I have seen many before/after photos of individuals who have transitioned to a plant based diet and it's amazing how much younger they look and there is happiness in the eyes. You look fabulous and thank you for sharing your recipes and wisdom.
Marion Reyes yes! Peoples eyes also become more full of light and much brighter! That is what has convinced me to try this.
Steven Turner , your comment is amazing. It’s a wonder people do anything public knowing the possible responses. Yeesch!
@Eva Green Lover Perhaps, cause you're lonely, dear. You need company, someone to go vegan or raw with.
Absolutely! She doesn’t look 40 at all.
I have also seen people who have malnutrition and are ridiculously thin will no muscle whatsoever
This makes my ❤️ happy!!!
When I gave up eating meat 37 years ago, people thought I was some crazy hippie dippy person. There was no internet, there were no resources. Being vegan in this day in age is easier than ever. I never catch colds, I'm rarely ever sick, and I'm medication free. At my age, that's saying a lot. Most of my friends take a sh*tload of medications, go to different doctors all the time, and still don't feel well. I've always said my diet has contributed to my good health, even though I stopped eating meat for moral, ethical, and environmental reasons.
Keep spreading the word. Thank you!!! 🙂
Thank you for posting this comment Susanna. Its inspiring to hear stories like yours!
I am 60 and I am feeling like 80, I am overweight and I am looking for a diet but nothing really works. So, I think it is on the time to change something drastically! Your enthousiasme convince me to give it a try, and if it helps the animals and our climate…. This is great, I give it a try! Greetings from Switzerland!
How are you feeling now?

My husband and I went vegan 6 years ago and WILL NEVER go back!!! Delicious, exciting, and we feel great. The animals and planet are benefitting greatly as well.
My wife and I had seen Forks Over Knives, and What the Health, but it was actually Game Changers that was the final straw for me. I was 58 and had been a omnivore for most of my life, and my wife has been a vegetarian for her most of her life. What the Health did a great job of showing how much health deception is out there and Game Changers solidified that. We've both been on a WFPB lifestyle for a year and a half now, and the benefits have been amazing. We both went from overweight to healthy weight within the first three months. We try to tell our friends about it but no one wants to know. They are horrified about giving up meat and dairy. It's kind of sad that even when we tell people that their type 2 diabetes is curable with a diet change, they still won't give it up. We focus on learning new ways to cook great meals and we are really focusing on growing as much vegetables as possible in our new garden beds. It's amazing how much the meat and dairy industry has lied to people about the reality of the damage that animal protein does to our bodies. We are doing this for our health, but it's nice to know that it's a lifestyle that's good for the planet, and good for the animals. We're big fans of Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr Gregor, Dr Fuhrman, Dean Ornish, Dr Barnard. Your RUclips channel has been a great source of recipes. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I am happy that you are having such great success and really understanding why the WFPB lifestyle is so powerful. Just being the example will help others to come around eventually 😊
Ditto! Same amazing journey for my husband and me!🎉
SO happy for you all...am 60 and feel great...on ZERO meds and am at my high school weight...have been eating WFPB since 2010 but had been approaching it beforehand. Also, have not needed a sick day from work in over 12 years...it WORKS!
Congratulations! And keep on the good work.
valnaples me too me too, 66 here
Good Lord! That’s great! God bless you
You look amazing, I have also decided to go plant based whole food. Just to stay healthy and maintain a healthy weight. I am pushing 70. It has only been 1 month for me. I enjoy cooking, so watching you in the kitchen preparing those delicious meals looks like fun. Thank you so much for the great information.
You are lucky to have your husband and your kids doing this with you. Men, usually, are very opposed to plant based diet; very few people are willing to try my food, but when they try it they are amazed. One of my best friends from Las Vegas resents me when I talk with him about the benefits of eating more fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds; he does the opposite and I feel so sorry for him.
In my family I went vegan first and my wife, children, mom and various other family members saw my transformation first hand and followed suit.
Don't feel sorry for him. He's a grown man who can make his own choices. To push him would be controlling. I'm a nurse & I spent many years trying to help people who did not want to give up anything to be healthy. That's their prerogative. I only give my time & expertise to open minded people who want to do better in life.
