Kyrsten lost 50 pounds. Her passion for fighting climate change and global warming fueled her motivation for switching to a plant-based diet.

What was your motivation? What inspired you to keep going, even when you wanted to give up?

My workout routines include 30 minutes of home workout videos on YouTube and a 30-minute walk six days a week.

No surgery 

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?

What advice do you have for women who want to lose weight?
Be consistent and target your eating habits every time they spiral out of control. Ask yourself, “Why am I eating this? How does this make me feel?” Replace eating with something that uplifts you, something that you enjoy.
