Dear Jill - I have been a fan of your YouTube channel and I have learned so much to help me with my vegan eating. Thank you for being a blessing! I just bought your new cookbook on Amazon. Soon I will write a review on Amazon. Thank you and to your husband for teaching me so much - I am "plant exclusive" in my eating plan - giving up oil was hard at first, but I was able finally after following your YouTube channel! Thank you! Suzy Stroud

TIP: Pick 2 meals that you can make for dinner each week and use the leftovers in your lunch. Once you have those 2 perfect add one more. Then you’ll be up to 3 dinners and 3 lunches WFPB.

Really needed to seet this. I'm transitioning for health reasons (better digestion, heart health and animal welfare).
I'm 52 so this is a huge change. My daughter and her husband are vegan and I have been going to her for tips, advice and recipe ideas. As a US Master swimmer, I practice with my team 4 days a week, so I'm moving!

I'm so glad I found your youtube channel and website!

We homeschool our three kids, and this video is almost exactly like a "How to Get Started in Homeschooling" guide -- especially the parts about doing research, finding your people, keeping explanations simple (and about yourself instead of others), and being quiet about your choices.

I have been vegan for several years and still found these tips really helpful

I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. I’m in process in converting from the traditional mindset from meat to plant based. Experimenting on all sorts of meals. It’s an exciting venture and loving it. Each year that passes, few more animals stay alive bc of my choices. I’m beginning to see animal products is not a natural thing to do at all. Thank you for your useful knowledge.. namaste

This is so helpful. I began a plant based, oil free diet to help my MS symptoms and have decided to go full whole food vegan for the planet. I feel so much better in my body, but it’s very difficult sometimes as there are so many ingredients and flavours that I am just discovering. The twelve tips are a huge help and I’m so glad I found your channel. Many thanks 😊

Good video, thanks! I have two comments. First, when asked where I get protein, I usually respond, "The same place cows get it." Second, as for the question of why I eat a plant-based diet, "I believe we were designed to eat plants. And, it is best for us to follow the designer's plan." I do often follow that idea with a statement like, "But, I know not everyone agrees with my thinking, and that's okay. It's not a religion, it's a lifestyle for better health."

Hi, Jill. I am a senior, single. I think the best suggestion I could make as I am finding my way in these first days of WFPB, learn to adjust quantities. I don't need many calories each day to get all the nutrients I need. As a life-long foodie, I get very excited about new foods and information. I want it all and I want it now, as they say. Slow down and enjoy " sampler days, weeks" until you figure it out for YOU. Thanks so much.

This is a great video! Keep it to yourself is the easiest. People don’t understand... no food shame, no guilt!

[christinem]

Hi Jill. These tips are fab. I’ve been experimenting with many types of ‘healthy’ diets for a while now but this by far is the one that my body loves the best.

Your be kind to yourself comment is so true as my thinking is if I’m WFPB 95% of the time and I’m feeding my body lots of nutrient dense plant food including my daily green juices or smoothies, my body can surely take care of the occasional rubbish and over time I’m finding I’m taking in the nonsense foods less and less. Thank you for the resources available on this channel and I’ve bought your book. Love it ❤️❤️

Thank U Thank U- the information and time you take to give us the basics all the way to preparing ourselves for a lifestyle change is invaluable- I decided to test my body’s reaction to making a kale salad that you made and boy I was completely blown away with the energy and strength I gained from just eating a 💯% pure kale salad with your ranch dressing recipe- I was ready to jump stretch and dance- live plant based eating is worth every ounce of effort- thankU soooo much ❤

[mudnut]

Great Tips, loved every one of them. I've lived a plant based life for about 7 months now, but my wife refuses to change her old eating habits, makes it a bit hard, but Life goes on...

[GregTLaurie]

Just stumbled across your channel from the Krocks. Very small world! I grew up in Graham pretty much my whole life. My dad still lives in Mebane. Now living in Tampa. Really enjoying your content and information. Thank you!

[carolalm]

Jill, thank you for the tips. I will forward this to some friends who have recently gone WFPB and have been looking to me for guidance. You have said “it all” in such a clear, concise, and organized way. There is so much more information and there are so many more choices to embrace this lifestyle than when I started for health reasons in 2012, but for each person who makes this choice there is that overwhelming “first time.” I wish each of you well on your WFPB journey. Jill, thanks for the ongoing suggestions, recipes, and support.

Thanks Jill, im in the midst of a 40 day fast and am researching new recipies for my new life .

Something I learned immediately from a wfpb oil free diet, I used to not be a breakfast person. Now, when I wake up I'm starving! So I've learned, make a huge portion of beans and greens, make a ton of vegan chili, make a ton of whatever is compliant with your life style, and when I need a snack or a meal which ever, you.can warm it and eat it. I also really enjoy having all of my non refrigerated produce insight constantly so I know I have a snack ready!

❤️ Great video, really sage advice for newbies. I went plant based/vegan as soon as I watched what the health a few weeks ago. Gutted out my fridge/freezer looked up some fantastic recipes. You try and create the food you love what I’m surprised at is how easy it was. It is life altering, this decision but once informed how can you turn your back on this knowledge if it’s detrimental to your health, your environment & the animal kingdom? I wish everyone all the best no matter where they are on their journey. 😁
