natural foods= "WHOLE FOODS"=non processed-none refined foods. refined foods makes you sick-not only the animal products which give you too much cholesterole.refined foods are defined also as junk food as they have no value.you're one of the very few vegans that don't eat natural food=whole food.in germany this doesn't exist that vegans eat processed-refined junk.try to get the "WHOLE" understanding of being a vegan sweetheart.
@1982mockingbird1982: All animal products contain cholestrol. As animals ourselves, we don't need to take-in any extra cholestrol because our bodies make it for us as we need it - naturally derived from a plant-rich diet. The reason why some people still believe that women need 'milk' is because it's been pushed on us that milk=calcium, and during menopause a womans body needs more calcium, magnesium and selenium. These are best found in dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale & broccoli.
Like your videos, saw the Christian 101 video .....I hope it will convince some people. Have you read "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer. It is a must.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us! They are such a blessing to me. I've made several attempts in the past to be vegetarian and a vegan (during another period in my life), and I was not successful because I didn't do enough research/planning. But I have recently made the decision to be committed to becoming a vegan and I know that I will succeed by the grace of God! I hope that you and your family are doing well! Be blessed!

YA POR FAVOR PONTE A TRABAJAR CON TU MARIDO EN LA RECONSTRUCCION DE TU PAIS Y DEJATE DE TONTERIAS GUATEMALTECA!!!! VEGANO!!! QUE GANAS CON ESO? PIENSAS QUE CAMBIARAS AL MUNDO? LO QUE REQUIERES ES ATENCION Y AQUI LA TIENES CON YOUTUBE,QUE POBRE ILUSA.......
Hi! I just came across you videos and I find them very helpful! Thanks! :)
The only thing that irritates me a little bit is what you are saying about bread. What is the problem with bread? I'm from Germany so maybe our bread is different :), I don't know, but I usually eat wholemeal/wholewheat bread and this is actually very healthy.
@dontreallycarexxxxxx Refined foods like bread and other baked goods aren't really healthy, specially when you are sick like my mother was. That's why we said what we said. I like bread, and eat it almost daily... bread that is made with animal products like whey, milk or eggs is not vegan. So I only eat vegan bread. Thanks for watching :)

