Thank you for the fantastic information and inspiration. My brother and I both lost 20kg last year, after adopting a wfpb diet. I love the videos with Lee and Chuck, they bring so much good positive energy, really helping me a lot. YOU ARE MY SUPERHEROES!
I rarely disagree but this episode is PERFECT for long-time, vegans. We need motivation, new takes on research, and new talking points for on-the-fence loved ones.
You are so right/ I been on blood pressure meds for 30 years/ I lost weight and had a checkup by my heart doctor/ he asked me if I was dizzy after checking me out / I said yes I see dark spots all the time / he took me completely off my blood pressure meds/ he said your blood pressure is way to low🤦🏽♀️✍🏾🧘🏾♂️❤️
I've been watching this podcast for several months and am sad that you cut it down to three times a week. I like it better every day . I usually watch it right after lunch. You've been very inspirational to me.
@@Dhspat I was vegetarian for 4 years, didnt really feel that different. then i jumped to whole food plant based last month. im feeling great, lost my anxiety, depression, so much energy. would recommend.
@@alexandrawhitelock6195 Indeed, it doesn't. Idiocy makes folks idiots. Like saying "plants have feelings too" or "vegans destroy the rain forest with their soy consumption" or "feeding your child a vegan diet is child abuse", etc. etc. Those are only some of the most popular and probably even the most intelligent idiotic statements. The idiocy goes much deeper. You just need to go on a random post about veganism by Moby on Facebook. Between lots and lots of gifs of steaks and people thinking they're original and incredibly funny by writing "People Eating Tasty Animals", there's gems like these: "Look some beef ready got he grill hey Moby how do you like your steak?" "Sweet, but someone has to die! Either you or the animal. Frankly by the physical looks of Moby...hes chosen to sacrifice himself. #carnivoreforlife" "get a life, nazi loser" "So is the fact that alot of people become severely ill/malnourished on a vegan diet, that animals are part of the echo system and is also Bill Gates's agenda to have us all eating synthetic food and control the food chain. These are also inconvenient truths." "Yeah that POS is probably eating a steak right now" And so on and so on. These are the idiots. Not just different opinions. Idiots.
Chuck I want to say thank u for your messages on being a vegan. Being a vegan is the best diet in the world. My joints feel healthier and stronger. I eat more being a vegan and stay fuller much longer. I eat one meal a day and have no cravings. I have no cravings for sweets. I also shop cooking with oils and get my oils from nuts and seeds. I get all my motivations from passionate people like u who have our health at heart. Thank u. U are the best. Please do not stop, a lot of us get our continuous motivation from u.🙏💕💕❤️😍
Husband and I have been making the switch. We cut out dairy, then most eggs, definitely had to add back carbs (except wheat-very little there). At one point we were very hungry and loosing weight is not good for us. Pretty much just meat and fruit and veggies low on carbs. Now we are just having some meat a dinner just to use up our supply. We don't want to waist the life that gave it to us. Eat the carbs!! Thanks so much. I'm so grateful to have all these amazing resources to make the transition.
So important to talk about the difference between just 'going vegan' and getting all the great nutrients from a whole food, plants only, low fat, no oil eating plan. Thank you .
Chuck, that's an important issue, having a comfortable bowel movement. it's just as important as lower heart attacks, and breast cancer. So, don't shy away from the topic of BM's. For people who have hard, uncomfortable movements, going vegan really helps.
I have not yet seen the video yet. Here are my 10; 1) The putrescence factor of the food you eat will be substantially less 2) You will lessen your risk of chronic disease. 3) You will not need to be a prescription pad casualty. 4) Your taste buds will change and you will notice how fantastic basic foods taste 5) You will have more energy. 6) Your bowel movements will be more regular and more "satisfying" due to the more frequent release of dopamine. 7) Your headaches will be less severe and you will not need ant drug to relieve them. 8) You will contribute to the decrease in the number of farm animals and so 9)More of Earth's resources will be able to be channelled to people. 10) Sentient beings will no longer suffer p[ain and anxiety and will no longer communicate these to their offspring, thus bringing animals and humans closer together in love and affection. How did I go? I shall now watch the video.
Just want to share my experience and what my culture suggests being an Indian it’s best to Pair red beans and black beans with rice any rice white brown or black There is a simple curry called Rajma curry it’s a norths Indian dish recipes on you tube goes great with rice Also one tip soak the beans overnight and pressure cook for 20 mins
Definitely for long term vegan eaters rather than newbies... ‘just’ throwing out animal products and then ‘just’ taking out the oils, does NOT just happen. One has to find out how to cook/prepare a completely new diet, experiment with quantities, find different products at your nearby shops, find new taste profiles etc etc. I see over and over again that long-termers tend to forget that for those of us who are heading over to WFPBed that this really is a journey, especially if you are preparing food for a whole family and there is no such thing as a vegetarian (let alone vegan) restaurant or take home pre-prepared foods at the stores. Ps. I have been on a 21-day no animal based challenge and loved how I felt. However... was really craving for dairy and a steak! The main problem though is that I am nastily intolerant to oats (including gluten free oats) and wheat. And because I am not familiar with preparing chickpeas, lentils, beans etc I found I was not eating enough and was hungry the whole time. Going to truly healthy eating IS a journey...
Thankfully my wife has been doing this for close to a year so the transition is easy for me. I already was a whole foods person and workout regularly. Just had a moral change of mind so that makes not eating animal products easy peasy. Feels pretty darn good honestly!
Hi Ann, I completely agree with what you said! It's definitely a journey and learning a new way of cooking and shopping. I found a CZcams channel I am a big fan of (RainbowPlantLife), she has wonderful recipes that do take a bit of time to make but are worth the time and if you love Indian food :). The recipe below I have made multiple times and can recommend that one along with her red lentil curry. The one linked below has a spinach sauce that you make in a blender and you can also just take the spinach sauce and serve it over pasta or use it as a really well flavored gingery garlicky sauce. Best of luck to you 👍 rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-palak-paneer-with-tofu/#wprm-recipe-container-5573
It is true, I apologise on behalf of us long termers😂🤣I woz called a level5 Vegan other day, all these darn labels, names😂It’s just beautiful food that happens 2b health promoting 👍 Learn d art of making Saitan , if you are missing meat, try several recipes until you find 1you like. Stick 2familiar recipes & veganiz them, Happypear 5&10min meals, also Avantgardvegan, purchase an electric pressure cooker, perfect beans every time. When you suss it vegan meals are really really tasty, make a stock& every time recipe say ad water, add stock instead, specially in sauces. Enjoy your journey, your never go back & it gets easier & better.
