This is my favorite of all the interviews that I have seen. Three awesome transformations and all in the same family. I'm a 67 year old short Italian and truly inspired by Angel's mother! As usual, perfect input from the 2 of you ! Thank you!

Thank you for this beautiful comment! My mom has inspired all of us, she is a ball of energy and her outlook on life is simply incredible!

[@newlifecalling2233]

@@angelgrier5283 Thank you for your reply. I commented early in the interview being excited almost from the beginning. Now I'm 1 min from the end of the video and I don't want the interview to end. You two are so easy to listen to, fun and inspiring ! I don't do FBook or Igram or Twitter but I will be going directly to your KZbin channel Plant Based Love!

WOW!!!! This interview was just amazing!!! Terry and Angel are sooooo inspiring and such a beautiful couple! I love these interviews which again and again confirm how transformational this lifestyle is what it can do for you. It has changed my life as well and I’ve never felt or looked better! I love cooking this way and it is delicious.... my husband came on board as well (mostly...lol) and he loves it too and is always bragging about my cooking! Ha! Ha! I started out as vegan, then switched to whole food plant based for a while now, and Jill, I just want you to know that your channel was the very first one that started me on this beautiful path, so thank you for all that you do and your delicious recipes! ...AND these inspiring interviews!

This is making me feel so much better because I've had a knee replacement and it did not work and I favored the other knee and they're saying I need a knee replacement on the other knee when the first one didn't work and I do not want it so hearing that it might help even help even after I got a knee replacement that is great!🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏾🙏🏽

Game changers is super inspiring.

[@robinsaxophone232]

Great interview. I found this way of eating four and a half years ago. It’s incredible how something that seemed so limited lead to this amazing abundance and fun, exciting way of eating. And it is a common theme with everyone that really gets into it. It took a bit of time for me to relearn my cooking skills, but now it all clicks and I love experimenting with new recipes. It makes me so happy to hear this couple’s life saving results and see the positive changes in all aspects of their lives. I’m in my sixties and feel better than when I was forty.

[@donnaniles3832]

We have struggled so much over the past 3 years to get back on (and staybon) WFPB. Both my husband and myself find these videos to be such a wonderful tool. Thank You!!

[@janetjohnson998]

They talked about game changers. Is that a video or book? So encouraging. My husband and I are on day three of our change. 15 years ago I was eating this way before I married him. I fell off the wagon in trying to blend two families. I am grateful to be back on the wagon with him now that the kids are gone. Now we will just set an example

I loved this interview! Not only are people confused but doctors are confused too, and they can also be defensive when their patients propose an alternative. I know my doctor was and essentially called the wfpb doctors quacks.. it was very disappointing. I bought her a copy of the Starch Solution and hope that she will take some time to read it.

I am so happy I found this video, I was diagnosed with pre diabetes and told to go on keto diet and I don’t feel good on that way of eating . I want to be WFPB and scared to spike my blood sugar , do you have any advice. I am not on any medications at all, and bought fork over knives book and am so scared to eat starch and carbs, any advice please?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Hi Bonjeani, we don’t offer medical advice but would encourage to find a plant based aware doctor to deal with your prediabetes. My husband was prediabetic and resolved the issue with a whole food plant based diet. We have all been mislead about “carbs” and what that really even means.

[@foxlola1]

Look up “mastering diabetes”.....on Instagram and Facebook. They are diabetics who run a program using WFPB lifestyle......they have an amazing program.....

[@hannahrl]

So so so fantastic! You know, with that "why aren't we being told"... it really is a lot to do with the USDA. I have found recently that Canada's new guidelines have been an EXCELLENT conversation point with some people. Now we can say, look, it's not a conspiracy, but it is the structure of our society that the same agency in charge of promoting meat, dairy and eggs are responsible for issuing dietary guidelines for health, and the nutritional science doesn't support consuming those products. Yet, these guidelines inform not only institutional menu requirements, but also what nutritional and dietetic education looks like from primary school to post-graduate degrees. But, now we can see the contrast with Canada, another major developed nation that has barred industry input in the formulation of dietary guidelines - including Canada's large lentil industry! - and has issued new guidelines with no dairy requirement whatsoever.

I’ve had to eat it as I’d been too weak to make any of the plant based meals I used to and I’ve had to eat something or basically starve. I’m doing better and ready to restart again with very simple easy things . I’d been vegan almost 8 years till I had COVID. Thank you so much for all you do.

I know that not everyone is a believer in God, but I just want to give Him the honor and praise. He created us and gave us plant based foods to eat as you can read in Genesis. That is why plant based works because God designed it to do so.

