Damn man. I'm not even, on the xl size, but I try to be vegetarian for just, when he explained our mind craving all this shit, sugar and tasty stuff, it causes dopamine neurons to get fucked. Because of over stimulation Eat like shit daily, play video games, even if you lift, it's pointless. That's why a lot of people have "adhd" when it's not a real disorder. It's over stimulated exhaustion. Give a dog a piece of steak, he will rarely ever eat his shitty bowl of cereal 3 times a day. The dog will be the most spoiled shit. (most at least) Same with children. Nowadays 5 year Olds have Xbox and discover pornhub on the iPad mom buys them. The kid will grow kinda fucked. Glued and addicted to the screen of pixel fps stimulation, cause he doesn't have to move.
this is the type of thing a majority of people need to see. a normal guy, doing normal things, impacting extraordinary positive change. it doesnt take a lot. just a little consistency everyday.
I feel this is the most realistic weight loss from Men’s Health. It took time, effort and an unfortunately a tragic event . He looks amazing and feels great . Good for him 🖤🖤🖤🥰
NOT realistic you blind sheep fool. the human body needs high fats carnivore and fasting is the most realistic way to eat. stop following these fucken celebrity fools diet
@@bailey2624 We're not carnivores, you ape, we're omnivores. There are plenty of ways to get protein outside of meat. And I say this as someone who eats whatever I want.
‘A hockey jersey is a fat guys moo moo.’ 😂 So happy that Kevin survived his heart attack and decided to go vegan. Coconut based ice cream is delicious btw!
I am really proud and happy for Kevin. A year and a half ago I really felt like if I didn't make some major changes I would have a heart attack. I started eating plant based and walking. The first time I walked I only walked for ten minutes (about a half a mile) I just kept at it slowly building up the distance, now I walk for an hour 7 days a week . I've lost 80 lbs and my blood pressure went from 155/85 to 120/72. I've still got some weight I need to lose but I am on the right path.
Its amazing what a little bit of walking can do. Its also amazing that people these days are so lazy they can't even walk places once in a while. Nevertheless, congrats on your journey my friend.
His fridge is full. The food itself is retaining the lower temp. It won't take long to cool the air again. If it were mostly empty, this would be wasteful. But it's not, so don't stress.
Kevin Smith convinced me to lose weight! His heart attack story was terrifying and I was completely convinced that I was next. I’m down 30 pounds and counting from overhauling my diet. Thank you man 🙏
Not trying to get emotional, but he really just inspired me. I have always been overweight and the fact that he just walks every day and just eats healthy and he likes what he eats turn me on to the idea of health and fitness. He made it sound so much easier and a part of life than work. Thank you so much Kevin. Wow❤️
So nice to see such an overwhelmingly positive comment section! Thank you Kevin, for being such a great example of what a vegan lifestyle means for your health and the lives of animals!
John Cucinski I’m sorry but how is it more inspiring to see a barely average man than a body builder. The body builder had the self control to not get overweight in the first place and become a dedicated health fanatic
Went vegan 6 years ago and fixed ALL of my myriad of health issues, no meds anymore, no nothing, and as an avid fan and listener myself and my brother+friends rooted so hard for his daughter every time it was brought up on the podcasts lmao "Well my daughter is still trying to get me to try this vegan thing" etc Way too ecstatic when he finally did it. I never want to feel as miserable as I did EVER again I'm sure that's the only convincing he'll need as well!
My brothers high blood pressure went away as soon as he cut out meat fish eggs and dairy. It happened fast, within three weeks. He no longer needs high blood pressure medication and salt is not a concern for him. He tries not to overdo the salt and doesn't eat a lot of processed food for that reason. Like Kevin said, it was quite easy to do. My brother has been doing it two years now, and feels great and has lots of energy.
I’m here because I’m a big fat guy and Kevin Smith has most certainly lived for the finer things in life for a long time. So he outta know how to still enjoy eating and, damn it, he’s proof it can be done.
This is guy is just the best. I’d wanted to meet him for years but never had the chance, until this past summer at a con. He only did photo ops which are usually only a moment, then you are quickly shepherded out. But with him, he ignored the con employees commands and gave every single person their “moment” with him. I’ll never forget how kind and sincere he was to me, you just don’t get that kind of authenticity from any celebrity. I wish him a long and happy life.
Man Tip: If any of your lady friends suffer from horrible and painful periods, a plant based diet makes HUGE difference. I have endometriosis. and changing my diet made my life and my husband's life so much easier.
yeah got a friend who has that too. I never knew it was caused by animal products in first place. which is really weird bc that friend was eating the least amout of meat. hope he goes vegan now finally as I'm here by her side helping her!
I suffered some of the worst hormonal imbalances on a vegan diet due to vitamin deficiency (D & B12, both you get from animal products). it's important to make note that unless you supplement for these things, vegan diets can actually make your hormone balance worse (and make periods, skin, bloat, etc. worse too). Eating a lot of highly processed soy (milks and most fake vegan meat is soy based) can also artificially elevate estrogen levels
Very strong and intelligent move by Kevin. I feel like a lot of people who suffer heart attacks go back to eating what kills them, but life is too precious for that (assuming you enjoy your life)! Nutrition should be what doctors emphasize most, but I'm not at all sure that's how that goes...
@@casof97 You can say that it's wrong if you disagree with it, but to say that it's a contradiction just doesn't make sense. Here's an example of a contradiction: Person A tells you that Jane is 23 years old, and person B says she is 33 years old. So, if someone says "Animal exploitation is uncivilized" and someone else claims "Animal exploitation is civilized", THAT is when it becomes a contradiction.
More and more doctors are getting educated about nutrition but it’s been seriously lacking for decades. With Doctors like Dr. Michael Greger and Dr Neal Barnard, Dr. Joel Kahn speaking out and teaching more and more the doctors can’t ignore nutrition anymore. They blame it on their assumption that people just won’t do it so they don’t even offer the information. But once the doctor gets it about the plant-based diet they’re more likely to recommend it to their patients.

Lol yeah. As much as I love Kevin Smith and his movies, what he does is not a workout to me but its better than nothing. Kudos to him and his lifestyle
I switched to a vegan SOS diet for my health as well and I lost 25 kg (55 pounds) and am now thinner and smaller round the waist than I was when I left the equivalent of high school too. It has been a life changer even though I didn't have the heart problems or the weight of Kevin Smith - it helped me. I think the wardrobe change was the thing that I didn't think about - including shoes - my shoe size went down - I hadn't thought of having fat feet but you do store the excess fat in the feet as well.
Best part of the Captain Marvel movie was when she ran into Stan Lee in the 90's rehearsing for his role in Mallrats, directed by Kevin Smith. Now I want to watch Mallrats again.

