I gave myself 3 months on a vegan diet to see, if my bad, constant inflammations would disappeare - since i'm taking tablets for 20 years and doing physio therapy. Same as here: after 1 month I already felt so so much better. So yes, as a 50 year old man i turned to a totally vegan diet. Regrets? Yes. I wish I would have done it already many, many years ago!
@@jujubeatz-mp1rw Yes, but I always had to take B12, even before I became a vegan. Now I also take some additional Vitamin D and Omega 3 as supplements
I live in the fittest/least obese state in the country, and within a square mile of me there are 7 fast food restaurants. It's ridiculous and makes it so much harder to eat right. How did the US get to this point?
@@americanhealthcaresurvivor What state is that? I'm lucky to live in a rural area without fast food (or much of anything) nearby, but I'm still shocked by friends' diets
@@allisonpilcher4461 That definitely helps, as long as you have a good grocery store that's not too far away. And the state is Colorado. We have a real outdoorsy fitness culture here, but it seems like we also have just as much fast food as most places.
Indeed, just look the amount of plástic you produce buying from a grosery store, veganism is a huge help but we need to work even harder to make a change
Yeah! I had the same idea when I saw them shopping from „zero waste" dispeners! The could have just brought their own bags and it would be zerowaste. I try to live zerowaste and I don't even have this option in the normal supermarkets.
I went vegan in July. My cholesterol is normal for the first time in 4 years. My A1C went from 6.2 to 6.0 and the psoriasis I’ve had for 20 years is completely gone. And I reversed liver damage.
@@darthlopez I know right. I get why people are vegan but "meat eaters" don't just eat meat. 😒 I control my diet by including veggies and fruits. It's not everyday I go eating meat

@@gisellecampos1687 once a picture of Justin Bieber went viral eating a burrito sideways. Later Yes Theory revealed it was them who faked this photo by bringing a Justin Bieber look alike. Do watch that vdo too.
Im glad that they showed a health specialist because so many people complain about not getting the right diet and vitamins but never talk to a specialist
At the beginning going Vegan, you are constantly thinking about what food to eat, but after your fridge is full and you know where to shop, you don´t have to think about it much anymore.
@@erastvandoren jep. You are right. There are only bioavaiable nutrients and not bioavaiable ones. And also ones that are bound to antinutriens which do more harm then good. Getting to less nutriens from leafy greens needs a long diguestive track and several stomaches
The importance of understanding how what goes into your body effects you cannot be understated. Me and my family went vegan when I was 15 and I had only a vague idea that not eating animal products was better than my new diet, even though that was pretty much the only change. We still kept eating processed foods with lots of saturated fats and sweets. And I was gaining weight every year. It wasn't until I decided to look into nutrition by myself that I realised the importance of unprocessed foods as well as regular exercise. My family still thinks that I'm under-eating and starving myself by eating "plain" low-fat foods, despite me having a stable and normal weight for 3 years since the initial weight loss.
I've just started going Vegan (day 5) and I'm absolutely loving it!! I appreciate the idea that I can't take food for granted and I think this is the first time in my life where everything I've been putting in my body is super healthy and nutritious. I need more time to prepare food and I'm always thinking consciously about what I'm gonna eat but I really think that is a win. EDIT: Since being vegan for only 2 months roughly my periods are nowhere near as bad as they were! I'm honestly astounded by the fast positive results. I've also realized that dairy wasn't good for my body so I will continue to stick to dairy free, wfpb, vegan, low sugar diet.
Congrats! I had horrendous periods that put me on the floor with a heating pad and extra strength pamprin for 90 min every month. Went vegan in August of 2020 and periods are completely pain free now. Vegan for life 🌱
"But I can't have taco bell. I mean, I can if I want to, but I don't want to." Saying "I can't have that" makes you want the food you're craving even more. But saying "I don't eat that" gives you control.
Vegan for almost four years now. I look younger and have more energy than my peers; the results speak for themselves! Taking the time to consider what you put into your body is life-changing.

It is the essence of life.

