People lose weight following all sorts of plans that can be contrary to their health or only offer short term results. Lifestyle change, where you eat foods that love you back long term, is what we all need to move towards. Looking over the obesity statistics here should leave everyone in a state of disbelief. https://stateofobesity.org/adult-obes... It has gotten species ending bad in a very short time and we are exporting this disease globally. The New York Times smoking gun article you all should read: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/mag... There really isn't much more to say, what is going on is horrible & you are not to blame. We've let our food companies & providers turn into drug dealers. We don't want people watching this video to fear high fat whole plant foods (nuts/seeds/avocado/coconut), just know their place as condiments on a diet that is mostly composed of lower calorie density fruits, vegetables, greens & starches (grains, potatoes, legumes). You can create amazing meals with all the same flavors you enjoy today. We have a cookbook 'The Whole Starch Low Fat Life Changing Cookbook' available for instant download on http://www.mrmrsvegan.com that follows these guidelines & a very active Facebook Group / wholestarchlowfat with nearly 20,000 people who post their transformations & support one another. Seeing is believing. Our community has been with us for the long haul & they are living the proof of long term sustainable & enjoyable lifestyle change. Get to know all of us by joining! Fat Balance is an interesting way to think about weight loss over calorie counting, however, its not as simple as it sounds. Our body has an energy hierarchy & simple sugars (fruit/refined sugar/flour/processed low fat foods) will throw the resting energy metabolism toward carbs over fat. If you remember in the video we burn about half of our resting energy as fat. The average person has about 1500 (women) to 1660 (men) resting metabolic rate so that's 750-800 fat calories you can wipe from your body if you don't replace them dietarily, BUT REMEMBER fat free foods offer little satiation & are engineered to make you binge. So what to do? Focus on Starches! They offer plenty of volume and nutrition & are complex sugars that break down slowly into the body with extra breaks from all the fiber from eating them whole. There are plenty of "potato" groups (including Peru where the potato is from & their cultural dietary staple is the potato, too!) all over the world that show their amazing weight loss & health from eating as many potatoes as they like. We aren't expecting anyone to go to those extremes, the entire edible whole plant selection in your grocery store offers endless combinations of delicious dishes that will fill you up while providing for weight loss. If you need help throwing your fat balance into the negative please join our WSLF Facebook Group & read the pinned post & start sharing your meals with us for instant feedback! We can & do beat the toxic corporate food giants together! Calories still matter, but focusing on the whole food will mean you don't even have to think about them. ♦ E B O O K ♦ → WSLF: Mrmrsvegan.com ♦ C O N T A C T ♦ → [email protected] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ♦ FOLLOW US ♦ ☺Mrs Instagram: Mrs_Vegan ☻Mr Instagram: HealthiestVegan ☺Tumblr: mrmrsvegan ☻Mr SnapChat: LexIsVeg ☺Mrs SnapChat: Mrs_Vegan
