I've been vegan for a few years now but just this past month went totally oil free. It was way easier than I thought and I started feeling the benefits almost immediately. I have endometriosis and was born without my esophagus formed and have had multiple surgeries. Going oil free has helped me so much with inflammation, pain, bloating related to my gi and endo problems.
Omg.. I just seeing this video and your comment... I have stage 4 Endometriosis and i have tried almost everything to stop this horrific pain every month ive had for years but just a few days ago i read that oil may be causing my inflammtion which blew my mind because i thought certain oils were healthy.. this why im here but hearing that going oil free has helped you is super encouraging to me.. thanks for sharing...❤🙏🏿
The oil is the worst food ! Even the most high quality organic cold pressed oils made me so many harms in the body and I suspect that eating oils before led to to some skin cancers in many people ! I eat thouroughly oil -free meals and feel wonderfully !
One month vegan, thanks to your videos, you have made the transition easy and fun. While doing food prep i have your videos on which makes it go quicker. I have lived with depression for 28ys and within 4days my mood was improved. I also quit coffee and dairy the same day. I just wanted to really thank you for helping me change my life, and headspace. Sending gratitude from Australia.
Wow! I really hope things continue to improve for you. I know life is stressful right now over there. Remember no progress is ever linear. Just keep moving forward and stay consistent. There is no other way. Sending good vibes from Canada!
Just started plant based 6 days ago and loving it so far. Started it in an attempt to get lean after 58 years. I was working out and hit a spot where I just couldn't get the numbers to move. Started research on plant based eating and figured it would help by simply reducing my caloric intake if nothing else. I stumbled on your vids looking for ways to kick things up a notch. Never considered how much the oil made a difference. Great results so far, lets see how eliminating oil helps. Thanks for the advice!
I just started a week ago. I'm loving it. Challenging because I'm the only one in my house but I'm finding lots of resources and encouragement on TH-cam.
@@pamdoherty723 + @mike c this is amazing to Hear! It’s super great for you and the environment!! I found when I switched I gained a much better focus on whole and filling foods. Started looking more at food as something that will fuel me than just hit the cravings. Obviously that fuel will taste good too. I’m talking chevron with techron (imagine if this was a new style of ad lol 😳). So finding less calorically dense foods filled with fiber and protein that fill me up for longer and help get me all those nutrients. I used to eat for instance an entire bad of chips and STILL feel hungry like an hour later and not know why. But now if all makes sense. Anyways! I hope both of your journeys are going well and that with the troubles of Covid you’ve found more time cooking and finding creat nutritious recipes :)))
I've recently converted to no oil in cooking and it's amazing. Food tastes so much better. I feared the veggies will be dry and burnt, but they super juicy and full of flavor. Well done on healthy cooking and thank you for sharing your recipes! As someone mentioned before, doing dishes is way easier, a light rinse - done!
I'm just getting there now 😩 Its certainly not pointless when it comes to flavour, but it's pricey and not needed, and easy enough to cut out. It's just an adjustment.
Robert Klevens I know! I can’t believe how much oil is in everything. Baked goods, boiled veg, salad dressings, rice, noodles, soups, grilled items, it not just all the deep fried stuff. Very frustrating.
Indeed, my last Thai express veggies stir fry order where laddered in oil, and I asked to go easy on the oil prior it got to the cook. Maybe next time I ask NO oil, the pans are already coated with oil would be enough, you would think!
@@volucu Why wouldn't you believe that? It is in everything because people like the way it tastes. People usually go out to eat the food they like to eat and people like oil.
Corn starch contains fatty liptons that coagulate your blood regulation and your dymethaltryptamine production.Its common concensus among top nutritionists, scientists, and dietitians that corn starch hydrogenated from the capalairies of hemoglobin in corn production all leads to the fact that I have no clue what I'm talking about.
Oil free since I've started following you! Love how much better you feel when not consuming it regularly, my skin became better, my digestive system runs nice, plus you can eat a little more in return 👌
I've been vegetarian since 1996 and went vegan recently. I also cut out processed sugar. I'm glad I found sites like yours that inform me about topics such as this video. I was always led to believe olive oil is a good fat. I'm doing without as much as possible now. Thanks 🙂
You are so right about oil. I keep a little jar of black olives in my fridge to use in salad dressing. I just crush a couple of them for one big salad and they have much more flavor and much more nutrition than than olive oil.
Of all the people i've seen, this guy has the most adorable eyes, like a cute little puppy :o Can't help but notice, being at the center of the screen and all.
Awesome video..glad that I found your U tube channel . I used to be 86kg in year 2012 . I change my lifestyle immediately by cooking my food with water. I lost 23kg within 6 months. Most of my friends could not believe and can't understand how can I cook without oil. My journey, started in year 2013. Now is already 6 years and I still able to maintain my healthy weight . Today is my first time I came across your video . At least now, I can share your channel to my friend and prove to them, it does work . I m so happy that at least , I know that someone out there cooking without oil. Your video encourage me to continue to do what I m been doing all along , cooking without oil. Keep posting great videos . Keep up the good work & God Bless you 😀👍
Derek - thank you so much for your fun and educational videos. I have been vegan for over 5 years now but still struggle with my weight. You have inspired me to work out more and remove/reduce bread, oil and sugar from my food. Laurie
Lots of great recipes and videos; as a heart patient having gone vegan on the Esselstyn books, I've expanded and found many others eating the same good oil-free vegan diet. Lots of good evidence proving the health benefits, and weight loss is something you don't even need to try to do as an oil-free vegan, it just happens naturally. Feeling better than ever. I will never go back to eating the crap in meat and dairy. Thanks for the great work :)
I am oil free at home but don't stress when I'm eating out, like you. I pretty much learned how to eat and cook vegan from you! Thank you for the great content, as always 🤗
I have been learning so much from your videos..lost 3 lbs....in 2 weeks... I'm not 100% vegan---but the nutrition info has really helped me..and I definately love the sauces! Mostly the hummus sauce.
This video helps me understand how to cook without oil I have oily skin I need reduce oil, I tried it and it works thank you Derek. I watch your videos alot
I just discovered your channel about a week ago, and I can't believe what I've been missing! Your enthusiasm and energy is wonderful! Thanks for these tips...🌱❤️
Ooh! Ooh! Buy the forks over knives cookbook and make yourself some "Chinese Brown Sauce". No oils, tons of garlic, Ginger and some soy and arrowroot powder. It gets thick and sticky and it just makes a stir fry taste even more amazing! Thanks for the video, live your energy!
