Vegan Health - CALORIE DENSITY & METABOLISM - Stop counting calories!

[@perrydubreuil1514]

I’ve lost 70 pounds doing this .You explain it well my friend .Going to help lots of people great job .

[@SuzyB0901]

I don’t ever eat added sugars. Ever. I’m talking white, cane sugar or even brown sugar which is supposedly “healthier.” We get enough sugar from unburned carbs, from fruit, etc. fruit doesn’t make me crave sugar. Eating sugar (even a 1/2 teaspoon in my coffee) makes me crave more sugar...just like a drug addict.

[@milessharman8518]

@@SuzyB0901 I don't really have sugar either but if someone buys me some vegan chocolate I eat it because it was a gift and I'm not trying to loose weight anyway I just eat like it most of the time to feel good. But i don't have an addiction to sugar so if i have some chocolate or something I'm fine with just having that.

[@TanoHuynh]

I'm trying to gauge the weight loss for my own body size, so please answer if you are comfortable, what percentage of your original weight is that 70 lbs. Much appreciated!

[@damienwilliams8171]

Excellent video, honest info and informative

[@compassionsix]

I’ve seen all the WFPB videos by Greger, Campbell, McDougall, Goldhamar, Klaper etc. and this is the best video for new healthy vegans period, end of story. Nice work Dillon.

[@WellYourWorld]

Wow that is a heck of a compliment, thank you very much!

[@xflyingtiger]

Chef AJ's calorie density talk is pretty good too.

[@shellykaarlela3367]

The VERY BEST video I have seen on this subject. Absolutely Amazing!

[@bigray27]

I’ll have to agree. You’ve summed up greger ect but made it easy to understand. I love gregers app that has helped me but you’ve nailed it.

[@HH-xj8nh]

I agree!!

[@jorats]

I've been vegan for over 6 years now and I still enjoy listening to you. You make so much sense and keep it very realistic for us.

[@WellYourWorld]

I appreciate that very much, Joanne. I try to make my content pertinent for newbies and veterans alike.

[@vicmaine05]

I agree as well, Joanne. I have also been plant based for 6 years and the way Dillon and Reebs present this information is well digested in both our body and mind.

[@yf7670]

Only found you now and it finally makes sense. Do you have a video on Microbial metab for newbies by any chance? Many thanks

[@maryhakkinen6936]

You know I bumped into an old friend the other day and she commented how great I looked. I’ve lost 40 pounds on a plant-based whole food diet. She immediately complained that she had tried the plant-based diet and gained 10 pounds in just a couple months. My response - What the hell were you eating? She obviously had no clue. Seemed confused when I explained how I didn’t eat sugar, oil, processed foods...Amazing how so many people don’t know what I’m talking about when I talk about whole foods. Anyway, I love your videos.

[@Amanda.c91]

Mary Hakkinen didn’t eat sugar? This is where the confusion is coming from. Sugar is alllll carbs. STARCH AND FRUIT are sugar! You didn’t eat any apples or bananas or sweet potatoes or rice? C’mon my people, the sugar phobia has to end. End the confusion. A vegan diet will suck if it’s loaded with FATS and oils and salt. But SUGAR is what is needed by every single cell. We must not talk down SUGAR! Carbs are life. Cellular respiration. Done by every cell for day to day function. The reactant is GLUCOSE and the end product is ATP or energy/vitality/functionality. Again, carbs are life.

[@froandcara]

Amanda Carlson agree but I’m sure she meant added processed sugar

[@WellYourWorld]

Ya when we say sugar we are talking about processed garbage. Obviously no one here is debating whether the body needs carbs/sugars.

[@valerienoyes1756]

@@Amanda.c91 There is a HUGE difference in "sugars". Fructose, sucrose and glucose are not the same thing, nor are they processed the same way in the body. The body has no need or use for fructose and processes it exactly like alcohol. Which is why children today are suffering from non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Watch Dr Lustig's: Sugar-The Bitter Truth.

[@michaelcrossley5661]

@@valerienoyes1756 am I wrong, or doesn't fruit contain fructose? I think you're talking high fructose corn syrup and such. Fructose broken away from the fiber.

[@firmlyplantedcj9962]

I know this is an old video, so you may never see this, and I want to compliment you on your presentation. it is very clear and succint. Identifying salt, sugar (and yes cacoa) as overeating stimulants really struck a chord for me. Thank you

[@HH-xj8nh]

I am late to the party too and I absolutely agree with you!

