Litterally crying rn. Thanks for making this video I currently just got out of this toxic relationship. The people I used to surround myself with wood smoke weed and take acid every day. I’m glad to say that I never contributed the most to things that they did. And it was hard to be surrounded by those people and get healthy. I have always looked up and wanted to be a healthy person. I’m finally achieving that goal and watching your videos help me a lot! Thankyou for all you do ❤️ Amber

[@flaviaprazeres_]

For some time I thought I was losing my friends, thinking that something was wrong with me and I realized that I was changing for the better and my friends were just stuck with their old habits!! It is kinda sad but it is what it is.

[@HighCarbHannah]

that happened to me too! The good friends will stick around an support you :)

[@SarahWarman80]

That happened to me too.

[@Awdhah-]

Exactly! It's an opportunity to see who really cared about you. It could become shocking to know who really did & who didn't. But those who are with me in the past are still with me now even though we're different (non vegans). So, yeah it'll be sad & shocking only at first :)

[@patsy3809]

Ruth Martin don't promote fads on this website, it's disrespectful

[@eusouamarela]

same ! specially here in BH... (we are both from Brazil) all people want to on the weekends is drink all day !

[@kellie_y]

This is all true. When I was diagnosed with a brain tumer (thankfully benign) 2 yrs ago, I really stopped to think about my health environment and did a complete 180 degree in diet. I was a vegetarian for a long time and decided to commit to the vegan diet. How I prepared my food and what I purchsed did influence my mom, which I am so grateful for. Seeing someone else make changes can really encourage another person to make better and more critical choices about what they put into their body. We both eat very heathy whole foods meals and I have been exercising 5-6 days a week since my diagnosis and am in a much better place both physically and mentally. Environmental awareness is key for health success. Glad you're posting more of these talks Hannah.

[@HighCarbHannah]

thats amazing Kellie, good job, i wish you the best of health :)

[@lucythompson9040]

I wish you good health and luck!

[@DiaryofaFarmgirl]

I am a 50yr old mother of 6( aged 15 ,16,17,20,21,31) and a hubby and I stopped eating with them at meal time so I wasn't tempted to eat what they where.. I cleaned out one fridge just for me..I stopped watching tv (cause the food ads OH MY Gwad) after a year my 2 girls went vegetarian(YAY!!) and now 3 year on my hubby and sons are transitioning to a plant based life(YIPEE!) I have so far lost 62kilos(136 lbs)..my kids now walk 3 kilometres a day with me..So it is doable....just got to put yourself as a priority....totally love this video content very encouraging

[@Megleighpd]

I drink beer on the couch sometimes. I also, run 3X a week, lift weights, go hiking, and do yoga 3x a week. Balance, man.

[@Megleighpd]

Oh, also I'm vegan and I cook 90% of my meals.

[@HighCarbHannah]

Megleighpd balance matters too 😊

[@sarafritsch123]

Megleighpd Congratulations...

[@reemaw4003]

Megleighpd Ikr i can't quit ice cream but i do love carrots.

[@autumnrain7918]

Try "nice" cream. you may of heard of it before, but just in case all you do is take frozen bananas and blend them in a high speed blender or in a food processor. I like to add cocoa powder to make it chocolate, or puree some raspberries or strawberries and pour it over the top! It has a soft serve consistency and I find it zaps the ice cream craving 99% of the time! And it's super healthy and Super cheap! Ice cream for a summer breakfast? Can't beat it!

[@SixTurtle]

I am healthy and doing exercises, jogging, etc.. but I am doing this alone because I really find hard to meet people that are interested in doing the same. I know good people, but most of them are not vegan or vegetarian..don't want to exercise and drink or smoke :-( I tried to meet new people but doesn't seem so easy to find the "right" ones that like all that stuff all together. But at least I am able to do this by myself ;-)

[@staycalm8775]

SixTurtle I'm just like you .

[@jikkeas]

Maybe we can tell each other where we're from and then see if there are any people near? Then we can all meet new people with he same goals

[@marissa128]

It's hard when the common misconception is that all vegans only eat salads & fruit. I constantly Snapchat and IG story my food, and even my most meat eating friends/family will reach out to me and tell me how good it looks and that they want to try it. A lot of them can't believe what I'm eating is vegan and without oil- because it's so good. My husbands aunt is trying to go more vegan , and she reached out to me saying she was frustrated because she felt like all she was eating was salad. I said "oooooh girl let me come over....we're gonna make corn chowder, chili, broccoli cheddar rice, ice cream, potato fries, and you'll STILL lose weight" 😹

[@HighCarbHannah]

haha i know im always like "Come over for dinner!" We will show you how vegans really eat lol

[@mochabetty]

High Carb Hannah I sure wish I am come over and learn, I'm so clueless when it comes to this..

