Here is a little tip, don't boil your broccoli in water and drain out some of the nutrients. For frozen veggies, just put them in a pan/pot without water, cover and cook on very low heat. It already has enough water to cook on its own.
Thanks for the tip, but I'm already aware that steaming veggies is better and that boiling veggies loses more nutrients. I boiled them based on convenience only because I have an extremely busy schedule and this is more time convenient. As I mentioned in the beginning of my video, this isn't the healthiest way of eating. 😊
I love how clear and real you are about your diet!! I really perked up when I saw that gorgeous sweet potato :) I'm super excited to follow your progress.
Don't do Raw till 4. There's a rule in it that tells you to "smash in the calories" which is leading so many followers of this program to significant weight gain. Just eat when you're hungry and stop when full, as long as it's all vegan😎
courtney Vegan what if you're actually trying to gain weight? I have like no fat on me but want to go vegan and I'm scared to turn into bones as I've tried it before and lost a lot of weight. I've realized I obviously just needed to eat more but worried with working out and avoiding soy products which a lot of high protein products contain is going to make me lose weight.
Jasmine Valiente raw till 4 is too restrictive. if you want to gain weight, make sure you're getting enough carbs and protein without restricting fat. non soy sources of protein are vital wheat gluten (in a lot of veggie alternatives), nuts, seeds, etc. don't be afraid to use olive oil while cooking
I am vegan as well but I don't know if you still want to be vegan but my suggestion is to eat a lot of healthy fats and it will help you to maintain the weight rather than losing weight!
Finally found a vegan diet/health/body building channel! Every vegan channel I follow is mostly them eating large amounts of foods, which is awesome but I was looking for someone that focus on dieting and hitting the gym thank you! I'm stuck!
Wow Toni! Your hard work and discipline are really paying off. You look fantastic and I can feel the positive energy coming through the screen (cheesy , I know but whatever cause it's true!). I've been tweaking my macros to try produce the best results for myself. I've had some success but it's been very slow. I can't tell you how encouraging it is to see you looking and feeling so good after finding the sweet spot with your nutrition. This video has definitely reminded me to keep my head in the game and be patient with finding the right macro balance for my weight loss-goal. Thank you for the motivation and congratulations on doing so well! :)
Congratulations on your progress and for staying COMMITTED. You look GRRRRRREAT and you're a winner in our eyes!!! I look forward to seeing your maintenance diet. I'm still working on getting my diet together as I transition to vegan. Thanks for sharing your tips and wisdom!
Hey y'all! Thanks for all of your support and comments. I do apologize for the miscommunication about the July giveaway, it ended Thursday night instead of Friday night. No worries! We have giveaways each month on our website, so keep looking for them and we will most definitely keep y'all informed. Again, I apologize for miscommunicating that information.
You look amazing Tony. Question, what's the head set you're using in the gym? I'm also vegan, I really need to burn fat. My main form of exercise is walking/light running. High carb low fat diet. Truly trying to figure out the best vegan life style. Any suggestions and tips are appreciated. Routing for you, I know you'll meet your goal. I'm looking forward to how you transition meals afterwards. All the very best 👍.
My wife is currently transitioning into the becoming Pescatarian and of course she's natural as well. I'll be sure to share your channel with her. Best wishes to all of your endeavors and keep up the good work!
FUGAZI crazy Well if you're currently a meat eater try transitioning to become a pescatarian , vegetarian and then a vegan . Because alot of people just staright away go vegan and come back to eating meat . Not evwryone but if you believe you can then who am I to stop you .
I'm so impressed Toni. You've stuck to the diet & have a slamming workout routine resulting in a BANGING body 💪. Good luck on the competition. FYI...your skin 😍😍😍❤
Try to use less water when you are cooking your veggies. You can loose a lot of nutrients by over cooking your veggies. Try to invest in a steamer or some method of steaming. Much success in the competition. Also you mentioned that when you complete the competition you are looking to try another way of eating. Have you ever heard of the ketogenic diet in combination with a vegan lifestyle . Although with the keto diet you do eat meat but you can fashioned it to your lifestyle. The most important part about keto is that it is a high fat low carb way of eating. When I say high fat I'm talking about healthy fat, such as coconut oil, avocado oil and avocados, olive olive oil. I've found that maintaining a high fat way of eating gives you more of a feeling of satisfaction. I'm not fully keto any more, I've moved more towards a Paleo lifestyle. With anything in life you have to find what works for you. It's just a suggestion. So if you have a little time try and do a little reading on it.
so glad I found this channel, ive been vegan now for a few years but im lacking in muscle and fatigue and really need some help for my overall body, great info.
You look great! Awesome advice. Looking forward to seeing "what you eat in a day" after the competition. Would love to see the happy medium. Good luck!
You're doing a fantastic job so far. I'm so proud of you! Continue to stay focused, can't wait to see your last results before the show. 💪🏾🏋🏾👙Good Luck not that you need it sis. You came a long way 🙌🏾
I have a few questions for anyone who has a little bit of time to answer them: 1) do you recommend going vegan cold turkey or slowly introducing vegan foods? 2) do you recommend meal prepping? 3) do you recommend eating small portions throughout the day?