Even humar are getting exploited to make a living by private companies. There is a trade everywhere in life if you take something you have to give something , in business, agriculture, jobs, society, govts even in family with loved ones there is a trade everywhere .
everyone takes this as such a challenge when in reality i’ve been living like that for the past 5 years. Indeed, the hardest part is the beginning, the rest is easy.
its easy... but all this social media drama makes me want to chew Bacon. All these Drama Queens and their vegan is lord videos is making this culture have more cheese than a 4 cheese pizza or a baked macaroni.
@@va3413 that's a MYTH!!! STOP perpetuating that myth. You simply organize your food. Would you prefer to look older sooner and have chronic diseases. They arent as far off as you believe. It's easy to be vegan, someone lazy may not think so. There are any vegan places now..there are many vegan foods in the markets.
As an Indian vegan, let me tell you that it's really easy being vegan here as we get a variety of veggies, fruits, nuts, legumes, beans and grains here. Simply remove all animal products like meat, eggs, dairy, & honey from your diet. Simple 💚
Namrata K as a German regularly being in India i can totally confirm that. I love the great varieties of tasteful vegan dishes you can easily find everywhere you go.
If Matt had stayed with the diet, he would have discovered that it gets to be easier and easier. In fact, it's now automatic for me. Also, unlike an omnivore diet, you don't have to count calories to stay lean.
Come again? I'm currently in the process of slowly transitioning to a vegan diet, but very strict on tracking my macros to lose a bit of bodyfat. Why would I stop tracking on a fully vegan diet? This is new to me. :)
@@Jessicagnade Yes you can! That's the best part! I ate somewhere between 1,800-3,000 calories per day of whole plant foods and lost 35 pounds in my first year of going vegan without adding exercise or really even trying. I just ate until I was full. It's been 2.5 years and I still haven't gained any of that weight back, even after adding in a little more processed food. I come from a background of eating disorders, and this way of life was totally liberating. Food really can be simple :)
That depends. Not everyone can tolerate large amounts of fiber, in fact because its indigestable for humans, and most people are sensitive to the antinutrients such as lectins, and the high amounts of oxcelates in most vegetables. Not saying we shouldn't eat vegetables but they have their place in moderation just like meat. Vegetables, canola oil, soybean oils ect, all nuts and grains, are high in polyunsaturated fats which are not that good for us since they oxidize verry easily and have a higher omega6 to omega3 ratio.. omega 6s which are said to be pro inflammatory... unlike fish which is caught fresh and naturally higher in omega 3s.. I know many people who are vegan but not doing so well, and others that went vegetarian instead. Food choice is as much about what is available to be eaten as it is about what a species evolved to eat. And just as fruits ripen, leaves flush and flowers bloom predictably at different times of the year, foods available to our ancestors varied over deep time as the world changed around them from warm and wet to cool and dry and back again. Those changes are what drove our evolution, meat was largely included
@@exoticspeedefy7916 No body who doesn't already know this will listen. Its too easy for them to ignore this sort of information and never step back to look at things with a more scientific perspective. I often find myself flipping their emotional arguments against them and you might find it helps you too. When they're taking about how unnatural our diets and stuff are ask them if they even realize that 95%+ of the fruits/vegetables didn't even exist in their current form until humans artificially selected them, most if it has to be transported from across the world. And where would they have gotten there fruits/vegetables thousands of years ago in the middle of winter? Vegans are so focused on preparing their food and what they're going to put in their body and they're so invested in this lifestyle that its like their religion. Theres really no reasoning with them you to have to argue with your emotions if you want them to listen. Just try sharing a video like this at the end of what you write :) th-cam.com/video/PJnPZgLHHWQ/w-d-xo.html
@@slaynprey Sv3rage. Yeah I've watched his videos even though i dont completely agree with him (he even thinks the earth is flat) these vegans he is showing are only the extreme raw vegans and fruitions. Still, its sad to watch
I am a new vegan and lost forty pounds within three months. I practice whole food plant base (WFPB) and I love how much I can eat. I never feel sick or too full. I have so much energy. My boyfriend isn't vegan but within a week, he noticed that my skin was glowing, I was happier, more energetic and so much more as time passed. I wish there more more options for vegans at restaurants.
@@chrissy_crumbles haha probably not as these people are deluded they think the diet on which mankind was built is now all off a sudden bad for you when it’s actually the complete opposite
@@drunkvegangal8089 Hunting is very enjoyable and very good for your conscience. Eating animal body parts is very good for your conscience, feeling that guilty about eating meat should be considered a mental illness.
@@drunkvegangal8089 Since im a researcher in populations genetics and i know even more experienced people on other fields what i said is consistent with data. Humans and their ancestors have been getting around 50+% of their calories from meat for over 1 million years. That only changed about 10,000 years ago when we started doing agriculture. Natural diet does not imply longer life expectancy though the same way medicine can make you live longer even though its "unnatural". Chicken and Fish are associated with lower mortality rate when adjusted for macros, exercise etc etc.
@@drunkvegangal8089 I sent a mix of recent and some older studies since there weren't any recent studies refuting them. All the following studies show that from Homo erectus to Paleolithic humans, to modern hunter gatherers and even Neanderthals as an extra, all of them had meat heavy diets. Keep in mind that in recent years hunter gatherers started eating domesticated plants due to influence from neighboring farmers and hunting has become harder due to obvious reasons so dont think that the ones who eat corn are relevant. Imagine you were relying on a diet before agriculture. What are you going to rely on? Obviously meat, 50-60% of your calories from meat and the rest from wild fruit, honey etc. Study title:: The paradoxical nature of hunter-gatherer diets: meat-based, yet non-atherogenic "In this review we have analyzed the 13 known quantitative dietary studies of HG and demonstrate that animal food actually provided the dominant (65%) energy source, while gathered plant foods comprised the remainder (35%)." Study title: Associations of Processed Meat, Unprocessed Red Meat, Poultry, or Fish Intake With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality "Each additional 2 servings of poultry consumed per week was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.97-1.02]; 30-year ARD, −0.28% [95% CI, −1.00% to 0.44%]). Each additional 2 servings of fish consumed per week was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.97-1.01]; 30-year ARD, −0.34% [95% CI, −0.88% to 0.20%])." Study title: Exploring late Paleolithic and Mesolithic diet in the Eastern Alpine region of Italy through multiple proxies: The study is on 3 individuals in Italy from 18,000 years ago Conclusion: Isotopic results indicate that all individuals likely relied on both terrestrial and freshwater animal proteins. According to this comparative information, the macrowear patterns of the two Italian Upper Paleolithic and one Late Mesolithic individuals suggest a diet mainly based on meat with only a moderate intake of plant foods. Study title: A Neandertal dietary conundrum: Insights provided by tooth enamel Zn isotopes from Gabasa, Spain: Concluding Remarks: Neandertal isotope values represent an extreme in carnivore trophic levels, and Iberian Neandertals appear to be no exception. Meat consumption is supported by both the zooarcheological data at Gabasa and δ66Znenamel analysis. Study title: Evolutionary basis for the human diet: consequences for human health Homo erectus had increased body size, greater hunting skills, a diet rich in meat, control of fire and understanding about cooking food, and moved from woodland to savannah. Their diet shifted towards grain-based foods about 100 kyr ago, and settled agriculture developed about 10 kyr ago. This pattern remains for many populations to this day and provides important insights into current burden of lifestyle diseases.
@@Yourmyhero1 by knocking a suggestion down as fast you did, you're saying a lot about yourself. instead of saying that'll never happen, perhaps ask how it'll happen or when. there are so many areas where we as humans can work on and reduce the ever-growing problem of waste. it's a challenge. it's hard. however, it's not impossible. whether it's definite zero waste or mostly zero waste; it's better than never trying.
omg I was thinking that too!! the amount of packaging made my heart hurt but change does come one step at a time. I think farmer's markets are the way to go for sure
@@virtualspacenaut My wife and I worked very hard at this, she also follows lots of people that are working towards it and some of them only have a mason jar of waste in a year(which is amazing). But it's still waste. I believe anything is possible and I believe in the future that will be a possibility. I'm right in the middle of this as my wife is building a business based around sustainability. We use as little plastic packaging and do everything we can to properly recycle. Trust me when I say I'd love to see a world promote zero waste. But from what we have done and what we have researched it's just not possible right now.
It’s a paid advertisement. Stupid people that’s think this is done for their benefit and not to promote a corporation and a new market and the lifestyle it comes with. Years back being « vegan » was cheap now it’s the trend of the rich. Smh this is all disgusting.
I don’t feel that being vegan has made me feel restrictive because I discovered so many fruits and vegetables as well as other whole grain recipes etc that I didn’t know of before. It has made me explore and try more foods. My blood levels are great
I definitely eat a bigger variety of foods since being vegan. This "it's restrictive" argument is pretty ridicoulus, after that logic I could say "oh your'e not eating dog or dolphin meat? That's a little restrictive, isn't it?"
I love fruits and vegetables but everyone else in my house hate fruits and vegetables. I have gained alot of weight cause I can't afford to buy 2 different meals everyday for everyone so I just eat what everyone else loves. I'm not a great cook but not a bad one. I need some recipes to help my family love to eat more healthy can anyone help me good recipes to try and help my family eat healthier. I used to just eat raw fruits and vegetables but maybe if I learned to cook vegetables with seasoned maybe they would change their minds.
Eating animals doesn’t make sence at all there’s so many reasons why it’s like there alive creatures they don’t want to be eaten and your mouth isn’t built to eat through all the skin and furry to get to the meat and if you ate it raw you’d die so like it really doesn’t make sense to eat meat there’s a shit tone of more reasons to why I don’t believe in eating animals
Katy Biller so animals can eat animals but humans cant? It’s normal to do so... I’m not saying being vegan is bad because i get it but stop trying to get people to do the same
Tatiana Davila so your saying sense animals eat animals it’s normal no because animals will eat humans to that’s not normal I’m pretty fucking sure I’m not good 😂 why would food eat food ?
@@margf1128 I know this continuing off topic from the original comment, but this is an interesting debate! Because among vegans there's a debate about beekeeping. Some ppl think it's animal cruelty and some don't. & it's interesting because some ppl are vegan for reasons that have nothing to do with animal cruelty, it's lifestyle, or environmental. I kinda hope to hear in this thread from more vegans on where they stand on the divide.
i’ve been vegan for 4 years. absolutely changed my life in the best way. i love the way my life has changed because of eating plant based. so grateful :)
I’ve been WFPB vegan for 8 months and have shed all 60 excess pounds I was carrying along with every annoying health issue I had (constant headaches, heartburn/reflux, dizzy spells, heart palpitations, aches and pains, etc). I started it for my health and for the environment but now I also do it for the animals. It’s a win-win-win!!!
"It's very restrictive." is what you said towards the end of the video. Honestly it's not restrictive because the variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds is way higher then the handful of common meat, dairy and eggs that people eat. Restrictive is not the right word. Challenging works better because at first it is a challenge to understand how to shift to plant based vegan, but once you know how to do it, it becomes second nature. I'm glad you tried it for 30 days. Hopefully you are still doing it for your health, the planet and the animals.
Hillery Chan Somehow I’ve survived without steak or bacon for over 44 years.😳I’m the same lean muscle weight I was in my twenties- 🌱 💪🏼 for decades!! Wendy Walton- vegan

