love you, wow so amazing to show all your stretch marks and skin

This video made me cry. I so needed this today. I love how sweet and motivating and thoughtful you are. I can’t wait for the veg challenge!

I appreciate you saying that your muscular body is genetic. Your honesty and body positivity is refreshing ❤️

Sorry but I used to watch high carb Hannah and she’s fine but you encourage me so much more Kiki. I love how simple you make it all and your food is yummy. Also love the input for children’s meals. I would be giddy if you texted me!!!!! Just remember you ROCK!

You and Hannah. I see the two of you as teachers who have the same information but present it in 2 different ways. You're both so good but have different perspectives and teaching methods. Love you both so much!

I experienced the same constipation! I went cold turkey 2 years ago and was so bloated and constipated for a couple of weeks, and then it went away and I have absolutely no problems since then! Lost 120 pounds so far, excited to do this eat your veg challenge! Love your channel Kiki!

You have no idea the impact you are having on teen girls by showing your marks and loving your body. I work with teens who compare themselves to filtered pics causing low self esteem, depression, and eating disorders. You are amazing and beautiful. Thank you!!

Your positivity and encouraging words are so welcomed in this crazy world of ours ♥️🌱🌱🌱

Loved this video. It's great that you point out, when doing Dr. McDougall's plan (50/50 plate), you encourage the use of sauces and condiments. I think that's the part a lot of people get wrong, including me. I really did not enjoy the 50/50 plate. But, once I started mixing up the simple mustard/maple/lemon juice dressing, I was hooked. Now, I find it so stinkin easy. And the only positive I can say about this COVID-19 phase, is that it allowed me to eat, without guilt, the whole foods, plant based way. My husband is not vegan. He still wants all his meats, lunch meats, milk, cheeses, etc. I finally am okay with that. It's not for me to change him. I tried, it didn't work. And I can cook everyday at home, and enjoy doing it. And he's enjoying eating at home again. I think the high salt and fat content kept drawing him to eat out. Now he's kinda stuck with me. Ha Ha. But he's happy not eating out now. I do push more veggies on him than usual, but it is what it is. Luv your stuff.

Hahaha I loved the poop convo. Idk why it’s so taboo! Everyone poops! 😂😂

The emphasis you put on self love and acceptance in conjunction to getting healthy and losing weight is SOOO important and I don't feel like enough "influencers" talk about how important it is to be healthy in your mind first and foremost. Some of the times in my life when I lost the most weight and was at my thinnest were when I was also the most mentally ill so it wasn't healthy at all! And obviously not sustainable. 🤷‍♀️

This video was recommended when I searched for "plant based breakfast." New follower. I have a lot of weight to lose, but more importantly than the weight at this phase of my life, is that I need to restore my health. I'm old enough to be your Mom. After years of eating sugar and processed food, it's taken it's toll on my health. And I'm allergic to all red meat since a tick bite 2 years ago. I've had a lot of inflammation and multiple autoimmune diseases. I want to be more active physically, without health issues and pains, and the weight loss will be the plus. I'm sure your channel will be a great help for me. Love your personality and style as well.

i found Kiki last month, ordered the book from abroad...took forever to arrive...read it in 3 days, just finished my starch/veg shopping and ready to start Monday. I have 90lbs to lose..excitrd

I LOVE how real you are! Keep it up! Women need authentic talk about our bodies!!!❤️

Loved this!! Made me cry when you spoke of self confidence, something I still struggle with on a daily basis. I loved when you said: "I encourage you not to compare your body to mine or anybody else's, you are uniquely you, your body is your body and let that be the best body it can be for you. Don't compare yourself to what my body looks like or what the next person's body looks like. Don't waste time in that space and don't waste time feeling bad about how you look, there is only one of you! Feeling beautiful is a choice." I am going to recite this to myself every day during the challenge - thanks so much! :) Big hugs!

Love when you include the bloopers! Joining the challenge even though I don't have insta. Thanks for the inspiration girls. 🥰

Thank you for showing how your belly looks. I love when people keep it real. Even slim people curves. You are a beautiful inspiration. I'm trying really hard to love myself and accept my body. It's really difficult after hating it for so long.

