@@j-n-ywell maybe she has an eating disorder and does need permission from someone…. That is a real thing- trust me. You are very lucky not to know that from experience.
I’ve been vegan for over 40 years. Until very recently, I deprived myself of delicious nutritious meals . in the early days. There was very little offered in terms of recipes and in finding particular food items. Now, with so many young people taking veganism and vegetarianism up it has rejuvenated my interest in eating better more delicious foods.
Not vegan, but I’m 70 and my ed has plagued me my whole life. It’s not an active disorder now but wow, I still have it in my brain when I eat anything that I think is too much or something not right. Not the best comment for any young girls struggling. But I love that this topic and illness is more talked about and visible. Thanks Maddie for being so open. It surely helps. ❤️❤️
It cracks me up that Maddie is talking about Summer Salads in a cardigan and I'm over here in the US in shorts and a tee at the very beginning of Summer dying from the 95 degree weather! And I'm in the north of the country lol!

Why are you still perpetuating completely unnecessary animal abuse, when you’re so close to being vegan? Would you wear the skin or fur of a dog or cat?
@@tofuneverbleeds Probably because God provided cows, bulls and sheep to provide us with milk, cheese, butter, leather shoes and woolly jumpers ... there is always enough for everyone.
I’ve been watching Maddie for years and I love her videos, but I’m so over seeing influencers spruiking various supplements, Ag1 being one of them. Many of these supplements are costly and out of the reach of ordinary people, and in my opinion at least, unnecessary for good health if you are eating a healthy diet.
It's definitely AG1 and BetterHelp making the rounds with these content creators. They have huge marketing budgets. Tho AG1 is expensive, at least it's not harmful as BH is.

Madeleine, thank you so much for always telling the truth and allowing your viewers to feel free with food. There is so much information out there that can contribute to negative self talk around eating. But as a ten year long vegan, your videos keep me motivated but also kind. Honestly, thank you so much.

This video was so helpful! Really appreciated your chat on eating disorders. Australia is going through a massive ED issue with its teens so this is timely
This positive message is so important. Also important is that people with digestive issues should restrict ultra-processed foods (which all hurt our gut microbiota) and that often I am forced to restrict my diet massively even healthy foods. There are a lot of people in this camp. 20:80 feels good to you in the context of your very healthy 80% of your diet and embracing anti-restriction, which I totally applaud, but that is way to high for many many people, could be everyone. I do think stress is worse in it's affect on the gut than some UPF food, but also that those foods are conducive to stress, though I think the deep stress from past trauma has the bigggest impact. I have had a farcically complex relationship with food because of autoimmune health problems (vegan for over 20 years, I love food massively) and every road leads back to diversity of real plant foods. Love you Maddie and all that you do X
I loved this video, thanks Madeleine ! I've been vegan for 8 years and I like to make chickpea omelette too, it looks like a meal we eat in the south of France, the "socca", I use some soy milk instead of water to add more proteins and nutrients, and I sometimes add some tofu and vegan cheese inside, it makes a really high protein meal 😋 My staples are: tofu, homemade seitan, tempeh, tahini, olive oil and I like to always have some mockmeats in my freezer for my lazy meals 😊
Love the way you express your thoughts around balanced nutrition and developing a healthy relationship with food, whether vegan or not. I’m not a strict vegan but I’d say I eat predominantly plant-based and overlap with most of the items on your daily list. I’d add whole grains (usually oatmeal) and legumes (lentils are probably my favorite, chickpeas a close second) to the list. After blood work showing low ferritin levels, I also supplement with a low dose of iron everyday.
Hi Maddie I was a vegan for 5 years but do to health issues I only brought eggs and fish back into my diet. I have burning mouth syndrome and acid reflux which my diet is very bland. I can't do any herbs, spices, sauces, and citrus foods. I'm 95% plant based. I bought your cookbook but unfortunately I can't make any of your meals. Thank you for sharing your precious time with us ❤❤
I recently purchased your cookbook on Amazon as a birthday gift. It's an absolutely gorgeous cookbook with easy-to-follow recipes. Our niece is thrilled to introduce your recipes to her family. I'm getting a copy for myself next. I just hope the measurement conversions are listed for us Americans. LOL. Thank you, Madeleine, for all the brilliant ideas you share! ❤
Dear reader 😅 (you know why I smile) I don‘t usually commet on YT videos. If you think about buying AG 1 and maby you‘re a student and don‘t have the money. You don‘t have to buy this to be healthy!

