In the before video it wasn't your weight that I noticed first, I noticed how TIRED you looked! You look /so/ much brighter and healthier now. It's amazing what going vegan can do!
+NatKat93 Exactly my thought. She looked so exhausted in her face. Like exhaustion combined with depression reflecting in her face. Such a huge difference. She is literally glowing now.
+NatKat93 [It's amazing what going vegan can do!] Her improved health and weight loss is more likely due to cessation of smoking, getting off adderall, limiting drinking (most likely sugary "girly" drinks that make girls fat), and eating healthy real food. She probably could have eaten some animal based food and achieved the same results.
You know what i love the most about you is that you are so natural, you don't hide who you really are, you come across as a very genuine person....sometimes raw kristina puts on weight but swears she does nothing wrong, but you admit the reality of how gaining health should be, and your truthful and honest and really natural not fake and glammed up. thank you you are an inspiration.
Being patient and realistic about how long it may take to change my weight and health has been so important for me to stay hopeful and encouraged. Thank you for this insightful video and for the helpful message to be patient and keep going.
Thank you, Hannah. You don't have to post these videos or help anyone but you do. You answer questions. And show us how you do things. You inspire us. Thank you.
The clarity on your camera is awesome. Plus your skin is radiant. I feel off the vegan high carb. Looking to restart because i felt so wonderful and looker great. Now im like how you were in your previous video 55lbs ago. I have a big hill to climb. Im glad you showed your before and after. Very encouraging
Hannah, I am a 62 year old grandma, and I started a low fat plant based diet last Dec. I cannot tell you how much better I am, and full of energy. I had a really really bad arthritic neck that ruined my life. I couldn't do anything and I was in pain all the time. Doctors gave me lots of drugs and painful tests. Well, no more! Now I am virtually pain free!! I feel great. I just bought a recumbent trike and now I am riding around the neighborhood. It is so very fun. I also walk and jog. My life has changed a lot, I love your videos, and I am going to check out your website and recipes. Thanks for your videos, so inspiring and full of info. I think we are never too old to change, improve our health, and have fun! The one strange thing is that the people around me have seen the great improvements in me, and weight loss, but they have no interest in improving their diets at all. I can only show by example.
Hi Hannah, I just subscribed to you. I am a sixty-one year old woman from Australia and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I was astonished to see what you did. A few years ago I lost 30 kilos (2.2 lbs = 1 kilo) on a low carb diet and pilates, power walking six days a week, then I had a knee replacement and am now back to what I was, 90 kilos ;-( In my lifetime I have lost my entire body weight, twice. At ten, I halved my weight, after my second child I lost 120 lbs and became anorexic and kept it off for 20 years until I had my thyroid irradited and put on 25 kilos in six months. I won't go on. I am so tired of it all but seeing what you did was amazing to me, dieting to me is struggle and deprivation and pain, and joy and elation when I loose weight but eventually it all goes back on. My body seems to want to be 90 kilos no matter how many times I slim down. To think I existed on 60 grams of carb a day and to see the amount you ate, i would not eat that in a week what you ate in one day - yet you are slim and I am fat - again. Good Luck Hannah, you are an inspiration, have a really wonderful life. Judith from Oz. xo
WOW what a difference you have made with your weight loss Hannah....it is so awesome you are brave enough to show us and inspire all of us with your journey. I put my "before" pic as my desktop wallpaper so that I am forced to look at it daily, sometimes I just stare at it thinking, how did I not know I was so huge, I knew I was miserable but did not realize how miserable until I lost the weight. I don't ever wanna get back to that state again and having that pic present daily reminds me of how miserable and unhealthy I truly was. Thank you so very much for all you do for us and sharing your life and giving all of us inspiration!! :)
I can relate to this so much! it's insane your transformation. I've lost 50 pounds now and even when I go back to my older youtube videos, I can't believe that was me. You truly don't really notice until you look back. You look so much more alive and vibrant now, you must feel great :)
I love you two so much. How wonderful to see how much you've grown as a person and as a cinematographer. Imagine all the people you've helped in 7 years!!!
