I only discovered (and Liked) your channel about a week ago, but now I LOVE you guys!!!! Listen to what this young guy says! I changed to eating whole food plant based/no oil 3.5 years ago at the age of 67. Dropped my cholesterol from 268 to 132, reversed my "pre-diabetes"; blood pressure dropped from 140/90 ON MEDICATION to 110/70 OFF medication...and I lost 85 lbs!!! This stuff works!!!!
Hi Judi, I concur with everything you are saying and am doing everything you are doing and am 66 years old and feel like a teenager! Long and healthy life to both of us!
It is the no oils in your diet that gave the results. You could have been eating steak and eggs and cheese, no oils, no sugar/ starch. Seed oils are so highly toxic that any diet that eliminates them gives great results. For me, I’ll stick to my steak!
Morpheah hey... I don't know what you're going through or what you were going through during the time you wrote this comment, but it's incredibly rude and uncalled for. Please, be respectful in your comments and in your interactions with others. It goes a long way. Best wishes, stay safe during these difficult times.
I love this channel. You guys are funny, FUN, and informative. And in this video you show such respectful interest in your guest - taking notes, repeating back information, and admitting that you may want to rethink your own eating. I just loved the visuals - so incredibly powerful. Thank you!!
I agree with you. Bob and Brad are funny but very helpful. They are my new go to binge You tube watch while recovering from a sprained ankle! Information dense sprinkled with some good humour.
I have tried just about every diet out there, eating real food cooked or prepared as close to it's natural form seems to be the best way to go. Thanks for the video.
A year ago I started a whole food plant based diet like Greg is talking about. I am down 40 pounds. My arthritis is gone. My cholesterol level is great. I sleep better. I have more energy. These are just a few of the pluses with a whole food plant based diet.
I've been vegan for 4 years now, and objectively, I dropped from 88kg to 60kg in the first year (Inseam dropped from 38" to 31"), felt way lighter on my joints, more energetic, needed less sleep. I feel great. Just some considerations: Be sure you're getting B12 (in most fortified food / plant based milk, or supplement), DHA / EPA (Omega-3), Iron (if needed, always take with vitamin C that increases absorption two fold), do your blood work couple times a year, and you're set. And I'd be missing something if I didn't say that eating a meal where animals didn't pay a price, just adds to the flavor of the food. I love Bob & Brad, so humble 💜
These two are the best since Car Guys on NPR. The exception obviously being they focus on health vs. cars. But, the correlation is, both segments are highly informative and presented in an entertaining way. Thank you!
What a great segment. Seeing the different foods lined up next to each other is so helpful. And the comments about good carbohydrates versus empty ones...Love your videos. Thank you!
Keep up the good work. This is my life style and I'm 80 and healthy. Thanks for posting Dr. Esselstyne's and Dr. McDougall's web site among others. You will save a lot of lives.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. I noticed I was gaining weight. I was looking at what was different in my diet and I was eating more cheese. I had arguments with multiple people about it. They said that it was impossible for cheese to cause me to gain weight. When I took cheese out of my diet the weight gain stopped. And this video supports my theory. I also am so grateful that he had a visual to show us. He explained calories in such a way that it makes it easier to understand. Doctors say you have to eat better, or change your diet but they don't explain what to change or what's better.
I agree about cheese, its hard for me to leave it alone, but grabbing it for a fast snack put weight on me lately. I will try to stay away from it after this good video.
I have followed an almost identical diet to what Craig has mentioned (maybe a little more fat than he allows for) & I can truely stand by his advice, It helped me get rid of eczema almost immediately! Whole foods plant based all the way.
Tried it for a few years. Correctly, medically supervised. Developed diabetes. Developed chronic pain. Developed severe depression. Switched to a whole food ketogenic diet. Lost 175 pounds, normal blood sugar, depression gone, pain gone, feel fantastic! Asthma (present before trying either diet) gone, diabetes in control with zero meds, cholesterol better than ever. Best part, depression resolved without med! It's been 17 years of excellent health.
See Dr Esselstyn's presentation on oil. A little olive oil may be less damaging than animal fat but if you have health issues, try to skip it. It's very high in omega 6 and inflammatory.
Amazing advice! My wife went plant based and she eats many potatoes or complex carbs and she's losing weight without killing herself in the gym. She only walks about 30 min daily but changing to a plant based diet has been the major cause of her weight loss. A change in diet will beat jogging to lose weight, any day! It's all about what you eat.
What Greg should have mentioned, when you eat a sweet potato, you need to have a little fat with it because the beta carotene ( Vitamin A ) in the sweet potato is fat soluble - without fat your body won't be able to make use of the vitamin A.
Tou can take fat with your meal by a natural sources like olives and nuts and seeds this is more healthy and has fibers So olives and specially animals fat are not healthy cause animal store toxins at there fat tissue
Great stuff! I have been whole food plant based for over 6 years and I am doing so much better. No more IBS or acid reflux!! Lost 21 lbs too. I hope to lose another 10 lbs to get within my ideal weight for my age! I try to recommend this to people without being to pushy because it is challenging at first but so worth it!! Thanks Bob and Brad for being open to new ideas on better health.
Decades ago a friends doc suggested for hypoglycemia, she eat about 6 almonds to hold her over - a protein boost, and if you chew slowly, that helps satiate as well! I soak a handful almonds overnight, which helps digestion, and activates enzymes
Gave up dairy about a month ago mostly because I finally put 2 and 2 together and realized I'm lactose intolerant. My stomach was constantly turning, gurgling, gassy, bloated, I had daily headaches, tired, joint stiffness, constant nasal drainage which also lead to sore throats, plugged up nose when sleeping which lead to a crappy nights sleep. Cut dairy out and most of those symptoms went away within days others took a bit longer. Getting rid of dairy has been pretty much life changing for me. I use to make fun of people saying how bad dairy was and how humans should not consume it but now I truly believe it.
Seems he's obsessed with calories and not just in healthy eating. I didn't give up olive oil, and still losing weight. If you mix that salad bowl with olive oil you'll get 1000 calories, and considering that you won't be able to finish it during the day means you will get only 1000 calories per day.
Its not so much that you should cut it out rather find options to put in your diet to create volume to your diet. Those of us with binge issues could ear something healthy but eat so much of it that it would lead to obesity. Add a massive salad with low calories as a side to your pizza you get the fullness without having to eat a whole pizza which allows you to meet caloric goals and lead to healthy weight-loss without deprivation and hunger pains
Also this presentation is specifically a demonstration about calorie density not saying to cut everything out its just meant to show how choices matter and can add up
That and the fact that potatoes and pasta are considered an option. Any potato other than a lightly cooked sweet potato is AWFUL for you. Pasta in general, while delicious, is almost as bad. Massive insulin spike from either food.
I just started a whole foods plant based lifestyle 10 days ago. I sometimes consume plant oils, mostly in small amounts of nuts or seeds; on rare occasion, i use a scant amount of walnut oil or olive oil for flavor. I intend to eat avocados.I eat salad with a flavored vinegar herb dressing. I enjoy plenty of veggies, some fruit, whole grains, and legumes, all of which I love, and I don't feel hungry or crave foods. (I used to be a cheese and dairy fan.) I feel full fast and eat 4 or sometimes 5 times a day. I feel energetic and content. I have lost 4 lb so far. My BMI is 25.0, and I would like to get to BMI around 23.0 within 6 months. In summary, I incorporate fats in my diet, but all are from plant sources and I use them in small quantities.
