if i’m not mistaken, i believe you made a video about 9 years ago on why you went vegan and that was my first time even hearing about veganism & i immediately made the decision that i wanted to be vegan. i have been vegan for 8yrs now, thank you ❤
Congratulations! Glad to know you’ve stuck with it this long. 💚 When I first went vegan I made a video on a channel that I share with my sisters. Never on my individual channel have I.
Thats awesome!
@@ToniMitchell The fact that you mention the channel with your sisters…. Are y’all okay? You don’t have to answer, and I hope I’m not being too intrusive. just has been a long time since any of you updated the page hope you are all well.
@keshnadonia my sentiments exactly!!
@@keshnadoniaI miss the sisters
“Supersize Me” “What The Health” & Now “You Are What You Eat” - all good shows that really helped me.
Forks Over Knives is aso great!! My HS bio teacher showed it in class and it honestly changed my life. I was so intrigued and shocked at the food industry, i’ve never looked back
I would love 2 know how it changed your body like your menstrual cycles, bowel movements, your skin & hair & your energy 😊
hey! when i went vegan, it had more frequent and easy bowel movements (most of the time they didn’t smell), my menstrual cycle was light and short, i didn’t have PMS, and it was on time every month.
my hair was growing and my skin was clear. also, my energy was high, i was doing yoga everyday and working out maybe 4-5 days a week.
my sleep was better. i was battling ovarian cysts and fibroids from childbearing and when i wasn’t vegan/plant based.
now that I’m not vegan, all of these statements are no longer true for me. i’m slowly working my way towards veganism/plantbased. i find that my mind, body and spirit benefits from being vegan/plantbased.
It took me decades to change my diet. I gave up red meat and pork when I was 23 and slowly phased out other items. I've been vegetarian and pescatarian and didn't make the full transition until 3 years ago in my early 50s after trying a few times and failing. I feel amazing and wish I made the switch in my 20s. Thanks for sharing.
Its really working for you. You look so healthy and your skin is perfect 👍🏿
I just went vegetarian and it has been good so far. I do it for health. I’ve always been a healthy eater and the first thing I let go was Pork after that it got easier. I just started juicing as well, and I absolutely love it. I am a very active individual in the gym and I have a bachelor’s degree in nutrition. Being vegetarian is something I want to make a lifestyle. Thanks for sharing your story with us♥️
Thank you for posting this! Spirit has been weighing heavy on me lately in regards to making the switch to a vegan lifestyle. This video serves as confirmation that it's time. Thanks Sis! 🧘🏾♀️🌱🫶🏾
Over this past holiday season I watched 4 documentaries on Netflix about our meat industry in this country and immediately switched to a planted based diet and I am super excited about the changes I hope to see in my health and diet. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
What were the documentaries? I'm interested!
@@DaniAdamswhat the health, poisoned, you are what you eat, the game changer
@@deewaltonrealtor Thanks so much!
I’m glad you shared your story and appreciate your commentary on the differences between vegan and plant-based. I did a video on vegan vs. plant-based on my channel and it helped a lot of people!
Can you do a video on your fav body and skin care items? Thank you!
I’ve been thinking about this switch as well. It would be helpful if you posted cooking prep videos.
Happy New Year and much success to all you do,very uplifting and insightful,as usual always enjoy your content and the creativity it brings 💪🙏❤️😎
I’m a baby in this but I’m vegan for a month so far. I feel great and already lost 32 pounds. I actually wish I started this sooner
Wow 32lbs in one month? I need to try. Do you have any loose skin?
Wow 32 pounds in a month? I need to figure out what I’m going to do. Do you have excess skin and did you workout? I’m wording it a certain way so my comment stays visible.
Love how much research you've done. I've been plant based consistently since 2019 but started the journey in 2014. Hope that you're taking care of yourself physically and emotionally
Happy New Year Miss Toni!!! ❤
My endometriosis was killing me and I feel so much better since I’ve stopped eating red meat and consuming dairy.
I stumbled across this mrs toni and i have been shot multiple times from my neck down to my legs and was trying to get off meds after being paralyzed,i felt i needed to change my diet and have been trying to go vegen and mad at myself cause i was thinking i could do it right away, i appreciate your video and you sharing about your family mam have a great day and im sorry about your lost mam thanks again for your video l.
