[@illidarilemonade]

As a person who is dealing with an eating disorder and trying to kick its ass, THANK YOU for this video and for your words. They are truly encouraging and heart-warming. This is the first holiday season in a long long time in which I'm not feeling guilty eating biscuits and sweets and processed food, because for years I'd been living in complete fear of that kind of food. I have kinda finally understood that the concept of "clean" food is silly and dangerous, and since then my mental stability is so much better. Thank you for your contribution to this extremely relevant topic, LOVE your videos and your participation to the vegan community! 🌹

[@azugirl111]

Betta Pavan yes I've struggled with disordered eating my whole life and I appreciate this video so much

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Betta Pavan heck yes girl!!!! You’re killin it ❤️ wishing you all the best x

[@savannae1819]

Same! It's so hard to let go and eat those fear foods, but this video definitely had some great points. Wish you all the best btw😊

[@abbyaustin6194]

I 100% agree with this. Going vegan/being healthier doesn't need to be at the expense of indulgence. If I see a vegan pastry, especially at a place where I don't expect to find one, you better believe I'm eating it lol

[@azugirl111]

eat kindly exactly! Making veganism into this strict diet also turns a lot of people away and makes veganism seem less accessible than it really is

[@sean-stephaniebyerly2653]

You should see me on holiday. I get so excited I always feel compelled to order the vegan dessert whenever I find one. I have to support the cause and all ;)

[@abbyaustin6194]

Haha exactly. I'm about to go abroad and have already been looking at HappyCow to find vegan restaurants...it's the best!

[@dearsirdearyou4153]

I will never be a vegan do know meet is healthy for you.

[@kymberlishea2036]

You are wise beyond your years. And the prettiest smile on KZbin!

[@kimsharp7157]

I totally agree, relax and make healthy choices when it comes to food but also let yourself enjoy time with your family even if it means a few extra calories!!! Happy Holidays Caitlin!

[@beccalordon3680]

Definitely needed to hear this right now. I'm stressing over exams currently and I need to stop adding unnecessary food stress on top of that. Trying to enjoy the holidays instead of having anxiety over it.

[@Harrypottergals123]

im in the exact same place-- want to have delicious food to look forward to at the end of exams, but also scared about the effects that indulging will have on my body. it's just too much to handle. sending you peace and good vibes!!!

[@legohandsliz]

You are so much younger than me and I wish I had gone vegan and adopted this attitude before I hit 36. Haha! But I totally agree with what you're saying. And, in the end, it's what you eat long-term that matters, not what you have on occasion to treat yourself.

[@ysekarsten2527]

I’ve been vegan for almost a month so I haven’t really experienced this yet. I would probably just make the best vegan food in the world because I know what I put into it and I can still enjoy it, I mean most plants are healthy right? The only downside is that I don’t know anyone vegan (yet) because everyone around my age (13) isn’t really thinking about stuff like this. I kinda feel Like a adult when I’m around them. Since I still wanna be healthy and fit when I’m old, I begin with a healthy lifestyle this young. I’m very proud of myself for that. This was my life story😂🙊✨🌱💕

[@sierrak5688]

So good that you're vegan and so young! You're so mature!

[@---sm6ve]

I watch this while sitting on the floor eating cookies and i dont feel guilty lol

[@---sm6ve]

And I am allowing myself to not feelt guilty, as long as im eating vegan. I feel like too much restriction is unhealthy and I want to know that sometimes I can just treat myself with whatever I want for keeping being healthy

[@azugirl111]

Cookies are healthy for the soul :)

[@Jessica-us3nl]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this. I agree 100% with the 'more frequent' style of eating. I literally restrict certain foods because they're 'unhealthy' and then when I allow my self some of it, I always stuff myself until I'm about to explode.

