You are all both right and wrong... the issue is eating fat and carbs in the same meal... the body will use the sugar from the carbs and stock up on the fat so basically either diet works on this aspect if you only take this into consideration.

I’ve been there. I was vegetarian since age 12. Then I went Vegan. My health plummeted. I had so many health problems I thought I was going to die. I went Vegan to help with some health issues. I’m 55. I started having muscle wasting. I did everything they told me to do. Finally they said I had to eat some meat. This is just how my body works. I wrote everything down. They said my diet was fine but my body just couldn’t absorb what I needed any more. I went back to a diet that my Grandmother fed me on her homestead. Lots of veggies, very small amounts of meat, low fat because I’ve be diabetic since age 12. I’m fine now. Docs are amazed. Genetically not all of us can be Vegan.

[@GreblosSuiram]

I used to believe plants were healthy and not only that - necessary for good health. After going colt turkey, cutting them out completely, major things have happened regard to my health. I wasn't a vegan before, but I did eat two pounds of vegetables every day. Hope it's okay for you that I share my experiences with you. The first thing that happened was that my leaky gut healed completely within two weeks, I've struggled with this since I was a young teenager. The second thing that got better was my "chronic" inflamed shoulder, I do feel it a tiny bit of something after a heavy chest and shoulder day at the gym, but earlier I could barely brush my teeth, so it's nothing like before. My grass and pollen allergies I've struggled with since I was a boy, is gone. In the spring my face got swollen, and I could barely breathe, even with meds. But this year I haven't used them. My energy is much better, it's very stable compared to before. The biggest improvement however, and the reason why I want to continue ditching plants is my mood. My depression and anxiety is gone. I used to be an excessive over thinker, worrying about everything, what other people though of me, how I looked, the future... Well, my depression is gone. I sometimes feel euphoric or I guess you could call it "high", crazy as it sounds. I find my self smiling walking down the streets, something I never did before. I feel more in touch with my true self, I have a very strong feeling that this is how I am supposed to be, and I am getting closer to my true potentional. We are not supposed to be sick and obese, or struggle with mental issues. The brain in mainly made of the omega 3 fatty acid DHA and cholesterol, which is only found in animal products. The strange thing is that even though I've always eaten meat, these issues didn't resolve before going strictly, only meat. So maybe the plants, at least for me, did more damage than good. Good luck towards a better health and a true and honest version of your self! We all deserve to reach our full potentional, physically and mentally.

[@MrsTabby1963]

Completely agree, Marius. The lifting depression in particular, was a revelation and unexpected. Plants are not really our friend I think. Animal protein and fat is essential to thrive.

For good or ill, its amazing how powerful diet can be.

Remember to eat organic chicken, grass fed meat, and wildcaught salmon and not the farm raised! There is a difference in nutrition and omega 6 and omega 3 ratios!

Are you danish or Swedish? I’m a ex vegan as well, but it made me sick which is why I went back to meat. Look up antinutrients in beans and grains, they are making us sick

[@pascalbruenner]

Antinutrients make us sick? Is that why some antinutrients have been proven to combat cancer?

Glycine and glutamine are good for my anxiety. Both are very low or low in vegan diet. Best source of glycine is gelatine /thick bone broth. For glutamine I found raw goats milk is good. Glutamine is in many foods, but goats milk had 2x as much glutamine per gram of protein as say, pork muscle meat or lentils. This is why it's important to eat a variety of proteins. Each part of the animal and plants have different amino acid ratio. So, if you eat only muscle meat, or only legumes, you'll probably wind up with too much of some amino acids and not enough of the rest. Vegans claim that your body can make other amino acids by conversion. But this takes good health, especially good gut health. Many people in the west today do not have this. Thus, amino acid supplements are now very popular. I've tried them but they smell and taste so chemical. Made in a lab. Very expensive and provide no calories or vits and minerals. Milk has them all 😎. I'm on raw goats milk. So expensive but it works and now I'm off my GABA and a whole handful of other supplements 😊

[@jasonturner6459]

Hans S Except the fact that it's not do easy to do because almost no multigenerational cultures have been vegan and many vegans end up with health issues. Maybe it can be done but it's not easy or natural

[@Art_Dilees]

+Hans S As a Dietitian with access to food tables and the reference literature for all/most sources of protein and significant clinical experience I can say that protein is an issue on a vegan diet. The body absorbs complete protein, so even if beans have a lot of protein, the body will only actually absorb very little "complete" protein and discard the rest. So a plateful of beans may only have 6g available protein. Average requirement for 60kg healthy man would be approx 64g protein. When he gets unwell this requirement gets significantly higher.

