You look so tan and pretty. I love how initially you inspired Plantiful Kiki in her journey and now she’s inspired you to eat more veggies. Everyone supporting one another. Love it!
totally and then she inspired me back to eat more veggies haha
@@HighCarbHannah Both of you are very inspiring and keep me motivated.

THEETH WHITENER TOO..
@@monicadzisiak7291 ive never used chemical teeth whitener, charcoal toothpaste helps a lot!
I decided to make the broccoli and hash brown dish after watching this. I had no high expectation and as I was preparing the dish was feeling very sorry for myself about my huge appetite and inability to lose weight. I take all the negativity back! After having eaten a portion for my dinner I am complete satiated and totally satisfied. It was the most delicious thing I have eaten in a long time. I have hope that by following the principles you suggest I will lose weight and not be miserable in the process. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
I lost 70 pounds and so did my dad (see my TH-cam channel) by doing this most of the time (we eat off plan once in a while and don't stress out about trying to be perfect). No thought involved, no stress, no counting calories. Just changing the foods we ate. I lost 55 pounds without doing any exercise, and started walking after that and the rest of the weight came off. It really works!! I'm almost 50, and my dad is 70, and this has been our lifestyle for 7 years. People tell me I look like I'm in my late 30s, it really does make you look and feel more vital!
Oh! I love your channel! 😍
I love your channel. You and your dad are so cute together!!!
I love your channel too!
I Kill Chickpeas I love your channel, your Dad is adorable. I’m just a few years older. I need to do this!
I love your videos, and you definitely look younger than your age.
I have been working with a dietician since January and they teach this as "healthy plate. 1/4 protein, 1/4 carbs and 1/2 veggies. I have lost 20 lbs and plan to lose more as I concentrate on this being my lifestyle!!
Congratulations! It's that half veggie concept. I wish I knew before
I might need to try this. I've lost a lot of weight but it has stalled. It might be as simple as I need to reduce calories now to lose weight.
Great! I've been trying keto for 3 weeks and am down 13lbs. Suprised I'm not craving sugar.
Wynona 7 what is the half veggie concept ?? I would love to try this! Please let me know
@@dreaw5641 half of your plate should be non starchy vegetables
Ding, ding, ding, the light has finally come on. Thank you so much for this information. I am going to try this. I don't expect getting a body like yours but I need to try to loose some weight and getting as healthy as I can. I am 72 and on dialysis and I want to live as long as I can.
Cheers from Australia.
You Got This Helen💃🏆

@@TT-sp5st Shut up isn't a question, child. Helen was referring to HERSELF when she typed that. You are very immature why don't you "SHUT UP?" and learn to keep quiet. The adults are talking. Thanks.
@@TT-sp5st it's almost impossible to read this post in a negative way unless this is part of a bigger issue for you.
Best wishes to you Helen. I am rooting for you.
It’s so crazy that weight loss is so simply bc you literally just needs more veggies less processed stuff. I’ve made it so hard trying thousands of failed recipes. I’m trying this challenge! Thank you!
Ive lost over 130 lbs and shes smart vegies are key tgey also fill u up😘 u can do it girl!
Joy Neville omg congrats on your weight loss! I’m determined to do it! Thank you.
Thanks we can do it girl!!!
Can ranch be apart of this🥺
@@kayleighm7856 think of the cows!
NOTES :)
- calorie density- eat more veggies. (The amount/nutrition of food per pound matters. )
- eat half bowl as vegetables
This. Literally any diet can have 10x the amount of food by doing this.
A high protein low calorie dense option is spinach(think popeye the sailorman).
20kcal per 100g, 40 to 50% protein, 20% fibre by calories.
If people do keto - Olives 120kcal per 100g, 85% fat, 7% fibre.
If people do high carb high fibre - Asian pear 41kcal per 100g, 20-25% fibre by calories.
Or Artichoke 53kcal per 100g, 40% fibre by calories
Agreed
You solved the code..
