I just stumbled on this guys channel, he replied to one of my comments and this guy is for real! Very recent, he is over 500lb's trying to change, he's recording youtube video's of his process but as of this month, February 2019 he's still over 500lbs on a keto diet and I'm trying to convince him to reach out to some of the Vegan MD's you have on your show. I thought I would relay his progress to you incase you have any outreach with those doctors because I think they can save this mans life and he would just be an incredible roll model and hero for others and his family if he succeeds!

After joining the Vegan cult people continue to deteriorate, not only physically but also mentally, more and more as time goes on due to malnutrition and brain shrinkage, so it's not surprising they get more and more extreme. Also because some people are so deeply fooled and indoctrinated by the Vegan cult propaganda, as they inevitable decline and suffer other physical consequences such as digestive issues, they are more inclined to try to "cleanse" and fast in an attempt to fix all the issues they develop from Vegan malnutrition and since they are so brainwashed they keep trying more and more extreme things instead of just snapping out of it, leaving the Vegan cult behind and nourishing and healing themselves with real food again.

[@iNicky777]

@@folksurvival I do agree that a lot of vegans act cultish and jump on every fad diet trend without doing proper research before hand and therefore giving veganism a bad name. For me personally, I do believe that you can thrive on a vegan diet, from doing a lot of research and trying it for myself, however it might be difficult at times to find all the supplies you need. Will I stay vegan forever? I would love to. Will I? idk yet.. but even if I'd go back to having meat occasionally, I definitely would never go back to eating meat and dairy 3 times a day. cheers

[@agingintobeauty]

People spend decades getting sick but expect the treatment to be an instant cure - whether pill, diet, fasting - but healing takes time! We can't go vegan for a week or month or even year and expect a miracle. Yes many people have that experience but everyone's biology is different. And when healing, there is often a period of detox where the body feels safe enough to deal with a bunch of garbage from the past, and that healing process almost always feels worse that when you started.

[@agingintobeauty]

@jacob shears I don't make the definitions, I just use the vocabulary. A healing process is a state of returning to health - as stated in the dictionary.

[@agingintobeauty]

@jacob shears When the body is in a state of dis-ease or imbalance and is suffering one strives to end suffering by attaining a state of balance by reaching optimal biological functions... That is to say going from feeling bad to feeling better... not in a temporary fix, like illegal drug use, but in a long term, body functioning properly, all functions normal, therefore you feel good manner.

[@agingintobeauty]

@jacob shears YOU don't heal the body, Jacob. You give your body the nutrients it needs to heal itself. Doctors dont heal. Medicine doesnt heal. Surgery doesn't heal. The body is the ONLY thing that heals the body. Our job is to not feed the body toxins and to feed the body the essential elements it uses to keep the body functioning & regenerating.

[@agingintobeauty]

@jacob shears Clearly you have done zero research or youd know that the doctor in this video - in fact any "plant based" doctor has written books & books detailing all the things to eat in order to achieve health, with scientific data to support their claims. Go buy their books and get educated.

[@agingintobeauty]

@jacob shears Yes, I can answer it but I'm not going to. Many doctors have already done that in books & lectures. I'm not offering my opinion. I'm expressing information that has been documented. Go read it for yourself.

[@MSchipper]

[@Peaceisabeast]

If you're doing it for the animals, I have bad news for you. Guess how many animals die in soy fields to make vegan products for you to consume. They kill the mice, rats, squirrels, possums, skunks, bunny rabbits, birds, gophers, snakes, turtles, literally ALL the animals in that field when they plow them. Then they continue to kill any and all animals that would go into those fields to keep your soy beans from being contaminated or consumed by them. So hundreds to thousands of animals die all so you can feel morally superior to someone who eats a burger. One cow dies, and feeds several people with pounds of beef turned into burgers, steaks, etc.