I agree. Just look at milk. Diary milk: one kind (that's videly avaliable). Plant milk: oat, soy, coconut almond, rice, hemp, buckweat... The list could go on forever. And the best part it it's super easy to make at home. Plant-based is the shit, the myth of it being restrictive is just because people are not used to cook without meat/diary.
It did a lot for me in life. I have ridiculously high blood pressure, and it has been the only way to keep my levels normal without medication. That said, I really do love the food, and it brought me a new found love and respect for diet. I now love to cook, and experiment with new dishes. I'll buy products at the store, but I'll often even make my own milks and meat replacements. Hasn't hurt me putting muscle on either, which seems to be a giant misconception for some.
I have been a vegetarian for 17 years and I say to people I'm a "wannabe" vegan cause I really love vegan food and eat as much as possible. I'm inspired to really go all the way!
Hi there, I do recommend being a sceptic and look up things for yourself, and you will find out that the diet i will share with you is actually for your own good e.g processed meats are classified as carcinogenic to humans in Group 1, which is as bad as it can get, where as plant foods are classified as anti-cancer foods. I do encourage to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it). Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death. Best wishes 💙💙💙
Best thing I ever did switching from vegetarian to strict healthy vegan. Love it so much. Also feels beyond amazing knowing I’m not contributing to the cruel CRUEL dairy industry. Watch EARTHLINGS with Joaquin Phoenix
7 years on a plant based diet. It’s not restrictive at all! We get to try so many yummy foods! Hope you are doing well! It changed my life. Off of all high blood pressure meds and reversed my diabetes! ❤️
Eat everything natural. No processed food. No sugar. Cooked my own food. I have lost 50+ pounds on mostly plant based food. I had 4 days of only plant based food. I also ate salmon, tuna, eggs on the other days. My body changed drastically over a period of 1 year. From an obese to a athletic body with 30 minutes of basic exercises like running, walking, swimming
As a vegan, I love this video. Most people trying to go vegan don't do it right and then blame veganism for making them worse. You did it right. Hats off to you!
@@robinlillian9471 fruiterian diet , raw vegan diet, fasting daily, not taking b12, not eating seeds, not eating beans or cooking them properly, not eating sea vegetables or at least take iodised salt, not doing vegan diet right. Don't worry though out of 100 people who start their workout resolution give up anyway with some good excuse. I don't know what's unhealthy about reversing heart disease or diabetes diet.
This makes complete sense not doing veganism right 🙄 lol yea that makes alot of sense since every one's body is exactly the same this dude went vegan for a short term therefore quitting the standard american diet witch helps anyone healt immediately it wasn't veganism
Yeah sure, wanna know why a small procentage of the world population commits to your cult? Its because it's hard to do and doing one thing wrong can cause your death over a prolonged period, it's unhealthy as fuck, and it makes it very unattractive to ordinary people which is why you vegans are a small procentage of the population, it's why vegetarianism is a way bigger procentage of the population because those people decide themselves on what to eat and what not to eat, basically limiting themselves on certain things such as eating the fish but not eating the steak, and trying to stick to vegan foods as much as possible but still always sliding that fish or steak down their mouths every once in a while. This is way more healthy than true vegan.
I've been vegan for 7 years. That feeling of thinking about what you need to eat constantly, goes away after you are comfortable doing it and know your favs, then it becomes routine. For me it was around the second and third year where I didnt think about it at all anymore. That's also where I noticed some major healing as well. Patience is key 👌 Consistency, a sense of adventure, and patience make it a good time 🌱
Lala Lady VK how did your social life change? I try to have my friends/bf include vegan restaurants in our outings but I just end up being the odd one out. I don’t want to completely drop all my friends/break up with my bf but my health comes First.

@@cookiebabe41111 Normally in most restaurants there are a few vegan options or vegetarians options that can be transformed to vegan, have a look at the menu before going and look for sides/startes or mains that are vegetarian where the only non vegan thing is cheese and ask for them to serve it without the cheese
I’m only part-time vegan as full veganism didn’t work for me but I’ve loved how being vegan has made me more mindful about food. I’m more mindful about the kinds of foods, it’s quality, it’s source and nutritional value.
I feel like people always make fun of vegans and assume the worst, but it's honestly such an incredible change for your body. I've been vegan for less than one year, but vegetarian for 11 and cutting our dairy really made a huge impact. Even if you eat a few meatless and dairy-less meals a week, that's a start!
This might be a silly question, but what are some standard meals you eat while vegan? What are your go tos that you must have in the fridge. Im having trouble transitioning because all I can think of are steam veggies and rice
I would say with the benefit of hindsight, don’t go vegetarian as a transition, go dairy-free as a transition. Dairy has no benefits, but meat does. Biggest mistake ever is to eat less meat and more dairy to compensate.
@@jjackson2400 keep a protein sources available. That is beans, lentils, peanuts, tofu and other nuts and seeds. Smoked tofu is awesome, that give a nice flavor. Also have some replacement meats, they are not the healthiest but the right ones taste great and change up your meal plan. In my opinion a well balanced vegan diet can include some of these processed foods. It will still be healthier than 80% of other people's diet.

I went vegetarian/mostly vegan as a 30 year old in the Army. Without changing my workout regimen, I attained and maintained the highest physical fitness score out of 170 people (mostly young people 18-25) in my unit. I felt better and performed better. I have a stronger libido as well LOL. Edit: I don't even miss eating meat anymore. You can make some really tasty veg foods. Edit 2: @rivoncz I believe my improvement was because of my diet. I was following healthy dietary choices before I changed, but only experienced drastic physical improvements when I changed. One thing with the army, is that they consistently measure you physical fitness mathematically over the course of a career (12 years for me). That being said, I physically could look at my improvement on paper and compare it to before I went plant based. Take into account that I only went plant based during the 2nd half of my career, and that is when i began outperforming everyone physically in my 30s. I could be just saying this (I'm not), but I like to believe that people who subscribe to Yes Theory are honest people with shared goals for positivity (lying isn't positive IMO). Changing my diet was uncomfortable, but by seeking discomfort I feel as if I've improved, and am better off for it. I hope this is helpful, and have a great day!
yeah I braced myself to be deprived and i eat better than ever! And rare steak used to be my favorite food - and sushi too - now i'm like kind of disgusted by the things i used to eat ! I love eating more than ever and i never feel heavy and stuffed after eating even if I eat a lot. I used to get really sluggish after all the meat-dominated meals.
@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094, do you really think it's only caused by the vegan diet? Could be also caused because you simply started eating food with better nutrient balance etc. If you tried eating better with normal food including meat you could probably get the same results.
rivoncz nah, as a former “healthy” meat eater of 45 years, I can absolutely attest to the fact that a well-balanced whole food plant based diet is the cause of my increased energy, strength, and overall health.

@Hashtag GetRekt I'll think about that, but I want to get back to my vegan ways though I only did this in Ethiopia because I felt everybody was eating meat too much, so i wanted to convice people to stop eating meat too much and go for plants, seeds, and vegetables.
@Cyndy L I personally know that, and I think other people know it too, but "vegan diet" has become such a popular name that it's much more common to see it instead of plant based diet, because if you finish it with "diet" then it's obviously a diet, whatever name you use beforehand.

Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements”_
I "tried" vegan (whole foods plant based diet) for 3 years. The results shocked me. Lost 10 kgs (down to normal BMI now), lowered cholesterol to normal levels, normal blood pressure, got rid of my atrial fibrillation, improved mood and mental speed, etc etc. The list of improvements are much longer. The worst thing is my libido now - it skyrocketed.
@@raginikhanna7641 it's always risky saying it can for sure, however there have been some tests that show improvement in erectile behavior with eating plant based, though it has to be said that they also say that there is no scientific research as to why as of yet. I'd say try and see if it pans out, if it works, brilliant, if it doesn't you really didn't lose anything.
Many skin conditions are aggravated by dairy, I used to suffer cystic acne... I'm glad your skin problems (and the respiratory problems) have gone away!
I was getting chest pains and chalked it up to “muscle spasms” but blood work doesn’t lie and even at 31 years old and not that overweight, my body does not process sat fat or cholesterol very well at ALL. Switched to a low fat low/no salt WFPB diet and it reversed immediately. High blood pressure dropped to 110/75 for the first time ever. Cholesterol plummeted. And the peloton workouts…I had been doing them for a year at that point but about 2 weeks after switching my diet, the amount of energy I was able to output jumped by 2x. It is hard to ignore when it’s so well documented!
Yes, yes, and yes!!! I got halfway through your post and cheered out loud! The exact same thing happened to me. Congrats on your journey and thank you for posting. It made my day!
@@therealkornelis i live in Islamabad, Pakistan. I hadn't met or even heard the word 'vegan' when i went vegan on Oct 2015, but i think even without supplements or substitutes, you jist fall in love with veganism over time. It feels goods, u feel better as a human and a better participant for this planet's tomorrow. Also, yes substitutes are great, tempting too, but it's much better to not consume much of junk or processed sugary substitutes as they don't leave much good on your own health although u still are doing great for everybody else and this planet 🌎.
Good for you! I just celebrated my anniversary of going vegan. I love it, I eat lots of veggies and beans, and look forward to eating my veggies now! More so as a vegan. Highly recommend a pressure cooker for beans, good fiber and protein to keep you full.
At first I found a vegan diet quite restricting but after a while I ended up discovering a plethora of foods that I had never considered eating and now I have a much wider variety of foods even than before
One of m biggest new years goals is to film a video for yes theory this year. specifically a seek discomfort ad. i’ll do for free!! is this a possibility?
Well done I became a vegan after being a vegetarian for a year while going thru stage 3 breast cancer why vegan like you blood test improved also to detox the body from 16 rounds of chemo feel amazing so much energy simply love it on all bases health animals environment 👍🏻 going strong 3 years on no cancer return
I went on a plant diet 41 years ago. That is when i walked out on the doctors and the medical mafia. After being diagnosed with cancer 41 years ago. No more doctors or there poisons! !!!
Hi. My friends mom has stage 2 but she loves meat every single day. I am plant based and want to help her. Gathered some info from some fb groups( related to how to beat breast cancer, too). I want to hear your input on this, please. I think the hard part is how to convince her to switch.
Awesome news 👏👏 I just turned vegan this January 2020 after 15 years of being vegetarian. My reasons are inclined more to get for cruelty free products and environmentally friendly food. Here are some recipes if you like to check out 😬 th-cam.com/channels/gUjbWQ2uXDCBYlkjebwUTA.html
I had the exact same experience went from anaemic to good iron levels on a vegan diet. My doctor encouraged me after I spoke to her about feeling sick after eating meat and also not being able to afford it every night. Spinach is much cheaper and can go in smoothies, pizza, pasta , salads :))

