I love how you're so open and kind about your diet. Most vegans I've watched on TH-cam just seem to yell their opinions and shame those who do have the same diet. I really appreciate the way you endorse your diet! Lots of love from Alaska
I've struggled with an eating disorder for awhile now, and I'm thinking about going vegan. I want to do this, because I want to eat better and feel better physically and mentally. Here we goooooo :)
+Kirsten Churchill you should try it without telling them anything, I doubt they'd notice!I struggled with an eating disorder for years and since I became vegan I have been happier than ever!The eating is completely guiltless and every day I love my body more because of it!!!
I'm fifteen and getting more and more into the vegan/raw vegan lifestyle because I just feel like it's such a positive and healthy way of living. Since I started changing my died, I have so much better skin, I don't feel so bloated anymore, I'm a lot happier and feeling the best I ever have! 🌺💞
You have no idea how much I appreciate your attitude, especially you saying that you simply eat this way because it makes you feel better, but you're not a doctor or nutritionist and don't want to say one diet works for everyone....THANK YOU!! Seriously, nobody would hate vegans if they were all like you
Your what I eat in a day videos are seriously some of the best I've ever seen! So beautiful and peaceful and inspirational! I love it! Would love to see more of them!
I love how you don't shove your diet down people's throats and make others feel bad for eating certain foods-- because everyone has their own preferences in their diet and need more of different nutrients! Awesome!!
What I like about you is that you mentioned there is no one diet for everyone. Some people try to force their preferred diet to everyone else, and it is refreshing to hear you say why this particular diet works for you. Thank you.
I LOVE THIS!! I just became a vegan last week! I AM going to the store tomorrow to get some veggies to make some of your delicious recipes. Thank you!!
I love your videos! I just filmed my first what I eat video on my iPhone and made it casual and it was still a bit difficult!! I use iMovie but I'm not a big fan. I think I might need to switch to final cut... I can't wait to see your video!
Finally I see what another vegan eats! i always feel self conscious about how much I eat but when you're mainly eating fruits and vegetables it's impossible not to make larger portions and eat more often. Thanks for posting:)

HOW DO I GET MYSELF TO LIKE GREEN JUICE? Seriously I can barely drink one sip without puking. I need to add a shit ton of fruit but I feel like that kinda defeats the purpose lol
+Lindsay Baker I used to hate green juices as well but i tried to do them adding A TON of lemon juice or mint and it makes it better. I drink apple, spinach and lemon juice and its pretty good because you cant really taste the spinach
+Lindsay Baker I make a juice with 1 apple, 1/2 cucumber, 2 stalks of celery, a big handful of spinach and ginger... It's delicious and refreshing and tastes like apple juice :)
There are some insanely nice Recipes! If you use baby leaf spinach, banana, apple, celery, cinnamon, lemon, and mint. Omg it's awesome! Also: Add some berries.
I just recently discovered your videos by HealthNutNutrition and I have to say, I love your videos too much! They all look so appetizing and they're so healthy! I found out about 2 months ago that I have Celiac disease after looses about 30 lbs the doctors were able to find out what was wrong with me, and can't have gluten at all and your videos really help give me ideas, Thank you for sharing!
+kimmidoll123 watch Gary Yorufsky's speech called "Best speech in the world" or something like that. It will give you the motivation to start a vegan diet!
wow! all of that look AMAZING! i'm vegan and i have never thought that theres so many options for meals... nor really tried to make any of these before, but i will sure try to make these now. thank you!
First of all, you are adorable. lol! I REALLY love how you are open and unjudgemental. The other raw vegans (cough, cough Freelee, cough, Kristina, cough... sorry. scratchy throat) are all like, "If you don't do this, you're wrong! You're gonna DIEEE!!!!" THANK YOU for NOT doing that! lol. I will definitely sub to you. One thing before I go... Woman, by 8 am you have already had like, a gallon of liquid. How do you NOT have to pee every thirty seconds?? lol ;)
I'm not vegan but i subscribed to your channel. youre the only one i can watch and enjoy. i appreciate you not pushing a vegan life style on everyone. keep up the great work!
Gili Cohen I'm really not a fan of juices, they're full of nutrients but they're also full of sugar without any fibre. I'd much rather have a smoothie, not removing the fibre means everything is digested slower so you're still getting the same nutrients just without the sugar spikes, plus you'll be fuller for longer.
Okay, one I love the Russian accent. two, I live in Canada too! three, I clicked like before the first quarter of the clip was ever over. I love your physical presentation and most importantly the product you produce. you seem very down to earth and you just helped me on my road to veganism! subscribing as I speak.
there is a store called oil and vinegar and they have so many different natural flavored olive oils you would LOVE. my favorite is blood orange olive oil

@fablunch Regarding Multivitamins, I highly recommend Garden Of Life or New Chapter. They are a bit pricey but are 100% whole food based, sprouted and/or fermented. If you try the Garden of Life protein powder, it already has a lot of vitamins which is what I do but then I also take an extra vitamin B complex and vitamin C. It is okay to take extra B & C. But be sure to use buffered or Ester-C. Your video is really awesome! I love it! I see how healthy you and look. Many blessings to you 💚
damn girl ! I live in Toronto as well and vegetables are not cheap especially the organic ones! I would go broke so fast if I ate like this but very inspiring nonetheless :)
No need to buy organic. Normal fruits/vegetables are enough if you don't have much money, you don't need to push it if you can't : ) also, I'd suggest to buying in bulk and use coupons, it can make you save too!
