Been plant based since I was 26. I am now 56. I have more energy than people half my age and I do not look like most 56 year olds. My blood work is always perfect, has been for years. I am extremely active and have absolutely no problem with my weight, never have. If you do it correctly, being plant based can bring you excellent health.
Please tell us what you eat
Eating the way God intended. Read the bible. It is all there.
Agree
Genesis 1:29 tells us the original diet before Adam & Eve introduction of sin and imperfection due to breaking God's commandment in Genesis 2:16,17 and it's why death was introduced into humans. If you say you don't believe this Why can't science answer and explain why we die? And when people do die Why do we get upset about it? If it's natural that wouldn't happen.
@@phillatella6470 A variety of fresh vegetables and fruits. I usually make most things from scratch. Protein sources consist of tofu, tempeh, seitan, and beans. The internet is filled with all kinds of vegan recipes for just about everything. Some of my favorites are from Chloe Coscarelli, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Nora Taylor and Six Vegan Sisters. Everyday, I make a protein smoothie with the Super plant based protein. I think for me, when I started this whole vegan venture, there were almost no cookbooks, no internet. I really had to dig around for sources and make everything from scratch. I also tried recipes from several different cultures so that I did not feel like I was eating the same thing all of the time while I was learning. It’s a process. It takes time to learn, but today there are so many resources that were not available back then that it is much easier to do today. The most important thing is to have lots of variety in the diet, as well as good protein and B12 sources.
I started transitioning to a plant based diet 2 months ago and everything changed! My high blood pressure disappeared! I had stress incontinence after my last baby a year ago, it disappeared! My hemorrhoids disappeared! One time inflamed xiphoid process normalized. I was blown away meanwhile I started this diet cos I wanted to lose weight but soon as I saw shits disappearing I decided to ask my doctor for my blood work! My cholesterol & liver enzymes went down drastically! Sadly, my doctor was a little shady when I first told her I was transitioning and I needed my blood work! Well, I didn’t mind her attitude and did my blood work, and she emailed me telling me my cholesterol and liver enzymes have improved compared to the last time they were taken when I had my last baby! No explanations, just your labs have improved! So, I emailed back and said please explain what the liver enzymes mean, then she emailed me the bombshell. She sent a comparison of my my liver enzymes and the difference was so huge. My ALT went from 36 to 18 & AST 26 to 17. I was like “Bye Doctor, I’m not coming back to your office no more” To think that she wasn’t excited for me initially and when the results came back great she tried to make it seem like nothing, I definitely don’t want her services anymore! Also, I wasn’t 100% vegan, I still ate my knorr bouillon , honey and others yet I had great labs, I decided to go All In today! I’m having spinach,onion, potatoes, almonds & my homemade salad dressing for NewYear dinner while watching my favorite cute 🥰 doctor Barnard!
Wow!! Thanks for sharing that! Good job, and yes find a doc that is more supportive! Two years after going plant based, my doc praised my labs, saying "Your number are way better than mine!" He was 25 years younger, but he was happy and supportive to me. Good luck and your post is a good motivator!
That is beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Congratulations on your improved health.
I’M SO PROUD OF YOU 💖
We're so happy for you! It's up to you to share your positive experience with family and friends to help them as well. Plant-based eating helps people, animals, and the environment.
I am in my early seventies and I ran across your videos and started watching them. I decided to give veganism a try 6 weeks ago. I have lost 10 pounds, got off of one of my diabetes meds because my blood sugar dropped from an average of 128 to an average of 91, and I am trying to get my doctor to let me get off of my blood pressure medication because my b/p has been normal for the last 4 weeks.
Thanks for helping me out, Guys!
Way to go! 👍
I just turned 60. Did myself a birthday gift and started whole food plant base lifestyle. I wish I started earlier
When he mentions how a vegan diet strengthens the immune system... I'm a healthcare worker and tested positive twice for covid within the last year with zero symptoms. I've been plant-based for 4 years. Some have said, "Well, it's because you're just getting tested regularly", but I feel it's the foods.
