Produced by the team that brought you the hit documentary PlantPure Nation, the award-winning film, From Food to Freedom, tells the story of a live-in immersion program in a rented house in Greensboro, NC with six participants (and two spouses) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The 10-day program includes biometric testing, physician supervision, and daily meals. As we go through the immersion, we hear from participants of their past struggles living with such a dreaded disease, and we hear of their hope for a better life. We watch firsthand as they suddenly change their diet from a standard American diet to a whole food plant-based diet, and we see how this leads to unexpected and astounding results.
This story creates the opportunity for powerful digressions into the topics of nutrition, chronic disease, and immunity. Also examined is the role of government and the media in suppressing one of the important truths of our time.
After catching up with immersion participants six months later, and seeing some of the challenges they face back in the real world, the film ends on an inspiring note, opening our eyes to the possibility of transformational change in society and charting a hopeful pathway for people wanting to live free of disease and costly pharmaceuticals.

I have tried and failed to live whole food plant based.
I gave up meat and fish but failed on. dairy and eggs and junk food.
Rewatching forks over knives, and now this documentary has inspired me once more.
There is a family history of cancer diabetes heart attacks, etc .
I am 50 this year and determined to change my life course. 🎉
Please don't consider yourself a failure but, rather, "a work in progress." It takes a while to transition to a WFPB lifestyle, so be sure to cut yourself some slack! The important thing is you have identified your "why." Keep that in your mind on a daily basis and you will definitely succeed.
Thirty two years ago, at age 35, I decided to go pescaterian as a means to avoid the chronic diseases which seemed rampant in my family. I am one of six children in my family and I am the only one who seems to have escaped diabetes. I like to think my diet has been my salvation.
Three years ago, I decided to "up my game" and eliminated fish, eggs, dairy and processed foods largely because my husband had been diagnosed with prostate cancer but also because I'd been educating myself on the benefits of a WFPB lifestyle. Thankfully, my husband is doing well. I also decided to stop cooking with oil or consuming products which contain oil (much easier than you would think AND you can really taste what you are eating!). The results have been nothing short of miraculous. I finally "released" the excess 10 pounds of fat around my midsection which so many believe is an inevitable consequence of menopause. NOT TRUE! I now have a ridiculous amount of energy and I take NO medications at age 67. One more added benefit is FREEDOM from obsessing about food. As long as I eat WFPB, I can eat as much as I want, as often as I want, without the fear of weight gain and feeling crappy.
Please put your health as your # 1 priority and you will be shocked at how good you were meant to feel!
Alot of plants and fruits I can't eat... such as the spinache and peppers they spray to death. Allar
on apples, etc.
Why don't they mention vit. D3, k2, etc. Too ? This and bugs No thanks.
I want to encourage you. If you have a fall😮 don’t beat yourself up, just start over again and remembering that success is just around the corner. Smiling at you! 🙏🌻😊
God wfpb!❤❤❤
Sabrina I’m going to be 50 too, in March! I was vegan and/or vegetarian for a few years but got off track in 2022 when I went to visit family. Since then it’s been an uphill battle. But today I started juicing and will do that this week and then do raw foods and juices before going back to a healthy WFPB diet. I miss being healthy and looking my best. I don’t feel sick but I know I have definitely gained weight and that my insides are probably suffering. This video must be a sign that I need to change for good this time. Good luck to us both on our wellness journey 🥰
My brother died from Covid pneumonia a month ago. He was diabetic, which lead to renal failure and dialysis. I went vegan WFPB about 8 years ago. I am so sad and angry that I couldn't convince him to follow my lead, and I am angry with myself for not pushing the issue more with him. He was only 72yo, and is another victim of our society which is essentially a death cult driven by greed of the drug and food companies.
I can’t convince my family either. They say it’s their choice. I went vegan for the animals and so did my daughter. Our health just got better.💚🌱 My brothers and sisters all got the 💉 and got Covid…my daughter and I did not…🤔🤔🤔
I'm sorry for your loss
It's ok to be mad. You loved him. You know (the) truth and you wan't to share it so people can grow.
It's difficult. I'm vegan but I still have a donut addiction, so I have to think of that when confronting others with their addiction. Also I feel the pain when I try to help my wife, my family, and her family. But most of them respond like Imso.e kind of tyrant. I intend to keep pushing though. We had kids late and I want us to be around when they're married and with children.
We don't always recognize God's blessings, but he is prepping us for something greater.
@@jimcoco6379... addictions grow when we take that first bite. Can you go one hour without that donut? One day, week, etc. Can you put it on your abstinence list and see it as a pile of doo? Its how I start sometimes, but now, I just see things in terms of whole vegi foods, and occasionally a piece of fruit. All the best to you.
It’s not your fault. Not really his either x
“I don’t have time to get sick because I’m taking care of everybody else”. Ms. Joyce moved me to tears
I cried with her.
