It took me 3 years. I'm a 50 year old woman. 5'6". I did a total lifestyle change! Plant based diet. Less fast food and processed food. 8 hours sleep each night. Drink more water. Exercise everyday for 1 hour. I was 211 lbs. Now I'm 140 lbs. It can be done.

You are an inspiration . I am same height and down from 225 to 209 and counting. May God continue to move you to help others🌺

Congrats!!! I started at 240lbs and weighed in at 155lbs last week. I'm 5'6" and my goal is 140. My Driver's License photo looks like an entirely different person. It took me years to lose the weight, keep it off, and eat in a balance way. I eat protein, carbs, and healthy fat(avocado, olive oil) for meal. Fruit everyday, 2-3 pieces. I do not deprived myself and learning that good is nutrition not emotional crutches helped a lot.

From tomorrow I'm starting.. Everythings ready. Was goimg through youtube and out of nowhere got this video. Wish me best.

You are so beautiful and your glow is amazing!!!! I’ve been plant based for 5 months now. I’ve lost 40 lbs so far. It’s quite amazing

You look great, I am 62, I am 5 2 weigh 120 as well however I focus on protein and lift heavy weights, it took me 3 months to loose 25 lbs

I’m 62 and vegan for 7 years. I recently began my raw food journey. I will caution younger vegans with this piece of advice. As you age, your metabolism will decrease. Later in your life you may find that you do not burn off starches as well as you did in your younger years. This is especially true for women. Therefore, be prepared to cut back on starches as you age. Replace starches with more green leafy vegetables and fruit for bulk. PS also, try not to concentrate on the need to feel full. As Americans we often feel that we must feel full or stuffed or satiated before we stop eating. Vegans often seek starches as replacements for that full feeling meat gives. But it is not necessary to feel full every time one eats. Rather, concentrate on giving the body the nutrition it needs. The brain takes 20 minutes to register fullness. But people are steadily eating during that time. By the one gets the signal to stop eating, one has already overeaten

I'm 5'61/2" and I'm currently at 194. I got your book at Barnes and Noble and I'm so excited for this new journey!

I have shared your video with my friends and family so many times you’ve been a great inspiration for me I have lost 14 pounds in one month

She looks amazing! Also love that she didn’t deprive herself to lose weight.

I am 51. I was 189. 5’0. A car crash set me back for yrs. Nothing was working. I went back to what knew . The healthy choices that you made and make now. I did and do the same meals or similar. Over less than a year. I’ve lost 50lbs. I just saw your video today. All I have to say is. Keep this up. Good job. Especially as you age. Especially when you are 51. There’s were no answers to helping me after the car crash. By taking this into my own hands all naturally like you. I would tell anyone to do what we have in our choices. Whole Foods all the way! You can still fit lean meats too. Well done mamma!

This method is real and safe, my skin change a lot. I had skin allergies and rash and all disappear.

Im 24, 5'1 and 208 lbs (was 212lbs at one point) ... Its been a struggle for real to lose weight. This is the heaviest ive been in my life. Hope to see 160lbs again at least.

Thanks for sharing on RU-vid. I am 66 years, four months and 20 days as of my comments. I am 145.8 pounds as of 10-03-2023. I have been eating fatty, sugary, salty, unhealthy foods for most of my life. I chose to eat more healthy less weight/inches gaining foods. Better late than never. Thanks for reading my comments. Smiles

I lost 85lbs in 6 months and that’s when I started going plant based back in 2020! Damn these meals are looking great and even you are 😏😅

You inspire me! I'm down 20 pounds to 230 and my goal is 167...I have heart disease and diabetes. Your plan is so doable and I appreciate your story so much!

Yep, I started a whole food plant based diet July 1st. Drop over 20lbs. I never felt so good.

I was the same Weight same height and took me a year and a half to loose about 70+ lbs. same methods. Great Advice! ❤️ there’s not magic to it, this is the way. It’s a beautiful healthy journey.

I just started this journey and so far I’ve lost 8 lbs in one month without ever feeling hungry or deprived. You are one of my main resources when it comes to recipes and inspiration. I’m so excited to learn as much as possible and transform not just my health but my family’s as well. Thank you!