Im going to do something b/c a famous person did it.. ? you sound like an idiot. Vegans kill thousands of animals and keep the pesticide companies richer than hogs. dont be an idiot
He gets on my nerves sometimes as a filmmaker but he is always entertaining and I'm so happy to see him looking healthy and vibrant. He looks 20 years younger!
Kevin. Thank you for sharing. I had the same type of heart attack you did and it took me about that long to convert being vegan. I’m Filipino. Pork is a staple ingredient in the Filipino diet. Lol. Thank you so much. I’ve been a fan since Dogma!!! One of my favorite movies of all time.
Kevin inspired me to lose 70 pounds. Lately I've been slipping and though I haven't gained any weight back, this inspired me once more to continue diet and exercise. It just sucks that I live in Canada and there's 4 feet of snow outside so I can't hike.
Exercise doesn't make you burn excess weight all that much, just eat less. Cut on carbohydrates. I cut out processed sweats, pasta, bread and tomato sauce from my diet, and eat smaller servings of rise and other grain products. I do not constrain my self on meat, fruit and vegetables. Carbohydrates are prone to attract excess water in your blood vessels that is bad for your heart. Salt does the same 1 to 1, but one can't eat as much salt as sugary snacks.
3dgun eat whole food plant based, do indoor workouts if you like, for example madfit (Maddie Lymburner) or Banana Blondie or Kathrine Moen or any online program you like... Or do yoga or basic old school exercise like walking/running in place, jumping jacks, toe touches, sit ups, push ups...walk around your home...walk in shopping centers and underground.
Thanks everyone. How does this sound? I've been making all of my meals from scratch and from raw ingredients. Raw vegetables and organic meat. I make a lot of home cooked meals. For exercise, I've been doing a lot of shovelling, drive ways and roofs since I can't really walk anywhere. Our sidewalks are now snowbanks. I really can't wait until spring. Lol.
This is seriously awesome! He looks so much better. It's simply incredible what a vegan diet can do for you. I suffer from an incurable genetic disease (AS), and don't have any pain thanks to my carefully chosen plant-based diet. Respect. I hope he will stick with it for the rest of his life, because it's easy to forget after a while.
All in your head. Counting calories and not overeating is pretty much everything. That automatically reduces fats and oils for meat or plant based food. You don't even need to be nitty gritty about it, just be generally aware of caloric intake.
@@angelachappalarrea2323 plants can create "inflammatory" responses in your digestion and immune system, like any chemical with those properties. you can achieve the same results on a mixed or omnivorous diet, it's more a factor of balancing macros and energy (calories).
Yes, a whole food plant based diet got my brother off insulin and high blood pressure medication. A major transformation I saw with my own eyes. He loves all the foods he eats now. He has black bean and corn quesadillas and lentil/onion/pepper fajitas, vegan chilli, chickpea curry on rice.... really delicious food that is keeping him healthy and off medication!
So hugely inspirational that Kevin was able to do this. I was obese for a decade before going mostly plant based/vegan four years ago. Since then, I've lost over 70lbs. Still have about 30 more to go before reaching my goal weight, but it's so nice to not be officially morbidly obese anymore.
Straight Vedge ...after a heart attack's and cardiovascular wasting. That's not healthy it's a horrible side effect being glamorized, like losing weight due to malaria or AIDS.
@@aeonjoey3d Uh...no it isn't. Kevin chose to go vegan. He could have ignored the doctor's advice and stayed heavy, likely with fatal results, but, my point being you don't automatically turn vegan after a heart attack. Second; You lose weight from Malaria or Aids because you're sick and it's an unhealthy amount of weight loss. Kevin however, lost weight because he switched to eating healthier foods and thus shed his excess body fat. He would still have lost weight if he had become a vegan without having a heart attack.
@@elfang0r wrong. vegans are NOT healthier. This is a complete myth. We are not made to eat plant foods. The dude is skinny fat. Go look at people who eat only meat, they look FAR healthier.
redubd You become healthy by doing what works for your body. Some people a strict carnivorous diet fixes all their problems and others a vegan diet. There is no one all great solution to be the HEALTHIEST AS POSSIBLE. This whole stupid argument against vegans vs meat eaters makes no sense because is everyone is different.
Love that he's so open about his heart attack and his lifestyle changes. This is exactly what Mens Health is about. It's not about just getting jacked at the gym. It's about being healthy and following a healthy lifestyle.
I walk as exercise as well. I don't pay for a gym, but there's one on the bottom floor of my apt and I walk right past the treadmills in there knowing I'm doing for free what cost the people in there a monthly fee. I love walking outdoors. It is how I lost weight as well and it helps give you time to let go of the stress of the day. Great job Kevin! Love his shirt in this video :)
My dad died from a massive heart attack and everyone in my family has a different degree of heart disease or diabetes type 2. Going plant based vegan has kept my cholesterol and blood pressure extra low. I have more muscle than I've ever had in my life too. It's so easy and i feel great.
I was mostly vegetarian for like.... 2 years maybe and lost a great deal of weight and was super healthy. I cut out most carbs except for rice when I had sushi and carbs from fruits. No starch (except the occasional rice), no processed sugars, no candy or cakes or ice cream, etc. I felt great and lost like 100 pounds, but I changed jobs and the stress and hours ruined me. I fell right back into my old ways. It started with getting back into coffee again. I had cut out all caffeine, but my job was next to a dunkin donuts that everyone went to and were constantly asking if i wanted anything from no matter how many times i said no. They were being polite, but it was like a drug addict constantly being asked if they want meth. Coffee meant adding cream and sugar because i like my coffee light and sweet. Then it turned into iced coffee with flavorings and caramel and whipped cream. Then actual donuts. Since I was working like 12 hour days plus 3 hours of travel I stopped meal prepping and juicing. I got back on bread and meat via pre-made sandwiches. Then I would come home and nothing would be open except the 7/11 so... I got those cheap burgers and some snack cakes. By this point I was officially done with my life style change I had worked so hard to maintain. Within 2 or 3 years I had gained back all the weight i lost and i hated myself for it. I was let go from the company that caused all the stress and over eating, was at my heaviest of around 347, and now I was depressed from the job loss. I tried getting back into things, eating better, exercising, etc. But it felt so much harder. i a good 6 years older than the last time i tried to get healthy and now had the added stress of not being employed. I knew what I needed to do, but just couldn't bring myself to so it, which is worse. Being over weight sucks, but you can always be in denial about being able to lose weight. Losing weight and regaining it is far worse because you know you did it to yourself. Now, I have a part time job and still worry about cash but it could be worse. I have gotten into meal prep, but because I started in January its been slim pickings for fresh fruit and veggies. I've lost around 15 pounds and hope to continue losing more. The hardest part for me is getting motivated to exercise. However, after about 4 weeks of cutting out processed sugar and soda and junk I am starting to feel a lot better already. Hopefully I can keep it up and look as healthy as Kevin does here.
