I love how these folks are not pretentious.

Loved this interview. Very informative. My favorite part is Bob and Brad acting like it's normal to use their mic on a fork poked into an apple. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

no one is gonna change my mind. still agoge for me, the best diet and has worked wonders already

I've been vegan for 4 years now, and objectively, I dropped from 88kg to 60kg in the first year (Inseam dropped from 38" to 31"), felt way lighter on my joints, more energetic, needed less sleep. I feel great. Just some considerations: Be sure you're getting B12 (in most fortified food / plant based milk, or supplement), DHA / EPA (Omega-3), Iron (if needed, always take with vitamin C that increases absorption two fold), do your blood work couple times a year, and you're set. And I'd be missing something if I didn't say that eating a meal where animals didn't pay a price, just adds to the flavor of the food. I love Bob & Brad, so humble 💜

i was a 30 year asthmatic and also cut (most) dairy from my diet and found a substantial reduction in my symptoms. spot on.

I use salsa as a salad dressing!! Bonus flavor! There are so many salsas on the market that I can vary what I use!

I only discovered (and Liked) your channel about a week ago, but now I LOVE you guys!!!! Listen to what this young guy says! I changed to eating whole food plant based/no oil 3.5 years ago at the age of 67. Dropped my cholesterol from 268 to 132, reversed my "pre-diabetes"; blood pressure dropped from 140/90 ON MEDICATION to 110/70 OFF medication...and I lost 85 lbs!!! This stuff works!!!!

Tried it for a few years. Correctly, medically supervised. Developed diabetes. Developed chronic pain. Developed severe depression. Switched to a whole food ketogenic diet. Lost 175 pounds, normal blood sugar, depression gone, pain gone, feel fantastic! Asthma (present before trying either diet) gone, diabetes in control with zero meds, cholesterol better than ever. Best part, depression resolved without med! It's been 17 years of excellent health.

What a great segment. Seeing the different foods lined up next to each other is so helpful. And the comments about good carbohydrates versus empty ones...Love your videos. Thank you!

I like half an avocado as a salad dressing. Mix with a little lemon juice.

I love this channel. You guys are funny, FUN, and informative. And in this video you show such respectful interest in your guest - taking notes, repeating back information, and admitting that you may want to rethink your own eating. I just loved the visuals - so incredibly powerful. Thank you!!

I have tried just about every diet out there, eating real food cooked or prepared as close to it's natural form seems to be the best way to go. Thanks for the video.

Keep up the good work. This is my life style and I'm 80 and healthy. Thanks for posting Dr. Esselstyne's and Dr. McDougall's web site among others. You will save a lot of lives.

I have followed an almost identical diet to what Craig has mentioned (maybe a little more fat than he allows for) & I can truely stand by his advice, It helped me get rid of eczema almost immediately! Whole foods plant based all the way.

I also use salsa as a salad dressing! There are so many varieties on the market now and they had a bonus of flavor!

These two are the best since Car Guys on NPR. The exception obviously being they focus on health vs. cars. But, the correlation is, both segments are highly informative and presented in an entertaining way. Thank you!

I love you guys. Great info. Thank you. I have been following your knee videos for a few weeks. I have a torn knee meniscus and, I decided not to have surgery. Your videos have helped me recover my knee strength and movement. I love your sense of humor and your demonstrations. Now looking at this video because I have to lose weight. You guys rock! I’m telling everyone about your videos. ❤️❤️❤️

Wow! Thank you for sharing. I noticed I was gaining weight. I was looking at what was different in my diet and I was eating more cheese. I had arguments with multiple people about it. They said that it was impossible for cheese to cause me to gain weight. When I took cheese out of my diet the weight gain stopped. And this video supports my theory. I also am so grateful that he had a visual to show us. He explained calories in such a way that it makes it easier to understand. Doctors say you have to eat better, or change your diet but they don't explain what to change or what's better.

You guys are awesome!!!! I have been plant based for more that 25 years. Also got rid of asthma and lost weight :)

My salad dressing is lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and pinch of Himalayan salt.

