Early in 2015 I quit sugar, meat and dairy...started to feel great...then started feeling really (REALLY) ill...turns out I had cancer. Was super nauseous for (many) months...lost more than 33 kgs (over 5 stone)...couldn't eat properly for 11 or 12 months...became really 'scrawny'...oncologists, doctors and dietitians were so concerned that I was losing so much weight which would make it much harder to endure chemo, radiation etc...my whole system took such a huge flogging from the cancer AND the treatment...they said "eat anything, just get some food, any food, in!"...I beat the cancer (go me!) but unfortunately got back on meat, dairy and sugar! Scheech! It's now 15 months since treatment and I'm feeling so crappy because I haven't gotten myself back on track nutritionally. So...I just want to thank you BIG TIME for your videos...they are superbly done ...really classy!...but they also remind me that I LOVE healthy food and that transitioning is not hard...in fact when you explore all the healthy food options you (at least I) never feel deprived...but instead feel BRILLIANT! Feel like I want to cry because I've let my body down for so many months considering how much it had to endure with cancer and cancer treatment...you've fully inspired me to ditch any and all junk, meat, sugar and processed crap and to live a super healthy lifestyle again...HUGE THANK YOU!...keep up the great work and keep hitting home runs with your fab videos...I don't subscribe easily but I had no hesitation subscribing to your channel...love that even your dog Beau loves carrots...what a cute family you guys are! xo
Way to go! All we have to say is WOW! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story with us and thank you also for the kind words! We really pour our heart and soul into our videos and content creation, and are so happy you find them inspiring and helpful! :) Keep at it…one day at a time! Let us know what types of videos you'd like to see that might help keep you motivated! Eat the rainbow, Move daily, and Rest adequately! Much love, Erin & Dusty
Thanks for the reply...as for the 'kind words'..just speakin' it like it is!...your videos are excellent....and your advice and tips are real and super usable. I don't think I'll need much to stay motivated...feeling good and working at getting and staying healthy is my motivation...I've beaten cancer once and honestly I don't want to have to go there again! As for any types of videos?...would love some pointers about healthy dressings for salads and perhaps healthy vegan 'gravy' for roasted veggies? Anyhow, no pressure and thanks again heaps for your channel...you guys are delightful!
I love that you do not talk in the video. All I need is to see what you are doing and adding to your meals. Some tubers are so chatty. Simplicity is wonderful. Thank you!!
This was the cutest 'what I eat in a day' video I have ever watched. I loved the background music, the way you showed how to prepare the dishes, and the adorable 'plant-based cast' at the end (including the total caloric consumption was pretty helpful as well).
I just love the way you two work together for maintaining this lifestyle! Me and my bf are so inspired by you!!! We are on transition for a whole food plant based diet! Thank you for so much information and good vibes!
Sherri F haha you're welcome! It's funny what you don't think twice about that other people notice and find helpful! That's why UA-cam is the best!!🙌🏻😊
omg i cant believe it took me this long to find this channel. I've been looking for someone to show exactly what they eat and how often they eat on raw till 4 life style..thank u for this great video can't wait to see more of your videos.🤗👏👏
I'm turning vegan next week. I'm listing down recipes which will result in faster weight loss like a plant based raw vegan diet. Not just for me, I just love animals in general. But didnt have time to do it sooner. So this week as my last week eating meat, I'm listing recipes and currently on a no carb diet which made me lose 2 kilos in over a week. But I can't wait to go vegan and try these recipes. With added excersise. And make myself and the world better. Love ya! -Bella
have just started to watch this vid (an oldie but a goodie) and oh that orange juice first thing! my mouth started to water and my throat started to ache. it looks so delicious! will watch the rest when i get back. heading out to get a bag of oranges. (just dug thru the cupboard to find my old fashioned glass citrus juicer!) thanks for the (oranges) inspo!