I am a 48 y.o. hungarian woman/wife/mother. I was diagnosed with RA at the age 23, got knee replacement at age 30. Diagnosed with psoriasis 10 years ago.
Me and my husband have 3 adopted kids. We moved to Germany 5 years ago, 1200 km from my family. I have nobody here, no siblings, no friends.
My son is 16 y.o. He is autistic and has ADHD. He is like a 6-8 y.o. in a 16 y.o. body.
I am always tired but my family needs me, I put everybody’s needs before mine.
My grandma was diabetic and died kidney failer at age 58.
My dad is diabetic he is 75 y.o. not on insulin yet.
I am prediabetic (not overweight, not taking anything for my sugar levels, but taking prednisolone since 1999)
I am 80% vegan but not wfpb yet

Choose plants. Choose life.
How many people are dying from diabetes, heart disease and cancer. ALL are caused my sugar, not meat and fish.
@@toni4729Give a scientific reference to support your claim that only refined sugar is a cause of those conditions. Two first ones of which have been shown to be reversable with WFPBD.
Grown in chemicals. Enjoy.
@@toni4729 Chemicals are consentrated in a food chain. So vegans are least affected. Organic plants are the best choice to enjoy.
@@soilikasanen I really don't agree with you. All plant matter contain chemicals. Remember, all drugs are made from vegetable matter. Vegetables contain their own defences because they don't want to be eaten. Then of course, there are the unbelievable chemicals that vegetables are grown in. Manufactured weedkillers, pesticides, herbicides and others that are sprayed by the ton, right up to the day they're picked. Enjoy.
It's so disappointing when someone's partner refuses to embrace their desire for a healthier life.
It can be, but the journey is primarily yours, so you can't put it off on them. She knows what her body needs.
They didn’t want to do it and blaming spouse.
True, but we eat and live for ourselves. It's frustrating when loved ones aren't on board, but we shouldn't let that deter us. Health is a personal journey.
The young man with the glasses is INCREDIBLY intelligent and well spoken!!! He has many years ahead of him to help spread the word to countless others!
I am so excited that this movie has been produced. I have been on a plant based diet since 1980, I am now 79 and take no medications. My Dad challenged me to go on a plant based diet to avoid getting a stroke and many other things that he was experiencing I'm so glad I did it has really paid off. I am a Hallelujah Acres Health Minister am teaching this way of life to many. I as so convinced that this way of life is life giving, I am not perfect but have gotten so I don't put myself down for eating some junk plant food and it is happening a lot less. Genesis 1:29 is our creator's perscription for good health.
Amen! I'm also a Christian and WFPB Nutrition health coach, future physician, etc. It's great to see other Christians realize the power of this way of eating- which is not surprising given that the "Daniel diet/fast" in the Bible is WFPB, and God gave us plants to heal us! Let's keep doing our best to help others with their health, and most importantly lead them to Christ! God bless :)
Nice to see someone who knows about the Hallelujah Diet; I'm a Health Minister, too, although not an active one. It had a big impact on my life for many years. I've tweaked my diet a bit over the years but am very thankful for all I learned from them. Blessings!
Dr Campbell is 90, and sharp as knife. If that's not proof enough..
You have to be totally committed to make it work. I have been vegan for 6 years. The real way to become fully plant based to a visceral level, is to watch an animal rights documentary, and there are many out there. I watched 'Earthlings' and that was a 'no turning back' moment. Industrial Animal agriculture aka Factory Farming has so much to answer for. Environmental damage, health damage and total disrespect of animal rights. To all considering going plant based, be brave, take control. Many thanks, Dr Campbell.
Just saw a short clip on twitter yesterday from PetaUk how animals were skinned alive for their fur to make cashmere and other crap that we don't need.
I am sick to my stomach. I still eat fish and eggs here and there, but i think I am finally done eating animal flesh.
I totally agree.
@@oanairani41Seaspiracy and 5 min video One Thousand Eyes (Australian animal agriculture) might do the trick for you.
That is the documentary that changed my life!!! I went vegan overnight and have never looked back.
@oanairani41 this is great! Try watching how eggs are produced, the hens suffering and the killing of male chicks. Try watching Seaspiracy. Once you know, you know ❤
I LOVE being plant based - Fruits and vegetables are literally magic, beautiful and TASTE GREAT. Thank you for an amazing informed docy. Taking responsibility for your own health is truly empowering 💚✌🌿
Plants saved my life and I lost 175lbs. Thank you Dr. Campbell I love and admire you greatly. Plants heal! ❤️
If you think about the animals that are exploited and slaughtered for your meals that is a very good motivation going forward. It does require breaking through the disconnect that you have between the animal and what you are purchasing and eating.
