What I Wish I Knew Before Going Vegan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- After 10 years of being vegan and whole food plant-based for the majority of the time, I have learned quite a lot. It can be very difficult to change the way you eat and live especially when it comes to a healthy, whole food plant-based lifestyle. That is why I want to share with you what I learned through trial and error, so you don't have to.

#vegan #healthy
I started eating WFPB 6 years ago when I was 64-years old. Although I ate relatively healthy before, I still ate chicken, fish and cheese. It's never too late to make a change for your health. I teach 14 classes of yoga every week and take no medications. I feel great!!!
You are doing my goal. Keep eating WFPB and exercising, particularly doing yoga. I hope to accomplish that lifestyle. I am 67 and my WFPB eating has been a 4 year work in progress although, this last year has been by far much better. I'm invigorated by your post. Thank you 🥰
So inspiring. I’m 53 and I so agree - it’s never too late!
@@echomcnutt1502I’m so curious about yoga. So far walking and rowing are my main exercise sources. I really like what I hear about yoga. Low impact!
I started eating WFPB back in late 2016-17 because of digestive issues and gave up meat & dairy. My workout regime is parlay between Pilates or yoga and strength training… I’m almost 60😊😊❤🔥
@@symone3113 way to go!!! Very inspiring.
14 years vegan, the best thing I've ever done until the end, I live without blood on my hands❤
Thank you! Like the line, "I live without blood on my hands." THAT'S the main point! ❤❤❤
I started being a vegan yesterday. My wife thought it was hilarious. I'm keeping it simple. Oatmeal with fruit for breakfast. Rice with natto and mixed vegetables and half an apple for lunch. Potatoes and spinach for dinner. Today, my wife was livid. She didn't think I was serious. She threw every guilt trip at me that she could. Most of them I could answer with, "You don't have to be a vegan. I want to be one." By dinner time, she had cooked me a dinner of tofu and broccoli covered with ground yam, a sweet potato, the leftover spinach from yesterday and some wakame seaweed salad. "That was a lot of work," she said. I said it was delicious but a simple meal would have been fine. "That's no fun," she said. We'll have to take this one step at a time.
Hello there yes it is not simple. I have the new book of Michael Greger MD How not to age, only around 25 dollar, over 600 pages, fantastic . It is only out for 3 weeks, almost finished it ( English is not my first language, but not difficult to read). It cover more than food. I am sure iy is worth the 25 euro; it wil save you thousands.
@@eddydejagere3411 Thank you for that recommendation. I have watched many lectures of Dr. Greger on UA-cam where he discusses that topic and others. I am already bumping into the "To supplement or not to supplement" controversy. Vitamin b12 is a no brainer, but omega-3 supplementation seems to be quite controversial.
Best wishes on your journey.
It is an adjustment period for both of you. The most important part of it - not to guilt each other about food choices. Your wife needs to understand that she does not need to do anything to accommodate your choice. I told my wife I would cook whatever I needed, and she didn't have to worry about it. I was playing with the recipes, introduced tofu and squash dishes, cool soups. Tofu scramble became a success as well as home made guacamole.
If you are eating a different meal, you should be cooking it
Simplicity = consistency
Couldn’t agree more. I find that my most successful streaks at wfpb are when I eat very simple meals over and over.
@@TinyTony-vo8zt Me, too!!!
I’m new to a plant based. 1 hack we use is to make batches of brown rice, quinoa, barley. Cool them, then put them into a flat gallon baggie. Place that in freezer laying flat. You can then mix and match grains throughout the week without waste. You break off a little bit and microwave it. It really makes building bowls easy.
Oh wow thank you for this great idea!!👍👍
Awesome! We love batch prepping our starches.
I do the same for grains and legumes!
This is a great video. I’ve been eating a whole food plant based diet for over 13 years now and at 71 years old I’m in better health than I was in my twenties. Eating this way does work. No pain, no pills. Keep up the good work.
That's amazing
I've been veggie since '93 and I recall being made fun of by "family" back in the day. I've been vegan, vegetarian, whole-food plant-based and am currently WFPB, again. It's been a struggle to keep the junk out due to my own food issues that started when I was in my teens. It's all a work in progress but boy do I feel my best when I treat my body with respect and cut out the junk and stay the course. I found you guys back in 2020 during the height of Covid and I still stray to the junk here and there and my body/mind quickly remind me that it's not the way to go. As I work on my food issues, I find that I don't stray as much as I used to. I really appreciate this channel and the community (FB, too) for being a source of inspiration and knowledge along my journey.
well said Jennifer thanks for your honesty.
