The "Plant-Based" guideline encourages us to derive most of our calories from plant sources. We avoid animal products. The "Whole Food" guideline encourages us to consume foods in their whole, natural form. We avoid refined grains and processed foods. We also avoid extracts like sugar and oils. And we minimize supplements.
A few lectures that explain the big picture of Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines. Must watch!
In a lovely, 8-min video, Susan Valkai summarizes Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines very well.
Representative videos by prominent WFPB doctors like Dr Esselstyn, Dr Barnard, Dr Greger, Dr Fuhrman, Dr McDougall, Dr Cousens, Dr Goldhamer, Dr Klaper, and Dr Campbell.
Dr McDougall has published a slide deck called Food Poisoning — slides are available in PDF format in English, Hindi, Kannada and other international langauges.
In recent years, so many doctors of Indian origin have given lectures on Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines! Dr Akil Taher, Dr Bhujang Shetty, Dr Soham Patel, Dr Ashwani Garg, Drs Arjun & Shobha Rayapudi, Dr Subhas Ganguli, Dr Sirisha Potluri, Dr Rajiv Bajekal, and so on.
Chef AJ has posted almost 300 interviews with WFPB doctors, many of whom are of Indian origin.
Sometimes, friends ask me, "If we are already vegan (in other words, we don't consume any animal products), what is the advantage of diligently removing processed foods from our diet?"
