Too Rich... that's a term no one uses anymore! I'm so glad you've revived it. I grew up with my Grandma using that term for foods that were a treat...not the food you eat every day. She lived to be 103.

Avoid the process foods and focus on wfpb. Avoid the unholy trinity: Sugar. Oil. Salt. Your simple and tasty recipes make it easy to enjoy and therefore making wfpb lifestyle sustainable. Thank you for another great video. Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️.

Thanks for the comments about meds. I'm in my mid-sixties and take nothing. I'm not saying there aren't people who legit need meds. I'm just agreeing that we don't all need to be on something.

Nicely said Dillion! Congratulations on the new wee one, the world can use another plant based eater🤗

I needed this reminder, so thanks much! I have shown over the last 6 months that you can eat 99% vegan (have eaten a few things my wife made that had dairy) and still gain weight (about 15 pounds). Several years ago after I first read The Chine Study I ate almost perfectly for about 6 months, and have not done that well again since then. At 62, I'm too old to play these games. Has to be 100% WFPB with my family history. This will be my go-to KZread channel.

Hey, Dillon! I appreciate that you continue to make videos on the topic of calorie density to remind us again that the solution to weight loss and good health is a simple concept. All one needs is the desire and the discipline to make the change and stick with it. Thanks for all you & Reebs do. As someone who has been dealing with cancer, It’s certainly made a difference in my life.

I bought everything that you can think of see you see any needs one it becomes. I am even giving up eggs and I have eaten for eight years. Even salmon I’ve given up.

Yes! 💯💯💯 I hope one day soon we will see mainstream news/media wake up to this school of thought and stop pushing the ‘you need meat and dairy, you need xx protein, carbs are bad, etc.’ THIS is what will make us healthy, this is the ethical way to eat, and this is globally sustainable. I’m so thankful for you and the many others who are out there sharing what is at the moment an unpopular truth. It’s hard work, swimming against the tide. Thank you!!🌱🌎💚☮️🦋🍄

I totally believe in this way of eating. I've eaten WFP for 8 years with very few slips (like a little salt and sugar in a few store bought vegan foods). But still can't get the weight off. Went to True North, lost 13 pounds, bought your books, being much stricter about being SOS free, still struggling. I know this is the right way to eat, I just haven't seen the success you have had. I'm much older than you, much shorter than you. I'm happy that at least I take no meds. Congratulations on expecting your second son! That's wonderful!

Such great advice. I have struggled for 6 months to continue losing weight at the rate I initially lost on the WFPB program only to realize after looking at your free PDF why - I have been eating too many of the dry carbs each day. Once I cut back and started eating more veggies, etc the pounds started to melt off right away. Such good advice. Thank you!

Great job!

I recently let myself gain 15 pounds, because I was simply eating a diet too high in caloric density. I'd gotten into the habit of eating these HUGE meals of chickpeas, and/or beans cooked nice and thick, whole wheat pasta, and I was sort of skimping on my raw veggies and fruit. So, the density of my diet was around 700 calories per pound, and I was adding tons of these delicious salt-free spice blends and lemon pepper, and vinegars, which was putting me close _enough_ to Pleasure Trap-territory, to gain weight. So....I simply made one change. I added 3 pounds of non-starchy vegetables to my daily diet. I almost instantly started losing weight, half a pound a day, without even trying. My weight peaked out at 185 pounds a week ago, and I'm 178 today. Now, some of that is water weight, and I figure that about half of it is actual bodyfat loss. My goal weight is 165, by the way;) I'm not hungry AT ALL, in fact quite stuffed! Losing that little bit of excess weight, with only as much effort as cooking up a couple heads of red cabbage every afternoon.

Hah! I love Dillon's plant rants. Thank you thank you thank you for again reiterating NOT to overcomplicate things. You are so right that it is definitely easy to get bogged down in trying to be perfect about the food.

I watch a number of whole-foods, vegan KZreadrs, and the two Well Your World hosts are probably the closest to my own philosophy and how I eat. I think Well Your World is bit more on the starch emphasis like Dr. John McDougall, whereas I am a bit more on the Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn side, meaning I lean more toward veggies being of greater quantity but still making sure I have some sort of starch in there so that I fill up. But whatever, we both have starches and veggies on our plate at all times. I also think that's fantastic advice about not worrying about all those crazy details like eating one thing first before you eat everything else, or combining one specific veggie with another, and so on and so on. Plus, like Well Your World, I could care less when I die; I have no control over that; when it happens, it happens. But I do care that while I have to live on this planet, I don't want to be paralyzed due to a stroke, or I don't want to have to inject myself multiple times per day with insulin, or I don't want to have to be on any medications. And that's all stuff I (all of us) have control over. 😃

Thank you both for for your ongoing videos to help us survive in this world of over processed foods ! Sometimes when I’m in the Grocery store, I almost feel like I’m having a panic attack ! Sounds crazy, but I can’t wait to get out of there ! There’s junk food in every isle and around every corner ! I grew up a vegetarian and WPBF 3 years ago. I’m not perfect, but your videos will help get me there ! ❤

I bought Chia seeds, walnuts becomes. I’ve given all my eggs that I’ve eaten for years even salmon I’ve given up and it’s not easy I want to eat healthier.

Such a great “head shaker”! Thanks, Dillon, we definitely need to be reminded of this! So easy to slip into the gutter!! These videos keep us on the right side of things!!!! YEAH!

Love your approach. It always helps me get back on the wagon. Thanks!