@@worldview730 For the first time in history, we are living very long lives. It is only now that we need to eat truly healthy/whole foods plant based--if we are to live those extra years without chronic disease, meds and surgery. At present, most of us now live the last decade or two of our lives in declining health. Start a med, more meds, more surgeries, more doctor visits, more hospital visits, eventually being homebound or in a nursing home. For hundreds of years it was ONLY about living to see another day and long enough to procreate to continue humans on earth. Now we are usually living 80 years or more. May as well make them healthy, active, fun years--not unhealthy years in decline!
Most vegans I know are not whole foods, plant based. They tend to eat a high fat, some processed foods diet--and look like it. If you are to keep yourself chronic disease free, you need to get your fat calories under 15% of total calories, 8-10% is optimum for those who are not highly active. You cannot get down to 8-10% calories from fat if you eat processed foods. One thing that was incorrect in this video is about HDL. HDL is the clean-up cholesterol. The lower your cholesterol, the less you need HDL. If your total cholesterol is under 130 (it should always be under 150), your HDL is going to drop as well. You don't need as much HDL. No such thing as 'healthy fats' either. Even if all your fats are plant-based, if you are eating more than 15% of your calories as fat calories, you are going to develop chronic disease at some point--maybe later than SAD eaters, but you won't be nearly as healthy as those who stick to under 15% fat calories. For those with heart disease, the only way to reverse it is to stick to 8-10% fat calories, and no animal foods whatsoever. Studies have shown that if you continue to eat some animal foods, or even just a little animal foods, or higher fat (over 15% calories from fat) your heart disease will stay the same or get worse every single year. Only when you remove all animal foods and get your fat calories down to 8-10% of total calories will you reverse your heart disease. And yes, we see it constantly. Those who have blockages don't have them a year or two later. It is not a 'miracle', it is the norm when you eat right. Our body wants to be healthy!
Been vegan for 5 years, vegetarian for almost 20 now. Couldn't imagine going back to eating meat. Especially since I stopped when I was like 11. Been working out my whole life, living comfortably and happy 👍 no matter your reasons for being vegan, do it anyway. It's a positive for more than just yourself.
Xay Sleek If the concept of being good for you is: Stop paying for animal cruelty, stop paying for destroying the planet and to improve your health and lifestyle, then it’s soooo good being vegan. Last thing, vegan food is amazing 🤩
@@responsiblecuisine4974 You do realize, do you not, that vegetables of the early 1900's were significantly more nutritious than they are today. It's been suggested that the plowing up of the land on mass mega monocrop farms is reducing the soil nutrients as well as causing wind erosion of the nutrient-rich soil each fall. Unlike small farms of a century or more ago that were fertilized by organic cow poop, modern farms are fertilized by chemical fertilizers from sources like Monsanto, DuPont and Bayer, not to mention 1) sprayed with chemical pesticides and 2) more and more GMO seeds to grow those veggies with. While it's been claimed that we won't be able to feed the planet's population of 2070 if we don't get rid of the cows, I suspect that no human will be able to eat enough of the future's nutrition-devalued vegetables to stay healthy, anyway.
I'd love to see you guys get involved in ecology I've received my seek discomfort order and I love it, but I was sad to receive the hoodie wrapped in plastic. If you could bring the company towards a more eco-responsible route it would be amazing !
Vegan for 4 years here... If he sticks with it, he'll see that instead of it being "restrictive" it's actually the most versatile lifestyle out there! I've been exposed to SO many different foods since going vegan, and it's always fun for me to come up with new recipes with them. I hope he's still thriving with his plant based diet!
Exactly. Oh no, I can't have meat, dairy, or eggs... that's a handful of ingredients out of many hundreds or even thousands of different things I can eat... It's only restrictive when you fail to realise just how ingrained those few animal-derived ingredients have become such a focus in every meal. As soon as I went vegan I had a desire to try everything I could, there was so much food I'd been ignoring my whole life because of that repetitive habit of going back to the same old beef or pork or chicken etc... How boring is that?!
Nah your argument makes no sense.. How can eating only being veggies more versatile than being omnivorous and eating veggies AND meat, dairy, etc. ? It just doesn't make sense.
Veganism kills more animals per meal than meat based diets. Irony is a **** th-cam.com/users/shortsPF1pQkl-wzM?feature=share Kind of like how solar panels and EVs cause cobalt filled batterries to pile up in landfills, causing slave labor fueled ecological damage that oil companies can't even compete with. The road to **** is pave with good intentions
My wife was having all kinds of stomach issues including digestion. Unfortunately, out of 3 different specialists, still no help. A friend offered her this vegan diet and she tried it. Almost every symptom she had went away in just a few short days. She could no longer digest meats. None of the speaclist advised her to lay off meats.
Arhu yeah? Show us some scientific studies that claim that. It’s a common known fact, our digestive tract takes a long time to digest and absorb meat, especially beef and pork. Our digestive tracts are not optimally designed to digest meat like pure carnivores. We are omnivores, that means we can survive on it if we need it, but that doesn’t mean you should eat it in abundance. It’s a survival mechanism. This is why you don’t see certain animal species in certain areas of the world, they haven’t evolved to be able to live off the land anywhere. This includes animals that are herbivores and frugivores, they are isolated pockets. Meat tots and ferments in our digestive tract, because it is too long, and does not have effective digestive enzymes to process it properly. Go educate yourself. Greetings, a non vegan who doesn’t talk bullshit.
@@cyano741 yopu need a lesson in basic physiology it would seem, our body contain proteases which are designed to beak down our bodies protein and similar proteins, ie animal proteins. Animal cells also don't have an indigestible cell wall, only a cell membrane (which plants also have) that is easy to break down. Incidentally I have both a degree in medicin and dentistry, I think I'm probably a lot more educated than you on human physiology and digestion Or read the story of a person that lost almost his entire gut and could observe what came out: roarofwolverine.com/archives/412
@@southernbrew4252 I'm a doctor I know this, what you tell does not make any sense from a physiological perspective, it makes so little sense I actually think you are spreading lies, pure vegan proganda
It's a GOOD thing that your HDL decreased because your LDL also decreased. It's a misconception that you need to always have a high HDL because when you have a low LDL, HDL (which busses out LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream) automatically decreases because it has little use at that point. But yes, everyone ought to prioritize omega-3 rich foods, and in the case of vegans that would be things like walnuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
@@dittery There is plenty of proof. It's just that as you age, the conversion rate of ALA to DHA decreases (which is probably what you heard about), which is why everyone (including non-vegans) should supplement with algae-based DHA. Don't use fish oil, since it is now known that they have no effect on heart health, and the heavy metals normally present in fish are also present in fish oil supplements. Furthermore, the effect that fishing has on the environment and the ocean's population should be taken into account.
@@mayasetlur5471 Thank you! For sure! Actually for me the weight loss was pretty rapid! That wasn't my goal at all, i didnt plan to lose weight and it just happened. I also gave up alcohol.

