What I Eat - Dinner | Dr Mona Vand

[@moiraohara]

found your youtube channel today and im lovin it. Im changing my food habits. I need to loose a lot of weight and i was addicted to sugar, fast-food...altough i love veggies, fruits, and healthy food, it was more depression and lazyness so now is good to find channels like your to inspire me.

[@suzihammond200]

I recently discovered your channel and I am so grateful! My husband had a major heart attack 4 weeks ago at the age of 57. He and I already ate pretty healthy but very meat based. We are now on a much more comprehensive path in terms of our health. I am learning so much from you. I don't think I'll be successful convincing my husband to go vegetarian but he is open to 2 nights a week meatless dinners! Thank you for all the great information and tips. You are changing lives!

[@browngirl5905]

Suzi Hammond I hope your husband has a speedy recovery.

[@melissathiel2]

I just stumbled upon your previous breakfast video from this series and immediately watched the lunch and then this video. I took notes and am on my way to the grocery store now. I just have to say, I am incredibly grateful for these videos. I'm a new vegan and trying to go as healthy as possible. I've been scouring KZbin to gain knowledge and I've had to take all of it with a grain of salt. But you are so immensely knowledgeable and break it all down so simply for us to understand. This is exactly what I've been needing. I, of course, hit that subscribe and notification button and will be binge watching all of your videos and telling everyone they NEED to do the same. Thank you thank you 🙌👏

[@yasafshar2318]

Salt actually increases water's boiling point and so makes it boil slower. If you are adding salt for taste, wait for water to boil and then add the salt.

[@YazminNatalie]

I gained so much weight and planning on losing weight soon. Your videos are so inspirational, thanks for all the tips. I’m so inspired to change my lifestyle! ❤️💪🏼

[@linalogic]

Officially subscribed-- love this channel, I can't stop watching! You're the first person I've found who's pretty much said it's okay to eat heavier meals at night. I eat dinner late (7pm) and it's always heavy bc that's how I was raised and I always felt defeated because I could never step away from it. Thank you for showing us it can be done in a simple and healthy way! XO.

[@louiesaint7143]

i like how everything you speak of has so much value. So many you tubers i've come across go on random tangents as if they don't know how to fill up space...which to me means they aren't knowledgeable . You have really quality content. Enjoying your channel very much :)

One Basil plant can literally give you over a gallon of pesto throughout the year. Keep the plant on the porch or veranda, if you live in a condo, like I do, make pesto and freeze it. I pour the pesto into ice cube trays then once it is frozen put the cubes in freezer bags. I take 2-3 cubes out at a time and add them to my cooking. They are great in soups, delicious on sandwiches and, of course, scrumptious in sauces. Thank you for the "Braggs" nutritional yeast seasoning tip. Eating raw vegetables before eating a meal is a really good tip. Your meat tip is really good too, however, i don't think I could give up my fish. Especially Salmon and trout. I was just talking to a friend about stopping all meat and chicken. I rarely eat them anyway but my fish is going to be a hard one to deny myself. For me, there is nothing more delicious than salmon and asparagus or trout and a good healthy salad for dinner. Carbs cause secretion of insulin which cause insulin resistance over time and obesity. 80% of Americans are struggling with insulin resistance and in a lot of cases full blown diabetes. We all have a responsibility to get that word out to people. Insulin resistance and diabetes is an epidemic and both can lead to so many health problems for the body. Too many carbs are not a good idea. It is very important to pick and choose carefully what carbs you are going to incorporate into the body. The lower the amounts of grams the better. Rice and potatoes are high in grams. The only time you NEED a potato or rice or sugar is when that it is the only food left on earth. Sugar should be considered poision by the FDA, if you think about what it does to the body. On a better note, your pasta dish looks and sounds amazing. I highly recommend getting a basil plant and make your own pesto to add to the amazing pasta you just made. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@noshb7012]

This is the only person/video I've ever genuinely liked, agreed with and subscribed to on youtube THANKS SO MUCH! xxx

[@stumblingdancer]

I think I found my "Guru" in you. Everything you say, no matter what Video I watch of yours, is 100% what I am thinking for some years. I really want to spread that wisdom/ I try to spread it, even though I get a lot of contra from collegues. I am following a diet for some months that is actually like the one you propose on your videos and I finally have a more or less stable body weight, more power and less migraine and depressional moods. Now I found your channel and it makes me even more know, that I am doing the right thing. Thanks a lot, and thanks to youtube I found you.

