Says even if you go 70% plant based will help when the food pyramid is mainly plant based and thats the problem,but demonise meat,when it's all the sugar and oils you combine your food.If you cut out sugar and oil and buy more grass fed meat and eggs,fermented milk and vegetables thats what will improve your gut,vitamin and nutrient absorption optimising your health without the need to be constantly making so many meals and popping pills/supplements to think you're getting healthy.Vegan diet is very anti nutrient,destroys your gut and gas indigestible fibre,you're not absorbing hardly anything even when volume of food is increased,the bioavailability of vitamin and nutrients is so low,all your doing when you're feeling good on vegan you're basically on a cleanse,running of your stores,glucose for energy from all them carbs,you start eating yourself why lose allot of weight initially then goes the muscle tissue and collagen if followed for years,aging and mental decline,stores run out you try start feeling the problems some more with metabolic syndrome where you lack so much muscle tissue you start storing to fat allot easier end up with a pot belly or looking like a tmnt like vegan gains.youre surviving not thriving

[@ukkiesc5087]

When I first started my plant based diet I went from 80 kilo's to 70 kilo's in 6 weeks, it scared the hell out of me because I didn't want to lose weight beyond that point. So when I heard I just had to eat more, I did just that, I pretty much doubled my breakfast and stuffed myself full every meal. I got horrible bloating from it and the increase of fibre I got also didnt make me feel very good. Eventually I found a balance where I didnt get bloated and even started gaining a small amount of weight again, but it really does make me understand that some people can get negative effects from going vegan/plant based. It just means your body didnt adapt yet, or that it is so different from what you used to do that you need to make some other changes. That does not change the science on the topic though, it is a far more healthy diet than a meat eating diet.

My experience eating plant based food is that you are more even in blood sugar over time. Eating nuts (as snack and complement during and between meals) and beans makes you last at high energy level all day. Being 45 years old (now 46) it feels like reversing ones age by eating plant based food since the change of food intake.

I went whole food plant based no sugar and oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flourless bread, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor.

For multiple decades, he has maintained a diet consisting overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) of plant based foods. He supplements his diet with occasional cheese, eggs, and modest servings of meat, within serving size recommendations (to which few Americans adhere) This diet has enabled him to retain a body fat composition and overall health profile that most 30 year old men would envy.

And I find that only through science, can you truly touch someone, bc everyone values knowledge, not everyone can be touched by the ethical aspects immediately, but science, that's the biggest advantage that you can have in an argument , cause it is so hard to disprove. Bc it is the closest thing to the truth we humans can reach.

I think this doctor is confusing plant-based with Veganism. Vegan is in regards to animal advocacy. I think this is becoming a misuse of the word. Veganism is not a diet. I think we really need to distinguish the two. It is beginning to really confuse people. Vegan food makes sense because it is food that vegans would eat but a vegan diet only makes sense in the context of the daily food vegans eat which abstains from the use of "All" animal products. You can't go 70 percent vegan. Even these KZbinrs and even Tim Schieff misuse the vegan term as a diet only. Good interview anyway, thanks for sharing.

I think the doctor knows the difference. Did he use the word "veganism"? People who don't consume animal products are following a vegan diet. Not sure why that's confusing.

[@julespaints]

marcus24000 it’s great that people reduce their meat and dairy intake. It’s a wonderful step forward, but let’s be clear on what veganism is, as defined? It’s not exploiting, or eating any animal, or it’s by products. So 70% not eating meat or dairy is great, but it isn’t vegan. Veganism is a purely ethical standpoint. It’s totally about the animals. What people get confused about, is a plant based diet, which vegans follow, but is not vegan in itself.

@@thickboy1737 you mean your diet failed? what was your calorie intake? what foods were you eating? did you have gut / bowel problems? the 2500 kcal guideline is based on self-reports and often people underreport their food intake. Data is more in line with men needing a minimum of 3,000 kcals. I find a lot of vegans eat less than that though because they want to stay skinny or whatever. It can be difficult to get all the nutrients without eating a lot.. but I really think calories are most important. I see too many people going on lower calorie intakes failing to thrive after a few years.

