10:20 As a lovely patron pointed out, tofu is mostly fat per percentage of calories, but it's mostly protein by weight (fat has more calories per gram than protein or carbs). Not sure why I assumed percentage of calories, I guess weight makes more sense in terms of which macronutrient is dominant in a food? As if any of this shit makes sense lol
So according to Dr. Mona, the only way we could be vegan and get enough protein would be to eat mock meats, protein powder, *and* soy. Shes anti-soy btw because of course she is ("however much you can limit soy is better" from her 7 healthy snacks video)
Would you consider becoming a Registered Dietitian? I think you would do well as one.
Hey! Can you respond to Freelee recently criticizing Jenna marbles about her veganism?
That's how the dairy industry get away with saying full fat milk is only 2 or 3% fat. They give the percentage figure by weight, which is true, as milk is mostly water which is heavy. But it is nearly 50% fat as regards the calories it contains, which is the important figure. Sorry if you already knew this, just thought the idea was relevant.
@@ChrisJ294 Surely what percentage of the total product is fat is more relevant anyway? Who cares how much of the calories in milk is fat? The rest is sugar.
@@Theorimlig Because it's the calories you absorb. The rest you piss away. When you consume a food you want to know if it's high in fat, sugar, salt etc. And to know that, it's helpful to know which percentage of calories is which. And some of us do care how much fat is in food. We aren't all swallowers of flat earth Atkins bullshit.
Food combining did help me a lot. I started combining my food with hot sauce, and it changed my life. :D
👍
🤣🤣🤣
Tamás Fábián siracha changes my life
I can confirm this is the best way to food combine.
Rofl I did an elimination diet to see what I'm sensitive too and certain combinations of food hurt you stomach more than others if you have Gerd or something but this is just quackery
As a bio graduate, it’s terrifying how she’s a pharmacist and still promoting this...
Seema Ramjit I agree! Pharmacists are supposed to be highly respected health professionals who don’t promote dangerous practices.
As a pharmacist, I am also terrified. We're supposed to be the unbiased resource ugh.
ArtsyMN Exactly! This is complete and utter pseudoscience...After years of targeted education, it’s impossible to truthfully promote this thinking, save for the guise of financial gain 😳
See my commentary above. I gave everyone the name of the agency in CA. where one should report this woman.
Also google "How to report a practising pharmacist in Los Angeles California", as well.
Yeah it's usually quacks and nurses (I love nurses but nurses into pseudoscience and woo are everywhere)
Say it louder for the people in the back: *YOUR STOMACH IS NOT ALKALINE*
I'm always in awe when people don't know that our stomachs are acidic...like how?
And you don't want it to be!
Honestly. There's a reason it's filled with stomach acid right?
Yeah and if you have
A. Kidney(s)
B. Lung(s)
You do NOT need a $200 ion Keurig
Girl, there is an entire movement of people who believe that drinking lemon water (an acidic fruit) will akalize their body. We shouldn't even be surprised.
I love when people just make up their own scientific facts
@fullyrawkristina
I hate this trend now. Everyone thinks they’re an expert so long as they have some sort of social media following. It’s horrible.
Random dude hahaha I recently adopted a cat and my sister is a heavy raw food advocate so that hit close to home 😂😂😂😂 but yeah I’m sick of misinformation being spread and it happens so quickly online. There should be better laws monitoring what is being said online
@@emilyflodell2883 Censorship probably isn't the solution...
Theorimlig I’m not saying that they can’t post their opinions. I’m saying they should be required to openly state that they actually have no education in the field and that what they are sharing is opinion, not fact. Instead now we have 17 year olds and pharmacists giving misinformation but claiming they’re an expert in the field because they read a couple blog posts about it or something. Like how can fullyrawkristina say she’s certified in something when that certification doesn’t even exist? I just think they should have to be transparent about that before they are allowed to share their opinions.
I actually follow Dr. Vand and I've never questioned her till now. Thank you for this video, I'll do my research next time, instead of blindly listen to someone :)
alelovestea I saw a collab she did and never thought to question her at all as well. So basically- SAME GIRL!
I am confused how anyone can just blindly follow anyone in anything...
Lilith Nox Well are we not all blind to a very large extent? We know what we think we know from experts; our parents, teachers, professors, documentaries, scientific publications, etc. There is only a fragment of the world we know because we have directly experienced it or tested how something works. We have to rely on experts for all the rest. Sure we can be more certain of ‘expert opinion’ by comparing multiple accounts and combining it with what we already know, but still we have built a society that thrives on trusting ‘the expert’. I think we could do better in teaching people to not follow just anyone who claims to be an expert. Have you never believed someone that had a good story and pretended to be an expert and latter thought better of it? I think most people have.
mydirtyfeet just because someone has SOME credentials it does not mean they are right in everything. Especially someone talking about something they don’t really have education on. It is always important to have your minds open to doubt. Even more some when it comes to health and nutrition. Check first before just going for something because some expert (who’s expertise is not even nutrition) makes claims about how should you do something that actually affects your health.
And no. I don’t i always check everything. Specially when is something so esoteric. Its how i grew up. And its what kind of person i am. Question everything, ask question, get different perspective. I think its my greatest quality in life.
there are two quotes that I live by. first is "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense”. And if I only lived by that, it would be easy to blindly follow someone who feels like is speaking to me. I study nutrition and I once believed in the "rotten fruit" theory too. But I also live by "“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” , and that's why if I believe something someone says, I always have to make sure they are correct in what they said!