+cumensu, word... to walk out of the grocery store with 2-4 pounds of top sirloin, or rib-eye steaks would need to spent 20-50 dollars easy. 2pound tri-tip loin is 24-30 dollars. Hell even foster farms chickens are like 12 or 14 dollars. Just a few cuts will double or triple my bill at the register.
I really want to make the effort this year to be vegan and change my life forever with my husband. We haven’t been healthy for a really long time now and I hope this will turn things around. ✌🏼
hi, Im so excited to try your recipes, have considered going raw and I can really relate to a lot of digestive issues. Im so hopeful now Ive been changing my diet slowly to eating clean no more food allergies
Really enjoyed your video and your meal planning ideas. I am battling to eat a healthy vegan mostly raw diet after falling off the wagon with a stressful job and your video is a great reminder there are delicious and simple recipes I can make.
This helped inspire me, as I have had the issues along with autoimmune for too too long now. Going to make the switch with you and your meals.. Thank you for putting this together and out here.
Hi I'm 14 and I'm a vegetarian working my way to vegan even just being vegetarian for a month now there's been a difference do you have any tips though for the change from vegetarian to vegan
At first I got a lot of vegan alternatives like vegan yogurt, almond milk, vegan ice cream (I love So Delicious) and vegan cheese and eggs. That stuff can be expensive but helpful at first. It's really not that bad. You can eat Oreos if you live in the US and almond chocolate milk by Blue Diamond killed chocolate and sweet cravings. Now I just casually eat cereal just make sure it has no honey, toast, bagel (just not egg bagels), PASTA, salads (careful of dressings), veggies, and fruit. Chips, pretzels, non-buttered popcorn, rice, TOFU. It's really just a balance of carbs and veggies and fruit. I can rarely think about dairy anymore. It just seems gross to me. If u need encouragement, watch some vegan vids. I love bitesizevegan. Good luck and stay happy with this amazing lifestyle!
Ive been vegetarian for about 3 years im about to be 16 and i just started being vegan! I just wanna wish you luck on ya journey and say how awesome it is to see other youngsters like me standing up for something as important as the environment, animal life or even just your own health. GO YOU 😩🙌🏼👏🏼
Maddie Grace I also became a vegan at age 14 and 3 years later I can say I regret nothing. The most important thing is to educate yourself on all the nutritions you need and of course remeber that in these early stages mistakes might happen but dont let them set you back. Good luck ☺
missbelledujour I actually tried to prove you wrong by searching to actual peer-reviewed articles, but it's true... Lemons are not alkalizing lol. Crazy how many nutrition myths are out there. Imma still drink my lemon water doee
Michelle Hendricks I read this somewhere too! So if I have gastritis, should I still drink lemon water because I'm curious as to whether it would irritate my stomach before it metabolizes?
A trick to keep your bananas fresh longer - tear them apart and put saran wrap on the tips. the reason they go bad is because gases (i forget which) are released through the stems, which makes them go brown. I have been doing this for awhile myself now, and it really works:) if you google "how to keep bananas fresh" I'm sure you'll find some more detailed evidence if you choose to do so
Be careful with things acidic like lemon water first thing in the morning !! With nothing else in your tummy it can harm the lining of your stomach ❤️❤️
Sonia Marie Alarcon The taste is acid but it’s basic for your stomach. Please do some research, you will see how it’s amazing. I hope you will give it a try.
It is my first time in your channel and I just loved it! I became really vegetarian three months ago and I am trying to become vegan! I live in Brazil and I am in love with your recipes and channel. Keep posting!
+Eileen LeValley She probably does not spend a DIME on meds and doc bills! ;) Buying in bulk gets you discounts, eating seasonaly ensures cheapest and highest quality available, fresh produce is always cheaper than packaged goods, plants are much cheaper than meat/dairy/animal products! It's less expensive than you think! :)
+SPACEMONKEY288 Me too ! meat is so expensive! I've always wanted to go vegan, because I don't wear anything from animals, and I use vegan beauty products, but I'm on the verge to anemia and the doctor says nuts won't cut it *sigh*
Captain Cici you just gotta look into what your body needs and look up different fruits veggies nuts or wheat, the plant kingdom gives you everything your body wants and needs. or just look up vegan recipes lol ive made and tryed a couple there actually really good, leave me feeling happier and more energized to. not sure if others feel the same but i feel good after a healthy meal lol
Captain Cici Taking nutrition advice from a Doc is a very bad idea as most aren't trained more than a handful of hours in that particular field... A plant based lifestyle is IDEAL for many deficient diet issues! :) We should all be eating at least a pound of greens a day!? Are you?! Pairing those greens with fresh vitamin C rich foods ensures you absorb as much as your body can... Whole food iron supps FOR A TIME/AS A CRUTCH as you get your levels back up is also a good idea! Get advice from a naturopath or a holistic nutritionist. Docs know a lot, but nutrition wise, they shouldn't be your first stop! Vx #GoVegan #ItsTime ;)
Thank you! but you've made me hungry watching this now! lol You must try organic white wine vinegar or better still plain white vinegar! with lemon juice & extra virgin olive oil as a salad dressing too. It would make even plain lettuce taste delicious & so moreish! Have just subscribed to your channel
Thank you for this, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am newer coming back to eating this way and it is so nice to have all your yummy recipes
Are there any vegan fitness channels for men? (other than vegan gains). I want to become vegan, and I'm currently learning and would like a channel that I can relate too. There's so many channels with girly vibes/recipes. I'm interested in a vegan channel related to budget recipes (since i'm in college) Thanks!