Thanks for the ten tips. I realized halfway through that I watched this video before, but that is great, so I can soak up all the important information again! I remember that it was dr lee Crosby who told me now to tell my doctor if I start having very low glucose levels so now I have been taken off some of my meds. May God’s blessings be yours ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for you both. Thanks 😊
The UK DIRECT trial shows that fat deposition is not just in the muscles and causing problems in type 2 but also fat deposits in the liver and pancreas that interfere with their functioning also. Significant weight loss pulls that fat out of these critical organs and re-establishes BG control. Few people know this. Check out the study.
The biggest lesson for me was not to gradually increase the volume of vegetables as I did not know that your stomach needs time to become accustomed to processing so much fibre. I made a huge mistake by starting consuming a very high amount of cruciferous veggies at breakfast, lunch, and dinner when I first started. For example, I was eating one can of chickpeas, 400 grams of broccoli, 350 grams of cabbage, 200 grams of green beans, 2 zucchinis, 8 celery stalks, and 8 asparagus at one meal. I was experiencing bloating and gassing all day, and the worst part was that I thought that was normal, so I continued doing it to the point where my stomach was in pain and I could not fall asleep at night.
I would cut that amount of vegetables in half and eat more fruits or more starches (grains, potatoes, beans). Too many vegetables means too little calories
@@dj-fe4ck ,, 90% of grains goes to livestock, you can have five minute taste, animals life gone for EVER 😞??? I’m vegan. I don’t hurt animals. And I’m stronger and fitter on a plant-based diet.

Just curious, in your opinion, do WFPB and "whole foods plant based" sound academic and vague? Why not "whole plant food" or "whole plant vegan"? WFPB to my ear seems to allow almost anything yet "based on" some portion of "whole plants".
@@vegahimsa3057 I think WFPB sounds simplistic enough that it should be easy to determine if what you are eating falls into the category of something that would be healthy. I think eating and "diets" has become so overwhelmingly complicated that people give up and grab something packaged because it easier than looking it up in the diet encyclopedia. Eating healthy needs to be simple so people can follow through.
@@jillianzebris1726 if flexitarian with a nudge toward whole plants is the intended message, then WFPB is perfect. But it's explicitly less specific than simpler "whole plant", assuming (as I do) that no one is pendanticly confused by the source of B12, mushrooms, yeast, etc.
I was sick - crippled by disease including a rare autoimmune disease, waking up everyday with pain in my stomach, IBS, allergies, etc. - all gone thanks to a vegan diet and keeping oils to a minimum (not eliminated though) - and I eat a lot of carbs ! I m so healthy now that I can eat avocados or nuts as much as I want ! I don’t need to lose weight now 😂
The unicorn Squatty Potty commercial is amusing indeed, but then again, I sixty going on twelve-years-old. Thanks for the 'solid' advice too. Now, I'm hungry for ice cream. You guys are the best. Love the show.
My breakfast consists of a glass of water, an apple, a garden salad that takes about 20 minutes to chop up with a 5 calorie per 2 tablespoon organic salsa & a splash of apple cider vinegar as it's dressing. This salad contains two cups of greens, peppers onions, cucumbers, celery, shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, diced peaches, pickle slices, and chickpeas. It takes about 20 minutes to eat because there is so much to chew. I'm still under 350 calories at that point, then I have a small banana followed by a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, and as a desert to this breakfast I have a handful of granola made exclusively from nuts & seeds sweetened with a little cinnamon or dark chocolate -thank you Bear Naked for the great choices. This massive meal is less than 1k calories, but represents the bulk of my calories for the day. I usually follow that up with a lunch that includes another apple followed by a bowl of bean chili with some quinoa and a tablespoon of flaxseed mixed in. It tastes great and this is less than 800 calories. Most days that is what I eat. If I am hungry later I may eat a 200 calorie can of vegetable soup for dinner, but I'm not hungry often, & that gets my all of the daily dozen. Less than 2100 calories on a day when I splurge and have the soup for dinner, less than 1900 calories on most days, but it's a ton of food and food that fills you up.
I've found that with meals like pasta, lentils and red sauce, or sweet potato and black bean quesadillas that after a large serving I get to the point where I can't eat another bite. [and that says a lot for me!] If you try to fill up with mostly low energy density veggies [salad, broccolli, etc] and not starchy foods you may end up hungry do to lack of calories.
We have stretch receptors in the stomach, nutrient receptors in the brain, and taste receptors in the stomach and mouth. These are the receptors you need to stimulate to induce satiety. Therefore, eat lots of food or eat more often to keep those stretch receptors activated and you feeling full. Make sure you are stimulating the taste receptors for pleasure, ensuring you are getting the five main flavors in: 1) Salty (celery, salt, miso paste, etc), 2) Sweet (fruit, date paste, maple syrup, etc), 3) Sour (any vinegar or citrus), 4) Bitter (smoked paprika, leafy greens, grapefruit, etc.), 5) Umami (miso paste, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.), and Spicy which is a sensation rather than a flavor (hot sauce, peppers, herbs and spices, etc). Where many people get issues is the fact that they are used to a higher fat-containing diet before switching to a WFPB diet meaning they are suddenly not eating as much fat and stimulating that type of nutrient receptor as much. Also, animal-based products contain identifiable addictive compounds that lead to a true psychological dependence, and oil and sugar are obviously addictive too. For the first month on the WFPB diet, people often do not feel as satisfied as before because they are not feeding their addiction or stimulating their fat receptors as much anymore, but after being consistent for a month (and you should be consistent or else it’s way more difficult), most people’s psychological dependence on those less desirable foods ease up and those healthier foods tend to become more satiating and pleasurable (especially as the gut microbiome changes, but that’s a whole other discussion). That is why you see all these doctors and scientists pushing 28-day or 1-month WFPB challenges. Because afterwards, the person has learned to love the food and be truly satisfied with it and has been able to feel the difference in their energy levels and quality of life and are then so much more likely to make the choice to make it a long-term change. I struggled with the suddenly lower fat diet myself, but I found that eating a little peanut butter here and there or making creamy dishes out of nuts and seeds to increase my fat intake and continue activating those fat receptors helped a lot to ease into the diet. Personally, I think you should eat to be satisfied for the first month to get used to the diet, then you can worry about lowering the fat intake by reducing those nuts and seeds and avocados as discussed in the video if you really want to lose some weight, or don’t if you’re at a healthy weight. As for “eating more and more veggies,” I would recommend sticking to dietary recommendations. The Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine has recommended a fourth of the volume of your diet being vegetables, a fourth being fruit, a fourth being grains, and the last fourth being legumes with a small amount of nuts and seeds tossed in there, if any. This is based off of evidence that suggests consuming such foods in such proportions would reduce one’s likelihood for chronic illnesses and nutrient deficiencies. I would recommend a varied diet rather than putting too much of a focus on one food group, especially if it’s vegetables. To piggy back on Shari T’s comment, a diet too high in very-low-calorie-density foods such as non-starchy veggies will just not allow you to be satisfied because you will continue to be hungry.
