Funny how the same “concerned” naysayers come back to every video. As if she’s going to change for some random people on the internet 😂👌 It’s pretty obvious she could care less what anyone thinks. Especially since she doesn’t delete comments, or even mention anything about it. She’s so unbothered and I love it.
I love this series! I'm hooked on the cabbage burritos. I prolly sound like a naysayer sometimes cuz I mention different ideas. My diet's pretty similar, but I stay more low carb.
It seems you always eat the same thing everyday, don’t you get bored of eating the same thing? for health reasons I can only eat certain foods and I get bored with it to the point of it wanting to eat at all cause I’m just frustrated with food and eating the same thing
I think she has a lot of variety in what she eats. Yes it’s all plant based but she switches up the fruits & veggies quite a bit. I mean, a lot of people eat a bowl of cereal breakfast everyday, or a sandwich everyday... don’t see how this is much different.
When I starting eating a lot of cantaloupe I felt so amazing! Especially when I ate it in the morning although I never made a smoothie with it. Definitely going to try that!
Cronometer threw up a funny one today! I had a couple of Long Island Iced Teas and I got a great shot of vitamin c from them 😂 no, I am not encouraged to have them on a regular basis. It’s so eye opening generally and I’ve now got The Raw Food Nutrition Handbook and that will really help me increase the vitamins and minerals that I am consistently low on. Thanks, as always xxx
Loving these videos Christine. Thank you so much for sharing. Do you drink those smoothies all by yourself or do you share half with Michael? Is he being inspired by your healthy changes?
I am enjoying learning how get more nutrients in my diet . I have been making smoothies every morning . I have seen a big difference in my energy, digestion, and skin. I feel now I have Developed a habit for my green smooth everyday. I love adding mint , adding basil,and Swiss chard from my garden . I also enjoying eating my Brazil nut . 💛
Good Morning!! Sure enjoying this series! I wanted to ask you how you liked the coconut wraps? I have been wanting to get some! Actually going today to Sprouts to get some and also want to get the coconut chunks. Also I need peaches and apples and the list goes on!! Haha! Thank you for the inspiration!! Hope you have an awesome day! Much love & good vibes to you!! Oh yaaaasss,, Oyster mushrooms I need to add to my list!!!!!! 😘😁❤
OMGosh, I went to Sprouts and they didn't have any oyster mushrooms left and no coconut wraps and no coconut chunks! Bahhh. 😭😩😢 I will have to try Costco 's! I think half the world is following your lead Christine!! Hahaha. I will keep looking though till I find what I need!! 😂😁🤣❤😘💯
I’ve always associated green smoothies with something to choke down because it’s good for you. Well. I made your green smoothie today (minus the ginger - didn’t have any on hand) and omg. It’s actually delicious AND with some chia seeds and frozen coconut it’s so filling too! Thank you so much for bringing us along on this journey with you!
"That's some pretty good period food there" classic :) I've been trying out lots of your ideas from Healing Through Food. Your time has not been wasted sharing it all with us. I had a bad cold last week and your ideas for smoothies really helped. Also you stir fry with oyster mushies and cabbage is my hubbies new favourite meal. Winning!
Could you show us how you determine how much of each food you are eating when you aren't measuring everything? I always feel like I have to measure everything or cook food separately so when I am entering my foods for the day, that they are accurate.
Thank you for the food videos. I finally got a vitamix for Christmas so I am starting to get my veggies in!!! Your videos are very helpful. Been watching you since early 2012! Love your transitions, since that is what life is about. I have developed several different hobbies based on the interest you sparked in me.
i love these videos so much!! even if it's repetitive with some of the recipies. keep them coming!! where do you find the purple potatoes? i'm in canada.
@@feathery_cloud Absolutely! I would never be able to eat that much and stay the weight I am! But perhaps if sugar comes only from fruit, it might not be absorbed in the same way as processed sugar?
Ok you’ve inspired me to try new things. I love your coffee drink recipe and even my husband loves it and he hates coffee. So this morning I tried celery, kale, green apple, orange juice, and water. I strained it because my blender isn’t that great. Then I poured it over ice. It’s sooooo good and now I’m wanting a juicer so I can make more and use oranges instead of oj. I need to rewatch all your videos and write down all your recipes. lol
Angela Ramagos plant and fruit sugar digests differently than processed sugar. Do your research it’s pretty interesting !! I used to wonder the same thing before going plant based myself.
@@MsShannon213 all food have glycemic indexes....and most fruit are high on the index..... fruit digest differently from processed sugar because of the fiber....but still spikes the insulin levels...... just want to know if she's checked her sugars lately..... a lot of people dont! 😜
Angela Ramagos I don’t just because I enjoy fruits and tracking for me made me scared to eat them because of the high sugar content, but I enjoy them fully now. I’m not an expert by any means, but I just have heard your body processes fruit sugar differently than processed sugar and so I don’t freak out about the amount of sugars in fruit 😊😊
I always leave the peel on my organic bananas for my smoothies. I just figure the peel is adding all kinds of great nutrition. I don't notice the peel so why not?
So nutritionally it is always better to have them raw, when cooking you break down proteins and make it so you do not absorb as many of the nutrients because they are broken down as well. In smoothies or salads are better for you because you have a higher chance of getting more nutrients absorbed but it also depends on he freshness of the vegetables and other factors whether you’re getting all the nutrients that the vegetables are supposed to have in them. Surprisingly most frozen vegetables have a higher nutrient value than the “fresh” from the store because they are frozen after being harvested while “fresh” are transported for sometimes long periods of time before getting to the store and then to you cooking them. Just thought I’d share a little info!
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin, any excess vitamin C that the body doesn't use is excreted through the urine, so there is no risk of overdose even if you are taking high dosages 😊
Excess c is flushed out of the body every several hours... high doses of c ... like 50 grams to 80 grams can be taken safely for people with polio, Lyme disease, most vaccine preventable diseases, heart conditions etc... no danger posed ... if you do have too much c, you might get loose stools... so if this persists, you would cut back on c... some doctors who study c, have suggested that most adults need around 3000 mg to 6000 mg per day... but if you are healthy and consuming 800 mg to 1200 mg per day, throughout the day from food sources, that’s sufficient... I currently take 1000 mg tablet supplement with meals usually 3 times a day mostly because I need major healing... but after I return to health, I will probably only supplement if I feel like I’m coming down with something... at any rate, I recommend you check out presentations here on yt by dr humphries and dr levy... c is NOT dangerous
So what? If she likes it and she is getting more than enough of her vitamins minerals and nutrients that are needed. She eats better than the majority of people in the US! If you think it's too boring for you, watch someone else.
@@tracypatterson4320 ...literally nothing to do with you, Miss Busy Body.I dont care for what majority of americans eat,I will let you know when I need you to tell me what to do.Thanks
@@sevcencoroxana I totally agree. And it's well known that this raw or mostly raw approach is really damaging to your gut health. Humans have not evolved to eat so much raw vegetation. And she is eating SO MUCH sugar in the day too. I'm kind of shocked, she used to be one of my favourite vloggers but this approach to food is so bad
It does seem to some that it is same everyday. Each day she is adding in different items as she using them up . I have digestion issue from my gallbladder being removed . I can say getting all that in one drink does help me with my digestion and getting my nutrients . A lot of people eat same food they love . She is enjoying her meals. She giving great information that I need .
I’d like to shed some light for a lot of people with the negative comment of “that’s too much sugar in a day” among other things. A lot of you seem to not have a huge understanding of nutrition I think and go based off the idea sugar is inherently bad and never good. Natural sugars are better for you because they don’t cause the glucose spikes in your body that other processed sugars do. Why? They don’t because they have the addition of natural plant based fiber that keeps you from absorbing as much sugar at once! Fiber is wonderful and rich in Christine’s diet and helps with not absorbing as much sugar but also helps to absorb more nutrients because it takes longer for your body to digest fiber rich foods. Do not judge others diets as wrong for her just because you feel you know everything, nutrition and how you go about it is a very personal thing and between people what we eat will be very different so take what she does with a grain of salt and live your life. Love your videos Christine, wishing you the best!
Some fruits do cause insane glucose and insulin spikes, comparable to processed sugar. Strawberries, watermelon, grapes, and even sweet potatoes are very high on the glycemic and insulin indexes. Especially watermelon and sweet potatoes. It's not always about the amount of sugar but the spike in insulin as well. That's just as important, specifically if you are trying to mitigate any potential for diabetes. For me personally, 200+ grams is too much in one day, regardless of where it comes from.
I need to check again, but the proverbial they did a study on how much is the daily threshold for fruit before it is too much (dr Gregor on nutrition facts covered this) and the people in the study were having something like 24 servings of fruit per day with no spikes ... no problems. Maybe 25 servings is the threshold?
Madison Dana I believe it differs from person to person. I personally cannot have even close to this much fruit. My stomach does not handle it. I would have a flair of candida and insulin issues. I wish I could eat fruit like this.
Loving this series! It really helps me to focus on vegetable/plant based. I'm not a vegetarian/vegan but maybe some day!
U can definitely go vegan a couple days a week...it's easy that way, while u gather up more recipe ideas!
Hey Christine! Loving these! Thanks for all your hard work!
Amanda Tirado me too🙌

