I don't think it was accurate to compare cooked rice with uncooked pasta. The two should either be cooked or uncooked. Conflating the two variables makes the calorie comparison unreliable.
You need fat. Fat is essential. You have to have healthy fats in your diet. Your going to deplete your body of fat soluble vitamins. Don't listen to these high carb people. Just know that there's no essential carb. Look into the vegan keto diet it's much healthier than the high carb diet.
Hi both of you I still eat fat and so does she! I just don’t cook with oil. It’s just added stupidness and she was the FIRST I heard it from and then I did a lot of research. I still get enough fats in from avocado, nuts, and just random stuff with fat in it! If like bread or sauces or eating out have oil in it I don’t worry. I just mean cooking it’s not needed
catlover09 hi please read my comment below I never said I don’t eat any fat :) I wouldn’t say I’m fully high carb vegan but not vegan keto I just eat whole plant based foods and enough to satisfy me and the occasional vegan junk food because I’m human. I’ve lost 30 lbs in a year since going vegan (I was 20 lbs over weight and could not get it off) and I’ve gained a lot of muscle, hair, nails, skin improved and much more energy. Thanks for being concerned though
I think it's different for every person, I need coconut oil because of my candida so I cook my veggies with coconut oil or steam them but for the sake of variety, eating only raw or steamed veggies can get boring. I can't eat starchy vegetables, legumes, fruits, grains and carbs so I'm left with only green veggies and I have to make them in different ways to avoid getting bored. I eat a lot of nuts and avocado though.
imagine we had a "I wanna enjoy myself" stomach near our stomach and we can just click on it and jar of peanut butter I eat goes there and I can just not digest it
Hey everyone I hope you enjoyed this video, here is another great one on weight loss tips if you need any help with that! th-cam.com/video/A7hWZc3fUZA/w-d-xo.html
I love using avocado as a salad dressing!! I didn’t think adding a mashed avocado with a little pepper can add such a satiating richness to a salad without the refined oils ☺️ I thought salads would still taste boring but it was such a simple, huge game changer for me!
Before I started watching your videos it hadn’t even occurred to me that you can cook without oil! Please do make that hack video! Just purchased your instant pot book - thanks for inspiring us and creating delicious healthy oil-free meals xxx
You literally have help so much to change my eating style. Firstly make me curios to search more information and to educate myself about healthy eating not starving. For me was really a game changer mentally to understand that weight loss is not equal with starving. I am still at the beginning with not much visual result, but I fill so much better and I just start listening to my body again. Thank you for making so useful videos not just for views. Thank you for not stopping coming with new ideas.
Do you have any recommendations on how to use potatoes? I know you can boil them or roast them in the oven, but I'm not sure what more to do with them, or what foods to combine
@@wolfsbane1991 ParadiseLost I usually cook them in the microwave and eat them plain with some salt and seasonings together with vegetables. Sometimes I sautee them in a pan with a little olive oil and herbs, or make potato fries in the oven, mashed potatoes, hash brown, soups and stews. With sweet potatoes sometimes I eat with some peanut butter and jelly or mashed them and I put sweetener and cinnamon, is so good! I like it simple, but I'm sure there are many recipes you can check on TH-cam. Hannah might have some. But you gave me ideas for my channel ;)
@@wolfsbane1991 cut them into wedges sprinkle with your fav herb.. ie rosemary and roast them at in a warm to hot oven for about 40 minutes serve with a dip or salsa.... Or roast them hole with or without skins ( I love the skins) sprinkled with thyme and garlic in an oven for an hour... Until golden brown. Or just boil until soft,.. and mash in cooked kale.... (curly K)... as we called it when kids.... Serve with a veggie burger or sausage and veggie gravy Or very thinly slice and layer in a deep dish with sliced garlic and onion and pour in soy cream and sprinkle with vegan cheese... Bake for one hour......... Vegan potatoe Gratin I could go on and on... As kids we had spuds at every meal, it was common in Ireland in the 1970s and 80s And no problem with obesity back then....as a kid none of my friends were overweight... AHIMSA
What about the fact that a lot of calorie dense foods (mainly fats) help satiety not just during the meal but AFTER too? Like sure I might be fuller eating two platefuls of steamed broccoli than one plate broccoli oven fried in oil, but for how long will that keep me satisfied? I've started eating a higher fat amount and noticed WONDERS in how much it has helped me to not snack constantly because HCLF doesn't make my satiation sustainable. Of course there might be people (such as you perhaps) who benefit more from a lower fat diet, but I get the feeling that you're trying to promote HCLF as if it's the BEST tool for weight loss for everyone. I was HCLF vegan for two months until about three weeks ago, and all it did was make me constantly hungry (even though I was eating enough calories), bloated and miserable. I now feel way more in tune with my body, I feel that I can actually trust my hunger cues and not always have to make sure that I have snacks on hand because I might get sudden hunger pangs from eating mainly calorie diluted food.