I totally love your rant on #4.....how we didn't get this way by not having turmeric or black cumin seeds!! Love it!!
I have been vegan for 9 years! Keeping it simple is key. I eat the same stuff over and over that I love that are healthy and then I pepper in vegan treats. I don’t sweat it
Been vegan 11 years. First 3 years were hard because I didn't know enough recipes but luckily my kids helped me learn and saved my health ❤❤
Well said and thank you Dillon! I had previously read the 3 books that you have recommended - all eye opening reads. I have been a starchivore (WFPB SOS) for about 1 year now. Thought I was slim and in shape before, but still dropped 20 lbs. I have now lost all craving for the meaty, cheesy, salty "foods" that I used to eat. Your statement about others being threatened by our new, healthy ways of eating is right on. Just by refusing to eat the SAD diet is a rebuke even if we say nothing. Most of my friends, family and colleagues cannot even comprehend that my new food choices are not deprivation, but actually what I prefer to eat and what humans are designed to eat. Occasionally, someone will express real interest in my food choices - I just tell them to watch Forks Over Knives and leave it at that. Keep up the good work!!👍
Forks over Knives, What the Health, and Game Changers. Yes, nice to just direct questions to these great documentaries. I feel I can’t remember enough to adequately convey what I want to share.
@@kathym9322 well said. feel the same!
As corny as it may sounds, a very short cookbook works! We have ten meals that we eat. We just made sure that it's diverse with fruits and vegetables. Breakfast, that a different story. It's pretty much oatmeal and frozen fruits or grits and tofu-eggs. So much time is saved when just looking at a quick meal to make when it's only 1/10 to choose from.
I've been eating WFPB for 5 1/2 years. In the beginning, I read all those doctors books & more. They were eye opening. What I love about your recipes is they use a lot of herbs & spices. It really ramps up the flavor without adding sugar, salt, fat. They're also easy to make. I know what two doctors you're talking about with chopping kale & worrying about squeezing every enzyme out. I actually followed their plans for the first two years. How enlightening to come across your channel! You saved my sanity!
Their is nothing wrong with added salt
@@calebwert1057 There always has to be one person to give an unformed response.
Dr. Michael Greger, who I love and follow quite a bit, as well as read his "How Not to Die" book (great read, by the way). He is the doctor who tells you to chop your kale and then let it sit for an hour. I'm totally with Dillon on his suggestions about not worrying about such things. But here's what I do. If I am making, oh, say a big pot of stew, and it calls for kale, as well as many other veggies, I will indeed chop the kale first, because by the time I finish chopping and dicing all the other items, it'll be about an hour by then. I'll do stuff like that, because it's not an inconvenience. Now if I was making something that only called for kale to be chopped (I know, play along with me here😆 ), then I wouldn't chop it and let it sit; I'd use it right away. Dillon is giving great tips here! 👍
Yes I love that Dillon often points out that without added salt, food often needs more spice than you would think.
I made the decision to become a vegan in 1968 - fifty five years ago. Never looked back. Never had a craving for a burger or a steak… I’m an slender 77 year old guy now - married to a 45 year old woman (also a vegan!) *It’s a good decision for some ppl… I strongly recommend it. Try it for twenty one days - see how you feel… Best wishes to you!
For some it can be devastating especially since vegan isn't about diet.
@@abhayagarwal5097 What do you mean exactly, what are you talking about?
Dillon, I cried real tears (in a good way) near the end of this video. Your passion and clarity is so wonderful, and helpful. Thank you so much ! Keep on keeping on !! You really understand and explain how challenging it can be for us to make these healthy changes, and how important it is to have support so we can keep on track.
Your Recipe Amneisia hit a cord and I downloaded your Mealrotator. What an ingenious...and simple... concept! For me, another key was to find the flavorings I really loved. I don't need a grocery store full of every herb and spice. Just the ones i love and use repeatedly. Thanks, Dillon!
These chats are fabulous, and so helpful. A sense of community is a great thing to talk about, because it’s a vital piece of the puzzle. I have made wonderful friends in the digital WFPB world 🌍. Nobody eats like me in my life.
‘Your family will turn on you’ line made me laugh out loud 😂. I love Dillon’s sense of humour 😊
OMG yes, nobody eats like us!! This is especially front and center a couple days before Thanksgiving. I’m so grateful for channels like this one.
Love everything about you and Well Your World!! Products are a great easy health short cuts. Thank you!