When I first went vegan I was eating a ton of vegetables and fruit and I lost so much weight, but then I started seeing a bunch of people (not naming any names..) on TH-cam, etc, eating more carbs, and I stupidly started doing the same thing. No joke, I put on 40 pounds in like 4 months, and I was addicted to carbs. It was the most weight I had ever put on in my life. It has taken me a while to get back to where I started, but in the past 2 months I have realized that more vegetables are the key, and the weight has just been falling off. Plus I feel amazing! So much happier, and less irritated, and I have more natural energy throughout the day. So now it is mostly veggies and then only small amounts of carbs and fats.And what you said about salads is so true; it is better to have a salad with some fats than no salad at all. I don't like the maples syrup and mustard dressing either, greens just need to have fats imo.
EDIT: by carbs I mean processed carbs and starchy carbs like rice, pasta and bread. Yes, fruits and vegetables are carbs, but they are very high in fiber, which is what helps you to lose weight. Fruits and vegetables are also high in vitamins and minerals. Potatoes are vegetables, they are considered starchy vegetables, I do enjoy them, as they are full of fiber and vitamins as well. As for what I eat exactly, I try to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, but I do eat a lot of green vegetables like broccoli, kale, romaine and Brussels sprouts. I have more of a salty tooth than a sweet tooth, so I don't eat very much fruit, but I like bananas, watermelon, oranges, strawberries, grapes and blueberries best. For fats I eat avocado, nuts and seeds, and sometimes put cold pressed olive oil on my vegetables. I also eat quinoa and lentils a lot, they are very healthy and full of fiber as well.
Relative to weight and sugar intake do you limit fruit to a certain amt a day? I have sweet tooth. I crave a little sweet 2 or 3 times a day. So far a couple spoonfuls of a fruit smoothie bowl seems 2 curb it. Like 2 to 3 bananas and 8 berries is ok for me even almost every day @ snack times.
Let's not confuse people though... Fruits and vegetables are "carbs" lets differentiate by maybe saying Starches or Starchy Carbs or (if you were consuming them) processed carbs....I just dont want the new people thinking fruits & veggies are not high in Carbs.
@@silversagerae6353 thanks just what I thought

@@silversagerae6353 Thank you for that because I had gotten confused by his comment
I think one golden outcome of half a plate of veggies is the fact that it takes the counting, the worry, the anxiety, the obsession, the guilt, etc. out of this. Heal the mind too while we're at it.
Jenny T Ditto
Very true ! Going to start doing this more
Amen
Quarantine has me all sorts of depressed and not motivated lately. This video actually helped me out of that. Went grocery shopping, ready to exercise every morning again, ready to tackle life again. Thank you ❤️
“I just wanted to look pretty for you guys so I put on earrings” haha you’re so cute. I love how light and natural your makeup is!
Would love to see more, "Eat more, Weigh less" videos
Milton I love those!!!
Yesssss
A foot surgery in January that left me non-weight bearing for 8 weeks, followed by a quarantine has put weight on my body...ready to lose it!
I’m in a similar situation! I injured my ankle quite badly a few weeks before quarantine so between that and quarantine it...hasn’t been great lol.
5 knee surgeries over the last 3 years...I feel your pain! Definitely excited to jump in with this way of eating and get the extra weight off from being so sedentary!
Hi!
I had my first child in Jan. I was excited to start going to the gym but unfortunately a pandemic occurred.
Lets stay optimistic we can do this challenge!
This speaks to me more than any weight loss video has before, and I’ve watched a lot. I need to be FULL and feel satisfied and diets have always failed me. I’ve been vegan for years with no real loss, and I’m morbidly obese so I need to lose weight. Thank you for this. Subscribed to this and your instagram now.
Hows it going?
This is what I'm talking about!!! I hate, hate, hate calorie counting, and feeling hungry. THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! YEAH! Thank you so much, Hannah!
That fact that tomorrow is the first and a Monday gives me motivation to start this half veggie routine! Thanks!!
Hi Hannah! I judy ordered all your books I'm so excited!! Question- is there such a thing as not eating enough calories??
Yes, I have been following this method of eating as a vegan since the start of the year, I have lost 37 pounds so far and still going. I've been just walking and it just comes off. Love the half plate method and its not miserable to do 😂
Love it, love you! You are beautiful and glowing ❤❤😁
Hoping transitioning to a vegan, mostly plant-based diet can help with my Lupus diagnosis and getting back into a healthy place! Love your channel.
Hannah Shafer hi I was diagnostic with that too. Like you I am going to try to be vegan.