[@fromgreentogray]

Veganism often crosses the line into restriction.... we already restrict sooo many “foods” that other ppl eat, just eat what makes you feel good and happy too :)

[@madeline5175]

I don't feel at all restricted on a vegan diet. I feel more empowered and have endless options. This is because I choose to cook a variety of recipes and am always trying something new. Veganism isn't about taking foods away, it's about not eating meat/eggs/dairy, and adding so many other foods! Before I was vegan, I didn't eat seeds, a variety of different fruits and veggies, or tons of recipe combinations. I would just do the typical burgers, chicken, eggs - nothing unusual. A vegan diet is only restrictive if you make it that way - just like any other diet; Paleo is super restrictive. Gluten free is super restrictive. Like Caitlin says, listen to yo body and ignore that awful guilt that can creep it.

[@fromgreentogray]

Madeline Michael I agree with what u said. That’s not how mainstream society views veganism though. It is seen as restrictive. And sometimes it crosses that line into restrictive healthy foods ie no salt oil sugar fat etc. so I’m happy your personal experience is different from the stereotypes, that’s not how society views vegans tho.

[@azugirl111]

Madeline Michael I think that's exactly what she was tryna say

[@isabellarose9737]

HA that chocolate example is too real. I don't really "allow" myself to have chocolate, but I've been stressed from finals, so when I finally bought Enjoy Life chocolate chips, I ate WAY too many and felt sick and guilty. Allowing yourself treats here and there is way better for your mind and body, I agree

[@azugirl111]

Isabella Rose enjoy life chocolate chips are so good, u just gotta have em from time to time lol

[@azugirl111]

A+ food attitude

[@TurboPower121]

Loving this daily video series... Happy Holidays

[@Afoodjunkieathlete0827]

Wow, is like listening to myself! Thanks for being so open and honest. A lot of ppl experience this. Ur such a great counselor!

[@mollykimball]

I completely agree on indulging on a little piece of something more frequently than restricting that “forbidden” food and only eating it occasionally, leading to a binge because of guilt and desire of a food you’ve been restricted from eating... I indulge on a at least 1 thing that I enjoy on a daily basis, whether that be a piece of chocolate, a serving of chips, etc. it really helps you to make better decisions on your portion control because you’re consciously aware that you are able to continuously have a little treat without feeling like it’s a “one shot wonder” and feeling obligated to binge on it because you never have it in your diet.

[@charlotterempala9287]

A video aday still loving it

[@catielouise4932]

this is exactly what I needed today! thank you x

[@shannonreid2497]

yessss, i've spent too many holidays worrying about food. This is the first christmas in such a long time that I'm approaching the holidays with a healthy mindset towards food and towards my body :)

[@anne-sophieroy8984]

Thank you soso much for this. Very refreshing, i’m so tired of these ´How to keep eating 100% clean during holidays’ videos... I totally agree with your point of view. Things are not black & white, it’s all about balance! ❤️

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Experience has taught me that my body HATES me when I eat unhealthy choices. Like sweets, processed foods, sugar drinks. An occasional piece of high cacao 70% French dark chocolate is fine. Even vegan 'butter' cheese' mess with my digestive system. And if I am not drinking water through out the day my body lets me know in a not nice way. It's also important to know what nutrients your body really needs when you feel the desire to eat high salt, high fat, sweets etc.

[@karoline9647]

Beth Grant-DeRoos i got really sensitive too since i eat very healthy and unprocessed, i hate myself the day after eating a little too much sugary of oily food

[@Wasabisaurus08]

Me too! I am currently vegan at home i dont eat a lot of processed foods and i used to eat vegetarian when i eat out with parents or friends. If i eat anything thats more processed like cheese i will break out the next day and feel heavy, So i now avoid it as much as possible without being inconvenient

[@christinamariemoney]

I would love to see a healthy vegan dessert recipe video on your channel! I love sweets so much, it would be great to have an alternative :)

[@azugirl111]

Christina Marie she has lots of em, just look on her channel

[@christinamariemoney]

Thanks so much! I'll check them out :)

[@jacquelinemoodie2946]

This was so helpful!! I have struggled with these “issues” of feeling guilty and avoiding indulgent food, especially during the holidays so your tips are really useful :) I totally understand the thing with the chocolate and wanting to eat too much because you don’t eat it often - makes a lot of sense

[@kkuhn3]

I appreciate that you talked about the cultural/emotional importance of food. I'm so tired of people minimizing food to just "fuel." Humans are one of very few species that share food and eat together, and even in the prehistoric archaeological record, it's evident how important sharing meals has been.