I love you guys. Great info. Thank you. I have been following your knee videos for a few weeks. I have a torn knee meniscus and, I decided not to have surgery. Your videos have helped me recover my knee strength and movement. I love your sense of humor and your demonstrations. Now looking at this video because I have to lose weight. You guys rock! I’m telling everyone about your videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh boy. Lots of "experts" in the comments. I don't believe he ever said to cut out fat completely. He's giving options to reduce fat in the diet which can be very useful for A LOT of people. This was a small, helpful segment about calories and what 500 calories roughly looks like in every food group. This wasn't a complete nutrition program, but a helpful tip. Relax.
He absolutely advocates very reduced fat. Fat free jar spaghetti sauce!!! I think what we all have to remember is:. What is healthy for each us. I can't eat spaghetti or bread, both caused inflammation. Our brains require fat and healthy carbs/body sugars to function. I think his focus is on calorie density for the purpose of this video. I didn't see him as an expert, rather someone who is sharing what works for him.!
I lost 23 pounds and lost my belly. This diet I followed works with numerous speed along with the fat loss becomes manifest pretty quickly and right. The dietary plan is in this website here *TOP2DIET . COM*
Betsy s Indeed!!! I am so glad I recommend these guys PT advice in my lifestyle guiding practice!! These guys got it right with the diet advice here!! Plantbased for the win!! #carbsareking #oilfree #WFPB #wholeolives #oilisnotflavor it just releases more happy chemicals in your brain because your receiving caloric density with in the oil but no fiber added it takes up valuable space u need to fill with clean carbs and starches for energy and veggies for nutrition and fiber too etc!!
Yes..but for 1, Oatmeal Raises Insuline levels, And not everyone one has the digestive enzymes to digest raw veggies..Salad maybe...There are Good fats in grass feed butter and Pure Olive oil.. You need fats to get you to the next meal without being hungry .
In response to the current interviewee, I recently learned from a friend that she is allergic to the A1 version of the protein in Milk, but not to the A2 haplotype. An allergy to milk products may result from a reaction to the individual type of protein in the milk.
Lots of comments below about how much wasn't discussed, like the benefits of consuming good fats, and how fats also help you feel sated long after eating, etc.... but what I think the point of this discussion is that loosing weight is really about being aware of the calorie content of foods regardless of the quality of that calorie. Weight loss is burning more calories than you consume. This was just about understanding what 500 calories really looks like using common foods, how easy it is to consume a lot of calories in a short period of time (I see you nuts), and for this nutritionist, what worked for him in terms of his health and weight loss journey.
Did you get your issues checked out? If not, you shouldn't be posting that. The issues probably had nothing to do with removing animal products.(I assume you supplemented at least D? Most of the time, vegans have problems because they eat the same volume as before. That adds up to eating too little calories.
@@sugarapple5465 Right... there you go. Consider the fact that omni dieters get b12 deficiency, and that shows it wasn't about you being vegan. Then I can go further and get into how B12 comes from gut bacteria and why people still get the deficiency.
CarboRaider High-Carb Rush It’s found in meats, if they have no absorptive issues and are eating adequately, they won’t be deficient. I was fine before. Not a coincidence. Don’t underestimate what i went through because u hv no clue.
@@sugarapple5465 "if they have no absorptive issues" Exactly. They did. And again Bacteria. You just seem like another hard-headed human that I've had too much experience in. Oh, and do you know that farm animals are given b12 supplements? I'm guessing also NO.
this was an informative video. I really enjoyed its balanced sensible discussion. I have done all sorts of eating regimes, but what it has come down to for me is I still eat too much. Actually looking at calorie density and portion size has made it plain to me what I am doing wrong. Calorie dense foods are yummy, but so easy to overdose on. I always remember the old adage that the difference between a helpful medicine and a poison is the size of the dose. I eat really healthily, cook everything fresh ever day but I eat too much. I will attempt to remedy this. Thank men for making it easy to visualise.
You wouldn't use that amount of oil on a salad. If you mixed a bit of oil with some balsamic vinegar that would be sufficient and you would get some fats in your diet!
I agree with you, I mix balsamic and olive oil for my salads too. I don’t agree with a lot of what he has said here. It may have worked for him and that’s great, but would not work for me. I think extremes are unrealistic, once off a “diet” people often go back to the other spectrum and put on more weight than they lost. I don’t believe in diets, I believe in meal plans, moderation, the combination and amount of foods are the keys. Of course exercise in combination with the right foods can only lead to weight loss and balance. It’s really different and personal for everyone. I’m sorry, giving up cheese? That’s ridiculous, small portions on occasion is the way to enjoy good variety of hand crafted cheeses, and I do.
@@veronicaspage So True. Extremes are not good. Being vegetarian is not for everybody. Variety, moderation and not seeing certain foods as forbidden are the key to good nutrition and weightloss. Counting calories and deprivation never works in the long run.
I've been counting calories since I was a teenager, and it has always worked for weight loss and maintenance for me. It's the most balanced form of eating, because I never had to cut out any foods. Willpower is easier with this regime because I wasn't depriving myself, just watching amounts. I quickly memorized calories of repeat foods, so don't let math scare you. Therefore, I was consistent and focused for long periods of time. Add in some moderate exercise to get that blood flowing, and you're golden!
When trying to lose weight and/or be healthy you have 3 choices for diet:1.) Low carb/moderate protein/high fat. 2.) High carb/ low protein/low fat. 3.)eat whatever you want but keep calories under 2,000. All diets will work. But 1&2 may be the healthier options? Everyone please be safe💓
As a size comparison of calories, this was a good demonstration but I agree with the other commenters that this nutritionist didn't mention how food is processed differently by your body thus some foods keep you satiated longer.
I lost 140 lbs, I bought a dance workout video, cut what I ate by half, and between the two totally doable! If I wanted something "fattening" I ate some, but not as much...... increase activity, cut fats and calories.... bang! it falls off.......
Becky Shock this is also about immediate and long term health. Losing weight is just one aspect. Keeping it off, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar ... the body working most efficiently.
I eat a plant plant based diet and I just love it ! It even helped with a minor knee injury because of my diet ! BTW use unsweetned cashew yogurt to moisten food with a " dash " of pure olive oil . I have GERD I can't have acid of any kind. I eat interminently chic pea pasta or brown rice ( very seldom) .
Bob and Brad. Love you 2. There needs to be some experts from the other side of what this man is presenting. There is new and old evidence that contradicts what he is saying. He may look young but he does not look like a vital, healthy person to me. We need more variety and balance in our diet than he is presenting.
Thank you lads. That was very interesting. I learned a few things there. Some good habits I let slip, I'm going to try to bring back. I appreciate that. Amazing how the right food can make you not only healthier, (, the important bit of course);but how well you can look on it too.
Why is it that when it comes to diet we go from one extreme to another? Can we have a balanced diet with plants and meat with a combination of small portions of carbs and exercise regularly?
I mean thats what I learned from my nutrition class, other than special diets when comorbidities (like diabetes or cardiovascular disease) come into play 😅
I am trying to lose fat at a fruit / vege stage at the moment and only giving it a go.. i cant wait to build muscle because its my favorite part. i wonder about that steak so yum.. maybe il be more energetic in learning how to cook..
Look at nutritionfacts.org for more info on plant based whole food diet. Diabetes for example is scientifically proven to be curable with diet, and the research shows it. A good number of the top killers in the USA are due to diet.
I think the only thing this video is missing is about the macro nutrient of protein, which also can keep you full for longer. Many people don't even consume enough protein!
