How do you gauge how much to eat? You’ve mentioned other recipes as not conducive to weight loss (like when recipe testing), but have also said the good thing about WFPB is that you don’t need to count calories or restrict amounts. Hummus is calorie-dense so you must limit the amount, for example. Thank you for this video, for always being your honest selves, and for sharing all these delicious recipes!

@gelbsucht947 3 жыл бұрын

Quite honestly, I think five different dishes in a week is pretty good for people with jobs, families and busy lives who are not professional chefs, and as long as you’re eating plants, it doesn’t matter too much which ones. People living in areas of the world with large numbers of centenarians usually have diets that consist principally of fresh and locally grown produce but are not necessarily particularly varied. Herbs and spices are what turn potentially bland mush into a party in your mouth, as opposed to the oil, salt and sugar we can get so hooked on.

I loved this video and just want to say how much I loved the chili! I made it for some friends and we all loved it. Even my friend who claimed not to be a chili fan... I was suspicious of the Cinnamon in a chili, but it wasn’t overpowering and added a lot of flavor. I’ll be using this again. Also, with the salad, I never thought of using hummus for salad dressing... way good. Thanks so much for making these delicious recipes and sharing them.

Thanks for sharing, as always, and your honesty. We all have these periodic struggles and need to reset. As in ME! My GF isn’t WFPB no-oil but I do all the cooking so she cheerfully eats what I give her. EVERYTIME I try out one of Brian’s recipes she raves about how much she likes it. So, we’ll be jumping on to the sensible lunch and big salad for dinner train again. :)

You've inspired me to try again. I've been mostly vegetarian for decades but was lured into years of off-and-on Keto/Paleo, and always gained the weight back. I just couldn't get into cooking since my husband died. I'm 67, and the older you get, the harder it is to lose weight. But, I'm making progress. I went off the wagon over Thanksgiving, but weighed myself this morning, and am thrilled that I hadn't gained any weight! Christmas time may be another story, but I'll keep at it. Thanks for being real about the ups and downs.

@unemployable1747 3 жыл бұрын

Can you talk about some of the challenges that have kept you from losing weight. Like more than refined carbs or added fat in food. I know I binge hard. Like I can house 2,000+ calories to my face during a late night snack. Your Potato diet videos from 2 years ago have help me a lot to deal with that. It would be nice to hear what some of your struggles have been.

Loved this! I made the chili last night. Funny story my husband has told me since we met (over 10 years ago) that he’s allergic to beans, but last year his mom called him out at dinner saying he’s not. Turns out he just doesn’t like them. He absolutely loves your chili! He tells everyone about how awesome your chili is too. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!

I hate salad. Anytime I start a diet that requires me to eat salad I stick to it about 2 days (maybe 3). However, I love soup! One cookbook gave a definition of soup: a cooked salad. (c: I have soup every day, sometimes twice a day. One of them is very brothy (as opposed to creamy), and I always put a big handful of spinach in the bowl before adding the soup. So far, it's working for me.
