@Kath Beck Some are very misleading, but any Vegan worth their salt would say it won't cure everything. There are other causes for some of the problems we face, but diet contributes to most of the big ones, and is reversible if you fix your diet. Everything is always percentages and probability. You might as well complain veganism won't stop you from dying in a car crash. I will say, regarding cooking. It ISN'T hard, once you know what you're doing. But I spent a ton of time learning how to cook in a healthy way. I used to just buy chicken, mashed potatoes, and something green and call it a meal. Now I take make a lot of extra effort to flavor things without fats/oils/sugar, and create unique combinations. It's becoming second nature to me, But I've had free time to really dive in. And I also have a little bit of history of trying to cook healthy when I was on Keto before, which made this a little easier. I know it would probably we wasted on kids, but cooking is a vital skill that should be taught in schools. Especially since capitalism keeps inventing cheaper, more unhealthy, more preservative filled junk and manipulating our demand for it with marketing. The only way to in most places to have a chance at being healthy is to cook for yourself.

Vegan for 7 years... My advice: to feel more satiated and getting in healthy fats & minerals is not being afraid of healthy unprocessed FAT. As in: avocados, nuts, seeds, nut butters (almond, cashew, hazelnut, pecan, peanut, coconut etc.), seed butters ( sunflower, sesame aka Tahini (amazing for dressings without any oil!!!)). Make sure you get in your omega 3's in by freshly grinding flax seeds/ chia seeds and putting them in smoothies, on porridge... eating nuts like walnuts, macadamias, pecans. Or eat a bit of cold pressed flax/ chia/ walnut oil by putting it into your salad dressings. We hardly saw any of his meals, but I suggest including lots of healthy whole grains: oats, quinoa, rice, millet, buckwheat etc. Also very important: beans & lentils. And supplementing every now and then with Vitamin B12 (methycobalamin) by using drops/ sprays/ sublingual tablets. It sounds like a lot, but it's super easy and fun, and can also be cheaper than a "normal" diet if you don't buy the overpriced junky vegan fast food items too often.

kmanick I love how you are saying that like it’s a good thing, like it’s an achievement. Cholesterol is integral to every single cell in the human body, literally every one. It’s also vital for hormone production which affects everything from mood to various metabolic processes. Cholesterol is one of the most important things our body needs. Vegans often, more often than not suffer from mental health issues (although they pretend everything is great), and when they get injured healing is a lot slower because guess what cholesterol is a healing substance, the body deploys more cholesterol to repair damage. Cholesterol has been demonised by bad science, think of cholesterol as a fireman, when ever there is a major fire you will find firemen present, by today’s logic we would blame the fireman for starting the fire, when in reality the fireman was a response to tackle the fire. Likewise cholesterol is deployed by the body when the body is damaged and needs repairs, so it’s detected in people who have health problems, but it doesn’t cause them. Statins are very profitable drugs so pharma companies pay researchers to prove cholesterol is bad and needs to be reduced. Statins are bullshit and so is the research that supports their use. This will probably sound crazy to you, but I’ve tested this shit from personal experience. I used to believe the lies about fat and cholesterol, I ate low fat, little meat and plenty of “healthy” fruits and vegetables. I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, told I had too high cholesterol and to cut down on the high cholesterol foods that I wasn’t even eating. I switched to a high fat, largely meat based diet, for the past two years I’ve had blood tests every single month without fail (because of the treatment I had for the ms). Despite eating tons of eggs, the fattest streaky bacons, fatty ribeye steaks and often chunks of pure fat, not once has any of my blood tests shown high cholesterol or any other blood issues. I’m not deficient in any nutrients, I’m losing weight at a healthy rate (slow and steady), and have no further ms attacks. Look around KZread for ex-vegan videos, there are tons of them, they all say the same basic things, at first they thought it was great, but eventually all of their health started to fall apart.

