Although I personally choose to be vegan, I would never judge or criticize another person for eating in a way that feels right for their body. I love that you’re mindful about where you get your products from as well. Much love ❤️
@@persona7-7-7 stop judging... I am for veganism but your way of judging is not right or spiritual because you are coming from a place of Ego. The creator didn't make you the judge and you will be judged just as such.
When I was in high school I had a teacher that was a vegetarian her whole adult life until she wanted to get pregnant. She said she incorporated meat to help with her pregnancy. After her pregnancy she reverted back to being a vegetarian. I think it’s your body and it’s your decision to do what you want with it. Proud of you. 💛
I was the same way. I’ve been vegetarian almost my whole life but when I was pregnant I don’t know something in me was telling me I needed to eat meat so I ate chicken for the pregnancy. Afterwards i’m back to vegan
When I got pregnant with my first daughter, I was vegetarian (almost vegan) and literally started having dreams about cutting into a bloody steak 🤣 Now that I've had (what I believe to be) my last baby, I'm feeling more called toward plant based. We go through so many seasons and times of different needs in our lives!!! ❤
This is what both of my parents did!!! My mom and dad were both vegetarian (but basically vegan) for their whole adult lives, but when my mom became pregnant the doctor told her she was anemic/too iron deficient for pregnancy so they both started eating only fish and poultry, but never red meat!
This is insanity, I’m speechless! Do you all not realize why it is that your body was asking for it? It is because humans need it to be fully healthy and thriving! Without it you are slowly withering away and not operating at your most optimal self case and point. I’m deeply saddened by how misled people have become
You don’t ever have to defend your choices. About anything. Your generosity is sharing your thought processes with others who might be having the same conversations with themselves.
I was vegetarian for years until I grew into some crazy allergies (nuts and legumes) and literally had no choice but to start eating meat again. Long story short, I learned first hand how important it is to listen to your body and really just be kind to yourself. Even though I didn’t want to eat meat and I still feel bad about it at times I try to turn that into gratitude for the animals that feed us ❤️
I've been looking forward to your content more and more as each week passes, I've always admired your lifestyle and perspective on things (not to mention your amazing ASMR!) and you opening up about your pregnancy journey just took my love for you that much further 💖 I'm hoping to start trying with my wife some time next year, and that means lots of lifestyle changes need to start soon! excited to take inspiration from you! good luck and well wishes to you and Nick!
I didn't eat any meat except for seafood very occasionally for 5 years. I got enough plant-based protein and my diet was balanced, but I never felt super well. I starting eating meat again last year. I had and still have a lot of conflicts about eating meat again, but my body is absolutely thanking me for it. I do my best to choose humanely raised meat from small family farms, and over time that has made me feel less guilty about my decision. Good for you for listening to your body!
Eating meat doesn’t make you a bad person. You just know yourself and what your body wants and I think that’s great! I was vegan for 7 years and recently started eating chicken. I felt guilty at first because I felt like I was going to be judged by my whole family and in a way I did but I don’t care because I’m doing what’s right for me. So I’m proud of you!
@@Lalalaalalalalalaalla the great peril of existence is that you have to consume other living beings. the cycle of life is evil, depraved, this is why mystics turn away from the world.
Longtime vegetarian (22 years now) with two boys. Two healthy and perfect pregnancies and babies. I had one miscarriage in between my two pregnancies, it's so extremely common, especially after a previous pregnancy or getting off of birth control as hormones are still getting out the kinks. I don't blame you for wanting to do everything you can to feel healthy. It is completely possible however, without question, to have a perfect pregnancy and perfectly healthy baby (my oldest was an 8.5 pounder, haha) without meat. Just saying this so that if it doesn't work for you for some reason after trying it a while, you don't have to feel like you're not doing things right or like you're lacking in anything. Don't feel bad either way, just do what brings you the most peace. ❤️ Much love, lovely Julia.
Seconding this! I was vegetarian through my first pregnancy and had severe hyperemesis gravidarum with my second so I quite literally didn't eat anything. I survived on saltines and Gatorade and even that got thrown up.
@@ezrajackson5500 Ohhhhh you poor thing. 😭 I've only had regular morning sickness and thought I might die at times. 😅 I cannot imagine what you must have gone through!!! Hugs to you!
Vanessa, this is a fair point and I do agree vegetarians can be healthy, but I do also think for some people who have had acne and used acne related drugs, we can sometimes have digestive issues which mean we need more animal products than others to be healthy. Might not be the case with Julia, but it's worth her giving it a go, she definitely isn't making herself less healthy eating things like salmon and a bit of chicken! animal products have pre converted vitamins and nutrients that, as I said, can be hard for some people (for many reasons) to synthesize within their own bodies.
@@lamarr1986 Oh, I agree. I think everybody needs to eat what makes them feel the best, regardless of dietary guidelines. Intuitive eating, if you will. I think some people need more fat than others, others more protein, etc. I definitely don't judge Julia's choices whatsoever, I just want her to feel assured if eating meat doesn't work out for her that she needn't worry. That's all. 🙂 I have always been completely disgusted with meat but I do eat dairy products. For me being a vegetarian isn't really a choice, meat just literally makes me retch. I can't handle it. 😝 I'm not sure about Julia's reasons for being a vegetarian but I'm basically just trying to give her some soon-to-be mama reassurance. ❤️
Seeing you eat good amounts of food makes me feel so much better about my own diet. I've gained weight recently and have been trying to lose it as I don't feel good. My family have been commenting on my portions being too large though I know that they are good for my needs and anything less would be too little and cause me to binge. Seeing you healthy and happy eating good portions instills some confidence in me! Thank you Julia for amazing content as always! ❤
I literally just talked about this with my bf. I've always had a problem with my weight and the thought of eating 3 eggs at once would never occur to me, I'd tell myself that's too much. 3 meals a day and snacks? healthy food or not, my relationship with food and my body would make me feel so much guilt for eating "that much" (which honestly isn't a huge amount) my brain has been so warped from a literal LIFETIME of dieting and being "too big" and "too much" I have spent 22 years at war with my body.
