I’m a certified holistic nutritionist, certified health coach, and a certified personal trainer. As a chronic illness overcomer, I now use what I’ve learned to empower others to live out their God-given purpose without sickness holding them back. On this channel, I share how to go plant-based, stay on the journey, cook delicious plant-based meals, plant-based nutrition information, and tips I’ve learned along the way-home for the plant-based newbie! Join me here, and let me help you make your plant-based dream come true!
Melissa. Your alter egos are halarious😅!!! And thank you sooo much for making both lifestyles plain. I now have a better understanding of both❣
Yay! Thank you Sasha!! 🙏🏽☺️ Hubby said let the alter egos free! They have been freed indeed lol
@@ChoosingMyHealth good idea hubby❣
As far as I know and if we look only at the diet part, vegan can mean Coke & fries, so not necessarily heathy, while plant-based & whole foods plant-based are vegan diets (no animal products) but highly focused on healthy plant-based foods that are consumed in their less processed version, while keeping all the nutrients in. No person is perfect, some occasionally eat honey or foods that contain small quantities of milk/cheese / eggs (for example a croissant), but I would keep those people still in these categories since they are already doing a lot for a better world.
Although I am many years older than you I have not seen anyone make a video as you did so well explaining the differences. Well done.
Julie, this is such a sweet comment. Thank you so much for sharing-this made my day! Wishing you all the best on your health journey 😊
So well done! I'm WFPB, so I know the difference, but I watched this because I enjoy the spirit with which you communicate information... funny, concise, personal, and factual. Can't beat that! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Cheryl! Blessings on your health journey 😊
Amazing , am all for plant based . Eating close to nature
Thank you Akyiaa! Keep thriving honey!
Awesome breakdown of the different paths. I teeter between being fully whole-foods plant based which is my ideal, and then some months we're def just plant-based vegans lol. But very soon Lord's will, I really want to just be completely always whole-foods plant based so we can truly eliminate all processed stuff like cheese or the occasional mock meat.
Thank you Sasha! That’s awesome. Really, it’s progress over perfection that matters most. I love that God uses where we’re at, no matter the stage, and helps us keep growing!
You are terrific. Vegan whole food plant-based eating is the best and I hope more people see this video. Well done!
Awww. Thank you Dafna 😊. Blessings on your journey!
This was a great explanation! I've transitioned before and relapsed so now since I'm doing a Daniel Fast with my church that I will be able to transition back to a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you honey! It’s happened to me, also! Actually, a fast is what helped me transition for good. God bless your fast, and may it increase your faith and your health ❤️🙏🏽
I have two chronic inflammatory skin conditions and I was wondering way my skin wasn't clearing up. I only incorporate very little veggie meats and refined carbs and sugars are additive, but this week I will let all that go because I'm tired of being in pain this video has cleared up so much for me and has been so helpful. Thank you so much Happy Healing!!
@ireneatam8161 so proud of you!!! You can do this. Cheering you on 🙏🏽❤️
I love your videos😊 they are so well done and incredibly informative. I really appreciate the time and effort you make. Xxx🙏🤗 thank you.
6:05 I've been whole food plant based since 2014 and my body looks better than when I was 18. I'm 50. This is brilliantly explained. Vegans can eat msg, e-numbers, alcohol....
Always well said and perfectly put -- with great humor. :-) Thanks!!
Aww, thank you for your continued support!!!🙏🏽❤️
I just want to eat real food! I am 3 weeks into this vegetarian diet. I guess after watching your video I would say whole food plant base. I eat eggs and some cheese every once in awhile. I was keto for two years but stopped losing weight. I do not like process foods at all. Soy, dairy and gluten are things I avoid. Glad I found your channel. Thanks for keeping it real.
Keep thriving!! And congrats on choosing your health! So glad you found my channel! 💛🌱
Awesome video!!! Great info. Thank you
Thank you for watching, Catherine 😊
you explained it well unlike others. thank you so much!
Aw you’re welcome Donna! ❤️
Love your channel! You are so clear in your explanations. This will really help those just beginning to transition. Best wishes for much success!