Being plant based doesn't make anyone 100% immune to diseases. It lowers the risks is all.
@@rebelraccoon9018 ...AGREE!!!👍
Same here! People tell me it's because I'm young (28yrs old). But I know it's the vegan diet. Got covid and only had a headache and pain in my joints for 2 days. Covid came around again in my family, and had no symptoms ar all the second time.
Yeah, I would only bother getting vaccinated so that I am less likely to infect others and to travel. Not really concerned about the virus otherwise.
6 in our household, live together. All vaxxed and boostered. 3 got COVID. 3 did not (all 3 vegans). Sheer coincidence??
I went vegan “cold turkey” and never looked back! It’s amazing what plant based nutrition can do for body and mind!
Me too and it's been the easiest "diet" thing I've ever done.
I started this 3 days ago and loving it so far . 😊
So did I many years ago!
I am plant based vegan since 20 years now. In my 40th year I stopped alcohol and started weight lifting approximately 15-20 tons before lunch. 5 times a week. I was always slim, now I am mascular, too with a body fat percentage of max. 8%. Never felt healthier.
Eating the way God intended. Read the bible. It is all there.
Congratulations 🎊
I've been plant based for 6 years, I'm 53 and feel great! I run marathons AND eating this way cured my most bothersome menopause symptoms.
That is so good to hear!!!!!!!
Awesome!
Please tell me more about how it cured the menopause symptoms, what did you eat?
@@mumliznyaori7301 not eating meat and dairy alleviated my symptoms. I eat whole plant based foods.
@@VeganSoulMama What do you have for breakfast coz I don't know what to replace Tea with?
I have to admit I went vegetarian about 2 months ago. My diet is 95% vegetables and fruits. The plumbing in my system has vastly improved. I was quite impressed with myself. And I'm 67.
Remove dairy
1) Lose weight and keep it off (no need to count calories)
2) More energy
3) Better sex life (erectile dysfunction goes away)
4) Stronger immune system (reduces chances of getting covid-19)
5) Lower rate of disease (no cholesterol in plant foods & higher in fibre)
6) Longer life
If only my husband was on board....
I have just started plant based diet and I am already feeling better
I went off my plant based diet today. I feel lousy.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been completely WFPB for five months - thanks to PCRM and Dr. Gregor - and cannot believe the improvements in my health. My thyroid is getting better and better (even after a partial thyroidectomy), blood pressure has drastically improved, and my weight is FINALLY going the right direction. Thank you all so much for your diligence: you truly are making a difference!
Well done 👏 Great to hear. I need to get more wfpb.
I have been meat and dairy free for 4 years and am still learning. I can't believe how delicious some of the plant based meals are that I've been able to make. My frustration is at restaurants, plant based offerings are extremely limited where I live in rural Pennsylvania, unless you just want salad. However, close to the cities, there are more plant based items on the menus!
If there were more plant based items on the menus then you should have taken a napkin and wiped it off.
@@beepbeepnj2658 😂😂 omg ...that made my day!!😂
I love Dr. Barnard. He has such a kind and warm-hearted appearance and is able to explain correlations clearly and with a sparkle of humor. 😁 Great man! ❤🍀
I am so happy that I read your book, Dr Barnard. Have gone vegan for 6 months and both my husband and I feel great. My husband’s blood pressure has gone down and our cholesterol down as well. It is so beneficial but not easy for everyone. Friends all asked how about iron intake and all nutrients from meat? I then tell them go read your book.
Spinach and lentil they has so much iron 😋
Ask them where the cow got its nutrients
Thank you for great information on happy new year, Dr Barnard and Chuck!
Want to share my plant-based diet experience. I was sick for 37 years, taking all kind of medication from propanolol, Lipitor, allergy pills and over-the-counter pills.I suffered daily migraine headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, tinnitus, indigestion and yes erectile dysfunction.