Thank you for sharing your journey! My husband and I were plant based and super healthy for 10 years. Then, due to pressures from family members, went down the slippery slope of some unhealthy habits…added dairy back in, occasional meat, eggs, snacks, alcohol and in just a few years our health plummeted….stomach and digestive issues, weight gain, high blood pressure, cholesterol, stress, etc. We decided to go back to what we knew was best for us and 3 months later, all of our health issues have cleared up! So much more energy, healthy weight now…no more digestive issues and feel and look ten years younger! I’ve had people who I haven’t seen for a while tell me how nice I looked and have asked me what I was doing differently. So there’s proof….this whole foods plant based diet really works. Most people don’t want to make the changes but if they knew how much better you could feel….they would be shocked.
I’m always happy for the cows, when people give up meat 👍
Actually I gave up meat when it happened I worked in a dairy organic farm. I was so ignorant....
Me too! The biggest health benefits are for the animals. They get to live.
It's not the animals per se, but the planet. Animal farming harms the whole planet.
@@judylloyd7901 yes going vegan benefits all animals
@Wally Watts wrong!
I've been on a plant based diet, mostly raw, for 5 months now and it's been absolutely phenomenal! !! The benefits I've experienced are: weight loss, more energy, reduced stress, mental clarity, a feeling of calmness and well being, bags under my eyes gone, dandruff disappeared, aches and pains gone, improved eyesight, no body odor, no stool odor, fatty tumors disappearing/shrinking
fantastic!
Wow, what kind of veges you consume?
Hi @eandatoo Are you still on a plant based diet?
I've been Vegan 35 years now. Just found your channel (Aug 2019) and think its awesome great work.
What the Health turned me vegan right then and there when I watched last December. I was so angry at all the lies I was fed and believed about "humane" dairy and chicken that I cleaned out my kitchen after the movie. The improvement in my health: cholesterol shot down, brain fog that I lived with for decades is gone, skin is clear and glowing, eyes are bright and sometimes, I have so much energy that I have trouble sleeping at night (yes, I need to exercise harder). I get asked if I would ever go back to consuming anything with animal flesh or secretions and with an emphatic "no", they realize I miss nothing. There is a delicious plant-based substitute for anything I crave whether it's cheese, ice cream, butter or chicken. Plant-based options are endless! Thank you for your channel! Look forward to making some of your recipes!
That's fantastic Diana! You are a great example for people =)
Thank you, Jill! Takes one to know one!
What the Health is a great documentary.
What's the butter substitute
@@chillydawgg4354 Earth Balance is my favorite plant-based butter
Old timer vegetarian here who was influenced by the following: "Diet for a small planet" by Frances Moore Lappe; working as a summer custodian during college at a local Seventh Day Adventist Hospital and being impressed by the healthy lifestyle I witnessed there; having a bit of a crush on my college English professor who first showed me that vegetarians live normal, happy, healthy lives. Fifty years later and still feeling great and enjoying good food! Love your channel!!!
I read Diet For a Small Planet when I was in college and it was my catalyst for change. Very thought-provoking book!
@@flenzy The book was very popular back in the day. Glad you were able to make the change!
@@mikesnyder1788 One thing that really stood out was how much food you can grow on an acre of land vs. how many acres it takes to raise a small amount of cows.
@@flenzy Yes, the statistics are there for anyone to read if they are willing to do the research. Going vegetarian is one small way to heal the earth. Regards...
This was great thank you. We started by watching “ What The Health” we have been vegan for 3 months. My husband has heart problems ,high blood pressure and diabetes. Since on the diet he has gone off one of two of blood pressure meds. He lost 30lbs also he has gone from taking insulin daily to once a week or every other week depending on his cheating. Thanks Judy
Judy Dubinsky
That is fantastic!!!🤗I am so happy for you 👍
That's great to hear! So many give up and try not to add more medications rather than fortifying their bodies and reversing their conditions.
Can u please tell what you did to control ur diabetes?

“Only 40 at the time”. My goodness, you honestly look in your early 30s on this video! You just convinced me going vegan for good! I’m 41 and look at least 50! 🥬🥗🥙🍠🥔🌶
This is great to hear! Good luck 🙂
@ Ben Tolosa did you give it a try yet? How did it go fo you?
It’s so refreshing to find someone on RUclips near my age (I’m 41) who is plant based! I wanna get back to it... I was plant based for 2 years and loved it... but then the last year and a half I’ve had dairy and eggs... and have felt horrible!!! Thank you for inspiring me to get back with it!!
