Doctor Mike Goes VEGAN For 30 Days | Here's How My Body Reacted...

- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Thirty days of going vegan is in the books and I have to say this one was a bit more difficult than keto for me as it took me out of my comfort zone. This Vegan 30 day challenge certainly surprised me in several ways and at the end of the day, I think it is a reasonable diet to follow as long as it's planned adequately.
If you have an idea of something you want me to cover in depth, please let me know because I take your requests seriously. We will be back with more Doctor Reacts Series & Responding to Comments so please submit more names of shows/episodes & questions you'd like for me to watch. Love you all!

-Says veganism can be very healthy as long as you do it right
-Proceeds to eat all processed vegan food and vegan replacements
Well... when you switch vegan this is the easiest way.
@@azarilh2355 not really. You can buy replacements for when you're craving the things you ate before, but the easiest way to go vegan is to eat whole foods. Because then your bank account isnt suffering and neither is your body
@@rmatt816 I mean: processed vegan food taste more like what they ate afore, which means the new diet is less alien for them. Also they're usually kinda cheap; and they'll not hurt their bodies more than afore if they were already eating processed food, so health-vise is probably not much different, but it's a good start to switch to a better vegan diet when they're ready.
I have a GI disease and in my experience, processed foods are the wooorst to digest. All the gas and GI upset he had was likely, IMO, from that.
@@emimonsterlicious In my experience, is not the worst, not even close.
The gas problem is due to sudden too much intake of fibers.
As an Indian I actually find it interesting that a lot of people struggle with vegan diets considering that Indian cuisine is mostly vegan plus ther are a LOT of options There is a dish for almost every vegetable!
As an Indian living in Canada with many Vegan friends, I'd say that they honestly don't have much options that are healthy other than salads and stuff. I've introduced many to Indian cuisine and many have made it a part of their diet too, but most people are honestly unaware of the options available to them.
@@binaryskeptic5988 Also Western Idea of vegan means no dairy, while we get most of the protein from milk based items apart from pulses and beans
@@thunderbird4712 Yes but replacing milk with vegan milk is easy. I personally use oat milk myself which has fortified protein. Peanut butter is a great source of protein although has a lot of fat too. I like to put it in my smoothies. Most of the paneer dishes can be replaced with tofu as well. I use a lot of hemp seeds in my cooking too as they're a good source of protein. Need to get creative for sure.
This is why I'm an American eating primarily Indian food! It's delicious and cruelty free!
Not Indian but love Indian food. Being able to cook a lot of different cuisines opens up a veg diet a lot, whether it’s pho, curries, tacos, ramen, couscous dishes and so on. Having a wide variety of spices and knowing how to use them helps so much!
Does anyone else find it adorable that a Doctor feels self concious about his own gas but probably tells his patience and viewers it normal and not to feel uncomftorable about it lol
It's the cutest... but it's so relatable
Gas on a vegan diet is so not true. Maybe it was his choices or his body was not used to it.
@@truthalonetriumphs6572 the thing is that eating a lot of beans and stuff only causes gas if youre not used to it (your body needs time to adjust to digest it most optimally)
@@mariushager9983 vegan is not just beans ... it need not even be 1%

