PAHA this video was gold! what is life even without avocados, coconut milk & mental freedom around food! strict HCLF was so 2015 so glad we have great examples like you now showing balance & how to stay vegan long term! :) x
Yes!!! Thanks so much for being a voice of reason for the community and offering so much rad advice Miles!
thank you for speaking out a lot about the unhealthy attitudes that sometimes pervade a movement that is supposed to be about compassion and having a healthier relationship with one's food :)
Healthy Crazy Cool agreed!! 😊💜
I'm just jumping in here but I think people do the hclf woe because they want to lose weight
Right! -and you've been saying this for years!
I'm just really glad that the general way of interpreting veganism on CZcams has changed from a couple of years back
I agree! I love that the representation of vegan diets is so much more varied on social media. And I don't have to feel bad when I want to share a recipe that's not "clean-eating" approved.
@@SarahsVeganKitchen that 'clean eating' thing is far too much and makes you develop eating disorders. I can remember myself getting trapped into this too, creating anxiety over eating out and stressing too much. Glad it's loosing it's prevalence:)
@@HH-bz6qi she literally said she doesn't judge anyone who eats that way if it works for them. Right at the start of the video, impossible to miss. This is probably the least judgmental channel I've watched. Who shat in your overnight oats?
@@HH-bz6qi It's like you didn't watch the video or listen to what she had to say at all, she literally said how this did not work for HER, and passes no judgement if this is what works for other people. I just .. what?
Tiina H i agree so much!!! it’s a lot less toxic then when i started watching
I feel like the french fry lettuce taco thing is what non-vegans THINK vegans eat hahaha
Abby Andrew true but prob less potatoes haha
Also it’s such a basic vegan meal
I’d love to see you recreate the recipes in this video but how you would improve them now!
I simply adore this video! I’m not a vegan, but I really love your channel and your way of cooking, and I’ve been watching you for a while, and right now I can tell you 100% you’re my favorite vegan/fitness/food youtuber. Seeing you criticize your own food choices from like 3 years ago is so refreshing, because even you, someone who works around food and fitness can show us that we can get lost in these trends and deprive ourselves from the things we love just because today coffee is bad, and tomorrow salt is bad. Of course we need moderation in life, but it’s so easy to lost this moderation and fell into this rabbit hole that is “healthy eating” without even truly knowing what is healthy for our bods. This video is a breath of fresh air. I knew I would love it from the beginning. Great job sarah, always looking up to you 💖
You should definitely recreate/tweak old recipes! 👍
It sounds fun. :) I probably will!
I agree.
Great video Sarah! Found it super relatable. I defitnely fell into the hclf stuff for a a couple years.
More balanced/less restrictive diet has helped my relationship with food and body image.
Tofu and nut butter for the win!!
Yesss! 🙌🏼 I think so many of us slipped into the HCLF thing. So glad the community as a whole has seemed to become more balanced.
Almond butter and extra firm tofu....hell ya!!!
Yes! Me too! That fear of nut butters, avocados, nuts and beans, urgh
@@happycat9920 extra firm for life!
Lol Sarah, it’s sweet to see how gentle and non-disparaging you’re trying to be with your past self💕 updating your older videos is such a good way to track your culinary development! Looking forward to it
Oil actually has a dual purpose when used in cooking, yes it helps with texture in some instances but also aids in the absorption of vital nutrients. Many veggies have fat-soluble vitamins ie fat needs to be present in the meal for those vitamins to be absorbed so its definitely better that you moved away from fearing fat (your body thanks you for it!).
i was literally about to comment this! you need fat just as much as you need carbohydrates and protein.
Tons of foods other than oil have fats
i still skip oil in favor of nuts, seeds, avocado, other fatty foods. I'm not against oil and actually cook with it pretty often, but there are healthier alternatives if you're looking to just add fat into your meals
@@stephaniesantos78 Oh I know there are other fat sources that are an alternative to oil, I just find a lot of people who follow the 80/10/10 lifestyle fear even the unprocessed forms of fat (like eating some avocado, nut-butters, or seeds)Sarah is not one of them which is refreshing, she spreads a better message about eating in a balanced way. Yes, fats are a bit more calorie dense, but I just think people shouldn't fear them so much. Most people don't gain weight because they eat avocados, nuts, and seeds, and a bit of oil they use when cooking. It's always the highly processed foods that are part of the standard American diet (I know I used to be 240 pounds, and eating a balanced diet helped me get to a healthy weight (150lbs).
