Will you do a video on how you prepare your lentils before you consume them? I would love to eat a cup of day and get 50 g of protein. Sounds so much better than having to eat meat.

I like cheeseburgers 😂. But I'm trying plant-based only right now. About three days. Mostly fasting. Until something healthy looks good then I can eat it 🙂. I think I dropped 10 lb already

Well on top of fruits such as pear, pomegranate, orange by favorite are greens. The body is able to create all amino acids out of glucose, and minerals vitamins enzymes, through the citric acid cycle (formerly known as krebs cycle). So what greens are my favourite? Spinach, lambs lettuce, romaine butterhead lettuces, heirloom lettuces. In all stages of growth such as mature plant, baby leaves, microgreens, and sprouts. Shoots are also to be included with sunflower sprouts.

My source of protein I use on a daily basis are Hempseeds, Pumpkin seeds, Walnut, or Almond milks, and Irish Seamoss Gel.

Please someone tell me how to make the lentils more tasty... I'll soak them and sprout them for about 2 to 3 days but I really just don't care for the flavor too much and they're so starchy feeling in my mouth... I know they're fantastic high-protein but anybody got any ideas to make them more Tasty ⁉️😋

Thanks for the protein recommendations Gillian! I like lentils as well. Also lupini beans which have approximately 36 grams of protein per cup serving. Spirulina, sprouts, is also on my list of good protein sources. I make my own protein powder. Due to the outrageous prices of protein powders and I've come across testing reports of some brands of plant based protein powders containing lead, arsenic, cadmium and BPA. This included organic protein powders as well. Be sure the protein powder you purchase is third party tested. You can pretty much get good amounts of protein from a variety of plant foods. It's more so about the amino acids. Protein Powder Blend Ingredients: 1 cup hemp seeds 1/2 cup chia seeds 1/2 cup flax seeds 1/4 pumpkin seeds Process in blender or food processor until you achieve a fine powder consistency. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for future use. My main workout supplement is creatine. I've been using it for over 15 years. I cycle it on and off. There's plenty of studies to back it's benefits. New studies are now coming out on creatine and cognitive health. Cheers to good health!

Gillian!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been raw for about a month now. So proud of me! I have been concerned about protein. Wondering how to be sure I'm getting enough. Thanks for the video, answered all my questions. Appreciate you. Only because of your channel did I even feel brave enough to go raw. Im rockin it and I feel amazing after only one month so far! Way more energy than ever. I thought I would be hungry all the time but not the case at all. A bowl of fruit or a smoothie satisfies nicely. Can't thank you enough.

My favorite source of protein is chickpeas. They are so versatile and can be used in different forms, like hummus, chickpea flour for vegan omelette or just boiled. ☺️

Great video Gillian! Thank you for raising awareness on this important topic! Protein is unfortunately often disregarded in plant-based circles, but more and more people are catching on. Whoever reads this, don't forget to incorporate resistance training in your lifestyle. Increasing your protein alone won't make you automatically strong. 🥗💪

This is awesome! And right on time!

Great video Gillian thanks heaps. Btw with the sprouted lentils, I make them into RAW VEGAN BURGER PATTIES with some shredded carrots, ginger, garlic, spice of choice, leafy green herb of choice, chia / flax seeds and walnuts/sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds/ you get the point, in a food processor. Soak them for 20 mins in a nice raw vegan tomato puree and you have yourself a very sexy and power packed raw vegan kofta (Indian lentil balls soaked in a spicy tomato curry). This recipe is very versatile so you can make it to your preferences and it is super filling! Best of all it is 100% Raw Vegan with loving kindness, compassion and empathy towards all living beings and the planet!!! Say what!!!!

