- Thirty days of going vegan is in the books and I have to say this one was a bit more difficult than keto for me as it took me out of my comfort zone. This Vegan 30 day challenge certainly surprised me in several ways and at the end of the day, I think it is a reasonable diet to follow as long as it's planned adequately.
If you have an idea of something you want me to cover in depth, please let me know because I take your requests seriously. We will be back with more Doctor Reacts Series & Responding to Comments so please submit more names of shows/episodes & questions you'd like for me to watch. Love you all!

-Says veganism can be very healthy as long as you do it right
-Proceeds to eat all processed vegan food and vegan replacements
Well... when you switch vegan this is the easiest way.
@@azarilh2355 not really. You can buy replacements for when you're craving the things you ate before, but the easiest way to go vegan is to eat whole foods. Because then your bank account isnt suffering and neither is your body
@@rmatt816 I mean: processed vegan food taste more like what they ate afore, which means the new diet is less alien for them. Also they're usually kinda cheap; and they'll not hurt their bodies more than afore if they were already eating processed food, so health-vise is probably not much different, but it's a good start to switch to a better vegan diet when they're ready.
I have a GI disease and in my experience, processed foods are the wooorst to digest. All the gas and GI upset he had was likely, IMO, from that.
@@emimonsterlicious In my experience, is not the worst, not even close.
The gas problem is due to sudden too much intake of fibers.
As an Indian I actually find it interesting that a lot of people struggle with vegan diets considering that Indian cuisine is mostly vegan plus ther are a LOT of options There is a dish for almost every vegetable!
As an Indian living in Canada with many Vegan friends, I'd say that they honestly don't have much options that are healthy other than salads and stuff. I've introduced many to Indian cuisine and many have made it a part of their diet too, but most people are honestly unaware of the options available to them.
@@binaryskeptic5988 Also Western Idea of vegan means no dairy, while we get most of the protein from milk based items apart from pulses and beans
@@thunderbird4712 Yes but replacing milk with vegan milk is easy. I personally use oat milk myself which has fortified protein. Peanut butter is a great source of protein although has a lot of fat too. I like to put it in my smoothies. Most of the paneer dishes can be replaced with tofu as well. I use a lot of hemp seeds in my cooking too as they're a good source of protein. Need to get creative for sure.
This is why I'm an American eating primarily Indian food! It's delicious and cruelty free!
Not Indian but love Indian food. Being able to cook a lot of different cuisines opens up a veg diet a lot, whether it’s pho, curries, tacos, ramen, couscous dishes and so on. Having a wide variety of spices and knowing how to use them helps so much!
Does anyone else find it adorable that a Doctor feels self concious about his own gas but probably tells his patience and viewers it normal and not to feel uncomftorable about it lol
It's the cutest... but it's so relatable
Gas on a vegan diet is so not true. Maybe it was his choices or his body was not used to it.
@@truthalonetriumphs6572 the thing is that eating a lot of beans and stuff only causes gas if youre not used to it (your body needs time to adjust to digest it most optimally)
@@mariushager9983 vegan is not just beans ... it need not even be 1%
@@truthalonetriumphs6572 but its the thing most people have problems digesting(all the fiber in general
Imagine this: You're a doctor. Its a hard Day, and when you go to see your next patient, it's your co-worker