[@heatherrenney4752]

I'm even later to the party - when Dillon said that, a dusty old lightbulb turned on - heh

[@robinsutton4952]

I’ve been doing the Optivia program and have realized that going Vegan is better for my body and definitely better on my monthly pocketbook. After a recent car accident and losing my appetite, WMW has brought back my desire for healthy foods and how easy it is to cook healthy.

[@jenniferayala1014]

OMG Dillon, THANK YOU! I was feeling lost and very discouraged trying to loose weight as a vegan with so much misinformation. This video is just perfect and exactly what I needed today. I am humbly grateful for the direction and new-found enthusiasm it’s already given me!

[@WellYourWorld]

Aw this is so sweet, thank you so much Jennifer! I hope you get it going if you haven't already begun!

[@03298kjskdjf]

How about making a video about dressings. You could call it 'Easy Oil-free dressings that dont totally suck'. Crappy dressings are my largest impediment to enjoying a giant salad or vegetables without oil. Thanks for considering.

[@brendafitch9589]

0373526asdff Wow ! I so so so agree! I need some ideas as well. I have tried so many and just put them down the kitchen drain!

[@jodowick]

I also agree! This has been the biggest challenge for me too... I need something that replaces creamy dressings!

[@kazaakas]

How can you guys all ask these kinds of questions with Derek Simnett being on KZbin?!!

[@ArtyAntics]

I don’t know if this helps but I cook my beans or lentils in a to article sauce that I thicken it with nutritional yeast and I mix my salad in with my protein and I find I don’t need dressing. If that’s not for you Krocks in the Kitchen have some great salad dressings in their giant salad bowls.

[@fayejordan175]

Walden farms has calorie free dressings

[@RheaAC5]

I appreciate how you elaborate on why certain foods in moderation can be triggers or can cause us to eat more than if we eliminate them, ie-salt and nuts. Very helpful

[@philo5096]

Great vid, one of the best. But you never mention fish or butter or popcorn. Thanx.

[@gioscott2363]

This is by far one of the most informative videos I have ever watched. I have seen them all, Vegan 2017-18, Knives over Forks, etc, but none of them have matched what this short video has done. Bravo sir!

[@ShadareaRapt]

i love how you tackle the "triggers" head on and tell it like it is!

[@michellesweightlossjourney6599]

Oh I needed this! I find myself eating veggies most of the day and then I go crazy for a carb later and end up caving on chips or bread.🤦🏽‍♀️ I need serious help because I have to get this weight off my body and I'm so happy I came across this channel.

[@faithlove106]

I have 100 lbs to loss. I’m stoked after seeing this. I eat everything backwards! I’m checking out your other videos. I learned so much.

[@perrydubreuil1514]

When I feel I’m getting off track I come back to this explanation.Great vid...Thank you

[@etherealenigma2008]

I so wish I had seen this two years ago when I went from a vegetarian diet to plant based life philosophy. I was one of the people you're talking about who was trying to count calories, figure out the really important greens and supplements I needed, etc. I've finally fallen into the mode you described so well of just going with the flow and paying attention to my body. Great video. Enjoyed it very much. Oh and I'm 100 pounds now and never hungry, since I stopped driving myself crazy. I'm only 5'1" so it's a good weight for me. Thanks so much for all your well thought out videos.

[@sandralea9727]

So eloquently put...I’m still transitioning and need to hear how simplistic it really is to do calorie density eating...you are showing, how obviously, it WILL work! thanks once again Dillion ...so appreciate all your vids...I CAN DO THIS!

[@annaprigliano221]

Absolutely love this, have started this type of program two weeks ago when I finally got fed up with issues of high blood pressure and medication that wasn't working. It's amazing how my doctor never even talked about my eating habits. Have changed a lot in the food pantry, the best part being that with these changes my kids now snack on nuts, fruits and eat salads everyday. Thank you for taking the time to explain this, it really helps me in that I am not freaking out in the overload of information. Will be getting your cookbook.

[@carriefilion794]

“Recreate our environments.” That’s a gold nugget right there.

[@hmgibb]

I really appreciate this video. I found it so helpful and the way you laid out the information...simple and precise. I'm so sick of hearing about the next weightless craze and how it affects society's health. Thank you for what you're doing!

[@shannaredfeather]

Thank you for this!! I went vegan two years ago and sadly fell into the “standard American vegan diet” and went off the Whole Foods and started with all the process vegan foods. I’m back to plant based diet (May 19th, 2020) from when I first went vegan and lost 70lbs. I got 100lbs to go and I’m back to the basics. Thank you I needed to hear this. I’m going to binge watch your channel ❤️

[@danielleharabin4073]

I’ve watched countless videos about calorie density but your video really clicked with me. It went a bit deeper than the science. The examples about sriracha and cacao, for example really made sense. Thanks for a great video! I have bookmarked this one.

