Simplifying Plant Based Nutrition | TIPS TO THRIVE part 1

[@katrynaelizabeth]

Great first episode Ellen. I’ve been vegan for almost 4 years and currently 37 weeks pregnant. Being vegan has helped me become a kinder person and I’ve become more creative in the kitchen.

[@healthyjuicykayla]

3 years vegan, 28 weeks pregnant as well! I love what it does for my mental health!

[@thetruthhurts599]

Ellen, always hitting the nail directly on the head. you take your kids fruit picking, not blood dripping. Always absolute, Ellen!

[@seasonalliving2881]

I’m taking biochemistry right now in school and they literally breakdown the science behind carbs being our MAIN fuel source and the problems with low carb diets! 🌿 Our bodies were created for plants! 🌿

[@smileyhappyradio]

I need to take that class!

[@seasonalliving2881]

@@smileyhappyradio it also discussed how humans never need to eat cholesterol- which in my mind means we were designed to be plant based!

[@catherinemarie7123]

Yesss this! I took biochemistry in undergrad and I have a nutrition minor and it really was eye opening to actually see and just KNOW that we were made for plants- the science behind everything is soooo interesting I just loved it!😍 so satisfying🌿🌿

I’m not vegan, but I’m into and support a more plant based diet. Looking forward to your podcast Ellen.

what turns you off from veganism?

[@kateknowsbetter]

@@veganbutfreakingwithyourda4402 Not convinced it’s the natural optimal human diet.

[@veganbutfreakingwithyourda4402]

@@kateknowsbetter it’s the opposite of processed foods and mass production of meat is the least natural process. The cruelty that goes into it is incredibly unnatural please look into it further :)

[@kateknowsbetter]

@@veganbutfreakingwithyourda4402 Omnivores can eat a whole foods focused diet. Coming from a mineral/vitamin standpoint- cruelty is not in the picture. I hope this doesn’t sound like I’m arguing- I’m only stating my point. I am very into watching omnivore and vegan KZbin channels but the differing information between the two hasn’t lead me to an animal product free diet being optimal. I’ll keep educating myself until I find the answer that I find to be most credible. Plant based is still on the table, just not there yet :)

So excited for this podcast. Your energy is so humble and positive.

[@gaila.8830]

Well, what an intro! Gets to the point with a powerful message and image It will strike many others In a powerful way

[@aeowendarling]

11 years ago, I think I had like one KZbinr I followed who was vegetarian. I was irratated by their rants regarding eating meat, but continued to follow them because some of what they said just made sense. After watching him for a bit, I was recommended the same video you mentioned Ellen, "The Best Speech You will Ever Hear". There is a section in that video where Gary says "If you participate, you have to watch what you are doing to the animals" or something similar followed by factory farm videos. I became vegetarian overnight and vegan not long after. It changed my life completely and I don't understand why so many people are against it. It doesn't take a lot of effort, its simple, and it makes sense scientifically. Thank you for sharing!

[@MrBilld75]

Nope. Paul's delusional and the vast majority of the population can't be Vegan/Vegetarian, fact. The epic failure of that problem riddled eating disorder and it's numerous well documented problems, is more than enough evidence of that.

[@jacipinheiro6539]

[@jacipinheiro6539]

@@MrBilld75 Actually Bill, I'm not even vegan, I'm vegetarian, and the only factor I'm not vegan yet is exactly because there is no evidence at all how veganism affects your body. I think depends on lots of factors, and DNA is a big factor here...

[@MrBilld75]

@@jacipinheiro6539 I wouldn't disagree with that, everyone's a little different and indeed I do think that some people, function better on plants and some on predominantly animal products. You do you, I say. I'm not one to tell others how to eat, nor do I care. It's the lies of the Vegan cult (and sometimes Vegetarians but they tend to be more sane and moderate, lol) we have an issue with. Even honest, sane, non-brainwashed moderate Vegans are sick of their lies and pseudoscience and are calling them out on it. You know it's huge problem, when even Vegans are debunking their own, lol.

[@livbrynn9944]

Wow, Ellen! This came at the perfect time. After 5 years vegan, I felt like I was losing my knowledge and I’m ready to get educated again! Thank you so much, I look forward to seeing more soon!!

