Sophie also has a program to help others and you can find it here : www.eatmore-moveless.com/30-day-10-pounds-down-challenge Have a great day guys!
This was so much fun! I'm very honored that you wanted to interview me and I got to share my story with your viewers. You are such a natural interviewer Gillian, time flew bye🙏😘 Love your work and can't wait for your future!
Dropping weight is not superficial. Weight is something most women struggle with, it’s a global issue. We need to move away from shaming people for wanting to lose weight.
I became raw vegan after I started having severe problems with Irritable Bowel Syndrome many years ago. I was overweight and eating the Standard American Diet. I lost 60 lbs. and felt great when I was eating exclusively raw fruit and vegetables using some avocado for fat. No more Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Sadly over the years, I went back to the Standard American Diet. For the last four months, though, I have been on a cooked Vegan diet. I have lost 37 lbs. I have always enjoyed Gillian's channel. But in her interview with Sophie Alexandra Pool, I identified with Sophie's story as far as the transition to raw food is concerned. I am now convinced that I will go back to a raw vegan diet. Thank you Gillian and Sophie for that inspirational interview.
This was one of the best interviews you’ve done. I like Sophie’s decision not to workout in the way that society tells us to. I too was working out to lose weight and realized it wasn’t fun and the harder I exercised the less the weight was coming off. I do workout now for strength and flexibility and it’s much more fun. Also, I agree that eating cooked foods…just a bit here and a bit there becomes a slippery slope. I’ve learned how to socialize as a raw vegan now. I don’t tell people I’m raw vegan because then people become weird about it. If I know I’m going out with friends, I eat before I go and at the restaurant I order a customized salad. If I’m going to my family’s house for dinner, I contribute by making a beautiful bowl of salad that everyone can enjoy!
So true about relationships changing, everyone will object and I had to fight back with my will for my health and say NO this is what I’m doing and you need to focus on you and let me focus on me. I found boundaries were a massive issue when I started to change. Eye opening experience when change is so transformative. Much love
I think you are right when you said when you order a salad and not a burger in front of others it makes them consider the choices they make which can make them uncomfortable. I’ve seen it with my friends
Yeah I've noticed that with me too because I eat so extremely healthy it seems to sometimes make those around me feel bad about what they're eating and I never ever mean to do that ! But it does happen !
I feel her about cooked foods being a slippery slope. I never thought about it but she definitely has a point. Thank you for this video! Love this conversation. You asked great questions.
You're very welcome !! I had results like that too so quick and here I am 5 years later still doing it, thriving and loving it ! I wish the same for you !
Inspiring! I'm Sophie too and an accounting background! I did raw food for years and then regressed but have gotten back on the path. So glad there are others. I do think hardest for me has been not having supportive community and friends on the path too
These transformations are always so fantastic, but at the same time, so common for people willing to take more control of their health! It really allows us to have faith in the process the more we see stories like this. good stuff
This was so good. Thank you. I like that she talked about ending up in ER because her liver was having a hard time with the speed of detox, and slowing the detox down some with the steamed veggies. Sometimes slow is better to avoid the life-threatening detox symptoms. “Dr.” Morse always says to dig deep, but recommends the ER and the list of detox symptoms, from dr Morse, is horrendous. Difficult going through getting stuff up and out. Most won’t, and will stay on medications. Understandable… it’s not an easy journey for many. The Functional Medicine doctors, as I see it, are just about getting people off of processed foods to more whole foods, and a reduction of medications but not about true healing. I think eating high quality meat does that for people, but is it worth the damage it will do to the body? My son has chosen vegan for the ethical reasons, and I’m concerned because he is eating cooked vegan and some vegan junk food, too. But he does eat a lot of fruits and salads too. I make raw dressings for him.
Two questions. What is high quality meat? Also, whats so bad about cooked vegetables? Many of us can’t digest raw vegetables and to condemn oil free cooked or steamed vegetable side of any type is excessive. Steamed broccoli is not good for my health?
@@acdcmiami There are different levels to health. For some, just getting off junk food and highly processed foods (refined grains: white breads, bagels, crackers, white rice, instant oatmeal, Twinkies, pop tarts, pizza, cookies, etc.) will help. Cooking destroys enzymes. Broccoli is a difficult vegetable to digest. Soft raw leafy greens are easier to digest with all enzymes intact. Steamed veggies are better than junk food. By high quality meats, I mean grass-fed beef, kosher-killed meats, organic free-range chicken, wild caught fish with low mercury content. For those who are used to eating McDonalds and Burger King and meats that come from large factory farms, this adjustment can be helpful. But I really don’t think humans’ physiology is made for animal products (not for highly processed animal milks-homogenized and pasteurized), nor for cooked foods.
