Whenever I feel like I'm getting off track I come to binge watch your videos. I love them. Thank you so much for being my go to for keeping me motivated. ❤️
I come here often to binge your videos. I've never had any 'problems' hearing you. Your magnetic personality keeps me coming back again and again. I can't tell you the level of excitement I have when I get the notification that you've uploaded a video. When I miss you, I come back to your channel and re-watch ☺ You keep me SANE! Thank you for sharing so much of your life! It's VERY much appreciated 😁
I love how openly you talk about your progress and changes. I also love Dr. McDougall and really trust in his program but I lost weight even though I still ate tofu, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, flaxseeds, some almond butter, coconut milk or even cashews and walnuts. I didn’t had a lot of fats everyday, but I still ate them and I lost the weight just fine. I think, especially us women can profit from some healthy plant fats for our hormonal health. Love your videos! 💕💪🏻
Exactly, that's why I also follow Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Greger! High nutrient dense foods + healthy fat are SUPER important! Ultra Low Fat vegans risk dementia later in life according to several studies. Also, healthy fats improve the bioavailability of the amazing Phytonutrients/Antioxidants in the awesome plant based foods we eat, in addition to the phytonutrients in the nuts/seeds themselves. Example- The Lignans in Flaxseeds are highly anti cancer, especially against breast cancer! I appreciate McDougall's take, but a well balanced approach with "Nutritarian" in mind, is key!
I never had any problem with your audio 🙂 also, who cares what you wear? Sheesh people...be thankful for all the great content. Thanks again for another great video.
I really enjoy and have appreciated Kiki’s videos, first because she seems very genuine and down to earth unlike some of the tubers who are all about their shameless product promotions and secondly her information and way of eating is very sustainable! I love the starch solution and Dr. McDougall 👍🏻❤️
I can’t say enough about this video, I love it!! I just hit my 15lb weight loss today (26 more to go). I’m similar to you where I find things to eat and eat them for weeks on end. I’ve been looking for different ideas and I love everything you have shown. You’re adorable! Thank you ❤️
You are reading all the right books. Have them all myself and are life changing. 4 years vegan, WFPB predominantly. 65 and feel healthier than I can ever remember. Absolutely no health issues now. The best thing was the weight loss (15kilo) and osteoarthritis gone completely.
Ok - I am thoroughly motivated! Nothing like leading by example, you and your family are the picture of health and well being. I have completely binged (on your channel)😜 and enjoyed every sneaky taste test of your daughters, zoomies of Nacho (when he runs around the house wildly), admiration of your husband and infectious smile of your son’s. These videos are colorful, beautiful, well made and inspire me completely. Looking forward to more videos on your channel. The sweet potato waffles is a stroke of brilliance. 🤟🏻 thank you for being your best self and sharing your knowledge and gifts with the world.
I love your videos. Your sound has always been perfect for me! And you do wear lots of beautiful off the shoulder shirts because you can!!! You are so beautiful, your videos are very calming in your beautiful home. So peaceful. And the pictures of food, preparations, you don’t waste time, get right to the point are awesome. Love your books and the pictures. Keep up the good work. It’s cute to see the kids grabbing food, or helping cook, hubby and dog as we all have working homes! Right?! It’s real! Down to earth!
Kiki the audio is on point!!! Please live till 104 and absolutely continue wearing your off the shoulder tops!!! Show your beauty, proud to be Latina!! If this makes someone else miserable and see you this happy and so down to earth let them deal with it, continue to be YOU!!!!!
I have never noticed any problem with your audio at all. But what a fun new tool. You would never know you struggle with technology either. You do a fantastic job. Thanks for all you have done not just for whole food plant based eaters but also for those of us who have more of a struggle to get the weight off.
Loved How Not to Die! The app- Daily Dozen- helped me stay accountable when first starting. Thanks for sharing your continued learning and small shifts that better your health even more☺
I absolutely love these doctors, they’ve help my health issues, and keep me young 💕 thank you for making awesome, informative, funny videos!! Keep up the fabulous work girl!!!!
I love your simplicity, your realism, your husband's a charm, your children are so cute-beautiful spirits,and I love that your meals are simple and quick fixes! I also love your off shoulder tops. The additiions and tweeks work!
Kiki, Please stop saying, your sexy off the shoulder tops are Latina! It is Not!!! My mom & her sister's Never wore something Like that & Sorry but had names to discribe Those who did. It is Not considered modest dressing for a woman & most husbands would not Approve! I know Alot of Latina woman & they feel the same. I really like you Alot!!! And appreciate what you do to for all of us who look for a healthy Way to lose weight! I am not good with words but I Really needed to set you straight about off the Shoulder & low cut dresses is ok & part of A Latina way of dressing, it is Not!!! And I am sorry you received that teaching Because at 77yrs old I Have heard how men talk & look at women who do. I hope this is informative & not speaking down to you. You are Very sweet & kind & it hurts me to hear you talk about it being ok because of your heritage!!! Please! Forgive me if Anything I said up set you. It was not my intention only to inform & correct your statement.
@@pilgrimcarolee7294 way to be a judge Judy. Shes gorgeous and what you're saying reaks of jealousy. It's not 1950 anymore, and thank god the world has progressed to where woman can dress how they want. So happy this old fashioned sexist thinking is o longer a thing in ANY community.
@@pilgrimcarolee7294 let this grown woman live her life. If you don't have the confidence to wear it ...so be it. But actually someone needs to put you in check. If you don't have something nice to say don't say nothing
Love your channel. The info, delivery and personality keep me coming back. I wish viewers that don’t like something in a video would just move on rather than wasting everyone’s time making “helpful” comments. Too much to see and learn on channels one enjoys watching.
So cute!! I always cook my beans with a piece of Kombu and that cuts down on the gas (Macrobiotic tip) as well as not use the water the beans are cooked in but fresh water if I’m blending them up
You are adorable and worked really hard to lose weight and you are not self-absorbed in any way or egotistical in any way. It's refreshing. So don't listen to the haters that tell you that you always wear off-the-shoulder-tops. Wear what you like. The haters are always going to be out there hatin on people because they're miserable. You go girl!