[@Art_Dilees]

@Hans S yeh u just have to look up UK food tables and countless studies its not hard. Its not old science. But of course if you know better :D which you obviously do......Yes u must combine foods. But typically these result in a very limited set. Eg. Rice and beans etc. Im not against veganism. However Ive seen too many malnourished vegans in hospital and its hard for them struggling along on v little nourishment losing weight, growing skeletal. You try your best but theres very little you can suggest. Because the requirement for nourishment during sickness is typically high. When u have ppl who are stuck in dogma they refuse even to help themselves -so family /friends/ loved ones have to witness them melting away.

[@Art_Dilees]

protein deficiency leads to many consequences. To name a few kwashiokor, stunting, Immune compromise; repeated infection, poor resistance to infection and opportunity for chronic disease GI tract dysfunction and poor epithelial integrity resulting in IgE allergy or food intolerance. Disturbances in the endocrine system. Poor sleep, neurological disturbance, poor protein causes wasting muscles (including heart muscle) hair skin nails cognitive dysfunction impaired wound healing wound breakdown and pressure sores (where the bone is visible) weakness in cough reflex which leads to inability to expectorate secretions in the lungs which ultimately (combined with a poor nutritional status) leads to pneumonias and death

Hey, I'd love to see an update! What's your diet nowadays? How do you feel?

[@earthangel2522]

Have you seen a chiropractic physician who does applied kinesiology (a technique which uses muscle testing to ask the body what it needs to strengthen the body). They usually work with nutritional supplementation. Because each human's health challenges are unique, applied kinesiology allows the practitioner to "ask" the individual's body what is specifically needed. A chiropractor looks for misalignment in the spine and. removes them by adjusting /the spine. This removes any interference to the proper functioning if the nervous system. There are also chiropractors trained in a technique called Contact Reflex Analysis ( CRA) which also uses muscle testing to find out what is going on with each organ in the body. They use nutritional supplementation to support the healing process. You referred to Norway several times. If you live in Norway, I don't know what the situation is there relative to chiropractors, but here in the states, many of them add nutritional supplementation to their practices. I have worked on by the two types of practitioners I mentioned above, and they helped bring me back from the brink of death when I had chronic fatigue syndrome. I had then a strict vegetarian for over 21 years. I got so weak I had to drop out of Redwood School. All I wanted to do was lie down on the floor in the hallways and I wouldn't have cared of people walked on me. That's how tired I was. I went first to a cra chiropractor for two years. Using nutritional supplementation and getting my spine adjusted on a regular basis to restore nerve health and functioning, I came back to a state of balance. But the most dramatic thing was reintroducing chicken and fish into my diet. When I dropped out of school, I got a job home nursing for an elderly bedridden woman. One day I boiled some chicken for her. When looking at the chicken broth in the pot, I it ooked like dirty dish water with Globs of fat floating on top. My response was "yuck.". It was a real turn-off . But I felt a strong inner voice prompting me to drink it. I really wrestling with the spirit on that one. For one thing, it really made me queasy to look at it. Secondly, my pride did not want me to give up my perfect 21-year record as a vegetarian finally, I overcame the resistance because I felt that it was Spirit speaking to me. So I drank it. Immediately my entire body vibrated with Newfound vigor. It was like every cell in my body said, "Thank you!!!!!" I felt immediately strengthened. That was a real eye-opener, because I realized that even with nutritional supplements there was still something in my actual food that I was consuming that was nutritionally deficient even though I had that epiphany, I was not able to go back to actually eating chicken or fish right away. Whenever I tried chewing on chicken flesh I had to spit it out, because it was so repugnant to me. I decided to give myself time to adjust to the thought of eating animal flesh again, so I experimented with simply adding organic chicken broth to my brown rice or made vegetable soups with chicken broth. That event was over 17 years ago. Once I got back to where I was strong enough I return to my studies ( It took me 18 months). I did so. I call myself FLEXITARIAN, but eat mainly vegetarian style. I get my protein from eggs, cheese, beans, hummus etc. I wouldn't dream of trying red meat ( gave up pork when I was twelve). I still do not purchase or cook chicken or fish, I will occasionally do tuna fish or chicken salad or I will eat the chicken if it's at a professional conference and that's all the Protein that's available to me. I think it is important to not e RIGID around concepts like "If you love nimals don't eat them" That statement isn't even true anyway. There are millions of people who eat animal flesh and toss a piece to their beloved dog who's sitting right beside them smacking its lips. BOTH animals are eating animal and BOTH can be healthy. Try drinking warm chicken broth with some parsley and see if it soothes and enliven you. The proverbial Jewish mothers who are often the butt of comedians' jokes for bringing a sick person chicken soup for EVERY ailment were -- I think-- on track. You sound as if you have a lot of issues. Under played by distress. I know how it feels to be weak and tired and confused about what to do when your health is lost but mental emotional states have a lot to do with health and healing perhaps even more so than just food. Get a copy of the book anatomy of an illness by Norman Cousins. he healed himself for a very painful connective tissue disease when the doctors have given up on him by following his inner guidance. he watch funny videos for many months and the illness which had him wracked with pain completely disappeared . It is said that laughter is the best medicine. there's plenty on KZbin to lift your spirits and take your mind off your troubles. there's a KZbin channel JUST FOR FUN. There are also funny animal videos that lift the spirits if you focus so much on naming diseases and fear of getting ill you actually create the very things you're afraid of because of your mental and emotional states. And PRAY FOR HELP ND NNER GUIDANCE. That was a strong component of my healing Journey. Also meditation helped because the healing process is facilitated when the body is in the state of relaxation. Let go and let God. here's a simple technique. Sit quietly somewhere put on soothing music if you choose, close your eyes. On the out breath simply say Let go. On the in breath mentally say, let God🙏. Good luck in your healing journey.