That seems like a lot of fructose for one day.
Are you paying attention to your sugar intake? 200 grams is a lot!
It's 214.2 grams. I don't think anyone is able to eat 2kg (2000 grams) of sugar in one day.
Agnesse777 you’re right. Still, that’s a lot of sugar. 25 grams per day is the recommended amount by the World Health Org.

Are the beets raw or cooked?
Period juice thats disgusting.
Whats wrong with loading up on iron with say, spinach, in a smoothie, etc? Obv uve never been doubled over in pain from lack of nutrients in ur diet!!
Fave childhood summertime dessert... cantaloupe half filled with sliced strawberries. Still stuck on it to this day!
Why do Americans use ice and frozen bananas in smoothies, I'm Irish in Ireland and always use bananas that are not frozen and no ice
Yum love smoothies I bought some cherries today also but mine have no taste not sure if it’s because they are start of season
Hi Christine! I'm really enjoying your series, it's so interesting and I get tons of ideas. What water filter pitcher do you use? Thank you!
I love cantaloupe! I’m definitely trying this. Ty.
Christine do you think it is-better to put vegetables in smoothie,eat in salad or cook in olive oil?
Thats a very good question. I'm curious myself

why do you always wash your hands after the banana?
Frozen bananas can be sticky and your hands get covered in little ice crystals