Hi porolita, I just want to comment that you have great videos. You and your mom are doing a greate team. I undestand now why your little brother became vegan.
what do youdo if some one who does't not know that your vegan tells you about the fennefit of including a portion of chickn,or fish in ur meal is important?
I explain to them why that isn't true. I've read a lot about vegan nutrition and can provide lots of useful information for a great conversation :) There really isn't any need for animal products in our diet whatsoever. It's just a matter of doing a little research. We can find all nutrients our body needs in a helthy plant based diet.
Lamentablemente hasta que la gente que uno quiere, se enferma, es cuando empiezan a abrir los ojos. Felicitaciones para tu mami, ojalá poco a poco lo vaya viendo por la protección de los animales, además de poder alcanzar una óptima salud.
Quiero estos videos en Español (o ponles subtítulos) No entiendo bien el inglés (ignorante de mi, jajaja) Parecen interesantes pero no los entiendo!!!! jajaja
Where do you live Porolita? I tried being vegan for 6 weeks but then went back to dairy for a few months and now I'm doing research and I would like to be vegan, permanently. But I live in Spain and it's very hard as there aren't many alternative products and eating out is going to be hard. How do you cope in such a society?
Vivo en Guatemala :) yo he escuchado que hay muchos veganos en España ahora. Te puedo recomendar algunos amigos de youtube que conozco que viven en España tambien :)
Oh man I know this was 3 months ago but I hadn't seen your comment until now. I just updated the link for the documentary so you can check it out. Sorry for the delay!
Best of luck to your mom's health issues & cholesterol. I've used Lecithin, which is a soy product, to help reduce cholesterol and it's effective especially when on a vegan or near-vegan diet.
Like your Mother I just found out that I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure.I have made a change in my diet but havent went full on vegan but its something I'm looking in to.I am very glad I found your channel it is very helpful. thank you:)
I wish you the best - and if I may suggested - please watch `Food That Kills` on YouTube. It`s quite the eye opener and explains very simply why animal products are extremely dangerous as well as not intended for our consumption.
I cut my cholesterol almost in half when I went vegan; I'm really happy for your mom. (Oh, and by the way, quitting the dairy will make menopause easier.)
Well done! I have recently stopped eating bread, I am keen to make Gluten free bread because if I eat Gluten from flour based foods like bread and Pasta, I become really tired and have no energy, I thought it was my Vegan diet at first but now know whats what, and even after eating a little pasta and oats today I got that same bad feeling. So not eating bread is a good thing, but like u I feel its difficult not to eat bread, but I want to make gluten free bread, its difficult lol
Best of wishes to you in 2009 you are a great inspiration...you were one of the first individuals to convince me to go from vegetarian to vegan in the first place!
Yes she is. She has her check up appointment on the 28th, let's see what the doctor says. I am sure her condition will have improved. Thanks for asking Naomi :)
(cont again) He is also reaping MANY other benefits or the intended human diet. He eats as much as he wants without losing weight, has an ease of digestion never experienced before, his prostate and kidney issues went away, and he has more energy than he has had in 30 years. Porolita, thanks for being such a great advocate for this healthy lifestyle that has the potential to heal and help more people than most things on this planet. You do such a wonderful job with all these videos. <3
(cont) Dana Farber Cancer Institute (boston) has themselves not seen this except in ONE other case. He has maintained these zero levels now for 6 months+, longer than anyone else diagnosed with this condition on record. There is a case study currently being done on him, and the ONLY thing that differentiates him from the average MM patient is his vegan diet. I will be making a video and writing on this eventually, I didn't want to speak too soon.
My father went vegan after being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, cancer of the bone-marrow plasma. It took me a while to convince him, but he is a man of science and I presented him with enough credible evidence for him to give it a shot, The China Study really helped with that, haha. As of now, he is the only person in his age bracket (he's 66) to have achieved a myeloma level of ABSOLUTE ZERO, and this has only been achieved in several other incidents they referred to as "anomalies".
So cool! Both you and your Mom are such lovely ladies! I found eliminating dairy greatly reduced my menopausal hot flashes... But that makes sense because of all the artificial hormones in milk & cheese. They are not good for the cows and certainly not good for humans. Anyway, sounds like you're on your way to a much healthier lifestyle - Good luck - you'll do fine :)
It's awesome to see you and your mum together, and I am so glad they caught her condition early enough that she can make this change and life a long and healthy life :-)
it is so great that you and your mom can now sort of support each other in being vegan.. you don't have to be the only one in the family who's vegan anymore and she has someone to help her with becoming vegan... yay!
Oh also I had a hysterectomy when I was 21. I will not use Estrogen from the doctor. It is horse urine. I don't understand how this could help in any way. So I use a compound product that is not from any animals. Plus it works! You can find it at a compound pharmacy.
Thank you! I will check it out... I have no idea what she's taking at the moment to be honest :-/ but that thing about the horse urine sounds disgusting! LOL
Congrats! Once you see what animals go through for food it is not worth it as said. Diane D is an amazing woman. She is such a great activist for animals. You actually feel better on a Vegan diet. Once you start there is no going back just as you said. You can't look at animals the same way. Thank you so much for this video. You both are amazin! xo
You mentioned that all you've been eating is vegetables and grains. Do you have any advice for me or could you share a diet plan? I tried doing this and I just starve.
Well what I mean is that those are the main ingredients of our foods. We're not the most creative cooks but I've been experimenting on some vegan cookbooks I got from a friend of mine :)
I'll send you a link to some sites you might find interesting :)
You are both beautiful and intelligent vegan women. I wish you both the best of health and happiness! Congratulations to Mom on making a change in her life.
Good to see your mom doing well being vegan! My dad has been asking about going on a veggie diet - and thats not like him at all...I guess I have opened his eyes a bit :) The world is slowly changing :)
Oh I don't really know where she saw it. But I am sure it must have been on TV because she doesn't use the internet much. But I'm gonna ask her for you and let you know :)
Wow, this was great. Two beautiful vegan women in one video. I really hope your mom sticks with her new diet so that she can be young and pretty looking for many more years. And most importantly HEALTHY! I really liked this video. Thanks for sharing your mom's story with us. She makes an excellent, in studio, guest. :-)
wow. This video gives me faith that my parents could possibly, potentially, maybe change their eating habits. My dad has high cholesterol, my grandfather has diabeties. I'm beginning to wonder when they will see that the food they eat plays a big part in that.
You should totally show them that documentary!!! And then make further research to confirm what it says. It is awesome cause it doesn't really mention the word VEGAN or VEGETARIAN it just says "plant based diet". (I believe people take it as AR propaganda by just mentioning those 2 words lol) It really is a shocker. The link is on the video description section :)
Idk if they would watch it. They think I'm radical and crazy. My grandparents thought I was insane for going vegetarian, they see food as such a huge important thing. My Grandmother always lectures me about nutrition and I'm just thinking, have you looked at your plate lately?! So far in my family, cancer, diabeties, and high cholesterol. WHY ARE THEY NOT VEGAN? I have no idea. Mystery to me. At least I know I'm doing everything right!
I get that with my father all the time. He lectures me EVERY SINGLE TIME he sees me. Oh and Holiday dinners are hell, since we don't live together. So annoying!!!
A good meat substitute is lima beans. I cook dryed large lima beans in a crock pot and add 1 package of dried onion soup mix to the pot. Delicious. Actually, I am enjoying cheese toast made with tofu cheese. Good luck.
Tofu cheese actually tastes like cheese and has the same texture. I buy it at one of the health food stores in prepackaged individual slices. Hope you can find some.
I am so happy that you posted this video. Your mother is gorgeous and she looks really great. I am thrilled to see that she is doing better!!! Huge hugz to you too!!!
It is awesome that she realized it is good for her. Good! Not only will her health improve but all her life in general. She will live longer and healthier now.
You might want to google Dr. McDougall as he has one of the best websites for information I have come across. You can do a search and he has information and newsletters, recipes, etc. He truly believes that anyone can reverse heart disease, diabetes, artritis, etc. by adhering to a plant based diet and stop using any pharmacuetical drugs.
Yes! Thank you so much for all your advice :) I am glad I showed my Mom that documentary. It was very helpful indeed. I'm going to download her more information about the website as well. The RAVE diet = Awesomeness.
Porolita22 - now I know where you get your good looks from. You brought tears to my eyes with your mention of EATING documentary and how it has helped. I feel that my purpose on this planet is helping and I feel so good inside.
Your mother will do well I can tell and as for the milk/cheese - that is the hardest to get off of, as it contains an addictive property. That's what keeps the babies coming back for more - if that makes any sense. In a short time thou, you will find the cheese spells rotten. There are so many wonderful foods to be enjoyed... vegetarian chili. pastas - all kinds, nothing wrong with bread, just eat whole grains.
Most bread is vegan. Well it is in the UK. Its a long time since they put lard in bread due to BSE. There is only a tiny number of recipes with milk.

