How on earth are you so wise at your age?! I only wish I would have had your attitude decades ago. I'll be 51 on Sunday and I'm losing weight (I have about 100 pounds or so to go) but it's more challenging as I'm facing menopause. Good for you that you've turned your life around while you're young. I wish you all the best!
51?? if thats you in the picture, you look more like 27 :P
panda 789 Yes, that's me! Thank you so much! 😊
DeeDee Blanscet impossible that you are 51!!
Thank you so much, what a compliment!
DeeDee Blanscet impossible!!! 51 nooo wayyyyy
Your voice is so calming and serene! It helps me so much to listen to you when I'm internally freaking out... I'm on only my second day, so far so good! But your calm and peaceful aura, definitely helps me stay calm through out this process... I'm attempting to quit cold turkey, I'm kind of that all or nothing type of personality... I'm gonna do this, and you are so inspiring and helping me slowly realize I CAN!
Vital Virgo
Hows it going for you 3 years on...?
I am on the ketogenic diet right now. I had lost 30 lbs, but I fell off the diet and gained back 8 lbs, so I'm now at 22 lbs lost. I'm getting back on track and hope to lose approximately 85 lbs more. When I am in ketosis I have killer workouts, and it has gotten rid of my arthritis as well.
I don't know if your aware but the impact you have had on on most of us watching is extraordinary.
This is the type of content people need to see, I like how you make it seem obtainable for everybody, because it is! So many people think it's a pill or just getting surgery, or starving yourself, etc etc. Watching your videos I realize, that sure trying to get in shape after not caring for so long is gonna sucks at first but the results, which aren't always physical are amazing.Sometimes the results are: You slept decent because you've been working out, your anxiety or depression diminishes, you can jog/walk a mile, or you just all confident and happy with yourself aresome of the best results you see/ feel. Losing weight is truly a lifestyle change, it's making a commitment to yourself. That's the truth. If you want to love who you are and feel comfortable in your own skin YOU have to be the one to decide that and make positive little steps towards that goal. No one can force you and nothing can help you unless your truly want it.Thanks for being real. I love your input on weight loss/ your story!!💗 your such a brave person for getting in front of the camera. Keep it up girly you are on the path to some greatness😊Hope to see more videos!xoxo
Love that you aren't calorie counting! When I originally lost 65lbs 10 years ago I counted calories and had a borderline eating disorder. No surprise that I gained all the weight back and then some because it wasn't realistic. What you are doing is life time changes! You are so lucky to figure this out so young!
Thank you! Its never too late :)
You are such an inspirational, wise young lady - and so very beautiful - inside and out. I wish I had your strength and determination when I was in my 20's. I'm 36 and 2 years into keto - and have plateaued for the past 4 months. 114 lbs down, and still have over 200 lbs to go. People like you that share your stories, share part of your lives with us - you have no idea how much it means to people like me who struggled, daily, with the battle going on inside my own head. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together for us. It is greatly appreciated. Keep shining!
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt comment. It means a lot to me. Keep going! :)
Please keep posting, I just started my journey and I am needing help! This is making it seem so much more doable and obtainable. I would love to see more work out options or what you feel worked for your body. I'm very afraid of going to the gym for self confidence issues and fear of not knowing what to do there. So again thank you for sharing your journey it really helps :)
Just keep fighting and believing in yourself :) Thanks for your support!
have you ever tried cauliflower rice . it's really good and it's satisfied my need for rice.
Yes I have, one of my favorites!
you remind me much of xiomara in Jane the virgin, great video
icic5 yea her eyes and eyebrows mostly hsha
and her eyes
I would love a meal prep video!
I love you, I lost 100 pounds when I was in highschool, not too long ago (I'm 19) and i love seeing other people who went through the same thing as me! So many people don't understand! Im thinking of making videos, because I became a certified holistic nutritionist!
Janna, you should make videos,you'd be helping people.Ive always struggled with my weight, recently found out I have Type 2 Diabetes,and changed my eating the next day, I'm down 32 pounds,alot more to go.This girl,Jovanna is amazing!
I'm loving your path to plant based eating
thank you for cutting to the chase and getting right to the good stuff! i really like your videos! you look awsome!
Thank you!
❤
I was about to make some nachos but then I started watching this and realized I probs shouldn't...
Proud of you 💙
You're right about that, girl.