One day I decided to switch to plant-based diet. Soon afterwards most of my problem went away. My daily propranolol dosage reduced from 180 mg to 40 mg; no more chest pain no more migraine headache tinnitus is at minimum. I feel great and I’m very energetic; and yes I still suffer Erectile great function at the age of 65.
You suffer dysfunction or great function ?
I now suffer erectile GREAT function!
@@tomnguyen8639 there's hope for me yet.
I think people think "endless boring steamed vegetables" when they hear "vegan." But look at a plate of hamburger and fries - various shades of tan to brown. Boring. Tonight I made an Engine 2 "salad" full of mango, avocado, black beans, red bell peppers, sweet potato and cilantro. Bright, vibrant, lovely to look at. And even lovelier to eat. Vegan dishes are NOT boring or bland.
You guys have changed so many lives. Thank you for everything you do!
I convince, my husband to eat a plant-based diet. Recently, he got a physical check-up including blood work. His doctor gives him a bill of health, and the nurse compliments him on how clean and clear his blood is. The best side effect is, he started to take up roots, and now I know where he is.
I wanted to ask if there is any problem with the added calcium in soymilk? I noticed mine has a lot, 400mg per 250mL serve, 160mg/100mL. I've been fully plant based for 6 months now and never felt better and my blood tests are unbelievable. I'm glad I dont have to age fat and stiff, I have now control over my health without the annoying hurdles of traditional diets. Your work saves lives guys!
Many thanks Dr Barnard,and Mr Chuck. A very happy new year to you both
Im currently transitioning to plant base diet, THANK YOU for these videos and all your info
I am a new vegan from today!
Been plant based off and on for five years, but went fully on board with no turning back seven full weeks ago. My dad was diagnosed with advanced stage liver cancer; I just left his funeral. My poor sweet Dad didn't know any better; I do. I don't want my children to go through the seven weeks of hell I have been through.
Happy New year Doc and Chuck! Vegan for animals from Croatia, EU sends regards 🌱😊
Thanks!! I try to catch each episode live. Today, I did. Thanks for all the info and support. You guys are great!
Dr. Barnard is right on and that's exactly what happen to me and wasn't really trying. My concern was Cholesterol levels were high. I first lost 12lbs. and my cholesterol went down. So grateful and won't change
my lifestyle.
I was excited to see reduced cholesterol on a plant based diet..but no such luck. Must be genetics for me.
Thank you Dr. Neil. I have been vegan for around 17 years. I am nearly 45. Your passion and zest for life makes me want to do better in everything I do.
Whole food plant based diet is not "among the healthier" -- it is THE healthiest!
Eating the way God intended. Read the bible. It is all there.
No its not your delusional.
I started my wfpb diet a week ago and my diabetic symptoms started to disappear. Never gonna go back to my old lifestyle.
Care to share details ? I was on KETo, Yes I lost weight and blood sugar lower, but if I accidently ate A Bit of CARBo the blood sugar spike, I really hate that and feel tired of that, Now I am Vegan since 2 days ago and am trying to fix the insuln resistance so i can eat a little Carb again ...will give it a try for few months.
Thank you for being so relentless on this subject.
Thank you so much Dr Barnard & Chuck😀.
Happy new Year Chuck and dr N Barnard I listened to the physician Committee every day looking forward to the show in 2022 Plantbased for 2 Years very healthy but fall very sick after my booster 3 weeks ago, Viral infection
Chuck and Dr Barnard are the Best, thank you so much for your program, Dr. Barnard your advise and calmness and willingness to share such important information means so much, I prefer to do on the natural, i have gone plant base this year, it is Horrible what our government has allowed with the Animal Abuse and has been going on for years, the workers are completed unbearable, i wish i could snap an finger to help out, more than what i am doing now. I surely hope this country turns around, has to be a world wide effort, God Bless You and your family God Bless our Nation.
