I was already a vegetarian when my mom died of colon cancer. The last time I saw her, I decided I was never going to eat anything that didn't come from the ground or a tree. No one's perfect, but I think at 82, I can say that I can attribute some good health reports to the high fiber diet. Plant based for the win.
I'm 40 years vegan and at 60 years old, feel amazing. I moved to florida to support my mom on her journey back to health. She was dying in the hospital from 4 major cronic illnesses. Heart desease, diabetes, hign blood pressure and whole body infections, kidney failure. At 83, the doctors didn't feel she had a good chance to last another year. After 3 months plant based and nutrient dense with daily exercise, she is reversing all her major illnesses. a total 180. It takes a lot of hard work and support to change so drastically. IT REALLY WORKS. Go Plant Based with nutrient dense foods. Move your body joyfully and stay positive with love. And life will return.
My mother was given 5 months to live. Took her off meats and her regular diet. I put her on beans and vegetables. She lived 5 more years. Died at the age of 90.
A little over three years since I switched over to a whole food plant based vegan lifestyle, I lost forty five pounds, off viagra and blood pressure medications, lowered my cholesterol and triglycerides levels and cured myself of sleep apnea.
This is amazing to hear! I really wpukd love to get my spouse on this but he is still stuck on the protein "kick." He has gained alot of weight since covid and developed sleep apnea. I unfortunately know he sneaks things here and there. Not alot but still I am concerned for his health. He is trying but again its the keto bs he does. Keto messed up my microbiome in so many eays and I paid for it and still am. I am almost completely plant based but do have eggs and chicken here and there. Maybe fish every once in awhile. Happy that you were able to drop lbs and all of those meds. So great!
loved the way you had to mention" off viagra". hahahah..good man,,, i think one of the best ways to get men into plant based nutrition is to brand this that way. haha
I'm only plant based about two weeks .. came from a diet of ready meals ,highly processed meat , supermarket pizzas ,red bull and loads of dairy. Always had brain fog. Woke up exhausted even after a good night's sleep. I was irritable and constantly tired and felt depressed . Now I literally feel like a new person. Full of stable energy ,clarity of mind and just feel bloody amazing. Never going back
@@cassyj6595 Question is, does it sustain? Also does it age us, and make us winkle faster, there is also downside to anything, iam 3 weeks in, I also feel lots energy, but they say its just beginning phase
@@partlysimpson5154well, have a look at the doc being interviewed… he is in his 40s. Seems to be working nicely for him. Also have a look at some of the videos where Chuck tells about his weight loss and health reclamation journey… I think he has been whole food plant based for about 15 years now.
I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar oil or salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
I lost 15lbs in just my first month on a plant-based diet. In six months I was down a total of 40lbs; triglycerides went from 190 to 69; total cholesterol from 225 to 175 (I'm hoping that goes down some more); and no more signs of chronic inflammation. I am nearing my 41st birthday and I feel better than I did at 18!

You rock!! I have almost that much to lose. Tried keto...gained 10 pounds in three months. I am a newbie to this, but have given away all my bacon and a lot of other meat...and it's the good stuff - pastured, non-gmo, etc. You are my inspiration!!
@@granddaddyofthemall6320 No, in general I don't. I've never had fake cheese, I tend to have my beverages black and although I've tried soya chunks I can live without them. Certainly I avoid processed where possible and that seems to have crushed the cravings.
@@granddaddyofthemall6320 There's no such thing as fake milk?! Nut milk is milk?! It also comes without the pus and mucus that's in animal based milks, so that is most definitely a plus!!
Today is day 29 for me. 30 days ago I was on the DAD (Deadly American Diet). That's the same as the SAD (Standard American Diet) but just a more accurate acronym. 29 days ago I started eating a 100% produce-only, whole foods, plant-based diet. Fruit and greens, beans, seeds, nuts, legumes and vegetables. If it comes in a box or a bag, was manufactured or processed in any way, if there is literally more than one ingredient on the label, I have not consumed it. And I went from chicken wings, pizza, cheeseburgers, fish, pasta (almost exclusively from ordering from DoorDash and restaurant food only) to 100% prepared meals at home. By the end of week one I was sicker than I had ever been in my life. My guts were ON FIRE, but the worst symptom of all was I literally could not walk. I had to fight to get out of a chair. I had ZERO energy. I questioned what I was doing and considered perhaps I had made a mistake going "full retard" (from the film Tropic Thunder do don't get triggered). But I stuck it out. By the end of week two I was just about to cash in and call it a day and eat some "real food". I hung on just a few more days and the it happened...a 180 degree turn around in how I felt. I got up (almost 2 weeks of total insomnia by the way) and a feeling of calm and well-being came over me that I had no felt since I was a teenager 35 years ago. It is night and day. I went from no energy to having more than I had on the DAD by a factor of 10. My mind is 1000 times quicker and sharper. I am NEVER giving up this feeling. Clearly I just went though a full on detox like no other. Other than maybe a water only fast, this is the best way to detox. All the massive amount of vital energy it take to cope with a poor diet is suddenly freed up and your body goes...holly shit! Now we can use some of this vital energy to clean up some of the debris and injury and illness that has been looming but we (my body's cells) didn't have available. This is known as "the law of vital economy" and its our bodies way of triaging what is in our best interest first..."worst first" kind of thing...but go from chemicals in your diet and processed foods and oils and refined sugars to pure, low calorie, high nutrient density foods and BAMM! Tons of energy to clean house, make repairs and get back to joy. If I can do this...ANYONE can do this. I have lost 18 pounds in 28 days. I want to lose another 20 or so...but I'll let my body decide what my ideal weight is. I'll start a B12 and EPA/DHA supplement in the near future. For now: only drink is water (never a pre-made drink - which is food by the way) no fragmented foods (like making orange juice and removing the pulp which helps slow the absorb glucose metabolisn and prevent spikes) water saute only (oil-free life from now on - oil is 120 calories for table spoon regardless of what type it is and has zero nutritional value and is pro-inflammatory) lots of greens and colorful vegetables, beans, etc. And 45 min. of balls to the wall high intensity exercise (like weight/resistance/pull ups/push ups etc.) or 90 min. a day of light and easy exercise (like fast walking). I am BORN AGAIN and feel 15 years old. Hardest month of my life. But if you're going to make a change don't do it half assed...DO IT RIGHT. VINCIT QUI SE VINCIT!
Add some starches is great too! Brown rice. Quinoa. All natural whole grains. Works the same and gives more options. ALL natural fully intact grains are great for everything
I have been plant based 33 days now, I love green beans they taste amazing. I hated green beans, and now things taste so much better. I believe changing microbes in the gut does change our taste buds.
22 years vegan this year. I also eliminated all processed food when I went vegan (the term WFPB didn’t exist back then). I am still thriving. Sailed through the menopause naturally with hardly any issues (a few, mild hot flushes) and am still very active and energetic 😀. Listen to Dr Desmond, he is an excellent doctor
Same here. Menopause just went by. My mum and my grandma both had a terrible time, so it's not in the family. When I was young and a vegetarian I had PMS and monthly cramps. Not drinking milk was a major step.
@@whitechocolate2811 you’re right. And there are tons of videos on that subject of unhealthy Vegans. That’s why they call the diet “WHOLE FOODS, PLANT BASED”. There is nothing whole about a damn Oreo 😂
@@msgoodman92all vegan diets are unhealthy long term. Vegan diet is a fast, simply by the exclusion of animal foods. Someone can eat nothing but vegan donuts for a month and expect the same beneficial outcomes as someone eating just WFPB. A WFPB diet has zero nutrition. If your meal doesn’t contain animal foods, you’re fasting.

It's true..in a month my blood pressure went from being 150/105 on average to 110/78 now and that's taking my blood pressure after moving around. Absolutely amazing that a plant based diet can do this and meds couldn't
My partner and l made the switch at the end of March 2021 still going and l have lost 8 pounds so far it’s May,2021. We bought dropped weight. Not taking my BP medication anymore. Skin is brighter less acne and hair growth it was falling out by the handful. This is my second attempt the last time l dropped from size 22 to size 14 dress size on a plant based diet. It’s different this time eating for health not just weight loss. Everything l eat is medicinal not just food. I have Lupus, high BP, endometriosis , anaemia and fibroids. So the food l put into my system is designed to manage the affects of those illnesses. I am a Stroke survivor of 5 years. So l had to make the change. 🎓❤️🤗👏🏾👏🏾

I had Chylothorax Ascites Thrombosis Pneumonia I have started eating plant based too but I use a little diary products May I know your age??? I am 31 I have thyroid Endiometrosis Lost my Baby too After the C section all these started
I’m now vegan and gluten free due to finding out I have extensive endometriosis that is also all over my bowel. Really praying my body will heal from the food I am taking in 🙏🏼
I’m 12 years post kidney transplant. I haven’t eaten meat in 2 years. I weigh what I’m supposed to weigh and my blood labs are all normal. Life comes from plants. 🤙✌️
When I used to animals my hair never grew, it was always above shoulder length, I was always taking care of it, but it never grew!🥺 but when I became vegan I reached knee length, I believe it's because of all the nutrients from the veggies, it's crazy! I couldn't be happier❤️🥺 (I also had severe acne, and being vegan fixed my entire face) 😭 I'm so grateful, for real! I used to cry because I went through so many acne treatments and nothing was working! Being vegan was the best thing that has ever happened to me (Sorry if there are some misspellings, I'm still learning English) ❤️(´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
I needed this my hair was falling out and l have alopecia at the back my hair was long but not healthy . So shaved it all off last April and it’s growing back healthier even where the alopecia is. Slow but steady. 🤗