I'm on the intermediate diet. I start with an ACV, lemon juice, water, cayenne or black 2 times a day, I drink a lot of water. I'll have a Green Detox drink with 1 scoop of collagen peptides and benefiber, berries, flaxseed or chia seed and kale or spinach. Eggs and toast with avocado or oatmeal for breakfast. Salad with fruit. Peppers, cucumber, celery and hummus to snack. Fish, salmon, chicken or turkey, vegetables with tea for dinner. I cut out red meat, whites, pasta, no sugar but I do have 1 cheat day guilty pleasure is chips or ice cream. You are doing great and I love the video
Great video! Just an FYI my FAVORITE herbal tea is Celestial Seasoning Sleepytime tea. It doesn't make you sleepy, it's just caffeine free. But, when I'm bored with my ice water I will drop a bag in and leave it there all day (adding more water as I drink). It's really delicious. Sometimes I'll add a slice of lemon or ginger. Good luck on your journey and continued success your way!
Dee Dee I'm going thru same, I'm 55 yrs old..going thru Menopause...Great for you honey!Jovana
Please keep making more videos! You are so motivational ☺
Ive watched a bunch of fitness vloggers but no one inspired me and give me motivation like you did! Your honesty and wisedom shines straight from your heart! Thank you, im so thankful that ive found you. Keep it going! Xoxo from israel
Could you do a workout video to show us what you typically did at the gym?
I'm considering it! It's a comfort level thing :)
I love almond unsweetened milk. I have a 1/2 of peaches or blueberries and 1 cup of almond milk smoothie for breakfast, yum!!
I can't get over how great your face looks. When I lost weight (and mind you, it was a very minor amount of weight), I started looking sad permanently. My cheeks just never recovered.
I'm interested in the pcos. Although I've never been diagnosed as having it, I'm fairly certain I do have it. Have your symptoms decreased or subsided with the healthier diet and weightless? Thanks in advance. Candace
Video coming soon!
Jovana Borojevic awesome!! Can't wait. I get notified every time you post! Thanks!!
You look Fabulous! I am getting so motivated by your videos. I am doing the weight watchers ( for the 100th time lol) . I lost 50 pounds last years but I had a lot of dental work so I gained about 35 pounds back. I'm trying to get back on track.i Agree if you have a mad craving you are better off to have a small version or just have it. I found I will eat so much more trying to eat all around the thing I'm craving and then just have what I was craving. Your skin is sooo beautiful you have like a beautiful " Glow" about it. You would be an Amazing weight loss leader or life coach, you are so intelligent and inspiring. What is giving you that beautiful glow , Is it the Chia? Thank you for a motivating video, please do more videos you are helping me so much! I am trying to give up my Diet Coke but I love it so much I'm cutting back a lot and drinking more water.
A nutrient dense diet will naturally give you a "glow", I suppose! Thanks for your kind words.
I love the work you did in every single of your videos 👏👏 you explain things very clearly and it realy helps us ☺☺ i begun my journey in february and i lost arournd 30 lbs but i have a lot of more to lost and your videos help me a lot so thank you . I living in Ottawa, Ontario and it Will be a pleasure if we can meet one Day ☺☺ also, may be i Will contact your nutrisionist to help me with my meals plan
Thanks for your kind words and congrats on your progress so far! :)
Hi there! You're so inspirational! Thank you for sharing your story and tips it is so helpful! Can you please do like meal/recipe/meal prep videos that show what you eat?!
Thank you! Yes these types of videos will come in the future :) Still getting comfortable with filming.
I love your videos. you are such an inspiration! can you elaborate on what the issue is with root vegetables?
There is no issue with root vegetables! In my situation, it is recommended I eat more cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, greens etc) vs. root vegetables.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification. Please keep up the good work!
I really like your videos! I am 2 months into my weight loss journey. Your videos are very helpful!
this has helped me more than you know, thank you !
Sun Warrior protein powder is vegan friendly and tastes great. I usually use vanilla or chocolate.
Sounds like your nutritionist has you dialed in pretty good. You might consider adding acetyl L-carnitine to your daily supplements. acetylized not regular L-carnitine. It will increase your body's ability to burn fat for fuel. It's great stuff for losing fat.
Keep up the good work, you're doing great. I'm going to sub so I can keep up with your progress.
Thanks for the pointer! :D
You should try the Orgain plant based protein powder. The chocolate flavored one is amazing! I like it way better than the vega ones
Does anybody have tips for keeping energy without eating too much?
thebirdisblue whole starches or grains like oatmeal or sweet potato... they metabolize slowly and keep you full for awhile
Thank you :)
thebirdisblue I like to buy little chicken kebabs and just eat one if I get hungry between meals. quick healthy protein, easy to grab and low in fat and carbs. perfect snack to fight hunger! :)
TigerLillie good idea
thebirdisblue for this issue check out LCHF or keto (secret is in healthy fats and reduction of sugar and junk carbs)
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Gave me so many new tips and tricks to try so thank you!
