Last year, I moved 900 miles south to take care of my elderly parents, both 90 years old, living on fast food since my mama was diagnosed with dementia in 2020. I asked them to try three - just THREE - WFPB meals a week. Today, my dad’s cardiologist took him OFF his high blood pressure meds and asked what he was going differently! I season their meals with WYW blends and they love it!!! Thank you for giving me more time with my Mama and Daddy!! ❤❤❤

I have been guilty of this overcomplicating and I found it de-motivating because it seemed too hard. I now make basic, plain meals: rice or potatoes with veggies and beans or a soup. A good sauce either home made or store bought can work wonders. So stress reducing. Thank you for this video.

I am new to the plant based idea. My husband was at the ER yesterday with chest pain and crazy high blood pressure. We need to do this, but have been turned off by the time consuming recipes. Just found you this morning! Perfect timing! Wish us luck- here we go! Definitely going to start following your channel.and looking at your recipes.

I typed in “wfpb if you're struggling” and I found this video. I’ve been doing wfpb for a week and didn’t think I’d be able to keep it up. Thank you SO much for this video. I completely agree with everything you’re saying!!! Felt I had to be freaking perfect, cook elaborate meals and everything. I just want to EAT, food has never been my thing, I have better stuff to do. I felt like it was literally taking over my life and I had to become a food-lover and be a freaking chef. I’m buying your freaking book if you have one! Thank you again for making this video. My resolve was crumbling. I just want to feel better and eat healthier.

Being in Dr McDougall’s camp is what brought me to your channel for what to eat inspiration. I absolutely love Dillon’s freestyle cooking. Back when i was eating meat, i was super gourmet in my cooking but led me to cancer. When i heard dr McDougall said just eat starch, veggies & fruit, i went “halleluyah, i can finally eat”. There were times i’m just too lazy to cook or eat to the point that i just eat steamed potatoes alternating it with sweet potato or cassava for 2 months straight. Sometimes it’s not being lazy to cook but rather too lazy to think of what to cook. Eating whole plant food simply makes life easier.

I love plants and I love your rants! Nobody’s perfect; stop the guilt! I’ve tried twice before but following your principles has allowed me to succeed on the third try. Thanks!

100%. Last night we ate frozen edamame, brown rice and sliced vegetables for dinner, with some store bought hummus and salsa. I reminded my kids that some meals are just B meals and that's fine.

I’ve been making vegan meals since 2006. Only started getting into wfpb fairly recently. The only fancy gadgets I used FOR YEARS was a $20 black and decker food processor and a nutribullet. I will say I finally purchased a used instapot about 3 years ago and a vitamix about the same time. Those 2 wonderful investment pieces really did take it to another level but I did fine without those items for about 13 years. A good knife and a sharpener goes a long way!

I am 71 years old & just starting down this WFPB path. I was becoming overwhelmed by the beautiful perfect complicated labor intensive recipes & meals I was watching on other channels. Listening to you was such a relief - thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't wait to watch more.

I truly love everything about Dillon, Reebs and this channel. They speak to me- I'm not a purist, not a perfectionist, not a chef and don't have a lot of time. I'm at the beginning of my journey into WFPB eating and this channel has relieved my anxiety and shown me how easy it can be to make delicious, easy meals. Plus Dillon cracks me up. Thank you Well Your World!

You nail these sit down videos every time! Thanks, Dillon!

This guy is an absolute life saver! I found him when I was struggling to deal with a couple of high blood pressure readings and an overzealous GP insisting on medication. Although I was a keen cook, I found some of the over-complicated and slightly judgmental plant based videos off-putting. Dillon’s irreverent approach was a welcome antidote to that and helped me to adopt this new lifestyle and ultimately return to full health. I can’t say I’m 100% plant-based now but I’ve incorporated a lot of what I learned into a healthy, Mediterranean diet which suits me and my lifestyle. Thank you Dillon for all that you do.

Dillon asks no permission to tell it like it is. He just does!

I like what Dr. McDougall says, "Choose a starch, and add vegis." I use some fruit like berries. Love a bowl of grains with blueberries and soy milk, but also love not having to be rigid about having certain things. I often have brown rice, and several kinds of potatoes cooked up and waiting for me in the fridge. I often use frozen. Even when I heat up some combo, I top off with some beans, and greens from the freezer. It helps on those, "don't wanna cook," days. Thanks for the reminder and encouragement. You're a peach!