Doctor Mike it could be great!
I’m an Eagle Scout and I did all the first aid training they’d offer me.
I’m shocked to see how much ‘common sense’ first aid the average person doesn’t know
One thing about the vegan diet is it has taught me to appreciate veggies a lot more. I grew up with steamed brocolli and potatos as the usual veggies. No seasoning or anything. Now i know how to make veggies taste good, and they’re amongst my favorite things to eat. Just gotta learn to cook.
I grew up with the opposite 😭 my mother over seasons all veggies she thinks corn isn’t sweet enough so she literally adds sugar to it. still having a hard time eating healthy veggies cus they just don’t taste good. Salt pepper and garlic powder works most time but still not all the way there😅
We have to cook, Jesse
We have to cook... PLANTS! 🌱
brother that's with everything. seasoning makes everything taste better. it also makes everything be worst for your health. if you wanna be healthy most diets work if you reduce the seasoning of things.
@@paulogaspar8295 Why would seasoning be bad for your health? Thats some none sense if i ever heard one
I was vegetarian and I switched to vegan(99% plant based food) almost a month now and my body thanking me a million times to rid off all dairy foods in my diet. I don't starve myself anymore and I eat lots of fruits and all varieties of grains, beanst and veges ..
So good , really so good.. I feel light and so much energy.. Thanks God my 1st time in my life I feel healthy..
I was doing clean keto diet but it didn't last longer , I felt sick and dizzy always..
Same! I feel way better
Right, I've been vegan for decades now, and I don't have a problem with gas or any of these things. It's honestly perplexing to me.
It is hilarious to watch a doctor be embarrassed about farting. 😂
It is! since the doctor himself know that it is natural but unethical XD
@@Dominus_Potatus ITS HELLA CUTEHAHAHA
Makes him so much cuter and endearing.
@sheldon pereira not that he's embarrassed more like that's he's human like us.
I think it's so amazing that he touched on the mental fatigue of thinking about food all the time. I totally understand how he felt.
*laughing in ed*
But that is only because it is new to him. Like any other diet people actually only have a dozen meal rotations that they do generally speaking and they might have a couple of seasonal adjustments. Once you are in your groove of any diet and you are running on autopilot then that all disappears.
wow
@@mariajoy4541 this is meant in general.. not just being vegan. We live in a time of fast and easy and trying make any changes to your diet, especially extreme ones can be mental fatiguing to think about. Especially if you are constantly on the go and busy. Its not always easy to meal prep for every situation.
A good point! But any vegan will tell you it becomes second nature and a complete non-issue after a couple of months :)
I became vegetarian in 2nd grade after reading a book of food facts, which also included how hot dogs were made. I realized then that meat came from animals. My family didn't respect my choices AT ALL. I was excluded from family meals. They'd all sit at the table and eat while my little 7-year-old self was in the kitchen trying to cook for myself. Becoming vegetarian was a trial by fire. The entire world was against me but I stayed strong and eventually my family accepted it wasn't changing. Transitioning to veganism was harder for me because I thought it was something I could overcome through sheer willpower like becoming vegetarian. But Dr. Mike is right that planning is critical. The first two times I tried to become vegan overnight and I failed. The third time, I did transition overnight but I did it in tandem with research and planning out what I would do from there. And I've been happily vegan since 2019 :)
Got cured of PCOS with the herbal medicine from DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam whose channel was the primary convincing platform that made me use the herbs..😊
When you start following a vegan diet you will bloat and you know… but eventually your body will get used to bigger amount of fiber and and those things will go away. I’ve been vegan for 4 years now, and when i was on 2nd month i guess it stopped bothering me and i don’t experience it anymore🙂
You’re right! It takes time for your body to adjust to a new diet. Any kind of diet!
and i mostly eat non processed meat and im also fine and healthy. there is no correct diet unless you eat only processed junk with a ton of suger and other chemicals ofc
Thanks for contributing to not killing innocent animals get killed
The first hurdle of the abundance of gas is something that is totally difficult to prepare for! I was vegan for about 3 years. After the first few months, the gas subsided and even stopped smelling all that much after a year.
your on the suicide diet
I am not a doctor but I think your bloating and gas problem was because of too much fiber, this is a very common problem among beginner vegans.
Yeah that was definitely it. Usually goes away after 6 weeks, so he was so close lol
Fiber is indigestible to humans; it will never just "go away." It ferments because gut bacteria are eating away at it (humans literally CANNOT absorb fiber; the bacteria must eat it first) and they produce gas. All the vegans I've known have smelled bad lol.
Ya that's chris they meant the feeling
The average person doesn’t get anywhere near what they should in terms of their fibre intake, so if you decide to try a whole foods vegan diet, the trick is to increase your fibre intake very gradually (or apply the FODMAP principles which will reap similar results). Consistency is key with fibre. It will take a little while for your tummy to adjust - but it’s absolutely worth persevering. I used to get colds all the time, but since adopting a whole foods approach, I hardly ever get colds, and when I do, they’re over so much quicker. I credit all those immune boosting fruit and veggies, the spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic etc - and elimination of foods which tend to encourage production of mucus (dairy). If you need a home remedy to replace the Manuka honey, date syrup or maple syrup would be good and cheaper too.
100%. My body was not used to it at first but then it sorted itself out.
I have been a vegan for 27 years and I don't find it restrictive. It has actually opened my mind and my taste buds to a world of new ideas!
Same, 23 years here. -I don't plan my meals, I just eat what I feel like eating and it seems to work for me.
exactly, eating better than ever before
15 years for me with no problems at all.
Honestly I’m not vegan but good for you
@@Juice20626 good for the animals foremost
I’ve been vegan for nearly 2 years now. Great to hear that you tried it. My results found me actually eating MORE and felt a huge energy boost. I had some gas at first too, but it settled after about 2 months. Lol
btw the eating more thing is that most plants have less calories so you had more volume but im glad ythat youfeel great
Veganism cured my relationship with food. I fell for the “bro-science” of high protein, low carb, caloric deficit for many years and it messed my health up so bad. Most notably, as a woman, my reproductive health suffered immensely. When I went vegan, I reversed my endometriosis, had a happy and healthy pregnancy, periods don’t hurt whatsoever! AND I’m eating 2300+ calories a day without putting on a pound! I’ve been able to maintain my weight at a healthy BMI (at the lower end of a normal BMI). I’m never going back to eating animal products that’s for sure!
I assume the benefits of turning vegan vary from person to person? for me I don’t see any real benefit from not eating meat- I mean, it’s delicious and has protein, which I need since I lead a very active life
I’m just curious as to how there’s benefit, but it probably depends on the person; someone I know had opposite effects when they turned vegan and it sucked for them
@@vexarotof course it does. every one is different and we all descend from different ethnic backgrounds so food choices are different for us. personally i thrive off vegetable proteins. i keep that my main protein and eat white meat and fish on occasion. lots of people dont actually know how to go vegan and think it’s as simple as plucking out the chicken from your plates that’s probably why it sucked for your friend but if not it probably wasn’t meant for them
@@vexarotno animals are needlessly harmed.
9:25 - "If you want to disqualify my 4 week vegan challenge because I ate honey, so bee it." Pun intended? 🤔
Are you new here? All puns are intended
BlankCanvas88 I’ve been vegan for over three years and eat honey (not often but I do it)! Actually had a published article on it lol.
Natalie Handley technically honey does disqualify you from being vegan since it requires an animal to make.
I understand saying “I’m vegan except I eat honey” is confusing and annoying to describe to others so it’s easier to just say vegan and that would be 99% accurate but again you would be technically be wrong.
That being said why does it matter :)
@@nataliehandley329 if you eat honey how can you call yourself a vegan lmaooo it is literally an animal product
I don't understand why vegans are anti eggs and milk. Cows would die if they aren't milked regularly. Sure, there probably is some negativity in drinking milk from a different species, but aside from that, drinking milk does not harm cows. Honey is also a weird thing to be annoyed over.
I challenge you to go zero waste for 30 days😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you for the likes. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I did that growing up on my grandparents' ranch. Burned anything we couldn't recycle or otherwise get rid of. But that would be pretty hard for Dr Mike. lol
@@SmirkJerk that is so cool you did that but I do agree it would be hard for him to do that
I don’t think he can as he works in a hospital? 😅
@@Nick-zc6qu true but I would be fun to see him try to
Burning everything that isn't recyclable isn't really equivalent to zero waste. I know many farms do it so no fault to you or your family but in terms of the goals of zero waste, the environmental impact of burning is significantly worse than landfill/mulching. Simple way to think about it is if every landfill, instead of being big piles of dirt/debris is now a forever fire because all the trash is constantly being burned.
Vegan for 2+ years here.I totally understand these struggles. And I feel like because you probably transitioned overnight, it's normal that soo many stuff felt off. Ideal with be to start swapping animal products with vegan ones step by step and hopefully that would smooth the transition. :) And as for the meal prep - absoluetly true, and almost a necessity if you want to be sure that you are getting all the important nutrients and not undereating or eating junk food that messes with your body. Soo happy you tried it! Love your videos :)
I was gonna say, “Dang doc, you even look younger! Maybe I should try a vegan diet.” Then I saw this video was from 3 years ago 😂
Literally thinking the same thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Lol