I’m 56 years old I love watching U2 Dr. Bernard is my mentor and I really like watching chuck. I was diagnosed with minor coronary artery blockage not enough to warrant a stent I’ve been a vegan for over a year and I feel great.I am a Struggling a little with the psychology of my diagnosis even though it was a year ago but your videos give me confidence it seems like every video you guys have I learn something new. THANK YOU & God Bless
I am 67, while I have not been diagnosed with any medical condition so far, thanking God for that, but I am morbidly obese. I’ve been on this transition to plant-based now for seven-weeks still don’t feel energetic. But in seven weeks I lost 7 pounds…Looking forward to the health benefits, energy, and body to go back to its normal size.
Great start! Way to go!
Stick with it. Things will improve. I went to a low oil vegan diet 3 years ago after a minor heart attack due to clogged arteries. My arteries are clean now, my blood pressure is lower and my LDL cholesterol is lower. Lots of benefits to a whole food plant based diet. You are on the right track and you will succeed.
Adding in just walking 4-5 times a week will help with your energy! I started by walking and i still walk but also lift small weights and cycle.
@@johnmatthews4822 I started today walked for 15 minute it was hard/hurt but it felt good to move forward into this new lifestyle. Thank you for the encouragement😀
@Cas Fewer I did start drinking more water with lemon last week because I thought it may be dehydration. I can drink about 9 glasses that is my limit for now. It has helped for sure.Thanks
Thank you for this valuable information!! Good health to everyone!
Thank you again !
Thank you!
Totally off topic but close your eyes and listen to Dr. Barnard… does anyone else here Jeff Goldblum? Lol! Love them both!
I've officially been wfpb for 23 days. I have high blood pressure and I have a drs appointment tomorrow. Can't wait to hear my results!
Thank you
Thankyou, ihave been a vegan, for 2years now my health is getting better
Thank you both! Dr Barnard you are so soft spoken and love how you articulate the information we need to know about plant based!
Is it ok to have store bought Vegan cheese and mayonnaise once in a while?
That vegan mayo calls me by name when I am near it. But I just had labs and though my total chol was below 200 my ldl was up to 115. Ok, so, another incentive to give it up and my 2/3 times a week visit to the golden arches for coffee and 2 choc chip cookies and my everyday chip addiction. LOL. I'll have to put my big girl pants on. I'll replace with healthier choices.
I’m just getting my mind set to go plant base for health reasons. I’m just trying to figure out how to get started.
So important!
Great video! Happy NY!
Went vegan three years ago and implemented time restricted feeding. Dropped 24 points in one year (179 to 155) and have kept it off. Cholesterol below 140 - HDL/LDL ratio very good.
This makes me want to eat even better. This was so life altering. I made it through my 40s caring about less diets.
Thank you for motivating to stay on track in plant based diet🌱❤️ I'm trying by limiting any animal based products to minimum, since I have abandoned diary products such as milk, yogurts, butter, cheese first visible signs are on my skin and I have less runny nose and sinuses inflammations which was my health nightmare so many years (since I was 6 yrs). There are more and more substitutes. Generally a long way ahead of me to eliminate hormonal problems, but that's my aim. And I try to replace meat by preparing tasty dishes without meat. The app is also very helpful, I can find there inspirations for quick, tasty, vegan dishes
Great discussion. I know it works. I still get cravings though.
I lost about 100lbs after I started smoking mmj. I didn't make any significant diet changes, not at first. I did gradually cut things out in part or entirely. I started with limiting dairy, processed foods and salt. MMJ really helped make dietary and lifestyle changes. I went entirely plant based this past summer. I want to maintain and continue to improve my health. I have years of damage to reverse.
Love your work. I’ve been plant based for around 10 months now and all I can say is that I wish I knew about plant based diets before. It’s a life changer and I have no plans to ever go back to a meat based diet. It’s much easier than I ever thought.
