Change the world.....you've been sucked into a religious cult full of fairy tales and now they are brainwashing you hard. Get out while there is still time.
Chris Vandyke religious cult?? O no!! How did I miss that? Did they mention which god they make you believe in??? I swear, I didn't realize......well now that is *very* worrying!!
*Edit* Wow alot of poeple on here seem to care about how I was doing, I completely forgot about this comment. It has been 2 years and veganism is completely normal to me, my health is completely fine and I rarely ever get sick, my parents are more open to it now, both eating less meat although the still try to persuade me to have some eggs now and then. I always tell people that this is the best thing to ever happen to me. day 3 as a vegan- my mother says she is waiting for me to drop dead from malnutrition and my dad says 16 is too young,wait until you're old enough! I am kinda loosing my mind with everyone calling me crazy but im just going to keep on going.
I went vegetarian in 1974 when I was 15 and many people criticised me. But I stuck to it and went vegan in 1993. I'll be 60 in a couple of months and look 40. I've run nearly every day since 1986 and am still smashing it. I am lean, super fit and have a resting heart rate of 48. Everyone who laughed at me back in 1974 is definitely not laughing at me now. You stick to this diet and your life will become sublime.
I'm so happy for your change! 😘 I went vegan overnight and when I told my mom she screamed at me like "what do you want to eat then, I can't cook like that" blabla and it took about 1-2 weeks before she started supporting me. Now 5 months later she cooks 100% vegan meals everyday, my sister went vegan and even if she would still eat a dead body when going out, she knows that I do the right thing + it is healthier! So why not support my decision? Good luck to you! :)
I'm vegan and I still get ugly looks when people find out. They just don't understand how great it is to be vegan. Sad how close-minded people still are. Never would think it is 2018.
Now that I moved to Cologne, evrybody just nods or says "cool", no awkward looks anymore. And Berlin is THE CITY for vegans, they have more and more start-up enterprises every year that create new vegan products, tons of vegan restaurants, etc. I'm enjoying it a lot.
@Cali Girl there is the issue of vegan politics. It is not the best philosophy out there - far from it. There are things like ahimsa or non violence and there is situationalism where we act out of the greatest love on a case by case basis. There are also immense issues if you try to apply the definition of veganism in law and politics. It will wreak havoc. A vegan political climate would be hell. I would need to write you several essays to elaborate and show examples... even political science students won't get it without that. It is a serious roadblock people are going to be hitting this century - that veganism isn't good policy.
@@agnidas5816 Yet we know it is and eating animals simply is not right. The agricultural industry is cruel beyond words. Right there is reason to stop eating our fur friends.
I would have added James Aspey who went from cancer sufferer to vegetarian to vegan and now one of the world's advocates alongside Joey and earthling Ed.
not pccorrect I lost 25 lbs by going vegan as well! It MELTED off. I didn’t even have to hit the gym. I just ate Whole Foods and avoided soda and “junk”.
@John Plum wow!!!! I applaud you and the God given knowledge that He's bestowed upon you. I have never read a comment soooo long. God sent me to your comment. I don't like labels except for being a 7th day Adventist, but I don't eat meat or dairy and it's been 5years. I always say if I can stop eating meat anyone can that's how much I ate meat. I've been laxed and dabbling with the fish sauce on my food. I've just been checked and will retreat. Thank you for that testimony!!!!
i have studied biochemistry and physiology, and biochemistry is what it is. But physiology is loaded with reflections that emanate from those multinationals who sponsor medical universities. I got pissed with that: there is calcium in milk, they wrote in their books. Alright, but does this mean that this calcium is assimilable by us? of course not. I liked the reflection of this man who said, and how could we trust the FDA? though i have studied i just don't know if it's good or not for my health to be vegan. But what I know, is that it's good for the animals. So i do it. Vegetarian since 1994 (i was 42 years old), vegan since 2009 (i was 57), i am still full of energy, i work a lot, continue studying... have a very active life. I only have one regret, I was not vegan earlier!
I applaud those people overcoming their addictions, while doing something good in return at the same time. Honestly, it inspires me million times more than any weight loss.
I am 2 weeks into my Vegan journey...I am still so shocked as to how different I feel in just 2 weeks. I am really excited about taking back control of my health, my body, and my life. I am 41 so it's never too late!
I’m 55 now ! All I want is to be healthy! To be lean! I’m still learning how to do it! I eat eaither oatmeal or whole grain cereal with walnuts ! Fruit smoothies
It needs to be pointed out that one of the most amazing changes resulting from a plant based diet is the spiritual transformation which happens regardless of one's culture or tradition.
I agreed to do a month of eating vegan to support my vegetarian niece who wanted to try it. That was July 2020 and I haven't looked back because of how I felt inside. It changed me. I love it. Side benefit, down 70 + lbs without trying.
Janice Rockenbaugh watch cutting out things with gluten. If you notice you feel unwell when you eat glutenous food, you should talk to a doctor as you could have either coeliac disease or something like fructose malabsorption, which needs treatment other than the exclusion of gluten. Gluten-free eating is only necessary for those with a diagnosed intolerance or allergy and excluding foods with it because of a trend can lead to excluding nutritious food.
Going Vegan is one of the greatest things I have done in my life, for many reasons. I am a non-typical vegan...55, conservative politically...but I love animals and love my health.
Charles Moore ....When it comes down to it....We all want to live a healthy, happy life with our families and friends....cruelty free...which grants us peace of mind, longevity and a positive outlook....I have definitely become more spiritual, and accepting of others since becoming vegan...