Right on👍
Yes, agree 100%!
once you see it, you cannot ever unsee it. ❤
The best doctor is yourself
AND FAR MORE NOT !!!!!!!
From FREEDOM TO FOOD is wonderful film. Dr T . Colin Campbell will save hundreds of thousands Americans live Better Lives ❤❤❤
You are what you eat, food is your best medicine!
Dr. Campbell changed my life, after reading The China Study, over a decade ago! I went to the Graff Academy to be a Plant based Chef in Georgia, to learn a new way of making my food delicious.
I have shared Dr. Campbell’s book and many of his videos. I hope many more people get to see this video, to help them in their life’s journey of health!!
THANK YOU FOR NEVER GIVING UP!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I first came across your documentary in December last year, i am so grateful for your work. I
made a decision to eat whole plant based diet and i have lost 5 kilograms in the last two months, i feel and look great, i thank God for you all, especially Dr. Campbell for his resilience. So glad his children are carrying on the good work - only eternity will reveal the impact of your work in saving lives and changing mindset - so grateful to God for you all. God bless!
Revolution of the complacent
If fruit bothers you, or you think they do, don't eat them. You have a whole big world of fruits and vegetables to enjoy. All you're giving up are animal products and oils. Dr. McDougall puts it simply. He says to pick out a starch, and add some colorful vegis. I have lost about 100 lbs and am struggling to put a halt to the downward trajectory. I've added avocados, and almonds. Because of my history, I figured I'd gained, but got weighed yesterday, and was down 4 lbs. I will continue to work within the calorie density plan, but have to learn to maintain a healthy fit way if life. Thank you all for being so honest. I've known about, and eaten plant based/vegan since the early 80s, but managed to gain a lot of weight, and lose my way pretty good. Now, I'm back on track, and hope you stick with it too.
Well done, stick to you healthy living plan, well done and respect to you, this lifestyle works for me to!
Did you lose it by going WFPB or did you do other things?
I admire these courageous people on their journeys. And, as a european it is sad for me to see HOW MUCH weight they had put on, having been on the correctly called "SAD" diet for years. I really wish they all succeed in getting their health back!
That’s how addictive food is. People would rather be on expensive medication’s and have an early death then stick to the diet.
This is 💯 so true. I have had patients be on over a dozen meds, me talk to them about changing their diets, and them ending the conversation with “You’re not supposed to be judging me. I’m gonna go make myself a grilled cheese sandwich now” 😣 🤦🏼♀️
@@vegalaveganaIt's unfortunate but we have to keep trying! For every 10 that refuse to change, 1 will listen and be willing to do so- and hopefully that number will continue to increase! Are you a physician?
@@bryant475 I’m a pharmacist
In a vegan world, these pandemics would have never happened. I'm starting my 15th year as a vegan and how while it has really changed since I started, we need to do better. Bravo for this film, so inspiring.
WRONG lol
Not just vegan but WFPB :)
Haven't watched it yet but sharing with my sisters. I have been vegan for 9 years. WFPB for 2.5 years. Reversed everything. Feel closer to God than ever. I am 67. I absolutely love this way of life. I did take T. Collin Campbell's Certification course several years ago.
My sister did this exact thing to me 5 years ago. The education piece and everything (we watched all the movies 😂). She sent me home and I’ve never looked back.
I've noticed I don't enjoy eating the high calorie unhealthy foods anymore. The feeling afterwards is just not worth it. I've learned how to make delicious healthy foods and I truly enjoy eating this way every day. It's wonderful. Thanks for all the amazing work you do PlantPure!
people NEED TO SHARE THIS.
Thank you Nelson and all the people who helped to make this thoughtful film.
I’ve read all your father’s books. What a contribution he is making to the earth, the human race and all living creatures simply by showing us the power of eating plants as our food. Thank you and your family in helping us understand his vision of a healthier and more kind world. This work will succeed not from government, industry, or high tech, but from a grass roots revolution of we the people.
During the interviews, there are faceless women in the background cooking. This is me. And I would like to be this person for as many people in the world as possible. Just cook the food. Eat the food. Feel better and live!
I would love for you to cook for me or help me get motivated.
thank you sweett❤ love from the big island 🏝️
Peace for all of humanity begins on our dinner plate
This was a powerful reminder that freedom is possible, but most importantly, it's possible only when we're willing to take responsibility for our own health. This inspired me not to give up! The change will be a challenge, but it will not be nearly as challenging as a life with chronic disease.
Yep! As Dr. Esselstyn said in the Forks Over Knives documentary: "Some people call WFPB Nutrition extreme. Half a million people a year will have their chests opened up, and a vein taken from their leg and sewn onto their coronary artery. Some people would call that extreme." 100% true, but he was a little too gracious- changing "some" to "most" is more accurate! Keep up the good work, btw the Forks Over Knives site is a great resource for recipes and info in general!
