Here's another important one: forgetting to take a B12 supplement and not including omega 3-rich foods like flax seed, or a handful of walnuts a day.
Do you recommend an omega supplement?
You should ask your doctor or a licensed nutritionist (I’m neither), but if you have flax seed, chia seeds walnuts and also don’t consume too much oil which has omega 6 and competes with the omega 3, then you should be ok.
@@simonamckee2550 which is sunflower oil for example, if anyone is wondering... and it is everywhere in processed food. One reason more to avoid those. For cooking at home rapeseed oil is very good in terms of omega3:6 balance :)
You can get your B12 from enriched foods, besides we don't need that much daily and they body is good at retaining it even though it is a water-soluble vitamin
@@nana-fb4yu That's true. Although most doctors/dieticians will tell you that it's hard to get enough if you don't eat enough foods that are processed to add B12, and they still recommend a supplement. Especially as you age and your body needs more. Although I get some B12 from my plant milk, nutritional yeast (although different brands have more or less, some none) and the fake meats, I choose to still take a supplement, just to be on the safe side.
Been vegan 20 years.... No problems here ✌️😊 Also, I have 3 vegan kids! ❤️
How do *you* do it? I'm trying to raise my daughter vegan.😊
@@LatinaSwagg16 check out Plant Based Juniors - they are 2 vegan mom registered dietitians who have a blog/insta/youtube... supplement guides, recipe books, everything you need!
Amazing!!!! I love to hear that!
That is awesome
👏👏😍 congratz to you 💚 I also have two kids, raising them vegan... How old(young😅) are your kids??
Here's a lil' bonus mistake I wanted to throw in: NOT CHECKING LABELS 😭 Who else has been guilty of this? I definitely was in my early vegan days. Comment if you've made this mistake too!
I went vegan last week and this is so helpful
Just last week I bought a package of veggie burgers. I didn't check the label in store, and later realized that they were vegetarian but not vegan. ☹
@@goodaskale did it happen to be quorn? they're proper sneaky with it. I've met quite a few vegans in my life who assumed all their stuff was vegan but most of their products have egg in it :(
@@spacejazz6272 it was Morningstar Farms. It was my fault though, I know better than to buy food without reading the ingredients.
I did that literally yesterday. I saw "vegan blueberry scones" on the sign, grabbed a box of blueberry scones, mhm they're not the vegan ones, thanks whole foods.
I’m 68 and just starting my second attempt at being vegan. So pleased to have found you, great advice, thanks.
💕
good luck! be proud of yourself for trying
Omg I just started my second attempt at vegetarianism lol yay us
good luck to you!
so so proud of you
Tip for beans: you should soak them overnight so it breaks down the complex sugars and helps them be more digestive. You’re welcome 😉
Yes! This helps a lot. Also to drain off the soaking water, rinse the beans, and cook them in fresh water.
@@aromaofhope yes!! I forgot to add that, thanks 🙏🏾
Absolutely!
What we found that helps is sprouting. We have been a vegan/plant based family for nearly ten years. Some of us in our family are sensitive to beans and some grains, but using the process of soaking: beans, lentils, legumes, peas and seeds, as well as sprouting where possible, found lesser irritation due to bloating and gas.
Sprouted quinoa and soaked buckwheat are favourites in our home with sweet spices and slightly sprouted chia seeds, as well, and black bean and pinto (a meaty type of bean) for stews and heavier meals.
Though we have been doing this for years, the science behind it suggests that the process of sprouting results in a reduction of carbohydrates (oligosaccharides) that are not readily absorbed; can cause bloating. Sprouting is also known to lead to an increase in the manufacture of amino acids/proteins making the grain/seed more alkaline.
I'm very sorry to say (and if anyone has any evidence to the contrary I'd be happy to see!), but there really isn't any way to make beans more "digestible" :/ It's largely based on our genetics, and the only sure way for less flatulence is to eat beans more often (so start with smaller portions, gradually add more to your diet). www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-dont-soak-dried-beans-20140911-story.html
I' started eating a vegan diet after the new year and the goal for me was to eat from the ground. No Beyond meat burgers, no oreos but more beans, greens, tomatoes, potatoes, yams... you name it! I love it honestly and so does my body. Down 25lbs
Awesome!! That's the way to go!
thats amazing!! i'm so happy for you :D
@@SweetPotatoSoul how can I give up Beyond burguers?! 😋😋😋 or the Yves Italian veggie ground meat?! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 they are so adictive 😬
@@paolac.1678 make burgers from chopped mushrooms and beans.
How long did it take u to lose 25??
