You can also soak your rice and legumes (beans, lentils, etc.) in water overnight and rinse a couple times before cooking to reduce the gas causing effect. :)
I went cold turkey, and I am glad I had privacy at home... lol. It passed and IBS is a thing of the past. To all of you starting now... keep going, the foods on this plate will love you back.
been vegan for 24 years, I didnt lose weight when I became vegan,I was vegetarian.. been meatless for 44 years..on and off with veganism in that time.. the main thing I noticed was I needed less sleep and my mind is clearer.. previous to giving up my addiction to dairy, my mind was foggy.. now am much clearer..
I’m a type 2 diabetic and I went in a plant based diet! YES YES IT DOES LOWER YOUR SUGARS and it’s good although just last night I awakened at 10 pm and was at 68 do I ate some yogurt and at 3 am had got up to only 86! That’s still low for me ( doc want me at 120) but I’m good with the results overall. Very soon I’m be diabetic free!
Lorraine Shobajo I wouldn't listen to a doctor who tells you he wants your sugar at 120! I reversed my diabetes (and other "conditions") fast when I became vegan and got off all my medicines. My sugars typically run in the 60s and 70s and I feel great! Would never try to raise my sugar to please a typical mainstream doctor.
120s is horrible. My father is a diabetic and even his goal is to be at least below 100. Im prediabetic and ive decided to go plant based because of so many people testifying on the reversal of diabetes. I am trying to prove it to my dad that it works so then i can convince him to try.
I'm 5 months in and feel great. Was dizzy for a few weeks but that went. Now I feel ten times stronger. My muscles feel mega ripped and I don't really work out. People I've not seen for a while are asking how come I look so well.
Went pescatarian overnight 2 years ago from a high meat diet and I couldn't stop going to the bathroom for the first week. lol when I transitioned to a 100% vegan diet six months later I didn't have any issues!!
@@charliechocolate9462 Dr. Barnard has great recipe books....as does Chef AJ, Pam Popper, Rip Esselstyn and Dr. Michael Klaper. That's the place to start. And change your breakfast. That's easiest. Steel cut or GOATS with blueberries and flax to start. You can add from there. And drop dairy. That is the by far the simplest thing to do to begin.
I just ate a huge bowl of oats w almond milk with cinnamon and berries..and my stomach knew it was full and i told it to shut up...and still ate too much...because it just tasted sooo good.
This gives me so much hope!!! been a vegan for a couple of weeks and i have struggled with gaining and loosing weight and then putting more back on for 11 years!!!
I actually have less gas on vegan. Mind you, I was eating loads of fibre while being and omnivore so I have not been feeling the sudden increase in fibre. I think I have less gas now because my food transit time is faster. Also, my general BO, mouth odour and poo and gas are all dramatically different. I mean big time difference... My shit don't stink!:-)
Good tips for people going from omnivore to vegan. I went from vegetarian to vegan, no gas or bloating issues. And I ate more, but still lost 16 pounds and 2 inches off my waistline without trying. Probably from no longer consuming all the fat in dairy cheese.
Should have mentioned the inflammation reduction. It may not happen immediately. My experience was the remedy of somewhat persistent edema in my left foot and ankle area. The edema started after a biking accident. Doctors and specialist could not diagnose it. My foot would not be swollen all the time; When it did swell my protocol was to elevate the foot for 20-30 minutes at the end of my day. For more than a decade I did that. Long story short, after about, I want to say 2-3 weeks, maybe 4-6, one evening just before dinner, I'd sat in my chair for my nightly protocol of such a day: To take off my shoe and sock, to elevate my swollen foot. To my jaw-dropping surprise, their was no swelling. Mind you, I am lactose intolerant. So I'd been on plant-based milk for years. And just as information, I'd been off the four-legged 'meats' for a decade. So I'm not sure what, besides, my diet was the 'cure' for my persistent edema. Maybe the remaining dairy, something in the fast food, an increase in nutrients from more vegetables and fruits. You still can be overweight as a vegan eater. I love me some vegans. I have found that plant-based whole foods is the motto, category, mantra or whatever you want to call it for me. It helps me minimize the processed foods which are vegan but not the better choice. I notice that my lunches remind me of my childhood when my mom prepared a small bag of food for school. I have a container of my main meal, a container of fruit and a tiny container for a snack (a couple of cookies and/or trail mix). Consistency is the key
Years ago, when my diet was more meat based, I had gas issues. Over the years I've gradually reduced my meat and increased my fibre and haven't had gas issues for decades. Now I'm vegan, there's been no change
I drink 1 oz real apple cider vinegar in the morning and 1 oz in the evening to reduce gas. Stomach acid lessens in people over 40 so this is a good idea anyway.
