About this episode
This is how you have a vegan Thanksgiving for non-vegans! To prove that a big plant-based meal can satisfy even the most macho meat eaters, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll enjoys a feast with Super Bowl winning running back Ricky Ervins and long-time sports writer Rick Snider. They broke bread together just down the road from the headquarters of Washington's NFL team and oh what a feast they had! The master chefs at GreenFare Organic Café and Restaurant whipped up all the classics: mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, stuffing, vegan macaroni and cheese, brightly colored salad, sweet potato pumpkin bars — literally everything but the turkey! For Rick and Ricky, it was a flavorful touchdown and a heck of an education, one that they may pay forward with their families at their own tables this year! Chuck also delves into the science of a plant-based Thanksgiving with dietician Susan Levin. How does the body react differently to a big meal without meat compared to one that serves some? How might a vegan meal help keep you in a better mood and prevent little dustups over dinner? And are you less likely to slip into a food coma after you eat a vegan Thanksgiving dinner? Susan has the answers! --- --- Free Thanksgiving e-cookbook https://wghtloss.cc/2KU9L0X --- --- GreenFare Organic Café Thanksgiving Reservations: https://wghtloss.cc/GFReservations --- --- Rick Snider Twitter: @Snide_Remarks IG: @capitalphotohistorytours --- --- Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook --- --- Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook --- --- Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts , Spotify or many other podcast providers.
