This has nothing to do with me but I'm literally about to cry of joy too. Lily has helped me a lot as well and I'm so happy and proud to see how she's having an impact in people's lives. Blessings for you and your path.
I also want to point out that this video and it’s normal speed and tone are refreshing in this day and age on TH-cam! Seems like everyone on TH-cam these days cuts pauses between words (why?), accelerate their speech and seem to scream in order to be heard...I just don’t understand why. It causes anxiety in the viewers. Thank you for staying centered not only with the information your conveying but also with your calm demeanor, tone and speed. Kudos! 😊
Oh let me answer that question. Because people’s attention spans are so low we are encouraged to speed up our videos to get watch time and not bore the viewers. It sucks I know. I envy Lilly and her natural way of keeping attention while slowing the pace.
I almost starting crying when I saw your name in my notifications! I've missed your kind soul, witty humor, and the beautiful visuals and soundscapes of your surroundings. Okay okay I'll stop gushing I just missed you so dearly 🥰
Omg, ancali!! I was trying to decide when to upload to minimize sleep disturbances, but alas 😂 THANK YOU and I hope you and your loved ones are well and safe!
Calorie restriction and portion control is evil, especially on a wfpb diet. I eat 2000-3500 calories a day, as much as I feel like eating, and I am 5'8" and 125 pounds and I don't even work out now.
You must have a very fast metabolism to maintain at those calories. You must be quite thin, no? I got to 150 lbs at 5’10 and people were saying I was starting to look frail.
Lily!!! "I've been waiting for you to come back. I'm so happy to have this new video from you!!!!! You came back at a time I really needed. I've been very sick and depressed lately and your strength and wisdom really lifted me up. I don't feel hopeless now thank you for sharing your light!
I am so glad you’re back. You sound like you’re doing well. I noticed you did not talk about your personal life so I will not bring it up here other than to say that I hope everything has been going good and that everyone in your heart is also doing well. Thank you for coming back to us. Have a beautiful day.
Ooohhh lily i have been noticing a new trend on youtube of "calorie restriction" videos ..i so so hope a lllooot of people find this video ! Thankyou girl .
Welcome back Lily 🌸 so looking forward to the new videos. I’ve been vegan for 3 years, but trying to eat more whole foods, we love your spicy potatoes, we call them Lily Potatoes 🥔😁
I did the did the exact same thing! It was the same or next day did she upload after I looked for the first time in many months!!! Apparently she is just needed right now! 🧡
Yay! You're back! I could hardly believe my eyes when your vid came up on my feed! Looking healthy and vibrant, so good to see you're back and just as passionate about your subject as always! 🌱
YES, thank you for this! You keep us sane, Lily!! Thank you for not selling out and selling “detox tea” and recommending 30 oz of celery juice every day and intermittent fasting. Thank you for following the science and encouraging people to be healthy and reasonable!! You are the best! Young women need you on TH-cam.
LOL, Jo... Thank you for noticing! None of that is necessary and most of the fads are just new ways for eating disorders and perfectionism to continue running our lives. Let's pass, please!!
Excited!! I hit play so fast, I'm happy to see you back lovely lady. You talk the most common sense about nutrition than anyone else. Looking forward to the forthcoming videos!
I missed you so much!! And I really needed this video, I’ve been subscribed for about 6 years now and I’m so happy you’re back 😁 Your house is looking amazing!!
Lily! I've missed you so much 🥺 I was actually going through your videos just yesterday, re-watching your weight loss series and thinking about what you touched on in this video. I put myself in a bad caloric restriction for a while in 2019 and have been recovering from that since the pandemic started. It's been hell and I've managed to set myself back several times but I'm trying my best to fix my metabolism to be healthy again. It's been hard dealing with the weight gain and all the symptoms to allow my body to heal. On top of that, my mom hasn't helped saying I'm too fat now and pretty much bullying me to diet. But I'm done doing what she says because I keep getting sicker everytime I try to diet. I'll put myself first and nourish my body as it should be. I just hope it turns out well as I do seem to have some nerve issues from restricting.
