First I want that shirt. Second I thought in the thumbnail you were sipping tea. I was yelling in my head for you to spill all the tea and make my cup runeth over you silly bitch. For real though I love 99% of your videos.
Pienso que freelee tiene razón y que tomas mucho café, el café es malo. Mi esposo toma mucho café como tú y es porque las personas se hacen adictas y no pueden concentrase sin café.
Freelee barely sells anything (a few ebooks), just her lifestyle for FREE! Unlike other "vegan"/non-vegan youtubers promoting protein powders, expensive health retreats, restrictive eating etc. She does none of that
My issue with freelee is she promotes skepticism towards science and nutrition and medical community. Plus why would you make veganism harder than it needs to be!
The two funniest things about it is she constantly harps on about blood tests which are done by Doctors. And she constantly cherrypicks studies which fit her narrative but then is saying all other studies are funded by meat / dairy industry. She is constantly contradicting herself, honestly I watch her just because it’s like watching a case study in grandiose delusions.
You really don't watch her videos do you? She literally quotes physicians who devote their careers to studying nutrition, so how exactly is she skeptical towards science? By no means i support her raw food diet, but you are being very ignorant. Or would you rather listen to the wise words of Swayze the caffeine junkie? The woman who goes against the scientific concensus.
Freelee shoots her message in the foot by constantly criticizing people's looks and by showing off her own body as an argument for Raw Til 4. She claims lofty ideals--anti-cruelty, etc--but she always swings back to bullying people over their appearance and flaunting her figure.
And also packaging all of that under the guise of 'feminism' which she only uses to further criticise other women for having diverse body types, wearing makeup, etc. She thinks she's the ideal specimen of a woman and everyone else should conform to that or they're doing something wrong. You're totally right, her entire message is completely contradicted by all of that.
Freelee never said any of those things unnatural vegan claims she “thinks” ... so unnatural vegan has superpower to read people’s mind? Freelee is not deficient in anything, if you check one of her videos she goes through her blood tests... I think 4 videos on freelee critic on her diet is way too exaggerated ... No way.
@@esmereldacrow7194 i re-read my comment, I wrote it too quickly I think. ... thank you esmeralda for your answer ... what does deluded mean in this context? Look I’m really nobody to say what’s good and what’s bad but I agree with freelee... it’s so unfair to make audience think freelee has this or that opinion about unnatural vegan. Very objectively, even if I didn’t like freelee I would still agree with what she said... Imagine if someone was making accusing you of thinking bad things ... it doesn’t make much sense. S
@@donatina1987The things Swayze said about Freelee are not accusations, they are true. I followed Freelee for a really long time, only because I believed in her care for the animals. I have watched her say all of these things in her videos. But I had to unfollow her content because she constantly gives her audience lies and dangerous false information about health. Especially to young girls. I don't dislike Freelee, she just gives out bad, dangerous information and fatshames women and I find that disgusting. She is a hypocrite saying she is a feminist when she is constantly criticising women's bodies.
That’s what I was thinking. I’m like “the pot calling the kettle black” perhaps lol. Like ma’am, didn’t Durian Rider take over your entire life while y’all were together?
@@nicolesapphire3696 I always think this . She says appearance doesn’t matter ok so why are you in a crop top showing off your fake boobs and stomach In every video and saying everyone should look like you ? If she just admitted she cared about her appearance I wouldn’t care but it’s the fact she says she doesn’t . She said she didn’t wear makeup but now she is making her own from beetroot berries and coconut oil .. that’s still makeup lol
I also find it interesting that Freelee will watch videos of influencers with acne and say that it is evidence of their poor diet but does not use clear skin as evidence of a good diet. Like you have very clear skin, why is that not evidence of a good diet?
@Richard Hoffman she made a video saying that she regrets them but doesn’t want to have another surgery to remove them unless it’s an emergency. She still has the implants.
How about you actually listen to what Freelee has said in her videos? Freelee doesn't go for anyone, Swayze's diet is horrendous, literally lives off caffeine and is being extremely disingenuous towards others. Sure, listen to these types of people, or educate yourself for once.
@@Kristers_K I'm not talking about whose diet is better. I'm talking about the fact that Freelee hits below the belt and needlessly uses ad hominem attacks. I'm talking about the fact that Freelee seems to have this incessant need to take others down, to the point where she calls caffeine users drug addicts. I love her speeches on makeup and hair removal though. Good stuff. But this catty attitude of hers about diet is really nasty.
@@Kristers_K that's a laugh, I truly can't imagine how you filter her content to get that impression. Every time I start watching a Freelee video that responds to another person I end up turning it off out of disgust because she goes for EVERYONE in such unnecessarily personal and/or condescending ways.
@@ksmspeace You mean people who needlessly munch on animal carcasses and follow ridiculous fad diets? She is calling out such people and people who eat junk we are not meant to eat, nothing she does is ''personal'', it's all about what is scientific. Do you even understand what her message is, what veganism stands for? Or do you need it repeated in your ears a million times? It's not a diet, you don't take babysteps or improvise.
A friend of mine formed a friendship with Freelee and was following her diet back before she added cooked food. Her periods became out of control and she was pouring blood every month, couldn’t leave the house because she would bleed through pads and clothing so much so she would have to stay home and sit on bathroom towels to soak up leakage. Sorry for the tmi. Freelee just kept telling her it was a good thing that it was her body releasing toxins. This went on for months and months. Ultimately friend made some dietary changes because she was so ill and anemic. Freelee was giving terrible and likely dangerous advice.
I hate the detoxing narrative that is pushed by so many vegans!! If you start getting bad symptoms it's your body telling you the changes are not good, not that it's detoxing lol
@HI HEY HELLO not many people know this but a very important factor in humans becoming humans (developing our brains to the complex stage of today) was cooking their food. Fully raw is unnatural for us, ofc some fruit and veggies are more nutritious when served raw but our metabolism requires cooked food and the release of complex carbohydrates that comes from exposing the food to a heat source. Not a chemist so i might fk up some english terms but that’s the jist of it: we are omnivores and can’t digest or process some foods that aren’t cooked. Fully Raw Kristina is crazy and others like her are plain dangerous with their advice, freele included
She's not even a doctor or anything... she doesn't even have any degree in nutrition, she just makes stuff up and tries to convince everyone it's the Holly truth... what a crazy woman
I just will never understand raw. Cooking stuff doesn't ruin food. For example, leafy greens can provide you different nutrients raw and cooked, so eat both.
@@hirawnick But easier to digest for some people after cooking. Breaking down the cellulose wall can help certain people eat fibrous foods when they otherwise would suffer. If the choice is between not eating the food, and eating it cooked, there's a clear correct choice there.
Yep ironically red meat can be eaten undercooked (usually medium and above is considered safe) but most raw or undercooked veggies can be deemed dangerous things like kale or cabbage can't be digested as well unless cooked.
So FreeLee is not just THE definitive expert on diet, nutrition, health, disease, she’s also a relationship expert now. Based on how much fruit someone does or doesn’t eat. Gotcha, gotcha. Cool cool cool cool cool.
@@Kristers_K Citing one doctor isn't enough. You can find scientists who deny climate change, doctors who claim that autism can be "cured" with bleach, all sorts. She needs to cite studies, preferably meta-analyses, with high population sizes and good methodologies.
As a lab technician student I love that new merch XD Basically we are all walking chemical experiments, including Freelee. Life is based around chemical reactions in our bodies and our enviroment.
I actually saw Freelee once, here in Los Angeles, at VegFest. It was several years ago. I've never really watched her channel much, but I knew who she was, and she was a BIG DEAL speaker at the event. I was kind of amazed as I watched her arrive. She was with Durianrider (sp?) at the time, and they were walking across the park (VegFest is typically held at a large park in Van Nuys) and watching the gaggle of *dozens* of people, mostly very young women, follow her as she arrived was truly fascinating. She finally stopped under a tree, I guess for a meet & greet and photo ops, and I stood back to observe. She seemed genuinely gentle and caring, very warm and friendly to her *insanely adoring* fans. The boyfriend seemed surly and intense. I don't think she had any kind of entourage, I think it was literally just her and her boyfriend, but even just 6 or so years ago (when this happened) VegFest and even veganism still wasn't as organized as it is now. But as far as not being the same on camera as in person, watching her was interesting, I didn't feel the need to meet her, but observing her definitely stuck with me. She was of course quite small, delicate features, big eyes, and the body language between her and her boyfriend was a little uncomfortable to watch. But she hugged many fans, and seemed genuinely sweet and caring toward them. I'm not particularly a fan, but remembering this day has kept me from being a hater.
