[@HighCarbHannah]

love you, wow so amazing to show all your stretch marks and skin

[@HighCarbHannah]

@Jessie Loomis damn girl that is freakin amazing, rock on!

[@PlantifulKiki]

omg thank you so much! I feel like Im the lucky one..you guys are amazing !

[@janinekalin6968]

I stumbled upon your videos & now I’m going to jump right in - I’m doing this for health reasons (thyroid issues) but I love how simple you make everything (I have a family of 6) and I feel like this is why it will be so successful for us !! Please keep making these videos, you’re so down to earth & happy & absolutely wonderful 🧡 (maybe make a video about how you transitioned (what you ate) to WFPB lifestyle)

[@marionlacey1074]

What can I say.....you are such an inspiration, and lovely in every way. Your total honesty in showing us your stretch marks makes you even more real. I am not obese, 43kgs and 5'2in but I am vegan mainly WFPB and eat this way for good health (I have a long history of rheumatoid arthritis) and my love for animals. I have been following you and Hannah for a while and my mouth was watering watching you prepare your food for the day. Never knew you could make crispy chips this way! Thank you so much for your food demonstrations. 😊🐾

[@laurasmith6761]

Hi Kiki, love your videos, well done!!!! How often do you exercise a week? Thank you x

[@AlyssaAllDayVlogs]

Hahaha I loved the poop convo. Idk why it’s so taboo! Everyone poops! 😂😂

[@carolannwells]

"I like to poop"!! and here I thought I was the only one!! ha ha ha ha

[@ahhitskatie9094]

Carolann Hays Wells Yes!!! 😂😂😂 one of my fave times of the day ahaha

[@barbaram.l.8661]

I know right? Sounds silly but it’s important and awesome Kiki can talk about it and out everyone at ease

[@kcmorris3071]

This video made me cry. I so needed this today. I love how sweet and motivating and thoughtful you are. I can’t wait for the veg challenge!

[@PlantifulKiki]

im so glad it spoke to you In a special way:) an thank you for sharing!

[@shaeblackburn8228]

I appreciate you saying that your muscular body is genetic. Your honesty and body positivity is refreshing ❤️

[@SA-hf3fu]

You and Hannah. I see the two of you as teachers who have the same information but present it in 2 different ways. You're both so good but have different perspectives and teaching methods. Love you both so much!

[@reneebrunner3523]

You have no idea the impact you are having on teen girls by showing your marks and loving your body. I work with teens who compare themselves to filtered pics causing low self esteem, depression, and eating disorders. You are amazing and beautiful. Thank you!!

[@PlantifulKiki]

awww thank you so much!

[@pentre33]

Your positivity and encouraging words are so welcomed in this crazy world of ours ♥️🌱🌱🌱

[@LHeatherBarrera]

Yes, this! The 🥰

[@susanrosenthal8271]

I experienced the same constipation! I went cold turkey 2 years ago and was so bloated and constipated for a couple of weeks, and then it went away and I have absolutely no problems since then! Lost 120 pounds so far, excited to do this eat your veg challenge! Love your channel Kiki!

[@amanda4u850]

Awesome! How long did it take you to lose all the weight?

[@susanrosenthal8271]

amanda 4u thanks! I lost 100 pounds in the first 9 months it melted off super fast...the last of it is stubborn and has literally taken me the last 15 months to lose 20 but slowly surely getting there :D

[@VeganGroceryLife]

Wow that is a lot! Congrats!!!

[@amanda4u850]

I lost 10 lbs quick. The last 2 weeks I haven’t lost a pound. Kind of frustrating. 😢

[@LaVidaMedia]

Susan Rosenthal did you eat like Kiki? What were your go to meals?

[@kefirheals7383]

Loved this video. It's great that you point out, when doing Dr. McDougall's plan (50/50 plate), you encourage the use of sauces and condiments. I think that's the part a lot of people get wrong, including me. I really did not enjoy the 50/50 plate. But, once I started mixing up the simple mustard/maple/lemon juice dressing, I was hooked. Now, I find it so stinkin easy. And the only positive I can say about this COVID-19 phase, is that it allowed me to eat, without guilt, the whole foods, plant based way. My husband is not vegan. He still wants all his meats, lunch meats, milk, cheeses, etc. I finally am okay with that. It's not for me to change him. I tried, it didn't work. And I can cook everyday at home, and enjoy doing it. And he's enjoying eating at home again. I think the high salt and fat content kept drawing him to eat out. Now he's kinda stuck with me. Ha Ha. But he's happy not eating out now. I do push more veggies on him than usual, but it is what it is. Luv your stuff.

