I really don't feel like veganism lacks variety at all. There are so many different plant based food. I think other diets are much more limiting. But others might disagree. Also I've been vegan for 7 years and the only thing I supplement regularly is B12. I have considered switching to a multivitamin that also contains B12, but over all the years I've been vegan I've never had a problem. That's just been my personal experience though.
There are so many healthy delicious vegan options. I've been vegan for three years and I can tell you for a fact that there are no limitation on delicious, comforting, healthy plant base recipes.
A wonderful reminder of why I'm a proud former nutrition client of yours - thank you for always providing sound, non-triggering, EFFECTIVE health/diet advice (that I still follow to this day)!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for making the video. I have been struggling about what kind of diet I should do to lose weight and EVERYONE has an opinion on my eating habits. I tried both paleo and vegan (out of pressure) and I didn't feel good on either of those diets. Now I am working on creating my own diet based on recipes that I find on your site and other whole nutrition sites that make me feel good and that I like!! I am going to listen to my own body, because she is the best expert. Thanks again! I always enjoy your information.
Carol V that's the right approach. I always tell people when I teach public workshops that "you are your best nutritionist", meaning, you know your body better than anyone else. Wishing you joyous health!
hi joy, I couldn't agree more with everything you said about labels etc. I'm SO happy that there is at least one sensible person like you on youtube among the health and nutritionists community. I love your videos so much, hugs! :)
I totally agree with you. Also, the fact that you are not a vegan is one of the reasons I love you. It's so hard to find TH-camrs and bloggers into healthy eating and living that are not vegan. And I love your energy and joy! You are such an inspiration!
Totally agree with you Joy. Completely in line with my personal food-losophy. Eat what feels best for you and aligns best with your values. 🙂 So funny when you mentioned the introduction using a diet name rather than their first name. Happened to my mom once--she genuinely thought one of my friends' name was Vegan for a while. 🤣 I can't imagine introducing myself as something like "plant-based, whole food-focused, organic-preferring, local-supporting omnivore." 😜
So true! What diet is best for one person may not be for another. We all need to figure out what works for our own bodies usually through trail and error.
Joy you ended your video by saying ‘I hope you enjoyed this video’..... Well I personally thought it was excellent!!!! As you rightly said it can be VERY confusing listening to all these conflicting ideas and oftentimes fads. I am not at all overweight, in fact I’m very petite, but I have had health issues for decades, and I know it’s because of my very poor digestion. But I have found something that resonates with me, so I’m going to stick with it. Variety truly is the key, and also eating what we know we can absorb and digest. So thank you for your suggestion to eat what makes us thrive and feel good. Keep up the good work hun.
Thank you so much, Joy! I have been enjoying your channel and book! This puts me at ease to eat as healthy as possible and feed my family that way without putting a label on it!
There's definitely ways you can thrive on a vegan diet but there are a lot of things to consider from a nutritional stand point before approaching it to ensure all of your nutritional needs are being met. But as long as you feel good, that's what matters most :)
Love this video! I dropped the "vegan" label this year and haven't felt better. I love eating a plant based diet because that's what makes me THRIVE! I don't need a label to tell me how or what to eat. Thanks for sharing Joy :)
Loved the video! I’ve been trying to “label” myself for years now and it’s freeing to just be able to eat what I want and makes me feel good. Also, love the hair cut on you, super cute! ❤️
I love your videos joy- like I'm so sad I wait for them :) Been here since 2012 thank you for introducing me to kale and almond butter 😍😍😄😄 how much nut butter in one sitting though? I ate half a jar today 🙊🙊😬
Aalia Mahmood thanks for being a subscriber for 5 years!! 😘 A half jar is quite a lot so I would suggest about a tbsp for nut butter. Are you waiting until you're starving to eat? That could be why you're overeating.
Joyous Health haha yup -oops Also my doctor says that I should occasionally eat dairy so I don't develop an intolerance- what do you think of this?thanks X
I started to listen to that same podcast with the Balanced Blondie and had to stop because they began to discuss how she was condemned by vegans for no longer being vegan. But I recall when she wrote that book "Breaking Vegan" the criticism from most vegans came from her blaming her health issues from orthorexia on a vegan diet implying it's an unhealthy diet. That's irresponsible and misleading.
I haven't read her book so I can't speak to that but I am very aware of people being seriously harassed by choosing to eat animal foods again. This is so disappointing because I think we don't always know what someone else is going through and so I condemn this type of behaviour. However, what I did like about this interview on UHP with the balanced blonde was the message that it didn't matter what others were saying because she chose to eat the foods that made her body thrive. In my opinion, as long as you're eating whole foods most of the time with the occasional mindful indulgence then you're doing a great thing for your body! Thanks for your comment!
Wow...I love this video...very informative.... thanx a lot....I used to be vegan but since one year I stopped I was feeling bad I was lacking all kind of vitamins.... I will never do it again
Loved the video! You're absolutely right. I've been tracking what I eat to find out what is and isn't working for me. It's been a great exercise for teaching me to listen to my body and how food effects it. Also Paleo isn't that expensive. The protein per meal should only be 3-8 oz, 2-4 oz per snack the rest is made up of non starchy and some starchy veg with fruit and clean fats. Like any menu if you meal plan, shop sales, and are even part of shopping clubs (Costco, Sam's club) you can save a lot. Thank you for all the great content😁😁
Good job. You failed to mention in this video as you most of your other videos, and that is whichever diet you choose make sure the foods you are choosing are clean, organic whole foods. Thanks. You are awesome.
Thank you for this video so much! it is exactly what I needed to hear, I love eating plant-based, but it is too much pressure for me to put a label on myself because of my eating disorder recovery, I tend to have a restricting mindset which is not the way to go! I'm still struggling with my "relationship" with food, I wish some day I will finally find my very own healthiest diet. sharing positive vibes to you all xo
Hi Julia! You'll get there. I used to be very unsure of what food made me thrive and felt like food was the enemy. I honestly thought I would always be this way. But with some work, healthy relationships, supportive family and friends I was able to come out the other side LOVING food and having it become my passion. So there is hope my friend! Joyous health to you :)
yaaaaiiiii! a dietitian who does not subscribe to a diet religion, lol. Like many have already said, what you say in this video could not be put into better words. It is like a big relieve for me to find a dietitian without bias; covering up the flaws in a diet.
