Thanks for the info, I've been on a weight loss journey for 4 months now, and using basically the same idea. More veggies, little to no red meat, and whole grain only. Lost 26 lbs and start finding the energy to exercise everyday. Now , my weight is like a thermostat that I can control instead of it controlling me.
The vegan cat upsets me (and I am near-vegan myself). Feeding a species that is naturally a true carnivore vegan food is cruel and wrong, just as feeding cats commercial cat food that contains mainly grain is wrong. Their digestive tracts aren't made to digest a larger portion of grain and veggies than would be found in the stomach of their prey. Of course overweight pets are a huge problem... but the problem lies in the amount you feed, and feeding species-inappropriate isn't the solution.
Ditto for me! These guys are preaching the gospel...I just don't know how many people are listening. I would also add...Neal Barnard, MD! Thanks for posting!
What my problem is i'm still young,15, living with my parents obviously, but my parents work alot and dont have time to cook food or go shopping for healthy food. so they buy whats easiest which is fast food. I want to change but im just a kid in they're eyes and they don't think its a problem. I want to change but i dont got the money to go out and buy healthy meals and neither do my parents. I just want to change. any ideas?
After following the vegan diet religiously for 2 months, my weight dropped from 229 to 189 (30#, but still overweight), blood pressure from 130/82 to 109/70, cholesterol from 184/29/132 to 107/26/69 (total /HDL=good /LDL=bad ), triglycerides from 116 to 62, and my PSA from 1.7 (high for my age of 51 and I have a very strong family history of it) to 1.0. Good cholesterol is more of a relative number to your total cholesterol. Initially 29 good/184 total is 15% and improved to 26/107 which i
I started out a few weeks ago eating grilled veggies and never felt satiated but my wife was fine. Then we read the starch solution and I discovered how satisfied potatoes are - baked fries and mashed potatoes with no added fat with mushroom gravy. Keeps me full and satiated for many hours. Unless you're used to eating just fruit and vegetables or have different receptors you might try some starch like potatoes/rice. I used to think I need fat to be satiated like peanut butter/nuts.
Cats cannot make their own taurine, that is why they are obligate carnivores. Commercial cat food has to add taurine due to the high heat and processing of the meat used. The same taurine that is added to cat food that contains meat is also added to cat food that is vegan. That is how cats can eat vegan. If you read the ingredient list on most commercial cat food the majority of protein comes from plants like corn and wheat gluten.
I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Lisle's lecture. He is truly a thought leader that will undoubtedly bring much needed change. My only concern is that unlike humans, dogs and cats are obligate carnivores and a biologically appropriate diet for humans is not going to be biologically appropriate for these two other species. I am a devoted vegan but do not impose what is best for me on my pets.
Overall, this is GREAT. Too bad the light pointer doesn't register. I wish Doug could go back into the video and put a computer pointer on the slide to help describe what he's talking about.
Great every American should watch this and share with another Person in the rest of the world and prevent spread of fast food chains unless they change their menu, thanks for informing the world.
I also believed the myth that we need protein from meat. It's just not true. We can get all the protein we need from veggies, beans and grains like oatmeal, black, kidney & pinto beans, broccoli, brown rice... (and the list goes on and on).
Just got educated on eating cleaner and healthier. I was not aware about GMO's and traces of pesticided left on vegtables and fruits that are not organic. I am certainly going to do more research and so far, eating cleaner is benificial for mind and body. What I have found so far, is that the benifits are immediate and lasting. Farmers markets are a blessing especially the people behind the foods that are offered, which take pride in what they have available for the day. Thank you.
I stiil have 65(I have lost 20 so far) pounds to lose. I have The book from Forks over knives and have watched the movie this has helpped to clarify some of the information in to a form that I can start to use today to adjust my eating. Thanks for posting!
Great talk..... at the end of the day it is all about the mind. Keep the mind in control and you will eat the right thing, do the right thing and make the best of every situation life throws at you.
Horses over eat on their own natural food. I've got a few horses that over eat grass to the point of obesity and laminitis. If I let them, they would kill themselves with grass. These are horses that NEVER get any sort of concentrate or grain. During the summer, these horses must be kept up in a dirt pen and have their grass limited. This is very common in certain breeds of horses.
I've got to try this. Im having such a hard time doing portion control, its depressing. I get so hungry and after a couple of days I just BINGE on food. :( The fat issue is important too. I was thinking about the vegan wraps I eat out... The dressing has a lot of fat and sugar. That would bump the calories of that wrap to about a 400-500 hundred calorie wrap, without counting the nuts I put in it... damn
Not disputing this method of eating, choose carefully as it may not be for everyone. If you look very carefully during the end of the movie during the test results scene at time marker 1:25:00 clearly show a borderline high level of triglycerides. As it is said with any food intake modification for health reasons always test before and after to show it's results and question it even if the numbers are in the normal/abnormal range.
I should say, I do like what he's saying. Having seen Forks Over Knives, totally on board with these concepts. But I think it's oversimplifying the issue a bit.
tell your parents and i know they will try their best to change the diet of the house and you can make them see the video to convince them , best luck and i hope you lose the weight for ever ^_^
