Meet Javant Benton: The new voice behind vegan, no-oil diets

Plant-based, no-oil eating? That’s the message behind the new bestselling cookbook Make Your Own by Javant Benton, who lost 85 pounds and restored his health.

Years ago, Benton was struggling with high blood pressure, high blood sugar and a cancer scare. A diet heavy on meat, fried foods and cooking oils was stealing his health. But then he made a miraculous switch to wholesome vegan eating without a drop of cooking oil. The transformation was remarkable—he lost 85 pounds and got his health back! Now he’s on a mission to share this gift with others through his inspiring YouTube channel and Instagram platform. (Learn all about his eating advice here.) Now Benton has nearly 1 million loyal followers online. Keep reading for success stories from two of his fans.

Janice lost 36 pounds and reversed her diabetes

Janice T., 70, started eating more of Benton’s vegan diet recipes and cut her meat consumption in half. Then she saw the type of quick results people dream about. She lost 6 pounds the first month and went on to drop 36 pounds and two pant sizes total. She also improved her blood pressure and lowered her diabetes A1C from 7.2 to 5.2—her doctor even took her off medication!

Janice shares, “My favourite Javant-inspired recipes are the white bean chili with Cajun cornbread, vegan buffalo sandwich with spicy mango buffalo sauce, sun-dried tomato pasta salad and German chocolate cake. However, there are so many delicious, healthy recipes!”

Diana dropped 30 pounds after heart surgery and cancer

After major open-heart surgery and a cancer diagnosis, Diana Morgan Burgess gained weight even though she ate clean, avoided meat and exercised. She needed to shake things up a bit. So she cut out oils and tried Benton’s dishes. “That made a huge difference.” As a result, she lost more than 30 pounds and is now cancer-free. She also improved her sleep quality and eliminated the chronic mucus in her throat. “People think I’m lying about being 64. Health is wealth!”

How Diana conquered her sweet tooth

Diana had a huge sweet tooth. But Benton taught her to quiet cravings by snacking on medjool dates. “It makes a difference in my appetite.” Plus, eating vegan with no oils hasn’t stolen Diana’s “food joy.” She says, “I totally enjoy my food. You can be creative with it.”

Diana, a business owner in Jamaica, admits she started out as a sceptic. But after improving her health, she’s a believer. Now she gives people copies of Benton’s vegan, no-oil cookbook. “Obesity is a real problem in my community. I’m helping people get healthy!”
