Hey guys I hope you enjoy today's video! I think this is going to be the beginning of a continual series where I share my vegan health journey with you guys and try to be as sustainable as possible while doing it. Also if you're interested check out the description for studies on B12, the D's and some discount codes if you're interested xx (I always put my codes in the bottom of the description box of my videos just fyi) xx
I wish I had a bulk shop like that around here! Sometimes we feel frustrated because we can't find a sustainable option. I live in Lisbon, Portugal, by the way.
I really wish I had a zero-waste shop. I have tried SO hard to find something local so I do not have to get anything shipped in. However, it's not panning out very well. I just do the best I can with recycling for now!
Doing your best with what you have available to you is the best you can do and you should definitely be proud of your effort. I am incredibly lucky to have zero waste shops near me!! xx
Immy, didn't know weak glutes and thighs could lead to knee injury. My knee has been hurting for few months and after one of your videos relating the two things I finally went to see my doctor, who confirmed my muscles around the knee are too weak! So, even if mine isn't a big thing, we're sort of working out together 🙂 thank you for your videos, always so full of informations, tips, correctness (don't even know if it's a word) and zero judgement!
I really like the look of Gather! It seems they're about an hours walk from me, which as long as I wasn't getting too much seems like a really great idea so I can get some more steps in, my fitbit isn't getting as much of a workout as it should be!
That’s so smart about the basket instead of bags for grocery shopping... I always find myself fighting with my cloth tote bags at the store, especially when I have like, a bunch of jars. I’ll see if I can’t find something like that at the thrift store
Loved this video! I'm also a crossfitter and I'm going plant based since December! Trying to reduce my waste but it's really dificult where I'm from (Portugal). One step at a time. Keep it up Immy,
25,000 steps? That’s wild! Good for you love! I just moved to a big city so I’m trying to walk more places to get my exercise in, as I don’t have a gym membership. I also found a lovely co-op with an incredible bulk section and low waste organic foods. Lots of love to you, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this wonderful video again! :) I finally finished my shampoo bottle last week and now I can use a shampoo bar for the rest of my lifeee! These things and watching Immy's videos make me so excited for a more sustainable life :D
Hi! I had a question, can you share us like your workout routine? I think a lot of people would be interested in that. Thank u for this video! It was so nice!!
Something I struggle with is finding a good nutrition or workout program or information that doesn't trigger my eating disorder. I become obsessive with macros and calories and it's not a good scene. I really appreciate your video because you aren't so obsessive about it as some people seem to be int eh vegan community. Hoping to see more of that sort of approach, eating nutritiously not as a "diet" and working out for strength and injury recovery are great.
I had a mini happy heart attack when you said you watch unnatural vegan because both her and you are my vegan inspirations! Vegetarian for just under a year now and I'm just starting my own weight lifting journey. Your videos are lovely and inspiring ❤️😊
it is worth looking into omega-3 and iodine supplements also! especially if you don't consume sea vegetables or iodised salt daily to get your iodine. we also cannot get enough EPA and DHA (forms of omega-3s) from a plant based diet, only ALA from things like chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds and a few other sources. but the conversion rate of EPA and DHA from ALA is super super low so that is why we need to supplement with algae supplements.
The best idea is to get a blood test, that will tell you if your lacking any vitamin. Because blindly taking vitamin is bad for you, you could end up taking to much of a vitamin and make yourself quite poorly.
I've really been enjoying your channel recently, all your content is so well put together and always gets me thinking. Definitely been putting more effort into going lower waste. One thing I wish they would do is something not so harmful that smells like bleach or disinfectant. I don't use those products anymore but I miss the smell so much 😂
@@leighbee13 that's an amazing idea! Thank you so much I have some different scented oils in a packet someone gave me for Christmas hopefully theres pine or something that resembles it.
Tip to help deadlift and even squat form as I've struggled myself and need some help with the glutes. Do body weight glute bridges to engage your glutes and hips and then try the weighted exercises. See if it helps. Has helped me loads.
