Today is day 2 plant based. Pray for me everyone.
We pray that you do good today. Just take it one spoonful at a time. Chew your food and drink water. You can do this! Amen.
Checking in on you. How goes it now?
How is it goin
Keep on keeping on…. Here is to your best health.
Praying
Plant-based "diet" is NOT a "diet". This is a LIFESTYLE, what I chose 32 years ago. It was one of the best decisions of my life.
"Diet" is used here to describe what you're eating, not as a reference to losing weight.
I'm here for the diet knowledge. Some of us are new vegans and we're trying to learn.
Another interesting thing I found after being on a plant-based diet for a few months is that I would go into a grocery store and make a quick zip through aisles to the produce section, muttering along the way, 'not food, not food, not food' - until I came finally to the organic vegetable aisle! 😂
Ha! that's funny
Stick with it everyone! It's worth it
Can you share your experience?
@@gwenratner6200 I can help you out. its always the same. They start veganism, which means they basically quit ultra processed foods. They get short term results due to the junk food they stopped eating, and think its somehow the lack of animal products giving them the results. Then a few months down the road they start to experience mental health disorders and other negative health outcomes from malnourishment. At this point they either quit or continue to deteriorate even further because other vegans have convinced them that they "didnt do it correctly". We are not herbivores. Follow our natural human diet, eat animal based, avoid man-made plants as much as possible.
Whole food plant based diet is the future. Thank you.
I think it’s very important to show people step-by-step, meal by meal how easy it is! Most people don’t realize that the majority of their diet is probably already accidentally Plantbased. 🌱💞
true
My husband and I started our plant based eating today. We are doing this together and have been bringing down our meat consumption over the last year and today is day 1 for us. Glad to have found this.
Wonderful!
How have you guys been going so far?? My husband and I are tossing the thought around abt starting… need to improve so many health issues
@@margotaylor6157 follow the carnivore diet. Veganism is a man-made diet, its not our natural diet, ask any nutritional anthropologist. Veganism will damage your health
Hello !!! May I ask how you are doing with this diet and any updates you would like to share?
I switched to vegan eating 12 years ago, and went all in in one day, with some adjustments in the months who followed the decision. For me it was easy, I didn't missed meat. (It was easy because the way I felt after only few weeks of eating that way was so impressive, I was shocked! I felt like all the anxiety I carried in me for years was gone, and I was left with so much joy!).
However, it took me then some time to completely abandon the grip certain confort/family food had on me (including pizza and cheese. I am Italian). What was also difficul was to maintain this way of eating alone, since there were not support or right informations around me at that time, and my family ridiculed me (Internet was just at its beginning, I wasn't aware of the WFPB doctors and scientific evidences, except for the China Study, and certain healthy literature like Ehret's Diet without mucus). Luckily the evidences in my body were enough for me to know that I was in the right track.
Now the informations and scientific evidences are available to us all, and there are doctors and dietitians like this lovely woman, who are explaining how and why is good to eat a whole food plant based diet. This is helping a lot!
For what it count, I never regretted making that choice, my life changed drastically that day (improved in so many significant ways!).
Blessings to you all on this path.
🙏💚
my experience was the opposite. i tried it and only lasted 40 days. it gave me explosive diarrhea for two weeks straight, so bad i couldn't leave home, and i found it difficult to find enough food to consume while traveling. i hate rice and beans and that was all i had to eat in many places. and in some cases, i had nothing to eat. i also found that i overall, i overconsumed sugar, so the diet was still inflammatory. on the upside, i learned new recipes. lost a lot of weight while i was having diarrhea before it stabilized. and i learned that i really like oatmeal with almond milk and almond butter. i recently found out that almond milk is not sustainable.
I resonate with the comfort/family food. Thank you for sharing your story. You reminded me that we are not on a linear journey and it sounds like you’re doing well!
Going to try🙏🏼
It is all about deciding
vegan FTA!
