This is spot on Liz thankyou, I gave up meat and most dairy for years, I'm paying the price diagnosed osteoporosis and raised coeliac levels. I'm on a mission back to healthy sources of meat and fish, exercising and yoga and weights for balance and strength. I can feel myself gaining healthy muscle already in just a few weeks. I have always been slim but this wasn't healthy. Its muscle mass and bone strength that's imperative as we age. I am so grateful for you highlighting this Liz we must educate our children about this. Thankyou Liz 🥰
I have been vegetarian for over 40 years - never felt better went through the menopause no problem - no HRT - bones good etc - I don’t consume - meat, fish or alcohol -
That’s really interesting I began to eat fish and occasionally chicken again after my vegetarian period / and am going through perimenopause now But I have noticed that I felt better on a vegetarian diet compared to my chicken and fish eating days Wondered if just in my head
I have been vegetarian since I left primary school and compulsory school meals stopped. I am now 66. I do eat fish sometimes but worry about pollutants from the sea. I also recently underwent a full hysterectomy. No more oestrogen so I am for the first time thinking carefully about doing weight bearing exercises. I am also thinking very carefully about taking food supplements. I used to take a multi vitamin tablet but stopped taking it before my operation because I was afraid it would have an adverse effect on my health
I tried going vegan and felt absolutely wretched. I now embrace meat, fish, eggs, and yes, full fat raw milk. At 63 I feel better than I have for quite a while. Xx
Agree thank you liz for being confident to openly speak, we have been told for far too long to feel shame for eating meat products and fats, and narrative being pushed for so long that eating animals and fats is so unhealthy, Tosh, our ancestors thrived on this, so glad we finally are going back to old ways that includes how it's kept and made, eventually it will all go back that way, but with modern help today. We need fats and need fat in our body, especially women, BUT it swinging other way too with people hooked on carbs and obesity levels high, and again media trying to push the health at every size BS, and fat body positive push, that's not right or healthy either.
Love raw milk however, I believe many councils prohibited farmers from selling it, the old traditional ‘real foods’ are proven to be the healthiest and best for longevity. ( often the opposite recommendation that we here from the establishment) 👍
What about all the research into a plant based lifestyle done by Dr T Colin Campbell & heart surgeon Dr Esselstyn that have shown how inflammatory meat & dairy products are to our bodies & how eliminating them can transform our health completely?
Honestly, they are extremely biased these plant based studies and I wouldn't take it at gospel. Paul Saladino MD is brilliant at challenging these flawed bias studies, he is a Doctor and was an cardiac specialist who took on another 6yrs of nutritional training, I was actually shocked to learn much of what he expressed about plant based diets detrimental effect on health, was exactly how it impacted me when eating vegan for 2yrs, thanks to him I got confident about eating meat etc, and I eventually healed. He's a little over enthusiastic but he's worth checking out.
I’m 54 years old did 33 years vegetarian & vegan. Worst thing I ever did I ended up in intensive care due to the way I ate now I’m full on carnivore the proper human diet and drink raw milk and butter meat egg cheese fish I have never felt better than I do now love your video Liz take care faye uk 🇬🇧
So true regarding low fat,my husband and I like you would eat low fat we have realised that is not the way to go so we have started eating fat again.When we speak to friends who are 80 upwards they mention they have never eaten low fat food so that's proof to us we were on the wrong track.I do have to watch my fat content as my Gallbladder was removed 9 years ago which was the biggest mistake of my life and never realised how important that organ was so do your homework before having it removed,I'm still here so that's a bonus.😊Congratulations Liz on becoming a Grandmother .😊 I've also received my wellbeing magazine thank you.😊❤
I was the same most of my adult life thinking I was being health no dairy very little meat then went total vegan. Result lost too much weight and hair! Now through research am enjoying a real human diet of everything animal based nothing processed and It’s great thanks for using your opinion platform for spreading the word.