My husband, 7 year old son and I are seriously considering becoming vegetarians, I'm going to have to look into these book recommendations now. Thank you for sharing, I'm a cancer survivor, but not out of the woods yet as diabetes runs in my family, and I am overweight. So please send good vibes my way as we work our way to a more healthy lifestyle. :)
That is fantastic Geri! Another great book from Dr Michael Greger: How Not to Diet. All of his books are fantastic and I trust him 👍
Hope u are doing good . 🎊🎊
5 years 3 months here and quit cigars too. My family had to learn to cook for themselves. Quit coffee. The hardest part was learning to cook without oil or toxic pans. The red ceramic cast iron Lodge pot was my salvation. It’s my go to pot for everything. Thank you Dr Fuhrman! 🙏
I love the way you talk, it's very calm.
Was just about to say that too :)
The heavy meat eaters are the ones who get loud and emotional. This gal sounds like easy-going girl next door.
Actually... I just realised that is quite common trend with vegans, they are more calm, more thoughtful. The same happened with me, my voice changed from loud, sharp and nervous... into calm, powerful but soft in the same way. That's the way to go!
Me too! :-)
Additionally, the fact that she is so pretty is a bonus.
43???? You look amazing! Your skin is literally glowing!
a knockout really.
Whole food plant based CHANGED my life in the first 7 days.. I didn't slowly, I went all in! The first 3 days I felt sluggish, (the detox) and then after that amazing! Insomnia, after 7yrs is GONE! I go into REM sleep fast and stay in it. I wake up actually wanting to do things in the morning!!! My hair is beyond amazing.. Thanks to the computer age it's a LOT easier and it actually is CHEAPER!!
Love ur playlists
I am 43 years old and have made the concious decision to follow a vegan diet for long term health. Your video here is encouraging and I appreciate the informational books you shared and your personal story. You are very inspiring. 😊
I've been vegan for over 10 years, and I was whole foods plant based for the first 3-4 years out of necessity because the vegan products weren't so good. As all these cool vegan restaurants and vegan processed foods started coming out, I've been eating too much processed food. Now I'm trying to make the transition back to WFPB, but it's really hard. I hope your soothing voice can keep me on the straight and narrow :)
MightyHungry
Love your screen name👍. Thank you for your kind words. Good luck on your journey 🤗
+daisy molina Veganism is a lifestyle centered around reducing animal cruelty as much as practicable, which extends beyond diet. A vegan can eat oreos and vegan junk food since it doesn't harm animals, or they can choose to eat whole foods plant based to maintain or improve their personal health. There are some who are plant-based for health reasons and they may be consumers of leather products, wool, etc.
MightyHungry Ugh! Same here. I started indulging in vegan processed food. I have Chrons disease...so my joints really started hurting...its a blessing and a curse. I've been back to eating strictly WFPB. This is only the 3rd day but my joints feel better! Also putting Turmeric on everything and in everything except fruit of course. Blessings to you as you put your nose to the grind stone again😊
I became a vegetarian at the age of 20 years old when I was in college. I'm 71 years old now and became plant base 8 years ago. I maintain a 32 " waist,I have no grey hair, I have tons of energy and people think I'm in my mid 30's. People say I'm an alien because I haven't changed my looks that much. I'm really thankful for the internet, because when I first became vegetarian it was very difficult going to a restaurant, books for recipes were hard to find and it was a life style and journey which I enjoyed doing. Good for your family that you took the journey. When I started at the age of 20 years old my family and friends thought I was crazy. It's a cleaner life style and I even make my soap. I love the way people can't believe that I'm 71 and they tell me that I look like I'm I'm my mid 30's.
Love your book and your show.
Thanks again

That is FANTASTIC Liam
I enjoyed this video . I watch What The Health and I changed overnight I've been on this lifestyle for almost 3 months. I feel great.
I did the same after watching What the Health, went vegan overnight. So far it's been just two months for me but I definitely feel so much better and finally broken through a weight loss plateau.
Amanda it's awesome to see other people who did the same. I quick cold turkey also after watching it. Which was crazy for me but it's almost been 2 months now and I can honestly say there's more energy and flexibility. Will see how long I can keep it up
What the health did it for me overnight as well.
That documentary didn't change me overnight....but I went to drink some milk and the scene when the calf was drinking it's mothers milk flashed through my mind...I almost threw up...this is the second day I've been on a whole foods plant based diet....it's crazy how it makes you GAIN energy when you eat now, vs feeling fat slow and tired after you eat meat.