I live in a multi-generational home and am the only one that wants to be plant based. I kept trying recipes and repeated the ones that I liked and were simple. because of the family having the items I don’t want to eat in the pantry and the fridge, I find I need to have a mental path for food prep worked out ahead of time and some items in the fridge pre-made. Pre-grated and chopped vegetables and dressings are really helpful. When I stray, I make sure to get back to wfpb as soon as possible. Listening to wfpb channels like this one helps me keep going. My eating is far better now, than 2 years ago. Thank you for your work. Your recipes and attitude to keep meals simple have helped.
I’ve also been WFPB for ten years. I’ve read all the books you mentioned and learned so much.
We just started plant based after reading "Eat to Live" by Dr Fuhrman. Glad we found your channel for trips and tricks.
Love the idea of the recipe cards on the fridge.
Gluten free vegan for 7 years. I’m so lazy plus I don’t like cooking. I end up eating fruit in the morning, salad at lunch and steamed vegetables for dinner. On weekends when I’m not so busy with my full time as well as part time jobs, I do try some vegan recipes. I agree with not having junk food in the house. (way too tempting)
I find that if I buy a variety of nuts, fruits, veggies, and whole grains I can come up with something tasty and healthy for all our meals. I rarely use recipes, just see what I have and come up with some concoction. Been vegetarian for 40 years, plant based for the last 10. I’m aging but am healthy and spry.
I have been plant-based for over 25 years. I'm always still looking for new recipes new ideas support all that that goes along with being and eating healthy. This channel Will give you all the information and support you need to change your unhealthy life into a happy and prosperous healthy life❤
Thank you so much for your passion and commitment!
You're doing great work, Dillon. Thank you so much. I've been following your videos after having read the authors and doctors you mention.
This was the first video of yours I have watched and I literally just EXHALED! It went right to the core of the anxiety I’m having about whether I can do this or not. And because of recent test results, I know I MUST do it! Thank you so much for your calm, sensible approach! I feel like I was just thrown a lifeline. Instantly subscribed and will be joining the FB group. Infinite love and gratitude 🙏🏽💖
Thrilled to have you. Yes we are all like you, you summed it up perfectly.
WOW! Thank you, Dillon. So much on point that I need to hear over and over to keep me going in the right direction in this new (for me) journey!
I just love you guys!! You keep me so inspired while I am the only one in my life who lives this lifestyle. Dillon and Reebs, THANK YOU so very much for your content💞
Hello you lovely people and 2 lil adorable boys!! 👨👩👦👦🤗💕
Sooo great that your speaking on "vegan junkfood". Its frightening how caught up i was in all that in the beginning. Full of salt #1 and totally unhealthy. Now with Tofu,Chickpeas,blackbeans😋 and Lentils i can make a slew of good stuff!! Through in some greens and WELLAH!! great healthy meals.
Learning alot from you and Reebs.
Thank you
Debi in California 🙋♀️⚘
I am so fortunate in that I lost my taste and smell in 2019. Since then I lost 42 pounds. It took me a half year to realize..HEY! What am I doing? This is the perfect opportunity to fight my obesity! It has been a journey. I have tried it all! I did best counting calories. But am fighting illness. Fibromyalgia, degenerative spine disease, arthritis. I need healing. I tried Carnivore..😝lasted two days on that. Then I wanted dense foods..did that..then came Thanksgiving. That was the catalyst for me. After that day I just wanted vegetables. And here I am..day 5. You are very entertaining. I am new here but not new to vegan vegetarian or raw. I have done it all. So I am back. Trying to heal so I can avoid becoming the bionic spine and hips. Its crazy, but day five and I got out of bed so easily it shocked me! I can't wait to see how I do on day 31! ❤
I support you, especially after seeing such fast progress. 👍
Thank you! I could stand up and cheer!!!
I use spices, ginger root, lime or lemon juice etc. to get flavor (replacing salt and oil). It is fun for me to learn spice blends from cuisines from around the world ( which also gets me to eat larger variety of plants and mushrooms).
Man, this video couldn't have come at a better time. I find myself struggling to stay on track during the holidays
Thank you so much for your time and knowledge❤️
Thanks for your honesty Dillon!
I like this guy's vibe. Love the uplifting comments. I've been 100% plant-based myself for the last 6 yrs. WFPB for about the last 3 yrs. I agree totally. It's very difficult to "stay on the wagon" so to speak. If I were on FB I'd certainly join your group.
This is really good information, thank you. I had some problems when I started, basically drinking diet soda was the big one. I moved to tea.