Powsimian, potato strong, drewlikesrice, lee gaines, Tim shieff, bananiac, minimal pro, vegan health fitness, simply vegan, plant based athlete, Jason pizzino, theglucosenetwork... And way more hahah
+Hereford Johnson CamandNina are a couple and I absolutely love their channel! They follow a high carb vegan diet so it's definitely worth checking out :)
Yes please! I've been trying to switch to a plant based diet for about a year and a half. I mainly just eat veg but I also eat eggs and chicken. I wanna cut out all animal products both for health and moral reasons but I really need advice and recipes
I can't wait to finish my invisalign treatment so that I can snack again... I miss it sooo much, all I can do is binge eat to meet my time requirement for the day. I'm excited to try your recipes, especially those beautiful green soups and dips.
Hi! I was wondering how I should get my B12 vitamins if I'm going vegan....I have heard that it's almost only in animal based products. Does anyone know what I can eat instead?
I'm currently vegetarian and I'm working my way towards being vegan very soon. The only meal that appealed to me was the zucchini soup but I'll still give the rest a go. I look forward to giving these recipes and the other recipes on your channel a shot. Cheers.
Nope, a good juicer will only remove the fiber leaving a nutritious juice. However, some studies show that fiber optimizes nutrient absorption, maybe that's what you're thinking about
Hello Beautiful Olga! I'm a little late on this one; just watched! But you mentionned wanting options for Vegan Multis so here I am! I loooOOOooove Garden of Life products: raw D3, B12, Raw Meal in Vanilla Chai! Yummm-my! I take their Raw Prenatal Whole Food Multi and love it (I'm not pregnant or trying to be, I am of childbearing age though.) Suggested use is 3 caps a day, but one is fine for me as I use it more as a top up than for therapeutic benefits. High integrity, high quality, organic, non GMO, 100% renewable energy, glass bottle... Their products are flawless to me! And nope, nobody's paying me to say that! ;) Hope it helps! Love your sweet videos, you're a joy to watch! Vx
lilserbogirl4eva i dont think that was a lot of food compare to freelee the banana girl and also they were low in calories therefore needed to eat a huge amount of it
lilserbogirl4eva Are you for real? I was wondering how she could eat so little. I highly doubt she's ingesting anywhere near 2000 kcal a day, and if she's not in a weight loss diet that's a very small amount. But well, metabolisms. If I ate that I'd probably faint lol But as long as she feels okay...
+lilserbogirl4eva Seriously? Haha.. I thought it wasn't that much. When she said something like how we're thinking about how much she eats.. all she had was like liquids?
lemon juice is highly acidic... not alkaline. lemons have pH of 2-3.. water has a pH of 7.4 mix them together you will get a lemon water solution of 5-6pH.
Frankenscuzz 2:29 she clearly writes high alkaline suggesting it has a pH of above 7.8. Additionally, it just looks like she on a liquid diet, with loads of supplements. Dont think this is "healthy" at all, especially not if you have a physical job. Maybe this diet will give a blogger the energy they need.
Lemon is alkaline forming food. There is a difference between alkaline and alkaline forming food.Alkaline food do not have to be alkaline to start with but their effect on the body is what counts!
We tried your Mexican pilaf and zucchini hummus recipes. They were an instant hit! And I like the zucchini hummus much better than the traditional one with chickpeas. Thank you!! 🙂🙌🏼
2:30 says lemon water is highly alkaline. That is incorrect. Lemons are acidic, not alkaline. I'm not arguing it's not healthy for you, but simple litmus paper would tell you that's just a factual mistake.
+Troye Sivan I'm sorry I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. The stomach is naturally full of acid, and lemons are acidic. Nothing about that combination will turn anything alkaline.
Lemons are acidic but inside the body when they have been fully metabolized and their minerals are dissociated in the bloodstream, their effect is alkalizing and therefore raises the pH of body tissue. Just google it - there is a lot of good information on this.
Love this video and yes I would love to see more of what you eat, I have been wanting to change my diet up to more raw plant based and what I have seen here is absolutely inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing. I am new to your channel so I will look you up and sign up for your newsletter.
Because if you eat small portions, then you'll start craving more food preferably the unhealthy junky foods. So it's important you stock up frequently.
i am new to your channel. I have bpd and have quite recently discovered that all sugary or processed foods make some of my symptoms like stress, anxiety, anger, depression and lathargy worse so i am slowly going vegan as already i am noticing a positive difference after only 2weeks on a plant based diet. Im so glad i stumbled upon your channel to find you suffer from some of the same problems, after struggling to find different new recipes to try out here you are -cant wait to try them. keep up the great work x👍👏👏 Sarah (UK)
+Meredith Olin Yeah, it made me sad seeing all the fiber slough out of the juicer just to be discarded. That's part of the reason those foods are desirable in the first place!
isnt the fiber good for regularity? i mean i would never throw that fiber away, i just think people want things to be too smooth and they are picky not realizing they are throwing away the good stuff
Hey I'm from Toronto too! You probably already know these places but in case you don't here are just some restaurants that are mostly or all vegan; lola's kitchen, Fresh, Urban Herbivore, Rawlicious (My favourite) One Love and there are just so many more throughout the city
I really hate when people say eating healthy is expensive. I bought all healthy foods, no meat, mostly veggies yesterday & it was only $40! & the groceries will last me almost 2 weeks. People can't admit that they're just lazy & don't want to do the research.