I watched it too! Woke up vegan! Lol
Its only been a week for me, but feels great
Throughout my 20s I ate terribly. Fast food, frozen dinners, whatever was quick and easy. I never really thought twice about it. When I was around 28 I felt a huge desire to change a lot of things in my life, including the way I ate. I started by completely cutting out red meat. So, I would just eat chicken. As time went on I not only felt ethically wrong eating chicken but it just really didn't taste good to me. It became a very strange thing to eat as I became more aware and conscious of what I was eating. I'm 32 now and, although I'm far from perfect, I don't eat meat at all. I don't even miss it. I don't think a lot of people realize (like myself at one time) that your taste buds change. What you once craved won't even be appealing to you anymore. It just takes commitment and work. Thanks for sharing your personal story and for sharing recipes with us. The more recipes and ideas I have the easier it is to keep on track with my plant based journey :)
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is inspiring to hear other people coming through and being a positive influence for others! Great Job! =)
I have been lacto vegetarian since 1994. I only eat cheese but will give vegan cheese a chance, this will be my new year's resolution. I do not have overweight, heath problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, nor wrinkles. I can imagine when i become vegan. I am 44 and everyone says that i do not look a day over 30.😁
@edith pdlp so how did you like the vegan cheese? 😜
@@epdlp4506 Kite hill has a tasty almond based cream cheese YUMM
I noticed when I restarted this journey last week, anytime I ate processed vegan food I bloat and wake up sore and achy. But the days I ate mostly whole foods with the exception of maybe nut butter and hummus I felt great. The scales were showing it, my body didn't hurt as much and I felt like I could do things I haven't been able to do for some time.
The difference is incredible.
You look fabulous. I agree with everything you talk about. I am also whole plant based. Our food choices do make a difference in our health. Meat and dairy introduces infections into our bodies that aren't present in plant based foods, keeping us healthier than we have ever felt. Sending you loving thoughts from California on your whole plant based journey.
I'm transitioning my family on a whole food plant based diet. for 2020. my 7and 9 yrs old. are ok so far
I think they’ll love it
I did the same thing after reading the same book 4 years ago. I lost over 70 pounds. Thanks so much for sharing your story and your cooking.
LOL, if you ate in moderation to begin with you wouldn't have had to lose 70 lbs...LOL ....and you blame your fatness on meat.
@VegeTrends great job!!! Were you able to keep off the 70 pounds? How is your health now?
Happy upcoming Birthday! I'll be 60 Dec 4th, and just going into my 10th month WFPB. There have been bumps in the road, but only adds to the determination for better health! Living on such a tight budget is challenging,; I am fortunate to live in a community with great resources. Thank you for sharing your journey thus far. I enjoy your videos.
Such a sincere and real testimony! I am currently pregnant with my first child at 35, started "underweight" according to the doc so I felt a lot of pressure to reintroduce what i call "weight gain" foods like meat/dairy but my body and baby rejected them immediately. Lesson learned! Morning sickness is the babys way of getting you to make better choices!! If you feel like crap after u eat, stop and look at your meal. A whole food, plant based, gluten free diet is what my baby demanded and im so grateful to be back on track.

Fantastic, congratulations. This is the best thing you can do for you and your baby 😊
I think you are a remarkable asset to the vegan community! I love your videos. Thank you! 🌱
7 years vegan! Watched Forks Over Knives with the hubbs and we decided to try it for a month. Within the first week, like you, we were believers. We never looked back!
I just purchased the book! I can’t wait to start this new lifestyle
Steven Sushi
That is fantastic Steven!
Impressed. I met Joel Fuhrman at a convention after seeing Joe Cross' film. I became vegan and highly recommend it. I lost 150 lbs seven years ago, and have kept it off. I feel great.
Hi. I have watched a lot of your videos and I must say I enjoy trying some of the recipes. I in the was vegan than fell off the veggie truck and started eating animals lol. I felt awful. Now I am glad to now say I am back on veggie truck now for 2 weeks and eating WFPB. and feeling great. My husband says I look great since I lost weight. I was a 18 size now I am a 10. I feel amazing. Thank you for your inspiration.