Thank you lads. That was very interesting. I learned a few things there. Some good habits I let slip, I'm going to try to bring back. I appreciate that. Amazing how the right food can make you not only healthier, (, the important bit of course);but how well you can look on it too.

I think the reason why we get full when we eat nuts is the fat content that acts on our satiety center which makes us feel full.

Thank you so much, very practical, accessible and helpful information. Thanks Craig!

B and B. You were very kind to this young man, asking questions to keep him talking. He sounded nervous.

Great stuff! I have been whole food plant based for over 6 years and I am doing so much better. No more IBS or acid reflux!! Lost 21 lbs too. I hope to lose another 10 lbs to get within my ideal weight for my age! I try to recommend this to people without being to pushy because it is challenging at first but so worth it!! Thanks Bob and Brad for being open to new ideas on better health.

Amazing advice! My wife went plant based and she eats many potatoes or complex carbs and she's losing weight without killing herself in the gym. She only walks about 30 min daily but changing to a plant based diet has been the major cause of her weight loss. A change in diet will beat jogging to lose weight, any day! It's all about what you eat.

Out of all the content on the internet this is my favorite😂you guys are wholesome and are well informed in your fields!

Greetings gentlemen, thank you for your help, I needed to hear this.

Thanks Craig! Very informative and useful info. I didn’t realise M&M’s were so calorific!

Awesome video! Very eye opening.

Would love to see you bring Craig Martin back for another video.

Love TheOliveTap! Went there while in florida and was able to sample vinegars and fell for the peach vinegar.....wonderful!

this was an informative video. I really enjoyed its balanced sensible discussion. I have done all sorts of eating regimes, but what it has come down to for me is I still eat too much. Actually looking at calorie density and portion size has made it plain to me what I am doing wrong. Calorie dense foods are yummy, but so easy to overdose on. I always remember the old adage that the difference between a helpful medicine and a poison is the size of the dose. I eat really healthily, cook everything fresh ever day but I eat too much. I will attempt to remedy this. Thank men for making it easy to visualise.

Get a partner that looks at you like Bob looks at those candy-coated chocolate peanuts! lol

Very informative thank you guys

How fitting! New fans of yours, and new plant based whole food consumer! Loving life!💥 Thanks for the fun you bring to your informational vids. ⚘👏🥳

This was awesome! Thank you so much gentlemen :) I shall be sharing this video with all my loved ones, especially those who love cheese ;) I cut out dairy on July 1st of this year and have seen changes in my health already. Cheers from Canada

Seems he's obsessed with calories and not just in healthy eating. I didn't give up olive oil, and still losing weight. If you mix that salad bowl with olive oil you'll get 1000 calories, and considering that you won't be able to finish it during the day means you will get only 1000 calories per day.

such a genuine table chat! Thanks for the tips =)

THE INTRO IS EVERYTHING!!!

I just started a whole foods plant based lifestyle 10 days ago. I sometimes consume plant oils, mostly in small amounts of nuts or seeds; on rare occasion, i use a scant amount of walnut oil or olive oil for flavor. I intend to eat avocados.I eat salad with a flavored vinegar herb dressing. I enjoy plenty of veggies, some fruit, whole grains, and legumes, all of which I love, and I don't feel hungry or crave foods. (I used to be a cheese and dairy fan.) I feel full fast and eat 4 or sometimes 5 times a day. I feel energetic and content. I have lost 4 lb so far. My BMI is 25.0, and I would like to get to BMI around 23.0 within 6 months. In summary, I incorporate fats in my diet, but all are from plant sources and I use them in small quantities.

Baked potato with Worcestershire sauce is one of my favorites!

Excellent video! Thanks for the information!

Excellent interview very informative. Thanks for sharing.

What Greg should have mentioned, when you eat a sweet potato, you need to have a little fat with it because the beta carotene ( Vitamin A ) in the sweet potato is fat soluble - without fat your body won't be able to make use of the vitamin A.