A lot less plants have to ''die'' for vegans because we eat the plants directly. Whereas meat eaters consume 10 to 15 times as many plants because this is the wasteful ratio of conversion from animal fodder to meat. For example, to produce 1 pound of meat, the animal has to eat 10 to 15 pounds of valuable plants. This is a terrible waste that humanity cannot afford. Furthermore, to produce a pound of beef 2,500 gallons of water are wasted and polluted. Besides, a lot of oil gets wasted .
If you want to lose weight don't eat bread, chips, table sugar, or any grain except maybe oatmeal because they spike your blood sugar which causes cravings when they hit the bottom.
How do you imagine that horses in the wild ever survived then if they could founder on grass? Wouldn't the wild mustang itself be extinct if that were the case? Apparently there is something in the equation of the wild horse vs the tame one that causes it to eat to founder?
I am impressed thank you for sharing this with others. The solution is right under our noses -- eat whole foods, plant based, complex carbs --- wow, more food than most people can handle and still lose weight and feel great! Congrats on those amazing numbers.
I'm a vegan (on and off) but I am suspicious of any all or nothing theory. No doubt a vegan diet is better, however, studies have shown that overweight people DO usually eat more, although they're often not aware of it because they don't compare themselves to others, and obese people definitely do. Weight and dietary health is a complex issue. It's not good to ignore other factors in favor of your favorite idea.
@traceyeakin While you are 100% correct about a cat being an obligate carnivore, dogs are obligate omnivores, and like us, find pleasure in the taste of sweet carbohydrates(plant foods)
If calorie intake exceeds calorie output, you will gain weight... unless you have super-fast metabolism, like skinny people who eat a lot and never put on weight
portion control is crap? well, not for me..since i have started to control my portion sizes again, i lost weight...SURPRISED?for me the only truth is:if u take in more energy than u use throughout the day, ur body will store it!!! THATS valid for MY body!! and no, i dont feel hungry during the day.i have three good meals, the size of one of my hands..and that s it! and i m TOTALLY happy.for me it s all about QUALITY meals and not quantity meals! but that s just me!
Cats need a high-protein, low-carb diet with adequate taurine, vitamin A (not carotenes), niacin, and vitamin D supplementation. Aside from the taurine, their protein requirement can be satisfied with high arginine proteins (like soy), with a high water content (as in tofu). It might not be happy with the arrangement, but cats can thrive given planning. Even the commercial manufacturers add synthetic taurine to their food (its lost in rendering/processing).
Well, we have a dilemma here. There's a local deli I go to. Between the counter and the door is a bowl of bread and butter up for grabs. I have watched people come in, grab some bread and butter. Order. Grab more bread/butter. Eat a HUGE sandwich. Maybe a cookie. And, on the way out, more bread and butter. The people who are doing this tend to be from a little to a lot overweight. Isn't overeating a small part of the cause? I eat bread too, but I'm not going for the bread and butter 3x
It's interesting that some people become constipated on Atkins, while others don't. In my case, I INCREASED the fat and high density foods in my diet and lost weight. Additionally, I became more regular. I think this had to do with the fact that I also introduced way more veggies into my diet, as well as, the possibility that bread kills regularity for me. I think it's what is easiest for the person to handle. There are doctors who will tell you that a low carb, high protein/fat diet causes some
people to lose weight, while others lose weight via a low fat, high carb diet. It has to do with satiety. I eat a serving of cheese or nuts and I feel satiated, whereas, if I eat the equivalent in bread, rice, or pasta, I'm starving 30 minutes later having never reached true satiety. I agree that it's about whole foods and calorie intake, although, I do think some foods process differently in different people's systems. Tell me about your fruit fast. How did you do with satiety on it?
It's that fat in your blood stream and if you eat sugars with fat that spikes the blood sugar, cos fat in your blood stream slows your blood and sugars down, so it's not the sugar thats the issue but the fat go check it plenty of youtube vids, Dr Mcdougall and Dr N Barnard too.
I get constipated when eating too much meat, so the rest of the calories must come from carbs or fat, right? I enjoy eating tubers, so thats a lot of carbs, so I cant be raising both carbs and fat, thus I try keep fat lower than my carb. I tried atkins, and I didnt go to the bathroom for almost a MONTH. a WHOLE MONTH. Didnt loose much weight, didnt gain much fat weight either. Went on a fruit fast, lost ten pounds. I think weightloss its about calories and whole foods. Not going low carb.
This is just making excuses for overweight people. fat, is simply energi that has not been spent. to lose weight you either take in less energi, or use it.. i'm not saying fat people eat more, and it all comes down to skipping a meal or whatever, no, it's about WHAT you eat, not how MUCH.
What is Doug Lisle... vegetarian, vegan, meat eater? I can't find a definitive answer, although if he's willing to put his CAT on a vegan diet, he's probably a vegan himself.
@lovebigboobs29 It's high fat. High fat foods make you fat. Are you going to argue that high carb foods make you fat or are you part of the crowd that believe grass fed and organic meat has a different nutritional make up to the rest of it?
AVOID STARCH & SUGAR! Foods like pasta, potatoes, white rice or grains like bread have the exact same response in the body like eating pure sugar - base yr nutrition on fresh salmon, lamb, deli meats like turkey & ham, whole eggs, low “non processed” carbs like green veggies & salads, low GI fruits like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, high “good fats” foods like nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oils, feta cheese, olives - lots of options.

