I went plant based 4 months back. From struggling to run for 15 mins non stop and waking up with back pain on a daily basis, I write this after finishing 33 mins non stop running this morning. Plant based eating has changed my life. It’s never to late to change folks.
GB I had been a vegetarian for the better part of my life. But diet was extremely heavy on dairy and eggs and very little on vegetables and Fruits. Gave up both, my tastes changed and loaded up on fruits veggies nuts and legumes. I simply eat Whole Foods plant based diet. I don’t watch my carbs or fat or quantity as long as it’s Whole Foods plant based eating with low oil.
@@Dudenator203 probably the dairy. most people have issues with it depending on ancestry. plus modern pasteurised dairy is a new thing. don't think most people are adapted for it. I know people can drink raw milk but have issues with normal supermarket milk
GB I realized too it was the dairy heavy diet that was preventing me from achieving my fitness goals. Most people are lactose intolerant and with factory farmed dairy, it’s getting worse. So may be going plant based was very beneficial for me, health wise and morally too.
Funny. People on ketogenic and carnivore diets also experience the same thing. And reversing type 2 diabetes and auto-immune disorders too. Can we all agree that there is more than one way to get healthy depending on your body? The important thing is stop eating high processed carbs and sugar and lose weight. That right there will cure most ailments.
I had come very close to losing my mobility at age 54. I was taking shots in my knees of Cortizone and right before Thanksgiving I bought a cane. During Thanksgiving break I started reading about the plant-based whole food diet way of eating and its health benefits. I started educating myself and on December 12, 2019, I went cold turkey, not just vegan, but vegan and whole foods only - Nothing processed and no oils. Within five days one knee stopped hurting. Within 12 days the other knee stopped hurting. I now go up and down stairs six or seven times a day, I walk my dogs three times a day, without trying I have lost 32 pounds - it’s amazing to me. So far I’ve had one coworker to change and do the same because of the effect that she sees that it’s had on me. I can honestly say I have never slept better in my life. I have never been less hungry. I have never eaten as much. I’ve never experimented as much with cooking new things and trying new foods. It literally makes me happy from the inside out.
That's GREAT!!! Good for you...Keep going on your vegan/plant based journey and have fun! I'm glad this life style worked out for you. From one vegan to another :-)
because of the incredible difficulty of getting enough nutrition/calories/balanced amino acids on a vegan diet, you may feel better in the short/medium term.. this is mostly due to fasting/calorie restriction and catabolising your own protein for your bodies base needs (which releases a lot of adrenaline making people feel energized/well in the short term) over time these deficiencies and catabolistic processes will take a severe toll on your body/mind. Please remember, short term, fine... but you NEED animal products/cholesterol and bioavailable animal forms of vitamins in your diet, there simply isn't a way around it. Veganism is damaging to your health, the environment and animal/wildlife life. Monocropping and this "trend" causes far more death and destruction than any responsible meat eater ever could. The answer is regenerative farming, primarily of grassland restoration which by definition includes animals/ruminants pastebin.com/AvVxBAxU
My son has been on a plant based diet for over 10 yrs. I have just had half my Thyroid removed due to a cancerous growth, my son put out the challenge to try plant based eating, I have been on it now for 3 weeks, I haven’t felt so good in all my life, my energy levels are fantastic, my work load at the gym is off the chart, and have dropped in center meters off the waste line, and my wife of 32 yrs said she’s hasn’t seen me this happy and positive in three decades. I’m staying on this train.
I feel horrible, sometimes, bc, even though I watched aLotta really influential videos/documentaries, I took a reeeeeeeally long time to be capable of being vegan....like, everyday vegan....all the time vegan....
I’ve been going through bad health problems for 6 months then eventually I decided to go vegan and I feel so much better now, been vegan for a month and a half now
@@jessicampbell2380 you don’t have to be so hard on yourself Everyone is different and also it kinda depends on how you are raised and what kind of people you are surrounded with What matters is you are a better human Never feel bad for it Healing takes time 💚✨
I just went vegan yesterday after watching The Game Changers and What The Health❤ Edit-it's been a full month and I'm still vegan:) Edit again-still vegan 10/8/20 Edit-still vegan lol 01/19/21 Edit...again. Been over a year and still vegan 04/26/21😁 Edit-08/11/22 still vegan🌱
Went vegetarian in November 2019 and dropped dairy, February 2020. Can’t think of anything better for my health, animal welfare, and the planet. My father, unwell at 83, started eating plant strong summer 2022, after my staying with him for three months and coaching his home care aids how to improve his diet. His torture constipation completely disappeared and his cognitive health and heart health improved greatly.
I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health. I stopped being vegan 2 years ago and I no longer suffer from depression, violent rage fits, I've built my muscle back and I'm generally and fitter, more menatlly stable and nicer person as a result of dropping veganism.
I was once someone who uttered the words “I could never go vegan because I love bacon too much” and “ignorance is bliss.” I have now been vegetarian for coming up on 7 years in April. I have been on and off vegan for a while during that time but I have now stuck to it fully since June! I absolutely love being vegan and always will be. Keep spreading the love. ✌🏼🌱
I'm so glad you've stuck with veganism. I've been vegetarian since 1996, but I could no longer deny what was happening in the dairy industry. I've been vegan a short time, but seriously I feel so much better. The bloating in my stomach is gone. My bad cholesterol went from 152 to 94 in 3 months. I'll never go back.
You aren't vegan though. You're either pretending to be vegan or you don't know what the definition is. Vegan (noun) - a person that does not eat or use animal products. Cell phones, computers, the internet, and youtube servers all contain animal products. Just by posting a comment you're actually saying "look at me, look at me, I just learned how to lie and virtue signal on the internet."
Saw “Forks Over Knives“ and changed my life. I went vegan immediately about 2 1/2 years ago and lost 35 pounds which I’ve kept off. All my numbers normalized and I look 20 years younger according to everyone who mentions it. I feel great and would never go back.
I've been vegan for 2 years now. Got rid of IBS symptoms, now I have clear skin, lost 20 pounds, have more energy and even though I'm approaching 30 people think I'm 20. It has lots of benefits and on top of that you don't have to contribute to killing and torturing billions of animals ✌
"Beyonce followed a vegan diet for 44 days" it would be great if you didn't conflate veganism with plant based dieting. This entire video is extremely confusing.
@@janieswanson2549 vegan is an ethical system, so yes the are many vegans.... none of them can yet be perfect because the world has not yet got on board. That's why vegans must also be active and talk about the lifestyle. Once animal cruelty is exposed for what it is we can actually live in alignment with our values completely. But climate change will probably get us first... which is all the more reason to go vegan!
@@MattAngiono Vegan (noun) - a person that does not eat or use animal products. If you eat or use animal products you're not vegan. Animal products exist in electronics, the internet, and youtube servers. Vegans don't exist.
@@janieswanson2549 you need to study the definition of veganism further... it's about ethics, not about performance... Not eating meat is just one part of not abusing animals... Vegans also don't support wearing leather or breeding dogs....
Been vegan for almost 2 years now & I have to say it’s amazing to see more celebrities caring about their health because they have platforms to share & people follow them! So happy to see this!!
Good luck with the nutritional deficiencies. Veganism can be good short term, especially for overweight people but in the long run it can have serious negative effects
But veganism isn't for health 😭 I mean health is important but say that veganism is because of health is anthropocentrist vegan celebrities need to talk about animal explotation and especism, not health
@@alienatedbeing7513 not really, all the necessary nutrients are found in plants, except for b12 (you have to take tablets for that) and actually all vegan people who talk abt this lifestyle always clarify that it is VERY important that you take b12
tinykoomi Yes Veganism isn’t for health, it’s clear to see. Having said that most so called vegans eat foods that cause large amounts of animal suffering. Pesticides are literally destroying whole ecosystems, all for your so called vegan crops.
Some people have a problem with celebrities promoting veganism. I don't care if the term helps boost their popularity. The fact that many celebrities are promoting the lifestyle is what matters the most to me. They're fans or followers may have interest or research veganism since their favorite celebrity promotes veganism. So instead of being bitter and negative about the situation. Don't forget the end goal is to help end human and animal suffering thanks to the irrelevant and cruel dairy/meat industry. If you are vegan, thank you for caring. Cheers for Miami.🙏🏿🌞👍🏽
Yeah but Juice Kim Kardashian is not vegan. She eats mostly plant-based meals and still sells and wears leather and leather is the skin of animals so it is not vegan
Hi my name is Nene i went vegan 40 days ago, due to early menopause. I didnt know that my body would go through the changes it did , chronic pain, inflamation,night sweats ,PH imbalance, serious weight gain. This is a personal journey for me. I can admit that I do feel better in my body.
bob rew all the centenarians scientists have studied grew their own food and that’s why I believe they lived so long. A lot of the microbes on veg have a very short shelf life so you can’t beat a bit of homegrown.
@@titiung more ppl are malnourished eating meat than being vegan. Plantbased is not a malnourished diet.. its the person who is doing it incorrectly are malnourished.
Absolutely! But you can see it in this perspective as well: all vegans have a plant based diet, so they follow a vegan diet, not bc is a diet, but bc veganism is in your diet, clothing, entertainment
I became vegan after my daughter showed me the movie what the health. She did it not only because she cares about animals and wildlife, she also did it because she loves and cares about me. When I use to go into the supermarket, I use to skip pass the produce section and go to the meat section. Now I spend more time with all those beautiful fruit andvegetables. So many dishes can be made and enjoyed without harming your body. I am vegan and I am loving it.
I’ve only been vegan for 37 days but I can already tell a huge difference. Definitely with my energy. I used to be so tired during the day. I’m also on a consistent running schedule, plan to get back into rock climbing, coming up in 2 years sober in October, and haven’t had a cigarette in 42 days. I didn’t do all these things at once. Each change has been inspired by the next. - My diet is still a journey and I’m leaning to be more mindful about paying attention to ALL the stuff that is added to my food. It’s a process. I’m having mercy on myself. I cannot wait to continue to see the positive results.
I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health. For about a year I felt healthier but, then it started taking a serious toll. I stopped being vegan 2 years ago and I no longer suffer from depression, violent rage fits, I have energy, I've built my muscle back and I'm generally and fitter, more menatlly stable and nicer person as a result of dropping veganism.
I was a big meat lover and turned vegan overnight with my vegetarian husband five years ago. We were both sixty five. Better late than never. I haven't really lost much weight but my body feels clean. Most of all I found my compassion and now see the absurdity of polluting our bodies with the dead flesh of other animals. They have as much right to live as we do.
@Leslie Gibbons Why exactly does human life come before animal life though? What makes us so special that we should have a right to exploit another species and treat it as a food product? That they should give up their whole life so we can have one 20-minute meal? Unfortunately humane treatment is the last thing most animals get in factory farming.
@Leslie Gibbons I never said animal life should come before human life. I think they should be equally important and respected. Of course I would eat an animal if it was up to survival but it never has been and I doubt that is the case for many people in the western world these days so it feels like a bit of a moot point. As long as I can survive without harming animals, I want to do that. And you're right, not all animals are factory farmed. Vast majority is though. Since you're for humane treatment of animals, I'm assuming you never eat animals that come from factory farms? If so, kudos for you, and I mean that.
@Leslie Gibbons Yes and I've been trying to ask WHY exactly you think they are not equally important and I haven't really gotten an answer. Because they are not the same species as us? There are also loads of people whose health has improved since dropping animal products. What works for one person might not work for others.
After watching "What the Health" and "Game Changers" I had wanted to change to veganism for a while but I always had the excuse that I wasn't going to have the discipline to stick to it because I couldn't afford it and I lived in a house full of meat eaters. Then one day I just changed to veganism and it has been the easiest thing I have ever done in my life. I made the change mostly for my health but I have always been an animal lover and I love that my lifestyle is now in line with my ethics.
Most people doesn't realise that veganism promotes deforestation in other parts of the world, Indonesia for example, or el chaco in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. Also, promoting boycott to the industry only affect the smaller producers the ones the breed specific breeds (many of them heritage breeds) and pastured, this includes pigs, cows, poultry of many types and so on, ultimately this promotes the extinction of breeds that can thrive in natural conditions.
don't do it buddy. it's actually a clever scam to sell you garbage plant food with no real nutritional value whatsoever. The markup on animal foods aren't as high. Vegan food is almost always very or more processed. Plant vitamins have extremely low absorbtion rates. like 1/30th of the vitamin A / betacarotine in a carrot actually gets converted into a form of vitamin A you can use. Veganism is terrible and most people quit ( for a reason ) you'll feel good for a few months, a year maybe. then you will start to degenerate because of lacking vitamins. There are over 50 minerals and nutrients you can't adequately get from eating plants. Probably, you wont believe me because you trust big media more than some dude on the internet, right. Everyone says plants are healthy! there even are (chuckle) studies proving it! (lmao) anyway once you have suffered a few years on veganism with bloating, gut issues and brain fog maybe you will remember this post and eat a big steak. Preferably completely raw. Then you will feel for yourself instantly... you're systems need meat to optimally function. Take care
I was vegetarian off and on for years. Then I watched the game changer on TH-cam and became instantly vegan. Stopped wearing anything made from an animal including silk. Stopped using products that tested on animals and gave up all food that came from an animal including honey. It definitely was a game changer for me and I have never been happier. Just knowing that I’m not hurting an animal is enough for me but it’s an added bonus the world is better for it.
@Vegan Zombie in addition to all the above..I can get out of bed in the morning and stand up straight with no pain. Sleep better, no migraines, less inflammation. Working on switching to who,e food plant based and already see less pain in my joints from arthritis. Since I gave up sugar my RLS is way better.
I'm 16 and I am a vegan and I'm so happy, proud of myself. I am a vegan cuz I care about my healthy, I am vegan cuz I care about enveriment and the most important thing is I am a vegan cuz I do think that animals are so incredibley important and I do respect love them🖤🙏🏿🖤