Bob and Brad! Adore you guys and your positivity!! What awesome info you put out there!!! Hope everyone is safe and well! Please please tell us how we can find Craig as well and his nutrition info!!???? Anyone know!!!?

Great eye-opening info. Excellent demonstration. I hope they got to have the M&Ms at the end.

This is very informative! Love you guys!❤️

"The asthma story is a good one" haha haha I love you guys

I've known this stuff for years but to SEE it was really amazing. But it is protein that keeps me full. He doesn't talk about protein.

Bob & Brad are so good , very informative

This is very helpful information. Thank you!

Thank you. like always you provide us with useful information.

That was indeed a great way to explain the calorie myth ! iam just loving it

These visuals were very helpful.

Great informational video. Thanks guys.

Love this I need to watch what I eat now ... heart healthy

I think the only thing this video is missing is about the macro nutrient of protein, which also can keep you full for longer. Many people don't even consume enough protein!

Excellent information! Thank you

Amazing discussiom. Thank you

I am 68 and have been plant based for 5 years now. I lost 29 lbs and felt great. I will never go back to eating meat and dairy. Never.

I lost 40 lbs in three months on a low carb/ high fat and protein diet. I felt 20 years younger on it

Great video guys, lots of useful information!!!

great guest to have - thanks

I've always liked your videos before and found them very helpful, but I rarely watch videos on diet from a doctor's channel because they usually end up frustrating me! But I was curious... so I watched it. I was thrilled to hear the words whole food plant based! Now I love your channel even more because you heal the entire body, inside and out! Thank you for your channel 😀

I used to be vegan, I was underweight and developed all sorts of issues. He looks underweight too. To me it’s about balance.

Your guys are great. Thanks for this video.

I really enjoyed this video!! Thankyou

When trying to lose weight and/or be healthy you have 3 choices for diet:1.) Low carb/moderate protein/high fat. 2.) High carb/ low protein/low fat. 3.)eat whatever you want but keep calories under 2,000. All diets will work. But 1&2 may be the healthier options? Everyone please be safe💓

Oh boy. Lots of "experts" in the comments. I don't believe he ever said to cut out fat completely. He's giving options to reduce fat in the diet which can be very useful for A LOT of people. This was a small, helpful segment about calories and what 500 calories roughly looks like in every food group. This wasn't a complete nutrition program, but a helpful tip. Relax.

Thanks for the video

Well done. Love your video

In response to the current interviewee, I recently learned from a friend that she is allergic to the A1 version of the protein in Milk, but not to the A2 haplotype. An allergy to milk products may result from a reaction to the individual type of protein in the milk.

My salad dressing is no dressing. I like vegetables to taste exactly how they are meant to taste.

Awesome Craig!! U gave me some great tips!!

Gave up dairy about a month ago mostly because I finally put 2 and 2 together and realized I'm lactose intolerant. My stomach was constantly turning, gurgling, gassy, bloated, I had daily headaches, tired, joint stiffness, constant nasal drainage which also lead to sore throats, plugged up nose when sleeping which lead to a crappy nights sleep. Cut dairy out and most of those symptoms went away within days others took a bit longer. Getting rid of dairy has been pretty much life changing for me. I use to make fun of people saying how bad dairy was and how humans should not consume it but now I truly believe it.

Bob and Brad. Love you 2. There needs to be some experts from the other side of what this man is presenting. There is new and old evidence that contradicts what he is saying. He may look young but he does not look like a vital, healthy person to me. We need more variety and balance in our diet than he is presenting.

I lost 140 lbs, I bought a dance workout video, cut what I ate by half, and between the two totally doable! If I wanted something "fattening" I ate some, but not as much...... increase activity, cut fats and calories.... bang! it falls off.......

The 500 calories of lettuce would be almost completely nutritionally useless UNTIL you added the 500 calories of olive oil, which would be infinitely healthier for you to consume in the first place.

WOW! Thank you Craig!

craig feels like he’s trying to impress his father in laws

Boiled eggs in the morning keep me going until early afternoon

Very fascinating program

The apple microphone 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the content too. The visuals are an eye opener.

