Thanks for the great video, Michelle!Here's where I stand in a nutshell. I am an RN and as such have quite thorough understanding of nutrition not by merits of education but because I am really interested in nutrition. I've seen and read the prominent books by Dr's. Gregor,McDougal, Esselstyn and others. I tried going WFPB few years ago, but didn't see results in a few months of eating clean vegan(for the most part) and went back to eating dairy and eggs. I am 52 years old, 6'3" around 230 lbs, and would like to reach around 190. I have just resumed plant based diet, but have terrible bloating and have actually gained weight despite eating sensibly and drinking lots of water. I am also active and ride a bike as often as possible. Any word of advice?
This video is so spot on. I struggle with a few of these. I’m going to really give all of these a major effort for April and see where I land. Thank you so much, Michele. 🥰
Great tips! I often mistake hunger for actually being dehydrated! I like the be conscious/ mindfulness tip the best and that's the one I want to work on more!
My Ah- Ha.....eating a bowl of soup or a huge salad before my 50/50 plate. I’m going to do that. I feel that I’m not getting enough fiber somehow. I’m not eliminating as much as I was in the beginning. Thank you for your time in making informative videos and inspiring us!
Thank you Michelle for another pick-me-up video! On the salad.... It’s so true if you’re not careful, before you know it, you’ve got a Big Mac in a bowl and calling it a salad!
Thank you Rayner! If you are interested in intermittent fasting you can watch this video I did on the subject here: th-cam.com/video/ZjHyyU9dciE/w-d-xo.html
This is the best! Thank you! I've been vegan a few years. Yes I've gained and lost and realize calorie deficit is the best and low fat. It is fun eating the vegan junk food, but really not a good idea. Thanks again!
I think my biggest struggle is nuts. I love cashews I love peanut butter, walnuts, brazil nuts, I love coconut milk. I don't necessarily need to be losing weight but I would like to lose even just three or four pounds and combat this love of nuts. I do try to keep things in good portions and so I will give myself that but I do pretty much eat them everyday.
I stopped going to the gym because of no energy. I can't sleep because I always feel hungry. I keep buying the recommended supplements + organic whole foods it is very expensive.
Extra starchy types will help you feel full. Turns out I had to add more food as I wasn't eating enough! But, let your body adjust, it takes time for it to change the way to uses energy, they are different systems in your body!
Hi Rita, yay for becoming Vegan:)!!!! I love Barista from Califia brand. It's really good. However, I recently switched to Malk brand (plantbased milk). It is the cleanest and purest plant milk I found. No additives or oils added. I also just bought electric milk frother ($30) and now I froth Malk in it for my morning coffee - so easy and YUM!:) It feels like a special treat. Hope this helps. Take care.
So far about a month in the diet., one thing I notice is weakness around lunch time. Oatmeal for breakfast and soup at lunch makes me still feel kind of deprived. Not sure if I am doing it wrong or it doesn't work for me. I'm at 1600-1800 calories a day…
Hi! Try adding in something heartier to your lunch time meal to accompany to your soup. Great choice would be some potatoes, beans, or grains. Even some roasted chickpeas on a salad will add some crunch to your soup only meal. See if that helps😁
Love the video ❤️❤️. I have a question😊. I always feel you have great advice . I eat whole food plant based and I don’t go out to eat much but a friend of mine invited me to eat sushi and I declined but in the future what are some good healthy vegan close to whole food plant based options you would say I could grab in the future . I’m clueless
Hi Bianca! Sushi may have actually been a great option. You could do cucumber, or any veggie they have type roll. Mango and avocado roll. Just keep it simple with some edamame and eat a big salad or Veggies to fill up before you go. Here’s my top cuisines for staying on track: Indian Mexican Thai Japanese Or if you are able to pick, you can chose a vegan restaurant and chose ahead of time what you will have that aligns with your future goals and stick to that. Most of these will have a grain and bean/tofu or steamed veggie option and you can stay closer to on track. Of course you may find things in too much oil and salt, but don’t make it a regular habit and get back on course with your next meal and you’ll be good to go👍🥰
I would buy the tank top! Please sell them! “Satisfy your future self, not your current self” or maybe “Eat for your future self, not your current self.”
Being a vegan is the best decision of my life. I skip the bananas, rice, nuts and bread. Too starchy fattening nuts for me as I got into a plateau as to losing more weight. The weight went right off when I no longer ate those foods and 60 minutes on the treadmill doing light walking daily.
What do u think of Vegan Keto ( done in a healthy whole foods way)? It's good high fat and low carbohydrates. I am a Whole Foods Plant Based Vegan I'm just having a hell of the time lossing weight in belly and mid section.
Hi Milena, I personally don’t recommend it, because I resonate with experts like Dr. Neal Barnard, T Colin Campbell and Dr. Gregor and the studies seem to conclude keeping it low fat is a better way to go. But if you feel like that is working well for you, then it’s completely up to you. I think the element of intermittent fasting thrown into a low fat whole food plant based diet can work for some, if that’s what your after it may be useful. But I also don’t typically recommend it if you’ve had a history of disordered eating. Retraining yourself to stop when satisfied and eat at the whisper of hunger, not snack and really stay consistent is what I’ve seen work time and time again☺️
Hellooo! Need to lose weight?? These are my TOP doable 11 tips that if you incorporate, you will lose weight. 🥰🥰

@@truthmatters6069 are you still eating dairy and eggs?
I'm 320lbs. I start vegan tomorrow. I can do this and will succeed this time.
Yes!! I love your determination. I believe in you! If you need help along the way, please reach out.
Hi! I noticed it was posted 7 months ago. Any luck??