i went plant based for my own health, i am not strictly vegan but haven’t eaten animals for 6 years. i’ve never had the flu since then (not getting flu shots either). i feel happier, less stressed and less angry. i wanna transition to completely vegan this year, working on it.
I've never had the flu my entire life, and never had a flu shot either. Not when I was vegetarian, not when I was vegan, and not when I was omnivore. Not catching influenza is irrelevant to diet, more down to hygiene and exposure. PS. vegetarian / vegan nearly killed me, be bloody careful.
great stuff. and if you ever get sick or dont like the feeling you can always go back to eating a variety of whole foods again like fruits ,vegetables, fats,meats,seafood ect and you will start feeling better again.
@@salamjihad3449 completely agree… you can always revert back… give it a try. There’s no single solution in life. If you are meant to eat meat you are meant to eat meat.
@@ErtanB0B I DIDNT MEAN THAT ANYONE WAS "MEANT" TO EAT ANYTHING. IM JUST SAYIING THAT A VARIETY IS BEST . NOT JUST MEAT BUT EVERYTHING. HUMANS ARE VERY ADAPTABLE AND CAN LIVE ON JUST VEGETABLES IF FORCED TO . AND CAN LIVE ON JUST MEAT IF FORCED TO ALSO.. NOBODY WAS MEANT TO EAT JUST ONE THING.
never felt better, helped a dozen friends and family members around me make the transition. It cured 3 of them of chronique diseases including my mum’s 30 years hypertension in only 6 days on a plant based diet. After 2 weeks a friend cut his insulin in half. “Not your mum, not your milk”, powerful statement.
I’m a new vegan. I’ve been vegan for nearly 3 weeks so far and I feel so lighter and cleaner. All my stomach cramps and pain are gone, my energy varies from day to day because of my lack of sleep, but I feel so much better than before.
And then after the first couple months or so it will go downhill. There are at least 15 nutrients exclusive to animal products and unless you're micromanaging your diet you're probably missing out on way more than that. If you start experiencing low energy or brain fog or any of the dozens of other symptoms of veganism please just eat some eggs, that's a good middle ground.
That "lighter" will continue. I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health. I stopped being vegan 2 years ago and I no longer suffer from depression, violent rage fits, I've built my muscle back and I'm generally and fitter, more menatlly stable and nicer person as a result of dropping veganism.
Been vegetarian for over 7 years and I feel clean. My conscience is clean. My aches and pains went away. There is so much you can eat.its not just a piece of lettuce like some people think. I sleep well. Health is really good. I rarely get sick and if I do I bounce back really fast. It's refreshing
I changed my diet 4 years ago to a vegan diet. I was always athletic and worked out 6 days a week. My cholesterol was always high so I decided to change my diet instead of starting medication. What a difference! My cholesterol is normal now and I've never felt better. I wish more people would educate themselves and heal their bodies and the planet. Be kind to yourself and to all the animals that suffer and are tortured due to factory farming.
You could have become healthy on a proper omnivore diet too. "Be kind to yourself and to all the animals that suffer and are tortured due to factory farming." And there it is.... You do realize the electronic device you used to comment, the internet, and youtube servers all contain animal products from the same animals in those factory farms right?
If you cut processed foods, sugars, unhealthy oils etc, and start eating more fruits and vegetables, you would probably feel a lot better anyways, even if you keep meat in your diet. And I cant 100% say that meat is healthy or meat is unhealthy, but what I know is you'll become muscular and strong wayyy easier and faster if you eat meat... And we need our muscles so..
It's nice to see how they had different journeys ! I'm plant-based in a family that's not, with friends that aren't and I thought I would not be able to stay on this diet because of that... turns out this yes I can and I'm proud of myself !!!
Now that is powerful, great respect to you! A mixture of various choices in my environment, not many vegans.. but the society is slowly moving towards more plant-based, how lovely.
Most people who go vegan quit, and usually because of health. Plenty of informtion out there on ex vegans and what to watch out for if you look for it. Seek a BALANCED view, because if your body can't handle it, it can get VERY serious very quickly. You owe it to yourself, and get your B12 levels checked every year.
@@themudpit621 You're right. You can make you sick on plant based diet if you choose the wrong food. All that crap fake meats, fake cheeses and white flours. Choose vegetables, potatoes, whole grains, fruits, legumes and a few nuts and seeds, avoid oil, drink water and supplement in B12. That's the way.
So awesome to see so many celebrities going vegan and sharing their journeys. I finally made the connection back in late 2010 and decided to give up meat for my New Year's resolution that year. Let me just say, it was the only NY's resolution I've EVER kept... because it was the easiest! People often tell me that I must have great willpower to which I respond, I actually have LOUSY willpower but thankfully being vegan doesn't require willpower. It only requires an open heart and mind to see reality... animals are NOT food, they are living beings that---like us---deserve to live their lives. Once you understand that, living vegan is simple and oh so rewarding. Peace & love!
I have been Vegan for 2 years now. I did it cold Turkey. Over night. I did it for spiritual reasons at first but the more research I did I decided that I am definitely an ethical Vegan. I have my daughter to thank for showing me the right road to take. She has been Vegan 4 years. I love this lifestyle. Knowledge is power and I feel so powerful right now
Do more research. You're not vegan. Specifically research the definition of vegan. Vegan (noun) - a person that doesn't eat or use animal products. The electronic device, the internet, and youtube servers you used just to make this comment all contain animal products. Now you are more educated that you have been in 2 years about what a vegan is. Congrats you can stop lying on the internet.
@@janieswanson2549 if that's the case than every Vegan youtuber isn't vegan. I am Vegan I do not consume any animal products or use anything made from animal. And to be honest it's people like you that make being Vegan. I live my life the best way I can I try not to cause shame to any living thing. But in this day and age to say someone isn't vegan because they use the internet or have a smart phone is absolutely ridiculous. I appreciate your comment but I have done and continue to do research into Veganism. Being Vegan mean to do ur best not cause knowing harm to any Sentiment creature. It's not about being Absolutely perfect.
@@janieswanson2549 so you know I never said I was perfect but the world needs all the imperfect Vegans it can get rather than no vegan. I also do my best not to judge.
@Vegan Zombie So true. Most vegans go back to eating meat after a few years when their health breaks down. Those that continue to make YT videos are often cheating behinds the scenes. Those who hold out the longest have sunken eyes, dry skin and pale face.
Went plant based for my health. Had incredible improvements in GERD. Then I watched Dominion now I am vegan for the animals and forever. Blessings to you all, please go vegan ❤️
great stuff. and if you ever get sick or dont like the feeling you can always go back to eating a variety of whole foods again like fruits ,vegetables, fats,meats,seafood ect and you will start feeling better again.
Also went vegan for health reasons mostly, and the environment. My symptoms are gone, my skin has cleared, lost 10 kg/20 pounds and still gained muscles, I sleep better and have way more energy. Now I do it for the animals too. The things they go through for a person to have a slice of ham on their sandwich are unimaginable. I can't finish most of videos or documentaries about factory farming it's so bad.
If Jesus ate meat well guess what I will eat meat. Being a vegan doesn’t mean you will be healthy. Vodka is vegan, Tequila is vegan, French fries is vegan. My thing is Veganism is AMAZING don’t get me wrong; but eating a WELL balanced diet is just as AMAZING. Please do not follow the “trend”. I am absolutely AGAINST the treatment and cruelty towards animal. For anyone who is going to come for me, I eat plant based everyday except on Sunday.

