@Bez Nervoze I'm sure that's true, as it is with every human. He goes directly off studies though and even shows counterevidence to things he has a financial stake in when it's necessary. I have more trust in him than most doctors.
@Bez Nervoze Maybe not, although the book "The China Study" shows the same thing he's talking about. I'm not a doctor so I don't know if it's true or not, I can't verify. I also can't say it's not true, I'm not educated on the topic enough.
Excellent video. We are both in our 80's and feel better than ever! Years ago we both REVERSED life-threatening illnesses by switching to a whole-food plant-based diet. We are doing some research for our tiny new healthy-aging advice TH-cam channel. Learned a lot. Thank you!
I want to share with you all that the first impact it had on me was to eliminate my cravings and ferocious appetite. I only did intermitten fasting, leaving a 16 hr window before eating again, but then I tried a few days per week of a 20 break before eating. It was incredible. I felt peaceful and finally had relief from my cravings for carbohydrates and sugar. I started to realized that all my life, feeling the slightest bit hungry made me panic. With IF, I knew that in fact, when I felt a bit hungry my body was potentially clearing out and recycling wastes cells etc. So I now welcome mild hunger and act on it when I really am truly hungry in shorter eating windows 6-8 hr windows each day. It makes me very selective about the healthiest of foods, as though my body only wants lots of nutrients and tastiness, no garbage. Anyway no pressure but I encourage you to try it.
I tried talking about Dr. Greger’s last video about fasting at work, and it was dead on arrival. Not water cooler type of material. On different wave lengths I guess. Haha. At least I’m thankful for Dr. Greger’s hard work. It changed my life.
Why share what works for you with a bunch of those that dont really care . Just tell them to pig out on lard :) and coconut oil and coffee peanut butter coconut ice cream .
I did a 5-day distilled water only fast and did not see any detox until day 5. So I suggest you do a 5-day instead of 3-day. Day 5 was vomiting dark brown liquid and lots of it, but it did not happen until day 5.
My wife is not vegan and I am. I have been eating more processed foods to not be so different from her, but found myself experiencing bloating and weight gain due to the salts, chemicals, and those non whole food ingredients. I am now eating one large meal with varied vegetables and fruits and the weight is coming down as is the inflammation but my first day was met with some light headedness and a dull brain ache. I am sure that was me detoxing and readjusting to my old favorite non processed foods. I also ride the bike a little every day but the smoke outside makes it very little riding.
My doctors warn me against fasting, but I do it anyway because I'm addicted to it. I fast 72 hrs per week (F/S/S) and practice one a meal a day the rest of the week. Only eating two meals if there's a function I need to attend. But as a chosen recluse these are far and few.
@@ainsleyameerali7622 anything but water can slow down the healing process, you wanna allow the body to deeply rest, and anything that stimulates be it the taste buds or rest of the digestive system, takes the body's attention away from any existing problems/healing its doing to deal with incoming contentsss. I'd look up true north centre and see how they do it, they are the leaders in the gameeee
Have done 21 and 20 day waterfast on destilled water and healed Skolioses , carpal tunnel injured shoulder and many more stuff. Next goal is 42 days waterfast. We are frugivores
Very interesting video. My wife and I LOVE watching NutritionFacts each morning and discovering ways to be a little bit healthier. We have a question: My wife and I both take supplements and eat a mostly plant-based diet. Does taking supplements in the morning with water on an empty stomach cause the body to come out of starvation mode when you are fasting? Does the body look at supplements as "food"? Have we been fooling ourselves into thinking that we've been getting the health benefits of intermittent fasting when we take vitamin supplements in the morning on an empty stomach? Please let us know!
