I've been a healthy vegan for many years, and I eat organic fruits and vegetables with sugar coming from fruit/vegetables and rarely ever eat snacks and no packaged foods (no bread, no pasta, no cereal, no white rice, rarely brown rice, rarely potatoes, mostly "anti-inflammatory" foods, rarely olive oil, rarely juice, rarely honey) . I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I'm sure if I weren't vegan it'd be worse, but it isn't 100% true that a whole plant food diet will keep EVERYONE away from an autoimmune disorder.
If you're eating honey you're not on a vegan diet. Concentrated oil can cause inflammatory reactions. You could have allergies as well.During the podcast the distinction was made between a WFPB diet and a vegan diet. Also, no one is claiming that a vegan diet is a panacea but that there is a lot of supporting evidence that show a WFPB diet can reduce or eliminate autoimmune disorders.
I'm wondering if you were exposed to toxic levels of chemicals - aluminum, mercury, lead, etc. It's the chemicals in processed foods, I believe, that are the real culprets in processed foods.
I eat a 100% unprocessed vegan diet, and this has been a real concern, eating enough. And I settled on a very simple habit. Eating lots of cooked beans. I cook them from dry, in my Instant Pot, every day. I used to be overweight, just a few pants sizes, but I had metabolic trouble. But now, I am very slim. I'm at Walter Kempner's weight chart ideal weight. That is really slim. Male, 6'2" 165 pounds. Long story short, I need beans. I eat 1200 calories of beans every day, and if I didn't, I would have become underweight, and gone back to eating meat a long time ago. I have GOT to have beans. Beans satisfy: appetite, protein, minerals, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids. I add low protein starches like sweet potatoes; some greens, fruit, and other assorted whole plant foods, and I KNOW I have eaten enough to maintain my weight. They are by far my favorite thing to eat. Beans and greens are an unbeatable combo, by the way.
Apart from beans, what else do you eat? How many total calories you are able to get daily to be able to maintain the same weight? I am kind of going through the phase where I have been losing weight, and recently decided to try increasing the potato, green peas and dates intake. Any suggestions apart from beans?
@@ankitdiwan I eat about 3,800 calories a day. Beans are the center of my diet. I do eat all the other starches, of course. right now, I'm eating black lentil tomato soup with brown rice. i have juuuust a whisper (a teaspoon in the whole gallon) of olive oil in it, for extra flavor, along with fresh ground spices and basil. I ate broccoli before, and I'll have sweet potatoes later. that's basically how i eat all the time. (I'm soaking pinto beans right now, 2 pounds, which I will eat as dip, the next few days.) I also like to make Ezekiel bread from grains and legumes I sprout. My lentil soup was a bit light, even though I ate all 4 quarts of it. As soon as I have room for more, I'll have some other legume, or maybe some white potatoes....I might be in the mood for a pinto bean dip, for raw veggies;) [edit, I'm going to have white potato wedges, lightly air fried. Second to beans, I gotta have my potatoes!] We're having a heat wAve right now, and in the heat, i tend to eat chilled bean dip (homemade of course) dipped deeply into with ice cold raw veggies. I'm probably going to eat literally nothing but cold bean dips, veggies, chilled potato salads with sweet (i use dates for that) mustard dressing, and fresh fruits, this whole month. I might add that homemade Ezekiel bread to it, too. I am eating hot soup right now, and I'm really not feeling it. I might give up the hot soups until October... Tomorrow I'm going to eat a watermelon, too;) And the watermelon rind, I peel and blend it into a cold drink with strawberries;) I eat around 3,800 calories per day, just tp maintain my weight. But since I'm eating almost 100% unprocessed stuff, I think I absorb less of it. If I was eating pastas, and breads made from flour (my homemade bread is ground directly from whole wet grains and is only partially turned into dough, ) I'd need less calories. I'm not big into fatty foods. Though I do have walnuts every couple of months, a 2 pound bag that I just snack on over a day or two. That makes me gain some bodyfat, but it doesn't do a thing for my muscle mass; for that I need the beans. I strongly suspect beans increase my muscle mass, and also increase my physical stamina. To prevent weight loss, I would eat any starch over going back to animal foods. Intact is better. But I would eat any starch, as long as it's "whole" food. Whole wheat bread, even storebought, I would eat it, if there was nothing else. Whole grain pastas, rolled oats, even something like white rice or white pasta if it's going together with beans and veggies;) Now as far as dried fruit....I typically don't eat it by itself, as it just doesn't make me feel good. It dehydrates me, and I usually don't eat it.