Wow, this video was so beautiful! You have an absolutely lovely home and the videos are so beautifully put together ❤ amazing editing! I also very much enjoy seeing all the fresh foods you ate in a day, a rainbow 🌈🌈🌈
Hi Shelly! Good question! From what I've read and experienced with proper food combining is that fruits (if eaten with veggies) are best when paired with soft, leafy green vegetables like romaine, spinach, etc. I haven't really experienced any problems with combining other veggies with some fruits, but I think it all depends on the individual and how well their digestive system is able to handle it! I say just experiment and find what works best for you! Also, fruits and fats don't typically mix well, but every once in a while we put just a bit of mango or pineapple on our big green salads topped with guac and it seems to make us feel just fine! Again, just another trial and error instance. I'm working on putting together a raw food combining document for optimal absorption and digestion, so stay tuned for that! 😊
Your best vid to date!! I have been eating Raw til 4 style for a few months now and love it. Interesting that you guys eat fruit after your cooked meal. I always hear that this will result in digestion issues but if it works for you, I may try as well especially on the evenings when I'm craving dessert!🍌🍨
Jennifer Krout glad you noticed the nice cream "dessert!" I was wondering if someone would ask! No we typically do not eat fruit or sweets after dinner, but it was a late night and it had been about 3 hours since dinner and sometimes we just like to indulge and have a little fun! I think it does depend on the person, too, as to how well their bodies will take it! I usually don't feel bad at all if I eat a little bit from time to time! 🙌🏻😊
I want to go on a Raw till 4 diet but I don't know if I should buy organic fruits and vegetables. Is conventional okay or is it better to buy them all organic?
I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I believe organic is best. That being said, "best" can be the enemy of "better." If buying organic is too expensive and/or unavailable, and it keeps you from eating more fruits and veggies, then by all means opt for conventional! Definitely check out the "Dirty Dozen Clean 15" list to see which produce has the most/least pesticide residue to help you choose wisely! The benefits of the antioxidants and phytonutrients in conventional produce most likely outweighs any potential harmful risks associated with pesticides! Hope this helps!👍🏻🌿
love your videos! but don't throw away the stem of the broccoli! it's the tastiest part and so healthy! just peel the skin of and eat it raw or steam it as well ♡
Tyler Livingston true story lol. We are new to video editing and have been using the music that comes with iMovie, but we just discovered all of the amazing options out there with Creative Commons licensed music!! I'm so looking forward to getting some new background beats! 😄
Thank you so much! We have experimented a bit here and there with intermittent fasting...usually just 12-16hrs, by finishing dinner by 7 or 8pm and having the first meal of the day around 11am or 12pm the next day, and also doing a fasting workout in the AM! It seems to feel very refreshing and energizing!
About 6 smaller oranges...I don't do it super often because it is time consuming and when oranges are in season I actually prefer just eating them whole! Start with a base of frozen ripe bananas for any smoothie! My Go-to green smoothie vid that I make almost every day is here: ua-cam.com/video/gLVMC0trn38/v-deo.html
From my own personal experience, eating raw/vegan isn't that significantly more expensive than not. The big factor has got to be convenience though. You have trouble going out for meals with friends, trying to find options when you've forgotten lunch at home. Preparation is a huge thing too, it's a pain in the ass to do everything from scratch every single time. The first 2 years I went vegan I just ate fruit that didnt require any effort (bad idea btw you need a lot more vitamins and nutrients than that).
Hi been doing raw vegan 5 days now and haven't lost anything it's so disappointing i don't know i feel great. Lots of gas and #2 lol but i need to lose weight. Do i need to lesson my fruit intake? I lowered my fat intake or im trying its tough . I don't know if i should just go back to cooked food or hang in there 2 more weeks? I really love to pick up this way of eating but idk i need more education on it lol
Hi Jennifer, it is important to know what you're doing. The gas and #2 is normal and healthy! I say keep it up. Add in cooked food if you want. Beans grains and potatoes. The best way to lose is to make sure your in a calorie deficit. Look up a calorie needs calculator and stay under your daily needs to lose weight
Hi there. Hope u can help me.. I lost 75 pounds when I was younger and I kept it off a while, I did a vegetarian style but ate egg whites. Cooked with applesauce and that type of things. But I gained now I am 53 and I tried a keto diet thinking that may be easier since everything in stores are more low sugar and tons of fat! Ugh it was hard to switch the kind to eat high fat.. and low sugar. Well now I still hadn’t lost the weight. So I am thinking of going back to a lower fats and do vegan or vegetarian, but I remember like here in order to do that we are eating a lot of sugars. Even if it is in fruits, they say that at my age u have to watch sugar intake. Do u know anyone in there 50’s that was able to lose weight doing this way? Or am I needing to basically eat just veggies? I love fruit but got scared of them after all the low carb craze. Even though it didn’t seem to do anything to me but get confused on what to eat. I exercise and love to do that. So can u point me in the correct direction? I went to the link for your meal preps but I can’t afford anything more right now. Just a bit Of advice and what do u think about the sugar thing?
