I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2019. Through prayer God led me to a plant based diet. Within 8 months I had loss over 30 pounds and my med was cut in half. At 12 months my tests results showed I'm no longer diabetic.💃 I was taken off medication! Sweet Lord!🙂
So the fruit sugars were not a problem for you? I'm hovering in pre-diabetic land and I really, really want to avoid full blown diabetes. I've moved toward a more plant-based diet recently and feel like it might be a good path, but anytime I pop a piece of pineapple or crunch into an apple I worry that I'm shooting myself in the foot...
@@angelafrench1226 Go on RUclips and watch Dr. Michael Greger's videos...that's where the Lord led me to start my journey to reverse the diabetes. I went from diabetic to prediabetic and then normal range. I did go with the no oils, dairy, etc strict plant base at first. However my blood sugar never spiked when I are fruit so I kept it in my diet...also I did no sugar, sugar...just agave nectar. I can't do stevia and honey or I would them. My plant base includes small amounts of meat...usually not beef. I aim at two meat free meals a day and my meal with meat is usually way smaller than a deck of cards.🙂 Angela, I wish you great health!🙂
I haven't had issue with diabetes, but grew up with heavy sugar consumption. I tried replacing most of my sugar consumption with whole medjool dates which never gave me negative feelings sugary things would, despite the high sugar content in dates. They helped me greatly with dealing with craving/changing to plant based foods and now have a 2Lb tub of date seeds from it lol. I dont eat them anywhere near as often now, but they really helped with a transition from a soon-to-be-diabetic diet to purely eating plants.
@@angelafrench1226 You definitely want to start making oatmeal in the morning. Buy a big organic bag for the best value. They're known for regulating blood sugar. Also, eat more barley and avoid too much white rice, bread and processed sugary foods (obviously). I hope that helps but dr. Michael Gregor is a really good place to start researching as that other person said
Had cancer 17 years ago and switched to eating WFPB. On no medications today at 61 years old. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and keep up your fantastic new lifestyle.
Awesome. So glad you're doing better. Having challenges for quite a long time. I'm working on getting this osteoarthritis out of my body. Snacking on walnuts and raisins right now and watching this video.
@@fuldagermany try blending fresh pineapple, & eliminate wheat from your diet. If you’re craving for wheat get NON-GMO. Include raw red onion in your diet.
So sorry you have to apologize for eating the only diet clinically proven to reverse numerous chronic illnesses (as stated clearly by the North American Association of Dietetics). It's wonderful you have been able to regain your health! When it's gone, life really sucks!! Thanks for sharing despite cultural biases reinforced by billions of dollars of marketing. :)
I have been a vegetarian for over 40 years but don't have cheese butter or eggs I feel fine but have just gone over to a plant base eating you are right you have got to eat a lot more but I have always felt keep up the good work hope your operation goes OK don't never go back to medication they are licence drug dealers 😊
7 months ago I could not even walk my dogs 100mters with out crippling angina. Two days ago I ran 1km pain free. It's been 7 months of strictly the veg and fruit out of my garden and nothing else other than oats, flax seed and chia seeds with berries. Plant based diets work. Thanks for sharing your journey
I understand your pain my brother. I was almost crying with you. I am on a plant-based diet as well and I have never looked back. God is the only true healer and He has put all the medicines we need in nature. We just have to do our research and use them accordingly. I have learnt so much from your channel. Keep up the work and God's blessings for the future.
I am crying with you. May the good Lord God heal you, in Jesus name. I am seeking healing too as I withdraw from benzos. So many are advising a WFPB diet. I find the idea of trying foods I haven't tried, cooked with and not even sure where to buy them.
My partner was diagnosed with Colitis 5 months ago and we both started a whole food plant based diet and the effects on her body where astounding and has seemed to have reversed her condition. My mum started to follow it to loose weight and her joint problems cleared up in a matter of days after years of agonising pain. I have personally lost 4 stone in 5 months and feel amazing for it - I’ve gone from Obese to a healthy weight. Can’t believe how such an easy move is so positive on the human body. I really enjoyed your video and loved to watch your journey and the positive effects this way of eating had on your body and your life - thank you for sharing it with us! And good luck for the future
You are no longer shadowbanned, as this video appeared on my Home page today and I have never heard of you before. So congrats on getting back on the RUclips algorithms!
Thank you, Lee, for your honesty. You are in a battle for your very life, and you are using the weapons of Eden to fight back. So happy for your incredible transformation so far, and I wish you continued success.
Been vegan for ethical reasons for a long time and noticed how good a raw veggie salad for lunch is. Oatmeal for breakfast. No alcohol but sometimes the herb as an antidepressant... :) Nature is the best medicine!
@@tatts1901 I encourage you look into the Endothelium, and see why certain foods nurture it, and other foods damage it. I agree with you, just because something is natural, like cyanide, doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Thankfully through the work of good people like Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Dean Ornish, and Dr. John McDougall, we’ve got hard science backing the fact that majority of western diseases can be prevented and even reversed with Whole Food Plant Based nutrition. I won’t recommend a book, because I think many people don’t want to make time to read these days, but “Eating You Alive”. Is a free documentary on Tubi, that will get you up to date with the science. I wish you the best. 🙏
@@tatts1901 A placebo effect would be great, and if that’s the case here, reversing people’s cancers and even giving us measurable data that we can see with our eyes under a microscope is one heck of a placebo. I highly encourage watching “Eating You Alive.” It’s a pretty comprehensive documentary.
Whole food/ plant based is life changing. Dr. Esselstyn and the documentary “Forks over Knives” is mind blowing. It’s worth a look, my friend❣️ I’m so happy for you
I’ve been WFPB for over a year and it changed my life, I can’t imagine eating anything else. When I go to the grocery store I can’t wait to see what the have for veggies I’m so addicted to them. I’m 55 and I was very sick and had to make a change like yourself and I am no longer sick. Keep with it and stay healthy.
I enjoyed this video so much! I was crying along with you at the beginning when things were going so badly, and I'm so happy for you that you're feeling so much better! I'm a long time plant based eater myself, but really cutting out all the unneccessary stuff (alcohol, sugar, breads, etc.) helped me so much too. Through doing that I was able to recover from chronic fatigue that had me almost bed ridden. I'm now doing alternate day fasting which is giving me so much energy and has been the thing that's finally helped my insomnia. Anyway thanks so much for sharing this video. You look amazing!
I'm so glad you've found relief. Fatigue is very misunderstood for many people but it can be crippling. Thank you for your lovely compliment. It was the best choice I ever made. :)
I've been vegan for over 8 years too. I did it for ethics but the health benefits are brilliant. I control IBS and no migraines. Stay healthy and stay plant based .
I had a colonoscopy 2 years ago. Whilst looking at my colon the specialist asked if I was plant based. I said I had been 15 years ago, he told me if he could recommend one thing to me it would be to go back plant based and stay that way. I do feel so much better not eating meat.
@Asherah 1147 Thanks for your comment, as I am looking to completely change my diet and go vegan. I even did some research on a complete meal replacement that has been buzzing, seemingly everywhere on social media sites, "Ka'Chava". Since I don't know where to start, I feel like it could help halfway with the complete meal smoothie. Your comment, along with others, have given me insight, however, I feel you didn't have to come off as argumentative. How can you tell someone else about a procedure they had? Or the conversation between them and their doctor or primary care physician, under client confidentiality? Or what was seen on the screen in their butt, lol?