I'd like to know what happened in the water-fasting study. Adverse effects are nearly 100% guaranteed in all individuals who are water fasting. In fact, to a lazy, overweight individual, I'm certain that mild hunger would be an adverse effect (rather than something to simply be expected). So, adverse effects are mostly meaningless with the exception of effects that are not to be expected. A water only fasting group in a clinical setting should easily see significant measurable improvement in blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood triglycerides, and other measurable indicators, as well as some pretty great anecdotal improvements.
hilomona I didn't dismiss any data. I dismissed the relevance of adverse side effects because.. they aren't relevant. They're very subjective and mostly based on the claims of the participants rather than being based on data. I think the video was good. I simply expressed that I would like to have seen the results of the study on water-fasting because he didn't mention anything about it other than adverse effects and not only is water-fasting ACTUAL fasting, but the purported benefits of going long periods of time, without eating anything at all, are borderline miraculous and I'd like to see more clinical literature on it.
To me it just seems that eating unhealthy food (animals, refined) is what causes issues, and people think it's the magic of fasting that heals them when it's just that they stop eating these unheathly foods. If this is the case, then you can just eat a low-fat high-carb whole-food vegan diet and not have to skip meals.
Are there any benefits for people who are already WFPB/no oil/sugar, who are at a healthy weight, lift weights, run, are generally active with optimal blood work and have no apparent health conditions?
I watched this video a couple of months ago and researched the Buchinger method and clinic. After a successful 10-day cure / fasting, my life did change dramatically. I lost 7 cm of visceral circumference, dropped nearly 7 kg (over 14lb) creating a new lower baseline, and more importantly: my systolic blood pressure dropped by 40 points while my diastolic dropped by 25 points. The physician at the Buchinger clinic also provided much needed minerals which have helped me incredibly, to the point that when my family doctor saw me he could not believe the results and said I did not have to take any medication after all. Thank you for having highlighted this study which in turn brought me to this amazing clinic.

*Conclusion:* Plant Based is what helped for the most part, but the stock fasting edged it out in a few areas of health. Fasting helps encourage you to eat better AFTER the fact. Having trouble eating whole food? Fast. Not issues eating whole food, but suffering from headaches or inflammation? Trying a stock fast for a few days then go back to a balanced whole food plant based diet.
With the title of this series being fasting and health, no discussion of the advantages of water fasting? (Yes, yes I've seen the admonitions regarding lean tissue loss etc., in his previous series.) Many researchers like Longo, Sabatini, Sinclair, Patrick, and clinicians like Attia, and Fong have identified fasting not for weight loss but for health span, and morbidity compression. Buchinger modified fasting (with taboos like fruit juice!) shows advantages, what about other types of fasting (With taboos like butter)? Ketosis not for weight loss but to help with metabolic disorders? Do these things not fall under nutrition?

Mike Skylark I’ve been considering a 2-3 day fast to kick start my weight loss again since I lost 90 pounds and now I seem to be gaining /plateauing from losing the last 10-20 pounds or so. My body just won’t lose more weight especially since I gained muscle
@@mariahspapaya AWESOME I AM EXACTLY IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU LOST 70LBS AND PLATEUED.i am really struggling.so may be i should do what you are doing.....thats going to be a challenge.but i will try.i do 18 hr fast everyday
@@mikeskylark1594 I'm lean and have no problems with IF. Lots of lean people IF without issues. You have some other specific to you problems you need to look into.
@@Pannakoppala you gonna plateau eventually when you lose enough weight for the amount of calories you eat. Your calorie intake to body weight will equalize and stay the same from there on. There is no magic about IF, it just easier to naturally eat less on it. If you want to lose more weight, you need to cut down your calories even more. But there you might start under-eating, feeling hungry, weak, not getting enough vitamins/nutrients, etc. You don't want to overdo it.
@@sferrara He also likely has metabolic issues (unless he talked himself or worried himself into a placebo effect). As you train your body to become more adaptable it can burn fat or burn glucose as the need arises. Constant snacking and never fasting over 8 hours can lead to these metabolic syndromes. You should be able to do a full normal workout after 24 hours of no eating and feel fine.