@@sharit7970 That’s what happened to me. I started counting my calories for a few days and found out I hadn’t been eating near enough calories. I love that you just get to eat as much as you want on the whole food plant-based diet and it’s good for you. :)
@@dustinmartinsen2932 Exactly! Good detective work solving your own issue...with other 'diets' you never hear that the solution is to eat more food ; )
@Queen Cece @basbleupeaunoire hehe..just do less new stuff, so the body can adjust.. -and keep away from trying to live out of kale and beans, to start with, eat leafy greens and grains instead. -If you get bloated eat less, specially in the mornings, just drink water…
Please, please, please try to reach people with Lyme disease, also. This could literally help millions of people. I feel like a million bucks after Lyme almost killed me.
@@CT2507 I can't say for everyone and it's not just vegan, it's whole foods, plants only, no oil. So nothing processed at all. I gave up healing from Lyme and coinfections. I was nearly unable to walk. Switched gears to work on my diabetes and went to the Barnard clinic. The diet inadvertently put my lyme in remission. Not only am I walking, I'm literally climbing mountains and hiking for miles. I'd shout it from the rooftops for any lymie to give it a try if I could.
@@lisajones8730 am very happy for you. im slowly learning about the benefits of a plant based diet and working on transitioning to it to cure metabolism problems. right now im doing a mix of keto and plant based, since i feel i need some of the strength that meat gives. short term i want to get my thyroid and metabolism back into shape. long term i hope to get rid of my allergies.
@@lisajones8730 just wanted to let you know i haven't had meat for 3 days. strictly vegan and only the fat from avocados, no oils. i have had high blood pressure for years. it was between 147 and 170. after just 2 days with no meat and oils it dropped to 129!! am no longer in the high blood pressure group. :) im still dealing with thyroid problems, but i don't get out of breath like before. 4 weeks ago i stopped with alcohol, coffee and sugar. that of course helps too. i'm simply amazed of what a difference a few days on a vegan diet does to the body. now i'm building up strength for some serious liver cleansings to flush out the stones. feeling hopeful again. not going back to meat! cheers. :)
I went all in as well and it was a bit overwhelming. It was hard to be with myself for a while🤢. I thought I would have to live alone forever do to the gas😂. It did go away and I eat beans and lentils everyday! 😊
I’ve given up meat, dairy, and oil since 5/10/21. I feel great and I’m losing weight. I’ve lost 12+ pounds since starting. My question is, I eat an avocado almost daily and I was wondering if there is any negative to eating that much avocado even while losing weight? I eat rice almost daily also. My exercise currently is mowing my yard with a push mower and dumping the bag frequently, and all the other yard work.
if it ain't broke, don't fix. There's no reason to become a "fundamentalist" in regards to your diet. If you're losing weight, and blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose aren't in a good range, there's no reason to change what you're doing.
I had been vegetarian a long time before I realised I had not purchased meat for a long time. I continued to drink milk and eat cheese. I have always had whole meal granary bread and cook fresh. I don't add sugar or salt except when I make jam from fruit I grow and use 20% sugar to fresh fruit. Some friends suggest they made the most gain by stop eating bread and stop having dairy. They lost weight, a little, where I have managed to increase my weight by a kilogram a year for thirty years. The advise I still get from the doctors etc has been "eat less, exercise more" and then to eat white meat and fish and not red meats, not to drink alcohol and reduce sugar from the diet i.e. no help to me at all. I have tried to remove bread from my diet but the alternatives I have tried leave me very hungry mid morning. I also find advise that we can find conflicting and confusing but the solution is down to the individual - one size does not fit all and what works (to loose weight) for one may not for someone else.
Utter bull. Absolute lies. I don't understand how she get away with it. Sugar causes diabetes and any fool that believes fat does is out of their tree. We've been eating meat since we crawled out of the trees but we've been getting type 2 for a whole forty years. People are dying from type 2, heart disease and mental illnesses only for the past fifty yeas or so and vegans have the cheek to blame what we've been living on for millions of years. That woman is nuts.
👍Good decision Check out 5&10 min vegan meals by the HappyPear also Avantgardvegan great healthy recipes & defo Watch NutritonFacts.org podcast on every thing you need to know👍 Also The Truth About Dairy by Dr Neal Barnard. & lastly watch Cowspiracy It’s time👍😉
People always think that veganism is a natural diet but it isn't. People have never been natural vegans in the whole of history and couldn't be until the 1960s when they started chemically making B12 tablets for human consumption. Man can't live without it and it wasn't discovered until 1948 so before then when people got sick they would be given liver drinks because doctors knew there was something in it that kept them alive. So you see, there isn't a living vegan yet. No one has ever been born and died a vegan. It's dangerous. It's insane.
I have been eating WFPB, all the good stuff and eliminating the fat. However, I just cant get full, especially in the evening. I am literally ravinous. How can I control my appetite late in the day?
@@lauriemalone8574 I finally got a chance to watch Dr. Lisle explain the Cram Circuit....WOW...it just may be the missing piece for me. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and recommending this video. Now I am cramming videos about this subject 😀 and hopefully less treats in the evening.
She was telling lies all the time she sat there. Sugar does cause type 2, and heart disease and a whole lot of other ills. That woman is telling you anything you want to know but the truth.