[@crankiemanx8423]

It's crazy how doctors give medical advice but not nutritional advice ."you need to take this tablet,forever " but they never tell you what food to eat or avoid.most diets will show improvement when you add fresh raw fruit & vegetables.,so imagine just eating all those so it leaves no room for bad food,or animal foods.

[@Geordie504]

@@Chris-kr7gg Almost all Americans get way too much protein and not nearly enough fiber. Protein at the levels in the Standard American Diet (SAD) are way too high and damaging to organs. Whole plants all have all three macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat), along with the micronutrients your body needs. nutritionfacts.org/audio/how-much-is-enough-protein/

WFPL diet is awesome

[@joisea9509]

People in the Blue Zone are not all vegans, but they know that if you eat the way most people do all the time you get sick. Some say moderation, others say special occasions are ok if those occasions are not every single day. We have fucked up because we eat poorly way too often, damn near every day several times a day. No wonder so many people are sick and dying prematurely. I subscribe to the thinking of the group described in the Blue Zone and have lost 170 pounds, kept it off, and occasionally - meaning special events, and within reason or in moderation - enjoy a slice of pizza or a slice of cake. It should not be every day or month. I don't mind having a drink twice a year to celebrate something so I think once or twice a year a piece of cake will not damage me either. And as for meat it should be treated like a condiment, not the main part of the meal if someone wants to partake of it. It, too, should not be consumed every day in my opinion and especially not at every meal. Even people that practice the 80/20 rule are seeing great results. So it is not all about veganism or exclusively whole foods plant based.

[@roxanejohnsondelear9540]

what book did you read? You mention it around minute 20. Game changers was mentioned but I know it is a movie. Is it a book too?

[@plantbasedlove8920]

I read several books, which have all helped us so much. Here are some great ones to review. Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn; The China Study, by Dr. Colin Campbell; How Not to Die, by Dr. Michael Greger; The Starch Solution, by Dr. John McDougall. Start with these and look at the documentaries, which are so helpful and informative. Finally, I would review some of the TED talks around WFPB, such as the talks by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Rip Esselstyn, and many others. Hope this helps!

@@angelgrier5283 thank you for your reply, I am desperate to know as I am trying to seek reversal of plaque build up. I come across so many conflicting views and information that the sugar from plant based and other foods fruits, will cause problems, I am well aware that is mainly due to people's inability to absorb insulin correctly, also other factors as such that we need K2 to remove plaque, also if the calcified plaque is removed it can cause clots etc, also that good fats are important the body needs this and other things I'm being told. I do not know what to believe I am currently reading a book written by a genius in the early 20 century who was far advanced for his time his name Arnold Ehret. I'm just desperate to get better and healthier. So I look forward to your results and wait in anticipation.

[@angelgrier5283]

​@@Chris-kr7gg I agree it can be so confusing. One of the main reasons we are convinced about WFPB is because we tried almost everything over the past 20 years and remained on a slippery slope. When we moved to WFPB, our blood results alone were astounding, not to mention our recovery time, lack of chronic joint pain, and Terry’s BP moving down through natural whole food eating. If I am dreaming please do not wake me up 😊. We will share the results as soon as we get them. I would also recommend reading Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Caldwell Esselysten. In the book he shares real stories and studies, as well as CAC scans with reversal. Thanks again for reaching out, this is a great discussion, which many think about.

The Keto diet is truly insane for so many.

It's so crazy! And, don't forget - not just "low carb", but specifically high fat that has been used a last-ditch therapeutic intervention for pediatric refractory epilepsy for a hundred years... the medical community has known for this long how damaging and even deadly - and only for shorter term use for a condition that's even worse - this is, it's such a travesty that it's become this main stream fad. The Atkins and "paleo" crazes were bad enough, this is even more ridiculous.

I have been vegan for 11 years never lost weight I’m an over eater. Now I’m doing whole food vegan no oil no sugar very little salt for 5 months. I haven’t lost any weight my cholesterol is very high and I have a lot of inflammation. I don’t know what to do any ideas.

[@plantbasedlove8920]

Hi Esther, please review the response I wrote to Pam around some of the strategies we have used in achieving weight loss and maintaining it without deprivation. Also, for your inflammation, there are certain foods that can cause inflammation but it is hard to tell which ones they are. For example, if corn is causing inflammation, how can you tell? What my mother has done in the past, is avoided certain foods for a week or two and then see if that was the issue. I actually used corn as an example because she found this was one of her culprits. Also, tomatoes can sometimes be a trigger, as odd as that is. The only suggestion I can make is to rotate the common foods you eat out for a week or two and see if that helps or if you feel any different. You can find a number of books written by doctors focused on inflammation and WFPB eating as well. I hope this helps!
