not until now, very helpful video :) loved your channel after i watched your first one

They used to have them all over the cafeteria in schools here in the US, but very helpful video regardless, thank you ❤️

Yes by the amazing sadia 😘😘

Yes! It’s very popular here in the US!

In my country, Indonesia, there is something similar called "Piring Makanku". Basically the food groups consist of starch (grains and tubers), protein sources (animal and plant derived), vegetables, fruits. The amount of vegetable in one meal should be the same as the starch. The amount of protein is half of starch, then fruit is half of vegetable.

Lilly Dragon - I agree, that's why Sadia is so brilliant. She is a dietician and nutritionalist who is wanting to educate people in healthy eating and she really does know what she is on about. I love that she imparts her knowledge in a non preachy way and just does it because she wants to help us all get healthier. She is amazing and I have learnt so much from her.

I'm guessing that's either not the case in Canada or their influence is much less, based on the official inclusion of "or alternatives" under milk and meat

As far as I know, our Canadian Food Guide is pretty similar to the US one. The inclusion of "alternatives" is new and likely a product of public pressure.

@@Lionforaday A new Canadian food guide has been drafted and is set to be released this year. Apparently the dairy and meat industry is upset because they were refused to be met with regarding the development of the new guide and, as far as I know, dairy is no longer considered its own food group and there is an emphasis on choosing plant-based proteins. I was part of the public consultation process, though I have not seen the finished guide to be released. There have been a ton of news articles about this though if you are interested in learning more! I'm so excited!

@@star-cursed Definitely I am interested! Thanks for letting me know. Isn't this wonderful news? It's encouraging to think that special-interest groups won't be running things anymore - I like to be optimistic and think that things are changing. There definitely needs to be more choice for people who don't want to eat according to the current "guidelines," such as they are.

Hannah Barnes you should look into challenge 22. They have nutritionalists that can help you plan your meals and it is free. www.challenge22.com

Watch avantgardevegan and Madeleine Olivia. They are amazing and make easy recipes

so true!!!

I think people are confused what the definition of veganism is: www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/definition-veganism (it's not a diet, it's a philosophy) She makes the plant-based diet accessible, but hardly ever speaks on animal rights and the ethics of why you ought not consume animal products. She's a dietitian, not an activist so I get it .. but she doesn't speak a vegan message.

@@om-boi i want to learn this. I never have liked eat meat, and afther knowing what happens to animals i dont want to eat anithing that comes from an animal. I will never be vegan because i have cats but if i can change my diet i will be more calm. Im not an activist, and im not pushing anyone to do something, just me that i dont want to, and when i go visit someone they understand and are very acomodating and i in no way push someone to do the same.

Hi there, Milk, for instance, cows milk is designed for calves as opposed to mankind. It may also contain puss and blood, which are not good to consume. Water on the other hand is the best liquid to quench one's thirst , hydrate cells and flush out germs, harmful chemicals, toxins, viruses and other pollutants. I, personally, would recommend 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 💙💙💙

How do you feel differently?

She and her content are AHHHMazing!!...A true Guru indeed :)...This video was theee Epitome of a Guide for anyone, really, to implement in their particular diet...#ProudPescatarian

katievigil I am also since January 10th vegan and I couldn’t be better!

I haven’t had the same luck. Have to ease into it and figure out what works for me. My gut was a mess eating vegan. Even got heartburn. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good to know that, Ilona, I'll keep it up then ;) Sending lots of love ❤

Yessss

I love both of your channels!!!

Aww thank you so much Alacia, so sweet of you to say!

Agreed, I’m so grateful for this being free♥️ (even though “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” - watching a few ads is so much better than paying). I’m so happy Sadia’s channel has blown up cause she truly deserves it

Thanks so much, Maya :D ❤

Thanks so much for sharing this, Madalina, and for your kind words. It's very true, we were lucky to have a guideline that provided the "alternatives" as an option. Congrats on doing the research on your own though! It's more work but very commendable :) With much love ❤

Thank you for being so nice! I just wish we will change something in the guidelines too, so the future nutritionists and doctors will have the opportunity to learn more about plant based nutrition :)

ethically u might be uncomfortable but naturally, nature made us meat eaters. Its not the protein that's the issue that guidlines tell u to have meat its because of B12 which is extremely important for humans without which u lose muscle, mobility n any kind of brain power; including memory lose, brain fog, overwhelming. to keep u sane n moving u need to eat meat naturally but if u dont want to then go for supplements. but its good to be conscious about what u eat n how it impacts environment n our body with least foot prints. sorry for my lack of punctuations :(

Divya Sasidharan Believe it or not, I know how important B12 is. But I was stating that it's nice to have some guidelines that acknowledge this lifestyle as a healthy one.