Yep, being vegan is not enough. Oil/fat, sugar, highly processed foods, drugs, alcohol, chemicals, and additives will take you out too. VEGAN-PLUS and SUPER-VEGAN-PLUS seem like wimpy terms for a healthy WFPB diet, but honestly, they are the best new terms I've heard for a while. Also, Lee Crosby, RD is awesome. BTW: For an all-out gas attack, make a meal of Jerusalem artichokes. :)
Being vegan is nothing to do with whether or not you consume oil, junk foods or smoke, it's a philosophy on ending the exploitation of the other animals by humans, nothing more.
Super plus is great but vague. But no less vague for the majority than the academic WFPB term. IMO, we should call it what it is in the simplest terms: "whole plant vegan".
Great video and episode of the Exam Room and yes a super vegan plus diet is better for us and unfortunately won't get rid of genetic disease and illness but will help manage them.
@@MrJavacash The meat-industry-funded study you are referring to found that people with a vitamin B-12 deficiency experienced permanent shrinkage of the brain and therefore irreversible brain damage. Unfortunately, because we live at a time that our water and vegetables are so clean and free of dirt and bacteria, vegans may tend to be more susceptible to B12 deficiency, although it is still quite rare. Of course the meat industry would lie and say that veganism causes brain shrinkage when in fact it is a B12 deficiency. Fortunately, you can buy a bottle of B12 tablets for five dollars that will last you a whole year if you are in the United States or use supplemented nutritional yeast much like how omnivorous dieters as well as vegans use table salt supplemented with iodine and milk supplemented with vitamin D to prevent deficiencies. The funny part is that people think veganism is an “unnatural” diet because vegans may require supplementation with B12 every once in a while because of modern-day living. What about a long-term omnivorous diet that leaves you with a shorter lifespan and chronic illnesses up the whazoo, not to mention the fact that the omnivorous eater may be more likely than the vegan standing next to him to need nutrient supplementation because of the nutrient dense nature of a plant-based diet. Fortunately, the CDC, the USDA, the U.S. Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the Cochrane database, the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, and many other of the world’s most renowned nutrition research groups agree that plant-based diet’s are not only adequate for all stages of life including pregnancy, childhood, and old age but are exceptional at decreasing rates of chronic illness. Speaking of brain health, through mechanisms still being researched but no doubt linked to the inflammatory nature of a meat-containing diet, about a third of people diagnosed with clinical depression who switch to a whole food plant-based diet end up not having depression anymore. Also, a person eating meat is way more likely to have Alzheimer’s later on than a person on a low-inflammatory whole food plant-based diet. If you’re worried about brain health, I’d switch to a plant-based diet if I were you :).
At some point I’d like to transition to 100% vegan, but currently I eat a can of sardines every day and eat only plant based beyond that one exception. It solves several problems for me.
I have heard that the b12 is actually from dirt. That industrial farm animals are also "fortified" with it, because we no longer have the trace dirt in our diets. What is your take on this info?
Yes, you say That's right. A vegetarian / vegan diet is the best solution to the problem of loss weight. I would say avocado eat well 1 fruit a day. And nuts should be minimized to 5 nuts per day. But excluding meat, bread and sugar to 0 is necessary. These products will help you gain weight.
According to everything I’ve heard wfpb nutritionist say....no, your body does not need evoo. I heard (you might investigate) that it’s better to cook with coconut oil because it can tolerate the heat better. However, it’s even better to air fry without oils.
Need some guidance please. Just thinking about making the switch to WFPB. I’m a 5’2” 60 yo 120 lb healthy woman. But, I’ve never been able to get that “slim” physique (and keep it for any length of time). Will this way of eating get me there permanently and fairly painlessly? Thank you!!
About cooking beans on high heat.... Water boils at 100 celsius or 212 Fahrenheit, not more. So wether you see a few small bubbles in the pot or they are cooking in a rowling boil as Dr lee Crosby says, it is the same temperature in the pot. By definition water can not go above boiling temperature, once it is there, even about to, reduce the heat and save some electricity or... gas...
I had always assumed that vegan was good whole food vegetables and fruits. I was then shown a very poor diet of all vegan food. Whole food plant diet is different.
Byproduct NO it is their food, when honey is taken away, which they worked hard for all summer, it is replaced with sugary chemical slop, so they won’t starve over winter😱
Thank you for the fantastic information and inspiration. My brother and I both lost 20kg last year, after adopting a wfpb diet. I love the videos with Lee and Chuck, they bring so much good positive energy, really helping me a lot. YOU ARE MY SUPERHEROES!

Vegan for self usually fails. We often don't love ourselves enough all the time.
Vegan for the life of innocent animals is what keeps you going.
You are so right/ I been on blood pressure meds for 30 years/ I lost weight and had a checkup by my heart doctor/ he asked me if I was dizzy after checking me out / I said yes I see dark spots all the time / he took me completely off my blood pressure meds/ he said your blood pressure is way to low🤦🏽♀️✍🏾🧘🏾♂️❤️

I eat more being a vegan and stay fuller much longer. I eat one meal a day and have no cravings. I have no cravings for sweets. I also shop cooking with oils and get my oils from nuts and seeds. I get all my motivations from passionate people like u who have our health at heart. Thank u. U are the best. Please do not stop, a lot of us get our continuous motivation from u.🙏💕💕❤️😍
On my fourth week as a vegan and never felt better.
Well I hope you wake up one day soon. Veganism is not only dangerous but stupid. Everything she said was a lie.
Husband and I have been making the switch. We cut out dairy, then most eggs, definitely had to add back carbs (except wheat-very little there). At one point we were very hungry and loosing weight is not good for us. Pretty much just meat and fruit and veggies low on carbs. Now we are just having some meat a dinner just to use up our supply. We don't want to waist the life that gave it to us. Eat the carbs!! Thanks so much. I'm so grateful to have all these amazing resources to make the transition.
Your podcasts recently been getting better abs better. Great job folks! Loved this one!!! 👍🏼💥
So important to talk about the difference between just 'going vegan' and getting all the great nutrients from a whole food, plants only, low fat, no oil eating plan. Thank you .
Chuck, that's an important issue, having a comfortable bowel movement. it's just as important as lower heart attacks, and breast cancer. So, don't shy away from the topic of BM's. For people who have hard, uncomfortable movements, going vegan really helps.