[@dianaott2662]

That's awesome you guys!!

Down 3.4 lbs on day 11 of the potato cleanse. 🥔🌱💪🏻 Consistency is key.

[@kara7054]

Well said!! I think changing your environment can also apply to the things you choose to watch, read, listen to, etc. which is why I'm subscribed to your channel! I've found that I feel so much better after cutting a lot of negativity out of my life (like the news/trashy tv, Facebook, etc.) and focusing more on the positive, and that my mental health has the biggest impact on my physical health/weight

[@HighCarbHannah]

very true!

[@seagreentangerine2065]

K Michelle - You've nailed it. I joined this channel because I know something needs to change and I wasn't exactly sure how to approach it. Hannah's words and your comment makes perfect sense.

[@debrakelly2500]

I've been hoping for the last 9 years that my husband would join me in eating a healthy vegan diet and being up for activities. Unfortunately, the healthier I get- the less healthy he becomes. The fridge is filled with meat, cheese, and the pantry is packed full of junk. He gets sicker every year and repeatedly scoffs at my vegan food. I'm at a loss. I'm so alone in wanting a healthy lifestyle. Thank God there are vegan KZbinrs like Hannah and wonderful vegan doctors writing books. It makes me feel less alone.

[@heathercollins8917]

Debra Kelly I'm in the same boat as you! All I can do is set a good example for my husband...

[@ryandg2008]

Debra Kelly I understand. my dad won't even let me eat around him. mom wants to change but she has to eat what he does. I have to live alone just to be healthy. it's rough:(

[@MarcieJ2000]

So true. My carnivorous husband is eating less and less meat by the week, just because of how I now eat (vegan)! He comes home with vegan food all the time now :)

[@nnejdee]

Hannah I've found your channel at the most pivotal part of my life. I'm overweight, have been struggling with infertility and am recovering right now from a ruptured tubal pregnancy. Long story short we are not to get pregnant now for 6 months and I have to make a change...I WANT to make a change. Ive been devouring your videos and soaking in a lot of inspiration from you. Just wanted to say thank you so much for helping to give me the bravery I need to start this new life. Much love 💛.

[@melissag8270]

nnejdee I just bought the book The Starch Solution! We got this!

[@nnejdee]

+Melissa G thanks!! I'll have to look into that one!!

[@melissag8270]

It's the book Hannah read before her weight loss journey and based her eating habits off of, glad you're gonna check it out! Got mine for 10$ on kindle 😄

[@thenewhope8171]

You can do it : )

[@wollpullischlagtalles9795]

I wish you all the best. I'll start over again, too - I've been on this lifestyle for three months in 2015, suddenly realizing that I am losing weight in a slow pace, then I got lost somewhere. So much has changed. But it is not complex. It is so simple with the right mindset! (I feel that a lot of us quit because we forget why we started really) You will do it!

[@sararenovato2530]

For all the moms out there. what she is saying is true. I'm a mom of three, and the plan was never to change my husband, or my kids AND me. I just changed me. then they followed me. I never spoke of changing anyone but me. which I think is Key*. I just said, I was doing a month challenge to eat vegetarian (which lead out family going vegan). And 2 weeks in, people wanted what I was eating. and now my family is planet base/vegan for over 2 years. All willingly, and now it's effecting our friends. have two other families starting to want and change their diet.

[@alexanderevans5574]

When I first went vegan at 16, I had my mum put vegan butter in the fridge, and years later after coming home from university, she was still regularly getting vegan butter instead of regular butter.

[@elizabethswift8762]

This is honestly so true. I'm 16 years old and live with my parents. Ever since I went vegan in the beginning of this year, my parents had started to eat way better and have even cut out certain types of meat. They're becoming so much healthier and it's such a good thing

[@apinchofkatie]

This is such a good message! When I went vegan, my mom gave me a shelf in the pantry and one in the fridge. I can't wait to move out since my best friend will move in with me, and then she'll be able to go vegan. ☺️

[@yoonminhope13]

This all makes so much sense. Now I must talk my introverted self into trying to reach out to new people. 😬

[@autumnrain7918]

Baby steps! Just being places where other like minded people are is the first step (the one I'm trying to accomplish as an introvert myself). Vegan or veg friendly markets/ cafes, popular trails or running paths etc. are great places for people to just get used to seeing your face and maybe say hi. ^_^

[@wheezyyo1250]

Thanks so much Hannah! I live in a small southern town and don't know anyone that is vegan, so I have to watch and listen to people online for help and Encouragement. Thanks for what you do, it really helps!