This is kind of how miles from healthy crazy cool talks about her too-that she’s a genuine sweetheart despite her attitude/Appearance on UA-cam. Look, I believe that freelee genuinely cares about the animals, albeit her approach may push people away from veganism more than it invites them in, but I always have a soft spot for her.
Just a though...why wouldn’t she be ‘sweet’ to her fans? Her online income relies on these people continuing to support her. Her UA-cam channel was going off and her income was rising, the rewards she was getting were many. Many others in the past have had awful experiences with her, including the girls who gained tonnes of weight on her diet advice. When they asked her why (this is before she came up with the ‘metabolic damage’ excuse) she told them it was their fault and blocked them! Not sweet, not caring. Perhaps if she was observed in a less favourable circumstance with people questioning her about her awful online persona, she may not appear so ‘sweet’.
@@sashamiranda9336 No saying she isn't misguided, and this once again points to the difference of online vs in person interactions. It's worth mentioning however, that having lived and worked my entire life in LA, I've seen many, many public figures who rely on their popularity for their incomes, be indifferent, standoffish and outright nasty or callous to their fans.
@@jennifers2555 Leanne operates with a facade as all narcissistic people do. If something doesn’t ‘look good’ the they will try to refrain from those behaviours, especially in public when it may expose the parts of themselves they don’t wish to expose. We have all met some ‘terribly nice’ people, only to learn that it’s all a bit of a show, and are exploitative in either their personal relationships or professional ones. They just aren’t as easy to spot right away. When fans or adulation are involved, then these people are supplying fuel for her ‘false self’. She will be whatever she needs to be to keep that. I think Leanne has some empathic traits so may be a mid range type of narcissist. Some narcissistic types feel more emboldened behind closed doors or by creating a persona online. I don’t think Leanne would feel so emboldened in person to say half the things she says online. She isn’t that brave.
I love how you can watch Freelee's video and maturely react to it and respond to it in a more appropriate and reasonable way. Freelee's first reaction is calling what you say trashing. I mean is that not a reflection of herself? That says enough about her lack of being able to take feedback. You give a really great example on how to approach veganism on a more respectful and reasonable level. I totally resonate with this. Respect to you for calling people out on their mistakes in a constructive and positive way :) On another note I even stopped calling myself vegan recently now after 5 years because of allot of unnecessary drama in the community, there is constantly somebody criticising who is or isnt 'really' vegan or vegan enough. Now I call myself 100% plantbased. I really cant stand being associated with a community that has people with an unhealthy habit of shitting on anything or anyone that cant live up to 'personal opinions' of their perfect vegan standards when there are those of us vegans that are living our life pouring our hearts into this cruelty free lifestyle in the most sensible way we can. But it still not being enough. The toxicity in the vegan community is a very real problem in my opinion.
This gets me, I watch so much youtube and everyone seems so happy and has no personal variation, and if they do it's all retrospective like "oh yeah, that was a tough time for me, but now I'm stronger for it". I wanna know that everyone is ACTIVELY falling apart as much as I am :P
I swear she is the most stubborn woman I have ever seen in my entire life. Just as close-minded and adverse to change, learning, and growth as anyone I've ever come in contact with. And, yes, I went on her horrible diet when I was 17, went through a lot of problems, and felt horrible the entire time about how I wasn't able to will myself to be consistent.
The fact that a lot of people are thriving on her ''horrible'' diet, says a lot about what you did wrong. Look back and analyze your eating habits instead of blaming a diet.
@Winston McCurley Agreed. I lasted a few months before adding cooked vegan food back in. I just remember thinking about eating all the time and never fully being satisfied. 🤷♀️ I have been a very happy regular vegan ever since tho. 🙂
@@Kristers_K how about you stop acting like you have knowledge about diet, clearly you don’t. Also how pathetic to critique what someone did when they were 17, you know a child, you really have no tact or empathy, not surprising and quite common for the Freelee cult members. Freelees diet is 100% to low in fat for a young woman.
Winston, I feel so sad that you went through that. Early in my vegan journey I used to feel bad that I could not afford to be a raw food, organic health food only vegan, and I was full grown adult. I’m now so glad I could not afford to be one of those supposed “real” vegans. Anytime I see new vegans and especially young vegans looking for advice I get so worried, because as much as I’m shouting “please read a book from a dietician” I know there’s still a bunch of other saying follow the medical medium, go raw, do a cleanse, detox, restrictive unbalanced, low protein, pseudoscience orthorexic diets, etc, etc. I’m glad when see others give realistic and balanced advice, I think this is what I appreciate about this channel.
I’m not even a mom yet, but I realize that you can never judge a mom who admits to being exhausted. The nerve!!! G-d forbid she needs an extra cup of coffee, she’s running around all day with small children and up at nights with the baby.
I remember getting roped into freelees stuff at 11-12. At the time I was too young to know any better and I genuinely thought her rt4 diet was the epitome of health
I think you're the healthiest looking you've ever been and have found a great balance of eating healthy and NORMAL on a vegan diet which will always attract those who are jealous or upset that you're not benefiting their narrative. It iz what it izzz 🤷🏻♀️
I remembered distinctly commenting on a video of freelea giving my testimony (i was pretty tamed) on how I ended up in the hospital after a month of raw till four (i was supper anemic lol) it gained some traction and she promptly deleted it lol
I watch and enjoy you both and am by no means a fruit based vegan (tho I do love it and eat a shit ton!) BUT I have to say that Freelee is absolutely the reason I went vegan and was able to stick with it. Her message and approach is sometimes harsh and extreme but she’s passionate and above all cares about the welfare of animals first and foremost. She’s inspiring. I have 2 of her books and make recipes from them all the time as well as my own cooked meals and vegan junk if I want! I relate to you both and enjoy the middle ground. 8 years vegan and counting which I really do think is the most important thing to Freelee. Anyways luv u.
How can you stay so calm watching her saying all this horrible things... I totally got high blood pressure at some points she made cause she makes me so mad 😅
23:49 No clue if UV will see this, but The Knees Over Toes guy on youtube was really helpful for me to reduce knee and ankle pain. Might be helpful for you too!
You are absolutely stunning, and so unique.. i've always found you to be exceptionally beautiful, and actually seem to keep getting prettier somehow lol (taking the opportunity to say this as it fits with the context of the video)
Even „healthy cray cool vegan“ said that he could imagine her diet being difficult for some people to get their macros, who didn’t eat as much as him and even the amount he eat, he was still deficient. P.s he even mentions you quickly at the end ;). (It’s the Video where he lets freelee control his eating for a day) On a different note, I really appreciate your videos. I’m not completely vegan yet but I have cut out meat and most milk products by now as well as reducing my egg consumption. Im not there yet but I’m getting there and it’s because of you :) 🌸🌳.
Interestingly she took down her part 2 response to Miles diet analysis of the days food when Vegan deterioration responded to it finding a number of inconsistencies in her response such as logging the food herself in chronometer and putting in 30 instead of 20 dates and denying that conditions arise from protein deficiency
That’s very interesting and yet at the same time, not at all surprising .There where in consistencies in her first responses to him as well. She often says things but then doubles down and says things that imply otherwise. Eg the that “ they agreed to be honest but respectful” then basically in her freelee way says that she’s right And everyone else is wrong.🙈
I don't get why Freelee is almost hating on any other type of vegan diet, as if veganism has only one face and only one possible way of living.. but then again, freelee made A LOT of questionable statements during her yt career so what can you ask from her.. that's her level
it is so confusing, isn't it? Like, what is her goal, even? I don't get it. I find Freelee fascinating because her motivations seem so confusing to me.
I watch both Freelee and Swayze's channels. Freelee's channel reminds me to eat more fruit and veg. And Swayze's channel reminds me to take my supplements and eat enough protein. Yay.