It will!!!!! I had it positive but not active, luckily with a vegetarian diet it helped 100%
I think it will really help you! Just be gentle with yourself 💜💙💜
Its been said that it does help.. Enjoy the journey.
WFPB alimentation has _greatly_ helped alleviate various autoimmune conditions I've dealt with having a genetic immunodeficiency.
Increasing intake of leafy greens & eliminating wheat, corn, rice, tomatoes, high oxalate veg, YEAST & sulphites + certainly no GMO foods (organic as much as practicably possible too) has all helped remarkably🌿💪🙌
I lost 10lbs since November 2019, with this exact "method" that she talks about. It really does work and it is so simple.
10lbs in 7 months is great. Its healthy, long term, and shows improvement. It's not about how fast or impressive it shows dedication and 7 months of dedication.
B it’s recommended to lose about 1lb a month, she lost more than that so yes it is
@@LilyOfTheTower yeah maybe it's healthy but 10 pounds for long 7 months is so disappointing for people who lack patience
@@reebeckie571 It depends on how much weight you “have left” to lose. If you are closer to your weight range for your body or you are already within your weight range and you are trying to get to the lower end then this is a huge accomplishment.
Sarah Espinoza it’s recommended to lose 1 to 2 lbs per week not month
you remind me of Phoebe from Friends, just the way you speak and your style, gorgeous😍
O Just statred to watch this video, and i taught exactly the same!!!
I on Mo k
I was wondering who she reminded me of! 😊
I agree too
Oh my gosh yes
Please please please make more of the “eat more weigh less” videos! 💕
You’re looking incredible Hannah!! I’ve recently lost 13kg and what you’re talking about has truly changed my body. No feeling hungry, lots of Whole Foods and loving nurturing my body
It's hard to keep weight on the body when eating lots of vegetables! It's miraculous! Thanks so much for sharing your story. Best wishes!
I have to admit... I was super nervous and didn't click into this video for a few days because I was worried that you were going to come on here and say that you had gone GF or raw vegan or some other non-realistic 'fad' type diet but as always, you're keeping things real and science-based and I love you for that. This was really the wake up call I needed to get back onto the veggie train. So thank you Hannah, for continuing to inspire me in a healthy, non-obsessive way
I've watched your videos off and on for years. Heres what I am now realizing that is underrated about your whole approach. Your methods are sustainable and it shows over time. Im returning to WFPB, and feel great. Seeing someone like you who has been consistently authentic is incredibly helpful. I feel like we all want fast results but seeing your continued progress and learning shows it works!! Happy for you, and thankful.
Right?! I watched her for years and never understood e way of eating she did.
I just started eating about 80-90% plant based for about a week and have already lost 5 pounds! I can’t wait for more!
Omg, when you sat down to eat and chat I was like “yassssssss!!” Took me right back to your OG Minnesota and Tuscan vlogs. More of that please!!!
I've stacked on poundage lately because I've stopped eating vegetables as the main food. Thank you for this nudge 🌼🌸🌼
Its hard sometimes to find the motivation ive lost over 130lbs naturally and sometimes i have to remind myself vegies vegies vegies lol😘
@@joyneville7246 that's fantastic! 🏆🌼🌸🌼
Hannah thank you so much. I'm just finished my first week and I'm down 3 1/4 lbs. So delighted. Thanks for the motivation 🌼🌸🌼
I’ve implemented some of these things and have lost 15 lbs in 3 months. I ride my bike a few times a week and I garden which keeps me active but I have not done any hard work outs. I actually have a hard time eating all the food. I get fuller faster and stay full longer.
This makes total sense. I ate like this when I lost a lot of weight a few years ago. Back then, I didn't realize this was a thing (Density Diet). Over the last couple of years, I've gained back a few pounds and a couple of inches. So now I am struggling to loose again. I am so happy to stumble upon your video. This is exactly what I need to get myself back on track.
You are really glowing Hannah!
This is so cool that you posted this! My sister and I decided 2 weeks ago to add salads to lunch and dinner every day. Like big salads then add our little mixture of tofu, quinoa, or chickpea with more cooked veggies. Then we just mix it all together and eat it in our giant serving bowls lol It's so satisfying and we feel amazing!
That sounds delish
What kind of dressing?
