I think unless you medically have to eat through a tube, there is no need to turn all your food into a liquid. Keep the fiber, the textures, the mouthfeel, and the satisfaction of actually chewing your food. That's why you have teeth!

[@nandy178]

Exactly 😉

[@_tardigrade]

I always had an aversion to smoothies and purees and thought I was just weird. I even think oatmeal is better when not cooked to a porridge, but just with milk and jam without no prep. Watching some of these people consume smoothies everyday and in the amounts they do always puts me off. I'd rather chew my fruit than drink it.

[@emmakilburg9221]

Plus is so much more emotionally satisfying to eat half a banana, a cup of blueberries, 10 strawberries, 2 cups of spinach, and a cup of almond milk than to just drink it! It would be difficult to eat all of that food on its own, because lots of times the potion sizes on smoothies are huge! There is nothing wrong with smoothies necessarily, for some people they can be really great, but you don’t need to be drinking them at every meal

[@HolldollMcG]

@@emmakilburg9221 agreed! Chewing good is also important for oro-motor strength. It can be a much richer and more rewarding experience to chew your food. Smoothies aren't bad, but they aren't necessary and should be a sometimes treat.

[@the80386]

Vegans prefer smoothies because lack of nutrients cause their teeth to become weak.

Christine Tirpak nah man watch the vid, she talks about how she cleaned her body, soul, mind morality, and her impurity left her brown eyes turning them hazel. It was actually horrifying and implied everyone with brown eyes is sick somehow lol also I’m pretty sure the diet thing has more to do with “brightness, clarity, shine” not like straight up natural color changes, that’s usually more genetic.

No she isn't, she's known as the opposite... She's known as being similar to this idiot who has fooled you into watching her videos... She's not fit... She's not healthy... She's blah... Just like this mental case who just can't stop saying protein, but at the end of her video says that Kristina's diet had plenty of protein. She talks about not getting enough fiber from that juice but then says she got too much fiber from a salad. Really... Dumb as a rock, cranking out views and getting paid by YOU to lie to YOU from YOU watching ads. Grow a pair... Of hemispheres in your skull.

[@CitiesSkyGay]

@@gffff68u we'll leave Abbey Sharp, a registered dietician, to be the judge of that

[@gffff68u]

@@CitiesSkyGay did you read past where I was talking about unnatural vegan? Where I described how Abbey legitimately is lying and double speaking. How she says Kristina is not getting enough protein, then at the end says she got plenty. How she says that she is not getting fiber because she had juice in the morning then says that she got too much fiber. How she says that oil is healthy when in actuality it raises cholesterol levels and coagulates blood. The funny thing about dieticians is that they are paid by unhealthy and nutritionally ignorant people to give them information. Key word = paid. The only way they are paid is if people continue being unhealthy, and that is what her advice does, it tricks people into believing her when she says 2 contradicting statements in all of 5 minutes. Also, where are her credentials, I didn't see them. Listen to what she actually said in the video, then come back to me and respond. Think for yourself, don't "let Abbey" a person on KZbin getting paid by you by you watching her video, be a judge of anything. Look up a great website called nutrtionfacts.org where they give actual information and cite studies rather then giving opinion with no facts to back it up.

[@katiedavis6635]

While I enjoy Kristina’s videos and recipes, I also really appreciate this video. I first went vegan 3 years ago and I was the healthiest I’d ever been. I was eating intuitively, not restricting myself, and listening to my body. I was doing really well! Then, I started following youtubers like High Carb Hannah, Freelee, Fully Raw Kristina, and so on - and my relationship with food became very unhealthy. I was doing high carb low fat, high fat low carb, raw vegan, constantly creating small lists of foods that I’m “allowed” to eat. These diets can be helpful, but they are often very expensive or unattainable. I would often mess up with such restrictive eating plans, leading to guilt. I learned about juice fasting and while it started out healthy, I stopped being able to tell when I was hungry and when I was full after coming back to solid food. I never felt satiated. I started using juice fasting to “detox” when I had eaten something not on my list. I went through phases of counting calories and being really restrictive, failing, fasting, and then eating a lot because I never felt full. I am only just recovering and learning how to eat a balanced vegan diet for my body again. I think that videos like these are really important. Yes, veganism can be incredibly healthy & successful, but we still need balance. Eating enough protein has been extremely beneficial in my overall wellness.

[@cmisis14]

Kate Flowers is a much better depiction of a healthy raw diet. Although she herself admits eating raw is totally unnecessary and very expensive. I'm vegan but I definitely don't eat raw. I could never afford it. I spend a max of $60 a week on food.

[@meliscucen8674]

Casey Mullen why does she eat raw then?

