We often get asked why it's important to avoid oil. The short and simple answer is that it's a 100% refined fat that's been stripped of its fiber, water, and other constituents, making it less nutritious, AND the most calorically dense food on the planet. Why not opt for whole food sources of healthy fats instead? Avocados, nuts, and seeds get the job done, and they come with additional benefits besides just healthy fat content. Now that the why is out of the way, check out our video to see simple oil-free swaps and methods for cooking, baking and beyond!

No hate towards anyone who uses oil, but this has helped me feel my best, hope it helps!

[@crystalrendon4210]

Agreed! I had to stop eating oil because it messed up my stomach👎

[@dreamingoftacos4388]

I occasionally cook with olive oil but I bought an air fryer and made sweet potato wedges with just one tablespoon oil. Seasoning and I made a cheezy cashew Alfredo sauce in my food processor to dip them in. Yummmm!!!

[@Rose-kf7cr]

I too follow Satvic lifestyle and food habits which does not require oil at all , instead it includes all sorts of nuts, seeds and whole foods with minimal cooking. It makes me feel so good, active and energetic too :)

[@Marie-yx5ie]

Thank you, great information 👍😉🇮🇪🍀

[@yosoylily.]

Good 4 you 🎉

[@sarahlouiselast]

This is so true, I do eat quite a bit of olive oil when I cook tomato based dishes but cutting out 80% of it really has made such a difference to my gut health

[@SianYu1]

This is what I struggle with getting across to other people the most, also struggle myself to find dishes I can make oil free that still cook well and taste good. This information is much needed! 🙌🏽

[@lynnwalker]

I cut oil out a few months ago and it was a lot easier than I thought and I really don't miss it. I like to use veggie broth or water to saute and parchment paper has been awesome for baking. I'm hungry for your Mom's potato chips, they look so good! Have a great weekend!

[@localgirlontheloop7556]

Thanks for the info! I never thought about sautéing veggies with water until seeing y'all do it. Learning so much!!

[@jessicaschneider2565]

This is really great info. I stopped cooking with oils long ago but it’s thought provoking to hear ways and reasons to not eat oils in dressings, hummus, and dips. Thank you! I am going to start looking out for my oil intake 🙂 I have been loving your channel. I also have 2 young kids and it’s nice to see someone else doing life this way!

[@jasminm8784]

This is so helpful, thank you. We are currently starting to cut out sugar and processed foods and oil is up next. This is such great advice and practical tips, can't wait to start implementing it. Your channel is amazing!

[@verenamartini8695]

As soon as we understand how to do, it becomes simple and delicious ! Love your cute family !!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Thanks for sharing this informative video Erin & Dustin because I want to avoid oils because it is causing skin issues and I find when I consume oils I am more likely to be sick 😰. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 the Stanczyks.

[@erinstanczyk7786]

Glad you appreciated this video!

[@ameliebrisebois5931]

I love these types of videos! Gives tons of tricks and advices. Without a gallbladder, I need to keep a bit of oil in my diet otherwise my digestion will painfully block but I do minimize it to just what I need.

[@happyc3789]

Awesome job explaining why we should all be oil free in the kitchen. I appreciate you guys for jumping right into the video and skipping the unnecessary fluff. ❤💚🥦

[@patty5266]

I’m currently eating more raw foods. I will say I feel good. Better than I do when I eat cooked, vegan food. Mimi Kirk uses a little oil sometimes and she’s an 83 year-old raw vegan. Don’t think I could give oil up entirely. I do like my tofu cooked in a bit of oil.

[@reneepelletier3021]

You guys are the best! Thanks💓 Eating the whole food is so much tastier than oil anyway, agree with everything here! xo

Not sure you’ll see my comment, but any tips for how long to steam tofu and how to season it when steaming? I’ve been super interested to learn!

[@janamiller2679]

A good tip that I do for a non stick stainless steel frypan is to heat it on low for ten to twenty minutes before hand. Because stainless steel has layers that you need to get the heat through.

[@EatMoveRest]

Great tip!! Thank you!

[@kathyschwiesow6268]

Enjoyed the video. Great tips. Thanks 😊

[@anyeli02]

I love the content of this video. Thank you for educating me on better sources to obtain fats. I don't cook with oil but it is difficult to explain to my loved ones that it's better to omit oil from our food. The response I get is usually that "olive oil is good for you'.

[@panes840]

That's because itvis good for you. Thec science is there.

[@yosoylily.]

Thank you so much for sharing 🎉

[@bonnybaldridge7432]

Any oil makes my cholesterol go up. I started allowing myself olive oil this year and my triglycerides doubled! I’m gonna have to cut it out again.

[@magdanieniewska2687]

Great! Thanks for answering my question😘

[@nathaliecooman8272]

Great video 🤩 but I tried the starch solution, also no go with oil and fat. But I notice that I was down, have no energy and I feel tired . When I took some nuts and 🥑 I feel so much better

[@sarahdietz4]

I feel like the evidence is divided but definitely leans more towards the fact that veg oils are healthy. I get the thing about the calories - that’s the reason I like to cook without oil, too - but not sure about the health aspects.

[@panes840]

Agreed, the no oil unsaturated oil thing got debunked. But obviously it will cause weight gain.

