SUBS273 Welcome to my channel Plant Based Storm. I'm Stormi and I wanted to do a video today showing you what I eat in a day, vacation style, and then later a weight loss update. You can see here that we have plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Now keep in mind this is a shared space with other family members, but we brought everything that we could bring with us in order to stay on track as much as possible. I've got some shelf staples here like the black beans. We brought our protein powder, in case we wanted a smoothie, some condiments and our favorites like the red wine vinegar. And we also brought some of our favorite seasonings with us, our braised sushi rice and brown rice because we like to mix those when we do sushi. I brought protein bars so that we would have a quick snack if we needed something while we were on the road. Also the snacking beans, the saltine crackers are my husbands underneath there. And I also brought gnori sheets because we're planning on doing some sushi for lunch and some hot cereal, the cream of wheat. This was my breakfast every single day. I had some beautiful fresh peaches and a sliced banana on top of oatmeal and a side of steamed veggies and some delicious homegrown tomatoes that my sister-in-law brought and this was a fabulous breakfast every day. And then here I am snacking on some veggies and hummus that I made at home before we left. We snacked on this on the road and to keep me full until I could get the sushi made. And I'm just doing a simple sushi nothing fancy. I have a recipe that I'll link above so it shows you how to do that and then it was time for some fun. Then for dinner I had a burrito bowl. This isn't the exact one. It came from my Instagram but it is super similar. I forgot to take a picture. It's just a bit of greens with some mashed pentos so that it was similar to refried beans and some pico and rice and it topped with my favorite hot sauce. I like to use chalula and some lomb and it was really simple, low key and easy to do. So these are the type of meals I ate for my vacation to keep it simple and so that we could enjoy a lot of fun with everyone. And now I'm going to go ahead and move on into the nummert weight loss update on our way down. My husband snapped this picture and I couldn't get over the difference so I had to do a comparison. The picture in the red dress is me at my almost heaviest weight. I probably lost 10 pounds and then in that month of October I went ahead on to lose another 10 pounds and started my whole food plant based diet. Full force I was kind of playing around with a plant based diet in October but I started it 100%. And the one on the left is me at about five month difference. I think I had lost close to 40 pounds at that point in time and I did so eating all of this delicious food. These are foods that I've recently cooked. It's just simple whole food, vibrant plant based diet that has allowed me to lose 54 pounds and with the other 20 pounds that makes 74 pounds to date. And there's nothing magic about it. I haven't exercised at all at this point. So if you're interested in trying it out, check out some of my other videos and as always thank you so much for watching.