@@dineod6830 did you try a plant-based diet? i'm 60 years old and my hair is at the middle of my back - lots of water will clean up your acne, but plants have a lot of water ..
With study #2, I recently met a very senior UK cardiologist and his knowledge of the impact on diet on heart disease was startlingly slight. He had no knowledge at all of the reversal of heart disease through a wholefood plant based diet. This was a highly committed and knowledgeable physician who prided himself in staying up to date with research. There is something going wrong with the way we are educating and communicating if senior and influential physicians like this are so far behind the curve.
Many Doctors in US are not knowledgeable about nutrition and are only prescribing pills 💊. This is not a good medicine practice and many times it is creating more harm than good. God bless you all
They are stubborn. Doctors aren’t taught how to prevent diseases, they are taught how to ease the symptoms of disease. My husband is a doc so I know. They go through all diseases breathily, They don’t go in depth of what causes that particular disease... they like to say it’s genetics. My was in a hospital with gallstones and when I asked doc why do I have gallstones he couldn’t give me an answer. I asked is it from foods I ate? He said no. He wanted to operate my gallbladder but didn’t know what caused gallstones. My husband doesn’t know either. So while I was in hospital with huge inflammation I did google how to flush gallstones(how to get rid of them) So I found out that I should be fasting and drinking a lot of liquids. So that’s what I did I drank only water, tea, and liquid soup twice in 3days. Then over the weekend I asked if I could go home as I have 2kids and I said I will be back early Monday morning. Doctor said ok but he wanted to do blood test again before I go. Then on Sunday called me while I was home and he said he got good news, inflammation gone and that they are puzzled and want to do a ct scan on Monday. They did a scan and saw that gallstone which caused all the trouble was flushed out. My doctor was very confused, said he had no explanation to that and asked me what have I done. I told him that I stopped eating, I was fasting. So my problem was gone, I could go home and didn’t need operation anymore. Then later I got another problem - under-active thyroid. My doctor didn’t know what caused it. Just told me it’s genetic or could be other causes( but couldn’t explain) and gave me medication. What I wanted to say that doctors don’t get to the root of illness they just treat symptoms. If you want to heal seek advice from dietitian or nutritionist. They did they research.
@@zeroounce8874 that's good to know. I have an inflamed gallbladder, no gallstones, but my gut is telling/asking me to eat more soups. I do find that I feel better if I eat more soups. I think I'll try fasting along with soups to see if inflammation gets down.
They don’t teach them this because medicine is all about making money. If everyone got cured of these common illnesses then drs would go broke. They want us sick. I love the rogue doctors like this who know the truth and educate people on this lifestyle and also live it. Stay healthy.
@@cbird73 I suspect you're in the US, where for-profit medicine results in perverse incentives to keep people sick. In countries with social medicine, sickness is a burden on the health service and on the taxpayer and there is much more incentive to keep people healthy. Especially as the aging population threatens to overwhelm resources. So outside the US, I suspect that it's more of a cultural issue - medicine is a conservative profession and new ideas take time to become accepted - especially if they are perceived as low-tech and unsexy. Boys do like their toys...
I was on 3 BP medicines... three weeks, one got cut in half.. and two weeks later, one got removed entirely... and lost 10 lbs.. technically 35 days.. but... really, it has been an amazing journey
I’m on my 2 week with a plant based diet that Dr Will Bulsiewicz recommends.... I feel great and I’m enjoying the recipes... my son and I will go to a plant based restaurant tonight for dinner.. my son is not plant based yet....
I’m currently in nursing school and it’s shocking to me that we are taught that a healthy diet consists of the daily intake of meat, dairy, eggs and fish. It’s the most frustrating thing ever that I’m expected to teach my future patients this as well! My hope for the future is that more studies like #2 will be done so that the medical sector is properly educated on curing diseases in stead of deceiving their own patients
There will be a class action lawsuit someday that successfully nails healthcare for failing to give patients full information on which to base consent decisions, and failure to warn about consequences of choosing poor nutrition. The healthcare megabiz bankrupting people left n right for avoidable invasive procedures must stop
I worked years on the business office of a GI facility and not only there is no nutrition education, most doctors themselves eat nothing but junk food, drink diet soda! In fact, most of our staff is obese, our nurses specially, very frustrating! I am studying clinical nutrition now, and more frustrated to learn that the literature on nutrition is pretty solid. Unfortunately many doctors are more invested on performing multiple procedures a day as opposed to read the medical literature and referring their patients for nutritional therapy. As a future nurse you can really have an impact though!
After a steady 2 weeks of going Plant Based I made our traditional Italian Easter dinner yesterday with my Sauce / Meatballs & Italian sausage & plain white pasta plain white Italian bread too along with a nice mixed green salad. Well...my belly wasn't very happy later that night. I am preparing my morning Green Smoothie and planning my plant base day and night. This is so informative and insightful TY so very much..Can't wait to get your Book!!
This interview was eye- & ear-candy from start to finish. It is so important to get this message out there. It seems to happen that everything good comes together in a plant based diet. It is over the board healthy, it is compassionate, no animals have to suffer for it, it makes you happy and keeps you moving. What else do you want from a diet? A huge thanks to doctors like Dr. Desmond and not to forget all the other promoters in and out of the medical field, that lead people to a plant-based lifestyle through educating. Thank you very much =)
@Milica Skenderovic, Mag. Pharm. Hi! You might be interested to see my first UA-cam -video, which has English subtitles. it´s about full grains, gluten intolerance and associated autoimmune diseases. The accelerated function of DPP4 -enzyme is associated with weight gain - one more reason why cheese is fattening. Here it is: Osa 3d: WFPBD Täysjyvä. Sis. gluteeni-intoleranssin ja lihavuusepidemian kaivelua. ENGLISH SUBTITLES ua-cam.com/video/1H6iEArfI4U/v-deo.html
I am 35 year old. I used to struggle with my weight I was 82kg and I was called "FAT" by my colleagues, I had to go to gym every other day. 3 years ago I switched to whole food plant based diet, now I am 63kg. The last time I was 63kg was 18 year old!
It's not the Western Diet the issue in itself, it's the modern western eating habits, which I consider 2 different things. Start buying fresh and unprocessed food, balance meals well to get the good amounts of macro and micro, get rid of most sugars and sweeteners, eat only 2 or 3 times a day, never more than that, move and exercise. And at that point all diets are good. Which is best is still under debate and probably depends from person to person (and some foods are probably wrongly demonised). At that point even a whole-bread, grass-fed, veggy-filled hamburger is fine (maybe not every meal). By the way, TMAO is an indicator and not a really strong one, so cycling between different good protocols I think is the best idea.
My parents at 65 and 67 respectively ate almost nothing but lean cuisines diet cokes, snicker bars, potato chips and nuts. They both ate oatmeal or toast for breakfast and had a little fruit daily. I still think that their diet aided in what lead to death of each one. Dad - prostate cancer - aggressive. Mom - 6th stage of Alzheimer's then mysteriously died; (possibly fell and hit her head) while still able to eat and drink.
I became vegan in spring of 2021 . My cholesterol was over 300 and LDL(bad cholesterol) over 200. I am in my early 40’s and my primary doctor suggested putting me on statin. I asked to start Whole plant base foods no oils as well for 90 days. I lost 18 lbs in first month and after 90 days my cholesterol dropped to 180 and LDL is 200. Still vegan and loving it. Be persistent 👍❤️
Back to WFPB for the last 2 weeks and my BP went from 128/84 11/1/23(which is around where it had been running the last year) to this morning being 105/78(which is around what it been for the last week!) 👍👍
I'm on 30 days;. Everything has gotten extremely better! I have deal with depression all my life; Feeling much more of a positive attitude! I have gastrics acid reflux for 10 years; all getting better! Lost 20 lbs
But you eat some plants containing fat for the sake of fatsoluble vitamines and the build of hormones and brain-cells? Avocados, nuts, plain sunflower seeds, flax and sesame seeds, don't you?