Best KZfaq channel I watch

Exercise needs to be added to the calorie calculations as well. Nuts? I handful a day is healthy brain food! Pasta is not. I have switched to black bean pasta. Delish!

"Winners r not people who never fall but people who never quit", needed to hear dis, fell other day n wen to PT next day fo walk mo bettah 🚶🏾‍♀️

Hi. I love your videos. Wondering what an acute case of lumbar herniated disc can do for low impact aerobic exercises or machines to help with fat burning? Thanks so much

Good for you Bob and Brad! Thank you for this valuable and informative video. I'm a new subscriber. I have too laugh when people respond to a person describing what calorie density means as being "fat-phobic". I think some people tend to panic whenever they hear someone supporting a whole food plant based diet because for many decades we've all been over saturated with aggressive media advertising touting alleged health benefits of meat and dairy with lots of oil, oil, oil, and the Dept of Agriculture's biased dietary recommendations, so its no wonder that we cant even entertain the idea of consuming anything else. Its good to see this video, as it reflects the current fact that our government has recently been rethinking their history of dietary recommendations and The World Health Organization's recent warning about consuming processed meats is being taken seriously. We need to stop being afraid of change and new ideas. For a country that is so wealthy and powerful, isn't it rather ironic that the US ranks among the top three countries with the highest rate of Cardio Vascular Disease, Diabetes, Stroke, Cancer, Osteoporosis, etc, compared to other countries where these diseases are rare or non-existent but their diet is predominantly unprocessed and plant based. Countless studies over past decades have repeatedly proven this. Check out NutritionFacts.org or read the China Study or Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease. Like other commentators, I too, have switched away from the Standard American Diet due to decades of obesity related health problems and have been consuming a whole foods plant based diet for the past 2 years now. I will be turning 60 in less than 3 months. I too, feel like a teenager since going plant based! No regrets at all, never going back.

Why is it that when it comes to diet we go from one extreme to another? Can we have a balanced diet with plants and meat with a combination of small portions of carbs and exercise regularly?

A zoom in on the foods would be great

Great video. Just explains that you can eat to get full with less calories. Would like a video on snacks with calorie difference. I get hungry typing and use suggestions.

Excellent! I'm a McDougall and Esselstyn fan! Craig is right on the money with his nutrition advice! A Whole food plant based diet is the way to go!

I’m a personal trainer. Why didn’t he mention the huge difference in the types of carbs the Eminem‘s are from the lettuce. They are not the same types of carbs. There are healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs. The types of healthy carbs after consumed go to fuel whatever the specific food has in it. Where as the Eminem carbs are make up of nothing nutritional so they body can’t use it to fuel anything resulting in going straight to fat. You can have the same amount of that lettuce in calories as the Eminem’s. Even if you get sugar free Eminem’s (if they exist) you will never gain weight from having even a 5,000 calorie salad-only diet. Because the carbs in the lettuce is so nutritional all’s you would have to do is go for a run for the carbs to be used elsewhere and not turn to fat. I feel like this guy is a tiny bit uneducated on that OR he simply forgot to mention the very important fact that there are healthy carbs and junk carbs that can’t be turned into or used for anything but fat

Grt job friends a big help u guys keep going

Awesome guys! Love it!!

Besides his take on cheese, all other things appear half-baked. Food is not about just calories and losing weight. It has much more to offer, sadly there is no mention of the mental health that this weightless diet creates. Plus the amount of stress our body goes under when kept under such a rigorous diet. Our body is not just about the aesthetics or looks or shape, there is a mind in their too that needs health, calm and happiness. I do not find much substance in what he has to say regardless of how much "younger" he claims to look. As to me, he looks weak and frail not just physically but also mentally.

You wouldn't use that amount of oil on a salad. If you mixed a bit of oil with some balsamic vinegar that would be sufficient and you would get some fats in your diet!

I subscribed the other day and am loving your channel. I am a diabetic in denial, so would love some tips on weight loss directed at diabetics

Great video!!
