      I've also just quit long term vegan/vegetarian lifestyle (total 44 years).
      It's absolute poison, especially these vegan fake meats. That was my turning point, actually becoming very unwell on all these ultra processed vegan lookalike chicken nuggets, hot dogs, etc.
      I'd never bothered to look at the ingredients lists on the back of these products before - since I assumed (rather naively) that any company that has the planet in mind also has my health in mind.
      Ha!
      Nearly everything they make seems to involve starches, vegetable oils, sugar derivatives, wheat derivatives, and a whole chemistry set thrown in for good measure.
      The more it resembles meat - the less it relates to food.
      Now that I'm an omnivore again, the improvement in my health is staggering. I'm seeing changes in attitudes too, and in those of my husband and son too.
      I still have some physical health issues, nothing like I had before, but these might be permanent. Can't expect to abuse my health for 44 years and get away with it.

      The vegan organizations ruined everything and are a problem. They pressured a lot of fast food chains and even restaurants to switch to seed oils. Once they found out it was bad they never apologized or asked the companies to change back. The damage was already done. McDonalds was the last to change until one of their managers gave into the pressure because it was cheaper to use in the end. Hence why McDonald fries don't taste quite the same as they remember and they have to mimic the flavors they naturally had cooking the fries in Lard.

Ancel Keys theories and scientific studies won in the end. Backed by global government without even questioning it.

    They are super demented frail and angry. It’s wild to see the difference. I have to cook for them and they eat a brand of fake meat called Loma Linda. I want to barf every time I have to make them this product. The smell is unlike anything I’ve ever smelt. They talk about how bad meat and animal food is. They brag about how it’s kept them healthy and cancer free.

For years I've had chronic depression and insomnia coupled with hip/shoulder joints that would hurt if I lay on them for more than a few minutes so I'd turn more times an hour than a rotisserie chicken. A few weeks into carnivore and I noticed the joints were no longer hurting when I lay on them and my mind is so relaxed I can fall asleep pretty damn quick and wake feeling refreshed. The depression is also vastly diminished.... yes... shit still pisses me off but not as much as they used to and I no longer brood and ruminate on stuff on the helter skelter slide into despair.

    This makes me wonder if high reward foods like sugar and fast food trip our brain's reward system so incredibly often that we end up wearing that part of the brain down (habituating), and that's why mental health issues get worse on the standard American diet.
    I started cycling keto and low carb, and intermittent fasting, over a year ago and my brain is extremely different. I used to have a lot of trouble with my mental health. I was even inpatient for a while. It was really severe.
    Changing my diet is the ONLY thing that has worked and KEEPS working. I focus on whole foods and I think that's the key. It may not matter so much what kind of diet you try as long as the food is identifiable as a real food. It's self-limiting for me now because each time I cheat on my diet, the feeling of impending doom returns.

    Any vegan/vegetarian i personally know has mental health abnormalities, anxiety, depression, adhd, etc. And they usually end up eating processed vegetarian foods and other shit, and the emphasis on whole foods is minimal. I wouldn't say I'm perfect mentally as i think i may be on the spectrum and definitely have my ups and downs, but I definitely would consider myself more resilient. Lately I've been eating a similar diet to what you described for yourself, higher protein and fat from beef and chicken, some whole wheat flour, and some frozen fruit daily, then some of whatever my wife makes sometimes and occasionally eating out, and i can tell a huge difference in how i feel in general and then how certain foods will affect me, especially if i eat anything fried. I also have a ton of energy when i get up in the morning, before getting any caffeine. I try not to really restrict myself but I also never really run into a problem of craving anything, and most of the time i could go for just not eating even if I'm hungry.

      Hi there. Vegan here with no mental issues, physical issues, allergies etc. vegan for 5 years. On the contrary I know way more people who eat meat and dairy with health and mental problems.
      I work out at least 3 times a week by lifting weights and I recall clearly that after switching to a plant based diet my energy levels vastly improved, my skin became better and I became overall stronger and healthier :)

    Thank you, Mike! 5:50 "Carninutrients" was a new term for me! I've been hearing people talk about beef being a "Mult-vitamin" (Dr. Shawn Baker, Thomas DeLauer, and others) for a few years now. Animal protein has been written off as garbage by Polite Society for 40+ years but as we all wake up to processed food being the REAL poison, it's refreshing to see these new studies giving us confidence in what direction to go as we collectively wake up from the processed food hangover.

    Had my period back after 5 months of absence (coincidental with the vegan starting), chronic illnesses dialled down. So i think my body feels safe now that it has the nutrition it needs in more readily absorbed form.

I left my job and it kept getting worse, at one point I went back on meat and would meal prep one soup that had a lot of meat with fat and I bounced back in two months, this without knowing the extent at which food influenced our health, then I came upon all these channels and it all made sense, I leveraged my diet and 2 months after that I would say I reached my highest mental wellbeing so far.

Interestingly before I was vegan, my diet was very animal product based, meat, eggs & cheese & I suffered years of severe mental health issues, including chronic depression, anxiety & OCD. However after I went vegan & am now WFPB, my mental health issues totally disappeared, along with the heart disease (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure & type 2 diabetes I was suffering from.

    13:07 What a shock! A balanced diet of plants and meat is best. We are omnivores. I’m sure the carnivore crazies don’t want to hear this.

      Why did you leave out the vegan crazies?!?

      Carnivores don’t care. Only vegans are crazy. I eat my meat, eggs and fish and don’t care what others do

      You'll probably find that vegans/vegetarians are A LOT crazier than the carnivores 😆

      And also the study didn't include a carnivore diet so you don't know, it may or even been better. The all round diet could of only been better than the veg because they have meat in their diet

    Yay! I'm in UK Biobank, have been since the start. Great to think my humble real food and lifestyle health recovery is getting fed into studies 😊

    It’s funny that you had to include a disclaimer for the vegan/vegetarian crazies