Same😂
I literally laughed at Dr. Mike struggling with being able to talk about his gas. He talks about all kinds of stuff but gas is tripping him up.
Chris S it’s funny because I talk about gas and poop all day long with my patients. I guess online it’s different lol
i know as if it was so bad,,,,,gas is a good sign and going to poop is even better helloooooo and its all thanks to the fiber in plant based foods, not animals. thats why the digestive system works! with your fruits and veggies not from animals stuff.
@@palomeroantiguo6720 Yea, but most of us live among people. Vegan for 4 years, luckily my partner is too, and i have several vegetarian friends how tried several times, even for months, to stick to a vegan dieat, but gas was strait up untolerable. And i feel them. I have resorted to 2 days of soaking of my legumes (every dinner), slow cooking (with a first half to low temperature so to activate the naturally present phytase in the tegument), combu and vegetable included in the coocking, no salt till the and a no bicharbonate at all, and mixing it all up at the end. This is basically perfection. And yet, i still produce more gas than preferable. And i can only eat them for dinner, so i gas out while i sleep. And absoluteli not in the 6 hours before gym, since i still get bloated stomach.
Being vegan (and i'll stay such) I still see this as THE BIGGEST problem of the vegan diet, period.
This is basically 12 minutes of Mike having a crisis about being vegan lol
Milagros Elizalde lmaoooooo im surprised I felt like this would happen with keto
😂😂 exacto!
@@Diana-zl3ue the moment i read this he said "APPARENTLY IT'S NOT VEGAN" 😂😂

