Love to see this! Last September kicked off a journey where now I’m 99% plant based and I dropped 100lbs.

[@sonja4164]

Congratulations 🎊🎉❤

[@ttuck6768]

How is it going

[@officialbabygrim]

I started the plant-based journey yesterday and for the first time I slept for like 11 hours. Your body keeps the score!

[@lorin9489]

He is an empathetic and eloquent speaker. His story is an inspiration!

[@aprilracine]

Veganism is definitely growing in Detroit. I’ve been Vegan for 7 years now and I’m loving it 🥰. I appreciate you sharing your story.

[@RiDankulous]

Joel Kahn and David Katz are vegan doctors there and have youtube videos.. I'm not into supplements but Joel Kahn sells some. Other than that he is great to listen to on KZbin videos. He owns a vegan restaurant somewhere in that area.

[@robinsaxophone232]

I remember being in that rut. Your story reminds me to stay on track with a whole food plant based lifestyle. Congratulations! You look great!

[@RiDankulous]

Yes, inspiring, to stay on WFPB diet plus in other areas of life.

[@smilebot484]

i recommend watching all the great documentaries and channels on youtube to keep on track

[@micamcready4542]

Omg look at him glowing after that transformation. This is so motivating and inspiring. 🎉

[@camlendrim7609]

Congratulations. You have showed that one’s journey towards improved health starts with a sincere decision and willingness to change our choices in life. You are a great role model. 👌

[@Cartiear]

That means a lot to me! Thank you!!!

Just found Goggins, he’s the jump start I needed…congrats Vegan Guy!!!!

[@araimm227]

Was too lazy to drop 50 pounds but last 4 months I listened to him and run/walk 5 miles every night! Now on 170Lb getting there for my 6” hight💪! He is a legend!

[@MJ-ib7iq]

@@araimm227 That’s amazing, I’m happy foe you…I’m currently doing P90x and eating better…it’s definitely just about showing up even though some days we don’t feel our best.

That was amazing and inspirational! 👏🏾 I have been vegan for almost 6 yrs and the pandemic had me eating alot of vegan junk food, and not feeling my best. This makes me remember my why...which is my health!

[@tinker651]

Saaamee!! Hope it's still going good for you!!

[@bohditony]

Some people say it’s compensation that drives progress. The truth is it’s more the love for another above yourself that stimulates invention & therefore progress

[@iuliaionelapetcu1411]

Stunning progress! I really appreciate you documenting this from the start and also presenting the tough parts. The whole effort was worth it, you really come across as a person who's in a better place, you even look younger :)

He reminds me so much of Gee Bryant. He’s the first influencer that I was really inspired by in the vegan community.

[@Salamander407]

Plant based now 5 months, 54 lbs down. Haven't felt better in my life, but already going to comments like, are you okay? And, isn't plant-based a fad? Ugh!!! Haters. Great interview!!!

[@dawnshimmerglow2259]

thank you for sharing your story! please never give up on being vegan, bless your soul for being a wonderful role model and stepping up to talk about your experience.

[@lookingforthetruth8478]

Wow, amazing! So happy for you, proud of you & glad that your happy. You look amazing, I hope each day gets better and better, I've realized when I come across people who don't eat animals, the life force of another sentient being, their whole being is brighter, kinder, and i believe they are able to think deeper. I don't know what it is, but my conversations with other vegans are deeper and more meaningful, I'm not knocking anyone, just my experience.

[@Ev3_6]

What a beautiful and inspiring story! I am vegan for health as well and you are exactly the voice I am looking for in an influencer. Thank you for providing an inspiration to others.

[@MindVersusMisery]

You eat a plant based diet for health... Veganism is a lifestyle that seeks to exclude animal exploitation, so veganism is not only diet. It entails boycotting fur, leather, wool, silk, down, hunting, fishing, and using animals as entertainment.

[@bengilkes7676]

I'm wondering if you use toiletries tested on animals and wear fur/leather?

[@jamiebishop9512]

Great story, I am sure a lot of people can relate to his struggles.

[@robsengahay5614]

I love how humble he is. This must have been really tough and needed massive amounts of willpower and single-mindedness to get where he got to. I am sure it is easier now as the old cravings have probably all but gone.

[@1Candysweets]

This is awesome. I need all the inspiration I can get. I've been struggling for years.

[@NaMe-ku4cl]

You too can do it! I wish you success! 🦋🦋🦋

[@smilebot484]

watch all the great documentaries out there. get your mind convinced completely and then it becomes easy. game changers, forks over knives, what the health, etc etc. also watch dr fuhrman, dr gregor, etc again and again. simon hill, rich roll, etc. there's so much great influence out there. all the best. you can do it!

[@lornamatty3348]

Love this story and a great example of what can happen when one has a purpose. Yes eating a vegan diet was one part of his success, but another key reason for his success was HOW he was eating i.e intermittent fasting and would love to know how he discovered this.

[@smilebot484]

intermittent fasting is a widely known hack

[@Frenchblue8]

This was a great testimony a great heartfelt honest story that Cartier was so generous to share with us. His success and the improvement in his health are wonderful things and put out an amazing message that there's hope for everybody. The only thing I would say is regarding terminology really. There's no such thing as being vegan for health. The word vegan only has to do with the animals or what Cartier referred to as"vegan for ethics". Ethics is really what veganism is about it's about the the choice not to contribute to the atrocities that humans commit against animals by the billions and trillions really if you include sea animals, each and every year. By the same token, there's no such thing as being vegan for the environment either. So the the term one would want to use would be plant-based or plants only. But vegan is only about the animals

One of my best investments was getting a 3rd dog. Why? He’s excited daily to go walking. I used to walk with no knowledge of how far. I invested in Fitbit watches(brought 3 overtime) Now I do no less than 2 to 2.5 miles at 7 am. My dogs now act as my alarm clock, from barking at 6 am to barking again at 5:30 pm…yes walk twice & in between time I pi-utter in a hour at the gym

Red lentils can work as a makeshift alarm because youll get up to go at about tbe right time, love them

[@jedmaple]

He says it was an addiction which I agree, but it was an addiction facilitated by the lies and obfuscation of the truth by the manufacturers and our own governments who also see profits as a measurement of success. I eat WFPB because I enjoy the flavor. I guess I'm really addicted to good food. Some people say sweets are a treat. For me now a treat is wearing summer clothes that make me look good and not sweating like I've just run a marathon. And then I can enjoy some plant based treats. Life is good.