I stole a little saying from a tv ad for when someone asks, "where do you get your protein?" I say, "It's all in there." No body's ever argued with that. Of course, I'm not trying to impose it on them... any more... Nice to hear the story of doctors who ARE able to pass it along to others. I offer to send them a link and let them decide on their own time. Puts the power in their hands. Nice to hear from this man.
@@smallfootprint2961 Everyone knows it's bad to eat junk, smoke, drink... stress. They are caught in the pleasure trap and can't get free. I lead by silent example.
6'1" and I started at 240 lbs. relatively muscular. I've lost 18 lbs in 36 days on plant based / 2100 calorie diet. a little walking for exercise, but nothing crazy. I'm pretty astounded because my calories per day are relatively normal
Weight loss is not about calorie counting, it’s what you eat. Because human body processes proteins and carbs from vegetables and fruits differently. Body Processes fructose from actual fruits differently than added sugar and many people don’t know it. Because they read somewhere that fructose = sugar. We need to consume fruits and not to be afraid. May I ask did you consume added sugar?
@@zeroounce8874 within a reasonable amount of calories, I would agree. However, if I ate 5000 calories a day of chickpeas and cashews, I would definitely gain weight... despite the type of food.
34:20 I imagine the high fat he’s really referring to are the processed oils often used in cooking. Probably best to use water base alone or at times combined with whole nuts and seeds that you blend(er) yourself when possible in cooking because of their healthy fiber and nutrients. ...Thank you so much for this helpful and educational video.
The first change: my thoughts were much lighter/ positive then ever before...more Motivation, resistance&resiliance...and I dont starve or crave for foods
Changing your foo for more than a six months period do changes your appetite. WATCHING FROM GUYANA I DID CHANGE MY DIET AT 53 AFTER A STENT IMPLANT. I'M NOW 58 AND FEELING GREAT.
My experience is that only 10 days on a healthy whole food plant based diet make a total difference on the overall health and a great lift. In energy and joy
HEAR ME OUT! I start eating Plant Based Diet 25 days ago. I weighed myself this morning and result was shocking, I LOST 15LBS. I avoided any added sugar, oil & carbs altogether. I walked about 2 miles everyday average. I never thought I could lose that much weight that short of time. I am planning to keep doing what i am doing until i reach my ideal weight which is 30lbs more to lose.
This is a super powerful video! It’s unfortunate that dietitians, family practicians, and various other physicians don’t discuss a plant based diet as an option to help improve health. But, I’m pretty sure I know why… Yet, many in the health field in 2022 are now aware of how to maintain proper health (i.e. plant based diet, exercise, hydration, and sleep), but they do not share this information with patients. That being the case, I vow to maintain a healthy lifestyle so that I can wean myself away from the non supportive “health care” system in this country.
Agreed, dropnthe stereo types. If you do it for the animals that's cool and I respect you, but stop trying to force your convictions on us. I personally do this for health. 100% inresepct hunters and my family does much hunting. Hunters and fishermen keep our wilderness taken care of, no other source is a higher income to care for our nature. Focus on you and only you.
Great interview. I have decided to go WFPB for November. I was preparing for the BATTLE, yes, battle, by watching videos on healthy eating. This video came up and it is excellent. I have no doubt that the results will be well worth the effort. For the health of it!
I think a huge hurdle that a lot of people have and are unaware is that they are addicted. To salt, sugar, taste and etc. our consumption of sugar is so high, fruits become bland. Salt intake is so high, less salty foods turn bland and some foods have addictive properties. Some people people need to come to terms with this first otherwise this is a HUGE hurdle to jump into a healthy diet. I love this channel! Keep it up!
I am trying to help a friend with stage 4 cancer. It is hopeless. The entire 25+ years I have known him, he has eaten fast food almost daily and thinks cooking is heating up a frozen pizza or other processed junk.Every day, I offer him to come pick up healthy meals I make for myself. He is so addicted to the fast food, any other food is disgusting to him.I offered him "normal" food, not tofu or things like that. So far this week he refused a salad (because I made it with Greek olive oil,fresh lemon,braggs vinegar- he said even if he put one of his favorite processed bottled salad dressing on it, the salad was ruined because of all that health stuff I put in it). Made him a simple cut up orange,pineapple salad with pomegranate seeds. Refused it and would not eat a bowl of fresh cut up watermelon, I even took the seeds out. He's 70 now and I have to have the fact he won't make it. Yesterday, he called that he just got back from eating breakfast out. Asked him what he ate, hoping it was just eggs. Nope, an o omelet with bacon,sausage,ham and cheese in it. The processed food addiction is worse than a drug addiction.
Plant based over a year now, had a full physical the other week and absolutely nothing is deficient. Blood pressure dropped to healthy levels, skin looks younger, brain focuses easier, I sleep better, have zero cravings for sugar or junk food, i taste my food more, I'm back to the same lean weight from my teens when I ran track and I've never been happier. All that before I even get to my carbon footprint. Priceless.
@@PrimaudiaRecord I want to know how you doing, so iam also 3 weeks in, I feel energy, but iam just wondering if this is honeymoon phase and what's next to come
@@partlysimpson5154 happy to oblige but I recommend asking with more words in future, so as not to come across in an unintended way. My health is still optimum and all I stated previously has held true. But I recommend doing your research because you can easily have an unhealthy vegan diet. Only eat unprocessed whole foods, ignore fake meat products.

Bought this book. Couldn't praise highly enough. Full of indepth important info about health benefits of wfpb diet. Purchased many vegan cookbooks which miss the mark often. This book will bring you the health benefits you need. Five stars! Worth every penny
The research and science is there as proof that a WFPB diet is what we should all be aiming for and sticking with. I`m in my middle sixties and after nine years as a healthy eating vegan i have definitely been healthier since ditching all animal products, and all the health issues i used to have all went within a few weeks. Food facts and education should start in the home. When we know better we can live better.
I noticed that after just 21 days on a wfpb diet that I felt much calmer, less stressed, in addition to losing a few pounds. I wonder why more American doctors don't recommend a wfpb diet to their patients?
Because it's nutritionally incomplete. Any diet that requires heavy supplementation and eating food out of season from all over the world, can never be the proper human diet.
@Bill T I live in a country where my meat contains none of that, so yours is a straw man argument based on the complete ignorance about countries other than yours. Your wfpb diet contains so many artificial chemicals (fertilisers, insecticides, anti fungals) that I don't know where to start and that's irrespective of the country you live in. And if you're only taking 1 supplement I suggest you research all the essential amino acids missing in plants before you destroy your health...
@@sportysbusiness I'm 66 now, and vegan (mostly WF) for 35 years now, having overcome preemie-birth, horror-show family med-hx, yearslong congenital conditions, plus THEN a plethora of adult- onset, yearslong illnesses, on my healthy (vegan) diet.. It begun in 1989, after me finally listening to my conscience re animals' rights and their horrific mistreatment, and suddenly, astonishedly gaining health, 'Superman's immune system', consistent high- energy, and me running wellness and stamina circles around even years- younger, constantly 'out sick again' coworkers, whom I then constantly worked doubleshifts and my days- off, to cover for.. Me now having either read the obits or attended the funerals of 70% of the (oft-younger), nonsense- spouting, longtime 'doomsaying scoffers', and me at high- energy age 66 now, STILL, as usual, unable to REMEMBER even my last mild cold or flu, me with a medicine cabinet completely bare of Rx's, as (non)vegan friends HALF my age or less complain of "sick again, 'living- at" their doctor's monthly", and of "running outa room in their med-cabinets." My HCP's newest FNP just prolongedly delved- thru my history of DIScontinued, unneeded meds, my yearslong good bloodlabs, lack of (post)-vegan illnesses.. then perused last summer's "wow; 100%- PERFECT arterial & bone- density scans!".. ("ZERO arterial plaques, and a radiologist, I see here, specifically commented on your 'STRONG BONES', too!" She then disbelievingly took my BP twice, it unmedicatedly that of a slim 12 year old, and beamingly advised henceforth reducing the usually- advised FOUR routine yearly doctor visits, to TWO routine ones per year.. So, just for my benefit, after my 35 years now of provedly WONDERFUL vegan- health, and even a yummy, nutritious foods grocery bill that's 40%-60% LESS than my (markedly lesser- health) NONvegan friends' grocery expenditures, if you'll kindly tell me 'what science- backed' (NOT industries' massive propaganda- based 'bro science') approximate date, or even roughly, 'year', to mark on my calendar, to expect my vegan diet to suddenly 'wreck my health', that'd be sooo great. And before you try claiming that I'm simply some 'genetically LUCKY fluke', (again), my both- sides family medical history LITERALLY reads like the script of a horror show.. Those who've tried THAT 'out', have each time been left openmouthed and speechless, when I recite my fam med- history, and also my 'PRE'- vegan health-hx.. Okay; I have my events-calendar and a marker-pen in hand, awaiting enlightenment by you, to stunningly overturn 35 years of intense personal nutrition- study, AND personally- LIVED 'BOTH sides of the carnist/ vegan fence' experience.. Lol.
As I was growing we used to eat all those what docs Explaining ,the "choosen few "who could afford white flour bread, sugar tea were considered rich .many families had to mill grains from local miller ,meat was eaten if lucky Dec 25 the., Docs adviced our parents for protein's to feed us Beans. This is not a joke many rich people are now "dying" to be able to eat the poor peoples food
It has definitely switched. If we cared about covid or health at all, all doctors would push this. There is one genetic condition that reacts badly to that much greens, but you dont have to eat all greens. People MUST understand this
I’m on day 10 today being on a plant based diet along with no oils of any kinds, no nuts, no peanuts or peanut butter, and no seeds. I have already lost 8 of the 67 pounds I put on after I quit smoking and because of isolation due to covid, in only 10 days. I am convinced it’s the diet I must be on. Not only due I have weight to lose but I also have hardening in one of the chambers of my heart because of my years of smoking... I’m doing it for my heart health as well. One difference I am seeing is how much I am going #1(peeing). I got up about 5 times last night to use the bathroom. 🤷🏼♀️ I hope that stops soon. Great video! Thank you !
Be sure to supplement those oils some how. I use vegan omega 3's and 6's and a handful of walnuts per day. Look up Vegan Stoke and heart disease risk. We have lower disease and higher stroke. We can combat this with the above :). Keep up the great work!
@Godisgreat-777 Your comment is from three years ago, so I certainly hope your nighttime peeing- trips have resolved by now.. And hopefully your heart & general health greatly improved, as well.. Whenever we initiate or undergo significant life changes, even beneficial ones, paradoxically, our stress hormones can be temporarily elevated, and sometimes (decrease) kidney urine-output 'by day', but when these stress hormones' levels FALL when we're asleep, the kidneys then get a 'green light.' Also, one study that I recall, found that, for every ~500 calories- eaten incremental INcrease/ DEcrease, the body (correspondingly) tends to either temporarily (retain) 1 add'l pint / 1 pound of water, or to (pee) it away.. Plantsbased diets are oft lower in calories, unless deliberately calories- boosted.. And fruits & veggies have high water- content.. On (any) diet, most (initial) weightloss is mostly water quickly lost. Even so, (me vegan for 35 years now), I'm both far healthier, and far slimmer, by about 35 pounds), than I was back in 1989.. Not only a daily vegan 'multi', but also an (algae- derived) essential fatty oils supplement might be helpful/ healing for your heart, as well.. People tend to forget, (not you, tho, with your 'no added oils') that there were presumably NO veg-oil or seed-oil presses/ extractors 'back in the Garden', and (Gen. 1:29) that we'd not have been prescribedly steered- to a diet that would've harmed (US), either. Best wishes, and good health, to you! :-)
Teeccino herbal tea can be a nice part of a plant-based diet, not knocking coffee, drink both if you like - but I am sleeping so much better since I tapered off coffee
It was great but I hoped to hear about what a drastic sudden change does right away. I remember, for example, I started having more bowel movements than what I was eating! After a few days it regulated out. Also, the more energy, breathe better for some, sleep better for some? My experience goes back 39 years when I was oh so young, but I sure remember calling my doctor - what is this?? I am pooping more than I am eating!! He asked, is it diarrhea? No. Is it painful? No. Have you done anything different? Yes, I stopped eating meat and dairy. Don't worry about it, he said. He was right. : ) meateaters out there - your colons are stuffed. Apparently it takes days and days to process out the meat. Damn I feel great at 64. Thanks to Dr. McDougall and Dr. Barnard and others that followed and those that came earlier because we know this information has been out there fore more than 100 years but government is in bed with meat and dairy - and big pharma. Period. I don't even have a primary care physician.
Thanks for these important and stunning Informations! Great Video. It would be perfect if you could link the related studys in the discription next time
I’ve been plant based and sugar fee for 1 month. My triglycerides are finally normal, my psoriasis cleared up and my A1C went from 6.2 to 6.0. I’ve lost 8 pounds.
For those looking for recipes, in addition to those youtubers mentioned by others, the Flynn brothers that Dr. Desmond cites are “ The Happy Pear “ with years of recipes on their channel. I would also recommend Good Eatings, by a young lady from Sweden called Malin. Hope this helps someone.
I have been whole foods plant based for three months now have lost a lot of weight started out at 206 now am 160. My blood pressure was 175/71 now it is 109/71. Loving every bit of it.

