Recently, I tried completing Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen every day for 60 straight days to see how it would change my relationship to food. I wanted to fully hone-in on my plant-based nutrition. By following a plant-based diet, Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen would give me the road map to crushing my plant-based nutrition goals.

After 60 days, there are three key takeaways I’ve gotten from this challenge that I’d like to share with you!

In this video, I explain what Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen is, how it works, how I managed to complete the challenge, and what I learned from this plant-based challenge.

  2. Welp that's my daily lifestyle minus the extra fruits, beans and grains, but my results were not as drastic as yours. Oh, wait– I did initially lose 120 lbs. Guess I forgot about that. But yes, my relationship with food has also changed.👍🏽

  3. As an Indian watching your grocery list, I went "yup that's 90% what an Indian person will buy weekly! " ( Our country has a huge population of generational vegetarian 😆 so it felt familiar)

  6. Yikes! I did that for years and felt like crap because the grains and beans caused me inflammation. If you have leaky gut, stay away from beans and grains! Yes to the amount and types of veggies! No to the Grains and beans. Have 1 or no grains a week and 1 or no legumes a week if you have gut issues. Eat 1 serving of FREE RANGE GRASS FED meat, red and other a day. Eat some organ meat once a week. Keep the fruits and veggies. Replace the grains with squash. You may be feeling better not because you went vegan, but because you dropped dairy. People go on vegan or even carnivore diet and feel better because they dropped the junk food and dairy. No, I am not advocating carnivore, but people do feel better on it because it has no sugar or cheese. So yeah, try playing around with weather your body does better on beans or meat. I think it depends on your ancestry, blood type etc.
    If you still have brain fog, adhd, eczema, ms, bloating, try standard paleo, low fodmap, AIP or Wahls protocol diets. They may work way better for you. If it is for ethical reasons you are vegan, good for you for putting your own wellbeing aside for the planet and the animals (that was not sarcastic, I really admire that, just don't think you are doing it for your health, just cut the sugar, grains, dairy out and add a lot of veggies if you want health, stop the meat for the animals).

  7. I find the list to be quite a lot of food. I tried to give it a go several months ago, but just got overwhelmed by the list. I think that having all those foods prepped and ready to go in the fridge/pantry would be helpful, so maybe I'll make that the goal this week. Thanks for the video. It was a good reminder to get back on track and not hibernate too deeply out here in northern Canada. Brrrrrr!

  11. Thank you for sharing your experience and giving us your expertise advice. I follow Dr Greger, have his books except the last one: related to virus?
    I’d memorized the dozen formula and I was surprised that a bigger younger person than me (me 62 and 5.1 feet) says is a lot to eat what the dozen formula suggests. I can’t eat 3 cups of bean per day… but he had say is just a guide and I think at least we should have some
    amount of these foods specially the ones each of us might think we need?
    I’m addicted a little bit to pasta (from no where I crave PASTA! not sweets, not potato chips, just pasta). So I have to at least once a week I’ll eat pasta and I know I’m kind of allergic to gluten (when I eat bread, pasta I really feel my belly too full).
    I admire dr Greger and his organization, I’m so grateful ❤. From 🇯🇵 arigatou

  12. I started eating a 99% WFPB diet about 2 months ago.
    I’m suddenly noticing lots of bruises all over my body. Is it possible I’m eating too many servings of greens?

  14. Been doing this for 5 years, struggle the most with daily exercice. Always been ripped so didn't notice a change, but I know it's better for my overall health. You hit the nail on what intuitive eating is.

  16. My partner and I are living the daily dozen vegan wholefood plant based life for 40 months. 3 years and a half. We also took CNS course just to be sure.

    We are in our thirties’early fourties’.

    We feel amazing. We have never fallen sick since we started. We healed every single little health issue we had, including (at the very beginning) a cancer. It was healed within 8 weeks too… This was the starting point actually.

    We were already pretty healthy before doing this but wow how life changed when we transitioned to whole foods …

    Best investment ever. Try it for three weeks.

  19. When I went plant based whole food vegan intermittant fasting 16/8 — not all at once — the daily dozen was my template also. But I could never get 3 servings of beans — 5' 4 115 pounds not a problem checking in with cronometer. I get 10,000 steps in just a number but have a dog and it works out and at my age need resistance/weights and not my favorite thing right now but used to it and feel better. I too have internalized the template and health and mental acuity are both way better. One caveat for people like me on a draconian budget == produce is not cheap anymore, not in Canada and due to go up 5% next year. Don't throw stuff away; stock pot your friend. And some of the simplest meals are amazing. Because of my age and location (66 Canada) I supplement with vit D and calcium as well as algae based iodine and magnesium which is depleted while your body usues vit D. My doctor is on board with this. Great presentation!

