I was underweight and had a eating disorder... and then I tried veganism, eating as much as I felt full, started building muscle and... boom. Happiest I’ve been with my body 🎉
Same! just a warning that a restrictive diet (at least when compared to the standard american diet) can be pretty triggering though. I wish you the best!!!
My beginning is the opposite. I was extremely fat (238 pounds). After six months (without exercise), I'm now 200.7 pounds and decreasing. Now that I'm exercising, the decreasing rate got even better. I can clearly say I'm satisfied with my body
Same thing happened to me. I'm technically underweight, but after switching to WFPB vegan I not only craved working out more and enjoyed my workouts immensely (that is to say I still do! This fact is absolutely incredible as even on a omniverous diet I never once experienced exuberation and excitement from exercising, yet it became a natural consequence consistently after changing my diet) but was able to generate significant muscle tone with minimal effort. On every level, I've never been as healthy as I am right now and it just keeps getting better! My diet before had me feeling lethargic and sick by comparison. My experience is clear and vibrant now, both cognitively and viscerally. I'm so thankful.
Me too, every dietician I’ve ever had at eating disorder treatment centers has tried to talk me out of being vegan. But I’m now doing really well in recovery, still vegan (for the animals!) and my mental health is so so so much better. Of course I understand that it can be triggering, but if you come at it with the mindset of “I’m doing this for ethical and environmental reasons, as well as out of respect for myself trying to rebuild my body” there’s no reason being vegan in recovery won’t work :)
Dude, you're one of the only consistently decent, engaging, informative, interesting plant powered people/channels left, thank you for the great content
The “do a detox” sketch is comedy gold
Lose Your Veganity creative Name :D
“Got drunk and ate some marbles?? Just do a detox!”
Justin Cogan You must be an idiot
Lose Your Veganity dat name tho
i need to lose my virginity...
I do a daily detox, no meat or dairy :) lots of veggies! 😀🥗😀🥗
M Maddox love how you worded that
That's the opposite of a detox. Vegans are ignorant.
James Hartman you shouldn't have to detox at all something you will likely never have to do while eliminating proinflamitory foods
James Hartman prevention is the best cure and they say vegans are ignorant
M maddox, and I assume no eggs either.
"Got drunk and ate some marbles, Detox" Great video. You gave me that final push to go vegan a few months ago. Thanks Mic.
thank you for being vegan on behalf of billions of animals!
I only eat vegan marbles
Jyarf was
“Hit a child with your car...detox” 😂😂🤣. Sounds like the way a celeb would handle that situation:
“I was so devastated after running that kid over, that I unplugged and went to an obscenely expensive resort to detox and do some soul searching. I feel so much better”
hi, nice profile pic =)
Sim Won thanks
I've been reading the book "How not to Die". And from what I read in that book everything you just mentioned in your video was pretty much explained in the book.
Mic quotes Dr. Greger quite often. I am sure that the Doc would approve of getting out the message in any way possible.
Fantastic book, very interesting read!
"I've been reading the book "How not to Die". And from what I read in that book everything you just mentioned in your video was pretty much explained in the book."
Alkababylon, I congratulate you on getting all your medical information from nutcases who post videos on the internet.
He literally just stated that he gets it from a book written by a physician.
I'd suggest you read it, but given you had trouble interpreting meaning from a two sentence comment, a whole book might be a bit much.
What's wrong with gathering information from someone who has cited scientific research to validate what they're saying?
I’m a new vegan, and I still struggle with the carbohydrate thing. The guilt ingrained in my psyche from years of diet myths is harder than actually giving up meat and dairy. Breakfast is particularly difficult - I mean, no eggs for breakfast? That’s my biggest struggle. But I’m down 9 pounds in 3 weeks and haven’t been hungry or craving stuff. And we just discovered a recipe for portobello mushrooms that mimics bacon and I’m like, I can really do this!!! Love your channel!
general public mostly view carbs as refined sugar, white bread, white rice, pasta etc. not veggies or whole grains.
