00:04 Fitness goals?

00:05 Those who work out there have high hands.

00:08 But remember, exercise should be followed by a healthy diet.

00:13 But others will worry if Jetta says, "It's expensive!"

00:18 No worries, my dears.

00:21 We got you!

00:22 Because the diet that is already healthy and cheap is perfect for that.

00:27 Watch out for that later.

00:31 How many children do you have?

00:33 That's the question that was asked to 30-year-old Yang Lim from Putatan, Iloilo when she was growing up.

00:40 She told me that I look like I have a child.

00:44 How many children do I have?

00:46 I'm already big.

00:48 My weight before was 56 kilograms.

00:52 So that's when it reached a boiling point that I think I need to take control of my body.

00:59 Because of this, Yang lost her confidence in herself.

01:03 It's like it's too fast.

01:06 I am gaining weight every day.

01:08 I tried a lot of diets.

01:10 I jog almost every day.

01:12 But years passed, it didn't work.

01:15 This is when she decided to lose weight.

01:19 She started researching on the internet.

01:21 She found out that plant-based diet is only for vegetables and fruits.

01:27 I discovered plant-based diet.

01:30 And I followed that, only vegetables and fruits.

01:34 According to the expert, plant-based diet is under the so-called vegetarian diet.

01:41 Where vegetables, fruits and other sources of protein are consumed.

01:48 Plant-based diet is the consumption of food from plants.

01:54 Or fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.

01:59 From the name itself, plant-based, meaning your diet is mostly from plants.

02:07 According to the expert, not only vegetables and fruits are the source of nutrients in the vegetarian diet.

02:14 Plant-based diet has 5 characteristics over vegetarian diet.

02:19 We have what we call vegan or total vegetarian diet.

02:23 Meaning purely eating fruits and vegetables or vegetables.

02:28 And animal products like dairy and eggs are excluded.

02:33 We have what we call lacto-vegetarian diet.

02:37 Meaning they eat dairy products on top of their plant-based or fruits and vegetable consumption.

02:44 We have lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet.

02:47 Where they add dairy, eggs or egg and plant-based products like fruits and vegetables in their diet.

02:54 We have pescetarian diet.

02:57 Meaning they eat fish and other seafood on top of their fruits and vegetable consumption.

03:03 And lastly, we have what we call semi-vegetarian or flexitarian diet.

03:08 Where red meats are excluded but they eat chicken and seafood.

03:15 But according to her research, plant-based diet doesn't have to be expensive.

03:21 Because most of it is consumed in their diet.

03:25 We only have vegetables and fruits around us.

03:29 You can also plant your own vegetables.

03:33 At first, Yang said that she only eats vegetables and fruits.

03:37 Like water spinach, eggplant and tofu that she often puts in her dishes.

03:42 Especially that she's used to eating chicken and pork.

03:47 And the only adjustments are the preparation of food.

03:53 For example, on Sundays, I prepare soups and other dishes for the whole week.

04:01 But she said that after 2 weeks, she saw the changes in her weight.

04:08 I lost weight and my feelings became lighter.

04:13 And they also said that my appearance also became younger.

04:19 And then my hair and skin also improved.

04:26 My metabolism also improved and my digestion also improved.

04:31 In 10 months, from 56 kilos, she lost 45 kilos in weight.

04:39 Just by eating vegetables.

04:41 I'm very happy with the results of my diet.

04:45 Because my feelings became lighter and I feel like I have freedom.

04:49 Is it effective to lose weight if you only eat vegetables and fruits?

04:56 Plant-based diet can help you to lose body fat.

05:00 As long as you have regular exercise.

05:03 Since plant-based diet has high fiber content,

05:07 meaning you can get full easily.

05:10 So sometimes, we can reduce our extra serving of food because you feel full.

05:16 She also shared the positive effects of plant-based diet on social media.

05:22 To inspire netizens that diet doesn't have to be expensive.

05:27 Enjoy your journey in plant-based diet.

05:31 If you want to be healthy and lose excess weight,

05:35 this is easy to do.

05:38 All you need is commitment and discipline.

05:42 Today, Yang will share with us one of her vegetable specialties.

05:47 Stir-fried leaves of alugbati.

05:51 The ingredients we will use are tomatoes, garlic, onion, and chili.

05:57 We also have soy sauce and our alugbati leaves.

06:02 She started by sautéing the garlic, onion, and tomato.

06:09 Then she added the alugbati leaves.

06:11 Let's stir it well for 3 to 5 minutes.

06:18 We can also add soy sauce.

06:21 Once the water boils, we can turn off the heat.

06:26 And don't overcook the leaves.

06:29 Here's our stir-fried alugbati.

06:34 To complete her lunch, she also garnished it with plantain.

06:40 And here's the stir-fried leaves of alugbati.

06:43 It's nutritious and cheap.

06:47 Vegetables and fruits are definitely nutritious.

06:49 But a nutritionist dietitian said that

06:53 not only vegetables and fruits are healthy,

06:56 but our body is also healthy.

06:59 It's also possible to have a nutrient deficiency

07:02 due to a lack of vitamins or minerals in the body

07:06 that can be obtained from animal-based foods.

07:10 That's why it's better to have a balanced diet.

07:15 And remember, in a plant-based diet,

07:17 it's not just vegetables and fruits.

07:20 We have plant-based sources of protein,

07:24 like beans, peas, lentils, and other legumes,

07:28 some nuts, and seeds.

07:30 So if you're going to add those to your diet

07:32 and you don't want to eat meat or other animal-based protein,

07:37 it's okay to add those plant-based protein sources.

07:44 But the most important thing before trying any diet,

07:47 consult an expert first.

07:49 It's better to consult a registered nutritionist dietitian

07:54 before trying a diet or even a plant-based diet.

08:00 It can be done by everyone.

08:02 But if you have a disease or have a pregnancy,

08:05 or breastfeeding, or are in the developmental stage,

08:09 like teenagers and our children,

08:13 consult a health care professional

08:17 to avoid nutrient deficiencies.

08:20 Aside from weight loss,

08:23 a diet that's good for our body and health should be our priority.

08:29 We want to establish a good relationship with food.

08:34 That means we don't restrict food or food groups,

08:39 but we add high-nutrient foods.

08:43 We want our diet to be sustainable,

08:46 no matter where we go or what occasion we're on.

08:49 A diet should be individualized, meaning no diet fits all.

08:53 If a diet works for someone else,

08:57 it's not guaranteed that it will work for you.

09:00 That's why we need to consult a health care professional.

09:05 Health care doesn't have to be expensive.

09:09 Because food is nutritious,

09:11 we can easily get it from our grocery store.
