The bride wasn’t happy at first. I dug up her lawn and planted 15 blackberries, 15 blueberries, 8 grape vines, and just took a cutting from the neighbor’s huckleberry tree I’m starting indoors for the winter. In the fall I buy a case of cranberries and freeze the lot. I chop my own rhubarb into the mix and count them as berries. I have breakfasts covered for the year. ❤️

I’ve found that salads caused me insomnia, after I changed to cooked vegetables with lots of ginger and garlic, with Chinese red dates. I am sleeping better. I am no longer feeling cold all the time. I have given this receipt to my friend and they loved it too.

[@jamesigo6324]

Interestingly ginger is a stimulant to most people unless used gingerly & can really increase the heart rate significantly.

2 frozen bananas, mixture of frozen berries, maybe a cup so, cinnamon, a tall glass of water (adjust based on consistency), and 2 tablespoons of raw oats, into a blender, and it makes this delicious ice-cream-like smoothie that you can pour over some other raw oats or grain with your seeds. Less water makes it more creamy like ice cream and tastes better. If you peel your bananas and freeze them in a container then you can just use them in your smoothies and they taste incredibly delicious. The most delicious breakfast. The bananas are really what gives it that sweetness and I found 2 instead of 1, when frozen, gave it a delicious taste and texture. You don’t need any dates or other sweetener, the banana is sweet enough provided it was ripe before frozen. Alternatively you can use the 2 frozen bananas or 3 frozen bananas with some finely chopped up dates, maybe a teaspoon or two of cocoa powder, or adjust based on preference, and some water, maybe a half tall glass, depending on your desired consistency, and some raw oats, all in a blender, and this makes a delicious desert. The idea of oats in the blender is to sort of make an oat milk-on-the-go. The more creamy the texture the tastier. Just make sure your blender can handle the frozen fruit, ideally 1200W +. Be careful if it is 400-800W. I’m not sure how 800-1000W blenders handle frozen fruit.

[@darjeeling9116]

Yes it's wonderful! I also use frozen fruits to make healthy ice-cream. I just add a little bit of organic unsweetened soy milk and sometimes a couple of cashews for extra creamy texture! Many variations are possible !

[@ocelotcat]

Thank you 🙏

[@happycook6737]

I make a chocolate "frosty" with 1 sliced frozen banana, 1 cup soy milk, 1/2 cup rinsed cooked black beans no added salt, 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower florets, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. I use a ninja blender. You may need to add a little more water. I also add 4 ice cubes to make it more icy. For more sweetness add 2 pitted soaked dates and their soaking water. This is so delicious. I pour it into a huge insulated cup. Sometimes I add less water and eat it with a spoon. You don't taste the cauliflower or beans at all. My friend adds a dash of cinnamon for a Mexican chocolate effect. Sometimes I add a drop or two of pure almond extract for a Hershey Almond Bar effect. Riced frozen cauliflower doesn't work as well so be sure to go for florets.

I am Carol Burgess and live in Arkansas. We, my husband and I are in our late 50’s. My husband had a triple bypass and lost all his muscle and fat. He is now a skeleton and looking like he can’t hold up his own lack of weight. The doctors put him on a plant-based diet, and he is trying. The big problem is he needs fat. He does a cardio workout every other two days and uses some weights with it. I believe that is what saved him, he worked out his whole life, even the doctor said he had a strong heart. He needs to stay away from oils, processed foods. How can I get some weight on him with healthy foods? Thank you so much, I am at a loss. I have your books. Carol Burgess

[@Mike65809]

I'm no doctor but some people need more fat in their diet than others. Everyone is different.

[@darlenepopinchalk1508]

Maybe healthy fats like avacado, fatty fish, salmon, mackerel, nuts, some types of seeds, flaxseed, you also buy healthy oils in dark glass jars in the refrigerated section that are healthy omega fatty oils.

[@reece5934]

For salads, may not be ideal for everyone’s weight-loss goals, but I find that the soup/stew that I’ve made, consistening of legumes of different beans and lentils and my tomato for the base with 2 onions, garlic ginger, broccoli, cauliflower, maybe starchy veg like sweet potato and butternut for taste, with mushrooms, and chopped up carrots, spinach, and maybe some other veg like maybe a beet or something else, with a lot of spice like cumin, turmeric, coriander, maybe some cayenne for heat, and some curry powder like masala and garam masala, becomes an easy ‘salad dressing.’ I just pour over my soup/stew on my green leafy veg, mostly lettuce as it’s delicious, and perhaps you can add your chopped up red onions and tomato and mix it with your seeds. It’s an easy way to get your salad in if you don’t have a salad dressing that works for you. Probably more calories though so depends on your specific goals, but for me the soup/stew is so tasty that it’s a lot easier to eat my salad mixed with it. This is aside from my bowl of soup/stew on its own without the salad, which I usually have during breakfast after I’ve had my smoothie. Then I’ll just eat a plum and an apple after my salad as desert and maybe another fruit, else I’m satisfied.