Good video, I agree with your common sense approach to eating. If you are doing paleo, veganism, or keto properly, you are miles ahead of the SAD diet most Americans eat. The 3 groups should emphasize what we have in common- that we care about our health and the environment, and eat a lot of plant based foods, and no processed foods
I love all your videos and information. There are very few natural nutritionists who I agree with. I am looking into becoming a natural nutritionist myself. Where can I start with a great school and where did you get your certification from? Maybe you can share a video with your career journey and where it has taken you today. Thanks so much!
Aw thank you so much! That means so much! I studied at The Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Toronto, but they have campuses all over Canada. I actually wrote a blog post for people interested in going into holistic nutrition. You can read that here: www.joyoushealth.com/27075-blog-considering-a-career-in-holistic-nutrition
Thanks for reminding me what's really important in choosing the way of eating because it seems that I've somehow lost The point of it during my journey to healthy lifestyle!
Aw I'm so happy you enjoyed this video! Don't worry - you are so not alone in this! Society doesn't make it easy for us to trust our bodies and minds for knowing what diet is best for us!
My mom gave me the best health I can hope for by feeding me fresh, local, in season food, all kinds of food in moderation for the first 18, 19 years of my life, until I left home for college. She would agree with all that you said.
Know what I'd really love to see from you? Either a book or video with a plain and simple list of the best healthiest snacks and meals. I get so sick of same old raw veggies etc. and want a huge variety of snacks I can take to work or give my kids in their lunches. Need like a meal plan and a comprehensive list of great snacks./recipes
That's a great idea! I'll definitely keep that in mind. In the meantime, you might be interested in this article! www.joyoushealth.com/22491-blog-healthy-snacks-for-kids
I agree! Thank you for this encouragement! I have a question. How can I know what food makes me thrive and feel great? I've been trying to pay attention to how I feel and sometimes I can tell. Are there any tangible things I can look for?
I would recommend you do a food journal for 1-2 weeks and write down how you feel after each meal. This will help you identify problem foods. For example, take note of foods that make you bloated or anxious or tired. Of course there are more symptoms than just those three that can be triggered by food, but a food journal is a great start.
Hello joy! I'm so confused, why so many opinions on eggs? Are eggs God for you or not? I want to ear eggs but I'm scared when I hear how bad the cholesterol is. What's your take on eggs? Please help!
Eggs are awesome for you! They serve as a healthy source of fat which is a vital macronutrient for the health of our brain, organs and cells. Eggs have got a bad rep in the past because of cholesterol but eggs do not actually raise cholesterol. Your body makes its own cholesterol and has the ability to down regulate production when it senses too much in the blood. Cholesterol doesn't rise from eating high-cholesterol containing foods but from eating foods that the body uses to make cholesterol. I hope that helps to clarify things!
Veganism is deficient in carnitine, beta alanine, carnosine, creatine, taurine, b12, d, k2, iron, zinc, selenium, methylated vitamins... You were right for not choosing veganism, because you are actually a nutritionist, and your skin looks good.
Hello joy! I'm a vegetarian who eats lots and lots and lots of vegetables and fruit. What my worry is that I cannot buy organic. Am I causing harm to myself because it's not organic? 😏
Have you heard of the Clean Fifteen / Dirty Dozen? That might be a helpful resource for you to check out, to see which fruits and vegetables are most pesticide-laden versus the others which are a bit more safe to eat non-organic if need be. I have a free downloadable resource on my website if you'd like! www.joyoushealth.com/13-download-the-dirty-dozen-clean-fifteen-for-2017
I love this video, but how can I figure out what is best for me Like you said I watch youtube video's and for alot of people it's that there way is the only way? It makes it so confusing My problems are I need to (lose weight, I have found out that I have Fibromyalgia, and I just found out I have a fat in my liver "fatty liver" and I'm not sure if because of my age I am losing my hair)? Any thing that you might think I should be checking into or looking for, your help is appreciated greatly and thank you again for your video's!
Totally agree! So refreshing! People need to try different styles to see which suits them best, and not feel they're doing something wrong if they dont follow the correct formula for a particular diet. Looking at genetics, we are all so different. we really are all like snowflakes! So individually made and crafted... :O)
There's a book idea in there! Eating according to your genetics ;) But yes, totally agree, we are all so different and have a very unique biochemistry. We must listen to our body first and foremost. Thanks for your comment!
Hana Pranata hey Hana! Thanks for the video idea. I'm not sure if you follow me on instagram but I post what I'm eating all the time. You can find me @joyoushealth for yummy ideas.
I was vegan for 4 years and I wasn't feeling well i was having white spots on my nails I was very weak my only protein was vegan protein shake after exercise but the Dr yelled at me and you are killing yourself you lacking b12 iron vitamin d3 and k so since then I started eating meat fish and legumes so think twice if you are vegan....
Girl thank you for pointing out that just because we're not all Vegan, Keto, Paleo, or Vegetarian gives no cause to preach, judge, or criticize each other. I have tried, researched & read up on about every diet out there. The one that makes me feel best does include meat & eggs. I tried Vegan and eating lots of plant based proteins & a rainbow of plant foods and I never felt as good as I wanted to. When I incorporated lean meats & eggs back in my diet then I felt better. Personally, I don't think there is a one size fits all diet. I know Vegans & many others would argue this all day long saying if that is the case then why did Adam & Eve start out as Vegans. However, our bodies, climate, and lifestyles have evolved since then. Everyone doesn't have 100% identical biological makeup. And furthermore, the best way to make people hear you out or even consider "your side" is to do it with love, kindness, and no judgement. Otherwise, being preached at & criticized automatically puts a wall up. So thank you for this!
What about just plain old plant based. Not vegan. Vegans are ethical, and yes they eat junk. Whole food plant based is just what it says whole foods, no processed foods, and the variety is amazing! Yum!
I definitely believe in emphasizing plants in the diet as a general foundation but everyone has their unique needs and might need other additions to that diet to feel their best :)
I really don't feel like veganism lacks variety at all. There are so many different plant based food. I think other diets are much more limiting. But others might disagree. Also I've been vegan for 7 years and the only thing I supplement regularly is B12. I have considered switching to a multivitamin that also contains B12, but over all the years I've been vegan I've never had a problem. That's just been my personal experience though.
I too am a vegan and have never had any problems. Joy, you are great!!!