For issues in adjusting to beans, there are products and spices that can be used to reduce gas, eg Bean-zyme, ajwain seeds, asafoetida, turmeric, ginger. I went vegan a couple of months ago, and did the slow adjustment, so there were minimal issues with digestion. However, I noticed the body has become more sensitive to foods that are not so healthy - particularly many processed foods and including any foods with too much fat. Such experiences have made it clear that it's not enough to go vegan, but the diet has to minimise or cut out processed foods, and keep fats as low as possible (no added oil), especially if you have delicate digestion.
Never thought I would do this, I’m on my 5th day! First 2 days were the hardest, my first goal is to be able to do it for 120 days, after that I will make a decision.
You can do it. I went vegan for my bday last sat. Everyone is supportive and I'm excited to learn more recipes,lose weight,be more conscious and reverse my bmi from 38 to 31 like it should be.
Before I went vegan three years ago, I had slowly slipped into a cheesesteaks-and-burgers-every-day phase, so before I knew it I was up from my normal 165 to 185. Going vegan got me down to 177 and for three years I fluctuated around that weight, continuing to eat vegan junk food several times a week. For me, being vegan basically prevented further weight gain, but didn't lead to weight loss. But it wasn't until I went completely starch-based when the COVID crisis happened a few weeks ago that I really started to notice a difference. In a few weeks I'm down 15 pounds and the downward trend continues. Thanks to legumes and grains with no oil or processed foods.
It should be noted, about gases, it's very different from beans to beans where yellow peas are among the worst 💨. And it's also about how you cook them, at some you have change the cooking water twice. Adding spices like oregano can make this easier to handle.
I had hard gas pain day 3 , also a clothes drenching night sweat when my blood sugar was dropping down past 80. That happened only once. I check my blood sugar rightbefore bed and if it’s low, don’t take the meds. That works.
By eating pickles & sauerkraut before your meal, you will digest the most challenging meals with no difficulty! I very often entertain and as long as we have the pickles & Kraut..no one has ever mentioned any problems.
I'm able to stay under my maintenance calories and get more protein than my daily requirement on a vegan diet. You just have to count calories and your macros and be smart about which foods you choose if you're trying to do a body recomposition. I started doing this two months ago and have been losing fast while not losing muscle. In fact, some of my lifts have gone up. The only problem I had at the gym when I went vegan was all the extra fiber that my body wasn't use to... particularly doing squats 💩🤣 But my body adjusted eventually 😜
I really liked this interview! Although I have one thing to say. You cannot lose fat if your pounding in the nuts, seeds and avocados. You just can’t. The fat you eat is the fat you wear, yes that’s right.
It’s really easy to build up a tolerance for beans as you grow the micro biome and bacteria that like to digest beans! I like a lot of the info in here but some of it might be a little misleading to newbies!
I don't know about the "melt away the pounds" part. I've been struggling over the last couple years with fat. Lots and lots of ways to very easily overdo fat, especially with avocados & nuts (and oils - MUST avoid oils)
Instead of demonizing ESSENTIAL fats such as nuts, seeds (like flax, pumpkin, chia and sunflower) or avocados - all of which are plant based rich sources of Omega 3s and 6s, maybe stop using maple syrup, agave and any other sugars regardless of the source. Better to get the vitamins, minerals, omega 3, protein, etc. than eating processed foods and sweets, including "gluten free" foods. Most grains are naturally free of gluten, but when some are processed they are loaded with added sugars. Check most any "whole grain" bread list - LOADED with sugars and corn solids! Most people are not even gluten intolerant or Celiac, but are reacting to GMO and other unnatural chemicals in conventional and processed foods, especially dairy if they are "vegetarian". I hope this helps. :-)
1111TruthSeeker that all great but what if one does as you say? Some people actually gain weight at first....especially if you have metabolic damage. I excluded all processed sugars, oils, added salts, etc. I pretty much ate vegetables, fruits, beans, rice, quinoa, ect. Whole foods only. I didn't eat avacodos but that's because I don't like them. Nor do I like bananas. I did have some seeds like pumpkin, unsalted sunflower seed. A small amount of almonds and cashews. I didn't eat syrups and didn't even know about agave until I was a yr into my vegan diet. I gained 25lbs at first until my body balanced out. . . Then I did lose and feel great.
❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO❤❤❤❤ I am working hard on slowly going back to vegan for my diabetes and obesity…^____^ Last February I went from 206lbs down to 189lbs and I felt SUPER GREAT…sadly by Springtime I gained all of the weight back and am slowly getting myself back on the WFPBD❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To be honest, I believe it might be difficult for me coz the hardest part would be not able to drink coffee the way I’m use to from my childhood; with milk. I’m badly addicted to my coffee consumption and I believe I might try to be vegan for a week to see if I’m able to achieve this new lifestyle or not. Also, looking at my pet dog, I hate to eat an animal knowing it’s as living as my pet or me. It just happen recently when I gave a thought about stop eating chicken. It’s a ever-long habit and the way we’re living from our children and that’s why it’s super hard to even think about changing. But let’s take the first step!
I’m trying to deal with my 19 years of ulcerative colitis w WFPB. When will it start to work because the blood loss is scary, even for me. WFPB 17 months now. No meds. (They tried but failed all biologics and msalamine, methotrexate but that was years ago0) 55 yrs. old non drinker, non smoker, jogger when I have the energy.
i’m 14 and i’m underweight and have decided to go vegan ( i’m not severely overweight i’m around 10 pounds underweight) and i’m scared that i’m gonna loose weight… i’ve tried to gain weight since i was 11 but it was really hard for me. Any advice on how to gain weight while i’m vegan?
She states at 6:30 that bloating and gas are a transitional issue when converting to plant based eating. I have been whole food vegan 14 years and still can get considerable gas and painful bloating. I have to limit certain foods such as beans, . I can't handle most legumes except at very reduced amounts. I don't know why this is. It seems like it was not as bad in the first few years of being vegan and has gotten really bad the last 4 years. Maybe I picked up a bad bug somewhere. I eat reduced amounts of and have to watch things like beans, mushrooms, onions, garlic, broccoli (all the really healthy stuff). Perhaps it is that combination with eating more fibrous starchy foods like whole grains.
@PositivePioneer Check out The Happy Pear channel's low FODMAP vegan/plant-based recipes. They also have an online Happy Gut course, overseen by a plant-based gastroenterologist. I believe the recipes have been created by an NHS (UK) dietician. It might be helpful for you, or, at least, worth exploring.
Hey everyone! Went vegan 8 days ago and since Thursday I’ve been experiencing chest tightness and being very achy and having headaches wondered if anyone experienced this in the beginning? I also have anxiety disorder so it’s not the first time I’ve experienced chest pain but just was curious if anyone has had the same experience first starting out
Hoping you're feeling better now because there's a lot of evidence that says anxiety is caused by the chemicals in meat. Not chemicals put into meat but the chemicals in the animal
I can’t seem to lose weight 3 weeks and have no energy…. I’m trying to figure out what is the hype? Obvious not everyone has the same amazing results. I wish somebody would come on and tell the truth about the negative affects of transitioning for some people. It’s discouraging and I feel like I’m not even doing the right thing, I’m starting to doubt whether I should continue to eat this way.
The issue could be too much processed foods or not enough calories. Why not see a nutritionist or dietician who can assess the diet and see where the problem is.
Not everyone loses (and keeps off) weight. I have been vegan 13 years and when I say vegan, I mean vee--gan. I eat one box of donuts (with eggs in them) per year at Christmas. That's it. I was vegan 9 months before I lost any weight and I lost a significant amount but over the past 5-7 years, I've gained 30lbs back. I only have 30lbs more to go to be my pre-vegetarian weight. Vegan diet does not necessarily mean perfectly healthy and no such thing as overeating. Other than that, my health is perfect and I'm 53.