Fats are necessary but ideally you shouldn't be eating extracted processed fats (even the so called "healthy" fats I.e. Coconut oil, flaxseed oil, avacado oil). The fats you consume should be in the foods you eat themselves. John Rose, Dr. Colin Campbell, and Dan McDonald emphasize that. And this health expert is correct in his assertion. Just because a fat is extracted from a high quality food doesn't make it a high quality fat in its packaged processed form. You have to consider the means by which the fat was extracted, the amount of time that extracted fat has been sitting on the shelf, the concentration of the extracted fat vs eating that fat in the form of the fruit that it came from itself, and whether or not its rancid. Why is it that actual avacadod expire faster than avacado oil. It doesn't take an expert to realize that that extracted fat is either heavily processed or its rancid despite whatever marketing is used to make it appealing to healthful minded ppl. The best diet to eat is a raw Whole Foods plant based diet in which nothing is extracted but rather consumed in the form of the actual food itself. If you want avacado oil, EAT an ACTUAL avacado. If you want coconut oil EAT an ACTUAL coconut. If you want flax oil EAT actual flaxseeds. Extracting fat from the foods you eat not only puts you in s position to eat highly concentrated rancid oils, but you also don't get the fiber and other balancing properties of the food that the fat is extracted from like the fiber, anti inflammatory nutrients, and the hepato-enhancing nutrients that the food as to offer besides just the fat. If you want fat EAT the actual food that the fat comes from in its most organic raw form. Don't extract it!
PharaohMahk thank you... all these people just made an assumption he said never eat fat... he just showed you the density, you can have a little here and there and have a well rounded diet. most people are using gallons of butter, coconut oil and olive oil then saying I'm getting my healthy fats... no you're excessive in calories JUST AS HE POINTS OUT. he never said completely eliminate, all you have to do is be mindful... a teaspoon here and there is probably enough. as this intelligent guy says: it's extracted and unhealthy the way it's processed so you can tell yourself whatever you want to feel good but your pipes look like those greasy cheese pipes the more you pile it on. you're not a metal car engine, you don't need to coat everything in oil! LOL
I take your point, but we still need oil in our diets, our bodies need fats and if you are following a vegetarian/vegan or plant based diet then you are not getting a lot of fats naturally as you would from meat and fish. For instance, seeds such as flax, if you eat a lot of seeds in their whole form you don't extract the oil, they are better eaten ground, if you want your body to absorb them, otherwise they are unlikely to be broken down by the body.
I know this does contain animal fat/protein but 1 sweet potato with a dollup of low-fat Greek yogurt is delish! Yoghurt works great with gravies & as a dressing on salads, whether sweet or spicy. Dump garlic & herbs in yogurt the eve before & have excellent dressing for potatoes & salads. Sweetened yogurt with lemon makes a very refreshing dressing for romaine lettuce, or just use as dip for celery.
I’m a personal trainer. Why didn’t he mention the huge difference in the types of carbs the Eminem‘s are from the lettuce. They are not the same types of carbs. There are healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs. The types of healthy carbs after consumed go to fuel whatever the specific food has in it. Where as the Eminem carbs are make up of nothing nutritional so they body can’t use it to fuel anything resulting in going straight to fat. You can have the same amount of that lettuce in calories as the Eminem’s. Even if you get sugar free Eminem’s (if they exist) you will never gain weight from having even a 5,000 calorie salad-only diet. Because the carbs in the lettuce is so nutritional all’s you would have to do is go for a run for the carbs to be used elsewhere and not turn to fat. I feel like this guy is a tiny bit uneducated on that OR he simply forgot to mention the very important fact that there are healthy carbs and junk carbs that can’t be turned into or used for anything but fat
The 500 calories of lettuce would be almost completely nutritionally useless UNTIL you added the 500 calories of olive oil, which would be infinitely healthier for you to consume in the first place.
Besides his take on cheese, all other things appear half-baked. Food is not about just calories and losing weight. It has much more to offer, sadly there is no mention of the mental health that this weightless diet creates. Plus the amount of stress our body goes under when kept under such a rigorous diet. Our body is not just about the aesthetics or looks or shape, there is a mind in their too that needs health, calm and happiness. I do not find much substance in what he has to say regardless of how much "younger" he claims to look. As to me, he looks weak and frail not just physically but also mentally.
@@laurynwilliams8913 You can still get protein from plants. Seems odd that a nutritionist doesn't talk about protein, which is a very important nutrient, especially when you're trying to control your weight.
I know two people who lived well into their 90s and they said they drank 2 glasses of milk daily. The only way I can get sleep is to drink milk before bedtime, but it is organic and lactose free and low-fat. Milk can be considered food instead of just a drink so sometimes I have a big warm glass of it with honey for dinner.
This was awesome! Thank you so much gentlemen :) I shall be sharing this video with all my loved ones, especially those who love cheese ;) I cut out dairy on July 1st of this year and have seen changes in my health already. Cheers from Canada
Good for you Bob and Brad! Thank you for this valuable and informative video. I'm a new subscriber. I have too laugh when people respond to a person describing what calorie density means as being "fat-phobic". I think some people tend to panic whenever they hear someone supporting a whole food plant based diet because for many decades we've all been over saturated with aggressive media advertising touting alleged health benefits of meat and dairy with lots of oil, oil, oil, and the Dept of Agriculture's biased dietary recommendations, so its no wonder that we cant even entertain the idea of consuming anything else. Its good to see this video, as it reflects the current fact that our government has recently been rethinking their history of dietary recommendations and The World Health Organization's recent warning about consuming processed meats is being taken seriously. We need to stop being afraid of change and new ideas. For a country that is so wealthy and powerful, isn't it rather ironic that the US ranks among the top three countries with the highest rate of Cardio Vascular Disease, Diabetes, Stroke, Cancer, Osteoporosis, etc, compared to other countries where these diseases are rare or non-existent but their diet is predominantly unprocessed and plant based. Countless studies over past decades have repeatedly proven this. Check out NutritionFacts.org or read the China Study or Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease. Like other commentators, I too, have switched away from the Standard American Diet due to decades of obesity related health problems and have been consuming a whole foods plant based diet for the past 2 years now. I will be turning 60 in less than 3 months. I too, feel like a teenager since going plant based! No regrets at all, never going back.
@@sweetguy19762 I th8nk they might have meant that some people think "calories in, calories out" is all it takes to lose weight. For some people, it's where those calories come from that matters, simpky reducing calories isn't enough
#1 Eat less, move more (I live in France, portions are significantly smaller than in the USA or the UK.). #2 Eat a lot more greens and veg/salad. Simply, eating less, if you eat more plant food (all plant food - don't avoid carbs or potatoes) you end up eating fuel for the body and it is very hard to pick up weight eating natural non-processed food.
Is the idea to be skinny or healthy? I believe a person's aim should be living a healthful life. I have multiple aunts who lived into their 80s and 90s, and they ate meat. The difference, however, is that they prepared their own food and ate from primarily farm-fresh ingredients. There is very little nutrition in that particular lettuce he has on the table. Also, the fruits he's chosen are relatively expensive, especially when they are not seasonal. This video concerns me a little, although I will admit that I see the bigger point he's trying to make. Less junk, more nutritious food choices.
@@roxik1073 I hear what he's saying, but for me, I like food that tastes good, and fat carries flavor in food. I focus on "good" fats (which the brain needs), and eating small portions. Otherwise, meal times would be sad and boring to me, so I guess I'd lose lots of weight and be depressed.
Bob and Brad! Adore you guys and your positivity!! What awesome info you put out there!!! Hope everyone is safe and well! Please please tell us how we can find Craig as well and his nutrition info!!???? Anyone know!!!?
