Great talk...I was having a huge salad as I watched. I love the part where you are not counting calories or checking off boxes of how much of whatever you are eating. Total frees up my mind. Now, my metabolism is not like yours...not too many of us are like you. But I am doing so many things you are doing, I just know I am on the right track. I do identify with you when you say, I don't really feel guilty eating whatever the bad is, but I do not feel well after words. For me, that is truly stops me from making bad choices. I just do not want to wake up feeling crappy from a stupid choice I have made. I am 70...I cherish each morning waking up feeling great and happy. I don't want to waste a morning waking up miserable from a food coma the night before. Thanks for continuing to share all that you are experiencing...it really helps!
I made a great dish yesterday. Sautéed mushrooms and zucchini, threw in a handful of bell pepper. But, instead of water or vegetable stock, I sautéed it all in mushroom stock. Then I added more stock, and a wee bit of arrowroot powder, to give it a gravy consistency. Served over rice. It was really good, and didn’t take much time or work. The peppers and mushrooms were pre sliced, and the zucchini was easy to slice, I made the rice in my rice cooker while I was cooking the rest, so it was fast and easy, and came out really delicious!

Wow I feel the same way! All those needless calories! Now, as an indulgence, I’ll have a few ounces of ice cold kombucha, as a complex tasting beverage. And no regrets!!
Greens. I buy a baby spinach baby kale mix and then pull it out of the fridge twice a day and eat a few hand fulls each time typically while I’m cooking. I hate greens so I eat them as medicine but certainly not because I love salads.
I’m with you in Smoothies, they just give me an additional green meal that isn’t a salad. I tend to only eat them when the weather is warmer. I hate protein powders 🤢
Okay, when you mentioned keeping your snack food "clean" because you'll overeat when you add things like chocolate chips, my head snapped up. This is so me. I am bad about making "healthy" vegan snacks and overeating them because they don't have the typical dessert ingredients like (white flour/sugar/eggs/butter/oil), but they still have calorie-dense ingredients like nut butter, maple syrup, and vegan chocolate. Thanks for that reality check. I appreciate the clarity in your videos!
Really enjoyed your commentary on your diet. It helped me mentally evaluate what I do and why. Also, seeing how you are constantly going off course a bit & constantly righting your ship is such a wonderful example of how life/diet is a "practice" one must keep working at. Thanks for the vid!
Great open and honest discussion. Can relate to so much of what you're saying. The idea of condiments works for me too. Yes any crisps that get through my door are gone in 60 seconds. Like your point about actually liking the no oil food better, that happened to me too and was a surprise. Treats are important but increasingly my treats are looking like what I used to call health food. Nice one.
That's so interesting how you don't eat in the morning because "you're still relatively full." If I eat before bed, even just a snack, I wake up ravenous. I have to stop eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime, which has become challenging. Fascinating how different everyone's body is.
I had to reintegrate more processed foods like pasta or tofu into my diet again, because I lost so much weight in such a short amount of time. Whenever I'm eating wholefoods only, I'm starting to lose weight again. This diet just rocks - health & good looks = starch solution 💪💪
Thank you for keeping it real. I thought it was just me eating more since I work out. I thought you was going to show us what you are today. Thanks for sharing what you eat sometimes every once and a blue moon.
Oh God!!! That made me laugh so hard...especially that chuckle at the end!!!😂😂😂. P S. I’m with you on the dried mangoes - those are my binge downfall 😟
Regarding alcohol....I have been vegan for 5 years now and this lifestyle has changed my life in so many expected and unexpected ways. It seems over the last two years my interest and desire for alcohol, like Dillan mentioned, has simply evaporated . In the past, drinking wine with friends was a weekly event. It was at the point where a bottle of red wine per sitting, maybe even more, was standard. Each week, at some point, while in my mid 40s, I was drunk and hungover. At the same time thought, I continued to eat a diet very similar to Dillans, as a result my mind and body healed and it’s functioning improved dramatically, I felt so great, so well tuned, alert, with consistent feelings of happiness and content, no anxieties about food, constant, stable energy for regular exercise....etc, So much so, that I wasn’t interested in alcohol. When I did and still do have an occasional glass of wine, I really don’t enjoy the experience. The taste and after effects are not enjoyable. Having great health is gift!
You said it perfectly. I think this story is more common than we realize for people that follow the path we have. The benefits of booze just stop being good enough to outweigh the negatives.