@@laurenlocd3180 Actually phytoestrogens block cell pathways in males helping to prevent the overproduction of actual estrogen and long term are associated with testosterone increases.
Indoors I am oil-free and added sugar free (my exception is I do enjoy maple syrup on popcorn rarely). I have avoided silicon mats for baking so far. I couldn't find safety research on them for baking, so I have stuck to using paper myself. I also do not limit myself when I eat out (which isn't often). Another exception is if something new comes out, I may buy it and cook it at home, so I might try a new burger (I recently tried the beyond meat burger for the first time), I like to keep up with new stuff, but I do not buy stuff like that regularly, just as a test to see what new stuff people have dreamed up. 90% of the time cook everything for scratch...
Today I stumbled across your video with your brother making healthy quesadillas! I love your energy and joyful spirit! I like how you don't use oils. I can't wait to see your videos on salad dressings. I tried to make my own ranch several times last summer, when I learned about plant based eating, but it never turned out right. So, I stuck with Hidden Valley Ranch. I hope it works when I try it your way! I'm excited to check out your other videos as well! Thank you for sharing!❤
After watching The Game Changers, I found and have been watching your videos for several weeks now and they have been the only constant that keeps me vegan! Excellent content with so much value! Thank you!!!
Man I get so much friction from people when I recommend they ditch oil. Great job, totally agree with you. For athletes in particular oil reduces blood flow.
What about coconut oil? Is that bad for us? Are all oils unhealthy? For example, I take a black seed oil supplement to aid in good health. So much conflicting information out there... If I'm doing something wrong, I feel like I really need to know.
@@hypnocilicdreams you need fat not oil so i recommend people to take it from whole plant foods like legumes, grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds, avocado and olives. one handful of nuts or seeds or 30 olives or 1/2 an avocado try to make a sauce with it. like a chipotle sauce recipes: Level 1 - chipotle Sauce (Mexican culture) 1/4 Cup of Water. 3 Tablespoons of Tomato Sauce. 1/8 Cups of Fresh Cilantro. 2 Tablespoons of Lemon or Lime Juice. 2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup. 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Nut or Seed Butter (Sesame / Cashew). 1 Jalapeno or Serrano Pepper. 1/2 Medium Clove of Garlic. 1/4 Teaspoon of Cumin Powder. 1/6 of a Medium Bell Pepper. 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt. Note: Great for balance. Level 2 - teriyaki Masutādo Sauce (japanese culture) 1/3 Cup of Water. 2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos. 2 Tablespoons of Lemon or Lime Juice. 2 Tablespoons of Black or Brown Mustard. 2 Tablespoon of Maple Syrup or Molasses. 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Nut or Seed Butter (Sesame / Peanut). 1 Inch of Ginger. 1/2 Medium Clove of Garlic. 1 Date. A Pinch of Black Pepper (Optional). Note: Great for digestion. mustard contains turmeric mixed with the added ginger adds for great health benefits
Yeah, discovered the power of vegetable broth to do stir fry and love to do that with mushrooms mixed with onion. My husband almost won't let me eat them when I make them and leftovers? What leftovers? You made loads of good points and I am on the same page with you, ALL THE WAY!
The other night I made a cashew sauce for baked potatoes. 1 1/2 cups cashews, a little over a cup of water (to whatever consistency you like), dill, a little salt, black pepper, a little turmeric, and some lime juice. Blended it in the Vitamix and done. Came up with it extemporaneously as I wanted something on the potatoes. Turned out to be the best topping for baked potatoes I’ve ever had. Nice and creamy and flavorful. We had lentils as well and the sauce was good on them. Had some sauce left over and put it in the fridge. Turned out it makes a great veggie dip. There was still some residual sauce in the container and I mopped it up with a spring mix of greens and turned out to make a really great salad dressing. And it took less than 5 minutes to make.
I've just realized what oil does to your body a few weeks ago and have been trying to cut back in my cooking. Thanks for the tips on how to cook without it!
I use cast iron to brown or sear (like tofu) and put the oil on the pan AFTER I use and clean it then wipe it out and heat the pan to evaporate any left overs. As a result the pan is non stick without any additional oil at the beginning. I am sure I am ingesting some of it but it is far less and I still get the caramelization.
J G also, who eats a tablespoon of olive in one sitting? Lol I use that amount to sauté a large batch of veggies or to make a stir fry. Therefore that amount of calories is spread out over the course of several meals.
Nice one from the UK, I'm sure your videos are being done less, just started being vegan. Love your inspiration videos and I must say you have kept me going. Well done nice videos. I have lost 1 and a half stone in weight since January 8th so feel amazing. Good to have some videos to make sure I'm on the right track.
I made some oil free tofu nuggets that turned out very well. Just made a batter of nutritional yeast, curry powder, extra turmeric, smoked paprika, Himalayan salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Coated all the pieces and put them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or so (depends on how crispy you want them) and had some really delicious tofu nuggets. Would go nicely with the fries in this video.
I am 2 hours past my bedtime. I cannot stop watching your video. I am waiting to cook my morning breakfast. Keep it going! I feel you should add all recipes onto one blog as it is easy to search and definitely easy to share with the elderly groups :)
Thanks so much for this! I’ve definitely heard about oil free cooking but couldn’t get my head around it. Seeing it in action helped so much and I was able to make my first oil free meal!
I'm on board with everything you're saying! You are well informed to let us know about the free radicals as well as the 0 nutrient density. Some people only mention one or two other. I just ordered a pressure cooker/air fryer combo, and dehydrator trays which I plan to use as airfrying trays too. There's a basket that comes with it but I want to see if the food crisps better on the trays. I want to convert standard recipes to vegan oil free recipes, with some of that texture, that my diabetic boyfriend can enjoy and hopefully reverse his diabetes by reducing his weight and insulin resistance. I learned from Dr Greger that saturated fat is a key factor in diabetes, it's not just the empty carbs! Thanks for the well presented and colorful video!
Great video! I’m pretty much like you, I don’t cook with oil and try to avoid it as much as possible but occasionally it will be in something pre-made I buy or if I’m out to eat, which is rare. Then I try to keep it at the bottom of the list of ingredients. You definitely notice the oily slicker after your taste buds adjust.
