@@ByDesign333if you haven’t read it, I’d suggest reading How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger. He goes into detail on peer-reviewed nutritional studies and explains (through science and evidence) why a plant-based diet is the best for optimal health and longevity and how it can reverse and prevent heart disease. He donates all profits to charity, he’s not a grifter (and it has 4.5 ⭐️ on Amazon from 28,000+ reviews)! Also the book personally changed my life for the better!

Back when I was in my 50's I was obese, had terrible numbers and Diabetes, and basically was a professional couch potato. At 58, I switched to a Vegan diet, started losing weight and am now 120 pounds less. At 72, the Diabetes is long gone, all my numbers are in the healthy range, I take no pills except a B12, and I am a regular visitor to the gym. Never felt better!

But we can always hear the guilt. People know vegan is better for so many reasons.

It’s really tiresome especially as a young woman watching so many people propped up as examples of beauty and health mask their disordered eating under the guise of veganism. Not only is it morally questionable in regard to the very real and serious movement it undermines. It also doesn’t leave room for accountability in recovery. It leads to a gateway of shedding one disordered eating pattern for another and discrediting something that is so positive for so many others who aren’t eating restrictively, potentially discouraging new comers and leaving a terrible example of how to care for oneself the planet, and animals in its wake. There is a self centeredness in this framing of veganism that people consistently refuse to acknowledge.

Ah, got to love sarcasm 😂 I'm not surprised the Torygraph (and other s**trags) vomiting out uncited (or citing biased) research to attempt to back up their claims/agenda of anti-veganism. If such amti-vegan types did real research using credible sources, they'd find a vegetarian diet is healthier and a vegan diet is even more healthier, with lower health risks, lower environmental/ecological/climatic impacts. I have a health condition that does affect my weight gain, muscle growth ability, absoption, etc. and yet going plant based I found I was generally healthy, stopped feeling bloated and clogged, had better blood work figures and had a more stable weight (I still need to gain weight, which is a constant challenge). I have to wonder, as veganism and plant-based products are growing in numbers year on year, if the meat and dairy industry are massively funding such articles and propaganda (I mean, it's almost a guarantee tbh)

Meat, dairy, feed and subsequent chemicals account for at least 75% of Big Ag's profits. What you're seeing is hundreds of million$ spent buying off media and "influencers".

Lobbyists are sending influencers NDAs and then paying them to produce content. Political groups are also doing this. Its rampant and very destructive.

I want to share my story which keeps getting deleted on carnivore channels. I have been eating a WFPB diet for nearly my entire life. I am a 51 year old female who has been an athlete since I was 3 years old. I currently body build as I have been for over 35 years. I have never had a health or weight problem. I have been so fortubate to have stellar health. I have been vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and plant-based omnivore. I should also note that nutrition has always been a passion of mine and I earned my BS and PhD in nutrition. I was taught over and over the benefits of plant-based diets.Two years ago I heard Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discussing muscle protein synthesis on a podcast. I looked into her more as well as her mentor Dr. Don Layman. I started adding more peotein in the form of meat to help my physique as a result of their research and recommendations. One thing led to another and I decided to try a carnivore-type diet 😳 to "experience" all these "amazing" and "life changing" benefits so many people rave about. For one, yes, the additional protein does make you feel a bit super human...until it doesn't. I started following the carnivore doctors. Over time I started to feel a "heaviness" in my body and mind, and my body didn't feel "clean" like it does with plants. I started to feel nauseous eating the meat...almost feeling like vomiting. But, keto became my new way of life for over a year and a half. That's when my body started to go downhill. I had to take tons of electrolytes as my body could not regulatey electrolytes on such a low carb diet. Over a year and a half in, I started to feel dizzy and not quite right. I was experiencing anxiety as well. One night my heart went into arrhythmia and scared me nearly to death. My husband took to me to the ER. I had slight hypokalemia. After more than 8 hours of this arrythmia, it finally corrected. I thought I was ok, but I worried it would happen again. Two months later, it did...two ER visits within two weeks. My blood pressure had gone up as well and I wasn't happy with my bloodwork. It was the animal-based keto diet causing the issues. I started using my reason again and tapped into my education, found some plant-based doctors and did a literal "180." Well guess what? Everything corrected itself almost overnight. My heart was, thankfully, not damaged, but I still get some palpitations ebery now and then. The anxiety lifted like a veil within a couple days. My point in sharing this is that plants are a VITAL part of the human diet. Animal protein is not necessary. I felt so awful eating all that meat. In fact, I even experienced horrendous GERD from all the animal fat. I was literally miserable and didn't look forward to eating becauee it hurt my stomach so much and I felt depressed. Not surprisingly, my body felt amazing going back to WFPB. Maybe carnivore is working for metabolically damaged people, but for healthy people, I really do believe it is dangerous. People need to hear this! I am now $10K in debt because of the medical bills I should have never had to have. I am angry at myself for not going back to my WFPB diet sooner.