My favorite meal at night is 3 ripe avocados which I make guac from with a pinch of salt, pepper, half a squeezed lemon and garlic powder. Then I take two cucumbers and slice them into elongated slices and I dip them into the guac and eat away. Better than chips! Raw, living chips, instead. Keeps me feeling full all night till morning.
I feel like we are so similar lol. Late night sacking chips drinking which I have alcohol in the house but very rarely do I or my wife drink. But how do I get rid of bread! I’ve been getting good at getting rid of vegan cheese (hardest thing to get rid of was cheese) but I did it and same eventually with the vegan cheese but how do I get rid of bread? I eat sourdough bread and make avocado toast or garlic bread with sourdough.
Hello, I'm a new subscriber and now new to starch solution way of eating. I was vegetarian but still managed to gain weight which I now know is because of the things you mentioned. I need a change and am so glad that I found your channel. I really enjoyed listening to you and I know I'll learn a lot to help me on this journey. Thank you.😊
I seem to be able to moderate intake with a little bit of tahini around but nut butters are basically hyperpalatable. Overdosed the other day. Chips and anything fried crunchy and salty is a no-go for me.
Thank you so much for being so honest about binge eating. I struggle with it too especially at night and I try to do the exact same strategies you do to keep it under control 👍🏽
New to your channel, really enjoyed this video. I have digestive issues and I’m a picky eater. I find if I eat before 7pm I don’t have heartburn and sleep so much better than after 7pm. Love your no nonsense approach. 👍🏻
AMEN on cleaning up oil!!! My hubs still eats a SAD diet, and I hate when he brings home leftovers with meat or cheese, and the oil in my sink and on my dishes drives me crazy!!!! Yeah for oil free plant food!
"The mouth feel" of oil - oh I can relate! I don't like avocados for that reason - slimy and oily sensation. I just made a pot of split pea soup - yum...... I believe my body tells me what it wants. The weather will get nice and warm soon and I'll crave more fresh veggies, so I'll honor that. I love hummus, so I'll make that on the weekends. An open bag is an empty bag, so I cannot buy many bags. Common Sense - you speak it every time!!!
I recently cut out oil from my cooking. My weight just dropped so quickly. Dillon, I agree with you that it is nice for not having to clean the greasy pots and pans after. I always thought I had to cook with oil to make the food taste good.
I struggle sometimes with my toddlers rich food. I do buy him nuts/seeds, dried fruit, and make him vegan crackers with oil. I have tried making them without, but he won’t eat them & requests goldfish crackers (we started SAD when he was born so I consider the crackers a success if the only non-WFPB is oil). Oh and I stock up on larabars when I can get them 80 cents a bar or less. I also make him peanut butter bars with Uncle Sam Cereal and maple syrup. And balls made of dates & oats. It’s so hard to pack enough food for us when we are gone 6+ hours. He needs some shelf stable, calorie dense foods. I obviously do not and even if I don’t pack enough for myself, I will survive until we get home, but I can’t have my toddler go hungry on a regular basis (or ever). I also live with my husband who eats SAD, but he happily has given up meat in the home for me, and will only buy junk food I don’t like so I’m not tempted. If I were single or had a WFPB partner, my kitchen would look much different, and much more easy for me to manage. There are things I can change in my environment that I should change though. One being oats because I can easily make it into oat flour and make a “healthy” mug cake (I always have date or prune paste I made in the fridge for my son). If I just got whole oat groats and just the right amounts of quick oats for my son to make his snacks, I wouldn’t eat them. Sorry for rambling to whoever is reading this, haha. But this video is a great reminder. One big win recently is that I did a Mary’s mini challenge (it’s on my channel) and my husband is interested in doing it with me next! Yay!
You're not rambling, it's great stuff. Yes I think it is very important that toddlers and growing kids eat lots of calorie dense food. Doesn't have to be junk food of course, but lots of calorie dense food available. But at the end of the day kids can handle vegan junk food a lot better than a fully grown adult can. So be happy that you are doing a great job as a mom. Great of your husband to make some compromises! -Dillon
I'm very similar to you bro! If I buy a bag of chips, it's gone with 12 hours. I need to do a SOS free for a month. Thanks man! 🙏🏼🌱💪🏼 I have noticed whole sweet potatoes and russet potatoes keep me from bing eating.