@@MF-vu2ot exactly! lowering your intake of processed foods is the easiest way to maintain a healthy weight without even trying. it's so much easier to think "how close is this meal's ingredients to nature" as opposed to "what are the exact calories from fat/carbs/protein in this meal?" and i love vegan processed food from time to time, and in some cases i think it's actually not too bad health wise! but it's so much easier to overeat on that stuff so i keep it at arms length as much as possible lmao
Please don't do that potato cleanse. You are so much more healthier now. I actually had a hard time watching this, it honestly made me think of when I had an eating disorder. I had to skip threw the video because the restrictive nature of it. These things don't usually bother me but wham it came out of nowhere. I'm so glad you are eating a more balanced diet & seem more comfortable in your skin.
Aw, I'm sorry that happened! I know what you mean though; sometimes I'm unexpectedly triggered by certain things. Sometimes if a friend or family member talks about how they're dieting, I freak out a little bit because it does remind me of my ED (years later). Sending you lots of love! I'm glad you're in a healthier and happier place now too!
Thank you for being so genuine and true in your videos, I loved the fact that you did not hide anything. keep going like this.
i used to eat just like the video, and i was restricting the same things you did. its weird seeing how much your mind can change in just a few years.
Loved this video!! Love to see more like this. I went vegan just two years now and you tube definitely helped me. High carb Hannah was the first but after finding you I felt like your outlook was more real. My wife suffers from depression and anxiety and you have helped me understand so much from your experiences. Thank you for being brave and putting yourself out there.
Wow, this comment means the absolute world to me! To know that I can help you and your loved one navigate depression/anxiety is amazing. 😭 Thank you so much. Lots of love to you both!
This is such an amazing video, and so so important. Love the honesty
I love how real you are now. I've been watching your videos for a long time and starting watching around the time of that old video so I've loved you all along! But I'm happy that you're living a less restricted lifestyle and that you're more you :)
Such a great video!! I remember watching your older videos while eating my own pile of saltless fries. I am so glad I stopped restricting food and brought fat and protein and salt back into my life! I feel so much healthier and happier ❤️
Okay the mastercard joke took me out! Good job!
Omg, I remember Hannah's potato cleanse. That's how I discovered Unnatural vegan, and realised how restrictive it actually was
I was so overweight most of my life and felt shame eating in front of others. I was too conscious of my size and scared of judgment. Wouldn't eat all day and then I would binge at home. Also was food deprived at one parents house and then forced to finish my meals at the other. So messed up eating habits from childhood. Also developed into an emotional eater so definitely have strived to become mindful of that. Kicked a salt addict habit. Still use it, just mindfully. Still have trouble with my eating habits but they're a ton better than a decade ago, even a few years ago. I've lost a ton of weight since having babies and so it's a great opportunity for me to finally be a healthy weight for the first time ever basically. Been hard to not obsess over food and weight gain. Trying to listen to my body. It's a learning curve. I love me some pasta and bread but my digestive issues flare up so trying to be kinder towards my body. Rice noodles here I come! Also been loving carrot and zucchini noodle type veggies. Awesome!
i think all of us were this preppy back in 2016 and are over it in 2019 (at least for me it's like same)
Hi Sarah! Lovely as always. Looking back at older videos is neat. Also love to see how people grow and change!!! ❤️❤️❤️ much love girl!
I love how honest this video is. Thank you for making it!
It's so cute how you grew as a person. I totally feel you. I used to restrict my calories so much a couple of years back! For the record, I love both the old you and the new you. You are always super authentic and that's what I find amazing.
I wasn't vegan at the time of these trends (nor am I still really but I eat more vegan food than I used to) and honestly, the community has grown so much more positively. I remember being scared to go vegan because of how scary some influencers were. It's a lot more welcoming now for sure and definitely healthier
Girl I love the way you look now! Not that you looked bad all glammed up, but you looks amazing now with your natural look and I love your dark hair! I like that you’re looking up your old videos that’s great. Keep up the great work.