So true
yeeeeah don't think gut serotonin makes it to the brain but vegan tacos sure do make me happy!!
Oh man, vegan tacos are the best.
I am so with u on that
Ate vegan at Taco Time today 😂 shits unhealthy but good af
Calories make us feel good, serotonin just slows down their use. One can feel pretty amazing without increasing serotonin, in fact, quite the opposite. Serotonin lowering drugs like LSD promote PlAyFuLnEsS. Dopamine is the real happy hormone, not serotonin lol.
jholmie actually the NIH has studies proving that 80-90% of serotonin is made in the gut. Also the vital acids that are the precursors for Gaba and Dopamine come from our gut too. I know this because I'm a counselor and educator in rehabilitation centers .
*Welcome to Dina’s Detox!* now this is a detox I would do. Hit way to many kids with my car this week.
Up from last week.
Took up running, couch to 5k zombie version. My “genetic” fat is melting away, and no detoxing other than what my kidneys and liver are already doing on their own.
The rest of the myths I currently have nothing pertinent to say at the moment. Maybe in a couple days.
YetAnotherVegan has
has?
I'm glad you mentioned these things about detoxing. I watched "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" on Netflix, and the part 2 as well. The guy advocates for a juice cleanse and then a whole-food plant based diet the rest of the time to prevent and reverse disease, but I was so disappointed that he was still sometimes eating animal products... At the end of the day, a steady whole-food VEGAN plant based diet is going to work best and people will be able to better maintain their weight as well as good health this way.
Dweller Of The Earth agreed! That’s exactly what I thought throughout the documentaries!
Dweller Of The Earth wrong. good to eat at least 200g meat per week. fit guys even more
1234 eckstein uh no, it’s obviously possible to live and thrive without meat, vegans are proving this daily
RavenLight not for me.
what are his credentials does anyone know?
#5.... everyone spouts this, including my primary MD who is always warning me not to eat too many carbs on my vegan diet. 🙄 yeah, that’s why my latest labs were perrrrrrfect!
Vegi Grl Do you have the results? I'd love to see your triglycerides. My blood work is also the best it can be for humans, but, I'm on a complete opposite diet to you. I don't consume any carbs, all my energy comes from fat.
Immortal
And how long have you been on this diet? How many calories do you eat a day? I was keto for 6 months and began to get heart pains until I stoppd and switched to plant based. I also didn't lose weight despite eating 1200 or less calories a day and going to the gym 3 times a week and hiking or running the other 4 days. Funnily enough, the shortest living populations are the ones that eat exclusively meat (such as the Inuit who only live on average to be about 40 and whose mummies are riddled with atherosclerosis). Studies also show that children put on a keto diet for epilepsy begin to develop problems such as high cholesterol and atherosclerosis. So you are either extremely lucky, exercise enough to not be extremely unhealthy (much like the cultures in the past that ate almost exclusively meat and didn't die *that* young because they were running 10 miles or more a day), or you are just a bold faced liar. Shawn Baker is all the evidence I need to prove these points. As much as you want to believe that your diet is best, I'm at least 90% sure you would have a better time on a whole foods plant based diet. Our bodies run on carbs, man! Just look at our gut length, gut microbiome, and the enzymes in our saliva and stomach acid. And if you do decide to take my advice (which I doubt tbh but it's worth it to help at least one misguided person) then don't be alarmed if you feel sick for the first week. It is your body switching back to carbs as well as the bad bacteria you have been building up by digesting rotten meat dying off and putting up a fight. That and you might gain some water weight as carbs hold on to water (this is why you lose about 6 lbs when you first start Carnivore or Keto and why you must consume excessive amounts of electrolytes on these diets). Good luck!
(P.S. Look into TMAO and endotoxins, that's what really got me questioning keto and the like)
Immortal And then again, if you are Eco Atkins or something, you should see how many vegans still die of heart disease with high oil diets. Pretty interesting! That and Eco Atkins is incredibly boring and restrictive as compared to how many fruits and vegetables you can eat while whole food plant based.
