If you had to constantly count Calories after studying nutrition, you should ask for your money back from your college. There's no need to count Calories once you know servings.

I’m 50 yrs old, eat a WFPB diet with no oil, and use soy milk in my morning oats, as well as eat tofu in my stir fry a couple times a week. Ive been eating this way for over 4 years now. I’ve never had a hot flash!
I can honestly say that I was still sneaking a little dairy into my diet when I started having hot flashes. This was an immediate incentive to recommit to whole food plant based and I definitely noticed a difference.
I think we all are! Who couldn’t love him? I wonder how many lives he’s saved? If we all come here for a purpose, how wonderfully he has fulfilled his purpose.
Glad he addressed diabetes and fat. Key to plant based diet if you are prediabetic or diabetic is not to over eat carbs. Don’t eat too much white bread rice or processed carbs. Avoid nuts oils and avocados if you’re struggling with weight. eat more salads and fresh fruits and veggies. Keep track of BMI.
Yes, on keto my ldl went up and I ended up with fatty liver. Thankfully, I have been whole food plant- based since November of 2022 and doing great, losing weight and hope to have my blood tested soon!
Would you ask Dr. Barnard to explain Calorie Density and how we can use that to plan our meals more effectively to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight, please?
I don’t have a problem with nuts, I can control my intake .. I measure 1/2 an ounce every day on a scale and put them on my oatmeal or salad like Dr. B said, my favorites are pecans and walnuts.
I am 5f my wait only 84 pounds. I don’t have medical problems. It’s good for plants 🌱 based. I am eating a lot of green, and advocates every day. Thank
Can you please elaborate more on why blood sugar levels increase when switching to a vegan diet. Should diabetics tweak their vegan regimen in the beginning such as reducing sugar intake from fruits? Thank you so much.
Thank you for this wonderful show. I find that my clients crave fatty foods if they do not eat enough carbohydrates (ideally in the form of fruit) throughout the day. So that might be a good tipp to anyone who is struggling with that. Eat more fruit. At least 1 meal per day (breakfast or lunch), that is just fruit.
Boy do I wish we could control where we gained/lost weight. At my age, weight goes to my stomach. My arms and legs have actually gotten thinner as weight has moved to my mid section, trying to turn me into an apple. Numerous people who've joined the Mastering Diabetes program had their blood sugar get much worse on prior keto diets.
I have lost muscle mass but I can get back some still at my age and yes, my weight is on the stomach mostly. I don't have much left, though. :) A little calorie tracking and a calorie deficit does the trick for me.
I would argue on the cast iron pans. There is a layer on top of the iron that forms from continual cooking, so the odds of iron getting transferred to the food is pretty small. If someone was testing, they probably wouldn't test a seasoned pan. I ruin one of those non stick pans in about a month.
Chuck if you ever come to the Pacific Northwest, I’d love to meet you. Portland used to have the Portland Vegefest before Covid. I’m not sure they have it anymore.
I think Dr Barnard cleared it up that fat is reduced by eliminating oils and nuts. My trap were the nuts and nut butters that I couldn't stop eating as I love them! I went WFPB 6 months ago and since then I lost 18 kg! When my BMI went to 21, I started eating more nuts during the day. My belly is more bloated since!
Typically, running a calorie deficit will eventually get rid of belly fat. You *could* use a calorie tracker for that and it's what I do. I have succeeded in the past getting rid of belly fat. Key is getting at least 1500 calories though, and ensuring all nutrients are consumed in enough amounts. Diet websites like cronometer help that.
So how can someone say you need to decrease insulin but eat Liya of grains and not much fat? Carbohydrates have scientifically the highest insulin response due to blood sugar.
IMPORTANT Q!: Is it true you need to avoid pairing CALCIUM + IRON and CAFFEINE + CALCIUM/IRON (just in natural food sources)? It's easy to take my tea an hour before and after meals, but it's much harder to avoid pairing calcium with iron since I eat tons of foods that are high in both, sometimes within the same food item.