Just finding out about your channel and this video was amazing! I already shared it to have you explain to my friends how I eat in the best way possible. Thank you!
crunchy all natural peanut butter is my criptonite ....i will go in to blackout mode and wonder where half the jar went lol so i cant keep it around i love coco powder on frozen cherries with a dash of cinnamon
Loved this!!! Would LOVE a video making oil free basics WITHOUT an instapot. A variety of potatoes, veggies etc. I’m especially struggling with baking my potatoes oil free.
Thank you for your honesty about binging. I, too, have that issue at night. It's also what you talked about in the first video I saw of yours and it keeps me coming back. I was at the low end of being compliant and just couldn't get myself right again. You have made it possible for me to make the changes I need to. So, thank you for being you!!!! P.S. I'm not a breakfast eater either, so thanks for letting it be okay not to.
It’s pretty easy to take oil out of cooking, eating out or otherwise not so easy. I am a new vegan and the veggie grounds, cheese slices and such have made it much easier to switch our way of eating. Now we are going to make a push to less processed.
i really enjoyed this video. Keeping it simple would be my nr1 rule for a lifestyle change as well. I do mainly eat veggies/fruits/starches and i love it. There is still so much variety in those 3 food Groups.
It's amazing to me that all movie theaters do not offer air popped popcorn as an option. With so many people understanding whole food vs junk food, I think it's a missed opportunity for them! I enjoy your honesty, keeping it real.
Food combining can be extremely important for people with compromised health issues because the body system is not working right, but if you're healthy, the body saves up co-factors & uses them to digest as needed. A healthy body self regulates without conscious input.
I listen to this and it's listening to how I act with some foods. The oak cluster thing yep I'd be eating all them after I just baked them. I have never been the person who has one or two cookies puts it away and not have any more until 2-3 days later. Nope they're always on my mind if they're in the house. Buying junk food of any sort I cannot do that. Sitting within the day and eating the whole bag of chips yes it's me. So many things that you've described about yourself are mirrored in me. During the summer I did try the no oil diet. I didn't really miss it but somehow it crept back into my cooking. The new year is coming and I do want to make the ultimate adjustment in my diet to be oil-free. The supplements you take B12 I take vitamin d as I'm in Connecticut. It all depends how much your subscription is maybe I'll join. Unfortunately because of covid I'm still unemployed.
When I make sure to drink enough water throughout the day and also to eat my veggies like in salads and smoothies I get waaay less cravings for all the vegan junk food and don’t binge snack after dinner. Probably cuz I’m getting all my nutrients and stuff. You could try that. Maybe it’ll help with your binge eating
Hahahahaha we are all so alike us Vegans.🥰 I too have a sweet tooth but I-saw great results when I cut the fat and oil. Sugar is a killer because I also have a sweet tooth and I cannot have it in the house. I love dried fruit but only in small quantities. I do love good coffee. It is a constant checking in with myself and listening to what my body wants and needs. I live in Montreal Canada and here the winters are dark and cold so it can be really challenging at times. I am also an evening binge r try drying apple rings. I think it may be better then mango. Really love to have my treats in the evening...just the way it is for me. Sometimes I make myself a decaf coffee with soya milk. My go to treat will be sweet over fat.I-take B12 and Spirulina which I definitely need . Thanks for posting. 👍🙏❤️🕊🇨🇦
Thank you Dillon another great video,you ROCK you explained very well eased my mind about a lot of the information that's out there.would love to see another cooking video with you & your beautiful wife.
That was a great video ... I’m just getting into this whole food stuff and i have to say as far as you tubers ... you are the one I am connecting with the most .... by the way I’m still planning on having some fish ... probably during grilling season when everyone else is eating a lot of meat ... what are you thoughts on a little fish added to the diet you are promoting?
I’m vegan so I recommend no animal products. But most plant-based doctors do acknowledge that you CAN maintain your health with very minimal intake of animal products such as fish, 0-3 servings per week of just 3-4 ounces, very small portions. Only you can decide how you want to transition to a better diet, you’re welcome here regardless.
Can you do a video of your bulking for your weight gain and weight lifting food. What your eating and how much you ate. I'm at 155 and I don't want to loose anymore weight.