You're so welcome!!! Thank YOU
Thanks for the tips! ☝️Smaller plate 🍽 and drop the pop hehe
Jessica Ayliin whoa I kinda do haha! 😊
Great Job.! portion control has always been my issue as well.. I too, have switched to the smallest size plates, unless its mostly veggies.. then i don't measure those, if its a mixed dish (like rice w/ veggies) then I use the smaller size. I lost 6 lbs, just switching to all plant based diet, then I did a juice cleanse for 12 days and lost another 8 lbs. I'll use the juice if i can't get some extra lbs off... but will do juice or smoothie for breakfast and/or snack. Its all about mind set.. and being mindful of what we put into our bodies....! Jo
kale, spinach ,rocket ,carrot ,apple ,banana ,blue berry , flax seeds, chia seeds, plant protein powder, almond mil, few almond nuts and a good blender
Jovana, what i cold turkey diet/regime? I am not english speaking, maybe I misunderstand, but you have mentioned something like this multiple times in yor videos. Thanks and love.
When she said she did something "cold turkey" that's a phrase we use to say that she changed it abruptly.
She didn't use any method to ease her way into it slowly. She went right from eating very poorly straight into eating very healthy without any transition period.
One of my problems for losing weight is that I really hate vegetables and this is something I want to get past to eat healthier but I have no idea how. Does anyone have tips on how I can get myself to eat more vegetables without feeling like spitting them straight out? It would be a great help to me!
Thank you so much for all your tips and advice!! Out of all the videos i have seen yours i find are the most helpful.. ❤
You are so awesome. Just discovered your channel! Thanks for sharing. One thing I wanted to ask is if you ate cheese when starting? I know you had yogurt, but cheese? What are your thoughts. I subscribed! 😊
The only cheese I ate was small amounts of feta and goat :) Thank you!
i wish you made more videos like this...
Soon!
pumpkin seed butter with apple is good as well
you are amazing! I love your personality in your videos and how you explain everything, you seem so genuine; thank you! also, is your protein lower since you switched out diary yogurt to non dairy? also, also, how do you find unsweetened non dairy yogurt? all of the ones I find in my side of CA are sweetened, overly processed, and low in protein :'(
additionally, do you find your groceries cost more now, as you changed what you eat? how do you budget all these amazing foods to help you stay fit ? (sorry so many Qs!)
Not at all! I eat LOTS of protein from plant and animal sources. The two brands of unsweetened coconut yogurt that I know of are Silk or Yoso. You'll have to go to a health food store to find them!
I'm going to keep a look out and get the coconut yogurt! Dairy yogurt hurts my stomach :( Thank you, can't wait to see many more of your videos!! ♡
I think You'd Love the Vega Sport Vanilla it's Absolutely Delicious! So glad to hear Plant based. I just recently went low carb too. Great video 👌😉💚💜!
I'm not a Vega fan! Currently drinking Iron Vegan Sprouted Protein and loving it.
How do you have 7K subscribers with only 3 videos? Wow! Are you making more soon? Thanks.
Yes I will be trying to put out content somewhat regularly! Just takes a bit in the beginning :)
This video is so good I have learnt a lot from you Thanks
wheat pasta high protein is good for you. I'm still losing weight eating wheat pasta, grain rice. you can eat this and still lose weight. also wheat bread 35 calories a slice is good.
Thank you for sharing this with us! I struggle with my weight loss. I lose weight then gain it back. It's a roller coaster I'm trying to get off. It is definitely motivating to see someone who did it without being extremely strict. Thanks for the info. :-)
Wow! I always wondered how to watch my portion control, I love how you did it and I'm going
to try your way. Thank you so much for such great advise!
Way to go on the plant based journey! You are an inspiration and on the right track.
your videos are inspirational! btw why did you lower your intake on fruit ? Just curious
perla bernal to cut down on her sugar. Fruit has natural sugar but it's still sugar.
In order to leave room for balance and other foods (E.g. more veggies)! As well as sugar intake.
Thank you! What kind of vegetarian foods do you like to eat? Also, did you have any experience with a change in relationships as you went through your transformation process? Would you be willing to share?
Try genuine health fermented vegan protein powder in vanilla. It's the best I've ever had.
Right now I'm drinking Iron Vegan Sprouted Protein and I'm really liking it! Maybe I'll try this next, thanks!
I had gestational diabetes with my second pregnancy and im not over weight at all.. i did gain weight tho after having both babies.. now im 158 pounds nd i was 129 before both pregnancies and yes cutting dairy nd bread nd the stuff u mentioned does help weight loss!
