- We're finally sharing our yoga diet about what, when and why we eat since we get this question many many times a day. How do we align what we eat with our yoga practice? Check below for all our other offerings, resources, documentaries, other channels and more ✌️
We didn't make this video to convince anyone that what we do is perfect and they should do it, too. We explained what we do and encouraged others to think for themselves. If you seek the truth on any topic in life, you can expect that it will never be spoon fed to you. You need to dig deep and explore yourself. ❤️
Since many of you asked: we do not use supplements like protein powders on a regular basis. Sometime we use pea protein to put into a smoothie. What we use daily is B12 and Magnesium oil. Spices we cook regularly with are cumin, tumeric, ginger.
This is what we do and what works for us and is not intended as any advice for you. Consider consulting a doctor or nutritionist if you're planning on making changes.

Should we do a 'what we eat in a day' video? Thumbs up on this comment if you want it ✌️
If you're interested in any of the topics we talk about in this video and want to learn the science and research behind it, please look at the description and get started there with the documentaries, articles and channels we have listed 🙏
Yes please! Especially on the first thing you eat (break the fast). I've been doing 16/8 for a while now (3 years vegan) and almost always break it with a big fruit bowl. I've read several options but nothing concrete. How about you guys? Gracias!
Yes please!
May I ask Bre, if you are okay with it, how your menstrual cycle is? I was doing intermittent fasting for a bit there and lost my period so I had to stop, just curious if it was just how I was going about it but I know some research shows that can happen so I wanted to know if you’ve experienced anything like that and how you feel about it
I’d love to see this. I can’t square your physique/ energy levels/ amount of exercise with the amount of protein I would have thought would be necessary. I am not doubting you, I’d just love to know how it’s done. Any chance you could work out the macronutrient values of your diet as part of the video please?
Yes please! I'd love to hear how you break your fast and how/what you eat during the eating window. Sidebar: while you may not do dinner get togethers anymore, lunch/brunch get togethers are way more fun anyway!
Thanks Bre and Flo, I have been vegan for 33 years...it saved my life...literally. I love all of the benefits and how it makes me feel. One secret is to learn to eat plant based without going to crazy with " copycat" meat recipes. I have learned to love the most simplistic foods...as they come. Thanks for all that you both do.xoxox, Lolly
absolutely agree, we cook very simple and it's been great for us. thanks for sharing! very inspiring ❤️
wow 33 years (now 34 or 35 b/c i am commenting over a yr later) but dang props to you, must have been a lot more challenging to stick to back then. Bravo. Plant power!
I know I’m two years late, but I have personally never understood the imitation meat thing given how processed it usually is. Just plain ole vegetables aren’t bad by themselves.
I came across your channel while looking for yoga videos. You have an amazing channel and your vibe is so beautiful. I have been plant based for 8 years and it has changed my life. It brought amazing clarity to my mind and energy to my body that I never imagined to be possible. I have never felt better at 48. Thank you🥰
Thank you for highlighting "Try and find what is best for you" rather than saying "We do this and you must do it too". Recently started to following you guys and enjoying it a lot!
I have been taking your classes since January 1 21, truly enjoy the yoga, even drink lime juice every morning, first thing in my body, but ive mostly noticed that i want the love and human connection that you two share. It is so beautiful. I long for that. I hope she is out there.
I really love you two. For years I've aspired to get to where you are. A simple, clean, beautiful way of living. You explain things beautifully and are a constant inspiration. Thank you, truly ❤️
thank you very much! it is a lot of work and trial and error and research but you will find your way if you continue to follow your heart ❤️
I have been doing daily HATHA YOGA BASTI KRIYA (yogic enemas), daily HATHA YOGA, SATTVIC DIET (yogi diet) for detoxing, fitness, health and wellness since 1995 when I was 13 years old.
