Processed foods full of refined flours and sugars: BAD!
Whole Plant Foods: GOOD!
What about FRUCTOSE? Only industrially processed sources of fructose (i.e. high fructose corn syrup, table sugar) is associated with negative health impacts. FRUIT SUGAR IS NOT.

Your best health and most content self is achievable through a healthy lifestyle, centered around abundant whole plant foods and genuine self-care. It’s achievable if you gather the common-sense information, cut the bullshit, and commit to your wellbeing as a real priority.
I also encourage us all to acknowledge our inherent responsibility to protect our environment (currently being decimated by animal agriculture: the leading cause of green house gas emissions) and speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves: the billions of sentient beings who are tortured and slaughtered every year. OUR CHOICES MATTER.

How do you feel about smoothies? I love a banana blueberry smoothie but for breakfast it just makes me feel really hungry still. On the other hand, oatmeal keeps me full for up to 3 hours
I toss oats in my daughters smoothies so i dont hear "moooooooom im hungwee" in 15 minutes.
Why not both? Lol
earth star it's worth a shot
Amanda G are u adding a protein powder, chia or hemp seeds? Have u tried added yogurt or peanut butter? Those all make me more full from a smoothie 👏
banana blueberry are awesome. Lately ive been making banana orange(frozen banana/frozen orange) and oh my god its my new fav. And oatmeal is is my god haha, I LOVE it
i have watched so many wholenplantfood vegan videos but lily is truly an angel. she really gets it. i dont think anyone else's message has resonated with me like hers. i have been vegan for 2 years but lately i have been eating so much better because i am so inspired by these videos.
I would love to see a video by you discussing reverse osmosis water. I just installed a RO system at my house and I'm loving it, but I've seen some discourse online as to if it's beneficial or not. Great video today!
What kind of sugar do you use if your food isn't sweet enough... like your oatmeal, grits or sweet potatoes?
I appreciate everything that you say but there are sometimes that what you are saying is completely over my head. I’m like say what? Lol. You are so smart and thankyou for challenging me and making me understand by taking apart the chaos that the try to feed us. 😎🍎
Thanks again Lily! Always something good to take away from your videos.
This is so right. Uou are so wise and you know what ur talking about!
Potatoes and asparagus for dinner! I’m so so full and didn’t want to snack at all. I do a rice mix over mixed creams so I don’t over indulge on the rice. :) have to resist the urge to “celebrate” a good week with weekend junk!
Hi Lily! What do you think about food that we process ourselves, like nut milks or "lentil loaf." I have made both of those things and enjoyed them. Would you say they are just as bad as processed food that we purchase? Considering I cooked/blended/mixed/filtered these things? I would love to know your opinion. Thanks!
Thanks Lily for the beautiful way you connect your diet with natural whole plant foods. Like you I imagine a Time when we learned from nature instead of destroying it including our food sources. Two of my lifelong favorites in the middle of winter are home made oatmeal raisin cookies and pumpkin pie. Wondering if you can give my two favorite desserts vegan twist. Perfect time of year for me to follow your lead. Thanks again for another awesome video my favorite vegan. JP
Around Christmas time I posted a recipe for vegan Pumpkin Pie on my Instagram. If you search Lilykoi Hawaii cookies on youtube, you'll find my oat cookie recipe!
This is such an important video!!! People hear carbs and think "no, those are bad, it's a fact," and that's so inaccurate. My own mother says "others might be able to eat carbs, but I can't. Carbs hurt my weight, health and energy," but it's because she's eating a predominantly animal based diet full of processed foods, sugars and only drinks soda, plus she's under the impression that everyone is different when it comes to dietary needs. Everyone needs to see this video because there's a HUGE difference between good and bad carbs and until people understand that they'll just keep blaming their problems on the wrong thing. #teamlilykoi #carbsarelife #literally
SHARED before I even watch in full :)
I am SURROUNDED by diabetics at work. They seem to think of themselves as experts on carbs for some reason, and want to criticize my food. I can sit down to eat a couple bananas on my break and get mobbed by people telling me I shouldn’t eat them, they are high carb, and there is way too much sugar in them. I get told that bananas are poison! The people telling me this live on overly processed foods, tons of dairy, tons of eggs and bacon, and Twinkies and donuts!!!! Twinkies and donuts??? I seriously can’t listen to people who are diabetic, eat Twinkies, and accuse me of eating poison when I eat a couple bananas! It happens constantly though. Ever since going vegan, I have people with the poorest diets on the planet, attacking me for my whole food plant based diet. It is literally the weirdest thing I have to experience.