Hey Hannah, I am so on board with eating more veggies, because sadly I am not a person who can eat all the catbs she wants. For 2 years I stuck to Chef AJ's UWL program and gave up all salt, sugar, flour and oil. To be honest: I hated my food, it just did not taste good without a bit of salt. I could have lived with that IF it had gotten me the results I wanted, but it didn't. I guess I was still eating too many carbs. Then life happened, I was under a lot of stress and started bingeing on vegan ice cream and potato chips - for a couple of months! I gained 22 pounds and found myself at my heaviest in 20 years. Now I added back a little salt to my food, cut in half the amount of carbs I was eating and increased the amount of veggies for each meal - and lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. Not only that but I actually enjoy my food again. I am not saying that UWL is a bad program, it just wasn't the right one for me. I have seen numerous people who had great success with it!
Congrats!!
The lemon being squeezed in the water in the beginning was so satisfying
And over the salad too!!
Until your enamel on your teeth starts to wear out.
Salad dressing:
3 T lemon juice
3 T water
1/8 tsp xanthum gum (thickener and helps it it cling)
Stevia to taste
I have been yo yo dieting for the past 3 years of my life and could not figure out how to stay lean. Once I implemented the volume eating style (I can eat a lot) I lost 25 pounds easy and I have completely stopped my binge eating and now I understand how to maintain my new weight. Even eating out doesn’t give me any stress anymore because I understand what to get. Thank you for talking about this!
I can’t wait to start this challenge with you! Please keep sharing recipes - also would love some tips on packing for a 12 hour shift. (I’m a nurse)
Trying hard to get back to clean eating so I’m definitely going take up on this challenge! Great idea to get a lower calorie meal
so before i saw this video, about 2 weeks ago, i started implementing a process of eating a normal breakfast add veggies if i can, fruits or veggies for snacks, salad at lunch, then regular dinner, it's been about a week. i feel so much better. honestly. working out is so much easier because i don't have a belly full of crabs and bad snacks. my stomach is so much less bloated. i feel so much more full. i should mention i do eat meat. even for your meat eater fans, your veggie method will totally work.
I am finding it so hard to give up my morning bagel.
Hannah, we’ve been watching you for months and just now commenting. We love you and so appreciate your content! This video was exceptional. Thanks for your passion and commitment to share your knowledge and journey with us!
I haven’t felt so inspired by a video in a long time. I went away from eating vegan a few years ago, long story, but I’ve been going back to eating more plant based. Slowly incorporating more fresh veggies and fruit. I feel more at peace again, it’s hard to explain. You and banana girl are the reason I went vegan to begin with. I actually found her first, but it was when I found you things started to line up and i made the switch. Anyway, thank you for sharing. You look radiant, I can tell you feel amazing. Wish I you well. Can’t wait to start the challenge on Monday.
Second all of this 💛
I think with eating a vegan diet your morals and actions become aligned and it feels you are living your truth. Well that's how I felt after going vegan anyways. I no longer have that nagging feeling in the back of my brain that something isn't right ❤️🌱
Hannah, I have been following you since the very beginning- I feel like we went through the "80/10/10" to "raw till 4" to "starch solution" to finally the "healthy, balanced, vegan diet" phases together. I feel like I know you personally, which is so bizarre to type out! Thank you for always being real, for sharing your journey in such a vulnerable and authentic way- you stay being such a source of truth. I appreciate you, thanks again!
Isn’t this not that much different from the starch solution? In fact, this is one of the options for McDougall’s ultimate weight loss
solution. He is the creator of the starch solution.
@@danyale06 I think in her earlier videos she talked about how Dr McDougal's nutrition principles helped her and she's followed a version of his program during times of an optimal eating.
This actually looks like the starch solution though.
Cauliflower rice "Oatmeal " with vanilla bean, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, & nutmeg is amazing. Add any veggies. Doesn't sound good but try it, bc it changed my eating!
You cook it with water?
@@karoma5805 Yep with water! It freezes well too!
That’s such an amazing idea!!! Thank you!!
@Patriot Jefferson I make it on the weekend and freeze the fresh chopped cauliflower, but I'm sure frozen would be fine. Put it in fridge the night before. Happy to share thia yummy treat!