[@cmisis14]

@@meliscucen8674 She doesn't seem to all the time now. In her videos it looks like she goes back and forth between eating raw and cooked foods. I think she said that she personally just finds that she feels her best eating mostly raw and that she finds it easier to manage her weight that way. I know she's working on another cooked food e-book now though, so because of that she's eating more cooked foods than she normally would. She seems a lot more flexible with her diet than most raw vegans I've come across, which I think it's a good mindset to have.

Ms dietitian addressed those criticisms, adjusted how she commented on the eating habits of others and took responsibility for her hiccup in stride.

[@AutumnBates]

So true about the extremes. I see this more often with my clients that they are so confused as to why they don't feel good - even though they are eating only vegetables and doing HIIT workouts everyday - when in reality, you can OVERDO the "clean eating" and exercise as well. It's something I talk a lot about on my channel because I don't think it's discussed enough in the health field yet. Thanks for bringing that up!

Kristina is awesome. She has not only had a food coop but now grows her own food. I’d say that is economically beneficial. She has always been budget conscious in regards to going about adding more raw food to your diet. How is a set of rules if you are eating everything grown from nature alone? Seems more like what is meant to be. Kristina is a positive influence and she never puts anyone else down as a means to promote herself.

[@TheXfams]

@@AbbeysKitchen It's a person's preference how much dressing they like. What does that matter? Some people like a lot of sauce on their pasta, some only like a drizzle. If you like less dressing, put less, and save the rest for later (eat it as a soup, or put it in a bowl with some nuts, and whatever else you fancy). She's suggested this in plenty of her other videos. Also, to TayukiVlogs... Many of her soups and smoothies can be anything from a smoothie, to a soup, to a "cereal", sauce for noodles, as well as dressing. It's not laden with processed sugars and salts so you can eat away, but it will go bad quicker. So use it quickly. (Note: the more preservatives something has the longer it takes to digest. Not everything, i.e. honey, grains, beans, dried goods, which are naturally preserved, but it's a general rule of thumb with prepared foods, like MacDonald's, or Twinkies lol)

She gave me pamphlets and advice. when i applied the items from the list in the pamphlet - my iron levels went up...my B12 levels leveled out....everything leveled out. my problem with other vegans is that they dont go to a doctor and get help with it. Vegans NEED the advice and help of a doctor and NOT a "vegan guru" - I now cook my vegan foods as well as go raw on occasion....i also stopped mono-mealing. i like to binge on vegan buttered pop corn from time to time or vegan marshmallows....but there comes a time when you just need to have a balance....that is true for any "diet" out there. i had a hard time in the beginning with undereating that way and not spending the $$ for it was expensive....so i started to cook vegan and it saved me financially.

I realized if I ever went vegan again and even now that I need to make sure I'm eating enough protein. I've learned on my weight loss journey that though lentils are higher in calories, I feel really good eating them. Mushrooms and lentils are staples and help me stay full with all the protein and fiber. I find I can eat quite a bit of fiber with not many problems, but that is just me. It's just learning what's good for your own individual body and being mindful of what you're eating. :-)

[@Fanatikxs]

Hi Abbey - First video of your's I have seen. I am a whole food plant based vegan and enjoy Kristina's content. That being said, I found this review and analysis extremely well balanced, and thoroughly refreshing from the typical "fad fare" we see on KZbin these days. I agree with most of your points, with a couple of notes. I do believe from data and personal experience, that the RDA for fiber is too low, I think 40g-70g is ideal once you transition to plant-based. I also believe that we can get easily enough protein from plants and that adding animal foods reduces the overall nutritional value of the diet and opens us up to other health issues. In small doses though, I can see animal products being an option for some people, just very small amounts as part of a plant-based diet. I also believe that evidence shows that most people are deficient in B12, vegan or not, and D3 is based largely on sunlight exposure to skin and supplementation, not animal foods consumption, so again, not only applicable to vegans. I do supplement both. Overall, great video, and I look forward to more.

[@mariesoleil1922]

it clearly works for her, you have to take into account that she does lives in a warm country and exercises a lot. She also made it her life. Its ideal, but not realistic for everyone that is so true. it is sad that fruits and vegetables are so expensive. It is also sad that convenience, fast, compact and easy is the goal for most people. What she does that is great is that she makes eating vegetables looks fun and super delicious. She is inspiring... even if you don't copy her diet. She actually advocate that if she makes people eats more veggies in their day, they have done well.

