Anyone wondering if Tia’s cheese sauce is good, I am here to say IT’S DELICIOUS!!!! I’ve tried many different plant based cheese sauces and they left me flat. This will not disappoint!!! 😀
I started on a vegan diet before my hubby too. He really got interested when we went for a hike and I left him in the dust. I had so much energy. We watched The Game Changers and Forks over knives and he was sold. He switched about a month after me.
Thanks for saying "you have to have a calorie deficit to lose weight". I have been vegan for 7 years and I'm 50 lbs over weight. I can definitely overeat on vegan food. A can of beans is 500 calories. Pair that with tortillas, vegan cheese, guacamole and you're easily at 1200 calories. I can eat that for one meal easy. Throw in some vegan oreos or chips and you're not in a calorie deficit. When people say "rabbit food", well they haven't met this chubby bunny!
I'm WFPB but my husband isn't. He normally eats what I make but adds meat on the side (which he buys and makes). Since I only became vegan 6 years ago and we've been married 31 years, it's what works for us.
This video is so great! Also the video where you talked about quitting alcohol. So many times I’ve struggle to stay on a wfpb diet and failed. I had to reset my motivation and put my foot down in the house with my husband and daughter constantly buying/eating junk food and going out to eat. I had to focus solely on my own progress and not worry about getting the whole family on board. I announced I was doing a 90 day challenge and so far they have been more supportive than in the past. It’s day 40 and I’m doing great!! Almost feels natural now to eat my go to meals and without having to worry if my husband will moan and groan has been a pure blessing lol. Thanks you Tia for these relatable videos. Honestly so good to hear we’re all struggling and succeeding together.
FYI, link to lentil marinara in description goes to an error page. Great solutions in this video!! Ive been playing with vegetarian/vegan for years, switched overnight two weeks ago due to a health issue and unwillingness to be doped up all the time with prescriptions, and OMG the improvement in JUST 17 DAYS!!! Loving your channel, your recipes, your ideas - but mainly your kind, fun, friendly spirit. So glad to have found you the same time I switched over! ❤
Thank you for posting. I was just talking with one of my friends and he was encouraging me to stick with it. I told him my hardest sticking point is marrying eating vegan all the time and never having seafood. I just have to change my mindset.
I have increased my intake of fruits, veggies, grains, beans, etc. That comprises about 90% of my diet but I have a weakness for fish and might incorporate that into my diet once in a while.
I just meal prep on my day off and eat off it all week long. I also freeze fruit for the week so it’s not lost in the back of the refrigerator and going bad and that works for me
I am a vegetarian, (quickly) transitioning over to veganism. If anyone asks me why I eat this way, I will be proud to tell them the truth: "I do it for the animals" (or might say "for ethical reasons"). And of course, improved health is a large benefit as well. I LOVE your videos...I just found you the other day (new subscriber). I don't like to cook and I like to keep everything in my life simple....you have so many great ideas and offer such great advice. Thank you!! 🥰
Thank you so much . My family is succeeding because of your tips . MY favorite tip was to have the tall jars in refridge ready to go with healthy options . 😊❤️
That's my thoughts, they don't want to be cause they are comfy with the bad habits but then it's not fair I know its bad and I'm still cooking bad stuff for them... so hard and not nice of me as a mommy but I can't force them either so I was stuck... thank you
This video was great. You show how invested you are in this and how much you care and want to help others. You also gave more personal details from your own experience which was inspiring. Thank you!
Hi Tia! I've discovered your channel a while ago and really love your videos! I'm a vegan and have been wanting to lose weight for years now but every time I try, I give up after a week or two (mostly after having a binge eating moment).. especially now it's not easy for me as I'm a mum of a 10 month old and it's really stressful with him, and I don't really have much time to cook fresh and nutritious meals for weight loss.. I've bought myself an Instant pot a few months ago but haven't actually really used it so far apart from steaming some veggies for our little one or the airfryer lid :D I've seen in one of your videos that you have one as well and was wondering whether you could maybe make a video (if possible also quickly showing how it works and/or which functions you mostly use, etc..) with your favourite weight loss instant pot recipes that are easy and quick to put together so I don't have to spend too much time in the kitchen? This would be amazing!
I know this is an older video but I just wanted to say what I struggle with. knowing what goes with what. The knowledge of knowing If say for instance what spices go with what foods or hmmm does maple syrup go with nooch etc etc. I hope that makes sense
Older reply here, too! lol Taste is really personal, so just try something if you're curious and see if you like it! You could even spoon out a little bit of your dish seperately and try different seasonings, so if you don't like it you've not altered the entire batch. Also google some similar recipes, even if they're not vegan, just to see what spices are common -- like cumin in Mexican style recipes, or oregano in Italian style. And watching vegan channels will give you ideas about healthy additions for flavor. Also, an easy way to season is to check out the mixed blends at the grocery, like seasoned salt, no-salt Mrs. Dash flavors, Cajun, Italian, etc. - just watch for salt, gluten or sugar in the ingredients if that matters to you. Good luck and have fun!