You started out with a long term fast that jumped start the reset of taste, appetite and weight loss- then you started McDougles diet - good stuff I saw in some of your first videos. Can you talk about the long term fast

Your the 2nd person I seen using this method. I was hesitant and bought the book "the starch solution." I think I will try this method because I'm 29, 5'4 170lbs and I've struggled losing weight my entire life. Even keto only got me so far. Thank you for sharing! You have inspired me to try this method! 😊

I don't care what anyone says, I don't ever want to look this thin, but 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 to you Plantiful Kiki. I've followed you for a while and you are someone that motivates me..

I’m 5’1 and 190 something pounds. My goal is to get to 130 by next spring or summer. I wanna get into eating plant based meals.

Girl I’m 5’4 and also my heaviest was 194! I’m 160 at the moment and actually like the way i look, but know i could still feel better physically. I’m really encouraged to see you get to 120 it makes me feel like i can too

Okay but I’m 5’3 and 195 and REALLY needed this. Thank you!!

1 year, 39 pounds. Plant based diet and walking! ❤ Thanks for your support 🙏 Love your videos and recipes!

Please link to ALL the recipes for the dishes you show in this one. OMG!! and thank you! They look amazing. :)

I love how you are talking about being a healthy weight and not under weight

You were pretty before and you’re pretty now.

Very inspirational I lost 20lbs then got upset over ppls miscommunication n started eating everything in sight Have calmed down n would love t try your program Thank you 😊

Thanks for posting this! We are the same height and I’ve gotten down to 131, but I’m struggling to stay dedicated to lose a little more. You are motivation!

You have changed my life, Kiki! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Mine is a lot like yours but I am not down to a healthy weight just yet. Your “quick easy dinner” type content helped me so much. To everyone reading this thinking about changing your lifestyle, it is so worth it! You can do it!

Love the whole plant-based, low fat recipes in order to maintain a healthy weight. Thanks for the inspiration! 🥦🍍🥭🍊🍎🥔🌽🥗🍚

Love it!!! I went 100% plant based for serious health reasons. All medical issues have been permanently resolved and now zero prescriptions in my house. Never looked back.

So there is still hope for me. Your transformation is mind blowing. You look great .

Plant based for the win!! You lose weight and become healthier. Win-win 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

It took me two years since my metabolism isn't as fast as it used to be. I was overweight since I was a kid. I tried every weight loss plan. I would lose weight and gain it back. I love eating like this. I make great recipes I create myself. Potatoes was my best friend. I was 204 lbs. I'm 140 lbs. Since I'm 5' 2" and 140 is too much for me. I just eat when I'm hungry and stop when I had enough. I walked for 30 mins most of the time. I love fabulous 50s workouts and hip hop workout with Phil. The old tao bao videos on RU-vid. I bought exercise equipment. Plus I don't think I would have lost as much if it wasn't for intermittent fasting.

Wow. That’s some fast weight loss. I’m losing too, but slower, because I’m not completely plant-based. But halfway there is better than none.

Best and most inspiring short video I’ve seen in awhile. So very encouraging to me. Thanks for sharing! Subscribing!

Beautiful wisdom 😀 Blessed family 🙏

This is very good advice. Too bad people are so into keto/low carb these days.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I ask you, as a mother, to please dont lose more. Your perfect. YOU DID IT!!

Wow you are gorgeous. Congratulations in your weight loss. God Bless.

I’m getting your books today! It’s my birthday and this is my gift to myself

Beautiful before and now!!!! Your weight loss would be the sprinkles on the cake now!!! You go girl 💪🏽🙌🏽👏🏽

Ladies take notes 📝 weight definitely matters when it comes to looking good as a female. Don’t cut corners and risk getting BBL surgeries that could kill you verses taking the healthy route.

I’d been consistently gaining weight as a vegan - I first went vegan at 17 weighing 140 and at my heaviest just a couple months ago I weighed 190. Now I’m on a weight loss journey (still veg ofc) but I’m actually going to the gym (focused on running and heavy lifting) and have stopped overeating so the weight is coming off so fast and I can already see a change in my body. So I’m realizing my problem was not the type of foods I was eating, but rather the large quantity and lack of exercise. It’s important to remember that a plant-based diet is not guaranteed to make you lose weight - you still have to be on a calorie deficit. It’s just easier to lose weight as a vegan because plants have less calories than meat.

