Not thinking about food is the greatest freedom ever.
Go tell Gaza this you little minded person who is exaggerating
Listening to your soothing voice is like a therapy for anxiety.
Despite not being vegan I absolutely think that your mental approach to keto/low carb is the BEST on the internet anywhere. Every time you talk about food freedom I just want to clap 👏
Keto helped me escape the duality of full and hungry also and experience…inner peace in this aspect of my life and others
Blue zones eat about 85% calories from carbs. Got to have my beans and bake my own bread (freeze bread makes resitance starch 35% less glycemic index). As long as you are not insulin resistant you can eat like people did in the 60's. I'm 150 lbs, vegan, high starch eater and can't imagine what keto-vegan would be like.
I've been through the same with my body all my life....cravings, stuffing myself, overexercising to make up, just so unhealthy. Now, in midlife, I've finally got balance. It's come from only eating whole foods, which I prepare at home every day. I finally feel fully nourished. 🙂
Its impossible to be in ketosis if you are eating only plants, now other stupid vegans will spread this misinformation. Why do you do that?
You are such a plant-based pioneer!!
I tried to be high carb vegan for decades. I was always hungry and never achieved a level of satiety (fullness). After I tried vegan keto and am never hungry all the time. What is significant about this is that with vegan keto, you are not grazing, binging or mindlessly eating all the time.
As a Type 2 diabetic I was given Dr Neal Barnard's book on reversing diabetes. It turned me vegan but didn't really help my blood sugars. I realised, after a year or so that I was eating way too many carbs (pulses/pasta/sweet potatoes/bread). Then I found you, Heavenly Fan! and my bloods have gone back to normal, I've never felt better but I also eat delicious food and actually don't feel restricted. Thank you :)
I am a thin vegan for EONS but yeah, I'm not sure HCLF is going to fix my blood sugar issue. Even Dr. Barnard once told me to switch to Eco Atkins. But, in the past, if I cut carbs too much, I lose all energy, my insomnia gets worse, etc. It's frustrating. I'm not diabetic, but usually in the pre-diabetic range and there is a lot of diabetes in my family on mom's side.
@@Atheria444 try carb cycling. As women we need more carbs than men to help with hormones. And keto will make you tired in the first couple of weeks as your body transitions, this is normal. The first few days are the hardest so cut back from 100 g if it's tough. Drink more water and add electrolytes to get through it
To be honest, I do the best on a "The Zone" type diet (but vegan version). I need a pretty even mix of carbs, protein, and fat. I'm eating a lunch of some sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, green beans, carrots, and 1/4 of peanut butter right now and KNOW I'll feel really good for hours. @@kitxxxxxxx
Except high-carbohydrate low-fat diets leads to lower HbA1c than high-fat diets; in other words, you weren't eating too much carbohydrate, you were still eating too much fat.
*_«Surprisingly, given the enthusiasm for LCHF diets in the media and from some professional commentators, we found that lower carbohydrate intake was associated with significantly greater odds of T2DM and higher HbA1c concentration. Higher adherence to conventional dietary recommendations (basing meals on starchy carbohydrates, lower fat and saturated fat contents, eating more fruits and vegetables) was associated with lower HbA1c concentration.»_*
@@Atheria444:
A high-carbohydrate low-fat diet will absolutely fix all your blood sugar issues. You just need to make sure your fat intake is really low, and that you eat a lot of fully fresh and ripe fruit rather than starches (fructose helps to metabolize glucose without releasing insulin, and has been known to cure diabetes for over a century).
".... its about being free from the mental and physical struggles that we have with food that takes us away from of our true goals in life..."
So thankful I found you again. I tried doing keto, helped my anxiety but I hated eating animals to do it. I tried a whole foods plant based diet and with my carb addiction I would go out of control. Then i saw your video in my feed and was like duh, best of both worlds, thank you 💚. I will be binging on your content.
