5 Reasons To Eliminate Oil From Your Diet Immediately

[@paulsuchy6210]

When I started the transition to eliminate oil, I began to realize how crappy I felt after eating stuff made with oil; if our stove gets a disgusting film on it after cooking with oil, imagine what our insides must be like.

[@debrajessen7975]

Ya, I noticed that too🤢🤮 I’ve only been plant based for about 3 months👍

[@CarrieDHall]

Good point... I hate how greasy the stove/oven gets...hubby uses tons of oils when he cooks. Your comment has helped reinforce how gross oil really is. Thanks!

[@Prodigious1One]

Whoa

[@faithhopelove6945]

Thats the Point ! How do U feel after a Meal...(? , that must be be the 1st Question ! With no Oil Dressings, Foods, i feel not tired at all after a Meal. Thats a complete other League. RAW FOOD is the MASTER of FOODS. U cant TOP it !

[@patblack2291]

I am grateful for your oil-free recipes. There are so many vegan youtubers showing recipes with oil that I don't want to make. I've had friends who didn't bat an eye that I didn't eat animals, but were astounded when I told them I didn't cook with oil! Now if I could just find an oil-free restaurant, that would astound me!

[@WholePlantFoodForLife]

You both are so articulate when explaining reasons to eat whole plant food and oil free. Thank you so much for this video!! The entire world needs to watch this video.

[@sectionalsofa]

WFPB cardiologist, Dr. Joel Kahn, recently reviewed an extensive study out of Spain where two groups consuming olive oil in their diets, one with smaller amounts, one with larger, and after years of follow up, the group consuming larger amounts had better endothelium functioning, and clearer arteries. They were not comparing olive oil consumption to butter consumption, but smaller to larger amounts of OO. I was basically following the advice of the wfpb doctors, but this recent research, has me rethinking this doctrine. I still won't consume copious amounts, but a teaspoon or two on my salad (yes, I measure) is now, not off the table.

[@KO78769]

Ok, but what if they compared them to the group that eats whole olives?

[@LaVonneEllis]

I never thought about how disgusting oil is when it’s splattered all over your stove and the backsplash, etc. A big reason why I like a vegan lifestyle is because I am paranoid about bacteria from chicken and meat contaminating other food if I don’t clean it up well enough. Now I can add oil to my paranoia. Lol

[@WellYourWorld]

Exactly!

[@rozchristopherson648]

I'm 60 and vegan for 6 years now. And I agree with most of what is said here in this video about oil. But I will say this. I don't cook with oil because I eat a mainly raw diet in the summers and soups and salad during the winter months. But I will use oil in salad dressings. Oil is helpful to digest nutrients in vegetables and eating whole olives in every salad is not always a solution. Some salads don't call for olives or even olive oil but are better with an oil and vinegar dressing with a mild-flavored oil such as avocado or sunflower oil, etc. which is used to cut the acidity of the vinegar. I wouldn't overdo it, but I think there is still a place for some small use of oil besides cooking with oil.

[@doinacampean9132]

When I first started cooking with no oil, it was not hard to learn, just add a little bit of water, so the food doesn't stick and burn. And if it did stick, add a bit more water to deglaze... But doing the dishes after, what a HUGE relief... practically just rinsing, compared with the heavy elbow grease involved in washing... well.. greasy dishes... If I may, according to a number of doctors, ditching oil from your diet may have the side effect of reversing your type 2 diabetes... a wonderful #6 reason... Look it up... start with dr Neal Barnard... I know my own pre-diabetes got reversed and not planning to reverse the reversal anytime soon :)

[@Apollo440]

I was doing 40 minutes of cardio twice daily for 1 year and dropped my weight to a certain point. But it wasn't until I changed my eating habits that people started asking how I got in shape like that. And it took only about 4 months to make the change apparent. Quitting milk and milk products like cheese, getting rid of any added oil and eating fruits and greens before the main meal, plus switching to rice / whole grain pasta and beans cooked in a veggie broth as my main calorie source - that's what made the big difference.

[@WellYourWorld]

Beautiful

[@jesseenixon]

u say added oils which is in EVERYTHING but did you still use organic oil I think your body still needs oils for joints and the brain so I wouldnt eliminate all but I dont like the added oils in all of our foods

[@Apollo440]

​@@jesseenixon added oils is in almost everything but products labeled "oil free" or, most importantly, the things you cook from scratch. Which is actually pretty hard for most people, having little experience in the kitchen and buying the ready made stuff. This leads to the need to simplify your home meals as much as you can, clean your home environment of any produce with oil. And yes, our body needs oils but it gets the required amount from any food. Keep in mind that simple dry groats or oats, have 18% calories from fat (oil) without anything added, they grow with that amount in nature. If you're really worried about your fat intake - eat a handful of dried (not roasted) nuts a day, they are at least 50% fat.

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

I have two friends who make tabouli - - one Lebanese, and one Syrian. Both drench their salad in olive oil. It's tasty, but UGH !!! Here's what I do: high-speed blend some ripe green olives (NOT Manzanillas) and some hemp seed into the citrus (lemon or lime) and garlic that I use for the dressing. It gives the olive flavor and the mouth-fat feel, without added oil !!! Delicious !!!!!