That's not entirely the point. Hannah is often talking about the mass of food itself. I take it you are eating the regular amount of calories, however your portion sizes would have to be less than a HCLF persons. If eating smaller calorie dense meals suits you then go right ahead, but a lot of people are satiated when they feel physical "fullness". The ability to consume more for the less calories is great for digestion, cleaning out the intestinal tract and allowing you to feel lighter and more energetic because your body isnt weighed down by trying to breakdown and digest heavy fats. If the serving sizes are too large simply halve them and eat 6 meals a day instead of such a bulk amount of food 3 times a day etc. Oil is absolutely terrible for you, and I don't see how you can stay within regular calories eating bulk healthy fats like nuts and avocado etc. You mention that you've only been doing this recently since giving up your HCLF trial. It may be possible that your body has kicked into starvation mode and will be storing those fats very quickly. This can only lead to heavy weight gain if you were ever to break this "diet". 💕🌻
I find the foods mentioned are a lot more filling than the counterpart. For example when I snack on nuts I often go out of control and over eat on them. Avocadoes being less calorie dense is better to eat more of than nuts I believe. With avocados I would probably eat them in combination with another meal and that would be pretty satisfying. I also love fats (and I don't think Hannah said cut them all out) but it is true it is easy to go overboard with them sometimes.
I prefer fat to carb, to be honest. I have to eat pounds of food to feel satiated when I'm eating low fat. And just one hour later, I feel hungry again. But when I eat high fat, I get full with a smaller portion, and it keeps me full for hours and hours.
This is all stuff I know but don't really think about every day and now that you have laid it all out, I need to start thinking about it again. Thanks for this. I don't think we can see this enough when we are on this journey. Great info and should be used as a monthly refresher for all people.
+Janice G sorry, in what world is replacing defatted peanut flour mixed with coconut oil or BUTTER better/healthier than the nonsaturated fats and minerals found in regular peanut butter???
I love your approach! I’m working on weight loss and the easiest thing for me has been to make these swaps! I’ve eaten more than I ever have before and I don’t feel like I’m suffering at all! Banana oatmeal, fruits and veggies as snacks, and then a big ol rice and beans salad bowl has been the way to go and I’ve lost about 15 pounds!
I really appreciate that you break everything down. I'm just starting WFPB and it's hard to find info that isn't hard to follow. And in my area there are NO plant based nutritionists. I'm literally having to re-learn everything I know about food and like I said, videos like these make it so much easier. So thank you!
Hannah this video was so good I didn’t find you to be rambling at all. It was concise, informative, and the topics were well structured, easy to follow. I loved how after the swaps you explained more 👍👍
I’m on a weight loss journey too and can definitely relate on having to do food swaps! I encouraged myself to talk about my journey too. Thank you so much for these great suggestions! Love your videos 😊
Your tips are really really good for blood sugar control, not just weight loss! I really appreciate this video as I've been trying to do a lower calorie density diet, and this helped put a lot of foods into perspective for me! Thank you!
Oh my god I can't close my mouth over the fact that one tablespoon of oil has the same amount of calories as one pound of steamed vegetables wtffff mindblowww Thank you so much for the infooo!!
