This was a large part of the first section of How Not To Diet-the one a lot of people complained about in the reviews. Too many words, too much like a textbook, just give me the diet already... The trouble is, those who do eat a lot of SAD CRAP really need to see how the deck is stacked against them. Once they start to understand their biological drive for calorie dense food, the (successful) attempts of food manufacturers to make processed stuff so addictive and the government subsidies that make it all possible, making truly healthy choices that fulfill our bodies' needs is much easier. I love this man. If I ever get to meet him I will make a complete fool of myself. How do you not when someone has helped save your life?
I was fortunate enough to have been introduced to Dr.greger a couple of years ago. Following his analysis on foods I was able to discipline myself and with my family doctor monitoring my weekly results, I got of my blood pressure medication in 3 months. Of course, my diet was changed significantly. Thank you Dr.greger? Janet😊
My greatest weaknesses are berries. Cherries are the worst followed by blueberries and blackberries. I can eat embarrassing amounts. I’m also kind of addicted to romaine lettuce (shrug), and broccoli, mostly raw. I eat lots and lots of food. If I had a weakness for high density foods it would be a disaster. Just luck I’m a little weird.
This is similar information that Dr. Lisle presented in his book "The Pleasure Trap" by Dr. Doug Lisle back in 2006. This is why many have late-night cravings for C.R.A.P.. One possible solution: eat your last and/or only meal right before you go to sleep. As former meat, cheese, eggs, and dairy consumers know, C.R.A.P. cravings still can come, out of the blue, periodically, so you have to resist. If you indulge, you begin to re-condition your pleasure center, making it even harder to get back on the Whole-food, Plant-based wagon. Thanks for another great video, Doc.
Another outstanding video from Dr. Greger and his team. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a nationwide chain of restaurants called The Daily Dozen? Eating out on a plant-based diet is almost impossible when practically every menu item features either meat or dairy or both! Good vegan or even vegetarian restaurants are hard to come by, at least here in Minneapolis.
Great podcast! This sums up our current predicament with the food industry... "practicing your wall painting" lol, that's why artists are good at raiding other peoples fridges.
Monkeys also prefer cream sandwich cookies to bananas. A tour guide took a group of us to a place off the road where monkeys wait in trees for tourists' upstretched hands holding food. But then some tourist gave the monkeys cookies and they were no longer eager for bananas. The guide told us to use the special artificially sweetened cookies he provided since there's no dentist for the poor monkeys. The males also liked to get a lemon since it repels mosquitos when rubbed on their skin; they would trade a lemon with a female for sex. So, the world's oldest business turns out to be monkey business.
It's hard to be obese if you're vegan unless you're doing something unusual like drinking refined vegetable oils or consuming a lot of sugar or dried fruits & nuts most of the day. I hardly can hit 2,200 calories a day !
It's not that hard in today's world of vegan junk food. My diet could easily consist of impossible burgers, french fries and Oreos, full of processed vegan substitutes and wouldn't seem unusual when compared to the standard American diet.
@@breeze3364 You nailed it-that's why we're WFPB, although I think that's what Sami meant. When I switched I lost more weight than I care to admit and it was effortless. Drives my portion-control carnivore friends crazy.
Being vegan can make you obese look up Vegan Gains 😂 dude just let himself go. Being vegan only matters when you actually follow a plant based diet, but this isn't exclusive to veganism.
Its not necessarily the more calorically dense thing people crave. People often choose cake (less calories) over nuts (morecalories), white rice (less calories) over whole wheat bread (more calories), soda(less calories) over raisins (way more calories). Often just the more processed food.
@Soluco true, and it probably takes much faster to eat say a piece of cake that is 200g and may be 600 calories than 100g of nuts that may be 600 calories. But he should have mentioned the absorbsion and speed factors so people don't get the false idea that whole plant foods are always lower in calories. I used to be a binge eater I gained 30 pounds on a mostly whole foods vegan diet. Also lost the weight on the same sort of diet restricting calories
Calories from carbs don't matter, only calories from fat. No one gets fat on raisins or white rice that are very low fat. It's the fat bombs like cookies, cakes, donuts, ice cream, and chocolate that make people fat.
Every calorie absorbed is a calorie absorbed, and anyone can become overweight on a diet of any food eaten in exess. Sure whole foods have fiber which isn't absorbed much but that only makes up a tiny fraction of the calories in the food, plus often the fiber calories are usually subtracted in the usda nutrition facts for that food.
It is not necessary essay to deprive yourself of modern super delicious foods to eat a healthy diet. The total calories of your entire diet is what's important. Eating an occasional Snickers bar, apple pie, ice cream, and chocolate chip cookie is not going to make you fat and harm your health. There is plenty of room in a 2000 calorie a day diet for these foods along with some exercise and still get all the protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients to keep you healthy and have a long life.
The problem is for some folks, occasional becomes often then becomes the norm. If one can truly keep it the exception, not the norm, you're right. The trouble is, it can keep your taste for this sort of crap active which leads to increasing deviations. Then there are those who think WFPB is already super delicious and the 'treats' you mentioned just don't taste good any more.
Animals are whole foods made by nature not created in a factory or milled into flour or a refinery into seed oil. 70% of calories in the American diet come from grain and seed oils. 30% come from animal products and less than 20% of that would constitute fat. So i ask how is it that animal products are always the villian when its primarily grain and seed that are where the majority of processed disease causing food is coming from in our diet. Animals, vegetables snd fruits are whole foods provided by nature not by humans and agriculture in plants and factories. USDA A Look at Calorie Sources in the American Diet According to ERS’s loss-adjusted food availability data, total daily calories per person decreased by 2 percent between 2000 and 2010 from 2,545 to 2,481 calories. The share of calories from animal- and plant-based foods was the same in both years at 30 percent and 70 percent, respectively. In both years, grains were the primary contributor to daily calories per capita (596 in 2000 and 581 in 2010). Added plant-based fats and oils-such as salad and cooking oil, margarine, and shortening-ranked second (480 in 2000 and 518 in 2010), followed by meat, poultry, and fish (438 in 2000 and 416 in 2010). Over 1000 calories from grain and added sugar and sweetners and 500 calories from seed oils. Around 700 calories from meat, dairy Nd animal fats Vegetables and fruit only amounted to 200 calories. You vegans love to blame all the issues on animal products when they only account for 30% of calories in contrast to 70% from primarily grain, sugar and seed oils. Google the title to see the complete breakdown on the USDA website I will say it once again GRAIN is the foundation of our poor health.
Seeds oils, trans fats, excess saturated fat, ultra processed foods with all the artificial ingredients (most of them loaded with fat) caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and stimulants are the foundation of our poor health not grains alone, lol
@@dj-fe4ck grain and sugar processed into ultra processed food, and seed oils are the primary drivers of metabolic dysfunction, disease and obesity from our diet animal products are only bad when eaten with the processed garbage. Animals products/meat, vegs and fruit are healthy if not eaten with the processed garbage. I am Paleo lost 40 lbs reversed pre diabetes and high blood pressure eating a foundatiom of primarily meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit. You cant take pure fuel processed grain, sugar snd seed oil and pour it into a body, digestive system designed for whole foods and not end up with dysfunction. Without the sugar, starch and grain i maintain my weight at 57 what i weight in my early 20s. Grain is largely the biggest part of the problem and i dont eat it anymore.
@@dj-fe4ck additionally there is something inherently wrong with grain. If a ruminant heeibivore eats it in nature as a plant the seed goes in and out whole in the manure. You take a cow put them in a feed lot feed them grain for 3-4 months they get fat and fast ectopically in the muscle. That is not normal or healthy and its what happens to humans once they become metabolically dysfunctional. Its the foundation of commercial dog food and it causes all the same dysfunction and disease as humans have on a grain foundation diet, diabetes, cancers, oral health issues and rotten teeth, allergies snd obesity and dogs dont consume pop and beer either. So you go on with your grain foundation diet i will go with what nature intended and what is largely unprocessed. Probably get hit by a blind woman getting the mail or shot by a crazy neighbor tomorrow the way things are going but i will be healthy knock on wood.
This video should be used as a disclaimer before every processed food ad on TV or online. Thank you, Mr Greger once again.

