Whole-Foods, Plant-Based Diet Beginner's Guide

There are many arguments about which diet is best for you.

Regardless, all camps agree that diets emphasizing fresh, whole ingredients and minimizing processed foods are superior for overall health.

The whole-foods, plant-based diet does just that, while also limiting or avoiding animal products.

So in this video, I'm taking a closer look at what it is and how you do it.

Have been on plant based diet for over a month. Can already testify it is really beneficial to your health!

Oh my God! I didn't see this video coming! I also follow a whole food plant-based lifestyle. I never thought some nutrition facts channel I decided to follow would promote this way of eating. Earned my respect!

The whole-foods, plant-based diet rocks by cutting out processed stuff and keeping animal products in check. Go green and feel amazing! 💚🥦 #HealthyEating #PlantBasedBeginner

Good talk. "Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground. The people will gradually develop up to the condition of this natural food." ~ Baha'i Faith

Better late than never from your channel! Thanks for highlighting this.

"*Slightly* better choice for the planet?" Meat, dairy and egg production cause more greenhouse gasses than all of transportation combined! That is why the expert panel assigned by the UN urged mankind to switch to a plant based diet ASAP. You even documented the huge advantage of vegan diets to the environment! You don't have to choose between avoiding air transportation and eating a vegan diet. Otherwise, good video!

Minus the save the planet rhetoric, there was some good advise here. Thanks

Hello, you could said instead of not flying anymore that we as humans should stop with things we don’t need. That has a way bigger impact.

I thought Keto was hardcore... this is extreme but I will have a go as its the smart thing to do 😊

[HTlogistics]

Pretty much everything I love and enjoy I can't have on this diet lol 😂😂 😂😂 but if it means living longer why not

[riri]

Good advice but, I plan on still flying..😂

Is it possible that the health benefits derived from the plant based diets are mainly from eliminating processed and low quality foods? Especially given how many people in the West consume these foods and the "epidemic" of metabolic syndrome?

Is olive oil considered a processed oil?

[tmc-bheo]

I'm with you on whole foods. I need to disagree on grains though. I went this route a couple of years ago and ended up fatter than ever. IF and a moderate keto-based diet have been particularly effective for me both physically and mentally--no more mood swings, down almost 50 lbs. in 6 months, and I was able to come off of my blood pressure meds.

Are Beans/Tomatoes in a can/jar acceptable? What about frozen vegetables or oil free oatmilk from a package?

[ElParacletoPodcast]

It’s simple logic, look how strong a horse is, just by eating grass.

[ashleyalvi]

Animal products are higher in calories? Rly? 100g of meat is 100kcal, 100g of grains or legumes is ~370kcal.

[donnamcgarry]

A whole food plant based diet is just that, plants! No animal products, otherwise it's just a whole food diet
