Gees, why is so many concerned about the 1300 calories - look at her, she's a tiny little asian girl. You can moderate it, for your own preferences, if you want to. You're probably not in lack of food, if you're watcing this. If you want to add 100-200 calories more a day, then DO it. Beacause you can. She made an effort making this video, and you're sitting here posting negative comments. Did she kill your grandma? Did she ate a newborn? No. She just made an inspirational video. Get over yourselves.
Haha well said!! I thrive on just 1400 calories a day and losing weight thanks to a vegan lifestyle and whole plant based foods :)! Everyone is different when it comes to how many calories but we definitely should all be eating whole plant based foods! :)
Too funny @sheila Camilla Nielsen, I was just commenting today to my friends how I've always been on a strict 1200 cal/day diet to lose and maintain. I started eating a WFPB diet and did Joanna's meal planning and I'm LOSING more weight while eating more calories!!! Almost 300 more calories/day!!! It's all about the quality, not the quantity when it comes to calories I guess. Lol
THANK YOU. I'm about a foot taller than her and you know what I do? I JUST EAT MORE. It's not her job to perfectly tailor it to everyone's size and body type, and I'd bet if this was a 2,000 calorie video there would be people bitching it was too much food and "Oh you'll get fat!" I've even seen people accusing her of promoting anorexia!
I notice people complaining about the low calories but this is a meal plan to loose weight. She never said that this is her everyday meal plan. Also Jo did say to adjust the meals for your calorie intake so if it's too low add more veggie/fruit portions. I think she is also pushing the protein because it helps kick up your bodies ability to loose weight and to help maintain muscle. People fast & cleanse all the time in an attempt to loose weight only to gain it back when they begin eating again. This meal plan can be a stepping stone to help be aware of food choices and portion sizes. I had a friend in jr high who was put on a 1500 calorie diet and her lunch was one slice of white bread with a slice of lunch meat and carrot sticks! As "small" as these meals are at least they are all pretty nutrient dense and food is being taken in every 3 hours. Once you up you activity level and eat whole foods you metabolize food quicker and can increase portion sizes without so easily gaining weight. This seems to be aimed at vegans who consume more packaged/fast vegan foods and need that inspiration to loose weight & eat whole food meals that aren't time consuming.
Not sure what us wrong with some of these commenters. I'm guessing they just don't comprehend the point of the video. In any case, great ideas Joanna! Thank you!
I love this channel. For the first time easy. realistic and practical tips and most of all, I don't have to starve myself. Congratulations. I am trying this right now, only I ate breakfast with mango, not strawberries. Subscribed and LOVE IT. Thank you :)
I'm vegetarian and have been on a weight loss journey for 2 years now, I still have about 15-20 lbs to lose. I LOVE your channel! Thank you for all of the vegetarian and vegan meal ideas, workouts, information, and inspiration!
I like these videos because you give a lot of alternatives in case the ingredient is not available to the viewer. Sometimes there are certain things that are not sold in the supermarket, or they're too expensive, or maybe there's an allergy, or you just simply don't like it! It's good to have other options, thank you for showing us the other options :)
Where have you been all my life!!?? I am a vegetarian and desperately searching for these simple, easy types of meals packed with protein and clean! Thank you, thank you! PLease make more videos like this.
Protein is in everything. It not that vital that vegans go the extra mile for protein. I mean, protein is important to everyone. But I don't consciously try to include protein in my diet, and when I got my blood work back recently I was in the normal range for protein in my blood (I'm vegan).
Destiny Martin Idk I've never measured and don't know how... but I know there are vegan body builders. For that I know you do need to actively seek out proteins just like an omni would bodybuilding.
Exactly, I just wonder if the muscle mass of vegans is lesser than meat eaters. So do vegans have to eat more protein based foods like nuts, tofu, beans? I am not vegan so I am a not sure.
I really appreciate all your advice. I am an African American woman and I weigh 256lbs. and have lost 14lbs. so far and I want to lose Atleasts 100lbs. I know I am at the right place. Thankyou.
This is so helpful! I've been trying to go vegetarian and lose weight for literally 4 years and believe it or not I have so much trouble finding all my questions. In your simple video I can see how I will get a balanced diet :) thank you! 👏👏💪
Kids loved the Oaty Peanut Butter Energy Bar!!! We had fun making it too, DELICIOUS... FYI... The other breakfast video that included the Egg Muffins was a huge SUCCESS too. I made some for dinner and to have for breakfast tomorrow. My son begged me for one because it looked so good, instead of PIZZA!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm starting my Vegan journey late in my life. You have been a joy to watch. I have learned so much from you . Thank you for your website and your hard work and support !
I love your videos!! I'm a flight attendant and would love if you could make a high protein video for people on the go like me. Meals that can last a few days while I'm flying. :) thanks for all your great videos.
