If you've eaten low fat for years, incorporating more fat will probably help you feel better. Maybe try avocados, nuts, and seeds instead of killing animals for your food.
Are you trolling honestly?
I recommend Nutrtion Made Simple's recent reaction to Dr. Greger's teevee debate with {some idiot}. Dr. Greger does his usual overstating the heatlh benefits of veganism and it hurts him in the debate. Gil does a good job of going over the evidence as well as critiquing the debate itself.
@Res D I didn't even know that he's vegan until you mentioned it. All around good nutritional info.
@Gouda Phillipe you look like a women that would be in a WWE match holding baked beans
maybe she has a right to kill animals for food ; when god made the earth he said Adam i give you all the animals and plants of the world so if god says its ok who are you to say god is wrong
I am that person with IBS, multiple allergies and intolerances, and absorption issues. I haven't been able to go fully vegan but I've slowly worked my way further in that direction. It feels like the best way I can eventually get there and maintain it.
That‘s amazing, I wish you much continued success
same !!! i was fully vegan for a very long time but i have chrons and ibs symtoms and its hard for me to have lots of fiber sometimes. i have to limit beans which results in not getting as much protein :/ so i do have eggs sometimes and also more tofu since tofu has much less fiber. i noticed i get a lot less irritation if i have lots of smoothies for my fruits rather that eating it all whole, maybe cause the fiber is softened
I'm the exact same. I can't eat coconut, beans, nuts, and I think I'm starting to develop a soy intolerance 🥲 it's all about reducing as much as humanely possible, you're doing you're best and that's what's important ❤️ if you have any tips for getting protein with IBS I would love to hear em lol
Jakerton moment
Maybe there will be medical care for conditions like this in the future. I generally hope for the future of microbiological interventions. Since most of our hormone and immune health is from our microbiome.(not just internal) microbiome encompasses many areas.
Welcome to another edition of "I'm no longer vegan because I used as a crash diet to justify eating raw & other restrictions, then I felt better when I stopped starving!" 🥴🤡
THIS
I've been saying this for just 15 years 🤡, but people still get "shoked" by anorexic "vegans" leaving the diet.
Thank you, that's the clearest description ever, of that maddening phenomenon.👍🏽
You're so very kind. All I was hearing was propaganda, misinformation, poorly researched opinions represented as facts, and copious pretzel bending logic. Like she claims to have tried everything besides eating a "normal" vegan diet.
The vibe I got was "I'm eating meat now but I don't want a backlash so here's this convoluted story that makes me impervious to criticism because it's about my health."
@MdoubleHB John Rose is just an infogypsy
She don’t want to point blank accept it lol
To be fair, "bulking and cutting" is such a buzz phrase that I imagine plenty of LA trainers just throw it out there whenever doing anything with anyone, so god knows what kinda "program" she was on
I was so confused as to why food combining would be bad, but I thought it was something like "eat lentils with rice so you cover the whole spectrum of aminon acids" OH BOY was I wrong - going for a full on deep dive on your earlier videos on her now!
@MdoubleHB this is hilarious, thank you
Haha it’s so stupid and insane that normal ppl like us can’t even fathom that would be considered an option
I thought the same, like combine beans with nuts so that you get leucine from the nuts that aren't that much in beans 😂 when she said don't eat carbs with protein I was like what the hell is this 😅
Not video related but I LOVE your kids drawings. The pink cat is so cute 🥰
Why did you assume those were kids drawings?😁
I was also about to comment about the drawings they're so cute
She’s with Gary V now. He left his entire family for her, and well… he flips on his diet as well. Who knows 🤷🏽♀️
...Gary Vaynerchuck? Haven't heard that guy's name in years.
I thought this was a joke😅 that's wild
Whaaat?! No way! The crossover I never expected.
It's strange that she "tried everything" but didn't talk about GI testing, including a colonoscopy. That was the second thing my GI tried after taking samples. I'm not even really mad when other people change their diet but don't misrepresent yourself when you don't even try adding fat and eating more calories.
And some of the best advice I've ever gotten from a celebrity was from Dita Von Teese who once said the best doctor is the one that takes your health insurance.
Exactly 💯! Anyone who claims to have severe chronic GI illness yet hasn't gotten a colonoscopy certainly hasn't "tried everything" & I'm skeptical that they're even diagnosed. That is the first diagnostic tool that is used. These ex-vegans will all eat meat prior to undergoing the slightest discomfort themselves, eg a colonoscopy. 🤷🏼♀️
It’s not really the “first” diagnostic tool for lower GI issues. For young people, doctors do not order a colonoscopy as the first line. It’s US, labs, sample tests, and ultimately diet that is the first line. For better or for worse but it makes sense to the dr (and insurance) to try the less invasive factors. Even if you’re seeking a colonoscopy, getting a dr to get on board as well as insurance if you’re young isn’t the easiest thing.
The fact that she went to "all these gastros" is at least a yellow flag. Sure, you can happen upon a doctor you don´t mesh with. Nothing wrong with getting a second opinion even when you do. But "all these gastros" suggests at least four. And after four gastroenterologists it´s highly unlikely not one suggested reducing her fiber intake (and probably adding more calories, given how emaciated she (still) looks).