Hi dear ! Your videos are really inspiring, I am trying to live more zero waste and your tips are really useful. Makes me wanna do more. P.s. be careful with wearing gym shoes that you also use outside. It is not hygenical, it is usually forbidden at the gym, be careful about that
As a licensed massage therapist I have to say your form wasn’t bad. The only thing I’m going to say is when doing the dead lift is to keep your cervical spine I live with your upper back. Don’t keep your neck bent by looking straight forward, same thing with the hip thrusts. Don’t look down, look ahead. Otherwise keep up the great work!
Health... it is everything... it is empowering! It gets harder as one gets older, but dang I ain’t giving into the years. I find that so much of what I do for my body is ultimately related to how I perceive myself, so feeling good about me usually results in making good proactive decisions related to health, nutrition, and fitness. Yasss Immy, I would love to see more videos like this, love the emphasis on scientific, non-trendy vegan nutrition. BTW you’re looking fit, strong, and on top of your game!!
@@SustainablyVegan Most definitely this must be one of those mutually symbiotic situations... one where you enjoy making these types of videos, and I enjoy watching them (and learning too... woot! woot!). Perfect harmony 😃
The zerowaste shop you went to is simply fabulous. I like the one I go to, but we don't have spices or peanut butter without packaging. I also like the idea that you walk through a cemetery: in Italy all cemeteries have gates, so no one walks through unless they have to go inside
I did 15,000 steps in a 10hr work day and I'm so proud of myself! My daily goal is 10,000 and I'm still trying to get use to it, it's easier to get that many since I work in a warehouse and I'm on my feet 4 days a week
My diet is very specific, it's actually not that expensive where I live. I can't have gluten, sugar and soy. Every day I have gf oatmeal, and I make my food from scratch; I make granola bars and energy bites! They're delicious 😋. It's hard to get my sugar amount to zero but the amount I consume has been drastically lowered since I started. I eat tons of cinnamon, it helps with my inflammation in my back. I actually love making my food from scratch, it tastes way better
@@SustainablyVegan I always make sure to log my eating and exercise on my Fitbit app! I got a Fitbit after new years and it's been life changing and makes me realize all the changes I need to make to achieve my health goals 💪❤️
Frozen spinach! Perfect to add to stuff like your pasta dish. Also, I love the Bain and Savon conditioner bar for oily hair (I like the smell!). I melt some in hot water for ease of use in the shower, and don’t totally rinse out. Afro hair, here, btw, your mileage might vary
I've been taking the Veg 1 multi vitamins made by the Vegan Society for a while, they're super affordable. I don't take them absolutely every day, as I get most stuff from my diet, but it's good to have a backup for important things like B12. They're in plastic tubs, but they're sturdy enough to be reusable for holding things like spices. I sometimes wonder if I ought to take Omega 3 too, but not sure if it's necessary.
I really like “Pick Up Limes” too. She has great recipes, lots of good nutrition info, and I also learned some sweet hacks about Bullet Journalling from her. Gotta love that!
Love your videos and your Instagram suggestions - fell in love with Brighton Lace, totally in love with their bralettes. Was wondering - do you ask permission/talk to the store/gym before you go in with a camera? I guess they probably wouldn't mind, just wondered if you needed to ask before filming in a public place. Thanks for sharing, you made everything look so beautiful x
I have curly hair and use SLS, silicone etc. free shampoo and conditioner and I get mine from Roots and Cycle (based one Crystal Palace) - they have a number of refill brands that you could choose from. Perhaps an idea if you don’t get on with the solid conditioner!
@@SustainablyVegan HAHAHA i commented that BEFORE you said how many steps you get in, you dont even need to pump it up until you go somewhere people would normally drive too LMAO... also i loved the vid & im also a vegan who tries to reduce my waste and use a woven basket, so when you showed that i was like YOOO ME TOO!
Wow, that shop looks great! Prices seem to be quite reasonable too. Unfortunately, there is only 1 less waste shop in my area and it's really pricey :(
Nice video. Thank you. I'm not a frequent commenter on your videos, but I watch and like them often. I'm commenting now because I have a question: what are your (research based?) ideas about how much people should exercise? To me doing strength training 4 to 5 times a week and walking 25.000 steps a day seems like a lot. I've never researched it, so I have no idea. I want to know if you do work out more, because you like it/have specific goals or if you've found out that we should actually work out that much (tbh, not looking forward to that answer :P).
