My third grade teacher told me once "Always learn to learn". I never forgot that quote.
well, it is a good one, they knew what they where doing
Being a life long learner is the best
great quote
Awesome
Yeah. Did he/she say learn to distinguish bullshit from truth?
I told my mom yesterday I was thinking about becoming a vegan , she started crying ... 😂😂 It just shows you how deep the misconceptions about food are ingrained in our personalities...
OOF
Tell her all the advantages
Is she the one who has to cook/buy for you or will you be paying for and cooking for yourself?
Have her watch “What the Health” on Neflix 👍
Try telling a Southern Italian mother in-law 😜😘🤣. She was like, “soooo, just cheese then? What about butter... eggs?!#^*!”
When I told my mom I was becoming a vegan, she asked me why I said because i do not want to be part of killing animals for food, also for my health. I recommended her the Netflix show, what the health, my mom, her husband, my brother and his wife are now vegans, I approached it with love, information and even a show in case I missed something, It has being one of the best decisions I've made so far.
Golden Glider wow. What is the name of the documentary you watched?
Dream's aunt Betty thank you
You are amazing! I am on the way to become vegetarian and vegan, then i wish i could help people go the same way
@@jamiew4851 you will eventually, I'm rooting for you! always do it with information and zero accusations or hostility if they aren't receptive at first. You got this!! congrats on becoming vegetarian and eventually vegan!
OMG I Love You , i wish i can convert my family too into Vegans they eat meat and dairy like cave men and women ahahahhahahaha , living as a vegan among a meat eating family feels like being an outsider in an exclusive country club LoL and whenever i show them or advise them about veganism they feel like im threatening their entire existence because as the girl said in the video the traditional & cultural habits that are deeply embedded in the subconscious mind and passed over from generation to generation when the're apposed with something different the people embodying them feels as if you're indirectly disrespecting their fore fathers and ancestors and intelligence and basically calling them idiots and ignorants and that them and their grand parents and long ancestory bloodline were living in an inhumane unrighteous way , so even if they logically look at the facts of the physical and mental health benefits and the environmental benefits and the moral and ethical benefits and even if they logically understand it and actually want to convert , there mind can not let them because of the years and years of subconscious programming , they basically based their false identity on the believes that eating meat is normal and healthy and that not eating it is insanity , so they will feel that their false mind made identity is being threatened with annihilation ! such a sad reality they live in ! can i come live with your family ? AHAHAHAHAHAHHAA :D
My mom told me, she had a conversation with a 60+ year old vegan woman. She doesn't look like 60 years old. She's very healthy. She doesn't need glasses.
I'm 51 and I started to need readers glasses but since going vegan 3 weeks ago I don't need them now...truly amazing
My grandfather was non vegitarian and lived 88 years
@@Yzyke yes, some people are an exception. Some people are blessed and can eat what they want without adverse effects to their health. But based on statistics and medical studies a plant based diet is showing it to be far better than any other diet. The China Study and many others that have succeeded that study show the proof in the pudding 😀
@@heinzh5687 but ig its alright cuz if you dont eat it everyday, like I eat 2 times a week only for dinner , rest of my meal is pure veg
@@Yzyke thats awesome, that takes discipline
I told my mom and sister I’m going vegan and they made fun of me they think I’m joking well I’m proving them wrong. 😡
How it going?
Uhhh yeah I failed like two or one day later. I stopped because I wanted to get all my nutrition.
why not try going vegetarian or vegan once a week... you can do it secretly without telling them, or say you don't like the taste of meat lol- which is what i did...
you could do it subtly!
They don't have to know
When you don't really intend becomming vegan, you will fail. And, in my opinion, it is a waste of time convincing people to try it or talking about it with them. And it is absolutely impossible living secretely vegan, when you are still living with your parents. I mean... Come on.
This is how you promote an idea. Instead of calling people, "killers" or "murderer" and piss them off. Thank you so much for this video. It was informative.
Thanks for a reason I won't go vegan Ella! :). Eating meat is what you are built for! (If you say you are frugtivores I swear...)
Hurricane Tortilla omfg stop labeling all vegans. Yes, there are vegans like Ella but most of us are not like that. I’ve never ONCE told someone I was vegan randomly, only if they asked me. In fact I hate telling people because they make fun of me for it. Please be more nice to vegans. Although we don’t agree with eachothers lifestyles, leave the other alone.
Im vegetarian and i couldnt ever call people who eat meat killers. Its just so rude and disrespectful
Javier Rodriguez But we are frugivores. Dont mean to be rude I've just done lots of research.
N hoss agreed
The moment you talked about seeing the gains to veganism rather than losses made me want to cry. Thank you. I always didn’t want to start being vegan because I loved my cream cheese, my milk, and my eggs and chicken but focusing on the benefits is so much easier than obsessing over the loss. I would love to go vegan now, thank you sadia :)
When I became vegan I wish I knew all this. I'm on my fourth year of veganism lifestyle but I learnt everything the hard way. Now I know I can have anything I want made vegan, and I'm not missing out on anything! It just took me a while.