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

I haven't been struggling for the past 3 weeks because I finally followed your advice on adding MORE NON STARCHY VEGETABLES....OH MY GOD! I literally lost weight TOO fast. 10 lbs so far. From 125 to 115. It's insane that I've been vegan for 4 years and it's taken me this long to eat more actual vegetables LOLLL.... Thank you so much for your constant guidance and inspiration - that sounds cheesy af, but it's true. I've also been listening to Mr & Mrs Vegan about not eating sugary fruits in the morning, so that my body can actually burn fat instead of just using the fruit sugar. Besides oats, my main meal has been: Shitload of FROZEN VEGGIES (mixed veg, broccoli), 2 TBL brown rice, 2 TBL tofu for creaminess & or meatiness, 2 TBL beans, fresh sauteed onion & mushroom, nutritional yeast, lemon, pepper, salt, & topped with a little bottled balsamic reduction drizzled on top. HOLY SHIT. It's so good I never get tired of this meal. I LOVE YOU!

[@isabellat9742]

Hi Hannah! One day when I was searching for weight loss videos and I saw your very inspirational video based on your weight loss journey and i became SO INSPIRED. I have never felt confident with my body. Since I am only 12 years old and 160 pounds I knew that i NEEDED to make a change. I've always wanted to look good and feel good in a bikini for this summer, so i started my weight loss journey 6-6-17 (one day before i wrote this). My plan is too eat only one serving for every meal I eat, and get on my exercise equipment at home for 30 minutes a day not to overwhelm myself in the process and be too tired not to do anything. But anyways, thank you for being such an amazing inspiration to me, hopefully i didnt make this too boring lol❤️

[@sallysmith3684]

Good luck to you. I encourage you to never restrict your calories, or you will struggle with cravings and likely gain the weight back. Eating is a good thing, and fitness is it's perfect compliment. Don't be afraid to sweat hard 4-5 days a week. Your number one goal should be to speed up your metabolism which means eating on a regular schedule (before school, lunch, after school and dinner), exercising (4-5 days a week) and sleeping 8+ hours a night. Wake up, slowly drink 1 liter of water, wait 10 minutes, have a piece of fruit and sweat for 30-45 min. Watch TV, listen to music, make it happen. After your workout, drink another liter of water (only if you sweat a lot, otherwise drink a half a liter), wait 10 minutes and have breakfast. Get into a routine. You're a school girl so it should be exactly the same M-F. On the weekends, have fun, relax and stay on your eating schedule. Sleep in and play all day. I will help in anyway I can if you need tips. Message me @freedomcuisine on Instagram if you want any diet advice or any advice in general. I do understand that getting up early can be a struggle so your number two goal should be to go to bed at 8 pm M-F. Lights off. No exceptions. You will thank me one day for that life changing tip. Staying up late is the biggest mistake young ladies can make. If you get to bed early, you will feel better in the morning for your sweat session, you will absorb more knowledge at school and you will stay youthful for longer. Have fun and again, good luck to you XO

[@sallysmith3684]

Signs that you are restricting your calories: Sleepy at school, food cravings, moody, starving after school, not sleeping well, low energy in workouts, etc. A good way to get enough calories but to not over eat is to plan out your caloric intake. My guess would be that you need 100cals before your workout (1 banana), 5-600 calories for breakfast, 5-600 calories for lunch, 3-400 calories for after school snack and 5-600 calories for dinner. Stick to fruit smoothies, dates, cereal, oatmeal, bread, plant burgers, pasta, rice, potatoes, burritos, vegan pizzas, etc. Use condiments to make your food yummy! I do understand that your parents might cook for you and I hope that they are on board with a high carb low fat vegan diet for you. Otherwise you gotta get in the kitchen and cook for yourself. After school, eat your 3-400 calorie snack, do your homework and get in the kitchen. You can prep your lunches, make awesome dinners and even prep your breakfasts so you can save time in the morning. I believe in you and hope for the best for you!

[@isabellat9742]

[@kaylalewis8519]

She's so right when she says you can change your environment by changing yourself, your attitude really does affect others

[@roselavia6110]

Well done video I strongly believe in what you said. The environment and who we surround ourselves with can put us up or down. It's hard to let go bad habits, once it's done, we just grow like the flower you describe 💚👍

[@kailyntaylor4167]

I plateaued until I stopped counting calories and just started eating cleaner! it's crazy what your body can do when you dont obsess!

[@mochabetty]

Mike & Kailyn Right! I would obsess about calorie counting and checking my weight all the time. I'm so done with that, I just need to focus on making the right food choices and only eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full with plenty of veggies and fruit...

