Right after watching this amazing video by this extremely cool and calm doctor, I became a vegan in Feb 2018. A year ago my doctor told me, no matter how much I change my diet, I still have to take the cholesterol medication for the "rest of my life"! I just got my blood work few days ago. I don't have to take the medication any longer. I have lost 38 pounds in just a few months. I feel great!

I rented a room from a 40 year old woman, mother of 3 for 2 years. She ate nothing but fresh fruits and veggies for years. At the time I thought she was too hardcore with it, but now I understand. She was slim, never wearing makeup, with the most beautiful young and fresh looking skin, walking up every day at 4am, studying, working full time and raising 3 kids...

A friend of mine was obese, diabetic and spending $500/month on diabetes medications. I helped him go Whole Food Plant Based, no added oil. He watched all the pertinent movies and read the books of Barnard, Esselstye, Campbell, etc. He lost 65 lbs, is normal weight (first time in 50 years!!), takes almost no diabetes med ($30/month). He is thrilled and is going on his 10th year of WFPB eating. He said he will never go back. But we are BOTH disturbed that his physician did not know about how to help my friend with diet. He only knew how to prescribe more and more drugs. The Medical schools are controlled by the pharmaceutical companies to the detriment of the public's good health.

My Grandfather is 93 and at 70 had quadruple bypass surgery. He completely changed the way he was eating, and began a plant based diet. I know 100% it has bought him a lot more LIFE because of it. At 93 he tells me if he knew about this in his 20's he says he'd have lived to be 200 years old. He has irreversible heart damage from years ago, but continues to live by this way of life!!! He says FOOD is Medicine. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Been on a whole-foods plant-based diet for 48 days now. No more arthritis medication, no more pain medication for arthritis and best of all, no more blood pressure medication. After watching "What the Health" I changed my diet the next day. I'd quit drinking milk over 20 years ago, so was not that hard. I will NEVER eat meat again.

A doctor, a lawyer, and a director. Okay, now you need to run for president. You have the whole package!! xo

Dr. Lim, you are breath of fresh air to the Plant Based Movement, a game changer to the medical establishment! - Plant Strong!

Life changing...I am 69, female. I have lost 45 pounds since Christmas 2016. Went from a size 18 to 12. My primary reason for getting on this bandwagon was ethical....I can no longer be a part of the horrific treatment of animals. The fabulous results of my weight loss and the reduction of numbers (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc) is a bonus. I was going to say the icing on the cake.........!!!!! And it has been easy. Every time I want an egg or a hamburger I just think of the pain, suffering and fear of the animal that was slaughtered so I could eat something that might eventually kill me.

I love that there no product to have to buy at the end of this presentation. Thank you for a calm, interesting talk.

This is one of the most important lectures I have ever heard. I started eating a plant-based (vegan) diet only a few week ago and I already feel much healthier and energetic. Dr Lim has convinced me that I am on the right path.

I healed my left knee and my waist by adopting this way of eating. I'm still 33

Awesome! It's great to see a young doctor going in the right direction. Thanks Dr. Goldhamer and Dr. McDougall for employing this young man and giving him a place to practice the right way. The future is looking better.

Dr. Lim, you are great for the cause and I hope you stay with it. This helps people a lot in real ways. People need real help, not smoke and mirrors and promises of a cure in a pill.

Wonderful knowledge and information. It is inspiring and motivating. I have been plant based now for 7 months and for first time in my life after 22 years of monthly headaches, I have not had one headache, which is amazing. I will be plant based for the rest of my life. I'm 58 years old. Wish I knew about this years ago. However I'm positive that the rest of my life I will be in good health. Thank you Dr. Lin.

This guy rocks. I been plant based for 5 years now. I still like my vegan cheeses and nada moo ice cream once in awhile. Some pasta with meatless meatballs is ok too when u are craving it. Life is good.

This may save my life and change my world completely! So excited!

OMG! This guy is an attorney and a medical doctor... Amazing!