Hi, Renee!! I've struggled with an eating disorder most of my life and have been in and out of treatment centers. I've experienced every eating disorder type under the sun and can tell you that you are doing the RIGHT thing for you and your body by sticking to portions that satiate you and not listening to what your family says (I'm so sorry about that, by the way. That sounds really unhelpful and difficult to deal with to get those messages from them!!!). I know for a fact that if you truly satisfy your hunger cues your body will balance out in the end. Just keep going! Everyone's metabolism is different so portions are relative. The most important thing is eating enough so you don't binge! Even if you gain weight at first and it feels unnatural I promise your body will balance out over time... I'd say focus less on weight and more on satisfying your hunger. Everything falls into place in the end (and even if you are at a higher weight than you wish you could be I promise your body will thank you in the end and just eating regularly helps your body realize it doesnt have to hold on to extra energy stores, so you'll likely lose any uncomfortable added 'energy stores'... i.e. fat hahah). Sorry this is long. Just super relatable and want to let you know you're doing the right thing -- keep going ❤️❤️❤️
Nick cam was my favorite part ^_^ I've been a vegetarian for two decades and have been struggling with the idea of adding gelatin back into my diet. Been working with a nutritionist and I know that I feel better mentally and physically when I focus on my nutrition, but it's hard to balance it with what I've formed habits around. We're all learning day by day
You’re so thoughtful in your decisions & I really appreciate how transparent you are on here, even with things you could easily leave out to avoid negative responses. The message of listening to our own bodies is so important & your videos always give me a new goal or positive outlook so thank you for your effort and energy 💜
what we eat is so personal and i would never judge someone else’s choices even if mine are different!! loved the video julia thanks for being so open and honest
I feel like society has become wayyyy too critical of other peoples choices and forget we are all just doing our best and we need to have love and respect for all man and woman kind ♥️
If you really want to make a conscious decision about eating meat, I think it’s best to educate yourself (or if you have then remind yourself) on what actually happens to animals before they end up on your plate. Because we can loose the connection again as to what happens to them because we don’t see what they go through before they are packaged up on the supermarket shelves. And we can forget that they do have a face...
As a person graduated from culinary school I’ll say your food prep is so pro 💯 love it! Everything looks so delicious. Glad you are doing good and enjoying food 😉
I just feel so proud of you for making adjustments based upon what feels most nourishing and beneficial to you! I am sure that was hard to come to terms with and I really think that’s amazing!
Thanks for sharing Julia! The presentation of the plated food was quite pleasing to the eye. I am happy for you because you are doing what is best for you!! Ignore the judges out there; they're just jealous or perhaps too afraid to embark on a journey to freedom themselves. Hopefully you will inspire many.
I love this!!!! Clean eating does not have to mean unenjoyable meals. Finding a healthy balance in a way that works for you in the cleanest way possible is the key for not only dieting but clean eating in general, fulfilling your cravings, and encouraging a better mental relationship with your food and body !!
You've been such a huge source of inspo over the last few years for meals, snacks etc. Every time I don't feel like eating or cutting up fresh veggies, fruit or whatever and making a nice meal I think of your videos and how fun and relaxing you make preparing food with your cute plates and sharp knives :) :)
Everything looks delicious! Please don’t be discouraged by anyone who decides to criticize. You are a lovely person making decisions for yourself. No one else lives in your shoes. Thank you for sharing!
I cannot watch this video ☹️ of course i can imagine all the listening to your body, supporting local farmers narrative… which I think is delusional sorry. You always spread so much positivity, calm and introspection, and inspire so many people to be more respectful and kind to others. That is why I don’t see the need for a justification video on this. Of course this is your channel, just wanted to share my feels ♥️
I'm trying that first recipe soon. Also, I think it's awesome that you're eating what you feel is necessary for you. I'm trying to cut back on meat, and now that my porkchops and chicken are gone, I want to just stick with just seafood. This is inspiring me not to buy any meats next time I go grocery shopping
This past year had really messed up my eating habits and I've been consuming too much fast and processed foods. My health is really being affected, it really cemented that gut-mind link personally. I really enjoyed you sharing this as it helps highlight healthy eating can be simple, yet tasty. It definitely gave me a lot of ideas!
Hi Julia! I distinctly remember your old videos about grocieries, and it would be very interesting to have a view on your update local (and not local) favorites shops or grocery shopping habits. Lots of love from Italy!
Hey Julia. First off let me point out that I love your content and I'm thankful you put out so many different kinds of videos that help me relax and inspire me all the time. Something in this video caught my attention though, and I feel like I want to speak out, partially because you have such a huge audience. Maybe I missed it, but I believe you didn't really address your reasons _why_ you are eating chicken meat again. There's a reason why it freaks you out to remove chicken meat from the bone - that meat comes from an animal, an individual. Chickens are just as deserving of life as any other living creature. They don't want to suffer and die. As an ethical vegan who strongly objects to the unnecessary torturing and killing of any animal - as it _is_ unnecessary seeing how you can live a perfectly healthy and tasteful life as a vegan, I myself am proof of that - I feel like it requires a more elaborate explanation as to why you decided to eat chicken again. What nutrients were you missing out on when you weren't eating chicken? Anyway, I don't want to come across as disrepectful and I'd rather educate than judge, so I'm curious to hear about your reasons and love to help you out if possible. I have built up quite some experience replacing animal products with plant-based alternatives so I'm glad to be of assistance. PS: Same goes for the salmon and dairy, by the way, which are also (by)products from the suffering of living creatures.
@@Julie-ik9cr Of course not, that's why I'm asking her and not _forcing_ her. But if you read my question you'd understand that because there are victims involved, it's definitely a valid thing to ask. And something that _should_ require at least some sort of explanation.
Hi Julia! I absolutely love your videos! I loved the recipes that u showed us! Just a suggestion, could you please do a video of maybe a week or even less days, showing us your meals? I mean, it does not need to be a vlog, but just a video with cuts of what you eat, how to do the recipes e how to prepare food? I'm enjoying so much your passion for cooking in a healthy way, with love, with color, with life! Thank you very much, you are a inspiring and shining person!
I stumbled across your asmr videos then watched a few others which resonated with me. It is refreshing to watch something real and not overly commercialized and relate-able. Just wanted to say I relate a lot to this video too. I went on an almost identical route from vegetarian for many years to eating fish then chicken only, which I am also conflicted about. Considering my love for all things avian, it really is a conflict. But I chose to incorporate chicken and turkey meat after I couldn't keep weight on and became really anemic on a plant based diet. I was tired all the time and my hair started falling out too. Luckily after a few months of incorporating meat, supplements and a few other tweaks it made an incredible difference. One other thing, I also struggled with acne and roseaca for years. Two things I cannot recommend enough. Proactiv, it immediately cleared my skin of acne and drinking celery juice daily took down the redness and inflammation. The juice also dramatically helped my autoimmune condition too. Anyway, thanks for posting your content! Will be subscribing.
@@itsblitzzz yay! I love when you talk about your oils, do the one on one and definitely tapping with your nails. Your voice is so calming! Can’t wait!
