I went vegan on November 1, 2022, so it's only been five weeks. But I am AMAZED. My terrible arthritis is nearly gone as all the inflammation has left my body. I feel better at 52 than I ever have. I'm hooked!
Oh my God!
I started November 1st also..🥰
@@blackstardispatch9335 Great minds think alike! I'm looking forward to 2023 and seeing how eating so many plants continues to improve my health. ❤️
Vegan is america's hidden secrets
What's your daily intake of food look like?? Newbie here
do you avoid dairy aswell?
Going plant base has made a major difference in my life. Diagnosed with an auto immune disease and told I had a terminal illness in which I had 7years to live. I continued to eat meat until in 2017, when the doctors said I had 3 years left of life, with less than 20% lung capacity. I was told my only hope in life was a double lung transplant in 2017. In 2018, I became a vegan, losing 55 lbs, lots of energy, no hospitalization since then, no prednisone,, and no harsh drugs. I use oxygen when exercising because I have little left of my lungs but I'm thanking God to be able to walk 6 to 7 miles a day, lots of drunk and energy and because my health has greatly improved, they have been able to hold off on the double lung transplant. Yes the vegan diet combined with the Holy Spirit will give you Optimal Health. I feel great, and doctors are still questioning how I am able to do so much with little lungs left. I just tell them, it's the spirit of God in me.
I agree sister and on my journey as well .. may JESUS YAHAWASHI bless you and keep you.
@@isaacisrael4593 Amen Isaac. Let's do this!
Wow, thank you Lord for this amazing turn around.
In Jesus Name! God is so good! We praise Him and continue to believe for your full healing and complete recovery in Jesus's Name! The Holy Spirit is always on point! Be blessed and have a wonderful Christmas! Keep up the great work! Your message is inspiring! What the enemy tried to use to defeat you, God has turned around and used for His glory! Just you posting this has probably affected so many people in a positive way and made them look to God for the answers! When we focus on what He has made, it really makes a difference!
@@megante38 AMEN🕊❤️
I'm currently 395 lbs. I've made the decision to go plant based after the dr said I was a borderline diabetic. I was like nope. My goal is to be 195 lbs ripped again. I gained weight after breaking my back and going through a horrible divorce. Time to make a change
Awesome, my name is Jeff let me know if you have any questions. Wfpb@veganlinked.com
@@VeganLinked thanks I have plenty of questions
You can do it 💪 I went whole food plant based in 2020 and and am down 119lbs. I'm finding it easier to maintain than any other way of eating and I have tried everything.
@@slc3521 that's awesome
I have lost 128 pounds since May 2020 and am now UK size 6 down from a uk size 22. I'm plant exclusive cos I have so many food intolerances. Still losing 2 pounds a week and because I have so much energy I've avoided loose skin by walking 10 miles a day
I’ve been vegan 1 week and I literally feel soooo much lighter. The energy I have while cleaning my home is something I can’t ever say I’ve felt.
Omg same. I am also at the beginning at my vegan-journey, but even yet I feel good
I started being a raw vegan this month March and I pray I never look back
No wonder doctors don’t recommend a vegan diet. They want more and more money! GO VEGAN PEOPLE👏🏻👍🏻🌿
or vegan deterioration thatn only see unhealthy rare vegan and ignore the astronomical unhealthy side of nonvegan
The medical establishment is corrupt and parasitic. The higher you go up the more this is true, like big pharma.
@@XeL__ , You should rewrite this. What are your saying?
i went vegan and my health declined the moment i went back to eating egg and fish i reclaimed my health
No it's down to the politicians and givernment regulations. Doctors can't go against that. The politicians are mostly men high on their own power, they want their meat and beer.
Veganism was the best decision that i made. Became pescatarian in 2000 and went fully vegan in 2004. I'm a couple years from my half-century...and i feel great!
It is the second time I hear someone talking about the "lightness" you feel when going vegan. I thought it was only me that felt like that. Good to know others have experienced it as well.
I thought it was “hippy dippy” when I tried to explain it to others about the lightness that came over me once I gave up the meat and dairy.
It’s really hard to explain to others, but I’m glad I’m hearing others saying the same.
Yea, It's only been 2 weeks for me and I'm feeling the same thing. I'm loving it.
I have it too. So much energy and so easy to move
It's almost like a feeling of having a lighter spirit. I feel very free in my thoughts. No more cloudiness and deep depressive thoughts. Just lightness and happiness. I feel amazing.
No more inflammation.
It's nearly a month since I've switched to vegan and I noticed within the first week my sleep patterns were better. I had SO much more energy throughout the day...no more "sleepy" periods after lunch or between that 2pm-4pm timeframe when I used to want to "snack" on chips or cookies or ice cream or all three. So glad I am one because I'm EXCITED about trying out different recipes to help make vegan dishes from former dishes I used to eat (that were processed mainly). Example: mac & cheese...who knew I could figure out a vegan cheese sauce can be made from a potato / carrot base, or cashew nuts or even tofu? and nutritional yeast? wow...learned so much more about better nutrition for my body being a vegan...and just my body "feeling" like it had a makeover (without going into surgery)...its happy now and performs for me when I need it (I work out 2x/day now vs. 1x/day...and I'm now doing yard work like pulling weeds of blackberry bushes which I would never attempt to do because I hate being outside and doing yardwork - but its movement and physical activity and my body has all this extra "energy" that needs an output - and my yard is looking good slowly but surely. I'm toning and strengthening my body with core workouts now..I walk faster..my clothes are getting loose, the pounds are coming off consistently each week and my overall mood has improved about my outlook on life and the best: I am so excited that I will hopefully attain where I can get off my diabetic & high blood pressure meds or at least reduce it to the LOWEST dosage. VEGAN 4-EVER!