“No fruit after breakfast!”
*Eats tomatoes before dinner”
No fruit ever ever. Like Unnatural Vegan states fruit isn’t straight up carb. You need start your day with high fructose corn syrup/ agave nectar ect
Kayla Corcoran lmaooo
A person who doesn't know your stomach isn't alkaline probably doesn't know a tomato is essentially a berry either😂
Man. I’m not a vegan, but I’ve been watching your videos for a really long time now and I appreciate how much you try to educate people on how to eat healthy (vegan or not) or callout bs on youtube. Your videos have actually made me cut back on meat and try out more plant based recipes (and chickpeas! Sooo many chickpeas) :D
Cannot Copia SAME! I’m working towards a 99% vegetarian diet with elements of vegan because of Unnatural Vegan. I’ll never say I’m vegan because tell me I can’t have cheese and I’ll want to eat it all day, but I’m on board with being the kind of vegan (almost) UV promotes.
I'm in the same boat
Me too!
Same..been watching for years
@Pippa87
As long as you get your fill of cheese every day, go for it. Who cares about the confinement and suffering of other beings for your own pleasure? As long as it tastes good, of course.
And no, asshats, don’t reply with “omg a militant vegan”, use your words to try and defend the hypocrisy and cruelty of your stance.
I'm a dietetics student and the funny thing is that I watch mona's videos to keep up with the newest trends in food lol. That way I won't be surprised when patients bring up a fad or diet that has absolutely no scientific thought behind it whatsoever!
XD
It’s sad how many people will follow and believe someone because she’s thin and attractive. As a father of a teen daughter who is ‘weight-obsessed’, the harm that can result is frightening. That DR title create influence. I mean, look at Dr. Gundry’s erroneous diet plans. Luckily, no one gives what I say much weight since I’ve got a better face for radio.
Kurt McDowell I just talked about this with my husband yesterday. Having had an eating disorder my, I am super sensitive to people giving this crazy advice, not caring how their, mostly very young and susceptible audiences inhales this often dangerous information! We have a responsibility to our audience, to provide them with sound advice, not to send them down the road if an eating disorder. I hope your daughter finds some positive role models and realizes, that this life is too short to obsess about weight. Sounds like you are a good influence for her ❤️
Ohhh, I should research more about Dr.Gundry. I have his book ‘The Plant Paradox’ but never got around to finish reading it.
Right, if you have a PhD in industrial hygiene or acoustics you dont walk around telling people you're a "Doctor."
I feel like people who promote food combining just have no idea how stomach and digestion works...
MissCroupette I totally agree!
They probably skipped biology a lot in high school lol
The fact that she thinks food rots in the stomach is baffling to me.
M S that’s not true completely because the first stage of digestion is chewing and our saliva *partially* breaks it down before it moves to the stomach
The clip around 12:40 where Mona talks about food “putrefying” or rotting is so so so dangerous to those out there who may be struggling with disordered eating. My biggest problem during my eating disorder was that I was TERRIFIED of food rotting in my stomach, so as a result I would only eat foods like carbohydrates which digest easily. Although many people associate anorexics/bulimics with avoiding carbs because they’re “bad” food, I know other people who did or just as I did.
Uggghhhh THIS!
Ah man.... sorry to hear about your ED. That sounds really rough.
I don’t have an ED but really struggle sometimes if I think too much about the process of eating and it can occasionally make me avoid eating certain things for a few days.
I know it is not the same, but perhaps it gives me a little insight into why stuff like that can be triggering.
I hope you are feeling better now. Xx
I hope you're doing well now💜
YES YES YES!!! I used to struggle with abusing laxatives and one of my major fears was of the food just "rotting" and I would get so uncomfortable thinking about foods that I had combined wrong and would therefore somehow just "sit" in my stomach and not digest properly. It was such an uncomfortable thought that I often felt the need to purge to guarantee that I would still be "pure" the next morning. So much anxiety for absolutely nothing but pseudoscientific garbage!!
YES, EXACTLY. In fact, I think Dr. Vand is basically promoting disordered eating :(
i looked up her name on the ca board of pharmacy with no results and if you go to her website she doesn't actually list any credentials. like "i'm a pharmacist" is all she needs to say. i'm calling bs on her being a doctor at all
She may not be using her real name on UA-cam.
Tea 👀
Aha, you sleuth. Fantastic, unveil the truthy truth. Maybe she is all fraudulent? Maybe she isn't licensed?
@@millie-mayprice891 for sure! i thought that too but i couldn't find anyone with the name mona and a last name that started with a v. (there was one girl but her linkedin doesn't match up w dr. mona's. i could be missing something though!!) her brother (nemavand on instagram) also uses the last name vand -- he commented on one of her pics and it was a highlighted comment so i'm not a creep lol -- so it would be interesting if the whole family uses the shortened last name. again i could absolutely be wrong!