Dude you’re so enthusiastic. And so self effacing at the same time. It’s infectious and especially informative as you are a nutritionist. I’m three weeks in to my plant-based journey but I am still using very good quality Olive Oil From watching Neil Barnard and the others I have realised oil is not ideal as part of the optimum plant-based diet So I’m very grateful for this video which shows me exactly how I can make great chips (that’s what we call them in the UK) and sauces and stir fries without oil I’m 63 years young and fit and I lift weights and I’d love to do a muscle up, but to be honest I don’t think it’s ever going to happen Keep them coming and thanks again
Dude I was always so confused about the whole yam and sweet potato confusion, but one day I finally researched it enough and found the answer: THE ARE ALL SWEET POTATOES. Everything you see in a store whether it is labeled a yam or a sweet potato is in fact a SWEET POTATO. There are many different kinds. The only yam that exists is one from Africa that is VERY large, white, and very hard and is rarely ever seen in stores. Don’t listen to the produce peeps they never know. LOL!!!! Anyways, fun fact. Hopefully this clears things up for people. :)
Ari Wing - THANK YOU. It sucks that so many people believe the "the orange ones are yams" thing. orange, white, purple, whatever, they're all sweet potatoes. A yam looks like a giant turd-shaped log.
Yams also are found in Asia South and Central America. There are over 150 different types ranging a small potato to 7.5 ft weighing 120 lbs. Color ranging from white orange purple and pink. The biggest difference yams have more sugar then sweet potatoes. Yams are lower in vit Aand C. Confusion began when the slaves saw the sweet potatoes. They used their word for sweet potatoes and the slave owners misheard. The owners called them yams.
@@steveclaas856 When you're comparing things, use the word "than." The word "then" is used for time or sequence. For instance "This apple is larger than that apple." and "I ate the apple, then I ate a banana."
Oils always makes me really tired. When I dont have them, I have more energy. It doesnt matter what oil it is. I've tried all of them. I think this is about genetics maybe too. I can't digest much fat. I mostly eat only hi quality protein and carbs and i feel fine. We all are different. EDIT: Oils gives me instant brain fog and stomach problems.
It's pure artificially concentrated fat that does not exist in nature, much like sugar. It demands much more energy from the body to break down and digest.
@@spaceshiptomoon I haven't tried lard but Ive tried all butters.. also Ghee. Everything that is from cow gives me instant brainfog and stomach problems.. I think Im just very sensitive to that casein. A2 casein type cow's butter might work but not available in Finland.
@@jayray1637 ghee is supposed to be 100% fat so it shouldn't have any casein proteins or lactose in it. Though I think there might be something to fat causing brain fog because of how calorie dense it is. Oils probably even moreso.
@@Blue_Ocean720 Yes I think my body cant take much fat. I've noticed that since I was a teenager. But some fats makes me much sicker that others. For example all oils and butter makes me feel super fatigued.. but eating little bit of nuts is okay (even though they are hi in fat). I really don't know what's the mechanism of it. I feel the best version of myself with hi carb (hi quality carb) diet, some protein and very low fat. Also all meats makes me feel sick, even turkey fillet. Only some low fat fish works for me. We are all different. I had food diary for over 10 years. That was the only way to find all food that makes me feel sick. Doctors never could help me.
I am totally Mediterranean oil lover person. I always though that oil was the healthiest food but now I changed my mind a bit. Thank you for all the info I love your videos.
True story; I used to eat oil drizzled on bread! I always thought oil was a health food and a staple of cooking. Now I’ve become a lot more aware of how many empty calories it is and I try not to cook with it. I’m definitely trying to switch into more Whole Foods because I’m afraid I’ve been a total processed food vegan! Haha 😂
I just found you 2 days ago and have been watching. Your work is Amaze balls. I've made smoothie bowls last 2 days and 7yr old son loves them. Copied 2 days worth of meals and even got pumped to go harder in my workout today. I've lost 139lbs now but lost muscle mass as well and learned from your channel I wasnt eating enough or enough protein! I'm on my way to the fit toned body I desire thanks to you. Thanks so much. Your a joy to watch and I'm inspired!!! 😁😊😊💕 #proudvegan
I'm working on using less for example, a liter of EVOO use to last me three months. However I have been nursing the same amount for almost one year. I cannot lie, occasionally it creeps into my salad dressings but I've been so much more mindful about using nut butters, pitted olives, avocados etc. I've noticed the difference in my body as well. Great post, thanks.
Easier alternative to fries- Boil potatoes till 97% done. Cut them(CAREFULLY) into fries-like slices then air fry at 200C for 12 mins! Perfect EVERY SINGLE TIME, and they NEVER BURN. It’s always SO crispy and everyone in my family loved them. Do try it!
Lol! I have a strong connection to Greece and Italy so steering away from oil is going to be interesting yet I am excited to experiment! Thank you for your vibrant and dynamic Plant Based Powers! Awesome work
I have some discomfort every time I eat nuts. Now I'm going oil-free and I'm already feeling a difference. Perhaps my pancreas was getting inflamed. I have been cooking with olive oil for the past 4 years :/... so I will continue with my oil-free diet and hope for the best. Greetings
I would love it if you did a video creating a basic sauce with different flavor options. How about a sauce recipe book? That would be awesome! Thanks for these great videos. I really enjoy watching the two of you ☺️
I've been opting out of cooking with oil for the last month or so, been using water or vegetable broth. Cashew sauces have been a lifesaver actually, especially for my kids lol. I love your attitude in your videos, great information!
Hello I’m Val from Manitoba, Canada. January. 1/2023 I started a whole foods plant based diet for my health and came across your channel. I love your channel, I get so many recipe ideas. The other day I saw the one where you and your girlfriend made a few different pizzas and I made the cheeseless one you had in that video it was delicious.
Awesome sauce! Thanks for making these videos. I'm a 49 yo Vegan with a thyroid issue and trying to keep the weight off has been a major issue, so I've been trying to go oil free and really reduce the processed foods. Your content really helps!
I notice that when I consume too much oil, it messes with my skin, and it makes me feel like trash, so i started consuming less of it. just like how i stopped consuming meat and dairy :)
WFPB oil free so very happy to get suggestions . It is possible to omit the oil in Vegan videos but I find it easier to follow the content which is nearest to my own eating plan.
