I just found you this weekend and watching how quickly this channel is growing…I’m so happy for you! I’m a mid-life suburban mom of 2 teens residing in the burbs of Vancouver. I’m loving how honest, down to earth you are and how confident you are in the choices you make living a minimalist life. I listen to you at work and have been inspired by you. You give me confidence too… thank you!

I do that too! The cooking tools are washed before I sit down to eat. I really don't like dishes in the sink. My BFF (since the second grade) is like my polar opposite on "stuff." First thing I do whenever I walk into her house is do her dishes that are in the sink. She tolerates me -- she's actually glad when I visit her (in another state) because I just naturally start doing the work. hahaha

Thank you so much ! I rarely comment something, i am new in US and i still struggle with making food. I work in a corp entry lever job and i am getting really overwhelmed after work so i order take out and as i live in suburbs i have access to fast food the most. Since i moved from Ukraine i have gained weight here and some stomach issues. Just glad that i found your channel it makes me calm and i feel very supported. ❤
@Exploravore5 ай бұрын
Welcome to America Anastasia ❤️ I’m sure you have been on quite a journey coming from Ukraine. Fast food is a tricky one here- it’s quick and cheap and everywhere, but is unfortunately not good for the body. I understand not wanting to cook after a long hard day at work, but simple things like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils and fresh fruit and vegetables can be very easy to prepare and very affordable too- perhaps you can try these 🩵🩵

Do you have any snacks during the day or protein? Also, just water? I'm curious :)
@Exploravore6 ай бұрын
It’s a common misconception that plant foods don’t have protein, but they do! Everything shown in the video has protein- as long as you eat enough, your daily needs will get met. The protein obsession is just a marketing ploy. Carbohydrates are my most important energy source that fuel me and make me feel great. I’m not much of a snacker these days, but if I need something between meals it will be more fruit, some raw veggies, crackers and hummus or a handful of nuts :) Oh and yes just water- fancy flavored beverages are not exciting to me lol.

@Exploravore6 ай бұрын
That’s okay! We are all on our own path. The body can change over time too though- I was vegetarian for 20 years before I went vegan, and dairy was my favorite food. I thought it would be super difficult to let go of dairy because I loved it so much, but after a month of not eating it, my desire for it completely went away to the point where it actually repulsed me and I never craved it, which surprised me!