I did the same as you 18 months ago stopped everything and started a plant base diet I lost 3.5 stone and 6 inches off my waste. Feeling awesome I have started trying the vegan meets for burgers like. Best thing I have ever done. Well done glad your feeling better.. 👍
@@sarona7721 with a bit of exercise 3 times a week it took me about 6 months. I still stick to this lift style change NOT A DIET and have kept the weight off.. If you think of it as a diet you will never get there I calorie count also.. Someone else I know seen the difference in me and tried it for himself but didn't lose anything because he kept switching back and forth between a plant base diet and eating meat. Thanks take care
I found this so interesting as I have chronic pain from arthritis and fibromyalgia, insomnia , depression, neck/shoulder pain, lower back pain, brain fatigue etc, so this is a big motivational message for me, I’m going to give it a go!
If you are on painkillers and anti-depressants and things, I want you to read what I wrote today in another comment. You have so much pain, but still your body doesn't get a chance to heal by help of its own system. Some of your pain could/might be from side-effects from the medicines. Consider abstinence between pills! Read and inform yourself. There probably is tissue-damage behind part of your pain, and part of the pain can be from your nerves and brain. Bone is renewed more slowly than softer body-parts. The cells of the whole body, teeth and all, are replaced within 7 years. Let that give you hope. Eat healthy plant-based whole food so there are building elements to use. Exercise, but very, very moderately, stretch and relax, tighten and relax, softly, very moderately to help with fibromyalgia and insomnia. Some programs for beginners are too heavy for you, so listen to your body. When your inner wisdom whispers kind suggestions to you, try them ... give yourself and your body lots of time to heal. I send you heaps cheering and support from, it is from somebody who has struggled, too, and is struggling with almost the same things - I don't have depression (anymore, it was very long ago) and not arthritis, but high blood pressure and tendonitis and what not (can't even take a walk right now), hernia and osteoprosis, but am determined to get into better shape. I have stressed too much, and been careless against better knowledge, but enough is enough, and from now on I am my own measure, and others may think whatever they want about my limits. I will stubbornly listen to my body and soul, for not even those who wish me the best, know how sensitively I function. We are not all the same. It's OK.
Hi Anne, there are hundreds and thousands of us reversing fibromyalgia, brain fog, chronic fatigue and depression with Medical Medium. If you want to learn where the illness comes from, check him out.
@@pawlet is it a different message than this one from plant based results? What is it based on? The word medium puts me off, as a Christian we are told in the Bible to have nothing to do with the occult and that’s generally what mediums are about.
@@Godisgood173 some people do have issues with where he gets his info from. He tells the story that a voice tells him what is wrong with people and how to heal them. He's been doing this since he was 4 years old. It's 100% plant based. If you are in pain and suffering, the truth is appreciated. However, if you are not comfortable with the Spirit of Compassion, then don't look into him. Stay with Dr Goldhammer, Dr Fuhrman, Hippocrates health center and science based.
@Anne Suffolk, I also have fibromyalgia with a lot of the symptoms you mention. I've been eating plant-based for about 6 years. It's a gamechanger for me. I will not say I'm cured, but I'm so much better now than I was 6 years ago. For me it's important to eat as clean as possible (lots of greens, fruits, veggies and beans and minimize the amount of sugar). Also drink enough water (I drink about 2,5 litre of water). I don't take any medications anymore, just some medications when I really overdo it with my activities (like moving house or other over the top activities like that).
My husband and I are Vegan. You’re so right, veganism can be really unhealthy. So, I’m looking forward to following your journey, learning and growing my plant-based diet with you! Thank you for such an informative, kind, and thoughtful video.
I think that what you are doing for your body is fantastic. My wife and I went plant based in January 2019 and still continue this lifestyle. The one thing we never do is call it a diet as diets are temporary we call it a lifestyle change. Keep up the great work and hope you are able to have your necessary surgeries soon..
Lee, I'm so happy for you! I have been slowly eating more WFPB especially this past year. A few years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Now my doctor says I have recovered from it. She is amazed and before I changed my diet she told me that I can only control the symptoms with pharmaceuticals. This is in the USA. I feel so much better now at 63 than I did at 43. Keep at it and good luck with your surgery. Will be thinking of you and I look forward to seeing your next video.
You rock! Isn’t it amazing what a whole food plant based diet can do for you! It’s very annoying how doctors are not trained in nutrition and push meds for everything! Keep it going and can’t wait to see more from you!
I too struggle with health problems and hearing you share your pain so vulnerably truly touched me. That is why your transformation is so amazing. You went from crying to smiling and your smile is absolutely beautiful and contagious! I am so inspired by your bravery, discipline and determination to get more out of life. May your journey towards wellness continue to bring you healing. God bless you and keep smiling.
LEE! Your video moved me so much! I could feel your pain and frustration with all you have had to deal with. I couldn't help but cry because of what you have had to endure. I can so relate, as I had cancer and was also hit by a truck which resulted with 9 surgeries. NOT ONE doctor asked me what I eat, or suggested a nutritional guideline to follow. I too, did it on my own with holistic care and plant based eating. I'm a WFPB vegan for decades. When my doctors told me I was terminal, I told them F**k off, I'll heal myself. And I did. Happy you are doing that too! Sending you lots of Love and Light on your journey to wellness! xo
So glad this video popped up for me. Can't remember the last time I watched one and I remember how much I used to learn and how much I felt encouraged. Thank you for the time you put into your videos.
Wow!! Literally the minute you started eating WFPB you looked brand new! I saw it right away. I love how you fought so hard!! Brings tears to my eyes. I have been WFPB almost 2 years. My entire outlook is different now. My new friends are here in these videos! ❤
2 years ago I was ill, Iv been to the doctors with no help at all was told "Just to live with it" so I had enough I went home and Googled how to help myself, iv been vegan for 2 year now and feel great on no medication I wish I had done it years ago 🌱 xx
@Project Diaries I’m an ex army guy struggling hugely with extreme mental/anxiety & similar pains such as yourself plus I’m fully disabled from injuries incurred from my service. Please please 🙏 do more videos as u literally have saved me once. I’m also on a huge script & my o2 levels constantly go into the 60% range which I should go into resus but if I did that I would never be out of hospital. Your videos have helped immensely & please please 🙏 do as much as u can. Again I can’t thank you enough Mark, Bourneville, Birmingham 😊
A whole foods plant based diet is SOOOOO good for you. Take a look at the centenarians that live in the blue zones, all 5 areas have a diet based in plants with meat being very minimal, like special occasions, one of them is completely vegetarian. My family has benefited from pbwf for over a decade, it's a lifestyle for us now!
@@jacquigriffin5973 you are completely right and now I'm laughing 😂 I was probably distracted while I typed originally, but I made the correction! Thanks for letting me know haha
I've been a vegetarian practically all my life. My father was a butcher so I felt nauseated around meat. But I was an overweight junk food vegetarian. In 2020 due to the pandemic I adopted a whole food plant based diet and in 6 months I lost all the extra weight I had. Now I have a normal body weight. I'm thin but not as skinny as I would like to be. I wish I could lose another 5 kilos or so. I'm working on it. You keep up the good work and I hope you recover soon from all your ailments.
You are a real fighter Lee ♥️ sending you love and positive healing vibes. The gift you give by sharing your projects, life story, struggles, and courage with the world is truly special. As someone battling depression who did not want to get out of bed today, this video gave me hope. Thank you :)
I went from crying to being absolutely over joyed for you. Thank you so much for documenting & sharing your journey. I'm truly sorry the medical industry failed you so badly but I'm trilled you have taken back your power & are healing yourself though your own research. Seeing the difference in you from the start of the video to the end, is simply beautiful. I wish you the absolute best & most beautiful life & again, thank you very very much for sharing, you will be an inspiration to many! Much love from Australia ❤
Inspirational is the only word that comes to mind. I too came off all my pain meds but took a little longer than you did, but with similar results! Now on a Vegan/plant based diet and growing much of our own veggies. Feeling great but still some way to go on the weight front. Gone from 15st to 13st 12lb in a month and feeling good. Thanks for all your videos. Keep well and stay safe.
