[@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!!

[@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.

[@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

[@michaelbatt3697]

I have been WFPB for over 2 years and my weight hasn't budged, I finally get it...thanks so much

[@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.

[@carriefilion794]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@perrydubreuil1514]

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

[@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!

[@WellYourWorld]

Yes, Sandra, you've got this for sure! Thank you so much for the support!!

[@alexanderlowry5575]

Excellent video. You could not be more clear and concise.

[@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!

[@maryanngargano]

This was one of the best explanation videos I’ve seen. Totally puts all the diets out there and how the body works in perspective. Thank you!

[@karenzeno6361]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve watched a couple of videos on calorie dense food and this was so much easier to understand. I truly appreciate you simplifying the information.

[@ShadareaRapt]

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

[@JJ-xs1oe]

Amazing video! As everyone else has already stated, I have heard this info many times over, but I have to agree that this was the best and easiest way to understand it. Thank you. I am a subscriber and saved your video!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@MultiCII]

Great job on this video! I’m an MD physician with 40+ years experience and extensive background in chemistry and nutrition.

[@Mydaveyzoo]

You explained this better than anyone I've ever listen to. Thank you!

[@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.

[@dawng1922]

Thank you for the perfect video that I can share with my family and friends who just don’t understand the concept of a WFPB lifestyle and calorie density. You've made this easy to grasp. 👍👍👍

[@audracapriola9243]

Thank you Dillon! I have been dousing my food w hot sauce and eating more and more! It was escaping me that the salt was making the food hyper palatable. And, I should know as I am extremely salt sensitive.its always good to hear these concepts reiterated! Thanks again!

[@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 ❤️

[@odetteauclair7571]

Thank you very much Dillon, for this presentation, you explain so well !

[@bethriggs9197]

This is an awesome video! So clear cut and easy to understand. I started WFPB a few weeks ago but wasn’t losing weight and this explains why. Thanks! On my way to a healthier me!

[@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.

Bang on Dillon. Simple and easy to grasp. I grasped this two years ago thank God.I have difficulty explaining how all oils are poison because they are a processed food. They all come back with the olive oil is the only healthy oil and the wonders of the Medeterranium diet. I holiday in Southern Spain all the time and they are all mainly fat! I saw your video with Dr Klapper. Great. I'm hoping you can get that that lovable rogue McDougall on sometime now that he has retired from practice

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.
