Summary
I want to go vegan, but I don't know how!
The concept of a plant-based diet can be so puzzling to someone who has been eating meat and drinking whole milk their entire life! Just figuring out the first step can be so overwhelming that they might throw in the towel before ever trying tofu. Such a shame!
In this episode of The Exam Room™, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined in studio by Dr. Neal Barnard who reveals just how easy it can be to make the change in just 21 days! Better yet, he gives us a preview of his brand new book, The Vegan Starter Kit!
The conversation covers everything you need to know about plant-based eating and busts the biggest vegan myths out there.
It answers some of the most burning questions about the diet: How old is too old to go vegan? What is the best way to make the switch? How does it help prevent heart disease? And of course, will I get enough protein?
Find out as Chuck and Dr. Barnard reveal how to go vegan in 21 days!
Plus, get an exclusive look at the newly revamped 21-Day Vegan Kickstart app and website! It is perfect for those wanting a step-by-step guide to going vegan. Hear from the experts who provide you with everything from grocery lists to recipes to tips for eating out. It even offers lessons on how a plant-based diet can improve brain function, heart health, and scores of chronic diseases.
The Kickstart program also features more than 100 low-fat recipes that will help you reap these health benefits. Some have chocolate! Bon appétit!

| 0:00.0 | Happy 2019. Happy New Year to each and every one of you. Thanks for kicking off the New |
| 0:15.0 | Year 2019 with us here on the Enzamer Podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee. |
| 0:19.6 | Hello, I am Baby New Year, the Weight Loss Champion. Chuck Carroll, thanks for joining us. |
| 0:24.2 | You know, the New Year, synonymous. New Year's resolutions, you just can't avoid it. A lot of |
| 0:30.2 | people they want to make more money. They want to get a new job. But I think that the biggest |
| 0:35.4 | single resolution that there is out there is not just losing weight, but getting healthy |
| 0:41.8 | as a whole. We've just spent this past month, month and a half since Thanksgiving, probably |
| 0:47.0 | consuming a few too many cookies and some other things that we otherwise maybe should have |
| 0:52.2 | skipped or at least had a little bit more in moderation. You notice you step on the |
| 0:56.2 | scale. You may not be happy with what it is. You see, it's time. It is time to take control |
| 1:01.3 | of your health. And so I can think of no better person to help us get started on the right |

| 1:18.2 | Great to be with you again. Congratulations on your new book. I'm very excited about |
| 1:22.9 | this. This is exactly why I wanted you on the show beyond just this wealth of information |
| 1:27.5 | that you have in that noggin of years. You've just put out this new book, The Vegan Starter |
| 1:32.0 | Kit. Everything you need to know about plant-based eating. I'm a fan of this book, particularly |
| 1:37.5 | the fact that it's a quick read. Well, that was the whole idea. I've written books |
| 1:41.8 | before about particular topics like power foods for the brain or the kickstart book. |
| 1:47.0 | But each one of them is thick enough to prop open a door. It's really commitment to |
| 1:54.0 | a topic area. But I talked with my publisher. I said, there are so many people who are interested |
| 1:59.4 | in trying out a vegan diet. They want to lose weight or they want to be kinder to animals |
