    Thank you for sharing this! I am a pescatarian, butdecided to eat raw for 6 weeks to see how I felt. Green smoothie, water, coffee, fresh fruit, salad for lunch and dinner. Lost 7 pounds in 5 weeks and yes having to answer all of the same questions. Unsure why people seem to be annoyed by MY choice of diet. I can not ignore the fact that I do feel better. My salad consists of all types of greens, shredded carrots and purple cabbage, cucumbers, nuts, quinoa, tomatoes and more. I will continue this way of eating...it feels right!

  • @margaretwuellner3761

    Very good and motivating! I have the same philosophy regarding the eating. I describe my way of eating to people as mostly plant based. I really like how you discuss the mind games that we tend play with ourselves. I lost 20 lbs in 4 months but did not start out eating plant based. I switched over when I became “stuck” around the 10 lb mark and felt like giving up. I was always hungry and felt deprived. Like you, I do have occasional animal products as well especially when I’m invited to someone’s for dinner I don’t want to be “that difficult guest”. With this way of eating I’m never feeling hungry and I’ve kept it off since September. Bonus is that I feel wonderful. Many annoying and/or painful symptoms have gone away. No more brain fog! Keep your tips and recipes coming!

    This has to be the most honest, informative video that I've ever seen on the WFPB woe (way of eating). I totally agree with all you said about how people react to what and how you're eating. I've been eating this way for almost 4 years and it just comes naturally now. People want a quick fix with no work on their part. You my friend are amazing!!

      Hi Geoffrey, thank you for a beautiful video ! Do you make any sort of a dressing for all of your salads and I’m also wondering what you would do with the mushrooms after they are cooked ? Did you add them to any dish ?

    I’ve watched a couple of your ‘big salad’ videos then this popped up. You’re brilliant! I love your veg prep (I cut onions like you!) and will also now cook my grains in advance too. I’ve been vegetarian all my life but have only recently become far more plant based for health reasons. Thank you for your inspiration!

    What a great video! Everything you're saying is common sense, but a lot of us need a little reminder. I've lost almost 30 pounds in the past couple years. It took me a long time because I was battling an eating disorder. I'm happy to say that I have a very healthy relationship with food now. However, I'm struggling to lose the last 5-7 pounds and I still have so much fat around my midsection, which of course is not healthy. I will give this diet a try and see what happens. Anyway, thanks for sharing, you are an absolute delight. And the finished meal prep containers are so satisfying to look at! It appeals to my organized nature : )

    I’ve lost 30 pounds in three months and I did it primarily by changing my diet. I just am careful now what I eat I stopped eating so much garbage. I stop drinking soda I used to drink a lot of soda. Now I drink zero soda, I don’t eat sweets anymore. A very little bread and pasta where I eat used to eat a lot of both. I quit eating fast food, are used to eat a lot of fast food especially hamburgers. It’s been three months since I’ve ate a hamburger I’ve been to weird days a couple times but each time I got a salad and a grilled chicken sandwich, and nothing to drink. Now I use sugar-free powdered drink flavoring that I use in water. That’s what I drink now in place of soda. I eat a lot of fresh fruit now which I did not used to do, I try to pay attention to calories, and use a program to monitor them

      Protein in all its forms, plus as much veg as you can in every different way. Fruit only in moderation. Learn to cook, too. It’ll change everything.
      This guy’s aversion to the meat of animals as well as well as dairy, isn’t sound. So long as good husbandry is used- wild caught fish, grass fed and finished land animals -- it’s an excellent source of nutrition.

Really enjoyed listening to you, plus learned some things, like how to cut a jalapeño and onion without making a mess. Never too old to learn. :) Congratulations on your weight loss, and thanks for making videos to help others to get on the same kind of plan to lose weight. Looking forward to watching more of your UA-cam videos and watching my weight go down too.

    Tip: when I make the sesame ginger hummus, I blend everything except chickpeas to get it totally smooth, then add the beans last. This lets me not grate my ginger while avoiding chunks! Or if I’m exceptionally lazy, I’ll just use dried ginger :)
    Good job being healthy!

      Also Love this video! was the first time I’ve watched him and subscribed immediately! eating healthy vegetables and getting sugar out of my life has been a struggle! he makes it seem so easy- but I was wondering what kind of dressing does he put on his salad before he eats it? he doesn’t eat it just w/dry veggies does he? He never said.

    Hi. I'm new at your channel. I'm glad to see a male advocate of the nutritarian plan which I'm leaning toward but still have some reservations. I'm glad to see you added protein powder to your smoothie; the protein is needed.
    As to cost: I've been spending way too much on binge foods and restaurant take-out, so I'm not too worried about the cost of healthy food. Thanks for your efforts.
    Over all, a great vid. As Arnold once said, "I'll be back."

    I read this book too. It’s great! So I did it for two weeks and I literally lost a pound a day! Then I got away from it. So I need to just go back to it. I felt so good, and the salad full of veggies made me feel so super full!

I’ve definitely been over eating junk foods the past couple of years and despite never being confident and comfortable in my body, I never really put in the effort to change. These past few months I’ve really been pushing myself in other areas such as work, school, ect. I’ve decided to now really focus on health and a healthy diet/lifestyle.

I had to stop myself from eating it right out of the blender. There is such a great mix of sweet and nut taste about this hummus! Oh, my goodness! It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! Thanks for this recipe!