Pleaseee redo this challenge, but have consultations/entire meal planning from someone with not only expert knowledge in nutritional requirements who can adapt it for your needs - high calorie & protein but also someone who makes damn tasty vegan food.
And maybe less emphasis on the processed vegan products.
I have a daughter in law that is a strict vegan, we always let them pick the restaurant when we eat out together it is always excellent food. Doing it this way makes it easier for them and we are not stress out trying to figure where to eat to accommodate everyone. It has been a wonderful experience.

During my vegan year, my energy levels were through the roof and it felt like I had super powers compared to my usual self. I was working out diligently, rock climbing, cooking most of my meals, and excelling at everything, really.
I was whole food plant based for 25 years. I had a mental breakdown a year ago and went to see the doctor. I was deficient in many nutrients, iodine being extremely low. I began incorporating eggs and grass fed/A2/organic dairy, while still maintaining a high vegetable intake. It took a few months, but my numbers finally came back into normal range. I feel much better. Using conventional dairy makes me sick and mucousy, but as long as it is non-homogenized, light pastuerized, grass fed, A2 protein and organic, my body is thriving!

From my understanding, even as a doctor, NEVER try to diagnose yourself.
Dj Diamond Ender you can’t diagnose your self as a doctor since they could lie about something for a type of drug they want to use for abuse reason
I love the video, but as a vegan, a can assure that 1 month is nothing close to reality of being vegan, because the first month is the hardest. It gets so good later, you even forget you are vegan, or that animal products are an option. Personally, my energy level and gym lifts skyrocketed.
Until you deplete your body's nutrient stores & the deficiencies kick in.
Muscular like Zhanna D'Art, huh?
Fully support veganism in other aspects of my life (e.g. vegan skincare, clothing, etc.) but being nutrient-deficient since birth, the vegan diet just isn't for people like me. Absolutely love vegan recipes, though (sometimes they're even tastier than regular food).
@@capture_diaries Since animals are killed for their meat, you might as well use their inedible parts for other products (e.g. clothing & skin-care). Synthetic substitutes are worse for the environment.
@@lindymerry38 You didn't watch the video, did you? You do not loose any nutrients with a vegan diet if you do it correctly. Of course you have to adjust your recipes but that's it. And things like vegan protein powder have been on the market for years and it works just as well 🤷♂️
The gas doesn’t last! It’s mainly because your gut micro biome isn’t used to a vegan diet, it usually stops after a few months.
Decision fatigue also goes after a few mouths as it becomes second nature

Sorry young one, part of vegan is animal friendly, and those poor bees make that honey for the cold months. It stresses them out. And most people should know how important bees are to the eco system.
@@kevinisbell1867 honeybee is suffering not because of we take some honey, but because of monocrop agriculture. Pesticides and most of monocrops are not suitable for harvesting nectar! Think about it. But honey itself is pretty much vegan since it's just a plant nectar fermented by yeast and honeybee's stomach enzymes.
@@thewhite8uard I never thought of it that way with the pesticide. That probably is a bigger problem than people taking honey from them. And most honey is probably farmed and not from the wild. But in a way its still not vegan because even the farm processes are still cruelty to animals and its still an animal product. And its basically bee puke. And to tell you the truth honey to me has always had a slight taste of puke to it. I personally prefer maple syrup over honey as a sweetener.