Hi , I tried the starch solution. But that was a disaster for my body, than I tried hclf but that is so wrong for my hormones. I also want tho lose more of 20 kg. So I tried lot of fruits and veggie but no weight loss. Than I went to a nutrion. I did a protein/keto diet with products. No animal prod. I lost 23 kgs. Now it is surching how to eat. When I eat one pasta or carbs my body is going crazy . I also don't digest chickpeas lentils soya or gluten. So it is not easy. I am gonna try a keto again for 4 weaks with healthy vegan food. Afterwards I slowly eat more fruit. But in combination with working out. Every body is different and it is not easy to find a way that works. I love this channel. It is inspiring❤. Good Luck to find your own balanced way
@@EatMoveRest You guys would love it here! It seems so in line with your culture ! Maybe you will someday! :) Great Job on your channel! You guys are killing it ! Love your authenticity! It is very evident!
Thats great- but what would be even BETTER would be to add some seeds and/or nuts to that salad lunch- then it would be perfect. But, great video! You day looked heavenly.
Have you used Cronometer.com? It definitely looks like you had a wide variety of plant foods today, but you can always see if you've missed any vitamins or minerals by using Cron-O-Meter. It's free!
Tyler Livingston totally! We always use Cronometer when in doubt! It definitely comes in handy especially for watching fat intake! I've plugged in some of my standard meal days and they look pretty solid! ...besides needing a B12 supplement of course! But we use a lot of nutritional yeast for that!
Patricia Orsborn hemp chia flax in the smoothie, plus small amounts of fat in fruits and veg and things like cacao, total was about 15% fat for the day!
I enjoy moringa everyday, it is a great boost to the immune system! I like to wash my orange peels, dry them, and then blend them up and use the peel powder as a source of hesperidin! Go organic if you can afford it! I also prefer sunflower seeds that are hulled as my favorite source of fat, well that and raw grass fed butter, polar power salmon oil , and cold pressed organic coconut oil.
KB Anthis sounds like you're into the superfoods! Moringa is one of my favorites! Try flax seeds for the highest plant-based source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids! Blend whole seeds into your smoothies...then there's no need for butter or oils!👌💚
As a man I am staying away from flax seeds my friend, as I need to boost testosterone. Now if I were a woman I would use flax. I even have some here. I am going to use chia seeds instead though as a man. Natural butter has over 400 fatty acids that are ideally tailored for human consumption. Human beings have to get EPA and DHA in the diet. Until we can genetically modify plants to contain animal proteins and fats, we must get these from our diet.
I know vegans dont count calories, but i wonder how many calories you got in on this day? I need to get my weight up but want to seriously start on this lifestyle
Day to day I get about 2,500 calories! You can definitely get your weight up in a healthy way on a vegan lifestyle! There are many calorie dense foods that are also nourishing like hearty whole grains, beans, legumes and healthy fats like avocado, for starters! Smoothies are my favorite way to get a delicious calorie dense meal!
EatMoveRest thanks could you please tell me what will be good. Cost? Im about to go grocery shopping now but have no clue really what im doing. I went from a beautiful 155 lbs to 122 lbs in a few months. Never been a big a eater thats post relationship Weight lost (no more eating on dates). Need help? Lol
Cost really depends on a number of factors-how much produce you buy, if you buy organic, how active you are, and how many mouths you’re feeding! I try to buy mostly produce for the two of us and always organic! It can get pricey but it’s worth it to us! Just do what you can within your budget, and if you’re looking to save, stock up on bulk whole grains, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and buy produce in bulk or frozen!
Just discovered your channel. Content is great... however, for anyone to actually follow through and begin implementing the meals the videos aren’t very useful unless they’re writing everything out. I saw you had a blog, but the blog seemed to be over saturated with pictures... aesthetic, yes. Useful... not so much. Suggestion for your blog - Your videos, in text format that are easy to implement. Meals. Shopping lists Recipes.
