Welcome to the Fit Vegan Podcast! In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Jeremy LaLonde—an award-winning filmmaker who made a major shift to a whole food plant-based lifestyle and lost nearly half his body weight in the process. We talk about what sparked the change, how he got started in the kitchen, and how that journey led to creating content that now helps others do the same. Jeremy shares practical tips, mindset shifts, and lessons learned from building healthy habits while juggling family life and work. If you're looking for down-to-earth inspiration, this one’s for you.

In This Episode, We Cover: 

[00:00–10:20] Jeremy’s plant-based transformation story — from filmmaker to health advocate, and how changing what he ate changed everything.

[10:21–21:37] The ups and downs of weight loss, the importance of having support at home, and how to navigate change as a family.

[21:38–36:09] Getting started in the kitchen, making plant-based cooking approachable, and why perfection isn't required to make progress.

[36:10–55:41] How Jeremy balances meals, finds inspiration in cookbooks, and his favorite go-to recipes for staying on track during busy weeks.

[55:42–01:02:30] The power of community in living plant-based, the value of showing up consistently, and advice for anyone starting later in life.

Key Quotes

"Progress, not perfection. Make the best choice you can make in the moment you're in and just be kind to yourself. You're not always gonna be perfect. It's not about being perfect. It's about making the best choice you can make at any given moment." -Jeremy.

"I think it's a reoccurring theme amongst people that have had successfully transformed is to be kind to yourself because everyone that has done it knows how hard it is and knows how much harder it is if you beat yourself up along the way."-Maxime.
