Plant base whole food lifestyle changed my life 14 yrs ago. At sixty I had so much energy I started training and running marathons. Started CrossFit and competing in obstacle and desert races. Finishing in the top 15% . CrossFit comps in the 714 in the world in my age group. I’m now 71 and I get asked all the time my age and I consistently see the look in the eyes and the jaw drop. I have no wrinkles in my face . I have been able to maintain a weight of 143 at 5’6” . I move well , sleep well and love life.

[@kathys9716]

@shadowman4966 wow - I wish I had your results. When I tried to go plant based, I gained so much weight! When you take out animal products, you have to replace them with something. That something is grains and beans. I don't know what i did wrong, if anything. What seems to work for me is a diet of both vegetables and some meat, easy on the grains. An important part of my diet is the careful selectiion of the animal products I eat - no grocery store meat or eggs. I buy only from a local farm where animals live outside during the warmer months, free to forage, to run around and to act like animals. I've visited the farm. I know that not everyone has that option. If I could go plant based without being overweight or pre-diabetic, I'd considered it. I really did give it a good effort, but I guess it's not for everybody.

I'm just not used to it, I eat mostly plant based but trust me I notice the difference night and day. It's a very clean feeling it's hard to describe, I do eat meat here and there but I quickly remember why I want to stop it's just that I'm so used to it. You have to try it, it seems difficult but trust me I burn 1200 calories and still work out, when I ate dairy and protein bars and shakes I hated being bloated, you don't with vegan foods you just feel enough and clean which I'm not used to because I would always be hungry.. give it a try

After eight weeks following their respective diets, the twin siblings who ate a vegan diet had lost more weight, reduced their LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and experienced lower insulin levels, according to the study's findings. "The findings from this trial suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared with a healthy omnivorous diet," the study's authors wrote. The study, published Nov. 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open.

Regularly eating red (beef and pork) and processed meats in particular is associated with a higher risk of TYPE 2 DIABETES, according to an analysis of data from 31 study cohorts published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.

@georgewilson7808 These studies are often problematic. A red meat meal in such studies can consist of a beef patty, a sugary soda drink, starchy toxic oil-filled french fries, sugary sauces, and a highly processed wheat bun. Is the beef a problem in this meal? I think not!

@@jays7318 Not this study. They ate the same diet and calories except for the meat in one diet. 22 sets of twins tried both vegan and meat diets. Researchers at Stanford University studied the twins' cardiovascular health. After eight weeks following their respective diets, the twin siblings who ate a vegan diet had lost more weight, reduced their LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and experienced lower insulin levels, according to the study's findings. "The findings from this trial suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared with a healthy omnivorous diet," the study's authors wrote. The study, published Nov. 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open. Twin study Addendum: The telomere caps measured longer in the vegan group and shorter in the meat group suggesting the meat eaters were aging faster.. Additionally, the Epigenetic Biological clocks showed the vegan group was aging more slowly and the meat group was aging more quickly.

@@jays7318 More than just LDL when vegan and carnivore swapped diets for 28 days: On the carnivore diet you are going to experience low energy after eating. You are going to experience constipation because you are not eating any fiber. Your insulin level will be nearly double on the carnivore diet. Cortisol level is a measure of how stressed the body is and it will go up on the carnivore diet. IGF-1 is a measure of cancer risk; IGF-1 will increase on the carnivore diet. C reactive protein is a measure of inflammation in the body; C reactive protein will increase on the carnivore diet. Testosterone gives males youth and vigor; your testosterone levels will plummet on the carnivore diet. LDL cholesterol is a health marker of risk of heart attack and stroke; LDL will go up on the carnivore diet.

Heres how Mad Cow Disease developed. How did BSE develop in cows? Feed contamination Cows became infected by eating feed that contained prions from other cows or sheep that were sick with BSE. Meat-and-bone meal The primary source of BSE in cattle was meat-and-bone meal that was contaminated with prions. Rendering process A change in the rendering process in the late 1970s may have allowed the prions to survive.

