50 days in for me and I haven’t had acid reflux for weeks!!! Also losing weight and feeling so amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey 💙
That’s awesome! Happy to hear.
Do you use onion powder, garlic powder and or some spicy condiments? I have acid reflux also..love wfpb but wish I could have some spices.
Susan Reade Yes I use garlic powder, onion powder, dill, paprika, Mediterranean sea salt, Rosemary, chives, I mean really I use anything that’s not spicy.
Susan Reade I eat salsa and mild hot sauce but I don’t use any spicy seasoning
@@Eattherainbow427 cool...going to add in GPU and onion powder, and try a mild salsa....that really helps!!
You were 32 when you "discovered" this way of eating. I was 62! I had never heard of this way of eating either. That a sad commentary on how good the diet industry is on promoting their way of eating that doesn't work. I've lost 14 pounds so far, since mid April. It came about with less exercise and not a less amount of food. Its slow but to me the food is delicious and this way of eating is sustainable
Great job! So happy you discovered this amazing life!
I was 47, was wishing I had learned this at 32, good thing is it's never too late!
Congrats and well done on your journey! ♥ I hope you're doing well
(ps- we have a similar name! Mine is Angelia Lol)
Well........ its never too late! Dr. Greggor's mother is a prime example. Don't look back ....look forward because that is what we can change!
Your videos are so refreshing. I have been getting bogged down trying to make extravagant vegan meals to get my hubby and teen to go vegan. You inspire me to focus on my health and to keep it simple.
So happy to help
Oh my word... I can't believe how similar our stories are. I'm going on 50, and after years and years of failing at the vegan thing...I am finally ready to make this work the right way. Feel so blessed to have found your channel!
You are going to do great! I'm so happy you're here!
Great video! I love hearing about how people's health improves eating this way! I am just starting week 7 of eating wfbp and loving it! I'm down 13 pounds and am feeling so good! I am finding it so easy and I don't have any cravings for unhealthy junk food-like substances! Wfbp for life!! ☺
Woohoo! Love this. Congrats to you. Keep it up!
Thank you!
your skin is glowing! 😍
Thank you!
I was also born in New Orleans and was raised on all that wonderful southern food. Hard to resist sometimes! ☺️
Mee too
Your assessment is spot on re: "vegan" processed foods. I've been vegan for over a year and couldn't understand why I was still packing on the weight. I concluded, like yourself, that I was eating nearly all processed foods and this was the culprit. Your videos outlining your experience helped to solidify that conclusion and to acknowledge the reality of poor eating, albeit vegan. Thanks for the reinforcement afforded by your excellent videos. You are doing a great service to all who wish to improve their health simply. Yea, Dr. McDougall also. Just ordered his book. Thanks, Tia!!
PS - your glowing complexion and beautiful hair speak volumes toward your good health
This is so inspiring. Our stories are similar. I became vegetarian as a teen and have been fad dieting since my early twenties. After having 3 babies and a back surgery, my body feels horrible. I’ve been vegan since January and haven’t lost anything. Enough is enough. I know in my mind, this is the way I need to eat. Thank you for sharing.
It's my pleasure. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for sharing your story! This way of eating is honestly a game changer for me personally!
That’s so great to hear. Me too 🙌🏻🌱
Hey fellow New Orleanean!!! I’ve just started my journey. What led me here was the constant bloating and sinking feeling I was experiencing.
Hi there! So happy you’re here! I hear ya on that one. Good luck with this amazing life!
Thanks for all the candid thoughts. You are are refreshing person to have come across. I had watched a few of your videos before this one, and I thought to myself I recognize that “Nawlins” accent. Thanks for sharing , I’m a native too. Keep the videos coming, great source of content for those of us new to HFPB eating.
Awesome to have you here! Thanks so much!
your curly hair is sooooo gorgeous by the way!
Thank you so much
love, love love grits spinach and sun-dried tomatoes yuuummm
Thanks for spelling it out!