So inspiring Hannah! I needed this Thanks you! I'm 35 and feel like it's taking forever for the weight to fall off. I'm a mother of 3 and I have a hard time finding inspiration on here as most people are 10yrs younger without kids! At that time in my life I wasn't even eating healthy and I was a good weight. I ate meat, nasty fast foods and no excercise! Now I'm vegan and ride a bike average 2miles a day but the 50lbs of overweight I gained are taking forever to fall off,frustrating! Your videos give me hope and keep me going. Thank You so much for all the hard work you do!!! Btw- loved the background music in this video! Gave me a nice uplifted happy feeling. 😊
I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to become vegan x you changed my life and I'll always be grateful for that x I've still got a long way to go but I'm so glad that I'm not where I was x thank you so much x you look absolutely gorgeous x
I envision my self as the thin girl I was at 18. And it hurts so bad to see myself on film or in pics. My vision is immediately shattered. I weighed 118 lb then. Now, at 30, (I've had 3 kids since then) I weigh 191. I feel awful all the time. Tired and body pain. I've developed plantar fasciitis... I'm currently breastfeeding my 3rd who is 8 months old. I have been vegan for 4 months now and have felt much better since fully transitioning. I'm proud of myself for not gaining any more weight. I've been at 191 since 6 weeks postpartum. Your channel is such an inspiration to me Hannah! I'm now transitioning to more whole foods, less oil and salt and cutting out the majority of vegan junk and meat subs. I can do it! Thanks for everything you do! ❤
Before and after pictures are so motivating!! I do it with my skin as well to see the improvement in my blemishes. Well done on all the weight loss Hannah!!! Amazinggggg
Aww Hannah you look so sad in the before video. Very inspiring to see all the changes you have made and that you are living a healthful and happy life now :)
I had food allergies but my doctors could not find any allergies. I got tested for allergies but the test all came back negative for allergies. My cholesterol and sugar where very high, i was diagnosed with H pilorid after suffering with acid reflux for many years, not able to sleep with burning sensation on my stomach every night. I read the book you recommended, the Strach solution. I started to follow the recipes on the book. To my surprise I have had allergies to dairy products for the past 15 years. I use to itch everywhere with red blotches all over my body but my doctors could not give me a diagnosis. Also I was diagnosed with mild Alopecia and after I stopped eating meat my hair stopped falling out, my stomach is not burning anymore. The diary products where causing reflux. My scalp does not hurt anymore. Thanks for your inspiring videos and your book recomendation. I am a very busy working mom and I really didn't have time for all that drama.
I think the camera does not flatter overweight people. You've always been a beautiful girl. You really suit the weight your at and your skin is glowing.
I love both you guys so much. You seem so down to earth and honest, I can tell your advice comes from a beautiful and wholesome place. I know this sounds weird but even though we will never meet, I really respect and and value your advice. You are like a role model to so many :) Happy new year! I hope that it is prosperous :)
I think what you are doing is stunning stunning stunning! Well done for improving your health instead of just complaining about it like most of us do. You are very motivational. Keep up the good work! Love your videos!
Love how u say getting healthy and continue to show how in not so many ways or so many you quit smoking alcohol and adderall! Show's how small changes can make huge changes get it girl! Love you
Seems kinda rude to show up at your friends house that made all kinds of food fitting to your diet and then not really have anything and go home just because you didnt want to bike in the dark? Different cultures I guess. If someone made a meal like that for me I would not blow it off like that. Just seemed strange to me :)
Becca if someone is just stopping by to say 'hi'.. I wouldn't see why the host went out of her way to cook meals geared to her diet (oil free). She even indicated in her video she hoped there would be oil free food. Its rude to up and leave when someone has slaved over a kitchen to accomodate your dietary needs.
My weight has literally stayed almost EXACTLY the same for the past month, even though I've been hitting it hard with consistency in diet and exercise. BUT, my clothes are waaayyy looser and my muscles are starting to be visible again :) I wasn't exactly 'fat', but just soft and gooey with a little jelly roll around my waist...it's aaaalllmost gone!
+willie billie Can you not read? It doesn't weigh more it just take up less space. 1lb of muscle is the same as 1lb of fat, it's just smaller in comparison but it doesn't actually weigh more.
Such an intelligent look at the journey. There is no one size fits all way to find your healthy weight & stay there, plus it's should be a slow process. Plant based eating is a brilliant way to tackle a complex journey. Good luck all 🌸
Hannah, Thank you so much for posting this. I have just began strict adherence to the HCLF lifestyle(a week ago Friday). I can already tell I am losing weight. It makes me sad to think how heavy I am but this is so helpful and encouraging.
Hannah I do enjoy the videos I never comment but I have been with you for a long time, watching every video. You feel like a good friend because you never act better than everyone else and you have such a kind spirit. Love the videos and you are doing so much good for the world spreading the message
Seeing your before clip made me cry! Such a transformation you have had!! You are such an inspiration!! Everything you talked about in this video regarding focusing on eating as healthy as possible rather than the weight loss aspect really resonated with me....Thank you for sharing your story!! Happy New Year!! Soooooooo stoked for 2016!!!
It seemed so hard to stop eating and drinking the wrong things and now, HCLF/no sos seems easy. I think it's because I am willing to put starch at the center of my meal and add vegis and some fruit. When I think of it that way, I'm always satisfied, and as you say, stop when full and go back for more later if I get hungry. I do come from eating compulsively so I always thought I could never detect when I was full but, have practiced it and have got better at it. Funny thing is that If I'm not hungry in the evening and I write down what I've eaten, it's not too much. It's a habit to think that if I'm not hungry, I must have eaten too much. It's a funny place to be in but I'll take it. Progess, not perfection. Thank you for sharing your experience and being willing to be so transparent. It is so important to people like me.