I laughed when you said you often eat a salad out of a mixing bowl. I eat my salad out of a pasta serving bowl.
My pasta bowl has turned into my buddah bowl
Metal mixing bowl here lol
@@nikeotim mine too
Haha! I'm not alone 😋
Now I don't feel so bad!!
80/20 rule is great for non-vegans who want to start eating more plants!
Oh trueee!
Huh? Explain
@@stephfoshoworld
80% of the time, you eat vegan...20% of the time you don't, if desired. I also know people who eat vegan meals Mon-Friday or Sunday-Thursday, and the other 2 days they eat whatever they want...but still in moderation.
@@ktg8670 80% of the food in a well balanced diet is vegan. what youre admitting to there is that a well balanced diet containing meat is healthier than a vegan diet
@@hugh.g.rection5906
In my previous comment, I never made the comment of whether eating meat is or isn't healthier...so?! I was simply answering the question of someone asking what was 80/20.
I personally am not vegan (I wear leather), but I am primarily plant-based and don't ever see myself being vegan. I watch this channel because I like the content and enjoy vegan recipes. I've been primarily plant-based for a little over 4 years, perhaps a little longer. When it comes to eating meat, if I'm craving seafood, I might have it once or twice within a month...and then I may not have it again for several months or even a year or longer...that is the only meat I eat. I simply gave the examples of people I know who aren't vegan, but want to make an effort of simply cutting down on the amount of meat they eat...these particular people were in good health and were not overweight before making the change. In other situations, I have encountered numerous people who were meat eaters who first turned pescatarians or just ate chicken and eggs...some did this for a year or two before completely becoming vegan. Everyone's relationship/journey with food is different...I'm a firm believer of doing what works for you.
Sometimes we as vegans are pushy but we are actually passionate. We believe so deeply in our lifestyle that we forget about what it was like not being vegan. Talking about our lifestyle in love in my opinion is the way to go.
Totally agree!
Can you do videos highlighting one veggie in 3-5 different styles? I tend to buy from farmers market and end up with lots of one produce
Love this idea!
Great idea!!
i do also, and feel so guilty when I throw food away.
Yes!! Just for financial reasons I tend to buy only 4-5 different veg a week and would like new ideas
Yes! Will start doing that :)
Did anyone else give yourself an round of applause after watching this. Jenne helped with my transition over 5 years ago. Just binge watch earlier Q/As, get all your questions answered and live your best life.
Aww, thank you so much!! I'm so honored that I could have helped your transition 💕 Yay 5 years!!!
@@SweetPotatoSoul Honestly could not have done it without the information, rececipies, cookbook and encouragement.
THANK YOU FOR THIS, I AM 18 AND STARTING MY VEGAN JOURNEY ON MONDAY SO THIS CAME AT THE PERFECT TIME!!
Amazing!!! So happy for you!
Thank you❤️❤️
I became a vegetarian when I was 16 because my favourite musician was one. I ate eggs and milk (my mom was afraid I wouldn't have enough nutrition), but no animals, and I felt so much better. I didn't expect that. Sadly, I fell for peer pressure and started eating meat again, but now I'm vegan. Don't forget B12 supplements and to use iodized salt 🙂
So how’s it goin
This was for me 😩😩😩😂😂 I started plant based 2 years ago now im a junk food vegan...im getting back on track neow 😂👏❤
Same.
I soak my beans 2-3 days...no gas, no indigestion....all good!!!
Yes this!
Yeah! Or pressure cook it.
I'm glad that you're promoting intuitive eating rather than measuring everything! It's a subtle skill that takes training to develop, and I love that you're all about listening to your own body and eating what makes you feel good vs what pop culture says we "should" be eating.
The perfect diet is the one that makes YOU feel like a million bucks 😜
- perfectly said!!
This top/dress is too cute.
Thank you!!
Cute top, cute necklace, beautiful teeth and very pretty in general :-).
I just love the elegance: " I know I ate enough fibers when I go to the bathroom and it happens..."
Hahaha!
I’m half Puerto Rican and was raised vegetarian as a child. I have been eating beans all my life. I recently became Vegan and am now eating a lot more black, red, and garbanzo beans. My kids are making fun of me because I’m farting like crazy! I thought I’d be used to eating beans but I’m so gassy now lol.
BTW - yes, try to stay away from processed foods, just ‘cause something says vegan, it’s still PROCESSED!
Thanks for your videos and awesome vibe:)
im a meat eater but i totally agree. processed foods are far more damaging to a persons health than eating meat as part of a well balanced diet
It gets better. It takes a few months, but it gets better.