Bunny Smith you know there’s vegan donuts right ? Not very hard or expensive to get. And about your weight loss problem; you’re right, some people dont lose weight by simply going vegan so doing a bit of aerobic exercises definitely helps.
my experience is exactly the opposite, I gained 5 Kilograms & 3% Body fat & 1-2% visceral fat on 2 weeks vegan diet and no i'm not graineterian or junk vegan, only whole food plant based, vegetables & fruits & nuts
That's usually what it is. For WEIGHT LOSS. You want to be eating the real starches. POTATOES SWEET POTATOES RICE OATS WHOLE WHEAT PASTA. Add some beans to this. Like one of my Delicious vegetable curries. Or my bean burritos. Mashed potato with Barley and bean stew. Trust me you will feel so full. You will not overeat on calories and the weight will fall off of you. I went from an obese 225lbs at 5 8". To a toned 165lbs in just 7 months. Eating food like this.
I’ve been vegan for 3 months and I gained 5 lbs 😭 what did i do wrong!? I’ve been eating so healthy. Lots of veggies, very little oil, and very little salt plus 2 liters of water almost everyday... i hope i will lose it back 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
yep but vegan food is a lot less calorically dense so you can eat the same amount and lose weight. (except if you live off of oreos and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches of course)
Please help! I'm guessing that I am just different, everything works different with me; I went Vegan over night! I had terrible stomach pains, even constipation, bloating, gassy, gaining weight. I really had these systems while eating a meal, the pains and the gas while at the dinner table along with an immediate full feeling were unbelievable. On day 54 I went to the restroom it was very painful and bright blood on tissue, I was seen by a doctor that same day, he question my new diet and vitamins and wants me to see a Nutritionist immediately, And my poop has been a pale tan color for almost 2 weeks. Doc said because I had no nutrition in my body. I started eating meat and dairy products again for 3 days now and of course all symptoms as of today are gone# What gives, please! 😥😓
yeyiisz ,,, Thank you! But, should I try vegan life style or just give it up? ! What is your opinion, I wanted to go the extra mila and kept telling myself that I could do this. Thank you for your comment and prayers.
"Went vegan"...this can mean many things.Did you just cut out animal based foods and carry on eating what you normally eat or did you research what you should be eating?Your food combining choices can have a dramatic effect on the outcome.Eating properly should not have the negative outcome that you have described although in some cases the adjustment can be a shock to your system,a system that is used to the SAD diet. Smoothies should become a staple every morning(or whenever you decide) as you can put most every healthy ingredient(nuts,seeds,greens,fruit etc) into one easily digestible and nutritious package.I spoon in ground flax,hemp etc for added goodness. Give your gut bacteria time to adjust and try to get some juicing in as well. Hope you do not stay with the "started eating meat and dairy products" route...give your body time to adjust and maybe get off the animal poison slowly.You will be happy in the end...very happy.Go well :-)
Paul Mack ,,, , I think maybe I was eating too many vegetables at the beginning also a lot of beans, this may have been my problem and I took out all meat products and dairy products at once. I did go back to eating some meat for 6 days and now I went back to the vegan diet. I love smoothies it's been very cold so I haven't done smoothies for awhile, I will start again. Thanks for your help!
@Daughter of the king What exactly were you eating on said vegan diet I know fat vegans who live on french fries and soda. There are good and bad vegan diets.
Although I do agree that plants are really good for us, a little meat/fish/dairy is what is needed for optimal health. IT’S HOW OUR ANCESTORS ATE!!!!!!!. ALL of the food should be clean and organic with the animal based foods being humanely raised.
A vegan diet is the best way you can for optimal health. Check out the documentary WHAT THE HEALTH- it’s loaded with info about this. Also, nothing about the way animals are raised in the meat and dairy industries is even close to “humane”...but let’s say in a dream world they were raised humanely...how do you humanely slaughter them so you can eat them? If you can explain humane slaughter, I’d really like to hear it!
Historical fallacy. Not more true because its in caps. Forget what the health though do some of your own research from unbiased peer reviewed articles. After doing my own research ive come to the conclusion that eating meat even in small amounts is just not worth the risk. Nobody can tell you for sure that its bad for your health (thats not how science works) but once you have read the data its hard to deny. I grew up on a beef farm so believe me when i say i tried to deny it.
From eating meat over 30 years to going vegan I hardly ever see people recommend taking probiotics 50 billion or more at least a week prior to transitioning cold turkey and the gas is almost not even an issue.