I like how the videos back in this time were more of your whole day as opposed to just what you eat like what you post now. I enjoy the entire Hannah life experience!
when you weighed that much, what were you eating and were you exercising? When you started being vegan, did you eat the way you do now? did you start exercising and how frequently did you exercise? LOVE YOU HANNAH!!
also, on your kronometer it says you burned 2337 calories, and ate 2193 calories. So does that mean your burning more calories than you are eating in a day? is that how you like lost so much weight? Thanks hannah!
Ever since I watched your Ayahuasca video I have been binging your channel. I have been a subscriber for a while already, but something about that video made you more 'real'. I have been struggling with severe depression, disassociation, derealization and depersonalization- all kind of symptoms of eachother as well as their own disorders. When you talked about feeling as if yo could not love, I felt that. I used to be so full of love and passion and then things happen that stripped me of it, and it has been years since i felt mostly anything, since i felt rooted in this world. I became an alcoholic, my life was a total mess. when you said it felt like your soul was taken and had been given back to you during your trip, I started crying, when you said that it had run away from you because you had been hurt so much. And to see that you came out the other side with such a fullness in your hear,t, was beautiful, and inspiring, and it is crazy that one of the first people I have felt was real and one of the first experiences that made me feel like i woke up out of my disorders for a second was through a TH-cam video online, is kind of crazy. But so is life, and doing Ayahuasca. What else could I have expected? Love you Hannah, thank you
I made my own one pot pasta in my insta pot yesterday after watching you do it. I added a little tomato paste, a teeny bit of sugar, red pepper flakes and some capers. It was SO good. thanks for the inspiration.
Well I'm now inspired to just start taking video... I am 10lbs down (and stopped loosing weight for now) and only five months into being vegan, and I'm kinda sad I didn't start from the beginning doing videos. I hope that I can eventually shed another 60 lbs... I'm in this for life sooo if it takes two years so be it. Thank you for sharing!
I just found your channel and have been watching your videos all night. You are so inspiring! This is just what I needed to help me get motivated to make a permanent change in my life. Thank you so much!
Hannah I love your videos. They are such an inspiration for me and I love your recipes too. I have been vegan now for 21/2 weeks now and I feel great and I am glad I am doing this.
You do look amazing and you are REAL and that's why everyone loves you!!!!! A year and a half is really not that long to achieve everything you did. Be super proud x
I love this video so much, you have come so far babe! And I totally feel you on the not focusing on weight loss and just finding what works for YOU and your body and your energy levels etc... I think that's the key :)
i lost extra weight by eating clean which is so great, this year i wanna quit caffeine and start exercising and tone my body, i was also a heavy smoker and drinker before i came to hclf vegan lifestyle (i was a vegetarian stuffing my face in cheese although i am severly lactose intolerant) but thanks to this lifestyle i managed to get healthy and get rid of bad habits! you are such an inspiration 💛
+Morticia Addams i wish i knew how bad dairy was! i went vegetarian 8 years ago, and now i can't stop eating cheese lol. uhhhhh. and there is no vegan chocolate in my city and i am like.... the biggest chocolate lover ever. i hate it. i know it's cruel :( i want to be vegan, i'm trying to find vegan chocolate but no luck so far
Hi to all, I have a question that I'm sure has come up for others. I have been vegan for two weeks so far...doing well and loving it. I'm choosing this instead of taking horrible medication for Multiple Sclerosis. My question is for anyone and everyone: what can I do for the very painful gas I've been getting daily. Hannah I love your channel, thanks for sharing.
So inspiring! It's really wild to see how you looked then compared to now. You really have changed. It's made me want to take more photos so I can see what changes are happening. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration and sharing your story.
Thank you. I was sick and all I had in the home was potatoes and I remembered Penn Jillete so I dropped 8lbs fast but now doing veggies brown rice -- a little bit of vegan butter not losing weight but I had severe insomnia last night (part of PTS) so be patient....so tired.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I have lost almost 30 pounds and I seem to have just gotten "stuck" with weight loss. However I know that all my clothes are just hanging off me, and continue to feel bigger. I have upped my cardio and lifting at the gym. I see and feel more muscle but it's discouraging to have the scale not change. I'm just going to trust the process and continue my HCLF eating. Just focusing on being healthy and happy is where it's at.
Hannah, you are so inspiring. I can somewhat relate to your journey. Ive never been overweight, I've come from a severely anorexic background (11 years and counting), but can relate SO much to when you said you struggled with getting of cigarettes and adderall. Im curious....what was it that made you finally "stop being inconsistent" so to speak and make that final push into being healthy/vegan? x
Such a huge difference, completely different person! I know what you mean about having a sort of distorted image of yourself. I have experienced that myself, on one hand when I was 260 lbs I knew I was obese.. but it was such a shock to see myself in a photo. Video is even more powerful!