You are an amateur binger Dillon 😜 I used to eat chips by the million as a tiny snack between snacks ha ! In fact my life WAS food & not much else. But NOT any more. Now I control my food & I thank YOU for all your honesty & advice. It has helped me SO much. Life is great now that I am in control (98% anyway 😜)
Oh wow, Dillon. You keep the “bad” food off just like me keeping my son eating healthy when he was little. I simply won’t bring candies, cookies or chips home since my son’s principle is if it’s at home then he can eat it. I don’t like pill supplements. As for crunchy & crispy stuff i love to make multigrain/seeds crackers that consist of ground flax seeds, quinoa, chia, nuts/ pumpkin or sunflower seeds & water as binder seasoned with garlic powder + herb of choice. 1 recipe makes lots and it can last me a week. Freeze dried veggies also make awesome crunchy snacks to binge on. For condiments i use kombu + 10% salt water solution. This is my fish sauce replacement and i let it ferment for a whole week before using it. It smells & taste just like fish sauce except much less salty. If you like miso kind of taste, it’s better to make your own and control the salt just enough to keep the bad bacteria away. I love your content and your personality. When i quit alcohol 20 yrs ago, i also quit smoking. Then when i was diagnosed w/ tongue cancer & had to have it removed, i quit meat, fish & poultry. When i heard dr Greger said I don’t need dairy for calcium, i was so happy that i threw out all my whey protein powder & yogurt. Now i make my own coconut or cashew yogurt w/ vegan cultures, vegan kimchi & even soy sauce just to be sure of its ingredients. The funny thing is all these after effects of my cancer & my paranoia turn into a money making ventures. Keep up the good work & keep inspiring us to eat better & don’t change your personality for anyone. You’re great the way you are.
Thank you for the kind words Ima. And thank you for sharing these details. Great to hear things have improved so dramatically. And yes I’m totally with you on the money making opportunities!
Great video with a lot of important info! I agree with you on flaxseed. The only way I can eat it is in oatmeal...you don't even know it's there when it cooks in.
Had a vegan pizza last week. The flavor was great but I agree, I felt kinda meh afterwards. The vegan fake substitutes aren't really all that. Speaking of vegan cheese, have you tried making some with a bit of stinky fermented tofu? Heard that's the missing ingredient to make vegan cheese cross the flavor mark to legit cheese. Still haven't tried it yet but I'm curious. Usually just use potato and carrot with some nutritional yeast. Gonna drop some fermented tofu in my next batch.
I’m new, about 3 weeks in and haven’t lost that much weight. I only want to lose about 10 pounds and feel better. I always feel like I’m eating too much. Lately, I’m craving oatmeal for breakfast and potatoes and veggies for lunch and oatmeal for dinner. Very satisfying, but is that stopping faster weight loss?
Well Your World ,I watched the video you recommended. I realized I had seen it before but not really understood: I get it now. I’m going to back off oatmeal in the morning and have potatoes and veggies for lunch and dinner. Oatmeal seems to be a trigger food for me, I just love it! I’ll try the intermittent fasting and wait till lunch. Thank you
I have FINALLY cut out ALL oils at home. And I am noticing how much better I feel. Of course dining out it’s pretty much unavoidable... but I eat out pretty infrequent anymore... so that is a good thing. Still I have got to cut out dried fruits (aka oat clusters) if I ever want to lose this last 10 pounds!!! 🙄
SUPER helpful video. The voice of reason. I’m glad I’m not the only one who smuggles food into the movies...yeah I eat popcorn out of a purse...so what? 😂
Dillon, I don't eat protein powder. I know you need something after your workout for your muscles. What do you drink after your workout besides water? Thx
Combining a little fat in your veggies just means sprinkling on 2 t. of flax, chia or those pine nuts on top. If not that how about a skinny slice of avocado? Thats all it is, don't think its some major production, it's not.
This thumbnail made me laugh even more than the banana one! The oily slime on cookware makes you think about what its like on your insides. I'm oil and sugar free. I do use some iodized salt though. No salt added canned food when possible.
Hmm 🤔 I m kinda conflicted cuz I am tryna lose weight and I like drinking smoothies. I really like the spinach/ kale base with n orange, flax, chia and the spirulina. I like them cause I feel better eating something light in the morning and a lil sweet. And for me its a good way to substitute jiuces. So like should I stop having them at all??? 😒😒 The thought actually makes me sad
Lol, coincidently, I just found the dried mangoes yesterday at Costco without watching this video. They're SO good, and I'm eating some right now. Regarding b12, have you ever noticed that when you eat a lot of nutritional yeast, you don't need a supplement, or that it goes up, or that b12 pills just don't make a difference?