[@antiquelkennedy6509]

Awesome video! I've sent it to everyone in my family, so they can follow you. I appreciate the simplicity. I've lost 10lbs in 14 days. Thank you for your wisdom and humor!

[@robertjacobs861]

Great video! So helpful and so simply explained. I initially lost about 10 pounds after going plant based with my husband, and then I stopped and have been stopped for quite a while. Why? All of the reasons you explained, especially adding in non-compliant foods, eating higher density foods, and straying from eating as much from the green part of this chart, so no surprise. My husband lost all of the weight he needed to lose and has managed to keep it off even adding in the plant based “meats” and using olive oil, etc. Then i began eating more of those same things, which negatively affected my goals. Thank you for the reminders about how to successfully achieve the full health I desire. Louise

[@Deepika1001]

This is by far, probably the best video I have ever seen. I’m going to save this to my Favourites and watch it everyday.

[@WellYourWorld]

Thank you very much, very kind!

[@michaels5705]

I so wish I had been taught this as a kid, but then I was raised on a beef farm with parents that used real butter on any vegetable we ate. Thanks for the video, It's not my first exposure to calorie density, but it was the clearest! Thank you so much. PS: I like the beard - why did you shave it off?

[@JokerLurver]

I do count calories using the my fitness pal app. When I do not, I do not lose weight. The counting keeps the calorie density concept in the forefront of my mind and helps me make the right choices. I find I grow complacent if I don't actively keep track of myself. Once I reach my goal weight, I would like to stop counting, but until then I find it is a useful tool that encourages more veg and fruit and teaches me the calorie density of all the foods I eat. As long as you don't obsess over numbers, I think it is a positive resource and shouldn't be necessarily discouraged. I appreciate all you do for the community!

[@awula5385]

Dillon, I just found your videos today, and they're awesome. I started with your comparison of Dr Fuhrman and McDougall diets, and you really lifted a burden for me, because I've been agonizing about the very issues you tackled. This video is also spot on! Thank you very much.

What a great talk! I have been following whole food program for a month and a week using Dr. Greger's daily dozen as a platform. I FEEL so good i really can't believe it! I enjoy eating again instead of feeling tired, guilty or hungry. I can snack on veggies while i cook and not count calories. All the spices. I just tried black cumin... Your talks inform and relax me. I enjoy listening to your videos so much. Thank you.

[@donnadurham8045]

I've been on and off a wfpb diet for about 2 years. I have lost weight but gain some back when I stop eating healthy..of course. A few days ago I began to watch your videos. I had knowledge of the information you shared already, but I felt like I was hearing it for the first time. As a person who always asks why, I gained a deeper appreciation for eating healthy. I feel motivated as never before. Today is day 2 of being back on a wfpb diet and I feel better already. I subscribed to your channel today and I know I can do this. Just wanted to thank you.

[@pamfox4118]

Thank you SO MUCH for showing how to figure calories per pound!!! This really helped me see how an "innocent" looking thing (one slice of dry sour dough toast-which contains NO oil) is something I need to stay away from!! I was SHOCKED to find out that it is 1,009 calories per pound 😮!!! I've known about the calorie density chart but was struggling to know how to figure calories per pound so I was eating things like this and not realizing just how far above the 600 calories per pound I was going. I thought that without the oil in it, it wouldn't be as bad as "regular" bread. Now I know. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

[@gailvanderwalde9597]

Very well said. I have found that I by watching these videos and becoming more and more acquainted with this Vegan lifestyle I naturally gravitate to the foods that feel good in my body. Perhaps a little more intuitive.I’m not sure.In any case your video is very informative and this is helpful. It is also good to recognize that this is a process and although I have only been Vegan for 7 months now ,my tastes have change.My cravings are almost non existent. It’s a slow progression that not only is transforming my body ,which was pretty fine in the first place,but changing the way I see our planet.,our animals etc....it is such a personal journey for each individual that I really don’t talk about it all that much.I really do appreciate however watching you share your knowledge and your cooking skills. Thank you 🙏😊🇨🇦🕊

Yes, after losing 55.5 pounds in a year, I hit a plateau on the (vegan) 16/8 IM fasting plan even after eliminating added salt and oil. I'm eliminating all starches for 10 days and 6 days in I've lost almost a pound a day so .. changing things up does help. Thanks. 🌹

Love calorie density. I don't have to eat less. All I have to do is eat healthy starches, vegetables, and some fruit if I want. What's so nice about this is that the foods that are the lowest in calorie density, are also the highest in nutrition. It's a win/win!! Plus, as you show, it all is very tasty. I use red pepper flakes to give my food some zip... therefore don't need to get into the commercial sauces... for now. I get off track too, and wonder what's going on, so it helps to hear it again.