Hi Maddie, I'm a vegan of three years and I have lost lots of weight. I get what you're saying as I struggle with being obsessive about food and how much I eat. I was previously veggie but I much prefer being a. vegan and my energy levels are so much better.
Another great Q&A! I am vegetarian and do not eat any meat, and am now using oat milk, etc. I also only buy cruelty free products. I like what you said about buying the vegan burgers and such for people switching to vegan eating as it is a more gentle transition.
as a student while processed vegan food is sometimes expensive, they are very convenient, especially when I don't have time when I am studying but I still love sharing recipes in on my TH-cam channel that are more whole food forward, and I hope one day to inspire as many as Madeleine
I have really enjoyed and benefited from you opening up and sharing about mental health, ED and now history with period pain. Also, thank you for your disclaimer about how you aren't claiming a fix. I was diagnosed with stage 4 Endometriosis after over 15 years. Doctors dismissed my pain and emotional distress and wrote me off too. Thanks for using your platform for so much good
Thank you for being so open and honest about your eating disorder. I also struggle with intrusive thoughts and obsessive tendencies around food, despite being "recovered" from my anorexia. Becoming Vegan has healed much of my relationship with food, but it is something I must work on daily. I love your videos and your approach to a wholesome diet and lifestyle. Restricting is never the answer. ❤
I'm kinda scared to post this but: I was vegan for 6 years, in Canada, but during covid, I did fi back to just vegetarian, because as prices continued to go up, I just couldn't afford it anymore. I'll still eat plant based whenever I can, but, hell, at this point I can barely afford toilet paper
Madeleine Olivia oh how I wish I had discovered you on TH-cam earlier you are such an inspiration you have inspired and freed me, 53 and finally beating a lifetime of disordered eating which had basically destroyed me my mind my health and relationship. I am excited now to say good bye to Anorexia and now all the ocd traits it’s going to be hard but you have given me courage and hope ❤ today I actually sat down for toast and coffee rather than my weird must stay standing eating breakfast habit THANKYOU TRULY ❤
My Wife and I recently celebrated one year of eating plant-based! It's so amazing how much has changed during that time, and we've learned so much. Your videos have been incredibly helpful, especially when you share your personal approach to veganism. When we've made mistakes, we are so much kinder to ourselves and recognize that it isn't about being perfect. It's about reducing harm of animals, the planet, and making more mindful choices. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
I enjoy all of your content, but mostly the food. I went Vegan later in life about 5 years ago and yours was one of the first channels I found when I was looking for ideas about what to eat. I remember trying one of your recipes early on and I was so impressed with how easy it was to make and how tasty it was. I’ve been a fan ever since and I’ve enjoyed getting to know you better. Thanks for the ongoing inspiration ❤
omg same, like she is one of teh first pool ei followed and she is actually the one that inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel hoping ot inspire others to have a more plant based diet and show that it doesn't have to be expensive or complicated
As a vegan of a little over five years, I always love your approach to veganism. I would say also to anyone out there just like Madeline says try what works for you. No one is going to judge you if you fall off the wagon or modify your journey. I always say give it 21 days and you will feel so much better that you usually will not go back. To anyone out there that’s toying with the idea Madeline is a great resource
that is so true, like I love sharing on my TH-cam channel is all about balance, ad being vegan doesn't have to be complicated or expensive I hope that I can reach as many as Madeleine has and inspire people to just try with my TH-cam videos
Hi Madeline! Your video popped up in my feed and I’m so glad it did. What was in the jar when you made your breakfast? Is it a combo of nutritional yeast and….. thanks for your help!
I thank you for your content… I always enjoy 😊 I will say is that AG recommendations are difficult to promote to all in my opinion and as a vegan myself would love to have it… however it is so expensive!!!! I am totally sure it’s a great supplement however it’s so not available as a choice for all
I just made that salad for dinner tonight as I couldn't be bothered cooking. I added some sweet potato slices that I cooked in the air fryer. Was absolutely delicious plus it was washed down with a glass of vegan prosecco.....it is Friday after all x
AG1 is great, just be careful of the amount of B6. I started getting numbness and tingling in my hands after using it for a few days, but I also have POTS so I'm prone to nerve pain. Just pay attention to how your body feels and adjust the dose accordingly. More vitamins is not always better!