But i live in a household w ppl that buy everything not vegan. So im just gonna wait until i move out so itll be easier to only have vegan foods in the house.
Hello! This is my first time ever commenting on a UA-cam video, but I had to reach out. I absolutely love that you did a video on this (although it seems I am 3 years late to this party). I have personally been a vegetarian for over 13 years and I definitely understand where you are coming from as far as both will power to do other things as well as your body adjusting with added flatulence. I can say from personal experience, both of those DO get better with time, and eventually it will be completely second nature so you are not putting in so much mental effort into your diet. I was a vegetarian for about 5 years before becoming vegan for a year and I experienced the same stomach problems making EACH transition. It was odd, but it did go away after a few weeks of getting readjusted. My diet is so much a part of me now I barely even think about it, so no extra energy is being used forcing myself to eat a certain way. Obviously you know what's best for your needs, and I am definitely not trying to convert anybody, but know IT DOES GET EASIER.
not easier to everyone, but for some it is
facts!
We all know that when you start any kind of diet that's when weddings, buffet, meetings, school trips, birthdays, pizza days all start
If u want one of those to happen just say ur going on a diet and BAM theyll happen insstantly

@Aniruddh Sharma Vegans do breastfeed; mother's milk is considered vegan...
Sunita Birwal 🤣🤣
@Aniruddh Sharma I'm not vegan, but mate, you should really do some basic research before calling anybody ridiculous. No vegans I ever heard of are against breastfeeding at all, where did you even get that? In fact, if anything, I heard of many vegans breastfeeding for longer than usual, until the baby weans off naturally or something, not sure what the proper terminology is. Anyway, longer than your average mom. And the reason why vegans stay away from dairy is the ethical issues, same as all other restrictions they have. Cows are mammals, so in order for a cow to produce milk she needs to get impregnated (artificially) and shortly after giving birth the calf is taken away and the milk she produces is taken. The calf is either taken to the veil industry, raised to repeat the mother's fate (if female) or just killed. Those cows also obviously live in shitty conditions, get impregnated as often as possible and have way shorter lifespans than they would naturally (because it's not profitable to let them live for long). Vegans don't think that is appropriate to treat animals like this, same as most "regular" people wouldn't like the idea of same thing happening to dogs/cats. I hope that was somewhat helpful!
Most people don't understand what vegan actually is.
It's not just vegetables, u can still eat pancakes, fries, 'meat', lasagne, chocolate, pasta whatever! Sometimes u just need other ingrediënts.
For pancakes you'll need to find a substitute for the eggs and milk, cause they're from animals.
And so on.
I love the nurse. “It’s healthier for you boo”.

I've been whole food plant based for 5 years. I experienced the gas and bloating for my first month and it sucked, I honestly almost went back but i'm glad I stuck it out. I recently came across a podcast with Rich Roll and Simon Hill were they discuss the issues of drastically increasing your fiber intake very quickly. There are a lot of research findings that indicate slowly going plant based or introducing fermented foods can help a lot!
I'm actually allergic to red meat, I come from a family that primarily ate red meat, so watching this video and recommending primarily plant, with some fish and chicken has been extremely helpful to me thank you.
are you still allergic to red meat ? cause you've benn missing out ribs in my opinion.

He's a doctor, his videos are mostly about nutrition. Zero waste wouldn't really fit with that.
@@GarnetsWeb you are probably right.. but i personally think it would be both interesting, and it can teach people about waste, how harmful it is to the environment and how harmful and unhealthy it really is to us in our daily life. Also because you can't eat a lot of things it can be interesting nutrition-wise (:
i like this idea
The thing with honey is that even though we don’t force bees to make it, it is their food and doesn’t belong to us. And of course, bees, like any other sentient creature, can be treated unethically. So generally, if a vegan is strict enough to avoid honey, that’s why.
In 2017, somebody challenged me to go vegan. I was brought up Ukrainian Canadian, one thing you'll see in all Ukrainian Canadian households where I live is that beef, chicken and pork are the life force, they gave their lives to feed us and we have them with every meal. But, regardless I went vegan and the most surprising thing happened during my last week on the treatment. One day, I woke up feeling light, not like I'd lost weight but my mind was bright, I was happy, chipper, and had energy stores galore. It was like I'd spent my entire life with a loaded hockey bag on my shoulders 24/7 and someone lifted it off.
Now, I didn't stay vegan, but I didn't regress far either. I went to vegetarianism where dairy is allowed, fish is allowed, and you can eat meat once a month and that's where I've been ever since. I still like beef and I love curried goat, but it's better saved for once a month.
For the bloating and gas, chai tea. Black chai tea is a good fix for any GI issues, it doesn't solve any of them but it pushes them to the background until you can deal with them.