I get more joy out of cooking healthy than eating healthy
Thank you to the Campbell's both! I am pure vegan for 3 months now, never looked back. I am wondering how to start a movement in my local area in Hobart, as I want to now spread the word in as nice a way as I can, not being too pushy but gently.
The couple that went back to eating animals are representative of most people; addiction to food is a real struggle. I’m proud of those who stuck to it, especially the veteran; he “got” it.
The biggest cause of death is ignorance. I’m Navajo, and I know my ancestors did not eat SADiet. We are like big babies who want to eat badly and look like we’re fit. It’s one or the other: whole plant or party food.
One thing I have learned is not to beat myself up if I stumble on this road. As the Dr. said, it's a journey. Stay on track and stay on point. Seize the win.
Thank you for making and sharing this video. This type of intervention is one of the data points in "The China Study" that impressed me the most- where you take people with diabetes, give them plant-based, whole food for less than 2 months (just 10 days, in this case), and their need for insulin disappears. Truly incredible, since I've only ever heard that diabetes is a chronic condition.
What I didn't expect was how inspiring this video would be. Very heartfelt and touching.
Shared!
I feel so strongly for some of these people who have struggled with the changes. Though I have gone through a long journey of getting to a WFPB existence, I was not making the best food choices even under an otherwise healthy-seeming diet. Only in the past 18 months or so have I been focused the actual nutrition and my actual needs and calorie requirements, which has led to great improvements in my health, weight, and energy. I still have a chronic condition that will never go away, but my medications have been lowered by 75% or more and I am in significantly less pain than before. It was very hard for me, though, to let go of the idea that I was an unwell person, and to have no hope that real improvements would ever happen, and used that mindset as an excuse to keep making indulgent or self-pitying food choices. It actually took a family trip where I was lagging behind and in terrible pain the whole time to face the reality that it was entirely up to me to improve my health condition. Nobody else could do it for me.
Best of luck to anyone else out there struggling. The best advise I can offer you: Don't eat everything you want.
Excellent film, passed along to many to help keep our motivation strong. Thank you to all the Campbell's esp T. Colin Campbell.
Ugh! I was a wellness coach for years and years! It always made me sooo sad to see folks do soo well for sooo long..and then fall off the wagon...and go right back to the beginning...It hurts so much..This makes me so sad that so many of these folks couldn't stay focused enough to continue this lifestyle...
I was disappointed at first as well but Nelson Campbell pointed out that 50% of the participants kept it up and that's quite hopeful!
There's an economic component to sticking with it.
@@cwilliams7017How so? Rice and beans cost next to nothing? I think convenience is more of an issue.
@@cwilliams7017 I live on a WFPB diet that costs me around 5-10 bucks a day. You can't live like that on chops, steaks, sausages, bacon, eggs, yoghurt, chicken etc. I know, because I used to live like that....nay (said the negative horse), correction, not live....... just exist, as a lardass.
@@chezsuzie did you see them eating rice and beans? It's not just about the food either. There's a lot more to the program as shown.
This program was so refreshing and honest. As a vegan pharmacist I can’t tell you how often I recommend patients go on a whole food plant based diet. They feel hopeless and resigned to take over a dozen meds on a daily basis. They tell me their doctor never talked to them about a wfpb diet. I know how sneaky and dishonest BigPharma can be and this program showed patients’ true responses to being on these harmful meds and how they feel about BigPharma. I loved it when that patient had his own Independence Day; I straight up cried and felt so happy for him and the others. Please make more programs like this available in poorer, underserved cities like here in South Florida because the Latin and Haitian community here is large and animal based foods heavy.
From the disclaimer in the beginning, you can already tell this will be good
Motivational amazing job on the film! Keep up the good work
That was inspiring. It was wonderful to see the dramatic changes in health that took place. I think a big part of that success was the sense of community that the immersion group created. People from different backgrounds all found common ground in turning their lives and health around. I thank you for including the 6 months later part. It showed that remaining plant-based is a struggle when you are on your own, surrounded by small-minded people, and food industry propaganda. I too have recently gone plant-based and have already seen some dramatic reductions in total and LDL cholesterol and a dramatic increase in my kidney eGFR. I have also been going on 3 mile brisk walks after dinner. After initial pushback from my wife, she is coming up with interesting meatless dishes for me. I have created my own version of the Seventh Day Adventist "haystack," leaving out the salty, processed parts but including leftover rice and potatoes, chopped cabbage and lettuce, fruit and nuts, and tossing them with a low fat dressing. RUclips channels like Earthling Ed, Plantchompers, and Plant Based News provide me with the inspiration and scientific facts I need to continue. I wish that a short version of this video concentrating just on the people in the immersion group and their before, during, and after experiences could be made so that it could get wider distribution. Maybe your "graduates" could become public speakers who show such a video and then add any extra themes like prevention of the next pandemic in the discussion that follows.