You don’t need that mike; I never had problem with your video’s sound quality. I found your channel a couple months ago along with Hannah’s but have been watching mainly yours because I am so hooked on the practical and to-the-point info. you provide in almost every episode I’ve randomly watched. And your recipes look so refreshingly different. Not to mention you are gorgeous and funny to watch! Thank you for sharing and keep up the great job!
“I’m Latina and we like our off-the-shoulder tops..” 🤷🏻♀️ As a Latina myself, I can second that statement... I have at least three. Off the shoulder tops with our long dark hair just kinda go together! 😉 Not to mention, if you have nice shoulders like Kiki, why not show them off?!
The pot pie recipe is phenomenal! I added kale in with the peas and corn. A little less water and added the mushrooms early on, allowing them to release the extra moisture. Added a boatload of oregano and some sage. Very, very- very, very good. A new go to in our house. Thank you for taking the time to share. 🙂
I wish I could like this 100 times! So great to see you reading up on other fantastic plant based doctors! Also great to see same product choices in your kitchen and mine... makes me feel like I making good decisions based on my own research and label reading. Just love your channel -- great video ❤️
That is such a bummer people have the audacity to write you and complain about what you choose to put on your body after all you've done a wonderful job at taking care of yourself personally I would like to thank you. I appreciate you sharing your journey publicly thank you so much!! Honey you're fabulous!!! Thank you for the tasty recipes.
Such fun and realistic... simple recipes....one of the things that intimidated me about eating well is...the complexity in ingredients...so i love this
This video just randomly showed up on my RUclips feed and I couldn’t be happier that it did. Ive never heard of you or you’re channel until now. :) I’ve recently decided to try changing over to a plant-based diet and I’m a bit overwhelmed by it all. This was a great video and I’m now a subscriber. I’m looking forward to digging into more videos and learning some yummy recipes! I’m totally a monotonous eater too (with breakfast and lunch at least). This will be good!
just found your channel.obsessed.i switched to a vegetarian diet about a month and a half ago and im trying to find more foods to make. I also read "How not to die" and it changed my idea of food and helped me make changes.
I just want to thank you for sparkingjoy again for me. I love your videos. I've been plantbased but overweight for a long time. I overeat. Im always hungry but not really hungry, it's in my mind. I've managed to keep the worst weight off. I used to be 245 now Im 200 lb ,I'm 5'9".I'm 36 yo. I quit eating dairy and meat for animals 6 yrs ago and I found out my kidney stones went away! So I went totally plant based for health. My husband cured his rosacea, cholesterol, chest pains, headaches. We love experimenting with thai and indian cuisines. World of flavor opened up to us. But I was burned out on overeating and gaining a few pounds then restricting to lose. I'm hopeful this mc Dougall plan will fix my weight. I love cabbage but never tried it steamed. It was amazing. I didnt even need salt on it. How did I miss this?! Im polish american. I love cabbage. My husband's and mine, first meal together was golabki which is rice and chopped carrots and meat- nowadays lentils, wrapped in cabbage leaves and baked in marinara). This is a new take on cabbage and I could eat this 3 times a day. Wow!
This is a bit off topic but I would love to see a tour of your beautiful home! Love your sweet, funny personality! You have some of the most helpful WFPB videos on YT! Thank you!!!
I can not believe I am making a choice because I LOVE them all, but this video was my favorite! From beginning to end, it was brilliant!! Thank you so much for all you do for us. You are gorgeous inside and out. The hubby quick commentary... hysterical!!
You are adorable! I have been on a plant based diet for four years but I haven’t been consistent. I’m diving back in wholeheartedly because I want to be my healthiest. I love to cook but have found myself less than inspired lately. I look forward to some ideas from you! Thank you!
Enjoyed this! 🍇. I like how you go into the doctors perspectives. Nuts 🥜 definitely put the weight on me. I still eat them 😝. Just not every day. I buy them in portioned packs.
Yes, get used to it! I’m so glad you said that and please don’t waste your time on people who would bother to call such a thing out. You look cute in whatever you wear so keep doing you. I am new to your channel. I have learned so much already and am on my own weight loss journey. Don’t let the critics deter you for one minute!
Another read you may really enjoy is Dr. T.Colin Campbell's The China Study and Whole,both GREAT books and on the same page as the authors you mentioned.Greens and beans rule!! Enjoy.
Kiki, you are absolutely beautiful and charming! You say you are tech challenged but all your videos are done so tastefully and your photography of the meals you make look like gourmet! Thank you for sharing so much of your life and of what you have learned and live by. I have been vegan over 8 years and started my journey exactly by the ‘rules’ you have learned. I had lost weight and felt great. But somehow i had gotten off track the past few years eating foods that i shouldn’t have and started gaining weight. You have inspired me to get back on track and reminded me of just how simple and delicious eating right can be. I got back on track last November and have lost 12 lbs. and i feel so much better! Thank you for being such wonderful inspiration! Hugs to you, Robin
You have inspired me to try once again! I keep failing on this plant based dieting thing but you make me want to keep trying. Thank you! I have 60 pounds to lose and Im so scared that I wont be able to do this. I have many health issues but I love junk food so much that finding whole foods tasty and satisfying is really hard for me. Im just so addicted to the fat and junk. But I really need to heal my body so Im trying again!! I guess i will have to just push through with eating things i dont love until i do love them! Also, I love how comfortable you seem to have become on your channel more recently! Your humor and awesome personality are shining through! You have quickly become my favorite plant based youtuber!!
awwww thank you so very much!! and you can totally get to where you like the foods that are good to you its just about eating them repeatedly. be kind to yourself and remember its not about perfection, just keep heading in the right direction and you will get there....best wishes!
Bad habits are hard to break and it takes about 3 months to develop new habits. So keep trying and when it gets tough and you really want those cookies or chips ask yourself how am I going to feel after? If it’s possible don’t buy them and have fruits or cut up veggies always ready to avoid eating the junk food. Be kind to yourself and be patient, you will get there!
Enjoyed this video new to the channel, crazy how the viewers comment on things that are really not a concern or their business. She is showing us how to be healthy and eat not giving us a fashion recommendation lol. I appreciate the time you spent making this video for us. Thanks Again.
