    You saved my life. Thank you kiki. I had a kidney transplant 10 years ago, it started to reject 6 years ago and my kidney had been struggling ever since. My doctor told me I had 3 years before complete failure. I jumped in to wfpb because of you in april and you saved me. I'm no longer in end stage failure. My blood work is almost normal and I've lost over 30 pounds my cholesterol is great my blood pressure is normalizing. I'm off so much medicine. You kept popping up in my feed and you saved my life. Thank you so so much. Hugs to you and your family

    July 2021 was 4 years plant based for me after my mom passed from eating mad cow. She went to England in the 80's and the disease lay dormant until 2016. It took everything from her over a 10 month period and her experience was my final push to go all plant based in 2017. I ate a ton of food (way more than nessesary) and still lost about a pound a month for the first couple of years. I went in with the mindset that I didn't care if I lost weight at first. I just wanted to get used to eating without using animal products. 4 years in a I still need to work on eating less junk but I wouldn't trade this plant based lifestyle for anything! I am 10 pounds down of the Covid weight (I ate potato chips and drank wine on the regular for about a year) and becoming more consistant in my yoga practice and gym workouts so I do see changes happening and a brighter future.

    I've definitely heard your story and method before, but I love that you post these videos every once in a while because it's like a refresher and reinvigorates me. And they always seem to come when I'm losing my energy for cooking from scratch. I've lost 14 pounds so far (my weight is VERY stubborn!) and I have also been healed of the same health problems as you (pre diabetes, high blood pressure, etc), so even if I wasn't losing weight I would still be completely dedicated to this lifestyle. I just ordered your plantiful kids cookbook and will be letting my kids pick out a few recipes a week for us to try as a family. My daughter is beyond thrilled!

    🥰 Thanks for this vid, for continuing to inspire and educate, for sharing your story and showing how to make it doable and stay consistent 💝. If your hubby is ever up to it, hearing a bit from his perspective, either in a written form (blog or q&a on your website) or on video (I know he’s probably cringing at the thought 😬😣!). But it might be very helpful to other guys. Stuff like…How did he deal with cravings or any food addictions and how does he handle it if he still has them from time to time?Did he naturally feel more like exercising as he lost weight or did he have to focus and work on that? (Maybe he doesn’t do any formal workouts but just stays super active on the property.) Does he cook any of the meals now? Does he have to limit or resist anything like too much dried fruit or nuts/avocados? Anyway, just hearing about his experience and journey from his perspective could really help inspire other men…if he’s willing 😁.

My husband needed to lose weight and is doing great. We fell into the trap of a lot of mock meats and processed food too. He lost some weight but plateaued. When we lowered processed sugar and oils his weight loss has gone into overdrive. Have not even done 50/50 plate consistently yet, only sometimes and he is still loosing weight. It is very simple this way. I have been trying to eat more coconut milk, nuts and avo lol. I do 50/50 plate sometimes just cuz I love veggies but I need to bring in more calories.

    I was raised on this way of eating by my parents and my grandparents were one of the plant based pioneers. However having an omnivore husband and busy life with kids I haven’t been able to find a way to get back to less fat - although I’m vegan- due to pleasing family as my kids get older. Need to start cooking this way again! They can always add to the meal while they transition. But the mental planning seems the hardest for me.

    I don't think it's right to demonize processed food. Things like frosted flakes, white rice, and table sugar literally have 0 grams of fat in them. These are some of the best foods for weight loss.

    I am following plant-based and supposed to be losing weight but it seems that I am gaining weight. I am frustrated as my husband says I am not doing it properly..I have your book, so I have to reread it and follow some recipes in it...

    So regardless of a ‘plant based diet’ you started to cut out junk food and eat healthier’. However, he looks I’ll and gaunt, he certainly doesn’t look healthy.

    We switched to plant based going on 2 years now. I enjoy the recipes I’ve tried from you. We still eat some processed foods and would like to minimize that. My husband loves chips and he still can’t let that go. We love our SO Delicious brand plant based ice cream too.