This was so awesome and really helpful, thanks for sharing! I'm working each day to change and better my relationship with the food I eat! So this was really amazing to watch.
Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing!
You are such a beautiful individual, thanks for sharing, 11 years in 6 months.
I'm exploring becoming Vegan. This video as well as the other content you said to checkout is helpful in my researching and prepping to make the change. Thank you for channel as well as sharing your experiences.
Im a 50 yr old woman with elevated lipoprotein little a☹️ Heart doctor told me I could eat just lettuce everyday and it wouldn’t change it. He said it’s genetics. Heart disease and strokes run in my family ☹️ Ive been on blood pressure medicine for 24 yrs and now cholesterol meds. Im having some muscle tightness and nerve issues. Its scary. Im trying to eat more just plant base now reading all the facts. Ive been told Im loosing muscle mass in menopause now😳( of course why not more) I want to make sure I’m eating enough protein and getting enough vitamins being on plant base. I may have to keep taking the cholesterol meds, not sure. Im trying to find a simple way to get proper amounts of vitamins and minerals and not have to eat so much. Is that crazy🤔🤪 Love all your information. ❤Christy from Va
I've been wanting to add more plant based as far as entree but struggle with what to make.
Happy New Year Toni ❤
Miss Toni Happy New Year
Honestly, your perspective is awe-inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thank you for sharing this information. So enlightening. Especially having a plant based diet aiding in combating world hunger 🙏🏾 Never thought about that
Thank you for this video! I am pescatarian and have been for 8 years. I am considering going vegetarian or vegan.
Veganism is not an easy road (especially in the beginning) but it’s definitely worth it if you can maintain the lifestyle 💯 I did it for 3 months but I missed fish and cheese so I decjded it wasn’t worth it for me 🤷🏾♀️
This is why you are my favorite fitness influencer! You are such an inspiration!❤
Toni , Can We Get A Skin Care/Body Care Routine? Your Skin Is BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Toni, Happy New Year to you as well. Is there a way to get in contact with you to discuss more about your journey? I have a family member that I am trying to help. Be well.
I really loved your video! I've be thinking about going vegan or vegetarian and your video really gave me I better understanding of being vegan. Thank you so much😊
We appreciate your openness and Vegan content! We have a Vegan Vlog channel and have both been vegan for many years 🌱! It's exciting to share and here people's experience 💕
Love your videos and this was so inspirational!
Thank u for sharing!!! 💚💚💚
I’m trying so hard to go vegan. I eat fairly well no salt, sugar, processed foods.. we eat mostly fish and chicken and lots of fruits and veggies working on removing dairy due to indigestion. Hope to get there hopefully
I have sickle cell disease so I need iron enough red meat for health but I eat many veggies that you would think I was a vegetarian. I really wish I could be vegetarian but you got to put what your body needs first.
Would you be able to swap it for beans or take a supplement?
Can you do a what I eat in a day video?
Great work as always, Toni ❤
yea red meat was our first cut out also.
Beautifully stated. I am 11 years into my vegan lifestyle and it has made living more beautiful 🥰. Thank you for sharing 💖.
Great story toni keep up the good work ❤
Im a flexetarian. I go back n forth - long stretches of veganism. But if I have a craving, I eat the craving. Also - I love & still use honey.
Same I’m a flexitarian
Thank you really appreciate the video!
Happy New Year! In February, I'll be vegan 19 years! And I love you WIEIAD videos!!!
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate you! Wishing you all the best in 2024! ✌🏾💜
Love your channel. Exactly tue reasons I went vegan since 2016.
The book "We are the Weather" is one I can't get out of my head. But so do all the sources you listed.
Forks over Knives got me .. Went Pescatarian a few years
Did your energy level change when you went plant based ?
Thank you for sharing your personal story. It hit me near and dear to my own story. I hear you and it solidifies my decision to become a vegan. Breaking bad habits and making good ones.
My. Thoughts. Exactly. I made the transition after recognizing what was on my plate with the way that I feel about animals. Every benefit is incredible.
I did it for a month a I still see results.
Toni ❤️❤️
Additional documentaries I would suggest are “Gamechangers” and “The Invisible Vegan”
Omg. We have grown w you. You’re like an internet cousin!
Thank you. I'm trying really hard to become healthier and eat better.