After years of having issues with my blood glucose levels, weight, heartburn and lack of energy and headaches, I had a doctor recommend plants over animals in my diet. I did a lot of research for a couple weeks and searched for recipes that would suit my tastes and style of cooking (not an easy feat with 3 generations in the same household). My original plan had been to start out vegetarian and work my way toward vegan. Within days of starting off vegetarian, I read the book "The Vital Blend" by Anthony Vita and realized I needed to completely cut the dairy and even the fish that I loved so much. And so the WFPB lifestyle was begun in my household. Within 2 weeks of going WFPB, I had lost 6 lbs, had no headaches, had leveled my blood glucose in the 100-115 range, was no longer suffering through heartburn every time I ate and drank water and was feeling more and more energetic. On the third week, I was on a trip with my family and we were eating at a restaurant that did not have WFPB options and they had Ahi Tuna steak (my favorite!!!). I ordered it and immediately after eating, realized that there could be no "cheating" for me: I felt awful with almost a hangover effect happening. I wanted nothing more than to lay down and sleep it off. I had learned that reintroducing unhealthy things, even occasionally, into my cleaned up digestive system was not a good plan. I'm now only 10 weeks into going WFPB and have lost 17lbs. I no longer crave the things I used to love, like ice cream, cheese, milk and fish. I am finding that the longer I live the WFPB lifestyle, I crave fruits and veggies. I love not feeling horrible when I wake up in the morning and wanting to sleep after meals. I love being able to work all day long without those energy slumps an hour before lunch or dinner. I love how much better I sleep at night. The one thing you will find happening that -COULD- be considered a negative, depending on how you look at it: You will NEED to drink a lot more water. Your body will not retain moisture the way it does when you're eating meats and dairy and processed stuff. So plan to start your day, your meals and all activities with a glass of water and drink lots through the day. If your skin is feeling dry, drink more water! And don't forget your B-12, which is not naturally found in plants. I add a scoop of greens powder that has B-12 in it to my smoothies every morning. Hope this helps someone out there considering WFPB eating. Just try it for a couple weeks. It can't hurt you and it's worth a try for your health!

Thank you for providing this information! I have been plant based for over two years and have experienced the reversal of fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, IBS, chronic tendinitis, environmental allergies, as well as joint and back pain! I LOVE that you do not sell supplements or other products and just focus on the plant based real foods!!

What a beautiful presentation!!! Especially because of the way Dr. Lim gets his message across. For anyone who is even toying with the idea of improving their diets and having even the slightest interest in improving their health--- this is a MUST WATCH!!!

I watched this for the first time in November and went on to consume as much information about WFPB as I could. After I was determined to eat WFPB and fast. I've lost 20lbs, and I plan to continue WFPB. Thank you for posting this!

Love Dr. Lim. He took great care of us along with the McDougall family at the 10 day June 2107 program. His enthusiasm and positive attitude is so wonderful. Thanks for all your support!

You can see his asian roots as he bows to thank the compliment at the end. Such a pleasant speaker delivering such an amazing message in a very effective way. Wish this message gets to the people who need it most

Wow! One of the best videos I've ever seen on nutrition! Thanks so much Dr. Lim 🙏🏻 I've been a "reasonably" healthy vegan for 2 years but after watching just 15 mins I'm already sick of labelling myself as being "reasonably" healthy, but instead, want to remove "reasonably" and label myself as healthy full stop. Super inspired to now make the complete switch to a WFPB Vegan diet! not just a Vegan diet. Thank you! Already spreading the word! WFPB Vegan 💚

Thanks so much for this video presentation, I started my fruit and vegetable plan 2 months ago, and I must say my blood pressure is normal for the first time in 15 years, this healthy way of eating REALLY DOES WORK!!

Plant Based Diet is the way to go, I'm down 62 Lbs in 5 Months cholesterol is 120:) Great video

This is one doctor that gets everything right! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Dr. Lim hit it out of the ballpark!! Loved this presentation! Thoughtful, caring and informative! :) Thank YOU!!! :)

You should be asked to speak at TED!

I went on the starch solution food program when my LDL hit 120, which is high. My weight was 193 lb and waist size was about 38". Now, my LDL is 65, which is ideal, no heart attack risk essentially, waist size is 33", weight is 150 lb. Furthermore, I am off blood pressure medication, my blood pressure is normal, and my tachycardia (resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute) is gone: it's 75 or less now. I feel fleet footed. I feel more clearheaded since I think I'm eating way better and more nutrients. God Bless Alan Goldhammer, Dr. Anthony Lim, and Dr. John Mcdougall. I've been on the program for 29 months. I've been lucky not to get knocked off the program except an accident where I drank a couple two liters of soda several years ago, and once I ate some crackers with less than 2% oil. That's it. I am off both diet and regular soda for many years so it's not a temptation. Eating whole plant foods completely satisfies me now, without exception.

