Wow this is amazing! I had no idea this program existed!

[@wewillnevermeet]

Personally, I just bring loads of reusable bags with me when I go shopping. If I had a car, I'd just keep some in there. As long as you make sure you wash them regularly at a high temperature, they're great. They can usually carry more weight than a plastic bag. That way you can at least avoid having loads of extra plastic bags. Unfortunately that doesn't help with how the food is wrapped.

[@russiangymnast2014]

No hate here! LOVED this video and the experiment. Even if not completely plant-based, MORE plant-based meals is a win! In terms of groceries, plant-based can get expensive if you buy a lot of prepackaged/processed foods. If you normally don’t eat beans/legumes then yes, you will get gassy. It’s a lot harder for our bodies to break them down. It’s like asking your body to bench press double the amount you usually do and expect to not get sore... you will but eventually you’ll adapt and the gas should go away. Just eat the beans in smaller amounts and slowly increment the amount until your body adjusts. Lastly, don’t blame the consumer for plastic. Blame the producers and companies who package the food. Getting food without packaging is hard and there’s only so much a consumer can do. Great video! I love how you keep it real because that’s life! 🌱🌎 *in terms of environmental sustainability, there is a scale in terms of environmental “damage” from meats/food. Like chicken has less of an environmental impact than beef. Eggs are less than chicken. Plants of course are at the bottom of the food chain. Do some research and you should be able to find it 👌🏻

[@cuteprincess441]

What a great video Sarah!! This is so inspiring. That documentary is really eye opening. Even just have 1 meat-free day a week will help the environment so much. Some of my money saving tips are: Buying frozen fruit and thawing them out to snack on. Or use in recipes. Much, much cheaper than fresh! Making your own hummus! You just need to buy tahini. And you can make it in your Vitamix! You can add any flavour you want, garlic, red pepper, lemon, dill etc. Super flexible that way. You can also buy lentils, beans, legumes in big bulk bags. The only thing with this is you will have to soak them in water for a few hours before you can use them. And they have less sodium than canned stuff. Also, don't let anyone give you crap for trying to make a positive change. " We don't need a handful of people doing it perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly." 💕💕💕

Reducing (which you said was your goal) animal product consumption is already an amazing goal to have. Its okay to not feel like you can go the whole way all the time but just incorporating more plants and reducing animal products to not being in every meal is wonderful. Meatless Mondays or a plant based meal or two throughout your day is great and makes a difference. I hope you see the benefits to yourself and the planet.

Vegan family of 3 here. We spend roughly $200 at woolies on our weekly groceries. And that’s including nappies and wipes etc for our toddler. My hubby also likes to get the vegan sausage rolls, fry’s patties and ice cream which bumps up that price too. If we didn’t get that stuff it would be around $150 a week. All the pre made and packaged stuff is what can make it expensive. It’s way cheaper to make everything yourself from scratch. We also go to a fruit market once a month and pick up bulk produce for really cheap. Last time we went we picked up 1.5kg of baby spinach, 4kg of strawberries and 10kg of bananas for $35. We freeze it all in bulk for smoothies and it lasts us almost the whole month. I’ve just planted my own herbs and kale in pots at home too. There are a lot of ways to make it cheaper than mainstream diets. Really nice to see you guys trying it out.

Love that you’re trying to eat more plant based, it’s a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. I really enjoyed your video! To cut the cost out of eating this way, simply cut back on the packaged products and you and hubby both spend an hour or two prepping for the week; spiralize your veggies, cook your grains, beans and legumes, make those lovely dips you enjoy! It takes a chunk out of the grocery bill, reduces plastic usage and makes mealtimes easier! Also, Indian black salt will give an eggy taste to your tofu scramble! You guys are so fun to watch!

[@annanicolelew]

Bro....So often people feel unsatisfied or “hungry” because the cells run on SUGAR aka CARBS. So fruit, potatoes, sweet potatoes, quinoa, rice are the best. Load up on fruit before you eat anything else in the morning. It’s best for digestion. Eat more carbs, less fat and you’ll find yourself more satisfied. I’ve experienced this firsthand. If I don’t eat 1. Enough fruit 2. Enough whole carbs I am HUNGRY AF. The body runs on sugar I hate this obsessive protein trend.