  20. I think I saw a video from Dr G saying he doesn't necessarily eat everyone of those every day, it's more of an encouragement than an absolute and that's how I use it.

  21. whole produce isn't cheap at all IMO, especially if organic
    it's much cheaper to just eat shelf stable slop
    "whole food plant based" is really for the upper middle class

  22. I just found out something interesting. That around 1 in six people have a gluten sensitivity. This does not mean they all have digestive issues from it. Many people get inflamation, sore joints, brain fog, eczema etc. from it. There are many kinds of gluten. Wheat has the most, but even rice and corn have some. For the people who are not genetically predisposed to gluten sensitivity, eating this way would be a great way to eat, but for people with gluten sensitivity, taking out wheat is the most important, but of they are very sensitive, all grains.

  23. I’m a 77 year old ex diabetic that follows the daily dozen. It has worked better than any medication or medical solution for my diabetes My cholesterol is great too , Im off all statins. He is right traveling is the hardest part. A week at a family reunion messed me up this past yr. It took almost 3 months to recover. The daily dozen worked for me.

  26. I use breakfast to tackle more than half of the daily dozen by making a huge bowl of grains, fruit, flax, nuts, seeds, spices, and sometime seven add other vegetables (like sweet potato or squash) and cruciferous greens like kale. Once you get into a rhythm it becomes second nature. Keeping large bags of frozen organic fruit in the freezer makes things a lot easier too.

  27. Great video and review. But total disrespect in the way the food is thrown on the ground for display. Not sure how such a nonchalant way to handle food is adopted but it's terrible. The food thrown is literally worth its weight in gold in terms of the value it provides for the health and should be handled respectfully.

  32. Thank you for your video. You don't need the background music. It's challenging for people on the spectrum, who are hard of hearing, who's speaking English as a second language, who need to rewind in order to understand, it's just not needed. YouTube did the world to disservice by recommending it. The best channels don't use it. Thanks again for your video. PS. A little bit of music goes a long way when people aren't talking. And of course it's lovely when people are singing.

  39. I already eat a lot of these foods, just not in these quantities! My concern is that I don't need to lose weight. I lost 26 pounds taking care of my dad and I've only been able to gain back 9 pounds. That took me nearly 6months to accomplish. I have anxiety and a pretty physical job that just burns off the calories faster than I can put them on. Any help would be appreciated! ♥

  42. I love the daily dozen!! I made my dad follow the app when he was undergoing cancer treatment, and it totally helped! It lessened his anxiety, and helped with his treatment. It's a great app to follow, even for non vegans as you focus more on eating healthy which crowds out the unhealthy

  44. I love the Daily Dozen! It's so hard to travel and follow the dozen. I try to travel with red cabbage in my suitcase. It's nutritious and travels well until you get to a friend's fridge. I also have a salad with kale, greens, red cabbage, nuts, and berries every day. That knocks out a lot of the dozen. I definitely don't knock out the dozen every day but I try to get close!

  46. As a plant based eater who really does not like green veggies, I bought a food dehydrator and make my own green powder to add to smoothies or I just stuff my own capsules. It changed the game for me.

  47. That's good you lost weight. I am on Mcdougall Starch Solution and at 6 years now. I lost weight and kept it off for the most part. I control my weight easily now when I struggled impossibly on the standard diet and when succeeded it was very temporary.

    Life is different and while I still have health issues, like an annoying knee I hurt in younger years or sinus problems occasionally, a lot of suffering is gone and a lot of worry about heart disease is permanently gone on this diet, which is why I started it in the first place.

  48. Any tips on dropping a dairy yogurt habit? I am trying some of this daily dozen system but nothing so far replaces the texture and fermented flavor of cold smooth yogurt. Soy yogurts are not part of the system either. The only other alternative I can think of is to make a homemade fermented yogurt out of chickpeas.

  49. I wish you had included shots from your doing the challenge, some meals, real time updates – would've made this more persuasive and engaging. Either way, love it and love Dr. Greger's book.

  50. It's time for me to do a checkup with the daily dozen. Been over a year since I looked at it, but I've been WFPB since about 3 weeks after I found Dr. Greger on youtoob. That was almost eight years ago. Healthy beats the crap out of not-healthy by a long shot. Once you feel it, it's pretty hard to quit. I eat so much more food now and with more variety, what's not to love?!

  55. I don’t want to be thinking about what to constantly eat because I’ve had disordered eating most of my life. It’s hell. I want to eat healthy, but I also want to eat the foods I like like yogurt, milk, chicken, eggs, cheese in moderation fuck

  57. I've tried this "daily dozen" before, it didn't work. I started eating grass finished beef with eggs, raw milk and some delicious wild fruits. sorry but I thrive more and feel WAAAY better on the animal-based approach, granted it's from high quality sources.