[@azugirl111]

I feel like when it comes to your diet, I think that adding things is more important than taking them away. Of course avoid animal products and avoidable toxic chemicals as much as you can but otherwise don't get too caught up in "I shouldn't eat x or y" and instead focus more on "I think I would feel better if I ate more leafy greens or fresh fruit etc"

[@katemarisa551]

Caitlin I cannot begin to express how much I adore you! Your message and everything you do is so amazing, and I just love how approachable you make not only veganism, but healthy living. You just have so much insight and wisdom, and you've provided me so much help in my own journey out of binging and into a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. Never stop doing what you're doing you are just so amazing!!❤

[@ericalbrockway]

I completely agree with your stance on having more balance versus feeling the need to be 100% clean. There have been many times I have tried to eat "perfectly" and I never could end up sustaining it and would always feel SO guilty for caving in! A lot of vegans have preached purity, but intuitive eating with balance is a much better and much less stressful lifestyle. Thanks Caitlin, I think a lot of us needed to hear this!

[@allieessen906]

This video makes so much sense thank you

[@laurenoberlin582]

Thank you so much for this video! As a vegan, it's much easier for me to have less guilt surrounding food - both in terms of ethics and health. I'm pretty consistently getting my fruits n veggies and all that so I can indulge here and there. But I still experience a lot of anxiety, guilt, and stress around food now and again, especially during the holidays when there's a lot of unhealthy things in large volume (like last year when I made a huge batch of vegan cookies - but since I'm the only vegan in the house, had to eat them all by myself because I also have guilt around wasting food and I NEVER throw things out). I'll eat unhealthy things for the sake of not wanting them to go to waste or because I'm craving them - and when I go off track just a couple of times, I tend to start craving more junk food than normal. But I start to worry that I'm not being healthy enough or stressing about weight, etc. It's a tough battle and I'm sure a lot of people struggle with it! So it's nice to hear your thoughts and advice on it - thank you :)

[@jessiemadanat5455]

Absolutely love your channel!

[@gciambelli]

love your vids, Caitlin! you are so sweet and genuine

[@lucyjames1525]

Loved this and I can totally relate. In my early teens I started to have an eating disorder - nothing dramatic, but I still have to count my calories and do not like my body which makes me over-exercise if I feel like I ate too much. But right now, my biggest fear is salt. I do not really know why, but since I am eating a lot of salty foods right now, I always find myself feeling bad for it. Problem is that I absolutely love my vegan pepper steaks (I am a vegan that loved the taste of meat but does not want to put their cravings over an animals life) and they are very salty, but if I don't eat them, I am always very low on protein because I am not a huge fan of tofu, tempeh and whatever else is out there and get stomach aches if I eat to many beans and legumes (lentils are legumes, right?).

[@gretchenvosburgh4061]

Thank you for the video!

[@ana_drc]

Exactly, I totally agree with you Cait! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@MelissaW27]

I definitely needed to see this video, thank you so much, Caitlin. I've struggled so much with limiting myself and making myself miserable by not letting myself eat the foods that I want because it's not completely healthy. Now I get terrible anxiety when it comes to eating so I'm trying to tell myself that it's ok to eat the treats that I want in moderation because the other 90% of the time I am choosing healthy foods. It's been really hard to try and get myself to stop stressing so much about it and to just enjoy the foods and memories that come along with indulging in a tasty treat but this video definitely helped me, so thank you

[@monicaoliva5186]

Dis why I love Caitlin so much she real as heck GIMME DAT VEGAN FAT 😋😋😋

[@saraemilietroelsdatter3127]

Thank you for this video - i needed it! :)

[@marieel3225]

I can't eat any sugar or else I break out horribly :( I sometimes indulge but then my skin looks awful for a month. When I eat clean my skin looks great and that is my motivation

[@mellemblogueuse]

Since I began to practice daily yoga I see all the imperfections of my body. (Before that I didn't care at all.) So I tend to be less indulgent with what I'm eating. And I don't want to be like that... So I keep reminding me that it's ok to have imperfections, it's ok to eat chocolate and sweets. I don't want to struggle with food... So thanks for the reminder :)