      Try making your own chips from sweet potatoes and your own ice cream from almond milk/almond butter. These are healthier and tastier than even processed vegan junk food 😀

I begin my weight loss (of 40 lbs.) journey Today. What really opened my eyes and mind to change was the documentary that you had mentioned called What The Health on Netflix!!! You and your family are beautiful and I thank you for having a positive platform.

    Hi Kiki, I have been following you for a long while now and I love your encouraging videos and flavorful, easy recipes. I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue, but I would love to see a video on sugar: how to say no to it for the long haul; how long does it take for cravings to subside once you quit and just how to get through it. My biggest struggle is sugar. I follow the diet almost perfectly, but sugar always sets me back. I hear so much about self control and discipline, and keeping things out of the house, but nothing seems to work when a craving hits. I only have about 10 pounds to lose to be at a weight that I am happy with but it just seems impossible with my sugar addiction. Very discouraging. :( I did attend the Better Life Summit, which had some of the tips I mentioned above, but I would love to see a video from you specifically ... hearing about your struggles with sugar (if any) and how to stop the sugar cycle. It currently seems pretty hopeless.

      oh hun, ten pounds? but thats only about 4 kgs? yet youre using words like discouraged & impossible & hopeless? oh that breaks my heart! it may not help to hear, but i reckon 95% of women would LOVE to be where you are! (i know im one!) Good God i hope one day i'll know what it feels like to only need to lose 4 kgs! i've lost over 20kgs so far...as a whole food vegan (on starch solution) i still have at least 30 more to go, but thats ok... i'll get there!
      i just want to say a few things to u please... then u can tell me to rack off ...cos its none of my business really.
      im pretty sure if u only need to lose 10 pounds, then you are in a healthy weight range NOW. Right? If that were me, i wouldnt be wasting my days sad about wanting to be 10pounds lighter than my body will allow. I'd set my scales BACK 10 pounds, tell myself that 10 pounds has now vanished, and i'd go dancing in the street & singing from the rooftops about how great my body FEEEEELS! Cos im HEALTHY and FIT and STRONG and in my CORRECT WEIGHT RANGE and i can wear all different styles of FUN CLOTHES and i can go hiking & biking & paddle boarding and i can run around with the kids at the park without feeling self-conscious & i can finish all my housework without being a sweaty exhausted mess & i can power walk the dogs for over an hour a day like they want, instead of shortcutting it home after 20mins thinking im dying!
      Oops...Hang on a minute..errrm.. sorry Anna...i got a bit carried away there..hehee...i thought for a sec it was Meeeeee in my correct weight range who's SLIM and FIT and HEALTHY! lol. But its not mate. (not yet) It's YOUUUU!
      ive read that women who cant lose the last 10 pounds ....can often make it LOOK like they did! By trying the sports that can actually alter your body by toning it up or streamlining it and just sculpting and defining your muscles ~ like pilates/yoga/weight lifting.
      PS....i think maybe your sugar prob is a separate issue altogether? if u feel its an addiction... maybe u are better off giving it up altogether like some people (myself included) have to do with drugs & alcohol? Look up Chef AJ...& her online support group...she used to have a terrible addiction to sugar and admits she ate vegan candy and vegan chocolate for breakfast every day washed down with a giant cup of frozen coke! So she gave it up altogether (and oil and salt and flour) and she says she now has COMPLETE PEACE in regard to food with NO cravings at all.
      GOOD LUCK FRIEND. All the very best.

    How much of your weight would you say was muscle? I've noticed that my butt is disappearing, and my legs are thinner, but they're soft and flabby. I used to be muscular when I lifted more. I know that you've recently started lifting to put on muscle...but can you honestly say that the weight you lost was all fat? Because that doesn't seem to be the case with me. And since you're lifting, have you changed anything about your diet to increase muscle?

    • @PlantifulKiki
      @PlantifulKiki  2 года назад +2