I've started using weights, 2kg,3kg now up to 4kg.... Can only do this now my hormones are better thanks to HRT... migraines were my worst culprit... when My oestrogen dropped.. migraines twice a week sometimes... Thanks for all your menopause advice and teaching us a better 2nd half, book on its way... 📖 ❤
I and many of my friends did the Rosemary Conley diet in the 90's which was a low fat and a fairly high sugar diet. Fat was the enemy and we fell for it big time. I'm 66 and I try not to eat low fat rubbish filled with additives, but it's hard to shake off 'you must must keep your fats low'.
Processed foods introduced in the 70s and 80s were appalling and many more unhealthy mass produced foods since. I can totally relate to the mistakes you have made Liz, and like you I’ve corrected them and now feel strong and in the best health ever at 63. 💪
I’m 52 and woke up to the poor dietary advice we have been fed for years a few years ago. I now eat a keto type diet with lots of meat, fish, raw dairy, eggs, green veg and a few berries here and there. I go full carnivore for a few weeks if I feel tired, bloated or inflamed in joints and that sorts it out. I love your advice for mid life ladies. We can make positive charges that have palpable results by making simple changes xxx
I respect everyone’s choices but please don’t mistake veganism for a diet. It’s a lifestyle that goes beyond food. If you cut out animal products from your diet then you’re simply plant based. You may think it’s petty me pointing this out but vegans are primarily about avoiding animal cruelty, exploitation and consumption.
LIZ EARLE - you have finally seen the light & I have much more respect & confidence in you!!! Brains, Beauty & Humility. And, may I say, that’s why I subscribe to your UA-cam channel🎉…enjoy your weekend😊
Agree with every point of yours here ... thank you for sharing. I became aneamic, then adding back a steak once every 2 weeks helped reverse it ! Variety and pure state foods is the way forward in my view. You look fantastic ... congratulations on your new book I'm off to buy it now ! 😊
My mum was a big meat eater and was told by her Doctor that she would need to go on statins, as she had high cholesterol and blood pressure. She decided to participate in the Zoe app. She discovered through Zoe that her fat metabolism is bad and has changed her diet to mainly plant based, and drinks kefir, which seems to suit her, as she has less joint pain and is feeling much better, thanks to Zoe.
I've never dieted but also never eat fast food , fish and chicken cook quickly anyway. I went to keep fit classes in my 40's and have always walked everywhere and carried shopping .At 75 yrs old I use 3k weights and practice getting up off the floor , because if you don't keep strong you can't get out of the chair ,which means you can't get to the loo .Do I want a carer wiping my bum ? Not if I can avoid it.
Hi Liz, I have used goat's milk for years, Semi skimmed or whole, I started to drink it because I have coeliac disease, and found it was easier to absorb and gentle on my tummy, than cow's Milk, also it's good for the skin 😊
I removed all inflammatory causing foods from my diet. I gave up meat, fish, dairy, sugar, gluten and veg oils. Have to take B12, vit D and food based iron. I consume organic extra virgin oil, organic virgin coconut oil and walnut oil. So high protein, high fat and very low carb - sugar = wrinkles.
Totally agree ! My friend was a vegetarian and even thought she did very things organic and home made.. it didn’t work for her as her health suffered and now she quitting vegetarian. There is so many doctors out there warning people. Also plan base is worse for the people environment. The research is out there.
Hi 👋 I’m new to your channel and I have just subscribed. I agree completely with what you’ve said in your video. I was vegetarian for 5 years and dairy free. I have now turned around doing a 180 and gone back to eating meat, love eating eggs, and full fat in everything. We have been fed a load of lies about low fat diets. It’s the sugar industry that is killing us and is only interested in profit. Maltodexrin is another bad food that I try to avoid and it’s in pretty much everything including some varieties of baked beans. Thank you for your lovely video and you look amazing at 60. ❤❤
I'm still mostly vegan because I cannot tolerate eggs or dairy. Sometimes, I'll have a bit of fish. But the BIG difference for me was not worrying about eating low fat. I have coconut in my oatmeal and I try to eat an avocado every day. It's made all the difference in my feeling of well-being.
