Great idea !!! Keep it simple !!

ug, how White person? I was on the last heart attack diet for over 8 years since 2011 and lost 135 pounds and kept it off until too much stress with my wife's health and deteriorating condition 4 years ago. I started eating crackers and cheerios out of the box for the crunch. I gained 60 pounds in about 5 months and I just can't stay strict to vegan anymore because most of it is so disgusting and too difficult and time consuming that I don't have and not physically able to do now at my age. Is there a better meal plan than Dr. Esselstyne has?

We buy Adams brand (totally natural with only peanuts and salt) at Costco in Washington state. The oil and the crunchy peanuts rise to the top and I pour off the oil before mixing the peanuts in. LOVE this stuff, it's better than fresh-ground in my opinion!

​@@annarebecca3384Adams's has a no added salt version as well. Been eating it for years but just found the one without salt today.

Smuckers only has salt and peanuts

There is peanut butter without salt available. Ingredients : Roasted peanutss. That's it. Added salt is not only unnecessary but harmful. So, easy these days, yet WFPB is way to go. Next level would be growing own peanuts and making own peanut butter. Stay healthy and keep up good work, friend.

Thank you

Buy soy milk, it is easier you can get it organic. It’s got more protein same amount of calories as skim milk with no oil. it’s really better for you and him.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Me too 💕

And don't forget a reputable university or research clinic.

Eating dead bodies.

I wonder why people don't talk about this more? I have friends from France who only drink coffee made from a French press and they are proud of it!

…. and most likely your body will be lacking substantially besides that matter you mentioned

@@bonsummers2657 yes lacking crap in your blood that makes you sick. So low HDL numbers in someone who eats a clean Whole Food plant-based diet is not surprising and it's likely that that person is very healthy- at least their cardiovascular system is

Specifically, lacking vital nutrition for excellent body integrity. People don't 'lack' crap, as you know, except satirically/scoffingly.@@optimaldietcoach1705

Protein hunger?

@@ritabutler1951 Yes, protein hunger. Research done at the Charles Perkins Centre of The University of Sydney. I read about their research in SciTechDaily reported by University of Sydney on November 9, 2022. Check it out.

TVP is exposed to hexane in the process of separating out the soy oil from soy beans.

Beef MBA graduates and nothing more. Money can get you anything . One should instead look into veganism and that non-human animals aren't object and suffer greatly just like us human animals. We wouldn't murder humans and specific pets but would easily pay a worker/slave to end some innocent life for our few mins of taste buds and so that we can get "protein" or some imaginary health that can't be obtained on plant based diet despite the largest nutritionist body in usa backing it ?! . Many cultures around the world barely include meat in their food and (meat isn't even food , it's just dead body parts that we can't consume raw or imagine getting it ourself ) . We aren't "carnivores" by any means ,would die easily in wild if not for fruits and growing crops . It's not like meat has some magical properties either. Imo it's just a single food that body isn't having trouble with in short term since there is no fiber and barely any carbs and no "anti-nutrient" either . Absolutely destructive otherwise for our health(mentally and physically) and earth in every possible way. Even If one is ignorant about the reality behind meat they would go mad (as most carnist) by remaining on that diet.. Just stay away from that tribe when you know the truth and as much as possible try to include healthy plant food in your current diet by graudually increasing or as how you feel better. Talk to a good plant based doctor ,countless healthy recipes and info shared by good people and communities across other social platforms . How does a diet consisting of "murd***d body parts" fix in all this is or is even a question is disgusting thought. Even though it might not be disgusting for those who grew up on it not knowing the truth or forced themselves to like it but it's still disgusting stuff if you let a child know the full truth ... With that said, plant based diet isn't perfect either if you don't have the discipline and enough reasons to stick to it. Just need to be compassionate and open minded and try to do what as much as possible so someone doesn't have to die for your laziness. Some transition to it immediately and do well (probably or don't complain like dumb "ex"- vegans and carnists) and for others it might take months/years to reverse the bad stuff(especially treating underlying health issues if any is a must) previous diet did and to increase the good gut microbiome. Though there are cases like genetics(like in case of gluten ,lactose intolerance) where it might not work and as said damaged immune system and disturbed and/or bad microbiome which can be probably be made worse or are more noticable by ingesting variety of plants without knowing what you are doing. And then there is sweet ,processed ,inorganic things ,couple that with sedentary lifestyle ,stress which most can't escape from and you have a recipe for diaster no matter how healthy plants are. There is no magic ofcourse if you see but a lot of work for unhealthy individuals and weak minds fall to the easiest sort term result elimination diet like that keto which they claim "cured" them but they don't go back to plant based stuff again unless ofcourse when they are dying.