I've always liked your videos before and found them very helpful, but I rarely watch videos on diet from a doctor's channel because they usually end up frustrating me! But I was curious... so I watched it. I was thrilled to hear the words whole food plant based! Now I love your channel even more because you heal the entire body, inside and out! Thank you for your channel 😀
Debra Phoenix Wampole it is probably whole wheat spaghetti and the bread of made from any of the whole foods and not refined, is allowed. When I changed to wfpb I started making my own breads with different flowers it’s so easy. There are lots of plant based spaghettis too. As wfpb is becoming more popular, obviously the food industry is adapting their products to keep the money rolling in! Just look at the ranges of plant based milks now as one example, so easy to make at home but we still prefer to buy it for convenience. Well I do as I’ve gotten lazy lol.
I started following a WFPB no oil about two years ago due to having researched nutrition as I had some chronic illnesses and was referred to cardiologist. My cholesterol was thru the roof plus other bloods out of normal ranges and I had for years been a runner and thought I’d been eating healthy. After only six months of wfpb my cholesterol, and other bloods normalised. I feel so much better, I have always been a decent cook but now I make so many more dishes using options and mixing foods I’d never have thought would go before! I feel great, people have commented many times on my skin and ask what creams I use. I don’t feel anything from my arthritis or my other chronic illnesses. So yes if you want to continue eating meat, dairy, oil fine but look up what it does to your body and perhaps cut it down if you can’t or don’t wish to cut it out completely, you will notice a difference in your health. Oh and I eat far more now than I ever did due to the calorie density, as per this video. Thanks Brad and Bob for the informative videos as well as the physio which has been so helpful with an unfortunate injury I had this year.
Good video! I want to add, I use 1 to 2 Tablespoons of nuts, plus vinegar and garlic onion , etc. to blend for a dressing. Usually it makes enough for 2 or 3 salads. And, all those veggies are loaded with nutrition, where as the meats in our diet have very little nutrition. Potatoes have lots of nutrition too. Fat is the culprit that give potatoes a bad rap! Love your easy exercises and workouts.
Exercise needs to be added to the calorie calculations as well. Nuts? I handful a day is healthy brain food! Pasta is not. I have switched to black bean pasta. Delish!
My diet is plant based too. The animals I eat, eat plants and I eat them. Lettuce is loaded with water that’s why it’s low in calories. I lost 50 lbs eating meat, dairy, veggies whatever just not eating sugar and grains and simple carbs.
Whole food plant based diets are amazing!So much more energy, lower cholesterol, lower bloodplessure, skin clears up, constipation dissappears, sleep is better, you name it.. People who watch this and are inspired to try it: DO IT! You will never regret it!! And dont forget you save all those cute little animals and use way less resources! And you even linked Michael Greger, McDougall and Caldwell, so exited to see that! They tell the truth, no question.
Taking on a topic that is not in your area of expertise can damage your credibility. That did not happen here because 1. you brought in an expert, and 2. you approached the interview with appropriate humility. Kudos.
I started putting just warm water and some spices on my potato. It tastes great. Now I wonder why I ever put anything like butter or sour cream on my potato...or even yogurt..., it's not needed. Tastes just as great without them...
Amp yogurt is not healthy. Animal proteins are the causes of most of our most deadly diseases. If you eat well there is no need for additional probiotics. www.pcrm.org/news/health-nutrition/yogurt-does-not-improve-health

Great show on good diet; however, it is also important to also talk about the role of various nutrients, and understand the role of balance in the diet. For instance fat is essential for proper brain function. Omega 3, found in olive oil and other health fats, the richest source being fish oils, are building blocks of the brain. Also medium chain fatty acids, have been found to assist in brain function and improve the condition of people suffering with dementia / Alzheimers, just as one example. That aside, I love your show, I am in my 70’s, and have made good use of information on exercises to relieve back and shoulder pain, and maintain good mobility generally; plus you are down to earth, light-hearted and friendly, and that makes life better.
A balanced and informed perspective on the components of nutrition would mention protein. Protein is (like fat, though not as much) also more calorically dense than carbs or fiber (or water), and yet (also like fat), some of it is essential to our diets. Don't get me wrong, I agree that caloric density considerations can help with weight loss, but I can also tell you from experience that if you ONLY focus on caloric density, it is very easy to fail to get enough protein, and end up losing the other thing that helps you lose weight, which is muscle volume. I do also agree that carbs are not the villain, but in truth, there is no villain; there is only our tendency to overeat those food items to which we are most attracted, and that is usually some mixture of both fat and sugar.
I love how these folks are not pretentious.
Refreshing, isn't it?
Oh yeah

i was a 30 year asthmatic and also cut (most) dairy from my diet and found a substantial reduction in my symptoms. spot on.
I only discovered (and Liked) your channel about a week ago, but now I LOVE you guys!!!! Listen to what this young guy says! I changed to eating whole food plant based/no oil 3.5 years ago at the age of 67. Dropped my cholesterol from 268 to 132, reversed my "pre-diabetes"; blood pressure dropped from 140/90 ON MEDICATION to 110/70 OFF medication...and I lost 85 lbs!!! This stuff works!!!!
Judi Bryan Hi Judi, I concur with everything you are saying and I'm 66 years old and feel like a teenager! Long and healthy life to both of us!
Hi Judi, I concur with everything you are saying and am doing everything you are doing and am 66 years old and feel like a teenager! Long and healthy life to both of us!
It is the no oils in your diet that gave the results. You could have been eating steak and eggs and cheese, no oils, no sugar/ starch. Seed oils are so highly toxic that any diet that eliminates them gives great results. For me, I’ll stick to my steak!
Morpheah hey... I don't know what you're going through or what you were going through during the time you wrote this comment, but it's incredibly rude and uncalled for. Please, be respectful in your comments and in your interactions with others. It goes a long way. Best wishes, stay safe during these difficult times.
Thank you, right back at you! It hasn't been that hard in Greece though, even the fucking curfew felt more like a bad joke than an actual measure :)
I love this channel. You guys are funny, FUN, and informative. And in this video you show such respectful interest in your guest - taking notes, repeating back information, and admitting that you may want to rethink your own eating. I just loved the visuals - so incredibly powerful. Thank you!!

I agree with you. Bob and Brad are funny but very helpful. They are my new go to binge You tube watch while recovering from a sprained ankle! Information dense sprinkled with some good humour.
God bless bob and brad!
I have tried just about every diet out there, eating real food cooked or prepared as close to it's natural form seems to be the best way to go. Thanks for the video.
The natural way of preparing vegetables is to feed them to a pig, cow or rabbit.
A year ago I started a whole food plant based diet like Greg is talking about. I am down 40 pounds. My arthritis is gone. My cholesterol level is great. I sleep better. I have more energy. These are just a few of the pluses with a whole food plant based diet.
@@kd5nrh you are bad! LMAO

So wrong
I've been vegan for 4 years now, and objectively, I dropped from 88kg to 60kg in the first year (Inseam dropped from 38" to 31"), felt way lighter on my joints, more energetic, needed less sleep. I feel great. Just some considerations: Be sure you're getting B12 (in most fortified food / plant based milk, or supplement), DHA / EPA (Omega-3), Iron (if needed, always take with vitamin C that increases absorption two fold), do your blood work couple times a year, and you're set. And I'd be missing something if I didn't say that eating a meal where animals didn't pay a price, just adds to the flavor of the food.
I love Bob & Brad, so humble 💜
These two are the best since Car Guys on NPR. The exception obviously being they focus on health vs. cars. But, the correlation is, both segments are highly informative and presented in an entertaining way. Thank you!
What a great segment. Seeing the different foods lined up next to each other is so helpful. And the comments about good carbohydrates versus empty ones...Love your videos. Thank you!
Keep up the good work. This is my life style and I'm 80 and healthy. Thanks for posting Dr. Esselstyne's and Dr. McDougall's web site among others. You will save a lot of lives.
small footprint, you are wonderful for posting your comment showing your support!