You are SO beautiful. Whenever I talk about my skin goals, I show people your videos lol... and by the way I LOVE that shirt! Much love from Miami, Emily
Excellent vid. Crystal clear contrasts on calorie density. So important for us to know this principle. Very well done here. I feel like we should watch this every day until we get it in our heads. Thank you!
I'm so BLESSED to have found your channel. Not only do you give amazing tips but you have given me so much inspiration to eat, live a better lifestyle ❤️
Vivian Bernal check out Plant Eats - he's vegan, ate a bunch of vegan not so healthy food over summer vacation, just started to get back into healthy, whole foods eating, mostly based on soups and salads and vegetables as the main components with other real food on the side - his channel is great.
What you said about alcohol really resonated with me. It was like a light bulb went on that's been dim for a long time. For anyone reading this, it starts at 10:00. Brilliant.
I used to have issues with that too, but I feel less bloated with a few simple things that I pay attention to: - I like to have raw greens with my meals. It helps the digestion! - I avoid things that are hard to digest! For me that can be foods with gluten/ refined foods like pasta and bread, but also certain veggies eaten raw. I prefer to steam/ roast my broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. I find it easier to digest! - Legumes can get you bloated if your gut isn't used to them. If you eat certain things daily/regularly, your digestive tract is going to get used to it and bloating will cease. - Legumes from cans/ jarred have more starch then if you soak and cook your own. The last one prevents bloating. - For breakfast I often only have a massive portion of fruit (enough to fill me up), which is the easiest thing to digest whatsoever and most likely won't get my bloated at all! (only apples have pectin which might get you bloated)
95% of people do get used to legumes, fibre,... but the other 5% have to find a way around it... the best thing for me was drinking herb/spice tea that has fennel, anise etc. in it
Chrystal Thornton I used to struggle with this too. I have to be careful with how many beans/legumes I have. Cruciferous veggies too like cabbage, CAULIFLOWER (ugh lol) and broccoli. I have very small amounts of those. Opt for more watery veggies like zukes. And don’t eat fruit with anything, ever. Also eat a bowl of spinach with your meals. For some reason, spinach helps. It’s crazy. Lots of water! Now I just have the problem of pooping all the damn time hahaha. Hope that’s helpful. Took me a long time to figure all of that out!
Great advice! This is probably the #1 piece of advice for maintaining a good weight. I am feeling fuller eating rice and have not gained a pound. When my kids say they aren't full, I say drink a cup of water after the meal. It really works.
The oil was my biggest challenge. But once I got past my own head, cooking took on a whole new dimension, freeing me to experiment in different directions. Yes, pleas do no oil recipes. Your instructions have been so helpful. Thank you forever!
hannah1432mac the reason people click on this is to get weight loss tips. i’m pretty sure if you didn’t wanna weight you wouldn’t be watching this. this comment was really unecesary.
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to tell my friends! Thank you for putting the time and effort into making this so that more people can understand that you don’t have to be hungry when losing weight or when you’re on a budget (since the lower calorie foods are very cheap)
I would love some oil free cooking advice! I avoid using oil most of the time, but I struggle with some foods like onions or stir-frys ... I really appreciate you talking about the reality of loosing weight, not idealising a way of eating irrationally. Some people think just by going vegan you will automatically and magically loose weight, but in the end it is actually very simple and calculatable. Thanks Hannah! 💗
Hi Hannah. I've been a vegan for a little over one year and love the lifestyle. Your video today on eating more and weighing less was a real eye opener. I've been trying to lose weight ever since I started eating vegan, but have never lost an ounce. Never gained, never lost. Now I see what I'm doing wrong and, starting tonight, I'll follow your suggestion and keep everyone here up on how I'm doing. Thank you Hannah. I love your channel and can't wait to see more. Please show us how to cook without oil. Give your kitties and doggies a pat on the back for me. From a happier fellow Tucsonan.