[@jimpagan8309]

Well said and thank you. I’m 50 and noticing the changes physically and mentally that can come with my age. I was very active when I was in my teens, 20s and 30s and well I let life experiences that are bad to be excuses to be unhealthy. Now I’ve lost 10 lbs in the last three months. I was a runner in my day at 14 miles a day, but stopped abruptly due to a muscle tear off my Achilles’ tendon. With the therapy I never felt 100% and I let negative thoughts nix out positivity. I’ve finally pulled back my positive thinking and I’ve have that positive perspective again. Your vlogs have been part of that. Thank you!

[@Ritchiemom5]

I say this like every day to my kids, friends, family and myself. You are the company you keep, and your surroundings affect everything about you. I have done this with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and even depression. I am down 70lbs (most of it was in a year and a half, i have not moved in the last 6 months. in fact i have gone up a couple pounds) I have been stuck for a while and it is the hardest change of them all because I have 4 kids and I can't just get away until I am reset like I did with every thing else. but it is slowly helping them and I know I will be there at some point. THANK Goddess for the internet being available for me to use as a tool to surround myself with goodness and knowledge. and for you and everyone spreading the love! I am Grateful for you guys! THANK YOU

[@alycer.6471]

[@beverlycook4913]

Speak out Hannah. Good one! I feel encouraged. Every day new start. I've lost 70 lbs several times. Walk, bike, yoga license to teach. Just have a metabolism that is not easy to deal with. One day at a time. Eat right, measure, breath... do the right thing.....enjoy.... do kindness, be the change. Love you Hannah!!! Watch you often! You're inspiring!!!! Thank you! Hug!!!

[@lrodenlr]

Great video Hannah. This is a huge factor that people forget when they're trying to change their lives. You are who you hang with!

[@seagreentangerine2065]

This is such a great Vlog subject. It reminds me of our psychology & counselling tutor. She held up cards of a flower and weeds, both thriving from the sun and water, nurtured by the Universe. Then she showedus a card of the flower and weeds dying, with no sun, no water, nothing to nature them. The lesson was to learn that we can all be the best version of ourselves if we are given the right environment in which to thrive, that we all can reach our own personal best. I am soo thankful that I found your Vlog. I, like many others here and yourself, lost my way - sometimes you need a signpost to point you back in the right direction. This video in particular sums up everything for me, it's everything I would tell others, but I forgot to give the same to myself.🌞

[@lizschott77]

This is so awesome! I've found that I really enjoy doing group exercise things. Like yoga, cycling, orange theory, etc. being able to have a workout guided by an instructor is awesome, plus everyone around you is giving off this positive, intense energy that makes you keep wanting to come back. And making connections with those people if you stick to the same schedule you will likely see them on a regular basis

[@karinmilunovic7557]

This is my biggest problem! Thank you so so much, it's a blessing to have you online!

[@victorialouise613]

YES YES YES !! I've been living through this realization right now and I've come to realize that my job is killing my health. I've worked as a bike messenger for 5 years and even though doing 100 to 400km a week I've constantly gained weight! Because the way of eating (time, amount, with stress) caused digestive issues (and past alcohol and cigarette consumption too) and the frustration of my lifestyle lead me to "numb out" with sugar => weight gain and unhealthy body. So yes, changing friends, job, living situation is a BIG part of being healthy in your body! Yes lifestyle & diet are unseparable! And now that I've realized that I'm progressively changing my life. =)

[@lizlewis4193]

This is so encouraging I don't know if you are a Christian or not but in all of your videos they are really uplifting and really encouraging and I truly encourage that you become a motivational speaker because you have great things to say and you live a healthy life style and I know you can encourage the world :)

[@evayabai]

I am so happy (like truly happy) that I found your account. You're an inspiration to me. I lost 88pounds so far and I could sign every of your videos like a thousand times, because they're ON POINT.

[@catbydie5]

I have to say I am so proud of you. You are getting the whole jest of what this world is truely about. Change your mindset, your surroundings, and be around like minded people. It truely is just that Simple. Way to go Hannah.

[@Angelina-pp3nr]

I just started following you and like your message about fueling yourself and exercising. This video makes me sad to think that someone would stop being friends with me because I'm fat. I lost 160 lbs before I became vegan and was still overweight. I became vegan and gained 80 lbs back after an injury/depression due to grief. My husband also became vegan shortly after I did. We eat healthy, we hike, we both exercise and I started running this year. All my friends are vegan and eat healthfully, many are fellow hikers as well. I'm at the point where I weigh 300 lbs and don't expect that will change due to my history. When I did lose weight, it was due to heavy restriction and exercising for hours every day. I'm not worried about my weight but rather how I fuel myself and ensure that I'm exercising. I'm glad I've found people who support me including my running group and those around me who are also active.