@Clarissa 1986 Well watch the oxford papers. There are no meta analysis with more evidence at the moment. You can see less animals are killed in a vegan Diet and it causes less harm 2 our environment. And also you can see which group of people are living longer. Not the paleo keto or omnivorous people btw.
I lost 20kgs on a vegan diet with barely any exercise, my skin cleared up, my brain fog cleared up from depression and i felt SOOO AMAZING inside.. it improved my happiness because my body felt alot healthier and fresher.. i basically decided to give it a go because it was my last resort to loose weight after trying everything and then developing an eating disorder.. it helped alot with my eating disorder and depression
Oh, yes, lost 25+ (I am still loosing) lbs and at my perfect BMI, but I am still loosing, and no not starving, I eat a ton of foods each day, but the right foods!!!!! Praise the L-rd for all healing!
It is amazing we eat right and the weight just falls off! No calorie counting, food measurements, pills, or anything else that never works (or maybe works for a short time). This is a lifestyle and once we get healthy, we never go back!
Hello I've noticed that several people don't completely say God or Lord. Such as in your comment. I was just curious as to what's the reason ? Thank you😊
This is used our of respect, reverence, and fear of the L-rd. This message or a written message can be erased or thrown away. I don't want to do that to the title (not his name - no one knows that - even the Jews) of G-d which is holy. :) Thank you for asking, I had to learn, now y'all know.
i really want to change my life style which was packed with fast and junk food. vegan for me seems too extreme and expensive. it really is expensive.. so whay do you eat for breakfasy and dinnef? any recommendation
I have been a vegetarian (not vegan since i consume dairy) my entire life. Never a single health problem for the last 45 years of my life. I don't even get a cold, cough or fever:) My whole family, including relatives and many friends have always been vegetarians. My dad is 75 and in tip-top shape (infact looks like he is 40year old, since he has been doing regular yoga and intense weight training for 2-3 hours at home, not even a gym, for the last 40 years). My mom is equally healthy. Grandma lived till 90, not a single health issue (did not even eat egg, in fact hated it). Our diet only consists of dairy, egg, whole grains, lentils, fruits and vegetables. My cooking only consists of 1 kind of lentil, 1 or 2 kinds of vegetables, maybe 1 fruit and tortilla/rice everyday. No smoothies ever. So anyone out there thinking of becoming a vegan or vegetarian, go ahead. you'll be fine. You will live a great healthy life. In fact you will save your body, your money (gosh meat is expensive!!) and the planet in the process.
I will be 60 FEEL GREAT LOOK 40!!!! JUST GO VEGAN FOR ONE MONTH AND SEE HOW YOU LOOK AND FEEL THEN DECIDE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GO BACK TO EATING ANIMAL PRODUCTS!!!!! You won't! :) G-d bless!
In 2010 I was diagnosed with CHF. Then I quit ALL processed, fast, junk, salt, and sugar (foods). I ate chicken and fish. 2016 I got a new caridologist who told me to go plant based, I did not listen. I was doing OK, but it was when my church practiced the Daniel Fast in January this year, I went on it. I never stopped after the 21 days. My doctor is very pleased, and I got off all of my blood pressure meds, lost over 25 lbs, and reversed my heart disease. I am finishing my healing treatment at Global Cardio Care with EECP treatments. I give all the honor, glory and thanks to the L-rd our creator G-d for my healing.
Give the glory to yourself, you did the work! Thanks for this info as I just turned 50 and was raised vegetarian but have eaten badly the last 25 yrs. I have no known health issues (perfect BP, cholesterol etc) but I'm 70 pounds over weight and been told my luck will run out now that I'm middle aged. I have been using the excuse that at 50 it's too late but clearly not if you did it, no more excuses. Thanks again
I dream of a day when kids will never see any of their elders eating animal products. Wen they r taught in schools that animal foods cause cancer. Earth wud have turned iinto heaven by that time. Please Lord, reincarnate me on that earth again.
I know you guys do it often, and credit when credit is due, but dam it made me really happy to see such a strong ethical vegan highlight in this video. Go Joey!
@Clarissa 1986 Haha, the only imbacille here is you. Luv n hugs from a non malnourished 200 pound 6 foot tall vegan firefighter. PS I think you need to do some research into your diet and anger issues
IF ANYONE HAS ANY SORT OF MEDICAL PROBLEM , AND THEIR DOCTOR DOESN'T PUT THEM ON A VEGAN-FRUITARIAN DIET AS THE FIRST COURSE OF ACTION - GET OUT OF THAT DOCTORS OFFICE !
@@josie3221, A vegan diet is wonderful and civilized , but if someone is really sick , or has been badly hurt , a fruitarian diet will help them heal faster and better - IT'S MIRACULOUS !
Well a lot of doctors get encouraged by drug reps etc. to keep prescriping and it's up to the patient being alert enough to ask more questions before going on meds.
A fruitarian diet is severely lacking in nutrients. Add some raw sweet potatoes, sprouted chickpeas (not sprouts but sprouted) and leafy greens as well as onions and sunflower seeds. Those are all good to eat raw and are typically grown in more sustainable ways than almonds and what-not. Make salad out of finely shredded beets, carrots and apples together - add more apples and it tastes sweet while giving you lots of easy to eat beets. Don't stray away from veggies like that ... you are hurting yourself. Removing self harm is not part of veganism unfortunately ... veganism is far from the best approach to life.
