I’m plant based for about 1 year now. One question: I know that millet is an approved grain to eat, but recent research states that wheat products are cancer causing, including gluten I would like to have an answer about this. Quinoa is on the no list, as well. Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.
keep it up and continue researching the subject - which allows you to improve :) a great knowledge foundation in terms of enjoyable documentaries can be found here: www.plantbasednews.org/opinion/top-7-plant-based-films-of-all-time
Good for you! Once you feel the results you'll never look back . This may be helpful :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-irAeD40poGE.html
That is awesome! It would be great if all the healthy vegans can send message to the omnivores and carnivores how healthy non-animal derived food products are. I switched to a wholesome plant based lifestyle thirty months ago and have been able to “brag” about the improvement in my health to colleagues who used to tease me about eating “that rabbit food again?”
The real key thing is to not beat yourself up on mistakes. It is to slow down and re-address what happened. Stress, proximity, peer pressure, etc.. It is a slow change for most. The other piece of advice is to get rid of unhealthy temptations at home as soon as possible. If you live with people who eat unhealthy options to have a talk with them to have their own personal junk food area.
I can’t believe it took me this long to fully commit to a whole food plant based diet. I’ve been vegan for almost six years. Going vegan improves my health but I was still carrying around extra weight and was recently diagnosed with being pre-diabetic. Two months whole food plant based and o feel like freakin Superman. I am an avid snowboarder and it’s been amazing to see how quickly my body recovers from riding hard. When my friends complain about being sore, I’m great. I am losing weight because it’s tough to eat enough calories. Read that again. I am having to put in effort to eat enough and not lose weight. I would much much rather have this problem than the problem of tracking calories hoping to not go over. I have dealt with that problem most of my life. I am confident that when I retake my blood work in a couple of months that my levels will be improved. However, I don’t need numbers to know how I feel. It took me a while. I am 37. I am glad I’m here now though. It’s literally never too late.
@@Anar-lx9xl it seems clear to me that you did not really watch this or if you did you weren't really paying attention, as he clearly describes the difference between Whole Food plant-based diet and veganism.
@@rwilsonweir5697 whole food plant base dame thing.its not sustainable.not healthy.missing too many essential nutrients and filled with too many toxins
Anar84 76, what you said are lies. If we all went WFPB, we’d be able to feed all people on earth. What is unsustainable is destroying all the forest and jungles to grow stuff to feed cattles. Second, a WFPB deit, provides all the nutrients one need to live a healthy life. The only thing that is advised is that one take B12. Lastly, most toxins in plants are killed by the cooking process. By the way you're talking, it seems like you're just uninformed.
I’m a chef/ food designer from Thailand and I am nominate myself to promote and get people more involved in plant based food. I love to be part of your team to make all happen.
Me, too. Sometimes family is set in their ways. I know my brother has improved, as have my parents, who are elderly. I want my parents to outlive me even! Is that selfish?
Same for me, too. I'm thin! I'm healthy! I feel good! I'm not out of breath and don't have a heart attack risk any longer, nor a stroke risk. I have things still to do, like exercise regularly. I tend to exercise in spurts and then take weeks or months off, but I will change that.
In my early days doing a whole plant food diet, some friends introduced me to a grain called Hatto Mugi in Japenese. Also known as Job's Tears. Thought I'd share that. I often put a half cup in with 2 cups short grain brown rice, and cook them together. Makes for a nice bite. The Japanese ladies say it's good for skin. Nice. Thank you, Dr. Lim, for sharing your passion for health with whole foods.
That is cool! I'm 5 years now whole food-plant based. I still don't need to go to the doctor. Sooo happy. I watch out for accidents and such, though. I feel like the movie 'FInal Destination' where I dodged death and he's waiting to get retribution in some obscure way.
Research suggests that people who eat primarily plant based diets tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and lower rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease than those who eat meat. Plant based diets are high in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and water content from fruit and vegetables.
Another excellent video! We are both in our 80's and feel better than ever! We are all about healthy aging. For us eating a whole-food plant-based diet was the key to our reversing life-threatening illnesses. We are doing research for our new healthy-aging advice YT channel to inspire others. Learned a lot here! Thank you.