It all started with the Daniel fasting for me and then I switched to Vegan.Initially I thought it was in my head, that I was feeling different so much that I had to do research why Im feeling so energetic.
Awesome, you felt it and then followed that feeling and figured it out! ❤
I started the "plant-based diet/vegan" and I can't believe how I feel, JUST FANTASTIC!!! I am 76 yrs young, and I have always been particular about what I would eat, but I wasn't "vegan", I ate a lot of meat and oils, but since I changed to vegan, I feel 100% percent better.
its becuase you have cleared out the shit in your diet but once the nutrient deficiencies kick in you wont be feeling fantasic people can feel great eating meat its all about how people sourse there meat
you only feel better becuase you removed al the crap from your diet but that wont last once your animal stores run out
and the diet not giving you what you need
@@darrenmcintosh8471 he didnt response. probaply plants killed him or her
Im 76 feeling 26. Looking 46.
@@darrenmcintosh8471 wrong! No steak or bacon since 1976😱Still here and I’m in better shape than 99% in my age groups!🌱💪🏼for decades!
I've been vegan since 4/1/21. It's made a huge difference in my health and mental state. Best decision I've ever made
I'm 69 and have been a vegan for two years and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I feel in the best shape I've ever been. I'm fairly skinny but I did lose weight -- two pounds ! (I've been the same weight for about 50 years).
my only regret about vegansim is i didnt jack it in sooner
I am 65 and have decided to stop procrastinating and start focusing on my health and start with vegetarian then go hopefully gradually go vegan. Really hoping it’s not to late to repair the body
I want to thank all the individuals here on this video who testified about their vegan experiences. Since June 2022, I have lost 30 pounds on a vegan-style diet. I just switched my eating habits. Had no idea about the vegan community and what it means to be a vegan. Our goal is to lose another 45 pounds to be at a normal weight loss range. I believe going all 100% vegan will help us get there. Thank you for uploading this video as a source of getting educated.
Coming up on three years vegan- my LDL went down by 24%, total cholesterol by 25%, and triglycerides by 39%. I also used to have severe eczema on my fingers, and it has completely cleared up and I haven't had an outbreak since.
Nearly 50. Stopped eating meat in 1989, now a vegan. I've spent a few nights in hospital due to various injuries but I've never been proper ill, touch wood! I like these spiritual beings talking here, they are good people.
@@davidmack5689 Veganism can run parallel to any religious belief, I don't judge my parents for eating meat either, it's a silly question really. I believe it would be really good for your biome for you to try a vegan diet for six weeks, and why not? What have you got to lose? Jesus will love you either way.
@@davidmack5689...and the fish that Jesus ate was likely not living in water contaminated with garbage, medical waste, human waste, death etc...💚🌿🌱
That’s when I was born.
I going vegan.
Vegan for a whole year love the nutrition my body gets and how I feel happier ,lighter and alot more positive about life . 40 years younger 🤗
ok right lets get something stright here im trying to help you so you dont destroy your health ok like many poeple are doing on a vegan diet the vegan diet is nutritionally deficient its a incomplete diet it doesnt give you all that you need there are around 7 nutrients that you cant get from plants that you need for proper brain functioning longterm
when people first go vegan they feel great becuase they have cleared out all the crap process food in there diet all the nasty fat and refined sugars
and you still have animal nutrients stored in your body how ever once they run out deficienty kicks in its all so worth bearing in mind that just becuase your comsume something dooes mean your absorbing the nutrients from those foods which is why 85% of vegans drop out eating meat is the healthiest diet out there if your geting it from a good sourse such as organic grass fed pasture raised
I'm a 55 yr old marathon running Taekwondo black belt. No medications and I never become ill. It's the plants! 🌱🥕🍎 Vegan strong 💪🏼🥋
I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I went vegan on June 2022. I tried hard years before but prices were prohibitive. I had a dog and watched "earthlings" and frankly I felt terrible eating animal produce. I insisted and began talking to the local vegan community and I learned with them that I didn't necessarily had to go entirely organic or eat fancy fruits and vegetables like cranberries, strawberries, almonds, chia, peaches, grapes, apples, blueberries, agave, etc. They told me I could and actually had to go local and eat more varieties of bananas, avocados, pineapple, hibiscus, guava, acerola, starfruits, coconut sugar, oranges, cashew, brazilian lettuce, manioc, limes, passion fruit, collard greens, okra, yams, chayote, peanuts, whole rice, flax seed and all sorts of beans. The price I had to pay decreased enormously. I found fruits, vegetables, legumes and roots that can't be even translated into English! Taioba, Almeirão, Jabuticaba, Jamelão, Pitanga, Açai, Cupuaçu, Umbu, Pequi, Ora-pro-Nobis, Cará, Araticum, etc.... gosh so many! Things that I have never heard before that are amazingly tasty and delicious and that can be ordinarily found in my country. Six months later into Veganism I feel great! It's not only my sense of guilt on animal cruelty that's gone but I'm full of energy at 55, much better than when I was 30, and not feeling a hint of depression, anxiety, insomnia, migraines or muscle and joint pain that I used to suffer from. It's like being reborn at midage! Another very important thing that I've noticed specially in times of Climate Change is that these fruits and vegetables - since they are not very caloric - have a very soothing and refreshing effect, so you don't feel very hot (in a good sense)!!!