I feel like when I did raw till 4 / high carb low fat / mostly raw, a HUGE part of my brain power went to, tweeking what I ate to feel better, making sure to eat enough calories (which took lots of eating), buying and prepping food, making sure I was food combining properly for “Optimal digestion”, making sure I was working out constantly and sleeping a TON! All that hard work and I actually felt 100% with a regular vegan diet that is way cheaper and easier! I could never devote so much time with a child lmao 😂 Freelee doesn’t get that normal people have lives outside of the food they eat.
I'm literally coming to this video from Freelee's channel commenting on some of her beliefs that I disagree with. 🤣 Mainly about makeup being the devil and the fact that you need to base the nutrition of a food off of how much water comes out of it when juiced. 🙄
You have to remember she only demonizes the “beauty” because she failed to get to their level. Since she realized she couldn’t win at social media by being pretty then she just resorted to being “natural”
She's not wrong about the make up however and to some extent on the latter. Make up indirectly harms the skin by clogging up the pores, not to mention the chemicals it contains. The reason i said to an extent on the juice part is because of nutritional density, plants with the highest water content tend to have the highest anti-oxidant, as well as other extremely important nutrient content. I suggest educating yourself a bit more before making silly posts.
It's funny, because in one of her recent videos she talked about actually wearing make-up HERSELF (!!!😱), but that it's okay, because it's fruit-based, lol.
Yes Swayze! Spreading the science! Share your reasonableness with the world! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 When I first chose to go vegan, your channel showed me that it is possible and practical. Thank you for what you do. ❤️
When I ate similar to Freelee (I never did fully raw, but I ate very similar to what she promotes and the amount she promotes) ALL I cared about, and thought about from sunrise to sunset was FOOD, and calories. Tweaking this, tracking that... and everything else was put aside. Not a great way to live in my opinion. Funny how it was also easier to follow her way of eating when I was unemployed for a few months, but the second I got a job again it suddenly became TEN times harder. So goes to show what a privilege it is for Freelee to be able to live the way she does; not everyone can, nor should. Also I have a 7 month old who wakes up a lot through the night so don't you tell me not to have coffee :D
Regarding what she said about partner, this is one of Freelee’s new things she keeps pushing. That needing high protein is a myth and that vegan youtubers are only ‘obsessed’ with protein because their male partners (due to the health and fitness industry) are influencing them due to wanting to be more muscular / built. She insists that fruit provide all the protein that we need and because human breast milk has the least amount of protein it is proof that we do not need the RDA of protein (which she also says is inflated for marketing thanks to the fitness industry). She is even more conspiracy pseudoscience coconuts these days...
She’s the biggest narcissist and complete hypocrite. Nobody can live up to her expectations of what a “vegan” is supposed to be. Even Miles “did it wrong” and he literally followed what she told him to eat in a day. Yea okay...
Especially since it took freelee a decade to get blood work done proving she isn't anemic. How hard-core did she supplement before hand to make sure her numbers were good?
Swayze actually has a history of anemia. Plus she can't get through a day without coffee or caffeine pills. Tiredness is a sign of anemia. It's not a leap to think swayze may have anemia again.
Anyone know how to report ads?? I view a lot of content about veganism and plant-based lifestyles and the ads I've been getting about "blood food teas" and "toxic poop" are genuinely concerning.
Holocaust is specifically about the 6 million Jewish people who died. The word is Jewish, it belongs to that tragedy. The Nazis killed 11 million people in the death camps, all together that is called genocide. The Nazis genocide was 11 million people while the Holocaust was 6 million. You can call animal husbandry animal genocide but not Holocaust because that is a very specific word linked with one subsection of the victims of one specific genocide / mass murder.
Someone should do a docuseries about the amount of people Freelee hurt, or negatively impacted. Just the damage she did in general. Is it just me or would it be sooooo intriguing to see how far her reach actually went?
She also used to talk in old videos about how much bullying she experienced when she was overweight and how she'd kill herself before that happened again. Aka another trauma. That's 3, and there may be more. It's really sad honestly.
@@emilytreads One person also experiencing trauma or pain in their life doesn't them from criticism surrounding their own conflicts. I think we can all agree that clearly something is not right in Freelee's thought process and yeah maybe it comes from something we don't know about. That being said, others are still allowed to tell their stories. No doubt all of this is sad. If it was one or two people it might not be worth pooling information, it's very clear she negatively influenced far more than a few people. It was an entire movement.
@@Emghr the comments that kept disappearing were about her ex, who already has a documentary about him - check out unmasking the narcissist here on UA-cam by norvegan. He traumatized her so much after the breakup she moved off grid in the jungle, a whole other country. He also created the raw til 4 diet. Tbh, I think swayze should have left the whole thing alone. And it's pretty shitty to mock her and make $ in the form of merch off it.
As a person who has been in recovery from drugs (opiates) for 9 years I am so incredibly disgusted at her references to “drug addiction” when talking about coffee consumption. Like she can piss off with all that. Don’t use true human suffering to try and further your bull$hit lies! SMFH...
7:20 100% support for your style of activism (from this random person at least). It doesn't take a psych degree to understand that arguing facts and ideas is way more effective than shaming people
Shes saying its not very vegan to care more about offending people and hurting their feelings than educating them in why they should be vegan. For example talking about it by using murderer for people who aren't vegan, that term offends people
@@KatieMcKnight420 Not all that many that would join the person who insists on insulting them. Particulary not if they have a stable social circle to begin with
I've been trying to figure out what I recognised your background on and just realised a I have the same pattern on my reusable pads and wet bag which have literally been next to my desk the entire time 😅
Wonder if Freelee would love animals so much if it didn’t somehow contribute to the flat stomach she bases almost her entire identity on. She reminds me of Eugenia Cooney.
People can also eat cooked nettle as side dish to avoid iron deficiency...it grows almost everywhere and is great for people who do not like lentils and beans. But oats, tofu and millet are also great foods to get some iron. PS : Freelee may be indelicate in her approaches (especially when it comes to other people diets), but she is often very fucking funny (without even intending it). ''Encapsulated snot rockets`` is my favourite Freelee vocab...I really have to say : I watch Freelee's videos normally just for two reasons : to gaze at the beauty of the jungle or to just have a good laugh.
@@emilytreadsyou said it first 😁, and that’s how you view it. I don’t see it that way lmao. If you feel bad for freelee, get off this channel, Swayze isn’t causing “‘more pain” lol wtf
@@blueicebeat I'm not a follower of freelees diet not swayzes diet. I do wfpb, but occasional mock meats in social situations. But I think it's really fucked up to tear someone up who has documented trauma the way freelee does, and then make $ off it in the form of merch.
i absolutely love you hair in this video, it seems like the perfect style for videos so that you can have it out of the way but still framing your face in such a pretty way :DD (also easier to force one's hair to cooperate haha)
The fact that frelee has had the audacity to not only insult your children but also your (male? Don't want to assume) partner says more about her than you.
@@Aceofwolves but its kind of ridiculous in the context of her being a heterosexual in a heterosexual relationship. Especially when the person is clearly not trans, or if he was trans, then he would appearing as masculine, which by that regard it would be almost insulting to assume he is of any other gender.
So grateful that you still rum your channel! You and vegan gains have always been the most reliable in these topics you argue among other vegans! You not only see what they say, you analyze the person as well-which makes your videos super interesting!!
The thing is even if her diet was healthy, she'd still have to accept that people's bodies are different we all different genes, different ancestral backgrounds, different lifestyles etc. There is no perfect diet that works for everyone literally everyone claiming to have found it are charlatans.
@@li82li I know, right! Where is her, "I can't stop playing xxx", like 'Hades' or 'Animal Crossing' comments? Or something about a shirt she made? Like, I expect something to be there. It was like someone knocked the wind out of me when I saw that (lack of) ending 😂
What really helped me with my knee and joints issue was taking MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) powder every morning. I realized it truly made a difference when I stopped taking it for whatever reason and my joint pain was back. Never stopped taking it since. Of course, have a chat with your doctor or dietician. I just never heard about it before and got it almost by accident. So I want to spread the joy. :)) I take the vegan version.