[@mada7393]

I’m happy you tried it💛😍 I’ve been vegan for 3 years after watching Earthlings. It broke my heart😢; I don’t buy expensive stuff, I buy fruits, veggies, tofu, legumes, like beans, chickpeas, rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes, almond milk and sometimes yoghurt. I rarely buy ( for a treat) vegan cheese, meat, falafels ( I just make vegan burger and falafels at home at they’re usually cheap), berries are really expensive. I buy seasonal fruits and veg. Nut butters are really expensive. I buy peanut butter and just some nuts and seeds to top my oats and smoothies. I also don’t buy “organic” stuff. They’re SO expensive. Beansare the same, the “organic” label is in my opinion a way to get more profit but there’s no guarantee that they’re actually better for you than the normal beans.

[@Cchhaarrlloottee]

Honestly what I took away from the documentary was everyone can include more fruit and veg, whether you eat meat or not. Any reduction in meat has good effects on the environment, animal welfare and on humans, so even if people start with Meat free Mondays, or two meatless meals a week, it will make a huge difference on a global scale. I feel like on a global scale, just reducing meat from a few meals a week is far more achievable than an all or nothing approach suggested in the documentary. Each to their own, everyone has different lifestyles. Loved this video Sezzy.

[@jesss7930]

Anytime something is processed, the cost increases (gotta factor in workers, factories, additives, mixed ingredients, transport costs, etc...) so “plant based” items that aren’t fruit, veggies or legumes as they’re found in nature are going to be so expensive! Then factor in that available protein is much lower (g for g) in plants vs meats. Then add that you need to eat a huge volume of plants to reach the same protein or fat requirements your body needs that are available in much smaller quantities of meat. Then add the cost of supplements that aren’t in plants (like B12 and collagen). It’s possible to live healthy on plant based or vegan diets, but it’s crazy expensive and to be honest - think of how much crop space is required for massive volumes of plants, and the environmental impacts of factories making tofu, dips, supplements, etc. It’s a lot easier and more affordable to be healthy when you’re eating meat, and it can actually be so much better for the planet.

sezzy, have you looked into fresh fruit and veg shops in your area? much less plastic involved generally and i also find it waaaaay cheaper than coles or woollies - i do my groceries for about a third of the price if i make it to the smaller grocers in my area. only downside is they do usually have shorter hours than coles or woollies, but it's not as minimal as like a farmers market. tends to be better for the environment too because they get their produce locally rather than shipping in from major farms across the country.

i feel like eating plant based 70 percent of the time, and “normal” (for lack of better word) for the other 30 percent of the time, is incredibly beneficial for your health and for the planet. some vegans truly believe that you have to go all in or be all out, that kind of mindset is completely counter productive.

I get what you mean but as the other commenter said that’s only if you’re making the change for personal/health reasons.

Any advice for a xc athlete planning on going vegan? Include budgeting too, i dont like boring meals like sezzy too.

[@LiziStardust]

Good on you Sarah and Kurt! Whether your vegan or not you are still promoting healthy vegan food which is great for the animals and the planet! When I lived in Australia my vegan food bill for just myself was like 40. But I only bought fruit and vege from markets, made my hummus, falafel, soy milk etc, I dont buy organic unless it's cheap and i also eat gluten so i guess alot of cheap foods like whole wheat pasta have gluten.

[@MadisonTiahn]

That’s a months worth of groceries for me. 😂 That dinner though... YUM.

[@_ejuul]

Same

[@unefillesimplee]

A month of groceries for me and my bf!

