I wouldn't call myself vegan...???, but I stopped eating meat because the grease was always giving me headaches. My weight didn't change and I actually have way more energy and less stress than ever. I feel fine in the morning. I get even better sleep, I guess also with the help of stretching and breathing techniques. So, it made my options smaller for food so instead I started actually studying foods, vitamins and minerals, etc and I've been planning my diet accordingly. I eat eggs everyday sometimes twice which is my main source of protein (I upgraded to Vital Farms pasture raised eggs), studying greek yogurt, dark chocolate, cashews, etc. I'm far more athletic than ever before and I feel fantastic. Worth it. No matter how good a fat burger or bacon sounds, I'm better off without a headache ty. No caffeine. I don't take medicine. Never smoked or vaped. Never drink alcohol. I'm 25 and still look and feel 16. Recommend those eggs though for sure.
I've had a similar experience, but with going vegan. First I went vegetarian, and I didn't feel any positive/negative change from it, I just went on with my life. Once I went vegan tho, I did feel an increase in energy, clearer skin and better digestion. However, I never really "studied" my foods, which could have been helpful in the past
4:26 Opinions really do vary on this topic. I think for many vegans it is about not causing animals to suffer or die fro their food. In which case it would depend on how the Bees are kept and handled. If the bee keeper makes sure no bees are harmed and he provides the bees with lots of flowers to get nectar and pollen from to make their job easier and he only takes a conservative amount of honey from them it should be OK for a Vegan to eat that honey. But If bees are harmed or crushed during the honey harvesting process, or to much honey is taken and the bees only have sugar water to live off and not enough flowers are provided for pollen and nectar, or the bees are exposed to insecticides on orchards causing them harm it is no longer acceptable for a Vegan to eat that Honey.
I made a chick pea tuna it sounds odd but celery pickles onions mustard dill basil paprika plenty of salt black pepper get a good vegan mayo and coarsely smash chick peas mash all together then throw some green peas in there and yummy it taste and has a similar texture as tuna
Glad you did this video! I think for comparison sake, it would have been good to eat 140-180g of protein per day like you usually do. With my vegan diet, I have to be very intentional about eating 150+ grams per day and if I don't, I don't feel nearly as good. Also, a week isn't a long time to see benefits. I really started noticing benefits about a month into being vegan, once I started ironing out my meal plan.
appreciate how much effort intention you put into making sure you ate as wholesome as possible, no processed vegan burger bs lol with that said i don't think i could even do 5 days without meat lol respect!
In regards of honey: most honey isn't vegan because isn't cruelty free, the queen get her wings clipped to avoid migration and in the collection of honey many bees are killed. But there are cruelty free/vegan honey brands.

As a (mostly) vegan person, honey isn't vegan since bees are animals (and so are all bugs). Generally, an animal is just a eukaryotic organism that moves around and eats other things to survive, so a bee qualifies as that and hence honey isn't technically vegan. I recommend silan/date syrup as a replacement; personally, I like the taste of date syrup more.
I was watching a video of people doing the carnivore diet, for healing purposes. It’d be cool for you to try a week of carnivore and share how you feel afterwards.
2 year carnivore here. I eat just beep, eggs and dairy... It's weird, that's all I can say. My biomarkers are perfect. My gut health is perfect. My joints never hurt after exercise. My muscles heal faster after exercise. And I'm just calmer and less irritable in general. It's like I never run out of energy until I get tired before bed. And I sleep like a baby. I didn't come from any diet in particular. I ate cereal with yoghurt in the morning and salads with nuts and chicken, sometimes olives and you know the healthy stuff. But cutting out all the plants including the sugar and the fibre... Yeah, I don't get it. It's just really, really weird. You'd think I'd passed out already, but I just feel like I've become practically immune to everything. Emotional stimuli, bacteria, stress, ... it just doesn't seem to bother me any more. I'd like someone to explain why it works, because I still don't get it.
@@___xyz___ I’ve watched a lot of videos of people sharing their experiences with carnivore, and they all say basically the same thing. They were all healed from depression, anxiety, autoimmune issues… it goes on and on. I know our gut health is a huuuuge factor in how we feel mentally, emotionally, & physically, as well as autoimmune issues. From what I’ve gathered, the carnivore diet allows the gut mucus membrane to heal. This is so important because if it is compromised, (leaky gut) then the foods we’re eating are leaking out into our bloodstream, which causes the body to attack itself. Obviously I’m explaining it in an overly simplified way, but it reeks havoc on us. I think a lot of it has to do with how food is made/grown these days as well, with the pesticides and gmo. It’s possible that eliminating plants and carbs from our diet eliminates the reaction our bodies have to those chemicals, i.e. inflammation. Plus, the whole lectin argument that plants have.