I love Kristina💕 She really insires me to eat more vegetables and her channel is just such positive vibration. Thanks for your review too especially the tip of not juicing so much or making smoothies too much and eating the food as whole.. Anyway thanks for the review🌸

[@aryakareem9411]

I’m a vegan and i’m agree with you. Kristina’s diet is not sustainable for everyone. I also dislikes several youtubers who went to the extreme of veganism until it became unapproachable. This makes becoming vegan as a big burden when it’s actually not that hard. Thankyou for bringing this topic under the spotlight.

[@nourishingelements]

I don’t think she eats all that. Does she say that she does? I’ve been a raw vegan for 25 years. I was very very ill when I started. At first I was very hungry because I was so sick. Over time as my body healed I needed less and less food. I tried Cooked plant based healing diets before and always felt hungry. The raw fruits and veggies have life force, (enzymes) and all the nutrients are in tact. Not killed by heat. So my body was finally getting fed and I didn’t need as much food. So I eat mostly fruit and salads, definitely not as big as Kristina, if she actually eats that. I don’t think she does. I think she’s just showing people that you can make beautiful food and share it with others, that’s what I imagine. All I know is that eating organic raw fruits and vegetables for 25 years now has saved my life and I’m so grateful to have found this life style. Our digestive system is closest to a monkeys digestive system and they eat 80% fruit. Meat eaters have short systems and lots of stomach acid. We have long digestive systems so meat takes way to long to go through us. Also, it’s true our bodies detox but with all the toxins were exposed to everyday, either because of the environment or because of poor life style choices, the bodies ability to detox can get over loaded and then toxins accumulate the sometimes creates a situation where the body can no longer release them. This creates disease. The people are more sick now than anytime in history. So no, people aren’t detoxing and we need to help it sometimes. Juicing and raw food are an amazing way to do that. I know not everyone is read to go raw I over night. It’s not even a good idea for many. But we need to slowly go more towards nature for healing. Plants will heal you up. Not dead flesh. Also the protein myth has been pushed on us by the big meat industries. Cancer feeds on cooked proteins . Raw seeds and nuts are a good source of healthy fats and protein. There’s also enough protein in fruits and veggies.

[@NicolesNaturals]

I hear dietitians and doctors say all the time that we don't need to do detox diets because our livers and kidneys already do a good job of "detoxifying" harmful chemicals, pollution and other toxins from our air, water, food and environment. These organs do a good job when the person is healthy and eats a healthy diet. Millions of people in this country eat a horrible diet, they drink polluted water, slather their skin with all sorts of chemicals and don't forget we live in an extremely polluted world. It didn't used to be this bad hundreds of years ago, so our livers and kidneys are NOT doing as good of a job because they are over loaded and can only handle so much. The liver and the kidneys will only work well if they are given the proper nutrients and aren't overloaded with chemicals that can hinder the important work they do everyday. Just like if you eat pounds of sugar every day; day after day, year after year, your poor pancreas is going to poop out and stop working like it used to. Detox "diets" can be harmful if done incorrectly, but our bodies DO NOT do a good job of detoxifying themselves if we are shoving in junk food and exposing ourselves to so many chemicals and pollution that they can't keep up. There's nothing wrong with "detoxing" ourselves of sugar, white flour, preservatives, alcohol, smoking and other crap while eating more fruits and vegetables, and taking certain herbs that can help these organs work better. That's a proper detox. Other than that, I agree with everything else you said in the video. Cheers!

Its $20/day to eat raw vegan. A regular healthy vegan diet is very affordable

[@AbbeysKitchen]

For sure!

[@gffff68u]

It's $20 for Kristina. She only eats organic. It's much easier and cheaper if you be it around cheap fruits like bananas. 39¢ a pound. One meal of bananas can be cheaper than $2.

[@dexterlacroy4132]

Depending where you live and if you grow some own stuff. It's expensive if you live in Alaska, not so much in Hawaii or Laos.

[@lunalove9395]

depends on who you're asking. as a student no way could i afford to spend $20 a day on food. more like £20-£30 a week.

Can you review what happened to Bonny Rebecca, in your opinion?

[@isabel3857]

[@megan7086]

Short answer: she went to a naturopath instead of an actual medical doctor, and her “dietician” wasn’t an actual RD because the word dietician is not protected in Australia like it is in the US.

[@sowhat...]

@@megan7086 yea a medical doctor is sooo knowledgeable when it comes to diet 🙄🤦 good one 😂🤣

[@megan7086]

sowhat A medical doctor can diagnose a medical problem, the RD would be to address her diet. When the naturopath tells her she has a “parasite” and “candida” there’s a problem.

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

Lentils and legumes are extremely cheap when purchased in its dried form. The canned type costs a bit more and usually contains citric acid as a preservative. It is better to prepare from the dried source and just freeze it for later.

