I love your videos, and everything you do. Speaking as a 70 year old guy who lost 120 pounds over the last 10 years and massively turned my health around I encountered all kinds of comments from especially some of my closest, and the haters are definitely out there. My favorite way to spin this is to use it as a great opportunity to make some new friends, most of whom approve of the changes I made, and some have even made considerable changes in their diets too. If there is just one thing I've learned in life, it's that you can never control what people are going to think, so just be yourself.
Thank you as usual for your very timely encouragements..we are very grateful to have YOU on our side..I have lost over 25 lbs...am between 106 and 110 lbs..but I feel so great that I really try very hard to stick to your your plan .so being too skinny according to others..I do not care🎉
Keep going, Geraldine. It sounds like you're doing really well. If others say that you're too thin, just say that you are slim, and smile! But if people keep making nasty comments to make you feel bad about your weight loss maybe it's time to make new friends.
Whenever I think about peer pressure, I think of the saying, "Misery loves company" - when you are doing something unhealthy or that you might regret (overeating, taking drugs, smoking, even having tattoos) you want others to join you so you feel good about yourself. I am quite firm in saying "no" and nobody questions or bullies me about my choices, it's just a fact that I eat in a certain way and it's my business. Just say "no, thank you!" (with a smile) and move on, no need to explain, let alone apologise, just stand your ground and lead by example. Ignore unpleasant comments, if necessary avoid meeting toxic people (I've dropped one "friend", an obese, pre-diabetic lady who described me as "too skinny") and make new friends! My new friends are interested in my way of eating even though they're not WFPB themselves. I don't push veganism but if asked I talk about it lightly. My new friends have only known me as healthy and slim and they look up to me, they've told me they'd like to try plant-based and lose some weight too.
It's so rude to comment on other people's body or weight and sometimes you don't know how to respond. Now I just say, "I don't comment about your body so please do not comment on mine, I like the way I look, thank you very much."
Thank you doctor ❤🙏🏻 everyday I feel better and better I’ve been vegan 3 months I started the shakes I feel the change more energy ..my skin was always clear but with these shakes I’ve gotten asked if I’ve had work done lol 😂 so I’m feeling myself 😊 now
Ohhh are you right. I get so much grief from overweight people. They feel free to make derisive comments about my weight but if I commented on their weight (which I never would) I’d be skewered. It’s very frustrating
I am Italian and we have a saying, "Look at your own plate!" meaning, don't comment on how other people eat or what's on their plate if you want to have a pleasant, convivial meal
I'm 69 years old and have had 5 heart attacks with very little damage. That is amazing in its self. After my last event a year and one half ago I went completely plant base diet. Always looking for a way to up my diet but I do have trouble drinking Kale smoothies. The texture and taste is hard for me. Anyway to help with this?
Spinach is better in taste and texture. Be sure to use a high speed blender too as that contributes to the texture. Defo use a straw and find the combo of fruit you like. Experiment. I hate for example bananas in mine … ❤
I ditched the flax seeds and their gelatinous texture for flax oil. My smoothies are much thinner now and much more decorous! Used to eat them almost as a chore, now I enjoy them. Also, if you find the greens too bitter, all cabbage smoothies are great (the taste is much more easily masked by the fruit).
@@lizt.5374 i hate flax seed texture too. I do however use chia which is not gelatinous and makes them thick. Perhaps worth trying flax oil at times. How much flax oil does Dr G recommend and do you add it to the smoothies?. Thanks
Once you start liking and loving your body, mental health also improves. I was depressed since childhood, anxious and full of fear. At 57 I feel happy and positive, and have been like this for 4 years, I did not think it was possible to change, it's really like being reborn and start living again
Tks Doctor G ❤. U say we can heal on supermarket foods ~ i dont have access to organic & i can only get basic fruit & veg. I live in a v small town in South Africa. Can i still heal ? Xx
Of course! I grew up in Italy in the 70s we didn't have exotic fruit, just basic apple, bananas, pears, grapes, peaches and nectarines when in season, not throughout the year. Just eat simply and (I'm saying this in the nicest possible way) don't make excuses! Most people (including me) can't afford organic products, just triple wash everything. Good luck!
Dr G says you don’t need organic. And if you can’t easily get some ingredient (e.g kale) you can use any cruciferous vegetable (I.e. cabbage, cauliflower, etc)
@@brendahulett8428 They work surprising well! In fact I find cabbage and cauliflower much subtler vegetable taste than kale. Cauli and red cabbage w strawberries, cinnamon, vanilla and a bit of almond milk is a delicious combo!
Symptoms comes from deficiency. Our body start crying out for nutrition when we are running out. When we get dehydrated our urine gets dark yellow. We don't drink water sometimes, but all the time or else the symptom of dehydration wiil return. I wonder why older people start keying symptoms when they get old because their body wasn't taking care of. Collagen, vitamins, minerals, was depleting and they didn't know until the symptoms showed up.
The saturated fat is the problem with coconut milk. I personally have coconut milk as a treat (typically in plant-based laksa), and not a regular staple in my diet.
People keep calling me skinny, like that’s a bad thing! LOL. Your eyeshadows that you are wearing here is gorgeous on you. Would you mind sharing the colors and eyeshadow brand?
Thank you for your videos. I am now officially raw vegan for life! SOS free per Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. These videos just help reinforce the message for me as society, culture is preaching the opposite ... a life of sickness and addiction. I do not want that in my life.
She's weight 125 pounds? She should be treated by some medical staff. I wrote under some her video she don't look good but it's worse that I thought... Or it's her hight like 5.3? Then I apologizs...
It's a wonder you don't have 100 million subscribers and a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine! Thank you, Dr. G!

Big appreciation for you here Doc ❤🥦🍎🥬🍅💚
I just tell them I do what I want! You do you and I’ll do me.
So many people tell me I am underweight. One must sometimes have a thick skin😮Dr. B has some great insights here and I think she looks wonderful
Same here...so tired of people telling me I need meat

@@luluandmeow you are right....sometimes I just give my p o box number for food donations.
70 year old vegetarian and i appreciate your info and book. Cant wait for your new book.
You need to go vegan because dairy is for baby cows and you are not a baby cow and dairy comes from agritortured gmo sentient baby franken animals.
Spot on! I lost 155 pounds 16 years ago. The hate I got was uncanny. I have a food plan without sugar and white flour. Ppl are still looking funny.

Fantastic advice, another inspirational video 👊
Enshi - Thx so much!
70% of Americans are overweight and a whopping 40% of us are obese. So those of a normal weight are in the minority.
Mainly because doctors don't check patients BMI. I had to ask or they want say nothing....be your own advocate!

Always looking for a way to up my diet but I do have trouble drinking Kale smoothies. The texture and taste is hard for me. Anyway to help with this?
I use a wide straw and keep it cold in an insulated cup. The wide straw makes it easy to drink and helps keep it away from my taste buds.
Spinach is better in taste and texture. Be sure to use a high speed blender too as that contributes to the texture. Defo use a straw and find the combo of fruit you like. Experiment. I hate for example bananas in mine … ❤

My sister got angry at me when I quit sugar.
Why are potatoes bad or is it all carbs
Can Banana be toxic for some? Makes me feel super tired.

What a bunch of haters. God this world is so negative.
Dr. Goldner has helped thousands of people
Is coconut milk good or bad? Can someone clear my confusion please?
The saturated fat is the problem with coconut milk. I personally have coconut milk as a treat (typically in plant-based laksa), and not a regular staple in my diet.

Potatoes? Potatoes is what made that person sick or fall back into illness?
Potatoes are fine for most people, but for some people with kidney disease, it reduces their kidney function.
