I am 55 yrs old and just kept thinking I will never be able to lose 50lbs, but after listening to, (again) I am going to start over again. Wish me luck.
Congratulations on your book, Kiki. I remember finding your channel way, way back when you had 1000 followers. During a video you made a joke about how the video was not sponsored because you didn't have enough followers for that. I actually said out loud "Not yet, but you will!". You are the loveliest, sweetest person and I really am so pleased for your success. I wish you all the best. x
You don’t have to film in the grocery store, just show us your grocery list and the haul when you get home, might even group into each meal you plan on having with which items you picked up. That’s more interesting than seeing the store which may not be anything like the stores we have access to. Also easy substitutions if our stores don’t carry certain items. Thank you so much for sharing ! You definitely keep me motivated.
I was a vegan for 7 years. But you know what, I was a JUNK food vegan. I gained weight and I didn’t feel well at all. So I went to keto. Now I’m really ill. I have a fatty liver, high cholesterol, pre-diabetic, Barrett’s esophagus, sleep apnea and I’m on oxygen because I got Covid in October. The tests are saying I have Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. So that is a progressive horrible disease. So as of today I’m back 🎉 I just bought your book and I will keep you updated. I’m 5’2”, weigh 217. I’m 56 years old. I will recommit to being a vegan again and stick with it until I go home to be with the Lord. Thank you for what you do.
I was a junk food vegan for years then went keto as well.. became pre-diabetic too! I had a baby 5 months ago and am now at my heaviest (non-pregnant) weight ever. Now I’m back to this lifestyle, healthy this time. 💪🏼 We can do this! ❤
I started doing this exact thing and am losing weight effortlessly....and I EAT! It’s the BEST ever advice, it works, it’s easy and did I mention it works?! Vegan almost 8 yrs and am finally doing it right because of you and your platform. I would love to see a full prep day Sunday as others have already mentioned as well. Congratulations on the book and the coming one too! But mostly, thank you for helping me get healthy and literally changing my life for the better. I’m still a bit of a work in progress but I’m almost a masterpiece! 😊🎉 Cheers!❤
I’ve been following you for a while now and this video is so convincing! I’ve tried the 50/50 plate before but I have such bad habits. You’re right - hearing these things repeatedly really helps! Thank you so much!
So I'm now officially hooked! Bought your book and tried the thousand island dressing its spot on! So good. I am going to be trying to be better at the 50/50 plate and no sugar. But sugar is my kryptonite. I'm also watching my overt fats. This year, I will succeed in getting healthy and losing this weight.
I just bought your book Kiki. I'm on my journey of losing at least 15 lbs. I quit cold turkey smoking cigarettes 2years ago . I overall am working on health & wellness for my body. You an your family are beautiful people😊
It helps me to hear these tips over again. I have lost 14 lbs total...over several tries and have kept it off. I am starting again but better and will implement your tips. I know it works, just have to keep doing it. (I am almost 72 years old) Thanks Kiki.
I love these pep talks! It doesn't get old at all, I think I'll play this video every morning for a couple of weeks while I brush my teeth and get my juice ready. It encourages me and keeps everything at the front of my mind! Thanks kiki 😊
In honor of seeing this video I had a great big kale and mandarin orange salad (from your simply wholesome cookbook) before my oatmeal for breakfast! Back on track starting now!
as a newbie, I find your information helpful. My husband isn't going to be following plant-based with me but that is ok, I need to do this for me. I have a lot of weight to lose and will be under a doctors care. I am so hopeful that this is what will get me to where I want to be.
It's okay if you're spouse doesn't follow your path, it will be helpful to have the discussion if you haven't that they also need to be sure not to sabotage your efforts. They may not even mean to but even jokes and jabs add up when you're trying something new
I gained 12 lbs from eating breakfast again after years of Intermittent Fasting. Started IF again this week, in hopes that, including high carb low fat will get me where I've struggled so hard to reach for so many years.
Loved this video! Thank you Kiki.❤ I’ve been vegan for 5 years, but after the initial weight loss, I slipped into bad habits, becoming a junk food vegan. In January, my daughter and I decided to stop eating fast food and eating out, except for birthdays or special occasions, in an effort to become healthier and to stop wasting $ on unhealthy foods. My daughter lost 15 lbs without even trying, now weighing 115 lbs. I didn’t have as much weight loss, but I have lost fat, happily. I have only lost about 8 lbs in the past 6 months, eating real, plant based foods, eliminating fast foods. I’m disabled, so unfortunately, my physical activity is limited and I struggle losing weight. I really liked your tips to aid in weight loss - spray (or broth) instead of oil, increase fruit and veggies, and 50/50 plate where 1/2 is non-starchy veggies, and the other half with starchy vegetables. Super interesting! I definitely do not eat enough non-starchy veggies. Thank you for this Pro tip. You ROCK!❤
Thank you so much. I was doing so good on my vegan diet, I lost weigh, but on my last trip to Mexico I started eating the way I used to. I have been following you for so long and have seeing all of your RUclips videos. I love them all and the way how you explain how to eat simple , it’s awesome. I am not happy with my weight right now so I am going back to my vegan diet. Thank you again for making it so ease for us. This girl love you and love seeing your family and everything that you share with us.