Aww…thanks so much Christina! 🙏🏽
I love how relatable your content is. I appreciate how inclusive your channel is of people on different food journeys. Thanks for sharing!
Yes!! Different journeys to the same goal of being healthier.
This is an EXCELLNENT explanation! Thank you for this
Thank you, Emilia! So glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this lovely video, Melissa. it really breaks down the various lifestyle approaches, and the primary rationale behind each. Please keep them coming!
Thank you Gregory! More to come!!
See that's why we love you. You make things simple and plain! Thanks for the clarification. Thanks for all you do!
Aww…thanks, Rose. So glad this was helpful and clear. Blessings to you on your health journey. Love you back 😊
Thanks so much for explaining all 3 lifestyles of not eating meat in such a creative & funny way. I know now it’s time to go whole food plant based, I should get off these beyond meat products. Keep inspiring Queen!
Thank you Lesuel! Keep doing you and growing. Progress over perfection matters most! Wishing you the best!
I agree! The beyond beef and others like it are highly processed and full of sodium. I recently found out a favorite meat substitute that I ate on the regular has eggs and milk in it. And others that were made with GMO products. I was so disappointed but "God is good" He is helping me find healthier alternatives. Thankfully, Mullissa is a great resource❣
Thankyou soo much .!!! This literally been my biggest confusion with being a new vegan
Oh wow! You’re welcome! I hope it brought clarity!
Great breakdown... Love it
Thanks 🙏🏽
❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing
I understand now
That baby pink lipstick looks gorgeous
Great explanation!!
Thanks Jodie!
You are so inspiring. I just found you and trying to change life to whole food plant based
Aww. Thank you Cheryl! Blessings on your journey-you got this and I’m cheering you on! 😊
Great video thanks for breaking this down for us ....
You’re welcome!
Explained this better than the dietician I spoke with. Thank you
You’re welcome Daija. Glad you found it helpful 😊
GM I needed to check this out my problem is I’ve gotten hooked on processed vegan products I lost my aunt and pops in 2021 and as a crutch i started to backtrack I been vegan/ plantbased since 2018 when I originally started I was Dr Sebi all day now I’ve fallen off, I’m trying to get back to who I was but it seems like I can’t shake the processed foods even though I Cook all my meals at home. It’s a marathon so…. But thanks for the video you hilarious also wit the skits. Keep empowering us 👑💪🏿
I’m so sorry to hear about pops and auntie. Life happens and can throw us off track, sometimes when we least expect. But you can hop back on. Use the experience to make you stronger. Remember, progress over perfection matters most. So take the baby steps and trust the process. And thank you for your words 🙏🏽🌱
Great information thanks
Most welcome, Kenneth 😊
LOVE THIS!!!!!
Yay!!
Great breakdown. I been having peeps say it's the same and I knew it was not. I been mostly WFPB for approximately 2 months. Definitely, going to the restroom more & feeling better. I'm doing it due to fibromyalgia and to improve my health in general. Definitely still eat meat but it's like once a week, twice tops, as I'm phasing out of eating meat.
Wanted to see what is your shopping list, and staples within your WFPB life style. Definitely, going to binge watch your recipes and other vids as I'm still learning about this lifestyle as I look to make it permanent. Thanks for the breakdown vid.
Thanks Bruh! 👊🏽 Yea, they’re def not the same. Keep moving forward and trust it’s gonna really bless your overall health (as it has been!). Check out this vid for pantry staples: ruclips.net/video/a1a5tcg1gsI/видео.html

Do it honey!! And thank you for your encouragement 😊💜
@@ChoosingMyHealth Your welcome!!! Is there a special app you use??
No special app for the skits 😊
I’m plant based. But I slip and eat a burger now and then. However I’m getting better.
That’s alright! Happy you’re progressing and doing you, Patrice 😊
Lol. That's me when I order food wherever I go. My friends hate when I have to order, so they try to get their order in fast and smile a lot with our server, so my order does not get confused with theirs! 😂
I promise I get it! I can relate 😂😝
I am from Switzerland and strangely, all my vegan friends here are actually plant based. They are all quite informed both about ethics and about healthy nutrition, and they are all eating healthy, unprocessed food for the animals and for their own health. I have yet to encounter a single unhealthy vegan described here, who is binging on highly processed unheathy vegan food...
