I love Kiki! She was the one who got me started on my journey. I lost 2.5 sizes in my 60's. I'm not skinny, but no high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, or any meds. Love you guys!
I started plant base foods bout year ago because of stomach issues and I was wearing size 22 & 24 I’m now wearing 14& 16 I’m going for size 12 exercises walking daily And dancing with Monique on You-tube
I have lost 21 pounds, since the beginning of 2023. I changed to a plant based diet. I do eat salmon once a week and mackerel occasionally. I fast from 7PM until 11AM. I am eating wonderful, delicious food and am having no issues with the partial daily fast. I am so thankful for these changes!
You cannot say that you changed your diet to a plant-based diet and then say you eat salmon once a week, that doesn’t make any sense, your highly plant based yet not fully.
Dropped seven prescription drugs and lost forty pounds by cutting out the processed foods and processed sugar. I have kept it off for eleven years. This is not easy to do, but definitely possible to the committed. In time your taste will desire the healthy foods. Although you will have to tough it until the shift takes place.
As far as body shaming goes, it really does have a lifelong negative impact. I had cycstic acne that left scars. I am 56 now and I still remember when I was in my mid 20's I had someone's toddler on my lap and they pointed to my acne scars and asked me "what's wrong with your face"? That innocent question was BURNED into my brain...I finally feel like I am almost past that!
You just have to love Kiki - I follow her since a while and find her so inspiring but also so real and like able. Glad to see you have her on the show again 🥰
Kiki is the real deal! Love her and her recipes soooo much!! Can't wait to get my copy of her book delivered this week!!! Thanks for having her on your show once again!
I pre-ordered Kiki’s newest book and it should be here today or tomorrow, I can’t wait. I switched our diet over to a plant based one after my husband had an MI with STEMI. His cholesterol levels are now fabulous. Thank you to both of you for all that you do to get the word out!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kiki’s cheese sauce is amazing…one thing I have around most of the time to keep me on track as I work on improving my health. Her compassion is uplifting and she is truly an inspiration for the rest of us. Louise J.
Thank you for addressing the issue of having healthy skin and hair, especially for someone with hypothyroidism. I read “the starch solution” and was concerned about these issues. I would not start the diet because of my doubts. Thank you for alleviating my concerns.
When you guys talked about the pressure during family or social outings, I felt that on Easter! Not so much that they were pressuring me to eat other food but, just the overwhelming amount of misinformation! My SIL was saying that we aren’t rabbits so we shouldn’t eat lettuce in particular or any raw veggies. Then another person was saying- you’ve never seen a fat farmer! Umm…yes I have And, they probably have heart issues. These people homestead with animals and eat the animals. It made my skin crawl the way they were talking farming and then all the fatty dairy and meat they eat. 😭
You can't change people. My mother's family are farmers. Several of them died in their 50"s. Many have diabetes. Almost all are obese. They make fun of me because I get out & walk when I visit. They say, "She's just trying to show us up." My husband was the same. He died at 48.
annemccarron it is so sad to see relatives waste away their lives like that. But what can we do. They were too weak to change. "You were showing them up" They could join you instead they choose failure. So sad.
I never got into ketosis on Keto and my LDL kept going up. I think I need to up my plant-based diet because I have not dropped below 150. I know what I need to but… OMG the night hunger hits hard. Nuts and seeds can still hurt my belly. Adding: I do not crave meats at all but chips still calls me.
eat your favorite fruits for nite time hunger thats what i did A1C went from 10to 6 within a month time when i stop eating meat However now i do eat salmon , mackerel, tuna & occasionally buffalo ribs.
AMEN KIKI !!I always felt like I had to suffer to lose weight! Now I can get comfortably full and have lost 30 lbs on a wfpb eating!! Only 5 more pounds to go. Also I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I WAS able to lose 16 pounds on keto, but had a gallbladder attack and had to stop. Of course the weight came right back. I do plan cheat days. Holidays and birthdays 😆 I enjoy every bite, but I have to be careful because I made myself sick one birthday party because I got FULL on rich food. I make smaller portions now. Also I get one single serve sweet per week, without guilt, and enjoy every bite. I don’t keep ANY other types of foods that aren’t wfpb in the house. I have a grown grandson and had to tell him to keep his treats in his room. I’ve seen other people who had their family members use containers with locks for their lunch meat, cheese etc, because they can’t handle the cravings. Desperate times call for desperate measures lol. I love Kiki and just bought her Plantifully Lean cookbook. I watched hers and other wfpb videos daily for the first 6 months to learn and keep me motivated 💜 I urge everyone to give it a try. Any diet that you can’t stick with for life will not work ultimately!
I’m so looking forward to her book tomorrow (11th). I’ve benefited from her videos and recipes and am happy to support her dedicated work (which I will further benefit from 😊)
Thank you so much for this video. I follow The Happy Pear chefs on TH-cam and to reduce gas they advise emptying canned beans into a colander and rinsing until the bubbles disappear. Sending best wishes from the UK.
Love kiki! Have watched her for. A year during my journey! Also love Chelsea Mae! She has an interesting story as well if y’all have not had her or high carb hannah on the show!
I just love this! You two talk like you’re old friends. I am so encouraged once again by watching your channel Chuck. I really didn’t want this one to end. Love you Kiki I follow you and watch you all the time.❤
I did Atkins long ago.... I lost weight but was listless. I was a zombie. Kiki is the WFPB expert among us. Been a fan of her fantastic attitude for some time now.
Thank you Kiki you’ve just confirmed to me that I’m not just a liar… that’s my favorite line when I’m out & food temptation is a 💯… I also say “I have just had that” I ate it last night/yesterday 😂😂😂😂
Taco Bell. That's still my husband's go to. The last time we went, Ed ordered bean burritos without cheese. He discovered, the cheese really had no effect on the taste. Still lard in the tortillas, and beans, but it helped
Yes, she does. around 38 minutes in she describes her skin journey. Short story: she used to have serious acne - switching to whole food plant based fixed it, with ups and downs.
Why do I get this on my news feed? I have incredible intolerance of green vegies and pre diabetic and SIBO. If I eat veggie I will be in hospital in 3 hours.
What is your plan for ultimate weight loss , approx 70 lbs. How long did it take you Kiki to lose your wt and did you notice weight loss right away. You look amazing!!
Realize this is an older interview, but with the mention of good fibers, veggies, etc, an older individual with no medical issues will still see changes in their bodies ability to digest these good foods that were no problem a few years prior. Filling half a plate with even great salad greens can produce extreme bloated issues the following morning : ).

