A coworker of mine put me on to the same documentary after I noticed she was only eating salad for lunch. I watched it after I got home. I immediately stopped eating meat. That was 3 years ago.
Thank you so much for your transparency! You have inspired me. I started my vegan journey January 2nd this year and can’t imagine turning back with the way I feel now! I pray that God continues to bless you and your family! Thank you for helping all of us!
I went vegan October 2023 cold turkey and like you...decided to go Pescatarian in 2024. Now that I have open up my recipe options, I am going back to eating plant-based foods. Thanks for sharing and the inspiration.
I’m a new subscriber and I can really relate to your experiences. I need to eat WFPB for health reasons. I am ALWAYS UNWELL and I am so tired of being identified with being ill. However, I love food. I am originally from the Bronx and my family is from P.R., and I have found it hard to make good tasting food without animal products… but it is either my health or eat foods that are hurting me, so I have to learn quick. Thank you for your videos. I appreciate it very much! I need some good Jamaican WFPB / Vegan recipes ❤ Tamara
Your recipes always look so appetizing and you always looks content and fulfilled. It’s very refreshing. I’m in the process of choosing cabinets and couldn’t help but notice yours were missing so I was glad you mentioned you were in a middle of a renovation- I thought I was seeing things. At any rate, can you share your plans and process. It’s been so overwhelming but you look so calm. Can’t wait to see the finished kitchen and your views are amazing! Thank you for the info on the gems and the discount code too. I never heard of this product and am intrigued! Thanks again!
Your journey towards veganism is a lot of fun and your family shared it is the best. Yes! all the Caribbean and Asian cuisines. Part 3! 🤗 Thanks Michelle 😂(I’m going to cuss…)
Good for you! I feel MY best eating some animal protein. It's the most bioavailable protein, and I never felt that great eating vegan. I still eat only whole foods... nothing processed. Feeling my best!
Daily Gems sound amazing. Pity can't get here in the UK. Love the video and your honesty. May I ask though why the background music, I am probably alone in this, I found it distracting - but still loved the video. My journey with being plant based was a lot like yours, Vegi for 16yrs, Vegan for 7 years, then I went to live on a sheep farm - my downfall was eggs from my own hens and lamb. Now back to being plant based for 5yrs, with no processed foods. Feeling so much better, and being 73 years old am grateful to have full health. Thank you for your inspiring videos. x
❤ Iove your channel! You are so real . Love getting to know you! I lived in the Bronx and Manhattan until I retired in 2020! Relaxing in Arizona now!Thank you for your gifts !
Had the same experience. My first time I was 16 teen. Then when I was 18 teen I became pescatarian. Now I developed a disease called myasthenia gravis and I decided going totally vegan. I watch the same show that you watch. What’s the health before became fully vegan? I feel so much better. I’m getting better and better and better overtime with my new lifestylechange..
I Absolutely love watching you, BUT this morning I REALLY NEEDED this video…. I did plant base 2 years ago, went back pescatarian….I’ve had the worse health issues since, I keep saying go back, well God has a way of sending messages through other people, so I’m saying THANKS for doing this video… CONFIRMATION 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽… Continue to be BLESSED! WE LOVE YOU 💜
I'm 81 and became a vegan almost 9 years ago at the insistance of my vegan daughter who said she didn't want me to die. I had taken statins for high cholorestrol for over 16 years and decided to stop taking them as I began the vegan diet. My cholestrol is still high (190-205) but nowhere near the 250-280 of my pre-statin years and totally acceptable compared to my statin years with the range of 155-200). The FDA and the food industry along with the SAD (Standard American Diet) is killing us! Thank you for your videos.
Happy Thanksgiving Michelle to you and your family - loved this segment - I’m not vegan but most of my meals are meatless (except for today) - between you and my daughter, vegan life is around the corner- y’all meals are soooo delicious.
That you. I’ve watched your channel for a while and enjoy you very much! I really thought that you were in your early fourties’! I am 75 and for the last 4 years I’ve been struggle to maintain my veganism! I live in WV, no vegetarian restaurants let alone; vegan. Was able to initially release 100 lbs but advices to eat meat during cancer journey . Now having difficulty getting totally back on track. But still in the race!
I worked at a health food store vitamin department, can't stress enough how important whole food supplements are! Conventional supplements get vitamins etc. from sources our bodies aren't meant to process and most get pooed out. Sorry, also congrats on finding the love of your life so young! Don't worry about your accent, I notice mine change some too especially when trying to sound professional. I'm from the southern US. ❤❤❤❤ Edit: CAN'T, lol.
Hi Michelle, I love this video. It is nice to get to know you. Kitchen remodel sounds ummmmm, not to fun. I’m sure it will be beautiful when it is finished though. You taught me how to make vegan crab cakes. They are so good. I started my transition in 2016 and was fully vegan by 2017. I was born jaundice as a baby. Therefore, my digestion and absorption of food had always been in flux, so to speak. In my early 20’s I read a book by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond titled Fit for Life. That was the beginning way back the mid 80’s. I learned how different combinations of food had different digestive results etc… I was never a big animal eater. I always had issues with killing animals. I was raised in the country so I saw it every year. I found it interesting that you experienced depression when you would resume with eating animals. I am vegan for them as much as I am my health. It is a win win the way I see it. I save an animals life daily by being vegan. #haveaprettyday
@@lesliefloyd2585 thank you for your comment and feedback. I think for me the depression comes from poor digestion and I can’t seem to digest animal products. I’m thankful i found this out because I didn’t like eating animals anyway. I saw a chicken get killed to be eaten for dinner at age 5. Never felt comfortable eating meat after that. It might just be trauma who knows🤷🏽♀️
Thank you so much for being real and for sharing apiece of your history I enjoyed listening, I haven't got there yet but I am being inspired by your yummy recipes that you share, I did try a few recipes that you did on video they weren't bad vital wheat steak and carrots dogs also jack fruit was very tasty so thank you again chef Michelle blessings to you and your family ❤
The story about why you went vegan and why you stopped will surely provide many valuable lessons and insights. I’m looking forward to hearing your honest shares and helpful tips from this video.
@@BiKEnBiTESno. Chickens are fed gmo corn and soy. Eggs cause heart disease and diabetes and fatty liver and comes from agritortured gmo sentient baby franken animals.

