I personally eat a Pagan diet. It's fully vegan and just involves me performing spells in the kitchen and leaving some of the left-overs for housegnomes.

"Is it wi-fi enabled" I'm done

Girl those PEGAN! jump cuts were killing me! Made me mess up my eyeliner laughing

I converted to Peganism; after my third ritual sacrifice, I think I'm finally losing weight!

I just wanted to let you know that you’re the best vegan KZfaqr in my opinion, especially coming from an outsider’s perspective (still a meat eater). I love that you focus more on the ethical side of veganism, it’s a lot more convincing for me than the health aspect. I watch a fair amount of vegan KZfaqrs and no one has been able to motivate me to take a step in the right direction except for you. This new year I’ve decided that I’m going to limit my animal products in some way or another and hope to build from there! I just hope they come out with more comparable and readily available meat alternatives in the near future because that would definitely make it so much easier for me. Thank you for the great content!

That plan has 700 calories and doesn't fulfill more than 65% of daily nutritional needs. Dr Oz is an absolute quack. BTW, your hair and make up looks amaaaazing..

Paleo is so stupid... lean meats? Paleolithic people would be eating fat and organs and fur. I feel like Paleo is a way for people to justify an adrenaline addiction.

PEGAN OMG IM PISSING MYSELF

Just started the video, Irmagerd!!! Love the eye makeup!

“Is it WiFi enabled?” Lmaooo

Wow, a rational vegan on KZfaq. That's so nice to see :p

pffft.. I'll be happy when "vegan" stops being a buzzword/quick fix for everything and instead is just seen as a rational life choice. Pee-gan is a ridiculous name... that should have NEVER gotten through.

In Canada Silk and Blue Diamond nut milks are fortified with b12.

Definitely the most balanced, informative vegan diet source on KZfaq. I was a freelee victim, believing I should be eating 30 bananas a day, until I got some sense and started to eat a proper diet. I went from years of not eating much, existing off smoking and coffee and high stress each day to the freelee type diet. But what I needed to do was fill my body was good quality proteins and nutrients. When I started eating cooked and higher protein vegan my hair grew back and I gained muscle, I also learned to eliminate stress through meditation that helped a lot. It was like my body needed that food to build up a store because of the years of not eating much.

Just want you to know that you were the reason I went vegan a few months ago. I started looking into it after I watched your review of what the health. You are the only rational vegan on youtube and the only reason I took a step back and looked into veganism. So, thanks, and never change, because you are a very good animal advocate. :)

You look so great in this video Swayze! Not that you didn't before, but like your hair looks gorgeous, your skin is glowing and your eye makeup is on fleek!!!😍😍 Great video as per usual!

I Love how much of a real person you are, and it saddens me that when I first wen't vegan people would say you were the bad side of Veganism and turning people away. I eventually loss passion and interest in Veganism and switch to a vegetarian diet, but not didn't consuming any dairy products or eggs unless they were in like a cookie or sweets. Rerecently I've been trying to get back into Veganism and you are the one who has inspired me into becoming vegan again because you are actually one of the realist persons I've watched so far and have slowly brought my want for Veganism back.

Your hair looks great!

Me: the fuck, any animal product is bad for you Also me: *dipping oreos in chocolate soy milk*

Personally, I don't see 5 cups of vegetables as a lot... I have a cup of courgette in my oats in the morning. I guess about 3 cups (lettuce, carrots and maybe some broccoli (cooked, of course)) for lunch and another cup as a snack or for dinner. So more often than not I eat more than 5 cups a day.

The glare on your glasses is barely noticeable. In answer to your question. I was too engrossed in the video content and what you were saying to notice. lol Great video as usual.

I wanted to watch this yesterday when I saw it in my sub box, but mom life - so I finally watched it as my background sound for my morning cardio and I am so glad there are people like you on youtube. We need less of Dr Oz and Freelee spreading misinformation and/or dangerous fear-mongering and more evidence. I love that you gave suggestions on how to start a vegan diet/lifestyle. Thank you for your content!

Fantastic video! I love how calm, rational and clear your content is :) I hope they amend the diet program in future, it would be great to see more people being more conscious about their food :)

I like it when you film at your desk much better because the background has more detail and you have it set up at a much more interesting angle. When you're in this spot, the camera is right in front of you, and it just isn't very visually engaging, even if the lighting is better. Also, thanks for linking the articles in the description.