I think it's so strange you went to your friend's house where she specially prepared food for you then left without eating! And you had time to shop at Trader Joe's. Maybe I'm reading the situation wrong but I'd be offended if I were her =P
Honestly Hannah, as someone who is going through some really toughthings to deal with in life your videos are so inspiring. Being 22 years old going through a breakup and also deciding to make the lifestyle change to veganism. It has been so hard. But coming to your channel everyday gives me the strength to get through the day. I was honestly shocked when I figured out that you're about 27-29 years old. You look awesome, your energy is awesome. You genuinely seem to be such a happier person. Anyways I am not trying to rant. But for all the haters you have I hope you remember that you have people out there that you are genuinely helping.
Please please please talk more about your past experience with Adderall (and maybe I'm assuming dealing with the withdrawals, how that connects to your current vegan lifestyle etc.)
Great video Hanna! Your wisdom and experience are invaluable. I'm just starting to get healthy and my wife and I are following a low fat high carb vegan lifestyle. Thanks for everything you do for us, your viewers! :)
Hannah, the white flour pasta and white rice can cause false hunger, you might want to stick with the 100% whole grains only and use less wheat or zero gluten in general...I find even whole spelt or kamut pasta makes me crave more food, so am using up my stash of gluten grains and switching to gluten free whole grain pastas like brown rice, in the near future. Corn tortillas have the same effect but not as bad. Any food that makes you crave more food is not agreeing with your system.
This brings me to tears 😭. I Vlog and a week ago I went to edit a video where I was going to make bread and I saw what my body looks like and I couldn't do it. I eat vegan but not healthy. I YoYo diet and have no patience :(. Thank you for helping me realize it takes time. I haven't picked up the camera in over a week and feel so defeated. Yes, I just had my 5th baby a year ago (10.11 pound babies!!) but I need to get healthy for my kids. I'm 157lbs and should be around 130 to be healthy and comfortable
this video was exactly what I needed. I've been vegan for 9 months now and I have lost 60lb. thank you for this video!!!! it reminded me to focus on the big picture!
You’re awesome! 👍🏻😁 Your before video is just unbelievable! Keep up your great effort to motivate all of us! Eating healthy is not a phase, it’s a lifestyle. 💕💕💕
I've been struggling with this. I just tried out the starch solution for 10 days. the first week I lost 2.5 lbs. and now it is just kinda sitting there. I'm so used to diets where you lose a ton of weight fast. but I keep telling myself those aren't sustainable and that even 5-10lbs a month is totally acceptable. Super hard to get out of that mindset, tho.
I know this is old but I never thought of taking a before video of me. I have pictures that others have taken of me and I haaaate the way I look. Hopefully, my transformation will be self inspirational as I am not brave as you to share. Thank you!
Loved your video and our honesty. You did not mention how much water you added in the pasta. I would like to try it in my Instant Pot. Also, did you just use the saute setting? Thank you and keep on doing what you are doing. Love!
Yes, as a HCLF vegan- but restricted calories and over exercised. I was going on vacation and wanted a temporary quick fix- obviously went a little crazy though. So please don't do that, take it one day at a time. You could even try a temporary paleo vegan diet and see how you feel, but I know some people will yell at me for saying that.
+laurawashere i had the same experience. lost about 20 lbs very fast when i first started hclfv, then gained it back. But, I wasn't being consistent when we went out to eat, and I definitely went on yo-yo calorie restricting binges. I've recently just forgot about losing weight and just trying to be healthy and very consistent. I'm literally almost to my goal weight now, and can wear clothes I almost gave away b/c I thought I'd never fit in them again LOL ;)
+ninaandianfan21 I was just gonna comment about how cute that is. lol...It's an underbite, common in some breeds. I've known a couple ppl with it too. lol
hot house produce here in bc is not sprayed , they use insects to control pest i talked to multiple hot house growers so its ok to by non organic ,peppers , cucumber and tomatoes ..helps with the budget
Thank you so much for your videos, Hannah! I look forward to your videos every morning.I am getting married today and I just watched this video as I was waking up :) Your videos remind me of how I should love my body at any stage and to never give up. With your encouraging words, I am feeling beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you!!
Thanks for the food ideas. Dog guardians: in case you did not know (this might save millions of dogs) you can buy Top Paw dog pee pads (there are a number of similar companies), place them on top of linoleum kitchen flooring or inside of a shallow plastic box ( the kind of box that you can slide under a bed, about...maybe....16 inches by ....22 inches, about five inches high). Put the box with one pad per box (about three) next to your bed. Your dog or dogs will pee on the pads after they drink water. The dogs are calmer than 'holding it' until you take them out for a dog walk. Unfortunately, you probably need to get up immediately, or as soon as possible, to put the used pad into the trash. Often, they will let you go into a deep sleep and not wake you up after they pee. But if you are awake, they will let you know that they would prefer to have that used pee pad put in the trash. Try to leave a window or two open an inch or two for cross ventilation. Human sense of smell is much weaker than dog sense of smell. Maybe ten times weaker. Top Paw pee pads can be bought at Petsmart stores. A dog walker told me that the only item he buys at Walmart are pee pads for elderly humans (designed to be placed on top of bed sheets), which he buys in bulk for his two small dogs.