This is truth! I became vegan, I am an epileptic. I pushed my wheelchair away, crawled, got out of my diapers, traied myself to eat after 8 days of vegetative tourretic seizuring and 1 yes later 7 epileptic seizures, so not two weeks after the epileptic seizures, I said no more, at 298.9 lbs, hypocalemia, diabetes 2, Bradycardia, I went vegetarian. In 8-1/2 months I lost 167 ls, but was afraid to eat and became anorexic. So, I went vegan, I eat all day now, I'm 64 in 4 months, can wear bikini jeans, tight T-shirts, beautiful skin, look close to late 40's, totally changed my life. I walk at least 6 miles a day because I still have horrible vertigo. I do not let that stop me from ballet nor hip hop in jazz dancing at home at least 2 hrs a day as I've been a determined dancer all my life. Thank you for this video. It is wonder to see how veganism has changed other people's lives. I do go off the wagon for whole milk though and sparkling water. I have witnesses for my life story and pictures to keep reminders to show myself and other people what I have been through, what determination can do, and if an epileptic can go through this and put their selves through this much pain and fear and phobias and take the chance of vegetating and seizuring and never coming back just to be a normal person again and healthy that anyone can do it.
Hello Klaus....just a passionate vegan and vegan activist from New York who loves the content of this channel, Earthling Ed, Footsoldier, Nutritionfacts.org, etc......I am a member of several Anonymous for the Voiceless groups (Long Island, NY/Manhattan, Queens; I might be attending the June 10th Cube in NYC, btw).....I haven't made any youtube videos lately, alhtough I would like to, just trying to figure out a unique approach to making vegan videos....haven't quite figured it out yet, but hope to....in the meantime, I am more active (in terms of posting) on Instagram @vegan_for_the_animals_1 .....keep up the great content! I'm loving the vegan community here on UA-cam and Instagram....if you're ever in New York, I would definitely try to make plans to meet up with the PBN crew, as well as other UA-camrs (although I'm not directly in NY City, I do travel).....peace ! Danny
I’m becoming plant based this year. I want the health benefits. As I watch this video I have two sayings rattling around my head. “People who can’t control their emotions resort to controlling other people’s behaviour.” And “There is a difference between judgement and discernment; discernment is about me and what’s right for me. Judgement is about them”
I've been on a plant based diet for over 4 years now and my 3rd stage kidney disease in not progressing hardly at all. My nephrologist says that I am his only patient who has done this. Also, studies have shown that meat contributes to colon cancer and my doctors have lauded me for my diet as well. Go for it!
Good for you for coming to this awareness! My reason for going vegan too, over 4 years ago, vegetarian for 10, feel so much better! I cook a big pot of food every day of organic carbs (rice/potatoes/yams or whatever unprocessed carbs you like) and protein (dried beans/lentils/split peas/quinoa or similar), about 50/50 carbs/protein ratio. Bring to boil and then simmer 20-30 minutes until soft. Smaller beans don't need presoaking and cook pretty quickly, can cook everything in the same pot if approximately same cooking time needed. Or start beans first and add faster cooking grains etc halfway through. When done, add a spoonful or two of organic coconut oil like sesame or coconut, some sea salt and spices if you want. Veggies too if you want. I eat a couple big bowls of this twice a day, plus lots of organic fresh fruit, raw nuts and some veggies. I think the biggest mistake new vegans make is not getting enough carbs and proteins as well as oils and healthy fats, so they are still hungry soon after meals. Also the volume of food might be more than used to because it takes more rice and beans to get full and satisfied. Listening to my body helped me with this tremendously. Hope this helps, very excited for you!
Just start by rating more fruits and veggies and only tiny pieces of meat unless you want to just quit cold turkey. are injected with too many hormones and antibiotics which we then ingest, as well as the high adrenaline and cortisol when they’re being slaughtered .
You start slowly. In order to diminish the powerful positive impact eating a plant-based diet has on health, animals and the environment, meat eaters will call it a cult to create fear by creating fear they want people discouraged from experiencing it themselves and making their bown decisions about it. Frankly vegans could call meat-eaters a cult with blood of millions of animals on their hands, what blood is on the hands of any vegan? None. However l won't do that l will just say they are not conscious enough to understand the suffering they are participating in.
Dr. Brooke Goldner would have been a good entry from a strictly health standpoint. She fought a tough battle with Lupus and literally cured herself through a WFPB diet. Very inspiring. One idea for a future video would be to share some stories submitted by viewers.
I’m about 5 to 6 years into my vegan journey, and I couldn’t love my way of eating more. If I could, I would convince every one of my family and friends to adopt a plant based way of life. I’m overweight, only because I can’t get enough exercise due to physical disabilities, which I’m working towards overcoming.
I don't understand the two examples who were vegan since birth or childhood. How does their "transformation" have anything to do with veganism, if they were already vegans?
I think it is amazing that they remained vegan from childhood. They absolutely are an example to the younger generations. This vulnerable and information absorbing population can continue this sustainable movement.
My only problem with my vegan life is the "all the nutrients that you need" concept ....I started losing my hair because of the B12 deficiency that I acquired after being vegan after 10 months. Make sure that when you promote the vegan (plant based) diet that you also promote the need to add B12, Omega 3, Vitamin D and Calcium to the diet. My health food store has a great variety of vegan supplements that helped me tremendously. I didn't have anyone that advised me of the requirements.....I did it on my own 😃 #VeganForLife
Brittany Flowerday the problem is that many people don't know that. They go vegan without complete information and they do have issues when they make the switch. So they end up switching back.
Short Zumba Workouts With Camille Exactly.....but I'll never go back 😊. I've never felt better and I'm so happy to know that I'm helping the environment and not harming any other living beings. Good luck on your journey!!!💚🌱
I love the great transformations happening. I have not eaten meat for 45 tears now I am vegan and I am teaching Nutrition workshops in my yoga studio helping people to detox and go to a plant based diet. Please keep making videos like that, to help more people see and open their hearts to not kill animals anymore!