So glad you're back! I feel like this is a sign. I've been calorie restricting for years (lost a lot of weight, but plateaued a long time ago). In 2021 I made it my goal to STOP. My relationship with food has been completely ruined because of calorie restrictions. I've been vegan for four years and even found myself avoiding healthy whole plant-based foods that had more calories than I was willing to give up. I knew at the end of 2020 that I could not keep up my diet. I kept lowering the count because I began gaining weight, then would go on extreme binges any time I was alone. I was eating 1000 a day, I'm 26. I'm growing more comfortable with foods again. Calorie restricting is a hell of a drug, and I still have the urge to download an app and look up every ingredient. But I've been so much more alert, mentally clear, and energetic these past few months. My body has a lot of healing to do. I can't wait to get inspiration from you!
Ashley, YES YES YES to all you said. Knowing what the "right" choice to make can feel so impossible with so much conflicting information available. I can so relate to everything you wrote and hope that your goals this year leads to a whole new (and nourishing) relationship with food. Take good care and I'm excited to connect more! Take such good care ♥️
This is perfect timing! I just had my first major gallbladder attack a couple of days ago, and of course, my doctor wants to put me on a diet to lose the extra 60 lbs I've been carrying around. This time I'm going to do it right, by nourishing myself. Thank you for your wonderful, insightful, inspiring, and compassionate videos. I feel hopeful.
100 percent true!! I'm at my heaviest ever and I have now been high carb low fat wfpb for about 6 months. Eating abundantly. Still gaining...I know that I'm paying for past mistakes so I'm clinging on to stories like yours and hope that I will eventually start to lose..It's difficult though to be over 210 pounds and knowing that it could possibly take YEARS before my body is healed enough to start to lose weight...😩 I felt so miserable and swollen, bloated and sad today that I almost felt like giving up. But to what? I have already tried everything else and it effing didn't work!! So...This was a very good reminder today. Thank you!🌼♥️ How long did it take for you to start healing for real and to start to shed the excess weight?😊
Hi, I've been going through the same process and I just want to say hang in there! You're on the right path. The more you honor your hunger and cravings the easier it'll be. In my case I can't have much fiber because it slows down my digestion and well it doesn't get digested for me. Also, fats are not the enemy, not saying high carb low fat is wrong but you don't have to worry about eating some more healthy fats than what hclf diets suggest. They've really helped my journey since I can't fit high volume foods without feeling stuffed before even eating enough calories. Hope your journey goes well :)
I’ve been watching your channel and following you since I was in high school. You helped me fix and improve my relationship with food, and my body image. FAST FORWARD to today, I’m a happy and healthy second year medical student, and so so grateful for your evidence-based advice.
This literally brings tears of joy to my eyes, thank you for this and for all you do to take great care of yourself and others. I'm so excited for what you have ahead of you!!! And hope you're managing to get some sleep between study sessions!! ♥️
I was so excited to see this video from you. Amazing as always. Already shared it with a friend. Thank you for putting out such amazing info for the world.
I’ve not watched yet but I just wanted to say I’m so happy to see you back! 💕Was just about to start yet another miserable diet and you’ve pulled me back from the edge, thank you 🙏
Im so glad you are back! I do hope to hear an update on you an your family, I hope all is well! In the meantime I'm ready to get my learnin on! Glad you're back!
Yay Lily koi!! Oooo interesting topic 👀 Adding: helpful advice as usual! Excited to see what you have in store. This is a mentality I'd love to see spread more.
I've missed you! Teared up a bit at the end with your "make better choices for yourself; no one is going to do it for you." So grateful for all you have given me! Hope you are well
Awww Haley!!! Sometimes I tear up when I say it... such a humble hope for self-care and self-love. Thank you for your patience and support, it means the world to me!
This video could not come at a better time!! Omg I’m stuck in this horrible cycle and feel so trapped. My weight is all over the place and i can’t get out of the pleasure trap bc i keep giving up from exhaustion feeling like I’ll never conquer this. I can’t wait for the next video. Thank you so so much 🌻🌻
I'm not on a purposefully restrictive diet but I'm so busy with school and work that it's tough for me to get enough calories in a day. I come home so exhausted that I don't even eat, I just collapse. Definitely burning out. I'm grateful to hear from you again, Lily. Thank you for coming back and thank you for being here, your light was missed tremendously.