Due2 not having dead animals in your guts👍👍
You two are a hoot! And this video was so full of good information. I'm excited starting a vegan diet. Thank you.
I have not yet seen the video yet. Here are my 10;
1) The putrescence factor of the food you eat will be substantially less
2) You will lessen your risk of chronic disease.
3) You will not need to be a prescription pad casualty.
4) Your taste buds will change and you will notice how fantastic basic foods taste
5) You will have more energy.
6) Your bowel movements will be more regular and more "satisfying" due to the more frequent release of dopamine.
7) Your headaches will be less severe and you will not need ant drug to relieve them.
8) You will contribute to the decrease in the number of farm animals and so
9)More of Earth's resources will be able to be channelled to people.
10) Sentient beings will no longer suffer p[ain and anxiety and will no longer communicate these to their offspring, thus bringing animals and humans closer together in love and affection.
How did I go? I shall now watch the video.
Just want to share my experience and what my culture suggests being an Indian it’s best to Pair red beans and black beans with rice any rice white brown or black There is a simple curry called Rajma curry it’s a norths Indian dish recipes on you tube goes great with rice Also one tip soak the beans overnight and pressure cook for 20 mins
I enhoy these podcasts so much. Thanks for interviewing such valuable professionals.
My poops have never been better lol.
So true
Love and Thanks for all your tips and information 😊🥦
TMI poopey pants🤨
Most people will laugh at this but I was literally hospitalized often for this very reason before going vegan. Pooping is A BIG deal. 💩
Or bigger? The more you put in the more you put out. What a waste of money.
Definitely for long term vegan eaters rather than newbies... ‘just’ throwing out animal products and then ‘just’ taking out the oils, does NOT just happen. One has to find out how to cook/prepare a completely new diet, experiment with quantities, find different products at your nearby shops, find new taste profiles etc etc. I see over and over again that long-termers tend to forget that for those of us who are heading over to WFPBed that this really is a journey, especially if you are preparing food for a whole family and there is no such thing as a vegetarian (let alone vegan) restaurant or take home pre-prepared foods at the stores.
Ps. I have been on a 21-day no animal based challenge and loved how I felt. However... was really craving for dairy and a steak! The main problem though is that I am nastily intolerant to oats (including gluten free oats) and wheat. And because I am not familiar with preparing chickpeas, lentils, beans etc I found I was not eating enough and was hungry the whole time.
Going to truly healthy eating IS a journey...
Thankfully my wife has been doing this for close to a year so the transition is easy for me. I already was a whole foods person and workout regularly. Just had a moral change of mind so that makes not eating animal products easy peasy. Feels pretty darn good honestly!
Great post. There are lots of difficulties, and people should be honest about that. Best wishes to you!
Hi Ann, I completely agree with what you said! It's definitely a journey and learning a new way of cooking and shopping. I found a CZcams channel I am a big fan of (RainbowPlantLife), she has wonderful recipes that do take a bit of time to make but are worth the time and if you love Indian food :). The recipe below I have made multiple times and can recommend that one along with her red lentil curry. The one linked below has a spinach sauce that you make in a blender and you can also just take the spinach sauce and serve it over pasta or use it as a really well flavored gingery garlicky sauce. Best of luck to you 👍

It is true, I apologise on behalf of us long termers😂🤣I woz called a level5 Vegan other day, all these darn labels, names😂It’s just beautiful food that happens 2b health promoting 👍 Learn d art of making Saitan , if you are missing meat, try several recipes until you find 1you like. Stick 2familiar recipes & veganiz them, Happypear 5&10min meals, also Avantgardvegan, purchase an electric pressure cooker, perfect beans every time. When you suss it vegan meals are really really tasty, make a stock& every time recipe say ad water, add stock instead, specially in sauces. Enjoy your journey, your never go back & it gets easier & better.
@@Kevin-uz6sv lucky chap. Did I Cowspiracy do it for you, 😱I hope you spoil the chef 😉
Thanks for the ten tips. I realized halfway through that I watched this video before, but that is great, so I can soak up all the important information again! I remember that it was dr lee Crosby who told me now to tell my doctor if I start having very low glucose levels so now I have been taken off some of my meds. May God’s blessings be yours ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for you both. Thanks 😊
God help you if you keep listening to that silly female.
I thought Chuck was talking to Jodie Foster at some point in the video... Hahaha... Great Energy ⚡ both of you guys!! Thanks for the tips :)
Chuck, you and Lee are so funny together. Good show!
The UK DIRECT trial shows that fat deposition is not just in the muscles and causing problems in type 2 but also fat deposits in the liver and pancreas that interfere with their functioning also. Significant weight loss pulls that fat out of these critical organs and re-establishes BG control. Few people know this. Check out the study.
Very high quality summary of the important things to know.
They don't know what they're talking about.
Thanks for this interview. She's so full of great info.
Great podcast! I love Dr. Crosby. Great energy and lots of good information.
Lousy podcast and a pack of lies. Sugar causes all our modern ills and if that bloody woman doesn't know it there's something wrong with her.
Very good , and very informative , simple , good ,your overall health is going to be fantastic , i love lee Crosby a lot she absolutely wonderful !!!
The biggest lesson for me was not to gradually increase the volume of vegetables as I did not know that your stomach needs time to become accustomed to processing so much fibre. I made a huge mistake by starting consuming a very high amount of cruciferous veggies at breakfast, lunch, and dinner when I first started. For example, I was eating one can of chickpeas, 400 grams of broccoli, 350 grams of cabbage, 200 grams of green beans, 2 zucchinis, 8 celery stalks, and 8 asparagus at one meal. I was experiencing bloating and gassing all day, and the worst part was that I thought that was normal, so I continued doing it to the point where my stomach was in pain and I could not fall asleep at night.
I would cut that amount of vegetables in half and eat more fruits or more starches (grains, potatoes, beans). Too many vegetables means too little calories
@@dj-fe4ck ,, 90% of grains goes to livestock, you can have five minute taste, animals life gone for EVER 😞??? I’m vegan. I don’t hurt animals. And I’m stronger and fitter on a plant-based diet.

All my research has pointed to how great a whole foods plant based diet it! Thank you for sharing this great info!