Ugh raw till 4👎🏼 why be followers? I respect self empowerment, authorship of ones own life, thinking for yourself... plus promoting Ratcliffe puts people off. You don’t eat the stem⁉️ it’s the sweetest best part... also the green part of the avocado just inside of the skin, is the most nutritious part you just threw away. You do you. Wait... no beans or lentils? Not even sprouts? No flax, supplements or sunflower seeds? How did u meet ur daily needs for vitamin E, B12, Zinc, Calcium, D3, Selenium, Iodine, DHA EPA? Please share your cronometer for this day thanks!!

what are your protein sources for dinner?
Do you add in flax seeds to your smoothie?
Brook Gold yes! They are the best way to get your Omega-3s! One tablespoon gives you what you need!
This is such a great video! Love the edit. Its surprisingly similar to my videos...wake up and walk the dog haha.
Thanks, Jennifer! Glad you enjoyed the vid!☺️🙌🏻

The best way to lose is to make sure your in a calorie deficit. Look up a calorie needs calculator and stay under your daily needs to lose weight
It would be nice if you the time of each meal.
Really? I used to think I hated fruit and now during the switch to vegan I realized I love fruit. Melon is my jam🥰🍈
where do you get your straws!!!!??

Hi , I tried the starch solution. But that was a disaster for my body, than I tried hclf but that is so wrong for my hormones. I also want tho lose more of 20 kg. So I tried lot of fruits and veggie but no weight loss.
Than I went to a nutrion. I did a protein/keto diet with products. No animal prod. I lost 23 kgs. Now it is surching how to eat. When I eat one pasta or carbs my body is going crazy . I also don't digest chickpeas lentils soya or gluten. So it is not easy.
I am gonna try a keto again for 4 weaks with healthy vegan food. Afterwards I slowly eat more fruit. But in combination with working out.
Every body is different and it is not easy to find a way that works.
I love this channel. It is inspiring❤.
Good Luck to find your own balanced way
Hi Erin! I don’t know if it’s weird to ask?! But do you guys live in SoCal by chance!? I feel like I need to know you guys ha!
Haha we live in Nebraska! Cali would be the dream though!
@@EatMoveRest You guys would love it here! It seems so in line with your culture ! Maybe you will someday! :) Great Job on your channel! You guys are killing it ! Love your authenticity! It is very evident!
Thanks a million!
What chopping knife do you use? O.O It looks real nice. Mine is super bleh!
Biscochitos Galletita they are Calphalon from Bed Bath and Beyond! Not crazy expensive but definitely great quality and last a long time!
Thats great- but what would be even BETTER would be to add some seeds and/or nuts to that salad lunch- then it would be perfect. But, great video! You day looked heavenly.
Mmm I love me some hemp seeds on a salad or blended into a dressing!!
Hey great video! I thought all the music was a bit annoying tho, maybe try some voice overs ? either way still enjoyed the video!!
Thanks! Will definitely do that! 👍
Amazing videos!! I love your profile. I subscribe already!! Big hug from África!!
Hey thank you so much! That means a lot! :) Let us know what kind of future content you'd like to see on our channel!
How big are the salad bowls?
Dave Rocks they are 10" bowls...Dusty weighed his the other day and it was over 2lbs (minus the weight of the bowl)!🌿🤣
Where is your gold cutlery from??
West Elm!
Have you used Cronometer.com? It definitely looks like you had a wide variety of plant foods today, but you can always see if you've missed any vitamins or minerals by using Cron-O-Meter. It's free!
Tyler Livingston totally! We always use Cronometer when in doubt! It definitely comes in handy especially for watching fat intake! I've plugged in some of my standard meal days and they look pretty solid! ...besides needing a B12 supplement of course! But we use a lot of nutritional yeast for that!
Is this diet plan sustainable ?
Been doing it for 8 years!
Did any of the ingredients in the smoothie have fat, or was the avocado the only source of fat?
Patricia Orsborn hemp chia flax in the smoothie, plus small amounts of fat in fruits and veg and things like cacao, total was about 15% fat for the day!
