Scientist explains HOW to eat like Game Changers in 2020

[@LeanAndMean44]

I started with the „Meatless Monday”/ I had one meatless day a week. This was because my dad found out how much better it would be for the climate, just having one meatless day a week. We started by just replacing the meat 🥩 in burgers 🍔, lasagne, pizza 🍕, pasta dishes etc with some plant-based/vegetarian options. After I while, doing that, we found out how good it actually tastes, and also which of the alternatives we liked and disliked. Now we wanted to have more meatless days, and just kind of doing what we already did, just 2-3 times a week. I then, mostly through KZbin and Netflix (fx TED’s videos and the series “Our Planet” , found out how bad climate change really is, and felt bad about eating meat 🥩. In that period my dad just started cooking more plant-based foods, also because this was now the most familiar to us, and we rather wanted it than meat. We now ate meatless 4-6 times a week. So actually, now it was switched around, and we mostly had only had one day in the week eating meat. So we were almost vegetarians. At that time I still drank milk 🥛 and ate yoghurt because I thought this would be the best for my growth (I’m 14). But then I watched Game Changers, and discovered this channel, learned some more, and decided to go vegan 🌱. I have been vegan 99% of the time for a month now and have replaced “normal” yoghurt with Alpro yoghurt, and milk 🥛 with alternatives like Oat-drink, Soy-drink, “Ricedrink”, and a pea-based drink. I’m not a “religious” vegan, so I don’t follow it 100%, but my diet is plant-based. This whole “journey” took me 1 1/2 years 😁

First I thought your videos had a bit tooo much energy and you "oversell" or "over-promote" your ideas and views. Now, I can't get enough of your info you provide. I am 90% Whole-Based Plant-Based for the past 5 years and have now as a 59-year-old more energy than 10 years ago. I even forgot when I had last time a cold or a headache. And I lost 25 lbs. without even trying. Keep it up, Dr. Gil.

My Aussie son's Japanese wife had a baby about 1 year ago and on a visit I noticed his plate with about 6 different types of food on it...with lots of Japanese influence. She said she had been recording all the different foods she had fed him, in addition to continuing to breast feed....and said 65 !!!!!!!! What a great present to his gut, future Health and well being.

GREAT to finally see a video by a nutritionist who is balanced and unbiased; advocates HEAPS of plant-based foods but is NOT against eating meat. It's a breath of fresh air. I'm definitely inspired today to eat a variety of plant-based foods after watching Game Changers AND this and his review. #GottaGetHealthy #MeatIsStillDelicious

I had similar experience with tofu as the doctor had with the steamed broccoli. I was never a fan of tofu but, as a relatively new vegan, I begrudgingly tried tried preparing it following an online recipe for the nutritional purpose. As I was cubing it, I grabbed a piece and popped it in my mouth and actually enjoyed it! Soon I found myself popping a whole lot in my mouth and had to force myself to save some for the recipe. It’s amazing how the taste buds change!

[@gregboettcher8015]

You're not going to believe this, but I stumbled across your channel just three days ago, NOT because I was looking for anything related to nutrition, but simply because I had a need to learn how to search for scientific papers. One video led to the next. Even though I did NOT have the intention of improving my diet three days ago, because of videos like this one, I decided over the weekend to make three changes to my diet this week: eat more fruit, eat oatmeal for breakfast, and eat at least three vegetarian dinners this week. My aim is to gradually increase the proportion of my diet that is healthy. I find it empowering to know that this process can be as slow and easy as I want it to be. I've found your videos to be a extremely motivating and encouraging, while in my opinion being devoid of the kind of the ideology, spin, and B.S. that always turns me off. Thank you!

This is one of the best basic primers to getting more plants in your diet that I have seen. What I love about your videos is that you don't slam people over the head and try to guilt them about eating meat, it's all about the positivity of getting more whole plant foods in. You're not preachy or judemental. The opposite. Definitely sharing this with all my FB friends in the hopes that some of this message will get through to those who need to hear it most.

Great summary on healthy eating lifestyle. I lost 79 lbs in 6 months by altering diet. The weight loss accelerated with newfound energy. I was a “cows eat the grass, and I eat the cows” kinda guy. Today I still enjoy some meat but discovered the wonderful assortment of plants. One thing to add to your list of tips is to encourage finding things that you really really like. It is literally limitless and I it’s a great motivator. Nothing goes into this pie hole I don’t like and I have maximized one of life’s simple pleasures - eating.

