plant-based posers. should stop referring to themselves as 'vegans' veganism is about Animal Rights it is not about health stop being selfish and stop by a carnist apologists
Says even if you go 70% plant based will help when the food pyramid is mainly plant based and thats the problem,but demonise meat,when it's all the sugar and oils you combine your food.If you cut out sugar and oil and buy more grass fed meat and eggs,fermented milk and vegetables thats what will improve your gut,vitamin and nutrient absorption optimising your health without the need to be constantly making so many meals and popping pills/supplements to think you're getting healthy.Vegan diet is very anti nutrient,destroys your gut and gas indigestible fibre,you're not absorbing hardly anything even when volume of food is increased,the bioavailability of vitamin and nutrients is so low,all your doing when you're feeling good on vegan you're basically on a cleanse,running of your stores,glucose for energy from all them carbs,you start eating yourself why lose allot of weight initially then goes the muscle tissue and collagen if followed for years,aging and mental decline,stores run out you try start feeling the problems some more with metabolic syndrome where you lack so much muscle tissue you start storing to fat allot easier end up with a pot belly or looking like a tmnt like vegan gains.youre surviving not thriving
When I first started my plant based diet I went from 80 kilo's to 70 kilo's in 6 weeks, it scared the hell out of me because I didn't want to lose weight beyond that point. So when I heard I just had to eat more, I did just that, I pretty much doubled my breakfast and stuffed myself full every meal. I got horrible bloating from it and the increase of fibre I got also didnt make me feel very good. Eventually I found a balance where I didnt get bloated and even started gaining a small amount of weight again, but it really does make me understand that some people can get negative effects from going vegan/plant based. It just means your body didnt adapt yet, or that it is so different from what you used to do that you need to make some other changes. That does not change the science on the topic though, it is a far more healthy diet than a meat eating diet.
@@thedoc5848 The body can never adapt to eating cadavers. It causes severe constipation and putrefies (stinks) in the colon and bowels. The human body is designed to consume whole plant fibers which moves our bowels.
Jeff Hall Not true. B12 is a microorganisms that lives in dirt and other areas. Our ancestors didn’t wash everything so that’s partly how they got their B12. That’s how the animals get it too, they still eat off the ground. But even meat eaters don’t often consume enough B12 because there isn’t an abundance in meat. Just an FYI.
Haters gonna hate, man. Just keep being that peaceful, loving being you are who expresses themselves through truth and honesty and you WILL go far, my friend 💖💚💜🌿
@@gmnotyet THAT IS NONSENSE. ALL B12 IS CREATED BY BACTERIA PLANTS BEFORE MODERN AGRICULTURE CONTAINED B12 EVEN THE WATER THEY DRANK HAD B12 THE HUMAN BODY CAN MAKE B12.
My experience eating plant based food is that you are more even in blood sugar over time. Eating nuts (as snack and complement during and between meals) and beans makes you last at high energy level all day. Being 45 years old (now 46) it feels like reversing ones age by eating plant based food since the change of food intake.
I have been vegan and WFPB off and on for 30 years, everything from all raw, to macrobiotic, to WFPB, to no oil high starch, etc. I've learned what works for me and what doesn't. There really is bioindividuality based on many, many factors, and something that works at one point needs to change up when lifestyle, age, circumstances, etc, change. I'm almost 55 and started getting hot flashes about 4 years ago (still menstruating, but those can start before menses totally stops). Black cohosh helped for awhile, then stopped. Soy helped a LOT, then stopped. Then I started trying a high fat, low carb, mostly plant based diet, (eating some animal foods) and my hot flashes stopped. Didn't think much about that, was just glad they stopped. Then about 2 months ago I wanted to get as lean, fit and healthy as I possibly could, so went back to 100% WFPB, dropping wheat (mostly) because I'm really intolerant to it, more of a Furhman-esque dietstyle. Started dropping weight, and feeling amazing, BUT, hot flashes came raging on again. I'd noticed that when I'd go vegan again after a few days. So.....very reluctantly, and sadly, I've started eating some eggs and poultry again, and within 5 days, the hot flashes are going away. Don't know why this is but think it has to do with adrenal hormone production and sex hormones. I can not afford overpriced doctors and hormone replacement therapy, and wouldn't do that anyway. NOT EVERYONE IS THE EXACT SAME! Some people actually, for real, really do need some animal foods, even if only for a time. Not sure why all the plant based people are so religiously blind about that. But MOSTLY, or ALL WFPB is THE BEST, if someone can thrive on it.
Animal foods have some nutrients that plants don't have much or any of, and vice versa for plants. Carnivores say they don't need vitamin c because they don't eat carbs or that they get it from meat which is bs. They also say retinol is better than beta carotene when infact its more dangerous due to the lack of regulation in the body where as flavinoids have limited conversion and the more vitamin a you have the less you will make because they body smart. However veal liver is a very good source of b12. Only 12g for 100% dv b12 and retinol. Also vegans who don't supplement b12 riboflavin iodine and MAYBE dha epa are lost too. Balance
No amount of animal products are welcome in my system. No way no how. I went vegetarian (dairy & eggs) for a year, long ago... stopped after I felt weak... years later got really sick with sore throats... went fully vegan... 12 years later I’m still doing great. I know it’s because I never have any animal products. I appreciate I allowed myself to flow until I found my best life.
I went vegan 6 years ago. Got off my blood pressure meds. In fact, at 74 years old I'm not on any meds. Bloodwork is normal. But I went to the dentist today...and am so eased to note....healthy gums and teeth!
People still love to hear good things about bad habits...we need think about the environment and the animals and stop worrying about whether we should eat meat every day...and we are fishing the oceans dry!!Wake up people!!
The diet of 84 year old, still actively weight training fitness expert, Clarence Bass comes to mind. For multiple decades, he has maintained a diet consisting overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) of plant based foods. He supplements his diet with occasional cheese, eggs, and modest servings of meat, within serving size recommendations (to which few Americans adhere) This diet has enabled him to retain a body fat composition and overall health profile that most 30 year old men would envy.
I love his "use the carrot not the stick" approach to people becoming vegan through a plant based approach. The more whole fruits & veggies the better! Clearly he knows he's preaching to the choir. He doesn't even bother to answer the question about why some people may suffer on vegan diet but redirects you to "healthy examples of vegan diet." He pulls the straw man fallacy out for the second question. Instead of speaking to the question of why some people feel better if eat a "little animal product" he talks about sugar & junk food. The good doctor has a wonderful grasp of the value of a plant based vegan diet but when it comes to why vegans feel better after eating some animal products, he's very clear about the fact that... he just doesn't know. It's great that so many doctors are finally getting the plant based message but with vegans falling ill on a long time nutrient rich vegan diet - we need more doctors looking into this... rewatching an inspirational movie isn't going to cut it.