I totally agree! I have been doing the same things. I am in my 40s and never feel better and energetic. I learn from myself that we honestly do not need much food. Our bodies are perfectly adaptable. If we eat dead food we feel dead and lethargic. Where else when I eat vegetables a specially lots of greens I feel full of energy and my mind is clear. I notice my concentration is sharp and I also realise that I am paying attention to small detail which before I wouldn’t bower, I guess. I live more in present moment. I never have breakfast ,I start my day with glass bottle of warm water with honey, followed by eating few dates and almonds. Then I have lots of green veg and rice, or sweet potatoes. Sometimes I have smoothies later on because I do not feel hungry. Thank you guys for sharing. ❤️🙏
Love your guys' channel and how you carry yourselves. Very appreciative of the knowldge you share for free. Currently on day 12 of your ignite challange and i feel great. Thanks guys
amazing, keep up the great work! thank you for your support 🙏
I decided to stop eating meat like one year and a bit ago, and I totally agree with you. I started seeing benefits since some days after. Now I am starting reducing the amount of food during dinner, but I’ve never thought about fasting. Yes, a lot of people ask you about the reason for doing it and so, but I decided as you mentioned to just answer that “cause I like to”. There is no need to justify our lifestyle.
Thank you guys so much again for you honest approach, always showing the great people that you both are. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us! Namaste 🙏🏻
thank you for the nice comment! we're glad you found this useful and you're looking more into fasting and listening to your body - we're proud of you ❤️
I love you two, your energy is so relaxing and calming and encouraging, I've been thinking about doing yoga for a long time and finally because of your videos Im actually doing it.
I was quite dismissive of yoga for the longest time, mostly because I sucked at it so bad, that is until I found this channel a few months ago. Now I do select videos at least 5-6 times a week whether that be stretching, vinyasa, breathe work, etc.
I’m a dentist and it’s very demanding on the mind and body, but you guys have been helping me make slow but major changes!
Thank you for being so down to earth and accessible!
Plant based yogi. Thats how I live, its great to see thats how you guys live as well. Through research and actual practice my girlfriend and I have both determined after 2 years this has changed our life for the better.
glad you found something that works well for you both 🙏
Emailed y’all asking for this type of video only yesterday and right when I’m deciding what to eat a notification pops up on my screen. Ill take it as a sign to start exploring my energy intake alongside my expenditure. Thank you as always for starting me on a new path!
Thanks for reaching out in advance and also for watching today 🙏🏽
really amazing to see how open minded you guys are. Some people are just demeaning other kinds of diet and only say that their kind of diet is the best! being lazy is not an option, do the research and experience it yourself! now that is inspiring guys! awesome work!
thank you for seeing that in our videos ❤️
So inspiring - I've been fasting for two years - my body&soul are very happy with it ☀️
U guys are so spaced out. It’s great! Respect.
You guys make such great points. I can't thank you enough for your generosity for sharing all of your ideas and practices for free. You both are truly wonderful people and your videos are inspirational and really encourage people to be the best they can be. Been following you for a couple years now, and although I don't have enough money to be a Patreon supporter, once I get a stable income I'd love to join your Patreon and dive all in to your lifestyle. Thank you both 🙏
This just accelerated/confirmed my interest in this channel. Thanks, plant based FTW
Thank you so much for sharing with me. I discovered your CZcams channel when I was stuck under house arrest in Morocco for 5 weeks because of covid. I did your daily video practice and it helped me stay healthy in my body and mind on a challenging situation. I am now home in Australia and I continue to follow your videos and practice every day. Thank you to you both. Your videos have made a significant difference to my life.
we're so glad to hear that! thank you so much for practicing with us 🙏🖤glad you made it back to home!
I love how you two look so close and loving towards each others 🥰
We need touch and to feel someone close 💖
So glad I found you two! My partner and I have been on a whole food PB diet for two years and feel and function so much better. Our blood work numbers are excellent and we dropped cholesterol meds. My hip flexors and lower back are soooo tight, but I'm so anxious to get into your program to loosen up and progress in a yoga practice. I've also been meditating daily for three years. Keep it going!
I have been eating plant based and intermittend fasting for quite some time. But I will never forget this in between time when I ate beef for 2 - 4 times a year. I ate a steak and it felt like taking a sleeping pill... I could hardly sit at the table because I got so tired. I mean really really tired. I have been feeling so much better with plant based food that I even became a nutritionist for vegan food. All the best you guys.
I love your energy! It's peaceful and calm and so friendly. You guys make me feel like home :) I have started to gradually move to plant-based food since August 2020 and I am very happy with that decision.