@@ankitdiwan Today (the day after my latest comment) I ate those pinto beans with brown rice, with a 500g heap of steamed broccoli. I ate 2400 calories of brown rice, 1200 calories of beans, and 170 calories of broccoli. That's pretty much all I had. Though, I'm having an extra helping of the brown rice, with a few ounces of West Soy Soymilk in it....absolutely delicious combo. I might open a can of pumpkin, and take a few spoonsful of it, just for nutritional reasons - it won't taste good, but it's easy to swallow, and usually what I reach for to boost my carotenoid intake, especially during hot weather, where I try to cook as little as possible;) Sometimes I reach for a small can of tomato paste and just eat it with a spoon. Canned pumpkin and tomato paste are great to have on hand, for a quick boost of carotenoids at the end of the day;)
@@ankitdiwan If you have an instant pot try whole grains. Barley, spelt, rye, kamut, etc. I cook 6 different ones together and then add them to almost everything. So healthy and helps to fill the belly. Or morning oats. I eat tons and some days it is amazing how many different things you can add if you are using the instant pot.
I'm 5'2" 98 pounds. Not super thin, but slightly underweight. I was also overweight and started to change my diet to eat healthier more four years ago. I just restarted plant based when I realized that Keto was impossible for me. I love fruit and I couldn't eat less tha 125 grams carbohydrate a day. Now, I'm eating around four hundred grams of carbohydrates. I haven't got to totally plant based. I'm reading Mastering Diabetes and it says to make the transitions slowly so I probably won't be fully plant based for a couple more months if I decide to go that way. Until then, I'm going eat to continue to eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
Hahaha....asthma. Ahhhhh yes. I lived the first half of my life in the hospital with asthma. Now, all I need is an occasional puff of albuterol, and I'm perfectly fine. I used be dying of asthma, and now, I have a very mild case of it. My albuterol intake went from 8 doses per day, to half a dose per day. I still have a "touch" of asthma, but it's SO much better - I'LL TAKE IT!

I hope this message is seen, responded to and acted upon as soon as possible. I live in Topeka, KS and just a moment ago, on the evening news with Lester Holt, they featured a piece on how to reverse Type 2 diabetes:by eating eggs/meat, sighting sugar and carbs as the cause. I hope all you plant based doctors counter this by contacting and offering to go on the news to strike this garbage down. I don't understand why we aren't seeing any of you on these programs or why these news platforms aren't reaching out to you. Please consider countering and correcting this. I thank you for all you do.
All "news" is pure industry propaganda. Ignore all of it. Conservative v. Democrat - left v. right - is a false dichotomy, used by the advertisers, to keep us glued to their sales boxes, also known as "television."
I’ve noticed that whenever I see these programs touting meat, or some sort of pill or anything that has to do with counter to what we do in the plant-based world. There’s usually a commercial or something selling when they cut to the commercial. It’s a subliminal way of selling you this is what you should be doing For them, not what you should really be doing.💪🏻
I also have trouble getting enough calories. I know why. I walk a lot and I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. I don't add oils to my diet. I'm trying to keep my fat calories very low since I'm prediabetic and learniing Mastering Diabetes method.

Wow, such bad-mouthing pasta. I can't listen anymore without commenting. Folks need to learn how to read labels. Without getting into detail on that - if you select the pastas made from beans and legumes there is a ton of fiber in them. They are super healthy- and, believe it or not, are low glycemic too. Here's how: take the carb number and divide the grams of fiber into it. You're looking for a product of 5 or less. Many legume pastas are around 3. Yes, the whole wheat, brown rice, and of course "enriched" flour kinds of pasta are all too processed, unfortunately.