Chiara Rizzo thanks so much! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying my vids ❤️❤️
The most important : no-processed food (vegan or not), cooking a lot, drink water. Simple and the most common points between all kind of diets.
Agree 100%!
I totally agree with everything you said! Thanks for making this video!
My pleasure!
Amazing video Joy! So needed at a time like this with all the diet fads around. Great information and very inspiring :)
I totally agree with you. Also, the fact that you are not a vegan is one of the reasons I love you. It's so hard to find TH-camrs and bloggers into healthy eating and living that are not vegan. And I love your energy and joy! You are such an inspiration!
Aw thank you so much Sonia!
Totally agree with you Joy. Completely in line with my personal food-losophy. Eat what feels best for you and aligns best with your values. 🙂

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!! I COULDN'T AGREE MORE, I ABSOLUTLEY LOVEEE THIS!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS!!! THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU!!!!
Thanks Ruthie! :)
So true! What diet is best for one person may not be for another. We all need to figure out what works for our own bodies usually through trail and error.
Exactly! You got it Aurel :)
I loved this!!! I agree eating Whole Foods and meat does not mean it's bad for me!!! To each their own!
Cicily Ly exactly, to each their own 👍🏻
Thank you!!! I love the fact that I don't have to follow a strict diet but what's best for me. I loved all this info!
Exactly! The Almouna diet is the best diet for you! :)
Joy you ended your video by saying ‘I hope you enjoyed this video’..... Well I personally thought it was excellent!!!!