She was honestly so sweet and calm when explaining stuff, not screaming about how if you eat chicken nuggets you are the Antichrist
Edit: yo I posted this a year ago why are y’all still arguing. Just calm yo tits please
give me an example where a lot of people actually said those things to you smh
@@AngelVocal trust me, there are tons of angry vegans on instagram telling us to stop eating meat or die.
@Madisyn Stanley (981MadStan) yeahh so true, i would like to be vegan, because i love animals, and to protect the planet, also i don't think that if someome eat meats is wrong that's their decision, vegans did not born being vegans.
Agreed
lol no one is like this hahah
This has been the most polite and encouraging video promoting an idea that I have ever seen. Thank you for the positivity, well done.
Could I ask you to try watching DOMINION? it's available for free on youtube.
Had a DELICIOUS STEAK i mean it was so good and fuck the animal that it was derived from.
I completely agree! She did an amazing job getting her points across.
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094 Hi, i too love animals....this is my snapid :-- " siva_saikiran".
I'm 15 and i left non - veg after watching Mahabharat and Reading a little bit of Gita ❤️ Im proud im doing it and happy to lead a vegan life
You will regret it. There is a reason that the vast majority abandon the diet.
@@tinknal6449 bro got the buzzfeed knowledge
@@booby_pin I have the knowledge of reading thousands of testimonials from former vegans and hundreds of peer reviewed articles on medicine and nutrition.
Trust me, veganism might feel good at first because you cut out all the processed trash, but since vegan diets are devoid in health animal fats, b vitamins and other macronutrients, after a couple years once your stores are used up, your health will deteriorate. Trust me, include plenty of beef, organs and healthy dairy and eggs in your diet if you wanna thrive with good health.
@@tinknal6449 aIert, stupid-ass's oppinion
Yeah. I am a 68 year old vegan with a hubby I just brought on board
I was a vegetarian for five years on a date from children
Well low and behold shocked them and took it a step further!
So many people are bewildered. Lolol
Finally! Someone who doesn't bash others. As a vegan myself, it's nice to see someone else using a calmer and less aggressive and negative way of promoting this lifestyle. Thank you!
tbh that's why I never wanted to be one
I agree with you! It's refreshing
HelloKittysMistress what happens between human parties should not be a reason to kill animals.
Earthy Amy yes I love that too, nothing like a aggressive vegan to get you on their side :/ (I don't get why they would ever think that tactic would work!)
Ryan Garret yeah that paranoid mentality is going to get people who eat meat every day of their life some who even make their living on it to change...... no wonder 90 percent of the USA isn't vegan if people like you are trying to convince them. Now pick up limes has a good approach, you...... not so much.
This is the calmest and most welcoming vegan video I've ever seen.

@DoubleTanker23 what?
@@minuatri2565 quite a lot,you would be surprised.
Same
Finally, I found a channel of a normal vegan and not some weirdo lol This channel is soothing. I am still eating meat but I need plant-based meals to balance my diet
You are amazing. The vegan community needs more compassionate, educated, and non judgmental individuals like yourself.
Yeah, because people like Freelee, DurianRider, and Vegan Gains are giving the Vegan Community a bad rep with their self-righteous attitude and drama involved around them
Nola Smart the world in general do...in all organizations. We could all afford to gain this mindset.
Nola Smart So true.
This is the gold standard for veganism
This reminds me of the elves from the lord of the rings
@@Shiloh5541 not only is this extremely false and offensive "information" to the vegan community, which i doubt you cared about offending anyway. But they dont only eat PLANTS there lots of things vegan you probably eat every other day! Sweet potatoes, yuca, rice, plantains,etc "malnourished" my ass you can tell that to the many vegan buildbuilders that exist and they would be confused as to why you actually think eating no meat will "turn your lips gray" stay ignorant or EDUCATE yourself and stop spreading harmful bullshit.
animeboy Thank god someone said it🙌🏽
@@Shiloh5541 I've been eating plant-based for over seven years. I get my blood tested roughly every 3 months (other, non-nutrition, aspects of my healthcare require it) and I am perfectly fine!! My body hasn't wasted away--I'm a perfectly healthy weight and have both retained and gained muscle. Water moves through my body great. My hair is still just as annoyingly thick as it always has been. My teeth are all still intact and haven't had any problems except my wisdom teeth being indecisive about poking out or not. The only thing wrong is I have to supplement iron, but low-iron has been an issue in my family since before I was even born and has been regardless of whether meat is part of the diet (everyone except me consumes meat.)
I have no clue what you've been looking at, but plant-based diets aren't the inherent cause of all those things. Perhaps if they're nutritionally devoid they could cause all those issues, but there's ways to eat non-nutritiously in *every* diet.
mina collin g
that....is a whole lie. you do not need meat to survive.
Last night I was called a hypocrite by a vegan community I joined. Been relapsing a bit because of my immune system and Im still learning the ropes of it all. Thank you, Sadia, for being THAT vegan we all need!
It is hard to suddenly just drop everything and turn vegan. It helps to do it slowly. I did it my self and i felt amazing. It was hard talking to online groups because they say stop everything with meat and dairy
I also joined a group in facebook and the expectation of them being kind esp to those who are just started in transitioning, they use harsh and discriminating words. I left the group and good thing we have people like this channel making veganism easier to understand and not filled with hate.
