When my 19 yr old daughter went vegan i was alarmed and worried for her. I gave her the "you need protein" argument and "but we're omnivores" argument. Then i decided to really research Veganism so that i could talk her out of this lifestyle using facts and science. Well it didn't work out the way I envisioned it would. It's been 3yrs and she's still Vegan...but now so is her 55yr old Dad.! Best decision I ever made. My health (weight/cholesterol) has dramatically improved as a result. My daughter mayve saved my life through her quiet yet firm insistence on being a vegan.
AWESOME!
that's great! good on you for being a thoughtful and considerate dad who listens.
I love this! It gives me hope!
Good on you. And for those worried about B12 - just take the supplement. I have and have no issues. If compassion and empathy a cult makes - then I'm on board. If normality means animal cruelty/exploitation and environmental breakdown - you can count me out. Glad I woke up.
YOU ARE SUCH A MAGICAL AMAZING FATHER OMFG I LOVE YOU :D
I'm the only vegan in my family lol after so many years :') sighhh
I saw the documentary, "Forks Over Knives" two and a half years ago. I switched, cold turkey (pun intended), to a plant based diet and lost 35 pounds in 3 months. I have been eating a plant-based vegan diet ever since and I feel absolutely amazing. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend educating yourself and making changes in your diet!
Jacob McCaslin woot! way to GO, Jacob!!! I'm 57 and at age 53 had my carotid artery scan done...*NO PLAQUE BURDEN* is what the report said...and my arterial age is YOUNGER than my actual age...folks, EMBRACE the plants...get away from meats & dairy & processed junk! helps immensely!
***** Wait! So eating meat improves bone density. Damn! Gorillas everywhere are in danger! To arms, To arms!! lol.
***** Framingham Heart study does not state that. It's exactly the opposite. The most successful drug we've discovered since antibiotics are the cholesterol lowering hmg-coa reductase inhibitors aka STATINS. Lower LDL (with a favorable HDL:LDL ratio) is correlated with lower cardiovascular risk.
I have the distinction of knowing Gary Taubes. I also worked in the lab that did the research which his book is based upon. You're very much misrepresenting the data that we collected. My original statement still stands. :-)
+Jacob McCaslin what about the B12 vitamin ??
Here's to a plant strong 2023! This talk has really encouraged me I hope I can do it.
Me too!!
You can!❤
❤❤❤
How’s it going?
will be turning 65 this month. For the past several months I have not been able to straighten up when I get out of bed. It was difficult to get dressed and put my shoes on. It lasted for about 30 minutes after walking. I tried a new mattress, a memory foam pad, stretches and exercise with no improvement. I figured this was how it was going to be and I was getting really depressed. After 4 days on a vegan diet, I realized one morning that the pain and stiffness was gone. Really! I could not believe it. It sold me on it. I am so impressed with these young people on you tube that have come up with ingenious vegan recipes that are delish. Hats off to these young people for learning excellent eating habits at such a young age.
Hello, +Mary Sisak . I liked your comment.
As a 65 years old guy, overweighted battling diabetes and cholesterol, I definably have the same thoughts that you had about your life.
How are you doing now? Do you still in a plant based diet? How you learned about plant based diets?Thru youtube content? or some friends or doc recommended it to you?
I am curious to know about your story because you are an inspiration.
That's amazing😮
I appreciate your comment. I have been following Whole Food Plant Based diet for 5 weeks but had a similar experience to you. Within 2 weeks I was sprinting up and DOWN the stairs at my office. I had not been able to do that for years. My energy is through the roof. I hope you are doing well. Mary.
I've been eating plant based diet for 5 days now and need this support. I'm 235lbs and 5ft8 woman. I want to be healthy to keep up with my child
You can do it!!! Amazing changes will happen!! Just stick with it!!
+reina67 your doing great
Thanks, I've lost about 8 lbs..and I cheated twice with a homemade hamburger. I got so sick and so now I'm back on track with almost 1 month eating plant based
+reina67 YOU GO GIRL!