I wish I could have seen this live poscast. I've been an insomniac since in my mid 20s. I'm 42 now. I wonder if plant based eating could somehow help me get off of sleeping pills and fall asleep naturally 😮💨
I have to disagree with the very first comment. " if your not loosing weight, your eating enough". That makes no sense. People on plant based diets tend to loose weight.
Iam confused, so if u want to get better blood flow and energy, they say cut off all fats right? And then there are others who say u need seeds, avocados and this and that, its soo confusing
Everything in context. When I eat pasta it is generally in a sauce with a huge amount of veggies and herbs and then for the other half of the plate is some sort or salad or veggie. And then I might throw on some cooked grains into the mix of my plate. With avocado it seems to be just on toast. So my preference is pasta all the way. Don't eat it on a regular basis and so I never sweat the small stuff.
Love the analogy for the asthma question, of the rooms, inflammation and angry people! Thank you - going to use that one on a few people I know who are in denial about how a wfpb diet can reverse asthma. Great interview!
I just placed an order. For delivery. 50 pounds of brown rice, 75 pounds of beans. That's the way I like to shop. About $100 for ALL that. What beans do I want? The cheap ones. I get the big 8 pound bags of pinto beans for 6 bucks. Organic or not? I don't care. The fiber is gonna carry out any pesticide/herbicide residues that are in there. I suspect the same goes for the rice. The arsenic residue isn't gonna cause cancer, if the rest of the diet is correct, as tangentially evidenced by T Colin Campbell's travails in Asia.
@@JW4REnvironment Perfect! Just make sure you're always checking it for rocks. If you eat enough whole grains, EVENTUALLY you're gonna break a tooth if you don't check them always.
I’m facing a lot if weight loss All my tests are ok but have a family history of heart disease so I’m mindful of oil n fat Have been vegetarian last four years and vegan since a year I love being whole food plant based but no able to convince my family They are insisting I addghee egg whites and youghurt to my diet but I refuse Please let me know the safe fat to consume as eating nuts a lot may not be the answer
I can't lose weight on this way of eating. I eat breakfast...Oats, oat milk, fruit. Don't eat for 8 hours.. may have a snack in late afternoon like carrots.. then I had dinner which is usually a potato and veggies or beans with veggies.. I was 110 when I started this and I'm 122 now. I'm very short and should weigh 97lb..I feel like I'm more hungry eating this way then when I ate meat.. when I ate meat I only ate once a day.. sigh..I hope I'll lose the weight I've gained ..
But there’s studies that show high carb low protein can lear to higher body fat peefcejtsge less muscle and same calories of higher protein led to muscle gain and fat loss leading to body recomp
My problem is I love eating and even though I eat whole food plant based diet 100% of the time for the last 8 years, if I don't hold myself back I easily eat more than 4000 calories a day.
I have the same problem...and my weakness? OATS. I love them but they're so calorie dense. but I also think that I'm not the problem. the problem I think is that the oats are rolled which still means they're refined that's why they're so delicious. immediately as it enters your mouth you already taste the delicious starchiness without hardly chewing. if it was oat groats I think I'd eat less calories. use a calorie density chart and eat more of the less dense stuff and less of the more dense stuff.
I have found my people!!! The food is so delicious... new favorite cook book is plantyou. The serving sizes though.. 😂 for reals, she says serves 4.. nope.
@@janechapman4167welcome to the family I'm going to check book out! Everyone always complains that they don't know how to cook for me I'm going to refer them to all these awesome plant based books.
Context context. Are you healthy or unhealthy? Is your daily diet 100 per cent plant based? Do you glug it or use a tablespoon here and there? Is it processed? How healthy is anything processed? You must like them because you are asking. Are you just looking for good news from some of your poorer choices? I think you already know in your heart. And of course different doctors are going to say different things. Some are trying to save those with no other hope.
