The importance of understanding how what goes into your body effects you cannot be understated. Me and my family went vegan when I was 15 and I had only a vague idea that not eating animal products was better than my new diet, even though that was pretty much the only change. We still kept eating processed foods with lots of saturated fats and sweets. And I was gaining weight every year. It wasn't until I decided to look into nutrition by myself that I realised the importance of unprocessed foods as well as regular exercise. My family still thinks that I'm under-eating and starving myself by eating "plain" low-fat foods, despite me having a stable and normal weight for 3 years since the initial weight loss.

Humans and their ancestors have been getting around 50+% of their calories from meat for over 1 million years. That only changed about 10,000 years ago when we started doing agriculture. Natural diet does not imply longer life expectancy though the same way medicine can make you live longer even though its "unnatural". Chicken and Fish are associated with lower mortality rate when adjusted for macros, exercise etc etc.

[@D19DMO128D]

@@drunkvegangal8089 I sent a mix of recent and some older studies since there weren't any recent studies refuting them. All the following studies show that from Homo erectus to Paleolithic humans, to modern hunter gatherers and even Neanderthals as an extra, all of them had meat heavy diets. Keep in mind that in recent years hunter gatherers started eating domesticated plants due to influence from neighboring farmers and hunting has become harder due to obvious reasons so dont think that the ones who eat corn are relevant. Imagine you were relying on a diet before agriculture. What are you going to rely on? Obviously meat, 50-60% of your calories from meat and the rest from wild fruit, honey etc. Study title:: The paradoxical nature of hunter-gatherer diets: meat-based, yet non-atherogenic "In this review we have analyzed the 13 known quantitative dietary studies of HG and demonstrate that animal food actually provided the dominant (65%) energy source, while gathered plant foods comprised the remainder (35%)." Study title: Associations of Processed Meat, Unprocessed Red Meat, Poultry, or Fish Intake With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality "Each additional 2 servings of poultry consumed per week was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.97-1.02]; 30-year ARD, −0.28% [95% CI, −1.00% to 0.44%]). Each additional 2 servings of fish consumed per week was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.97-1.01]; 30-year ARD, −0.34% [95% CI, −0.88% to 0.20%])." Study title: Exploring late Paleolithic and Mesolithic diet in the Eastern Alpine region of Italy through multiple proxies: The study is on 3 individuals in Italy from 18,000 years ago Conclusion: Isotopic results indicate that all individuals likely relied on both terrestrial and freshwater animal proteins. According to this comparative information, the macrowear patterns of the two Italian Upper Paleolithic and one Late Mesolithic individuals suggest a diet mainly based on meat with only a moderate intake of plant foods. Study title: A Neandertal dietary conundrum: Insights provided by tooth enamel Zn isotopes from Gabasa, Spain: Concluding Remarks: Neandertal isotope values represent an extreme in carnivore trophic levels, and Iberian Neandertals appear to be no exception. Meat consumption is supported by both the zooarcheological data at Gabasa and δ66Znenamel analysis. Study title: Evolutionary basis for the human diet: consequences for human health Homo erectus had increased body size, greater hunting skills, a diet rich in meat, control of fire and understanding about cooking food, and moved from woodland to savannah. Their diet shifted towards grain-based foods about 100 kyr ago, and settled agriculture developed about 10 kyr ago. This pattern remains for many populations to this day and provides important insights into current burden of lifestyle diseases.

Hi there, I do recommend being a sceptic and look up things for yourself, and you will find out that the diet i will share with you is actually for your own good e.g processed meats are classified as carcinogenic to humans in Group 1, which is as bad as it can get, where as plant foods are classified as anti-cancer foods. I do encourage to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it). Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death. Best wishes 💙💙💙

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

That depends. Not everyone can tolerate large amounts of fiber, in fact because its indigestable for humans, and most people are sensitive to the antinutrients such as lectins, and the high amounts of oxcelates in most vegetables. Not saying we shouldn't eat vegetables but they have their place in moderation just like meat. Vegetables, canola oil, soybean oils ect, all nuts and grains, are high in polyunsaturated fats which are not that good for us since they oxidize verry easily and have a higher omega6 to omega3 ratio.. omega 6s which are said to be pro inflammatory... unlike fish which is caught fresh and naturally higher in omega 3s.. I know many people who are vegan but not doing so well, and others that went vegetarian instead. Food choice is as much about what is available to be eaten as it is about what a species evolved to eat. And just as fruits ripen, leaves flush and flowers bloom predictably at different times of the year, foods available to our ancestors varied over deep time as the world changed around them from warm and wet to cool and dry and back again. Those changes are what drove our evolution, meat was largely included

Restrictive is not the right word.

At present, most of us now live the last decade or two of our lives in declining health. Start a med, more meds, more surgeries, more doctor visits, more hospital visits, eventually being homebound or in a nursing home.