Watch 3 hours in one setting here on youtube slaughterhouse videos. You will never want meat ever again.
I'm so happy to have found this lifestyle at 17. I hope my family starts listening to me soon!
heyheychels they wont. But its good you do.
heyheychels they *Might*...just be the shining example sweetie!!!! good for YOU!
heyheychels Hi! Thanks for sharing! On a similar note; have you tried " Vidadsmedia Fast Weight Loss " (should be on google...have a look)? My best friend who is quite a plus size had some dealings with them and was impressed by their superb testimonials and reviews and tried their recommendation!
heyheychels Outside of my mom my family never did. But i have my own family now and they do :D
heyheychels That's awesome! Congratulations! I went vegetarian at 18 (I'm 28 now.)
Each year, education for a better lifestyle and planet gets better and better, glad this helped you!
Be plant strong!
Vegan since birth! ✌
Definitely have to thank my parents for their conscious effort during my early years.
That's awesome! Would love to hear more! Ever thought about making videos on it?
It's a miracle you are still alive!
but you look so tiny?? like no muscle
Lucky YOU!
Shut up! you're indian
Awesome, not only for our health but for the planet!
How is a vegan diet good for either our health or the planet?
😂😂😂
I thought this guy died because it said RIP Esselstyn, I was googling him to try to find out how he died, I was kind of sad, then I found out that his name was Rip, so fucking funny, and relieved that this guy is still alive lol!
Oh this really made me laugh!!! :))))
Thats fucked up hahah
+phantomofoaktown I did the same thing - Lol
phantomofoaktown ohhh,lol😂🤣I was thinking that too...So happy to know it's just his name😃🙋🏻👍🏻👍🏻
phantomofoaktown lol I thought he died too.
"If it doesn`t love you back kick it out"! Haha, that`s the best sentence I`ve heard in a long time! Good advice indeed! ;-)
haha was awesome
YOU ARE AWESOME!! THE TIME IS NOW!!!!
Loved your presentation! I really wish people would heed the warning.
I've been vegetarian 54 years; vegan 5 years.
My cholesterol level is normal and so is my weight.
Healthy as a horse at 77!
That is a very long time !! How did you find being a vegan and vegetarian over the years? Was it considered hippie to be a vegetarian? Were you ever been bullied for being a "right wing" plant eater ?
Congratulations..! I've been vegan for a bit over a year now... can't go back... 😁😁
its my 3rd week as a Vegan. Must say i Feel way more Energetic than Before !
Bananas are my Fav !🍌🍌
Hey ! i was thinking , why I'm a Feeling tired a Bit.....is this because I'm eating Too much ??? idk 😅
Great job Piyush!
Piyush Sharma
me too! It's honestly the best choice I've ever made! My energy levels INCREASED. I feel a lot healthier and fit and happier in general.
2 years ago you stated you're new to Veganism. Are you still vegan, now?
It's been 4 years , are you still vegan ?
LOVE him shutting them right down.."no guys, it puts plaque in your arteries and makes you less of a man."
My husband and I decided to become vegetarians 15 years ago after I was diagnosed with MS. I recovered. But after Covid, we suffered all sorts of sequels so we became vegans on February 2022. We feel great! Our 28 yo daughter is a vegan too and we see how her emotional condition changed too. Of course only being vegan isn't enough. We don't consume any processed foods znd sugar. We practice yoga and take cold showers. We stay away from the news and any source of negativity.
My husband is a doctor. I studied nutrition and psychology. Our patients who became vegan improved their health significantly. 20 years ago all i was eating was meat. I was a reactive negative person. Now I look back and feel like it wasn't me. I wish everyone to became vegan but I understand that each person has to come to this decision when he/she's ready.
