When I was following my doctor’s bariatric diet my cholesterol kept rising and my PCP threatened to put me in statins. I went vegan eating lots of beans and chickpeas and stopped cooking with oil. My slow creep weight gain stopped and my cholesterol normalized. I feel 100% better since I gave up meat. And yes. I eat tons of veg. Sometimes I even VFB ( vegetables for breakfast) Also, the world health organization has classified bacon as a class 1 carcinogen.
I'm trying to post more on my instagram account (@drmatthewweiner) too, please feel free to follow us for some more content there that you won't see here! Appreciate you all. - Dr. Weiner
I bought the book, A Pound of Cure and made the 3 bean vegetarian chili recipe in the book. It was delicious. Added carrots and mushrooms. The green smoothie was also good.
I do and have followed Dr. Matthew Weiner since he was in Michigan for a long time, and I am always amazed as to how well he described and explains different type of foods in different topics. He is a wonderful physician, an absolutely awesome doctor. I have made his smoothies which are great and delicious. And I do eat lots of beans along with fresh vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, fish especially salmon and I am doing great health wise. I did have the gastric bypass surgery 2 years ago and I feel fantastic eating the right food. And I am not a spring chicken per se but feel like one exercising and eating right. THANK YOU, Dr. Weiner for sharing your videos which are an excellent tool of great information, it is truly appreciated. 👍😍🙏🏻🙌
@@apoundofcure Doctor is it possible to have a virtual appointment with you? I’m scheduled for surgery on 12/6 and I would love the chance to speak to you.
@@jemjr1628 Dr. Weiner is licensed to practice in CA, AZ, MI, FL, or NY. If you live in one of those states, you can call (520) 420-1000 to set up a virtual appointment.
Before I had the sleeve done, beans would hurt me so bad. Major pains.. etc. possibly IBS for years. Would you still suggest going for more beans. I’m scared too.
Hi Dr Weiner I’m 5 months out RNY 5st off me BMI 24.7 as of today yippee I don’t touch beef pork lamb none of it. A lil chicken turkey mixed beans the Aldi 3 beans like peas to. Was wondering my favs are chickpeas I drained wash em put them on a roasting tray and nothing in them bake them in the oven 350 46 mins. They come out looking like peanuts great replacement for nuts. You are the man your videos are brilliant bless you for the set point smoothie that’s my breakfast most days 👍👍
I have lipedema, back in the years I wasn’t a chicken or meat eater in I’ll eat once in a whie because I had gold stones so it will cause pain. After they remove my gallbladder I started to eat more meat poultry milk and cheese I started to gain weight but I thought it was just the age… now I’m like 40 pounds heavier and lipedema doesn’t help… I’m reconsidering on going back to my life style of only eating meat and poultry occasionally, and see if I could lose weight. Because also I have varicose veins 😢
Dr. Weiner, when you get a chance. Will you please speak more about beans and carbohydrates please? Accordingly, beans contain both carbohydrate and protein. Since beans have both carbohydrate and protein, where do they fit in a diabetes nutrition plan? Remember that beans are high in fiber. Your body doesn't digest fiber so not all of the carbohydrate from beans will be turned into blood sugar. Do beans raise blood sugar levels? Should diabetes stay away from beans?
I am 8 years post sleeve surgery, and I am always concerned that I get my 60 grams of protein per day. However, I cannot find any information on specific ways to eat plant-based food and get full proteins. I am looking for plant-based food combinations that make full proteins . For example, what specific food will make up for the incomplete protein in beans? Do you know any information sources that give names of specific essential amino acids in every type of plant-based food?
Wow how can you eat that much good short time after surgery. Im one year after Sleeve and i still eat only 300 - 400 g the hole day. In could never eat 500 g vegetables a day. And why should i, Im not hungry any more.
Dr I just had a bypass revision and I’m my 7 th week and have stalled for 3 weeks the problem is am not losing weight my surgeon said to eat more meat he wants me to chew chew chew and rather am not eating enough am really confused
my surgeon specifically told me that weight loss is much slower after a revision, compared to the initial surgery and not to expect nearly the same amount of loss.
How do you feel about vegetarian chicken and vegetarian burgers? I am following you and so far I have gain a great deal of knowledge regarding nutrients vs calories. Thank you so much for a wonderful start to my new life after my sleve
Make sure you choose products with good ingredients. Many of these products contain a lot of added grains. Homemade versions are always the best choice.
@DrMatthewWeiner thank you so much. I really don't need extra carbs that's for sure. I trying to have more protein less sugar, fats and carbs. I love cooking so I guess I will have to do some food exchanges to make it work, and still eat healthy and enjoy it. I am collecting your whole series. This is very valuable information if if you haven't had bariactric surgery.
In general industrial products contain a lot of ingredients that are unnatural. Sugars, powdered carbohydrates, a lot of refined, bleached salt, industrial unhealthy seed oils, preservatives, aromas. This resembles junkfood.
What do we add to beans for complete protein if we are minimizing or not eating wholegrains? (I am in New Zealand and our beef is all grass fed cattle)
Unless you've just had bariatric surgery, a diet of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and lean protein will provide the protein you need. Grass-fed beef is also fine a couple times a week.
I switched to a plant based diet centered around whole foods for the health benefits. Vegans have lower rates of our most common, chronic, deadly diseases. In the Adventist Health Studies, the only dietary group with an average BMI in the recommended range was the vegan group. This was among a large sample size here in the USA.
Eat properly. Replace 8oz of meat with 8oz of beans. Also whole grain, a single slice of whole grain bread has almost 6g of protein. A plate of sweet peas with carrots, beans and rice and 2 slices of whole grain bread would give you 20-25g of clean protein.
@@linlivingstonjnr1615 Vegans rely on those foods. The largest organization of nutrition professionals officially declared- "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. *Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity.* Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements." -Full abstract from the position paper as found on PubMed from the National Institutes of Health
A plant based diet can save you money! Cheap staples include potatoes, rice, beans, pasta, oatmeal, peanuts, and bananas. "Vegan diets were the most affordable and reduced food costs by up to one third. Vegetarian diets were a close second. Flexitarian diets with low amounts of meat and dairy reduced costs by 14%. By contrast, pescatarian diets increased costs by up to 2%."-Oxford Nov 11, 2021 (Title etc. follow) Sustainable eating is cheaper and healthier - Oxford study Global study shows vegan and vegetarian diets cheapest option in high-income countries Oxford University research has today revealed that, in countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and across Western Europe, adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third. Title -"Sustainable eating is cheaper and healthier - Oxford study"