Julia, I have been subscribed to you since the days of t-shirt cutting! I never really find the need to comment although I've watched every video you've ever made and very much look forward to your uploads. I am currently listening to you make this yummy food while starting at my beautiful baby while I nurse her. I watched your video about your pregnancy and I felt so connected to your story. I was never supposed to be able to have children. I had completely put the idea of ever having a baby out of my mind a long time ago, but like you, I knew I was pregnant the minute it happened, even after 10 years of no such luck. I just knew. My baby was born two months early and she was in the NICU for a month, but she's home now, and she's perfect. When I look at her I see the best part of myself. There really is no feeling that I can compare it to. I'm not really sure why I felt I needed to tell you that, other than to say I just know should you and Nick decide to try again, you will make wonderful parents. Everything will happen when it's meant to happen. My beautiful baby is proof of that. ❤ Wishing you both health and happiness.
Paused video @4:39 to tell you THANK YOU FOR SHARING A SKILL SHARE CODE WITH US! I personally am soooo incredibly grateful! I love this platform! Thank you 🙏🏼
I'm curious, were you vegetarian for ethical reasons? Are you deficient in something that made you decide to eat meat again? What is in meat that you can't find in plants and whole foods that is healthy? I'm just wondering. I hope things work out for you.
I agree that it's not okay to judge people on their personal choices, but when those choices hurt and exploit innocent living beings, and our climate it's kind of hard not to judge.
you can turn your palm and the area under your arms to sun about 20 minutes and put sunscreen everywhere else (especially sensitive areas like face and neck) if you are concerned about skin cancer, also not washing your body after getting sun for vitD increases the absorption
I am vegan and I think I will never eat meat again ever… I believe it is cruel, just not healthy and it is not good for the planet. Love and Peace 🥦🍏🍍🍋🫑🍅🍓🌽🌱🍌🧄🍆🥝🥑🥬🥒🌳
So inspiring... Lately i've been taking care of my health by going to the doctor for chronic pain... now I want to take a really good care of myself, of my home, without listenning to people telling me that i am probably just delicate. I tried to face my fears, now i am heard, and moving foward. I'm sure that it is already affecting my projects and happiness... Your videos really did take a big part in this decision... So I wish you both the best, from France 🍁
There's nothing controversial about the topic itself, but I think there was no need to preface it with how people don't eat "real" food anymore/there's not much "real" food anymore etc. A molecule is the same regardless of whether it's naturally occurring or synthesized so it's perfectly fine to take supplements when on vegan/vegetarian diet to make sure everything's in order, and it's just as healthy. Veganism and vegans already suffer from a huge stigma and attacks from the "all-natural"/"real" advocates that fear-monger people into thinking that enriched food/supplements is poison and draw people away from environmentally conscious choices for fear of malnutrition. If you meant the introduction to serve a different context I apologise, but given the title of the video it seems clear it we in relation to veganism/vegetarianism and implied your choice to eat meat was a choice towards healthier/"real" diet as opposed to a personal preference/personal health decision. You also mention how controversial it is and ask for understanding multiple times as if people will come screaming at you for a personal choice, but that's not the case (unless they're just bullies regardless). If there's anything people would be criticizing you for, it's for the inaccurate health information that I pointed at in the beginning - there is no need to portray vegans as irrational bullies. I still love your videos and glad you made a choice for yourself that felt right. I just felt that the way you presented it seemed misleading and thought I'd express that. I hope it doesn't come off harsh and that you are well!
I've tried going vegetarian a few times in my life and always end up going back to meat because I'm so fatigued when I eat vegetarian. I think everyone's body is different and some people thrive as vegetarians, while others thrive eating meat. Do whatever works best for your body!
Same here. I did what I call "part-time vegan" where I ate two vegan meals a day and the third could be whatever (I actually still do this some days by accident - I'm not a huge meat eater as is). I made sure I ate sources of protein, I took iron, B vitamins etc and I eat lots of veggies and fruit anyway. But I felt crappy, and the final point was where the top of one of my nails peeled off like it was a sticker randomly. It's not for all of us.
Maybe the problem lies in some aminoacidic decificiency. I for one still follow a Mediterranean diet and have limited a lot my meat consumption but never felt truly tired when going without it. While recalibrating my diet towards a more healthy and plant based model I still eat dairy, eggs, poultry and of course (rarely) steaks. Because let's be honest, it's hard to go on without those. But you're right: guidelines aside, some people are just not built for certain diets
I love how you turned off the like and dislike button. It's no one's business what you choose to put in your body especially when it comes to your health. There are going to be a lot of upset people in the comment section who are more concerned about their ideology than the choices and health of the person making the decision.
I think some people are concerned precisely because the consumption of animal products is not just about personal health. It has an environmental footprint, which impacts everyone, and of course it impacts the animals. With that said, health and eating what makes you feel good is important as well for sure and there are many other ways to be eco friendly.
I like your channel so much Julia. You are so kind and genuine. I feel like I'm visiting with a friend. I think of you often and I am sending you all the good vibes. Your food always looks gorgeous too! Thanks for the bonus kitty content!😺😘💞💞
Was the salad good? It looked delicious. How did you like the chicken? I'm just curious. No judgements. I've been watching your vlogs more and more because you are an authentic person and I'm also a healthy conscious person. Thank you for the content and recipes.
😂😂my favorite and easiest recipe Boiled beetroots you put them in a container that has a lid and add vinegar till 1/4 of the container and some choped garlic and a little bit salt and can be stored to the frigde for a week or so 😂😂it never stays till a week When i serving it i add lemon and olive oil to them and this is pure heaven😂😂
15:48 Julia is all “Stop you guys!” to the kit kats like a typical mom trying to break up fights between the kids and then you hear Nick just laughing like a typical dad does at his kids roughhousing 🤣
Your food philosophy is really inspiring. I’m an almost lifelong vegetarian too and have been trying to re-examine my relationship to meat and fish. Being kind to myself is just as important as being kind to the environment and to animals and seeing how you’ve been navigating this really makes me feel more secure in my nutritional choices :)
I agree! I’m not vegetarian, but I would say 4 of 7 dinners of my week is fish or plant-based. I think if everyone tried to cut down on the meat consumption we would already come a long way. Many feel like giving it up completely is too difficult for them, so I often encourage them to switch out a few dinners a week, some of their lunches etc
Yay! That's awesome! I have also been trying to follow this.. I was vegan for 12+ years and a few years ago started eating ALL foods.... it's been really hard and I miss being vegan for ethical/moral reasons. But exactly like you said 'being kind to myself is just as important as being kind to the environment and animals.' I keep having to remind myself of this. It's difficult but it's important for us to take care of ourselves too.