I been vegan 3 year and i not gonna go back to meat ,vegan life is so amazing
“You’ve been marketed to death”
So true.. it’s horrific.
as this guy tries to market you lolol
@@ravvshikonovsalmonella4867 he didnt get any profit from it bruh
0q⁰
He died
im starting my vegan diet tomorrow. I bought all my veggies and fruits today. i start tomorrow. Going for 30 days.
don't forget to soak your beans for 24 hours and throw out the water and resoak every 12 hours. you'll be less gassy that way. Cheers.
+mrbonzzai Ok thanks. its my 4th day and ive lost 4 pounds and feel great
Eber Vazquez Oh wow!! Good for you. Keep going!! I found the initial drop in weight was big too, but I think for me it was mostly from simply going to the washroom so much.
BTW. Make sure you take a table spoon of ground flax a day for your omega3's. Flax has the highest concentration of omega3's on the planet. And supplement your b12. Vegans that don't take in extra omega3's have high omega6 to omeg3 ratio because omega6 fats are more prevalent in processed/prepared/modern foods. High omega6 and low b12 is the reason why some vegans get heart disease just like meat eaters. Omega3 and b12 reduce blood vessel inflamation and damage. If you take flax and B12 while on a healthy vegan diet, you'll live till your 90/100.
Wow thanks. Im down 13 pounds and im actually starting to see my upper abs.
I started that 4 + years ago for a challenge with my daughter. Im still on it, she is not. I have lost 80 pounds and she has gained it and lost it and gained it and lost it and gained it. All she needs is to stick with it and the weight will go away and she will feel better.... She is going on 50 years old and has her own mind.
Best speech, clear, full of humor and effectieve. Thank you!
Vegan for 12 years, plant-strong since I was 20 years old. Yes!!
When I saw "RIP Esselstyn" in the title I was devastated and thought Caldwell Esselstyn had passed away. I quickly did a google search and I am relieved to find out Caldwell Esselstyn is still alive and spreading the plant based food message and his son's name is RIP.
2 people, Doctor Caldwell and Dr Esselstyn ( senior citizens) collaborated on research about healing with a better diet.
I love my plant based diet. Ive been vegan for over a year now, im a 20 year old female that battled severe acne, i went to the dermatologist for many years and was prescribed retinol, pills, cleansers and a few more things. While the retinol worked, it made me skin dry and it was very expensive, and if i ran out my skin would break out even worse than it did before. I quit it cold turkey after going plant based and got one or two zits, then suddenly none ANYWHERE on my body. When people argue that a plant based diet does not solve their acne by saying their acne is hormonal, they need to realize that my acne was 100% hormonal as well! In fact, i had recurring ovarian cysts that would grow on my fallopian tube since i was 16. GONE. Dairy is loaded with hormones because it is meant for CALVES!!! no other species should be consuming another species milk, its not healthy.
Please, if you struggle with acne, psoriasis, any skin condition, hormonal imbalance, PLEASE give up animal products
Give up all dairy and meat products. Not some, ALL, and you will reap the benefits. I feel amazing and i look amazing. I love my body now and i feel confident. I cant even tell you how shocked my dermatologist was.. I even put coconut oil on my skin and hair, the oil my derm told me would clog my pores and give me acne..
Wow, that's so amazing. I'm 19 year old female and have decided to go vegan and have been vegan for 3 weeks now and am loving the results :) how I feel and what it's doing to my body, I don't think I'm ever going to go back now
Me too. I've been vegan for over 6 months. I changed my diet because I've had acnes on my face, back, and breasts since I was 13.
Maddie Elfiky My story relate to your thank God I made this decision an now I can feel the Joy of my face be free and healthy looking from acne.
Being vegan is my life and there id nothing better than this I feel my body and now there no need for all stomach pain which I want through when I was eating meat, I feel happy and healthy.❤❤❤
Madrid Elfiky. I have psoriasis 😞 do so you think it will help me with my psoriasis ? 😕 x
I like the plant-strong vocab use. I'm a vegan but the word seems to carry such negative connotations. I say it and people switch right off. Plant-strong is really great. Especially for dudes. Love it!
Same for me!
