DO NOT eat buttercups, they are toxic. Unless they are brought to a very high temperature.
It was greatly important for me to share my story with vegetarianism with you. I was so scared to publish this, and if I'm being honest, I still am as I write. I'm aware of the huge controversy on the topic, I know what's at stake for our friends, the animals. But please, open your heart and consider hearing my choice.
For now, that's what my body needs. It was beyond harsh to accept reintroducing fish into my life. And I still carry some amount of doubts and confusion in my mind. But deep inside, I know this was the best decision I could reach. For both my mental and physical health.
I could have chosen to share more details about the how, the what and the why. But I needed this video to breath. To stay pure and open, instead of narrow minded.
I have no idea for how long I'll be eating fish. For now, my brain and body are still showing great improvements each day. I will just keep on asking and listening to my core, to my heart, whether I should eat this form of life or not. Readjustments may or may not come. Only MY soul knows what is right to do, for me, and for the time being.
I sincerely hope you can benefit, somehow, from watching this video. Whether you are a vegetarian or not at all, all I want is to inspire you to live a little closer to your heart.
Thank you all so much for your support, this channel is growing faster than I could have ever imagined. I still don't realise how much has happened here in just a week. I'm reading every single comment and am doing my very best to answer each one of your beautiful souls.
Sending you all my sincere love and light,
Vanille

I had joint pain, high blood pressure, exhaustion and everything else and my health experts gave me drugs that did no good. One day I ate 5 avocados because they were going to go bad. The next day I woke up and all my join pain was gone. So, I researched and found that avocados have 75% RDA of potassium. So, I started taking potassium and all my health issues went away.
Yes we need alot more potassium than the so called experts recommend. If you hear your heartbeat in your pillow at night that is a sign that you are potassium deficient. Iodine and Lutein deficiency are very bad too .
Especially Lutein and eye health and Iodine and a females mood swings and headaches can be caused by Iodine deficiency.
I started taking Lutein with Zeaxanthin and my eyes feel 100 % better and my general inflammation level is down like 90 % .
Of course if your not living right and eating alot of junk food then you'll need to change your wicked ways 😜
Most of our health problems have been created by our governments in bed with corporations and farmers associations who are more interested in selling us stuff like margarine, corn products, soybean products and breakfast cereal than in actually encouraging us to eat all the stuff we really need especially for the proper development of our brains .
To be healthy you need the whole spectrum of food, it's your body but not your choice. You can have several dishes to chose from which isn't bad, from but you can't stem from the laws of nature. The damage to the human body can sometimes be imperceptible until a long time has passed. If you suffer any damage and it's reversible then you are lucky, if not you will have to deal with whatever damage you've done to yourself. Other people have become morning cereal fanatics, cereal for the little children, cereal for the whole school life, sometime cereals even in college and what's worse is that many adults eat cereals. Eliminating all the other spectrum of nutrition and focusing fanatically on one food as being "main" could be due to the fact that we have processed food and aggressive marketing , due to population density. Processed food isn't bad, what's bad is that we have a generation of people that never knew what normal nutrition looks like, due to getting born and growing up in a society that has things like food processing and alimentary chemistry. The people should not stem from the laws of nature, no meat or milk is insanity, the same is with eliminating other nutrients from the nutrition just because you have formed the "cereal for breakfast obsession".

Why didn’t your doctors give you bloodwork first? That would have showed a lack of potassium and you wouldn’t have had to figure it out yourself. Bad healthcare is so upsetting
I’m vegetarian (almost 10 years now) and thanks to my nutritionist I’ve learned how to eat to stay healthy and strong, and I’m here watching your video telling you to never feel bad if you had to change the way you eat. We should always listen to our body and needs. Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know how old are you, but you speak so much wisdom my dear. Thank you for being a lucid human, with a huge heart ♡
Odetotheoldsouls. Good to hear you're staying healthy and strong, excellent !
I'm also a vegetarian, have been since 1981 and haven't contracted flu or a cold for nearly seven years now.
It's worth considering and bearing in mind that people's metabolisms differ, a point you and your nutritionist are both undoubtedly highly aware of, but a point many overlook.
my friend's were going through the same phase instead of going to murdering animals they consulted a vegan doctor did some blood work turn out they were deficient in iron B12 and omega 3 after right supplemention they became alright why not consult a vegan doctor before eating animal products it shows they never cared about animal to start with
@@cuhurun so you ate some animal products?
I'm a vegetarian since birth and proud of it 🙂
I am 47 and I've been a very healthy vegan for 29 years (ever since I turned 18). I get semi-regular blood tests and everything has always shown that I am very healthy. However, no judgment from me whatsoever!! People need to do what is best for them. My husband is not a vegan, and neither are my sons. You have to do what works for you, no guilt either
I wish more people had your healthy mindset. 💚
You are not a vegan, but on a vegan diet. Cause vaganism is an idea of saving animals. It’s not about your comfort. That’s why vegans never say like that. Cause they feel this animals pain all the time.
I’m not a vegan now if to talk about my diet, cosmetics. My life didn’t allow me to stay. But I’m a vegan if to talk about such simple things as no leather, no fur. But I SAY that we can’t eat them and can’t eat milk products cause it’s EXTREMELY CRUEL.
And it’s not healthy for an adult to eat milk products. Milk is for babies. Look at nature.
I was vegan for seven years... until I felt like I was dying. 😔 I realized through experience that meat (especially beef) and raw dairy are the most nutrient-dense and healing food, because of them I feel alive and well again. Because of this I found so much respect for the animals and the life-death cycle that is normal within this earth (everything goes through this cycle, even human beings). Every time I eat, I am filled so much gratitude. We have forgotten this, eating has become soulless.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and thoughts, I am sure it will invite people to question their mind and listen to their heart. Much respect and love to you ♡

Indeed. Modern society has forgotten to be thankful at every meal. Ever so sad.
I’ve been vegan for 15 years. I’m thriving on this diet. Each person should choose the diet that works best for their body.
My story is the same to yours! I was vegan for 7 years and I thought it was amazing until it wasn't. My body hurt, my brain was fogged, I was so tired my health suffered. I learned of how important beef is and raw dairy and golden grass fed butter and now I feel nourished and grateful! 💕
its refreshing to hear someone admit that an opinion that they had previously has changed & they are now living by the new deeper understanding
People talk about this a lot. I went vegan, because my previous opinion of eating meat had changed. I've been vegetarian/vegan for over 6 years as an athlete and I feel great. But your comment, your thought, only applies to people who revert back usually. I never understand why so many people (not you, your comment was not mean) hate on things that are supposed to make the world better. A lot of people just don't do it right. They think "oh I'm a vegetarian so i eat lettuce and bread!" which is not really correct.
I was vegetarian most of my adult life by choice. But I was constantly tired, unfocused and irritable. I returned to eating fish and white meats and my health has rebounded. But I try to stay only on fish as much as possible, and indeed, only when I feel the need for it. I’m still researching ways to stay vegetarian without risking my health. I believe animals are sentient beings and wish to treat them as such.