I'm really glad that you mentioned that the "calories in versus calories out" thing doesn't have to be starvation. The problem with that method is because it sounds like it is promoting starvation, like you literally have to force your body to burn more calories and take in fewer which might mean going hungry. And I used to think that myself. But it really is just focusing on the quality of your food and eating less calorie dense foods. I'm really glad you cleared that up for me :)
Great video! It’s so good to put things into perspective & is also a like a reminder to eat whole plant foods & avoid the processed junk because it doesn’t take long to add up especially if you are focusing on weight loss or even weight maintenance.Thanks Hannah😊
I would love more oil free dressing recipes as well! Sometimes I'll put some avocado, lemon, and spices into my food processor with water to make an oil-free dressing. You can also make some oil-free hummus and water it down enough to be a dressing.
@@louisahula4984 thanks i never thought of that. I already make oil free hummus, ill try that. Ill try the avacado one also. Ill have to spice it up. Avacado tastes too plain to me.
A cooking oil free hacks video would be amazing! All of your videos are SO helpful and I have learned so much from you after going vegan this past year. Youre such an inspiration and I love you so much!
Alkohol is labeled as "carcinogenic" for humans as a warning label in chemistry. I was actually shocked, because i thought it would be toxic, but plain carcinogenic is just terrifying!
Hannah, this video was incredible. I cook oil free, but did not realize the difference in the calorie density. Thank you for this very valuable information. keep it coming.
oh WOW! Incredibly Helpful - THANK YOU LOVELY HANNAH! I am soooo Happy to have discovered your channel (as I was searching for Dr. McDougal recipe videos) 😊👏🏾
I got this idea from forks over knives and I love it! Mashed avocado with a splash of lime juice. Then you fold the greens in. It doesn't pour like most salad dressings of course, so feels very different when making the salad. But once it's mixed in, it coats the salad leaves and adds moisture and flavor which is what ya need in a salad dressing. And it's delicious! I'm guessing because of the fat from the avocado it still feels like a typical salad dressing.
I've made a really nice dressing using silken tofu, lemon juice, a bit of dijon mustard, and your herb of choice. Blend it up in the Nutribullet, and you have have a pourable dressing (add a bit of water or more lemon juice), or leave it thicker to use as dip or mayonnaise replacement in something like a potato salad. It's really delicious and has the same texture as a cream based dressing without the calories!
Great video! I’ve learned so much from you the past year and a half. I eat this way now and it’s awesome, going oil free is a game changer, I absolutely love it. I feel so much better and when I do eat food with oil now, I don’t even like it! Thanks again, I love watching your journey. Love your outfit too! 😊
Great video! However, don't forget about the fact that the right type of oil and nuts are really healthy for you in moderate amounts. Also, rice is very bad for the environment as it needs a lot of water while growing. Do not forget that there are many other factors that play a great role while choosing food than calories.
Water used in crop growing finds its way back into other uses eventually. It isn't destroyed. There is a natural water cycle. That water in rain clouds doesn't come from nowhere....
Hi, i’m new to your channel & the whole whole food plant based diet. Despite having been able to renounce fried food & eggs, i managed to cut them down significantly. I’m not trying to lose weight but trying to gain weight after my evil doctors put me through 6 months of hell of cancer treatments. I must say it had not been easy journey but trying out this whole food plant based thing for 10 days now, i no longer feeling hungry or stuffed despite not having a tongue anymore. I can still enjoy my favorite korean & japanese meals minus the animal products in them. I’m actually gaining muscle in the past 10 days that i can notice. I will share this w/ my cousin who’s trying to lose weight
Please do the oil free cooking hacks. I always want to grease the pan when I’m baking fries. I’ve tried lining the pan, but it always sticks when I don’t use oil. 😔
Please do! Our vegan household is oil free, but my husband still whips out the "emergency" coconut oil spray for weekend pancakes bc they sometimes stick on our non-stick pan! Ugh, I should just toss the damn thing lol. Anyway, love you and yes please make an oil-free hack video!
Hi Hannah! Love the video! Another good point to add, is that when drinking any liquid while eating, the body still has to digest the liquid first before the solids! Therefore, it is best to avoid drinking while eating for best digestion of foods!