@@IEEteammateMATT1 How we digest is a matter of bacteria in our gut biome. If you have a meat digesting gut biome and want to increase plants in the diet you will experience a period of discomfort while old bacteria is starved out and new starch eating bacteria increase. It's like a war in your gut. This is why those who drop all animal products and go wholly plant based feel so good so fast. It a quick biome change. But for those who continue to feed both sides of the war - the suffering can last a long time before the biome finds a peaceful balance. Everyone can develop a biome that makes fiber a breeze to process.
Five year vegan. I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar and oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flourless bread, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
Excellent video & interview. Those who have tried being on a vegan whole plants foods lifestyle but fail have done questionable practices such as drinking their urine, fasting for long periods of time and low carbohydrate and high fat diet and restricted their calories and not taking medication and medical advice on their health issues.
@@KingNuich I've eaten plenty of grassfed pasture raised organic beef(80/20) and I don't necessarily feel better at all. I don't even know at this point.
@@punker4Real Carnivores have no logical answers except veganism being low in iodine and riboflavin and zinc. Everything else can easily be taken care of without supplements(if you get enough ala and balance it in a 1:1 to 2.3:1 omega 6 to 3 ratio you shouldn't need to supplement dha and epa at least for the majority of people 5.65g ala to 12.99g la) , and carnivores and omnivores also supplement.
@@punker4Real Excess retinol is toxic and you can easily get it vitamin a as a prodrug from beta carotene and other certain flavinoids. Vitamin c is essential and carnivores and some omnivores are lacking in it. 200g fresh broccoli steamed for 15 minutes has 120-180mg vitamin c and 100-200mg a day is optimal for maximum intracellular levels with no increase in oxalates or uric acid in urine(they start to increase around 400mg as well as ascorbic acid elimination which suggests excess is being excreted as well as metabolized into oxalate and other things).
I love my plant based diet. Highly suggest getting your carbs in . They do not make you fat, they give you energy. The butter, sourcream, and all the crap you add with it turns to fat.
@@thickboy1737 I had diabetes, and was put on a plant based diet by my dietician during pregnancy. Also, My Dad had a stroke, and is recovering quickly off a plant based diet. How long were you vegan for before you failed your diet? I will have been vegan for 12 years this Summer. I've never been healthier. I am the same size I was at 18, only now I dont get anemic between meals. My kids developed fine in utero, and are totally fine 10 years later, as vegans. You obviously werent getting necessary nutrients, or werent getting enough calories.
I fast every three months, it's just my thing. I go back to eating just plants and I feel great! I can see how people easily restrict calories, which resticts nutrients ultimately. I eat so much more in portion sizes than the meat eaters that I know. They wonder where I put it all...
@@thickboy1737 It took me 2 years to find the right balance of foods for me and my body, now its sweet. (Being a vegan I wasn't going to give up anyway lol 🤷)
@@thickboy1737 you mean your diet failed? what was your calorie intake? what foods were you eating? did you have gut / bowel problems? the 2500 kcal guideline is based on self-reports and often people underreport their food intake. Data is more in line with men needing a minimum of 3,000 kcals. I find a lot of vegans eat less than that though because they want to stay skinny or whatever. It can be difficult to get all the nutrients without eating a lot.. but I really think calories are most important. I see too many people going on lower calorie intakes failing to thrive after a few years.
I wish people watch this video. It answers some nuanced questions greatly. I never want to be a radical vegan, bc that doesn't help anyone, and I want people to be able to learn and take action, not get defensive and avoid it. And I find that only through science, can you truly touch someone, bc everyone values knowledge, not everyone can be touched by the ethical aspects immediately, but science, that's the biggest advantage that you can have in an argument , cause it is so hard to disprove. Bc it is the closest thing to the truth we humans can reach. Experimentation, theorizing, clinical trials that aren't always funded by biased groups, those things are valuable and necessary to change the way a person thinks.
Great video, thanks for sharing in regards to education! Definitely helping my plant based journey, I’m excited to be back in the kitchen and trying new recipes! I’ll stick to putting life into my body ^_^ 🌱
@@gSWG3R Yes but a lot of people even if they eat as much fiber rich food as they can their microbiome never bounces back because of a huge problem we are all facing with our environment. I do agree that the diet of humans is a vegan one, but there is a vegan killer that nobody is talking about. PLEASE look at the full Dr. Zach Bush presentation ua-cam.com/video/O1aD5NpTLXY/v-deo.html on the microbiome and you'll soon understand what is happening to all of these ex vegans and to all of your surrounding meat eater friends.
@@christianwilliams1136 it's not that it never bounces back, it just encourages negative bacteria, you could make it through the slump, or eat hypoallergenic foods, and other foods like greens to readjust it. Taking baking soda can change your metabolic profile and help... so you are right, but maybe not as informative as you can be by implicating the microbiome.. It's still important to do the things that encourage a healthy microbiome. And there's also tests ($200) from Viome.com that can really show you what's going on.. I would recommend following the tips to heal or stabilize your microbiome and if problems still persist, get your biome tested
@@gSWG3R Yes he sells a redox supplement. But look at the full presentation and you'll see that this is not a quak. He was even featured in one of Rich Roll podcast.
Fantastic and educational interview. A plant-based nutrition is a good long term decision for your life. You contribute to the environment and improve your health at the same time.
My appetite naturally averages around 3000 kcal, and more when activity increases. After I did the fast in 2014, my appetite was 5000-7000 kcal for many months.
I think this doctor is confusing plant-based with Veganism. Vegan is in regards to animal advocacy. I think this is becoming a misuse of the word. Veganism is not a diet. I think we really need to distinguish the two. It is beginning to really confuse people. Vegan food makes sense because it is food that vegans would eat but a vegan diet only makes sense in the context of the daily food vegans eat which abstains from the use of "All" animal products. You can't go 70 percent vegan. Even these UA-camrs and even Tim Schieff misuse the vegan term as a diet only. Good interview anyway, thanks for sharing.
I think the doctor knows the difference. Did he use the word "veganism"? People who don't consume animal products are following a vegan diet. Not sure why that's confusing.
marcus24000 it’s great that people reduce their meat and dairy intake. It’s a wonderful step forward, but let’s be clear on what veganism is, as defined? It’s not exploiting, or eating any animal, or it’s by products. So 70% not eating meat or dairy is great, but it isn’t vegan. Veganism is a purely ethical standpoint. It’s totally about the animals. What people get confused about, is a plant based diet, which vegans follow, but is not vegan in itself.