@@ambercollinsfitness I also have heard the same thing from carnivore diet participants. I don't know anyone in my daily life doing carnivore, but I know several "vegetarians" and "vegans" (in quotes because some are weird, like a teenage female who practically lives on cereal). The veggies fall into two groups, those who follow it crazy religiously (veggies, nuts, sometimes fruits, legumes, etc.), and those who eat the junk food and are just like a normal person on food choices. Of all of them, I don't know a single veggie person who said they felt good, felt better, or felt like they had beaten a disease or symptom. I don't know if it's funny or sad, but most of them have depression, or some kind of mental health issue. Purely personal experience, no medical or scientific claims here.
Vegans can supplement their diet with additional minerals and vitamins to make up for the deficiency. Or if they have access to it, it is possible to build a vegan diet that is nutritionally complete. Although, this does assume access to a wide variety of international foods which depending on where you live or your income bracket, isn't always an option. @@benstiller5054
It's awesome for a 1 week or 1m diet but cooking EVERYTHING by yourself for long term is unsustainable, buy some organic vegan jogurt or sauce once in a while, you will pay a little bit more but save a lot of time. Balance is everything. Love your videos! 👍
protein intakes are WAY over recommended. I weight train 5 days per week and get around 80g on average, 5'8" 155 lean and muscular. I used to think that protein was the end all be all but, apparently, most trainers, educational materials, etc. don't know shit. I would knock down 160g to 180g protein per day. When I changed the way I eat and dropped protein (raised carbs to offset calorie change from protein reduction) intake to 70g to 80g per day my weight dropped a bit (fat loss), strength and muscle mass didn't change at all. I am sure my kidneys will thank me later for changing. Now I typically come in around 60% calories from carbs, 14% protein, 26% fats. Thing with protein is that our body is pretty efficient at breaking down proteins into the base aminos and rebuilding the things that it needs again. Plowing in more and more just makes your body inefficient at cleaning house since one is just supplying an over abundance of amino. No reason for the body to waste time when there is a constant over-supply. 85% or more calories from whole plant foods. Feel WAY better and even a hard workout has much less recovery time. Eating lots of whole plant foods means lots of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds are always coursing through the old blood vessels. Makes for quick recoveries.
Each person's body is different. For me, higher protein works, with moderate carbs. And low fat. I used to go no carbs high fat high protein. That didn't work. I feel great on higher protein about .7g per lb of bodyweight or about 129gs a day. (185lb 6'1")
I think when having proteins just from legumes without any grains(rice or cereals) you end up missing some essential proteins found in grains that complement legume proteins. That's why in supplements, a mix of about 70% pea protein and 30% rice or the other way is usually used to have complete protein
Okay legitimate question and keep in mind I know nothing about protein powder which is why I'm asking this when you guys are saying pea protein are you meaning like piss or is there something I'm missing here I am genuinely curious I'm not trying to be a slag
@@VideosMotivacionaisComOGabe actually my phone did the typing I just talked and you lost me between slag and behavior if you're asking what I'm referring to slag in this sense is my way of saying I'm not trying to be a dick however slag in itself is leftover pieces of metal during the process of blacksmithing in which case a piece of metal has been banged so many times sending small pieces of burnt metal leftovers known as slag so when used towards a person it means a person who has been banged so much over and over again to the point to where no one wants those leftovers so in short a gutter slut
If you crave a meat burger just get a vegan one. What is in most meat burgers is so unhealthy, it's not just saturated fat, it's hormones, germs which still exists after cooking, and then animal protein which has been associated with cancer growth. So those vegan mock meats are much healthier than meat. Even if they're overly processed in most cased meat like Beyond meat is better for you than eating actual meat. Additionally it takes at least a month to notice any serious changes when it comes to diet in most cases. Also you need to find food grown in the right conditions, some lentils have 24g protein for 100g. IE: KTC Lentils. Also some beans are higher in protein then other beans. Like Edamame Beans, these are high in protein and low in calories too. But you don't need that much protein to build muscle. Plus you can just buy protein powder, if you really feel like you need a lot.