Soul brother before eating a meat just see the meat by putting a mask in your nose can you feel any taste . And after that just touch the meat with your tounge . Feel the deference . Do this act experiment on 1 week and write down the experience on diary . Do this act with vegetables and fruits also as experiment. write down the experience. Do this act with water and write down your experience. Do this act with cold drink write down your experience. Lick the stone write down experience. "" The one who knows what is happening will become God" 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Just know that plant farming kills at least as many animals. Countless vegetarians and vegans may be suffering for nothing. The answer is a return to small-scale, private farming and homesteading, and even then, killing others to stay alive yourself sometimes has to happen. I remember especially reading an article from a vegan (or ex-vegan) who was so proudly growing her own lettuce in her garden. But snails kept attacking her lettuce. No matter what she did, she could not keep the snails at bay except by - with tears - using lethal means.
And that is just one woman's lettuce garden, nothing like the countless baby deer and rabbits sliced to pieces by farming equipment every day. I'm just saying there is no perfect, or innocent way of living. Our lives inevitably bring death to others, as they did to others.
I thank the animal for their help and sacrifice and I try to stay on those who do not see death coming as much as possible and I also eat animals that are well treated until the end.

@@ladyylva2492 Exactly! I don't know how more people aren't aware of this!
Since I was very very young-
I knew I don't belong here, this planet, place, experience.
The awareness level has always been so high and so lonely.
But with people is the loneliest because they are so disappointing.
It is hard on your health.
Needing the right balance is key.
(Balance in all things)
But every person's BALANCE is different...
Yes, you have to do what is right for your mind, body and soul...
Peace be with you 😌
Thank you for your explanation. I am curious about what you were eating before you decided to eat fish. My husband (75) and I (73) began a whole food plant-based way of eating 2 years ago. We only eat vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and legumes, nuts, and seeds. We also supplement with vitamin B12 once a week. So far, it is been very good for us. We don't use any added fats or oils of any kind, and other than a little honey, use no animal products. I am very glad that you are feeling better!
Thank you very much Yolanda! I was vegetarian so I was eating a very healthy diet full of veggies and gluten free cereals, legumes and fruits. If you guys feel healthy and well on this diet, that's fantastic and I'm really happy that's the case! ♡
2 years is nothing and you have a lifetime of animal nutrition behind you.
@@betterworld2958 yes we do! Fortunately, though, we rarely ate junk or processed food. I've always cooked from scratch, gardened and emphasized whole, natural foods. I've been making whole wheat bread for our family since 1972.
@@loves2spin2 that’s amazing
@@loves2spin2 Hello from someone who doesn't have 'a lifetime of animal nutrition' behind me! I've been vegan for over 6 years and vegetarian for a year before being vegan. A year before being vegetarian, I was flexitarian and, prior to that, I was a meat eater as I grew up in a household where it was the norm to eat animal products. So, I can say with confidence that you won't suffer the longer you are vegan. In fact, as long as you're on the correct vegan diet that your body requires, you'll thrive and be able to achieve your weight gain or loss goals like I have. I personally like being curvy, so healthy weight gain is what I strived for. But, it's also very easy to lose weight just by switching up your macros.
I have been watching your vids. I am drawn to your simplicity, honesty, and struggle for meaning. It seems that you don't belong in this century. You're accent, the way you dress, the creative furniture and dishes you make, are so heart warming! Even your love for literature and dance. You are a true romantic and explorer! You even share your pain and failures . You are a refreshing, and beautiful soul, in this fast paced world. We all need to reflect on who we are, and where we are going. Thank you Verdant!
Wow wow wow. THANK YOU ♥️
I am glad you finally woke up and started to truly nourish your body. I too was vegetarian for quite some time- 10 solid years. I too became vegetarian as an emotional response to the abuse of nonhuman animals. I too wrecked my health. I know you don't want to upset by speaking too deeply about this topic. However, truth is truth. Meat, eggs, milk all have bioavailable nutrients. It means we almost instantly absorb and utilize the nutrients unlike what happens when we eat plants only. Not everyone has certain enzymes to convert plant form of nutrients. I know of not even one person that possesses every enzyme necessary to convert plant form nutrients into the bioavailable form. I don't care if the truth upsets people. People should care more about truth and their wellbeing than they do staying on a destructive course. Grass fed and finished organic beef, chicken that is raised on pastures eating organic food, eggs from pasture raised organic fed hens, moderate amount of berries for the real form of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is not vitamin C.
If you wish to have children it is crucial that you consume grass fed and finished organic beef. Veganism and Vegetarianism absolutely wrecks male and female reproductive organs. In fact, if you are still of child bearing age you should be consuming red meat (beef) because of the monthly loss of blood.
No animals on earth drink milk stop
@@FredoSancheZ-zs7nh Humans are animals and we drink milk. Well, those of us from a certain bloodline. Your response has no merit. That’s like saying “No animals on earth practice animal husbandry nor have agriculture so humans shouldn’t eat anything at all."
Your talent in producing and making of your UA-cam channel is out standing. Be very proud of your work and who you are.
Your message just brought a large smile to my face. I can feel your kind heart from where I stand right now, be aware of your bright shining light Dick. ♡
I was a lacto vegetarian (only milk products and no eggs allowed), every winter that came was worse than the other, until this winter my nerves started tingling all over my body, it was scary since my arms would shake and I'd drop things like glasses and people started noticing and it was truly scary, I felt like I was 90 years old not 26 , I was so tired and depressed I wanted to literally die and could not wait for summer because at least then I was normal again(still had the nerve and muscle tingling but with more energy), so I incorporated eggs in my diet and they help tremendously, I eat them almost everyday, maybe it's not healthy to eat them everyday but I started gaining weight(I'm very skinny) and gained energy too, so I think my body needs that, even some bad cholesterol hahah so I'm happy that you found out what helps you and I support you completely, I tried eating fish but my body could not handle it so eggs it is, and maybe shrimp or mussels for me but not often. Thank you for your positivity and honesty, it is truly appreciated, eye opening and helpful.
Your story is very inspiring and you are so brave. To see the truth, to make a move despite your moral values. Bravo.
Don't worry about the eggs, the bad cholesterol is a false idea. I eat two almost each day as well :)
Your health will keep on improving my dear, even brighter days are to come.
Thank YOU ♡
@@VerdantVanille Thank you so much for your encouraging words, it means a lot. ♥️🍀
I have been a Vegetarian for 36 years and I felt the same way at the start until I found out I wasn't getting B12 once I started taking B12 my health improved and I was not tired anymore.
Same here. Vegetarian for 35ish years, vegan on and off over that time. Then a couple of years ago I just started being completely exhausted all the time. Turns out I needed B12 & iron. This made a huge difference & really quite quickly too.