Sounds nice to me. 💖💖 Eating fries. Going to make Mushrooms and Wild Rice after while. And a homemade Blueberry drink I make. Plant Based diet can make your taste buds change. It did me after trying it for a Month about a year ago. You crave this stuff more then meat after you try it. 😊
Couldn't agree more! I crave burgers, but I don't necessarily want a burger that "tastes like meat". I want a really really good homemade veggie burger!!
@@asarcadyn2414 Cravings towards healthy foods is essential to thrive. That's why we have dopamine in our brain. Unfortunately SAD messes it up. Fortunately it can be normalised by WFPBD.
Serotonin is made in the gut. Therefore to have a healthy gut to make Serotonin is a great thing. I once had a patient with clostridium Difficile and was depressed significantly. Once we cleared it up and got her gut back on track with whole plant based changes and a prebiotic, she was relieved from the depressed!
I totally agree with everything you have said as I have been eating a vegan diet since January 2017 up today and I've dropped ½ my body weight from being heavyweight obese to now being Medium healthy Level for my 33 year old that I am now I am full of more energy than my teenage years and early twenties and am very less likely to visit the doctor or hospital for brittle bone issues and damaged muscles from before and even when in my my Twenties I was prone to having 35-48 Epilepsy Seziures annually to now since changing to a full Vegan diet I have noticed I have only had between 15-25 Epilepsy Seziures every year since I changed my diet and active lifestyle to a vegan influenced diet to be able to live a much more positive life compared to my childhood into my Early 20s so I will definitely live by a Vegan diet as my reasoning behind my healthier and happier way of living for sure
A non-GMO plant-based diet will cure many things. If you had childhood vaccines or flu shots or others, they are linked to causing epilepsy, so stay far away from them.
@@veganizeeverything2769 I ended up with Epilepsy Seziures due to a head trauma injury as a child when bullies in the area I grew up in beat me up for being different and overweight I ended up with temporary brain damage and temporary memory loss but since I started eating a Vegan diet I have dropped in my amount of annual seizures count and lost ½ my obese body weight originally I was around 21 to 22.80 Stone at age 18 leaving School and now age 33 I'm 10.46 Stone weight as of Wednesday 6 May 2021 and am much happier and healthier and have become a Semi-professional 10 Pin Bowling 🎳 Athlete for my local Region in Ireland 🇮🇪
@@veganizeeverything2769 Show us the clinical evidence of vaccines causing epilepsy please ? Most of this anti vax stuff is pure fiction. Yes Vegan lifestyle is good but don't mix the message with being anti modern medicine.
My waist pain and sleepless nights haven't gone away since I started the plant-based diet. But I have lost a lot of weight (which I don't want to, because I'm naturally a fit guy even without excercise). What can I do?
Perhaps eat a second banana and have an extra portion of oats. Have an extra potato or scoop of brown rice when having dinner. About the pain and sleeplessness, see your family doctor. I have a progressive motor neuron disease and no diet is going to reverse that. But it is important to me to be as healthy as possible with my disease.
Your waist pain and sleepless nights might be an affect caused by something other than diet. Hip injury? Irritable bowl? Perhaps try buying a better bed? Or a different pillow? Also, if you want to focus on fitness I would recommend subscribing to this channel. You can study how vegan body builders stay fit on a plant based diet. ua-cam.com/video/j1mCCRv9i5A/v-deo.html
@@titiavandeneertwegh3170 carnivore might actually help you. That’s often unthinkable to you plant-based folk, but people are going into remission from Neuto-degenerative diseases like MS through carnivore. Meet is not the problem. Processed food is.
Follow up. Dr Rangan Chatterjee, Dr Tim Spector, Dr Gemma Newman and Giulia Enders her book on the Gut. and when I first started to question food, I read a book called Pure white and deadly by John yudkin This was published in 1972 and exposed the bad, almost dangerous nature of Sugar.
I'm just starting to eat a whole food plant based diet, but I have one concern. I am NOT overweight. I am 125 lbs, 5'5", in my seventies. I don't want to lose all the weight people are reporting. Is there anyway to stop that from happening while still getting all the benefits?
Basically it is how many calories you eat each day, therefore weight loss is not inevitable. Also remember to keep exercises to maintain muscles. Congratulations on being at a healthy weight. 🙂
Interesting perspective and although I did the same - it was with a slight twist. Starting off on 31 January 2022 with a RAW PLANT BASED diet - 80-100 grams EACH of tomato, cucumber, orange, onion, Red/Green Cabbage, Grapefruit, pears, apples and turnips - one fruit a day, the meal turned out to be about 500 grams of Salad. Initially, for the first week or so, had some mortadella or Chicken Salami - about 5 slices - till I was shocked to death - more than 50-60 grams of protein can cause cell proliferation and eventually lead to cancer. Eventually substituted the mortadella with Jeddal Cheese - almost Mozzarella family, 100 grams - consisting 77-78 grams of fat and 22-23 grams protein. So, let's say 10 Feb 2022 till date - 18 March 2022 - 4-5 vegetables, one fruit and 100 grams of cheese. Technically eating an almost exact double and there's no heaviness after the meal AT ALL. Recently started adding a teaspoon of Red Grape vinegar or a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. And one tablespoon of Avocado oil OR Olive oil - both Organic. The details are on my Instagram karandx99 But yeah, no seed oils and raw food, loaded in Fibre - my bacteria seem to be having a SUMMER PARTY 🥳
Woohoo I love being plant based, every now and then I occasionally eat products with dairy, it never feels good, I'm so thankful for info like this, reminds me how incredibly beneficial it truly is. Thank you :)
Just stick to it. You will notice the benefits. Also add exercise, meditation and intermittent fasting to your lifestyle if you can. It really is transformative. Best of luck.
Also make sure you drink a lot of water. We need from 2 to 2,5 liter a day. My weight drops when I'm strickt with my water intake, and stops (and more over-eating) when I don't.
Whole food plant-based as a gimmick. It makes people often stop eating more refined garbage, and so of course they will lose weight. We need healthy fats and good protein, plants are simply not the best places to get those things. You’re better off going keto or carnivore.
I do a 90:3 lifestyle to coincide with my investment dividend payouts. For 90 days, I do one vegan meal a day and lots of water. I exercise doing HIIT. I pray a lot. I read a lot. Once I accomplish the full 90, I go crazy for 3 days - booze, animal products, Netflix. Then J go back to my Spartan lifestyle.
I was already a vegetarian when my mom died of colon cancer. The last time I saw her, I decided I was never going to eat anything that didn't come from the ground or a tree. No one's perfect, but I think at 82, I can say that I can attribute some good health reports to the high fiber diet. Plant based for the win.
Nice! I will start mine today :)

I'm 40 years vegan and at 60 years old, feel amazing. I moved to florida to support my mom on her journey back to health. She was dying in the hospital from 4 major cronic illnesses. Heart desease, diabetes, hign blood pressure and whole body infections, kidney failure. At 83, the doctors didn't feel she had a good chance to last another year. After 3 months plant based and nutrient dense with daily exercise, she is reversing all her major illnesses. a total 180. It takes a lot of hard work and support to change so drastically. IT REALLY WORKS. Go Plant Based with nutrient dense foods. Move your body joyfully and stay positive with love. And life will return.
Define amazing 😂
My mother was given 5 months to live. Took her off meats and her regular diet. I put her on beans and vegetables. She lived 5 more years. Died at the age of 90.
A little over three years since I switched over to a whole food plant based vegan lifestyle, I lost forty five pounds, off viagra and blood pressure medications, lowered my cholesterol and triglycerides levels and cured myself of sleep apnea.
This is amazing to hear! I really wpukd love to get my spouse on this but he is still stuck on the protein "kick." He has gained alot of weight since covid and developed sleep apnea. I unfortunately know he sneaks things here and there. Not alot but still I am concerned for his health. He is trying but again its the keto bs he does. Keto messed up my microbiome in so many eays and I paid for it and still am. I am almost completely plant based but do have eggs and chicken here and there. Maybe fish every once in awhile. Happy that you were able to drop lbs and all of those meds. So great!
Boom💃
🔥🔥🔥🔥 for real!
Hello ma'am can include fish
loved the way you had to mention" off viagra". hahahah..good man,,, i think one of the best ways to get men into plant based nutrition is to brand this that way. haha
I'm only plant based about two weeks .. came from a diet of ready meals ,highly processed meat , supermarket pizzas ,red bull and loads of dairy. Always had brain fog. Woke up exhausted even after a good night's sleep. I was irritable and constantly tired and felt depressed . Now I literally feel like a new person. Full of stable energy ,clarity of mind and just feel bloody amazing. Never going back
same! IM NEVER TIRED it’s so weird, i love this diet. full of energy all the time
What kind of diet is ready meals, Highly processed meat, pizza, red bull and loads of dairy? The see food diet?