I’ve fallen of the veggie wagon before, don’t feel bad. I liked that I felt the difference almost immediately. I had started my journey in eating a WFPB diet on October 2019, right before the holidays. My mom and I both did it for her health and I wanted to try with her. We both started feeling great in a matter of weeks. Her arthritis and even asthma symptoms began to disappear. My back pain and headaches and acne started to go away. When I ate a little bit of meat and dairy desserts during Christmas 2019 (my mom didn’t, she was strong), I felt it the next day. I got a headache and felt achy (that’s inflammation). Got back on the wagon the following week and the pain avoidance has been my motivation.
3 full years on whole plant based vegan diet...it’s a pure miracle!! I’m 55 but feels as in my 20’s, 💯 healthy and I’m really looking better then 10 years ago. No fear for any virus 💚🤗
Congrats on your 3 year journey, I’ve switched to a whole food plant based diet for 3 weeks now, love it so far!!!
My husband and I watched WTH on April 30th and halfway through he went to the freezer and threw out meat and eggs and milk and eggs. So may 1 we went shopping and our eyes were opened to so many other things that are healthy and in the regular grocery store. We have both felt better than we ever have and we lost ten pounds. We found vegan restaurants and way better healthy options. Thank you for your channel, I love to cook and need more ideas for meals
That's great! Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your journey! My website is full of tried and tested recipes =)

@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow First off, I would like to thank you and praise you for sharing your own personal life success with those people who are experiencing a healthy lifestyle for the first time in many years. You truly have demonstrated a love for yourself and family, but most importantly a love for your fellow mankind, (a very selfless act). I must say, you look amazingly healthy! Life is so very simple, but yet man has found ways to make it more complicated, because of his arrogance, lies, deceit, manipulation, pride, and mostly his greed. What's most interesting is that our (Heavenly Father Yahweh), made our bodies naturally to consume live breathing whole food plant based, that He made for us, and yet we consume so much processed dead foods which sit on supermarket shelves almost forever, and wonder why we have to take so many stupid medications, (Big Pharma loves us for our stupidity). Scriptures tell us to pray, to read His word, to fellowship, like we are through this communication, and yet we deny Yahweh in our lives, because of the food choices we make. We are so brainwashed in the namesakes of the almighty profits of greedy mankind. Scriptures also tell us that, blessed is he who believes and doesn't see. I say these things with the utmost respect for you and the many testimonials that I have had the privilege to witness too. I have been researching for more than over 30 years of my life and always keep coming back to what Yahweh has provided for us. I personally have experienced the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, (Clint Eastwood) of most diets and supplements. I just turned 59 a month ago and feel rather pretty good, but I know the best will come, when I decide to go all WFPB. People still need to know that there are those that have experienced what they have. I must also confess, that the Fasting that I do really helps me in maintaining the high energy levels. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and learning from one of my favorite speakers as well, Dr. Joel Fuhrman including the likes of Dr. John McDougall, Dr. David Perlmutter, J J Virgin and Dr. Amy Meyer.
Your voice is so easy to listen too & luv your message too!
Nice video and thanks for the other resources. A year ago I was hospitalized with IBD and vomiting for 5 days while doctors ran tests, tested polyps and told me I have gastritis, a hiatal hernia, IBD and a defective artery to my stomach. Long story short, I quit my job as I was so sick, which meant we had to live on less. Meat was unaffordable, so I began cooking all our meals without meats. I researched recipes and stumbled on whole food plant based videos. A little more than a year later after adopting this new lifestyle, my achy knees don't ache, nore do my toes or hands. I have lots more energy and no acne. The IBD is under control.
Chris L
That is fantastic Chris! 👏👏👏👏
I love eating WFPB. I started with Dr Fuhrman and found Christina Fully Raw along the way. It was a long transition for me to go from SAD to WFPB. it took me whole year to go 100%. I'm so thankful for all the people who go on RUclips and share the message of eating really good food ..... I'm loving veggies every day now. The more greens I eat the better i feel.
Congrats on the switch Paulette! Happy for you!
valnaples thank you! Nothing feels as good as healing through food.
Thanks for this! And thanks for your recipes, I 've tried a few and dug them.
I've eaten WFPB for about 15 years, and I don't even think about the health benefits anymore. Just the sheer amount of amazing tastes and textures anyone can create and crave.
I applaud your family's efforts and will keep watching this channel.
I am happy I found your channel my family started the diet 4months ago. We feel great, I got rid of my migraines. Hugs
Thanks!
You look fantastic! I’ve been vegetarian for 8 years but eating way too much sugar. I’m overweight and diabetic. Just started eating this way today and I’m amazed after just one day how much better I feel. Love your videos.
