And just a bit of a disclaimer. If you are suffering from an eating disorder, you're underweight and you need to gain weight or you're suffering from some form of disordered eating. This is not the video for you. And unfortunately, I am not the coach for you. However, I can refer you to those who can help you and dieticians who specialize in plant-based nutrition. This video is for people who want to lose excess weight or are looking to maintain their weight on the eat as much as you want plant-based lifestyle, but they're having some troubles and we're going to figure it out in this video reason number one just because it's vegan doesn't mean Healthy Oreos Coke and Twizzlers are all vegan vegan just means the absence of animal products. And this is why I Market my program as a Whole Foods plant based lifestyle program that focuses on starches vegetables fruits legumes and nuts and seeds. It's about eating foods that will promote Health as opposed to foods that just don't have certain things in them when it comes to weight loss and weight maintenance. We want to eat food that's from a plant not from a processing plant and people might say well, isn't this Better than animal products and it absolutely is these foods are better than animal products. They're free from the hormones the saturated fat the cholesterol and the cruelty but what they're not free from is the oils and that added salt in the preservatives and the sodium and all the additives that make these foods not ideal for weight loss out of curiosity. I pulled up the daiya mozzarella shreds just to see what the nutrition facts were in 1 cup has over 24 grams of fat and over 1,000 grams of sodium. So like I said when I come The weight loss we want to be eating food. That's from a plant not from a processing plant reason number two just because it's healthy doesn't mean that it's beneficial for weight loss. There are tons of foods that are wonderfully healthy, but can stall your weight loss. If you're looking to maintain weight or gain weight don't listen to this, but if you're looking to lose weight listen up just because of food is a health food doesn't mean that it's a weight loss food. Let's take something like pecans for example, a cup of pecans has over 700 calories in 75 Grams of fat now pecans are a whole health food. But if something if one cup of it just has just one tiny cup has over 700 calories in 75 grams of fat. That's not going to promote your weight loss like the equivalent which is a cup of potatoes, which is just a hundred fifty calories and has nearly no fat in it. So we have to be paying attention to the caloric density of these foods. And what's Within These healthy foods that will promote our solid weight loss. So just because the food is healthy doesn't mean that we Freely, eat it on this lifestyle. This is the eat as much as you want plant-based lifestyle, but you have to be eating the right foods and that brings me into Point number three the third reason why you might not be losing weight on your vegan diet is because you're eating the wrong proportions now listen carefully and note that I used the word proportions and not portions because on this lifestyle you can have as many plates as you want, but what you have to pay attention to and this is what I work exactly with my Giants with one-on-one is that the percentages of your plate have to be filled up with the proper food groups? Like I said in this lifestyle is based on starches vegetables fruits legumes and possibly the appropriate incorporation of nuts and seeds. If you look at a plate think about percentages, your plate should be filled up with certain percentages of each of these food groups. Once you get those percentages, right you can have as many plates as you want, but many people come to me and their plates the percentages aren't correct. They're eating rice beans potatoes fruits vegetables all this amazing stuff, but they're not eating the right proportions. So their play is filled up with a huge amount of this and a small amount of that when we really need a large amount of that in a smaller amount of this and when I often found with clients is that they're not eating too much of one group. It's that they're eating too little of another group and this is specifically what I work on in my program.
