    On the theme of your channel helping people.
    I originally went vegan back in January 2014 after watching Earthlings. And I've been vegan ever since.
    But the original diet advice I took (for almost 2 years) was from freelee... as you can imagine it wasn't the best long term strategy 😅.
    If it wasn't for channels like yours introducing me vegan nutrition and where it can be lacking/needs supplementing, I bet there would've been at least one instance where I would've had a health issue arise from eating freelees diet, and even thought I'm vegan for the animals there's a good chance (like for alot of people) that it'd make me question being vegan.
    Yours is the only vegan channel I watch consistently and I love that there's always more to learn and you always bring up topics I might have otherwise never thought of.
    You're doing a fabulous job and I accredit you, at least to some extent, for me being able to make a structured, healthy and sustainable vegan diet.
    You're making a difference 💚

  • @Reznic007

    Yeah, the way you approach transitioning is the only reason I’m vegan. Every Vegan I’d met was “go cold turkey!! How could u not just cut it all out??” And as a huge meat and cheese lover that was just so daunting. But your approach of “every little bit counts” helped me try. And what do you know, I cut out like 98% of animal products right away anyway. The other little bit came from learning I had to read the ingredients for dumb things like MILK POWDER 😤🙄
    Anyway, good video, thanks again for the great content!

    Yeah I found it really hard to stay vegan, I was mostly doing it for the environment and health reasons and in the end both social pressure and difficulty getting adequate nutrition made me go back to eating animal products. I never went back to cooking with meat but I did eat it when going out. Right now I'm following a mostly vegan diet but with some eggs and dairy eventually. I'm glad you acknowledge that it's hard for people to stay vegan long term, your channel actually helped me stay "mostly vegan" instead of going all in with the animal products when I "fell off the wagon". I'm slowly seeing more and more vegan products in my part of the world so hopefully I can get an adequate vegan diet without as much effort as I needed before. Thanks again!

I just know that I feel strongly about avoiding animal products if I possibly can for ethical reasons, and that I still seem to be healthy and strong without them.

    Edit: I know it's neither here nor there, but I will kinda clarify that I eat fully vegan 95% of the time but also follow vegan ethics with regard to the other things I buy/wear/etc. The term plant-based is nuanced so I thought I'd clarify :)

      Obviously, its shitty that people get on others and make them feel bad. And obviously its hard to be vegan in a world that is not the most friendly to vegans and where abusing animals is the norm. But it is also valid to put out that doing an immoral thing 5% of the time is still immoral, right. Like if I was a serial killer "sometimes", I am still a serial killer. I am still murdering people, even if its only a bit, ya know. That's where people are coming from usually when they call out people for being plant based 95% of the time. Doesn't mean they should be abusive and cruel towards you or anyone, but the fundamental point is valid. Basically, I agree with the point, but not the method. May I ask, why you aren't plant based 100% of the time? All good if you don't want to share.

    Keep up the good work, Swayze. Thanks to your videos, I've been vegan now for 6 years. To be honest, I call myself an 'imperfect vegan', as I do sometimes eat something that has 1% milk powder or a little bit of butter in it. (mostly in social occasions. I think it's important to show people that I can still be vegan, that's not all-or-nothing.) I'd rather be imperfect and eat vegan meals, 99% of the time, then trying to be perfect. F*ck perfectionism - perfectionism is way too toxic. ;-)

    Well, your channel has helped me immensely.
    Thinking in terms of outcomes and consequences has allowed me to reduce my animal product consumption, whereas before, I felt like I had to go in the "right order" : first you stop red meat, then poultry, then fish, then dairy and eggs. It sounds stupid just to type this, but outcomes thinking allowed me to eliminate (for example) dairy milk just because it's easy and I don't miss it.
    Now I focus on whatever seems like low-hanging fruit in my personal diet, and eliminate whatever I think I won't miss first, instead of trying to so things in a preset order. Or I'll focus on making a meal vegan, or saving animal products for family dinner or a restaurant and being vegan at home when I'm the one cooking. Etc.
    So thanks.

    Going vegan has been quite a journey for me. There has never been a doubt in my mind that veganism is the right dietary choice for my personal health as well as the diet that aligns with my principals. I started my vegan journey in 2015 but over the years I called myself "mostly plant based" because it was hard to keep up with the diet for different reasons at different times. I can look back on those times and point out ways I could have stayed a "true vegan" in hindsight, but I choose not to be so harsh on my younger self. It can be a hard transition but you should be sure of your reasons.

    I feel like I have the best excuse and attitude in order to stay vegan long term. Note, I’ve had health issues as a vegan and persistent acne that did not get better through a vegan diet that could’ve knocked me off turning to other diets and options. I’ve been plantbased/meat-free for soon 10 yrs, would call myself vegan for 8 of them. My reason? I don’t like or want to handle cooking with meat. It’s just not an option to “go back” no matter if my life depended on it. I hate the smell of fish and eggs. I’ve never liked the taste of dairy. And I know the taste in meat is all about seasoning which I can replicate. I also follow what’s practical. If I’m traveling and vegan options on a restaurant is sparse. I will go with the vegetarian offer on the menu. 💁🏻‍♀️ I also allow myself one green card every birthday as vegan cakes and desserts are quite limiting where I live. After 10 yrs you just wish to buy something professionally made instead of baking it yourself you know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, I see myself doing more effort than most that I do think I deserve a break. And if someone doesn’t find me vegan enough than I feel bad for the unnecessary pressure that person puts on themselves and have to project onto everyone else.
    I also am more slack so I can sympathize and not get frustrated with everyone for not doing more.

    I'm not vegan, but yours and other vegan channels have helped me reduce a ton of my animal product consumption. And lately, it's been even less because jfc have you seen the prices out there? 5 bucks for a bucket of beans and rice or a lb of sad chicken breast - not a hard choice.

    I believe buying vegan products occasionally if you're not vegan could be better for veganism overall, than a 100% vegan that only buys fruits and vegetables.
    Look at the dairy/alternatives market, that wasn't just from vegans, it was from a lot of non-vegans that just picked a different option from the shelves.

      If your size fits (band being horizontal and not riding up your back as well es the gore of the bra laying against you chest but you do not have to pull the straps very short in order to not have a gap (that happens when the cups are to large and hence the straps hurt more).
      Next check where the straps are on your shoulder. I have found that putting them further out onto the shoulder so they do not dig into the muscle there is a lot more cormfortable. You might have to adjust the length of the straps for them to stay in that position. Mine often have a tendency to either fall off my shoulder or back onto the muscle.