[@shannon4830]

Great video!! Covered all the important info with great tips! I also found myself wanting to eat broccoli out of the steamer basket (or before it went into the steamer basket).

Here is a way to add variety to your salads. I use some of the pureed soups that are in cartons. They do not require cooking, so I add them cold. I then combine with salsa, or fat free dressings, and or mustard. Hummus goes great with salad, especially on toast. Your idea of adding fruit is good too. I especially like oranges for the tang and sweetness to balance the vinegar in dressings. The vitamin C will help absorb any iron in your salad.

[@jenniferhofferth4816]

I’ve got a few good tips that helped this Italian raised “foodie” transition. Choose any local authentic Ethiopian, Asian or Middle Eastern restaurant nearby and try ordering unfamiliar vegetarian or vegan appetizers , sample platters, or entrees. I’m sure I’m missing several, but many countries have absolutely delicious cuisines that already omit animal proteins, or at least meat. However, the descriptions don’t always seem tantalizing…ask for recommendations from the staff if you’re stuck. Once you know the names of the dishes you enjoy, look for a whole food plant based recipe online, or try to convert it yourself. Homemade cashew cream takes just minutes to make once the raw, unsalted cashews are soaked in water for a few hours. Just drain and blend until creamy. Make it as thick or thin as your recipe needs by adjusting the amount of water. One more for sausage lovers… find a recipe for your fav sausage - the revision I have of The Joy of Cooking has some, pulse some meaty mushrooms, may throw in a small handful of soft or soaked nuts in your food processor with the spices and sauté together to get a flavorful replacement. It won’t stick together but can be used on pizzas, in pastas, soups, stews, and sautées. I don’t miss the meat or cheese at all anymore….there was a time I was sure that was an unattainable goal. Good luck!

Great advice on trying new foods. By challenging myself to try different vegetables I have found so many kinds that are delicious and also convenient enough for me to cook living alone in a tiny apartment; parsnips, string beans and celery have become absolute favorites of mine. And while it doesn't require cooking it does require special mention: radish sprouts. Good. God. I was obsessed at the first bite.

Great video that covers a lot of ground. I like that you tell people to question you and do there own research although many people (such as myself) lack the background to do proper constructive research on these things. For the most part our research would result in us finding other people's opinions rather than reading scientific journals. The polarised conversation around The Game Changers seemed like clear indication of how many people are fully subject to their own biases and/or suffer from Kruger Dunning syndrome. Personally, I'd like to say I could do the research but the truth is I'm just guessing whose opinion I should put a little trust in. Your advice seems balanced and thoughtful so I take it into consideration when "planning" my diet. I may impliment some things and see how sustainable they are and if there are any noticeable changes my general health.

[@Batooony]

When I learned about animal suffering I went vegetarian right away, soon after vegan. Before that I had meat pretty much in every single meal. I was never a huge fan of vegetables, wasn't snacking on fruits either. I had no idea how to operate on plant based diet. If you feel like you have no idea what you're doing im the beginning it is perfectly normal, it's gonna get easier with time. Plant based diet can be absolutely delicious, simple and very similar to what you were used to if you want.

The carnivore and keto world seems to be highly cherry picked with a ton of holes in it. I'm also not an activist and my reasons for deciding on a diet are health focused. Probably why I don't eat twinkies and vegan garbage. I have watched some of the slaughter house documentaries and I'm not a fan of how the animals are treated but the other concern that stuck out for me was the unsanitary condition in slaughter houses. The festering wounds and rusty dirty tools they are using on our "food" is pretty disturbing to be honest.

I've avoided bad and sugary foods as well as eating more plants for a year or two now and I have to tell you who is reading this comment that the idea of craving bad foods is nonexistent anymore. It is not even that the crave is not there, it can even be the opposite. When I eat Kale now I enjoy the taste. When I eat vegetables and healthy food it taste better and I enjoy it way more then something bad. So if you are in that other spot then know this that your taste WILL change.