The example of a meal is a huge help. I never learned to cook from home and so I'm starting from scratch now that I'm trying to lose weight. But I can cook rice and rinse canned beans and cut veggies. So that was a really good meal example that I will try. The comparisons are eye-opening
i think this video is abit obsessed on calories not nutrients which it should be based on, especially triggering for those with eating problems. you have to enjoy yourself, its not all about more calories, eat dates and nuts just in control they arent going to make you fat !
Not to be rude, but the entire point of the video is not to show "healthier" alternatives, it is to show more calorie efficient foods for those who track calories, so you're kinda missing the point.
I recently started cooking with oil after 2 years of oil-free cooking. It really makes me feel more full! When I was doing oil free cooking I was snacking all the time because I was never really satisfied. This stopped when I introduced oil to my diet.
Love this! I have been working on my calorie density swaps the last couple of months, and my satiety has increased significantly and my weight has dropped. Great video, Hannah!
I do appreciate the comparisons, thank you! I also appreciate your commenting that sometimes dense foods is actually worth it for feeling satisfied. I also like that some calorie dense foods add a variety of nutrition and healing properties to the body when eaten. Again, thank you for sharing. I always learn great tips when watching your videos. :)
Michelle Willadsen Exactly. I mean, an avocado or handful of nuts are calorie-dense, but I doubt anyone could dispute their health benefits if you’re not actively looking to lose weight.
I feel like hanna must have so much patience to be recording such slow weight loss... Plus the mental trust to eat so much and not think you’re gonna gain weight

it's easy, just get a good none stick frying pan. Choose to ad a tiny bit of water or not when cooking.
Steam veggies 😉
don't ad any water if that's how you feel.

Finally. Such an easy approach to weight loss that works and is sustainable. THANK YOU!
You are SO beautiful. Whenever I talk about my skin goals, I show people your videos lol... and by the way I LOVE that shirt!
Much love from Miami,
Emily
Excellent vid. Crystal clear contrasts on calorie density. So important for us to know this principle. Very well done here. I feel like we should watch this every day until we get it in our heads. Thank you!
More! More! More of these!
I'm so BLESSED to have found your channel. Not only do you give amazing tips but you have given me so much inspiration to eat, live a better lifestyle ❤️
When I started a vegan diet, I lost 20 lbs, but now my diet isn't all that great...I definitely need a change.
Vivian Bernal check out Plant Eats - he's vegan, ate a bunch of vegan not so healthy food over summer vacation, just started to get back into healthy, whole foods eating, mostly based on soups and salads and vegetables as the main components with other real food on the side - his channel is great.
Me too!
What you said about alcohol really resonated with me. It was like a light bulb went on that's been dim for a long time. For anyone reading this, it starts at 10:00. Brilliant.
imo not really fair to compare cooked rice with uncooked pasta by weight...
@@dp2404
The body doesnt receive it well.
Pasta lives matter
This is absolutely the best video you have ever made. You described calorie density perfectly and gave me the reminder I need. Thanks for posting.
aw thank you im so glad you liked it!
DO NO OIL COOKING HACKS PLDSSS
Yes please make a video for no oil cooking if you haven't already!!! Your videos are a treasure trove of great recipes, encouragement and knowledge.
Oil free cooking hacks yes 🙌🏼
This is a brand new perspective! Thanks for introducing the information in such a malleable way! Lots of changes will be happening around here!
Should do a video on bloating on a vegan diet. With all that fibre I felt 6 months pregnant most of the time.
So Gojiman says.
Yessss, bloating
I used to have issues with that too, but I feel less bloated with a few simple things that I pay attention to:
- I like to have raw greens with my meals. It helps the digestion!
- I avoid things that are hard to digest! For me that can be foods with gluten/ refined foods like pasta and bread, but also certain veggies eaten raw. I prefer to steam/ roast my broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. I find it easier to digest!
- Legumes can get you bloated if your gut isn't used to them. If you eat certain things daily/regularly, your digestive tract is going to get used to it and bloating will cease.
- Legumes from cans/ jarred have more starch then if you soak and cook your own. The last one prevents bloating.