I've been low carb paleo for years, as I felt best on that, but for me it was tons of vegetables, my staple, some fruit, some seeds, some chicken, fish or meat. The last couple of years I started to add chickpeas and lentils. BP, cholesterol, glucose and weight are all great. Now I'll make the switch to WFPB. 😊
I am so amaze to this type of nutrition. I was directed to wholefood, plant base diet after I was told I had to take medication for my high blood pressure. I tried this lifestyle first for two weeks because I knew that my body would react poorly to blood pressure medication before they finally find the right dosage. I feel better, no joint pain, blood pressure went down, and my energy is off the roof. Thank you so much for the information and healing my body. If only I had learned about this nutrition early.
I love this channel. I started my journey in July and Dr McDougall, Dr Lim, Chef AJ. So many wonderful people that are on plant based journey and others like freelee who live a raw vegan lifestyle have been pivotal to journey. Also Pantiful Kiki and high Carb Hanna. Awesome 👏 thank you all for your dedication and education! Plant power 🌱
Dee Diets indeed! So delicious too. Slowly converting my family. They are a tough crowd but I do it lovingly and with joy. They have seen the improvement in my mood so that is what attracts them and makes them curious 😄. No judgement if they won’t eat my morning broccoli 🥦 but if they say yum to the oatmeal with nutritional yeast and flax...it’s a start!
@@viviangonzo4281 My husband was the same way after three weeks of me doing plant-based he jumped on board because he said to me you have so much energy I want to feel what you’re feeling and he has already lost 31 pounds and I have lost 34 pounds I cannot believe it I wish I knew this years ago
I Love this! Thank You for sharing this. I have been on my plant based journey for 3 years and although I've lost a little weight and I look much better, I'm still not where I want to be. I don't eat cookies, fried foods or sodas but I do have room for improvement based on what I've witnessed in this video. I still eat vegan cheese on my pizza that I make myself and occasionally, I eat some baked goods that I make myself but I was just talking to God this morning before watching your video and asked what am I still doing or not doing that will get the true results that I desire and although I've heard similar advice from some of the people you mentioned in your video, and others, your presentation has motivated me to make even better choices and to get moving again, something I know I've neglected to do. Again, I thank you and May God bless you and your family
My son and I just ate potato soup that I make with just red potatoes, carrots, celery, red onion, water, pepper and just a little bit of salt. It is so delicious, very filling, and my eight year old loves it so I make it on a regular basis. It is super easy, super affordable, and very delicious since we are able to actually taste the vegetables without the oil! Thank you, Dr. Lim, for everything you do to spread the truth and share the science behind healthy and happy living!
As soon as you stop the negative charge of mother earth that tomato starts to die . I said cooked food is DEAD FOOD. EYES MIND HEART AND SOUL WIDE OPEN NO FEAR...
@@dinomiles7999 ya, I can read. so following your "logic" when you pick the tomato off the vine the tomato starts to die, thus you are stopping the negative charge of mother nature. lol
Awesome! I've been doing this for one year now. Even though I was slim and healthy already, I still lost another 8 kg. And what is more: I feel more vital and energized than ever before. I'm in the best shape of my life, feeling supersexy and able to achieve ANYTHING I want. I will stick to this diet for the rest of my life, because this is food heaven! 💚❤💚
I just got one of Dr Gregor’s books HOW NOT TO DIE all plant based. Micro greens are mentioned like broccoli sprouts Flax seed is very important. . He talks about the same studies and more.. check him out on RU-vid. His nonprofit offers videos on every aspect. He is so intelligent and funny too. He has recovery stories. He started because of his ill grandmother who was dying. After a plant based diet she thrived for years to come. Yay to all of us who will live better happy and healthier lives!
I love steel cut oats too! Sooo good everyday and it completely satisfies you for hours! I feel the best going Whole Foods plant based. Never getting off it- made that mistake and gained 20 lbs of fat. Never again. The key is just loving yourself enough to make food your body loves and can use for your betterment.
Have been WFPB since okt 2018 and eat a whole variety of grains, vegetables, fruits, beans and lentils and I no longer promote preventable diseases, animal suffering, pandemics, preventable CO2. And I feel more friendly, relaxed and healthy.
