[@Just-Darcy]

Oh my goodness I LOVE this topic! I’ve struggled with an eating disorder and still struggle with the vegan community not acknowledging how unhealthy relationships with food can really hurt people.

[@NikkiVegan]

Darcy thanks Darcy! I’m sorry you’ve struggled in the past, I know it’s not easy 💚 sending lots of love your way!

[@sarosen5731]

I feel like going vegan has really helped me with my relationship with food because since I eat a much more balanced and healthy diet, I don’t end up binging at the end of the day :) great topic loved this video

[@Angel-qd5rs]

“Turning off the external turning on the internal” I love that...I’ve been a strict vegan for years now and this made me wake up to all of the ridiculous things and rules I tell myself. Great video!❤️

[@NikkiVegan]

SO happy to hear that Angela!

[@breejeanne]

My relationship with food in my teens and early twenties was rough..binging and purging constantly. When I became pregnant at 25 everything changed (thankfully) and I found the vegan/ plant based way of living. Now at 30 it is so much better and more balanced. It's not always perfect, there are definitely days when I struggle mentally, but I have little eyes watching and little ears listening, so I do my best to be a good role model for him.

[@DanicaB]

Thank you so much for talking about this subject !! My relationship with food has not always been great, I’ve struggled a lot and I used to get into really bad pattern of obsessing over my weight, over exercising and binge eating... Now I am much better. I love that veganism allows me to eat an abundance of delicious food ! I also love to work out now, over all I feel much healthier inside and outside and I have so much more energy. Thank you for talking about this 💕

[@NikkiVegan]

Danica B I’m so glad that you’re feeling mentally and physically healthier/stronger 🙌 I can relate to that for sure 💚💚💚 I feel the same about veganism, it’s given me so much peace

[@DairyStateVegan]

Such a great topic! As a recovering yo-yo dieter I super appreciated this whole concert and the science behind it! I had no idea about the enzymes preparing while you are cooking! Makes so much sense! I always feel lousy after eating in a restaurant! Now I know why! I’m 8 months pregnant right now so being very careful with what I feed my body and I’m looking forward to having this baby and eating intuitively after he’s here in order to nourish my body and make sure it produces really healthy milk for him!!! No joke, I put meals in my day planner. As a Realtor my schedule is bananas. I need to plan out meal time or I forget to eat.

[@NikkiVegan]

Dairy-State Vegan I thought that was so interesting too! Makes so much sense 💚 so glad you liked this episode

[@shannoncarrico2211]

This hit me on such a deep level - thank you for posting this!

[@jcflute]

Love this guest!!! Her perspective is on 🔥

[@NikkiVegan]

jcflute2017 she’s the best 🙌 so glad you liked this episode ☺️💚

[@thiakantner9724]

I think right now I am more in a cycle of withhold/indulge. I am just not "hungry" through the day, then come to supper and I'm starving and eat a ton. I am going to try to set timers for when I need to eat and spend my 30 seconds before and after to know myself a bit better. Thanks guy! This was a great topic and something I needed. 💕

[@r.c.whitaker296]

I would not presume to give advice to you,as I am not a nutritionist or anything. But... that worked for me! I used to wait too long to eat, and I would be very grumpy and have a headache, and then eat too much. Now that I eat on a schedule (it's not rigid) I feel better, have fewer mood swings, and my reflux 🔥 is gone.

[@hannemart9210]

My dog's name is also Sprout!!! He is 6 years old and I rescued him from an animal snare trap when he was 2 weeks old. Found him on a farm. He's a Greyhound Terrier mix 😁 much love from South Africa!

[@NikkiVegan]

Hannemart Louw that’s so cool!!! And awesome that you’re watching from South Africa! Sending lots of Cali love your way too ☀️✨

[@anitaabeyta5373]

This is such an amazing topic. I love the fact that you tackle food relationships. My family is transitioning from vegetarian to vegan but re-evaluating what our goals, and what our relationship with food are. This would make a GREAT Ted talk.

[@TheVeganView]

Thank you!! We loved this episode too! Such an interesting concept ☺️💚 glad you enjoyed it!

[@toridanielle333]

i could listen to this topic for HOURS. great episode!

[@NikkiVegan]

Tori Flot me too!! We had to cut ourselves off because we could have talked all day. So interesting. Glad you enjoyed it Tori 💚💚💚

[@vero8706]

I adore all your guys videos but this one was so incredibly helpful!!! You need to have her back!!!!

[@alwaysneed2learn806]

I really appreciate that you are using your influence to spread positive messages about eating intuitively! Many kudos to you all! I struggled with such a severe eating disorder that I had to be fed through a feeding tube (surgically inserted in my small intestine) for a full year. Surprisingly, I recovered completely and now eat intuitively. However, as a result of the damage I inflicted on my body I have to be MUCH more mindful of what/when I eat which is frustrating.

[@frankie9953]

Loved this video! After I went vegan I found myself eating cupcakes on a Tuesday just because there was a cupcake that was vegan! I never really did this before, it(cupcakes and things) had alway been more of a treat. It took a bit to figure out that to feel my best on a vegan diet I needed to eat healthy foods the majority of the time and to have those treats once in awhile, when I really wanted it, not just because it was there. That being said, it is awfully difficult to travel to places to LA and not eat ALL the vegan junk food because it's there and I know I wont get another opportunity to eat it! I'm looking at you Donut Friend!!

