If you’re worried about saying you have gone vegan just say I am eating healthy x
New here! Thank you!
Hello my name is Diane and I'm going to try to do this plant-based diet or whatever you call it I am a meat eater and I just don't know if it's going to work for me but I'm going to try because I am type 2 diabetic high blood pressure high cholesterol high triglycerine you name it I got it so I've been watching these two doctors on YouTube about eating whole foods and I was taught not to eat rice not to eat potatoes and now this diet says yes you can but you can't handle me no butter no dairy so I'm trying to get it all in my head and I've been really really loving your recipes so please please help me I need help and I appreciate it thank you so very much for your videos and you have a blessed day
My aunt is a vegan and says Potato chips are vegan LOL she is over weight 🙂 wine is vegan too
I chose to become vegan for my health; I eat a very simple diet; I do not buy processed vegan foods; I just prepare/chop my veggies every day.
Glad to hear that you had tried being vegan multiple times before it stuck. I'm in the same boat .

I think also add enzyme combination in capsule form with your meal is a good idea
Hi,
So real I like it… Yikes I struggle on the weekends. But I saw one of your video about stuff we should have on our pantry. Tks for sharing your journey❤🤗
Great content very positive and good tips. I liked the video . I hope you keep up the good work we all need to see plant based is truly healthier. I'm right in the middle of reversing high blood pressure and diabetes lost 60 pounds in few months blood pressure down 15 to 20 on both sides remarkable. I switched over cold turkey as my kidney function 20 points in short time. This is serious stuff this is our life. I regret not doing this 20 yrs ago. I could have avoided many hospital visits and suffering being so overweight and unhealthy. I commend you for being so kind on people but honestly some people need it straight before its to late. Till the next one.

After watching a few videos, I just had to subscribe 🤗. God blessed you with encouragement and fun laughs! This video definitely hits my concerns👍
What is the recipe that is in the thumbnail pic?!
that's so true. I have two aunt that are not vegan and they were prescribed b12 by the doctor
Mushrooms contain vit b12 iron and protein
How easy was it to give up meat? I love vegetables, but do you get started?If you take a lot. of meds what is the best way to go??
Great advice, Thank you 😊
Tia, this was an awesome video. When I first started looking at this lifestyle it was so confusing. It took me a Hugh amount of time to sift through all the approaches. Vegan before 6, WFPB but includes animal, vegan but junky, vegan but, please greese relief ( coconut cream, an avocado per day, nuts by the half cup portion, nut butter on everything, Tahiti too and topped with seeds plus oil. OMGosh) I was post op for breast cancer and didn't want it back. It took me a while to find the WFPB vegan way of eating and then to find practioners that kept it simple. Simple is so important when making the change. Thanks I know this will help others and it's always good to hear the truth again and again. B
I love your voice!
Starting out with quick Easy meals is KEY to sticking to it
I love that you say “y’all”! Lol. Tried your pasta salad recipe with Hungry Vegan Mama dressing. It was excellent! I’m a new subscriber and more of a pescatarian but really appreciate all your tips, tricks, advice especially weight loss secrets. I’m down 5 pandemic pounds eating some of your recipes and Malin’s as well as intermittent fasting. I think for me the biggest struggle with eating healthy and trying to lose weight is boring food. Thankfully I love to cook and thanks to the internet I get inspiration for a good variety of meals!!😁♥️
Newbie here!! My mom and I both have Lupus among a couple of other autoimmune diseases and have decided to switch over to a plant based diet to help with the inflammation in our bodies. We have been doing this for about 4 weeks now and wow!! We can already tell a difference in the bloating and swelling. And the brain fog is getting so much better too! So happy to have found your channel. Love all your tips!!!
Hi Tia! New subscriber and possible new plant based diet convert. Done every diet and gained weight back….about 400 pounds over 20 years—same 20 pounds! Really thinking about switching from carnivore and keto to plant based. LOVE your channel, your makeup looks phenomenal and love your hairstyles esp. the curls!
I feel the need to point out that it is better to eat before going to a restaurant, not to bring your food into a restaurant. This is because restaurants have strict health codes that they need to follow and they can get in serious trouble if people are eating outside food in their restaurant and they get reported.
I like that you specify going to a plant-based doctor if you’re having excessive issues. It really bothers me when someone has issues with this diet for whatever reason and they go to their doctor and their doctor tells them they “need” to start eating animal based foods again for their health. I’d rather work with someone that can troubleshoot any problems I might encounter. Chances are you only need to make small changes to get yourself back to feeling your best.
I have stumbled on your site .
You provide such fun and lovely diet plan. I am home recuperating from 2 back surgeries and need to lose. I am giving this a try. Thank you.
"Vegan" has so much baggage attached to it to the typical SAD eater. I've come up with a new term to use for myself: holovore (Greek, "holo", whole; Latin "vorare" to devour; pronounced "HALL-oh-vor). I tried "holophage" (from the Greek "holos" and "phagein" to eat) but it sounded too….clinical? or something. Anyway, I tell people I'm a holovore and they of course ask what that is and that's my opening 🙂
It's hard for me, I have IBS and beans, lentils, etc are a no no! How can I do this and get the protein I need
Your eyes are SOOOO pretty!!!
I'm so glad you said you tried to eat this way many times before it stuck! I have such a hard time getting mentally prepared!
Thank you so much, very informative and inspirational
I’m also with you in no one talks about GAS lol
Another great video. I'm so glad you brought up the bloating/flatulence info. So many don't. I still struggle a bit with legumes in this area (3 months vegan) and my gut took at least a month to start building different/better gut flora. I just had to endure and keeping moving forward and know that it's all normal. So much better now and worth the adventure. Life is always worth living with the journey being colourful lol. Thanks again, these are great tips.
Great video! Thanks for all the information you share – really appreciate it all. I’m transitioning over for health reasons only – you mention something that I did not give al of thought before – is the general belief of the vegan community that eating animals is “evil” or some how wrong? I hope when I mention to people that we are transitioning that they don’t think I’m being judgmental lol 😂
Just got your printed book; so excited! Yay, it’s rainy here in GA…so a perfect day to curl up and read! I can’t find the video where you make lentil marinara and put it on toast, but I did that today. Lentils are intense so I tried something I saw my roommate from college do… she added mustard to her spaghetti. It’s perfect for cutting that earthy lentil flavor. It’s a weird hack, but it’s delicious. Just FYI
Thanks so much for your motivating content!!!!
What about blending whole foods? Smoothies work for me on the go! Still natural state?
Thank you so much, you
have answered all the things I was unsure about. Your tips on keeping it simple were just what I needed to hear.On my 3rd day and ordering my book tomorrow by Dr McDougall.
In most restaurants in the USA now, you can order a salad and/or potatoes, rice, or bread…and at least one veggie, plain pasta. I don't think it's that hard being vegan anymore.
I'm over bloating for 3 years now with veggies
Hi tía i'm new to your channel and i love it . I have been struggling the last 9 years with my weight and i did the whole vegetarian food and lost 70 lbs but i can't do milk or meat . My body rejects it and i get sick 🤢. I'm tired of calorie counting and your recipes will help me so much and the knowledge is much needed
I went plant-based about 4 weeks ago. So glad I found you. I am unusual in that my weight was fine but I was doing low-carb and intermittent fasting and I was very hungry all the time. After three years I said enough. I stumbled into this lifestyle through a friend. You are absolutely adorable and I love your informative videos.🥰
Thank you once again. I’m really loving your videos. Thanks for all the great advice.
I travel a lot. I find Tropical Smoothie Island Green Detox with pea protein and their hummus wrap minus the ranch dressing a good option. When out with friends I go for the baked potato with salsa and steamed veggies sometimes double steamed veggies.