I'm suffering from candida and it's so scary. I'm now making the transition into a healthy diet. I hate vegetables but I'm optimistic and determined. Going to watch your videos and get this rolling. ❤️
I have been thinking of going vegan because all those factory farm videos of chickens in discussing caged and cows with there throats slit. But I feel like I would never be able to eat most sandwiches. I don't know because I really hate vegetables:p
I used to hate vegetables when I wasn't a vegetarian! Your taste buds are used to all the trashy food you eat and you don't get the real great flavor or veggies! I used to hate mushrooms before being a veg now I love them so much, your taste buds change once you give them better food :)
+Spring Howell look up dr mcdougall! fill up on starches and beans and lentils and potatoes and stuff like that...doesnt ever hurt to add in some greens but yeah im not huge on vegetables myself haha thhink its a bad misconception that vegans or vegetarians are just like obsessed with vegetables haha. if you dont care about the health overly vegetable aspect but want to be vegan for the animals and the planet there are tons of meat and cheese substitutes that im obsessed with!! the sliced turkey and sausages can taste so realistic! look up the brands field roast, gardein, tofurkey, daiya :D
this is why I can never go vegan! I mean im. obsessed with these videos and I love the life style and I dream to be one one day but I cant eat so little! im not overwieght but I neeeeddd carbs especially in the morning! I can never be satisfied with veggies only!! it would just make me sick!
Well then make the switch slowly. See if there's any replacements to milk or meat that you enjoy and then incorporate it. You can still enjoy pasta, chocolate, oats, burgers, pizza, cashew-based cheese and other filling food as a vegan. Just see what you like and take time with it!
+veryfancydoily yes im going to try that! My problem was that I thought vegan meant raw till 4 only. ive done my research and they are completely different. Thank you for your comment
you dont have to eat just veggies though, whats wrong with eating rice and pasta and potatoes and all the yummy starches? you don't really meat to get your carbs girl
I GOT TIRED JUST BY WATCHING IT..!! ..IT SEEMS AS A FULL TIME JOB.. WHO DOES SPENT SO MUCH TIME..THE WHOLE DAY PREPARING 1 MILLION DIFFERENT DISHES..?????..
Madi Paul I'm guessing that English is their second language so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they are just confused how someone could do all of that in addition to doing a full time job. I also wondered that. Granted, I'm slow at cooking and don't have a dishwasher so perhaps that explains it.
+Ever curious: Michelle my parents always had 2 jobs when I was growing up, they always found time to cook at home. It's all about priorities. Not to mention it was too expensive to always go out to eat or buy processed food.
That was beautiful, honestly. I go to college so that I can afford nice homemade meals for my family in the future like this and time to make them. Amazing !
How does she make all those drinks in the morning? I can barely walk when i wake up
A vegan diet gives her more energy!
+Аylin w. most likely her husband's credit cards motivate her.
+Mandy Roy lol :3 It's the fact that she eats a lot of vegetables not the fact that she's vegan '-'
+Dannysubliminal omg LMAO
+omega. Eliminating the bad is as important as adding the good.
I love how you're so open and kind about your diet. Most vegans I've watched on TH-cam just seem to yell their opinions and shame those who do have the same diet. I really appreciate the way you endorse your diet! Lots of love from Alaska
I've struggled with an eating disorder for awhile now, and I'm thinking about going vegan. I want to do this, because I want to eat better and feel better physically and mentally. Here we goooooo :)
How are you right now? :)
+LILING LO Can't say I'm any better. My parents won't support veganism. Thanks for asking!
+Kirsten Churchill you should try it without telling them anything, I doubt they'd notice!I struggled with an eating disorder for years and since I became vegan I have been happier than ever!The eating is completely guiltless and every day I love my body more because of it!!!
+Zixie thanks for the advice! I eat less and less animal products a day, I'm going from there!
+Kirsten Churchill Sorry to hear that. Being vegetarian is the way to go.
I'm fifteen and getting more and more into the vegan/raw vegan lifestyle because I just feel like it's such a positive and healthy way of living. Since I started changing my died, I have so much better skin, I don't feel so bloated anymore, I'm a lot happier and feeling the best I ever have! 🌺💞
Yayyy, I'm so happy for you 😊

Finally I see what another vegan eats! i always feel self conscious about how much I eat but when you're mainly eating fruits and vegetables it's impossible not to make larger portions and eat more often. Thanks for posting:)
Your voice is so calming and I love it😊
All of these looks so good! Especially the salad and soup, I'm definitely gonna try these recipes soon! :)
Just found you and your videos and I'm so inspired! I love your food combinations and this gave me some great ideas! :-)
I became vegan two weeks ago and searched for some recipes and ideas.
I have to try the zucchini soup, it looks delicious!
Congratulations! Thanks for watching my video 😊

Opinions on juicing versus smoothies
Gili Cohen I'm really not a fan of juices, they're full of nutrients but they're also full of sugar without any fibre. I'd much rather have a smoothie, not removing the fibre means everything is digested slower so you're still getting the same nutrients just without the sugar spikes, plus you'll be fuller for longer.
