Guys please tell me how much potatoes for each meal. I'm very obese/ muscular and have been wfpb for only 10 days. I'm trying hard but not losing weight yet.

@@friedsam29 Hi James. Welcome to WFPB living! I've lost another 12 pounds since writing my initial comment 5 months ago and began losing weight almost a year ago. Be patient and kind with yourself as you move thru your own weight loss journey; it's not a quick fix but a complete lifestyle reboot. I pretty much eat a hybrid of Dr McDougall's and Dr. Esselstyn's protocols. I eat zero processed foods, so no flours, salt, oil, sugar, and alcohol. Most of my meals are built around potatoes or sweet potatoes with my plate being 50% starch (potato, beans, grains) and 50% non-starchy veg. I eat until I'm satiated and this was a feeling that I needed to rediscover. I have found creating a community of others who are also WFPB to be the most supportive. Derek's channel and the folks in the comments are one of the pieces of my community. All the best, James.

Another hack to make your bananas ripen faster is to put them next to some apples. Apples emit a gas that causes fruit to ripen faster, especially if you put the apple and bananas together in a sealed bag, or poke a hole in the apple. Hence the reasoning behind the saying “one bad apple ruins the whole bunch.” 🍎 This also works for ripening avocados. 🥑 Also, i love oatmeal and chickpeas. They both have that flavor that is paradoxically sweet and savory at the same time. They are a match made in heaven i swear. 😋

Fantastic list! So many of these are on my shopping list every week because of all the reasons you listed. Definitely don't go a single day without bananas. Cheap, tasty, and they take smoothies to the next level.

Do you ever eat savoury oats? I definitely associate oats as being either sweet or slightly plain with cinnamon. But some people eat them with savoury ingredients and flavours.

For those who it may interest, raisins are an incredibly calorie dense fruit also, with a good iron content. You can eat a pound or so of raisins, actually maybe even less, and it is 1400 calories or so. Next time you're in the store check the raisin box and be amazed.

Raisins are healthy to eat after being soaked

It’s less stress on the digestive system when they are soaked. Roasted nuts are not healthy either

Such a simple video Derek- brilliant. Simple choices are so often the best. I am currently a super busy mum doing medical training and it’s tough to get good nutrition in a hospital setting believe it or not. Keeping things simple and getting enough calories quickly really helps keep me fuelled :) I’ve learned so much from you Derek..thanks for staying so passionate. Hoping to be a plant based doctor when I qualify 👍🙏 Keep up the great work!

I am a chemist and this whole GMO-thing gets misunderstood so often which just freaks me out, here's the facts: A plant, let's take corn, growing wildly may or may not contain certain compounds that cause allergies or do damage to you in general. The probability it doesn't (for any humanbeing consuming it like rare side effects on a drug) is very low. If you wanna do GMO you gotta do a ton of research, toxilogy, in vitro and in vivo experiments and clinical trials that take ages, mostly over ten years and if it turns out to not do damage to anybody on a large scale you will eventually be allowed to grow it. Given how many people on this earth are dying because they don't get enough food it is our moral and should be our legal obligation to not have a problem with GMO. After all, the probability that it does harm to you is lower than with "natural" plants.

@@amazingone1234 GMO and organic don't always go together and it's not true to believe that every non-organic food is too high in toxines. It often depends on how the food gets sprayed, also not every insecticide is toxic (or as toxic as others), sometimes (mostly) when people worry about toxines it is actually not even possible for your body to metabolise them in a harmful way or (more often, like with PTFE for example) the compound is too stable to even react with anything. All I'm trying to say is: If it makes you worry less and you wanna be a 100% sure that nothing critical happens with your system due to pesticides, go buy organic. But to be honest: In most cases it makes sense to actually check on whether there's a reason to be worried (I'm not saying there never is). Also, I was just talking about why it makes no sense to worry about GMO as GMO and not as potentially too high in pesticides, cause that's what most people don't even care about when it's about genetically modified stuff. Hope my explanation was clear...
