    Another tip I would like to offer is that if you are going through a very stressful period in your life, or somebody is not treating you well and maybe you don't have the means to remedy this, being kind to yourself, eating healthy whole plant foods and not giving in to cravings/bingeing is the best way of coping and the best revenge. You will look better too, which in turn will encourage you to stick to a healthy lifestyle.

    On a very practical level, I've started following the example of my lovely Italian grandparents, with whom I grew up in the 1970s, and I always wear fitted clothes, or at least one fitted item, e.g. skirt, jeans, blouse. There was no athleisure clothing in the 70s, no elasticated waists which are so ageing by the way, everyone wore fitted clothes, even when doing cooking, gardening, housework, and of course when eating. My grandma was an amazing cook (made everything from scratch) and served several courses at lunchtime: starter (e.g. artichokes or asparagus, sadly dipped in salt and olive oil), 1st course (risotto or pasta), 2nd course (sadly often meat + a variety of veggies/salad/potatoes, all seasoned with olive oil). So it was not a way of eating I would endorse now, as it isn't vegan and included oil. But the portions/amount of olive oil per dish were small compared to the huge amounts people eat now, especially in the US. My grandma put a small knob of butter into the pot of pasta, but that fed everyone, not just one person, so the use of butter was very limited. There was no dessert, just fruit and maybe a couple of nuts we had to shell ourselves. Interestingly, my aunt, who loved cheese, was fat and always complaining she had back ache (because she was fat and didn't exercise at all). Everyone wore fitted clothes so you soon knew when you were full. If you overate, the most you could do was to unbutton your skirt/trouser button, but then you'd be mindful to just have soup for dinner or (in the case of my grandpa) skip dinner altogether. There were no snacks, no sweets and adults in Italy did not have breakfast (again, not something I would do myself, but basically it meant they only had 2 meals a day, not 3). I too dress every day and wear fitted clothes, they are amazingly comfortable when you are slim, everything feels comfortable. I am a former binge-eater and I am still a volume eater and triggered by certain foods, which I never buy or bring into the house. Wearing my jeans and tucking in my top soon tells me when I've had enough, even when my brain and stomach haven't registered it yet. It actually takes my brain longer than 20 minutes to register I'm full, but my fitted clothes are quick to tell me when I've indulged too much and it's time to stop. I eat plenty of whole plant foods that are nourishing and fill me up, so even though I occasionally crave unhealthy foods, the cravings simply go away. I don't have that food around me, would never order it, it is probably not vegan anyway so I can't act on my cravings, I simply don't feed my cravings. I remember the feelings of shame and being fat when I indulged in my cravings and it's not worth it. I always have healthy wholefood plant-based ingredients/meals ready so if I was genuinely hungry, I could have a second portion, but I never do. I don't snack either because I eat 3 good meals a day - a big breakfast and lunch and a big soup for dinner, all oil-free and plant based. I don't eat refined/processed food apart from the odd falafel and low-fat hummus, the rest I make from scratch, I batch cook about twice a week and enjoy preparing the delicious healthy food. Hope this helps other people.

    PS I had a dream menopause on a WFPB way of eating after decades of super heavy, long periods that even stopped me from going out. I didn't even notice I was going through the menopause and I feel great after the menopause too. I really sympathise with women having a painful and difficult menopause. There's a menopausal look which is very unflattering and ageing and that's the spare tyre around the belly. But we can fight against it with whole plant food, so we shouldn't resign to it.

  • @luluandmeow
    @luluandmeow День тому

    For 2 years I struggled to lose the last few lbs without success after losing several stones on a WFPB way of eating. I didn't want to reduce my calories/portion size as I used to be a binge-eater and I didn't want to risk feeling deprived and bingeing again. Dr Brooke Goldner said her husband did some studies and discovered that adding some healthy fat to your diet actually helps with weight loss. It seemed counter-intuitive to me (I am a little afraid of higher calorie wholefoods) but I gave it a go - slowly as i am extremely petite and not very active so I don' think I need more than 1,600/1,700 cals (I've never counted though). I started eating a walnut (not a handful!) and two tablespoons of avocado with my salad most days, I've also added more legumes to my diet. And I lost the last few lbs without even trying, I am pretty sure I still eat all the other food I have always eaten, so no additional restrictions to compensate for the walnut and avocado. I lost the last few lbs relatively quickly (about 3 months) without even realising it and I have maintained my weight loss. I have now been my ideal weight for a few months without any weight regain. I am 58 and not at all active, though I am trying to go for a walk every day and stretch/do weights a couple of times a week. It's a mystery how some foods/food combinations can really help with weight loss, it also gave me a lot of hope. I have a very stressful life but being the weight I've always wanted is such a fabulous feeling, every item of clothes feels comfortable and like a second skin. I don't dress for anyone except me but it's lovely that other people compliment me on the way I look. When I was fat I looked horrible and my skin was awful - for decades. I deserve to feel good, be healthy and love my body in my 50s, it is never too late. 50 year olds and older are cool - and there's a lot of us!

      First of all sending you healing thoughts and prayers. There is an app called Cronometer that you can put your food in and it will tell you how much calcium you are getting. I would also recommend the book “Breasts the owners manual by Dr. Kristi Funk”.

  • @luluandmeow
    @luluandmeow 2 дні тому

    Thank you for all your very helpful insights, Dr Marbas. I like to weight myself every day, I am mindful of daily variations but if my weight went up by more than 2lbs, I would take action and nip this in the bud. I write the weight down on my calendar and have codes for various related activities/events, e.g. W for walk, E for exercise, C for constipation, etc. I also write down in a notebook what I am going to eat for the next 3 days, this also helps with batch-cooking, using up everything that's in the fridge, etc. I may alternate slightly richer meals one day with more slimming ones the next and I really enjoy keeping planning my meals in this way, I don't rely on any other equipment/technology. 4 years after starting my WFPB journey, I have no idea exactly how many calories I eat or burn, somehow I don't seem to need to work it out. Being very petite and a 58 year old woman, I am guessing it's probably around 1,600 cals a day for maintenance or a very slight weight loss.

    I follow a whole plant lifestyle, I eat 3 times in a 7 to 8 hour hour window, having my last meal around 2:30 in the afternoon, eat plenty of veggies, beans, nuts and seeds, some fruit in the morning also eat tofu and tempeh frequently. I was eating about 70 to 80 grams of protein a day and lately I increased it to about 100. It’s little bit challenging but, when I am in doubt, I make it up with a plant based protein shake. I am 5’ 9 “ 155, 67 year old male. Quite active and also do strength training 3 times a week. With all the new findings about the need for muscle strength in older people, I may have to increase it a little bit more. See, but I don’t like things like Soy curls, they don’t taste good and all those products made with wheat protein I don’t even want to try.

      @DrLaurieMarbas Thank you for your reply. Which research should I look into? Could you site it, please? And what variety of vegetables should I consume a day to ensure that all the essential amino acids are consumed? For example, chicken supplies complete protein, i.e. contains all the essential amino acids, but that couldn't be said about proteins in vegetables, so a variety of what vegetables will ensure the balanced intake of amino acids?

    You've discovered the Invisalign diet. I went through that also. Now I've replaced Invisalign with Cronometer. This stops me from snacking or sampling unnecessarily because I consider whether or not eating the food is worth the effort of weighing/measuring and entering. I also need to think about how it will impact the calorie and protein numbers for the day. Where I'm struggling now is travel. I don't enter in Cronometer when I travel and so much of the restaurant food has salt, oil and sugar. The restaurant food also tastes so good. I know I'm eating more than I need to. I'd love to see a video on this topic.