I'm happy you're feeling healthy now Phillip! ♡
Obviously it was not meant for us to be taking in B12 via tablets. We are meant to consume meat, but not as much as we are doing today maybe.
Great way to get B12 is making homemade kefir
My sister realized she needed to take vegan protein to help the tiredness since it wasn’t enough in her diet
You're not the only one, I've also experienced significant suffering in the form of physical ailments after not eating meat for a long time.
Verdant, once again this old lady so identifies with your soul! When I got my first Kitty 20 years ago I stopped eating meat immediately. Off and on over the past 20 years I have eaten fish and sometimes eggs...and then I would stop eating them all together...andnow I eat only fish besides vegetables, fruit and grains. The times I didn't eat fish I didn't feel good. I so understand the difficulty you had in choosing your own health over being vegan. I too feel like I had to betray a part of my soul in order to survive. I too can honestly say I love animals more than humans. Most people get upset when I say that so I don't say it often. It is just how my soul responds to the universe. I try to respect the gift of each fish and thank the universe for this gift the way the Native Americans do. When they would capture a buffalo they would always thank the animal for the gift of its life before they would eat it. I truly feel like a soul sister to you and I'm so grateful for your honesty. It helps me be at peace. Thank you again and again for what you do on social media. You are bringing your own light to the universe and I am grateful to share in it!
I just had goosebumps all over my body while reading your words Susie. You also are speaking your own truth, and I truly admire you for that. You are a very wise woman that has a lot to teach in the world. I am honoured to be crossing your path, and to count you among this community in quest of Truth. And LOVE. ♡
@@VerdantVanille you are really an honest person verdent...
What about the wendigos?
Im vegan for 10 years, with no problems, just solutions, I just eat a great variety of vegetables, fruits and grains every day 🙃
It's wonderful to know you thriving on a vegan diet, truly. May this never stop ♡
But are you really happy? Maybe you could be ten or a hundred or more times as happy. You could.
I think nobody is happy all the time, but I'm much more then I was, and the fact to live with a free and clean conscience help on the happiness, have a healthfully and light body helps too...
Why is it always the privileged who give up being vegan •́ ‿ ,•̀
@@aquariumnicolie105 Is it always? Are those who do quit any more priveleged than those who don't?
Something like 84% of vegans quit within a few years, often sooner.
I was veggie for most of my life and then went back to free range chicken for a while. Then now plant based. What I learnt is that you need to eat a balanced diet regardless. You can then be healthy.
exactly, it's actually really not that hard. Wholegrains, nuts, seeds, legumes, lots of veggies. Just the whole pallete and everyone's gonna be just fine. It's all about giving the body to choose from.
Not all bodies extract the nutrients they need from plants, nuts, seeds etc. Some people need animal products too. I know because I’m one of them. I have been vegetarian, vegan, raw vegan. I did my research and ate a balanced diet, however, I got sick and needed to introduce animal products for the sake of my nervous system. When I did, I recovered quickly.
I was vegan for a decade and a half and tried chicken but it just didn't work for me so I added fish instead and that was what my body was missing nutrient-wise. Just adding one or two servings a fish a week while still eating vegetarian for 90% of my caloric intake improved my quality of life drastically. For some reason chicken and red meat just made me feel worse for some reason and my energy levels actually went down. Fish actually improved my energy levels and didn't make me feel nauseous and cause me to develop "the runs".
Everyone is different, my wife swears by chicken and I swear by fish and she dislikes fish and I dislike chicken so the optimal diet is definately not universal.
Thank you for sharing your experiences about an important subject. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 14 years ago (small and very early stage) and immediately did what I could do to to reduce its progress -- that is, I changed my diet and became a strict vegan. I am convinced that in my case the diet made a large difference as the cancer has not progressed. Still after about 10 years, I too felt depleted and introduced some wild caught fish in my diet. I don't know for sure but I think I was able to find a balance. My preferred diet continues to be greens, rice, pasta, tomatoes, beans, nuts, fruit. If I don't get my greens, my body feels the lack. Life is balance; diet is balance. Again thank you for sharing this video and your other videos. You have important things to say.
Wow! What a journey of bravery you were on Gary! Your story is so interesting and I look at it with admiration. It is wonderful to be able to listen to your body like you do, and adjust your diet along the way. It requires skills and devotion to do that. Thank you for supporting my work, it sincerely means a lot. ♡
@@VerdantVanille glad you decided to set that PayPal link up , I sent you 50 $ USD so I don't know how much that is where your at , I know it's not much but I hope it's helps
Grass fed meat is actually very healthy. Maybe not for a cancer survivor, but as a general rule for everyone else. Also pasture raised chicken.
I learned years ago from a naturalist that the needs our bodies get from plants was not enough. He taught me about plants, minerals and animals and the balance each give to make us whole. I was not having the right amounts of these and my body told me that. Like you, once I began to correct the unbalance in me, I felt better, not just good but great. I also so very much enjoy watching you cook and bake, it is so calming for me, thank you. You add to help me feel better just watching you, I can only wish you good health. Take care.
I'm so happy you were able to get your health back on track Brian! Your words are always so comforting, it gives me a lot of determination to keep doing what I do. THANK YOU ♡
@@VerdantVanille I know you will continue to get well Vanille. I will pass on to you what I learn, it's always good to share with others. Take care and stay positive.
Who was the naturalist that advised you? Can you share their information?
@@abarnes8718 Sorry to report he lost his fight with cancer.
You aren't losing your self or betraying self having changed from one diet to another. It's just an ego you have created throughout 14 years, and now you dismantle and create another one. Your true self is unchanged, it's the mask you are changing to ensure body survives in this world.

Thank you for being true … only you know what is best for you, listening to our body is the right way ❤
One wise woman once told me: all life feeds on life - the plants grow out of decomposed plants, animals eat other animals and/or plants…
It helped me to make peace with eating everything so far as it from Farmers who care for their plants and animals and treat them well.
Thank you for sharing your path 😊
I so much needed to hear this Olga. What an inspiring woman you are. THANK YOU ♥️
Your journey is uniquely yours and is to be embraced. I was vegan for seven years and my body began to deteriorate. Lethargy, brain fog, joint pain, and sinusitis were the primary symptoms. One day I asked my son to go to the market to pick up some cooked fish. I understand the guilt you feel when eating animal flesh...it goes against everything you believe. As for me, I was also a vegan educator, which added another layer of guilt. I ate the fish and my body responded positively and almost immediately. Since I had already gained a vegan following, I decided to "come out" and share my story. It was very freeing and every day my body thanks me for listening to it and honoring it. Today, I still teach the benefits of plant foods, but I also educate my students on the origins of food, be it animal or plant, and being grateful for all the animals whose lives save mine.
Without fermented foods and healing plants it's very difficult to have a vegetarian/vegan and balanced diet. It's a bit sad how some awesome foods just completely vanished from some western diets. Stinging Nettle, Dandelion, Plantago, Achillea, and on and on and on, became for a large part of the population unknown and strange herbs when they actuallya are needed in every diet to counterbalance the effects of more energy-packed food.
