Thanks for the video, Lisa! You literally saved my life! (Need to consume higher protein to live through my chemo treatment.) What a surprise, milk is actually good, just as is peanut butter and the rest of the foods I like! 🎉 Can't wait to see more encouraging videos about tasty and healthy stuff. 👋

Seriously ty for mentioning how soy is not bad! We are not days ppl! Love how most are plant based as at times I struggle to get enough esp on my weight lifting days. Great video!

Great info. Spelling errors were distracting...there are no 'F's (...much less 2) in phosphorus.

Very informative! I love lentils but have never tried hemp. Can you share some research on soy? I have heard that it is not good for you.

The issue with milk is many ppl are intolerant more than you think, causes acne, bloat, my daughter even suffered from eczema and once we cut it never had it again. We do so has it has many minerals/vitamins.

The question are they complete protine ? While many plant-based foods are not complete proteins individually, combining different plant protein sources throughout the day can provide all essential amino acids. This makes it possible for vegetarians and vegans to meet their protein needs without consuming animal products.

complete proteins vs incomplete proteins is the info need for a lot of people, just saying

[timothybilsky]

Good video, thank you. That little bit of palm oil adds some saturated fat too, if I’m not mistaken, in the more conventional, even natural peanut butters. That said, I love the JIF Natural. 😂

Very helpful information from a Registered Dietitian, not just ‘nutrition experts’ who have some training….but someone needs to do a ‘spell check’ on the ‘fosforus’ and ‘benifit’ typos on the screen!

did you mention calories and DIAAS affecting absorbability? protein on paper in grams is not what is digested, only soy is equal to animal proteins. the DIAAS means you need to eat more to get equal to animal proteins, increasing calories substantially.

Wow, do some research! Maybe start with the YouTube video "Dairy is Scary." We all should take on the responsibility to protect the planet and animals. And in the process we can all get much more healthy. "Dairy is Scary.

When you tell about a half cup of beans is that dry or cooked

[gymfreak]

[nicolerh]
