Plant-Based Diets Boost Metabolism

@cozyrainforsleep 6 years ago

I started a plant-based whole foods diet several years ago and never looked back. I avoid oils as well. This (plus daily exercise) changed my whole body. No more joint pain or acid reflux. I was amazed at how much it affected me.

I started the "Plant-based diet" 4 weeks ago, so I had an appointment with my doctor 3 weeks after I started the PL diet. My doctor was shocked to see that all my "stats" for "high blood pressure and thyroids" were so far down until my doctor was shocked. She asked me "what did I do", so I told her "I had started the plant based diet" and would NEVER turn back to "bad eating and horrible medications". She was happy, but she seemed a little confused, so she made an appointment for me to return in six weeks, and if my "vitals" were still down to normal, she would take me of the "meds". I'm looking forward to returning to her, and she can eliminate these "horrible meds with lots of "side affects". I will NEVER be off this "plant-based" way of eating. I FEEL WONDERFUL AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS HEALTHY WAY OF EATING, and by the way I don't miss eating "meat, dairy, and oils".

She’s not lying. I was on high blood pressure medication and on my way to diabetes. Went plant-based two years ago lost 20 pounds and all my numbers are normal.

I need your podcasts to keep me on the bandwagon, Chuck. They're really helpful.

So proud of Dr. Hana Kahleová! She's from Czech Republic like me. :) Always happy to see successful Czech expats! Very informative interview.

I am 66 yrs young and I am a vegan for over 15 months now. I feel great! And I am grateful for all the blessings and benefits of not eating meat nor dairy. Thank you for spreading the true facts to wellness. 😊

I just dropped 1 size going plant base for the last 4 weeks, and I'm 54, never gone hungry and I haven't worked out as I should!!... I thought I was having a metabolism problem because of aging... and it turns out, for me, eating whole foods plant base is keeping me healthy and trim!! I can't believe the energy it's giving me!!! 🙏🙏🙏😋😋😁

Really enjoy the interview. I look forward to you having the doctor back again she’s extremely knowledgeable and I feel like we’re getting the best cutting-edge information straight from the source.

An excellent video, covering many key points with clarity. Food is an emotive issue, so no surprise to see some spats. The bottom line is that the PCRM and various researchers who support it have done their work, and the science behind the low-fat, whole foods vegan diet is solid. It doesn't mean one should become a fanatic over it. Being 100% is very difficult in the modern world and requires such effort and vigilance that this sometimes tips over into obsessiveness. It's better to follow the diet at say the 80-90% level, and allow some flexibility for eating out and travelling, than to try and be 100% compliant and possibly end up with new issues caused by a rigid mindset that does not make any realistic allowances for occasional "lapses". Being overly rigid and obsessive could well end up in abandoning the diet altogether, when the realistic solution is to step back, relax and be realistic and flexible. When someone decides to transition to vegan, the path is unique and personal. I've come across or read about too many judgmental food nazis whose approach to people they see as "noncompliant" or "backsliding" has more to do with ideological, rigid dogmatism and a convert's fanatical scrutiny of "sinners", than with a rational approach to improving diet. Going vegan is not a competition. It is not a race to see who gets there fastest. It is not about gaining kudos for being 100% "pure". It is not about doing penance when you supposedly "fail". It is not about obsessing about food every waking hour. It is not about obsessing over what someone else eats. It is not about preaching aggressively to gain converts to your food ideology. It is not about attacking others for their food choices. You are not responsible for anyone's diet except your own.

Day one, my heart palpitations stopped and I didn’t experience night time body throbbing anymore.

Best eating plan for humans hands down! I was looking to get rid of inflammation when I came down with pain from an autoimmune disease. After a year of pain and failure I tried a WFPB diet and that was it! I was pain free!!! I also lost 15 lbs in the first two months... by accident. I was already a normal weight. The biggest surprise ever was that after a year on this diet I found I was free if all my food addictions! I will never go back to a SAD diet!