Thank you, thank you thank you what an amazing story. I’ve been so blessed I’ve learned more and more about living a life in a pure plant environment. Thank you again God bless you all.
God won't save you on a plant based diet.
You can make ground beef substitute using walnuts and cauliflower and using it for tacos is wonderful. Buffalo style cauliflower chicken wings are fantastic. Add salads with darker greens. Organically grown. No pesticides!!!
I do walnuts, onion, mushrooms, lentils and a dash of soy sauce to make my ground beef mix. It is very rich and flavorful. Adding chickpeas to salads makes them more filling and I like to add hot sauce and pickled red onions for a flavor boost.
I will need to look into this! My dad is a meat lover and I'm trying to change that for better health
Holidays crushed me once again... addicted to food again, feel like poop, ugh sugar addiction so hard
Keep your home clean and batch cook
Follow Chef A.J
She has gone through that path.
Well, at least you've identified the problem... Processed plants
Great film! Awesome to see Dr. Marbas she has the best daily Whole Foods plant based on YouTub!
The foods look so delicious! Once people see that plant based foods are as good - even better than the standard fare it will get more people to try it out. Thanks for sharing all this great info - and beautiful foods♥
Agreed! I see you have WFPB recipe content- you have a new sub! As a WFPB health coach and future physician, I'm always glad to see more youtubers with WFPB recipe content to share with my patients/mentees :) Keep up the good work, God bless!
China Study story begun here in our country, the Phillipines, will you please help us here. I am begging you to help us here. Many of us here are dying of chronic diseases. And it seems that a lot of doctors here and govt officials know nothing about the power of nutrition. Dr Collin Campbell please help us here.
Stand on your own two feet and learn what real food is. Before veganism, supermarkets and sugar, there was no sickness. We all smoked and no one had type 2 or heart disease. Now look and see. Meat has no sugar.
Think what your very elderly, pre-war people ate. They ate real food, were healthy, suffered no heart disease, or type 2. Even though everyone smoked, cancer wasn't as chronic as it is today because sugar is what feeds it.
Take your health back into your own hands, stop taking the killer medicines. A lost patient is lost money for the doctors, hospitals, insurance companies and big pharma. Find the older people in your area and ask what they did to stay healthy. Keep carb intake down, stop eating prepackaged foods. Blessings to all of you🤍🕯️🤍
That’s true
Propaganda works.
Whatever the topic of interest
do some research by YOURself from more than outside-you, one-source ideologies.
Think ! Ask questions.
VeganISM / vegetarianISM are ideologies for roads to GUARANTEED Nutritional Deficiencies.
Everyone’s physiology is DIFFERENT !
Steelworkers have different nutritional needs than desk-regulators.
Everyone is prone to different deficiencies and needs a wider range of PERSONAL nutritional solutions.
“Carnivore ( fresh, quality-meat ) diets” ALSO work for many omnivore humans !
Diversify your access to information beyond ‘one shot wonders’ because propaganda’s distorted ideological agenda$ are NOT Truths.
Wishing you all ; Peace, Love, Light & Easy Breathing … based on open HONESTY & Freedom from thought-tyrannie$ from top-dog-down dogma$.
A very insightful and inspiring documentary.
Beautiful movie! Thank you!~. I wonder how they are all doing?
What a beautiful place this is. The scenery.... Amazing. that should be health promoting already.
Magnificent work done by all! Congratulations!😊
Sometimes side affects of meds and eating wrong combinations of food cause of form of inner depression and people don’t realize that that brings on feeling of giving up. I will not. I am a “Winner.”
Enjoyed watching this teaching on 🌱 plant based food. I am having these issues like these people. I am going to try harder to eat more vegetables 🥕 and fruits 🍎. At the moment I am staying from too much sweets and salt starchy foods,anything that will cause the blood pressure and cholesterol also blood sugar to go up.pray for me.
I learned so much from this video
Learn this then. Your brain is made up of 60% fat and 20% cholesterol. Veganism starves the brain.
And don't mind trolls who have never studied human physiology or read original nutrition studies.
@@soilikasanen Be careful. You don't know to whom you're babbling.
@@toni4729 Enlighten me with your CV, please.
Lack of planning ahead. I have to batch cook to stay on any diet
Add water with lemon to your daily food intake, do a parasite cleanse, parasites are a huge trigger for sweets.
I do quick ingredient prep each week. I keep roasted sweet potatoes and regular potatoes in the fridge as well as a couple of homemade sauces, cooked rice, or quinoa, beans and lentils stocked and keep frozen veggies and fruits in freezer. Can make a ton of meals with just those few ingredients.
Wish we were closer. If ever in Missouri stop by our Cafe.
I've known many vegetarians who have developed these illnesses too.
