      I haven't started yet. I'm slightly disabled so depend on the household a lot. I've started eating chia with oat milk for breakfast but haven't veganised my whole diet. When we have rice, I'll add extra lentils, spinach and other sides to my rice instead of the meat curry. Its hard checking everyday items are vegan. Cookies and chocolate especially.

      Be careful, that can very rapidly lead to a deficiency in vitamins, essential fatty and amino acids, and even minerals.
      A vegan junk diet is JUNK, the animals are not gonna thank you for not eating them, and it’s only gonna hurt yourself. So please go mainly WFPB, then you can sustain your vegan diet, and never have to go back to eating animal products!
      Good Luck!

      carla borens ..YHWH
      The Tetragrammaton, is the four-letter Hebrew word יהוה, the name of the biblical God of Israel.. Learn him!!!
      The whole world has been deceived to believe that he is a certain type of way that is not true... He is a God of war &
      Is only God to Israel which are the Negroes who lost their identity during the Atlantic slave trade and the Sahara slave trade they were Israelites who fled into Africa in 70AD
      After getting off the ships their names and identity was stripped away from them and they were giving new names and identities. The aka WHITE PEOPLES ,Africans and Arabs and all the other races who put the Negroes in slavery they’re forefathers knew that the negro people were Israelites speaking in the Hebrew language at that time It was no secret that the Israelites were black!!
      these are all facts I dare you to do your research all the evidence that you find will come from European and Caucasians & Jewish sources because yes the Jew-ish people know that they are NOT the Israelites of the Bible! They were put in the land of Israel and converted into a formed religion of another mans nationality what we know today as Judaism... salvation is only for Israelites the LAW was only given to Israelites they are the only people who can break the law because they’re God made a blood covenant with their forefather Abraham it has nothing to do with everyone else Jacob seed was chosen

      You seem well intentioned but this is the worst thing you could do to your body. And in a few years if you make it that far your body will have deteriorated. This is only beneficial for a very short time if you had a really unhealthy diet before hand. You’ll experience brain fog, you’ll begin to be cold all the time, your hair will fall out become thin, you can start to bruise easier. Your lips will turn grey, your skin will no longer glow and will have a jaundice look, you’ll be farting gassy and always be using the restroom, your oral health will deteriorate, brittle teeth, yellowing if the teeth, it’s just an awful way to live. Eating excess amounts of plants and vegetables is literally TOXIC for the body and shouldn’t be consumed at this amount. ): ugh I just feel so terrible for people who fall for this. Research anti nutrients in vegetables all those salads you think you need. Oxalates, lechtin, phytates. Also that almond milk you’ll drink calcify’s the body. Research it. Too many plants over time at these amounts can lead to kidney stones. You will be deficient in SO many nutrients. The bioavailability of those “supplements” really isn’t there. Vitamins on the market are marketing scams. Do blood tests and see how all those expensive supplements are doing nothing for your body majority of the time. Start to research places that show vegan deterioration. Look at before and after vegan side by side photos. There’s no making this stuff up and it’s not because “Is they did it wrong” no it’s because naturally it’s not what you’re supposed to eat. Ask why our body’s have a carnivores digestive track and not four chambers to digest plants like say a cow and other enzymes naturally to break down grass plants like ox and other muscular plant eating animals. We are going against biology when we eat only plants. Watch yourselves become bloated all the time , retain excess water or over long periods of time just look like a stick. Of course these vegans will never say any of this. Educate yourself before you deteriorate and then take the advice after you’ve wasted away.

    My meal plan tip if you are changing your whole lifestyle is not just to make a meal in bulk but rather bulk prep ingredients so they can be changed up... And learn at least 5 meals and learn them well so if you feel a bit off- you can default to a meal you know you enjoy. And with your ingredients ready to go you can throw it all together and avoid take out.

      Fallen Angel as a black women, I support what he’s saying. Why do we have to pretend like we don’t see color in this beautiful color filled world? It’s particularly important in this context because most of us (black people) come from a culture of soul food. Which is not always healthy. So when other black people come across a video like this seeing a black woman eating this way and promoting this type of lifestyle it’s inspiring.

    • @fallenangel3460

    • @shalieah
      @shalieah 4 года назад +40

      @@fallenangel3460 I agree with you when you say, "That doesn't make them who they are as a whole person." You are absolutely right. But, it is A PART of who we are. I see color when I look at people. I'm not blind or colorblind. I can't help but see color. There's nothing wrong with such. And, when you say, "...I couldn't care less what color a person is..." I believe you're saying skin color doesn't affect the way you PERCEIVE people. And, it shouldn't. Again, I agree with you. However, I see nothing wrong with seeing and acknowledging a person's skin color. It's when one perceives himself to be better than another person based on skin color that I see a problem. It's wrong!