Love your channel, you were one of the first one's I found when trying to get started following Dr. McDougal and the other's you mentioned. I love that you are down to earth and everything is very easy to follow. Thank you for all your hard work. You rock!
@@PlantifulKiki Hi Kiki, I also find yours is THE best youtube channel. I just adore the way it sounds like you're talking directly to me! You are a beautiful girl inside and out as others have said. I happened to see this particular video on my t.v. Yesterday and didn't realize it was just put up the same day. Love and Angels from a Scottish lady living in England. xxx
As a female with an underactive thyroid, i have tended to avoid nuts and seeds but you can’t really make a decent salad dressing without some source of fat. Love the videos, btw, never had a problem with the sound quality.
The one I use and love that is oil/fat free is the 3-2-1 Dressing: 3 parts/tbsp Balsamic, 2 parts dijon mustard and 1 part maple syrup. I also like to do dijon and maple syrup to taste with a splash of water.
I love balsamic vinegar , tahini, or hummus as my simplest dressings or as the base of my dressings. California Balsamic has an insane number of different vinegars, including sweet fruit flavors. I was a dressing fanatic and I am perfectly satisfied.

Great video! Thank you for sharing all the plant based eating information/tips. You can see how well you and your family are thriving eating this way. Blessings
Unfortunately you’re going to get some trolly people who talk about petty stuff on here. The whole point of your channel is to promote health LOL. I think it’s funny when people point out things that don’t matter. You are absolutely beautiful and glowing and I love your sense of fashion. You’re very relaxed and down to earth. I also love how you are so organized with the way that you pack your food. I think I need to start getting more mason jars to pack things so that we can visibly see it in the refrigerator. I feel like things get lost in our refrigerator sometimes and then we forget about it and it goes bad. If it was in a jar it would probably be better. Thank you for always being real.
I enjoy supporting the RUclipsrs that provide content that is helpful and entertaining. I ordered the masala, a book and ordered the peach vinegar. I mentioned you in the comment box when I ordered the vinegar. Why are people so petty that they have to complain about what you wear? You always look beautiful and put together. Wear what you feel best in.
Kiki, have you ever tried chopping your salads? I recently started doing that and it makes any salad so much more delicious and easy to eat. I bought a mezzaluna to chop them but lately have just been pulsing my salads in my food processor (in batches) and it works great! Thanks for your beautiful channel!! :)
@@PlantifulKiki If you go to Nutmeg Notebook on youtube, they have a whole video about their chopped salads. Also, Chef AJ is into chopped salads and they are right . . . they are a game changer!! :)
I do kale, half a pack of cilantro cuz it's super cleansing (heavy metals etc) frozen apple chunks for sweetness, soaked prunes, cinnamon and walnuts. That'll hold ya :)
I just found you! You’re so encouraging , I put the books you suggested on library hold. Am I too bold to ask what your “health issues” were? Peace an blessings!
Hi Kiki - when you mentioned farting after eating legumes; what I do to eliminate or maybe reduce the winds is add about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of "asafoetida" while cooking legumes. I also add to my beans, whether it be black, chickpeas or navy beans. Being an Indian decent my mom has always added that when we cook Dhal. You can purchase it at Amazon. I get mine from the local Indian store. Love your channel...I too have changed my diet to Plant base after watching your youtube videos along with Pickuplimes.
Am I the only person that has noticed farts and poop no longer smell as bad when you switch to a plant based diet? I’ve been on a plant based diet for 19 days now and i love it!
Lol you're 10000% correct! I have been plant based for about 4 years now and after reading and trying to figure out why that is I came to find out it's because your body no longer has a dead carcass it's trying to digest as gross as that sounds 😫 Stay consistent and listen to your body when you eat. Intuitive eating is super important in the beginning stages of being plant based. You got this!! 🌱🌿
Kiki I love to see how your Chanel is growing and I’m so exited for your new microphone, thank you for all the new recepies I loveeee them and your off the shoulder tops are super nice, I agree is a Latina thing ;) te mando muchísimo amor desde mexico dios te bendiga
I had heart palpitations, went to my doctor she gave me a video on Forks over knives, watched it and it changed my life. My doctor said no more cooking with oils, eating avocados or eating nuts! Lost the weight and no more palpitations. Be careful on going back on nuts. I started to bring back nuts in because of reading Joel fuhrman book and the weight started to come back on, along with heart palpitations.
Oh my gosh I have heart palpitations too! My doctor just said cut out meat and dairy but I already did that years ago as a vegan. Now I’m halfway there I just need to cut out oils for my health now 🥒🌱
According to Dr McDougall 1 C of legumes a day is enough, otherwise the protein load might be too much for the kidneys. You look lovely and it's great that you are so straightforward. Your house is so beautiful! I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for inspiring us all!
My dad had kidney failure so I did a fair amount of reading and as it turns out plant-based protein does not have any ill affect on the kidneys. You can pretty much eat as much as you want.
You look absolutely gorgeous in your off the shoulder tops. Remain true to you ... Love your style. On a side note, Dr Fuhrman has saved many lives and is respected. He has supplements but you know from reading his book that he doesn't push them. There was one particular person on RUclips that has a great dislike for him and tried to CONTINUOUSLY drag his name through the mud. It was DISGRACEFUL. That is all I have to say on this. Yes, he does not promote starches like Dr MacDougall but take the best from all the plant based Dr's and go with what works best for you. Big hugs!
Anna N , I agree with you about Dr. Fuhrman. I have learned so much from reading his books and listening to him speak, both on tv and in person. I don’t feel like he pushes his supplements but instead, I feel like he sells certain ones because he knows that there are a lot of useless ones out there with synthetic ingredients that will do more harm than good. A great example of that would be folic acid which is the synthetic form. He has always recommended looking for supplements with folate instead. He is extremely knowledgeable about diet, nutrients etc and I always look to him and of course my other favorites, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Barnard, Dr. Greger and Dr. McDougall. There is so much to learn and I am so thankful for all of them.
I know exactly what you're talking about with that doctor/nutrition drama, I was shocked. I subbed here bc I LOVE the Eat to Live books and promote the same eating! Don't see too many channels that recommend actual nutritionists diets. Awesome.