Just curious, in your opinion, do WFPB and "whole foods plant based" sound academic and vague? Why not "whole plant food" or "whole plant vegan"? WFPB to my ear seems to allow almost anything yet "based on" some portion of "whole plants".
@@vegahimsa3057 I think WFPB sounds simplistic enough that it should be easy to determine if what you are eating falls into the category of something that would be healthy. I think eating and "diets" has become so overwhelmingly complicated that people give up and grab something packaged because it easier than looking it up in the diet encyclopedia. Eating healthy needs to be simple so people can follow through.
@@jillianzebris1726 if flexitarian with a nudge toward whole plants is the intended message, then WFPB is perfect. But it's explicitly less specific than simpler "whole plant", assuming (as I do) that no one is pendanticly confused by the source of B12, mushrooms, yeast, etc.
she's gorgeous and I love her energy. Thanks for posting Chuck 👍
@@batbarasobczak351 I'm ok with that 😁
Another excellent interview - thanks to you both!
I was sick - crippled by disease including a rare autoimmune disease, waking up everyday with pain in my stomach, IBS, allergies, etc. - all gone thanks to a vegan diet and keeping oils to a minimum (not eliminated though) - and I eat a lot of carbs !
I m so healthy now that I can eat avocados or nuts as much as I want !
I don’t need to lose weight now 😂
Thank you very much for this free education!
The unicorn Squatty Potty commercial is amusing indeed, but then again, I sixty going on twelve-years-old. Thanks for the 'solid' advice too. Now, I'm hungry for ice cream. You guys are the best. Love the show.
Very informative. Thanks. Looking forward to more.

My breakfast consists of a glass of water, an apple, a garden salad that takes about 20 minutes to chop up with a 5 calorie per 2 tablespoon organic salsa & a splash of apple cider vinegar as it's dressing. This salad contains two cups of greens, peppers onions, cucumbers, celery, shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, diced peaches, pickle slices, and chickpeas. It takes about 20 minutes to eat because there is so much to chew. I'm still under 350 calories at that point, then I have a small banana followed by a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, and as a desert to this breakfast I have a handful of granola made exclusively from nuts & seeds sweetened with a little cinnamon or dark chocolate -thank you Bear Naked for the great choices. This massive meal is less than 1k calories, but represents the bulk of my calories for the day. I usually follow that up with a lunch that includes another apple followed by a bowl of bean chili with some quinoa and a tablespoon of flaxseed mixed in. It tastes great and this is less than 800 calories. Most days that is what I eat. If I am hungry later I may eat a 200 calorie can of vegetable soup for dinner, but I'm not hungry often, & that gets my all of the daily dozen. Less than 2100 calories on a day when I splurge and have the soup for dinner, less than 1900 calories on most days, but it's a ton of food and food that fills you up.
I’ve never felt full with plant base! If anything I’m eating more and more veggies!
Even with pasta and rice?
I've found that with meals like pasta, lentils and red sauce, or sweet potato and black bean quesadillas that after a large serving I get to the point where I can't eat another bite. [and that says a lot for me!] If you try to fill up with mostly low energy density veggies [salad, broccolli, etc] and not starchy foods you may end up hungry do to lack of calories.
We have stretch receptors in the stomach, nutrient receptors in the brain, and taste receptors in the stomach and mouth. These are the receptors you need to stimulate to induce satiety. Therefore, eat lots of food or eat more often to keep those stretch receptors activated and you feeling full. Make sure you are stimulating the taste receptors for pleasure, ensuring you are getting the five main flavors in: 1) Salty (celery, salt, miso paste, etc), 2) Sweet (fruit, date paste, maple syrup, etc), 3) Sour (any vinegar or citrus), 4) Bitter (smoked paprika, leafy greens, grapefruit, etc.), 5) Umami (miso paste, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.), and Spicy which is a sensation rather than a flavor (hot sauce, peppers, herbs and spices, etc). Where many people get issues is the fact that they are used to a higher fat-containing diet before switching to a WFPB diet meaning they are suddenly not eating as much fat and stimulating that type of nutrient receptor as much. Also, animal-based products contain identifiable addictive compounds that lead to a true psychological dependence, and oil and sugar are obviously addictive too. For the first month on the WFPB diet, people often do not feel as satisfied as before because they are not feeding their addiction or stimulating their fat receptors as much anymore, but after being consistent for a month (and you should be consistent or else it’s way more difficult), most people’s psychological dependence on those less desirable foods ease up and those healthier foods tend to become more satiating and pleasurable (especially as the gut microbiome changes, but that’s a whole other discussion). That is why you see all these doctors and scientists pushing 28-day or 1-month WFPB challenges. Because afterwards, the person has learned to love the food and be truly satisfied with it and has been able to feel the difference in their energy levels and quality of life and are then so much more likely to make the choice to make it a long-term change.
I struggled with the suddenly lower fat diet myself, but I found that eating a little peanut butter here and there or making creamy dishes out of nuts and seeds to increase my fat intake and continue activating those fat receptors helped a lot to ease into the diet. Personally, I think you should eat to be satisfied for the first month to get used to the diet, then you can worry about lowering the fat intake by reducing those nuts and seeds and avocados as discussed in the video if you really want to lose some weight, or don’t if you’re at a healthy weight.
As for “eating more and more veggies,” I would recommend sticking to dietary recommendations. The Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine has recommended a fourth of the volume of your diet being vegetables, a fourth being fruit, a fourth being grains, and the last fourth being legumes with a small amount of nuts and seeds tossed in there, if any. This is based off of evidence that suggests consuming such foods in such proportions would reduce one’s likelihood for chronic illnesses and nutrient deficiencies. I would recommend a varied diet rather than putting too much of a focus on one food group, especially if it’s vegetables. To piggy back on Shari T’s comment, a diet too high in very-low-calorie-density foods such as non-starchy veggies will just not allow you to be satisfied because you will continue to be hungry.
@@sharit7970 That’s what happened to me. I started counting my calories for a few days and found out I hadn’t been eating near enough calories. I love that you just get to eat as much as you want on the whole food plant-based diet and it’s good for you. :)
@@dustinmartinsen2932 Exactly! Good detective work solving your own issue...with other 'diets' you never hear that the solution is to eat more food ; )
Please speak more on GAS AND BLOATING!!!!!!!!! when you are new
OMG, yes.
