CAN GOING VEGAN GET US PREGNANT? (WHAT THE HEALTH)

[@tateylove]

We eat vegan or at LEAST mostly plant based most of the week!!! :) If you need recipe ideas message me! Sweet potato nachos are our fave! You can google image the glory for yourself 😍 We feel so much better and there's been so many other positive side effects.

[@MackenzieHerman]

I went vegan and my husband went MOSTLY vegetarian and we got pregnant after trying for a year! Other things played a role in us getting pregnant but IT HELPED!!!

[@MeettheWheelers]

That's very encouraging to hear! We're excited to look at our numbers and compare our fertility before and after going vegan!

[@JULZ7991]

I'm vegan and my biggest recommendation for Sarah is to include maca powder into her diet (whether it be in coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, etc). It is known to help balance hormones and fertility! Def do some research. Hope this helps

[@judylewis206]

Yes maca power helps with fertility and unbalance hormones

[@pnmdsz6]

After trying to get pregnant for nearly two years with no luck (and finally diagnosed with pcos) I decided to switch to a plant based diet on my mom's recommendation after she watched Forks Over Knives and did some additional research. I figured I had nothing to lose. I got pregnant in June and am now 10 weeks! Definitely worth it! Aside from becoming pregnant just from changing my diet, my adult acne cleared up (of course it's back now that I'm pregnant, but I don't even care!) And I also lost about 15 pounds You will get some negative feedback, just make sure to arm yourselves with knowledge!! Good luck! Praying for you two! Edit: for recipe inspiration I use Instagram (#veganfood), and follow the blogs Oh She Glows and Minimalist Baker, and on KZbin Sarah Lemkus, Melissa Alexandria, and Ellen V.S.

Jackfruit canned in water, find at any Asian food store or some supermatkets. Drained. Pull apart the larger pieces (takes about 5mins). Cook in fry pan+BBQ sauce for 5-10 mins. SO EASY. SO TASTY! Use for pulled "pork" sandwiches and no one can tell the difference!

[@kellyy6625]

My IVF doctor told us to go vegan 2 years ago. We did it together and it has changed our lives for the better in all aspects. Unfortunately I had a miscarriage, but I really feel like my endometriosis has gotten way better and stays away for longer. Keep on this path! Watch the videos to stay vegan for the animals ❤️ The only supplement you need is B12, and make sure you eat enough food!!! If you have ANY questions ask me :)

[@MeettheWheelers]

Sorry to hear about the miscarriage Kelly...we know too well how that feels. It is crazy to think about all the ways eating plant-based could benefit your health! We definitely know too that there is an animal treatment problem in the food industry, we just wanted people to know that we were focusing on the health benefits and not trying to pick a fight. :) Thanks for your support!

[@zen3506]

Kelly Y absolutely, vegan diet reduces all the inflammation in your body.

[@zen3506]

Meet the Wheelers check out sarah lemkus youtube channel. she has just gotten pregnant on a plantbased diet

[@Liv4Today]

OMG too funny... we watched this documentary too and immediately changed a lot of things with our diet. Granted, we were already on a pretty strict endo diet, but it was pretty interesting to see it's effect on Eric's thoughts on it all. Exciting stuff guys. It's not easy but you can totally do it! :) I'll link you my fav vegan mac and cheese recipe. I make it with gluten free pasta personally.

[@MeettheWheelers]

It's a very insightful documentary and pushed us to where we were willing to make extreme decisions that are actually much easier to do now-a-days. Can't wait to see how good we feel!

[@MeettheWheelers]

If you guys have any good vegan recipes or suggestions be sure to share them down below!

[@kellyy6625]

Meet the Wheelers Hot for food on KZbin, cooking with plants on KZbin, eat lots of beans and legumes, chao sliced cheese and follow your heart cheese slices (not shreds), and the beyond burgers are awesome! Love and lemons website is great, and I put my hubby on a zinc supplement to help with his little men :)

[@kellyy6625]

Meet the Wheelers Ohh and get the happy cow app! It will help you find local restaurants and places that have vegan options near you. Totally worth the few dollars

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thanks for all the great stuff Kelly!