[@dianasmothers6258]

Same. My husband and I have been vegan for over 4 years. Our groceries average around $150 every two weeks. We try to get bulk foods when we can especially for nuts, seeds, nutritional yeast, oats, granola, rice, pasta, lentils, etc. Most veggies and fruits (fresh or frozen) are reasonably priced at our local stores. We also don't pay much attention to organic labels. Canned beans are typically pretty cheap, and tofu is always available and inexpensive where I live. I feel like there's definitely a learning curve when it comes to vegan shopping the smart way. Just takes a little research and a bit of practice to get used to it.

[@alexdelalune]

Hey Sarah! Being vegan isn't expensive. Dips and pre packaged stuff (especially if its organic) is always going to be expensive to buy whether you're vegan or not and its so easy to make hummus yourself you just blend a can of chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt. Takes like 2 minutes!

How has your skin been? It seems that for me if I overload on healthy fats my skin breaks out, specifically forehead/brow area, which is correlated with liver.

[@kabean09]

Loved this video so much! A couple years ago, I went vegan for a few months just to see if I could challenge myself to cook different meals, like you did. It was a really fun challenge and I learned that I actually really like plant-based meals! I try not to eat a ton of red meat myself these days, mostly chicken and I do eat eggs. It's better for the planet, and it's apparently good for your colon health too. Yay for plants!

[@haylapentland-withington5365]

Hey Sarah, coles and woolies have a soft plastic recycle bin were you can recycle all that plastic! it’s a pretty nifty system, they make furniture out of it (:

[@kiraleederriman7698]

- hpw hey!! On an episode on war on waste they debunked that the plastic actually goes straight to the landfill. It’s essentially set up to ensure people keep buying their products 😢

[@haylapentland-withington5365]

Kiralee Derriman i watched that too! But they actually do recycle it!! They tracked it and the tracker went to the landfill! But definitely, REDUCE before the other rs is preferred lol (:

[@juliara8104]

As a broke uni student who tries to eat mostly plant based, making dips on my own is a life saver! and i do indeed spent much less on groceries, but again, i never liked eggs and meat that much to begin with :) as the nice saying goes: " we don't need a few people doing everything perfectly, we need a lot of people just doing the best they can :)

[@katriinaclaiire4283]

I’m lovinggggg that you did this and watched the documentary because I totally messaged you about it and was looking for your opinion on it!

[@katriinaclaiire4283]

Kata Reddy I just dm her in insta hoping someone sees it 🙃

[@stephilareine4223]

oh my goodness, you guys need to come to the UK for a food haul if you do a holiday - we do our shop for 2 people, and maybe some extras when people come over, it's around £100 in Aldi/lidl/asda and it's all organic, free range and the juiciest freshest fruit and veg - It's soooo expensive over there! The food lasts for weeks as we try to freeze everything and apparently preserves all the nutrients so there's no veggies that go off in this house! Slaying it guys

[@kristenm9080]

Congratulations on everything you’re achieving!!! With life, business, family, everything!!! I love you heaps!!!

[@LaurenVacula]

going WFPB changed everything for me! I have more energy than ever and it feels incredible! It's so freaking awesome that you are doing this plant-based challenge!

[@kitsoramano5454]

All I saw was "Sarahs Day" and I immediately clicked on the video. I didn't even check the title

[@alisatkachova1597]

I am a vegetarian for may years now, but I never pressured anyone into it. I believe, every effort counts. Buying organic meats and eggs does help. Lowering you intake of those also helps. Not everybody can go completely vegan and you don't have to. There are ways to be mindful and do better without sacrificing the things you love eating. I am so happy that you guys think about those things.

[@lunajoy3917]

I just have a question ! Why did you weigh your fruit and nuts for your snack? :)

[@Evemend79]

What happened to intuitive eating?

[@rachaelfetherston1310]

You should do videos where you show us what you got in your weekly shop and give us dinner ideas!

[@micahjayne163]

The rate fox is growing is INSANE! I swear it feels like I watched your labour vlog yesterday!! 🤯🙊

[@valeriadelrio-rodriguez4953]

Hey sezzy so the best diet in realitty is the blue zone diet. It's based off the modern communities with the most centernarians. All in all 95% plant based 5% animal based. And on the website it mentions things more in detail so how much fish, eggs(w.yolk) and chicken is recommended a week. And says no to cow dairy and yes to goat/sheep dairy. Fermented though (yogurt and cheese not even for milk) something you can do is 3-4 days vegetarian and the other days chicken/fish.