I've been vegan for years and I have never lost weight. Either I have the worst cortisol issue ever seen in "man", or I don't know what to say. I am NO skinny vegan, yet I eat predominantly plant based (occasional mock meats, but not frequently), and I am not a big sweet eater. I am at a loss. Regardless, my blood work is amazing and veganism has been a lifesaver for me... just not a weight loss success.
Are you using oils? I never lost weight either, although I was never overweight, at least according to my BMI. Still, I knew I would be better off losing about 5-10 lbs. Then recently, almost 25 years in, I cut out all oils and processed foods--for my creeping up blood pressure, not thinking about weight. To my surprise, I not only brought down my BP, but lost almost 15 lbs, eating lots of food.
Are you eating refined foods, like pasta, rice, breads? These are no good. Combine them with fats? Even worse. Stir clear of that and see your weight dropping fast! 🙂
starting going vegan for a week now and i’m never going back, i’m trying to gain weight actually do you have any advice to gain weight while being vegan?

What's your experience been? TY!
Still vegan!?
becaue it will cause brain damage

I'm 5 months in and feel great.
Was dizzy for a few weeks but that went.
Now I feel ten times stronger.
My muscles feel mega ripped and I don't really work out.

Great interview! I like that you talked about the beginning issues, but that they will pass. Our bodies are meant to eat this way 😊😊😊😊
I killed it aft going vegan. Lost 15 pounds in month one and lost my spare tire of 20 years. Body feels great and mind is alert. Great choice!
For issues in adjusting to beans, there are products and spices that can be used to reduce gas, eg Bean-zyme, ajwain seeds, asafoetida, turmeric, ginger.

Such experiences have made it clear that it's not enough to go vegan, but the diet has to minimise or cut out processed foods, and keep fats as low as possible (no added oil), especially if you have delicate digestion.
Where do you get your protein? The same place chickens, turkeys, cows, pigs, and fish get their protein, from the plants we eat.
exaclty
Great answer. Love it👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

It’s really easy to build up a tolerance for beans as you grow the micro biome and bacteria that like to digest beans! I like a lot of the info in here but some of it might be a little misleading to newbies!
I don't know about the "melt away the pounds" part. I've been struggling over the last couple years with fat. Lots and lots of ways to very easily overdo fat, especially with avocados & nuts (and oils - MUST avoid oils)
Instead of demonizing ESSENTIAL fats such as nuts, seeds (like flax, pumpkin, chia and sunflower) or avocados - all of which are plant based rich sources of Omega 3s and 6s, maybe stop using maple syrup, agave and any other sugars regardless of the source. Better to get the vitamins, minerals, omega 3, protein, etc. than eating processed foods and sweets, including "gluten free" foods. Most grains are naturally free of gluten, but when some are processed they are loaded with added sugars. Check most any "whole grain" bread list - LOADED with sugars and corn solids! Most people are not even gluten intolerant or Celiac, but are reacting to GMO and other unnatural chemicals in conventional and processed foods, especially dairy if they are "vegetarian". I hope this helps. :-)

1111TruthSeeker that all great but what if one does as you say? Some people actually gain weight at first....especially if you have metabolic damage. I excluded all processed sugars, oils, added salts, etc. I pretty much ate vegetables, fruits, beans, rice, quinoa, ect. Whole foods only. I didn't eat avacodos but that's because I don't like them. Nor do I like bananas. I did have some seeds like pumpkin, unsalted sunflower seed. A small amount of almonds and cashews. I didn't eat syrups and didn't even know about agave until I was a yr into my vegan diet. I gained 25lbs at first until my body balanced out. . . Then I did lose and feel great.
My HbA1c levels dropped rapidly when I turned vegan and are now back to normal eating wfpb.
I'm on week 3 being a vegan. I hope to push through
Great interview! Thanks for posting:)
❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO❤❤❤❤ I am working hard on slowly going back to vegan for my diabetes and obesity…^____^ Last February I went from 206lbs down to 189lbs and I felt SUPER GREAT…sadly by Springtime I gained all of the weight back and am slowly getting myself back on the WFPBD❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To be honest, I believe it might be difficult for me coz the hardest part would be not able to drink coffee the way I’m use to from my childhood; with milk. I’m badly addicted to my coffee consumption and I believe I might try to be vegan for a week to see if I’m able to achieve this new lifestyle or not. Also, looking at my pet dog, I hate to eat an animal knowing it’s as living as my pet or me. It just happen recently when I gave a thought about stop eating chicken. It’s a ever-long habit and the way we’re living from our children and that’s why it’s super hard to even think about changing. But let’s take the first step!
