Dr. Barnard, you're a marvel! Thank you for all you do! Vegan4life

Keto. Meat-based Keto even more effective.

Adam Adam says:

You should do the same study with just type 2 diabetics.

Veg Ahimsa says:

It was mocked, but 80/10/10 (carbs/fat/protein) remains the clearest description of a healthy (whole plant vegan) diet.

Sure, variation is allowed (and more complicated), but not much. Protein 5-20%, Polyunsaturated fat 5-10%.

Veg Ahimsa says:

WFPB means very little outside of academia and it's vague even when the abbreviation is decoded. Why not "whole plant vegan"? It says what it is and means what it says. In the case of this video, LFWFPB is just a scrabble of letters. Spell it out and simplify: "Low fat whole plant vegan" is clear.

MacX85 says:

How did this turn into vegan propganda all of a sudden? "Animal products" are not the problem. Highly processed and sugary food is. And there are plenty of those on the vegan market.

MacX85 says:

24:20 "Fat has 9 kcal/g. Carbohydrate has only 4."
Ok, but you won't overconsume fat as easily as carbs since it's pretty satiating.

Seitan Beats Your Meat says:

Listen, I live in Italy and am married to an Italian. Are there skinny people here that eat the Mediterranean “Diet”? (It’s not a diet for them, it’s just their lifestyle and food). Sure. Are there fat MD people? Sure. At the end of the day, if you’re not eating enough fiber (even as a vegan!), you’re gonna have weight issues.

They eat olive oil, but not as much as you’d be led to believe. They eat minimal breakfasts, big lunches, small dinners. Snacking is for children after school… they walk and bike a lot (depending on region) and the food is vastly different from north to the south. Foreign food is gaining popularity (like KFC and BBQ/burgers, but also at least here in the north, sushi is HUGE). I’m curious how the foreign food invasion will trend their health over the next few decades, as the traditional food makers die off (women are working outside the home way more. I’m a feminist but trying to work, raise babies, keep a clean home AND make homemade pastas with the traditional vegetables & sauces is leading to pre-prepared crap food. The US is filling the shelves here). I’m willing to bet there are the same westernized diet diseases as we see in the US.
I sound the alarm, but they’re not listening… yet

Janet Tempest says:

Cornflakes are full of sugar and corn is not healthy

Janet Tempest says:

I mean flax seed oil 🤷‍♀️

Janet Tempest says:

I use flax seed in my coffee and whisk till frothy and a lot of Mediterranean people eat olive oil and are healthy ?

zee says:

Can anyone please help me. I want to move to the vegan diet but the only question I have is about male erections and fertility. Anyone has a reliable data or personal experience that Vegan will also be beneficial for this purpose. Appreciate the help

Lib Olefub says:

How come that many doctors says that fat is not the cause for diabetes where Dr Barnard says it is the cause ?

Tobi Vega says:

Why does the weight loss champion look so ill

Monique Guilland says:

Some people say "plant-based" because "vegan" means unhealthy.

Rao Karna says:

Wonderful way of explanation in simpler terms. Thanks a lot Dr Barnard and exam room

Amy Starobin says:

I bought broccoli and chia peas with vegetarian broth and cooked them with seasoning minced garlic minced onion and turmeric to start Vega . I eat quaker high fiber oatmeal packet 3 cups of grapes I eat a16 oz broccoli and there are 2 cups in Progresso chick peas . I payed off my treadmill and started it today after many years without walking. I did 1.6 mph today in 5 segments throughout the day. I am 66 soon 67 I have lost from 263.6 to 204 seeking 150 for 5.5

Christine Browne says:

After practicing a vegan diet for a year my cholesterol went from 230 -265, my HDL went from 65 to 50, my triglycerides went from 140 To 240 and my blood pressure is rising. Super frustrating, now what? I’m choosing to continue this lifestyle but I’m now in the 14 percent range for a heart attack. That’s over the recommended percentage. I’m 62 years old , 5’7 and 132 lbs. My family has huge history of cardiovascular disease. It seems genetic to me. Help

C Rudman says:

I could listen to Dr Barnard all day long. So knowledgable & kind 🦋

Cinnamon_Shaw says:

So how do you go vegan if you're unable to digest beans, very sensitive to grains, and have diabetes?

Jennifer Stephens says:

I've been told by many doctors to avoid the vegan diet because it doesn't include enough animal protein, which affects energy levels and metabolism.