9:25 - "If you want to disqualify my 4 week vegan challenge because I ate honey, so bee it." Pun intended? 🤔
Are you new here? All puns are intended
BlankCanvas88 I’ve been vegan for over three years and eat honey (not often but I do it)! Actually had a published article on it lol.
Natalie Handley technically honey does disqualify you from being vegan since it requires an animal to make.
I understand saying “I’m vegan except I eat honey” is confusing and annoying to describe to others so it’s easier to just say vegan and that would be 99% accurate but again you would be technically be wrong.
That being said why does it matter :)
@@nataliehandley329 if you eat honey how can you call yourself a vegan lmaooo it is literally an animal product
I don't understand why vegans are anti eggs and milk. Cows would die if they aren't milked regularly. Sure, there probably is some negativity in drinking milk from a different species, but aside from that, drinking milk does not harm cows. Honey is also a weird thing to be annoyed over.
One thing about the vegan diet is it has taught me to appreciate veggies a lot more. I grew up with steamed brocolli and potatos as the usual veggies. No seasoning or anything. Now i know how to make veggies taste good, and they’re amongst my favorite things to eat. Just gotta learn to cook.
I grew up with the opposite 😭 my mother over seasons all veggies she thinks corn isn’t sweet enough so she literally adds sugar to it. still having a hard time eating healthy veggies cus they just don’t taste good. Salt pepper and garlic powder works most time but still not all the way there😅
We have to cook, Jesse
We have to cook... PLANTS! 🌱
brother that's with everything. seasoning makes everything taste better. it also makes everything be worst for your health. if you wanna be healthy most diets work if you reduce the seasoning of things.
@@paulogaspar8295 Why would seasoning be bad for your health? Thats some none sense if i ever heard one
I was vegetarian and I switched to vegan(99% plant based food) almost a month now and my body thanking me a million times to rid off all dairy foods in my diet. I don't starve myself anymore and I eat lots of fruits and all varieties of grains, beanst and veges ..
So good , really so good.. I feel light and so much energy.. Thanks God my 1st time in my life I feel healthy..
I was doing clean keto diet but it didn't last longer , I felt sick and dizzy always..
I challenge you to go zero waste for 30 days😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you for the likes. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I did that growing up on my grandparents' ranch. Burned anything we couldn't recycle or otherwise get rid of. But that would be pretty hard for Dr Mike. lol
@@SmirkJerk that is so cool you did that but I do agree it would be hard for him to do that
I don’t think he can as he works in a hospital? 😅
@@Nick-zc6qu true but I would be fun to see him try to
Burning everything that isn't recyclable isn't really equivalent to zero waste. I know many farms do it so no fault to you or your family but in terms of the goals of zero waste, the environmental impact of burning is significantly worse than landfill/mulching. Simple way to think about it is if every landfill, instead of being big piles of dirt/debris is now a forever fire because all the trash is constantly being burned.
I am not a doctor but I think your bloating and gas problem was because of too much fiber, this is a very common problem among beginner vegans.
Yeah that was definitely it. Usually goes away after 6 weeks, so he was so close lol
Fiber is indigestible to humans; it will never just "go away." It ferments because gut bacteria are eating away at it (humans literally CANNOT absorb fiber; the bacteria must eat it first) and they produce gas. All the vegans I've known have smelled bad lol.
Ya that's chris they meant the feeling
The average person doesn’t get anywhere near what they should in terms of their fibre intake, so if you decide to try a whole foods vegan diet, the trick is to increase your fibre intake very gradually (or apply the FODMAP principles which will reap similar results). Consistency is key with fibre. It will take a little while for your tummy to adjust - but it’s absolutely worth persevering. I used to get colds all the time, but since adopting a whole foods approach, I hardly ever get colds, and when I do, they’re over so much quicker. I credit all those immune boosting fruit and veggies, the spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic etc - and elimination of foods which tend to encourage production of mucus (dairy). If you need a home remedy to replace the Manuka honey, date syrup or maple syrup would be good and cheaper too.
100%. My body was not used to it at first but then it sorted itself out.
I always find it interesting how different everyone reacts to things like diet changes. When I went vegan four years ago, which was for health reason, I didn’t find the transition hard at all. Going vegan actually made me develop an interest in cooking and researching how to make alternatives to the foods I use to like. But at the end of the day, everyone needs to listen to their body and do what is best for them.
It was easy as hell.. and 30 years later I look FAR YOUNGER than all the animal eaters my age anywhere I am!!!
Same here!
@@SlingTv-uo4wnand probably weaker but hey everyone have their goals and pls take some protein supplement
@@Uwhwvwgwh Why weaker? Protein is one of the easiest things to get enough of on any diet, it's calcium that might need fortified foods, but that's easy through something like hemp or pea milk.
Just one bowl of misir wat, with injera bread is your DRI iron and protein.
@@SlingTv-uo4wn do you take fish oil supplements (or any other supplements)?
I became vegetarian in 2nd grade after reading a book of food facts, which also included how hot dogs were made. I realized then that meat came from animals. My family didn't respect my choices AT ALL. I was excluded from family meals. They'd all sit at the table and eat while my little 7-year-old self was in the kitchen trying to cook for myself. Becoming vegetarian was a trial by fire. The entire world was against me but I stayed strong and eventually my family accepted it wasn't changing. Transitioning to veganism was harder for me because I thought it was something I could overcome through sheer willpower like becoming vegetarian. But Dr. Mike is right that planning is critical. The first two times I tried to become vegan overnight and I failed. The third time, I did transition overnight but I did it in tandem with research and planning out what I would do from there. And I've been happily vegan since 2019 :)
Got cured of PCOS with the herbal medicine from DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam whose channel was the primary convincing platform that made me use the herbs..😊
It is hilarious to watch a doctor be embarrassed about farting. 😂
It is! since the doctor himself know that it is natural but unethical XD
@@Dominus_Potatus ITS HELLA CUTEHAHAHA
Makes him so much cuter and endearing.
@sheldon pereira not that he's embarrassed more like that's he's human like us.
I think it's so amazing that he touched on the mental fatigue of thinking about food all the time. I totally understand how he felt.
*laughing in ed*
But that is only because it is new to him. Like any other diet people actually only have a dozen meal rotations that they do generally speaking and they might have a couple of seasonal adjustments. Once you are in your groove of any diet and you are running on autopilot then that all disappears.
wow
@@mariajoy4541 this is meant in general.. not just being vegan. We live in a time of fast and easy and trying make any changes to your diet, especially extreme ones can be mental fatiguing to think about. Especially if you are constantly on the go and busy. Its not always easy to meal prep for every situation.
A good point! But any vegan will tell you it becomes second nature and a complete non-issue after a couple of months :)
I have been a vegan for 27 years and I don't find it restrictive. It has actually opened my mind and my taste buds to a world of new ideas!
Same, 23 years here. -I don't plan my meals, I just eat what I feel like eating and it seems to work for me.
exactly, eating better than ever before
15 years for me with no problems at all.

