Is There a Right Way to Go Plant-Based?

[@dianelapenta7535]

Awesome! I needed this butt kick today. Felt like I was eating to simple but that is the key! Thank you

[@AbbyMunguia]

Simple is just so much better for my lifestyle. Batch prepping potatoes, rice, and salads at the beginning of the week is my method. I actually get lazy to cook recipes 😂. Thanks for the PlantRant. I love these ❤.

[@janetgarcia3273]

Thank you, Dillon. I went PBWF about 8 months ago. This way of eating changed my life at 72 yrs old. I am so grateful to have found it and implemented it. I wish I had heard your short plantrant when I started because I was overwhelmed with TMI. I got stressed out!!! I happen to be tenacious, so I kept going. Your channel really helped me. A couple of people have asked me how to get started. I offer your channel and cookbooks and the Dr. MacDougalls book, The Starch Solution, for knowledge to help ones learn the reasons why and how. I advise them to just stick there or else they will become overwhelmed as I did. I am saving this rant to send to the next person who asks me. Thanks again.

[@luluandmeow]

Well done, Janet x

[@WellYourWorld]

It is easy to get stressed with all the information out there. I am glad you are no longer overwhelmed and we were able to help you on your journey!

Japanese sweet potatoes are my favorite. I eat them plain everyday; oven roasted and cold from the refrigerator. I think they are better cold. They are like dessert. They have red skin and a whitish interior. Delicious! What people new to this way of eating need to understand is FILL UP ON STARCHES! Make 50% to 90% of your plate starches. It's easy. The next big aha = you can eat the same thing everyday or all week. Keep it super simple. Fill up on potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, corn and oats. Batch cook these and have them all week. You can live on these alone for weeks while you figure out the rest. I know ideally you want to eat 30 different plants per week for your microbiome (gut bacteria) to eat. You'll get there. My oatmeal has 5 - Oatmeal, walnuts, fruit (apple or banana or raisins or cranberries), alternative mylk, flaxseed. (cinnamon too!) ) Make a few "template" recipes (like Jeff Novick) = a bag of frozen veggies, a jar of sauce, maybe some beans, add some herbs and spices. Spoon it over a starch. Done. You can even buy frozen or shelf stable rice these days. Red lentil pasta and a jar of sauce is easy and yummy. See Dr. McDougall’s website and read his “Starch Solution” book and youtubes. Join an online group for encouragement and camaraderie like Dillon and Reebs. They make it fun and easy.

[@Albopepper]

I batch cook and then freeze a bunch of it. Various lentils, curries, dal, etc. are easy to cook and freeze. Then thaw out a meal portion and make some rice. Also, stews and soups are a BIG one. Make a big pot, serve with whole grain bread and freeze the rest. After a couple weeks, you can have a dozen DIFFERENT frozen meals. Different meals each day without continual repetition.

[@sweetkitty3249]

Looking back, I'm amazed I that stuck it out following Dr Fuhrman's diet for the first 3 years of eating WFPB. How refreshing to discover your channel. I realized I don't have to wear myself out cooking & worrying about eating Dr Fuhrman's GBOMBS everyday. Most days I naturally get in my GBOMBS, but I don't dwell on it anymore. This May, it will be 6 years since I went WFPB. My health hasn't suffered at all since I switched to your advice. Every year my blood work is excellent.

[@WellYourWorld]

That's great to hear. Keep up the good work!

[@d.morgan9247]

Then there are those who really enjoy exploring the different recipes and flavors, with all the variety and newness. As long as they are keeping it sustainable , i think that is fine too. But i appreciate your words of wisdom.

[@christineferguson3467]

Well Your World is the most common sense, easy to understand WFPB KZbin channel and the recipes are yummy! I especially appreciate your summary of the “healthy diets” that are difficult to follow. I was Nutritarian for 3 yrs but it was tough for my family. I tried to eat Dr Greger’s Daily Dozen and felt like I was eating all day to get it all in, next to impossible. Loved today’s share! Thanks Dillon🥰

[@WellYourWorld]

Thank you so much for your support Christine!

[@belindaknowles7440]

I love a good plantrant!!

[@cindychurch925]

I just want to thank you for EVERYTHING you and Reebs do for us. I LOVE YOU GUYS

[@katmeup7]

This great info applies not only to beginners, but long term WFPB eaters who over complicate their food lives.

[@Francine76]

“Peasant food.” My mom would call some meals that way. (With a smile). Foods she group up with in the depression. They were simple but delicious and a lot like I am eating today as WFPB. You are so right Dillon. Thanks.