[@PlantifulKiki]

thank you! and it sounds like you are doing amazing!

[@fourstates1907]

I LOVE how real you are! Keep it up! Women need authentic talk about our bodies!!!❤️

[@PlantifulKiki]

Thank you so much!!

[@tmrpeace807]

I have been watching you for a month. I enjoy everything you post even the bloopers. I have watched High Carb Hannah but I feel I can relate to you more. I am half Mexican half German and have been overweight for 6 years now. I bought the two books you recommended. I started a whole food plant base diet almost 3 weeks ago. My starting weight was 189. I have some whacked out periods an major anemia problems. Bleeding for 25 days straight then no bleeding. I have been to so many doctors with little help. I want my health back. You are inspiring me that I can get my health back. ❤

[@deseraeward9618]

Health is wealth, and food is Nature's medicine. I used to have the same problems with bleeding for 20 days or more. I finally found out it was due to kidney disease. Get your kidneys checked if you can, the sooner you rule it out the better. Much love♥️

[@jbidwell605]

I just love you to bits! You and Rich Roll are my two fav plant based KZbinrs, by FAR. XOXO

[@deonjennings4440]

I just came across your channel like a week ago, and I must say how fortunate I feel to have done so. You're so genuine, pure and unapologetic in your authenticity 💖. God bless you!!! Stay true to who you are 😊🌸🌼

[@trishfriesen8943]

Thank you for loving your body the way it is. I really appreciate the positive message you are sharing; I needed to hear this. Not enough people model how to love yourself!

[@PlantifulKiki]

You are so welcome..self love is freedom and I want all of you to live in that freedom:)

[@shawnykennedy4250]

Loved this!! Made me cry when you spoke of self confidence, something I still struggle with on a daily basis. I loved when you said: "I encourage you not to compare your body to mine or anybody else's, you are uniquely you, your body is your body and let that be the best body it can be for you. Don't compare yourself to what my body looks like or what the next person's body looks like. Don't waste time in that space and don't waste time feeling bad about how you look, there is only one of you! Feeling beautiful is a choice." I am going to recite this to myself every day during the challenge - thanks so much! :) Big hugs!

[@PlantifulKiki]

yesss girl, repeat it to yourself every morning and night, thats all i did and little by little that grew into my belief system...you can do it

[@lisamariejerusalem]

♥️

[@Offwiththefaries]

The emphasis you put on self love and acceptance in conjunction to getting healthy and losing weight is SOOO important and I don't feel like enough "influencers" talk about how important it is to be healthy in your mind first and foremost. Some of the times in my life when I lost the most weight and was at my thinnest were when I was also the most mentally ill so it wasn't healthy at all! And obviously not sustainable. 🤷‍♀️

[@ElinevanderLaan]

Love when you include the bloopers! Joining the challenge even though I don't have insta. Thanks for the inspiration girls. 🥰

[@PlantifulKiki]

haha glad you like them and im so glad you are joining the challenge!!

[@heatherjones1661]

I don't have insta either which I hate for instances like this but bring it on

[@caninecrusader657]

This video was recommended when I searched for "plant based breakfast." New follower. I have a lot of weight to lose, but more importantly than the weight at this phase of my life, is that I need to restore my health. I'm old enough to be your Mom. After years of eating sugar and processed food, it's taken it's toll on my health. And I'm allergic to all red meat since a tick bite 2 years ago. I've had a lot of inflammation and multiple autoimmune diseases. I want to be more active physically, without health issues and pains, and the weight loss will be the plus. I'm sure your channel will be a great help for me. Love your personality and style as well.

[@heatherjones1661]

You can do it! My husband and kids went plant based November and kiki and hannah are my go to for recipes and inspiration

[@pda2836]

Have fun binge watching Kiki's videos - so enlightening, so positive!! I am always waiting for the next one :)

[@joyshealthyplate4232]

I am 54 and am going back to this way of eating. I am using the challenge to motivate me to get healthier...you can do this!! You will feel better!💗

[@abieshleman8313]

Kiki is great! I just started transitioning to plant based about a week ago, and have definitely enjoyed binge watching Kiki and all her fabulous recipes and lifestyle tips. Also, if you haven’t yet, watch the film Forks Over Knives. It’s available on Netflix. Sheds some light on the importance of eating plant based, whole foods. We can do this together! (I need to lose about 70 pounds, and have some health conditions I want to reverse soon).