Do you also watch dr veith? What’s up prof? 51. I recommend it for all believers 🌿
I use salsa as a salad dressing!! Bonus flavor! There are so many salsas on the market that I can vary what I use!
Great tip!
wow-i’m going to try that
Hey, I thought I🤓 was the only one who did that.🥗
Yooo. Thanks man fr i never thought of doing that.
Cool
no one is gonna change my mind. still agoge for me, the best diet and has worked wonders already
Wow! Thank you for sharing. I noticed I was gaining weight. I was looking at what was different in my diet and I was eating more cheese. I had arguments with multiple people about it. They said that it was impossible for cheese to cause me to gain weight. When I took cheese out of my diet the weight gain stopped. And this video supports my theory.
I also am so grateful that he had a visual to show us. He explained calories in such a way that it makes it easier to understand. Doctors say you have to eat better, or change your diet but they don't explain what to change or what's better.
I agree about cheese, its hard for me to leave it alone, but grabbing it for a fast snack put weight on me lately. I will try to stay away from it after this good video.
I have followed an almost identical diet to what Craig has mentioned (maybe a little more fat than he allows for) & I can truely stand by his advice, It helped me get rid of eczema almost immediately! Whole foods plant based all the way.
I also use salsa as a salad dressing! There are so many varieties on the market now and they had a bonus of flavor!
I like half an avocado as a salad dressing. Mix with a little lemon juice.
Tried it for a few years. Correctly, medically supervised.
Developed diabetes.
Developed chronic pain.
Developed severe depression.
Switched to a whole food ketogenic diet. Lost 175 pounds, normal blood sugar, depression gone, pain gone, feel fantastic!
Asthma (present before trying either diet) gone, diabetes in control with zero meds, cholesterol better than ever. Best part, depression resolved without med! It's been 17 years of excellent health.
Everyone is different. Keto did not work for me.
My salad dressing is lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and pinch of Himalayan salt.
See Dr Esselstyn's presentation on oil.
A little olive oil may be less damaging than animal fat but if you have health issues, try to skip it.
It's very high in omega 6 and inflammatory.
You guys are awesome!!!! I have been plant based for more that 25 years. Also got rid of asthma and lost weight :)
Amazing advice! My wife went plant based and she eats many potatoes or complex carbs and she's losing weight without killing herself in the gym. She only walks about 30 min daily but changing to a plant based diet has been the major cause of her weight loss. A change in diet will beat jogging to lose weight, any day! It's all about what you eat.
What Greg should have mentioned, when you eat a sweet potato, you need to have a little fat with it because the beta carotene ( Vitamin A ) in the sweet potato is fat soluble - without fat your body won't be able to make use of the vitamin A.
Patriot Jefferson coconut oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil r all better than animal fat grass fed or not.
Thank you, I didn't know about it. I will from now on use a little bit of fat on my favorite sweet potato.
Tou can take fat with your meal by a natural sources like olives and nuts and seeds this is more healthy and has fibers
So olives and specially animals fat are not healthy cause animal store toxins at there fat tissue
My favorite way to have sweet potato is slice it about 2 inch thick add a bit of salt and coconut oil and roast til well done. So 😋 yummy.

B and B. You were very kind to this young man, asking questions to keep him talking. He sounded nervous.
Great stuff! I have been whole food plant based for over 6 years and I am doing so much better. No more IBS or acid reflux!! Lost 21 lbs too. I hope to lose another 10 lbs to get within my ideal weight for my age! I try to recommend this to people without being to pushy because it is challenging at first but so worth it!! Thanks Bob and Brad for being open to new ideas on better health.
Out of all the content on the internet this is my favorite😂you guys are wholesome and are well informed in your fields!
Thank you!
I think the reason why we get full when we eat nuts is the fat content that acts on our satiety center which makes us feel full.
Decades ago a friends doc suggested for hypoglycemia, she eat about 6 almonds to hold her over - a protein boost, and if you chew slowly, that helps satiate as well!
I soak a handful almonds overnight, which helps digestion, and activates enzymes
Ya'll are crazy. I could eat 1000cal of nuts before I feel satisfied.
Nuts are generally known to NOT make you feel full when you compare how many calories you are eating.
Gave up dairy about a month ago mostly because I finally put 2 and 2 together and realized I'm lactose intolerant. My stomach was constantly turning, gurgling, gassy, bloated, I had daily headaches, tired, joint stiffness, constant nasal drainage which also lead to sore throats, plugged up nose when sleeping which lead to a crappy nights sleep. Cut dairy out and most of those symptoms went away within days others took a bit longer. Getting rid of dairy has been pretty much life changing for me. I use to make fun of people saying how bad dairy was and how humans should not consume it but now I truly believe it.
Seems he's obsessed with calories and not just in healthy eating. I didn't give up olive oil, and still losing weight. If you mix that salad bowl with olive oil you'll get 1000 calories, and considering that you won't be able to finish it during the day means you will get only 1000 calories per day.
Exactly. For this diet to work I would need a 3 hour lunch break
Its not so much that you should cut it out rather find options to put in your diet to create volume to your diet. Those of us with binge issues could ear something healthy but eat so much of it that it would lead to obesity. Add a massive salad with low calories as a side to your pizza you get the fullness without having to eat a whole pizza which allows you to meet caloric goals and lead to healthy weight-loss without deprivation and hunger pains
Also this presentation is specifically a demonstration about calorie density not saying to cut everything out its just meant to show how choices matter and can add up
Also not saying to eat that whole bowl of salad and that whole cup of olive oil in one sitting cuz who do that
That and the fact that potatoes and pasta are considered an option. Any potato other than a lightly cooked sweet potato is AWFUL for you. Pasta in general, while delicious, is almost as bad. Massive insulin spike from either food.
Get a partner that looks at you like Bob looks at those candy-coated chocolate peanuts! lol

I just started a whole foods plant based lifestyle 10 days ago. I sometimes consume plant oils, mostly in small amounts of nuts or seeds; on rare occasion, i use a scant amount of walnut oil or olive oil for flavor. I intend to eat avocados.I eat salad with a flavored vinegar herb dressing. I enjoy plenty of veggies, some fruit, whole grains, and legumes, all of which I love, and I don't feel hungry or crave foods. (I used to be a cheese and dairy fan.) I feel full fast and eat 4 or sometimes 5 times a day. I feel energetic and content. I have lost 4 lb so far. My BMI is 25.0, and I would like to get to BMI around 23.0 within 6 months. In summary, I incorporate fats in my diet, but all are from plant sources and I use them in small quantities.
I love you guys. Great info. Thank you. I have been following your knee videos for a few weeks. I have a torn knee meniscus and, I decided not to have surgery. Your videos have helped me recover my knee strength and movement. I love your sense of humor and your demonstrations. Now looking at this video because I have to lose weight. You guys rock! I’m telling everyone about your videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh boy. Lots of "experts" in the comments. I don't believe he ever said to cut out fat completely. He's giving options to reduce fat in the diet which can be very useful for A LOT of people. This was a small, helpful segment about calories and what 500 calories roughly looks like in every food group. This wasn't a complete nutrition program, but a helpful tip. Relax.
Brenna Alexandera yes but he lost me when he said he eats spaghetti and whole wheat toast everyday. The visuals on density were good though
Just eat at Wendy's every day. None of the calories count if they don't slow down enough to stick anywhere on the way through.