I've known many vegetarians that were weak and unhealthy that had anemia, broken and brittle nails, dull and lifeless hair, thin muscles, tiredness, depression and anxiety, underweight and sickly.
I've known other vegetarians who became obese as vegetarians.
Everyone's chemistry and metabolism is different.
Any kind of change in the diet will change numbers because the body is readjusting to the change. It's more important to see long-term results than results after just 10 days.
Vegetarian is not plant based. They could be eating eggs or Impossible patties. No one - NO ONE - gets worse on this food. Maaaaybe one in a thousand. The fact you know many vegetarians that did poorly says more about them. I highly doubt they were eating unprocessed plant based. Rice, veggies, fruits, no oil, low salt, etc. Aint buyin it.
You aren't talking about vegetarians that eat healthy then. Being vegetarian doesn't mean the individual eats whole food plant based foods. I'm 64 and in the health field and see a ton of people and the majority of people who eat whole food plant based food are far superior in health then those that eat the standard American diet. That's easily backed up with data. However, if you want to selectively look at vegetarians who eat tons of processed food and try comparing them to others, that's a biased assessment but not what this is about. Compare apples with apples.
There is plenty of data to support long term improvement by eating a whole food plant based diet.
This is along the same lines as those people who say they were "vegan" for X amount of time but it didn't work for them. Claiming their bodies NEEDED animal protein. Then you find out they hate mostly junk food the whole time. Yes, potato chips, cereals, soda, cookies, cakes, french fries and milk shakes may be "vegan" because they don't come from any animal, but those foods don't comprise a healthy, balanced, vegan lifestyle. @@Bonnie-yu3kj
That is why we should follow scientific consensus not anecdotal experience.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 100%
Its funny how, even people I'd gone to the gym with regularly, responded to the pandemic and gym closures so differently.
Some of us became fitter than we'd ever been, started to grow our own vegetables, and built gardens - others seemed to completely give up and gained a lot of weight.
I think the "why?" is very important when you make a decision to tske care of yourself. It needs to be bigger than you. If you're lucky and just love it, you'll always come up with a "why."
But if its hard for you, you need to really think about why you want to live this way, and the "whys" need to be strong enough convictions that you don't bargain it all away - as in "my cholesterol numbers were xxx, now their x, maybe I can just do what i want and stop at xx?"
I don't know, just a thought...
Very educational
Haha, that ad about Dulaglutide (Trulicity) seemed like 75% talking about the SIDE EFFECTS of the drug! I actually thought it was an SNL spoof! They are trying to promote a drug by listing it's contraindications. I wish people could just wake up and see that. It's like they're in a cult.
Look at the dramatic difference in the Gunthers: she looks more like his daughter than his wife.
I would have edited out the open refrigerator with vegetables that were not fresh and the dirty bottom shelf; incredibly unsightly after seeing all the plant based healthy meals.
I feel great on plant based diet, i just get bored n dream about cheesesteaks n wings
Can you have a cheat day? Or does that just ruin everything
How do type two diabetics survive on plants. If I tried I would die from high blood sugar or the medication it would need to treat a very high blood sugar.
A good experiment, but like the film a few years ago “raw for 30” I am disappointed in how many of those people walked away from their successes and returned to a life of sliding down the slope towards death and disease..
You just don't get illl if you look after your terrain.
Could you suggest some good recipe books please
How Not To Die Cookbook. Website Forks Over Knives.
There are so many great ones. For starters, I would suggest "The Engine 2 Cookbook" by Rip and Jane Esselstyn and "Plant Strong" also by Rip Esselstyn (it's 1/2 info book, and 1/2 cookbook). They really simplify everything and use more "typical" ingredients. The Fork Over Knives cookbook is great, but uses hard-to-find ingredients and focuses on a lot of dishes that, face it, most of us average Joe's and Jane's aren't going to recognize or want to try.
I am not diabetic, but it runs in my family, so I am careful about what I eat so I won't become a diabetic
Is this a whole foods, plant based and low fat diet?
To cure chronic diseases only plant & fruits based no cooke food.
Once your symptom gone you can eat whole grain with zero oil curry.
In heal journey just eat raw vegetble to cure diseases. Omega3 fods also add it. ❤
Yep
Raised a hard core vegan by hippie parents. We didn’t eat processed vegan real scratch vegan. Started to develop severe autoimmune conditions. In my fifties I saw a natural path and they put me in the begging on a modified autoimmune protocol diet. I needed meat. They told me, but I’ve never eaten meat so the thought of it was disgusting but I was determined to heal myself naturally. So I started with bone broth liver pills. I eventually started eating quality grass fed humanely raised animal products. I am in the best health of my life, I rarely eat vegetables. Everybody is different we all have our unique way of being. But I discovered that I had celiac disease, so the fresh grain bread that my dad was grinding himself was killing me. I also have an allergy to soy. And yeast. All these things were contributing to my autoimmune diseases. Diet is not one size fits. Plants were killing me literally.