Absolutely loved this video, I love all your videos but really enjoyed this one. Just so natural. Glad you’re investing in equipment not because I have ever thought there was an issue but because it means you’re sticking around. 🙏 love you love your work.
Love your videos!! Don't let the critics get you down! I'm so thankful you are sharing your life! I don't care what the "sound quality" is like. Yes, it is now better but I didn't care before, I was too busy absorbing all of the information you kindly share. Also, I love your tops. Wear what ever you want!! Thank you!!
This whole video was a blast! I love seeing your personality come out and hearing your adorable laugh. Your husband is most assuredly a keeper. Your recipes are amazing. I can’t wait for your next video.

I did notice the sound was different,it sounds really professional, I love watching your new videos and find you so inspirational. I've been Following you for about four months and Dr McDougall's health plans and I feel so much healthier. I haven’t been back to the Doctors due to Covid 19 but I am sure my health has improved and my weight has gone down because of this healthy plant based eating. As I had many of the health problems that you suffered with too. Keep doing what you are doing,I love it! As for negative people,have you heard the saying ‘if you don’t have anything nice to say,don’t say anything at all.’
Your audio was very good, and just so you know, even before the new mic, I thought your audio was good. Your off shoulder blouses are beautiful on you. If you've got beautiful shoulders, as you do, I say celebrate them, and show them off! Loved your video today!
I am a 60 yrs old lady.. that follows you and I enjoys your videos. I always forward your videos to my daughter . Continued success!! Much blessings to you always 🙏💕
I love Dr McDougall but the problem that I was having was .....even though I lost weight... I would wake up in the middle of the night RAVENOUS!!!. When I included some healthy fats I wouldn’t wake up in the middle of the night anymore.
That appears to be good advice you followed re adding healthy fats. I am listening to the audiobook by Mark Hyman MD 'Eat Fat, Get Thin.' Although he no longer advocates a solely plant based diet, he noted that there are high fat, plant based recommendations supported by doctors.
If you read from McDougall, dr Esselstyn veg source, dr mc Greger all say Furhman lied in his Science. Also, no nuts for heart patients. Furhman’s diet is very difficult to stay on due to the lack of starches.
I especially admire your candor in this video. I so appreciate it when someone learns more about health and the wfpb diet, and they are not afraid to make adjustments and see how your body reacts to it. Some people will ignore nutritional research, and in the long run that can lead to complications (like some vegans who refuse to take B-12). After all, weight loss/achieving your ideal healthy weight is an important part of health, but like Dr Fuhrman says, we should be eating for health and longevity, not just weight loss. I also am a nutritional research nerd (lol!) and LOVE all the plant based docs (Fuhrman, Barnard, Klaper, Greger, Esselstyn, McDougall, Ornish, Katz, and Campbell). FYI, I was listening to Dr Klaper speak and he said that if someone is struggling to lose weight, they can still eat an ounce of nuts/seeds a day, but try to have it with their salads (or in a nut-based dressing) and keep it 2-3 hours away from when they eat their whole starches/intact grains. He says this is because when we consume a starch and a fat together, the body will burn the starch for energy and store the fat, but if weight loss is not an issue, then he says it doesn't matter and you can eat them together. I also do GREAT with 1 oz of nuts & seeds/day, a TBSP of ground flax, and sometimes ¼ avocado. BTW, I love your off-the-shoulder tops or when you wear your sweaters off shoulder...everyone should show their personal style and have fun with it! YOU DO YOU, GIRL! You're beautiful! xo
I've read Dr Furman and tried to follow him on RUclips. I found him to be aggressive in promoting his brand . He said some bogus misinformation about other Plant based DRs. However the one tip of his that I follow is his approach to having a big salad for a meal. I like that he encourages including more raw veggies and fruit daily.
Thank you so much for sharing such great info! BTW, your comment about Dr. Gregor's book, How Not to Die - I so wanted to read it, but I also found it difficult to get through. You might want to suggest that people get the audiobook instead - Dr. Gregor is so much fun to listen to! His enthusiasm for the information he shares is so infectious and very enjoyable.
Hi Kiki, your audio is fine, never had a problem, and the tops are so you, you are a natural, stay as sweet as you are !! You look great every time. Love to watch you . Thank you for great ideas. Oh I also love nacho.
Another youtuber said that if you get gas from beans, that means you need more in your diet. I eat a lot of beans, and did notice gas in the beginning, but I think she is right. love your content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. XOXO
Whenever I feel like I'm getting off track I come to binge watch your videos. I love them. Thank you so much for being my go to for keeping me motivated. ❤️

You rock the off the shoulder tops so keep up your classic fashion sense! Luv you Kiki& your tenacity!
Thank you! Will do!

thank you!!
I have never noticed any problem with your audio at all. But what a fun new tool. You would never know you struggle with technology either. You do a fantastic job. Thanks for all you have done not just for whole food plant based eaters but also for those of us who have more of a struggle to get the weight off.
awww thank you! im so glad you find my content helpful:)
Loved How Not to Die! The app- Daily Dozen- helped me stay accountable when first starting. Thanks for sharing your continued learning and small shifts that better your health even more☺
Can we talk about how KIKI's house is Pintrest Goals!!!
It’s stunning. Someday🤞
I absolutely love these doctors, they’ve help my health issues, and keep me young 💕 thank you for making awesome, informative, funny videos!! Keep up the fabulous work girl!!!!

I also love your off shoulder tops.
The additiions and tweeks work!
I almost cracked up when ur husband came in to comment.. he was so sweet.. he is a keeper!
lol! he has great timing !
Kiki, Please stop saying, your sexy off the shoulder tops are
Latina! It is Not!!! My mom & her sister's Never wore something
Like that & Sorry but had names to discribe
Those who did. It is Not considered modest dressing for a woman & most husbands would not
Approve! I know Alot of Latina woman & they feel the same.
I really like you Alot!!! And appreciate what you do to for all of us who look for a healthy
Way to lose weight!