@@kd5nrh exactly
He absolutely advocates very reduced fat. Fat free jar spaghetti sauce!!! I think what we all have to remember is:. What is healthy for each us. I can't eat spaghetti or bread, both caused inflammation. Our brains require fat and healthy carbs/body sugars to function. I think his focus is on calorie density for the purpose of this video. I didn't see him as an expert, rather someone who is sharing what works for him.!
@@kd5nrh
I bet you wobble through Wendy's 🤔
THE INTRO IS EVERYTHING!!!
Thanks!
Excellent! I'm a McDougall and Esselstyn fan! Craig is right on the money with his nutrition advice! A Whole food plant based diet is the way to go!
Betsy s my favorite is diet for a small planet. I'm also a big fan mcdougall's. I've never heard of esselstein
I lost 23 pounds and lost my belly. This diet I followed works with numerous speed along with the fat loss becomes manifest pretty quickly and right. The dietary plan is in this website here *TOP2DIET . COM*
Betsy s Indeed!!! I am so glad I recommend these guys PT advice in my lifestyle guiding practice!! These guys got it right with the diet advice here!! Plantbased for the win!! #carbsareking #oilfree #WFPB #wholeolives #oilisnotflavor it just releases more happy chemicals in your brain because your receiving caloric density with in the oil but no fiber added it takes up valuable space u need to fill with clean carbs and starches for energy and veggies for nutrition and fiber too etc!!
Both are vegan propagandists. If meat and fat were so awful, we would have died from extinction thousands of years ago.
@@drewfuerstenberger4675 completely agree! Balance is key for good nutrition!
Yes..but for 1, Oatmeal Raises Insuline levels, And not everyone one has the digestive enzymes to digest raw veggies..Salad maybe...There are Good fats in grass feed butter and Pure Olive oil.. You need fats to get you to the next meal without being hungry .
In response to the current interviewee, I recently learned from a friend that she is allergic to the A1 version of the protein in Milk, but not to the A2 haplotype. An allergy to milk products may result from a reaction to the individual type of protein in the milk.
Yes! The casein in milk makes me sick. I’m not lactose intolerant!
Lots of comments below about how much wasn't discussed, like the benefits of consuming good fats, and how fats also help you feel sated long after eating, etc.... but what I think the point of this discussion is that loosing weight is really about being aware of the calorie content of foods regardless of the quality of that calorie. Weight loss is burning more calories than you consume. This was just about understanding what 500 calories really looks like using common foods, how easy it is to consume a lot of calories in a short period of time (I see you nuts), and for this nutritionist, what worked for him in terms of his health and weight loss journey.
I used to be vegan, I was underweight and developed all sorts of issues. He looks underweight too. To me it’s about balance.
Did you get your issues checked out? If not, you shouldn't be posting that.
The issues probably had nothing to do with removing animal products.(I assume you supplemented at least D?
Most of the time, vegans have problems because they eat the same volume as before. That adds up to eating too little calories.
CarboRaider High-Carb Rush had everything to do with it. Started with b12 deficiency then everything else.
@@sugarapple5465 Right... there you go. Consider the fact that omni dieters get b12 deficiency, and that shows it wasn't about you being vegan.
Then I can go further and get into how B12 comes from gut bacteria and why people still get the deficiency.
CarboRaider High-Carb Rush It’s found in meats, if they have no absorptive issues and are eating adequately, they won’t be deficient. I was fine before. Not a coincidence. Don’t underestimate what i went through because u hv no clue.
@@sugarapple5465 "if they have no absorptive issues"
Exactly. They did.
And again Bacteria.
You just seem like another hard-headed human that I've had too much experience in.
Oh, and do you know that farm animals are given b12 supplements? I'm guessing also NO.
this was an informative video. I really enjoyed its balanced sensible discussion. I have done all sorts of eating regimes, but what it has come down to for me is I still eat too much. Actually looking at calorie density and portion size has made it plain to me what I am doing wrong. Calorie dense foods are yummy, but so easy to overdose on. I always remember the old adage that the difference between a helpful medicine and a poison is the size of the dose. I eat really healthily, cook everything fresh ever day but I eat too much. I will attempt to remedy this. Thank men for making it easy to visualise.
You wouldn't use that amount of oil on a salad. If you mixed a bit of oil with some balsamic vinegar that would be sufficient and you would get some fats in your diet!
That much oil would be about right for a five pound salad.
I agree with you, I mix balsamic and olive oil for my salads too. I don’t agree with a lot of what he has said here. It may have worked for him and that’s great, but would not work for me. I think extremes are unrealistic, once off a “diet” people often go back to the other spectrum and put on more weight than they lost. I don’t believe in diets, I believe in meal plans, moderation, the combination and amount of foods are the keys. Of course exercise in combination with the right foods can only lead to weight loss and balance. It’s really different and personal for everyone. I’m sorry, giving up cheese? That’s ridiculous, small portions on occasion is the way to enjoy good variety of hand crafted cheeses, and I do.
@@veronicaspage completely agree! I kept thinking of the French, Italian , Greeks and their Mediterranean Diet, as he was saying all that.
@@veronicaspage So True. Extremes are not good. Being vegetarian is not for everybody. Variety, moderation and not seeing certain foods as forbidden are the key to good nutrition and weightloss. Counting calories and deprivation never works in the long run.
I've been counting calories since I was a teenager, and it has always worked for weight loss and maintenance for me. It's the most balanced form of eating, because I never had to cut out any foods. Willpower is easier with this regime because I wasn't depriving myself, just watching amounts. I quickly memorized calories of repeat foods, so don't let math scare you. Therefore, I was consistent and focused for long periods of time. Add in some moderate exercise to get that blood flowing, and you're golden!
Very true indeed! Well done on your routine.
When trying to lose weight and/or be healthy you have 3 choices for diet:1.) Low carb/moderate protein/high fat.
2.) High carb/ low protein/low fat. 3.)eat whatever you want but keep calories under 2,000.
All diets will work. But 1&2 may be the healthier options?
Everyone please be safe💓
As a size comparison of calories, this was a good demonstration but I agree with the other commenters that this nutritionist didn't mention how food is processed differently by your body thus some foods keep you satiated longer.
I am 68 and have been plant based for 5 years now. I lost 29 lbs and felt great. I will never go back to eating meat and dairy. Never.
I lost 140 lbs, I bought a dance workout video, cut what I ate by half, and between the two totally doable! If I wanted something "fattening" I ate some, but not as much...... increase activity, cut fats and calories.... bang! it falls off.......

I have GERD I can't have acid of any kind. I eat interminently chic pea pasta or brown rice ( very seldom) .
Bob and Brad. Love you 2. There needs to be some experts from the other side of what this man is presenting. There is new and old evidence that contradicts what he is saying. He may look young but he does not look like a vital, healthy person to me. We need more variety and balance in our diet than he is presenting.
Agree. All fats are not bad. There is a lot of value in consuming lean protein and healthy fats.
Greetings gentlemen, thank you for your help, I needed to hear this.
Thank you lads. That was very interesting. I learned a few things there. Some good habits I let slip, I'm going to try to bring back. I appreciate that. Amazing how the right food can make you not only healthier, (, the important bit of course);but how well you can look on it too.
Why is it that when it comes to diet we go from one extreme to another? Can we have a balanced diet with plants and meat with a combination of small portions of carbs and exercise regularly?
I mean thats what I learned from my nutrition class, other than special diets when comorbidities (like diabetes or cardiovascular disease) come into play 😅

Look at nutritionfacts.org for more info on plant based whole food diet. Diabetes for example is scientifically proven to be curable with diet, and the research shows it. A good number of the top killers in the USA are due to diet.
I do everyday! Balance is key for me
I think the only thing this video is missing is about the macro nutrient of protein, which also can keep you full for longer. Many people don't even consume enough protein!