You've reappeared just when I needed you 💚 your "weight loss" series helped me recover from an eating disorder relapse in 2016 and I had another huge one this past year (thanks covid..) you give me so much hope. Thankyou xxxxx
Wow what a coincidence. Just thinking about you today & looked up your channel & saw you just posted four days ago. I was wondering why I haven’t been getting notifications in months. Happy your back you are one of my favorites!
Thank you for this video, in and of itself. I've learned this after being suckered by the diet industry since my early teen years. With this knowledge out there, I'm at the point where I'm about ready to say that it's truly evil for someone to participate knowingly in the diet industry knowing the long term harm and damage it will cause. I can only hope this truth reaches as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. No young girl today should waste as much of her youth as I did pursuing calorie restricted diets to lose weight.
It's so weird that i started to watch again your old videos, like last week, and now u put some new content! I feel there is some weird energy working here :))
Omg I missed u. I will be showing your videos to my daughters . I wish I knew all this in my teens and twenties.. would have saved my thyroid, gallbladder and so much emotional pain
I started eating like plantiful Kiki, Chef AJ, and Chelsea mae, healthy Emmie etc a year ago. I regret it so much. I ate waay too calorie dilute, I was constantly mentally hungry even though I felt full in my stomach, developed severe insomnia and it has affected me extremely. I finally stopped in october but the damage is done.. I know it is all on me, I chose to do that. But I really thought it would work since they look so happy eating those 1500 calorie diets. Thank you for your work, it has helped me immensely.
Ellen, I can so relate to your frustration and hunger. I've never been able to feel satisfied or fully nourished on low-calorie programs. I celebrate your tenacity and commitment to taking good care of yourself ♥️
Lilllllyyy! So glad you’re back. So glad you’re refreshing this topic. I’ve still got roughly 70 pounds to release, and I’m trying really really hard not to eat too low calorie this time around. It’s hard when it’s so satisfying to watch the scale plummet, but I know you’re totally right that it’s never sustainable. ❤️ Whole plant foods always win.
Your dedication and commitment to long term self-care is awe inspiring, Melanie!! I'm so happy to know you'll be well nourished throughout your journey.
I LOVED your video Lilli!! Shared on fb. Thanks! And you look absolutely gorgeous! Also that top is a wonderful color for you! I'm SO glad you're back!
I am sooooooooooo happy you are back!!!!!!! Once again THANKYOU!!!! for another informative and insightful video! I'm so excited to see and hear your wise words again xxxx
You are absolutely glowing! Your skin is fabulous :) Glad you are back. I lost 40lbs in the past, but I still have 30 more to go and I am having so many struggles lately. Every single time I try to restrict even 200 calories off my normal diet I binge eat three days later. This video couldn't have come at a better time, I just had a meltdown about this. Thanks for reminding me to cook and enjoy whole foods instead of calorie counting from pre-made frozen dinners that I've been eating depressingly.
Oh my gosh, Iia!! The 3-day-binge is such a real thing and so frustrating!!!!! Yes... cook, enjoy, relish in the pleasure of nourishment--it is a prayer for your future, contented self. Take such good care!
Welcome back! I've missed your wisdom, meal ideas, and good cheer! 💛😊 I recently read a book called The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober in which the author talkes about how we blame people for lacking willpower when they get addicted to alcohol, an addictive substance. It's somehow the same with food. We are given an antiquated advice and addictive "food" stuffs and then we are blamed for lacking willpower. It's ridiculous! Anyway, I'm glad you're back! 😄🌺💛🌴🍌🥦
Oh hi! Didn't see ya there. 😉So happy you're back!! You have no idea how important your videos have been for my own veganism and vegan advocacy. I've shared so many of them with friends and family. Just wanted to let you know the scope of your impact. I know you've had big things going on off-camera but I'm really looking forward to making them part of my routine again. Love from the mainland.
