After college, Richard Hubbard felt hopeless. It was a stressful time looking for a steady job, he wasn’t moving as much as he did in college, and he loved candy and junk food - not a great combination for a web and graphic designer who would spend hours sitting at his desk during the day.
Rich also avoided doctors because he didn’t need a doctor to tell him what he already knew. He was nearing 350 pounds and destined to a life of medications if he didn’t make changes.
Ironically, it was a doctor and a mandatory physical that changed everything. Well, it wasn’t the doctor as much as it was Rich’s desire to research the best way to reverse his hypertension. That solution? You guessed it…a plant-forward diet.
In one year, Richard lost over 120 pounds. Since then he has gone on to lose at least 30 more and he’s become a lean, mean, muscle machine with a whole foods, plant-based approach.
Today, he shares his formula for lasting weight loss with nutrient-dense meals, batch cooking, and reducing sodium intake for optimal health and blood pressure. He is passionate about giving back to the community and has even become a nutrition coach and an author. His book A Plant Based Journey To Health: From Morbidly Obese To Plant-Based Athlete is available now. - บันเทิง

Great interview! Thanks for all you do.
Awesome encouragement! 👏🏾👍🏽I know what to do. I am an almost “ McDougaller” I dropped the animal flesh about five years ago and follow a starch based diet ever since. I don’t bring eggs or cheese home but I eat them in restaurants occasionally. I also eat baked goods when I go to events. I’m a female approaching my middle 70’s. I never had a serious weight problem. It wouldn’t hurt me to lose 10 or 20 pounds. (I lost 15 lbs during the pandemic just by cutting out lunch since I wasn’t going anywhere. I kept it off. I’m about 5’6 and my top weight is 153 pounds)
I have McDougall soup here at home. I’m going to try your oat milk. Is it refrigerated?
Thanks for all of the inspiring podcasts. ❤(I have the…Woman Warrior Cookbook!)