Oh good lord... I FEEL YOU!!! It's like living in the twilight zone.
I’m still struggling with weight loss so I will see you soon in another one of your videos. 😄Thankyou gurl
Thanks for sharing your research.
People lump SIMPLE and COMPLEX carbohydrates together - and that's the problem!
Always love your videos! I was watching another person's video a few days ago and I said hmmm I wonder if Lily is going to make a video about this. And poof - you did :)
I love your videos Lily!! 👌😘 I needed to hear that tbh!
I've been HCLF for many years andni thrived on it but I was gaining weight a lot... i tried LCHF (vegan of course) this year and....oh god i felt so good in my body and i loss so much weight and i was digesting everything so well...butbi had all the side effects you tall in you keto video...and i was sad regarding what was in my plate...im back to HCLF for a week and i thrive once again on my food but i gained all the wait and i have digestive issues again...my diet is far from perfect but I'm enjoy meal like your recipes. One day I'll find whats not working for me and kick it out of my diet hehe. Love you from Quebec Canada xXx ✌🦊
Your videos are (literally) life-saving. I'm always learning something new from you, Lily. Thank you for your hard work and excellent presentations. Not everyone can afford their own nutritionist and your videos are an engaging resource! Thanks!
Thank you, Jen, I'm so glad to know you're benefiting!!
Loved the video, as always :) btw, WHERE is your shirt from??? love!
nevermind! i found the name from your keto video :) celeste.sullivan7 on IG for anyone else interested!
There's one good use for white sugar: for making your own hummingbird food. ☺️
Hi love! Can you do a video on the saturated fat in coconut oil?
Is that a Takamine acoustic guitar I see in the background?
I love the owl tattoo on your arm. My owl is one of my favorite tattoos.
Can I ask what the issue with oil free, sprouted breads are ? Example: Alvarado street bakery sprouted whole wheat. Here is the ingredient list: Sprouted Organic Whole Wheat Berries, Filtered Water, Wheat Gluten, Organic Dates, Cultured Wheat, Sea Salt, Organic Raisins, Fresh Yeast, Sunflower Lecithin. John McDougall recommends it along with a few other oil free kinds
Lily! I know I always eat more /overeat on legumes, do you think I should give up on them?
Caroline Keller hahah yes :"")
Don't give up on them, just balance out your food so that you're not craving one thing. Find other foods that you like just as much.
Zuza Stella Try mixing them with a couple hearts of fine cut Romaine lettuce, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. It will fill you up for very few calories, and provide a nice crunchy counterpoint to the softness of beans.

Not even for super high intensity/duration exercise? Like if I'm about to do a 5k race and I don't want to have stuff digesting in my stomach but need the carbs, or if I'm in the middle of a 100 mile bike ride and can't afford to bonk, are these not decent enough scenarios to justify refined sugar? I know these are fringe cases, but they _are_ cases nonetheless
I did mention later in the video that I do still include processed carbs in my diet from time to time - including sugars - but it won't be helpful to have them all the time. In the situations you mention, do what you need to do to get yourself through the exercise, If that's what you're choosing to do. There are also options like dates which are very high in available sugars yet still, technically, a WPF. Your call!
What about vegan homemade breads/cakes made from all whole food ingredients? ex: pumpkin bread made from only oats, pumpkin, dates, nuts
You had me at carb😍😍😍
What do you think about rolled oats? I sometimes will have the plain steel cut oats (long cook) because they're not processed but I do like to enjoy rolled as well, but I don't get quick rolled oats I get the kind you have to cook for like 10 minutes (it's Bob's Red Mill brand), are those ok/considered a whole plant food?
They are technically processed, but I've heard plant based doctors specifically say that rolled oats are still A-OK!
Fab as usual! 🌱
I love plain tofu so much, is it bad to eat a lot of it?
rolom3 did you see her video she posted a few days ago about soy? If you haven’t, watch it.
