Everyday I tell myself I feel like I won the lottery! I am so blessed that I am open to a plant based lifestyle. There Was a time when I didn't think I could live without animal products. I'm so healthy now and thriving! I wish everyone could have this life! Thank you for your videos Kiki.❤
I feel that same way! ive been vegan since 2009 and feel like im so lucky to have been exposed/guided to this lifestyle... the cool part is, is that this lifestyle opens you up to self improvement in so many other ways its truly a life-changing gift.
Where does your sufficient amount of protein come from? How are you getting at least 100 grams a day to supply proper muscle mass, fuel to repair and build tissue? Every cell in our bodies contains protein, so meeting our protein requirement is essential for proper health.
@@mcampbell4556 Thats a great question.. 100 gr. is actually a very high amount. Everything we eat veggies ect. have protein. even way back in the 70s the American nutrition association determined we really only need 15 grams a day for optimal health... they then doubled it for good measure. There is no such thing as protein deficiency, you get enough cals then you will get enough protein. But, dont take my word for it.. check it out for yourself. have a great day!
I just made cheese sauce and pinto beans yesterday and bought 10 lb of potatoes and steamed some up. Already have rice made and pasta in the cupboard. Plenty of cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic, apples oranges, bananas and frozen fruit and veggies ! I am ready for a great week.
Not sure you might read this but honestly I was crying today because my weight is out of control. So I got on TH-cam to distract myself and your video popped up. I watched you in the past when I want to lose weight pre-pandemic. However, my military friends convinced me to do keto diet, I lost weight but felt sick and always tired. As soon as I stopped I gained it all back and more during the pandemic. I haven’t not been able to lose weight. I got desperate and got lipo. But I’ve gained weight again. But I’m so much like you, and I want my health back. I know eating my veggies just makes sense. I really really want to be successful this time and regain my health and hopefully my weight will regulate afterwards. I just feel like your video was a sign of hope. Thank you and hopefully I can follow up with positive news in a couple months. Love ya girly ❤
Yesterday I was binge eating lots of vegan junk so I didn't think that a healthy breakfast would taste good. I got the cookbook yesterday and I made the berry cereal and is soooo good! I can't wait to try the Persian rice bowl that I made for lunch. Yum!
This is an amazing video. Thank you! In just a few months you have helped me lose 15 pounds already and I'm eating great. My hair looks so healthy. My skin is glowing. I'm working out again. Thank you Kiki!
Can you please do a video of what your kids eat in a day/what they eat for school lunches? Or how you transitioned your children onto a plant based lifestyle, what were the challenges and how they grew to love it etc.
Hi Kiki! I thought i would share an important replacement that i do for your oh-so-yummy cheese sauce. I am allergic to tree nuts so i can't have the cashews. So for the sake of others who also have this problem, i will share what i do. I would hate for anyone to miss out on this sauce because of the nuts. I simply replace the cashews with the same amount of white cannelini beans. It's so good! (And a lot cheaper! One can of beans will give you enough for a double batch. ) Thank you for the recipe!! I just got your book last week and thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Keep on doing what you do... we all appreciate it! 😊
Even Kiki has suggested using cannelini beans as a substitute for the cashews. I have always done this; I’ve never made it with the cashews-probably a creamier, richer sauce but also a bit more fat than using the beans.
Kiki, I received your cookbook on 4-16-23, and it meets and exceeds expectations. You have a beautiful soul, and I want to thank you for all you do for your community.
Prepping is the Magic Answer!!! Thank you,Kiki. I love the emphasis on the Top 3: •Kiki’s Cheese Sauce and Ranch •Stocking the freezer with Vegetables and Fruits •Prepping Proteins and Starches@the week I especially appreciate the added priority of •making a batch of soup for the week!
I am returning to being plant based ….Tired of being obese . My Dad just had 4 vessel heart bypass surgery because of clogged arteries. I don’t want to go down that path. I am ordering your book today also.❤
I think my main problem is finding the right balance of fresh vs. frozen. I over did the fresh this week, because I was running to the store a lot last week. 🤷🏻♀️ I am diabetic and my blood sugar has improved greatly! Thank you!
My family and I have been loving your cookbook! My 12 year old son absolutely loved the bok choy ramen soup! I’ve already made so many recipes from your new cookbook and I can’t wait to make more. Thanks for this video! I know you’ve made this kind of video many times in your you tube library, but it’s always nice to hear it again especially because we like to know if you have any new advice or have found new things that work. Love it all!