We occasionally opt for the odd processed vegan option when I can’t be bothered to cook. Most of our meals are cooked from scratch but I recently downloaded the Yuka app and have started to scan all the processed stuff and opt for the better options when we do choose some processed foods. Great video Maddie ❤
I try to plant based as much as possible but I do struggle if I go out for dinner on date night with my hubby. If the vegan option is terrible I feel like I don’t want to eat something crappy on the one night I get to get out ( I have 7 kids) . Sometimes I just end up with lots of veggie sides which is a bit boring. ❤
I'm vegan and eat tofu at least every second day, tempeh, legumes, loads of veges (not a lot of fruit unless it's summer and then it's all the yummy stuff) faux meat alternatives on occassion and cheese (very expensive here in New Zealand!) love chocolate and ice cream! Since going vegan (about 9 years ago) the increase in range of products has blown my mind! Bali is amazing for vegan food, beautifully created dishes that taste delicious!!
@@oksanakaido8437 I was in Ubud which has a lot of vegan restaurants and you could get anything from raw/smoothie bowls to pizza and burgers, Canggu was good also. Friends have been to other areas and said it was easy to get vegan options. Shame about your Dad and his trip, where was he?
@@catrobinson6282 I'm not surprised to hear that about Ubud since it's considered the "yoga/spiritual" capital of Bali! My dad spent time mostly in Kuta and also briefly in Canggu, he said he ate at the local warungs (food stalls). Maybe it's different for what's offered at the food stalls vs the restaurants/cafes. I've heard a lot about how Bali is supposed to be amazing for plant based food options, it'd be a shame if meat became a status symbol like it has in many other countries.
Slowly transitioning to becoming a vegetarian. I was one years ago but I was uninformed and unhealthy. I still eat meat occasionally but I don't beat myself up about it. I appreciate how much you motivate me to work on myself everyday. I also appreciate how you don't make negative comments about people who are not vegan. You make it okay to just do our best.
I'm not vegan due to some health constraints (although I dream of a day when I can be!), but I absolutely love watching your videos and learning of new ways to incorporate plant based foods into my diet! I also love how transparent and honest you are in your videos by sharing personal experiences that many of us have gone through. You're a true inspiration and such a lovely human, never change! :)
truly she is the one that inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel hoping to show others how being vegan doesn't mean it needs to be complicated or expensive and I hope one day to reach as many as Madeliene has
yep, have been loving also the more open vlogs, they have been so nice to get to know her more she is such an inspiration for my TH-cam channel and I hope that one day I can inspire as many as she has with my own weird recipes
Loved this video. I’m vegetarian 32 yrs, part vegan( like crisps too much) don’t eat dairy. My problem is having ms and not being able to stand too long at the hob. I like the quickness of some of your recipes, but a lot of them I’d need to order a lot if the spices, flour etc -I’m only one person, any idea how to do this cost effectively-thank you.
Remember you back in the day 10 years ago when the vegan meet ups just started to appear vegan revolution, that guy from peru ellie earthling, brummy vegan, hench herbivore etc my goodness how time flies 😮
Seconded re. tofu, it’s literally a fermented soy bean product so it’s no more processed than a basic cheese. The ingredients are just soybeans and water.
half of me is tofu at this point the other is probs yoghurt, cause I literally have a yoghurt every single day, which I love sharing on my TH-cam channel
There is quite a good breakdown of the science here: nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/soy/#:~:text=An%20epidemiological%20study%20following%20three,%25%20lower%20risk%2C%20respectively%2C%20of
I'm so sad that I have acid reflux and can't digest foods like beans, onions, tomatoes, chickpeas and garlic etc. And on top of that, I just found out I'm allergic to soy so no more tofu for me 😢 I used to eat very plant based, but since I started having acid reflux and digestion problems, I had to start eating more animal products cause they are easier to digest. I don't know what's wrong with my digestion, I try to eat healthy but it's just not working. Does anyone have any tips/advice for me?