Great video and so inspirational. I started this journey on Saturday. It has been a bit of a challenge but watching these videos on your channel I now understand my body needs to adjust. I'm sleeping less but my quality of sleep has improved already. I no longer get brain fog (menopause), I'm a lot sharper. Feeling brilliant. Will continue to watch your videos for inspiration and motivation as want this to be a life long journey. Thank you so much for this channel. Sophie your story is amazing.
that's incredible Lynette !! Way to go !! It will be such a positive change. & I'm so happy you enjoyed the video !! I have another great raw vegan transformation coming this week !! My fav ever !!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love this interview! Everything she has said I've known but have struggled with bouncing back and forth between raw and cooked, even though I know I feel better when I don't eat cooked. When my daughter and her girlfriend come over for our weekly dinners and tea, I always have a salad but always some kind of cooked dish even though it's without meat. I try to prepare some kind of healthy food because they're both extremely overweight and I want to help them somehow. I love getting together with my girls and having that precious quality time, but wanting to eat the cooked when it's in front of me is hard to resist.
it's okay to feel hungry. you don't always have to "eat more". I was one of those people who HATED the feeling of hunger...sometimes hunger is okay. it's just a feeling.
Great story just shows how powerful raw foods are I also had a very hard time with detox and digestive issues dealing with all the raw foods it was all well worth it I have acclimated and so happy I did I agree do what works for your body 100% true ,i really identify with her story very inspiring , she really made an amazing transformation hooray for her🙌
@@GillianBerry yes I did about a year in a half and lots of digestive issues this had been a long road but I new this was working because I had day in between of such clarity and I believed in raw foods so deeply and boy I am glad I did it so so worth it🙏
@@rawveganlaura5223 wow !! so glad it's working now !! it gives others hope because a lot of people experience this ! have you made a video about this !?
@@rawveganlaura5223 yeah you should !! SO many people experience detox and they don't know if it is detox or the diet not working so you could address that ! Your experience can help a lot of people ! I think they can feel super discouraged if they're taking such good care of themselves and not seeing the results !
thanks for sharing this .it is always interesting to hear from other raw vegans and their journey, Me myself I dived into a raw food diet was starting to grow my own food . I think one thing that raw vegans barely talk about is the importance of where our food comes from ! :)
So true!! I am interviewing John Kohler from OKRAW next week and I plan to touch on this because I consider him a big time expert at this !! That's so awesome you were growing your own food!! I hear there is so much more life force to it when you eat it freshly picked like that too vs from a grocery store. Are you still raw? how long for ?
Yes I agree ! I've done some other interviews lately with Mimi Kirk and also Eli Martyr and we discussed that ! I am also going to directly discuss that in another video soon as well !
Omg Gillian! I can't wait! And Eli is amazing! I also love that you are raw and still like live in a house and wear makeup and stuff. I'm a mom of two small girls and just a regular person, so it's nice to see how, don't take this the wrong way, but "regular" you are!
Oh and thank you for not being judgey or arrogant about this lifestyle. Some people I look to kind of indicate they are superior in some way and that is not good for raw vegan movement. People like you, Eli, raw advantage, Lissa, are kind and open to all people and that is so much more attractive, so thanks for that!
Hi Gillian Is it possible to upload these as audio only ( like Apple podcast etc) ? Totally understand if it’s too hard etc so no biggie just wondering as it would be awesome to listen to these conversations on a bike ride etc. Either way thanks again 🙏
Hey yeah forsure I can add this one to my podcast ! It is on apple and spotify under the Gillian Berry Poscast have to add a couple of them will next week ,))
I can totally relate to the not exercising thing cause I usually did it for weight loss too . I've been vegan for 5 years and occasionally raw. Now since January I've been raw and losing weight healthfully. It's weird losing weight as I eat without exercise. But I do feel I need to do yoga because I'm home sitting all day. I eat more vegetables over fruit.
Great video. Does anyone know who authored the book that she mentioned about healing by what you eat? Thank you. I have been vegan for years but I’m six days raw and I feel totally different and need all the motivation and reading materials that I can get.
Could it be the placebo effect why so many people can’t go back to cooked foods because they feel bad Well actually called nocebo effect meaning you think it’s bad and the power of the mind makes it so that it is
yeah great point !! absolutely! & maybe that's part of the reason I experienced zero detox I was consuming half to a whole avocado a day when first becoming raw ! Happy Saturday Meli !!