Just finding your channel and it is such a pleasure. I couldn’t help but root for your healing journey. My husband and I have started the whole plant lifestyle and wow! At 40 my husband’s cholesterol was extremely high and we choose to allow food to heal and not the medicine prescribed. I’m enjoying this new journey. God bless you and your transparency - you are helping a lot of people.
😭Doctors have destroyed my life. Being thought to respect Authority and doctors and do exactly what they tell me to do has lead to the same downfalls that you have and it's sad that it takes us turning 30-plus and them saying they give up on us for us to realize that we have to take matters into our own hands and just go back to basics! So you keep doing what you're doing. 🖤
So true. My mother has suffered from diabetes for years following doctors orders and has gotten progressively worse. I have tried to get her to go plant based but she tells me her doctor tells her to keep taking her meds.
This is so exciting! I absolutely loved seeing your transformation! you look so good, such a difference:) I hope your operation goes fantastic and will be looking forward to seeing your continued healthy progress! Cheers!
I just switched to a plant based diet about two weeks ago because I was sick of being on meds for my asthma. Though I'm not off the med completely, I only have to use my control med once a day instead of twice! The days I slipped up and ate more items with dairy in it, the worse my asthma was! I was blown away by how much it has helped my asthma!
I’m so proud of you. You are one of my very favorite gardeners on RUclips! I just became Plant Based in the last 2 months and like you, I didn’t know what to expect. So far I love and plan to never go back. I’ll be praying for you. May God Bless you!! Much love!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm almost 60 yrs old. I started taking control of my health 2.5 yrs ago. Even though im going to the gym 4x week and eating healthier i know theres definitely room for improvement. I'm very excited to see how eating whole plant based foods have helped you 💚 I also want to say that even though i was obese i have never been on any rx except an emergency inhaler for asthma. In the 2.5 yrs ive gotten off my inhaler! Isn't it amazing how God designed our bodies to thrive on what he provides rather than so much synthetic garbage?!❤
Really happy to have found your channel. I went whole food plant based nearly 3 years ago and have lost over 18 stone and I now feel the best I've ever felt. Well done in getting off all your meds and doing it by changing to the best lifestyle there is. Watching you go through your changes in this vid brought tears to my eyes, you are an inspiration, well done again and keep up the excellent work :)
I did film a face close up when my skin was bad but I couldn't bear seeing it in the video so cut it out. Thank you so much. It's really helped rebuild my confidence. :)
Hello, I’m in New Zealand listening to you, lol , great video, my family and I have been on a quest to change our eating habits, we’ve change everything and are focusing on a more plant base diet with loads of fruits as well , your experience will help so many and me too , thank you and looking forward to seeing more videos and learning from them!
Praying for you to feel better. So glad plants help you so much my wife, and I are now 3 weeks into a vegan diet, and seeing amazing results. Keep the great work going, you are an amazing person Mate.
Totally agree!!!!! Can't remember the last time I had a craving. I went WFPB 5 yrs ago. I use to love Burger King hamburgers. So I thought I'd try there PB burger. Tasted just like I remember, but SHOCKER I didn't like it any more. That was the last time I tried fake meat.
You're so strong, making the decision, making it happen and sharing all you have experienced. Thanks for putting yourself out there so vulnerable. I'm sure you're helping more people that you might even think, but the most important is that your health is back and you can enjoy your life 💕✨
My hair was also coming out when I started this way of eating I now eat 1 Brazil nut and iodised salt ( 1/4 tsp salt ) a day and it no longer comes out . Both are good for your thyroid health
I went from feeling so sad for this man as I watched the beginning on this video to smiling with joy seeing him so energized and happy at the end. Sending the best for further good health in your journey
Keep it up and keep positive. Have suffered with depression for many years and arthritis . You are motivational and an inspiration. Believe that this will work for you and keep these wonderful posts up to help yourself and all of us subscribers❤❤
I'm sorry I am just now seeing this video. My heart goes out to you, sweetie!! Praying that you are better now and still nourishing your body properly. Much love and hugs to you!!
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this, Lee. We can all learn from your tenacity, bravery, positivity, and educationalitivity. You've inspired me to clean up my diet too.
Thank you for your bravery, I have been a diabetic since I was 8, cancer, hypothyroidism, Ms, osteroporosis, raynauds, hair loss, chronic fatigue, and so much more. Like you, I'm now leaning towards what I can do, to stop the pain, both mentally, and physically. I love you for sharing your story. Namasta
04:33 - that moment looking out the window. Reflecting. Making that decision that enough is enough - he made a choice, then and there, to take control of his "conditions". Almost had me cry, man. Felt for you. Good thing you changed your diet and improved your health. Best of luck and fortunate health to ya, bud.
On a plant based diet, my arthritus took 4 months to completely resolve. Stay true to plants, everything else will just fall in place. Congrats on your success.
Good luck to you! I don't see your name anywhere. I really appreciate you documenting your journey. You look great. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration!
Lee what an amazing journey. Just watched this and both me and my husband are feeling so inspired. You deserve great support from your followers and you are doing the world a great service by sharing this content. Thankyou for your vulnerability, I'm sure it will change the lives of many who think the common medical approach is the only way. May you continue to feel happy, healthy and well. I also recommend finding a good Ayurvedic practitioner to help you as your healing continues.
Sorry to hear that you are going through so much. The Plantbased diet hopefully will help. Trying it out myself as I think plants are the real medicine. All the best dude And keep us updated 🙂✌️💚
Oh honey, I felt so much watching your video. I completely understand your pain. That feeling like, what do I need to do, why do I keep suffering when I am trying so desperately to get well. I have spent countless hours sobbing and wanting to give up. I started the wfpb no oil way of eating a week ago, I have no support, a partner that eats an unhealthy diet and drinks, I don't know a single person who eats this way. I just so badly wanted to give you a hug watching you be so open honest and vulnerable.
I have never seen any of your videos, my husband and I have been having health issues pop up more and more. I cried with you at the start 😢 I am watching lots of videos to find what has helped others.
Man, you are a complete inspiration. I am 65 and find it difficult to deal with pain. This is something I should talk to GP about, but I doubt I could do it. I love my JD too much. And my God, you have a gorgeous smile when you are happy.
Thrilled that you're feeling so much better. Long may you continue to feel well... A lovely bloke you still look out for grandad. All best wishes for the future..
When I was a young healthy teen, I went on Atkins with my mom, and it made me throw up blood. I have had a couple other experiences where red meat caused me extreme bloody diarrhea etc. so for me at least the plant based diet is the one that helped my digestive issues and blood pressure as well as when I had high cholesterol I tried Vegan for the first time, after a little over one month I went back to get a cholesterol test and it was down 79 points. I do feel better on plant based.
I am so happy for you. Thank you so much for sharing your dairy. PLEASE CONTINUE POSTING YOUR JOURNEY AND WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO TO GET WHERE YOU ARE. yOU WILL BE HELPING MANY PEOPLE.
I watched this video because it was in the auto play on my RUclips. I know this was a year ago and I have no idea where you are at now but you are a trooper and knowing the risks just from being on all that medication that harms so much more than it helps... You getting off of them all could really have saved your future if not your life. I am amazed by what you have accomplished in this video. The drugs.. the sugar.. amazing. I really hope you continue to limit these things. I think you show great strength that many wish they had. Be proud.