@@Hisloyalservantslistenlove613c I don't drink coffee / tea anymore. I just wanted to illustrate the issue of pairing common foods. For example common combos like steel cut oatmeal + almond milk wouldn't be optimal if that were the case, nevermind adding cocoa nibs. Or plant-based protein powders + almond milk. There are many inconveniences in meal planning if there are significant absorption issues from food sources of iron + calcium pairings.
Here is the easy answer - eat less than what you are currently eating if you are overweight or obese (BMI>=25). But don't eat less than 2000 calories. If you are overweight or obese even after eating as low as 2000 calories, you have to increase your physical activity instead of eating any fewer calories. That's because even if you eat nutrient dense foods, you may not get adequate nutrition if you eat less than 2000 calories. And if you are underweight (NMI
One thing I always want to know from every webinars and videos of dr Neal bernard is that he says (keep oils very low). Well what is that exactly? How much is considered oils low? How much is allowed? My biggest trouble is cooking without oil. I find it difficult when it comes to sauteing garlic etc. Love his videos but really would like to know. What about is ( keep oils very low)? One teaspoon of olive oil to help saute, is that an OK?? I've lost 40lbs on a mostly whole food plant based diet. When I say mostly is because I had my falls but Will definitely continue this path. I still have this oil doubt. I know it's liquid fat and not good but when I use a teaspoon to sauteing or roasting veggies it's such a difference.🤔
If you need to take iron supplement, I recommend plant based iron from curry leaf extract. There is a company that makes organic iron called Orgen-I ®️ Orgenetics, Inc. I take their iron and love it. Super gentle and raised my ferritin, that was only 3.5.
Question?...foods 'in season', read somewhere...example; that you shouldn't be eating 'summer fruits' in the middle of Winter, as the brain/body will 'think', hey! it's summer! & start to do the processes associated with eating fruits in the summer... Whereas, when Winter arrives the 'body', naturally 'closes up' & moves blood to protect the 'vital' organs, the reason why the 'extremities', hands/feet gets cold first! & the aches/pains in bone joints/muscles, as the body 'closes up'... Therefore, should, only certain fruits/vegetables be eaten during the yearly 'seasons'? Many Thanks!
The question about night shift is a real concern and needs a better answer. I was waiting for a good answer and got nothing!!!!. I do 7pm till 7:30 am 3 days per week. The other 4 days I try to live like a real human. Please give some real thought to this and give us an answer!! A real answer. Please. I've gained 70lbs working nights
I think the idea is, this wfpb diet is self calibrating. That is, as long as you are eat whole plant foods without adding calories to them, your body can't gain or lose too much weight. Don't stuff yourself, don't starve yourself. Your body knows how much food you need to maintain a healthy for your specific biology.
Because most WFPB doctors are in their 60s & 70s and wear professional clothing so you can't actually see their musculature lolol, you can only tell that they're thin. Also, how many shredded doctors do you know in general? I've never had a body builder doc. But, if you watch the documentary Game Changers you'll definitely see that veganism sure isn't an issue when building muscles.
@@ladiebug395 I've seen shredded 60 year old people. And these vegan doctors aren't even non shredded. They are more like concentration camp inhabitants and they all look the same. Sure it's probably healthier to look starved than fat, I would agree to that.
I have no idea if I am full or not. And if I think I am full half way through my meal only to get hungry a few hours later what s the point of stopping? I was told eat 3 meals a day???????
I measure my food and consume all of the food for the meal. I know it's different than here. If I get hungry, I eat more, but log it very carefully so I know what's happening =D
It is ok to have a snack. Maybe what you eat has to few calories, so your body tells you correctly to eat some more. If you are unsure, track your calorie intake for a couple of days. I did and was surprised at how low my caloriecount was.
