Plant-Based Diets Boost Metabolism

Can certain foods help your metabolism? Which foods are best? Is oil healthy? Dr. Hana Kahleova shares the latest science on a new episode of The Exam Room podcast! PCRM.org/Podcast for more.

I started a plant-based whole foods diet several years ago and never looked back. I avoid oils as well. This (plus daily exercise) changed my whole body. No more joint pain or acid reflux. I was amazed at how much it affected me.

I started the "Plant-based diet" 4 weeks ago, so I had an appointment with my doctor 3 weeks after I started the PL diet. My doctor was shocked to see that all my "stats" for "high blood pressure and thyroids" were so far down until my doctor was shocked. She asked me "what did I do", so I told her "I had started the plant based diet" and would NEVER turn back to "bad eating and horrible medications". She was happy, but she seemed a little confused, so she made an appointment for me to return in six weeks, and if my "vitals" were still down to normal, she would take me of the "meds". I'm looking forward to returning to her, and she can eliminate these "horrible meds with lots of "side affects". I will NEVER be off this "plant-based" way of eating. I FEEL WONDERFUL AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS HEALTHY WAY OF EATING, and by the way I don't miss eating "meat, dairy, and oils".

[@DbeeSapphire]

Hi Ella, your post is a year old. So how are feeling? Did the doctor take you off the meds?

She’s not lying. I was on high blood pressure medication and on my way to diabetes. Went plant-based two years ago lost 20 pounds and all my numbers are normal.

You're a Vegan, or you're plant based? Makes a difference. Vegan is a lifestyle that eschews leather, killing bugs, etc. They are often ill from eating vegan junk/processed foods. Whole foods, plant based, eat whole foods from plants only, with also happens to help the animals, and the planet. I never call myself a vegan because I think there is still some leather in my life, and I do kill ant, spiders, mice, gophers, etc. I'm working on it. To each his own, but I feel wonderful eating only what grows from the ground. As little processing as possible. Nice to imagine that you are both.

[@theparadiddlydoo2771]

Maybe they can use more scientific language to try and solve the riddler...that is "sv3rige", who claims that a plant based diet isn't healthy in the long term. Not only that but I'd like for someone on the Physicians Committee to talk more about what eating raw "grass fed" meat could do to your health. Whether it'd be beneficial or dangerous. Someone on the PE needs to get onto this!

Yes indeed. Christmas 2017 i went plant based and now 13kg lighter, more power to energy, clarity and feeling awesome.

[@citadelofwinds1564]

An excellent video, covering many key points with clarity. Food is an emotive issue, so no surprise to see some spats. The bottom line is that the PCRM and various researchers who support it have done their work, and the science behind the low-fat, whole foods vegan diet is solid. It doesn't mean one should become a fanatic over it. Being 100% is very difficult in the modern world and requires such effort and vigilance that this sometimes tips over into obsessiveness. It's better to follow the diet at say the 80-90% level, and allow some flexibility for eating out and travelling, than to try and be 100% compliant and possibly end up with new issues caused by a rigid mindset that does not make any realistic allowances for occasional "lapses". Being overly rigid and obsessive could well end up in abandoning the diet altogether, when the realistic solution is to step back, relax and be realistic and flexible. When someone decides to transition to vegan, the path is unique and personal. I've come across or read about too many judgmental food nazis whose approach to people they see as "noncompliant" or "backsliding" has more to do with ideological, rigid dogmatism and a convert's fanatical scrutiny of "sinners", than with a rational approach to improving diet. Going vegan is not a competition. It is not a race to see who gets there fastest. It is not about gaining kudos for being 100% "pure". It is not about doing penance when you supposedly "fail". It is not about obsessing about food every waking hour. It is not about obsessing over what someone else eats. It is not about preaching aggressively to gain converts to your food ideology. It is not about attacking others for their food choices. You are not responsible for anyone's diet except your own.

[@lilaclady4591]

Best eating plan for humans hands down! I was looking to get rid of inflammation when I came down with pain from an autoimmune disease. After a year of pain and failure I tried a WFPB diet and that was it! I was pain free!!! I also lost 15 lbs in the first two months... by accident. I was already a normal weight. The biggest surprise ever was that after a year on this diet I found I was free if all my food addictions! I will never go back to a SAD diet!

[@jilleybean5618]

What an enlightening interview!! Thank you so much, Chuck, for having Dr Hana on! I've been vegan for several years, but only lost about 20 pounds, over all, out of 120 I needed to lose. I've felt SO frustrated, especially when I see other people go vegan and lose 80 pounds or more in a year! After watching this interview, though, I realize I've been eating way too much fat, even though I mostly eat whole foods plant based! I checked on Cronometer (I don't document my meals every day, but often enough that I can see trends), and my fat intake has been much more than 20-30 grams a day! I'm going to be changing that, today!