Exodus 12: 7-8 7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the jtwo doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. 8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with kunleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Your grumbling is not wagainst us but against the Lord.” Luke 24: 41-43 41 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate before them. Matthew14: 19-20 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, jhe looked up to heaven and ksaid a blessing.

I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’ ” Mark 7:19 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
If Jesus was alive today, having plenty of vegan options like we do, he would not choose to be cruel. Jesus lived thousands of years ago ... cultures back then were only surviving as best they could. What people did in the past in a survival situation isn’t a justification for what we do today.

Lots animal eat each other do you call that cruelty no. So please stop.
@@om-boi and hun just because you are Vegan doesn't mean you love animals more true people who eat me so please stop being so smug about it. And if you are going to come up with something that Jesus world do or say; quote it from the bible do not just come up with your own conclusion.
I went vegan at the age of 54 - which was 4 years ago. I have so much more energy, lost around 20 pounds and never felt better in my entire life. In my philosophy I am similar to Lewis Hamilton and cannot imagine going back to eating any animal based products, not even ice cream (read my labels, yeah). Torturing animals just so people can eat them is now unimaginable to me. I wish, I had changed my diet earlier.
I am a vegan and I would like to say that the resistance often comes because people feel that they have to be on one side or the other. But that isn't true. an idea is to just have a vegan day twice a week and see how you feel. Perhaps you will reduce it to 1 day a week or up it to 6 days and have a cheat day. Either way adding more plant-based foods will benefit you. You don't have to be 'vegan' to get some benefits is what I am saying, just adding 1 day a week can help. Of course, fully plant-based is probably better than not, but eating 14% more plant-based (1 day a week) is better than 100% non-plant based. Of course, this is about you personally and your health, it doesn't even get into the environmental benefits or animal benefits. Additionally, fellow vegans let's share the message without judgment, this isn't about shaming people. We all have the right to choose and that shouldn't be met with judgment. I cringe when I hear vegans say other people's food is disgusting, let's educate and elevate not judge. Let people make up their own minds once they have the facts.
You were wrong in your first four words. You're not vegan. You used animal products just to post this comment. Vegan (noun) - a person that does not eat or use animal products. Cell phones, computers, the internet, youtube servers are all made with animal products. Is someone giving out virtue signaling medals?
This is true if you're going for plant based, but vegan implies against animal abuse, so it's an all or nothing kind of thing.... at least as is practically possible.... When a vegan says meat disgusts them, it's because they see the suffering that was caused and feel for the animal.... it is disgusting when you consider it from the animals perspective! Eggs are disgusting because they come out the asshole of a chicken... Who likes ass rubbed on their food? Every notice the similarity between the smell of eggs and farts.... You should check out some Paul Bashir or Joey carbstrong videos on youtube! Most effective vegan perspective I've found!
I was pescatarian for a year and a half before going full vegan this past December. Best decision of my life. Never thought I would love veggies this much
Enjoy your slow steady inexorable decline as you ironically cannibalize your own bodies stores of animal products, hope you learn before your teeth enamel gets skivved away.

Vegan for 1 month now, no longer suffering from Hayfever! :) Me too it was after I watched the Game Changers, I have been vegetarian and flexitarian for years but always hesitated to give up dairy and eggs. I have been eating a lot and after 4 weeks lost a half inch around the waistline without changing anything else.
@@diyapatel3286 Could be dairy, eggs, nuts, etc causing flare ups. Those are the most common. Avoiding canola, soy, corn, vegetable oils can help as well.
Beyoncé didn’t follow a “Vegan” diet! And hasn’t done so “several times” it’s nonsense! Being Vegan is NOT a diet, that would be; Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB). Being Vegan 🌱 is not something that you do for a while and then put it down! How ridiculous! It is an ethical stance, a worldview, a complete lifestyle that advocates for the equality and rights of innocent, sentient animals and has nothing to do with health per se. There is plenty of unhealthy “Vegan” processed rubbish that you can eat, so to promote “Veganism” as a healthy diet doesn’t make a lot of sense and is factually incorrect.
@Leslie Gibbons people on plant based diets have been shown to live longer, healthier lives. But keep lying to yourself. You prove vegans points by your need to lie to yourself to feel better about consuming meat and dairy products all on your own. You know it's wrong but instead of admit it you lie to yourself and others.
it really bugs me when they do this. Same as evangelicals who claim that someone is a "reformed" atheist. If you were an atheist, then started believing in a higher power without any evidence of its existence, then you were never really an atheist to begin with.
Well, diet is really just what a person eats on a regular basis. The word diet is often used incorrectly to reference a period of eating x and then going back to y, but it’s an incorrect usage. Saying vegan diet is correct. It means eating vegan.
I've been vegetarian for 13 years and fully vegan for a few months. I feel better than I've felt in a long time. It helped with my depression, weight, energy, and much more. I'm in my 30s and just started running. That's something I never thought I'd be able to do since I have hypothyroidism and used to get tired really quickly. I have the energy I did as a kid and it's only getting better every day.
I’m slowly transitioning to plant base. Currently I’m doing it on the weekdays and it’s been pretty good so far! 4 months in! I hope I can eventually do it everyday
I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health. I stopped being vegan 2 years ago and I no longer suffer from depression, violent rage fits, I've built my muscle back and I'm generally and fitter, more menatlly stable and nicer person as a result of dropping veganism.
Short term it might be good for you but every single long term vegan i know including myself is suffering from depression and other physical symptoms you dont want to have.
That's weird because I have only seen the opposite, including myself with long term plant based eating. Vegan diet is for the animals and doesn't mean a healthy diet by any means, however plant based eating is for nutrition. Two very different diets.
watch earthlings you'll go vegan so much quicker... and the reward if you want it is being more spiritually awakened and you'll have an empowered 3rd eye if you want with meditation... theres so many pluses for going vegan.!
It doesn't make sense to say that you love animals and then use them to post comments on youtube. Oh wait.....maybe you didn't know electronics, the internet, and youtube servers all contained animal products from the same animals normal people eat. At least now you know so you can stop virtue signaling.
Veganism is damaging to your health, the environment and animal/wildlife life. Monocropping and this "trend" causes far more death and destruction than any responsible meat eater ever could. The answer is regenerative farming, primarily of grassland restoration which by definition includes animals/ruminants pastebin.com/AvVxBAxU
So inspirational! I love this positive message & how the world is waking up & making changes for the better. For us, for the animals, & for the planet.
I remember meeting a woman when I was a child, she ate no meat, fish, cheese, butter or eggs. wow, I thought she was a saint and wished with all my heart to be like her. The seed was planted. As an adult I found it very difficult to touch raw meat and eventually became vegetarian.. that lasted 15 years then I migrated and for my convenience started eating meat again. That went on for about 7 years, but more and more touching and smelling dead flesh was getting to me… plus I was feeling lousy..horrid thoughts in my head… so low energy. One Sunday morning 6.5 years ago I checked out youtube and someone had posted a link called Earthlings, I thought it was about ET’s so I clicked on it. To my horror it was about animals being cruelly slaughtered for our culinary lust. First impulse was to turn it off… far to sensitive to look at that cruelty, but a loud voice in my head screamed, watch it…so I hid my face and looked and cried like a baby, I was inconsolable. That very hour I dumped everything in my fridge and cupboards with meat and dairy into the garbage. Instant 🌱 vegan . I cried for two weeks. That was 6 1/2 years ago..and I have never felt better. The dark thoughts left, and my health has improved greatly…These animals are sentient beings with children and emotions.
Janie Swanson go get yourself a hobby or hey for once educate yourself on veganism and maybe try to find good arguments against it than spreading hate on the internet :) thanks
@@lelesophie Vegans can't eat or use animal products. The internet is made with animal products. Anyone using the internet is not vegan. Vegan (noun) - a person that does not eat or use animal products. Veganism - a doctrine about living life without exploiting animals. Veganism is not the definition of vegan. Congrats. You are now educated so you don't have to make such delusional comments about me getting educated.
Janie Swanson well but the thing isn’t it better to do something than doing nothing? I think most vegans know that being a 100% vegan is almost not accomplishable- but doing the most you can is in my opinion enough to call yourself a vegan (eg not eating animal products, not using them and just be generally more awared of your environment and how to take care of it in the most sustainable way)
Vegan activist since 2007. I had slowly but surely made every connection to the lifestyle since then. I'm also an artist, so I have made my truth through such. I never have back then nor now thought of veganism as a fad, just something that aligns with my morals as well as my love for animals. Kudos to those celebrities who are willing to give it a shot. Greetings from Chicago! 🌱✌️💜
You're not vegan. That is easily proven. You should stop lying for likes on the internet. Your morals are quite bad if you think lying about loving animals is a good thing.
@@janieswanson2549 hate to tell you this but I didn't go vegan bc of a celebrity. So that is completely BS if you think that. Not buying it one bit. I went vegan because of my middle school teacher.
@@art.of.verser It took you 10 months to come up with that reply? Congrats I guess. "hate to tell you this but I didn't go vegan bc of a celebrity." I know. You're not vegan. "So that is completely BS if you think that. " I don't. Didn't you read the first three words of my comment? "You're not vegan." "I went vegan because of my middle school teacher." You started lying about being vegan because of your teacher? Okay? How is that relevant. You literally use animal products. You're not vegan. You're just another liar playing pretend.
I wasn't lying then nor am I lying now. You didn't read my original comment clearly. You. Don't. Know. Anything. About. My. Life. Oh, anyways, make that ELEVEN months for me to reply. I'm still vegan. Never stopped. So don't assume you know everything.
@@art.of.verser "I wasn't lying then nor am I lying now." Then you're ignorant. "You didn't read my original comment clearly." I did. "You. Don't. Know. Anything. About. My. Life."

Smart phones, computers, routers, and servers are used every time you make a comment here needlessly. They are all made with animal products. "Oh, anyways, make that ELEVEN months for me to reply." Okay... "I'm still vegan." You use animal products. You're not vegan. "Never stopped." You never stopped using animal products. Thanks for finally agreeing with me. "So don't assume you know everything." I don't need to know everything to see you're replying to me needlessly using animal products.