- For breakfast I often only have a massive portion of fruit (enough to fill me up), which is the easiest thing to digest whatsoever and most likely won't get my bloated at all! (only apples have pectin which might get you bloated)
95% of people do get used to legumes, fibre,... but the other 5% have to find a way around it... the best thing for me was drinking herb/spice tea that has fennel, anise etc. in it
Chrystal Thornton I used to struggle with this too. I have to be careful with how many beans/legumes I have. Cruciferous veggies too like cabbage, CAULIFLOWER (ugh lol) and broccoli. I have very small amounts of those. Opt for more watery veggies like zukes. And don’t eat fruit with anything, ever. Also eat a bowl of spinach with your meals. For some reason, spinach helps. It’s crazy. Lots of water! Now I just have the problem of pooping all the damn time hahaha. Hope that’s helpful. Took me a long time to figure all of that out!
Great advice! This is probably the #1 piece of advice for maintaining a good weight. I am feeling fuller eating rice and have not gained a pound. When my kids say they aren't full, I say drink a cup of water after the meal. It really works.
Yes! I'd enjoy the oil free tips. I LOVE crispy tofu. How do you get a crunchy crust without oil?
The oil was my biggest challenge. But once I got past my own head, cooking took on a whole new dimension, freeing me to experiment in different directions. Yes, pleas do no oil recipes. Your instructions have been so helpful. Thank you forever!
Life isn’t just about calories, maybe some people would rather have dates than a massive bowl of blueberries? Nothing wrong with that.
It’s calories in vs Calories out that’s all that’s matters
This is just a tool for people trying to lose weight
hannah1432mac the reason people click on this is to get weight loss tips. i’m pretty sure if you didn’t wanna weight you wouldn’t be watching this. this comment was really unecesary.
farley harris if u want to lose weight it’s all about calories it was unessesary tbh
Some of us are "volume eaters" and we like to feel full. Seeing these comparisons is very helpful to a lot of us.
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to tell my friends! Thank you for putting the time and effort into making this so that more people can understand that you don’t have to be hungry when losing weight or when you’re on a budget (since the lower calorie foods are very cheap)
Dam.... That really makes sense.
Thank you 🌱
THANK YOU!!!!
I have used your methods and it really WORKS!
You have changed the way I think about food, and it has changed me for the better.
Oil free hacks video would be great and what type of cookware you use.
I would love some oil free cooking advice! I avoid using oil most of the time, but I struggle with some foods like onions or stir-frys ...
I really appreciate you talking about the reality of loosing weight, not idealising a way of eating irrationally. Some people think just by going vegan you will automatically and magically loose weight, but in the end it is actually very simple and calculatable.
Thanks Hannah! 💗
Totally need a video on oil free cooking hacks! Xx
I LOVE visual videos like this :) really really enjoyed it thanks
That oil and pb looked so gross haha! Btw we are loving your instant pot book. Beautiful pics and Derek's so funny!!
Hi Hannah. I've been a vegan for a little over one year and love the lifestyle. Your video today on eating more and weighing less was a real eye opener. I've been trying to lose weight ever since I started eating vegan, but have never lost an ounce. Never gained, never lost. Now I see what I'm doing wrong and, starting tonight, I'll follow your suggestion and keep everyone here up on how I'm doing. Thank you Hannah. I love your channel and can't wait to see more. Please show us how to cook without oil. Give your kitties and doggies a pat on the back for me. From a happier fellow Tucsonan.
Yes, more oil free cooking hacks and oil free dressings!!!!! LOVE this video. ❤️
I'm really glad that you mentioned that the "calories in versus calories out" thing doesn't have to be starvation. The problem with that method is because it sounds like it is promoting starvation, like you literally have to force your body to burn more calories and take in fewer which might mean going hungry. And I used to think that myself. But it really is just focusing on the quality of your food and eating less calorie dense foods. I'm really glad you cleared that up for me :)
Awesome video babe 🤗❤️
Great video! It’s so good to put things into perspective & is also a like a reminder to eat whole plant foods & avoid the processed junk because it doesn’t take long to add up especially if you are focusing on weight loss or even weight maintenance.Thanks Hannah😊
I already cook without oil. It is really easy, but im having trouble with oil free salad dressing. Could you do an oil free salad dressing video.?