To see results in body build, you would at least do this for a few months. Any ways, I've been vegan for 35 years, than started to eat meat, and saw almost immediate result. A lot more muscles, less training needed to make the muscles.
im a vegan myself, and i do eat honey cause honey bees are very good for growing vegies and they are a key component to the ecosystem. therefore by eating honey you encourage the farming of bees, therefore more bees exist. so yeah i eat honey cause its not hurting the bees.
As an "A" rider guy in my bike club, I tried removing red meat from my diet. Easy to comply, doesn't impose ultra virtuosity on others, easy to buy groceries, most of menu available, don't have to worry about vegetable combos for complete amino acids. However, after 2 years my cycling endurance dropped off despite training the same. I had depleted my body reserves of iron. Went back to normal performance after eating red meat once a week. You don't absorb iron from pills very well (vit C helps some). Young women are those most likely to be strict vegan, but also limit their athletic performance the most by not supplying their higher iron requirements.
I was a vegan for a while solely for health reasons. In my particular situation, it got rid of my asthma issues very quickly. My diet has changed up a bit since then. Generally it’s easier to gain and maintain mass while eating animal protein. The people who say honey is not vegan are most definitely vegan for animal rights reasons. Honey is vegan. The argument made as to why it’s not is quickly invalidated with a little research. If something has to not harm animals at all to be considered vegan, nothing is. When plants are farmed, even if organic, every creature in the field where the plants are growing are ripped to shreds by industrial combines. Every frog, rat, snake, bird, bug and everything between gets pulverized during harvest. And of course non-organic fruits and veggies are worse because farmers poison the crops to kill animals that try to eat them. A lot of creatures had to die for a vegan’s kale salad. Tough pill for a lot of them to swallow.
Bees are technically beans, same size. Btw I don’t think that your vegan diet is sustainable, you want to go starch based (Dr John McDougall) not fat/protein based. And do vegan style stats: count macronutrients in % of total calories, not grams.
4 1/2 years vegan here. So glad you’re doing this challenge Cody! So with honey, unfortunately it is common in the honey industry for queen bees to artificially inseminated in order to maximize honey production. You can literally order queen bees online and get them to your door, it’s kind of twisted. Additionally, the biggest thing that makes honey not “vegan” (in other words, not ethical) is that worker bees live to produce honey for queen bee in the hive, so unfortunately in the honey industry, they are known to cut off the wings of the queen bee, which is cruel because youre literally taking away their own natural transportation. which is the equivalent of cutting off your legs so you can keep reading my comment. I’ve heard they also replace the honey with high fructose corn syrup (kills the bee population) and commercialized beekeeping is what’s killing the bee population. Also the point of veganism is to avoid harming animals (as much as practically possible) and is the viewpoint that animals are not ours to use or take advantage of, so the act of consuming and taking honey from the bees is not vegan. It’s not really a gray area anymore, the only gray area is that not all beekeepers are bad or clip the queen bee wings, which I’m sure is true, but it’s the fact of thinking that animals are here for us to use when we have plenty of different of plant alternatives like agave, maple, coconut nectar, etc. and no, we’re not on a desert island where we have no other choice, we live near Walmart’s and targets and Kroger’s and have the choice to be ethical and grab the almond milk or tofu or agave instead.
Ah come on... I am from Central / East europe. Here we have top grade honey, all natural. Nobody is doing these stuff that you mentioned... eating honey has been here for most probably more than 200.000 years. I am sure early hominids ate honey. :D
it's also extremely harmful for the environment to produce, is super high in sugar, and has next to no nutritional value. Also somewhat ironically, far, far more bees die producing agave than die producing honey. Agave is a very harmful crop to pollenate.
I went vegan about 5 years ago. Honestly, felt the same. In a good way. Only difference is knowing that I'm not clogging my arteries and not ingesting unhealthy animal byproducts. Plus more ethical. Main sources of protein for me are lentils and chickpeas. I train bodybuilding style and have continued to make good gains with no issues.