Hello Toni!! Thanks so much for sharing this video and breaking everything down. I look to you lady's for healthy lifestyle information, (I'm not vegan though, likes my milk lol) but you guys always have great tips to maintain a healthy life and I can modify what I need to. Mmmm oh my your lunch looked so delicious and I forgot ALL about rice cakes, I'm going to start buying them again. I'm always serious about fitness but I'm getting real serious about it because I wanna be cut, ripped, sculpted like you...right now I'm well toned lol! I've been drinking 12 8 oz. glasses of water a day for the past month and I just realized if I drink 4 more glasses I'll be a gallon and water really does make a difference in how we feel. This is slightly off topic but you mentioned you did Focus T25 in the past and I love the Speed 2.0 routine, have you ever tried the GAMMA routine? I'm scared GAMMA sounds dangerous lol! Thanks again for sharing and keep up the excellent work, YOU GO TONI : )
Omg I just realized your part of the sisters I follow..so cool..thats why I was so excited when I seen you go on one of their channels earlier this year but it makes since now.
Can you do a face care and body care skin care routine? Your skin is so beautiful and flawless and I have really flawed and blemished skin (acne and scarring on face and dark knees, razor bump scars and scrapes from being a kid on body). I would really love some of your products and tips!!! Love this vid btw 💕
thanks so much for sharing your exercise routine and diet. I started back working out and I also have a trainer. you look great and I hope you win the competition.
I love your Playfulness while doing cardio or whatever you're doing. Watching you and Danny sprint was one of my highlights. You are easily the fastest human alive. Usain who? ☺
Thank you for the details and this information will be useful for me as I drop recent weight gained. I just read this week about carb cycling so you mentioning it is a big sign. I also noticed that you did not mention abs, but yours are awesome. To me that means they are truly made in the kitchen - am I right? Good luck...you look fantastic!
Great job & discipline! Good luck on the 30th! I'll be competing (Figure) on the 30th as well (in Va.). I'm impressed by your perseverance especially as a Vegan. I passed this info to my sister-friend who's a vegan & exercises daily. Keep up the good work!!!
So so proud of you💯👏🏾👏🏾, my lil cousin competes and she just got to Pro status👊🏾💯(she is in Vegas) I have questions 🤔🤔I have a disease twins to Lupus but I want to train like this😶, can you ask your Trainer is it possible?
Where did you get your hat you're wearing? And please do a video on how you style your hair for workouts. I workout 6 days a week so I would love some ideas!
Just found you and love you already :) probably gonna stay up all night binge watch your vids 🙈🙈 I'm a vegan getting into bodybuilding too so your such an inspiration
Thank you for sharing. I always put my sweet potato in the microwave... No patience lol Also, I always thought you shouldn't have carbs in the evening, if your trying to lose weight. What are your thoughts? You look great. 💪🏽
Great video !!! I was just wondering for your breakfast do you taste the tofu in your shake !? I always thought it was kinda weird and I'm scared to try hahaha
Thanks! And no, I can't. Tofu doesn't really have a taste to me, it's supposed to pick up any flavor ingredients in the dish you mix or cook it with. I say try it girlie, use the silken tofu for a more smoother taste in your shake. 😊
What an interesting world you live in! I would love to be able to start incorporating vegan and organic eating into my life, but being married with three children, and a very limited budget, it just seems impossible. Your body looks great though, and you must feel amazing☺️
Hi Toni how are you I've tried the gArden of life raw organic meal favor plain I feel sleepily and tried after I drink it I add vanilla almond milk I don't know why since anything in the ingredients is all natural but when I think about in the past I've tried other products by garden of life like women's once daily and chlorella and some other vegan probiotc Dietay and also experience headaches and sleepily
Reverse dieting is the way to go, for sure! Keep up the great work! Side note, it's pronouced coomin for Cumin ;) Thanks for this, please keep them coming! :)

I'm newly vegan and it's awesome to see other black women with curves to live this way! Inspiring and shows that it's sustainable and possible 🙌🏾👏🏾💕
Here is a little tip, don't boil your broccoli in water and drain out some of the nutrients. For frozen veggies, just put them in a pan/pot without water, cover and cook on very low heat. It already has enough water to cook on its own.
True! Steaming them is better! :)
yessss!
Thank you!

I love how clear and real you are about your diet!! I really perked up when I saw that gorgeous sweet potato :)
I'm super excited to follow your progress.
Your so renewed, revitalized, & refreshed! I love your energy! The vegan life looks amazing on you!
wow your body looks AMAZING! I love the dedication you have given towards this and showing that its possible on a vegan diet.
This was SO inspiring! Like you have NO idea! I've been really struggling to find inspiration to get back to healthy habits and this was everything!
Don't do Raw till 4. There's a rule in it that tells you to "smash in the calories" which is leading so many followers of this program to significant weight gain. Just eat when you're hungry and stop when full, as long as it's all vegan😎
if you're going to go smash the calories in,you better work out very good. most don't know that have to burn those calories off.
Penelope416 That's not the rule, those people misinterpret it