You can live off smoothies whereas you cannot live off juices
boo bie That's actually a really good way to look at it
Okay, one I love the Russian accent. two, I live in Canada too! three, I clicked like before the first quarter of the clip was ever over. I love your physical presentation and most importantly the product you produce. you seem very down to earth and you just helped me on my road to veganism! subscribing as I speak.
Do you ever make anything with the pulp from making your juices? If so, what do you make?

damn girl ! I live in Toronto as well and vegetables are not cheap especially the organic ones! I would go broke so fast if I ate like this but very inspiring nonetheless :)
You give up meat or eat it way less and you have more money to spare.
+cumensu you make a good argument
No need to buy organic. Normal fruits/vegetables are enough if you don't have much money, you don't need to push it if you can't : ) also, I'd suggest to buying in bulk and use coupons, it can make you save too!
+cumensu, word... to walk out of the grocery store with 2-4 pounds of top sirloin, or rib-eye steaks would need to spent 20-50 dollars easy. 2pound tri-tip loin is 24-30 dollars. Hell even foster farms chickens are like 12 or 14 dollars. Just a few cuts will double or triple my bill at the register.
I really want to make the effort this year to be vegan and change my life forever with my husband. We haven’t been healthy for a really long time now and I hope this will turn things around. ✌🏼
How is the lemon water highly alkaline if lemon is acidic?
Lemon is acidic, but when your body processes it, it becomes alkaline.
hi, Im so excited to try your recipes, have considered going raw and I can really relate to a lot of digestive issues. Im so hopeful now Ive been changing my diet slowly to eating clean no more food allergies
these kinds of vids always inspire me so much, then i realize i'm out of veggies :'D
Really enjoyed your video and your meal planning ideas. I am battling to eat a healthy vegan mostly raw diet after falling off the wagon with a stressful job and your video is a great reminder there are delicious and simple recipes I can make.
You really don't eat that much...most of those foods have very few calories. Also I'm jealous of the amount of time you can devote to cooking.
This helped inspire me, as I have had the issues along with autoimmune for too too long now. Going to make the switch with you and your meals.. Thank you for putting this together and out here.
Hi I'm 14 and I'm a vegetarian working my way to vegan even just being vegetarian for a month now there's been a difference do you have any tips though for the change from vegetarian to vegan
At first I got a lot of vegan alternatives like vegan yogurt, almond milk, vegan ice cream (I love So Delicious) and vegan cheese and eggs. That stuff can be expensive but helpful at first. It's really not that bad. You can eat Oreos if you live in the US and almond chocolate milk by Blue Diamond killed chocolate and sweet cravings. Now I just casually eat cereal just make sure it has no honey, toast, bagel (just not egg bagels), PASTA, salads (careful of dressings), veggies, and fruit. Chips, pretzels, non-buttered popcorn, rice, TOFU. It's really just a balance of carbs and veggies and fruit. I can rarely think about dairy anymore. It just seems gross to me. If u need encouragement, watch some vegan vids. I love bitesizevegan. Good luck and stay happy with this amazing lifestyle!
did i just meet myself omg me too
Friends not Food lol same
Ive been vegetarian for about 3 years im about to be 16 and i just started being vegan! I just wanna wish you luck on ya journey and say how awesome it is to see other youngsters like me standing up for something as important as the environment, animal life or even just your own health. GO YOU 😩🙌🏼👏🏼
Maddie Grace I also became a vegan at age 14 and 3 years later I can say I regret nothing. The most important thing is to educate yourself on all the nutritions you need and of course remeber that in these early stages mistakes might happen but dont let them set you back. Good luck ☺
I just tried the Mexican Pilaf with quinoa using a jalapeño instead of the chilli powder. It's pretty good and easy to make actually! Thanks a lot!
wouldn't lemon water be acidic rather than alkaline?
Agreed.
Once ingested, lemons are actually alkalizing :)
Mit Mat I am a biochemist ans cancer scientist. Show me a study about this lemon alkalinization ?
missbelledujour I actually tried to prove you wrong by searching to actual peer-reviewed articles, but it's true... Lemons are not alkalizing lol. Crazy how many nutrition myths are out there. Imma still drink my lemon water doee
Michelle Hendricks I read this somewhere too! So if I have gastritis, should I still drink lemon water because I'm curious as to whether it would irritate my stomach before it metabolizes?
A trick to keep your bananas fresh longer - tear them apart and put saran wrap on the tips. the reason they go bad is because gases (i forget which) are released through the stems, which makes them go brown. I have been doing this for awhile myself now, and it really works:) if you google "how to keep bananas fresh" I'm sure you'll find some more detailed evidence if you choose to do so
Be careful with things acidic like lemon water first thing in the morning !! With nothing else in your tummy it can harm the lining of your stomach ❤️❤️
Never had a problem with lemon juice.
Sonia Marie Alarcon The taste is acid but it’s basic for your stomach. Please do some research, you will see how it’s amazing. I hope you will give it a try.
you should have your own show on t.v. this is so calming and looks amazing!!
Am I the only one who likes non soft bananas lol
bananas that aren't ripe or soft can mess up your tum!
+QueenB I love them ^^ but they are really waste of money if theyre not ripe and you eat them :/
Kate Celine why is it a waste of money?
+QueenB They are ripe and have the most nutrient value when soft with brown spots.