Hey, man, don't give up on yourself, if you did it once u can definitely do it again! Stay strong and start throwing out all of your crappy foods and go to the grocery store and buy all new foods. Good luck!
You don't need to cut out carbs just stick to healthy ones. I feel fine on rice but yeah sweet potato etc is great for you. You won't get fat eating potatoes. On another video Kevin actually says the first thing he did was go a few weeks JUST eating potatoes as advised from someone and he dropped so much weight. Then introduce other healthy foods.
Yes, Kevin took Penn's advice and ate nothing but baked potatoes for 14 days..no salt, butter, sour cream..just potatoes. His doctor thought it was a crazy plan but Kevin lost 19 lbs(mostly water weight but he was down to 230-240 that quick!). The doctor did blood tests and Kevin's numbers were unbelievably great after those 2 weeks..then Kevin stayed with Vegan as we see in this video and he's down about 60 lbs. to 198, maybe even lower. I don't know about you but I'm convinced with Vegan.
Dude, been vegan since Jan. 1st, 2015. Health reasons as well. Was tired of Keto and not getting anywhere. So proud of you Kevin. Live for you and your family. Healthy plant based is the way for me.
Kevin probably won’t see this, but I’m SO happy you’re still around. I was legitimately sad when I heard of his heart attack. I went plantbased/vegan 3 years, and lost 135lbs, so I know the struggle. Keep kicking ass. I look forward to your podcasts all the time and I’m stoked on Jay and Silent Bob: Reboot.
This is so awesome. I've been living in Mexico over the past few years, consequently I don't see or hear a lot of celebrity gossip. I didn't even know Kevin had had a heart attack. I'm gobsmacked at the change he's undergone. I went vegan myself around 3 years ago and it's made big changes in my life as well. Kudos Kevin!! I hope your example will convince your fans that meatless is the way to go!
I'm went vegan a couple of months ago and it is REALLY hard to to that living in Mexico City, in which we have a taco stand at every corner (and none of those had vegan options).
@@Wurmo you guys understand the vegan diet lacks many essential nutrients like dha,heme iron, fat soulble vitamins like a b d and k, taurine, carnotene,creatine, there's more. meat is the most nutrient dense food and you cut it out of your diet for health? I am aware on studies that link factory farmed meat to health problems but eating wild game is the best food for you. you have to run off carbs when you don't eat meatwhich spikes your insulin Everytime you eat leading to type 2 diabetes alztimers etc. Not to mention digesting carbs is very hard on the liver it's equivalent to drinking alcohol. A carnivore diet lowers insulin resistance. Carbohydrates are just glorified sugar.
@@KARENboomboomROXX Sorry to hear that - can't imagine why it would have done anything of the sort, however. Being vegan is an ethical stance. Ethics aren't usually life-threatening. 😉 In all seriousness, though, plant-based diets/lifestyles - when done properly - are the healthiest diets for human beings.
@@FreyjaJ im sorry but that is false. i looked into the biology of it and we are not apes. i'm not trying to be rude in anyway. i think for the most part what damaged my body the most in all honesty was trying to be raw. we are not designed to eat all this raw vegetation that if you look into it, all of it is genetically modified. none of the plants we eat today ever grew in the wild. it destroyed my bowel and subsequently the rest of me as i literally began to consume my own muscle tissue etc to survive. the lack of animal fats rendered me mentally unstable enough to realize what was happening until I prayed to God for answers which He swiftly gave to me in three days time. I ate fatty rib eye three times a day for 2 months and healed so rapidly it was astonishing. my family is THRILLED. as am i. I understand your staunch beliefs. I had them to but it was not from an ethical standpoint, it was about the blood type book,. I am A. I am supposed to be vegetarian according to that book. it hurt me BIG time.... in the long run.
Right, because ice cream suddenly becomes healthy when you make it with coconuts. And processed soy patties combined with 100 other man-made ingredients is more healthy than a pastured cow. Moral? Maybe. "Only good for you"? Absolutely not. You ever notice how humans ate animal products for millennia and only recently, with the inception of processed sugars and artificial oils, have chronic diseases such as heart failure, diabetes, alzheimers, tooth decay, and cancer become pandemic?
how the fuck does this show that going vegan is healthy? he already said that he drank 2 gallons of milk a day and ate twinkies and overindulged in all kinds of unhealthy foods.. he is not healthy because he went vegan.. he is healthy because he stopped eating unhealthy foods
My husband went vegan about 4 years ago. He lost a lot of weight too it just came off of him, he just watched it fall. He didn't even try! It's crazy! I just became vegan myself and I couldn't be happier! The thought it eating meat now actually turns my stomach.
you can see the pain in him I’m glad he was able to better himself. Being chubby I felt every word , some will laugh about the hockey joke but that’s deep, covering the pain with a joke , being so insecure all those years , all you miss out on and the mental pain throughout those years glad ur happy man it’s so worth it! Don’t make the change because you hate your body, but because you love it.
@@Elena-er7zp Ikr, Anyone find it ironic that you are eating fake cheese because your mind and body are craving the real thing...If vegetables are so fkn good why do they always try to turn them into meat products...?
@@danbuchardt4855 Craving something does not mean it is healthful. People crave cigarettes, and drugs too. In this culture, we grow up eating cheese made from milk from a different species. We develop cravings for it. My shopping list doesn't include fake cheese these days, but it did help when I transitioned to a Whole Food Plant Based vegan diet.
Went plant based six months ago and it was definitely one of the best things that I have ever done. My mom went plant based too, I feel much better and the food is super delicious.
Wow...been Vegan since 2015 and always been a fan of Kevin Smith - yet this whole story somehow completely bypassed me until today. Super happy for him, and I gotta say...with all that shed weight, he suddenly has some Robert Downey Jr. in his face!
I went vegan a year ago. Lost 40lbs, my cholesterol (which was good before) got better. It's an absolute win. I lost my dad heart disease. Seeing Kevin Smith thrive after a massive heart attack fills me with joy.
I went Vegan & Lost 170 lbs. Saved my life as I'm almost 50 years old. I initially did it for the environment not for health reasons but like Kevin Smith said it was so easy. Fat, sugar & salt is what our taste buds crave & vegan food has all these things.
My brother had the same transformation as Kevin. He got off insulin and his no longer has high blood pressure. It works, and he found it easy as well. He loves all the food he is eating now! Its been two years and his doctors are really impressed!