@@emilyletter5863 or they could both be using their mothers maiden name on the internet. If u were an internet famous person who didn't want my last name to be found I think it would make a lot of sense to ask my siblings/parents to also change their last names online (otherwise people could do what you've just done and use my relations let name, and then there's no point in using a different name)
The fact that she has a DR. And then she is pretty and thin young woman... it makes it almost worst because people are going to be drawn to it
el gordo that is exactly why people, especially you g girls are dream to her
And I hate when people throw their Dr around like that. Yes, she has a PhD, but she is a pharmacist
@@claudiaglows I think she has a PharmD, not a PhD, right? They aren't the same thing.
I'm a pharmacist and have never heard of her but this makes me very embarrassed someone in my profession is making these types of videos. We have extensive training on interpreting scientific peer-reviewed studies so there is no excuse for her making these claims. Y'all don't let this sway your view of your local pharmacist! We are some of the most accessible healthcare professionals. I love being able to help save someone a trip to the doctor by answering a question when they come up to my counter.
I know this is a two year old comment but this is so true. My grandpa always said he'll go to the pharmacist over the doctor any day 😅 I don't know how someone like this ended up with a pharmacy degree lol
Pharmacist here. My exact thoughts. I'm ashamed this woman is abusing her degree to spread misinformation.
She had mung beans with tomato sauce but tomato is a fruit so wouldn’t that not be allowed according to her rules?
@Susan Grimshaw pharmacists go to school for 8 to 12 years yes they are an expert on diet but unless thry are a hospital nutritionalist or dietician or whatever with 4 to 8 years of diet classes they are not capable of suggesting diets because even tho they are well trained that is not their scope of practice or specialty . Stop saying pharmacists don't know nutrition thry go to school for a decade or more I know because I took 2 years pharmacology and two years pre med
Red taehyung hixtape in my country you only take one year premed and pharmaceutical students study for only four years. Even moreso most pharmacy students dont get education on hollistic health since its a traditionally biomedical/western study. Therefore are not well trained in lifestyle and diet.
Susan Grimshaw Aotearoa (New Zealand)
Botanically speaking there is no such thing as a vegetable, this is purely a culinary term with no basis in science.
Susan Grimshaw I couldn't tell you if they were different from wherever you are, because I've never studied abroad. But I know that many of the graduates from our universities end up across the globe after graduating, and they are credible and globally recognised (at least the ones I went to)
I have been an Emergency Room RN for 15 years and have worked very closely with pharmacists for all of this 15 years. In all of those 15 years I have NEVER once heard a Pharmacist refer to themselves as DR. This women is a straight up scammer who, like a lot of chiropractors, wrongly refer to themselves as DR.
Like Dr. Pepper.
Shaquille O'Neal is also a Dr. He has a doctorate, so can refer to himself as one. She may have a doctorate degree which allows her to be referred to as Dr.
I mean, Chiropractors ARE doctors. Using the title is correct, because they have a doctorate in chiropractic care. They just aren't medical doctors (MDs), which is the important distinction.
Heresay & nonsense comment
I mean it sounds like she might have ibs/other digestive issues. Like dude if you have food coming out that isn’t fully digested, see a doctor please.
Ikr?! It's so puzzling! Like, not to be crass, but does she even know what healthy stool looks like? Nothing should look undigested. Ever. At all. :/
Count Meowt Unless it’s corn cause corn doesn’t digest lol
Katherine Burtt I agree! I guess bubbling and discomfort in my stomach because I’m lactose intolerant. It has nothing to do with food combining.
Yes, I have IBS and don't have to follow food combining rules. I just stay away from foods that I'm sensitive to, eat smaller meals, not too much volume/fiber and that's pretty much it. You don’t have to starve yourself...
Christina Exactly! Same here
Yeah I watched one of her videos about a morning smoothie and she was like "only put 1/4 of a banana" and did a full stop, realized she wasn't a real doctor, and never watched her again.
Haley Green me too
Haha "add 1/4 banana". You don't need that kind of negativity in your life 😉
Forreal 1/4 a banana I just finished eating 10
What... what do you do with the other 3/4? You put it in the fridge for TOMORROW??
@@potatorodka2795 no, you put it in the fridge for the NEXT THREE DAYS!
She clearly has a gross misunderstanding of how the digestive tract works 😅 different macronutrients are broken down by their respective enzymes in different parts of the digestive tract (protein mostly in the stomach, carbs in the mouth and small intestine, and fat in the small intestine). Your body is so smart- it already has the pH thing figured out. The stomach is super acidic for protein digestion and the small intestine is less acidic for the rest. Trying to isolate macronutrients makes zero sense 😅
I have no idea how she became a pharmacist in the first place. As a pharmacy student we have to learn how the digestive system works and how food moves through stomach. These are basic information that she should've known already. It is extremely embarrassing for me to see her talking bullshit in youtube.
Also bile is alkaline to digest fats. Our body is a perfect machine
Am pharmacy student: Dr. Vand is either playing dumb or flunked physiology
@@DisemboweledDragon people should ask to have proof of her degree
Amy G thanks you summed it up great. When she’s talking about how your body “makes enzymes for this or makes enzymes for that” like dude do you know what an enzyme is???