I remember losing a lot of weight and some hair, and I probably could’ve eaten a little bit more and watched my nutrients better but now I’m like a hawk on the nutrients and if anything I can gain weight too much.
Congratulations on 10 years being vegan and healthy. I am at almost 7. I watch the videos for new information and reminders and motivation. mcdougall has a channel I watch regularly
Yes agree, keep our diets simple, quick and easy. Iv been an ethical and healthy active vegan for nearly 12 yrs now and at nearly 69 yrs old take no supplents or meds. I have regular health check ups and feel better now than i did in my twenties thirties and forties. I eat a breakfast every morning of porridge with fresh fruits, nuts and seeds and its my favorite meal of the day. My afternoon meal is steamed fresh veg, beans, and pasta or rice in the summer months, and veggie casseroles in the winter. The hours in between these main meals i snack on jam on toast and tea or coffee and bottled water. I gave up smoking in my early fifties im glad to say, and keep fit and active by getting out most days or doing gentle exercise to music which iv always loved. Living simply and modestly is how i love to live and it can only be enjoyed when feeling mentally and physically fit and well.
I love how you treat this like an addiction recovery. It is. It took years of sticking to a healthy diet before my brain rewired itself to produce an appropriate dopamine rush from eating healthy foods, and eliminating highly addictive foods.
I also love how the focus isn't on demonizing animal products or dairy or the environment or greenhouse gas. But instead focusing on the fact that eating a vegetable diet makes us healthier and ultimately feel better. That especially important for families with children. Every time I hear someone say I should eat vegan/vegetarian for the environment, I want to scream. People don't put the environment above their children's welfare, and they shouldn't. The focus must be that this is healthier for children, environment be damned.
The environment is important for the children as well!
@@sschreck08 Having an unpolluted, non-toxic environment is certainly important as is having clean, healthy food.
However asking someone to sacrifice a child's health by only feeding them food that has low greenhouse gas impact, for example, would only create violent opposition, and would be stupid, IMO. The greenhouse gas impacts on the planet of one family, even a million families, would not be measurable.
But the health benefit of replacing processed, ultra-palatable food including red meat, with healthy starches and vegetable and fruits would be huge to the child. That's why I like the message from this channel.
You're right, I don't put the environment above my children's health. It has equal importance because what good is a healthy diet if the environment isn't healthy also?
@@Kayte... Yes. The thing is I can't get past the knowledge that whether or not I, or even a million families like mine, decide to eat animal products, will make no measurable difference on the earth's, or even my local, environment.
However what I feed our children can have a direct and huge impact on their health.
Thank you for your "rants" So helpful to bring me back to reality and simplicity!
Thank you for such a heartfelt message ☺️🙏🏼
Making it so simple for so many of us with your wonderful videos and tips..💚💚
Thanks for this!
Thank you! I appreciate you sharing your experiences so honestly, I can definitely relate. The struggle (esp when no one else around you is doing anything similar) is real.
I’m 52, and I am going to begin WFPB. Your channel has been huge for me. I’ve given myself a week to plan, and I start this new lifestyle 2/3/24. Looking forward to this.
You got this!
Good luck and keep trying! Change isn’t one step or flipping a switch. It is many small steps and takes a long time. Make this your goal and keep going.
Dillon, you are so passionate! Yup do make a difference with all your recipes and tips. Have you ever shared the story of why you chose to go vegan?
I love healthy plant based. NOW I'M EATING HPB
Thanks , Dillon. Good info for newbies and more seasoned WFPB folks alike. I’m 2.6 years in and have never been tempted to eat any other way. For me it’s all about my commitment and attitude toward healthy eating.
Happy to hear it Carol!
Awesome video, will share with my patients/clients (I'm a WFPB health coach and future WFPB/Lifestyle med doc, like some of the ones you mentioned!). Although I agree with not focusing on nutrient chasing and overcomplications (especially for beginners), as a more advanced and "sciency" WFPB eater, I do appreciate and implement these aspects as best I can, I see it as a fun challenge but it doesn't throw me off and I know it'll help me be even healthier! I do share some of these main tips esp with the more experienced folks, plus a lot of it is simple, like combining Turmeric and Black Peppper, Eating salads with some healthy fats for better phytonutrient absorption, the Sulforaphane trick you mentioned (chopping crucifers and leaving out for 30 min before cooking to activate Sulforaphane), but another trick is combining cooked with fresh, or adding some mustard seeds. Some of these are more simple than others, but I make sure people know to not let it throw them off course, but just see it as something they can do to optimize their health even more when they are ready and at more advanced stages of eating WFPB, since it will only help them be healthier! Anyway, thanks for everything as usual, you guys are in my top 5 WFPB UA-camr list that I recommend to patients/clients, family, friends, colleagues, etc.!