[@Taking_Back_Thyme]

Excellent message. Living with family who eat crap and drink makes it extremely challenging to stay on a healthy eating plan.

[@eternalsunshine2458]

I can totally relate to this. Your surroundings and people you interact with definitely influence your behaviour. Be the bright light. ☉

[@jennipaige6248]

By far one of the most authentic and inspirational KZbinr I have come across. Just wanted to thank you for making these vlogs they have really helped to get me out of the funk I've been in and focus on what is really important in life and that's health and happiness. So thank you again, much love ❤️

[@rodneyjohnson9827]

You are so right, Hannah! You hit the nail on the head with this topic. Listen up, folks. She is spreading the truth.

[@littlefootranch4410]

You nailed it! I have became a vegetarian at the age 9 and met my husband when I was 16, almost 19years later and three kids later, I became a vegan about 7 years ago but my kids and husband was full on junk foods people except my youngest was a veggie. Now because I took matters into my own hands and just topped buying junk foods and dairy, my whole family is dairy free, two of my kids eat the same way I do and my one son and my husband still eat meat if we are out and about or if he buys it for a grill out, which isn't often. We are all super healthy now and my husband hasn't even ate meat in well over a month. He is also getting into running with me and now my kids workout with me too! Keep up spreading the love

[@anafloreani3270]

another aspect to the seed and flower analogy is the process it takes to become a flower. You plant the seed and at each stage give it what it needs and dont judge it for not being a flower yet, because you understand that there are different stages of development it needs to go through to become the flower.

[@xantorrau6947]

Hannah i dont know how u do it, but like when u talk in ur videos, you completely lock my attention down to the screen. I find myself listening and not breathing :))) thank you. thank you for your inspiration

You are a special young woman. Gratitude to you for your insights and inspiration. Sharing this with such honesty is a gift to your audience. Blessings.

[@cerenademe9433]

Girl - you are SUCH an inspiration! And I'm not here for weight loss, but for the *food(!)* (27 yr vegetarian/pescatarian, now vegan), and messages like this. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. Thank you! xoxo

[@meresincere5682]

Since going vegan 6 months ago I've influenced my husband and he eats 80% vegan ! It's true how u just have to take matters into your own hands. Now if I could only convince him to give up cheese. :/ But it's better to be an example than to force !

[@myvoice31]

My husbands vice is ice cream. I get it but I am grateful he is mostly vegan. If that's a thing.

[@marie2mil]

Sayrena Bell , same. He loves the cheese!

[@Raccoon_Mama.]

Same. My husband eats almost completely vegan.....cheese is the downfall.

[@adgarcia1983]

Follow your heart vegan cheese is pretty good especially trying to transition from regular cheese

[@Amy-ms6wj]

Honestly there is nothing wrong with having something in your diet that isn't 'typical vegan' or not '100% vegan' everyone is different, and if you don't completely fit into a category, I think it says a lot about you because you have your own mind and you don't have to fit into what anyone wants you to be. They like cheese/ice cream...let them have it! If they are eating mostly healthy...whats the big deal?

[@weiyaofang9258]

but to be honest (I think you've mentioned this point before too), the more I am obsessed with 'being healthy' and fitness, the more I would end up eating. I would even think I need to treat myself with junk food because I've been healthy the whole week. However in a more social situation when my focus is not on food but socialising, maybe I would still make healthy food choice because I'm vegan, but I will definitely eat way less. The social isolation is the main reason that I gain 30lbs.

[@HighCarbHannah]

Why are you isolating yourself though? Like I said in the video, you should be hanging around with other people who have similar interests to you :)

[@weiyaofang9258]

I agree with you. Isolating myself can be a choice, but that's more of a physiological perspective of overeating. I think the point is that imperfection is okay. Losing weight is not a competition. I need to stop thinking I'm a loser when eating 'unhealthy' food. There are things/ ideas more important in our lives than obsessing over being perfect. I think that is also one of the reasons that I isolated myself, because I didn't want people to think 'I'm a failure', which I realised that majority of the time is my own assumption.