Hello I keep trying to download your recipe guide but it says not available, either removed or wrong address? Can you help me to download this book? Thank you
I live in a rural part of Ontario, close to a small town and we have several resturants with many vegan options. So fortunate.
This is not my first rodeo to a HFPB vegan lifestyle. I did this 3 yrs ago for about six months and then failed miserably after spending 5 days in Disney World (zero healthy options and no way to cook). Once home, I just went back to my old unhealthy ways. It was easier I suppose. After a yr of being on 13 supplements for a leaky gut, I am back at it again. The most frustrating part of my health journey is that I am a Certified Health Coaching know better. UGH…… What is different and more sustainable this time is following The Starch Solution- its been a LIFE SAVER!!!! Thanks for all of your videos, Tia. They have all been extremely helpful. I'm one step closer to helping clients go plant based/Vegan
The way that I first went vegetarian was to give up red meat for 6 months and then poultry the next 6 month. By the end of that year, I only had fish/seafood and dairy products. So for the next 6 months, I stopped eating fish/seafood. I never ate much of that anyway so it was not hard to give up. So after 18 months I was down to just dairy products. I was 40 years old when I made the decision to become vegetarian. Ate age 55, I became vegan. It really wasn't heard because during my journey I was constantly picking up recipes and ideas for meals, and rethinking how to eat. I've never felt deprived. Now, at age 60, I am vegan, 50% raw vegan. I live in a cold climate so I eat cooked food mainly in winter. I feel so much better eating vegan and I feel better when I look at animals because I see them as fellow creatures enjoying the world with me rather than as food. I also made the transition because I spent 20+ years as a caregiver to my family who passed from high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, etc., and were medicated for years prior to passing. They all ate the Standard American Diet and I did too. But I'm glad I changed.
I went Vegan, plant base, Whole Food
Last year and I noticed I wasn’t losing weight until I started counting my calories!!
I don’t understand how people can just lose weight without calorie counting!
I wasn’t eating junk, it was pretty healthy!!
Do you follow Dr Mc Dougall the Starch Solution lifestyle?