I wouldn’t call it relapsing. Eating animal products isn’t a disease. Lol
I've been on a vegan diet for about 3 weeks now and my blood pressure has dropped to what it was when I was in my twenties, I'm now 51, the other thing I noticed is age relate wrinkles have disappeared and the elasticity in my skin is going back to what it was when I was younger. I'm truly blown away by this!
I went vegetarian over night and in a month I went full vegan, and no regrets so far
Anabel Sama yaaasss! I also went vegan over night (never really arte dairy), it’s possible!!!
I am planning on going plant based/vegetarian then talk to my doctor in a few months and might go full vegan if they give me the ok
Anabel Sama me too
Leisy Kroker it gets better make the change step by step i been vegan 🌱 for a month i just recently stop 🛑 eating meat altogether
I tried being vegetarian for 2 weeks it sucks i was nervous, i just love a good roasted beef
Great tips! I would also recommend staying within your comfort zone. If you are used to having tacos on Tuesday, pasta on Wednesdays, and pizzas on Fridays, for example, still do that, just find vegan versions of those dishes. You don't need to suddenly make complicated buddah bowls or buy expensive health food store ingredients. Stay within your comfort zone first and you might find the transition a little easier.

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken...Thank you, great advice.
It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken
This is actually fantastic advice. Thank you x
Thanks to each and everyone of you for willing to make the change! U guys make me so happy! Just ten yrs back I would have thought that something like this is impossible..
Love your start. The best way to bring people together is to show compassion and make something accessible.
I really like your approach. Not vegan yet, but choose to make changes as I can.
Daniel sorry if I sound stupid but isn’t that the same thing? And can I ask how it got bad?
I'm going slow. I'm not a big meat eater to begin with. I'm more vegetarian. I've never really enjoyed eating chicken or fish and I've never had a hamburger. I do like eggs. I cut way back on cheese.
Kvarks
It can be really dangerous. A lot of people say, just go vegan, it’s easy!, when it’s not. You need to make sure you get all that you need like B12, iron, vitamins etc.
It’s not about veganism in general, it’s about how you do it.
@@zarmin2137 you don't sound stupid. I had the same question before too, lol. I think the difference is that vegitarians don't eat meat, but vegans don't eat anything that comes from an animal.
Same here. I tried vegan for a few months before realizing I was losing all masculinity and if I was ever attacked, I would be an easy target. Vegans are weak ass pussies.
I eat a vegetarian diet in my daily life, but the hardest part is definitely when visiting family or other people. My dad especially has no understanding of what food is if it's not based on meat. Personlly i will not refuse any food that i am served when visiting others, but it really is a hard thing to balance.
Carina I generally refer to myself as a vegan but I can totally resonate with this! when I visit events, I just eat the most plant based things available where I am. it still makes a good effect on our health and the environment without ostracizing ourselves from friends and family.
Yes, family get togethers can get uncomfortable! It was definitely the hardest part of transitioning to vegan for me.
I want to be vegan so badly. We live out in the middle of nowhere and broke. Since we can only afford $3 junk foods and canned foods, I have nothing to bring to school. School lunches aren't vegetarian even and I can only eat a banana or whatever fruit there is. Starving and I eat the $3 box of honey buns or brownies that have animal fat, honey, milk, eggs and god knows what. I feel guilt but I'm so hungry. What do I do?
Hey!
I have a few suggestions for you - I am the queen of living inexpensively!
If you want to eat at school, perhaps only ask for the starch and veggies and fruit.
Buy cheap foods in bulk like: rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut, oats, cereal, pasta, bread, dried beans and other grains. Dried beans/ grains are so much cheaper just soak overnight and cook a huge batch.
Buy seasonal veggies/ veggies on offer/ frozen vegetables and combine different veggies, starch/grains/rice and beans/lentils/pulses to make *'budah bowls'*.
Or make homemade *potato/sweet potato chips* OR simply *bread* with peanut butter and syrup/avo/humus OR *pasta* with sauce and toppings of choice.
You can also make your own vegan *patties* by combining lentils/beans, bread/potatoes, veggies/mushrooms with onion and garlic and enjoying it on a hamburger roll.
Make your own *brownies* by combining sweet potato, sugar, cacao power, baking soda and flour and bake in the oven :P
Mealprep, mealprep, mealprep! If you don't have healthy food on hand you'll spend money on fatty junk food that doesn't serve you or the animals well.
You can still eat everything you love, just made with plants!
:)
Oit Dor if you don't have access to lots of fresh food and are on a tight budget, you still have vegan options. I grew up taking a peanut butter and banana sandwich and a granola bar and an apple everyday for lunch. (I wasn't vegan then, but accidentally had vegan lunches) it was a super cheap lunch and you could probably find the ingredients anywhere. A bag of pasta and a jar of sauce is also pretty cheap. Oatmeal is my favourite breakfast. Add a can of beans to your supper. Pick up a multivitamin. If you want to be vegan, just do what you can!
Happy to say that I'm an indian and our daily meal already contains everything you mentioned.
😋🇮🇳 most of us are Vegan since our birth.❤️
Superb video 🙏🏻
Hi there,
I would encourage to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it).
Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death.