[@Liv4Today]

Vegan Mac and Cheese - soooo good! I'm sure there's other great recipes on that site too, though I haven't checked any out personally. veganyumminess.com/creamy-vegan-mac-and-cheese/

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thanks for the recipe! :)

[@2A4BDGV]

The body has an amazing ability to heal, we just have to give it the proper nutrients. Focus on whole foods. The processed vegan substitutes are good for transitioning. Also, as much raw as possible. Check out Tannyraw. She is amazing and very inspirational. She also does coaching whether you're raw or not.

[@HalieandE]

Yessss!! Yall are back!!

[@MeettheWheelers]

YES! It's been a weird season for us, but here we are! So happy for you guys and your baby boy!!!

[@HalieandE]

Meet the Wheelers Thank yall! We've missed your updates! 💗

[@ebh8729]

Goodluck on your journey! Vegan dieting is great and has alot of health benefits. I tried it when I was trying to conceive, but then came across the keto diet. Funny thing is, I got pregnant about 1-2 months into the keto diet. Interestingly enough, I felt better on the keto diet. It's amazing how our bodies work differently. Some work well with plant based and no meat, and some work with meat and minimal carbs. But definitely do what feels best for you both! Praying your rainbow baby is right around the corner!!

[@ComfortingGrace]

I started eating vegan on June 14th and I have lost 8 lbs and have never felt better! It has opened my eyes to so many new foods and flavors. It is definitely so much healthier for you. Read How Not To Die by Dr. Greger. Awesome.

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thanks for the tip Kelly and way to go! We are five days in and feel amazing! We can't wait to see the benefits!

[@brittanyrobinson9681]

I'm 30 minutes in or so of that documentary and I can't even believe it!! I personally cut out red meat 8 years ago. But to hear that chicken is just as bad 😯 oh man changes need to be made! Also it was nice catching up with you two in this video 😁 excited for your new home and new adventure there!!

[@TheFloMachine]

I recommend trying it for longer than 2 weeks, those 2 weeks are barely enough to let your bodies adjust, to truly feel and see benefits and changes, try it for a bit longer :) also make sure you eat enough! I hope you enjoy it a lot!

[@jasmineh7784]

Hi guys, there is a guy that was in the doco WHAT THE HEALTH ... he has a youtube channel called Mu Jin Han / Fearless Mu. Really worth checking out and so inspiring. Such a calming and reassuring personality.

[@megansmith480]

I've been vegan for almost 2 years after a heavy meat based diet, had a completely vegan pregnancy, and I love the lifestyle! Follow vegan Instagrams, recipe blogs like minimalist baker and Oh She Glows for ideas, but basically just eat what you'd normally eat, just the vegan version, example: replace the meat in spaghetti with lentils. BAM! Extremely healthy and filling. Be careful not to restrict calories - plant foods are high in fibre and therefore bulkier than animal/processed foods and you will feel full before you may have enough calories. This is a common error and that's why people feel hungry/have their hair fall out in extreme cases - they are literally starving!

[@zen3506]

just make sure you eat enough. Cause you have to eat more on a vegan diet to reach the same calories as if you were eating meat etc...... animal products are more calorie dense. but definately check out Sarah Lemkus youtube channel. I think you will find her really helpful.

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thanks for the tips! There are so many helpful people and resources out there now-a-days! :)

[@arianagonzales129]

Sarah and Dan are our friends and they are awesome! Definitely check them out 👌

[@arianagonzales129]

Sarah has PCOS and got pregnant naturally after going vegan!

[@zen3506]

Timothy and Ariana oh wow, and now she is having another one. I pray that God will bless this beautiful couple too.......

[@erinj7290]

You should watch Melissa Ramos on KZbin. She has a lot of helpful advice about a wide variety of fertility issues as well as woman's health in general. And quite a few vegan recipes to go along with the different topics she discusses.

[@MeettheWheelers]

Thanks for the suggestion Erin! :)

[@r123hh]

Wishing you lots of luck on your new plantbased diet and your journey! I'm totally loving it and i'm now vegan for over a year! PS try banana nicecream

[@CarlosMCruz-es9tm]

oatmeal, cinnamon, banana, or blue berries, or strawberries for breakfast. Cocoa powder, cinnamon and coconut milk for "hot coco" Enjoy, good luck and God Bless ;)

[@janeowen266]

Yay great to see you guys again. We have missed you. ❤️

[@truthchangelove8913]

I love making a version of this dip. I omit the oil and water chestnuts, add a little extra salt, add a Tbsp lemon juice and a Tbsp mustard (you don't even taste it; this gives it the sharp cheese flavor). It's the best thing ever!

