  • I talk about my animal protein psychology that kept me from going vegan sooner and then touch on the expert non-vegan stances on the subject as well as some liver inflammation protein dynamics.

    It's incredibly annoying when people say they tried "_the_ vegan diet" for two weeks, then had a burger or piece of poultry at the end and decide that veganism is just "not for everyone", "incompatible with their body" and go on about how necessary animal protein is.
    What do you even say to that? You say they're full of shit, they complain about vegans being mean, you say nothing and they keep on thinking such nonsense, you try to gently correct them and they get ultra defensive while digging their heels in deeper.
    Also, I like how even though you revisit a lot of the same topics you still manage to find a way to incorporate new infirmation and try to approach the subject from different angles. Keep it up!

      I was the same, then found Dr Greger's 'How not to die' translated into Swedish. Bought it, read and then lend it to my parents saying that they can choose to do whatever they like, but just do me the favour and read these few chapters... after two chapters that I picked for my mom of 69 who's been eating meat 5-7 days a week her entire life said: "I'm going to be a vegetarian!". Kid you not :)
      If it isn't available in your language, perhaps there is another very good book out there. This one has been by far the best one I've read though when it comes to convincing people that an unrefined vegan diet is vastly superior in every way. Even I who already knew that learned a lot of from it. Based on study, upon study, upon study - so no one can say it's biased.
      Good lucky Valeri!

  • @theatheistpaladin
    @theatheistpaladin 7 років тому +54

    Two last fun facts. One, Meat products are higher in the Amino Acid Methionine. While it is an essential Amino Acid, your body can only handle so much at one time, so it breaks it down. This break down leads to higher levels of Homocysteine which damages your arteries. Thus being a risk factor for heart disease. Two, Methionine also aids in the growth of cancers. Cancer cells have a high Methionine requirement. Would you like to feed cancer cells or starve them?

    My non-vegan cousin lives with a vegan, but because the vegan he lives with is short and skinny, he thinks he can't become buff on a vegan lifestyle. And the vegan he lives with don't even think he gets all the amino acids from his own vegan lifestyle either. They need this video. I just wished it had Norwegian subs so they could understand it more, as I'm afraid their English isn't quite advanced enough for all of this. But thanks Mic, I'll try to translate the best I can for them.

  • @NoExitLoveNow

    Someone recently tried to explain to me that people need heme iron. Otherwise, you will be anemic. Unclear why he was so certain in his assertion when there are so many healthy vegans (including vegan athletes). He explained that the anemia would show up on "deeper tests" without any evidence that these "deeper tests" exist (they don't) or why he would assert such a thing.
    Someone also tried to explain that animal proteins and vegetable proteins are processed by the body differently, and that plant proteins lack many essential amino acids that you get from animal proteins. He asserted confidently that I was slowly killing myself by not eating animal based proteins, and that he knew that because of Science.
    They are so confident of nonsensical things.

    I will never stop saying it. You're one of the best WFPB youtubers out there. So genuine and simple to follow. Could you make a video about eating animal products once in a while? I know Dr. Greger has some information about it on his website and mentions it in his talks but I haven't found an appropriate video to share with my family, they mainly eat WFPB but still eat animal products in small quantities, I know it stiffens their arteries everytime and it increases the risk of diseases, but should I worry?

    • @PatrykKarter
      @PatrykKarter 7 років тому +1

      Conscious Conscience I'm with you on this 100% , but this is a philosophical point of view. I, like you, see the wrong in killing an animal for pleasure food.
      But take my brother for example. He's older than me, I always looked up to him, he's a very wise person and is improving everyday. I've been WFPB vegan for only 4 months and he still sees it as a moment in my life where I'm just trying something extreme. I know I'll stay this way to the end of my life but I can't exclude what he is saying because I've felt this way about other things in the past and have been wrong some times. He i knows about the environmental impacts as well, but since he consumes meat once or twice a week he feels he's doing his fair share and at the same times consumes a "balanced" diet.

    Hello mic. Fantastic video as always. I love how you show evidence for your claims rather than saying random information and preaching it like it's true like how some other vegan UA-camrs do. You have really helped me. I've been vegan for a couple of months now, and I was previously vegetarian for 6 months. Your videos are always my go to for vegan knowledge and I really appreciate that you care to share the knowledge with the rest of us. THANK you! And one more thing. Can you consider making a video in the future for people who are allergic to fruit and vegetables. One of my friends, who is also lactose intolerant, says she has to eat meat because when she eats raw fruits and veggies it has the same effects of her drinking milk. The only way she can eat f&vs is if she "drowns them in salt" even if she is cooking with them.

      I have tried before but had pressure from my family. This will be a second start. It will be 4th week tomorrow. I am going to try again. It is encouraging to hear that it can be done! Thank you and congrats!

      You are so very welcome :* Best of luck to you! I live with parents who grew up in eastern Europe where animal product consumption is extremely heavy. They still pick on me to this day. They keep telling me "This isn't China, your way of eating is disgusting and restrictive, you're going to die from health problems, blah blah blah." I understand what it's like. I can't wait to eventually move out. (:

    Great that you shared your own hesitations and ignorance regarding a vegan diet. I think it's very helpful to people looking to get on board. Did you go straight to wfpb or did you have a "junk food" vegan period?

    I'm definitely not eating enough then. I'm guessing it's cause It's just not the norm for me yet , but I just don't feel like eating as much when I eat totally plant based. I feel like I starve myself unintentionally. But great info, this helps thank you!!!

  • @Devilsnowballs
    @Devilsnowballs 6 років тому

    Hey Mic can you do a video explaining your troubles transitioning to a plant based diet? I can definitely relate and I feel like many more people can. Giving up dairy seems to be the hardest because its in sooo much food like even most tomato soups.

    • @sallyjrwjrw6766
      @sallyjrwjrw6766 Рік тому

      Agree, dairy is in SO MUCH packaged foods! The key is to eat more whole foods. I've been trying to make more salads and Buddha bowls but it's hard for me to maintain because I gravitate towards opening a package.
      I know someone who does meal planning and batch cooking which seems like a good idea but I just put it off every weekend. I've also been considering a meal delivery service but I'm scared to commit.
      Reading my comment, it's easy to make excuses. 😆

    Protein is not even the question. I shoot up above daily requirements. Calcium is something I have to think about and put some extra effort to reach the daily goals.
