Thank you Chuck for these videos and Dr Barnard for your book on diabetes because you guys changed my life. I have been a vegan since April 27th, 2020. I have lost over 100 pds. Officially on doctor's office scale it is 104. Never thought I would be at this point. I began at 55 yrs old and thought it might be too late for me. I eat beans every day! Off of diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol medications. Thank you and much love. Working on last 40 pds. 🥰

I eat beans daily. Lost 50 lbs in 2 years with zero exercise. I buy dry beans (cheap), overnight soak and pressure cook them. I have selected 17 beans, lentils, pulses, legumes and eat them in rotation. I eat low fat whole food vegan foods only. Beans are nature's miracle.

I eat beans a lot and have lost weight and another excellent podcast episode and I have raised my vegan or plant based IQ watching this channel. Keep up the good work Chuck Carroll and all those who make up the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine. I only eat 100% vegan whole plant foods.

Here in Fargo, ND.... I've been able to find a pound of dried black beans/ pinto beans/ white beans for as low as $1. The cans of beans would be $.59 to $.89 per can. So, for someone who is trying to eat healthy on a budget, buying the dried beans and cooking them from scratch is a remarkable way to get fiber, protein, and health benefits on very little money. I use the cooked beans in salads, in Asian stir-fries, and in homemade veggie burgers.

I even slept so much better changing to a plantbased diet. I just lost 12 Kilos since November 2020 without hunger.

I lost 20 lbs in six weeks with beans and lentils. Lentils seemed to work the best. Also rotated squash, eggplant and greens.

To answer the question, eating beans helped me drop 60 lbs in 4 months, so, yes. Oh and in that same period I gained 8 lbs of muscle according to my smart scale, so I lost almost 70 lbs of fat. Beans fueled the protein for the muscle growth.

It is encouraging to hear that vitamin D testing is expected to increase. I asked my primary physician to test my D after my daughter found that hers was dangerously low and she had to receive some infusions. My Dr said 'No, I never test anyone's D'. I finally found a great new doctor and FIRED her! (For a variety of reasons).

3 years ago I was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism. Since going SOFAS free, Chef AJ's way, last year, August, I was told by my endocrinologist I no longer meet the criteria for sub clinical hypothyroidism. This works!

I returned to my plant based roots because of Dr. Barnard. You are like a prophet for health. Star Trek showed a future of thin people in onesies. Here we are in the future👀 and we're not ready for the onesies.

You can cook your soaked and drained beans in your crock pot. Top them off with water. Throw in half an onion and a celery stick and let them bubble away. Less likely to stick than stovetop if you dont have a pressure cooker

[prayerfulkathy]

I am happy to have found this channel, because unfortunately we do not have such a good source of information here in Germany. I've learned so many new and important things, and Dr. Barnard is so great.
