I am not a doctor but I think your bloating and gas problem was because of too much fiber, this is a very common problem among beginner vegans.

[@lilgrl11215]

Yeah that was definitely it. Usually goes away after 6 weeks, so he was so close lol

[@yathatschris2706]

Fiber is indigestible to humans; it will never just "go away." It ferments because gut bacteria are eating away at it (humans literally CANNOT absorb fiber; the bacteria must eat it first) and they produce gas. All the vegans I've known have smelled bad lol.

[@shadowcreature7598]

Ya that's chris they meant the feeling

[@katebrooks2327]

The average person doesn’t get anywhere near what they should in terms of their fibre intake, so if you decide to try a whole foods vegan diet, the trick is to increase your fibre intake very gradually (or apply the FODMAP principles which will reap similar results). Consistency is key with fibre. It will take a little while for your tummy to adjust - but it’s absolutely worth persevering. I used to get colds all the time, but since adopting a whole foods approach, I hardly ever get colds, and when I do, they’re over so much quicker. I credit all those immune boosting fruit and veggies, the spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic etc - and elimination of foods which tend to encourage production of mucus (dairy). If you need a home remedy to replace the Manuka honey, date syrup or maple syrup would be good and cheaper too.

Burning everything that isn't recyclable isn't really equivalent to zero waste. I know many farms do it so no fault to you or your family but in terms of the goals of zero waste, the environmental impact of burning is significantly worse than landfill/mulching. Simple way to think about it is if every landfill, instead of being big piles of dirt/debris is now a forever fire because all the trash is constantly being burned.

I use a lot of hemp seeds in my cooking too as they're a good source of protein. Need to get creative for sure.

[@ish4638]

Here's the situation, from my perspective. Mike was eating what seems like a lot of processed vegan food. That'll make you pretty tired even on a non vegan diet. You're obviously going to be better off, whether you're vegan or not, eating foods that aren't processed. If you plan on going vegan, I recommend eating more raw vegetables, and foods that aren't specifically advertised as vegan. So, maybe avoid 'vegan cheese'. It's going to take a while for your digestive system to become used to a whole new diet. Cutting out a large "food group" is definitely going to give you gas or mess up your digestion somehow, but that'll probably stop once your body gets used to the change. For me, it took at least 4 or 5 weeks. I'd also bear in mind that a plant-based diet won't always result in weight loss, if that's your goal. There are a lot of plant-based alternatives to meat or dairy, which probably contain more calories, saturated fats, etc.

[@ish4638]

@noel hopley 100% agree! Veganism can be dangerous if you don't eat the right kinds of food, but so is any other diet.

[@19Thunderbird94]

One of his biggest problems were digestion and not getting enough calories, so eating only unprocessed vegan foods (beans, whole grains, raw(!) vegetables etc) would make it better? Those things are super hard to digest and higher im volume (means you need to eat way more to get enough calories). Seems pretty counterproductive, but maybe that's just me. I tried going vegan too and had to give up after a few months. I used cronometer and took supplements to hit all my nutrient targets, cooked from scratch, but my digestion killed me. Was in pain pretty much 24/7 except in the morning before I ate breakfast and I tried every hack I could find to make beans more digestible. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ish4638]

@@19Thunderbird94 actually, there are hundreds of unprocessed foods that we eat on a daily basis, and that aren't difficult to digest. Also, veganism isn't easy for the first month or so, because your body isn't used to the change in macronutrients. You'll eat less fibre on a non vegan diet, so suddenly switching it is, well, surprising to you digestive system.

[@19Thunderbird94]

@@ish4638 well, I stuck with it for more than 2 months and it got progressively worse. No sign of my body adjusting. In the beginning I was only bloated and in pain, when I stopped I had diarrhea multiple times a day to the point where I was afraid to leave the house and not making it to the nearest toilet in time. I have to completely avoid beans and limit certain vegetables, grains and seeds. My only plantbased protein options are a few select protein powders, pea based mock meats, quorn and nuts.

