Top 10 Tips for Max Weight Loss from Dr. McDougall

[@CHEFAJ]

Bread is actually only about 1,500 Calories Per Pound. You said 2,500 I believe which is the calorie density of chocolate.

[@WellYourWorld]

Ah dang it, I will see if I can add a subtitle through youtube. Good catch! Sometimes I get rambling and don't even hear myself talk. Hope you are doing well!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks and no worries. Didn't mean to sound critical, I teach this stuff every day so I caught the error. You seem lie a very fun person!

[@WellYourWorld]

Haha I think I am fun. Yes Chef AJ, I know who you are, I have your book and am awaiting your next one! Keep doing that you're doing! XO

[@Crazydoglady.]

HI! :)

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you! It will be out soon/ You do great interviews so when it's out if you would like to I am game. Where do you live?

[@brandiphillips5775]

1. Fill up on non starchy vegetables or fruit then move to starch 2. 50/50 veg/starch 3. Reduce added sugar and salt because they cause overeating 4. Eliminate animal foods 5. Eliminate higher fat plants 6. Eliminate added oil 7. Eliminate high calorie dense foods- muffins, dried fruit, biscuits, popcorn, puff cereal- anything processed etc 8. Don't drink your calories including smoothies. Eat veg as and fruit whole 9. Eat until you are comfortably full, don't starve or stuff yourself 10. Avoid sedentary and exercise at least 30 minutes moderately a day. Heavy workouts aren't necessary. Weight loss happens in the kitchen

[@toddkrump4520]

Brandi Phillips what about the fruit and starch food combining It’s a no no !

[@revatherealestateagentandr8964]

Thank you for posting.

[@erickamoore7332]

Does nobody read His video description? He already broke everything down. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@renee3044]

Can I start my day w/soup out of a can of is that considered processed foods?

[@Vegnana]

@@toddkrump4520 why?

[@jeannetteshealthyover50]

Weight loss comes from eating the right food...yes! I did a video on how I lost 70 lbs just changing to a plant based diet, with no exercise, no counting calories, no “dieting,” no eating below the hunger drive. Once I lost 55 lbs I wanted to move more and started walking, which I continue to do because I like it. Moving the body is important, without a doubt. But the biggest changes for me came from changing what was on the end of my fork.

[@Sogal60]

I kill chickpeas Are you open to coaching me and getting me on the right track?

[@BulldogDynasty]

I agree with you and same here. I found as soon as I changed what I was eating I was losing more weight despite less exercise. All my walking now is natural stuff like to and form the train station and the shops. I have the energy to do that. I used to go for hour walks and they did nothing for me.

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

wow, that's awesome! that gives me inspiration...

[@TheASMRlogs]

Down 75lbs.. Just now starting to get active. You're completely right.

[@WellYourWorld]

That is awesome!

[@lorrainehannon7631]

How long did it take you?

[@MoonFireGypsy]

That's so true, Last year I walked 8-13 miles a day including a moderate hike in a canyon and 2 hours at the gym doing cardio, weights and a workout class, ate sem-healthy but still drank a coke a day and the scale hardly budged. Now I'm stuck at home due to a back injury and can hardly move but I'm losing weight due to eating healthy whole foods such as fruit and vegetables and have lost more in a month than I did the 5 months I busted my ass off last year!!

[@BulldogDynasty]

same her except the injury part. Once I went plant based the weight dropped off.

[@Jimboaxle]

Thanks for sharing that! Well said!

[@happycook6737]

And eating whole foods plant based with no SOS reduces inflammation in the body!

[@marysusa6985]

You look so healthy. Your eyes, skin and face say it all. You're a great representative of what a healthy lifestyle can look like!

[@JaneDay]

Just moved to a plant based diet after losing almost 13 st. I see this as a way of keeping the weight off. Wish I had seen sense on the way down to my current 9.5 stones. I sure made it hard for myself. God bless Dr McDougall and your channel. Thank you Jane

[@stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885]

Nice summation of the great work that Dr. McDougall does. Everyone should watch this video. The fact that terrible ketogenic/paleo/low-carb diets are the new fad is depressing. The answer is so simple... yet, as Dr. McDougall himself says: "People like to hear good news about their bad habits."

[@Atheria444]

When I've asked personal trainers what's the biggest issue (food vs. exercise) that creates a slim, fit body...overwhelmingly they say that food is the MAIN thing that determines your weight...to the tune of 80% vs. only 20% as exercise.