And most importantly HEALTHY! I really liked this video. Thanks for sharing your mom's story with us. She makes an excellent, in studio, guest. :-)

"In studio" LOL yeah I was more nervous than she was haha, that's why I couldn't stop laughing (at the beginning).

wow. This video gives me faith that my parents could possibly, potentially, maybe change their eating habits. My dad has high cholesterol, my grandfather has diabeties. I'm beginning to wonder when they will see that the food they eat plays a big part in that.

You should totally show them that documentary!!! And then make further research to confirm what it says. It is awesome cause it doesn't really mention the word VEGAN or VEGETARIAN it just says "plant based diet". (I believe people take it as AR propaganda by just mentioning those 2 words lol) It really is a shocker. The link is on the video description section :)

Idk if they would watch it. They think I'm radical and crazy. My grandparents thought I was insane for going vegetarian, they see food as such a huge important thing. My Grandmother always lectures me about nutrition and I'm just thinking, have you looked at your plate lately?! So far in my family, cancer, diabeties, and high cholesterol. WHY ARE THEY NOT VEGAN? I have no idea. Mystery to me. At least I know I'm doing everything right!

I get that with my father all the time. He lectures me EVERY SINGLE TIME he sees me. Oh and Holiday dinners are hell, since we don't live together. So annoying!!!

A good meat substitute is lima beans. I cook dryed large lima beans in a crock pot and add 1 package of dried onion soup mix to the pot. Delicious. Actually, I am enjoying cheese toast made with tofu cheese. Good luck.

I've never tried Tofu cheese. I wonder what it tastes like. We don't have that kind of stuff here in my country, at least not that I know of.

Tofu cheese actually tastes like cheese and has the same texture. I buy it at one of the health food stores in prepackaged individual slices. Hope you can find some.

You might want to google Dr. McDougall as he has one of the best websites for information I have come across. You can do a search and he has information and newsletters, recipes, etc. He truly believes that anyone can reverse heart disease, diabetes, artritis, etc. by adhering to a plant based diet and stop using any pharmacuetical drugs.

Yes! Thank you so much for all your advice :) I am glad I showed my Mom that documentary. It was very helpful indeed. I'm going to download her more information about the website as well. The RAVE diet = Awesomeness.

Porolita22 - now I know where you get your good looks from. You brought tears to my eyes with your mention of EATING documentary and how it has helped. I feel that my purpose on this planet is helping and I feel so good inside.

Your mother will do well I can tell and as for the milk/cheese - that is the hardest to get off of, as it contains an addictive property. That's what keeps the babies coming back for more - if that makes any sense. In a short time thou, you will find the cheese spells rotten. There are so many wonderful foods to be enjoyed... vegetarian chili. pastas - all kinds, nothing wrong with bread, just eat whole grains.