Ty for sharing this! I am currently transitioning from over a year on the keto diet to wfpb. I lost some weight on keto, but then stalled for months. I still have 20 lbs to lose, and I'm post menopausal. And I missed veggies, potatoes and fruit so much!! But I really need simple ideas or I get overwhelmed. I'm new to your channel and love it. You're very beautiful too! Ty! 🙂
Thank you Kiki... I just ordered your book. Congratulations!!... I've been watching your videos for years. I noticed that rewatching your videos helps me stay motivated and get back on track when I fall off my journey. So definitely repeating and hearing the same notes helps!.... thank you for your content and hope to one day share my before and after
It’s great to see other people who are getting healthy and motivating others too. I’ve lost weight twice after having kids and now I’m on the journey again after my 3rd baby. This time around I made my own healthy lifestyle journals/planners. I’m using them and sell them too. If those can help at least 1 person to change their life then I’ll be happier.
My diet didn’t actually include carb and starchy of rice, pastas, potatoes; I too steamed/boiled my veggies eating plain without oil nor sauces but sadly I gain weight year by year; this few months I started to add olive oils onto my veggies and to my surprise, I had been dropping about 6 to 7 lbs every monthly. I suppose the key is balancing everything we eat and not too extreme on any. Thanks for the sharing 💕💕💕
Ugh this sounds just like me too, prediabetic for over a decade, female hormonal issues, did what I thought was healthy keto... switched to a plant based diet 2 months ago and lost 10lbs with zero effort. Since then my weightloss has stalled. I bought the Starch Solution book and tomorrow I am ordering YOUR cookbook Plantifully Lean. Im so excited! Now I will probably be binging all your youtube videos now 😂.
Thank you so much for your videos, I'm crying because I was diagnosed with obesity, high blood pressure, pre diabetes. My family also suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes, and some had died from it. I just bought your book off Amazon. Can't wait to get it!! I have watched all of your videos!! Thank you so much, Love your videos!!! ❤❤❤
I was recently in Gibson’s, an independent bookstore in Concord, NH. I was so happy to see your new book on prominent display there! It is sooo beautiful!!! I normally like digital books, but I am making an exception for this one! Thank you for all you do! This video is exactly what I need right now! I lost 25 pounds, but 5 have crept back on. I will start plate building and prepping today! You are a special person, Kiki! ❤❤❤
Just what I needed right now.. Struggling, because my husband doesn't eat this way, and there's butter and olive oil in the house. Have been on the fence about which cookbook to purchase, and yours keeps coming back to the top!!! Thank you kiki!! ❤🙏
Looking forward to receiving your book here in Australia shortly. Congrats on the best selling position as top vegan cookbook - it's well deserved Kiki. I was a little worried a couple of days ago to see you were crying. As soon as I realised it was happy crying, I teared up myself 🤭 I enjoy airfrying some frozen broccoli for breakfast to get in the veggies from the start of the day. It all gets easier as you go along imo 🙏🏻🥰
I too am a Latina, have tried every diet and am was just diagnosed pre-diabetic. Now is my time to take control of my health. Thank you for this video and tips.
I bought your book about 6 months ago. I have to say I've used more recipes in your book than any other recipe book I have EVER bought in all of my MANY years of cooking and trying to lose weight. I have lost weight many times, and gain it back again many times. I lost some weight again and I am at a stand still at the moment. Thanksgiving threw a major wrench in my eating... But this was a very inspiring talk. I have 15 more pounds to go and maybe a bit more. I will say I CAN NOT live without your ranch dressing, or your weight loss friendly granola!!! Your cheese sauce is also really good. You are SO right about the dressings and sauces. I don't use them all the time but they are a game changer. Also, another life changing thing was using the no chicken broth by Edward and Sons. I never liked bought or home made vegetable broth. Thank you! My biggest goal is not the speed of my weight loss but finding a way of eating I can maintain forever.