If someone cannot eat lentils and beans due to immense digestion problems can we stick to brown basmati rice as no problem there ! I agree if someone cannot control his nut intake better NO NUTS , at least in the house ! Coconut oil and all the promotional it gets on the internet ! This is why it is so easy to get mislead. Thank you for sharing . Keep yr videos coming pls 😍

I‘ve had a vegetarian diet for 40 years. I have listened to people talk about calories and also listened about carb diets. Which is correct or do both work? The carb people say nuts are good but I can see in this chart they have a lot of calories. The carb people say fats don’t create weight gain but rather it’s the carbs that are turned into sugar and stored. The two ideas seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum. Thanx for the video

[@WellYourWorld]

I’m right. They’re wrong. Simple simple but only one way to find out. So the choice is yours! 😊

[@TheseusTitan]

@@WellYourWorld Thank you for your reply. People are losing weight eating low carbs so could both work as far as losing weight? Maybe when they eat low carbs they are also eating food with a low caloric count? I’m just guessing and throwing it out there. Do you know the answer?

I don't want to eat tasteless food FOREVER. I'm still going to try this and continue to look into this so that I can still enjoy my food, just healthy food.

[@denagustafson6070]

My two cents - what I’ve noticed is when we stop eating processed foods, fresh, whole, natural foods taste far better. We start to crave them. It’s possible that the more processed foods we eat, the longer it will take to clean our systems. I wish you all the best on your journey, Gamma Mghee!

This is excellent advice. I’m 59, vegan 3 years, 50% raw vegan. I am 5 ft 3 in and 170 pounds. I don’t really look fat but have too much tummy weight. I lost 10 pounds of COVID lockdown weight so far just by having a green smoothie each day with chick peas or other beans added and not cheating by ordering pizza. LOL But I have plateaued at 170. I have been having salads with lots of EV olive oil and eating prepackaged sweetened oatmeal plus adding brown sugar. Since drinking the green smoothies, my blood pressure is almost back to normal (135/85). I take no medications. I eat within a 6 hour window.. I walk with my dogs on my property everyday. But it is really hard to lose weight at my age. I’m able to lose a pound every 2 weeks. I am trying to get down to 140. I used to weigh 110-120 in college but I think those days are well behind me now.. I think it will take me about a year from now to get to 140. I like what you said about jumpstarting metabolism with a water fast. I am also going to pull back my eating window to 4 hours. Thanks for all the good advice and knowledge. 🙏

I'm currently on my second week of eating whole foods. I LOVE this video it's so simple compared to all the other "diet" plans I've tried and the counting obsession with calories. Thanks for your videos so right on.

This explanation was so helpful! Thank you!

Thank you. Am learning. Need to lose 50 lbs. Have lost at least 40 lbs. Was a size 10 but went up to 230 and stopped weighing. Lost down to 160 and weight slowly creeping back. Now around 190. Lots of issues. Loss of family members, a reaction to an antibiotic, illness injuries, etc. Thank you.

I hope that you succeed Gretchen, I need to lose a similar amount.

[@gretchenburton7184]

Fuhrman says that nuts and seeds have such overwhelming benefit that we should always include them. I definitely hear what you're saying with food addictions, though, because I am absolutely the worst food addict I have ever met. However, even I do not think I would be unable to do only flax seed, for instance, adding a tablespoon of ground flax to each meal. Actually, I do better with flax than with avocado or any other fat source. And since fats make us absorb 10 times the number of nutrients and since nutrient adequecy is a factor driving our hunger satiation, too, we definitely want to get in a non-addictive, health-promoting fat like flax or hemp seeds.

Excellent video. I started following Chef Aj two years ago. Tried her 21 day challenge and lost 12 lbs. Just like that. But I’m on and off again. Trying to get motivated again. Thank you for this video! :)) Time to get back on track!

[@redmaren72]

Thank you for this! Simplified finally! I learned about the hot sauce and the cocao powder 😲 that would be an area for me to re-examine! 🤦‍♀️😝 thank you!