@@partlysimpson5154well, have a look at the doc being interviewed… he is in his 40s. Seems to be working nicely for him. Also have a look at some of the videos where Chuck tells about his weight loss and health reclamation journey… I think he has been whole food plant based for about 15 years now.
I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar oil or salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
I lost 15lbs in just my first month on a plant-based diet. In six months I was down a total of 40lbs; triglycerides went from 190 to 69; total cholesterol from 225 to 175 (I'm hoping that goes down some more); and no more signs of chronic inflammation. I am nearing my 41st birthday and I feel better than I did at 18!

Today is day 29 for me. 30 days ago I was on the DAD (Deadly American Diet). That's the same as the SAD (Standard American Diet) but just a more accurate acronym. 29 days ago I started eating a 100% produce-only, whole foods, plant-based diet. Fruit and greens, beans, seeds, nuts, legumes and vegetables. If it comes in a box or a bag, was manufactured or processed in any way, if there is literally more than one ingredient on the label, I have not consumed it. And I went from chicken wings, pizza, cheeseburgers, fish, pasta (almost exclusively from ordering from DoorDash and restaurant food only) to 100% prepared meals at home. By the end of week one I was sicker than I had ever been in my life. My guts were ON FIRE, but the worst symptom of all was I literally could not walk. I had to fight to get out of a chair. I had ZERO energy. I questioned what I was doing and considered perhaps I had made a mistake going "full retard" (from the film Tropic Thunder do don't get triggered). But I stuck it out. By the end of week two I was just about to cash in and call it a day and eat some "real food". I hung on just a few more days and the it happened...a 180 degree turn around in how I felt. I got up (almost 2 weeks of total insomnia by the way) and a feeling of calm and well-being came over me that I had no felt since I was a teenager 35 years ago. It is night and day. I went from no energy to having more than I had on the DAD by a factor of 10. My mind is 1000 times quicker and sharper. I am NEVER giving up this feeling. Clearly I just went though a full on detox like no other. Other than maybe a water only fast, this is the best way to detox. All the massive amount of vital energy it take to cope with a poor diet is suddenly freed up and your body goes...holly shit! Now we can use some of this vital energy to clean up some of the debris and injury and illness that has been looming but we (my body's cells) didn't have available. This is known as "the law of vital economy" and its our bodies way of triaging what is in our best interest first..."worst first" kind of thing...but go from chemicals in your diet and processed foods and oils and refined sugars to pure, low calorie, high nutrient density foods and BAMM! Tons of energy to clean house, make repairs and get back to joy. If I can do this...ANYONE can do this. I have lost 18 pounds in 28 days. I want to lose another 20 or so...but I'll let my body decide what my ideal weight is. I'll start a B12 and EPA/DHA supplement in the near future. For now: only drink is water (never a pre-made drink - which is food by the way) no fragmented foods (like making orange juice and removing the pulp which helps slow the absorb glucose metabolisn and prevent spikes) water saute only (oil-free life from now on - oil is 120 calories for table spoon regardless of what type it is and has zero nutritional value and is pro-inflammatory) lots of greens and colorful vegetables, beans, etc. And 45 min. of balls to the wall high intensity exercise (like weight/resistance/pull ups/push ups etc.) or 90 min. a day of light and easy exercise (like fast walking). I am BORN AGAIN and feel 15 years old. Hardest month of my life. But if you're going to make a change don't do it half assed...DO IT RIGHT. VINCIT QUI SE VINCIT!
Thanks for taking the time share your experience, it's motivating.

22 years vegan this year. I also eliminated all processed food when I went vegan (the term WFPB didn’t exist back then). I am still thriving. Sailed through the menopause naturally with hardly any issues (a few, mild hot flushes) and am still very active and energetic 😀. Listen to Dr Desmond, he is an excellent doctor
Same here. Menopause just went by. My mum and my grandma both had a terrible time, so it's not in the family.
When I was young and a vegetarian I had PMS and monthly cramps. Not drinking milk was a major step.

@@whitechocolate2811 you’re right. And there are tons of videos on that subject of unhealthy Vegans. That’s why they call the diet “WHOLE FOODS, PLANT BASED”. There is nothing whole about a damn Oreo 😂
@@msgoodman92all vegan diets are unhealthy long term. Vegan diet is a fast, simply by the exclusion of animal foods. Someone can eat nothing but vegan donuts for a month and expect the same beneficial outcomes as someone eating just WFPB. A WFPB diet has zero nutrition.

Excellent! This is very informative. That gorgeous Irish accent is super easy on the ear too...
I’m now vegan and gluten free due to finding out I have extensive endometriosis that is also all over my bowel. Really praying my body will heal from the food I am taking in 🙏🏼
I hope you are doing well 💗
Hey! It would be very helpful if you share the result of your diet on your health condition :)
How was it?
Good luck Steff
if you stick to whole food, no processed food,little to no sugar, you WILL heal. ❤🙏🙏🙏
I’m 12 years post kidney transplant. I haven’t eaten meat in 2 years. I weigh what I’m supposed to weigh and my blood labs are all normal. Life comes from plants. 🤙✌️
When I used to animals my hair never grew, it was always above shoulder length, I was always taking care of it, but it never grew!🥺 but when I became vegan I reached knee length, I believe it's because of all the nutrients from the veggies, it's crazy! I couldn't be happier❤️🥺 (I also had severe acne, and being vegan fixed my entire face) 😭 I'm so grateful, for real! I used to cry because I went through so many acne treatments and nothing was working! Being vegan was the best thing that has ever happened to me
(Sorry if there are some misspellings, I'm still learning English) ❤️(´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
I needed this my hair was falling out and l have alopecia at the back my hair was long but not healthy . So shaved it all off last April and it’s growing back healthier even where the alopecia is. Slow but steady. 🤗
I feel like you have just told my stroy. My hair isn't growing past my shoulders and my face is a mess. I will give this diet a try fir 28days and I'm hoping to see the difference.🤞🤞
Omg I had a dream last night (wfpb for only a week) that my hair grew to my waist. I wonder if my brain is saying thank you?
@@dineod6830 oh do 3 months. You may have a lot of healing to do.
@@dineod6830 did you try a plant-based diet? i'm 60 years old and my hair is at the middle of my back - lots of water will clean up your acne, but plants have a lot of water ..
With study #2, I recently met a very senior UK cardiologist and his knowledge of the impact on diet on heart disease was startlingly slight. He had no knowledge at all of the reversal of heart disease through a wholefood plant based diet. This was a highly committed and knowledgeable physician who prided himself in staying up to date with research. There is something going wrong with the way we are educating and communicating if senior and influential physicians like this are so far behind the curve.
Many Doctors in US are not knowledgeable about nutrition and are only prescribing pills 💊. This is not a good medicine practice and many times it is creating more harm than good. God bless you all
They are stubborn. Doctors aren’t taught how to prevent diseases, they are taught how to ease the symptoms of disease. My husband is a doc so I know. They go through all diseases breathily, They don’t go in depth of what causes that particular disease... they like to say it’s genetics.
My was in a hospital with gallstones and when I asked doc why do I have gallstones he couldn’t give me an answer. I asked is it from foods I ate? He said no. He wanted to operate my gallbladder but didn’t know what caused gallstones. My husband doesn’t know either. So while I was in hospital with huge inflammation I did google how to flush gallstones(how to get rid of them) So I found out that I should be fasting and drinking a lot of liquids. So that’s what I did I drank only water, tea, and liquid soup twice in 3days. Then over the weekend I asked if I could go home as I have 2kids and I said I will be back early Monday morning. Doctor said ok but he wanted to do blood test again before I go. Then on Sunday called me while I was home and he said he got good news, inflammation gone and that they are puzzled and want to do a ct scan on Monday. They did a scan and saw that gallstone which caused all the trouble was flushed out. My doctor was very confused, said he had no explanation to that and asked me what have I done. I told him that I stopped eating, I was fasting. So my problem was gone, I could go home and didn’t need operation anymore.
Then later I got another problem - under-active thyroid. My doctor didn’t know what caused it. Just told me it’s genetic or could be other causes( but couldn’t explain) and gave me medication.
What I wanted to say that doctors don’t get to the root of illness they just treat symptoms. If you want to heal seek advice from dietitian or nutritionist. They did they research.
@@zeroounce8874 that's good to know. I have an inflamed gallbladder, no gallstones, but my gut is telling/asking me to eat more soups. I do find that I feel better if I eat more soups. I think I'll try fasting along with soups to see if inflammation gets down.
They don’t teach them this because medicine is all about making money. If everyone got cured of these common illnesses then drs would go broke. They want us sick. I love the rogue doctors like this who know the truth and educate people on this lifestyle and also live it. Stay healthy.
@@cbird73 I suspect you're in the US, where for-profit medicine results in perverse incentives to keep people sick.
In countries with social medicine, sickness is a burden on the health service and on the taxpayer and there is much more incentive to keep people healthy. Especially as the aging population threatens to overwhelm resources.
So outside the US, I suspect that it's more of a cultural issue - medicine is a conservative profession and new ideas take time to become accepted - especially if they are perceived as low-tech and unsexy. Boys do like their toys...
I was on 3 BP medicines... three weeks, one got cut in half.. and two weeks later, one got removed entirely... and lost 10 lbs.. technically 35 days.. but... really, it has been an amazing journey