I am late to the party but from my experience the first few weeks are the hardest because we all are so controlled by our habits. After this first couple weeks it gets easier an easier till you can't understand why not everybody is doing it. This last point is probably one reason for the fights between vegans and non-vegans.
A Tip for people who want to look into vegan food: try ist once every week and after a while maybe do it full time, as long as you feel happy about it.
Include ginger garlic tumeric pepper and cook vegetables more so you won't feel gas.. also in dals and lentils add asafoetida
Usually when vegans struggle with gas it's because they're eating too much fibre 🤷♀️ EDIT: Guys I didn't expect anyone to even respond to my comment. I should have worded things more carefully and been clearer. A dramatic increase in fibre will obviously cause problems, but theres also some people who are just having too much. Check out Wheezy Waiter's recent video on trying veganism. He talks about having to dial it back.
People aren't usually used to processing high amounts of Fibre like out body is built for... But we do get the ability back after about 2 months
Also lots of fruit
Everything on the vegan diet has fiber except soy yogurt or tofu or somethin
Gas is not a long term problem on a vegan diet.

the only thing that wasn't told, u need to take vitamins cause u will be short of them.
For example, vitamin b12 which is mostly in non-vega food like meat, eggs, fish etc.
b12 is not mostly in meat
@@cuandobajalamarea mostly in "non-vega food" "LIKE" meat, eggs, fish, etc.
Please read.
yup, supplements are important! i have a supplement that contains b12, d3, and omega-3s. and of course you've gotta watch your nutrition in general in usual foods, make sure you're getting iron and whatnot
Even animals raised for meat, milk or eggs are given B12 supplements only. So either way you're consuming supplements
@@therealgrimreaper68 Yeh I know, but there are also other things in meat, that u need
When you suddenly increase your fiber intake, it can cause gas and bloating. This is because the bacteria in your gut are not used to breaking down that amount of fiber, which leads to increased gas production.
For people who don't consume enough fiber, this can be a common issue. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, only about 5% of Americans consume the recommended amount of fiber per day, which is about 25-38 grams for adults. This means that 1 in every 5 people may not be getting enough fiber in their diet.
To avoid or reduce the symptoms of gas and bloating, it's recommended to gradually increase your fiber intake over several days or weeks, drink plenty of water, and spread fiber intake throughout the day. It's also important to choose fiber-rich foods that are easier to digest, such as cooked vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
I'm almost 3 years vegan, I've lost over 70 pounds and my blood tests amazingly improved.... I'm not regretting it

Yeah I felt the same way when I was vegan-I believe the excess fiber really puts the digestion into light speed causing excess gas (but tbh I already have a fast metabolism and pass gas frequently 😂) I noticed that bathroom trips were much *ahem* easier however.
It just takes time to pass
Solutions to the bloating problem:
1) increasing the fiber gradually.
2) drinking water between the meals.
I use apple cider vinegar for bloating, its instantaneous

Lolol
We only rob bees babies food
Why do some people get bad flatulence from eating beans, whole grains, and vegetables while others don't? I don't get gassy with these foods. But I LOVE how they fill you up and make you feel satisfied. If you're not already, make sure to chew your food really well. I think that makes a difference.
MIcrobiome is another reason other than swallowing air. The prebiotics in fiber increase good gut bacteria adept at helping to break down plants more efficiently, hence less gas. For someone eating less plant foods and suddenly going veggie, It may take a little while for the bacteria colonies to adjust.
we need more doctors like this
Perhaps you could do a video on the Mediterranean diet! That would be great 😁 PEEWOOP!!!

First time I entered Mike's comment section.. For the fart jokes :)
I properly laughed at loud when he made that noise.
Some people would argue that honey is vegan but the reason it isn’t to most it because of a few ethical reasons. The males are crushed to death for artificial insemination, the queen bee has her wings clipped to be easily identified, and to prevent swarming. Often times during the winter the hive is culled because it’s cheaper to get ride of the entire hive then to make sure they are fed. Gives with “bad temperaments” are often culled aswell, to do these beekeepers may light the hive on fire, suffocate them or trap the bees in bags and leave them in the sun to either suffocate or pass away due to the high temperature upon many other things.
The beekeeping industry is helping to save honey bees so some argue it's ok. Though, it is taking it away from being a food source for their larvae and bees are sometimes killed during harvesting. On a side note, medicine is usually an acceptable excuse, even in religious diets (like judaism), if there are no other alternatives considered as effective
I think this needs to be re-done with a WHOLE-FOOD-PLANT-BASED DIET

Now run along and eat your soy kibble like the benevolent corporations tell you.
Some ppl consider honey vegan. Especially since if the bees weren’t ok with the beekeeper taking the honey they can leave. They choose to stay bc the apiary is the best option most of the time
PREP AND PLANNING IS KEY. I’d hate for anyone to rethink going plant based because of your experience.