I've been transitioning to a plant based diet and decided to go on youtube to search for something to re-motivate me. Stumbled upon a quite well-known vegan channel and decided to give it a shot. Big mistake. They were so irritating! Really pretentious and forceful and obviously thinking they know everything (while promoting ridiculous nutrition advice AND ethics) and are much better people than everyone else. So I came back here to disinfect and this video showed up at the perfect time. Thank you so much for your level-headed and reasonable content. You once again restored my hope in vegan youtube :)

Also this is a plant based paleo diet. This has nothing to do with veganism. I hate this dilution of the original definition of vegan or veganism

lmfao, the Pegan pronunciation gives Pagans a bad name #drozdrivesmeinsane

I love this background because you are so clear! Great video!

Pegan? Isn't that a pokemon?

lol why even bother calling this diet part-vegan when it includes meat. that's like calling the standard american diet part-vegan because it includes vegetables.

PEEGAN

As far as nondairy milks for me, I use silk organic unsweetened soy milk. 8 grams of protein and fortified with calcium, vitamin D and b12

SUGGESTION FOR NEW VIDEO: would you be interested in discussing the sustainability and practicality of reusable menstrual products? A lot of my vegan friends have switched from disposables and love it for the comfort as well as saving the planet!

Thank you so much for being so articulate and rational in the advice you give. I haven't eaten any meat products since the 1st of December last year (so only a bit over a month :) ). I wanted to stop for a long time but haven't really mobilized until now, in many ways thanks to you. I am planing to gardualy reduce/ stop eating all animal products trough 2018 and the content you put on this channel has helped me. Greetings from Romania :)

I love your videos. For some strange algorithm reasons KZfaq started recommending your videos to me. (It's not in any way related to the content I usually watch.) You're the reason I started looking into veganism. For 3 weeks now I set 1 vegan and 1 vegetarian day per week (but actually I do more). I even convinced my fiancé to do it with me. (And my Mom wants to start, too.) You made its seem easier than most other vegans did. And you were right. Just having the vegan ingredients at home helped a lot. Thank you so much for telling people like me that starting small is ok.

Loved your editing in this video dude!!!

I like the desk just because it's more interesting. The boring beige wall bothers me a little. But it's not a big deal either way. Keep rocking the great content!

I'm so glad I'm subscribed to you!

Off topic, but, your eye makeup is the bomb!!! (Also, just started binge-watching all of your videos. Thanks for helping educate people on how to do their own research--it's really important!!)

Compared to my past non-vegan self, I eat tons of more vegetables and fruits/nuts than before but honestly, I think I still eat a lot of junk. I always eats fruits and veg everyday but faux meats are on the menu 3-5 days of the week. Along with non-dairy yogurts and nut milks. I don't gain weight even though I eat a lot.

When you mention yogurt being a healthier food than sugar milk, your just referring to plain unsweetened yogurts? I feel like almost all yogurts have tons of sugar unless they are plain/ and or unsweetened

Swayze, many people can not eat the same to stay a healthy weight or not gain weight. If I eat 2,000 / day, I will gain more weight and I'm considered obese. I have to drop my calories to 1,200 - 1,600 calories to lose weight consistently without working out. I feel hungry a lot and generally have no energy. I use Cronometer and meet my nutrition up to 96%- 99% everyday.

Thanks for the interesting content. It's good to have a balance when there are a lot of mad claims out there! And you have nailed the new look :)

I didn't even notice the glasses glare until you said something about it :P

I fell into the habit of unsweetened everything because... let's just say your cavity video hit close to home. I'm pretty grateful for it

I got an Ensure commercial the second after you said sugar milk! Oooooo, eerie...

Love this; and your makeup looks really pretty! Have you thought about getting a slightly richer tone lipstick? Whether you'd prefer something more pink or red toned, I just think something a bit richer would really suit you 😊

Looove your videos!

15:26 I do eat cucumbers as if they were apples. I just take one and bite it until I eat it up. I usually do so when I've run out of other vegetables such as carrots, broccoli or cabbage. I particularly like those cucumbers that are ripe and yellowish/yellow (and sour).

I like the lighting better where you were filming in this video. 😁

My boyfriend has been a carnivore his whole life and I am a vegetarian more leaning vegan and he’s been trying the Gardein chicken tenders and he prefers those and since he’s been eating less (he’s pretty much at 0 but still saying that he’s an omnivore) meat his ibd has gone away. As always I love your Chanel .. you give the best most honest reviews and are always 100!!

For years, due to as serious GI illness, I often had a 700-1000 Cal/day diet. It made me weak, exhausted, confused, irrational, angry & disorganized...I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...

Your cuts are awesome in this video 😂

I didn't notice any glasses glare until you mentioned it. I had only noticed how much I like your glasses.