[@WellYourWorld]

Totally.

[@yoso585]

Well Your World Yeah. Can’t outrun a bad diet.

[@nancydublin9666]

Saw your video on Soup & Salad yesterday. You are amazing! And I go along w/everything you're saying even the parts about other people NOT being excited about going SOS . . . and vegan. Your instructions on using the knife to chop, how to measure, and all of it just impresses me to no end! I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and methods. I am not on FB any longer and want to subscribe to your channel whenever you get that going! I look forward to it immensely. Your looking out for your mother's health is so touching and kind. I'm a senior citizen with CAD & PAD, so this method of cooking and prepping food is absolutely essential to me.

[@hannabaal150]

It's always good to hear from someone who has had success with a change in diet. I hope you will continue to communicate your personal results and findings. I eliminated processed sugar and wheat and dropped 25 lbs in 6 weeks and have kept it off. I eat lots of non starchy veggies, lots of animal products, lots of fat. I also practice Intermittent Fasting. I feel better. My labs are good. i stopped Lipitor and my blood pressure meds after consulting my doctor. I'm taking in more calories than I was previously and I'm losing fat. It works for me.

[@paulb4496]

Thanks Dillon! I lost 50 pounds on McDougall diet and now I have gained 20 pounds by switching to the Pritikin diet. Your videos are motivation for me to lose that 20 pounds. Thanks again!

[@tullochgorum6323]

"You don't need to do 2 hours of mountain climbing..." True, but I have a lot of weight to lose, so after I sorted out my diet I decided to accelerate the process by hitting the hills for a few hours a day after work. I've found that I lose around 1lb of fat for each 3 hours I spend in the mountains. Accelerating the process like this is great for morale, and I've lost up to 9lbs in a week. Clearly this won't be practical or desirable for most, but if you enjoy a form of moderate exercise like hillwalking or cycling that can be sustained for a few hours at a time, it sure does speed things up.

[@simeoda]

Walking is part of the reason I lost 30 lbs

[@petrawhitmore4751]

Great short and concise vid. Only thing I’d add is that whilst diet is the main factor in weight loss, doing exercise such as a walk or weight training is super important for your body as well as your mind. I definitely encourage more activity but not with the goal of weight loss, just to incorporate it as a new part of your life 🙏

[@WellYourWorld]

Completely agree!

[@cristiecarter5055]

Wondering how I missed this! For sure it is going in my "share" file. Thank you for another helpful lesson in eating well.

[@paulb4496]

Awesome video Thanks Dillon! I love your "How to nuts and bolts approach " I was a junk food junkie and I watch a lot of videos to stay motivated! Well done!

[@okawidharta9247]

Its true i lost 8.2 kgs a month without any single exercise just eat right and i love it😊

[@judyclifford7238]

Love Dr Mcdougall....keeps things simple!

[@dneeceann]

I just wanted to say how much I love your videos. They really help me to stay on track and laugh along the way. I had to pause this video to go buy a well your world tshirt. 🙂 Now I must continue watching.

[@WellYourWorld]

Ah thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!!

[@gracehc9356]

Thanks for your video. You got straight to the point and outlined everything so clearly! Thanks for sharing the information

[@chuck21222]

I just bought the book on Amazon. I've been Vegan for about 3 months now, but still can't seem to lose my gut. I'm hoping this will help. Thanks for the video as always!

[@WellYourWorld]

Yes, cutting out oil and keeping it whole is what will make all the difference. I didn't lose any weight when I went vegan, but it all dropped off when I went Starch Solution.

[@bigsexymama1]

Same here...I’m hoping this helps get rid of my bulging and hanging belly. Been doing this for 15 days now...gonna trust the process! How’s it going with you?

[@kevincurry7294]

This was a really helpful video. I don't like the idea of cutting out bread but I know you're right. I'm still overweight despite a vegan diet. I have a big appetite so this sort of advice is really valuable. As I am sure it is for a lot of people. Very clear, very helpful. And NO OIL!!! lol

[@WellYourWorld]

Glad to hear this was helpful! Thank you Kevin!

[@isabellezablocki7447]

Kevin, Go for it. it is worth it.

[@judyclifford7238]

Kevin Curry dr mcdougalll doesn’t say cut out bread...but the extra fats yes for further weight loss

[@HealthyEmmie]

This is a great video - very informative. Thank you!