@@felicitybridges677 oh, is has been hard to quit plant-based? 🤔 Go tell this to the masses of animals that are tortured for several months or years, and finally killed so you can enjoy your burger. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@canariiaaaa for real ! Everyone saying “this choice is better for me” but what about the choices that negatively effect affecting animals as well like it’s not just you that suffering . Also people blaming vitamin deficiencies or health issues on the veganism ridiculous as if people who eat meat and dairy can’t get sick they are likely to! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@SOOTHSAYERVEGA absolutely! In fact, it has been proved that a vegan diet (well structured, with knowledge) is much healthier and prevent deseases🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️.
It sometimes blows my mind how people choose to eat vegan/vegetarian or whatever because of reasons and maybe knowing about animal products and their bad impact in the world but then, when they choose to eat meat again, are totally surprised when people don't like their decision. I myself was vegan for 2 years but sometimes eat fish now, and I know it's bad and people have the right to judge me. You can do whatever you want but don't expect people to accept all your choices. I am 100% convinced that only a small percentage of people truly need meat in their diet. Everyone else is just not interested in changing. And that's fine folks. But don't act like it's such a unique and special thing, almost like your diet is part of your identity. It's not that deep.
Because sometimes you have to change things for your own health and body. She literally explains why. She is also trying to conceive a baby, and she’s noticing she might need some meat in her diet to help with that. There’s lots of reasons. It’s okay to eat whatever you want and change up your diet whenever you want. No one should be shamed or questioned for it tbh
I've actually went vegeterian thanks to you and some other people's influence in 2019 👀 So this was unexpected but you should do what's best for you girll! 💗
I love watching you videos ❤️ they make me so happy and give me so much peace. You eating chicken is a personal choice you do you boo 😚 I personally don't eat seafood and I was literally telling my sisters today I want to try salmon and you literally just gave me the perfect recipe 💕 love you lots!
Good for you!Your health is very important and you deserve to be happy and nourished. I've been eating more meat this last year and I feel so much better physically and mentally, it has make a world of difference in my life.
@@spaketticarbonada9651 Wouldn't you reckon it's more cult-like to continue torturing and killing animals for pleasure, millions by the day? That something may be more mainstream doesn't make it the 'right' or 'normal' lifestyle automatically.
Your food preparation and presentation always makes me feel better about everything, something so everyday and easily mundane you make beautiful and relaxing and i don’t feel the pressure of diets or judgement
I'm sorry but your cats fighting was so funny, my cats do the same. they'll just be sitting next to each other one second and the next they'll square up 😭😭😭😭😭
Yes and no. Of course you do you. I have a vegan past and at some point I just couldn't pursue my strictly plant-based way. The moment I started to reintroduce meat, my life was better. Still, eating 🍖 remains a dilemma: Why do we love our pets like family members and still kill others? I feel that once we have cared enough for ourselves, we should care for the animals, too. Why breastfeed our babies until they're 5 years old and have cow's milk and cheese that aren't meant for us, from cows that have to watch their calves in small boxes and then are impregnated over and over again? So basically, I don't understand why people don't rather ditch the dairy instead of the meat.
Welcome back to reality. We need meet. We are omnivores! Case closed. Next! PS don't be apologetic for natural things like eating meat. I suggest you to eat red organic meat if you want a proper nourishment
I 100% believe you can eat a healthy and fulfilling vegetarian or vegan lifestyle - I was pescatarian for 10 years, and have been vegetarian for the past 5 years myself. That being said, I do understand when those people feel they need to incorporate some meat back into their life (can't imagine what it must feel like to eat literal flesh again, but I digress). I appreciate that you still make plant-based meals where you can, and limit your meat intake. I think that's what's most important: that you eat consciously.
My thoughts exactly as a 5 year vegetarian - I truly can’t fathom that I’ll ever feel like eating meat again? But at the end of the day, make informed decisions and do what’s best for you.
Julia you don't have to defend yourself at all. You deserve to make whatever decision suits your life the best. I respect you for literally being you, that's why I love you and your channel. So respectfully, fck what anyone has to say. If it's not positive, let them hate.
eating meat feels so good to my body, and i know it's right for me after recovering from an eating disorder and reintroducing animal products back into my diet. everyone has a personal journey sending love xx
The Breakfast is called Bratkartoffeln over here in Germany, I also do it with eggs!😋 Edit: I also go out in the sun and naturally "tank" some Vitamin D (without sunscreen) everyday. PS: Nice fridge/refrigerator lol Edit #2: I think the French word you are looking for for this ice cream is - Sorbet (pronounced "Sorbe"), which in turn probably is derived from the Turkish / West Asian (Oghur) word Şərvət/Šerbet, which is a cold drink. Edit #3: Sorry, if my English is bad I'm not a native English speaker or that's not my mother tongue.
I may just not be finding them, but do you have new asmr whisper vids?? After watching\listening to asmr, you are hands down the best. Something about your style/tone/approach/sound of voice is simply the best.
I loved this video. I have depression 😔 and I struggle to even eat sometimes (food will literally gross me out). But you just switched up the narrative for me with this video, so thank you for that Julia!!!!
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with changing your diet. I am vegan and have been for 14 years and I would never push my views on anyone and I think we all can eat whatever we like. Unfortunately when I post my food on IG I get so much hate for my diet. I don’t think we should criticize each other over something as small as food! We all have different preferences and that’s ok.
Can we all collectively stop listening to the food and diet narratives on social media and do what is BEST for ourselves as individuals?
very that, thank you
Proud of you 💙
"intuitive eating" is the way to go and it's basically just doing what you feel is best for your unique body
What about what is best for the individual pigs, cows, sheep and chickens? Do their lives not count? 😢
Yay! I'm on the carnivore diet and have never felt better.
Although I personally choose to be vegan, I would never judge or criticize another person for eating in a way that feels right for their body. I love that you’re mindful about where you get your products from as well. Much love ❤️
Soon enough you will quit the slave diet 👍

I’m so happy I’ve found your channel in my early twenties. You’re such a good influence!
I’m so glad I found her at 16 :))
@@ccts547 me too! i started following her because of asmr but now i watch all her videos!
🙂❤️
Totally agree! 💝✨
I've been looking forward to your content more and more as each week passes, I've always admired your lifestyle and perspective on things (not to mention your amazing ASMR!) and you opening up about your pregnancy journey just took my love for you that much further 💖 I'm hoping to start trying with my wife some time next year, and that means lots of lifestyle changes need to start soon! excited to take inspiration from you! good luck and well wishes to you and Nick!
Thank you for your support! I wish you and your wife the best of luck ❤️
eat red meat too!!! since i stopped being vegetarian, i feel sososososooooo much better. seriously.
“You can have the messed up one”
“Naturally”
I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I didn't eat any meat except for seafood very occasionally for 5 years. I got enough plant-based protein and my diet was balanced, but I never felt super well. I starting eating meat again last year. I had and still have a lot of conflicts about eating meat again, but my body is absolutely thanking me for it. I do my best to choose humanely raised meat from small family farms, and over time that has made me feel less guilty about my decision. Good for you for listening to your body!
