    Aside from Brenda Davis, there are a number of established home cooks that have made this change. Many have always talked about following The Starch Solution. Now they talk a lot about high protein. One says she is a plant based dietitian. Her food is beautiful. I think she uses oil. Can't remember. I did my protein rant, and waited a while to see if anything changed, and it didn't so I stopped watching them all. My loss, but I am too easily triggered, and need to watch the people who support me… support this way of life. I have watched person after person die with a lot of suffering. You have helped keep me on track. My suffering has been from a self inflicted persuit of weight loss. Thankfully my kidneys appear to be ok, but can't say the same for the old bones. Hopefully I can make things work as long as I live. Thank you for being there, and staying true to who you say you are.

    The problem with older people (I am in my 70’s) and protein is that our appetites decrease, so we have difficulty getting enough protein. I was so tired all the time on my WFPB diet, it was depressing. I recently worked with a plant based dietician and we discovered I was only getting 2/3rds the protein I need (for a long time now). Within a few days of upping my protein intake, I felt like I was alive again. So yeah, for older folks, protein is a concern. Brenda Davis does recommend in her newest book on protein for seniors to consider commercial vegan burgers to get enough protein.

    I bet these channels are leaning into getting more viewers by adding the "junk food" fake meat to their recipes-they have protein but more fat and calorie dense. its right up there with fast food- ok once in a great while but far less healthy.

    great show as always! I've been mostly plant based for over 5 yrs now just and got a full blood panel done – protein levels well within range! i don't count or monitor my food-everything I eat has some protein. and don't forget- hardly anyone in the U.S has a protein deficiency. I'm gonna keep doin what I'm doing- it's working!