This is the first time I have seen your Channel and I really enjoyed it! I recently have done a similar thing, I was having terrible health problems in and out of the hospital and all the doctors could do Is throw meds at me. I stopped eating all the junk and started eating mainly fruits and veggies. And I feel 1000% better!! I cant believe the difference thus far. I am 4 weeks in and love it. Even exercising daily. I felt like I was 100 yrs old and thought how am I going to feel When Im in my 50s if I feel this bad right now. Im so happy I have done this for myself. Good job at taking your health into your own hands. Im going to find that app you are using.😊
Your a legend. Even on a plant based diet I would still get acid reflux occasionally. Drinking water with apple cider vinegar seemed to have cured that for me which I am stoked about. But it is awesome seeing your plant based journey. I am so glad you shared it with us. Thank you and look forward to all the future videos.
I suffered from the same thing and when I went WFPB things changed dramatically but I still suffered from acid reflux from time to time (sweet peppers at night are one of the culprits) . I've been on a "restricted" diet for a few months advised by my nutritionist and I'm taking several supplements to build up my stomach and I don't experience reflux anymore. I can only eat white fish and cooked vegetables and absolutely nothing processed because it's easier on the digestive system. The chronic acid reflux was as a result of taking opremazole for my stomach when I had acid reflux in the first place. Now I have low acid and I am in the process of correcting it. Now I can eat peppers at night so it's a step in the right direction 😀
I have gone plant based at 74 years old….and I will pray that it is very successful for you!! It has been good for many and I pray God sustains you through this to finally get your health back! Praying!
You look incredible now! You're whole demeaner and eyes just exude health and happiness. I have pcos and a more wholegrain, plant based and lean meat diet is what seems to be what can help elevate my symptoms (not cure) but it's just getting then kick up the backside to do it, your video has inspired me 😊
Best of luck! I have turned also to plant based diet and my inflamation and aches are going away. Looking forward to continued episodes. God bless you. 🙇♀️❤
Currently 80% WFPB and 20% plant based junk… need to work up the willpower to cut out the processed rubbish I occasionally binge on and go full WFPB. Either way though, 3 years of plant-based has cured my severe chronic migraines, reduced my blood pressure, helped me get a better body and cured my IBS. Fantastic vid man, well done for braving it and coming off the pills. Looking good 👍
Going plantbased was the best decision I ever made. I try to stick to whole foods, but it's difficult. I gotto admit I can be a bit of a junk-vegan sometimes. But all in all the best diet I have been on and will continue it. I am so happy you are feeling better!
Trying to do mostly plant based. I need more recipes, especially for my husband. He had a heart attack on memorial day and he's only in his 50s. Today he got the results back of the toxic nuclear stress test he had to get. We have been about 75% plant based since the heart attack and he got good news today that there is reversal of plaque in his arteries. I give credit to the plants not the drugs. We will continue to strive to get to 100%, I just need to find more recipes. Thanks for your videos, stay encouraged!
That’s amazing! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and wish that you keep going, feeling better and better, bringing happiness through food to millions out there. Hope this video can reach others that are also in need, really happy for you! Stay strong, alive and healthy! Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge! 😄
Hi Lee, I have watched your gardening videos since the beginning, so I feel I "know" you. Watching you progress through this video, I couldn't help but get extremely emotional. Seeing you heal yourself gave me great joy! I think you are AWESOME. I am sending continued healing thoughts your way! Big Hugs from the US.
Man I am so happy for you. You look, sound and radiate so much more and it is from the heart. Well done mate. Been there, done that, read the book, got the T-shirt, washed it, sent it back, taped over the video and downloaded the app! Six years ago I was four stone overweight, type 2 diabetic with eye complications, high blood pressure, arthritic pain in lower joints, muscle pain. Now I am normal weight, totally off all medication with all signs normal. Still have some arthritic pain in right foot but I suspect that is due to a teenage injury. Just like you the medical profession did not want to know. Just like you I felt I had a life back. Just like you it was hard but so worth it. Just like you I'm a whizz in the kitchen making healthy meals. I moved from being junk food vegan to vegan wholefood plant based. AND... ...THANKS TO YOU I am now growing a massive amount of home grown vegetables in my back garden (hardly no lawn left). Even using the roof of my porch as a growing area. This will cut down the amount of residual pesticides, growth inhibitors, emulsifiers, preservatives, additives and other treatments and chemicals used in the food industry. I have learnt to much watching your videos and I am so happy to see you improve and even thrive. Onwards and upwards my friend and enjoy your journey. Two years ago I stopped chasing the RUclips algorithm to concentrate on my own health and only recently I now feel I can get back to making more videos.
I’m just starting this video. I really hope you’re feeling better. I have Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes and ulcerative colitis… along with psoriasis just for fun. So I get it to a degree. I’m very optimistic you’re going to feel better. Healing takes time.
I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2019. Through prayer God led me to a plant based diet. Within 8 months I had loss over 30 pounds and my med was cut in half. At 12 months my tests results showed I'm no longer diabetic.💃 I was taken off medication! Sweet Lord!🙂
❤️
So the fruit sugars were not a problem for you? I'm hovering in pre-diabetic land and I really, really want to avoid full blown diabetes. I've moved toward a more plant-based diet recently and feel like it might be a good path, but anytime I pop a piece of pineapple or crunch into an apple I worry that I'm shooting myself in the foot...
@@angelafrench1226 Go on RUclips and watch Dr. Michael Greger's videos...that's where the Lord led me to start my journey to reverse the diabetes. I went from diabetic to prediabetic and then normal range. I did go with the no oils, dairy, etc strict plant base at first. However my blood sugar never spiked when I are fruit so I kept it in my diet...also I did no sugar, sugar...just agave nectar. I can't do stevia and honey or I would them.
My plant base includes small amounts of meat...usually not beef. I aim at two meat free meals a day and my meal with meat is usually way smaller than a deck of cards.🙂 Angela, I wish you great health!🙂
I haven't had issue with diabetes, but grew up with heavy sugar consumption. I tried replacing most of my sugar consumption with whole medjool dates which never gave me negative feelings sugary things would, despite the high sugar content in dates. They helped me greatly with dealing with craving/changing to plant based foods and now have a 2Lb tub of date seeds from it lol. I dont eat them anywhere near as often now, but they really helped with a transition from a soon-to-be-diabetic diet to purely eating plants.
@@angelafrench1226 You definitely want to start making oatmeal in the morning. Buy a big organic bag for the best value. They're known for regulating blood sugar. Also, eat more barley and avoid too much white rice, bread and processed sugary foods (obviously). I hope that helps but dr. Michael Gregor is a really good place to start researching as that other person said
Had cancer 17 years ago and switched to eating WFPB. On no medications today at 61 years old. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and keep up your fantastic new lifestyle.
Awesome. So glad you're doing better. Having challenges for quite a long time. I'm working on getting this osteoarthritis out of my body. Snacking on walnuts and raisins right now and watching this video.
@@fuldagermany try blending fresh pineapple, & eliminate wheat from your diet. If you’re craving for wheat get NON-GMO. Include raw red onion in your diet.
@@fuldagermany You can reduce inflammation, but you cant reverse osteoarthritis.
