How We Shed Nearly 300 Pounds, Multiple Symptoms, and All of Our Meds … in Just Two Years !!
In January of 2010, my husband Ed decided it was time to make some healthy changes in his life. He began walking daily and centering his food choices around a lot of fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and lean protein. I watched the changes he was making and decided that I would join him. Up until this time, Ed had suffered from hip pain, snoring, and acid reflux. I had suffered from aches and pains, not being able to walk up the stairs in my home without being left breathless, and borderline high blood pressure and cholesterol. I always worried about not being able to fit in chairs and booths at restaurants, and if I did fit, it was very uncomfortable. Over the next 18 months, Ed lost 140 lbs., going from 315 to 175 lbs. At the two-year mark, I had lost 150 lbs., going from 298 to 148 lbs.
As time went on, we noticed that we were losing our taste for meat and eating less of it. In June of 2013, we watched a couple of very good documentaries, Forks Over Knives being one of them. I was amazed at how some of the people in the film went from being so sick and medicated to healthy and medication-free in such a short period of time.
In July of 2013, Ed and I decided to cut out all animal products. Ed had suffered most of his life from nasal allergies. These symptoms disappeared within a short period of time after cutting out dairy. Now he has only occasional seasonal allergies. I had suffered from some digestive issues and would take over-the-counter meds to treat the symptoms. Three days after eliminating dairy from my diet, these issues completely disappeared, and I no longer need to take meds.
I have really enjoyed finding articles and recipes that support the plant-based lifestyle. There is so much good information right at our fingertips. With today’s social media, it’s easy to find other groups and individuals who also live this way of life.
Ed works as a pharmacist in a busy retail setting. A high percentage of the prescriptions he fills are for disorders and diseases that could be prevented or eliminated by making healthy lifestyle changes. Customers frequently ask him which diet aids work best. He is honest and tells them that none of them do, and then he shares his weight-loss story.
Today our lab results and BP numbers are fantastic, and our doctors are impressed with all the healthy lifestyle changes we have made. I have become a firm believer that each of us has the ability to prevent certain diseases and disorders by the foods that we eat.
A big thank you to doctors Campbell and Esselstyn for sharing their stories with us in such an eye-opening book and documentary. FOK has literally changed our lives!

The myth of Coconut Oil & The best choice is Wholefood 椰子油之谜 & 完整食物是最佳选择
The myth of Coconut Oil & The best choice is Wholefood
椰子油之谜 & 完整食物是最佳选择
Question:
There is a lot of debate out there concerning the so-called health benefits of coconut oil. Is coconut oil OK to use as part of a Nutritarian diet? Is it healthier than other oils?
Answer:
The argument here for me is not whether one oil is marginally better than another, but whether oil in general is healthful. I don’t recommend that people use oil on a regular or substantial basis, since whole foods are the healthiest way to get our fats. Eat almonds, not almond oil; flax seeds, not flax oil; coconut, not coconut oil.
All oils are processed foods, that have had all the good stuff removed; they have almost zero micronutrients and no fiber. Oil is oil, 120 calories of low-nutrient fat per tablespoon that is absorbed almost instantaneously.
I have never seen a study of any oil having benefits over the whole food it was processed from. Most of the studies concerning coconut oil are irrelevant as they do not compare the use of coconut oil to the same diet without oil, they compare coconut oil to other oils, like corn oil or animal fats. In other words, adding coconut oil to a healthful diet gives a healthful diet a lower nutrient per calorie density and does not add any longevity inducing substances—the opposite of what you would want to achieve to promote longevity. In comparison, there are scores of studies showing that adding whole walnuts to a diet has cardiovascular benefits, offers brain protective effects, and promotes overall longevity. Minimize oils and make whole seeds and nuts your main source of fat intake.
提问：
有很多争论有关椰子油的健康效益。是否椰子油有效作为营养饮食的一部分？它会否比其他的油更健康？
答案：
这个论点在这里，对我来说，不是一种油是否比另一种更好，而是油终究是否是健康的。我不建议人们长期使用油，就因为完整食物才是让我们摄取脂肪的最健康方式。我们该吃杏仁，不是杏仁油; 亚麻种子，不是亚麻籽油;椰子，不是椰子油。
所有的油都是加工食品，也已把所有的好东西（营养成分）去掉了;他们的微量营养素之含量，都几乎为零和无纤维含量。油是油，每汤匙的低脂营养之油就含有120卡路里，而且几乎是一瞬间就被吸收。
我从来没有见过任何从完整食物中所加工生产出来的油，是含有任何效益之好处。最令人关注的是，有关椰子油的研究更本是不相关的，因为他们根本没有以椰子油与无油的饮食方式作对比，他们只是以椰子油与其他的油类作对比，如玉米油或动物脂肪（动物油）。换句话说，在健康的饮食中加入椰子油，将会给于人们，以每卡路里的食物中，添加任何营养成分，反而导致较低的营养成分含量，也不会增加，你想达到促进长寿的任何物质成分。相比之下，研究已显示，增加整体的核桃之饮食是有促进心血管益处，给予脑的保护作用，并促进整体的长寿效益。减少油脂的摄取以及以完整种子和坚果的脂肪摄入为主要来源。