This is the most effective and fabulous diet on the planet. I am in veggie heaven and lost 40 pounds. No cravings ever.

I fast daily from 7pm to after work which is around 3pm. I never eat at work anymore. I have no problem doing this. ☘️

@@genevieve-gh3lp How thoughtful of you to make this point.
Well done, these changes can be difficult at first. Amazing results Xoxoxo

Love her! It’s because of Kiki that I was able to go WFPB and stay this way for almost 4 years now. Thanks for having her on!

Plantiful Kiki is such an inspiration.

Kiki is so genuine and kind to those on her youtube channel. She is definitely one to follow for weight loss and life inspiration.
Love watching Kiki's TH-cam videos. She is such a kind and compassionate soul. Thankmyou Chuck for having her on your show
Agree with Kiki, no other diet works as well as WFPB. Failed miserably on all the current fad diets but this one works.
Kiki is the real deal! Love her and her recipes soooo much!! Can't wait to get my copy of her book delivered this week!!! Thanks for having her on your show once again!
I’ve got to get her book. Her “cheese” sauce is a favorite. I’ve tried other recipes for it, but Kiki’s is the bomb!
Seriously the yummiest!

I love Kiki. I have been following her for a while now and she is so adorable and inspiring! ❤
It's good to see people turn their life around and become healthy. Plant-based 💯
We love Kiki!! Just got her book and its amazing!!! Way to go Kiki!
The sad thing is that Atkins is still popular. Even in hospitals. My brother had open heart surgery at age 52 and they served him steak!
Just received my copy of Pantiful Kiki lLean....The book is gorgeous. Thank you.
Kik is a great help ❤. I love her videos. She has helped me figure things out.
I never got into ketosis on Keto and my LDL kept going up.
I think I need to up my plant-based diet because I have not dropped below 150. I know what I need to but… OMG the night hunger hits hard. Nuts and seeds can still hurt my belly.
Adding: I do not crave meats at all but chips still calls me.
To get your body to accept nuts and seeds, you can try nut butters.
eat your favorite fruits for nite time hunger thats what i did A1C went from 10to 6 within a month time when i stop eating meat However now i do eat salmon , mackerel, tuna & occasionally buffalo ribs.
Kiki is such an inspiration! I can not wait to get her book, should be delivered today!
I loooove Kiki! ❤❤❤

