Easy Sustainable Weight Loss With a Plant Based Diet with Plantiful Kiki

[@mowthpeece1]

Finally Kiki gets the credit she deserves. Her channel is fabulous! And she's so true to the McDougall diet, she deserves the attention. McDougall isn't just for older people.

[@cindraamundsen2197]

I love Kiki! She is so down to earth and relatable! Thank you Chef AJ!

So happy to see Plentiful Kiki on your channel! I would love to see you interview The Mommy Vegan! She lost 70 pounds on the starch solution and is an amazing KZbinr! Love watching your channel AJ!!

It’s awesome to hear Kiki talk about her whole journey. I admire and love everything she does. She has helped me so much! ❤️

[@kristinLB]

I love Kiki. Her home is so pretty, her mountain lifestyle is fun, and I was surprised to learn she is in her late 30’s and has two kids and has been married for 17 years. This was a great interview....seeing a more candid side of Kiki.

"Preparation trumps motivation" I've been in a real slump. I needed to hear this today! Thank you so much chef AJ... you continue to be there when I need you. Seriously love YOU and kiki ... SO MOTIVATING, WHEN THERE IS NONE

[@bekind3415]

Yay 2 of my favs Chef AJ & kiki. kiki is where it started for me when i 1st subscribed to her channel a year ago she had 3000 subscribers then she blew up . ❤

[@michellehashish5341]

Yes! It was watching kiki's YT channel that made me go I can do this. Kiki's meals/recipes are so simple I wasn't overwhelmed. I knew I could easily prepare and cook these meals, plus they are tasty. Particularly when I am the only plant based person in my family. Slowly introducing more plant based only meals to my family, but slow process so I don't have a mutiny on my hands.

[@rebeccafelton3151]

Love her so much! It was a God send when I found her. She got me back on track after letting family influence my eating. I knew better and was feeling sooo bad about myself, un healthy , overweight!! Never again!!! Watched all her videos and chef AJs. High carb Hannah. Keeps me motivated. Love you all and thank you for all you do!! I owe you my health ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jamiesdoll9638]

Haha. Kiki style "Efficient, not lazy! So love it!!! " She follows your lead AJ! 😘😊🥰

[@supkika]

I love her philosophy with her kids, too! At the end of the day it just shows that she CARES more than she is willing to give in to their requests

[@sonnithehungryyogi4458]

Chef AJ- I am a recent subscriber and I ordered 3 medium bottles of the balsamic (teriyaki, habernero, and ginger) and they sent 2 samples (fig and pear). I am kicking myself for not getting the large bottles. They are amazing!!! Thank you for all the information you provide on here. I am so thankful I found your channel and am planning on starting today April 1st. And not as a joke haha. I have wanted to start for a while and have but keep falling off the wagon. I am going to try this way of eating and living for 30 days and I think your channel will help keep me on track. Thank you!

[@healthyandfitafter50]

I love the honesty about being an ethical vegan. My husband and I are beginners at plant based life. We are learning so much from both of you

[@cindymillion5485]

Coming from a vegan mom of two kids, I love Kiki's advice on parenting vegan kiddos when it comes to healthy eating -- thank you! I now say to my kids, "Kiki's kids eat this, so let's give it a try!" I'm really excited for your new book!

[@carolynhill7726]

I love all of Plantiful Kiki's cookbooks. I had overcomplicated my plant based eating and she helped me find the joy and simplicity of it again.

[@sherriepiechowski4556]

Sherrie here- this was one of my favorite podcasts guests you have had. She was the first plant based influencer that my daughter introduced me to (she has been vegan for 3 years)and I became hooked because she made it feel normal..

[@maymanookian4370]

I love Kiki! I love her attitude towards health and food. Her growth mindset is inspiring and joy are contagious. BTW, I bought the earth runner sandals she loves and they are amazing for walks and hikes after the break-in period (a couple of days and strap adjustments).

[@ericabuie88]

I love the way you both explain the concept of calorie density. I’m really glad you had Kiki on the show because her KZbin channel has inspired and helped me so much.

Kiki!!! My girl. Please get her e-book if you haven’t. Do it! Impulse buy it. We have made every recipe in it. I cook from it often, and I’ve been collecting cookbooks since the 1980s. (I’m actually making three recipes from it tonight! Her jalapeño loaf is actually the best bean loaf I’ve made, and I was raised around a community of vegetarians.) Awww. I’m so excited she’s here! ❤️

I love this interview...thank you chef AJ. It makes me so happy to realise there are people like yourselves who are contributing to animal welfare by enjoying them but NOT as food. Also no need for alcohol. You can feel good by being plant based and clean from the inside out 😊❤

[@noellecuisine8912]

Lovely interview thank you so much for this one too ! And as a six-year whole food plant-based lover, I think it is so much going for the long term for the lifestyle, and so being patient and not wanting to lose too fast is a very good one too, and it really works because you can slowly and little by little as you understand more and more and as you are more and more settled in an easy wonderful routine go in the fine details and find your way to have the best energy and the most wonderful silhouette!

In case anybody who listened is curious, you definitely do not have to wear goose down items, used or new, in a cold climate such as Colorado. There are many lightweight and warm alternatives these days. I live in Montana which is much colder than Colorado and am outside most every morning throughout the winter without wearing goose down.

[@frautay]

She’s getting them second hand, so she’s putting something already in the universe to good use by repurposing.

[@Elizerinc]

@@frautay Yes, you are right. I also wear second hand. I just meant that there are alternatives for people who live in cold climates. I didn't realize the items were not purchased new. Been a long time since I watched the video.

Omg I watch Kiki all the time I have been doing wfpb I haven’t lost too much weight and this is so eye opening with the peanut butter and avocado ... I’ve been so hesitant on letting those go thinking for sure I could still lose weight.

[@Mimulus2717]

I have been WFPB for several years, and was not losing weight....until I cut out the nuts, olives, oil and avocado. Even now, eating low calorie density the weight coming off very slowly...like 1-2 pounds a month...but at least I am off the plateau. Don't compare yourself to others who have more dramatic losses, everyone has a different journey. Enjoy yours.