[@michellesivolob2363]

You're not alone! I'm the same way. When I become obsessed with eating healthy and being perfect then I tend to isolate myself because the people around me don't have a super healthy lifestyle like I try to have. Then I think too much about food and binge/over-eat. Socializing and not obsessing over perfection helps me focus less on food which helps so much. xoxo

Weiyao Fang - Learning to show yourself the kindness and forgiveness that you would show any other person is, I think, the key to losing weight/ maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your friend ate some chips while trying to eat more healthy/ plant-based and started berating themselves, you would reach out and gently stop them, and build them back up. Show yourself that same kindness. Allow yourself the room to make errors, because it's going to happen! I know that a while back when I was going veg, I allowed myself a meal a week to eat what I wanted, regardless if it was veg or not. (I stipulated that I could have that cheat meal whenever I wanted, but if I could, try to only have it if I have been craving a particular food for three days, as that may be a sign of deficiency, and I couldn't get rid of it by veg means.) Since I gave myself that forgiving space, I was much more relaxed- I had a back-up plan. Before, I'd "cheat" several times a week- when I relaxed and allowed myself the process, and showed myself kindness, I ended up only using it once a month, IF that! Hang in there, and remember to treat yourself with compassion, too.

I just found your videos yesterday and it was because my husband and I have been trying to get healthy and we were researching intermittent fasting and you had a video where you briefly talk about intuitive eating. since last night I have watched so many of your videos and I am finding them so relatable and real and helpful of course! Right now I am a pescatarian and I am tired of always trying new things and attempting to get motivated about eating healthy and being consistent at the gym but always falling short. My husband and I are going to follow your recipes and go vegan! We want this to be a lifestyle change. I want to have the life and body I always dream of and admire. We currently live with our in laws so it is going to be difficult to have our own space for groceries and such but we will figure it out! Thank you !! :)

[@kaitvisser]

Amen I love this!! I had to change my life and my environment several times over the last couple of years. When I was a senior in high school I pretty much had to stop hanging out with my friends all together so I could stop partying and get caught up to graduate. Now in my adult life, I am trying to meet new friends in places I like to go, gym, yoga, church, because a lot of my friends still live very unhealthy lives and I have a desire to move forward and not just get drunk or high all the time. You don't have to conform and it's okay to be alone sometimes to do what's best for you 👌

[@preciousxbluexfairy]

Such good advice. I was lost on my journey without the High Carb Hannah channel, fb group, other vegan youtubers. That's what made it possible for me. The recipes alone have given me so many new options for meals. 👍🏼

[@DanielleGaddis]

Amen to this Hannah! I have my own shelf in the fridge and my own pantry. I live with my folks for the time being and they are finally buying more fruit and veggies because they like eating mine haha! Surround yourself with people you want to be like. 😊 Love it! 👐👐👐

[@MsSadisah]

I am so glad you made that video, because I alsways feel like making excuses like that "fat people don't change anyways"-cliché. But it's just so damn hard, when you are the only one who wants to change and then get served the meat you used to eat and used to like for your entire life.

[@rachboudreau]

how do you just "get new friends" .. ?? i feel like as an adult its so hard to just meet people and befriend them without coming off as weird because no one expects people to just be friendly anymore.. lol i know i cant be the only one

[@exposingliars9824]

I was healthiest and happiest when I travelled and lived in China. Thank you!!! I need to get back there!

[@13saydie]

I live with my parents and I have my own shelves in our pantry for my food and it really does help! And my food is all organized now! And I've also noticed that my parents are more conscious of what they eat and I haven't pushed my diet on them either.

[@courtneymay8492]

This is so true! I live with family. my mom my sister and my son. my son(4) is easy. it's my mom and sister(15) who are hard. I have been trying to lead by example but it is tough. I also use Instagram to connect with like minded people. It truly does help having those people even if they are strangers. at least they get it. I am not only on a weight loss journey but I'm coming out of depression as well. my mom is suffering. it's so tough living with that. I'm pulling myself up and trying to pull her up as well. it's frustrating but I'm going to keep going.

[@davidzinck4633]

All I can say is that I can see you are very happy and positive and beautiful since you changed your life! That is why I like to watch your videos, to be inspired by a strong beautiful lady like you.

[@loverrlee]

My environment was bad growing up. It's really really really difficult not to fall back into those same ingrained habits I learned as a child, but I'm trying.