DAMN!!! the first girl looks great, nina. Before it look like ground beef trying to come out her skin. Anyways, WPBF did wonders for me as well. I was a flabby woman with over size hips, too much ass , too much breast cus the hormones in meat and dairy, my face was chubby with toddler cheeks, had a pilsbury dough back and a bean bag stomach!! I was hideous!!!!!! went vegan wpbf life syle change and you wouldnt even reconise me. LOL. Its like rosie odonell changed over to jessica biel!!! LOL. YES GO VEGAN PLEASE. you will become beautiful or more beautiful inside out. Think of your organs playing the organ!! a happy tune though..... Lmbo( PEACE!!
3 day vegan here:) lost 5lbs so far (I run daily and workout w weights too) I already feel so good!! I have an incredible amount of energy and gas lololol hoping to sustain this lifestyle🥰❤️
I think when it comes to health, the best you can do is to eat healthy, a lot of fruits and vegetables. Plant-based is a very good way of eating, but there are a lot of vegan junk food. If you want to eat healthy avoid the junk no matter if it's vegan or not. And if you want to be vegan, for other reasons than health. Than go for it!
Will I am has said what I told every doctor I have ever spoken to since I turned 50, and they say they don’t trust nutrition and I don’t trust the FDA! Way to go will!
Use to have a negative view of vegetarians until I experienced multiple gout flares on a monthly basis for 6 months. Finally made the life style change. My uric acid levels are now under control and no more flare up. My skin cleared up and noticed that my eczema is gone also. Lost 35lbs and feeling great.
Thanks for the video. Loved every one of them. The one that resonated most with me was Will.I. Am. I had a doctor tell me very much the same thing and I knew differently from having taken a nutrition course in college. You are what you "eat" not the pill the Dr. Prescribes.
loVed the video 'Plant Based News'!! I've been vegetarian for years (since the age of 27 and I'm now 61); but, went FULL VEGAN the beginning of 2017 ... have never felt better!! GO FOR IT!! You have nothing to lose; and, many more animals may not have to lose their lives.
I'm vegan 7 years in my 67. I feel perfectly than i was 30-40 years. You are doing amazing job for many people. Don't give up. Thanks a lot. Dr Alona Ross.
This is one of the most inspirational videos I have ever seen about people who have gone Vegan. I will share it on fb and on a Vegan Calling page I am in. Its so positive and gosh...what amazing people. What incredible changes and makes happy tears flow. :-) Thank you so much for all the work and people involved in this. Love you.
👍the "lost direction human world" will change sooner with your relentless "truth revealing" stories! You are a "bodhisattva" in Buddhist language. Keep it up with your loving kindness good works! Let's live in peace and harmony with all sentient beings and the Nature and save this planet!
Great idea about vegan transformations.These are some of the people who are promoting veganism, I'd love to see a regular segment about what other vegan people are doing too.
This was a fantastic video, well edited and presented. Congratulations on the success of your channel and thank you for spreading the word about plant-based nutrition.
God this is gonna be a challenge but it’s worth it. I deserve to be happy. I deserve to have energy. I feel so much better when I’m eating fruits 🍎 🍉 and veggies 🌶 🌽
Will I Am reminded me of my story. My pain doctor told me water and healthier food wouldn't help my pain, but he wanted me on epidural steroid injections and pain meds. Huge red flag. Since then, I set out to heal my cervical spine. It will take time. But, I'm not quitting. I've been plant based for one year now. I love how I feel. Pain made me stronger. 💜💪
For some ppl been vegan is just a fashion to me been vegan is my whole life I want to die vegan. 5 years been vegan for the animals. Please go vegan for life.
There is a documentary on Netflix called “Game Changers”, about athletes who became vegans and they are stronger now. It’s very rationally explained great movie. Suggest to watch it for who is interested

C E SAME!!! It’s shocking to think that Drs say “take this pill” rather than “eat this, not that”
@@BRINpeterson Not all doctors specialize in nutrition, they specialize in medicine. But the good ones will put you in touch with a good nutritionist.
I'm down 65 pounds and I'm a little over 3 months into being vegan. And I've decided I'm never changing back!
Wow amazing weight loss! Well done.
Charles Dowling ....You are saving your own health....and in the process saving the animals....beautiful!
Wow that is epic!
You do this without exercises?
That’s amazing. Do you exercise? And what was your starting?
Thanks for the feature brother. It’s been a hard road but I’m grateful I had a second chance. Much love to you and your team ✌️

Wow alot of poeple on here seem to care about how I was doing, I completely forgot about this comment. It has been 2 years and veganism is completely normal to me, my health is completely fine and I rarely ever get sick, my parents are more open to it now, both eating less meat although the still try to persuade me to have some eggs now and then. I always tell people that this is the best thing to ever happen to me.
day 3 as a vegan- my mother says she is waiting for me to drop dead from malnutrition and my dad says 16 is too young,wait until you're old enough!
I am kinda loosing my mind with everyone calling me crazy but im just going to keep on going.
keep at it, its the right choice! i went vegan overnight almost 3 years ago and never looked back ;)
That's crazy. It's never too soon, or too late!

@Cali Girl there is the issue of vegan politics. It is not the best philosophy out there - far from it. There are things like ahimsa or non violence and there is situationalism where we act out of the greatest love on a case by case basis.
There are also immense issues if you try to apply the definition of veganism in law and politics. It will wreak havoc. A vegan political climate would be hell. I would need to write you several essays to elaborate and show examples... even political science students won't get it without that. It is a serious roadblock people are going to be hitting this century - that veganism isn't good policy.

