The plant-based diet | Michael Greger, MD, | TEDxBismarck

[MictheVegan]

lol to that disclaimer: Greger promotes a 'specific diet that lacks sufficient scientific evidence?!' His upcoming book has 5, 000 references. He also just cited more studies than I have ever seen on the TED stage.

I bought his book how not to die and went vegan 18 months ago. I’ve gone from 250 ponds to 190. I’m a 59 year old 6’2” male. I never counted calories and enjoy food and eating now more than ever. My bad cholesterol went from 184 to 90. He has made a believer out of me and several of my friends!! Thx Doc.

I made the switch. I feel better, look better, and my blood pressure dropped from 137 over 84, to 114 over 62. Thanks Dr Gregor.

I've followed Dr Gregers approach for 15 years and raised a son on it. He's 20 years old and is currently bicycling all over the US. At nearly 60, I haven't needed medical care in over a decade. Dr Gregers approach works extremely well!

Started plant based Whole Foods 2 years ago. High blood pressure, overweight size 16 jean, bloated, tired, dehydrated etc.... 2 years later 60 lbs down. Size 5 jeans. Energy to workout everyday. Perfect blood panel. Blood pressure is 114/ 70. feel better at 43 than I did at 33.

Never in a million years did I expect to last a year on a plant based diet, let alone one week. I challenged myself to try it a month and just kept going. You can do it, and you find yourself discovering new foods and cooking skills in the process. Personally I lost 30 pounds. Gregers's daily dozen app is great too.

Some day this will all be common knowledge. Love this guy.

Two years ago, I quit added sugar. No cakes, no cookies, no candy, no ice cream, no sweet drinks. I've lost weight, my skin looks great, and I've replaced those things with veggies and fresh fruit. People are always excited to know what my diet is until I tell them. Then I'm crazy

Awesome talk, Michael Greger, loved your book. Since going plant based I've been asked by genuinely curious people, why don't you eat meat? I recently asked someone the question after they had asked me why I don't, why do you eat meat? They paused, for protein. I then asked, who told you that you need to get protein from meat? They paused and couldn't really answer the question in a straight forward way. The hardest thing for me since I transitioned and I think for a lot of people is you pretty much have to admit your entire life has been a lie and that you were manipulated and controlled by big industry. Once you do make the switch, become more conscious, educated in nutrition and compassionate, your entire life will change for the better! We have a plant based cooking show on our channel and are trying to spread the message in Canada!

I'm a Greger fan and have to say this is his best delivery I have seen yet in a presentation of this length plus the content is very well crafted. He has superb information and articulating it like this was the last step to put him over the top (in my mind).

[sebastiankaspohl]

Adopting the vegan lifestyle 2 years ago was the best decisions of my life. ❤️🙏🌱

[AskBobnFran]

Excellent video!  We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging.  Getting older does have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, calm mind, & positive outlook.  The content you present is very helpful.

Michael Greger is such a legend, I love him!
I've been vegan for 8, 5 years, and going vegan is the best decision I've made in my life.

I have been diagnosed with bipolar 1, panic attacks, CPTSD, ADHD, and developed epilepsy in my 20s.I have been on various pharmaceuticals most of my life.I am now 46, am seizure free, and off most the medications I used to on!Thanks to the pandemic I completely changed my diet, began taking supplements, and began exercising every day.I meditate and do yoga every day, sleep 7, 8 hours a night, limit my screen time, and stopped watching the news.I have gone from being my own worst enemy to being my own best friend and I am happier than I ever been!

[samermazahreh]

This guy is the one of the most gifted presenters i have ever seen in my life, not to mention the beautiful knowledge and how he presented it!

[darcey]

Dr. Greger changed my life. I read his book How Not to Die and subsequently lost 75lbs over 15 months. It’s been easy to maintain, I love the food I eat, and I never feel deprived! I was obese and my BMI is now 21, ideal for longevity. Not only that but I no longer experience heartburn, acid reflux, constant headaches, heart palpitations, inflammation, or fatigue. It sounds too good to be true but it’s literally true. Thank you Dr. Greger! ❤

[VishalSharma-sykk]

never stop doing this sir. the world needs you!

[MindForwardAnna]

"Please do not look to this talk for medical advice" LOL Dr. Greger is a MEDICAL DOCTOR - who should we look to then?