Anything to help ❤️
My dear you did it and by faith it worked I’m happy for you,thnk God for your life.
You’re so beautiful! Love your hair ☺️💕🥰💐
That’s so sweet, thank you
Perseverance!!!!!
Being from New Orleans myself, and still living in the area, oh how I know how delicious our food is.... how tempting it all is. I have been 95% on board with the plant based way of eating for the past year, my weight has plateaued though because I do so good, eating all I should...BUT THEN, I will have a bowl of cereal...a slice or 2 of my kids pizza, cheese puffs, etc. I can't seem to do it 100%, but have these few little things too occasionally - wish I could nip those remaining 5% things out of my life....
Thank you for sharing your journey and recipes!
First of all, that’s amazing you are mostly plant based on New Orleans girl! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Second, don’t beat yourself up, you’ll get there. Take it one day at a time. I too used to have trouble with the kids food, but that stopped when I was filling my meals with fiber. Maybe add more broccoli to your meals? Do you eat broccoli? That veggie has an amazing way of stopping cravings or temptations!
@@HealthyVeganMama I love Broccoli, but usually at night, I just want a bowl of cereal or something unhealthy... when I get the munchies, it's hard to turn to veggies in th evenings.
@@kristybeck3494 I’m the same. I usually eat fruit at night if I need something sweet. Lots of water and low in calories
You dont have to be 100%, but you know you need to replace those unhealthy/calorie dense items. You have the answer!
Okay, no coincidence I found you today. I’ve been a junk food vegan for a bit. I’m going to start going whole food shopping this weekend to start this lifestyle.
Woohoo! Way to go 👊🏻
The most important thing is to know about the Nutrition.
So very true
Awesome testimony you are an inspiration thank you so much for sharing your story and God bless you and your family 😊
Thank you so much ❤️
You are welcome 😊
Wow 12 years old that’s really intense! I feel like as a society we are progressing a little bit on the self compassion front but not fast enough. Diet culture is still going strong. I’m glad you found veganism 💕
Thanks I’m glad too. Yes I think we are progressing. Plus I was 12 back on 1992, so that was a while ago. But still so sad that I felt that way that young. Happy I got myself straight
Very inspiring and relatable. Thank you for the video! Subscribed!
Thank you so much! So happy you’re here.
Thank you so much for sharing! It really helps everyone to know what your struggles were and how you over came. So thankful God answered your prayers! I think it the way God intended us to eat before the fall. Love you
You are so welcome!
👋, did you have a vegan menu.
God has a way of getting our attention! i was at my wits end in march--i said out loud, "lord i need your help"! he spoke to my heart...MEATLESS MARCH...now, 2 months later...i have lost 8 lbs eating a Plant Based lifestyle! your videos are so encouraging---keep doing U!
Wow that’s awesome
OMG! Gallbladder/pancreatitis is what got me started, too.
😩 I thought I was dying. So happy to have been able to healthy again. Hope you are well.
😩 I thought I was dying. So happy to have been able to healthy again. Hope you are well.
😩 I thought I was dying. So happy to have been able to healthy again. Hope you are well.
It was definitely a scary year. So glad to be on the mend, and glad to hear you are doing well, too!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your journey, your channel has helped me so much! Could you do one on how you got your family to switch over? I am finding it very challenging for my family. 😊 I have been doing it for 15 months and lost 60lbs and remedied many serious health issues for myself but my husband and kids (18 and 20 yrs) don’t seem interested. I used to try very hard to make recipes they would like but always got lots of negativity and resistance. I finally gave up and told them they could cook for themselves. I know I should just set a good example and not force anyone but it’s so hard to watch them knowing their health could be better as there are already some serious health issues for my husband and son.
Way to go! 60lbs and getting your health in order is amazing. As far as your family, you know them better than me. All I did for my family was tell them they could eat how they want, but in the house, I’m only cooking plant based meals. Eventually my husband made the decision on his own to switch over because he was feeling great. He occasionally will eat animal products, but’s it’s rare now.