I’ve had ibs for the past 10 years. I went to 4 doctors before settling with the fifth so it doesn’t surprise me. None of the first four doctors said anything about diet. One of them had me do a gastroscopy which made sense but other than that they all kept giving me random pills that did nothing and telling me to go to a psychiatrist since it’s all in my head apparently.
Fifth doctor made me do a colonoscopy, but as someone else before me said they don’t usually prescribe it to young people. All of them said they didn’t really wanna put me through it, as this whole thing started when I was 17, but I had it done so we could rule everything else out at the end.
@@margauxstanitsas927 I had a colonoscopy at 32. First appointment was blood work and stool samples and then they called to set up a colonoscopy. I was 32 and Blue Cross paid after a standard pre-authorization from my GIs office. This lady is white, 35 or 36, underweight, which is a huge red flag for gastric cancers, and dating a millionaire so there are no roadblocks for her to get any diagnostics that she needs.
normally i don’t care about influencers like her but that lady really does irk the shit out of me lol. thank u for calling out her bs!!!!
Someone trying to fix their health irks you?
@@sarahjaye4117 it’s not that she’s trying to fix her health. It’s that she spouts misinformation and pushes one-size-fits-all ideology while doing the opposite privately.
unnatural vegan irritates with her arrogance and fakeness shes is no different from other vegans
@@mariharrik5987 you’ve left 50 comments on her channel so apparently you still stick around long enough to give her channel views and engagement. Thanks 😊
I love that kitty drawing SO much!
What, 5 seconds in to the video and she says "journey"? That's *gotta* be a record
OMG, same. I started with health because, well duh...I wouldn't self sacrifice. I don't believe in that stuff, I believe in fairness and equally. HOWEVER unlike any other diet, the ethics is why I stay. It has a deeper meaning to me than every other diet out there, conventional or fad. I wouldn't seriously harm myself while helping others (the vegan diet) but stay safe/healthy while helping others and saving as many lives as I humanly can. It's only fair that I count myself as worthy of less harm too.
This was a really sensible and empathetic response, good job.
being poor in university has been the best asset for my vegetarianism
I sometimes take a stroll down the meat section to look at prices. I am used to getting beans from the Mexican grocery store for $1 a pound. So I am always a bit surprised at how expensive meat is. It seems that the only cheap options are the hot dogs made out of the lips and ass that weren't good enough for dog food. That and the clearance section.
Ikr! I remember getting 4 of the "Oriental" vegan ramens for $1, that was a whole day of filling, satisfying food (although I'd add a little coconut oil because it helps my menstrual cycle to have some healthy oils).
Sometimes though, whenever I had to up for 24 hours, I'd literally eat it dry like potato chips 😅
My experience with IBS is that it’s never consistent you always have to try new things but cutting dairy does tend to help tremendously lol
Bloating is always an issue tho and it can get pretty demotivating but her advice is horrendous I think having a constructive and patient outlook on it has served me best so far cause some days it just can’t be helped
I don't get why, if you're struggling with a vegan diet, you don't just go to a vegetarian diet. It's much easier to stick to and it is better than an omnivorous diet. Progress not perfection.
Absolutely! Due to disability and chronic illness I don't always have the energy to make food. Little Ceasars pizza is a cheap and easy option. I get a cheese pizza. If vegan isn't going to happen I at least do vegetarian.
@@jennoscura2381 She can’t digest cheese or wheat, me neither, especially dairy but I wish , have disabilities as well
@@sarahjaye4117 That's too bad. My cousin has celiac. I can only imagine how much of a hassle it i to avoid gluten.
As a person with IBS and had SIBO, vegan lifestyle has helped me so much. I was vegan before, but with working with my doctor and nutritionist helped me eat in a different way. I will say that my doctor DID say to avoid raw fruit, but only when treating SIBO. It one of the only times that's okay for a doctor to suggest that.
vegan absolutely destroyed my gut and worsened my candida. i watched my friend with breast cancer go vegan and her cancer literally GREW eating the healthiest most unprocessed vegan foods. it ain't for most people. healing shouldn't be so expensive especially while you're paying all this money to miss critical nutrients like DHA, EPA, iron, selenium, zinc, k2, and at least half of the B vitamin complex- theres very little wellbeing for me in that.
In her early videos she talks about how she became vegan during or right after college to lose weight because she felt pudgy...
Thank you for talking about bulking and cutting and how difficult and complicated it actually is. :) It takes a lot of discipline and knowledge... It is just for aesthetics, yes! Haha many who do this are competing in body building competitions.
I started bloating bad prior to being vegan, and continued to deal with it for years while vegan. Eventually, I did a vegan keto diet for a project in college (wanna talk about heck? Yeah. Pure torment!). After a few weeks in nutritional ketosis, I was no longer bloating. Stayed that way for a few months after no longer doing vegan keto. Never was able to find out why.... Tho I do know that large meals, and lots of beans, bloat the ever living bleep outta me. Eating certain spices helps me not bloat.
How the heck does vegan keto even work???
