"Let me show you how to cook *without oils*. I got a little oil spray...." 🙄 Absolutely not a good idea and easily avoided!

@@bernadinesuarez9971 How do you avoid this. Also how long does a meal like this hold you for. That was the one thing I found frustrating about vegan eating--you're forever hungry and always in the middle of a meeting at work, you're hungry. Vegan foods don't last long in the stomach unlike protein.

@@abi2270 I use water or vegetable stock to keep food from sticking. What keeps me full for a long time is *fiber.* Vegetables and grains can give you a lot. I have around 60g of fiber a day. My breakfast has a full cup of oats cooked with extra water - gives you a lot of bulk, expecially when I add 2T of ground flax seed and a cup of cherries to it. I like volume. The beauty of this is that if you're hungry you can eat more! Put shredded carrots or zucchini in your oats if you need more. In a lunch salad, add the kitchen sink of vegetables and some chickpeas or beans for even more fiber. Keep a couple of bananas in your desk that you can grab if you're hungry between meals. It's doable! But you have to stay away from all oils. No halfway there! Hope this helps. Best of luck to you and don't hesitate to ask for help.

@@bernadinesuarez9971 Yours is better advice than the video. I was trying to choose between Mediterranean diet with a little olive oil or Ornish, but couldn't figure out how to saute or even oven bake without a little oil. I sure don't want to use PAM!!

[@melodyfleck9368]

This is bad advice - PAM contains Palm oil, Coconut oil, Lecithin from soybeans as a non-stick agent, Dimethyl silicone to prevent foaming and Rosemary as a preservative. The first 2 oils should not be in a cardiac patient's diet and a anti-foaming agent. In addition, nightshade plants (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and white potatoes) are inflammatory triggers for some people.