Oats are so good for you, so I try to spice it up. I make a big batch of steel cut oats so I can divide into jars and freeze extra. When they're cooked I add peanut butter, stevia, and cinnamon. When I'm ready to eat, I pour a little plant milk on top, microwave till warm, and done. Easy, healthy, and tastes like a peanutbutter cookie.
Yes ! I would love to see more re-creation of your old what I eat in a day, but with the twist of updating the recipes with how you would do it nowadays !
😍
I love how your appearance on social media has changed. You went from getting all glammed up to being more minimal and natural. My bf says I need to get jazzed up buuuut I like have a very minimal routine annnd to me its more genuine
Me too! I cannot be bothered to try make myself look like I don't daily! I just want to feel comfy 💚
If my boyfriend said that to I’d literally never get out of my pajamas. Don’t change for anyone girl, you are perfect as you are.
Krista Noelle Barril Your man is kind of a douche for saying that to you I hope he doesn’t take you for granted
Self love is so important! No need to get jazzed up for no man! You do you beautiful!
I do my hair but I stopped wearing makeup a few years ago. It's so much nicer being who you are.
Yes so funny to hear you in your old video and seeing your current ones. I feel like you've definitely come into your own and are more comfortable in your own skin and just who you are in general. 💕👏🏻
Soak the steel cut oat overnight for quicker cooking :)
Yessss such a good tip!
I’m so happy your diet has changed since then. it’s freeing for the mind to finally allow yourself the deliciousness of avocado, nuts, seeds, and so much more! Glad you’re doing a lot better💖💖
I started my journey doing banana date smoothies and now fully transitioned to whole foods plant based, so can relate big time 🌱💪
i love how you reacted but also made a re-enactment of the meals !
Actually the Planters unsalted dry roasted peanuts just contain peanuts. I currently have a jar of it. I started to worry for a sec so googled and looked at the labels. The regular dry roasted has a ton of seasonings and gelatin probably to get the seasonings to stick.
Great video though! I remember eating like this a few years back. I do so much better with a more balanced ratio now lol.
I LOVE YOU SARAH! Your videos are my fav.
aw thank you!!!!
Genius video idea! Loved it! Balanced vegan diet for the win. I always felt terrible trying the high carb diet. I would be starving just and hour after stuffing my face
YES!!! Me too! i for sure need fat and protein!
YEAAASSS!!!! THIS IS THE BEST!!! I would watch another!!!
The crunch sound of your potato tacos is so satisfying!
It's not that you were too peppy back then, that's when I found you, I've continued to follow and learn from you because you've experienced life and continue to grow and have life changes; been unafraid to share with your followers and express your thoughts and feelings; and so many can relate to you because you are so very down to earth. You're incredible and I love your videos and the fact you're open and express life experiences with you community. It makes me continue to watch even if I'm not vegan. I've learned so much from you, meal prep wise, and life wise. I appreciate you and your videos and all your honesty that you've offered over the internet!
I love when you post videos this frequently :D
i’ve been following you from this time / even before! crazy how timesfliesssss
It’s so interesting seeing how you changed so much. This also proves that nothing works the same for all of us. I’m the exact opposite of you. I thrive on high starch, it gives me tons of energy and if my fat goes too far past 15% I sleep for days and my skin goes nuts. I love little experiments like this ☺️
That's so awesome that you've found a way of eating that works for you! I agree, it's so important to know that while we can take pointers from other people, ultimately we will each have to figure out what works best with our bodies. I think it's awesome that different styles of eating are represented in the community now!
I remember watching that video when it came out! It’s been fun watching you evolve over the years. Personally my life changed for the better when I started prioritizing protein and healthy fats over carbs in my diet
I definitely stan the idea of you revisiting old videos and changing things up!
Don't use the word stan
It's really good to see you not struggling with disordered eating like before.
can relate to this so much lol. I went to the Thai Fruit Festival in like 2015 and I remember feeling so guilty that I wanted to eat junk food at restaurants and everyone was sooo "healthy" cycling everywhere and eating plain rice noodles. HAH facepalm. anyways, i'm just waiting for my kroger french toast sticks to heat up rn.
Carolina R those French toast sticks are sooo good
aren't they though?!
Are they vegan? I live near a Kroger but never bothered to look at the ingredients for french toast things because I always assume they're not vegan.