Sounds jummy! Can I use frozen cauliflower? If so then how :) Thanks
Anyone else thinking, "please eat the food before it gets cold!" 😆
🤣🤣
@C J she says the main point of the vid at 4:00
I am so grateful to have you share your experiences. I love REAL people like you who have actually struggled with their weight who share their success stories. I am tired of exotherms telling me how to lose weight LOL so thank you for being real and honest and so generous with your knowledge. You’re showing us the old ways of eating (no processed junk!!) thank you for being such a beautiful inspiration!
I love making dressings out of Tofu! You can blend it really smooth and add basically anything to it. It’s also less calories dense than avocados or nuts. My go to fav right now is a cheesy jalapeño dressing.
1 block of tofu
1-2 jalapeños (up to you on the 🌶spice level)
2-3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste 😋
Thank you!
Great idea! Sounds nutritious too
Excellent suggestion and also a great way to use up left over tofu
iKaren What’s left over tofu? 😂 It can go in anything. My adult son gobbles it up!
Soft or medium tofu for salad dressing right?
It’s funny, I started to cut down my fruit intake and replace it with veggies and I’m finally starting to lose my last few pounds and a lot of my gut issues are getting better. The power of veggies.
Right? FRUIT was making me as "big as a house".....I thought pineapple had fat-burning amino acid compounds but I was getting BIGGER BY THE DAY! until I ditched pineapple, pears, peaches, and bananas and replaced with cucumbers, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, and bell peppers.
"I just wanted to look pretty for you guys, so I put earrings on today." wholesome :)
🤣She's so funny and cute! ☺️
😊 so beautiful and it made me smile.
Right! Not much effort needed and she’s beautiful regardless
I love this plan. I was a junky vegan until I started watching Hannah. This way of eating is so easy and not much effort to keep track of foods as long as you make sure to eat non-starchy veggies along with your potatoes or starchy veggies of choice. 50/50 or add more non-starchy veggies to help with weight loss. Thanks to Hannah and Chef AJ I have found a lifestyle way of eating that has is sustainable.
When I started being vegan about 6 y ago, it was so easy, I lost healthy amount of weight and was feeling so active and energetic. Since I moved 4 y ago and gained a lot of weight, I am struggling to go back. And now during the Covid I feel like struggling even more (as still working and it stresses me out that there are restrictions to go to shops). And I realised as well that not eating salads or smoothies that much.
No joke this is probably the first vegan recipe type video I've seen that actually seemed realistic and doable. I'm DEFINITELY trying that hash brown bake!
I really want to try the challenge! I'm so tired of being overweight and yoyo dieting. I have gained so much weight since the quarantine. I feel sick. I need to be healthy for my family and for myself.
you can do it!💪🏼
I believe in you!
Watch Cydnee black on how she lost weight personally I believe that’s the best way
FR ❤️💞
Try intermittent fasting. I lost 8 pounds in a little over a week.
I feel the same, but just wanted to say you are absolutely gorgeous!
You're so pretty Hannah! Your diet is so consistent and balanced, and you're such a great example of vegan/plant based health. 👏🏽👏🏽 definitely the best on youtube!
How to lose 10 pounds in a day before going on a vacation: toss your old swim suit and get yourself one that's flattering for your figure, and that doesn't sit too tight on you. Oh, and make sure you try it on after (not before) having a meal. 👌😅
That's funny!
Really like the half veggie method, and the idea that lots of other wfpb foods can still be eaten, just veggies need to be more front and center. The calorie density is a great way to explain this, thank you. When do you incorporate beans into your meals? We have beans at least 4 or may 5 times a week at dinner, sometimes more if lunch is leftover beans and rice (from your instant pot cookbook). Also, we cut our salad with scissors too!!! Lol
You could use this as a new cook book idea in the style of your Lean and Clean one! That would be so awesome! I love all your recipes, I’d love a book where I could easily access them all. This vid was so awesome Hannah, you’re so knowledgeable and fun!
I buy a head of cauliflower every week and grate it on a cheese grater and add a half a cup every day to my oats. I really love the texture it gives and I can't taste it.
Interesting! Do you cook the cauliflower first, or add it raw to the oats before cooking (then cook them together)?
Randi Watkins I add it raw the same time I add the oats to the boiling water.
