I AM OFFICIALLY PLANT-BASED (EATER) AND THERE IS NO LOOKING BACK

2019-04-18 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 21 min

Chantal documents the first full day of committing to a 100% whole-food, plant-based/vegan diet after watching a graphic animal-agriculture documentary. She shows everything she eats (oatmeal with toppings, mangoes, chamomile-lavender tea, a large bottle of spring water, supplements) and later visits Green Door (and mentions Pure Kitchen) to pick up an avocado salad, sweet potato/yam noodles, kale and spinach-walnut salads, beets, and a sweet potato/yam salad. She explains her reasons for going vegan (animal welfare), plans to switch to vegan/cruelty-free makeup, and talks about strategies to avoid bingeing by balancing meals.