@@nottheone582 there are unhealthy people within every diet. Pointing to one person and attributing it to everyone is a terrible thing to do no matter what you're talking about.
5:53 Kevin Smith "Ah an intense work out is something that I would never do, ah because that would turn me off to the idea of health and exercise." This guy gets it. .. RIP Brody w/ the assist.
All it takes to be a successful vegan is, you know, a little effort. Easy, mostly whole food/plant based vegan home cooking ain't that hard. And if you need some good faux meat - Beyond or Impossible is fucking awesome. And Gardein frozen stuff like their meatballs, chicken strips, etc is good stuff. Going vegan doesn't always mean going healthy, either. There is plenty of process foods that are vegan...and are terrible for you. But with a little effort, you can eat great. I'm talking sugar, carbs (which AREN'T evil no matter what fad diets tell you) etc can still be in your diet with some knowledge and care.

Also, tons of money. It's a huge financial obstacle to those of us who are already struggling and failing to make ends meet, unfortunately.
Paul Little how do you people keep coming up with the most ridiculous excuses? Half of this planet can’t afford to eat meat lol. Countries like India are actually increasing global meat consumption because they’re coming out of poverty.
I think Kevin is approaching this making ALL the right decisions. Eat healthy food, walk with your dog 30-60 minutes every day. You will be sustainably healthy and no injuries. Nothing to prove to anyone, just be healthy.
Kevin smith understands me so well. Just walking outside. I don't do strenuous exercise. Also, I had to eat healthier or else I was going to be chronically disabled. So there is that. My family has a history of autoimmune conditions. I was started to show symptoms. Anytime I am even the slightess bit of naughty I get achy and sore ankles, shins, and upper back. Makes it hard to sleep. Whole food plant based. For my life. Always making new and tasty recipes that I enjoy based off of whole foods.
I've been changing my diet as well and have adopted a lot of vegan products to my everyday eating habits. I TRULY cannot live without cheese, I'll put cheese on anything! But since I'm trying to shed all of my weight and be healthy I decided to cut back on cheese products and since I still need cheese in my life I have been substituting it with vegan alternatives and i gotta say there are some impressively good vegan cheeses! There were a few i didn't like at all and tasted like grade F pasteurized american cheese( you know the REALLY cheap one ) but I found a brand that they sale at a nearby store I had never been and theyre so inexpensive, a pack of sandwich sliced cheese for $1.99 , they taste great . I've also completely switched milk and now drinking almond milk which I dont mind at all and its super low in calories. I also found some chicken patties that i really liked and I swear they taste just like a jack in the box chicken sandwich, i still can't believe their vegan. Anyway, my point is if you start with cutting back some of the really bad things you can make a big impact on your health in the long run and now I've even lost 20lbs but I'm also exercising and cutting on my calories. I never was taught proper nutrition eating habits so i never thought twice about the stuff I would eat which was mostly junk food and fastfood. Either way, I have changed the my lifestyle and since doing it Ive noticed I'm not having shortness of breath, i sleep better, slightly more energy, not as much difficulty breathing and I can actually run a lot longer, lol. Anyway, good luck to anyone trying to make that healthy life change.
That's awesome. If you ever really want to give up cheese, look up a youtube video called "dairy is scary." You won't look at it the same way ever again.
@@DeadwoodSD1876 Cheese is unhealthy, bad for the environment and causes the abuse and murder of animals... Also it contains casomorphine which makes it addicting for humans and thats why you feel like you "TRUELY" need it🐄
Yeah, replacing the most nutrient dense foods on the planet for some plants and packaged non food shit that tries to imitate those nutrient dense foods. What could go wrong...
@@takeoffyourblinkers nothing much at all really. I think it's great that someone of their own free will chooses to do research and try a different lifestyle. If you really hate people who live differently from you or try new things then you re evaluate yourself.
@@daveray5655 WOW! Where the fuck did you come up with hating the way someone else lives because it is different than me? My comment was a statement of fact. Maybe it is time to evaluate yourself and the way you see things. I was a vegan and it failed miserably, now I know why, due to research.
@@takeoffyourblinkers If you failed it's not my problem. I know for a fact that you can be healthy on a proper whole food plant-based diet. What you said isn't a fact it's an assertion based on anecdotal experience. The academy of nutrition and dietetics says anyone ant any point of life can be healthy as a vegan. An example to disprove your claim is eggs. In the USA sellers cannot claim that eggs are part of a balanced diet, healthy, or even safe but they can call it nutrient-dense. Meanwhile, just egg is can be called those things and it's a vegan egg. Please stop assuming people are flawed for making certain decisions.
@@daveray5655 The most nutrient dense foods on the planet are animals foods, this is not an assertion, it is a fact, it is also the most bio available to boot. So replacing them with plants, which vegans eat, ie fact, and packaged non food crap, which even vegans who follow a WFPB diet will agree with. Look at the back of the labels, all non food isolates a crap. Nothing I have said in my original statement is an assertion. Also the Austrian food guidelines say you can eat as many eggs as you wish, and say full cream milk and cheese are good as well. That's if you put any stock in those corps, which clearly you do.
You don't go buy a gun and hunt wild game it's cheaper and healthier then any organic quinoa carbs are just glorified sugar they will rot your organs and teeth. While destroying your brain in the process. Your brain is made of lipids and fats not carbs and sugar. Eat grass fed meat or wild game don't eat plants drink water
I tried going vegetarian a few years ago because I didn't crave meat but I accidently put myself into trouble, my body thought I was starving itself and began to eat my muscles until I was weak and sickly. I was informed that I had to eat way more and make an effort to gain some muscle mass (not bodybuilder type lol) or stop the diet. What needs to be considered here is what your work/lifestyle routine already is and make a plan for it not just blindly walk into it. I work in a receiving job with heavy lifting, pulling and a ton of walking so just going for a walk like Kevin's walk does very little for me. It's important to adapt what you need to eat and not what you think should be good enough, drink well and adjust your work out so that it best suits your individual needs which may also change as you go.

Damn man. I'm not even, on the xl size, but I try to be vegetarian for just, when he explained our mind craving all this shit, sugar and tasty stuff, it causes dopamine neurons to get fucked.
Because of over stimulation
Eat like shit daily, play video games, even if you lift, it's pointless. That's why a lot of people have "adhd" when it's not a real disorder. It's over stimulated exhaustion.
Give a dog a piece of steak, he will rarely ever eat his shitty bowl of cereal 3 times a day. The dog will be the most spoiled shit. (most at least)
Same with children. Nowadays 5 year Olds have Xbox and discover pornhub on the iPad mom buys them. The kid will grow kinda fucked. Glued and addicted to the screen of pixel fps stimulation, cause he doesn't have to move.
@@kgal1298 he did? Damn
this is the type of thing a majority of people need to see. a normal guy, doing normal things, impacting extraordinary positive change. it doesnt take a lot. just a little consistency everyday.
I feel this is the most realistic weight loss from Men’s Health. It took time, effort and an unfortunately a tragic event .
He looks amazing and feels great .
Good for him 🖤🖤🖤🥰
NOT realistic you blind sheep fool. the human body needs high fats carnivore and fasting is the most realistic way to eat. stop following these fucken celebrity fools diet
@@bailey2624 We're not carnivores, you ape, we're omnivores. There are plenty of ways to get protein outside of meat. And I say this as someone who eats whatever I want.

‘A hockey jersey is a fat guys moo moo.’ 😂 So happy that Kevin survived his heart attack and decided to go vegan. Coconut based ice cream is delicious btw!
I am really proud and happy for Kevin. A year and a half ago I really felt like if I didn't make some major changes I would have a heart attack. I started eating plant based and walking. The first time I walked I only walked for ten minutes (about a half a mile) I just kept at it slowly building up the distance, now I walk for an hour 7 days a week . I've lost 80 lbs and my blood pressure went from 155/85 to 120/72. I've still got some weight I need to lose but I am on the right path.
Chuck R good for you !
Way to go! Keep it up!
🎉🎆🎇🎊🎉👏👏👏
That’s great to hear. Keep it up!
Its amazing what a little bit of walking can do. Its also amazing that people these days are so lazy they can't even walk places once in a while. Nevertheless, congrats on your journey my friend.
That's awesome. I went vegan last year also and lost 85 lbs.
Awesome Al360 someone needs to make it about themselves
65lbs for me!! less than a year!!
Rodimus Prime why is that??
316SR someone has to be a trolling asshole. 🖕🏻
Good job on your 85 pound weight loss but it says in the video description that he lost 58 pounds.
The fridge being open is killing me.
The whole time he's talking, I'm like... SHUT YOUR FRIDGE DOOR!
Im glad somebody said it
It was driving me crazy too
His fridge is full. The food itself is retaining the lower temp. It won't take long to cool the air again.
If it were mostly empty, this would be wasteful. But it's not, so don't stress.
As my father said...shut the God damn ice box!
Kevin Smith convinced me to lose weight! His heart attack story was terrifying and I was completely convinced that I was next. I’m down 30 pounds and counting from overhauling my diet. Thank you man 🙏
Not trying to get emotional, but he really just inspired me. I have always been overweight and the fact that he just walks every day and just eats healthy and he likes what he eats turn me on to the idea of health and fitness. He made it sound so much easier and a part of life than work. Thank you so much Kevin. Wow❤️
I'm happy Kevin is in better shape so he'll be around for a very very long time.
Jason Finch the world needs Kevin Smith
Who'd a thunk it. Kevin in men's health! Wow. Way to go kev! 2019 is the year of silent bob. Can't wait for rebooted!
So nice to see such an overwhelmingly positive comment section! Thank you Kevin, for being such a great example of what a vegan lifestyle means for your health and the lives of animals!
Kevin has always been a hero of mine and I'm so happy he's healthy and a vegan.
Pretty cool to see Kevin like this. Much more inspiring than see professional body builder.
John Cucinski I’m sorry but how is it more inspiring to see a barely average man than a body builder. The body builder had the self control to not get overweight in the first place and become a dedicated health fanatic

