Oh, and fellas, if you find your weiner doesn't work like it used too... That is an indicator that heart disease is setting in. Take it seriously. 

After about a six weeks  of eating whole food plant based I started waking up with steel boners like I was 18 again. The artery that feeds your shlong is only about as big as a coffee stirrer. When that  artery isn't working properly, it is giving you a heads up that bigger problems are on the way. (no pun intended) (I lied, pun intended)

coffee is good for you if you drink it black.

Lol you can keep your hot bean water. I love myself. 

Jk some of the best coffee I ever had was fresh stuff in El Salvador a few years ago. Black with not even a grain of sugar or drop of cream and the stuff was amazing.

Try to stick more to the veggies than fruits (which have a higher sugar content). My wife lost 100 pounds on a mainly raw food diet. You can basically eat all you want. Keep it interesting with different veggies. The more colors, usually the better. You'll literally burn calories with all the chewing also. One thing you can try is to sprinkle a mixture of onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper on your salads (and I personally add a bit of powdered red or cayenne pepper for a kick). I also add in some pineapple tidbits, sliced apple, pears, or whatever fruit sometimes. Personally, raw cabbage is a favorite of mine. I use it as opposed to leafy greens in my salad sometimes. And try and stick to romaine lettuce as opposed to iceburg which basically has zero nutritional value.

The pounds will fall off of you, and I don't care how much you eat (or may be think you can eat because you'll get full).

I have to add some lean meat to my diet though (baked or grilled turkey, chicken or fish). Protein is super important to keep muscle, and---a lot of people don't know this---it will keep you looking younger. Some people eat beans/lentils, but I just can't do it because it's personally a pain to eat so many of them. That's my experience and preference though. It's just more efficient to eat lean meat because it packs more protein which your body needs. I don't eat meat some days though, but I found that I need some to not get "too small," which my fat brother-in-law said I already am. I'm almost 50 at 183 and 5'11¾. 

I keep mental notes of my caloric intake and have been doing so for years, but I don't really worry about the raw veggies and fruits because they are generally super low in calories.

 The struggle is real!

6 months in on the whole food plant based eating.

Down 35 pounds. Off all prescription medications. Back pain is gone. Everything just works better thanks to the reversal of arteriosclerosis. My tubes are relaxing and opening up again, and blood is able to get where it needs to go. It is as simple as that.

Have not been sick this year. Not even allergies. I even stayed healthy at a time my whole household passed around stomach flu.

The point? If you have any chronic lingering medical issues, just try it out for a month. You could save a ton of cash , feel so.much better, and extend your life in the mean time.

I realize I catch flack for the posts, but after each one I make I get DM's from people wanting to improve their health. That makes it worth it. Anywho...

 

Love,

Congrats man! I've picked up a few pounds over the years. Especially since I work at home full time now. I tried a couple different diets. That juicing diet was a tough one. I'm really want to try this. I have back issues and I'm sure weight loss will help. Hell 35 lbs would work wonders for me 

[Johnny Rockets]

I get this a lot. Working on a blog post that spells it all out for you. There are many ways to do it, I can only speak to what worked best for me. 

No matter how cultish this thing appears, give us a link to it when you finish. I'm interesting in reading it.

A lot of back pain is actually caused cardiovascular disease. Your discs don't have arteries, they get their nutrients from the tiny capillaries around them. If those get restricted, back pain soon follows.

Whole food plant based is the only diet that has been scientifically proven to not only halt cardiovascular disease , but also reverse it.

I might as well chime in here - I am in my upper 50 's and have been a pescatarian for about 20 years.  When my blood pressure was way too high and I saw Jeremys initial post about this I decided to give this idea a try.   I cut all the dairy from my diet for a couple weeks but it did not seem to help my bp and since my wife is big on cheese and does the cooking,  it made it very difficult to go to that extreme  - so I eat some dairy now but have greatly reduced the amount .  I have also cut way back on the eggs I eat ( fresh from my own chickens ) - I also cut back on  alcohol consumption to just a couple nights a week - the result is I have lost almost 20 pounds in about 3 months and am down to 175 lean muscular pounds at 6 feet tall - I haven't weighed this little since my freshman year in college - , my bp is still a bit higher than I want  but not really high enough for medication, and one of the benefits I was not even counting on is the great reduction in my aches and pains - lower back aches especially - I am very active, work out as well and at my age,  my back used to almost constantly bother me.  Now it is fairly rare that I get a twinge in my back for a day or two.  I never even associated my improving back pain with my diet till I just read this post from JI.

I should do this diet but I just don't have the discipline. I did buy a juicer that I use though. I'm a diabetic though, so I have to go heavier on the veggies than the fruit and it doesn't taste very good.

Congrats man!!! Whatever makes you feel better.

 

For me it's Vitamin D and smoking some of God's natural medicine everyday.
