I love this woman. No dieting, no unrealistic idea of what a balanced diet looks like, no talk about calories or macros. Just good food and joy.

Anybody else spend hours binge watching her videos only to find you forgot to do what you were supposed to do that

Lifelong carnivore here. Have been making some lifestyle changes over the last couple of weeks. Exercise, better eating, the whole thing. My gf wanted me to check out the sauce in this video to make sometime. Ended up watching the whole thing and have made those addictively delicious frijoles twice now. Adding more plant based options into our menu now, so thanks for expanding my horizons a bit.

I love this way of eating--and no diet culture crap ("forbidden foods", calorie counting, etc). It took me 65 years to start eating this more balanced way. Attempting many more plant based meals--I find your channel extremely helpful for this. Thank you.

It's so refreshing to see a realistic, sustainable plant-based lifestyle. This is very similar to how I actually eat. Thank you for sharing!

[zeynepduruaygun]

It's so nice to see someone not promoting diet culture, making realistically achievable and generally affordable foods. Your videos helped me become a vegan much easier. Also these tips videos helped me not get stuck in ADHD purgatory when it came to food so I could avoid the start of an eating disorder. Thank you so much for creating such quality content <3

FINALLY a meal prep that understands I don't want to eat the same thing all the time (unless I randomly do, but not by plan).

[kristynanavratilova]

So true about the snacks, I absolutely love to fill dates with peanut butter, it doesn't even feel like I'm eating something healthy. Also, adding fresh herbs to salads was a total game-changer for me :D

[diahidvegi]

Nisha, I love your recipes so much. Today I made your gingerbread cake, yesterday your tofu tikka masala, for Christmas your salted chocolate pie, a few weeks ago your red lentil curry and the breakfast burritos with tofu scramble.... They're all such high quality recipes that have been tested and communicated with care and love. I just hope that you know when you sit down every morning to plan out your work day that you are actually changing people's life for the better. And so does Max! You guys are a lovely team and I used to only watch the videos because they're so entertaining, but then they enhanced my love for cooking and following recipes as well. Thank you for all that you both do. Hope you see this because you deserve to know! ❤️ With love from Budapest, Hungary :)

I love that these videos are about whole food fruits and vegetable meals, not trying to make something taste like something else. Everything is so fresh looking it makes me want to try them. I tried once before but had such a hard time and ended up gaining weight, was bloated and lethargic. I am looking forward to starting this journey again after watching your videos. Please keep cooking!

[onnadarts]

I'd like to thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel. It's really helping my wife and me as we shift our diet. I really enjoy cooking, and you have a lot of delicious recipes on here. Thanks again!

[miriammeyers]

I just recovered from Covid. I used last week to return to the plant- based diet I know is best for me (but I fell off a year ago!). Now I'm ready and found you! Thank you for your efforts and your adorable personality. You are a 🌟

[winniecooks]

I get excited whenever you post. I want to go vegan but I know with your channel, it will be easy for me

[phatshaddo]

I am so happy that I discovered you just quite by chance. I'm not even vegan, but have ended making the hummus and the soup so far! Your recipes are realistic, simple and delish!! I'm excited every time I see a new video coming out!!

[wordsandtricks]

No such thing as too much sourdough bread! Love this format, Nisha. Good luck with the book writing. ✍

[Sarah-unvk]

It was fun to see a little more of your life! You and Max are so cute!

[EliFitness-pklp]

This is genius! Peanut sauce is my fav salad dressing ever, so THANK YOU. I added a bit of MSG, Sichuan chili flakes, and blended in some roasted garlic. Delish!

Just learned in my biology of aging class that intermittent fasting increases lifespan, even when the cumulative amount of calories consumed is the same!

[duneattack]

I just stumbled onto your channel in this mornings search for more vegetarian options for our diet. So, before breakfast and for an hour after breakfast I watched several of your video's and I am absolutely I have a bunch of Indian spices from last year's couple month quest into indian cooking, again for less reliance on meat and for a flavor dense, nutrient packed dinner option. We have a place in Oceanside that we frequently escape the extreme hot and extreme cold of Northern Nevada, so I'm looking forward to our next romp down in a couple of weeks. Thank you so much for your spunky, quick, uncomplicated presentation and myriad of awesome ideas to help me in my quest for a more plant based repertoire. I'll be visiting your channel over and over! I am so stoked!!