[@pattigee1]

One of the best explanations I've heard. Just excellent, thank you.

[@vinodgujja4268]

i eat one avacado a day and lost 36 lbs in 8 months, triglycerides down to 170 from 477, waist down to 30 from 34inches, avacado keeps me siatiated, i am eating salad with apple for lunch and other fruits for snacks. zero processed foods.

[@WellYourWorld]

Excellent!! Very nice

I love avocado. No way I'm giving them up. Things are super healthy as well.

[@MrDcc1234]

Thx! As per chef aj, fruit is a trigger for some of us food addicts and needs to be limited as well. As chef aj says. Vbb- veggies before bkfast😁

[@WellYourWorld]

Love it 💪

[@quitebald]

Been almost 100% plant-based over a year. Have only lost 20 lbs and am very discouraged as I need to lose at last 40 more. I have a vegetarian cardiologist who recommends Greek yogurt and tofu so I add more protein to my diet. Not sure I want to go down that route as I have been avoiding all dairy and don't want the gut issues. This seems very easy to follow and I see my pitfalls (nuts, popcorn, bread, etc.)

[@Michelle7.17]

You made a really great 👍🏼 video. It was the perfect amount of information for me😁

[@maryg3143]

I re-viewed this and can't thank you enough for going over the 10. It's a great reminder! Thank you!

[@Aria-Invictus]

I would disagree on the green smoothies. At least for people who want to get a high density of vitamins/minerals/fidonutrients via dark green leafy vegetables like kale. At that point eating greens as a smoothie is really not about calories but nutrient intake. The calories would be so low in the first place, and the smoothie help eliminate so much volume because of the amount of recommended nutrient intake from the greens is really not feasable for the average person even when boiling or cooking or eating those greens raw. The amount of greens you would have to ingest via a smoothie would still be high even if you throw in an apple before you worried about the calories. Plus smoothies do keep the fiber compared to juices. I can understand if you are making a smoothy primarily of fruits, but one of primarily greens is not a concern calorie wise. Smoothies are better for people who don't like green leafy vegetables.

[@WellYourWorld]

Ya I think this is just fine, thank you!

[@menswellness8507]

I totally agree. I've tried to get a good amount of greens and non starchy vegetables other ways and just cant do it. Green smoothies with a few berries and flax seeds make me feel great and I get my micronutrients in for the day.

[@universalsoldier2293]

I had to chuckle at your spelling of phytonutrients. Is that nutrients for dogs? :)

[@Felipe00162]

Thank you! You translate nutrition really well !!!

[@mamtajaya6457]

Great work brother 💪. Thanks. I am sure it helps many. I am in his program at this time and learnt all these 🙏

[@mariedean4598]

great video. i always have a had time trying to find motivation on losing weight in the past, i discovered it actually have something to do with the diet as well, for example, keto actually made me feel horrible everyday and that is why i dont feel motivated on doing it, one thing i could add is find the right diet for you, like agoge diet for me, if it makes you feel better, it will also make you feel motivated

[@Jimboaxle]

Great video my friend! A very helpful sum up! Keep it up!

[@Deepika1001]

This is a brilliant video. Really helps with you breaking it down like this.

[@homemaker23]

Thank you so much for this great video! Do you have any recipes for soups that would meet the requirement as a good appetizer before the main course?

[@harshas5312]

Can we eat rice?

[@samanthaluc1]

So glad I found your videos!! Question. Where does whole oats for oatmeal fall in all of this?? Thanks!

[@katrichards6541]

Oats are your starch

[@malaplava4865]

Yes you can have oats

[@smallfootprint2961]

Thanks for this great review of these simple steps. Simple but not always easy but, it gets easier with time and adherence.

[@WellYourWorld]

Thank you! And yes I hear that.

[@ernobe4881]

Thanks for that. The starch solution always felt like a ton of bricks on my digestion until I found out that I can start my meals with fruit. I think it's got to do with the electrolytes ( potassium and sugar ) it provides for good blood circulation. Before going 100% starch solution I was drinking an electrolyte solution, and even now adding potassium chloride along with baking soda and salt in the right proportion ( 3/16 teasp. salt, 1/16 teasp. potassium chloride, 1/16 teasp. baking soda and 2 teasp. vinegar per cup of water ) makes the meals a-lot more palatable.