Good luck on the healing man, there is something in animal fats that helps us a lot

[@akasuzq1970]

The most important thing you can do for yourself right now is learn how to take the emotion out of what you are eating. No way of eating will work for you until you relax. Stress WILL upset your digestion system - from one end to the other. Without a healthy digestive system, you can't have a healthy immune system - and you will get the diseases you are afraid of. Please stop Google'ing. I know how seductive it is to have access to so much information at your fingertips. But there comes a point where you have to stop reading and just listen to what your body is telling you. I hope you get better.

[@bonnievandyke8301]

Your cobalamin/B12 needs to be MUCH higher. Some say between 500-1000...Japan I think. Mine was the same when I was vegan after a lot of vegetarianism. Nearly killed me. Please look after yourself - do no harm means eating for your health. Perhaps try bone broth. I too hated eggs and fish but my body needed them and now I love them. Interesting. How are you now?

[@penguin.tempur]

Balance is better, we need both in moderation.

[@thomasmorse6692]

It's easy to feel sorry for animals but right now you need to feel sorry for yourself and then get mad at all the crap that you have believed and the extremes you have gone too. Admit that there are things you are designed to eat and meat is top priority. It is psychological hurdle you must throw yourself over and become as passionate about it as you were veganism. It's for your health and your mental state of mind. Don't take no for an answer. Kick it's ass. You were wrong. You tried that with bad results so now you know. Welcome back to sanity.

[@katiesmith9634]

I hope you start listening to your own body and not vegan propaganda.

Check out vegetable police his ulcritive colitis hasn’t been bugging him since he changed to carnivore

[@plutoplatters]

I always wonder... why are people so "wacked out " about food ?

[@SFreedberg1]

I had same tingling on a vegan diet...supplemented with Soy Milk which was fortified with B-12 and the symptoms went away

[@mjolnir9855]

David Freed that's actually a good idea, however, he will eventually run inti the same problem again. The pepsin enzyme which strips b12 away from other proteins for assimilation is only available when you eat some meat. Otherwise, that stomach acid and pepsin enzyme goes down significantly over time...this is why most vegans will eventually need a B12 shot i stead, because at some point, even fortified foods won't help so much.