I just realized I'm five years late to the party. Went vegan two days ago after watching Forks over Knives.
I have been vegan three months now! It is well worth it! Plant based is literally saving my life!
Plant-based lifestyle has been lifechanging for me. I lost my very fit father to undiagnosed heart disease on the day he was going to retire at 68 years old. He rode his bike up to the pool to swim his daily laps and lift weights on his lunch break, had a massive heart attack and drowned in the pool. One of his arteries was 95% blocked and another 85% blocked. He was eating a keto style diet. Just before that happened I'd read the China study and changed my own diet overnight. I lost 15 pounds, my depression and headaches went away and I was finally able to sleep through the night. It was too late to save my dad but it's now my life's work to share my story of vitality with others! 11 years later I have stuck with it and still feel amazing!
I've been 100% vegan since April 2016 and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I feel happier, healthier, and more energized than I ever felt in my whole life. I can't believe I didn't go vegan sooner.
a pinkandyellowflower is a poppy isn't it? I guess you would feel better. Get back with us with the results of your blood work a year from now.
pinkandyellowflower me too! It's honestly the best choice I've ever made! My energy levels INCREASED. I feel a lot healthier and fit and happier in general.
pink and yellow flower?
give it a few more months
You still vegan? How you feel now?
What a dude :-) Great video. The world is waking up, gives me so much optimism for our future
Joe ScienceVegan wish you were right but still only about 2-5% of the world's population is vegan. There's a loooooooong way to go and I just don't see it happening.
What I find in my plant-based journey my cravings have subsidied and I found out that when the body starves for nutritional foods and we feed them..they are satisfied..it's what they long for and I no longer want to cheat nor eat something non nutrient..the body is amazing..I eat a lot of Starches.when I'm invited out for pizza which was my kryptoite and I say no thank you..this plant-based lifestyle is the real deal..loving this journey.
Amazing presentation. A whole food plant-based lifestyle is the only diet that has proven in random control trials to reverse heart disease, diabetes and many other chronic conditions caused by our western diet. Kudos!
Plant strong for many years. Awesome!!!!
Happy, Healthy, Fit and many other positive things to long to list.
My dog is plant strong too, had crippling arthritis and other serious issues when i rescued him.
My heart bleed, i made his meals daily, yes, tedious to say the least.
My surgeon vet was floored to see him walk normal and pain free happy and healthy. His Glaucoma and digestive system and brain-fog and aggression are all gone. He thankfully also stopes running into things. ( those injuries would cost a lot at the vet)
People who met him at the beginning and see him now and experience his disposition are surprised.
My fiends are usually already meat free, most dairy and egg free. Now all the dogs are too.
No one can know unless they give it minimum 28 days, i like 3 months. Why? Its from the inside out anti aging. And we all want to be sexy, strong and find happiness.
I tried it and never looked back.
I was brought up on meat and potatoes and milk and eggs.
I had so so many issues.
Its been another year I'm plant vegan. My dog and i have the healthiest blood levels and test his vet and my doctors said they have seen
Vegan POWER.
TodaysRealHealth, can you tell me what kinds of foods you prepared for your dog? Mine has such bad joints, I can't even take him on walks anymore. And how many times a day do you feed it?
missmacy118 do you add water to its food?. Random I know but that will cause arthritis like crazy. There's calcium in the water, makes the food gritty. I did that with my cat and that messed it around so bad. Lead to its death
missmacy118 keep your dog warm
What kinds of food did you feed your dog that he would eat? Ours are not very healthy and we are taking them to the vet way too much.
I really hope this generation will be the ones to turn veganism into the majority rather than minority :)
me too!!!
I think it's definately going to happen.
Then you haven’t researched the negative effects of the diet or have bought into the idea that there is a huge conspiracy against vegan diets. Search ex vegans on TH-cam. They can explain how toxic both the vegan culture and diet are.
I find it amusing that people are deterred from making a huge environmental change because of the "culture". The notion that people are scared of a diet because of the attitude of their fellow participants is absurd.