Thank you Kiki for this really easy to follow meal prep. I am a Mom with ADHD and this really simplified things for me. Planning meals gets really stressful for me.
I have been living a plant based lifestyle for several years but have slipped a bit with dairy and oil after a big injury. Now I am trying to relose 30 lbs and bought your book and am binging on all your videos! Help me lose these lbs Kiki! Thanks for putting out this healthy love out into the World for us all!
RANCH! CHEESE SAUCE! Thank you! Game changers for my husband and I when we transitioned to WFPB last summer. You're such a beautiful soul. Thank you for being YOU! Much love! :)
My daughter and my best friend have already bought your book . They love it and are really pressuring me to buy it too. It’s been a long time since I felt peer pressure!😀 Great job, Kiki. It’s very exciting to see you succeed.
I've been vegetarian for years but you actually make plant based look easy and yummy. I think I'm going to full send it this week. Just bought your book. 😊
This morning I made the Caesar dressing and just now had it on my salad-so good!! Also on my plate was leftovers of the broccoli/rice bake-again-yum!! 😋 I find it ironic that you and I have about 95% of the same ingredients in our household! 👍🏻👍🏻That definitely sealed the deal for me to buy your cookbook!! No regrets! ☺️
You are a pleasure to watch...I ordered your cookbook because your food is great! Sometimes the plant-based community feels prideful but you feel like a non-judgmental, caring, kind friend and mentor. You inspire the confidence that everyone can succeed at weightloss and good health. Thanks for all your hard work and wonderful videos! 😊
Thank you for this video, this gives me some ideas about meal prep. I always think of meal prep as preparing the whole 'kit n kaboodle' but this helps me see it's not really that all the time. I am wanting to get started on whole foods plant based eating, glad I found your channel. Have a wonderful day!!!
Insta pot and vita mix are my main go twos in my kitchen. That vitamix is worth the money hands down for this lifestyle. Your videos are always fun. Love the cheese sauce. ❤ I don't even cut up the potatoe or carrot I just take one from the insta pot lol
It’s great to see other people who are getting healthy and motivating others too. I’ve lost weight twice after having kids and now I’m on the journey again after my 3rd baby. This time around I made my own healthy lifestyle journals/planners. I’m using them and sell them too. If those can help at least 1 person to change their life then I’ll be happier.
Thank you, Kiki, so glad you are making videos! I think you also prep a couple of meals each week, would love to see which ones you do. I just need ideas!
I’m just coming back to start my vegan journey again. I’m so grateful for your videos, cookbooks and advice on following this clean lifestyle. Love you Kiki thank you so much. Just bought your new cookbook, can’t want to go through it and cook. Thanks again❤🎉😊
I finally made your cheese sauce after seeing in your new book that I can use white beans instead of nuts (allergies). Thank you for suggesting substitutes for nut allergies. Can’t wait to put it on broccoli tonight. Also I enjoyed your video with Rip. He was intrigued by your delicious recipes. You’re amazing! 😊
I bought this book about 6 weeks ago. I implemented your 50/50 plate right away. Your introduction in the cookbook explains the process so well. You are the first person to admit a person might feel hungry often when starting out eating this but eventually your body will get used to the new way of eating. This warning helped me persevere through my first few days. I have made at least a dozen recipes and they all taste great and I have lost 5 lbs. Thank you for all you do. I also pre ordered your new cookbook.
I love your tips! They're so helpful in showing us how to stay on track and make healthy choices. Because it's so true what you said that we tend to make unhealthy choices when there's nothing prepped and ready to eat. 😍
I love how simple this is. Tried the cheese sauce and I am addicted. This video is such an inspiration for me to be prepared for the week. Thank you Kiki!!!
I did purchase your book and have looked at a couple of recipes, but am overwhelmed. I had no idea how to start, so this video was very helpful. I hope that you go through the book and prep each meal, so that it easier for those that purchased your book to follow along. Thank you for being a change-maker in the world!!