Honestly Truly i watch soooo many Clips! Learning or adding new ideas to my own Vegan Prep! Point Being: You are my Favorite! Sincerely! Keeping it Easy! Pleasing! Tasty! Healthy! thank You sooo much . . .
Damn, never knew olive oil had so many calories until today when I looked on the back and searched for this vid. I was hungry when I got home and wanted something quick, so had 4 pitta breads and used 5 table spoons of olive oil. 5 table spoons contained 613 calories and 68g of fat. Wtf... Now I realise that when I used to get junk/fast food it would normally be high in calories, but it's obvious that's because of the amount of oil used. Great video, thank you for opening my eyes
it doesnt matter the calories still very healthy for ya this man is misinformed olive oil is part of the blue zones Mediterranean diet and there good fats
@@Homebusinessesideas The mediterranean diet success is not what they eat as much as it is what they do not eat! Olive oil is not the reason they are healthier. They don't eat refined flours, pizza, processed meats and so forth. Cutting all of those will make us healthier but not optimal health. It was when I cut oil that I finally got better numbers.
@@aaronhyojinhughes4397 Aaron & Hyojin Hughes I assure you we do eat refined flours, processed meats and pizza... You think they don't eat pizza in Italy?
I was watched one of your q&a's and you said you were taking a break from garlic/onion powder because you thought it was bothering your digestion I think? It seems you use onion/garlic powder often now, did it turn out not to make a difference in your digestion or did you change the types you used?
Doesn't take much onion and garlic to bother the stomach especially on an empty stomach. Add this to the fact that the body doesn't want garlic or onion on its own is a pretty clear sign that we probably shouldn't eat them, unless maybe for some medicinal purposes.
What those two said above... Don't rely on the mock meats and processed vegan foods (although absolutely fine to have occasionally), make sure to eat a lot of whole foods to get the necessary calorie intake that your body needs. Rice and bean meals are a great way to go. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Planned on just watching the video for extra info on the subject without leaving a comment. But I was so happy to see that you mentioned the importance of fats/lipids in our diets upfront at the very beginning that I had to comment. I see a lot of people neglecting to mention it. Even if they themselves aren’t reminiscing fats some people can fall into unhealthy cycles of eating waaaay to little fats from heating oil free videos that aren’t informative enough on that aspect of the topic. Props!!
I've actually found that they do go crispy. The sugar turns into a syrup around the outside and caramelises, thus turning the edges crispy. At least this is my experience.
Great video. I'm the same, don't use at home, but as another commented, it's virtually impossible to avoid in restaurants. I think to get salad, but I have to have "dressing", so u usually get something else since I haven't got in habbit of bringing my own dressing with me. I also try to bring my own homemade plant milk since that's the way I like my coffee, and not everywhere has plant milk. Also store bought plant milk has a lot of oil.
Thanks for explaining this, I often wondered why people go oil free. My concern is that plant oils have the highest vitamin E content of any food. Especially for people with low appetites it can be hard to get enough vitamin E or even enough calories without some oil.
@Barenity I am going to take a moment to help you out.... use your own words.. "Plant oils are the highest in Vitamin E" does that not mean the oils was extracted from a plant? yes it does. so... Just eat the plant in its whole form. problem solved.
I *tried* to go oil free for a long time I just couldn’t get on board. It wasn’t worth sacrificing the flavor. I’ll do it sometimes but I can’t commit to 100% oil free
I also am not all oil free, but I do try to use it a lot less now. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Greger's new book is "A good diet is by no means an all or nothing proposition, and every little bit helps"
Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it. You know, I view a lot of TH-cam channels featuring whole-food plant-based cooking, since I’m so passionate to get this right. I find your channel among the best I’ve found. You have that right combination of a little science and lots of great recipes and cooking techniques. You’re obviously quite bright and committed and I wish you every success. I promise, I will keep watching as much as I can. Thanks!
I haven't intentionally eaten oil for quite some time and have heard from all of the experts; Drs. Esselstyn, McDougall, Ornish, MacGregor, etc., as to the harmfulness of oil. You, however, have put it more clearly and succinctly than all of them (and I respect them all highly). I think the layperson will relate to your explanation very well! Thanks for your videos. Very helpful. I tried your Kichari recipe recently sans oil of course, and we've been making it twice a week and our 6 years old grand nephew loves it! I add fresh tomatoes instead of avocado (which I love) as I'm working on losing weight. Thanks again!
He is so friendly and explain everything so clearly and bright. I love his videos so much
Lol canadians
Totally agree
Anyone know if he’s single ? Love me a guy that is hot and can cook
Thats because he is promoting a spesific product thats why
There are plenty of people on TH-cam promoting a certain diet who will demonize food talk to their audience like everyone is an idiot.
Another positive to not cooking with oil is cleaning up dishes is a breeze!
That is one of my favorite reasons Not to use oil!
Omg never thought of that. Oil is my pet peave with washing up!

Limiting oil is great, but go further and watch Refined Complex Carbohydrates, even vegan cheese is high in fat. And eat seeds and nuts in moderation
I've recently converted to no oil in cooking and it's amazing. Food tastes so much better. I feared the veggies will be dry and burnt, but they super juicy and full of flavor. Well done on healthy cooking and thank you for sharing your recipes! As someone mentioned before, doing dishes is way easier, a light rinse - done!

I'm just getting there now 😩 Its certainly not pointless when it comes to flavour, but it's pricey and not needed, and easy enough to cut out. It's just an adjustment.
Eating at home without oil is easy. Eating out is nearly impossible.

Not sure if someone mentioned already but you can toss your yam fries with corn starch and your choice of spices for crispier yam fries.
Cool! Gonna try that!
Wonderful idea. Thank you.

Yumm!
Corn starch contains fatty liptons that coagulate your blood regulation and your dymethaltryptamine production.Its common concensus among top nutritionists, scientists, and dietitians that corn starch hydrogenated from the capalairies of hemoglobin in corn production all leads to the fact that I have no clue what I'm talking about.
12:00 Derek burning his mouth has become a trademark of his videos. Also, watching you interrupt your own talking by nibbling on food is really funny.
Oil free since I've started following you! Love how much better you feel when not consuming it regularly, my skin became better, my digestive system runs nice, plus you can eat a little more in return 👌
I've been vegetarian since 1996 and went vegan recently. I also cut out processed sugar. I'm glad I found sites like yours that inform me about topics such as this video. I was always led to believe olive oil is a good fat. I'm doing without as much as possible now. Thanks 🙂
Love his personality. He's very informative and knowledgeable. And he has the most amazing blue eyes. I'm glad that I found his channel.