@@Spatzenzunge a LOT of fat. Carbs reduced to a certain amount, depending on activity level. Ketosis is activated through eliminating carbs as an adequate source of energy, and switching to fats. The body switches to using fats for energy as a survival response. This is one reason why weight loss happens when someone enters into a nutritional ketosis (ketone levels in blood stream will indicate when this is reached). The experiment was to find out if nutritional ketosis was possible on a vegan diet. It is! But it is not enjoyable. Lol
@@Spatzenzunge tf u mean? nut butters and a bunch of vegetables are perfectly available on a keto diet. Coconut and olive products even. Lard and milk aren't the only low carb sources, you know.
@@silentfriend369 Kudos to you for being able to stick with that for a period of time! I used to follow a vegan influencer who went vegan keto and started promoting her keto coaching business -- all she ever seemed to eat was tofu, mushrooms, kale, olive/coconut oil and avocados. I had to unfollow her because she kept preaching about how it was the only way she could maintain her weight and it seemed like she was heading down the path of orthorexia.
The reddit vegan sub recently promoted a blog post from a recent ex-vegan with an interesting timeline:
1. She had health issues while being an omni, where I can't remember if she specified what those issues were.
2. She went plant based, accidentally gluten-free because she thought gluten is not vegan. So she stopped eating bread and other gluten containing products.
3. Her issues got a lot better on plant-based.
4. After one year she started eating bread again because she found out that gluten IS vegan (doh!).
5. Her issues worsened so much that she was admissioned to a hospital, I believe. Her family was like: "We told you from the start".
6. She went omni again with a heavy heart because she really was a vegan for the animals. Continued with eating gluten. Her issues were still excruciating.
7. She didn't make the connection of gluten reuptake and issues. But finally found out through elimination diet that it was gluten all along.
7. She's now an even more committed vegan.
I for myself am very lucky that my body doesn't seem to reject any plants. I seldomly have any gastro issues anymore since switching to plant based compared to before the switch. I think preparation and cooking is important, e.g. rinsing or soaking lentils, cooking them, using the water-replacement method with rice. Using higher heat resistant oils when frying and trying to prevent burning. I eat a lot of seeds like quinoa, hemp or flax and fruits raw though.
Edit: Forgot the whole "going omni again" thing
For anyone interested, squats are a predominately quad focused exercise. Obviously, you glutes will do some work, but the load is mostly on your quads. A glue focused exercise would be a hip. Also, as a NASM CPT, I can 100% confirm that no where in that course do they recommend a bulk/cut cycle for gaining muscle. It’s all about the progressive overload. 💪
I have IBS and am a strict vegetarian. It is possible, you have to identify your trigger foods and avoid them, but it does not rule it out. As you say, letting yourself eat processed food (white rice, certain cereals, etc) and not eating only healthy food is helpful
yeah, my husband did fine on brown rice/pasta etc when eating meat when we went pb/(i went vegan) he needes ti such to white rice etc because its just too much fiber for him otherwise.
its so frustrated that people just deem them as bad
Hi 😊 so I was watching one of your older videos. I think it was your "This is what vegan privilege looks like" video. In the video you mention maybe doing a shopping vegan at the dollar store video. Are you still going to do that some day. No pressure of course. I was just curious. Thanks ☺️
Cheap Healthy Vegan made such a video followed by a video of her cooking with what she bought. She lives in Canada, but it's maybe mostly the same food anyway?
My stomach problem stop around 4 years of veganism. Like by magic . Maybe by eating more food with lot of fat, my best advise is to always eat your veggies with oil and good spice and sriracha of course.
I’m really happy this worked for you! But unfortunately it doesn’t work for everyone, me included.
The only time I’ve ever felt a bit better in the past 10 years was in a low FODMAP higher protein diet. For example eating sriracha would absolutely murder me cause I can’t take garlic at all.
I’ve had to go back to eating a pescatarian diet. I don’t like it but I literally cannot do anything because of ibs and I’m tired of throwing away my life because of it. I wish veganism had worked for me.
Are pharmDs allowed to use the title Dr? Idk about the states but they’re not allowed in Canada
So I had an ED for many years and the restriction messed up my gut SO aggressively. I thought I had so many food sensitivities and a very fragile stomach. Cut to being 3 years in recovery, and my stomach can handle pretty much anything I put in it. Refeeding took a while, but once my stomach was just used to managing volume and digesting food again, bloating is pretty much gone (except for the first couple days of my period) and I very comfortably eat a varied and delicious plant based diet. If she was eating so few calories, I'm not surprised by the bloating 🫠
She was on shahs of sunset. That’s how I even know her
I think that "chose vegan" os always a better proposal than "go vegan". Because, maybe due to our religious background, people tend to identify veganism as a life commitment and this creates a lot of misunderstandings, shame and social pressure for a thing that is just about engaging however you can in a solution. This reinforces a pattern of discourse that is detrimental for the cause. Like instead of saying "I mostly eat vegetarian" people will say "oh, I once was vegan but now I eat fish".
The dismissive, villainizing attitude toward mock meat is so frustrating to me, too, esp. alongside the lionizing of animal meat. How is processing veggies into meat using machines so different from how animals (very inefficiently) process veggies into meat?? Thanks so much for your reasoned and sympathetic approach to these videos.
Well, it very simple. The less processed the better for your health. It's already common knowledge that the healthiest food is usually as unprocessed as possible. Sausages are very processed while pure meat with a little spice on top is unprocessed as little as possible. So the healthiest option is obviously tge second one. Vegans do claim they are healthy etc etc so imagine them processing stuff to such an extent and call it healthy as well... It actually sounds like nonsense.