@@jedmaple no I know the answer, I have no bad choices that you very little for you snide comments. The question was to get people to actually do their own investigation and come to the truth. I'm 10 plus years from deaths door, but I see you have a wealth of knowledge maybe you have had 10 stents one bypass and your body rejected stents. If it wasn't for Dr Esselstyn I would be spread over rugby fields across this country.
@@davidwenger9821 No one actually has enough data on that question to "know" one way or the other. But I _strongly suspect_ that Ess is correct;) And speaking of snideness, baiting the comment section with "questions" that you already "know" the answer to, is the very epitome of snide behavior. I suggest you talk with a psychologist, to understand why you felt the need to do that, and then project your exact behavioral qualities upon the very first person to engage your comment.
Yes, all oils are bad up until a few thousand years ago we did not have oils. Man existed for many many years, millions without oil. It wasn’t originally even for eating it was made to clean the body. Some people started using it as a somewhat flavor enhancer when there was no meat available, look and see what it does to your blood after consuming it, then maybe you won’t want it anymore.💪🏻
Carnivore community say we are designed to eat meat. Maybe its more your belief system than a digestive tract issue. Our digestive tracts can't be designed to eat all meat or all plant, which one?? Saturated fats cause health issues or its healthy, can't be both.
@@peter5.056 thanks for that. I try to understand the science behind diet. I hear people's success on many different diets. Being plant minded I get that. When doctors from both spectrums speak the same truths for their diet version, then I get mind boggled.
Hi Marie I’m facing the same issue have never been a large person had been 49kgd all my life but afterturn7 g vegan I have come to 41 My blood works are ok but my doctor n family are very concerned Hope we find answers Best wishes
Eat more often and add more dense calories into what you eat. If you have an issue of eating, make a smoothie, make something sweet tasting that has almond butters peanut or even some protein powders are all right but in general higher density higher calorie foods if they’re in a liquid it’s easy to take.💪🏻
@@nick55ification i dropped the vegan junk food after my tests resulted in high triglycerides. Despite how low my cholesterol levels are, triglycerides carry a heart attack risk too.
@@greendsnow yes they do. Great choice! Often times pleasure is at odds with wellbeing. For me it is totally worth it especially where I came from. obese at one point and cholesterol at 200 to now more and more fit and healthy. But guess what...when I was obese I bothered myself about my physique. And now!...people bother me about my physique? Tf? Good thing that I know what's right for me and what I want :D
@@nick55ification I'm glad to hear that, you must be proud of yourself. It can a constant challenge to choose what's right to eat. For the last 2 months, I start the day with some beans, I add no extra oils to anything. No nuts, no avocados, no breads, no pasta. I've lost around 10 pounds. I'm still plant based but you know... it's in the details. If I want to indulge myself in food , I prepare myself a big bowl of cucumber salad with chia seeds sprinkled on it🙈 or hahah eat 1/2 a watermelon mukbang style knowing that it's less than 700 calories. (which makes 1/2 a large Big Mac meal in calories, and keeps me so full instead) I still watch it to keep it around 2000 cals.
@@greendsnow you have great taste! How, what and when I eat depends all on my goals. I'm losing fat, building muscle and studying. So when wake up to break my fast with oats and fruit and also a couple spoons of nuts/seeds bc sugar/starch with fat is very pleasurable. Due to the carb depletion overnight I want carbs and sugar (aka something sweet). Also, I use those carbs 4 hours later to strength train. The nuts and seeds just pair nicely with sweets imo. Lastly it gets me excited to wake up early/ontime. Haha. After the workout I eat vegetables like bok choy/kale for the calcium and any other vegetable like the cruciferous ones most importantly. Then, beans/legumes/pulses for protein. I repeat the same lunch for dinner only bc I'm a masters student living alone in a foreign country trying to limit decisions. But I do like to alternate my grains and legumes by the week sometimes. There're so many options.