This is very informative! Love you guys!❤️
Fats are necessary but ideally you shouldn't be eating extracted processed fats (even the so called "healthy" fats I.e. Coconut oil, flaxseed oil, avacado oil). The fats you consume should be in the foods you eat themselves. John Rose, Dr. Colin Campbell, and Dan McDonald emphasize that. And this health expert is correct in his assertion. Just because a fat is extracted from a high quality food doesn't make it a high quality fat in its packaged processed form. You have to consider the means by which the fat was extracted, the amount of time that extracted fat has been sitting on the shelf, the concentration of the extracted fat vs eating that fat in the form of the fruit that it came from itself, and whether or not its rancid. Why is it that actual avacadod expire faster than avacado oil. It doesn't take an expert to realize that that extracted fat is either heavily processed or its rancid despite whatever marketing is used to make it appealing to healthful minded ppl. The best diet to eat is a raw Whole Foods plant based diet in which nothing is extracted but rather consumed in the form of the actual food itself. If you want avacado oil, EAT an ACTUAL avacado. If you want coconut oil EAT an ACTUAL coconut. If you want flax oil EAT actual flaxseeds. Extracting fat from the foods you eat not only puts you in s position to eat highly concentrated rancid oils, but you also don't get the fiber and other balancing properties of the food that the fat is extracted from like the fiber, anti inflammatory nutrients, and the hepato-enhancing nutrients that the food as to offer besides just the fat. If you want fat EAT the actual food that the fat comes from in its most organic raw form. Don't extract it!
PharaohMahk thank you... all these people just made an assumption he said never eat fat... he just showed you the density, you can have a little here and there and have a well rounded diet.
most people are using gallons of butter, coconut oil and olive oil then saying I'm getting my healthy fats...
no you're excessive in calories JUST AS HE POINTS OUT. he never said completely eliminate, all you have to do is be mindful... a teaspoon here and there is probably enough.
as this intelligent guy says: it's extracted and unhealthy the way it's processed so you can tell yourself whatever you want to feel good but your pipes look like those greasy cheese pipes the more you pile it on. you're not a metal car engine, you don't need to coat everything in oil! LOL
I love coconut oil, avocado oil and olive oil. I make sure I buy a healthy, cold-pressed, unrefined, virgin oil.
I was just thinking the same thing
True true. Tasted better to eat the actual food too
I take your point, but we still need oil in our diets, our bodies need fats and if you are following a vegetarian/vegan or plant based diet then you are not getting a lot of fats naturally as you would from meat and fish. For instance, seeds such as flax, if you eat a lot of seeds in their whole form you don't extract the oil, they are better eaten ground, if you want your body to absorb them, otherwise they are unlikely to be broken down by the body.
I know this does contain animal fat/protein but 1 sweet potato with a dollup of low-fat Greek yogurt is delish! Yoghurt works great with gravies & as a dressing on salads, whether sweet or spicy. Dump garlic & herbs in yogurt the eve before & have excellent dressing for potatoes & salads. Sweetened yogurt with lemon makes a very refreshing dressing for romaine lettuce, or just use as dip for celery.
I’m a personal trainer. Why didn’t he mention the huge difference in the types of carbs the Eminem‘s are from the lettuce. They are not the same types of carbs. There are healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs. The types of healthy carbs after consumed go to fuel whatever the specific food has in it. Where as the Eminem carbs are make up of nothing nutritional so they body can’t use it to fuel anything resulting in going straight to fat. You can have the same amount of that lettuce in calories as the Eminem’s. Even if you get sugar free Eminem’s (if they exist) you will never gain weight from having even a 5,000 calorie salad-only diet. Because the carbs in the lettuce is so nutritional all’s you would have to do is go for a run for the carbs to be used elsewhere and not turn to fat. I feel like this guy is a tiny bit uneducated on that OR he simply forgot to mention the very important fact that there are healthy carbs and junk carbs that can’t be turned into or used for anything but fat
The 500 calories of lettuce would be almost completely nutritionally useless UNTIL you added the 500 calories of olive oil, which would be infinitely healthier for you to consume in the first place.
Besides his take on cheese, all other things appear half-baked.
Food is not about just calories and losing weight. It has much more to offer, sadly there is no mention of the mental health that this weightless diet creates. Plus the amount of stress our body goes under when kept under such a rigorous diet.
Our body is not just about the aesthetics or looks or shape, there is a mind in their too that needs health, calm and happiness. I do not find much substance in what he has to say regardless of how much "younger" he claims to look. As to me, he looks weak and frail not just physically but also mentally.
These visuals were very helpful.
I've known this stuff for years but to SEE it was really amazing. But it is protein that keeps me full. He doesn't talk about protein.
It's carbs that keep me full and it caused weight gain
I guess you missed the part when he stated he lives off a PLANT BASED diet. Helped got rid of his asthma.
@@laurynwilliams8913 You can still get protein from plants. Seems odd that a nutritionist doesn't talk about protein, which is a very important nutrient, especially when you're trying to control your weight.
I know two people who lived well into their 90s and they said they drank 2 glasses of milk daily. The only way I can get sleep is to drink milk before bedtime, but it is organic and lactose free and low-fat. Milk can be considered food instead of just a drink so sometimes I have a big warm glass of it with honey for dinner.
This was awesome! Thank you so much gentlemen :) I shall be sharing this video with all my loved ones, especially those who love cheese ;) I cut out dairy on July 1st of this year and have seen changes in my health already. Cheers from Canada
The apple microphone 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the content too. The visuals are an eye opener.
Good for you Bob and Brad! Thank you for this valuable and informative video. I'm a new subscriber.
I have too laugh when people respond to a person describing what calorie density means as being "fat-phobic". I think some people tend to panic whenever they hear someone supporting a whole food plant based diet because for many decades we've all been over saturated with aggressive media advertising touting alleged health benefits of meat and dairy with lots of oil, oil, oil, and the Dept of Agriculture's biased dietary recommendations, so its no wonder that we cant even entertain the idea of consuming anything else.
Its good to see this video, as it reflects the current fact that our government has recently been rethinking their history of dietary recommendations and The World Health Organization's recent warning about consuming processed meats is being taken seriously. We need to stop being afraid of change and new ideas. For a country that is so wealthy and powerful, isn't it rather ironic that the US ranks among the top three countries with the highest rate of Cardio Vascular Disease, Diabetes, Stroke, Cancer, Osteoporosis, etc, compared to other countries where these diseases are rare or non-existent but their diet is predominantly unprocessed and plant based. Countless studies over past decades have repeatedly proven this. Check out NutritionFacts.org or read the China Study or Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease.
Like other commentators, I too, have switched away from the Standard American Diet due to decades of obesity related health problems and have been consuming a whole foods plant based diet for the past 2 years now. I will be turning 60 in less than 3 months. I too, feel like a teenager since going plant based! No regrets at all, never going back.
At the 12:40 mark there’s a weird jump right when he was about to say what was in the bowl. Does anybody know what is in the bowl he picks up?

That was indeed a great way to explain the calorie myth ! iam just loving it
What are talking about when you say it is a calorie myth?
@@sweetguy19762 I th8nk they might have meant that some people think "calories in, calories out" is all it takes to lose weight. For some people, it's where those calories come from that matters, simpky reducing calories isn't enough
#1 Eat less, move more (I live in France, portions are significantly smaller than in the USA or the UK.). #2 Eat a lot more greens and veg/salad. Simply, eating less, if you eat more plant food (all plant food - don't avoid carbs or potatoes) you end up eating fuel for the body and it is very hard to pick up weight eating natural non-processed food.