Cordelia M It Is Happening 😁💗🌎🎉
I am SO thankful I found this way of life and appreciate SO much Dr Esselstyn and Rips knowledge as well as Dr Campbell! This has changed my life and Im just at the beginning but I am empowered in seeing all the wonderful people whos lives have been changed ! THANK YOU RIP!!!
I loved the dragon analogy in this insightful talk. Really highlighted the dangers of obesity and huge benefits of a plant based diet. Thank you 🙏🙏
I have been a 100% raw foodist for over 15 years, at 66 I feel great. I have come to believe that this is the best diet, but I also have learned that I should not care what anybody else does. If someone wants to eat meat, junk or even junk vegan food, good for them.
+Ronnie & Minh No it's not good for them or the planet ;)
+Ronnie & Minh You're good people. I find it difficult to get behind something that has so many extremists involved in it. Don't get me wrong, the passion most of them have is incredible, but when someone is in my face telling me I'm wrong for some way that I live my life then all it does is cause me to distance myself from that way of life further. People that are supportive and understanding of different walks of life and different phases in life (such as yourself) are the only reason I even consider following a different lifestyle such as a plant based diet. So thank you very much for having an agreeable temperament! May you always find what you're searching for in life. Have a nice day! :)
+Nattybruh LOL This is the most ignorant comment I read in the last 15 years. Before that I made a comment similar to this one and knowing better now I feel ashamed of how majestically ignorant I was. Research my friend. Read books and watch videos. Health is not having a nice good looking body. A dear friend of mine 41yo just had a stroke during an Iron man competition 2 months ago and he is alive for a miracle. He did Iron Man competitions for many years but his arteries were badly clogged for his heavily meat and dairy based diet. The irony of it all is that he is also a cardiologist.
+Mason Allen Hi Mason, a raw food diet is not something that "you get behind" it is something that comes to you and you become it.
+Nattybruh If you are 24 years old than you really don't know what you will be like 42 years from now. Everybody thinks they know everything when they are 24, but later you will find out that you really knew nothing.
I went vegan 2 months ago and it is amazing, I feel so incredible, I am able to recover and build muscle better since transitioning to a vegan diet...
Am loving this presentation for it's content, delivery, humor, and presenter. Thank you for enlightening and empowering us to take charge of our own health... It's happening now.. "The meek shall inherit the earth..." Many blessings your way...
I'm vegan over 4 years, It was my the best decision in my life. I'm 52 years old now.
You're vegan? What do you add to your diet? Clearly you live on plants or you'd be dead by now.
I started my journey 3 weeks ago. My energy is amazing, I can breathe out of both sides of my nose for the first time in years, and the dark circles under my eyes are fading. This is amazing stuff
I really thought at the end he was gonna say
"and why is my t-shirt inside out?.. because going plant-strong... *wips off tshirt to reveal ripped body* ... works"
...missed opportunity imo
I thought he was going to do something like that too.
Shit, now I know why he's called Rip
so true!
hahaha
So did I 😂😂
Rip Esselstyn is so inspirational! I went plant-based two years and saw differences in my weight, health, and energy. I'm glad he's spreading the message to the country. We truly need more education!
This guy might live forever. I have met him. He's RIPPED!
Really a strong force, outstanding posture for health and wellness.
I like him.
Diana
Rip, I've got to say a massive thanks! This talk helped me go plant based and although I got a little stick over Christmas I'm determined to go a full twelve months to assess my cholesterol and weight levels and who know I can't see me going back !! Thanks again and here's to a plant strong 2017!!!!
+@UC0I5lE4d8xRpRc7bGDwVtbA
I liked your comment. I liked a lot Rip's TED talk too. He is great.
I've been thinking about change my diet too, I like to do triathlon and I want to see if PBD will help me to be more health and recover fast.
Did you started in a Plant Based Diet? If yes, How are you feeling?
How this TED helped you to change your diet?