Doctor Mike it could be great!
I’m an Eagle Scout and I did all the first aid training they’d offer me.
I’m shocked to see how much ‘common sense’ first aid the average person doesn’t know
I’ve been vegan for nearly 2 years now. Great to hear that you tried it. My results found me actually eating MORE and felt a huge energy boost. I had some gas at first too, but it settled after about 2 months. Lol
btw the eating more thing is that most plants have less calories so you had more volume but im glad ythat youfeel great
Veganism cured my relationship with food. I fell for the “bro-science” of high protein, low carb, caloric deficit for many years and it messed my health up so bad. Most notably, as a woman, my reproductive health suffered immensely. When I went vegan, I reversed my endometriosis, had a happy and healthy pregnancy, periods don’t hurt whatsoever! AND I’m eating 2300+ calories a day without putting on a pound! I’ve been able to maintain my weight at a healthy BMI (at the lower end of a normal BMI). I’m never going back to eating animal products that’s for sure!
I assume the benefits of turning vegan vary from person to person? for me I don’t see any real benefit from not eating meat- I mean, it’s delicious and has protein, which I need since I lead a very active life
I’m just curious as to how there’s benefit, but it probably depends on the person; someone I know had opposite effects when they turned vegan and it sucked for them
@@vexarotof course it does. every one is different and we all descend from different ethnic backgrounds so food choices are different for us. personally i thrive off vegetable proteins. i keep that my main protein and eat white meat and fish on occasion. lots of people dont actually know how to go vegan and think it’s as simple as plucking out the chicken from your plates that’s probably why it sucked for your friend but if not it probably wasn’t meant for them
@@vexarotno animals are needlessly harmed.
When you start following a vegan diet you will bloat and you know… but eventually your body will get used to bigger amount of fiber and and those things will go away. I’ve been vegan for 4 years now, and when i was on 2nd month i guess it stopped bothering me and i don’t experience it anymore🙂
You’re right! It takes time for your body to adjust to a new diet. Any kind of diet!
and i mostly eat non processed meat and im also fine and healthy. there is no correct diet unless you eat only processed junk with a ton of suger and other chemicals ofc
Thanks for contributing to not killing innocent animals get killed
The first hurdle of the abundance of gas is something that is totally difficult to prepare for! I was vegan for about 3 years. After the first few months, the gas subsided and even stopped smelling all that much after a year.
your on the suicide diet
This is basically 12 minutes of Mike having a crisis about being vegan lol