my psoriasis started at the age of 20, at the age of 28 I had already had my joints damaged. At the age of 44 polyarthritis started, I hurt all my joints terribly, I could not move without much pain, my skin was badly damaged. I started having depression. But thank you wives, it helped me discover the miracle of plant nutrition, which is in its second year. 90 percent of my psoriasis is gone, I still play basketball, travel, live a normal life. In two years, I bought PSA only from a plant-based food diet, no medication, I would feel great,
Dr. Tuttle? WOW!!! Amazing
So many good examples. One of the changes I noticed that I haven't heard anyone else talk about is how my skin feels. I can feel my muscles easier, which have also changed - firmer muscles, and the skin itself feels silkier. So far I'm the only one who's said anything like that. My 16 year old just rolls his eyes. HA! That lighter feeling and deeper connection is evident too. Wish I had done this earlier. (Vegetarian - 2015, vegan - 2018... I'm 57)
Being vegan is the true path that God wants for humanity. As a doctor I believe that it is possible to cure all diseases by this way.
I believe so as well. I want to get off heart meds for afib😊
I did not realize what I was missing as I was not prepared to listen. For many years I was not receptive to this lifestyle, but eventually I became willing to listen. I am shocked at the general positive impacts it made in most areas of my life, Physical, Spiritual, Mental. Four years later I am forever changed for the better. I hope others can also become receptive when they are ready and feel the impacts for themselves. All the best.
ما هي الإيجابيات التي شعرت بها من الناحية الروحيه والجسديه
As a vegan I related to all these stories for all reasons mentioned in the video. I found this segment was so well done and edited seamlessly. Kudos to everyone who worked on this.
I’ve only been on this vegan journey for 10 days but this video is super inspiring. I pray I keep pushing through. The recipes I’ve been acquiring are fun to make & yummy. But one total benefit in just 10 days is that my sinus issue cleared up! 🙌🏾
You will do it! ❤️
Same my sinuses cleared up after cutting off meat and going plant based
How has it been going?
@@Addicted2myhusband it’s been going well! I’m staying strong. The hardest part is dining out because not everyone has a vegan selection on the menu.
I’m on day 5, you got this 💪🏽
Dr Mills story really touched me. I never knew he had it so hard to get to where he is today. ❤️
I've been vegan now for 6 yrs & havent had one cold. I feel stronger & am lifting weights I never thought possible before.
I started my journey after New Years Day. I can say that I do have more energy. It has been challenging but I'm committed to the process. With all of my health issues, I needed to make a change and going vegan was something I had not tried.
I just became vegan three and a half weeks ago(One month on this coming Friday, July 21st. I'm very excited about this new lifestyle and it's forever. I'm going to a hematologist on August 4th.I can't wait to see what's been happening since my beginnings of the vegan lifestyle. ❤
I love that it was mentioned about the expansion of compassion and love. I felt a symbolic veil lift and became extraordinarily empathetic. Thank you for this compilation - I will share it with my non-vegan spouse.
THE PEACE IN EVERYONE'S FACE IN THE BEST...IT MAKES THE VIDEO SO CALM 💙💙💙
I can't wait to do more of these. I've shot so many interviews since.
Yeah, it's a change from all the psuedo "Bros" yelling at the screen about how they eat sheep testicle ice cream for breakfast.
I have severe ADHD and while I still struggle with my symptoms, they aren't near as intense as they've been, and I can actually function without having to be on my meds. I still take them from time to time, but they days I don't take them/forget to take them are far less mentally exhausting, and I can still function. My executive function has been phenomenal.
Oh I’m so glad you made this video I have never felt better. I have eaten healthy my whole life except that I didn’t know meat and dairy was harmful and now after not eating meat and dairy for six months I have never felt better in my whole life; I want to cry with tears of joy because my mind is happy and my body is happy I have dealt with depression on and off my whole life and I’ve never been happier in my whole life ever since I stopped eating dairy please everybody please listen to this video. Please stop eating animal flesh for foods, at least give it a try for a couple months please.
> I have eaten healthy my whole life except that I didn’t know meat and dairy was harmful...
>> I [thought I had] eaten healthy my whole life except that I didn’t know meat and dairy was harmful...

I haven’t been eating dairy and egg for 2 years but after watching this video i decided to go vegan.
Great video! Let's get the word out as much as possible about the benefits of the whole food plant based diet! 👍🏼
This is a great video. Highly informative and insightful
Hello all, been vegan for over a year now and I just love it. I lost over 30 pounds and I have so much energy. No regrets for me. There is so much info about being vegan but you have to find that balance that works for you.