You might want to rethink that .

TheYakisobaNoodle I've been on it for about a year, but I don't like to call it a keto diet even though I am in ketosis because I don't eat muscle meat like most keto people do. I eat 2000 kcal a day, every day, only once a month it might vary a little. I am really shocked that you were unable to lose weight at 1200 kcal. What's your ethnicity? A lot of our science and studies are done on Caucasians. Different races have very different genetics when it comes to food. I never tribute weight loss or obesity to either carbs or fat, thats just silly, it's to do with calories, although with protein it is a different case. I lose weight and gain weight easily on both fat and carbs diets. Although my weight is perfect, that isn't the reason I'm on a "keto" diet. It just so happens that by trying to find the perfect diet based on chemistry and biology, I ended up on a diet that was all fish (the whole fish with it's organs, not just the muscle) dark leafy greens, and eggs. Eggs only raise your cholesterol if you really needed it, since cholesterol is essential for your cells, hormones, and reparing damage, especially to your arteries, hence why it contributes to plaque build up to keep your arteries intact, but also leads to CVD. Statins are great because they block cholesterol and stop CVD but your arteries, cells, and hormones become impaired. Keeps you alive longer as intended but you are in terrible health; slow painful death. Avoiding cholesterol is just silly. Shawn baker is a moron. He ate nothing but burnt muscle meat and thought that was enough to sustain him. Muscle meat, especially when cooked, provides you with very little in terms of nutrition and is a carcinogen. Shawn baker doesn't prove your points for avoiding eating animals, since he didn't eat animals, he ate a part of the animals, worst part, and burnt the shit out of it. Amylase isn't actually designed to break down starchy foods, it breaks down small amounts of starch in foods that contain a bit of it like plant foods. That is why you need to cook yams, potatoes etc... because eating it raw is 20x less efficiently digested. A simple home test can prove this just get some amylase and raw starch and the right pH etc... and you'll see it is bad at breaking it down. Thus why you need to cook it to break it up. You also mentioned about undigested meat in the gut, that is actually true, for those eating muscle meat. Fish is so bioavaiable, it's rapidly digested and absorbed and doesn't hang around in the gut long enough to cause any problems. I can't say the same for mammal organs since I haven't done the research for that, if there is any, but for fish it's 100% fact. "Fish has mercury and dioxins" small fish has hardly any of either, also they are high in selenium. Mercury isn't directly bad for you. It's bad because it attaches to selenium, but with high amounts of selenium and very little mercury, it causes zero harm. Although I eat plant foods, they aren't perfect either, but I won't bash them because they have way more benefits than harm, just like fish. Yes, processed oil is terrible for you. I forgot to mention that I am a pescotarian, if that wasn't obvious already lol. Also, i believe you when you say you got heart pains on a keto diet because those typical keto diets are just terrible. I dont believe you when you said you were unable to lose weight at 1200 kcal, even with genetics differences and eat nothing but mcdonalds, you'll still lose a lot of weight. The main reason I decided to cut all carbs out wasn't because of obesity or any of that nonsense, it was because carbs contain very little nutrients in comparison to fish and plant foods and I wanted to keep my diet as nutrient dense low kcal as possible. Mic: "fat is 9kcal and carbs is 4kcal (it's actually 3.75 but w.e)". True, but fat being 9kcal per gram doesn't matter if you set a limit on how many kcal you eat a day. Plus, fat makes you fuller for that exact reason. Idk why Mic mentions such moronic things at times. I listen to him a lot because I like to get balanced information from all sources.
Keep inform us. Great video.
The best detox you ever can do, is to go vegan.
Yes! Love your videos. They are so informative!
I love you dude, thanks for being awesome and sharing your mouth words with the world
Great!!! Looking forward to seeing you at the Sonoma County Veg Fest! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for making such good informational videos!
The counter argument to the soap stones is such that many people who have done these flushes report a cessation of the expulsion of stones after a certain number of flushes, meaning that actual gall/liver stones were being expelled.
