Mimi's Tips on Healthy Diet 

Mimi, i watched a few of you girls videos today, including the new years resolution one. I think it all ties up into creating a healthy lifestyle for oneself and being more positive and in control. I really enjoy your videos because of the perspective you have on life! You are always improving yourselves spiritually, you wanna be healthy physically, you travel, you want to share your positivity to the world and i greatly admire that! Thank you for brightening my day!

Hi Mimi. This is a great video. Thank you! My husband made a great point one day: "I realize why eating lots of veggies in my diet makes me feel more alert, alive. Because when you cut a vegetable, it's still growing even when you put it in the fridge. It's still life and alive. Whereas when you cut a piece of meat, it's dead. The blood stops running and it's basically decaying when you cook it."

@MissTango2 It's my pleasure:) Thank you for watching hun:)

@LiliVanBerg Not yet, but I will upload a video on How I stay Fit this week most likely:)

Thanks for the tips mimi! it wont be easy incorporating all of them into my lifestyle, but they are definitely for a healthy well being and I will try to include them in my life everyday as much as possible. on a lighter note, that background oceany sound is soooo soothing!

@djjollyrancher Thank you :) Love you too! :) Thanks for watching:)

@makesmenblush It's my pleasure, I will definitely try to integrate more " food" videos;) hehe

My mom actually has a degree in Nutrition, and my grandma is a vegan, so I've been hearing these things since I was a kid. But somehow, I think your inspiring video, and your enthusiasm, has helped it really stick in my mind :D Thanks for this video Mimi!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your tips, this is a very helpful video. I'm 17 and I've noticed that I don't bother even touching any fruit or vegetables, and I only drink about a glass of water a day. The rest I just drink is tea and tend to eat any food that looks good enough but I don't take into consideration how bad it could be. But this video has really given me a boost and the motivation I needed to care about what I'm eating. It's not necessarily a diet, more of a healthy eating routine.

thank you for taking time to make this video. you have a busy life so doing this was very sweet of you. a lot of what you say is true! i love meat so i would not stop, maybe less meat more fruit and veggies but your ideas are great. not a lot of people get enough veggies and fruit. you look healthy, you do not look sick at all ( i read a comment that said you were too skinny)

you have convinced to me! I try information and I also transform! love you mimi,thank you!

I love all your tips and I've tried most of them and started to feel more energized! Thank you sooo much! :)

Mimi you are soo sweet and genuine; its refreshing! Thanks soo much for all the great advice! When I forget my motivation to continue eating correctly I just refer back to this video and I am instantly snapped back to all the perks of living a healthy life-style =D Lots of Love from NYC

@MsJujubar Oh, I can't believe I forgot to mention quiona...I love it! :)

Quick correction: foods made with white flour are not necessarily bleached. Wheat is ground and then the bran (where all the nutrients are) is removed. Then the flour actually has to be aged to get to the right texture. However, this is a time-consuming process, so usually flour is treated with bleach to speed up the aging process. You can get into whether the bleach is dangerous, but either way, white flour is just processed carbs.

great healthy tips mimi youve helped me with so much beauty my hair, weight everything! your amazing

Thank you Mimi! This was a great video!

I wanted to know how do you tell which herbal tea's are better for you and are the ones that can be purchased at the grocery stores a good choice? Do you order your herbal tea online or buy from health food stores?

@mattp2182 Hi sweetie:) It's great to know that you already know and are probably living your life in a healthy way. However, most people don't know the truth about food, and I can only hope my video will inspire them to learn more:)

Omg! Thank you so much Mimi! (: your video has inspired me incredibly! You have awesome tips and I totally agree with you! (:

I'm so excited to see your video! I'm glad you started making videos again. Good job! :)

aww you are so lovely Mimi, amazing tips (: x

i agree with you Luxy. i take eating healthy very important but when it comes to sharing this information for my fiance or my loved ones, they just done take this serious enough. but i thought i was the only one who knew that drinking juice is not the healthiest. thank you Luxy. Truly inspired.

You are an inspiration!

I absolutely agree with you regarding drinking lots of water. Lemon water is amazing way to detoxify your body in addition to other benefits. I also add a combination of lemon&raspberry, cucumber&lime, pineapple&watermelon to my water to change it up once in a while. And about 3 months ago I became a vegan. To my surprise the transition from vegetarian to vegan was not as hard as I expected. You can totally do it Mimi! :))

That nail color looks great with your skin tone. You look so fresh and healthy... good styling with this video about eating healthy!

Thank you for this Video MiMi =).. This is my Favorite video of yours so Far.. TIP: About The whole meat and Veggies thing .. you are suppose to eat the Veggies 1st.. and the reason being is because they will digest faster and your body will absorb its nutrients (wait like a 1/2 hour) Then eat meat, Fish, or chicken.. If you eat the meat 1st and then veggies, not only will your body focus on the break down of meat, the veggies will basically sit on top of the meat.. making you feel bloated

Your quality is amazing and i love the background! It looks beautiful :) Hope your having a fantastic time!

I just recently discovered your channels (luxyhair and this one) and i love them! You are def. my new favorite hair guru! Just wanted to tell you! :) -Sisi :)

You're in Costa Rica!!!!! Omg how exciting. Cannot wait to see a follow me around video!