I've been vegan for about four months now...25lbs lost, BP and cholesterol are lower and I don't wake up during the night anymore!
I've been vegan since June 2017 ,I've dropped 30 pounds so far .
I’m trying to deal with my 19 years of ulcerative colitis w WFPB. When will it start to work because the blood loss is scary, even for me. WFPB 17 months now. No meds. (They tried but failed all biologics and msalamine, methotrexate but that was years ago0) 55 yrs. old non drinker, non smoker, jogger when I have the energy.
What about lectins?
Boxer David Haye has actually gained more muscle mass since going vegan.
Sprout the beans before cooking
I have been in a much better mood since I have been on a clean vegan diet.
i’m 14 and i’m underweight and have decided to go vegan ( i’m not severely overweight i’m around 10 pounds underweight) and i’m scared that i’m gonna loose weight… i’ve tried to gain weight since i was 11 but it was really hard for me. Any advice on how to gain weight while i’m vegan?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out too
Been vegetarian since the begging on this year. Working towards plant based 💕
how’s it going
She states at 6:30 that bloating and gas are a transitional issue when converting to plant based eating. I have been whole food vegan 14 years and still can get considerable gas and painful bloating. I have to limit certain foods such as beans, . I can't handle most legumes except at very reduced amounts.
I don't know why this is. It seems like it was not as bad in the first few years of being vegan and has gotten really bad the last 4 years. Maybe I picked up a bad bug somewhere.
I eat reduced amounts of and have to watch things like beans, mushrooms, onions, garlic, broccoli (all the really healthy stuff).
Perhaps it is that combination with eating more fibrous starchy foods like whole grains.
PositivePioneer Do u eat canned beans or make your own beans from dry beans?
Jeenjeanjeen Kind of both. I used to cook my own in batches. Lately haven't been eating many beans but sometimes buy the cans.
I eat 600 grams of mung beans per day (96 grams of fibre) , and I rarely need to fart now.
What was your fibre intake?
Are you getting B12?
@PositivePioneer Check out The Happy Pear channel's low FODMAP vegan/plant-based recipes. They also have an online Happy Gut course, overseen by a plant-based gastroenterologist. I believe the recipes have been created by an NHS (UK) dietician. It might be helpful for you, or, at least, worth exploring.
She's refreshingly punny
I've noticed more inflammation in the body since going vegan almost 2 weeks ago... Anyone know why?
I honestly gained weight after going vegan which for me was a positive. I learned to enjoy food eating this way.
Hey everyone! Went vegan 8 days ago and since Thursday I’ve been experiencing chest tightness and being very achy and having headaches wondered if anyone experienced this in the beginning? I also have anxiety disorder so it’s not the first time I’ve experienced chest pain but just was curious if anyone has had the same experience first starting out
Hoping you're feeling better now because there's a lot of evidence that says anxiety is caused by the chemicals in meat. Not chemicals put into meat but the chemicals in the animal
What do vegans eat , how they get their nutrients & proteins & feed yourself so you can function ?
I can’t seem to lose weight 3 weeks and have no energy…. I’m trying to figure out what is the hype?
Obvious not everyone has the same amazing results. I wish somebody would come on and tell the truth about the negative affects of transitioning for some people. It’s discouraging and I feel like I’m not even doing the right thing, I’m starting to doubt whether I should continue to eat this way.
The issue could be too much processed foods or not enough calories. Why not see a nutritionist or dietician who can assess the diet and see where the problem is.
You’re amazing, weightloss champ!!!
I’ve been vegan since 2016, but I’m 30 pounds overweight, and it’s very hard for me to lose weight. I’m also very lethargic all the time.