Went vegan 6 years ago and fixed ALL of my myriad of health issues, no meds anymore, no nothing, and as an avid fan and listener myself and my brother+friends rooted so hard for his daughter every time it was brought up on the podcasts lmao "Well my daughter is still trying to get me to try this vegan thing" etc Way too ecstatic when he finally did it. I never want to feel as miserable as I did EVER again I'm sure that's the only convincing he'll need as well!
Shoxpyre Alot of the meat still has alot of sodium so if you already have high blood pressure how do you get healthy?
My brothers high blood pressure went away as soon as he cut out meat fish eggs and dairy. It happened fast, within three weeks. He no longer needs high blood pressure medication and salt is not a concern for him. He tries not to overdo the salt and doesn't eat a lot of processed food for that reason. Like Kevin said, it was quite easy to do. My brother has been doing it two years now, and feels great and has lots of energy.
Always genuine and upbeat, love Kev Smith. And this interview was stellar.
It’s good to see Kevin doing so well but I’m also happy to see Shecky doing so well.

ay some of us are still happy, if i accidentally ate meat tho id prlly cry for days straight lmao
I’m here because I’m a big fat guy and Kevin Smith has most certainly lived for the finer things in life for a long time. So he outta know how to still enjoy eating and, damn it, he’s proof it can be done.
The most impressive transformation. Took a heart attack, but look at him damn
This is guy is just the best. I’d wanted to meet him for years but never had the chance, until this past summer at a con. He only did photo ops which are usually only a moment, then you are quickly shepherded out. But with him, he ignored the con employees commands and gave every single person their “moment” with him. I’ll never forget how kind and sincere he was to me, you just don’t get that kind of authenticity from any celebrity. I wish him a long and happy life.
Man Tip: If any of your lady friends suffer from horrible and painful periods, a plant based diet makes HUGE difference. I have endometriosis. and changing my diet made my life and my husband's life so much easier.
Thanks! I needed to hear that. I suffer from painful menstrual cramps...since I was 9yrs old.
yeah got a friend who has that too. I never knew it was caused by animal products in first place. which is really weird bc that friend was eating the least amout of meat. hope he goes vegan now finally as I'm here by her side helping her!
@@katlunascoven7932 Dairy and eggs can be a BIG part of it too!
I suffered some of the worst hormonal imbalances on a vegan diet due to vitamin deficiency (D & B12, both you get from animal products). it's important to make note that unless you supplement for these things, vegan diets can actually make your hormone balance worse (and make periods, skin, bloat, etc. worse too). Eating a lot of highly processed soy (milks and most fake vegan meat is soy based) can also artificially elevate estrogen levels
My mrs has terrible periods, but she is already a vegan :(
As a non vegan and lifetime kevin smith fan I love how honest he was about the taste and intricacies of going vegan.
"MMM!....that is completely flavorless." Lol, keep carrying on, Kevin.
Very strong and intelligent move by Kevin. I feel like a lot of people who suffer heart attacks go back to eating what kills them, but life is too precious for that (assuming you enjoy your life)! Nutrition should be what doctors emphasize most, but I'm not at all sure that's how that goes...
Your username is a contradiction dumbass
@@casof97 "Your username is a contradiction dumbass"
How is that?
Probably helped that his daughter was already eating that way too when you have a strong support system it's much easier.
@@casof97 You can say that it's wrong if you disagree with it, but to say that it's a contradiction just doesn't make sense. Here's an example of a contradiction: Person A tells you that Jane is 23 years old, and person B says she is 33 years old.
So, if someone says "Animal exploitation is uncivilized" and someone else claims "Animal exploitation is civilized", THAT is when it becomes a contradiction.
More and more doctors are getting educated about nutrition but it’s been seriously lacking for decades. With Doctors like Dr. Michael Greger and Dr Neal Barnard, Dr. Joel Kahn speaking out and teaching more and more the doctors can’t ignore nutrition anymore. They blame it on their assumption that people just won’t do it so they don’t even offer the information. But once the doctor gets it about the plant-based diet they’re more likely to recommend it to their patients.

Lol yeah. As much as I love Kevin Smith and his movies, what he does is not a workout to me but its better than nothing. Kudos to him and his lifestyle
I switched to a vegan SOS diet for my health as well and I lost 25 kg (55 pounds) and am now thinner and smaller round the waist than I was when I left the equivalent of high school too. It has been a life changer even though I didn't have the heart problems or the weight of Kevin Smith - it helped me. I think the wardrobe change was the thing that I didn't think about - including shoes - my shoe size went down - I hadn't thought of having fat feet but you do store the excess fat in the feet as well.
Best part of the Captain Marvel movie was when she ran into Stan Lee in the 90's rehearsing for his role in Mallrats, directed by Kevin Smith. Now I want to watch Mallrats again.