You both are so great! You have helped me start my journey for the 2nd half of my new life.
so great to hear, we feel honored ❤️
Sean Bates same!
I so much agree ,Bre and Flo are the real world magicians making transformations in real life so much more better and worth it at the same time .
Much love and mad respect to you guys . You guys are real love .❣️❣️🙏🏾

Hi Breathe and Flow, you beautiful souls! I just want to say what an inspiration you are to me and to many others. I did your Embark classes, and now I am on day 4 of Ignite. It's the first time ever doing yoga and so far it's been amazing, you both are wonderful teachers. I have definitely heard others talk about intermittent fasting, I think Sadhguru follows a similar plan. For myself, I've been a vegetarian since birth, however not solely plant based....Cheese is the big one..It's tough to give up. Anyways this video has definitely opened my eyes, I feel lethargic and devoid of energy quite often after I eat, which seems counter productive. I want to have more energy. I want balance and a positive mindset. I don't want food to be just a routine any more. I want it to be a special and sacred, and I need something to change here. Seems like intermittent fasting might play a part. Thank you again for your content. 🙏🏻🕉
thank you for sharing your story and for enjoying and watching this video! we suggest you look into the resources and documentaries we linked in the description 🙏 giving up something is just a lack of willpower and discipline and perhaps these documentaries make it easier for you in times where you feel tempted as they explain what for example cheese and dairy does to your body and environment and animals. just something good to be informed about, if you then actually make changes is up to you ❤️
Fasting has literally changed how I feel everyday. I find that I don’t ever “feel” hungry. I feel super light on my feet. I feel less lazy because my stomach is not constantly filled with food. Also, when I DO eat, food tastes amazing. Simple peanut butter and fruits taste WAY better than when I was use to eating huge meals filled with sugar and salt
I literally just asked myself what 20:4 fasting meant. Opened another meditation video from you guys and saw this one 😂. Synchronicity. I'm so interested about fasting. So many benefits and also helps breaking down the capitalist industry and anxiety lol. Definitely got inspired, will research 🥰 thank you 🙏🏼🌻💫
I loved this video. You both are so inspiring. I have been vegetarian for most of my life and in the past couple years have been eating plant based (dairy free) more and more. I've never practiced fasting, but I don't feel hungry in the morning so I don't eat. I naturally just eat one meal a day, usually. So I'm happy to see I'm not weird lol Thank you both so much for sharing with me. Namaste 🙏 💙
Thanks for this inspiring video. I started intermittent fasting this year and it's one of the best things I've done. I'm currently combining this with a low carb diet and I'm increasing my plant based protein intake as well. I feel much better than before. The food industry is crazy and we should not let it manipulate us
great to hear you're doing what works for you, thanks for sharing 🙏
I love this video. In the Bhakti /Sanatan Dharma tradition we fast every 11 day of the moon cycle known as Ekadasi. So I’ve been accustomed to this for about 6 years. It’s not only wonderful for the body it’s also amazing for the subtle body/consciousness. So many people in the West are so conditioned to this Western paradigm. We should look to the east. Where time isn’t linear or black and white. But cyclical.
Thank you for always sharing your work, lives and content. You both have opened an opportunity for me to travel down this avenue and I am a new adventurer of eating plant based for a week now and I feel fantastic! I know everyone is different, but I have finally found my happy. Keep up the great work...Namaste 🙏
Great to hear what works for you! Definitely check the resources from the description they might give some insights 🙏🏽
Exactly what I needed. Great video guys. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain your experience. Truly inspiring. Seriously. I went vegan 4.5 years ago. Best thing I’ve ever done. But even though all the foods I eat are healthy, I feel that I’m eating too much. Always been interested in fasting and have tried 1 and 3 days fasts but they were just one offs and I went back to eating 3 times a day. I’m definitely overeating and it doesn't feel right. Even though it's all healthy (fruits, veggies, nuts, grains). Crazy. Right? Was gonna clean my house this morning. Naaaa! Instead, I’ll be watching all the videos on fasting you’ve recommended and also doing my own research. Can’t wait for your ‘what I eat in a day’ video. Love you both!
