So let me say I had gained a lot of weight at the end of 2021 I was pregnant had a miscarriage in November and was not in a good place and was just feeling like a slob…. This was a kick start for me, I feel so good y’all! One 💚
Hi, Laurie. I was vegetarian for almost 6 years. I noticed I had less headaches, lost about 20 pounds. My skin was AMAZING. I'm gonna try again next month 🙃
Had the same experience with you. Was doing 21 lasted 7 days but I’m strongly considering going back to the eating plan. The energy is amazing. Weight loss and being regular. Insomnia was a problem but I enjoyed it. There’s also a lot of variety of foods one can eat. I tend to agree with the strategy of eating chicken and fish on weekends weekday veges fruits beans legumes and lots of water all the way. 👌
Hi there! I recently stopped eating meat. I saw your comment and had to respond. You experienced insomnia when you gave up meat? How long did it last? I am currently experiencing the same. Thank you!
Hi. I hope everyone is remembering to take ur b12 and iron vitamins when u cut meat out so your vitamin levels don't get to low. And stay hydrated! Be blessed and stay well 🙏🏾❤
I was a vegetarian for several years at 2 different times in my life sparked by how we treat livestock in this country & how it’s processed. I eat meat now but some things I have changed is…not eating conventional meat or eggs & I have meat-free days and weeks. I also limit my red meat. I too come from a Jamaican family & goat, beef patties & jerk chicken are a part of my life! In my research to maintain a healthy lifestyle I’ve learned that you’ve got to beef up on fruits & veg to maintain longevity. I’m enjoying the content Laurie Ann! One 💚
At minute 1:17 Sister, you're a real one ☝🏾😄 Fe ah expose your yuhself like this. Big up yuhself! Whenever I go home 🇯🇲 My first food and drink is beef patty and coconut water 😋
Great Video. My wife and I sometimes give up meat in January as spiritual/religious fast but this year we've continued not eating meat since January. My skin has cleared up, been sleeping better, have seen changes in my weight, and I have more energy. We've been creative with making meals. I have my moments of missing meat and will eventually go back to Chicken or Fish. But it's been a interesting journey. We're going to see how long we can last.
Great video! I started watching you a few weeks ago and I really love your transparency. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is so hard I week especially working 12 hour shifts. Listen when I migrated to the USA I brought so much curry with me my kids asked if I'm opening a restaurant..lol. My kids and husband love love curry. I am Jamaican born but spend my latter childhood and adulthood in The Bahamas . I'm always looking for Jamaican products and we found some hot patty the other day and the kids were so happy
I have been on no meat since the beginning of lent I do miss the meat.but I dont miss the bloat and tightness. It is very hard but meal planning must be done pray for me till good Friday!
Definitely a journey! Converted to Alkaline Dr Sebi lifestyle and lost 25 pounds in 3 months. Felt amazing. Def a discipline. Would encourage you to limit chicken in US due to estrogens. But enjoy it in JA. Best to u Laurie!
You've made it this far? Good job! You're almost done. Keep pushing yourself! Think of the benefits your body is experiencing and will as you're detoxing and giving your gut break.
I gave up meat (poultry, pork and beef) in 2016. People always ask when I gave up meat did I notice a difference and I don't remember. I'm sure I prob did but it's been so long now I can't recall. I would say a vegetarian diet works best for me. I did Vegan/Plant based for a while and it was too restricting for me. I use non-dairy creamers/milk. Most times non-dairy cheese but there are times when I do have dairy as in mac n cheese, pizza, etc. The only time I miss meat is smoked turkey in greens/green beans😂
Yes vegetarian is definitely something I can see myself doing bc like I say the minute I land in Jamaica it is over🤣😩… I am sure there was a change but like you said it was long ago. 💚
I decided to do the "Veganuary" challenge on January 1st and as of this date I have eaten no meat. I'm not vegan as I have an occasional egg and some plain yogurt and butter, but less and less often. I feel light and lost weight too. 🙂👍
My first two weeks of no meat I felt that I could leap a tall building. But I had to start eating fish because I started feeling off. I wasn't sluggish or anything. I didn't even get a bad body odor smell.
fish is meat, It's so funny people believing fish is a distinctive creature or something. Same for honey, it's an animal product made from bees enzymes
@@Diss-jd2un well sir. I was on a challenge with some coworkers. I know fish is meat and anything that is a byproduct of anything with eyes, mouth, digestive system is considered meat or not plant based. Evidently my body needed something that is in meat, I just chose fish.
I love this video! I’m Originally from the Bahamas and I always tell my friends who recently became vegans that as soon as I could give up curried chicken…I’ll give it a shot 😂😂 so I understand why you could never “truly” become a vegan too 😂 FYI, Jamaican beef patty is TOP TEIR 😅🙌🏽
I’m going to try this no meat eating thing out. I’m so grateful you added channels for food inspirations I’m in my early thirties and this grown woman weigh has hit my thighs and stomach! Lol Wish me luck!
Loved your intro statement! First 10 seconds subscribed! Fellow Caribbean girl. I’ve easily cut out pork and beef in the last decade, chickens been more challenging but the past 2 years I’ve leaned towards pescatarian for weeks or months and cut out dairy periodically and notice the difference physically & mentally. Though my goal is to be vegetarian that leans towards minimal dairy I’m not putting the pressure on myself to not ever enjoy what I’ve come to love in true moderation. Good luck on your energy sis ❤️
Thank you so much! it is hard for me and chicken not gonna lie. I eat Oxtail and Goat meat prob 4 times a year but chicken is harder. I have recently started again with veggies and fish.
I already tried this No meat challenge for almost 11months and i feel so good , No to bloated tummy for a month and i think its better to not eat at night to digest food faster :)
Love your videos and transparency! I too am a FNP and am on a journey to improve my health though diet. What I love to add to my greens and veges to give it a smoked flavor is Bakon Seasoning-hickory smoked dried torula yeast. If you like smoked turkey legs in your cooking I'm sure you'll love this. Let me know what you think if you do try it!
This really good definitely enjoyed this. I think I stopped eating meat last year and ever since then my skin has been looking way better than it did last year.
From what you said you ate a lot of fried chicken. Fried chicken is high in Omega 6 and people fry it in seed oils which are poison and the flour coating is also so bad for you.