I filled several times on a plant-based diet. The challenge for me was cooking for my husband and myself he’s not plant-based so I found myself giving in but I’ve never eaten red meat or pork so that wasn’t a challenge but I was given to have us, a piece of chicken with the rice and vegetables that I made for him. But now I’m sorting back and what I’m doing is just having a Protein once a week for the next four weeks and then I will continue to eliminate it until I’m totally eating a full plant-based diet. I’m determined to make it this time. Thanks for the video.
Dr! I found you! You serviced me on Doctor on Demand and you told me what to do. Then I couldnt find you after that. Thank you for all that you do. You helped me with my bp.
You told me:
1 green salad a day
1 palm full of walnuts
Incorporate beans, greens, nuts and seeds.
No added salt
And exercise
Raw vegetables nuts and seeds
I’m 52 years old with high blood pressure for 3 years. I’ve heard about whole food plant base meals and how great it is. I want to try this , but it’s so hard to start. After watching this video, I think I have somewhat a clue of how to start it off. This video was helpful. Thank you!
I’m also 52 and had high BP, high cholesterol, and triglycerides, as well as high A1C. I started WFPB a few years ago and still dabble with one vegan junk food meal weekly. I lost my extra 40 lbs and all my numbers are within normal limits now. I also seem to finally have MS stopped. I hope you’re kicking plant butt!! 💚
Hey, how’s your journey going!
Two months ago, I was in the hospital with VERY high blood pressure. I immediately changed my diet to eating only organic fruits and vegetables, very low sodium (I never add salt to anything I'm eating), no sugar, no caffeine, no oils, no meats, no dairy, and absolutely no processed foods. I eat three times a day and only drink filtered water. After two months, I've lost 30 pounds and I feel amazing! My blood pressure averages 100/80 and I'm weaning off of blood pressure medication (Carvedilol and Losartin).
It’s so great to see more people embrace the power of plant-based Whole Foods
It’s life changing. Glad to find your channel ❤ I jumped right in and never looked back. I find it also less expensive to eat this way. Sooo many benefits. ❤
Welcome aboard!
Oh my gosh I’m so thankful I found this video. I have been WFPB for over a year now and doing great but when I have a friend who needs information sometimes it’s hard to help them get started and this is such a great video. Thank you so much
OMG! I've been struggling with going wfpb and your video has been and eye opener! Thank you for your simply, peaceful and encouraging video!! 😊
Just found your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. I just started this journey I'm on day 3. You've answered questions I had. Can't wait to watch all of your other videos.
Dr. Marbas is a living example of the benefits of a WFPB diet. She doesn't seem to age. One would never guess that she is the mother of adult children.
She looks at least ten years younger in an interview she did two years ago.
The wonder of screen filters.
I am new to a plant based diet. I learned a lot on this video. Thank you. The reason I am giving up my old way of eating because my doctor told me that I have plaque in my arteries
This it's the first video I watch about plant based diet because in my weight lose journey (-46LB) I noticed my body felt with more energy/full/lose easier weight the days I just don't felt like eating meat and you're totally right it's easy make plant based Mexican food (i made black beans and quinoa tostada today) and I can tell you it's because the origins of Mexican food it's so rich in plants base. A little of history Europeans taught prehispanic to have animals to eat them.
Perfect! Dr. Marbas, I went on your channel to see if there was a video I could show my class as we're winding up our 12 weeks of learning plant-based nutrition and this video is just perfect! A nice summary for what they've been learning and now ready to get it going! Thanks much for all you do!
You’re welcome
I’m really grateful you made this video thank you as we’ve just tried a week of vegan plant based eating. We’re both in our 70’s and want to live healthier after having breast cancer and my husband in heart failure and on 13 tablets every morning. I’m struggling though as seem to be contradicting advice from doctors on extra virgin olive oils about helping to clean arteries. My own granddaughter is a doctor and family seem to not be excited like us to try switching to this healthier lifestyle. Will continue with your videos for inspiration.