Take another 10 months or so to think your way out of your lies and ignorance.
When I went Vegan I dipped 32 pounds in the first month of eating this way and I never looked back again. I just keep going in Sept 2017. I’m happy I did.
You cut down junk food tha contain fast carbs and seed oils, and that is why you lost weight. Had you eaten low carb nutrient dense animal foods, your weight would have dropped faster and you would have gotten more essential nutrients.
I've been vegan since three years and honestly I had a real glow up after that my energy level started increasing . At the top of all it Made feel better 😌 I wake up peacefully everyday
When I made the connection between animals and meat and dairy, I couldn't eat one more piece. This was 8 years ago and I promote my lifestyle to everyone.. Feel bad for those that still don't get it!
@@Lso895 constipation is pain and discomfort, not infrequent bowel movements. Body can’t absorb vegan foods and therefore passes quickly and wastefully.
Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that Snoop Dog/Dunkin Donuts served beyond meat sausages to “unsuspecting” customers meaning the customers had no idea what they were getting?
I became vegan 3 months ago, I was sick of supporting the system that made these animals life like hell!!! I have suffered from hormonal acne for several years! the results started to show from the first week, and I will never go back. vegan lifestyle have changed my life, It’s never to late to change.
One day, i hear how the animals scream in the slaughterhouse and same day i became vegan!!! Feeling great.Not hurting any innocent animal over 12 years 🌱🌱🌱
@@mmear1683 By eating animals you kill more insects than vegan because there is a large amount of plants is fed to livestock animals so they can have fat. So a vegan kills way more less insects than meat eaters do.
@@GauravKumar-ed2um The initial commenter said they were not hurting *any* animals. Out of curiosity, are you fine when people only eating less meat instead of going full vegetarian?
That VIBRATIONS song by Black Eyed Peas is FIRE!! Here are some of the lyrics: "You eat the yellow tail, I'mma eat the plant-based. I ain't chewing on no food, with two eyes and a face" LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!!
Promoting vegetables doesn't make you spiritual, but no tomato will be spared, plenty of broccolis, corn, and corn chowder for the children, tastes like a farm, and delicious. I am vegan for one year and still aren't vegan yet, but I see where you're coming from.
@Emi. Personally I'm not sure if raw is the way to(Mebye it is for you I don't know)go but major props to what you're doing for the animals!!It's not just about food though!Don't forget about animal testing,pounds/"shelters"that kill animals, leather,fur,mink,silk,wool,etc.....,It might even be in toliet paper and toothpaste and toothbrushs for all we know((Don't worry though you can get specially vegan toothbrushs and toothpaste just look it up!Easy pezy!((And I'm not for sure but I think you can get specially vegan toliet paper too!!Cheers and good luck!!!
I grew up eating meat drinking cows milk and loving eggs! 4 weeks ago I had a lymph node removed which has turned out to be lymphoma! after 4 weeks soul searching and a lot of reading, I have made the switch to a vegan, mostly raw, eating plan. I'm finding it surprisingly easy! I have also woke to the extreme damage that the meat and dairy industries are doing to our planet!!! in just 4 weeks my skin is looking better, my energy levels are up, my spirits are up, and my pre-diabetic status has been reversed! I'm going to continue down this path and, hopefully, it will also have a positive impact on my Lymphoma? only time will tell, but for now I feel great!
I’ve been vegan for four years now and honestly I don’t know how I ate as much cheese as I used to. Legit I was the person who would get stuffed crust and extra extra cheese on pizza. If I see it now with all the greese pooling ontop of Pizza it makes me nauseous tbh. My migraines went away. I lost weight, I sleep better, and I’m much much happier now. Wouldn’t change it for anything.
I used to be vegan, it never helped my health. It continued to worsen over time until I was sick, weak, finally after eating meat based im feeling revived and reversing health conditions that veganism did nothing for.
@G well I think a pet like a dog is okay. They help protect a home and can be very uplifting to a person during a hard time. They're very smart and loyal. I do think people naturally want a pet because they instinctively want something to take care of (like a child)
It’s not for everyone, in fact it’s probably the most energy depleting diet, short of starving yourself. It’s more of a statement than a viable health alternative, which should be obvious.
@G I literally dont even cuddle with my dogs but I do with humans... I already know that humans forced evolution on dogs through selective breeding but like tiny dogs for example need people and could never fend for themselves in the wild so people inevitably take them in. If you dont like it then dont have pets but it's something people do.
I’m glad to hear that Steve Hardy changed his diet to vegan as the Standard American Diet is especially deadly for Black people. 2 of my best friends have been Black, and over time so much, m first friend died of her Sickle Cell disease. My current friend got me interested in veganism, and the change helped me get out of a wheelchair at age 60., and walking daily, doing my 10,000 steps. No more 200 lbs., 8 lbs. lighter and wearing a size 4 in jeans. Much better life! No more arthritis, asthma, eczema, high load pressure of cholesterol. I am a 71 year young senior taking no meds. The meds the doctors give for these lifestyle diseases never get one well, it makes more for the doctor and slowly poisons us. My mom and sister both died of breast cancer, my dad and grandmother of Alzheimer’s, mom had 2 hip replacements, her sister has both knees replaced, my aunt’s daughter-in-law got knees replaced too. No blood relation, of course, but the cause of all these health disasters was the food! I have been saved from so much.
Btw ppl who don't know: Plant-based is a diet Veganism is a lifestyle. If you cant tell the difference between the two still, please look up what lifestyle means.
I've been vegan for 10 years now and it's been the most wonderful years. I searched for years to find the right eating lifestyle and purely by circumstances (TMI for this comment) I became vegan and at first, a raw vegan. I love it and will always be, for me and for the beautiful animals that I love.
I just went Vegan at the end of Apr 2020. I mostly changed my diet due to the pandemic, since Covid came from animals I decided I no longer wanted to eat meat. I was am super happy with my decision, and now I love animals even more. I want to purchase a home with a big back yard so I can adopt/save farm animals :)
You don't care about the celebrities and yet you clicked on the video and made an effort to make a comment. This video is not made for people like you who don't care about what celebrities are vegan. Next time try to just ignoring it.
@Frosty Ember there are a lot if vegans that don't eat healthily. As many as there are meat eaters with unhealthy diets. Anyone can be unhealthy no matter which diet they choose. Speaking for myself. I follow a plant based diet. I hardly eat any junk food. I aim for 10/15 different plants a day. Try do do an 80% plant 20% other per day. As a rough guide. I'm not obsessed. I have never felt better. More energy, and more alert mentally. Less pain in my joints. I feel happier too. Maybe watch game changers, it has some useful info if you're into your fitness. I hope that's useful. :)
My vegan story: went plant based for health, stayed for vegan. Been vegetarian/vegan for over a month now and feeling great. The thought of eating meat is no longer satisfying
I made the change when my doctor told me I had high Cholesterol. I was always a healthy eater. Cooked at home. Had vegetables, fruit, etc. I also had hormone issues and thyroid problems. Took medicine. Stomach problems....a lot. As soon as I took meat out, I felt better. There’s something there.
I was a vegetarian (not vegan) for 20 years and then I went back to eating meat and my health increased tremendously. My energy increased, physical and mental, anxiety and effects of stress decreased etc etc. As a vegatarian I took extra supplements like vitamins, minerals and spirulina (algae), but in the end I realized that as a vegan or vegetarian you are constantly trying to replace the missing nutrients from meat and it actually doesn't work because it needs to be consumed in a bio available form (a.k.a meat) and there are things like anti nutrients in so many greens that you are not often told about which actually stop you from absorbing the nutrients, as a part of the plants defense to survive in nature. Greens and fruit are nutrient deficient or low in nutrients in most nutrients everything but vitamin C. If you don't believe that, look at the nutritional content in any meat compared to any vegan alternative. It's not environment friendly either. Where do you think those fruits and greens come from in the winter? They are grown half-way across the planet, packages in plastic and flown over the oceans! I lived it for 20 years and I don't even want to imagine what that would have been like as a vegan. ALSO... several of the "vegans" in this video are no longer vegan, and that is for a good reason. Vegans feel great for the first months, year of couple of years or more, then when the body has taken all there is from the body stored resources, the illnesses and problems start and all the vegans will tell you that you are just "doing it wrong". Same story EVERY time. I'm not anti vegan because it's noble to think of the animals, but I am against promoting lies that veganism is healthy, because it is not! I just want to help you so that you don't have to go through a horrible time and instead save your health and perhaps many precious years. Realize that many (most) of the big vegan channels on youtube are paid influencers for vegan brands. Same in most social media etc. They are trying to SELL you veganism. IF you don't believe what I'm saying, research it for yourself. Don't take my or anyone else's word for it!
@crow i am 12 years on that path. So, what i see when you write, is that you have an intense need for attention and to justify your insensitivity towards animal cruelty by saying weird facts that don't comply with reality and truth. And i feel pity for you. Do some research with your low vibration self and own your guilt. I wish for you to grow and raise your consciousness and vibrations.
@@natasatasa313 12 years. Yeah I had 20. It is typical spiritual people who think they are even more spiritual because of what they eat ("spiritual ego"), to tell others that they are of low vibration etc. I've done it too, but I didn't know any better then. I've seen it so much, you have no idea. One day you will see that what I said is true, but then you will probably have forgotten about this conversation and right now there is probably not a single thought in your mind that I could actually be right. You'll have to discover it yourself. Hopefully you'll do it sooner than I did (20 years). Before that I would have said exactly what you are saying to me now. Concerning spirituality and all that, I've continued to meditate since I started eating meat and I've had the best spiritual experiences of my life since then. Nothing got worse. Everything got batter. Hard to believe, I'm sure. Take care.
It took me six year to stop eating meat i was so heavy diabetes high cholesterol high blood pressure for the past year I been focus on plant base food is my life style lost 50 pounds no more meds at 61 I feel great love it the way I love and respect my fellow creaters
Veganism is not practiced by any stone age tribal society or individual tribe anywhere ever in all history including up to the present day. Even Indian food is chock full of clarified butter to enable digestion, are 1000+ million Indians wrong and you're right...??
Veldtian1 no Stone Age tribal society or individual tribe anywhere has ever driven cars, used electricity, or fly in airplanes either, what the hell is your point? Edit: Plant based diets have existed since ancient times. Ever heard of Pythagoras?
I started my journey 6 months ago, now I'm down 30 lbs and I've got skin that literally glows. The cost, something that kept me from switching earlier, has come way down for vegan items. Making it far easier on the wallet too.
I've had an on and off relationship with Vegetarianism since I was a teen. I didn't think that animal products outside of meat would harm the animal, but I decided to go Vegan as a 30-day challenge on October 14th 2019 to see if my autoimmune & Heart Disease symptoms would subside. I decided on day 3 after feeling a boost of energy, cleared sinuses, and a ton of reading about animal cruelty, that I'd never turn back. At 42, I'm feeling physically & morally the best I have in my life. Grateful for publications & social media like this that give a voice to the gentle beings that can't speak for themselves. Thank you❤
I suggest base it on your health. every new diet leaves people feeling good at first. often people tend to drop processed food when they switch diets and that tends to be what boosts them. fyi people are now curing their auto immune diseases with ketogenic and carnivore diet, people that have tried all the other diet like plant based.
Per the Dr, the ketogenic diet is what caused me to have a Heart Attack, resulting in Heart Disease. When I was a Vegetarian, I didn't know that I was still aiding in animals being tortured & tormented. This isn't just a diet for me.
I am on a carnivore diet. I lost 50 pounds in two years. I took 3 walks today. Good for me. I was vegetarian for four years and it really fkd with my brain. Oh yeah, I am 60 years old.
I have 2 autoimmune diseases and was told to cut out gluten, dairy and soy or I was going to develop cancer. I stopped eating all that for a month and then decided to go fully vegan. Since I've already cut out those things, it wasn't very hard to cut out meat and animal products.
wow the end clip, when he said his teeth hit the bone and his mind said "dead bird" very powerful, shows how desensitized we all are. for me, it was seeing the veins in chicken lol
And now Miley eats fish.... claiming "brain issues" that's the problem with putting celebs front and center with the vegan movement. Ive been vegan for 15 years... yeah no "brain" issues.
You realize that everyone is different and will therefore have different reactions to certain diets. I'm native american from the apache tribe who were mainly hunters. Their diet was centered around meat. I'm vegetarian for religious reasons but I've needed to take supplements because it's had an effect on my health due to my genetics. Not everyone can easily cut out foods especially if their culture has a history of being dependent on it. Educate yourself.
@@eternallaurum maybe you need to EDUCATE YOURSELF (eye roll on how overused this statement is with folks trying to passive aggressively "teach you.") to the fact that this lady was doing a bunch of drugs including hallucinogens and copious amounts of alcohol... but nah, it's the lack of fish that's impacting her central nervous system.
I've always been a meat eater, but am feeling very drawn towards veganism. It just feels right. Tried going vegan several years back just for health reasons, but I didn't ease myself into it and only lasted month. This time, I'm trying to ease myself into it with small changes to start. I have to do this.
Ashley Strickland I could never stick with it just for my health. When I added in compassion for animals and saving the planet it became the only thing I can do, what I must do. I am not typically a woman with strong will, but I have been 100% vegan 5 years.
Vegetarian nearly killed me. I can't imagine what vegan does to genotypes like mine, although i've heard plenty of horror stories. Listen to your parents, don't play with your food.
I'm proud to say I've been vegan now for almost five months. In return my joints feel better, mind clearer, and just as strong as ever. Went from 280 down to 250. Also increased energy levels are through the roof!!! 💯
These comments here, though... Anyway, well done and keep it going. I've been a vegan myself for about 3 years now and am almost just excited about it as the day I started
Vegetarian 40+ years. Vegan 15+ years. Nearly 66 years old. No health issues, no medications. Can rock a yoga class and frequently walk 12-16 miles in a day for fun. But most importantly, my conscience is clear and my soul sits right in my body.
Shreya Bhat idk if you don’t understand this but if everyone was vegan there would be waaaay to many animals and no food for them sooo nope not goin vegan
@@jonah_boi__9181 that's the most common misconception. You have to understand that we breed animals in factories using artificial insemination. They won't exist in such high numbers if not for humans. Also the world is not going vegan overnight. If you don't buy animal products, you are decreasing the demand for animal breeding. So yeah it's all in our hands.
He does a lot for his acting career. As the joker, he had to lose A LOT of weight. And that’s stressful for anyone to have to starve yourself. Stress increases aging , so no it’s not because he’s vegan it’s because he plays extreme roles for his career.
It's a long journey, I myself had a lot of information thrown at me and while thinking about change, however, I didn't. Due to my cousin nagging and persistence, I actually booked to watch "What the Health" when it was first released. Watched it July 26 2017, stopped consuming animal products 27 July 2017 and haven't looked back. We all have a duty of care, to protect the innocent (animals & children) the planet and our own health, #Livekindly, love your work. #Vegan4Life
I'm trying to be vegan .. Searched on youtube on why people go vegan but most of the videos showed 'why i'm no longer vegan' .. For me being vegan is depends to ourself, not to brag on anything,not to condemn non-vegan .. I'm not vegan yet but seeing people hating on vegan, makes me feels annoyed .. Let people choose what they want to be as long they're happy & healthy.
I’ll be at 5 years in a month. I am over 50 pounds lighter (230 to 175ish now) but improvements in my physical health is the smallest difference in my life. The growth in my connection to the planet and myself has been incredible. I feel like my spirituality has been on steroids these past few years. Living in alignment with my values and my heart has unlocked parts of this experience that I couldn’t have even imagined. Vegan primarily for the animals but I now fully see that it’s all connected. Animal welfare, my health and the planet of the health desire alignment. Peace n love :)
When I went vegan 39 years ago we didn't have so many books, documentaries, and TH-cam channels like LIVEKINDLY. No faux meats and nut milks, only tofu and soy milk. There's really no good reasons not to go vegan today
GB “our ancestors did it, so therefore it’s okay for us to do it” - you know that same line of thinking justifies slavery right? Humans practiced enslavement for thousands of years, but we look back on it with disgust. I imagine the same will be said for our treatment of animals. Animal enslavement is not necessary and there is so much needless suffering in the animal agriculture industry.
I was vegan for 10 years. Those were the most unhealthy/miserable years of my life. Now that I am strictly carnivore no more hypoglycemia, no more ibs, I have lost 13 lbs so far. I'm at the healthiest weight I've ever been, thanks to meat!