Be kind to the animals. That means not harming them in any way. That means nothing that was meant for their babies. That’s what vegan is - not harming animals in any way!
@JoanneDeHart I'm not vegan. I don't claim to be. I want to eat more plant based. That isn't, necessarily, vegan. Veganism is a whole lifestyle. Yes, I want to cause less harm and suffering, but idk if I'll eliminate all infractions.
Love your story, thank you for sharing! You look fabulous and I'm convinced that being plant based helps to keep a person young. I was vegetarian for @10 years in the 1970s - 1980s, went back to fish/chicken, and became fully plant based 10 yrs ago. Never felt better in my life & will never go back to eating animals.
Hello to you! I don’t know why your video popped up in my timeline. But it may be bcz I’m Jamaican, the same age as you ( early November birthday), I’m perimenopausal and I have a daughter who is special needs with special dietary needs. Thanks for sharing your journey and it’s something I’ve thought about lot about transitioning to and feel like this is the time. Btw I love that bag you have in your supplements ad. Could u share where we can get that bag. I still live in NYC and taking the train and this bag looks like a great option. Keep sharing your journey to help those who have the desire and not sure of how and where to start. Walk good!
@@joansmith6844 I used to not eat before my workouts also. They would make me feel nauseous. However I started taking my gem bites and mushroom coffee before my morning workouts 7-8 am and I’m having better workouts my strength training is on point and no nausea 🙏🏽
First off. My name is Michele and I am 53 as well. 😂. I started with What the Health and went cold Turkey the next day with no meat, poultry and seafood. Of course I labeled myself as a octo-lavo vegetarian because I still did dairy and eggs. But in 2021, I stopped all of it and now I am consider myself to be 95% plant based and the other 5% is for the sweets that I cannot seem to get rid of. Any secrets because that is my down fall for sure.
We made the vegetable lasagna the one without walnuts it was good but not as filling for my partner but do you have any recommendations what we should try next we like foods when it is a bit spicy.?
Wait hole on a minute. My name is Michelle, I was born in JA as well. I migrated in 1982 at age 10 and live in the Bronx off 243 and Barnes Ave. I went to Sousa and then to Dodge HS. Wow small world.
@ 😳 no way. Sousa was the best school ever. It had discipline and structure. Dr. Brindle was a class act of a principal. Please don’t tell me now that you live in FL. I left NY in 2004.

Awwww! I’m married to my college sweetheart too! 10 years ❤. Also, you look AMAZING for your age! I’m 41 and lord willing I’ll age as gracefully as you 🥰.
Your skin is fabulous radiant and healthy looking it just goes to show you are what you eat. Have you seen Dr Neil Barnard's videos advising on a vegan diet through menopause he is well worth watching and is plant based himself. As a vegan of 40 years myself this is the way I'll stay, feel cleaner lighter and sharper with an abundance of energy, I think this way of eating tunes you into nature, kindness to animals and respect for every living creature on earth. Live and let live. What about doing a skin care and make up video?

