Why I'm No Longer Vegan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Over the last seven years, we’ve shared our life journey here on UA-cam. Moving from New Jersey to Maryland and also our vegan journey. Veganism was an exciting time for us. It gave us the opportunity to explore vegetables on a whole new level. But as the years went on, I started to notice some subtle symptoms that I couldn’t fully understand. Today, I tell you why I’m no longer vegan in hopes to inspire you to listen to your body and make changes if you need to instead of feeling indoctrinated into any specific diet.

What your a black person and your no longer vegan that’s blasphemous.
Its safe to say is to walk 🚶♀️ the middle pillar. Consume both but more fruit and vegetables. I love that bouyon cuisine
straight up just speculation you have no idea why
I have just quit being a vegan too, fairly recently. I ate quite well however i realised the portion sizes are so difficult to keep up with to ensure the correct calorie intake. I experienced eye problems, my bones began to ache terribly and i felt extremely weak. I was eating qnd cooking home made food all the time but it wasn't good for my body at all. Damn ive wtarted gaining all the healthy weight back and i look good again. I feel like the vegan diet may work for a year or two but once you hit the four or five year mark, the deficiencies will start to hit your body hard. I'm glad ive come to my senses and to be frank we are supposed to eat according to our genetics. My people eat a lot of greens and lentils and beans but they drink a lot or milk and eat lamb and other kinds of meat and they are incredibly healthy and strong. In fact we have incredible teeth ive noticed as South Sudanese. Anyway stay healthy and blessed ❤
Wow thanks for taking the time to share your story! I agree that it “works” for a while or maybe it’s that our bodies don’t show us symptoms of it not working for a while because it’s adjusting and adapting to the new vegan diet that we give it. We should eat for our body type, that is for sure but everything that our culture consumes is not beneficial for us. It’s always best to eat a food and then sit and see how it makes you feel, truly. The more you do that, the more you will know what is truly for you and what is not. We are such unique individuals and I love that Ayurveda recognizes that in its way of life and food guidelines. So glad to hear you’re feeling better now. What is your daily food intake like now?
@@mygutculture Thanks for taking the time to read. So I'm trying to slowly allow my body to adjust, so right now I'm still eating dishes from my country which includes a lot of green dishes with meat. We usually have our dishes with what we call asida equivalent to what Nigerians call fufu or kisra( similar to Ethiopian injera but lighter)
I mainly eat chicken / fish and with a sauce i make, and some rice and I'll usually have steamed vegetables or salad with it. For breakfast I still love my fruits and then I'll have eggs after that. I keep it quite simple.
@@KushQueen9 you’re welcome my love. Sorry for taking so long to reply. Ahh that all sounds so good. How does eating those more traditional foods make you feel? Do you try to eat lighter for any particular meal or are all meals pretty light or pretty heavy? I’m actually curious to try some of the Jamaican foods I grew up on now just to see how my body takes to it.
Even vegan I know has gotten sick or died of cancers and organ failure. Maybe it’s just coincidence I don’t know. It just seems odd to me that they’re very sickly looking to me:
Yea, just cause someone is vegan, doesn't mean they're immune to getting sick. Veganism can be approached in so many different ways. It's easy to not eat the right things and the right proportions of foods just like on any other diet. Nutrition and veganism don't go hand in hand. Probably not a coincidence at all.
@@mygutculture exactly, veganism is a moral stance against animal exploitation, its not a promise of never getting ill although health organisations do say it lowers the risk of certain cancers and heart disease etc. I've been vegan 18 years and don't eat super healthy but I only get sick once every few years. A non vegan colleague in another team noticed and asked me why I never get ill as I'd always dodge every bug in the office and just have a couple days sick leave every 5 years or so. On the other hand, some vegans I know do usually catch colds, viruses and flu etc. Sometimes its just your immune system and the luck of the draw!
Another never vegan but "no longer vegan" with bla bla excuses. Journey is a big red flag. Veganism is about the animals, not health.
Vegan for animals here! I haven't watched this one but whenever I'm on a train and I hear "we wish you a pleasant onward journey" it always makes me chuckle. They're the only journeys I make though!😃
Why do you use animal products needlessly for entertainment while pretending to be against it?
I know you won't answer truthfully and factually. I just like watching the evasion and inevitable justifications for not practicing what you preach.