Hey Matt, thank you so much for doing this! Thank you for going into this with an open mind, for doing it for a relevant amount of time and for talking with all the specialists and dietitians about the health aspects of a plant-based diet. And thanks to the editors, for cutting all the information down into a relatively short video that´s easy to watch and helps to understand all the facts from the experts as well as Matts experience. I wish that everyone who watches this video would give a whole-food, plant-based diet a try for 30 days.
Christian H I was so happy to see him actually do it the right way. Most you tubers will basically starve themselves and eat junk and then wonder why they are exhausted and hungry. Yes Theory is amazing at going into things with an open mind.
I eat more variety now that I'm vegan than I ever did prior. Never felt better, I look younger, literally 100% positive results across the board. Wish I woke up sooner.
A vegan diet can be overwhelming at first, especially when you switch overnight, but it gets way easier with time. I haven't eaten animal products in almost 6 years and I literally don't think about anymore because I know by now what works and what doesn't. If you switch to a vegan diet overnight it'll be really hard tbh. If people want to try, I think doing it in small steps would be easier. Like being vegan for just one meal, or for one day. & you can slowly start replacing the animal products with vegan products (that way it isn't a huge adjustment in your budget and eating habits all at once).
Reply back to this comment every year for the next 4 years, i will bet you eat meat in that time. Sooner or later you will end up like all of the vegans out there who are in terrible health. If not you will become either a very mean person or very depressed...
@@kameljoe21 I was not expecting that comment haha. I don't eat the stereotypical vegan diet like they show in this video. The plant based, whole food diet isn't really that healthy tbh. I eat a lot of cooked foods and more than just vegetables haha. I think it'd be impossible for anyone to just eat vegetables like a lot of the vegan documentaries try to make it seem (which I personally think is why so many vegans fail, because they're being too restrictive). I hope in 4 more years I won't have eaten meat still, but I guess i'll wait and see. & if I do eat meat again i'll think of your comment.
@@andrewharmony Thanks for the reply back. Vegan diets can work for short term, Yet in the long term can end badly. My only suggestion is to maybe add a few eggs once or twice a month, and maybe a fish. You do not have to go full on meat eater... My only question is really is why? Are you doing this diet because of ethical reasons or diet reason. If its ethical, then maybe ponder if what you are doing is really helping the cause. Or is this more of a society ( doing it because A': no one in your area is vegan B: because you want to belong to that group) vegan. Those are the 3 main types of vegans that I know of and mostly talked about.
How do you get your vitamin a d e k2 b12 iron and amino acids in their available form? You can only absorb like 5-10% non heme-iron from plants. Heme-iron only found in animal foods can be absorbed for 80 to a 100% its the same with vitamin k1 and k2.
Vegan pegan we tried a vegan diet and initially also thought that it might be very limited. Guess we just weren’t paying attention to those specific products when we went grocery shopping. But yeah, not restricted at all.
Tamara Liscaljet I agree with you. When I ate meat, I ate the same things over and over again. Burgers, chicken and steak when I went out to eat. Now I eat so many different things that you never get bored with your food.
As someone that lives a full on keto diet, I respect the way in which you approached this, it terrifies me when my vegan friends eat just processed foods, and they are all badly overweight. I did actually switch to a vegan diet before keto, it didn't work for me, but respect, great video. One thing that worries the hell out of me, fructose consumption.
4 years vegan and not dead from deficiencies. Pay no heed to any trolls Just eat a wide variety of different plants, make sure and get enough calories. Cronometer is a great app for people new to plant based eating. Good luck
I take care of my immune system by not eating meat or dairy or table sugar. I know i could hug someone that is sick. And never get sick because of it. I wouldn't do that because i wouldn't want to be a carrier. I have no fear of any virus.for myself !

@@herbbowler2461 this is why the world is failing you think eating a non meat or dairy diet will mean you can’t get sick. And it’s not just a virus it kills listen I’m young but if my mum were to get it and die it’s probably because of people like you who are to ignorant to care
I went vegan in 2018 and my health improved, but I reverted back to the standard American diet and my old habits as a fat person. 9 days ago my fasting blood sugar while on 2 max doses of meds ranged 330-440 and my blood sugar wouldn't drop below 295 at all. I started eating WFPB veggies and fruit and low fat. My blood sugar has dropped so far to fasting 195 and averaging 99-140 throughout the day.
I feel that the biggest push for veganism will come when people know how to make tasty vegan dishes. For example - India has the most delicious vegetarian dishes and that's why the biggest vegetarian population base. Even the non-vegetarians here do not eat meat frequently.
@@aspirewot8408 no i didn t say that eating milk or eggs doesn't support animal abuse but how can you be so hypocritical to say that being vegetarian is the same thing as eating meat, cause it s fucking not, it has a lot of benefits and if someone wants to start off easily by going vegetarian first just let him do that tf is your problem
@@iovubrb I think he ment ethical. From that perspective you either support animal abuse in an early stage (milk,eggs) or at the end (meat). Healthwise it is definitely not better overall to eat milk, cheese & eggs than meat. While an egg CAN be very nutritious (as meat CAN be) milk is just garbage. Again I'm not talking religion or something, this is the current state of science
This is probably one of my favorite "going vegan for ___ days" videos ever. I loved how open he was to it, and how much he researched the lifestyle and consulted with other people. I have been vegan for about 4 years now, and its probably the best decision I ever made. You can help the animals, the environment, yourself, and other people who suffer in the animal industries just by going vegan. I'm really glad Yes Theory covered such an important topic!!
I'm sorry, but this video is bad information. Here is a comment I'm posting around, because this channel has LIED to you: This is a propaganda video if you couldn't tell, there's wayyy too much wrong here: 1) What did he eat before this? It could have been literally anything because they didn't even tell us. I'll presume: Matt, the butter diet isn't healthy. It's no wonder your numbers increased. If you wanna do keto, do it right, my friend. 2) That bodybuilder is on steroids... 3) The vegan with the fruit claimed that fat increases insulin resistance. Okay, by how much? Is it all fats that do that? Why don't you mention the fats that lower insulin resistance? Not to mention, all I had to do was a quick Google search to see that the first result I got was from a vegan blog. Ask a vegan, you'll get nothing but confirmation bias... Not to mention I've been doing the ketogenic diet for the last 3 damn years, and I know what high insulin resistance feels like from experience. So either the answer isn't relevant or... it's BS! Contradictory source: www.healthline.com/nutrition/14-ways-to-lower-insulin 4) There are multiple statistics I have found [not a single solid source] that have wildly different numbers for how many vegans there actually are in the US, and they chose the good stat. Here's a direct contradiction, from THIS YEAR (2020) and FROM A VEGAN source.... AND LITERALLY THE FIRST GOOGLE RESULT: veganbits.com/vegan-demographics/ You've been lied to. As a non-vegan, this video has made me skeptical that they're paid off by a corporation. Do I believe that? Not really... but why with all the shadiness? It's disgusting and clearly not well thought-out... They did go to experts on both sides of the issue, sure, but they didn't cross-examine the actual points that they made.

The importance of understanding how what goes into your body effects you cannot be understated. Me and my family went vegan when I was 15 and I had only a vague idea that not eating animal products was better than my new diet, even though that was pretty much the only change. We still kept eating processed foods with lots of saturated fats and sweets. And I was gaining weight every year.
It wasn't until I decided to look into nutrition by myself that I realised the importance of unprocessed foods as well as regular exercise. My family still thinks that I'm under-eating and starving myself by eating "plain" low-fat foods, despite me having a stable and normal weight for 3 years since the initial weight loss.

Since being vegan for only 2 months roughly my periods are nowhere near as bad as they were! I'm honestly astounded by the fast positive results. I've also realized that dairy wasn't good for my body so I will continue to stick to dairy free, wfpb, vegan, low sugar diet.