Great interview and whopping amounts of energy from this guy. The only thing that bugs me is when people say they're "90% vegan" or a "flexi-vegan". No! No! No! Yes, we should be glad that people are making changes and inspiring others, but you're either vegan or you're not. I'm referring the the part in the video about Beyonce at 16:35. If you're doing your best to cut animal products out of your life 100% of the time then you're vegan; however, if you're consuming animal products, whether it's 30% or just 5% of the time, and you CONSCIOUSLY know you're you're doing it even if there are other options, then you are not vegan. You cannot be 80% (etc.) vegan. It's like saying your jar is 80% sterile: it's not sterile.
That’s soooo true about the recovering faster after intense workouts. When I started dating my boyfriend we would go to the gym and I was juicing at the time. Every day he’d try to make me sore from the work out pushing me harder, heavier weights, the next day I’d be slightly sore (sometimes, sometimes not at all) and the second day be back to normal. He is a meat eater and was super fit but would push so hard that he was sometimes sore for days and I was out of shape. I told him it was all my plants, and now it’s confirmed!! Lol! Love the interview, thank you for all you do!
Love love LOVE his response to the fruit question. Tons of vegans are bashing fruit as unhealthy in the vegan diet but, as the good doctor said - the science is clear = the more fruit the better!
@@HiddenStr3ngth I do actually. I was raw frutarrian for 10 months and it was the single most healing experience of me life. After 6 weeks my labs had improved so much the charts all looked like the edge of a cliff where all the growing ailments had stopped & dropped! My doctor was terrified when I told her my diet. You see I was an uncontrollable diabetic. Maxed out on meds and still in the 400's daily but eating only fruits and greens I'd dropped my blood sugar over 200 points in one month with zero meds. That was only one of several improved labs. Long story short - that doctor, the one who spent 2 years talking me into eating meat after 10 years vegetarian (but that was devastating to my labs) - she now teaches a 12 week course on how to heal disease on a plant based diet. And she is thrilled when people load up on fruit. In our program, there are blood draws before,during and after the program. We don't "assume" anything about anything. We test test test... for each person! So, yeah, I'm a little biased.
No fruit is sugar and pancreas and other organ failures occur when on a fruitarian diet, Steve Jobs was on a frutarian diet and had pancreas failure and died
@@Roywex One guy that was a frutarrian for a brief part of his like got cancer and now you assume its bad for everyone. That's lame. I have blood tests that prove it can be extremely healthy. Maybe it's not good for a lifetime, I cannot attest to that but there are hundreds if examples of people eating a long term frutarrian diet and thriving. And just a little trivia for you - check out Dr. Walter Kempner and how he CURED kidney failure and diabetes with nothing but white rice, white sugar, and fruit. It will blow your mind! We think we know the truth but mostly we fall for popular propaganda instead of actual science.
Oh my bad I forgot the others that you can find I’m Sr3ge’s videos, and when people made a movie on Steve Jobs the actor actually when fruitatarn and immediately was hospitalized when his pancreas was on the brief of failure, so let that sink in...
The symphony analogy for eating well, good one. Great interview, this doctor gives very clear instructions. I like the more plants you eat the healthier you are message, easy to remember.
I don't eat out that much anymore. I just can't believe how often a restaurant will casually add grated cheese on top of a salad or a side dish of beans. It's like they treat it like a garnish or something. I really think that by now, especially in California (yuck!) restaurants should be aware to mention such things on their menu. I try to be as proactive as possible and often ask whether there is any cheese or butter in or on items, but it still happens. It just baffles me how cavalier people apparently feel about dairy..
The part on the soreness after working out is such a relief. I've been lifting weights on and off for around a month now and was worried I wasn't making any progress due to not being as sore as I usually would working out the same amount. Hell yeah for veganism!!
IMPORTANT: Hey guys, I eat ~95% plant based but still I just cannot believe how single sided vegan propaganda videos like this one are. It sounds like there is no doubt on anything, everything 100% vegan is the best. No, it's not. That's simply not true. Longest living populations (blue zones) all around the world DO NOT EAT 100% vegan (which was even stated in this video) and that is very important distinction. My experience - after approx. 1 year on 100% whole foods plant based vegan diet (healthy diet - mostly home made food, all organic, lots of legumes, leafy greens, broccoli, beets, onion, garlic, mushrooms, spinach, kale, soy, potatoes, rice, quinoa, flex seed, chia, hemp seed and plenty of fruits, no oils....) I started to experience pretty serious brain fog, practically stopped muscle growth (even loss at some point) and bad mood. And of course bloated most of the time. I was eating enough calories, enough protein enough micro and macro nutrients and I even gained a bit of weight which was unfortunately mostly fat. I was also supplementing B12 and from time to time vitamin D3+K2, and from time to time Magnesium+Calcium+Zinc+B6. The brain fog was the biggest concern for me as I need my brain 100% to do my work so I started incorporating DHA&EPA supplements and a bit later FISH to my diet - Salmon, Mackerel and Sardines. I also started eating like 1-2 eggs once a week and very small amounts of butter. (No dairy other than the butter). After just a few weeks I feel great, mood improved, brain fog went away and I started gaining a bit more muscle, lost a bit of fat and have enough power for all my sport activities (running) and I am getting much stronger (weightlifting). I think Creatine in the fish also made the difference, not just omega3s DHA&EPA. TL;DR - this is what I believe is optimal diet for most of people: WFPB+Fish, maybe some egg and butter here and there. 100% WFPB vegan didn't work for me. The decline is very slow so most people don't notice it until it's too late. I am very busy person and I rarely comment on anything but I felt like this is very important message for everybody who is trying to follow 100% vegan diet. Take it as a warning and keep yourself healthy. And don't feel bad if you start eating some animal product here and there. If everybody on the planet was eating 95% WFPB vegan diet, world would be much better place:) Peace out, take care.
Tom, I had the exact same experience. One full year WFPB devotee. Slowly got weaker until 12/30 could barely get out the door to run. Added a tiny bit of eggs from local chickens and shrimp or salmon. Feel like a million bucks. Glad it’s not just me.
Sounds a bit like earthling Ed interviewing Kip from what the health 😂 but seriously, thanks for this video! A plant based diet is truly magical for our health. 💚
i like this guy....simply becasue that is how i eat.... i would say if i have 7 breakfasts a week...all 7 are fully plant based. if i have 7 lunches a week i would say 5 of them are fully plant based...the other 2 have olive oil which is kinda bad if i have 7 dinners a week i would say 5 of them are fully plant based...the other 2 are maybe a piece of fish and plants or a curry and plants. and what is important ..i am happy with that.
It's coming soon. They kept on taking it back to the cutting floor. I think they added another interview too. They want it to be perfect before releasing it.