Wise beyond your years. You inspire me, Girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I'm a new subscriber and you're such an inspiration!! Try Orgain Organic plant based protein. It tastes delicious and it's soy, dairy, and gluten free. It's also non GMO. I get it at Costco and it's so much better than the other powders out there. Some of them are super gnarly!!
I'm really happy with my current protein, but thank you so much for the tip! You're right, some proteins are stuffed with questionable ingredients.
Jovana Borojevic that's great! It took me a year to find a protein powder I could actually stomach lol. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You're an inspiration. All the best!
Thank you!!!
I'm in love with your eyelashes! Are they naturally this long, or did you use a lash enhancer?
It sounds like you went keto to me. Also zevia helps get those cravings away if you like pops. It’s sweetened with stevia not sugar or sweetener
You are so calm and sweet, I love your demeanor, I enjoy all your videos and the content.
The vega sport mocha flavor is weirdly good. Lol
This is an odd question but since losing weight when you shave your legs, do you find it is a closer shave?
This is awesome this is the best advice ever!!!! Thank you for your honest advice
Hi. Im vegetarian. Can you please tell me what plant based protein you eat ??
I think you are fucked :) I am vegetarian too and i think it is not possible to cut out all carbs. Especially when you know that soya is not as healthy as you can think. You can t live just on vegetables. You can still loose weight and eat healthy but the carbs intake will be higher than for meat-eating people, the weight loose will be slover. You should focus on eggs, cottage cheese, vegan protein shakes and no processed food and minimaze fat intake. It is documented that people on high-carb low-fat diet loose same amount of weight as people on low-carb high-protein diet.
I can suggest an amazing plant based protein if you are interested. let me know!
My main source of plant based protein is tempeh (along with nuts, seeds, lentils etc). I also use Iron Vegan Sprouted Protein.
Pea protein powder is amazing!
I've learned there is protein in almost everything we eat. We don't need the meat but " to each his own". Trying to cut down on the meat, fat and dairy myself. No protein powder needed. :p Meat can replaced with starch.
Jovana, you are completely my favorite person to watch. You are so beautiful, knowledgeable and helpful. I love all of your videos. Thank you so much.
Love your video please do more. Your so inspiring.
i wonder if she lives in country with cold winter:). i think in cold season countries its not possible to have diet withud complex carbohydrates, because you feel so cold all the time:). comes from experience... also i felt low energy without healthy carbs.... i woder i she feels kinda low energy
Can I ask you something? Why do you have to put "artificial" protein powder and not just eat a yogurt or drink some milk? Which are the disadvantages? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Greece!!!!! :)
I avoid those commercial nut and grain waters because they usually add artificial and chemical ingredients that are harmful to your body. If I do have the tools to do so, and if I feel like it because I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, I will make my own organic nut/grain waters (because that's really what they are.) But I only drink those rarely because I don't really care for them and I only drink them when I feel like it. For the most part, I try to stick with pure unpasteurized grass-fed/pasture-raised raw animal dairy, fresh pressed/squeezed fruit juice , herbal teas like Pau d'Arco or Butterfly Pea tea (the latter is AMAZING), unfluoridated water (which is a huge key - alot of bottled waters are sadly fluoridated and cause terrible damage to the human body. (If in doubt or open-minded, research The Fluoride Action Network online or you can watch the documentary "The Great Culling" for more medical and scientific information on that), and sometimes I will drink unfluoridated water with Bragg's ACV/coconut oil and a dash of organic grapefruit juice or cayenne pepper or organic non-GMO pineapple juice added to it. As for food, I avoid any artificial/fake food like "fast food" and anything with artificial ingredients or chemicals. Here's a key tip - read the label and research the ingredients on all sides. Don't necessarily trust what the makers or experts say - because the reality is that they are often paid to tell falsehoods to the public in order to sell their product. Doubt it? Research it) I also endeavor to avoid anything that has been genetically modified (aka GMOs), so if its fruits or veggies or grain or an animal that has been given or exposed to GMOs via their feed or their pasture - then absolutely not. (Research March for Monsanto for more on that and read up both sides of the fence for an informed decision, although - keep in mind, a lot of the companies promoting GMOs are there to sell their method and IMHO, I have found the ex-GMO promoters to be more forthcoming) Also, I avoid eating rice because of the high arsenic count and instead use alternative options for organic grains like barley, amaranth, quinoa, etc. I also avoid eating anything with added artificial hormones, colorings, flavourings, etc. Researching what those ingredients are actually made from and what they can do to the human body alone is abhorrent, to say the least. Be aware when you go out and treat yourself eating out - many places DO not use organic non-GMO produce or foods. As tedious as it is, you have to seek them out but luckily, with the Internet that does much of the search work for you. I also go grocery shopping at organic/natural based grocery stores because they often tend to have better quality products ALTHOUGH (this is key) - even there they sometimes will try to sell the aforementioned. The best advice that I can give to anyone, regardless of how they want to eat or lose weight, is READ labels. If it is not a natural ingredient or has a long chemical name or if your in doubt, RESEARCH. The Internet has made it increasingly easier to do so, so we're not left completely in the dark as we did during the 1990s and prior. Otherwise, I definitely don't believe that one needs to use a gym to lose weight and, despite the fact that I hate exercise and it actually increases my stress (which I'm comfortable and realistic in embracing and I have learned that it is okay! - Haters I don't care what you think of me and it just goes to show you that the so-called experts don't know everything - aka the one-size approach fits all - Newsflash it definitely does not!), I know its something that needs to be done. I personally de-stress indoors rather than outdoors (because I'm one of those people who get stressed out going outside, not because of people but I find outdoor activity more dull/boring than indoor activities like going to a concert, going window shopping, going to see show, do ballet, etc.) and have found that works the best for me, given everything above.