You’re pale because you live in Portland 🌲🤣🙋🏼♀️ I’m always pale, because I use sunblock and stay out of the sun. Even in summer! My great aunt stayed mostly inside and had this perfect porcelain skin and it impressed me as a young woman. Not everyone is a sun worshiper!

Re.: reheating/microwaving It changes the taste of cow milk if it goes above ~ 65°C, that's why coffeinistas don't recommend reheating it, because there's a higher chance that it will reach that treshold and have an unwanted "cooked" flavor . But vegan milks might just be immune to that taste change 🙂
I like both of you. Everyone has a different style. Every time I start watching a vegan on UA-cam, they’re making reaction videos about each other lol.
Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I kind of wish people would just ignore Freelee at this point. We all know she is toxic and will attack anyone who doesn't 100% align with her. I think it just gives her more ammunition to make more of her typical videos. And the cycle continues.
I try to be plant-based as much as I can but I do sometimes have meat or dairy or eggs occasionally but I figured the less I eat it maybe I'll be more and more plant-based over time. But ty for your channel and being actually real and eat sustainably.
The animals would be better served if we vegans payed attention to human psychology and considered the effects of our words and actions on non vegans. The goal is not to preach to the choir.
Yes and accept that most people won't totally give up meat but may reduce their overall consumption or change from red meat to fish and chicken, etc. ANY LITTLE BIT helps. But people like freelee, ellen fisher, Kristina, etc. Have an all or nothing. Black or white view of the world. Most humans live in a grey world.
@@Aceofwolves I agree that most people think that going vegan is way too hard to do. Suggesting that they take steps is a good way to approach them. And it is important to listen to people. However, replacing red meat with fish and chicken, which is the thing that everyone is doing these days and has been for quite awhile now, causes far more animal deaths and far more suffering! Well intentioned people do this all the time for many reasons. However, when people replace eating large animals with much smaller animals they eat many many more animals. And chickens are the most intensely raised animal of all. Their treatment is horrific. Too gruesome to describe. I suggest that people stop eating chicken. This reduces the number of animal deaths they are causing by about 90% and vastly reduces their suffering footprint. Gardein makes great chicken substitutes. Another thing to suggest which is pretty easy to do is to replace dairy milk with non dairy milk. So many choices these days.
Can't sleep due to respiratory infection, so im listening to your videos while I play video games, and your sudden "the handles get hot as shit!" about coffee mugs made me wheeze laugh 😆
Freelee's approach is unrealistic and mentally unhealthy, especially for young women, whom she targets. She has the 'all or nothing' mentality, and anyone who deviates from her choices is a perfect target for her to make a video to promote her book 😅 thank you for being a breath of fresh air and relatable 💚
I watch a lot of the Vegan youtube video's, but these days it just seems like so many are just picking/beating up on eachother Sad when these days we can get that in so many places But I wish you all can find a place to get along, good luck! P.S. And if you don't like her, then why not just drop her and forget about this :/
How do you even know what seh says? This woman is outdated. She had her time, everything she does now it's just a try of bringing these times back. I didn't see and hear from her till this moment for years. So should you. Just forget about this woman. She shouldn't get any stage any more. You're beautiful, positive, funny and sypathic. All she is missing.
What shes trying to do is copy Fully Raw Kristina is the way she eats because she see how many subs and views FRK is getting... I am not even vegan and I find this entertaining lol you are the only sensible vegan on youtube
Wait, why isn't Freelee wearing those weird gloves...I presumed she was wearing them coz her circulation is so bad from extremely low body fat haha so she's freezing
I can’t eat animal proteins because it makes me sick (Crohn’s disease, and fatty foods are a trigger). People like freelee are why I’m not taken seriously when I order a veggie burger with non-dairy cheese. They are definitely in the wrong, but I have empathy and I can understand why people get angry when they find out someone is vegan. She is so convinced that she is right, and she is perfect, that it disgusts me. I hate when people who lack humility. It’s so off-putting, but I can’t look away from her trainwreak. She really thinks, and tells other people, that her approach is how you get people to listen to you. Some people can be pestered and annoyed into listening to people, but not me. I need to feel like we could be friends. I appreciate direct honesty, but not in a condescending, arrogant way. It’s so easy to not put yourself on a higher level than people. If you think you are better than anyone except maybe a serial killer, dictator, abusive person, or cult leader, you are certainly not better than them.
Shirts! (I had to do it)

That's awesome! I may need to order one!
First I want that shirt. Second I thought in the thumbnail you were sipping tea. I was yelling in my head for you to spill all the tea and make my cup runeth over you silly bitch. For real though I love 99% of your videos.
Once again owning it lol.
Yeah, a thing I like is oatmeal with protein powder and blueberries. Try it out. ;)
Pienso que freelee tiene razón y que tomas mucho café, el café es malo. Mi esposo toma mucho café como tú y es porque las personas se hacen adictas y no pueden concentrase sin café.
“Influenced by your partner”. Oof, how quickly she forgets how “influenced” she was by Durianrider.
Good. Looks like Durianrider was a good influence.

Freelee barely sells anything (a few ebooks), just her lifestyle for FREE! Unlike other "vegan"/non-vegan youtubers promoting protein powders, expensive health retreats, restrictive eating etc. She does none of that

@@ferietbergen7690 you’ve broken the first rule of the internet: don’t feed the trolls.
My back acne went away literally randomly around when I turned 20. Body said “puberty’s over, turn the bacne off”
Yep - for me, mid to late 20s, then most it cleared.
Diet plays a role as well, I ate absolute shite as a teenager.
Same. Thank the Lord coz it was badd
My issue with freelee is she promotes skepticism towards science and nutrition and medical community. Plus why would you make veganism harder than it needs to be!
The two funniest things about it is she constantly harps on about blood tests which are done by Doctors. And she constantly cherrypicks studies which fit her narrative but then is saying all other studies are funded by meat / dairy industry. She is constantly contradicting herself, honestly I watch her just because it’s like watching a case study in grandiose delusions.
Yes me too, I’m sooooo tired of the anti-science, conspiracy, pseudoscience people. The misinformation they spread is terrible.
freelee literally doesnt believe in rdis or rdas hahahaha
You really don't watch her videos do you? She literally quotes physicians who devote their careers to studying nutrition, so how exactly is she skeptical towards science? By no means i support her raw food diet, but you are being very ignorant. Or would you rather listen to the wise words of Swayze the caffeine junkie? The woman who goes against the scientific concensus.
Not skepticism, cynicism. She is not a skeptic on any level or by any definition I would say?
Freelee shoots her message in the foot by constantly criticizing people's looks and by showing off her own body as an argument for Raw Til 4. She claims lofty ideals--anti-cruelty, etc--but she always swings back to bullying people over their appearance and flaunting her figure.
And also packaging all of that under the guise of 'feminism' which she only uses to further criticise other women for having diverse body types, wearing makeup, etc. She thinks she's the ideal specimen of a woman and everyone else should conform to that or they're doing something wrong. You're totally right, her entire message is completely contradicted by all of that.
Freelee never said any of those things unnatural vegan claims she “thinks” ... so unnatural vegan has superpower to read people’s mind? Freelee is not deficient in anything, if you check one of her videos she goes through her blood tests... I think 4 videos on freelee critic on her diet is way too exaggerated ... No way.

Look I’m really nobody to say what’s good and what’s bad but I agree with freelee... it’s so unfair to make audience think freelee has this or that opinion about unnatural vegan. Very objectively, even if I didn’t like freelee I would still agree with what she said... Imagine if someone was making accusing you of thinking bad things ... it doesn’t make much sense. S
@@donatina1987The things Swayze said about Freelee are not accusations, they are true. I followed Freelee for a really long time, only because I believed in her care for the animals. I have watched her say all of these things in her videos. But I had to unfollow her content because she constantly gives her audience lies and dangerous false information about health. Especially to young girls.
I don't dislike Freelee, she just gives out bad, dangerous information and fatshames women and I find that disgusting. She is a hypocrite saying she is a feminist when she is constantly criticising women's bodies.
It’s funny she talks about the influence of males... *side eyes Freelee’s relationship with Durian Rider*
That’s all I could think of hearing her say that
I thought this .. literally the biggest example . Her whole personality is based on what he has told her to be .