This woman launched an incredible weight loss on the vegan keto diet. I felt great. I fell off of it and am now getting back on. I'm 2 days in...already in ketosis... and feeling better than I have felt in years. I am focused in a way that I was really missing.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about food issues that you have described. The frustration of feeling too full for the natural rhythm of our body. Where we don't feel like we're starving. Versus feeling like we're so full it's ridiculous thank you so much. Thank you for the information you've shared on your channel I will be watching
This is SO helpful. I'd been Vegan Keto for years with the same results but recently fell off. Now not only have I gained significant weight but I'm back to the constant cravings, overeating large amounts even of salads and still wanting more. I'm waking up hungry, going to bed hungry and I feel like I've lost the peace and control as well as joy and freedom I once experienced. I'm trying to get back on track but it feels SO much harder now. ☹
You might also want to look into the Glucose Goddess.
That's because you've been depriving yourself for years while on keto.
Keto is bad
I am a newbie in keto and this is what I am afraid of - I saw my friend experiencing it (like the craving for carbs has possessed her). so still on the fence if I am doing the right thing.
@@the_specialista6319 No, actually keto reduced my cravings and helped control my food addiction in which I'd lost over 100 lbs. My problem was in expeeiencing a major life event and loss, I went back to my destructive habits and suffered more. Now, however I am getting back on track with my health and recieving support for my grief.
I have been on Clean/Healthy Keto for over 4 years. It has been absolutely amazing. I am healthier than I have ever been and I will never go back to a sugar based diet. I've recently been feeling like I want to reduce , or eliminate, animal products from my diet. You have inspired me to do at least 1 year of Vegan Keto. If it works for me I will stay on it for 4 years to compare it to my Clean Keto data.
Also, you're channel is so genuine and honest. Thank you for doing this. I just sent this video to my daughter. 🤞🏽💜🙏🏽
It would be interesting to follow your comparison
I’m not Keto, but I am vegan. I’ve tried several of your recipes, and enjoyed them, except for the bagels which disintegrated in the pot. I totally relate to what you’re saying about either feeling full (and guilty that I’ve overeaten) or feeling like I need to eat. Thank God for temperance and self control.
For years I've been making your recipes; just today I found this vid, on the keto process itself. It's great to hear how you experience this way of eating. Like others here, I've also missing meals when not feeling hungry. At first I thought I'd just forgotten what I'd eaten (which was a bit worrying!!); then that feeling of not being shackled by food took over, and I fell in love with ketogenic nutrition. More power to you for all that you do!
I was hearing myself though not my voice. I so agree with you, you don't feel hungry anymore. Low Carb, is not a diet, it is, eating with empathy, things that are good for the body. I have to say, thank you, for giving simple yet delicious recipes.
I had wandered back to carbs a few months ago...gluten free, but still carbs, and as usual, I ended up with uncontrollable cravings. I'm now back on keto - and it didn't take long for my brain and stomach to feel at peace. It's nice to be reminded that I'm made different from other people, and so what...I'm not the only one, and if this is all I have, I lucked out. Thank you for these wonderful and inspiring videos. They really help.
Great video Fan. I started doing keto and intermittent fasting about 2 years ago. I was very strict when I first started because I wanted to get results as fast as possible to keep me motivated. After reaching my goal and losing fifty pounds in six months I decided that it would be fine to eat whatever I want from time to time. I’m happy to say that this less restrictive approach is still working well for me and I’ve kept the weight off.
I'm not vegetarian, vegan in any form, but I've found this video excellent in helping me to understand why my body constantly wanted me to eat, especially chocolate and sweet things. Thank you for this, and your recipes!
I could eat your keto vegan lasagna every day! I feel best on low amounts of simple carbs, high protein, moderate good fats. Warm weather helps me accomplish more easily; I just don't want lots of food. I'm also more able to eat well when I'm emotionally healthy and I'm working to get back to that! Good to hear your report! Thank you!