Nothing makes me feel as satisfied, and as energetic as any kind of bean, together with any cooked green. I do this for breakfast 90% of the time, and oats the other 10%. If you were a bacon/eggs, savory food for breakfast person before you decided to go vegan, give beans and greens, served hot a try.
Such a good tip! I honestly need to start eating beans and greens for bfast too. Perfect combo, and I love a savory bfast!
Beans can really be difficult for people to digest
@@thewaterwarrior9817 Yeah. If that’s the case for a person in particular, they may need a low FODMAP diet for a while. That means avoiding some other foods that are staples for most people like onions and garlic also. Check out the video by Nutrition Made Simple about how the channel creator helped his mom through these issues. My wife currently is in this process. It can be tough.
@@thewaterwarrior9817 just need to buy some Digestive Enzimes (all of them) and some probiotics (one pill of each daily); and drink 1 tbs of raw organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother) in a glass of water and a little honey once daily. You will see great improvement in the digestive system 👌🏻
@@SweetPotatoSoul I suggest a veganized version of the delicious Costa Rican breakfast named "pico de gallo" 😋 made with beans 👍🏻
Sweet Potato Soul sitting prominently on the shelf of my kitchen!
Same. I’m proud of the food stains on the pages of my favorite recipes.
@@SheriSoltes Yesssssssss! Thissssssss! 🗣She gets it!
Your comment convinced me to finally order it lol YAY
@@GabyP17 You won’t regret it! Happy cooking!
Ayyy!!! Thanks for having me 🙆🏾
Just became a vegan about a week ago! And I was sooo nervous I was eating too much that I'd often get headaches and feeling exhausted! But this video has helped me so much thank you!
Still vegan?
i'm jealous of her perfect skin every time i see her. *sobs internally*
radiating happiness and peace within ✌🏻💫💫
Her skin glows ✨
You called me out here, I always undereat being a vegan. It's difficult to get away from that 'portion-control' mindset
you're SO correct , and I've been a vegan since long before you were born !
Thank you for affirming!!! Love a long time vegan!
Unfortunately I am more like 20 / 80. I eat a lot of processed vegan food. It's a proximity issue I'm not near really great shopping and I don't grow anything at home yet. I eat lots of fruits and Grains. Not enough greens and veggies. When I get to a really good grocery store for shopping I eat better. I have a lot of smoothies made with almond milk, brewer's yeast and other good stuff I can throw in! I'm transitioning toward doing more cooking and eating better it's going to take some time. Your channel is very inspiring and you are always absolutely glowing.
I love spinach.❤
You can switch it around. The awareness can get you there. Don't be too hard on yourself. Good luck!!!
Frozen veggies are a good option, if you have space to stock up. Best wishes!
With the fruit thing, there's a huge difference between naturally occurring sugars in fruits n veggies etc vs refined processed and added sugars. Learn the difference!
Um not to your body. Sugar is sugar. Eating 30g of ~*fruit*~ sugar is still 30 g of sugar. You're getting vitamins and fiber, sure, but also a sugar bombs. There's a reason diabetics have to limit their fruit intake.
@@nyk0l3tt3 I dont know about diabetes treatment, but generally it is a difference, as far as I know, because that fiber and the secondary plant substances regulate the blood pressure, so it usually doesnt rise the same as when you eat „free“ sugar.
@@nyk0l3tt3 30g of fruit is not 30g of sugar. First, not all fruits have the same amount of sugar. Second, fruit is not 100% sugar. Third, the body breaks down refined sugar rapidly, causing insulin and blood sugar levels to skyrocket. Because refined sugar is digested quickly, you don’t feel full after you’re done eating, no matter how many calories you consumed. The fiber in fruit slows down metabolism, as fruit in the gut expands to make you feel full. Thus you eat less of it.
@Erin you're severely missguided on this. Processed and refined sugars aren't absorbed by the body in the same way as fruits and vegetables. One causes insulin and blood pressure to spike, leading to diabetes, while the other does not bc it's mixed in with fibre and other essential vitamins. What DC and MsRonsch said is correct.
You can do alright on lots of fruit - however, it's better to choose more veggies and leafy greens as they will provide you a wider range of vitamins and minerals. Although the sugar in fruit does effect the body differently to processed sugar, it will still feed the bad bacteria in your stomachs which can lead to gut damage. It's all about balance. Fruit should definitely not be shamed but you can choose to have fuller, vegetable rich and more nourishing meals instead for more of the meals than not so that you're not only eating large quantities of fruit because of ease of access.