So gluten free bread and rice cakes are a no-go? Darn! It’s my weakness :( my husband and I are starting our journey to wellness, your videos are super helpful!
Unfortunately gluten free baking does tend to contain very highly processed ingredients 😪 And usually A LOT of oils. It's such a shame.
Gina Ann You needn't drop them all cold turkey. Look at it as a process, phase these foods gradually out of your life, eating less of them as you would a treat, rather than relying on them as a staple. Worked for me... i no longer crave bread...perhaps may help you?
Laurie Paris thank you for the advice!
Gina Ann ...YW...Hope it helps! 😊
The only good time to use white refined sugar is when one is making kombucha! 😉
How often do you eat "bad" carbs (sweets)? I'm a perfectionist and this tends to lead to extremes in my eating behaviours... especially because I still struggle with binge eating... I don't want to eat these foods anymore but I'm still addicted... and don't know if I should allow them on special occasions like if somebody invites me for dinner or in holidays... don't know what's the best 🙈
I used to be very much the same... I either ate nothing or TONS of the bad foods. I found working on the emotional reasons I felt so overwhelmed by food choices (feeling like I was "ruining everything" by eating a treat, being scared I'd lose control, thinking I'd weigh more or have breakouts the next day, etc) helped a lot more than trying to further manage what I was allowed to eat and when. 1.) I crave sweets only when I'm not letting myself eat until I'm full of whole plant foods, 2.) if I live in a world where I'm "not allowed" to eat vegan ice cream, I crave vegan ice cream and get obsessive... If I'm allowed to have vegan ice cream when I genuinely want it, I then feel a lot less emotionally charged about the choice. It's hard to answer your question exactly... it's anywhere from once a month to once a week... and I've become one of those annoying people that can eat a couple bites of sweets and be done... 🤷🏻♀️
Is peeling bananas, oranges, avocados etc. still means we eat whole food? What about firm shell of beans and grains? Just wondering where is the borderline for allowed level of processing.
Orangutans eat whole bananas. ;¬)
Well, there are some vegans I know of who choose to eat the peel, and yes, many primates don't discriminate... I personally wouldn't enjoy that. So I suppose I personally consider Whole Foods to constitute the whole EDIBLE portion... at least what's traditionally considered edible by our species...
Is white rice (basmati) bad to have everyday? It's my favourite and it's not that calorically dense but it could be less than ideal
Well, it is less than ideal. I love white rice, too and we have it once a week or so. There are also the issues of the potential arsenic levels in rice, which Dr. Greger has made several videos about if you haven't seen them, so it's wise to vary the grains you're eating anyway. Maybe you can see how it feels to mix it up over the next few weeks?
super inspiring
Would you say raw honey and coconut blossom sugar and things alike, good?
I'm watching this drinking a red bull, knowing I shouldn't 😣😣
99red engines You're literally drinking slow acting poison. Lol. Put the Red Bull down! You know it's wrong so don't do it!
I love fruit but that you cannot overdose on fruit is not true. I eat very healthy and vegan and if i eat more then 1kg of fruit a day (too much for me) it can get a gout attack! Symptoms are worse if i eat high oxalate foods around the same time (tofu, beans, almonds etc) So it's not just the refined sugar, cookies etc.. but also intake of fresh fruits matter, unfortunately. :(
#Vegan Great information and perfect aclaration.
Hi Lily, I really enjoy watching your videos:) I went vegan recently and I'm eating hig carb low fat. The thing is that I always have a deficit of vitamin E at the end of the day. How could I fix that without eating too much fatty food?
Love from Norway:)
G-g-g-greens, baby!!! Spinach, chard, mustard greens, and kale are great options... it doesn't take a lot of pumpkin seeds or almonds to deliver a lot of vitamin E, either. Some fruits, like papaya, are pretty high in E, too. Glad to hear you've made the transition!! Take good care!
Thank you so much! You are an angel o:)
Love from South Africa Lily!!! You have now idea how much you inspire me! Yep there are vegans in South Africa too hahaha.Loins are my friends!
I crave steamed broccoli and zucchini and carrots. Oh and blanched mushrooms! And steamed peas. Tomatoes. I could go on...
