56 here and started the fasting and healthier eating. A few weeks into it I have no aches and pains, few hot flashes, lots of energy and clarity!! Like I woke up from a foggy depressing dream! I have 30 pounds to lose and will do it. Fasting is very easy, already not missing sugars or processed foods. I do eat organic and non GMO. Love your hair and mostly your beautiful spirit! Thank you

58 and I was 160 June 01 this year and by July 02 I was 149. Changed my food to whole foods organics clean eating 90-95% of my food, walking 30 minutes- an hour or 2 each day. Stopped soda almost completely now , will get there. Low fat or no fat is my goal. I can already feel a difference in my health. A lot more energy, less brain fog and mood swings, anxiety, feel stronger in my step walking, more confident, happy/ good mood, less joint pain, less headaches. It's only been a month. Look forward to what I'm going to feel like in 6 months or a year. I will not go back. I felt sick, not well, not myself. I have a handful of like minded KZreadrs I follow who are healthy, thriving and inspiring to me. Food actually tastes delicious and I look forward to eating it. My body is getting living food and it loves it and it shows me that by how I feel and operate. It took me years to get to this mind set of our bodies were made to heal, be healthy strong and thrive. I want that now, I am ready. I have the "stickwithitness" to not be tempted when friends or family bring foods I once craved and benged on, I pass firmly and I don't feel deprived of anything. I will not allow anyone to trip me up. With God's help I will continue successfully in getting to a healthy me. Hope this encourages someone as many have encouraged me this month. Please continue to make these encouraging videos!

I noticed many people saying YOU can do it bc you live in a warm climate! Pleeeze people! Stop with EXCUSES! You can do it just like her if...if you REALLY want too! Thats the key! How bad do you want it! Good luck

If you want to keep your avocados from turning, once they ripen. Keep them in a jar of water in the fridge. The water keeps them from oxygen which turns them brown.

I follow you on Insta and just came across you here - can I say as a fit, healthy very active 61yo (and 12 year vegan) how REFRESHING it is to see an “influencer” actually eating an amount that doesn’t make me think “I’d be hungry again in an hour” 🤭😂 Good on ya sista! That’s a super healthy, nourishing and satiating approach to plant based eating. 💪👌💪

I'm 53, in a space how you were 2 years ago , 30lbs over weight!! Tamoxifen and menopause!! I absolutely love your videos , you are my inspiration. I'm English (Cornish)/Seychelloise living in Seychelles. Thank you for persevering with your channel! Your amazing.

I'm guessing the tamoxifen is from bc cancer? I just survived 1.5 years of hell myself! I take ip6 instead its a supplement that encourages your immune system to work properly and helps balance hormones . I refused anymore RX drugs!

This has inspired me to start again investing in my health , three months ago I went vegan but still miss cheese , it is very expensive here to buy vegan cheese in South. Africa... I do use n.yeast a lot and make my own cream cheese , but still need the milk to make it.

@@elsaboyd6063I love to make a homemade cheese sauce I pour on everything like the one from Sweet Simple Vegan or Plantiful Kiki. They use veggies, cashews and nutritional yeast.

I'm gluten free and trying to cut out dairy (as its cancer causing) as well as sugar. Chocolate and biscuits are my downfall! Argh! I don't add sugar to anything and now follow the glucose goddess method so I eat my food in the right order to stop the insulin spikes! She recommends a savoury breakfast and yours looked really good! She'd advise having the toast last so it doesn't cause a spike. I often have avocado and scrambled eggs in the mornings with chilli flakes over the avocado. I might introduce a fruit dish afterwards too. Great idea! I'm mostly plant based, but I do like eggs, I'd find them hard to give up. I followed your kettle bell and skipping work out today. There aren't many people who inspire me, but you do. Thank you so much for sharing your life journey with us and your honest account of why you do it. Love your channel! I'm 55 and live in Scotland. Summer is coming tmrw for a 2 day special. 🤣😂 I'll be outside skipping. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I am in the US and I didn't know what aubergine was but googled it and it is eggplant which is the familiar term here. I love your channel and your accent. I don't eat meat so always interested in plant based recipes. I stopped eating meat when I was 5 (I am 72 now). I was raised next to a dairy and loved to see and play with the cows so decided then and there not to eat them (or any other animal).

Hi. Love your videos, but I find it hard to get motivated when it's cold and wet outside! You're lucky to be living in such a mood lifting, warm country.

Hola!I am a Mexican 67 years old and let me tell you the burritos look so good! I am overweight and I am having some problems with my digestive system ☹️and I am trying to see what nutrition it will be better for me!

Thank you for showing full plates of food, with so much variety of fruits, veggies, sauces etc.I'm whole food plant based at 67 cause I want to live as long as I can and as healthy as I can. Thanks for being a motivator and an nspiration!

Gail you're such an inspiration! I'm 60 and have tried intermittent fasting but have not stuck with it. I'm starting with a Chia seed breakfast bowl and going to get with the program!