  60. No plants in the whole world can supply all the needed nutrients our bodies require, at about age 45 it catches up with us and an avalanche of problems showup, as a male my erections went awol, now they are back after putting meat back in my diet.

  61. I am Alan, Judy's husband. I have been vegetarian/vegan/plant-based no oil, no sugar, no processed foods for over 52 tears. A few weeks ago I started Dr Greger's Dirty Dozen incorporating his 21 Tweaks to the tee. I have not missed one day or even one meal. I added the Black Cumin and the 2 teaspoons of vinegar before or during each meal and so forth. I have already been exercising every day and especially after each meal. 30-45 minutes every morning after breakfast on the Tonal weight exercising machine and 45 minutes on the treadmill with the incline up to 5-6 and speeds up to 3.7 mph but usually around 2.5 mph. 30 minutes after lunch and 30 minutes after dinner. All of this resulting in losing 19 lbs with 16 lbs to go as a target. My blood pressure has dropped dramatically and as a type one diabetic my avg daily insulin usage has dropped from 75 units to 31 units. All of these results prove to me that 100% plant-based no oil, no sugar, no processed foods incorporating Dr Greger's program works tremendously!

  62. Dang this is wholesome as heck. I did the daily dozen challenge about 8 years ago and nits been second nature ever since. This was just a great refresher!

  64. The only concrete benefit I heard in the video was self-assessed improved recovery from what looked like rather modest workouts and body fat loss, so if you are already athletically fit, seems like your don’t need to bother with this diet.

  66. Keep the fruit change the beans for meat, Everything else toss on the trash do that for 60 days and you will feel amazing.

  67. Doing it for 5 years, I have no weight to lose, actually I have to over eat not to lose any more weight. Wfpd
    Is the way to avoid disease . Exercising daily requires More Calories. Dr Gregor and dr Furman and dr goldner
    Are of great help.

  69. I do all of them besides the nuts and seeds because I'm trying to stay thin and don't need fat in my diet. I know I'd get obese if I ate those things daily because my body sucks and the moment I start eating fat I gain weight.

  70. I googled "The Daily Dozen" it turns out that that is also the name of a donut shop in Michigan. I wonder if people confuse the two and start eating twelve donuts a day 😁.

  72. My tummy was churning just watching the video…no thanks, once I turned to meat/animal high fat, just over a year now and I have never felt better 😊

  73. ok three servings of beans a day! i've mastered this! dessert hummus for breakfast. if you're trying to avoid the sugary ones in the grocery store, you can also make your own at home! just add that to your oatmeal and BOOM beans for breakfast
    i eat the daily dozen, but i incorporated it very slowly, because i have a tendency to jump too fast into things and give up, so i literally would not let myself go ahead and only would incorporate one of the categories a month. until at the end of the year, i was then eating my daily dozen every day. it was so much easier than i thought it would be lol and that way you're only focused on how to incorporate one at a time.
    ie if you have pancakes every morning, just switch to making your own whole-wheat mix. whole grains with pancakes. then top with fruits and berries, maybe a dessert hummus, make it with flax seeds, throw some walnuts on top. if you go only one at a time, it's much easier

  79. I've been eating this way for a few years. The thing people don't realize is that eating this way is a lot a food. I actually hit the majority of the boxes with breakfast which is oats, flaxseed, walnuts, fruit etc. But I'm similar in that I don't really use the app anymore. It has become a habit and just the way I eat now, so I don't need to track it as much.

  82. This sure sounds like an infomercial posing as an objective review. It is just that kind of deceitful tactic that leads me to distrust Dr Greger.

  89. I am 66 and was diagnosed with COPD two years ago and pre-diabetes eight weeks ago. Started the daily dozen three weeks ago. Clothes around my belly feel a lot looser – my goal is to do a minimum of 15 each day of dd and 8 tweeks each day and add things as I go along!! Feeling great – my exercise has really increased from 3,000 to 7,000 steps each day. Can't believe the physical energy. I am still addicted to peanuts!!! My first major goal is to deflour my life.

  94. I love reading the comments. I’ve been following for years and I love it. I don’t eat processed foods. You do various beans and use tofu. Love cauliflower all day long.

  95. let just be honest here all vegetables need fertilizer to grow. AKA cow shit, bone and blood meal from cows. the human body can not utilize 98% of the nutrients in fruits and veges . FACT. there is not one humans that has ever survived on only fruit and vegetables with out supplementation PERIOD.

I commenti sono chiusi.