The opening sequence full of packages and no living vegetables was scary. Like im wondering wheres the food?
Exactly.
Yup! Where are the whole foods?! Vegan can be SO simple...why do people over complicate it?! Beans, legumes, while grains, fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds...seems simple to me! Not packaged and processed all the time...
Ditto! I was horrified by all this over-packaged stuff. Expensive and unnecessary-and I suspect quite unhealthy too! Not to mention bad for the environment...as the other dude said, it really doesn’t need to be as complicated.
Me too. Where's the fruit & veg?
Yeah it's frightening. He is a doctor.... I guess its because of the Thrive sponsorship...
You should know that flatulance diminishes and eventually is no longer a problem the more fiber you ingest.
Have you tried Fryed Tofu?
Because when my family (2 parents and a sibling) were Vegan we had fryed tofu quite a bit and that stuff is Amazing especially when you get like white rice with it and some kind of sweet and spicy sauce.

Could you do a video explaining the best way to go about a Mediterranean diet?
I'd love that
Honestly.. I grew up with a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern diet and it’s therefore natural for me to eat this way, but I’ve seen some videos made by Americans etc. on how to do the Mediterranean diet and it’s just not correct.. people overthink it.. some basic tips are
1. Eat natural none processed foods
2. olive oil in and on everything
3. Tomatoes and lemons are your best friend
4. Fish, beans and legumes over meat
5. Nuts, fruits and sun goes a long way 😆
Am a HUGE fan of the Mediterranean diet as well! Would love to see a vid on this! :)