I am 2 weeks into my Vegan journey...I am still so shocked as to how different I feel in just 2 weeks. I am really excited about taking back control of my health, my body, and my life. I am 41 so it's never too late!
I'm 35 😁👏👏👏
add in Irish sea moss to your dietary....
I’m 55 now ! All I want is to be healthy! To be lean! I’m still learning how to do it! I eat eaither oatmeal or whole grain cereal with walnuts ! Fruit smoothies
It needs to be pointed out that one of the most amazing changes resulting from a plant based diet is the spiritual transformation which happens regardless of one's culture or tradition.
💯 thats my favourite part
This , I think is the hidden advantage!
I agreed to do a month of eating vegan to support my vegetarian niece who wanted to try it. That was July 2020 and I haven't looked back because of how I felt inside. It changed me. I love it. Side benefit, down 70 + lbs without trying.
Ive been slowly cutting out things with gluten, meat or any dairy for the past 3 weeks and ive already seen a difference and i feel great.
Janice Rockenbaugh watch cutting out things with gluten. If you notice you feel unwell when you eat glutenous food, you should talk to a doctor as you could have either coeliac disease or something like fructose malabsorption, which needs treatment other than the exclusion of gluten. Gluten-free eating is only necessary for those with a diagnosed intolerance or allergy and excluding foods with it because of a trend can lead to excluding nutritious food.
Going Vegan is one of the greatest things I have done in my life, for many reasons.
I am a non-typical vegan...55, conservative politically...but I love animals and love my health.
Charles Moore ....When it comes down to it....We all want to live a healthy, happy life with our families and friends....cruelty free...which grants us peace of mind, longevity and a positive outlook....I have definitely become more spiritual, and accepting of others since becoming vegan...
Very cool.
Nice to meet you, CM🍃
I'm a Conservative Vegan as well😊 ..
Lori Littel
Hi Lori, nice to know you. I don’t know any other conservative Vegans.
rich rolls transformation never ceases to amaze , great choice for no 1 too !
Just a shame that Rich is not vegan.
“Lettuce know who you wish you’d seen...”
LOL! Sorry, couldn’t stop myself.
Vegan Is the best lifestyle. I love the food and the way it makes me feel. I also like that no animals have suffered on my plate.
@Clarissa 1986 Well watch the oxford papers. There are no meta analysis with more evidence at the moment. You can see less animals are killed in a vegan Diet and it causes less harm 2 our environment. And also you can see which group of people are living longer. Not the paleo keto or omnivorous people btw.
I lost 20kgs on a vegan diet with barely any exercise, my skin cleared up, my brain fog cleared up from depression and i felt SOOO AMAZING inside.. it improved my happiness because my body felt alot healthier and fresher.. i basically decided to give it a go because it was my last resort to loose weight after trying everything and then developing an eating disorder.. it helped alot with my eating disorder and depression
Mo r good for youu
Thank you for the honour!
Thank you for giving your voice to the Voiceless 💙
You couldn't have picked a better winner, I have mad respect for Joey.
I’ve been vegan for 9 days now. Awesome! Even lost 2 pounds!
Vegan 🌱 5 years and counting.....
so many health complaints solved!
Plant-Powered and NEW subscriber!
Oh, yes, lost 25+ (I am still loosing) lbs and at my perfect BMI, but I am still loosing, and no not starving, I eat a ton of foods each day, but the right foods!!!!! Praise the L-rd for all healing!
I've also lost 25 pounds so far!! Vegan weight loss for the win!
It is amazing we eat right and the weight just falls off! No calorie counting, food measurements, pills, or anything else that never works (or maybe works for a short time). This is a lifestyle and once we get healthy, we never go back!
Hello I've noticed that several people don't completely say God or Lord. Such as in your comment. I was just curious as to what's the reason ? Thank you😊
This is used our of respect, reverence, and fear of the L-rd. This message or a written message can be erased or thrown away. I don't want to do that to the title (not his name - no one knows that - even the Jews) of G-d which is holy. :) Thank you for asking, I had to learn, now y'all know.
i really want to change my life style which was packed with fast and junk food. vegan for me seems too extreme and expensive. it really is expensive.. so whay do you eat for breakfasy and dinnef? any recommendation

Hurray for including Chef AJ! She is an incredible person and such a wonderful activist for health and for animals. Love her!

I agree. She is so lovely.

I have been a vegetarian (not vegan since i consume dairy) my entire life. Never a single health problem for the last 45 years of my life. I don't even get a cold, cough or fever:) My whole family, including relatives and many friends have always been vegetarians. My dad is 75 and in tip-top shape (infact looks like he is 40year old, since he has been doing regular yoga and intense weight training for 2-3 hours at home, not even a gym, for the last 40 years). My mom is equally healthy. Grandma lived till 90, not a single health issue (did not even eat egg, in fact hated it).
Our diet only consists of dairy, egg, whole grains, lentils, fruits and vegetables. My cooking only consists of 1 kind of lentil, 1 or 2 kinds of vegetables, maybe 1 fruit and tortilla/rice everyday. No smoothies ever.
So anyone out there thinking of becoming a vegan or vegetarian, go ahead. you'll be fine. You will live a great healthy life. In fact you will save your body, your money (gosh meat is expensive!!) and the planet in the process.
Very well put!
Whau really inspiring examples from all kinds of different problemets into much better health and energy - I was really impressed by them all
God bless vegans!!!!!
I will be 60 FEEL GREAT LOOK 40!!!! JUST GO VEGAN FOR ONE MONTH AND SEE HOW YOU LOOK AND FEEL THEN DECIDE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GO BACK TO EATING ANIMAL PRODUCTS!!!!! You won't! :) G-d bless!