When I went vegan I immediately went for the beans and I had some gas for like a day or two but after that I’ve felt great
If you eat brussels sprouts the problem never gets better ;)
dunklaw oddly enough grapes do it for me
What the hell are you talking about?????WTF
Anton Bouchette squeeze cheese!!!!!! 😀
Cauliflower.. I can't eat! Terrible gas and super smelly! But beans, cabbage, broccoli, etc I'm fine! So weird
Not everyone loses (and keeps off) weight. I have been vegan 13 years and when I say vegan, I mean vee--gan. I eat one box of donuts (with eggs in them) per year at Christmas. That's it. I was vegan 9 months before I lost any weight and I lost a significant amount but over the past 5-7 years, I've gained 30lbs back. I only have 30lbs more to go to be my pre-vegetarian weight. Vegan diet does not necessarily mean perfectly healthy and no such thing as overeating. Other than that, my health is perfect and I'm 53.
You do realize the importance of counting calories for weight loss right?
Bunny Smith you know there’s vegan donuts right ? Not very hard or expensive to get. And about your weight loss problem; you’re right, some people dont lose weight by simply going vegan so doing a bit of aerobic exercises definitely helps.
Wow! The MC saved his own life.
my experience is exactly the opposite, I gained 5 Kilograms & 3% Body fat & 1-2% visceral fat on 2 weeks vegan diet and no i'm not graineterian or junk vegan, only whole food plant based, vegetables & fruits & nuts
Possibly too much fat like nuts and not enough high fiber foods? Got to watch the pasta and bread too they’re pretty high calorie
That's usually what it is. For WEIGHT LOSS.
You want to be eating the real starches.
POTATOES
SWEET POTATOES
RICE
OATS
WHOLE WHEAT PASTA.
Add some beans to this. Like one of my Delicious vegetable curries.
Or my bean burritos.
Mashed potato with Barley and bean stew.
Trust me you will feel so full. You will not overeat on calories and the weight will fall off of you. I went from an obese 225lbs at 5 8". To a toned 165lbs in just 7 months. Eating food like this.
I’ve been vegan for 3 months and I gained 5 lbs 😭 what did i do wrong!? I’ve been eating so healthy. Lots of veggies, very little oil, and very little salt plus 2 liters of water almost everyday... i hope i will lose it back 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Two litres of water !?
onisions brother
one year in, I'm still fat - BUT I don't have high blood pressure anymore
Vegan day 17!!!
The law of thermodynamics still holds.
yep but vegan food is a lot less calorically dense so you can eat the same amount and lose weight. (except if you live off of oreos and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches of course)
Émile ha, yes, those are vegan foods and very "calorically dense".
Vegan for 2 months❤️it
Gas was an issue at first but after a while it became non existent after the microbes adjusted to it.
Please help! I'm guessing that I am just different, everything works different with me; I went Vegan over night! I had terrible stomach pains, even constipation, bloating, gassy, gaining weight. I really had these systems while eating a meal, the pains and the gas while at the dinner table along with an immediate full feeling were unbelievable. On day 54 I went to the restroom it was very painful and bright blood on tissue, I was seen by a doctor that same day, he question my new diet and vitamins and wants me to see a Nutritionist immediately, And my poop has been a pale tan color for almost 2 weeks. Doc said because I had no nutrition in my body. I started eating meat and dairy products again for 3 days now and of course all symptoms as of today are gone# What gives, please! 😥😓
Daughter Of The King that sounds horrible, I’m praying for your health!
yeyiisz ,,, Thank you! But, should I try vegan life style or just give it up? ! What is your opinion, I wanted to go the extra mila and kept telling myself that I could do this. Thank you for your comment and prayers.
"Went vegan"...this can mean many things.Did you just cut out animal based foods and carry on eating what you normally eat or did you research what you should be eating?Your food combining choices can have a dramatic effect on the outcome.Eating properly should not have the negative outcome that you have described although in some cases the adjustment can be a shock to your system,a system that is used to the SAD diet.
Smoothies should become a staple every morning(or whenever you decide) as you can put most every healthy ingredient(nuts,seeds,greens,fruit etc) into one easily digestible and nutritious package.I spoon in ground flax,hemp etc for added goodness.
Give your gut bacteria time to adjust and try to get some juicing in as well.
Hope you do not stay with the "started eating meat and dairy products" route...give your body time to adjust and maybe get off the animal poison slowly.You will be happy in the end...very happy.Go well :-)
Paul Mack ,,, , I think maybe I was eating too many vegetables at the beginning also a lot of beans, this may have been my problem and I took out all meat products and dairy products at once. I did go back to eating some meat for 6 days and now I went back to the vegan diet. I love smoothies it's been very cold so I haven't done smoothies for awhile, I will start again. Thanks for your help!