[@lucyanderson8436]

needed to hear this, thank you so much

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

Honestly, I would be DELIGHTED if there were somewhat indulgent vegan options at a holiday party, dinner, or any other food-related event! Typically, my extended relatives would provide almost little to no vegan options for me, let alone provide any vegan desserts! So, it's really easy for me to eat healthily on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day since all I can usually eat are the salads, veggies, rice, and sometimes tofu. Nevertheless, it is still REALLY challenging for me to resist temptations when coming back home for winter break since my area is less walk-friendly than my college campus, and there are MORE amazing vegan restaurants and stores with lots of indulgent meals that I have to try! I feel very self-conscious about the things that happen to my body over the holidays because I naturally become softer and less active. But at the end of the day, that's A-OKAY! P.S. Oh yeah, and I can totally attest to the fact that healthier alternatives don't always cut it. Come on. I don't want a raw vegan pizza with a grain free crust or avocado toast on a lettuce wrap (WTF?!).

[@noemiebatih6175]

Saaaame ! All I expect to have is some veggies (if they are not covered in butter, fingers crossed), potatoes and bread. I will live the carb life for holidays at my family and I am so sad about it ... But hey what can we do !

[@stephaniemcc1699]

Loved hearing this and definitely needed it today! I personally like to challenge myself to drink a lot more water during this time of year, because I feel that when I'm fully hydrated, I tend not to binge as much on indulgent treats! That way I can have something sweet without feeling so guilty. As Caitlin said, it's all going to balance out! Happy Holidays everyone!

[@theresamikolay]

Caitlin I love this video!! This is so inspiring to me and came with perfect timing. I was just thinking about all these ways I should try and stay healthy over winter break and now hearing this I just feel a lot better, like a light switch went off. I don't need to eat "perfectly"! I am going to enjoy the time with my family and focus on being balanced instead :)

[@Natashaarosario]

Love this message! Holiday eating is definitely a struggle of mine, but what you said is 100% true. Btw I love your "Chat with Caitlin" series (it's one of my favorites)!

[@hazelannarogers18]

Important af. Love you Caitlin. X

[@heyitsnicoleee]

Thank you for this great video Caitlin! Enjoy your holidays ❤️🎉

[@grainsandvegains]

Love it! Our minds think so much alike, keep up the positive vibes and videos, Caitlin 😊 I'm still trying to figure out what kind of indulgent foods to make my omnivorous family for the holidays (I have 2 X-Mases to attend). I'd like to bring a dinner and a dessert dish to each and really WOW my family. Any go-to suggestions anyone?

[@kathystoner5239]

I used be be so obsessed with dieting,after getting a chronic illness, I know those things don't matter anymore. I do eat mostly healthy vegan and gluten free, because some things my body can't handle and it makes my body feel worse. I still like to indulge sometimes, but on things my body can handle. I'm into listening to my body.

[@cherryoctopi]

Nice product placement 😎 Great message.

[@peachcheeks5925]

I literally love you sooo much! Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration ♥️

[@abbbsx3]

I really appreciate this video!! I've recently been working with a therapist to get past some of my lingering food fears. I developed an eating disorder a few years ago which was in large part influenced by the high carb vegan movement and raw til four lifestyle being pushed. It became so extreme and restrictive for me and the lack of fat fucked up my hormones and I have not had my period since. Veganism has the power to be such an abundant, delicious, satisfying way to live! While being health conscious is admirable, so is eating that cupcake with white flour and icing and vegan butter. I'm still finding that balance but I'm so glad videos are coming up like this now to make people realize it's ok (!!!!) to have salt, oil, sugar, etc. Especially around the holidays, it also shows other people that veganism is not extreme and that you can indulge and enjoy food like anyone else. My one thing is, don't you avoid oil, Caitlin? Most of your recipes seem to be oil-free? I've been slowly incorporating oil back into my diet and it is freeing not to be so fearful of it.

