I don't eat breakfast, don't feel hungry. So the first meal of the day is lunch: Bowl of blueberries, 2 stewed prunes plus one apricot, with juice; to this I add ground flaxseeds/sesame seeds/sunflower seeds/ pumpkin seeds and flaked almonds. Salad with rocket (arugula), green lentils and red kidney beans - dressing is homemade hummus, along with garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, ground black pepper and nutritional yeast. Slice of homemade wholemeal bread with yeast extract and peanut butter, slices of tomatoes. Followed by half a banana with a Medjool date. I also make a smoothy with kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, dates, soya milk. I'm 86, been vegan for 20 years, do 3 or 4 ultra marathons a year (11 so far since Covid), on no meds - and living my best life!

This is exactly the advice I give people all the time and it’s because of these experts who have gotten the information from sources where they have been evaluated. This is help to my hobby of bodybuilding extremely. At 73 all of the things she said in the video come in to play every day. Not only do I not get muscle loss I get gains at my age.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

LOL, I am only 70, so maybe I am just not old enough yet that my appetite drops. I just ate two large burritos with black beans, brown rice, avocado and homemade salsa - and I am still a bit hungry. Better have that cuppa coffee and a slice of homemade bread.

If Ms. Davis is working on a book for plant-based seniors, please tell her that a chapter on weight loss in this population would be really helpful. It's really hard to maintain a calorie deficit and get proper nutrition at this stage of life.

Intermittent fasting helped me a lot this past year. I have an 8 hour feeding window, with 1 or 2 veggie/fruit snacks, and my 2 meals. Mastering Diabetes has been helpful too, though I don't have diabetes. Been going to the gym in the last year as well, with lifting weights. I've lost 30 lbs.

Excellent discussion for senior living. I'm a 85 yr.old plant based eater. I walk 6 or 7 days a week and do strength training twice a week.

Good for you!! Encourages me to keep on!!

I’m 72 been on mostly a WFPB diet for 7 years now. Primarily to reverse my diabetes and will continue till my last day. Have no problem with protein intake along with my weight lifting for strength gain. All major compound lifts and pull ups. Seniors don’t need animal products for protein I consume different soy products daily.

I just love how comprehensive this lady is with her information.

Wow, I really needed to hear this!!🙌🏼 So many plant doctors say protein is not an issue. It totally is!! You can get away with a lot when you’re young like trying to live on fruit.😉 Thank you both!!🙏🏻❤️❤️

Reminds me of what Mindy Pelz said, your body is trying to keep you alive, so we need to give it what it needs to repair itself.

Wow! Great information from Brenda. I ordered her book. I have often thought something was missing from my plant based diet. She hit on several key things I've noticed. Now I have some information that can actually help heal my body. Thanks Chuck for bringing her info to us!!

Thanks how lucky you are to be at that convention. Chuck, we really appreciate you. Thanks for all you do for the community.

Love listening to Brenda ❤

She is the very best!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Thankyou Chuck for having Brenda Davis on your show… I believe she is one of the premier authorities on WFPB eating..along with just being an all out nice and caring lady…

Thank you for this information. I am 64 soon to be 65. And for the last year have seen a huge difference in my energy and weight. Now I see I need to tweet my diet to a bit more protein. Thank you for remembering us seniors.

Brenda looks so youthful and healthy! Thanks for all the great info.

Chuck you always ask the questions I have in my mind! You are a wonderful WONDERFUL, masterful interviewer. Sincere thank you.

Awesome! I'm 65 years young, 33+ years whole foods vegan, calisthenics fit, on no meds, PEDs, TRT and all my parts work. Make sure to get on an exercise program that you can stick with for life. It's almost as crucial as eating whole plant foods.

Great to see Brenda Davis! Enjoyed the show. Also, what a suit Chuck! ❤

Brenda Davis a Rock Star ⭐️

that gives me so much inspiration! Thank very much mss Davis!!

Just love Brenda Davis, I bought her book when I was starting out on the WFPB journey. Such a lovely down to earth lady ❤

Always great to hear Brenda Davis perspective. Great interview, Chuck!

Love this!❤

Love your smoking 💜. Nice to see Brenda Davis on your show.... 👍🙏

Thanks for this.

