At the age of 80, Al Schmidt had end stage coronary artery disease and was a “cardiac cripple.” After a lifetime on the standard American diet, he went from being a semi-active senior to being housebound by pain and fear. With the aid of three books, he embarked on a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle that drastically improved his health and well-being. He has spent the last five and a half years telling anyone who would listen (and some who wouldn’t) about the amazing healing effects of a WFPB lifestyle, which helped him to overcome heart disease, high cholesterol, poor kidney function, and he even lost some weight. He has told his incredible story to classes at the Renaissance Society at Sacramento State, the Sacramento VegFest, and at Kaiser Permanente. He has also appeared on Chef AJ’s KZfaq show. His lighthearted attitude and amazing results will inspire and motivate you. His journey was not easy, but he says that if at 80 he could do it, anyone can.
Losing weight is hard for many people, and keeping it off can be even more challenging. Following a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) way of eating, however, could hold the key to finally being successful. Weight Loss With Plants, hosted by Sharme Ridley, EdS, is a biweekly video series that showcases everyday people who have found success through the power of plants. Each episode will introduce to you someone who has triumphed over struggles with obesity and associated health issues. Prepare to be inspired.

I feel so grateful to have found this way of eating last year at the age of 52, obese but not on medication. Listening to people like Esther and Al really motivates and inspires me. I have the chance to reverse the damage and improve the outcome. Thank you to those that continue to inspire and to the doctors and others who give us the information. I'm listening!

I don't understand how we can be healthy and how our brains and other organs can function with absolutely no fat. There are such things as good healthy fats like evoo and avocado and nuts when used sparingly. If our brains are made of a good amount of fat and other organs as well, how can we be healthy without supplying that good fat to our organs? Just like water. Our bodies are like 90% water or something, and we know we need to drink a lot of water or we get dehydrated. Which I believe is most Americans problems besides being couch potatoes is dehydration which causes so many illnesses and disease according to many experts. So I don't get how we can be healthy with absolutely no fat at all. That doesn't seem logical because we are humans who have ancestors that go back to caveman days who ate little else but meat and berries and fish and all the foods this diet says is bad for us. I don't know 8f I think this is healthy for a normal person. But it may be a life saving diet for those who are nearly dead from blocked arteries and other problems but that is not the majority.