Tina Lemna keep it up! Eating whole food plant based is so worth it!!
Bree Schmidt I know, eggs and cheese have kept me from being plant based for 8 years. No cheese or eggs for over a week now. 👍🏻
Please stick with it. You won't regret it.
Tyler Olsen having a very difficult time cutting back on sugar
Eat a ton of fruit! I murk bananas when I get a sweet tooth. Also. Dude I blender.. if there's any food you don't like the taste of just blend it all together and add flavors and you can make it taste like whatever you want. Life hack
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, my husband had colon cancer surgery a week ago and we just watched What the Health.
Oh my gosh quite a amazing transformation, love your show and food!
I have been plant based for 2 yrs, I do not eat vegan junk food and have yet to lose more than 5 lbs. I cycle daily 20- 30 miles I work out with weights every other day and have changed shape quite a bit but still no weight loss....I feel fabulous and my husband has lost 30 lbs and feels awesome too...I am perplexed by my weight I am 5' 8" and weigh 184...I guess my point is that even if you dont lose all the weight you want your body will thank you for making the change . For those who wish to give advice please note that I do no oil, sugar, salt or processed foods.
Do you follow Dr Fuhrman’s recommendations? He has a good pyramid
Thanks for sharing. I will also share this video on my Facebook.. i also went vegan cold turkey. Surprisingly it was easy for me .. your videos have helped me on my journey.. so thanks. Ive been vegan now for almost 3 years . The key is preparation.
I'm confused. But not about your journey. Just how anyone could dislike this. This info is gold. You're proof that this lifestyle works and is possible. You look great. Way to go! Thank you for sharing your journey. It's motivated me to begin my own.
Tina Segura
Thank you Tina🤗
Hello Jill: Thank you so much for your vids and testimony. As a plant-based dietitian and eater I use your recipes myself and for my patients. They are so inspiring and help us to keep this lifestyle going in order to reach our health goals. Thanks again!! Martin
Martin WFPB RD
Thank you so much for your kind words Martin🤗
When regular people such as yourself do this it gives credibility to this way of eating. Or as Dr. Fuhrman says, "this diet style" . I show them your vids and tell them how you are doing this to avoid the problems they already have! The recipes are easy and the food is delicious too. Keep up the great work!! Martin
Great hearing your personal health journey. I always feel an individual
has achieved a spiritual growth when learning to eat correct.
I wasn't aware of the health benefits when I became a vegetarian at age 14. It was more so a feeling thing. Which lead to
being a vegan at 24-yrs-old. Got 50-
years in now. And going strong. It's
really true -- "the truth shall set you
free."
Thank for sharing! This show that normal people can turn to vegan lifestyle without being sick in the first place? You will look and feel better!
I am a diabetic with the same plan in mind. I find controlling the carbs is hard so I really have to do more work but it with it. your calm spirit. is very soothing
That's really awesome! I am three months into this lifestyle and loving how I feel so far!
I love how you use the word plant-based, and nutritarian and THOSE are the words I use too. Its the most descriptive and specific. Glad you are doing this now to get people to consider a change so they can have a GREAT 2020.
This is my first video of yours I've watched. Fuhrman and Kristina are my two top influences!!! So awesome! Love it!
Good presentation. Been a vegetarian since 2013 after seeing Forks Over Knifes. Lost about 10 pounds after stop eating meat. After watching What The Health, I am now transitioning to be a vegan. Like you said in the video, I used to wake up with aches and pains. The aches and pains went away after starting my vegetarian diet. I’m 63 now and feel great.
Wow I've just this minute found you and I think your fab! I'm 38 and I was vegetarian/Palm oil free for a year and a half and now have been on a planet based/vegan diet for just 3months along with my 3yr old daughter. Everything you have said in this short video I can completely relate with! My 3yr has made the transition from meat to veggie to planet base very well. I feel amazing have a spring in my step a sparkle in my eyes and my joint problems and inflammation and water retention has all gone!! I ordered 4 vegan cookbooks and am having to learn a complete new way of eating but it's fun learning it! If you said to me two years ago that I would be planet based/vegan/Palm oil free then I would of laughed at you!!! People often challenge my new found eating habits but I just say it's amazing and research it....oh and your talking to someone who's had anorexia in my late teens early 20's and I've also binged ate on crisps, chocolate, lots of sugars etc etc for years....Now I'm slowly losing weight and loving my life which if I'm honest is the first time in many many years that I can truly say that. Love, light and blessings to you and thank you 🌛🌝🌜💜🌸💜🌸💜xx

That is Fantastic Beth! Keep up the great work and I wish you luck in your bright future 🤗
Hey thanks for this reflection on your plant based journey! and I love the before and after photos, you looked good in both, but so much leaner in the latest one!