Stephen don’t have to know you personally to know how the human body reacts to fasting. Check out dr Alan glodhammer or Loren lockman on water fasting. If your body is clean, you won’t feel lousy while fasting. And juice cleansing is better to detox so check out John rose for that.
Could we say he does the Adventist calf raise/heel lift emphasis when speaking or is that just a Doug Batchelor thing, from whom he picked up from? Dr. Greger does have his own style though.
the importance of fruit when 1 needs fasting from indulging. always gota trust the lemons squeezed into the water. &time for berries, apples&their seeds-peeled is the key...
Two days a week I fast till dinner it's helped maintain my thirty-pound weight loss from earlier this year plus the no red meat and more fruits and vegetables.
See "L'art de jeûner par Françoise Wilhemi de Toledo". It's in French, unfortunately. But search at Google; perhaps you will find something in English. The fast, according to this video, prepare you for better result of conventional treatments. I suppose it should be monitored by professionals.
Good video, garbage study since it didn't reveal much about fasting and had too many issues. I'm looking forward to a video that covers zero calorie liquid only fasting (such as water fasting or fasting that includes water, black coffee and tea) and autophagy. This is the biggest reason many choose to fast.
I saw a video interview of dr Jason Fung. He recommends (probably) no coffee for autophagy because coffee is made from beans, beans have protein, protein stops autophagy. He said more research is needed.
Anyone else see Gregers lecture on how vegetarians fare worse than carnivores with all the diseases including cancer and heart attacks? Have the statistics changed since then Dr. Greger?
@@Sarandib22 yea, i dont mean that. What i mean is that they would feed us unhealthy food and i would try to just eat dinner and add some commissary items to my dinner. fasting for my breakfast and lunch could be healthy. prison is interesting but would never want to go!
The problem with this and so many of Greger's videos is that he never clearly and succinctly states a conclusion or thesis. The viewer is left wondering what the point was.
He addressed this question in his book "How Not to Die". "... My hope is to disseminate it in a way that removes me as much as possible from the equation. I don’t want to present the trademarked Dr. Greger Diet; I want to present the best-available-evidence diet. That’s why I show the original papers, charts, graphs, and quotes with links to all the primary sources in my NutritionFacts.org videos. I try to keep my own interpretation to a minimum-though admittedly, I sometimes can’t help myself! ..." And I believe this should be the case. As individuals of this world of misinformation and disinformation, we really need to discern the true information when the evidences are laid out.
I like his information but am often repelled by his unnecessary dramatic histrionics.... it seems to force my eyebrows to raise while closing my eyes and nodding my head slowly left and right...
Interesting, so the benefits people have seen from fasting could largely have been just because they weren't currently poisoning themselves with junk food & animals ... or at least that's what this sounds like to me. Did they glance at the telomeres while they were there?
No, the modified fast had better results for the clients' main health complaints. The fasting group was "much better" at a higher rate than the eating group: 36.7 vs 24.2. See 3:19 in the video. Plus some experts claim that the modifications reduce some of the benefits of fasting such as autophagy, BDNF, and Mtor.
Great Video! I Do 18/6 Fasts on a Keto / Carnivore Diet. Helps me with my Ulcerative colitis. Regardless what diet you are on, There is One thing we can all agree on, is Sugar is Evil!
Don’t worry about fasting, the LDS(Mormons), have been fasting from food and water for 24hrs once a month for over a hundred years. I have never seen anyone get a negative response.
Meanwhile... centenarians in the blue zones never fasted a day in their lives. The main problems are processed foods and seed oils combined with sedentary lifestyles. Getting a break from the SAD(Standard American Diet)diet and you feel magically alive again.