[@luluandmeow]

I love peasant food, it makes you feel so good and satisfied, I hate gourmet, fussy concoctions French-style. Spanish food can be very plant-based but minus the olive oil of course

[@lizziedripping71]

Yes peasant food 👍. If you look at medieval recipes many of them were simple plant stews. Wonderful

[@smallfootprint2961]

We love well your world out here. Keeping it simple is really important to me. You help. Thank you. Lynn

[@LauraCastillejos]

This rant was packed with so much good stuff, I'm going to have to watch it twice! Thanks for the video, Dillon!

[@SnowKattCan]

I had a chest freezer full of meat and a pantry full of franken-food when I first went PB. Many of those things I felt protective over because of how difficult some of those items were to obtain due to the pandemic. I felt the pain of letting it all go but once I had an empty fridge, freezer, pantry and started with a clean slate, the inspiration really kicked in. Soon it was all restocked with fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, varieties of dry beans, rices, pastas in visually pleasing glass canisters and the possibilities are endless. Step one was to create the environment to match my goals and the rest took care of itself. 50 yrs old and I look and feel better now than I did in my 20's, 30's, 40's.

[@ambersucces9867]

Thank you really need this encouragement! Im overweight and prediabetic and Ive been vegan since January. You're the only channnel that makes it easy and actually achieavable to reach your goals. Thank you

[@ErikAndAllie]

Just bought all of your cookbooks. I JUST WANT TO DO THIS EASILY! As a father of four the day is BUSY (ages 7, 5, 3, and not yet 1). Just help me eat without having to scale a mystic mountain in Asia to forage three sparkling lavender flows and then milk them for 1 drop of sparkle juice because bottled mystic mountain sparkling lavender flower juice (which is no where to be found when you live in the boonies) is unacceptable. Oy! Thank you for doing all that you guys do!

[@WellYourWorld]

Yes that’s what our channel and content is all about, making it easy. 4 that’s amazing! We have a 2 and a not yet 1. It’s the best.

[@karensullivan869]

These meals are actually better when re-heated! Starch Blaster is the BEST!

Agreed!

[@dianamarie1652]

Right on Dillion! I think for me the hardest things was breaking my fast food fix. I appreciate all ur fast, easy recipes! You and Reebs has been so helpful and so encouraging! You guys rock! Keep up the great work! Oh, btw my husband now eats plant based! Yay!!!

[@WellYourWorld]

[@jeanbrozack7940]

Thanks for the ongoing support! Needed this plantrant to get me back to the great easy way I’ve been eating for the past year thanks to all the posts, love chats and cooking shows. #loveWYW

[@carbupwithkrystle3948]

I’m currently having lentil soup, a banana, & an apple for lunch. Very simple, but I enjoy it. I also have 2 more bananas & a non dairy yogurt for later if I get hungry again. It’s definitely easy to fall into the perfection traps & you make it easy to understand that you don’t have to be perfect at every single meal. LOVE these plant rants 💕💕

[@WellYourWorld]

Sounds like a perfect lunch to me! Glad you enjoyed the video Krystle!

I found pasta that is made of rice flour and corn flour. First time I ate it I didn't feel bloated compared to the regular pasta you can get in the grocery store. I will be buying this from now on.

[@reginamartinez5259]

Thank goodness I found you!!! This makes the most sense of anything I have heard. I have not been able to sustain this way of eating. I have been trying for almost a year now and haven’t gotten anywhere! I am going to give your way and recipes a try. I am so full of hope that I will be successful this time. Thank you for doing this. You really are making a difference.

[@annaburke8537]

I often will heat up a can of beans, can of green beans and a potato and that will be my lunch. I could eat the same pot of soup for 6 days straight...my family is not this way 😭😭 They don't even want to eat healthy at all so I have to make it 🎉🧨✨️exciting ✨️🧨🎉

This is what I need. Simple, healthy, quick

After watching a lot of shows showing the healthy food you should eat, I couldn't figure out how to eat it all in one day. Over whelming! I am glad I found your channel, you make more sense.

This advice is 💯!! Dillon and Reves, Dr McDougall, so many more have helped me learn to improve my life and change my life ❤ I’m not a beginner, and I still meal prep for the week. It keeps me on track. 1 or two meals for the whole week, adding in veggies and homemade hummus for a snack, fruit for a sweet ❤

[@VCurrie]

I love the simplicity of this Thank you

[@JPMasonDun]

I know what you’re saying. I’ve felt guilty for not getting the Daily Dozen in daily. But thank you for saying it’s not the most important thing! I spend so much time trying to get a variety of veggies in daily. So thanks again for saying that I don’t need to do that!!!