25:01 Um, no, that would be carrion-eating carnivores, not carnivores in general. Why is he expressing concerns for vegan athletes? Look at the YTer, Rich Roll, who's an ultra-endurance athlete, or Fiona Oakes, the vegan marathon runner who's run marathons on every continent and the North Pole, and set several records! Please, Doc, if you don't know, don't comment! Speculation makes you look bad.
Most vegans quit because the food doesn't taste good. My relative just gave up. He couldn't find a good cheese substitute. I've purchased vegan meals and vegan drinks, and they taste like someone poured sand in them. Why not go with something you get most of the benefit from and something you can stick with, vegetarian? Works very well for me, and most all of my physical health problems have gone away.
@@geoffmerritt Not for me. After I went "veggie" I noticed everything, especially vegetables started tasting much better. I would like to see long term results. But the little data I've seen says most people talk good but when they were contacted a short time later,, most had already gone back to eating meat.
@@geoffmerritt Absolutely! I love the same things you do, black coffee included. And I can't get over how everything works better physically. Plus it's easier to cook and prepare food. The Starch Solution was the ticket for me because I'm not a salad person. Best wishes.
i have started plant based diet 6 weeks ago i gel so tired all the time i don't feel like training any more. i take b12. Iodine. but still freaky tired. my stomach gets bloated a lot. i can't eat legumes or lentils they kill me i drink b lots of water not sure where to go from here.
Stick in there. Take the beans and legumes slowly and make sure you’re getting plenty of calories. Are you getting both cooked and live food. Potatoes, chickpea pasta, salads, roasted, raw, healthy dressings...? Watch Dr McDougall vids and his website is a wealth of knowledge and recipes. You also may be going through detox...
You need to introduce it slowly until your gut will get use to it....in the long run ,you'll live longer and healthier than people who eat lots of animal products
The funny thing about carnivore diets is that they are too high in protein to be ketogenic so their bodies are converting protein into glucose (same as in a cat). True ketogenic diets are super low protein by standard dietary standards. I guess the body really likes glucose and doesn't like ketosis
meals with fattier meat,too high protein would have go be more then a pound of your body weight which wouldn't happen on a keto diet,conversion of glucose is so small and lowered with fat do your homework sheep
Banished From The Dwarf Planet Yeah there are many reasons for that though, social pressure, not wanting to be made fun of 24/7, not being an ethical vegan, and people who can’t be bothered to check labels and don’t want to “miss out”
LunarWolf>> All those things you mentioned may be factors, but you didn't mention the most common reason of all. Failing health on a vegan diet. You can find hundreds of such cases right here on UA-cam, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. These vegans were eating a varied plant diet, were taking the proper supplements, didn't care what anyone thought about them eating a vegan diet, were ethical about animals, and yet STILL went back to eating animals foods. Their health failed. You can make all the excuses you want for them, but failing health is something that cannot be excused away.
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 there is a difference in "saying they ate a varied plant based diet and actually eat a plant based diet. I think many people underestimate the change you have to make in your diet and lifestyle to thrive on it.
G Robles-- What you are saying is that a vegan diet is extremely hard to follow and accept long-term for the average person. And that begs the question..."why is that?" The obvious answer is that it is not a natural human diet.
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 I disagree. It think it has more to do with the fact that we are accustomed to eating animal based food. I mean it's all around us and it's maid convenient for us. The more companies will pick up the plant based food group, the more convenient it will get. A simple matter of supply and demand.
Austin B I found some pb yogurt I like, kite hill especially. Also, chia seed pudding is nice and light plus has more nutritional benefit than yogurt. Chia seeds have fiber, protein, lower inflammation, good source of calcium and other vitamins. Really easy to make as well check google for recipes. Hope this helps, I’m a yogurt fan, but now I have Pb, chia seed pudding, oatmeal and fruit, breakfast smoothies etc.
The problem is not with meat per se, it's with sugar, refined carbs, bread, pasta, foods which drive up blood sugar. What is a plant-based diet? This term is bandied about yet no one ever defines it. I eat mostly vegetables but also fish and chicken. To me, this is a plant based diet and I think it is more healthy than a vegetarian or vegan diet. A typical dinner for me is steamed kale, collard greens, arugula, broccoli, red cabbage, broccoli sprouts, asparagus, mushrooms, tomato, red and orange peppers, often pumpkin, sometimes a little bit of purple sweet potato, with EVO or chick pea or black bean hummus, often some lentils. And some chicken or salmon.
at least you are smart enough to know what a vegetable is. its' a start. However, are you enjoying the estrogens you are eating in fish and chicken? moobs are often the result.
Hi kind people. I am quite new in this field. I was wondering if someone could kindly recommend a good cook book with not very complycated but tasty recipes , please?

The "I've been vegan for 20 years therefore it absolutely works for everyone" fallacy. Can't miss in a vegan comment section.
@I like Potatoes hens aren't even mammals, how would they have a period lol, eggs are just big cells.
When I first started my plant based diet I went from 80 kilo's to 70 kilo's in 6 weeks, it scared the hell out of me because I didn't want to lose weight beyond that point. So when I heard I just had to eat more, I did just that, I pretty much doubled my breakfast and stuffed myself full every meal. I got horrible bloating from it and the increase of fibre I got also didnt make me feel very good.
Eventually I found a balance where I didnt get bloated and even started gaining a small amount of weight again, but it really does make me understand that some people can get negative effects from going vegan/plant based. It just means your body didnt adapt yet, or that it is so different from what you used to do that you need to make some other changes.
That does not change the science on the topic though, it is a far more healthy diet than a meat eating diet.
Love the nuance in your comment. You don't see a lot of that these days.
The body can never adapt to fibre.
It is indigestible, it will always cause bloating
@@thedoc5848 apparently not for everyone...or at least not enough to matter.
@@thedoc5848 The body can never adapt to eating cadavers. It causes severe
constipation and putrefies (stinks) in the colon and bowels. The human body is designed to consume whole plant fibers which moves our bowels.
I love the bent meat eaters who troll here. Life. Get one. Desperate to find validation that their gross eating practices are ok.🙄
If your ancestors were vegans, guess what? You wouldn't be here because they would have died off from B12 DEFICIENCY.
Jeff Hall what do you mean?
Jeff Hall Not true. B12 is a microorganisms that lives in dirt and other areas. Our ancestors didn’t wash everything so that’s partly how they got their B12. That’s how the animals get it too, they still eat off the ground. But even meat eaters don’t often consume enough B12 because there isn’t an abundance in meat. Just an FYI.
Haters gonna hate, man.