What??
Read it all there in the Bible. G-d bless you!!!
How long ago did you go vegan?
In 2010 I was diagnosed with CHF. Then I quit ALL processed, fast, junk, salt, and sugar (foods). I ate chicken and fish. 2016 I got a new caridologist who told me to go plant based, I did not listen. I was doing OK, but it was when my church practiced the Daniel Fast in January this year, I went on it. I never stopped after the 21 days. My doctor is very pleased, and I got off all of my blood pressure meds, lost over 25 lbs, and reversed my heart disease. I am finishing my healing treatment at Global Cardio Care with EECP treatments. I give all the honor, glory and thanks to the L-rd our creator G-d for my healing.
Give the glory to yourself, you did the work! Thanks for this info as I just turned 50 and was raised vegetarian but have eaten badly the last 25 yrs. I have no known health issues (perfect BP, cholesterol etc) but I'm 70 pounds over weight and been told my luck will run out now that I'm middle aged. I have been using the excuse that at 50 it's too late but clearly not if you did it, no more excuses. Thanks again
I love joey carbstrong and wha he does for the animals .. he is a hero!!..
It was a treat to see Joey as No. 1 =D
@Clarissa 1986 your just jealous his got more compassion then you
I am pescatarian with limited dairy and it has made my body feel much better. I definitely think a plant based diet is the way to go.
I dream of a day when kids will never see any of their elders eating animal products. Wen they r taught in schools that animal foods cause cancer.
Earth wud have turned iinto heaven by that time. Please Lord, reincarnate me on that earth again.
I know you guys do it often, and credit when credit is due, but dam it made me really happy to see such a strong ethical vegan highlight in this video. Go Joey!
THE WORLD IS CHANGING
YES
Nope; some people are changing but not for long...
@Clarissa 1986 Haha, the only imbacille here is you. Luv n hugs from a non malnourished 200 pound 6 foot tall vegan firefighter.
PS I think you need to do some research into your diet and anger issues
@Clarissa 1986 you sound like a very angry person. maybe too much meat in your diet
Joey carbstrong number one.................... OF COURSE!
IF ANYONE HAS ANY SORT OF MEDICAL PROBLEM , AND THEIR DOCTOR DOESN'T PUT THEM ON A VEGAN-FRUITARIAN DIET AS THE FIRST COURSE OF ACTION - GET OUT OF THAT DOCTORS OFFICE !
frutarianism makes veganism look extreme. a wfpb vegan diet is realistic and life changing.
@@josie3221, A vegan diet is wonderful and civilized , but if someone is really sick , or has been badly hurt , a fruitarian diet will help them heal faster and better - IT'S MIRACULOUS !
Well a lot of doctors get encouraged by drug reps etc. to keep prescriping and it's up to the patient being alert enough to ask more questions before going on meds.
@@lavie4485 , sometimes illness makes are ability to cope and even to think very difficult !
A fruitarian diet is severely lacking in nutrients. Add some raw sweet potatoes, sprouted chickpeas (not sprouts but sprouted) and leafy greens as well as onions and sunflower seeds. Those are all good to eat raw and are typically grown in more sustainable ways than almonds and what-not. Make salad out of finely shredded beets, carrots and apples together - add more apples and it tastes sweet while giving you lots of easy to eat beets.
Don't stray away from veggies like that ... you are hurting yourself. Removing self harm is not part of veganism unfortunately ... veganism is far from the best approach to life.
This is truth! I became vegan, I am an epileptic. I pushed my wheelchair away, crawled, got out of my diapers, traied myself to eat after 8 days of vegetative tourretic seizuring and 1 yes later 7 epileptic seizures, so not two weeks after the epileptic seizures, I said no more, at 298.9 lbs, hypocalemia, diabetes 2, Bradycardia, I went vegetarian. In 8-1/2 months I lost 167 ls, but was afraid to eat and became anorexic. So, I went vegan, I eat all day now, I'm 64 in 4 months, can wear bikini jeans, tight T-shirts, beautiful skin, look close to late 40's, totally changed my life. I walk at least 6 miles a day because I still have horrible vertigo. I do not let that stop me from ballet nor hip hop in jazz dancing at home at least 2 hrs a day as I've been a determined dancer all my life. Thank you for this video. It is wonder to see how veganism has changed other people's lives. I do go off the wagon for whole milk though and sparkling water. I have witnesses for my life story and pictures to keep reminders to show myself and other people what I have been through, what determination can do, and if an epileptic can go through this and put their selves through this much pain and fear and phobias and take the chance of vegetating and seizuring and never coming back just to be a normal person again and healthy that anyone can do it.
congrats now
This will be epic....ps, luv the greenscreen background and overall look of the video, good stuff
thanks as ever for the continued support. could you explain a little about who you are? we really appreciate the support. ~Klaus
Hello Klaus....just a passionate vegan and vegan activist from New York who loves the content of this channel, Earthling Ed, Footsoldier, Nutritionfacts.org, etc......I am a member of several Anonymous for the Voiceless groups (Long Island, NY/Manhattan, Queens; I might be attending the June 10th Cube in NYC, btw).....I haven't made any youtube videos lately, alhtough I would like to, just trying to figure out a unique approach to making vegan videos....haven't quite figured it out yet, but hope to....in the meantime, I am more active (in terms of posting) on Instagram @vegan_for_the_animals_1 .....keep up the great content! I'm loving the vegan community here on UA-cam and Instagram....if you're ever in New York, I would definitely try to make plans to meet up with the PBN crew, as well as other UA-camrs (although I'm not directly in NY City, I do travel).....peace ! Danny
I’m becoming plant based this year. I want the health benefits.
