Summary

My guest today is Kiki Nelson, but you may know her best as Plantiful Kiki. Her book, Plantifully Lean is turning heads, but what turned my attention to Kiki was her transparent health and weight loss journey.

As a young adult, Kiki struggled with her weight and suffered all of the ill consequences as a result - high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, hormonal imbalances, lack of energy - and none of this was optimal for a young Mom of two active children.

Two things really moved the needle for Kiki - and they are the cornerstone of the work she does today. She found simple whole food, plant-based nutrition and did (and still does) a lot of work around self-compassion, forgiveness, and self-love.

The results? In a little over a year, she lost 70 pounds and reversed those lifestyle diseases that were only going to progress. It’s a remarkable story of someone willing to believe that they are worth the work and she shares that work with all of us.

Rip and Kiki discuss:

The ups and downs of yo-yo dieting
What turned Kiki onto plant-based nutrition
The lecture from Jeff Novick that changed everything for her
Why she loves carbs and doesn’t avoid them
How she divides her plate for optimum nutrition and satiety
The way she cooks as a Mom of two
How she leaned into self-love and compassion in her journey
Why she wrote Plantifiully Lean and is so transparent on social media about her weight loss journey
A few of the “Firefighter-approved” recipes she created from her book.

Today, you can find her on her social media channels dishing up plenty of recipes and inspiration, and you can find her book Plantifully Lean on bookshelves now.
