Hi Dillon and Reebs ❤️💕
I’ll try to keep my comment as short as possible…
I’m 53, married 34 years as of a week and a half ago, we raised up 4 littles, that aren’t so little now 😢😊
About 5 years ago, I was forced to retire young as I started needing to be hospitalized due to strange intestinal infections (it turned out to be ulcerative colitis, which my dad had as well) …. This put a hardship on our household financial wise, among other things as well!
Well, fast foreword to this last March, a few short months ago… and my blood tests came back HORRIBLE!! I was shocked!! I thought I was doing better! You name the test, I failed it… it’s scary!! Even my A1C was terrible!! And I don’t even eat sugar!! At all!!
My husband and I had been doing The Keto diet and avoiding carbs (that’s what I was told to do!!) in less than 1 year, it tanked my whole body!! My entire system was failing! Even my kidneys were struggling!!
That lead me to The starch solution, reading Dr McDougalls book… and thus, I found your wonderful channel and community!
In just 3 months, I’ve lost 19lbs!! Now I know that doesn’t seem like a lot yet… but at 53 and female and post menopausal… I will lose weight a lot slower than the average female….
But I’m not concerned about the weight as much as I am with how I feel!! I feel fantastic!! Everything is improved! And I’m happy to report, my blood work went back to normal in just 3 months!!
So thank you for all your hard work! I’m very grateful ❤️💕🙏🏼
Sending Love from Oregon 🌲🌲❤️💕 Trina
Fantastic! This way of eating works!
Yay! I love hearing this! I've experienced healing cancer on a wfpb diet. I tried keto and also tanked my body! I'm happy for you! Also from Oregon ❤
I am 62 years old and I weigh 131. My BP is 112/68. I have been eating this way for several years and feel better than I ever have. I eat a ton of delicious food every day. Thank you so much, Reebs and Dillon, for all you do😊
That's great!
@@WellYourWorld You are producing the BEST plant based YT channel in the world right now 💪❤ Congratulations ❗
I just went to see my Dr 4 days ago and mentioned I'm eating plant based, specifically the McDougall 50/50 plate. She said "oh no that's way too many carbs! You need to do keto and Intermittent fasting." My blood tests results are all within the normal range and I have so much energy! Why would anyone want to go from stuffing your face of yummy healthy goodness and being satisfied to literally starving your brain and body? 😂 I'll never change. This is the way for me and I'm so happy I've left the junk food vegan era 💜
Your doctor was trying to prescribe you an eating disorder.
@peter5.056 100%. Glad I know when not to listen 😊
I've got a NP who hassles me every visit about eating WFPB. She's threatened me that she'll cut my insulin off if I don't change my ways. I need it because I have a whole situation with digestive system not because I eat "wrong". Yes, I'm looking for a new NP. I am very lucky that I recently moved to the city where my son lives and he makes delicious things for me. He is my chef although he's a meat eater. My favorites are scrambled tofu with tons of veggies and veg banh mis. He does a fantastic chana masala with okra. I don't feel restricted at all.
@@donnazasgoat2274 Immediately fire that quack.
@donnazasgoat2274 Wow that is so awful! I'm so sorry you're going through that 😔
I’ve been eating whole food plant based for one week today- I thank this channel for the amazing recipes that have kept me going on the budget!
That's amazing!
My husband, who is not at all plant based as I am, always tells everyone how expensive it is for me to eat the way I do. He doesn’t get it no matter what I say. No having to buy meat, cheese, junk food, processed foods and snacks. Potatoes, rice, vegetables, fruits, etc are so cheap!!
The part about it no longer feeling restrictive once you eat enough starch/calories and your tastebuds adjust is sooo true. It can be so simple, and enjoyable to eat this way. My family and I have been eating this way for fourteen years and I’ve just started posting some UA-cam videos on my channel to share how we keep things simple and sustainable for our family of four.
Agreed. You absolutely MUST eat enough starch, or else! That hunger drive must be answered.