At least it's good to discover and explore these in light of modern research methods.
P.s. Love your channel. Thanks for sharing yourself with us
Thank you for sharing. Your health must come first because, without our health, we have nothing.
This is powerful, what you just said.
Just to add a forgotten reality. As we have become a mostly Urban culture, most have forgotten that on the traditional small farm one would raise a steer from birth and love and care for it. At some point the cycle of life progressed and it was time for the steer, the family loved, to then become food for the table. It was a completely natural process. If one does hard physical work, which is kinda what we're designed for I can't imagine not having meat at the table. I tried a lacto vegetarian diet in the Seventies during my college years and found it ultimately caused me to feel way to passive and weak. That being said, I understand that if one was raised in warm, tropical culture it would make sense to eat a more plant based diet and perhaps no meat or fish etc. To each his own state of consciousness.
I think you have pointed a lot of truth James, thank you!
On small farms were raised with care and love? You love people by cutting their throat? Impregnating them every year?
You're so absolutely right!!
Your cinematography, directing and the quaint comfort in these productions continues to impress. I am so happy your health is returning.
You’re such a kind soul ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story, and the encouragement for everyone to write their own stories.
We all have to start listing to our bodies and become conscious of what our second brain is telling us.

Eva, you learnt to listen to your heart and that's very brave ♡
My entire family is vegetarian for absolutely ever and none of us have had any major health problems at all. Most are engineers doctors lawyers mentally extremely agile..
Most of my extended family (all vegetarian) lived to a minimum age of active 80+.. they started slowing down only after 85. No health issues at all because all were active and ate a variety of fruit and veggies beans legumes dairy with complex un processed carbs.
I appreciate your honesty nevertheless.. to each his own
It don't have to be major, but I can tell you this, low vitamine b can make you have dementia when you are old.
You're indian?
some people have health issues unique to themselves. genes determine a lot. you seem to have those that make it possible for you and your family to thrive on a vegetarian diet. I, for one, as someone who suffers from histamine-related issues in which most vegetables abound and inflammation that many of them (like legumes) compound , would not be able to be a vegetarian, but I do incorporate a lot of vegetables nevertheless (and have to deal with pain and inflammation, but yolo).
It‘s a great ignorance not to know that there are people who can eat junk food, smoke and live a very unhealthy lifestyle and they are top fit, live long lives, they are not fat, they develop almost no diseases, etc and etc. Also, many so called vegans and vegetarians are HUGE LIARS bc they DO EAT MEAT ONCE IN A WHILE and many animal products. It‘s bot to each their own, it‘ s to each body, the right food, understanding and lifestyle. But alas, so many liars and ignorants.
@@drzeworyj 👏👏👏
I was borderline vegetarian for 2 years and it was so bad for my body and brain. I had acne, terribly dry hair and muscle fatigue and what not.
I am now considered overweight but feel way better than I did back then. I also look better, my complexion is even, no eczema anymore, my hair looks like GOLDEN SATIN, that's what I'm most proud of. I'm also very strong nowadays. And my stamina is a lot better even when I exercise only 3 times a week.
As a veggie i used to exercise daily and my stamina was Terrible.
Nowadays i eat A LOT of animal fat and meat, all organic and farm raised too!!
My hormones are in line now, my periods a lot less painful and my depression is manageable and non-existent when I'm in nature. My blood pressure and heart rate are perfect aswell. And I can stand the cold so easily now (i love cold showers now)
For nothing in this world would i go back, I'm so glad I realized it wasn't right before it was too late.
I have tried vegetarianism many times, these last two times supplementing with complex B’s. However, everytime my body just stalls. 2 days ago when I was cutting tomato for my salad, my body just wasn’t following my brain orders and my vision became double and blurry. I have also been feeling headaches and like I’ve been flying, so like my ears need to pop due to the pressure. I can feel that the lack of “it”, affects my nerve system. The body just can’t function and that makes me so sad. The day after that episode I hate chicken and I started feeling better. 14 years is inspiring and amazing how you could do it for so long. Maybe some bodies really need it to survive. My father has Parkinsons and lack of B12 might be a factor and if the disease being hereditary (small percentage but still) I don’t want to play with that. I have so much love and respect for animals and I would love to show that respect by not consume them, but my body cannot take it. And if you feel better eating fish that just means you’re doing the right thing. x D
I am glad you are better! I have had some of the same experiences with diet. I am now eating meat again. I feel so much better! Thank you for sharing your story! Do what feels right to your heart!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us Greg, I'm certain it will help people to do what feels right to their heart ♡
Can I ask how soon you felt better please and what sort of animal produce did you have to add back in? Thank you
@@rohygge9671 within about 2-4 weeks I felt better, I added beef, chicken, fish!
I was Vegan for 10 years. It was a good run and respected the moral aspect as well. I decided to slowly add meat back in my lifestyle and have been fine. I think in my case eating too much of that substitute crap in the market started bothering my system. At least if meat is taken out of the supply chain I'll adjust. Good luck with everything... thanks for sharing!🤙🇺🇲
Thank you for sharing a bit of your story, I'm sure it will resonate with some people. Take great care of yourself ♡
7 years of being vegan my liver began failing. i am glad you are healthy now. i am too eating meat but with care and sparingly. my health is back
Vanille your such a sweet soul to suffer so .. I am glad you shared your story, our body needs the fatty acid which our bodies cannot make . I guess you could take some kind of supplements or extractions, but it would be made from animal products i am guessing, either way we just need it. I wish you the best with your moral struggles! hugs !
Jasoooon!!!! You're here, I'm so happy to read you!
You're very right, either way, we just need it.
Thank you so much for your eternal support Jason, I hope things are unfolding as they should in your new life adventures. I'm sending you so much love.

@@VerdantVanille I like how you ignore me...
So sweet! Introducing raw yogurt changed my digestion and my mind. For so long I looked at things right or wrong and now I see how our life cycle has life and death in so many ways. I love the life of a plant like I love the life of an animal now and am learning to deeply respect all beings. Thanks for sharing:)
Your story has touched me. At 19, I began to move gradually toward a pescetarian diet. (I encountered so much opposition) This was not the original plan. I just stopped red meat and it evolved from there. Lately my brain bas been foggy. And I realise I've had no fish for weeks because it is hard to get where I live. What I found helped me may sound crazy, but, I thank the fish (silently) each time I eat for the sacrifice of their life for my sake. I feel grateful as I eat and I believe this improves digestion. ❤🌱🐟 wishing you well
Your story is so inspiring Amanda, I am sure it will help many people! You are a brave little woman, you shine already. Stay true to yourself and never listen to anyone or anything else, than your heart. Sending my love ♡
Vegan for almost 3yrs, really helped me get a hold of my diet and health. I also never liked the amount of animal meat we ate regulary. Sometimes I hated the thought of eating animals other times I didn't mind. I'm struggling to always get enough protein and ate my first prawn 2days ago. Really didn't like the idea but I feel like fish could really help me out occasionally. I used to love them, but I didn't like the taste or texture or idea of it at all. But it's only been 2days since I ate one so time will tell. I can always go back to plant only but I hope this will be a good change for me. I'm planning on eating another one soon and hopefully some fish once or twice a week. Thanks for showing it was helpful to read your experience ❤
in this age it is incredibly difficult to live a healthy vegetarian life with all the depletion in the foods. These are not like the one's in your grandma's vegetable garden when she was a kid.