Her former professors are probably disappointed lol
Shelbylee she is a pharmacist. Not sure how much anatomy and physiology they have, but it should be enough to understand basic digestion
Shelbylee Not just disappointed, I’m sure they are absolutely *HORRIFIED!*
@@claudiaglows from experience, very fucking little. It angers me so much when people who are qualified in one discipline of science act like they know about others (especially dietetics). This is a total scam and she's using her unrelated credentials to influence vulnerable people
@@claudiaglows I went to Pharmacy school and anatomy and physiology were just a tiny tiny part of my first year course material. However, essential information we learn from those courses keeps coming back in Pharmacokinetics or Pharmacology. What I mean is she has got to know how misinformed the stuff she is preaching is. She's either totally delusional or extremely aware of the bullshit but scamming people anyways. Probably the former because she seems like she really does believe it.
All these gorgeous, thin vegan women need to stop acting like they have knowledge on nutrition just because they are beautiful and know most women will see them and want to know what makes them look that way, even though it’s mostly genetics i’m sure.
🙌
Yes It must be the hennes.They would not be beautiful for a long time on a vegan diet.I eat a lot of veggies too ,but we need something more.
Vanity is the raft veganism is floating on.
I agree, her looks and the Dr title are the main reasons I followed her 😒
1) *"Thin vegan women _who are not dieticians"_
2) "Thin" != "beautiful" (see also: meth-heads and crack addicts)
ON BEHALF OF ALL PHARMACISTS OH MY GOD: SORRY. We are trained to follow the literature and practice evidence based medicine. She is an unfortunate offshoot- we learn in school to do EXACTLY the opposite of what she does 🤦🏻♀️ not every pharmacist is like this!!
Pharmacy tech of 20 years: THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS. This woman is going to do some serious harm and that has NEVER been the practice of ANY pharmacist I have had to privilege to work with. 👍
She's the type of pharmacist to reccomend oscillococcinum

@@sanammar ur not alone sis 😆 her blabbing about stuff usually makes me wanna vomit so hard
Lmao this comment got so much better with age 😂
Any time someone says "it's a fact you can look it up" instead of providing the info, you know it's actually an opinion.
Glaring factual inaccuracies aside, Dr Vand also seems to have an unhealthy relationship with food.
What's with the emotive, overblown language she's using, like "chaos", "putrefying" etc :/
Agreed. She moves so stiffly in her videos, too. Doesn't bend her neck to look down. Doesn't *lean over* or *take steps*.
I diagnose her with body image issues and food demons. I can make that diagnosis because I'm a doctor. I received my doctorate from Noneya Business University.
🤣🤣🤣
i’m studying to be a pharmacist and I can absolutely say that even if you specialize in food science and etc it does not make you qualified to talk nutrition. it still amazes me tho how she actually promotes such bullshit, she should at least know better
Julia Kawall isn’t it true that even pharmacists, or people in the medical field, receive like less than 50 hrs of nutrition education per year? Idk I read somewhere that if ur not directly studying nutrition, people don’t really teach it even if ur studying science or medicine
Masha Nikulina I’m not exactly sure, and I’m not from the US or anything so it may be different anyway. but it seems possible. ppl from the health field really need to know their boundaries...
and honestly even not being our specialty we should know better than promote this crap
I’m a medical student and I honestly don’t agree. Doctors may not receive diet classes as separate courses, but they have to learn the physiology of digestion, enzyme deficiencies and management of metabolic diseases. I do not agree that they have no qualification to recommend or educate people on their diet. Dieticians specialize in diets so they are really great for long-term management and education.
you're going to be a terrible doctor
Genuinely curious, who eats just a half of banana? Like "nah, whole banana is too much, I'll leave half of it just so it becomes brown and gross till tomorrow"??
Diabetics might - a whole ripe banana is the equivalent of two slices of white bread, and they do need to pay attention to that amount of sugar
Alexandra Puzalkova but she ain’t diabetic and she’s not talking to people that are diabetic. That’s why it’s like brain exploding.
Oh I only use half a banana but I'm actually eating food through out the day- also if you keep the banana in the peeling on and use it to cover the banana it keeps it fresh but I usually throw it in the freezer and eat it later as a snack
My 3 year old. And sometimes they store it in funny places.
@@cleahna No, she isn't, I just answered the question of who might actually benefit from not eating the whole banana, since op was wondering
This makes me so furious. As a dietitian: please do not trust someone on dietary advice just because they have a certain title or studied in the medical field. This does not mean anything as they are barely trained when it comes to nutrition. And it's frankly shocking how this woman can honestly believe in food combining
Emma Vicktorius My gastroenterologist or pcp don't give nutritional advice besides just "don't eat a bunch of Mcdonald's." They always refer out to dieticians because they recognize that they aren't experts in nutrition
Emma Vicktorius and don’t trust anybody who criticizes how other people eat while they feed their baby processed garbage
Mona: “food can rot in your stomach if combined with the wrong foods”
*reality can be whatever I want*
If you eat this way for too long & your body will slowly rot from the inside out & this is how zombies are formed, according to science of course.
So if I eat sugar and fat/protein together, the food won't digest and I won't gain any weight?! Deal
Be careful, if they don't digest they'll rot in your stomach remember? Save yourself the hospital bills!!!
Haha, you win internet today
I remember she told me to only use half a banana
And I was like
Nah
Jac Chase The Road because you don’t like bananas or because you wanted a full one?