[@gjkoolen]

@@Peaceisabeast You are pathetic, or completely misinformed. Did you know that a cow consumes a multitude of corn, etc in order to grow up. Most of the fields are to grow the ANIMALS. So mainly all the poor squirels you describe, die for the COWS, not the vegans. Plant based food is just more practical, and has a smaller ecological footprint. And it is also way more healthy (that's why I eat plant based). Maybe you should try it too..

[@rachelgoodkind6545]

Understood. Could be NAFLD?.

[@StoppingFights]

Thank you for mentioning the need for B12. Almost all the films on the plant-based diet avoid the subject of B12, meaning that the audience is set up for failure if they do not eventually learn about the need for B12. Presentations on animal rights usually avoid the subject of B12 because of motivation to present the PB diet as 100% complete, setting up the audience for failure. This issue of B12 may have tripped up many millions of well-intentioned people who have tried the PB diet, then eventually became debilitated, then returned to eating meat, all because of lack of B12.

[@anonimogonzalezperez4951]

I know vegan people (10, 20, 6 years or more long), with no or sparingly comsuption of b12 and they were or are healthy. B12 human sources are not enough studied yet, but a b12 supplement won't do any harm, even more, it should be recommended for everyone, as b12 deficiency or low level is a widespread problem in all population.

[@kbel4872]

@@mujinhanfearlessmu9072 Exactly, and that's what the ag industry wants you to be blind to. I used to eat what was considered a very healthy omnivorous diet yet I had Major deficiencies (severe anemia, b12 deficient, d3 deficient, etc.) so blaming a well-planned vegan diet for ill-health is a bit too simplistic. I will say however that many do not have the time to meal prep in order to have a healthy vegan diet. My take on it is that if the general population cut out beef and diary, ate very limited eggs and fish, and ate a diet filled mostly (>90%) with nutrient-dense plant foods (rainbow diet-carrots, sweet potatoes, dark leafy greens, legumes, sea veggies, etc.), we'd all be better off.

It's not the stomach contents of plants that are avoided, but the acid in the stomach. Other accounts are from zoos, but in zoos the animals just don't eat or do what is completely natural to them. I have an article that speaks about partial prey consumption, but it mentions nothing about the predator leaving out a certain edible part. It can be any edible part of the animal that is left, due to varying reasons. Nothing about always leaving the intestinal contents, or anything like that.

@@carinaekstrom1 This is simply not true. Too many vegans think they are experts on animals and hunting in general. Many predators do not eat the stomach. They avoid it.

Fuhrman's Nutritarian designed and focused way of eating is IMO one of the best ways for us to eat. It's 95-99% animal protein free and as he notes, allows the highest degree of health and lowest risk of disease. Whole Foods are where it's at for sure. Eat for nutritional excellence.

[@Jamiejamjar]

Tim Sheif, good point, I think that seasonal change in Autumn requires higher intake of carbs and denser calorie intake in my view and it was in the Autmn when Tim ate animal products. Ravenous in Autumn, I find this every year, so I don't fast during transitioning seasons, but instead eat more calorie dense vegan foods.

[@sonja4164]

You know now that you mention it, I start craving more dense foods as soon as October rolls around.

Ive been wondering why vegans die when they claim theirs is the healthiest diet. So i researched it and for ages got no real answers. Then i found this guy. He is so up front and honest about the whole vegan situation. Im so happy about his transparency and actually being thorough instead of making out its greatness without addressing the issues. So when the interviewer said he was overcomplicating things therefore scaring off newbies, i got annoyed. You have to be humble about the reality of veganism and have all the facts or your no better off from a health point of view than a meat eater. He was trying to purport a reductionist view of veganism just to get people on board. You cant pull the wool (or other non animal based covering) over peoples eyes just to rally them to your side.