I’m 23. For two years straight I was dealing with extreme pain all over my body to where I felt like I was 50 years old. My bones popping like popcorn. I removed I did 3 weeks of no meet and dairy. I felt so alive. But than I went back to eating meet no dairy. All the sudden my body was way worse than before. I just felt dead. I love exercising. And I couldn’t it. So I went back to eating just eating WFPB diet. 3 weeks in my body felt more alive, and I had more energy. I have no one to thank but the Lord Jesus Christ. He definitely lead me to this decision. As I was miserable, my mental health horrible, I could barely keep a job. I was hurting and my mental health was just so bad. But again I give praise to the Most High. He saved my life!!!
Awesome video, Jeff and Vegan Linked! You rock!
Love this compilation!! ❤️✌️💪🐮🐷🐥🦃🦆🦊🐒🐑🐟🌱🍌🫐🍎🥦🌎☮️
I first came across this channel a few weeks ago, and have been watching videos here almost daily since then. I needed some reminders of why to get back to a strict wfpb diet, and the videos here have helped tremendously.
Wow that's awesome thanks for being in the mix! I work hard to do all of this and it's a very laborious emotional roller coaster ride the entire time so it's great to hear feedback :-)
Thank you very much for all vegan !
i am vegan too .
And thanks to you for beeing vegan. Helps the world tremendously. I became vegetarian for 1 year ago and closing ind to beeing vegan;) Why: 1. for the climate. 2. for animals rights 3. for my health... in that order;)
My friend went vegan and lost 10 pounds. She suggested this UA-cam and now you guys are starting to convince me to go vegan. I’m a bit scared to try it but I will start it today. Thank you!!
Awesome, I'm going to be uploading a new series of stories soon. Let me know if you have any questions. No reason to be scared of beans, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices! I've been vegan since 2011. My favorite tool that I didn't discover until a few years ago is the daily dozen app by nutritionfacts.org backed by the most comprehensive meta-analysis on nutritional science. It's totally free and simple as can be. I link to it here along with some other helpful stuff: VeganLinked.com/GoVegan but that app will get you eating a great variety whole plant foods. And nutritionfacts.org has thousands of concise videos linked from within that app that are educational and fun ❤
You may lose weight, but you may not. There are plenty of chunky vegans. However, vegan's really not meant to be a weight loss diet. It's about an ethical treatment of animals, & the environment. Sadly those who adopt it because of weight, & tend to eat calorie & nutritionally deficient diets, tend to suffer health issues, & drop out because of it. Not because it is "vegan" but because there were not eating enough balanced nutrition.
They were, in essence, fasting & you can only fast for so long.
99.99%, any "vegans" you hear or see on YT having health issues, were on some extreme fasting diet of fruits, juices, smoothies etc ... and, invariably, binge swinging because that diet's just not practical or balanced.
Do it for the animals & environment, not your waistline. You will experience fantastic benefits once you establish a good routine; your skin, your smell, your sense of taste & smell, raging etc. I've been vegan for 35+ year now & for most of that I passed for someone 10 years younger. I like to eat, & could eat a lot, but I never had to worry about putting on weight.
My advice is that our diets have been so corrupted by commercial interests that we've got to relearn what food and diet is again, so look at traditional diet patterns & learn from them. Treat yourself when you need, but tend towards local, seasonal & in proportion to what nature produces in which ever zone you live in. Afford fresh, quality wholefood ingredients.
Try Challenge22 for support. Good kuck.
@@jonahwhale9047 eating a variety of whole plant foods is the best way to achieve and maintain the perfect weight and optimum healthspan! ❤ your spot on about the vegan fails too, I've noticed the same thing. They never just stick with a variety of whole plant foods long enough to properly acclimate. And they never see a whole food plant based doctor. Most of it may also be resolved with a little time restricted intermittent fasting :)
@@VeganLinked I don't know about fasting, & certainly not on its own. Eating has so many emotional or sentimental connections that I think it's there that we have to look for the root problems & treatment, e.g. where people are habituated by growing up as kids where cakes & candies were love replacements, or who using overeating to render themselves literally unconscious & unfeeling to silence unrelated to diet issues.
For some fasting can be like more punishment or self-harm, without there being some love or self-love element.
Veganism is already kind of a fast & if you get it close to right, there shouldn't be a need.
I'm not a diet expert but it appears to me that too many of those talking about (not you here) have orthorexic tendencies.
Yes, it feels great to be skinny but don't most who try to use it that way, end up in cycles of fasting then bingeing?
@@jonahwhale9047 time restricted intermittent fasting is excellent. It's a longevity hack. It isn't restricting calories at all, it just allows for a proper metabolic break from digesting. It's just eating everything within an 8 hour window or less. And getting bulk of calories earlier in the day. You're right that eating is emotional and people have toxic hunger rather than true hunger. It is just talking things to another level. Food really should merely be fuel to do great things... eat to live, not live to eat :)
I loved this video! I felt so connected to who I am and how I live listening and relating to their stories. I need to have more vegans in my life.