Hello! If you Google "world health organization physical activity recommendation" you'll find the current minimum of movement you should get in weekly to stay healthy. Doing more is just a matter of adaptation and regeneration. Someone who never was physically active and starts lifting heavy 5 days a week will probably get backlash from that.
Can you do a zero waste video for your curly hair routine? I've been "zero waste" for two years now however I had so much leave in conditioners in my possession when I transferred over I didn't need to learn more ecofriendly replacements. But I just recently ran out of my plastic contained leave ins and my hair is suffering, getting frizzy really fast and not staying kept - like yours😍
Hello lovely, do you have a PT or do you create your own workout plans? & WHAAT you do 25k steps? a day? obviously not in quarantine .... but how do you fit that in each day?
Hi Immy, I love watching your channel! (At 51 I may be your oldest follower 😉). I also became vegan about 7 years ago. The books that helped me a great deal are “Vegan for Life” by Jack Norris and Virginia Messina. And “Vegan for her” by Virginia Messina. They both are all about nutrition and the information is very extensive and clear. (But maybe you already read these). Anyway, I still often look things up in them. I think it are great books for both people who just became vegan and people who have been vegan for quite a while now. All the best with your channel!! Hope you keep making videos for a long time!! Cheers, Femke.
Hi there, I’m 56 and I’m pretty sure there a few of us 50+ folks following along here on this channel. Thanks for mentioning these book recommendations, I am definitely going to check them out. Greetings to you from Canada, and I hope you are having a great day.
How tall are you? I love your videos btw. Your voice is very soothing/relaxing and I totally think you would be amazing at recording guided meditation videos ❤️
They're coming everywhere now! The sleepy town I grew up in has two! The town I live in now has one! Keep your eyes out for petition and fund raising campaigns for them online and stay informed about your town :)
I personally love them for weightlifting and hit training / CrossFit . I'm not a runner anymore so don't know if I would like them for that, but all other things like walking, cycling, rowing etc I like them a lot. But that's because I love the barefoot feel especially when lifting heavy weight because I can actually feel the ground !
We all have 'unhealthy' things, I definitely do :) its just about having a few more healthy things. Pancakes sound good to me especially since it's pancake day today!!
Hi Immy I was wondering if you bought the Herbaland supplements in the uk or had to order them from..I think it’s Canada. They sound great but my head is battling with the environmental impact of flying them over. No judgement on you if you fly them over..I just thought I’d ask in case my googling to see if there’s a uk supplier wasn’t very good. Thank yoy. Loving all your videos x
I have been reading up on probiotics and am still trying to learn about the science and what studies have suggested is the best option, so for me jury is still out but mainly because i've been a little lazy. I have incorporated lots of fermented foods however in the mean time so that hopefully I don't have to supplement, as I don't want to supplement unless it's absolutely necessary! Hope this helps xx
Sustainably Vegan i wish I liked fermented foods better beyond yogurt. For me probiotics are the thing. Although I am going to try tempeh to see if I like that.
@@marryannc7691 I would definitely try tempeh with a sauce you make because it can be a bit meh on it's own, I personally love them with homemade bbq sauce xx
Oh it's my sisters - she tried it for a while but eventually gave it up because she thought it was meh. I think it's a good option for seriously busy people but I would always choose whole foods when I can over meal replacements
I take the b12 and a vegan omega gummy but D would help with the lack of sun! Quick question about the filter tho... I'm trying get my house to a plastic free water filter, does the charcoal brick leave any kind of flakes or sediment in it? Great video! ✌❤🌎
@@SustainablyVegan Really?! Where I live you always have to wear indoor shoes, and you are not allowed to wear the shoes you have been walking on outside for hygiene reasons. I do like your shoes btw, they look comfy!
What are some of the things you find cheapest in 0 waste shops? I live in woolwich so my closest is Lee or Peckham, but me and my boyfriend both work minimum wage and struggle to get by at best of times. Would like to make a trip to a shop but need to know there are some affordable options in shops. At the moment we mostly shop on the market and try and just shop consciously in the supermarket but would like to do more! Thanks
Things like oats, pasta, chickpeas and rice always tend to be pretty affordable ! But it's important you shop where you feel comfortable ! You can still make sustainable choices at more conventional shops that can be more affordable!