Just keep being that peaceful, loving being you are who expresses themselves through truth and honesty and you WILL go far, my friend 💖💚💜🌿
@@gmnotyet THAT IS NONSENSE. ALL B12 IS CREATED BY BACTERIA PLANTS BEFORE MODERN AGRICULTURE CONTAINED B12 EVEN THE WATER THEY DRANK HAD B12 THE HUMAN BODY CAN MAKE B12.

My experience eating plant based food is that you are more even in blood sugar over time. Eating nuts (as snack and complement during and between meals) and beans makes you last at high energy level all day. Being 45 years old (now 46) it feels like reversing ones age by eating plant based food since the change of food intake.
I have been vegan and WFPB off and on for 30 years, everything from all raw, to macrobiotic, to WFPB, to no oil high starch, etc. I've learned what works for me and what doesn't. There really is bioindividuality based on many, many factors, and something that works at one point needs to change up when lifestyle, age, circumstances, etc, change. I'm almost 55 and started getting hot flashes about 4 years ago (still menstruating, but those can start before menses totally stops). Black cohosh helped for awhile, then stopped. Soy helped a LOT, then stopped. Then I started trying a high fat, low carb, mostly plant based diet, (eating some animal foods) and my hot flashes stopped. Didn't think much about that, was just glad they stopped. Then about 2 months ago I wanted to get as lean, fit and healthy as I possibly could, so went back to 100% WFPB, dropping wheat (mostly) because I'm really intolerant to it, more of a Furhman-esque dietstyle. Started dropping weight, and feeling amazing, BUT, hot flashes came raging on again. I'd noticed that when I'd go vegan again after a few days. So.....very reluctantly, and sadly, I've started eating some eggs and poultry again, and within 5 days, the hot flashes are going away. Don't know why this is but think it has to do with adrenal hormone production and sex hormones. I can not afford overpriced doctors and hormone replacement therapy, and wouldn't do that anyway. NOT EVERYONE IS THE EXACT SAME! Some people actually, for real, really do need some animal foods, even if only for a time. Not sure why all the plant based people are so religiously blind about that. But MOSTLY, or ALL WFPB is THE BEST, if someone can thrive on it.
Animal foods have some nutrients that plants don't have much or any of, and vice versa for plants. Carnivores say they don't need vitamin c because they don't eat carbs or that they get it from meat which is bs. They also say retinol is better than beta carotene when infact its more dangerous due to the lack of regulation in the body where as flavinoids have limited conversion and the more vitamin a you have the less you will make because they body smart. However veal liver is a very good source of b12. Only 12g for 100% dv b12 and retinol. Also vegans who don't supplement b12 riboflavin iodine and MAYBE dha epa are lost too. Balance
Do what works for you if you need a little meat eat it many vegans object to the way the animals are killed it is very cruel , wfbb eating is good
Methinks you are eating hoirmones of other animals and that affected yours'. Not necessarily a PLUS.
Dr. Ostfeld is great; he's not as well known as some of the other plant-based MD's, but he should be
Agreed
absolutely, very impressed with him!
He really does seem knowledgeable.
It's only a matter of time.
He's the next generation.
the doctors don't explain how people ferment plant sludge..
No amount of animal products are welcome in my system. No way no how. I went vegetarian (dairy & eggs) for a year, long ago... stopped after I felt weak... years later got really sick with sore throats... went fully vegan... 12 years later I’m still doing great. I know it’s because I never have any animal products. I appreciate I allowed myself to flow until I found my best life.
Love this video, 🙏 thank you for sharing Dr Ostfeld!
"Nutrition really is a symphony!" - LIKE!!!!!!!
Great interview! Dr Ostfeld is full of enthusiasm which is infectious! 👏👏
I went vegan 6 years ago. Got off my blood pressure meds. In fact, at 74 years old I'm not on any meds. Bloodwork is normal. But I went to the dentist today...and am so eased to note....healthy gums and teeth!
Not looking at the video, this dude definitely sounds exactly like Kip
🤣🤣🤣 he does!
Identical!!!
Vegan hivemind! lol
Great video. Wonderful interview. Klaus, you have the knack for interviewing amazing people in the health field!
I LOVE how humble you are in your videos!!!
You hear Kip, I hear John C. Reilly.
I'm 41 and in the best shape of my life eating a plant based diet.
People still love to hear good things about bad habits...we need think about the environment and the animals and stop worrying about whether we should eat meat every day...and we are fishing the oceans dry!!Wake up people!!
Klaus,
Great interview with a truly rational. pragmatic Doctor.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
13:38 Rich Roll (YTer) is an ultra-endurance vegan athlete, so I don't think Dr. Ostfeld need worry.
The diet of 84 year old, still actively weight training fitness expert, Clarence Bass comes to mind. For multiple decades, he has maintained a diet consisting overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) of plant based foods. He supplements his diet with occasional cheese, eggs, and modest servings of meat, within serving size recommendations (to which few Americans adhere) This diet has enabled him to retain a body fat composition and overall health profile that most 30 year old men would envy.
The music at the end - priceless! Plants for the win!!!
Dr Ostfeld is giving me Ross Geller vibes
YOU ATE. MY SANDWICH?!? 😆😂😂😂
Maybe a mix of him and Chandler
@@Cottagewitch_tn he's got a bit of that quirkyness, yeah lol
I love his "use the carrot not the stick" approach to people becoming vegan through a plant based approach. The more whole fruits & veggies the better!
Clearly he knows he's preaching to the choir. He doesn't even bother to answer the question about why some people may suffer on vegan diet but redirects you to "healthy examples of vegan diet."
He pulls the straw man fallacy out for the second question. Instead of speaking to the question of why some people feel better if eat a "little animal product" he talks about sugar & junk food.
The good doctor has a wonderful grasp of the value of a plant based vegan diet but when it comes to why vegans feel better after eating some animal products, he's very clear about the fact that... he just doesn't know.
It's great that so many doctors are finally getting the plant based message but with vegans falling ill on a long time nutrient rich vegan diet - we need more doctors looking into this... rewatching an inspirational movie isn't going to cut it.
Josie's Journey not if you can’t digest fruits and vegetables that well
@@IEEteammateMATT1 How we digest is a matter of bacteria in our gut biome. If you have a meat digesting gut biome and want to increase plants in the diet you will experience a period of discomfort while old bacteria is starved out and new starch eating bacteria increase. It's like a war in your gut. This is why those who drop all animal products and go wholly plant based feel so good so fast. It a quick biome change. But for those who continue to feed both sides of the war - the suffering can last a long time before the biome finds a peaceful balance.
Everyone can develop a biome that makes fiber a breeze to process.