I’m SO inspired by you,Kiki! And the Self~Love is foremost. Then the Prep time on weekends. When I released 90 pounds in 9 months, I went to the Farmers Market on Saturdays,washed and prepped my vegetables,then on Sundays I would cook up my protein and starches for the week! It really works and I effortlessly became a vegan just from consuming so many fresh fruits and vegetables every day first thing.🤗🙌
I have struggled with different diets for years veggie, vegan meat etc. I am just adding a new perspective. When I went traditional diet, grass fed meat, raw milk , in season local (no Taco Bell or dominos ) I have dropped my weight. I still like to hear about other's journeys, Good luck
I just ordered your book!! I can't wait to get it!! I'm so happy to have found you! You are helping me change my life at a young 54 yo!! I adore you and what I'm RElearning through you!! Thank you for being you!! You're the sweetest! And your adorable husband and precious children too ❤
I got my copy of your new book today and I AM OBSESSED WITH IT. Thanks so much for this. I didn’t have the previous version. I love love love the full color but the selling point for me is the fact that I can easily find all of the ingredients if I don’t already have them on hand. I am going to try eating exclusively from this cookbook and see how weight loss goes. I’m so excited! Already made the chocolate lava cake (so freaking good!) tonight after my dinner of veggies and Israeli couscous. ❤❤ I love you!
This is so encouraging and helpful, Kiki! I've lost 62 pounds so far, and I've hit a little bit of a plateau. But all this great info gives me a boost of motivation and encouragement to stay on track and keep moving forward with my weight loss goals and plant-based journey. Thank you SO much for this video! 🙂
Just bought your book for myself for my birthday. I’ve been vegan for over 8 years but I’m still 20lbs overweight. I know it’s because I don’t watch my fat or bread intake and I don’t eat enough veggies. I have been exercising 6 days a week and haven’t lost a single pound! Time to get stricter with my diet! I’ve been watching your videos on and off for years but never stuck to your diet. Thanks for your hard work on this book, I can’t wait to get it!
oh my gosh im excited to see this Im prediabetic, and overweight same thing you dealt with. I was 200 lbs last yr and now under 180 going for 140! Im excited and feel that ive been guided to find you and the Esselstyns! im having a hard time not eating almond butter kinda disappointed i cant have it,but i know i need to get healthy
Been doing starch solution for a few weeks and I AM SO HAPPY!!!! Im losing weight while being full!!! Also, got your book yesterday and it is brilliant!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this great way for health!
Hi. I’m so excited. I just ordered your book, and I can’t wait to start this journey. My daughter introduced me to your channel, and your book was on her wish list, so I bought it for her this past Mothers Day. She loves it and swears by it. Now I’ll have my own. 😊
Sweet Kiki! I preordered your book and when it finally came, my plant based daughter stole it! LOL!!!! Just ordered myself another one. You are such a lovely soul! Thank you for your help!
Love all this! Just found you last night! This 50/50 plate feels real good to me. I was plant based & gluten free for 7 years. I always wonder if that’s what I need to do again. We’re raising beautiful chicken, eggs, and other animals right now. Thinking if we raise them we will be far more healthy. The wisdom I gained from being plant based before does reflect in my lifestyle now… But I know I can do better and found this video super inspiring. Maybe a third of the carb side of my plate could be animal protein? So half plate veg, 2/3 of the other half carbs and 1/3 of that animal protein?! Cutting the unnecessary oils! Wowza! For years I heard you needed healthy fats like avocado oil, butter, coconut oil, olive…. Yada yada, but it’s clearly not working for me. I’m gonna keep watching your vids and see how I can sneak in a small amount of what we are raising here on our little farm, with more veggies. I just wish this little town had better quality veg…. Kinda think the lack of good product here is partly why my diet changed so much. Anyways, thank you for the inspiration!
I must say…. It’s a great book Kiki. I’m in my 2nd day of starting this journey. I’m so tired of eating such little food. I’m literally never full. And idk I’m totally loving having pancakes!!! Whoohoo!!
lbI have been doing Low carb/keto and I keep gaining weight. Vegan food is what I would normally eat before and I was always 119 lbs now I'm 215. I'm going to give this a try, you're inspiring.