Vegan for 2+ years here.I totally understand these struggles. And I feel like because you probably transitioned overnight, it's normal that soo many stuff felt off. Ideal with be to start swapping animal products with vegan ones step by step and hopefully that would smooth the transition. :) And as for the meal prep - absoluetly true, and almost a necessity if you want to be sure that you are getting all the important nutrients and not undereating or eating junk food that messes with your body. Soo happy you tried it! Love your videos :)
Pleaseee redo this challenge, but have consultations/entire meal planning from someone with not only expert knowledge in nutritional requirements who can adapt it for your needs - high calorie & protein but also someone who makes damn tasty vegan food.
And maybe less emphasis on the processed vegan products.
A doctor: OMG it's so embarrassing talking about feeling gassy
Also doctors: when did you poop, how did you poop, can you put a bit of poop in this jar and keep it in the fridge overnight then hand it to a stranger, then we'll have a look at your bottom, and btw what did your vomit look like?
My doctor told me to put my poop in his mailbox!!! xD
you need time to change microbiome without producing gas
I'm studying nursing, and whenever a patient poops, we have to document the size, colour, odour and consistency
@@Rose-hh7mk I'm sorry, I'm just imagining a person seriously staring at poop, trying to measure it with a ruler.
🙃 I'd tell my doctor to shove it where poop comes from. I'm not putting POOP in my FRIDGE.
I don’t eat out anymore because the vegan options where I live are so limited. I try to cook everything from scratch, and this is helping me cut out plastic waste too.
It's better to eat at home anyways
You don't need vegan junk options. You need fruits and veggies
Eating vegan means nothing is cooked, right?
@@MadalinaAntonia si carne. Vorba romanului. Porcul e cea mai buna leguma
@@alexandraalbertz1442 Eating vegan means not eating animal products. You could eat cooked.
During my vegan year, my energy levels were through the roof and it felt like I had super powers compared to my usual self. I was working out diligently, rock climbing, cooking most of my meals, and excelling at everything, really.
I was whole food plant based for 25 years. I had a mental breakdown a year ago and went to see the doctor. I was deficient in many nutrients, iodine being extremely low. I began incorporating eggs and grass fed/A2/organic dairy, while still maintaining a high vegetable intake. It took a few months, but my numbers finally came back into normal range. I feel much better. Using conventional dairy makes me sick and mucousy, but as long as it is non-homogenized, light pastuerized, grass fed, A2 protein and organic, my body is thriving!
"If you want to disqualify me from the 4 week vegan diet because I ate honey, so bEE it"
Sorry just had to point that out xD
Good one!
tjQueen uno I would have pointed it out too girl I would have pointed it out too
Sorry young one, part of vegan is animal friendly, and those poor bees make that honey for the cold months. It stresses them out. And most people should know how important bees are to the eco system.
@@kevinisbell1867 honeybee is suffering not because of we take some honey, but because of monocrop agriculture. Pesticides and most of monocrops are not suitable for harvesting nectar! Think about it. But honey itself is pretty much vegan since it's just a plant nectar fermented by yeast and honeybee's stomach enzymes.
@@thewhite8uard I never thought of it that way with the pesticide. That probably is a bigger problem than people taking honey from them. And most honey is probably farmed and not from the wild. But in a way its still not vegan because even the farm processes are still cruelty to animals and its still an animal product. And its basically bee puke. And to tell you the truth honey to me has always had a slight taste of puke to it. I personally prefer maple syrup over honey as a sweetener.
I literally laughed at Dr. Mike struggling with being able to talk about his gas. He talks about all kinds of stuff but gas is tripping him up.
Chris S it’s funny because I talk about gas and poop all day long with my patients. I guess online it’s different lol
i know as if it was so bad,,,,,gas is a good sign and going to poop is even better helloooooo and its all thanks to the fiber in plant based foods, not animals. thats why the digestive system works! with your fruits and veggies not from animals stuff.
@@palomeroantiguo6720 Yea, but most of us live among people. Vegan for 4 years, luckily my partner is too, and i have several vegetarian friends how tried several times, even for months, to stick to a vegan dieat, but gas was strait up untolerable. And i feel them. I have resorted to 2 days of soaking of my legumes (every dinner), slow cooking (with a first half to low temperature so to activate the naturally present phytase in the tegument), combu and vegetable included in the coocking, no salt till the and a no bicharbonate at all, and mixing it all up at the end. This is basically perfection. And yet, i still produce more gas than preferable. And i can only eat them for dinner, so i gas out while i sleep. And absoluteli not in the 6 hours before gym, since i still get bloated stomach.
Being vegan (and i'll stay such) I still see this as THE BIGGEST problem of the vegan diet, period.
I did a vegetarian challenge several years ago. Two weeks in I began to notice my sense of smell heightened. I could smell people who ate meat.
I noticed the same thing when I became peso-vegetarian. The smell made me queasy.
@@princessl.d.g. It was really bad when someone ate absolute garbage.