I was born and raised in Iceland so when I heard the actress say that on Mr. Colberts show I could kinda understand why she felt persuaded. However as you said she was most likely just in chronic calorie deficit which she would mend with those "health bars". Not sustainable. Countless times on KZbin we have seen vegan - especially vegans that have adapted the raw vegan diet - stop on the diet due to the simple fact that calorie deficit on that magnitude is not sustainable - not to mention the care to details such as the supplements. Adressing the supplements is something carnivore community is very keen to do - failing to realise the exceptional industrial complex that the beef industry and animal industry as a whole has developped into. The sad thing of all this is - that people are no longer able to eat a balance diet and thus the industry themselves are adding all this stuff to the animals feed. Not to mention the enourmos amount of antibiotics used on animals each and every day. Nobody likes being told what to eat. I get that. But nobody deserves living a whole life in a denial created solely by a industry of profit. Cheers.

"Meat is the best source of protein." Where did the animal get that protein? "We need dairy for calcium." Where did the cow get the calcium? "If you don't eat meat you'll became iron deficient." Where does that iron come from?

Love you Mic but marketing seeds to vegans based on its effectiveness against constipation is like marketing bicycles to a fish 😂😂 We ain't constipated out here

@gdaymates431 Ай бұрын

I mean, I am from time to time haha. Other things can causes constipation. Travel, stress, changes in job, relationship breakdown, reduced activity.

To be fair, when Anne Hathaway ate that “oatmeal paste,” it was when she was deliberately losing weight for her role in, “Les Miserables.” She went on a starvation diet in preparation for that role, eating only a couple hundred calories per day. When she’s referenced that diet in interviews, I don’t believe she’s ever termed it a vegan diet, but rather a starvation diet. She’s also said that it had a profoundly negative effect - not just on her physical health, but also on her mental health. I didn’t even know she had been vegan at one point.

Vegetarianism is just a diet though. Veganism is an ethical stance that includes being plant based. So even just plant based is not exactly veganism which includes being against all animal products and enslavement.

Masterful debunking! (as always!!) Such a shame journalists aren't held to any sort of standard and such articles can still be published, especially when (for the environment) it's more imperative than ever that we go plant-based. (And needless to say, it's more important than ever for the poor animals that we all go vegan 😢)

As a person who constantly has to use her brain (medical student), do you know what makes my brain light up? Sleep. Sleep and eating food that I know an animal didn't die for. Any issues I have with my diet is because of MY choices, e.g, not eating enough protein rich foods when I am studying for exams because = stress. I basically live off tea and biscuits. I don't blame being vegan on that, I blame the brutal hours of medical school and the pressure to pass. I'm on a break now and am currently cooking tons and dehydrating food so that when I go back to uni I will always have a store of healthy meals that just need some water added to them. Absolutely loving the process.

I started my vegan journey in 2010, when I turned 40. I stayed with the lifestyle until the pandemic, when in my area, fresh produce was hard to find. Long story short, 3 years after switching back to S.A.D. I had a stroke. Currently in therapy, and transitioning back to a plant based lifestyle

I try to be a whole food vegan but I've known some 'junk food vegans.' Beer and chips, fake meat and french fries, fry everything! I'm not being a purist but there seems to be too many vegan plates that lack greens and fruit. We still have work to do in vegan messaging

At the same time a lot of people think they have to give up everything "fun" to be a vegan. I love pizza and curries and I still get to eat them regularly, along with a new bunch of healthy meals

@cgottschify 3 ай бұрын

We dont have to message that the right way to be vegan is to not be a "junk food vegan". We should be pointing out that non-vegans arent all eating perfectly either. So many times you hear protein brought up as lacking in vegan diets because "vegan =/= healthy", but no one is making non-vegans eat lots of protein either. You can easily be a non-vegan thats eats only ramen noodles and cheese pizza. Most articles about getting more protein arent targeted towards vegetarians.

If you've been in undereating and then eat something calorically and/or nutritionally dense, you'll definitely feel your brain "rebooting", I guarantee that. Stories like "one piece of fish cured me" make me laugh though. I was fully vegan for over 5 years, but then decided to introduce occasional animal products while in recovery from an eating disorder. Baked salmon was one of the meals I chose to eat. Was it tasty? Yes, but it did not magically cure me of every ill and I did not expect it to.