I went plant based 4 months back. From struggling to run for 15 mins non stop and waking up with back pain on a daily basis, I write this after finishing 33 mins non stop running this morning. Plant based eating has changed my life. It’s never to late to change folks.
what did you stop eating 4 months ago. I expect it was more than just meat.
GB I had been a vegetarian for the better part of my life. But diet was extremely heavy on dairy and eggs and very little on vegetables and Fruits. Gave up both, my tastes changed and loaded up on fruits veggies nuts and legumes. I simply eat Whole Foods plant based diet. I don’t watch my carbs or fat or quantity as long as it’s Whole Foods plant based eating with low oil.
@@Dudenator203 probably the dairy. most people have issues with it depending on ancestry. plus modern pasteurised dairy is a new thing. don't think most people are adapted for it. I know people can drink raw milk but have issues with normal supermarket milk
GB I realized too it was the dairy heavy diet that was preventing me from achieving my fitness goals. Most people are lactose intolerant and with factory farmed dairy, it’s getting worse. So may be going plant based was very beneficial for me, health wise and morally too.
Funny. People on ketogenic and carnivore diets also experience the same thing. And reversing type 2 diabetes and auto-immune disorders too. Can we all agree that there is more than one way to get healthy depending on your body? The important thing is stop eating high processed carbs and sugar and lose weight. That right there will cure most ailments.
I had come very close to losing my mobility at age 54. I was taking shots in my knees of Cortizone and right before Thanksgiving I bought a cane. During Thanksgiving break I started reading about the plant-based whole food diet way of eating and its health benefits. I started educating myself and on December 12, 2019, I went cold turkey, not just vegan, but vegan and whole foods only - Nothing processed and no oils. Within five days one knee stopped hurting. Within 12 days the other knee stopped hurting. I now go up and down stairs six or seven times a day, I walk my dogs three times a day, without trying I have lost 32 pounds - it’s amazing to me. So far I’ve had one coworker to change and do the same because of the effect that she sees that it’s had on me. I can honestly say I have never slept better in my life. I have never been less hungry. I have never eaten as much. I’ve never experimented as much with cooking new things and trying new foods. It literally makes me happy from the inside out.
TAMARA ELLIS Good luck on a starvation diet, don’t come at me look it up
That's so wonderful to hear! I especially love that someone else followed your example, that's so powerful 💗
@@goddess4249 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That's GREAT!!! Good for you...Keep going on your vegan/plant based journey and have fun! I'm glad this life style worked out for you. From one vegan to another :-)
because of the incredible difficulty of getting enough nutrition/calories/balanced amino acids on a vegan diet, you may feel better in the short/medium term.. this is mostly due to fasting/calorie restriction and catabolising your own protein for your bodies base needs (which releases a lot of adrenaline making people feel energized/well in the short term)
over time these deficiencies and catabolistic processes will take a severe toll on your body/mind. Please remember, short term, fine... but you NEED animal products/cholesterol and bioavailable animal forms of vitamins in your diet, there simply isn't a way around it.
Veganism is damaging to your health, the environment and animal/wildlife life. Monocropping and this "trend" causes far more death and destruction than any responsible meat eater ever could. The answer is regenerative farming, primarily of grassland restoration which by definition includes animals/ruminants

My son has been on a plant based diet for over 10 yrs. I have just had half my Thyroid removed due to a cancerous growth, my son put out the challenge to try plant based eating, I have been on it now for 3 weeks, I haven’t felt so good in all my life, my energy levels are fantastic, my work load at the gym is off the chart, and have dropped in center meters off the waste line, and my wife of 32 yrs said she’s hasn’t seen me this happy and positive in three decades. I’m staying on this train.
Congrats! The young sharing knowledge with the elders & the elders receiving! Yes God!
The standard American diet is already plant based. A big Mac meal is vastly plant based.
Are you still feeling that well? Would like an update
Crap.
plant slop diet
My vegan story is pretty simple: saw 1 slaughterhouse video and I was done. It's been 3 years now ☺💖🌱
I feel horrible, sometimes, bc, even though I watched aLotta really influential videos/documentaries, I took a reeeeeeeally long time to be capable of being vegan....like, everyday vegan....all the time vegan....
I’ve been going through bad health problems for 6 months then eventually I decided to go vegan and I feel so much better now, been vegan for a month and a half now

@@jessicampbell2380 you don’t have to be so hard on yourself
Everyone is different and also it kinda depends on how you are raised and what kind of people you are surrounded with
What matters is you are a better human
Never feel bad for it