Eating meat doesn’t make you a bad person. You just know yourself and what your body wants and I think that’s great! I was vegan for 7 years and recently started eating chicken. I felt guilty at first because I felt like I was going to be judged by my whole family and in a way I did but I don’t care because I’m doing what’s right for me. So I’m proud of you!
It is difficult when our decisions are not always agreeable to family and friends. Thank you for sharing and for the kindness.
It does make you a bad person, you are eating a being with a soul
@@persona7-7-7 nah it ain't, it's called the cycle of life and nutrition. It is not bad to eat meat lol its very healthy
@@Lalalaalalalalalaalla the great peril of existence is that you have to consume other living beings. the cycle of life is evil, depraved, this is why mystics turn away from the world.
Paying for cruelty does make you a bad person
Longtime vegetarian (22 years now) with two boys. Two healthy and perfect pregnancies and babies. I had one miscarriage in between my two pregnancies, it's so extremely common, especially after a previous pregnancy or getting off of birth control as hormones are still getting out the kinks. I don't blame you for wanting to do everything you can to feel healthy. It is completely possible however, without question, to have a perfect pregnancy and perfectly healthy baby (my oldest was an 8.5 pounder, haha) without meat. Just saying this so that if it doesn't work for you for some reason after trying it a while, you don't have to feel like you're not doing things right or like you're lacking in anything. Don't feel bad either way, just do what brings you the most peace. ❤️ Much love, lovely Julia.
Seconding this! I was vegetarian through my first pregnancy and had severe hyperemesis gravidarum with my second so I quite literally didn't eat anything. I survived on saltines and Gatorade and even that got thrown up.
@@ezrajackson5500 Ohhhhh you poor thing. 😭 I've only had regular morning sickness and thought I might die at times. 😅 I cannot imagine what you must have gone through!!! Hugs to you!
Vanessa, this is a fair point and I do agree vegetarians can be healthy, but I do also think for some people who have had acne and used acne related drugs, we can sometimes have digestive issues which mean we need more animal products than others to be healthy. Might not be the case with Julia, but it's worth her giving it a go, she definitely isn't making herself less healthy eating things like salmon and a bit of chicken! animal products have pre converted vitamins and nutrients that, as I said, can be hard for some people (for many reasons) to synthesize within their own bodies.
@@lamarr1986 Oh, I agree. I think everybody needs to eat what makes them feel the best, regardless of dietary guidelines. Intuitive eating, if you will. I think some people need more fat than others, others more protein, etc. I definitely don't judge Julia's choices whatsoever, I just want her to feel assured if eating meat doesn't work out for her that she needn't worry. That's all. 🙂 I have always been completely disgusted with meat but I do eat dairy products. For me being a vegetarian isn't really a choice, meat just literally makes me retch. I can't handle it. 😝 I'm not sure about Julia's reasons for being a vegetarian but I'm basically just trying to give her some soon-to-be mama reassurance. ❤️
Btw you don’t actually absorb vitamin d outside, you absorb UVB rays that allow your body to synthesize vitamin D!
I love your spirit and encouragement for others. Wishing you and Nick all the very best. Sending you peace, love, and joy ❤️✨
Seeing you eat good amounts of food makes me feel so much better about my own diet. I've gained weight recently and have been trying to lose it as I don't feel good. My family have been commenting on my portions being too large though I know that they are good for my needs and anything less would be too little and cause me to binge. Seeing you healthy and happy eating good portions instills some confidence in me! Thank you Julia for amazing content as always! ❤
I literally just talked about this with my bf. I've always had a problem with my weight and the thought of eating 3 eggs at once would never occur to me, I'd tell myself that's too much. 3 meals a day and snacks? healthy food or not, my relationship with food and my body would make me feel so much guilt for eating "that much" (which honestly isn't a huge amount)
my brain has been so warped from a literal LIFETIME of dieting and being "too big" and "too much" I have spent 22 years at war with my body.
Hi, Renee!! I've struggled with an eating disorder most of my life and have been in and out of treatment centers. I've experienced every eating disorder type under the sun and can tell you that you are doing the RIGHT thing for you and your body by sticking to portions that satiate you and not listening to what your family says (I'm so sorry about that, by the way. That sounds really unhelpful and difficult to deal with to get those messages from them!!!). I know for a fact that if you truly satisfy your hunger cues your body will balance out in the end. Just keep going! Everyone's metabolism is different so portions are relative. The most important thing is eating enough so you don't binge! Even if you gain weight at first and it feels unnatural I promise your body will balance out over time... I'd say focus less on weight and more on satisfying your hunger. Everything falls into place in the end (and even if you are at a higher weight than you wish you could be I promise your body will thank you in the end and just eating regularly helps your body realize it doesnt have to hold on to extra energy stores, so you'll likely lose any uncomfortable added 'energy stores'... i.e. fat hahah). Sorry this is long. Just super relatable and want to let you know you're doing the right thing -- keep going ❤️❤️❤️
Nick cam was my favorite part ^_^ I've been a vegetarian for two decades and have been struggling with the idea of adding gelatin back into my diet. Been working with a nutritionist and I know that I feel better mentally and physically when I focus on my nutrition, but it's hard to balance it with what I've formed habits around. We're all learning day by day
You’re so thoughtful in your decisions & I really appreciate how transparent you are on here, even with things you could easily leave out to avoid negative responses. The message of listening to our own bodies is so important & your videos always give me a new goal or positive outlook so thank you for your effort and energy 💜
what we eat is so personal and i would never judge someone else’s choices even if mine are different!! loved the video julia thanks for being so open and honest
Do you apply this logic to other ethical issues?
Healthy dishes/snacks and cat content is all I could really ever hope for in a video lol thanks for sharing!
I feel like society has become wayyyy too critical of other peoples choices and forget we are all just doing our best and we need to have love and respect for all man and woman kind ♥️
What about respect for other species 😢
So good to see you again, Julia!! I'm mesmerized right away by the sweet potato spiral!! 😍
I love Nick's reaction to the dinner "it's really fucking good" lol
Watching you and Nick interact on camera makes me realize how much Nick appreciates your lifestyle/how you are and it makes me very happy
If you really want to make a conscious decision about eating meat, I think it’s best to educate yourself (or if you have then remind yourself) on what actually happens to animals before they end up on your plate. Because we can loose the connection again as to what happens to them because we don’t see what they go through before they are packaged up on the supermarket shelves. And we can forget that they do have a face...
I've been a vegetarian since I was 5, so 38 years of not eating meat, chicken or fish.