[@mikaelam.695]

Just watched this then went to your channel and was super happy to see that you guys had a beautiful baby. Congrats! Subscribed. ❤️ I’ve been a vegetarian for 14 years and just made the leap to a full on plant based (vegan) diet after watching the game changers on Netflix.

[@lillysflowerpower]

[@christinelinn5886]

My family has been vegan for a year and a half, and it's really helped controlling my pcos symptoms. I would recommend watching Food Choices next. Great job, guys!

[@enoliaa]

Take it easy and dont plan anything and you will get pregnant...I got pregnant in the most stressful and unhealthy times diet wise. lots of love to u too!!! I trust that you will get pregnant 💗💗💗

[@jeannettepeterson2463]

Best book I bought used on Amazon.... Mayim's vegan table by Mayim Bialik. Love love her!

[@valentinarossimazzii729]

great to see you back! Being vegan takes a lot of extra effort. more expensive too but I have had good results personally with my body particularly in the reproductive area. I do eat a little bit of salmon so I am pescatarian not vegan. I think maybe the omega oils in salmon may be good for you Sarah but it is so ethical not to eat meat or fish. Best of luck guys! Its 90 here in italy . Hottest summer since 1880 so I know how you feel!

[@tarashakeshaft1090]

Go for it! I've been told to eat meat for my lining, at least, (by acupuncurist), but I'm excited for you guys!! I'm doing everything to get pregnant, and it feels good to just try things and feel that I'm doing my best. Otherwise, I am dairy free and eat mostly whole, unprocessed food!

[@mads8511]

The exact same thing happened to me! After 4 cancelled DEIVF cycles I watch the documentary and have been vegan for a month now. I don't think I'll ever go back! I feel so much better and I don't think it can possibly hurt so why not try it. Excited to see if this helps you guys :)

[@lizcj87]

There are a ton of jackfruit BBQ sandwich recipes online, I have really wanted to try one but we live in Montana and jackfruit is pretty much impossible to find where I live!

[@serashlyn1291]

Awwwww so excited for what the future holds for y'all! Maybe with the diet start taking the women's one a day couples prenatals! A baby is in the near future I promise!

[@hellohmylover]

I'm a little terrified to watch it but it might be time 😂😱

[@MeettheWheelers]

It's a situation of "Ignorance is Bliss"...once you know, it shatters your view of the food and health industry...it's worth watching!

[@cturner9356]

Being vegan helped me to finally get pregnant after 8 long years of ttc (IVFs and all that stuff). Check out some vegan channels like Hot for Food, The Happy Pear, and Mary's Test Kitchen. You can find recipes for anything here on YT or Pinterest, just search away!

[@cturner9356]

Also, don't forget to take B12 supplement!

[@BunsAndPearls]

I watched this movie a few weeks ago and instantly was like heck to the NO! My 5 year old loves yogurt to death and I was like nope. Cant do that anymore. So I found some coconut milk yogurt that tastes pretty good. Keep up the good work y'all!

[@valv1722]

This is me since late July. It's day 12 of eating a plant based diet. Best of luck to u both and me!! My 1st IVF ended in Miscarriage but this gives me hope.

[@jenniferweitzel999]

Ayla and Caleb have been doing a vegan diet also! Check out her Pinterest. :) I am considering doing it to see if I can be healthier also.

[@MissKyraLee33]

I'm vegan too! Make sure you have B12 supplements; 100mcg daily or 2500mcg weekly. All B12 supplements are vegan. Also, everyday get your omega-3 fats in (DHA's) by eating ¼ cup walnuts, or 1 tablespoon chia seeds, or 2 tablespoons flaxmeal (flax seed meal), or 3 teaspoons of hemp seeds. If you can't eat any of those daily you'll need DHA supplements. Food is always best! Check out NutritionFacts.org. Dr Michael Greger is literally amazing. So, so good!

[@brendacourtice9498]

Have you guys ever tried going to a naturopath? My husband had low motility and was put on some natural supplement to improve his motility. I changed my diet to a predominantly blood type a foods diet after recommendations from my naturopath. After trying for two years and one miscarriage I'm now 30 weeks pregnant 👍😄. Think food and stress had a lot to do with the unexplained infertility.