You are so right about oil. I keep a little jar of black olives in my fridge to use in salad dressing. I just crush a couple of them for one big salad and they have much more flavor and much more nutrition than than olive oil.
Reverend Al be safe about the sodium content of olives though
Reverend Al That's also what I do to add flavor. No oil is needed to get the flavors you want in your salad.
Seth Levandowski LOL be safe, for someone who sweats alot I eat as much salt as I can
I cook all my meals without oil now...You have helped me eat whole foods and cook my meals...Thanks...Keep the what I eat in a day vids coming.
Of all the people i've seen, this guy has the most adorable eyes, like a cute little puppy :o Can't help but notice, being at the center of the screen and all.
colorful eyes seem piercing to me. puppy eyes are brown to me
He really do tho
Lol the crazy thing is he's in his mid 30s! Being vegan keeps you looking and feeling young and healthy :D
I think you’ve had too much oil
I had problems with my appetite and by waching his videos I started to love food again. Thanks man!
Thank you Buddy! I love your content. You have been so helpful. I'm approaching 90 days as a Vegan and I am never looking back.
I have cut back maybe 90% on oil but I still use a little cold pressed avocado oil and sesame oil for asian recipes for flavor on rare occasions.
GReat that you're 90%. Try using tahini in place of sesame oil.
This guy is so user-friendly!💪
Awesome video..glad that I found your U tube channel . I used to be 86kg in year 2012 .
I change my lifestyle immediately by cooking my food with water.
I lost 23kg within 6 months. Most of my friends could not believe and can't understand how can I cook without oil.
My journey, started in year 2013. Now is already 6 years and I still able to maintain my healthy weight .
Today is my first time I came across your video . At least now, I can share your channel to my friend and prove to them, it does work .
I m so happy that at least , I know that someone out there cooking without oil.
Your video encourage me to continue to do what I m been doing all along , cooking without oil.
Keep posting great videos .
Keep up the good work & God Bless you 😀👍
Derek - thank you so much for your fun and educational videos. I have been vegan for over 5 years now but still struggle with my weight. You have inspired me to work out more and remove/reduce bread, oil and sugar from my food. Laurie
We pretty much do what you do. You have a great way of communicating your thoughts and explaining things properly. Much love!
Lots of great recipes and videos; as a heart patient having gone vegan on the Esselstyn books, I've expanded and found many others eating the same good oil-free vegan diet. Lots of good evidence proving the health benefits, and weight loss is something you don't even need to try to do as an oil-free vegan, it just happens naturally. Feeling better than ever. I will never go back to eating the crap in meat and dairy. Thanks for the great work :)
Hey, sounds like a good decision. Hope your recovery is going well :).
I am oil free at home but don't stress when I'm eating out, like you. I pretty much learned how to eat and cook vegan from you! Thank you for the great content, as always 🤗
I have been learning so much from your videos..lost 3 lbs....in 2 weeks... I'm not 100% vegan---but the nutrition info has really helped me..and I definately love the sauces! Mostly the hummus sauce.
Kudos to the editor of the video! No wasted time, and kept things lively, chipper, and entertaining! Also thanks for he oil-free cooking tips ;)
This video helps me understand how to cook without oil I have oily skin I need reduce oil, I tried it and it works thank you Derek. I watch your videos alot
I just discovered your channel about a week ago, and I can't believe what I've been missing! Your enthusiasm and energy is wonderful! Thanks for these tips...🌱❤️
you need to check the real facts in history before you start believing this vegan Bozo he is stating false claims about olive oil
Ooh! Ooh! Buy the forks over knives cookbook and make yourself some "Chinese Brown Sauce".
No oils, tons of garlic, Ginger and some soy and arrowroot powder. It gets thick and sticky and it just makes a stir fry taste even more amazing! Thanks for the video, live your energy!
Thanks for that tip!
This guy Derek has videos about sauces lots of them
Soy is not good for u lol
@@laurenlocd3180 Actually phytoestrogens block cell pathways in males helping to prevent the overproduction of actual estrogen and long term are associated with testosterone increases.
Indoors I am oil-free and added sugar free (my exception is I do enjoy maple syrup on popcorn rarely). I have avoided silicon mats for baking so far. I couldn't find safety research on them for baking, so I have stuck to using paper myself.
I also do not limit myself when I eat out (which isn't often).
Another exception is if something new comes out, I may buy it and cook it at home, so I might try a new burger (I recently tried the beyond meat burger for the first time), I like to keep up with new stuff, but I do not buy stuff like that regularly, just as a test to see what new stuff people have dreamed up. 90% of the time cook everything for scratch...
veganbodybuilding I’ve steered clear of silicon as well? Plastic are usually not safe...
I've been on the fence about baking with silicone too...
Today I stumbled across your video with your brother making healthy quesadillas! I love your energy and joyful spirit! I like how you don't use oils. I can't wait to see your videos on salad dressings. I tried to make my own ranch several times last summer, when I learned about plant based eating, but it never turned out right. So, I stuck with Hidden Valley Ranch. I hope it works when I try it your way! I'm excited to check out your other videos as well! Thank you for sharing!❤
After watching The Game Changers, I found and have been watching your videos for several weeks now and they have been the only constant that keeps me vegan! Excellent content with so much value! Thank you!!!
Man I get so much friction from people when I recommend they ditch oil. Great job, totally agree with you. For athletes in particular oil reduces blood flow.
oil reduces blood flow lol thats so bs ! olive oil is super healthy for your blood vanes etc ,sun flower is also healthy
@@elamriti bullshit you need some fat but binge eating on fat will get you fat like any oil just eat low fat just like you're primate ancestor.
What about coconut oil? Is that bad for us? Are all oils unhealthy? For example, I take a black seed oil supplement to aid in good health. So much conflicting information out there... If I'm doing something wrong, I feel like I really need to know.
@@hypnocilicdreams you need fat not oil so i recommend people to take it from whole plant foods like legumes, grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds, avocado and olives. one handful of nuts or seeds or 30 olives or 1/2 an avocado try to make a sauce with it. like a chipotle sauce recipes:
Level 1 - chipotle Sauce (Mexican culture)
1/4 Cup of Water.