You were sooo enthusiastic about your new book that I had to buy it and it arrived today!!!! I’m just as excited! You are so lovely and talented. I am grateful to also be plant- based for over a year now. Lost 30 lbs. and feel amazing! TY!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
This is great information. Something needed for beginners like me. Although I've been at this for years. I find you have to devote the 'time'. And it's worth it. I just came across your page. Thank you for posting 😊
Thank you! Could you show some of the simple meals you make for the week using the prepped food? Would be helpful for my family. I will reheat the steamed potatoes, but some in my crew complain they are gummy and only eat them cooked to crisp on a fry pan lol. I get stuck on the meal plans and this would be easier to pull something together - I need it minimal and fast woth young kids:)
SO helpful! I just got your cookbook a week or so ago and did no food prep. So although I’ve done ok this week, I definitely can see myself falling off the wagon if I continue this way. The sample menu in your cookbook overwhelmed me and although you say this is just a sample and you can do something more simple, I just couldn’t phathom how or where to start! Until this video. So THANK YOU!
Just watched this vid today, and I went and purchased your book. Your meal photos are beautiful. Congrats on making this process easy to start by keeping things very simple. Your recipes do not require a lot of gourmet type of prepping, and speaking of prepping, your recommendations will make it easy too. Can’t wait to finally begin and explore more of your vids.
Received your cookbook, I pre- ordered, love it, thank you for putting out such a excellent quality book..the whole book, was top notch from the recipes to instructions and the beautiful photographs ❤.. 🥳🥳🥳 I recommend to everyone to order this Cookbook 👍😊
I am so thankful to have found this video today, and just ordered 2 of your books. I've been eating keto/ketovore and have almost no energy. I started plant-based 2 days ago and am feeling better already (and am "regular" again). Thank you for such great information, and easy recipes.
Just got the book, it’s definitely simple and easy wish is great. For me the hardest part is on the weekends, social life doesn’t really go with this lifestyle, but need to be strong and keep this as a journey.
I'm so glad I revisted this video! I've been feeling so discouraged overwhelmed and burnt out because it was getting to be too much to keep on top of all the chopping and cooking DAILY! Thank you for this! I feel so much better and back to feeling like this lifestyle is manageable for the average busy woman/family. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Thank you for posting this video! every time I try to do vegan/vegetarian it gets overwhelming because I neglect prepping my startches! great tip. It makes transitioning to plant based easy.
Doing this today!! Just started vegan 2 weeks ago. I’ve done vegetarian before and went back to meat and dairy. Actually trying to stick with it this time. Just made your cheese sauce and tried it and it is delicious! I may put it on everything now!!
I’m using this as a guide to create a grocery list! The last 6 months or so I have been the heaviest I’ve been in my life. I haven’t been working out or eating right so I know it’s not healthy weight. I’m excited to make your sauces today and try your method of meal prep. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, I always come back to your meal prep videos (and all your others). To add the extra credit curry, soup, or chili and double and freeze when you do.😀
Hi! I just ordered your new cookbook and bought Plantifully Lean. Boy do I love your book! I made your roasted chickpeas and Thai Peanut Sauce. Loved both!!! Thank you so much for your videos and encouragement tool
I've watched your channel from the very beginning and just ordered your book, I'm happy to be able to support such an amazingly wonderful person/ creator!
This is a great beginning video! I’m definitely going to stock up and make that delicious cheese sauce and ranch dressing. Thank you and God bless ❤definitely subscribing and will get your cookbook too
A lot of great ideas. I ordered your book today from Amazon. Will get it tomorrow. Making the sauces ahead is a great idea. I love broccoli and eat it raw the cheese sauce would be great on this also cauliflower.
Starting my journey of losing a few pounds for my health and I got the chance to look at your website already. So many recipes to choose from and they all look so good, it’s gonna be hard which to choose once I get further into my new diet 😂
New here to the WFPB way of eating and I love your channel such a great example for all of us. I can't wait to get your cookbook. I love simple dishes because I know if its to complex I will not stick with it especially with such a transition. Thank you ❤❤
Kiki, this is the best food prep video ever! Thanks for sharing with us. I just bought your book, Plantifully Lean, before our vacation, read it in the car, now headed home and ready to start. Again, thanks so much!
This was the most helpful video on meal prep Ive ever watched. I was killing myself before trying to prep, spending hours doing so…I’m totally doing this today!
