Eat To Live Helped My Husband Defy the Odds

[@sharonlugone5955]

What you did for your husband and children is heroic! I admire you so much! I'm 75 and am now WFPB and loving it. I watch your recipe videos all the time! ❤

[@cindychurch925]

I love your videos. So glad that I found this video. I am so glad your husband recovered.

[@hidden909]

Just found you today! I’m looking forward to seeing all your videos. A year ago my husband was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease and went through cardiac bypass surgery and carotid artery surgery. We had been plant based for about 10 years, but we now really got serious with low salt, fat and sugar. He is 70 now and doing better. Your husband is lucky you figured this out much younger, he will avoid much distress when he gets our age.

God bless you and your family. Your videos are just what I need to get motivated this year.

[@plantwhys]

Yay! I’m so glad they are helpful. 🥰

I'm so glad I watched this. I bought his book and enjoyed it. I've been thinking I should get more fruit and vegetables into my diet anyway and this gives my the motivation to ramp it up. Thanks!

Eat to Live is an amazing Book !!!

Thank you for sharing your story and converting to a plant-based, oil-free diet. I hope your husband is doing well. Six months ago, I had a heart attack and a stroke and had carotid artery surgery, I was lucky that I had no damage except for a little weakness on my left side. . About four months ago.I switched to a plant-based diet based on Dr. C. B. Esselstyn's recommendations. I have watched many of your videos and made many of your recipes. My last blood test for lipids was very good since switching to a plant-based diet, and I am going to continue with this way of eating for the rest of my life. Thank you again and keep up great work you do passing on the messgage. I wish I had done this when I was lot younger but it is never too late!

Thank you for sharing your “why.” I love your channel! ❤❤❤

[@chriswyatt7487]

I love your content! I went WFPB a few years ago after having a minor heart attack. Unfortunately, I slightly “fell off the wagon” during the lockdown, but your video serves a reminder to me of how wonderful a plant based diet truly is for improved health and happiness. You’ve inspired me to try again. Thank you. Hoping your husband is doing well. I can see he has amazing support.

I know this was a year ago, but I suffered 2 strokes, the first in the left frontal lobe and the second in the occipital lobe. Then I ended up with what is now called alpha-gal, which basically made me allergic to animal products, but nobody recognized it for what it was and I nearly died. Then my husband and I watched Forks Over Knives and we went plant based the next day. Guess what happened? I started to get better! It's been a long road, and I'm still working on some things. So I watch your channel for inspiration and information, and besides, I like your family life! Thanks for being there!

That salad looks sooo good! I've gone off trail lately with eating healthy, but you've inspired me to get back at it, so thank you! I'm not a fan of meal prep, but I definitely want to try making that salad - I would happily eat that for dinner every day! So glad I found this channel! :)

[@crystalmichelle6053]

This is one of the most helpful videos. Thank you!

[@susannewlove2115]

Thank you and wishing your husband continued good health. Your can do attitude is inspiring.

[@SpringFlowers537]

Hi, I would love it if you did a video specifically on your salad prep:) What is ok to chop and what isn't and how they store best:)

[@plantwhys]

Great idea!

[@anneharris3475]

I love those snack yard shiitake mushrooms and the last time I bought them they had uped their game. They were now organic and down to just a half a gram of fat per serving so I now can load up with no guilt :)

[@michellemills7825]

I just found your channel. Love it! Subscribed ❤

[@Dollarstoredolly2023]

I'm going to make those truffles! ❤

[@plantwhys]

They are yummy!

[@kendra9894]

Thank you for sharing. I'll have to check out those books and start taking steps to prevent. Pre diabetes and overweight. Feel like I need a coach and home chef for 30 days!

[@plantwhys]

I have a program that can help! Here is a free trial of my membership. I created it because this is the support I wish I had after my husband’s stroke. Here is a free month trial: www.plantwhys.com/offers/jYZNxfAq/checkout

Thank you👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@rebekahpettey4040]

I made both the smoothie and the salad, my husband loved the smoothie and we both absolutely loved the salad. The second day eating the salad, I had to make a different dressing because my tongue felt like I had eaten too much pineapple. 😂 Not sure why, because I have no problem eating frozen pineapple in smoothies. 🤷‍♀️

[@plantwhys]

Oh that is funny! Darn Pineapple!

[@jradshores]

For sure gonna try these recipes.

[@plantwhys]

Please do!

[@phillipsmom6252]

What about dinner?

[@nataliemorrow500]

Looks yummy! What was in the dressing? Just pineapple and orange juice? It almost looked like there was tahini in there but didn’t see you put that in..

[@plantwhys]

Here is the full recipe for the pineapple dressing: (the video missed a couple ingredients) 1/4 cup raw almonds 2 oranges, juices 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 6 large chunks of fresh pineapple.

[@carolhenry1170]

Could one make the salad in a large container with all the ingredients except maybe for ones that are too wet and add to bowl each day? Or will the salad become too soggy? Brand new to your channel and also to plant based way of life ❤

[@Amelia-qm6bk]

I ensure all salad ingredients are dry and add some together depending on if they let more liquid out. Those that do like tomatoes i store separately. I also add some paper towels to the veggies to soak any condensation. They can last up to a week.

[@plantwhys]

Yes you definitely can. Just keep the wet ingredients separate!

[@plantwhys]

You are a pro!@@Amelia-qm6bk