Even one of my spiritual teachers confessed that he had to return to eating meat due to malnourishment. I myself noticed that I had not been eating much meat at all (was eating eggs) and was getting weak and felt like i was 'losing it' Began to have cravings for red meat specifically. After going back to it within just a few months i felt myself growing strong again. Before eating, I do as the american Indians would do and thank the animal that gave it's life up so that i may live.
Veggies aren't as nutrient dessert as what your grandma had, true. But grandma was eating meat and dairy and fish or atleast eggs. So it's an irrelevant thing that people bring up as an argument.
When I lived in Hawaii all us vegans were eating the bananas abd papayas.. meanwhile the locals were having luaus and I kid you not they had NO fruits or veg served. Only some poi. (Which is mashed up taro.
The locals were eating only pig, taro, and fish. They thought we were nuts. And we WERE!
Hmm, I never craved red meat personally even after 16 years as a vegetarian. I did crave fish BADLY though and my skin was in bad shape so I implemented a small amount of fish into my diet and everything has been great ever since. Yeah, can't say that I ever salivated over a steak or burger whatsoever but baked salmon on the other hand... Yeah...lol.
thank you for sharing your story. i have been going thru a similar journey of creating "eating rules" when it really should be about NOT FEELING GUILTY over what you put into your body. and practicing moderation and balance and doing what is right for the body you were given
This is so brave to recognize this path of the mind… keep going my friend ♥️
The path of self discovery demands constant self enquiry. Your admission about turning around to assess one's stomach health is truly brutal honesty that then enables life changing insights as you illustrate so well through your channel. Merci.
Every body has different needs. I'm glad you have discovered yours. I live with my partner who is vegan, I am a vegetarian who occasionally eats fish. We have been eating this way for over 16 yrs. I tried to be vegan, but I prefer cheese and eggs. I can not tolerate red meat in my digestion and don't drink straight white cow's milk, which gives me congestion. I feel good, am healthy, enjoy my life, don't have brain fog and never get sick. I love to create my own meat substitutes to use in meat based recipes and don't buy any store bought versions. I have cultivated this life choice as an ongoing learning curve and enjoy the journey. I don't feel deprived of anything and love to eat. There is no shame in making choices to better your health. It is our own responsibility to take care of ourselves as best as we can.
" There is no shame in making choices to better your health. It is our own responsibility to take care of ourselves as best as we can " That is deeply true and resonates with me. Thank you so much for sharing your story, it's inspiring ♡
In your opinion:
Can cheese and eggs provide as much protein and vitamins as meat?
@@kissbela7409 Protein is actually a pretty easy to obtain for pescatarians in a variety of foods. Vitamins, minerals, etc are more specific to type of foods. I only supplement with vitamin B-12. I have my level checked regularly, and am within normal range. Hope that answers your question.
@@PDogB Yes, thank you.
I watched the sardines.
It contains two to three times as much vitamin B12 as it does in beef.
I'm a 6.2, 48 year old man at 80kgs ! I eat beans, grains and maze, no Vegetables, no fruit and I walk, work and play with my Canines, no worries, strong and healthy ! I live outside in a tent in the bush of South Africa !
Actually living without eating animals is a wonderful liberation for all concerned.
40 years ago I went vegan after I week vegetarian, there has never been any doubt.
The vegan message is wonderful , vegetarian greats doubt in the mind.
If you can imagine peace and harmony, that's it.
Go beyond doubts, all is well
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with veganism Daniel, what you say it's very interesting. I really hope and will do my best to adjust my life settings to be able to rely only on plants. For now, my body doesn't have the ressources to thrive under this diet. I wish it would be the case, so deeply. But my body was literally dying from everything I have self-induced. I'm happy to read you're a healthy man and it gives me hope for my animal free future!
@@VerdantVanille .perhaps it's the high fibre content, some find this hard , and can effect absorption of nutrients.
I don't know if you have seen an views of neville goddard s work .
He actually says we can creat our future , as in a way our beliefs manifest . Into to body and this world.
Maybe that's why is was easy for me. I could always , see the realised peace in the end for animals. And humans .
Thankyou for your kind response, and very good luck for success
Why is it liberating? Sound like narc looking for extra attention. Speak for yourself when you say it's liberating. I know for a fact we was suppose to eat meat, and anyone really spiritually would know. The water with the fish would get totally out of hand and the balance would be way off. All things must die in some way and animals are no different. Humans hurt humans all while claiming vegan every day. Not eating meating doesn't make you a much better in any way and people love to tell everyone any chance they get that they vegan as if they are special in some way. I knew a vegan girl who was a narc and sneaky and a thief. You don't eat meat but probably do nothing when minorities are mistreated, you pretend not to see like many do on the jobs and out in the world.
@@ladybird491 well I only speak from my own experience, understanding vegan helped me understand reality, to answer why it helped me feel liberated.
This does not mean I know best , have never thought that way .
It's incorrect to project that I am a narcissist, far from it , as felt an attack personally.
I'm happy to debate , why you think eating animals is spiritual , always interested to learn .
no matter what you've decided. it's your own choice, right? we'll support you. thanks for amazing video
Thank you for your honesty. I too have struggled with my chosen diet. I became a vegetarian like yourself at a very young age because like you I could not fathom the idea of an animal suffering for my survival. That was 52 years ago! And for the last six years I could not bear to be a part of the dairy industry and its atrocities to the dear cows and chickens. So I gave up all dairy products and eggs and became vegan. I noticed in the last few years that I just did not feel like I have the energy that I felt I should have, which is tricky to understand as you become an elder as everything slows down and changes anyway! Just wasn't sure if it was my aging or my diet.🤔 So i decided just in these last six months to start eating fish again. It was a hard decision and I often still feel guilty but I have to say I feel a hundred percent better and have so much more energy. So there is really something to say about listening to your body. I just found your UA-cam channel today and I am so happy to start to follow you! Take care lovely lady and keep following your heart AND body!💚😍💚😘
You deserve so much love and success Sherelyn, what you did was very brave. The conflict between the mind and the heart is a tricky one. I send so much light to your beautiful soul ♡
@@VerdantVanille thank you for your lovely and kind reply😍🥰
May I ask how soon you noticed improvements and how much fish do you have a week? Thanks ❤️
I know exactly how you feel...I was vegan for two years and experienced a lot of health issues during that time. What started with love for the animals turned into an eating disorder. So now I'm in recovery for one year and it's the best thing ever! I'm eating fish and eggs and dairy again and I feel so alive. I just want to say you don't have to be embarrassed of this subject. The personality aspect is very important...there's so much more than food...it's not our personality. So funding the true self is really amazing. All the best for you! Your health matters!