[@smallfootprint2961]

@@abieshleman8313 ... Abi... You can do it. Just eat till satisfied, and eat again when 'hungry.' The key to it working is calorie density. Your body will find it's right size.

[@jaiditnon8528]

"If I believe I am beautiful, I am freaking beautiful" Plantiful Kiki

[@PlantifulKiki]

truth:)

[@hamilton0526]

This needs to be on a t-shirt!!

[@carlajilek2506]

Sorry but I used to watch high carb Hannah and she’s fine but you encourage me so much more Kiki. I love how simple you make it all and your food is yummy. Also love the input for children’s meals. I would be giddy if you texted me!!!!! Just remember you ROCK!

[@ElinevanderLaan]

I love Hannah too but something about Kiki's philosophy is so wholesome for the soul! X

[@janett9263]

I also like Kiki way better than HCH.

[@anniestubin]

Thank you! Kiki is so much more real and consistent! I have never heard Hannah talk about the 50/50 plate or eat that way in her what I eat in a day videos...yet Kiki has been super consistent and always talked about it! I don't trust Hannah.. She's flip flopped too much in what she's recommended or how she's said she lost her weight..

[@jessicaraewood5016]

anniestubin isn’t that realistic though? I mean how many diets have we all tried? How many adjustments have we made over time? There’s a formula for every person and it takes experimenting to find it. Can’t fault her for sharing her journey through that with everyone. What works for you today may not work for you next year. ✌🏻

[@anniestubin]

@Jessie Loomis I don't wanna take over kikis video and channel talking about Hannah. But Hannah is acting like she lost her weight eating half veggies with every meal when I've never seen her eat that way. Her last videos were mostly fruit. I'm just saying Kiki is way more consistent and has always talked about this lifestyle. There's no problem in trying different diets, just don't act like you've always done this when through video proof it's true you haven't.

[@shanaeforee8587]

Thank you for showing how your belly looks. I love when people keep it real. Even slim people curves. You are a beautiful inspiration. I'm trying really hard to love myself and accept my body. It's really difficult after hating it for so long.

[@PlantifulKiki]

you're so welcome! Its definitely a process but all it takes is practice:) When we realize we are in a relationship with ourselves , we have the power to change and no longer stay in an unhealthy relationship

[@erinjohnson3030]

I needed you self-body-love talk today. I appreciate how genuine you are. Thank you!

[@aniaania8181]

i found Kiki last month, ordered the book from abroad...took forever to arrive...read it in 3 days, just finished my starch/veg shopping and ready to start Monday. I have 90lbs to lose..excitrd

[@PlantifulKiki]

yay!! Congratulations on your new journey!

[@clanekatz]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your honesty and candidness. Showing your stretch marks and being proud of it - is amazing! You've accomplished an amazing thing and it's clear your focus was HEALTH! LOVE IT!

[@MEthelene]

Just found your channel earlier this week. I have already been on a plant based diet for 20 years and I am loving seeing all your recipes.

[@PlantifulKiki]

yay! im happy you found me!!

[@osbo54]

I just love you. You are so candid and forthcoming. How many women would show their stretch marks. I love that you love yourself enough to say, it's ok. You rocK!!!

[@SupermodelKara]

Cracking up so hard over the poop portion of this video! LOL it's normal to poop 3-4 times a day when you are ingesting so much fiber rich food and water loaded veggies! I'm super excited for the challenge!!! Loaded my fridge with all the veggies!

[@cimesq]

You won my heart by showing you and your stretch mark. You are beautiful inside and out, I mean that.

[@pat6988]

Hands down one of your most inspirational videos!!!! Thank you for your beautiful kind words!!❤️❤️❤️🌱🌱🌱🌱

[@PlantifulKiki]

Wow, thank you! and you're so welcome!!

[@sbessmaster]

I love ALL your videos but this is my favorite!! So raw, real and vulnerable. Thank you for being so honest and opening up with us. Feels like we are just girlfriends sitting down and chatting, I love it! Keep being you! 💜💜

[@PlantifulKiki]

awwww thank you!! You are so welcome!

