This is the most effective and fabulous diet on the planet. I am in veggie heaven and lost 40 pounds. No cravings ever.

[@shthomas7306]

I have lost 21 pounds, since the beginning of 2023. I changed to a plant based diet. I do eat salmon once a week and mackerel occasionally. I fast from 7PM until 11AM. I am eating wonderful, delicious food and am having no issues with the partial daily fast. I am so thankful for these changes!

[@Dhspat]

I fast daily from 7pm to after work which is around 3pm. I never eat at work anymore. I have no problem doing this. ☘️

[@leslieh1051]

???

[@genevieve-gh3lp]

You cannot say that you changed your diet to a plant-based diet and then say you eat salmon once a week, that doesn’t make any sense, your highly plant based yet not fully.

[@shthomas7306]

@@genevieve-gh3lp How thoughtful of you to make this point.

[@mmc1086]

Well done, these changes can be difficult at first. Amazing results Xoxoxo

[@KFG721]

Love her! It’s because of Kiki that I was able to go WFPB and stay this way for almost 4 years now. Thanks for having her on!

[@thindarella]

You just have to love Kiki - I follow her since a while and find her so inspiring but also so real and like able. Glad to see you have her on the show again 🥰

[@eatplantswithme]

Plantiful Kiki is such an inspiration.

[@Brian-rs4ug]

Dropped seven prescription drugs and lost forty pounds by cutting out the processed foods and processed sugar. I have kept it off for eleven years. This is not easy to do, but definitely possible to the committed. In time your taste will desire the healthy foods. Although you will have to tough it until the shift takes place.

[@sherri.]

Kiki is so genuine and kind to those on her youtube channel. She is definitely one to follow for weight loss and life inspiration.

[@kathyschwiesow6268]

Love watching Kiki's KZbin videos. She is such a kind and compassionate soul. Thankmyou Chuck for having her on your show

[@JoyLQ]

I love Kiki! She was the one who got me started on my journey. I lost 2.5 sizes in my 60's. I'm not skinny, but no high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, or any meds. Love you guys!

[@YevetteGooden]

Thank you for addressing the issue of having healthy skin and hair, especially for someone with hypothyroidism. I read “the starch solution” and was concerned about these issues. I would not start the diet because of my doubts. Thank you for alleviating my concerns.

[@stephenieannarumma9064]

I love Kiki. I have been following her for a while now and she is so adorable and inspiring! ❤

[@beanburrito8903]

Kik is a great help ❤. I love her videos. She has helped me figure things out.

[@jojo060612]

We love Kiki!! Just got her book and its amazing!!! Way to go Kiki!

[@susandurandstone4278]

Kiki is such an inspiration! I can not wait to get her book, should be delivered today!

[@ginac7235]

I’m so looking forward to her book tomorrow (11th). I’ve benefited from her videos and recipes and am happy to support her dedicated work (which I will further benefit from 😊)

[@Kathryn721]

What a beautiful woman, inside and out. I pre-ordered my copy and can't wait to get it tomorrow!

[@karatheriault6715]

Just received my copy of Pantiful Kiki lLean....The book is gorgeous. Thank you.

[@ashleymcdaniel6188]

Love kiki! Have watched her for. A year during my journey! Also love Chelsea Mae! She has an interesting story as well if y’all have not had her or high carb hannah on the show!

[@sherriepiechowski4556]

I loved this so much!! Great interview!

[@78twood]

AMEN KIKI !!I always felt like I had to suffer to lose weight! Now I can get comfortably full and have lost 30 lbs on a wfpb eating!! Only 5 more pounds to go. Also I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I WAS able to lose 16 pounds on keto, but had a gallbladder attack and had to stop. Of course the weight came right back. I do plan cheat days. Holidays and birthdays 😆 I enjoy every bite, but I have to be careful because I made myself sick one birthday party because I got FULL on rich food. I make smaller portions now. Also I get one single serve sweet per week, without guilt, and enjoy every bite. I don’t keep ANY other types of foods that aren’t wfpb in the house. I have a grown grandson and had to tell him to keep his treats in his room. I’ve seen other people who had their family members use containers with locks for their lunch meat, cheese etc, because they can’t handle the cravings. Desperate times call for desperate measures lol. I love Kiki and just bought her Plantifully Lean cookbook. I watched hers and other wfpb videos daily for the first 6 months to learn and keep me motivated 💜 I urge everyone to give it a try. Any diet that you can’t stick with for life will not work ultimately!