You would have to eat 50 pounds of kale to hit 10,000 cal. What’s your point? Five donuts would be your whole calories for one day though.if you had one donut every day now you have 500 cal per day times seven days a week 1 pound gain. Using sugar, fat and salt. Yes salt there’s salt in Krispy Kreme donuts. Better to addict you says the wolf.💪🏻
Like everything else everything is a bell shaped curve. There are people who eat too much on a plant-based diet, and there are people who can’t. The majority people have no problems. The people on the ends of the curve do.💪🏻
Remember everyone it is not a choice between WFPB or SAD. There are other options, I think if I ate the way he recommends my colon would explode, I can't eat fiber myself. Paleo with regenerative farmed meat has done wonders for my husband and me. Cholesterol and A1C are now in normal range and weight loss has just happened without trying at all, while eating an outrageous number of calories.
You are hurting yourself, and I want to send you a copy of Fiber Fueled, so you can understand where you went wrong, how you can fix it and why you should.
@@peter5.056 Who are you to tell me I am hurting myself? You magickly know everything I have tried or the nightmare I lived for 3 years going from doctor to doctor and none of them had an answer? Fiber sits in my colon and dose NOT move, talk about rotting food in your gut, try getting that sick. I think eating a high fiber vegetarian diet was hurting myself. Vegans wonder why others think they are arrogant. You all presume to know what everyone can and should eat because that is the way you do, so it is the best way. Not everyone on this planet is the same, we are all individuals and require an individual diet, example peanuts! My comment was about reminding people they do have a choice. A lot of these WFPB doctors are SELLING you a line, they have zero proof and are not interested in finding proof about most of the claims they make. NEVER EVER be so arrogant to presume to know what someone else should eat until you have lived in that body!!!
Excuse me for playing The devil's advocate but the animal herbivores get their strength and the muscle tissue and other parts of their anatomy from eating plants which are not digestible by humans - like grass and various leaves from various trees. We humans are limited to a very small number of different kinds of plants that we and the animals of course, can eat.
If you don’t think that humans are herbivores look at your teeth. Do you have teeth like a cat? Do you have large canines coming down to tear pieces of meat in half. Do you have a stomach acid to only eat 2 to times a week After eating large chunks of meat ? You have chewing and grinding teeth. Because of the natural things we used to get in foods are not available anymore because of sanitary issues with our food , supplementation can be used. Other than that there are no problems getting enough nutrients in your daily diet. I’m 72 a bodybuilder I have no issues at all. I eat more beans, some tofu and higher protein grains, but not much ,only 20% more than the advised requirement.💪🏻
It's simply false to suggest that people burn fat first then muscle. That's not how weight loss works. Please consult with actual research into this issue instead of making stuff up.
I've been a healthy vegan for many years, and I eat organic fruits and vegetables with sugar coming from fruit/vegetables and rarely ever eat snacks and no packaged foods (no bread, no pasta, no cereal, no white rice, rarely brown rice, rarely potatoes, mostly "anti-inflammatory" foods, rarely olive oil, rarely juice, rarely honey) . I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I'm sure if I weren't vegan it'd be worse, but it isn't 100% true that a whole plant food diet will keep EVERYONE away from an autoimmune disorder.

I wish I could have seen this live poscast. I've been an insomniac since in my mid 20s. I'm 42 now. I wonder if plant based eating could somehow help me get off of sleeping pills and fall asleep naturally 😮💨
Cut out the middle moo
I have to disagree with the very first comment. " if your not loosing weight, your eating enough". That makes no sense. People on plant based diets tend to loose weight.
💕👍
Iam confused, so if u want to get better blood flow and energy, they say cut off all fats right? And then there are others who say u need seeds, avocados and this and that, its soo confusing
Glad to see Dr. Loomis again!
Everything in context. When I eat pasta it is generally in a sauce with a huge amount of veggies and herbs and then for the other half of the plate is some sort or salad or veggie. And then I might throw on some cooked grains into the mix of my plate. With avocado it seems to be just on toast. So my preference is pasta all the way. Don't eat it on a regular basis and so I never sweat the small stuff.
I just started this life style. So happy
Love the analogy for the asthma question, of the rooms, inflammation and angry people! Thank you - going to use that one on a few people I know who are in denial about how a wfpb diet can reverse asthma. Great interview!