VINICORN VIDEOS oh can they? Then why do vegans frequently suffer depression, anger and other mental issues along with poor injury recovery? How many sporting stars go vegan then shortly after get injured and quit their sport? Between 20-25% of your cholesterol comes from diet, meaning vegans are missing that entirely. Now you will probably say but the body can still make what it needs, a 25% deficiency is still a deficiency. Maybe vegans can cope when healthy, but the moment they get injured the requirement for cholesterol spikes and taxes an already deficient nutrient. A healthy person with a healthy diet can probably produce cholesterol quite well, because they have all the building blocks of cholesterol, the precursors etc. Vegans on the other hand don’t eat cholesterol and don’t eat the optimal building blocks to produce their own cholesterol, on top of which vegans eat tons of fibre and anti-nutrients that cause what little nutrients they do eat to be excreted and not absorbed properly. Plant oils are terrible when compared with real animal fats that are already in the most bio-available forms our bodies need. Our metabolisms are much closer to animals than plants, so animal nutrients need less processing in our bodies to be usable, for instance animal foods have real Vitamin A, plants don’t, they contain carotenoids which the human body needs to convert (at biological expense), into the real human form of vitamin A we need to live. Animal food Vitamin A is the real thing (retinol), that is instantly and easily available and usable to our physiology. By the way the conversion of carotenoids to retinol is not perfect and some people just can’t even do it. You can have too little cholesterol, but not too much, if you consume more than required it is simply excreted, I’ve been eating a high cholesterol diet for well over 2 years and with a blood test every single month, not once have I had “high blood” cholesterol levels, in fact my nurse and doctor says my blood is perfect. Vegans are dropping like flies, youtube vegans whose income is entirely dependant on the vegan lifestyle are having to quit for health reasons and are all saying they feel so much better after quitting. They all report an increase in mood/mental health, an increase in libido, recovery from long term injuries, removal of “vegan brain fog” (I’ve literally watched vegan videos hat have jump cuts every few seconds because they can string a coherent sentence together, then when they quit veganism they can make long videos without any jump cuts and rambling). All these things can directly be related to cholesterol, and hormonal imbalances that result in a deficiency of one of the most important molecules in the human body. Vegans need to supplement cholesterol as well as B12, trouble is there is no plant form of cholesterol in plants, so by definition they can’t supplement the one thing they really need to. Vegans can eat B12 sources (dirt and algae) but they cannot eat cholesterol.

Veganism contributes to all the same problems animal agriculture does. Does that book have an answer to what scale those issues would be reduced to if we ate crops directly and skipped the energy conversion from plants to animal? Surely some issues would expand but animal agriculture is inherently inefficient for most of the planet. Also you're the one talking about reading comprehension, but I didnt say anything about health benefits of veganism? I meant simply existing causes harm to those you share the earth with. Veganism is about reducing harm. There are a million things you can do to be more ethical, being vegan is one of the easiest. I look forward to a more pleasant response...

I went vegan and felt like garbage the first month. But then I stopped following the diets of KZread vegans who are all on these super high-carb, low-fat diets. And I went back to my usual, higher-fat/low-moderate carb diet -- but veganized it. Problem solved. Energy returned, and I never had another issue...I highly encourage people to track their current macros while they are non-vegan. Then find vegan foods (and possibly supplements) which will hit those macros.

In 2017, someone challenged me to go Vegan for a month. The first two weeks were rough but early into the third week, I felt lighter, happier, and generally like I'd been walking around with a 70-lb hockey bag strapped to my shoulders for my entire life and now it was lifted off. After I finished my month though, I kept the plant-based diet but switched to vegetarianism which allows daily dairy as well as fish, and meat once a month so my diet is still 93% plant based with a wee bit of dairy and some curried goat. I've gotta say, 6 years on, and I feel great.

I was vegetarian for 7 years, always trying to be fully vegan all this time. I finally made it December 2019, never felt better. I must eat about that, 50 to 80g of fiber a day, no digestive problems. I would try natural prebiotics and probiotics if you're struggling with digestion on a vegan diet. Also drink lots of water! Some people don't drink water but I was always a water drinker.

Well I went vegan for a month (I'm usually Vegetarian) and it was okay. I'm an aspiring cook so I don't really want to limit myself further. But it really wasn't that bad, I'm just kinda not convinced of the motivation and I get annoyed by people who treat it like the bible. I decided to switch to Almond Milk instead of Milk and similar things for the future but I will still be using cheese and eggs tbh. Couldn't find a satisfying solution for those and I despise the idea of going radical with everything especially with food. I have always been looking out to get good quality ingredients so I don't feel bad for using eggs for example. I think there needs to be some kind of balance. Also I'm 18 and from Germany btw

So many people that try this don’t do it justice and are poorly educated about it and spread bad information. Glad you did this so well! Thanks!

Culture does not mean its moral. What about Yulin Dog festival? thats a culture, doesn't mean it is morally the right thing to do. Culture does not dictate morality.

I was laughing out loud at this. I wanna watch the other videos just because you’re so funny haha Nice work! I’ve been vegan for 3 years and never going back. My 4-year old has also been vegan for the same time (plant-based healthy diet) and is doing great. He’s not gone weird or stopped growing haha 😂 wonderful happy & healthy. I’ve read tons of books and if you make sure it’s a balanced diet it’s awesome. And is better for the planet too. Win-win. I read loads of research on the detox thing, and I think that’s around the pesticide/contaminants issue (surrounding all food)... a lot of it is bioaccumulative and takes years to get rid of so yeah - another reason to run a mile from pesticide & chemical/additive filled non-organic and processed foods (and cosmetics, and the rest of it)!!

im 4 years vegan now. struggled with suicidal thoughts all my life due to the extreme pain of my rheumatoid arthritis and within a short 3 months after quitting animal products my auto immune disorder literally vanished

spider guard Meat gives you Cancer though. And kills an animal. And wastes huge amounts of food and water and releases high emissions when the animal is being farmed. Just avoid meat and you’ll feel better in no time. Plant protein is the original source of protein.