Josie's Journey bacteria isn’t as important to digest meat than it is for fiber. We can’t actually digest fiber only bacteria digests fiber for us
Five year vegan. I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar and oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flourless bread, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
Excellent video & interview. Those who have tried being on a vegan whole plants foods lifestyle but fail have done questionable practices such as drinking their urine, fasting for long periods of time and low carbohydrate and high fat diet and restricted their calories and not taking medication and medical advice on their health issues.
Since the pandemic started, I’ve been vegan and I honestly feel so much better, more energy and happier.
cause you been eating shit food anyways... Eat raw grassfed and wild animals(game).
so are you still vegan or did you figure out you have been lied to? yet
@@KingNuich I've eaten plenty of grassfed pasture raised organic beef(80/20) and I don't necessarily feel better at all. I don't even know at this point.
@@punker4Real Carnivores have no logical answers except veganism being low in iodine and riboflavin and zinc. Everything else can easily be taken care of without supplements(if you get enough ala and balance it in a 1:1 to 2.3:1 omega 6 to 3 ratio you shouldn't need to supplement dha and epa at least for the majority of people 5.65g ala to 12.99g la) , and carnivores and omnivores also supplement.
@@punker4Real Excess retinol is toxic and you can easily get it vitamin a as a prodrug from beta carotene and other certain flavinoids. Vitamin c is essential and carnivores and some omnivores are lacking in it. 200g fresh broccoli steamed for 15 minutes has 120-180mg vitamin c and 100-200mg a day is optimal for maximum intracellular levels with no increase in oxalates or uric acid in urine(they start to increase around 400mg as well as ascorbic acid elimination which suggests excess is being excreted as well as metabolized into oxalate and other things).
Excellent interview! Thank you.

@@thickboy1737 I had diabetes, and was put on a plant based diet by my dietician during pregnancy. Also, My Dad had a stroke, and is recovering quickly off a plant based diet. How long were you vegan for before you failed your diet? I will have been vegan for 12 years this Summer. I've never been healthier. I am the same size I was at 18, only now I dont get anemic between meals. My kids developed fine in utero, and are totally fine 10 years later, as vegans. You obviously werent getting necessary nutrients, or werent getting enough calories.
LOVE the ending with the symphony in the background. Great video and interview, liked and subscribed!
I think a lot of ex-vegans experience metabolic damage from the fasting or the restrictive diets they followed.
I would've never fasted as a vegan, i always felt hungry. Nor was my diet restricted. The diet still failed me.
I fast every three months, it's just my thing. I go back to eating just plants and I feel great! I can see how people easily restrict calories, which resticts nutrients ultimately. I eat so much more in portion sizes than the meat eaters that I know. They wonder where I put it all...
@@thickboy1737 It took me 2 years to find the right balance of foods for me and my body, now its sweet.
(Being a vegan I wasn't going to give up anyway lol 🤷)
@@thickboy1737 you mean your diet failed? what was your calorie intake? what foods were you eating? did you have gut / bowel problems? the 2500 kcal guideline is based on self-reports and often people underreport their food intake. Data is more in line with men needing a minimum of 3,000 kcals. I find a lot of vegans eat less than that though because they want to stay skinny or whatever. It can be difficult to get all the nutrients without eating a lot.. but I really think calories are most important. I see too many people going on lower calorie intakes failing to thrive after a few years.
Vegan diet is restrictive by definition . You need to exclude all animal food sources .
Eloquent and effective
If I lived in The Bronx, I'd make him my cardiologist in a plant based heartbeat.
I wish people watch this video. It answers some nuanced questions greatly. I never want to be a radical vegan, bc that doesn't help anyone, and I want people to be able to learn and take action, not get defensive and avoid it. And I find that only through science, can you truly touch someone, bc everyone values knowledge, not everyone can be touched by the ethical aspects immediately, but science, that's the biggest advantage that you can have in an argument , cause it is so hard to disprove. Bc it is the closest thing to the truth we humans can reach. Experimentation, theorizing, clinical trials that aren't always funded by biased groups, those things are valuable and necessary to change the way a person thinks.
You wish people would watch this video.
Mike Tyson is Vegan
Simon Naylor. You can't be vegan if you abuse animals. Say he's plant-based. Veganism is about animal rights, not a diet.
I agree with you. I wasn't aware he was doing anything to abuse animals still, but it makes more sense that he is probably plant-based.
Not anymore

The only difference between somebody who does great on a whole food plant based lifestyle and one who gets worse is their microbiome.
Is "hole food" eating food with holes in it?
Joe Z Sorry I made a typo.
@@gSWG3R Yes but a lot of people even if they eat as much fiber rich food as they can their microbiome never bounces back because of a huge problem we are all facing with our environment. I do agree that the diet of humans is a vegan one, but there is a vegan killer that nobody is talking about. PLEASE look at the full Dr. Zach Bush presentation ua-cam.com/video/O1aD5NpTLXY/v-deo.html on the microbiome and you'll soon understand what is happening to all of these ex vegans and to all of your surrounding meat eater friends.
@@christianwilliams1136 it's not that it never bounces back, it just encourages negative bacteria, you could make it through the slump, or eat hypoallergenic foods, and other foods like greens to readjust it. Taking baking soda can change your metabolic profile and help... so you are right, but maybe not as informative as you can be by implicating the microbiome..
It's still important to do the things that encourage a healthy microbiome. And there's also tests ($200) from Viome.com that can really show you what's going on.. I would recommend following the tips to heal or stabilize your microbiome and if problems still persist, get your biome tested
@@gSWG3R Yes he sells a redox supplement. But look at the full presentation and you'll see that this is not a quak. He was even featured in one of Rich Roll podcast.
very nice explanations by dr.
Fantastic and educational interview. A plant-based nutrition is a good long term decision for your life. You contribute to the environment and improve your health at the same time.
My appetite naturally averages around 3000 kcal, and more when activity increases. After I did the fast in 2014, my appetite was 5000-7000 kcal for many months.
I love that I can hear his clothes rustle bc he passionately moves around
It's all the sugar he eats
I think this doctor is confusing plant-based with Veganism. Vegan is in regards to animal advocacy. I think this is becoming a misuse of the word. Veganism is not a diet. I think we really need to distinguish the two. It is beginning to really confuse people. Vegan food makes sense because it is food that vegans would eat but a vegan diet only makes sense in the context of the daily food vegans eat which abstains from the use of "All" animal products. You can't go 70 percent vegan. Even these UA-camrs and even Tim Schieff misuse the vegan term as a diet only. Good interview anyway, thanks for sharing.
Exactly! ❤️
💯👏 👏👏 👏
Tired of people who aren't vegan calling themselves vegan.