[@crystallove1444]

I love your videos! I really appreciate the transparency and and low stress approach you take to feeding yourself and your family. As a working mom of three, your videos resonate with me. Very appreciated!

[@MMMM-pc3ih]

Where has this channel been? I love how you show us your stretch marks. Thank you for being vulnerable! You're a gem Kiki!

[@brendaross9333]

thanks for being so real. Hard to find that on youtube.

[@Mira-bj6zr]

I love you 🫶🏽! Thank you so much for your inspirational stories and information throughout your videos 🥹 I have PCOS so it’s easy come and hard to lose weight. I have been stuck at 150 ish for most of my adult life I can lose 10lbs and as soon as I have a regular American diet with meat I gain it all back. One week recently, I was stress eating sweets and whatever I wanted to comfort me and gained 10lbs in A WEEK! 😢 Now it doesn’t want to leave. I am ready to love on me and do what’s necessary for my body while gaining super confidence in my own skin. To have a vegan diet is my goal to counteract my PCOS and weight control. So grateful for ppl like you sharing recipes and health journeys. You make my heart full and the food is amazingly delicious-that cheese sauce OMGosh! I’m rambling. ✌🏽 Don’t stop being authentically you, you are amazing and Gorgeous! 🖤

[@annecaulder9495]

I’ll be honest, when I heard about you, I wasn’t interested in hearing about eating from a young 21-year-old who never struggled with her weight. Okay, I WAS WRONG! You are delightful, and I respect your health journey. I enjoy how you keep it real and have created all of these videos to be helpful to others. Bless you! I am menopausal and could lose up to 35 lbs. so I’m trying every day.

[@alexaleameller5504]

I’m pretty sure she’s actually 36, which is incredible because she definitely looks 21! 😊

[@LM-dg1hl]

Yep. She’s 36 and a mother of two so not a child. 😂 She looks gorgeous!

[@lifewithkymm]

She’s deff not 21 lol she said in another video she’s been married for 16 years!

[@VeganGroceryLife]

Yep she looks super young! And acts young as well.

[@tarareynolds9339]

I just have to say how much I LOVE that you were so honest about pooping! When people are changing their diet like this, they should really know the honest truths and to know what's normal.

[@salenarichardson2766]

I love your channel and appreciate the simplicity of the foods. It has helped me so much. I also love High Carb Hannah. You are two different people with different styles and you both provide tremendous value to this community. I love that.

[@conniesmith699]

i've been wfpb since last october and have only lost 10 lbs. that bothers me and i really think i just haven't figured out the right formula for my body. i'm 72. the good news is that i recently had labs done and my numbers look amazing. cholesterol down to 128. it wasn't too bad before but a couple years ago had it too high and was put on meds. now i'm cut down to 3 times week for 3 months. then if it's still down, i'm off those meds. i'm sure i will be. just agreed to continue so my doc could go thru this with me and learn. she is not wfpb. she also cut my blood pressure med in half. i'm pretty sure the reason i'm not losing is too many starchy veg compared to non-starchy. just want to thank you for your videos. you inspire your followers and I really appreciate that you are just as concerned about the soul as the body. you have a good heart.

[@schampie99]

I have binge watched all your videos this past week and I love your candid manner and your attitude of keeping it as simple as possible!

[@SandyBee21]

Your honesty and ability to show vulnerability around the so called "flaws" is just amazeballs and i am so very glad to have found you on YT. Your inspirational and im a follower of all you say and do because you walk your talk

[@zumbapartywithdenise]

Best way to start my day with one of your vids! I’m a new subscriber and just started this way of eating the day before yesterday. Loving it. Going serious grocery shopping today and my steam basket for my Instapot comes in the mail today. It’s a good day!

[@PlantifulKiki]

awesome!! im so glad you found me!!

[@bd9465]

I never comment and rarely subscribe, but your energy is amazing! Thank you for motivating us! I work in a call center and currently getting yelled at, but I place them on mute while they rant, and just binge watch your videos- so therapeutic! 🙌🏻😹

[@maria_sophia]

Revisiting this video. I love you waaayyyyy more in this video. Here you still were authentic, more 'natural' and real. I fell in love with your channel through these video's. Lately I feel more a little fake 'ain't I great 😁' and commercial vibe. Please go back to this. To this I could relate. Thanks for all you work 🌹🙏🥰

[@natashaletourneau5368]

Here from Hannah’s channel!!! New sub! I’m 6 months pregnant & have been eating lots of fresh veggies & water to keep my baby healthy!!! 💙💙💙

[@PlantifulKiki]

yay thanx for subscribing... and congratulations on that beautiful healthy baby you are growing inside of you!