I have crohns and the doctors who are pushing WFPB have left those of us with bowel issues out of the loop...We are therefore forced to eat some meat and fish..Of course eliminate processed food

Did you get tested for lipoprotein a which is hereditary?

Do you eat high carbs?

I heard so many times , it is not cholesterol that causes heart disease , body need cholesterol for many function like to make vitamin D . Just keep weight in normal and blood pressure under control , walk 30 minutes a day , stress manage . If diabetic keep under control . These are main things.

Stay away from soy.

Cannabis is the best alternative.

@@sevendeadlychins Thanks! I think you're probably right. 👍

@@Jim_LI can say that as a former alcoholic quitting drinking completely changed my health and my life. I'm 5 years sober. As a cannabis user I find it has almost zero effect on my physical health and a very positive effect on my mental health. Everyone is different, but alcohol is basically poison, while cannabis is a potent, but extremely useful herb. If you haven't tried it, just do your research - and be very careful and moderate. It's not for everyone, but it won't kill you. Alcohol was most definitely killing me.

I’ve read Tequila made from 100% agave is the healthiest spirit you can consume, if you’re going to imbibe. It’s made completely from the Agave plant, which provides a number of health benefits, it has less sugar and fewer calories (64 vs 90/100 for 1 oz compared to other spirits) and because it’s 80 proof, you only have to have 1 or 2 1-oz servings, sipped slowly, to give you that “buzz” you may be craving. Sip it neat, no additives. Another way to drink it is to have a shot glass of homemade tomato-based bloody Mary (called “sangrita” you can Google it) and sip it alongside the shot of tequila. Just make sure the bottle says it’s 100% pure agave.

One of the best ways to get rid of cholesterol is through bowel movements. Beans are one of the best ways to have large bowel movements.

@@annemccarron2281not for many people. Beans cause bloating and gas for many. Too hard to digest.

Listen to them! They are absolutely right! In 3 months I lower my triglycerides! From 244 to 144. In 6 months from 144 to 88! Go and check their programs. These doctors are right!

And Dr. Hyman says coconut milk is okay. He doesn't look as healthy as Dr. Barnard, but he had a lot of heath problems as a younger man.

@@jasper2958 no. I supplement that. On top of from nuts. I'm pretty sure it's the muffins. They're healthy, but do have a fair amount of saturated fat from chocolate. My LDL isn't bad, But I'd like it to be a little lower.

Maybe you need to do more research and stop thinking cholesterol is a bad thing. If you cut out the junk n processed foods, you will see an improvement in health, no matter what type of "diet" you are on

@@eminiscalperpro9729 there's More evidence of cholesterol being bad. Especially if associated with high apob.

Hi max..IKR maybe find a different type of chips ..other then that Awesome test results

You HAVE been lied to. Just keep listening to these podcasts & read books by reputable physicians who advocate WFPB diets.

Listen to Tom Dayspring on The Proof to learn more.

HDL doesn't matter anymore.

@tonycollyweston6182 Thanks! Dr. Dayspring swears by the apo B test, and probably for a good reason. He shoots down all kinds of ratios that others still use as predictors of CV events, but gives his approval (in the absence of an apo B test) to the use of the non-HDL cholesterol level as a reliable predictor of CV events. Others call it a surrogate for the apo B. He calls it the poor man's substitute of the apo B. But the dilemma is that with TC at 144, LDL at 65 and non-HDL at 115 (target 130 or less), what do you do with triglycerides in the range of 192-249? An apo B test will probably confirm what the non-HDL level suggests. But no matter what these markers suggest, the triglyceride level is still high. Given the other markers, the likely event may not be CV but pancreatitis! Either one is a wonderful choice! 😉 Thanks again!

They are quite many plant based recipes on youtube, for example pickuplime youtube channel😊😊❤

Try carnivore

R u eating fats, salts & oils ?

Who do u work for ? Animal agriculture ?

I can definitely relate to your experience, Betzib8021! I've also been vegan for 10 years and had a heart attack last summer. My main weakness has been sweets, a sedentary job and stress. You can still eat a lot of junk as a vegan. You have to be a clean vegan and adopt other healthy lifestyle habits.