junk/fast food ads should be banned altogether.........just like smoking ads were.

I would agree that it's hard to be obese when following a whole food plant based diet, which falls under a vegan diet.
@@breeze3364 You nailed it-that's why we're WFPB, although I think that's what Sami meant. When I switched I lost more weight than I care to admit and it was effortless. Drives my portion-control carnivore friends crazy.
To be completely honest, it's also hard to be obese if you have a healthy wholefoods non vegan diet.
Being vegan can make you obese look up Vegan Gains 😂 dude just let himself go. Being vegan only matters when you actually follow a plant based diet, but this isn't exclusive to veganism.
I don't think the studies would survive my insane desire for cucumbers...
Any thoughts about RHD and wheather diet can reverse it? Or at least following a 🌿 based diet would not require regular injections.. any studies?
That's a bloody funny
Is the cheese still going to be bad even if its without any setteners, sugar etc and is organic, even though its technically still processed?
Cheese has more calories per gram than pure sugar.
@@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38 That does not make cheese unhealty tho, alot of calories does not mean its bad.
What if you just take a fiber supplement
😀😃

The calories in cake are more easily absorbed when compared to nuts, same with the other things mentioned

@99temporal nuts are fattening in large amounts. Plain white rice is not in any amount.
Basically, stay away from the hard drugs!
I think vegans should be compassionate with their bodies too.
I'd like to eat Gregors liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