Love Dr. Loomis. Missed seeing him on the Exam room
I just placed an order. For delivery. 50 pounds of brown rice, 75 pounds of beans. That's the way I like to shop. About $100 for ALL that. What beans do I want? The cheap ones. I get the big 8 pound bags of pinto beans for 6 bucks. Organic or not? I don't care. The fiber is gonna carry out any pesticide/herbicide residues that are in there. I suspect the same goes for the rice. The arsenic residue isn't gonna cause cancer, if the rest of the diet is correct, as tangentially evidenced by T Colin Campbell's travails in Asia.
Makes sense! Efficient and healthful. I like barley/farro from Trader Joe’s too. One bag is under 2 bucks….
@@JW4REnvironment Perfect! Just make sure you're always checking it for rocks. If you eat enough whole grains, EVENTUALLY you're gonna break a tooth if you don't check them always.
I’m facing a lot if weight loss All my tests are ok but have a family history of heart disease so I’m mindful of oil n fat Have been vegetarian last four years and vegan since a year I love being whole food plant based but no able to convince my family They are insisting I addghee egg whites and youghurt to my diet but I refuse Please let me know the safe fat to consume as eating nuts a lot may not be the answer
are you underweight?
22:55 Yes. I use grape juice to flavour my water. 1 part grape juice and 9 parts water. Delicious drink....
I can't lose weight on this way of eating. I eat breakfast...Oats, oat milk, fruit. Don't eat for 8 hours.. may have a snack in late afternoon like carrots.. then I had dinner which is usually a potato and veggies or beans with veggies.. I was 110 when I started this and I'm 122 now. I'm very short and should weigh 97lb..I feel like I'm more hungry eating this way then when I ate meat.. when I ate meat I only ate once a day.. sigh..I hope I'll lose the weight I've gained ..
Thanks
But there’s studies that show high carb low protein can lear to higher body fat peefcejtsge less muscle and same calories of higher protein led to muscle gain and fat loss leading to body recomp
Best episode I’ve watched on PC and I’ve watched plenty. Like Loomis
Green tea and Mozart. 😂 So funny. Fabulous description of WFPB vs vegan. I learn so much from Dr. Loomis! Thank you!
I eat plants exclusively but even still I have a tendency to eat more than I need. If you've always been a big eater then it's best to be one as WFPB.
The question is if you need the cooler density if you're a larger stature weight lifter or athlete That is a option for using nuts and avocados
Can you recommend someone who could give me the same services here in Canada as your doctors, nurse practitioners and dietitians do in the States?
Great doctor!
Great questions
Great answers
Hi Chuch 👋 and thank 😊 you for sharing x
They didn't take meat out. They took flesh out.
This was a awesome interview 👏
Very informative...thank you for all you do
Great info and thank you!
My problem is I love eating and even though I eat whole food plant based diet 100% of the time for the last 8 years, if I don't hold myself back I easily eat more than 4000 calories a day.
I have the same problem...and my weakness? OATS. I love them but they're so calorie dense. but I also think that I'm not the problem. the problem I think is that the oats are rolled which still means they're refined that's why they're so delicious. immediately as it enters your mouth you already taste the delicious starchiness without hardly chewing. if it was oat groats I think I'd eat less calories.
use a calorie density chart and eat more of the less dense stuff and less of the more dense stuff.
I have found my people!!! The food is so delicious... new favorite cook book is plantyou. The serving sizes though.. 😂 for reals, she says serves 4.. nope.
@@janechapman4167welcome to the family I'm going to check book out! Everyone always complains that they don't know how to cook for me I'm going to refer them to all these awesome plant based books.
Great video love Dr Loomis.
Question are all oils bad? Just curious I see differing opinions from many well respected Plant based Doctors. 👍
Context context. Are you healthy or unhealthy? Is your daily diet 100 per cent plant based? Do you glug it or use a tablespoon here and there? Is it processed? How healthy is anything processed? You must like them because you are asking. Are you just looking for good news from some of your poorer choices? I think you already know in your heart. And of course different doctors are going to say different things. Some are trying to save those with no other hope.