The daily dozen is a great guideline. I have found it helpful.
Today 3wks 4days following the lifestyle of a Proper Vegan, I felt better after the third day, so I will continue learning new recipes to keep my palette happy and my heart healthy. Thanks for this video, and, yes! Let's keep it nice and simple😉
Great job and keep up the good work!! You will find that you made a good decision to start down this path.
I had to go vegan gluten free after a tick bite I cannot eat meats, dairies, or gluten gluten makes me swell up and my joints hurt I can hardly walk. I just cannot eat meat or dairy. I deal with Rickettsia Rickettsii so a whole food plant based diet is honestly the only way to go. I will confess I will eat sweets at the holidays and it really is my weakness. It’s hard my husband is not vegan. I can’t tolerate processed foods. On a more positive note, my asthma was cured as long as I eat clean and no gluten asthma doesn’t bother me at all. This is my new channel! I did the thanksgiving stew your last video oh my gosh it was so good. I try and I struggle with sweets during the holidays. I used to decorate cakes, and I had a candy catering business. So it’s hard people ask me to still make them candy, cookies, I am so thankful for this channel and the support! You and Reebs are so fun. I like the simplicity of your recipes! Yes family can be so cruel about my diet! It’s hard. Merry Christmas. Wendy🎄⛄
Thank you very much, and you have beautiful skin!
Love your no nonsense passion Dillon. So glad I found you when I was a newbie 😊
Good idea on the recipe cards.
Im just starting out....have been trying to start for years!!! I work 2am/3am AND at a grocery store!! So bad!! Smell the bread and donuts baking!! Stock the aisles of crap junk i love😢. You and Reebs have motivated me SO much better!!! I cant seem to find things around here either. So i have decided to go to Sams who offer bulk veggies and just take a day off chopping all my veggies and freeze them. So whe there is too much corn and not enough bell pepper ect. I make my own veggie bags!! I will let you know how i do you guys!! Thank you SO much!! I was recipe freak and really was causing me to not commit!!
I Dillon! I'm here for this! You guys have helped me in so many ways! Love you and Reebs! ❤
Thanks for the great advice. I have tried before. I am trying again.
I found Replace, Reduce or Refuse works well for new people.
Thank you so much for all you do. I was so lucky to find you 6 yrs ago❤
I love how no nonsense your attitude is, and I don't know why but you make me laugh, because I definitely fell in lot of these traps. These tips are gold - thankyou!
Looking to get back into WFPB. I remember loving my simple lunches of rice and two bags of steamed veggies, and even the daily smells from my coworkers ordering fried this and pizza that didn't discourage me (the smells actually made me sick to my stomach). Two things happened: My doc told me I had to stop eating tomatoes (my most favorite food and a daily breakfast staple) and someone guilted me into accepting a trigger food and I ate it like a chump. I have work to do. Thanks for the spark to get back on the horse.
Nailed it Dillon!! #4 rant was awesome!!!
5 years vegan on December 26 this year. WFPB predominantly, and it's the best, easiest, and most sustainable decision I've ever made for my personal health. I would not change a thing. And yes indeed, I NEVER bring it up in social settings, yet always find myself having a conversation about it with someone who does bring it up. Thanks! And I need to try some of your stuff!
Dec 26th is a very interesting day to go vegan. Congrats on your success!! I used to bring it up but learned over time to keep it to myself.😊
I love being a member of the Live Cooking Show! It is a great community 🤩
We are glad to have you Karen!
So true! Whole fresh foods is key! Also pre packaged sugar, this still triggers me. Thank you Dillion
I've been vegan for 40 years. For the first 20 years I was still using oil. Then I discovered Dr. McDougall, and eliminating oil made a big difference for me. Going to strictly whole foods and no processed foods has also made a difference in how I feel. Even after alll of this time, I'm still learning. I recently found out I was low in iodine, and switched from plain sea salt to iodized sea salt. I was also marginally low in zinc, and added in pumpkin seeds. Now I'm working on Omega-3 EFA without having to use flax seeds, which don't agree with me. These are a few of the things that no one ever tells you. I have ongoing "discussions" with my acupuncturist and alternative healthcare practitioner who insist that I need to eat some meat because I'm not getting enough protein or the right kinds of fat. It's hard to stand your ground with some of these folks. That's why I appreciate people like Dillon who provide good and reliable information so I can stay on track and not get sidetracked by those who don't believe in a WFPB diet.