I’m a vegetarian and have been all my life (except first 3 years). I do eat a very plant based diet also and use a lot of herbs and spices for flavouring. Really enjoyed this vlog, really informative. Some lovely recipes! Also I really like that white shirt and jeans on you - really suits you. 🥰
As far as motiviation goes... there are no all vegan restaurants where I live other than an amazing falafel place. As a chef and food lover (spoiled by my amazing dad no longer with us) I grew up thinking that you always eat better at home. Italians eat that way. I am never satisfied eating out. The ratios (of cooked/raw/protein/carbs/fats)are always wrong and I have to eat something else when I get home. Get a vegan foodie in you household or learn how to cook ! Much Love Peace from Upstate NY :)
Hi maddie, I really love your content and you are such an inspiration for many! ❤ I only disagree that oil is good and has been eating for so many years doesn’t make it good/ healthy and is still an ultra processed food, especially when it’s heated to high temperatures. For example Olives are healthy I totally agree but to isolate the oil makes it a not natural healthy food, I’m not saying it to criticise you. I only want to say be thoughtful what you promote to such a big audience when saying these things when you don’t know what it does to the human body in the long run that’s all🙂
But we do know what it does to the human body in the long run! It’s probably one of the most highly studied foods in the world. Here is a consensus: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6770785/ “The Mediterranean diet is considered as the foremost dietary regimen and its adoption is associated with the prevention of degenerative diseases and an extended longevity. The preeminent features of the Mediterranean diet have been agreed upon and the consumption of olive oil stands out as the most peculiar one. Indeed, the use of olive oil as the nearly exclusive dietary fat is what mostly characterizes the Mediterranean area. Plenty of epidemiological studies have correlated that the consumption of olive oil was associated with better overall health. Indeed, extra virgin olive oil contains (poly)phenolic compounds that are being actively investigated for their purported biological and pharma-nutritional properties. On 18 and 19 May 2018, several experts convened in Jaen (Spain) to discuss the most recent research on the benefits of olive oil and its components. We reported a summary of that meeting (reviewing several topics related to olive oil, not limited to health) and concluded that substantial evidence is accruing to support the widespread opinion that extra virgin olive oil should, indeed, be the fat of choice when it comes to human health and sustainable agronomy.”
www.health.harvard.edu/nutrition/is-extra-virgin-olive-oil-extra-healthy “Regardless of the type, olive oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, containing about 75% by volume. When substituted for saturated fat, monounsaturated fats help lower your "bad" LDL cholesterol. The health benefits of olive oil have been attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, observational studies have shown a link between lower risks of cardiovascular disease, some cancers, and even dementia in people who consume higher amounts of olive oil than those who use little or none.”
@@MadeleineOlivia I understand your point of view but have you ever heard of the nutritarian diet by dr.joel furman? He is plant based himself and has a total opposite point of view when it comes to oil, salt, sugar and other highly processed foods, shown with many studies as well! The Mediterranean diet is not a plantbased one and virgin oil is not meant to be heated to high temperatures. I’m totally okay if we disagree on this topic as we both have found studies that prove otherwise! I want you to know that I love your content and will continue to follow your journey 🧡 much love to you!
I tried processed vegan foods few times and I simply don't like it. I prefer just to not eat cheese and if I want f.ex. a veggie burger, I will do it by myself. At least I know what is inside.
yes to eating fats!!! but you cold add even more than a drop girl!! Is there a reason why you don't eat grains to your meals and so small portions? Like salad with tofu isn't that much. And 36 g of chickpea flour as a meal? I hope you are ok!
Not vegan, but do eat plenty of fruit and veggies. Ag1 is pricey for someone on a fixed income. I was wondering if using it every other day or say 3x per week would still be beneficial?
AG1 is fine to be taken once in a while especially ig u have a balance diet you can take it those days that you might not be eating lots of greens/fruits... I personally take AG1 which I have also shared on my TH-cam vlogs, and I can really feel the energy it gives me
I definitely don’t think I will ever be able to afford AG1 I have greens from a place called free soul and they’re similar (not the same but similar) help to boost my energy and are super affordable too 😊
Please say if you want to be plantbased some of the time not vegan ... vegan is about not contributing to animal cruelty and suffering. Disrespectful to the animals with a throw away comment
Maddie I am totally obsessed with your chickpea omelette recipe!! It is amazing 😍 It’s a perfectly balanced nutritious meal which keeps me full and it honestly tastes incredible. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️

As a vegan of a little over five years, I always love your approach to veganism. I would say also to anyone out there just like Madeline says try what works for you. No one is going to judge you if you fall off the wagon or modify your journey. I always say give it 21 days and you will feel so much better that you usually
will not go back.