      Benjamin Iskander ... it’s important to realize though that eating Oreos and other food considered to be vegan DOES NOT make you vegan. Veganism is much more than that because veganism IS NOT about food diet and health. Sure a better health IS ONE of the great benefits of veganism but that’s not what veganism is about.
      Veganism is solely about the animals aka refraining from living a lifestyle that contributes to animal cruelty and that’s not in just what you eat it’s also in what you wear, entertainment that includes animals such as circus, zoos etc, products you buy that test on animals until they die and the list goes on.
      To understand what veganism is REALLY about please watch this:

    A budget tip I like to do is to ADD ONE NEW ITEM each month or payday, to the cupboards or pantry. That way it's not overwhelmingly expensive all at once and it ends up lasting longer to have something on hand and it never gets boring because there's always something NEW. Keeps you from eating out so much $$ also😋😇😄 Hope this tip helps stir up some culinary creativity, Healthy and Fun Vegan Style.

      And in a few years if you make it that far your body will have deteriorated. This is only beneficial for a very short time if you had a really unhealthy diet before hand. You’ll experience brain fog, you’ll begin to be cold all the time, your hair will fall out become thin, you can start to bruise easier. Your lips will turn grey, your skin will no longer glow and will have a jaundice look, you’ll be farting gassy and always be using the restroom, your oral health will deteriorate, brittle teeth, yellowing if the teeth, it’s just an awful way to live. Eating excess amounts of plants and vegetables is literally TOXIC for the body and shouldn’t be consumed at this amount. ): ugh I just feel so terrible for people who fall for this. Research anti nutrients in vegetables all those salads you think you need. Oxalates, lechtin, phytates. Also that almond milk you’ll drink calcify’s the body. Research it. Too many plants over time at these amounts can lead to kidney stones. You will be deficient in SO many nutrients. The bioavailability of those “supplements” really isn’t there. Vitamins on the market are marketing scams. Do blood tests and see how all those expensive supplements are doing nothing for your body majority of the time. Start to research places that show vegan deterioration. Look at before and after vegan side by side photos. There’s no making this stuff up and it’s not because “Is they did it wrong” no it’s because naturally it’s not what you’re supposed to eat. Ask why our body’s have a carnivores digestive track and not four chambers to digest plants like say a cow and other enzymes naturally to break down grass plants like ox and other muscular plant eating animals. We are going against biology when we eat only plants. Watch yourselves become bloated all the time , retain excess water or over long periods of time just look like a stick. Of course these vegans will never say any of this. Educate yourself before you deteriorate and then take the advice after you’ve wasted away.

      ​@@melibow2003 Chewing actually stimulates an enzyme (?) that's really good for digestion. That's why it's better to eat a cup of spinach rather than drink a smoothie with the exact same amount of spinach mixed in. It also makes you feel more satisfied psychologically. I personally feel really unsatisfied after a smoothie, even a huge one with the same amount of oats, banana, and almond milk as what I'd eat in porridge.

    I went to a steak restaurant once with my dad and a friend of his. The friend knew the chef and asked if we could have a vegetarian meal made for me (sorry). He made zucchini milanesa a la napolitana. It's hands down the most delicious meal I've had, and it was a vegetarian meal at a steak house. Just be polite and ask nicely.

      Same with me. I could totally be a vegetarian but vegan always seemed so complicated to me. Doesn’t help that my husband is a meat eater!

    • @valery898
      @valery898 6 лет назад +5

      Shannon Nicole If that's the case then start by being a vegetarian. Then when you go out to eat or are looking up recipes, start noticing how you can veganize them. Learn what you can replace eggs and dairy with. And try out some fully vegan recipes at home every once in a while so you have some comfort foods. Then, once you've researched, it won't seem as scary! Then you can finish your transition and feel way more prepared. Trust me, it seems like the cravings won't ever go away but they will. I went vegan overnight and the first 2 weeks were the hardest, but after that, I never craved it again and it smells terrible to me now. You can do this! (;

      I’ve been a vegetarian for 4 years, now transitioning to vegan! Don’t rush yourself. I always said do it in your own time, it’s better to take a while to get there and stick with it, than to rush it and start over and over again! Good luck👍🏻👍🏻

This Video came right on time you pretty much answered most of my questions! Thank you so much for being thorough and giving us different scenarios and references to choose from! keep delivering your message to others because you are making a huge impact! btw I did preorder your book on Amazon and I can not wait to try out your vegan soul food recepies it's definately going to come in handy this yr especially for the holidays! 2018 will be my first vegan Thanksgiving and I am sooo excited about it!