Is the idea to be skinny or healthy? I believe a person's aim should be living a healthful life. I have multiple aunts who lived into their 80s and 90s, and they ate meat. The difference, however, is that they prepared their own food and ate from primarily farm-fresh ingredients. There is very little nutrition in that particular lettuce he has on the table. Also, the fruits he's chosen are relatively expensive, especially when they are not seasonal. This video concerns me a little, although I will admit that I see the bigger point he's trying to make. Less junk, more nutritious food choices.
He prefers vinegar over olive oil thats enough for me.
@@roxik1073 I hear what he's saying, but for me, I like food that tastes good, and fat carries flavor in food. I focus on "good" fats (which the brain needs), and eating small portions. Otherwise, meal times would be sad and boring to me, so I guess I'd lose lots of weight and be depressed.

His information is bases on Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. John McDougall. Google them. Great information out there!
Thank you so much, very practical, accessible and helpful information. Thanks Craig!
I've always liked your videos before and found them very helpful, but I rarely watch videos on diet from a doctor's channel because they usually end up frustrating me! But I was curious... so I watched it. I was thrilled to hear the words whole food plant based! Now I love your channel even more because you heal the entire body, inside and out! Thank you for your channel 😀
Patricia Haney how is spaghetti and whole wheat toast a whole food?
Debra Phoenix Wampole it is probably whole wheat spaghetti and the bread of made from any of the whole foods and not refined, is allowed. When I changed to wfpb I started making my own breads with different flowers it’s so easy. There are lots of plant based spaghettis too. As wfpb is becoming more popular, obviously the food industry is adapting their products to keep the money rolling in! Just look at the ranges of plant based milks now as one example, so easy to make at home but we still prefer to buy it for convenience. Well I do as I’ve gotten lazy lol.
@@chalkiememe4183 yeah, he looks like he makes his own bread
Very informative thank you guys
Best TH-cam channel I watch
Very fascinating program
Thanks Craig! Very informative and useful info. I didn’t realise M&M’s were so calorific!
Bob & Brad are so good , very informative
craig feels like he’s trying to impress his father in laws
😂😂
I started following a WFPB no oil about two years ago due to having researched nutrition as I had some chronic illnesses and was referred to cardiologist. My cholesterol was thru the roof plus other bloods out of normal ranges and I had for years been a runner and thought I’d been eating healthy. After only six months of wfpb my cholesterol, and other bloods normalised. I feel so much better, I have always been a decent cook but now I make so many more dishes using options and mixing foods I’d never have thought would go before! I feel great, people have commented many times on my skin and ask what creams I use. I don’t feel anything from my arthritis or my other chronic illnesses.
So yes if you want to continue eating meat, dairy, oil fine but look up what it does to your body and perhaps cut it down if you can’t or don’t wish to cut it out completely, you will notice a difference in your health.
Oh and I eat far more now than I ever did due to the calorie density, as per this video.
Thanks Brad and Bob for the informative videos as well as the physio which has been so helpful with an unfortunate injury I had this year.
My salad dressing is no dressing. I like vegetables to taste exactly how they are meant to taste.
This is how you supposed to eat vegetables. Don't add anything. Just eat them.
Good video! I want to add, I use 1 to 2 Tablespoons of nuts, plus vinegar and garlic onion , etc. to blend for a dressing. Usually it makes enough for 2 or 3 salads. And, all those veggies are loaded with nutrition, where as the meats in our diet have very little nutrition. Potatoes have lots of nutrition too. Fat is the culprit that give potatoes a bad rap! Love your easy exercises and workouts.
Meat has plenty of nutrition! B-12 for once! Wow! People, get educated, c'mon!

Thank you for having a plant-based nutritionist on! Now I like you even more.
I subscribed the other day and am loving your channel. I am a diabetic in denial, so would love some tips on weight loss directed at diabetics
Exercise needs to be added to the calorie calculations as well. Nuts? I handful a day is healthy brain food! Pasta is not. I have switched to black bean pasta. Delish!
such a genuine table chat! Thanks for the tips =)
Realized the devastating effect of cheese on the metal parts at the factory. Cannot possibly take this seriously.
Thank you! I couldnt get past that either.
Dairy does clog arteries as it does pipes

You are an intelligent woman Leila! Good for you!
My diet is plant based too. The animals I eat, eat plants and I eat them. Lettuce is loaded with water that’s why it’s low in calories. I lost 50 lbs eating meat, dairy, veggies whatever just not eating sugar and grains and simple carbs.
Plant-based is the healthiest way without the animals, skip the middleman.
Whole food plant based diets are amazing!So much more energy, lower cholesterol, lower bloodplessure, skin clears up, constipation dissappears, sleep is better, you name it.. People who watch this and are inspired to try it: DO IT! You will never regret it!!
And dont forget you save all those cute little animals and use way less resources!
And you even linked Michael Greger, McDougall and Caldwell, so exited to see that! They tell the truth, no question.
Mikkel Sørensen, so many great vegans commenting on this channel! I love it!
Taking on a topic that is not in your area of expertise can damage your credibility. That did not happen here because 1. you brought in an expert, and 2. you approached the interview with appropriate humility. Kudos.
I started putting just warm water and some spices on my potato. It tastes great. Now I wonder why I ever put anything like butter or sour cream on my potato...or even yogurt..., it's not needed. Tastes just as great without them...
Anthony Johnson aw I love yogurt on everything. It has lots of protein and more importantly lots of probiotics
Amp yogurt is not healthy.
Animal proteins are the causes of most of our most deadly diseases. If you eat well there is no need for additional probiotics.

Amazing discussiom. Thank you
I lost 40 lbs in three months on a low carb/ high fat and protein diet. I felt 20 years younger on it
Great show on good diet; however, it is also important to also talk about the role of various nutrients, and understand the role of balance in the diet. For instance fat is essential for proper brain function. Omega 3, found in olive oil and other health fats, the richest source being fish oils, are building blocks of the brain. Also medium chain fatty acids, have been found to assist in brain function and improve the condition of people suffering with dementia / Alzheimers, just as one example.
That aside, I love your show, I am in my 70’s, and have made good use of information on exercises to relieve back and shoulder pain, and maintain good mobility generally; plus you are down to earth, light-hearted and friendly, and that makes life better.
My cholesterol was 304. After 14 days on a whole food plant based diet
NO OIL NO NUTS
NO SEEDS
NO AVOCADO
NO COCONUT my cholesterol dropped to 175!
Good for you! Items you mentioned are usually ok for plant based. Please tell what you DID eat.
A balanced and informed perspective on the components of nutrition would mention protein. Protein is (like fat, though not as much) also more calorically dense than carbs or fiber (or water), and yet (also like fat), some of it is essential to our diets. Don't get me wrong, I agree that caloric density considerations can help with weight loss, but I can also tell you from experience that if you ONLY focus on caloric density, it is very easy to fail to get enough protein, and end up losing the other thing that helps you lose weight, which is muscle volume. I do also agree that carbs are not the villain, but in truth, there is no villain; there is only our tendency to overeat those food items to which we are most attracted, and that is usually some mixture of both fat and sugar.
Great video! I'm plant based and no longer have seasonal allergies or get colds/flu.
XtinaLucia, thank you! ~The Animals 😍
XtinaLucia me too plus other health benefits.
I hope it also helps against Covid;))
@@Beachandpool studies are showing that vitamin D helps fight the virus
Great eye-opening info. Excellent demonstration. I hope they got to have the M&Ms at the end.
Lmao! Yes, I love when me and my hubby tall about healthy eating and then snack on M&Ms!
Did your guest cut the processed foods also?
He eats spaghetti.....that's processed.
WOW! Thank you Craig!