[@ish4638]

@@19Thunderbird94 veganism obviously isn't for everyone. I had to see a nutritionist, due to an eating disorder, and they really helped me understand the risks, what I should he eating, etc. If you're considering starting again, seeing a medical expert in nutrition is very helpful.

[@Ergmermerg]

Usually when vegans struggle with gas it's because they're eating too much fibre 🤷‍♀️ EDIT: Guys I didn't expect anyone to even respond to my comment.

I don't understand why vegans are anti eggs and milk. Cows would die if they aren't milked regularly. Sure, there probably is some negativity in drinking milk from a different species, but aside from that, drinking milk does not harm cows. Honey is also a weird thing to be annoyed over.

I was whole food plant based for 25 years. I had a mental breakdown a year ago and went to see the doctor. I was deficient in many nutrients, iodine being extremely low. I began incorporating eggs and grass fed/A2/organic dairy, while still maintaining a high vegetable intake. It took a few months, but my numbers finally came back into normal range. I feel much better. Using conventional dairy makes me sick and mucousy, but as long as it is non-homogenized, light pastuerized, grass fed, A2 protein and organic, my body is thriving!

My hubby is vegetarian and I'm plant based. I tried vegetarian for 3 months, but I gained inches (lots of bloat) and was incredibly gassy, while my hubby did great, actually gained weight on it for the first time in his life. He needed extra carbs, while I didn't. Nutrition is super interesting, in how body specific it is. 18 months later, he's still following the vegetarian lifestyle while I'm following a plant based low dairy low wheat, and we're now both feeling great and energetic! So to anyone viewing a bunch of videos to figure out what's best for them, I'm sorry to say that someone else's experience or core beliefs won't make you healthy, it's really what's best for your body, and you'll need to try things out. But for a guarantee, cutting out excess refined sugars and processed foods will help you be healthy.

I became vegetarian in 2nd grade after reading a book of food facts, which also included how hot dogs were made. I realized then that meat came from animals. My family didn't respect my choices AT ALL. I was excluded from family meals. They'd all sit at the table and eat while my little 7-year-old self was in the kitchen trying to cook for myself. Becoming vegetarian was a trial by fire. The entire world was against me but I stayed strong and eventually my family accepted it wasn't changing. Transitioning to veganism was harder for me because I thought it was something I could overcome through sheer willpower like becoming vegetarian. But Dr. Mike is right that planning is critical. The first two times I tried to become vegan overnight and I failed. The third time, I did transition overnight but I did it in tandem with research and planning out what I would do from there. And I've been happily vegan since 2019 :)

Kororo Pocoro it’s totally normal to get bloating at the beginning of your plant based diet. It happens because your body is not used to get that much fiber( which is the amount of fiber we should be consuming already). And if you’re following a balanced plant based diet, the bloating will fade away within the 2-3. week (at least that’s what happened to me)

I can say from personal experience, both of those DO get better with time, and eventually it will be completely second nature so you are not putting in so much mental effort into your diet. I was a vegetarian for about 5 years before becoming vegan for a year and I experienced the same stomach problems making EACH transition. It was odd, but it did go away after a few weeks of getting readjusted. My diet is so much a part of me now I barely even think about it, so no extra energy is being used forcing myself to eat a certain way.

@Aniruddh Sharma I'm not vegan, but mate, you should really do some basic research before calling anybody ridiculous. No vegans I ever heard of are against breastfeeding at all, where did you even get that? In fact, if anything, I heard of many vegans breastfeeding for longer than usual, until the baby weans off naturally or something, not sure what the proper terminology is. Anyway, longer than your average mom. And the reason why vegans stay away from dairy is the ethical issues, same as all other restrictions they have. Cows are mammals, so in order for a cow to produce milk she needs to get impregnated (artificially) and shortly after giving birth the calf is taken away and the milk she produces is taken. The calf is either taken to the veil industry, raised to repeat the mother's fate (if female) or just killed. Those cows also obviously live in shitty conditions, get impregnated as often as possible and have way shorter lifespans than they would naturally (because it's not profitable to let them live for long). Vegans don't think that is appropriate to treat animals like this, same as most "regular" people wouldn't like the idea of same thing happening to dogs/cats. I hope that was somewhat helpful!