I would start by prepping all my groceries, chopping them and storing them in containers in the fridge. This is a life-saver when I'm busy and don't want to do a lot of meal prep during the week. Reach in the fridge, pick your containers, steam them or stir-fry, or even eat them raw. Just be sure to make them really colorful and add those herbs and spices! This way of eating is not a deprivation diet--you learn how to make all kinds of wonderful dishes and since it's veg, fruits, grains, nuts and seeds, you really CAN eat as much as you want. I've never been hungry on WFPB. I lost 35 lbs and actually enjoyed it, unlike every other diet I have been on in my life.
Congratulations!
Day 4 for me. I was a junk food vegan for two years during my 20's but gave it up during a stressful period of my life. I'm finally ready to recommit. 4 days in and ready to go
Checking in! How’s the journey going?😊
How is it going?
I’m gonna slowly roll into this. Thank god for my good friend who is a therapist had made a friendly suggestion do to some of my issues that this might be right for me. Any change is good change and I’m excited to follow and learn as I go
I’m on thyroid and migraine meds ! Plus i just had A/ fib 2 weeks ago. Thank y so much showing us and explaining how to start this new life stile of plant based
A great video! My wife and I are moving towards this getting educated about how to begin this journey. Thank you!
I'm a few months new to WFPB and feel awesome. I'm so gladvto have found your channel as I have much to learn especially about cooking delicious meals.
Very helpful! Thank you for explaining the process so well!
Thank you so much for all of your information. I wasn't sure how to start, but now I understand to just take it one meal time at a time. Excellent!
Great help--have been evolving to WFPB over the past few months and am now oil & sugar free, still working on weaning off added salt.
You got this!
Thanks for this! I am going to share it with as many people that I can. So incredibly helpful!
Thank you
Avocado is a great replacement for egg in salad and sandwiches. Salt ..or black salt ...and pepper. Gorgeous with pickled beetroot !
YEs!
There is nothing wrong with consuming some olive oil even with a plant based diet. I am not talking about saturating food in olive oil but use common sense. The body needs some oil to avoid gallbladder disease, pancreatic problems, dry skin, hair and nails. The gallbladder and pancreas has enzymes specifically designed to breakdown fatty substances in the body but when there is zero fat those enzymes could harden and crystalize inside the gallbladder ducts causing gallbladder and/or pancreatic disease. I know because I had to conduct research after my son was hospitalized and almost died from this condition. Getting all 9 essential amino acids is another issue when you give up animal products so having a balance plant-based diet that includes this is vital to your health.
Can you get those same fats from avocado oil?
Great video. I will be 81 and need to get my glucose and insulin numbers down.
Blood sugars respond very well to a plant based diet.
Yes, that's me! Headed into it at full blast. Got rid of everything. Found out that I was hungry and tired. Then had to do mandatory OT and got worse at keeping up with the plant based eating. So I would do 80/20 & 60/40. I really enjoyed your video. I didn't know about some of the things that you were talking about. They were important points. I am so grateful. So if I don't win your gift, where do we find information on the course. Thank you for doing this video! It's very uplifting. Full of knowledge with grace and mercy. Thank you again.❤
@susansammi17 please check out drmarbas.com and the free courses.
Brilliant Video, I'm 55, I was Vegetarian for over 40 years, than dabbled with plantbased on and off, 😊
My problem is crisps 😢 I love them. So after watching this I just need to just do it and ditch them....thankyou.
Get corn tortillas with no oil. Cut then into 1/4s. Mist with water or lime juice & sprinkle salt or whatever seasoning you want. Place them on parchment lined baking sheet & bake or air fry until desired crispiness. Sorry I don't have the ideal time worked out yet cuz I often forget to look when I put them in the oven. I use oven cuz I usually have 2 baking sheets & make a lot at once. 350 for about 15 minutes.
I used to make these with oil (as most recipes call for) & struggled forever at how to make salt stick. Then...the misting with water or lime juice. I do the same for oven 'fries'.
Excellent information,and well explained 🥦🥬🌽🥕🍌🍓🍊🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽God Bless you
Thank you I am curious about plant based dieting... I'm more and more convinced of giving it a try.