Takes a little time to work out the little parts that have to be customized to our own body’s needs. But once you have it figured out, it mostly works for life. Love it.
Thank you so very much. Love y’all
This was an amazing Video! You make it so simple.
I needed to hear this. I try to do things so perfectly. This is a new journey for me and I keep failing. 😊
You got this! Remember to keep it simple!
Thank you for this! ❤
❤Love your passion!
Love the garlic rock tip!
Great video, thanks!
Instapot has made my plant life more simple!
We use ours all the time, it is great
So inspiring 🎉🎉🎉🥹
Thank you.
Thanks for this video, Dillon. I have been trying to eat a plant-based diet since July. And, I’m doing okay, but I could be much better. I just submitted a request to join the FB group. 😊
Here to support! ❤
I thank you for this video. I am a new at this 3 months in actually and I have been going crazy worrying about nutrients...Im so excited and happy I found your channel
Yes, I talk about that topic a lot. Glad you found us!
And Thank You.
I love Dillon & Reebs. Learned about them from Chef AJ. Well Your World products are great! Plus watching Dillon on You Tube is so funny!
You guys have TRULY found your purpose in life (one of them, ofcourse). You are so good at what you do! It’s needed and you do it well! So well, I can hardly believe it sometimes, and my good fortune, as well as everyone’s good fortune.
Grateful. And I’m sure I speak for thousands of others as well. 👍
What a nice compliment, thank you so much Kathy!
Love your honesty
I like this guy. Eating should be like that- simple simple, simple, simple and yet extraordinarily powerful and beautiful.
Absolutely not the diet for me but I respect you talking about diet and human health.
The testimonies in your comments section show that this way of eating really works for some people.
Nice presentation style too.
Love. Love. Love. Me a plant rant. Keep them coming and keep everything simple. It makes this lifestyle so much sustainable.
I make easy, tasty recipes that happen to be vegan. People love them. Thanks for all the great recipes. ❤
Thanks Dillon... love your common sense approach!
Thank you
Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!
I’m new here and love your channel! Great people! :)❤
I have been vegan since 2006. If I hadn’t done vegan for the animals I would have quit veganism - not because vegan food isn’t healthy and delicious, but because of the constant pressure society exerts on us all to eat more meat, cheese, eggs, etc. At first, I too was very sickly because I discovered all the vegan junk foods. After about 18 months I decided to get educated by following Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s recommendations. And I have enjoyed superior health ever since. But most importantly, despite being constantly pressured to eat animal foods, I have been able to live according to my conscience and my values of compassion for the last 17 years! I have been able to live authentically. THIS is what whole-foods plant-based eating has done for me.
As much as I adhered to the eating plan since the early 80s, I still fell off the wagon from time to time. I was in one of those times when I found you. You have helped me get and stay on track, and love it. Love these tips. Thank you. Lynn
so glad you found us lynn!
Glad you are back on track Lynn. It’s amazing how easy it is to backslide into the old addiction. I’ve done the same from time to time.
Love you Dillon & Reebs! ❤️
I have been plant based for 3 years and my digestion and health is soooooooo much better. I occasionally have a treat but I don’t have it in the house either. Love your you tubes!!!
Great vid dude spot on as always ❤ love the channel brilliant content 😊Pete
Dillion you have the BEST and honest no bullshit info! Love this UA-cam channel👊👊👊👊👊
🌿🌷🌿 YES!!! I agree !!
Totally!
I’m trying to do this whole food plant-based again. My issue is I now have an auto immune disease in certain foods put me into a flare. And sure enough they’re all vegetables not all vegetables, but the foods that flare me are veggies. Oh and beans …. I LOVE beans but no way can I eat them. I’m trying to work around them …. Love your channel !
You may be interested in checking out "Goodbye Lupus" with Dr Goldner. She's healed many people of autoimmune illnesses, including herself. Yes, she is vegan.
That's how I started WFPB..1 meal at a time then 1 day..now up to 7 days of it....I said it before eggs are my downfall..1 day a wk 2 eggs. I'm working on it. Thanks for such great simple recipes & products.
Nice, the important thing is you’re not saying eggs are healthy to try and justify eating them. You’re just admitting they are hard to give up. Honest
My downfall was cheese, took me a year to fully leave it behind and not miss it. That was 9 years ago.