Thank you for coming back, and with such important message nonetheless! You've been missed! This video, your energy, your food, your ideas are all such a breath of fresh air! Please, stay Lilly, if you can🦋
Welcome back. Love your channel! Commenting for the algorithm - this definitely deserves more views! TH-cam didn’t notify me of this I came here via Instagram.
I can't describe the positive e conforting emotions I felt when I saw my TH-cam notifications. You've been such an important person in my life although we've never met. Your voice, your face, the way you talk and put the information out there for the whole world do see, warms my heart so much. I truly love you lily, it might sound silly, but you mean the world to me. So so so happy you are back ❤️❤️ thank you for find your way back to TH-cam. 😘
Oh Joana, I can't tell you how much this warms my little heart!!! Thank you for your encouragement, feedback, and patience. I'm so grateful we're able to connect ♥️
Its really nice to see you back! I don't know how to describe this but your video feels alot more calmer in your delivery, its really refreshing! I look forward to this series!
So happy your back, looking forward to more videos 😌 I’m also super interested in your garden & fruit trees, hopefully you film a garden tour sometime. I have a big garden and food forest set up and love geeking out over other peoples gardens.
I missed this.. I missed you!! So happy you’re back (for now 🤞🏻).. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ My brother does Keto once a year, gets thin af and when he quits gain it all back. I’m worried. Trying to ‘inspire’ him with the way I’ve been eating plant food for almost a decade and never ever gain or loose any weight.. but it’s a lost cause 😑
Omg! I am so glad to see you back here ! It was a pleasure to see this brilliant and interesting video! Looking forward to see next one! Welcome back Lily! Love from France 🇫🇷❤
She’s backkkkkkkkk! 😍🥰🥳🙌🏼❤️ Yesssssss! Missed you and all of your encouraging, motivating, positive, and knowledgeable content! So glad your back! 🤗❤️😘
Yea, our smartest TH-camr is back. You were so missed. Don't disappear again!
Haha, Malini, careful, I don't want my forehead to swell 😂 Thank you for sticking around!!
@@lilykoihawaii 😂
Yes!!!!
pro tip : watch series at kaldrostream. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Zavier Garrett definitely, I've been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself :D
And lily I want you to know that you inspired me when I was 16 to become a dietician and I am about to graduate!
Omg, Kelly, I'm literally crying with joy. I'm so frickin' proud of and happy for you. Well done, girl, well done!!!
@@lilykoihawaii thank you, that means the world to me. ❤
That's awesome! Congrats! 🎓
@@sonja4164 Thank you!
This has nothing to do with me but I'm literally about to cry of joy too. Lily has helped me a lot as well and I'm so happy and proud to see how she's having an impact in people's lives. Blessings for you and your path.
I missed your sign off of make better choices for yourself no ones gonna do it for you. It always makes me more calm and less stressed.
Yes!!!💫
I also want to point out that this video and it’s normal speed and tone are refreshing in this day and age on TH-cam! Seems like everyone on TH-cam these days cuts pauses between words (why?), accelerate their speech and seem to scream in order to be heard...I just don’t understand why. It causes anxiety in the viewers. Thank you for staying centered not only with the information your conveying but also with your calm demeanor, tone and speed. Kudos! 😊
Thank you for that feedback, much appreciated and I agree... so much faced-paced loudness out in the world now!
Oh let me answer that question. Because people’s attention spans are so low we are encouraged to speed up our videos to get watch time and not bore the viewers. It sucks I know. I envy Lilly and her natural way of keeping attention while slowing the pace.
funny you mentioned that, I had to turn it to 2x speed to get through it (love you lily, I'm just impatient)
W E L C O M E B A C K ! ! ! You’ve been missed!
Thank you, Kennie!!! Big smiles over here!!
I'm sure I'm not the only one whose delighted to see that bloopers still had their little place at the end
You’ve been missed, excited to see you back!
Ahhh!! Thank you!! Me, too!!!
NO way!!!! Lily's back!!!? It is so good to see you my dear! You have been missed big time!!!