[@gelbsucht947]

You'll soon have as many subscribers as Hannah. As for whether people get loose skin after losing a lot of weight, a lot depends on the elasticity of your skin. As you point out, this is partly genetic but is also better the younger you are. So you can lose large amounts of weight when you are younger and not have loose skin, whereas if you waited till you were older, you would have.

[@itzyogurlEleanor]

Just water fast after losing weight, I have seen that change the loos skin factor.

[@dgrassart]

Mistake

[@mchandra66]

I applaud you for the supportive, real advice about our bodies and loving yourself. That’s why I love watching your videos. You’re very easy, down to earth, and real. Love your unique easy recipes and ways to combine veggies and starch.

[@juliegroot3202]

I love your honesty and your ability to keep it real and simple!

[@teresagould6987]

I love 💕 your honesty. I’ve been really struggling with horrendous endometriosis pain for years and did have the constant heavy bleeding like you did. Had a hysterectomy, cervix removal and boom it’s spread into my colon. Basically I watch your videos and now I know I can do this too. Thanks honey so much and we love 💕 your honesty and never change xxx 😘

[@Mari-gl2tk]

I’m starting this challenge. I have been low carb for years which has left me super low on energy and unable to get those last 15 pounds off. I’m excited for the next 30 days!

[@jamiesmiles8312]

I love that you three have come together!

[@PlantifulKiki]

im just so honored to be included..Hannah and Chelsea are some exceptionally intelligent and hard working females!

[@shellsfitnessjourney400]

Same..

[@stephaniesayre6434]

Thank you so much for being real. Absolutely gives me hope. You have no idea how much that means to those of us that feel like we will never ever be as thin and attractive as you. I am encouraged now. Thank you!!!!

[@leesabee3]

Kiki your home is so beautiful! You should do a house tour and show us all your ideas and how you designed your home. I love it!

[@PlantifulKiki]

thank you! yes I will be getting to a home tour soon.

[@donnastedman7137]

I am here because of Hannah & I am so so happy to have found you 😍 your videos & recipes are just a delight xx

[@PlantifulKiki]

Yay! Thank you!

[@brooklynfielders1304]

Thank you for being so genuine! I know it's no coincidence I found you, just the inspiration and guidance i need. You're so beautiful 💛

[@PlantifulKiki]

You are so welcome! and thank you!

[@pampenney9600]

Thank you ❤️ great message. I’m 50 and I have put my body through so much. Beginning to be proud of it. FINALLY 💕❤️

[@kindcounselor]

Thank you so much for your honesty....very refreshing and inspiring. Because of this, Kiki, you are an amazing role model. Although I started my starch solution with Hannah, I am firmly watching you now. .and you have answered some questions about the starch solution...that have clarified and inspired me. Many thanks.

[@PlantifulKiki]

Thank you so much!

[@visitor240]

I appreciate your natural conversational way of speaking to the camera. It’s incredibly refreshing!! I also adore your content, it’s relatable and real.

[@PlantifulKiki]

Thank you so much!!

[@ELLIESHAY]

I’ve been watching your channel a while now. You have an amazing personality, and quite inspiring. I appreciate your videos...

[@PlantifulKiki]

Thank you so much!! your words mean a lot!

[@maryegerton6848]

I love how well informed you are. You always do your homework before you share. Thanks for sharing. You are a good girl. 😇☮️💕

[@sunflowerhaze1498]

For questions about fiber and bowel movements, check out the plant based/vegan book Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (gastroenterologist). So good! It talks about gut health and how eating the rainbow of veggies helps so much! Also if you want to get a preview, check out some of the podcasts he's been on. I first watched him on the Engine 2/Forks Over Knives youtube channel. The book is so good, packed with info and hard to put down!!!!

[@karolinajoy5998]

Dr. B is the best🙌 he’s been on the Plant Proof podcast like 5 times and I’ve learned so much every time☺️

[@pamelavance648]

I have it saved for tomorrow's info to watch thanks for the positive feedback about him

[@vkklynn88]

As we say in Texas “You keep it trill!” That’s why I love watching your videos 🙌🏾💜 It’s so very refreshing in this day and age for someone to be real about everything but even with their so called flaws or real life body. You are AMAZING 💜🥰

[@PlantifulKiki]

I appreciate that sooooo much! your so sweet! Thank you!