Wow!! Thank you for sharing and showing us it is a choice and a lifestyle! I love your recipes and your videos! Thank you once again.
I transitioned to a plant based lifestyle 38 years ago because of a health issue. I began with Macrobiotics which is not a fully plant based regime but can be as it was with me. While the health benefits began to appear within a few months it took longer before the full effect of eating plant based was evident. Now at 70+ years of age I'm still plant based, however my family is not so in our home we do make two meals but I do a lot of my own cooking. I congratulate you on being able to trasition to a plant based lifestyle as a family. This is something that will be a challenge for many families as it was for ours. Having said that, I recommend that if you have younger children getting them started on a plant based life style early will make it much easier for them to stay plant based without having to do so later in life.
Great advice Marvin 👍
Just watching from the Krocks in the Kitchen interview video.
I'm so grateful to and for you!!! I've been on this journey.....off and on....a few years. The way I look and feel ON it - SO amazing. I know people ask "if you feel so great why did you stop"? Life, convenience, changes in numbers of family members which made me tend to go back to "cheaper" foods. Many reasons. BUT I'm back on the path and appreciate all you share!!

That is such great news! Is there a favorite food you enjoy that I can make a recipe for?
I’m new to a WFPB diet, hoping to fix Graves’ disease, thanks for putting your recipes & ideas here, it really helps when you are new & looking for inspiration
Me too with graves disease. How r you feeling?
Thank you for this! I went vegan in 2016 for 2.5 years. I did well initially, during the first 3 mos., but then moved out of the country for work and didn’t have much time to cook...also, vegan options were scarce in London. They’ve have come a long way in just 4 years...anyhow, I relied a lot on vegan processed food and junk food and nuts/cashew-based sauces. Needless to say, I gained 20 lbs and gave up in 2019. I went back to eating eggs and salmon and was actually disgusted each time I ate. I decided to try it again two weeks ago and am soooo motivated to do low-fat WFPB this time. So far, feeling amazing!! Your oil-free dressings have been GAME CHANGERS! Thank you 🙏🏽
That’s fantastic Becca! 😉
Simple yet informative
I’m feeling very motivated now.
Thank you. 💕
Hubbs Harry and I both went totally plant based vegan January 01, 2018, WE LOVE it! I have lost a lot of weight without counting calories, etc. The weight is just falling off because of changing my diet. I already did not use salt, or eat processed, fast, canned etc. foods. I had to because of my heart disease - AND IT IS NOW REVERSED. I need NO more blood pressure meds. Thank you, and G-d bless!

That is so wonderful! I am so happy for you both 🤗
Enjoyed finding you here on RUclips today. 😊 How wonderful that your whole family went plant-based and you are all experiencing radiant health. I am a mom, 58, and 8 years plant-based.. Looking forward to checking out your recipes!
I'm totally new to this vegan lifestyle. Just started eating delicious foods from the Utuber I discovered. Her food tastes amazing. Yes already.Especially her taco pizza and chocolate oatmeal with fruit. She's ....Hungry Vegan Mama....she lost 50lbs and I hope ppl are open to watching her too. She's got allot of knowledge and recipes. Will check out yours too now
Congrats! I love that more and more people are finding this lifestyle! It's been amazing for my family as well. All the best to you!
I am such a fan!!! Thank you for all your posts and recipes!! i am so grateful for your your insight!!!
This is so encouraging!! Thanks so much for sharing your story and your recipes!!
I clicked on the link and watched because of the dramatic change in appearance of the thumbnail picture. I guess it is really true you are what you eat!
I've slowly started going plant based.

That’s great 😃
Just starting whole plant based mostly raw, I’m very hopeful that I can stick to this and glad I just found your channel
I just joined your site, I bought three books and I am excited, I want off my blog meds
I felt the difference in a week after fully converting (I'm a year older than you btw). My energy skyrocketed from feeling very sluggish. My sleeping improved tremendously and my focus at work got even better especially after lunch. My blood pressure has also improved a lot and stress is pretty much gone. And just like you said coffee has totally become unnecessary but I still have my morning cup with Silk's Almond Creamer. Everyone should do this.