[@amykate9765]

I’m currently drinking a chai tea because I just watched one of your old videos where you showed your recipe for chai tea 😍 Its crazy watching your old videos and then your new videos. You’ve come such a long way xx

[@poppy2443]

I’ve been doing vegetarian, moving towards vegan, and it’s been cheaper grocery shopping for sure for me :) I buy a lot of groceries from Costco though in bulk and that helps save money on berries and such. If I don’t go through it all I freeze it for smoothies. So awesome that even if you don’t do plant based for moral reasons, it still reduces consumption of meats still helps our planet 🌏💕

[@elissabaker1100]

Such a good vlog. I was talking to my friend on Friday about this and have also decided to be more plant based. Love how you uploaded it on a Sunday night gives me more motivation for the week. I haven’t watched the documentary yet but hoping to this week. Would love to see more plant based recipes in your blogs. X

[@chelseacarter6218]

Omg! My husband and I just watched that documentary and are trying it out for the week too!! This video is PERFECT timing!!

[@kaylaslaybaugh1122]

I pay about $35-40 a week for groceries and I'm vegan! I like that you both are trying plant based for a week. :)

[@veganperspective_1763]

So glad you are incorporating plant based foods into your diet! It is SO healthy and amazing for your body. There are so many plant based and vegan options that do not have to be expensive. Budgeting each week and including beans, legumes, fruits, veggies... and some vegan ice cream sometimes ;) can be inexpensive. Thank you for sharing!

[@riannansheree9635]

LOVE THE EDITING OF YOUR VIDEOS LATELY SEZZY 💜💜💜💜

[@sarahmckenzie3929]

1. I only made it past your breakfast and just wanted to thank you so much for giving plant based food a try!! ❤️. It’s so easy once you get used to it. 2. My mouth hit the floor when you told us your grocery bill LOL. I’ve been Vegan for nearly 8 years and haven’t spent that much a week. Or even two weeks lol 3. LOL at Kurt for thinking that honey comes from plants. 4. Fox is THE cutest baby ever!! 5. Back to the video. ❤️ from Canada.

[@courtneyadams1866]

I’m vegan and spend $30 per week on groceries 😂

[@MrsDogLover]

Damn, how? What does your daily meal lineup usually look like?

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

I used to spend around 30€ per week too but now I need to save money and I spend only 10€ per week and it is going fine (no junk food)

[@jlib7389]

Why would anyone hate on her? She's so down to earth I love it!

[@meganford2285]

Eating mindlessly while you work or watch tv distracts you from the food, in turn, you do not feel satisfied after. You should try eating without doing other things. I notice you always eat while you work and that kind off "mindless" eating will not satisfy you and you will definitely always still think you are hungry. Try listening to something while you eat but keeping the main focus on your meal.

[@kristenwilkins1793]

sarah !!!! i’ve loved your channel and specifically your what i eat in a days ! i’m a new college student (ugh) and i super struggle w ibs and acne (and like a million other things) your videos have helped me so much but now i’m at school where i can’t cook. if super love if you attempted do do a no cooking what i eat in a day (i only have a microwave in the dorm) k love you byeee

[@SimplySavannah]

I CLICKED ON THIS SOO FAST

[@faithoshea2811]

About the plastic wrapping in the fridge totally understand, just thought I would let you know because I don think many people know, but Woolworths has a soft plastic recycle bin, all the packaging that your fruit and veg come in, you can just chuck it in the soft plastic bin and its recycled !! Just wanted to let you as I only found out around a month ago !! xxx love you

[@siennamckenzie1817]

I have been thinking on starting to eat healthy and getting fitter but I have no idea were to start

[@meaganrohler3636]