[@lauralang3089]

Most vegans I know are not whole foods, plant based. They tend to eat a high fat, some processed foods diet--and look like it. If you are to keep yourself chronic disease free, you need to get your fat calories under 15% of total calories, 8-10% is optimum for those who are not highly active. You cannot get down to 8-10% calories from fat if you eat processed foods. One thing that was incorrect in this video is about HDL. HDL is the clean-up cholesterol. The lower your cholesterol, the less you need HDL. If your total cholesterol is under 130 (it should always be under 150), your HDL is going to drop as well. You don't need as much HDL. No such thing as 'healthy fats' either. Even if all your fats are plant-based, if you are eating more than 15% of your calories as fat calories, you are going to develop chronic disease at some point--maybe later than SAD eaters, but you won't be nearly as healthy as those who stick to under 15% fat calories. For those with heart disease, the only way to reverse it is to stick to 8-10% fat calories, and no animal foods whatsoever. Studies have shown that if you continue to eat some animal foods, or even just a little animal foods, or higher fat (over 15% calories from fat) your heart disease will stay the same or get worse every single year. Only when you remove all animal foods and get your fat calories down to 8-10% of total calories will you reverse your heart disease. And yes, we see it constantly. Those who have blockages don't have them a year or two later. It is not a 'miracle', it is the norm when you eat right. Our body wants to be healthy!

I think that combined with innovative technologies, such as lab grown meats, we can and will transition in the near future (50-100 years).

I've been vegan for 7 years. That feeling of thinking about what you need to eat constantly, goes away after you are comfortable doing it and know your favs, then it becomes routine. For me it was around the second and third year where I didnt think about it at all anymore. That's also where I noticed some major healing as well. Patience is key 👌 Consistency, a sense of adventure, and patience make it a good time 🌱

xangelrox I mean usually there is a vegan option at most restaurants:) you don’t have to drop people for a choice you’ve taken upon yourself. Most of my friends/partner do a few places where they wanna eat and some where I can eat. As long as they’re not super negative about vegan diet you should be fine :)

[@LinaMelchior]

@@cookiebabe41111 Normally in most restaurants there are a few vegan options or vegetarians options that can be transformed to vegan, have a look at the menu before going and look for sides/startes or mains that are vegetarian where the only non vegan thing is cheese and ask for them to serve it without the cheese

[@lillmango]

I’m only part-time vegan as full veganism didn’t work for me but I’ve loved how being vegan has made me more mindful about food. I’m more mindful about the kinds of foods, it’s quality, it’s source and nutritional value.

[@valyshknee4203]

Yeah sure, wanna know why a small procentage of the world population commits to your cult? Its because it's hard to do and doing one thing wrong can cause your death over a prolonged period, it's unhealthy as fuck, and it makes it very unattractive to ordinary people which is why you vegans are a small procentage of the population, it's why vegetarianism is a way bigger procentage of the population because those people decide themselves on what to eat and what not to eat, basically limiting themselves on certain things such as eating the fish but not eating the steak, and trying to stick to vegan foods as much as possible but still always sliding that fish or steak down their mouths every once in a while. This is way more healthy than true vegan.

I feel like people always make fun of vegans and assume the worst, but it's honestly such an incredible change for your body. I've been vegan for less than one year, but vegetarian for 11 and cutting our dairy really made a huge impact. Even if you eat a few meatless and dairy-less meals a week, that's a start!

[@jjackson2400]

This might be a silly question, but what are some standard meals you eat while vegan? What are your go tos that you must have in the fridge. Im having trouble transitioning because all I can think of are steam veggies and rice

[@leavesofchange]

I would say with the benefit of hindsight, don’t go vegetarian as a transition, go dairy-free as a transition. Dairy has no benefits, but meat does. Biggest mistake ever is to eat less meat and more dairy to compensate.

[@JonasKvideo]

@@jjackson2400 keep a protein sources available. That is beans, lentils, peanuts, tofu and other nuts and seeds. Smoked tofu is awesome, that give a nice flavor. Also have some replacement meats, they are not the healthiest but the right ones taste great and change up your meal plan. In my opinion a well balanced vegan diet can include some of these processed foods. It will still be healthier than 80% of other people's diet.

I often wonder wether going purely plant based is so good to a big extend because refined sugars and processed foods are being left out. I personally feel best with mostly raw animal products and lots of greens. I guess as long as what we eat is dence in nutrients, organic and mostly raw, we’re good.

[@rebeccacollins2041]

AWESOME MATT! I tried veganism but I felt worse because I couldn't have some key things (soy, nutritional yeast, fresh garlic, fresh onion, some beans,...) even though overall there were substitutes. I was always hungry and what I ate didn't seem to satisfy long. I ate fruit, veggies, whole-grain bread, pasta, potatoes, hemp hearts, chia, raw cacao, lentils, chickpeas, PB, etc. Some processed stuff (vegan sausage, vegan cheese) but tried not to eat too much of that. In the end, I didn't have money for experts, and I sometimes struggled to put together meals even with online resources because I would get bored easily. I would love to be successful at veganism, plus local raw honey as I think its nutrients are invaluable, but at least for now I eat a mix, and anything animal I buy typically has to be local/pasture-raised, but it also depends on monetary resources.

[@LookUpwards]

Hi there, Being hungry frequently can be cause be caused by drinking fluids together with meals. It is better to drink around meals freely (e.g my aim is 1 hour around the meals); avoid snacking in-between the main meals and aim to eat at the same times each day. The body gets programmed. I do encourage being a sceptic and look up things for yourself, and you will find out that the diet i will share with you is actually for your own good e.g processed meats are classified as carcinogenic to humans in Group 1, which is as bad as it can get, where as plant foods are classified as anti-cancer foods. I do recommend to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it). Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death.