Thank you so much for all your wisdom, I’ve known forever that a WFPBNO diet was the best for health, but I never knew quit how to accomplish it, a lot of recipes were just too complicated and I have a hard time with 2 toddlers to be spending lots of time in the kitchen making something complicated or trying a complicated recipe just for it to turn out tasting nasty! During the pandemic/lock downs I even paid for an online WFPBNO cooking class, but got even more discouraged with the majority of the ingredients being things I had no clue what they were, it was definitely fancy for more professional chefs… so I got discouraged, but your recipes that I’ve tried so far are yummy and they are very basic with the ingredients, so I feel like I can actually do this! Thank you!!!
Thank you, I just started day three…I am doing a bit of a small cleanse first super clean and simple. I got a couple mason jars online and stocked my fridge. We’re going to have to buy another fridge because I currently live tiny and only have an under counter fridge. So we just found one at costco (frigidare) that’s about 4.5 cubic feet. I’m really grateful for this video I do need some extra flavor to my future meals. ❤☺️
The only other thing I would say is a must staple is canned or frozen corn. Lentils, hummus and tahini, onions, garlic, oats and I've been eating millet instead of rice often. I've tried various whole grains and I just really like millet. My father loves mushrooms and they are anti cancer must, so include your family's unique favorites. For kids, natural peanut butter or almond butter. Any favorite plant milk for those smoothies. Chia and ground flax seeds always on hand.
Thank you for posting this information how to start a healthy eating change of life. I think this will help me out a lot. I have problems with high carbs. Saved your video on plate portion also. And am gonna get your book too
I started prepping potatoes and rice when I started watching your channel. It 100% cuts down on time! I'm eating healthier because of it. The air fryer really helps too. We eat a lot of oil free air fries now. I'm working on getting my kid to like healthier stuff too. He's 3 and he hasn't had a single cold. I'm told that he will have more when he starts school, but I'm hoping to help him build a healthy immune system with all of the plant foods. Thanks for your video. You truly do inspire me to eat better. :)
I just got the new PL cookbook spiral bound! What a treasure! I have your other two as well. I am so grateful for all your tireless information. Love the recipes!
Kiki, your videos are always awesome. I have all your cookbooks. I’m a big fan. My family is also becoming a fan of all these wonderful recipes. I’m ready to move to the part where you say “my kids snack on fruit and veggies”. How and what? Can you make a “what my kids eat in a week” video?
I just got your book for Mother’s Day. I am so excited! Love, love your recipes! I am just starting my journey! I also need to lose 70 pounds. Thank you so much for all you do help others!
Bought your book and absolutely LOVE it. I also bought The Starch Solution. I am trying to make the switch at 51 years old and become the healthiest version of me. You have made a huge difference in my life 💕
I have been doing meal prep on Sundays. But your ideas in this video will help me take it to a new level. And I just ordered your new book on Amazon. Should be arriving tomorrow, can't wait. Thank you for all your work on these videos. Very much appreciated.
down 17kgs on Whole food plant base diet. 31kgs to go. I can do this. BUT it was a lifestyle change for me to be healthy again which I am planning to keep for the rest of my life. Going in for bloodwork early next month and hope to see changes as well
Everyday I tell myself I feel like I won the lottery! I am so blessed that I am open to a plant based lifestyle. There Was a time when I didn't think I could live without animal products. I'm so healthy now and thriving! I wish everyone could have this life! Thank you for your videos Kiki.❤
I feel that same way! ive been vegan since 2009 and feel like im so lucky to have been exposed/guided to this lifestyle... the cool part is, is that this lifestyle opens you up to self improvement in so many other ways its truly a life-changing gift.
We’re all so blessed to have found this! ❤

Yes! The sight of raw meat gags me now. And I hate Egg smell. 🤢
I just made cheese sauce and pinto beans yesterday and bought 10 lb of potatoes and steamed some up. Already have rice made and pasta in the cupboard. Plenty of cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic, apples oranges, bananas and frozen fruit and veggies ! I am ready for a great week.
How long do you keep the cheese sauce in the fridge ??
@@booboobidou2100 I haven't made enough to last for more than 3 days. I've heard up to 5 but as I said I only make a small batch
@plantifulkiki what potatoes do you use, eastern potatoes? I used russet potatoes for the cheese sauce and it didn't look like yours.
@@angie21290in another video she said she almost always uses Yukon Gold potatoes.
@@meshameemee thank you!