FlyingWonderGirl I want a whole banana saving half a banana is obnoxious to me lol
@@JCTR325 I totally agree. Unless there is an actual reason to not eat a whole banana, like for me (type 1 diabetic). I almost never eat bananas because of the amount of carbs, but when I do, I give half of it to someone else, like my BF, mom, dad, brother etc. :)
I know what’s wrong with a frigging full banana
Sometimes I think I want a banana, but then I realise half way through that I am not liking it. Then I might save half. Anything else is weird to me.
I can not stop laughing, “alkaline” stomach environment 🤣🤣🤣
This is clear evidence of lizard people, she's obviously talking about their stomach environments! Illuminati confirmed
Sarah Vee lol people want an alkaline stomach pH because I guess they want to die? I have no idea what people are thinking.
I'm so confused, because in Europe you study pharmacology in medical school and that's the only way to become a pharmacist. They learn physiology with future doctors. I can't believe she gets away with such little knowledge.
Really, truly, pharmacists are trained to have a great grasp on physiology, on par with doctors, just with a focus on drugs. My brother is in pharm school and I can definitely tell you he exhibits a better understanding of the body than her. She seems to be someone totally just focused on fads and I can't believe her pseudoscience
In the US, pharmacy school is separate from medical school.
not sure exactly why pharmacy school and med school are separate in the US, but you still have to have 4 years before pharmacy school, then 4 years of pharmacy school, and you learn in depth about anatomy and physiology in both. It’s like swayze said, it’s not so much about lack of knowledge, dr. mona probably isn’t stupid, but she has deluded herself into thinking this diet works out of desperation.
How do we even know she really is a pharmacist? Anyone can call themselves anything on the internet
@@6OceanSoul9 Great point!
Plus the idea of a diet that could change blood pH is frankly terrifying! That system is finely regulated by the body and minor alterations send people to the ICU.
Amanda Mullins this!! We learn this shit in intro physiology in undergrad! Can’t believe she has a graduate degree and still fails to understand this 🤦♀️
Taylor Cervantes exactly!
I learned this in anatomy physiology in first 4 months for my associates medical assistant
I am not pre-, post-, or anything med. Heck I have a studio art certificate....but it seems like blood should would never change. Blood is blood. It carries different stuff sure but the pH of blood is always the pH of blood.
Like, it seems like it would be common sense?
*Homeostasis*
Umm
Both avokado and tomatoes are fruits! Didn't she say no fruits with other foods?!
Botanically cucumbers are fruit too. Zucchini and squashes as well, even though they're used as veggies in a culinary sense. She's eating all of those things with other meals.
I keep kosher, and these food combining people sound like they looked at Jewish dietary laws and thought "Let's make it even worse, and sell it to people who have zero community or religious obligations!" 😂
@Tina Yael Severinovna M. It definitely is! In our house it's a conscious choice to reduce animal product consumption. But I know many families who don't do meat at home just for simplicity's sake regarding kashrut.
Easier to keep kosher, except during Passover.
I never saw that lady's videos but she is a healthy weight so she must have enough calories...i eat way less than she... but i look way too skinny. Now i think i see why. I have to do better...but no mushroom tea...ugh.
I mean at least they don't need a separate set of dishes for starch and protien.
How does one keep kosher? What are the main principles that you personally follow?
I am an angry dietitian 🙈 but thanks for calling out the quackery!
Lindsay Coleman it must drive you crazy, to see advice like this as a dietician
As a dietitan all I have to say is....this is just proof I'll continue to have job security? Lol, but in all seriousness, yes being a dietitian in the age of the internet can be pretty frustruating
I really love food combining tbh. Combining protein, carbs, and fats is always so satisfying
I know you have covered Freelee a lot but would be good to see a response to her recent video on Jenna Marbles criticising her for accidently buying something non vegan (because no one makes mistakes right?) and complaining that she doesn't eat raw till 4 and posts deep fried (oh no not oil) recipe videos, because showing fun delicious vegan recipes is SO ineffective and she should just be posting banana smoothies of course. I still can't grasp how Freelee is still pushing raw till 4 and attacking those who don't follow it.
I was kind of surprised to see freelee promote her raw till 4 fruitarian diet again...claiming that jenna needs to eat raw till 4 for optimal health. She's so bad for veganism and I feel sorry for all the girls that got sick from her diet
Ha! She just wants those clickbait views from all of Jenna’s fans 😂
@@jol7851 I know! She preaches about how she's so righteous for not caring about how she looks yet in her video says Jenna won't "look her best" if she doesn't eat raw till 4. Nobody even eats raw till 4 anymore anyway because it ruined everyone's health 😂
It did sadden me to see Jenna bought chicken ramen though, to be honest.
@@ashleyraey1386 yeah I mean it's not the best thing to see but the answer isn't eating raw till 4 like freelee said.
If I have to follow all this rules every day of my life I'm just gonna throw my hands up in the air and eat nothing but pizza and ice cream because all this rules are just exhausting 🤷♀️
And "intuitive" eating is another one for me 🤣😂, can't trust my intuition when it comes to food cos I would be eating 🍿 and 🍫 all day !
I mean we gotta die from something, so why not pizza? 😂
Every time I hear about food combining I think people mean eating fat soluble vitamins with a fatty thing, not whatever this is.