[@wishingb5859]

Jilleybean, that is a common error. I did the same thing. I was eating oil-free hummus and guacamole every day and I couldn't lose weight at all with those in my diet.

[@wishingb5859]

I also would say that the processed vegan foods are generally horrible for weight loss. I like putting crumbles in vegan chili but there are so many brands out and some of them are seriously high fat. I found that Boca crumbles had no fat and the whole bag was 360 calories which made it easier to not make mistakes but their crumbles are hard to find. Someone told me that Bob's Red Mills has a TVP which is supposed to be similar. But I used to add some of the faux meats in and most of them are easy to find out that you ate 2 servings instead of one. Labels have such tiny writing that I have been burned a lot over the years.

[@wishingb5859]

That is a good one. I have wanted a study for that. There was a prison study Dr. Greger talked about where they tried to get skinny prisoners to gain 30 pounds and it only took 40,000 extra calories on a high-fat diet but it took 130,000 calories on a low fat, high carb diet. I am wondering if plant-based would be an even greater difference.

Actually I think arginine is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual. Still very cool information =)

[@Cin9999]

Luís Miguel You are correct although I always thought that classification is stupid bc you need arginine to recover better from wounds etc. ...so basically you need it if you are living

Yeah and things are mutable, it's possible that we will come to realize that actually it's essential.. I don't have the right knowledge to argue this issue but being an activist I trained myself to stick to the unquestionable facts. Many times I've seen entire debates with many solid arguments be ignored just because of one little "technicality" =] But anyway, thanks for replying!

[@Frenchblue8]

Peter.plantfueled. Lima Pretty dogmatic. You heard here what the acceptable daily parameters recommended on a vegan diet are for plant fats from all sources. Of course, getting that amount from nuts, seeds avocados, et al, is preferable, but don't condemn those who enjoy a little vegan butter on their toast every now and then.

[@Cin9999]

Frenchblue8 Well its not dogmatic if its based on research and if you go on pubmed there is mixed conclusions but 100% of interventional trials on oil just show negative effects Saying there is a tolerance just means its bad but you can recover ...doesnt mean its optimal Thats like saying one cigarette a month doesnt matter so it must be healthy

[@Cin9999]

auggiedoggy „Doing just fine“ isnt scientific and veganism has nothing to do with avoiding oils If you are talking about the study on the „meditaranian diet“ if you actually read it, they examined a very specific group of people that were very poor and did not consume a lot of animal products or oil Perfectly in line with recommendations of the WHO, ADA, ACC, ABCN etc. And there is a big difference between what you think is „just fine“ and the optimal recommendation based on the best evidence No one claimed 1g of any oil will straight kill you on the spot

[@philddlesticks]

polyunsaturated oils slow down metabolism, inhibit oxidative phosphorylation, lower thyroid and mitochondria function, they are hepatotoxic, required for alcoholic liver cirrhosis, sensitise us to UV light radiation causing skin burning, create vitamin E deficiency, increase inflammation by lipid peroxidative damage, they also create toxic fragments, aldehydes, they're carcinogenic.. I would not even eat much whole food fats for this reason.

[@Cin9999]

Phil Griffiths none of the effects you mentioned - without any source btw - are observed with whole plant foods

[@arunenquiry]

One point I heard from another youtube video is that whole food, plant based diets are also usually low in calories for the same sensation of satiety. Apparently, vegan diets tend to be 500+ calories lower, and vegetarian diets around 200-300. So this could be a confounding variable that drives a lot of the benefits from plat based diets. Calorie reduction usually has a short-term positive effect on metabolic diseases, but it might have long term consequences. Something to think about.

[@Aaron.Thomas]

One of the long term consequences is longer life span. Calorie restriction diets with no other factors (even s.a.d. diets) trigger some things like telomerase and such in humans. Though if it actually increases life span is not 100% clear. (at the very least, in rats that were bred to be overweight and had shorter lifespans, calorie restriction normalized their life span, though we're not rats or bred for obesity, and getting a normal lifespan back is not the same as increasing normal lifespan)

Kara Hamil all vegetables contain some carbs but most modern keto diets allow unlimited leafy vegetables. Their fibre reduces blood sugar impacts. See Dr Berg.

Many grains are pro-inflammatory

With regard to fat consumption, why do we make bile and have a gallbladder? What about the fat soluble vitamins ADE and K?

[@alexanderreynolds6018]

We do need fat in our diets. But if you eat a variety of whole plant foods, you'll get all the fat you need. There is fat in every single unprocessed plant food, even if only in trace amounts. People advocating a low fat diet are not promoting a NO-fat diet; that's impossible without eating only highly processed foods, and nobody would ever advocate that. The "low fat" diet that people talk about isn't really "low fat", it's just "lower fat than modern high fat diets". The "low fat" diet is just the human's natural, optimal diet, and it does include fat, which is why we have developed bodies that use fat and have organs, fluids, and processes to metabolize fat.

