Hi.......big fan of Arvind's

[@abhilashmadhav.m536]

The man who pushed me into veganism. Going strong for 3 months 💪🌱

[@ponnamy]

Congrats, you can do it. Please take vitamin B12 regularly.

[@ponnamy]

Please read the book "Becoming Vegan: The Complete Reference to Plant-Based Nutrition (Comprehensive Edition)" by Brenda Davis, RD and Vesanto Melina, MS RD for proper vegan nutrition guidance. Happy vegan journey!

[@voiceofvegans]

Take care of your nutrition. If you understand hindi, pls watch this. Very old video...watch it at 1.5x kzbin.info/www/bejne/gauThXxpntRgn9k

[@Akshaykumar-h4z1g]

He made his entire career using Sadhguru's name !! What a pity way of gaining attention. I'm pretty sure people who follow him one day when they get to know the truth that this guy made his entire career using Sadhguru's name will down look at him for taking such a step. If you have followed Robin Singh of Peepal farm , that guy is far better than him, atleast he respects people, adding more informative content, his approach is generous whereas this guy thinks bashing non vegetarians can lead people to get enlightened and realisation of being vegan.

[@lauratanln]

I have always wondered about safety and security issues for activists especially for Asia, where freedom of speech and activism are not as well tolerated but I dared not ask. Now I got the answer. I'm also very obsessed about animal liberation and thinking, reading, watching everything about veganism for the past 2 years to the extent I have no time for music, movies etc. And I am so grateful to your wife as well for enabling you to do all your god's work.

[@shreyaaashree]

WOW! AMAZING! two of my favorite activists together!! I watched the whole podcast and IT WAS SO INSIGHTFUL and it was so amazing to know Arvind's story! I am loving your new series of podcast, it's amazing!! I love all the things you guys talked about it was a really fun watch! and Arvind is even more passionate and emotional than I thought! I love how he cares so much about animals! But he should also take care of his mental health, I remember watching a cow killed from a hammer on her head this footage was also from Kerela and I could't sleep at night too, I prolly cried for 3 hours, but now I am desensitized to these kind of footages I dunno if it's a good thing or not, but in contrast my ethics towards animals only grew stronger, I was a lacto-vegetarian my whole life and have been vegan for 2 years now. Anyways, Keep going both of you! Voice of Vegans and Arvind Animal Activist are amazing amazing people who do a LOT for animals! Don't get burned out by the overwhelming amount of work, we are always with you and rooting for you! :))

[@scienceislove2014]