[@alchemist585a]

Agree with 9 out of the 10 points. The exception is your explanation of the smoothie vs whole fruits. On weight basis one serving of fruit (say 100 grams) provides the same number of calories & the same amount of fiber whether taken as whole fruit or as a smoothie. The difference is that the smoothie will probably be digested a little faster and the rise the blood glucose level may be a little higher and may occur a little earlier than when taken as bites of whole fruit.

[@WellYourWorld]

Ya sounds good. I think for some people smoothies open the door for consuming more, compared to if they’d eaten it whole and felt satisfied with less. But like for like as you explained it, probably not much weight loss difference.

[@carinaschmitt1]

That is so helpful! Thank you 🤗

[@WellYourWorld]

Hi Joan, thank you so much!

[@kiwifeijoa]

Great tips from Dr McDougall and it's great that you gave your own examples of them. You forgot to say (kidding) that while at first eating like this seems like a chore to some people, very soon our bodies adapt and the food tastes absolutely Delicious! You can see that in your videos, lots of yum involved. :-)

[@WellYourWorld]

Totally! And that is a great point. I forget that part of my audience watching might still be on the fence and therefore would like to hear that statement as well. Great tip!

[@KirstinLillynn]

This is so true!!!!!! My taste buds have changed so much and I'm not salting any of my food and love the true taste of most things now.

I love, love, love, your intelligent but basic explanation on eating healthy. I'm a newbie, yet this doesn't seem scary or anxious causing like previously when I 'went on a diet'. So I hope you don't mind becoming my 'guru' for health/wt loss! I've also seen some of your cooking videos. They are well explained, but I admit your man style of cooking makes me chuckle!! I believe this journey will be fun and good for me. Thank you.

[@WellYourWorld]

ha ha thank you, I never thought of it as a man style. I think it is a pretty solid style for maintaining a great diet without making everything fit for a dinner party. Thank you for the support!

[@laura2842]

[@downbntout]

Fat loss is never just about stomach fill. There are unmet mental/heart needs driving it. Ask any heavy person how often they eat past fullness to stuffed-ness, even pain.

[@Profile.4]

A lot of it is emotional. It's hard.

[@downbntout]

[@catherinebell122]

Good job! Thanks for the quick summary.

[@WellYourWorld]

[@greggray3741]

If you travel a lot, what are good fast food type items? A friend recommended baked potatoes from Wendy’s, Fresco Taco Bell items & veggie sandwich’s from Subway.

[@frankmanto670]

As always I'm in agreement with him. The only thing he said that I would tweak is that I don't find smoothies to be bad...but that's ONLY if you don't find yourself eating more calories due to the smoothie not being filling enough. Dr. Greger, Dr Fuhrman....etc., all have smoothie recipes in their books. So, If overeating is not the case, then a smoothie is fine

[@HH-xj8nh]

Yeah and I think what makes the smoothie effective is if it's more of a green smoothie, you know with greens, cucumbers, celery, parsley, ginger, for example, and water as the base.

[@TashJansson]

Also, sure, in many cases eating the produce non blended is slower, and you can chew it, and you don't pulverize the cell walls and allow your GI tract to work it. But you take one of those Eat to Live smoothies and they're like, "a full bunch of kale plus a whole head of lettuce with half a banana and some berries"..... those smoothies take me TWO HOURS to finish. They're thicc, and they're not even sweet, and to be perfectly honest, there's no other way I will be eating a whole head of lettuce a day if not blended into oblivion.

[@ntajhya9185]

Great tips . Makes a lot of sense . Thankyou

[@SH-sy9qt]

Hi there all. Glad l found this channel. Coming off a 15 day water fast. And want to do this healthy way of eating. Apart from the food plate ratio. Any advice or suggestions? All would be welcomed🙏❤

[@elsagonzalez8007]

Dilan, thku for sharing this good information I was stuffing myself with Avocado, nuts/seeds, olives thinking they would help me loose weight.

[@verygood7155]

I thought exercise and brisk walking had little to do with actual weight loss and is primarily meant to help move your body parts around to help digestion and elimination, but it's what you are eating that determines actual weight loss.

[@WellYourWorld]

Thanks for this video! I had a question. Can added oils lead to high blood pressure? I have been vegan for 2 years and still have high blood pressure but I am switching to a wfpb/mcdougal plan and I am going to eliminate all of the processed foods I eat. Im hoping that by getting rid of the added oils my BP will finally regulate. Thanks!