how old are you?
can you explain 1 thing for me? because I am highly curious, if no other animal on earth counts calories, why do we have to do it?
Romania de azi Because we're lazy af xD
wrong answer Anela.... animals are lazy and active, depends on hormones. the we are lazy argument crashes down in flames and burns into ashes.
Romania de azi Oh come on, can't you take a joke?
In the before video it wasn't your weight that I noticed first, I noticed how TIRED you looked! You look /so/ much brighter and healthier now. It's amazing what going vegan can do!
I so agree. She has come a long way from being tired to being rejuvenated!
+NatKat93 i agree.
+NatKat93 Exactly my thought. She looked so exhausted in her face. Like exhaustion combined with depression reflecting in her face. Such a huge difference. She is literally glowing now.
+Moravian Wallachia Adderall can do that to people.
+NatKat93 [It's amazing what going vegan can do!]
Her improved health and weight loss is more likely due to cessation of smoking, getting off adderall, limiting drinking (most likely sugary "girly" drinks that make girls fat), and eating healthy real food.
She probably could have eaten some animal based food and achieved the same results.

You look like Mariah Carey tbh
Ranal Knowles I have to agree! I was thinking the same thing the first time I seen her! Love you, Hannah!
Cuter and nicer version though of Mariah Carey.
I KNOW!!!!! I thought I was the only one who saw that! She looks like Mariah Carey's twin 👍
So inspiring Hannah! I needed this Thanks you! I'm 35 and feel like it's taking forever for the weight to fall off. I'm a mother of 3 and I have a hard time finding inspiration on here as most people are 10yrs younger without kids! At that time in my life I wasn't even eating healthy and I was a good weight.

Show us the full before video of you Hannah! I was hoping to see it based on the title and i got so pumped! We'd all appreciate it :)
Before and after pictures are so motivating!! I do it with my skin as well to see the improvement in my blemishes. Well done on all the weight loss Hannah!!! Amazinggggg
Aww Hannah you look so sad in the before video. Very inspiring to see all the changes you have made and that you are living a healthful and happy life now :)

I use to itch everywhere with red blotches all over my body but my doctors could not give me a diagnosis. Also I was diagnosed with mild Alopecia and after I stopped eating meat my hair stopped falling out, my stomach is not burning anymore. The diary products where causing reflux. My scalp does not hurt anymore. Thanks for your inspiring videos and your book recomendation. I am a very busy working mom and I really didn't have time for all that drama.
I think the camera does not flatter overweight people. You've always been a beautiful girl. You really suit the weight your at and your skin is glowing.
I love both you guys so much. You seem so down to earth and honest, I can tell your advice comes from a beautiful and wholesome place. I know this sounds weird but even though we will never meet, I really respect and and value your advice. You are like a role model to so many :) Happy new year! I hope that it is prosperous :)
I think what you are doing is stunning stunning stunning! Well done for improving your health instead of just complaining about it like most of us do. You are very motivational. Keep up the good work! Love your videos!
Love how u say getting healthy and continue to show how in not so many ways or so many you quit smoking alcohol and adderall! Show's how small changes can make huge changes get it girl! Love you
Thank you for being so authentic!! Good for you for changing your life around! You look great!
Seems kinda rude to show up at your friends house that made all kinds of food fitting to your diet and then not really have anything and go home just because you didnt want to bike in the dark? Different cultures I guess. If someone made a meal like that for me I would not blow it off like that. Just seemed strange to me :)
I thought the same thing. Even if I was not very hungry, at least a small plate out of courtesy.
I was wondering if she could have taken to go containers or something. I felt bad hearing they left though.
Anita Dittrich I agree, they knew before hand and she was explaining how she made it for them. I thought that was rude to not even enjoy some of it.
Hannah commented that the hostess had many people over, and they had said they were just stopping by to say hi. :)
Becca if someone is just stopping by to say 'hi'.. I wouldn't see why the host went out of her way to cook meals geared to her diet (oil free). She even indicated in her video she hoped there would be oil free food. Its rude to up and leave when someone has slaved over a kitchen to accomodate your dietary needs.
My weight has literally stayed almost EXACTLY the same for the past month, even though I've been hitting it hard with consistency in diet and exercise. BUT, my clothes are waaayyy looser and my muscles are starting to be visible again :) I wasn't exactly 'fat', but just soft and gooey with a little jelly roll around my waist...it's aaaalllmost gone!
Are you doing cardio or strength training?
Muscle weighs more than fat! 😜
+Emily Strickland No it doesn't. it just takes up less space.
You changed your body fat percentage. Weight isn't everything!
+willie billie Can you not read? It doesn't weigh more it just take up less space. 1lb of muscle is the same as 1lb of fat, it's just smaller in comparison but it doesn't actually weigh more.