To anyone out there that’s toying with the idea Madeline is a great resource
that is so true, like I love sharing on my TH-cam channel is all about balance, ad being vegan doesn't have to be complicated or expensive
I hope that I can reach as many as Madeleine has and inspire people to just try with my TH-cam videos
Hi Madeline! Your video popped up in my feed and I’m so glad it did. What was in the jar when you made your breakfast? Is it a combo of nutritional yeast and….. thanks for your help!
I thank you for your content… I always enjoy 😊 I will say is that AG recommendations are difficult to promote to all in my opinion and as a vegan myself would love to have it… however it is so expensive!!!! I am totally sure it’s a great supplement however it’s so not available as a choice for all
I checked it out too, but I thought it was too expensive for me. I looks great but its having another monthly bill that I can’t justify. X
I just made that salad for dinner tonight as I couldn't be bothered cooking. I added some sweet potato slices that I cooked in the air fryer. Was absolutely delicious plus it was washed down with a glass of vegan prosecco.....it is Friday after all x
Madeleine I've been waiting for this video and thanks for sharing this video♥️♥️♥️
Your whipped-together curry for dinner looks amazing. Going to attempt to re-create it for my own dinner tonight!
AG1 is great, just be careful of the amount of B6. I started getting numbness and tingling in my hands after using it for a few days, but I also have POTS so I'm prone to nerve pain. Just pay attention to how your body feels and adjust the dose accordingly. More vitamins is not always better!
We occasionally opt for the odd processed vegan option when I can’t be bothered to cook. Most of our meals are cooked from scratch but I recently downloaded the Yuka app and have started to scan all the processed stuff and opt for the better options when we do choose some processed foods.
Great video Maddie ❤
Great video! So informative and down to earth
Thank you!
I try to plant based as much as possible but I do struggle if I go out for dinner on date night with my hubby. If the vegan option is terrible I feel like I don’t want to eat something crappy on the one night I get to get out ( I have 7 kids) . Sometimes I just end up with lots of veggie sides which is a bit boring. ❤
I'm vegan and I mainly eat whole food, not loads of processed food. I enjoyed when you spoke about Bali and your personal cook!
I'm vegan and eat tofu at least every second day, tempeh, legumes, loads of veges (not a lot of fruit unless it's summer and then it's all the yummy stuff) faux meat alternatives on occassion and cheese (very expensive here in New Zealand!) love chocolate and ice cream! Since going vegan (about 9 years ago) the increase in range of products has blown my mind! Bali is amazing for vegan food, beautifully created dishes that taste delicious!!
Where were you in Bali? My dad went there this spring and said he actually didn't see much vegan food, it was mostly rice, veggies and chicken 🫤
@@oksanakaido8437 I was in Ubud which has a lot of vegan restaurants and you could get anything from raw/smoothie bowls to pizza and burgers, Canggu was good also. Friends have been to other areas and said it was easy to get vegan options. Shame about your Dad and his trip, where was he?
@@catrobinson6282 I'm not surprised to hear that about Ubud since it's considered the "yoga/spiritual" capital of Bali! My dad spent time mostly in Kuta and also briefly in Canggu, he said he ate at the local warungs (food stalls). Maybe it's different for what's offered at the food stalls vs the restaurants/cafes. I've heard a lot about how Bali is supposed to be amazing for plant based food options, it'd be a shame if meat became a status symbol like it has in many other countries.
How do you keep your big salads not wilted and wet for a couple of days? Every time I refrigerate a leftover salad, it’s kind of gross the next day.
Slowly transitioning to becoming a vegetarian. I was one years ago but I was uninformed and unhealthy. I still eat meat occasionally but I don't beat myself up about it. I appreciate how much you motivate me to work on myself everyday. I also appreciate how you don't make negative comments about people who are not vegan. You make it okay to just do our best.
Loved loved loved this video so much!
I'm not vegan due to some health constraints (although I dream of a day when I can be!), but I absolutely love watching your videos and learning of new ways to incorporate plant based foods into my diet! I also love how transparent and honest you are in your videos by sharing personal experiences that many of us have gone through. You're a true inspiration and such a lovely human, never change! :)
truly she is the one that inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel hoping to show others how being vegan doesn't mean it needs to be complicated or expensive and I hope one day to reach as many as Madeliene has
What are you health problems, I was hospitalised but theres no way I'm contributing to animal cruelty and suffering I'd rather die
Thank you for another wonderful relaxing video. 🍻☀️🌴
You are a fountain of knowledge and good advice Maddy. Thank you.
totally agree, she is always inprieign me to share my own recipes on my TH-cam channel
i’m vegan! foods i eat basically everyday are oats, plant milks, berries, nuts and seeds, tofu, chocolate, greens, peanut butter, potatoes, and legumes!