we totally understand what you mean with overeating on healthy foods. this what is very common when you start fasting especially when you go to a 20/4 window it is easy to fast but difficult to not overeat. it took us a few months to figure that out as well and create the discipline. after a while you just feel so much better when fasting and you want that extreme focus, energy and being light which is when it gets easier to control overeating. ease into it an take your time. a first way to usually start is by doing 16/8 which is really only skipping breakfast and moving it to later in the morning. we still eat breakfast foods but at 11am. a 16/8 window is for example eating between 10am and 6pm, which is for most people very doable. thanks for watching 🙏 and THANK YOU for doing your own research ❤️
@@BreatheAndFlow Absolutely. My body. My temple. My research. :-) I’ve found a lot of very helpful websites about Intermittent Fasting. There’s one particular one I really like. Can I post the link here? Might be useful for others. Thought I’d ask before I do it as it’s your channel.
I’m on my 6th week of Intermittent Fasting (eating window 8 am - 12pm). I’m feeling AMMMAZING! So light. Not just in my body but also in my head. This might sound ridiculous but even just walking feels different. I mean like walking in the park. Hard to explain really. Mind blowing experience though!
thank you for your inspiration , its a real healthy things to think about how we
take food , which person are interested that you buying different foods .
Be independently and go your own way , thats perfect .
thanks
WONDERFUL VIDEO! Thank so much for sharing your way of eating and living and not "drilling" peoples minds with what is the best lifestyle. I really appreciated. I learned a lot from you guys.
thank you so much for the love and support ❤️
Your channel inspired me to start fasting and switch to a plant-based diet. I've never felt better in my life! Thank you both (:
thanks for making this video, always really informative to see what other people do.
I've been a pescetarian ( but like 90% vegetarian) for about a year and a half now ( i stopped eating meat because I had severe psoriasis ) now i dont take any medication for it anymore and the psoriasis is completely gone. never felt better :) then I started doing intermediate fasting about 2 months ago i eat from 1 till 8 and it works great for me :) i can highly reccomend it too people who havent tried it yet!
that's great to hear. fasting brings great results in healing psoriasis, glad it worked for you! consider watching the earthlings documentary to get to know where the fish is coming from which you're eating. it's very eye opening 🙏
Now that's what i call good practical advice. Thank you both
I’ve been vegan for 4 years now but for the past year I started a Whole Foods low fat high carb diet and juice fast once a month. I’m now in better shape now in my 30s then I was in my 20s.
"thanks for not saying my age." lmao, you both look like you're in your late twenties.
i can attest to IF bringing more energy back into your life and improving overall health. i'm transitioning back into 18/6. 70% plant based, vegetarian as well. it's really hard for me to eat enough calories to gain muscle, though. the hardest part for me, and probably the biggest reason i stopped fasting, is until a couple years ago i saw eating as an inherently social activity. hard breaking that mindset/pattern.
great video guys!
haha that is nice of you to say but we're definitely not in our late twenties anymore 😉we're positive you will find you way and also break out of the societal patterns that life is controlled by food. you eat and enjoy and then continue doing what you love ❤️since you're already 70% plant based and considering transitioning more we suggest to watch "earthlings documentary" as we have it linked in the description. it's good to be informed where all is coming from 🙏
❤Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤Love your video. Please put out more on the foods you eat. I have been doing this kind of eating for a while But my family often criticized me how I should eat “properly “no matter how much I tell them to leave me alone they are still persistent. I have forwarded your video to others because you explained it so well.
I appreciate verrrry much 🙏🏼💕😊😊🤗
I eat a whole food plant based diet as well. I feel so much better than I did when I was eating the SAD (standard American diet) The food is addicting and it’s designed that way with all the chemicals and sugar and “natural flavor” whatever that is.🤷🏽♀️ I usually do Intermittent fasting or OMAD (one meal a day) and I’m satisfied. Currently I’m on day 11 of a 30 day water fast, I felt the need to give my digestive system and body a break. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information! 🙏🏾❤️🙂
thanks so much for sharing this! all we have done is a 7 day fast, but we're also inspired to soon do a longer one for the same reasons you describe. we might couple that with staying in a meditation monastery and disconnecting from everything. we'll see 🙏 thanks for sharing your story, very inspiring ❤️
Thank you guys so much for your channel! Such a great energy! So far vegetarian (can't cut cheese :D love it too much for now) and doing 18/6 or 20/4 fasting for looong time now. Was worried that it's not good together with hours of training. Guess as long as you feel energetic and comf it's good for you. THANK you again for this vid, was nice to hear your opinion ;)
Thank you wonderful souls for sharing!