[@brittanyfares157]

Best advice ever! My boyfriend drinks beer everyday... 7 days a week. every since we got together I have been drinking more then I ever have before. I want to be healthy and eat right and get back on track. I'm 5'4 140. not super over weight...but I don't feel healthy. I want to feel good about myself again. and I don't think he would be upset if I didn't drink with him everyday and started eating right. it's something I need to do! Thankyou for this video! ♡♡

You can't expect to fly like an eagle when you're hanging out with turkeys. 😉

[@arit6086]

GOOD MORNING!!! But in my country it's 5:08 pm :D 😁

[@shyannewilson5109]

This topic has been on my mind a lot the past month or so. I have been thinking a lot about who I really want to hang around and the type of stuff I want to be surrounded by. I want to surround myself with people that make me feel good and happy. And some of my "friends" don't even make me feel happy when I'm around them. So I've decided to make big changes in my life. Hannah, you have helped me so much and educated me for me to be on the right path to living a healthier and vegan lifestyle. Thank you so much

[@janice5309]

You're advice is so helpful. I've just found you. This was the second video I watched and I'm so glad I found you. So far I feel like you're a sister or a dear friend giving me advice. You're genuine and real!! Thanks for being here!!

[@vickief4547]

You're so lovely! One of my top vegan inspirations! My mom and I are on day 3 of the lean and clean plan and I feel wonderful. I've been changing around with my environment and friends to find the best place for me. I now have three friends going to Chicago Vegan Food Festival this Saturday and I could not be more excited for myself and that they are willing to go with :) I love your dedication in these videos you never cease to put a smile on my face and make me feel ready for the day

[@lauraelainedesilets1189]

Good Morning! I agree! When I changed my surroundings my life flourished. I wish my family changed. Some workout, take vitamins drink and are not vegan. ..People change if they want. I live a happy life; but they love blindness more. Thank you for being positive tho..I personally do not know where I would be if I had not wanted to change so deeply. I changed my friends, joined a gym being vegan at 20. Became an exercise leader to provide for myself. Quit a high paying job to work in gym. People came into my life and helped. Grateful. Bless be Hannah!!💝

[@christelisland]

If you and Derek are ever in the Seattle area, it would be so great to meet you! My life has changed for the better since I found you on KZbin. Watching both of your channels has always inspired and nudged me toward a lifestyle that was definitely needed. Thank you for being here!💗

[@wholisticwholesomehealing888]

you're one of my favorite youtubers ❤ you seem so authentic and you radiate compassion. i feel it! thank you for creating your videos, im not overweight and i never have been but i have body dysmorphic disorder, and much of it is most likely due to experiences i had growing up which have caused me to think a certain way, but another reason i experience it now (i just turned 24 by the way) is due to the food i put in my body. i know this because ive been vegan before and my mind was so much calmer, and now that ive been vegetarian the past year, ive noticed i have an increase in general anxiety and depression, which ultimately have lead to me not viewing my body lovingly and compassionately. your videos inspire me because you have such good energy and the food you show us looks so delicious, and it inspires me to consume more plant based meals. i especially love your meals because they're simple, and are so easy to make, i would love to see the recipe for the curry you made in your video for your most recent what i ate in a day, where your friends from canada came to visit ❤

[@lindseyjo1759]

I have started doing all of your tips prior to watching this, BUT.... I love this! You are making it really easy for me to feel proud of my accomplishments thus far.

[@pageduncan6908]

I really enjoyed this video. I live alone which makes my home environment very easy to control. I've been the one who my friends see getting healthier and the "want" to join me... but the aren't committed. So far, I've decided to not include others in my journey. I'm considering Meetup groups for walking and hiking though. Those are activities I'd never do on my own so maybe I'll meet new people, so thanks for the suggestion!

[@chronicallyme9687]

Great advice! This stuff really does make a difference. I've had to change my environment in order to get healthy.

[@lisaquick1196]

love your message in this video! People struggle with so many unhealthy lifestyle habits, glad you brought up the connection.

[@mier_inc]

There haven't be anyone on this world who has ever had such a big influence on me as you, I've known you for a few months and since then I'm not the person I used to be before, I really want to thank you Hannah 😊 I also have a small question, I have recently become a vegetarian (I hope I can later switch to go vegan) and by going on a hike every day and really watch on what I eat, my weight drops about 100 or 200 grams a day, is this too little or is this normal? I lost about 3kilograms (6 pounds) during a few weeks I hope you answer this, that would really make my day :) sorry for my bad English ;/ greetings from Belgium! ❤

[@nabillillard8213]

I needed this video ❤️ Thank You! Still a newbie and some days I feel so unmotivated but it's in there 😅

[@onesweetlife2469]

Great analogy about the flower! And I had to stop the video to write down the "turkey quote" before I forgot it 😉. I'm also so glad that my husband followed in my footsteps and became vegan 👍🏼🌱! Great video!

[@CAMWALBRIDGE]

LOVEEE this video! I have reached a bit of a plateau... I've been vegan for 3 years and in the past couple of months I haven't been eating the healthiest, THANKS FOR THE MOTIVATION!