@@Megan41ish 1. Sprout the lentils. 2. in a food processor, mix all the sprouted lentils, spices, herbs, seasoning, ground sunflower /pumpkin seeds and the ground chia or flax seeds 3. form into balls or burger patties. 4. soak the balls / burger patties into the tomato puree that is prepared for a vegan kofta (basically tomato puree + spices + seasoning + tahini as a cream replacement) 5. after 20 mins it should be ready to eat as the chia / flax ground seeds would have activated as a natural rich omega-3 binding agent. 6. i think there are youtube recipes online. i tried it and it was amazing and much like the cooked vegan version. 7. you can put it on zoodles, coodles, in a collard green wrap. limitless. hope this helps. thanks for asking.

Great topic

Raw vegan is best! Lentils are my fave! I eat lots of tree nuts ... cashews & pecans are my faves ... love sugar snaps ... spinach etc .. I'm the only vegan I know of who doesn't like avocados unless they are unrecognizable. I make a nut/seed butter that can be used as a sandwich, add garlic, ginger, hot peppers on cold zucchini noodles (similar to cold sesame noodles) add fresh peppers, cucumber mmmmm. You look great Gillian! Keep inspiring!❤

Thanks Gillian❤ sometimes I get so confused with all the mixed messages, keto, low carb, etc and all Docs! Tonight I just thought what if there was a heaven or life after death? What would feel right then? Not taking life and killing to eat! That would be hell on earth! 😢 from now on I will eat as if and prepare myself for Eden. ❤

Hi Gillian, Ive been watching your videos for a couple years now! You have inspired me to incorporate more raw meals. Last year I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition after contracting covid and I just want to do whatever I can to heal myself. I love all your videos and you look amazing!

Great video 👏 I tend to use Hemp protein powder, lentils, garbanzo beans, quinoa, yams, sweet potato, pine nuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, & dates for the most part.

Thanks so much for this video! How do you eat your lentils raw, do you just soak them beforehand?

Great video Gillian thank you! While I include almost all of these my favs are hemp seeds. Lentils are great as well and while I like sprouts I love that you don't have to sprout them to eat them raw. Lately I've been adding protein powder here and there (raw pumkin seed, or hemp seed) as I don't want to stress about it, and yet getting sufficient protein makes a difference feeling wise and the powder just makes it easier.

Thankyou Gillian this was so helpful. I was wondering where the protein comes from

I like sprouts and microgreens (once I learned they don't all taste like grass), but you do have to eat a lot of them. Naked Pea is not organic so that's a big ole bucket of glyphosate. Always get organic grains, legumes, nuts, and even sunflower seeds, because they drench them in glyphosate right before harvest to dry the whole field out at once.

It’s so easy! Tutorials abound. Put 1/4 dry whole organic lentils in a large sprouting jar. Soak for 8 hrs in water. Then rinse a few times and drain. Put the jar in an angle to let it drain and rinse twice a day. They sprout very easily and are ready in a few days. I sprout then until the tails are about 1 inch and they have little green leaves. I eat them both raw and steamed .

Do you special lentils for sprouting or just the regular ones from the grocery store?

How do you consume the lentils? In sprouts?

Just straight raw lentils into the salad or sprouts them? X

great video! my fav source is edamame. I dont do protein powders bc they are isolates in dehydrated form. also I have looked everywhere to find the info that says that soaked raw lentils can contain up to 50g of protein. Can you please provide me with the info. I would eat them every single day if I can get that amount of protein each day.

Most of the seed 2:47 I eat, especially the small ones come out the same as they went in so do you blend them?

Any thoughts on soy protein?

Fitness transformation doesn't really happen without ressistance (weight) traning... (except if the goal is SOLELY bodyfat modulation)

Is nutritional yeast raw?

I have a question I eat cashews no salt n only watermelon will I lose lot of weight at 300 pounds

I don't eat much protein i prefer do just eat fruit it makes me feel my best. But i have heard that alfalfa leaf powder is very good for building muscle and is very nutrient dense.

Ty for this video. I'm currently high raw and want to go full raw but I'm also worried about protein especially since I'm 50. Now I'm going to prepare to go fully raw.