@@christinajohnson1730 some people experience detox when they start eating so clean or if they cleanse so in some cases it works to slow it down by adding in more fats or in her case for a bit adding in steamed veggies etc ❤️
That was an amazing podcast! Sophie is just full light, love, and wisdom! I wish you guys well. I have a question though: Did you or do you feel cold when eating just raw? I have noticed every time i try to eat raw, i feel so freezing :( and i go back to cooked. Thank you again! 🙏
Hi !! I just did a video this week on how to eat raw in the winter and I talked about that so you may want to check that out!? There's lots of tricks like eating spices etc to warm up the body! To me I just feel so good raw it doesn't bother me at all the cold thing!!! But check out that vid it may help!! and so glad you liked the video!! sophie is so awesome!!
I've been eating raw for 6 months now and I noticed after a couple of months that my body temperature regulated better. I am actually much more tolerant now of our cold, air conditioned office at work where most people wear sweaters and even have blankets at their desks. I'm wearing sleeveless shirts and not needing a sweater. Thus is unusual for me because I've always gotten cold easily.
I don't eat only organic ! Some things I don't compromise on like I won't eat non organic strawberries because they're so heavily sprayed and I hear bananas are too non organic but yeah definitely not! I do try my best to be as organic as possible but it's not 100%!!
My personal rules: Nuts, grains, seeds, pulses all must be organic (glyphosate used as dessicate pre-harvest!), as well as leafy greens, and yes - strawberries =) because they use bromides on them. Everything else is ok, although papaya and sweet potatoes are likely GMO. I technically have healed so much using almost no organic so don't let it stop you, but the way I feel on organic plus the additional health benefits is worth the higher price, plus growing my own food in my tiny backyard and indoors with cheap LED lights. Non-organic produce is not nearly as bad as animal products since the animals eat tons of poisonous feed and it bioaccumulates, so just going vegan lowers the toxic load considerably.
I also don't eat all organic. I take it one step at a time: first focussing on fresh raw livings foods, then next step is focus on seasonal produce, then local and after that organic! I found out that growing some herbs, greens, tomatoes and bell peppers in my garden was the perfect solution. And growing my own sprouts was the best choice I've ever made👌
I have a hard time with this video. I did change my diet cold turkey, cut eggs, oils, chicken yogurt...to whole full plant base so free and nothing from junk vegan products. Only salad, kale, sprouts, fruits, oats, rice... The results one year later....I am tired of salad, I feel weak, low energy, my skin is awfully dry, losing hair... Seems like far, far, from what you are saying. 😔
have you tried fully raw vegan? I had issues till i went raw rhen it healed everything and are you making sure you eat enough and supplement? on raw my hair has improved so much same with everything may be worth a shot ? to try fully raw and eat a lot ? wishing you well you deserve it 💖
Cut out the rice, bring back oil, ( it's good for your skin) drink two to three litres of water ( good for skin as well) it will fix your skin dryness.
@@GillianBerry I am raw.... Maybe I don't wat enough but, my belly is big, bloated so I am scared to eat more. Having a bug belly is a nightmare for me.
Look at how many flipping adverts you have in the video. Clearly not bothered about your subscribers and clearly wanting to make money from us watching. Theres too many. Hope you sort that out
what ? I spend every dollar I make each month back into this channel and give my whole life to it. There are options on YT so you see NO ads if they bother you that much. I allow YT to do whatever ads. ✌️
Inspiring! I'm Sophie too and an accounting background! I did raw food for years and then regressed but have gotten back on the path. So glad there are others. I do think hardest for me has been not having supportive community and friends on the path too

Hi this link for eat more move less doesn’t work ?
Dropping weight is not superficial. Weight is something most women struggle with, it’s a global issue.
We need to move away from shaming people for wanting to lose weight.
Yeah we do you are right !
This way of eating is even in the Bible in the book of Daniel
I became raw vegan after I started having severe problems with Irritable Bowel Syndrome many years ago. I was overweight and eating the Standard American Diet. I lost 60 lbs. and felt great when I was eating exclusively raw fruit and vegetables using some avocado for fat. No more Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

i love how much positivity you bring to the raw community Gillian, i feel like the community really needed and needs you!! thank you!
Thank you so much Arianna ! That's a nice compliment I appreciate that and am so glad you see it that way !!
Gillian, you are providing a great service to humanity with these interviews. Thank you!
So true about relationships changing, everyone will object and I had to fight back with my will for my health and say NO this is what I’m doing and you need to focus on you and let me focus on me. I found boundaries were a massive issue when I started to change. Eye opening experience when change is so transformative. Much love
so true !! ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you all the best !!!
This is so true, and so "underspoken". I have to constantly assert myself when eat healthier. People just don't get it.
I think you are right when you said when you order a salad and not a burger in front of others it makes them consider the choices they make which can make them uncomfortable. I’ve seen it with my friends
Yeah I've noticed that with me too because I eat so extremely healthy it seems to sometimes make those around me feel bad about what they're eating and I never ever mean to do that ! But it does happen !
It is also a given that when you change spiritually, you vibration changes and some people cannot adjust, match or change with it. So they leave.