From a vegan, thank you for making such an unbiased video! If you ever want more motivation to stay vegan from an animal agriculture/cruelty perspective, I highly recommend watching the free online documentary DOMINION. Watching dominion is what pushed me to go 100% vegan and it was the best decision I ever made! Also, awesome editing in this video, I love your style and will be subscribing.

yup! i had tried to go vegan for a while and i WAS successful but frustrated that everytime i saw meat or dairy based foods i was craving it. So i watched cowspiracy, what the health, (both netflix) and animal slaughterhouse youtube videos and it totally helped kill those cravings and finally let me see what was on the plate not as "meat" or "pork" or "beef" but as cows and chickens and pigs who wanted to live and had that taken away from them or who had babies they wanted to love and nurture but were separated from at their birth.

@@lovelypacific Right? I've never focused on the "it's healthier" aspect. Nobody disagrees with the idea that more kindness is a good thing for one's self, for one's family, for one's community, etc. I've found that the "a-mazing" feeling comes from knowing I'm not at least partially responsible for causing the fear of death in another being. The dietician said something that really caught my ear. At 22:05 she says, "You can do anything. Your body, your choice." Somehow, "You CAN'T do anything. Your body MY choice" just doesn't sit well. The desire to control others (to death) stems from the lack of an ability to control one's self. "Oh, what I want to know is...ARE YOU KIND?" Garcia/Hunter

I was vegan for 20+years .. I never ate enough. Everything is too filling and I am thin enough. (5’4”-109 lbs) I just started adding in other options and feel better. I don’t eat any added sugar or processed foods ever. This is a big help for your liver and insulin and overall health. Gotta watch what your food ate! A factory raised cow eats a diet of grain when they are meant to eat grasses etc. therefore they are metabolically ill and fart more and need antibiotics . Same for chicken and fish. You are what you eat! Only eat organic whenever possible. Pesticides have rendered our soil to dirt and no nutrients. Watch Dr Robert Lustig on KZread on sugar. Life altering. Hooray for whatever you choose.

Only just started watching you. I’ve been vegan/plant based for 18 months. First 6 months hair snapped, nails were brittle BUT after that things got better BUT I miss lamb 😢

I went vegan overnight and experienced no issues at all. It's been 1.5 years now since I've consumed animal products.

Kent Hanna I’m really not trying to be a dick but you should look into vegan farmers, they have to kill a lot of animals to protect the crops. You may not be eating animals but they definitely died to protect the vegan food that’s grown. Pretty much the only way to be a true vegan is to grow your own food

@@JT-wc3hr I think you kind of misunderstand the number one tenet of veganism: Removing the exploitation of animals from your lifestyle as far as is humanly practical. Emphasis on as far as humanly practical. Complete one hundred percent veganism by your definition is a pipe dream for probably 99.9% of the world's population. The fact is though, modern society gives us (by us I mean the western world) an abundance of options when it comes to what we eat and what we wear. It is very practical, and not even terribly inconvenient (once you've built up the proper habits, of course, which is true for any lifestyle change) to remove animal products from your diet, and not wear leather or wool. It is not practical for most people to grow an entire crop that will sustain a family 52 weeks a year, nor is it practical to police farmers and their crops. At the end of the day, you have to put the goalposts somewhere and trying to discredit veganism because it doesn't completely eliminate all animal suffering ever is like trying to discredit modern medicine because it can't cure every single disease.

Ryan maybe I did misunderstand the concept and I wasn’t trying to discredit veganism. I wasn’t even ware of the farmers killing animals aspect until just recently and It makes sense but I was kinda shocked by it because I had never thought of it before. What you said about cutting it out as much as humanly possible makes a lot more sense than cutting it out completely.

@@JT-wc3hr vegans know that animals die in food production. Farms should try and reduce the impact to wild animals on their farms but there is a difference between slicing the throat of an an animal so we can feast on its flesh and having some mice die as crops are harvested. It isn't even as much as humanly possible it's "as far as possible and practical". For some it's easier than others depending on your circumstances in life.

This editing is everything! hahhahahaha Anyway, thanks for keeping an open mind throughout the whole process. I really enjoyed watching this, it really shows in details all the, so to say, issues with going vegan, we all can relate with this, but what I appreciate the most is the fact that you approached this topic in a very objective manner. I've watched tons of other similar videos and it usually comes down to people whining about Veganism being too hard and stuff like that. You were being honest about it and that what I liked the most. I know it can get hard at times, especially around family and friends, so kudos to you for holding your ground. Hope you'll consider it again at some point in the future, but this time take it easy on viber! hahah Best of luck to you and your family! :)