I've tried a very high carb, vegan diet and I felt awful. My body couldn't handle all the carbs, I gained weight, was bloated all the time, and my skin and hair was awful. I lasted 4 months before I switched to a vegetarian low carb, high fat diet. Upon switching, the weight melted off, my skin was much clearer than it had been in years, and my hair stopped falling out. I wish I could switch to a vegan high fat diet, but it is very expensive and limiting. It's not 100% feasible at the moment, though I do try to have vegan days :/I think blanket statements that carbs are good, or carbs are bad is a dangerous thing to say (not that you have, this is just a general statement) because everyone reacts differently. I would love to digest carbs normally! It would be so easy & cheap to incorporate more fruits, starchy veggies, posts & pasta into my diet more often!
Lush I think you should watch her full weight loss series as she explains in full details about fat intake, weight gain on a vegan diet, ketogenic diets etc.
Ketogenic diets/high fat diets that make you go into ketosis actually make you lose weight so fast by making your body sick. It's extremely dangerous! Lilykoi also pointed out in her "gut" Videos how a high fat diet is highly associated with the membranes in your stomach and intestines becoming semi-permeable, which is extremely dangerous and hard on your kidneys and skin
Lush If this is true, see a doctor. If your body can't handle fruits and vegetables, there's something seriously wrong with you, and I say that with concern, not derision. Unless a significant amount of the carbs you were eating were processed, there's no reason they would give you all those symptoms, unless one of your internal systems isn't functioning quite right.
We are high carb creatures, so if you can't thrive on that way of eating there's something going on. Yes, when switching to HCLF veganism or veganism in general you will most likely see things get worse before they get better because your body needs to heal all of the horrific damage that you've done to it, and that's not a pretty stage. But if you stuck it out you'd have seen the weight come off, skin clear up and health improve. It's a fact. Nothing gets better overnight. And you don't even have to do HCLF, just being a healthy vegan eating whole plant foods will drastically improve all factors of health.
I do a higher fat diet with a lot of nuts and seeds and that helps me a lot! So is that maybe a possibility for you? Or avocados? Don't know where you life so I don't know what the prices are in your country.
Check out More Salt Please’s latest video. She had the same experience as you.
Just remember there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" its just that there are only certain amounts that, health wise, we have to consume in smaller portions. The one's we have to consume in smaller portions are what people label as "bad" because you can't have much of it and it can be addicting, like the donuts. Either way, there's only a certain amount you should consume of everything! That being said, you can live without eating donuts whereas your health will truly suffer if you live without fruits and vegetables.
I disagree. You can eat as many fruits and veggies as you want and be fine (thriving actually) but you can't eat as many processed foods as you want and thrive or even be close to fine. If you have to eat small portions of something to be okay, the food in question is bad. Is one standard donut going to kill you? No, but that doesn't make it any less of a bad food.
Well, coming from someone who went to school for nutrition, you're wrong. Research (Go check out some free pubmed articles) says otherwise. Caloric intake is the first thing to pay attention to. You absolutely CAN gain weight if you overeat fruits, vegetables, anything. Its just harder to do. Check out some raw vegans, there are a few who talk about how they gained weight from eating just plant-based.
It also doesn't = bad. :)
I agree with you on this. The thing is that it does not really matter how you call non optimal foods, we all know donuts are not a great source for anything and there are always better alternatives. BUT it can really f* you up if you try to eat clean all the time and become dogmatic. I have this behind me and it messed with me pretty badly. The world does not end if you eat a donut every now and then. It does not destroy you. This does not mean you should live from donuts. The dose makes the poison. Everybody has to see for themselves but it did not help me to label foods as "bad" and "harmful", it made me want them and then not enjoy them. I can deal better with being allowed to eat non ideal foods while being fully aware that there are many much better and more nutritious alternatives. Then I can make conscious decisions pro health instead of feeling restricted. Almost every food has been demonized until today and I think the demonizing itself is a much bigger issue than the food itself because panic/anxiety related to food and taking good care of yourself don't go together well. Suddenly you end up unable to eat anything anymore because everything has disadvantages.
Exactly the point I was trying to make! You said that all very well and made other great points :)