Thank you so much for sharing. I went plant based last month . I found in the last week. I have been going back to eating junk food . It is easy to grab and go . I needed to hear this ..ty

[@maryannwabalas510]

First off plant rant, great title. Unfortunately I do not think the people that need to be watching this are. Our whole healthcare system is so messed up with doctors make more money by prescribing drugs as opposed to suggesting to people a healthy lifestyle. For myself though I do appreciate all your videos. Exactly what you are saying about recipe fomo is so true. I try and eat so healthy but at some point getting recipe fomo I thought I should get like a deep fryer. Like oh my gosh that's not how I eat. So I really super duper appreciate you guys emphasizing no salt no oil and no sugar

[@npourciau]

Thank you!!!

[@nancycosgrove4005]

Really good🙂!

[@WeCelebrateEatingPlants]

Woot! :D 🥦❤ And people who insist they need more weight loss start with some salad then steamed non-starchy vegetables then starches and if you're still hungry start again at the beginning, have another serving of salad and then the steamed vegetables and then some starches. We don't ever have to go hungry 🥦❤

[@peter5.056]

I just got my 120 pounds of dry starches - 12 types of legumes and 10 different whole grains. With my 30 or so herbs and spices, there's endless variety! There's literally not enough time in the age of the universe to make all the possible combinations. In fact, every time I make a meal, if I grab a random assortment of legume, grain, herbs and spices, I know for sure that I'm the only person who has ever had that particular dish.

[@WellYourWorld]

That's awesome!

[@michelebridge1126]

I love your plant rants. I adopted your advice to stop over complicating things. I now food prep my veggies and salady stuff into containers so I can just throw a meal together. I also make a recipe and just eat that with whatever from the fridge, and when that’s gone, I make something else. I like to try different recipes and this system works perfectly. Happy days

[@anne1961]

Hi how long does rice and Potato stay ok in fridge rice is high risk food so it scares me it bit ❤

[@hidden909]

I’m definitely not a beginner but I always need to hear this! I get so caught up in thinking if I don’t make a fancy WFPB recipe with all the “proper” foods from Greger and Fuhrman that I’m failing. Freedom is a bowl of beans and a simple salad! Rant on my friend

[@michelebonansinga3165]

[@loriegonta3622]

I wish I had found you when I started it. I am seeing a doctor for this lifestyle but just gave me some websites or movies to watch. I have struggled over the soon-to-be year on this journey. I found your website and I really only eat the same meals over and over. I am going to do a stewish with my veggies and taters...along with either tofu or jackfruit...I like the idea of just eating one meal a day...out of the pot. My husband makes his meals as he is a carnivore and as I am plant-based, I do mine.

[@tamik1967]

Are you different blood types? I am A and do great on vegan and my husband was O and was a meat and potatoes guy. He passed in 1992 (accident) long before I learned about the blood type link. Looking back I have 2 girls who are O’s and always loved meat and one daughter who was A and loved veggies! We should pay attention to little kids when they reject food!

[@loriegonta3622]

@@tamik1967 not sure...my husband prefers meat and for me it was to lose weight and get better in my health. I am seeing a doctor but I guess my body slowed down in losing the weight...I have lost just shy of 200 lbs in two years and as I transitioned from meat eating to plant based, my body said...hold on there girl...what are you doing to me..I have dropped 40 lbs on plant based in a year but was hoping for a lot more...

I find Dr Greger, Dr Fuhrman & Dr Will Bulcewick (the gut doctor, I probably mispelt his name) way too prescriptive, I appreciate their advice but what they also forget is that as a petite older woman, I can only have about 1,500 cals so I definitely can't have all those beans and wholegrains, I'd love to but I have to limit myself to (sweet) potatoes, fruit, veggies, squashes, mushrooms, and other lower calorie options

yes l finally understand this after 4 years of eating this way. l now eat basically the same for breakfast and lunch each day and dinner is something different. l try to prep starches so they are ready to eat . only a bit difficult when l have family over l have to buy a chicken for them and have my dishes on the table so they get their meat. it works. me health has recovered . if only we were taught this way of eating at a young age. health magazines and so called experts are wrong in what they say to eat. l only found mc dougall because l had hashimoto disease so l just started following his advice it works .

[@mikafoxx2717]

It's good stuff. My gramps always eats a pot of oatmeal with fruit every morning. Whole fruits for any snacks, dinner is something like potato, peas and other veg, and for them often a piece of chicken or something but you could always do legumes instead. Still healthy at 74, 145lb, 5'9" still active and more physically capable than like half the 30 something's these days. 90% simple healthy food goes a loooong way.

I cant believe that I seem to be the only one eating this way and that no-one else that I know does. Would be nice if everyone listened to Dillon and Dr Greger

I'll be sure to tell my 5 and 2 year old that they need to make their own food if they don't like what we're having 😂. I really appreciate this channel because there are a lot of recipes that are simple and quick so that allows variety. Also, please no replies of the advice that if that's all they're offered then they will eat it if they get hungry enough. My kids won't. They'll just not eat and then go to their annual physical not having grown enough.