I almost starting crying when I saw your name in my notifications! I've missed your kind soul, witty humor, and the beautiful visuals and soundscapes of your surroundings. Okay okay I'll stop gushing I just missed you so dearly 🥰
It’s midnight in Germany and I should be sleeping but I’m too excited to see this in my notifications! Welcome back I hope you’re well 💗
Omg, ancali!! I was trying to decide when to upload to minimize sleep disturbances, but alas 😂 THANK YOU and I hope you and your loved ones are well and safe!
It’s 1:13 now in Germany and I‘m watching this as well! So happy you’re back ♥️
Cool! 😁 It's 3:32 Uhr as I'm watching this from Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪
It's 8:02 Uhr now as I am watching this as well from Berlin, Germany!
It's almost 24 hours later, also in Germany, and I'm FINALLY watching Lily's new video! ❤️🇩🇪
Calorie restriction and portion control is evil, especially on a wfpb diet. I eat 2000-3500 calories a day, as much as I feel like eating, and I am 5'8" and 125 pounds and I don't even work out now.
It's a beautiful thing! I often feel like I'm cheating at life... stuffing my face, feeling good. I'm glad you get to enjoy your food!
I enjoy seeing you in the comments
You must have a very fast metabolism to maintain at those calories. You must be quite thin, no? I got to 150 lbs at 5’10 and people were saying I was starting to look frail.
Oommgggg my favourite TH-camr has RETURNED!! This made my day ❤

Lily!!! "I've been waiting for you to come back. I'm so happy to have this new video from you!!!!! You came back at a time I really needed. I've been very sick and depressed lately and your strength and wisdom really lifted me up. I don't feel hopeless now thank you for sharing your light!
Welcome back Lily 💜 I hope you and Liwai are doing well 🙏
Thank you, Gracey!!! We are getting by! I hope you and yours are well and safe ♥️
I am so glad you’re back. You sound like you’re doing well. I noticed you did not talk about your personal life so I will not bring it up here other than to say that I hope everything has been going good and that everyone in your heart is also doing well. Thank you for coming back to us. Have a beautiful day.
I clicked on this video SO quick! You’ve been so missed! Thanks for coming back!
Aww, Julie, I am so honored and humbled. Thank you!! And thank you for sticking around!
No kidding, went back after months of not watching you TODAY and watched old stuff wondering if you would come back and here you are! 😭
Ooohhh lily i have been noticing a new trend on youtube of "calorie restriction" videos ..i so so hope a lllooot of people find this video ! Thankyou girl .

I can only hope this truth reaches as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. No young girl today should waste as much of her youth as I did pursuing calorie restricted diets to lose weight.
It's so weird that i started to watch again your old videos, like last week, and now u put some new content! I feel there is some weird energy working here :))
I'm into it!!! 😂
Omg I missed u. I will be showing your videos to my daughters . I wish I knew all this in my teens and twenties.. would have saved my thyroid, gallbladder and so much emotional pain
I started eating like plantiful Kiki, Chef AJ, and Chelsea mae, healthy Emmie etc a year ago. I regret it so much. I ate waay too calorie dilute, I was constantly mentally hungry even though I felt full in my stomach, developed severe insomnia and it has affected me extremely. I finally stopped in october but the damage is done..
I know it is all on me, I chose to do that. But I really thought it would work since they look so happy eating those 1500 calorie diets.
Thank you for your work, it has helped me immensely.
Ellen, I can so relate to your frustration and hunger. I've never been able to feel satisfied or fully nourished on low-calorie programs. I celebrate your tenacity and commitment to taking good care of yourself ♥️
LILYYYY!!!!! WELCOME BACK! You were missed ❤️❤️ also, your hair looks gorgeous! It grew back so fast!
I am so excited to see you post again! Looking forward to upcoming videos!
I am SO glad that you are back, Lily!!!!
What an excellent video. Can't wait for the next ones! Welcome back...I missed your videos.
Love you, Lily!
Crying tears of joy you are back.
Never be afraid to take a break when needed, we will wait!
Lilllllyyy! So glad you’re back. So glad you’re refreshing this topic. I’ve still got roughly 70 pounds to release, and I’m trying really really hard not to eat too low calorie this time around. It’s hard when it’s so satisfying to watch the scale plummet, but I know you’re totally right that it’s never sustainable. ❤️ Whole plant foods always win.