I do not use fortified nutritional yeast and supplement with B12 capsules. I recently made a video on B12 that you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/-DihEUOda1Q/w-d-xo.html
Thank you. You make me feel normal. I just need to cut out more bad foods. Add a few better ones. Allergic to corn. Favorite veg ever. So feel you on the movie popcorn. But once I saw it as poison To my body it’s pretty easy to avoid. When I go out to eat (restaurant or friends) I eat first. I have sat through many dinners where everyone but me was feeling awkward because I wasn’t eating. Have to go out to eat in a few days with my husbands boss. The restaurant they chose has no options for me. I don’t care if they’re uncomfortable I will not eat foods that make me feel bad. Not for anyone
You should consider talking to the chef/manager ahead of time. It is likely they would be willing to prepare something in line with your current diet! I went to a restaurant recently and they were incredibly accommodating! Plus, everyone else at the table was a little envious of the special dish they had made (:
@@felicialeanna8186 Friends took me and my husband out to dinner recently. They choose a seafood restaurant. On a busy Saturday night, the chef was able to make us a pasta dish with lots of veggies, garlic and very little oil. He just had to combine different elements of several menu dishes. Eating oil usually makes me sick to my stomach but this had such a small amount that I felt okay.
Great talk...I was having a huge salad as I watched. I love the part where you are not counting calories or checking off boxes of how much of whatever you are eating. Total frees up my mind.

Hi! What dressing are you using for your salad? I struggle w the oil free dressings! Thanks❤
Sweet Pepper I am using some dressing from The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show. Check out her channel and website
I made a great dish yesterday.
Sautéed mushrooms and zucchini, threw in a handful of bell pepper.
But, instead of water or vegetable stock, I sautéed it all in mushroom stock.
Then I added more stock, and a wee bit of arrowroot powder, to give it a gravy consistency.

I also live with my husband who eats SAD, but he happily has given up meat in the home for me, and will only buy junk food I don’t like so I’m not tempted.
If I were single or had a WFPB partner, my kitchen would look much different, and much more easy for me to manage.
There are things I can change in my environment that I should change though. One being oats because I can easily make it into oat flour and make a “healthy” mug cake (I always have date or prune paste I made in the fridge for my son). If I just got whole oat groats and just the right amounts of quick oats for my son to make his snacks, I wouldn’t eat them.
Sorry for rambling to whoever is reading this, haha. But this video is a great reminder.
One big win recently is that I did a Mary’s mini challenge (it’s on my channel) and my husband is interested in doing it with me next! Yay!
You're not rambling, it's great stuff. Yes I think it is very important that toddlers and growing kids eat lots of calorie dense food. Doesn't have to be junk food of course, but lots of calorie dense food available. But at the end of the day kids can handle vegan junk food a lot better than a fully grown adult can. So be happy that you are doing a great job as a mom. Great of your husband to make some compromises! -Dillon
I'm very similar to you bro! If I buy a bag of chips, it's gone with 12 hours. I need to do a SOS free for a month. Thanks man! 🙏🏼🌱💪🏼 I have noticed whole sweet potatoes and russet potatoes keep me from bing eating.
Thank you Johnny!
Johnny Hoffman 12 hours!! You a rock. I’d eat them in a minute.
Ditto on the oily mess!! Absolutely do not miss thaaat!!! 👍🏼❤️🌱
Amen! Thank you!
Word!
Thank you... it is just that easy to say.. easy to listen to, and good presentation
Just finding out about your channel and this video was amazing! I already shared it to have you explain to my friends how I eat in the best way possible. Thank you!
So true about oil. I am the same way. Oil starts coming out of my throat the very next day
crunchy all natural peanut butter is my criptonite ....i will go in to blackout mode and wonder where half the jar went lol
so i cant keep it around
i love coco powder on frozen cherries with a dash of cinnamon
Loved this!!! Would LOVE a video making oil free basics WITHOUT an instapot. A variety of potatoes, veggies etc. I’m especially struggling with baking my potatoes oil free.
amen to getting oil residue, cooking grease, meat mess out of the kitchen is a big plus
Thank you Dillon! Simple explanations, easy to follow ideas... (Claire Dorsey)
Hi Claire! Thank you!