Excellent video! Did not know about the free 21 day app! Man that would have been so helpful! Lol going to download anyway and give to my friend, mom, and husband who are thinking of joining the life style with me!
LOVE that thumbnail😆😍
Dr. Neal Barnard
Your right
Plant based diet is very strong
This thumbnail is everything lol love it
I'm still trying to figure out how to get started
I am male age 82, was diabetic with high BP, stage 3 CKD and had quadruple heart bypass surgery 5 years ago when I weighed 270. I discovered WFPB 4 years ago and am now 205, BP is 110/65 without pills, A1c = 5.4%, TCHOL
It’s my 4th day as a Vegetarian, almost Vegan. I have already lost 3 pounds. I feel lighter on my feet. I’m 46 so I have noticed more blood flow down low. These are the good. The bad is I am feeling a little light headed, low on energy and tired. I also quit drinking sodas at the same time so Day 4 No sodas and no meat. I think maybe I’m low on protein or something else that meat had in it. I am excited though about all the research and how I’m already feeling. Is there anything I can do to feel better now? Thanks guys. I decided kind of on the fly to do this change. I did not plan ahead at all.
I love this show!
I even stopped drinking alcohol
I have been eating a whole food only low carb diet since January 13th, 2023 to reduce inflammation to ease the symptoms of Crohn's disease, degenerative disc disease, Chronic kidney disease, Osteoarthritis and non alcoholic fatty liver disease and to improve my blood pressure to get off of hypertension medication. It has been working really good for me, it has reduced my joint pain, improved my insulin resistance and improved my blood pressure so I was able to stop taking the medication and I was able to start exercising daily since February and now I walk my dog 3.3 miles a day and workout 20 minutes a day with 3lbs dumbbells. I have lost 52.5lbs so far, but the only thing it hasn't helped is the nausea and abdominal pain from Crohn's. I saw my gastroenterologist on 05/24 and asked him what diet I should eat and all he did was direct me to the Crohn's and Colitis website that was useless. I did see a couple of videos the last few days that both doctors recommended a whole food Vegan diet, so I decided to give it a try. I had to order all new food and give my boyfriend all of the animal products I had. I am fasting today to try to reset my gut and will start the diet tomorrow but I will be leaving out the pasta, rice and potatoes that most vegans eat to stay low carb.
Could postmenopausal dryness actually be clogged arteries in the nether regions? After all there is a lot of tumescence going on in women too when things get really nice.
Does cocoa like Hershey non gmo powder still contain flavonoids that can be beneficial? Or do they loose the benefits due to the processing ?
I used to be on keto for 5 year’s . Now i heard plant based is my healthier for thyroid. I switched over to plant based. I’m still having alitte trouble with my breakfast and lunch.. I love my salmon and eggs. Will it hurt if I eat 2 eggs with my avocado?? I snack on nuts . I believe I still need help. Great vedio you two.
Thank you for your help.

HNY Chuck and Dr Barnard. Could you help? I am fully vegan for the last year , no processed food and miniscule oil. I have had Long covid for the last 22 months and can't seem to get my energy levels etc back. In fact, the last year has been worse and I have had to cut my work hours by more than a half. I am quite good in the mornings I have read Dr Goldner's protocol on green smoothies and raw vegan foods to hyper nourish the body and wondered if you had any advice as mentally it is affecting me now that it has gone on for so long.
Introduce meat and dairy back into your diet and you'll feel great
@@ric9021018 sluggish and inflamed is more like it.
Can you advise what I can do to stop eating sweets
How do I get the 21 days plan, from Guyana and not a technology person. Don't understand much about internet.
I've been vegan for 2.5 years vegetarian for 7 years. But im still fat. Im not a oil user, candy eater, or processed food eater. I feel good, have great blood work, but im 40 lbs overweight. The scale just doesn't budge. I'm happy for all of you, but weight loss has not been my experience.
Intermittent fasting.
@@kittyswanson3611an hours walking or swimming a day.