Another encouraging story. Seen so many on the comments section. Good health to you 🍅🥬🍋
@@cheezheadz3928 Dr. John Bergman holistic nutritionist as well as a chiropractor. Search him about osteoarthritis
So sorry you have to apologize for eating the only diet clinically proven to reverse numerous chronic illnesses (as stated clearly by the North American Association of Dietetics). It's wonderful you have been able to regain your health! When it's gone, life really sucks!! Thanks for sharing despite cultural biases reinforced by billions of dollars of marketing. :)
👌🙏
Couldn’t have said it better!!!! 👏🏽
I have been a vegetarian for over 40 years but don't have cheese butter or eggs I feel fine but have just gone over to a plant base eating you are right you have got to eat a lot more but I have always felt keep up the good work hope your operation goes OK don't never go back to medication they are licence drug dealers 😊
7 months ago I could not even walk my dogs 100mters with out crippling angina. Two days ago I ran 1km pain free. It's been 7 months of strictly the veg and fruit out of my garden and nothing else other than oats, flax seed and chia seeds with berries. Plant based diets work. Thanks for sharing your journey
Thats amazing! How are you now?
Don't be afraid of potatoes and beans too! Helps you feel full, and beans are one of the healthiest foods on the planet
Dear Project Diaries. I cry too. Our SYSTEM is not a "Health Care System" it is a "There's a pill for that System."
Medical professionals get degrees in disease maintenance.. that's literally what it's called. smh
A pill and a bill
Big Pharma are not interested in resolving sickness and making people healthy as that is a lost cu$tomer.
I understand your pain my brother. I was almost crying with you. I am on a plant-based diet as well and I have never looked back. God is the only true healer and He has put all the medicines we need in nature. We just have to do our research and use them accordingly. I have learnt so much from your channel. Keep up the work and God's blessings for the future.
😊👍💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏
How do you cooked your veggies. I always use oil to cook veggies
All the green veggies i steam, tastes excellent
I am crying with you. May the good Lord God heal you, in Jesus name. I am seeking healing too as I withdraw from benzos. So many are advising a WFPB diet. I find the idea of trying foods I haven't tried, cooked with and not even sure where to buy them.
Your a strong and brave man.......Your a credit to yourself Respect for all your fighting through
Thank you Judtin. :)
So happy you found something that worked for you and improved your life so dramatically.
My partner was diagnosed with Colitis 5 months ago and we both started a whole food plant based diet and the effects on her body where astounding and has seemed to have reversed her condition. My mum started to follow it to loose weight and her joint problems cleared up in a matter of days after years of agonising pain. I have personally lost 4 stone in 5 months and feel amazing for it - I’ve gone from Obese to a healthy weight. Can’t believe how such an easy move is so positive on the human body. I really enjoyed your video and loved to watch your journey and the positive effects this way of eating had on your body and your life - thank you for sharing it with us! And good luck for the future
That’s amazing! Well done to you and your family and I hope you continue to feel amazing. I’m inspired to give it a try x
It's so hard to lose weight, considering trying this.
I’m so sorry for the pain you’re experiencing ❤love, peace and light to you!
You are no longer shadowbanned, as this video appeared on my Home page today and I have never heard of you before. So congrats on getting back on the RUclips algorithms!
That's amazing news! :)
@@ProjectDiaries it appeared on my homepage today too. x
And mine ,glad it did you are incredible.
And mine too!!!
It appeared on mine as well.
Thank you, Lee, for your honesty. You are in a battle for your very life, and you are using the weapons of Eden to fight back. So happy for your incredible transformation so far, and I wish you continued success.
Been vegan for ethical reasons for a long time and noticed how good a raw veggie salad for lunch is. Oatmeal for breakfast. No alcohol but sometimes the herb as an antidepressant... :) Nature is the best medicine!
Plants are always the cure! The closer you are to nature, the better.
I really wish there were easy ways to get the general public educated about the Endothelium.
Yes indeed best doctor of all time
@@tatts1901 I encourage you look into the Endothelium, and see why certain foods nurture it, and other foods damage it. I agree with you, just because something is natural, like cyanide, doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Thankfully through the work of good people like Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Dean Ornish, and Dr. John McDougall, we’ve got hard science backing the fact that majority of western diseases can be prevented and even reversed with Whole Food Plant Based nutrition. I won’t recommend a book, because I think many people don’t want to make time to read these days, but “Eating You Alive”. Is a free documentary on Tubi, that will get you up to date with the science. I wish you the best. 🙏
@@tatts1901 A placebo effect would be great, and if that’s the case here, reversing people’s cancers and even giving us measurable data that we can see with our eyes under a microscope is one heck of a placebo. I highly encourage watching “Eating You Alive.” It’s a pretty comprehensive documentary.
Whole food/ plant based is life changing. Dr. Esselstyn and the documentary “Forks over Knives” is mind blowing.
It’s worth a look, my friend❣️
I’m so happy for you
The doctor’s name is Esselstyn. ❤️
@@rainedyani8505 thanks for the correction 💕
I watched that last night. Everything they spoke was the truth.
I’ve been WFPB for over a year and it changed my life, I can’t imagine eating anything else. When I go to the grocery store I can’t wait to see what the have for veggies I’m so addicted to them. I’m 55 and I was very sick and had to make a change like yourself and I am no longer sick. Keep with it and stay healthy.
Hope this doesn't come across rude but ive never heard the turm WFPB. What is WFPB?
@@elizabethlopez6233 W-hole F-ood P-lant B-ase
@elizabethlopez6 2:21 233 i guess whole food plant based
I enjoyed this video so much! I was crying along with you at the beginning when things were going so badly, and I'm so happy for you that you're feeling so much better! I'm a long time plant based eater myself, but really cutting out all the unneccessary stuff (alcohol, sugar, breads, etc.) helped me so much too. Through doing that I was able to recover from chronic fatigue that had me almost bed ridden. I'm now doing alternate day fasting which is giving me so much energy and has been the thing that's finally helped my insomnia. Anyway thanks so much for sharing this video. You look amazing!
I'm so glad you've found relief. Fatigue is very misunderstood for many people but it can be crippling. Thank you for your lovely compliment. It was the best choice I ever made. :)
Been vegan for 8 years now no going back, feel amazing ,good luck buddy .💖
Amazing! Thank you.
I've been vegan for over 8 years too. I did it for ethics but the health benefits are brilliant. I control IBS and no migraines. Stay healthy and stay plant based .
@@lynnerobinson6425 💖👍
I had a colonoscopy 2 years ago. Whilst looking at my colon the specialist asked if I was plant based. I said I had been 15 years ago, he told me if he could recommend one thing to me it would be to go back plant based and stay that way. I do feel so much better not eating meat.
@Asherah 1147 Thanks for your comment, as I am looking to completely change my diet and go vegan. I even did some research on a complete meal replacement that has been buzzing, seemingly everywhere on social media sites, "Ka'Chava". Since I don't know where to start, I feel like it could help halfway with the complete meal smoothie.
Your comment, along with others, have given me insight, however, I feel you didn't have to come off as argumentative. How can you tell someone else about a procedure they had? Or the conversation between them and their doctor or primary care physician, under client confidentiality? Or what was seen on the screen in their butt, lol?
I did the same as you 18 months ago stopped everything and started a plant base diet I lost 3.5 stone and 6 inches off my waste. Feeling awesome I have started trying the vegan meets for burgers like. Best thing I have ever done. Well done glad your feeling better.. 👍
Hi dear. How long did it take you to lose the 3.5 stones . Thanks
@@sarona7721 with a bit of exercise 3 times a week it took me about 6 months. I still stick to this lift style change NOT A DIET and have kept the weight off.. If you think of it as a diet you will never get there I calorie count also.. Someone else I know seen the difference in me and tried it for himself but didn't lose anything because he kept switching back and forth between a plant base diet and eating meat. Thanks take care
I found this so interesting as I have chronic pain from arthritis and fibromyalgia, insomnia , depression, neck/shoulder pain, lower back pain, brain fatigue etc, so this is a big motivational message for me, I’m going to give it a go!