@myvegankitchenlife Awww..I love my Puerto Rican friends. I get to practice my Spanish with some of them too. My Spanish is pretty good though...lol ❤️
@@fanchonfrancis Great question! The main difference between a vegan diet and a vegetarian diet is the level of restriction when it comes to animal products: 1. Vegetarian Diet: • Vegetarians avoid meat, poultry, and fish but typically still consume other animal-derived products like dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) and eggs. • Some vegetarians may also eat honey. 2. Vegan Diet: • Vegans eliminate all animal-derived products, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and even honey.
@@fanchonfrancis you're welcome. Vegan is not only a diet though, it is a lifestyle. We refrain from silk, leather, wool, feathers, animal gelatin, or anything that involves any sentient being commerced. While it could be hard to be 100%, it certainly is the goal. A vegan diet is a great start for those who wish to switch for good. The greenwashing of Animal Agriculture is outright denial and proof of greed and selfishness. Nothing is more polluting to our oceans than fishing industry. When we grow and eat local organic, we save on transport and fossil fuels. Thanks for asking. I really wasn't clear myself at first. Only wanted to do better once I knew better.
I never watched the documentary. Understanding your DNA could be the key to discovering the diet that’s best suited for you, whether it’s plant-based or otherwise. I went vegan for 30 days for more spiritual enlightenment. I felt really good. During that time, I was able to reconnect with my higher self, and discovered that I was born to be a vegetarian. As a child, I couldn't drink milk, and certain foods I couldn't eat. I would chew my food and go flush it down the toilet as young as 5yrs. I stayed skinny and often got sick because my family didnt have the knowledge that every child is different. Thank God I survived!!!
@@YamaraLoves omg…thank you for your comment. I too truly believe ours bodies are all different so we need to listen to our own bodies and treat it accordingly. Some people thrive on a carnivore diet others not so much. I’m here to share my recipes which i think we can all enjoy on either diet 🙏🏽🩵

Hello! New subscriber.
@@sandrarule6460 hey Sandra 👋🏽
Welcome to my channel
I’m glad you’re here🤗
Your skin is fabulous radiant and healthy looking it just goes to show you are what you eat. Have you seen Dr Neil Barnard's videos advising on a vegan diet through menopause he is well worth watching and is plant based himself. As a vegan of 40 years myself this is the way I'll stay, feel cleaner lighter and sharper with an abundance of energy, I think this way of eating tunes you into nature, kindness to animals and respect for every living creature on earth. Live and let live. What about doing a skin care and make up video?
Hello gorgeous, I have a similar carribean background. Do you speak Spanish as well?
@@GinaT8 unfortunately not fluently. Now i can understand pretty much. I really wish my mom and her family didn’t try to be so americanized they that they refused to speak any spanish when i was growing up. Thank goodness for my Puerto Rican friends 😂🙌🏽
@myvegankitchenlife Awww..I love my Puerto Rican friends. I get to practice my Spanish with some of them too. My Spanish is pretty good though...lol ❤️
You are beautiful. What is the difference between vegan and vegetarian? Are they the same?
Vegan does not include animal products. Vegetarian still does some.
@@fanchonfrancis Great question! The main difference between a vegan diet and a vegetarian diet is the level of restriction when it comes to animal products:
1. Vegetarian Diet:
• Vegetarians avoid meat, poultry, and fish but typically still consume other animal-derived products like dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) and eggs.
• Some vegetarians may also eat honey.
2. Vegan Diet:
• Vegans eliminate all animal-derived products, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and even honey.
@@TheAnnaFisherokay thanks for the clarification 😊
@@myvegankitchenlife thanks for taking the time to answer my question; I have a much better understanding now. 😊❤️
@@fanchonfrancis you're welcome. Vegan is not only a diet though, it is a lifestyle. We refrain from silk, leather, wool, feathers, animal gelatin, or anything that involves any sentient being commerced. While it could be hard to be 100%, it certainly is the goal. A vegan diet is a great start for those who wish to switch for good. The greenwashing of Animal Agriculture is outright denial and proof of greed and selfishness. Nothing is more polluting to our oceans than fishing industry. When we grow and eat local organic, we save on transport and fossil fuels. Thanks for asking. I really wasn't clear myself at first. Only wanted to do better once I knew better.
My body doesn’t feel good so I’m going to try vegan/plant based meals

I never watched the documentary. Understanding your DNA could be the key to discovering the diet that’s best suited for you, whether it’s plant-based or otherwise. I went vegan for 30 days for more spiritual enlightenment. I felt really good. During that time, I was able to reconnect with my higher self, and discovered that I was born to be a vegetarian. As a child, I couldn't drink milk, and certain foods I couldn't eat. I would chew my food and go flush it down the toilet as young as 5yrs. I stayed skinny and often got sick because my family didnt have the knowledge that every child is different. Thank God I survived!!!
@@YamaraLoves omg…thank you for your comment. I too truly believe ours bodies are all different so we need to listen to our own bodies and treat it accordingly. Some people thrive on a carnivore diet others not so much. I’m here to share my recipes which i think we can all enjoy on either diet 🙏🏽🩵
@myvegankitchenlife Aww thanks, yes, I will continue watching for more recipes. 💛💛💛
You are lying you are not 53 years old you are 35 years young I can tell by the way you look.