[@kimargall9069]

Great Video ! This has inspired me to cut that last bit of oil we use . I know oils are my acid reflux trigger , unfortunately Avocado sets it off too 🤦‍♀️ love greens with Avo 😔hoping to be able to go back to it after cutting other oils 🤞

[@GreensLady]

All great information!!

[@erinstanczyk7786]

Thank you!

[@JessicaMillerNashville]

It’s so true! People are so into eating fat and protein these days but we are forgetting about Whole Foods like that! For me personally I gain weight when I eat too many fat grams.

[@tahim30]

Excellent video thank you so much

[@krisvaughan1531]

Great video. Thank you.

[@emmabarry5010]

Another fantastic video thanks Erin & Dusty

[@cristinafustini6217]

Born and raised in a Mediterranean country, cold pressed extravirgin olive oil has always been part of my diet. Never exceeded in the amount used, a teaspoon is enough to dress my salad and it helps to absorb vitamin E and all the other fat-soluble micronutrients. It is extremely expensive to buy avocados here, even if there is a tiny amount coming from the southern part of my country. I prefer to stick to produce that belongs to our food tradition, and that has a lower impact on environment, because when I think that an avocado on my table has to fly all over the world to reach my plate, I feel I am not doing the right thing to preserve this planet. I do not critique your choice, max respect, but I prefer when you and all the other influencers suggest awareness on foods rather than invite to 'demonize', or show items, gadgets, and ingredients that could not be that affordable everywhere. Take care guys and keep on smiling !

[@michaelaturkova1978]

You are absolutely right! Viva l'Italia e le sue eccellenze gastronomiche! :-)

[@panes840]

I agree with you. Olives and olive oil are 14% saturated fat and so are cashew nuts. In fact I think those nutzzare 16% saturated fat. When cold extracted the nutrients are not all lost. I use a tiny amount for the same reasons and use water if I need to. The unsaturated fats actually help the heart. The science is there. The only problem is weight gain. So use sparingly

[@aureliaglenn2220]

I understand your choice, although I don't cook with oil. You seem to be reasonable, because many of the people encouraging others to use olive oil ("because it's healthy") are encouraging the use of much more than a teaspoon per serving.

[@cristinafustini6217]

@@aureliaglenn2220 any dressing or seasoning must not cover the flavour of any element of a dish. Seasonings and dressings have to exalt the main ingredient of a dish.

[@thejessicagoodenough]

Thank you for the great video as usual! 😊 My question is: why is tahini generally considered okay when oils aren't? I love tahini but my understanding is that it's mostly fat. 🤔

[@EatMoveRest]

Tahini is the same as any nut or seed butter-it’s the whole sesame seed ground up.

[@thejessicagoodenough]

Thank you!! 😊

[@susanboddy8912]

I love this video! I wondered about the idea of going no oil, and this video has really helped cover a lot of my questions. Erin, you mentioned you took a raw culinary course, it was, no doubt, very helpful, what was the name of it ?

[@daphnesawyer8555]

Your right oily food brings back the same icky indigestion feeling that animal products give

I loved this video. Just one question… how do you make the sweet potato chips and fries? Thanks Erin and Dusty!

[@traceydulian3056]

100% Dusty! Oil gives me bile and acid reflux too. I cook with water, lemon, lime or orange juice. I love my ceramic pans!! Love my air fryer!!

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Really great recipe you have here! I love that it is vegan. I cook all plant based meals so I’m always looking for more recipes like this. I make cooking videos too. I’d love to learn more from each other! Have a great day! 👍👍

Great video and one worth repeating regularly. My only query is that I heard Dr. Gregor say not to cook Tofu in the air fryer? I was going to buy one to cook tofu so as not to have to turn on the oven but didn't once I heard his advice. Have you heard to the contrary?

As a nutritional counselor I believe fats can be healthy if they are the right kind, even essential for the body. Hemp, Pure Virgin Olive Oil, Flax and Coconut Oil are all great and have anti Inflammatory aspects. In small amounts they have a place in our diets. Of course I totally respect your eating habits and think your channel is wonderful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

[@patiencehensley5685]

Does the air fryer listed on your Amazon have Teflon? Or what air fryer do you recommend for Teflon free?

[@janjentz1053]

Great examples of cooking without oil. What do you use on your waffle iron when you make your protein waffles to keep them from sticking? also pancakes? Thanks.

[@RJHW13]

From her other videos I think she does use a little coconut oil for her skillet but only for the pan and not for direct consumption.

[@starlightgirl1695]

I stopped cooking with oils about 80%. Just recently got an airfryer which should get me to 100%! Fat in general, like protein, is over rated. We just need small amounts and I'd rather spend my fat calories on more nutritious and tasty foods like nuts, seeds, avocado and coconut yogurt. Great video!

[@EatMoveRest]

Amen to that!!

[@cynthiabowen7092]

[@carolynlapota5495]

I am so happy you did this very thorough video of why we don’t eat oil and how to cook without. 2 days I met two ladies at the gym who said they were eating plant based. I asked if they ate oil free and they looked at me like I was crazy. They each said they eat olive oil . I told them the downfalls and they have never heard of such just that it is essential. I told them to look up Dr Gregor who they have never heard of. I think some people here of just eat plants a d probably the meat replacements that have lots of fat, and they don’t learn all the benefits, etc. if I see them again, I will direct them to this video. Thanks for all the good you do by sharing your knowledge.