[@kirlynz2554]

I love how honest and real you are, and how you share the bloops, lol! Like finding a hair in your food, lol! I wonder if you used parchment paper instead of a paper towel for the microwaved potato chips, they would stick less? Not even sure if you can microwave parchment, but just a thought! 😁

[@PlantifulKiki]

Great idea!! this is why I need you guys !

[@samanthamoon5852]

If I could have liked this video 100 times I would have! So glad that I found your channel

[@JessicaHolmes]

So excited for this challenge. I love having an encouraging group to interact with 💕 Oooh oil-free S&V potato chips 😍 might have to give that a try

[@missgeorgia2996]

I love your honesty as a woman thank you for that your videos are really inspiring me 🙏🏽

[@SFBL1]

Yes, I'm so excited for this!

[@BoomersInAnRV]

Can I say that I just LOVE you Kiki! You are so damn real and like me. You bring me joy and I am back on this video for the umteenth time because I'm to the point that I am going to do a week with ONLY food you eat. I am not able to stick with all my food choices (due to birthday week) and feel horrible. I MUST get my health on track!!!

[@thoughtfulpro371]

Great video. I’ve been on the Starch Solution for two weeks. I had lost almost 10 pounds, then I shot back up in weight over night 🥴😔🥵...so that sucks. I added gluten to my diet, and started incorporating some organic wheat bagels into my daily eating. Guess I need to go back to rice and potatoes + water vegetables only.

[@beth8894]

Agree - I was stuck, couldn't lose weight until i quit eating bread and crackers. Now it's rice, potatoes, beans and non-starchy veg.

[@jackie1999]

I understand the reaction getting a message from Hannah...she replied to a comment I left on one of her posts and I was so excited...I screen shot it and sent it to everybody 😂😂😂😂❤️

[@isabelm3636]

Joining the challenge! I need all the support I can get :) I started my WFPB journey a month ago. So far doing good but this last week I started to have junk food cravings and I even have a few dreams eating steak ;)

[@PlantifulKiki]

You got this! it will fun!!

[@mumfymag]

Thank you So Much for being HONEST and REAL ! ❤️🌷🍃

[@dawndrew8313]

I know if anyone was awake this morning i would have gotten funny looks, ate a huge salad and then a big sweet potato with a banana.mixed in....lol

[@dawndrew8313]

I made the mistake of opening a can and my cats..apparently there are 4 now..all came running and meowing..so i had to open 2 cans of tuna...hehehe

[@trish10-in44]

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your content. I started this journey 4 days ago and was feeling super bloated and thought about quitting and was like NO.. there bound to be a process the body goes through I am sticking with it. Thank you for the tips. You are naturally beautiful, and a real woman. I love seeing real.

[@heatherjones1661]

Not sore or anything 😂😂 I am dead but I agree, more poops is "normal" on wfpb because your body knows how to use it break it down easily and get rid of it. Happy pooping people

[@JessicaHolmes]

😂💩 happy poop!

[@tracym6784]

😂 I died when she said that too!

[@estradafamily7071]

Hi Kiki, I’m so glad that I found you just in time. I’m recently got a call from my doctor telling me that I need to change my diet because my blood test results showed that I’m pre-diabetic , border line high cholesterol and high blood pressure 😔You are my inspiration & I’ve been watching your videos to learn how to cook healthy for my family & myself. Now that I’m in school vacation, I’m happily will become your student.... omg I’m tearing right now, I can relate so much with the struggles that you faced at the beginning of your healthy journey. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

[@keepingitpositive9812]

I'm so glad we can have oatmeal on the challenge, that's my staple for breakfast lol. So how much fruit can we have?

[@patmesenchuk7683]

Keepingit positive wondering the same

[@PlantifulKiki]

I never limited fruit, I often have my oatmeal with fruit, my veggies, and then some pineapple or watermelon...I also snack on fruit. Dr mcdougal recommends limiting fruit to 2 servings a day IF you are not losing weight

[@ssmith2141]

The oatmeal - did you use Steel cut oats that you soak overnight ? Or just the Quaker Oats

[@johnbackes2693]

THANK YOU for showing your stomach. I'm SO happy to see someone showing their normal, human, un-retouched body! And you are beautiful! I've been vegan for 4 years but am getting back on track with eating healthier to lose 5-10 lbs.

