Whole Food Plant-Based Diet

Do Carbohydrates Make You Fat?

17 January 2019 by Brian Darby

The primary point I want to make in this post is that whole food carbohydrates are health promoting and do not contribute to, or cause weight gain.

So ‘no’, in general carbohydrates by themselves do not make you fat. ‘Fat’ makes you fat, but fat combined with sugars and other refined carbohydrates can accelerate that process.

If you want to lose weight eat a whole food plant-based diet low in added salt, oil, and sugar. Avoid junk ‘foods’, alcohol, and reduce animal derived ‘foods’ (especially dairy) to a minimum; preferably zero. Read more . . .

Which Is the Healthiest Diet? and How to Find the Truth About Health and Nutrition

7 January 2019 by Brian Darby

The healthiest diet is one that prevents chronic disease and promotes recovery from existing chronic disease. The science and the clinical results prove beyond any doubt at this point that a whole food plant-based diet low in added salt oil and sugar is the best diet to achieve this. It’s the only diet that’s been proven to reverse the causes of heart disease and type II diabetes (and many other chronic diseases), and not just suppress the symptoms.

There’s an overwhelming amount of information about health and nutrition on the web, on television, and in books and magazines etc. My own feeling based on forty years of study, research and personal experience is that at least 95% of the information out there is incorrect and a great deal of it is extremely dangerous.

This has been thoroughly established, researched and proven beyond doubt at this point. Why then, in almost forty years of suffering with rheumatoid arthritis have I never been made aware of this treatment option by any of my ‘health care’ practitioners?

Whether a patient has rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes or any other chronic disease, the first thing any physician should do is to explain the overwhelming benefits of a whole food plant-based diet and other health promoting lifestyle changes.

How to Eat Healthy on a Budget – Whole Food Plant-Based

6 October 2018 by Brian Darby

It’s very economical to purchase a wide range of fresh and dried whole plant foods in bulk, which can then be made into a huge variety of delicious, nutrient dense, health promoting meals. Where the cost of each meal will be significantly less than the cost of a typical junk food ‘meal’. The value for money is high, the nutrient content is high, there’s a much greater variety of meals available, meals can be prepared in advance and in quantity, and I would argue that the flavours and textures of the meals created are far more enjoyable than those provided by fast/junk foods.