I’m a registered dietitian and I’m almost done with getting my PhD in nutrition so I think I can address the gas topic. When you increase your fiber intake on any diet, it may make you temporarily gassy but typically goes away. It may take up to 2 months. Most Americans (around 96%) do not get enough fiber in their diet. It is best to increase fiber gradually. Some people are also sensitive to cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc) which can create a gassy or bloating effect but can be easily avoided in a vegan diet because there are many other vegetables to choose from (spinach, carrots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, etc). Many people also recommend switching to vegan gradually for this reason as well. Hope this helps!

I experienced the gas as well when I first switched but it went away after about three months. I guess it took awhile for my body to adjust.

[@autumnsylver]

I didn't have any excess gas unless I ate brussels sprouts or broccoli. A lot of new vegans get gas because they start eating a lot of beans, when they didn't really eat them that much before. If you gradually increase the amount of beans you eat, it helps cut down on the gas.

I love the video, but as a vegan, a can assure that 1 month is nothing close to reality of being vegan, because the first month is the hardest. It gets so good later, you even forget you are vegan, or that animal products are an option. Personally, my energy level and gym lifts skyrocketed.

Fully support veganism in other aspects of my life (e.g. vegan skincare, clothing, etc.) but being nutrient-deficient since birth, the vegan diet just isn't for people like me. Absolutely love vegan recipes, though (sometimes they're even tastier than regular food).

[@lindymerry38]

Please do a video on the Mediterranean diet! I have always wondered the same thing about honey 🍯 🤔

[@Peanutsnot]

Because its exploiting the bees and the bees health can be sacrificed. Honey is made for the bees and should stay with the bees.. that's the vegan theory.

[@argheighteen]

Honey is for bees to eat. You take it from them and they have to work harder to make more. On top of that, farmers smoke the hives to drive the bees away from the hives. What is their first reaction to being smoked? The bees will save as much honey as they can. So please don't say we are not harming the bees.

[@bearkinsbear8409]

Bees dont exist for us they dont make honey for us besides honey is bee vomit...Yum?

the bloating/gas problem usually goes away after a while. it just takes your body some time to adjust to eating so much fiber and large amounts of carbs will make you feel more bloated too.

[@extropiantranshuman]

that's not true - it'll always be dependent on certain foods. That's why people should eat protein isolates if they're just going vegan from meat, as that's what they're body's used to.

In 2017, somebody challenged me to go vegan. I was brought up Ukrainian Canadian, one thing you'll see in all Ukrainian Canadian households where I live is that beef, chicken and pork are the life force, they gave their lives to feed us and we have them with every meal. But, regardless I went vegan and the most surprising thing happened during my last week on the treatment. One day, I woke up feeling light, not like I'd lost weight but my mind was bright, I was happy, chipper, and had energy stores galore. It was like I'd spent my entire life with a loaded hockey bag on my shoulders 24/7 and someone lifted it off. Now, I didn't stay vegan, but I didn't regress far either. I went to vegetarianism where dairy is allowed, fish is allowed, and you can eat meat once a month and that's where I've been ever since. I still like beef and I love curried goat, but it's better saved for once a month. For the bloating and gas, chai tea. Black chai tea is a good fix for any GI issues, it doesn't solve any of them but it pushes them to the background until you can deal with them.

[@ScottTaylorRealtor]

I’ve been vegan for 8 years. It was easy for me to start because I’m allergic to dairy. Another thing that kept me focused is thinking about those factory farms. Going out to eat gets easier as most restaurants have vegan options nowadays.