I cannot believe this video because it is sooooo dead on correct. This is EXACTLY how I feel and EXACTLY what I have experienced with my low carb way of life. This is the first time I have heard ANYONE explain this process so perfectly. So logical and so helpful!! I hope that this message gets to many people because it contains such great advice and such an amazing life experience.Thank you so much for this important message. I just subbed and am a bit upset that I didn't find you sooner !🤨Thank goodness for Highfalutin Low Carb, he sent me here. And he was right, you do have a beautiful voice! But I am here now and I can't wait to binge watch your videos. Once again, Thank you and Thank you !!
Isn’t it interesting how you experience “hunger” when you’re eating truly low-carb?! I honestly didn’t verbalize it this way- you have found the words for it. It’s this exact phenomenon that might be the motivating factor that causes people to become experimental cooks! I’ve seen this happen to people who’ve never done more than microwave frozen food, but on low carb, begin cooking complete meals and desserts.
So good to listen to your story!! Intuitively eating is so so important.. with lots of love and kindness!! Thank you for all that you do!! Your struggle, my struggle.. learning and being in touch with our bodies!! 💙🌻🙏
Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability. Your story is so inspiring! I was keto for 3 years before my wedding, and low carb/“Atkins” for years before that. In the year+ since the wedding I’ve struggled to find inspiration to feel better and look after myself. I miss how I feel when I’m on keto. Your video has inspired me to focus my attention back on my relationship with food. Thank you 🙏🏻
I live in France and vegan keto for about 10 years. A recent trip back to my home town in the UK made me feel very sad. I love my birthplace and the people. What can we do about the obesity in the UK? Everyone complains about waiting lists to see a general practitioner on local television. It’s a huge subject of discussion and yet diet seems to be the last thing people talk about. Take care .
Im French living in Grenoble, and there’s so much bread and pizza here, I want to go vegan keto what do you order in restos here ?
Il faut éduquer les enfants et les parents. Combattre les petits déjeuners hyper sucré et la nourriture hyper transformé..
Prévenir les parents sur l'effet du sucre sur le cerveau de leurs enfants.
Éducation et prévention !
Investir dans les cantines scolaires. Je sais pas pour les anglais mais en France on a pas de budget.. pour nourrir nos enfants correctement ! Les professeurs ramènent leur repas maison car ils savent que c'est mauvais.. ce n'est pas normal.
Tous les enfants devrait savoir lire une étiquette nutritionnelle.. ça devrait être le minimum.
Because people aren't educated with the truth on nutrition.
Drs are pushing very outdated information on nutrition here.
People still think saturated fat is the devil.
What did you eat for protein ?
This is so relatable. I am always starving or stuffed. Thanks for sharing this so thoughtfully x
Thank you so much for this video ! I really needed something like that ... I am happy for you !
Thank you so much for this. I am still a work in progress, but I really appreciated all the encouragement you offered in this video.
You are so right about the freedom from thinking or all that anxiety inducing food logging. When I started vegetarian keto…I kept it very simple and stripped down. That is where most of my weight loss came from quickly. Then I started doing a lot of baking and things went sideways with a stall. If you keep it simple 90% of the time and then treat yourself with home made keto baked goods or just small bite sized pieces on the daily it’s amazing how good you feel. Not hungry and constantly obsessing over food. So weird when I am on sugar (went off Keto for a whileeee but back now!) sugar makes me kinda kooky tbh! Gets me very moody, depressed and kind of obsessive! I feel soooo great on Keto honestly. Love your videos and soothing voice. Your food is wholesome and creative. Thank you so very much for a great 5 years! 💖
Thanks for sharing. Glad you´re back.
And, thank you so much for this video - and all your others that I have watched. Somehow, I haven’t heard from you for a while - and I am subscribed, I think.
Thank you - and good health and strength and happiness to all!
We are all so lucky- we have choices!!! And we have information to inform those choices!
Your explanation was spot on, thank you for taking time to do this video. I agree about the discovery about how relaxing and freeing it is. It was especially helpful to me who 'lived to eat' and food was always at the top of my list until keto came along and what a surprise it was.
Hearing you is like hearing myself, in that my approach to gluten-free/keto is exactly the same. Getting used to living it is complicated enough, it seems to me, without weighing and counting and calculating and analyzing every morsel. It's exactly 50 days of living this new life for me, and have to say, going back is out of the question. Really, I'm having the time of my life! The weight loss is slow, but the pounds are coming off with no other effort than staying well clear of excess carbs. Thanks for the chat!