I’m all in with this plant based ! I usually two meals.after my fast.my first on is at 11
I have been eating plant based for almost a year now, but I do eat chicken breast once in a while. I also eat protein bars as they keep my blood sugar stable during the night verses fruit, beans etc. I guess I am more in the 85% category plant-based eater. My A1C dropped from 6.8 to 6.1 in 8 months. I have never been that low! It’s good to have found you.
So glad to have you here and congratulations! Keep going green!
This video is a fantastic guide for anyone looking to start a plant-based diet! The step-by-step tips and practical advice you provided make the transition seem so much more manageable. Kudos to you how you emphasized the importance of variety and planning meals to ensure a balanced and nutritious plant-based lifestyle. It's reassuring to know that making the switch doesn't have to be overwhelming. Excited to embark on this journey armed with your insights! Thanks for sharing these valuable tips!
You're so welcome!
Best thing you'll ever do - great video. Thanks.
Dr Laurie you fantastic can't believe you in your 50 with a nearly a qualified daughter thats a dr. I am 5 years now plantbased and just done it now 🐌 time
Wow, thank you! I'm 53 now and daughter is just about to finish her family medicine residency next summer.
I'm so excited about all this information!
What an amazing video! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for this information. It was very helpful.
I'm really excited - and, unsure and nervous - about giving this a try. I've been thinking about doing so for a long time but have continually come up with excuses or sabatoged myself. I have to remember: just because my husband is not on board doesn't mean I can't do this for myself. ❤
I went vegan for the animals and for my health 8 years ago at 58 years old. The absolute BEST thing I ever did. You will never regret it. Keep learning!
I was the only one who was plant base in the house for years. All grew up and left and now my husband is fully on board. We are older and it is the best thing I ever did. Went off and high blood pressure came back and other problems. Going back on it. I feel so much better plant based. I had two adults move in and got tired of cooking two meals. With teenagers in the house, I would make plant based, then add meat as a side. Offered cheese as a side. I recommend cooking meat and freezing. Then defrost and warm in microwave for spouse.
@@leem200 well, my husband has recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol. I think he's going to be much more on board now. 😊
When your husband sees how healthy and happy you are he’ll become curious and start trying your meals. Mine is now eating mostly plant based with exception to his habit food of meat sandwiches, cookie and a glass of coke at lunch.
Ps I’ve just dropped my cholesterol by 22% in 3 weeks of being plant based.
Thank you! Very helpful.
Thanks I'm ready to go plant based diet.
Thanks! Very helpful
I'm a newbie to the plant-based diet. This looks pretty cool! You have been added to my list!
💚🌱🌸
#SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet
This is very informative - thank you!
Finally somebody helpful, not selling things🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your video! Quick question…when talking rice/pasta is regular pasta and rice ok or should I be sticking with brown rice and whole wheat pasta? Thanks!
Thank you sooo much for all of the info
Thanks for watching!
Thank you..I gotta say the thoughts in my mind made me decide to become plant base. I noticed I was throwing A LOT of food away. I WAS feeling sluggish, TIRED, unable to focus, THE HEADACHES were enough to either change my diet or die, I got food poisoning twice at fast food places. I was either bloated, had diarrhea, or constipation.
I wanted a better me in personality. The change is hard because now I have to take time to care enough to prepare my food. It's been about 2 months and my change is beginning. I almost feel a little more spiritual 😇👣🙏💜💜👍I cook for my fur babies their diets are next 🐾🐾🐾🐕🐈⬛🦮
This was very helpful, thank you.
interesting considerations on eating plant-based. Thanks!
Hope to got your 7days. Plant based course, i am so interested on this. Im glad i found your video. Keep it up🥰 god bless
I became vegetarian this year. My cholesterol has reversed and now is in normal range! I do drink skim milk but that’s it with regard to animal products.
I drink skim milk. I tried the plant milks and didn’t like they had so many ingredients.
, it's the casein (milk protein) that causes breast cancer & prostate cancer. Get all dairy out.