I just went vegan yesterday after watching The Game Changers and What The Health❤
Edit-it's been a full month and I'm still vegan:)
Edit again-still vegan 10/8/20
Edit-still vegan lol 01/19/21
Edit...again. Been over a year and still vegan 04/26/21😁
Edit-08/11/22 still vegan🌱
Good luck! This is probably the best decision you could make for your body!!! Wish you the best
Those shows are peddled by the government - they work out its a lot more profit in selling leaves to people
I tried a vegan and vegetarian diet but honestly couldn’t stand the taste of vegan dishes, mainly because I dislike the taste of vegetables.
This is the same thing I did!!! Well I’m vegetarian at the moment but I’m slowly becoming vegan :)
Still vegan btw haha
Went vegetarian in November 2019 and dropped dairy, February 2020. Can’t think of anything better for my health, animal welfare, and the planet. My father, unwell at 83, started eating plant strong summer 2022, after my staying with him for three months and coaching his home care aids how to improve his diet. His torture constipation completely disappeared and his cognitive health and heart health improved greatly.
I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health.
I stopped being vegan 2 years ago and I no longer suffer from depression, violent rage fits, I've built my muscle back and I'm generally and fitter, more menatlly stable and nicer person as a result of dropping veganism.
I was once someone who uttered the words “I could never go vegan because I love bacon too much” and “ignorance is bliss.” I have now been vegetarian for coming up on 7 years in April. I have been on and off vegan for a while during that time but I have now stuck to it fully since June! I absolutely love being vegan and always will be. Keep spreading the love. ✌🏼🌱
That is so happy to read gud luck
It is not about spreading love . It is about the animals being tortured. Health is a by product and a selfish benefit
You must be a stick now
I'm so glad you've stuck with veganism. I've been vegetarian since 1996, but I could no longer deny what was happening in the dairy industry. I've been vegan a short time, but seriously I feel so much better. The bloating in my stomach is gone. My bad cholesterol went from 152 to 94 in 3 months. I'll never go back.
You aren't vegan though. You're either pretending to be vegan or you don't know what the definition is.
Vegan (noun) - a person that does not eat or use animal products.
Cell phones, computers, the internet, and youtube servers all contain animal products.
Just by posting a comment you're actually saying "look at me, look at me, I just learned how to lie and virtue signal on the internet."
Saw “Forks Over Knives“ and changed my life. I went vegan immediately about 2 1/2 years ago and lost 35 pounds which I’ve kept off. All my numbers normalized and I look 20 years younger according to everyone who mentions it. I feel great and would never go back.
I've been vegan for 2 years now. Got rid of IBS symptoms, now I have clear skin, lost 20 pounds, have more energy and even though I'm approaching 30 people think I'm 20. It has lots of benefits and on top of that you don't have to contribute to killing and torturing billions of animals ✌
"Beyonce followed a vegan diet for 44 days" it would be great if you didn't conflate veganism with plant based dieting. This entire video is extremely confusing.
There is no such thing as a vegan in the modern world. LIVEKINDLY just likes to get paid with subs for lying.
@@janieswanson2549 vegan is an ethical system, so yes the are many vegans.... none of them can yet be perfect because the world has not yet got on board.
That's why vegans must also be active and talk about the lifestyle.
Once animal cruelty is exposed for what it is we can actually live in alignment with our values completely.
But climate change will probably get us first... which is all the more reason to go vegan!

If you eat or use animal products you're not vegan.
Animal products exist in electronics, the internet, and youtube servers. Vegans don't exist.
@@janieswanson2549 you need to study the definition of veganism further... it's about ethics, not about performance...
Not eating meat is just one part of not abusing animals...
Vegans also don't support wearing leather or breeding dogs....
Been vegan for almost 2 years now & I have to say it’s amazing to see more celebrities caring about their health because they have platforms to share & people follow them! So happy to see this!!
they are just using thier power to brainwash people
Good luck with the nutritional deficiencies. Veganism can be good short term, especially for overweight people but in the long run it can have serious negative effects
But veganism isn't for health 😭 I mean health is important but say that veganism is because of health is anthropocentrist vegan celebrities need to talk about animal explotation and especism, not health
@@alienatedbeing7513 not really, all the necessary nutrients are found in plants, except for b12 (you have to take tablets for that) and actually all vegan people who talk abt this lifestyle always clarify that it is VERY important that you take b12
tinykoomi Yes Veganism isn’t for health, it’s clear to see. Having said that most so called vegans eat foods that cause large amounts of animal suffering. Pesticides are literally destroying whole ecosystems, all for your so called vegan crops.
Some people have a problem with celebrities promoting veganism. I don't care if the term helps boost their popularity. The fact that many celebrities are promoting the lifestyle is what matters the most to me.
They're fans or followers may have interest or research veganism since their favorite celebrity promotes veganism. So instead of being bitter and negative about the situation. Don't forget the end goal is to help end human and animal suffering thanks to the irrelevant and cruel dairy/meat industry. If you are vegan, thank you for caring. Cheers for Miami.🙏🏿🌞👍🏽
Juice yes well said kind living
Friend, you deserve many thumbs up :)
Right Juice! I'd like to see more videos like this. Cheers FOR Miami. Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
Yeah but Juice Kim Kardashian is not vegan. She eats mostly plant-based meals and still sells and wears leather and leather is the skin of animals so it is not vegan
None of these celebrities are vegan. That is easily proven.
Veganism is just a way to virtue signal.
Hi my name is Nene i went vegan 40 days ago, due to early menopause. I didnt know that my body would go through the changes it did , chronic pain, inflamation,night sweats ,PH imbalance, serious weight gain. This is a personal journey for me. I can admit that I do feel better in my body.
If your eating processed food of course you'll feel like crap.
you're*
Even fruit and vegs are processed! Where are you going to find totally organic carbs, if you don't grow your own?
bob rew all the centenarians scientists have studied grew their own food and that’s why I believe they lived so long. A lot of the microbes on veg have a very short shelf life so you can’t beat a bit of homegrown.

Vegan isnt a diet it’s a life choice, plant based is a diet.
malnourished diet lol
Quoc Bao True tho

@@titiung more ppl are malnourished eating meat than being vegan. Plantbased is not a malnourished diet.. its the person who is doing it incorrectly are malnourished.
Absolutely! But you can see it in this perspective as well: all vegans have a plant based diet, so they follow a vegan diet, not bc is a diet, but bc veganism is in your diet, clothing, entertainment
I became vegan after my daughter showed me the movie what the health. She did it not only because she cares about animals and wildlife, she also did it because she loves and cares about me. When I use to go into the supermarket, I use to skip pass the produce section and go to the meat section. Now I spend more time with all those beautiful fruit andvegetables. So many dishes can be made and enjoyed without harming your body. I am vegan and I am loving it.
I'm slowly converting to and it is very fun
I’ve only been vegan for 37 days but I can already tell a huge difference. Definitely with my energy. I used to be so tired during the day. I’m also on a consistent running schedule, plan to get back into rock climbing, coming up in 2 years sober in October, and haven’t had a cigarette in 42 days. I didn’t do all these things at once. Each change has been inspired by the next. - My diet is still a journey and I’m leaning to be more mindful about paying attention to ALL the stuff that is added to my food. It’s a process. I’m having mercy on myself. I cannot wait to continue to see the positive results.
I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health. For about a year I felt healthier but, then it started taking a serious toll.
I stopped being vegan 2 years ago and I no longer suffer from depression, violent rage fits, I have energy, I've built my muscle back and I'm generally and fitter, more menatlly stable and nicer person as a result of dropping veganism.
@@TheHominidShow haha. I understand. I learned real quick that following a vegan diet wasn’t for me. I ditched it quite a while back.
I was a big meat lover and turned vegan overnight with my vegetarian husband five years ago. We were both sixty five. Better late than never. I haven't really lost much weight but my body feels clean. Most of all I found my compassion and now see the absurdity of polluting our bodies with the dead flesh of other animals. They have as much right to live as we do.
Well said. Congrats x
@Leslie Gibbons Why do you think animals don't have the same right to life as us humans?
@Leslie Gibbons Why exactly does human life come before animal life though? What makes us so special that we should have a right to exploit another species and treat it as a food product? That they should give up their whole life so we can have one 20-minute meal?
Unfortunately humane treatment is the last thing most animals get in factory farming.
@Leslie Gibbons I never said animal life should come before human life. I think they should be equally important and respected. Of course I would eat an animal if it was up to survival but it never has been and I doubt that is the case for many people in the western world these days so it feels like a bit of a moot point. As long as I can survive without harming animals, I want to do that.
And you're right, not all animals are factory farmed. Vast majority is though. Since you're for humane treatment of animals, I'm assuming you never eat animals that come from factory farms? If so, kudos for you, and I mean that.
@Leslie Gibbons Yes and I've been trying to ask WHY exactly you think they are not equally important and I haven't really gotten an answer. Because they are not the same species as us?
There are also loads of people whose health has improved since dropping animal products. What works for one person might not work for others.
After watching "What the Health" and "Game Changers" I had wanted to change to veganism for a while but I always had the excuse that I wasn't going to have the discipline to stick to it because I couldn't afford it and I lived in a house full of meat eaters. Then one day I just changed to veganism and it has been the easiest thing I have ever done in my life. I made the change mostly for my health but I have always been an animal lover and I love that my lifestyle is now in line with my ethics.
Most people doesn't realise that veganism promotes deforestation in other parts of the world, Indonesia for example, or el chaco in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. Also, promoting boycott to the industry only affect the smaller producers the ones the breed specific breeds (many of them heritage breeds) and pastured, this includes pigs, cows, poultry of many types and so on, ultimately this promotes the extinction of breeds that can thrive in natural conditions.
You should watch Earthlings. The worst and best film/documentary on animals. Broke my heart
don't do it buddy. it's actually a clever scam to sell you garbage plant food with no real nutritional value whatsoever. The markup on animal foods aren't as high. Vegan food is almost always very or more processed. Plant vitamins have extremely low absorbtion rates. like 1/30th of the vitamin A / betacarotine in a carrot actually gets converted into a form of vitamin A you can use. Veganism is terrible and most people quit ( for a reason ) you'll feel good for a few months, a year maybe. then you will start to degenerate because of lacking vitamins. There are over 50 minerals and nutrients you can't adequately get from eating plants. Probably, you wont believe me because you trust big media more than some dude on the internet, right. Everyone says plants are healthy! there even are (chuckle) studies proving it! (lmao) anyway
once you have suffered a few years on veganism with bloating, gut issues and brain fog maybe you will remember this post and eat a big steak. Preferably completely raw. Then you will feel for yourself instantly... you're systems need meat to optimally function.
Take care
@@cryptofreyr3408 disgusting how you wrote all of that just to prove that our health as humans is more important than the other animals, but is not
@@sebthroughwen you can tell us after you're dead, huh?
I was vegetarian off and on for years. Then I watched the game changer on TH-cam and became instantly vegan. Stopped wearing anything made from an animal including silk. Stopped using products that tested on animals and gave up all food that came from an animal including honey. It definitely was a game changer for me and I have never been happier. Just knowing that I’m not hurting an animal is enough for me but it’s an added bonus the world is better for it.
So much agree about the honey. People frequently overlook how actually honey is violently taken from 🐝
i wanna go vegan rn im vegetarian. ive noticed cheese constipates me..
You living is hurting more animals than you think!!
@Vegan Zombie in addition to all the above..I can get out of bed in the morning and stand up straight with no pain. Sleep better, no migraines, less inflammation. Working on switching to who,e food plant based and already see less pain in my joints from arthritis. Since I gave up sugar my RLS is way better.
great Bro
I'm 16 and I am a vegan and I'm so happy, proud of myself. I am a vegan cuz I care about my healthy, I am vegan cuz I care about enveriment and the most important thing is I am a vegan cuz I do think that animals are so incredibley important and I do respect love them🖤🙏🏿🖤