@@jedmaple no I know the answer, I have no bad choices that you very little for you snide comments. The question was to get people to actually do their own investigation and come to the truth.
I'm 10 plus years from deaths door, but I see you have a wealth of knowledge maybe you have had 10 stents one bypass and your body rejected stents. If it wasn't for Dr Esselstyn I would be spread over rugby fields across this country.
@@davidwenger9821 You asked and I answered. Maybe take a chill pill and see if that helps.
@@davidwenger9821 No one actually has enough data on that question to "know" one way or the other. But I _strongly suspect_ that Ess is correct;) And speaking of snideness, baiting the comment section with "questions" that you already "know" the answer to, is the very epitome of snide behavior. I suggest you talk with a psychologist, to understand why you felt the need to do that, and then project your exact behavioral qualities upon the very first person to engage your comment.
Yes, all oils are bad up until a few thousand years ago we did not have oils. Man existed for many many years, millions without oil. It wasn’t originally even for eating it was made to clean the body. Some people started using it as a somewhat flavor enhancer when there was no meat available, look and see what it does to your blood after consuming it, then maybe you won’t want it anymore.💪🏻
Great
Thank you for a great show.
Wow, definitely one of your better guests! Great info.
Carnivore community say we are designed to eat meat. Maybe its more your belief system than a digestive tract issue. Our digestive tracts can't be designed to eat all meat or all plant, which one?? Saturated fats cause health issues or its healthy, can't be both.
Let me simplify it in as few words as possible. Diets heavy on animal foods are unhealthy, diets heavy on plants are healthy.
@@peter5.056 thanks for that. I try to understand the science behind diet. I hear people's success on many different diets. Being plant minded I get that. When doctors from both spectrums speak the same truths for their diet version, then I get mind boggled.
🧡
Dr. I am eating avocado every single day, and I never gain weight, I tried so hard to gain weight because I only weight between 85-86 pls
Hi Marie I’m facing the same issue have never been a large person had been 49kgd all my life but afterturn7 g vegan I have come to 41 My blood works are ok but my doctor n family are very concerned Hope we find answers Best wishes
I gained a few pounds eating avocado, boiled potatoes with peas, also pistachios, walnuts (or pecans) and almonds every day.
@@monaantony9096 , dried fruit helps to gain weight too (mangoes, prunes, apricots, cherries etc.)
But be careful not to eat too much!
Eat more often and add more dense calories into what you eat. If you have an issue of eating, make a smoothie, make something sweet tasting that has almond butters peanut or even some protein powders are all right but in general higher density higher calorie foods if they’re in a liquid it’s easy to take.💪🏻
Enough calories? I'm 6'3 and I eat a lot. I managed to gain weight on plant based diet (bread and pasta included)
go whole food
@@nick55ification i dropped the vegan junk food after my tests resulted in high triglycerides. Despite how low my cholesterol levels are, triglycerides carry a heart attack risk too.
@@greendsnow yes they do. Great choice! Often times pleasure is at odds with wellbeing. For me it is totally worth it especially where I came from. obese at one point and cholesterol at 200 to now more and more fit and healthy. But guess what...when I was obese I bothered myself about my physique. And now!...people bother me about my physique? Tf? Good thing that I know what's right for me and what I want :D
@@nick55ification I'm glad to hear that, you must be proud of yourself. It can a constant challenge to choose what's right to eat.
For the last 2 months, I start the day with some beans, I add no extra oils to anything. No nuts, no avocados, no breads, no pasta.
I've lost around 10 pounds. I'm still plant based but you know... it's in the details.
If I want to indulge myself in food , I prepare myself a big bowl of cucumber salad with chia seeds sprinkled on it🙈
or hahah eat 1/2 a watermelon mukbang style knowing that it's less than 700 calories.
(which makes 1/2 a large Big Mac meal in calories, and keeps me so full instead)
I still watch it to keep it around 2000 cals.