I’m not dairy free and don’t want to be but too much of it causes acid reflux. I buy the least processed plant milk I can find in the supermarket (plenish) what is the best alternative to to this please and what about non diary kefir & yoghurt?
I’m 60 and spent about 20 years trying to eat a low fat vegetarian and then plant based diet. I hated food and used to throw most of my main meal in the bin. I indoctrinated myself that any fat or animal products would make me end up with cancer or heart disease. It was only when I started tracking my macros that I realised I was struggling to get enough protein. I know you can get protein from lentils etc but I can’t eat huge quantities of food and hated being bloated and looking like I was 6 month pregnant in the evenings. I have eaten animal products for several years now. I still don’t really like food but at least I can get all the essential nutrients without eating huge quantities. I generally feel better and am slim and very fit. I’ve been teetotal all my life but that won’t change as I hate alcohol.
I really needed to see this today , I’m so overwhelmed about what to eat & not eat 🙄 I’m in perrimenapause & really suffering due to My sensitivity to hormones pmdd … so frightened to take HRT & totally confused about what I should be eating. thank you 🙏
Been vegan for 10 years and I would never go back to eating animal products. Veganism is about ethics, not wellness. I eat a lot of whole foods. There is a lot of science to support this being the best diet for health.
What you’re saying is so true. It looks like there is now beginning to be a backlash against veganism as so many vegan products contain additives. And how on earth people can choose margarine, or pretend butter, over real butter is beyond me.
What a shock. I have been a vegetarian for 40 plus years but I have my cheese eggs milk as a personal choice. I found that when we came back to UK from 40 years in South Africa I couldn't get tvp and I loved my Fry's vegetarian polony. Looking forward to more videos.
Yep 2yrs of Veganism was really detrimental to my mental and physical health, I actually became very unwell, then caught COVID and I suffered for months, blood tests revealed I was completely deficient in iron, vitamin D and many more vital nutrients despite cooking "healthy" and from scratch. I was so unwell I had a complete breakdown, I lost a lot of weight, muscle mass, hair loss, my skin was terrible had rashes like never before, my hormones were a mess. It was the most horrific experience of my life. I immediately begun introducing animal sources back into my diet 2yrs ago starting with eggs, then a little bit of beef, reintroduced dairy, fish, honey, its taken me a long time to heal that's fir sure, feeling much healthier and have gained muscle again, hair growing back much healthier and gained a bit of healthy weight back too. There's a reason why 85% of people give up being vegan, because it's not optimal, very few people do ok on it, men do better on it than women, I'm guessing that's because we need the healthy fats to help manufacture hormones for healthy reproduction etc. Thanks for talking about it, as you can tell by my reaction I completely relate to all you have expressed, people genuinely need educating instead of believing the lies and propaganda we are so exposed to today.
Everything in moderation. I eat meat. Ideally I would like to consume free range grass fed, but maybe once a week or fortnight. Butter is great. I am slowly switching cooking from sunflower oil to coconut oil and using olive oil as a drizzle over all sorts of things. Our brains, skin and organs all need fat. The other really important things are walking daily, deep breathing, prayer and a good night's sleep.
Thank you Liz, this is making me think again as to what to do for the best. I much prefer dairy to oat milk and other vegan options, and I worry about the processing involved. However, looking at saturated fat content and trying to reduce my cholesterol, I'm just so confused! ❤
Fab talk today Liz ,finally we are all waking up to a better way of eating ,i was always on low fat everything ,believing i was doing everything right ....now its low carb ,keto ,back to the old days of beef dripping and grass fed butter ,and never felt better Please can you talk more about the excersise you do ,that is one thing i need to step up on and combine it with my threadmill Each day ,is it best to start with 2kg weights ...x
A vegan diet didn't work for me either. I felt very tired and lost too much weight. Now I eat cheese, kefir and eggs again I feel so much better. I did eat chicken and fish but gave up for several reasons. I do not miss it, I feel very energetic and do not look gaunt without meat in my diet.