I have so much respect and admiration for you Julia. Keep being you 💜
too much debate about food choices and not enough comments on the quality moment of two identical cats going ape mode on each other
It takes a strong heart to love, but it takes an even stronger heart to continue to love after it's been hurt.
😇
I love knowing that once upon a time he didn’t like cats and the first frame of him in this video is him holding one of the cats like a baby
As a person graduated from culinary school I’ll say your food prep is so pro 💯 love it! Everything looks so delicious. Glad you are doing good and enjoying food 😉
OooOoO honored by this recognition! Thank you!!
I just feel so proud of you for making adjustments based upon what feels most nourishing and beneficial to you! I am sure that was hard to come to terms with and I really think that’s amazing!
Your dietary changes are evidently working for you. You are GLOWING !!!
Very happy to have found your channel!
🧡💚
Thanks for sharing Julia! The presentation of the plated food was quite pleasing to the eye. I am happy for you because you are doing what is best for you!! Ignore the judges out there; they're just jealous or perhaps too afraid to embark on a journey to freedom themselves. Hopefully you will inspire many.
I love this!!!! Clean eating does not have to mean unenjoyable meals. Finding a healthy balance in a way that works for you in the cleanest way possible is the key for not only dieting but clean eating in general, fulfilling your cravings, and encouraging a better mental relationship with your food and body !!
You've been such a huge source of inspo over the last few years for meals, snacks etc. Every time I don't feel like eating or cutting up fresh veggies, fruit or whatever and making a nice meal I think of your videos and how fun and relaxing you make preparing food with your cute plates and sharp knives :) :)
Everything looks delicious! Please don’t be discouraged by anyone who decides to criticize. You are a lovely person making decisions for yourself. No one else lives in your shoes. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much, Amy! I always appreciate your comments. ❤️
I cannot watch this video ☹️ of course i can imagine all the listening to your body, supporting local farmers narrative… which I think is delusional sorry. You always spread so much positivity, calm and introspection, and inspire so many people to be more respectful and kind to others. That is why I don’t see the need for a justification video on this. Of course this is your channel, just wanted to share my feels ♥️
I'm trying that first recipe soon. Also, I think it's awesome that you're eating what you feel is necessary for you. I'm trying to cut back on meat, and now that my porkchops and chicken are gone, I want to just stick with just seafood. This is inspiring me not to buy any meats next time I go grocery shopping
This past year had really messed up my eating habits and I've been consuming too much fast and processed foods. My health is really being affected, it really cemented that gut-mind link personally. I really enjoyed you sharing this as it helps highlight healthy eating can be simple, yet tasty. It definitely gave me a lot of ideas!
Nick doing the close ups of the cats before dinner was def the winning shot. Haha.
Hi Julia! I distinctly remember your old videos about grocieries, and it would be very interesting to have a view on your update local (and not local) favorites shops or grocery shopping habits. Lots of love from Italy!
Hey Julia. First off let me point out that I love your content and I'm thankful you put out so many different kinds of videos that help me relax and inspire me all the time. Something in this video caught my attention though, and I feel like I want to speak out, partially because you have such a huge audience. Maybe I missed it, but I believe you didn't really address your reasons _why_ you are eating chicken meat again. There's a reason why it freaks you out to remove chicken meat from the bone - that meat comes from an animal, an individual. Chickens are just as deserving of life as any other living creature. They don't want to suffer and die. As an ethical vegan who strongly objects to the unnecessary torturing and killing of any animal - as it _is_ unnecessary seeing how you can live a perfectly healthy and tasteful life as a vegan, I myself am proof of that - I feel like it requires a more elaborate explanation as to why you decided to eat chicken again. What nutrients were you missing out on when you weren't eating chicken? Anyway, I don't want to come across as disrepectful and I'd rather educate than judge, so I'm curious to hear about your reasons and love to help you out if possible. I have built up quite some experience replacing animal products with plant-based alternatives so I'm glad to be of assistance.
PS: Same goes for the salmon and dairy, by the way, which are also (by)products from the suffering of living creatures.
No is ever required to give you any explanation of their personal diet, actually.
If you actually wanted to know, you would have just asked your question.
@@missMediaChick Because a digression makes my question invalid? I've explained _why_ I'm asking the question, I don't need you to get involved.
@@Julie-ik9cr Of course not, that's why I'm asking her and not _forcing_ her. But if you read my question you'd understand that because there are victims involved, it's definitely a valid thing to ask. And something that _should_ require at least some sort of explanation.
@@Meesterlijker And yet, it doesn’t require an explanation, ever, period.
Hi Julia! I absolutely love your videos! I loved the recipes that u showed us! Just a suggestion, could you please do a video of maybe a week or even less days, showing us your meals? I mean, it does not need to be a vlog, but just a video with cuts of what you eat, how to do the recipes e how to prepare food? I'm enjoying so much your passion for cooking in a healthy way, with love, with color, with life! Thank you very much, you are a inspiring and shining person!
I stumbled across your asmr videos then watched a few others which resonated with me. It is refreshing to watch something real and not overly commercialized and relate-able. Just wanted to say I relate a lot to this video too. I went on an almost identical route from vegetarian for many years to eating fish then chicken only, which I am also conflicted about. Considering my love for all things avian, it really is a conflict. But I chose to incorporate chicken and turkey meat after I couldn't keep weight on and became really anemic on a plant based diet. I was tired all the time and my hair started falling out too. Luckily after a few months of incorporating meat, supplements and a few other tweaks it made an incredible difference. One other thing, I also struggled with acne and roseaca for years. Two things I cannot recommend enough. Proactiv, it immediately cleared my skin of acne and drinking celery juice daily took down the redness and inflammation. The juice also dramatically helped my autoimmune condition too. Anyway, thanks for posting your content! Will be subscribing.
You're a true influencer!!! Thanks for for share with all of us the story of your life! ❤
Thank you for being here! 🙂
Omg! First one to comment. I love your videos. I definitely miss your ASMR.
I am editing 2 ASMR videos currently ❤️
@@itsblitzzz yay! I love when you talk about your oils, do the one on one and definitely tapping with your nails. Your voice is so calming! Can’t wait!
Julia,
I have been subscribed to you since the days of t-shirt cutting! I never really find the need to comment although I've watched every video you've ever made and very much look forward to your uploads. I am currently listening to you make this yummy food while starting at my beautiful baby while I nurse her. I watched your video about your pregnancy and I felt so connected to your story. I was never supposed to be able to have children. I had completely put the idea of ever having a baby out of my mind a long time ago, but like you, I knew I was pregnant the minute it happened, even after 10 years of no such luck. I just knew. My baby was born two months early and she was in the NICU for a month, but she's home now, and she's perfect. When I look at her I see the best part of myself. There really is no feeling that I can compare it to. I'm not really sure why I felt I needed to tell you that, other than to say I just know should you and Nick decide to try again, you will make wonderful parents. Everything will happen when it's meant to happen. My beautiful baby is proof of that. ❤
Wishing you both health and happiness.