[@WellYourWorld]

Yup this is the way to go. Oil will definitely increase blood pressure. It will drop quite quickly. Hope you’ll join us in the well your world Facebook group.

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

Thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate that. It gives me hope that by ditching the processed foods and added oils I can hopefully get my BP to normal levels. I joined your Facebook group as well. Thanks again!

[@JohnWilson01]

Thanks for this video. It was incredibly helpful for me but can some one answer two questions for me. First off can I have shredded wheat and grapes nuts as my cereals? I use unsweetened almond milk with about one tablespoon of pure maple syrup. Lastly no one ever discusses when to stop eating before bedtime. Im assuming we should use the general guide line of 3 hours before sleeping. Is this correct? Thanks again.

[@fidelkva4810]

I know it’s an old video, but bread is LESS calorie dense than whole starches like oats. Dried fruit is very nutrient dense and has tons of fiber, so it should be included in anyone’s diet.

[@markbarbdearman2157]

Not if you’re diabetic & and need to lose weight…I am both..a bowl of broccoli & starch for breakfast, then starch & veggies for the next meal, with a small amount of fruit for dessert…combinations are endless.

[@gramps5157]

I tried McDougall's diet and I had to finally dump it because it was not helping my blood sugar. I ditched all the starchy foods and now my blood sugar is reading in the 80's. I eat mostly vegetables, small amount of nuts and some beans once a day with a meal for fiber. No oil but I do eat 2 eggs for breakfast. This is what works for me.

I hate beans is it possible to go hclf if I don’t like beans for protein or no chickpeas cause I hate them !

[@cdweightlossvlogs]

I know this is late and you probably already know the answer, but for anyone else reading this comment... YES. If you hate beans, you don't have to choke them down to stick wtih a HCLF diet. There's protein in just about everything on a plant-based diet, so you'll still get plenty of protein eating foods like corn, oatmeal, rice, sweet peas, potatoes, veggies and more. There are also so many different types of beans and legumes that you might be able to find a variety that you actually like - or maybe find a way of preparing them that tastes better to you.

Do you have visual slides on all these tips I can show people? These tips are great

[@rhondakayjones9301]

I gained weight when I went on a plant based diet a year and a half ago and have struggled ever since. I don't want to go back to a standard American diet and I won't because I felt terrible, but here's why I think I have gained weight: 1. I quit smoking about 6 months prior to that; 2. I am overeating (which I haven't experienced before); 3. I work at least 60 hours a week and am a full-time realtor; 4. I have ADHD; and 5. I have struggles being perfect. So.......that's a lot of excuses, but I honestly think that I that when I quit smoking and drinking Diet Coke (which is how I self medicated to boost my mood for the last 30 years (i.e. dopamine levels), I have now started to chase a dopamine boost with food and I gained weight. I know it sounds like a sorry excuse, but its how I function. I just have to figure out a way around this without going back to taking ADHD medicine.

[@WellYourWorld]

Rhonda Kay Jones I think you sound very self aware which is fantastic. It may be time for a one hour session with Dr Lisle. You’ve already tackled to hardest challenges, and now you just need that extra boost. Esteemdynamics.com

[@rhondakayjones9301]

I have considered contacting him. That's a great idea because my general practitioner and most doctors who specialize in ADHD treatment advocate a high protein diet to to help increase dopamine and serotonin levels.

[@kiwifeijoa]

And the good news is that, if you keep going, the overeating could gradually decrease. Dr Lisle does sound like a great person to help you.

[@asavcg]

You should check out Dr Natasha Campbell and her book "Gut and Psychology Syndrome."

[@kajolxx]

it's not the plant based diet what let you gain it's your shifting your smoking & diet coke addiction after quitting to food addiction , changing nutrition don't fix your seed of addictive behavior, you need more focus of addiction and how to handle it , I went similar way from smoking to over eating , till i won the battle by starting treat my addictions

[@diannerenn3462]

Very helpful. One question: no tofu or tempeh?