As I watch this video I have two sayings rattling around my head.
“People who can’t control their emotions resort to controlling other people’s behaviour.”
And
“There is a difference between judgement and discernment; discernment is about me and what’s right for me.
Judgement is about them”
Great list and very inspiring. Klaus, you are my new hero!
I will be vegan from Monday 2nd September 2019 for the love and compassion of animals.
Health and physical benefits will be a bonus 👍🏻
Good job Derek.
I've been on a plant based diet for over 4 years now and my 3rd stage kidney disease in not progressing hardly at all. My nephrologist says that I am his only patient who has done this. Also, studies have shown that meat contributes to colon cancer and my doctors have lauded me for my diet as well. Go for it!
Raised in a Mexican tradition house grew up eating nothing but meat now I’m on my vegan journey 2 weeks in
Vegan just shy from last Christmas 2019 at 223 pounds down to 205 so far it works guys never going back
congrats
"If you eat suffering and death..it becomes you." That is so profound! And it is physically true. How do I begin to go vegan?
@Clarissa 1986 you fat huh?
Good for you for coming to this awareness! My reason for going vegan too, over 4 years ago, vegetarian for 10, feel so much better! I cook a big pot of food every day of organic carbs (rice/potatoes/yams or whatever unprocessed carbs you like) and protein (dried beans/lentils/split peas/quinoa or similar), about 50/50 carbs/protein ratio. Bring to boil and then simmer 20-30 minutes until soft. Smaller beans don't need presoaking and cook pretty quickly, can cook everything in the same pot if approximately same cooking time needed. Or start beans first and add faster cooking grains etc halfway through. When done, add a spoonful or two of organic coconut oil like sesame or coconut, some sea salt and spices if you want. Veggies too if you want. I eat a couple big bowls of this twice a day, plus lots of organic fresh fruit, raw nuts and some veggies. I think the biggest mistake new vegans make is not getting enough carbs and proteins as well as oils and healthy fats, so they are still hungry soon after meals. Also the volume of food might be more than used to because it takes more rice and beans to get full and satisfied. Listening to my body helped me with this tremendously. Hope this helps, very excited for you!
Just start by rating more fruits and veggies and only tiny pieces of meat unless you want to just quit cold turkey. are injected with too many hormones and antibiotics which we then ingest, as well as the high adrenaline and cortisol when they’re being slaughtered .
You start slowly. In order to diminish the powerful positive impact eating a plant-based diet has on health, animals and the environment, meat eaters will call it a cult to create fear by creating fear they want people discouraged from experiencing it themselves and making their bown decisions about it. Frankly vegans could call meat-eaters a cult with blood of millions of animals on their hands, what blood is on the hands of any vegan? None. However l won't do that l will just say they are not conscious enough to understand the suffering they are participating in.
@Clarissa 1986 Do you grasp the concept of sentience? A animal is sentient, a plant is not.
So amazing!! Go veganism 🌱!!
Dr. Brooke Goldner would have been a good entry from a strictly health standpoint. She fought a tough battle with Lupus and literally cured herself through a WFPB diet. Very inspiring.
One idea for a future video would be to share some stories submitted by viewers.
I agree! I love her
I’m about 5 to 6 years into my vegan journey, and I couldn’t love my way of eating more. If I could, I would convince every one of my family and friends to adopt a plant based way of life. I’m overweight, only because I can’t get enough exercise due to physical disabilities, which I’m working towards overcoming.
first name coming to my mind when I saw the title was Joey, so good choices ^^
Thank you for sharing with us these information! Everyone was so inspiring in their own ways.
A very well deserved number 1 spot to Joey he’s an absolute legend 🙌🏼
1 month into being a vegan and havent had acid reflux once. I'm smaller too
that's it .. congrats
incredibly well put together! keep hanging with Las Vegans!
I don't understand the two examples who were vegan since birth or childhood. How does their "transformation" have anything to do with veganism, if they were already vegans?
yes but they transformed on a specific vegan diet - a strict low fat diet - so thought they'd still be cool to include
Because you can be vegan and eat unhealthy stuff vs going more plant based makes a huge difference. Plants are what heal the body.
I think it is amazing that they remained vegan from childhood. They absolutely are an example to the younger generations. This vulnerable and information absorbing population can continue this sustainable movement.
Thank you. I had the exact same question.
My only problem with my vegan life is the "all the nutrients that you need" concept ....I started losing my hair because of the B12 deficiency that I acquired after being vegan after 10 months. Make sure that when you promote the vegan (plant based) diet that you also promote the need to add B12, Omega 3, Vitamin D and Calcium to the diet. My health food store has a great variety of vegan supplements that helped me tremendously. I didn't have anyone that advised me of the requirements.....I did it on my own 😃 #VeganForLife
Brittany Flowerday I'm all better now after taking my supplements 😉 Thanks for your input 😊👍👍
Brittany Flowerday the problem is that many people don't know that. They go vegan without complete information and they do have issues when they make the switch. So they end up switching back.
Short Zumba Workouts With Camille Exactly.....but I'll never go back 😊. I've never felt better and I'm so happy to know that I'm helping the environment and not harming any other living beings. Good luck on your journey!!!💚🌱
I love the great transformations happening. I have not eaten meat for 45 tears now I am vegan and I am teaching Nutrition workshops in my yoga studio helping people to detox and go to a plant based diet.
Please keep making videos like that, to help more people see and open their hearts to not kill animals anymore!
Vegan power 💪🌱Fantastic video.