I've been on Keto and had managed to lose wait, but have gained some back. I do want to be healthier and always wonder about going Vegan - how does this work with being a diabetic. I also have high blood pressure. I'm 67 and want this year to be a getting healthier year for me and my husband. I'm also concerned about so much salads, which I love, but can't have everyday due to diverticulitis. I would love to know more and if this is something for me. Happy New Year!
Potatoes and rice are my staples. Bags of frozen veggies are easy to warm up. Soup, banana or avocado toast for my littlest kid, hummus and carrots/celery or on a spoon. At work in a pinch I throw a can of beans, corn, Ro-Tel, and mushrooms together. Salads are great, but I honestly don’t eat that many. Keel watching videos and reading. You will find your way. 💚 oh! And eliminate added oils and artificial/chemical ingredients as much as possible.
search for vegan/plant-based videos by dr milton mills, neal barnard, dr klapper, etc. i learned a lot about how to heal diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. i have a whole playlist full of videos by them!

I’m a little confused over this dietary fat making blood thicker. My understanding is that saturated fat isn’t soluble in blood so the body uses lipoproteins to carry them around the body in the bloodstream as a triglyceride load. This surely means that thicker blood has nothing to do with saturated fat in the diet getting into the bloodstream. The only fats that might directly enter the bloodstream are MCTs which mainly come from plants and indeed the body regards them as carbohydrates. Even then, they flow straight to the liver and are used for energy.
Fat is thick and it goes into your blood!
Happy New Year from Illinois..I am transitioning to a whole food plant based diet.not sure how to start. Am concerned about vitamins and to know if I am getting all nutrients my body needs..any suggestions? Thanks!
On the description page, they have a link to their 21 day vegan kickstart program for beginners. They also have a collection of videos addressing your concerns called Nutrition in a Nutshell on their playlist.
@jdw0426 Thank you for the information. Appreciate it!
Eat the starchy vegetables because they will help you over the hump of missing meat. Eat kidney beans, all varieties. Eat it with rice, quinoa- soaked overnight first because it can be bitter. Eat plenty of sweet potatoes, mash it up with apples and even oranges for extra sweetness. Eat lima beans, peas white potatoes, russets. Sprinkle ground Flax seeds and nuts here and there. These foods help with fullness when you think you might falter and go to your old ways. Oats, faro and millet for breakfast with fruit and seeds are good too. Oh and faro tastes good in a soup or stew.
@thinkin outloud thank you for the help. Appreciate it.
Hello chuck, could you do a video on Lupus ? I have a friend that I have been trying to get to go plant based but she won’t because her Dr told her no. 😒 That doesn’t make any sense to me. Thanks for all that you do.
See Dr golden about lupus
Maybe she could get a new doctor?
I have Lupus. I was anemic for years, even went for iron supplements intravenously with little success. After going vegan I am finally no longer anemic and have some colour in my face. I’ve noticed I have more energy, my low mood has lifted, breathing has improved, circulation has improved, I’m more alert.
You have to wonder about these doctors!
I went plant-based several months ago and want to know if you can talk about antidepressants and the possibility of weight loss on a vegan lifestyle.
I recently went on a plant based diet and my weight has reduced significantly in 2 months.I need advise on what kind of foods can help with high calcium intake.
@Cas Fewer Thank you.
Amaranth is good too
Plant based diet changed my life and put IBD in remission. But many people argue that humans evolved by eating meat. Some argue otherwise. Which is true?
I am pre-diabetic. Do you mean I can eat as many carb as I want? And so with fruits? I love apple, mangoes and most fruits. Thanks!
Eat whole plant foods as much as you want except avocados.
Where is it?