[@sabrinamartin8750]

That's so true. My boyfriend, I have don't want to do nothing, he sits all day long. That's what I'm doing because I hang out with him, watch tv all day or sit outside all day. I love him, but I'm in my 40's, to young for that. What do I do?

[@cupofcozy708]

Sabrina Martin walking is a great form of exercise (especially for a beginner), plus it will get you moving :)

[@HighCarbHannah]

get a gym membership or find some meetups in your area where you can make friends. The thing is, when 2 people do these type of things together, it enables eachother. Because you think, this is fine were both doing it. Once you start being active and hes at home sitting on the couch he will start to wonder if he is lazy and he will follow because he will be bored. Its basic human nature. Get active and live your life :)

[@maybeido03]

Sabrina Martin Find hiking trails to go to. exhibition to see. sites to walk around. stuff like that. if he is not interested at all, be a good role model first. try to be active. if he loves you too he will change.

[@GameOver-jq1cu]

Sabrina Martin..... just do you!! Get out on your head-phones and go walk, go for a bike ride., join a gym. You have to be determined to be healthy for YOU? Join meet-ups to find like-minded people. MAybe he'll get the hint. Her he sees how happy you are, hopefully he will join you,👊🏻💖

[@secondact7151]

Do what you need to do to be healthy and happy. Don't wait for him to start the life you want to have. He will either start to join in or he will stay home and watch the kids (if any) for you.

[@petscanner5]

Growing up my mom always told me to surround myself with people that I can learn from rather than people that pulled me down. :)

[@Fioalways]

this is actually what I did when I first went vegan/whole food plant based. I started cooking healthy foods for myself and my husband would always eye the food and ask about it, eventually he just wanted to eat what I was making for myself and now we are both vegan. I don't tell him that he should/shouldn't eat something. He's lost more weight than me, and that's enough for him to keep going.

[@RebeccaAnnSinkula]

Your past couple of vids have really been rocking. Keep up the good work and the positive message. Thanks for the inspiration Hanna!

[@jessanguiano4510]

My cousin just recently reached out to me wanting to get fit! and i was so ecstatic! I'm the one in the family that's vegan and works out and when she saw how well i was doing she was excited to finally get on track! (:

[@5vegans919]

This is exactly what my mom always said, “be friends with people better than you, more intelligent, healthier etc”

[@Ashley-td7ih]

Hannah this is the best video. I'm a wife and mom and it's been hard for me transitioning into veganism. You helped my mindset with this video. Thank you.

[@blushandberries624]

How can someone dislike this video? This video is so on point!

[@margaretsandham1290]

excellent content! this is so important to do. if you think you are strong enough and don't need to throw away trigger food, you are wrong! the constant pressure of resisting it means that by the end of the day you are more likely to give in. Also including new inspirational people in your life is so important

[@princesspinguina]

Yes, @highcarbhannah this has been the video that I've been waiting for thank you so much. I changed my environment to the max, and I basically dragged my family into it telling them I wasn't going to touch meats ans animal products to cook. They were upset one day lol because when I started a vegan cooking storm they couldn't believe the food was vegan at all. 2 months later we're happier, healthier and continue to stay strong 😀

[@jenniferbaldwin3650]

You make a truly great argument for why it's hard to change to a healthy lifestyle. Give me "food" for thought lol.

[@holisticlivingradhika4359]

Hi Hannah, I've been a vegetarian all my life but recently decided to start a vegan life style. Indian get-together events even vegetarian foods usually have either dairy or overt fats and at first I was wondering how to manage this but I decided to take along a salad or plant based no fat dish, at first the host said I don't really need to get something. It was a little hard work but I felt I'd have something to eat but I realized that everyone loved the dish I had brought and we're excited to hear that it was low fat plant based vegan dish, now they expect me to always bring something different 😅

[@michaelpoganik7266]

Not only are you stunningly beautiful but you are extremely smart. You have a lot of good principles to follow 😊

[@matrixdinoguy6553]

Just found you through your visits on with Jake Mace. Your videos are the final little nudge I needed to return to veganism. Been away for a while. Back and lovin it. Thank you!

[@heartplacex]

Thank you for this video!! I'm getting married in a couple of weeks, and doing that I feel nervous about our diet plans...he's very very overweight and it causes a lot of stress in deciding what we're going to eat; I hate cooking and I'm not in the best shape myself. Never really able to lose weight, since high school I just kept gaining, and I had no idea why. My diet and active lifestyle hadn't really ever changed so I thought it's just because I'm getting older. Regardless, I know if I am more motivated to have a healthy lifestyle I can help motivate my husband as well and I really hope we can do this together. Wish me luck!