Patricia Ridarelli. She already has a really good oil free salad dressing video. Try searching it.
I would love more oil free dressing recipes as well! Sometimes I'll put some avocado, lemon, and spices into my food processor with water to make an oil-free dressing. You can also make some oil-free hummus and water it down enough to be a dressing.
@@louisahula4984 thanks i never thought of that. I already make oil free hummus, ill try that. Ill try the avacado one also. Ill have to spice it up. Avacado tastes too plain to me.
Patricia Ridarelli she has a video where she shares some recipes for oil free salad dressings :)
My favorite oil free dressing is nut / seed butter (especially Tahini) + vinegar + a little water + salt, pepper + a tiny bit maple syrup
A cooking oil free hacks video would be amazing! All of your videos are SO helpful and I have learned so much from you after going vegan this past year. Youre such an inspiration and I love you so much!
Alkohol is labeled as "carcinogenic" for humans as a warning label in chemistry. I was actually shocked, because i thought it would be toxic, but plain carcinogenic is just terrifying!
Hannah, this video was incredible. I cook oil free, but did not realize the difference in the calorie density. Thank you for this very valuable information. keep it coming.
*Eats rice crispy and watches this because I'm gonna start my diet "tomorrow"*
oh WOW! Incredibly Helpful - THANK YOU LOVELY HANNAH! I am soooo Happy to have discovered your channel (as I was searching for Dr. McDougal recipe videos) 😊👏🏾
This was such a good video!! Do you have some tipps how to cut out oil when eating a salad? Do you have some recipes for salad dressings? Best, Diana
I got this idea from forks over knives and I love it! Mashed avocado with a splash of lime juice. Then you fold the greens in. It doesn't pour like most salad dressings of course, so feels very different when making the salad. But once it's mixed in, it coats the salad leaves and adds moisture and flavor which is what ya need in a salad dressing. And it's delicious! I'm guessing because of the fat from the avocado it still feels like a typical salad dressing.
I've made a really nice dressing using silken tofu, lemon juice, a bit of dijon mustard, and your herb of choice. Blend it up in the Nutribullet, and you have have a pourable dressing (add a bit of water or more lemon juice), or leave it thicker to use as dip or mayonnaise replacement in something like a potato salad. It's really delicious and has the same texture as a cream based dressing without the calories!
I’m so glad you’re back in the food information and meal suggestions again. You have helped me so much!
Yes! Please make the oil-free cooking hack video :)
Great video! I’ve learned so much from you the past year and a half. I eat this way now and it’s awesome, going oil free is a game changer, I absolutely love it. I feel so much better and when I do eat food with oil now, I don’t even like it! Thanks again, I love watching your journey. Love your outfit too! 😊
Great video! However, don't forget about the fact that the right type of oil and nuts are really healthy for you in moderate amounts. Also, rice is very bad for the environment as it needs a lot of water while growing. Do not forget that there are many other factors that play a great role while choosing food than calories.
Water used in crop growing finds its way back into other uses eventually. It isn't destroyed. There is a natural water cycle. That water in rain clouds doesn't come from nowhere....
Hi, i’m new to your channel & the whole whole food plant based diet. Despite having been able to renounce fried food & eggs, i managed to cut them down significantly. I’m not trying to lose weight but trying to gain weight after my evil doctors put me through 6 months of hell of cancer treatments. I must say it had not been easy journey but trying out this whole food plant based thing for 10 days now, i no longer feeling hungry or stuffed despite not having a tongue anymore. I can still enjoy my favorite korean & japanese meals minus the animal products in them. I’m actually gaining muscle in the past 10 days that i can notice. I will share this w/ my cousin who’s trying to lose weight
Please do the oil free cooking hacks. I always want to grease the pan when I’m baking fries. I’ve tried lining the pan, but it always sticks when I don’t use oil. 😔
Yes!! Please do the video on alternatives to cooking with oil.