[@KARENboomboomROXX]

Vegans can become healthy, for maybe a few months if they cut out processed food... Because that's why, it's not because of the introduction of vegetables. In time however, they will deteriorate. Thank you, and good night...

I have to leave veganism because of salicilates intolerance. My nose had huge polyps and I had aggressive asthma all went away with low salicylate low carb diet (with no gluten, sugar or dairy).

[@myfragilelilac]

How long had you been vegan when you started to experience issues.

[@MsCellobass]

As of now I am just a tad confused with how are we supposed to eat because there are a lot of ‘antinutrients’ that disrupts certain biological needs or damages. Such as nightshades and lot of the nuts. I think we should eat in moderation certain things that are now proven to be inflammatory such as certain things in a salad.

[@matinr3528]

Hope you get your health back. I believe many of your problems that you are mentioning are due to your vitamin deficiency as well as anxiety. Sorry to hear that you cannot be vegan as you wish. Veganism doesn't work for everyone but at least you can help the cause by consuming less animal products

[@suziezurfreiheit6825]

Matin R I appreciate sane and encouraging comments like yours 👍

[@fishchicken4188]

Veganism is a good diet but should not be long term if you wish to get the benefits of such diet therefore it should be done but just take breaks in between.

Hope you are going to do an update soon as to how you are ...vegan diet for so many of us didn't turn out well so we really understand you.

[@donnanichols6938]

Today 1/16/19 I went to the store though i was weak an started a Keto diet. I did not want to leave my vegan diet because I have always loved salads at beans and vegetables. My health has forced me back. I was hospitalized in July with a hemoglobin of 7. They said it had nothing to do with being vegan which makes sense but then a year later I ended up with thyroid issues and you talking about depression and anxiety the week muscles in my legs.. I will just come back I'm finished my comment. I had a huge salad and I made some albacore tuna fish because I can't get too overwhelmed oh and I did have an avocado as well it was all delicious. It's going to be hard to cut the sugar, the carbs and the beans a lot of my fruits but my health is at stake. To you doing this video go ahead and start eating a balanced diet and I guarantee you your cut will get better you didn't get like this overnight and you won't heal overnight give it some time and quit worrying because that makes your anziety worse. I have always had panic attacks and I've been on medicine but at the end I was coming even on the medicine and that's never happened so I said it's time I give it my best shot. I know what you mean you feel betrayed but look just let all that go just focus on you and get better and then you deal with the rest later.. you take care of yourself and stay in the comments section so you can let people know how you're doing I'll make another video I'd love to hear.Oh Im doing Keto.My B-12 was fine.

[@materidouska286]

Welcome to the dark side :-) It is great you are learning, main stream recommendations are a bunch of crap. What they do is intentional demonization of fats, read meat, cholesterol etc. It depends on how much stored nutrients you managed to gather prior your veganism, some people get depleted and break after a year, some after 10 of veganism ... go figure. Mental health is at stake too, you need animal fats for your brain. It is angoing theme with e-vegans : mental issues, physical decline, stomach issues, some turned out diabetic too.

[@m.e.visser4976]

Hello darling , I was a vegetarian for a while and it didn’t agree with me. I started to get physical problems and had to start eating fish again and later on also meat. My body didn’t convert plant based nutrients in to nutrients my body could use. Omega 3 and B12 and others. Just as you, I was not pleased. Wanted to help the planet, my animal friends, etc.! My turnaround was the realisation while I was planting a eco garden, that even plant are not Vegan. They fead themselves with nutrients from dead animals. Bugs, and worms etc. The circle of life really. I’m still not a big meat eater. More eggs, some fish and yoghurt/skyr/quark. If, than I’ll make sure they had the best life. Make the best choice for yourself and do not care about others. Health is everything I found. Good luck and I hope you’ll get better soon.

Heal Your Gut Guy on KZbin. His advice has been amazing for my health after being vegan.

your a nice guy...sometimes i feel like shit too. but I'm telling you its the worm. i haven't gotten it out yet bc water fasting is too hard but its obvious that i have one you can hear it use its jet propulsion when you feel "hungry" bc its hungry.