I have been watching you for a month. I enjoy everything you post even the bloopers. I have watched High Carb Hannah but I feel I can relate to you more. I am half Mexican half German and have been overweight for 6 years now. I bought the two books you recommended. I started a whole food plant base diet almost 3 weeks ago. My starting weight was 189. I have some whacked out periods an major anemia problems. Bleeding for 25 days straight then no bleeding. I have been to so many doctors with little help. I want my health back. You are inspiring me that I can get my health back. ❤

"If I believe I am beautiful, I am freaking beautiful" Plantiful Kiki

I just love you to bits! You and Rich Roll are my two fav plant based KZfaqrs, by FAR. XOXO

Thank you for loving your body the way it is. I really appreciate the positive message you are sharing; I needed to hear this. Not enough people model how to love yourself!

I just came across your channel like a week ago, and I must say how fortunate I feel to have done so. You're so genuine, pure and unapologetic in your authenticity 💖. God bless you!!! Stay true to who you are 😊🌸🌼

I needed you self-body-love talk today. I appreciate how genuine you are. Thank you!

I’ll be honest, when I heard about you, I wasn’t interested in hearing about eating from a young 21-year-old who never struggled with her weight. Okay, I WAS WRONG! You are delightful, and I respect your health journey. I enjoy how you keep it real and have created all of these videos to be helpful to others. Bless you! I am menopausal and could lose up to 35 lbs. so I’m trying every day.

Just found your channel earlier this week. I have already been on a plant based diet for 20 years and I am loving seeing all your recipes.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your honesty and candidness. Showing your stretch marks and being proud of it - is amazing! You've accomplished an amazing thing and it's clear your focus was HEALTH! LOVE IT!

You'll soon have as many subscribers as Hannah. As for whether people get loose skin after losing a lot of weight, a lot depends on the elasticity of your skin. As you point out, this is partly genetic but is also better the younger you are. So you can lose large amounts of weight when you are younger and not have loose skin, whereas if you waited till you were older, you would have.

Cracking up so hard over the poop portion of this video! LOL it's normal to poop 3-4 times a day when you are ingesting so much fiber rich food and water loaded veggies! I'm super excited for the challenge!!! Loaded my fridge with all the veggies!

Hands down one of your most inspirational videos!!!! Thank you for your beautiful kind words!!❤️❤️❤️🌱🌱🌱🌱

I love ALL your videos but this is my favorite!! So raw, real and vulnerable. Thank you for being so honest and opening up with us. Feels like we are just girlfriends sitting down and chatting, I love it! Keep being you! 💜💜

I love your channel and appreciate the simplicity of the foods. It has helped me so much. I also love High Carb Hannah. You are two different people with different styles and you both provide tremendous value to this community. I love that.

I love your videos! I really appreciate the transparency and and low stress approach you take to feeding yourself and your family. As a working mom of three, your videos resonate with me. Very appreciated!

thanks for being so real. Hard to find that on youtube.

I have binge watched all your videos this past week and I love your candid manner and your attitude of keeping it as simple as possible!

I am here because of Hannah & I am so so happy to have found you 😍 your videos & recipes are just a delight xx

I love you 🫶🏽! Thank you so much for your inspirational stories and information throughout your videos 🥹 I have PCOS so it’s easy come and hard to lose weight. I have been stuck at 150 ish for most of my adult life I can lose 10lbs and as soon as I have a regular American diet with meat I gain it all back. One week recently, I was stress eating sweets and whatever I wanted to comfort me and gained 10lbs in A WEEK! 😢 Now it doesn’t want to leave. I am ready to love on me and do what’s necessary for my body while gaining super confidence in my own skin. To have a vegan diet is my goal to counteract my PCOS and weight control. So grateful for ppl like you sharing recipes and health journeys. You make my heart full and the food is amazingly delicious-that cheese sauce OMGosh! I’m rambling. ✌🏽 Don’t stop being authentically you, you are amazing and Gorgeous! 🖤

Best way to start my day with one of your vids! I’m a new subscriber and just started this way of eating the day before yesterday. Loving it. Going serious grocery shopping today and my steam basket for my Instapot comes in the mail today. It’s a good day!