I have an incurable cancer. It's been treatable just not curable. I passed my use by date last year and I'm still going. I've never had to skip a treatment because my numbers are always good. 4 years of chemo, radiation, immuno, etc and my numbers are good and I'm still here. A plant based diet works. I'm not saying the food is my medicine. But combined with the meds it's helped to keep me alive. Finding your quick and easy recipes is a life changer for me. I love cooking and often make elaborate meals. Mixing quick and easy with elaborate is perfect. Thanks for what you're doing. I appreciate you so much. Now, we just have to bring my daughter into the fold! She eats what I make so she's getting there but.....these quick and easy recipes will definitely help
The taste buds do change, and very quickly! I no longer like oily, greasy food and fruit tastes like candy. 🙂
👏👏yes, and the feeling I get when I get a few bites of something oily 🤮🤮 omg
What I love about your channel is that you don't use SOS in your recipes! That is super important for a healthy lifestyle. You can be vegan but if still using SOS, you can still get heart disease. Great job you two! 👍
may I ask please what is SOS ???

@@ew6629 thank you ...of course silly plantbased sausage i am
Thanks for all these great examples of myths eating a whole plants diet. This way of life has changed my life. Thanks for the reminders.
Man, keep these rants coming! I seriously need you guys!!👍🥰😘😘😘
Love this video! The financial aspect is a really important. Thank you for bringing this up. I went plant based for my health and was pleased it helps the pocketbook as well!!
I always look forward to your Tuesday videos. Help keep me on track. You guys are the best!
❤️ ❤️
Love these kinds of videos , you hit the nail on the head. Thank you!
The cost myth is the one that always gets me. Whats cheaper than rice and beans? $1 a lb or less. As apposed to even cheap meat and cheese which is maybe $3 lb. A big pineapple is $2 at Walmart and after skinning chopping it I can end up with 2-3 lbs. A little prep time saves money big time.
Yes!
@@WellYourWorld And nowadays, Instacart and Walmart+ is just about everywhere! You don't even need to go to the store. In fact, the only time I ever step foot into a grocery store, is if I'm showing someone else how to shop the Well Your World way, for the first time.
True! I have too many choices for yummy food most days!
I had a great experience with someone who was under the erroneous impression that eating the Well Your World way was expensive:) We left Walmart with TWO shopping carts absolutely filled to the top with groceries, about a three month supply of starchy dry staples, and frozen produce, a month of refrigerator-stable produce like potatoes, apples, et cetera. About $300.
Yeah I live in hurricane area and have a stockpile of emergency wfpb food and it’s incredible how cheap and how much I have.
@@RAINSMAN79 I'm in coastal Florida right now, so I can relate! You know what I do? I have my Cosori electric kettle, and a solar-charged battery pack. I boil 5 cups of water and 2 cups of soymilk mixed with a shredded raw sweet potato, which takes all of five minutes, then I dump in rolled oats, raisins, and walnuts. I pour it out into a big glass bowl with a tight fitting lid and let it cook under its own heat. I eat that exclusively, "hurricane chow" as I call it, for the duration of the emergency.
I forgot to mention, I boil the water first, otherwise it would stick. I also stir constantly and scrape the kettle vigorously with a wooden spoon as it's cooking or it would stick badly;)
Now that I am back on track. I find I am very full after eating plant base meal. I am very satisfied. I love your recipes. They are easy and satisfying! ❤️
Thanks for continuing to put out great content! 100% agree with all! I’m sick of the protein question! I can give people the most sensible, science-backed response and they just tune me out. They don’t want science, they want FDA bull. I’m going to start responding “I don’t give a $&@@ about )$@& protein” and see where that gets me. There’s my rant..😂
Love you guys! ❤ Thanks for this
Thank you I appreciate all you do💖💖💖
Oh protein! I don't even know where that myth came from..? But literally everybody I come across throws this question at me.