Best wishes
💙💙💙
I've had to become vegan but because I have Kidney disease and Ayurveda medicine I take from India. However my food I'm allowed has no spice or very limited and it's horrible experience right now.
Indian food is big on dairy unfortunately
after watching this I'd love links to each of the meals shown. They all looked so good!
I'm a vegan for 3 months now n I was vegetarian 5 months before and I'm glad I did this even I'm struggling in Muslim world full of meat n diary products every where but I'm going for it 💪😊💚🌱🌻💙
Mai Mohamed :D 👍🏼
It is cool
I can understand you...You are seriously determined! Very happy about your transition
We r proud of u
i live in france and everyone loves meat!! but i really need to try at least becoming a vegetarian. i live with my parents bc i’m 16 so i think i should wait until i’m old enough to live away from my parents who are really good cooks 😂 but if i actually take the initiative and cook for them i could do it but i’m lazy...
I'm not vegan. Yet. I'm a bit too young to control all of my food yet, but when I eat out I prefer to choose vegetarian/vegan options, and reduce my meat intake when I have control. I'm learning to cook, and have realized that if I never learn how to cook meat, in the future, I just won't eat it!
Even before I was vegan would never buy meat when grocery shopping because I hated cooking it/wasn't good at cooking it lol
i would love to try being vegan as meat has never been very appetizing to me anyways. but i'm in the same situation as you are, i'm too young and i'm from the south so my family loves meat.
A really great step for the animals and yourself :) Keep it upppppppp!
If you learn how to cook for yourself, there is no suck thing as too young. I became vegan at the age of 14 in a house filled with people who eat meat in every meal
Skye Steiner yes I agree with you. But in some households it can be complicated. Not everyone is the same
My husband n I went vegan Feb 2nd, 2021. Your channel is an amazing help. Thank you so much. Keep up your amazingness.
There are so many comments here praising you and even though I think everything has been said, I want to thank you once more and praise you for your content and the helpful and realistic approach you show. Seriously, you are such an inspiration! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more of your awesome content.
Something that I would recommend that is helping me transition to veganism is not making it a 100% transition immediately. Start slow. Replace cow’s milk with an alternative for a few weeks, then replace your yogurt for a bit, and so on. Going into anything too fast is going to make it hard to stick to. Also, do research. Watch a bunch of videos on veganism and vegan recipes and nutrition.
An alternative for cows milk is oat milk i started drinking it 1year ago and now i feel so much better. *baby cows (calfs) dont get the milk from their mothers because it goes to the supermarket so WE can drink it*
ua-cam.com/video/vrBgwpJCh5w/v-deo.html
This is what we did, a couple of years ago!
Totally agree especially if you're living with people that are not vegan so they have time to adapt to your new lifestyle and learn about it more so the transition is easier for everybody (I've been vegetarian for almost 6 months now and my grandparents are still afraid that I'm starving if I don't eat that piece of meat/fish so yeah 😂)
@Lee Ara Living with a family that is not vegetarian at all (although they don't eat meat in every meal) they didn't really understand what it meant and why I was doing that. Maybe some of them thought that it was just a phase. What I wanted to say was that you don't become 100% vegetarian overnight because it needs a lot of adaptation. Also I exaggerated when I said my grandparents were afraid that I would starve lol but they're still wondering what I'm going to eat if I don't eat meat which is very nice from them, but kind of annoying too because we don't need meat to have healthy meals
Sadia is basically the level of aesthetic i wanna reach
I feel like a vegan already after watching this.
Thank you for the notice on the legumes and starting slowly and how!! I’ve tried before and the horrible bloating stopped me from it
I'm not vegan BUT I would never put a vegan down...vegans are my heros.
Why are you not a vegan? :)
sky blue Maybe it's because of the environment he/she grew up in
+sky blue I will be vegan if u ship me everything is need hahah
Evan Herrera If done right veganism is cheaper. It's just knowing what to purchase. It takes some time though. I recommend researching cheap vegan staples and nutritional values. If not that's cool too. Just letting you know that many times veganism isn't as expensive as people make it out to be.
Or maybe it's because 'going vegan' just isn't the right thing for everyone. If veganism WAS the right thing for me, I would have already done it. But it simply and definitely isn't. Where's your god now?
So I just found your channel and I love your calm persona. You are a pleasure to watch. :)
Laura Beth Same! Just found her and I subscribed right after she said "I'm a vegan dietitian" 🙌🏼🌱
Laura Beth I just showed this video to my hubby and said the same thing. I love Sadia's videos because of how calm she is and how clean her videos are.
SHE IS INDEED...I AM PROUD TO BE A VEGAN. SINCE TURNING VEGAN NO MORE HEADACHES AND NO MORE DANGEROUS BLOOD PRESSURE
I like your name 😂
This is what I said! Love her channel.
'so if you trip, just turn it into a dance and keep smiling' i almost cried at this one.. You're wonderful !
Thanks for the thoughtful and compassionate way you shared valuable information!!!
I'm not a vegan nor vegetarian, but since I combined a little bit plant-based diet in my daily routine, my body feels so good like it is thanking me. Thank you Sadia for inspiring me.
