Protein originates from plants! Shock horror. Meat (murdered rotting flesh) dairy eggs chicken fish are all less healthy ‘second hand’ protein sources. Live and learn, then sensibly re-subscribe for the actual truth about health:-)..You know the old saying ‘Strong as an Ox’, did you ever see an Ox eating meat? Or an Elephant or Gorilla etc.. Human Great Apes, yes we are Great Apes, are longest Evolved to process plant based foods, our non Human ancestors were 99% plant based, our recent Homo ancestors were migrants to the north & necessity forced them to kill animals for the sole purpose of survival & passing Genes on, not so much long healthy living. It’s complex, but if you really want to learn what animal you are, (no God required) & what is the best diet in alignment with our longest Evolution, go to the Natural history museum for science accuracy NOT Mc Donald’s:-).

PS I wouldn’t unsubscribe from someone who changed their diet, in truth it would probably mean you had a lot more to lose from them than they ever had to lose from you.

I enjoy this channel and find it highly informative. I have been 100% vegan-based diet for over 35 years (I’m 61 years old now) and still undertake significant daily exercise e.g 10k jogs, 40k gravel cycle rides, swimming etc. I wouldn’t change my diet, but I think it is much harder to get the right vegan nutrition compared to my carnivorous friends. It’s tough to get fitter and stronger at 61 under any circumstances. Whilst I totally recommend the vegan diet, IMHO you have to plan your meals and time your recovery more carefully.

I’m 3 years plant-based and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done... start with Why? My rationale in order of importance: 1. Ethical 2. Environmental 3. Health I’m healthier and happier and have a lot more energy and focus - but, like any lifestyle change, you have to change, adapt and learn along the way... it doesn’t happen overnight. Even if you don’t go plant-based, do yourself a favour and just cut out all forms of dairy - the physiological effects (and follow on mental benefits) are enormous. And consuming dairy is just bloody weird. In my humble opinion. 🙏

Over the last several years I’ve watched all the diet documentaries, KZread videos and read all the books, from Fruitarian to Carnivore and everything in between.

The ground beef I purchase (grass-fed etc) is about $8/lb. The milk I purchase (grass-fed etc) is nearly $12/gallon.....compare that to the milk from horrifically fed abused cows, which costs about $3/gallon and tastes appalling. We don't eat a ton of meat and dairy, but because I'm careful what I buy it's the most expensive part of our diet. It makes so much sense that cutting it out would significantly reduce the food bill.

Who knows.. never did a before and after..in terms of data. Don’t listen to the nobheads.. keep doing you. P.s. I agree about dairy, it’s weird to think drinking another mammals breast/baby milk is normal.. 😷🤢 Plus oat milk tastes better.. but don’t tell people that. 🤫😬

I almost took the plunge too and the same exact thing happened to me... game changers. By the time I decided to try i realised I had no idea what I was doing to create complete proteins. Seemed like too much work just to try something and see if it works better. (That was my motivation)

While obviously you can get enough protein nowadays on any diet thanks to supplements I will point out that "protein" is a bit misleading: e.g. wheat has a decent amount of protein, only 20% is usable by humans though, and one protein is quite different from another, it's the amino acids that make up proteins that matter, and meat has the perfect balance while with plants it is important balance different sources to get everything. So just a heads up that while you can get all you need from plants, meat is easier (it's basically a "whole food" by itself, as in you don't really need to consume anything else, except some salt and water).

I guess Jen is all over it already, but for tons of quick, easy and delicious recipes grab the Bosh boys cookbooks. Couple of British lads, 100% vegan and some awesome stuff in them.

Lifting weights builds muscle aswell as eating protein. If you're vegan and want muscle you're gonna have to lift regularly. The shear amount of grains, nuts and seeds you have to eat as a vegan ensures you have enough protein. DON'T go vegan just to lose weight, yes most people lose weight going vegan after years of a shit diet, but a lot of it will be muscle aswell as fat so be smart, don't cut calories and lift heavy frequently.

Do not skip breakfast. Your missing the first window of protein synthesis and you'll be better for eating breakfast regardless of activity. If your cutting a meal to cut calories, cut dinner. Also, you'd be better with meat. You started out saying your protein comes from a powder. Protein is protein but fibrous protein like that of meats, will be utilized by your body much mote effectively for protein synthesis. If you want to see where powders and supplements gets you.

the biggest problem is vegan/vegetarians thinking all protein is equal. It all comes down to the amino acids it breaks down into. Check a nutrition calculator and enter vegan protein vs animal based.

Pretty easy to get all essential amino acids needed. I do fine. Just requires a bit more thought.

To answer the question in the title, ALL protein comes from plants. Animals are plants to get protein, people eat the animals to get that protein. If vegetarians/vegans eat the right balance of foods, they will get the protein needed. Eating whole food plant based is the best way to go. Processed foods are not healthy.

Protein isn't the problem, but you will need to supplement for missing amino acids, vitamins and minerals. And you are bonkers if you think a vegan diet will improve your health. If you are vegan for ethical reasons, I salute you.