"But I can't have taco bell. I mean, I can if I want to, but I don't want to."
Saying "I can't have that" makes you want the food you're craving even more. But saying "I don't eat that" gives you control.
True.
I like this thought process I’ll apply it to myself and thought process
Also there are so many vegan Taco Bell options. People don’t realize you don’t have to eat “healthy” when you’re vegan. You can but you don’t have to.

Desi ( natural ) Desi Ghee (clarified butter) obtained from Grass fed A2 milk is the most powerful food on Earth. It is the essence of life. Read about Great Indian warriors ( who were mostly vegetarian) nd martial races ( north india) you will know the power of Desi Ghee which was the most essential nd common source of their diet nd power .
vegetarian diet is best nd it doesn't mean animal exploitation, it has proper way of cattles petting like their beloved ones .

Sharon Dsouza Just substitute ghee and milk
As an Indian vegan, let me tell you that it's really easy being vegan here as we get a variety of veggies, fruits, nuts, legumes, beans and grains here. Simply remove all animal products like meat, eggs, dairy, & honey from your diet. Simple 💚
Namrata K as a German regularly being in India i can totally confirm that. I love the great varieties of tasteful vegan dishes you can easily find everywhere you go.
If Matt had stayed with the diet, he would have discovered that it gets to be easier and easier. In fact, it's now automatic for me. Also, unlike an omnivore diet, you don't have to count calories to stay lean.
Come again? I'm currently in the process of slowly transitioning to a vegan diet, but very strict on tracking my macros to lose a bit of bodyfat. Why would I stop tracking on a fully vegan diet? This is new to me. :)
@@Jessicagnade Yes you can! That's the best part! I ate somewhere between 1,800-3,000 calories per day of whole plant foods and lost 35 pounds in my first year of going vegan without adding exercise or really even trying. I just ate until I was full. It's been 2.5 years and I still haven't gained any of that weight back, even after adding in a little more processed food. I come from a background of eating disorders, and this way of life was totally liberating. Food really can be simple :)
That depends. Not everyone can tolerate large amounts of fiber, in fact because its indigestable for humans, and most people are sensitive to the antinutrients such as lectins, and the high amounts of oxcelates in most vegetables. Not saying we shouldn't eat vegetables but they have their place in moderation just like meat. Vegetables, canola oil, soybean oils ect, all nuts and grains, are high in polyunsaturated fats which are not that good for us since they oxidize verry easily and have a higher omega6 to omega3 ratio.. omega 6s which are said to be pro inflammatory... unlike fish which is caught fresh and naturally higher in omega 3s.. I know many people who are vegan but not doing so well, and others that went vegetarian instead. Food choice is as much about what is available to be eaten as it is about what a species evolved to eat. And just as fruits ripen, leaves flush and flowers bloom predictably at different times of the year, foods available to our ancestors varied over deep time as the world changed around them from warm and wet to cool and dry and back again. Those changes are what drove our evolution, meat was largely included
@@exoticspeedefy7916 No body who doesn't already know this will listen. Its too easy for them to ignore this sort of information and never step back to look at things with a more scientific perspective. I often find myself flipping their emotional arguments against them and you might find it helps you too. When they're taking about how unnatural our diets and stuff are ask them if they even realize that 95%+ of the fruits/vegetables didn't even exist in their current form until humans artificially selected them, most if it has to be transported from across the world. And where would they have gotten there fruits/vegetables thousands of years ago in the middle of winter?
Vegans are so focused on preparing their food and what they're going to put in their body and they're so invested in this lifestyle that its like their religion. Theres really no reasoning with them you to have to argue with your emotions if you want them to listen.

@@drunkvegangal8089 Hunting is very enjoyable and very good for your conscience. Eating animal body parts is very good for your conscience, feeling that guilty about eating meat should be considered a mental illness.
@@drunkvegangal8089 Since im a researcher in populations genetics and i know even more experienced people on other fields what i said is consistent with data. Humans and their ancestors have been getting around 50+% of their calories from meat for over 1 million years. That only changed about 10,000 years ago when we started doing agriculture.
Natural diet does not imply longer life expectancy though the same way medicine can make you live longer even though its "unnatural".
Chicken and Fish are associated with lower mortality rate when adjusted for macros, exercise etc etc.
@@drunkvegangal8089 I sent a mix of recent and some older studies since there weren't any recent studies refuting them.
All the following studies show that from Homo erectus to Paleolithic humans, to modern hunter gatherers and even Neanderthals as an extra, all of them had meat heavy diets.
Keep in mind that in recent years hunter gatherers started eating domesticated plants due to influence from neighboring farmers and hunting has become harder due to obvious reasons so dont think that the ones who eat corn are relevant.
Imagine you were relying on a diet before agriculture. What are you going to rely on? Obviously meat, 50-60% of your calories from meat and the rest from wild fruit, honey etc.
Study title:: The paradoxical nature of hunter-gatherer diets: meat-based, yet non-atherogenic
"In this review we have analyzed the 13 known quantitative dietary studies of HG and demonstrate that animal food actually provided the dominant (65%) energy source, while gathered plant foods comprised the remainder (35%)."
Study title:
Associations of Processed Meat, Unprocessed Red Meat, Poultry, or Fish Intake With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality
"Each additional 2 servings of poultry consumed per week was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.97-1.02]; 30-year ARD, −0.28% [95% CI, −1.00% to 0.44%]). Each additional 2 servings of fish consumed per week was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.97-1.01]; 30-year ARD, −0.34% [95% CI, −0.88% to 0.20%])."
Study title: Exploring late Paleolithic and Mesolithic diet in the Eastern Alpine region of Italy through multiple proxies:
The study is on 3 individuals in Italy from 18,000 years ago
Conclusion:
Isotopic results indicate that all individuals likely relied on both terrestrial and freshwater animal proteins. According to this comparative information, the macrowear patterns of the two Italian Upper Paleolithic and one Late Mesolithic individuals suggest a diet mainly based on meat with only a moderate intake of plant foods.
Study title: A Neandertal dietary conundrum: Insights provided by tooth enamel Zn isotopes from Gabasa, Spain:
Concluding Remarks:
Neandertal isotope values represent an extreme in carnivore trophic levels, and Iberian Neandertals appear to be no exception. Meat consumption is supported by both the zooarcheological data at Gabasa and δ66Znenamel analysis.
Study title: Evolutionary basis for the human diet: consequences for human health
Homo erectus had increased body size, greater hunting skills, a diet rich in meat, control of fire and understanding about cooking food, and moved from woodland to savannah. Their diet shifted towards grain-based foods about 100 kyr ago, and settled agriculture developed about 10 kyr ago. This pattern remains for many populations to this day and provides important insights into current burden of lifestyle diseases.
After seeing all that grocerie shopping, here's another suggestion : try to go zero waste ;)
No such thing as zero waste. Even people that try say there's no way..
@@Yourmyhero1 by knocking a suggestion down as fast you did, you're saying a lot about yourself. instead of saying that'll never happen, perhaps ask how it'll happen or when.

whether it's definite zero waste or mostly zero waste; it's better than never trying.
omg I was thinking that too!! the amount of packaging made my heart hurt but change does come one step at a time. I think farmer's markets are the way to go for sure
@@virtualspacenaut My wife and I worked very hard at this, she also follows lots of people that are working towards it and some of them only have a mason jar of waste in a year(which is amazing). But it's still waste.

I'm right in the middle of this as my wife is building a business based around sustainability. We use as little plastic packaging and do everything we can to properly recycle. Trust me when I say I'd love to see a world promote zero waste. But from what we have done and what we have researched it's just not possible right now.
It’s a paid advertisement. Stupid people that’s think this is done for their benefit and not to promote a corporation and a new market and the lifestyle it comes with. Years back being « vegan » was cheap now it’s the trend of the rich. Smh this is all disgusting.
I don’t feel that being vegan has made me feel restrictive because I discovered so many fruits and vegetables as well as other whole grain recipes etc that I didn’t know of before. It has made me explore and try more foods. My blood levels are great

I know this continuing off topic from the original comment, but this is an interesting debate! Because among vegans there's a debate about beekeeping. Some ppl think it's animal cruelty and some don't. & it's interesting because some ppl are vegan for reasons that have nothing to do with animal cruelty, it's lifestyle, or environmental.
I kinda hope to hear in this thread from more vegans on where they stand on the divide.