Hi Tia I have been following you for almost 2 years, love all your tips and simple meals I’m not vegan 🌱 or wfpb , but I have days then I’m craving just more veggies in my meal. Thank you for being here ❤️🌸
Thank you so much for putting all of this information together. I am a big eater, feel like I’m constantly hungry. Feel like somedays I’m in control and others not so much. Love all your ideas. Thanks a bunch.
I'm extremely grateful for another black and white, logical person who thinks that the meal prep on some of these websites and recipes is just nuts for families with kiddos, especially young kids (and a lot of them [we have 3 + 1 on the way]). One question I have if you'd be willing to answer: I do not have a Whole Foods near me - I see many '365' brand things in your pantry. Do you have any recommendations for this say, from, Target or Publix or BJs (Costco-like big box store). Thank you so much, Tia!
@@HealthyVeganMama it's my favorite thing I've ever done for myself and I'm intensely proud of it ☺️ I'm now working on my next specialization in sports nutrition ☺️ the only problem is I want to help everyone and my husband says I get "preachy" 😂
Thanks for covering this subject matter. I enjoy hearing your experiences. I didn’t respond to your query, but will tell you my biggest obstacle in the last 9 months of joyfully being WFPB, SOS free. And that is flatulence! I work from home and live by myself, so don’t think about it much. The Covid lifestyle has also made being around others not what it used to be. But as I find myself out and about more, and hopefully develop a romantic relationship again, how am I going to deal with all this gas?! It’s not painful, but just lots of it. Especially after I eat potatoes. Anybody else?
My husband would DEFINITELY go buy cheese and hamburger meat and bring it home if I didn't 😂 When you talked about having to explain why you're eating this way....ugh. Does anyone demand an explanation when people get a Double McGross Burger and Large Fries?
Another fantastic video from the beautiful Tia and it's great to hear your experience on this lifestyle. Whole plant foods are yummy 😋 and I love 😍 the lifestyle and love 🥰 this video and love 💞 Tia.
My biggest issue is a roommate who makes snide comments like “you know, if you put some oil in that it’ll make it easier to scrape into the trash” or “I don’t think that’s food” because he hates pretty much all the veggies I like.
I've been watching calorie density and they talked about fat, (I do understand the rest of the density concept) However, fat-can I still have chia, and hemp seeds??? The fat content is high, and I know it's good fats, but I don't know what they say about losing weight, and good fats to incorporate into the diet. Thanks!
my issue is eating too many carbs. I eat a lot of veg like a whole head of cauliflower. who does that? i can pack away the carbs before I knew what happened also in the same meal. And I'm not overly full.
Hi again! Love this video! Question...I'm getting g a rebounder thanks to you! I thought I was gonna get a Cellercizer but now I'm seeing the Bellicon which looks like it might be better and quieter. Can I ask you what brand you bought? Thank you!
Hi! Great video! I have a question not related to this video. I recently saw one of your videos where you mentioned that your workouts were going to start incorporating jumping/cellercizer. Have you started that? If so what are your thoughts so far? I'm debating spending the $ on one and have been watching the sisters. Thanks!
@@HealthyVeganMama Would love to see a video sometime about your progress. Do you still do other forms of resistance training and cardio or have you primarily been focusing on the jumping? Also do you see results and/or positive changes since January? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time!
Your Awesome Tia and i Love your videos!! You've been so helpful on my journey to this way of eating. Thank you Soo much!!! Are you going to put your book out on copy to purchase in store or just digital?
So happy you enjoy. I buy it already frozen from the store, but if you can’t find it just make a big batch on the weekend, let it cool then freeze in a big ziplock bag
Eating out, meat dishes taste & smell sooooo delicious, burgers, oil, in & out, real ice cream, vegan processed food is really expensive, and for the love…real cheese! Daiya is not cutting it. I try every day but it’s so hard. I have replaced a lot with plant based foods, eat lots of veggies but cheese calls, Oreos call me, there’s just too many tempting treats even when they’re vegan. I’m still fat. 😞I eat too many calories, I know. Vegan or not, too many calories.
Anyone wondering if Tia’s cheese sauce is good, I am here to say IT’S DELICIOUS!!!! I’ve tried many different plant based cheese sauces and they left me flat. This will not disappoint!!! 😀
Thanks! I was wondering about it so I’m taking this as a sign to get make it now.
@@LeiahLuna yesssss!! Enjoy:)
Add a teaspoon or two of jalapeno juice 😋😋
Thanks
It is absolutely the most satisfying cheese sauce! I add a jalapeño without the seeds.
I started on a vegan diet before my hubby too. He really got interested when we went for a hike and I left him in the dust. I had so much energy. We watched The Game Changers and Forks over knives and he was sold. He switched about a month after me.