Edit: Also, aren't those mock meat meant to draw in more people to try being vegan?
I hope you are aware that rhe more processed foods can heighten the chance of getting cancer so it's kind not looking good to promote vegan through food that increase your chances of getting cancer.
It would be like you straight out spitting on the people while also telling them to be happy and thankful to get cancer.
@Jonah Whale I very much doubt it's going to stay like this though. Just because there is none right now, doesn't equal there won't ever be evidence to suggest otherwise. Never forget that there was once a time where pregnant women were told by doctors to smoke as that was supposedly good for them.
@Jonah Whale I didn't paint them to be equally bad, that was you. I brought an example of how there not existing right now doesn't equal that later there won't be. I never once said they are equally bad. Then again, who knows what they are actually putting there for them to taste like meat? They could be lying about some ingredients, you wouldn't know that.
I personally think people in America should rather focus more on how much sugar they're consuming than put so much focus on how bad meat is. Sure American industry should change how they process it. Fat itself isn't actually bad especially if it is in colder environments. Plus I see a lot of vegans pretty much promoting the idea that the meat is poorly processed so whose to say the problem really wasn't always that? The reason why it's so unhealthy for people to consume it?
I know my countries meat is pretty clean and hasn't made me feel sick. Our food in general is more on the fatter side because we live in a place where it can go over - 20°C.
Not the best example plus Europe also has a more stricter view on allowed ingredients.
For example McDonald's tastes fine but after consuming it I feel sick compared to the other burgers I have eaten. There are also Americans saying after being in Europe things tasted better and they felt more energized but after returning to America they felt sick again until they got used to it. Which kind of speaks for itself on how unhealthy even the supposed healthy food is. Perhaps vegans are just paying better attention on what they are eating and from where which is why they will end up picking healthier food in general.
@Jonah Whale
I genuinely believe it's a mistake to believe you are saving animals by being a vegan. Do you really believe that by being vegans we aren't hurting other animals? Deforesting to create more land to grow vegetables etc? No, we can't eat what we feed our cattle because they too need to eat. Do they need our care too? Yes of course they do so someone has to take care of them as well while gaining nothing from it. The land fertilizer will have to be only the chemical ones too - no animal poop anymore despite it being the most organic one. Do you genuinely believe that the medicine as in taking in vitamins not in the more traditional way, is not going to hurt your body in the long run? Perhaps we should both also look into what kind of waste is produced to make those vitamins? Probably not as environmentally friendly as they still need to package those things and they most likely have a standard too to fulfill. What about the colder places? How is such a diet even sustainable there? They can't grow their own crops as much as those warmer places? + they also need to produce even more to replace the meats fulfilling abilities. More Deforesting! It's not healthy to only eat plants. Did you know plants are poisonous too? Reason why I ended up with stomach burns when I ate too much on the vegan side. I still needed a fatty yogurt on the side to make the burn go away. It's not healthy and definitely not going to save any animals if you actually understand what you are asking for.
Edit : do you also not realize you can over use land? They also need time to rejuvenate so we won't all end up starving because we decided to save our cattle at the price of forest animals and later maybe even eat them anyway because we were foolishly over using our land.
@Jonah Whale did you straight out ignore the fact that you absolutely can't stop feeding those same animals we feed to kill later? They will depend on humans because they will need us to keep them healthy and fed. Which would also mean it needs to be done for free which is a big problem. Sheep need to be shaved so they don't suffocate in their own wool. There are animals who are more sensitive to the cold so they need to have shelter. Cows have to be milked otherwise they will get sick.
I know soy can cause infertility and problems while pregnant. I drank that while pregnant and my baby stopped growing at the last month hence needed to come out of me quicker for his safety. I didn't know this and that was a very upsetting experience.
Please never forget that despite your or anyone else's ego, we are animals as well. All we have is our higher intelligence and that's all that makes us different from them. Nothing else. It's kind of egotistical to even believe it's helping anyone while ignoring serious problems with such beliefs.
Love that I got a Dairy Farmers of America ad before this video 🙄
I feel like for most of these people getting off social media for a while and just living would be best for their health... like that hidden steak story was super sad and, I'm sorry, totally ridiculous.
What is the hidden steak thingy?
@@elloohno1349 at an event so hangry she couldnt handle it so she had her boyfriend get a piece of steak and pretend it was for himself then sneak little pieces to her in her purse or something so nobody saw.
It sounds like she was told to do low FODMAP or other elimination diets, but those diets are not meant to be permanent. They are meant to help you identify triggering foods and are only to be done for a few weeks. You must ADD foods back in after figuring out your triggers. It really sounds to me like she misunderstood the purpose of the elimination diet.
I started just eating vegan for health reasons. While searching for recipes online I encountered videos like yours and could no longer ostrich on the issues. So now my health has improved but I'm staying a vegan for ethical reasons.
I always thought it was particularly laughable how she, as a pharmD, made a "protein bar" video in which she recommended LARA bars for being a naTUraL and made of wHoLe FoODs. For a hot minute I thought her channel was just elaborate trolling...💀
I’m not fully vegan but the moment I stopped worrying about everything little thing in my food, my gut issues got better. Go figure
Absolutely love your channel, Swayze. I’ve been a long time viewer and I just love how down you earth and relatable you are! You make veganism accessible and not so intimidating 💜
@mdoublehb6069 ironic you mention wasting her life when you yourself have left 249 comments on her videos, so you’re helping her channel ❤️ I think she’s a great mom!
