Thank you for this feedback I really appreciate it :)) Yes I will add a video about simple finances to the list!! Blessings to you as well 🩵

It’s the only way 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you for those kind and encouraging words- they truly mean the world to me. And yay fellow Canadian! I’m American but I grew up in Edmonton :))

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!

@wildorchid8531 thank you so much- this is so cool to hear. It’s been wonderful to connect with so many people like yourself. Excited to keep going! And Vancouver is definitely on my list of places to visit- it looks so beautiful there 🙌🏻🙌🏻

That’s adorable- funny how opposites attract 💛🩵

So glad you found some help here today! Good luck with your health journey- you can do this! ✨💚✨

Thank you!! Be sure to check out the North County in San Diego- it’s the most beautiful part :)

Yes do what feels good for you!!

Thank you!! 💕

I can eat endless mountains of noodles 😋

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 🩵🩵

It’s a must 😄

I hope you are prepared for a new sauce addiction 😅😅

Glad you liked it!!

So I actually almost eat the same thing everyday lol.. But if I switch it up I’ll make some more vids ;)

I usually do one main shop once a week and often times a second quick shop to pick up odds and ends. The absolute must haves are fresh organic fruit, assorted potatoes and rice :)

​@@Exploravore💜

I understand- you need to adapt to what is practical for where you live. Potatoes and carrots are amazing! Super healthy and tasty- big staples in my diet 🩵

🤗🥬🍠🥔🍅✨

Ah congrats! I am so happy to hear this- the planet and the animals say thank you 💚🌿

Let me know how you like it! Pick up some basil if you can it adds sooo much good flavor :))

@@Exploravore that was good 👍 I just missed olives and basil 🌿

Seriously maybe like 3 lol. That dinner I showed is usually 5 nights a week, then one night I will likely make pasta, and one night a week I like to go out to a fun restaurant for Thai or Indian or some other yummy vegan food. Breakfast is always fruit- I just rotate what fruits are in season :)

More to come!! 💕🌸

Will do 🫡🫡🩵

✨🔪✨

@@Exploravore What make is it?

@annalytic sorry I don’t remember the brand and it’s not written on the knife 😬

Thank you 🙏🏻✨💚

Thank you! And thanks for the tip 🤗

Welcome to the family Rose! I have no idea how many grams of protein I consume as I don’t believe in counting macros or calories. The protein persuasion is a marketing myth- I go off of how my own energy feels, not off of someone else’s prescription ;)

@@Exploravore Good answer! Thanks 😀

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.

Thank you 🙏🏻✨💖

Carbs fill me up and keep me going! And it’s hard to tell from the camera angle but my dinner and lunch bowls are huge. The bowl I use for my dinner is meant as a family serve bowl, not an individual size 😅

Maybe I looked too fast lol. Didn't see much carbs. And ya that makes sense then. I'm a small bowl kind of guy lol. Small bowl and small spoon or fork @@Exploravore

fruit, vegetables, rice, potatoes, noodles are all carbs.

#carbstrong 😋😋

The brand is Primal Kitchen and the sauce is called Golden BBQ

thank you, hooray----you are inspiring----im like you , i do not want anything i don't use---deatra

Plant foods are naturally lower in calories, so you just have to eat more of them ;)

Me too! It’s my special bowl :) I have plates but 90% of the time just eat out of this bowl 😆

Omg it’s so nice having that luxury 😄 And yes I am 100% GF

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!

I like brown rice and wild rice sometimes, but 90% of the time it’s white basmati rice for the win :))

Veggies can still be for everyone ;)

Oof wish I remembered the brand- it’s not on the blade, but I got it from Bed Bath and Beyond. It’s a Japanese style blade but I thiiiiink a German brand 😬

I work as a bartender in a restaurant 🙂

Yes correct- I don’t find it necessary and it’s also a big inflammatory trigger for me. I’m not 100% oil free because I do eat out at restaurants, but when cooking at home I don’t use it. Makes doing dishes a breeze!

I go slowly and keep my eyes on what I’m doing ;)

Usually not- I prefer to cook without oil so boiling dries them out less

In the past when I was a professional athlete and under intense pressure to be thin, I had a history of restricting calories. I never really had “food addictions” though to anything like sweets etc.

I’m not into supplement culture- I think Mother Nature gave us everything we need. Carbohydrates are my main source of energy. I do not count macros- I go off of how my body feels. Eating this way gives me amazing physical and mental energy and stamina, so I follow that, not someone else’s prescription. But you do what feels right for you!

In tune with your body makes sense. Keep the videos coming

A lot of people eat whole foods plant based without protein supplementation

@@toritabb That doesnt change the fact that the human body needs protein, a minimum of 90 grams a day, to remain healthy. Its what fuels your muscles. If you dont have it, your body will eat itself a.k.a. eat its muscle.

@qq1651 wow I haven’t had meat since 1996- I wonder when my body will finally eat itself 😄