I’m starting this challenge. I have been low carb for years which has left me super low on energy and unable to get those last 15 pounds off. I’m excited for the next 30 days!

I just love you. You are so candid and forthcoming. How many women would show their stretch marks. I love that you love yourself enough to say, it's ok. You rocK!!!

Here from Hannah’s channel!!! New sub! I’m 6 months pregnant & have been eating lots of fresh veggies & water to keep my baby healthy!!! 💙💙💙

I love your honesty and your ability to keep it real and simple!

Thank you for being so genuine! I know it's no coincidence I found you, just the inspiration and guidance i need. You're so beautiful 💛

I never comment and rarely subscribe, but your energy is amazing! Thank you for motivating us! I work in a call center and currently getting yelled at, but I place them on mute while they rant, and just binge watch your videos- so therapeutic! 🙌🏻😹

Where has this channel been? I love how you show us your stretch marks. Thank you for being vulnerable! You're a gem Kiki!

Revisiting this video. I love you waaayyyyy more in this video. Here you still were authentic, more 'natural' and real. I fell in love with your channel through these video's. Lately I feel more a little fake 'ain't I great 😁' and commercial vibe. Please go back to this. To this I could relate. Thanks for all you work 🌹🙏🥰

Kiki your home is so beautiful! You should do a house tour and show us all your ideas and how you designed your home. I love it!

Your honesty and ability to show vulnerability around the so called "flaws" is just amazeballs and i am so very glad to have found you on YT. Your inspirational and im a follower of all you say and do because you walk your talk

I appreciate your natural conversational way of speaking to the camera. It’s incredibly refreshing!! I also adore your content, it’s relatable and real.

I’ve been watching your channel a while now. You have an amazing personality, and quite inspiring. I appreciate your videos...

I love that you three have come together!

I applaud you for the supportive, real advice about our bodies and loving yourself. That’s why I love watching your videos. You’re very easy, down to earth, and real. Love your unique easy recipes and ways to combine veggies and starch.

I love how honest and real you are, and how you share the bloops, lol! Like finding a hair in your food, lol! I wonder if you used parchment paper instead of a paper towel for the microwaved potato chips, they would stick less? Not even sure if you can microwave parchment, but just a thought! 😁

Thank you so much for your honesty....very refreshing and inspiring. Because of this, Kiki, you are an amazing role model. Although I started my starch solution with Hannah, I am firmly watching you now. .and you have answered some questions about the starch solution...that have clarified and inspired me. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for being real. Absolutely gives me hope. You have no idea how much that means to those of us that feel like we will never ever be as thin and attractive as you. I am encouraged now. Thank you!!!!

I love how well informed you are. You always do your homework before you share. Thanks for sharing. You are a good girl. 😇☮️💕

Great video. I’ve been on the Starch Solution for two weeks. I had lost almost 10 pounds, then I shot back up in weight over night 🥴😔🥵...so that sucks. I added gluten to my diet, and started incorporating some organic wheat bagels into my daily eating. Guess I need to go back to rice and potatoes + water vegetables only.

So excited for this challenge. I love having an encouraging group to interact with 💕 Oooh oil-free S&V potato chips 😍 might have to give that a try

I love 💕 your honesty. I’ve been really struggling with horrendous endometriosis pain for years and did have the constant heavy bleeding like you did. Had a hysterectomy, cervix removal and boom it’s spread into my colon. Basically I watch your videos and now I know I can do this too. Thanks honey so much and we love 💕 your honesty and never change xxx 😘

You won my heart by showing you and your stretch mark. You are beautiful inside and out, I mean that.