Im so glad i found you. When you explained you tried all the diets u did grass fed beef butter and eggs and waa eating healthy and nothing happened i said omg is this me talking...cuz i waa doing the same. Im definitely purchasing your book because im tired of this weight on me. I have the physical side together because i love going to the gym but we all know that we have to have our nutrition together in order for us to loose the weight. thanks girl im so happy about this
I’m so glad that you’re settled in Colorado and back to making these helpful videos. Believe it or not, every time you talk about what you do now and how your journey began I always pick up on just one more little tidbit that helps me on my journey. You’re very relatable and you’re also very easy to listen to. The more you talk the more people learn, truly! Please keep it up. I don’t watch regular tv shows, I only watch RUclips to learn. I love learning and I love influencers like you that can offer genuine life experiences that are worth learning about. You, Hannah, Emmie and Alexandra are my good friends that help to keep me and family healthy. Please continue doing what you do best. I also enjoy seeing how you eat on vacation and your homestead videos because we have acreage property too and used to live in Colorado. I recognize most of the places in Colorado that you ski or play at, it’s so nice to see them again. BTW…I’m on vacation right now and your new book is waiting for me at home. I can’t wait to see it because now that my teenage daughter is cooking so much she has seriously worn out some of the pages on my old Plantifully Lean Cookbook.
Thank you KiKi. Fabulous as always! You’re so real and I SO love your beautiful, caring family oriented style. So wholesome and rich with goodness! 🌸💖💐
You are amazing Kiki! You have no idea how much you have inspired me. I have been slowly trying to start this journey. I can't wait you are so helpful and beautiful !!!
I have followed you for a while from the UK :), you helped changed my mind set on food and self love. I hope to get to a better place with my body. So thank you 💝
I made those baked egg roll looking things, and yummmmm. I was surprised at how good they were. I want that book and that journal I saw on Amazon too. Thanks for all you do! I really think both our governments should give every household a copy of your book. It would save the Canadian and American governments billions of dollars in health care. Have a great week and keep on keeping on ❤
Congratulations! Thank you for this! Look forward to seeing more of you and as someone posted no need to film inside the stores just a grocery haul or if you are comfortable with a pantry/fridge tour. Whatever you are comfortable with and whichever format you want to show, whether pulling it and placing on a counter or just inserting a photo and the list of the items is fine. These are just suggestions no demands. Take care!
I love your channel. I know one reason you lost weight was for better health and that makes sense. I didn’t write this after thinking it each time I saw your pics over the year, but I think you look beautiful with more weight as well as with less weight. I think it’s because you just have the best vibe.
Hi Kiki! I just came back to say again that I’m obsessed with your new cookbook! I’ve already made 14 of the recipes and loved them all. Who thought chili cheese fries could be healthy!? Mmmm. The cheese sauce is life changing. I love you and your content. Starch solution is a wonderful lifestyle and I’m so happy to have found your channel and this way of eating. I was an unhealthy junk food vegan before this. ❤
This was so informative! Thanks Kiki!! On an exciting note, your book is set to be delivered today…I’m soooo excited because truly your recipes are delicious ❤ PS On Monday, my 28 yr old daughter just started on this low fat high carb wfpb journey and has been inspired by watching your videos. Thank you again for all you are doing.
I got my cookbook in the mail today! I've been following you from the beginning and I know all the wfpb rules on losing weight but I still can't seem to lose. I'm going to try your 4 week meal plan to see if that helps. It will take a miracle for sure! Congrats on your recent success!
Inspiring and motivating! How about what is in the freezer/refrigerator/pantry instead of grocery store? Xoxo congratulations on your success! You deserve all of the best! Waiting for my pre purchased book! Can’t wait.
I'm going to try this. I need to lose at least 70lbs. I've been doing low carb and it's not working and my labs were bad. I'm excited to get a new way❤
Thanks Kiki I needed that. I've hit the plateau 14kgs (30lbs) I still have along way to go to achieve my healthy weight range. It's so good to be reminded and to focus on those simple tips. Congratulations on your book🎉
I get so excited when I see you post a new video! Makes my day. You are amazing and we adore you!!! Keep up the awesome work. Really needed these small reminders. Been at a plateau for 3 months now 😭
Hey Kiki!!!! I got my book in the mail on Tuesday, and I love it!!! I cannot wait to kickstart my health and wellness journey with your recipes. Thank you so much for the motivation in your videos and this book. Have a blessed week and I look forward to the next video sis!
I don’t know how this happened. I tumbled off the wagon. I was losing weight and feeling great. Then depression and stress and busyness hit and I’m right back where I started. Thank you for talking like a broken record and re doing these videos.
I never thought I'd have a bunch of veggies and raw nuts for breakfast but here I am. A year ago I had a protein shake for breakfast, from a powder. I feel so much better!
I just received your book today!! I was skimming through it and thought the layout was perfect. It was well written, organized and simple. Pictures are important and they are beautiful in this book! I’m so excited to start the recipes tomorrow.. even though I already started from your videos. But this will be easier. Hoping you will continue with these videos also because they are all inspiring!!