Great job! This is the best overall video promoting the plant based whole food diet I have come across so far. We are not carnivores. If we were please show me an american person that can consume the two hundred plus pounds annually of animal flesh without cooking it. Love Peace and Harmony - HugoTruth
I've was just diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure, and have been introduced to plant based diet and it all makes sense. Time to go all in. I was able to get my a1c from 9.8 down to 4.3 in one year with keto/low carb diet I hope that plant based can get my blood pressure under control.
Did the docs feel your kidney disease was due to keto? I am just coming off of a keto/carnivore diet. I dropped weight immediately on it but something just didn’t feel right with it. Always hungry. Always craving sweets even though everyone said keto reduces cravings. Always felt like I had an empty pit in my stomach. Always peeing all night long. Saw some people on keto/carnivore expressing some concerns about kidney function and it scared me.
@@PinkieJoJo They didn't say anything about keto specifically however they were concerned about the amount of protein in my urine, which can be caused by the protein I was consuming or the year's of uncontrolled diabetes that affects the ability to keep protein in my blood I'm not sure which was th cause of mix of th two. The more I read and learn about plant based diet I feel it offers a better solution for people like use with ckd due to th low stress on the body and easier to digest foods. If you would like to send an ig contact I am going to o start an ig page to document the new journey to try and help others in this same position to stop not be on dialysis like I have to now GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND STAY STRONG!!!
It's absolutely clear to me that a plant based diet is better for you. Figuring out how to cook for it is tough, though. I made mushroom pasta last night and now Im wondering, is that really plant based. I used lots of olive oil, and pasta.
I love this presentation! Thanks so much I’ve been vegan for 19 years and now almost 40 and new friends always ask if I’m 28 or 30 :) I’ve also recovered quickly from covid Thanks so much for passing on this health message
Summary: - Eat foods that you grandmother would recognise (minimally processed) - Not too much - Mostly plants (whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, small amount of nuts) - A vegetarian or vegan diet is not necessarily healthy - needs to be whole foods based - Protein from plants no problem (look at gorillas, protein deficiency is not a thing in developed countries) - Whole food plant based diet has the potential to prevent/ or maybe even reverse some chronic illnesses (e.g., CVD, diabetes)
You have a strange idea of what gorillas eat. Coprophagia is the word for eating shit..and gorillas do this to get the nutrients they desperately require. All apes do. Our grandparent ate meat and fish and bacon and eggs for breakfast because they considered crap like cornflakes junk. They were right.
i like how he brings up how the main issue with the standard diet is all the processed foods that our bodies weren't made to handle properly and that we cannot and should not rely on drugs to try to fix the problems our diets have caused. would you be able to make a video on anti-nutrients? i've noticed they're mainly in vegetables so i figure they would apply to this channel. it would be nice to hear what foods we should limit and if there are any actual benefits to some antinutrients as some are used for limiting carbohydrate absorption for diabetics.
I'm a VERY long term vegan, and have tried various versions of veganism over the decades. Today is day 1 of me being back on very low fat (already eat mostly whole food...but HIGH fat) because, despite being very thin, I'm becoming diabetic due to bad genetics. I'm determined to help myself via food vs. Big Pharma.
I see the most important difference in whole food plant based and vegetarian is the absolute absence of sugar and processed food. I do 85% whole food/plantand about 15% Alaskan wild salmon a couple times a week and a few grass fed servings of whole milk ( bc I can not go without a very good froth in my coffee )and a few servings of grass fed Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. I have achieved very similar results of your presentation, maintain 115 weight ( 74 yr woman…5’, bp 115/72, very good bloods) I am working on a bit better iron intake Thank You so much for your video ❤
First I want to say that I agree, that a WFPB diet is a great step in.to the right direction. I myself and my fiancé did the certification with T. Collin Campbell. Now, I want to let you know there is no Vegan diet. Vegan is no diet. It is an ethical position. You can‘t impossibly say what a Vegan eats just by its label. But you can say that that person is vegan and eating a plant based diet. A Vegan can also eat a WFPB diet like here propagated. A Vegan can also just eat Raw Veggies and Fruits or be high raw. Vegans are Vegan because they do not want to inflict harm to animals. It’s an ethical decision. It dies not particularly have to do with their own health.