Ohhh I feel so joyous to read your story, to know how alive you could feel after accepting to listen to your body. We can still act for animals, in many different ways! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, I'm sending you so much love ♡
you were not vegan, you had a plant based diet. Vegans don't quit Veganism.
I Love to hear you speak. Every word that comes out of your mouth sounds so romantic. You could read a telephone book and it would sound romantic. Prayers for you and your health to get better.
I can't stop from smiling Angela. I know why you were named this way, you are an angel shining her light on people. ♡
@@VerdantVanille That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you. You are also an Angel.
Thank you so much for expressing your feelings on health and veganism. One of my sons is vegan and he doesn't eat anything coming from animals, no eggs, butter, milk but he drinks a lot of beer and has a belly now, he is 47.

As a vegetarian who does eat eggs, cheese, and yogurt, I have learned that pernicious anemia (vitamin B-12 deficiency) is a risk. Brain fog, low energy, wobbly legs. That was me. My great grandmother was wheelchair bound with the same issues. Help came too late for her. Fortunately, my symptoms have responded well to daily B-12
supplements.
I wish the best for you.
I'm really happy you found your way back to health Dovie. Sending much light onto your path ♡
Which b12 supplement do you use that helps please?
@@rohygge9671 Any of the gummies sold at drug stores. I currently have a bottle labeled Sundown non-gmo. I’ve also taken a similar product by Vitafusion.
Thank you for sharing, it's so brave of you to share this very personal part of your life with us. I'm so glad you're feeling better and I'm sorry you had to go through that.
It's in our biology to be omnivores, even though we may not like it. But it's my belief that we can still help the animals. I know we can find a way to be more sustainable and more humane to animals and find a middle ground where we can give our bodies what they need too and I think you have proven that.
I like how you said to follow our own truth. I believe humans can find a way to coexist with the Earth, the animals, and ourselves. We just have to keep trying and learning.
Thanks again for sharing with us! ❤
Luna, your words are breathing truth and wisdom.
Thank you so much for supporting me on my journey. The one in which "we can find a way to be more sustainable and more humane to animals and find a middle ground where we can give our bodies what they need too."

@@VerdantVanille thank you so much!
I also ruined my body on a vegetarian diet. I was vegetarian for a long time, then vegan and my health declined. My periods stopped, my hair was falling out. Joint pain, skin rashes, histamine intolerance, endometriosis, weight gain, fibromyalgia. The list goes on and on. I'm recovering but it takes time to undo the damage. I'm currently working with a nutritionist who has me on a low carb gaps diet. Its helped tremendously.
Sweet angel . I'm putting a sweet question to you. Do one experiment don't drink water as long as u can . Just sleep outside a house at midnight without any extra clothes write down your experience . Write down experience on a diary. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Can I ask how soon you felt better please and what sort of animal produce did you have to add back in? Thank you
My partner and I just recently discovered you and we are in complete awe! We are immediately in love with your style (and mostly, YOU). We also create UA-cam videos and we can tell you’re going to be great inspiration for our direction. Sending lots of love! So grateful for you. 💖
Ohh!!! Your message makes my heart so full! I’m so happy my videos can inspire you guys. I’m grateful to be crossing your path. Sending you both much love and light 🤍
I'm so relieved and mostly elated that your health is better! Your baking talent is amazing! If you allow me to share some wisdom, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?" Please don't follow your heart. What happens if you do, "So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels." But rather, "Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” So rather seek love, hope, and peace. But the greatest is love, "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. In love, Bill
I have pondered quite some time over your words Bill. What you pointed out is very important here. Love, has no limits, no condition, it is so pure. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with me, I'm learning a lot right now. ♡

@@VerdantVanille Likewise Vanille. I love the words you speak ❤️🙏
So one thing I heard or read or whatever recently is that our evolutionary advantage, what brought us to this point as a predator is our ability to chase down our prey. Clearly, chasing our dinner is no longer the main driving force in our lives but again, like you said, something seems wrong, I do not think its just our diet. Thank you for sharing.
I couldn't agree more with you Mike...
This!!! We were meant to hunt for our food
@@thestarinhereyes2 I know, what you may not realize is the path back to that isn't going to be simple, if ever.
You remind me so.much of my younger self. I was a vegetarian all through my 20s until my digestion stopped working. I went to an excellent naturopath in the 1980s. He told me "Some people cannot be vegetarians." I have to eat animal.protien to produce degestive enzymes. I think its because diabetes is in my family. The doctor told me to put raw organic calf's liver in a blender with carrot juice to hide the taste. I was so ill, I did it and had an instant cure! Enzymes!
I grew up around farms but I had forgotten how many small animals and birds die in crop farming. We can't escape death. In fact, the animal slaughter has become more humane, but nobody cares about the small creatures poisoned or chopped up in combines to harvest crops. Animals eat each other. Human brains grew bigger and smarter when we began cooking meat. Sad state of nature as death and life are tied tigether in an endless cycle. I have French heritage and grew up eating lots of meat. Maybe its genetic as well.
Your thoughts are very interesting. We all have a different genome, a different body with different needs. But what you say is right, animals survive because they eat other forms of life. Let it be plants (having feelings too) or animals. I believe Breatharians are advanced people, it will take a lot more global awakening for us to live like them.
Sending you love, sweet one ♡
Animal agriculture has not gotten more humane….? And it’s physically impossible to not have factory farming if everyone eats meat. As of now we only farm so many vegetables bc we feed 90% of them to animals who are slaughtered to feed the first world while others are starving? Circle of life tho includes human suffering too I guess in your book? I guess you are ok with factory farming if you think everyone should eat meat. I agree some people really can’t eat vegan if you have extreme health issues or allergies, but let’s not use condescending “spiritual talk” to deny what’s right in front of us. That if we don’t cut back on our animal product consumption, I’m not even talking fully vegan I’m a flexitarian, we are going to destroy our planet and EVERYONE in it. I understand the circle of life but I also understand that the circle of life doesn’t include stealing breast milk from a cow after raping her and killing or stealing her child isn’t the circle of life. My cousin and uncle get majority of their meat from deer and other animals they hunt themselves from the wild and they use every part of the deer. Yet the same people who view them as barbaric for doing that support factory farming. If you wanna hunt your own food then you can call it the circle of life. Treating living creatures like a product isn’t natural. Plus no matter what we are going to have to farm vegetables but we would farm a lot less of them if we didn’t have to feed all the produce to slaughter house animals. It’s about harm reduction not perfection. Like I said im not vegan anymore, homelessness and poverty got in the way of that. When I was 90 pounds sleeping in abandoned buildings and on the side of the road I didn’t care what it was that I ate bc I was starving. I ate food off the ground for gods sake but most people aren’t in the situation and I lived it for years. Now that I’m blessed enough to have a home I rarely eat animals products but again not perfect. It’s the main things and the majority that counts. Plus plants are alive but they aren’t sentient??? So that’s not quite comparable. No disrespect I’m just sharing my opinion that I’m entitled to. Hope y’all are having a good day :)
Thanks for your honesty. It's so refreshing to see.