[@jamibutler1768]

I'm in your same boat, I'm excited to get educated again!❤️👏🏻

[@Tarahhh]

I also think it's important to note that this is a very privileged (though common), American perspective. I went from eating a raw food diet for 7 years in Canada where we had access to all of the things you mentioned, farmers markets, local produce, amazing frozen fruits & veg, reasonable prices for these foods...etc. I hadn't realized how lucky I was. I received a huge wakeup call when I moved to Scandinavia and found that the majority of the fruits and vegetables I was accustomed to were not available here. Everything is wrapped in plastic, there's no farmers markets, and it's only possible to get about 3 foods grown locally for 2 months of the year (potaotes, strawberries, and cucumbers). More tropical fruits, or really anything that isn't grown in a cold climate simply isn't available or is such a low quality that it isn't worth eating. It's definitely possible to live a vegan lifestyle here, but a raw food diet is near to impossible unless you have low standards, and even a whole foods lifestyle is difficult as the heartier vegetables that you'd expect to find in cold climates don't exist here either (squashes, leafy greens). I say this because a healthy vegan diet definitely isn't accessible to everyone. I was surprised that such a wealthy country like Denmark had such low standards when it came to produce, but it's simply a lack of education here. People don't know that better produce exists in other countries with similar climates, so they assume that plant foods don't taste good. It's quite bizarre.

[@Samuel-bu7xr]

It's not "simply a lack of education" as you state, it's actually quite naive and insulting of you to take this view. Perhaps research the cultural dietary patterns of Scandinavia, and observe the very obvious link between climatic conditions, geography and the favoured foods eaten as part of the native Scandinavian diets as a whole, before projecting your North American perspective and vegan values on our countries.

[@Tarahhh]

@@Samuel-bu7xr it has little to do with the dietary patterns in Scandinavia, otherwise you wouldn't see things like lychees in the grocery stores, or people eating fast food. Unless you're suggesting that Scandinavians are eating the same diet as their ancestors did? I've lived here for 6 years, and I've seen a huge lack of education about produce and the quality that people have come to expect here. Even though most food is imported, the grocery stores, who should be experts on produce, often get low quality, out of season items. Even tasty coconut in Copenhagen who claim to be experts in tropical fruits, have very low standards. There's virtually no education about produce here, especially seeing as the food pyramid is a cultural food pyramid as opposed to one based on health. The government even admitted that. When I talk to people about fruit, they have no idea how to choose a ripe fruit. People here buy hard, green mangos and think that's how a Mango should be. It comes down to the fact that they simply aren't educated about food quality, which has a lot to do with the fact that there's no culture around talking to your local farmers and understanding how food is grown. From what I've seen, Scandinavians eat the same shitty diet based on animal products as most north Americans, they just use more common items and brands found here. In a way, though, it's even worse, because there's no wide movement towards healthy eating, as the politicians spurn the advice from the WHO about adjusting food pyramids to remove or lower animal product consumption.

[@Samuel-bu7xr]

@@Tarahhh what rambling horse shit.

[@Tarahhh]

@@Samuel-bu7xr feel free to provide a counter argument.

[@Samuel-bu7xr]

@@Tarahhh to your rambling? Perhaps the longest single body reply in a comment thread on KZbin. You are speaking from a very privileged perspective, through a lens of judgement - a typical North American trait in my experience. Scandinavian countries have among the highest life expectancies. The rubbish diet you describe likely exists for some people, perhaps those you know, however, many Danish people thrive on traditional diets that consistrnt with our people's evolution. You are the one eating a diet that is an anomaly. Perhaps consider a move to the equator - it seems you want to live a tropical lifestyle.

[@jackiebaratta9629]

I really, really needed this. Thank you so much for following your heart and choosing to make this podcast. I find your channel about three years ago shortly after having my third child and I helped transition my whole family away from animal products. But lately we've been dabbling with eggs and small amounts of cheese. I so badly want to get better. We're about to have baby #5 and my very-pregnant mental state has been terrible, and I contribute 99% of it to my diet. You are an inspiration to me and I feel like this podcast has come at the absolutely best time. Thank you for this. Now, I'm going to eat my very large bowl of strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and coconut yogurt that I was inspired to make while listening to your podcast!!

[@marianapereira7257]

Hi Ellen! I’m from Portugal and I wanted to say that your podcast helped me to refocus on my Health. I’ve been vegan for almost 3 years and since the begging you became my favorite vegan and health nutrition influencer. I use to be a very healthy vegan but since a month ago I had to make a big decision in my life that made me feel very sad so I started to eat vegan fast food like almost every day😔. I gain weight, I started to feel so bad and started to feel a lack of energy that I’ve never had experienced before. Tank you so much for help me to be back on track and I wish the best for you, your family and your new podcast !! I love you !