Thank you sooooo much, Fan, this was very interesting and soooo true !!! 👍👍👍
Love your recipes and your voice ❤❤!!
Sending you a BIG BIG HUG and nice greetings from Germany,
Ela 🤗
This feeling to be never hungry again was for me the most important point in this way of diet. My whole life I had to cut my food other wise I would gain weight. I‘m sportive and slim, but as a little child I was a little thicker and all the adults around me give me treats to show their love, because they had no time for me. I was raised up and lived during the week the first three years of my life in a foster family because my parents both had to work to survive. My foster parents lost their own baby and gave me all their love and more they had to me. Now I‘m 56 and first time in life I‘m not battling with my habits to eat. I‘m feeling so free and happy.
Thanks for your channel. You give me so much daily inspiration.
Thank you for sharing this. I have been living with disordered eating for most of my life. Keto has been incredibly helpful to me. I learned so much about my body and my food needs. I love your recipes. They help me with some of my cravings and are absolutely delish! And your voice and demeanor are so soothing!
Can’t Thank you are enough for all of your help! I dropped my A1C to 5.5 from 6.1 thanks to you! You’re amazing 🤩
I'm 62 and vegan for 7 years after several periods of vegetarianism. This is a great video. Thank you so much.
I could listen to you all day. Wisdom and soothing voice, great combo.
I really enjoy hearing you. Many of them Resonate with me. I hope you keep enjoying sharing with us
You give voice to many of the things I’ve experienced, so thank you for that.
Greetings Heavenly Fan. You are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I LOVE ALL of yours recipes. I have learnt so much about myself through you, your recipes and all your (insights) knowledge. Keep bringing more healthy Keto foods to the whole world. And, by the way...your voice is so soothing, as well as your beautiful spirit and personality. Giving much thanks for you and your many delicious food 🥰
You put some great thoughts into words that most everyone can identify with and understand. I am not vegetarian but can gain much from this video. I'm a "fan".
Thankyou I needed to hear this right now as I've been struggling to get motivated to let go of carbs...like you I try to find ways out and sabotage myself... I will listen to this regularly. ❤
OMG, I’m so thankful I found your channel. I’m new to IF and Vegan and have been struggling so much with food choices!!!! I’m so happy I found you, thank you for your video’s!!
So recognisable, i also struggled with food choices! I wanted to eat and live vegan, but there are a lot of carbs in it. A ketogenic eatpattern works for me, i don't have a blowed belly when i eat keto. But al that meat, that's the reason that i stopped with it. So than i am eating keto (meat) and than vegan, and than keto,vegan,keto,vegan .....😂. For me is Vegan Keto the best way to eat. I tried it once, but i followed a program, which who used tons of hempseeds 😂, i only live on hempseeds and other kind of seeds. For me it was to boring. So i stopped with it. But now i try it again, but on a different way then the first one. But to get there, i'm eating vegetarian in the first place. For me it's a little bit easier to finish with a 100% vegan keto lifestyle / diet finally.
Very informative and encouraging. I found your channel a couple of years ago and have tried many of your recipes for my daughter who has coeliacs and chooses veganism. Some very tasty food and at last learned how to cook with tofu. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this, Fan! I hate that constant hunger thing! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
You are so lovely. Thanks for sharing your experience. It's helpful in ways you can't tell.
I am at the 3 month stage on Keto and have lost lots of weight and have also been amazed by that feeling that my body is in balance and don’t need to eat for lengthy periods. I also follow your approach of not doing precise portion measurements and tend to eat when my body tells me to, on average 1 or 2 meals per day. So everything you have said in this video rings true to me. You have a wonderful way of explaining things and teaching great recipes. It makes me feel calm, happy and stress free. Thank you so much.