I was actually b12 deficient . Because of this reason I was afraid to go vegan. Even though eating animals didn't help. So I switched over to being vegan. I take a b12 supplement when ever I remember but now I feel better then ever, physically and mentally. We do not need meat! Been vegan for 2 years now! :)

It's vegan

I'm glad you found it as well, Jenny! :D

Lebogang Sekwati The more research you do and the more documentaries you watch, the more validation and confidence you will feel. It worked for me! The best quote..."It isn't the vegans who are filling the hospitals."

Lebogang Sekwati I feel like this sometimes! Especially because I am also raising 2 little vegan boys. We just gotta do our homework and make sure we eat a variety of good wholesome healthy foods :) stay strong!

From experience. Run some blood work after around a year of being vegan. Personally I found out that I am not absorbing Vit. D and Vit. B12 supplements which kind of wrecked havoc into my body. Try not to think about proving anyone wrong, it is all about finding whats best for us :)

Thanks so much!! :)

So glad to read this, Rachel :D And it helps it cook so much faster, so an added plus, right ;)

Rachel Erickson How long do you soak them for? I’ll try that!

the second sunrise I just soak them overnight. Literally before I go to bed, I put the oats in a bowl and cover them with water. Don't measure the water, just make sure the oats are covered. Then I drain the oats in the morning and cook the oats in a little almond milk. It's hard to describe all the effects of doing this. I feel like I can digest them soo much better and in turn I feel a lot better. I didn't know if I would notice such a difference, but it has been a game changer for me. Plus after you soak them, they cook up lickety split and not the usual 30-40 minutes. Another bonus. I hope that helped.

Thanks! Can't believe I haven't heard of this! Yeah, even if I don't see _massive_ changes it's easy to do and worth it to cut down on cook time.

@@rachelerickson7321 thanks for the tip. I love my good bowl of oats and this is a great way to prep them.

katie anne How did it go the second time around?

This n’ that first month is veganuary so hopefully that help XD

This n’ that I’m going vegetarian for January and I’ll see how it goes from there

Glad you're doing your research! If you haven't heard this yet, I'd recommend tracking your calories for a few days at the beginning if you can, because it's really easy to under eat when you first switch from an Omni to a vegan diet. Best of luck ☺️✌️

Meeeeeeeee haha

Already vegan here. Go for it! 🌱

That's a wonderful question, Brittany, and we've written about it in the article on calcium. You can find the link to the article in the description box under the video. There is also a comment in the comments section of the article that goes into answering this further. Hope this helps for now ❤

@Ayluh A basicly your to lazy to look

@Ayluh A Hey I totally agree; veganism does not have the answers for optimal nutrition! My friend became a vegan and she can cook, but what she makes for her "healthy" vegan foods and plates is really nice looking, but I personally can't eat it it's so gross, dry, over cooked and veggies incorporated into a patties and it's just the worst kind of meals possible. Veganism can work, but without SOY, SOY, SOY in vegan patties, soy this and soy that; vegan food is so over-processed it's very fake. I get our meat industry if you look into that fucking sucks! I'm into eating meat, but what the cows are fed and how they are treated is fucked up!

@Michael Lenelle She literally promotes keeping the highly processed foods to a minimum on her channel. Also, do you leave this type of comment on nonvegan channels that also promote keeping the processed food to a minimum. Because Ive watched some of those channels and they show the same if not more processed foods. And, processed does not always equal bad

uKnow so if food is overcook nad dry it’s mean that she can’t cook

So glad you enjoyed it, Lularoe, thank you! :)

Five vegan children?? How old are they? How do you get them to stay vegan at school and stuff?

I've seen Sikh schools in the UK that are vegan, for example. In my country (Portugal) there's vegan option in the cantine

And they can bring their lunch along

Child abuse.