You see I was an uncontrollable diabetic. Maxed out on meds and still in the 400's daily but eating only fruits and greens I'd dropped my blood sugar over 200 points in one month with zero meds. That was only one of several improved labs. Long story short - that doctor, the one who spent 2 years talking me into eating meat after 10 years vegetarian (but that was devastating to my labs) - she now teaches a 12 week course on how to heal disease on a plant based diet. And she is thrilled when people load up on fruit. In our program, there are blood draws before,during and after the program. We don't "assume" anything about anything. We test test test... for each person! So, yeah, I'm a little biased.

The problem is not with meat per se, it's with sugar, refined carbs, bread, pasta, foods which drive up blood sugar. What is a plant-based diet? This term is bandied about yet no one ever defines it. I eat mostly vegetables but also fish and chicken. To me, this is a plant based diet and I think it is more healthy than a vegetarian or vegan diet. A typical dinner for me is steamed kale, collard greens, arugula, broccoli, red cabbage, broccoli sprouts, asparagus, mushrooms, tomato, red and orange peppers, often pumpkin, sometimes a little bit of purple sweet potato, with EVO or chick pea or black bean hummus, often some lentils. And some chicken or salmon.

If you're doing your best to cut animal products out of your life 100% of the time then you're vegan; however, if you're consuming animal products, whether it's 30% or just 5% of the time, and you CONSCIOUSLY know you're you're doing it even if there are other options, then you are not vegan. You cannot be 80% (etc.) vegan. It's like saying your jar is 80% sterile: it's not sterile.

"Just an anecdote." But what he fails to mention is there are THOUSANDS of anecdotes of vegans going back to meat. That is significant.

[@TheGentleCreeper1]

Banished From The Dwarf Planet Yeah there are many reasons for that though, social pressure, not wanting to be made fun of 24/7, not being an ethical vegan, and people who can’t be bothered to check labels and don’t want to “miss out”

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

LunarWolf>> All those things you mentioned may be factors, but you didn't mention the most common reason of all. Failing health on a vegan diet. You can find hundreds of such cases right here on KZbin, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. These vegans were eating a varied plant diet, were taking the proper supplements, didn't care what anyone thought about them eating a vegan diet, were ethical about animals, and yet STILL went back to eating animals foods. Their health failed. You can make all the excuses you want for them, but failing health is something that cannot be excused away.

[@fixxion77]

@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 there is a difference in "saying they ate a varied plant based diet and actually eat a plant based diet. I think many people underestimate the change you have to make in your diet and lifestyle to thrive on it.

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

G Robles-- What you are saying is that a vegan diet is extremely hard to follow and accept long-term for the average person. And that begs the question..."why is that?" The obvious answer is that it is not a natural human diet.

[@fixxion77]

@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 I disagree. It think it has more to do with the fact that we are accustomed to eating animal based food. I mean it's all around us and it's maid convenient for us. The more companies will pick up the plant based food group, the more convenient it will get. A simple matter of supply and demand.

There are both healthy and unhealthy plant and animal based foods. Being plant based does not automatically make it healthy nor dose the food being animal based automatically make it unhealthy. Tell me that liver or caviar is unhealthy, that is ridiculous.

[@funth0m]