Paused video @4:39 to tell you THANK YOU FOR SHARING A SKILL SHARE CODE WITH US! I personally am soooo incredibly grateful! I love this platform! Thank you 🙏🏼
Good to see this. Meat is how humans should be eating. Especially beef , pastured organic eggs, and raw dairy.
I'm curious, were you vegetarian for ethical reasons? Are you deficient in something that made you decide to eat meat again? What is in meat that you can't find in plants and whole foods that is healthy? I'm just wondering. I hope things work out for you.
Presentation is always on point!!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻
I agree that it's not okay to judge people on their personal choices, but when those choices hurt and exploit innocent living beings, and our climate it's kind of hard not to judge.
you can turn your palm and the area under your arms to sun about 20 minutes and put sunscreen everywhere else (especially sensitive areas like face and neck) if you are concerned about skin cancer, also not washing your body after getting sun for vitD increases the absorption
I am vegan and I think I will never eat meat again ever… I believe it is cruel, just not healthy and it is not good for the planet. Love and Peace 🥦🍏🍍🍋🫑🍅🍓🌽🌱🍌🧄🍆🥝🥑🥬🥒🌳
So inspiring...
Lately i've been taking care of my health by going to the doctor for chronic pain... now I want to take a really good care of myself, of my home, without listenning to people telling me that i am probably just delicate. I tried to face my fears, now i am heard, and moving foward. I'm sure that it is already affecting my projects and happiness... Your videos really did take a big part in this decision...
So I wish you both the best, from France 🍁
There's nothing controversial about the topic itself, but I think there was no need to preface it with how people don't eat "real" food anymore/there's not much "real" food anymore etc. A molecule is the same regardless of whether it's naturally occurring or synthesized so it's perfectly fine to take supplements when on vegan/vegetarian diet to make sure everything's in order, and it's just as healthy. Veganism and vegans already suffer from a huge stigma and attacks from the "all-natural"/"real" advocates that fear-monger people into thinking that enriched food/supplements is poison and draw people away from environmentally conscious choices for fear of malnutrition. If you meant the introduction to serve a different context I apologise, but given the title of the video it seems clear it we in relation to veganism/vegetarianism and implied your choice to eat meat was a choice towards healthier/"real" diet as opposed to a personal preference/personal health decision. You also mention how controversial it is and ask for understanding multiple times as if people will come screaming at you for a personal choice, but that's not the case (unless they're just bullies regardless). If there's anything people would be criticizing you for, it's for the inaccurate health information that I pointed at in the beginning - there is no need to portray vegans as irrational bullies.
I still love your videos and glad you made a choice for yourself that felt right. I just felt that the way you presented it seemed misleading and thought I'd express that. I hope it doesn't come off harsh and that you are well!
I've tried going vegetarian a few times in my life and always end up going back to meat because I'm so fatigued when I eat vegetarian. I think everyone's body is different and some people thrive as vegetarians, while others thrive eating meat. Do whatever works best for your body!
I agree! I'm so tired when I don't eat meat.
Same here. I did what I call "part-time vegan" where I ate two vegan meals a day and the third could be whatever (I actually still do this some days by accident - I'm not a huge meat eater as is). I made sure I ate sources of protein, I took iron, B vitamins etc and I eat lots of veggies and fruit anyway. But I felt crappy, and the final point was where the top of one of my nails peeled off like it was a sticker randomly. It's not for all of us.
Maybe the problem lies in some aminoacidic decificiency. I for one still follow a Mediterranean diet and have limited a lot my meat consumption but never felt truly tired when going without it.
While recalibrating my diet towards a more healthy and plant based model I still eat dairy, eggs, poultry and of course (rarely) steaks. Because let's be honest, it's hard to go on without those.
But you're right: guidelines aside, some people are just not built for certain diets
@@TheShhSecret that’s interesting. What you were doing wasn’t part time vegan but actually flexitarian or semi-vegetarianism
I love how you turned off the like and dislike button. It's no one's business what you choose to put in your body especially when it comes to your health. There are going to be a lot of upset people in the comment section who are more concerned about their ideology than the choices and health of the person making the decision.
yea that's a load of bs
I think some people are concerned precisely because the consumption of animal products is not just about personal health. It has an environmental footprint, which impacts everyone, and of course it impacts the animals. With that said, health and eating what makes you feel good is important as well for sure and there are many other ways to be eco friendly.
Eating chicken doesn't improve anyone's health.
@@shle20 good thing you have no right to tell other people what to do because of your personal opinions.
@@shle20 Yeah, tell that to animals that depend on meat
I like your channel so much Julia. You are so kind and genuine. I feel like I'm visiting with a friend. I think of you often and I am sending you all the good vibes. Your food always looks gorgeous too! Thanks for the bonus kitty content!😺😘💞💞
Julia, you are glowing! Supporting you always:)
Was the salad good? It looked delicious. How did you like the chicken? I'm just curious. No judgements. I've been watching your vlogs more and more because you are an authentic person and I'm also a healthy conscious person. Thank you for the content and recipes.
Lol Nick carrying the cat was the best
your food always looks soo good!!
😂😂my favorite and easiest recipe
Boiled beetroots you put them in a container that has a lid and add vinegar till 1/4 of the container and some choped garlic and a little bit salt and can be stored to the frigde for a week or so 😂😂it never stays till a week
When i serving it i add lemon and olive oil to them and this is pure heaven😂😂
Every meal looks delicious! love your channel ❤
Thank you for such a great recepies. Julia, your food serving skills are brilliant. I feel zen watching you cooking
The presentation of your meals is like art! ❤️
Can’t wait to try the salmon recipe!😋 thank you for all the inspiration Julia 🥰
15:48 Julia is all “Stop you guys!” to the kit kats like a typical mom trying to break up fights between the kids and then you hear Nick just laughing like a typical dad does at his kids roughhousing 🤣
😩😩
so excited for this one julia!! :)
I love the breakfast sweet potato spiral dish. I made it today and was surprised how tasty it was, I really think the parsley amped it up!
Your food philosophy is really inspiring. I’m an almost lifelong vegetarian too and have been trying to re-examine my relationship to meat and fish. Being kind to myself is just as important as being kind to the environment and to animals and seeing how you’ve been navigating this really makes me feel more secure in my nutritional choices :)
I agree! I’m not vegetarian, but I would say 4 of 7 dinners of my week is fish or plant-based. I think if everyone tried to cut down on the meat consumption we would already come a long way. Many feel like giving it up completely is too difficult for them, so I often encourage them to switch out a few dinners a week, some of their lunches etc
Yay! That's awesome! I have also been trying to follow this.. I was vegan for 12+ years and a few years ago started eating ALL foods.... it's been really hard and I miss being vegan for ethical/moral reasons. But exactly like you said 'being kind to myself is just as important as being kind to the environment and animals.' I keep having to remind myself of this. It's difficult but it's important for us to take care of ourselves too.