Some people often have the perception that in order to be compassionate, you must either compromise your health or resort to costly vegan foods and supplements. I wanted to clarify this notion because it can be challenging, particularly if you were raised with traditional remedies like chicken soup or, in my case, haldi doodh (turmeric milk) when you were unwell. Whenever I fell sick, my mother would bring me a cup of milk with turmeric, gently feeding me while I rested my head on her lap. The placebo effect likely facilitated the healing process. Even though my mother is an educated individual, she continued to administer what she was given as a child, creating an emotional bond rather than mere pleasure. It’s about the quality time spent with someone who deeply cared for you. I recognize that for others, it may be even more poignant if their mother, grandmother, or loved one provided them with comforting remedies like chicken soup. As one matures, the emotional connection often intensifies. At 17, I still subconsciously believe in the healing power of turmeric milk, especially as my mother continues to offer it to comfort me. Consequently, I drink soy milk with turmeric. Despite my aversion to milk’s taste, which I found unpleasant, it was a source of solace during times of illness, akin to a comforting hug from my mother. To me, turmeric milk symbolizes a mother’s embrace, medicine, and assurance of recovery. However, now when I encounter milk, I am reminded of the cows that are slaughtered for it, shifting my perspective significantly.. So.. If you’re thinking about going vegan because you care about compassion but aren’t sure where to start, I’ve got you covered. It can be pretty confusing figuring out what to eat once you cut out meat and dairy, even if you didn’t really pay much attention to your diet before. If you’re Indian, you’re already used to a plant-centered diet, so it’s mainly about replacing dairy. If you want to avoid supporting the dairy industry and still keep costs low, you can start with a simple, budget-friendly, nutritious meal plan. Just gather all the healthy dishes you know, and we’ll go from there. If you, as an Indian, want to avoid supporting the cruel dairy industry while not breaking the bank, you can start with a simple, low-budget, yet highly nutritious meal plan. Gather every dish you consider healthy, and then we’ll discuss the next steps. But first, let’s talk about two essential nutrients: Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3. If you don’t get outside for at least 25-30 minutes 3-4 times a week, you might suffer from Vitamin D3 deficiency. Even carnivores (those who eat a meat only diet) struggle to meet their Vitamin D requirements from food alone, often reaching less than 15 percent.Therefore, you should either supplement weekly or spend a bit more time in the sun. Now, for Vitamin B12: you can either take shots (which I do every alternate month) or a pill once a week. This is both natural and safe. However, be cautious with fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamin D; it’s best to consult your doctor for the appropriate dosage. Vitamin B12 is generally safe, but you can also take multivitamins like Axbex or Zincovit-just pop one in, and you’re set for the day. This is especially important for busy people, like pre-med students or those with hectic schedules. Here’s the food that works for our household, as these are our staples. Protein sources- Chickpeas Soy chunks (this is cheap and healthy..and has anti cancer properties..well anything soy has anti cancer properties except for soy bean oil) Tofu Soybean Beans like kidney beans or mung bean Lentils (a mix of lentils) Quinoa (quinoa is cheap.. and very healthy..) Amaranth (i buy muesli from peepal farm) Millets (Indians love millet..these are not particularly high in protein but they're amazing) Chia seeds (not just protein but amazing fats as well...but be sure to soak em) Flax seeds (these are literally superfoods..) Green peas Hemp seeds (we don't use it but they're really good) Tempeh (i don't have access to these but again ... they're so good) Legumes or Pulses in general are so good for you.. Nuts and seeds (amazing protein and fats .) Greens - Cabbage/cauliflower/brocoli/Brussel sprouts (if available) Leafy greens like spinach or kale Beet root Carrots Cucumber Amla (it's a fruit but they're the best. Period) Bell pepper 🫑 Bitter gourd And the list goes on and on.. Be sure to eat regional vegetabls cuz India is pretty diverse ...so eat your greens..and go local ... Peanut butter (peepal farm) Try to incorporate more colour into your food ....or maybe give permaculture ... Or give permaculture a shot if you have the time..and space.. Dishes i eat.. Dosa (this is my fave ) Lentil curry with rice Rajma chawal Idli sambhar Indian version of chilli (that has chickpeas , rajma , ground soy chunks , carrots , bell pepper, 🍅 tomatoes, etc) Yellow pea chat Litti chokha Soy bean biryani Soy bean ki sabzi (i eat lil to no oil) Chana masala (chickpea curry) Oat porridge with apples and bananas and chia seed on top Indian version of chilli (that has soy chunks , Pinto beans or white rajma , chickpeas , bell pepper 🫑, carrots , onion and garlic 🧄, indian spices, some soy sauce, tomato puree..and a bunch of other healthy ingredient..this can double as bhaji for pav bhaji) Quinoa oat cinnamon banana porridge without any milk.. you could add some chia or nuts of your choice.. Black mung daal seasoned with salt South Indian style besan tofu sauted in curry leaves and mustard seeds with sauce.. Chola chana chaat with aloo ki tikki .. (we make it bland cuz we like it bland..) Flax seed and jaggery dumplings Red lentil uttapam Yellow pea chat (Quinoa+daliya+millet+rice) mung bean khichdi with added veggies Daal Dhokla Pakal tofu paneer Mushroom biryani Oat dense chocolate fudge cake (dessert 😁) Mix veg soy bean sabzi (quite runny....pretty similar to a soup.. but very tasty.. i like bland stuff ) High protein muesli ... Tofu scramble (we eat homemade tofu.. ) Whole mung daal with lime juice squeezed on top and some diced onion..(with roti) Quinoa raita with (peanuts+cabbage+carrot+apples) and other tempering We use homemade soy yogurt because I’m not big on store-bought or convenience foods, unless I’m really starving. These are the dishes I grew up with, so you might do things a bit differently. Make a list of essentials that work for you. I make sure to eat at least two protein-rich dishes each day-like chana masala in the morning and khichdi for lunch or dinner.