I heard a lot about the benefits of fasting. They have it in many religions. We used to fast for more than 18 hours every day for 50 days and stop eating meat and dairy products. I remember that I used to feel healthier and with a clearer mind. I don’t know what happened in the past few weeks but I am feeling more and more interested in plant based diet after I started following pick up limes! I tried few of her recipes and they were actually good. So there is a big possibility for me to adopt this diet but I want to make sure to do more research as you guys said in order to make the transition smoother and better. Thanks guys!
that is great to hear! questioning your current reality and wanting to move towards plant based foods is a sign (one of many) of ascension and awakening. so, you're right on track! keep following your heart and intuition ❤️
I started fasting 1 day a week on Monday last week😁keep ur fingers crossed🤞thank you for your great work and inspiration❤️hugs from Poland.
yess i agree 100%!! thank you guys much love
I totally agree that I feel more energetic, lighter and stronger when I go mainly vegetarian, and do Intermittent fasting. When I eat meats, processed foods, sugar heavy food, I go into a food coma and feel bloated, tired, sluggish. I know what is good for me, and I’m continuing to transition to meat-free and sugar-free.
I love you guys ! Thanks for another great video. Great to see the subscriber number keeps going up ! Take care 👍🏻
thank you ❤️
I am looking forward to the video about what you eat! I am a new subscriber and have enjoyed all of your content thus far. I loved this video about your way of life, and will continue to do my research on the topic because it seems like such a simple and soothing way of living.
that was so helpful and motivating! Im so glad for discovering your channel, it helps me a lot. Im looking forward to your "what we eat in a day" vibdeo. Have a wonderful day 🙏🏼💚
Thanks guys can't wait to explore all these cool lifestyles
I’ve been fasting periodically for years! I eat a decent diet with little to no processed foods(major contributor for the obesity problem) I believe!! I recently started eating within a 6 hour window but never eat past 6pm! I’m slowly cutting out dairy & meat! Thank you for your insight & experience!!
so great you do what works for you. if you're on the hunt for more information check the resources in our description 🙏 thank for informing yourself!
A day a week of fasting is awesome. Great for thinking/healing. Switched to plant based a few months ago and it's been way more enjoyable...
so great to hear you're feeling good with those changes 🙏
Love you guys! We are an american/German newly vegan couple as well😁. I recently had a baby at the beginning of Covid so gyms are closed and so happy I found your yoga.... Now to get hubby to try it too...
Well done guys !! your classes are my morning routine ❤
I guess is all depend on a lifestyle/sport/events everyone doing exactly what you say anyway!
Explore your body and listen to it 💪
peace🌍
absolutely 🙏thanks for watching!
I also do intermitten fasting (and once a week 48h) - brought a great change, 10/10 would recommend.
sounds amazing! glad it works well for you 🙏
Thank you for this, i started fasting and its magical feeling :) 🙏💞
Vegan power 🌱 Love you guys all the more for it! I’ve been vegan for 3 years now, but I’ll definitely try the intermittent fasting. Wish me luck!
thanks for sharing 🙏
You guys are rock!!! 🙏🏼✨
You guys are the real deal! Good video!
Thank you for sharing. I start doing intermittent fasting because of my best friend and I agree with all you guys are sharing on this video. I feel great since I start. I am also a vegetarian and both things go perfectly in my life style 🏝. Much love for both of you ❤️
so great to hear! glad you're feeling good 🙏
Thanks Bre, Flo for sharing. It´s always a pleasure to see u guys again. Peace & good vibes from Radyogis Latam. All the best 🙏
thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you so much for this, Bre and Flo. I love and appreciate how willing you are to share your knowledge and experience, including resources people can look into for further research. I have been vegan for over a decade and just started trying intermittent fasting, thanks to you! It's working great for my yoga practice, in order to practice on an empty stomach. However, I've noticed I'm cramming all three meals into a six-hour window or eating two huge meals to "store up" for the fasting period. How do you avoid overeating when doing intermittent fasting? How do I know how many calories I *actually* need? Thanks in advance to anyone who can chime in on this! (I know I have to listen to my body/do more investigation of the science, but I hope this will be a fruitful jumping off point. Thanks!)