Such an intelligent look at the journey. There is no one size fits all way to find your healthy weight & stay there, plus it's should be a slow process. Plant based eating is a brilliant way to tackle a complex journey. Good luck all 🌸
Hannah,
Thank you so much for posting this. I have just began strict adherence to the HCLF lifestyle(a week ago Friday). I can already tell I am losing weight. It makes me sad to think how heavy I am but this is so helpful and encouraging.
why didn't you eat your friends food
You guys are such an inspiration. Don't stop doing what you are doing!
So smart to take before photos!! I wish I did... I always AVOIDED the camera like the plague when I was heavier. But it really is an amazing tool
Hannah I do enjoy the videos I never comment but I have been with you for a long time, watching every video. You feel like a good friend because you never act better than everyone else and you have such a kind spirit. Love the videos and you are doing so much good for the world spreading the message
the pouring of the green juice was so satisfying lol
Seeing your before clip made me cry! Such a transformation you have had!! You are such an inspiration!! Everything you talked about in this video regarding focusing on eating as healthy as possible rather than the weight loss aspect really resonated with me....Thank you for sharing your story!! Happy New Year!! Soooooooo stoked for 2016!!!
It seemed so hard to stop eating and drinking the wrong things and now, HCLF/no sos seems easy. I think it's because I am willing to put starch at the center of my meal and add vegis and some fruit. When I think of it that way, I'm always satisfied, and as you say, stop when full and go back for more later if I get hungry. I do come from eating compulsively so I always thought I could never detect when I was full but, have practiced it and have got better at it. Funny thing is that If I'm not hungry in the evening and I write down what I've eaten, it's not too much. It's a habit to think that if I'm not hungry, I must have eaten too much. It's a funny place to be in but I'll take it. Progess, not perfection. Thank you for sharing your experience and being willing to be so transparent. It is so important to people like me.
I like how your show is not just specific content. You bring us into your world. Awesome. 👍
i'm so glad you took out the music from your videos. Love your channel.
I like how the videos back in this time were more of your whole day as opposed to just what you eat like what you post now. I enjoy the entire Hannah life experience!
you've come such a long way, it has been an honour to watch your journey Hannah x
when you weighed that much, what were you eating and were you exercising? When you started being vegan, did you eat the way you do now? did you start exercising and how frequently did you exercise? LOVE YOU HANNAH!!
also, on your kronometer it says you burned 2337 calories, and ate 2193 calories. So does that mean your burning more calories than you are eating in a day? is that how you like lost so much weight? Thanks hannah!
power to you girl that is an amazing change in one year. Knowing how much healthier you are now must be great motivation.
The title is a little misleading because it seemed like the old video content would be included but it is amazing to see the transformation.
Ever since I watched your Ayahuasca video I have been binging your channel. I have been a subscriber for a while already, but something about that video made you more 'real'. I have been struggling with severe depression, disassociation, derealization and depersonalization- all kind of symptoms of eachother as well as their own disorders. When you talked about feeling as if yo could not love, I felt that. I used to be so full of love and passion and then things happen that stripped me of it, and it has been years since i felt mostly anything, since i felt rooted in this world. I became an alcoholic, my life was a total mess. when you said it felt like your soul was taken and had been given back to you during your trip, I started crying, when you said that it had run away from you because you had been hurt so much. And to see that you came out the other side with such a fullness in your hear,t, was beautiful, and inspiring, and it is crazy that one of the first people I have felt was real and one of the first experiences that made me feel like i woke up out of my disorders for a second was through a TH-cam video online, is kind of crazy. But so is life, and doing Ayahuasca. What else could I have expected? Love you Hannah, thank you
You are so beautiful in and out, before and after your weightloss.
I made my own one pot pasta in my insta pot yesterday after watching you do it. I added a little tomato paste, a teeny bit of sugar, red pepper flakes and some capers. It was SO good. thanks for the inspiration.
Well I'm now inspired to just start taking video... I am 10lbs down (and stopped loosing weight for now) and only five months into being vegan, and I'm kinda sad I didn't start from the beginning doing videos. I hope that I can eventually shed another 60 lbs... I'm in this for life sooo if it takes two years so be it. Thank you for sharing!
I just found your channel and have been watching your videos all night. You are so inspiring! This is just what I needed to help me get motivated to make a permanent change in my life. Thank you so much!
Hannah I love your videos. They are such an inspiration for me and I love your recipes too. I have been vegan now for 21/2 weeks now and I feel great and I am glad I am doing this.
You do look amazing and you are REAL and that's why everyone loves you!!!!! A year and a half is really not that long to achieve everything you did. Be super proud x
You're looking incredibly vibrant and fit, Hannah. These vlogs are great to watch
I love this video so much, you have come so far babe! And I totally feel you on the not focusing on weight loss and just finding what works for YOU and your body and your energy levels etc... I think that's the key :)
You have inspired me to eat differently. I have struggled with food all my life. I'm excited to start this new way of eating!
i lost extra weight by eating clean which is so great, this year i wanna quit caffeine and start exercising and tone my body, i was also a heavy smoker and drinker before i came to hclf vegan lifestyle (i was a vegetarian stuffing my face in cheese although i am severly lactose intolerant) but thanks to this lifestyle i managed to get healthy and get rid of bad habits! you are such an inspiration 💛
+Morticia Addams i wish i knew how bad dairy was! i went vegetarian 8 years ago, and now i can't stop eating cheese lol. uhhhhh. and there is no vegan chocolate in my city and i am like.... the biggest chocolate lover ever. i hate it. i know it's cruel :( i want to be vegan, i'm trying to find vegan chocolate but no luck so far
+Lex Went Vegan dark chocolate!