Man looking back I really believe that this is the right life style for me..over weight 48years old diabetic I know a lot of the plant based community don't have faith in God but I am grateful for this valuable information...thank you dr. But most of all thank you LORD

I watched this video,I spoke to my daughter in law about and she is coming over tomorrow, New year's eve to watch it with me. I enjoyed this amazing very fit good looking and as others have mentioned, calm doctor. I have been looking at videos of folks who are making 100 plus years in amazing health by eating this way. Have read a lot about blue zone residents and now this video. I'm ready to begin this transition. I always tell my kids I'm going to live to be 100 and live in my own home but with current health issues I needed to understand how to achieve this goal. Yep I've got this on my list. I have been working training slowly, now it is time to speed up the game! Thank you and God's bless you.

Wish my brain would have listened to this before my bariatric surgery

I absolutely enjoyed this presentation. This guy has inspired me soooo much I will be changing to at least 80 percent plant based diet. Thank you so much sir.

I wished i had seen this presentation before i had my gallbladder removed (02/2018). however, i know now that i must do a change, and urging my adult children to do so. One the the things that stood out (to me) is when he said that at the end of the presentation he did not have a product to sell! thank God for people who really cares. This was very informative.

We love plant based. Thank u for this video. We wish our loved ones can understand how important nutition is and embrace it with no excuses.

This is an excellent presentation! I've watched all the plant based documentaries and this simple precise presentation is superior to them all. Thank you Dr.Lim.

I'm a Urologist and ashamed at the lack of nutritional knowledge in the medical community. I also praise Dr. Lim's calmness when the guy in the crowd gave him the "but dis diet gave ma friend die-a--beetus!" question and made me think probably this world doesn't deserve good things.

This is the type of doctor I can respect. Not the drugs and surgery only doctors.

I HAVE BEEN A VEGAN CLOSE TO 20 YEARS !! AND I LOVE IT BEING 50 YEARS TOO AND SHARE IS CARING ! :)

Post OHS and graft surgery has brought me learning about Veterinarian, Vegan and now the real answer Whole Food Plant Based. Only at it a few months. You really put a collection of information into perspective for me. The road is clear. Thank you for the great education.

Dr Goldhamer. Dr McDougall. Dr Lisle, Chef AJ... you changed my life 🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️

1 year a vegan, interestingly enough I've had the best allergy season last spring. no sneezing my head off no runny nose no running eyeballs it's been the best summer. I've also noticed little aches and pains in my knees and ankles are gone little creeks and pops are no longer. 🌿🌿🌿

Dr Anthony Lim this is the best video ive seen so far and one off the reasons im going plant based,not quite vegan but near enough thanks for sharing this. you will and are saving peoples lives.

Dr. Lim is a boss.

Oh and I loved the end presentation with the glass of coke representing all of the wrong choices we have been stuffing our selves with and then the water being poured slowly into that same glass cleaning out the junk and renewing the vessel with pure clean water,...or health! Awesome!

This is the most comprehensive, informative without being condescending, WFPB presentation I have watched. ❤ Many thanks.

Watching this on my 3rd day on plant based

God bless you Doctor Lim you do give a damn indeed it shows through you. Love your humility. I can't wait for my 3rd year in this lifestyle it saved my life many thanks to Dr. Mcdougall I stopped eating the poison to get well. Its a long road the sciatica nerve pain is now bearable, and I hope by 2022 to have a whole new Wardrop and obesity would be a thing of the past. I can't wait for my second chance at life, thank you to humane Doctors may God bless you and your families bountifully. You display clearly how as human beings we need each other and that indeed the best things in life are free.

SUPERB DOCTOR !!!! I liked when he mentioned how success is perceived as conventional doctor .... ( I am a MD ). ( The truth will set you free !!! )

I've watched about 6 hours non-stop of whole food plant-based lifestyle presentations and Dr. Lim has so far done the best job. He is charming and friendly and super informative. Dr Guntner...I think his name is....scared the Hell out of me about 5 hours ago with his tomatoes and beans are poison approach to promoting his supplement products and this is why I am watching everybody else tonight. I thought tomatoes and beans were super good for you. God! Thanks for this show!

I am not obese nor on any meds, but, my dr NEVER asked what I eat nor has he ever suggested healthy eating choices to avoid getting sick etc. It never comes up. Being food plays such a big part, you think your family dr would care and teach. Grateful for you guys who freely give and WANT people healthy & happy.

This was the best presentation I've ever seen.

Awesome presentation and good to see a passionate young doctor continuing the Plant Based movement!!! God Bless!

I wish I could "like" this video 100 times! I just watched it again because I recommended it to a friend. Dr. Lim is so lovely and he delivers this info in a way that doesn't confront people but actually gives them hope and encouragement. Thank you for producing this and posting it.

Thanks for this wonderful presentation! Anyone who is on this diet looks young and healthy with beautiful skin! Cicely Tyson who is 93 inspired me to change to the vegan lifestyle. She looks so good!