There are any other content here in TH-cam that helped you in your transition? If yes, could you recommend some to me?
Thank for your comment, I will be glad to hear about you soon.
Brandon.
This talk is just amazing! This guy nailed it! So eloquent!
Been Plant Based two years! Changed my Life for the better! Within three months on a plant based lifestyle I was off of all prescription meds. 2 years strong and down 40 pounds. Im 41 and feel 21.
You are so cute I wanna cry😭 I'm definitely recommending this as a transition video for my friends!
Thank you Rip for this awesome video and thanks to you and your dad for saving lives.
Was vegan for a little over a year and just yesterday went back to it. Cant wait to regain control over my life again, and be the best most compassionate human I can be.
I love how he looks like his dad
It is amazing to be involved in such a great movement! Plant Based eating is truly the best for having optimal health. My family has been plant based for two years now and we feel great!
Why stop after 2 years ?
@@gabriel65304 maybe it's just the way they wrote it was incorrect. I hope they're still vegan.
@@gabriel65304 ''has been'', so it's still ongoing.
THIS VIDEO MAKES ME SO HAPPY
I know!
This is one of the best speakers on TED I have seen. He delivered a great talk, and I am going to take action towards a plant based diet:)
+Alyssa Michelle how are you? I am curious to know if you started your plant based journey. Did you? if yes, was this TED talk relevant to you change your lifestyle?

I played this clip for a class of high school students, and they got it! Thanks Rip for keeping it real!
Are you still plant-based now?
I love eating plant-based! I've been doing it for 7 years, and it's the best change I've ever made in my life.
This has absolutely been proven right and accurate. Plants have all we need--they have vitamins, minerals, oils, proteins and all the needs of the human body that are nutritive to the biochemistry of the body.
It that why vegans HAVE to take B12 supplements?
paul coombs Nutrition Facts for Spirulina www.funkyfreshfoods.com/facts/spirulina_nutritional.php
20 mcg per serving compared to the 2.4 mcg daily requirement in adults. You do the math and then do your homework. Dismissed.
***** Funded by whom? Im English, so am not familiar with that abbreviation.However, I bet the body that made those claims is related to the agriculture business right?! .
I eat dirty food.my suppliers, leave dirt on food.
***** So you don't think some bias may exist?? FFS Sake don't be so naieve.
Well said...good analogy! 👏🏼👌🙏🤗 not to mention all the helpless animals that are spared also.
This is a great presentation! It is just this simple. Eat plant based and change your life for the better! All of my recipes are plant based to help people make that choice deliciously =)
Ooo. I'll have to check out your channel to add to my recipes.
I’ll check it out. Thanks
Nice to see you here this channel here
will be checking you out madam
As per the Vegan and Vegetarian scientific Research study by experts -
Plant based foods should not be Mass produced. Else it adds to all the
industrial farming hazards like chemical sprays, fertilizers,
deforestation and we then again come back with the same environmental
impact. You need organic farming to save the planet, else no point in
promoting veganism or vegetarianism or any modern healthy diet. 90% of
the plant based food all over the world are Non Organic farming yields.
Amazing. Facts spread out with no arrogance . The way to spread the message .
Looking forward to meeting a plant-strong man with a roaring magic dragon!
Preach it Rip! Absolutely the best way to eat for your health.
Still primarily plant based now for 5 years:) and I feel great!
Thanks to you and your family.
Your mom and grandma are the best!
Rip... He love his talk! This guy kills it.
Great message, this guy is the real deal. He has a 2nd Forks Over Knives video (also on Netflix) where he goes into peoples houses to show them how to make it happen on a practical level.
My wife and I are starting a 21 day sugar cleanse on Monday then, going veggie. Wish us luck!
Bro that's great to hear, you *got* this! I've been doing all plant based foods for around 2 months and it has literally changed my life. I feel so good all the time. I'm so pumped I could go on and on. If you need any inspiration or motivation holler at me. I've got a long list of books (audio and ebooks) and documentaries I can share. Best of luck to you!