I am not good with words but I Really needed to set you straight about off the
Shoulder & low cut dresses is ok & part of
A Latina way of dressing, it is Not!!! And I am sorry you received that teaching
Because at 77yrs old I
Have heard how men talk & look at women who do.
I hope this is informative & not speaking down to you.
You are Very sweet & kind & it hurts me to hear you talk about it being ok because of your heritage!!! Please!
Forgive me if Anything
I said up set you. It was not my intention only to inform & correct your statement.
How much do you weigh now ?
@@pilgrimcarolee7294 way to be a judge Judy. Shes gorgeous and what you're saying reaks of jealousy. It's not 1950 anymore, and thank god the world has progressed to where woman can dress how they want. So happy this old fashioned sexist thinking is o longer a thing in ANY community.
@@pilgrimcarolee7294 let this grown woman live her life. If you don't have the confidence to wear it ...so be it. But actually someone needs to put you in check. If you don't have something nice to say don't say nothing
Love your channel. The info, delivery and personality keep me coming back. I wish viewers that don’t like something in a video would just move on rather than wasting everyone’s time making “helpful” comments. Too much to see and learn on channels one enjoys watching.
So cute!! I always cook my beans with a piece of Kombu and that cuts down on the gas (Macrobiotic tip) as well as not use the water the beans are cooked in but fresh water if I’m blending them up
What is kombu? I love beans , but some make me gassy 😂
I went and do some research on kombu🤗it help you digest the beans . I will be getting me some because I love beans😍
Roxanne McIntosh kombu is found in most Asian aisles of the supermarket. I usually use a 1-2” strip while I’m cooking.
I have never heard of kombu, can you explain? great tip!
You are adorable and worked really hard to lose weight and you are not self-absorbed in any way or egotistical in any way. It's refreshing. So don't listen to the haters that tell you that you always wear off-the-shoulder-tops. Wear what you like. The haters are always going to be out there hatin on people because they're miserable. You go girl!
I think your videos are perfect! Sound, editing, content, everything is great. I really look forward to each one so keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!

You don’t need that mike; I never had problem with your video’s sound quality. I found your channel a couple months ago along with Hannah’s but have been watching mainly yours because I am so hooked on the practical and to-the-point info. you provide in almost every episode I’ve randomly watched. And your recipes look so refreshingly different. Not to mention you are gorgeous and funny to watch! Thank you for sharing and keep up the great job!
“I’m Latina and we like our off-the-shoulder tops..” 🤷🏻♀️ As a Latina myself, I can second that statement... I have at least three. Off the shoulder tops with our long dark hair just kinda go together! 😉 Not to mention, if you have nice shoulders like Kiki, why not show them off?!
The pot pie recipe is phenomenal! I added kale in with the peas and corn. A little less water and added the mushrooms early on, allowing them to release the extra moisture. Added a boatload of oregano and some sage. Very, very- very, very good. A new go to in our house. Thank you for taking the time to share. 🙂
I wish I could like this 100 times! So great to see you reading up on other fantastic plant based doctors! Also great to see same product choices in your kitchen and mine... makes me feel like I making good decisions based on my own research and label reading. Just love your channel -- great video ❤️
I’ve never have issue with audio. I played you maximum weight loss playlist every night because I find your voice soothing and helps me relax
I've never had an issue with the sound In your videos. And your wardrobe is always lovely. ❤️
thank you!
@@PlantifulKiki I love your wardrobe, too. Where do you get your clothing? So pretty.
Agree! The sound was good to me.
That is such a bummer people have the audacity to write you and complain about what you choose to put on your body after all you've done a wonderful job at taking care of yourself personally I would like to thank you. I appreciate you sharing your journey publicly thank you so much!! Honey you're fabulous!!! Thank you for the tasty recipes.
I love off the shoulder tops too! So flattering and pretty.
The best!
Such fun and realistic... simple recipes....one of the things that intimidated me about eating well is...the complexity in ingredients...so i love this
This video just randomly showed up on my RUclips feed and I couldn’t be happier that it did. Ive never heard of you or you’re channel until now. :) I’ve recently decided to try changing over to a plant-based diet and I’m a bit overwhelmed by it all. This was a great video and I’m now a subscriber. I’m looking forward to digging into more videos and learning some yummy recipes! I’m totally a monotonous eater too (with breakfast and lunch at least). This will be good!
just found your channel.obsessed.i switched to a vegetarian diet about a month and a half ago and im trying to find more foods to make. I also read "How not to die" and it changed my idea of food and helped me make changes.
Yay!!!!one of my absolute favourite you tubers, so beautiful inside and out, friday just got even better!😁😍💗🦋
aww thank you!
I just want to thank you for sparkingjoy again for me. I love your videos. I've been plantbased but overweight for a long time. I overeat. Im always hungry but not really hungry, it's in my mind. I've managed to keep the worst weight off. I used to be 245 now Im 200 lb ,I'm 5'9".I'm 36 yo. I quit eating dairy and meat for animals 6 yrs ago and I found out my kidney stones went away! So I went totally plant based for health. My husband cured his rosacea, cholesterol, chest pains, headaches. We love experimenting with thai and indian cuisines. World of flavor opened up to us. But I was burned out on overeating and gaining a few pounds then restricting to lose. I'm hopeful this mc Dougall plan will fix my weight. I love cabbage but never tried it steamed. It was amazing. I didnt even need salt on it. How did I miss this?! Im polish american. I love cabbage. My husband's and mine, first meal together was golabki which is rice and chopped carrots and meat- nowadays lentils, wrapped in cabbage leaves and baked in marinara). This is a new take on cabbage and I could eat this 3 times a day. Wow!
This is a bit off topic but I would love to see a tour of your beautiful home! Love your sweet, funny personality! You have some of the most helpful WFPB videos on YT! Thank you!!!
Thank you! I will totally get to a house tour soon
I think she did do one if you search her channel it should pop up
Ditto! And how she keeps it so neat and clean, esp the kitchen!
...original comment just seems creepy....🤨
@@PlantifulKiki Agreed- would love a house tour!!