Im going to do something b/c a famous person did it.. ? you sound like an idiot. Vegans kill thousands of animals and keep the pesticide companies richer than hogs. dont be an idiot
He gets on my nerves sometimes as a filmmaker but he is always entertaining and I'm so happy to see him looking healthy and vibrant. He looks 20 years younger!
Going Vegan changed my life! ❤️🙌
Kevin has been my celebrity crush since high school. He looks amazing!!!! Congrats on the health wins !
Kevin. Thank you for sharing. I had the same type of heart attack you did and it took me about that long to convert being vegan. I’m Filipino. Pork is a staple ingredient in the Filipino diet. Lol. Thank you so much. I’ve been a fan since Dogma!!! One of my favorite movies of all time.
You look half white.
Try gardein “pork” bites or jackfruit and if u ever in Miami try Vegan Cuban Cuisine
Kevin inspired me to lose 70 pounds. Lately I've been slipping and though I haven't gained any weight back, this inspired me once more to continue diet and exercise. It just sucks that I live in Canada and there's 4 feet of snow outside so I can't hike.
Hiking in the snow is the best. Just wrap yourself up good and warm and trudge through the snow. It's a great workout.
Walk on the sidewalk or join a gym and walk on the treadmill.
Exercise doesn't make you burn excess weight all that much, just eat less.
Cut on carbohydrates. I cut out processed sweats, pasta, bread and tomato sauce from my diet, and eat smaller servings of rise and other grain products. I do not constrain my self on meat, fruit and vegetables.
Carbohydrates are prone to attract excess water in your blood vessels that is bad for your heart. Salt does the same 1 to 1, but one can't eat as much salt as sugary snacks.
3dgun eat whole food plant based, do indoor workouts if you like, for example madfit (Maddie Lymburner) or Banana Blondie or Kathrine Moen or any online program you like... Or do yoga or basic old school exercise like walking/running in place, jumping jacks, toe touches, sit ups, push ups...walk around your home...walk in shopping centers and underground.
Thanks everyone. How does this sound? I've been making all of my meals from scratch and from raw ingredients. Raw vegetables and organic meat. I make a lot of home cooked meals. For exercise, I've been doing a lot of shovelling, drive ways and roofs since I can't really walk anywhere. Our sidewalks are now snowbanks. I really can't wait until spring. Lol.
This is seriously awesome! He looks so much better. It's simply incredible what a vegan diet can do for you. I suffer from an incurable genetic disease (AS), and don't have any pain thanks to my carefully chosen plant-based diet. Respect. I hope he will stick with it for the rest of his life, because it's easy to forget after a while.
All in your head. Counting calories and not overeating is pretty much everything. That automatically reduces fats and oils for meat or plant based food. You don't even need to be nitty gritty about it, just be generally aware of caloric intake.
@@_PatrickO a very low inflammatory diet like a whole food plant-based diet is a huge factor when it comes to health :)
@@angelachappalarrea2323 plants can create "inflammatory" responses in your digestion and immune system, like any chemical with those properties. you can achieve the same results on a mixed or omnivorous diet, it's more a factor of balancing macros and energy (calories).
Bullshit. You can be more than healthy, and eat meat. Looking good and being vegan don’t go hand in hand.
Yes, a whole food plant based diet got my brother off insulin and high blood pressure medication. A major transformation I saw with my own eyes. He loves all the foods he eats now. He has black bean and corn quesadillas and lentil/onion/pepper fajitas, vegan chilli, chickpea curry on rice.... really delicious food that is keeping him healthy and off medication!
So hugely inspirational that Kevin was able to do this. I was obese for a decade before going mostly plant based/vegan four years ago. Since then, I've lost over 70lbs. Still have about 30 more to go before reaching my goal weight, but it's so nice to not be officially morbidly obese anymore.
Only walks his dog and is healthier than 95% of the people in mens health. 🌱💪❤️
Straight Vedge ...after a heart attack's and cardiovascular wasting. That's not healthy it's a horrible side effect being glamorized, like losing weight due to malaria or AIDS.
@@aeonjoey3d Uh...no it isn't. Kevin chose to go vegan. He could have ignored the doctor's advice and stayed heavy, likely with fatal results, but, my point being you don't automatically turn vegan after a heart attack. Second; You lose weight from Malaria or Aids because you're sick and it's an unhealthy amount of weight loss. Kevin however, lost weight because he switched to eating healthier foods and thus shed his excess body fat. He would still have lost weight if he had become a vegan without having a heart attack.
@@elfang0r wrong. vegans are NOT healthier. This is a complete myth. We are not made to eat plant foods. The dude is skinny fat. Go look at people who eat only meat, they look FAR healthier.
@@redubd Did you miss the part where he says a nutritionist suggested he go plant based? Also, human are omnivores so yes we're built to eat plants.
redubd You become healthy by doing what works for your body. Some people a strict carnivorous diet fixes all their problems and others a vegan diet. There is no one all great solution to be the HEALTHIEST AS POSSIBLE. This whole stupid argument against vegans vs meat eaters makes no sense because is everyone is different.
Love that he's so open about his heart attack and his lifestyle changes. This is exactly what Mens Health is about. It's not about just getting jacked at the gym. It's about being healthy and following a healthy lifestyle.
I walk as exercise as well. I don't pay for a gym, but there's one on the bottom floor of my apt and I walk right past the treadmills in there knowing I'm doing for free what cost the people in there a monthly fee. I love walking outdoors. It is how I lost weight as well and it helps give you time to let go of the stress of the day. Great job Kevin! Love his shirt in this video :)
Kev's such a wonderful goofball. "Lemme show you my gym! I don't have a gym!"
Kev is such an amazing human being. He makes me want to be better and think harder about the decisions I make every day.
Kevin Smith is a gift to this world. So glad he’ll be with us for a long time.
My dad died from a massive heart attack and everyone in my family has a different degree of heart disease or diabetes type 2. Going plant based vegan has kept my cholesterol and blood pressure extra low. I have more muscle than I've ever had in my life too. It's so easy and i feel great.
I was mostly vegetarian for like.... 2 years maybe and lost a great deal of weight and was super healthy. I cut out most carbs except for rice when I had sushi and carbs from fruits. No starch (except the occasional rice), no processed sugars, no candy or cakes or ice cream, etc. I felt great and lost like 100 pounds, but I changed jobs and the stress and hours ruined me. I fell right back into my old ways.
It started with getting back into coffee again. I had cut out all caffeine, but my job was next to a dunkin donuts that everyone went to and were constantly asking if i wanted anything from no matter how many times i said no. They were being polite, but it was like a drug addict constantly being asked if they want meth. Coffee meant adding cream and sugar because i like my coffee light and sweet. Then it turned into iced coffee with flavorings and caramel and whipped cream. Then actual donuts. Since I was working like 12 hour days plus 3 hours of travel I stopped meal prepping and juicing. I got back on bread and meat via pre-made sandwiches. Then I would come home and nothing would be open except the 7/11 so... I got those cheap burgers and some snack cakes. By this point I was officially done with my life style change I had worked so hard to maintain.
Within 2 or 3 years I had gained back all the weight i lost and i hated myself for it. I was let go from the company that caused all the stress and over eating, was at my heaviest of around 347, and now I was depressed from the job loss. I tried getting back into things, eating better, exercising, etc. But it felt so much harder. i a good 6 years older than the last time i tried to get healthy and now had the added stress of not being employed. I knew what I needed to do, but just couldn't bring myself to so it, which is worse. Being over weight sucks, but you can always be in denial about being able to lose weight. Losing weight and regaining it is far worse because you know you did it to yourself.
Now, I have a part time job and still worry about cash but it could be worse. I have gotten into meal prep, but because I started in January its been slim pickings for fresh fruit and veggies. I've lost around 15 pounds and hope to continue losing more. The hardest part for me is getting motivated to exercise. However, after about 4 weeks of cutting out processed sugar and soda and junk I am starting to feel a lot better already. Hopefully I can keep it up and look as healthy as Kevin does here.
If I could take the time to read what you wrote you can take the time to be healthy again!
Hey, man, don't give up on yourself, if you did it once u can definitely do it again! Stay strong and start throwing out all of your crappy foods and go to the grocery store and buy all new foods. Good luck!
@@ruckusgaming6855 Lol don't cut the carbs. Just look at what Kevin is eating XD
You don't need to cut out carbs just stick to healthy ones. I feel fine on rice but yeah sweet potato etc is great for you. You won't get fat eating potatoes. On another video Kevin actually says the first thing he did was go a few weeks JUST eating potatoes as advised from someone and he dropped so much weight. Then introduce other healthy foods.
Yes, Kevin took Penn's advice and ate nothing but baked potatoes for 14 days..no salt, butter, sour cream..just potatoes. His doctor thought it was a crazy plan but Kevin lost 19 lbs(mostly water weight but he was down to 230-240 that quick!). The doctor did blood tests and Kevin's numbers were unbelievably great after those 2 weeks..then Kevin stayed with Vegan as we see in this video and he's down about 60 lbs. to 198, maybe even lower. I don't know about you but I'm convinced with Vegan.
skinny Kevin Smith look like the not as popular Robert Downey Jr. brother...