ASMRyouVEGANyet? And then trying to justify their diet? If they can happily promote the death of animals, they were never vegan
I think the doctor knows the difference. Did he use the word "veganism"? People who don't consume animal products are following a vegan diet. Not sure why that's confusing.
marcus24000 it’s great that people reduce their meat and dairy intake. It’s a wonderful step forward, but let’s be clear on what veganism is, as defined? It’s not exploiting, or eating any animal, or it’s by products. So 70% not eating meat or dairy is great, but it isn’t vegan. Veganism is a purely ethical standpoint. It’s totally about the animals. What people get confused about, is a plant based diet, which vegans follow, but is not vegan in itself.
great to see Dr Ostfeld featured!
thanks for another quality video.
Great interview and whopping amounts of energy from this guy.
The only thing that bugs me is when people say they're "90% vegan" or a "flexi-vegan". No! No! No! Yes, we should be glad that people are making changes and inspiring others, but you're either vegan or you're not. I'm referring the the part in the video about Beyonce at 16:35. If you're doing your best to cut animal products out of your life 100% of the time then you're vegan; however, if you're consuming animal products, whether it's 30% or just 5% of the time, and you CONSCIOUSLY know you're you're doing it even if there are other options, then you are not vegan. You cannot be 80% (etc.) vegan. It's like saying your jar is 80% sterile: it's not sterile.
Veganism is a lifestyle; plant based is a diet.
@@henryg3313 That doesn't even make any sense. 😂

Great interview!
That’s soooo true about the recovering faster after intense workouts. When I started dating my boyfriend we would go to the gym and I was juicing at the time. Every day he’d try to make me sore from the work out pushing me harder, heavier weights, the next day I’d be slightly sore (sometimes, sometimes not at all) and the second day be back to normal. He is a meat eater and was super fit but would push so hard that he was sometimes sore for days and I was out of shape. I told him it was all my plants, and now it’s confirmed!! Lol! Love the interview, thank you for all you do!
awesome interview - great work - !
Love love LOVE his response to the fruit question. Tons of vegans are bashing fruit as unhealthy in the vegan diet but, as the good doctor said - the science is clear = the more fruit the better!
People are "bashing" 100% raw fruit diet, not fruit in general.
You clearly have some significant bias though haha
@@HiddenStr3ngth I do actually. I was raw frutarrian for 10 months and it was the single most healing experience of me life. After 6 weeks my labs had improved so much the charts all looked like the edge of a cliff where all the growing ailments had stopped & dropped!
My doctor was terrified when I told her my diet. You see I was an uncontrollable diabetic. Maxed out on meds and still in the 400's daily but eating only fruits and greens I'd dropped my blood sugar over 200 points in one month with zero meds.
That was only one of several improved labs. Long story short - that doctor, the one who spent 2 years talking me into eating meat after 10 years vegetarian (but that was devastating to my labs) - she now teaches a 12 week course on how to heal disease on a plant based diet. And she is thrilled when people load up on fruit. In our program, there are blood draws before,during and after the program. We don't "assume" anything about anything. We test test test... for each person!
So, yeah, I'm a little biased.
No fruit is sugar and pancreas and other organ failures occur when on a fruitarian diet, Steve Jobs was on a frutarian diet and had pancreas failure and died
@@Roywex One guy that was a frutarrian for a brief part of his like got cancer and now you assume its bad for everyone. That's lame. I have blood tests that prove it can be extremely healthy. Maybe it's not good for a lifetime, I cannot attest to that but there are hundreds if examples of people eating a long term frutarrian diet and thriving.
And just a little trivia for you - check out Dr. Walter Kempner and how he CURED kidney failure and diabetes with nothing but white rice, white sugar, and fruit. It will blow your mind!
We think we know the truth but mostly we fall for popular propaganda instead of actual science.
Oh my bad I forgot the others that you can find I’m Sr3ge’s videos, and when people made a movie on Steve Jobs the actor actually when fruitatarn and immediately was hospitalized when his pancreas was on the brief of failure, so let that sink in...

@@veganryori I am disabled and I thought it was a great joke, laughed out loud.
7:10 I don't think most of these guys are just introducing 10% animal products, they go all out
I don't eat out that much anymore. I just can't believe how often a restaurant will casually add grated cheese on top of a salad or a side dish of beans. It's like they treat it like a garnish or something. I really think that by now, especially in California (yuck!) restaurants should be aware to mention such things on their menu. I try to be as proactive as possible and often ask whether there is any cheese or butter in or on items, but it still happens. It just baffles me how cavalier people apparently feel about dairy..
This guy really has a great charisma
The part on the soreness after working out is such a relief. I've been lifting weights on and off for around a month now and was worried I wasn't making any progress due to not being as sore as I usually would working out the same amount. Hell yeah for veganism!!
IMPORTANT: Hey guys, I eat ~95% plant based but still I just cannot believe how single sided vegan propaganda videos like this one are. It sounds like there is no doubt on anything, everything 100% vegan is the best. No, it's not. That's simply not true. Longest living populations (blue zones) all around the world DO NOT EAT 100% vegan (which was even stated in this video) and that is very important distinction. My experience - after approx. 1 year on 100% whole foods plant based vegan diet (healthy diet - mostly home made food, all organic, lots of legumes, leafy greens, broccoli, beets, onion, garlic, mushrooms, spinach, kale, soy, potatoes, rice, quinoa, flex seed, chia, hemp seed and plenty of fruits, no oils....) I started to experience pretty serious brain fog, practically stopped muscle growth (even loss at some point) and bad mood. And of course bloated most of the time. I was eating enough calories, enough protein enough micro and macro nutrients and I even gained a bit of weight which was unfortunately mostly fat. I was also supplementing B12 and from time to time vitamin D3+K2, and from time to time Magnesium+Calcium+Zinc+B6. The brain fog was the biggest concern for me as I need my brain 100% to do my work so I started incorporating DHA&EPA supplements and a bit later FISH to my diet - Salmon, Mackerel and Sardines. I also started eating like 1-2 eggs once a week and very small amounts of butter. (No dairy other than the butter). After just a few weeks I feel great, mood improved, brain fog went away and I started gaining a bit more muscle, lost a bit of fat and have enough power for all my sport activities (running) and I am getting much stronger (weightlifting). I think Creatine in the fish also made the difference, not just omega3s DHA&EPA. TL;DR - this is what I believe is optimal diet for most of people: WFPB+Fish, maybe some egg and butter here and there. 100% WFPB vegan didn't work for me. The decline is very slow so most people don't notice it until it's too late. I am very busy person and I rarely comment on anything but I felt like this is very important message for everybody who is trying to follow 100% vegan diet. Take it as a warning and keep yourself healthy. And don't feel bad if you start eating some animal product here and there. If everybody on the planet was eating 95% WFPB vegan diet, world would be much better place:) Peace out, take care.
