Every time I mess up it comes back to not cooking my own meals! Finally learned that after way too long and knowing much better. But alas I’ve been happy with my last 5 months of effort. Full tummy while losing weight :)
Amen to keeping it simple! That is the name of my TH-cam channel because it is the way our family of 4 has been able to sustain this way of eating for 14 years. The Instant pot, simple starches, fruits, vegetables, a clean environment- absolutely. I agree it is hard at first, but it really is so simple and so easy once you get used to a new routine. Thank you for all you do to spread this message!
Thank you for confirming this I’m plant based my wife isn’t it’s hard for me to continue on this journey when she doesn’t support my new way of life so tomorrow I’m kickin her to the curb! 🙏
When I stopped looking for all these recipes and started making simple whole food meals, I started loving my meals and decreased my grocery spending. Thank you Dillon 😊 plant basified recipes 😂
I have fallen into all of those traps, several times! My hardest issue is that we are a family of five, I am the only one who care about what I est, and the potatoe chips, crackers, goodies and chocolate is right there in front of my nose, and I cannot resist... and quite often, i feel guilty and eat very restrictively in response to my "failure" for a while, then feel kind of "lacking" in calories and binge eat crap again😮. Thank you for motivating me to start again😅
I get so frustrated with the advice of getting rid of unhealthily stuff because I’m surrounded all the time by trigger foods at home and at work. I get a little frustrated because if this is the only way to deal with temptation is to not have access to crap food then the rest of us who have normal lives are screwed. I am at work for 9 hours a day, I am a teacher and there is food everywhere and I mean everywhere all day that tempts me. And at home I have a kid and he eats nut butters and crackers which trigger me every time I fix his lunch.
Thanks for the good tips, I come from a family of twigs so we never thought about weight loss but when I stopped meat had a hard time feeling full. The recipes you guys make are just so practical and delicious, great for everyday life, not so complicated, you're right just keep the chips, etc out of the house, my blood pressure went way down when I stopped salt and animal products.
Thanks Dillon!!! Stated well and “simply”. So true don’t sabotage yourself! When I moved towards WFPB snacks, well 20 pounds later, I have to go back to basics!
I love, love, love the tip of not trying to recreate your old recipes, great advice! I personally found when I first went vegan I spent a lot of money purchasing crazy one time use items for that reason of recreating. Also it almost made me give up, this of course was not on the sos. I think this is true for SOS as well, keep it simple and play with the idea of recreating once your stable, and then try to have a little switch up from time to time. The easier the recipe, the more common the ingredients, the easier it is to achieve your goals.
@@HornyKoala Also not just mock meat. I'm talking about Xanthan gum, tapioca starch, almond flour ect. All of these things to make complex recipes, it was overwhelming to say the least and not the least bit necessary. Once I just started sticking with minimal meal making it was easier, then I gradually branched out. I'm still not 100% sos, but I definitely apply core fundamentals most of the time. I live with others, and it's not always easy meal making, but I'm not trying to be perfect just better :)
I just had your Italian salad dressing. It was fantastic! I made a big salad with green onions, zucchini, arugula, mixed green lettuce, northern beans and red cabbage.
Thank you!!! I am a firm believer in keeping it simple. This was perfect. You have been such a great help in my plant based journey. Thank you so much.
Lol...this is exactly what me and my wife did..read every labels..it's only when we broke it down to, oatmeal in the morning...2 saleds or soup a day that we had real progress..we still have those some of the time..very rarely.. thank you for making it possible 🙏.
You are right, I need to get the vegan ice cream etc... out of the house! I don't obsess about calorie counts and this and that or perfection at all, but I do find the Daily Dozen helpful information.
You're so funny 😂. Anyway thank you for making it so simple and straightforward. I like it when you said, just went to sleep and never woke up. That is what I pray for all the. God bless you, Dillon and Reebs. More success to your family.
Just had a week travelling in the Balkans (Central Europe). Knew eating would be tough but decided the cultural experience would be worth it & told myself not to overthink things. Could I ? No ! Every meal I viewed in terms of WFPB & felt unhappy. Of course after each meal I felt bodily uncomfortable but I am now really craving broccoli & potatoes and I know I will be straight back on track when I get home.
Hey Dylan! I’am new here with starting plant based! The only thing i bought so far! Walnuts’ chia seeds’ whole grain cereal! I make oatmeal or cereal with a fruit smoothie! I’m having trouble ordering in restaurants! Or dinner! Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing your experience and idea on plant based! I need all the help!