I’m seeing your comment a year after you made it. I hope it’s going well. Blessings!
@RenaReenz This was an epic fail for me. Unfortunately.
I’ve lost 58 pounds in the last 12 months by doing everything you’ve mentioned in this video. You’re awesome and so knowledgeable.
Catherine that’s amazing! Great job!!
Eat for your future self. I had never heard that before. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Of course! All the best to you☺️
This video is so spot on. I struggle with a few of these. I’m going to really give all of these a major effort for April and see where I land. Thank you so much, Michele. 🥰
Thank you! Yes, give it your full attention and go after it 😁
@@veganmichele Michele, I am just in awe of your weight loss. I know you work hard at it. What a great accomplishment.
Aw Amy thank you!🥰
Great tips! I often mistake hunger for actually being dehydrated! I like the be conscious/ mindfulness tip the best and that's the one I want to work on more!
Thanks Jess! Yes, me too🥰
Best advice for anything... Is this good for my future self? I will carry and share that forever.
Love it! Do it for your future self👏🏼

Thank you Susie! That will help💚
I liked when you reminded me to fill up on a clear soup or fruit salad before my meals!
Thank you. It really does help😊
Wow! This inspired me so much! Thank you 😭 I can’t wait to lose weight.
Awesome! So glad, go get it!
Thank you Michelle for another pick-me-up video!
On the salad....
It’s so true if you’re not careful, before you know it, you’ve got a Big Mac in a bowl and calling it a salad!
You are welcome Jeni! Lol, I love that analogy 👍😀
Thinking ahead is sooooo important! I find I am much more successful with healthy eating when I am well prepped.
So true, especially because you are a super busy mama🥰
These are all great reminders for me today! I esp need to eat more fibre rich/high water content foods. Thank you!
Such a fantastic and concise video; even without too much coverage on intermittent fasting. Well done and thx!

Those darn nut! I love them too, always the first place I examine when I’m seeing a stall in my progress🤦🏻♀️🤪😁
You are incredible! Everything I wanted to know
Aww 🥰 Thank you so much!! I’m glad you like the info 😊👍🏻
Having blinders on and portions yupppp
So true, and a hard one for us all😳😄
I stopped going to the gym because of no energy. I can't sleep because I always feel hungry. I keep buying the recommended supplements + organic whole foods it is very expensive.
Make a decision to move your body three times this week and honor that decision. This alone will be a great first step to getting back into it ☺️
Extra starchy types will help you feel full. Turns out I had to add more food as I wasn't eating enough! But, let your body adjust, it takes time for it to change the way to uses energy, they are different systems in your body!
This was good!! Thank you!!
Thanks Charlene!
Very helpful tips-thank you for sharing. Hopefully I can get back on track.🙄💞
Thanks Kathleen. Every bite/meal is a new opportunity 🥰
Great reminders 🙏🏼

Thanks Jennifer!
Amazing!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Great tips
I'm a new vegan..im looking for a non dairy substitute for half & half for my coffee. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the suggestions, I don’t use creamer so I didn’t have any 😉
@@zenvegang2246 thank you so much...
@@veganmichele ...i love your cookbook....ive learned so much about vegan cooking
Rita! Thank you so very much. I’m really glad it’s been helpful❤️
I’m a beginner on the vegan diet
I wish you all the best! You can do it :) I've got. A ton of recipe videos and free recipes on my website www.veganmichele.com if you need some ideas.
Late night snacking 😭 great video
I feel ya. That’s where I typically go wrong too!

@@veganmichele thanks! i wish there was a way to know how much calories i need., or food, i'm sleepy not much energy... probably not enough...
Yeah I’d up the calories for sure then and see how that affects you.
@@veganmichele thanks Michele!
Just curious do you have this on fast speed! I love your video but have a hard time with how fast you talk!
Hi Barbara, no I don’t😊. Sorry that’s just how I speak😉💚
Wonderful channel, a healthy body in a healthy mind, a thousand likes, new subscriber, greetings from Mexico City (Santa Fe).
Thank you Jess😍

@@veganmichele thank you so much for your response ! Great advice.
@@veganmichele can I ask why you don’t pursue becoming a dietitian? You have such great nutrition knowledge 😊🙏🏽
Thank you. Maybe some day, it is definitely my passion. Thank you💚
Plant based protein nutrition
Eat more water rich foods really rang true with me. But honestly all of those reminders are welcome. 😉
That’s definitely a good one😉 thanks for watching!
Good luck
"You snack to appease your immediate self instead of your future self". That should be a T-shirt.

What about potatoes?
What’s the most weight you have had a client lose on your program?
Hi Amberly, this comment was buried so sorry I am just seeing it now. 80 lbs was my top losing client 😊