[@TheShadowBee]

And instant pots make the cooking process easy and quick. You don't even need to pre-plan a soak, and you can cook them with salt and aromatics from the start and make them really flavourful. They cook from dried on under an hour. Sorry for the advertisement, it's just one of my favorite purchases of all time, just for how much it upped my bean game.

[@KuroAneSan]

The other bad thing about juicing is that your jaw is not working (which make you spend energy doing so) and you don't use your saliva to start breaking down the food. And I don't think chugging this much liquid at a time is good for your system.

Although i love fully raw kristina and her diet, i do agree with abby that it most likely only works for kristina and a small majority of people. Most of the population would not be able to do it. But i like how fully raw kristina only asks people to include one raw meal a day. I feel like she just helps people see the variety of raw foods you can make.

[@joseph233382]

The issue with many plant based fats is the ratio of omega 6 fatty acids that is not good for you . Where in nature can you get Tahini

[@nicolinamaria]

If you'd follow Kristina for a longer period, you'd know better. If you do proper food combining on a raw vegan diet, there is not such thing as bloating (except for the first few days of transitioning). She has enough vitamin b12 and she gets enough vitamin D from the sun, as she tests her blood regularly. These large amounts are what you need to get enough calories and you can adopt to these portion sizes. Not saying that her diet is the healthiest either, but it works for her. I also eat mostly raw vegan, but slightly different from hers. Daily recommended standards are based on what the average person is eating, but who says that 'average' is the best way to go?

[@kimberlyfisher2166]

Right!! Not to mention the amount of exercise she does every day..

[@satan9487]

i watch a lot of vegans who eat normally and i prefer smoothies but most just have a glass in the morning, you cant convince me that a whole fucking jug is anywhere near healthy.

[@katgood5459]

Can someone genuinely explain to me why a lot of vegans don't like eating/using oils like olive oil, avocado oil etc. Just curious

[@vaughn2277]

It isn't really a vegan issue, because oils don't go against the vegan ideology of abstaining from the consumption and purchasing of animals and animal products, but many vegans are very health-concerned. Although oils like extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil are nutritious and healthy in moderation, it's a common misconception in the vegan community that all oils and refined foods are toxic and will give you heart disease and diabetes. Most of this information has been spread by vegan "leaders" and doctors such as Dr. McDougall, even though we know that it is in fact untrue and oils are completely safe to eat, especially when you are just using a couple teaspoons in a decent batch of food.

[@makeupbykaelin]

There’s a distinct subset of vegans that follow the high carb, low fat structure that Freelee the banana girl popularized (sort of). Oil is a fat. So HCLF discourages the use of oils.

[@food_for_your_skin]

I eat raw for a couple of weeks now and track my food with an app and I get around 60 grams of protein in every day with my greens and my vegetables, so I'm very saturated! Didn't loose any weight so far as I eat at least 2400 kcal a day. Just eat more, then you will feel great and full!

[@Magnulus76]

I'm not a fan of raw vegan diets, mostly because they are expensive and unnecessary, but it's a healthier way to eat than what most Americans are eating. The average human body only needs 35-60 grams of protein a day to stay in a state of positive nitrogen balance. It's a complete myth you have to eat 100g+ of protein per day. In most people that does nothing except create excess ammonia and urea which can harm your organs over time, especially the kidneys. Chlorophyl rich foods do help your body detox heavy metals. Especially algae. Maybe her portions are excessive, but people could benefit from regularly consuming such foods.

[@danasopt8530]

Too many veggies are bad for you? No protein in vegetables? You're a dietician? Im not a raw vegan fan, but the vegan diet when appropriately planned can be very nutritionally sufficient.

[@AbbeysKitchen]

it definitely can, but I don't agree with the portion sizes and the imbalance

[@nicole3469]

Who looks healthier between fully raw Kristina and abbey? I think Kristina looks more radiant and she’s more positive. I feel like she would be better spending her time critiquing someone who’s unhealthy. This seemed very based on the food pyramid and I guess if you want to be the typical unhealthy American follow the basic food pyramid. If you want to be a vibrant human rainbow follow Kristina’s tips.

[@scarletdragon4696]

I disagree, bc she started this to heal herself and I'm glad she shared it with us. I tried it for 2 weeks and it helped me so much, Just wanted to see what would happened. Anyways just listened to your body and see how it reacts. I eat everything because I can and no it's not expensive. The hospital is more expensive and the food generally given there well you decide. She's also helping us in areas about planting and doing what we can to eat better. All these people trash talking it's sick and toxic. I wish that instead every one can find some how a way to improve the world. Find and use the good and dispose the bad

[@gwendolynburns1456]

I am SO glad you’re putting out these videos. I only wish I’d seen them sooner.