I do the same with a small zucchini or half a big one
I add cauliflower to smoothies too! Love that there’s no taste
One of my favorite ways to eat cauliflower is to pickle it! With agave (or a liquid sweetener), sushi vinegar, chili pepper flakes and it tastes so good!
I’ve been following you for YEARS and it’s so true that we forget many key points of weight loss as we go thru our journey. Love this episode! Love this challenge! 💚 🌱
Just ordered some Soom tahini!
I started off at 222 pounds I have released 43 pounds down 19 pounds to go :D I eat so much vegetables as a vegan I ♡ it. Great tip to eat more vegetables. Calorie controlling has helped me along my journey find what works for you and stick to it!!
Just started eating more clean and exercising more this week and I'm happy I saw this video! I don't really need to lose weight but I want to get in better shape and just be healthier. I'll start eating this way (half of plate veggies). ^^ Thanks!
So ready for more “educational” type videos! You explain things so simply/well and I can’t wait to learn more from you❤️
❤️❤️❤️thank you!! I’m on a health journey of losing weight! I’m tired of yoyoing. You’re an inspiration!
This is crazy awesome! I found Plantiful Kiki on Sunday and started do the 50/50 plate Monday morning. It's fantastic and I'm never hungry. What a coincidence that I find you ladies and a few day later you drop this challenge. I'm in!
I love her videos too yeah this is great info😁
you hit the nail on the head (at about 9 mins in) with the "aha" moment of, "hey maybe I'll stop cooking with oil, cut back (way back) on the nut butters, etc. Your videos, have help me just become aware of where I can make changes. Thank you so much.
She makes it really simple and her food actually looks so good! x
Good advice. I have been yoyo dieting 10-20 lbs for the last 65 years. Yeah, since I was ten and tried every scheme in the book (or on TH-cam) and calories ( or caloric density) is the key to keeping the weight down.
Girl you shine from inside! That’s how a future mama should look like
I’m definitely gonna try the half veggies method! I’ve been in such a negative mindset and watching your videos really puts me back in a positive weight loss mindset. You’re awesome 😁 🌟
It ALL matters once you go through menopause.... anyone here who has not does not understand the TRUE struggle.....and anyone who has gone through it knows that what I say is true. I have fought weight my entire life, but it turns into a whole different struggle after menopause. So enjoy the EASY struggle of weight in your youth, because it will give you the tools to endure what is to come!
Yes totally agree. I was tiny my whole life. Now at 47 years old...menopause gives me extra pounds from nothing..😒🙈🌺🙏
I was able to "easily" loose at 44, now at 51 and in perimenopause, it is so difficult, and I have been gaining. I know it is attainable, but hormones make it seem like climbing Mt Everest!
You're Preaching to the Choir!💯I'm in yr 6 of Menopause & I can gain weight eating pocket lint.
Sooo true😫🙄😑I just look at a chocolate bar or cookies and I gain a lb...lol.I'm finding I can't eat so much Carbs as younger people ,I'm "48 yrs " young.more veggies is easier said than done,but I know that is the key to losing weight.👆🏻
I hear ya. Never gained weight expect during pregnancies but now 42 and I had to get serious about nutrition and fitness. I think I’m in pre-menopause due to only having one ovary.
I’m not vegan. I did used to be vegetarian, but now I have a homestead and raise my own eggs and pasture raised meat. So my diet is a bit different, but I love the idea of focusing on half of my plate being vegetables. I also have a huge vegetable garden so the produce I have available right now is just about the best thing on the farm at the moment.
What your doing is what GREG DOUCET SAYS, calorie deficit, and keeping stomach stretched, and full with low calorie foods. Greg doucetts cook book, is suppose to be one of the best for anabolic low calorie meals.
I really enjoyed this video, thanks Hanna! Would love more 400 cal meals ideas. I'm trying to lose 20kg! I'm determined to do it this time! I have been vegetarian and vegan a long time but ate wrong foods, wrong portions, don't eat much fruit, but love vegetables!
I made it "this" far girl :). You started my vegasn whole plant based journey way back when you started and I always appreciate any of your vids!
