Anita Turner....I got turned on to " The starch solution" recently and have decided to get off meat and dairy. My only problem is that the author is adamant about totally eliminating fats, even plant based. So, my question to you is" Did you eliminate or greatly reduce fats?

[@RiDankulous]

3 years ago I went whole food-plant based to lower my LDL, which indicates heart attack risk. It went from 120 MG/DL, elevated risk of heart attack (100 is cutoff), to 65, in the ideal range and virtually heart attack proof. Mission accomplished in just weeks. I lowered my blood pressure and resting heart rate enough to come off the beta blocker. Now, bp is 120/80 last I checked and heart rate is 71. Previously before I was on beta blockers and on standard american diet, it was like 160/100 and heart rate was over 100. Very bad. Weight is a solid, healthy 150, dropping from 193. It was as low as 135 but I ate too much bread. I am very, very happy with these results. I feel good. I go up 2 flights of stairs and don't breath heavy. I sweat far less quickly on hot days. I'm not in great shape; a little better than sedentary I would say. Very happy!

I saw a link on a KZbin channel called, Earthlings and thought it was about ET's , man did I get a rude awakening and became instant vegan. That was 1 1/2 years ago. Whole food plant based is the way to go. Brain fog and many other physical problems including weight loss (70 lbs) went away within about 6 months.Initially I had bloating from a sudden bean intake into my diet, but that went away within a month. The body starts detoxing and it can be quite uncomfortable for a while, but so worth the discomfort as the poisons are leaving. Thank you for this educational video.

So many recipes and alternative that there is no need. My sister told me there was one thing that has been perfected by vegans, ground beef. It is one thing that my sister found hard to replace. I take that as a challenge to see if I could master the art of taking ground tofu to create the perfect plant-based ground beef. It is hard, but I was so close to get my sis' approval. If she thumbs up it than I had mastered it. 🥰Plant based does that, makes you challenge your inner chief to perfect the art of meat alternative. Don't see it as a hindrance but as a challenge to to be a master chief. I love it when meat-eaters eat my food and go "Damn! This is really good! What is in it?" When I tell them, they go 😱"No way!" Herbs, spices and plant seasons is the trick. That in itself is Artistic Science.

I agree that there are congenital conditions, and sometimes people get sick who eat vegan diets, but I believe for the most part, vegans are much healthier. A vegan diet is less inflammatory. Furthermore, a vegan diet is good for the environment, and the animals. I hope more doctors support veganism, and understand why they need to. Got inflammation, go vegan!

That is absolutely true. My wife about 10 years ago was diagnosed arthritis and she went and see specialist. During the visit she asked if she needed a change of diet and the doctor said that food won't change the situation except losing weight. And of course she started taking medicines with periodic liver tests to see if she was damaging her liver with those meds. Now after 5 years vegan she is off arthritis and asthma meds. That specialist knew only how to push pain management meds.

I've been on vegetarian diet for 10 years now and I gotta say it was the best I had ever done. Currently, focusing more on vegan and noticed a huge change on how my body functions. I spoken to my sister and her friend, "I saw great positive changes as a vegetarian, can you imagine if I went vegan." So went vegan due to seeing connections on energy level and how the body works. I have hypothyroidism issues, including bradycardia (low blood pressure) and hypoglycemia (low sugar levels). I was always so tired and low energy. Veganism gave me energy and must needed focus I had lost before. Now I could think and do multiple things (five to six things) while before it was just two to three things. The results speaks louder than what arrogant, ignorant people could possibly say or do. If the side effects spreads to saving the Earth and other life forms that is a good thing too, but the top of my list was avoiding hypothyroid meds. Fuck the pharma.

Whole Foods Plant Based Nutrition Has Saved My Life! Reversing Lyme Diseases Damages

[@SeanGoresht]

I imagine a lot of people are also discovering plant-based from "What the Health". I'm on day 3 of my switch to plant-based from a mostly meat-based diet, and I don't feel too well. I feel empty, and my body often aches. I wonder if it's the withdrawal from the lack of the opoid-like BHTs included in mlik products I normally consume, or if it's the sudden change from a high-fat diet to a low-fat, high-carb diet. Either way, I intend to stick with this for the 2 weeks. It felt weird spending most of my time in the produce section of the grocery store. But vegan mayonnaise tastes even better than the alternative. And this data is so compelling.