You helped me so so much! I have been in this food/body struggle it's seems my whole life! You put it so well in this video. Thank you! I plan to get back on course after seeing this. \o/
You look SOOO good, and healthy and awake and stunning. Your skin is so beautiful. I have started Keto Vegan for few weeks, intuitively and seeing changes, not omitting the nutrients and vitamins required. Your video is so informative, helpful and inspiring. Thank you !
Wow Fan, did I need to hear this! You so clearly and concisely described what I have been experiencing! I have been on a carb binge lately and was really busy beating myself up. I am just like you, I get claustrophobic thinking that I have to do it "forever". Thank you for giving me permission for occasional detours, as long as I get back on the keto journey. I am crying with relief. Thank you, thank you!
I resemble that remark.... I sometimes feel this stage of my spiritual journey is about not giving head space to judgy thoughts about myself. I'm finding I'm rejecting the "I could have done that better" playlist in favor of the "I like myself and I give myself permission to be ME" one.
I ate Oreos last night.
They were too sweet now that I'm not eating much sugar. I'm glad I ate them, but I'm especially glad because they weren't all that great, and I probably won't want them again.
Excellent presentation! Before keto/low carb, I struggled the same as you. Keto has helped me so much. Thank you!
Thank you for telling us your experience.. ❤️
I have been on a keto diet since july 2018 (but I'm not vegan) and I'm very happy with it.. like you said, not feeling constantly hungry is a fantastic "side effect" of keto! I don't weigh food so it's never been a stressful thing for me.. I was prediabetic before, but now my blood work is normal (and I lost 20 kilos) so I'm very happy with my way of eating.
Plan "B" as you call it is really Plan "A" as far as human physiology is concerned. Fat adaptation is normal for humans. Eating carbs all day long is the cause of a host of maladies and diseases. I've always appreciated your ability to verbalize the subjective aspects of diet and nutrition. I love these videos. They are very helpful! Thanks!
As someone who has had food issues all across the spectrum and also done a ton of personal experimentation to try to heal the issues, I really, really identify with all you've done here. Your channel is truly helpful and your whole manner is very soothing on complicated confusing and oftentimes very frustrating overbearing issues we face with food ❤
That was REALLY well said!! Good job articulating something that is so complex and difficult to explain, but you sure did it!! It happens that you and I are just alike on all points you spoke about, so to hear you articulate that was really illuminating and clarifying and concise and I sure do thank you for that ♥️also I really like your recipes! 👍 Like you said not everyone is alike but you and I are, and anyone who has experienced these kind of issues will benefit from what you've said. I feel very proud of you🙏 Thank you so much♥️
You put into words what I have experienced being on Keto for not quite a year (Mid-May for me). Thank you!
This is the first time I've heard someone understand what I've been through. Amazing.
I love your voice and the depth and eloquence of the topic of mastering self.❤❤❤
Fan, I admire your self reflection and direct honesty. Thank you for your wonderful recipes. I have Celiac Disease and your recipes offer options that make me smile. You don't have to but you do. I need to eat meat for my body but your recipes vegan recipes are nutrient dense and the combination works well for me. I have blood mutations that won't allow me to be vegan but your recipes are a delicious and nutritious addition to the meat in my diet. Thank you for sharing. Hugs!
I felt like that also. Thank you do much for sharing .❤
Sweet, Thoughtful Fan ... I think I will probably watch or listen to this video every day for a while and then once a week thereafter for the rest of my life.
It isn't enough to simply 'know' this information ~ I think the emotion & vulnerability in your words adds so much more to 'what' you've said that I want to (probably 'need' to) hear it often and gradually internalize it.
Going through living a Keto lifestyle has consumed a lot of my brain activity these past few years and listening to how you approach Keto just makes way more sense.
Absolutely the single BEST KETO VIDEO I've ever watched. Thank you.
Xxx
Thank you for shaing . It is totally true in my experience too and lovely to hear! I love the mental charity keto gives me and that is a missive motivation for me to stay with it and started to develop a new way of living that is with no resistance and guilt. I leared in this process how to listen to my body, it is fascinating ❤
its been 4 years for me. ur recipes were big help as i was learning. thx for this review. very informative
Excellent video!!