Except that one of the Blue Zones is Ikaria, Greece. Traditional Greek Orthodox folks(and all Eastern/Coptic Orthodox Christians) fast as a community according to the traditional Christian church calendar. We fast from all food the first day of Lent (Clean Monday) (first 3 days if you are extra tough/devout). The Friday (and possibly Saturday) before Pascha/Easter Sunday. The days before Christmas, and Theophany, etc., etc.. Also the morning before receiving communion. We also eat only vegan foods about 50% of the year. Vegan days are Wednesday and Friday, and all days during Advent, Lent, and two summer periods(Apostles, Dormition). [All fasting recommendations are contraindicated for pregnant and nursing mothers, small kids, and ill people.] I've moved around a lot. Whether our church's secondary language is Greek, Arabic, Russian, Romanian, etc. most parishioners keep the fasts (and this is 21st c. USA where Eastern Christians are a tiny minority). So, the old timers on Ikaria doubtless fasted. It's baked into our traditional Christian culture.
Your bizarre bad William Shatner impersonation is so off putting. Also, you are supposedly a doctor yet you call the lack of hunger during an extended fast “surprising.” This in itself shows you know very little about human physiology.
If he said surprising, he meant to most viewers or in general. He has been around long enough to know for sure. Yes he is very animated and takes some getting used to. You are mistaken on his understanding of physiology. Need to look much deeper into his work to understand. He really put me off at first. Reminded me of Ron Popeil selling something. But quite the opposite in fact.
I just eat when I need to, sometimes I eat 3 servings and sometimes I eat one in a day. I just go with what my body feels. I know if I start going on a weight lifting faze I eat like a maniac
You don't know when you "need" to eat. Just because you're feeling hungry doesn't mean you "need" to eat. Same as if you don't feel hungry, doesn't mean you don't "need" to eat. If you just gonna go by hunger feel, you are surely going to overeat, as you will keep eating a little more and more each time.
Vitamin B right, that hunger feeling is sometimes thirst, so I try drinking water first. I don’t agree with the second part though. I’ve never heard of needing to eat even if your not hungry, do you have something to back that up vitamin B
@@gabrielgagne3850 Eating when you're not hungry simply means you eat on a set schedule. For example, if you eat twice a day at 2pm and 8pm, then even if you're not hungry at those times, you will eat anyway, because an hour or two later you will get hungry anyway. And if you end up eating just once a day because you weren't hungry, then that means you just took in too few calories during the day, and that ain't good if you're trying to build or preserve muscle. Too much of a caloric deficit will eat your muscle away, not just fat. It's also better to eat when you're not hungry as you will naturally eat less. When you're hungry, you want to eat everything in sight, and will tend to overeat. Eating when not hungry means you also eliminate that annoying hunger feeling later on for most part. Most of the time when it comes to eat I feel just very slight hunger, nothing crazy. But I also attribute it to eating just twice a day. The fewer times a day you eat, the less hungry you will feel once you settle into such regime.
Vitamin B when you don’t have processed food like oil or salt, there’s no such thing as overeating. And muscle doesn’t get eaten up that fast, it takes a few days of fasting, the body prefers to burn fat or free radicals when it’s just once in a while for short periods. You preserve muscle just fine if you’re working out once a week and overtime not be in a calorie deficiency, but if your an athlete, one week out of the month you recover, or slow your regimen ect. There’s no need to eat when your not hungry unless you are power lifting...and the average person doesn’t put their body in such stress.
So sad that you want to slaughter innocent vegetables, to violently pull them off of Mother Plant or selfishly yank them out of the ground just to stick them in your face, and in so doing violate their basic plant rights. #SaveThePlants
In all His so Called Studies on Fasting I feel He is more n more confused whether it is Good or Bad :)..Neways the point to be Noted is WFPB Diet!! Is there No Nutrition in Meat Doc ?? Lol.
No there isn't. He makes that clear in his videos that cover meat. The studies are not his. Dr. Gregor is a meta analyst -- he studies the studies and presents the findings.