[@SartoriallyBlack]

This is SO good, and something I needed to hear! I have been kind of depriving myself of/strict with sweets because my primary goal is weigh loss. I've lost 40 pounds in 11 weeks and I have another 80-85lbs to go doing HCLF. It's like I know that there are healthy ways to make desserts or that it's okay to indulge every once in a while, but I'm still trying to find a balance because I don't think I have self control. I intuitively listen to everything else my body craves, but when it's like, "I want chocolate" I grab fruit instead. The struggle....

[@hannahasis7488]

thank you

[@tildafraser5152]

Okay really needed this video, i hate Christmas because of all the food choices. Nice to get some perspective ✨

[@aurorasandsadprose2793]

No matter how much I eat, if I don‘t eat fats I am starving. It doesn‘t feel any different from when I am actually not eating enough calories. I don‘t get how anyone does it.

[@ingalien8102]

Thank you so much for this video Caitlin! I'm already thinking about family meals this Christmas. After years of dealing with comments on me not eating meat, my family has pretty much gotten used to that, but the rest of the food is still definitely not vegan. My mom uses butter in all of her cooking, frying and even soups. All cakes and pies are all eggs, butter and sugar. They would think I'm totally mad if I wantd to have vegan substitutes for all that. And yes I do make some additional vegan food to share, but I always have such a hard time and feel guilty refusing their main dishes... We usually have fish for Christmas and I was just asked yesterday again if I will have some. I can sense how uncomfortable/dissapointed even though I have explained it all to them thousands of times. I'm sure a lot of vegans are dealing with that too.

[@destinyimani]

This video has helped so much!

[@erickvelazquez7659]

I totally see where you're coming from. I have been striving to be an ethical vegan for some time now. With the holidays coming up im just feeling way more pressure from my family because they still use regular butter and milk when they cook for me even though im lactose intolerant anyways. It sucks being rude and saying I wont eat what they cook for me but at the same time I don't want to eat food that is gonna hurt my body and that comes from animals at all.

[@sportyprincessxo]

Yes!!!!! Vegan need to stop the orthorexia!

[@eunesslee]

you are so wise! I agree with everythinnng you said Caitlin. :-)))

[@tastylife6358]

Very true..... I wish I also tured fully vegan too

[@celesteoreilly8120]

100% agree!!

[@lanie7573]

for those of you who struggle with OVEReating during the holidays, i definitely recommend keeping a tervis of water/tea with you at all times.

[@basiazonierczyk6496]

Oh my god really good, smart video, i agree!

[@RemyElysee]

Haha I love you Caitlin! love the points you made

[@marypalmer00]

yo my family is def not the most healthy one, but we literally NEVER deep fried anything ever lol. It just seems so scary to me whenever I see it. Just the amount of hot oil... ew

[@Serpentarious]

I am vegan for 1 month now, but i fell awkward knowing i will spend the Christmas with my family and everyone will eat everything from a pig(from intestines(homemade sausages) to pigskin) and i will eat something else. I feel like they will just look at me with judging eyes. How do you all cope with something like this?

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Cristian Matel if you were diabetic, had a dairy, egg, gluten allergy or could literally die if you ate something with nuts in it, how would you deal with it? How would they treat you? Make sure there are foods you can eat that others would enjoy as well and you might be surprised how well things go. Our son was born diabetic so from birth he didn't eat candy, pies, cakes etc. A friends daughter cannot have peanuts while another friends son cannot have dairy. And we have never had any issues with family, friends when it comes to being vegans, since they respect our choices be they for medical or other reasons.

[@beatrice7915]

Cristian Matei heyyyyyy you are romanian?

[@Serpentarious]

yes i am

[@beatrice7915]

Cristian Matei me too.

[@Beautyandabovefal]

Something you could do is make your own food and also invite them to have some during Christmas. I️t makes them a little less judgmental once they try some food and possibly like it

[@marlylolxd]

where did you get your bottle from?? i need to have one like this:D

[@morgannicole4801]

I love your videos so much

[@adhorsegirl]

Where did you get your crystal poster?