Thanks guys! Great sharing. I tell my friends watch the covid 19 lbs (no exercise eating comfort food and junk food). Once that weight goes on (lbs) it will be difficult to FLATTEN THE CURVE.
haha that is very funny 😉 thanks for watching and taking from this video what you wish to take with you ❤️
Greetings guys, your videos are excellent, full of energy and harmony! 🇦🇷🇦🇷👍👍
Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate you took the time to watch 🖤
i have been doing IF for 3yrs now.. been strong, and felt healthy..its good to you also practice IF. Love from Nepal.
glad you do what works for you 🖤🙏
I’ve been doing 17/7 IF(also plant based)for several years. I’m intrigued by your shorter window. In general how many calories do you think you get during your 4 hr window? I struggle with getting all my nutrients in at one meal but I’d like to explore how you are eating more. It is so reaffirming to see someone as fit, healthy and glowing as you two promoting the lifestyle that I’ve embraced. Of course, I am many years your senior and as a menopausal lady continue my quest to keep my body youthful and trim. Thanks for being great role models for us all!!
we don't know how many calories but all we can say it is enough for us. the body will tell you, listen to it and not to some numbers you add up 🙏
Great content...thanks!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️love it !!!
Interesting info thankyou.
I put on weight and lack energy if I eat a plant based diet exclusively, I experimented for the last decade with it. My wife does very well on a plant based diet.
I fast 18 hours a day my wife does not fast as it caused problems with her menstrual cycle.
I eat plant based 5 days a week and the other days I eat eggs from my chickens plus fish and liver. My wife eats plant based only
Really like this video.
Be you, explore your body & mind and find what works for you.
Sadly society needs to put people in a box to understand, in reality we are all so varied.
If you ever visit the Peak District, UK you are welcome here to drink tea & coffee. I can't promise I won't be eating, but I won't judge 🤣
💜Love your channel!!!💜
Y'all are so cool!
I'd love to see more recipes from the foods you eat. I love trying new things
Thank you ❤️ namaste 🙏
I appreciate you two :)
I love this videos about yoga philosophy, I think they are very interesting, I wish you would do more vlogs about life and yoga and phulosophy
we will do more in the future for sure 🖤
Please do a video about how this way of eating is aligning with you energetically ❤️🙏🏼
I have planned out my eating for September. I used to enjoy fasting but then I dropped it, because of peer pressure and I totally respect you guys. I will let you know how I get on at the end of September.
Sorry to hear that!
@@BreatheAndFlow However I will let you know how I get on by the end of September with my new found vigour to fast - thank you again for inspiring me in this practise.
Great and fascinating info! Bre, how are you doing while pregnant with fasting? I'm curious as to how a woman may feel with this lifestyle while creating a life. I recently had my second baby and I was encouraged to eat and drink a ton after giving birth to keep my milk supply up. I wonder how a woman goes through the stages of prenatal and postpartum with fasting and being vegan. Would love to hear about your unique experience (as everyone is different and has different needs) 😊 P.S. I love this channel so much!! Your yoga practice has helped me heal my body from crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis!! I am forever grateful 🙏
I hear what you're saying and I'm not against how you eat, aside from the nutritional deficiencies that can accompany it. I respect how anyone chooses to live their life as long as it doesn't harm themselves or others. My journey has led me to try, literally, every single food lifestyle change ever invented. I've had massive health issues my whole life (autoimmune diseases, many respiratory infections, tons of antibiotics, system wide inflammation, multiple gut issues, RA, OA, etc) and I've seen SO~ many doctors, specialists, and nutritionists. I'm seeing an RA specialist currently. I've had two colonoscopies and I'm only 38. One of the GI specialists I went to years ago (who also performed a very painful colonoscopy on me) suggested I go vegetarian, but to still incorporate fish. Back then, I wasn't as knowledgeable about nutrition, health, and the human body as I am today, so I took his word for it, considering I was already eating a vegetarian diet beforehand. This should have been a red flag, but hindsight is 20/20. Before I went vegetarian (and at one point vegan, then pescatarian(o)(e)), I ate a pretty standard diet. Not entirely healthy, but also not unhealthy. Never ate junk food and quit soft drinks in my early twenties. My first colonoscopy turned out normal during that time.