Same here! For instance, if I am at a family gathering, I won't refuse all the food on the table just because it contains animal proteins. I would mainly have salad and take small bits of everything. Then, when I get home, I would keep eating the way I eat. Not getting into conflicts with people around me because of my choice not to eat certain things helps with my mental health. Also, explaining why I suddenly don't want to eat something is just exhausting. Since it is my own choice it is not my obligation to force everyone else around me follow my footsteps.

Veganism appeals to the ignorant who are far removed from nature and who do not research beyond the headlines. If diet can reduce risk of modern industrial diseases CVD, Alzheimers, Autoimmune, Diabetes, Cancers then surely that diet would look something like that of pre-industrialisation of foods and nothing like the heavy carb, sugar, omega 6 seed oil that form the basis of a vegan diet. The health argument for veganism is ridiculous, and so is the environmental justification when you look for actual evidence. It's a dogma that sweeps up the young and impressionable and the low IQ.

I don’t like counting calories and am trying to eat from all sources as u recommend. Since I hadn’t eaten red meat for about 40 years and only added chicken and turkey back about 4 years ago, the transition isn’t that bad. Thank u for all the information u provide. Great job 👏🏽!

Your taste and smell does change, maybe even becomes better to the point where animal based products start smelling weird, kind of like you can smell the death. Also high fat, sugar and salt become more noticeable in taste when you eat them less and to me that made things not taste as good, now I could taste the high fat content in it. And as you say, veggies become like candies and that also counts for fruit. It's incredible. My dad noticed his taste and smell also became way better after eating more plant based, to the point that unhealthy foods became less and less appealing and a plate full with green asparagus and sautéed mushrooms brings the biggest smile to his face, while saying "I could eat this every day".

Went vegan overnight. Clear boundaries helped me focus on the diet fully and not waste time and energy on 'will I/wont I?'. Had I done it slowly I wouldn't be the healthy and happy vegan I am, nigh on 10 years down the track. My 'reasons' helped a lot. Once I understood the damage participating in the food system I had been was causing to my body, the planet and the animals, it was easy to no longer participate in it. Dr Will Tuttle was my enlightener. Peace does not come from violence. Has there been challenges? You bet!! Still are but what I have gained on nearly every level, physical and mental health, a lightness of being and spiritual calmness, and a deepening connection and respect for all life make it well worth the journey.

Just discovered this site. I have looking at various diets for years with on and off adherence. Dr Hyman was great for a bit and Dr Berg. Before that Dr Weil who I seemed to have doubled back to but eliminating all ultra processed foods has been my game changer. Adding some empirical evidence has been my game changer towards healthy eating. I love food. I will not give up animal protein but cut way back and there is such an amazing variety of real Whole Foods that I don’t feel deprived. I would like to see a harder look at Dr Hyman as he even shows up on our local news here in SOCAL.

Such great info for newbies to plant based. I love blending apples into my salad dressings for flavor and sweetness. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the comprehensive analysis. It must have taken you a lot of time. Really appreciate the effort. I started my subscription. Your channel should get a lot more tragic.

For me batch cooking and variety of grains and combining has helped a lot! Learned too make several dressings! Tasty and easy!

[@Josh-Beeton]

Things like broccoli, spinach and other vegetables were something I would avoid completely! Now my taste has changed and I'm not saying I love the taste, but I don't hate it anymore and I think anyone can change what foods they hate by making small changes 💪🏻😉

[@fernandocalcagno9007]

My blender is my best friend when it comes to eating a variety of vegetables. I mix up my veggies with fruits and make really good smoothies packed with real nutrition. I started slow but steady like the video says and I'm going on 5 years since I started. I have lost 30 lbs in 5 years. The majority of the wait I lost within the first year. Some of the changes that my body went through took 4 years. Like shedding fat from certain areas of my body. Now people tell me I look 25 when I'm actually 40.

Great video. Smoking vegetables using natural wood is a simple way to add depth of flavor. We've heard of chipotle peppers, which you can do, but I also smoke my tomatoes in a smoker and then can them for vegan stews. You can short smoke vegan scalloped potatoes to keep them warm ahead of a meal and it adds a ham flavor. Eggplant is already pretty bitter so I would recommend a short smoke after it grilling.