Plant based runner here 👋 ❤. You definitely have to up the calories and try new things! In order to make it fun and sustainable, you can’t be afraid of your kitchen and playing with recipes 😊. Definitely stay away from meat replacements unless you’re out/ have no other choice. It is rewarding if it’s right for you!
first seconds: WHERE ARE THE FRUITS AND VEGGIES?
Amen!
It's mind blowing how open-minded and unbiased this guy is...

And open butted
@plants4passions V you're right. He did say that in the next video 😔. Still better than totally trash talking it though I guess
@plants4passions V so why tf did he feel so awful on it if its the healthiest LMAO, u guys are delusional and brainwashed, get some meat
@plants4passions V how is that flat out not true?
I actually just committed to a one month vegan challenge we do in my boarding school (we could choose from different challenges like drinkink 1,5l water, eating fruits and veggies or doing more and more push ups every day ect.). I’m so exited how it’s gonna go, also cuz that’s just what I wanted to start and try anyway and now I have real reason.
If I remember to, I’m gonna come back here share my experience :)
Oh and also I have been a vegetarian for four years now and I’m 14 year old
So???
I love the video, but as a vegan, a can assure that 1 month is nothing close to reality of being vegan, because the first month is the hardest. It gets so good later, you even forget you are vegan, or that animal products are an option. Personally, my energy level and gym lifts skyrocketed.
Until you deplete your body's nutrient stores & the deficiencies kick in.
Muscular like Zhanna D'Art, huh?
Fully support veganism in other aspects of my life (e.g. vegan skincare, clothing, etc.) but being nutrient-deficient since birth, the vegan diet just isn't for people like me. Absolutely love vegan recipes, though (sometimes they're even tastier than regular food).
@@capture_diaries Since animals are killed for their meat, you might as well use their inedible parts for other products (e.g. clothing & skin-care). Synthetic substitutes are worse for the environment.
@@lindymerry38 You didn't watch the video, did you? You do not loose any nutrients with a vegan diet if you do it correctly. Of course you have to adjust your recipes but that's it. And things like vegan protein powder have been on the market for years and it works just as well 🤷♂️

Hello! This is my first time ever commenting on a TH-cam video, but I had to reach out. I absolutely love that you did a video on this (although it seems I am 3 years late to this party). I have personally been a vegetarian for over 13 years and I definitely understand where you are coming from as far as both will power to do other things as well as your body adjusting with added flatulence. I can say from personal experience, both of those DO get better with time, and eventually it will be completely second nature so you are not putting in so much mental effort into your diet. I was a vegetarian for about 5 years before becoming vegan for a year and I experienced the same stomach problems making EACH transition. It was odd, but it did go away after a few weeks of getting readjusted. My diet is so much a part of me now I barely even think about it, so no extra energy is being used forcing myself to eat a certain way. Obviously you know what's best for your needs, and I am definitely not trying to convert anybody, but know IT DOES GET EASIER.
not easier to everyone, but for some it is
facts!
I've been whole food plant based for 5 years. I experienced the gas and bloating for my first month and it sucked, I honestly almost went back but i'm glad I stuck it out. I recently came across a podcast with Rich Roll and Simon Hill were they discuss the issues of drastically increasing your fiber intake very quickly. There are a lot of research findings that indicate slowly going plant based or introducing fermented foods can help a lot!
8:50 "I went to see a doctor."
Wow you go to a Doctor.
You act like that’s not normal
It's doctor-ception

It's of best interest even for medical professionals (like doctors) to see other doctors - helps avoid bias :p

