Started research on plant based eating and figured it would help by simply reducing my caloric intake if nothing else. I stumbled on your vids looking for ways to kick things up a notch. Never considered how much the oil made a difference. Great results so far, lets see how eliminating oil helps. Thanks for the advice!

I’m talking chevron with techron (imagine if this was a new style of ad lol 😳). So finding less calorically dense foods filled with fiber and protein that fill me up for longer and help get me all those nutrients.

Indoors I am oil-free and added sugar free (my exception is I do enjoy maple syrup on popcorn rarely). I have avoided silicon mats for baking so far. I couldn't find safety research on them for baking, so I have stuck to using paper myself. I also do not limit myself when I eat out (which isn't often). Another exception is if something new comes out, I may buy it and cook it at home, so I might try a new burger (I recently tried the beyond meat burger for the first time), I like to keep up with new stuff, but I do not buy stuff like that regularly, just as a test to see what new stuff people have dreamed up. 90% of the time cook everything for scratch...

True story; I used to eat oil drizzled on bread! I always thought oil was a health food and a staple of cooking. Now I’ve become a lot more aware of how many empty calories it is and I try not to cook with it. I’m definitely trying to switch into more Whole Foods because I’m afraid I’ve been a total processed food vegan! Haha 😂

Hello I’m Val from Manitoba, Canada. January. 1/2023 I started a whole foods plant based diet for my health and came across your channel. I love your channel, I get so many recipe ideas. The other day I saw the one where you and your girlfriend made a few different pizzas and I made the cheeseless one you had in that video it was delicious.

[@jeweladelsberg5866]

I notice that when I consume too much oil, it messes with my skin, and it makes me feel like trash, so i started consuming less of it. just like how i stopped consuming meat and dairy :)

Easier alternative to fries- Boil potatoes till 97% done. Cut them(CAREFULLY) into fries-like slices then air fry at 200C for 12 mins! Perfect EVERY SINGLE TIME, and they NEVER BURN. It’s always SO crispy and everyone in my family loved them. Do try it!

I like to add little oil when cooking rice or grains using absorption method. It helps to separate every individual grain so they don't lump together.

What those two said above... Don't rely on the mock meats and processed vegan foods (although absolutely fine to have occasionally), make sure to eat a lot of whole foods to get the necessary calorie intake that your body needs. Rice and bean meals are a great way to go. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Planned on just watching the video for extra info on the subject without leaving a comment. But I was so happy to see that you mentioned the importance of fats/lipids in our diets upfront at the very beginning that I had to comment. I see a lot of people neglecting to mention it. Even if they themselves aren’t reminiscing fats some people can fall into unhealthy cycles of eating waaaay to little fats from heating oil free videos that aren’t informative enough on that aspect of the topic. Props!!

I haven't intentionally eaten oil for quite some time and have heard from all of the experts; Drs. Esselstyn, McDougall, Ornish, MacGregor, etc., as to the harmfulness of oil. You, however, have put it more clearly and succinctly than all of them (and I respect them all highly). I think the layperson will relate to your explanation very well! Thanks for your videos. Very helpful. I tried your Kichari recipe recently sans oil of course, and we've been making it twice a week and our 6 years old grand nephew loves it! I add fresh tomatoes instead of avocado (which I love) as I'm working on losing weight. Thanks again!

[@loganzub6928]

By the way yams or sweet potatoes dont get crispy because the sugars in them leave a wet coat around it and doesn't allow them to get crispy

[@Addified]

I've actually found that they do go crispy. The sugar turns into a syrup around the outside and caramelises, thus turning the edges crispy. At least this is my experience.

You should totally make your own stock from old veggie scraps esp if using in place of oil! I just stock pile my scraps in the freezer and then once a month make a batch - literally just put in it on the pot for two hours whilst I read a book. Then freeze in jars keeping one in the fridge to have an endless supply of stock to use in place of oil!

[@Baz87100]

Damn, never knew olive oil had so many calories until today when I looked on the back and searched for this vid. I was hungry when I got home and wanted something quick, so had 4 pitta breads and used 5 table spoons of olive oil. 5 table spoons contained 613 calories and 68g of fat. Wtf... Now I realise that when I used to get junk/fast food it would normally be high in calories, but it's obvious that's because of the amount of oil used. Great video, thank you for opening my eyes

[@Homebusinessesideas]

it doesnt matter the calories still very healthy for ya this man is misinformed olive oil is part of the blue zones Mediterranean diet and there good fats

It has a lot of calories because of the fat. Fat is higher in calories than carbs or protein. That doesn't mean that fat is unhealthy, though.

@@Homebusinessesideas The mediterranean diet success is not what they eat as much as it is what they do not eat! Olive oil is not the reason they are healthier.

Thanks for explaining this, I often wondered why people go oil free. My concern is that plant oils have the highest vitamin E content of any food. Especially for people with low appetites it can be hard to get enough vitamin E or even enough calories without some oil.

I definitely struggle to get enough calories, especially on work days...

@Barenity I am going to take a moment to help you out.... use your own words.. "Plant oils are the highest in Vitamin E" does that not mean the oils was extracted from a plant? yes it does. so... Just eat the plant in its whole form. problem solved.