Thank you for this informative vlog 😊
Been vegan for over 15 years, love watching your video's. I love that you're so real about life.
yep, have been loving also the more open vlogs, they have been so nice to get to know her more
she is such an inspiration for my TH-cam channel and I hope that one day I can inspire as many as she has with my own weird recipes
Sprouted lentils and seeds aswell as nuts are an everyday essential for me.
This would be such a good addition for me!
@@MadeleineOlivia super easy to sprout your own. You can do lentils in empty Tetra packs!
nuts on almost every single meal too
literally I need the crunch
Thanks for sharing with us...thoroughly enjoyed it!
Loved this video. I’m vegetarian 32 yrs, part vegan( like crisps too much) don’t eat dairy. My problem is having ms and not being able to stand too long at the hob. I like the quickness of some of your recipes, but a lot of them I’d need to order a lot if the spices, flour etc -I’m only one person, any idea how to do this cost effectively-thank you.
Good video lots of good information 😊
You’re welcome!
You look lovely in that white shirt. I loved the 'talking' omelette! Hilarious 😆
I’m vegan 🌱 of 4.5 years. Most days I eat oats, plant milk, blueberries, peanut butter, chocolate, seasonal fruit, spinach, hummus, tofu, chickpeas, broccoli, oils, tomatoes, avocado, rice or potatoes, garlic!!!
Finally cracked it. Air fryer tofu recipe, first one i liked 😊
Remember you back in the day 10 years ago when the vegan meet ups just started to appear vegan revolution, that guy from peru ellie earthling, brummy vegan, hench herbivore etc my goodness how time flies 😮
Seconded re. tofu, it’s literally a fermented soy bean product so it’s no more processed than a basic cheese. The ingredients are just soybeans and water.
half of me is tofu at this point the other is probs yoghurt, cause I literally have a yoghurt every single day, which I love sharing on my TH-cam channel
the chickpea flour pancake would be good for ppl who get the egg ick
You lost me when you started to promote unnecessary supplements
I love you, Madeleine!
Thank you for this video. Where do you get the ag1 from? I’ve never heard of it. Do you only get it from your code?
It’s linked in the description of this video for you ❤️
You have mentioned recent research suggest soy products are very beneficial. Could you please link the research you are referring to?
There is quite a good breakdown of the science here:

Thank you!
I don't think you plugged AG1 enough LOL
I'm so sad that I have acid reflux and can't digest foods like beans, onions, tomatoes, chickpeas and garlic etc. And on top of that, I just found out I'm allergic to soy so no more tofu for me 😢 I used to eat very plant based, but since I started having acid reflux and digestion problems, I had to start eating more animal products cause they are easier to digest. I don't know what's wrong with my digestion, I try to eat healthy but it's just not working. Does anyone have any tips/advice for me?
As a fellow thai curry paste lover, if that paste is Mae Ploy it is not vegan and I was devastated when I found that out
If you want a similar consistency try Thai Taste pastes. That has been my switch so far since I found out
I am vegan !!!!
I’m a vegetarian and have been all my life (except first 3 years). I do eat a very plant based diet also and use a lot of herbs and spices for flavouring.
Really enjoyed this vlog, really informative. Some lovely recipes!
Also I really like that white shirt and jeans on you - really suits you. 🥰
Where can l get your book?
The Portmeirion Rose Quartz plate stealing my heart ❤🥰
I also measure time in ATW 10 minutes haha
As far as motiviation goes... there are no all vegan restaurants where I live other than an amazing falafel place. As a chef and food lover (spoiled by my amazing dad no longer with us) I grew up thinking that you always eat better at home. Italians eat that way. I am never satisfied eating out. The ratios (of cooked/raw/protein/carbs/fats)are always wrong and I have to eat something else when I get home. Get a vegan foodie in you household or learn how to cook ! Much Love Peace from Upstate NY :)
건강한 채식 좋아요❤
I have become vegan and love the omelette from your book. I am struggling with the fact I have a nut allergy so I can’t make certain things x
Beans work as a replacement in a lot of dishes. Especially those that nuts are used for a creamy element.