Thank you for your honesty about binging. I, too, have that issue at night. It's also what you talked about in the first video I saw of yours and it keeps me coming back. I was at the low end of being compliant and just couldn't get myself right again. You have made it possible for me to make the changes I need to. So, thank you for being you!!!! P.S. I'm not a breakfast eater either, so thanks for letting it be okay not to.
Hi Gail, glad you keep coming back!
It’s pretty easy to take oil out of cooking, eating out or otherwise not so easy. I am a new vegan and the veggie grounds, cheese slices and such have made it much easier to switch our way of eating. Now we are going to make a push to less processed.
Thanks for the great food group tips
Thanks Alicia!
Chips me too!! I have the same addiction.
Thanks for your take on your daily routine 😊
"Why am I still alive???" LOL! Great video!
Ha ha seriously though! 😆Thank you Jeanne!
I like these videos best. The weekly live show is hard to get through sometimes
i really enjoyed this video. Keeping it simple would be my nr1 rule for a lifestyle change as well. I do mainly eat veggies/fruits/starches and i love it. There is still so much variety in those 3 food Groups.
Hi Diandra! Thank you!
@@WellYourWorld uhh and by the way, best thumbnail yet😂
Best video so far imo. The laugh after public figure sold me. Good show bud
Haha thank you I appreciate it!
It's amazing to me that all movie theaters do not offer air popped popcorn as an option. With so many people understanding whole food vs junk food, I think it's a missed opportunity for them! I enjoy your honesty, keeping it real.
Thank you Janice!
Where do you get your Amla powder ? Thanks for all your info and recipes.
I LOVE THIS... To many rules drive me crazy.. Just eat from "3" food groups.
STARCH* FRUIT *VEG.
( no nuts for me)
Exactly! Thanks Sheri!
Same here
Are you getting enough essential omega 6 and omega 3's?
ClickToPreview yes very easily Vegan What I Ate Today for NUTRIENTS! th-cam.com/video/gMWhBrJhmYE/w-d-xo.html
Food combining can be extremely important for people with compromised health issues because the body system is not working right, but if you're healthy, the body saves up co-factors & uses them to digest as needed. A healthy body self regulates without conscious input.
Thank you for this video. So relatable! You made me feel so - relieved - I guess is the word that works best!
"...only when I steal candy out of the bulk bins at the store while I'm grocery shopping..." 😂😂😂
I’m so baaayyyyydd
@@WellYourWorld Better quit that now that you're a public figure and all. 😘 LOL
I listen to this and it's listening to how I act with some foods. The oak cluster thing yep I'd be eating all them after I just baked them. I have never been the person who has one or two cookies puts it away and not have any more until 2-3 days later. Nope they're always on my mind if they're in the house. Buying junk food of any sort I cannot do that. Sitting within the day and eating the whole bag of chips yes it's me. So many things that you've described about yourself are mirrored in me. During the summer I did try the no oil diet. I didn't really miss it but somehow it crept back into my cooking. The new year is coming and I do want to make the ultimate adjustment in my diet to be oil-free. The supplements you take B12 I take vitamin d as I'm in Connecticut. It all depends how much your subscription is maybe I'll join. Unfortunately because of covid I'm still unemployed.
When I make sure to drink enough water throughout the day and also to eat my veggies like in salads and smoothies I get waaay less cravings for all the vegan junk food and don’t binge snack after dinner. Probably cuz I’m getting all my nutrients and stuff. You could try that. Maybe it’ll help with your binge eating
Hahahahaha we are all so alike us Vegans.🥰 I too have a sweet tooth but I-saw great results when I cut the fat and oil. Sugar is a killer because I also have a sweet tooth and I cannot have it in the house. I love dried fruit but only in small quantities. I do love good coffee. It is a constant checking in with myself and listening to what my body wants and needs. I live in Montreal Canada and here the winters are dark and cold so it can be really challenging at times. I am also an evening binge r try drying apple rings. I think it may be better then mango. Really love to have my treats in the evening...just the way it is for me. Sometimes I make myself a decaf coffee with soya milk. My go to treat will be sweet over fat.I-take B12 and Spirulina which I definitely need . Thanks for posting. 👍🙏❤️🕊🇨🇦
Thank you Gail, great comment!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. 🌱
Thank you Dillon another great video,you ROCK you explained very well eased my mind about a lot of the information that's out there.would love to see another cooking video with you & your beautiful wife.
Thank you for the support!
Great video! Thanks!!!!