Thanks for drawing attention to yourself.
Developing autoimmune issues and then eating meat and saying viola I'm cured is not how science is conducted. What did the meat have to do with any of that? Why on earth don't you eat veggies? Veggies have nothing to do with autoimmune diseases and being raised vegan had what to do with developing autoimmune diseases later in life?
There is nothing humane about eating meat from an animal. Everybody isn't different when it comes to good nutrition. We all operate on the basic foundation of good nutritional principles backed up by science. There is no debate on the fact that your diet should be composed of mostly fruits and veggies. After that, people can quibble but hardly eating veggies as you stated is not a good idea at all whether your are functioning or not. Long term that may very well come back to bite you in the you know where. Fiber is extremely important and meat has none.
Some of us are outliers, but most of us are the same. A plant based whole food diet is beneficial to the vast majority of humans and the planet itself.
Plants absolutely weren't killing you. There is nothing in meat that you can't find in plants. Your body doesn't know whether you are eating meat or plants to get your nutrients. Rarely eating vegetables is a very poor idea. People are not different in the nutrients that they need. An allergy to soy and yeast doesn't mean you have to eat meat????
The vegans I know are losing their hair, suffering from long covid, have fainting spells and are constantly irritable, bloated and overwait.
This vegan fad is literally a cult.
Can you get Greek subtitles here
So as a type 2 vegan, you can eat whatever fruit and vegetables you want?
As a confirmed, plant based whole foods vegan for 10 years now, I am greatly inspired and affirmed in my beliefs by this film...this is our path. For the animals., for the planet, for our health and quality of life!! THANK YOU AND BRAVO!
very well but i wish you wouldve talked about the animals as well and the ethics side of things...
It’s truly non-nutritional to eat “emotionally-based ethics.”
I agree. People who only care about being plant-based for personal health too easily rationalize cheating. On the other hand, it’s very easy to stick to plant-based when you are aware of and care about the horrors and suffering in the animal farming industry!
@@chezsuzieYes, because people confuse vegan and plant based. Veganism is a way of life…plant based is only the diet part. I can’t justify exploiting animals when we can be healthier on a vegan diet.💚🌱
Yeah and they didn't talk about the first moon landing or the 1963 Indianapolis 500 or chicoo prices in India or why wheelbarrows don't have windows....God, and they had so much time.
There are tons of other films and documentaries who also highlight that. I, for once, appreciate one that doesn't for a change, and concentrates on the health effects of a plant-based diet.
One very important fact is missing here, you have to eat a low fat diet. High fat is the main reason people claim they've tried a vegan diet but it didn't work. Going from highly processed junk to wfpb makes people lean toward nuts and seeds as more than 30% of their diet which causes a host of other problems.
There are many natural plants that can help with any of these issues and others, Moringa is one of them but there are a lot more
Portion control is essential, learn as to how Japanese eat small portion lot of variety
How I know, because we do with others 😊
Most important know your foods their benefits and how they can influence your well-being
Instead of algebra we should teach nutrition in school and talk about at home
Like what foods can do what 😮
How about Type 1 diabetes?
lets say bye bye to Pharmacies❤😂
Been wfpb for 12 years and thriving through menopause. But that chef would not inspire me to go vegan if I were to start my journey. Is he really wfpb?.....Looks as if his diet doesn't have much effect on his body. Or perhaps he's not the truth about his diet at all?
My grandma died from diabetes.
All plant proteins have incomplete amino acid patterns. This makes it impossible to renew the body.
A complete protein can not be created by mixing the incomplete proteins of legumes and grains, (i.e.beans and rice)
Complete proteins are found only in animal products. The protein from eggs, milk, ruminants support growth.
The only picture needed to prove this point is a comparison between the stunted appearance of kids raised on soy spreads, nut milk and fake meat...to those well nourished with whole raw milk, raw butter, regeneratively raised grass fed ruminants and pastured eggs.
Each day the body is deprived of complete protein is a day of damage.
The species appropriate diet for humans is carnivore.
Check out what former vegans say to their carnivory doctors on youtube.😢
Cows milk has much more growth hormones than human milk because it's excellent nourishment for calves - not for humans. Have you thought where the animals who you eat have got their protein?
Why human milk does contain oligosaccharides? Why is there amylase in human saliva? Why do our jaws move sideways unlike any true omnivore animal? Why do we have microbiome thriving with fiber rich foods? Do you know what is endothelial glycocalyx ?
I agree with an organic plant based diet but I disagree with automatically lowering cholesterol it is being shown that lowering cholesterol also lowers the lining protecting the brain and upping the dementia diagnosis. I'm not ok with that. Now if science can actually get on the same page unless it's the cholesterol lowering medicine causing the dementia. I'm done with main stream medicine and all of their meds.