I lost 20 pounds in no time on macrobiotic. My sister in law got involved because it was suppose to be a cancer killer. Well I will say she did past away but I stood on it. Anyway I would add some things but kept losing. I was down to 103 and kept going down. I finally quit.
If you're intolerant, we'd advise making your own plant-based from scratch to ensure there's no unwanted ingredients. Lots of recipes on our website ❤️
Thank you for sharing, am loving the book. Where can I find info for my 1 year old grandson who is allergic to milk. He is going to be doing the milk allergy ladder in the mean time they have suggested oat milk but as you say they are full of rubbish. Is it better to have say Plenish brand, which has nothing added and supplement him. We can’t or don’t know where to look for answers. Much love 🌿
If he can't tolerate milk and you'd like to use oat milk instead, you can try making from scratch yourself so there's no unwanted ingredients (we have recipes for nut milks and oat milk on our website). But they won't have the same nutritional value as dairy milk ❤️
Same Liz, worked with Mayumi, Madonna's x chef, amazing lady BUT she is Japanese and includes Fish............worst was an American and Scottish couple, that I actually put in my then Vegan magazines, oh yeah! I was in it like you and I feel my gut suffered for this and now cannot eat lentils and pulses as ferment in my stomach, I have a histamine intolerance & Autistic, 2 things seem to go together after long research..........Macrobiotic is not for everyone at all, I work better with real proteins
Sounds like you weren’t eating much the way you describe it. Were you eating enough on a vegan diet. I feel many may do not eat a healthy vegan diet. I feel it needs much thought to be really successful.
It is awful isnt it we were following all this misinformation in the 70s. i worry for my sons as they have never seemed to be able to tolerate dairy and ive had to use those awful plant milks. It goes against what im doing for myself. Very frustrating. Special needs are constant.
@@lizearlewellbeing He's on yt - spends $2 million a year on anti aging protocols tested by Doctors. Has had every test imaginable I tried what he eats in a day - vegan with many supplements, exercise, sleep analysis and how he stays young turning back the clock. He looks weird it's not for me.
I bought into the low fat fad for years. I gained weight not long after starting eating all those processed lower than low fat products that hit the shelf and did not see the connection! I have been on low carb/high fat for over 4 years now and I am never going back. I also resolved to never again listen to any recommendations done by institutions pretending to care for our health. They have their own agenda and vested interests. And I sincerely hope Ancel Keys is burning somewhere for his corruption and lies that affected millions of people.
Help! I’m embarking on an anti-inflammatory lifestyle as my hands and joints are aching. I’ve been avoiding sugar for the last 7 years, don’t drink alcohol and was no dairy. Went vegetarian but 4 years of bloating was enough and I now eat fish and turkey. I’ve started eating more eggs, ditched the oat milk because of the rapeseed oil in it (never bought the enriched ones). Now have organic full fat milk, organic butter and plain Greek yogurt. Would definitely try raw milk but no suppliers in my area. Trying to wade my way through the current minefield of supplements - have taken cod liver oil, omega 3 and vit d for years but now just started on collagen - considering adding turmeric. Can you think of anything else? 🤔🤔🤔
Hi Deb! Tumeric can be helpful for aching joints - do check out The Naked Pharmacy's Natruflex.

A problem with consuming a lot of animal products is the saturated fat which can raise cholesterol and block arteries. If eating lots of animal fat was a good idea the people in America would be the healthiest and those eating mainly plant based, in the Mediterranean for example would be dropping like flies!
I feel very aligned with Liz’s way of eating and her thoughts on what we should be eating as this is the way I choose to eat and I know works best for my body. I too have an issue converting vitamin A (retinol). However as a Nutritional Therapist we are taught to treat everyone as individuals which is how I treat my clients so more emphasis such as “this is what works for me” was needed. We are all different, all have different needs, preferences, beliefs and values. There is no one size fits all approach to healthy eating. @julesritterlivingwell.