Yes! I needed reminders about calorie density. I'm 6 months postpartum after my third baby. I lost 40 pounds before I got pregnant with my third using a whole food plant based diet while keeping calorie density in mind. Since I was on a weight GAIN diet while pregnant, and also because I was sick (morning/all day sickness), I got in the habit of eating a lot of nut butters/dates/whole wheat pasta/Ezekiel bread (and there's nothing wrong with that, they're delicious and healthy!), but I am once again looking to lose 40-50 pounds to get back to my ideal weight. I haven't seen any loss, and I think that's because I forgot about calorie density, and have continued with my still healthy, but calorie dense, diet I was on while pregnant. All the early postpartum late night snacking on date/chocolate bars with breastfeeding hunger because I was too tired and busy to remember to eat throughout the day didn't help either 🤣. Thanks for the reminder to eat my veggies and remember calorie density!! It really is that simple 😆.
I feel you! I'm breastfeeding my 20mo and weigh, maybe 40-50lbs more than before pregnancy. I want it baaaack!!
Don't beat yourself up. My daughter turns 2 in July. I was still at 190 when she was 8 months old. I gained a whooping 75 lbs during my pregnancy due to hypothyroidism. I went full Vegan and walked 1 hour a day for 30 days and lost almost 20 lbs. I've been Vegan ever since and practice Yoga daily. It's a perfect fitness route for those with several children. Have a blessed day & stay encouraged!
You can definitely be a low-carb / keto vegetarian / vegan!!! I literally just made zucchini ribbons (easier than zoodles, just use a peeler), made the "meat" and sauce using groundless beef from gardein, tomato basil sauce, mushrooms, onions, garlic, etc! Then I topped it with some vegan ricotta. OMG!!!! this was soooo delicious!!!!!
I had an issue with dressings myself. I have found my favorite way to dress my salad is taking 1/2 avocado, Italian seasoning blend, garlic powder, onion powder, almond milk and salt. Blended in magic bullet. Makes the best dressing and it goes so far. Just add more milk to make more dressing-best replacement for a former ranch addict. 😋
I'm going to try this!!
I love this!!! I’m just embarking today on a no sugar challenge - added sugar that is not fruit sugar. I have gained 40 lbs in half a year and that’s mostly from eating all the chips, chocolate and processed food. I can’t definitely implement more veggies as I love veggies!
I’m doing the same thing! I have been vegan for 4 years now but this last year my processed food/added sugar intake has increased dramatically. I’m on day 3 of no added sugar! Wishing you the best in your journey:)
The Peace of Wild Things make sure to be balancing all those delicious veggies and fruits with a bit of carbs and protein as well as some simple at home workouts. Trust me girl, those pounds will start falling off without you realizing!
This is a great challenge, especially during this Covid time because I'm alone but feel like part of a team. Here's to hoping there will be more health/weight loss challenges this summer! :)
Great video. I've lost 60ish pounds (226 January 19 - 168 today, was 161 start of quarantine). People don't believe me when I tell them how easy it was. Lay off the booze, stay away from oil and eat a ton of calorie dense veggies. I have strayed a bit since quarantine life started and plan on refocusing. Want to get to my goal weight of 155
calorie dense would be like potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn , peas, etc. or did you mean calorie sparse veggies like lettuce, radishes, celery, mushrooms etc.?
@@frick6946 Sorry. I mean eat a ton of NON-calorie dense veggies!
this video was a godsend! i could literally cry. it seems so simple, but it has been so hard for me to consistently keep off weight my entire life. however this is something that ive never done before and i think i could give it a shot. thank you so much for this video and sharing your progress. im soOoooo excited to try it out!!!! 🥰🙌🏾
Thank you. This really hurled a lightbulb on for me with the half a plate a veggies idea. Much appreciated and hi from Australia. 😊
This is so true! I ate a side salad and vegetable (cooked, raw, sauteed, steamed, roasted,etc).I do eat meat, but I made those portions smaller, like the size of my palm. I lost 12 pounds in two weeks.
I'm proud of you☺☺☺☺
I am currently 190 pounds (my heaviest non pregnancy weight) since having my daughter nearly 2 years ago. I was 165lbs when I got pregnant. My husband would never eat that way. He's a mac&cheese, instant noodles, pizza pops kinda guy. He drinks a TON of iced tea (SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR). I need to try this.