3 Tablespoons of Tomato Sauce.
1/8 Cups of Fresh Cilantro.
2 Tablespoons of Lemon or Lime Juice.
2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup.
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Nut or Seed Butter (Sesame / Cashew).
1 Jalapeno or Serrano Pepper.
1/2 Medium Clove of Garlic.
1/4 Teaspoon of Cumin Powder.
1/6 of a Medium Bell Pepper.
1/2 Teaspoon of Salt.
Note: Great for balance.
Level 2 - teriyaki Masutādo Sauce (japanese culture)
1/3 Cup of Water.
2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos.
2 Tablespoons of Lemon or Lime Juice.
2 Tablespoons of Black or Brown Mustard.
2 Tablespoon of Maple Syrup or Molasses.
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Nut or Seed Butter (Sesame / Peanut).
1 Inch of Ginger.
1/2 Medium Clove of Garlic.
1 Date.
A Pinch of Black Pepper (Optional).
Note: Great for digestion.
mustard contains turmeric mixed with the added ginger adds for great health benefits
Too much fat in your diet makes your blood thicker.
Yeah, discovered the power of vegetable broth to do stir fry and love to do that with mushrooms mixed with onion. My husband almost won't let me eat them when I make them and leftovers? What leftovers?
You made loads of good points and I am on the same page with you, ALL THE WAY!
I love that you don't use oil much. It's awesome knowing alternatives. I really don't enjoy the taste of oil too much in my food. So this is great.
The other night I made a cashew sauce for baked potatoes. 1 1/2 cups cashews, a little over a cup of water (to whatever consistency you like), dill, a little salt, black pepper, a little turmeric, and some lime juice. Blended it in the Vitamix and done. Came up with it extemporaneously as I wanted something on the potatoes. Turned out to be the best topping for baked potatoes I’ve ever had. Nice and creamy and flavorful. We had lentils as well and the sauce was good on them. Had some sauce left over and put it in the fridge. Turned out it makes a great veggie dip. There was still some residual sauce in the container and I mopped it up with a spring mix of greens and turned out to make a really great salad dressing. And it took less than 5 minutes to make.
"Ive just put my hand in some beans" can't get more vegan than that lol
Omg 😂😂
I can't😂😂
He hasn't mentioned tofu yet, so I thought.Oh, maybe are you sure it wasn't tofu?Derek like you are trying to get the word tofu in😂
I've just realized what oil does to your body a few weeks ago and have been trying to cut back in my cooking. Thanks for the tips on how to cook without it!
I use cast iron to brown or sear (like tofu) and put the oil on the pan AFTER I use and clean it then wipe it out and heat the pan to evaporate any left overs. As a result the pan is non stick without any additional oil at the beginning. I am sure I am ingesting some of it but it is far less and I still get the caramelization.
Ive been using non stick oilve oil cooking spray which has the fat taken out lol
olive oil is best for salads only.
Im so glad you stated the difference between oil and healthy fat. H = N/C health equals nutrition over calories.
This is why I love people from Canada for the most part. They’re so nice and pleasant💞
Lol...and so entitled
twin cherry A lot of people feel very entitled. It’s definitely not native to Canada
I'm shook. I never even thought to look at the nutrition label on any oil I've ever used. That's a lot of calories.
J G his obsession with scientific research... break that down for me
Black hat 😆man you’re hilarious. What a guy🤣
J G also, who eats a tablespoon of olive in one sitting? Lol I use that amount to sauté a large batch of veggies or to make a stir fry. Therefore that amount of calories is spread out over the course of several meals.
Right!? I'm so surprised, I cant believe it!
@Donald Hariot True, just be careful how much oil you use. Also, canola oil has less calories than olive oil.
Nice one from the UK, I'm sure your videos are being done less, just started being vegan. Love your inspiration videos and I must say you have kept me going. Well done nice videos. I have lost 1 and a half stone in weight since January 8th so feel amazing. Good to have some videos to make sure I'm on the right track.
Dean Allen awesome, I watch him as well
for vegan inspiration 🇨🇦✌🏻
Nice! I started watching Derek back in 2016 when I was a newer vegan, and I'm never looking back :)
Hey, how is your healthy eating regimen going?
I made some oil free tofu nuggets that turned out very well. Just made a batter of nutritional yeast, curry powder, extra turmeric, smoked paprika, Himalayan salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Coated all the pieces and put them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or so (depends on how crispy you want them) and had some really delicious tofu nuggets. Would go nicely with the fries in this video.
a friend recommended me your channel and it helps me so much with vegan cooking and a balanced diet
I am 2 hours past my bedtime. I cannot stop watching your video. I am waiting to cook my morning breakfast. Keep it going!
I feel you should add all recipes onto one blog as it is easy to search and definitely easy to share with the elderly groups :)
Thanks so much for this! I’ve definitely heard about oil free cooking but couldn’t get my head around it. Seeing it in action helped so much and I was able to make my first oil free meal!
I'm on board with everything you're saying! You are well informed to let us know about the free radicals as well as the 0 nutrient density. Some people only mention one or two other. I just ordered a pressure cooker/air fryer combo, and dehydrator trays which I plan to use as airfrying trays too. There's a basket that comes with it but I want to see if the food crisps better on the trays. I want to convert standard recipes to vegan oil free recipes, with some of that texture, that my diabetic boyfriend can enjoy and hopefully reverse his diabetes by reducing his weight and insulin resistance. I learned from Dr Greger that saturated fat is a key factor in diabetes, it's not just the empty carbs! Thanks for the well presented and colorful video!
Great video! I’m pretty much like you, I don’t cook with oil and try to avoid it as much as possible but occasionally it will be in something pre-made I buy or if I’m out to eat, which is rare. Then I try to keep it at the bottom of the list of ingredients. You definitely notice the oily slicker after your taste buds adjust.
Dude you’re so enthusiastic.
And so self effacing at the same time.
It’s infectious and especially informative as you are a nutritionist.
I’m three weeks in to my plant-based journey but I am still using very good quality Olive Oil
From watching Neil Barnard and the others I have realised oil is not ideal as part of the optimum plant-based diet
So I’m very grateful for this video which shows me exactly how I can make great chips (that’s what we call them in the UK) and sauces and stir fries without oil
I’m 63 years young and fit and I lift weights and I’d love to do a muscle up, but to be honest I don’t think it’s ever going to happen
Keep them coming and thanks again
I love how you mix enthusiasm and science 👍
Mostly eliminated oil from my cooking and your videos help with that!