Freelee acting like she is liberating young women from beauty standards while she obsesses about being thin and does every video in a crop top.
That’s what I was thinking. I’m like “the pot calling the kettle black” perhaps lol. Like ma’am, didn’t Durian Rider take over your entire life while y’all were together?
@@nicolesapphire3696 I always think this . She says appearance doesn’t matter ok so why are you in a crop top showing off your fake boobs and stomach In every video and saying everyone should look like you ?
If she just admitted she cared about her appearance I wouldn’t care but it’s the fact she says she doesn’t . She said she didn’t wear makeup but now she is making her own from beetroot berries and coconut oil .. that’s still makeup lol
I also find it interesting that Freelee will watch videos of influencers with acne and say that it is evidence of their poor diet but does not use clear skin as evidence of a good diet. Like you have very clear skin, why is that not evidence of a good diet?
Also how she doesn’t address how she has aged like milk, got a boob job and did the whole filler/botox. I guess fully raw didn’t help her 😂
Exactly, cherry picking at its finest 🙄
Exactly .. She would never bring that up .
@@AnDr3w066 iiiiiinteresting. Agrees, I don't think silicone balloons being implanted seems very natural lol
because she thinks clear skin is the default or something? lol, some people will have acne no matter what they eat
Its so ironic that the woman with breast implants and botox tries to shame you for drinking coffee because its "toxic"
Lol so true, botulinum toxin is one of the most toxic substances on the planet
Exactly
Thank you so much for pointing this out!! Fact!
And I'm pretty sure she still gets injections now! Her face does not have natural expression lines she's supposed to have 🤔
@Richard Hoffman she made a video saying that she regrets them but doesn’t want to have another surgery to remove them unless it’s an emergency. She still has the implants.
Her going after your partner and kids really tells you all you need to know about her. What a miserable woman
How about you actually listen to what Freelee has said in her videos? Freelee doesn't go for anyone, Swayze's diet is horrendous, literally lives off caffeine and is being extremely disingenuous towards others. Sure, listen to these types of people, or educate yourself for once.
@@Kristers_K I'm not talking about whose diet is better. I'm talking about the fact that Freelee hits below the belt and needlessly uses ad hominem attacks. I'm talking about the fact that Freelee seems to have this incessant need to take others down, to the point where she calls caffeine users drug addicts.
I love her speeches on makeup and hair removal though. Good stuff. But this catty attitude of hers about diet is really nasty.
@@Kristers_K that's a laugh, I truly can't imagine how you filter her content to get that impression. Every time I start watching a Freelee video that responds to another person I end up turning it off out of disgust because she goes for EVERYONE in such unnecessarily personal and/or condescending ways.
Does Freelee have a partner and kids?
@@ksmspeace You mean people who needlessly munch on animal carcasses and follow ridiculous fad diets? She is calling out such people and people who eat junk we are not meant to eat, nothing she does is ''personal'', it's all about what is scientific.
Do you even understand what her message is, what veganism stands for? Or do you need it repeated in your ears a million times? It's not a diet, you don't take babysteps or improvise.
You can get injured in an accident and Freelee will find some way to blame it on not eating enough fruit.
Bahahahaha true!
this really made me giggle
@@lag1851 you can be vegan and still find freelee’s dictatorship over what we eat to be insane.
Yep I can literally get shot while eating an apple or pear and freelee would say I should have had more fruit in my mouth. Like what....
Made my day on the way to work. Thx!
A friend of mine formed a friendship with Freelee and was following her diet back before she added cooked food. Her periods became out of control and she was pouring blood every month, couldn’t leave the house because she would bleed through pads and clothing so much so she would have to stay home and sit on bathroom towels to soak up leakage. Sorry for the tmi. Freelee just kept telling her it was a good thing that it was her body releasing toxins. This went on for months and months. Ultimately friend made some dietary changes because she was so ill and anemic. Freelee was giving terrible and likely dangerous advice.
Oh, I'm so sorry for your friend 😬 I ended up in the hospital after just one time with something like that. It suck so bad
I hate the detoxing narrative that is pushed by so many vegans!! If you start getting bad symptoms it's your body telling you the changes are not good, not that it's detoxing lol
@HI HEY HELLO not many people know this but a very important factor in humans becoming humans (developing our brains to the complex stage of today) was cooking their food. Fully raw is unnatural for us, ofc some fruit and veggies are more nutritious when served raw but our metabolism requires cooked food and the release of complex carbohydrates that comes from exposing the food to a heat source. Not a chemist so i might fk up some english terms but that’s the jist of it: we are omnivores and can’t digest or process some foods that aren’t cooked. Fully Raw Kristina is crazy and others like her are plain dangerous with their advice, freele included
@@danedee6563 actually no. My friend ended the friendship due to a number of reasons. She’s a smart friend.
She's not even a doctor or anything... she doesn't even have any degree in nutrition, she just makes stuff up and tries to convince everyone it's the Holly truth... what a crazy woman
I remember watching Freelee when I was like 14, horrible role model for anyone to have. Thank you for always sharing accurate and safe content!
She kick stared my eating disorder when I was 14, still dealing with it now at 21 lol thanks for that freelee
@@hbk2377 same here
I just will never understand raw. Cooking stuff doesn't ruin food. For example, leafy greens can provide you different nutrients raw and cooked, so eat both.
Wouldn’t say different. Just different amounts. Much less water and fiber quality for cooked foods though
@@hirawnick But easier to digest for some people after cooking. Breaking down the cellulose wall can help certain people eat fibrous foods when they otherwise would suffer. If the choice is between not eating the food, and eating it cooked, there's a clear correct choice there.
@@samiam2088 true, don’t know that it’s easier digestion but better cooked plants than no plants 👍🏻🌱
@@hirawnick raw kale or cabbage are not my friends…….
Yep ironically red meat can be eaten undercooked (usually medium and above is considered safe) but most raw or undercooked veggies can be deemed dangerous things like kale or cabbage can't be digested as well unless cooked.
“She’s in the jungle picking fruits all day”, Jane Goodal would find freelee very interesting.
I would PAY to watch a 90 year old Jane Goodall docunentary about watching what Freelee is doing out there. That would be hilarious!
Lol, I’m ded. 💀
@@princesseville6889 id honestly love to see a freelee documentary
So FreeLee is not just THE definitive expert on diet, nutrition, health, disease, she’s also a relationship expert now. Based on how much fruit someone does or doesn’t eat. Gotcha, gotcha. Cool cool cool cool cool.
She never claimed to be an expert, but Dr Greger, who she cites, is an expert. Perhaps pay more attention?
Lol you remind me of my sister with the gotcha gotcha cool cool co. Lol love it
Yeah, PhD an all that jazz.
@@Kristers_K oh yes Dr Gregor who says there's no such thing as protein deficiency 🤣
@@Kristers_K Citing one doctor isn't enough. You can find scientists who deny climate change, doctors who claim that autism can be "cured" with bleach, all sorts. She needs to cite studies, preferably meta-analyses, with high population sizes and good methodologies.
As a lab technician student I love that new merch XD Basically we are all walking chemical experiments, including Freelee. Life is based around chemical reactions in our bodies and our enviroment.
I actually saw Freelee once, here in Los Angeles, at VegFest. It was several years ago. I've never really watched her channel much, but I knew who she was, and she was a BIG DEAL speaker at the event. I was kind of amazed as I watched her arrive. She was with Durianrider (sp?) at the time, and they were walking across the park (VegFest is typically held at a large park in Van Nuys) and watching the gaggle of *dozens* of people, mostly very young women, follow her as she arrived was truly fascinating. She finally stopped under a tree, I guess for a meet & greet and photo ops, and I stood back to observe. She seemed genuinely gentle and caring, very warm and friendly to her *insanely adoring* fans. The boyfriend seemed surly and intense. I don't think she had any kind of entourage, I think it was literally just her and her boyfriend, but even just 6 or so years ago (when this happened) VegFest and even veganism still wasn't as organized as it is now. But as far as not being the same on camera as in person, watching her was interesting, I didn't feel the need to meet her, but observing her definitely stuck with me. She was of course quite small, delicate features, big eyes, and the body language between her and her boyfriend was a little uncomfortable to watch. But she hugged many fans, and seemed genuinely sweet and caring toward them. I'm not particularly a fan, but remembering this day has kept me from being a hater.