Fascinating interviews, well produced! I used to have angina with my morning sigaret as an -ovo-lacto vegetarian, I always though it was the tobacco, but this went away after going plant-based while I still smoked within a month. I have since also quit smoking tobacco...

[@clarebirschel4100]

Eelke Aptroot Hey congrats to changing your diet, FYI the smoking contributed to the angina too. The gases produced in cigarettes "knock out" the oxygen molecules in your blood cells - causing shortness of breath. The chemicals also makes the blood thicker and sluggish, and encourages fatty deposits that are in the blood stream (from your diet) to stick to the artery walls. This builds up over time, causing the vessels to narrow, slowing the flow of blood therefore oxygen through to the heart - causing the angina. So, if you smoke AND have a bad diet, it's double trouble (I am a nurse, btw). So, well done on stopping smoking. And now you are on the correct diet, your body can start to heal 😊😊😊

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

Yes, I think I had some blockages, also nicotine causes vessels to narrow almost instantly I've heard. Never had trouble breathing though, but I would have this cronic dry cough, which went away almost instantly after ditching the tobaccco.

[@clarebirschel4100]

Eelke Aptroot Yes that's exactly correct. The dry cough is the chemicals irritating your airways, also the cigarettes also burn off the tiny hairs in your air passages, allowing dust/irritants to get in so you have no barrier to keeping this stuff out and can cause the cough. You are on the right path so be proud. Funny, I've never smoked but now look at meat like an ex-smoker- I can't believe I ever ate it 😊

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

Yes, I have the same thing. And though I ate lots of meat and smoked tonnes of tobacco in the past, in both cases the mere smell of either makes me nauseous now, to the point that I loose my appitite...

[@clarebirschel4100]

Eelke Aptroot know what you mean... The first time I went to the supermarket after going vegan I had to walk past the meat isle. All I saw was chopped up pieces of dead animal, I then started crying and felt sick...I had to leave the store... I just block it out now (difficult as the fruit & veg is usually next to it!!!)

[@samuelbirch6817]

A lot people keep saying this is veganism, it's not. This diet does not promote absolute abstinence from meat and dairy. You can still eat these things, but you should minimize consumption. Though hopefully you would want to reach a point where you would not want too.

This is a very useful and inspiring video I put in my diet and health playlist. It's possible to switch slowly and I followed the general dietary advice of eating no sugar (Lustig) although I didn't buy into the low carb deal. Then, with Mcdougall I discovered starches and did the complete switch. I frankly think the biggest difficulty for me was getting rid of diet soda. I drank it into my whole food-plant based diet, and that's technically a banned item. It was very difficult but with care, I pulled it off. Another thing is the signs at the fast food places. At first I avoided driving by them. I think the temptation when entirely away after over a year. However, it got less and less, and I never did eat at one of them. I buy coffee sometimes.

my partner cured a stage 3 pre cancer in 8 weeks and one day exactly. They had to call a multidisciplinary hearing to try to work out what could have happened in those 8 weeks. When we told them about the diet this fell completely short and they did not hear this has a possible explanation. Now we are 2 years WFPB. When we started we felt really better and anthousiastic about it. We feel even bettter now but.. Now we know organised human life as we know it has no future on this planet because of the level of emissions and all, so not so happy any more.

Also, for medical professionals please check out the American College of Lifestyle Medicine--great research and training convention. Dr Wes Youngberg, a founding board member, of the Am College of Lifestyle Medicine, has over 26 years of research work, and patient care. He is pioneering work in using lifestyle medicine to actually build bridges across malfunctioning genes or change gene expression to proper function--he is out of Temecula, CA I believe (Southern California, San Diego area. He also does worldwide consultations I believe). There are a few videos of him speaking up on KZbin or you can find them on his website.