Will do!
Excellent talk and very empowering! Sadly during medical school, we were deprived of nutrition education. I now teach my patients about the role of nutrition and disease prevention.
I just found a new doctor who encourages a plant based diet in his patients and is vegan himself.
I am vegan and am delighted to find a primary who values diet.
My last doctor was an overweight neurotic woman! 😕
What a fantastic presentation! Love all the book references, too, and have just added a few to my reading list. We went vegan almost a year ago and within just days felt so good I knew we’d never go back. Thanks for all the information!
This was 7 years ago... I'm SO glad so many more people are making plant based mainstream 🙌
Love this! This diet healed me of severe eczema, without a doubt.
Amazing! How long did it take eating this way to heal?
A GREAT presentation!! Plant based IS the way to go!!! I've been doing it for over 40 years and I really do look like my photo though I'm 63 years old. Flavour comes from creative use of spices
Great stuff and well presented. My life has changed drastically after I lost 40 pounds from a plant based diet. Big fan of juice fasting as well. Thank you for sharing.
Of course you lost weight, because veganism is nothing more than fasting.
After surviving cancer, I became pure vegetarian and I love it. Thank you man. My prayers are for your departed soul. Stay happy wherever you are
The guy ain't dead. He's alive. I follow him on Instagram. Don't be confused by the name Rip. 😊😊😊
Great speech! I hope to have the same influence on others for this plant based life style. It truly is the way but I don't know the way to explain it to them without sounding crazy to them. You did a great job! Thank you! I will fw this onto others!
Simple and inspiring message. Thank you!!!
Excellent Ted Talk! Very informative and engaging. Bravo for the initiative you took to help educate your associates and make a long lasting difference in their lives. Great man.
Absolutely strong speech! Simple loved it 👏
Day 9 for plant-based vegan after many years on and off low carb. Love Rip and all the Esselstyns.Great diet and great recipes. And I’m already feeling better than I EVER felt on low carb! (ginny)
Thank you so much for educating me and promoting a plant base diet. I am just learning and am in my 3rd week. I feel great
Thank you for all the much needed information. I am always constipated.
So amazing. I hope more people hear this message and give plant based a try!
Going vegan changed my life in so many ways, and I know I am not alone. I am an athlete and my performance skyrocketed. It also motivated my mom to go vegan too and she lost 30 pounds in 2 months. The best part about it is that you can just eat all day without gaining any weight because it is so low in calories! Yayy
This is so empowering, thank you so much!!!
So much like his Dad. Great people and i admire them for spreading the truth on plant base diet.
Awesome I have gone vegetarian before for months but I am going to try to do it totally and no going back now. I may even go vegan but one step at a time. Thanks!
John Driver I tried several times. The third time, it finally stuck. Been plant based for over a year, now. I still slip into the cheese trap, though. Starting soon(once I learn more about how) I'll be starting my own channel, to chronicle my rise to fitness.
John Driver veganism cured many diseases in me
Jason Simpson go with vegan cheese!, they are just awsome! good luck!

veganism changed my life ♥
Nattybruh you haven't looked hard enough. Plenty of plant based/vegan bodybuilders that are smoking hot. Search "vegan bodybuilders" on TH-cam
Veganism and plant-strong are not the same thing.
Glad to hear it ... changed my life too !
Whole food plant based diet will change your life (no sugar, no oil, no white flour, no excess salt)
Sara Etyemez so what's the difference? Please enlighten me.
I was meat eater all my life. I took an ethics class at my university and turned first vegetarian and then vegan a couple of years ago. I'm still obese because I still had a too much of a sweet tooth. But still, when the doctor checked me up he couldn't believe how incredibly good all parameters were. Including blood parameters. So there was medical proof for what I felt for all the time, that becoming a vegan was one of the best choices of my life.
Now I'm embarked on a journey to lose weight, do more sports and finally going whole food vegan. And it's actually fun. And very successful so far.