This is spot on Liz thankyou, I gave up meat and most dairy for years, I'm paying the price diagnosed osteoporosis and raised coeliac levels. I'm on a mission back to healthy sources of meat and fish, exercising and yoga and weights for balance and strength. I can feel myself gaining healthy muscle already in just a few weeks. I have always been slim but this wasn't healthy. Its muscle mass and bone strength that's imperative as we age. I am so grateful for you highlighting this Liz we must educate our children about this. Thankyou Liz 🥰

I have been vegetarian for over 40 years - never felt better went through the menopause no problem - no HRT - bones good etc - I don’t consume - meat, fish or alcohol -
Appreciate you sharing your experience ❤️
That’s really interesting
I began to eat fish and occasionally chicken again after my vegetarian period / and am going through perimenopause now
But I have noticed that I felt better on a vegetarian diet compared to my chicken and fish eating days
Wondered if just in my head

We all fell for the ditch butter, lard and use margarine and sunflower oil..not now..we only buy butter and cold pressed olive oil...
Great!
Not all of us fell for that guff. Butter all the way, goose and duck fat for cooking, olive and avocado oils. No ‘vegetable’ oils.
Thank you Liz for being brave enough to speak against popular narrative for the cause of good health span for women 👏😃
Thanks for the support! ❤️
Agree thank you liz for being confident to openly speak, we have been told for far too long to feel shame for eating meat products and fats, and narrative being pushed for so long that eating animals and fats is so unhealthy, Tosh, our ancestors thrived on this, so glad we finally are going back to old ways that includes how it's kept and made, eventually it will all go back that way, but with modern help today.

Grains and pulses are the inflammatory components, not meat and fish. Dairy is more debatable, but the more organic and grass-fed, the better.

Came here to say exactly the same thing. All these people who say "I was vegan". No, you were plant based.
Oh give it a rest
@@bexboo8 there is also plant cruelty .. plants also have feelings. They build defense mechanism so we don’t kill then
There's pesticides on vegan food to kill the herbivore animals... vegan ism is delusional.

Fab talk today Liz ,finally we are all waking up to a better way of eating ,i was always on low fat everything ,believing i was doing everything right ....now its low carb ,keto ,back to the old days of beef dripping and grass fed butter ,and never felt better
Please can you talk more about the excersise you do ,that is one thing i need to step up on and combine it with my threadmill
Each day ,is it best to start with 2kg weights ...x
Noted! ❤️
A vegan diet didn't work for me either. I felt very tired and lost too much weight. Now I eat cheese, kefir and eggs again I feel so much better. I did eat chicken and fish but gave up for several reasons. I do not miss it, I feel very energetic and do not look gaunt without meat in my diet.
Thanks for sharing ❤️
So inspirational, Liz - i have my copy, reading it at the moment. The best money I've spent and such an investment in ME...🌸💕
Hope you enjoy it!
I lost 20 pounds in no time on macrobiotic. My sister in law got involved because it was suppose to be a cancer killer. Well I will say she did past away but I stood on it. Anyway I would add some things but kept losing. I was down to 103 and kept going down. I finally quit.
Appreciate you sharing your experience ❤️
Yes, love raw milk, have a wonderful dairy farm that have a vending machine and you can reuse your glass bottles, fabulous xx
Lovely!
What plant based milk is best. I’m dairy intolerant but want a healthy alternative
If you're intolerant, we'd advise making your own plant-based from scratch to ensure there's no unwanted ingredients. Lots of recipes on our website ❤️
Thank you for sharing, am loving the book.