I started a whole-food plant-based diet in 2018 and lost weight immediately without even trying, and over the course of about a year and a half, I steadily lost weight until I'd lost 32 pounds without effort. That amazed me because I had been dieting and trying to lose weight all my life and my weight had yoyo'd up and down for so, so long. When I went WFPB and stopped trying, then I lost all that weight! BUT I was still 10 pounds above my goal weight when I reached a plateau where I have been for about 1 year and a half. I haven't gained and I haven't put any real effort into losing but my body just stopped losing. I'm also approaching 70, and I'd like some advice from the good doctor, too, @kindcounselor.
Our bodies have a natural set point. Natural vs trained are two different things. Natural is where you would be had your weight always been ideal. Trained is what xcess you've taught your body to carry. That's why we will flatten out and stop. Just keep going
Some ppl (Incl doctors) say that if you have hypothyroidism, you should avoid cabbage, cauliflower, etc. Is that true?! Do they/cruciferous vegs have negative influence on hypothyroidism?l
For me personally it is too imprecise on the subject of B12. He ignores the intrinsic factor and that the intake of a large amount per day is nonsensical, since the body can only absorb a fraction per intake.
Robbie Barbaro is a Diabetic, who can eat losts of Fruit because he does not eat any Animal, & does ot eat much fat, kinda the way I eat, except, I'm not a diabetic, & don't worry about getting Diabetis, but I do suffer from Fungal infections if I eat more than 10% Fat per meal for several days. Candida Albicans (Fungal infections) are not fun either, and I don't have my gallbladder since 1996, i've been a Vegan/Vegetarian for almost 17 years, & did not feel better from many various health issues, i wont name, but once I became more of a Raw Fruit & Plant-based LifeStyler, wow! I began to heal & think & feel so much better. I do not do well with cooked foods much.
Once I start eating I feel hungry the rest of the day but I suffer from waking multiple times at night and strongly feel the need to eat or I can’t go back to bed. It’s controlling me and wearing me down. I eat over 500 calories in the night. Can you offer suggestions. Also I been vegan 5 years and my MCV levels are rising and my b12 and folate are in range so is this normal for vegans?
The nonprofit website NutritionFacts.org is great for detailed videos and articles about every specific nutrition question, because they consolidate and read every valid nutrition science study in the world. Look for his “daily dozen” recommended amount of food for optimal nutrition. Amazing website by the doctor who wrote How Not To Die, Dr Michael Greger. He’s appeared in many of the same food documentaries as Dr Barnard.
I think you may be getting types 1 and 2 confused. They're discussing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes works in a two-fold way--the pancreas starts to produces less insulin and at the same time the cells don't respond to insulin (insulin resistance). So for someone with a severe case of type 2 diabetes will sometimes inject insulin to add more insulin and hope their cells respond to a higher concentration of insulin, even though they are insulin resistant. People with type 1 diabetes produce no or very little insulin, but their cells respond to insulin just fine, meaning they inject insulin everyday. Type 1 diabetes isn't controlled by diet, only insulin injection. Only severe cases of type 2 diabetes inject insulin; most people with type 2 control their diabetes through diet and weight-loss.
@@ladiebug395 controlling their diet? If you mean eating less carbs and more fat, that is making you more diabetic, but showing less symptoms. So that is not a cure. And there is at least one case of someone who cured himself from diabetes 1. He started to run marathons. Anyway, eating saturated fats and trans fats and cholesterol is causing diabetes. So that is the first thing you should stop taking if you want to cure yourself. If you take insulin, your body stops making it. But my question is why people with even diabetes 2, who’s receiptors are blocked, find relieve by injection of insulin. So you are saying; more insulin will eventually make the receiptors work again? Dr. Neil Barnard is comparing the receiptors with a lock that has been blocked by chewing gum (fats) so if more insulin is used, the fats will not be able to block it any longer.
Robbie Barbaro loves fruit, & just about could live on only Fruit (whole organic awesome mother nature's gifts to us to eat much cleaner than cooked foods.
if you would pick and eat a good amount of fresh and unwashed wild herbs, treeleafs, mushrooms etc. grown on a healthy soil with the necessary bacteria all from the forrest, you wouldnt need a b12 supplement. I do this from time to time. But who else does this in our modern world?