Your dedication and commitment to long term self-care is awe inspiring, Melanie!! I'm so happy to know you'll be well nourished throughout your journey.
I LOVED your video Lilli!! Shared on fb. Thanks! And you look absolutely gorgeous! Also that top is a wonderful color for you! I'm SO glad you're back!
Ahh, thank you, thank you, thank you Sherri!!
I was totally thinking about you a few days back, wondering how you were doing! So glad to see you a new video of you!
I am sooooooooooo happy you are back!!!!!!! Once again THANKYOU!!!! for another informative and insightful video! I'm so excited to see and hear your wise words again xxxx
You are absolutely glowing! Your skin is fabulous :) Glad you are back. I lost 40lbs in the past, but I still have 30 more to go and I am having so many struggles lately. Every single time I try to restrict even 200 calories off my normal diet I binge eat three days later. This video couldn't have come at a better time, I just had a meltdown about this. Thanks for reminding me to cook and enjoy whole foods instead of calorie counting from pre-made frozen dinners that I've been eating depressingly.
Oh my gosh, Iia!! The 3-day-binge is such a real thing and so frustrating!!!!! Yes... cook, enjoy, relish in the pleasure of nourishment--it is a prayer for your future, contented self. Take such good care!
Yay! Glad you’re back! Looking forward to more on this topic 👍💛
Welcome back! I've missed your wisdom, meal ideas, and good cheer! 💛😊 I recently read a book called The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober in which the author talkes about how we blame people for lacking willpower when they get addicted to alcohol, an addictive substance. It's somehow the same with food. We are given an antiquated advice and addictive "food" stuffs and then we are blamed for lacking willpower. It's ridiculous! Anyway, I'm glad you're back! 😄🌺💛🌴🍌🥦
I missed your videos! Your videos have always inspired me to eat healthier. Thanks for coming back!
My pleasure, Christina, thank you for your patience and support, I'm so glad we get to connect like this!
Oh hi! Didn't see ya there. 😉So happy you're back!!
You have no idea how important your videos have been for my own veganism and vegan advocacy. I've shared so many of them with friends and family. Just wanted to let you know the scope of your impact.
I know you've had big things going on off-camera but I'm really looking forward to making them part of my routine again. Love from the mainland.
Internally screaming in excitement 😍 welcome back!!!
Thank you for coming back, and with such important message nonetheless! You've been missed! This video, your energy, your food, your ideas are all such a breath of fresh air! Please, stay Lilly, if you can🦋
Welcome back. Love your channel! Commenting for the algorithm - this definitely deserves more views! TH-cam didn’t notify me of this I came here via Instagram.
Thank you for making the trek all the way over here and for your mindfulness of the algorithm!!! So helpful 🙏🏻♥️
I can't describe the positive e conforting emotions I felt when I saw my TH-cam notifications. You've been such an important person in my life although we've never met. Your voice, your face, the way you talk and put the information out there for the whole world do see, warms my heart so much. I truly love you lily, it might sound silly, but you mean the world to me. So so so happy you are back ❤️❤️ thank you for find your way back to TH-cam. 😘
Oh Joana, I can't tell you how much this warms my little heart!!! Thank you for your encouragement, feedback, and patience. I'm so grateful we're able to connect ♥️
So beautifully said...I'm ecstatic to see you back here and can't wait for more videos! :)

So happy your back, looking forward to more videos 😌 I’m also super interested in your garden & fruit trees, hopefully you film a garden tour sometime. I have a big garden and food forest set up and love geeking out over other peoples gardens.

Oh my gosh!!! Welcome back. It's great that you're back, missed you!! 😘
I missed this.. I missed you!! So happy you’re back (for now 🤞🏻).. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My brother does Keto once a year, gets thin af and when he quits gain it all back. I’m worried. Trying to ‘inspire’ him with the way I’ve been eating plant food for almost a decade and never ever gain or loose any weight.. but it’s a lost cause 😑
I was just thinking about you a few days ago! So glad to see you’re well!
What a pleasant surprise! So glad to see you back! Looking forward to this series!
