What I Eat in a Day | Raw Vegan Healing Protocol

In this video you will see the two staples I had during my 4 weeks of being raw vegan (I was doing the Goodbye Lupus Healing Protocol). Today was a lower calorie day for me but the reality of what I'd eat some days because of a busy schedule. I also include tofu, edamame, guac with veggies, and chia puddings on days when I need more food. I will have to show you all that in another video.

I didn't get as many calories as I wanted to in this video but here is what I ate on this day. Would you all want to see a what I eat in a day video where I track my calories? Like this video so I know how interested you all are!

[@anniebeard6503]

Sorry intermittent fasting...I usually do 8/16 or 6/18 which has helped all my healing

[@sandibellack6528]

This is SO helpful! Would love to see more videos like this!

[@federicoflores3456]

Woooow I’m starting the protocol and honestly I was not very happy to start eating just salads but this one looks great!

[@mv2537]

Please keep updating us on Dr. G's protocol. I find her information to be not as forthcoming as she claims it to be (except for links to sign up for her $$$ learning groups). So this has been very helpful.

[@TheDevonblacksmith]

@Taiwo Omotosho those links dont work now she has removed them

[@lyndysimpson1272]

Your video was so wonderful thank you so much for your time. I cannot wait to try that dressing.

[@kimg7582]

Great video. Gives a realistic picture of what you’re eating. Love to see more 😊💛

[@alyssacascos8665]

Please do more of these kinds of videos. Especially with the goodbye lupus protocol❤❤❤btw your skin is glowing😊💜

[@janaam4544]

Great video! You need to grind those flax seeds though first before putting in your salad, as our body cannot digest them whole ;-)

[@suemaynor3366]

Everything looked wonderful. I have Lupus and would love to see more of you recipes for health. Take care

[@daisylewis8632]

Thank you so much for making this video, I'm doing a 30 day raw vegan and seeing your video helps me keep going :)

[@victoriayepez6732]

Hi. This Victoria from California. My doctor told me not to eat bell pepper, tomatoes, Alfalfa sprouts, potatoes. Because it causes alot of inflammation.

[@MarieObscured]

After seeing what a day of eating looks like on this protocol I think I'm going to try it! I've already been making smoothies like that and was surprised how easy they are to digest after being on low fiber for an upper GI flair. Seems to be helping! Thank you for sharing your experience with us 💜

[@MsXtraordinary]

This video is so helpful . You're ok with eating nightshade vegetables? I've read that nightshade vegetables are not good for those who have lupus.

[@HealWithSamantha]

I thought that too but I have had no issues since starting the protocol.

[@Se7enevil]

Live Hope Lupus hi please Don’t eat any veg/fruit with LECTINS -tomatoes,cucumbers ,peppers you wil never heal lupus ...i just find out! check dr Gundry -Plant Paradox he’s got plenty information about immune diseases on KZbin ...I want to do raw with dr.Goldner and Gundry protocol ...I think that medication may give false picture about inflammation that’s why you feel ok but lectin proteins are very bad for us....Trust me I’m on the same boat 😔💪❤️

[@Raji11214]

@@HealWithSamantha so do you eat as many nightshade veggies as you want including tomatoes, peppers, spices, and potatoes? I was on strict aip but have started to eat nightsgades now and I think I feel better after eating them and I have srogrens and can feel saliva forming in my mouth after really hot peppers.

[@kathleenross7059]

I loved the video! I’m having such a hard time with nutrition. I get too thin sticking with fruit and veggies but feel sick when I add other items like dairy. I have Lupus among other autoimmune diseases.....plus I just got released from ER with pneumonia. I enjoy your videos and look forward to them. Thank you

[@randomname4726]

Could you find some higher calorie foods that you feel good on? Nuts and seeds, root vegetables, oats, avocado etc.

[@pattyranweiler8492]

I enjoyed the info you shared and am just starting with this plant based eating. I am looking forward to more ideas and tips so I can stay on track with my goals. Thanks you!