This is kind of how miles from healthy crazy cool talks about her too-that she’s a genuine sweetheart despite her attitude/Appearance on UA-cam. Look, I believe that freelee genuinely cares about the animals, albeit her approach may push people away from veganism more than it invites them in, but I always have a soft spot for her.
Just a though...why wouldn’t she be ‘sweet’ to her fans? Her online income relies on these people continuing to support her. Her UA-cam channel was going off and her income was rising, the rewards she was getting were many. Many others in the past have had awful experiences with her, including the girls who gained tonnes of weight on her diet advice. When they asked her why (this is before she came up with the ‘metabolic damage’ excuse) she told them it was their fault and blocked them! Not sweet, not caring.
Perhaps if she was observed in a less favourable circumstance with people questioning her about her awful online persona, she may not appear so ‘sweet’.
@@sashamiranda9336 No saying she isn't misguided, and this once again points to the difference of online vs in person interactions. It's worth mentioning however, that having lived and worked my entire life in LA, I've seen many, many public figures who rely on their popularity for their incomes, be indifferent, standoffish and outright nasty or callous to their fans.
@@jennifers2555 Leanne operates with a facade as all narcissistic people do. If something doesn’t ‘look good’ the they will try to refrain from those behaviours, especially in public when it may expose the parts of themselves they don’t wish to expose. We have all met some ‘terribly nice’ people, only to learn that it’s all a bit of a show, and are exploitative in either their personal relationships or professional ones. They just aren’t as easy to spot right away.
When fans or adulation are involved, then these people are supplying fuel for her ‘false self’. She will be whatever she needs to be to keep that.
I think Leanne has some empathic traits so may be a mid range type of narcissist. Some narcissistic types feel more emboldened behind closed doors or by creating a persona online. I don’t think Leanne would feel so emboldened in person to say half the things she says online. She isn’t that brave.
She is a kind person
I love how you can watch Freelee's video and maturely react to it and respond to it in a more appropriate and reasonable way. Freelee's first reaction is calling what you say trashing. I mean is that not a reflection of herself? That says enough about her lack of being able to take feedback. You give a really great example on how to approach veganism on a more respectful and reasonable level. I totally resonate with this. Respect to you for calling people out on their mistakes in a constructive and positive way :) On another note I even stopped calling myself vegan recently now after 5 years because of allot of unnecessary drama in the community, there is constantly somebody criticising who is or isnt 'really' vegan or vegan enough. Now I call myself 100% plantbased. I really cant stand being associated with a community that has people with an unhealthy habit of shitting on anything or anyone that cant live up to 'personal opinions' of their perfect vegan standards when there are those of us vegans that are living our life pouring our hearts into this cruelty free lifestyle in the most sensible way we can. But it still not being enough. The toxicity in the vegan community is a very real problem in my opinion.
Yes!! Freelee is in her 40's trying to target young women for her audience. It seems she wants neither her body nor her mentality to age. 🤣
You are definitely not ugly lol.
I should write this on my mirror!
Not at all! She has beautiful features
Neither Swayze nor Freelee are ugly, but the way Freelee treats other people is pretty ugly sometimes.
Love the stuff you mention about showing the less than perfect days too! Vlog-type people doing that is great
This gets me, I watch so much youtube and everyone seems so happy and has no personal variation, and if they do it's all retrospective like "oh yeah, that was a tough time for me, but now I'm stronger for it".
I wanna know that everyone is ACTIVELY falling apart as much as I am :P
I swear she is the most stubborn woman I have ever seen in my entire life. Just as close-minded and adverse to change, learning, and growth as anyone I've ever come in contact with. And, yes, I went on her horrible diet when I was 17, went through a lot of problems, and felt horrible the entire time about how I wasn't able to will myself to be consistent.
The fact that a lot of people are thriving on her ''horrible'' diet, says a lot about what you did wrong. Look back and analyze your eating habits instead of blaming a diet.
@Winston McCurley
Agreed. I lasted a few months before adding cooked vegan food back in. I just remember thinking about eating all the time and never fully being satisfied. 🤷♀️ I have been a very happy regular vegan ever since tho. 🙂
@@Kristers_K how about you stop acting like you have knowledge about diet, clearly you don’t. Also how pathetic to critique what someone did when they were 17, you know a child, you really have no tact or empathy, not surprising and quite common for the Freelee cult members. Freelees diet is 100% to low in fat for a young woman.
Winston, I feel so sad that you went through that. Early in my vegan journey I used to feel bad that I could not afford to be a raw food, organic health food only vegan, and I was full grown adult. I’m now so glad I could not afford to be one of those supposed “real” vegans. Anytime I see new vegans and especially young vegans looking for advice I get so worried, because as much as I’m shouting “please read a book from a dietician” I know there’s still a bunch of other saying follow the medical medium, go raw, do a cleanse, detox, restrictive unbalanced, low protein, pseudoscience orthorexic diets, etc, etc. I’m glad when see others give realistic and balanced advice, I think this is what I appreciate about this channel.
@@Kristers_K a lot of people are obese, i guess they're good if we follow your impeccable logic.

I always enjoy how polite you are about freelee. I'm not that good of a person, i'd GO OFF shes so rude
I remember getting roped into freelees stuff at 11-12. At the time I was too young to know any better and I genuinely thought her rt4 diet was the epitome of health
You have to love freele, giving all that free drama

Yes🙌
I think you're the healthiest looking you've ever been and have found a great balance of eating healthy and NORMAL on a vegan diet which will always attract those who are jealous or upset that you're not benefiting their narrative. It iz what it izzz 🤷🏻♀️
I remembered distinctly commenting on a video of freelea giving my testimony (i was pretty tamed) on how I ended up in the hospital after a month of raw till four (i was supper anemic lol) it gained some traction and she promptly deleted it lol
I'm glad you're ok!
@@therabbithat thanks! Yeah it really put my nutrition into perspective lol
I watch and enjoy you both and am by no means a fruit based vegan (tho I do love it and eat a shit ton!) BUT I have to say that Freelee is absolutely the reason I went vegan and was able to stick with it. Her message and approach is sometimes harsh and extreme but she’s passionate and above all cares about the welfare of animals first and foremost. She’s inspiring. I have 2 of her books and make recipes from them all the time as well as my own cooked meals and vegan junk if I want! I relate to you both and enjoy the middle ground. 8 years vegan and counting which I really do think is the most important thing to Freelee. Anyways luv u.
This is me too. I watch and enjoy both channels. And seeing them do crossover videos on each other is a treat for me. 😊

You are absolutely stunning, and so unique.. i've always found you to be exceptionally beautiful, and actually seem to keep getting prettier somehow lol
(taking the opportunity to say this as it fits with the context of the video)
I agree
Even „healthy cray cool vegan“ said that he could imagine her diet being difficult for some people to get their macros, who didn’t eat as much as him and even the amount he eat, he was still deficient.
P.s he even mentions you quickly at the end ;).
(It’s the Video where he lets freelee control his eating for a day)
On a different note, I really appreciate your videos.
I’m not completely vegan yet but I have cut out meat and most milk products by now as well as reducing my egg consumption. Im not there yet but I’m getting there and it’s because of you :) 🌸🌳.
Interestingly she took down her part 2 response to Miles diet analysis of the days food when Vegan deterioration responded to it finding a number of inconsistencies in her response such as logging the food herself in chronometer and putting in 30 instead of 20 dates and denying that conditions arise from protein deficiency
That’s very interesting and yet at the same time, not at all surprising .There where in consistencies in her first responses to him as well. She often says things but then doubles down and says things that imply otherwise. Eg the that “ they agreed to be honest but respectful” then basically in her freelee way says that she’s right And everyone else is wrong.🙈
I don't get why Freelee is almost hating on any other type of vegan diet, as if veganism has only one face and only one possible way of living.. but then again, freelee made A LOT of questionable statements during her yt career so what can you ask from her.. that's her level
it is so confusing, isn't it? Like, what is her goal, even? I don't get it. I find Freelee fascinating because her motivations seem so confusing to me.