@Aniruddh Sharma Vegans do breastfeed; mother's milk is considered vegan...
Sunita Birwal 🤣🤣
@Aniruddh Sharma I'm not vegan, but mate, you should really do some basic research before calling anybody ridiculous. No vegans I ever heard of are against breastfeeding at all, where did you even get that? In fact, if anything, I heard of many vegans breastfeeding for longer than usual, until the baby weans off naturally or something, not sure what the proper terminology is. Anyway, longer than your average mom. And the reason why vegans stay away from dairy is the ethical issues, same as all other restrictions they have. Cows are mammals, so in order for a cow to produce milk she needs to get impregnated (artificially) and shortly after giving birth the calf is taken away and the milk she produces is taken. The calf is either taken to the veil industry, raised to repeat the mother's fate (if female) or just killed. Those cows also obviously live in shitty conditions, get impregnated as often as possible and have way shorter lifespans than they would naturally (because it's not profitable to let them live for long). Vegans don't think that is appropriate to treat animals like this, same as most "regular" people wouldn't like the idea of same thing happening to dogs/cats. I hope that was somewhat helpful!
I'm actually allergic to red meat, I come from a family that primarily ate red meat, so watching this video and recommending primarily plant, with some fish and chicken has been extremely helpful to me thank you.
are you still allergic to red meat ? cause you've benn missing out ribs in my opinion.
@@kartikadewi3270 Tahu dan Tempe Bacem, is way better than animal ribs tbh. Plus the fermented tempe helps with gut health and you don't get the health issues as you would from meat. Indonesia have so many amazing plant recipes.
I am late to the party but from my experience the first few weeks are the hardest because we all are so controlled by our habits. After this first couple weeks it gets easier an easier till you can't understand why not everybody is doing it. This last point is probably one reason for the fights between vegans and non-vegans.
A Tip for people who want to look into vegan food: try ist once every week and after a while maybe do it full time, as long as you feel happy about it.

Most people don't understand what vegan actually is.
It's not just vegetables, u can still eat pancakes, fries, 'meat', lasagne, chocolate, pasta whatever! Sometimes u just need other ingrediënts.
For pancakes you'll need to find a substitute for the eggs and milk, cause they're from animals.
And so on.
The gas doesn’t last! It’s mainly because your gut micro biome isn’t used to a vegan diet, it usually stops after a few months.
Decision fatigue also goes after a few mouths as it becomes second nature

Yeah I felt the same way when I was vegan-I believe the excess fiber really puts the digestion into light speed causing excess gas (but tbh I already have a fast metabolism and pass gas frequently 😂) I noticed that bathroom trips were much *ahem* easier however.

Lol what part of her comment was she stating a fact? She just made a suggestion and put it in caps for emphasis
Usually when vegans struggle with gas it's because they're eating too much fibre 🤷♀️ EDIT: Guys I didn't expect anyone to even respond to my comment. I should have worded things more carefully and been clearer. A dramatic increase in fibre will obviously cause problems, but theres also some people who are just having too much. Check out Wheezy Waiter's recent video on trying veganism. He talks about having to dial it back.
People aren't usually used to processing high amounts of Fibre like out body is built for... But we do get the ability back after about 2 months
Also lots of fruit
Everything on the vegan diet has fiber except soy yogurt or tofu or somethin
Gas is not a long term problem on a vegan diet.
Tyler Gagnon lol our body is NOT built to consume lots of fibre - please stop
I was forced to be vegan by my mom for 1.5 years, so I actually enjoyed watching this, and everything is so true,
the only thing that wasn't told, u need to take vitamins cause u will be short of them.
For example, vitamin b12 which is mostly in non-vega food like meat, eggs, fish etc.
b12 is not mostly in meat
@@cuandobajalamarea mostly in "non-vega food" "LIKE" meat, eggs, fish, etc.
Please read.
yup, supplements are important! i have a supplement that contains b12, d3, and omega-3s. and of course you've gotta watch your nutrition in general in usual foods, make sure you're getting iron and whatnot
Even animals raised for meat, milk or eggs are given B12 supplements only. So either way you're consuming supplements
@@therealgrimreaper68 Yeh I know, but there are also other things in meat, that u need
I went lacto-vegetarian for 3 years and then became vegan. I noticed more gassy-ness for about two months when I became vegetarian but not after becoming vegan. Also, when I stopped taking dairy, my acne became so much better. That's just a side benefit though. The main advantage: reduced animal abuse and caring for our planet :)
I wonder if its because humasn cannot digest plants fully as it contain cellulose.
@@jeycalc6877I'd say it's more to do with Microbiome. The prebiotics in fibre increase good gut bacteria adept at helping to break down plants more efficiently, hence less gas. For someone eating less plant foods and suddenly going veggie, It may take a little while for the bacteria colonies to adjust.

The thing with honey is that even though we don’t force bees to make it, it is their food and doesn’t belong to us. And of course, bees, like any other sentient creature, can be treated unethically. So generally, if a vegan is strict enough to avoid honey, that’s why.