@mdoublehb6069 🤦🏻♀️ whatever you need to tell yourself…
@mdoublehb6069 what are you talking about? Swayze is a vegan, even if she doesn’t eat raw anymore.
@mdoublehb6069 LOL okay 👍
wasnt she also the one that put the phd title in her name and it turned out she doesnt hold one
The antibiotics were probably because of a positive SIBO test. Unfortunately it really needs to be combined with diet changes and probiotics and can be really hard to beat and is kind of hell. If she did indeed have SIBO she might have been advised to cut out a lot of legumes which can make staying vegan hard, but I do know people who were able to take care of their SIBO while remaining vegan
Good for her I'm so happy to see another one leaving!.
Everytime these guys try something new they talk about the new thing with such confidence as if they have all the answers again and know all the science.
Sounds like Mona cannot handle all the fiber like many of us so her diet was probably restricted before because she could not handle eating more fiber which is also displayed with her experience increasing her caloric intake on plant foods causing discomfort.
I'd love to see a video from you on your opinion of the concept of harm reduction when it comes to this like addiction. I think you'd have a really interesting take on it.
The biggest problem with the vegan label is vegans. There are no shortage of vegans who will revoke your vegan card if you aren't 110% vegan.
My diet isn't totally vegan. Due to disability and chronic illness I don't always have the energy to cook. I am poor. So in those situations I order a cheese pizza from Little Ceasars. Pizza is something I am almost always down to eat. So I opt for the less bad affordable option. I also operate in grey areas where I feel that I am not supporting the exploitation of sentient beings. Like buying stuff on clearance. Grocery stores have a very low profit margin. If something sells on clearance they aren't making money off of it. They are simply losing less money than if they just tossed it out. So I am not supporting the exploitation of sentient beings if buy animal products on clearance. It's hard to stay vegan. So I allow these things in my diet. Unfortunately mock meats aren't cheap. If I could afford to regularly buy them; things would be so much easier.
One could argue that I am not actually vegan. But from an ethical standpoint I think I am. I define veganism as "Not supporting the exploitation of sentient beings to the extent that it is reasonable to do so". Which is basically a simplified version of the definition from the vegan society. There is certainly a debate to be had about whether buying animal products on clearance counts as supporting the exploitation of sentient beings; or whether it's reasonable to order a cheese pizza when I am out of spoons. But far too many vegans don't want to have this discussion and instead want to revoke your vegan card if you consume animal products at all. Never mind the fact that I am well aware that the pork I bought on clearance is the flesh of an intelligent sentient being. Something that made me uneasy and will probably result in me no longer buying animal flesh even in situations I think are ethical.
All of this makes me not want to call myself a vegan even though my choices are based on animal ethics and I think in line with ethical veganism. On the other hand the label is useful to share with other people because it gives them a clear idea of what food they can give me. It avoids having to explain "my diet is mostly vegan but I make exceptions in these limited circumstances that I feel are in line with ethical veganism".
Unfortunately the label issue isn't simple. Do we need a new label for people like me? I know I am not the only person opening in grey areas. Cheap Lazy Vegan did a video on grey areas like second hand leather.
If anyone has any ideas for a label please let me know.
I think you should be able to give yourself whatever label you see fit. There are tons of choices! Mostly vegan, 99% vegan, vegan except for pizza... 😂idk. I have been vegan for over three decades with no intentional slip ups (I'm pretty sure I must have accidentally use or consume animal products a bunch of times along the way) and I have no problem with people using the labels they see fit. Most of my extended family is vegan, with some vegetarians and a couple who call themselves 'mostly vegan vegetarians' (which basically means they are 100% vegan at home but more relaxed about it when they travel or eat out).
@@veganforthem76 Thanks for your reply. In the end what really matters is the animals. I am doing a heck of a lot more than more people.
if you're desperate to eat animals products, canned oysters and clams are relatively cheap. (this is called ostroveganism/bivalveganism)
if you're buying cheap canned food anyway get cans of chickpeas and tahini and make hummus on a weekend and eat canned chickpeas sauteed with garlic and onions and whatever frozen veggies you have that you get eat with rice
@@frankchen4229 I am familiar with ostroveganism. I learned about it on this channel. Unfortunately I tried some oyster sauce and didn't like it. Which isn't surprising. I didn't like any fish or animal seafood.
Probably something like plant-based would be more accurate but the only people who are going to get angry about you using the term vegan are the vegans no one wants to be around anyways 😂
Just started watching the video but wanted to ask why you don’t think a cardiologists job is to advise their patients on how to eat? It would likely be to avoid heart disease in the future?
"The Celery Guy" 😆
Also: bulk/cut cycles originally come from professional bodybuilding where steroids are used which help you gain more muscle during bulking but also keep them during cut phase.
Was all this done in response to having a little pouch at the front of her stomach? With no discomfort?