[@theellenfisherpodcast]

wow Mariana im so happy to hear this podcast has inspired you! thanks for sharing! xo

[@smileyhappyradio]

Vegan changed my life, and I want to say how amazing I feel as a healthy whole foods vegan. It took some time for my body to feel the full effects of veganism, post vegetarianism. I tried everything, every "diet," went back and forth on what was best. I read so many books. When I went 100% vegan, making no exceptions, as vegan for life (when traveling, eating out, being at celebrations), I truly felt the change. You can't be vegan sometimes to see any difference, you would have to be a vegan at least six months straight to feel your body change, in your gut, in your skin, in your energy, and of course your mindset. The longer I was vegan, the more fit I became, as I was able to have more energy to work out longer, turning a mile walk, into 15 miles, and not feeling bad. Then I started running, I mean...everything changed in my life as a vegan. I had serious health problems (overweight, psoriasis autoimmune problems,arthritus, gut problems, low energy, eventually a heart problem, and other weird pains). Thats all gone now. I love animals, and the thought of hacking into one of these innocent creatures, versus a delicious bowl of fruit, there are no questions. Thank you Ellen for your great podcast.

I’m feeling encouraged to try again and begin that plant based journey. Thank you so much! Love you. 💕

Thank you, Ellen! I loved your emphasis on how nobody wants to work at a slaughter house so why would we even eat meats, and also on chewing your greens.

I will keep eating my greens and chewing more!

I really needed this. I've been struggling with extensive calorie restriction, long Fasting and binge eating my diet I pant based but I haven't been happy with my body since after giving birth.... I recently started working out about 4 months ago and had achieved my weight goal but was not eating mindfully. And then I cam across your original youtube fell in love with who you and your content and realized that even though I'm exercising and eat good foods I'm not actually being healthy in how I eat. Its been a struggle with relearning my body and realizing when I'm full. It's been going ok but my body seems to always be bloated now and it is kind of deterring me because my belly has always been my insecure area but you mentioning that you had weight gain for a time until your body healed that you hit your optimal weight and has maintained it sheds light it my darkest time. I will not fall back into habits I am strong and successful. I will be health in all aspects of my being. Thank you for sharing your story and experience it has done wonder for me and my life.

[@lemurianchick]

@@belladazzi Baloney. I have found that even naturopaths are not necessarily able to tell you what you should be eating. I am supposed to eat meat based on that diet. I have never tolerated dead flesh. Doesn't resonate at all. Corn is a grain. There are always contradictions in the nutritional field. You have to tune into your own body and stop looking to others to tell you what is right. There is organic soy and organic corn.

Things are crazy here with the flooding. The consequences of neglecting and ignoring climate change have reached us here. It's terrible and I hope government will reflect on that, realize the danger and change their behavior. I'm not hopeful though, more disillusioned. Consumers are not and should not be made responsible for all of this. While it's sensible to go vegan and try your best, it is still a privilege. Workers are often poor(er) in comparison, they are being exploited and grow up in this capitalist system, fueled by neo-liberal ideology and media.

[@KikisStudyCorner]

Hey :) I‘m vegan and love what you’re saying just one quick note: taking children to go fruit picking vs slaughter houses is highly dependent on the culture and where you are in the world. In some parts of the world not much fruit grows and kids don’t go pick any of them for fun, but they have animals at home or near by and definitely see them being slaughtered or even help, especially when it comes to religious slaughtering, seeing an animal being slaughtered can be normal for a child, depending on how they grow up.

[@lemurianchick]

Yeah and female circumcision is also culturally a thing. Doesn't make it okay or civilized :/

[@KikisStudyCorner]

@@lemurianchick I‘m not arguing wether slaughtering an animal is right or wrong, I‘m saying that the first argument of why slaughtering animals is wrong, because we wouldn’t show children the process, is not correct. Because in some societies to slaughter an animal is something completely normal for a child to see and even do. Or in some religious context children learn that a life is given for their own, so they can eat and survive and that is something they know is acceptable and they see it at least and a semi-regular basis. So yeah... the Argument of what children think is normal or not doesn’t really show wether or not animal slaughter is right.

I’m a weekly farmers market girl. I buy majority of my groceries from the farmers market and local farms nearby :) I only go to Whole Foods if necessary for some ingredients.