i went plant based for my own health, i am not strictly vegan but haven’t eaten animals for 6 years. i’ve never had the flu since then (not getting flu shots either). i feel happier, less stressed and less angry. i wanna transition to completely vegan this year, working on it.
I've never had the flu my entire life, and never had a flu shot either. Not when I was vegetarian, not when I was vegan, and not when I was omnivore. Not catching influenza is irrelevant to diet, more down to hygiene and exposure.
PS. vegetarian / vegan nearly killed me, be bloody careful.
great stuff. and if you ever get sick or dont like the feeling you can always go back to eating a variety of whole foods again like fruits ,vegetables, fats,meats,seafood ect and you will start feeling better again.
@@salamjihad3449 completely agree… you can always revert back… give it a try. There’s no single solution in life. If you are meant to eat meat you are meant to eat meat.

@@theearthisntflatpleasestop9899 CURED YOUR HEALTH? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN ??
never felt better, helped a dozen friends and family members around me make the transition. It cured 3 of them of chronique diseases including my mum’s 30 years hypertension in only 6 days on a plant based diet. After 2 weeks a friend cut his insulin in half. “Not your mum, not your milk”, powerful statement.
'helped'
Don't lie. Sound like a herbalife employee 😂
I’m a new vegan. I’ve been vegan for nearly 3 weeks so far and I feel so lighter and cleaner. All my stomach cramps and pain are gone, my energy varies from day to day because of my lack of sleep, but I feel so much better than before.
And then after the first couple months or so it will go downhill. There are at least 15 nutrients exclusive to animal products and unless you're micromanaging your diet you're probably missing out on way more than that. If you start experiencing low energy or brain fog or any of the dozens of other symptoms of veganism please just eat some eggs, that's a good middle ground.
Awesome
That "lighter" will continue. I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health.

Been vegetarian for over 7 years and I feel clean. My conscience is clean. My aches and pains went away. There is so much you can eat.its not just a piece of lettuce like some people think. I sleep well. Health is really good. I rarely get sick and if I do I bounce back really fast. It's refreshing
I changed my diet 4 years ago to a vegan diet. I was always athletic and worked out 6 days a week. My cholesterol was always high so I decided to change my diet instead of starting medication. What a difference! My cholesterol is normal now and I've never felt better. I wish more people would educate themselves and heal their bodies and the planet. Be kind to yourself and to all the animals that suffer and are tortured due to factory farming.
You could have become healthy on a proper omnivore diet too.
"Be kind to yourself and to all the animals that suffer and are tortured due to factory farming."
And there it is....
You do realize the electronic device you used to comment, the internet, and youtube servers all contain animal products from the same animals in those factory farms right?
just wait until u run out of cholesterol lol
If you cut processed foods, sugars, unhealthy oils etc, and start eating more fruits and vegetables, you would probably feel a lot better anyways, even if you keep meat in your diet. And I cant 100% say that meat is healthy or meat is unhealthy, but what I know is you'll become muscular and strong wayyy easier and faster if you eat meat... And we need our muscles so..
All you had to do was cut back on your cholesterol intake, a healthy diet is a healthy diet.
You guys are so misinformed about meat. It's also not necessary to kill animals for food. You're either ignorant or just misinformed.
It's nice to see how they had different journeys ! I'm plant-based in a family that's not, with friends that aren't and I thought I would not be able to stay on this diet because of that... turns out this yes I can and I'm proud of myself !!!
Now that is powerful, great respect to you! A mixture of various choices in my environment, not many vegans.. but the society is slowly moving towards more plant-based, how lovely.
Good for you!
Good for you!
Most people who go vegan quit, and usually because of health. Plenty of informtion out there on ex vegans and what to watch out for if you look for it. Seek a BALANCED view, because if your body can't handle it, it can get VERY serious very quickly. You owe it to yourself, and get your B12 levels checked every year.
@@themudpit621 You're right. You can make you sick on plant based diet if you choose the wrong food. All that crap fake meats, fake cheeses and white flours. Choose vegetables, potatoes, whole grains, fruits, legumes and a few nuts and seeds, avoid oil, drink water and supplement in B12. That's the way.
So awesome to see so many celebrities going vegan and sharing their journeys. I finally made the connection back in late 2010 and decided to give up meat for my New Year's resolution that year. Let me just say, it was the only NY's resolution I've EVER kept... because it was the easiest! People often tell me that I must have great willpower to which I respond, I actually have LOUSY willpower but thankfully being vegan doesn't require willpower. It only requires an open heart and mind to see reality... animals are NOT food, they are living beings that---like us---deserve to live their lives. Once you understand that, living vegan is simple and oh so rewarding. Peace & love!
💚 After going vegan I felt deep true love for myself and all life around me. It Is lifechanging! 💚
I have been Vegan for 2 years now. I did it cold Turkey. Over night. I did it for spiritual reasons at first but the more research I did I decided that I am definitely an ethical Vegan. I have my daughter to thank for showing me the right road to take. She has been Vegan 4 years. I love this lifestyle. Knowledge is power and I feel so powerful right now

I went vegan at the age of 54 - which was 4 years ago. I have so much more energy, lost around 20 pounds and never felt better in my entire life. In my philosophy I am similar to Lewis Hamilton and cannot imagine going back to eating any animal based products, not even ice cream (read my labels, yeah). Torturing animals just so people can eat them is now unimaginable to me. I wish, I had changed my diet earlier.
You never went vegan.
Janie Swanson she literally has a hundred vegan playlists on her channel. You look stupid.
I went vegan 2 days ago i feel great
Just started at 54.
people do lose weight when they're starving.
I am a vegan and I would like to say that the resistance often comes because people feel that they have to be on one side or the other. But that isn't true. an idea is to just have a vegan day twice a week and see how you feel. Perhaps you will reduce it to 1 day a week or up it to 6 days and have a cheat day. Either way adding more plant-based foods will benefit you. You don't have to be 'vegan' to get some benefits is what I am saying, just adding 1 day a week can help. Of course, fully plant-based is probably better than not, but eating 14% more plant-based (1 day a week) is better than 100% non-plant based. Of course, this is about you personally and your health, it doesn't even get into the environmental benefits or animal benefits. Additionally, fellow vegans let's share the message without judgment, this isn't about shaming people. We all have the right to choose and that shouldn't be met with judgment. I cringe when I hear vegans say other people's food is disgusting, let's educate and elevate not judge. Let people make up their own minds once they have the facts.

How long were you vegan because being animal free for short periods of time will always feel good. Not long term
This is true if you're going for plant based, but vegan implies against animal abuse, so it's an all or nothing kind of thing.... at least as is practically possible....
When a vegan says meat disgusts them, it's because they see the suffering that was caused and feel for the animal.... it is disgusting when you consider it from the animals perspective!
Eggs are disgusting because they come out the asshole of a chicken...

Vegan for 1 month now, no longer suffering from Hayfever! :) Me too it was after I watched the Game Changers, I have been vegetarian and flexitarian for years but always hesitated to give up dairy and eggs. I have been eating a lot and after 4 weeks lost a half inch around the waistline without changing anything else.
Wait I have hay fever too, does going vegan really help? If so how?
@@diyapatel3286 Could be dairy, eggs, nuts, etc causing flare ups. Those are the most common. Avoiding canola, soy, corn, vegetable oils can help as well.
I'm a vegan for animals. I'm doing awesome 🎉

Kudos to all the celebrities and regular folks for spreading the love and educating the planet.
Beyoncé didn’t follow a “Vegan” diet! And hasn’t done so “several times” it’s nonsense!
Being Vegan is NOT a diet, that would be; Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB). Being Vegan 🌱 is not something that you do for a while and then put it down! How ridiculous!
It is an ethical stance, a worldview, a complete lifestyle that advocates for the equality and rights of innocent, sentient animals and has nothing to do with health per se. There is plenty of unhealthy “Vegan” processed rubbish that you can eat, so to promote “Veganism” as a healthy diet doesn’t make a lot of sense and is factually incorrect.
Veganism is a mental disorder
@Leslie Gibbons people on plant based diets have been shown to live longer, healthier lives. But keep lying to yourself. You prove vegans points by your need to lie to yourself to feel better about consuming meat and dairy products all on your own. You know it's wrong but instead of admit it you lie to yourself and others.
it really bugs me when they do this. Same as evangelicals who claim that someone is a "reformed" atheist. If you were an atheist, then started believing in a higher power without any evidence of its existence, then you were never really an atheist to begin with.
Well, diet is really just what a person eats on a regular basis. The word diet is often used incorrectly to reference a period of eating x and then going back to y, but it’s an incorrect usage. Saying vegan diet is correct. It means eating vegan.
at least you have to start somewhere,
I've been vegetarian for 13 years and fully vegan for a few months. I feel better than I've felt in a long time. It helped with my depression, weight, energy, and much more. I'm in my 30s and just started running. That's something I never thought I'd be able to do since I have hypothyroidism and used to get tired really quickly. I have the energy I did as a kid and it's only getting better every day.
I’m slowly transitioning to plant base. Currently I’m doing it on the weekdays and it’s been pretty good so far! 4 months in! I hope I can eventually do it everyday
Keep up the good work I'm really starting to ✔️
I have been trying to do the same and it has helped tremendously!
I was vegan for 16 years and it nearly destroyed my body and my mental health.
I stopped being vegan 2 years ago and I no longer suffer from depression, violent rage fits, I've built my muscle back and I'm generally and fitter, more menatlly stable and nicer person as a result of dropping veganism.
Short term it might be good for you but every single long term vegan i know including myself is suffering from depression and other physical symptoms you dont want to have.
That's weird because I have only seen the opposite, including myself with long term plant based eating. Vegan diet is for the animals and doesn't mean a healthy diet by any means, however plant based eating is for nutrition. Two very different diets.
I’ve been reducing my consumption of meat, soon I’ll be a full Vegan!!🙏🏽🙌🏽

So inspirational! I love this positive message & how the world is waking up & making changes for the better. For us, for the animals, & for the planet.
I remember meeting a woman when I was a child, she ate no meat, fish, cheese, butter or eggs. wow, I thought she was a saint and wished with all my heart to be like her. The seed was planted. As an adult I found it very difficult to touch raw meat and eventually became vegetarian.. that lasted 15 years then I migrated and for my convenience started eating meat again. That went on for about 7 years, but more and more touching and smelling dead flesh was getting to me… plus I was feeling lousy..horrid thoughts in my head… so low energy.
One Sunday morning 6.5 years ago I checked out youtube and someone had posted a link called Earthlings, I thought it was about ET’s so I clicked on it. To my horror it was about animals being cruelly slaughtered for our culinary lust. First impulse was to turn it off… far to sensitive to look at that cruelty, but a loud voice in my head screamed, watch it…so I hid my face and looked and cried like a baby, I was inconsolable.
That very hour I dumped everything in my fridge and cupboards with meat and dairy into the garbage. Instant 🌱 vegan . I cried for two weeks. That was 6 1/2 years ago..and I have never felt better. The dark thoughts left, and my health has improved greatly…These animals are sentient beings with children and emotions.
was a process for me. Pescetarian since 7 years, then became a vegetarian a year later and now since over 12 months I am a vegan now. Happy with it.