What is meaning of vegitarian diet ,I saw the one of my relation on vegetarian diet ,she had cholesterol,pressures and later dementia

What about anti nutrients like lectins,gluten,And phytric acid ,high omega 6 ,those are very bad.😊

@@johnnysco I am a clean vegan. I never cheat. My only sweets are some fruits. I am so sorry that happened to you. I understand.

KETO & INTERMITTENT FASTING. WITH OCCASIONAL WATER FASTING.❤❤❤❤

listen to Dr. Barnard and don't do keto!

Trolls confuse because profits are in not changing. We eat like Barnard says. We are healthy 67 and 75y.o. without medication for chronic diseases.

???

That's like cutting down smoking to one day a week.

@@JeffC-fq1be no it really is not.

@@jeremyleonbarlow Not the the exact same as smoking, but same concept.

@@JeffC-fq1be my thoughts are if Ralph Nader has concerns about the 2 things lacking from a vegan diet ie B12 and Omega-3s and he supplements, that 1 meal a week with 2 servings of salmon which makes enough of those elements available to you in one meal a week in the most bioavailable way, is not going to hurt you. I only know those are Ralph's concerns because we share a mutual friend. I figure Ralph is one of the smartest and healthiest people at his advanced age I am aware of so, I am going to address the one weakness of the vegan diet with one meal a week that fixes those deficiencies.

@@jeremyleonbarlow Eating foods with saturated fat once a week is better than every day, that's for sure. The same with palm oil. I doubt that Dr. Neal would think it's a good idea. I'll stick with taking B12 every two days.

I'm with you. Went strict WFPB 6 years ago. 4 years in I was in the hospital getting another heart stint. I am not overweight, do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, and an avid cyclist. I am at my wits end.

@@Hopeinthee Do you eat high carbs - even if they are healthy? I think high carbs can be a problem and am now trying to lower mine.

@@realrosesforever3847 NO I eat carbs, but primarily whole grains and very little processed foods. I cook all the time it seems like.

See if you can check with a dietician. Maybe they can look at your diet see if there's areas that can be improved to improve your lipids. Cut out the oils and fats, if you haven't done that already and see what happens. I know people may scream at me hear but try adding some good quality oily fish like salmon and tuna and sardines and see what happens after 3 months. All the research I've done it looks like the Mediterranean diet which is basically vegetarian with fish improves those lipids better than strict vegetarian for some people. @annfrank6488

Hi Angie..just saw your comment...maybe watch your carb intake..I eat to many carbs I have to watch it... it raises my blood sugar too high get yourself a glucose meter very affordable great tool...

Beans, rice and potatoes are definitely ok 😊

Just watch the quantities. If you want to be vegan, most of your diet should be non-starchy vegetables. Ideally, you should eat (depending on your size) 8 to 10 cups of vegetables a day.

Eat less processed food and exercise more. Vegan doesn't mean healthy.

You can't expect the diet to do it all. Some physicians believe that sugar causes elevated cholesterol. Get rid of all sugar in your diet and engage in at least 45 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at least 3 times a week!

Don’t eat ANY seed oils. Eat meat. This diet may not be for you. I was 15 years vegan and health declined until I recently went carnivores. So much better. We all have different body chemistries and microbiomes.

Follow the money and you will find the answer, who publish what and paid by whom.

yesssss

True 100% confused. One dr said one thing n another said the opposite wtf.

So confusing. Maybe we should try each one for two weeks and see what happens LOL.

I think you have to experiment with yourself. I honestly believe some diets work well for some people & other diets work better for others. Being in a state of ketosis isn't bad, but most of the time you should do it through fasting.

Cut out sugar in coke or anywhere else. Eat whole food plant based. No oil. Best I can offer.

You just have to instill discipline into your life. It takes courage and a made up mind to do it. You CAN do this!!!

Get your liver checked for nafld.

See a cardiologist so that the cause can be pinpointed. Then the solution can be clear.

Eat a little wild caught salmon, sardines, grass fed beef. No reason to not include a little of these foods in your diet.

Always stay well hydrated so much so that your urine barely has any color. I've almost passed out a couple of times from dehydration but never felt thirsty.

@@annemccarron2281 yes. It happened to my daughter. She barely drinks water.

The title is not misleading. Eating healthy can save your life from early death. That's what they Podcaster are talking about!

Then there's the lectins and gluten - whew!!!! Confusing.

You would think that is self-evident by even moderately educated people.

Explain

And yet it didn't cause a panic

Thank you!