I totally agree.. alcohol is toxic!! I never drink it!
YES to an oil free hacks video! And this one was EXACTLY what I needed today. Thanks, Hannah!
Please do! Our vegan household is oil free, but my husband still whips out the "emergency" coconut oil spray for weekend pancakes bc they sometimes stick on our non-stick pan! Ugh, I should just toss the damn thing lol. Anyway, love you and yes please make an oil-free hack video!
Thank you so much for that video 🙏🏿🌹
Please do the oil free cooking hacks video!
I'm so glad u made another one of these videos !!!!! You defiantly are helping me on my weight loss journey
Cool video! but did you compare cooked rice with uncooked pasta? 🤔
indeed, uncooked rice and uncooked pasta have the the same calorie content, even if pasta is more processed
Hi Hannah! Love the video! Another good point to add, is that when drinking any liquid while eating, the body still has to digest the liquid first before the solids! Therefore, it is best to avoid drinking while eating for best digestion of foods!
Oil free cooking hacks!! I use for cooking all the time! Omg!
Yes please! Would love an oil free cooking video!!
Oil free cooking hacks! Yes please!
I’ve been binge watching your videos! Omg thank you so much for sharing this with us! You literally blew my mind! ❤️
Yes on the cooking oil hacks video✨🙏🏽❤️👌🏽👋🏽
Giving us the visual of these things, even if we might already know them in theory, is sooo helpful! Thank you!
Hi H, please do the oil free cooking hacks video. Many thanks x
The example of a meal is a huge help. I never learned to cook from home and so I'm starting from scratch now that I'm trying to lose weight. But I can cook rice and rinse canned beans and cut veggies. So that was a really good meal example that I will try. The comparisons are eye-opening
i think this video is abit obsessed on calories not nutrients which it should be based on, especially triggering for those with eating problems. you have to enjoy yourself, its not all about more calories, eat dates and nuts just in control they arent going to make you fat !
Yes, exactly. And cooking with oil isn't that bad either. You just have to have an eye on the amount. Good oils are essential for health!
Not to be rude, but the entire point of the video is not to show "healthier" alternatives, it is to show more calorie efficient foods for those who track calories, so you're kinda missing the point.
@@Joxim00 bingo lol
I recently started cooking with oil after 2 years of oil-free cooking. It really makes me feel more full! When I was doing oil free cooking I was snacking all the time because I was never really satisfied. This stopped when I introduced oil to my diet.
Dates are fresh, not dried fruits.
most are dehydrated to a point to preserve them for stores. Fresh dates are wet, ive had them before they are SOOOO good omg
LOL,😂, fresh or dry dates , it’s better then McDonald’s food or any dead meet , her video was blessing for many people who want to b health.
Either way they are calorie dense lol
I grew up with date palms, they don’t grow dried and brown🙃. Just saying those are dried
Love this! I have been working on my calorie density swaps the last couple of months, and my satiety has increased significantly and my weight has dropped. Great video, Hannah!
Oil free cooking hacks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 yeasssss pleasssss
I do appreciate the comparisons, thank you! I also appreciate your commenting that sometimes dense foods is actually worth it for feeling satisfied. I also like that some calorie dense foods add a variety of nutrition and healing properties to the body when eaten. Again, thank you for sharing. I always learn great tips when watching your videos. :)
Michelle Willadsen Exactly. I mean, an avocado or handful of nuts are calorie-dense, but I doubt anyone could dispute their health benefits if you’re not actively looking to lose weight.
How would you replace the oil needed in baking things like bread or cake in the recipe
easy you can use water, any plant milk, applesauce or banana in the same quantities
High Carb Hannah but is it still as good ?
Applesauce works great! In order to make it taste as good I only replace half of the oil or butter needed with applesauce
thank you i’ve been needing this because i’ve been cutting down on food so much because i wanna lose weight but i end up just being so hungry
I feel like hanna must have so much patience to be recording such slow weight loss... Plus the mental trust to eat so much and not think you’re gonna gain weight