Great presentation, this will change many lives. Thank you so much for publishing this.

really enjoyed this, I have moved to a WFPB (not quite 100% yet but a heap better than beforehand) and boom, have lost 33kg and all blood markers greatly improved. Now friends and family are getting on board. It works.

I'm really trying to adapt this lifestyle. I turned vegan 2 months ago, but I want to take it one step further and do this. I need to loose around 100-150 lbs to be considered normal bmi.

Vegan 🌱 since 1990 , very healthy , very happy & no medication.

I am just beginning my Vegetarian/Vegan journey. Two yrs ago, I tried, but failed; however, I was able to give up pork. I gave up beef over a yr ago. Now, I'm done with all meat. I'm just trying to do more research on what I should and shouldn't eat. I'm excited!

This is the most thorough and well thought out presentation! Fantastic !

And this is precisely why I am whole food plant-based vegan!! Have been and always will be!!!! Great lecture!!

I don't think I will get enough of this video,love it love it 😍 love ❤️ it:) Thank you very much for sharing ,I've been on plant based diet for Two years now,so proud of myself:)

I'm obsessed with this video and Dr. Lim.

I am starting my plant based way of eating on Monday January 8th. I am so excited! I am morbidly obese and have been trying to find a way to eat that makes sense to me, and will help me with all my medical conditions. I am a type II diabetic, have diabetic neuropathy in my feet, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis in both knees, and arthritis in both hips. I will be 47 next month and fear, if I don't change things, that the end is near. I am going to be fasting from Friday 1/5 to Sunday 1/7. This is to help me with the switch. I at present have been trying to eat better, but really like fast food. The worst of the worst processed food. (By the way, this was not a New Years resolution. It is a coincidence that I came to this realization at the end of 2017. lol) I have spent a lifetime doing the wrong thing to my body. I just do not want to leave this world as a glutton. I do have one question. Do you as a doctor think it is a good idea to fast and then start my plant based eating? I feel it is, but have had others say it isn't. I just want to start my new life on an empty slate. Thank you for your time, Caryn

Dr Anthony Lim is someone you listen to. Amazing and i have been a 2 2ltre tub icecream a week. No more!! Thank you sooo much - changing peoples life and stop the greed in the world.

I would just like to say how much I enjoyed your video, you are so easy to listen to and very calm and clear in your delivery. I’m am just in the process of changing my diet to the Whole-Food Plant-Diet, as I do not want to be like my family and friend in taking tablets for the rest of my life. I’m 54 and have so far escaped that. And that is how I wish to carry on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart you are a true inspiration. And I am now looking forward to my new healthy lifestyle journey. God bless you 😍

Love this lecture. Great job Dr. Lim! I just started WFPB about a month and a half ago, and have allowed myself to start using oils and some processed vegan foods into my diet for the sake of simplicity and the convenience of others. If you havent watched the movies, do it. The evidence is out there, and so are the keys to healthy life.

Dr Lim, I enjoyed watching your presentation on whole food plant based diet.🍉🍋🍒🥔🌽🌶 Thanks for sharing your presentation with the world. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

My coworker went strictly vegan and she ended up gaining a ton of weight and then she went back to eating unhealthy food. Vegan food have a ton of coconut milk as well which isn't so good for you. Whole food plant based diet is so much better! Thank you Dr. Lim you did such a wonderful job explaining and educating us on Whole food sos plant eating.

Plant based lifestyle has been wonderful. Wish I had realized this a lot sooner

Thank you so much for making the world a better place to be 💕

Awesome speaker. Knowledgeable and passionate!

Merci beaucoup pour cette conférence passionnante! Je vous écoute depuis la France et il me semble que nous n'avons pas pour l'instant et à ma connaissance, de porte-parole du WFPB diet qui soit aussi pédagogue dans son approche. Merci Dr Lim🙏🙏🙏

Dr Lim, I, too watched Dr Fuhrman on PBS all those years ago, read the books, and watched the documentaries. TrueType life changing! I agree, you can NEVER go back! Thank you for a great video!