Dude, been vegan since Jan. 1st, 2015. Health reasons as well. Was tired of Keto and not getting anywhere. So proud of you Kevin. Live for you and your family. Healthy plant based is the way for me.
Kevin probably won’t see this, but I’m SO happy you’re still around. I was legitimately sad when I heard of his heart attack. I went plantbased/vegan 3 years, and lost 135lbs, so I know the struggle. Keep kicking ass. I look forward to your podcasts all the time and I’m stoked on Jay and Silent Bob: Reboot.
I think this the best Gym & Frige. I mean this is the biggest change shown in the series that I've seen especially considering his age.
This is so awesome. I've been living in Mexico over the past few years, consequently I don't see or hear a lot of celebrity gossip. I didn't even know Kevin had had a heart attack. I'm gobsmacked at the change he's undergone. I went vegan myself around 3 years ago and it's made big changes in my life as well. Kudos Kevin!! I hope your example will convince your fans that meatless is the way to go!
I'm went vegan a couple of months ago and it is REALLY hard to to that living in Mexico City, in which we have a taco stand at every corner (and none of those had vegan options).
"An intense workout is something I would never do". Lol my kind of guy haha
Awesome you went vegan to fix health issues. Your daughter is obviously super smart. Congratulations!!
Finally a vegan who did it for health benefits and not because they cry about animals.
@@Wurmo you guys understand the vegan diet lacks many essential nutrients like dha,heme iron, fat soulble vitamins like a b d and k, taurine, carnotene,creatine, there's more. meat is the most nutrient dense food and you cut it out of your diet for health? I am aware on studies that link factory farmed meat to health problems but eating wild game is the best food for you. you have to run off carbs when you don't eat meatwhich spikes your insulin Everytime you eat leading to type 2 diabetes alztimers etc. Not to mention digesting carbs is very hard on the liver it's equivalent to drinking alcohol. A carnivore diet lowers insulin resistance. Carbohydrates are just glorified sugar.
Wurmo pretty much every vegan ever has cited health as a reason to go vegan. Not sure why you’re so proud about lacking empathy either.

@@KARENboomboomROXX Sorry to hear that - can't imagine why it would have done anything of the sort, however. Being vegan is an ethical stance. Ethics aren't usually life-threatening. 😉 In all seriousness, though, plant-based diets/lifestyles - when done properly - are the healthiest diets for human beings.
@@FreyjaJ im sorry but that is false. i looked into the biology of it and we are not apes. i'm not trying to be rude in anyway. i think for the most part what damaged my body the most in all honesty was trying to be raw. we are not designed to eat all this raw vegetation that if you look into it, all of it is genetically modified. none of the plants we eat today ever grew in the wild. it destroyed my bowel and subsequently the rest of me as i literally began to consume my own muscle tissue etc to survive. the lack of animal fats rendered me mentally unstable enough to realize what was happening until I prayed to God for answers which He swiftly gave to me in three days time. I ate fatty rib eye three times a day for 2 months and healed so rapidly it was astonishing. my family is THRILLED. as am i. I understand your staunch beliefs. I had them to but it was not from an ethical standpoint, it was about the blood type book,. I am A. I am supposed to be vegetarian according to that book. it hurt me BIG time.... in the long run.

Vegan cynics need to watch this cool guy's story, a vegan diet can only be good for you. Well done Kevin!
Right, because ice cream suddenly becomes healthy when you make it with coconuts. And processed soy patties combined with 100 other man-made ingredients is more healthy than a pastured cow. Moral? Maybe. "Only good for you"? Absolutely not.
You ever notice how humans ate animal products for millennia and only recently, with the inception of processed sugars and artificial oils, have chronic diseases such as heart failure, diabetes, alzheimers, tooth decay, and cancer become pandemic?
Unless you're eating oreos and potato chips. Eating healthy is a completely separate decision from eating vegan.
how the fuck does this show that going vegan is healthy? he already said that he drank 2 gallons of milk a day and ate twinkies and overindulged in all kinds of unhealthy foods.. he is not healthy because he went vegan.. he is healthy because he stopped eating unhealthy foods
But many of us are healthy on a non-vegan diet...
@@TylerMarton That was shocking about the milk.
My husband went vegan about 4 years ago. He lost a lot of weight too it just came off of him, he just watched it fall. He didn't even try! It's crazy! I just became vegan myself and I couldn't be happier! The thought it eating meat now actually turns my stomach.
you can see the pain in him I’m glad he was able to better himself. Being chubby I felt every word , some will laugh about the hockey joke but that’s deep, covering the pain with a joke , being so insecure all those years , all you miss out on and the mental pain throughout those years glad ur happy man it’s so worth it!

I lost my dad heart disease. Seeing Kevin Smith thrive after a massive heart attack fills me with joy.
I went Vegan & Lost 170 lbs. Saved my life as I'm almost 50 years old. I initially did it for the environment not for health reasons but like Kevin Smith said it was so easy. Fat, sugar & salt is what our taste buds crave & vegan food has all these things.
more like sugar and highly processed carbs carnivore saves lives not vegan
Yeah, so this is VERY convincing for me. WOW! Thank You, Kevin!
he is not healthy from going vegan.. he is healthy from not eating sugar, 2 gallons of milk per day, and all the other CRAP he used to eat...
My brother had the same transformation as Kevin. He got off insulin and his no longer has high blood pressure. It works, and he found it easy as well. He loves all the food he is eating now! Its been two years and his doctors are really impressed!

But you know better /s
Yay Kevin!
“Silent Bob gets Jacked”. I would see that movie!
Kevin has become quite the handsome fella
i've loved him for years, didn't think i could like him anymore, then he went vegan. YAY!!!
"I'm a greensman, a traveler of the greens". Love it. Thank you. Wish you were still fat for my own greedy body perception issues, but you give me confidence in your new body and lifestyle. You make it look obtainable Well, outside of not being able to afford a vegan diet on disability.
He's was already losing weight before his heart attack, but since then he looks amazing! I hope Kevin Smith discovered the secret to immortality.
Keith Brown I think he had lost weight before but he gained it back
@@guiltypleasureisland6642he gained some back yeah, everyone does, but he used to be way heavier than he was when he had the heart attack.