[@jmc8076]

Congrats and keep it up! FYI a Nutribullet works too if you can’t afford a VM. Do same 8 cups (packed) of greens 75% of largest NB container, 25% fruit and handful or more of chia/flax x 3 per day. Also drink min 96 oz water. Dr G says to not incl lettuce in smoothies but I have in a pinch esp good ones like romaine, turnip/mustard greens and don’t forget herbs like parsley etc that are loaded with vitamins. Also guac is easy to make and good for dip with raw veg. I steam some for dinner. I’ve been following Dr G’s protocol like you on my own for 1-2 yrs and reduced meds. I’ve been sick a long time so it’s a process. If I was more strict I’d be even better. Good luck!

[@nevergetthenameiwant]

Do you use 8 cups of greens per day on the 6 week protocol?

[@rolaalkhatib1247]

Great and helpful video😍 , please make more videos like this!♥️

[@juliafelicione2667]

GET OUT BRB GONNA GO FREEZE MY GRAPES 🍇 Seriously though, while I’m vegan for ethical reasons and my normal diet is decently healthy, you’ve been giving me so many tips to slightly change my recipes and get SO many more nutrients. For example, tonight I’m using a butternut squash pizza crust from Trader Joe’s instead of a grain one! That plus a ton of spinach and nutritional year is going to be SO good and SO much healthier than just having a grain crust 🥰

[@HealWithSamantha]

YESS! The small steps make a difference!

[@yolandastanford9223]

[@isabellahelgogaard6115]

Thanks for sharing. I have wanted to try the protocol but not been able to figure out exactly what to eat and not to eat 🤷‍♀️ where do you find inspiration on what to eat? I would love more videos like this one 😊

Can I just say you have the most beautiful eyelashes I’ve ever seen

[@HealWithSamantha]

Thank you!

[@meganconnors2103]

Have you tried massaging the avocado with the greens? I love doing that. It takes half the work out of chewing. After that I sprinkle on everything else (pepper, lemon juice etc.). Also I love how you add spinach and kale to all of your meals. Brilliant!

[@Amora986]

I love frozen grapes & i do that all the time ,im so happy yu are eating Raw Vegan!! You are sooo Pretty &very Inspiring!!🤭🍌🍇🍍🍓🍑🥭💜☮💚🎈

[@karlint39]

As someone with lupus who is looking into Dr. Goldner’s protocol, it was interesting to see what you eat in a day. I do think eating this way is quite a lot of work. Did you also find that it was expensive? For people who commute to work or with kids, etc. it might be too time consuming. I wonder if there’s an 80/20 version of eating this way where you can get 80 percent of the benefit with 20 percent of the effort. Buying a lot of food at once and putting what you can in the freezer for the smoothies seems like a good idea. But making the salad and salad dressing, while high on the nutrition score, seems like it wouldn’t be practical to do every day. I’ve heard that if you eat the flaxseeds without grinding them you won’t get the nutritional benefits from them. Do you ever grind your flaxseeds? (That’s another thing that is a nuisance, since grinding in advance means they can go rancid, and grinding in a cheap coffee grinder might heat them up too much…. Another idea - if you realize that you can’t always be perfect and prepare food like you are planning to do - is there a back-up plan? If you don’t have a back up you might end up going to fast food or eating some kind of junk. But if you have better-than-junk emergency food around, when things don’t go according to plan at least it won’t be a disaster. Your apple in the evening is this back-up food. You’ve already got it figured out.

[@MattieJean22]

Please do more like these! I am starting the protocol on Sunday and really need more ideas for foods. I found I was actually prepping all wrong

[@alexandrapimenta3737]

hello samantha, im very happy for you and happy that you are feeling much much better. i really like your video because it gives me an idea of what you eat on a day and would be awesome to see more videos like this in which can help me or us to get better. Hugs and blessings

[@mangobabytx3130]

Not to be a Debbie downer... and I am very exited to see how this works out for you but I did read in the John Hopkins website that garlic was listed as one of the five things to avoid for lupus. Have you heard that or maybe there is more updated info on that.