[@SS-zj5lk]

I so agree with you about eating good carbs and not being afraid of carbs. I learnt this from Dr McDougall and I see you apply the same principles too. Good carbs keep me satiated and help me lose weight. When I was on high protein, low carb I was miserable and kept wanting to snack because my body was craving carbs.

[@essiei7301]

These videos are so helpful. Given that food combining can be a little confusing could you make more of these videos that show examples of actual meals using your food combining technique??

[@DrMonaVand]

yes.. coming soon, there's also a whole playlist of food combining videos for more info on that

[@SimpleLivings]

Is any body else exhausted listening to the effort she puts into her daily diet???? I know you need to eat well but the stress that goes into that much “perfection “ will kill ya anyway!!!🇮🇪🇮🇪

It's not exhausting for her because it is part of her daily life. It sounds tedious to you now because it is new info. Tutorials are meant to be a tad longer until you catch on.

[@meranaamarti]

Some great tips. Love how you explain why you eat what you eat in a scientific and motivational way x

Really, really appreciate these type of videos. Easy and nutritious!

[@simonedejager4690]

Adding fresh chopped parsley and or basil just before eating is also so good for you.

[@positivetalkparenting9378]

I really love this video! I just came across your channel yesterday and really excited about the information you're sharing. I'm wondering if you do any videos for people that have IBS? There isn't much of anything that I eat that doesn't bloat me. But I need to start somewhere.

[@Annileeze]

I would LOVE to hear your critique and opinion on this Keto diet craze. I don’t think it’s sustainable or safe. Could you, please, do a video on this? Thanks!

[@martanieradka4675]

Salt is good for you, it keeps your stomach acidic, which is what you need to digest food, a bit of salt (choose mined over see salt) to your juice or water, plus the mineral content of such salt is an additional benefit

[@mirindalizfigueroa2784]

I just found your channel today, and I all ready hooked

[@InvincibleKim]

Love your videos. They are really soothing and so clean and well made. Plus you have a way of explaining that comes really easy to me, keep it up! ❤️

[@dianeagideon]

Yes more vegan recipe videos please! I am new to plant based whole food eating. I bought two cookbooks recently, but any & all other ideas are great! I think most people hear "plant based" & run away scared. It just doesn't sound appetizing. Please keep sharing that it is & good for you! Thank you!

[@MissPriceey]

omg i just made this pasta ( a few changes, i dont like mushrooms so i added chopped carrots instead and used whole wheat pasta) and i am so shocked how nice it was, found a new favourate, thankyou so much!

[@uneedmotobike]

Do you have a video where you talk all things digestion/healthy gut? If not, can you please make one?

[@henrybarnard644]

The latest thinking is that eating something with significant fat and protein like nuts first in a meal is good because it reduces the insulin spike of the meal and also it reduces the appetite a bit so that one doesn't eat so much.

[@wilfredobernabe2184]

I’m binge watching all your videos! Thank you so much for all the brilliant tips. They are so helpful!!