I’m sure someone has mentioned, but eating the same thing for the whole week 😅 I do it often (yes vegan chilli). I don’t really mind it but it does lose that wow factor by day 3. Thanks for the tips though , I’ve been lacking on my dark green veg!
Dude, daily......
Yes! 3 days max, then the rest goes in the freezer
Eat the same thing every day if you like. One nice thing to do is to add something extra, like extra greens or roasted peppers or water sautéed mushrooms, to your daily portion of you week long main dish. Still eating the same thing, but a little change up.
@She a, awesome point. By day 5-7 foods start succumbing to bad food. However, used to be that holding temperature for cold food was about 38 - 40*F; and hot foods rapidly cooled by either placing hot foods and soups in ice baths, placing hot foods in shallow covered containers, using blast chillers (perhaps use your freezer to cool foods rapidly), an other sanitary and food safety ways to 🅒🅞🅞🅛 and hold cooked or raw foods to at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Great video! Eat safe and well! Y'all Be blessed!
Totally! Meal prepping will help you immensely. For the dark leafy greens, always keep some frozen for quick additions to soups, stirfries, etc.
Since a lot of people struggle with processing the extra fiber, I do think keeping track of your fiber intake would be helpful. That way you can adjust amounts of food and the foods you’re combining together to be easier on your digestion instead of just blaming the whole diet for making you ill. Tracking isn’t something everyone has to do, and certainly not forever, but it does help with the transition. Great video! 💜
True, I need to measure the amount of legumes I eat in every meal and control my fiber intake, cause it's easy to eat much
she is like a big sister everyone needs. How can someone be so nice? You spread such positive energy, thank you!!
I am so glad you talked about soy! I get so frustrated when people cite it isn’t good for you but can’t show a study that proves it. Nor can they explain why meat eating men have “boobs”
That part!
This was very helpful! Thank you 💕
What a great video. I fully agree and it made me feel so much better knowing I'm not alone. Thank you so much! Keep bringing your posts... love 'em!
So grateful for your channel and wisdom 😊
This will never not be useful, I'm still getting the hang of eating a healthy wholefoods vegan diet and still trading my bad habits for good ones x
I really love the top your wearing in this video, looks so pretty and suits you so well 😍
Such a thoughtful post. It's always a pleasure seeing what you have to say. Thank you
I just love this woman. She's like the savvy big sister I wish I had.
Thank you! You are a huge inspiration ♥️
I think your advice is spot-on. I generally spend Saturday afternoon doing meal prep for the week. Sure, it's work on the front end but it makes life easier during the week. Then all I need to do is grab what I want. If I run out mid-week, then I do some more prepping. Once you get in the rhythm of doing it, it's just part of your life. I haven't tried an air fryer, sounds interesting. Thanks for your videos
Thank you so much for these tips.
Just shared this, saying these tips help EVERYONE, amazing as always love, thank you!!
This is a great video thank you!
Wait...Zoom Meal Prep Party is a genius idea! Love that
It's so much fun!
Love your videos! Very informative.
Thank u for radiating consistently high energy in your videos! It’s lovely and contagious!
Great tips! I’m Gwen vegan for years I often forget how hard it can be to transition.
Awesome timing!!This video put me back on the track. I eat clean but not enough. I am rarely hungry.
Thanks for all the ‘on point’ tips.
Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it.
8yrs vegan and I agree with everything you say here. And btw everyone, if there is one food group we are most physiologically designed to eat, it's fruit!
Thank you so much for this. I love your videos and always learn something new! Please keep them coming.
😍😍😍 center part in your hair looks so precious on you!!!! 💕💕💕 Love you girl!
This is a great video, and much needed. I just started my Vegan lifestyle, so it helps to know the helpful do's and don'ts... and pro's and con's. Thanks for the heads up
This is so helpful! Thank you
This was wonderful!! Thank you!!!
My biggest mistake was meal prepping, I am so grateful for your channel, it helps me a lot.
Thank you for this, Jenné! It helps a lot! I’ve been vegan for almost four years now, but have had a very hard time with eating the junk food in moderation. There’s just sooooo much!
Great tips! Thank you! ❤️
I menu plan, but not so much the meal prep. Watching this made me realize I sometimes leave out the veg (or don't make all I planned) because I can't be arsed to clean and chop it when it's dinnertime. Inspired to change that!
Thanks so much! 🌻
Really loving these new videos you’re coming out with! ☺️
Technically knew all of these but this was such a good reminder. Thank you! Especially the first one, covid has made me turn to processed food a lot more…
What a wonderful person you are! Thank you so much for doing this with love and all your positive energy! Greetings from Greece!