+Lex Went Vegan do you have trader Joe's? If so they have some
lemonbrownie i meant milk choc haha i know most dark cho is vegan but it doesn't work for a lot of recipes i need and want it for.
bwaldburg oh man i wish
you look like a brighter happier person now. that is amazing!
Hi to all, I have a question that I'm sure has come up for others. I have been vegan for two weeks so far...doing well and loving it. I'm choosing this instead of taking horrible medication for Multiple Sclerosis.
My question is for anyone and everyone: what can I do for the very painful gas I've been getting daily. Hannah I love your channel, thanks for sharing.
Hannah- you are so lovely! You inspire so many. God bless you!
So inspiring! It's really wild to see how you looked then compared to now. You really have changed. It's made me want to take more photos so I can see what changes are happening. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration and sharing your story.
Thank you. I was sick and all I had in the home was potatoes and I remembered Penn Jillete so I dropped 8lbs fast but now doing veggies brown rice -- a little bit of vegan butter not losing weight but I had severe insomnia last night (part of PTS) so be patient....so tired.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I have lost almost 30 pounds and I seem to have just gotten "stuck" with weight loss. However I know that all my clothes are just hanging off me, and continue to feel bigger. I have upped my cardio and lifting at the gym. I see and feel more muscle but it's discouraging to have the scale not change. I'm just going to trust the process and continue my HCLF eating. Just focusing on being healthy and happy is where it's at.
Hannah, you are so inspiring. I can somewhat relate to your journey. Ive never been overweight, I've come from a severely anorexic background (11 years and counting), but can relate SO much to when you said you struggled with getting of cigarettes and adderall. Im curious....what was it that made you finally "stop being inconsistent" so to speak and make that final push into being healthy/vegan? x
Poor friend going through all that trouble buying and preparing that food just for you.
Such a huge difference, completely different person! I know what you mean about having a sort of distorted image of yourself. I have experienced that myself, on one hand when I was 260 lbs I knew I was obese.. but it was such a shock to see myself in a photo. Video is even more powerful!
+Banana Wisdom yes it is for sure :)
I think it's so strange you went to your friend's house where she specially prepared food for you then left without eating! And you had time to shop at Trader Joe's. Maybe I'm reading the situation wrong but I'd be offended if I were her =P
Lol I agree
Me and my family were invited to lunch at a relative's house and i ran away. I'm a jerk lol.
Erika Britt - Thought the same! You couldn’t stay to eat but had time to stop and go grocery shopping? Wtf?
She didn't film it that doesn't mean she didn't eat it
Emma B She said “We didn’t eat anything.”
You Guys are so, Awesome, thank you for all you are sharing, love, Diana Lipski a 9 years Vegan Lady and I love this Loving Lifestyle 💕
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!
omg your dogs in the blanket, the cutest thing i see today
This whole video was overshadowed by how you treated your friend.
Honestly Hannah, as someone who is going through some really toughthings to deal with in life your videos are so inspiring. Being 22 years old going through a breakup and also deciding to make the lifestyle change to veganism. It has been so hard. But coming to your channel everyday gives me the strength to get through the day. I was honestly shocked when I figured out that you're about 27-29 years old. You look awesome, your energy is awesome. You genuinely seem to be such a happier person. Anyways I am not trying to rant. But for all the haters you have I hope you remember that you have people out there that you are genuinely helping.
Showing people before and afters is also a great way to inspire others =)
Please please please talk more about your past experience with Adderall (and maybe I'm assuming dealing with the withdrawals, how that connects to your current vegan lifestyle etc.)
Hannah you are inspirational!
wow what an achievement! not just the weight, but quitting smoking as well. im so impressed!! i hope 2016 is the year i finally quit smoking.
Strength to you! Focus and you'll make it :)
I don't think that you ever have to eat anything that you don't want to. thanks for your success stories...you are inspiring.
So true, my weight hasn't really changed but I'm not overweight but looking at my videos I have changed shape and everything looks tighter.
love your honesty and so happy to hear of your accomplishments
Not annoying at all! Love your videos!
I don't think I've seen Derek without that sweater on
You are so glowy and healthy all over looking! Great job, Hannah!
Hannah, you’ve always been beautiful but now you’re radiant!
Great video Hanna! Your wisdom and experience are invaluable. I'm just starting to get healthy and my wife and I are following a low fat high carb vegan lifestyle. Thanks for everything you do for us, your viewers! :)
Brave, honest, and inspirational!