I'm beyond joyous to read your kind words, thank YOU ♡
Ours bodies temples. Living beings with their own needs. Sometimes against the plans of our own. Still, listening to our bodies needs rewards us with the riches of wellness. Thank you for sharing your story and for minding me to eat my pescatarian diet with responsibility and joy. Bless.
I became a vegetarian at 13. It was difficult, food options weren't what they are today. I started eating fish in college. In my 30s I had viral thyroiditis and added poultry. I still don't eat mammals and just because the horrible way poultry is raised I limit and would really like to completely cut it out again. I'm 67.
Thank you Cass, for sharing your story with us. I'm sure it will help someone out there ♡
Not all poultry is raised inhumanely. If it came from a farm where all animals were pasture raised and fed the best diet possible, how would that change your stance? Just curious.
@@ShyMplsMale First of all, when I buy chicken it's usually in the form of a frozen meal at home or when I'm going out to eat. So, know there's zero chance it's humanly raised. At the basis, I feel I shouldn't be eating an animal unless I'm willing to kill it - which I'm not.
They are not all raised that way. Eat kosher meat
@@ladybird491 I don't believe that is an humane way of killing an animal.
Hi I am from India. 25 , never consumed meat and eggs. I lift 60 kg in the gym. There are millions like myself in India.
so sad that you pass that. hope you are doing better. In my case, i love being vegan
Thank you ♡ I'm really happy this diet is good for your body!!
I'm very conscious about what I eat. About the life it had and grateful for it's sacrifice that nourishes my body. For the love and life it brings me I give back to the world. No flesh or plant goes without prayer nor do those that have provided it before me. I've learned to cut back meat and balance the amount of food I actually require. Everything is alive and I am grateful to be one of them. 🙏🏼🌎

Vegetarian for 8 years. I’m not a fan of meat substitutes and got tired of eggs. I was falling into almost a depression with how awful I felt physically and mentally. I finally ate salmon with the support of my husband. I cried with guilt but woke up feeling so much better even my cystic acne diminished. This video brings tears to my eyes. I hope to regain control of my health and maybe go back to eating meat free but I did feel better after eating salmon. This video resonates deeply. Brings tears to my eyes.

What a story Jay, that's wonderful! I'm really happy your body is thriving under this diet, I know others that do too :) There are no reason this will ever change for you! ♡
Most importantly…. Animals must be raised healthily and with love and care in stress free environments , not crammed in cages. Our eating animals as a source of nutrition should be done - as with all the food we eat- with gratitude and appreciation. Set your vibration as high as you can and listen to what your body needs.

I've been vegetarian since birth and vegan for four years, we should all strive to live without animal consumption.
Eat wholesome food like Liziqi. ❤️
You're missing out on first-class protein 🔥
I'm glad UA-cam showed me your videos. I was vegetarian for a long time, and developed neurological problems. I started eating meats again, however, when I eat I try to connect to the animal and asking it to live in me, and help me to live more fully.
Hi Verdant, when you become the vegan, make sure your vegs and fruits comes in variety of colours and ensure to add in the vegs known to be high on protein. The rest yoga and meditate to be intuned with the surrounding natures. Some of the big trees are waiting to for you to help you. If this doesnt resonate with you, just ignore. All blessings to your days.
thank you for sharing your discovery. for a short period of time i tried a "trendy" raw diet and experienced hypothermia. it was April and I was constantly shivering. my body just NEEDS hot meals! Currently, I'm a semi vegetarian like you - occasionally eating some fish and shrimps and this diet seems to work. ps. love both the content you provide and its aesthetics. Greetings from Poland!
Thank you for sharing this video. Just like @yolanda down below I wonder what you ate before starting to eat fish again? There are certain nutritions which are critical in a vegetarian or vegan diet, and for people who don't understand this it can become problematic long term. B12 was already mentioned in the comments and there are a few other nutritions which could become a bit critical. I am a vegan now for while and have learned a lot about this topic in the past years, I also took a dietetics class.
I don't think you need to feel guilty for eating meat. No other meat-eating animal does. If someone told a lion or a dog or a bear to feel bad and guilty for eating meat, I would be very leery of that person.
Guilt in general is something made up to control people. Remorse is different, remorse is natural and helps us learn. But guilt is artificial and imposed from without.
Its a very etheric diet. Not impossible but there is a reason it is associated with meditation and advanced yoga (once the branches deal with transcendence and philosophy - why yoga had two categories - that for the "householder" and that for the devote facilitators)..... I was a vegan for many years at a tender age. Early twenties (I am a biological female). I was a devoted movement teacher (very active). I lived in the city (high stimulus). One needs a life with little loose ends to thrive, a life with little unpredictability and demands as the reserves for stress - simply aren't there on a vegan diet. And the further north you live (I am a Canadian) the less life giving the foods are as they are stored. If we look ancestrally in these regions, what did the people eat to sustain themselves? Usually starchy vegetables and they stretched the mammal sourced proteins by using the fat and organs. You sound as though you are burnt out, and turning it back on yourself as though you have a deficiency. You likely do not. You are at an age that your frontal cortex is stabilizing. Your executive area of your brain. The decision maker. Do yourself (as I did on the recommendation of a traditional chinese medicine doctor) and start including more local foods, with healthier fats and proteins into your diet. Give yourself the resources to regenerate. To this day it is my vegetarian friends who are the most anxious, depressed and depleted. They have poor tooth health. Weak hair. A low self image they are trying to correct with a sense of identity around what they do not eat. We may have energetic powers, but we are also ordinary humans. When I started eating fish and turkey (and eventually red meat) I felt how much more contained emotionally as well. One of the major lines of your vagus nerve is insulted in fat. You cannot build this on plant based fats alone. And with the ocean in the state it is in, land based animal sources are necessary. We need to be incredibly grateful for this. Starving ourselves drags us down and those around us. You are not meant to have zero impact. This is not possible. We are part of a cycle and circle of life, that includes, eating. I appreciate that you mention your eating disorder and send you love around that. I went to a vegan culinary school years ago and most of the people there had eating disorders. Quite serious ones (I suppose I did too, but I also wanted to be a super hero which makes me laugh a bit, I thought it would be my super power and beauty tonic). There is a book from the late 90's that might interest you: The Beauty Myth. About how culture convinces women to shrink at their own expense and how this effects our affect - and we internalize the issues we have that stem from starving ourselves that could simply be corrected with eating properly (but come with things like, taking up a bit more space, and making imperfect choices that are being marketed as vulgar).