Lies you feel better as a vegan. It’s like you have more energy after a while unless you ate junk food… Then eventually you start feeling sick if you lack vitamins. I’m no longer vegan but I’m transferring to a high vegan diet and I love it already. I just started after stopping 6 years ago
Ethical vegans don’t eat honey I think 🤔 I’m veggie but don’t drink milk or eat eggs I prefer almond milk ect it’s hard 2 give up cheese an m&m’s lol benn veggie since I was 14 I’m 27 now and neva rly enjoyed meat I rarely ate it anyway I mainly ate chicken or cod now an then when I did tho
Honey has animal protein in it. When the bees swallow it enzymes in their stomach mix with the nectar and then when the bees "barf" up the nectar it has now become honey. So it's literally not vegan if for only the simple fact that it has animal protein in it.
I've never heard this particular argument before. It doesn't make a ton of sense. There are plants which contain animal protein in one way or another. If you reduce vegan ethics to identifying on a molecular level the makeup of any given biomass, then it utterly misses the point.
On honey being vegan: the question is less 'are bees animals' and more 'is honey cruelty free' and 'is honey the product of bee exploitation'. I'll sum up here by saying, most honey made in large scale apiaries is pretty straightforwardly non-vegan due to harmful practices. However there are a ton of sustainable ways to keep bees and harvest honey, many of which would satisfy the vegan ethical requirements of being cruelty free and non-exploitative. However, different people have different interpretations of what 'exploitation' means; and notwithstanding the practical ethics, there are also those who would argue the point that any animal 'product' is non-vegan by definition, and that's the end of it. This is largely a semantic argument rather than an ethical one, but this sort of thing is important to some people. Others may argue that they're missing the point. Most vegans would consider bees to be animals for the purposes of answering the is it/is it not vegan question, though obviously there are some vegans (I think, a minority) who do not include insects in the 'animals' category since they don't have a CNS or pain receptors etc. I don't really think it's worth arguing over this point so I won't go into it. Now for those who care, here's the detail: Without info-dumping too much about beekeeping and honey production, the rough gist is that conventionally: a) hives almost always produce more honey than they need, so honey can be harvested sustainably during warm seasons; b) honey harvesting (the traditional way) is minimally disruptive to the hive and non-destructive; and c) if the bees don't like the conditions of their hive e.g. because of over-harvesting or destructive harvesting, the hive can (and will) swarm and migrate, i.e. it will leave and find somewhere else to live. So there is an element of 'consent', that the hive is aware that they are provided a nice safe place to live and are looked after by the beekeeper and fed during the winter when supplies are low, in exchange for the beekeeper periodically taking their excess honey. In theory, this is vegan-friendly because it is non-exploitative and cruelty free.* (asterisk expanded upon below) However - industrial scale commercial apiaries typically work around this by clipping the queen's wings. This allows the apiary to over-harvest honey using destructive harvesting methods (industrial scrapers etc. which results in a lot of excess bee death) without worrying about the hive swarming and migrating, because the hive will not abandon the queen. They deal with the overharvesting problem (since without their honey, the bees still need to eat) by feeding the bees sugar syrup solutions (usually HFCS) which is bad for hive health and obviously poor in nutritional value. Of course honey produced this way cannot ever be considered non-exploitative as it removes the ability of the bees to withdraw consent by migrating; and it certainly isn't cruelty free, so it could not be considered vegan. Back to sustainable beekeeping: some vegans would still argue that even this type of beekeeping involves a degree of harm and exploitation, because even carefully done honey extraction using sustainable methods usually results in a few bees getting crushed. Veganism is quite zero-sum, so this rules out honey for many vegans because even minor bee death is still bee death, and so it doesn't pass the cruelty-free test. However, there are many forms of sustainable hive, and some such as drip hives are 100% non-harmful. The bees just go about their business undisturbed and gravity does the work - no need to scrape combs, or interfere at all with the hive to extract honey. The honey just pools in gravity fed reservoirs separate to the hive, where it can be safely retrieved. Honey produced in this method does not harm even a single bee so is absolutely 'cruelty-free' and there is a very strong argument that it is non-exploitative. So the broad strokes answer is: - industrially produced honey is intrinsically not vegan by any interpretation due to wing clipping and harmful practices. Only a minority of vegans would be OK with calling this product vegan (on the basis of discounting insects from veganism); - smaller scale apiaries vary in production methods; some wing clip, some do not. YMMV. - sustainably produced honey is very arguably vegan, on a sliding scale based on which kind of beekeeping method is used - certain types of sustainably produced honey such as from drip-hives are ethically vegan in every respect other than the purely semantic, if that's the kind of vegan you are. Many vegans would consider this product vegan unless they were particularly dogmatic or prefer semantic ethics over practical ethics.
