  1. We all have our own inspirational story on how we got here but YOU have stepped up by giving us a platform to build a community. My reasons are similar to yours- Animal Cruelty and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes /insulin resistance but once I removed ALL animal proteins, my blood sugar went back to normal and at 49 y old, I have never felt better! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR RECIPES. Love, love, love you and what you do! I can't thank you enough!

  2. Thanks for sharing your story. I just started transitioning to vegan recently due to my health. From high blood pressure to celiac disease to high cholesterol and bad digestive issues, I've been trying to figure out a way to push myself towards better health and well being. Even when forced to go gluten free, I still wasn't feeling great or energetic. A few weeks after starting vegan eating, I have found improvements in my energy levels, some weight loss, and a newfound love for veggies I never thought I'd had. Also, it's not as difficult as I thought to be vegan and is actually cheaper!

  3. My husband said one day about 5 months ago…. I think we should stop eating as much meat. I just happened to be near a book store later that day and picked up two vegan cookbooks because I learned to cook the step 1. Choose animal protein. Step 2. Choose starch. Step 3 choose something green. I loved the vegan recipes so started watching lots of YouTube vegan folks for more recipes. Well one thing lead to another and I eat vegan now. And my husband does most of the time. Haven’t transitioned other parts of my life yet. That will come later. Agree with all your benefits!

  4. I have a bad reaction to dairy; it makes my stomach turn into knots and I would just sit in pain for honestly days. I took most dairy out of my diet and started to notice that meats gave me a very similar reaction so I cut down to mostly chicken. I always wanted to start a vegan diet but I was afraid of the judgement other have the vegan lifestyle and I was afraid to truly cut it ALL out and not be able to enjoy the things I love. When I met my boyfriend he was already vegan for 2 years so I started to experience more of his cooking and started to going to vegan restaurants. When we moved in together I had decided it was time to fully immerse myself into veganism. My skin has been so much clearer, my fatigue is gone, my headaches are gone, I’m never in pain anymore and I have never been so happy. Finding channels like yours that have recipes for foods I love and still miss has been a huge help in the journey. It’s nice to be able to have an online community to support you and to encourage you. I love this channel and love to keep learning easy steps to veganism💗

  5. Chick you rock please don't ever lose your bubbly personality I will definitely continue to watch your videos just to add a smile to my face and learn cool new vegan recipes thanks again sincerely Cal

  6. im new to your channel, im wondering if you have a video on your favorite cruelty free make up brands? what works, what doesnt, etc? thanks in advance! really enjoying your videos

  7. This was so much fun to watch.  I just became Vegan 5 months ago and I feel great about it.  I loved hearing your take on it and have experienced a lot of what you talked about.  Except, I started out on this wanting to lose weight…I have only lost a little…but I feel so much better that my eating habits now match my passion for humane treatment of animals.  I am no longer conflicted.  That only took 57 years to attain but it is so gratifying!

  8. have been vegetarian for thirty years.. just recently went mostly vegan. Vegan at home.. vegetarian when we're out. also just purchased your book and have made the seitan chicken.. really good and tried the French onion soup recipe last night. really great. we loved it. started the broth in the morning in the crock pot and then just threw the rest together at dinner. quick and easy. so thx for doing that. very helpful. love the recipes

  9. So a skin problem is what made you do the switch,mmk. Well, as for me, i went vegan around 2 months ago now. I had been cutting meat out of my life for the most part, except for the occasional chicken wing cravings. I was feeling guilty i was doing something wrong. Eventually, i started looking into this, doing my research and that's when i uncovered information that motivated me to cut out not only meat but dairy as well! I am slowly learning more and more about the things i can eat as a vegan and getting better at cooking good meals.

  10. My sister and I have been vegan for 5 years. Best choice I ever made. To anyone trying to transition or thinking about it, just do it. It is so rewarding and you feel so good

  11. I can't get over how inspiring and funny you are! I feel like if we met we would be best friends!! Like, I even think our boyfriends would get along…. Lol.
    Anyway… When I first went vegan, about 1,5 month ago, I worked as a cook in a kitchen that didn't serve vegan food. To my advantage, we were a tiny kitchen team of just my head chef and myself and he was very supportive (even tho he kinda thought I was crazy…….). He would even cook vegan food for the entire staff simply because I was vegan (even tho I told him I could make my own food! Such an amazing person!). And guess what? Every single staff member would enjoy it.
    Anyway… what I noticed, and what I want to share, is that even tho I worked in kitchens for about two years before I went vegan I never been as inspired as I've been since I made the transition. I remember telling my old boss that after going vegan I felt so much more inspired and confident in my cooking. Cutting our animal products actually gives you MORE room to play around… Animal products can be so fragile and it's so easy to ruin a dish that contains animal products, where as plant based foods gives you more freedom. (Unless it's green veggies……don't kill those green veggies. Don't make them grey. Please. Lol.)
    Ok. This is turning into a rant.
    Lastly I want to say THANK YOU for all your inspiration and keep up the good work!
    Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

  12. I love, love your videos and attitude towards life and what you eat ! I've been jumping in and out of veganisum for the past year and now it's really stuck. Your right, once you know what your eating ( the cruelty and suffering) you really can't go back.
    Also just wondering , I have a chronic condition called M.E/ CFS and I originally went dairy free to help with my fatigue and pain. I think it really has helped , I would love to know if anyone else here has gone vegan for similar reasons ? And how's it going? Would be great to know other people's take on it .