One of the best blog I have seen, Amazing stuff, Thank you

❤ seeing how excited you are about your market finds and your delicious meal. 🌯

Love your positive energy🌱🌱🌱

Due to your amazing inspiration I just did my first jump rope day 125x and did a short kettle bell workout! Thanks for you great example. I’ll let you know how it goes. Already been WFPB since December🎉

You're so delightful to listen to and enjoyed the trip to the market Very encouraging in my weight loss journey Thank you

You are an inspiration and joy to watch and listen to you ❤❤❤😊

Can't wait to start with your avocado hummis toast in the mornings! I have found that mornings are my "time of bad decisions" but if I start the day well I can finish well!

As a vegan, your dishes look scrumptious to me! I also eat hummus/avocado toast and rather than the sesame seeds, I sprinkle on hemp seeds and also add a pinch of cayenne. 🌱🌎🙏🏽❤️

OMG - you are totally blowing my mind today. I just stumbled upon your channel. I just can't believe the crazy sauces you throw together. Insane. How ever do you come up with those ideas - throw this and that together and come up with a delicious sauce. Incredible. Love your channel. Checked you out - found out you live in Portugal. The fact that you said you have an orange grow piqued my curiosity. And yes, you look so much healthier today than 1 year ago. Voila!

An avocados life can be extended in the fridge ONCE it has ripened, not before. Same with bananas; get it to the ripened stage of your choosing, then off to the fridge.

So enjoying all your videos. Just found you a few days ago and am so inspired. Went plant based two years ago but didn’t incorporate weights or exercise much and really like your exercise routine videos. Great inspiration. You are a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing.

Getting lots of good ideas for meals. Thank you!

I want to clean up my diet after watching you what a fab market to shop in thank you for the inspiration❤

Thank you for the nice ideas.

Great ideas. I have started your routines. IF and kettle bell exercises along with the jump rope!! Mostly planted based eating. Thanks for your videos!

The hummus toast looks delish!!

You are such a joy!!!!!!

I hadn't thought of silken as a substitute for yogurt!! EVERYTHING looks so delicious!!? Thank you!!!

You are simply beautiful. Thanks for the meal ideas. This is week one of intermittent fasting for me and I love seeing how you are making it work for you.

Your meals looked amazing❤

Everything looks SO delicious!! 🤤❤

Thanks for your lovely videos. Im also 55 and I lost 10 kg. Keep going on you are very styling. Im writing from Spain and I can see that you are living under the sun 😊😊

That's what I did. Check out Plantiful Kiki channel for more inspiration. She helped me get healthier.

I grow and propogate my basil to throw in salads, make pesto, caprese salads (with tofu instead of mozzarella). It is so easy to propogate and Im sure you have a sunny spot for a plant pot. :) I also love that you don't bother rinsing the blender. We all need to conserve water these days.

I also have been doing intermitten fasting for years,but i have never lost weight(i only eat twice a day I think its also all about what you eat in 8 hours . Love your videos and your advices and yozr self confidence.

The burrito looks so delicious!!

Will definitely be trying the hummus and avocado etc on toast❤. Always looking for new nutritious ideas - thank you!! 👍

I’m not vegan, but all these look very appetising to me! 🙌

I am enjoying your encouraging content. I notice you live in a warm climate. In my thinking, that alone encourages outdoor activity and decreases stress in general. I live in an area with 5 months of winter. It is much harder to shop, work and exercise without access to fresh produce and safe outdoor space. If, I learned anything from watching you, it is that I can't live a full and active life in a cold climate. Thanks.

Hi fiftysister, been once to Portugal in Cascais and i loved it ..your market and then the place where you had your juice seems super nice.. may i ask where is this about in Portugal ? Love your recipes , been a vegetarian and been eating 85-90% raw food for several decades so not surprised it helped you ..

Simple amazing❤

Looks yummy.😊

Just found you today, thank you for this lovely video. May I ask how you make your pesto please and thank you.

I lost 30lb on a healthy vegan diet 5 years ago.

Yum everything looks scrumptious. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I do love my veggies❤. I would just pass on the tofu, never liked it.

Fabulous....love your energy. Your life looks so wonderful.. ..Just wondering if you get a bit more protein in your daily diet...especially as a menopausal woman...protein is sooo important at this time?

I was wondering if you blend the silken tofu? It looked so creamy.

You need to write a book.

Hi Gail. New sub here. Just wanna ask if you make your own corn tortilla or you buy one. Your corn tortilla looks very fresh

Love your dress, where did you get it from?

I could do this - have a problem that I add alcohol to everything…

❤❤❤

Me too but I’m 63.

Die Hauptganggrösse esse ich auf den ganzen Tag verteilt und nehme zu .. Sicher seeeeeehr lecker.. aber sehr aufwendig.. wenn man noch arbeiten geht..

I can’t quite do 8-2. Maybe 6-5 - small steps 😂

Love your content but you lost me at tofu, I am allergic. Makes it so hard to be plant based. But i will keep trying.

🌹

Hi Gail ... Is the produce you buy at the market organic ? ... Or loaded with pesticides,? Id love to move to Spain and eat more fresh veg ... But worry about the use of pesticides and medical insurance?

So you eat between 8 and 2. Is that just 2 meals then? Thanks!

Did you exercise too, and stop eating processed or sugary foods? That seems to be the key to anyone losing weight and getting healthy no matter your diet.
