Check out this video—Dr. Thomas Campbell lays it all out brilliantly. He compares the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) with a whole food, plant-based diet (WFPBD) in terms of outcomes, weight, and metabolic markers. Spoiler alert: WFPBD comes out on top (shocking, right?). But here’s where it gets really interesting—Dr. Campbell doesn’t just drop the facts, he breaks down why diets like keto (hello, low-carb craze) don’t hold up in the long run. His analogy? Spot on.
My FEARLESS model for diet and lifestyle is all about the whole food, plant-based approach, and for good reason. The science is clear—long-term studies show that WFPBD is the way to go. So grab a snack (preferably something green and crunchy) and give it a watch!