Nice job Mike. The Okinawa thing drives me crazy... the new carnivores all love to refer to blog posts of how much meat they eat and how healthy they are. They are claiming the literal opposite of the truth.
They are like a cult :)
Okinawans eat only 2% meat. Many Okinawans are also vegans
So excited to hear you're going to be at Sonoma County VegFest!! It'll be my first VegFest, and I look forward to seeing you there!!
JavaTheKat
Everything you said, me too! Lol
Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
not more genetics excuses
Agustin Eugenio Plasencia I know it’s soooo annoying!
that is assuming that study was well done, I mean I dont think they factored in all the things your body does that influences your weight. Im not disagreeing that the epidemic of obesity is caused by people going too far off a wfpb diet though
Genetics tho!
that's obvious
Okinawa people, tho.
They were not obese. Now, they are. No more genetics excuses.
HE GOT YOUR FRIES, JOHN
ur vids are getting better and better
Mic you might only have 252k subs but I genuinely feel you do more for this world than just about anyone I've encountered, and that says A LOT. The way you put things, your light hearted humor, your devotion to science, and that beard... oh god the beard.. Keep it up buddy, good work man!
You’re hilarious Mic! Another great video ! I DID learn something new! I was dipped into believing the Serotonin myth! Thank you 🌱🙌
Tortillas and beans! Pea soup and rye bread! Rice and tofu! Ful medamas and pitas!
stop man youre killing me
I don't get bloated either.
Sorry for your family for all those disgusting farts
Farts from vegans smell like flowers!
Very thoughtful, thanks Mic
Great video Mic. I learned a lot
Love the videos
I'm super annoyed by the belief that you need to eat animal foods to get B12. There have been a lot of articles in the news recently and they all mention B12 being available in animal foods and that makes it seem like animal foods are necessary... But they never mention that BACTERIA make B12. Makes me so mad!
Fabdanc Yeah its funny. They make out that animals create B12 out of thin air! You read the back of the packet to any guinea pig, rabbit or horse feed and they all put B12 in it! Having animals with good levels of B12 increases their health and weight so many farmers supplement their livestock with it to help production. In some areas like the Taupo Volcanic Plateau in NZ there is no naturally occuring cobalt in the soil. The B12 molecule has a cobalt in the center so bacteria can't make B12. The livestock in that area all got muscle wasting disease and died before they knew about B12 back in the day, and what was causing this.
Fabdanc So that makes a non vegan diet deficient in B12?
Take the supplement, or eat the remains of something that took the same supplement. Easy choice.
You are my biggest inspiration : your style, editing, finding of information and spreading the conservation, vegan, love message out there in such a non judgemental honest way. :) Just wanted to let you know I included you in my favourite youtubers (recent video) and genuinely you've been such a driver and person to look up to :)
You are AWESOME!!! Thank you for this video.
4:17 “you’re pooping soap man”
I can’t 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏻
You should make a video about antidepressants and antipsychotics
This!
That has nothing to do with veganism or nutrition science.
Roger Nehring proper nutrition and exercise can really help with mental health :)
what are his credentials does anyone know?
Lean GroundBeef they are he isn't promoting foods that cause cancer, heart disease, diabetes and an early death. THose are his credentials.
Thank you Mic!
I just wanna say this is the best nutrition related content all over TH-cam. Keep the great work, Mic. I adore your channel.
The serotonin produced in the gut might not make it through the blood-brain barrier, but if your gut is also a reason your inflammation markers shoot up, you´re likely to become unhappy, I think there are some studies that found a correlation between inflammation and depression.
He said he will make a video about it. But he is right about the serotonin part.
