It’s such a simple message, yet so many miss it. In under a year after going vegan, I got rid of my super high cholesterol, triglycerides, fatty liver, pre-diabetes, GIRD, high blood pressure, and lost 20 pounds to boot.

Lost 40 pounds with a combination of Dr. Greger's "How Not to Diet" and Dr. McDougall's "Starch Solution".
Whole oat groats with a little flaxseed and mango or banana for breakfast.
Whole starches with vegetables for lunch (no oil, no sugar), only water after lunch for the rest of the day. The fat disappeared pretty fast.

I bought the book, I watched all the videos, I'm losing about 2 pounds per week, after a year I'm down 50 pounds. My troubling cholesterol and other bloods are mostly normal now. And I'm proud that the BROAD study was run here in New Zealand.

Living in Israel it was so easy being vegan. Moving back to the States it's incredible how little people even know about real food! We've spent 50 years letting corporations do the cooking for us.

I have three boys that when I gain physical custody of were overweight. All of them under the age of 13 at the time I gain custody. Now my youngest is 13 and all of my children are at healthy weights. Thanks to a whole food plant-based diet. They get outside and run around far more than they ever have. They don't get tired when riding their bikes like they used to. They can be gone for two hours riding their bikes at the park. They used to come back in 5 minutes exhausted. With a little bit of exercise and a healthy eating plan we have hope for the future of our children.

Anyone who suggests anything other than a whole food plant-based diet for children, Whether they realize it or not, are abusing children.

I love all your content Dr Greger. I relish the breadth and depth of the evidence available that I somehow never knew up until a couple years ago

Condition: ulcerative colitis
Drugs: 35mg pred, 4.8mg mesalazine.
Notes: Removing meat from my diet has helped a lot in terms of digestion, easier and smoother bm as well as feeling better in general.

Feels almost impossible but I'm giving it a try.

QUESTION: Does the weight loss that comes from eating a plant based diet result in a greater amount of muscle being loss than the other diets. If so, would this not mean that you are in fact losing the most weight on a plant based diet HOWEVER that weight would be primarily muscle and your body would attempt to retain as much fat as possible. EI “survival mode”

So I don’t have to give up rice? Other channels shame me for growing up eating rice.

I have a question about the daily dozen app: ist there any video or article where dr. Greger says how to adapt the serving sizes to the body size? I ask because I am a thin 5.2 tall woman, not sure the average minimum is the minimum for me

[mini-wyus]

Hi can I ask you what's your views on Sirt diet ? Would love your insight. X

[jakethesnake]

Do you offer specific dietary advice for individuals as i have questions about my diet specific to my blood test? Do you offer paid consultations?

[umairayub]

Sir i am so much big fan ..you desreve noble prize

[LisaCulton]

I'm already slim - I don't know what this is coming up in my suggested videos.

Ad libitum doesn't work for me. The only way I can make it work is if I also cut grains to the bare minimum. Even doing low fat vegan whole food plant based, I can't lose weight unless I severely limit grains.