[@anthonysuhart8530]

I noticed alot of places I go, have at least 1 or 2 vegan options. (Most arent vegan places)

[@courageouslyencouraged]

Its so manageable in 2022! My fiance isn't plant based and it's super easy to find restaurants we both enjoy!

[@MrIrrationalSmith]

Yup. 3rd generation beef industry here. Went vegan in March 2014 as someone getting a BA in ethics. I spent 2 months researching the ethics, nutrition, and environmental impact of veganism, and *Earthlings* (2005) was the final straw for me. And as a lifelong weightlifter, it hasn't hindered my progress one bit. Maybe the best decision I've ever made.

[@maliablossom7340]

Agreed. I’m not vegan but I am lactose intolerant. I had to be since I was 2015, but I couldn’t do it back than because the substitutes I found were not good and the restaurants weren’t that catering. Well, in 2020 a vegan place opened near me and a vegan pizza place that actually taste just as good as real pizza. I also use oats milk and vegan butter and ice cream flavors for summer. It’s amazing. Still not giving up meat because that’s a little much for me and plant based is expensive to buy, but maybe in the future. Nonetheless vegan options are tasting better every year

So the extra flatulence and bloating is probably due to the influx of fiber that you don't have as much of during your regular diet

[@LeafHuntress]

@@noka5730 Wash wash wash. Wash the rice/lentils/beans/ whatever you want to eat. Then soak them for a night & throw away the water to cook them in new water. If you wish to use salt, only do that at the end. There is a herb & a seaweed that can help with this, but i only know the Dutch names, so search for that, maybe you'll find some more tips. If you got the money, i ate red lentil pasta today, that's an easy(but expensive) way to add a bit of protein. Not that most westerners need the extra protein..... Oh, and if anybody else sees this, when starting to eat legumes, up them slowly. Most people don't eat enough fiber & they contain a lot, this is partly why people get gassy at first.

@@noka5730 Same! I normally eat enough fiber and still had those problems. I tried every tip in the book to improve digestion of legumes. Soaking, washing, sprouting, soaking in baking soda, cooking with added kombu but they still gave me horrible cramps and diarrhea. And low protein diets don't work for me (became overweight when I was vegetarian and ate a low protein diet because I was hungry all the time). Vegan certainly doesn't work for everyone :/

[@AarynMartin96]

The thing with honey is that even though we don’t force bees to make it, it is their food and doesn’t belong to us. And of course, bees, like any other sentient creature, can be treated unethically. So generally, if a vegan is strict enough to avoid honey, that’s why.

Mediterranean food is indeed delicious, and obviously healthy (since life expectancy in Italy for example is among the highest in the world) - only it has nothing to do with the totally artificial "Mediterranean diet". In Italy, people eat lots of white bread (really good white bread though), and pasta. No self-respecting Italian would touch "whole-grain" stuff. They also eat wonderful sausages and cheeses, more meat than Central and North Europeans, and of course sweet pastries. They also eat a lot of vegetables and drink a lot of wine. So don't bother with a "diet" but enjoy real Mediterranean food. It's definitely good for you.

[@t0fuuu102]

[@Andrea-lp3uh]

@@leonie4696 Problem is, you won't find real mediterranean food unless you travel to Italy. The sausages we make at home here are very different from the ones you buy in stores, and more expensive(even 15 to 25 euros per piece). Also, the "mediterranean" diet is actually much much different from what people imagine, we eat without discrimination every type of meat, which is sometimes not very healthy: eating red meat 3 to 4 days in a row, plus pasta at every lunch because it's a MUST. I personally would feel better with a vegan rather than a mediterranen(I tried the former and I live with the second one)

[@torgfriednilzram1248]

I am late to the party but from my experience the first few weeks are the hardest because we all are so controlled by our habits. After this first couple weeks it gets easier an easier till you can't understand why not everybody is doing it. This last point is probably one reason for the fights between vegans and non-vegans. A Tip for people who want to look into vegan food: try ist once every week and after a while maybe do it full time, as long as you feel happy about it.