May is my three year vegan anniversary 🥰🥰
Wow! Congrats ☺️
I watch both Freelee and Swayze's channels.
Freelee's channel reminds me to eat more fruit and veg. And Swayze's channel reminds me to take my supplements and eat enough protein. Yay.
Hahahaha same. it’s a balanced UA-cam diet imo
I'm not vegan at all and I do this too to some extent 😂
I feel like when I did raw till 4 / high carb low fat / mostly raw, a HUGE part of my brain power went to, tweeking what I ate to feel better, making sure to eat enough calories (which took lots of eating), buying and prepping food, making sure I was food combining properly for “Optimal digestion”, making sure I was working out constantly and sleeping a TON! All that hard work and I actually felt 100% with a regular vegan diet that is way cheaper and easier! I could never devote so much time with a child lmao 😂 Freelee doesn’t get that normal people have lives outside of the food they eat.
I'm literally coming to this video from Freelee's channel commenting on some of her beliefs that I disagree with. 🤣 Mainly about makeup being the devil and the fact that you need to base the nutrition of a food off of how much water comes out of it when juiced. 🙄
You'll be deleted and blocked LOL 😂🤦🏽♀️ She can give it out but can't take it 🤔😂
You have to remember she only demonizes the “beauty” because she failed to get to their level. Since she realized she couldn’t win at social media by being pretty then she just resorted to being “natural”
She's not wrong about the make up however and to some extent on the latter. Make up indirectly harms the skin by clogging up the pores, not to mention the chemicals it contains. The reason i said to an extent on the juice part is because of nutritional density, plants with the highest water content tend to have the highest anti-oxidant, as well as other extremely important nutrient content. I suggest educating yourself a bit more before making silly posts.
@@Kristers_K yeah but the partially is overblown and hypocritical.
It's funny, because in one of her recent videos she talked about actually wearing make-up HERSELF (!!!😱), but that it's okay, because it's fruit-based, lol.
Yes Swayze! Spreading the science! Share your reasonableness with the world! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 When I first chose to go vegan, your channel showed me that it is possible and practical. Thank you for what you do. ❤️
When I ate similar to Freelee (I never did fully raw, but I ate very similar to what she promotes and the amount she promotes) ALL I cared about, and thought about from sunrise to sunset was FOOD, and calories. Tweaking this, tracking that... and everything else was put aside. Not a great way to live in my opinion. Funny how it was also easier to follow her way of eating when I was unemployed for a few months, but the second I got a job again it suddenly became TEN times harder. So goes to show what a privilege it is for Freelee to be able to live the way she does; not everyone can, nor should. Also I have a 7 month old who wakes up a lot through the night so don't you tell me not to have coffee :D
Exactly. I’m vegan and have been for over 10 years but there is 0 way I could have ate like Freelee when I was working 50 hours a week in an office.
Regarding what she said about partner, this is one of Freelee’s new things she keeps pushing. That needing high protein is a myth and that vegan youtubers are only ‘obsessed’ with protein because their male partners (due to the health and fitness industry) are influencing them due to wanting to be more muscular / built. She insists that fruit provide all the protein that we need and because human breast milk has the least amount of protein it is proof that we do not need the RDA of protein (which she also says is inflated for marketing thanks to the fitness industry). She is even more conspiracy pseudoscience coconuts these days...
Its not like she herself was in a relationship with durianrider
I didn't pay attention to my protein intake and my body started using up muscle for energy 🙃 so yes, protein is very very important
She’s the biggest narcissist and complete hypocrite. Nobody can live up to her expectations of what a “vegan” is supposed to be. Even Miles “did it wrong” and he literally followed what she told him to eat in a day. Yea okay...

Freelee also eats avocados now AND nuts and seeds. I thought that was pretty cool.
"Oh my gracious" I love it when your southern comes out haha
I have had a crush on you Swayze. Your not ugly. Enjoy the ‘cofefve’
If that mug is made in China, it actually probably is a Walking Chemical Experiment.
I always love your level headed responses to haters lmao...everyone should learn from you how to take hate lol
Microwaved coffe? Every mom knows the struggle hahaha you can either warm it up again or you throw in some ice cubes and enjoy your ice coffe 😂
Also, don’t most of us feel better when we’re 10-15 years younger than we do now? Especially before babies?
Anyone know how to report ads?? I view a lot of content about veganism and plant-based lifestyles and the ads I've been getting about "blood food teas" and "toxic poop" are genuinely concerning.
Oh my gaw what
Holocaust is specifically about the 6 million Jewish people who died. The word is Jewish, it belongs to that tragedy. The Nazis killed 11 million people in the death camps, all together that is called genocide. The Nazis genocide was 11 million people while the Holocaust was 6 million. You can call animal husbandry animal genocide but not Holocaust because that is a very specific word linked with one subsection of the victims of one specific genocide / mass murder.
Finally, youtuber merch I would buy. Mayhaps when I start working again.
IM SO GLAD YOU RESPONDED TO THIS TOO AND THESE FUCKING SHIRTS OMGGGGGG
Considering there a still Holocaust survivors like my mother ALIVE .... using that word is a slap in the face.
Someone should do a docuseries about the amount of people Freelee hurt, or negatively impacted. Just the damage she did in general. Is it just me or would it be sooooo intriguing to see how far her reach actually went?
She also used to talk in old videos about how much bullying she experienced when she was overweight and how she'd kill herself before that happened again. Aka another trauma. That's 3, and there may be more.
It's really sad honestly.
Why are all my comments disappearing? I've made three, they keep disappearing.
I would be more interested in all the people that have hurt freelee.
4 comments, they keep disappearing. Things ain't right 🤔🧐
@@emilytreads One person also experiencing trauma or pain in their life doesn't them from criticism surrounding their own conflicts. I think we can all agree that clearly something is not right in Freelee's thought process and yeah maybe it comes from something we don't know about. That being said, others are still allowed to tell their stories. No doubt all of this is sad. If it was one or two people it might not be worth pooling information, it's very clear she negatively influenced far more than a few people. It was an entire movement.
@@Emghr the comments that kept disappearing were about her ex, who already has a documentary about him - check out unmasking the narcissist here on UA-cam by norvegan. He traumatized her so much after the breakup she moved off grid in the jungle, a whole other country. He also created the raw til 4 diet.
Tbh, I think swayze should have left the whole thing alone. And it's pretty shitty to mock her and make $ in the form of merch off it.
As a person who has been in recovery from drugs (opiates) for 9 years I am so incredibly disgusted at her references to “drug addiction” when talking about coffee consumption. Like she can piss off with all that. Don’t use true human suffering to try and further your bull$hit lies! SMFH...
7:20 100% support for your style of activism (from this random person at least). It doesn't take a psych degree to understand that arguing facts and ideas is way more effective than shaming people
The irony of making a coffee mug out of freelee’s hate 😂😂😂
The poetry of it all
YOU DID THE MERCH
ABSOLUTE MAD LAD
I can't believe that Freelee just said that you can't be a vegan if you care about other people. I feel like I don't need to explain why that's wrong
Like how does that even make any sense???
Shes saying its not very vegan to care more about offending people and hurting their feelings than educating them in why they should be vegan. For example talking about it by using murderer for people who aren't vegan, that term offends people
@@KatieMcKnight420 Not all that many that would join the person who insists on insulting them. Particulary not if they have a stable social circle to begin with
I've been trying to figure out what I recognised your background on and just realised a I have the same pattern on my reusable pads and wet bag which have literally been next to my desk the entire time 😅
Wonder if Freelee would love animals so much if it didn’t somehow contribute to the flat stomach she bases almost her entire identity on. She reminds me of Eugenia Cooney.
People can also eat cooked nettle as side dish to avoid iron deficiency...it grows almost everywhere and is great for people who do not like lentils and beans. But oats, tofu and millet are also great foods to get some iron.
PS : Freelee may be indelicate in her approaches (especially when it comes to other people diets), but she is often very fucking funny (without even intending it). ''Encapsulated snot rockets`` is my favourite Freelee vocab...I really have to say : I watch Freelee's videos normally just for two reasons : to gaze at the beauty of the jungle or to just have a good laugh.