[@CrumbleCrumbleASMR]

I’m no doctor, but finally someone said it! Bacon over beans? I stayed away from keto for a long time because of that logic... so happy I found your channel :)

[@Nuverselive]

I went vegetarian for 2 years. I ended up having organ issues which is a result of sickle cell anemia and being vegetarian wasn’t good for me , a holistic doc has me eating grilled fowl and fish to help with healing and protein deficiencies, there’s so much more the lands showed but I really hate eating meat! 😑

Thank you so so so much !! And also, I’m glad you show us the box and the brands. So I know what exactly to look for. You’re the best !! ♥️

[@jennifert1847]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! BTW I just want to let people know I used to work at a pharmacy for years & the pharmacist knew better than most doctors that prescribed medicine for their patients... some doctors didn’t even care to sit down and talk with them and explain what medicine they are getting. Half the people that came to the pharmacy had no idea what the medicine was & the pharmacist explained everything it did and what was a Better option or if the directions the doctor wrote were incorrect .... so many problems pharmacists who care face && they help fix it ! So thank yuh

The salt in pasta water is primarily added for flavor.

[@kimberley8902]

I thought the purpose was to boil the water faster.

[@melissac.5919]

@@kimberley8902 The water actually takes longer to boil with salt in it. That's the reason why italians put the salt in when it already boils.

[@melissaann5909]

I understand what you're saying about meat being acidic but some people have autoimmune​ issues and grains and beans will make them feel worst. I do think they are very healthy. What is your take on this? Your meal looked so good ;)

[@DrMonaVand]

I understand.. everyone is different! That sounds cliche but it's just so true. Some people can't tolerate carbs or they gain weight, others can eat as many carbs as they want and not gain. This is generalized, and what I've seen work for me

[@oliverxhmll]

So true. I have hashimotos and cant even eat cauliflower or nightshade vegetables or i feel like crap the next few days. Healthy vegan diet also gave me insulin resistance, because my body doesnt tolerate all the carbs so well. Its different for everyone

[@melissaann5909]

Yes food can affect us so greatly, its crazy.

[@shreshtakota9031]

please do a video on what supplements you take for skin, hair and health and why you take them

Really enjoy listening to you. You are straight to the point. I've been on a primarily vegetable based diet and feel great. Just looking for more ideas for different dishes. At the moment, I'm hooked on brocolli and brussel sprouts...along with stir frys. Just recently incorporated brown rice and beans. Thank so much for the tips and I'm definitely subscribing. Thanks.

Great simple healthy information-you validated what I was thinking of a good nutritious simple dinner. Thank you 😊

[@annak1371]

You mentioned eating some raw veggies 20 minutes before you eat your actual dinner meal. Is that the same advice for someone who doesn't have a gallbladder? I have an impaired ability to digest due to my recent lack of a gallbladder. Also, as far as my pasta goes, I eat about 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup of pasta only, but I load it down with dehydrated "zesty cheese" flavored kale. Then I put veggie sausage on top of that and then pasta sauce on top of that with some extra nutritional yeast. It's so filling and yummy that way.

[@katharineoyadomari2302]

Hi Dr. Mona! 🤗 I just stumbled upon your wonderful video today👍👏😀! I love it!!! I eat very similar foods as you Dr. Great 👍, basically 2 meals, my breakfast is just like yours, with nutritional yeast 👍, I'm very picky, after 4:00 I don't eat anymore, I do close to 20 hrs mini fasting everyday, don't go to fast food places, or even restaurants, I also love your no make up look make ups !!

I don't like leaving negative comments as I cheer on for people to be more productive and get their success on however I do not like when people give false information. It is scientifically proven that cocunut oil is not recommended to be consumed. In fact it's high in cholesterol. It increases the level of low density lipoprotein. On the other hand olive oil is best recommended for cooking and other purposes it's safe to heat and it decreases low density lipoprotein and is a monounsaturated fat. Please do not give false information to people especially to those who are not educated in these areas. Thanks

Salt is added to boiling water to flavor the pasta while its cooking so it doesn't taste plain.

[@chiara5832]

I prefer legumes in their natural form and not tricking my brain. Regular pasta in the right portion is way more filling than rice. And since I'm Italian, you're not supposed to eat soft pasta but al dente, which is way more tasty and also easier to digest.