I think just not pressuring is probably the way to go with older kids who are pretty much adults, but again, you know them better than anyone. Just follow your gut. Best of luck to you.
Hungry Vegan Mama Thank you! 😊
Our story is seriously so similar. Vegan RUclips makes it look like people go vegan over night, have a healthy WFPB diet figured out over night and all the equipment to immediately start producing gorgeous videos 😅😅. It’s a journey. I just uploaded today that this “ex-vegan” is going plant based again. We’ll see what happens with that lol I’m a little scared. RUclips can be so brutal on all sides of the coin.
It's definitely a journey and I love sharing my struggles with transitioning and how I overcame them so others can see that this is normal and real
and good luck to you
Another Louisiana-n here :D When I saw you eating grits, I knew you had to be southern lol I am a plant based health coach and it's super hard eating this way when we are surrounded with the heavy, southern comfort foods. Glad i found your channel!!
Who dat?! 🙌🏻⚜️ hahaha oh I get it and bet it is tough living there. But hats off to you for sticking to what you know is good for you your body and for teaching others the same. So happy you’re here with me.
haha me being from new jersey (where grits isnt exactly a popular thing) i knew it too from the moment i saw 😂 southern food is sooo good though ♥
Your journey is inspiring. I do think God heard your prayers. I need to focus and make sure I don't gain weight. thanks so much for sharing. I'm 66 and a diabetic not taking Metformin, but overweight.
I’m very inspired by your story. Grew up eating junk but until I was 11 or so I was tall and skinny. Now, after 11 I started packing on weight. Went on diets at a very young age but I would just gain it all back. By the time I graduated from high school I was over 300 pounds. I reached my heaviest at 360 and my health started to go down hill. I was diagnosed with a Kidney Disease, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Acid Reflux. I developed IBS and lost a lot of weight from that. I then started the Keto diet and lost down to 165. This was over a period of 7 years or so up and down with my weight. Keto though killed my gallbladder and my cholesterol was very high. The past few months I have switched to a vegan diet for my health but I’ve gained at least 30 pounds. I’m scared to weigh myself. I want to do WFPB to help me not only feel better but get back to 165. I’m 5’11 and that is just a good weight for me. I’m loving all your videos! I really appreciate you sharing your story. I feel like I can really do this if I can cut out the junk food.
I’m so happy you feel inspired and I know you can take control of you health finally! Yes a wfpb diet is the way to live super healthy and any unwanted or unhealthy weight will come off, you just have to be patient and consistent. Now that’s a big blanket statement, there are some little adjustments here and there that may be needed, but all in all eating this way will help you tremendously, I’m sure if it. Wishing you the all the luck!
@@HealthyVeganMama thank you! 😊
Love this video. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you so much
You are awesome !! Thank you so much for your posts ! Love that you are helping us figure out where we are going wrong on our vegan journey !! ❌⭕️ stay amazing 😉
It’s my pleasure
Started the Starch Solution for Maximum Weight Loss to lose weight but then you learn about the negative health effects of the standard american diet and it has changed from weight loss to wanting to be healthy! Bonus that it is better for the animals and planet as well. I've been doing this 5ish weeks and I'm down 10 pounds. It is a slower weight loss than using a "fad" diet but we all know those do not work long term - hence the weight you gain back and then some! Enjoying your channel, helps to hear and see how others are doing this!
This is excellent to hear. Yeah this is naturally and real fat loss. That’s a great speed and actually really great! Keep it up!
I can relate to this SO much on every level!
I love that. Thanks for being here
Almost to sheading tears , thnk God for your live tia I’m happy you really looking great.
Thank you so much. That’s sweet to say
I am vegan too.. and your videos are amazing ma'm 😄
Thank you
Omigoodness my story is so similar to yours thank you so much for sharing your tips tricks and recipes with us!