I can not believe I am making a choice because I LOVE them all, but this video was my favorite! From beginning to end, it was brilliant!! Thank you so much for all you do for us. You are gorgeous inside and out. The hubby quick commentary... hysterical!!
lol thank you so much! my husbands timing couldn't have been better lol!
Great video. Good info. I admire all those doctors and have read their books over the years. You and your husband are so cute!
haha thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you. I am new at plant based food and you have helped me find so many new things to eat. Thank you l.
Love your hair bun at the end!
Also, I've never noticed any sound issues before, but congrats on the new equipment :)
I love that you add recipe amounts in the info with your video so if I want to try I don’t have to keep watching over and pausing.... so helpful!
"Yo maybe you should cut back on the beans" "No im gonna live to be 104" lol Kiki you crack me up! 🤣🤣🤣
You are adorable! I have been on a plant based diet for four years but I haven’t been consistent. I’m diving back in wholeheartedly because I want to be my healthiest. I love to cook but have found myself less than inspired lately. I look forward to some ideas from you! Thank you!
Enjoyed this! 🍇. I like how you go into the doctors perspectives. Nuts 🥜 definitely put the weight on me. I still eat them 😝. Just not every day. I buy them in portioned packs.
Yes, get used to it! I’m so glad you said that and please don’t waste your time on people who would bother to call such a thing out. You look cute in whatever you wear so keep doing you. I am new to your channel. I have learned so much already and am on my own weight loss journey. Don’t let the critics deter you for one minute!
I ordered the Dr. McDougall book. Thank the for the recommendation. I’m going to be loosing weight soon
New member of Plant based...Your personality and video is simply excellent. Thank you.. From Puerto Rico. Big hugs!
Another read you may really enjoy is Dr. T.Colin Campbell's The China Study and Whole,both GREAT books and on the same page as the authors you mentioned.Greens and beans rule!! Enjoy.
yes ive been wanting to read that one! I'll check it out!
Ground flax seed absorbs fluid and swells, helps with satiety. Your skin is amazing
I've watched pretty much all of your videos & I've never had an issue hearing you at all.
I need to lose weight & want to feel better. Excited that you are eating actual good food & not restricting. Gives me hope 💕
I think you are my favorite low fat vegan right now!! Thank you for these videos and delicious recipes!
awwww thank you!
Kiki, you are absolutely beautiful and charming! You say you are tech challenged but all your videos are done so tastefully and your photography of the meals you make look like gourmet! Thank you for sharing so much of your life and of what you have learned and live by. I have been vegan over 8 years and started my journey exactly by the ‘rules’ you have learned. I had lost weight and felt great. But somehow i had gotten off track the past few years eating foods that i shouldn’t have and started gaining weight. You have inspired me to get back on track and reminded me of just how simple and delicious eating right can be. I got back on track last November and have lost 12 lbs. and i feel so much better! Thank you for being such wonderful inspiration! Hugs to you, Robin
thank you so much!! you are doing amazing and im so happy you are feeling so good!
You have inspired me to try once again! I keep failing on this plant based dieting thing but you make me want to keep trying. Thank you! I have 60 pounds to lose and Im so scared that I wont be able to do this. I have many health issues but I love junk food so much that finding whole foods tasty and satisfying is really hard for me. Im just so addicted to the fat and junk. But I really need to heal my body so Im trying again!! I guess i will have to just push through with eating things i dont love until i do love them! Also, I love how comfortable you seem to have become on your channel more recently! Your humor and awesome personality are shining through! You have quickly become my favorite plant based youtuber!!
awwww thank you so very much!! and you can totally get to where you like the foods that are good to you its just about eating them repeatedly. be kind to yourself and remember its not about perfection, just keep heading in the right direction and you will get there....best wishes!
It’s not your fault it’s the foods fault. They created to keep you addicted. If it’s in your house then it’s in your mouth. You can do it!
@@inspiteofbecauseof4745 -agree totally.
Thanks for the encouragement guys! I had a successful day today! :)
Bad habits are hard to break and it takes about 3 months to develop new habits. So keep trying and when it gets tough and you really want those cookies or chips ask yourself how am I going to feel after? If it’s possible don’t buy them and have fruits or cut up veggies always ready to avoid eating the junk food. Be kind to yourself and be patient, you will get there!
Enjoyed this video new to the channel, crazy how the viewers comment on things that are really not a concern or their business. She is showing us how to be healthy and eat not giving us a fashion recommendation lol. I appreciate the time you spent making this video for us. Thanks Again.
Love your channel, you were one of the first one's I found when trying to get started following Dr. McDougal and the other's you mentioned. I love that you are down to earth and everything is very easy to follow. Thank you for all your hard work. You rock!
thank you !! im so glad you found me and that my content is helpful!
@@PlantifulKiki Hi Kiki, I also find yours is THE best youtube channel. I just adore the way it sounds like you're talking directly to me! You are a beautiful girl inside and out as others have said. I happened to see this particular video on my t.v. Yesterday and didn't realize it was just put up the same day. Love and Angels from a Scottish lady living in England. xxx
You wear them because they look good on you! Keep being you, Kiki.
As a female with an underactive thyroid, i have tended to avoid nuts and seeds but you can’t really make a decent salad dressing without some source of fat. Love the videos, btw, never had a problem with the sound quality.
The one I use and love that is oil/fat free is the 3-2-1 Dressing: 3 parts/tbsp Balsamic, 2 parts dijon mustard and 1 part maple syrup. I also like to do dijon and maple syrup to taste with a splash of water.
I love balsamic vinegar , tahini, or hummus as my simplest dressings or as the base of my dressings. California Balsamic has an insane number of different vinegars, including sweet fruit flavors. I was a dressing fanatic and I am perfectly satisfied.
monkeygirl000 wow, thanks for that! I had never even heard of white balsamic vinegar. I must start looking for it here in the UK.

Great video! Thank you for sharing all the plant based eating information/tips. You can see how well you and your family are thriving eating this way. Blessings
Thank you so much!
Unfortunately you’re going to get some trolly people who talk about petty stuff on here. The whole point of your channel is to promote health LOL. I think it’s funny when people point out things that don’t matter. You are absolutely beautiful and glowing and I love your sense of fashion. You’re very relaxed and down to earth. I also love how you are so organized with the way that you pack your food. I think I need to start getting more mason jars to pack things so that we can visibly see it in the refrigerator. I feel like things get lost in our refrigerator sometimes and then we forget about it and it goes bad. If it was in a jar it would probably be better. Thank you for always being real.