Good on you. If i might make a suggestion, watch DOMINION on youtube and i think you will eat even more plant based and get even healthier :) my taste buds totally changed since i finally stopped treating my body like a morgue and have way more energy
Even just trying new plant based is great. 🌱✨
Bone decay sounds fun.
I haven't eaten vegetable for more than 2 years
Sadia, I love your philosophy that you don’t have to be vegan to increase a plant-based diet. My family is Puerto Rican and my food history we fried food and eat lot of meat. I am 61, Want to change that. I want to improve my diet and include more vegetables and fruit. You make it look so easy. I would need to buy new ingredients but I don’t mind because it looks delicious and healthy of course. I have been trying to do this transitions for years but found it very overwhelming. Your intro touched my heart . You make it feasible. You gave me hope. You made me tear over this. I feel that I can do this. And I will work slowly at it. I slowly learn new receipts and incorporate more vegetables and have the ingredients at home. Thank you for your gift. Most humble, Wanda.
Wanda Yanez are u srlsy 61
This is the nicest youtube comment I've ever read, God bless you!
This is incredible Wanda!!🤗you’re bringing SO much light to this comment section!!! She does have a beautiful gentle and very accessible way of introducing you to this new lifestyle! I’ve been a vegetarian 🌱 for 19 years now and I’m wanting to go more vegan for the planet and animal support but also I’m noticing more of intolerance to dairy and cheese especially... it’s a struggle because I love the way it tastes.. but I know I want to lose some weight and feel better in my body😅and that is motivating me to make the shift finally! I agree with her though, we can make small shifts towards this lifestyle! I know many successful vegans who love it! My sister and her kids are 🌱 vegans and they’re SO healthy and loving it!! Just follow that big heart and you can’t go wrong! Much luck🥰
@Susage Boy kid, that's not funny. Being vegan can be perfectly healthy if you do it right. I know many vegans who are tall, athletic, smart, anddddddddd (drum role)
Healthy!
So I have real life proof 😊. If you don't think it's healthy, then I am perfectly fine with that. Just don't treat other people's decisions like a joke.
@Susage Boy the lifestyle of others are not a joke. I'm becoming vegan because I want to protect the environment in many ways. If you don't want to be vegan, then that is cool with me :)
Meat is good for you, but supplements aren't that bad. Life does not revolve around meat, so in my opinion I don't see what is so wrong in eating some supplements. Being vegan reduces your carbon footprint, so I'm all in!
Fun Fact: B12 is actually decreasing in animal products as well because of the new ways we grow produce and how our agricultural system is now. Its even recommended for meat eaters to take B12 supplements now too.
Great presentation and very thorough. I’ve been contemplating making this lifestyle change for a while but now I’m absolutely sure. Thank you
I think I'm going to try and become vegetarian first.
@@byebye4857 same here!
That’s how I started out and the transition from vegetarian to vegan (to me) was much easier than going from a meat and dairy eater to vegan.
Verry good! Every step you take is something and thats a good thing :) I was a meat eater before, got health problems so i went vegetarian. While being vegetarian i started looking into veganism and after a while i made the change!
I have been a vegetarian for a year and I think I'm ready now >
I was for 4 years and now I'm vegan 5 days now
I watched the documentary "Cowspiracy" on Netflix and I am absolutely convinced now that going vegan is the right choice.
Watch “What The Health,” it is 😧
not everything in the doc was factual but it’s still a good doc in general
Butterflies on my Mind thank you for sharing
@@janicewilkans8372 you're welcome💕
Same but I’m starting out as a vegetarian. 🌱
This is on the first videos I watched when making the transition from omni to veganism. This really helped me. This April marks my 3 year veganversary
Loved all the tips and how simple you made everything you shared!
this is by far THE MOST encouraging, open minded plant based lifestyle video or discussion I have seen. Thank you! there needs to be more people that can communicate the way you did here in this video. Genuine, well spoken and thorough.
Halie Noel agreed.
Loved "don't be a hero".
I tried going vegan and healthy at the same time and it was such a shock. I felt a lot of pressure to get things perfect right away. But then I cut myself a break and decided going vegan was a big enough change first.
S R for me environmental and ethical concerns trump health! Everybody has their own priorities!
I became a junk food vegan when I transitioned and now I'm a health freak vegan!
Personally I think this was the best way for me because to begin with I was at a loss of what to eat (I didn't cook much before being a vegan) and it was great just finding something that was vegan in the shops even if it was a packet of biscuits!
You soon get bored of all that junk food. It all changed for me once I started cooking recipes from youtube and The Minimalist baker website. You can actually make healthy brownies and cakes, who'd of thought it!
Yes! I love that site! I'm hoping that eventually my healthy choices will crowd out the unhealthy ones!
Personally I went in stages because that's what worked for me. If you're drawn to the idea of doing it cold turkey, go for it!
as soon as you stain u had a pinterest I immediately subscribed. I'm so excited to start trying differnt foods and experimenting . I've been vegetarian for a long time but I have never researched what foods to prepare I am very bland and only eat salads, avocado on toast and whole fruits and veggies . I needed a change ! So glad I found you! thank u so much for the advise and resources!