I’d like to see a video about what a maintenance regime looks like and also about what a sensible weight range would look like,when we’re finished losing weight
After I started integrating meat back into my diet, I unintentionally stopped eating whole plant based foods. Even though I'm on the fence about continuing to eat meat, I ordered your book to inspire myself to eat cleaner. I've followed you for years and admire your work ethic and consistency ❤
Hi, I love you and your family. I've followed you for a long time. I have your first book, and I joined Eat More, Weigh Less. I enjoy your videos here and on IG. I said all that to say, I truly support you. So, continue what you're doing and ignore the negative criticism.❤🥰❤❤
I’ve watched so many of your videos explaining this and I will always watch you explain this information bc I need to drill it in and rewrite my understanding. I have stopped cooking in oil and looking forward to fat loss 🤞💚
+1 to just showing us what you bring home from the grocery store! I've watched all your other videos like this one multiple times and I can never get enough of this story and the repetition of those tips. I FINALLY got it through my head to take a look beyond the oil at the other fats I'm eating. Did you know that a quarter of an avocado can be really satisfying? 😂 Also, major props to your sweet, supportive husband. I'm grateful to have never have anyone bag on me eating plant based but I've seen so many people whose partners not only don't support them trying to get healthy but some even actively try to sabotage it. He is definitely a gem.
Just got the book delivered yesterday from Amazon! It is SO good! I can’t wait to try some of these meals! Every single one the soups look amazing! 👏Thanks for all the videos along the way with my journey. I have lost 37 pounds and you help keep me motivated and going!

I agree, I like to see what other stores look like! Lol
Thank you for sharing Dawn, maybe you should try filming your own videos while trying to keep everyone interested.
@@Anniefawesome me too!! Some grocery stores are so much nicer than mine lol.
Kiki, can I get an email address for you? How does one find that? Thank you
Kiki, I just started using your book this week and already in 1 week I’ve lost 6 lbs! It was so easy and I’m happy to continue. Thank you so much! ❤

I suppose the key is balancing everything we eat and not too extreme on any. Thanks for the sharing 💕💕💕
Ugh this sounds just like me too, prediabetic for over a decade, female hormonal issues, did what I thought was healthy keto... switched to a plant based diet 2 months ago and lost 10lbs with zero effort. Since then my weightloss has stalled. I bought the Starch Solution book and tomorrow I am ordering YOUR cookbook Plantifully Lean. Im so excited! Now I will probably be binging all your youtube videos now 😂.
Thank you so much for your videos, I'm crying because I was diagnosed with obesity, high blood pressure, pre diabetes. My family also suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes, and some had died from it. I just bought your book off Amazon. Can't wait to get it!! I have watched all of your videos!! Thank you so much, Love your videos!!! ❤❤❤
Kiki & the 30 year doctors are right! I lost 22 lbs, THANK YOU!!!
Congratulations!!! In how long?
I was recently in Gibson’s, an independent bookstore in Concord, NH. I was so happy to see your new book on prominent display there! It is sooo beautiful!!! I normally like digital books, but I am making an exception for this one! Thank you for all you do! This video is exactly what I need right now! I lost 25 pounds, but 5 have crept back on. I will start plate building and prepping today! You are a special person, Kiki! ❤❤❤
I ordered your cookbook today and I’m real excited to receive it! I have followed you for a couple years and I really enjoy your channel and content 😊
Just what I needed right now..
Struggling, because my husband doesn't eat this way, and there's butter and olive oil in the house.
Have been on the fence about which cookbook to purchase, and yours keeps coming back to the top!!!
Thank you kiki!! ❤🙏
You are so welcome!
Looking forward to receiving your book here in Australia shortly. Congrats on the best selling position as top vegan cookbook - it's well deserved Kiki. I was a little worried a couple of days ago to see you were crying. As soon as I realised it was happy crying, I teared up myself 🤭
I enjoy airfrying some frozen broccoli for breakfast to get in the veggies from the start of the day. It all gets easier as you go along imo 🙏🏻🥰
This is so awesome that you have a supportive family! It makes a world of difference.
you are fabulous. such a caring person.,so giving so lovely, as Chef AJ says you are a big deal.
I too am a Latina, have tried every diet and am was just diagnosed pre-diabetic. Now is my time to take control of my health. Thank you for this video and tips.
I received it 2 days ago!!! It's awesome!! I love it!! It's the first cookbook I've bought. I can't wait to make the cheese sauce! Thank u so much!!