If you are on painkillers and anti-depressants and things, I want you to read what I wrote today in another comment. You have so much pain, but still your body doesn't get a chance to heal by help of its own system. Some of your pain could/might be from side-effects from the medicines. Consider abstinence between pills! Read and inform yourself.
There probably is tissue-damage behind part of your pain, and part of the pain can be from your nerves and brain. Bone is renewed more slowly than softer body-parts. The cells of the whole body, teeth and all, are replaced within 7 years. Let that give you hope. Eat healthy plant-based whole food so there are building elements to use. Exercise, but very, very moderately, stretch and relax, tighten and relax, softly, very moderately to help with fibromyalgia and insomnia. Some programs for beginners are too heavy for you, so listen to your body.
When your inner wisdom whispers kind suggestions to you, try them ... give yourself and your body lots of time to heal.
I send you heaps cheering and support from, it is from somebody who has struggled, too, and is struggling with almost the same things - I don't have depression (anymore, it was very long ago) and not arthritis, but high blood pressure and tendonitis and what not (can't even take a walk right now), hernia and osteoprosis, but am determined to get into better shape. I have stressed too much, and been careless against better knowledge, but enough is enough, and from now on I am my own measure, and others may think whatever they want about my limits. I will stubbornly listen to my body and soul, for not even those who wish me the best, know how sensitively I function. We are not all the same. It's OK.
Hi Anne, there are hundreds and thousands of us reversing fibromyalgia, brain fog, chronic fatigue and depression with Medical Medium. If you want to learn where the illness comes from, check him out.
@@pawlet is it a different message than this one from plant based results? What is it based on? The word medium puts me off, as a Christian we are told in the Bible to have nothing to do with the occult and that’s generally what mediums are about.
@@Godisgood173 some people do have issues with where he gets his info from. He tells the story that a voice tells him what is wrong with people and how to heal them. He's been doing this since he was 4 years old. It's 100% plant based. If you are in pain and suffering, the truth is appreciated. However, if you are not comfortable with the Spirit of Compassion, then don't look into him. Stay with Dr Goldhammer, Dr Fuhrman, Hippocrates health center and science based.
@Anne Suffolk, I also have fibromyalgia with a lot of the symptoms you mention. I've been eating plant-based for about 6 years. It's a gamechanger for me. I will not say I'm cured, but I'm so much better now than I was 6 years ago.
For me it's important to eat as clean as possible (lots of greens, fruits, veggies and beans and minimize the amount of sugar). Also drink enough water (I drink about 2,5 litre of water). I don't take any medications anymore, just some medications when I really overdo it with my activities (like moving house or other over the top activities like that).
My husband and I are Vegan. You’re so right, veganism can be really unhealthy. So, I’m looking forward to following your journey, learning and growing my plant-based diet with you! Thank you for such an informative, kind, and thoughtful video.
I think that what you are doing for your body is fantastic. My wife and I went plant based in January 2019 and still continue this lifestyle. The one thing we never do is call it a diet as diets are temporary we call it a lifestyle change. Keep up the great work and hope you are able to have your necessary surgeries soon..
Lee, I'm so happy for you! I have been slowly eating more WFPB especially this past year. A few years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Now my doctor says I have recovered from it. She is amazed and before I changed my diet she told me that I can only control the symptoms with pharmaceuticals.
This is in the USA.
I feel so much better now at 63 than I did at 43.
Keep at it and good luck with your surgery. Will be thinking of you and I look forward to seeing your next video.
Plant based diet is the best thing I’ve ever done.
I’m with you! Life-changing! 🌱❤️
Same
same.
Metoo!!
Meeee tooooo👍👍👍👍👍
You rock! Isn’t it amazing what a whole food plant based diet can do for you! It’s very annoying how doctors are not trained in nutrition and push meds for everything! Keep it going and can’t wait to see more from you!
Because if everyone ate plant based food, doctors are no longer needed.
I too struggle with health problems and hearing you share your pain so vulnerably truly touched me. That is why your transformation is so amazing. You went from crying to smiling and your smile is absolutely beautiful and contagious! I am so inspired by your bravery, discipline and determination to get more out of life. May your journey towards wellness continue to bring you healing. God bless you and keep smiling.
So so sorry to hear of everything you’ve been going through. Sincerely hope things go a bit better going forward. God Bless.
Hey Brother. You've been such a blessing to so many ppl with your videos and your charisma! God Bless you and we all wish you the very BEST!
LEE! Your video moved me so much! I could feel your pain and frustration with all you have had to deal with. I couldn't help but cry because of what you have had to endure. I can so relate, as I had cancer and was also hit by a truck which resulted with 9 surgeries. NOT ONE doctor asked me what I eat, or suggested a nutritional guideline to follow. I too, did it on my own with holistic care and plant based eating.
I'm a WFPB vegan for decades. When my doctors told me I was terminal, I told them F**k off, I'll heal myself. And I did. Happy you are doing that too! Sending you lots of Love and Light on your journey to wellness! xo
how are u now
RUclips’s algorithm suggested this video to me and I am so grateful that I watched it! Thank you for sharing your journey. I wish you the best.
So glad this video popped up for me. Can't remember the last time I watched one and I remember how much I used to learn and how much I felt encouraged. Thank you for the time you put into your videos.
Wow!! Literally the minute you started eating WFPB you looked brand new! I saw it right away. I love how you fought so hard!! Brings tears to my eyes. I have been WFPB almost 2 years. My entire outlook is different now. My new friends are here in these videos! ❤
2 years ago I was ill, Iv been to the doctors with no help at all was told "Just to live with it" so I had enough I went home and Googled how to help myself, iv been vegan for 2 year now and feel great on no medication I wish I had done it years ago 🌱 xx
Please, please , stay with a plant based diet, it is the best way to help with your health, best wishes to you
This video is a few years old now and I'm still going strong! :)
@@ProjectDiaries video said 7 month's old. Did you post after doing it for a year?
@Project Diaries I’m an ex army guy struggling hugely with extreme mental/anxiety & similar pains such as yourself plus I’m fully disabled from injuries incurred from my service. Please please 🙏 do more videos as u literally have saved me once. I’m also on a huge script & my o2 levels constantly go into the 60% range which I should go into resus but if I did that I would never be out of hospital. Your videos have helped immensely & please please 🙏 do as much as u can. Again I can’t thank you enough Mark, Bourneville, Birmingham 😊
A whole foods plant based diet is SOOOOO good for you. Take a look at the centenarians that live in the blue zones, all 5 areas have a diet based in plants with meat being very minimal, like special occasions, one of them is completely vegetarian. My family has benefited from pbwf for over a decade, it's a lifestyle for us now!
No disrespect intended, but a centurion is an officer commanding a Roman legion; I think you meant centenarian. you gave me a chuckle though, thanks!
@@jacquigriffin5973 you are completely right and now I'm laughing 😂 I was probably distracted while I typed originally, but I made the correction! Thanks for letting me know haha
I've been a vegetarian practically all my life. My father was a butcher so I felt nauseated around meat. But I was an overweight junk food vegetarian. In 2020 due to the pandemic I adopted a whole food plant based diet and in 6 months I lost all the extra weight I had. Now I have a normal body weight. I'm thin but not as skinny as I would like to be. I wish I could lose another 5 kilos or so. I'm working on it. You keep up the good work and I hope you recover soon from all your ailments.
Well done to you.