Just saw this !!! Sooooo thankful !!! Am 72, went Vegan in 2019... miraculously lost 67 lbs !!! Psoriasis cleared up, not Heart Diabetes But, Not Giving Up !!! Was just hard all the seeing all the sites that seem complicated . I really don't want to do a lot of 'complicated' cooking anymore. So, I was kind of falling away This looks is great !!! My Answer !!! Thank You !!!!!🙂

wow, you said exactly what I needed to hear. I am struggling with the food being a party. I am vegan for 5 year now been vegetarian for 15 before that. I recently suffered from Afib and had to be put on anticoagulant and beta blocker because that is what they always do to prevent a stroke. So I am now following dr Esselstyn way of eating with no salt and no oil of any kind ( nuts included) . Of course I also take dr Greger's tips and dr Furhman. I was seriously depressed for the first few weeks but I am now getting used to it. And one of the biggest thing is that, exactly what you said : food is not a party, food is sustenance. You eat because you have to feed your body. A complete mind change. Very difficult for this 62 year old. What helps me is to eat mostly the same meal at night. My soups at lunch time are always different but my suppers are mainly the same. And even there, all three doctors don't agree on everything, no nuts, yes nuts, no seeds, yes seeds, no potatoes, yes potatoes, no tofu, yes tofu. At one point, I think you really have to do what is best for you. To stick with it. Thank you once again Dillon.

I moved to US from India 4 years back and I've interacted with many people who are trying to go plant based. I don't know why they find it so difficult. I've been a vegetarian my entire life and so did my parents and my grandparents and many generations behind as well. It's only since I came here did I learn about vegan meats and stuff back home in india we ate beans rice veggies and many other yummy stuff. 😋

Pet all the dogs at the Farmers Market LMAO 🤣 this used to be me, but not anymore. I’m much happier 👏🏻 ❤more plant rants please 🙏🏻 😅

Not going to lie-I was struggling to cook WFPB meals, for all the reasons Dillon mentioned. And then Dillon popped up on my KZfaq channel. I was home free after that first video. Dillon, you cook like I do...don't have this, well throw in that, it is all good. Heat it and eat it. Then go do something fun. As an "older" person, I do not want to waste time in the kitchen. This girl is retired and wants to have fun🤣. And the hubby is liking it too.

This is an important message for families transitioning plant based. Fill their bellies with healthy food & don't overcomplicate it. That can literally be a microwave pouch of precooked rice with a can of beans over it. Shortcuts are okay. Stress is deadly, so we shouldn't increase stress while trying to eat for health.

Frozen vegetables are picked fresh and immediately frozen. Some of the fresh foods have been picked early and hauled long distances. Both are fine. Sometimes frozen is better. Great message! I want in and out of my kitchen with a healthy meal for my family!

God bless you Dillon for putting yourself out there on Social Media. So sad how you are critized for such minor things. Your videos have helped so many folks transitioning to this lifestyle. I am in your camp.😊

Take a bow, Dillon - a worthwhile and important "plant rant" that's always good to be reminded of.

I love when you do these plant rants. Keeping it simple. I needed this.

Thank you. This way of eating is not a religion..it's a healthy choice..you are speaking health. Thank you for sharing your wisdom

I don't do overcomplicated recipes and focus on recipes that take 30 minutes or less if it takes longer than 45 minutes to make I probably won't make it. Another excellent video Dillion and good advice & tips for avoiding being overcomplicated with a vegan Wfpb diet. Love 🥰 the video.

Thank you so much for this video. It’s encouraging me to return on a whole food plant based diet. I was wfpb for 18 months but I was struggling to find out what eating, I hate cooking and I was trying to make different recipes every day. At the end, I was so drained that I gave up and returned to a unhealthy diet because it was so complicated for me.

Your approach is such a breath of fresh air for me, Dillon! Thank you ever so much for making it okay for me to NOT be PERFECT. And to not have to do my G-Bombs each and every day! Yes, it is like a weight we carry. And I love the simplicity and ease you promote. How life in the kitchen should be easy and fun. I totally resonate with your approach! I look forward to being a part of your channel now. Thank you again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! So very refreshing to hear someone say that everything does not need to be so complicated in order to eat healthy! Much appreciation to you for saying this! I just subscribed to your channel because of this video! Thanks again!

So true. One of my better investments has been an Insta-pot, actually only paid $39. for Best Buy’s model and I love it! Batch cooking at least for a couple meals, especially when planning to eat potatoes is one of the easiest. Throwing a meal together in less than 15 minutes has been so easy. I do love flavors and spice just about every dish I make, a once boring flavor becomes that much more delicious. Frozen vegetables are a must keep in the freezer so when the fresh runs out you still have veggies. They’re also great for creating quick meals, so easy! And forget about how much cleaner a kitchen is when you don’t have animal fat and matter splashing all over your pots, pans, dishes and sink! Eat for Life 🌟

Thank you so very much for this video. It’s so good to hear someone else talk about making things easy! Great video!

Love your work - great video & spot on

You really clear the picture thanks for making it simple!

What works for me is making big quantities and freezing whatever I won't eat within 3 days. A big pan of vegebles and sprouted mungbeans or lentils. Or hummus, or vegetable bread, etc. Works great. I know that when I get home tired and hungry and there is nothing ready I'll eat things I shoudn't. This is better. 😊

ThNknyou SO much for the video and information!

Thank you! I totally love your way of cooking and explaining it all! 🥰

Love this! My thoughts completly,

Love, love, love this! Great reminder to just keep it simple!! Thanks Dillon.