[@HealWithSamantha]

Patti Cabotaje yes, I have seen this too and actually made a video on it in the past. It can boost the immune system. With the way my numbers have turned out, I am not sure what to believe and I will continue to make my garlic dressing.

[@adriennea.2460]

@@HealWithSamantha My Greek heritage screamed in agony when I read that garlic should be avoided for lupus! :( I'm encouraged to see that you are keeping it in your diet here; there are so many benefits to garlic! I am so reluctant to let it go, and am too hoping that given the elimination/re-calibration of other habits and environmental elements, that it won't be the straw that breaks the camels back. :)

[@helenhucker346]

Thank you so much for your videos. I would certainly be interested in how many calories you consume on your diet. Take care.

[@lauraandradevazquez2071]

So my Doctor told me I need to stay away from tomatoes and cucumbers bc they cause inflammation which may lead to flare ups. But especially no garlic bc of our overproductive immune system. But yes by all means share more videos if what you eat so I can get ideas. Thank you and take care.

[@sunflower8599]

So helpful! Can you do more videos of what you eat under the protocol? For how long do you do eat this protocol?

[@getwellchanel]

Hey Samantha. I wanted to know if so much leafy greens (vitamin k) affects your blood coagulation.?? I have Lupus and its so weird how more greens helped me feel so much better but it also cause my blood to get too thick and hard to get through my small veins/arteries and now im on blood thinners( ugh, You know the Lupus struggle).

[@yunassecretrapcareer6106]

Newbie here. Diagnosed in August. Had a severe first flare after I was started on plaquenil. Well I went super plant based but would have salmon or tuna. Then idk what happened, idk of it was that I was feeling great that I began eating so much junk and adding meats, breads, cheese. I’ve been feeling nauseous and just not well at all. 😖😖 i just get so tempted and want to eat everything! I know it’s not good for me. The healthy meals were actually making me feel well.. my stomach wasn’t hurting, no nausea, no bloated feeling... after I would eat I would feel nourished and not over indulged.

[@kathleenross7059]

Paola Banuelos oh can I relate! I love junk food but my lupus doesn’t! I’m having a hard time getting off sugar!

[@nicolaackhurst7554]

Have you lost weight by doing this? I very interested as I have gained so much weight since my lupus diagnosis, not sure if it’s the prednisilone or what. Very frustrating on top of everything else. Thanks xx

[@LindaLouMercer]

Thanks. Is the protocol RR with Dr. Brooke Goldner? I'm doing same. Where did you get that "raw" sauerkraut? Or what is your recipe? I know store bought may have ingredients not allowed on her protocol. Please let me know. Thanks and congrats. I'm hoping to reverse my Lupus and Sjogrens.

[@HealWithSamantha]

I use the raw green organic sauerkraut by Wildbrine. It’s just green cabbage, sea salt, and garlic.

[@margaretstark3566]

So it is just salads everyday for 6 weeks plus the smoothies?

[@isabellelanzarin7155]

mmm for the rapid recovery im not sure it"s ok to have vinegar, cacao and fermented food, later would be ok but to heal not sure...im just starting and im trying to do it rapid ;)

[@HealWithSamantha]

I believe vinegar is no problem at all but you may be right about the other two.

[@noellet62able]

Oh my gosh your videos are so helpful to me , I’ve been diagnosed with Sjögrens even thou this was with no tests done . I suffer from really bad dry mouth & burning tongue & insomnia. I’ve also always had hvp & had cells removed. I’m 34 year old girl from Ireland I also follow you on instagram. Your content & doctor g’s helps me a lot . My doctor is starting me on plaquenil but I’m nervous about trying it , my doctor says it might now bring back my saliva so I think what is the point ?

[@madisonalexander7565]