Thank you for the video 🥰
Now we’re talking, sister! Thank you! This sounds great and much healthier than how I usually prepare and eat grits!🤫😂
Yay! Hope you enjoy. It’s one of my favorites.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have been vegetarian for 6 years and then vegan for the last year. I actually gained 15 lbs giving up dairy. So discouraging! I struggle everyday with cravings and all the deliscious junky food my family eats. I have a husband and adult children at home who constantly bring foods that I'm trying to give up into our home. No support from my cohabitors is my major issue! So frustrating 😫. I've had the talks with them but just knowing and seeing them eat all the goodies i wish i could have makes me feel deprived and depressed. Any ideas on how to cope with non-supporting family?
If you're on ig message me and I can try to help a little. Wishing you all the best!
@@HealthyVeganMama not on instagram. Messenger?
Nancy Ferland yes that works.
I love the hx of your progress. So helpful!!!! I know you mentioned the no alchol in previous vids but wondering if u could go into detail about it like this.
Thank you. What exactly are you wanting to hear more about in the way of no alcohol?
@@HealthyVeganMama mmmmm maybe how you got thru that in just not drinking at all even tho that's what you were used to. Or I guess if there are more details to the story like this one u explained. It was just super helpful and I was wondering if there was more details to the alchol piece like u went into detail this vid.
I have wanted to go vegan so many times. Can so relate.
Same happened with me, I made these extravagant vegan dinners that exhausted me and so I started buying fake meats etc. - simple plant-based recipes now helping me and family stick to this
Awesome!!! 🌱❤️
I have been watching your videos the past few days trying to motivate myself to eat more plant based. I had gestational diabetes with my son....22 years ago. I have also had two gall bladder attacks since 10 years apart. I do just enough to avoid the attacks now and even though I know what to do I stop a few months after a health scare. My struggle is breakfast and I like something sweet. I am going to try the sweet potato with banana! Thanks for showing quick and easy meals. PS...I still have my gallbladder too. (:
Best of luck to you. Tips big bowl cereal is the best on the morning and super healthy! It’ll be back for sale in a few months. Stay updated on plantstrong.com
So, so inspiring!
I am pescatarian and mostly plant based,you look fab, I have gallstones as well and fat free diet is the only way to control it.
Luckily I can have some healthy fat, but not too much. Our gallbladders weren’t meant to have all this fat in our bodies. It’s no wonder so many people have to have them taken out. Happy to hear you got yours under control.
Hi! 🙋♀️ I'm so glad to have found your channel! I can relate to much of your story. It's taken me a long time to finally get this plant 🌱 based gig down. I've been looking for new encouraging channels to subscribe to that are more about plant based for health and not just vegan. I can't eat a lot of what vegans eat. If I even look at unhealthy food I gain 5 pounds! 😆 Anyway, thanks for sharing! New sub! 💕
Hi. So happy you’re here. I was the same way, if it wasn’t a whole plant food, I’d gain weight.
Loved your video 💋
Thank you
I watched Forks over Knives and it was eye opening but then I watched What the Health and that was life changing...it is what really changed my mind about being Plant Based if you haven’t watched it check it out...it’s on Netflix too
Love those both! Very eye opening for sure.
@@HealthyVeganMama yeah what the health actually scared me and even convinced my husband to change too which I NEVER thought would happen...I’m glad he did cause I don’t know if I could do it by myself like you I would not have the discipline and dedication that you do
Wowowwwwwww that breakfast?!? Brilliant!
It’s delicious 😋
I have that same Peter pan shirt that you're wearing in the thumbnail! 💚 Disney fans all have the same clothes 😂
You know it 🙌🏻 can’t wait to go back! And so excited get vegan food there thanks to you
Thank you so much for sharing
Hello my beautiful friend!!!! I am new in this lifestyle. I loved your story. I am following you and other channels that following starch solution lifestyle 🙏❤️
Hi there! Thank you so much for being here❤️
I am afraid to go visit New Orleans because of all the food temptations. Am I just plain crazy?