I was trying to take a quick nap on lunch thinking this video would put me to sleep, WRONG. You were so entertaining I couldn’t sleep😂. Great video and try to continue eating plant based as much as possible, it’s good for both you and our planet ❤️
use agave instead of honey if you want to be accurate but that is just if you want to be vegan for animal rights if you are being vegan for health reasons Honey doesn't matter
there are plenty of vegan body builders out there you should check out some of their youtube channels and yea don't eat the whole case of muffins just two lol
Plants are insentient. They cant suffer like animals can. Our body can be compared to an animal. While our hairs and nail can be compared to plants. Cutting nails and cutting finger is different.
Non-militant or judgmental vegan here. Honey isn't vegan because it's produced by an animal. I personally don't consume it, but I do hear other vegans do. To each, their own. Love your content man. 👊
@@johannes01 Ive been vegan for 1.5 yrs now. I eat not wholefoods always, nor ultra processed. I dont always eat too many fruits either. Cutting out dairy has significantly improved my skin and hair health. Going Vegan does make me want to eat more quite often, this is because of the reduction of fat from animal products. This is good cuz can replace animal fat with better food. And i do look better, healthier. And yes, loads of energy somehow. I never physically feel tired even after workouts.
I would consider honey a vegan type item if bought from an independant trusted bee farmer. My argument is agriculture is done by people. Humans are an animal in most aspects. So anything bought would be an "animal" product. My brain is weird. But if a farmer is ethical to animals i wouldn't feel bad if i was vegan.

@@___xyz___ I’ve watched a lot of videos of people sharing their experiences with carnivore, and they all say basically the same thing. They were all healed from depression, anxiety, autoimmune issues… it goes on and on. I know our gut health is a huuuuge factor in how we feel mentally, emotionally, & physically, as well as autoimmune issues. From what I’ve gathered, the carnivore diet allows the gut mucus membrane to heal. This is so important because if it is compromised, (leaky gut) then the foods we’re eating are leaking out into our bloodstream, which causes the body to attack itself. Obviously I’m explaining it in an overly simplified way, but it reeks havoc on us. I think a lot of it has to do with how food is made/grown these days as well, with the pesticides and gmo. It’s possible that eliminating plants and carbs from our diet eliminates the reaction our bodies have to those chemicals, i.e. inflammation. Plus, the whole lectin argument that plants have.
@@ambercollinsfitness I also have heard the same thing from carnivore diet participants. I don't know anyone in my daily life doing carnivore, but I know several "vegetarians" and "vegans" (in quotes because some are weird, like a teenage female who practically lives on cereal). The veggies fall into two groups, those who follow it crazy religiously (veggies, nuts, sometimes fruits, legumes, etc.), and those who eat the junk food and are just like a normal person on food choices. Of all of them, I don't know a single veggie person who said they felt good, felt better, or felt like they had beaten a disease or symptom. I don't know if it's funny or sad, but most of them have depression, or some kind of mental health issue.
Purely personal experience, no medical or scientific claims here.
What are the long term affects of veganism? And are babies allowed to be breast fed by their mother ?
Yeah, babies are allowed to be breast fed. It is a natural use of the human body, probably healthier, and no animals are harmed in the process
@@Gm-qc7xy animals are harmed in mass production of everything you eat champ.
Severe mineral and certain vitamin deficiency
@@benstiller5054 That's a myth
Vegans can supplement their diet with additional minerals and vitamins to make up for the deficiency. Or if they have access to it, it is possible to build a vegan diet that is nutritionally complete. Although, this does assume access to a wide variety of international foods which depending on where you live or your income bracket, isn't always an option. @@benstiller5054
It's awesome for a 1 week or 1m diet but cooking EVERYTHING by yourself for long term is unsustainable, buy some organic vegan jogurt or sauce once in a while, you will pay a little bit more but save a lot of time. Balance is everything. Love your videos! 👍
protein intakes are WAY over recommended.
I weight train 5 days per week and get around 80g on average, 5'8" 155 lean and muscular.
I used to think that protein was the end all be all but, apparently, most trainers, educational materials, etc. don't know shit.