Yes they are (: just ate some this morning lol
oh my god i remember watching that video! lol i’ve been around for awhile and have enjoyed you through all your evolutions :) don’t torture yourself with the potato cleanse. i think seeing your updated tastier versions of recipes would be more fun and interesting for everyone! and the closest i ever came to HCLF is buying powdered peanut butter almost 3 years ago and it still sits in my pantry untouched. ive never been into dieting, not enough reason or willpower but youtube managed to convince me that one product was so necessary lol. i’ll start throwing it in smoothies as you suggested!
Vegan mug cake video!!!!
In China and Vietnam, (where I currently live-American expat), lunch break is typically two hours. It is encouraged and part of the culture to take a nap after lunch. I love this practice to help with digestion...part of TCM/TVM, traditional Vietnamese medicine and Chinese medicine. They are pretty habituated to eating and sleep times, as well.
I’ve been on the Starch solution for six years. I don’t find it restrictive at all. I am more than satisfied on this diet. Zero desire to change. But glad you found what works for you.
Agree
And it's also cheaper. Love ky whole foods :)
Can you and Eric react to your old videos together, including the ones that you two filmed together? I love you Sarah, keep the wonderful content coming!
Karen Dang love this idea!
I use to do the same thing with romaine lettuce cups, potatoes and sriracha! That was my go to meal, but I still love LOVE potatoes.
I would HATE watching my old self eating habits haha just the same as you with the high carb diet, I feel like I was always obsessed with diets and it makes me mad that I had an unreal constant feeling of “yeah, I’m not obsessing with food anymore, I’m cured!!!!, so I’m going to follow this new diet but HEY!! I’m not obsessing no more. This diet is like super healthy, not like the others”.. sure @myself lmao I said the same thing for literally every diet that I followed 😅 it makes me so mad thinking about how silly I was! (And good video, as always, keep it up! Cheers mate)
I know what ya mean! And I'm sure that in a few years' time, I will look back at some of my habits now and laugh. Always a learning experience, that's for sure!
meee
I really like that idea of updating an old video "what i eat in a day" to suit your current diet.
Loved this video concept! Food still looks bomb!
also i love this series, keep 'em coming!
i love this reflective video on one of your old videos, that's awesome that you can look back on your diet before...people's diet and lifestyles change, whether or not vegan or not
Also, I like the current chill but still clearly happy Sarah.
This video hits home.Really glad I eventually found my way to a well-balanced (vegan ofc) diet rather than being on the restrictive HCLF train
This is such an awesome video!!
I would love to see you recreate dishes from this period but do it the way you eat at the moment!
Old you looks like Mandy Moore!!
Red haired Sarahhhh! You've come such a long way! Love thisssss
That’s how I remember you with the red hair
It was actually quite helpful for me to hear how you look back at the little things you used to fear and realise how pathetic it was. I still have a fear of drizzling a bit of olive oil on my salad when I know that I will enjoy the salad much more. Thank you for your honest videos.
Such a cool video! I'd love to watch the video you and Eric discussed where you modify some of the dishes you ate back in the day.
Isn’t it so great after going through so many seasons in life, how you find what you feel best with?!?! I look back at myself and think “Thank goodness I got over that!”
My diet story: I went keto before becoming vegan and didn't lose a single pound. I stopped being low carb and focused on eating regularly in smaller portions and went down to my lowest weight ever.
Fields congrats!!! Hope you celebrated this milestone.
Then you weren't really doing keto right, my friend.
@@scandisnowgirl3696 or maybe different diets work for different people.
@@scandisnowgirl3696 that is such a condescending comment. Keto doesn't work for everyone.
@@MyLifeInWonderland it actually does WORK for people who stick to their macros correctly. It may not BE for everyone bc some people just love carbs and sugar and can't stay away from them, but it most certainly WILL cause weight loss along with other health benefits if done correctly. Facts.
I remember the potato cleanse!! My husband and I joked it was the Mark Watney diet 😂 (for all you sci-fi fans out there!) Just found your channel! Great content and I'm excited to see more, girl! Thanks for sharing a great message!!!
I loved this video! 😂 oh and you look very good with this hair colour 😊
Yes! Dye your hair! I've been watching your older videos as well and feel like the red really suits you.
Also yes! make another video trying your old diets please!!
This video was really interesting and I'm sure not too easy to do. I'd love to see more! :)
Oh yes, the potato cleanse! And you look sooo pretty in that video! Love the long hair!