People have access to all of this information from the top health professionals in the world and they will still either ignore it or try to discredit it so they can continue eating the way they always have. People will think up every excuse imaginable not to adopt a vegan diet. They say it's easier to change someone's religious beliefs than their diet and that's the fucking truth. It's because we're so addicted to animal products. Our unhealthy eating habits are also deeply ingrained in our society and all these nutrition authorities can do is keep reciting the most up to date information out there. As a vegan, they sound like a broken record to me, but if they're consistent, the truth will win out eventually. The customer isn't entirely to blame, of course, as companies push their products so hard, lie, and mislead you in an effort to confuse you about what's healthy. In the future, I can foresee warning labels being mandatory on various foods, similar to cigarettes. People will gradually move away from unhealthy foods, like they did with cigarettes. Big pharma, medical insurance companies, the meat and dairy industries, and these massive processed food corporations can't keep the veil over everyone's eyes forever. We will eventually all see through it and these greedy swine won't be able to profit off of our declining health anymore. They will have to adapt or move over.

Why would they study nutrition in medical schools? The pharmaceutical industry makes money from producing and selling drugs. How could they make money if everybody ate healthy food and stopped buying drugs?

[@ryanrvandervegt]

this is such a good informatinal vid:)

Thank you for the great content!

This may sound like a dumb question, but do boiled peanuts count as whole food plant based, particularly spicy ones?

Every single doctor I've ever talked to in person thinks he's the world foremost expert on nutrition (I'm in Austria/Europe). Of course they all told me that daily dairy (cheese + milk) is essential for survival, and that a vegan diet is a very dangerous trend.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

Even on an omnivore diet there is a risk of nutrient deficiency due to the fact that todays' foods are laced with hormones, chemicals and by products that alters and messes up the bodys' way to process and absorb it. Then there is a cooking process which eliminates and destroys the protein molecules and vitamins. You are getting subpar nutrition. Do your own research and focus on NIH and peer review studies. Avoid bias materials that are sponsored by the Meat and Dairy industry, which is really difficult, these guys are everywhere. I went into vegetarian due to laziness and vegan due to going against the lies sold to me by industries that I need to kill to live. You don't need to kill or destroy a life in a technologically advanced society like today. We can mass produce plant-based foods without much effort, especially if we apply science and technology more effectively through hydroponics or soil-less techniques to produce food anywhere in the world. We have the know how and tools... the problem is doing it.

Thanks

[@Deffine]

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Did we forget nuts and seeds?

[@biorythmicshifter]

Doctors KNOW but won’t or can’t do anything about it unless they want to possibly destroy their careers. It’s also job security to not fix the problem…

[@yoyoyo7189]

plant based diet ftw

[@badbadgilead2552]

Anyone here notice all the advertisements in the way of videos like these are for Dominos and KFC?

[@gretaivanova908]

How do you make your closest understand without sounding like a cultist? I have that problem...

[@asarcadyn2414]

The take away from this video is that you should totally ignore nutritional advice from anyone called ‘Dr’ as they have next to no training in it. Yet these doctors seem to think it doesn’t apply to them! Talk about cognitive dissonance!

[@MegaNatebreezy]

Has anyone with extremely high ldl’s been able to reverse it completely?

[@EllaMariieMills]

This is my new favourite channel! Brushing up on my vegan facts! Thank you for posting such interesting content :)

[@TheDesmo54]

I love the add for thrive. Criticizing conventional grocery stores for upping their prices to cover their costs. That's too easy. Those costs are health care. 401ks. Social security. Salaries. So support thrive put those pesky expensive employees out of work. Close those conventional grocery stores. Put those delivery drivers out of work or those local farmers that sell to those evil conventional stores. OR don't go to thrive. But shop at WINCO An employee owned conventional grocery store.

[@biglokofourtwenty8167]

Corrects!

[@jpmathematician5504]

Fantastic!

[@mmc7745]

If plant based was the solution you would not have to tell a single person. They would be lined up.

[@orlandoremolina8074]

Excelente

[@fitawrarifitness6842]

Human physiology is herbivore ,so as much as we want to behave as omnivores, plants are always best for us.

[@BendeMark]

What online certification is that that Dr Malcom Mackay is referring to. Anyone can share the link, please?

[@sarahszeszorak4059]

Bende Mark The program is Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate course from CNS and eCornell. Go to nutritionstudies.org and there should be a menu option of education or training. I took this course earlier this year and really enjoyed the vast coverage of topics and education it provides.

[@mhenglu8825]

its better to eat apple rather than juicing? is this true? why???

[@laurenemily8297]

Juicing removes all the fibre of the apple and much of the nutrients so essentially you just drink sugary juice instead of a the entire nutritional value of an apple