I would knock down 160g to 180g protein per day. When I changed the way I eat and dropped protein (raised carbs to offset calorie change from protein reduction) intake to 70g to 80g per day my weight dropped a bit (fat loss), strength and muscle mass didn't change at all. I am sure my kidneys will thank me later for changing.
Now I typically come in around 60% calories from carbs, 14% protein, 26% fats.
Thing with protein is that our body is pretty efficient at breaking down proteins into the base aminos and rebuilding the things that it needs again. Plowing in more and more just makes your body inefficient at cleaning house since one is just supplying an over abundance of amino. No reason for the body to waste time when there is a constant over-supply.
85% or more calories from whole plant foods. Feel WAY better and even a hard workout has much less recovery time. Eating lots of whole plant foods means lots of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds are always coursing through the old blood vessels. Makes for quick recoveries.
Post body and/or lifts.
That's if you WANT to be more lean.
Each person's body is different. For me, higher protein works, with moderate carbs. And low fat. I used to go no carbs high fat high protein. That didn't work. I feel great on higher protein about .7g per lb of bodyweight or about 129gs a day. (185lb 6'1")
Love these vids
agreed 💯 for how long are you watching pigmie?
I think when having proteins just from legumes without any grains(rice or cereals) you end up missing some essential proteins found in grains that complement legume proteins. That's why in supplements, a mix of about 70% pea protein and 30% rice or the other way is usually used to have complete protein
Okay legitimate question and keep in mind I know nothing about protein powder which is why I'm asking this when you guys are saying pea protein are you meaning like piss or is there something I'm missing here I am genuinely curious I'm not trying to be a slag
@@outbackunderworld2004 you typed out "pea," bud. I sense slag-esque behavior
@@VideosMotivacionaisComOGabe actually my phone did the typing I just talked and you lost me between slag and behavior if you're asking what I'm referring to slag in this sense is my way of saying I'm not trying to be a dick however slag in itself is leftover pieces of metal during the process of blacksmithing in which case a piece of metal has been banged so many times sending small pieces of burnt metal leftovers known as slag so when used towards a person it means a person who has been banged so much over and over again to the point to where no one wants those leftovers so in short a gutter slut
vagan chili is good and veggie burgers solve that meat craving problem
Black rifle coffee is the GOAT good choice my friend
basic vegan shopping list from costco and smart&final or dollar stores: oats, frozen fruit, quinoa, beans, pasta, sauces, bread, etc, repeat
that pasta dish you could have added some fried tofu to it that would have given you that meat texture
but for the chili use a vegan ground meat soy protein
If you crave a meat burger just get a vegan one. What is in most meat burgers is so unhealthy, it's not just saturated fat, it's hormones, germs which still exists after cooking, and then animal protein which has been associated with cancer growth. So those vegan mock meats are much healthier than meat. Even if they're overly processed in most cased meat like Beyond meat is better for you than eating actual meat.
Additionally it takes at least a month to notice any serious changes when it comes to diet in most cases.
Also you need to find food grown in the right conditions, some lentils have 24g protein for 100g. IE: KTC Lentils. Also some beans are higher in protein then other beans. Like Edamame Beans, these are high in protein and low in calories too. But you don't need that much protein to build muscle. Plus you can just buy protein powder, if you really feel like you need a lot.
Before and after with different lighting, why can't you just pick the same background to give us a better comparison?
apple sauce or making a flax seed egg mixture would fix your cookies
You nailed it, a lot of pre made vegan food is total crap!
Can you make a video learning the (td raiz) it's a cool move😎😎👌
Love this!!!
To see results in body build, you would at least do this for a few months.
Any ways, I've been vegan for 35 years, than started to eat meat, and saw almost immediate result. A lot more muscles, less training needed to make the muscles.
Researchers have found that Honey ( after Massive Extensive Extreme Researching ) can have BPP In it !
But you gotta focus!
I believe it's okay i also use bee pollon full of b vitamins. At least concisely
im a vegan myself, and i do eat honey cause honey bees are very good for growing vegies and they are a key component to the ecosystem. therefore by eating honey you encourage the farming of bees, therefore more bees exist. so yeah i eat honey cause its not hurting the bees.
ok so your not vegan then
lol i guess@@jayd5715
Ples give me your resipes ples 😁 those food look good 😋
As an "A" rider guy in my bike club, I tried removing red meat from my diet. Easy to comply, doesn't impose ultra virtuosity on others, easy to buy groceries, most of menu available, don't have to worry about vegetable combos for complete amino acids. However, after 2 years my cycling endurance dropped off despite training the same. I had depleted my body reserves of iron. Went back to normal performance after eating red meat once a week. You don't absorb iron from pills very well (vit C helps some). Young women are those most likely to be strict vegan, but also limit their athletic performance the most by not supplying their higher iron requirements.
