I Lost 100 Pounds With These Vegan Foods

[@borderalp]

I admit, I'm unhealthy vegan. I do struggle lately because I want to change my diet. Thank god I found you. 🙃 I love your channel...you're such an inspiration. 💚

[@mikeneron]

I buy my steel cut oats in 50 lb bags :) Try blending dates and water and then using that to cook steel cut oats in the Instant Pot (5 mins high pressure with natural release). Then add ground flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and some fruit. Have this every morning and it's so satisfying.

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

We make our oats in a very similar way! It's a really great way to start the morning.

[@tootstoyou1]

I love oats like that too .... But for me it DESSERT or my evening snack

[@johnmagee810]

Gabriel, this is wonderful advice from somebody who has walked the walk. 2LB weight loss per week is optimal for most people. On the diet you describe hunger is not an issue. Your gut micro-biome will flourish and the weight loss will be accompanied by huge improvement in all around health. You are a rock of sense amidst the gale of fad diets. Brilliant job.

[@ericaz1994]

You're amazing! Thank you Gabriel!! I've done a lot of research from a lot of great sources and I have not found anywhere, something that aligns more or makes more common sense than this method/approach. First time ever I've even felt compelled to write a comment on youtube. I am going to try this out with full commitment. I have 32 days until my wedding- will let you guys know how it goes!

[@aBatwoman]

Thank you. I was vegetarian here and there I've had enough meat. I want a garden in my stomach. This helped with some ideas.

[@tootstoyou1]

Batwoman I love that turn of phrase, “ a garden in my stomach .” Very poetic! 😍 And in reality, SO MUCH better than a belly full of putrid animal flesh! 🤢

[@savedbygrace1582]

I agree on the Instant Pot. It is a must have for me. I make double I need and freeze half of it for later use.

[@karahamil3657]

Bananas don't need to be organic but spinach should be, all green leafy should be....really like your channel!!! TFS.

Thank you so much Kara!

[@aBatwoman]

Organic bananas are so amazing.

[@shannonscheffel7366]

What about peanut flour...is organic better?

I saved this vid to watch tomorrow. I have been vegetarian for years, but still need to lose about 60 pounds. I'm so hungry all of the time!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

I hope this helps! These are the foods that I have eaten until full and lost 100 pounds.

[@tsjitskekok-zondervan9680]

Maybe it helps if you also loose the cheese and dairy ? And watch the oils like a hawk. If you sauté your onions in a little bit of water instead of oil, it helps. If you use a dressing on your salads that is oilfree it helps. And for weightloss: use nuts only in tiny amounts to sprinkle on foods instead of as snacks. Keyword: caloric density. For example Oil, nuts and avocados are very calorie dense. Avoid those if you want to loose weight. They don't fill your stomach, but they do provide lots of calories, so you are likely to overeat (I learned from Dr Neil Barnard). Don't loose heart. You will get there. All the best.

[@littlebird4073]

Thanks for making this video. 🙂 I've been low carb most of my adult life so I'm like a fish out of water with this way of life. This can be overwhelming. Thanks for keeping it simple.

Cheering you on! :)

[@GagnonGaming88]

How much do you weigh now? I was 325 and now 230. Want to hit 180

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Hey Matt, I am right around 155-160.

[@ginarobinson6921]

What were you eating Matt? That’s impressive

[@debbiesullivan7269]

Thanks, your video just made my shopping easier!!

[@Icipher4]

I need to lose 100 lbs. I used to be lean but gained a lot of weight over the last decade(110 lbs). Eating vegan, the way you do, how much of your success came down to portion control/calorie restriction? I am just not willing to track every calorie I eat.

[@raelouise9613]

Wow! What a great, healthy transformation. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Thank you so much Reagan!

[@Pink_cupcake1700]

Thank you 😊

[@noelyacollon1116]

Do you eat brown rice or white rice ? Or do you switch it up ? Thanks Gabriel !

[@23dlmb]

Are you still eating the same diet? I need some help. Love the videos thank you

[@hebrewboy3126]

Can you eat white rice

[@johncrwarner]

No potatoes? I do like potatoes and here in Germany sweet potatoes are a bit variable in availability but we have lots of types of potatoes and one local organic store even had a Kartoffelfest (Potato Festival) recently - I do have an electronic pressure cooker and do cook a lot of brown rice and beans in that - and have a weekly bean that I keep in the fridge too for throwing in a salad. Interestingly celery stalks are not a big thing here and I tend to use celery stalks as a basis for stocks and soups because the quality isn't that good but celery does add a good taste to the soup / stock.

good job sir

[@ravencrowe9797]

Great video! Are canned beans a good substitute for dry beans? Also, do you rinse your dry beans/canned beans, rice before cooking them? Keep up the awesome videos!

[@Frugal_fitchic]

Yes, you can use canned beans. It’s just cheaper to buy beans dry and then make them yourself.