Joonha Shcal Careful with that high fat diet in the long term. Watch Dr. Esselstyn and Dr Campbell's videos about China Study. Take care of your heart mate!
In 2017, somebody challenged me to go vegan. I was brought up Ukrainian Canadian, one thing you'll see in all Ukrainian Canadian households where I live is that beef, chicken and pork are the life force, they gave their lives to feed us and we have them with every meal. But, regardless I went vegan and the most surprising thing happened during my last week on the treatment. One day, I woke up feeling light, not like I'd lost weight but my mind was bright, I was happy, chipper, and had energy stores galore. It was like I'd spent my entire life with a loaded hockey bag on my shoulders 24/7 and someone lifted it off.
Now, I didn't stay vegan, but I didn't regress far either. I went to vegetarianism where dairy is allowed, fish is allowed, and you can eat meat once a month and that's where I've been ever since. I still like beef and I love curried goat, but it's better saved for once a month.
For the bloating and gas, chai tea. Black chai tea is a good fix for any GI issues, it doesn't solve any of them but it pushes them to the background until you can deal with them.
Include ginger garlic tumeric pepper and cook vegetables more so you won't feel gas.. also in dals and lentils add asafoetida

A plant-based/vegan diet is best when doing mostly whole foods rather than fo-meat or processed snack foods/ take out orders. I know this video is older but :) it is a good one! The gas and gut sounds were from the surge of total fiber, can take several weeks-months to gradually adapt.
Challenge: Do this Vegan challenge again, but maybe a vegan partner and with a proper nutritionist who teaches you HOW TO COOK and MEAL PREP, without being so dependent on processed snacks!
100000% YES!
Absolutely. My son pops a Tofurkey in the oven and thinks it's healthy. It's PROCESSED. I've talked myself to death with him and he won't admit that if he's not actually cooking with fresh ingredients, he is in fact, eating garbage.
"yOu DiDnT dO iT rIGhT!!!!!!"

@@gerardinecizmar I know the pain. ive been trying to encourage my entire family to go whole food plant based but I'm making minimal headway.

You can try to have Indian food as it has so many delicious and healthy recipes .It is properly cooked unlike undercooked and uncooked salads which actually cause bloating.I have been vegetarian all my life and never experienced any problem. Anyways, huge shoutout to your amazing channel. Love from India! ❤
Why do some people get bad flatulence from eating beans, whole grains, and vegetables while others don't? I don't get gassy with these foods. But I LOVE how they fill you up and make you feel satisfied. If you're not already, make sure to chew your food really well. I think that makes a difference.
MIcrobiome is another reason other than swallowing air. The prebiotics in fiber increase good gut bacteria adept at helping to break down plants more efficiently, hence less gas. For someone eating less plant foods and suddenly going veggie, It may take a little while for the bacteria colonies to adjust.
So Dr. Mike was a Junkfood Vegan.

as a vegetarian with IBS, yes the struggle is real when the options are lentils, chickpea or beans lol. I have to find other protein sources which is why I cannot go fully vegan according to my nutritionist.