63k💥 I don't think you even had 20k a year ago. That's fantastic. I love seeing the ppl I follow increase their subs. Congrats on your successes.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support

Hi there :) sorry for the delay - just now seeing this. yes go anywhere you can find it. just make sure the ingredients list is clean.
I always learn something useful from you! Thanks for doing what you do. 💚
I just wanted to say your hair looks fabulous full and healthy.
This is my favorite video you've ever done. I'm subbing ☺️
You're extremely knowledgeable and articulate. Love it.
Love, a vegan nutritionist ☺️
Oh thank you so so much :) so glad you here. I’m also a vegan nutritionist 👊🏻

Thanks for watching :)
Starch, fruit, veggies, sauce is great. I think it needs protein too.

Especially after I eat potatoes. Anybody else?
Yes this is normal. I have a video on this exact subject
Oh yes..... chickpeas are the worst for me! I've recently noticed potatoes do that to me as well.
Have never seen Frozen rice. Ty for the ideas and tips. 🙂 Spices and herbs to make it taste good too.
I know Trader Joe's has it, and of course you can make it yourself
Kroger has it too
This video is very helpful, thanx. I will be waiting for the next one.
So happy it’s helpful :)
Off topic, Can you share your styling products for your curly hair? Thanks!
My husband would DEFINITELY go buy cheese and hamburger meat and bring it home if I didn't 😂

This is the best video!
Thank you ❤️
So happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Hi Tia, I was wondering if you could help me with some snacks to take to the airport and for flying?
She has a travel video somewhere
This is a great and informative video. I was wondering if you plan to release physical copies of your sauce recipes.
I may work on that and publish on amazon this summer
Phenomenal video! Everything you talked about is so helpful 🤗
So happy you find it helpful

What about healthy bread. Do u eat sandwiches?
Thanks so much for this!
Do you only E books? Can we buy paper backs or hard cover Books?
I see someone loves popcorn too😁
Hahaha we all do on this house 🙌🏻

So frozen rice sounds easy but could you tell me how you do it? I enjoy your channel : ) thank you!
So happy you enjoy. I buy it already frozen from the store, but if you can’t find it just make a big batch on the weekend, let it cool then freeze in a big ziplock bag
Also, i just learned, after many years of cooking, that if you rinse your grains after cooking, they dont clump!
Great video