"It's a restrictive diet" I've been vegan for eleven years now and low FODMAP for eight years. It was much harder for me not being able to eat wheat, rye, spelt and barley anymore than being vegan, but I got used to it. No trouble getting my calories in, even when I went to the gym up to seven hours a week, and no deficiencies. It can be done! But I agree it does take an effort, you need to invest time in learning about food and cooking new dishes.
What made me go plant-based was a combination of lactose intolerance and having severe pain after eating meat. Crying on the floor kind of pain. My ideas about animal welfare developed afterwards, when I could let go of the idea that eating meat was normal and necessary, as I was raised to believe.
I came for this comment
You can try to have Indian food as it has so many delicious and healthy recipes .It is properly cooked unlike undercooked and uncooked salads which actually cause bloating.I have been vegetarian all my life and never experienced any problem. Anyways, huge shoutout to your amazing channel. Love from India! ❤
Here's the situation, from my perspective. Mike was eating what seems like a lot of processed vegan food. That'll make you pretty tired even on a non vegan diet. You're obviously going to be better off, whether you're vegan or not, eating foods that aren't processed.
If you plan on going vegan, I recommend eating more raw vegetables, and foods that aren't specifically advertised as vegan. So, maybe avoid 'vegan cheese'.
It's going to take a while for your digestive system to become used to a whole new diet. Cutting out a large "food group" is definitely going to give you gas or mess up your digestion somehow, but that'll probably stop once your body gets used to the change. For me, it took at least 4 or 5 weeks.
I'd also bear in mind that a plant-based diet won't always result in weight loss, if that's your goal. There are a lot of plant-based alternatives to meat or dairy, which probably contain more calories, saturated fats, etc.
@noel hopley 100% agree! Veganism can be dangerous if you don't eat the right kinds of food, but so is any other diet.
One of his biggest problems were digestion and not getting enough calories, so eating only unprocessed vegan foods (beans, whole grains, raw(!) vegetables etc) would make it better? Those things are super hard to digest and higher im volume (means you need to eat way more to get enough calories). Seems pretty counterproductive, but maybe that's just me. I tried going vegan too and had to give up after a few months. I used cronometer and took supplements to hit all my nutrient targets, cooked from scratch, but my digestion killed me. Was in pain pretty much 24/7 except in the morning before I ate breakfast and I tried every hack I could find to make beans more digestible. 🤷🏼♀️
@@19Thunderbird94 actually, there are hundreds of unprocessed foods that we eat on a daily basis, and that aren't difficult to digest. Also, veganism isn't easy for the first month or so, because your body isn't used to the change in macronutrients. You'll eat less fibre on a non vegan diet, so suddenly switching it is, well, surprising to you digestive system.
@@ish4638 well, I stuck with it for more than 2 months and it got progressively worse. No sign of my body adjusting. In the beginning I was only bloated and in pain, when I stopped I had diarrhea multiple times a day to the point where I was afraid to leave the house and not making it to the nearest toilet in time. I have to completely avoid beans and limit certain vegetables, grains and seeds. My only plantbased protein options are a few select protein powders, pea based mock meats, quorn and nuts.
@@19Thunderbird94 veganism obviously isn't for everyone. I had to see a nutritionist, due to an eating disorder, and they really helped me understand the risks, what I should he eating, etc.
If you're considering starting again, seeing a medical expert in nutrition is very helpful.
I've been vegan since high school, 1988. I felt like a rabbit only eating salads. I am so happy with all of the vegan products and restaurants now! I have also traveled to Canada and Ireland and they have AMAZING vegan options!! Thank you Dr. Mike for taking the time to learn and try different diets. You are always learning and sharing your knowledge. I love that!
Since 1988? That's amazing, how did you do that? My partner became vegan 9 years ago and apparently it was super hard even back then... I can't imagine how it must've been in the 80s!
Sparked Tiger it takes time for your digestive system to get used to the diet switch
@Sparked Tiger I suppose it can depends on what/how you eat. I never had complications switching over to my vegetarian diet, but also I already ate a low-meat diet so it wasn't that much of a change. A lot of factors to consider. Hypothetically, a personalized vegetarian diet can work for you, but that might be too difficult.
if you're having trouble with variety you can try indian vegetarian food that doesn't have milk or honey cause most indian vegetarian food and vegan food is pretty similar other than they way it's cooked. you get a lot of spices and flavour and it covers most of your nutrition too. if you have an indian/ south asian friend you can ask them for recipes and get help from them. in restaurants you'll probably have to tell them that you dont want milk products or you can ask the waiter for stuff that doesn't have milk and meat. also don't eat any type of paneer dish cause that's made of milk and most people don't know that
"I felt like a rabbit only eating salads." hey, doesn't sound like a bad life - people always knock salads, but we should make it cool :)
A plant-based/vegan diet is best when doing mostly whole foods rather than fo-meat or processed snack foods/ take out orders. I know this video is older but :) it is a good one! The gas and gut sounds were from the surge of total fiber, can take several weeks-months to gradually adapt.
A vegan diet for me would be extremely difficult. I'm allergic to nuts and soy, two things that are in a lot of foods, and substitutes for meat, at least here where I live.
Try different Indian vegan recipes 😋
@@evelynneufeld7610 I have no interest in veganism, but thanks! I'd like to at least learn if I need to cook for a vegan someday
Now that Mediterranean diet picture looked so friggin good.
I actually think that's the best option.
Yes the best option y'all. Delicious and nutrious
Mediterranean food is indeed delicious, and obviously healthy (since life expectancy in Italy for example is among the highest in the world) - only it has nothing to do with the totally artificial "Mediterranean diet". In Italy, people eat lots of white bread (really good white bread though), and pasta. No self-respecting Italian would touch "whole-grain" stuff. They also eat wonderful sausages and cheeses, more meat than Central and North Europeans, and of course sweet pastries. They also eat a lot of vegetables and drink a lot of wine.
So don't bother with a "diet" but enjoy real Mediterranean food. It's definitely good for you.
Vegan food is so good
@@leonie4696 Problem is, you won't find real mediterranean food unless you travel to Italy. The sausages we make at home here are very different from the ones you buy in stores, and more expensive(even 15 to 25 euros per piece). Also, the "mediterranean" diet is actually much much different from what people imagine, we eat without discrimination every type of meat, which is sometimes not very healthy: eating red meat 3 to 4 days in a row, plus pasta at every lunch because it's a MUST. I personally would feel better with a vegan rather than a mediterranen(I tried the former and I live with the second one)

Been vegan for almost 10 years. I think if you don’t have a reason for it, and frankly, all three (environment, health, and ethics) you cannot stick to it. The SAD involves addiction and you can’t beat that without some serious moral conviction! :-).
That was interesting. I’ve never had any of those problems as a vegan. It’s incredibly easy to not feel tempted by meat when it’s for moral/ethical reasons, I actually feel genuinely repulsed by meat. I could see that making it difficult for people doing it for health reasons. Personally I’m an advocate for everyone eating less meat rather than trying to make everyone vegan. I’m glad he mentioned that at the beginning, it’s a more achievable goal for most.