[@lovinglife58]

I just love this! You two talk like you’re old friends. I am so encouraged once again by watching your channel Chuck. I really didn’t want this one to end. Love you Kiki I follow you and watch you all the time.❤

[@lauchzwiebel]

great conversation and I can relate

[@shartmann2008]

I did Atkins long ago.... I lost weight but was listless. I was a zombie. Kiki is the WFPB expert among us. Been a fan of her fantastic attitude for some time now.

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

I just bought the book. Beautiful presentation. Haven't tried any recipes yet but I'm excited

[@Spock_Rogers]

Such a cute name, Kiki. 🌸 Thanks for the show today and I'm looking forward to trying the vegan cheese dip recipe!

[@acdcmiami]

Im guessing she is Greek and her name is probably Vasiliki. Kiki is short for that.

[@thindarella]

@@acdcmiami She is Mexican 😂 Not Greek!

[@Spock_Rogers]

Whatever she is, she's beautiful and she's inspiring other people!

[@acdcmiami]

@@thindarella I just saw a video in which see said her dad lives in Mexico 😊. So yes, she is Mexican. Thank you.

I’d love to hear the other two ways to build the plate.

Bravo! Cruelty Free, ethical, and you look great! 🤗💚😽🌿🌾✔️

[@alicianoble5851]

Bought Plantifully Lean in Colorado Springs’ Barnes & Noble.

[@StarchWithPlants]

Did you get the signed copy?

[@mmc1086]

Exam Roomie is so cute, I had to subscribe ☺️

[@sibellebella3682]

I pre ordered the book and can’t wait to start to cocking..

[@lpenni8673]

Not finding a link to her book in the show notes. You mentioned it would be in there!

[@tmit9992]

Why do I get this on my news feed? I have incredible intolerance of green vegies and pre diabetic and SIBO. If I eat veggie I will be in hospital in 3 hours.

[@PauletteButtner]

What is your plan for ultimate weight loss , approx 70 lbs. How long did it take you Kiki to lose your wt and did you notice weight loss right away. You look amazing!!

[@valeriejohnson2367]

She looked better as a heavyset woman IMO..

[@Daiseehead]

We love ❤️ you Kiki! 🤗

[@triciashortridge2309]

As far as body shaming goes, it really does have a lifelong negative impact. I had cycstic acne that left scars. I am 56 now and I still remember when I was in my mid 20's I had someone's toddler on my lap and they pointed to my acne scars and asked me "what's wrong with your face"? That innocent question was BURNED into my brain...I finally feel like I am almost past that!

[@AsMr-km6ex]

❤

[@chrystalthornton1502]

Agree with Kiki, no other diet works as well as WFPB. Failed miserably on all the current fad diets but this one works.

[@karenharris1678]

I’ve got to get her book. Her “cheese” sauce is a favorite. I’ve tried other recipes for it, but Kiki’s is the bomb!

[@TaraWilson]

Seriously the yummiest!

[@shawnykennedy4250]

Kiki is the real deal! Love her and her recipes soooo much!! Can't wait to get my copy of her book delivered this week!!! Thanks for having her on your show once again!

[@leahvincerouse]

I loooove Kiki! ❤❤❤

[@kellyvollmer951]

I love Plantiful Kiki and her books and recipes

[@RiDankulous]

I was a taco bell guy but honesty the foods I eat today are just as tasty and satisfying. Granted, it's work to make them but it's not much. My main meal today is whole wheat pasta and black beans with cayenne pepper. I'm a simple man and eat it every day usually also eat oatmeal, kale, oranges, bananas and carrots. I was technically obese for a brief period around age 40. I got down to a bmi 27: still not good, but worse considering I had a pretty large waist size. After going whole food-plant based 6 years ago all of those problems just vanished, and permanently.