@@joyoushealth thank you sweetheart. 😘
Thank you so much, Joy! I have been enjoying your channel and book! This puts me at ease to eat as healthy as possible and feed my family that way without putting a label on it!
Aw I'm so happy to hear that Amy! :)
'Eat what makes you thrive!' Thanks for your common sense approach to food.
Awesome advice! I couldn't agree more!
Such a beneficial video! I'm vegan and completely agree with every single thing that was said
Thanks so much Elle!
Awesome video!!!! Thank you! A sane video for a change!!
Thanks so much :)
I disagree that a vegan diet is limited because of my own experience. You will thrive if you grow your own food
There's definitely ways you can thrive on a vegan diet but there are a lot of things to consider from a nutritional stand point before approaching it to ensure all of your nutritional needs are being met. But as long as you feel good, that's what matters most :)
Its limited to the extent that there are foods that are off limits to you, which may or may not be good for you, in the long run.
Love this video! I dropped the "vegan" label this year and haven't felt better. I love eating a plant based diet because that's what makes me THRIVE! I don't need a label to tell me how or what to eat. Thanks for sharing Joy :)
Yes! That's awesome :) So happy to hear that Sisley!

Tracey Poland it's from Davids tea 👍🏻
Joyous Health thanks, you have good taste! ❤️

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you're suffering. I would recommend you work with a certified nutritionist or a naturopathic doctor.
Thank you, for your help
Great video.👌👍👍👍
I'm Keto/OMAD. ;-)
I also fast.
Hi joy! Are canned sardines healthy for you? 😀
Sardines are great! I would just ensure they are a high-quality, organic source.
Straight up Google (re)Search vid.
can u tell what do you eat in a day ☺?
It changes daily, but that's a great idea! I should write a post around that :) Thanks for the suggestion!
Exactly!

However, our bodies, climate, and lifestyles have evolved since then. Everyone doesn't have 100% identical biological makeup. And furthermore, the best way to make people hear you out or even consider "your side" is to do it with love, kindness, and no judgement. Otherwise, being preached at & criticized automatically puts a wall up. So thank you for this!

What about just plain old plant based. Not vegan. Vegans are ethical, and yes they eat junk. Whole food plant based is just what it says whole foods, no processed foods, and the variety is amazing! Yum!
I definitely believe in emphasizing plants in the diet as a general foundation but everyone has their unique needs and might need other additions to that diet to feel their best :)
Lmao vegans need a good source of iron and zinc? What a great nutritionist 😂