Has anyone here read "the amazing liver and gallbladder flush" by Andreas Moritz? He speaks directly to soap stones in liver flush argument
I wonder the same thing. My assumption is no. I came across Andrea's work years ago and his extensive research/books/online responses/articles/videos helped me settle into my understanding of the unnecessity (new word) of animal flesh/products in the human diet. I went on to acquire the book you mentioned along with Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation and just completed my 7th liver flush last month with the best results I've had thus far. Due to not doing a traditional pre-flush-colonic (I used oxypowder instead -- trying to cut corners since I'm more experienced), the oil & grapefruit juice solution came back up upon awakening. Still, it triggered the largest stone release I've had yet.
Considering the amount of stones and old (and smelly) bile sludge that was released in my post-colonic, I can't jive with the claims of Mic and other 'researchers' who have never undergone a single flush that this is the result of soap and oil. I would at least expect that it would then come out smelling like salad dressing just as it went in lol. And I respect the work Mic does.
Not to mention countless people who have experienced relief with digestion, acne, facial depressions, arthritic pains and ailments, etc. Won't even get into my own testimony here.
But hey, to each, her own. Luckily, I've come to my dietary choices and seasonal cleansing (kidney, liver, colon) protocols based on my own bodily intuition, research and personal experimentation. I stick with what has worked for me based on trial. Deeply glad for that. Otherwise, I see how people hop on or off bandwagons because they saw a video of a passionate person expressing something and immediately write something on or off because "well this person said.."
Have you tried it for yourself, though? Following the correct protocol?
I've been seeing many videos lately of people denouncing veganism for reasons that lead me to feel that they only ventured into it because they were convinced by another rather than their own body & intuitive guidance, which to me, is of deeper value than another's opinion. I also feel that for some people, it's more about belonging to a group and standing for something. Thus, they'll start with veganism - something won't work well while maintaining that diet, then they'll switch to carnivorous whatever and start bashing the other side while feeling all high and mighty with a new group who can now throw beans and nuts at the others. Insanity lol.
Anyway, I SO didn't mean to get all lengthy here. Just a topic I'm deeply passionate about as it's brought great relief and improvement to myself and close family members.
Be well!
@@alfinenathalie
Well said. I'm happy for you. Yes, I've done many flushes and have seen many direct results. I only wish I would have gotten my stones anylized for proof others will accept without personal experience.
@@alfinenathalie the 'soap stone' myth is deliberate misinformation. I've gotten those stones out just from doing coffee enemas. Liver flushes are amazing BTW.
You always have great videos. There all informative and backed up, that's the best part.🌱❤😊
Hey Mike - Great info usual. Gonna see you at Veg Fest in Sonoma on sat. Can't wait!!
Hi Mic, please research more about intrahepatic stones. It is not a myth, they do exist, clogging up the liver, therefore lymphatic system does not remove metabolic waste. They are 98% made of cholesterol and yes, you can remove them by doing liver cleanse. I recommend Andreas Moritz method. I healed my acne this way after all conventional methods failed.
I agree, and have also done many flushes, with success. I linked Andreas' soap stone myth chapter in the comments too.
I healed my acne as well from the flushes.i had to do about 10 of them.
@@beatles925 Indeed, I did the Moritz cleanse also. I have done 65 liver flushes. After the 56th flush I didn't expell any stones anymore. I look and feel way healthier than before and I know it saved my life. My liver and gallbladder were terribly congested, highly toxic. Most of the stones were extremely poisonous.
Sign me up for Miss Mic's detox program! Stop mentioning Sarah Tonin, that was a painful relationship for me :(
Your amazing ! Love your videos ! Keep them coming .
Great video! Also I'm so glad you included the bit about Sonoma County Veg Fest -- I live in the bay and hadn't heard about it, but I remembered I wanted to go last year! So I just rented a car and bought tickets for my boyfriend and myself. Hope to meet you tomorrow! Woo!
What are your thoughts on prolonged fasting, such as longer than 24 hours. There are a lot of scientific studies, mostly related to cancer and chemo. How our bodies go into autophagy and Ketosis, would love to hear your thoughts!!
Longer fasting is good, but depends on the situation.
Someone might need it..and someone not.
All things like Detox and Fasting must be applied depending on the Health the specific condition of each person.