Tomas Jelinek I think supplementing can throw the body out of whack..the body wants food ...not random supplements
Tom, I had the exact same experience. One full year WFPB devotee. Slowly got weaker until 12/30 could barely get out the door to run. Added a tiny bit of eggs from local chickens and shrimp or salmon. Feel like a million bucks. Glad it’s not just me.
Cassie Cataline it’s been a yr how are you feeling now?? Are you on the same diet?
Sounds a bit like earthling Ed interviewing Kip from what the health 😂 but seriously, thanks for this video! A plant based diet is truly magical for our health. 💚
i like this guy....simply becasue that is how i eat....
i would say if i have 7 breakfasts a week...all 7 are fully plant based.
if i have 7 lunches a week i would say 5 of them are fully plant based...the other 2 have olive oil which is kinda bad
if i have 7 dinners a week i would say 5 of them are fully plant based...the other 2 are maybe a piece of fish and plants or a curry and plants.
and what is important ..i am happy with that.

Please, Doc, if you don't know, don't comment! Speculation makes you look bad.
Apricots are excellent
Most vegans quit because the food doesn't taste good. My relative just gave up. He couldn't find a good cheese substitute. I've purchased vegan meals and vegan drinks, and they taste like someone poured sand in them. Why not go with something you get most of the benefit from and something you can stick with, vegetarian? Works very well for me, and most all of my physical health problems have gone away.
@@geoffmerritt Not for me. After I went "veggie" I noticed everything, especially vegetables started tasting much better. I would like to see long term results. But the little data I've seen says most people talk good but when they were contacted a short time later,, most had already gone back to eating meat.
@@geoffmerritt Absolutely! I love the same things you do, black coffee included. And I can't get over how everything works better physically. Plus it's easier to cook and prepare food. The Starch Solution was the ticket for me because I'm not a salad person. Best wishes.

i have started plant based diet 6 weeks ago i gel so tired all the time i don't feel like training any more. i take b12. Iodine. but still freaky tired. my stomach gets bloated a lot. i can't eat legumes or lentils they kill me i drink b lots of water not sure where to go from here.
Stick in there. Take the beans and legumes slowly and make sure you’re getting plenty of calories. Are you getting both cooked and live food. Potatoes, chickpea pasta, salads, roasted, raw, healthy dressings...? Watch Dr McDougall vids and his website is a wealth of knowledge and recipes. You also may be going through detox...
You need to introduce it slowly until your gut will get use to it....in the long run ,you'll live longer and healthier than people who eat lots of animal products
Does anyone know when game changers will be released?
He does sound like Kip! Freaky. It’s a nice voice.
NFI sounds like it might work for those folks who need their plant-based diets tweaked to fix their particular issues.
The funny thing about carnivore diets is that they are too high in protein to be ketogenic so their bodies are converting protein into glucose (same as in a cat). True ketogenic diets are super low protein by standard dietary standards. I guess the body really likes glucose and doesn't like ketosis
meals with fattier meat,too high protein would have go be more then a pound of your body weight which wouldn't happen on a keto diet,conversion of glucose is so small and lowered with fat do your homework sheep
Very good, thank you! :)
Sounds exactly like Kip Anderson!
Isn’t the attrition rate for veganism around 80%? Doesn’t seem like it’s the way to go if people can’t stand your diet
"Just an anecdote." But what he fails to mention is there are THOUSANDS of anecdotes of vegans going back to meat. That is significant.
Banished From The Dwarf Planet Yeah there are many reasons for that though, social pressure, not wanting to be made fun of 24/7, not being an ethical vegan, and people who can’t be bothered to check labels and don’t want to “miss out”
LunarWolf>> All those things you mentioned may be factors, but you didn't mention the most common reason of all. Failing health on a vegan diet. You can find hundreds of such cases right here on UA-cam, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. These vegans were eating a varied plant diet, were taking the proper supplements, didn't care what anyone thought about them eating a vegan diet, were ethical about animals, and yet STILL went back to eating animals foods. Their health failed. You can make all the excuses you want for them, but failing health is something that cannot be excused away.
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 there is a difference in "saying they ate a varied plant based diet and actually eat a plant based diet. I think many people underestimate the change you have to make in your diet and lifestyle to thrive on it.
G Robles-- What you are saying is that a vegan diet is extremely hard to follow and accept long-term for the average person. And that begs the question..."why is that?" The obvious answer is that it is not a natural human diet.
@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 I disagree. It think it has more to do with the fact that we are accustomed to eating animal based food. I mean it's all around us and it's maid convenient for us. The more companies will pick up the plant based food group, the more convenient it will get. A simple matter of supply and demand.
Having such a hard time giving up ghee and plain yogurt. Coconut oil just doesn’t cut it! I need help
Austin B I found some pb yogurt I like, kite hill especially. Also, chia seed pudding is nice and light plus has more nutritional benefit than yogurt. Chia seeds have fiber, protein, lower inflammation, good source of calcium and other vitamins. Really easy to make as well check google for recipes. Hope this helps, I’m a yogurt fan, but now I have Pb, chia seed pudding, oatmeal and fruit, breakfast smoothies etc.
Dope
This guy is so chill, love it! :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he *does* sound like Kip!
He does tho.
Despite the two gaffs, it was a really good video.
The problem is not with meat per se, it's with sugar, refined carbs, bread, pasta, foods which drive up blood sugar. What is a plant-based diet? This term is bandied about yet no one ever defines it. I eat mostly vegetables but also fish and chicken. To me, this is a plant based diet and I think it is more healthy than a vegetarian or vegan diet. A typical dinner for me is steamed kale, collard greens, arugula, broccoli, red cabbage, broccoli sprouts, asparagus, mushrooms, tomato, red and orange peppers, often pumpkin, sometimes a little bit of purple sweet potato, with EVO or chick pea or black bean hummus, often some lentils. And some chicken or salmon.
The problem is 100% meat.
Don't let your tastebuds get in the way of clear thinking
at least you are smart enough to know what a vegetable is. its' a start. However, are you
enjoying the estrogens you are eating in fish and chicken? moobs are often the result.
Hi kind people. I am quite new in this field. I was wondering if someone could kindly recommend a good cook book with not very complycated but tasty recipes , please?
Dr John McDougal. Go to his website and there are lots of recipes. His entire website and recipes are free of charge. Then google Jeff Novick's 10 vegan recipes. His stuff is delicious and fast to make. Ann Esselstyn does great recipes on UA-cam. Chef AJ's youtube videos are very inspirational too. Loads of free resources. Only buy a book if you want to.