Sounds like she's having a eating disorder :(
Halikatti I think she just doesn’t have a clue about human anatomy mixed with some disordered eating
Massive brain fart is more like it.
Majority of vegans on youtube suffer from eating disorders which they admit. Its around 90%
lalala blablabla That is nowhere near an accurate statistic. And pretty irresponsible for you to just throw around
She sounds like an ED with a pretty face and a tan. Like Steph Buttermore here as well. Promoting dangerous lifestyles but they're beautiful so people will listen. At least Dr. Steph is on track to fix her disorder though.
Doesn't everyone always "feel great" when they start something?
Ah, the wonders of the placebo effect.
YOU KNOW WHAT HELPED ME WITH MY DIGESTION??
You did.. I went from raw vegan to regular vegan and quit overthinking food (past ed thoughts). Who knew that thoughts create reality? י_•י•
As a pharmacist my only solace is that all the time she spends promoting placebo BS means less time for her to instruct patients on the use of real, potentially dangerous medications.
When I first heard about food combining I thought it would be things like combine your iron rich foods with vitamin C , or eat fat with potatoes because they contain fat-soluble vitamins...
Then I learned what crazy BS it actually is. Putting weird restrictions on what or when you eat is just a recipe for failure.
Same!!!
Abby Sharp did a really good video talking about food combing recently. worth the watch
*Abbey
As a pharmacist, I am so ashamed of her diet advice lol.
Bodoor abdullah so this is not what they taught you ? 😄
I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you made this visit specifically. I honestly have been listening to her and starting to implement her advice into my diet. I am so happy to know that the way she eats isn’t good. I thought I was crazy for struggling with it all!
Rachael Dorado enjoy yourself lol I support literally same
Side note: Just checked 'fit shortie eats' on insta and they removed all pictures of their baby except for a couple of his foot with a lengthy post about how it's pointless giving parents any parenting /nutrition advice.
Jesus. I hope that baby...you know. Isn't dead.
Ok usually I don't care how people did in school but how the hell did she pass pharm school
Apparently she has a doctorate in pharmacology? How did she pass that either
A Slifko maybe her parents are wealthy
My guess is that they don’t teach about food combining... or much nutrition at all. They just teach about drugs and shit 😂 I’m not studying to be a pharmacist this is me joking but honestly I don’t think nutrition was the main focus
Her family is very well off
@@kham6006 So she has a university building with her family's name on it? Aha, I see, lol.
I'm so glad you covered this UA-camr. I find her very misleading with her diet and skincare advice as she doesn't state she's not an expert and doesn't provide a disclaimer for people who could easily think otherwise due to 'Dr'
Still working on getting rid of that stubborn "baby fat". Just had a baby 10 years ago.
A pharmacist talking about nutrition? It’s like a chiropractor talking about nutrition and being trusted for having any diploma BUT nutrition. Oh wait.. that’s already happening
right? people get “dr” put in front of their name and think they’re an authority on everything despite doing little to no study on what they’re talking about..
I have only tried the four sigmatic "hot cacao". It is nasty. Everyone online makes it seem like its delicious. It tastes like mud
Probably placebo because they are convinced it's so healthy
They were sponsored so they can't say it tastes bad on camera haha
Cacao doesn’t taste like cocoa. I learnt the hard way. It’s still beneficial I think in its magnesium content?
@@FlyingWonderGirl Yes, but the price and the amount of magnesium in it doesnt make it worth it, there's way better sources of magnesium for cheaper
Yup they had single packets of the coffee and hot chocolate at the checkout at the grocery store. I tried them out they were awful and not worth the price. Like someone said they are convinced it's so healthy they think it tastes delicious.
You can use the "just had a baby" excuse until they turn 18.
Nah, give her an extension to when her kids graduate college, lol.
I’m a med student. I work along side great pharm students.
Terrifying that she thinks stomachs can be “alkaline”. You need to know about stomach ph for excretion and absorption of drugs (literally what she went to school for 8 years to learn). I would not take medical advise from this lady.
"this is pretty basic biochemistry"
I thought you said it was acidic
JFC in high school biology class they go over the enzymes that break down food. Like how carbohydrates start breaking down in the mouth due to salivary amylase...
So regardless of what you’re eating, digestion begins basically as soon as you start chewing and swallowing.
Actually there are medical conditions that can cause food to "rot" within the stomach. But it's not the type of rotting that you imagine when you hear the word rot. The condition called Gastroparesis, is a condition that slows the gastric emptying of the bodies digestive system, which leaves most if not all food in your stomach for extended lengths of time. So while the food isn't rotting like if you left a tomato sitting on the counter for a week, it does rot in the sense that it spoils and causes symptoms of food poisoning. I personally have this condition and it's not fun, my gastric emptying function is between 25%-35%, and this causes severe nausea (24/7), episodes of vomiting, and bowel disturbances. Thankfully, I am lucky and have found a combination of medications that help with the nausea at least.
I just thought I would share this because you said that food doesn't rot in the stomach, but it can. I don't think it rots because of the combination of foods and what time you eat certain foods, but there are those people who do experience food rotting in their system. I'm not a doctor, but I would say if anyone is experiencing digestive problems like severe non-stop nausea, vomiting and bowel changes then you should definitely see a gastroenterologist, because something could be really really wrong with your system.