[@caravirostko4008]

I gave up salt, nuts and avocado 43 days ago. And my tastebuds are adapting. I had to experience it for myself to believe it. So though it's true that fat and salt, especially together, tastes amazing, you can train yourself to find less hyperpalatable food truly enjoyable.

[@caravirostko4008]

chandan Avocado contains good, healthy plant fat. I am currently eating according to calorie density in order to lose any excess weight and develop a calm stable brain. If you are happy with your weight and are not suffering from heart disease then avocado is absolutely beneficial in moderate quantities.

[@madeline5175]

Loved this vid! I've never been the guilty or restrictive sort. I've tried - and I "fail"l. I want my vegan cookies! :D

[@melissakhamchanh2725]

Could you ever go completely raw vegan?? I feel like that would be really hard to do!!! I’m intrigued by it tho!

[@azugirl111]

Raw veganism is :/

[@mikeysilbert461]

Yeah, I'd have to agree about not stressing over having unhealthy stuff here and there, like vegan butter in a decadent dessert, or something someone cooked with oil. That being said, and this is purely for me personally, I have a strong aversion to oil, since I learned it definitely isn't awesome for my body, and I tend to strive strongly towards making my food as virtually healthy as possible, because it's both physically pleasing in the sense that it tastes super awesome, but mentally pleasing, because I know I'm not hurting my body by eating unhealthy things. Now, if I'm out and I happen to come across a restaurant with a vegan option (its fairly slim where I live) and it has oil, I won't stress out about it, as I expect eating out to be unhealthy in general. Probably because before I went vegan, I ate gross unhealthy food all the time, and so my brain associates eating out as unhealthy xD but if I'm looking up a new recipe to learn and try, I'll either try to find a way to not use any oil/butter/etc. or I'll just skip over a recipe til I find an oil/butter/etc free recipe

[@hannahgarstang5715]

I like to call it soul food :)

[@chunkymonkey9097]

I'm SO glad that a lot of people found this video helpful, but unfortunately for me I was disappointed. And I LOVE your content, don't get me wrong, but hear me out... As someone who HAS a problem with binging, I found this hard to relate to. How do I go from Point A to Point B, as in from Binging all of the chocolate to eating it on a routine, but with control? I work/go to school, and there is a Trader Joes by my campus. Every week, I will grab a box of vegan chocolate chip cookies (and sometimes other things) and every time I finish that box by the night. If I go multiple times, I still end up binging, I just end up binging more (like 3 times a week instead of once). Also, how do I not binge when on my period? Its also really hard, because I've been vegan for years now and I am pretty healthy, other than the fact that I am overweight, and I personally couldn't connect to this video. Maybe it's just me, and I know that this is in NO way your fault, I just find that I binge in the Winter- always. And every other video usually doesn't relate to me either because the advice does not pertain to vegans :(

[@christyjohnson7609]

Just became vegetarian I would love your advice I am on a serious budget and I have a physical challenge I have checked with my dr. Can I reach out to you

[@TheListGirl]

I love your videos and I agree with you entirely. But, out of curiosity did you mean to say butter? When you said you don’t mind if your mum makes cookies with oil or butter, you’ll eat it? Just curious

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

The List Girl I meant vegan butter 😊

[@inari3789]

[@TheOnlyFairee]

I see eyes rolling about eating gluten free. Really upsets me because so many people don't believe my gluten intolerance is real based off one article that news outlets decided to quote, while there are a dozen of other peer reviewed articles proving that gluten sensitivity is real, and can be worse than celiac disease because there's no test for it other than an elimination diet. I'll stick eating gluten free for the holidays, because the taste of wheat is not worth causing me joint pain, chronic fatigue, muscular weakness, and depression.

[@mariatania4846]

What happened to tea time? I mean, I love you talking, but there is something missing from this conversation. HAHAH.

[@karoline9647]

Maria Tania people complained because of the sounds coming with consuming something, i guess she just tries to avoid it now

[@user-qt2gn5yh1l]

Anyone here eats plant based for ethical reasons? I feel like so many more people are because of health, but I really do think that ethics is what fuels a plant-based diet.

[@matildathompson2510]

Have u had an ED?

[@sp50]

Just avoid oil and fat