So.....what is the takeaway here....sure, plant based whole food diet, but what about the fasting......I guess he is saying its good or has proven to have good results.......based on that 1000 person study.......so, I suppose I will watch this again as as usual his videos always never seem to drawn a concise conclusion......which I suppose is the purpose and is suppose to allow you to draw your own conclusion or takeaways from this........I would rather he conclude more concisely in some manner......or summarize in the written part below the video as to his own conclusion on the proper thing to do or follow....oh well...perhaps its just me...????
If every doctor was like this guy we wouldn't need 90% of the doctors we have

Lots of nonsense replies here. People making all sorts of silly assumptions, when they don't know the first thing about me.
Stephen don’t have to know you personally to know how the human body reacts to fasting. Check out dr Alan glodhammer or Loren lockman on water fasting. If your body is clean, you won’t feel lousy while fasting. And juice cleansing is better to detox so check out John rose for that.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I love this channel!
I love your enunciation
I wish you would cover fasting for cancer
No good answer for water only fasting on the symptoms he listed at the beginning.
I wish u have spoken 0.75 % of speed to be understandable!
It's as if someone is slowing down pausing and speeding up the video at random intervals
Thx dr gregor
Could we say he does the Adventist calf raise/heel lift emphasis when speaking or is that just a Doug Batchelor thing, from whom he picked up from? Dr. Greger does have his own style though.
I am battling a Cystic Fibrosis. Intermittent fasting reduces inflammation. Even the chronic ringing in my left ear has stopped. 🇨🇦
Why did they not use better controls and measures?
the importance of fruit when 1 needs fasting from indulging.
always gota trust the lemons squeezed into the water.
&time for berries, apples&their seeds-peeled is the key...
These adverse effects are detox symptoms.
True North has been using fasting for decades. Rich Roll just had a great interview with the founder.
The water creatuers in the outro make me think of the invisible monster things from Amnesia.
Two days a week I fast till dinner it's helped maintain my thirty-pound weight loss from earlier this year plus the no red meat and more fruits and vegetables.
Anything about fasting/detox and cancer?
See "L'art de jeûner par Françoise Wilhemi de Toledo". It's in French, unfortunately. But search at Google; perhaps you will find something in English. The fast, according to this video, prepare you for better result of conventional treatments. I suppose it should be monitored by professionals.
Makes sense

Good video, garbage study since it didn't reveal much about fasting and had too many issues. I'm looking forward to a video that covers zero calorie liquid only fasting (such as water fasting or fasting that includes water, black coffee and tea) and autophagy. This is the biggest reason many choose to fast.
I saw a video interview of dr Jason Fung. He recommends (probably) no coffee for autophagy because coffee is made from beans, beans have protein, protein stops autophagy. He said more research is needed.
So this isn’t really fasting - it’s a juice diet (juice fast) vs a veggie diet
True north has studies on fasting, don’t they?
Yes, and one of them is mentioned in this video.
Nice
Love It!
Anyone else see Gregers lecture on how vegetarians fare worse than carnivores with all the diseases including cancer and heart attacks?
Have the statistics changed since then Dr. Greger?
I always thought if by some fate i was thrown in jail, i would fast all day until night just so i could stay healthy
@@Sarandib22 yea, i dont mean that. What i mean is that they would feed us unhealthy food and i would try to just eat dinner and add some commissary items to my dinner. fasting for my breakfast and lunch could be healthy. prison is interesting but would never want to go!
The problem with this and so many of Greger's videos is that he never clearly and succinctly states a conclusion or thesis. The viewer is left wondering what the point was.
That isn‘t “the problem”, that is his way to avoid being viewed as your guru.
He addressed this question in his book "How Not to Die".
"... My hope is to disseminate it in a way that removes me as much as possible from the equation. I don’t want to present the trademarked Dr. Greger Diet; I want to present the best-available-evidence diet. That’s why I show the original papers, charts, graphs, and quotes with links to all the primary sources in my NutritionFacts.org videos. I try to keep my own interpretation to a minimum-though admittedly, I sometimes can’t help myself! ..."