@Daughter of the king
What exactly were you eating on said vegan diet
I know fat vegans who live on french fries and soda. There are good and bad vegan diets.
I was completely constipated for a month
Although I do agree that plants are really good for us, a little meat/fish/dairy is what is needed for optimal health. IT’S HOW OUR ANCESTORS ATE!!!!!!!. ALL of the food should be clean and organic with the animal based foods being humanely raised.
A vegan diet is the best way you can for optimal health. Check out the documentary WHAT THE HEALTH- it’s loaded with info about this.
Also, nothing about the way animals are raised in the meat and dairy industries is even close to “humane”...but let’s say in a dream world they were raised humanely...how do you humanely slaughter them so you can eat them? If you can explain humane slaughter, I’d really like to hear it!
Historical fallacy. Not more true because its in caps.
Forget what the health though do some of your own research from unbiased peer reviewed articles.
After doing my own research ive come to the conclusion that eating meat even in small amounts is just not worth the risk. Nobody can tell you for sure that its bad for your health (thats not how science works) but once you have read the data its hard to deny.
I grew up on a beef farm so believe me when i say i tried to deny it.
Manny Radzky your ancestors never bought their food from corporate America where greed is supreme.
I agree ppl forget there’s such a thing as organic dairy and grass fed beef and organic chicken
i actually have less gas being vegan but when i do these joints are the real deal
I definitely fart more as a vegan but who cares!!😂
Maybe your body isn’t able to digest so many fermenting rotten vegetables?
I am definitely more gassy and I'm 2 weeks in lol
Been a vegan for the 2nd week
No tie 😊👍❗
From eating meat over 30 years to going vegan I hardly ever see people recommend taking probiotics 50 billion or more at least a week prior to transitioning cold turkey and the gas is almost not even an issue.
Every vegetarian or being vegan should take at least twice the week a good dose castor oil in order to prevent an intestinal blockage.
I went vegan for a week, I poop 3 times a day and it’s fluid, how can I get back to once a day and having solid poop again😂?
I wonder if the bags under her eyes were there before the vegan thing or after.
I thought the guy in purple is sebastian stan and i be like: "Bucky???"
sprout beans and that will eliminate gas
Hello! How?
I've been vegan for years and I have never lost weight. Either I have the worst cortisol issue ever seen in "man", or I don't know what to say. I am NO skinny vegan, yet I eat predominantly plant based (occasional mock meats, but not frequently), and I am not a big sweet eater. I am at a loss. Regardless, my blood work is amazing and veganism has been a lifesaver for me... just not a weight loss success.
Are you using oils? I never lost weight either, although I was never overweight, at least according to my BMI. Still, I knew I would be better off losing about 5-10 lbs. Then recently, almost 25 years in, I cut out all oils and processed foods--for my creeping up blood pressure, not thinking about weight. To my surprise, I not only brought down my BP, but lost almost 15 lbs, eating lots of food.
What's is your daily calorie intake?
Brooklyn Hudson drop sugars/sweets completely for a month and off goes pounds/kg
Are you eating refined foods, like pasta, rice, breads? These are no good. Combine them with fats? Even worse. Stir clear of that and see your weight dropping fast! 🙂
Try the raw fruit diet. I like mangos.
I find it creepy, to see what looks like two people sitting across the table from each other talking, yet never sharing eye contact.
been vegan for 10 mins,, not going back :P
😂😂😂Welcome aboard🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
I can handle lentils, split peas and soy beans but other types of beans...no.
Be careful not to have too many nuts and seeds in a day. Lots of cal.
Nuts and seeds don’t add weight to the human body.
Plant based for 1 month, no weight loss at all
Scook Culture may be you need to Shit more...
@Scook Culture
What exactly are you eating in a typical day?
cut your calories and increase cardio!
Vegan for a year and half and NEVER going back to eating animal cruelty ever again!!!
starting going vegan for a week now and i’m never going back, i’m trying to gain weight actually do you have any advice to gain weight while being vegan?
... but I don't want to lose weight. Too skinny for going vegan?
Skinny here too, and vegan. Just make sure your caloric intake is adequate, and you'll probably be fine.
