Today is day 2 plant based.  Pray for me everyone.

Plant-based "diet" is NOT a "diet". This is a LIFESTYLE, what I chose 32 years ago. It was one of the best decisions of my life.

I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar).  I went whole food plant based no sugar oil or salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned.  I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it.   I no longer use a sleep apnea machine.   Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flour-less bread, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples.  Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor.  I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.

Another interesting thing I found after being on a plant-based diet for a few months is that I would go into a grocery store and make a quick zip through aisles to the produce section, muttering along the way, 'not food, not food, not food' - until I came finally to the organic vegetable aisle! 😂

Stick with it everyone! It's worth it

I switched to vegan eating 12 years ago, and went all in in one day, with some adjustments in the months who followed the decision. For me it was easy, I didn't missed meat. (It was easy because the way I felt after only few weeks of eating that way was so impressive, I was shocked! I felt like all the anxiety I carried in me for years was gone, and I was left with so much joy!).
However, it took me then some time to completely abandon the grip certain confort/family food had on me (including pizza and cheese. I am Italian). What was also difficul was to maintain this way of eating alone, since there were not support or right informations around me at that time, and my family ridiculed me (Internet was just at its beginning, I wasn't aware of the WFPB doctors and scientific evidences, except for the China Study, and certain healthy literature like Ehret's Diet without mucus). Luckily the evidences in my body were enough for me to know that I was in the right track.
Now the informations and scientific evidences are available to us all, and there are doctors and dietitians like this lovely woman, who are explaining how and why is good to eat a whole food plant based diet. This is helping a lot!  
For what it count, I never regretted making that choice, my life changed drastically that day (improved in so many significant ways!).
Blessings to you all on this path.

My husband and I started our plant based eating today. We are doing this together and have been bringing down our meat consumption over the last year and today is day 1 for us.  Glad to have found this.

I think it’s very important to show people step-by-step, meal by meal how easy it is! Most people don’t realize that the majority of their diet is probably already accidentally Plantbased. 🌱💞

I started March 1 2025.. so far im loving it

Thank you so much!  I am going to start getting structure in my life and one of these is healthy eating.
 At 65 years old I have decided that I can’t make anymore excuses!!!!❤

Don't forget to supplement b12 and flax seed

I filled several times on a plant-based diet. The challenge for me was cooking for my husband and myself he’s not plant-based so I found myself giving in but I’ve never eaten red meat or pork so that wasn’t a challenge but I was given to have us, a piece of chicken with the rice and vegetables that I made for him. But now I’m sorting back and what I’m doing is just having a Protein once a week for the next four weeks and then I will continue to eliminate it until I’m totally eating a full plant-based diet. I’m determined to make it this time. Thanks for the video.

Marine Iraq veteran 1 month in no meat preparing for ultramarathon race honestly feel much better than I did when I was eating meat

Dr. Marbas is a living example of the benefits of a WFPB diet. She doesn't seem to age.  One would never guess that she is the mother of adult children.

8 months of my plant based/Whole Foods diets ! Loving the journey so far

I started a plant base vegan diet 2 weeks ago. I had a chronic back pain! I got an x ray, did blood works, and no doctor could have told me what was wrong. Within 3 days of starting , I was relieved of my back pain. Unbelievable you would say! Try it, what's there to lose other than a toxic inside!

I’m really grateful you made this video thank you as we’ve just tried a week of vegan plant based eating. We’re both in our 70’s and want to live healthier after having breast cancer and my husband in heart failure and on 13 tablets every morning. I’m struggling though as seem to be contradicting advice from doctors on extra virgin olive oils about helping to clean arteries. My own granddaughter is a doctor and family seem to not be excited like us to try switching to this healthier lifestyle. Will continue with your videos for inspiration.

22 sets of twins tried both vegan and meat diets.  Researchers at Stanford University studied the twins' cardiovascular health.  After eight weeks following their respective diets, the twin siblings who ate a vegan diet had lost more weight, reduced their LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and experienced lower insulin levels, according to the study's findings.  "The findings from this trial suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared with a healthy omnivorous diet," the study's authors wrote.  The study was published Nov. 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open.

I would start by prepping all my groceries, chopping them and storing them in containers in the fridge.  This is a life-saver when I'm busy and don't want to do a lot of meal prep during the week.  Reach in the fridge, pick your containers, steam them or stir-fry, or even eat them raw.  Just be sure to make them really colorful and add those herbs and spices!  This way of eating is not a deprivation diet--you learn how to make all kinds of wonderful dishes and since it's veg, fruits, grains, nuts and seeds, you really CAN eat as much as you want.  I've never been hungry on WFPB. I lost 35 lbs and actually enjoyed it, unlike every other diet I have been on in my life.

The clarity here is off the charts!