I’m currently in nursing school and it’s shocking to me that we are taught that a healthy diet consists of the daily intake of meat, dairy, eggs and fish. It’s the most frustrating thing ever that I’m expected to teach my future patients this as well! My hope for the future is that more studies like #2 will be done so that the medical sector is properly educated on curing diseases in stead of deceiving their own patients
There will be a class action lawsuit someday that successfully nails healthcare for failing to give patients full information on which to base consent decisions, and failure to warn about consequences of choosing poor nutrition. The healthcare megabiz bankrupting people left n right for avoidable invasive procedures must stop
FLEUR... Our Hope for the future is that DOCTORS WHO KNOW.... like you do.... LOUD AND CLEAR speak the truth.
Never get advice from a doctor
I worked years on the business office of a GI facility and not only there is no nutrition education, most doctors themselves eat nothing but junk food, drink diet soda! In fact, most of our staff is obese, our nurses specially, very frustrating! I am studying clinical nutrition now, and more frustrated to learn that the literature on nutrition is pretty solid. Unfortunately many doctors are more invested on performing multiple procedures a day as opposed to read the medical literature and referring their patients for nutritional therapy. As a future nurse you can really have an impact though!

After a steady 2 weeks of going Plant Based I made our traditional Italian Easter dinner yesterday with my Sauce / Meatballs & Italian sausage & plain white pasta plain white Italian bread too along with a nice mixed green salad. Well...my belly wasn't very happy later that night. I am preparing my morning Green Smoothie and planning my plant base day and night. This is so informative and insightful TY so very much..Can't wait to get your Book!!
This interview was eye- & ear-candy from start to finish. It is so important to get this message out there. It seems to happen that everything good comes together in a plant based diet. It is over the board healthy, it is compassionate, no animals have to suffer for it, it makes you happy and keeps you moving. What else do you want from a diet? A huge thanks to doctors like Dr. Desmond and not to forget all the other promoters in and out of the medical field, that lead people to a plant-based lifestyle through educating. Thank you very much =)

Plants base diet is the key for the gut I was suffer with acid reflux since I change the plant base know no more acid reflux. Thanks God Mother Nature
I am 35 year old. I used to struggle with my weight I was 82kg and I was called "FAT" by my colleagues, I had to go to gym every other day. 3 years ago I switched to whole food plant based diet, now I am 63kg. The last time I was 63kg was 18 year old!
So cool to hear that!
How long did it take for you to lose weight?
Anything is better than a Standard Western Diet!
True that!
The food supply is so chemically poisoned; other countries won't even buy food from the US any more. (China and pigs, Mexico and corn for instance.)
Some "anythings" are. better than others.
It's not the Western Diet the issue in itself, it's the modern western eating habits, which I consider 2 different things. Start buying fresh and unprocessed food, balance meals well to get the good amounts of macro and micro, get rid of most sugars and sweeteners, eat only 2 or 3 times a day, never more than that, move and exercise. And at that point all diets are good. Which is best is still under debate and probably depends from person to person (and some foods are probably wrongly demonised). At that point even a whole-bread, grass-fed, veggy-filled hamburger is fine (maybe not every meal). By the way, TMAO is an indicator and not a really strong one, so cycling between different good protocols I think is the best idea.
@@Manweor "whole bread grass fed" reminds me of my sister teasing about eating breast fed chicken eggs 😂
My parents at 65 and 67 respectively ate almost nothing but lean cuisines diet cokes, snicker bars, potato chips and nuts. They both ate oatmeal or toast for breakfast and had a little fruit daily. I still think that their diet aided in what lead to death of each one. Dad - prostate cancer - aggressive. Mom - 6th stage of Alzheimer's then mysteriously died; (possibly fell and hit her head) while still able to eat and drink.
I became vegan in spring of 2021 . My cholesterol was over 300 and LDL(bad cholesterol) over 200. I am in my early 40’s and my primary doctor suggested putting me on statin. I asked to start Whole plant base foods no oils as well for 90 days. I lost 18 lbs in first month and after 90 days my cholesterol dropped to 180 and LDL is 200. Still vegan and loving it. Be persistent 👍❤️
Did you do both statin and plant based? great job!
@@justagirl2736 no statin just plant based and no oils
How is it possible to have 180 total cholesterol and an ldl of 200???
I have familial high LDL. I got tested and i have what they call small A lipoprotein or something like that 😢
Back to WFPB for the last 2 weeks and my BP went from 128/84 11/1/23(which is around where it had been running the last year) to this morning being 105/78(which is around what it been for the last week!) 👍👍
I'm on 30 days;. Everything has gotten extremely better! I have deal with depression all my life; Feeling much more of a positive attitude!
I have gastrics acid reflux for 10 years; all getting better! Lost 20 lbs
I'm on day 5 of eating a whole food plant based diet with no oil, and I'm feeling good. I have more weight loss than most are the first month already.
But you eat some plants containing fat for the sake of fatsoluble vitamines and the build of hormones and brain-cells? Avocados, nuts, plain sunflower seeds, flax and sesame seeds, don't you?

6'1" and I started at 240 lbs. relatively muscular. I've lost 18 lbs in 36 days on plant based / 2100 calorie diet. a little walking for exercise, but nothing crazy. I'm pretty astounded because my calories per day are relatively normal
Weight loss is not about calorie counting, it’s what you eat. Because human body processes proteins and carbs from vegetables and fruits differently. Body Processes fructose from actual fruits differently than added sugar and many people don’t know it. Because they read somewhere that fructose = sugar. We need to consume fruits and not to be afraid.
May I ask did you consume added sugar?
@@zeroounce8874 within a reasonable amount of calories, I would agree. However, if I ate 5000 calories a day of chickpeas and cashews, I would definitely gain weight... despite the type of food.
Yes its nuts how much weight u can loose. I lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks........God bless...
34:20 I imagine the high fat he’s really referring to are the processed oils often used in cooking. Probably best to use water base alone or at times combined with whole nuts and seeds that you blend(er) yourself when possible in cooking because of their healthy fiber and nutrients. ...Thank you so much for this helpful and educational video.
The first change: my thoughts were much lighter/ positive then ever before...more Motivation, resistance&resiliance...and I dont starve or crave for foods
Ordered the book... Loved this interview... Thanks... Love the science.

Changing your foo for more than a six months period do changes your appetite. WATCHING FROM GUYANA I DID CHANGE MY DIET AT 53 AFTER A STENT IMPLANT. I'M NOW 58 AND FEELING GREAT.

HEAR ME OUT!
I start eating Plant Based Diet 25 days ago. I weighed myself this morning and result was shocking, I LOST 15LBS.
I avoided any added sugar, oil & carbs altogether. I walked about 2 miles everyday average.
I never thought I could lose that much weight that short of time. I am planning to keep doing what i am doing until i reach my ideal weight which is 30lbs more to lose.
how are you doing?
This is a super powerful video! It’s unfortunate that dietitians, family practicians, and various other physicians don’t discuss a plant based diet as an option to help improve health. But, I’m pretty sure I know why… Yet, many in the health field in 2022 are now aware of how to maintain proper health (i.e. plant based diet, exercise, hydration, and sleep), but they do not share this information with patients. That being the case, I vow to maintain a healthy lifestyle so that I can wean myself away from the non supportive “health care” system in this country.
Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based.
Go vegan for the animals.
Go vegan for the planet.
Blah blah, French fries and Oreo cookies is vegan also. Plant based isn’t vegan, it’s in its own realm
Agreed, dropnthe stereo types. If you do it for the animals that's cool and I respect you, but stop trying to force your convictions on us. I personally do this for health. 100% inresepct hunters and my family does much hunting. Hunters and fishermen keep our wilderness taken care of, no other source is a higher income to care for our nature. Focus on you and only you.