Baz The Storyteller Not better just healthier
@@janethockey9070 I don't know man, you mean vegan super powers aren't real?
there are plenty of unhealthy vegans just watch youtube @@janethockey9070
@@nottheone582 there are unhealthy people within every diet. Pointing to one person and attributing it to everyone is a terrible thing to do no matter what you're talking about.
Baz The Storyteller I’d do it for the vegan powers
Way to go Kevin! Congrats eh!
btw nice dog you have there... ;)
Two paws up! 🐾
Oh course _you_ would say that Rocko...😂
Weiner dog! 💖
My exercise is walking to the shops every day.
They're about 500 yds away.
So I'm with Kevin.
I am so glad he’s healthy. I was worried about him when he had that heart attack. He’s a genius film maker.
5:53 Kevin Smith "Ah an intense work out is something that I would never do, ah because that would turn me off to the idea of health and exercise." This guy gets it. .. RIP Brody w/ the assist.
All it takes to be a successful vegan is, you know, a little effort.
Easy, mostly whole food/plant based vegan home cooking ain't that hard. And if you need some good faux meat - Beyond or Impossible is fucking awesome. And Gardein frozen stuff like their meatballs, chicken strips, etc is good stuff.
Going vegan doesn't always mean going healthy, either. There is plenty of process foods that are vegan...and are terrible for you.
But with a little effort, you can eat great. I'm talking sugar, carbs (which AREN'T evil no matter what fad diets tell you) etc can still be in your diet with some knowledge and care.
Also, tons of money. It's a huge financial obstacle to those of us who are already struggling and failing to make ends meet, unfortunately.
Paul Little how do you people keep coming up with the most ridiculous excuses? Half of this planet can’t afford to eat meat lol. Countries like India are actually increasing global meat consumption because they’re coming out of poverty.
❤ Kevin Smith! Thanks for that.
I think Kevin is approaching this making ALL the right decisions.
Eat healthy food, walk with your dog 30-60 minutes every day. You will be sustainably healthy and no injuries.
Nothing to prove to anyone, just be healthy.
You forgot eating in moderation.
Kevin smith understands me so well. Just walking outside. I don't do strenuous exercise. Also, I had to eat healthier or else I was going to be chronically disabled. So there is that. My family has a history of autoimmune conditions. I was started to show symptoms. Anytime I am even the slightess bit of naughty I get achy and sore ankles, shins, and upper back. Makes it hard to sleep. Whole food plant based. For my life. Always making new and tasty recipes that I enjoy based off of whole foods.
I've been changing my diet as well and have adopted a lot of vegan products to my everyday eating habits. I TRULY cannot live without cheese, I'll put cheese on anything! But since I'm trying to shed all of my weight and be healthy I decided to cut back on cheese products and since I still need cheese in my life I have been substituting it with vegan alternatives and i gotta say there are some impressively good vegan cheeses! There were a few i didn't like at all and tasted like grade F pasteurized american cheese( you know the REALLY cheap one ) but I found a brand that they sale at a nearby store I had never been and theyre so inexpensive, a pack of sandwich sliced cheese for $1.99 , they taste great . I've also completely switched milk and now drinking almond milk which I dont mind at all and its super low in calories. I also found some chicken patties that i really liked and I swear they taste just like a jack in the box chicken sandwich, i still can't believe their vegan. Anyway, my point is if you start with cutting back some of the really bad things you can make a big impact on your health in the long run and now I've even lost 20lbs but I'm also exercising and cutting on my calories. I never was taught proper nutrition eating habits so i never thought twice about the stuff I would eat which was mostly junk food and fastfood. Either way, I have changed the my lifestyle and since doing it Ive noticed I'm not having shortness of breath, i sleep better, slightly more energy, not as much difficulty breathing and I can actually run a lot longer, lol. Anyway, good luck to anyone trying to make that healthy life change.
just here to tell you that you are awesome!
@@pascusrex4152 Thanks, bro. 😎 I really appreciate that a lot. 😀
That's awesome. If you ever really want to give up cheese, look up a youtube video called "dairy is scary." You won't look at it the same way ever again.
@@DeadwoodSD1876 I'll be sure to keep that in mind! Lol
@@DeadwoodSD1876 Cheese is unhealthy, bad for the environment and causes the abuse and murder of animals... Also it contains casomorphine which makes it addicting for humans and thats why you feel like you "TRUELY" need it🐄
i'm so glad you mentioned it wasn't difficult to be vegan. keep it going!! you look amahzing!!!
Denny's has some vegan options, so that's cool.
I love Kevin, so glad he's with us and getting healthier. He's seriously inspiring me to give at least vegetarian a try.
This is an older guy who never worked out before. Very inspirational
You know what.... I think i'm going to give the plant based diet a go.
Yeah, replacing the most nutrient dense foods on the planet for some plants and packaged non food shit that tries to imitate those nutrient dense foods.
What could go wrong...
@@takeoffyourblinkers nothing much at all really. I think it's great that someone of their own free will chooses to do research and try a different lifestyle. If you really hate people who live differently from you or try new things then you re evaluate yourself.
@@daveray5655
WOW!
Where the fuck did you come up with hating the way someone else lives because it is different than me?
My comment was a statement of fact.
Maybe it is time to evaluate yourself and the way you see things.
I was a vegan and it failed miserably, now I know why, due to research.
@@takeoffyourblinkers If you failed it's not my problem. I know for a fact that you can be healthy on a proper whole food plant-based diet. What you said isn't a fact it's an assertion based on anecdotal experience. The academy of nutrition and dietetics says anyone ant any point of life can be healthy as a vegan.
An example to disprove your claim is eggs. In the USA sellers cannot claim that eggs are part of a balanced diet, healthy, or even safe but they can call it nutrient-dense. Meanwhile, just egg is can be called those things and it's a vegan egg. Please stop assuming people are flawed for making certain decisions.
@@daveray5655
The most nutrient dense foods on the planet are animals foods, this is not an assertion, it is a fact, it is also the most bio available to boot.
So replacing them with plants, which vegans eat, ie fact, and packaged non food crap, which even vegans who follow a WFPB diet will agree with.
Look at the back of the labels, all non food isolates a crap.
Nothing I have said in my original statement is an assertion.
Also the Austrian food guidelines say you can eat as many eggs as you wish, and say full cream milk and cheese are good as well.
That's if you put any stock in those corps, which clearly you do.
Thumbs up for Shecky. He was quiet today, but Smodcast fans know this good boy's arf.
Shecky!!!!
Shut up!!!
more dachshund please.....(good job Kevin...glad you're still kickin)...
I think I need this in my life. So expensive to change your lifestyle but healthy is priceless.
You don't go buy a gun and hunt wild game it's cheaper and healthier then any organic quinoa carbs are just glorified sugar they will rot your organs and teeth. While destroying your brain in the process. Your brain is made of lipids and fats not carbs and sugar. Eat grass fed meat or wild game don't eat plants drink water
Some people dont have a second chance to change their lives. This man was blessed and I am glad to see he is taking advantage of that second chance.
The vegan options are endless!!! And they taste really good!
Cool vegan man!
You missed the point - "I used to be happy, now I'm a vegan"
@@robertgee4540 He says that (to be funny, I'm sure), but he looks happy to me.
he looks great! keep up with the diet dude, we want you to live a long time
5 years ago I would never have expected Kevin to be connected to Men’s Health. Good for him.
I tried going vegetarian a few years ago because I didn't crave meat but I accidently put myself into trouble, my body thought I was starving itself and began to eat my muscles until I was weak and sickly. I was informed that I had to eat way more and make an effort to gain some muscle mass (not bodybuilder type lol) or stop the diet. What needs to be considered here is what your work/lifestyle routine already is and make a plan for it not just blindly walk into it. I work in a receiving job with heavy lifting, pulling and a ton of walking so just going for a walk like Kevin's walk does very little for me. It's important to adapt what you need to eat and not what you think should be good enough, drink well and adjust your work out so that it best suits your individual needs which may also change as you go.
