How to Achieve Easy and Permanent Weight Loss with The Power Foods Diet with Neal Barnard, MD

Boy wouldn’t it be awesome to have Dr Barnard for your family doctor?! He’s such a kind soul 💜

By chance I attended a talk given by Dr Barnard sponsored by Vitamix. I had been struggling with my diabetes and weight loss. When it was over I bought his book and read it cover to cover. I'm an all or nothing person so I cleared my house of anything not vegan, spent hours at the grocery reading labels and 6 months later I was down 70 pounds. Yes in 16 years I've not always been vegan but I never gained that 70 pounds back and I thank Dr Barnard every day.

Dr Barnard has such a pleasant demeanor. I enjoy listening to him talk. I’m drinking Ceylon cinnamon tea as I watch. So delicious! 1 + tsp cinnamon, 12 oz hot water, 4 oz organic soy milk stir well!

Thank you for being completely transparent about the dairy industry!

I love Dr. Barnard! He’s so great!

Thank you chef AJ. I love each guest you have on your youtube . I just adore listening to Dr Barnard . I often listen to his cheese trap talks and read his book . So difficult here in Switzerland 🇨🇭 in the Valais Swiss Alps , I am surrounded with cheese or meat . So dr Barnard you have helped me to stay so far away from cheese .

I’m a person who tried keto for months and lost almost nothing!

“Moderation is for good things”. Brilliant!

The dairy industry is one of the cruelest! 😭I cry every time I think about it. I wish more people were aware.

So glad to hear about dairy products, even though I am elderly. I had cut back on dairy in this last 9 months as I was continually clearing my throat, it’s made a huge difference

I just love chef AJ and doctor Neal Barnard 🙏for all your wonderfull inspiration - 30 years ago I was healed very fast from hot flashes just by eating a strict Japan inspired whole food plant based diet, brown rise, millet, oats, vegetables, a bit of fruit , miso soup, no Oil and a very small almond of Almonds or seam seeds, not eating later than 6 pm and no fruit in the evening) - for me it solved all problems within a few days 🎶 🍀🎵💚🙂

I saw a direct relation to hot flashes with intake of sugar. I could bring one on minutes after eating sugar. If I avoided sugar…no hot flashes. I’ve controlled them 100% this way.

The half cup of soybeans a day worked like magic for me, thank you for that study!

The Exam Room podcasts changed my life! I am so grateful for Dr Barnard and all of his tireless research and work. As kind and generous in person as on the podcasts!

Thank You for challenging him Chef on "Keeping oils low", rather than omiting them entirely. I was a fat vegan following his philosophy!

Thank you for sharing. One of my favorite breakfasts is potatoes, red cabbage, and yellow squash.

Thank you Dr Bernard and Chef AJ. What a lovely man and so informative. Loved listening to you both

Thank you Chef AJ and Dr Barnard. I just had blueberries in my oatmeal today. Love cinnamon too.

Thank you for a great interview, both of you! Love both of you, as you give out such great information and base it on science. Having been on a WFPB diet for going on 6 years, I've seen a reversal of several conditions that were becoming chronic. Including anxiety and depression. My life and energy is so much better now. I am in a healthy weight range with a BMI of just under 23, and am 66. Altogether, I've lost a bit over 50 lbs, over these past few years. Adding intermittent fasting this last year has also helped. Grateful for this way of life! And grateful to all the wonderful podcasts like this one, for accurate and helpful information and motivation to stick with it!

I really enjoyed this! Thank you so much ❤