@@1auntievenom thank you so much, that’s really helpful x
Hi maddie, I really love your content and you are such an inspiration for many! ❤ I only disagree that oil is good and has been eating for so many years doesn’t make it good/ healthy and is still an ultra processed food, especially when it’s heated to high temperatures. For example Olives are healthy I totally agree but to isolate the oil makes it a not natural healthy food, I’m not saying it to criticise you. I only want to say be thoughtful what you promote to such a big audience when saying these things when you don’t know what it does to the human body in the long run that’s all🙂
But we do know what it does to the human body in the long run! It’s probably one of the most highly studied foods in the world.
Here is a consensus: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6770785/
“The Mediterranean diet is considered as the foremost dietary regimen and its adoption is associated with the prevention of degenerative diseases and an extended longevity. The preeminent features of the Mediterranean diet have been agreed upon and the consumption of olive oil stands out as the most peculiar one. Indeed, the use of olive oil as the nearly exclusive dietary fat is what mostly characterizes the Mediterranean area. Plenty of epidemiological studies have correlated that the consumption of olive oil was associated with better overall health. Indeed, extra virgin olive oil contains (poly)phenolic compounds that are being actively investigated for their purported biological and pharma-nutritional properties. On 18 and 19 May 2018, several experts convened in Jaen (Spain) to discuss the most recent research on the benefits of olive oil and its components. We reported a summary of that meeting (reviewing several topics related to olive oil, not limited to health) and concluded that substantial evidence is accruing to support the widespread opinion that extra virgin olive oil should, indeed, be the fat of choice when it comes to human health and sustainable agronomy.”
www.health.harvard.edu/nutrition/is-extra-virgin-olive-oil-extra-healthy
“Regardless of the type, olive oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, containing about 75% by volume. When substituted for saturated fat, monounsaturated fats help lower your "bad" LDL cholesterol. The health benefits of olive oil have been attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, observational studies have shown a link between lower risks of cardiovascular disease, some cancers, and even dementia in people who consume higher amounts of olive oil than those who use little or none.”
@@MadeleineOlivia I understand your point of view but have you ever heard of the nutritarian diet by dr.joel furman? He is plant based himself and has a total opposite point of view when it comes to oil, salt, sugar and other highly processed foods, shown with many studies as well! The Mediterranean diet is not a plantbased one and virgin oil is not meant to be heated to high temperatures. I’m totally okay if we disagree on this topic as we both have found studies that prove otherwise! I want you to know that I love your content and will continue to follow your journey 🧡 much love to you!
How bad does it taste?
I tried processed vegan foods few times and I simply don't like it. I prefer just to not eat cheese and if I want f.ex. a veggie burger, I will do it by myself. At least I know what is inside.
Beans, lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, chickpeas, all give me unpleasant issues.
Best to avoid then! Your body telling you something - it might take some time to heal your gut from this issue before you can introduce them again
Doesn’t kimchi have fish sauce, you need to look for vegan specific one, because they all have animal product as ingredient
I only buy vegan kimchi!
You can buy vegan Kimchi
AG1 Clearly does nothing for memory then !! 😂
😂😂😂
I dont know what it is ive been watching you for years now and i somehow feel like youre not doing so well these days..
yes to eating fats!!! but you cold add even more than a drop girl!!
Is there a reason why you don't eat grains to your meals and so small portions? Like salad with tofu isn't that much. And 36 g of chickpea flour as a meal?
I hope you are ok!
Not vegan, but do eat plenty of fruit and veggies. Ag1 is pricey for someone on a fixed income. I was wondering if using it every other day or say 3x per week would still be beneficial?
AG1 is fine to be taken once in a while especially ig u have a balance diet
you can take it those days that you might not be eating lots of greens/fruits...
I personally take AG1 which I have also shared on my TH-cam vlogs, and I can really feel the energy it gives me
I definitely don’t think I will ever be able to afford AG1 I have greens from a place called free soul and they’re similar (not the same but similar) help to boost my energy and are super affordable too 😊
Unnatural Vegan has a great video about AG1, please check it out before buying it.😊
Please say if you want to be plantbased some of the time not vegan ... vegan is about not contributing to animal cruelty and suffering. Disrespectful to the animals with a throw away comment
Maddie I am totally obsessed with your chickpea omelette recipe!! It is amazing 😍 It’s a perfectly balanced nutritious meal which keeps me full and it honestly tastes incredible. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