Thank you for sharing your journey! Powerful insights!! 😊
Thank you I needed to hear this. Very articulate 😊
Really grateful I listened to this. It’s helped me to not feel guilty when I have an occasional splurge. You are right - it’s like I can just switch back again with ease.
Superb explanation for people considering this way of eating....making it such a personal experience ! Thank you
Fan, thanks so much for your honesty and insights... hearing your life story, gives clarity to mine, thank you
Congratulations! And I love your recipes!
This was fascinating and you are so eloquent!
This entire lifestyle is a decision and commitment. So long as you keep in mind that the results appear slowly over time, (no instant gratification) then it becomes easier to begin and continue. To also not give up if you fail one day…. Our body is wonderfully made by God. It’s quite impressive to watch yourself and witness what good care of oneself leads to. Glad your doing so well, and feeling healthy. Appreciate your videos much, thank you.
Hello Heavenly Fan! Love your Recipes and all your insight, thank you so much
Thank you Fan. I love your approach to eating 💕
I'm predibetic, lyme disease, osteoarthritis possibly underlying auto immune disease waiting to see rheumatologist and 17 stone because my joints are so painful I gained weight. I cut down on carbs and feel the benefits but I know that the only way to shift the weight and feel better is keto. This seemed quite an overwhelming task but then I found your channel this weekend. The recipes look so delicious and are doable and won't feel like im missing out. I'm going to write a list of ingredients to start. 💐💗
So glad you found your way here. Food should be joyous and healing. I hope my recipes will help you with your journey to happiness and wellbeing x
Hello, Fan Wow your journey is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing good recipes.
"Your body will guide you back, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO LISTEN," is the main takeaway for me.
I’ve watched many of your videos and enjoyed them a lot, this is the first time I’ve seen this particular one and I have to say THANK YOU!!! I am not vegan nor vegetarian but I enjoy a lot of your recipes. The way you describe your body reaction and how you learned to trust its messages is exactly how I am starting to feel. Just like you, I tend to turn and run if I feel like I’m being forced to do something. I cut all the carbs and sugar that were slowly killing my body and mind. I didn’t measure, but made the commitment of giving my body what it needed. I am barely 6 months into it but feel pretty darn good about my self and the results I’m seeing. Thank you for all the great advice and food options. Congratulations on your success and continued journey.
Thank you for this video and all your delicious recipes! I totally understood what you meant when you said you didn’t know anything except hunger and feeling full to the point of sick. That was me for most of my life. I started Keto a couple years ago and lost 80 pounds. Since then I have gone vegan. Part of my issue was that I knew wheat did things to my brain but I also suffered from massive GI issues and was fearful of going vegan. I still have some Gi issues but feel vegan is my preferred way to eat so I’m sticking with it. Since going vegan I’ve gained 10 pounds but I wasn’t doing vegan keto because I didn’t think it was possible. You have given me renewed determination to make it work. Thank you so much! 🤗
Your wisdom is priceless...much ❤️ luv
This video was such a pleasure to listen to: thank you!
I related to all of it. Especially the ease with which the body can remind us we are better off with very few carbs when we stray a little and indulge. After experiencing the clarity and clean, smooth energy of ketosis, it becomes so easy to recognize what is not great about burning carbs, and that recognition becomes all the motivation that is needed. All the best, Fan!
Well said x
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences with Keto❤
Good to see you!
Thank you so much for all the recipes you have given us. I have become allergic to meat and eggs. I think it was from tick bites here in Australia. It left me with a fear of what to eat. I knew I had to be vegan and I have celiac disease so have always eaten gluten free. But now I had to find recipes that were vegan and gluten free. You have given me this wonderful net to fall into.
I love listening to your calm voice❤
Thanks, this deeper level reflection than you get in most 'results' videos has been really helpful for me. I've also struggled with feeling trapped by dietary choice, and feeling limited enough as a vegetarian in very meat-eating Umbria, Italy. But I suffer badly from auto immune psoriatic arthritis, and I've been thinking I should try giving up gluten and lactose, and stumbled across your video... I love the idea of becoming attuned to my body, and having a more constant, happy way of eating. I am convinced to give this a try!