It’s true I feel great at 55 before I was sick as a dog . I’m happy today
I have been one of the biggest meat eaters. I have now become a vegitarian, and i am so surprised how easy it was. I still do not understand that it was that easy. Now that i do not gain anything from eating meat, i can se morally on it for the first time. When people like/gain somthing moral drops. If they do not, moral comes. I see that now, and what a discovery;)
Awesome. You may want to watch this regarding dairy if you're still doing that...ua-cam.com/video/UcN7SGGoCNI/v-deo.html
@@VeganLinked My god how blind people can be. I have been raised on a farm, but have never seen it in that perspective. How can we be so blinde.

@@bnk9477 You can get everything on a plant based diet, but I would start tracking your diet in Chronometer just to see what you may need to supplement. Usually vegans need to watch out for B12 deficiency, but a lot of plant milks are fortified with it.

Got diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. Did new treatments to retain my prostate and decided to go vegan to help reduce probability of recurrence. Been 2 months now.. need to work on getting proper sources of whole food plant-based diet so that I always have something nutritious at home and while driving around.
Nutritionfacts.org has some great videos to learn more and PCRM if you haven't already checked them out.
@@VeganLinked yep, the fb group I'm in is based on dr Gregor's work.. I use his app to track my daily meal plan. The more videos I see from him and others on this channel I realize I've been abusing my body for so many years. Hoping by feeding it better fuel et al that I can undo some of the damage.
Good luck with your healing journey x

Thank you for this video 🤗🤗🥰
Thank you very much for this! It is great to see other vegans! I’ve been vegan (or on a whole-foods, plant-based diet) for 5 years. I almost never meet other vegans, so this is amazing! Since going vegan, I feel like the blood can move through my body more easily. I feel better. Michael Greger, M.D., gave me the courage to go vegan.
You would probably really like the video I did of Dr Michael Greger receiving the vegan Hall of Fame award you should check it out he's one of my favs.
I have been working on a website that may make you feel like you're not the only vegan around it's called veganlinked.com. I'm starting to soft launch it and eventually, hopefully people like you will be able to find like-minded people, organizations, products, information, etc in proximity. ❤️ You can join and add listings for others as well to start building up your vegan community!
Yes, his book, "How Not to Die" is pretty good!
Vegan for the last 4 years, vegetarian for 26 years.I can’t imagine eating any other way🥦🥒🍆🥑🌶🍓🍎
Three weeks tomorrow of going vegan! I don’t feel spiritual but I do love that I don’t have the urge to overeat or to eat too much of anything. I do feel the lightness mentioned. The quality of my sleep is much better I am hoping I will lose the extra weight that I am carrying around but I do this for the animals not as a diet. Thank you for sharing this video nice to see what people from all walks of life and who’s been doing it for decades experience!
Sweet! Thanks for watching and commenting. You're off to a great start. The daily dozen app by nutritionfacts.org is a great tool to help you get on a solid routine. A variety is important within the beans, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices!
love the lady holding and petting a chicken in her lap. Chickens are some of my best friends.
So many beautiful reasons to be vegan!
A video about that is coming soon ❤
@@VeganLinked I look forward to seeing it!
I can totally vouch for what these guys are saying. I feel fucking fantastic. At 31 I have the energy of when I was 16! 🥰👍🌱
I went Plant- Based since 2018, and I support this sharing.
Blessings! 💚💯
Did you know this is the Original diet in Bible ? God plan this diet from the beginning of time so that is why you all feel so good. Did you also know that Jesus can make you feel amazing combined with this diet It’s all god plan
Amen!
I’ve been vegan-ish since 2014 thanks to “Forks Over Knives”. No weight or health revolutions, as I was already eating mostly veggies and little junk. I was hard-core for six years. I erred along the way with a few eggs and some shellfish. I had to stop sending back the Greek salad if the server brought it with feta cheese. I am vegan at home and as much as I can be when I’m out. I have learned how to veganize many restaurant menus. I will eat the vegetarian options when I am a guest. I’m not allergic. I changed my “label” to plant-based or vegetarian just so people don’t say, “I thought you said…“
Vegans are hard on vegans. It’s not a contest! It’s a fantastic life decision in terms of animal welfare, the environment, and your own personal health.
I am still very confused over some nutritionist/doctor research. Grains good or bad? Olive oil good or bad? Nuts good or bad?
People are hard on people and vegans are still people. And most vegans I know are easy to get along with on any level.
As for food, it's pretty straightforward, eat a variety of whole plant foods. So whole grains, nuts and seeds, beans, greens, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, herbs and spices are all legit and eat a variety of each. Oil is not a whole food. An olive is a whole food.
As for your relaxed approach, I can't imagine consuming any part of an animal or secretions so I would find it more appropriate to simply fast or plan better. Being consistent isn't fanatical, not that you're saying it is... but the implication would go there easy enough
Thanks so much for watching and commenting candidly ❤!
Hi all. I've being vegan going on 8 years. My personal experience was long journey, but I felt spiritual amazing like I walk thru fire against those who did not understand the vegan lifestyle is optimal heath and spiritual foods that will feed your soul and spirit that is the mystery. I was able to heal within and forgive so many people. I am free and you will be free too. The Holy spirit is Real, ye shall be transformed by Fire and water. Stay strong you got this!