[@fishershawna]

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made yet! ☺️ I think I really needed to hear all these things you said right now. I’m really trying to be more intune with my own body and not listen to all the fads social media is showing. I’m really going to start trying to sit down with my food and actually enjoy it instead of hurrying up and eating and getting to my next task for the day.

[@jozeew3130]

I really needed this video, I’ve started noticing bad habits in my relationship with food that I’ve been ignoring for a while. Thank you guys ❤️

[@jorgethecoach]

lol at 20:18 Nisha blowing Nicole’s mind 🤯😂🤙🏼 (cool stuff!)

[@r.c.whitaker296]

This is excellent stuff 👍 I agree that eating on a schedule helps many of us to feel healthier. And allowing for treats is essential.

[@NikkiVegan]

so essential! good for the soul :) hope you're having a good day so far! thanks for your comments

[@naomijaneartworks34]

Loved this talk...so comforting to hear you discuss this subject. You talk about using the excuse that we're vegan to eat junk food..for me it's to eat big portions. Because it's healthy I can eat huge bowls of food which continually keeps me in a cycle of guilt. And I just can't eat around other people, even those I love...I have a complete mental block with this. It's like I have to hide to eat....really struggling with this....

[@brianamart8]

You guys should do podcasts occasionally, especially with talks like these!

[@johannalackfi7456]

First comment yay! I love that you are touching on this very important topic! Thank you! 😍🧚‍♀️🌱

[@NikkiVegan]

Johanna Lackfi thank you!! I’m happy you liked it 💚💚💚

[@Simplyjessxo]

Such a great episode! I loved the way she explained the different body parts, I've never been able to figure mine out and she made it so simple and straight forward

[@patty-cf7jj]

I recommend Kimberly Snyder’s book “The Beauty Detox Power” where she discusses cravings and how your emotions affect what you crave (crunchy, salty, etc.). She also says if you love body and nourish it from a place of love, instead of plotting and planning on how to make it skinnier it will respond with increased health, vitality and energy. This helped me because I realized I was addicted to the feeling of hunger. It was crazy. If I ever felt full or even just satisfied it triggered feeling depressed. Crazy!

[@gracecheatham9839]

Thank you ladies for all your hard I love watching your videos!! So helpful

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Grace!! I'm so glad you like our videos. That's so good to hear

[@konradehresman4140]

I love love loved this guest ❤️

[@ArlinAmelia]

This was so helpful!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that!

[@AshiyaWhitley-ShawVeganAthlete]

As odd as it MAY seem. I started noticing that I was binging on kale chips, even when I wasn't hungry.😑 I love salty/savory foods...and I LOVE THESE KALE CHIPS. While it may NOT seem like a big deal to some, they're dehydrated with a nooch and cashew "marinade", and easily 400 calories a container, a lot of sodium. I was eating around 4-5 containers per day, NOT including my actual meals. I went on my usual every quarter detox to get back on track. All is well. I only have them a few times/week. They're REALLY addictive!!!😬 They're so FREAKING delicious.😂

[@tiffroses]

Such a great video! Those 45 minutes flew by. Please make more like this, I NEED!!! Thanks for the content!!!!

[@NikkiVegan]

Tiffany Stanford thanks Tiffany! So nice to know that you liked this episode! I think this topic is fascinating

[@7300gina]

Good job ladies. I absolutely went crazy with vegan treats after going vegan. 😋 I’m back to normal now. 😄

[@NikkiVegan]

haha I went supper healthy, then super junky, and now I'm somewhere in the middle which makes me happy. I'm happy here :) glad you feel the same! Hope you're having a good day Gina!

[@7300gina]

Thanks Nikki, hope your having a good day too.

[@melissacondon]

Loved this topic! Thank you for sharing.

[@NikkiVegan]

Liss the Vegan thank you!! I’m glad liked this subject, I think it’s so important to talk about 💚💚

[@Mary-id2tz]

i just started this video but thank you for talking about this!

[@NikkiVegan]

thanks Mary! I'm so glad you liked it

[@muddy_spaghetti]

This is a really great video.

[@gabrielaherrera3665]

Great content girls, thank you.

[@KimannaN123]

this video should have a trigger warning for those with bad relationship with food just from the beginning when nisha talks about forgetting to eat, eating tiny meals is already so triggering.

[@NikkiVegan]

good to know! thanks for your input, we'll think about that next time

[@jayakumar9984]

thank you so much for inspiring me to go vegan I love you guys!

[@NikkiVegan]

THAT'S AWESOME!! How's it going so far?

[@jayakumar9984]

@@NikkiVegan amazing!! I'm SO HAPPY to not be hurting animals, and have never felt better!

[@CatherinStadele]

watched this while eating my lunch lmfaoooo I guess I shouldn't do that anymore hahaha

[@NikkiVegan]

lol I do it too!

[@jorgethecoach]

Pro tip: it’d be way more engaging for the intro to be 5 seconds of most entertaining/engaging segment of the video so we can feel even more enticed to watch the entire vid :)
