Meet Adam.
When Adam was in his 20’s he began eating fast-food to deal with his existing Adderall (ADHD medication) addiction [1:22]. He gained 110 pounds in 3 years, and he felt horrible.
Overweight and addicted to fast-foods, Adam realized that he needed a change [1:45]. Part of his entrance into rehab involved a health physical, and this led to the discovery that Adam had type 2 diabetes [1:58]. His blood glucose at the time was over 300mg/dL!
This shocking number motivated Adam to take action. He went straight to the physical trainer at the facility to talk about starting an exercise regimen immediately [3:31].
A year earlier, Adam had been to a nutrition education course given by Rip Esselstyn about living a plant-based diet [3:01]. This gave him the tools he needed to move toward a plant-based approach.
Being in rehab limited Adam’s food choices, but he transitioned toward a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet as he was able [3:18]. After rehab, Adam began pursuing a plant-based approach more intensely. He used egg whites omelettes loaded with vegetables for a while to help ease the transition to eating so many vegetables [5:28].
Over time, with a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet, Adam was able to stop the following medications [6:44, 10:49]:
- Metformin, 1500mg per day (for type 2 diabetes)
- Janumet, 50mg per day (for type 2 diabetes)
- Lisinopril, 10mg (for high blood pressure)
- Trazodone, 200mg (for sleeping)
- Wellbutrin, 600mg per day (for depression)
- Lamictal, 25mg (for bipolar disorder)
- Strattera, 80mg (for ADHD)
Since transitioning to a plant-based diet, Adam has reversed type 2 diabetes, lost over 100 pounds, and now has incredible energy.
Now, Adam starts his day at 4:45 am with 3-4 servings of oatmeal and 1-2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and he has snacks of fresh fruit and berries [7:57]. For lunch he has a salad loaded with leafy greens and everything from beans to fruits [8:28]. Afternoon snacks are hummus with carrots or steamed greens such as broccoli [8:56]. Dinner is quinoa with black beans and a ton of chopped vegetables [9:06].
Adam came to understand the power of having supportive and knowledgeable individuals lead you through the transition to a plant-based approach. He uses his experiences and newfound energy to coach others discovering the power of a holistic approach to life and plant-based nutrition [11:32].