Thank you for this video! ♥️ My transition has taken over a year and is still in the process. Your video is a good reminder to be patient with myself and keep a positive mindset 👍🙂
I don't see myself ever adopting a fully vegan lifestyle, but I've been wanting to switch to a whole foods, plant-heavy diet. I'm getting rid of dairy and processed meats now (happy new year!), and I'm excited to slowly transition into a plant dominant diet. This video has been helpful.
It's refreshing and inspiring to see people from this lifestyle accepting and appreciating those of us who are making the changes we can and trying our best instead of pressuring us into "perfection."
Oh me too! I'm dreaming about mostly eating plantbased foods, but having a few barbaques in the summers with my favourite chunks of meat with vegetables and wine kind of thing. And I just love fish and shrimps so I need to get to eat them on special occasions. But those weekly chicken and pizza and whatever that I eat because I just have to eat something I can change. It's a thing though, that vegetarian foods seem to have more flavour than the general Finnish diet. :D At least sweeter. There's some getting used to it. Yesterday I ate rice with bean sauce, vegan except for honey, didn't want to eat it again today, so I grabbed a tuna fish pizza from the freezer to at least eat something... Maybe I can try a new vegetarian or vegan recipe next week.
I first thought that one vegetarian meal a week wasn't really trying, but it looks like it's just enough of effort for me.. :"D Need to start small.
Just posted a super short video on veganism, please let me know what you think!
It’s easier than you think, I promise. Once you go heavily plant-based the transition to complete vegan won’t be difficult at all
In all honesty though, you can’t eat fish and call yourself a vegetarian. You can call yourself a pescatarian, but you need to be honest with yourself. It doesn’t mean you’re bad person it just means you’re being honest with yourself and others.
When I went vegan I made it as a split second decision and never looked back, it was a bumpy start but I loved it anyway. 😄
Me too!
Me too, I just suddenly became interested in veganism and decided to become a vegan and it wasn't hard at all. I wish more people would give veganism a chance
Me too. I watched Forks Over Knives and that was it. Three and a half years now, never looked back. My mother died from strokes due to obesity, eating the wrong foods which led to her getting type 2 diabetes, I certainly didn't want to go the same way!
that’s what i’m doing right now.. wish me luck
@@liz-jo8hz good luck!!!!!!!! :)
I love your videos. You sound so gentle and soft. Your doing this a long time now you have a lot of videos and I'm watching now. Thank you.
I went plant based just to lose 20 lbs, then with some research and education it morphed into a clear 3 pronged approach based on : 1 - nutritional and disease fighting benefits. 2 - sustainability of our home planet, and 3 - the ethical relationship with our animal brothers and sisters. Best decision I've ever made, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. It would be wonderful if this kind of content could make its way into our school systems.
I am a vegetarian and always had a misconception that being a vegan is extremely complicated and scary, this video opened my mind and cleared a lot of clumped thoughts. Thank you.
Why I want to go vegan is for my family. Everyone in my family are obese and so was I until I decided to lose weight. I went from 190 in April 2017 to 157 June 2018 with some off and on dieting/exercise. I feel stuck so been searching up how to lose more weight the right ways and think going vegan is perfect for what I'm looking for in trying to have a healthy lifestyle. Hopefully my family seeing this will want to make them not go vegan but think about their health and probably change the way they eat. Especially my sisters I grew up taking care of them and being the oldest I always feel like I'm the one they need to look up to. I love them with all my heart and want what's best for them both. That's why I want to change my lifestyle.
Lilpotato I wish you all the best .I have started a vegan diet too.Im convinced that its the best ever diet.Have seen and heard enough evidences.
Wish you all the best.
God bless you, because of my health I'm starting to seriously think of going vegan too
Does veganism really help you stay slim ? Do u count calories
I want to lose weight for the same reason bc I’m obese and everyone in my family too
Very well done! I feel encouraged to move towards a Vegan diet rather than insulted that I'm not. Thank you for such a well-balanced commentary on beginning the Vegan journey! Best to you!
I felt so calm and relaxed during this video and it made me feel like I could go at my own pace instead of having to become a vegan overnight. I was vegetarian for a few months a few years ago, but because of where I lived (and being a minor with no real control over what I ate) I was forced back into eating meat. Thank you for this.
“If you trip,just turn it into a dance and keep smiling” *wow*
Susan Zurita thank you JaniceWilkans
That was the best
I'm adapting more plant based meals to my diet for sure! love hearing you speak!
I agree, her voice is so calming and uplifting.
I like the thought of just adding more vegetables into my diet instead of going full force into it. That's the most helpful of all because what I need the most help with is weening myself off fast and junk food.
This was truly awesome for me. I was recently at 19 diagnosed with asthma which is triggered by a lot of the foods I eat and dust so it's harder for me to deal with it especially since I am so new to it. Currently looking for ways to improve my health, and this looks like a very good start
finally a nice calm vegan to watch, I'm a vegan too and a very peaceful non preachy person and your approach is completely spot on🙌🙌lots of love to you ❤
Rinsing off the beans and legumes also help with the gaseous factor. :)
Yes indeed! Thanks for sharing this too :D
Pick Up Limes Yep. Watch another video of yours after this one and you mentioned the same thing. Cheers
I'm SO EXCITED rn! Sadia is one of my favorite 'content creators' and huge inspiration and today my Nutricion teacher made us watch this video for class!!! Yes, life goal!