I bought your book about 6 months ago. I have to say I've used more recipes in your book than any other recipe book I have EVER bought in all of my MANY years of cooking and trying to lose weight. I have lost weight many times, and gain it back again many times. I lost some weight again and I am at a stand still at the moment. Thanksgiving threw a major wrench in my eating... But this was a very inspiring talk. I have 15 more pounds to go and maybe a bit more. I will say I CAN NOT live without your ranch dressing, or your weight loss friendly granola!!! Your cheese sauce is also really good. You are SO right about the dressings and sauces. I don't use them all the time but they are a game changer. Also, another life changing thing was using the no chicken broth by Edward and Sons. I never liked bought or home made vegetable broth. Thank you! My biggest goal is not the speed of my weight loss but finding a way of eating I can maintain forever.
I just received your cookbook and wanted you to know it’s beautiful and I absolutely love it. Perfectly made.
I’m SO inspired by you,Kiki! And the Self~Love is foremost. Then the Prep time on weekends.
When I released 90 pounds in 9 months, I went to the Farmers Market on Saturdays,washed and prepped my vegetables,then on Sundays I would cook up my protein and starches for the week! It really works and I effortlessly became a vegan just from consuming so many fresh fruits and vegetables every day first thing.🤗🙌
I have struggled with different diets for years veggie, vegan meat etc. I am just adding a new perspective. When I went traditional diet, grass fed meat, raw milk , in season local (no Taco Bell or dominos ) I have dropped my weight. I still like to hear about other's journeys, Good luck
I just ordered your book!! I can't wait to get it!! I'm so happy to have found you! You are helping me change my life at a young 54 yo!! I adore you and what I'm RElearning through you!! Thank you for being you!! You're the sweetest! And your adorable husband and precious children too ❤
I got my copy of your new book today and I AM OBSESSED WITH IT. Thanks so much for this. I didn’t have the previous version. I love love love the full color but the selling point for me is the fact that I can easily find all of the ingredients if I don’t already have them on hand. I am going to try eating exclusively from this cookbook and see how weight loss goes. I’m so excited! Already made the chocolate lava cake (so freaking good!) tonight after my dinner of veggies and Israeli couscous. ❤❤ I love you!
This is so encouraging and helpful, Kiki! I've lost 62 pounds so far, and I've hit a little bit of a plateau. But all this great info gives me a boost of motivation and encouragement to stay on track and keep moving forward with my weight loss goals and plant-based journey. Thank you SO much for this video! 🙂
Just bought your book for myself for my birthday. I’ve been vegan for over 8 years but I’m still 20lbs overweight. I know it’s because I don’t watch my fat or bread intake and I don’t eat enough veggies. I have been exercising 6 days a week and haven’t lost a single pound! Time to get stricter with my diet! I’ve been watching your videos on and off for years but never stuck to your diet. Thanks for your hard work on this book, I can’t wait to get it!
One of my favorite videos, Kiki. You are SO good at being clear when you explain all this to us. Love you!
oh my gosh im excited to see this Im prediabetic, and overweight same thing you dealt with. I was 200 lbs last yr and now under 180 going for 140! Im excited and feel that ive been guided to find you and the Esselstyns! im having a hard time not eating almond butter kinda disappointed i cant have it,but i know i need to get healthy
Been doing starch solution for a few weeks and I AM SO HAPPY!!!! Im losing weight while being full!!! Also, got your book yesterday and it is brilliant!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this great way for health!
Film anywhere you want, Kiki! We’re here for it all! Congrats on the book & thank you for sharing, as always!
Hi. I’m so excited. I just ordered your book, and I can’t wait to start this journey. My daughter introduced me to your channel, and your book was on her wish list, so I bought it for her this past Mothers Day. She loves it and swears by it. Now I’ll have my own. 😊
Sweet Kiki! I preordered your book and when it finally came, my plant based daughter stole it! LOL!!!! Just ordered myself another one. You are such a lovely soul! Thank you for your help!
Love all this! Just found you last night! This 50/50 plate feels real good to me. I was plant based & gluten free for 7 years. I always wonder if that’s what I need to do again. We’re raising beautiful chicken, eggs, and other animals right now. Thinking if we raise them we will be far more healthy. The wisdom I gained from being plant based before does reflect in my lifestyle now… But I know I can do better and found this video super inspiring. Maybe a third of the carb side of my plate could be animal protein? So half plate veg, 2/3 of the other half carbs and 1/3 of that animal protein?! Cutting the unnecessary oils! Wowza! For years I heard you needed healthy fats like avocado oil, butter, coconut oil, olive…. Yada yada, but it’s clearly not working for me. I’m gonna keep watching your vids and see how I can sneak in a small amount of what we are raising here on our little farm, with more veggies. I just wish this little town had better quality veg…. Kinda think the lack of good product here is partly why my diet changed so much. Anyways, thank you for the inspiration!