I enjoy supporting the RUclipsrs that provide content that is helpful and entertaining. I ordered the masala, a book and ordered the peach vinegar. I mentioned you in the comment box when I ordered the vinegar. Why are people so petty that they have to complain about what you wear? You always look beautiful and put together. Wear what you feel best in.
Awesome! Thank you! I still need to contact that vinegar company and see if I can get you guys a discount...and thank you so much :)
Kiki, have you ever tried chopping your salads? I recently started doing that and it makes any salad so much more delicious and easy to eat. I bought a mezzaluna to chop them but lately have just been pulsing my salads in my food processor (in batches) and it works great! Thanks for your beautiful channel!! :)
oooh no ive not tried that, thanx for the tip!
@@PlantifulKiki If you go to Nutmeg Notebook on youtube, they have a whole video about their chopped salads. Also, Chef AJ is into chopped salads and they are right . . . they are a game changer!! :)
Yes! Kiki, check out nutmeg notebook! She has videos on chopped salads and chopped Mexican salad! Really a game changer for getting greens in!!
I do kale, half a pack of cilantro cuz it's super cleansing (heavy metals etc) frozen apple chunks for sweetness, soaked prunes, cinnamon and walnuts. That'll hold ya :)
I also love the Mason jar toppings idea.
Yes, sound is better, not so quiet. Congrats on improving technical abilities, and thank you for sharing. I've been enjoying your videos lately :)
I just found you! You’re so encouraging , I put the books you suggested on library hold. Am I too bold to ask what your “health issues” were? Peace an blessings!
Hi Kiki - when you mentioned farting after eating legumes; what I do to eliminate or maybe reduce the winds is add about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of "asafoetida" while cooking legumes. I also add to my beans, whether it be black, chickpeas or navy beans. Being an Indian decent my mom has always added that when we cook Dhal. You can purchase it at Amazon. I get mine from the local Indian store.
Love your channel...I too have changed my diet to Plant base after watching your youtube videos along with Pickuplimes.
Am I the only person that has noticed farts and poop no longer smell as bad when you switch to a plant based diet? I’ve been on a plant based diet for 19 days now and i love it!
Welllll....now that you mention it.....lol. yes!
Lol you're 10000% correct! I have been plant based for about 4 years now and after reading and trying to figure out why that is I came to find out it's because your body no longer has a dead carcass it's trying to digest as gross as that sounds 😫 Stay consistent and listen to your body when you eat. Intuitive eating is super important in the beginning stages of being plant based. You got this!! 🌱🌿
That is absolutely correct about the smell not being bad anymore I've noticed
Q8IBOYS truth
It’s because your gut micro biome changes ..
Kiki I love to see how your Chanel is growing and I’m so exited for your new microphone, thank you for all the new recepies I loveeee them and your off the shoulder tops are super nice, I agree is a Latina thing ;) te mando muchísimo amor desde mexico dios te bendiga
Thank you so much!! lol right?! we Latinas love our off the shoulder shirts! y muchas gracias, igualmente
I had heart palpitations, went to my doctor she gave me a video on Forks over knives, watched it and it changed my life. My doctor said no more cooking with oils, eating avocados or eating nuts! Lost the weight and no more palpitations. Be careful on going back on nuts. I started to bring back nuts in because of reading Joel fuhrman book and the weight started to come back on, along with heart palpitations.
Oh my gosh I have heart palpitations too! My doctor just said cut out meat and dairy but I already did that years ago as a vegan. Now I’m halfway there I just need to cut out oils for my health now 🥒🌱
You are definitely looking slimmer even just over the last couple months. I love your videos. Keep them coming.
According to Dr McDougall 1 C of legumes a day is enough, otherwise the protein load might be too much for the kidneys.
You look lovely and it's great that you are so straightforward. Your house is so beautiful! I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for inspiring us all!
My dad had kidney failure so I did a fair amount of reading and as it turns out plant-based protein does not have any ill affect on the kidneys. You can pretty much eat as much as you want.
You are such an inspiration. I too started with Dr. McDougall and then added Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Barnard. I love this life style. You start my day.
You look absolutely gorgeous in your off the shoulder tops. Remain true to you ... Love your style. On a side note, Dr Fuhrman has saved many lives and is respected. He has supplements but you know from reading his book that he doesn't push them. There was one particular person on RUclips that has a great dislike for him and tried to CONTINUOUSLY drag his name through the mud. It was DISGRACEFUL. That is all I have to say on this. Yes, he does not promote starches like Dr MacDougall but take the best from all the plant based Dr's and go with what works best for you. Big hugs!
Anna N , I agree with you about Dr. Fuhrman. I have learned so much from reading his books and listening to him speak, both on tv and in person. I don’t feel like he pushes his supplements but instead, I feel like he sells certain ones because he knows that there are a lot of useless ones out there with synthetic ingredients that will do more harm than good. A great example of that would be folic acid which is the synthetic form. He has always recommended looking for supplements with folate instead. He is extremely knowledgeable about diet, nutrients etc and I always look to him and of course my other favorites, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Barnard, Dr. Greger and Dr. McDougall. There is so much to learn and I am so thankful for all of them.
100% agree, Anna! I couldn't say it better!
Anna N I know who you are talking about! I was disappointed that he went that far.
I know exactly what you're talking about with that doctor/nutrition drama, I was shocked. I subbed here bc I LOVE the Eat to Live books and promote the same eating! Don't see too many channels that recommend actual nutritionists diets. Awesome.
This generation is totally obsessed with lying.
Absolutely loved this video, I love all your videos but really enjoyed this one. Just so natural. Glad you’re investing in equipment not because I have ever thought there was an issue but because it means you’re sticking around. 🙏 love you love your work.
Love your videos!! Don't let the critics get you down! I'm so thankful you are sharing your life! I don't care what the "sound quality" is like. Yes, it is now better but I didn't care before, I was too busy absorbing all of the information you kindly share. Also, I love your tops. Wear what ever you want!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much!