Eating honeydew was what got my ball rolling. Before that, i rarely ate plants or fruit. Honeydew is sweet, perfect for a sweet tooth like me! When i found out about caloric density, that was the tipping point. Within a month, i switched from 90% animal products to 90% plants. Also, for people trying to lose weight, the knowledge that eating more while still loosing weight is a major selling point. Plants are literal fat burners. They are pretty hard to digest which burns more calories.

Hoping to encourage someone through this! I'm glad sauces and spices were mentioned! This is really important! I don't particularly love the taste of cooked cow as much as I do the seasoning on it! Well... burnt end smoked brisket is unique and irreplaceable... but I digress. To replicate these flavors into plant dishes can be a game changer (no pun intended). I enjoy plant and animal sources of nutrition, but each year, I find myself incorporating more and more plants because I become more aware of how I feel from what I eat. So the suggestion of just less meat is really on point. But in all honesty... higher plant consumption is HARD! Especially in areas where farmer's markets are not year round. That's where not only habit comes in, but a commitment to a lifestyle that supports optimization each day.

I bought a whole bag of dried strawberry slices the other day and there's only 45 calories in the entire bag. A single digestive biscuit or cookie has more calories than that. Anybody can include a large amount of fruit and vegetables in their diet and it won't affect calories or blood sugar. But too many people now days are terrified of eating fruit, even though many fruits raised metabolism and help with blood sugar control. A few berries in oatmeal is a great way to get a steady supply of energy in the morning without spiking blood sugar.

A year and a half ago I bought a Vitamix blender, I work nights, when I wake up I make a healthy smoothie with vegetables and fruits. The rest of my meals were eggs, eggs, more eggs, and bacon, plus dairy. I had cut down considerably on pasta, and bread. I watched the movie Game Changer, and I decided to move towards a plant based diet. So glad I found this channel, so many vegetarian diets replace meat with bread, pasta, and processed foods that are no better than meat, just lacking the animal cruelty aspect. This is one of the few that promotes healthy alternatives to meat. I am so glad you are non-biased, now if I could find a news source that isn’t biased, and agenda driven. I did buy the How Not to Die cookbook, the best thing in it is the green, yellow, red part that you give to food, it has helped me avoid the temptation to eat bad food, I even apply it to other life choices as well.

I have been doing sports for 25 years (martial arts, boxing, wrestling, powerlifting, bodybuilding) and have a lot of muscle mass. For decades I have forced myself to eat a lot of animal products because I thought that this would be necessary to be big and strong. Turned vegan 9 months ago and I bacame leaner, gained muscle mass and gained 10 pounds while reducing body fat eventhough I am already 38 years old. And I enjoy eating a lot more now. It was really easy to turn vegan and I have not even once missed animal products.

[@veronicaparra6991]

I have been a vegetarian for 30 years. I find many videos online focus on being a vegetarian or vegan but address the issue as a fad or about being the in thing. The one thing I strongly believe is if a person decides to change it should be not for a fad or being the in thing. It makes it easier to make the change. Plus, the body resents changes. Part of having a change is learning about respecting one's body. One has to do the research such in the video it addresses the issue of some vegetarians/vegans lacking vitamin B12. When I decided to become a vegetarian due to ethical ideas relating to the environment I did a lot of research. The video is well done. Kudos.

it's important to supplement with b12 and d3 (everyone needs these two vitamins...not a fan of the sun for the latter...as it accelerates aging and does dna damage.. I'm a religious sunscreen user as well...okay not religious.. but that's what I aim for) I also take a multi ...cuz I'm busy ...so just to make sure that I'm safe...i pop in a multi... I also take iron when I'm on my periods ...

Ate heaps of sugar and candy as a kid, plain rolls, roll ups and shapes for lunch, mum and dad always cooked microwaved steamed veggies and low grade frozen food for dinner. I had low energy, body image issues, socially anxious and had symptoms of depresson and didn't even realise it. Now I eat lots of smoothies, oats, beans, poke bowls, jackfruit, nuts and spices, etc. To cut the story short I now love cooking and my body and what I put in it, I am confident with who I am and never had so much energy in my life (25 yrs)

Those veggie plates are an excellent base. Just add a 2" thick RibEye steak and I'm in heaven. But... not until I get old. I'm only 70 now.

my favourite salad dressing is Rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil, sesame seeds are also good to add, if you don't like lettuce, you can replace it with cut raw cucumbers, or have both