Great review and I agree on most things you commented, however I do believe ayurvedic principles are not “shit”, as you’ve put it, but are in fact very supportive, if you suffer for example from poor digestion/ have a past with IBS etc. warm and cooked meals are soothing to the stomach, plus combined with certain spices (fennel, cumin etc.) they (scientifically proven) reduce gas and bloating.
I notice more now, companies that were introduced vegan options and having vegan options replaced their main dishes are now turning back. For example dunkin that stopped the beyond brand sausage due to "low sales"
Unfortunately the whole keto/paleo whatever is popular right now. Especially amoung the "natural" health crowd. Hopefully it will not last too long. It's a really annoying trend.
People lost their shit over Cracker Barrel offering Impossible breakfast sausage as another breakfast protein option. They still had all the original choices. But just adding a vegan option was enough for people to want to boycott the place. It's ridiculous.
We visible vegan conservatives so other conservatives will get the message that veganism is ok.
It's because the meat substitutes have absolute garbage ingredients and have been shown to contain very large amounts of glyphosate and other harmful toxins.
@@jennoscura2381 I tried the vegan cracker barrel option. It was pretty good.
@@DM-ql6ps the stuff from Impossible Foods is fantastic. If you want to try the Impossible Burger get an Impossible Whopper at Burger King.
She's looks like 2002 if it were a woman
The lady was bloated becuase she's messed up her digestion and during her bulk she was eating too much for herself.... it's really not that complicated. She knows nothing about nutrition, it pains me.
This has nothing to with your video, but the little pink drawing is adorable.
I had severe digestive issues and went to a dietician, and we were able to fix my sibo and Candida with some herbal pills, a strict diet, and probiotics. They really push keto and cutting carbs for these issues, but once you get all better you can slowly work back to your ideal diet and this time without a fucked up stomach.
Iodine deficiency can cause hair loss, impair the thyroid, and negatively impact metabolic function. Iodine rich foods are essential for optimal human health.
I really wish I could be vegan to be honest!! I just have multiple medical conditions relating to the gut that make it impossible for me! I can't have fiber or a lot of fat, and all vegan foods fall into either category sadly. If you have recommendations for food that is low fat (under 10g of fat per serving) and low fiber, let me know! It sucks that most processed vegan food has more fat than non vegan food, making it very difficult for me to be vegan. My body was just not made for a lot of food lol. I rarely eat red meat also due to the fat, I eat lean chicken, low amounts of cheese, and I can't have milk lmao
TDLR; My body will kill me due to the healthy fats and the fiber in vegan diets and I don't have the option of making stuff myself
Millets, grains are very low in fiber and fat
eat oysters and mussels.
@@lisanyugenhascancer6332 those are. Just carbs. I can't eat just carbs?????
@Frank Chen my mom is allergic to shellfish, sadly, so we can't keep it in the house :( im trying, but there's not much I can do
How do u feel about vegans with service animals
You can make nice fried breakfast with mushrooms baked beans and vegan sausages
I’m vegan for 3rys now and now after recovering acne bad gut health without medication🌱💪 and I think its one of the best decisions of my life
give it time ;)
Sugar-coating for yourself and generally denial is not a healthy habit to get into from a psychological point of view. Even outside the context of veganism it might at best give you some short-term wins but at the price of self-alienation and that results in insecurity.
Clearly we need to better regulate who can call themselves a doctor
Wow. I see some progress here. I think TH-cam is helping us to have actual conversations we're we all make comfortable decisions based on that. We do not have to be vegan but our goal is to get there some day.
People who don't know any better tend to research themselves in to the ground. They read spinach has oxalic acid and 20min later, they're in a deep wiki hole, and have gone carnivore.
I really hope the oyster thing catches on.
I've never cared what others think, I believe a good sense of self helps create this.
I disagree about bulking and cutting.
The reality is that it's very difficult to put on mass at maintenance calories or even with a small surplus. It'll take you 2-3 years of "leanbulking" to get the same results as 6-12 months of bulk/cut. It'll affect your strength gains too, which for me is a huge motivation -- stagnating numbers really suck.
No need for a dirty/crazy bulk like this lady was allegedly advised, just go 500 calories above maintenance for 3-4 months, then 500 below maintenance for 2-3 months, rinse and repeat. If you gain/lose too quickly, adjust your calories.
Of course, as you said, you've got to push yourself hard in the gym -- your body needs a use for the extra calories. Doubt this lady was doing this.
do I hear eating disorder screaming back there? No?
I have struggled with an eating disorder for as long as I can remember…I’ve always wanted to go vegan but every time I try to make that jump my eating disorder tendencies are triggered…Is there anything I can do to lessen those tendencies? I know it’s all mental but it’s hard.
what the hell is low fodmap?? 💀
Most patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) associate their symptoms with eating and many patients ease their symptoms by avoiding certain foods or using elimination diets. An elimination diet involves taking multiple foods out of your diet, followed by a period of reintroduction of these foods, in order to determine your personal food sensitivities. The most extensively studied elimination diet for IBS is the low FODMAP diet. FODMAP stands for Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols, and consists of groups of certain types of carbohydrates that are thought to trigger GI symptoms. The Low-FODMAP diet was conceived about 10 years ago about by Australian researchers and is the elimination diet thought to be most effective for treating IBS related symptoms.