You found this video for a reason! You can do this! Wishing you vibrant health on the plant-based lifestyle
@@AnnieKopf you’re so amazing and kind. Thank you 🙏 and day two has been pretty successful 😊
Keto doesn't work for everyone! Kiki ate low carb too for awhile before going plant based, so you are not alone!
Yesterday I was binge eating lots of vegan junk so I didn't think that a healthy breakfast would taste good. I got the cookbook yesterday and I made the berry cereal and is soooo good! I can't wait to try the Persian rice bowl that I made for lunch. Yum!
Follow her diet! I eat this way and I’ve lost 5-6kgs following this way of eating. A also do the 50/50 plate
This is an amazing video. Thank you! In just a few months you have helped me lose 15 pounds already and I'm eating great. My hair looks so healthy. My skin is glowing. I'm working out again. Thank you Kiki!
Awww this made me so happy to read!! I’m so happy for you!!!
Yay!!🎉
That fridge was a plant-based dream! 🙌
Can you please do a video of what your kids eat in a day/what they eat for school lunches? Or how you transitioned your children onto a plant based lifestyle, what were the challenges and how they grew to love it etc.

I can't have potatoes due to potassium, what's a good substitute for that for the cheese sauce?
What a great idea! I’ll do that just to save money ❤
Thank you for sharing that I was just about to post that question.
@@angiebrown6252 What about cauliflower?

Just got the book, it’s definitely simple and easy wish is great. For me the hardest part is on the weekends, social life doesn’t really go with this lifestyle, but need to be strong and keep this as a journey.
I'm so glad I revisted this video! I've been feeling so discouraged overwhelmed and burnt out because it was getting to be too much to keep on top of all the chopping and cooking DAILY! Thank you for this! I feel so much better and back to feeling like this lifestyle is manageable for the average busy woman/family. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
excellent video Kiki as always !! ❤
Quite possibly one of the most important health books out there. Just love you, Kiki!
Just ordered!! So excited!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for posting this video! every time I try to do vegan/vegetarian it gets overwhelming because I neglect prepping my startches! great tip. It makes transitioning to plant based easy.
Your such a great inspiration and teacher Kiki. I love the cookbook and your channel. Your a great cook.
Doing this today!! Just started vegan 2 weeks ago. I’ve done vegetarian before and went back to meat and dairy. Actually trying to stick with it this time. Just made your cheese sauce and tried it and it is delicious! I may put it on everything now!!
I’m using this as a guide to create a grocery list! The last 6 months or so I have been the heaviest I’ve been in my life. I haven’t been working out or eating right so I know it’s not healthy weight.
I’m excited to make your sauces today and try your method of meal prep. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, I always come back to your meal prep videos (and all your others). To add the extra credit curry, soup, or chili and double and freeze when you do.😀
i want to highly recommend Dr OBALAR for curing me of genital warts with his natural herbs.
Hi!
I just ordered your new cookbook and bought Plantifully Lean. Boy do I love your book! I made your roasted chickpeas and Thai Peanut Sauce. Loved both!!! Thank you so much for your videos and encouragement tool
I've watched your channel from the very beginning and just ordered your book, I'm happy to be able to support such an amazingly wonderful person/ creator!

A lot of great ideas. I ordered your book today from Amazon. Will get it tomorrow. Making the sauces ahead is a great idea. I love broccoli and eat it raw the cheese sauce would be great on this also cauliflower.
Starting my journey of losing a few pounds for my health and I got the chance to look at your website already. So many recipes to choose from and they all look so good, it’s gonna be hard which to choose once I get further into my new diet 😂
New here to the WFPB way of eating and I love your channel such a great example for all of us. I can't wait to get your cookbook. I love simple dishes because I know if its to complex I will not stick with it especially with such a transition. Thank you ❤❤
Kiki, this is the best food prep video ever! Thanks for sharing with us. I just bought your book, Plantifully Lean, before our vacation, read it in the car, now headed home and ready to start. Again, thanks so much!
This was the most helpful video on meal prep Ive ever watched. I was killing myself before trying to prep, spending hours doing so…I’m totally doing this today!
Thank you so much for helping us to have a good week! I can’t wait to get your new book. Blessings to you and your sweet family!