I’m gassy really bad
@Queen Cece @basbleupeaunoire hehe..just do less new stuff, so the body can adjust..
-and keep away from trying to live out of kale and beans, to start with, eat leafy greens and grains instead.
-If you get bloated eat less, specially in the mornings, just drink water…
@@Randomiz500 Thanks. My gas has gone away since then! But I didn't know that I should avoid/reduce certain foods early on. Oh, well!
From home cooking SAD to vegan, just remove the animal foods without replacement. Slowly introduce beans, lentils, etc.
Please, please, please try to reach people with Lyme disease, also. This could literally help millions of people. I feel like a million bucks after Lyme almost killed me.
does a vegan diet help with lyme disease? didnt know this. i have a neighbor who has lyme disease.
@@CT2507 I can't say for everyone and it's not just vegan, it's whole foods, plants only, no oil. So nothing processed at all. I gave up healing from Lyme and coinfections. I was nearly unable to walk. Switched gears to work on my diabetes and went to the Barnard clinic. The diet inadvertently put my lyme in remission. Not only am I walking, I'm literally climbing mountains and hiking for miles. I'd shout it from the rooftops for any lymie to give it a try if I could.
@@lisajones8730 am very happy for you. im slowly learning about the benefits of a plant based diet and working on transitioning to it to cure metabolism problems. right now im doing a mix of keto and plant based, since i feel i need some of the strength that meat gives.
short term i want to get my thyroid and metabolism back into shape. long term i hope to get rid of my allergies.
@@lisajones8730 just wanted to let you know i haven't had meat for 3 days. strictly vegan and only the fat from avocados, no oils. i have had high blood pressure for years. it was between 147 and 170. after just 2 days with no meat and oils it dropped to 129!! am no longer in the high blood pressure group. :) im still dealing with thyroid problems, but i don't get out of breath like before.
4 weeks ago i stopped with alcohol, coffee and sugar. that of course helps too.
i'm simply amazed of what a difference a few days on a vegan diet does to the body.
now i'm building up strength for some serious liver cleansings to flush out the stones. feeling hopeful again. not going back to meat!
cheers. :)
@@CT2507 wonderful news !! Congratulations ❤
I went all in as well and it was a bit overwhelming. It was hard to be with myself for a while🤢. I thought I would have to live alone forever do to the gas😂. It did go away and I eat beans and lentils everyday! 😊
My lunch time routine is watching Chuck and learn every time. Thanks!
you're welcome
Thank you for another informative video.
I love this channel! :-)
Thank you. I have been binge watching and learning so much👍🏼👍🏼
Just finished a binge watch on Dr Michael Greger podcast👍👍
I’ve given up meat, dairy, and oil since 5/10/21. I feel great and I’m losing weight. I’ve lost 12+ pounds since starting. My question is, I eat an avocado almost daily and I was wondering if there is any negative to eating that much avocado even while losing weight? I eat rice almost daily also. My exercise currently is mowing my yard with a push mower and dumping the bag frequently, and all the other yard work.
if it ain't broke, don't fix. There's no reason to become a "fundamentalist" in regards to your diet. If you're losing weight, and blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose aren't in a good range, there's no reason to change what you're doing.
I had been vegetarian a long time before I realised I had not purchased meat for a long time. I continued to drink milk and eat cheese. I have always had whole meal granary bread and cook fresh. I don't add sugar or salt except when I make jam from fruit I grow and use 20% sugar to fresh fruit. Some friends suggest they made the most gain by stop eating bread and stop having dairy. They lost weight, a little, where I have managed to increase my weight by a kilogram a year for thirty years. The advise I still get from the doctors etc has been "eat less, exercise more" and then to eat white meat and fish and not red meats, not to drink alcohol and reduce sugar from the diet i.e. no help to me at all. I have tried to remove bread from my diet but the alternatives I have tried leave me very hungry mid morning. I also find advise that we can find conflicting and confusing but the solution is down to the individual - one size does not fit all and what works (to loose weight) for one may not for someone else.
sometimes , i love the ending wordings, so nice.
This was a lot of good info. looking forward to the journey.
Pop in2 Dr Michael Greger pod cast😂👍
What are your thoughts on insulin resistance and how can going vegan correct this?
Inspiring. One of your best.
What an inspiring pod cast. Taking big notes about the fat on going vegan
Thank you so much
Please address fermented foods for vegan diet,
Excellent program, lot’s of amazing information!
Utter bull. Absolute lies. I don't understand how she get away with it. Sugar causes diabetes and any fool that believes fat does is out of their tree. We've been eating meat since we crawled out of the trees but we've been getting type 2 for a whole forty years. People are dying from type 2, heart disease and mental illnesses only for the past fifty yeas or so and vegans have the cheek to blame what we've been living on for millions of years. That woman is nuts.
Thank you very much! I really enjoyed your video!
I wish someone told me this kind of information when I first decided to go vegan. Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend.

I am looking in going Vegan and am brand new at it, this was awesome and helpful!!
👍Good decision Check out 5&10 min vegan meals by the HappyPear also Avantgardvegan great healthy recipes & defo Watch NutritonFacts.org podcast on every thing you need to know👍 Also The Truth About Dairy by Dr Neal Barnard. & lastly watch Cowspiracy It’s time👍😉
People always think that veganism is a natural diet but it isn't. People have never been natural vegans in the whole of history and couldn't be until the 1960s when they started chemically making B12 tablets for human consumption. Man can't live without it and it wasn't discovered until 1948 so before then when people got sick they would be given liver drinks because doctors knew there was something in it that kept them alive.
So you see, there isn't a living vegan yet. No one has ever been born and died a vegan. It's dangerous. It's insane.
@@toni4729 & Your hilarious 😂😂😂

I have been eating WFPB, all the good stuff and eliminating the fat. However, I just cant get full, especially in the evening. I am literally ravinous. How can I control my appetite late in the day?
Sounds like the problem I had... try listening to The Cram Circuit.... Dr Doug Lisle PhD it helped me
@@lauriemalone8574 I finally got a chance to watch Dr. Lisle explain the Cram Circuit....WOW...it just may be the missing piece for me. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and recommending this video. Now I am cramming videos about this subject 😀 and hopefully less treats in the evening.