+ElleOhElleOhElle I love the brown spots
It is my first time in your channel and I just loved it! I became really vegetarian three months ago and I am trying to become vegan! I live in Brazil and I am in love with your recipes and channel. Keep posting!
Why do you heat your water if you just wait for it to return to room temperature??
To absorb better the lemon juice
Thank you for your devoted time of posting this video. It inspires me to eat well and healthily. You are kindly awesome.
What do you spend on groceries per week? Must be a small fortune.........
+Eileen LeValley She probably does not spend a DIME on meds and doc bills! ;) Buying in bulk gets you discounts, eating seasonaly ensures cheapest and highest quality available, fresh produce is always cheaper than packaged goods, plants are much cheaper than meat/dairy/animal products! It's less expensive than you think! :)
+Eileen LeValley most spend about 20 from what ive seen lol which is good considering i spend well over a hundred buying meat products ;o
+SPACEMONKEY288 Me too ! meat is so expensive! I've always wanted to go vegan, because I don't wear anything from animals, and I use vegan beauty products, but I'm on the verge to anemia and the doctor says nuts won't cut it *sigh*
Captain Cici you just gotta look into what your body needs and look up different fruits veggies nuts or wheat, the plant kingdom gives you everything your body wants and needs. or just look up vegan recipes lol ive made and tryed a couple there actually really good, leave me feeling happier and more energized to. not sure if others feel the same but i feel good after a healthy meal lol
Captain Cici Taking nutrition advice from a Doc is a very bad idea as most aren't trained more than a handful of hours in that particular field... A plant based lifestyle is IDEAL for many deficient diet issues! :) We should all be eating at least a pound of greens a day!? Are you?! Pairing those greens with fresh vitamin C rich foods ensures you absorb as much as your body can... Whole food iron supps FOR A TIME/AS A CRUTCH as you get your levels back up is also a good idea! Get advice from a naturopath or a holistic nutritionist. Docs know a lot, but nutrition wise, they shouldn't be your first stop! Vx #GoVegan #ItsTime ;)
I love how you used lemon and lavender with your chamomile tea. Definitely trying that tonight :)
Thank you! but you've made me hungry watching this now! lol You must try organic white wine vinegar or better still plain white vinegar! with lemon juice & extra virgin olive oil as a salad dressing too. It would make even plain lettuce taste delicious & so moreish! Have just subscribed to your channel
apple cider vinegar too
yes, i love cider vinegar too! lol :-)
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation ☺️
no problem. my friend is a chef. he turned me onto it :-)
I didn't know this was for weight loss. I do it because it's wrong to eat other living beings
Thank you for this, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am newer coming back to eating this way and it is so nice to have all your yummy recipes
Are there any vegan fitness channels for men? (other than vegan gains). I want to become vegan, and I'm currently learning and would like a channel that I can relate too. There's so many channels with girly vibes/recipes. I'm interested in a vegan channel related to budget recipes (since i'm in college) Thanks!
Powsimian, potato strong, drewlikesrice, lee gaines, Tim shieff, bananiac, minimal pro, vegan health fitness, simply vegan, plant based athlete, Jason pizzino, theglucosenetwork... And way more hahah
Sara Hinano Thanks a bunch!
+Hereford Johnson CamandNina are a couple and I absolutely love their channel! They follow a high carb vegan diet so it's definitely worth checking out :)
@john venus
+Sara Hinano powwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Yes please! I've been trying to switch to a plant based diet for about a year and a half. I mainly just eat veg but I also eat eggs and chicken. I wanna cut out all animal products both for health and moral reasons but I really need advice and recipes
That's so much food man. This is a very expensive day.
ikr
YehetGirl I spend about 200 bucks every 2 weeks as a vegan and I still can't eat like this much. Maybe I am doing something wrong?
buy beans lental chickpeas more beans black beans kidney beans butter beans mix beans they cheap as but you mmay have gas if you eat to much
+Rapping Adam local farmers markets are a great way to score cheap fruits and veggies. I'm able to pick up a pound of blueberries for about a $1.25.
Cye Knox I don't wanna eat only beans
I actually didn’t think ‘you eat a lot’ I was just thinking that’s a lot of veg without much else. I would be so hungry!
*eats mcdonalds fries during vid *
I can't wait to finish my invisalign treatment so that I can snack again... I miss it sooo much, all I can do is binge eat to meet my time requirement for the day. I'm excited to try your recipes, especially those beautiful green soups and dips.
Hi! I was wondering how I should get my B12 vitamins if I'm going vegan....I have heard that it's almost only in animal based products. Does anyone know what I can eat instead?
+Hayley Eve well okay...but thank you very much :)
you can eat Millet instead of rice...it is high in B12
For the basil dressing, I invite you to substitute the almonds with pine nuts. Delicious!
Wow i am 13 and vegan but these are so hard to make !
Look for simpler recipes but with many nutrients and dont forget your raw fruits and veggies and also eat when your hungry an dlisten to your body✌🏻️
Of course! Food for vegan retards is always hard to make!
+Mexican Swag no.
+Mexican Swag ???
Same! It's hard for me because none of my family is vegan, and they don't really understand, or get why I became vegan
I'm currently vegetarian and I'm working my way towards being vegan very soon. The only meal that appealed to me was the zucchini soup but I'll still give the rest a go. I look forward to giving these recipes and the other recipes on your channel a shot. Cheers.