Sophia Grande Being inactive is just as unhealthy as having a bad diet
"It's very restrictive." is what you said towards the end of the video. Honestly it's not restrictive because the variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds is way higher then the handful of common meat, dairy and eggs that people eat. Restrictive is not the right word. Challenging works better because at first it is a challenge to understand how to shift to plant based vegan, but once you know how to do it, it becomes second nature. I'm glad you tried it for 30 days. Hopefully you are still doing it for your health, the planet and the animals.

I agree. Just look at milk. Diary milk: one kind (that's videly avaliable). Plant milk: oat, soy, coconut almond, rice, hemp, buckweat... The list could go on forever. And the best part it it's super easy to make at home. Plant-based is the shit, the myth of it being restrictive is just because people are not used to cook without meat/diary.
I feel like the vegan diet instills some mindfulness in eating. Makes eating more enjoyable
Truth
Absolutely
Oh yes
Couldn’t have said it better
hell yes! it cured all my eating disorders. obv it's a lifetime trigger to pay attention to. but veganism made it ridiculously easy.
It did a lot for me in life. I have ridiculously high blood pressure, and it has been the only way to keep my levels normal without medication.
That said, I really do love the food, and it brought me a new found love and respect for diet.
I now love to cook, and experiment with new dishes. I'll buy products at the store, but I'll often even make my own milks and meat replacements.
Hasn't hurt me putting muscle on either, which seems to be a giant misconception for some.
I have been a vegetarian for 17 years and I say to people I'm a "wannabe" vegan cause I really love vegan food and eat as much as possible. I'm inspired to really go all the way!
Hi there,
I do recommend being a sceptic and look up things for yourself, and you will find out that the diet i will share with you is actually for your own good e.g processed meats are classified as carcinogenic to humans in Group 1, which is as bad as it can get, where as plant foods are classified as anti-cancer foods.
I do encourage to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it).
Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death.
Best wishes

Yeah sure, wanna know why a small procentage of the world population commits to your cult? Its because it's hard to do and doing one thing wrong can cause your death over a prolonged period, it's unhealthy as fuck, and it makes it very unattractive to ordinary people which is why you vegans are a small procentage of the population, it's why vegetarianism is a way bigger procentage of the population because those people decide themselves on what to eat and what not to eat, basically limiting themselves on certain things such as eating the fish but not eating the steak, and trying to stick to vegan foods as much as possible but still always sliding that fish or steak down their mouths every once in a while. This is way more healthy than true vegan.
I've been vegan for 7 years. That feeling of thinking about what you need to eat constantly, goes away after you are comfortable doing it and know your favs, then it becomes routine.

I feel like people always make fun of vegans and assume the worst, but it's honestly such an incredible change for your body. I've been vegan for less than one year, but vegetarian for 11 and cutting our dairy really made a huge impact. Even if you eat a few meatless and dairy-less meals a week, that's a start!
This might be a silly question, but what are some standard meals you eat while vegan? What are your go tos that you must have in the fridge. Im having trouble transitioning because all I can think of are steam veggies and rice
I would say with the benefit of hindsight, don’t go vegetarian as a transition, go dairy-free as a transition. Dairy has no benefits, but meat does. Biggest mistake ever is to eat less meat and more dairy to compensate.

I went vegetarian/mostly vegan as a 30 year old in the Army. Without changing my workout regimen, I attained and maintained the highest physical fitness score out of 170 people (mostly young people 18-25) in my unit. I felt better and performed better. I have a stronger libido as well LOL.

One thing with the army, is that they consistently measure you physical fitness mathematically over the course of a career (12 years for me).

@@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094, do you really think it's only caused by the vegan diet? Could be also caused because you simply started eating food with better nutrient balance etc. If you tried eating better with normal food including meat you could probably get the same results.
rivoncz nah, as a former “healthy” meat eater of 45 years, I can absolutely attest to the fact that a well-balanced whole food plant based diet is the cause of my increased energy, strength, and overall health.
@@rivoncz I believe my improvement was because of my diet. I was following healthy dietary choices before I changed, but only experienced drastic physical improvements when I changed. One thing with the army, is that they consistently measure you physical fitness mathematically over the course of a career (12 years for me). That being said, I physically could look at my improvement on paper and compare it to before I went plant based. Take into account that I only went plant based during the 2nd half of my career, and that is when i began outperforming everyone physically in my 30s. I could be just saying this (I'm not), but I like to believe that people who subscribe to Yes Theory are honest people with shared goals for positivity (lying isn't positive IMO). Changing my diet was uncomfortable, but by seeking discomfort I feel as if I've improved, and am better off for it. I hope this is helpful, and have a great day!

Veganism isnt a diet.... veganism is a lifestyle that excludes all forms of animal exploitation. Plant based is the diet.
Good to know! Now I can separate myself from insufferable vegans even if I eat like them.

These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, _*_childhood,_*_ adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements”_

Why are we just now hearing about vegan all these years that man has been in exitance? what happened to good old fashion living and eating
@@worldview730 For the first time in history, we are living very long lives. It is only now that we need to eat truly healthy/whole foods plant based--if we are to live those extra years without chronic disease, meds and surgery. At present, most of us now live the last decade or two of our lives in declining health. Start a med, more meds, more surgeries, more doctor visits, more hospital visits, eventually being homebound or in a nursing home. For hundreds of years it was ONLY about living to see another day and long enough to procreate to continue humans on earth. Now we are usually living 80 years or more. May as well make them healthy, active, fun years--not unhealthy years in decline!
Most vegans I know are not whole foods, plant based. They tend to eat a high fat, some processed foods diet--and look like it. If you are to keep yourself chronic disease free, you need to get your fat calories under 15% of total calories, 8-10% is optimum for those who are not highly active. You cannot get down to 8-10% calories from fat if you eat processed foods. One thing that was incorrect in this video is about HDL. HDL is the clean-up cholesterol. The lower your cholesterol, the less you need HDL. If your total cholesterol is under 130 (it should always be under 150), your HDL is going to drop as well. You don't need as much HDL. No such thing as 'healthy fats' either. Even if all your fats are plant-based, if you are eating more than 15% of your calories as fat calories, you are going to develop chronic disease at some point--maybe later than SAD eaters, but you won't be nearly as healthy as those who stick to under 15% fat calories. For those with heart disease, the only way to reverse it is to stick to 8-10% fat calories, and no animal foods whatsoever. Studies have shown that if you continue to eat some animal foods, or even just a little animal foods, or higher fat (over 15% calories from fat) your heart disease will stay the same or get worse every single year. Only when you remove all animal foods and get your fat calories down to 8-10% of total calories will you reverse your heart disease. And yes, we see it constantly. Those who have blockages don't have them a year or two later. It is not a 'miracle', it is the norm when you eat right. Our body wants to be healthy!
Been vegan for 5 years, vegetarian for almost 20 now. Couldn't imagine going back to eating meat. Especially since I stopped when I was like 11. Been working out my whole life, living comfortably and happy 👍 no matter your reasons for being vegan, do it anyway. It's a positive for more than just yourself.
Amazing words👏 I was vegetarian for 15 years and became vegan on January 2020 for cruelty free and environment reasons. There is no way to go back 💪🏻
Is being vegan really that good? Just started myself.
Xay Sleek If the concept of being good for you is: Stop paying for animal cruelty, stop paying for destroying the planet and to improve your health and lifestyle, then it’s soooo good being vegan. Last thing, vegan food is amazing 🤩
@@responsiblecuisine4974 You do realize, do you not, that vegetables of the early 1900's were significantly more nutritious than they are today. It's been suggested that the plowing up of the land on mass mega monocrop farms is reducing the soil nutrients as well as causing wind erosion of the nutrient-rich soil each fall. Unlike small farms of a century or more ago that were fertilized by organic cow poop, modern farms are fertilized by chemical fertilizers from sources like Monsanto, DuPont and Bayer, not to mention 1) sprayed with chemical pesticides and 2) more and more GMO seeds to grow those veggies with.
While it's been claimed that we won't be able to feed the planet's population of 2070 if we don't get rid of the cows, I suspect that no human will be able to eat enough of the future's nutrition-devalued vegetables to stay healthy, anyway.