"I'm here to live well and die quickly." Yes! Someone was trying to convince me I was going to die young because of my diet, and my response was I feel so much better now, so I if I die younger, while feeling better along the way I'll take it! And I agree about not dwelling on the details, but I will say things like the daily dozen or gbombs did help me when I first switched over and didn't know what to eat, this helped me to eat enough food. But now I don't even think of it because I'm just naturally eating all those things all the time anyway. No need to check off a list! (Although this HCNC does love to check things off a list😆)
It is so frustrating when people start to argue about these things. We know we are right. But, it’s also very hard for some people because life can be hard. I’m not sure how I’m still doing it 3 years later because mostly in my life I’ve been bad on following through. But I found out 80% compliant is enough for me. Which is what McDougall always said! Most of my food is Instant Pot healthiest food. (And my brother just sent me a Breville for my new place!) Sometimes I eat some higher calorie vegan thing. I don’t have a fit about it. I just mostly don’t keep it in the house. 😊
I wish everything wasn't about weight loss. It would be nice if it was simply about health. About being as healthy as possible. I have an incurable cancer which I've been fighting for 4 years now. I passed my use by date a year ago. I know I'm still here because I eat a healthy plant based diet. It never has to be complicated, unless you want it to be. I love cooking and creating new recipes for myself and so I often complicate things 😁 but that's on me! I just discovered you today and subscribed. Looking forward to trying your savory oatmeal and other recipes. I've been eating savory oatmeal for over a year now but never put lentils in it. It's the best!
❤LOVE this‼️THANK YOU DILLON‼️Especially the chart‼️‼️Took a Screenshot👍🏻 FYI- I’m not struggling with my weight. 5’1.5” 95lbs & I have the personality for the DAILY DOZEN chart. I use it everyday‼️Even though Dr Gregor himself doesn’t use it anymore now that he is so familiar with it! BUT I still APPRECIATED your & Dr T. Colin Campbell’s perspective‼️BTW - My husband eats the SAD diet and I don’t eat his food‼️That works for me👍🏻
I had to come to this way of life through a process of elimination. I had to eliminate a large list of foods (some of those foods are considered "Vegan".)I make most of my foods from scratch. I don't eat out. I use a small amount of processed foods. For me, there is no way back to most of the food from my childhood. Anyway,, thanks for sharing.
I’m going to need new resources as my bicycle riding increases. I will be riding 60 minutes and longer starting next week. Traditional cycling food is terrible. I can take a banana and perhaps an apple but not sure how to feed muscles & keep electrolytes steady while on the bike. Any ideas or books or video???
Cooked sweet potatoes and potatoes travel well and are fine not in the fridge for quite a while. I'd wrap them up individually. The sweet potatoes are so soft they go down fast and easy.
I don't bring chips or ice cream in the house. I am too lazy to go out and buy these things when I have a craving. I don't like nutrition chasing or reading labels. I like eating wfpb because they don't have a long list of ingredients. Heck, they may not even have a label. Keeping this lifestyle simple with your easy and tasty recipes makes it sustainable. Thank you for videos. Keep the rants coming! 😂❤
I’am 55 now! I did keto years ago! I have 29% clogged arteries! ‘ had 2 A/fib! I want start eating healthier! I was eating eggs ‘ salmon for years! I actually just gave up eggs
I just found out I have stage 3 kidney disease, they sent me to eat low carb meals, my dr and Renee dietitian arr S.A.D. people, I told them I want WFPB, they say it is not sustainable, I think they are wrong, I want to reverse my disease, not mask it until it gets worse then it's dialysis. Do you and rebecca have any tips, I am very serious about doing wfpb, regardless what my s.a.d. drs say. Thanks you both. Keep on cooking, I have made many of your meals, yummy 😊
I recommend you discuss this with a plant based doctor. You can request a telehealth consult with a plant-based physician at TrueNorth Health Center. Click here to learn more, www.healthpromoting.com/clinic-services/health-services/coaching-services
As a German I am proud of being able to follow your speed effortlessly 😊 So you are more to me than just a nutrition teacher 😉 Many thanks and kind WFPB greetings from Hamburg
😂 love the ranting. Also, I can be detail obsessed if I want to; that's part of how I enjoy life. 😂 Also, usually I'm scooping batch cooked veg, grains, & legumes out the fridge to nuke because busy living. 😀😎 🥦❤ Hope everybody who needs this finds it. Thanks Dillon👍 🌱
I’ve been a little off the rails with red vines and vegan ice cream since 4th of July. Gotta get right again ❤ (BMI still at 23.0 so not a total nightmare - but the real goal is lowlowlow cholesterol)
“You feel enough shame that you want to try again”😢😅. Ive only just started exploring veganism. Just for health and weight reasons. Will see how it all goes. A week into this and I am feeling good I guess.
As Chef AJ says, "if it's in my house it's in my mouth". I live by this!
Every time I mess up it comes back to not cooking my own meals! Finally learned that after way too long and knowing much better. But alas I’ve been happy with my last 5 months of effort. Full tummy while losing weight :)
That's awesome, keep up the good work!
Why doesn’t this channel have 1 million subscribers?