Thanks again Gillian for another enlightening interview. Sophie is an incredibly wise woman !!! I love you both 🙏🥑🥬🥦🥝🍉🍎🫑🥒🍍🍌🥭🍋
love you too !
I feel her about cooked foods being a slippery slope. I never thought about it but she definitely has a point. Thank you for this video! Love this conversation. You asked great questions.

I feel I had to not talk about what I eat with friends and family… People get upset by it! I don’t say anything anymore.
i don't say anything either in my daily life with people lol
Thank you for this podcast Gillian. I didn’t know Sophie, she is so inspirational!!!!
She really is !! I first saw her on IG ! And no problem so happy you liked it !!

@@GillianBerry i will certainly check it out :) Thanks so much for your quick response! 🙏😊
I've been eating raw for 6 months now and I noticed after a couple of months that my body temperature regulated better. I am actually much more tolerant now of our cold, air conditioned office at work where most people wear sweaters and even have blankets at their desks. I'm wearing sleeveless shirts and not needing a sweater. Thus is unusual for me because I've always gotten cold easily.
@@shareknowledge4792 Wow, that's nice :)
Who was the man you worked with?
also, what book she talk about ?? Please can you answer this ?
hey ! i asked her and she said this :
Ofocurse! Jurgen Spelbos is the name of the guy. And the book is Stressologie
Do you eat only organic? Hoping that is a “no” because that adds another level of difficulty. (Access)
I don't eat only organic ! Some things I don't compromise on like I won't eat non organic strawberries because they're so heavily sprayed and I hear bananas are too non organic
but yeah definitely not! I do try my best to be as organic as possible but it's not 100%!!
My personal rules: Nuts, grains, seeds, pulses all must be organic (glyphosate used as dessicate pre-harvest!), as well as leafy greens, and yes - strawberries =) because they use bromides on them. Everything else is ok, although papaya and sweet potatoes are likely GMO. I technically have healed so much using almost no organic so don't let it stop you, but the way I feel on organic plus the additional health benefits is worth the higher price, plus growing my own food in my tiny backyard and indoors with cheap LED lights. Non-organic produce is not nearly as bad as animal products since the animals eat tons of poisonous feed and it bioaccumulates, so just going vegan lowers the toxic load considerably.
I also don't eat all organic. I take it one step at a time: first focussing on fresh raw livings foods, then next step is focus on seasonal produce, then local and after that organic! I found out that growing some herbs, greens, tomatoes and bell peppers in my garden was the perfect solution. And growing my own sprouts was the best choice I've ever made👌
Which book did Sophia read? 📚
let me find out for you:)
It's a Dutch book written Jurgen Spelbos called 'Van Stress naar Geluk'.
@@GillianBerry thank you Gillian.
@@sophiealexandra3040 thank you Sophie
I'm searching full day of eating 😒
Great interview! My turn now
😁😁😁💕💕💕
How old is she?
30
I have a hard time with this video. I did change my diet cold turkey, cut eggs, oils, chicken yogurt...to whole full plant base so free and nothing from junk vegan products. Only salad, kale, sprouts, fruits, oats, rice...
The results one year later....I am tired of salad, I feel weak, low energy, my skin is awfully dry, losing hair...
Seems like far, far, from what you are saying. 😔
have you tried fully raw vegan? I had issues till i went raw rhen it healed everything
and are you making sure you eat enough and supplement?
on raw my hair has improved so much same with everything
may be worth a shot ? to try fully raw and eat a lot ?
wishing you well you deserve it 💖
Cut out the rice, bring back oil, ( it's good for your skin) drink two to three litres of water ( good for skin as well) it will fix your skin dryness.
@@GillianBerry I am raw....
Maybe I don't wat enough but, my belly is big, bloated so I am scared to eat more. Having a bug belly is a nightmare for me.
@@cel4lyf is rice bad ? OK I'll try this.
Been there too, I was eating loads of greens and not enough fruits, so not enough in the end. Maybe you can increase your fruits intake ?
What guy.... she talk about a guy that help her at the begining...what guy ?
👏 🍉

Look at how many flipping adverts you have in the video. Clearly not bothered about your subscribers and clearly wanting to make money from us watching. Theres too many. Hope you sort that out
what ? I spend every dollar I make each month back into this channel and give my whole life to it. There are options on YT so you see NO ads if they bother you that much. I allow YT to do whatever ads. ✌️
Thank you for this amazing podcast Gillian. I didn’t know Sophie. She is very inspirational!!!
Wow thank you! 🙏
Inspiring! I'm Sophie too and an accounting background! I did raw food for years and then regressed but have gotten back on the path. So glad there are others. I do think hardest for me has been not having supportive community and friends on the path too