Thanks so much, Inam! So glad to hear the fam enjoyed the daal :D

Destiny Winters wonderful question!!! I'd love a video on this also please Sadiya!!!

Destiny, thank you so much for the kind words. So happy to hear you're enjoying the content :) And it's a wonderful question! We've got it on our list to create an article and hopefully a video as well in time. Until then, sending much love ❤

great! I'm looking forward to it :)

I would also love your thoughts on this topic! I eat WFPB (have for years), but digestion has still been a challenge. Food combining is something I've been loosely trying to implement, but I would like to know if there is compelling evidence that this is not necessary for good digestion.

@@Johanna_reads 　you can find the answer to your question on the book called " FIT FOR LIFE" by Harvey Diamond, which is the best seller book in the US. It answers a lot of questions. Eat fruits before meal because, No milk because ..., etc. etc. ; ) Also the book "WHOLE" written by the author of "CHINA STUDY" will help you too.

That's cool, you're lucky :-)

Hi, chikpeas are proteins. Like lentils, beans, peas. Buckwheat, kinoa, millet, rice, corn, oats, wheat, rhye, amarant, barley etc are grains. Potato is a starch vegetable meaning it is not very nutritious. Other vegetables are more nutritious like sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, celery or parsley root, beetroot etc.

@@margaritakortsenshteyn6044 I know this is an old comment, but potatoes are extremely nutritious, they're just not green and we slather them in oil so people get them confused with "bad" starches.

7:36

honeybee0503 i like making a cheese sauce out of cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes! You can also use tofu for extra protein. Of course you also have to add the typical seasonings- salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, nooch, etc. Making veggie tots could be helpful too! Or adding some veggies like beets and spinach to fruit snoothies!

u dont have to force urself, ur body will guide u.. u can slowly transition, by adding and testing 1 veggie or fruit at a time. dont give ur body a shock of completely changing its sources

Whenever nuts are discussed, find a seed or legume alternative :) This includes the butters too! (Like sunflower seed butter) As for alternatives to the avocado, it depends on what you're using it for... Like instead of guacamole dip, you can dip in hummus instead. You could probably make a savory-tasting chia seed spread/jam instead, if a recipe calls for using mashed avocado as a spread... like on a sandwich or something. There's plenty you can do :) I recommend looking through the PUL website to find really good recipes. There are other really good vegan recipe books, too, that have all kinds of great ideas for replacements/alternatives. As for the autistic children, that's obviously less simple. But it's generally recommended to take it step by step and make it fun. I recommend reading this: www.autismspeaks.org/blog/2012/11/09/encouraging-picky-eaters-autism-try-new-foods

Thank you all for your great suggestions. 👍

honeybee0503 Oh She Glows (blog and cookbooks) would be another good resource. Her second cookbook is a staple in our home and it has tons of substitution recommendations for nut allergies and others. She has young kids and has a kid-approved tag that might be a good place to start on her blog.

Piyush Uniyal usually

AirAri24 can it alone satisfy our calcium needs?

Piyush Uniyal I am not sure, but I would suggest researching the topic from different sources (for example, the U.S. government's recommended guides may push for dairy more than another country's). If you have access to Google, there is a section that can lead you to scholarly articles (make sure they are peer reviewed, so that you know that they have been scrutinized in the field)

Plant based calcium: Calcium Broccoli,Brussels sprouts,Butternut squash,Carrots,Cauliflower,Collards,Kale,spinach, cabbage, bok choy, greenbeans,turnip greens, asparagus, leeks,onions, pumpkin seeds, almonds, okra, rhubarb, sweet potato,Black turtle beans,Chick peas,Great Northern beans,Kidney beans,Lentils,Navy beans,Pinto beans,Soybeans,Soymilk,Tofu,Vegan baked beans, White beans, Corn tortilla, Rice Milk, Wheat bread,Whole wheat flour,Dried figs ,Naval orange,Orange juice, and Raisins.

Śūnyatā Eight I think the idea is that people don’t got as much calcium purely from plant sources as they may think. Like someone previously said, countries have different suggested recommendations for calcium. If you’re eating a diverse diet with an emphasis on veg over fruit, you’ll likely get a majority but not meet the actual recommendation. Or you can try to eat at the recommendation but that would be less intuitive and risk feeling limiting. Fortified foods and milks on the side would bridge the gap.