Thanks to you both for your dedication and hard work! I cannot wait for the arrival of your second baby! Love watching you guys and your growing family. I've been maintaining my weight loss for nearly 7 years now through my 50's and 60's, as a vegan following the calorie density method. I'm always satisfied, never feel deprived. Its so much easier than all the previous weight loss attempts I tried with other fad diets when I was consuming Standard American food. I especially don't miss all the decades of chronic recurring illnesses either. Eating whole plant food has truly changed my life in miraculous ways. Its a life style I will take to my grave! Thanks for all the awesome videos. Love your recipes. 🥰

Thank you for this. Such a well-explained and attractive pdf. I will be referring to this frequently. Wishing you and Reebs all the best.

I tried. Really tried. For 5 years I ate 100% WFPB and got SO BORED with the bland, unfulfilling foods. I stuffed myself with salads, complex carbs (brown rice, potatoes, etc). I got sick and tired of complex recipes and meal prep for myself. I got tired of not being able to go out with my friends and family and enjoy a meal out. In order to find foods I truly enjoyed eating, I HAD to add salt/oil/sugars to them. Not having a supportive family didn't help. I initially lost 70 pounds and was happy with the weight loss and how I "felt", but I missed delicious rich food so much I couldn't stick with it. I'm back where I started. I was/am super jealous of people who lost their cravings for things like cheese and dairy. I never lost it. If it were legal, I would've hurt someone for a slice of cheddar or a blue cheese crumble on my salads! No, "vegan cheese" doesn't taste like the real thing - and I couldn't try the nut varieties due to allergies. Was never much of a snacker or sweets lover. My only real cravings (outside of dairy) were for chips/salsa. I've had the oil free corn tortillas. Didn't like them but I ate them. I've eaten so many potatoes now that they make me ill to even look at "plain." People who say things like "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" are those types who eat to live, but I live to eat. My father was one of those - he used to say he wished he could just take a pill to get his nutritional needs met because the man just hated to take time to enjoy a meal. My mom and I were the opposite. I did find a love for seitan and tofu and a wider variety of veggies, but I've given up WFPB. I just couldn't make it work for me.

Have you researched the reason why dairy is so addictive? Maybe if you knew it contains caseomorphin, which acts exactly like a dose of cocaine or morphine when consumed. It's wickedly addictive to most people and extraordinarily addictive to a select few. Complete abstinence will remove cravings but not with a mind already made up.

@m1cajah

@@KerriEverlasting I knew of them and didn’t have cheese/dairy for the 5 years I ate 100% WFPB. The research on casomorphins isn’t very clear or definitive and people (Dr. Bernard especially) may be slightly overstating the “addictive properties” of something that exists even in human milk production, though it’s intriguing. As someone who’s been addicted to nicotine in the past I can assure I am aware of the withdrawal process (no cigs in 15 years). I just couldn’t stick with it. It got to be very boring. I still eat plant based probably 80% of the time. Far better than I was eating before, but all my weight came back. Please don’t think I am bashing Dillon or WFPB eaters. Just expressing my frustration with it and my failure to stick with it.

I enjoy his content I think the simplest way of putting it all Is that you can eat more and have less calories if you focus on nutrient dense food that has low or no fat and the other half of our plates with the starchy veggies grains and proteins. Start with whole foods than eat the other foods and you will find you eat less of the higher calorie density foods because you will be full on the whole foods

Generally that is metabolic damage from dieting long-term. If you gradually increase the amount you eat and are very strict about eliminating oil processed foods and sugar you should be able to start eating more. if you can't figure it out, talk to one of the plant-based doctors and they'll get you straightened out. 😊

I second what the first comment said about metabolic damage. Unfortunately if you eat super low cals (e.g. 1200 calories) you will suffer. You will always be hungry and never satisfied and eventually fall off. On top of that your metabolism likes to be in homeostasis, or comfortable. So if you eat 1200 calories, eventually your metabolism will stop burning as many calories and you will stop losing weight at 1200 and the only alternative is to eat less which is essentially starvation. Also long term dieting makes it so you suffer metabolic damage. The best approach is to slowly eat more - maybe 50 to 100 calories every two weeks to allow your metabolism to catch up. It’s a great way to eat more without gaining. Once you start gaining consistently you will know you’ve hit your threshold. From there you can start cutting calories - but again, dieting for long term is not good. Check out resources on reverse dieting - it’s super helpful!!

What about homemade seitan? Is that good?

Question: I'm much older than you and over the years have found when I eat a lot of carbs throughout the day (such as oatmeal, potatoes, WW pasta, Brown/black rice, etc) I gain weight. I am vegan and have been since mid 90's but it just seems that an over consumption of carbs makes me gain weight. Not sure why. How do I find that happy medium where I can lose weight but still get enough healthy calories in? Also I still work and my husband & I like to have 'snacks' during the day. We take veggies & fruit, but we like things to go with the veggies. I make pesto, and almond butter and I can alot, so have canned hot peppers and pickled beets and things like that canned. However, they do contain small amounts of oil and/or sugar. How do you develop healthy snacks without all the oils and sugars? For the sugars, I try to use maple or date, but its still sugar. For oils, I always use avocado. But like you say, its still oil and empty calories. Can you do a video (if you haven't already) on just healthy snacks to eat?? Thanks. I enjoy your recipes and hope to get this lifestyle down to where it does seem more simple. Oh yea and one last thing, what do you put on your salads (I don't like plain vinegar) and what type of sauces do you make for your vegetables?
