Veganism is not a diet, it is not just about the food, it is about avoiding exploiding animals in all areas including clothing and entertainment. It was never just supposed to a diet.
I needed someone in my life that gives me good advice, and I don’t think I realized it until I found your channel. I’ve been vegan for 17 years, and I’ve never been fatter than I am right now. Single vegan me got to eat the way I wanted. Married vegan me has to cook for a man who is happily vegan, but has very different ideas about “healthy” and portion sizes than I do. I’m still begging to pick my own means and serve myself portions.
I have to do all my fitness measurements (mass, distance, measurements) in metric. I live in USA, and whilst I’m a scientist and can easily convert into metric and vice versa, I refuse to do that math when it comes to me bc pounds have this morality attached to them.
Years ago I was working a night shift at a hospital and a resident from another hospital was there working with me. She somehow found out I’m vegan, and exclaimed “but you don’t look like you have an eating disorder!” I did not (although I had in the past), and was very fit and healthy. But I do think a lot of people mask their eating disorders under the socially more accepted title of vegan or gluten free, etc.
이모 (you are probably my age tho)… You are a beautiful, passionate, articulate person. You are wide and wise and multi-faceted and full of coolness and heat. Your perspective is rare and rich and needed. There is something horribly flawed in any set of standards that call you ugly.
I love listening to your stories! So interesting, insightful and real. I find them to also be inspiring and can often relate which makes me feel so much better! 🙂
Guys I was driving in California and I saw a whole bunch of cows like thousands of them, it smelled horrible and I looked it up, it's. Ranch called "Harris feeding company" in Fresno Coalinga Road coalinga, CA . There have been protest but nothing has been done! What can we do for all these cows???!! This is horrible 😭 this is my husband's account btw
Girl. You really really really are overcomplicating things. I've been following you for a while now, and you really need a reality check. Want to have a healthy relationship with your body? Get a personal nutricionist that will make meal plans for you based on your blood type. Yes there are vegan nutricionists too. Want to look rocking hot always? Get a personal trainer that has a private gym. Make those two things a habit and you're done with the drama. You are a lawyer, you can certainly afford those things. Your stories and magical and beautiful but those so called problems you have; have really easy solutions when you actually want to fix them. If a bear can learn to ride a bike, you can certainly fix your love/hate relationship with your body. You just have to want it babe. Anything is possible if you really set your mind on it. You are only one who's limiting yourself here. And you are the only one who can fix YOU.
Calorie Deficit is the only way to lose weight. Vegan food is high volume low calorie foods.. aside from nuts seeds grains & legumes.. so it's hard to overeat on a vegan diet while eating those foods I mentioned sparingly. Stop spewing misinformation.
I cannot tell you how much I love your channel! Your stories are so relaxing, and enrich my life for the better; it's an amazing way to end a night. Your recipes get me excited to eat! I love vegan (I eat 100% plant-based and GF) food, and I have been doing my best to learn to cook more Korean cuisine; it's my favourite! Thank you for sharing all your recipes, story, and love! <3 Love from Canada
For me, the process of getting rid of guilt when eating came from intermittent fasting. Instead of being hungry all day and thinking about food all day, I eat only during a 4 hour window each day.
What that means for me is that I need to consider all of my nutritional needs for that time frame and prioritize. So when it is not eating hours, I am free from thoughts of food and I can live actively in my life and focus on what I want to do uninterrupted. When it is eating time there are no limits on what I can eat, but I try to start the meal with something with a lot of veggies and lean meats then carbs and dessert toward the end.
By doing this eating pattern, it is so much easier to feel in touch with real hunger and fullness instead of boredom eating or sugar crashes. Eating this way I have also lost 30lbs without restricting any food groups or items. I eat dessert every day. I have carbs every day. Also I can move my eating hours as I choose. I normally eat from 5p-9p, but if I have a brunch date with a friend I just shift my hours to 11a-3p. And some days I choose not to fast, but thats the beauty of it. Having a no fast day does not break any rules. I just made a choice to live life differently. I still do intermittent fasting 27 days of that month.
IF is the first eating pattern I have had that makes me feel like I'm free from food controlling my life.
I was so worried when I saw the title of this video, as Fatphobia is so prevalent in especially vegan food channels, it I didn’t want to dismiss it out of hand and I’m so glad I didn’t. Thank you for sharing of your journey with us, I hope the message is received well by your followers and that it might open some inner dialogues for people who are grappling with the same things.
This video made me tear up. I'm currently experiencing that journey towards ethical and intentional vegetarianism and eventually veganism. I struggle with people asking about it like it it's a weight-loss plan when, like you said, I can feel myself challenging the meaning of food with every meal. Love this. 💕💕💕
I'm really curious how this would taste. It looks so good! The soy milk is probably not going to taste the same as regular soy milk because of the other ingredients included. 🤤
Sorry I know this is off topic, on the vid of "Success is the Best Revenge" which I do agree.. but making a call out video to fill up the emptiness he left u in the pass doesn't seem like a wise way to display a higher form of intelligents on Eq part.. it's good to have it as fuels to excel but the most important thing is to move on & be happy in private my dear.
I had a disordered relationship with food in high school, in part because of self-esteem, but also because I had been pressured to eat until I was sick by my mother's then boyfriend. That night I realized, I'd hit a pattern where I would be pressured to eat too much and then I would feel nauseated and at times purge it, intentional or otherwise. Because it was specifically popcorn shrimp that tipped me over the edge, I channeled my disordered eating into vegetarianism even though none of my family members were willing to accommodate my food needs as a vegetarian. This meant I didn't eat enough calories, nor much at all. I think in many ways, this was part of the goal. I stopped being vegetarian within the year because I realized that I wasn't actually eating. I returned to eating all meat, with no caveats.
I have been Pescatarian the last few years though, because I felt it was something I could maintain for the planet, and I've been considering expanding that to rarely eating dairy. I replaced milk a long time ago with plant-based milk, and have not yet traded in butter. I occasionally trade cheese.
I gained a lot of girth during quarantine, and my shape changed what feels like a ton. I know we shouldn't feel shame about this moment, because we had so little power, but I do feel incredibly self-conscious and really sad about it. Because I moved last week, I've had the opportunity to reset some habits from quarantine. My eating and sedentary habits are a huge part of it. I started to wonder if I should get a scale again. I do think it can be a useful tool, and it is good to know how much I weigh, but the real question is how I will use the tool if I have it.
The last few days I've been trying to experiment with Ketosis, and it made me feel pretty good, less sluggish etc. I recognize it is an emergency state the body tends to go through, so I'm trying to not be extreme, and trying to not do it all the time. Your description of the Paleo diet was familiar to me because of this.
I ate a banana with my coffee this morning, and plan to eat a nectarine at breakfast tomorrow. I really don't know what I'll do next, but it is nice to see that people can break free of this cycle, this harsh relationship with food and the self.
I don't know my path there, but I'm glad to see someone break free.
I'm slowly starting to go vegan, it's been challenging for me so far but your recipes have been really helping. So thank you so much and your advice and stories are such a nicely added bonus 😊
Thank you for sharing recipes. I’m also a vegan. Do you buy vegan Kimchi and vegan ramen? I stay away from instant ramen because I think most ramen soup base/ powders are not vegan.
Veganism is not a diet, it is not just about the food, it is about avoiding exploiding animals in all areas including clothing and entertainment. It was never just supposed to a diet.
Beautiful storytelling. I’m plant based keto, so just here for the stories.
Lovely response to the question 👏