Dude I was always so confused about the whole yam and sweet potato confusion, but one day I finally researched it enough and found the answer: THE ARE ALL SWEET POTATOES. Everything you see in a store whether it is labeled a yam or a sweet potato is in fact a SWEET POTATO. There are many different kinds. The only yam that exists is one from Africa that is VERY large, white, and very hard and is rarely ever seen in stores. Don’t listen to the produce peeps they never know. LOL!!!! Anyways, fun fact. Hopefully this clears things up for people. :)
Ari Wing - THANK YOU. It sucks that so many people believe the "the orange ones are yams" thing. orange, white, purple, whatever, they're all sweet potatoes. A yam looks like a giant turd-shaped log.
I knew this as of 6 months ago coz it drove me crazy too!
Yams also are found in Asia South and Central America. There are over 150 different types ranging a small potato to 7.5 ft weighing 120 lbs. Color ranging from white orange purple and pink. The biggest difference yams have more sugar then sweet potatoes. Yams are lower in vit Aand C. Confusion began when the slaves saw the sweet potatoes. They used their word for sweet potatoes and the slave owners misheard. The owners called them yams.
Oh my God this had been an on going question for me thank you lol
@@steveclaas856 When you're comparing things, use the word "than." The word "then" is used for time or sequence. For instance "This apple is larger than that apple." and "I ate the apple, then I ate a banana."
Oils always makes me really tired. When I dont have them, I have more energy. It doesnt matter what oil it is. I've tried all of them. I think this is about genetics maybe too. I can't digest much fat. I mostly eat only hi quality protein and carbs and i feel fine. We all are different.
EDIT: Oils gives me instant brain fog and stomach problems.
It's pure artificially concentrated fat that does not exist in nature, much like sugar. It demands much more energy from the body to break down and digest.
Have you tried lard? Or real butter? These oils being pushed on us as healthy are actually cancerous.
@@spaceshiptomoon I haven't tried lard but Ive tried all butters.. also Ghee. Everything that is from cow gives me instant brainfog and stomach problems.. I think Im just very sensitive to that casein. A2 casein type cow's butter might work but not available in Finland.
@@jayray1637 ghee is supposed to be 100% fat so it shouldn't have any casein proteins or lactose in it. Though I think there might be something to fat causing brain fog because of how calorie dense it is. Oils probably even moreso.
@@Blue_Ocean720 Yes I think my body cant take much fat. I've noticed that since I was a teenager. But some fats makes me much sicker that others. For example all oils and butter makes me feel super fatigued.. but eating little bit of nuts is okay (even though they are hi in fat). I really don't know what's the mechanism of it.
I feel the best version of myself with hi carb (hi quality carb) diet, some protein and very low fat. Also all meats makes me feel sick, even turkey fillet. Only some low fat fish works for me. We are all different.
I had food diary for over 10 years. That was the only way to find all food that makes me feel sick. Doctors never could help me.
this guy is so nice and friendly, thanks for the video, keep up the good vibe.
I am totally Mediterranean oil lover person. I always though that oil was the healthiest food but now I changed my mind a bit. Thank you for all the info I love your videos.

True story; I used to eat oil drizzled on bread! I always thought oil was a health food and a staple of cooking. Now I’ve become a lot more aware of how many empty calories it is and I try not to cook with it. I’m definitely trying to switch into more Whole Foods because I’m afraid I’ve been a total processed food vegan! Haha 😂
I love the chaos in these videos, much more relatable lol
I just found you 2 days ago and have been watching. Your work is Amaze balls. I've made smoothie bowls last 2 days and 7yr old son loves them. Copied 2 days worth of meals and even got pumped to go harder in my workout today. I've lost 139lbs now but lost muscle mass as well and learned from your channel I wasnt eating enough or enough protein! I'm on my way to the fit toned body I desire thanks to you. Thanks so much. Your a joy to watch and I'm inspired!!! 😁😊😊💕

I'm working on using less for example, a liter of EVOO use to last me three months. However I have been nursing the same amount for almost one year. I cannot lie, occasionally it creeps into my salad dressings but I've been so much more mindful about using nut butters, pitted olives, avocados etc. I've noticed the difference in my body as well. Great post, thanks.

Saw a video about oil from Derek, still hadn't even watched it, and of course hit like.
Sending you lot of love from Serbia man!
Easier alternative to fries-
Boil potatoes till 97% done. Cut them(CAREFULLY) into fries-like slices then air fry at 200C for 12 mins! Perfect EVERY SINGLE TIME, and they NEVER BURN. It’s always SO crispy and everyone in my family loved them. Do try it!
Lol! I have a strong connection to Greece and Italy so steering away from oil is going to be interesting yet I am excited to experiment! Thank you for your vibrant and dynamic Plant Based Powers! Awesome work

Was hoping for a video from you today, Derek. Thank you for uploading :)
Fresh from Final Cut. :D Happy to provide!
I had pancreatitis so my Dr is taking me off Cooking oil & nuts/seeds that's saturated in oil. I'm here to get ideas cooking without oil.
Midge Barker how are you doing?
Get an air fryer. Crispy food with no oil.
I have some discomfort every time I eat nuts. Now I'm going oil-free and I'm already feeling a difference. Perhaps my pancreas was getting inflamed. I have been cooking with olive oil for the past 4 years :/... so I will continue with my oil-free diet and hope for the best. Greetings
Try soaking the nuts before eating.
use butter, ghee, lard, tallow or suet...
They usually call when you cut potatoes like that “mojo” fries. 👍🏻 great video. I love air fryers too.
Air fryers are SO dope. 😎
I would love it if you did a video creating a basic sauce with different flavor options. How about a sauce recipe book? That would be awesome! Thanks for these great videos. I really enjoy watching the two of you ☺️
I've been opting out of cooking with oil for the last month or so, been using water or vegetable broth. Cashew sauces have been a lifesaver actually, especially for my kids lol. I love your attitude in your videos, great information!

Hello I’m Val from Manitoba, Canada. January. 1/2023 I started a whole foods plant based diet for my health and came across your channel. I love your channel, I get so many recipe ideas. The other day I saw the one where you and your girlfriend made a few different pizzas and I made the cheeseless one you had in that video it was delicious.