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your story and very interesting life experiences Mia! You said a lot of truth and I also agree that only a certain lifestyle (I think about yogis and breatharians) can support such eating habits. You are very awakened, and I know you will keep on spreading your light on people! ♡ Keep shining Mia!
I am watching all of your videos, I have just discovered your beautiful channel...I was a vegetarian for 18 years and I realised I ruined my health...it took me a long time to accept listening to my body and making peace with my ethics...I am still trying to find a way to heal, on a lot of levels, it was not only my nutrition but emotional aspects of my life that needed healing...and I am still trying to understand how to be able, in the future to make the best choices for my own health and full well being while still doing my best to be close to the values I had and still cherish....I have learned that every body is different, and that there can also be a way that is not necessarily all or nothing to follow...sending you healing thoughts
The happyness doesn't always comes from food, unless you have an eating disorder. Plus, I am vegan for 14 years and my eating was improved by the variety of food that I discovered since I became vegan. Also my health was improved... If you eat vegan is more likely to eat less crap, so it can't be otherwise than better. I think our Vanilla was foggy in her head since she had a psychological disorder in her childhood and as she was 11 years old when she became vegan or vegetarian (I couldn' t understsnd exactly), she maybe was too little to know how to feed herself with proper and diverse plant-based food, so she was struggling with a conflict about eating well and the ethic problem of saving the animals... So I think she was never ok with her choice and that is why she felt it wasn't for her, because maybe her family or other people around never supported her. Finally she gave up and she needed to come back to the omni diet and accept the inacceptable, meaning the fact that pain is part of life, so she has just healed her trauma from her childhood.... This fullfiling was perceived as phisical recovery, escaping the foggy mind or the demaged brain, as she said. This is neither a scientific prove for anybody and nor a good model for others to follow. Sorry about her experience, but I think her psychological trauma is still there anyway.... The man can rise to much more than practicing stoicism in this world and that is the thrieve of the mind and the spirit over the matter and body. We can heal through inner light and we can also feed through spiritual light, in the same way that a plant can live with the sunlight or a mushroom can live and thrive with the darkness and humidity. Vegan living is the best! The future is vegan and everything is not vegan, it is just trauma, dealing with a trauma or primitivism which has not been overreached yet. Or maybe the foggy mind was just about B12 vitamin suplementing, even if this is uncertain, too, because there are vegan people who have never supplemented and they had no problem.
My sister felt better after she started eating vegan protein. Vitamins didn’t help. I’m sure she wasn’t getting enough protein at all.
Beautiful video. Watching, listening I can’t help thinking to Sartre’ theory that something strange happens when a person filled with being realises they’re being looked at by a person who they desire. They become aware that the person is looking at them, but they don’t know what they are seeing. But, because they want to be with that person, they make an approximation of what they think they are seeing, and try to become that. In this process they turn themselves into an object, contradicting the nature of being.
An hopeful and beautiful theory ♡
Thanks for the video…I’m a vegetarian 🌱 that eats 🐠 fish…stay safe and take care !!
Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me ♡
your videos are so soothing and beautiful. Thank you for being honest! Wishing all the best
I'm beyond happy my videos can bring you some peace within Tiago, thank YOU ♡ Much love to you!
I went through something similar to this. I am a pescatarian and I went a few years as a vegetarian but my body needed fish to become more healthy. I think because you eat with an understanding and work hard to care for what you eat, it makes it much better than how some people just eat whatever they want without a thought of the creatures, etc.
That's very true Justice!! Our body, our soul, they are the only ones who should get to decide what we eat. Because they, always act out of love and gratitude.
Thank you for sharing… I believe we all eat far too much meat and I think it would be better to have much less meat but a better quality when we do eat it. I’m struggling with my health at the moment after being Sick, i’m trying to get my energy levels back. As a 54-year-old it’s really important to take care off my health now 😊🇬🇧💕
You have made the right choice Suzanne. It sounds like sickness is behind you now, all you need is time to heal. I'm sending you a lot of light so you can shine again soon ♡
Very similar to me.. became vegetarian in childhood, and remained vegetarian (though ate mostly vegan food) for 17 years until recently. A lot of health issues cropped up over the years, especially chronic and unexplained fatigue. I took 10-15 supplements every day in an attempt to feel okay. I realised last year that this is not sustainable, and then finally started eating fish again one month ago. It was really difficult at first and I broke down crying several times out of guilt. But I can't deny that my health is improving, and my family says I look more alive now, a sparkle in my eyes. It's not easy, but we can't sacrifice ourselves when it doesn't work and we've tried everything to make it work. 😢 Some genes make it more difficult to be vegan/vegetarian, if your ancestors heavily relied on animal products in their diet (true for me, Scandinavian)
As long as you eat ethically caught fish, it’s okay darling.
But I understand the guilt, I went there.
After 2 years eating some fish here and there, I’m back to vegetarian eating as it feels RIGHT. and that’s all that matters - do what feels right to you 🤍
I’m so sorry you had to experience this. I couldn’t imagine having to switch to eating animals. It would be traumatic for me. I am fortunate bc I have been vegan for 5 strong years. There were a couple of moments where I was feeling off but thankfully solved it by cutting something out of my diet usually. Of course, in those moments because of the conditioning of the world I wondered if my body was lacking nutrition from just plants. So thankful that that wasn’t the case. Wishing you peace and health through your journey!
I am really happy you are still thriving on this diet my dear, that's wonderful for our friends the animals! ♡
It's not only about animal ethics, but also about the fact that animal agriculture is ruining the planet.
I'm also a pescetarian but I think the impact of meat on climate change is a topic we don't talk about enough.
I am from India and a strict vegetarian. I am sure that you switched on to vegetarianism without understanding your health, heredity and the climate. I feel you are from Sweden. A nation with 6months light and 6months darkness. Also I feel that you have switched on to vegetarianism after the age of 16. If yes then, your first mistake, you didn't think of your normal diet which is very much beef centric. You must gradually change your mind and food by understanding, whether you really liked it or not, whether it makes you feel healthy or not. And also, it seems that you don't know about the vegetarian food combination that should be taken for maintaining your health, inorder to remain healthy in the car northern countries. Equally true is the fact that there are vegetarians and vegans who don't get into such problems because they follow these steps while switching to vegetarianism. But anyway, as you have started eating fish along with veg food, you won't have any health issues. May god bless you with good health.
"i love animals more than humans." Me too, and that's putting it mildly.
when i was young i consumed the fishes,
then i stopped to cure my internal wishes.
it creped up like shadows I felt so dogey,
my body was weak the brain grew foggy.
after awhile i struggled and pondered,
it then became clearer what's needed to grow stronger.
dusted off my pole, when back to the river,
got over my fears and caught me some dinner.
took my first bite, it felt weird at first,
the miracles god gave from within I felt nursed.
That's a beautiful and brave story you're sharing Robert. I am glad you are feeling better now. ♡