[@danahellinger7239]

Great video! I am currently in an ongoing battle with my husband who says “you have to sauté in oil or it doesn’t taste right and your food sticks to the pan”. I say you can water sauté and keep things healthy with less calories. Just because you can’t see a ton of oil in the finished product doesn’t mean it’s not there!! The battle continues…

[@Artomya]

[@HeatherQ333]

Yep. I just started the process of taking out oils about a couple of months ago. I always go back and forth for a while before permanently making a change like this, so I will have some things now and again but I know it will eventually become my new norm to eat no oil or anything like that. I don’t care so much about gaining weight from it, but I do feel so INCREDIBLY better when I don’t eat any of it. Like, not to be TMI but my periods have been sooooo much better too. No more pain! And my circulation is 1 million times better. After not eating oils for a few weeks the first time I noticed how much more feeling I had in my legs. A lot more! Everything just started to feel a lot more alive! The benefits were really surprising the first time because I just hadn’t read up on it or thought about it much and just did it out of curiosity. I knew after experiencing the benefits and how much healthier and vibrant I felt when not consuming oil, that it was, in fact, a major hinderance on my health.

[@silversprout8974]

I've been living with IBS and SIBO for I don't know how long, 7 years? I've been told "healthy" oils and fats are great for your health and my condition by gastrointestinal doctors I've gone to. Been wanting to cut it all out for a while now and finally did after watching your video a few days ago. All of my symptoms have gone away for both IBS and SIBO. All of the plant foods are digesting again, thank God! Such a simple fix. Thank you ❤️

[@allsquaredup9717]

Switching to a whole food plant-based diet and giving up cooking with olive oil is a real brain switch! It seems every single recipe starts with “sauté one chopped onion in 4 trillion gallons of oil.” (OK, maybe just three trillion.) It’s so hard to give it up! But once you do you realize you can eat more of the healthy food you just cooked because it’s not swimming in fat, and then you get more nutrients and you’re healthier and you realize the oil was not doing you any favors. I just ignore the first part of those recipes and use water or broth.

[@jefferyhaws7565]

After we started our whole food plant based plan, eliminating oil was easy. It was truly eye opening to see how easy it was to cook with water or low salt veggie broth and no oil at all. What was even more fun was not having to clean up all the grease in our kitchen!

[@potridge]

I never realized how gross cooking with and cleaning up oil was till I bought myself my own dedicated cookware but still had to clean the pans that the rest of my family used.

I was born with a bicuspid heart valve and now have aortic stenosis, my doctor says I was just born with it, there's no solution other than monitoring it until the need for valve replacement surgery. I have a year until my next MRI and I'm really excited to see if this way of eating will at minimum halt the progression, but ultimately the hope is reversal. Who knows. I am waiting on both Dr. Ornish's book and Dr. Essylstyn's book. Your channel has already been so helpful! love it.

I LOVE what you two are promoting, thank you so much! This has helped me feel so much better in just the 2 weeks that I've stopped eating olive and all processed oil. I've been eating all vegan and only garden foods since APR 2021 as I'm in the process of reversing a bad diagnosis from the doc, but didn't know that drenching my veggies in olive oil was possibly keeping me sick. Since stopping the olive oil and ALL processed oils in the past 2 weeks, I have lost another 10 lbs (already lost 40) with only 10 more lbs to get to my ideal weight. However, I DO rebound on my mini tramp every day and go for walks in the sunlight, (live in Arizona), drink plenty of water and get proper rest, eliminating as much stress as possible and learning to just process it better. But doing ALL of that without eliminating the processed oils still left me wondering why my cholesterol was still high! I take no meds at all as I refused them all. I'm wondering if the EVOO was the culprit to the cholesterol issue. We will see. They said my calcium was too high too, maybe juicing too many greens with calcium? Before anyone says a word about juicing, I also blend my greens into smoothies as well. No sweeties in my smoothies other than an OCCASIONAL frozen banana IF I want something sweet. Anyway any thoughts would be much appreciated, and yes, I know you & Reebs are not medical professionals, I get that. But your thoughts would be greatly respected. Thanks! :)

Great explanation of the reasons to eliminate oil. So eloquent. Love your hair, Reebs... (Yes, yours too, Dillon.) As you said, it's so pleasant to cook without oil, and have less clean up along with the health benefits, and amazing to read labels of processed foods in the grocery store... Everything has oil in it! It does mean doing a little more cooking, but planning ahead really helps. I like making extra and putting some away for another time. Most things freeze pretty well, and it's nice to have a ready made meal from time to time. Thanks for the great video. xo

I stopped using oil over twenty years ago. A couple years back, we had a Thanksgiving gathering at my mom's house. Yes, there was turkey, but everything else was plant based, no added oil. No one noticed the lack of added fat. It was so strange, though, to handle her pans, dishes and utensils, and feel a slick of oil on everything!

Oil got no place in anyone’s kitchen. Coconut oil is awesome in your hair before washing & to remove excess wax post waxing. Olive oil is awesome for massage and as moisturizer😂😂😂😂. That’s why i keep a bottle of each in my bathroom, not my kitchen.

[@EllenSmyth]

On oil being disgusting: it smells and feels disgusting, too! When cooking with oil, dirty dishes are far dirtier and nastier, with smells that are so bad and feeling so oily. Now, when I rinse dishes before the dishwasher, they smell and feel almost clean. I feel like that's my insides, too: so much cleaner and less bad bacteria.

I am 100% Plant Based into my eighth year I eat no fast food and stay away completely from highly processed foods I do however use and will continue to use organic cold pressed extra virgin olive oil which is the only oil we use at home. I am Italian and have consumed it all my life and love the taste and smell of it. In the parts of Sardinia Italy and Ikaria Greece where you find some of the healthiest and longest lived people on the planet olive oil is a staple. I am not saying olive oil is the reason for their good health but it doesn’t seem to affect them negatively. I think the main reason they are healthy is because they eat small amounts of animal products with most of their diet being plants and they do not eat fast food and processed food like many do in North America including some Vegans.

All depends on how much. If you can find a level of moderation that works for you then you are unique. Most humans cannot and should entirely avoid animal products and processed oils.