If you have more vegan ideas, I'd love them haha! I love the way you set up your videos and have the ingredients listed with their quantities. So if you have more vegan ideas, please share them. You're the only one I have found that I can actually watch the videos and take notes
Love oatmeal for breakfast! I eat it all the time. I use one whole banana sliced and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon as well as almond milk. It tastes really sweet but with no added sugar! :)
Commander Bat check the added sugar in the almond milk. 4g = 1 teaspoon. No joke. Ever since I discovered the hidden sugars in packaged/processed foods, I've cut down a lot on it.
Thank you Joanna I love your videos. Can you make more of these? I’m Ezra and I’m trying to recover from an eating disorder. My eating disorder is really bad and I need to lose a lot of weight. I would prefer Asian meals but having your guidance would be amazing and mean the world to me. Thanks for all the videos you have already put out there I will def be trying all your vegan ones that have meal plans. I hope to hear back from you soon
Some pre-packaged foods can be good. Microwavable steamed brown rice and/or other wholegrains (with no additives) and tins of low sodium fish are staples for me when I'm low on time. There are also packs of vegetable portions with nothing added to them that can also steam in the microwave. I also like quick oats, as long as it's just oats or oats and other wholegrains. I think people are more likely to eat healthy if it's convenient. I think the key is to just be sensible and only buy pre-packaged foods that are still pretty much exactly what they were before they were packaged. Salt and sugars and things being ground up so fine that there is no longer any good healthy fibre is probably the main worry with pre-packaged foods. They definitely can pack a lot of junk in there, but it's not hard to look at the back of the pack and see if it's something sensible to eat or not.
This is great! I am 15 and am deciding to become a vegan after being a vegetarian for a year. I was confused on what to eat and this really helped! Thank you so much Joanna!!:)
Thanks for the meal plan. I typically eat about 5-12 servings of fruit everyday coz I love it so so so much... 2 a day is such a measly portion for me!!
You can use vegenaise if you can't find soy yougrt. It pretty much has the same flavor. Vegenaise is a vegan mayo. It says so on the back on the recipe list. This alll looks so delicious! Thank you!
Love love love your video and am mouthwatering right now :-). I like your smooth voice too, very calming. Thank you for your great job! Hugs from France, Joanna!
Love these and so easy. Added walnuts, coconut chips and ground flax! I don't like using peanut but we had. I think a better option is almond butter. Thx for the idea
Line Broe I have a question. Didn't freelee used to be forcefully 100 percent raw ???? I haven't watched her videos in over a year and recently I saw that she seems to be promoting eating cooked foods like pasta. I swear I once watched a video where she ate some cooked beans and claimed that it made her sick and bloated. What happened?
MsMuahXoXo Freelee the banana girl doesn't look nearly as healthy or vibrant as Joanna Soe. Not only is Joanna smarter, physically superior and attractive, but seems a whole lot more mentally calmer and stable as well - this is because she doesn't have to continually defend her diet because it will actually work - the freelee / durianrider camp know that their diet is ridiculous and deficient and aggressively have to defend it.
MsMuahXoXo Actually, come to think of, who actually cares what FreeLee the banana girl thinks - I mean seriously, who denoted her the god of diets ?, and why are some people so scared about “offending” her by disagreeing with her point of view, I mean, seriously people - she is just a human being, with a particular radical diet that works for a small % of the population, end of story.
Charlie X of course having a calorie deficit will cause weight loss, duh... it's not about the weight, it's about healing the body from all the chemicals that we ingested throughout the years... and starving ourselves with diets that are not sustainable and caused us amazing mental disruptions. With all of the fitness and health advice that is going around, of course someone like freelee who is promoting the exact opposite will be a bit defensive, but i see it as passion, because it works well for the long term... try eating high carbs raw for a few weeks and see how you feel... it's amazing how your entire being just changes :)
This is my opinion having a background Sports and Health Science. I am not really into counting calories, this feel monotonous (for me and people I have worked with) and not necessary. If however you are someone that feels the need to count by all means do what feels natural. Here is a simple meal plan that I use and recommened to many clients and friends I have worked with, feel free to alter the fruits or veggies to your liking, this is simply what I enjoyed. For breakfast: 1/2 Cooked Quinoa, add blueberries, 1/4 almonds, flax seeds, raisens and sprinkle Cinnamon. Snack 1: Blend Almond Milk, banana, spirulina, kale and hemp seeds. Easy Herbal smoothie I also enjoy an orange along with my smoothie. For lunch 1/2 Cooked Quinoa, strawberries, walnuts, grapes and Cinnamon Snack 2 Blend Almond Milk, banana, baby spinach, chia seeds and dark leafy greens. I also enjoy a cut up honey crisp apple along with my smoothie. For Dinner I enjoy a warm soup (I live in MN), if you want the actual step-by-step recipe I can provide. However the soup consist of; Broccoli, carrots, oinons, almond milk, water, diced red potatoes and a pinch of salt and pepper. I use oragnic blue corn tortilla chips as scoops to dip in. Hope this helps :)!