What an awesome and inspirational interview. Thank you for sharing.
Great guest - I have Kiki’s first two cookbooks and love her channel!
I just love this! You two talk like you’re old friends. I am so encouraged once again by watching your channel Chuck. I really didn’t want this one to end. Love you Kiki I follow you and watch you all the time.❤

great conversation and I can relate
I just bought the book. Beautiful presentation. Haven't tried any recipes yet but I'm excited
Love Kiki! So glad to see her on your program.
Wonderful interview, great questions!👏🏻🙏🏻
She is an inspiration. I love her cookbook
Yes, kiki, thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you Kiki you’ve just confirmed to me that I’m not just a liar… that’s my favorite line when I’m out & food temptation is a 💯… I also say “I have just had that” I ate it last night/yesterday 😂😂😂😂
I am so Happy! I can order her book in Sweden❤️
I love Kiki recipes. I have tried some of them & they r delicious. You go girl. Blessings.
Such a cute name, Kiki. 🌸 Thanks for the show today and I'm looking forward to trying the vegan cheese dip recipe!
Im guessing she is Greek and her name is probably Vasiliki. Kiki is short for that.
@@acdcmiami She is Mexican 😂 Not Greek!
Whatever she is, she's beautiful and she's inspiring other people!
@@thindarella I just saw a video in which see said her dad lives in Mexico 😊. So yes, she is Mexican. Thank you.
Wow, Kiki Fantastic to see you on Physician committee with Chuck. Just see your new barn house on your big farm. Done a lot of your recipes😂
Not finding a link to her book in the show notes. You mentioned it would be in there!
Taco Bell. That's still my husband's go to. The last time we went, Ed ordered bean burritos without cheese. He discovered, the cheese really had no effect on the taste.
Still lard in the tortillas, and beans, but it helped
They don't use lard in the beans and tortillas.
I pre ordered the book and can’t wait to start to cocking..
I re learnt what's a "treat" ... those foods aren't really treats. Walnuts and Medjool dates now that's a treat .. yum xxx
Exam Roomie is so cute, I had to subscribe ☺️
Such a wise woman ❤
Bought Plantifully Lean in Colorado Springs’ Barnes & Noble.
Did you get the signed copy?
I’d love to hear the other two ways to build the plate.
2/3 through this. I'm a going to order her new book.
Does she mention how she gets her skin so luminous?
Yes, she does. around 38 minutes in she describes her skin journey. Short story: she used to have serious acne - switching to whole food plant based fixed it, with ups and downs.
She still uses makeup. She does a few makeup tutorials on her TH-cam channel
Bravo! Cruelty Free, ethical, and you look great! 🤗💚😽🌿🌾✔️
Love you Kiki 🙏
I just ordered the book
Why do I get this on my news feed? I have incredible intolerance of green vegies and pre diabetic and SIBO. If I eat veggie I will be in hospital in 3 hours.
I pre- ordered her book..😊❤
I got my copy this afternoon :)
What is your plan for ultimate weight loss , approx 70 lbs. How long did it take you Kiki to lose your wt and did you notice weight loss right away. You look amazing!!
great work
How long did it take her to lose the 70 pounds ?
Love Kiki!
You youngsters. I used Cambridge, which was out before Slim Fast was even a thing.
It’s my birthday and I’m buying it!🤣
OMG!!! Cheesy Gordita Crunch was always my favorite at Taco Bell also!! 😂❤❤❤❤
How can one obtain her book?
I would say Amazon.
It’s in stores now: Barnes and Noble.
I'm in my 70's!
Svaka cast!
❤❤❤

Whos is that? Blaire White?

She looked better as a heavyset woman IMO..
We love ❤️ you Kiki! 🤗