[@melindalachapell4478]

When you guys talked about the pressure during family or social outings, I felt that on Easter! Not so much that they were pressuring me to eat other food but, just the overwhelming amount of misinformation! My SIL was saying that we aren’t rabbits so we shouldn’t eat lettuce in particular or any raw veggies. Then another person was saying- you’ve never seen a fat farmer! Umm…yes I have And, they probably have heart issues. These people homestead with animals and eat the animals. It made my skin crawl the way they were talking farming and then all the fatty dairy and meat they eat. 😭

[@annemccarron2281]

You can't change people. My mother's family are farmers. Several of them died in their 50"s. Many have diabetes. Almost all are obese. They make fun of me because I get out & walk when I visit. They say, "She's just trying to show us up." My husband was the same. He died at 48.

[@runnerolive3759]

annemccarron it is so sad to see relatives waste away their lives like that. But what can we do. They were too weak to change. "You were showing them up" They could join you instead they choose failure. So sad.

[@cindy7702]

Just got Kiki's new book.. I'm on my way at 75

[@lynneshrode2927]

I pre-ordered Kiki’s newest book and it should be here today or tomorrow, I can’t wait. I switched our diet over to a plant based one after my husband had an MI with STEMI. His cholesterol levels are now fabulous. Thank you to both of you for all that you do to get the word out!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@littlemswolf]

I never got into ketosis on Keto and my LDL kept going up. I think I need to up my plant-based diet because I have not dropped below 150. I know what I need to but… OMG the night hunger hits hard. Nuts and seeds can still hurt my belly. Adding: I do not crave meats at all but chips still calls me.

[@k.h.6991]

To get your body to accept nuts and seeds, you can try nut butters.

[@genevajackson6246]

eat your favorite fruits for nite time hunger thats what i did A1C went from 10to 6 within a month time when i stop eating meat However now i do eat salmon , mackerel, tuna & occasionally buffalo ribs.

[@wonderlizz]

The sad thing is that Atkins is still popular. Even in hospitals. My brother had open heart surgery at age 52 and they served him steak!

[@helenhucker346]

Thank you so much for this video. I follow The Happy Pear chefs on KZbin and to reduce gas they advise emptying canned beans into a colander and rinsing until the bubbles disappear. Sending best wishes from the UK.

[@lhlclub]

It's good to see people turn their life around and become healthy. Plant-based 💯

[@lezzymcgill7662]

Thank you Kiki you’ve just confirmed to me that I’m not just a liar… that’s my favorite line when I’m out & food temptation is a 💯… I also say “I have just had that” I ate it last night/yesterday 😂😂😂😂

[@carlo6912]

What an awesome and inspirational interview. Thank you for sharing.

[@skippy6462]

I re learnt what's a "treat" ... those foods aren't really treats. Walnuts and Medjool dates now that's a treat .. yum xxx

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Great guest - I have Kiki’s first two cookbooks and love her channel!

[@laurastephenson2516]

Taco Bell. That's still my husband's go to. The last time we went, Ed ordered bean burritos without cheese. He discovered, the cheese really had no effect on the taste. Still lard in the tortillas, and beans, but it helped

[@twistinacolina9160]

They don't use lard in the beans and tortillas.

[@cindiewert2542]

Realize this is an older interview, but with the mention of good fibers, veggies, etc, an older individual with no medical issues will still see changes in their bodies ability to digest these good foods that were no problem a few years prior. Filling half a plate with even great salad greens can produce extreme bloated issues the following morning : ).

[@fairelaine]

2/3 through this. I'm a going to order her new book. Does she mention how she gets her skin so luminous?

[@k.h.6991]

Yes, she does. around 38 minutes in she describes her skin journey. Short story: she used to have serious acne - switching to whole food plant based fixed it, with ups and downs.

[@user-xe9zc4ng8w]

She still uses makeup. She does a few makeup tutorials on her KZbin channel

[@runnerolive3759]

I love Kiki recipes. I have tried some of them & they r delicious. You go girl. Blessings.