I needed to hear this. Thanks Dillon.
Thank you!
What I have found to be very satisfying at nite, is a 1/4 of a very ripe papaya.
Awesome video!
That was a great video ... I’m just getting into this whole food stuff and i have to say as far as you tubers ... you are the one I am connecting with the most .... by the way I’m still planning on having some fish ... probably during grilling season when everyone else is eating a lot of meat ... what are you thoughts on a little fish added to the diet you are promoting?
I’m vegan so I recommend no animal products. But most plant-based doctors do acknowledge that you CAN maintain your health with very minimal intake of animal products such as fish, 0-3 servings per week of just 3-4 ounces, very small portions. Only you can decide how you want to transition to a better diet, you’re welcome here regardless.
Can you do a video of your bulking for your weight gain and weight lifting food. What your eating and how much you ate. I'm at 155 and I don't want to loose anymore weight.
I so needed this, thank you!
Love this video. Super inspiring!
I like cocoa in my overnight oats
You are an amateur binger Dillon 😜 I used to eat chips by the million as a tiny snack between snacks ha ! In fact my life WAS food & not much else. But NOT any more. Now I control my food & I thank YOU for all your honesty & advice. It has helped me SO much. Life is great now that I am in control (98% anyway 😜)
And I’ll bet you inspire others as well! Thank you
'I also do like dried fruit' sotto voce. You make me laugh out loud every time 😄 and learning embeds with laughter. Well done!
Aw thank you!
Oh wow, Dillon. You keep the “bad” food off just like me keeping my son eating healthy when he was little. I simply won’t bring candies, cookies or chips home since my son’s principle is if it’s at home then he can eat it. I don’t like pill supplements. As for crunchy & crispy stuff i love to make multigrain/seeds crackers that consist of ground flax seeds, quinoa, chia, nuts/ pumpkin or sunflower seeds & water as binder seasoned with garlic powder + herb of choice. 1 recipe makes lots and it can last me a week. Freeze dried veggies also make awesome crunchy snacks to binge on. For condiments i use kombu + 10% salt water solution. This is my fish sauce replacement and i let it ferment for a whole week before using it. It smells & taste just like fish sauce except much less salty. If you like miso kind of taste, it’s better to make your own and control the salt just enough to keep the bad bacteria away. I love your content and your personality. When i quit alcohol 20 yrs ago, i also quit smoking. Then when i was diagnosed w/ tongue cancer & had to have it removed, i quit meat, fish & poultry. When i heard dr Greger said I don’t need dairy for calcium, i was so happy that i threw out all my whey protein powder & yogurt. Now i make my own coconut or cashew yogurt w/ vegan cultures, vegan kimchi & even soy sauce just to be sure of its ingredients. The funny thing is all these after effects of my cancer & my paranoia turn into a money making ventures. Keep up the good work & keep inspiring us to eat better & don’t change your personality for anyone. You’re great the way you are.
Thank you for the kind words Ima. And thank you for sharing these details. Great to hear things have improved so dramatically. And yes I’m totally with you on the money making opportunities!
I love dried mango too. I get an organic with no added sugar from Costco. Curbes sweat attack nicely when options would be far worse.
Would you please do a mukbang? Cook& eat& storytime your favorites?
Great video with a lot of important info! I agree with you on flaxseed. The only way I can eat it is in oatmeal...you don't even know it's there when it cooks in.
Thank you Rob! Yes I like doing flax in oatmeal as well.
Dillon, do you put any kind of seasoning on your popcorn? I've just been eating it plain because I haven't found one. Thanks
Spray with a little pickle juice and nutritional yeast so good
Had a vegan pizza last week. The flavor was great but I agree, I felt kinda meh afterwards. The vegan fake substitutes aren't really all that. Speaking of vegan cheese, have you tried making some with a bit of stinky fermented tofu? Heard that's the missing ingredient to make vegan cheese cross the flavor mark to legit cheese. Still haven't tried it yet but I'm curious. Usually just use potato and carrot with some nutritional yeast. Gonna drop some fermented tofu in my next batch.
am 99% strict vegan...occasionally eat Daiya....but my portion size is off the charts.slow wt loss but my body has really changed...any thoughts
THANKS ..will do@Peter Rabitt
So far I’m O free. S & S, uffff... coffee (uff, I’m Cuban and we drink espresso) & alcohol... i got a lot of things to still work on..
what do you put on your white bread?