Yes I will be taking my time and learning to cook low fat and healthier

Girl you didn’t even look big oh my goodness 😍 your body looked perfect then and it looks good now as well

Can you please do a video on reset how you fasted first. People should know how you successfully got through your reset phase to get where you are now! It’s so important ♥️I love your content. You look amazing and I remember when you talk about eating nuts and how the weight can creep up if your not watching how many nuts you eat☺️you are a great success story and I admire all you have and will continue to accomplish 🎉💐💐💐💐♥️♥️♥️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Go on sister! The plant based diet is THE WAY to go!

Congratulations!! You look gorgeous and healthy❤️ way to go girl!!

*What's your secret on not getting any loose skins or stretch marks? I'm 5'8 male with 130kgs but my ideal weight is 71kgs. Planning to lose weight but scared of getting loose skins and stretch marks on the process. Thanks... 🥰*

I’m 5’2 180 pounds with the goal of getting back to 145. I’ve increased my water & homemade whole meals.. I finally have energy without using caffeine & I’m way less irritable! Yesterday I gave myself a pass for fast food & I noticed a HUGE difference in my mood - sleepy, irritated, lazy.. I never wanna eat that mess again!

You look great. Kudos!

I almost cried watching this you are so beautiful I’m 180 and trying to get down to 140 and I admire how amazingly HEALTHY you look fruits and veggies is the way yall

All your food looks so good! That “grilled cheese” sandwich or whatever that was looks good. What was that and can we find it on your website? 😍

It's not eating plant based, it's the calorie deficit that makes you lose weight, and you can do it even by being omnivorous.

This is great since it’s not perpetuating unhealthy weight loss… I’ve seen videos of people loosing that much weight for a few months!! 14 months seems like a good steady time line to loose weight. I’m the opposite, I grew up slim and I could eat anything I wanted and not gain weight, now that I hit my early 40’s I notice my metabolism slowing down. I do eat healthy majority of the time… I’m trying plant based now with the occasional meats when I’m with relatives.

Incredible job. Such a great approach to weight loss & sustainability. And! Healing your body for a healthier body for life not just to lose weight at the cost of your health long term like keto & carnivore. The long term damage for ppl on that diet short & long term are heartbreaking for them in the future. It’s not spoken about enough. Long term low fat plant based is incredible for us. This is different than junk food vegan diet.

Sooo inspiring I'm 5'4 and am at my heaviest in looking into this program for weight loss

You were pretty at 194 too! But so happy you are healthy now amazing thanks for sharing

Plant based I can tell by your skin! And you look great! 🤩 Thank you for these recipes!!

I'm 5'6" and I lost 65ish pounds in 3months eating plant based. Start weight 270ish and down to low 200s. Kept it off over the last year, but changing my diet to more meat didn't help with losing more. Here's to spending 2024 losing the rest 👍🏼

It doesn’t matter what you eat what matters in the mindset and what you tell your body everyday because it’s listening. This is an example of how being good and nice to yourself can benefit you.

I’m 5’4” and currently 201 lbs. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me hope that it’s possible! ❤

For anyone attempting to loose weight, it's important to know that fat is stored in adipose tissues found in muscles and other body organs so Please go easy on yourself, start with less meat intake, like 2-3times per week, substitute with eggs, tofu, chicken and other lighter proteins, satisfy your cravings once in a while till you can control your sugar/oil intake Drink lots of water, it's easier to excrete water from our body than starchy or high carb foods Eat smaller portions after working out/exercising or larger portions before exercising. Practice breathing and stretching exercises before, during and after jogging, you don't necessarily need to hit the gym and use the equipments till you feel like you've built your strength Take over the counter painkillers and ointments for sore joints, supplements for energy and not energy drinks, Lastly, know that loosing weight is a process and it takes a while, stay dedicated and you'll see minor improvements like 1kg weight losses per week, consistency with exercise would yield major improvements....

Your journey is so inspirational! 🙏🏾

Thank you so much for the inspiration! I want to learn how to cook more with mushrooms. I would greatly appreciate knowing what neutral- nude lipstick you use. It is very flattering. Thank you so much!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY WITH US VIEWERS!

You look amazing! You also look happy like you feel amazing which is the most important thing.