Marryann C id love to know more about the difference between dieticians and nutritionists. I know one is ‘officially medical’ and the other is more allied health professional and some of the conditions and recommendations that GojiMan makes seem to have less scientific consensus or info (SIBO, oxalation from spinach as a problem for instance). But I don’t know whether that necessary totally discredits them. Help?
Emmy I know a lot of people like to base their nutrition off of the science and the recommendations from the government or health agencies or something like that...its ok. But doesn't work for everyone. And many of the recommendations are based on decades old science. And nutrition science is not the same as other science. Its mostly epidemiological research. And not very reliable. That's all I'm saying.
Oh I completely agree - I just had nowhere else to start and I wanted to start from ANY basis in research. I'm also going to get blood tests done as well to find out any actual deficiencies in me personally and have to move on. Completely agree that not everything works for everyone and also government recs can be biased (especially in the US) Just going to tread carefully!
You're taking very lot protein , much protein is not good , Doing make the fact of being vegan makes you go proteinaholic Am vegan and i read an search much in nutrition and my advice is lower the protein , no need for protein snacks etc , just normal food

That grocery store you went to looks awesome! I wish we had something like that where I live.

Goodness how you can lift up my spirit just by saying hello into a metal tin :D You are awesome!

Abbey Sharps channel is great, she's a registered dietitian and has some very good videos about vegan nutrition despite not being vegan herself
Great thank you so much!

Great comment here Emily... I am with you 100% on this one.
Thumbs up from me for being the only woman at the gym !! :)
Haha only at this time - my gym is usually very 50/50 and the guys are really supportive and helpful! We have a nice community there
I had a mini happy heart attack when you said you watch unnatural vegan because both her and you are my vegan inspirations! Vegetarian for just under a year now and I'm just starting my own weight lifting journey. Your videos are lovely and inspiring ❤️😊

ah thank you so much, I've been trying to try out different content so i'm really glad you've been joying it xx Yes I agree on the bleach front
The smell of dettol disinfectant is mostly pine oil. Maybe try some pine scents see if it scratches the itch.
@@leighbee13 that's an amazing idea! Thank you so much I have some different scented oils in a packet someone gave me for Christmas hopefully theres pine or something that resembles it.

Zero-waste shops are a nice idea, too bad we don't have any in my city or probably whole country (Germany). ❤️
You actually have the FIRST zero waste shop ever in Berlin called Original Unverpackt : instagram.com/originalunverpackt/

But i live in Hannover. 😔👌
Actually there are many stores in Germany

Really liked this video! Wish we had bulk stores like that in Sweden, we don't :(
I fw Brian Turner and Simnett Nutrition and Madeline Olivia
Healthycrazycool and Sweet Potato Soul, and Rachel Ama are good too
You’re an inspiration!
I think I could eat apple and peanut butter everyday and not get bored of it
Lol me too xx
25 THOUSAND steps?! thats a lot! i am very impressed haha
I see your wearing vivo barefoot shoes are they good because I've been thinking about getting some? :) xx
I personally love them for weightlifting and hit training / CrossFit . I'm not a runner anymore so don't know if I would like them for that, but all other things like walking, cycling, rowing etc I like them a lot. But that's because I love the barefoot feel especially when lifting heavy weight because I can actually feel the ground !
Sustainably Vegan Great good to know :)
Do you aim for 25k steps every day?? How'd you settle on that amount? V impressive, that's like 10 miles!!
loving this chill vlog vibe :)
Yaaas good because there's more coming
Sustainably Vegan amazing! looking forward to it ☺️
Your workout routine look difficult I’m impressed 🙌🏼☺️
Do you count your food miles?
I'm SO ready for Jeff Nippard to go plant-based. Just waiting...
How do you use the charcoal?
Watching this eating a Nutella pancake 😭
We all have 'unhealthy' things, I definitely do :) its just about having a few more healthy things. Pancakes sound good to me especially since it's pancake day today!!
Eating pancakes on pancake Day is non negotiable and doesn't count ;)
I love apple and peanut butter and you’re Chanel !