Food has never tasted so good.
Word! So much less expensive!! .....and nutritional!!
fabulous videos always.
One of my faves is baked sweet potato with cooked mustard or turnip greens
“Fried junk and other standard American garbage” Spot on description. ✌️❤️
Wonderfully said. I love it
Great vid!
Thanks for debunking these myths and excuses not to eat WFPB Dillon & Reebs. I don't use protein powders either because as Dillon said they aren't necessary. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Reebs and ❤ Dillon.
PS Arnold did go whole plant based and did very well. I think he came out on Game changer or one of those shows.
Think how much SURGERY costs that you will avoid ❗ EAT HEALTHY 💪 STAY HEALTHY💪
It costs me under €10 for around 5kg of cooked chickpeas. It’s been years since I bought chicken or turkey but I don’t think you can get 5kg of them for that price and they were always the cheaper meats (at least when I still ate them). And you wouldn’t really eat meat on it’s own, you’d have some sort of vegetables with it so you’re buying those anyway. Fair enough, if you live off vegan mock meats, you’re going to be spending a lot but if your main protein source is whole foods then it so much cheaper to eat this way.
Have you two listened to Simon Hills conversation with Ginny Messina on nutrition myths in the vegan community? An interesting and frustrating listen. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on it.
I feel so much better eating plants. I’m remodeling my home so I’m eating cabbage steaks again. My new comfort food! 😂
Cabbage steaks are delicious!
Hi I Ntried to order your cookbook but it will not send to Canada.
Only shirts to Canada. You can get the digital version though.
Great video. My comment doesn't have anything to do with it, sorry. I was just rewatching my DVDs of Jeff Novick's "Fast Food" or SNAP meals and you should have him on as a guest or something. He was the original 'make it fast, easy and healthy" guy. I'm sure you know he's been working with Dr McDougall for years.
I think they said something about this on a recent Q&A session. Failing to stick to your thing can cause people to leave. This isn't an interview channel so people probably aren't coming here for interviews. Chef AJ is totally an interview channel so people go there expecting interviews. Individual youtube channels aren't one stop shopping, they're boutiques of people doing what they do best.
Actually, I think it was another channel that said this, but I bet it is still true.
Recently had to get a scope done and right before I went under the anesthesiologist asked me about my diet. I told him I'm plant based. He quickly responded, "WHAT? Why do you think you have canines?? To eat meat. That's what your supposed to eat. You don't take in enough calories or protein. That'll hurt you in the future." My Response was... "How many ultra marathons have you ran in your lifetime? I have ran 3 in the past 2 years. Umm... he was totally silent. crickets. haha!! Then I went to sleep for the procedure. So sick of people knocking my food choices while they are eating a big mac!
Keep up the good work Jeff!
Hi Dillion and Reebs. Great video. I want to make your "cheese sauce" snd wanted to know where you get your Miso?
Most grocery stores carry it these days.
If I had to keep only one UA-cam channel it would be this one!!!!!
Aw thank you!
Do you Recommend that people use a calorie calculator online for how many calories they eat a day or do you just try to both aim for 2000 calories a day despite your physical differences? Wouldn’t you still gain weight if you ate in a calorie surplus eating vegan/sos free or do you not think so?
I notice you never weigh your food in videos or post the macros so I’m just wondering if calorie tracking has ever been an issue
I can talk about this during the live Thursday hangout but check out our calorie density videos on UA-cam
What about powdered peanut butter? I use it in my oats as a way to add more protein and flavor and less fat. I'm unsure if it counts as a whole food, though.
It’s not whole but it’s also not terrible. I would forget the protein worry though. Use it because it adds flavor. Eat a wide array of whole starches and veggies and don’t worry about macros.
I agree with all of this, except that in addition to vitamin B12, vegans should also supplement with Omega-3 DHA (vegan algae source, of course). Dr. Greger has come out, saying that vegans should "try it".