😂 no
Same with me! FOK on Netflix made me go cold turkey toward wfpbno!! Been over 2 years now. Totally love it and will never go back to the SAD diet.
Woohoo! That’s awesome and big congrats to you!
Question: I find that after I eat this way for a few days (high carb, low fat starch solution 50/50 plate) 2 things happen. I start to lose my appetite and I would rather not eat than eat all the starch and veg OR I feel full but not satisfied and find myself reaching for something fatty that will fulfill that need. Did this happen to you? Anyone have any insight on this?
When I started I didn’t do the 50/50 plate. I just ate higher starch and veggies when I could get them in and lower fat. I felt great. At time I found I was a little unsatisfied because I was hardly eating any fat, so I raised that amount a little and it was perfect.
Hungry Vegan Mama Thanks! I really resonate with your story 🙂
Amanda Have you tried doing the 3/4 of the plate non starch veggies like salad and then do 1/4 of the plate like beans or potatoes? It might help
Good info! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Amen!
Nice videos! Just moved to Austin few months ago... really like your lipsticks... could you share the brand... the colors... please? ❤️
In this video I have on E.L.F coral lip color. Here’s the link www.amazon.com/l-f-Matte-Color-Coral-Ounce/dp/B00592MLTC#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div
Interesting that I happened to come across your channel today :D I've been "mostly vegan" for about two years, not really lost any weight and I was diagnosed with gall stones last winter. I've only had a few very mild gall stone attacks over the last year, but suddenly several in the last two weeks. Last week I finally descided that I really need to cut out the chocolate and chips and other unhealthy stuff from my diet if I want to keep all my inner organs and stay/get healthy. Now I actually crave real food and not chocolate! I need to lose about 35 kg (70 lbs I think?), so let's hope that starts melting away :) ✨
You can do it! So happy you found me and you’re here! Wishing you all the best!
great job...!
Thank you
I can't agree more with the gallbladder attacks. I have been having them on and off for years and I finally went back on a vegan diet again and that is when I notice I feel my best. I am trying my best to have my foods available and choices available so I do not resort to my old ways of eating.
Also, do you use a little oils and avocados from time to time now?
So happy you are trying to control the attacks with food.
No oil whatsoever. It is not healthy and bad for heart health no matter what you hear out there. Yes I eat avocados from time to time, but I won’t eat an entire one because it’s like 30g of fat in just one. Most of the time I’ll eat 1/3 or 1/2 of one.
How did you fight any cravings? I find myself wanting something crunchy that isn’t a vegetable
Make some oil free chips. I buy some from Whole Foods that are almost zero fat, oil free and super low on calories. I cut them in triangles, pop them in the over and dip them in a little of my cheese sauce and...amazing!
Hungry Vegan Mama thank you
Popcorn!!😁
Great video! It resonated so much I thought I was the one saying everything you said! :) . I am just wondering how you handled "coming off the affects" of a Standard American Diet (SAD) ie: the addiction to caffeine, sweets, highly salted foods, dairy etc. Did you implement something (non-food related) to interrupt the pattern of eating the foods that were making you so unhealthy and unhappy?...
I did fine. Going from the SAD where I was always restricting to this, felt like a treat. From the start I was always satisfied and full so haven’t had many problem. The hardest part was the mental part. But I overcame that with the help from Ryan Adams with Natural Weight Loss Mastery. He has a RUclips channel that is great.
Thank you. I will check him out. This is what I was wondering re: the "mental" part. Thanks. Keeping making videos.. they are great :) I wish you the best! @@HealthyVeganMama
I had gestational cholestasis with both pregnancies and gestational diabetes with the second. Both were awful.