@@angellacothrell6639 ❤️😀
You are a real fighter Lee ♥️ sending you love and positive healing vibes. The gift you give by sharing your projects, life story, struggles, and courage with the world is truly special. As someone battling depression who did not want to get out of bed today, this video gave me hope. Thank you :)
I went from crying to being absolutely over joyed for you. Thank you so much for documenting & sharing your journey. I'm truly sorry the medical industry failed you so badly but I'm trilled you have taken back your power & are healing yourself though your own research. Seeing the difference in you from the start of the video to the end, is simply beautiful. I wish you the absolute best & most beautiful life & again, thank you very very much for sharing, you will be an inspiration to many! Much love from Australia ❤
Inspirational is the only word that comes to mind. I too came off all my pain meds but took a little longer than you did, but with similar results! Now on a Vegan/plant based diet and growing much of our own veggies. Feeling great but still some way to go on the weight front. Gone from 15st to 13st 12lb in a month and feeling good. Thanks for all your videos. Keep well and stay safe.
Just finding your channel and it is such a pleasure. I couldn’t help but root for your healing journey. My husband and I have started the whole plant lifestyle and wow! At 40 my husband’s cholesterol was extremely high and we choose to allow food to heal and not the medicine prescribed. I’m enjoying this new journey. God bless you and your transparency - you are helping a lot of people.
😭Doctors have destroyed my life. Being thought to respect Authority and doctors and do exactly what they tell me to do has lead to the same downfalls that you have and it's sad that it takes us turning 30-plus and them saying they give up on us for us to realize that we have to take matters into our own hands and just go back to basics! So you keep doing what you're doing. 🖤
So true. My mother has suffered from diabetes for years following doctors orders and has gotten progressively worse. I have tried to get her to go plant based but she tells me her doctor tells her to keep taking her meds.
I'm glad your back! I'm so sorry that you ve been through so much! Thank you for sharing!!!🙂
This is so exciting! I absolutely loved seeing your transformation! you look so good, such a difference:) I hope your operation goes fantastic and will be looking forward to seeing your continued healthy progress! Cheers!
I just switched to a plant based diet about two weeks ago because I was sick of being on meds for my asthma. Though I'm not off the med completely, I only have to use my control med once a day instead of twice! The days I slipped up and ate more items with dairy in it, the worse my asthma was! I was blown away by how much it has helped my asthma!

He didn't say it, Hippocrates did🤷
This is so true
@Trinity M You're taking it too literally.
I’m so proud of you. You are one of my very favorite gardeners on RUclips! I just became Plant Based in the last 2 months and like you, I didn’t know what to expect. So far I love and plan to never go back. I’ll be praying for you. May God Bless you!! Much love!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hope all goes well with your operations and wish you a speedy recovery.
Nice man! Happy for you!! I am on a plant based diet as well and i feel great!
Awesome! So glad it's helped you too. Thank you!
Happy for you!
I eat what I grow and I don't buy processed food if I can avoid it. I am happy you found a way of healing yourself.
I'm almost 60 yrs old. I started taking control of my health 2.5 yrs ago. Even though im going to the gym 4x week and eating healthier i know theres definitely room for improvement. I'm very excited to see how eating whole plant based foods have helped you 💚 I also want to say that even though i was obese i have never been on any rx except an emergency inhaler for asthma. In the 2.5 yrs ive gotten off my inhaler! Isn't it amazing how God designed our bodies to thrive on what he provides rather than so much synthetic garbage?!❤
Really happy to have found your channel. I went whole food plant based nearly 3 years ago and have lost over 18 stone and I now feel the best I've ever felt. Well done in getting off all your meds and doing it by changing to the best lifestyle there is. Watching you go through your changes in this vid brought tears to my eyes, you are an inspiration, well done again and keep up the excellent work :)
Your face and skin looks so good as you progressed through the eating protocol!
I did film a face close up when my skin was bad but I couldn't bear seeing it in the video so cut it out. Thank you so much. It's really helped rebuild my confidence. :)
Hello, I’m in New Zealand listening to you, lol , great video, my family and I have been on a quest to change our eating habits, we’ve change everything and are focusing on a more plant base diet with loads of fruits as well , your experience will help so many and me too , thank you and looking forward to seeing more videos and learning from them!
Praying for you to feel better. So glad plants help you so much my wife, and I are now 3 weeks into a vegan diet, and seeing amazing results. Keep the great work going, you are an amazing person Mate.
That's great news! I'm so happy for you. Keep it up.
What a touching video. To see you go from so much pain in the beginning to feeling happy and energetic is wonderful! I'm genuinely happy for you.
With plant based my cravings are virtually non existent.
Totally agree!!!!! Can't remember the last time I had a craving. I went WFPB 5 yrs ago. I use to love Burger King hamburgers. So I thought I'd try there PB burger. Tasted just like I remember, but SHOCKER I didn't like it any more. That was the last time I tried fake meat.
You're so strong, making the decision, making it happen and sharing all you have experienced. Thanks for putting yourself out there so vulnerable. I'm sure you're helping more people that you might even think, but the most important is that your health is back and you can enjoy your life 💕✨
My hair was also coming out when I started this way of eating I now eat 1 Brazil nut and iodised salt ( 1/4 tsp salt ) a day and it no longer comes out . Both are good for your thyroid health
Selenium for anyone wondering why a Brazil nut 😄
@@CLBellamey yep

Keep it up and keep positive. Have suffered with depression for many years and arthritis . You are motivational and an inspiration. Believe that this will work for you and keep these wonderful posts up to help yourself and all of us subscribers❤❤
I'm sorry I am just now seeing this video. My heart goes out to you, sweetie!! Praying that you are better now and still nourishing your body properly. Much love and hugs to you!!
Love WFPB! I'm a health coach and I love helping people learn how to transition to this kind of diet. Good for you for undertaking the journey!!
Thank you for taking us on your journey. So glad your experiment worked for you! Wishing you the best on your surgeries.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this, Lee. We can all learn from your tenacity, bravery, positivity, and educationalitivity. You've inspired me to clean up my diet too.
Thank you for your bravery, I have been a diabetic since I was 8, cancer, hypothyroidism, Ms, osteroporosis, raynauds, hair loss, chronic fatigue, and so much more. Like you, I'm now leaning towards what I can do, to stop the pain, both mentally, and physically. I love you for sharing your story. Namasta
Congratulations on your success with a WFPB diet. You’re an inspiration. Best wishes for your surgery.
04:33 - that moment looking out the window. Reflecting. Making that decision that enough is enough - he made a choice, then and there, to take control of his "conditions".
Almost had me cry, man. Felt for you. Good thing you changed your diet and improved your health. Best of luck and fortunate health to ya, bud.
On a plant based diet, my arthritus took 4 months to completely resolve. Stay true to plants, everything else will just fall in place. Congrats on your success.
Hi earthbybike
This is very encouraging. Did you eat fruit or any grains to get results. Is your arthritis still resolved?
@@natpierce2008 Yes, it's been 7 yrs now and it has never come back.
Good luck to you! I don't see your name anywhere. I really appreciate you documenting your journey. You look great. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration!
Lee what an amazing journey. Just watched this and both me and my husband are feeling so inspired. You deserve great support from your followers and you are doing the world a great service by sharing this content. Thankyou for your vulnerability, I'm sure it will change the lives of many who think the common medical approach is the only way. May you continue to feel happy, healthy and well. I also recommend finding a good Ayurvedic practitioner to help you as your healing continues.
Bless You Man, Be Plant Strong. You have the power! Anything you need we've all got your back!
Sorry to hear that you are going through so much. The Plantbased diet hopefully will help. Trying it out myself as I think plants are the real medicine. All the best dude And keep us updated 🙂✌️💚
Oh honey, I felt so much watching your video. I completely understand your pain. That feeling like, what do I need to do, why do I keep suffering when I am trying so desperately to get well. I have spent countless hours sobbing and wanting to give up. I started the wfpb no oil way of eating a week ago, I have no support, a partner that eats an unhealthy diet and drinks, I don't know a single person who eats this way. I just so badly wanted to give you a hug watching you be so open honest and vulnerable.