We are kinda in the same situation. My girl is 2 years old and I've been trying to lose weight just lately. My guy is really fit but he eats CRAP (same as your guy) and I eat healthier but I've been plateaued. I'm trying to lose it in a healthy way as well as create healthy habits that I can bring my daughter into as well.
I watched the whole time! This inspired me. I watched your videos when I first went vegan 4 years ago but have been getting really lazy lately so this was helpful.
Girl! Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling trying to figure out how to eat healthy / not deprive yourself / . This helped me so much I’m so excited !
Thank you. I'm nearly one month into my new life style and whilst I have a lot to learn I'm already feeling so much better. I have tons more energy which I love and I'm at the gym and walking more.
Fab channel and thank you for the free cheat sheet 😀 👏 👍 😊
There is a korean stirfry potato dish you might like:
Stir-fry potatoes and onions with oil (vegetable, avocado, or grape seed oil), soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang sauce, and sugar or sugar substitute or maple syrup or blend a korean pear. Cook to your preferred tasting.
That sounds amazing! I’m definitely gonna try it out
omg definitely trying this!!!
I’ve been a continuous yo-yo dieter my whole life. I like to be FULL and can never last long when I feel restricted. Calorie density might be the missing piece I needed to lose weight while not starving myself. Thanks Hannah ❤️
Don’t mind the longer videos at all! I like all the nerdy info 😂 Thank you, Keep them coming! I did a plant based diet before and felt great but the weight loss was so slow. I had just been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s at that time. I really think plant based helped heal my gut etc but then I got back on the low carb even keto train to lose weight faster and of course health and gut issues came back as well 😩 I’m definitely a believer in plant based now ❤️
I’m been eating only raw veggies and fruit! I really feel that it cooks out a lot of what I need and my intuition doesn’t lie!!!
I’ll be posting about it soon. It’s magical along with going to the gym. How I eat and what I do is mental for me. The looks of it is a bonus! Your intentions go along way. Thanks for sharing!
I've been following you for years and I really want to start this and have me and my family healthy! I struggle losing weight and staying at a healthy weight
Gonna join in on this challenge. I've lost 40lbs so far eating a whole foods plant based diet but my weight has plateaued for a about a month, it's time to start eating more veggies!
Missed you! Your videos are the absolute best. You're always super helpful and authentic. Glad you had such great success. You look radiant ✨
After binge watching a few of these, I have a random question I'm so curious about. What do you eat when you're craving something sweet? Have you been craving sweet things lately?
Ive found that sweet fruit like watermelon helps with that.
Thanks guys 👍☺️
Pineapple 🙌🏻
Firstly Hannah, you look radiant and lovely! Secondly - hats off to you for your perseverance in trying to be an inspiration to your fellow ladies of the world. Thank you for bothering - it can't always be easy. Keep keeping it real. A virtual hug. x
Thank you for keeping it real and sharing so much detail. I'm just getting started on plant based and this really helps. Thanks!
Berries are a great low calorie- high density food. I’ll have a green smoothie an a bowl of raspberries and blueberries in the morning. Yummy
What do you put in your smoothie?
I love a good smoothie used them when i first started my weightloss journey! 132 lbs down now still love a good smoothie😘
@@apterousangel I know you didn't ask me lol but felt like sharing my thoughts anyway :) For my smoothies, I personally don't put only fruit cause I usually have no problem eating fruit; it's the veggies that I struggle with. I put a big handful of spinach, sometimes cucumber or carrots, prob a Tbsp or two each of chia and hemp seeds, and some fruit to make it taste good. Sometimes blueberries, sometimes a frozen fruit mix, etc. Oh and water and ice too haha
@darla I've also seen a lot of people add cauliflower or even broccoli stems that they saved and froze from previous meals. It makes the smoothie creamy and you can't even taste it. It's a great way to sneak in some veggies 🙂
This is the most sustainable and healthy lifestyle. I am also a volume eater and have had great success filling half my plate (sometimes more) with veg as well. Starch solution for life!
I hung in there! Very inspiring!!! You look beautiful, I’m glad you’ve found your way. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
23:25 I have my headphones on and was literally swatting & slapping at my ear thinking there was a mosquito in my living room hovering looool
My dog was looking for the fly :-).
I’m not a woman, but your channel is inspirational and helping me. I’m trying to do it vegan, I lost a lost doing keto but it was too limited and I gained weight backed.