I don’t necessarily disagree with everything in this approach although I eat all the food groups and do not eat highly processed junk food. Robert’s story is inspiring but of course he is an n=1 anecdote. Nothing to say that had he lost the weight without going plant based that he would not have had the same results. If anyone halves their body weight and goes from sedentary to running 5 miles a day OF COURSE they are going to get a whole lot more healthy. If you look through RU-vid you will find videos almost identical videos from proponents of IF, Carnivore, Keto, Sapien, Insulin haters etc all fronted by doctors. The comments sections are naturally filled with super positive comments from supporters or zealots. Why am I raising this? Well because if you want to lose weight realise that there are many ways to achieve this and if you find one that works for you then use it but don’t think it is the ONLY way or that is guaranteed 100% healthy. Try to overcome your brains desire for confirmation bias and check out other systems. Waiting for the haters to respond now….
I would tend to agree with you excepting the crucial importance of eliminating sugars and processed ‘ foods’ I view these as the biggest threats to our health along with sedentary lifestyle…although I would argue that improving health through eliminating sugars and processed foods would lead to better energy and activity. I follow Dr.Li on the Master Class channel he educates on the nutritional values of many foods including some grass fed dairy and meats. This allows for many very healthy choices . I myself follow plant based ( some gently cooked and many raw ), no processed and no sugars ( I do treat myself infrequently to dark chocolate bars). I have maintained , as a 74/yr. woman all of the improvements and advantages that Dr. Lim promotes in his presentation
Excellent video, but it still leaves me with how too. Stats are great and it is a motivator , it would of been nice to lead to books that help with foods that are expectable and maybe a few ways to prepare the meals etc, but overall and thank you for your opinion and this is mine , this has been one of the best videos I have watch to date. All the best.
Excellent! Not presented in a IN YOUR FACE video on eating right. So right it is on point. Sharing with my "almost vegetarian" daughter and "not at all" son. I'll work on the son. LOL
With all due respect to Dr. Lim, I am banking my health more so on one who has spent their professional career operating on arteries, opening them up and seeing the clogged pathways first hand, and then having a desire to research what is trashing them, I'd say that's where my money is than one who has never been a Cardio Vascular Surgeon. Find out and keep reading and watching videos like I did on the endothelia cells (inner cell wall lining of the artery) and nitric oxide and the role it plays and you won't regret it.
Thanks for this! I’m trying to convert my fam of six to 100% whole plant foods. My boys want to be stacked as most teens do, so I started watching things about Frank Medrano. Omg. So inspirational. I hope it helps me get them excited 😍😍😍
GREETINGS DR ANTHONY !!!! Just watched your presentation... THANK YOU for SHARING THIS with your fellow WORLD CITIZENS !!!!!! * Kiitos * Terima kasih * Obrigado * Danke*.................from SINGAPORE ...Cheers !!!!
In my opinion the root of our troubles is our greed is good capitalist culture. Big pharma, junk food industry, advertising, the military industrial complex, fossil fuels, industrial farming, etc. I think we need a big change to our culture or we’ll face a bleak future.
Plant-based for the planet, vegan for the animals. Veganism is a philosophy, not a diet. You can (and should, if you want to be healthy as well as kind) be a vegan who follows a whole foods, plant-based diet. Wish more people got this distinction
I would like to learn more about undertaking a WFPB diet with intermittent fasting. I would love to be able to take the plant-based certificate program.
The Bible told us about this diet of green leaf to eat as food thousands of years ago... genesis 1...that the Daniel diet of just vegetables....man is just catching up....to God be the glory
My friend you are a scholar in your fields of study I'm sure, but your description of what a vegan is contradictory of many other natural health foods experts, and certainly my first to ever hear it put this way and I think if you Google it they tell you differently also.
Grains and starchy vegetables without butter, other fat or meat are plain, unsatiating and the glucose energy is delivered and expires quickly. Other plant eating animals have a longer digestive system where fermentation can take place. Very little of fermentation products is absorbed by a human in the large bowel. Most traditional meals have always mixed macros, potato, grain or bean as the base, such as potato salad with sausage and cream, or pasta with olive oil, but now one diet camp calls for removal of the grain, and the other for the fat. They both might be on to something. Grain for me is a fast convenience food. Lasts for years. Just pour out and boil for a fixed length of time, and flavor with something.
