MEAT HEALS...CARBS KILL! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6ykgNpj1N2dZYE.html

awesome, thanks for sharing!

Yeah the difference of how many more sets you can do while taking creatine is actually kinda crazy

and vegan diets are also low in methionine

No they’re not.

Mic the Vegan looks bad, Smh, I use to be a Vegan until I woke up, The amount of oxalates and Lectins he has is off the charts, Look at his face in eyes, That boy a bowl of inflammation.

When you have to make our own creatine as a vegan, you produce a lot of homocysteine, a toxic byproduct. You lose again, vegans.

@@Sweeney-nn2hy Greger looks good for his age. How any of these people look doesn't actually matter, looks and health don't always equate. There's plenty of meat eaters that look not so great. Mic can get a bit out there sometimes yes, but I have a feeling you dislike Greger even more. Greger actually knows the science, every video on his channel has a plethora good research papers. You should let the research speak for itself.

Have you noticed any negative effects? I exercise for strength & mobility rather than hypertrophy so that's a superficial concern but the other possible benefits are appealing

Oh, also, how long were you lifting weights before starting creatine? You said '22 so I'm assuming there's enough time between the two for you to observe/ isolate the benefits of each variable? Ie it's definitely the creatine, not your training?

@@hannahmitchell87 the only side effect I’ve noticed is I’m urinating more frequently. Which is understandable as I’ve increased my water intake. Other than that it’s truly been all good.

@@hannahmitchell87 I started lifting in January of ‘22 and continued through the end of September. That’s when Covid finally caught me. I started lifting again after recovering, which was a few months later in December. My goal with lifting has been to counteract age related muscle loss and don’t spend much time lifting. Never more than 20 minutes every other day. Cardio daily.

@@EatDrinkBeMerry Thank you for the info :)

Body's own creatine synthesis doesn't downregulate just because you get exogenous creatine.

There's no such thing as almost vegan. You are or you aren't. Saying "almost vegan" is like saying "almost not racist." Veganism is a philosophy, not a diet.

​@@AK-np4rp veganism is a philosophy, the vegan diet is literally a diet, you are just being pedantic for no good reason, and wrong at that

just wanted to say, doing calisthenics and especially muscle-ups AT SEVENTY FOUR is REALLY impressive, super proud of you, keep it up!

@@HolarMusic No, I am 100% corrent - you can't almost be vegan. It's absurd as saying I almost support gay rights or women's rights. You either are either vegan or you are a non-vegan.

Taking it for only a month wouldn't have any effects at all on strength gains. It takes a few weeks to even get to the saturation point. Then you'd have to be doing quality strength training for at least several months on it to even notice a difference.

Till then he would have lost all his hair...

That would be interesting.

How is it going?

@@89Rutger Day 1 on creatine is pretty much my norm now! I'm way more productive in gym. I struggled to go passed 50kg on bench, now I'm pushing 70kg without need for a spotter. My body has benefitted a lot from the extra kick I get because I push more on all workouts. I have a lot more gas to push to failure often, and I don't suffer immobilizing DOMS anymore. I know this well because I can now push my calves more without fear that the DOMs won't make me fail to walk. Previously every time I'd push my calves a lot, I'd fail to walk for a day or two. Now I feel the soreness but still go about my days normally. In general, It's been amazing and has offered me good gains. I recommend it.

Buyer beware. If you read the comments, One person started developing muscle cramps amd heart palpitations on creatine, and another person's kidneys started having issues, based on their blood work.

@@teagoldleaf4137 Yeah, I generally stay away from supplements unless they’re absolutely necessary (like B12).

@@teagoldleaf4137wasn’t that individual also not drinking enough.

I mean if you’re choosing to be vegan you quite literally have to

@@KevinSamuelsKid vegans has the least amount of supplements needs, so now you know. but as all thinking people has as a goal is to eat so healthy we do not need to.

@@sudd3660 Vegan has the least amount of supplement needs? Compared to whom exactly? You can’t actually be serious unless you’re comparing it to someone who eats a diet of dirt or the American diet

​@@sudd3660that's funny!