I always love your videos and your eye makeup looks great!

I can't moderate dry roasted unsalted peanuts in shells and do take off the shells, but I do love to eat peanuts with the covers.

Is the eye makeup you're wearing from the kat von d pallet you were talking about? It looks great! Good job!

I'm not vegan (You popped up on my YT recommendations for SOME reason and I just like to watch a bit here and there for your more logical, researched approach to what can easily become a very fervent and emotional topic), but I started to try a modified version of this diet and wanted to weigh in. Modified because A- I work in the service industry and therefore need to consume wine during my shift, tasting a sip from every bottle I open to insure quality and B- I'm a fromagere, so cheese is actually my literal life and therefore I have to consume SOME dairy even in small amounts. What attracted me, as a non-vegan, to this diet was the idea of variety and options that meant being more conscious of my animal products (which is a process I've been going through anyway and is partially inspired by my job- all our cheeses are farms who take good care of their livestock and it's those types of places I want to support/encourage). In reality- it can be REALLY hard to sustain off the top, especially if you're not used to eating this way. I didn't follow the recipes they listed, just created a bunch of my own based off the guidelines and to be honest I was exhausted, cranky, and HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I felt like I was constantly eating 'serving sizes', had somehow run through my allotments of certain groups and yet was never full. I'm actually pretty healthy/in shape and purely wanted a more plant-filled eating plan, but to be honest unless you're pretty sedentary you'll need more than this quickly.

i like those little inserts. they make things a lot easier to read

You seem more relaxed in this video. Seems like you’re in a great mood. The setup is subtly different and you look really beautiful having a good time! :) I’m a fan. P.S. How silly is that example day? Where’s the 5 cups of vegetables for example!? ^_^

Doesn't feel right that my first comment on your channel is about your makeup but you look gorgeous (you always do) anyway I'll also use this as an opportunity to say that I really enjoy your videos, they're really helpful and informative. Keep up the good work 💕

Thank you for your videos! This is awesome!

Love the smokey eye! Off topic, but I'm also really into makeup.

I like to use sugar free almond coconut milk, because the subtle coconut flavor makes up for the lack of sugar

Yes, yes, valid points and all but your makeup!! It looks so good.

"combines a vegan diet and some meat" so just not at all vegan then.

You look stunning!! WOW!! What beauty products do you use? Tutorial please!

I died a little inside every time the word Pegan was said. 😂 great video. So cool to see someone big like dr.oz promoting a mostly vegan diet, but what a shame it’s so low calorie.

I'm frustrated with my web cam as well, and I'm wondering if you've tried to download alternative software to run it? ... I have a brand new hp spectre x360 computer that supposedly has a full hd webcam, and yet it's grainy, blurry, has too much yellow like you say etc. That said, I think your current lighting there looks pretty good. The glare from your glasses wasn't bothering me.

Why did they put bread in the example infographic if they didn’t include it in the actual plan? Maybe it’s considered a “grain”? Mess

Quick question, if you don't seem to digest supplemented B12 very well and your body very much dislikes infusions, what's the best way to incorporate it into my diet? I'm extremely restricted due to major medical issues and tend to stick to the same foods (yeah, I know)

Every time the "Pegan" clip popped up I laughed really hard

I wish I could agree that “milk is dead” but I work at Starbucks and we definitely use cow milk more than 50% of the time, although plant milks are popular, as is black coffee. Many people ask for lactose-free or non-fat milk. And I think yogurt experienced a resurgence as both a “fun” kids food in convenient packaging, and a source of probiotics, within the last ten years (especially with the rise of organic and grass fed dairy products?). I often see yogurt advertised to females in particular? Maybe because calcium? Regarding the “Paleo” diet; aside from allowing grass-fed butter under the “dairy radar”, the diet also seems to have little-to-no restrictions for eggs either? I’ve seen paleo recipes for baked goods that required SIX EGGS. For banana bread. When bananas and flax are technically both paleo(?) and are a good egg substitute (even with gluten-free or grain-free baking). Years ago I was on the fence about ethics and healthy eating so I did lots of research into both diets. That’s what I remember...

I usually find you so dry and not entertaining but you were much lighter and more personable in this video which was enjoyable to watch. ✌🏻

As a non-vegan, I find your videos very impressive and informative. I also find myself agreeing with you quite often despite the fact that I'm a meat eater.