Vagelis 4VP i
You can promote autophagy with intermittent fasting as well
I want to comment on your first point Mic. First of all, I’m totally on your side with a WFPB diet and physical activity. However, there is most certainly a significant genetic/biological component to obesity that I think should be mentioned. Of course a person’s actions matter and it’s not “completely out of their control,” but there is clearly a biological difference amongst people that influence adiposity. I don’t care how much I eat my genetics would never allow me to become 400+ pounds. When we’re only taking about 20-40 pounds of excess weight then yes, clearly your choices matter. Still, way too many people think obesity is strictly a matter of will power. I think it’s clear that poor dietary choices, full of calorie dense and nutrient poor food, coupled with a lack of physical activity leads to obesity but to a much greater extent in genetic susceptible people.
If you want a review I would recommend watching a lecture by one of your favorite doctors, Garth Davis, on the subject (th-cam.com/video/uqEm37PtpPU/w-d-xo.html)
Here is some of the research that he mentions:
Adoption studies - adopted children are much more likely to match their biological parents’ weight rather than their adopted parents
Twin studies - identical twins (living together or separated at birth) will have very similar rates of obesity whereas fraternal twins have different obesity rates
Functional MRI studies - Obese people have significantly lower levels of dopamine receptors in their brains, which is the reward center of the brain. Dopamine allows people to have a pleasurable sensation after certain activities such as eating or sex. This means obese people seem to have a physiological mechanism that leads to less satisfaction after eating therefore increased hunger and tendency to overeat. Very obese people will tell you that they are hungry all day long and rarely satisfied after meals.
Weight Loss drugs - weight loss drugs have been effective at producing weight loss by targeting hormone receptors such as norepinephrine and serotonin, suggesting obesity has a hormonal component. There was a trial where people were losing weight simply by taking a drug each day. Without telling the patients, the researchers switched the drug to a placebo and the subjects’ weights started to return increase again. This shows a clear hormonal component to obesity and goes against the idea that it is a matter of will power and control.
There are numerous other hormonal components to consider such as ghrelin, leptin, insulin resistance, etc that a bit more complex.
Ultimately I think this is a discussion about overweight vs morbidly obese. There is clearly a biological/genetic component that would allow someone to get morbidly obese. While people can obviously change their weight by adopting healthy behaviors, it is wrong for people to tell the obese that they are fat simply because they lack control or will power. I definitely agree with you that it is important to provide hope to people that there are always things they can do to improve their weight and they are not a complete victim to their genes. Especially with the growing body of research (pun intended) that dietary choices can actually affect your genes (epigenetics)!
Awesome information thanks Mic😀.
Thank you so much for all your hard work, Mic!
I'd love to see ONE thoroughly researched video on all the myths surrounding a whole food plant-based diet and protein. You have often covered protein in many videos, but I'd like to see all the research combined into one video, in order to truly pack a punch and hit the message home once and for all.
Protein is the subject I end up talking about the most when asked about my veganism... The other micronutrient, carbs, you covered very well in this video.
Juice Detoxes can even be deadly. Detox by eating a lot of plants!
Speaking of the vagus nerve, can you do more videos on it? I have a let’s just say friend that I believe has a problem with his vagus nerve, and has gone to the hospital for his digestive system basically shutting down. He says he cannot eat things like pizza anymore. I think he’ll do a video talking about what happened soon, but I was wondering what causes the digestive system to shut down?
Pizza?
Alistair Hodgson Well, I know that pizza causes me digestive problems because of the acidity of the tomatoes and the geasiness of the cheese, so it might irritate him for the same reasons too.
Soul V This is just my best guess based off what info he did give. He said he’ll talk more about it soon. This is just my suspicions not facts.
Tomatoes are acidic but they alkalize the body in their whole form/ blended, but, sadly enough, most of these tomato sauces pizza places use are processed with oil, (lots of salt) and preservatives that help retain the taste, so, that along with super salty and fatty cheese is a no go and no wonder people feel like crap after eating it.