“I’m gonna live to be 104 at least” Me too😀
This whole video was a blast! I love seeing your personality come out and hearing your adorable laugh. Your husband is most assuredly a keeper. Your recipes are amazing. I can’t wait for your next video.
Thank you so much!!
HaHa might be my favorite video yet! Dress however you want. “Get used to it” haha yes Girl!!!!!!! ❤️
haha thank you!!!
I love watching you!! You are so real and I appreciate that. You are who you are and you make no apologies. Thank you! ❤️❤️

As soon as she "got real" about farting, I clicked the thumbs up.
I did notice the sound was different,it sounds really professional, I love watching your new videos and find you so inspirational. I've been Following you for about four months and Dr McDougall's health plans and I feel so much healthier. I haven’t been back to the Doctors due to Covid 19 but I am sure my health has improved and my weight has gone down because of this healthy plant based eating. As I had many of the health problems that you suffered with too. Keep doing what you are doing,I love it!
As for negative people,have you heard the saying ‘if you don’t have anything nice to say,don’t say anything at all.’
thank you! sound like you are doing amazing!
Your audio was very good, and just so you know, even before the new mic, I thought your audio was good.
Your off shoulder blouses are beautiful on you. If you've got beautiful shoulders, as you do, I say celebrate them, and show them off!
Loved your video today!
thank you so much!! have a beautiful day!
I am a 60 yrs old lady.. that follows you and I enjoys your videos. I always forward your videos to my daughter . Continued success!! Much blessings to you always 🙏💕
Thank you so very much!! have a beautiful day!
I love Dr McDougall but the problem that I was having was .....even though I lost weight... I would wake up in the middle of the night RAVENOUS!!!. When I included some healthy fats I wouldn’t wake up in the middle of the night anymore.
Hi maybe I should ask you this im hungry within 2 hours of having spinache and mushroom and potatoes mash. What am I'm doing wrong 😕
@@mini-wy7us Try including some protein(beans, lentils, etc.)and healthy fats(nuts, seeds, avocado, etc.) with every meal and see if that works.
That appears to be good advice you followed re adding healthy fats. I am listening to the audiobook by Mark Hyman MD 'Eat Fat, Get Thin.' Although he no longer advocates a solely plant based diet, he noted that there are high fat, plant based recommendations supported by doctors.
I just found your channel and OMG.. you are hysterical, informative, entertaining and adorable. I’m so excited. Thank you.
You rock the off the shoulder tops. That’s “why”. Duh. Hahahah.
Your body will adjust to the beans and you will toot less eventually.
haha thank you!
I’m still waiting!!!
It helps if you soak them for a long time before cooking .
Soak all pulses and beans for at least ten mins first, it helps with the bloating and tooting.
Cover your dry beans in water, add one teaspoon of baking soda and put them in your fridge overnight before your cook them and you won't have gas.
This audio was fine by the way! Your pot pie recipe looks amazing
If you read from McDougall, dr Esselstyn veg source, dr mc Greger all say Furhman lied in his Science. Also, no nuts for heart patients. Furhman’s diet is very difficult to stay on due to the lack of starches.
I especially admire your candor in this video. I so appreciate it when someone learns more about health and the wfpb diet, and they are not afraid to make adjustments and see how your body reacts to it. Some people will ignore nutritional research, and in the long run that can lead to complications (like some vegans who refuse to take B-12). After all, weight loss/achieving your ideal healthy weight is an important part of health, but like Dr Fuhrman says, we should be eating for health and longevity, not just weight loss. I also am a nutritional research nerd (lol!) and LOVE all the plant based docs (Fuhrman, Barnard, Klaper, Greger, Esselstyn, McDougall, Ornish, Katz, and Campbell). FYI, I was listening to Dr Klaper speak and he said that if someone is struggling to lose weight, they can still eat an ounce of nuts/seeds a day, but try to have it with their salads (or in a nut-based dressing) and keep it 2-3 hours away from when they eat their whole starches/intact grains. He says this is because when we consume a starch and a fat together, the body will burn the starch for energy and store the fat, but if weight loss is not an issue, then he says it doesn't matter and you can eat them together. I also do GREAT with 1 oz of nuts & seeds/day, a TBSP of ground flax, and sometimes ¼ avocado. BTW, I love your off-the-shoulder tops or when you wear your sweaters off shoulder...everyone should show their personal style and have fun with it! YOU DO YOU, GIRL! You're beautiful! xo
awww thank you and thank you for mentioning what dr klapper says about fats and starches!!
I've read Dr Furman and tried to follow him on RUclips. I found him to be aggressive in promoting his brand . He said some bogus misinformation about other Plant based DRs. However the one tip of his that I follow is his approach to having a big salad for a meal. I like that he encourages including more raw veggies and fruit daily.
Thank you so much for sharing such great info! BTW, your comment about Dr. Gregor's book, How Not to Die - I so wanted to read it, but I also found it difficult to get through. You might want to suggest that people get the audiobook instead - Dr. Gregor is so much fun to listen to! His enthusiasm for the information he shares is so infectious and very enjoyable.
I love your response about your off the shoulder tops! “I’m Latina, deal with it” 😂 I never noticed! Maybe it’s because I’m Latina also. 😂
lol! its because you're Latina...off the shoulder tops are like rice and beans....a must
I made your dhal recipe tonight except I added curry leaves, turmeric and and ton more ginger and garlic. Came out amazing 👍🏼
Soooo, what am I eating today? (what I say when your video notification comes up-HAHA)
Love that! hope you enjoy!
Hi Kiki, your audio is fine, never had a problem, and the tops are so you, you are a natural, stay as sweet as you are !! You look great every time. Love to watch you . Thank you for great ideas. Oh I also love nacho.
I totally agree with Furhman and in fact I started losing again with Furhman. It was all the potatoes that didn’t allow me to lose.
Another youtuber said that if you get gas from beans, that means you need more in your diet. I eat a lot of beans, and did notice gas in the beginning, but I think she is right. love your content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. XOXO
I don't think I could love your channel any more. It's awesome! Thank you!