And I believe this should be the case. As individuals of this world of misinformation and disinformation, we really need to discern the true information when the evidences are laid out.
I thought the point was, "Try fasting"
@@pcastonguay yeah but with fruit juice and veggie broth not just plain water?
@@KinaStaru My take on his presentation is that either way (water only or with fruit juice and veggie broth) is fine.
"if the doctors of today don't become the nutritionists of tomorrow, the nutritionists of today will become the doctors of tomorrow"
what's up with the grunting and weather man type stalls and uneven speech patterns? It's awkward. I think he needs more fish oils
The video started with a fasting study but ended with "don't eat meat". No evidence to support that claim.
this video never says how long to fast for
So,he said nothing àbout water fasting(at least 3 days)
True North.
I like his information but am often repelled by his unnecessary dramatic histrionics.... it seems to force my eyebrows to raise while closing my eyes and nodding my head slowly left and right...
It's the opposite to me. I like it a lot. Very funny.
Can’t agree more. It’s overkill.
Have you seen that one guy promoting the carnivore diet ?
Interesting, so the benefits people have seen from fasting could largely have been just because they weren't currently poisoning themselves with junk food & animals ... or at least that's what this sounds like to me.
Did they glance at the telomeres while they were there?
No, the modified fast had better results for the clients' main health complaints. The fasting group was "much better" at a higher rate than the eating group: 36.7 vs 24.2. See 3:19 in the video. Plus some experts claim that the modifications reduce some of the benefits of fasting such as autophagy, BDNF, and Mtor.
Great Video! I Do 18/6 Fasts on a Keto / Carnivore Diet. Helps me with my Ulcerative colitis. Regardless what diet you are on, There is One thing we can all agree on, is Sugar is Evil!
just here for the plot twist
is he auditioning for a Shakespearean role? way to dramatic, can't watch...
Brain atrophy from veganism.
Don’t worry about fasting, the LDS(Mormons), have been fasting from food and water for 24hrs once a month for over a hundred years. I have never seen anyone get a negative response.
Meanwhile... centenarians in the blue zones never fasted a day in their lives. The main problems are processed foods and seed oils combined with sedentary lifestyles. Getting a break from the SAD(Standard American Diet)diet and you feel magically alive again.
I cut out processed foods years before, but didn’t start feeling better and actually getting healthier until cutting out all meat and dairy
Doesent mean fasting doesent have benefits people can utilise.
Except that one of the Blue Zones is Ikaria, Greece. Traditional Greek Orthodox folks(and all Eastern/Coptic Orthodox Christians) fast as a community according to the traditional Christian church calendar. We fast from all food the first day of Lent (Clean Monday) (first 3 days if you are extra tough/devout). The Friday (and possibly Saturday) before Pascha/Easter Sunday. The days before Christmas, and Theophany, etc., etc.. Also the morning before receiving communion. We also eat only vegan foods about 50% of the year. Vegan days are Wednesday and Friday, and all days during Advent, Lent, and two summer periods(Apostles, Dormition). [All fasting recommendations are contraindicated for pregnant and nursing mothers, small kids, and ill people.] I've moved around a lot. Whether our church's secondary language is Greek, Arabic, Russian, Romanian, etc. most parishioners keep the fasts (and this is 21st c. USA where Eastern Christians are a tiny minority). So, the old timers on Ikaria doubtless fasted. It's baked into our traditional Christian culture.
Your delivery is so choppy and distracting.
Your bizarre bad William Shatner impersonation is so off putting. Also, you are supposedly a doctor yet you call the lack of hunger during an extended fast “surprising.” This in itself shows you know very little about human physiology.
If he said surprising, he meant to most viewers or in general. He has been around long enough to know for sure. Yes he is very animated and takes some getting used to. You are mistaken on his understanding of physiology. Need to look much deeper into his work to understand. He really put me off at first. Reminded me of Ron Popeil selling something. But quite the opposite in fact.