I lovee your food videos.. They help a lot especially since I do not know how to cook. Your meals are simple and I love that :))) Keep up the good work & I am a new subscriber ..
I really do enjoy the exercise aspect of your channel and you also have a very pleasant voice to listen to. I never agree with your nutritional videos because I am vegan but this was disappointing as well. I don't think this was a good representation of a Good or Healthy vegan diet.
Amanda Curry What is there to disagree with, other than there not being enough greens, and she focuses too much on protein. Other than that, nothing wrong with the food she made here.
This was really great-- I've been trying to add more protein to my diet and that quinoa and garbanzo bean salad is going to be perfect; I love both of those things!
can you please do a full vegetarian meal plan for a healthy diet - not specifically to loose or gain weight. something illustrating what veggies, fruits and carbs should be included in each meal to get the all the nutrient necessary to keep your body organs functioning the way they should be. Thanks Much !
Love this video! Really liked the way you prepared it on camera so I looks very doable for us. Thanks! I just took the vegan pledge so I will be trying these recipes!;)
Something very important that you can see in her videos is portion control. Althought people say you can eat as much as you want on a vegan diet, it's not fully true. The problem is basically what we eat but also how much we eat. If you are currently trying to lose weight and don't see any progress then give calorie counting a try. It either shows you how many calories unhealthy food has or it shows you how little you have eaten a day and that you can still eat some veggies at the end of the day. So either way, you can learn something about your eating habits you maybe didn't know yet. Just don't stress yourself too much about it and you will be fine :)
I don't think I can thank you enough for doing this video for us. Is this for just one person? Can I just double it to make it for two people? When it calls for almond milk, can I just use water? Thank you again for this video, very helpful.
I did a protein bar without any syrup or honey just peanut butter, oats and used cashews and mixed coco powder with sugar and water for a chocolate topping(I only used less than a spoonful of sugar so I don't feel to guilty about the chocolate.) IT IS AMAZING AHH. totally going to try what she did to just out of syrup atm xD
I was just thinking that if someone wanted to use Joanna's prework out drink without caffeine they could use something like Dandytea. It's really rich, and nutty. Would also be great at night after a workout on a cold evening. Thanks, Joanna, I love your video, and your sweet presentation.
I started to cut down eating meat specially pork,beef and chicken because of bloating problem and I gain weight of 20 lbs. My pants so tight and arm more fats. So , last March 2018 . I started to change my eating habits. I eat and I follow the per serving amount each meal and snack and I do not have problem of starving. This video is a sort of guidelines .follow your BMI just because We have different height and Weight. then you know how much calories a day you need.:)
How do you not understand this, Joanna? You think you're relieving your addiction of junk food? You aren't. You're still addicted. You're just moving your addiction to something that would make you happy, only because you're transforming your body to what society wants it to be. You just want to fit in.
Still, she's addicted to this. She snaking personal videos on what she eats everyday it's pretty much all she thinks about. The only reason why girls go on that diet is to be thin. that's the only reason. She just says it makes you energized because , well, looking pretty makes you more confident and she's trying to persuade others to join the diet too so that they THINK it's not to please society but it is.
***** So..I know that eating food keeps you healthy and stuff, but I tried being on a diet. I ate and I lost weight, but I was miserable because I was forcing myself not to eat unhealthy foods the entire time. I don't know what a "good soul" even feels like. i mean, what is it exactly. I don't really change if I eat healthy foods.
Avagantamos You've misunderstood the basic meaning of the words you're using. A person cannot be "addicted" to a virtuous course of action. By its nature, addiction is destructive. Unless you're implying that living her life in a way that makes her feel happy, fulfilled and enriched is destructive - that's perverse.
Pete Farrugia Well, addiction can go many ways. Ultimately, you can potentially say all Americans are addicted to consumerism. My point was, is she really happy? What if she wasn't on her diet? She's basing her emotions and feelings off of food, is what I'm trying to get across. Now, I don't know her. She could be a really sweet girl who's personality is always joyful. But you don't know her either, so my point is based off of opinion and is still valid.
me as a vegetarian i like this meal its good for lossing weight and very easy just be careful with peanut butter make sure its fat free or sugar free or you can also replace it for hummus with carrots
Hello Joanne ;; I m Joanne Chan from Malaysia. Like your video so much , keep up the good job. !!! I m 158 cm - 74 kg ..BMI 35-38 !!!! 15 -18 kg overweight ,trying out your program . Hope to see some result I m a vegetarian . Hope to hear from you . All the best to you :))
Thank you for sharing a sample of your diet. Personally I felt the menu was a little boring (in terms of ingredient choices), 2 oatmeal foods in one day is kind of much for me as well, but you do hit the mark nutritionally. The "cole slaw" like dish looks great.
I tried ur penut butter and honey energy bar and it tastes fabulous its sooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy that I cant control myself. I want to eat the whole bowl
Thank you! this is an awesome video im just making those peanut butter energy bar things now they look real good :) I got afew new ideas out of this thanks!!