Thank you so much, Giorgos!
Great tips! Have been vegan whole food plant based for a over a year, your tips are spot on! May want to add B12 to the list. Love you channel, content and beautiful look!!
The 80/20 rule is soo helpful and easy to reminder. Thanks for sharing 💚💚💚
Thank you for this!!..I've been vegan since 2014..and sometimes you tend to forget things while on this journey.
Yes thank you for this! All things I feel like I need to repeat when telling people of my vegan diet. ALL.
Excellent video. Thank you for your straight talk and encouragement to keep it green.... :)
I love the tips on incorporating greens! I love them! I’m a volume eater and adding greens to my meals helps me get more food in a healthy way :) I personally like to add a bed of greens or salad to the bottom of a lot of savory dishes I make, for example stir fry, and I also like adding greens to things like pasta sauces. Especially with things like pesto, the greens add a vibrant color and nutrients!
Great informative video!!! Love this xx
Hey, thank you for this. I initially thought it was going to be a bit preachy, but then it actually inspired me to change up how I meal-prep. Been vegan for a couple of years, but work and general life stress have caused me to go for the easy pasta options too often when I used to make beautiful nutritious bowls of food even in my pre-vegan days. Going back to that now with more lentils and more roasted veggies. I think I just needed to see someone do this and re-think how it can work with meal-prep that isn't too much effort either. So I thank you for the inspiration! :)
I think all of those points are sooo important for any diet!! Great video, thanks!
I've been subscribed to you for a while and finally started my vegan journey yesterday 🥺 I'm about to be your most annoying frequent guest I have so much to learn!
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you for this helpful video!
Great advice! Eating whole foods is over processed is definitely the way to go. Thanks! ❤❤
What a good soul you are to share your insights with those (like me) who are new to veganism. Thank you for taking the time to share this information. I look forward to more videos with tips and ideas. Blessings!
Great advice. Thanks
You're awesome and you radiate great energy! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, insights, experiences and recipes with us!!
Yes, and definitely on number 3.
Oh my god, your charisma is so positive. Love the way you present your information. Thanks for not dissing Soya, here in California a lot of people think soya is sooo evil. And you are right, calm down people (it will help mental health as well) :-)
Thanks.
I've started boiling kombu in my beans, thanks to you. Great tip!
I did the Daniel Fast in January, 2021 and felt great. I have not gone back to meat, but have had some eggs and canned fish on occasion in Feb., 2021. After watching this, I am going to go back to vegan for March, 2021 and compare how I feel. i appreciate your enthusiasm and information. I am inspired.
You might add "Grow your own Vegetables". Grow them inside and out: Fresh! and low cost
Goals!!!
Thank you for sharing with us today
Great advice. Love the growing green visual!! 🌿🌱
Thanks Jenne. I thought I knew it all but the mixing bowl size salad was a reality check for me. I know this is a major mistake for me
U said it right with number one ! If you go crazy with the processed foods and try to "replace'" everything dairy or meat based, you end up being a big, fat, unhealthy vegan and that's NOT what the lifestyle is about. Just go EAT YOUR VEGETABLES 🌶🍆🍅 and fruits 🍋🍒🍇🍉 and enjoy them. Great tips you gave for those that don't know !
Fabulous video and reminders, Queen! 💜
Yes sister, Yes! So many so called nutritionists get it wrong when it comes to understanding the vegan and vegetarian diet. I've been studying it for over 25 years, and you are one of the few youtubers I've come across that actually knows the deal. So refreshing!
Thanks SweetPotatoSoul!
Thank you for the video!
Great advice on "eat your vegetables!" We have young children and tell them we're plant-based to help us focus on the plants🥕 It makes it easier for us to be mindful of getting in fruits and vegetables at each meal🥑🍎
Great advise thank you. Plant base!!
A lot of the issues with soy stem from anti-Asian propaganda that started during WWII. This propaganda covered everything from Soy to coconut oil to MSG. The misinformation that was spread about these foods and many others (rice) was all about the anti-Asian sentiment throughout the US government since that time. A lot of those beliefs have carried over and are sooo hard for people to get past.
I'd LOVE to be part of a cooking party with you on Zoom. That would be soooo much fun!! I am pretty isolated where I live in the number of people... and the number of vegans. Basically... there are no other vegans around me for miles. I would love to find more community!
This was really helpful, thank you.
THAT SALAD IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Thanks Needed to hear rhis
Thank you for this! So much good information.
Thank you sooooo much
I love veggies as snacks! Always have since I was a kid