Great interview. I have decided to go WFPB for November. I was preparing for the BATTLE, yes, battle, by watching videos on healthy eating. This video came up and it is excellent. I have no doubt that the results will be well worth the effort. For the health of it!
I am going into week 3 and I am feeling great already, I was on a Mediterranean diet for about 8 months so I was prepping for this shift now
I think a huge hurdle that a lot of people have and are unaware is that they are addicted. To salt, sugar, taste and etc. our consumption of sugar is so high, fruits become bland. Salt intake is so high, less salty foods turn bland and some foods have addictive properties. Some people people need to come to terms with this first otherwise this is a HUGE hurdle to jump into a healthy diet. I love this channel! Keep it up!
I am trying to help a friend with stage 4 cancer. It is hopeless. The entire 25+ years I have known him, he has eaten fast food almost daily and thinks cooking is heating up a frozen pizza or other processed junk.Every day, I offer him to come pick up healthy meals I make for myself. He is so addicted to the fast food, any other food is disgusting to him.I offered him "normal" food, not tofu or things like that. So far this week he refused a salad (because I made it with Greek olive oil,fresh lemon,braggs vinegar- he said even if he put one of his favorite processed bottled salad dressing on it, the salad was ruined because of all that health stuff I put in it). Made him a simple cut up orange,pineapple salad with pomegranate seeds. Refused it and would not eat a bowl of fresh cut up watermelon, I even took the seeds out. He's 70 now and I have to have the fact he won't make it. Yesterday, he called that he just got back from eating breakfast out. Asked him what he ate, hoping it was just eggs. Nope, an o omelet with bacon,sausage,ham and cheese in it. The processed food addiction is worse than a drug addiction.
Love my plant based diet. 🥗
favorite dish?
Plant based over a year now, had a full physical the other week and absolutely nothing is deficient. Blood pressure dropped to healthy levels, skin looks younger, brain focuses easier, I sleep better, have zero cravings for sugar or junk food, i taste my food more, I'm back to the same lean weight from my teens when I ran track and I've never been happier. All that before I even get to my carbon footprint. Priceless.
What about now, update please
Entitled much?
@@PrimaudiaRecord I want to know how you doing, so iam also 3 weeks in, I feel energy, but iam just wondering if this is honeymoon phase and what's next to come
@@partlysimpson5154 happy to oblige but I recommend asking with more words in future, so as not to come across in an unintended way.
My health is still optimum and all I stated previously has held true. But I recommend doing your research because you can easily have an unhealthy vegan diet. Only eat unprocessed whole foods, ignore fake meat products.
Nice, iam not native speaker sorry. My English is not that good. But I am on switching phase, I wonder how its gonna feel in future, so far more energy, 3 weeks in, I dont know if its gonna sustain or its just honeymoon phase? I see there is potential, I dont know about long term
I got rid of MRSA with plant based diet, I am so so so very grateful!
Bought this book. Couldn't praise highly enough. Full of indepth important info about health benefits of wfpb diet. Purchased many vegan cookbooks which miss the mark often. This book will bring you the health benefits you need. Five stars! Worth every penny
The research and science is there as proof that a WFPB diet is what we should all be aiming for and sticking with. I`m in my middle sixties and after nine years as a healthy eating vegan i have definitely been healthier since ditching all animal products, and all the health issues i used to have all went within a few weeks. Food facts and education should start in the home. When we know better we can live better.
I noticed that after just 21 days on a wfpb diet that I felt much calmer, less stressed, in addition to losing a few pounds. I wonder why more American doctors don't recommend a wfpb diet to their patients?
There’s no money in healthy people. How are doctors going to make money selling carrots??
Doctors are chasing money, not wellness.
Because it's nutritionally incomplete. Any diet that requires heavy supplementation and eating food out of season from all over the world, can never be the proper human diet.
@Bill T I live in a country where my meat contains none of that, so yours is a straw man argument based on the complete ignorance about countries other than yours. Your wfpb diet contains so many artificial chemicals (fertilisers, insecticides, anti fungals) that I don't know where to start and that's irrespective of the country you live in. And if you're only taking 1 supplement I suggest you research all the essential amino acids missing in plants before you destroy your health...

I'm 66 now, and vegan (mostly WF) for 35 years now,
having overcome preemie-birth, horror-show family med-hx, yearslong congenital conditions, plus THEN a plethora of adult- onset, yearslong illnesses, on my healthy (vegan) diet..
It begun in 1989, after me finally listening to my conscience re animals' rights and their horrific mistreatment,
and suddenly, astonishedly gaining health, 'Superman's immune system', consistent high- energy, and me running wellness and stamina circles around even years- younger, constantly 'out sick again' coworkers, whom I then constantly worked doubleshifts and my days- off, to cover for..
Me now having either read the obits or attended the funerals of 70% of the (oft-younger), nonsense- spouting, longtime 'doomsaying scoffers', and me at high- energy age 66 now, STILL, as usual, unable to REMEMBER even my last mild cold or flu, me with a medicine cabinet completely bare of Rx's, as (non)vegan friends HALF my age or less complain of "sick again, 'living- at" their doctor's monthly", and of "running outa room in their med-cabinets."
My HCP's newest FNP just prolongedly delved- thru my history of DIScontinued, unneeded meds, my yearslong good bloodlabs, lack of (post)-vegan illnesses.. then perused last summer's "wow; 100%- PERFECT arterial & bone- density scans!"..
("ZERO arterial plaques, and a radiologist, I see here, specifically commented on your 'STRONG BONES', too!"
She then disbelievingly took my BP twice, it unmedicatedly that of a slim 12 year old, and beamingly advised henceforth reducing the usually- advised FOUR routine yearly doctor visits, to TWO routine ones per year..
So, just for my benefit, after my 35 years now of provedly WONDERFUL vegan- health, and even a yummy, nutritious foods grocery bill that's 40%-60% LESS than my (markedly lesser- health) NONvegan friends' grocery expenditures,
if you'll kindly tell me 'what science- backed' (NOT industries' massive propaganda- based 'bro science')
approximate date, or even roughly, 'year', to mark on my calendar, to expect my vegan diet to suddenly 'wreck my health', that'd be sooo great.
And before you try claiming that I'm simply some 'genetically LUCKY fluke', (again), my both- sides family medical history LITERALLY reads like the script of a horror show.. Those who've tried THAT 'out', have each time been left openmouthed and speechless, when I recite my fam med- history, and also my 'PRE'- vegan health-hx..
Okay; I have my events-calendar and a marker-pen in hand, awaiting enlightenment by you, to stunningly overturn 35 years of intense personal nutrition- study, AND personally- LIVED 'BOTH sides of the carnist/ vegan fence' experience..
Lol.
Massive Congrtulations. Great Work - Great Channel. Thanks for your awesome work. From Switzerland Marcel
As I was growing we used to eat all those what docs Explaining ,the "choosen few "who could afford white flour bread, sugar tea were considered rich .many families had to mill grains from local miller ,meat was eaten if lucky Dec 25 the., Docs adviced our parents for protein's to feed us Beans. This is not a joke many rich people are now "dying" to be able to eat the poor peoples food
Now it is the rich people who regulate their intake, and poor people who choose to eat burgers pizza chicken dinners.
I love poor people food. Clean unpackaged food. We all eat from the ground. Just don't mess with it.
It has definitely switched. If we cared about covid or health at all, all doctors would push this. There is one genetic condition that reacts badly to that much greens, but you dont have to eat all greens. People MUST understand this
I’m on day 10 today being on a plant based diet along with no oils of any kinds, no nuts, no peanuts or peanut butter, and no seeds. I have already lost 8 of the 67 pounds I put on after I quit smoking and because of isolation due to covid, in only 10 days. I am convinced it’s the diet I must be on. Not only due I have weight to lose but I also have hardening in one of the chambers of my heart because of my years of smoking... I’m doing it for my heart health as well. One difference I am seeing is how much I am going #1(peeing). I got up about 5 times last night to use the bathroom. 🤷🏼♀️ I hope that stops soon. Great video! Thank you !
Good For You! Be Well
Be sure to supplement those oils some how. I use vegan omega 3's and 6's and a handful of walnuts per day. Look up Vegan Stoke and heart disease risk. We have lower disease and higher stroke. We can combat this with the above :). Keep up the great work!
You will adjust. Don't drink 2 hours before bed. That seems to work well. Good for you. Congratulations!
@Godisgreat-777
Your comment is from three years ago, so I certainly hope your nighttime peeing- trips have resolved by now.. And hopefully your heart & general health greatly improved, as well..
Whenever we initiate or undergo significant life changes, even beneficial ones, paradoxically, our stress hormones can be temporarily elevated, and sometimes (decrease) kidney urine-output 'by day', but when these stress hormones' levels FALL when we're asleep, the kidneys then get a 'green light.'
Also, one study that I recall, found that, for every ~500 calories- eaten incremental INcrease/ DEcrease, the body (correspondingly) tends to either temporarily (retain) 1 add'l pint / 1 pound of water, or to (pee) it away.. Plantsbased diets are oft lower in calories, unless deliberately calories- boosted..
And fruits & veggies have high water- content..
On (any) diet, most (initial) weightloss is mostly water quickly lost. Even so, (me vegan for 35 years now), I'm both far healthier, and far slimmer, by about 35 pounds), than I was back in 1989..
Not only a daily vegan 'multi', but also an (algae- derived) essential fatty oils supplement might be helpful/ healing for your heart, as well.. People tend to forget, (not you, tho, with your 'no added oils')
that there were presumably NO veg-oil or seed-oil presses/ extractors 'back in the Garden', and (Gen. 1:29) that we'd not have been prescribedly steered- to a diet that would've harmed (US), either.
Best wishes, and good health, to you! :-)
Teeccino herbal tea can be a nice part of a plant-based diet, not knocking coffee, drink both if you like - but I am sleeping so much better since I tapered off coffee
It was great but I hoped to hear about what a drastic sudden change does right away. I remember, for example, I started having more bowel movements than what I was eating! After a few days it regulated out. Also, the more energy, breathe better for some, sleep better for some? My experience goes back 39 years when I was oh so young, but I sure remember calling my doctor - what is this?? I am pooping more than I am eating!! He asked, is it diarrhea? No. Is it painful? No. Have you done anything different? Yes, I stopped eating meat and dairy. Don't worry about it, he said. He was right. : ) meateaters out there - your colons are stuffed. Apparently it takes days and days to process out the meat. Damn I feel great at 64. Thanks to Dr. McDougall and Dr. Barnard and others that followed and those that came earlier because we know this information has been out there fore more than 100 years but government is in bed with meat and dairy - and big pharma. Period. I don't even have a primary care physician.
Yep people have a lot of crap stuck in their gut--probably an extra 15 to 20 lbs.