Thanks for being vegan! I understand what we do to animals is murder and a holocaust. I fund it because I have no soul. I'm so sad.
I say plant based not Vegan because I'm not a moron. 😂
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Congratulations 😌
Thanks love!💚✨
How can you know your body type ?
I went from your world to carnivore out of desperation due to so many health issues. It was only getting worse and worse with things like high blood pressure, eczema, hypothyroidism, on and on. On a carnivore diet I started to improve almost immediately. First sign was a good nights sleep! Then blood pressure started to normalize. Vision improved. It is wild.
I have some questions.. bare with me please..when you went vegan the first time. Were you just eating the regular fruits and vegetables and processed foods? Or were you eating nothing but regular non gmo fruits and vegetables plus the super fruits and vegetables like sour soup, star fruit, passion fruit ect.. plus sea moss, herbal supplements and proteins like hemp seeds and brazlian nuts, fasting and drink natural spring water? I'm curious to know because some people say it works for them and some say it doesn't and I don't know why. They also have a book on eating for your blood type
I was eating mostly home cooked meals (with regular organic fruits and veggies but not always organic). And we did have some “vegan fad foods” like black bean burgers, impossible meats and egg substitutes (maybe once a week in the beginning). After the first 2 years, we began strictly organic or pesticide free whole food plant based eaters, yes we had super foods, and tropical fruits when it was available to us on the North East Coast of the US.
We also had sea moss and a ton of herbs but it wasn’t until I structured my eating and my herbal supplements that I saw the health. The problem was I was just eating a bunch of random things that were deemed vegan or healthy online. Now I follow an Ayurvedic diet to where I don’t eat processed foods, I don’t eat leftovers, everything is organic or locally (pesticide free grown). I only take herbs if I’m on a specific detox protocol (before I would just randomly take things). And I only drink warm (almost boiled) spring water (not alkaline). Big difference. Some people may benefit from the super foods and alkaline diet but long term it’s not sustainable for our bodies. We need structure, we should eat fruits past three pm and we should eat topical fruits unless we live in tropical places. Also, it’s better to lightly cook certain fruits than to eat it raw but that’s a whole other topic.
@@mygutculture ok thanks that really cleared up my concerns thank you for sharing
@@mariahharris2506 you’re welcome! How’s your health/eating journey so far?
@@mygutculture well right now I have been doing lots of research to make sure I do it the correct way. I'm really determined to eat healthy because what I eat has a huge impact on my mental health, and the gut is the first brain. I'm trying to plan out a daily routine with all the herbs I should take. But also plan on finding out my blood type so I can eat for my blood type as well
Wow this sounds exactly like me! Will you show us how you make the ghee and yogurt?
Really!? Wow I hope you’ve started making some of the necessary changes. Yes, I’ll be showing you how to make both ghee and homemade buttermilk on my recipe channel @geneusrecipes within the next few weeks. It’s actually really easy.
You probably needed more fruits. Not sure what you were eating while you were vegan.
No, it wasn’t the fruits. Because I dealt with Candida for a while, I had to remove fruits from my diet but when I was able to eat them, still same thing. The fruits available in the US (in my area, Washington, DC) weren’t the best. They traveled far, were picked early, and lacked taste + nutrients.
Being vegan is just worst thing😂😂
Right on! We gotta do what works for us and keep adjusting...vegan sources have almost no cholesterol which is a precursor for so many hormones (for men and women)...I'm not sure exactly how to reliably replace the cholesterol using pure vegan sources. I tried doing a vegetarian diet for a month in college and it didn't work well for me. I think vegetarian [eggs + dairy] may be possible long term, if you are replacing those non-vegan things needed by your body, and are willing to spend a lot on those replacements.
So true, gotta do what works for you -‘d truly listen to your body. Why would you say it didn’t work for you? I think sometimes it’s our food choices as well when we make these diet changes but curious to see what you experienced.
@@mygutculture Why would you not eat meat which is human's natural diet especially red meat and associated fat?
I just don’t feel my best eating red meat or meats in general. Also, the transit time of meat is pretty long compared to grains, legumes, plants and fruits. I rather not increase that transit time especially with my digestive system being on the way to a full recovery still.