This is one of the best presentation i have ever seen thank you for posting

I had been an avid marathon runner for years but had burned out and stopped about 3 years earlier. In that time gaining 65 pounds tipping the scale at 238lbs my blood pressure was averaging 165/90. My Dr had been trying to get me on meds for over a year my dentist even refused to work on me one visit because of high bp. Then after having chest pains wile on my morning walks and a few days later chest pains at night I knew I had do something. So I started with a week long water fast. Watching fasting videos to keep me motivated I stumbled upon a video of Dr McDougall talking about the starch solution. It’s like the light on inside my head the way he explained it was so easy to understand. My wife and I both started the whole food plant based diet after my fast it’s been fantastic. After just three weeks my blood pressure went down from 165/90 to 117/68 my wife was on two different bp meds her Dr took her off one med. We have been HFPB for a little over 6 months now my wife has lost around 20+ lbs and me 38 we both feel great full of energy the food is great it’s an amazing easy and cheep way to eat. I have no doubt we will be eating this way the rest of our lifetime.

I can't get enough of this video. Changing to this way of life has changed me forever. I am 50 pounds lighter and I get my blood test back tomorrow to confirm that my diabetes has been reversed.

Thanks for posting this Alan!

Imagine working and doing what you love until retirement at age 95....that's a mind blower.

What an awesome presentation! I follow a whole-food, plant-based diet but I've been in a rut lately in that I eat the same things every week (blueberries everyday for instance instead of more of a variety of fruits). It blows my mind when people find out that I don't eat animal products or processed food and they ask me what I eat and I say, "Everything else!" More than one doctor has asked me this. I'm also introducing whole grains into my diet because I was one of those people who was afraid of carbs for a long time. It's crazy that society jumps from one fad diet to the next trying to figure out what's healthy when the answer is so obvious: real food.

I sell Medicare insurance - the point is I see a ton of people on numerous meds- 4/6/10! Sometimes it just blows my mind...being a part of the senior population with my career I’ve seen the future! Take care of yourself NOW! Stop the insanity of bad food in your body as much as possible. Love your body and it will love you back. The animals are important but I feel you are more important ultimately and something you can control! Blessings and continued great health.

Awsome, presentation!!. For a long time I have been saying ' our food has been terrible contaminated'. There is sugar on everything. I often write on my Facebook ' lets all join and make a war on the package food industry's. Lets all protest on Pharma corporation. On Dr. who prescribe drugs when people don't need them. Yes, I grew up in the mountains with whole foods. I totally understand. Today, I will start my food 360 degrees. Thank you Dr. Lim and I will educate my whole family. Because I want to see my grandchildren and play with them.

This guy is so calm and amazing ^^

This is just what i needed to hear today. Hubby and I started a vegan journey about 6 months ago, but are still using a lot of the processed vegan food. Listening to you has helped me tremendously to make the switch to WFPB both for health and vanity reasons. Thank you for a fine lecture.

I went completely Whole-Food, Plant-Based Vegan on 6/9/2018 after watching Forks Over Knives. I had sharp pains in my head and chest that lasted about a second, but I thought I was going to die. They're gone now. They happened less frequently and lower in magnitude as I stayed on the diet. I started with about 2-3 episodes a week. My doctor said that he wasn't concerned unless they lasted for over 24 hours. Ha! Thank God that He led me to this diet!

This was an excellent presentation. I really enjoyed watching it and I learned a lot. We are definitely on the same wave length when comes to using food for health. That should be the cornerstone of our health care system. Imagine what it would be like if that was the case.

Great information and easy to understand. Thank you!

Excellent presentation. Hope this movement takes off in Ireland.

Wow!! I don't think I can ever forget this presentation - life changing!

Excellent, evidence based, throughly researched, peer reviewed subject. Very well presented. Thanks very much indeed. 💐❤️🇺🇸

Dr Lim regarding the function of the pancreas in diabetic patients, fasting can be used to repair this. Research fasting in your continued studies - it will blow your mind! WFPB diet in conjunction with regular fasting can heal and reverse conditions like this.

Dr.Lim : please speak at TED !! you need to tell the story to more!

I started plant base diet through a man named Irene. It is a very good program. Thank you for helping me stay healthy and free from illness

Just shared this with my Dad. Thank you so much for sharing this wealth of clear explanations as to why a Whole Food Plant Based Diet is the answer in preventing and in many cases reversing human illnesses that are created by what we put into our mouths.

unbelievable presentation!!!!! Very well done. Thank you for your work. You are changing lives.

That was a very well done presentation. I loved the before and after examples of some patients. It is truly helpful to see the results others have had. It helps keep me motivated. Thank you Dr. Lim.

I’m moving my family of 5 to a whole plant based lifestyle! I’m 32 with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and my weight has increased by 5-10 lbs every year. I’m nearly 350 lbs, thanks to learning about whole plant based foods. I’m going to say that this is going to save my family’s life! Thank you Dr!

What an amazing doctor and presentation. Thank you, Dr. Lim. Please, come back with another lecture!
