Mom Lost 70 Pounds Thanks to These 6 Daily Plant-Based Meals
If you love fruit and veggies and want to lose weight, one expert claims to have mastered the perfect weight loss diet. Kiki Nelson is a mom, wife, and plant-based health enthusiast. She lost 70 after adopting a plant-based diet, which also reduced her risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. In a brand new viral video, she revealed everything she eats in a day that helped her lose weight and keep it off. "I lost 70 pounds naturally and have been keeping it off for years," she says, going on to detail her diet and a few health habits that help her stay fit.
Meal One: A Big Bowl of Water Melon
Kiki starts her day with fresh fruit. "Here is what I started with this morning. I had some fresh watermelon, which I am still able to find at Costco here in Colorado. It has been so good," she says in her post, showing off a huge bowl of ripe melon cut up into bite-sized pieces.
She Straightens Up Her House
She moves on with her morning routine. "Then I straightened up. I made my bed. I make my bed every single day. I just feel like it's the right way to start my day. Then I got onto some of the projects I have been working on around the homestead," she says.
Meal Two: Autumn Fruit Bowl
She is ready for another meal! "Then I moved on to what I like to call my second breakfast with all these gorgeous autumn fruits," she says. "I had this big autumn bowl with pears and pomegranate and oranges and grapes. It was so good."
Meal Three: Falafel Bowl with Veggies
Her next meal is a delicious Mediterranean-inspired dish. "For lunch, I made my raw Cava bowl with my raw falafel and my lemon herb tahini dressing, which is so good. This recipe will be in my raw 10-Day Jumpstart Guide," she reveals. The bowl consists of homemade falafel, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion.

Exercise: Walking
Despite her busy schedule, Kiki makes sure to get her steps in. "I had to run down to the city about 40 minutes away for my daughter's practice," she said. Instead of sitting around, she used the time to get fit and walk her dog. "While she practiced, nacho and I walked for about an hour," she says.
Meal Four: Dragon Fruit and Grapes
She was ready for another snack when she got back. "When we got home, I had some of this yellow dragon fruit, which is my favorite of all the dragon fruits, and some green grapes," she says.
Sauna
Now, it is time for a little heat therapy. "Then I got in my regular sauna session," she continued. Should you take a dry sauna? While some claim the health benefits of saunas are plentiful, including detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation, there isn't a lot of research backing up the claims.

Meal Five: Japanese Nourish Bowl
For dinner, she has a bowl filled with rice, greens, and root veggies. "I made the Japanese Nourish Bowl out of my newest weight loss guide and cookbook, Plantifully Simple, which is in stores and still $10 off on Amazon," she says.
Meal Six: Popcorn
Instead of a sweet treat, she opts for a savory final snack at night. "I finished the day with some popcorn and watched the Anne of Green Gables Show with my youngest," she says. And if you enjoyed this article, take advantage of these 15 Quick Ways to Lose Body Fat Percentage in a Week.