A plant-based diet, I find more suitable for me. Also, it forces me to not be complacent and cook (or prep) my own meals.
Vegetarian since last October. My 2 teen sons encouraged me.
Awesome testimony, now officialy started my vegan journey.....thank you for this channel....hope some more update as i always watch this channel, hope i am not too late as i turn to my golden years....
Beautiful! ❤ It isn't too late but you may have some difficulties transitioning if you're not used to these foods in which case ideally you would ideally see a plant based doctor and get professional guidance into your journey of healthier and more compassionate living!
I feel the spiritual aspect deeply. Love this and veganism
When I saw the massive amounts of colorful foods vegans ate and learned the types of foods vegans ate were anti-inflammatory I wanted to go from vegetarian to vegan quickly. My allergies, eczema, and energy was improved right away. I like to eat alot of food without worry and the vegan diet allows me to do that. I have overdone it with the fiber because i love broccoli so much but it ends up being fine. 😁 Going vegan was the best decision Ive made over the past 3 years. 💕
I went plant based a couple years ago. I was told I wouldn't be able to get pregnant without taking medication due to having PCOS. The doctor thought it was funny when I mentioned a plant based diet. I did a plant based diet anyway and it was amazing. I ended up getting pregnant without even trying. Im usually a tired person and I had a crazy amount of energy. I also lost 15 pounds without a lot of exercise. I went back to eating meat and didn't feel good. I've been plant based for a couple days now, round 2😊
Forgot to mention I only went plant based for 3 months.
I hate when doctors make fun of use when we really no what’s best for the kids use.In look you did it anyway in bless with your baby
For use
When Dr NB starts the video you know it’s gonna be good !
Oh no, I hope my other ones are good because I don't start with him and the others I'm about to upload like this lol
I wasn't allergic to dairy and I enjoyed eating meat, but I became vegan for the animals, the environment, our planet, and for a better world!
This is just wonderful and ty to all who contributed to it! I am now convinced to go the next step towards my goal to be the person I know I desire to be because I have been back and forth. Mostly due to family pressure but also it was just habit though my health has suffered from it!
Awesome to hear! I'm editing the second series now, so lots more to come ❤
Never felt better in my life vegan is life, was vegetarian for many years, still felt great then also ,, love animals ❤ and love life
Being Vegan is the best way to live 🍎🍍🥕🥭🥝🍊
For a long time I wasn’t able to go to 160 lbs & 180-200 seems astronomical. Last week I tried 8 reps of 180, was hyped, did 6 of the 200 lbs. I was just sore the next day, recovery time was short. After 2 days of legs & then my full body workout day came, I went light!
awesme video. People taking responsibility of themselves and waking up! 8 yrears vegan and thriving... bless
As a vegan myself for a long time, I am resonating so much with them.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and meaningful compilation.

I am keeping a low profile.
Really enjoy watching all the good video clips from your production.
Thank.
@@tansimchong674 Your story can save a lot of lives; human lives and even more animal lives! Let me know when you're ready :)
I did it for 3 months and no cheat days. I was in school and working full time and managed to go to the gym 5 times a week. I believe that going vegan through that time kept me energetic and focused. I felt so greattttt.
Thanks dear I needed this, it's inspiring ❤❤
I am 30, 5’10, and 253 pounds. I am trying to eliminate dairy from my diet as a start to a healthier lifestyle. I have suffered with asthma and severe allergies for most of my life and it feels good to now know why. It is going to take a lot for me to be disciplined enough to do it, but I have to!
Go carnivore will save ya life 💪
When I went fully WFPB vegan 🌱 I stopped getting sick! I used to be very sick but in 2018 was the last time I was sick ever. I’ve been eating animals 30% of the time after falling back but being 70% WFPB vegan has enabled me to be healthy and avoid doctors and drugs. I love this interview and I’m watching on a binge WITHOUT MODERATION the videos on this incredible channel today after fasting and resetting my body to go fully vegan!
Awesome, I can't wait to share what I've been capturing and soon will release!!!
@@VeganLinked I’m grateful for your hard HEART work and excited to watch all your videos

I work daily drink lots of water. #vegansrock
thanks so much, I can't wait to do a current version of this.
congratulations, you're doing awesome!
Excellent video, thank you all so much! My only regret about going plant based is not doing it sooner. 🙏🏼👏🏼🙌❤️💛🖤💚🌎
The doctor always tell you it runs in your family (like Cholesterol and BP) to write prescriptions. It's not by chance out of the siblings, I am the leanest, healthiest, best blood markers, the oldest (by 12 years), no cholesterol meds, no BP meds, and apparently I am the loose screws as well because I have not eaten animals in years!!
Been plant based for a yr and a half. Been smoking for 18 yrs. Still smoking but cutting back. Anyways my blood work came back perfect a few weeks ago, even with me still smoking. So for me eating meat is worse than smoking on my body. No more BP meds as well.