[@frankp.3197]

The thing is, no one obviously knows what humans "should eat". Just look at general statistics in health in the early 1940's. Cavities were an oddity, cancer was as rare as gold, and type 2 diabetes didn't even exist, as far as anyone knee then you only had diabetes if you were born that way. So let's start in the early 40's, early 30's even you can see the difference in the world health to the 40's because of the invention of refined sugar in the mid 30's. But the early 40's is when the the governments of the world decided to come out with food guides and telling people what they should and shouldn't eat. So if you look at any health chart from anywhere in the world starting in the 40's to know, the minute someone in some government started telling people what's good for them, well any chart will show a steep incline in every modern deseases, mainly autoimmune deseases and weird allergies. Things that people didn't even get prior to that. You can even read papers from the world dental association, they thought there was some new mouth bacteria that was causing cavities and tooth loss, turns out 7 years later a dentist made th connection in taxas to the recent invention of refined sugar. If you look at hard numbers, fuck studies, they are worthless at this point since there are no consequences for straight up making bullshit and pandering it as valuable information. Hard numbers don't lie, the day anyone told anyone what they should and shouldn't eat, is the day the charts starting racing up along with every modern deseases, %64 of Canadians are obese, and they are behind us as the fastest country. I'm pretty disgusted with people when I go out, so sick of looking at guys with moons flopping around, women with love handles that they tuck into their socks, it's fucking disgusting, but if you ask any of them I'm sure they are following someone's fucked up advice. Like humans existed for nearly 200,000 years, a good portion of that in the ice age. That's hard packed dozen dirt, where was the vegetation then? You think grabbing a rock digging in the snow for hours to get a root you probably can't cook. So humans had it all wrong before 80 years ago? Turns out that you need 100 types of vegetables, beans, nuts, oh and supplements. How does this make any fucking sense, I love to hear just one vision of how this would have played out then, just one, because trying to find even one of those things on the snow is a lost cause, let a lone harvest and cook it, at that time a human needed 4000 Calorie to survive the cold, you were most definitely not getting 4000 calories from plants in an ice age, it's fucking ridiculous, some humans, depending on where they were, lived in those conditions for over 40k years. The first piece of plastic we made hasnt event begun to bio degrade yet, refined sugar hasn't even hit it's 100th birthday yet. But ya, keep listening to the "docs" and ignore the fact when you go out everyone is so sick and fat looking, and the tell yourself you know what they don't, so even if you look like them, soon you won't because your following a KZbin "Dr", mmmmmm hmmmmmm. It's the perfect logic of today's world, mindless sheeples looking for the next thing to be told, what to ear, what's right and what's wrong, what good your worship, or none, people were worried about AI, people are already essentially functional AI with many flaws, people are sheep, but are quick to compromise even their own values, so even if your u indoctrinate them into some ideology, there is nothing stopping them from taking that ideology that was shit to begin with, and make it even worse.

I think there is a lot of good info here, excellent interview. Thanks for this interview. I think high-density nutrition foods should be added to the diet as a must. High starch foods are really important for athletes to maintain good weight. I fuel my base on starchy foods but hit the beans and greens, berries, allium foods hard for health. I don't do many nuts or like nuts because I would eat peanut butter and dark chocolate and my cholesterol went up. I still need to see the evidence that things like peanut butter and almonds can reduce cholesterol in people who have a family history of high cholesterol and heart disease. Are we missing something and is Essylten MD very wrong about nuts? I cut out dark chocolate because of the two types of saturated fat in it that raise cholesterol production. What is the real truth about nuts with people at risk for heart disease?

[@The-Rain-Ninja]

@The Natural Health Blogger have you seen the latest video on VegSource? Just wondering what your thoughts were on his response to this. Thanks for the info.

[@l21n18]

The Natural Health Blogger Mcdougall isn’t saying to eat 10 bowls of white rice or even promoting it, the only thing he has said is that it isn’t a deal breaker in his diet. The whole point of the kempner diet was extremely low protein and sodium, I believe because it was initially used for people with severely compromised kidney function. The problem with drawing broad conclusions is that people have lived in various amounts of fat the diet throughout history and seemed to be successful. I wouldn’t dismiss people’s complaints about problems with a low fat diet, but I have also heard similar complaints about a keto diet, specifically losing periods which seems strange considering its the opposite of a low fat diet. At the end of the day I think the only way any diet will work is if someone can actually stay on it. I find Fuhrman’s approach of tons of raw vegetables with nuts and seeds as well as little starchy foods beyond legumes to not be very doable (to me) even if it is the most healthy diet.