So grateful for this. Where does whole grain breads or any bread fit into this? What about tofu/tempeh? What about those who crave sweets terribly, are there any friendly desserts that would fit in such as fruit crisps, etc? This has been my biggest obstacle.

[@darlenepopinchalk1508]

Try a fruit smoothie or ice cream using soy milk, berries, couple raw cashews, dates add wonderful sweetness. Dates are sweet and chewy.

[@tulsan8ive485]

I had bad cravings for sweets right when I’d get off work at 3 pm. When I added guacamole to my lunch those cravings completely stopped!!

[@karenhartman9774]

Keto deserts are great for getting off those cravings. Avocado chocolate mousse is fantastic and takes less than I min. I make fudge with 3/4 c coconut oil, 2 plantains, chocolate powder, and put it into 8x8 and press some lightly toasted nuts into the top. Keep refrigerated. 1 piece satisfies. You don’t crave more. I got past sugar/carb cravings with this crutch. Good luck.

[@Battery-kf4vu]

You usually say that you're against foods that boost metabolism, but it could help for fat loss. Capsaisin containing foods and whatnot.

[@desireerice3699]

these videos are so good.

[@deepwaters7242]

Hmmm. I have similar needs as the person he's addressing, and I am already vegetarian and don't have a sweet tooth. My issue is that I find oats disgusting (familial trauma where plain oatmeal has been used as a punishment), I don't want to eat much fruit, the meal plan he describes is expensive where I am and don't have access to a garden, and where are the beans?!?! I guess hummus is SOMETHING but beans are one of the best ways for me to get protein and satiation. Also my salt cravings will have me reaching for potato chips if he wants everything to be unsalted. What are some recommendations that could accommodate my needs?

[@tulsan8ive485]

Eat barley instead of oats or even mix them together. There are many good grains that you can eat. He talks about soup, that’s where I put the beans or lentils for the protein and satiation. I also put brown rice in with my beans and lentils. Someone else talked about putting rinsed unsalted black beans in with frozen banana, cocoa and fruit to make an ice cream which sounds delicious and would be satisfying and filling. I’m gonna try that one!

[@pda2836]

Absolutely, Dr Fuhrman is all about the beans... his weight loss book includes them in his soup with lunch and in every dinner. He mentions this at 8:26 for the soup. He is addressing weight loss here and highlighting the low calorie density of veggies for meals. GBOMBS for the win :)

[@pamelabarrell3153]

My concern is getting enough protein to keep muscle mass. How do we ensure this on this eating plan ???

[@alexpfleger5539]

More beans especially Soy. It’s like the vegans answer to Carnivory. It has more saturated fat, lycine, and concentration of protein than most beans.

[@darlenepopinchalk1508]

You can get protein from nuts. Legumes, seeds, lots of B vitamin in nutritional yeast (so yummy, tastes like cheese). Think about it...cows eat grass and hay, no meat at all and they have muscles.

[@alexpfleger5539]

[@alwayslearning6763]

Anyone know why unsweetened soy milk is the best choice if overweight? (Said around 4:30). I lean towards almond milk because it’s easier to make. And I make it thinner - so I would think my almond milk would be lower in calories than soy milk. is there something about soy milk for weight loss that I don’t know? (Or maybe I misunderstood what he said? Tho listened twice!). thx

[@annetteparker6973]

It might be that soy has protective anti-cancer properties and good protein.

[@meman6964]

Only ORGANIC soy. Also,if you build kidney stones avoid almond milk (even hand made), too high oxalates

Around how many calories are you imagining someone would be getting if they followed this and could going too low on calories inhibit weight loss? I'm 265lbs (down from 330 since going WFPB two years ago) but I've stalled at 260ish for about a year now. I run about 5 times a week, so I don't want to get so little that my body refuses to lose weight, but I'm trying to get down closer to 200lbs, even though that seems like a pipe dream 2.5 years in.

People need to take personal responsibility for their life and health. The general over all health of people has declined the last few decades. Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences. There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese. What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications. Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks. Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods. Being thin is a sign of good health. Being over weight or obese is a sign of bad health. Poor diet, lack of exercise and obesity are contributing to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

[@happycook6737]

Have a look at Jeff Novick's recipes. His meals take 10 minutes to make and taste good. Google Jeff Novick's 10 fast food recipes. He is WFPB no SOS like Dr. Furman. I make 2 of Novick's recipes each weekend and portion/freeze them. I buy boxes of ready to eat lettuce, bags of frozen veggies. I keep Ezekiel bread in my freezer. I also cook up whole wheat pasta and rice to portion and freeze. Then I am never more than 5 minutes away from a healthy meal. Initially it seems hard but over time it's the easiest way of eating.