Thanks for your loving and heartwinning way to explain everything ❤
I’ve been a vegetarian for a little over two months and I’m a few months I want to begin to transition into veganism and your channel helps me so much. Thank you for being so positive and amazing!💛
I think more than the content, what I really loved hearing was the encouraging, non-judgemental approach here, and of course her lovely energy. Engaging consciously with what we resonate with at our own pace, while respecting others' paths, is definitely something I aspire to do more of - a practice of unconditional acceptance/love both for ourselves and others - a way of peace. Beautiful video, thank you xx ;)
I am so grateful I found your channel this past week. Your videos are full of helpful information, recipes, and I find your presentation bursts with kindness and your beautiful soul. Makes my heart happy, thank you!
Hi there,
In addition, please consider adding Raw Organic Perfect Food Alkalizer & Detoxifier (Garden of life) to the organic diet too as i believe that will help with boosting one's health (GOD Willing). I hope that helps :)
GOD Bless
💙💙💙
Love the share with love mentality!! This resonates so deeply with me. :). Dankjewel!
Yes, Yes! YES!!!!! THIS is how to get people interested. Very well presented! Thank you!
I’ve written 2 vegan songs called Time to Change and Rebels. It would be amazing if you could give them a listen! 🐄🐖🐓🌍💕🎶 ua-cam.com/video/NSGfQdZKd_Q/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/rry1QyII9iY/v-deo.html
“Just turn it into a dance and keep smiling.” I loved that phrase, I’ve been feeling a little confused lately with this veganism journey and listening to you has been encouraging
María Camila Ramírez Portela what does it mean to turn it into a dance, JaniceWilkans
Hi, i too love animals and vegan....this is my snapid :-- " siva_saikiran".
I watched both What the Health and Game Changers in the last 24 hours and it only pushed me further into wanting to become vegan - something I had been thinking about for a long time but didn't have all the information I needed to take that leap. You are so right about there being a lifetime of conditioning and it's a lot unravel, however I'm very excited about this journey forward. Thank you for such a loving and informative video!
You did good! I have just started this journey. I now have to think ahead and do a lot more prep work. It feels good to control my diet. In the process, I started learning how to cook. thanks, for the encouraging words!!
im a vegetarian and aspiring vegan, and i have "tripped" and goven into cravings a few times, its gets annoying when people point this out even though i am trying hard not to, its hard to handle the critisms of friends and family but i know why im doing this. i love you videos, its a dide of vegan people dont really see, you seriously inspire me. thank you for the encouragment!💕 i am actually going to college to be a dietican hopfully specialising in plantbased nutrition 💕😊

Mariee is Kinda Dead i get the same flack from my family. but then i ask them if they want to pay my bills and then they quite down.
Vegetarian means you just don't eat meat and you still eat animal products just not meat
You cannot understand how much I've looked for a video just like this! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!
Aw so happy you found it then, Andrea... or should we say, that it found you? ;)
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! I appreciate the information and your time putting this information together. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. It helped a lot and you explain with so much love and calm. It’s just inspiring.
I've been vegan for nearly 2 years and I decided to watch this for fun. You are SO wonderful!!
I am 28 years old and I have been a vegetarian since 15. I am looking into a fully plant based diet for anti inflammatory reasons and many other reasons like better skin and gut flora. This has been super helpful! Thank you!
heads up, anti inflammatory cure is turmeric
@@scottblabberbutt absolutely love the stuff! I use it every night in my ginger tea.🥰
@@chanellekirch then ur gucci from inflammation
Am going to become vegan.can i ask you did it give you a burst of energy..
@@LL-uw6sm ye it does after a few months, for me anyway. 3 months it took then I'd reguarly be much more energetic
This channel is such a refreshing and calming place. Thanks for all you do 😊
I love your videos so much, my current favourite, is the rice cake snacks, sweet and savoury, but to be honest I love them all, so thank you. By the way, your voice always calms me, I love it, in fact I think I’m in love with you😂 you’ve helped me so much. Take care xx
Best beginners vegan guide I've seen so far. Subbed without a blink.❤️
The Mushroom Den
The Mushroom Den Français tell me, if animals dont want te be eaten, why are they made out of food?
One way to start is to start with one meal a week. Breakfast is easy: oatmeal with almond milk and some fruit, a cup of coffee. Easy peasy. Then increase to a whole day, aka meatless Monday. I started with breakfast. Then found a work Buddy to lunch at vegan restaurants, now and then. Now I bring a vegan lunch (aka meatless salad). Dinner still has meat, but my spouse is trying meatless Monday. Good luck! Remember it's a journey. Take your time and enjoy! 💜🌞🌵
My bf and i are doing 5 days vegan 2 days meat tell we move out of his moms house
Suzi SaintJames thanks for sharing. JaniceWilkans
So it seems you are just looking to be plant based, right?