Kristina Knapp You are talking about a disease or medical condition. The food in your stomach did not rot because of what kind of food you ate. The food in your stomach rot because your stomach lost it's ability to move your bowels due to your disease.
@@dartfather yeah I literally state that at the beginning of the post. I never said it was the foods fault...
Ya know. I wrote up a rule that my vampires in my fantasy story shouldn't eat normal foods because it will rot in their stomachs as they are undead, and the body just wants blood. Turns out, that wasn't as original a thought I thought it was
Because some people are just insane.
Someone fell asleep when it came to digestive enzymes. And the digestive track in general.
How did she manage to get her grade?? Did she forget all of this very basic stuff the moment she get her degree? Is that what happened?
Vampires....vegan vampires? Hmmmm....it could happen. Blood is renewable. Transfusions. Could be humanely sourced. Just sayin'.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 A lot of the vampires switched over to blood packs as soon as they could, because its just a disease and doesn't turn them into heartless monsters.
However it isnt all that good since they are taking blood that is needed for transfusions, and most of the time the plasma, red blood cells etc are separated for different kinds of transfusions. So its not like, a full meal. More like a snack.
If her theory was true, how would babys survive on breastmilk?
I click instantly when I see an unnatural vegan video. Like, I'm literally supposed to be working rn.. :P
Congratulations.
that's a big mood
Same 😂😂 I do this at work lol
hey! take breaks and stay productive!

Sadly I tried this diet and felt no different. I think putting “doctor” in her name gets her by well. What does that have to do with her channel?
Chapter Bi Chapter my question exactly
A plan like this would NOT work for me at all! I like starch in the morning (breakfast potatoes with veggies), and I LOVE having fruit for dessert after meals. I also do not have any kind of digestive discomfort or "chaos" so...lol. These food rules seem unnecessary and restrictive to me.
this lady Mona is so of base , everyone on a standard diet would be skinny due to mal-absorbtion
if you truly look at her reasoning ,its totally impossible to be true
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how you CITE the sources. It just makes you 150% more credible. Thank you. Finally someone who cares enough to do that.
I find it comical how her linkedin says she's an experienced clinical pharmacist when she has a total of 3 years and 2 months actually working as a pharmacist. She's been self-employed for the past 4 years. She has no idea what she's talking about.
Food combining is important for people with IBS on a low fodmap diet.
Essentially, you consider food a "dose" of specific sugars that you react to. You can consume fodmaps in moderation. Each food contributes to that dose.
So while her explanations were wacky, such tactics are used by people trying to figure out their dietary intolerance.
Dr Dray is a dermatologist and she does daily vlogs of the extremely low calorie vegan foods she eats (including, a really empty fridge, cauliflower oats, four sigmatics coffee lol )- I worry that her food choices might impact young impressionable viewers because she is a doctor who happens to be 'vegan'.
I'm starting to suspect that the crazier the diet, the more sanctimonious and self righteous the presenter. Sort of a dietary Calvinism. The more you suffer the more holy you are...... I can eat just about anything. The idea that "modern people" can't eat foods we ate 100 years ago is asinine.
Dana W but the thing is, a lot of them genuinely don’t think they’re suffering. They enjoy their “holy decisions”
I had a flashback to being forced to listen to a famous fire & brimstone sermon by Jonathan Edwards when I was in middle school. Ugh 😫
@@theshunnedBandersnatch "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Edwards. 🤮
Though I agree with the OG poster's comments referring to the similarities to Calvinism.
@@TheNocturnalpheonix Ugh, yes. Great way to keep a 12 year old on the straight and narrow instead of just talking about stuff 🙃
Definitely agree on the Calvinism comparison. My dad was a pastor and went through a whole Calvinist phase when we attended a Reformed church. Very fun 3 years 😒
I follow no such religious nonsense but, ha that comment was gold.
you probably wont see this but....
i love you and your brain so much! you remind me so much of my eldest sister. your personality is so raw and genuine! i left this comment before a few years ago when i first found you and its still true today! 💕💕💕
Why would a pharmacist recommend activated charcoal?
I SO love your honest, critical, and realistic commentary! Please keep making videos like this one. :)
She has a knack for debunking bullshit.
the ad before the video was a dude talking about how he learned to cook brisket in his backyard lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo UA-cam is willllld
Why don’t you get a degree in nutrition? It seems like a passion of yours, so you’ll be doing something you love ❤️
I was literally just thinking the same thing!
Probably more trouble & expense then it's worth. I wonder what her other passions/job(s) are.
She just had a baby :)))
Number 3?😍
Cuz she's also a quack she's better than all the rest of these vegans and she's educated atleast
I'm, isn't quinoa basically a starchy protein?
Yea, I don't really understand why she thinks quinoa is a starch while lentils aren't? Other food combining "rules" consider both starch.
Lentils are like 75% carbs.
All grains and legumes are starches except for peanuts and soy
Yes! These things confused me because foods contains multiple “food groups”. Like why is a food considered a protein, when it’s mostly carbs, but then another food is still starch just because it has a little less protein than a similar food with lots of carbs 😂
@@mariniikkAlso, most proteins contain fat. I thought one of the rules was not combining protein and fat... So confusing!
THANK YOU! It's so important that you call those people/channels out! Please keep doing what you're doing!