Yes, meat, eggs, and dairy definitely are. And plants are protective against lung cancer, esp. sulforaphane from raw cruciferous. But you should quit because of course smoking is stupid and deadly and could still result in cancer, COPD, heart disease, etc... Plants may be protective but they don't make us invincible :) I use to smoke and quit 15 years ago. My therapist told me he though it was stupid 32 years ago. That stuck in my head and when it was time I just imagined everyone looking stupid that did it and replaced the desire with simply breathing in fresh air. I also didn't tell anyone I quit and that helped me emulate a nonsmoker. You sound like you're cognizant of the need, you're going to rock it! Keep up the great work!
@@VeganLinked the reason why doctors dont want you know so can get on medication. Doctors and Scientists was programmed keep us sick not well. That's why they say its diet when is lifestyle.
Also make sure completely get off smoking. Smoking even worse as well. Smoking cause damage liver and kidney. You dont want get to the point back into the doctor for that.My father in the hospital now because of this. You are young until work all these things not good for your body little by little you will learn more what is supposed be in your body. Even alcohol poisoning as well
These things never health.
@@keyana-theartist4582 all kinds of things are bad, but eating animals is the worst on every level since it's harmful to more than just the individual
I wached Eartlings right now.... Man !!!
I'm vegan a week now and I am already feeling the results of it ☺
Awesome! Daily Dozen app by nutritionfacts.org is an awesome tool for getting a great variety of healthy whole plant foods! There's a lot to learn for most people, especially over time... sound like you're off to a great start
@@VeganLinked thank you so much, I've joined the vegan society and linked with various vegan friendly organizations, I've grocery shopped online and locally, I feel great, cleared out my non vegan stuff, I feel transformed and invigorated ☺
@@VeganLinked I've just subscribed to nutrition facts. Thank you for the link 👍
@@Callumdevan17 you're on a roll!!!
@@VeganLinked I hope the journey will last a life time, I'm doing it for 3 reasons, animals, health and for the environment.
Katya is great 🧡 Had the opportunity to meet her at a NC VegFest in 2019.
I enjoyed this video I’ve been a vegan for 4 years
Nice Documentary!!!
Thanks, I will be doing several more of these collages based off of the series of stories I did recently. Then I will go get 25 more stories (I'm working on those now) and produce another sting of collages like these. Thanks so much for watching!!! ❤
@@VeganLinked Thank YOU!
What is terrific about this diet is that it isn’t just good for celebs but for the average person too. And it is something that because you can do it, it develops self-respect. People who do not care what the physical harm they are doing to their body don’t have self-respect for themselves as they never feel they are in control. With WFPB, the self-control comes built in with the starch as Dr. John McDougall has said and then we can prove that to ourselves.
Now my husband has not been fully with the program but I’ve been cranking up the starch he’s eating. He turns down things he had no control before like snacking on Planters Nuts. Now he’s feeling better too. But he has no desire to return to the richer foods. So, the self-control is built into the starchy foods which is at the center of the diet.
I am 70 and walking up to 6 miles a day. And it is not exhausting. It is amazing how much walking tones up even one’s arms and waistline.
This is a not a diet, it is the way to live. The other way, was the way of death. I would hate with the rise in the cost of groceries if we were buying all the meat and fish and chicken and pork products we ate.
I am no longer a slave to my tastebuds. I get hungry but have time to make us a meal which is on our diet without nibbling as I go. I feel like I own my life instead of being enslaved to addictive tastes than now I find repulsive.
Excellent, thanks for sharing!
I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (colon-liver). The doctor knew I ate plenty of meat, as he asked me prior to my chemo treatments. That was 2014, I struggled to get into vegan lifestyle. Slowly I’d go to a vegetarian lifestyle & suddenly after doing a fast, meat, even a little made me sick. I was 343 pounds, between cancer & chemo, lost plenty of this dead fresh. Today at 64, I’m able to be in the gym 5-6 days a week. I go 4-6 weeks doing this weight lifting & my energy improved slowly as I switched last August to being a vegan. The face vegans are really crazy, I do my own thing. I tell the doctor, she has an odd look on her face, started asking me about “drug use”, I’m like Doc, not eating meat isn’t drug use! She claimed it’s no way I could have great blood test numbers, cholesterol lower than 200(148), weight gone. Now I feel better. I am trying to find my threshold in the gym as of the top weight to lift, pull & more. Today vegan products $78 at the store. Vegan cheese was $15 for 3 packS!
Oh wow may I ask your remedies
So how is your diagnosis? How much weight did you lose? I was waiting for you to close with those results. 😊
@@lovelove326 my cancer was in 2014, surgery after surgery! I’m still here in 2022! I gained plenty back to go back to 245-255, not smart! Today I’m 178 & a gym rat! 6 days a week I’m in there sweating my you know what off, plus keeping track of calories
@@MrLee4love WOW!!! Bless you sir! Keep on keeping on & thank you for sharing! 💕
Just watched “What the Health” on Netflix. Now I’m here. Wake up call!
I am finishing the documentary called “Dominion” all about factory farming. I think that and “What the Health” are inspiring me to become vegan. I’ve started and I am learning!
