I am 56 years old, 3 years post-menopause and started eating WFPB in March because of my high cholesterol and just got my lipid panel done on April 25. My numbers improved dramatically! My total cholesterol went from 318 to 159, LDL went from 230 to 97!!
I’ve completely re-envisioned breakfast. I’m eating things like squash soup with beans for breakfast, with a handful of greens in there. Total game changer! I feel like a million bucks on the days I start out with these kinds of meals.
I really appreciate this series. Thank you for all you do for us. Your channel is one of my very favorites. interestingly enough, i have never had one hot flash. I’m 55. I started eating mostly vegan for the last 5 years or longer. And I take evening primrose oil nightly for the last 10 years.
Hi Emmie! Love your channel. I haven't eaten meat in 25 years for ethical reasons but now that I am past menopause, I am wondering about how much protein is necessary to maintain or increase muscle mass on a plant based/vegan diet. Would you consider addressing this issue in a future video?
Thank you Emmie. Fortunately I don’t really have a problem with hot flashes… unfortunately I cannot eat Soy of any kind. I have a sever intolerance to Soy. What would you recommend to substitute for healthy legumes in this case? Blessings! 🙏🏻💕
I am the best 😊 I just received my soy beans and will be preparing them today so I can start eating them tomorrow. I am going to follow the potato and broccoli and fruit this whole week plus the soybeans and report back next week. Thank you for these quick and simple conversations. Keep up the good work and many blessings to you. -Zelma
@@Moon52171 I have seen a difference, I feel healthier, hot flashes are not as dramatic, weight is slowly coming off. I’m on a good mindset, enjoying my meals, one meal at a time ☺️
I am the best! I buy bulk soybeans at my local discount market, cook up a big batch and freeze them. So convenient and they have such a mild taste I can put them in almost anything I eat. Or I just nibble on them alone.
Hahaha i thought gosh, that’s strange, people are making the same typo! I thought hey meant to type “you” are the best!!!! Haha then i found out. So every morning for breakfast i have a veg salad of sliced Persian cucumber, tomato, 1/3 - 1/2 avocado and a serving of Trader Joe’s fresh edamame beans. They are so easy!!! Do they count exactly the same as soy beans. I mean, i know they are soy beans, just immature - still green. But sometimes foods have different nutritional values in different forms. Thank you. You are wonderful!
I am the best! Had the soybeans, just hadn’t cooked them yet. I was scared. Just cooked up a batch and can’t wait to start eating tomorrow. Looking forward to the next video! This has been great! Thank you!
I am the best. Having major inflammation issues and they’ve told me to do low residue but potatoes are on the list!!!! So I need to make some major changes - thank you so much
Thank you so much. However, I am sensitive to soy it causes me to have gastritis. And bananas trigger migraines for me. However I have been on a plant-based Whole Foods plan the last couple years and do feel fantastic. I am 55 have progressed through a very natural menopause and have 15 pounds left that I can not seem to lose. Any advise about fruit and legumes that are not soy or bananas.
I am the same but I get organic beans pressure cook them 30 mins. Season with Indian spices no oil. I can eat them with no allergies. Any other soy I cannot tolerate. Been eating them for months ever since I saw Dr Bernard talking about it. Game changer.
I am the best! 😊 Thank you for all your amazing teaching! Please help me with potatoes! I have heard often that potatoes are super filling and satisfying and my husband and I have found potatoes to be the opposite! I will bake potatoes, layer on black beans, salsa, steamed broccoli and cashew sauce and then will feel full...but will not feel satisfied. And then we will be hungry an hour later. 🤣 Any thoughts or suggestions? I LOVE your channel, thank you for helpful content!!
Can yoou do a video about blood pressure, and ho to measure it at home.😊 Because May is blood pressure awaqreness month. It is great to spread awareness😊
I am the best! And you have a cute new sweater, love it. Great info as always but that was A LOT of decades! Just saying 😂. Thank you again for your wonderful content.
My mom is 67 and her potassium is 6.2 after three years on plant based diet. She’s a good weight and eats so clean. Can you refer us someone to ask about this?
I've personally seen that the white potatoes are the scapegoat. If you follow SOS 100% without added oils and processed foods, RA symptoms - from what I have seen - drop dramatically. Wishing you ultimate health!
I am the best. I'm 54 pre-diabetic on meds, have Hashimoto a bit anemic. I work out 3-5 times a week try and keep a healthy lifestyle with eating but still no results. Need this guidance
My husband grilled hamburger patties last night. I was wondering, beside your dad’s recipe, is there a veggie burger to begin my journey. We’re empty nesters.
Black Bean Burgers Recipe by: Dr. Michael Greger & Robin Robertson from The How Not to Die Cookbook There can never be enough ways to get beans into your daily meals. This is one of the best. Serve on toasted 100% whole-grain bread with all the fixings. These burgers freeze well, so consider doubling the recipe so you’ll have them ready for just-thaw-and-indulge moments. COURSE Main Course DIFFICULTY Easy SERVINGS 4 servings INGREDIENTS ▢ 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats ▢ ½ cup walnut pieces ▢ 1 ¼ inch piece fresh turmeric (or ¼ teaspoon ground) grated ▢ ½ cup red onion chopped ▢ ⅓ cup mushrooms chopped ▢ 1 ½ cup cooked or 1 15-ounce BPA-free can or Tetra Pak salt-free black beans rinsed and drained ▢ 2 tablespoons tahini or almond butter ▢ 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds ▢ 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast ▢ 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped ▢ 2 teaspoons white miso paste ▢ 1 teaspoon onion powder ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder ▢ ½ teaspoon smoked paprika ▢ 1 teaspoon Savory Spice Blend INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Pulse the oats, walnuts, and turmeric in a food processor until they are finely ground. Add the onion, mushrooms, beans, tahini, and flaxseeds and pulse until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse to mix well. Pinch some of the mixture between your thumb and index finger to test whether it holds together. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Transfer the mixture to a work surface and divide into four equal portions. Shape each into a patty about ½-inch thick and transfer to a plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and arrange the burgers on it. Bake until hot and lightly browned, turning once, about 25 minutes. Serve hot, as desired.
Thanks for addressing menopause, YOU are the best Emmie!!😉 I have to politely disagree with you on one point though, oranges are NOT a convenience food! They are so messy to eat and aren't grab and go type fruit as they need a knife and a napkin!😉