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Immy
I was wondering if you bought the Herbaland supplements in the uk or had to order them from..I think it’s Canada. They sound great but my head is battling with the environmental impact of flying them over. No judgement on you if you fly them over..I just thought I’d ask in case my googling to see if there’s a uk supplier wasn’t very good. Thank yoy. Loving all your videos x
Do you take any probiotics or anything for a healthy gut?
I have been reading up on probiotics and am still trying to learn about the science and what studies have suggested is the best option, so for me jury is still out but mainly because i've been a little lazy. I have incorporated lots of fermented foods however in the mean time so that hopefully I don't have to supplement, as I don't want to supplement unless it's absolutely necessary! Hope this helps xx
Sustainably Vegan i wish I liked fermented foods better beyond yogurt. For me probiotics are the thing. Although I am going to try tempeh to see if I like that.
@@marryannc7691 I would definitely try tempeh with a sauce you make because it can be a bit meh on it's own, I personally love them with homemade bbq sauce xx
Sustainably Vegan ooh sounds delicious
💚
Can you make a video about the cost of zero waste shopping?
Yes!
Awesome!
Where is your basket bag from?
Noticed that you were wearing a Huel t-shirt. What is your opinion on their products?
Oh it's my sisters - she tried it for a while but eventually gave it up because she thought it was meh. I think it's a good option for seriously busy people but I would always choose whole foods when I can over meal replacements
lovely video
I take the b12 and a vegan omega gummy but D would help with the lack of sun! Quick question about the filter tho... I'm trying get my house to a plastic free water filter, does the charcoal brick leave any kind of flakes or sediment in it?
Great video! ✌❤🌎
Not that I've ever experienced - it literally acts like a sponge because it's so porous so I wouldn't imagine that it would leave anything !
@@SustainablyVegan Thanks so much! I really need to give it a try. Gotta thrift a glass pitcher first haha 😊
Are you allowed to wear your outdoor shoes in the gym?
Yeah of course
@@SustainablyVegan Really?! Where I live you always have to wear indoor shoes, and you are not allowed to wear the shoes you have been walking on outside for hygiene reasons. I do like your shoes btw, they look comfy!
What are some of the things you find cheapest in 0 waste shops? I live in woolwich so my closest is Lee or Peckham, but me and my boyfriend both work minimum wage and struggle to get by at best of times. Would like to make a trip to a shop but need to know there are some affordable options in shops. At the moment we mostly shop on the market and try and just shop consciously in the supermarket but would like to do more! Thanks
Things like oats, pasta, chickpeas and rice always tend to be pretty affordable ! But it's important you shop where you feel comfortable ! You can still make sustainable choices at more conventional shops that can be more affordable!
still don’t understand why you should write the weight of a jar on lid, the weights have button for that
Because they deduct the amount at the till
I love GojiMan! I’m an omnivore (with limited meat intake). I find his videos & yours very informative & entertaining.
Marryann C id love to know more about the difference between dieticians and nutritionists. I know one is ‘officially medical’ and the other is more allied health professional and some of the conditions and recommendations that GojiMan makes seem to have less scientific consensus or info (SIBO, oxalation from spinach as a problem for instance). But I don’t know whether that necessary totally discredits them. Help?
where are your blue shoes from?
Do you mean my green ones? They're from Vivo barefoot (vegan primus)
Emmy I know a lot of people like to base their nutrition off of the science and the recommendations from the government or health agencies or something like that...its ok. But doesn't work for everyone. And many of the recommendations are based on decades old science. And nutrition science is not the same as other science. Its mostly epidemiological research. And not very reliable. That's all I'm saying.
Oh I completely agree - I just had nowhere else to start and I wanted to start from ANY basis in research. I'm also going to get blood tests done as well to find out any actual deficiencies in me personally and have to move on. Completely agree that not everything works for everyone and also government recs can be biased (especially in the US) Just going to tread carefully!
You're taking very lot protein , much protein is not good ,
Doing make the fact of being vegan makes you go proteinaholic
Am vegan and i read an search much in nutrition and my advice is lower the protein , no need for protein snacks etc , just normal food
is that a ring I see you trying to hide??