Really, that's strange.... I left plant based and went carnivore 2 years ago, my cholesterol went down, I lost a little weight and feel great, multiple other things have improved also and I haven't been in the hospital once....😊

[@ozziedelreal3260]

I was former plant based for years, developed savere arthritis began to eat unhealthy I recently restarted my nutrition research again about a year ago. Now I do i mixture of plant and 100% grass fed carnivore. I take the top of the top from each. We also forget that we are more bacteria and that our microbiota has more say on our cellular production, repair, mitochondria so looked into fermented foods so now my lifestyle is mixture of plant based, carnivore and fermented foods like kombucha kimchi sauerkraut honey fermented foods and especially kefir from raw milk.

Damn Salley. I knew better and had been practicing plant ☘️🌵 base, but watching this video knowing I was cheating today by eating fried chicken 🍗 - I'm done. I don't feel healthy right now. Reminds me how I felt when you spoke about eating 🥚 s. You got me again. It's the guilt that makes my body feel worse.

[@kyledayson4642]

Love John! I used to watch him play ball as a child. I knew he was vegan. I had no idea it has been since 1991 😮… Amazing… he looks 10 years younger than he is… and he’s still hilarious 😂… great interview

I stopped eating 🍔 hamburgers in 1992. Denzel Washington gave a speech to all the students at Howard University on his special diet for the movie he was doing it was plant based. That same night I ate my last burger. I didn’t go vegan, I went Vegetarian. I had acne so bad up until Covid. I researched chemicals in popcorn 🍿 went vegan after watchig Earthlings. I cried for 😢2 Hours of my ignorance. That was during our Shutdown. He is so on it. Whole Foods plant diet is the medicine. Some need medication but many don’t need it. Sad😢Sad! My people will perish for lack of knowledge, but it also says “Let no one judge you by what you eat or drink.” Once I saw that in the Bible I left my people alone. I walk by example. I just started telling stories. My burger 🍔 story will be next on my KZbin. It’s like someone is listening to my conversations. This is great stuff. He speaks eloquently. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@soccersprint]

Everybody is different. There are some people whos medical issues went away when they switched to all meat diet. In other cases there were people whos health improved when they switched to vegan diets. Others improved their health when they balanced their diet with both vegtable and meat diet with removal of processed food and removal of foods with added sugar. People have to find the diet that works for them. Its not a one diet fits all situation.

I been on raw fruit vegetables n nuts since the 1st of the year n it’s crazy how fast things change n bowl movements lord 😂 inflammation drop tremendously

[@victoriaawofodu1412]

My opinion is that, we should observe ourselves and go what our body can tolerate and not judging others based on the kind of things they eat.

[@TheProphet-gc1pt]

I'm a plant based eater. But everyone doesn't have to follow whole food plant based to be healthy and lie long and healthy. I eat Fish eggs and some chicken n occasion. But mostly plant based. By the way Jesus wasn't a vegetarian. He ate fish and lambchops by the way. So you don't have to make being a vegetarian a religion even though i do believe in the health benefits. But it's more than just not eating meat or viseversa.

[@dj.h7424]

have a watch of christspiracy if you can. it's pro-jesus don't worry, but does explain animals in bible etc in a better way, somd church stuff these days isn't great.

[@theprophet5385]

I'll watch but scripture overall doesn't condemn those that are not vegetarians. Actually commands against calling things unclean that he had cleaned. I'm pro vegetarian but just careful not to give plants place where God should be.​@@dj.h7424

I like tour channel as I have been getting interested in eating a mostly plant based diet with the exception of a little seafood. If you have any more suggestions of places to learn more healthy cookingn options please post them 🙏

God told me to eat the animals and fruit so im gonna do just that

Only issue I have with Salley is he is an investor in Beyond Meat. Still a highly processed product. Other than that, love the work he is doing.