You sound like Agent Smith from the Matrix.
In conclusion, eat whole food, plant based 😎
no eat natural meats and organic plant foods with fasting and no chemicals
If you are normal weight, then fasting is bad right? cause then you will become underweight
like he looks and sounds computer generated
I just eat when I need to, sometimes I eat 3 servings and sometimes I eat one in a day. I just go with what my body feels. I know if I start going on a weight lifting faze I eat like a maniac
You don't know when you "need" to eat. Just because you're feeling hungry doesn't mean you "need" to eat. Same as if you don't feel hungry, doesn't mean you don't "need" to eat. If you just gonna go by hunger feel, you are surely going to overeat, as you will keep eating a little more and more each time.
Vitamin B right, that hunger feeling is sometimes thirst, so I try drinking water first. I don’t agree with the second part though. I’ve never heard of needing to eat even if your not hungry, do you have something to back that up vitamin B
@@gabrielgagne3850 Eating when you're not hungry simply means you eat on a set schedule. For example, if you eat twice a day at 2pm and 8pm, then even if you're not hungry at those times, you will eat anyway, because an hour or two later you will get hungry anyway. And if you end up eating just once a day because you weren't hungry, then that means you just took in too few calories during the day, and that ain't good if you're trying to build or preserve muscle. Too much of a caloric deficit will eat your muscle away, not just fat. It's also better to eat when you're not hungry as you will naturally eat less. When you're hungry, you want to eat everything in sight, and will tend to overeat. Eating when not hungry means you also eliminate that annoying hunger feeling later on for most part. Most of the time when it comes to eat I feel just very slight hunger, nothing crazy. But I also attribute it to eating just twice a day. The fewer times a day you eat, the less hungry you will feel once you settle into such regime.
Vitamin B when you don’t have processed food like oil or salt, there’s no such thing as overeating.
And muscle doesn’t get eaten up that fast, it takes a few days of fasting, the body prefers to burn fat or free radicals when it’s just once in a while for short periods. You preserve muscle just fine if you’re working out once a week and overtime not be in a calorie deficiency, but if your an athlete, one week out of the month you recover, or slow your regimen ect. There’s no need to eat when your not hungry unless you are power lifting...and the average person doesn’t put their body in such stress.
#BoycottMeat and all other animal products and exploitation in any way possible!
i really want to but so hard.do you have any alternatives to meat that could satiate us just like meat?
So sad that you want to slaughter innocent vegetables, to violently pull them off of Mother Plant or selfishly yank them out of the ground just to stick them in your face, and in so doing violate their basic plant rights. #SaveThePlants
@@Pannakoppala The most satiating food is a potato.
@@powernoodle1224 More plants and land are required for animal agriculture. If you care about plants then you should be vegan.
@@powernoodle1224 you sure need a hug
is this an ai video? I don't get it?
In all His so Called Studies on Fasting I feel He is more n more confused whether it is Good or Bad :)..Neways the point to be Noted is WFPB Diet!! Is there No Nutrition in Meat Doc ?? Lol.
No there isn't. He makes that clear in his videos that cover meat.
The studies are not his. Dr. Gregor is a meta analyst -- he studies the studies and presents the findings.
So.....what is the takeaway here....sure, plant based whole food diet, but what about the fasting......I guess he is saying its good or has proven to have good results.......based on that 1000 person study.......so, I suppose I will watch this again as as usual his videos always never seem to drawn a concise conclusion......which I suppose is the purpose and is suppose to allow you to draw your own conclusion or takeaways from this........I would rather he conclude more concisely in some manner......or summarize in the written part below the video as to his own conclusion on the proper thing to do or follow....oh well...perhaps its just me...????
Yeah water fasting works great for vegans 😤
I would say it works the worst for vegans out of any dietary group. We don't really have the damage from the toxic animal foods to repair.
@@a.s.vanhoose1545 you can do that for mental wellness