Janie Swanson well but the thing isn’t it better to do something than doing nothing?

You cut down junk food tha contain fast carbs and seed oils, and that is why you lost weight. Had you eaten low carb nutrient dense animal foods, your weight would have dropped faster and you would have gotten more essential nutrients.

I have also woke to the extreme damage that the meat and dairy industries are doing to our planet!!! in just 4 weeks my skin is looking better, my energy levels are up, my spirits are up, and my pre-diabetic status has been reversed! I'm going to continue down this path and, hopefully, it will also have a positive impact on my Lymphoma? only time will tell, but for now I feel great!

I’ve been vegan for four years now and honestly I don’t know how I ate as much cheese as I used to. Legit I was the person who would get stuffed crust and extra extra cheese on pizza.

Wouldn’t change it for anything.
angela bleibtrey good for you! I gave up dairy in 2008, and in 2 months got sooo lean. I was a cheese addict too!
I used to be vegan, it never helped my health. It continued to worsen over time until I was sick, weak, finally after eating meat based im feeling revived and reversing health conditions that veganism did nothing for.
@G well I think a pet like a dog is okay. They help protect a home and can be very uplifting to a person during a hard time. They're very smart and loyal. I do think people naturally want a pet because they instinctively want something to take care of (like a child)
It’s not for everyone, in fact it’s probably the most energy depleting diet, short of starving yourself. It’s more of a statement than a viable health alternative, which should be obvious.
There's a wrong way to do anything.
@G I literally dont even cuddle with my dogs but I do with humans... I already know that humans forced evolution on dogs through selective breeding but like tiny dogs for example need people and could never fend for themselves in the wild so people inevitably take them in. If you dont like it then dont have pets but it's something people do.

I’m glad to hear that Steve Hardy changed his diet to vegan as the Standard American Diet is especially deadly for Black people. 2 of my best friends have been Black, and over time so much, m first friend died of her Sickle Cell disease. My current friend got me interested in veganism, and the change helped me get out of a wheelchair at age 60., and walking daily, doing my 10,000 steps. No more 200 lbs., 8 lbs. lighter and wearing a size 4 in jeans. Much better life! No more arthritis, asthma, eczema, high load pressure of cholesterol. I am a 71 year young senior taking no meds.
The meds the doctors give for these lifestyle diseases never get one well, it makes more for the doctor and slowly poisons us.
My mom and sister both died of breast cancer, my dad and grandmother of Alzheimer’s, mom had 2 hip replacements, her sister has both knees replaced, my aunt’s daughter-in-law got knees replaced too. No blood relation, of course, but the cause of all these health disasters was the food!
I have been saved from so much.

Veganism is a lifestyle.

I follow a plant based diet. I hardly eat any junk food. I aim for 10/15 different plants a day. Try do do an 80% plant 20% other per day. As a rough guide. I'm not obsessed. I have never felt better. More energy, and more alert mentally. Less pain in my joints. I feel happier too. Maybe watch game changers, it has some useful info if you're into your fitness.

I was a vegetarian (not vegan) for 20 years and then I went back to eating meat and my health increased tremendously. My energy increased, physical and mental, anxiety and effects of stress decreased etc etc. As a vegatarian I took extra supplements like vitamins, minerals and spirulina (algae), but in the end I realized that as a vegan or vegetarian you are constantly trying to replace the missing nutrients from meat and it actually doesn't work because it needs to be consumed in a bio available form (a.k.a meat) and there are things like anti nutrients in so many greens that you are not often told about which actually stop you from absorbing the nutrients, as a part of the plants defense to survive in nature. Greens and fruit are nutrient deficient or low in nutrients in most nutrients everything but vitamin C. If you don't believe that, look at the nutritional content in any meat compared to any vegan alternative. It's not environment friendly either. Where do you think those fruits and greens come from in the winter? They are grown half-way across the planet, packages in plastic and flown over the oceans! I lived it for 20 years and I don't even want to imagine what that would have been like as a vegan. ALSO... several of the "vegans" in this video are no longer vegan, and that is for a good reason. Vegans feel great for the first months, year of couple of years or more, then when the body has taken all there is from the body stored resources, the illnesses and problems start and all the vegans will tell you that you are just "doing it wrong". Same story EVERY time. I'm not anti vegan because it's noble to think of the animals, but I am against promoting lies that veganism is healthy, because it is not! I just want to help you so that you don't have to go through a horrible time and instead save your health and perhaps many precious years. Realize that many (most) of the big vegan channels on youtube are paid influencers for vegan brands. Same in most social media etc. They are trying to SELL you veganism. IF you don't believe what I'm saying, research it for yourself. Don't take my or anyone else's word for it!

I'm proud to say I've been vegan now for almost five months. In return my joints feel better, mind clearer, and just as strong as ever. Went from 280 down to 250. Also increased energy levels are through the roof!!! 💯
Vegan over 10 years, never looked back and fall I love with more and more everyday
You're not vegan though.
How's the farts going? And the malnutrition
Congratulations greenmouth you just killed thousands of plants without asking for their choice -
These comments here, though...
Anyway, well done and keep it going. I've been a vegan myself for about 3 years now and am almost just excited about it as the day I started
Vegetarian 40+ years. Vegan 15+ years. Nearly 66 years old. No health issues, no medications. Can rock a yoga class and frequently walk 12-16 miles in a day for fun. But most importantly, my conscience is clear and my soul sits right in my body.
Vegan 13 years love it and not going back
I’m fine with u being vegan but I ain’t switching
I don’t eat a TON of meats but I still do and I’m living healthy and happy
@@jonah_boi__9181 but animal cruelty-
Shreya Bhat idk if you don’t understand this but if everyone was vegan there would be waaaay to many animals and no food for them sooo nope not goin vegan
@@jonah_boi__9181 that's the most common misconception. You have to understand that we breed animals in factories using artificial insemination. They won't exist in such high numbers if not for humans. Also the world is not going vegan overnight. If you don't buy animal products, you are decreasing the demand for animal breeding.
So yeah it's all in our hands.
Joaquin Phoenix 45 years old looks like he's hitting 60'.
Veganism accelerates aging.
Verma isn’t it the other way around? O.o
He does a lot for his acting career. As the joker, he had to lose A LOT of weight. And that’s stressful for anyone to have to starve yourself. Stress increases aging , so no it’s not because he’s vegan it’s because he plays extreme roles for his career.
Yes.. because it's a degeneration diet.
It's a long journey, I myself had a lot of information thrown at me and while thinking about change, however, I didn't. Due to my cousin nagging and persistence, I actually booked to watch "What the Health" when it was first released. Watched it July 26 2017, stopped consuming animal products 27 July 2017 and haven't looked back. We all have a duty of care, to protect the innocent (animals & children) the planet and our own health, #Livekindly, love your work. #Vegan4Life
@jahidul islam786 I'm not trying to change you, as it's obvious that you are just a troll, otherwise, WTF would you be on this site?
I'm trying to be vegan .. Searched on youtube on why people go vegan but most of the videos showed 'why i'm no longer vegan' .. For me being vegan is depends to ourself, not to brag on anything,not to condemn non-vegan .. I'm not vegan yet but seeing people hating on vegan, makes me feels annoyed .. Let people choose what they want to be as long they're happy & healthy.
What has your vegan journey been like?
I’ll be at 5 years in a month. I am over 50 pounds lighter (230 to 175ish now) but improvements in my physical health is the smallest difference in my life. The growth in my connection to the planet and myself has been incredible. I feel like my spirituality has been on steroids these past few years.
Living in alignment with my values and my heart has unlocked parts of this experience that I couldn’t have even imagined.
Vegan primarily for the animals but I now fully see that it’s all connected. Animal welfare, my health and the planet of the health desire alignment. Peace n love :)
@@doyouevennaturebro4593 This is fantastic! Congratulations on your mind, body and spirit transformation. Very encouraging to hear!
Excellent. Not a problem since going vegan. 30-year-vegan here - 1/2 my life.
@@rwess That's great Roy. Would you be interested in doing a video interview for a series on "Long Time Vegans" that a friend has been doing?
When I went vegan 39 years ago we didn't have so many books, documentaries, and TH-cam channels like LIVEKINDLY. No faux meats and nut milks, only tofu and soy milk. There's really no good reasons not to go vegan today
Veganism isn’t “having a moment” MEAT was having a moment and now true order is coming😌
A "moment" of millions of years.
Tom Lauris although humans have only existed for about 200,000 years lol.
@@ashleyjohnston9282 the modern form yes. as far a meat eating it's millions of years counting our ancestors
GB “our ancestors did it, so therefore it’s okay for us to do it”
- you know that same line of thinking justifies slavery right?
Humans practiced enslavement for thousands of years, but we look back on it with disgust. I imagine the same will be said for our treatment of animals. Animal enslavement is not necessary and there is so much needless suffering in the animal agriculture industry.
@@ashleyjohnston9282 that's incorrect, but I understand logic and reason
I was vegan for 10 years. Those were the most unhealthy/miserable years of my life. Now that I am strictly carnivore no more hypoglycemia, no more ibs, I have lost 13 lbs so far. I'm at the healthiest weight I've ever been, thanks to meat!
I went vegan before and feel not good. Now iam carnivore. Feel so great