[@Trisherboops]

GAPS diet is recommended in your case. Bone broth is very nourishing

[@kimandreasheroy]

I'm currently on an IBD-program that I got from Dr. Pamela Popper from the Wellness Forum. It's been going really well so far and it looks like I can keep on being vegan, but I will have to see how I feel about it once the program is over. I'll definitely make a video about my journey at some point ;)

[@hellojimmyjimmy]

All you have to do is chew your food till it’s liquid and all your problems will go away. And you can eat anything. Forget all these diets. You’ll eat tons less by just taking the time to chew food.

[@jessesnyder5426]

Please. No point to write preposterous stuff.

[@nicholasruff8354]

Did you get your blood tested for other vitamin deficiencies or just B12 and cholesterol? B12 is pretty easy to supplement if you're low and there's nothing inherent in animal products that your body can't get from plants. It's also a bit weird that your doctor recommended eggs specifically, which are high in saturated fat and cholesterol. My guess is that (a) You have some sort of disease unrelated to your diet or (b) your previous vegan diet wasn't nutritionally adequate. Either way, I hope you find out what's causing your health problems. It's pretty clear to me that you don't want to return to eating animal products if you don't have to so I wish you the best of luck.

[@kimandreasheroy]

They check for a lot of other things, not just B12 and cholesterol. I have been taking a B12 supplement for 3 years so it was weird that it was low. I have also been following the dietary recommendations from what my clinical nutritionist told me and also what the big health organizations in Norway (and global) recommend. My diet was adequate. Now that I have talked with Pamela Popper, the woman I mentioned in my video, I have got a new view on diet. The mainstream recommendations for a vegan diet are in her eyes not adequate. There should be no oil at all, and for people with IBD (like me), we should not be eating gluten or dairy. None of my specialists (colon expert, medical doctor, clinical nutritionist, etc) said anything about this. Already my pain is gone and it remains to be seen if any more good changes happen.

[@bonnievandyke8301]

Saturated fats and cholesterol are not unhealthy, they're the opposite.

[@christophernewby3296]

Man I feel really bad for this guy, I mean I get what he is saying, you can see the fear in his eyes. I want to see what people in the vegan community have to say about this video, because people will saying "Oh he was never a real vegan" and that is just messed up, because it only shows how veganism is all about identity politics and how it only causes a splintering in our society. I really hope this guy gets better and is not attacked by the vegan community because you wouldn't attack someone who is suffering or being so open and honest about their struggles so why would you attack someone solely because of what they eat. I would recommend this guy try dipping his toe into the pescitarian diet, and I say so because I have heard horror stories of vegans jumping back into animal products and suffering from nausea and vomiting. I really hope everything works out for the best and I am a meat eater and I am concerned for this guy, so let's drop the whole vegan, meat eater, murder, rapist etc... we are all humans, not animals so please, and i say this to vegans more so, let's not become soulless and hateful towards each other.

[@toavm]

Yes there're lot of vegans suffering health issues, you're not alone. Every day there's a new story. Most are feeling better eating animal foods, some have immediate release just by trying a carnivore diet for three months. Search for such testimonials. Low total cholesterol is dangerous to your health, you have to consume dietary cholesterol.

[@telepetenowheat5342]

Ulcerative colitis can only be CURED with diet. You pretty much have to do the opposite of what you have been doing. Learn about and implement a style of eating following the principals of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, the GAPS Diet, and an ancestral-paleo template. I wish you good luck.

Congratulations. Welcome back to sanity and health.

[@SM-jw7tm]

For the sake of you mental health and physical health begin eating meat (organic or 100% grass fed and preferably beef) and cut back on the plant based foods. 90% meat to 10% plant or close to it. The meat should be cooked medium rare so not to destroy it completely with over cooking. You will notice an improvement. Animal foods will calm you and restore your health. They will heal and reline your digestive system and allow better nerve function. Eat butter, dripping, tallow and if you do eat rice or cooked vegetables add these fats to it so you can better digest such plant foods. Guilt about eating animal foods has nothing to do with it, you are more important then veganism. You can be interested in animal welfare and support better animal management yet it should not be to the detriment of your health.

[@devrahul7435]

I am vegetarian since my birth, I am healthy but you are struggling with veganism, I am not understanding. I watched many videos and they described same as you said.