@@felicitybridges677 oh, is has been hard to quit plant-based? 🤔 Go tell this to the masses of animals that are tortured for several months or years, and finally killed so you can enjoy your burger.
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@canariiaaaa for real ! Everyone saying “this choice is better for me” but what about the choices that negatively effect affecting animals as well like it’s not just you that suffering . Also people blaming vitamin deficiencies or health issues on the veganism ridiculous as if people who eat meat and dairy can’t get sick they are likely to! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@SOOTHSAYERVEGA absolutely! In fact, it has been proved that a vegan diet (well structured, with knowledge) is much healthier and prevent deseases🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️.
It sometimes blows my mind how people choose to eat vegan/vegetarian or whatever because of reasons and maybe knowing about animal products and their bad impact in the world but then, when they choose to eat meat again, are totally surprised when people don't like their decision. I myself was vegan for 2 years but sometimes eat fish now, and I know it's bad and people have the right to judge me. You can do whatever you want but don't expect people to accept all your choices. I am 100% convinced that only a small percentage of people truly need meat in their diet. Everyone else is just not interested in changing. And that's fine folks. But don't act like it's such a unique and special thing, almost like your diet is part of your identity. It's not that deep.
I mean... if we're fine with killing fetuses, I have no problem killing animals and eating that yummy meat. Just keeping it a whole buck lmao
@@bigfellamike1913 Jake, don‘t you fucking start with your ‘men telling women what to do with their bodies‘ agenda. You have no right to talk.
Because sometimes you have to change things for your own health and body. She literally explains why. She is also trying to conceive a baby, and she’s noticing she might need some meat in her diet to help with that. There’s lots of reasons. It’s okay to eat whatever you want and change up your diet whenever you want. No one should be shamed or questioned for it tbh
I've actually went vegeterian thanks to you and some other people's influence in 2019 👀 So this was unexpected but you should do what's best for you girll! 💗
ty for the meal inspiration!! ive always loved watching u cook/prepare food idk why it’s relaxing
Can we speak about the cats fighting? HAHAHAHAHHAHA
I love watching you videos ❤️ they make me so happy and give me so much peace. You eating chicken is a personal choice you do you boo 😚 I personally don't eat seafood and I was literally telling my sisters today I want to try salmon and you literally just gave me the perfect recipe 💕 love you lots!
Good for you!Your health is very important and you deserve to be happy and nourished. I've been eating more meat this last year and I feel so much better physically and mentally, it has make a world of difference in my life.
I hope that whatever food you choose to eat sits well with your stomach and makes you feel good! :)

How about vegan
Same hahaha
Don't join the vegan cult
@@spaketticarbonada9651 Wouldn't you reckon it's more cult-like to continue torturing and killing animals for pleasure, millions by the day? That something may be more mainstream doesn't make it the 'right' or 'normal' lifestyle automatically.

i like how some of the chopping went with the music
OMG Julia!!! She's absolutely beautiful! Lovin this new dynamic!
Your food preparation and presentation always makes me feel better about everything, something so everyday and easily mundane you make beautiful and relaxing and i don’t feel the pressure of diets or judgement
I'm sorry but your cats fighting was so funny, my cats do the same. they'll just be sitting next to each other one second and the next they'll square up 😭😭😭😭😭
Love your content so much ! You can never please everyone- thank you for all you do.
Yes and no. Of course you do you. I have a vegan past and at some point I just couldn't pursue my strictly plant-based way. The moment I started to reintroduce meat, my life was better.
Still, eating 🍖 remains a dilemma: Why do we love our pets like family members and still kill others?
I feel that once we have cared enough for ourselves, we should care for the animals, too.
Why breastfeed our babies until they're 5 years old and have cow's milk and cheese that aren't meant for us, from cows that have to watch their calves in small boxes and then are impregnated over and over again?
So basically, I don't understand why people don't rather ditch the dairy instead of the meat.
Welcome back to reality.
We need meet.
We are omnivores!
Case closed.
Next!
PS don't be apologetic for natural things like eating meat.
I suggest you to eat red organic meat if you want a proper nourishment
I 100% believe you can eat a healthy and fulfilling vegetarian or vegan lifestyle - I was pescatarian for 10 years, and have been vegetarian for the past 5 years myself. That being said, I do understand when those people feel they need to incorporate some meat back into their life (can't imagine what it must feel like to eat literal flesh again, but I digress). I appreciate that you still make plant-based meals where you can, and limit your meat intake. I think that's what's most important: that you eat consciously.
My thoughts exactly as a 5 year vegetarian - I truly can’t fathom that I’ll ever feel like eating meat again? But at the end of the day, make informed decisions and do what’s best for you.
Julia you don't have to defend yourself at all. You deserve to make whatever decision suits your life the best. I respect you for literally being you, that's why I love you and your channel. So respectfully, fck what anyone has to say. If it's not positive, let them hate.
I second this💁🏽♀️
eating meat feels so good to my body, and i know it's right for me after recovering from an eating disorder and reintroducing animal products back into my diet. everyone has a personal journey sending love xx
❤️
The Breakfast is called Bratkartoffeln over here in Germany, I also do it with eggs!😋
Edit: I also go out in the sun and naturally "tank" some Vitamin D (without sunscreen) everyday.
PS: Nice fridge/refrigerator lol
Edit #2: I think the French word you are looking for for this ice cream is - Sorbet (pronounced "Sorbe"), which in turn probably is derived from the Turkish / West Asian (Oghur) word Şərvət/Šerbet, which is a cold drink.
Edit #3: Sorry, if my English is bad I'm not a native English speaker or that's not my mother tongue.
I may just not be finding them, but do you have new asmr whisper vids?? After watching\listening to asmr, you are hands down the best. Something about your style/tone/approach/sound of voice is simply the best.
Well there ya have it.
I loved this video. I have depression 😔 and I struggle to even eat sometimes (food will literally gross me out). But you just switched up the narrative for me with this video, so thank you for that Julia!!!!
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with changing your diet. I am vegan and have been for 14 years and I would never push my views on anyone and I think we all can eat whatever we like. Unfortunately when I post my food on IG I get so much hate for my diet. I don’t think we should criticize each other over something as small as food! We all have different preferences and that’s ok.
Great recipes espscially the dinner looked sooo good and i love the homey content🥰🥰