Well could you elabortate on what a digestive system that is "shut down" looks like?
Awesome!!! 100% VEGAN Forever!
AND sufferin' forever! Whoo hoo!
A vegan's life is empty. From sun up to sun set thinkin' about vegan things. May as well be in prison.
James Hartman jajaja Always enjoy the Life! No matter what u eat or drink all the Glory to God!!
James Hartman I think it's the best way to live a healthy life, just that! I also believe that it is about being more aware in the place that we live and to those who affect or benefit! Blessings!
Look at all the HAPPY VEGANS in here clappin' each other on like cult people do...Typical mind controlled freaks.
Excellent job on some top myths covered! Thanks! Glad you cleared up the haircut myth, lol. Hope you're having a great time in Sonoma county, and hope you can come to the SoCal VegFest in October!
Great video!
Pooping soap. Omg 😂🤣
Have you discussed the health problems with consuming "vegetable" oils? Linoleic acid omega-6 FFA.
Docinaplane yes he has a video called oil: the vegan killer
Samuel Joseph ah no, he did it on heart health and applied to olive and coconut oil aswell.
I think Docina means how vegetable oils have small amounts of trans-fats and the polyunsaturated fats from vegetable oils are very unstable.
Thanks, I'll look at it. From my understanding, Olive oil is all right but don't cook with it and all the polyunsaturated oils are not healthy. Corn, soybean, canola, safflower and sunflower oils.
Docinaplane yeah, for cooking avocado would be better... He recommends no oils though. I would say in a keto diet it's allright as you'd be burning fat for fuel.
I did over a year eating no more than 5-10g of PUFA, it's certainly best to restrict oil, but the whole foods seem fine.
I love you Mic. Don't stop! So funny and intelligent. Thanks for another great video.
YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Love yaa!!! Keep it up!!
The water turned black because of all the toxins in your soul 😂😂😂 sorry, thought that was funny
Loved that skit :P
Thanks for educating the world
Awesome !! Like always Mike !! I knew some of the things you said but absolutly not everything ! Thanks for the quality of the informations you use, and for all your videos and good mood !! ^^
"He has a beard and looks like Moses" said my 5 year old daughter while I was watching this.
It bothers me that there are people who think humans are carnivores

another great video, keep it up!
Thank you for mentioning VegFest. That’s in my neighborhood! Hope to see you there.
Why does everyone rip on wikipedia? they usually have correct info...
Mzrrr It gets fact checked before it's published.
So if one sees "citations needed" or "unreliable source" in brackets at the end of the sentence, then it's time to proceed with caution. If not?
Then Wikipedia has a pretty dope track record.
You can't just edit it.
I've edited correct information in before and it just got removed even though it was helpful.
In the past you could definitely edit it easy but they would change it back within an hour, at least from my personal experience.
When I was in grad school my teachers told us not to use Wikipedia because the info wasn't accurate enough to use for papers and discussions.
Wikipedia is good on some things and bad on others.
If there is a conflict of interests its bad usually....Personally i use it often, on general things.
Carbs r life💝
Carbs give a man a great skinny fat look. You love that?
Carbs 😍
High Carb made me skinny before. Even when I used to eat 30 bananas a day lol.
Fasting made my body need to gain weight to heal from the damage it did. :/
High carb diets do two thing. They use the energy from the carbs quick. 2nd any carb that isn't used is turned into fat. There is no protein in it so no muscle can be built...Thus skinny fat. Vegans are all skinny fat because the macro and micro nutrients they put in their body's promote it. There is no other outcome.
James Hartman carbs don't make healthy people fat. They should make a person feel warmer by thermogenesis and that burns them off.
Great video! More of this, please! There are so may myths about nutritian out there.
Great vid !!
Have u seen Georgia Ede's videos. Debunking meat consumption?? I have been following u for a while. But she seems to have good points. I'm not sold yet, but maybe u can make a video regarding her points???
