I am whole food plant based lifestyle. I have been doing this since 6-20-2017. I am now 173 lbs. My weight in high school was 168 lbs and when I started this 9 months ago I was 220 lbs. I would be lighter but lift weight on a regular basis not for building but for toning and strength. I was a low carb person for 4 or 5 years..this is a better way to live for me (eat all I want). Some of the youtube people that got me going.. Jeff Novick (caloric Density) Dr. Joel Furman...Dr. Carl Esselstyn...(and son) Dr. Michael Greger (nutritionfacts.org) and yes Chef AJ...these are the main ones but there are more...also Netflix Forks over knives and what the health. You can take a lot of this and modify for you own lifestyle..depends on what your goals are...weight loss or heath or both not to mention you get to eat until full and not go hungry....I know not everyone agrees and that is OK...I worked works and in working for me...BEFORE(5-20-1917) and AFTER(2-20-1918) less than a year and eat like a pig !!!!!!!always open to help