Awesome sauce! Thanks for making these videos. I'm a 49 yo Vegan with a thyroid issue and trying to keep the weight off has been a major issue, so I've been trying to go oil free and really reduce the processed foods. Your content really helps!
I agree. Since I stopped using oil (thanks to Hench Herbivore), when I eat something oily now it's REALLY off-putting.
I'm not vegan, but like the video a lot! I'm in!
I notice that when I consume too much oil, it messes with my skin, and it makes me feel like trash, so i started consuming less of it. just like how i stopped consuming meat and dairy :)
❤️

Damn, never knew olive oil had so many calories until today when I looked on the back and searched for this vid. I was hungry when I got home and wanted something quick, so had 4 pitta breads and used 5 table spoons of olive oil. 5 table spoons contained 613 calories and 68g of fat. Wtf... Now I realise that when I used to get junk/fast food it would normally be high in calories, but it's obvious that's because of the amount of oil used.
Great video, thank you for opening my eyes
it doesnt matter the calories still very healthy for ya this man is misinformed olive oil is part of the blue zones Mediterranean diet and there good fats
It has a lot of calories because of the fat. Fat is higher in calories than carbs or protein. That doesn't mean that fat is unhealthy, though.
@@Homebusinessesideas The mediterranean diet success is not what they eat as much as it is what they do not eat! Olive oil is not the reason they are healthier. They don't eat refined flours, pizza, processed meats and so forth. Cutting all of those will make us healthier but not optimal health. It was when I cut oil that I finally got better numbers.
@@aaronhyojinhughes4397 Aaron & Hyojin Hughes I assure you we do eat refined flours, processed meats and pizza... You think they don't eat pizza in Italy?

I was watched one of your q&a's and you said you were taking a break from garlic/onion powder because you thought it was bothering your digestion I think? It seems you use onion/garlic powder often now, did it turn out not to make a difference in your digestion or did you change the types you used?
I've heard another plant based TH-camr mention that it seems like it can make a difference on the brand you use.
Derek one for your #AMM
Nice question Elizabeth. I always use garlic "in natura" its easy to smash one or two and add to the pan.
Doesn't take much onion and garlic to bother the stomach especially on an empty stomach. Add this to the fact that the body doesn't want garlic or onion on its own is a pretty clear sign that we probably shouldn't eat them, unless maybe for some medicinal purposes.
I'm 15 and I've just transitioned to a vegan last week, do you have any advice that could help me with the first stages?
eat variety of whole foods + supplement B12 and vegan D3, you can find them on web stores or amazon
What those two said above... Don't rely on the mock meats and processed vegan foods (although absolutely fine to have occasionally), make sure to eat a lot of whole foods to get the necessary calorie intake that your body needs. Rice and bean meals are a great way to go. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Nice one! Make sure you eat flax seed and walnuts to get your Omega 3 oils :)
Eat fish, eggs, and beef.
@@Airblade90 i do
Thanks for the.vid... I have been vegan for almost 4 years, but only just now looking into reducing / removing oils from my cooking and diet.
Planned on just watching the video for extra info on the subject without leaving a comment. But I was so happy to see that you mentioned the importance of fats/lipids in our diets upfront at the very beginning that I had to comment. I see a lot of people neglecting to mention it. Even if they themselves aren’t reminiscing fats some people can fall into unhealthy cycles of eating waaaay to little fats from heating oil free videos that aren’t informative enough on that aspect of the topic. Props!!
By the way yams or sweet potatoes dont get crispy because the sugars in them leave a wet coat around it and doesn't allow them to get crispy
I've actually found that they do go crispy. The sugar turns into a syrup around the outside and caramelises, thus turning the edges crispy. At least this is my experience.
This was awesome. I’m transitioning into oil free WFPB #saucesislife 🤤
I don't miss oil. I see a big difference in my health.
Great video. I'm the same, don't use at home, but as another commented, it's virtually impossible to avoid in restaurants. I think to get salad, but I have to have "dressing", so u usually get something else since I haven't got in habbit of bringing my own dressing with me. I also try to bring my own homemade plant milk since that's the way I like my coffee, and not everywhere has plant milk. Also store bought plant milk has a lot of oil.
i have been doing this for a while and honestly i have lost soooooooo much weight! Thumbs up!
Thanks for explaining this, I often wondered why people go oil free. My concern is that plant oils have the highest vitamin E content of any food. Especially for people with low appetites it can be hard to get enough vitamin E or even enough calories without some oil.
I definitely struggle to get enough calories, especially on work days...
@Barenity I am going to take a moment to help you out.... use your own words.. "Plant oils are the highest in Vitamin E" does that not mean the oils was extracted from a plant? yes it does. so... Just eat the plant in its whole form. problem solved.
I’m going oil free November to see if it makes a difference in my health
How was it?
@@leventerethelyi8461 nope🙅🏻
plant-based oils with monounsaturated fats are extremely healthy - dietitian speaking.
How did it go?
Much better. I’m barely adding in only a little oil every now and then but feel better without it.
I *tried* to go oil free for a long time I just couldn’t get on board. It wasn’t worth sacrificing the flavor. I’ll do it sometimes but I can’t commit to 100% oil free
I also am not all oil free, but I do try to use it a lot less now. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Greger's new book is "A good diet is by no means an all or nothing proposition, and every little bit helps"
Use lard or tallow or butter.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it. You know, I view a lot of TH-cam channels featuring whole-food plant-based cooking, since I’m so passionate to get this right. I find your channel among the best I’ve found. You have that right combination of a little science and lots of great recipes and cooking techniques. You’re obviously quite bright and committed and I wish you every success. I promise, I will keep watching as much as I can. Thanks!
I haven't intentionally eaten oil for quite some time and have heard from all of the experts; Drs. Esselstyn, McDougall, Ornish, MacGregor, etc., as to the harmfulness of oil. You, however, have put it more clearly and succinctly than all of them (and I respect them all highly). I think the layperson will relate to your explanation very well! Thanks for your videos. Very helpful. I tried your Kichari recipe recently sans oil of course, and we've been making it twice a week and our 6 years old grand nephew loves it! I add fresh tomatoes instead of avocado (which I love) as I'm working on losing weight. Thanks again!
This is perfect to share with everyone I know that is "addicted" to oil! :)
