Very inspired by your eating plan! I am also vegan and I believe that you can build a beautiful and strong body on a higher carb diet! Thank you for all you do!
You are awesome and look amazing! Best of luck in your show. it is wondreful to see such a great representative of veganism. I am sure when people find out you are vegan in day to day life that it makes them think about it!
Super awesome first video! I've also been vegan for almost 4 years but am looking to add a bit more discipline into my routine and maybe someday compete. Great job! I'm excited to see how the remainder of prep goes!
I really enjoy your first video!! Thanks for the tips on how to prep my meals!. I am definitely will be watching for those in order to have some variation on my vegan food. Love the video!!!
Me alegro tanto que hayas empezado este canal! Me gustaría cambiar mi dieta (y aprender más del fisiculturismo en general) y ver como vives me motiva y me inspira. Gracias por querer superar cualquiera inseguridad que hay que sufrir cuando uno empieza algo nuevo. No es fácil. Sé que estás ayudando muchísima gente, especialmente niñas impresionables (como mi hija), que quieren verse como tú: bonita *Y* fuerte. Hasta la próxima!
Thank you for the information and recipes Natalie! I have just started on my journey to a plant based lifestyle about a month ago. So excited to follow your bikini prep journey!!! Great first video. If you have any tips on how you made the lifestyle change, I would love to hear them on your future videos.
I love your way of eating carbs!! I am super lean year round ,although I’m not Vegan , but I believe high carbs work and low fat. Congratulations to you
I want to thank you so much for your videos beautiful I love them I wanted to start bodybuilding and competiting by next year but It kinda frustrated me because I see all these different ones from IIFYM meal prepping for people that do eat meat but never vegan prepping this means so much thank you please keep making these they’re amazing 💕💕💕💕
\I was raw vegan for 7 years, I end up having big issues with my digestive system, first ibs kicked in , now they suspecting some kind of ibd. Said so my body never looked so shredded as on plain raw vegan diet....Unfortunately now I cannot have any fruit or veggies, opr I go straight to the hospital in pain.
Hi Natalie! I really enjoyed the video and I am excited to follow your vegan prep series. I recently started working with a coach and I am 21 weeks out from my first competition. I have been experiencing many problems with digestions since beginning using my coach's Macros. I used to have the best digestion, with almost daily BMs, but for the past 3 weeks I have maybe 2 a week and they are very small and fatty. I was wondering if you have ever experienced this? I am on 75g of fat/day and I was previously consuming around 30g/day. I am going to talk to my coach about lowering my fat because I feel always bloated and like there is a brick in my stomach. Any experience with this problem? Thanks :) :) -Val
Omg I have to ask has doing a competition hurt your hormones, like periods and stuff? I find when I diet I lose my period ): do you have any tips for this or do you think being vegan has helped you
Gustavus Aldolphus So far I have never lost my period during prep. I know many friends that have lost it while in prep. I think it varies person to person. Sorry I’m not much help on this subject.
No, I am a pro in a natural drug free federation. NFF (I got tested every time I won a show with the Naturally Fit Federation). I believe in showing the power of the vegan diet and will always be natural because I don’t want to take away from that. I have nothing against people that use hormones. That’s their choice and I respect that. However it Is not my path and it takes away from my purpose and why I do what I do. As a bikini competitor, there’s no reason for me to do so. The category I do is Bikini, an ideal bikini physique is very achievable with hard work and dedication.
Also Nat, i have left 2 messages with 'CLEANMACHINE' regarding shipping to New Zealand and they have not replied which is disappointing. Do you know if they ship Internationally? Thanks!
Sonia Bass l think they recently started shipping internationally through Amazon. I will have them contact you tomorrow. Sorry about the inconvenience.
After being 2.5-year vegan I lost a lot of mussels (just realized) because of not focusing or not really carrying my daily protein. Now I just signed up OrangeTheory hope I will get back my body shape! You really inspire me!
I finally turned vegan about a month and a half ago, but I've gained fat and I get diarrhea a lot. Everybody talks about how much weight they've lost in this lifestyle. What am I doing wrong? A couple words of guidance would be appreciated ☺️
Check out Dr McDougalls book on weight loss! He has a great recipe book too that has simple and delicious meals. Whenever I gain weight it's usually because of too many fats, processed foods and sugary drinks!
not all vegan food is healthy, whole foods (unprocessed) vegan is where it's at oreos are vegan high-saturated fat vegan ice cream is vegan high-fat, high-salt vegan cheese is vegan but none of those are healthy whole grains, beans, nuts, fruits, vegetables, is where it's at
I think every vegan should have your macros! And you look amazing! Thank you for sharing your fitness and health journey with us!
Omg.... I always wanted to do a bikini competition.... but I never knew what to do when it comes to diet. Thank you for making this video
Very inspired by your eating plan! I am also vegan and I believe that you can build a beautiful and strong body on a higher carb diet! Thank you for all you do!

How many
Omg I have to ask has doing a competition hurt your hormones, like periods and stuff? I find when I diet I lose my period ): do you have any tips for this or do you think being vegan has helped you
Gustavus Aldolphus So far I have never lost my period during prep. I know many friends that have lost it while in prep. I think it varies person to person. Sorry I’m not much help on this subject.
are you taking hormones aside from diet and exercise?
No, I am a pro in a natural drug free federation. NFF (I got tested every time I won a show with the Naturally Fit Federation).
I believe in showing the power of the vegan diet and will always be natural because I don’t want to take away from that.

As a bikini competitor, there’s no reason for me to do so. The category I do is Bikini, an ideal bikini physique is very achievable with hard work and dedication.
Great inspiration. It would be great to know if you eat any snacks during the day at all? Ie an Apple/fruit etc?
I'm curious too!
Also Nat, i have left 2 messages with 'CLEANMACHINE' regarding shipping to New Zealand and they have not replied which is disappointing. Do you know if they ship Internationally? Thanks!
Sonia Bass l think they recently started shipping internationally through Amazon. I will have them contact you tomorrow. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Oh awesome! Thank you. I messaged them through insta private message so not sure what went on. :)
Sonia Bass They got back to me! So we do offer International shipping. Through "Market Place Valet" on Amazon.com

YAAAAAS. Finally what I was looking for!! 🙌 Thank you for being on RUclips and sharing your process.
So glad I found you! 🙌 All these other bikini body nutrition recommendations aren't vegan 😒
Great first vid👍All the recipes look so delicious!!

I finally turned vegan about a month and a half ago, but I've gained fat and I get diarrhea a lot. Everybody talks about how much weight they've lost in this lifestyle. What am I doing wrong? A couple words of guidance would be appreciated ☺️
Copykitty donuts are not vegan
Keep your fat & sodium intake very LOW. You will notice a dramatic weight loss from doing so.
Check out Dr McDougalls book on weight loss! He has a great recipe book too that has simple and delicious meals. Whenever I gain weight it's usually because of too many fats, processed foods and sugary drinks!
What are you eating? Give a sample day.
not all vegan food is healthy,
whole foods (unprocessed) vegan is where it's at
oreos are vegan
high-saturated fat vegan ice cream is vegan
high-fat, high-salt vegan cheese is vegan
but none of those are healthy
whole grains, beans, nuts, fruits, vegetables, is where it's at
how many grams of veggies and of carbs in one meal?
Wonderful channel!! I'm curious what your macros are & how you came up with them :)
Trixie Rose Thank you! Great question. I will answer this in my next Q & A video. Stay tuned❤️
You are so inspiring! I'm thrilled that I discovered your channel. Have a great day!