I must say…. It’s a great book Kiki. I’m in my 2nd day of starting this journey. I’m so tired of eating such little food. I’m literally never full. And idk I’m totally loving having pancakes!!! Whoohoo!!
lbI have been doing Low carb/keto and I keep gaining weight. Vegan food is what I would normally eat before and I was always 119 lbs now I'm 215. I'm going to give this a try, you're inspiring.
Im so glad i found you. When you explained you tried all the diets u did grass fed beef butter and eggs and waa eating healthy and nothing happened i said omg is this me talking...cuz i waa doing the same. Im definitely purchasing your book because im tired of this weight on me. I have the physical side together because i love going to the gym but we all know that we have to have our nutrition together in order for us to loose the weight. thanks girl im so happy about this
I’m so glad that you’re settled in Colorado and back to making these helpful videos. Believe it or not, every time you talk about what you do now and how your journey began I always pick up on just one more little tidbit that helps me on my journey. You’re very relatable and you’re also very easy to listen to. The more you talk the more people learn, truly! Please keep it up. I don’t watch regular tv shows, I only watch RUclips to learn. I love learning and I love influencers like you that can offer genuine life experiences that are worth learning about. You, Hannah, Emmie and Alexandra are my good friends that help to keep me and family healthy. Please continue doing what you do best. I also enjoy seeing how you eat on vacation and your homestead videos because we have acreage property too and used to live in Colorado. I recognize most of the places in Colorado that you ski or play at, it’s so nice to see them again. BTW…I’m on vacation right now and your new book is waiting for me at home. I can’t wait to see it because now that my teenage daughter is cooking so much she has seriously worn out some of the pages on my old Plantifully Lean Cookbook.
What a breath of fresh air you are. Stay just like you are.
Just bought your book! Can't wait to get it and be inspired to get healthier! 💞
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 How awesome!!!!! Congratulations!!!#1!!
Thank you KiKi. Fabulous as always! You’re so real and I SO love your beautiful, caring family oriented style. So wholesome and rich with goodness! 🌸💖💐
You are amazing Kiki! You have no idea how much you have inspired me. I have been slowly trying to start this journey. I can't wait you are so helpful and beautiful !!!
I have followed you for a while from the UK :), you helped changed my mind set on food and self love.
I hope to get to a better place with my body. So thank you 💝
I made those baked egg roll looking things, and yummmmm. I was surprised at how good they were. I want that book and that journal I saw on Amazon too. Thanks for all you do! I really think both our governments should give every household a copy of your book. It would save the Canadian and American governments billions of dollars in health care. Have a great week and keep on keeping on ❤
Kiki! Thank you for another phenomenal video! Can never get enough of your content! You are an amazing person! 💚
Congratulations! Thank you for this! Look forward to seeing more of you and as someone posted no need to film inside the stores just a grocery haul or if you are comfortable with a pantry/fridge tour. Whatever you are comfortable with and whichever format you want to show, whether pulling it and placing on a counter or just inserting a photo and the list of the items is fine. These are just suggestions no demands. Take care!
I love your channel. I know one reason you lost weight was for better health and that makes sense. I didn’t write this after thinking it each time I saw your pics over the year, but I think you look beautiful with more weight as well as with less weight. I think it’s because you just have the best vibe.
Hi Kiki! I just came back to say again that I’m obsessed with your new cookbook! I’ve already made 14 of the recipes and loved them all. Who thought chili cheese fries could be healthy!? Mmmm. The cheese sauce is life changing. I love you and your content. Starch solution is a wonderful lifestyle and I’m so happy to have found your channel and this way of eating. I was an unhealthy junk food vegan before this. ❤
I just got your book and I’m excited to start trying the recipes and tips. I loved the section on mindset ❤
Good pep talk Kiki, I have been struggling this is what I needed to hear to get back on track. Thank you so much.
This was so informative! Thanks Kiki!! On an exciting note, your book is set to be delivered today…I’m soooo excited because truly your recipes are delicious ❤ PS On Monday, my 28 yr old daughter just started on this low fat high carb wfpb journey and has been inspired by watching your videos. Thank you again for all you are doing.
I got my cookbook in the mail today! I've been following you from the beginning and I know all the wfpb rules on losing weight but I still can't seem to lose. I'm going to try your 4 week meal plan to see if that helps. It will take a miracle for sure! Congrats on your recent success!
Just got ur book from Amazon. I preordered. So ready to start this new chapter. We were reading the recipes n my husband said you’re a GENIUS!!!
I just saw you in my Forks Over Knives e-mail ! You’re golden woman!🎉
Inspiring and motivating! How about what is in the freezer/refrigerator/pantry instead of grocery store? Xoxo congratulations on your success! You deserve all of the best! Waiting for my pre purchased book! Can’t wait.