[@wadetanner8976]

Sweet potatoes and beans are awful gassy for me. Any tricks for cutting it down?

[@melindaramon7926]

You should do an instant pot cooking class!!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

I will see what I can do :)

[@craighyatt7289]

Great videos!! I noticed you never mentioned any fruits, besides bananas. what about apples, oranges, raisins for your oatmeal, etc. are you not eating fruits bc of too much sugar?? same with breads and pasta? keep up the great work.

right around 2 years

[@cyndicammalleri4191]

I always found with my body eating a lot of carbs will make me gain weight. My Dr advised me to go on a plant based diet and really love your videos but I'm concerned about eating a lot of carbs. I have at least 100 lbs to lose!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

We do not eat much bread or pasta in hour house (1-2x per week). We mostly eat rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, quinoa, corn, beans, etc.

[@beautyforashes123]

Quick question: During your weight loss phase, did you eat salads twice a day, in addition to other lunch and dinner meals? If so, what kind of lunches and dinners did you eat during this time, following the salads?

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

I did eat the salads twice a day. I would eat them first and then move onto the main dish that was starch based. That would be rice and beans with hot sauce or salsa, split pea soup, veggie stir fry with rice, quinoa. Pretty much all of the recipes on my channel or my website are ones that I ate while I was losing the weight.

[@beautyforashes123]

@@PlantBasedGabriel Did you eat the Nice Ice Creams and the smoothies, too? I am thankful to have found your site. I'm a newbie and I like your simplicity. I'm a busy homeschooling mom, managing 2 Airbnb's, and I'm a 2 year breast cancer survivor. So, my busy, busy life appreciates your videos amd simple approach as I desperately try to lose the weight I gained on bc meds and become healthier inside. 😊 Thank you!!

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Yes I did. I always make sure that my smoothies are low fat and full of fruits and vegetables, that way they can be a great meal idea for weight loss.

What is your opinion on fat free refried beans in a can ? They are very cheap and go well on a ton of stuff but wondering if you ate them during your weight loss ?

you definitely can :)

[@GagnonGaming88]

Also how much of a calorie deficit were you at when losing weight

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

I didn't really focus on my calorie intake, I was more focussed on eating high fiber/ low calorie whole plant foods.

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

Can u tell me how much potatoes and beans u had to be able to lose weight? I find if I eat more than a cup each, I dont lose. I eat salads as u recommended daily, and barely have nuts or nut butters. TIA By the way loving ur videos and have used u bean ratio tip and 3tbs nut ratio for milks and both work really well. This reminds me t ask u if u had nut milks while losing weight. TIA

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

Hey Aneesa! I never really ate a specified amount. I would start my lunch or dinner with a salad and then eat enough starches to get me full. Maybe 2 sweet potatoes or a couple cups of rice with a cup of beans.

What is your grocery bill roughly a week (to just feed you)?

[@PlantBasedGabriel]

It depends on what time of year it is and what I'm currently preferring to eat. But for 1 person I say a few hundred dollars maybe more if you are buying organic or specialty items.

[@m1cajah]

Hey BoBo BoBo, for those of us who can really only afford a "Walmart priced diet" I can honestly tell you I spend about $60 every TWO WEEKS or so, and that is just for me alone, because my wife refuses to eat this way. My most costly items are tofu and fruits and you don't HAVE to eat those if you don't like them obviously. My prices are higher when I tack on things like rice or flax milk or I need to add in canned veggies (for simplicity) or things like jarred or bottled sauces. The more "prepared" the food is, the more expensive it becomes. For example, a bag of no oil fries is around $3 and equates to about 4-5 potatoes, but I can buy 10 lbs of potatoes for ~$5 and just make my own.

[@SomeStuff9]

Bro how long have you been eating this way and how long did it take to lose the weight? Also, the link to your facebook page in the description is not going to your facebook page.

Thank you for letting me know! I just got it fixed. And it took me around 2 years to lose all of the weight.

[@susanyoung2503]

Gabriel, thank you so much for making these great videos and sharing your journey. Please give me some tips. I am 67 yrs old and I know that makes a difference but I have been eating WFPB for a month and I just bounce back and forth between 3-4 lbs. I lost 70 + lbs on KETO then had a family tragedy and I ate my grief and gained 20 lbs. I just want to lose that 20 and I know that KETO is not a long term healthy lifestyle. I believe that WFPB WOE is the answer but I am discouraged. Can you give me some suggestions please? I try to stop eating at 6pm so I'm doing some intermittent fasting. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks again!

I noticed you buy organic bananas - not necessary, because there is no way that bananas can be GMO or anything else that’s unhealthy, but what I don’t understand is why you buy Quaker Oats, because they are a non organic, GMO product, and genetically modified products can wreck your health. Do your research. I hope you will invest in ORGANIC rolled oats from now on, because what good does it do to lose all that weight and still be unhealthy?