Sienna McKenzie My suggestion would be to think long term/lifestyle More than an experimental diet/workout routine. Something to remember is that you can always be a little healthier than the day before.. or the week or month before. There will always be people more and less in shape and healthy than you, but never let it discourage you. Let people inspire you, but ignore those who judge! I don’t know where you are in your lifestyle, but let me make a couple suggestions that can maybe help.. One is to pick up a new good habit or drop a bad one frequently (weekly or daily for some.. others may take months.) For example if you drink soda every day, try to go every other day, and then sometime one soda a week, and possibly almost never.. Try to cut back on things like that.. sugary or processed items.. You don’t have to cut back to nothing with everything, but each healthy choice makes you a little healthier. Likewise add in things that are healthy, and become increasingly healthy overtime. Maybe you are skipping fast food or processed pastas more, but what do you eat? Think healthy fat (such as avocados, to help you digest) healthy carbs (present in most fruits, vegetables, and grains for energy,) and healthy protein (lean meats like turkey or beans, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.. for muscle strength and tone.) It’s important to balance these things so that you are giving your body energy and keeping it fueled and taken care of. When you think “healthy foods,” think of the things you enjoy.. If you absolutely hate avocados, buy something else you like.. Love sweet potatoes? They are so good for you and you also enjoy them (for this example anyway,) so buy them instead! When trying to be healthy, get things that are pretty raw, but all things you enjoy. It’s important to enjoy what you eat, and as you become more familiar with things, your pallet will start to expand to new things. I recommend using technology to encourage you, not overwhelm you. This can be tricky.. So here’s an example: Instead of googling lists of what foods are good for you and why, I like to choose one thing. Let’s say I’m snacking on almonds or want to maybe buy some, I look up “what are the health benefits of almonds?” And then I become even more encouraged to eat that healthy thing that I was already enjoying. When it comes to exercise, doing 5 minutes of anythingggg daily makes a difference. I recommend finding anything active that you find fun and doing it regularly. I’m not a gym girl, but I still work out. Here’s some fun workout ideas!! :) Swimming, surfing, boating, hiking, walking, tennis, ultimate frisbee, frisbee golf, hula hooping (try a fitness hoop!,) Zumba, Pilates, Yoga, snow shoeing, skiing, biking, dancing (even in your bedroom!! :)) Some of these things you can take classes for as well, which can also help keep you on track. It’s very very important not to overwhelm yourself!! Just do one or two things at a time for healthier food and fitness. If you try to change your diet and fitness too suddenly, you’ll likely want to quit or fill up on sweets or something. Don’t feel guilty if you allow yourself a pizza night with friends to give yourself a little break.. if you don’t want to mess up being healthy too much, you could eat a salad or fresh produce before going to pizza and then maybe one piece would make you fill full. Never deprive yourself, just adapt what can satisfy your cravings. In addition to these food and fitness things, it’s important to get well rounded vitamins and minerals. I recommend a multivitamin and possibly some omegas, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and perhaps others. You could ask your dr. Others I take (which you can just incorporate into food) is ginger (settles the bloated/uncomfortable tummy,) cinnamon, and Apple cider vinegar. Don’t forget to drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and enjoy some sunshine. Remember to love your body and don’t forget that you’re working with it, not against it. Try to listen to what it needs. Most importantly SMILE. You are making a positive change towards your body, and it’s important to keep a positive mindset on board. Best of luck to you!💕

[@siennamckenzie1817]

Thank you Meagan Rohler I will keep all of your tips in mind. I do walk every day for at least 30 minutes in the morning and sometimes at night and I also try and fit in running every now and then. My main problem is my eating habits which you have definitely helped me by slowly not eating foods with high sugar levels etc. Thank you so so much hope you have an amazing day 😁

[@emiliaarya3614]

As a vegan I love seeing that you and your family are open to vegan options!💓 Veganism truly is awesome for the animals and the environment (besides our own health) and changing just one meal a month, one meal a week or even one meal a day is definitely better than nothing so I’m glad that you are advertising that on your channel!🌱 I hope that in the future you can keep implementing more and more vegan foods in your diet and make more plant based what I eat in a day ;)