For questions about fiber and bowel movements, check out the plant based/vegan book Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (gastroenterologist). So good! It talks about gut health and how eating the rainbow of veggies helps so much! Also if you want to get a preview, check out some of the podcasts he's been on. I first watched him on the Engine 2/Forks Over Knives youtube channel. The book is so good, packed with info and hard to put down!!!!

Yes, I'm so excited for this!

i've been wfpb since last october and have only lost 10 lbs. that bothers me and i really think i just haven't figured out the right formula for my body. i'm 72. the good news is that i recently had labs done and my numbers look amazing. cholesterol down to 128. it wasn't too bad before but a couple years ago had it too high and was put on meds. now i'm cut down to 3 times week for 3 months. then if it's still down, i'm off those meds. i'm sure i will be. just agreed to continue so my doc could go thru this with me and learn. she is not wfpb. she also cut my blood pressure med in half. i'm pretty sure the reason i'm not losing is too many starchy veg compared to non-starchy. just want to thank you for your videos. you inspire your followers and I really appreciate that you are just as concerned about the soul as the body. you have a good heart.

If I could have liked this video 100 times I would have! So glad that I found your channel

Joining the challenge! I need all the support I can get :) I started my WFPB journey a month ago. So far doing good but this last week I started to have junk food cravings and I even have a few dreams eating steak ;)

I'm so glad we can have oatmeal on the challenge, that's my staple for breakfast lol. So how much fruit can we have?

As we say in Texas “You keep it trill!” That’s why I love watching your videos 🙌🏾💜 It’s so very refreshing in this day and age for someone to be real about everything but even with their so called flaws or real life body. You are AMAZING 💜🥰

Hi Kiki, just wanted to say I recently started to watch your videos, and I am addicted!! Your food is so brilliant! Your manner on camera is refreshingly down to hearth. Thank you for sharing your with us what have in this video which couldn’t have been easy, thank you for reminding us that we are all beautiful. You are one amazing lady!! Xx

I know if anyone was awake this morning i would have gotten funny looks, ate a huge salad and then a big sweet potato with a banana.mixed in....lol

Wait...so could you potentially make healthy vegan tamales with the masa? OMG!

Thank you ❤️ great message. I’m 50 and I have put my body through so much. Beginning to be proud of it. FINALLY 💕❤️

I just have to say how much I LOVE that you were so honest about pooping! When people are changing their diet like this, they should really know the honest truths and to know what's normal.

Not sore or anything 😂😂 I am dead but I agree, more poops is "normal" on wfpb because your body knows how to use it break it down easily and get rid of it. Happy pooping people

I’ve never clicked so fast haha

I love your honesty and common sense! And I love the sound of the eatmoreveggies thing. I don't do Instagram but I love the motivation behind this. ❤️

Can I say that I just LOVE you Kiki! You are so damn real and like me. You bring me joy and I am back on this video for the umteenth time because I'm to the point that I am going to do a week with ONLY food you eat. I am not able to stick with all my food choices (due to birthday week) and feel horrible. I MUST get my health on track!!!

Ummm...if I got a message from you I would freak out ❤️️

Thank you for the potato chip hack! OMG, I can’t wait to try them. And I love your comment about not being bothered by the paper towel stuck to them! CRUNCH!!!!

I understand the reaction getting a message from Hannah...she replied to a comment I left on one of her posts and I was so excited...I screen shot it and sent it to everybody 😂😂😂😂❤️

THANK YOU for showing your stomach. I'm SO happy to see someone showing their normal, human, un-retouched body! And you are beautiful! I've been vegan for 4 years but am getting back on track with eating healthier to lose 5-10 lbs.

Thank you for all you share. You truly changed my life! Loving my new healthy vegan food journey! Also, I love the color black as well. It's such a cozy color in a home. Your homestead is looking fabulous!😊

You have quickly moved to the top of my favorites list. So happy to find this channel and love seeing how real you are with your meals and other topics. Very inspiring!

I really appreciate your candidness, your ability to laugh at yourself, and show your bloopers. Such a positive message. I am so glad to have found your channel. I wish you so much success with your channel.