I’m new, about 3 weeks in and haven’t lost that much weight. I only want to lose about 10 pounds and feel better. I always feel like I’m eating too much. Lately, I’m craving oatmeal for breakfast and potatoes and veggies for lunch and oatmeal for dinner. Very satisfying, but is that stopping
faster weight loss?
It’s possible. This video might help: Unlimited eating for WEIGHT LOSS on a Whole Plant Food Diet? th-cam.com/video/7MEF8t-0NaE/w-d-xo.html
Well Your World ,I watched the video you recommended. I realized I had seen it before but not really understood: I get it now. I’m going to back off oatmeal in the morning and have potatoes and veggies for lunch and dinner. Oatmeal seems to be a trigger food for me, I just love it! I’ll try the intermittent fasting and wait till lunch. Thank you
Thanks for sharing, Dillon! Very informative.
Glad you liked it Ginan, thank you!
I have FINALLY cut out ALL oils at home. And I am noticing how much better I feel. Of course dining out it’s pretty much unavoidable... but I eat out pretty infrequent anymore... so that is a good thing. Still I have got to cut out dried fruits (aka oat clusters) if I ever want to lose this last 10 pounds!!! 🙄
Keep it up!
SUPER helpful video. The voice of reason. I’m glad I’m not the only one who smuggles food into the movies...yeah I eat popcorn out of a purse...so what? 😂
Your support will encourage me to go purse shopping to aid the routine 😆
What is Omla powder?
Dillon, I don't eat protein powder. I know you need something after your workout for your muscles. What do you drink after your workout besides water? Thx
Fooooood lots of foood
2 minutes in and I like this guy...
You have taught me more than anyone out there! Thanks!
Thank you Renae!
Combining a little fat in your veggies just means sprinkling on 2 t. of flax, chia or those pine nuts on top. If not that how about a skinny slice of avocado? Thats all it is, don't think its some major production, it's not.
This thumbnail made me laugh even more than the banana one! The oily slime on cookware makes you think about what its like on your insides. I'm oil and sugar free. I do use some iodized salt though. No salt added canned food when possible.
This video is awesome. Thank you for being real.
What are the healthiest vegan cheeses?
I have the same problem with chips...
Are the fruit in the smoothie make it calorie dense?
Many thanks Dillion! Keeping it simple as always, I want to ask you though about seaweeds.. Do you ever eat them? Thoughts about Iodine?
Great video !!
Hmm 🤔 I m kinda conflicted cuz I am tryna lose weight and I like drinking smoothies. I really like the spinach/ kale base with n orange, flax, chia and the spirulina. I like them cause I feel better eating something light in the morning and a lil sweet. And for me its a good way to substitute jiuces. So like should I stop having them at all??? 😒😒 The thought actually makes me sad
Lol, coincidently, I just found the dried mangoes yesterday at Costco without watching this video. They're SO good, and I'm eating some right now. Regarding b12, have you ever noticed that when you eat a lot of nutritional yeast, you don't need a supplement, or that it goes up, or that b12 pills just don't make a difference?
I do not use fortified nutritional yeast and supplement with B12 capsules. I recently made a video on B12 that you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/-DihEUOda1Q/w-d-xo.html
Thank you. You make me feel normal. I just need to cut out more bad foods. Add a few better ones. Allergic to corn. Favorite veg ever. So feel you on the movie popcorn. But once I saw it as poison To my body it’s pretty easy to avoid. When I go out to eat (restaurant or friends) I eat first. I have sat through many dinners where everyone but me was feeling awkward because I wasn’t eating. Have to go out to eat in a few days with my husbands boss. The restaurant they chose has no options for me. I don’t care if they’re uncomfortable I will not eat foods that make me feel bad. Not for anyone
I love it and I’m totally with you! They’ll just have to learn to not get squirmy. xo
You should consider talking to the chef/manager ahead of time. It is likely they would be willing to prepare something in line with your current diet! I went to a restaurant recently and they were incredibly accommodating! Plus, everyone else at the table was a little envious of the special dish they had made (:
@@felicialeanna8186 Friends took me and my husband out to dinner recently. They choose a seafood restaurant. On a busy Saturday night, the chef was able to make us a pasta dish with lots of veggies, garlic and very little oil. He just had to combine different elements of several menu dishes. Eating oil usually makes me sick to my stomach but this had such a small amount that I felt okay.