Keep up the great work
When people talk about carbs they mean bread ,pasta etc...but vegetables are carbs so wich one😅😂
Silvia Hernandez Anything our body extracts sugar from is considered carbs.
Pasta: carb.
Broccoli: not carb.
Oranges: carbs..
IAmAgainst broccoli has carbs too. All plants do. That means that all vegan foods: fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds all have carbs.
Usually the negatives are in regards to the GI rating. Starchy carbs and high GI carbs cause insulin spikes which is responsible for storing fat and also causes food cravings and energy drops.
hey man i just discovered ya! very funny and informative! immediately subbed! thanx!
Thank you for always providing much needed information! Instead of watching the news I just watch you, it's a lot better food for thought.
Hey Mike...I have a video idea for you, I'll send it to you on Instagram so it doesn't get lost here....cheers ;)
10:48 Becuze
Drama_Llama_5000 5:45 compete protein 😂
Although still lovin' the vids 😍
Love this guy!
You totally made my day!! ☺️😂 thanks for the facts and the laughs
Detox is too vague. Liver flushes do work if done properly, if you are prone to a lot of stones/gallbladder attacks, yes I have done it with a drastic difference. Water fasting does work. Your body is constantly detoxifying or else you would be dead.
No offense Mike but you probably have no experience with real cleanses/flushes, check out Andreas Moritz.
Yessss!!!
"He inherited your fries Jon" HAAHAHAHA
Mic! Great video! Hilarious, actually. I’m wondering, what are your thoughts on Gerson Therapy?
You’re amazing!!
Hate the commercial in the middle
Me to, I hate watching TH-cam on my PC. So I sideload a different app on my Android phone and it bypass all the ads on TH-cam.
Ad-Block Extension on your Browser. Problem Solved. I never seen any commercials in youtube.
Before this video I got an ad for a detox regimen product *eye roll* The detox health trend is wishful thinking.
DimaRakesah haha same here, got a detox ad!
TheJoyLoveMoney if juicing helped you that's great. No one said it was a scam, Mike has even commented that it can help people. Its the scammy detox fad we're talking about here, particularly when used to sell dodgy products with the vague promise of some kind of "cleans" effect. Yes, the body has ways of detoxifying itself, but you dont need to go out and buy a bunch of detox products and buy into all the hype of some kind of super amazing detox program.
The point you made about serotonin not crossing the blood brain barrier was interesting I’ve heard that dopamine cannot cross but I had no idea about serotonin
Love this
Who the hell dislikes this video?
Samuel Joseph Dina of course 😂
Loren Lockman and his starvation diet followers 😂
Meatheads.
People who know the truth
thebk247 funny stuff
I tried a liver cleanse once. Never again. Never.
They are immensely healing though
Great video! Hadn't even heard the serotonin myth. I was in a nutrition class this semester, and my professor told everyone protein combining was a thing... but he was good overall and even showed Forks over Knives as our last class session!
That you for your comic relief. You make research fun.
Finally first!
YetAnotherVegan .. mzrr also claims first, but I think you got it😃
Wow, a vegan who's not crazy and reasonable!!!! That's almost like winning the lotto.
Anyway, I'm a meat eater for life, but I respect that your providing sources.
I always learn a bunch.
Hey Mic recently found your channel and love it!! I recently found out about factory farming, livestock’s contribution to global warming and deforestation etc... I was wondering what’s your stance on GMOs, pesticides, the dirt dozen & the clean 15 ??
Who else believed most of these? I sure did before watching!
I thought the gut seratonin was why I felt so good on a fiber vegan diet. Guess it’s just the healthy foods and lack of toxins like meat and dairy.
EIH yeah exactly!! How long have you been vegan? 😊
Jenna South only since May! You?
EIH That's great , you're starting a better life 💖😊 and over a year!
Jenna South thanks for the encouragement!
Finally early! Can you please pin me?! I love your channel and advise💖🐖🐓🐤🐄
Really, really want Thrive in Australia!!
That detox skit reminded me of those videos made by the "lets get some shoes" guy lol. Thanks for another great video!