This was amazing. I was on dr. bernstein and most of the things that youve explained in your video is kind of how it was like on the dr. bernstein diet. And I most defiantly agree when you eat this way you feel like a feather lol!! You feel AMAZING! Love you girls! J.

Thank you for all this healthy tips!

Thanks Mimi! I'm more motivated about eating healthy.

thank you for every video you've done it really helps and i think im going to start being a pescitarian or whatever because like you i really dont enjoy meat and want to be healthier like you! you are my inspiration!!(:

Thank you so much lately i was trying to get healthier and because of your video i fanally know how

@CatherineKhim It's my pleasure love;) blending your own juices is definitely better, try to add veggies like broccoli , carrots and beats, instead of fruit ( at least sometimes) hehe

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii im from costa rica, im so happy that you are here, enjoy!!!!! and i love your videos

Great video! I have been pescatarian for 8 years and now am going toward veganism but I still love seafood sometimes. It definitely has been a lifestyle filled with energy when you eliminate heavy meats and substitute with so many veggies. My new love is the Nutiva Hemp Shake for breakfast or anytime!!, it has loads of fiber, I love it!

Great video Hun! Thank you so much for sharing your advice and tips :o)

You're sutch an amazing person! I eat mostly like you, since I beacame vegan it was so much easier to quit candy and other sweets. Keep making video's and inspire the world! Much love

I slowly transitioned myself and kids to brown rice by mixing it with white, then once we got used to the texture, I completely only cook brown rice now. I want to try wild rice now that you mention it.

Great Video!!!! i hope to see more tips and videos like these :)

Thanks for the tips! Btw, your top is gorgeous!!!

hey mimi, do you have a "home grill" or how do you grill your food in the winter when it's too cold outside?

This helped me so much! It is going to be a hard transition to eat clean foods and get healthy but I REALLY want to do it so I can look beautiful and FEEL beautiful in my body:)

Plz Mimi do a healthy cooking video... Thank U so much for sharing your thoughts and tips for a better healthier life.. :) Keep going inspire us...

It looks sooooo peaceful where you are!!

Hi Mimi, I loved this video, and decided to drink only herbal tea and water for a week. I also shared a link to your video on RU-vid in today's blog post that I called going herbal! Thank you a million! Xoxo

Thanks mimi this is very helpful

Awesome video! Great tips! I knew a lot of them, but you motivated me again to follow them :-) You both are beautiful and seem very healthy and powerful! Great inspiration! Thanks :-)

Hey Mimi !! I love all of your videos :) I've some questions about this one: what do you eat for breakfast ? Do you eat eggs ? And what do you eat instead of chocolate or sugar, cookies and stuff like that ? Thank you :)

i loooove this video you are so insipring about any arguments, you are a very interesting person

I am a veggie! Great job! eliminating animal products has to be the best thing i have ever done for myself. And eating meat actually does more harm to your body than "not" eating. If everyone knew how animals products are produced everyone would be vegetarians! Great job!! :))))

@TheChum1981 Thank you sweetie:) Yep, it's all about eating more of veggies and healthy grains, beans and decreasing sugars, meats, etc:)

hey Mimi- love the video! Could you please make a video on eating healthy while travelling? I find that super tricky and would love to hear your thoughts on it :)

Such great tips

Shower filters are great considering our skin absorbs water a lot of water while showering /bathing. I have hard water so the filter has also made a big difference in my skin and as an added bonus, my hair is easier to manage because it's experiencing less mineral deposits. Looking forward to the fitness video!

this was extremely helpful :) thank you! x

Great video! I've been a vegetarian for almost 2 yrs now and I know exactly what u mean about not craving certain foods once you're educated on what's in it or even where it came from. I take multivitamins and calcium supplements regularly to get all the nutrients I need. Soy products are great substitutes for protein as well as beans. I would loove to become vegan eventually but I love cheese way too much. Becoming vegetarian is definitely better for the environment and for our health.

Great video! You are very knowledgeable on this topic. I eat pretty well, I no longer eat red meat, and eat whole grains. My one weakness is still sweets...it's so hard to let chocolate go...lol

@beautybudget88 thank you, it's China Glaze- Pink Voltage

Great video, really helpful thanks

nicee video , I learn from you ! and now I really pay attention on food

@HelloKittenX Thank you for the tips sweetie:) Do you recommend any particular juicer per say?

mimi, when you say not to drink juices or very small amounts what is your opinion on smoothies that are made from blended fruits (not juice)?

Great video! I feel really inspired, Thank you! Maybe you could start a little mini series on your tips for healthy living with subjects you mentioned like exercise, vitamins and tips of the day that you pick up along the way :)

UGH!! COSTA RICA!!?.....i'm jealous, lol i know you are enjoying yourself! my family is from Panama. i love it!

thanks for this gorgeous girlie! you are right when you say 'you are what you eat'. I often make the mistake of working out like crazy and then eating junk food, which obviously cancels out all my effort. But your video has inspired me to start to do things right! love you! p/s quick question if i blend my own juices without adding sugar is it ok?

I loveeeee this video! :) I love that ur in Costa Rica U look amazing!

@tinakiim I'm planning on starting a Life Blog, so I'll share some cooking recipes on there as well:)

@killercat88 We use gorge forman grill at home:) it's perfect for any season:)

@Caimille Thanks Caimille:) I usually just get it at Bulk Food Store:) You will find it in the rice section.

@kenstonhutz12 thank you sweetie:) The polish is by China glaze- pink voltage