You are one of the most sensible and responsible UA-camrs out there - your content is invaluable in this community. Thank you for your work
I had a dietitian recommend using food combining when I was first diagnosed with IBS (~7 years ago) and eating simpler meals did make me feel a lot better. I ended up going vegan sometime later, and the increased fiber intake + using some of the food combining principles has put my IBS symptoms in remission for over 5 years
But I'm not sure why anyone else would choose to follow food combining if they don't have underlying digestive problems - you're missing out on a lot of delicious combos! I had no idea people were using this as a fad diet thing...I mean, there's no logic reason to think this would make you lose weight???
Chia pudding is disgusting are there actually people who really like eating this and not just because the internet says it’s healthy?
I was thinking the same thing! Like, I can make it taste good and all but when it comes to the texture, I can't even swallow it.
I love Chia pudding, but I’ve had gross chia pudding. I think it’s like tofu. You have to make it right.
Haha..yeah there are some including myself. I love chocolate chia pudding but as someone else said, I've tried some bad store-bought chia puddings.
It's slimy. Looks like mucus. Yuck.
My work makes a peanut butter chia pudding that we serve with a berry coulis (so like, PB and J chia pudding) that is super tasty. But I do understand how the texture could be off-putting.
The most frustrating part of this is that some people always respond with, "Well, she's so beautiful, she MUST be doing something right! She doesn't look sick at all!" That's not an accurate measurement of how healthy somebody is, or how healthy their diet is in the long term.
Ok all I heard was “food combining cupcakes” and I finally think I can get on board with for combining if it’s with cupcakes
I LOVE how you mention dietitians. People who are unqualified to talk about nutrition always do. Meanwhile dietitians go through intense schooling and internships to become qualified to actually know what they're talking about yet hardly anyone mentions them or trusts them 😭
I had a friend who was so hooked on food combining and had so many rules, that I really hated eating with him. He would be thirsty, but wouldn't drink water because it wasn't time yet. And all he did was talk about his diet. I don't care what diet someone follows, I just wish they could do so without talking about it during the entire meal.
Lovely to see you reference Abbey Sharp. She's great and the first thing I thought about when I started this video. You are both superstar A+ anti-bullshit ladies.
Thank you so much for dispelling this myth. My sister has fallen prey to believing this for a long time, but recently started to question the sense in it. I watched abbey sharp critique it the other day, and I am so glad a vegan can talk about it because it's so prevalent in the community. It really sets up a person to be orthorexic about their meals.
man I thought food combining was about how you should eat carbs along with protein and fat to slow absorption
girl you can talk about grass... trust me WE’LL WATCH IT.
Water passes through the stomach extremely quickly. By this logic water would need to be consumed far away from meals as well as requiring all foods to be dried out to prevent a giant wave of fluid from running through your intestines
I remember you from 30BAD when I was a raw vegan. I'm proud of you for always putting your true opinion out there. It makes me soooo much more confident to not fall back into that mindset. I had a stint a few months ago, trying to go raw again, because I remember being happier (had to do with other life factors, not food.) and then i found your videos, recognized you from the forums. Looking back now, you really did look very anemic on raw. I also had anemia as a child on a meat diet and it led to permanent nerve damage in my hips on the raw food diet. You look great now.I feel like I snapped out the little vortex I started to fall back into thanks to your videos.
I have left numerous comments on her videos. First of all, calling herself Dr. is misleading for sure. I googled it and it’s more appropriate to put PharmD after your name so it’s not misleading. And all her principles are taken from Kimberly Snyder. It was obvious to me immediately whose diet and practices she was following.
How do these fruit loops not get that your food is all jumbled up in your body?! The faster digesting stuff doesn't get stuck behind slower digesting stuff, it just is digested bc everything is jumbled up, not stacked one behind the other
I took Advanced Biochemistry in university, and literally, the only thing I remember was my professor ensuring us that diet doesn't affect the pH of the blood, we have buffers and systems in place to keep our body pH stable
Thank you so much for making this video. I saw a friend of her recommending that ”diet“ and this just confirms what I already suspected. Most of these extremely skinny women who talk about restricting food seem to have some kind of an eating disorder 😔 the saddest part is that so many refuse to see it and encourage others to do the same under the veil of fitness etc...
Anyone else saw ROTS and immediately thought „Revenge of the Sith“ ?
No but I did think Ruby of the Sea
🔥🔥🔥
Have you considered studying nutrition? Because I would 100 percent listen to your advice over these other sad, lost people.
You mean you want her to have some formal credentials, right? Yeah, I know.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 No, I meant she'd be good at it as she seems to have a better understanding of nutrition than other people I've watched and I trust her opinion over those other hard core idiots who promote starvation and fad dieting.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 I think that sasscam meant they would listen to unnatural vegan if she was a nutritionist.
Nutrition is just one of Swayze's many interests. You don't necessary have to form a career around something just because it interests you and you have some knowledge on the subject. She's also REALLY good at making these videos as a job, which she's lucky to be able to do from home (and we get to watch for free).
I've never heard of food combining and at first I thought it would be something logical or science based like having a vitamin C sources with your iron rich foods to improve absorption... Boy was I wrong 🤦
Great video! Glad you're calling out people spreading horrible and dangerous misinformation.