LOVE your vulnerability and honesty, girl! You keep it real, light, fresh, and fun! Thank you so much for all you share with us! BTW, do you remember where you got that little grey throw blanket I see on your bed? My hubby & I have a white quilt on our bed, but my feet are always cold, and I've been wanting a soft, light grey throw just to add another layer over my feet at night. So since I've been trying to find one for awhile, my eyes went right to it, and I was like, "That's it!" lol! Anyway, if you remember, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Kiki! xo!

Thanks for the authentic person you are ...this video really made me smile! I appreciate your style and content , truly compassionate in your delivery.

Hi Kiki, I’m so glad that I found you just in time. I’m recently got a call from my doctor telling me that I need to change my diet because my blood test results showed that I’m pre-diabetic , border line high cholesterol and high blood pressure 😔You are my inspiration & I’ve been watching your videos to learn how to cook healthy for my family & myself. Now that I’m in school vacation, I’m happily will become your student.... omg I’m tearing right now, I can relate so much with the struggles that you faced at the beginning of your healthy journey. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

Kiki you really are an inspiration to us all. I’ve been into nutrition for years and vegan for two migrating to WFPB in the last 12 months. Found your channel about 3 months ago and use so many of your recipes, especially your cheese sauce and brownies! I had spinal surgery over 30 years ago and have hang ups over my body image but you have reminded me that I am me, unique and grateful for the life I’ve lived and for the 2 amazing children I’ve been blessed with. Thank you!! Please keep sharing your videos and recipes 😚

I have really bad constipation eating this way but I figured out to have more cooked veggies rather than uncooked cause it’s easier to digest and also basmati rice! My gut loves basmati rice rather than normal white or brown rice. So excited to start the challenge! Keep these videos coming ❤️

I just burst out laughing at "self serve ice cream consistency" 🤣 you're the best! So happy I found you and your channel! I've learned so much in the last month, love your content! 💗from🇨🇦

Thank you so much for your videos. I found them 2 weeks ago and jumped in 100%. I noticed my energy level go up within the first few days. Im down 5 pounds already woohoo! I have never eaten so much and I'm rarely hungry between meals. You are the best💖

I also really enjoy your channel and all your great ideas for easy meals. I find you very positive and encouraging. Thank you!!💚

I really appreciate how candid you are. Thanks for the great videos!

Thank you for always being so honest and encouraging! Looking forward to the coming week 🌱💚

Thank you so much for all your videos and recipes! I started a week ago cold turkey this lives style, bought the starch solution book and have read it, I have been following your suggestions and wow!!! So far I’ve lost 4 lbs in my first week!!! Thank you!!!! I got about 45 lbs to go.

I've been doing the 50/50 for the past few days. I'm in for the challenge starting June 1st. Don't have Instagram though. Thanks for all of your videos, they have helped me so much!

Bless you for being so transparent. 🙏🏼😊

I’m so happy about the challenge! It made me discover you! It’s amazing to have a Mexican vegan influencer that you can follow 🤗 love your energy!

Hi Kiki, this is exactly where I am! 10 lbs away from my goal weight. Thank you for the reminder of 1/2 veggie 1/2 grain! Much love🥰

I’m a new subscriber and literally OBSESSED with your videos!!!!! I’ve been binging for a week. I love how down to earth you are and your recipes are easy and delicious! Also love “it’s about the health, it’s not about the skinny!”

I love your honesty as a woman thank you for that your videos are really inspiring me 🙏🏽

You do look so great! So inspiring. Because of you I have been doing high starch/plant based diet for almost 2 months. Losing weight steadily. Not as fast as I would wish but I am 50 years old so it's just going to come off a little slow at this point in my life. I have lost 12 lbs . I have a lot more to lose and some health issues I am resolving. I wrote down word for word what you said about your weight loss and health as a positive affirmation for myself to say every day as if it already happened. Maybe that will help. Here is what I wrote in my journal..."I am super grateful for the health I have been able to recover. I am at a healthy weight. I feel energetic. All of my health issues have cleared up." This is my favorite channel! Your recipes are so simple and you keep it real!