@@carmendelgado105 Ooh, I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Stepped out of the matrix, now I live in the real vegan world 🌎
Thank you so much it’s so so so inspiring these testimonies ❤️ . I have been vegan but had health issues ( not enough proteins , albumin , iron in my 🩸 lab) but I have a gastric bypass but was plant based for 3 years this was in 2012 ~2015 but mentally I felt so well. Ever since I try to go back but I know I will I want to . My trigger cheese 🧀 and chicken / 🦃 turkey once a while 😞☹️here in Switzerland but since then the supermarkets have much more tofu , vegan products ( cheese ; substitutes; plant milk and yogourts). My 5 children then were small and were 80% vegetarian unfortunately since they refuse and are Omni . But never less i today know what I have to do for myself and be tolerant and loving we each go on our path at a different rythmin. As I like dates it helps me to give me motivation so 1.1.2021 my date to become plant based. And I m going to go slowly until then. My breakfast are vegan so this week supper vegans and lunches one day after the other. I never stopped plant based yogourts and milk. 🙏💪😍thank you beacause these videos on your chanel help me to be plant based again by 1.1.2021🙂
Thanks for sharing. I hope you can find a plant based physician to work with. You should have perfect labs on a whole food plant based vegan diet. You are right that we all come into this in our own way because most of us weren't raised on a whole food vegan diet. I'm confident you can do this especially with a plant based doctor. Systematically introduce those whole plant foods; beans, greens, grains, fruits, veggies,mushrooms, nuts and seeds into you diet like those in the daily dozen app by nutritionfacts.org. I have some tips on veganlinked.com/govegan as well. Best wishes!
I've lost about 14 kg (28 pounds, ish) in the past year. There's no way I'd be able to easily pick up a suitcase or bag weighing that much, so how did I even carry that around with me all the time?
It was distributed and so borne by your whole skeleton, unlike lifting a bag one-armed that uses a smaller kinetic chain. Same thing if you add muscle weight.
@@liamtaylor4955 Yes, that makes sense - although when I stood or walked, the weight would have been borne by my feet - quite a strain!
Oh that’s long, I lost this amount in 3 month
Beautiful Video it’s All Truth 💯
Thank you!!! ❤
Daiya SLICED cheese is actually pretty good, my favorite store bought so far. I add a little nutritional yeast to add to the cheesy taste and also boosts my B12.
Try Miyoko’s Creamery plant based cheeses. Daiya isn’t even the same ballpark. Miyoko makes a phenomenal mozzarella - that’ll make you sing. Artisan cheese wheels as well. All organic. Game changer.
I usually don't tell this story because people believe I am crazy, but because this lady was talking about the fear and anxiety that animals feel before they are killed , I will tell it hear.
The reason I became vegetarian in Argentina in 1973, when I was only 17, is because since I was a little kid I had this nightmare often that I was a cow experiencing fear and anxiety and was about to be killed ( I remember this dream still now exactly how it was, because the dream was always the same).One day my mother make me my favorite dish, milanesa con papas fritas (breaded stake with french fries) and as soon I put a piece of that flesh in my mouth, I almost vomit, because I remembered the dream and realize that was a piece of dead animal.To make the story short, since that day I never eat meat again, and I became vegan in 2003 when I found out about how milk extraction was done.I believe that or I was a cow in another life, or I was a butcher, but I never did see in the dream an human, only a black cow suffering from fear and anxiety, and since I stopped eating meat, the nightmare never came back.
Your story kind of reminds me of Gwenna's! :) ua-cam.com/video/KptAnP_9hA0/v-deo.html
@@VeganLinked I watched, and loved it, thank you again for your work
I've been vegan for 3 weeks and I find myself really enjoying the lifestyle, but every once in a while I have a negative thought. I haven't lost any weight, but I do feel lighter. I am having cravings for foods like pasta, burgers, and tacos, but I've been pushing myself to stay the course. I want to be successful and look back in a year at a slimmer, more healthy me.
Maybe try some new recipes. The cleaner, more whole foods you eat consistently the less you'll want anything less. Make black bean burgers, chickpea burgers, sweet potatoes burgers, jackfruit, lentil, etc all kinds of ways to make burgers. But I never make burgers. I'm more bowls, soups/salads...
Screw it!!! After I'm recovered from this stroke it's vegan for me from now on!!!
Being a born vegetarian and vegan since age 10, I always admire people who try out plant based food. They are the one who can make huge difference to themselves, families and also, innocent animals out in the world.

@@VeganLinked Hi, I have followed the given link and sent a brief story. Thank you for this great idea and the initiative you have taken to influence peoples' lives. 🙏
@@Dr-Indu awesome!
@@Dr-Indu I threw that page together kind of quick yesterday to see if it would make it easier to get others in the mix. I didn't have a lot of time to proof it, hope it went well.

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community
You are not what you eat. YOU ARE WHAT YOU ABSORB.
And you absorb what you eat, lol. And if you know a couple of tricks you can increase absorption. And if you were raised eating whole plant foods it helps too.
@@VeganLinked Uhh, no, that is the whole point. For example, you absorb only 20% of the cholesterol that you eat.
@@gmnotyet I don't eat cholesterol, plants have phytosterol and I absorb 0% of it.
@@gmnotyet If you add citric acid rich foods like lemon or vinegar for example to your dark green leafy's you increase absorption of certain minerals like iron. Adding pepper increases absorption of curcumin. Tannins decrease absorption of iron. Etc...
Feels more planted life wise!