[@EnLaMitad]

Always amazed at Joel Fuhrman's youthfulness. He's definitely my number one vegan doc. He doesn't play the "give them what is attainable" game. He tells you straight up what is optimal and lets you decide whether you are going to take it all the way. Plus... not sure if anyone is even watching VegSource anymore, but that dude is off his rocker in the last year or so.

Dr Fuhrman is one of my heroes. That does not mean I accept anything he says at face value. For example, I take into account, when evaluating this interview, that he does sell supplements. I do supplement my diet with B12, and D3 in Winter, not because of what a doctor said on KZbin, but because of studies published in the peer reviewed literature which I read. Most of what he says here is spot on, but I think his conflict of interest dilutes the message. That said, your interviews are very helpful. Thank you.

According to an interview in the U.S. News and World Report with Walter Willett, chair of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, as long as ALA intake is adequate, your omega-3 levels are likely fine.

If I was a billionaire, I could afford a carefully curated plant-based diet and a lot of other things. Getting on plant-based diet has been one of the hardest I’ve ever done. I tried to cut everything bad out all at once and got sick even though I ate whole foods. Now I’m eating some meat 1-2x a week and keeping some healthy carbs in my diet, hoping this will help me to stabilize. Being free of carbs and meat doesn’t work for everyone, and everyone’s pace living meat-free is different. Baby steps to start, and not being too hard on myself has been the real challenge.

As human beings our bodies are all different. To say that one diet can suit all of mankind is unrealistic. We are born with different genes, different gut biomes, and different food cultures. What works for each invidivual will be different. It is important that we take stock of this. Someone leaving the vegan community doesn't mean that they got it wrong or that the vegan community is wrong. It simply means it didn't work for that individual. The more we try and find flaws and criticise others the more it suggests we don't quite trust ourselves and so must scramble to validate our own way of life. If we are confident that we are making the right decisions we should stand firm in that, and leave others to their own lives.

I have to say that I'm not very impressed by Dr. Fuhrman's message here. He keeps saying "nuts and seeds" but Jeff Nelson is only talking about nuts. None of the doctors are opposed to seeds, even Dr. Esselstyn, who just says to not eat handfuls of them. Dr. Esselstyn also is very clear that his opposition to nuts (for his heart disease patients) is that it is extremely difficult to just eat a few. Jeff Nelson says this too. I am deeply disturbed that in this video, nuts, again and again, are the *first* thing he lists among the vegan foods people should eat. Nuts are not a magic superfood, not compared to legumes/beans and greens!

The Natural Health Blogger Nuts in their natural form do come in hard shells and its not quite the same as going down and buying a giant quantity that’s already been shelled and often salted as well.

I typically don't get involved in these types of discussions because it's like a religious argument. There will most likely never be agreement amongst the various followers of the various religions. At this point in time, the scientific consensus is that plant-based foods promote optimal health for the majority of people. No that doesn't mean that we are all going to be able to eat the exact same foods and thrive. I would suggest to everyone that you seek out a primary healthcare professional that you trust to work with. Get assessed to understand what your current state of health is and then work together with professionals (not You Tubers) to optimize your overall health and most importantly, happiness. Make tweaks to your diet, exercise (physical and mental), sleep, spiritual practices, and personal relationships. Measure the effects along the way, keep the good and throw away the bad. I eat what is best for me, I don't do it because a person on KZbin recommended it or changed diets for the third time. I do it because it is the best approach to diet for me and my body. I have my own spiritual beliefs that work for me. I keep physically active in a way that works for me. What works best for you, is the "right lifestyle".