Where can I find info for my 1 year old grandson who is allergic to milk. He is going to be doing the milk allergy ladder in the mean time they have suggested oat milk but as you say they are full of rubbish. Is it better to have say Plenish brand, which has nothing added and supplement him. We can’t or don’t know where to look for answers. Much love 🌿
If he can't tolerate milk and you'd like to use oat milk instead, you can try making from scratch yourself so there's no unwanted ingredients (we have recipes for nut milks and oat milk on our website). But they won't have the same nutritional value as dairy milk ❤️
I agree with everything you say
❤️
Same Liz, worked with Mayumi, Madonna's x chef, amazing lady BUT she is Japanese and includes Fish............worst was an American and Scottish couple, that I actually put in my then Vegan magazines, oh yeah! I was in it like you and I feel my gut suffered for this and now cannot eat lentils and pulses as ferment in my stomach, I have a histamine intolerance & Autistic, 2 things seem to go together after long research..........Macrobiotic is not for everyone at all, I work better with real proteins
Appreciate you sharing your experience ❤️
It’s important that we have raw milk it needs to be available
Sounds like you weren’t eating much the way you describe it. Were you eating enough on a vegan diet. I feel many may do not eat a healthy vegan diet. I feel it needs much thought to be really successful.
It is awful isnt it we were following all this misinformation in the 70s. i worry for my sons as they have never seemed to be able to tolerate dairy and ive had to use those awful plant milks. It goes against what im doing for myself. Very frustrating. Special needs are constant.
Appreciate you sharing your experience ❤️
No wonder you didn’t do well if you were only eating such a restrictive diet! That’s not about being vegan though.
Would love to hear your views on Bryan Johnson - vegan what he eats every day and 100 pills. What he is doing to become younger lol.
This isn't someone the team is familiar with ❤️
@@lizearlewellbeing He's on yt - spends $2 million a year on anti aging protocols tested by Doctors. Has had every test imaginable I tried what he eats in a day - vegan with many supplements, exercise, sleep analysis and how he stays young turning back the clock. He looks weird it's not for me.
I bought into the low fat fad for years. I gained weight not long after starting eating all those processed lower than low fat products that hit the shelf and did not see the connection! I have been on low carb/high fat for over 4 years now and I am never going back. I also resolved to never again listen to any recommendations done by institutions pretending to care for our health. They have their own agenda and vested interests. And I sincerely hope Ancel Keys is burning somewhere for his corruption and lies that affected millions of people.
Great to hear it's working for you! ❤️
Wish I could get raw milk. I only buy non homogonised full cream milk.

Worst mistake Liz earle brand made was destroying your daily moisturiser …never buying the brand again ..they ruined your brand
Help! I’m embarking on an anti-inflammatory lifestyle as my hands and joints are aching. I’ve been avoiding sugar for the last 7 years, don’t drink alcohol and was no dairy. Went vegetarian but 4 years of bloating was enough and I now eat fish and turkey. I’ve started eating more eggs, ditched the oat milk because of the rapeseed oil in it (never bought the enriched ones). Now have organic full fat milk, organic butter and plain Greek yogurt. Would definitely try raw milk but no suppliers in my area.
Trying to wade my way through the current minefield of supplements - have taken cod liver oil, omega 3 and vit d for years but now just started on collagen - considering adding turmeric. Can you think of anything else? 🤔🤔🤔
Hi Deb! Tumeric can be helpful for aching joints - do check out The Naked Pharmacy's Natruflex. They have a great team of pharmacists on hand who will be able to answer any questions you may have about the products.

If the full-fat butter meat eating way of life is better for us why have to take so many supplements?
A problem with consuming a lot of animal products is the saturated fat which can raise cholesterol and block arteries.
If eating lots of animal fat was a good idea the people in America would be the healthiest and those eating mainly plant based, in the Mediterranean for example would be dropping like flies!
I drink raw milk every day 🐄 🥛
❤️
Are you still teetotal Liz?
no shes not
No, Liz enjoys a drink every now and then in moderation ❤️
I feel very aligned with Liz’s way of eating and her thoughts on what we should be eating as this is the way I choose to eat and I know works best for my body. I too have an issue converting vitamin A (retinol). However as a Nutritional Therapist we are taught to treat everyone as individuals which is how I treat my clients so more emphasis such as “this is what works for me” was needed. We are all different, all have different needs, preferences, beliefs and values. There is no one size fits all approach to healthy eating. @julesritterlivingwell.