@@mygutculture The transit time, that's not true meat is the most digestible food on the planet for humans because that's our natural diet anything that has fiber has a longer Transit time. Obviously you can do what you want I was just curious because I was whole food plant-based for a long time and my health was bad when I switch to meet based the best I ever felt and plus your senses tell you that anyway whole food plants taste terrible compared to say refined white rice and such. Universally including children do not like the taste of whole plants for a good reason those things are toxic.
Not sure where you’re getting this from but I actually study this and this isn’t true but I understand your perspective as the knowledge that I have access to is not common knowledge and it’s hard to find online as they censor this type of information. Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to write me. Blessings on your journey!
deff looking forward to seeing more of your ayurvedic lifestyle. Growing up Haitian it was the same for me, "eat until your plate is clean or you are not leaving the table". I'm glad you are feeling better. when it's all said and done how we feel health wise is what's more important.
Aww thanks! Happy to be feeling better too. But the healing journey is never over as you know. Hmm not surprised, I think that thought-process of eating until your plate was clean came from lack and maybe the slavery days.
Agree that the right type of fat is the key to hydration, rather than flushing out important electrolytes with ridiculous amounts of water! I almost fell into the blades of the blender that is veganism (after 9mo of very low animal/plant ratio) but basic research made me reconsider. Since Mar-2019, my diet is similar to that found within the Mediterranean Blue Zones. Beef fat*, beef*, chicken, eggs, oily fish & cheese are all included, although beef & chicken consumption is slowly decreasing. Cheese omelettes or smoked mackerel fillets + scrambled eggs are favourites.😃
All the best to you. Have a great 2023!👍🙏
[ *Mediterranean BZ red meat is goat or sheep, rather than beef. ]
Yes, the right type of fat is so vital to everyone (not just Vata body types) feeling and being truly hydrated. Also, the over-consumption of water has gotten out of hand so I'm excited to share more about how to consume water responsibly lol. Interesting, how is that diet working for you? I haven't had mackerel in years! Used to love it though. Do you get it fresh from a sustainable source? Thanks for the kind wishes! Wishing you an abundant, productive and graceful New Year! Much thanks for your support on this channel.
@@mygutculture Thank you!😀Most of my animal products come from the Waitrose (UK) grocery chain. Its policies on sustainability & standards, within animal agriculture, appear to be significantly higher than those of other chains, tho' market pressures must always lead to compromise. Occasionally, I "go mad" & buy local fillet steak & cod loin from a local supplier but it's eye-wateringly expensive!😭
WF* omnivore (*minimally processed) is returning far better results than ever I expected. The greatest surprise is that the "empty" signal is now separate from the "hungry" signal. Often, I don't eat anything until midday, than eat slowly & thankfully & stop before I'm stuffed (a feeling I hate). I'm enjoy my highest ever sense of well-being & food is no longer that big a deal.
Ahh, I can imagine how expensive the fish is at the local supplier. Happy to hear it's working for you!! Nothing like feeling good within your mind, body and soul! Not eating breakfast can do a number on our hormones though, especially for women. Even something light like fruits is better than nothing.
@@mygutculture You're right about breakfast!👍If ever I'm to bear healthy children, I need to take care of my hormones, although, as an older male, I'm beginning to think that my child-bearing days may be past.🤭😅🤣
Nonetheless, a slice of buttered toast or piece of fruit (chopped into Greek yoghurt) would be a good start to the day. Toast today, as it's below freezing here!❄❄❄
I’m sure the animals are happy for you that you are no longer vegan!
I have been keto for 7 years. Reversed T2 diabetes and feel better than I ever have in my life.
Awesome, so glad to hear that! Congrats on taking responsibility for your help and making changes that make you feel better.
You shouldnt eat vegan cause thats super super super silly. Humans are meant to eat animal products, hahah
What's silly about eating vegan? Curious why you say that. I've seen some people thrive on a plant-based vegan diet--not a junk food vegan diet (those don't work of course). But yea I can see why you say that humans are meant to eat animal products.
@@mygutculture We are obligate omnivores meaning we are meant to eat animal products generally, veganism is whatsoever AGAINST our nature. Yes we can thrive on a plant-based diet but what works for one will not always work for the other or other 2 and I think she is just trying to point out that we are omnivores, straight out, no lies! - a lacto-ovo pescetarian
Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome Lady P! Thanks for watching!