Thanks for sharing your journey to know better is to do better foods especially the eating habits in America are detrimental if you don't read the labels. Many companies show bioengineered products
Well-constructed argument on the benefits of Veganism. You clearly are a thoughtful, kind person. I love meat but can start working more plants into my diet. Be well, Toni. Happy New Year!
It's okay to love meat, but just know that you may not live as long as you were created to. Meat eating people live 10 to 20 years shorter lives than vegetarians and vegans. They are also more likely to be overweight, unhappy, and sick in the last years of their life. If you eat meat regularly. Replacing all your meat and dairy for just one week with nuts, dates, salads, lentils, plant-based meats, and healthy bread/toast will increase your life span. After about two weeks,
you will start realizing that you don't need it. You will spend less money on food and you will start looking at everything differently.
💪🏿 Absolutely ❤
Your very. Informative knowledgeable keep at it
Hey Toningtoni, great story about how and why you became Vegan, you look great, you're looking beautiful and very fit, so 👍 & ❤ Darling!

Love it all...❤
Salute 👸🏾
💚
Toni, I am 52 and I have played with the idea for years. Went cold turkey for 3+ years and went back. Now I am pre diabetic and showing increased risk for heart issues based on my blood work. I have been spending quite a bit of money the last three month with a nutritionist but, my body is telling me I need to go vegan 100%. This video popped up this morning and I know it is a sign.
Hey Toni
2024 is about to be Epic
Almost lifelong vegetarian, now vegan, woman over here. I exercise regularly and strength train. Honestly, I feel like a teenager! I tell my hubby he hit the lottery with me. 😂😂😂 PS. ❤ Your videos! 😊🏃🏾♀️💪🏾🏋🏾♀️🦵🏾🥦

I feel like vegan is a like a diet of version of healthy meal that became and turn into a healthy new name that's a good idea in my own head however I believe it really has it's own natural qualities just like an individual would be and do to a healthier life style. wow you siting in a yoga position show vegan is more clean and healthy that any one would start it as they new diet more like a style to just eat better. okay love ya help and instruction go Toni Mitchell you Rock! and happy valentine to you and a healthy New year season. You have different personality that stand out more as if you are of a couture of inheritance good black people couture, anyway you are a bless from above amen May you continue too pure of your wisdom for your own good and for others and need of your gift amen.
Would you date someone who was not a vegan?
Please do a collab with Dr. Bobbie Price😊
Yes that would be perfect!!
I'm Pescatarian however I fast a lot and remove fish from my diet as my sacrifice for God. I LOVE LOVE LOVE seafood but now I desire it less and less because Im so used to going with out it. I always knew I would some day become a Vegan. So I love that you shared your journey sounds very familiar to my path
Thank you so much for sharing I am vegan as of 2024 before I was vegetarian but vegan was a better choice for me ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to be vegan I'm just lost and don't know where to start
👍👍👍👍💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I really like your perspective. I’m absolutely vegetarian for the climate. I am mostly vegan. But as an omnivore I do have meat or non-vegan foods every year. Usually when I’m traveling or going to new places. But when I’m at home 99% of the time, I’m vegan AF
A lot of contradictions in this comment. A vegetarian nor vegan never consciously chooses to buy and consume animals products if it isn’t necessary. I think you mean to say that you’re a plant based dieter, not a vegetarian/vegan.
I wanna go vegan but I see so many ppl saying the diet is not healthy, and bad for you, but I still wanna try.
Check out Mic the Vegan & Simnett Nutrition’s videos. Nutrition Facts is also a good evidence-based resource
You're so pretty 😍
I love watching these while eating steak
Why I went vegan is thanks to the bikers who shot me 5 times, after reconstructing my digestive system the only thing I can eat till this day is beans,potatoes and rice.
You should make a video explaining why you are so fine
Hubby and I were vegan for about 3months but ultimately we decided to go with 😮
Steak dinner 🍽 on me! Pick you up at 7pm. 😳
Ye look fresh as a daisy 🌼🇮🇪👍
14:00 she saw r/vegan too and got scared😂
Vegans rule.. 👏🏾Nuff said. Well, sort of!? (Don't come for me) 😇 Also, long live the Mycelial Network, and us 'humans' of course. Peace and blessings. 🙏🏾