Thank you so much for all your wisdom, I’ve known forever that a WFPBNO diet was the best for health, but I never knew quit how to accomplish it, a lot of recipes were just too complicated and I have a hard time with 2 toddlers to be spending lots of time in the kitchen making something complicated or trying a complicated recipe just for it to turn out tasting nasty! During the pandemic/lock downs I even paid for an online WFPBNO cooking class, but got even more discouraged with the majority of the ingredients being things I had no clue what they were, it was definitely fancy for more professional chefs… so I got discouraged, but your recipes that I’ve tried so far are yummy and they are very basic with the ingredients, so I feel like I can actually do this! Thank you!!!
Thank you, I just started day three…I am doing a bit of a small cleanse first super clean and simple. I got a couple mason jars online and stocked my fridge. We’re going to have to buy another fridge because I currently live tiny and only have an under counter fridge. So we just found one at costco (frigidare) that’s about 4.5 cubic feet. I’m really grateful for this video I do need some extra flavor to my future meals. ❤☺️
This was super helpful. Thank you for making it simple and clear.
I just got your cookbook from Amazon! Can’t wait to add new dishes to the favs I’ve learned from your channel.
The only other thing I would say is a must staple is canned or frozen corn.
Lentils, hummus and tahini, onions, garlic, oats and I've been eating millet instead of rice often. I've tried various whole grains and I just really like millet. My father loves mushrooms and they are anti cancer must, so include your family's unique favorites. For kids, natural peanut butter or almond butter. Any favorite plant milk for those smoothies. Chia and ground flax seeds always on hand.

Thank you for posting this information how to start a healthy eating change of life. I think this will help me out a lot. I have problems with high carbs. Saved your video on plate portion also. And am gonna get your book too
I started prepping potatoes and rice when I started watching your channel. It 100% cuts down on time! I'm eating healthier because of it. The air fryer really helps too. We eat a lot of oil free air fries now. I'm working on getting my kid to like healthier stuff too. He's 3 and he hasn't had a single cold. I'm told that he will have more when he starts school, but I'm hoping to help him build a healthy immune system with all of the plant foods. Thanks for your video. You truly do inspire me to eat better. :)
Thank you! I just ordered your book. I can’t wait until it comes!
Absolutely perfect help video! Easy peasy!
Great Info for sure, time to order your Book and get started.
I bought your book and I LOVE IT!!! You are a blessing from God! Please keep making videos for us Newbies ! Thank u
So helpful!! Thanks 👍😊

Thank you, Kiki~you are literally saving people's lives! You are so sweet and generous to share all of this vital information. God bless you!!
Thank you for your channel - I got lazy and out of ideas and found this. Inspired again!!
Great video!!! I have 70 lbs to lose and I have all your cookbooks...Let's go! Thank you!
@PlantifulKiki is your southwestern ranch in your new cookbook?? I went to make it the other day and saw it was taken down from your website!!
I just got the new PL cookbook spiral bound! What a treasure! I have your other two as well. I am so grateful for all your tireless information. Love the recipes!
Kiki, your videos are always awesome. I have all your cookbooks. I’m a big fan. My family is also becoming a fan of all these wonderful recipes. I’m ready to move to the part where you say “my kids snack on fruit and veggies”. How and what? Can you make a “what my kids eat in a week” video?
I just got your book for Mother’s Day. I am so excited! Love, love your recipes! I am just starting my journey! I also need to lose 70 pounds. Thank you so much for all you do help others!
Bought your book and absolutely LOVE it. I also bought The Starch Solution. I am trying to make the switch at 51 years old and become the healthiest version of me. You have made a huge difference in my life 💕
Loved the video. Congratulations on your book and your trip to New York! I am so excited to see all your hard work paying off for you❤
I have been doing meal prep on Sundays. But your ideas in this video will help me take it to a new level. And I just ordered your new book on Amazon. Should be arriving tomorrow, can't wait. Thank you for all your work on these videos. Very much appreciated.
Just what I was thinking how to make it simple and stress free . Thank you
I am patiently waiting for my copy of your book. I started plant-based full-time, and in about 4 days, I dropped 3 lbs...
down 17kgs on Whole food plant base diet. 31kgs to go. I can do this. BUT it was a lifestyle change for me to be healthy again which I am planning to keep for the rest of my life. Going in for bloodwork early next month and hope to see changes as well
Thanks for the meal prep ideas! Awesome video!
Congratulations on your book deal! Thank you for this great reminder. I’ve been WFPBNO for 3.5 years now but I always need reminders.