I've been whole food plant based for ten years and feel amazing at 67. Now my goal is to stay healthy to keep myself out of the hospital and nursing homes because of the terrible food they serve 😆

Thank you for sharing. I lost 120 pounds thanks to a Plant Based Diet. My lab results are 👍👍

71 years of age. Parents made me eat meat and drink milk when I was a kid. At age 66 I evolved into Type 1 (Insulin Dependent). My body kept fighting if off. Processed foods - junk foods. Animal products won. Learned from a natural Dr. who insisted I do a Food Allergy Test that Casein in Milk was causing Inflation. I could go on and on. Bottom line - Now I say: The Way I Eat cuz I don't like the word Diet. 71 on the go with a Healthy Way of Eating to go along with my energy. Research Research Research best words I heard from a nurse. My goal is to NOT let clueless Dr.s destroy me. Now I have a Dr. who will listen to ME and not try to force me on Drugs :-) YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO TURN YOURSELF/HEALTH AROUND.

Thank you for this information. I'm a senior (age 69) and am glad to get the information about protein. However, I don't understand the killigrams and grams thing. If someone could explain it in ounces, cups, tablespoons, teaspoons....something we Americans understand, I'd appreciate it. How much protein do I need in a day?

How true! Move, move, move! A f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c speaker. 🚶🚶🏊‍♀🏊‍♀ 😊😊

So, as the conclusion I came to in recent years is that Fruit is more important the older a person becomes, low calorie, extremely easy to digest and absorb nutrients, and nutrient dense!. Also much less hassle to grow & harvest than Veg! 🌻✊🏽🌎

It's a bit of a mind f when greger says to keep it low. We have to figure out keeping it high enough without going too high.

Greger uses study data. BD bases her "protein" guess on bean feeding annecdotes. Bottleneck for hair, skin, bloating/intestine specifically could be more about choline, sphingolipids etc. in the end. (See also my other comment)

21:22 - 'improving skin, hair, bloating .. with little more protein" with beans etc.: Doubt protein until same effects are shown with extracts. Could be more about choline, which is high in those foods, otherwise scarce in vegans, and specifically critical for those tissues. Mushrooms are great too...

Enzymes are available in supplement form to aid digestion for folks over, say, 60.

I would love to know the answer to how many kg? For the overweight body OR the body weight you are aiming for? After gastric bypass there is really a focus on protein. Why not before?

@Debitandcredit77 - If you look at p. 346 (second-last paragraph) of _Becoming Vegan: Comprehensive Edition_ (Summertown TN: Book Publishing Company, 2014) by Brenda Davis & Vesanto Melina, you'll see the answers to your first two questions. After laying out general recommendations for adults (both younger and older), the authors write this: "Because this recommendation is based on a healthy weight, an overweight person of any age should use his or her healthy body weight to calculate the desired protein intakes (see table 12.1 on page 363)." I hope you find this information helpful. Btw, @Debitandcredit77, in reference to your last question, it seems to me (from having watched a few television programs about gastric bypass) that there _is_ a "focus on protein" before gastric bypass surgery as well as after. Invariably, though, the type of protein prescribed is animal- rather than plant-based. Also noteworthy is the fact that several of the patients end up with severe constipation, even to the point of experiencing bowel obstruction-clearly (at least to all of us who eat a plant-based diet), the important lesson to be learned is this: No fiber = no good! People-including their bariatric surgeons-who make a habit of scarfing down fiberless animal-based substances have not learned that lesson. Too, too bad for them.

Curiousity makes me wonder if protein could be added to cookie recipes? Most of the seniors I know seldom pass up a cookie with their coffee or tea.

Really protein the bottleck? Guess the effects she talked about are more due to choline, which is also high in those added beans etc. (See my other comment.) Experiments with protein extract vs choline extract .. could highlight the actual bottleneck factor(s). Amino acid status can be measured w blood tests.

The sugar and gluten in cookies is poison! Walk away from the junk food and just eat fresh fruits and veggies and nuts and seeds and berries and melons and lentils and beans.

You don't absorb all of the protein on a plant based diet because of the fiber and then even less as you get older so how much of an allowance should you make for that. Maybe she can answer that next time.