More freelee drama please, it’s the best!
Yes, because we don't care about the pain being caused on the other side to an already traumatized person do we?
This comment section is brutal.
@@emilytreads Nope!
@@blueicebeat would you say all this shit to her face?
@@emilytreadsyou said it first 😁, and that’s how you view it. I don’t see it that way lmao. If you feel bad for freelee, get off this channel, Swayze isn’t causing “‘more pain” lol wtf
@@blueicebeat I'm not a follower of freelees diet not swayzes diet. I do wfpb, but occasional mock meats in social situations. But I think it's really fucked up to tear someone up who has documented trauma the way freelee does, and then make $ off it in the form of merch.
i absolutely love you hair in this video, it seems like the perfect style for videos so that you can have it out of the way but still framing your face in such a pretty way :DD (also easier to force one's hair to cooperate haha)
The fact that frelee has had the audacity to not only insult your children but also your (male? Don't want to assume) partner says more about her than you.
You could delete that bit in parenthesis. It is irrelevant to your point.
He's either male or a very tall female with a flat chest. She's got a video where she shows him from the neck down (how I met my vegan soulmate)
@@emilytreads as a trans man I don't like to assume anyone's gender due to my own negative experience so I like to be neutral in that aspect.
@@Aceofwolves but its kind of ridiculous in the context of her being a heterosexual in a heterosexual relationship. Especially when the person is clearly not trans, or if he was trans, then he would appearing as masculine, which by that regard it would be almost insulting to assume he is of any other gender.
@@MomoKunDaYo what do you mean by "clearly"
So grateful that you still rum your channel! You and vegan gains have always been the most reliable in these topics you argue among other vegans! You not only see what they say, you analyze the person as well-which makes your videos super interesting!!
The thing is even if her diet was healthy, she'd still have to accept that people's bodies are different we all different genes, different ancestral backgrounds, different lifestyles etc. There is no perfect diet that works for everyone literally everyone claiming to have found it are charlatans.
I love your channel ! You’re so real, cold-minded and honest !
And you look great just btw!
That's one abrupt ending 😱
i feel very offended :D
@@li82li I know, right! Where is her, "I can't stop playing xxx", like 'Hades' or 'Animal Crossing' comments? Or something about a shirt she made? Like, I expect something to be there. It was like someone knocked the wind out of me when I saw that (lack of) ending 😂
@@kimandreasheroy i feel like a child whos ice cream was stolen by a seagull: a little bit shocked and about to start crying lol
@@li82li Haha, you described my feelings as well 😂
What really helped me with my knee and joints issue was taking MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) powder every morning. I realized it truly made a difference when I stopped taking it for whatever reason and my joint pain was back. Never stopped taking it since. Of course, have a chat with your doctor or dietician. I just never heard about it before and got it almost by accident. So I want to spread the joy. :)) I take the vegan version.
that feeling when you pick your radishes too early out of paranoia of the squirrels and their only like an inch across
This video taught me how to handle criticism calmly.
You’re pale because you live in Portland 🌲🤣🙋🏼♀️ I’m always pale, because I use sunblock and stay out of the sun. Even in summer! My great aunt stayed mostly inside and had this perfect porcelain skin and it impressed me as a young woman. Not everyone is a sun worshiper!
@@sherbetlemons well, I don't. I'm a little lighter than mac nw10, I don't tan at all and I'm definitely not aneimic. Helps that I live in Westeurope though
I'm pale and I live in Florida. I just put on an assload of sunscreen and avidly avoid the sun. I do it to prevent premature aging and skin cancer.
Re.: reheating/microwaving
It changes the taste of cow milk if it goes above ~ 65°C, that's why coffeinistas don't recommend reheating it, because there's a higher chance that it will reach that treshold and have an unwanted "cooked" flavor . But vegan milks might just be immune to that taste change 🙂
You can do pilates, Barre or dance cardio if you're having knee pain.
I don't recommend Barre if you've got knee pain.
@@EmeraldHW I mean those knee friendly ones
I like both of you. Everyone has a different style. Every time I start watching a vegan on UA-cam, they’re making reaction videos about each other lol.
Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I kind of wish people would just ignore Freelee at this point. We all know she is toxic and will attack anyone who doesn't 100% align with her. I think it just gives her more ammunition to make more of her typical videos. And the cycle continues.
I try to be plant-based as much as I can but I do sometimes have meat or dairy or eggs occasionally but I figured the less I eat it maybe I'll be more and more plant-based over time. But ty for your channel and being actually real and eat sustainably.
The animals would be better served if we vegans payed attention to human psychology and considered the effects of our words and actions on non vegans. The goal is not to preach to the choir.
Yes and accept that most people won't totally give up meat but may reduce their overall consumption or change from red meat to fish and chicken, etc.
ANY LITTLE BIT helps. But people like freelee, ellen fisher, Kristina, etc. Have an all or nothing. Black or white view of the world. Most humans live in a grey world.
@@Aceofwolves I agree that most people think that going vegan is way too hard to do. Suggesting that they take steps is a good way to approach them. And it is important to listen to people. However, replacing red meat with fish and chicken, which is the thing that everyone is doing these days and has been for quite awhile now, causes far more animal deaths and far more suffering!
Well intentioned people do this all the time for many reasons. However, when people replace eating large animals with much smaller animals they eat many many more animals. And chickens are the most intensely raised animal of all. Their treatment is horrific. Too gruesome to describe.
I suggest that people stop eating chicken. This reduces the number of animal deaths they are causing by about 90% and vastly reduces their suffering footprint. Gardein makes great chicken substitutes.
Another thing to suggest which is pretty easy to do is to replace dairy milk with non dairy milk. So many choices these days.
I just KNOW Freelee isn't talking talking about being "badly influenced by a male." I just KNOW.....
Cue Freelee saying you’ve made hundred of dollars on her quote on your merch.
Can't sleep due to respiratory infection, so im listening to your videos while I play video games, and your sudden "the handles get hot as shit!" about coffee mugs made me wheeze laugh 😆
Freelee's approach is unrealistic and mentally unhealthy, especially for young women, whom she targets. She has the 'all or nothing' mentality, and anyone who deviates from her choices is a perfect target for her to make a video to promote her book 😅 thank you for being a breath of fresh air and relatable 💚
I watch a lot of the Vegan youtube video's, but these days it just seems like so many are just picking/beating up on eachother Sad when these days we can get that in so many places But I wish you all can find a place to get along, good luck! P.S. And if you don't like her, then why not just drop her and forget about this :/
How do you even know what seh says? This woman is outdated. She had her time, everything she does now it's just a try of bringing these times back. I didn't see and hear from her till this moment for years. So should you. Just forget about this woman. She shouldn't get any stage any more. You're beautiful, positive, funny and sypathic. All she is missing.
Was going through a box of old things while listening to this and came across my copy of Eat to Live seconds before you mentioned it...weird.
Freelee lives in an echo chamber of her own beliefs.
I think thats actually factually accurate
What shes trying to do is copy Fully Raw Kristina is the way she eats because she see how many subs and views FRK is getting... I am not even vegan and I find this entertaining lol you are the only sensible vegan on youtube
Even with the way she has her hair arranged and the shirts she’s wearing.
Wait, why isn't Freelee wearing those weird gloves...I presumed she was wearing them coz her circulation is so bad from extremely low body fat haha so she's freezing
I can’t eat animal proteins because it makes me sick (Crohn’s disease, and fatty foods are a trigger). People like freelee are why I’m not taken seriously when I order a veggie burger with non-dairy cheese. They are definitely in the wrong, but I have empathy and I can understand why people get angry when they find out someone is vegan. She is so convinced that she is right, and she is perfect, that it disgusts me. I hate when people who lack humility. It’s so off-putting, but I can’t look away from her trainwreak. She really thinks, and tells other people, that her approach is how you get people to listen to you. Some people can be pestered and annoyed into listening to people, but not me. I need to feel like we could be friends. I appreciate direct honesty, but not in a condescending, arrogant way. It’s so easy to not put yourself on a higher level than people. If you think you are better than anyone except maybe a serial killer, dictator, abusive person, or cult leader, you are certainly not better than them.
Freelee, queen of giving advice that literally nobody asked for.