Can’t relate but appreciate her trying to figure out what works but at the same time it’s probably tough being a public facing person that stands on health while being so worried about what others think. Might feel better to just be like hey I don’t & I’m figuring it out instead. Unrelated, some mock meats wreak HAVOC on the stomach. I feel like that’s a conversation that needs to be had a bit more too.
I feel you on the "omg I'm so restricted and boxed in as a vegan" thing. I don't feel that way at all. Although I only went vegan 6 months ago so maybe I'll feel that eventually
What is the name of the channel with the psychopath interview? That sounds interesting.
There is more to Southern California than LA. There are wonderful inland cities where people are neighborly, and closer to the mountains:)
@user-gl9hg6mi2b You are not Unnatural Vegan lol
What if a lot of this digestion issues are in the head? Stress can make people physically ill. Maybe she puts too much pressure on herself and what/how much she eats.
She looks more healthy, but she could use even more calories
My wife get Hangry… it’s low blood sugar.
I meet people all the time who have been told by regular doctors NOT to eat fruit or many veggies whatsoever!!!
Wtf
Please make a video about anti nutrients, i've heard there's a new study (from sweden i think ) about anti nutrients and iron content of vegan meats
I cannot believe she has a degree in pharmacy and at the same time believes in all this pseudo science, like how?? How can you have studied science and still deny it?
She seems the trendy type. Maybe she went to school for the title so people could approve of her. I don't.
Again, let's be very clear about adopting a plant-based diet for health, weight loss, whatever vs. adopting a vegan lifestyle because it benefits the environment, animals, etc. Two very different things.
Apparently, it's very frowned upon now to tell people to lose weight. There's like a whole movement telling people to refuse getting weight at doctor's appointment, even when you're pregnant (!) as it can be "triggering".
Right decision. Her health is the most important.
I actually think she looks slightly better before than in this latest video, but there's hardly any difference! And that's only aesthetics, whether she's physically healthier none of us can know.
In my protocol, it has to be started with adaptation, roughly six months with minerals optimisation. Lack of Iodine may be the cause. Then until the iodine is optimised, selene and zinc, then cruciferous vegetables are out of the plate. Otherwise it’s sauerkraut.
Legumes, are depending on the potassium status. Then good skills with herbs and spices.
Plant based requires a rigorous study. The adaptation though, equals in both meat based and plant based. It’s the microbiome programming.
No need to tell one’s diet isn’t good with any adaptation successfully done. If it’s not working, it’s not properly done.
Perhaps, the personality thing could be key in food choice. I felt like a demon sitting on my shoulders when I ate beef. Heavy, stiff and frightening. Somewhere in the genetics, transporter of hormones must have something to do with it, other than microbiome.
Great video! 👍
People who ate grain fed red meat with an unhealthy life style were unhealthy, but people eating grass fed beef with a healthy lifestyle were healthier? Was it really what the animals ate?
I read that cow who eat grains have stomach pains because grains are harder for them to eat. If they eat grass, they won’t have as many stomach problems and will be able to get more nutrients.
If anyone is thinking about going vegan lease get under the care of a nutritionist who specialize in veganism. Many people who are on a ''normal'' diet don't even know how to eat. How are they going to go vegan with all of the rules, regulations, fasting and cleansing.
How is mona from Shahs of sunset now Gary V gf a dr?
I would be so interested in seeing someone who has a million food allergies and is vegan. I know buff bunny has a lot of food allergies but is not vegan
She only noticed that she had a bloating "problem" when someone told her that her belly was distended due to gas, not because of fat?
She apparently doesn't have a real digestive issue (cramping, pain, diarrhea, constipation), she has an aesthetic issue.
Gas production in the gut is normal. We all fart around 15 x per day. After a more fibrous meal, we produce more gas. That has nothing to do with any disorder or food intolerance. She just doesn't like that it gives her a little belly.
My minipigs love to graze. After a day of eating grass, they are rotund little tons. I am glad they aren't concerned about their figures.
If she had discussed this along the lines of pain and cramps, I'd be more sympathetic.
Plus bloating tends to be more obvious on someone with a small frame like she has.
Don’t like this girl Mona but just gonna say, it’s not normal to fart that much
My aunt's sister has RA and had to switch from a vegetarian diet to almost exclusively meat from her rheumatologist. It's the only thing that has worked for her...
I also have inflammation issues. Gluten free, dairy free, sugar/sweetner free worked well for me. But I didn't see progress till one month very strict on this plan.
Lol Ive been vegan almost 4 years and lost almost 50lbs and now I suddenly have heart palpitations... blood work is good, and tests are all good. They are disturbing. PVC's.
You probably think Bill Gates is a good guy too 😂
Ive expected this one wayyy earlier. 😂😂 shes the one i used to watch when i was looking for weight loss advice. Im sure she didnt mean bad but man her advice seriously sucked
You all want just to be lean. At wathever cost. 🤦
@@paolarosichetti899 i just wanted to be accepted. At all cost. Think before you write.
@@elahalilovic6070 Honey, I know what you are going through, my stepdaughter is in an ED treatment center.
But I assure you that acceptance from others doesn't pass through physical appearance. if a person is good-natured, or vice versa, it is regardless of the size of his clothes.
I wish you the best. ❤️
When you're skinny, your body holdss on to fat around your stomach because it's trying to protect your organs.