It was only after cutting out meat that I started to feel a lot sicker. It didn't have anything to do with the Hex affect, since I didn't feel the typical "flu-like symptoms" that usually accompany die-off and adjustment. Nothing in my life changed aside from my diet. I was desperate to try any diet to help me heal from my many ailments. And, trust me when I say, I did a TON of research on every side of the diet spectrum. Reading a few vegan books written by doctors was what pushed me to try it. Looking back, I should have done more research. One of the books was aimed at causing fear and alarm to anyone who ate meat. It went into detail about our teeth, digestive tract, etc and how it compared to other meat eating animals. I bought into it all. Which is why I didn't understand why I was feeling worse on a diet that's touted to be the best for humans.
So I decided to get way more specific about researching. I decided to look up lifestyle changes that have helped people with autoimmune diseases. And that's when I found my answer. Reintroducing animal products was kinda hard for me since I'd been strictly vegetarian for months, but I wanted to try out what's been working for people like me. I saw changes rather quickly. More energy, my immune response was normalizing (blood tests confirmed), I slept better, my mind was clearer, and I felt like I was finally healing. When I'm off the lifestyle change, I notice it right away. Gut issues come back, I feel sluggish, etc. That's how I know it works for me. I've done a TON of research in the meantime, as well. Mind/body/heart connections, mental health, hormone imbalances, various other eating lifestyles (one I plan on trying soon), various healing modalities, and a slew of other things. I love knowledge. It's powerful. I've learned so much and I'll never stop learning more.
Again, though, I hear what you're saying and I respect your choices. I hope you're supplementing with what you're not getting from plants alone. However, veganism isn't for everyone, like it wasn't for me. It can be quite harmful to people who don't do well on it. Many of the things people eat when they're vegan/vegetarian do cause inflammation and hormone imbalances. I didn't know this till I did research on the science behind it. It's true that people 100% need to eat way more veggies and some fruit. That's a given. However, I implore people to look at all sides of the spectrum when it comes to human health. Try out different lifestyle changes. Don't stick to just one until you've tried them all and found one that heals you. ALL natural food is healing (aside from allergies to certain ones, and intolerances, though those can be healed). When you see food as the enemy, your body will react thusly.
When picking a lifestyle, it 100% MUST be healing for you. It has to touch all bases of importance: mind, body, soul. Never let anyone tell you what's right/wrong for your body, except doctors, but even then, do your research on what they say/recommend. You're in charge of your health. Treat yourself kindly.
Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
thank you for sharing all of this and getting it out of your body. we're happy that you found something, finally that works for you. we absolutely agree that what you eat is only a small part of overall health. it goes hand in hand with quality sleep and low stress, which is a huge one for people to deal with. and of course a daily movement, breathwork and meditation practice with is why we believe that yoga and the teachings in combination with a good diet and fasting (our opinion) works so well. again, we're happy you're feeling great now. just in case you have not watched the documentaries from our description, we highly suggest them, perhaps it goes well with our findings so far. much love to you ❤️
Your both great excellent
A gentle way into fasting is to do a fruit fast in the morning. Juicy fruit only until lunch, and only if you are genuinely hungry..
Yesterday when I watched yoga for beginners I was thinking what is your diet...And now I see this video🙂
Wow !!!! I like soooo much what you do guys !!!! I want to end up on a similar diet, I've read a book about Hippocrates Diet by Ann Wingmore and I m amazed by how the food works in our bodies and how little food we actually need ! I m thrilled about how the body heals itself and with a help of the right food can thrive.... I also wish (for myself) to find a boyfriend to support my crazy ideas, I m already in vegan RAW diet and feel the exact same when friends inviting me over for pizza and movie , dinner, birthdays or new year's eve celebrations hahaha... I wish for you to shine always this beauty, shooting great inspiration of a new way of living ! Thank you !