Women will be worse then, they lose more iron every month...
I was a vegan for a while solely for health reasons. In my particular situation, it got rid of my asthma issues very quickly. My diet has changed up a bit since then. Generally it’s easier to gain and maintain mass while eating animal protein.
The people who say honey is not vegan are most definitely vegan for animal rights reasons. Honey is vegan. The argument made as to why it’s not is quickly invalidated with a little research. If something has to not harm animals at all to be considered vegan, nothing is.
When plants are farmed, even if organic, every creature in the field where the plants are growing are ripped to shreds by industrial combines. Every frog, rat, snake, bird, bug and everything between gets pulverized during harvest. And of course non-organic fruits and veggies are worse because farmers poison the crops to kill animals that try to eat them.
A lot of creatures had to die for a vegan’s kale salad. Tough pill for a lot of them to swallow.
Awesome! Vegan for 3 years now, best decision ever
How long ago did you record this? Christmas decorations still up? Yaaaas haha
Bees are technically beans, same size.
Btw I don’t think that your vegan diet is sustainable, you want to go starch based (Dr John McDougall) not fat/protein based. And do vegan style stats: count macronutrients in % of total calories, not grams.
4 1/2 years vegan here. So glad you’re doing this challenge Cody! So with honey, unfortunately it is common in the honey industry for queen bees to artificially inseminated in order to maximize honey production. You can literally order queen bees online and get them to your door, it’s kind of twisted. Additionally, the biggest thing that makes honey not “vegan” (in other words, not ethical) is that worker bees live to produce honey for queen bee in the hive, so unfortunately in the honey industry, they are known to cut off the wings of the queen bee, which is cruel because youre literally taking away their own natural transportation. which is the equivalent of cutting off your legs so you can keep reading my comment. I’ve heard they also replace the honey with high fructose corn syrup (kills the bee population) and commercialized beekeeping is what’s killing the bee population. Also the point of veganism is to avoid harming animals (as much as practically possible) and is the viewpoint that animals are not ours to use or take advantage of, so the act of consuming and taking honey from the bees is not vegan.
It’s not really a gray area anymore, the only gray area is that not all beekeepers are bad or clip the queen bee wings, which I’m sure is true, but it’s the fact of thinking that animals are here for us to use when we have plenty of different of plant alternatives like agave, maple, coconut nectar, etc. and no, we’re not on a desert island where we have no other choice, we live near Walmart’s and targets and Kroger’s and have the choice to be ethical and grab the almond milk or tofu or agave instead.
Ah come on... I am from Central / East europe. Here we have top grade honey, all natural. Nobody is doing these stuff that you mentioned... eating honey has been here for most probably more than 200.000 years. I am sure early hominids ate honey. :D
Bees can't think, they are not suffering, they do not care about your political agenda.
use agave instead of honey or syrup cuz its good af
it's also extremely harmful for the environment to produce, is super high in sugar, and has next to no nutritional value.
Also somewhat ironically, far, far more bees die producing agave than die producing honey. Agave is a very harmful crop to pollenate.
Taking a shit right now but I’m about to watch in a few minutes bro
I'm surprised how this man never gets outta the table without his shirts dirty

I am so sick of beans or anything want related... So... Tofu.... Pygmie? Do you know what tofu is?

I went vegan about 5 years ago. Honestly, felt the same. In a good way. Only difference is knowing that I'm not clogging my arteries and not ingesting unhealthy animal byproducts. Plus more ethical. Main sources of protein for me are lentils and chickpeas. I train bodybuilding style and have continued to make good gains with no issues.
