VEGAN DIET: Dispelling The Biggest Myths

I'm vegetarian for 38 years and vegan the last 3 years. And I don't have any of the diseases that are common "for my age": I don't have high blood pressure, no diabetes, no clogged arteries, no tumors, no nothing. Veganism is bad for big pharma business.

Lab grown meat isnt natural. And because of how extreme the diet is most people will still eat meat so you wont even stop the factory farms. Locally sourced, free range and grass fed all the way! support local farmers against the evil of big profit driven industry!

I switched to a vegan diet overnight after watching a graphic documentary. I started feeling week within the first few weeks and I wondered what's wrong(I was starving myself🙄).. I had done no research on what to eat and vegan nutrition. I'm glad I sat down and did my own research and ate healthier. I noticed my migraines suddenly disappeared, I stopped feeling lethargic and it also helped my grandma reverse her type 2 diabetes and her constipation issue. For those of you still skeptical, try a whole foods plant based diet for atleast a month.

It's good to hear you educated yourself instead of blaming it on the vegan diet. People think being vegan is a synonym of starvation, disease, weakness and malnutrition. It will only happen if you don't find proper information. If you don't prepare your meals the right way. If you don't take vegan supplements or are lazy to cook and do research.

I've never cooked so many different meals in my life since going vegan, It made me learn how to cook. I used to eat the same few meals every day as a meat eater and it usually involved throwing packaged stuff in the oven because all i knew how to do was fry eggs and burger patties and turn an oven on basically, but now i can cook stews, soups, pastas, sausage rolls, curries etc, and I've done enough to be able to just experiment and throw stuff together now. I just made the best ''mushroom lentil stew over mashed potato'' for the first time. I never would of been this adventurous before and learned how to cook as a meat eater, I'd probably still be putting packaged stuff in the oven and making eggs on toast every night.

The problem is not the Internet,the problem is people's lack of critical thinking, to be able to discern what is real and what is not, to be aware of their own biases, their own views and be able to question what they hear and what they see properly. When a claim is made, say Dr.M Greger makes a claim that beans are good for digestion. He is an acclaimed doctor, with credentials, he will list his sources and if you check those sources they are usually scientifically robust, and so are the to the best of our knowledge as it stands. Believing that beef is good for you because 'Brad' the buff dude at the gym said so, and because he has an 8 pack he must be right, and you enjoy beef so it must be great... The best part about science is that is true regardless of whether or not you believe it, but you have to know how to check it so you are not fooled by pseudoscience. Dark chocolate was sold as a superfood when it was scientifically proven to be good for your vascular system, sales of dark chocolate skyrocketed, the study was not robust, was only done on a few people and the study was funded by Nestle. Google or YT search critical thinking, it is important in this age of information overload that we know how to find truth.

@You are right, but I used to get a lot of gas but realized it was down to eating too quickly and not chewing my food properly. As natural plant eaters we have digestive enzymes in our saliva that break down carbs (a herbivorous trait), when you eat too fast these enzymes don't get a chance to do their job, which leads to undigested entering the small intestine, causing gas. Beyond that things like SIBO and SIFO can cause bloating and gas on a vegan diet because of the higher carb load, but fixing the problem is always a better choice than fixing the symptom.

To be honest, I think the chances that a hunter would ever have the compassion to give a vegan diet any consideration are slim to none.

I didn't notice veganism at first. My mother got colon cancer and she was the first in all our family lineage to have any kind of cancer. She went from Stage 4, through surgery, through chemo, and came out clean, and changed her diet according to her doctor. I'd been eating the same junk as her, so I cleaned up my diet. About halfway! Because a few years later my boyfriend went vegan and then I started researching it and realized the cleaner you get the healthier you get...

I actually gained quite significant weight on carbs (10kg), on a strict low fat high carb vegan diet. I was overeating like crazy because a very eloquent scammer here on KZbin said we should not limit carbs (nor sugar) and overeat heaps of it ("burn fat not oil"), and I was naive enough to follow his and his augmented gf's advice. Two years later still not recovered but getting better again. Should have found Dr. Garth Davis and his advice earlier.

Feldenkrais with Alfons How many fruits and veggies did you eat? I think not enough. You probably ate loads of pastries, cerial, crackers, candy which are NOT VEGAN.

[@swites]

Alfons why would you overeat and be stuffing in extra food thinking this would make you thin? Makes no sense. You got to think and get things in context. Listen to your body. I'm a cyclist like DR and we need a shitload of calories as on one 3hr training ride I burn up 2000Cals easy. Add to that my basal metabolic rate of around 1900Cals per day and I'd have to eat nearly 4000Cals on those days. Very hard on a mainly wholefoods diet! Most of those cycling Cals are from sugar as we burn up glycogen stores (and a little fat) so if we eat sugar or carbs, it first tops up that ~1400Cal glycogen tank. Only after that tank is full and we have balanced the Cals in/out equation will we start storing fat which comes nearly exclusively from the fat we eat. Carbs are much harder to be converted into fat, than fat into fat which obviously needs no conversion. I still eat some sugar, jam, gels in training and in races, the odd soft drink, and when measured was 5.9% bodyfat.

I eat a plant-based diet, but it is pretty silly to bring up politics and automatically align the vegan diet with hard leftism.

One of the biggest arguments is that all the communists believe that (nice way of saying it), so it is obviously wrong (paraphrasing). You will also find most SDA's (longest living population) are right-leaning also. Always best to stay out of politics when you are pushing something that really has nothing to do with politics.