That was bloating, not fat
She might have meant PRO-biotics instead of ANTI-biotics? They're different but she messes up her words earlier so it's a possibility. I'm not a doctor and she might have explained her symptoms in a way to a doctor that warranted the antibiotics. Idk.
no way a "pharmacist" would confuse those two words.
So am I perceiving correctly that she stopped being vegan because she felt like her already very thin body was holding onto belly fat, which was actually distention. Meaning she couldn't tell the difference between adipose tissue and the belly expanding from consuming food? And she went to her doctor about her perceived fat, which again, was on a very, very thin body? And then she now can't be vegan because she feels like getting rid of the small amount of bloating and she can't do that with plant foods? Is no one else feeling a little weird about this entire line of thinking? Being promoted? She's very thin. It doesn't seem that the bloating was painful or disrupting her life other than she wants to have a perfectly flat stomach all the time? So?? I'm 100% her body her choice, but it seems like she's struggling with some major diet culture pressure? That maybe should be more a priority?
Yeah I have so much to say about this… lol but I agree with everything you are saying especially the antibiotic thing. I refuse to go on antibiotics unless I REALLY need to. The only times I’ve been on them recently (past couple years) were IV antibiotics twice for sepsis one time in which I had to have surgery bc of an abscess in my neck, twice for tooth infections, once for tooth extraction (had 6 teeth removed) and I had to do a month of doxycycline plus a few others for some stds I got while homeless (fun right) nothing permanent thank god. Other than that I haven’t let anyone put my on them bc I’ve been on enough the past couple years lol but my cousin has chronic limes and some other shit but I think most of her stuff is psychosomatic from what she’s told me but I’d never say that to her not bc I don’t want to but bc my mom won’t let me lmao. She said she can see the bacteria on her skin and has “breakouts” from bacteria like um ok but basically whenever she “feels bad” she goes in antibiotics and no wonder she has no immune system no joke and it drives me nuts bc like she’s not just hurting herself but like everyone but if I explain it to her she goes into a bunch of pseudoscience and you can’t argue with ppl like that bc they don’t care about facts it sucks lol maybe I’ll send her your videos. If I really need them I’ll take them but I’m not gonna do “preventative antibiotics” like “just incase” which I’ve deadass had doctors try and do before ugh
She also expects the world to coddle her and her professors to just let her miss 80% of the classes and assignments bc she has a headache. Idk what she thinks a normal job will be just that def won’t be allowed. She would totally be the type to fall for the food combining bc she takes all these pseudoscientific vitamins and supplements like this one call boiron which is so obviously a scam that it’s funny. You should totally do a video on them bc when her and my aunt explained what it was I had to stop myself from inhaling my drink from laughing. She’s like “so they take a substance like an herb and then they dilute it, and then they dilute it again, and again, and again until there’s no detectable level of the substance in the supplement so it’s just the substances “essence” and then they make pills out of it and it’s totally safe bc it’s only the essence” I’m like yeah no shit a pill made out of absolutely nothing would be safe 😂😂 bc it’s literally nothing.
People seem to be going to such extremes when it's about physical appearance, mainly focusing on it. It all seems to be such a privilege. I have been vegan for years (and vegetarian years prior to that), and guys, in the last couple of years I've been dealing with a bad health condition. I was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) more than 2 years ago. When I got to the hospital and they asked about my diet, I said I was vegan. Doctors were kind of worried, but mostly because most of them are old school, and we have very limited food options here in Croatian hospitals. I spent all together a bit more than 4 months in the hospital - in isolated steryle units in the capital city of Croatia. I wasn't allowed to eat any fresh fruits/vegetables, any kind of nuts, or anything that could cause issues because of my low immune system. I would get chemo for 7 days a week, during the whole day. Even though you don't have any immunity at all, you get infusions, blood transfusions etc. They do all they can so you can get the chance to actually live again. In my case, I had to get a stem cell transplant (because otherwise I would have a relapse). Also, during all that time, I was not allowed to get any food from outside, except small packages of crackers, soy milk or small juices - like the ones for kids, and such things. But yet, somehow, I did stay vegan all along. I did my best at my weakest to find a way. My recovery has been going well since. I also had to be isolated for a long time after stem cell transplant, and to eat a certain way for a long time. I did get a lot of medicine and antibiotics that are not animal cruelty free, but I did not have much of a choice. I did what I could, and that's all that matters. There are always the ones that suffer more. I think it is all about motives that a person has in the beginning. I feel like it is important to find the best way that works for you, and others beings as well. Everything counts. Also, I do believe that the fact I wasn't eating any animal products actually helped me recover - because it's hard to eat heavy foods when you are sick from of all the medicine and chemo you get. That's the fact for a lot of people I met.
Sending love to you all, and try to be more aware that we are the ones who know our limits, and what matters to us. Thinking about the size of your butt or such things may seem to be an issue, but it is really not the most important thing in the world, and will not do much for you nor others. Let's find more compassion and humanity instead of focusing on our appearance as much, to find a better quality of a life we have.
Labels affect the people who keep talking about that dang label
also Caroline Deisler is now pregnant and eating exactly the same 🙃
How did she even get pregnant? 😬
I'm pretty sure the only actual way to make your butt bigger is to do squats. A lot of squats.
Or a BBL, à la Kardashian