Vegetable oils and trans fats clog the arteries. Vegan diet doesnt automatically mean healthy. Same goes in the reverse for animal based diet
Lies you feel better as a vegan. It’s like you have more energy after a while unless you ate junk food… Then eventually you start feeling sick if you lack vitamins. I’m no longer vegan but I’m transferring to a high vegan diet and I love it already. I just started after stopping 6 years ago

I'm Vegan. No honey. I hope you continue. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honey has animal protein in it. When the bees swallow it enzymes in their stomach mix with the nectar and then when the bees "barf" up the nectar it has now become honey. So it's literally not vegan if for only the simple fact that it has animal protein in it.
I've never heard this particular argument before. It doesn't make a ton of sense. There are plants which contain animal protein in one way or another. If you reduce vegan ethics to identifying on a molecular level the makeup of any given biomass, then it utterly misses the point.
On honey being vegan: the question is less 'are bees animals' and more 'is honey cruelty free' and 'is honey the product of bee exploitation'.
I'll sum up here by saying, most honey made in large scale apiaries is pretty straightforwardly non-vegan due to harmful practices. However there are a ton of sustainable ways to keep bees and harvest honey, many of which would satisfy the vegan ethical requirements of being cruelty free and non-exploitative. However, different people have different interpretations of what 'exploitation' means; and notwithstanding the practical ethics, there are also those who would argue the point that any animal 'product' is non-vegan by definition, and that's the end of it. This is largely a semantic argument rather than an ethical one, but this sort of thing is important to some people. Others may argue that they're missing the point.
Most vegans would consider bees to be animals for the purposes of answering the is it/is it not vegan question, though obviously there are some vegans (I think, a minority) who do not include insects in the 'animals' category since they don't have a CNS or pain receptors etc. I don't really think it's worth arguing over this point so I won't go into it.
Now for those who care, here's the detail:
Without info-dumping too much about beekeeping and honey production, the rough gist is that conventionally:
a) hives almost always produce more honey than they need, so honey can be harvested sustainably during warm seasons;
b) honey harvesting (the traditional way) is minimally disruptive to the hive and non-destructive; and
c) if the bees don't like the conditions of their hive e.g. because of over-harvesting or destructive harvesting, the hive can (and will) swarm and migrate, i.e. it will leave and find somewhere else to live.
So there is an element of 'consent', that the hive is aware that they are provided a nice safe place to live and are looked after by the beekeeper and fed during the winter when supplies are low, in exchange for the beekeeper periodically taking their excess honey. In theory, this is vegan-friendly because it is non-exploitative and cruelty free.* (asterisk expanded upon below)
However - industrial scale commercial apiaries typically work around this by clipping the queen's wings. This allows the apiary to over-harvest honey using destructive harvesting methods (industrial scrapers etc. which results in a lot of excess bee death) without worrying about the hive swarming and migrating, because the hive will not abandon the queen. They deal with the overharvesting problem (since without their honey, the bees still need to eat) by feeding the bees sugar syrup solutions (usually HFCS) which is bad for hive health and obviously poor in nutritional value. Of course honey produced this way cannot ever be considered non-exploitative as it removes the ability of the bees to withdraw consent by migrating; and it certainly isn't cruelty free, so it could not be considered vegan.
Back to sustainable beekeeping: some vegans would still argue that even this type of beekeeping involves a degree of harm and exploitation, because even carefully done honey extraction using sustainable methods usually results in a few bees getting crushed. Veganism is quite zero-sum, so this rules out honey for many vegans because even minor bee death is still bee death, and so it doesn't pass the cruelty-free test. However, there are many forms of sustainable hive, and some such as drip hives are 100% non-harmful. The bees just go about their business undisturbed and gravity does the work - no need to scrape combs, or interfere at all with the hive to extract honey. The honey just pools in gravity fed reservoirs separate to the hive, where it can be safely retrieved. Honey produced in this method does not harm even a single bee so is absolutely 'cruelty-free' and there is a very strong argument that it is non-exploitative.
So the broad strokes answer is:
- industrially produced honey is intrinsically not vegan by any interpretation due to wing clipping and harmful practices. Only a minority of vegans would be OK with calling this product vegan (on the basis of discounting insects from veganism);
- smaller scale apiaries vary in production methods; some wing clip, some do not. YMMV.
- sustainably produced honey is very arguably vegan, on a sliding scale based on which kind of beekeeping method is used
- certain types of sustainably produced honey such as from drip-hives are ethically vegan in every respect other than the purely semantic, if that's the kind of vegan you are. Many vegans would consider this product vegan unless they were particularly dogmatic or prefer semantic ethics over practical ethics.