Thank you for acknowledging and addressing how hard/not hard this whole thing is.
Another fantastic video with good healthy reminders from Dillon of what we should be eating and avoiding.
Eating too low on the calorie density scale? I've fallen in that trap before! Thanks for these great reminders and video, Dillon! 💕
I like to add more veggies and less starch. I just feel better with the extra veggies. Love your recipes!
A very realistic, real world breakdown. Thanks Dillon.
You just keep delivering gold! Thanks for your endless encouragement; it really helps keep me going when I start to flag.

Can you run for President? Your honesty is soooo refreshing!
Thank you Dillon!
Great talk Dillon 💜 You make it easy!
Excellent Plantrant!!! Perfectly timed. I needed this reminder right now😁

Again, great wisdom. Thanks for posting.

So glad it was helpful Susan!
Your right. If it's near will power is harder for good or bad.
I would like to heartily recommend the Calorie Density video mentioned early on if you have questions about a whole food plant based diet. 😊
Lol...this is exactly what me and my wife did..read every labels..it's only when we broke it down to, oatmeal in the morning...2 saleds or soup a day that we had real progress..we still have those some of the time..very rarely.. thank you for making it possible 🙏.
Dang I wish I could the physical cookbooks shipped to Canada. You two are amazing ❤
We are working on a good international shipping option for our cookbooks. Make sure you are on our mailing list to be the first to know!
You are right, I need to get the vegan ice cream etc... out of the house!
I don't obsess about calorie counts and this and that or perfection at all, but I do find the Daily Dozen helpful information.
I love your honesty and simple way. Like the explanation of dying
This is a fantastic and rather simple that absolutely works. As Chef AJ always says if it’s in your house it’s in your mouth.
You're so funny 😂. Anyway thank you for making it so simple and straightforward. I like it when you said, just went to sleep and never woke up. That is what I pray for all the. God bless you, Dillon and Reebs. More success to your family.
I love these talks !
I felt this!!! This rant resonated with me on so many levels. Thank you for a great plant rant! Congratulations on baby number 2🥰
The kettle chip statement….SO relatable.
Yes sadly 😖
Helpful and encouraging. Thank you!

Hi Valerie!
Hi Dillon!

I want to live well and die quickly too! 😂 (Sorry, you made me chuckle, but it's true!)