Honestly, I'm a vegan, and I plan on staying vegan despite this, but I've had quite the opposite effect over time. When I lost all my weight, I was still eating loads of meat and dairy for 95% of the time. I swapped to vegan and taught myself how to cook and bake for the last 15 pounds to get down to 148 lbs at 5'10. I felt great and normal for a while, but then nowadays, I'm very often fatigued, lethargic and the likes. I think it's more the effects of having restricted food drastically for over a year, but I still never had these issues before I had gone vegan. I eat a very varied diet and don't have any vitamin or mineral issues, or internal bleeding or anything else like that, yet I'm still anemic and have been for quite some time. Although that came before I went vegan.
how can i find your video in french ?
I have started to go vegan and I haven’t wanted to eat meat over Christmas but the sweets is a bit different can you help with any advice please
When you're thinking you might fall off the wagon because of your sweet tooth, try eating sweet potatoes with grated apples, oranges and sprinkle with ground flax seed and nuts. It helps me from falling back into the cupcakes and such.
Hi everyone, I started a wfpb for 10 months now, I started because of my high cholesterol which I tried to keep at boarder base for 7 years by cutting out red meat and all fatty foods.However my last bloodwork showed that it had gone up and doctor said I might need medication, I told her to give 3 months and sure enough when i went back my cholesterol was gone. I lost 32 lbs I am 64 years old and now weight 125 Lbs.. healthy for me. Here is my problem I noticed my hair thinning a LOT and my strong long nails now breaking for first time in 30 years !! my friends all blame my whole food plant base diet !! Please help is this true, I think I eat well, love my veggies, whole grain, fruits !! oatmeal ect. what could i be missing I also take a multi vitamin.
you might want to get some blood work - crp, vitamin levels, etc. you could be low on calcium, protein, fat and other nutrients...also, your caloric intake might be too low.
Plantiful Kiki has her own channel and just did a video on exactly this. specifically hair thinning and how to fix it.
Can a plant based diet help with multiple sclerosis?
Short answer is "yes". I am not a doctor but I understand that it is an autoimmune disease. If you cut out meat & dairy you reduce dramatically the intake of pesticides, antibiotics, diseases, pus, heavy metals etc. I also recommend that you look at fasting as a way to reduce the symptoms. Get googling! There is so much information out there. Good luck.
What’s wrong with lacto-ovo vegetarian???
Does Vegan diet help for insomnia ?
Dislike the conflation of veganism with a plant-based diet. The former is an ethical philosophy that happenstance entails a plant-based diet, whereas someone could choose to be plant-based for any number of personal reasons. Other than that, good discussion.

in going vegan
I notice that Chuck called out greasy pizza. Very nice distinction because one can make whole grain crust no oil vegan pizza loaded with veggies that is delicious and causes no dysfunctions!
Hopefully it will help with depression anxiety and loneliness but first I need to know what do I do first I mean how do I know what to eat for breakfast
I am just thinking about going this way to eat.. What about oatmeal blueberries cinnamon and nut milk?
answer below
It's too hot for oatmeal I love blueberries and raspberries no no not so much I tried it any other suggestion
I struggle every day with finding good food to eat and then I gotta have something sweet I know it's mine over matter but it's really hard
can you talk about canola oil and different oils and what to look out for in vegan products that you should stay away from? Like what vegan products are not healthy for you?
avoid anything with oil. all oils. all bad.
So explain the keto diet which is high fat meat etc and people have lost tons of weight come off of blood pressure meds reversed diabetes etc. This is all so confusing. I tried it and lost a lot of weight looked younger skin looked amazing but it was hard to stick to

5 years on a plant based diet, people close to me challenging why I am biased and only criticise meat and never talk about many benefits of eating meat on moderation? What is an argument against?
For me it's being against animal abuse, suffering, and death regardless. But for those who still commodify animals and aren't swayed by empathy for them, animal proteins have been shown to increase inflammation which is an underlying cause of many ailments and diseases. Other health problems, and certain cancers are also associated with meat and dairy. Happy 22 😊🌱🐾🌏💚
So why is there no mention of plant toxins and carbohydrate toxicity?
When someone goes on a vegan diet they should do it for the animals also, not just their health.