WHERE WAS THE FOOD IN THIS VIDEO? I JUST SAW A LOAD OF FAFFING WITH GREEN
Lmao
XD
This is awesome!!! Love your videos!!keep up the great job!! You deserve more likes!!❤️
Um you must of been in the kitchen all day! Haha but looks so yummy!
these youtubers make everything look perfect
Doesn't juicing like get rid of all the good nutrients that fruits and veggies gives you
Nope, a good juicer will only remove the fiber leaving a nutritious juice. However, some studies show that fiber optimizes nutrient absorption, maybe that's what you're thinking about
Kaila Lee Gibbons oh okay thanks for the knowledge
Yes. Smoothies are best. :) God Bless you all, he loves you all very, very much sweet people.:) ❤️
Hello Beautiful Olga! I'm a little late on this one; just watched! But you mentionned wanting options for Vegan Multis so here I am! I loooOOOooove Garden of Life products: raw D3, B12, Raw Meal in Vanilla Chai! Yummm-my! I take their Raw Prenatal Whole Food Multi and love it (I'm not pregnant or trying to be, I am of childbearing age though.) Suggested use is 3 caps a day, but one is fine for me as I use it more as a top up than for therapeutic benefits. High integrity, high quality, organic, non GMO, 100% renewable energy, glass bottle... Their products are flawless to me! And nope, nobody's paying me to say that! ;) Hope it helps! Love your sweet videos, you're a joy to watch! Vx
Moringa is the best supplement for b12
I tried some of the recipes in this video. They were really good. Thanks for sharing. Definitely make more of these videos.
Amazing video!!! But....how can you eat SOOO MUCH girl??? Hahahah I was a little shocked xD
lilserbogirl4eva i dont think that was a lot of food compare to freelee the banana girl and also they were low in calories therefore needed to eat a huge amount of it
lilserbogirl4eva Are you for real? I was wondering how she could eat so little. I highly doubt she's ingesting anywhere near 2000 kcal a day, and if she's not in a weight loss diet that's a very small amount.
But well, metabolisms. If I ate that I'd probably faint lol But as long as she feels okay...
+lilserbogirl4eva Seriously? Haha.. I thought it wasn't that much. When she said something like how we're thinking about how much she eats.. all she had was like liquids?
Great ideas! Love the lavender in the tea, makes me regret not buying a plant earlier this year!
lemon juice is highly acidic... not alkaline. lemons have pH of 2-3.. water has a pH of 7.4 mix them together you will get a lemon water solution of 5-6pH.
Citruses are acidic but they contain vitamins that help combat heartburn. I know that's true with oranges at least
Frankenscuzz 2:29 she clearly writes high alkaline suggesting it has a pH of above 7.8. Additionally, it just looks like she on a liquid diet, with loads of supplements. Dont think this is "healthy" at all, especially not if you have a physical job. Maybe this diet will give a blogger the energy they need.
Hahaha great comment.
work out at 10:30? I guess this might also be a good diet for someone with no job and lots of time?
Lemon is alkaline forming food. There is a difference between alkaline and alkaline forming food.Alkaline food do not have to be alkaline to start with but their effect on the body is what counts!
We tried your Mexican pilaf and zucchini hummus recipes. They were an instant hit! And I like the zucchini hummus much better than the traditional one with chickpeas. Thank you!! 🙂🙌🏼
2:30 says lemon water is highly alkaline. That is incorrect. Lemons are acidic, not alkaline.
I'm not arguing it's not healthy for you, but simple litmus paper would tell you that's just a factual mistake.
No. pH become stuffed up in the stomach. I don't know how,you can search it up, but she is true.
+Troye Sivan I'm sorry I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. The stomach is naturally full of acid, and lemons are acidic. Nothing about that combination will turn anything alkaline.
+Marialla rather it is acidic but alkalizing in its effect on the body.
Thabo M How is this demonstrated? What is measured as first being more acidic, then after drinking lemon water found to be less acidic?
Lemons are acidic but inside the body when they have been fully metabolized and their minerals are dissociated in the bloodstream, their effect is alkalizing and therefore raises the pH of body tissue.
Just google it - there is a lot of good information on this.
Love this video and yes I would love to see more of what you eat, I have been wanting to change my diet up to more raw plant based and what I have seen here is absolutely inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing. I am new to your channel so I will look you up and sign up for your newsletter.
How can you eat that much in one day?!
Because if you eat small portions, then you'll start craving more food preferably the unhealthy junky foods. So it's important you stock up frequently.
It's all plants
it's because your stomach digest plants very faster than meat
I'd rather eat all that healthy plant food than stuff myself once with meat. You eat more and have more benefits
so true^
You have such a sweet voice, I could listen to you talk all day!
That much amount of liquid in the morning i wonder how many times do you have to run the toilet!
And you don't eat warm food at all?
I was about to comment that !
I have school and I can't be going to the bathroom all day long
raman bhandary pfft lol i drink more liquid than that in the morning to stay hydrated 👍
it is okay to make a lot of vegetables juice and keep the surplus juice for drink it in another day
Hi I'm 10 I want from a meat eater to a vegan in bean a vegan for 2 days and I love it!
i am new to your channel. I have bpd and have quite recently discovered that all sugary or processed foods make some of my symptoms like stress, anxiety, anger, depression and lathargy worse so i am slowly going vegan as already i am noticing a positive difference after only 2weeks on a plant based diet. Im so glad i stumbled upon your channel to find you suffer from some of the same problems, after struggling to find different new recipes to try out here you are -cant wait to try them. keep up the great work x👍👏👏 Sarah (UK)
That's amazing! Best of luck 😙
EVERYONE ELSE: Omg that looks so good, how healthy!