Living in California we are in plant based paradise because we have easy, year round access, to affordable fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains.
Were vegetarian beginning in 1975 when my husband who was a runner suggested it, and by the mid 1980's we realized we were vegan/plant based without even realizing it. About the only non fresh items we buy are canned jackfruit, frozen fruits and some nut butters from Trader Joe's.
Which is why I wince when I see some vegan RUclips channels doing taste tests of processed vegan foods. Since we have known to many new vegans/plant based folks who were tempted to go back to dairy and eggs, until they were reminded that the processed vegan items or recipes they were eating all the time were NOT healthy, just vegan.
I see that the comments are a few years old so not sure you are going to see this but I just wanted to say "thank you so so much" for sharing your story. You are so beautiful and radiate health. And you are so right about vegan foods - most of the time they aren't the most healthy....eating whole plant foods will always be the best choice. Thank you so much for sharing with us :) BTW I've been plant-based for decades (for ethical/environmental etc reasons...having great health was a bonus :)
Thank you Trish 😊
Thanks for sharing really enjoy your channel, my wife and I have been Plant Based for 6 months ....the only way to go:)
This is where I'm laned now in my journey, just gave up eggs and chicken, were the lat things to give up, I love your recipes, thank you! I'm doing this.
What a wonderful journey!! Thank you for sharing!!
I am so excited. I haven’t fully transitioned. But, I am hoping by this time next year I will have fully become a pescatarian. Already after 2 weeks I am feeling better, I’ve lost 4 pounds and am so excited for my future. I’m 61.
Just a GREAT installment! As we've all learned, having the information is rarely enough to succeed, and learning by your family's example is encouraging and validating. Thanks so much, and please, keep posting more =)
Tks, just purchased 2 of your books 💥
You are right, there is alot of conflicting ways to eat and the Internet can be your worst enemy or your best friend,the irony of it all whether high protein,high fat,or high carb diet,the common denominator,is for the diet to be long term,it includes whole plant based food for health longivity!
I've been about 95% plant based with enough meat so I get vital nutrients naturally, which you really dont need much at all. I feel fantastic and am so happy you are doing well also!
Jess Dodge There are no vital nutrients in meat. If you’re worried about protein, don’t be. There is more than enough protein in veggies, grains, legumes, etc. If you’re worried about B12, just take a supplement or eat fortified cereals.
Amazing transformation, proof that our food is our medicine when eaten with respect and intent. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to share your information and recipes. My family went plant based just a few months ago and have appreciated your education, receives, and calming voice. You make everything seem easy!
Teresa Pacelli
Thank you Teresa for your kind words. Great job doing it all together! 👏👏👏👏👏
Go girl! I'm new to your channel, and I'm loving it. I just bought the Eat to Live book, thanks to you!
Jenna Lemieux
Fantastic 👍
Great to hear your teenagers were on board Vegan diet. God bless you and your family. Lets save the planet for next generations to come.
tina smith
Absolutely 👍👏👏👏
Everyone should watch the documentary on RUclips called
' Earthlings '.
April Marie Art ...I was a meat eater before that documentary. I couldn't even make it half way through the video before I said, _That's it, no more meat._ That was six years ago and I never looked back or felt the urge to eat meat.
Right on! This movie shows the real reasons why every decent human should adopt a vegan lifestyle. The obvious health benefits are just a bonus!
I tried to watch the documentary but couldn't, because I was getting too angry and sad after going through a few parts for a couple of minutes. People who can watch the whole thing or even some parts more than a few minutes must be very strong. Unfortunately, I'm not that strong.
Earthlings took me from excessive meat eater (pet lover) to Vegan ANIMAL lover INSTANTLY. I am now Vegan, feeling AMAZING.
Or dominion on youtube!
Thank you so much for all your information and inspiration. I have just started eating this way again for the second time because i didn't know what to cook my family didn't want to not eat meat.I Love your recipes so good. Thanks you.
Lady, I thought you were in your 20's! I'm in!
OOooooh, that is so sweet. Thank you !
So happy I found your channel! I've been vegan for almost 3 years. Best decision ever! Now I'm finding I'm drawn to cook & eat Whole Foods Plant based.
Thank you so much for sharing this 👍🏻😊
You have been a real inspiration to me and I have used MANY of your recipes. YOU are a great resource!