So happy to have found you. I've got a thyroid problem and I'm ready to fix it quick. Thanks so much for the information and leads. :)
I’ve been thyroid meds for years too plus migraines meds. I wan to try plant. I just bought organic protein powder for ex protein
I’ve been taking thyroid medicine for years too.
Try a meat based diet💯
, u are Low Iodine
Hey Doctor Marbas so I’m a 59 year old male in great shape love ❤ your videos. I’m typing slowly transitioning to plants base diet but sometimes have a had time finding ways to balance my meal to get my energy up any suggestions. Keep up the great work. Thanks
great information, thank you!
I would also say , eat most things you can grow yourself. don't be lazy, start a garden and you can also grow a lot inside like mushrooms.I would only trust what i grow myself.
Glad you can do that!
We have turned plant based gradually. We finished our products that still had animal additives. I didn’t want to throw them out. That was too much of a waste. So now we are fully plant based. I find that you really have to like cooking and experimenting. If you don’t then even plant based food has tons of processed additives that you might not want. Breakfast can be out yoghurt with homemade granola containing for example oats, pecans, hazelnuts, dried apricots, flax seeds and agave syrup.
Thanks for sharing!
This was helpful. I’m getting ready to learn to eat plant base. Trying to learn what to do. Thx

You got this!
Thank you for sharing this information. I follow wfpb most of the time.
I pray for Gods kingdom when-
Jeremiah 29:5
‘Build houses and live in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Thank you very much 😊
I am interested in how to use a ratio between the different vegetables, seeds, fruit. Then a diet, what is good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack. A planned menu, I can follow for at least a month, then I could be on my own. Best to drink? This is the information I need.
Day 1 of my plant based diet lol. Wish me luck and pray for me!!
You got this!
@@DrLaurieMarbas thank you for the encouragement!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing this video
Thank you for this as I “began” my WFPB lifestyle after watching Forks over Knives back in 2021 and 2.5 years later I relapsed into Vegan junk foods and honestly wasn’t educating myself as seriously as I have been recently…^______
So glad to hear that. I will be hosting a Plant Based Masterclass in February. Stay tuned.
Very helpful Dr. Laurie!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing! Really helpful info!
Glad it was helpful!
Your video was so helpful [THANK YOU!!!}...
Hello, what are your thoughts on Atlas Monroe (wheat protein) "chicken"? Its not chicken but substitute to it. Would this not be considered "whole food"?
I am getting ready to get rid of gremlins in the house. Going to go 100 percent healthy. Needed this to get started to full healthy cooking. I am plant based but some choices are not healthy.
This video was very helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello I am new to this diet and I am hopeful that I will get back to my normal health. Forward with wfpb ❤❤
It takes time for your microbiome to adapt- whole grains in particular can be problematic for somebody who hasn't eaten alot of them before, because they often contain rough, insoluble fiber which can cause bloating and constipation. Fruits and root vegetables are very good to have in the diet to supply calories, because they have a better balance of fiber and carbohydrates.
Thanks! I’m not a fan of lentils or peas!
Hello, I’m new to eating WFPB and I eat canned vegetables, no salt added. Do you think canned foods are ok?
Wow, very helpful information for first timer getting started.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So glad I found you! Ready to start plant based diet.. How do you stir fry without oils?
With water or vegetable broth. Lots of videos on the internet how to cook oil free.
Wow! Where are you located? I would love to work with you, I have gone through so much health battles 5 yrs. I haven't worked for 5 yrs, I want my Health back and would love to work with a doctor like you, not many people believe like this and this is the path I want to take to recover and when I do I want to help others by becoming a medical missionary.
I decided to go plant base 9 days ago...I unknowingly picked up the vegan frozen meat..glad you're here to teach me a better way..Im listening. Pls sent that 7day guide
Wonderful news! my website drmarbas.com has a ton of resources including 5 free courses and how to go plant based in 7 days.
Im happy to hear someone else say what i been telling people, eating healthy is not expensive. I bought bananas for a little over a buck and, I seen a snicker bar for like 2$ and change.
Yep
Thanks