Cronometer.com is a fantastic place to input your meals from time to time and make sure you're getting everything that you need.👌😉
I was wondering if there's any other destination, than health?
Or only this one?
P.s. do you use salt in your diet?
:)
We try not to use too much, but I really do love pink Himalayan salt!
Little more Guac please!☺
🙌💚
You have a house that is a dream... :)
Awe thank you so much!!
I can’t imagine the carbs in the freshly squeezed orange juice...
MsIGetLotOfThat carbs are not the enemy, they are energy...especially if you’re highly active!👌
@@EatMoveRest my throat ached for it as i watched! dont have juicer but ran and got 3 oranges to gobble.
I actually liked this video. Entirely too long. But great food and recap at the end.
Glad you enjoyed the video! ;)
I enjoy moringa everyday, it is a great boost to the immune system! I like to wash my orange peels, dry them, and then blend them up and use the peel powder as a source of hesperidin! Go organic if you can afford it! I also prefer sunflower seeds that are hulled as my favorite source of fat, well that and raw grass fed butter, polar power salmon oil , and cold pressed organic coconut oil.
KB Anthis sounds like you're into the superfoods! Moringa is one of my favorites! Try flax seeds for the highest plant-based source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids! Blend whole seeds into your smoothies...then there's no need for butter or oils!👌💚
As a man I am staying away from flax seeds my friend, as I need to boost testosterone. Now if I were a woman I would use flax. I even have some here. I am going to use chia seeds instead though as a man. Natural butter has over 400 fatty acids that are ideally tailored for human consumption. Human beings have to get EPA and DHA in the diet. Until we can genetically modify plants to contain animal proteins and fats, we must get these from our diet.
I know vegans dont count calories, but i wonder how many calories you got in on this day? I need to get my weight up but want to seriously start on this lifestyle
Day to day I get about 2,500 calories! You can definitely get your weight up in a healthy way on a vegan lifestyle! There are many calorie dense foods that are also nourishing like hearty whole grains, beans, legumes and healthy fats like avocado, for starters! Smoothies are my favorite way to get a delicious calorie dense meal!
EatMoveRest thanks could you please tell me what will be good. Cost? Im about to go grocery shopping now but have no clue really what im doing. I went from a beautiful 155 lbs to 122 lbs in a few months. Never been a big a eater thats post relationship Weight lost (no more eating on dates). Need help? Lol
Cost really depends on a number of factors-how much produce you buy, if you buy organic, how active you are, and how many mouths you’re feeding! I try to buy mostly produce for the two of us and always organic! It can get pricey but it’s worth it to us! Just do what you can within your budget, and if you’re looking to save, stock up on bulk whole grains, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and buy produce in bulk or frozen!
EatMoveRest thank you so much!
Loved your video Erin! All the veggies looked soo good!! Just subbed!! I make vegan videos too, would love if you check them out and return the love(:
MissYabilina thanks girl! I will absolutely check out your channel!😊
Can I have some soy milk or almond milk in my coffee on this?
Absolutely!
I wish I was vegan
Where is your little one?U guys don’t eat bread
This vid was before I was even pregnant! :) We eat some bread but not much!
Do you have a job you must commute to? Do you have children?
Yes I do have a job and no we do not have kids yet!
Just discovered your channel.
Content is great... however, for anyone to actually follow through and begin implementing the meals the videos aren’t very useful unless they’re writing everything out.
I saw you had a blog, but the blog seemed to be over saturated with pictures... aesthetic, yes.
Useful... not so much.
Suggestion for your blog -
Your videos, in text format that are easy to implement.
Meals.
Shopping lists
Recipes.
Ugh raw till 4👎🏼 why be followers? I respect self empowerment, authorship of ones own life, thinking for yourself... plus promoting Ratcliffe puts people off. You don’t eat the stem⁉️ it’s the sweetest best part... also the green part of the avocado just inside of the skin, is the most nutritious part you just threw away. You do you. Wait... no beans or lentils? Not even sprouts? No flax, supplements or sunflower seeds? How did u meet ur daily needs for vitamin E, B12, Zinc, Calcium, D3, Selenium, Iodine, DHA EPA? Please share your cronometer for this day thanks!!
take another look at the morning smoothy which ALSO has contents in BIG LETTERS written on screen.