@@ryanwelsch9384 Me? I'm trying to lose weight and lower my cholesterol. I love eggs and seafood. Four-legged animals are fed grains,,, which trigger my autoimmune disease, so they are on my no eat list... among other things that increase inflammation, but that's another video. 💖🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames,
Yes you. It sounds like you are just looking to adopt a plant based diet to improve your health. If you want to be the healthiest you can be I highly suggest this man whom has enabled thousands of people to reverse their health issues: ua-cam.com/video/o0VxiKLPjyk/v-deo.html
Would love to see one of your grocery 'hauls' just so curious as to what and where you buy things (in the netherlands)
I'm considering becoming vegan and I must admit your videos are making it so easy for me to go ahead and take the leap. You're answering all my questions and calming my doubts. Hartelijk bedankt.
Wow, a non judgmental, non preachy vegan? What a breath of fresh air! Thank you for that. First vegan channel I can actually enjoy watching!
FabiJenneke that sounds a little judgemental :D
Vegan Thinking well, calling someone judgemental, is being judgemental, but I don't think that was your or their intention. I think they just want to maybe look at healty lifestyles, but without having vegans trying to stuff it down their throats and try and make them do it, she likes the more "do it if you like, and if you dont, don't worry" kind of people.
Agreed! Her personality actually makes me want to try to be more plant based, whereas encountering a judgemental, preachy, and pious vegan makes me want to chomp on a bacon bouquet. But i love her, i think if more vegans had her personality they could change a lot of peoples minds about veganism.
Garland Thompson that's good she makes you want to try it more but it's a little superficial to ignore the message over how it's being delivered, especially when innocent beings are involved.
'I am considering not owning a slave but I get annoyed when someone tells me what I'm doing is wrong and it makes me want to own more.' seems weird right?
Well i would prefer people respect each other as people and not let their philosophies get in the way of how we treat others. Vegans sign onto an ideology -one which i actually agree with- but they condemn and attack others just like a religious person does with their ideologies and condemn others and use tactics like shame, guilt, and even threats claiming to have the moral high ground. I don't care what religion or ideology you fall into, no one likes having it shoved down their throats. Which is why i like Sadia, and her take or leave what you would like as you will approach.
you should definitely do a “what i eat in a day” video, i would really love to see how much you eat in a day because i have a hard time balancing my food. im a vegetarian transitioning into veganism. i love how encouraging and lovely you are. thank you so much 😊
My UA-cam channel 😊
You’ve made this feel so much more approachable, thank you for your words of wisdom 💛
Your videos are so inspiring. Since I miss seeing your recent posting videos I’m binge watching your old videos. Anxious to watch your new videos. “Meta always” 🥰
Again, blessing us with your light. This topic is really close to my heart, and I know for sure it will help others join us in this journey to a conscious lifestyle. Thank you, flower.
Thank you so much, Cris ❤
Yes it is a help. I never tried making my own tofu. I am transitioning to vegan.
Pick Up Limes you are absolutely correct...thank you

I've grown up eating a heavy southern diet, but I've always loved vegetables and trying new things. I've been on a health and weight loss journey for the past few months and I've lost 25 lbs. I have always been so interested in veganism and I've watched countless vegan videos on YT, but this one is by far the most realistic and encouraging video I've seen. Thank you for this uplifting video!
3rd day becoming vegan since I watched Sadia's videos few years ago. Everyone has their own time and I think, this is it, now is my time. Wish me all the best :)
Just wow! You are so encouraging, thank you! I just became vegetarian and would also like to incorporate vegan meals as well. Thank you for being a positive light in this journey. I really needed to hear this today.
i just love this "no presure" baby step attitide of yours. I think that giving your body time to ajust to a new lifestyle shows it the love and support it needs to heal and stay healthy.
I'm not a vegan, yet I try to incorporate more and more plant based food in my diet, because I think my body really benefits from it. And as a non-vegan I still find your chanel so inspirational and helpful and I don't get the feeling of being judged for not wanting to become a vegan overnight

I cant be vegan, I get diarrhea
@@fr3etrial314 Maybe look into seeing a gastroenterologist? Although for most people, if you haven't been eating fiber much and then you go vegan and eat a lot of foods with fiber, it can indeed cause diarrhea. It's best to go low and slow when building up the amount of fiber you eat. It's a good idea to start with using the meat substitutes, and then building from there. Add beans in a bit at a time. Like a half cup a day. If that's too much, do even less. I've heard of someone needing to start with 1 tbsp. Once you find a level you can handle, slowly build up from there. Your body will adjust
@@fr3etrial314 you need to eat fibre, take psyllium husk or flaxseed meal.
I love this so much! As a 61 year old woman and cancer survivor, the time is right to make this change for the remaining 10, 20 or ever 30 years of my life, I love your kind voice, your well thought out and expressed ideas, and your friendly manner.. I thank you for stepping out on a limb to provide a wealth of knowledge about this kinda scary step into the almost unknown. Thank you!
i bet you used to eat a lot of plants already. You used to be closer to veganism than to meat diet. Try primal, paleo diet. Veganism will make you just sicker
@@magdal3nam.353 Provide a scientifical source for that claim...
I wish you the best of luck mam; you're super strong and inspiring. Sending lots of hugs your way!
I wish you a long happy life ahead
You can put on even more years then that if you go animal based. Veganism will trash your health.
this video is so inspiring, kind and
beautifully filmed, thank you very much