@@rl9808 Lets suppose a person who eats whole-food-plant-based gets 15 minute of sun. Will they get the same level of D? The reason I am asking is that the currently recommended levels of D are based on population of meat-eater. Is it necessary for vegans to target the same level? Or could it be less?
@@cigileyAtTR 137lbs. Fasting? Big mistake. I'm actually under weight but could be at 18.5 if I reach 140lbs which still isn't good enough. If all the weight goes to your belly, just rock it somehow. It will fill out your butt and limbs eventually.
@@godemperormeow8591 haha. Thanks for your thoughts. Your probably right and it's mentally hard to gain belly weight but I've been doing it. After my ankle sprain heals I will be back to eating a lot of food again. Experimenting makes life fun.
Supplements are harmful to body. Supplement B12 is harmful too but lack of it is more harmful to body. So other Bs nutrition should directly come from food!
Sorry. That's not true. I'm vegan and i know that you can get saturated fat on a vegan diet. 🥥 coconut milk, 🌴 palm oil and even nuts can have a tiny bit of saturated fat EVEN THOUGH it's minimal. So by saying saturated fat only comes from animal products is not true. Could you please 🙏 discuss the pros and cons of plant based saturated fat even though the amounts they contain are substantially lower than animal products. Thank you kindly and I don't want it to sound like I don't enjoy the podcasts. I love them but, you have got to talk about a subject FULLY. If you don't, then the due hard, refuse to listen non vegans will pick holes. Don't give them the opportunity.

Also I been vegan 5 years and my MCV levels are rising and my b12 and folate are in range so is this normal for vegans?
Dr. Bernard, what is your take on the intermittent diet for reversing T2D? thank you so much.
I'm eating zero carbs and doing fine.. and I don't count Cal. Can you guess what diet I am on?
How much of grains and leafy greens is enough per day to have enough protein and sufficiency in all micronutrients and minerals?
The nonprofit website NutritionFacts.org is great for detailed videos and articles about every specific nutrition question, because they consolidate and read every valid nutrition science study in the world. Look for his “daily dozen” recommended amount of food for optimal nutrition. Amazing website by the doctor who wrote How Not To Die, Dr Michael Greger. He’s appeared in many of the same food documentaries as Dr Barnard.
@@LisaLightning Thank you very much for getting back to me and for your recommendation. I saw the daily dozen video and it is indeed very useful!
I have lost 40 pounds so far. I have hit a plateau and I think it's the nuts...but I LOVE NUTS! Nut spreads and sauces. 😥
Hi, im just wondering if the COLLAGEN GRASSFED is good for you???
No
Can we eat 1 Avocado per day in plant based diet?
Yes
How about tofu?
How come if the insulin receiptors are blocked by fats, that they work again when injected with insulin?
I think you may be getting types 1 and 2 confused. They're discussing type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes works in a two-fold way--the pancreas starts to produces less insulin and at the same time the cells don't respond to insulin (insulin resistance). So for someone with a severe case of type 2 diabetes will sometimes inject insulin to add more insulin and hope their cells respond to a higher concentration of insulin, even though they are insulin resistant. People with type 1 diabetes produce no or very little insulin, but their cells respond to insulin just fine, meaning they inject insulin everyday. Type 1 diabetes isn't controlled by diet, only insulin injection. Only severe cases of type 2 diabetes inject insulin; most people with type 2 control their diabetes through diet and weight-loss.
@@ladiebug395 controlling their diet? If you mean eating less carbs and more fat, that is making you more diabetic, but showing less symptoms. So that is not a cure. And there is at least one case of someone who cured himself from diabetes 1. He started to run marathons. Anyway, eating saturated fats and trans fats and cholesterol is causing diabetes. So that is the first thing you should stop taking if you want to cure yourself. If you take insulin, your body stops making it. But my question is why people with even diabetes 2, who’s receiptors are blocked, find relieve by injection of insulin. So you are saying; more insulin will eventually make the receiptors work again? Dr. Neil Barnard is comparing the receiptors with a lock that has been blocked by chewing gum (fats) so if more insulin is used, the fats will not be able to block it any longer.