I think you'll find that the vast majority of people with dementia do not have low cholesterol, since the majority of people have high or normal cholesterol. So you want "the science" to get on the same page? With what? Your opinions? That's not how science works.....
Are you aware about reverse causality?
Why not “experiment” with people with heart disease or stage 1 cancers? We all learned that diabetes can be reversed by changing food and doing more exercise years ago! We need to see further proof. It’s time that you get people with curable cancers (that are at stage 1 or 2) or people with heart diseases on these special diets and let folks see results. Diet can’t cure cancer per sé but it’d be interesting to see what the results of a month long plant-based diet yield.
Check Dr Dean Ornish
I don't think this study was done fairly. I think they got good results from going off sugar and some other very bad eating habits.
I'd like to see blood work from a long-term vegan and a carnivore and someone who eats a healthy, balanced diet of both who don't eat junk or abuse calories and compare health and muscle mass
Vegans always score better. 😂 Every few years the low carb diet is rebranded as paleo, keto, atkins, carnivore, bulletproof or some other nonsense, because its not sustainable.
@fitawrarifitness6842 I don't believe in any of those diets. They are all somewhat extreme. I get the impression that vengenisim if more of a religion.
I believe in all food groups as long as it's the way God made and not turned into something the body doesn't even recognize.
Don't abuse portions sizes and calories.
It's very hard to build muscle on a vengen diet. And you can't find all 9 essential amino acids in the amount you need from plants
Hi..this documentary is on plant-based eating not veganism. Just want to clarify because people get these two confused for some reason.
I don't understand the family members, who are not plant based and who apparently don't even consider doing so for a couple of days, when mom is around. It helped her so much, but they don't care???
Thank you for this beautiful film! Sadly, "the science" is now corrupt and so i dpnt hold out any hope that things will be done any differently for 'the next pandemic'. Not to mention....the vorus came from a lab leak in the girst place and gaon of function research is STILL being done today. 😢😢
Beef 🥩, butter 🧈, bacon 🥓, and eggs 🍳 is the way … proper Human Diet
raise your own money. youre n ot doctorsz. go eat grass. no cholesterol in 10 days is bullpucky.
Plants don't produce cholesterol in the body. Why is this hard to understand?
What about exercise??? I don’t hear emphasis on that..30 minutes is all they need and people in wheelchairs exercise so I don’t want to hear sob stories. Unless you are a paraplegic, you can move!
I pity anyone who thinks cholesterol should be removed from their body. It is more than 20% of our brain cells and is necessary in every cell in our body. The danger in our diet is sugar. Too much fructose in particular.
There’s a difference between just enough and TOO MUCH. The body MAKES its own cholesterol. There’s no need to supplement it in the diet.
@@chezsuzie That's your opinion and it's wrong. Our body requires a massive amount of it for every cell in the body including our sex hormones. Most people learn this very quickly, that's why people give up veganism.
You can't remove cholesterol from the body. Even if you stop ingesting it, the liver makes it.
I could think of a lot of reasons to pity some people but certainly not because they believe cholesterol should be removed from their body LOL
Yet another comment trying to cast doubt on the efficacy of a plant based diet. 😂😂😂
Just eat real,whole food, fruit, vegetables, meat... tribalism on vegan, carnivore, keto, paleo is just not the answer... with ALL of the genetic diversity within humans seems pretty crazy to believe everyone should eat the same thing.
Sounds like a cult. Are you going to join one of their “pods”?
Better than joining the morgue
It’s literally someone helping others switch to a plant based diet. I went to one at a library. Also another one was just a potluck which I helped with.
Humans gather together to learn and to join with others over one or more facets in their lives ie: how to get healthier. "Cult: a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing." You should check a dictionary before throwing around such words.
"Sounds like a cult". That was the first comment I saw on this podcast. Are you kidding? Or just mentally challenged? I do not mean that in any insulting way. Please take a look around you, do a little research, it won't take much. There is so much horrible sickness, debilitating lifestyles today. How could anyone make such a statement. Food, exercise lifestyle change, that's the very thing we need to take a real look at. The processed foods we have been so drawn to, is killing us. Your children are dieing from the FDA APPROVED food, drink, nameless drugs, countless over the counter very expensive products, we have been successful convinced we need. It's not true, this program should be funded by our government, but it's not. Why? It's a short but very accurate answer. Healthy people don't need pharmaceutical drugs, artificial food and drink. Think about it. Your health is NOT more important than big companies making billions from the things that are killing us and our children. I'm just sorry I didn't learn these facts 50 years ago. Please investigate before its too late you you and yours. Don't continue to pass on to your children the same unhealthy lifestyles we have for the last too many years. Geninetics loads the gun, but lifestyles pull the trigger. Every time.