Some plant based doctors say yes and others say no. Not the case on the B12 and D. I eat flax seeds, chia seeds, and walnuts for the Omegas.
My wife and I actually got asked this week if we can eat pasta or fruit? Just don’t eat anything to do with an animal 🤦♂️
Can I please get more of your recipes on those nice printable ones

Hi Dillon and Reebs 💖💖💖
Hi Valerie!!
Truth!
I don’t know why i never think of veggies, beans and its derivatives are vegetarian/vegan food. It’s been 20 yrs my vegetarian friends nagged me to switch but i don’t like the taste of fake meat as they all taste weird to me. Since i omitted the animal stuff, i just realized that is all i need to remove🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣plus the oil & sugar. Geez, silly me🤣🤣🤣. Now it’s my turn to nag my vegetarian friends to give up their oil. When i was prescribed chinese mixed grain congee by my traditional chinese doctor, i thought he was out of his mind. Now in hindsight, i should’ve just listened to him and i might keep my tongue.
Dillon, I gotta say, pasta, rice, beans....WAY cheaper per calorie than the dollar menu (which doesn't really exist anymore, by the way. It's the $3 menu now, lol)
I adore your sensefilled videos...oh golly protein paranoya oh golly My doctor said after I asked for my bloods 'I WOULD LOVE YOUR BLOODS' -I take it whoo hoo :) awesome reality information. truth video.
Dillion where you be shopping I love your Tshirts 😂👍🏿
If I’m wearing it then it means we made it. They’re all for sale on our website.
Dispelling the myths is only half of the task. The larger problem is dealing with the facts. The main fact is that the vast majority of Americans are too lazy to take on a healthy lifestyle. The points you make about this way of life being easy is correct, but it's not easy ENOUGH. There are industries centered around food delivery because not only are most Americans too lazy to MAKE food, they are too lazy to even go to the store and buy it. The other fact is that we are all victims of the boiled frog phenomena. The water keeps slowly getting hotter and since it's getting hotter slowly we don't even notice each single degree. We have become so used to the growing severity of unhealthiness that most people don't even realize how unhealthy their lifestyle is. Being healthy means giving up the "training" we have had since birth and taking on a completely new way of life. That's hard to do, and even when we try to do it, we often end up slowly drifting back to our old ways. It takes a lot of effort to stay on track and most people don't have the desire to do so. I have been in this lifestyle for years and still I find that I have to beware of the tendency to slip back into the "old way". Perhaps the next step in your business venture is to start a healthy foods delivery service where you can put together daily meal packages so that all people need to do is open a box and the food for the day is in there, ready to consume, without any preparation required. That all said, thank you both for being an inspiration! You help to keep me on track.
Yes I agree, but that is the whole point of our content, to make it really easy for people. This is what I preach all day long. I am not interested in converting people, I am just interested in making it easy for the people who actually want to stick to it forever like us. For the people who are ready to get healthy, I am here for them. For the people who have no idea, well they are going to have to figure that out for themselves and I will be here for them when they are ready to get started.
Good morning Reebs and Dillon.
Good morning Jill!
I just got my blood work back. The base minimum for proteins is 200 on the bloodwork that I got I was 212 the only thing I implemented because I do have a problem with protein apparently is vegan protein shakes! So if you got a problem with protein and you’re not eating enough protein, like me, I do love my beans, but I do not like tofu or any Chyna tofu product. I don’t eat the Fake meats with the exception of MorningStar chicken patties and that’s about it, but I do eat a lot of beans and I eat potatoes and things of that nature but I was still on my protein then you might wanna get a vegan protein shake that helps get boost your protein up and it’s good for you.
You should tell the people that the FDA just approved meat that is grown in a lab...if they want that going in to their bodies how much nutrients will they be getting 🤢
Cabbage, onions, carrots, potatoes, kale, spinach, apples, bananas, kiwi ! My hugest shopping expense each week 😂😂😂
Not only cheap but versatile.