Emily Greene girl what the hell do u eat? I feel like that’s a shorter list
@@Rtytanicj😂😅😜
Run Everything Labs is owned by former Ms. Olympia, Dana Linn Bailey & her husband. They make excellent products! I bought their vegan chocolate protein powder and it's WAY better than Vega. I tried Vega when I first started plant-based protein and it was SO hard to drink. REL's is amazing! I used chocolate almond milk w/it and it definitely tones down the green taste; but even using it w/2% milk wasn't bad at all! (:
Thanks! I drink Iron Vegan and I love it :)
Can u do a video on plant based protein? Can u also do one about by binging? Thank you.
Super helpful, thank you for sharing ♡!
Do you have loose skin? Thanks for videos!! New and I'm loving it! ❤💗💖💕💓
I'm going to make a video on my loose skin soon since it seems to be a hot topic :P Thank you!
Check out garden of life vanilla protein omg so good
I lost 90 pounds still working on it
Did u ever feel like u body was stuck and didn't want to lose more weight?
I really like how you took pictures of the food it really helped to actually know what it looks like .
I was wondering, since you're eating less animal products and more plant based meals now, are you taking any B12 supplements?
I do not take B12!
I use the Vega and the Vanilla is really good! I don't like the chocolate at all either.
For your chicken do you cook it in one of your oils or bake it?
Depends! Both!
How do you keep from getting bored eating seemingly the same few things day in and day out?
I rarely eat the same things lol! I use pinterest a lot for inspiration. I switch up the spices etc. And I experiment with making new dishes that involve veggies/protein sources (different salads, etc)
You look beautiful! Tyfs and cauliflower pizza crust is a great healthy yummy alternative! I purchased the pizza and crust from the grocery store, Kroger. Recipe for homemade crust on Pinterest.
Do you feel weaker since you're eating very in low in carbs?
This was so very helpful!! Thank you!! 😊
So excited for you going plant-based!! It will take your journey to the next level!! Starch Solution by Dr. John McDougall all the way! You need to watch "What the Health" and "Forks Over Knives" on Netflix!!
thank you so much for this!! ❤❤❤
Try Garden of Eden for protein powder, it’s way better then Vega
I really like Vega Vanilla and greens protein powder:)
I don't know why but your background music sounded really festive and christmassy to me haha
Hey! Great video 💚 where r u from?
How long the first did u eat the beginning
I love your hair color is that your natural ? what color?
so inspirational 😍
I recommend you to involve yourself in Intermitent fasting. Dr. Bert Herring way to loose weight. I did it too. Congratulations!! Keep it.
Fasting is not for me :) Thank you!
If you only eating what you saying like you shake and a snack 214 and dinner at night it should be probably between thousand calories
I truly in joy your videos they are very sincere
you are such a motivation I don't know if my comment went through on your past video but did you get any type of surgery or was it all from hard work and dedication? and honestly Jovana you have inspired to keep going and not give up! it is so hard for me I keep falling off the wagon but I hope to finally make a change before I reach a bad breaking point where i am over 300 pounds thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! you are awesome!! you should totally make a fun video on what you like to do or a video where you take us to the gym to work out with you that would honestly be awesome! :) THANK YOU
Thanks for all the support! No surgeries at all. I will consider that type of video, it's just a bit out of my comfort zone at the moment :)
pizza is my number one fav too
Pizza all the way!
Thank you for sharing!
How do you have your coffee each day?
I use Silk coconut coffee creamer