I loveee this hair color on you
thank you!!
This was super fun to watch!
wow! this is so interesting that you looked back at your diet in 2016 because I can totally relate. In 2016, I was doing raw til 4 and I was so scared of fat, like i didn't eat any overt fats. I was so othorexic. I feel like it was so bad for my health to not have been eating fats and enjoying my food. I was so fearful of food. I'm not like that anymore thank goodness, but it's so crazy when I look back at it too. thanks for sharing! I don't think you should do another starch solution video because it didn't make you feel good, but it would be cool to see you update your old zero fat recipes.
I definitely did the potato cleanse xD I don't know how I ever had that much self control lmao. And the red hair looked awesome on you!!
I would love to see you alter your old what I eat in a day videos great idea
Super interesting video, love it!
you seem so much happier and well balanced now. I do love the red hair tho :)
LOL omg the potato diet...I did it too. Didn't mind it actually, but yeah, probably not great for you if you did it long-term. Great video!!
This video was great! Really like good idea with this cause it was super entertaining and made me feel better about including more fats into my diet because we were the same! When i first went vegan after a few months I already lost weight and was skinny but in my head i needed to lose more weight so i restricted myself to high carb low fat. Thanks Sarah! love you and your videos!
That's a great idea "How I made it then - How I make it now" :-)
The oatmeal with all of those topping must be about 500 calories! Lol. Ya, steel cut oats are high carb but have fiber. So, not too bad. I love them and just add a date and a Brazil nut, sometimes some vegan milk. Decaf coffee is processed with the same stuff they make nail polish remover with! Look for Swiss water process filtered decaf. Love the video, it was fun to watch you relive the meals and hear your updated comments about it all. Thanks!
try mashing a super ripe banana, vanilla , cinnamon, 30g quick oats (pure, not the sugared sachet) and add water to cook - i add a lot cuz i like mine soupy too) and cook on stove , soooo yum the banana sweetens it nicely and makes it substantial
When you talked about the tofu-stuff (having to much fat and protein) I remembered that I actually rarely ever ate chickpeas (also oats for some time) because they had like idk more fat than some other carby food like WHAT?!
Gosh, eating disorders.. and I can so relate to the restaurant-sauce-story.
Cool video I'm glad we're over 2014-2016 man :D
Hi Sarah! I’ve cooked steel cut oats in the Instant pot!
I really don’t view the potato cleanse as extreme. It’s really helped me and many other people I know to reset your taste buds and cut food addiction. It’s not meant to be followed forever.
AHHH that potato fry meal is such a throwback, i can't believe i used to eat that as a staple meal lol
Yes I remember the potato cleanse and being so offended when Unnatural Vegan called her out on it..now I'm like damn UV was right. 🤦🏻♀️
My version of mud cake, put soaked dates in blender and blend, then add black beans with some juice from the beans then add some cacao powder.
8:35 I love how honest you are 😀
Totally unrelated...but I just noticed your copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler in the background and I got really excited because I am currently reading this book and I am learning so much!
It's a life changer!
Whaaaat. How could you be satisfied after two potatoes?
This was really interesting to watch, thank for sharing! It's wonderful to see how your mindset and eating changed.
This video came right on time. I was just watching that same starch solution video on your channel. I just started the starch solutions after reading the book so i can lose some weight and hopefully help with depression.
High Carb Hannah has a lot of videos about starch-based eating and weight loss, if you haven't heard of her yet!
@@SarahsVeganKitchen Yes! You and her are my favorites
Love love love this video! Too many vegan you tubers are so wrapped up in weight loss and how skinny they can be instead of what is the best way to live longer and be healthy. Thank you for the honesty and being real!! And that’s what she said ! 😉
OMG I remember the potato cleanse I wanted to do it back then but never got around to doing it lol
Team white rice! lol @ rice flavored water. Oh, I remember the potato fad. I used to eat them a lot too, same with bananas. I think what we learned from all this is to eat mostly whole foods, low salt, lowish fat and oil, and just eat a god damn beyond burger and pizza once in awhile!
Totally! (Responds to this comment while eating pasta w/ beyond sausage haha.)
@@SarahsVeganKitchen omg so good!
When you said “it’s just oats it’s fine” it reminded me a lot of Lauren Toyota from hot for food lol she says stuff like that all the time 😂