@@KevinSamuelsKidThis video literally just said that you DON'T need to supplement it. The only supplements you *might* need are B12 and iron, that's literally it.

i am deficient

Close enough

It does

cocaine is an essential nutrient 💯

😂😂😂😂

Yes for resistance training, no for cardio. Don't know the difference in the effectiveness in men vs women. My understanding is Creatine's effect of causing more water retention adds a little temporary weight which is a no no for most sports involving cardio. GCN a big cycling channel came to the conclusion that cyclists shouldn't take it.

Glad you stopped. Another person in the comments section said their blood work showed their kidneys started developing issues after taking creatine

500 mg? You mean 5 mgs?

@@uoiuo no, only 500 mg per day. I am a small woman btw.

@@michelem226 I'm talking about creatine monohydrate , there is no way you could take 500 mg of that . I was 5 almost 6 years vegan and my homocysteine was through the roof due to lack of creatine , i was feeling horrible and weak . I am a big tall guy tho

Yeah, 500 mgs is a low dose. I just started on 5 grams. Many recommend 3-5 grams a day. But, I'm worried about the side effects of bloating/weight gain and possible hair loss. I may quit it already, or cut back to 3 grams. @@michelem226

Great question 💚👍 Hope Mike reads and answers

Yes, supplement your diet with meat and you will get all of them

​@@descargaelbano😅

Those are meat aminos. You would have to eat meat.

@@BoogieBoogsForever uhm, they aren't exclusive to meat, carnitine is found in small amounts in vegetables, and taurine is in higher than meat amounts in sea weed.

That would be good info to know cause a lot of pre workouts contain caffeine as well as creatine

I have heard this but in some of the strength training studies they specifically dissolved the creatine in coffee, and still measured significant effects. So I doubt it makes much difference.

Uh-oh. I have only ever dissolved mine in coffee.

Just because a food is vegan, doesn't mean it's healthy to eat it in massive quantities. Lota of people die from heart disease or diabetes that is directly caused by their bad diets ( the majority not vegan diets). By applying your logic, we should talk about the dangers of an omnivore diet, because look at how many people die because of the processed meats and other foods. Sounds stupid? Yeah, because such logic is stupid.

@@crazy.panda12 I love how these carnivore guys destroy the theory that eating meat gives you a big brain ... by constantly coming out with such totally irrational nonsense like the above. I guess veganism has to carry the blame for crack cocaine, heroin, & alcohol deaths because, you know, they are all plant based too.

Vegans have significantly lower rates of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. It’s never going to be zero but the risk are statistically lower there’s quite a few studies that show this.

Funny, there's also a guy who's on a half burger diet that makes the headline unlike u Cute attempt processed meat is group 1 carcinogen the same as tobacco while red meat is group 2 carcinogen cope

Super! Glad to see you're doing good. Keep it up!

Then the question is if they had low creatine throughout their life or if it was a result of being at the end of their life.

Its effects are very minor. I've been supplementing it for years and I'm not sure if it even works.

@@carinaekstrom1 In that particular study they were measured way before becoming centerians and the comparison was between who made it and those who didn't

@@alexidsa Ok. What was the name of the study?

Plant based eaters tend to have lower creatine levels in their bodies, as was mentioned in this video. And looking at blue zones most of the centenarians are eating predominantly plant based so i think the low creatine is just a marker that they were eating a healthier diet while higher creatine is a marker that someone is eating more meat so they die sooner. I dont think it's the cause of longevity. I dont think there is any data on whether supplementing creatine increases or decreases longevity in humans because i highly doubt most older generations are supplementing at all. It's all diet related. Studies in mice though showed creatine supplements increased longevity. We aren't mice, but it would take decades to do a similar study in humans, so for now, that's all we have.

Hey @MichelleyB-zk3eh Have you ever Tried a more carnivore diet. I had metabolic syndrome for 20 years and got off all ultra-processed foods. Switching to meats and fishes i lost 25kg. My whole system has calmed down. I cant believe the overall improvement. I still have only a few veges. It was the lectins in the plant food that was causing me inflammation. which is now gone. 20 lost years. Every day i hear about people improving their woeful health by getting back to meat and reducing plants.