Hi, Laurie. I was vegetarian for almost 6 years. I noticed I had less headaches, lost about 20 pounds. My skin was AMAZING. I'm gonna try again next month 🙃
Yes the skin for me that is why I am really trying to continue just to be more mindful of how I eat
May I ask why did you stop after not eating meat for 6 years ?
U can see an identical thread on carnivore diet without eating plants.. People lost weight and came off diabetes meds and hypertension meds
@@tayokarate
Do you have any youtubelinks to possibly share regarding this?
New to the no meat challenge but now it’s a life style 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼lost 10 lbs and mood is so much better!!!

You've made it this far?
Good job!
You're almost done. Keep pushing yourself!

Congratulations 18 days is amazing! Keep at it girl you can do it!
I totally agree our gut really need a break
You got this sis. One day at a time. 💪🏽
Thank you for this video, I am about to embark on the no meat journey.
It's all about what works for you, me, no meat until dinner, lost 14 pounds two weeks.
I gave up meat (poultry, pork and beef) in 2016. People always ask when I gave up meat did I notice a difference and I don't remember. I'm sure I prob did but it's been so long now I can't recall.

😂 this was me! Was vegetarian for 2 years. Went to Jamaica and boom KFC! 🤣
I decided to do the "Veganuary" challenge on January 1st and as of this date I have eaten no meat. I'm not vegan as I have an occasional egg and some plain yogurt and butter, but less and less often. I feel light and lost weight too. 🙂👍

🤣😩! Yes to the curry chicken and I agree Jamaican patty is the best! Thanks for watching 💚

I’m in my early thirties and this grown woman weigh has hit my thighs and stomach! Lol
Wish me luck!
I’ve been a vegetarian 🌱 all my life BUT I have a sweet tooth 😋 hence the obesity 😩. It’s time for a change though.

@@fromcnatonp good luck on your journey*
Today is day 21. My attitude is better, chest pain is gone, I'm working quicker, and I'm dreaming more vividly.
i find my bloating goes away when i take probiotic pills daily and eat less carb products
I am better now taking my probiotic and Vitamins definitely helps
I am a vegan . Eating plant based is easier and more simple. My husband too changed and when he eats chicken or meat he feels sick now .
Good for you Jennifer I really is a better way for long healthy life
Island food so good but so heavy on us.. curry veggies sound so good right now😊
I already tried this No meat challenge for almost 11months and i feel so good , No to bloated tummy for a month and i think its better to not eat at night to digest food faster :)
U can try only meat diet too ,u will get the same effect
@@tayokarateAnd it will taste good.

This really good definitely enjoyed this. I think I stopped eating meat last year and ever since then my skin has been looking way better than it did last year.
Start out is just broccoli and rice. A good way to start not eating meat.
Did you eat milk/cheese ?
Excellent video, I want to try this.
From what you said you ate a lot of fried chicken. Fried chicken is high in Omega 6 and people fry it in seed oils which are poison and the flour coating is also so bad for you.
My upcoming trip to Jamaica is the reason I’m here
Thanks for your info…
I had horrible acne about 8yrs ago. Took a medication called Accutane for 6 months. Never had a pimple since. Best decision I've ever made.
Like how does that apply here
@@tayokarate lol I'm telling her how to clear up her skin and still eat all that ish.
It's going to come back dear. I've been through there and cleared up but after a year or 2 it came back up until I gave up eating certain food
@@nangamsotengo8401 ok. It's been 9yrs for me now and not a pimple.
lol both my sisters did also and their skin is flawless now
Kudos to you
I quit veganisn and got the result you got stop eating meat :) i eat meat with vegatables niw agin - so different people and different things work :)
I’m starting back with not eating meat again lol .
I just started again! All the best
I couldn't do it for even one day....lol
You should have dropped all the carbs instead.
Your so beautiful 😍
So you ate fat and vegetables. Sounds like Keto.
When ninety days I felt unbelievably great
Ok with that