IMPORTANT: Hey guys, I eat ~95% plant based but still I just cannot believe how single sided vegan propaganda videos like this one are. It sounds like there is no doubt on anything, everything 100% vegan is the best. No, it's not. That's simply not true. Longest living populations (blue zones) all around the world DO NOT EAT 100% vegan (which was even stated in this video) and that is very important distinction. My experience - after approx. 1 year on 100% whole foods plant based vegan diet (healthy diet - mostly home made food, all organic, lots of legumes, leafy greens, broccoli, beets, onion, garlic, mushrooms, spinach, kale, soy, potatoes, rice, quinoa, flex seed, chia, hemp seed and plenty of fruits, no oils....) I started to experience pretty serious brain fog, practically stopped muscle growth (even loss at some point) and bad mood. And of course bloated most of the time. I was eating enough calories, enough protein enough micro and macro nutrients and I even gained a bit of weight which was unfortunately mostly fat. I was also supplementing B12 and from time to time vitamin D3+K2, and from time to time Magnesium+Calcium+Zinc+B6. The brain fog was the biggest concern for me as I need my brain 100% to do my work so I started incorporating DHA&EPA supplements and a bit later FISH to my diet - Salmon, Mackerel and Sardines. I also started eating like 1-2 eggs once a week and very small amounts of butter. (No dairy other than the butter). After just a few weeks I feel great, mood improved, brain fog went away and I started gaining a bit more muscle, lost a bit of fat and have enough power for all my sport activities (running) and I am getting much stronger (weightlifting). I think Creatine in the fish also made the difference, not just omega3s DHA&EPA. TL;DR - this is what I believe is optimal diet for most of people: WFPB+Fish, maybe some egg and butter here and there. 100% WFPB vegan didn't work for me. The decline is very slow so most people don't notice it until it's too late. I am very busy person and I rarely comment on anything but I felt like this is very important message for everybody who is trying to follow 100% vegan diet. Take it as a warning and keep yourself healthy. And don't feel bad if you start eating some animal product here and there. If everybody on the planet was eating 95% WFPB vegan diet, world would be much better place:) Peace out, take care.

Tom, I had the exact same experience. One full year WFPB devotee. Slowly got weaker until 12/30 could barely get out the door to run. Added a tiny bit of eggs from local chickens and shrimp or salmon. Feel like a million bucks. Glad it’s not just me.

The funny thing about carnivore diets is that they are too high in protein to be ketogenic so their bodies are converting protein into glucose (same as in a cat). True ketogenic diets are super low protein by standard dietary standards. I guess the body really likes glucose and doesn't like ketosis

[@VivaLaMayo]

meals with fattier meat,too high protein would have go be more then a pound of your body weight which wouldn't happen on a keto diet,conversion of glucose is so small and lowered with fat do your homework sheep

[@vcsmart4683]

Finally, a sane video that Vegans need to pay extreme attention to, and stop being so judgmental towards those of us that tried being Vegan on a healthy diet and eventually did better on a diet with some more or less animal products added back in. Yes! That really does happen. It happened to me after being on a WF Vegan diet for 1-1/2 years, but I stopped doing it for very real health concerns and problems. I call Bull Shit on anyone that's going to say I didn't do it right. I don't have cravings to eat any animal foods, but I found I thrive and feel much better adding some of these foods back into my diet. Also, for all the animal rights Vegans, I think you just need to focus on ending industrial scale production of animals in confined settings or over harvesting and depletion of fisheries. Vegans will NEVER convert most people to stop eating animal products, and Vegans need to realize there is a very high dropout rate of people remaining on a Vegan diet beyond a few years. Please repeat that last sentence before this one as is necessary to understand WHY being Vegan will NEVER work for most people.

What are you getting from eating meat that you couldnt get from plants other than B12 ? Just asking.

No. Stop making excuses. You would do better on an animal free diet.

[@vcsmart4683]

@@Vscustomprinting Since you follow VG, I can't take you seriously considering what VG is all about. Humans do NOT, in general, do better on a Vegan diet long term. IF Humans did better, then there would not be such a high dropout rate of long-term Vegans. Plenty of people wanting long-term optimal health STOP being Vegan. I wonder why? Veganism is extremism that has many similarities to cults and religions for those Vegans that condemn us for not continuing to be Vegan after trying the diet in a healthy way. Being Vegan can no doubt work for a small percentage of people long-term and provide these people with optimal health and thrive being Vegan too, but there is a very high dropout rate for being Vegan long-term. Imagine the future backlash some Vegans are creating, like VG, that attack past Vegans for being fake or doing the Vegan diet wrong. People like VG are not helping the long-term image of Vegans. There will be a strong backlash and blow-back from X-Vegans towards Vegans like VG. That is a loser strategy for promoting and getting more people trying the Vegan diet, and Vegans need to accept being Vegan is NOT the optimal diet for most people long-term. Vegans need to come to terms with the high dropout rate of being Vegan long-term and use strategies that reach-out to these X-Vegans in a positive way. Vegans are not going to convert a high percentage of people to being Vegan until more Vegans will remain being Vegan long-term.