​@@gordonc8335some people don't want to murder animals for selfish reasons. Maybe don't spew your anecdotal rubbish at people who care deeply about animals.

Sounds like you were taking way too much creatine powder. That's symptoms of too much creatine. Even if you think you were moderate with dosage, just understand that some people have different thresholds with supplements. A normal amount for one person could be way too much or too little for another person.

​​@@mycelia_owI used the little spoon 🥄 that came with it, it was 3 grams

creahhhhting!

I think I'd try Dr Brooke Goldner's hypernutrition protocol before I wasted time and money this powdered stuff. Anyway, wishing you good health and a full recovery.

stop veganism - you might start healing faster lol

Long COVID, sure, long vaccination effects, I am afraid.

you know all your immune cells and the slime in your nose, renewing your damaged tissue, etc. it all takes up protein? i used up 24 packages of tissues when i had the flu (or covid, i didnt test because idgaf) for a week last month. im on keto diet to lose weight, works so far, but i made an exception to drink some honey milk for my throat when i was ill. i always tend to throw in what my body tells me to when im ill, if i know its not smth im addicted to because of chemical abuse from industry. long story short, i was feeling fine (ill but fine), had high fever, epsiodically felt really cold, ate my normal food, arms and other extremeties felt weak (when making a fist e.g.) but overall body told me "its fine, just wait it out". on the fifth day i felt really down somehow and had insane cravings for meat. ate 750 grams of shrimp :D (only thing i had in the house since i freeze some of them for bad times) immediately felt better. you body can store vitamins (some up to 6 years), fats (body fat), sugar (glykogen or in the end also fat), but protein? only thing that could be considered a "storage" is your muscle mass and the body rarely touches that unless it has to (if you skinny to begin with, welp). so yeah, make sure your body as enough bioavailable protein if you get ill and or dont get better afterwards. it most likely has everything else. PS i know its a vegan video and you prob not gonna eat meat but at least stuff more of the high protein value veggies in you. daily (since it cant be conserved).

Could do better

He did reiterate at the end that it's non-essential but that it looks like there are both cognitive and muscle-building benefits to taking it as a supplement, especially for vegans/vegetarians. I've taken it for periods of time and definitely notice a difference in muscle with no extra effort and it's really cheap. It's basically the only more or less harmless fitness shortcut I can think of, so don't knock it 'til you try it 😅 It's like drinking fine sand, but fine sand that makes the effort of exercising pay off more 🤷‍♀️

Ahh the classic, I'm young and doing fine so science is wrong argument ^^ I know you didnt literally say that but that is what youre implying.

@tangimeme I have heard about the benefits when in the gym, I'm more of a runner, muscle would slow me down, I like to do a few thousand miles a year, I'm glad it is helping you.

@ I'm almost 50, I'm just happy to be called young. More implying I'm doing great, I hope it works for others who have this as their goal.

Your eyes are looking red. Better fix it or they're coming for ya!

I think everyone should try it if they're active, but I hope it works for this for you and others suffering.

There is nothing wrong with synthetically produced creatine. It is literally identical the creatine in our bodies

Umm, there is a natural source, and it's the best source in fact. The human body produces its own creatine among a plethora of other nutrients many people falsely believe you can only get from animal products. You don't need to intake any. If you need to for bodybuilding reasons, supplementing it is magnitudes better than relying on dietary sources for additional creatine.

​@@madmyc6836 Correct, and there actually is a natural vegan source of creatine. Our bodies produce all that we need.

B12 isn't found in plants (well, not in sufficient amounts). So is that 'not for you' either?

@@mycelia_ow it is exactly the same wether our bodies produce it or it is made synthetically. That is how chemistry works. If it was different it would be a different chemical.

Buy German made.

I almost did but the video was getting long. The "Water Retention" study in the description has a good section on hair loss I believe.

I haven't noticed any hair loss from creatine. I think there's agreement it's mostly an urban myth. You should only get creatine from good suppliers that do chemical purity testing, though.

@@Magnulus76 My only fear is from what I've read creatine does increase DHT which has been associated with hair loss so it's logical to assume it will have an effect and the anecdotes don't help. It would be good to know the truth

Isn't the HCL better though? I use that on training day but 1.2g so not like the loading people do.