Yes these videos are awesome!! I love how u make them short but informative!!
Hannah, the white flour pasta and white rice can cause false hunger, you might want to stick with the 100% whole grains only and use less wheat or zero gluten in general...I find even whole spelt or kamut pasta makes me crave more food, so am using up my stash of gluten grains and switching to gluten free whole grain pastas like brown rice, in the near future. Corn tortillas have the same effect but not as bad. Any food that makes you crave more food is not agreeing with your system.
This brings me to tears 😭. I Vlog and a week ago I went to edit a video where I was going to make bread and I saw what my body looks like and I couldn't do it. I eat vegan but not healthy. I YoYo diet and have no patience :(. Thank you for helping me realize it takes time. I haven't picked up the camera in over a week and feel so defeated. Yes, I just had my 5th baby a year ago (10.11 pound babies!!) but I need to get healthy for my kids. I'm 157lbs and should be around 130 to be healthy and comfortable
You look amazing Hannah! Congrats on your weight loss and thanks for being a high carb vegan, love it!
this video was exactly what I needed. I've been vegan for 9 months now and I have lost 60lb. thank you for this video!!!! it reminded me to focus on the big picture!
You’re awesome! 👍🏻😁 Your before video is just unbelievable! Keep up your great effort to motivate all of us! Eating healthy is not a phase, it’s a lifestyle. 💕💕💕
I've been struggling with this. I just tried out the starch solution for 10 days. the first week I lost 2.5 lbs. and now it is just kinda sitting there. I'm so used to diets where you lose a ton of weight fast. but I keep telling myself those aren't sustainable and that even 5-10lbs a month is totally acceptable. Super hard to get out of that mindset, tho.
Wow! What a transformation! I just love your videos and recipes!!
I know this is old but I never thought of taking a before video of me. I have pictures that others have taken of me and I haaaate the way I look. Hopefully, my transformation will be self inspirational as I am not brave as you to share. Thank you!
You are not, Annoying, You are Awesome, thank you for all You are sharing here, You look, Amazing, love, Diana Lipski 💕
Loved your video and our honesty. You did not mention how much water you added in the pasta. I would like to try it in my Instant Pot. Also, did you just use the saute setting? Thank you and keep on doing what you are doing. Love!
So proud of you! I was 130 libs 3 years ago, lost 20 pounds quickly, and now I'm back where I started so... I feel like I'm that person again.
Yes, as a HCLF vegan- but restricted calories and over exercised. I was going on vacation and wanted a temporary quick fix- obviously went a little crazy though. So please don't do that, take it one day at a time. You could even try a temporary paleo vegan diet and see how you feel, but I know some people will yell at me for saying that.
+laurawashere i had the same experience. lost about 20 lbs very fast when i first started hclfv, then gained it back. But, I wasn't being consistent when we went out to eat, and I definitely went on yo-yo calorie restricting binges. I've recently just forgot about losing weight and just trying to be healthy and very consistent. I'm literally almost to my goal weight now, and can wear clothes I almost gave away b/c I thought I'd never fit in them again LOL ;)
Your before and afters are always to inspiring! You've made amazing progress.
I agree with before pics - when you feel like giving up you can look at your progress and that i find is the most motivating. Nice vid ^_^
One of the dogs always looks kinda scary because it has this tooth sticking out 😂🙈 but it's probably a nice dog XD
+ninaandianfan21 I was just gonna comment about how cute that is. lol...It's an underbite, common in some breeds. I've known a couple ppl with it too. lol
+Aura Gael 😂
hot house produce here in bc is not sprayed , they use insects to control pest
i talked to multiple hot house growers
so its ok to by non organic ,peppers , cucumber and tomatoes ..helps with the budget
Thank you so much for your videos, Hannah! I look forward to your videos every morning.I am getting married today and I just watched this video as I was waking up :) Your videos remind me of how I should love my body at any stage and to never give up. With your encouraging words, I am feeling beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you!!
Thanks for the food ideas. Dog guardians: in case you did not know (this might save millions of dogs) you can buy Top Paw dog pee pads (there are a number of similar companies), place them on top of linoleum kitchen flooring or inside of a shallow plastic box ( the kind of box that you can slide under a bed, about...maybe....16 inches by ....22 inches, about five inches high). Put the box with one pad per box (about three) next to your bed. Your dog or dogs will pee on the pads after they drink water. The dogs are calmer than 'holding it' until you take them out for a dog walk. Unfortunately, you probably need to get up immediately, or as soon as possible, to put the used pad into the trash. Often, they will let you go into a deep sleep and not wake you up after they pee. But if you are awake, they will let you know that they would prefer to have that used pee pad put in the trash. Try to leave a window or two open an inch or two for cross ventilation. Human sense of smell is much weaker than dog sense of smell. Maybe ten times weaker. Top Paw pee pads can be bought at Petsmart stores. A dog walker told me that the only item he buys at Walmart are pee pads for elderly humans (designed to be placed on top of bed sheets), which he buys in bulk for his two small dogs.