Whole Food Plant Based is the way to go!! Glad you found it and the best to you
I have never seen any of your videos, my husband and I have been having health issues pop up more and more. I cried with you at the start 😢
I am watching lots of videos to find what has helped others.
What an inspiration you are! I'm so happy for you. Well done 😊
Man, you are a complete inspiration. I am 65 and find it difficult to deal with pain. This is something I should talk to GP about, but I doubt I could do it. I love my JD too much. And my God, you have a gorgeous smile when you are happy.
Thrilled that you're feeling so much better.
Long may you continue to feel well...
A lovely bloke you still look out for grandad.
All best wishes for the future..
Thank you Rae! :)
So happy you re feeling better. Hope you continue feeling even better.
When I was a young healthy teen, I went on Atkins with my mom, and it made me throw up blood. I have had a couple other experiences where red meat caused me extreme bloody diarrhea etc. so for me at least the plant based diet is the one that helped my digestive issues and blood pressure as well as when I had high cholesterol I tried Vegan for the first time, after a little over one month I went back to get a cholesterol test and it was down 79 points. I do feel better on plant based.
I am so happy for you. Thank you so much for sharing your dairy. PLEASE CONTINUE POSTING YOUR JOURNEY AND WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO TO GET WHERE YOU ARE. yOU WILL BE HELPING MANY PEOPLE.
Fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m so pleased for you Lee
It’s fascinating what plant food can do for you & I’m sending you my blessing and best vibes to you 😇x
I watched this video because it was in the auto play on my RUclips. I know this was a year ago and I have no idea where you are at now but you are a trooper and knowing the risks just from being on all that medication that harms so much more than it helps... You getting off of them all could really have saved your future if not your life. I am amazed by what you have accomplished in this video. The drugs.. the sugar.. amazing. I really hope you continue to limit these things. I think you show great strength that many wish they had. Be proud.
This is the first time I have seen your Channel and I really enjoyed it! I recently have done a similar thing, I was having terrible health problems in and out of the hospital and all the doctors could do Is throw meds at me. I stopped eating all the junk and started eating mainly fruits and veggies. And I feel 1000% better!! I cant believe the difference thus far. I am 4 weeks in and love it. Even exercising daily. I felt like I was 100 yrs old and thought how am I going to feel When Im in my 50s if I feel this bad right now. Im so happy I have done this for myself. Good job at taking your health into your own hands. Im going to find that app you are using.😊
So glad for you. I have been plant based for about six months.
Welcome back!!!
I've shared your channel with so many people.
Good luck and wishing you future good health 💞
Thank you so much for your support! :)
Fabulous to see you back. You disappeared and life got crazy with me to. You are wonderful and I wish your healing journey brings you back to health.
Your a legend. Even on a plant based diet I would still get acid reflux occasionally. Drinking water with apple cider vinegar seemed to have cured that for me which I am stoked about. But it is awesome seeing your plant based journey. I am so glad you shared it with us. Thank you and look forward to all the future videos.
SFV try it before doing wfpb
Exactly! I've actually got an apple cider video coming soon. I'm so glad you found benefits too.
Have you reduced or eliminated caffeine and chocolate?
@@cheezheadz3928 none at all. Dark chocolate at Easter but that's it.
I suffered from the same thing and when I went WFPB things changed dramatically but I still suffered from acid reflux from time to time (sweet peppers at night are one of the culprits) . I've been on a "restricted" diet for a few months advised by my nutritionist and I'm taking several supplements to build up my stomach and I don't experience reflux anymore. I can only eat white fish and cooked vegetables and absolutely nothing processed because it's easier on the digestive system. The chronic acid reflux was as a result of taking opremazole for my stomach when I had acid reflux in the first place. Now I have low acid and I am in the process of correcting it. Now I can eat peppers at night so it's a step in the right direction 😀
I have gone plant based at 74 years old….and I will pray that it is very successful for you!! It has been good for many and I pray God sustains you through this to finally get your health back! Praying!
You look incredible now! You're whole demeaner and eyes just exude health and happiness. I have pcos and a more wholegrain, plant based and lean meat diet is what seems to be what can help elevate my symptoms (not cure) but it's just getting then kick up the backside to do it, your video has inspired me 😊
Best of luck! I have turned also to plant based diet and my inflamation and aches are going away. Looking forward to continued episodes. God bless you. 🙇♀️❤
Lee I am so happy for you! 😃 Thank you for sharing your journey. I need to kick my sugar addiction and this is inspiring.
Sugar is soooooo bad! Good luck.
Currently 80% WFPB and 20% plant based junk… need to work up the willpower to cut out the processed rubbish I occasionally binge on and go full WFPB. Either way though, 3 years of plant-based has cured my severe chronic migraines, reduced my blood pressure, helped me get a better body and cured my IBS. Fantastic vid man, well done for braving it and coming off the pills. Looking good 👍
Going plantbased was the best decision I ever made. I try to stick to whole foods, but it's difficult. I gotto admit I can be a bit of a junk-vegan sometimes. But all in all the best diet I have been on and will continue it. I am so happy you are feeling better!
Trying to do mostly plant based. I need more recipes, especially for my husband. He had a heart attack on memorial day and he's only in his 50s. Today he got the results back of the toxic nuclear stress test he had to get. We have been about 75% plant based since the heart attack and he got good news today that there is reversal of plaque in his arteries. I give credit to the plants not the drugs. We will continue to strive to get to 100%, I just need to find more recipes. Thanks for your videos, stay encouraged!
That’s amazing! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and wish that you keep going, feeling better and better, bringing happiness through food to millions out there. Hope this video can reach others that are also in need, really happy for you! Stay strong, alive and healthy! Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge! 😄
Hi Lee, I have watched your gardening videos since the beginning, so I feel
I "know" you. Watching you progress through this video, I couldn't help but
get extremely emotional. Seeing you heal yourself gave me great joy!
I think you are AWESOME. I am sending continued healing thoughts your way!
Big Hugs from the US.
Man I am so happy for you. You look, sound and radiate so much more and it is from the heart. Well done mate. Been there, done that, read the book, got the T-shirt, washed it, sent it back, taped over the video and downloaded the app! Six years ago I was four stone overweight, type 2 diabetic with eye complications, high blood pressure, arthritic pain in lower joints, muscle pain. Now I am normal weight, totally off all medication with all signs normal. Still have some arthritic pain in right foot but I suspect that is due to a teenage injury. Just like you the medical profession did not want to know. Just like you I felt I had a life back. Just like you it was hard but so worth it. Just like you I'm a whizz in the kitchen making healthy meals. I moved from being junk food vegan to vegan wholefood plant based. AND... ...THANKS TO YOU I am now growing a massive amount of home grown vegetables in my back garden (hardly no lawn left). Even using the roof of my porch as a growing area. This will cut down the amount of residual pesticides, growth inhibitors, emulsifiers, preservatives, additives and other treatments and chemicals used in the food industry. I have learnt to much watching your videos and I am so happy to see you improve and even thrive. Onwards and upwards my friend and enjoy your journey. Two years ago I stopped chasing the RUclips algorithm to concentrate on my own health and only recently I now feel I can get back to making more videos.
I’m just starting this video. I really hope you’re feeling better. I have Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes and ulcerative colitis… along with psoriasis just for fun.
So I get it to a degree.
I’m very optimistic you’re going to feel better. Healing takes time.
I’ve been vegan 5+ years best decision I made 😊 .. glad your feeling better 👍
Yes! Thank you!