@@greendsnow you have great taste!
How, what and when I eat depends all on my goals. I'm losing fat, building muscle and studying.
So when wake up to break my fast with oats and fruit and also a couple spoons of nuts/seeds bc sugar/starch with fat is very pleasurable. Due to the carb depletion overnight I want carbs and sugar (aka something sweet). Also, I use those carbs 4 hours later to strength train. The nuts and seeds just pair nicely with sweets imo. Lastly it gets me excited to wake up early/ontime. Haha.
After the workout I eat vegetables like bok choy/kale for the calcium and any other vegetable like the cruciferous ones most importantly. Then, beans/legumes/pulses for protein.
I repeat the same lunch for dinner only bc I'm a masters student living alone in a foreign country trying to limit decisions.
But I do like to alternate my grains and legumes by the week sometimes. There're so many options.
His advice does not apply totally to type one diabetics. One use glycemic index and load when followers any diet.
Crispy Kreme chocolate chips ahoy doughnut is 400 cal. So you would only need to eat 25 of them to reach 10k calories. SMH
You would have to eat 50 pounds of kale to hit 10,000 cal. What’s your point? Five donuts would be your whole calories for one day though.if you had one donut every day now you have 500 cal per day times seven days a week 1 pound gain. Using sugar, fat and salt. Yes salt there’s salt in Krispy Kreme donuts. Better to addict you says the wolf.💪🏻
Surely they jest. I have no trouble getting enough calories eating plants.
Like everything else everything is a bell shaped curve. There are people who eat too much on a plant-based diet, and there are people who can’t. The majority people have no problems. The people on the ends of the curve do.💪🏻
Remember everyone it is not a choice between WFPB or SAD. There are other options, I think if I ate the way he recommends my colon would explode, I can't eat fiber myself. Paleo with regenerative farmed meat has done wonders for my husband and me. Cholesterol and A1C are now in normal range and weight loss has just happened without trying at all, while eating an outrageous number of calories.
You are hurting yourself, and I want to send you a copy of Fiber Fueled, so you can understand where you went wrong, how you can fix it and why you should.
@@peter5.056 Who are you to tell me I am hurting myself? You magickly know everything I have tried or the nightmare I lived for 3 years going from doctor to doctor and none of them had an answer? Fiber sits in my colon and dose NOT move, talk about rotting food in your gut, try getting that sick. I think eating a high fiber vegetarian diet was hurting myself. Vegans wonder why others think they are arrogant. You all presume to know what everyone can and should eat because that is the way you do, so it is the best way. Not everyone on this planet is the same, we are all individuals and require an individual diet, example peanuts! My comment was about reminding people they do have a choice.
A lot of these WFPB doctors are SELLING you a line, they have zero proof and are not interested in finding proof about most of the claims they make.
NEVER EVER be so arrogant to presume to know what someone else should eat until you have lived in that body!!!
@@chefbus2537 honey. i never said any of that. I just recommended a book, calm tf down, lol.
@@chefbus2537 go to the library and read Fiber Fueled. you don't know what you're missing.
Excuse me for playing The devil's advocate but the animal herbivores get their strength and the muscle tissue and other parts of their anatomy from eating plants which are not digestible by humans - like grass and various leaves from various trees.
We humans are limited to a very small number of different kinds of plants that we and the animals of course, can eat.
If you don’t think that humans are herbivores look at your teeth. Do you have teeth like a cat? Do you have large canines coming down to tear pieces of meat in half. Do you have a stomach acid to only eat 2 to times a week After eating large chunks of meat ? You have chewing and grinding teeth. Because of the natural things we used to get in foods are not available anymore because of sanitary issues with our food , supplementation can be used. Other than that there are no problems getting enough nutrients in your daily diet. I’m 72 a bodybuilder I have no issues at all. I eat more beans, some tofu and higher protein grains, but not much ,only 20% more than the advised requirement.💪🏻
It's simply false to suggest that people burn fat first then muscle. That's not how weight loss works. Please consult with actual research into this issue instead of making stuff up.