Now I want soondooboo.
Eating with intention is life changing!!! I went vegan about 11 years ago, and shed 35 lbs effortlessly. I've never felt better.
I've made this many times now to go with oatmeal, noodles, curries… Just amazing. Thank you so much for the recipe and your stories!

If you're a dude never use soy milk
Can't believe I just found this channel! Vegan Korean food that covers interesting topics, I'm glad I'm here 🙂
at least you don’t force us to become vegan.
you just earned a new sub!
Gramma is the best!
yes!!! veganism gave me a purpose to eat, eat for Mother Nature, and for my ethic🥰💕
i in love with the style of ur videos and content, thank you so much! im binge watching all ur videos rn
Isn't this just called 콩국수? not 라면…?
Beautiful ❤️❤️

Congrats on the cookbook! I can't wait to hold it in my hands and do my initial shopping for one of the recipes!
I just prepared the same dish RIGHT before this and the other Seoul grandma story 🙂

It's rare to find any vegan substitute in my country. But I love animals so much. That's why I went to the vegan diet.💚
Why does the water need to be filtered?
I have a similar story to yours✨🦋 and I completely agree with everything you said. The right intention really healed me.

I always enjoy your stories, you have a calming voice and your word choice is spot on. Thanks for sharing your spirit with us.

Love ramen and tried spicy Kimchi for the first time this weekend. I'll have to try this recipe.
In telling your stories, you speak to so many of our souls. For that, I thank you.
As older as I get (58),its about less pressure… movement ant eating with pleasure ♥️
The worth thing, is teached… discrimination is real and feminism an illness.
Don't shoot me on this one, but to be a feminist isn't pro woman at all.
Thank you so much, for being you❣️
I'm really curious how this would taste. It looks so good! The soy milk is probably not going to taste the same as regular soy milk because of the other ingredients included. 🤤
I just love her ! 💜💛
I came across ur channel couple of weeks ago…
and now….I'm like addicted…..the content…ur amazing….I learn something new everytime…stay blessed
I have been following your videos for quite sometime. Your videos are so aesthetic and food obviously looks delicious ♥️♥️♥️

I went vegan in 2016 too! It was my second time. The first time was in 1995 and it lasted for almost six months. This time is apparently a keeper.
Your stories and you both are so real and beautiful that everytime I watch your videos I get lost.
This made me cry. I loved it.

I so needed to hear this right now…on so many levels. Thank you
I love the lighting and depth of colors in your videos. It looks so rich