Interesting .. Will take a look 👍
Maybe more fiber? It's literally filling filler.
Follow The Starch Solution. You will never be hungry and will be feeding the good bacteria in your gut.
She was a great guest!
She was telling lies all the time she sat there. Sugar does cause type 2, and heart disease and a whole lot of other ills. That woman is telling you anything you want to know but the truth.
Yep, being vegan is not enough. Oil/fat, sugar, highly processed foods, drugs, alcohol, chemicals, and additives will take you out too. VEGAN-PLUS and SUPER-VEGAN-PLUS seem like wimpy terms for a healthy WFPB diet, but honestly, they are the best new terms I've heard for a while. Also, Lee Crosby, RD is awesome. BTW: For an all-out gas attack, make a meal of Jerusalem artichokes. :)
Straight edge vegan is the term your looking for👍
Being vegan is nothing to do with whether or not you consume oil, junk foods or smoke, it's a philosophy on ending the exploitation of the other animals by humans, nothing more.
@@Flobb1t well we’re aware of that👍
Super plus is great but vague. But no less vague for the majority than the academic WFPB term. IMO, we should call it what it is in the simplest terms: "whole plant vegan".
Great video and episode of the Exam Room and yes a super vegan plus diet is better for us and unfortunately won't get rid of genetic disease and illness but will help manage them.
Thank you both. Great job...
@@MrJavacash The meat-industry-funded study you are referring to found that people with a vitamin B-12 deficiency experienced permanent shrinkage of the brain and therefore irreversible brain damage. Unfortunately, because we live at a time that our water and vegetables are so clean and free of dirt and bacteria, vegans may tend to be more susceptible to B12 deficiency, although it is still quite rare. Of course the meat industry would lie and say that veganism causes brain shrinkage when in fact it is a B12 deficiency. Fortunately, you can buy a bottle of B12 tablets for five dollars that will last you a whole year if you are in the United States or use supplemented nutritional yeast much like how omnivorous dieters as well as vegans use table salt supplemented with iodine and milk supplemented with vitamin D to prevent deficiencies.
The funny part is that people think veganism is an “unnatural” diet because vegans may require supplementation with B12 every once in a while because of modern-day living. What about a long-term omnivorous diet that leaves you with a shorter lifespan and chronic illnesses up the whazoo, not to mention the fact that the omnivorous eater may be more likely than the vegan standing next to him to need nutrient supplementation because of the nutrient dense nature of a plant-based diet. Fortunately, the CDC, the USDA, the U.S. Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the Cochrane database, the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, and many other of the world’s most renowned nutrition research groups agree that plant-based diet’s are not only adequate for all stages of life including pregnancy, childhood, and old age but are exceptional at decreasing rates of chronic illness.
Speaking of brain health, through mechanisms still being researched but no doubt linked to the inflammatory nature of a meat-containing diet, about a third of people diagnosed with clinical depression who switch to a whole food plant-based diet end up not having depression anymore. Also, a person eating meat is way more likely to have Alzheimer’s later on than a person on a low-inflammatory whole food plant-based diet. If you’re worried about brain health, I’d switch to a plant-based diet if I were you :).
Is there any resources to help teach an individual how to start on a vegan diet and the basics for a beginner. Cooking, recipes, and foods to eat.
Great information, and I love that you are color coordinated.
I love your show. Thank you so much for all information. Blessings
She was great, everything she said made total sense to me.
Thanks
perfect...thanks Chuk...you are the best
At some point I’d like to transition to 100% vegan, but currently I eat a can of sardines every day and eat only plant based beyond that one exception. It solves several problems for me.
Thanks for the video ❤
I have heard that the b12 is actually from dirt. That industrial farm animals are also "fortified" with it, because we no longer have the trace dirt in our diets. What is your take on this info?
Love squatty potty!!! But need it occassionaly when I don't drink enough water.
I love you! TY! Your messages are awesome
Where can I find the fiber chart I don’t see it in your links below.
Thank you enjoyed this information !
Awesome Podcast
Yes, you say That's right. A vegetarian / vegan diet is the best solution to the problem of loss weight. I would say avocado eat well 1 fruit a day. And nuts should be minimized to 5 nuts per day. But excluding meat, bread and sugar to 0 is necessary. These products will help you gain weight.
Great show.
Can you please make a list on here when this is over?
Omg I remember the squatty potty unicorn. Worth looking up on youtube!
That's great
What about skinny type 2 diabetics
That was really amazing.Thanks for raising social awareness#Vegan through and through
I am looking for a Dietitian just like her who can do telepath calls in NJ. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dr Barnard's Organization does telemedicine. Maybe check his website to see if it is also in NJ?
It would have been nice if you'd recapped specific points. As they were poorly communicated.
Can you use banana peels for b12? They can be used in tasty recipes cooked with onions etc.
Great show, thanks.
Excellent thanks
I love you people
I cook my vegetables in EVOO. Does my body need EVOO?
According to everything I’ve heard wfpb nutritionist say....no, your body does not need evoo. I heard (you might investigate) that it’s better to cook with coconut oil because it can tolerate the heat better. However, it’s even better to air fry without oils.
Need some guidance please. Just thinking about making the switch to WFPB. I’m a 5’2” 60 yo 120 lb healthy woman. But, I’ve never been able to get that “slim” physique (and keep it for any length of time). Will this way of eating get me there permanently and fairly painlessly? Thank you!!
Thanks great information
So helpful..
I had to stop to watch that unicorn commercial. It was funny!
The thought of not having fiber in my diet. So no carbs and low protein.
About cooking beans on high heat.... Water boils at 100 celsius or 212 Fahrenheit, not more. So wether you see a few small bubbles in the pot or they are cooking in a rowling boil as Dr lee Crosby says, it is the same temperature in the pot. By definition water can not go above boiling temperature, once it is there, even about to, reduce the heat and save some electricity or... gas...
I had always assumed that vegan was good whole food vegetables and fruits.
I was then shown a very poor diet of all vegan food.
Whole food plant diet is different.
Organic fruits and vegetables are expensive in Australia.

So...quick question: What's wrong with eating honey? It is a byproduct of bees and doesn't harm them...
Byproduct NO it is their food, when honey is taken away, which they worked hard for all summer, it is replaced with sugary chemical slop, so they won’t starve over winter😱