[@MegaMarsha]

Have y'all tried seitan? I used to make my own as a protein source. It's made from wheat gluten and is dense and "meatier" than tofu. I love tofu too, but when I wanted a more "meat" like substitute I used seitan. You can find it in the grocery store premade.

[@forensicmama7084]

Whether or not you get pregnant, I feel like you should pursue any and all avenues and put your whole hearts into it so that there's never a "what if" in your minds. I have faith that you'll become parents when the right time comes. God has a child for you.

[@esjebesje8638]

Ohh.. and the -hippie lane cookbook-!!! Really good! (Look at the app as well)

[@bigomondis104]

I love that place in Everett. I can't do tofu and didn't see any on the menu there. I'll be a regular there. Feel free to join us there

[@sherylyonker2982]

Check out Sarah's Vegan Kitchen on youtube. She shows some great recipes

[@MeettheWheelers]

WOAH! This channel is amazing...thanks for the suggestion!

[@truthchangelove8913]

Tofu isn't a meat replacement. You would want Gardein for a meat replacement. Tofu is more the equivalent of egg whites. Also, you can get vegan convenience foods like frozen pizza and many other things.

[@megansmith480]

Freeze, defrost and drain the tofu! Cook on high heat! Best texture!

[@kerrionalucas4363]

My husband & i do yoga & we love it

[@laurenlines4268]

You'll have to read up on Medical Medium. And follow it on IG. Lots of amazing info. Lots of ideas on food. :)

[@lifelove_]

I am in my thirties and my skin finally got really well when I stopped eating meat some months ago. I am also going for my third IVF in december.

[@breatheinbreatheout7568]

It really depends what the underlying issue is. Plant based diet is not some miracle cure for everything...unfortunately.

[@booksnbiceps7769]

Excited to see if going vegan will help you guys! Just be careful with soy because it can mess with hormones. We just watched "GMO OMG" it's on Netflix and it's really good. Only down side is that now I feel like all our food has to be organic. Hah. It's expensive.

[@amim5144]

High carb Hannah, Caitlin shoemaker and sweetpotatosoul here on YT have some of the best vegan recipes!

[@bowhuntressbeauty8511]

Oh my goodness, Y'all convinced me to watch "What the Health," and now I want to try vegan foods/drinks too! That is all some scary information, especially being raised as a meat eater.

Side note we went vegan when I was ttc with my son... got pregnant second month.... now weird I haven't tried again while trying for my second

[@learningaswegocitygonecoun6805]

We have been plant base for the last 3 years. My husband cardiologist challenge us to Forks over Knives for three months. Jon also had just been diagnosed with diabetics. Needless, to say we no longer see the cardiologist and Jon A1C is normal. Just want to encourage you. Lifestyle matters

[@learningaswegocitygonecoun6805]

Daniel Fast cookbooks are great. Also, check out soy curls. You can order them from Bulters on Amazon. Another restaurant you might want to try is The Flying Apron in Fremont district.

[@esjebesje8638]

Great. Keep it up! Potatoes, rice, pasta, beans, greens and fruit ;)! Watch a lot of nutritionfacts.org (Michael Greger and John McDougall), but you probably know that already! Love and kisses

[@Raven.13]

That's great, I hope it helps. In all honestly and trepidation the ethical concerns of modern animal agriculture are valid. Pigs are smarter then your dog, as smart as a 3 year old. They can do puzzles 😮 You wouldn't impregnate you dog, lock her in a cage so she couldn't turn around or move, or take care of her babies. Then impregnate her again and again. Pigs are universally factory farmed, this is where antibiotic resistance bacteria is made. The reality is so well hidden, your meat isn't coming a happy farms. 56 billion land animals and and trillions of marine life are killed for 7.5 billion humans, yet there are still people starving to death along with people being literally too poor to eat meat. Just wait until the 3rd world countries begin to emulate the western lifestyle in this respect. The grain/legumes we feed to these farmed animals would feed the world's population many times over. The Amazon rain forest is disappearing because of westerners meat comsumption. Bulls seaman is collect by human hands with the use of what is effectively an electrified dildo. Dairy cows are artificially impregnated year after year. Her babies taken away from her so they cant bond and the baby won't take its mothers milk. Because lets face it, humans want it. Until finally, her body falls apart and she goes to the meat industry. I apologise of this comes across wrong, I am passionate. But the truth needs to be heard, it is disturbing. 😷