DAMN!!! the first girl looks great, nina. Before it look like ground beef trying to come out her skin. Anyways, WPBF did wonders for me as well. I was a flabby woman with over size hips, too much ass , too much breast cus the hormones in meat and dairy, my face was chubby with toddler cheeks, had a pilsbury dough back and a bean bag stomach!! I was hideous!!!!!! went vegan wpbf life syle change and you wouldnt even reconise me. LOL. Its like rosie odonell changed over to jessica biel!!! LOL. YES GO VEGAN PLEASE. you will become beautiful or more beautiful inside out. Think of your organs playing the organ!! a happy tune though..... Lmbo( PEACE!!
Only person missing was James Aspey!
Klaus will just have to do another video ;)
for sure
😍 yes
3 day vegan here:) lost 5lbs so far (I run daily and workout w weights too) I already feel so good!! I have an incredible amount of energy and gas lololol hoping to sustain this lifestyle🥰❤️
congrats
I think when it comes to health, the best you can do is to eat healthy, a lot of fruits and vegetables. Plant-based is a very good way of eating, but there are a lot of vegan junk food. If you want to eat healthy avoid the junk no matter if it's vegan or not. And if you want to be vegan, for other reasons than health. Than go for it!
Joey Carbstrong helped me make the switch to veganism.
Been plant based for a week and I know this is forever💖
Keep going! I've been offically plant based since March 1st!
Best wishes to both of you, stay healthy and compassionate
Will I am has said what I told every doctor I have ever spoken to since I turned 50, and they say they don’t trust nutrition and I don’t trust the FDA! Way to go will!
Incredible! Love it! Thank you for sharing so many inspiring transformation!
John Robbins of Earth Save wrote about this 25 years ago in ' Diet for a New America'.
Use to have a negative view of vegetarians until I experienced multiple gout flares on a monthly basis for 6 months. Finally made the life style change. My uric acid levels are now under control and no more flare up. My skin cleared up and noticed that my eczema is gone also. Lost 35lbs and feeling great.
fantastic video
Keep spreading the word guys!!!!
Thanks for the video. Loved every one of them. The one that resonated most with me was Will.I. Am. I had a doctor tell me very much the same thing and I knew differently from having taken a nutrition course in college. You are what you "eat" not the pill the Dr. Prescribes.
loVed the video 'Plant Based News'!! I've been vegetarian for years (since the age of 27 and I'm now 61); but, went FULL VEGAN the beginning of 2017 ... have never felt better!!
GO FOR IT!! You have nothing to lose; and, many more animals may not have to lose their lives.
I'm vegan 7 years in my 67.
I feel perfectly than i was 30-40 years.
You are doing amazing job for many people.
Don't give up. Thanks a lot.
Dr Alona Ross.
awesome testimony
Eventually we will all be vegan.
ya that will never happen
@Clarissa 1986 you nothing to do right? You write in a style like you never reached a gole...
@Clarissa 1986 What's so crazy about being compassionate and respectful of sentient beings?
This is one of the most inspirational videos I have ever seen about people who have gone Vegan. I will share it on fb and on a Vegan Calling page I am in. Its so positive and gosh...what amazing people. What incredible changes and makes happy tears flow. :-) Thank you so much for all the work and people involved in this. Love you.
👍the "lost direction human world" will change sooner with your relentless "truth revealing" stories! You are a "bodhisattva" in Buddhist language. Keep it up with your loving kindness good works! Let's live in peace and harmony with all sentient beings and the Nature and save this planet!
"If you consume pain and death, it will become you." That's a good way to look at it
Great idea about vegan transformations.These are some of the people who are promoting veganism, I'd love to see a regular segment about what other vegan people are doing too.
Spud fit!
agree!
Betty Horn Totally agree, Andrew has really changed his life around and influenced many others to do the same.
This was such a nice video and motivational too.
Long live the animals! Thanks for the great video👍🏻
this list is kinda funny to me because it includes so many of my heros ! nice !
This was a fantastic video, well edited and presented. Congratulations on the success of your channel and thank you for spreading the word about plant-based nutrition.
The thing that you don't crave junk food after awhile is seriously true.
God this is gonna be a challenge but it’s worth it. I deserve to be happy. I deserve to have energy. I feel so much better when I’m eating fruits 🍎 🍉 and veggies 🌶 🌽
Yes ever since I went vegan my skin cleared & less depressed
Any updates??
Will I Am reminded me of my story. My pain doctor told me water and healthier food wouldn't help my pain, but he wanted me on epidural steroid injections and pain meds. Huge red flag. Since then, I set out to heal my cervical spine. It will take time. But, I'm not quitting. I've been plant based for one year now. I love how I feel. Pain made me stronger. 💜💪
“If you eat suffering & death it becomes you”
Respect 👊♥️
so true
Can You Please Give Some Information About Being A Vegan While On High Blood Pressure medications. Thanks
Great list. If I would add anyone else, it would be Tim Kaufman of Fatmanrants.
Vegan since last Oktober, the biggest change is that now I think that a bbq smells terrible and before it smelled great!
You're not vegan though.
For some ppl been vegan is just a fashion to me been vegan is my whole life I want to die vegan. 5 years been vegan for the animals.
Please go vegan for life.
There is a documentary on Netflix called “Game Changers”, about athletes who became vegans and they are stronger now. It’s very rationally explained great movie. Suggest to watch it for who is interested
The number 1 make me cry so much! This is my 4 year of being vegan, never feel better , I love animals
the guy who lost 200lbs, BEFORE losing the weight probably COULDN'T buy a date. NOW he got to beat the women off with a stick!!!😆
