other parts of my life like clothes and beauty products. I'm not quite there yet but I know I will get there.
MykieintheRaw rooting for you (:
Thank you!! :)
You can do it!
whether its small or big steps keep doing what you are doing! *cheers*
Thank you for watching, and for sharing your story. Mmmhmmm, I know the overwhelm with starting something new, especially cold turkey. Sounds like you're on your right path right now. Stick with your journey :)
I’m currently in recovery from Anorexia and your channel has inspired me to consider a vegan diet to restore a healthy relationship with food. All the talk about not feeling guilty because you’ve developed healthy habits sounds so mentally liberating and I desperately want to be someone who can nourish their body to flourish in life.
I love the way you handled the issue! It's so important to talk about positive body image and that even if we want to lose weight it doesn't mean we have to. Our bodies are smarter than society imposed looks. Take care ❤️ I love your vids!
Absolutely!! Our bodies are so much smarter. Good point! Thank you :)
Your smile is just really beautiful :) I subscribed! ❤️
Thank you so much, for making this informative videos. 😊🌱 I have been postponing eating healthy for so many years, in the past. It feels good to know I am nourishing my body and contributing to the environment.
you have such a calm soul :) love it. great video btw!
Just found you and it's true love ❤️ thank you for being an inspiration to me!
I love you, so many people need to hear this including myself. Thanks girl!
Okay this video is amazing thank you so much for sharing! Also I am obsessed with your eye makeup. What eyeshadow are you wearing? :)
I love being vegan :) I'm 2 months in yes I'm new but I love it so far
Same here! I enjoy cooking much more and eat like a queen every day, no more processed microwaved food for me o/
congrats!!
Yes!! Congratulations :)
Yes!! Eat like the Queen that you are. We all deserve great food :)
Congrats! Stick with it, it gets better 😁
I really appreciate the way you approached this topic ! Very uplifting 🌿
Your beautiful and your skin just glows! Stay sweet and stay safe! Thanks for sharing!🌷
This was a fantastic talk! Thank you so much for this!
You're so nice and inspiring. I love how honest you are. Keep it up!
I just shared this on FB :) LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this video Jenne! I know a lot of women that actually recovered from disordered eating by eating a whole food vegan diet. I'd love to see more videos on the social & family pressures vegans deal with. I know many new vegans say this is the hardest for them. Thank you xoxox
Trixie! Thank you so much for sharing. I like the idea of doing more videos on family pressures... Coming soon :)
I love this vlog 💗 thank you sooooo much! I'm turning off the weight clock and just focus on enjoying the journey 😌 I've been vegan for 6 weeks and this vlog is very inspiring ❤
This is awesome. My problem with weight loss is emotional eating and eating wayyy too much. But it's all a work in progress. :)
Thank you!! Yes, a beautiful work in progress :)
Little by little you'll find yourself eating less. It happened to me. I used to eat BIG portions too. It surely is a work in progress, but it does work. And sincerely there are some things I can't stop forever. I just eat them once a week. You'll get there... you'll see.
Thank you for this, hearing this made me feel so good and so motivated💘
You are sooo inspiring.. I kinda fell in love with you... The way you approach food.. The way you shine.. OMG.... You are sooo amazing. You put a smile on my face and in my heart..
I LOVE YOU 💖
I love how practical and sensible your advice is. Just what I needed to hear. Thank you!
Thank you, Cate!
Hi! I really loved this video because you are so relaxing to watch. I really love how this was a heart to heart with your viewers and all the good vibes you were sending out. Made me feel happy!
Also, you have such a lovely voice too which I could listen to all day. :)
Though, if you don't mind, I could use a few more tips/pointers!
I've been vegan for almost 1.5 years now, but four months ago I found that I had gained almost 30 pounds since going vegan (I was only 100 lbs when I first went vegan and only 15).
I completely panicked and I began to do what I could to lose the weight I had gained. I cut my calories so I would only eat about 1,000 per day, 1,350 being the max. Since then I also am now exercising every single day of the week for about 1.5 hours a day. I have a really terrible mindset towards my body to the point where I basically break down if I see myself in a mirror.
(This is also not the first time I have tried to almost starve myself to lose weight, at one point just before I went vegan I was only consuming 500 calories a day.)
I'm getting really frustrated and discouraged because I'm not seeing any results, according to the scale I have actually gained even more weight! :(
If you could help guide me in the right direction to losing the weight that would be lovely, if not that's completely fine too!
Sorry for being a bother, hope you have a lovely day or night!
I fell in love when she said it's not easy, it takes time.
I have tried a couple of your recipes and ohh My GOD! They are amazing !!! I’m so happy I love your Nutella recipe it’s my favorite since I love eating chocolate a lot! I don’t feel bad eating it and it taste amazing, I eat with crepes, pancakes, or I even add it to my chocolate protein smoothie and I’m in heaven! I was crying of happiness because now I don’t behave to deprive myself from chocolate I can eat it and make it! Thank you 😊❤️
My husband and I watched " What The Health " a week ago Monday and instantly made the change. My husband has diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure and wanting to reduce or go off meds and lose weight. I also want to lose some weight so thanks for the great videos and finding some great things to make. He already needs less insulin so far. We see it working in many ways. Judy

Really enjoyed this. A sound, pragmatic way of seeing this lifestyle, kindly and enthusiastically delivered. Thanks for posting; this will be so useful to all the newbies struggling to find a straightforward non-cultish approach to veganism : )