ME: She must pee A LOT after that breakfast
I just discovered your channel. I have watched about 3 videos so far. I'm really enjoying your channel!
You waste fiber by juicing! Make a smoothie instead
+Meredith Olin Yeah, it made me sad seeing all the fiber slough out of the juicer just to be discarded. That's part of the reason those foods are desirable in the first place!
I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I love this lifestyle. Whenever I juice I give the leftovers to my chickens and it creates some good eggs!
There are beautiful things in life that are not expensive! Not everything that looks great costs a lot of money
That's not true at all.
isnt the fiber good for regularity? i mean i would never throw that fiber away, i just think people want things to be too smooth and they are picky not realizing they are throwing away the good stuff
Hey I'm from Toronto too! You probably already know these places but in case you don't here are just some restaurants that are mostly or all vegan; lola's kitchen, Fresh, Urban Herbivore, Rawlicious (My favourite) One Love and there are just so many more throughout the city
I really hate when people say eating healthy is expensive. I bought all healthy foods, no meat, mostly veggies yesterday & it was only $40! & the groceries will last me almost 2 weeks. People can't admit that they're just lazy & don't want to do the research.
Still, it depends on where they live. In some countries, the vegetables are really expensive.
Come to Switzerland and try to buy veggies or fruits. Just because it's not that expensive in your area doesn't mean it's the same everywhere.
I'm suffering from candida and it's so scary. I'm now making the transition into a healthy diet. I hate vegetables but I'm optimistic and determined. Going to watch your videos and get this rolling. ❤️
I have been thinking of going vegan because all those factory farm videos of chickens in discussing caged and cows with there throats slit. But I feel like I would never be able to eat most sandwiches. I don't know because I really hate vegetables:p
+Spring Howell eat black beans burgers, go to a vegan restaurant and you will understand any sandwich can be vegetarian and taste great.
I used to hate vegetables when I wasn't a vegetarian! Your taste buds are used to all the trashy food you eat and you don't get the real great flavor or veggies! I used to hate mushrooms before being a veg now I love them so much, your taste buds change once you give them better food :)
+Spring Howell look up dr mcdougall! fill up on starches and beans and lentils and potatoes and stuff like that...doesnt ever hurt to add in some greens but yeah im not huge on vegetables myself haha thhink its a bad misconception that vegans or vegetarians are just like obsessed with vegetables haha. if you dont care about the health overly vegetable aspect but want to be vegan for the animals and the planet there are tons of meat and cheese substitutes that im obsessed with!! the sliced turkey and sausages can taste so realistic! look up the brands field roast, gardein, tofurkey, daiya :D
+Adriana R it's true, i used to despise tomatoes and mushrooms but when i became i vegan i now eat them like apples and everyone gawks at me. ;)
You can go the source here. www.vegetarianthanksgiving.org/. The source in only for vegetarian and going vegetarian
Glad to be part of the green team! I enjoyed your vlog!
Healthy living is darn expensive o.o
True. I wish I could. I suffer from everything she does but I have to work just to survive.
I just discovered your channel! Can't wait to watch old and newer videos!
this is why I can never go vegan! I mean im. obsessed with these videos and I love the life style and I dream to be one one day but I cant eat so little! im not overwieght but I neeeeddd carbs especially in the morning! I can never be satisfied with veggies only!! it would just make me sick!
Well then make the switch slowly. See if there's any replacements to milk or meat that you enjoy and then incorporate it. You can still enjoy pasta, chocolate, oats, burgers, pizza, cashew-based cheese and other filling food as a vegan. Just see what you like and take time with it!
+veryfancydoily yes im going to try that! My problem was that I thought vegan meant raw till 4 only. ive done my research and they are completely different. Thank you for your comment
haha yeah I would struggle on raw till 4 :P good luck :)
you dont have to eat just veggies though, whats wrong with eating rice and pasta and potatoes and all the yummy starches? you don't really meat to get your carbs girl
wow, i am amazed at how much effort u put into your diet. Good for u.
No way wasting so much time in the morning for breakfast... nevertheless i would cut a finger... just grab cereal and vegan milk...
I love your videos girl. I like the pitcher where you hit the water and i also liked the glasses you served your tea. thanks
I GOT TIRED JUST BY WATCHING IT..!! ..IT SEEMS AS A FULL TIME JOB.. WHO DOES SPENT SO MUCH TIME..THE WHOLE DAY PREPARING 1 MILLION DIFFERENT DISHES..?????..
If you are just going to complain about it, leave the channel.
Most people that cook at home spend even more time cooking than she did. What are you comparing it to? A fast food diet? Or processed food diet?
Madi Paul I'm guessing that English is their second language so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they are just confused how someone could do all of that in addition to doing a full time job. I also wondered that. Granted, I'm slow at cooking and don't have a dishwasher so perhaps that explains it.
+Ever curious: Michelle my parents always had 2 jobs when I was growing up, they always found time to cook at home. It's all about priorities. Not to mention it was too expensive to always go out to eat or buy processed food.
+jack daniels Totally agree. As a research student, I don't have the money and time to do this.
That was beautiful, honestly. I go to college so that I can afford nice homemade meals for my family in the future like this and time to make them. Amazing !