Hi Gaia! Switzerland?! Amazing! I’ve often heard that Switzerland is considered one of the healthiest countries in the world! You’re blessed. That makes total sense that you’re surrounded by so many who embrace both ethical and health values.
As I mentioned, not all vegans are unhealthy. In fact, many transition because they want to live healthier lives! As a health coach, however, I’ve seen many people think strategically packaged foods are healthy, because they are marked “vegan”. I was a vegan but still followed a Standard American Diet, just without meat and dairy. Not healthy.
Thank you for adding to the conversation! Wishing you the best of health!
your awesome young lady, great video
Thank you for watching! 😊
Hi Melissa, I went plant based last december 2022 until feb 2023 I stop coz a lot of illness came out of my body. I don't know what's happening. Can you explain it ? ty.
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been struggling Dunna. I would definitely get checked out by a doctor and run some tests to see if there are underlying factors and/or deficiencies ❤️
Also, whole food-plant based excludes meat, dairy and eggs. I'm not sure that was mentioned but it's not like 'plant based' where people apparently will eat meat, dairy or eggs, at least some. I'm whole food-plant based and did it so I wouldn't need a statin which is a drug used to lower cholesterol. My cholesterol was high at 210 mg/dl (over 200) and then it dropped to ideal (125 mg/dl). I live alone and that helped me greatly in the switchover, so I wouldn't have banned foods in the household.
By the way, my weight became normal and stayed normal and this is 5 years from when I switched. Also, my blood pressure is normal now after coming off blood pressure med with doctor supervision.
Avoiding the banned foods is a big part and I am totally satisfied by the healthy foods I chose. It took a bit of time to get the very best foods and I eat them every single day. It took me months to a year to be fully satisfied with the foods. I become far less famished than I did when I was eating the super rich processed foods, meats and dairy. I get hungry but it's not overwhelming. I overeat sometimes but far less than on standard diet.
Joe, I’m so happy for your life change!Keep thriving!!
Hello, I enjoyed this video, I'm starting to switch to a plant Base Diet and I love eggs and I want to understand why this is not considered okay not to have. Well the obvious thing is that eggs are not plants.
Congrats on your new journey Harold! Concerning eggs, here’s a good place to start: nutritionfacts.org/topics/eggs/
Wishing you the best! 😊
@@ChoosingMyHealth thank you for the link 😍
Most welcome, Harold!
Nice explanation of things here. Your diet/lifestyle sure have given you glowing health and enhanced your intelligence. The animals are the #1 issue, or at least should be. Animal growing farms and slaughterhouses?! My God, it's hard to believe people everywhere are still engaging in all that, but the medical industry heartily approve$. I'm a healthy combo of vegan and WFPB, everything in moderation, and my health vastly improved from when I was vegetarian or mostly so or a meat/egg/dairy eater; 75 pounds lighter too, but not skinny. It's probably more doable for most people to be a combo of vegan and WFPB, and to just call it "vegan health nut," haha.
Thank you Laura! All the best on your health journey! ❤️
I’m struggling on this journey but there’s no way I’m going back to eating the way I did before!
Keep going! You CAN do it. Progress over perfection matters most!
Pray for me I am actually getting ready to start my vegan journey while I have already started it to transition into a full plant-based diet
Just did 😊

I am a whole plant base consumer and point out what i like to eat. I don't like being put in the same basket as vegans. I am not that extreme.

Do you eat tofu?
Yes Cassie! It’s an excellent source of protein, rich in flavonoids, and is close to nature- in comparison to highly processed, additive filled soy products that can potentially reap more harm than good.
How about GMO plants? Most or all of those GMO's either has no seeds or can not regrow the seeds, also when animals eat then they are unhealthy for them, business as usual?
Thank you for your time..
😂👍
😆☺️🙏🏽
I'll just say I'm both 😆 I'm a pbv & wfpb