[@ValseInstrumentalist]

I've had fluctuating weight all my life--I was always generally 20-40 pounds overweight, hovering around 30, with a diet heavy in rich foods. Years ago I became quite svelte by eating basically only vegetables with a bit of tofu or cottage cheese. Then my job changed and I had access to free leftover catered lunches most days, so I went all the way up to 190. I went WFPB last year and lost twenty pounds with all starch and fruit, with little vegetables. But after weekly cheating with chocolates, fake chicken, and such, I'm back up to 180. Now I'm realizing that I need to conquer this plateau with more vegetables.

[@WellYourWorld]

Wonderful realization. What can I do to encourage you further? I am doing live cooking demos that are interactive and I started them especially for people in your situation. Would love to hear you feedback and what would help you best succeed. This is my life.

[@ValseInstrumentalist]

Well Your World I know what to do--I've done it before, just without the aid of starches. Now that I know rice, beans, and potatoes aren't bad for me, I bet I can sustain a vegetable-heavy diet far better than I did years ago.

[@elizabethbrzek]

is brown rice or quinoa pasta included in the list of no=no's? It is processed and packaged. I just didn't hear you say the word "pasta", so I am hoping it's ok since it's not wheat flour

[@WellYourWorld]

It should be ok unless it has weird additives or added salt, etc.

[@jedmaple]

I know this is an older video, but I love to comment. In Dr. Mcdougall's Starch Solution it talks about a study with bread and adding it to your diet and so I don't fear bread. You were also mentioning guzzling HUGE amounts of calories with smoothies. My blender can hold maybe 4 bananas, a cup of mango, cup of kale and if I mush it down a bit of pineapple and I will be full for a long time. If you do the math, I don't see this as drowning in calories. And what a great meal for the hot days of summer. Maybe time to rethink the demonization of smoothies. It's like something that the old folks don't think the kids should be doing.

[@starchild5009]

What do I eat in the winter? No fruits or veggies grow where I live.

[@WellYourWorld]

Potatoes, rice, beans, lentils, quinoa, corn.

Thank you for this. I feel like Im doing everything for maximum weight loss already, but I think I've hit a plateau :( I've lost 16 pounds since Jan but I would love to drop another 20. I am going to take the advice on smoothies b/c I make a green one a couple times a week. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm going to trust the process.

[@WellYourWorld]

Keep with it. Dr Goldhamer always says that women hold their weight much more efficiently than men. January is a short amount of time. I think you’re on the right track. Keep eating the low calorie density foods but don’t let yourself feel hungry or unsatisfied by depriving yourself of the whole starches.

[@KirstinLillynn]

Thank you! I definitely plan to stay on this path. I'm super active and feel like I'm eating the right amount of foods. I love the Vegan lifestyle all together and feel good. Your videos help keep me on track! :)

I’m having the same problem. That’s a lot of weight to loose since January. It took me 10 months to loose 20 pounds. I plateaued at 163 and I increased my exercise. I want to be around 140.I’m trying to burn around 500 calories and the weight is starting to come off again but it is a struggle. Walking is the best thing for me and making sure you get your heart rate up into fat burning mode. Hope you can find something that works for you.

Does anyone know someone offering coaching that is certified by McDougall program? Thanks

When eating legumes like lentils and chickpeas, do they count as a starch? And can you combine them with other starches? For example...if I am doing the 50 50 plate, can I do 50 green veg, and then 1/4beans and 1/4rice? I want to add a cup of legumes to every meal,and just wondering if that technically accounts for most my starch? 😵

[@daliajnani1877]

Those are starches . They said to do. Plate of 50 50 which is half non starchy veg and half starchy veggie

Great video 👍

Hey, what camera, microphone, lighting do you use please ?

[@An_Urban_monk]

Regarding smoothies and juicing. There is no difference in the calorie density of smoothies vs whole fruit. Think about it. I put an apple in a blender or I eat an apple. Same exact thing. Blenders don’t change calories. You just need to consume the liquified forms slower if you are concerned about things like blood sugar spikes. See Dr. Gregor's summary of the evidence based research on that one.

[@WellYourWorld]

I agree blenders don’t change calories but turning it into a drink makes it a lot easier to get more calories that you otherwise probably wouldn’t have managed to eat if left whole. My own personal smoothies are more calorie dense than the whole foods I eat because I include a lot of fruit and nuts, for example.

Thanks for this summary. Can you give some examples of the first half of the plate vegetable?

[@i.e.presents638]

Erika Zimmermann. Cruciferous veggies (like any sort of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts) or greens (chard, kale, spinach, dandelion greens, etc.) would be great options.
