Hi, I’m Liz, and I’m on a health and fitness journey. As of the time of filming this video, I’ve lost 127 pounds. I created this YouTube channel to share the recipes I’ve been making in my kitchen while on this journey. All my recipes are Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) and made without oil or refined sugar.
If you want to know when I post a new recipe please hit “subscribe” so we can be friends! This would mean a lot to me and my new channel 🙂
You can also find me on Instagram at @fitlizkitchen where I post what I eat daily, progress pics, and more and you can find free recipes and more (new recipes every week!) at https://fitlizkitchen.com/