I never was easily convinced by easy solutions. But it's really this simple:
Start a whole food vegan diet and your doctors are going to miss you. And you are going to look better too. While protecting the environment, help poor people in other countries and helping your own countries health system.
Good Luck to you to loose weight 🇮🇳🙏
I want to be Real Healthier and fast more and also drink more water.

Literally, plants are as alive and sentient as animals. There's no ethical argument in favor of eating plants. We also absorb a fraction of the nutrients from plants that we do from animal foods. I spent 10 years vegan, then raw vegan, and wish I could undo those years of malnutrition and abusing my digestive tract. No vegans thrive without loads of processed fake foods and powders and supplements. There's a reason. You can have a sweet tooth and not be obese, but not as a vegan. I speak from experience. First, start weight training, immediately. It changes your metabolism and body composition like nothinfnekse, improves bone density and releases much needed human growth hormone. Second, as the other comment said, drink enough pure clean water daily. Third, at least incorporate fish, eggs and some red meat once weekly or a couple of times per month. Nothing replaces bioavailable heme iron and predigested aminos in animal foods. There's no compassion in harming yourself for a perceived cause. You can also obtain eggs and meat from people who respect animals, are grateful for the sacrifice and treat them well. Native Americans had that innate connection to the animals they killed for food (skins and bones) and utilized every bit of the animal while ritualized their gratitude as a tribe. We have lost that basic instinct. Pray over meals. Whether plant or animal, give thanks to the living, breathing being that gave its life for our sustenance. All life consumes life, top to bottom, even within the mineral kingdom, in the soil. Be sure you are honoring your own needs to your best ability.
Ps, have not seen an MD since 2001. No need with proper nutrition, exercise, hydration, rest and fresh air. Keeping stress low is crucial as well, but the aforementioned elements help to do that.
As for feeding the poor worldwide, there's a reason places like the Heifer Foundation bring a cow or a goat to poor families, not sacks of beans. Even raw milk alone can help a family thrive like no plant food can. But there's no reason to push away any of the foods we can use to thrive.
For me.carnivore do the magic. Plants makes me inflamed
BRILLIANT! Thank you so very much!!!
This encouraged me to continue my new chosen Diet. Im on my day 3 of vegan journey. Thank you!
Iv been vegan for 10 years , I recently had a full blood test . The nurse said I’m the healthiest person she’s seen all year . I still get egg and blue cheese cravings but they don’t last forever and once your full you don’t think about it . Good luck to anyone that is going plant based
Week 4 being vegan..the mind clarity, the energy, the good mood, the positive attitude I’m experiencing is just incredible!! ✊🏻🌱
Love this! So well said! Thanks for preaching it the way it is! :)
"we do not want this to be about willpower..." God Bless You!!! :D
Thank you sir! I'm gonna try you'r advise and I hope it will make the best from me.
I so love this! I have been plant-based on and off for years - but it's listening to messages like this over and over that renews your mind to make the decision once and for all. #onrepeat
+@UCzaWhE-MN60LiVzew-vgD9w. WOW!!!
Did you started in a Plant Based Diet? If yes, How are you feeling?
What was the importance of Rip's TED TALK to you change your diet? This content appeared to be a life changed to you, is that right?
I would love to hear about your story.
Thank you for sharing I will always support you to learn
Thank you for sharing your story. Great!
Thank you for your educational presentation.
I also have your book and i'm slowly converting to plant based eating.
Great talk Rip! Everyone needs to hear this :)
He's probably the BEST speaker I've heard and watched doing TEDx Talks.
Did he make you go vegan?
@@antoinetteparry7667 I was actually inspired to go vegan after watching Game Changers on Netflix.
@@hotrizod777 I regret your decision. It's not exactly a natural diet and in my opinion it's dangerous, especially for children. No human being has ever lived on a vegan diet for a very good reason. It's impossible.
Rip is................. well ripped. He and his dad are such an inspiration.