Loving this diet and couldn't recommend it enough. Do your part for the world, then also do what's best for your body!!!
When you suddenly increase your fiber intake, it can cause gas and bloating. This is because the bacteria in your gut are not used to breaking down that amount of fiber, which leads to increased gas production.
For people who don't consume enough fiber, this can be a common issue. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, only about 5% of Americans consume the recommended amount of fiber per day, which is about 25-38 grams for adults. This means that 1 in every 5 people may not be getting enough fiber in their diet.
To avoid or reduce the symptoms of gas and bloating, it's recommended to gradually increase your fiber intake over several days or weeks, drink plenty of water, and spread fiber intake throughout the day. It's also important to choose fiber-rich foods that are easier to digest, such as cooked vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
I'm 27, I've been Vegan for 1 year.
I can tell you right now before even getting deep into this video. IT CAN BE SUPERRRRRR UNHEALTHY if you want
MrsPark Oreos aren’t vegan...
I don't like veganism
KungFu Kenny Oreos are in fact vegan. Many vegans choose not to eat them because of palm oil and the way it is produced. But veganism is strictly not eating/using exc anything made out of animal products. Oreos contain none of those!
We’ve all been a junk food vegan at one point 😂🙋🏻♀️
@@ariannapflederer they're made in a facility that processes dairy lol
Here's the situation, from my perspective. Mike was eating what seems like a lot of processed vegan food. That'll make you pretty tired even on a non vegan diet. You're obviously going to be better off, whether you're vegan or not, eating foods that aren't processed.
If you plan on going vegan, I recommend eating more raw vegetables, and foods that aren't specifically advertised as vegan. So, maybe avoid 'vegan cheese'.
It's going to take a while for your digestive system to become used to a whole new diet. Cutting out a large "food group" is definitely going to give you gas or mess up your digestion somehow, but that'll probably stop once your body gets used to the change. For me, it took at least 4 or 5 weeks.
I'd also bear in mind that a plant-based diet won't always result in weight loss, if that's your goal. There are a lot of plant-based alternatives to meat or dairy, which probably contain more calories, saturated fats, etc.
@noel hopley 100% agree! Veganism can be dangerous if you don't eat the right kinds of food, but so is any other diet.
One of his biggest problems were digestion and not getting enough calories, so eating only unprocessed vegan foods (beans, whole grains, raw(!) vegetables etc) would make it better? Those things are super hard to digest and higher im volume (means you need to eat way more to get enough calories). Seems pretty counterproductive, but maybe that's just me. I tried going vegan too and had to give up after a few months. I used cronometer and took supplements to hit all my nutrient targets, cooked from scratch, but my digestion killed me. Was in pain pretty much 24/7 except in the morning before I ate breakfast and I tried every hack I could find to make beans more digestible. 🤷🏼♀️
@@19Thunderbird94 actually, there are hundreds of unprocessed foods that we eat on a daily basis, and that aren't difficult to digest. Also, veganism isn't easy for the first month or so, because your body isn't used to the change in macronutrients. You'll eat less fibre on a non vegan diet, so suddenly switching it is, well, surprising to you digestive system.
@@ish4638 well, I stuck with it for more than 2 months and it got progressively worse. No sign of my body adjusting. In the beginning I was only bloated and in pain, when I stopped I had diarrhea multiple times a day to the point where I was afraid to leave the house and not making it to the nearest toilet in time. I have to completely avoid beans and limit certain vegetables, grains and seeds. My only plantbased protein options are a few select protein powders, pea based mock meats, quorn and nuts.
@@19Thunderbird94 veganism obviously isn't for everyone. I had to see a nutritionist, due to an eating disorder, and they really helped me understand the risks, what I should he eating, etc.
If you're considering starting again, seeing a medical expert in nutrition is very helpful.
Gas is usually the result of eating something you don't normally eat or eating a much larger quantity than you're accustomed to. It could be something as seemingly benign as a spice or food additive. Generally once you identify the problem food or additive, you need to back off then slowly increase it until your gut flora adjust -- assuming it's something you want to eat.
I can eat a whole pound of beans or broccoli with no problems, but I suspect that something as simple as silicon dioxide in a store-bought spice blend can give me hours of gas and bloating.
Some ppl consider honey vegan. Especially since if the bees weren’t ok with the beekeeper taking the honey they can leave. They choose to stay bc the apiary is the best option most of the time
He protecc
He attak
But most importantly
He pass gas
Has gas attacc*
Tfue
I’m a registered dietitian and I’m almost done with getting my PhD in nutrition so I think I can address the gas topic. When you increase your fiber intake on any diet, it may make you temporarily gassy but typically goes away. It may take up to 2 months. Most Americans (around 96%) do not get enough fiber in their diet. It is best to increase fiber gradually. Some people are also sensitive to cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc) which can create a gassy or bloating effect but can be easily avoided in a vegan diet because there are many other vegetables to choose from (spinach, carrots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, etc). Many people also recommend switching to vegan gradually for this reason as well. Hope this helps!

"It's a restrictive diet" I've been vegan for eleven years now and low FODMAP for eight years. It was much harder for me not being able to eat wheat, rye, spelt and barley anymore than being vegan, but I got used to it. No trouble getting my calories in, even when I went to the gym up to seven hours a week, and no deficiencies. It can be done! But I agree it does take an effort, you need to invest time in learning about food and cooking new dishes.
What made me go plant-based was a combination of lactose intolerance and having severe pain after eating meat. Crying on the floor kind of pain. My ideas about animal welfare developed afterwards, when I could let go of the idea that eating meat was normal and necessary, as I was raised to believe.
I came for this comment
The beekeeping industry is helping to save honey bees so some argue it's ok. Though, it is taking it away from being a food source for their larvae and bees are sometimes killed during harvesting. On a side note, medicine is usually an acceptable excuse, even in religious diets (like judaism), if there are no other alternatives considered as effective
Solutions to the bloating problem:
1) increasing the fiber gradually.
2) drinking water between the meals.
I use apple cider vinegar for bloating, its instantaneous