Thank you so much for the nice comment. You will find a match for you when you stop looking and once you are completely happy with just yourself. True happiness from within! Much love 🖤
This is a topic I'm really interested in. Especially from you guys, because you state that you feel really healthy and the fact that you are both strong people, in a that way consolidates your statement. I am vegetarian (not vegan) for 8 or 9 years now and in multiple phases I had big iron deficiency. Greens turned out to be not enough or not easy to assimilate so I had to take supplements for some time. It would be interesting to know about your source of proteins and in what amount you consume them per day too. Lastly, as a vegan I imagine B12 would be a thing to check. Have you ever had a blood test to check it ? It would be very interesting to know this stuff and get them medically validated.
Oh, and I forgot. Did Bre change anything during her pregnancy?
I LOVE intermittent fasting! So energizing
great it works well for you 🙏
you guys are amazing :) sending love your way :)
thank you, sending love to your too, always 🖤
You guys are the best!
you are! ✌️
Hi! Thanks for sharing your own experience. I have recently become curious about intermittent fasting and wondering if it’s right for me. Anyways, I have a purely curious question for you - when you get invited to a friend’s special occasion (wedding, etc.), do you break your fast during that event or what do you do in such cases?
Very happy I found your channel it’s got me into yoga and breathing and meditation I would love to know if you guys have cold showers or follow wim hof at all
Love this channel and love meat as well :)
Thank you for this topic. I will explore it as it sounds interesting
thanks for doing your own research 🙏🖤
I am glad to report that I started intermittent fasting on 15 June 2020, my last meal was on 14 June at 19h00, on 15 June I only had 2 cups of coffee ( no milk with 2.5g sugar). I drank water throughout until my meal at 19h00.
I will do this every mondays for 3 months...will give feedback on 15 Aug. Thanks guys🙇🏾♀️❤🇿🇦
One meal a day for over 5 years now. People who eat the standard American diet and are eating from the time they wake up to right before going to bed can not fathom this way of eating. But it works for me...
This is exactly what I was interested in
🙏🏽
Thank you for this video :) love your content. Stoked to hear you are vegan too.
I'm in recovery from anorexia at the moment strongly discouraged by my Dr to do any fasting. Wondered what your thoughts would be for someone in this situation? Got out of hospital a couple of weeks ago and sticking to a meal plan at home. Restriction of any kind can be dicey for me. I need to consume 3000-4000cals per day at the moment to slowly gain, so need more hours in the day to get this amount in. Keeping up the yoga so I get stronger as I gain, though generally encouraged at the moment to rest so I don't put my heart at risk. Hope I get to a stronger healthier point soon - you two are really inspiring.
thank you for sharing your story! since you're already seeing a doctor we suggest you follow his/her advice for now until you have a green light to listen to your body again (once that is re-established) and then continue with what feels right. you're already doing a lot to reduce suffering on this planet by eating plant based, and we're proud of you for that. don't cause more suffering to you by overthinking what you eat and wanting to be somewhere else than you are now. it will all come with time and you got this - much love ❤️
Hi Micah,
First, congratulations on making the decision to recover your health. Facing recovery from an eating disorder can seem like an uphill battle. I know because I've also struggled with anorexia, and I understand what you're dealing with. I'm a man, by the way, in case we have that in common :).
Second, in case it wasn't clear already, it's *very* important that you don't experiment with any form of fasting right now. Stick to your calorie plan, and focus on gaining! Fasting may have benefits, but not for you, and certainly not in this moment. The healthiest thing you can do is to continue to rebuild your body, restore organ reserves, and lower your stress levels. That means eating when you want, and sometimes when you don't, and relaxing (ideally eliminating) all rules related to food and exercise.
Good luck! Recovery is hard work, but it gets easier over time. If you feel like talking, let me know I'd be glad to chat.
hi ~here is the huge fan from Beijing lol I follow the videos and practice everyday and I just want to thank both of you .