Yes I can attest to this! In 2014 I took a blood type test and found that I am AB negative and the best diet for me was a vegan diet. Decided to try for 6 weeks along with my workout sessions of 4-5 days/week at the gym (cardio mostly and weights for about 30 minutes) Went raw the first week and felt incredible and noticed that I loved how I didn't have to count calories which I HATE. Second week I started my HCLF/gluten free cooked/raw mixed vegan and with recipes of "normal" foods I loved and I was hooked! In 6 weeks I was down 20 lbs, looked INCREDIBLE and felt even better. Only needed about 4 hours of sleep a night and energy I could give the whole neighborhood. I always say that there are 8 billion people on earth, no 1 thing works for everyone (hubs, being blood type O, does very well on a meat-eating warrier's diet) but this did wonders for me. Give it a try!

How do you not have loose skin? You look divine!

This gives me hope Thank you so much for sharing

Hi! Can you please talk about loose skin??? It seems like you have none?

I get so irritated when they say you cant lose weight when you get older, or it is more difficult. I think it has to do with the food, not the age. You want to lose fat, then make your body burn it instead of burning your meal. You want to keep muscle, then eat your protein portions. You want to have no disease, eat clean, cut sugar, and make sure to work yourself into fasting to the 18hr mark for autophagy. You are doing great at finding what works for you. Excellent job. 😊

yesssss love 😍😍😇 your before is my now and honestly i love you for the motivation ! i needed to see this; as i’m at the gym brainstorming life style changes

Thank you for addressing this. It gives me hope!

Fat isn’t the enemy, sugar is.

Such a great story and it goes to show you don't need meat to enjoy life there is soo many other alternatives and options which are all full of flavour

You look amazing. Did you have extra skin after losing weight? And if you did, did you have to have surgery to get your skin tighter? You don’t look like you have any excess skin!

You did amazing and forget all the haters! They’re so mad they can’t do what you did and continue to do!!

Thanks much!!! Btw, you look fantastic!!!🔥

She’s absolutely amazing! The whole journey and results amazing! 🎉 congrats 🎉 Me? I’m on carnivore to beat diabetes and it’s working We are unique individuals do wat works for you 🙏

You are looking amazing!

Im so happy I found you…I am just beginning plant based and it’s not easy!! I am very similar-about 180 and 5’4”. But I will not give up!!

You look amazing wow I admire you.

You look amazing!! I have gained so much weight and I know it’s because of my poor eating habits. Your videos are wonderful and very inspiring.

Congratulations 👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is so impressive. I’m having the hardest time going plant based. I’m just not creative in the kitchen, I don’t have time for recipes, and I get really tired of the same 4 meals over and over. Any tips on like, easy vegan meals? Ones I can throw together like I’d throw a chicken breast and potatoes in the oven and be done?

Hi Kiki! I’ve been following you since your IG debut 2+ years ago. I’ve read The Starch Solution, and ate this way for several months with success. However, after experiencing some health issues not related to eating, I added meat and dairy back into my diet and honestly, I feel terrible. I have researched many types of diets and it seems so many of the health gurus push keto. I don’t want to diet or eat just to lose weight. I am more concerned with nourishment and replacing the vitamins and minerals that I’m lacking. I know you’ve discussed the health issues you had prior to your wfpb method of eating. May I ask...have your hormones/thyroid, liver enzymes, and your adrenals been checked since following the lifestyle you currently do? Some doctors frown on low fat and plant based lifestyles stating we need the nutrients from animals. I’m asking because I would like to return to starch based, but worry that I’ll be depleted in necessary nutrients and my thyroid, liver, and adrenals will be affected. Thank you in advance for responding.

Thank you sis!!! SO CLEAR and easy to see!!

You look fantastic! The food looks absolutely delicious!🩷🩷🩷

I’m sorry congrats but it’s just so hard to believe that ppl genuinely lose the weight by eating right and exercising without having some sort of weight loss surgery now days. It’s hard to know what’s real and what’s not.

Oh 120lbs feels like a dream. I always feel so proud of people that discipline themselves to get the lbs off. I'll get there. One day.

You should create a meal idea weight loss cook book👍

I lost in 7 months about 33 pounds but I compered myself to others who lost in 7 months 70 pounds and I got discouraged. I eat less and started to exercise and gain back 5 pounds and now I am 10 pounds heavier so I need to lose total 20 pounds. I would be than 133 pounds. I am 5’3”. Kiki, you so beautiful and encouraging! Hopefully one day I can reach my goals too!

What if you don’t like mushrooms? Whats the replacement?

Congratulations 🎉you’re an inspiration to us all and an encouragement !! Thank you!