My doctor suggested I see a nutritionist to help me have a healthy relationship with food. What you described is what I've been trying to explain to my doctor. Thank you, I feel free this very moment! ❤🤗🤗🤗❤
Wonderful video. I can relate to what you’re saying. Thank you for sharing. Very much appreciated. ❤
Fantastic content sharing! Thank you Fan!
Love the approach and thought process on working with your own body’s signals to find what works best for your own body. For myself going from high carb to low carb eating overnight didn’t end up being suitable for me. My goal isn’t necessarily going keto but it is definitely a goal to eat less carbs then I was eating. I’ve struggled with processing foods for as long as I can remember. I went gluten free probably about ten years ago. It’s been about 5-6 years since going vegan. Each of those changes really helped me feel better as I didn’t experience so much pain after eating. I’ve been high carb since going vegan with the last two weeks being more mindful of the carbs I’m eating. I was logging my food for the first four days trying to stay under a certain number and had to roll that back when my body felt unwell going from one extreme to another. I’m now working on finding the right balance for my body but not being rigid with guidelines. I’m not there yet but slowly I know I’ll find what works for me. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and openness you provide on your channel. The recipes are great but the energy and calmness you have with yourself on your journey is truly am inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
I am going to start with a comment .. "do this forever, get out" .. oh I laughed and thought that's the reason I will never remarry LOL.
Okay, kidding aside, Fan this was one of your BEST annual reviews of your health insights. So practical and refreshing. I was also a life-long vegetarian and deviated here 'n here over the years. However, as healthy as I thought being a vegetarian was, I was never felt 'settled' in my body and it took me years to do something about it. Although I craved and ate vegetarian foods. I was very overweight and bloated but I was eating healthy, right? Not so fast, sista. I have a (visual and gag reflex) aversion to meats, eggs and shellfish but you know, I tip-toed into low carb several years ago and I knew I was on to something. I never did keto full-on but low-carb was speaking to me. While I struggled with the proteins, I was feeling better and I ended up losing a massive amount of weight to the point where my body felt right and settled. Still, my eyes craved vegetarianism but my body craved low carb. You are right - your body will bring you back to where it feels right. Learning to listen is the key even though we may be kicking 'n screaming our way through the very foods that are harming us, we know better. I am very emotionally/physically content on low carb. I sleep better, my joints feel good and my mood is better. I think like you where I cannot have my life burdened with a poor eating plan as it will never help in the long run.
It is good to see you again on here, your following appreciates your recipes and your wisdom 💖
Great points you had thank you so much for sharing the video 🙏❤
I made home made with fillet chicken pieces , dip pieces in beaten egg white Dip in almond meal crumbs flavoured with paprika powder and garlic powder , tiny spray of olive oil and cook at 160 20 minutes in air fryer,
Thank you for sharing and speaking of being free of guilt.
Be blessed.
Hello Havenly Fan, Thank you so much for all this wonderful info. and delicious recipes!! I am so happy and feel grateful to find your videos:) I recently got interested in Keto diet and IF and started practicing this for about half a month. I have been trying several of your recipes. They perfectly fit the cooking style that I am looking for which is easy, fun, simple (sort of "the less is more style" )! I practiced this Keto diet really not for weight loss at all, but simply for long-term well-being, so your videos/info. are what I really need! I really appreciate that you are so generous, caring, and sincere in sharing your life/diet journey! Best Wishes!
It fills me with joy to hear your story Cecilia. I'm humbled that my content is of help to your journey. Thank you so much for your support. With love x
Perfect description of keto’s benefits
Thank you for this. I have often tried your recipes and they always turn out great. I loved listening to this video. I am T2D and because of keto I am diet controlled. My weight loss has been slow and I have never understood this, I follow keto and intermittent fasting. I am trying to keep motivated as my health is good, if not my weight 😂
So interesting! Thank you for your insights 🙂