Robbie Barbaro loves fruit, & just about could live on only Fruit (whole organic awesome mother nature's gifts to us to eat much cleaner than cooked foods.
I am 5 f
is 500 mcg b12 every other day okay?
Why do I need b12 if I am plant based? Why can’t I get all my nutrients without supplements?
B-12 is almost always supplemented nowdays so almost everyone gets it in this way. It's bacteria-made,it was once found in soil etc.
B12 is found in Meat and not in plants hence why you need to supplement it if you go vegan.
@@parmdeepjagdev8395 B-12 is not found in meat exclusively and it doesn't come from meat.
if you would pick and eat a good amount of fresh and unwashed wild herbs, treeleafs, mushrooms etc. grown on a healthy soil with the necessary bacteria all from the forrest, you wouldnt need a b12 supplement. I do this from time to time. But who else does this in our modern world?
@@parmdeepjagdev8395 the only reason there is B12 in meat is because they give the cows supplemental B12.
His (Dr. Barnard) cheeks look swollen in the video, why? Does anyone else notice this?
It's just his jaw line...he's pretty lean.
Yes his bone structure
Are there any studies of status of vitamin D among vegans?
Get some sun, 15 min a day.
@@rl9808 Lets suppose a person who eats whole-food-plant-based gets 15 minute of sun. Will they get the same level of D? The reason I am asking is that the currently recommended levels of D are based on population of meat-eater. Is it necessary for vegans to target the same level? Or could it be less?
@@igorbukanov1920 you should probably get a bit more with the lower cholesterol. Remember, lower cholesterol is not a good thing!
body weight is simple.. how big belly cna you pinch xD
or the tights.
if you pinch 2 inch of fat star tto worry
that forced at smile is scary xD
👍
Is a cholesterol level of 115 too low?
no. can't be too low unless you have genetic problem. The lower the better. Especially LDL.
Wow, that is an excellent cholesterol. How did you achieve it? 👏
That’s low
@@jani7th 10 months of a whole food plant based no oil diet! 🌱🌱
@@donwinston awesome, thanks!🌱👏🏻
I think Dr. B has some bacon stored in his cheeks.
6'1" gotta eat 4000 calories just to maintain my weight. Yeah buddy! (I have to eat all the time.)
I hate you 🤣😍
Enjoy those potatoes. :)
What is your weight? I'm the same height but skinny from 122 pounds to 125. The extra calories go to my belly sadly.
@@cigileyAtTR 137lbs. Fasting? Big mistake. I'm actually under weight but could be at 18.5 if I reach 140lbs which still isn't good enough. If all the weight goes to your belly, just rock it somehow. It will fill out your butt and limbs eventually.
@@godemperormeow8591 haha. Thanks for your thoughts. Your probably right and it's mentally hard to gain belly weight but I've been doing it. After my ankle sprain heals I will be back to eating a lot of food again. Experimenting makes life fun.
Why only B12 & not a B complex?
Supplements are harmful to body. Supplement B12 is harmful too but lack of it is more harmful to body. So other Bs nutrition should directly come from food!

Sorry. That's not true. I'm vegan and i know that you can get saturated fat on a vegan diet. 🥥 coconut milk, 🌴 palm oil and even nuts can have a tiny bit of saturated fat EVEN THOUGH it's minimal.
So by saying saturated fat only comes from animal products is not true.
Could you please 🙏 discuss the pros and cons of plant based saturated fat even though the amounts they contain are substantially lower than animal products. Thank you kindly and I don't want it to sound like I don't enjoy the podcasts. I love them but, you have got to talk about a subject FULLY. If you don't, then the due hard, refuse to listen non vegans will pick holes. Don't give them the opportunity.
No disrespect intended. Just a disturbing observation. If this is a healthy lifestyle then why does Dr. Barnard looks so emaciated???
The low carb people have new studies where are your studies???
Yes theres studies. No they didnt list them here. No I dont have the links saved.
Dr. Barnard is the best!