Whole foods plant based eating leads to natural effortless gradual weight loss until your weight stabilizes at your natural weight.

Plants re-grow after they're harvested. They don't actually "die" Plants are extremely resourceful.
Please make this a podcast...it would be great to listen to on my daily long commute
Watch forks over knives
Good talk for theist part , but cats are NOT vegan. Cats are obligate carnivores.
I also believed the myth that we need protein from meat. It's just not true. We can get all the protein we need from veggies, beans and grains like oatmeal, black, kidney & pinto beans, broccoli, brown rice... (and the list goes on and on).
It's in an Adventist Christian church. Adventists practice a vegetarian dietary lifestyle because of their belief in the holistic nature of humankind.
This is the most honest information regarding weightloss that I've heard!
I will never eat at MacDonalds again.
This is a great lecture, I now understand how I must tweak my diet to meet my weight loss goals. Thanks a million!

love this video , why did'nt I watch this before....everyone needs to watch this it makes senses..OMG
This is the BEST talk of its kind I've seen to date, and I've seen MANY.
Thank you.
Processed food is the problem. I don't eat meat and am very healthy, suit youself though
There is an abundance of acorns where I live and the squirrels are fat
If you want to lose weight don't eat bread, chips, table sugar, or any grain except maybe oatmeal because they spike your blood sugar which causes cravings when they hit the bottom.
I've been overweight for a long time. I don't eat more than most average people, but I do think I eat higher amounts of fat calories.
So intelligent and so wise!!!

simply WOW! I'm not overweight but this is gonna help some of my family member's a lot!! Now, i just have to figure out how to make teach them this :p
Natural rice is a good grain as well.
If calorie intake exceeds calorie output, you will gain weight... unless you have super-fast metabolism, like skinny people who eat a lot and never put on weight
where can you find the calories per pound of various foods?
Appreciate all the helpful tips. I usually start my day off with a green smoothie or high quality protein shake.
Watching an hour long free information filled video and only commenting on the tiny illustration with a cat is more absurd
Did you not watch the video? The man very easily proved you wrong.
Thank you for sharing this. A podcast would be fantastic....
I don't eat anything that had a face

but cats are a meat eaters,not vegans
Don't be afraid! You can do it! :-)
wow this video is awesome ! thanks for sharing the info

VERY HELPFUL VIDEO
Thanks for posting
Amazing information. Love it.
This is a great theory.
Excellent!
F-A-S-C-I-N-A-T-I-N-G...

Watch out for colon cancer and hardening of the arteries
This is an excellent video : )
I need to listen to this.
Cats need meat...they are carnivores...just look at their teeth. It is cat abuse to force a cat to be vegan.
15:20 - The only superbird I love has roughly 430 HP.......
this was so interesting! Thanks for the great info :)
Any suggestions for yummy breakfasts?