It’s synthesized in a lab.

The evolution of our digestive systems involved 100s of millions years before we became humans. During those 100s of millions of years, we were primarily herbivorous. I guess you guys are the equivalent of young earth, Biblical creationists. You think humans just popped into nature a few 100,000 years ago.

I only eat fruits and vegetables. Fish is full of parasites and toxic chemicals no thanks.

Excessive calorie consumption

@@seitanbeatsyourmeat666 well I sort of meant fat. It's always proven that excess fat is caused by eating lots of fat. A lot of people think that sugar magically turns into fat, I was hoping Mic had some research papers to share

​@@WizzDanvisionI eat nothing but protein and meat fat and I have lost weight. Cutting the carbs got me off all my diabetes meds and injections. Eating carbs and fat at the same time is not good. You need to choose between high carb/low fat, or high fat/low carb.

@@descargaelbano Or just not eat too m any calories, which is what seitanbeatsyourmeat wrote first. You can't get fat if you're only eating as few calories as you need. Your problem was a lack of self-control, or gluttony. Why should the animals suffer & be murdered when all you need to do is learn self-control instead?

You should check his older videos, he has a really good video talking about vegan weight loss and obesity. I remembering watching a very long time ago and helped me a lot on my weight loss journal

How dare you telling the truth😂 , yes vegans get stroke and other csrdivascular events. Cholesterol tho 😂

If the cause of high homocysteine levels and strokes are caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency, as is suggested by the papers I read, one should supplement B12 and not mask it with creatine of course

@@richardcardinale7152🤨 What are you even saying?

@@Reeeeves how dare you trying to understand me , keep sleeping 🤣

@@synthos999 Sounds simple. But suppose someone does not KNOW they are low in B12, or, cannot absorb it. Many do not know, as 2 of my friends who are not vegan who had strokes...

It’s not a PED because gains are very small. You need a serious doping regimen monitored by a doctor to be top 20% athlete also need to know what masking drugs have to be taken to beat doping control and also the half-life of PED’s to deal with random checks. Also applying for a therapeutic exemption so you can dope legally that’s why many athletes have asthma. Welcome to the real world 😂

It is doping for me cause it is not something you get in these amounts naturally. And I am aware that everyone in professional Sports is taking drugs.@@sid35gb

Meat does not cause diabetes, and it sounds like you're doing great. Keep up the good work and don't join the cult of anorexia vegana

It sounds like you were obese & now you are fasting, & that's why you feel better. Beyond that, you're experiencing the same kind of high anyone does when joining a cult, only your cult harms & murders innocent animals needlessly. All you really need is self-control, & to overcome your tendency towards gluttony. Eating only meat is satisfying your gluttony in the short term. 45 days is too short to prove anything. You could have eaten nothing for 45 days, lost even more weight, & felt even better. The only problem being your gluttony levels would have been going through the roof. Perhaps you should ask yourself, why should animals suffer & be slaughtered, just to feed your out of control gluttony? It's your problem, not theirs.

Obviously didn’t see the video about the KZfaqr that had a stroke after doing the carnivore diet.

@@sid35gb no, but I'm sure you can supply the details and enlighten us as to the health of the person before going to this diet, their age, and all other pertinent information

If you're looking for cognitive enhancements you need nootropic compounds. Check out the nootropics subreddit, you don't be disappointed. I don't remember creatine being labeled a nootropic, but I can def believe that some obscure tiny study exists that shows an absurd amount of it injected into rats makes them complete mazes quicker or something. Usually where claims like "creatine helps ADHD" come from. Try nootropic compounds like uridine, phenylalanine, L-theanine, L-tyrosine, etc.

Yes, there should be a law that requires kids to eat meat until they are 18.

As someone who grew up vegetarian and is completely fine (blood tests prove it,) I wholeheartedly disagree. You are misinformed.

No such laws exist with vegans in Belgium. It was only an opinion in a court case where the parents had starved their kid & never taken it to see the doctors because of their beliefs in homeopathy. Nothing to do with veganism at all.

They don't need to, the human body produces its own, in fact 3 of our organs produce it. Same with cholesterol, the liver produces all that we need