Hi Kiki, just wanted to say I recently started to watch your videos, and I am addicted!! Your food is so brilliant! Your manner on camera is refreshingly down to hearth. Thank you for sharing your with us what have in this video which couldn’t have been easy, thank you for reminding us that we are all beautiful. You are one amazing lady!! Xx

[@kindcounselor]

Your honesty is so wonderful. Kiki you are such an inspiration....thank you so much.

[@festivalmama]

Thank you for the potato chip hack! OMG, I can’t wait to try them. And I love your comment about not being bothered by the paper towel stuck to them! CRUNCH!!!!

[@helenwayman9914]

Kiki you really are an inspiration to us all. I’ve been into nutrition for years and vegan for two migrating to WFPB in the last 12 months. Found your channel about 3 months ago and use so many of your recipes, especially your cheese sauce and brownies! I had spinal surgery over 30 years ago and have hang ups over my body image but you have reminded me that I am me, unique and grateful for the life I’ve lived and for the 2 amazing children I’ve been blessed with. Thank you!! Please keep sharing your videos and recipes 😚

[@shannon7183]

Thank you for all you share. You truly changed my life! Loving my new healthy vegan food journey! Also, I love the color black as well. It's such a cozy color in a home. Your homestead is looking fabulous!😊

[@chiarairis12]

I have really bad constipation eating this way but I figured out to have more cooked veggies rather than uncooked cause it’s easier to digest and also basmati rice! My gut loves basmati rice rather than normal white or brown rice. So excited to start the challenge! Keep these videos coming ❤️

[@breel4769]

I had the same exact problem. I was wondering how in the heck I could be constipated with the amount of veggies I eat but yeah, raw is just harder for some people’s guts 😖

[@ruthgomez5010]

Thank you so much for all your videos and recipes! I started a week ago cold turkey this lives style, bought the starch solution book and have read it, I have been following your suggestions and wow!!! So far I’ve lost 4 lbs in my first week!!! Thank you!!!! I got about 45 lbs to go.

[@juliashearer7842]

I love your honesty and common sense! And I love the sound of the eatmoreveggies thing. I don't do Instagram but I love the motivation behind this. ❤️

[@user-ru4ip8mn5n]

So grateful stumbled upon you. Your cooking inspires me. You make it fun to lose weight and eat right. Looks like a great life you have with your family in Colorado.

[@lindaberardi8307]

You are an amazing example of how to eat stress free. Thank you for being honest❤️

[@cwilliam2994]

Hi Kiki, this is exactly where I am! 10 lbs away from my goal weight. Thank you for the reminder of 1/2 veggie 1/2 grain! Much love🥰

[@PlantifulKiki]

You are so welcome!

[@ThisIsCrystalita]

I really appreciate your candidness, your ability to laugh at yourself, and show your bloopers. Such a positive message. I am so glad to have found your channel. I wish you so much success with your channel.

[@kristinagochnour3131]

I really appreciate how candid you are. Thanks for the great videos!

[@mariechristina6261]

Found your channel yesterday. Since then I have watched a bunch of your videos and High Carb Hannah’s as well. Feeling inspired. I ordered The Starch Solution yesterday and I am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival. I have 70 to 80 pounds to lose, and at 56 years of age, with Hashimoto’s, cardiomyopathy, COPD and other chronic illnesses, as well as being in menopause, I have struggled more than ever to lose weight. After a back surgery in 2017, I was put on the Wheat Belly Diet by my doctor and lost approximately 50 pounds, I looked great and felt fantastic. A little more than 18m months later I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and told my the Gastro doc that I needed to be on a “low residue” diet. Low Residue is nothing but high processed carbs and I pack on 35 pounds in 3 months. My gut recovered but I felt worse than ever. Since 2019, my weight crept up quickly again after the worst of covid passed and I was the heaviest I ever was. Morbidly obese, in pain and depressed and always exhausted; I haven’t quit. I started juicing at the beginning of the summer and am down 13 pounds in 2 months. I have a long way to go and juicing alone is not the answer. Thank you for your videos. I’ll be thinking of you and your videos as I go food shopping on Saturday and biting my nails (at least they are low cal) until the the book arrives! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