You are SO loving,sweet,and kind! God bless you and thank you for inspiring me to great health!
I'm going to try this. I need to lose at least 70lbs. I've been doing low carb and it's not working and my labs were bad. I'm excited to get a new way❤
Congratulations! I'm getting mine today and can't wait.
Thanks Kiki I needed that. I've hit the plateau 14kgs (30lbs) I still have along way to go to achieve my healthy weight range. It's so good to be reminded and to focus on those simple tips.
Congratulations on your book🎉
I'm just getting started, educating myself and will kick off on 2/19/2024
i want to highly recommend Dr OBALAR for curing me of genital warts with his natural herbs.
I get so excited when I see you post a new video! Makes my day. You are amazing and we adore you!!! Keep up the awesome work. Really needed these small reminders. Been at a plateau for 3 months now 😭
Hey Kiki!!!! I got my book in the mail on Tuesday, and I love it!!! I cannot wait to kickstart my health and wellness journey with your recipes. Thank you so much for the motivation in your videos and this book. Have a blessed week and I look forward to the next video sis!
Your Cookbook is a MUST have in the kitchen wonderful recipies and best part its really easy to cook
I don’t know how this happened. I tumbled off the wagon. I was losing weight and feeling great. Then depression and stress and busyness hit and I’m right back where I started. Thank you for talking like a broken record and re doing these videos.
I pre-ordered your book from Amazon and it is arriving today! Super excited! Congratulations, Kiki!! ❤❤
Yay! Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!!
I never thought I'd have a bunch of veggies and raw nuts for breakfast but here I am. A year ago I had a protein shake for breakfast, from a powder. I feel so much better!
I love your videos! Question... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a fat-loss meal plan from them and I love it
Come to a vegan channel to promote something that is not plant based is "Next level" bullying,with an innocent smile...Shame on you all in this shred.
Just purchased the new Expanded Editon of your Plantifully Lean cookbook as a birthday gift to myself 😀and it should arrive just in time 💜
I just received your book today!! I was skimming through it and thought the layout was perfect. It was well written, organized and simple. Pictures are important and they are beautiful in this book! I’m so excited to start the recipes tomorrow.. even though I already started from your videos. But this will be easier. Hoping you will continue with these videos also because they are all inspiring!!
I’d like to see a video about what a maintenance regime looks like and also about what a sensible weight range would look like,when we’re finished losing weight
After I started integrating meat back into my diet, I unintentionally stopped eating whole plant based foods. Even though I'm on the fence about continuing to eat meat, I ordered your book to inspire myself to eat cleaner. I've followed you for years and admire your work ethic and consistency ❤
Hi, I love you and your family. I've followed you for a long time. I have your first book, and I joined Eat More, Weigh Less. I enjoy your videos here and on IG. I said all that to say, I truly support you.
So, continue what you're doing and ignore the negative criticism.❤🥰❤❤
I just bought your cookbook Kiki and I can’t wait to get it! Congrats, you deserve to be a bestseller! You have put in the time and work!
I’ve watched so many of your videos explaining this and I will always watch you explain this information bc I need to drill it in and rewrite my understanding. I have stopped cooking in oil and looking forward to fat loss 🤞💚
You deserve every bit of your success kiki. Your light is always shining🌻🌻 your one of my favorite channels
Congrats on being #1 Kiki...I got my book yesterday and it's fabulous...thank you!!
I just got home from Barnes & Nobles and bought your New book! Can’t wait to dive into it! Thanks for all the hard work you put into it.
Congratulations on your new cookbook. I am living in Austria and have preordered your book a couple of months ago. I am looking forward to read it 🥰
Thank you for these post . Beautifully done sis. 🎉
I also ordered your book for help and support... Thank You.... Just found you today...
i want to highly recommend Dr OBALAR for curing me of genital warts with his natural herbs.
I just got you book, recipes look amazing and awesome pictures! ❤❤❤❤
+1 to just showing us what you bring home from the grocery store!
I've watched all your other videos like this one multiple times and I can never get enough of this story and the repetition of those tips. I FINALLY got it through my head to take a look beyond the oil at the other fats I'm eating. Did you know that a quarter of an avocado can be really satisfying? 😂
Also, major props to your sweet, supportive husband. I'm grateful to have never have anyone bag on me eating plant based but I've seen so many people whose partners not only don't support them trying to get healthy but some even actively try to sabotage it. He is definitely a gem.
Just got the book delivered yesterday from Amazon! It is SO good! I can’t wait to try some of these meals! Every single one the soups look amazing! 👏Thanks for all the videos along the way with my journey. I have lost 37 pounds and you help keep me motivated and going!