Exactly, 10-15% cal from fat is great for most people barring health conditions and most Americans eat about twice that if not more. A "low fat diet" is just a "correct amount of fat" diet.

[@Cin9999]

Alex Reynolds Well I agree but have to mention macro nutrients in % of daily energy intake is rather unscientific 0,7-1g (m) 0,9-1,2g (f) per kg of lean body mass is much more accurate

[@alexanderreynolds6018]

Well if you follow the math, gram per kg of body weight, and percentage of calories are different ways of saying the same thing. People generally need a certain number of calories total per kg of body weight and a certain number of grams of fat per body weight, which you can calculate into percentage of total calories.

I am vegan (no junk food & no animal-derived food), but the statement "within a few days" strikes me as an unnecessary exaggeration.

[@citadelofwinds1564]

It's not exaggeration. I did a vegan challenge diet years ago and within 3 DAYS it lowered my blood sugar from the lower end of the diabetic blood sugar range to normal. After 3 weeks on it, the readings were stable well, well under that initial normal range. I went back on the vegan diet recently. Again, I noted significant changes within just 3 days. If you haven't gone overnight from a typical Western diet to a vegan diet, you wouldn't be likely to notice such drastic changes. But they are reported, again and again, by people who have gone cold turkey.

[@paulaadesokan288]

Yes I agree!!

[@m.taylor]

It took me a month to see positive changes.

She starts out using the term plant based and a minute later she says there are benefits in going vegan. Plant based isn't necessarily vegan. In fact there are no studies, whether population or otherwise that show a plant based vegan diet allows you to live longer than one that contains animal products. The long lived people on this planet over the last two hundred years weren't and aren't vegan. Those are the Blue Zone folks. There just never has been a population that's been vegan in history and therefore it's a crap shoot whether veganism plant based is better or worse than plant based omnivore. Only time will tell. As it stands right now you're better off with the proven way, which is plant based omnivore. Also a major benefit of plant based omnivore is that you don't need to take any chemical supplements or plant based analogs like B12, D, and K2. Notice that during the entire discussion they keep mixing plant based and vegan as if it's the same thing. It obviously is not. And the highest levels of arginine unlike what this lady tells us aren't in plants although they contain plenty. The highest levels of arginine are in animal products, in particular turkey and pork. Plant based diets vegan or otherwise don't raise your metabolism. She's spouting nonsense on that bit. Oh yeah, what she fails to mention is that every excess calories consumed from carbs is turned into saturated fat and stored on your body. And it is turn that most omega 3 and 6 is stored as those fats and not converted as are carbs. Notice that after all her talk about reversing type 2 diabetics at minute 15 she admits that anyone already diabetic was disqualified from participating in their latest study. Let's face it any diet including Paleo and low carb will show up better than the standard American diet which the control group ate. They didn't dare compare a healthy omnivore diet against a vegan plant based diet.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOYYYYYYUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[@peterfaber9316]

High carb vegan diets are not the best option for diabetes. It just seems that way because of the reduction of processed carbs and sugar, way more vegetable (increases potassium intake which improves insulin sensitivity) and reduces protein intake (reduces gluconeogenesis). But a low carb high fat moderate protein diet is better, independent of if you eat animal products or not. Just keep protein intake at around 20% of total calories. Intermittent fasting is ridiculously difficult on high carb diets. And you need to do IF to get rid of insulin resistance. Just my opinion.

[@ms3er396]

there's no reason to count calories or carbs on a whole plant food based diet. so long as people do it wisely, ie don't eat a dozen dates in a sitting, don't use 3 bananas as your breakfast, etc. their sugar levels and insulin resistance will not be an issue. fasting wise, don't eat until you're hungry. I eat my last meal before 7pm and don't eat breakfast the next day until my body tells me it's hungry which is usually around 10am. I eat lunch around 1-2pm which is when my body tends to tell me.

[@cigileyAtTR]

I have been doing IF for many years on a "high carb" meal plan.

[@sharonbackos4975]

Oh, ok this is 4 years ago. No wonder everything she says is wrong, except to get all of the vegetable oils out. Everything else is completely wrong

[@adamrandles4055]

What you're eating for Brexit haha those darn brexiters!

[@7328971]

Veganism got nothing to do with diets .

[@thekehoeshow..]

George Ale yeah, she seemed to try to say "plant based" but he kept saying vegan, so i think she just went with it.

[@gigipizzuto4068]

George Ale she is from Barnard "team". They promote plant based, not vegan. It's vegan people who jump on the plant based diet wagon then make it theirs.

[@Stradz-ml9po]

Lmao compared to the western diet, well DERR the western diet is full of shit processed food. A Balanced whole food diet works best!