Sounds nice to me. 💖💖 Eating fries. Going to make Mushrooms and Wild Rice after while. And a homemade Blueberry drink I make. Plant Based diet can make your taste buds change. It did me after trying it for a Month about a year ago. You crave this stuff more then meat after you try it. 😊
Didn't make my Drink tonight. Was too late. Will tomorrow. Sounds so yummy right now.
So craving food is good?
Couldn't agree more! I crave burgers, but I don't necessarily want a burger that "tastes like meat". I want a really really good homemade veggie burger!!
I just made a multi berry drink too. Lol.
@@asarcadyn2414 Cravings towards healthy foods is essential to thrive. That's why we have dopamine in our brain. Unfortunately SAD messes it up. Fortunately it can be normalised by WFPBD.
Chuck, you are amazing and inspiring. I just read your story in The Beet. Wow. 👏🏻
What about salmon, sardines and mackerel. High in omega 3 fatty acid?
Enjoyed the talk! But may I say Dr Desmond has an awesome radio/presenter voice
I can confirm that I have better mental health and am happier than anyone around me who eats Animals and thinks they're being clever! 😁
Liked this so much, I paused the video to buy the book right then and there…
Stephen it works!!! I’m almost a year into it and I have a great testimonial to share with you!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video on health
Definitely WFPD does improve your mood! “Super Size Me” is the evidence!!!
I been doing this, eating food from dirt, for 2 weeks and lost 3lbs per week. I’m going to keep going just to see what will happen.
I dreamed about purple cabbage last night. 😂
I ate a vegan diet for years and it ruined my health. Now ketovore and healthy. Never felt beter.
16 days in and BP now 104-115 over 65-70 . Feel great. Drop the oil is a must also
What oil canola, vegetable oil and or olive oil, almond or all oils ?
Serotonin is made in the gut. Therefore to have a healthy gut to make Serotonin is a great thing. I once had a patient with clostridium Difficile and was depressed significantly. Once we cleared it up and got her gut back on track with whole plant based changes and a prebiotic, she was relieved from the depressed!
I ordered the book!! Looking forward to cooking up some new recipes 😊
Loving the recipes in Dr Alan’s book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I totally agree with everything you have said as I have been eating a vegan diet since January 2017 up today and I've dropped ½ my body weight from being heavyweight obese to now being Medium healthy Level for my 33 year old that I am now I am full of more energy than my teenage years and early twenties and am very less likely to visit the doctor or hospital for brittle bone issues and damaged muscles from before and even when in my my Twenties I was prone to having 35-48 Epilepsy Seziures annually to now since changing to a full Vegan diet I have noticed I have only had between 15-25 Epilepsy Seziures every year since I changed my diet and active lifestyle to a vegan influenced diet to be able to live a much more positive life compared to my childhood into my Early 20s so I will definitely live by a Vegan diet as my reasoning behind my healthier and happier way of living for sure
A non-GMO plant-based diet will cure many things. If you had childhood vaccines or flu shots or others, they are linked to causing epilepsy, so stay far away from them.
@@veganizeeverything2769 I ended up with Epilepsy Seziures due to a head trauma injury as a child when bullies in the area I grew up in beat me up for being different and overweight I ended up with temporary brain damage and temporary memory loss but since I started eating a Vegan diet I have dropped in my amount of annual seizures count and lost ½ my obese body weight originally I was around 21 to 22.80 Stone at age 18 leaving School and now age 33 I'm 10.46 Stone weight as of Wednesday 6 May 2021 and am much happier and healthier and have become a Semi-professional 10 Pin Bowling 🎳 Athlete for my local Region in Ireland 🇮🇪
@@clintonbyrne33999 congrats 🌱🎉that's really some huge achievements!
Clinton That is excellent news. You sound like a strong and dedicated person. Good to hear a bit of your story. Stay strong !
@@veganizeeverything2769 Show us the clinical evidence of vaccines causing epilepsy please ? Most of this anti vax stuff is pure fiction. Yes Vegan lifestyle is good but don't mix the message with being anti modern medicine.
29:32 gut health lining; 32:43 nuts question
My waist pain and sleepless nights haven't gone away since I started the plant-based diet. But I have lost a lot of weight (which I don't want to, because I'm naturally a fit guy even without excercise). What can I do?
Perhaps eat a second banana and have an extra portion of oats. Have an extra potato or scoop of brown rice when having dinner. About the pain and sleeplessness, see your family doctor.
I have a progressive motor neuron disease and no diet is going to reverse that. But it is important to me to be as healthy as possible with my disease.
Your waist pain and sleepless nights might be an affect caused by something other than diet. Hip injury? Irritable bowl? Perhaps try buying a better bed? Or a different pillow? Also, if you want to focus on fitness I would recommend subscribing to this channel. You can study how vegan body builders stay fit on a plant based diet. ua-cam.com/video/j1mCCRv9i5A/v-deo.html
Try eating an athletic vegan diet
Eat a lot of avacado, nuts and seeds. Eat high calorie foods. Vegan weight gainer powder
@@titiavandeneertwegh3170 carnivore might actually help you. That’s often unthinkable to you plant-based folk, but people are going into remission from Neuto-degenerative diseases like MS through carnivore.
Meet is not the problem. Processed food is.
Follow up. Dr Rangan Chatterjee, Dr Tim Spector, Dr Gemma Newman and Giulia Enders her book on the Gut. and when I first started to question food, I read a book called Pure white and deadly by John yudkin This was published in 1972 and exposed the bad, almost dangerous nature of Sugar.
Beginning to enjoy fruit ...nature's candy ! Who would have thought !
I'm just starting to eat a whole food plant based diet, but I have one concern. I am NOT overweight. I am 125 lbs, 5'5", in my seventies. I don't want to lose all the weight people are reporting. Is there anyway to stop that from happening while still getting all the benefits?
No!
Basically it is how many calories you eat each day, therefore weight loss is not inevitable. Also remember to keep exercises to maintain muscles. Congratulations on being at a healthy weight. 🙂
I love that Plant Base diet I never had a Stroke
Interesting perspective and although I did the same - it was with a slight twist. Starting off on 31 January 2022 with a RAW PLANT BASED diet - 80-100 grams EACH of tomato, cucumber, orange, onion, Red/Green Cabbage, Grapefruit, pears, apples and turnips - one fruit a day, the meal turned out to be about 500 grams of Salad.
Initially, for the first week or so, had some mortadella or Chicken Salami - about 5 slices - till I was shocked to death - more than 50-60 grams of protein can cause cell proliferation and eventually lead to cancer. Eventually substituted the mortadella with Jeddal Cheese - almost Mozzarella family, 100 grams - consisting 77-78 grams of fat and 22-23 grams protein.
So, let's say 10 Feb 2022 till date - 18 March 2022 - 4-5 vegetables, one fruit and 100 grams of cheese. Technically eating an almost exact double and there's no heaviness after the meal AT ALL.
Recently started adding a teaspoon of Red Grape vinegar or a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. And one tablespoon of Avocado oil OR Olive oil - both Organic.
The details are on my Instagram karandx99
But yeah, no seed oils and raw food, loaded in Fibre - my bacteria seem to be having a SUMMER PARTY 🥳
Woohoo I love being plant based, every now and then I occasionally eat products with dairy, it never feels good, I'm so thankful for info like this, reminds me how incredibly beneficial it truly is. Thank you :)
What you say, says the Carnivore and Keto Experts too. Down with bloodpressure, diabetes, inflamation, etc.
3 months on whole food plant based. Not an ounce lost. Hopefully there are internal benefits.
Just stick to it. You will notice the benefits. Also add exercise, meditation and intermittent fasting to your lifestyle if you can. It really is transformative. Best of luck.
Same here. I am a over eater though. Even if it’s healthy lol. I have to count calories if I want to lose weight.
Also make sure you drink a lot of water. We need from 2 to 2,5 liter a day. My weight drops when I'm strickt with my water intake, and stops (and more over-eating) when I don't.
Whole food plant-based as a gimmick. It makes people often stop eating more refined garbage, and so of course they will lose weight. We need healthy fats and good protein, plants are simply not the best places to get those things. You’re better off going keto or carnivore.
Watch oils. Nuts, Avocado, peanut butter. Eat mostly green with potatoes & grains. Drink lots of water.
The book is out of stock on Amazon in the USA!
Several copies are available on ebay!
Wow, I8 on extremely high soy and wheat diet and I felt like crap!
I do a 90:3 lifestyle to coincide with my investment dividend payouts. For 90 days, I do one vegan meal a day and lots of water. I exercise doing HIIT. I pray a lot. I read a lot. Once I accomplish the full 90, I go crazy for 3 days - booze, animal products, Netflix. Then J go back to my Spartan lifestyle.
Suffering fatty liver, painful, hop not too late. Thanks
Its not too late, here is a good playlist for you. ua-cam.com/play/PLBtJnJ38quC2Qr8mEQ7xxeMl6Gc6leOO4.html
It certainly can’t hurt to make these changes today and most assuredly you will see improvements. 💪🏻😘
No way! Get started. You'll be shocked how quickly this works. No meat, no dairy, no added oil. You can be well. Just do it! 😃👍
@@kate60 thank you, never had support, I am doing it
@@krawlb4walking802 am starting, also want to walk, have arthritis so starting in house. Thank you
This is very good, I have started to follow this and a number of other studies, which cover this subject.
Do a water fast the first week. That will really kick start the health benefits!
What is a water fast?my son when plant base and he lost weight