Oh man
My Gi doctor never told me if I ate different I could keep my gallbladder. Worst mistake of my life.Luckily I seen forks over knives at beginning of covid. Vegan lifestyle changed my health for sure.😊
Thanks for the great recipes can you add more pix of when you were bigger.
I just bought the book . The starch solution by McDougall. Does this really work
Making starch the center of your meals is life changing! It’s definitely transformed me. Best of luck!
Eating this way is definitely food freedom! I love it so far. Hoping my husband will join me at some point. Just wanted to let you know that gallstones are a risk factor for gallbladder cancer. My MIL died of that a few years ago. It's one of the deadliest forms of cancers out there and no treatment that is successful. She was a very healthy woman who was diagnosed in August and died in early December of the same year. She had gall stones for several years and went against her doctor's advice to have it out. Not worth the risk in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
😍
Can you let me know which French pot you own? I’ve always wanted one but don’t like the Dutch oven depth but like that your pan have more width and curvy
Hmmmm I don’t use a pot in this video, but all the ones I use are Le Crusette
I find it a struggle being vegan and feeding my husband and 3 kids dinners/meals etc
I get it - it can be so easy. Just have to simplify things
I have change my mind to eating plant based stuff and I’m sure I’m going to loose weight too.
Do you eat vegan cheese or vegan butter?
No I try to eat mostly whole plant foods and sometimes minimally processed pastas and breads.
What does gritz taste like?
Kind of like corn...it’s good
Thnk God for Dr madougall
Your story is very inspiring. Can this diet help my waistline get smaller.? I heard that carbs can make your waistline wider, my goal is to slim my waistline so I can have a healthy heart.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you find it inspiring and happy you’re here.
Eating more calories than your body burns will make you gain weight...period. Not one particular macronutrient. I’ve lost 50 lbs so fiat eating lots of carbs...Lots. The benefit to a Whole Foods plant based diet is not only amazing health, but most plant foods are naturally lower in calories so you can eat more and fill your stomach and not have to worry about “dieting.” I would recommend reading “How Not to Diet” and “The Starch Solution.”
I am from Germany, can anyone explain to me what grits as food are? Thx!! 💕
Grits are made from dent corn, which has a softer and starchier kernel than other corn varieties. The mature kernels are processed to remove the outer hull, dried, and then ground into smaller bits.
Its like polenta 🙂
Hello to Germany! Grits are a common southern food similar to an American cereal product called cream of wheat or cream of rice only southerners may eat grits at every meal as a starch like you would use potatoes or rice.
Yes good question hi from Ireland 👋
Great video thank you Tia x I am trying to lose about 5 pounds to get back to my target weight - I have been doing this way of eating for 8 days and the scales just go up and down by a pound or 2 but I am just not loosing anything and I’m starting to feel despondent but I love this way of eating, I just need to find out where I am going wrong xx anyone reading this can you help me?
Fluctuations are normal. It happens. If you’re 5 lbs away from your goal weight it’s going to be a little harder to lose weight than normal. Ryan Adams with Natural Weight Loss Mastery is a weight loss coach and has a great ebook on “the last 10lbs.” It’s fantastic! I have a link to his channel in the description if you want to check him out.
Help ... I’m having a hard time eating mushy foods so much. 😳😳😳
Don’t eat the mushy food 😀
What was that you put on the grits? Nutritional yeast?
yes and bac"uns"
Hi . Did you lose hair when you began your plant based journey? I was doing sos plant based but hair began to fall out horribly.
No it did not. Mine has actually gotten thicker.
Tia what was your experience like the first week living on a plant base diet?
It was amazing. Felt great , was full and satisfied for the first time in my adult life and had more energy.
Did you drink coffee?
No I don’t
I grew up on a farm as a child. I became vegetarian about the same age because i couldnt eat what they butchered
I can understand that. I can’t imagine seeing or even hearing first hand what is done.
I live about an hour from New Orleans, and you are correct about the food being absolutely delicious!!! But far from healthy.
So true. Thanks for watching.