Vegan for 4 years here... If he sticks with it, he'll see that instead of it being "restrictive" it's actually the most versatile lifestyle out there! I've been exposed to SO many different foods since going vegan, and it's always fun for me to come up with new recipes with them. I hope he's still thriving with his plant based diet!
Right! I cringed when he called it restrictive. I find it amazing and having total variety.
Exactly. Oh no, I can't have meat, dairy, or eggs... that's a handful of ingredients out of many hundreds or even thousands of different things I can eat... It's only restrictive when you fail to realise just how ingrained those few animal-derived ingredients have become such a focus in every meal. As soon as I went vegan I had a desire to try everything I could, there was so much food I'd been ignoring my whole life because of that repetitive habit of going back to the same old beef or pork or chicken etc... How boring is that?!
Nah your argument makes no sense..
How can eating only being veggies more versatile than being omnivorous and eating veggies AND meat, dairy, etc. ? It just doesn't make sense.

@@arhu74 I could careless if you don't believe what I have said. That statement was for someone who might be experiencing the same ailments.
Arhu yeah? Show us some scientific studies that claim that. It’s a common known fact, our digestive tract takes a long time to digest and absorb meat, especially beef and pork. Our digestive tracts are not optimally designed to digest meat like pure carnivores. We are omnivores, that means we can survive on it if we need it, but that doesn’t mean you should eat it in abundance. It’s a survival mechanism. This is why you don’t see certain animal species in certain areas of the world, they haven’t evolved to be able to live off the land anywhere. This includes animals that are herbivores and frugivores, they are isolated pockets. Meat tots and ferments in our digestive tract, because it is too long, and does not have effective digestive enzymes to process it properly. Go educate yourself. Greetings, a non vegan who doesn’t talk bullshit.

It's a GOOD thing that your HDL decreased because your LDL also decreased. It's a misconception that you need to always have a high HDL because when you have a low LDL, HDL (which busses out LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream) automatically decreases because it has little use at that point. But yes, everyone ought to prioritize omega-3 rich foods, and in the case of vegans that would be things like walnuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
does avocado count as a good source of HDL?
seeds are indigestible and there is no proof that humans can convert ALA to DHA and EPA sufficiently
rarthar exactly
@@dittery There is plenty of proof. It's just that as you age, the conversion rate of ALA to DHA decreases (which is probably what you heard about), which is why everyone (including non-vegans) should supplement with algae-based DHA. Don't use fish oil, since it is now known that they have no effect on heart health, and the heavy metals normally present in fish are also present in fish oil supplements. Furthermore, the effect that fishing has on the environment and the ocean's population should be taken into account.

A vegan diet can be overwhelming at first, especially when you switch overnight, but it gets way easier with time. I haven't eaten animal products in almost 6 years and I literally don't think about anymore because I know by now what works and what doesn't. If you switch to a vegan diet overnight it'll be really hard tbh. If people want to try, I think doing it in small steps would be easier. Like being vegan for just one meal, or for one day. & you can slowly start replacing the animal products with vegan products (that way it isn't a huge adjustment in your budget and eating habits all at once).
Well said dude.

Vegan diets can work for short term, Yet in the long term can end badly.
My only suggestion is to maybe add a few eggs once or twice a month, and maybe a fish. You do not have to go full on meat eater...
My only question is really is why? Are you doing this diet because of ethical reasons or diet reason. If its ethical, then maybe ponder if what you are doing is really helping the cause. Or is this more of a society ( doing it because A': no one in your area is vegan B: because you want to belong to that group) vegan. Those are the 3 main types of vegans that I know of and mostly talked about.
How do you get your vitamin a d e k2 b12 iron and amino acids in their available form? You can only absorb like 5-10% non heme-iron from plants. Heme-iron only found in animal foods can be absorbed for 80 to a 100% its the same with vitamin k1 and k2.

I went vegan in 2018 and my health improved, but I reverted back to the standard American diet and my old habits as a fat person. 9 days ago my fasting blood sugar while on 2 max doses of meds ranged 330-440 and my blood sugar wouldn't drop below 295 at all. I started eating WFPB veggies and fruit and low fat. My blood sugar has dropped so far to fasting 195 and averaging 99-140 throughout the day.
I feel that the biggest push for veganism will come when people know how to make tasty vegan dishes. For example - India has the most delicious vegetarian dishes and that's why the biggest vegetarian population base. Even the non-vegetarians here do not eat meat frequently.
Vegetarian is still same as eating meat you support animal abuse
@@aspirewot8408 no it s not the same thing wtf
@@iovubrb It is . Milk doesn't belongs to humans and also it's animal abuse . I guess youre not aware of dairy industry
@@aspirewot8408 no i didn t say that eating milk or eggs doesn't support animal abuse but how can you be so hypocritical to say that being vegetarian is the same thing as eating meat, cause it s fucking not, it has a lot of benefits and if someone wants to start off easily by going vegetarian first just let him do that tf is your problem
@@iovubrb I think he ment ethical. From that perspective you either support animal abuse in an early stage (milk,eggs) or at the end (meat). Healthwise it is definitely not better overall to eat milk, cheese & eggs than meat. While an egg CAN be very nutritious (as meat CAN be) milk is just garbage. Again I'm not talking religion or something, this is the current state of science
I love how a Wendy’s ad plays in the middle of a video about going vegan for 30 days
WOW, HUGE COINCIDENCE. End video: visit gamechangersmovie.com. A 2 hour hippie propaganda
Iris Rdz liar
Roberto Lopez guess it depends if you care about your health or not
This is probably one of my favorite "going vegan for ___ days" videos ever. I loved how open he was to it, and how much he researched the lifestyle and consulted with other people. I have been vegan for about 4 years now, and its probably the best decision I ever made. You can help the animals, the environment, yourself, and other people who suffer in the animal industries just by going vegan. I'm really glad Yes Theory covered such an important topic!!
I'm sorry, but this video is bad information. Here is a comment I'm posting around, because this channel has LIED to you:
This is a propaganda video if you couldn't tell, there's wayyy too much wrong here:
1) What did he eat before this? It could have been literally anything because they didn't even tell us. I'll presume: Matt, the butter diet isn't healthy. It's no wonder your numbers increased. If you wanna do keto, do it right, my friend.
2) That bodybuilder is on steroids...
3) The vegan with the fruit claimed that fat increases insulin resistance. Okay, by how much? Is it all fats that do that? Why don't you mention the fats that lower insulin resistance? Not to mention, all I had to do was a quick Google search to see that the first result I got was from a vegan blog. Ask a vegan, you'll get nothing but confirmation bias... Not to mention I've been doing the ketogenic diet for the last 3 damn years, and I know what high insulin resistance feels like from experience. So either the answer isn't relevant or... it's BS! Contradictory source: www.healthline.com/nutrition/14-ways-to-lower-insulin
4) There are multiple statistics I have found [not a single solid source] that have wildly different numbers for how many vegans there actually are in the US, and they chose the good stat. Here's a direct contradiction, from THIS YEAR (2020) and FROM A VEGAN source.... AND LITERALLY THE FIRST GOOGLE RESULT: veganbits.com/vegan-demographics/
You've been lied to.
As a non-vegan, this video has made me skeptical that they're paid off by a corporation. Do I believe that? Not really... but why with all the shadiness? It's disgusting and clearly not well thought-out... They did go to experts on both sides of the issue, sure, but they didn't cross-examine the actual points that they made.
@@yustwastaken yep so true. first eating like shit, then going vegan no shit his numbers improved. numbers would be even higher with a little meat added.
@@SQERDOMOONLIGHT Why are you assuming he ate "like shit" before?
@@yustwastaken people how don't want to go vegan will always find reasons to not eat and live ethically, like you did with your comment.
@@dtd166 people who want to go vegan will always find reason to eat and live "ethically" for them, like you did with your own comment.