I didn't notice the glare in your glasses at all until you mentioned it

Great video! I just wanted to say about the nut milk having sugar, almost all varieties of nut milk come in unsweetened varieties that are still fortified. I buy an unsweetened vanilla almond milk and sweeten with stevia if I need to and it only has 30 calories a cup. :) Obviously the protein is still quite low though. I wonder if the diet specified the type of almond milk? If they are encouraging regular sugary almond milk that really wouldn't make sense.

Swayze I love the fancy thumbnails but tbh I liked the old, plain text on the screen better

If we compare the "every day eat" list with the actual sample day, we'll find that the sample day simply does not meet the requirements of the list (unless I'm misreading or misunderstanding something). There's only 1/2 cup of beans in the lunch salad and "3 oz of protein" (I'm assuming meat) in the dinner portion--nowhere near the 2 cups of legumes/vegan protein the chart says to eat. I also only see 1 slice of bread, maybe some corn (?) in the salad, and 1 fruit (WTF is with that serving size?), so there should still be 1 serving of carbs left. The nondairy item appears to be entirely missing. Basically, it meets its own criteria on fats, and maybe vegetables, but everything else doesn't measure up. Actually following the the "Every day eat" list, I just picked random veggies, etc. and this is what I got: *Veggies* 2 cups broccoli cooked from frozen 10 oz frozen spinach (a little less than 2 cups) 1 cup fresh kale *Carbs* 1/2 cup dry oatmeal (about 1 cup cooked) 1 medium apple (I'm calling this one serving...?) 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato *Protein* 1 cup chickpeas 1 cup sliced tempeh 3 oz chicken breast w/o skin *Fats* 1 oz walnuts 1 oz almonds *Nondairy* 1 cup plain sweetened almond milk *Misc. things not on the list which he's probably expecting and/or wanting people to consume* 8 cups tap water 1/2 teaspoon salt It's a little bit below the RDI for b5 and potassium, and of course it's seriously lacking in b12 and D, but everything else seems to be covered. If I fiddled with the exact choices of foods or added more veggies, I could probably get it to cover the slight lack in b5 and potassium, but that's not really the point of this. This adds up to just under 1700 calories when I punch it into Cronometer. This level of calorie intake wouldn't be suitable for weight maintenance, but I'm assuming that Dr. Oz is promoting this as a weight-loss thing since it's the New Year. I think that with the bulk, protein, fat, and starch, it could be a pretty satisfying way to eat for awhile (based on my list, not his sample day). Add in your two desserts and drinks per week and your one cheat day, and some people might have trouble losing weight at all. But that sample day on the chart...that's just ridiculous. :'D It also reminds me of the Eat To Live diet plan from Dr. Fuhrman, but I'd rather not make this comment longer by going into all of the similarities and differences. Personally I think ETL is better, and that's all I want to say about that. :)

Where did the grains disappear? The guide said 4 grain options but the only grain I could see was the toast in the morning. What were the other grain options? Was cauliflower rice a grain portion?

And now lots of people in my country will try this diet cause some people adore him (turkey)

Milk alternative (meaning fortified soya milk) is not only necessary for important calcium intake for those who don't get many other sources, but also other nutrients such as vitamin D (of which we are all deficient in Canada) and vitamin B12 (again, in Canada)... also in soya breverages, the protein intake is about equivalent to that of milk. You'll get the added nutrients in other fortified plant breverages, but not the protein amount.

do you follow the whole foods/veg diet? I didn't know there were diff types of vegan diets...

Your hair!!! :D It looks so healthy atm! Have you changed something about like your products and are you willing to share?

Me and my boyfriend are doing meatless mondays. And we’re both doing a lot less meat for breakfast. I have cut it down to only 1-2 breakfasts per week with meat. And I’ve mostly cut out cows milk. Hardly ever have any & I don’t buy it anymore other than grassfed butter. Just thought I’d share the steps I’ve taken/am taking towards less animal products :)

I agree with you about cheat days. I'm severely lactose intolerant and have a sweet tooth for chocolate and whenever it's in my face, it becomes very very hard to control the urge to eat it. I know I will be sick if I do, but knowing the taste makes it super hard. It's better when there isn't any in the house. So cheat days, if you have any, are better to have outside of your house at some restaurants or friend's house, etc. Edit: My home desert, when I decide to have one, is the Silk chocolate milk 😍

that is way low calorie! I do only light to moderate weights a few times per week and at 155lbs, my breakfast smoothie clocks in at 1,300 calories! Starvation diet per Dr Oz for sure, and then he says its ok to exercise eating like that? shame on him.

What is your opinion on vegans who use tanning beds for vitamin d during the winter? Could you do a video on vitamin d?

i really love listening to you in the morning

I agree with on the dairy yogurt. I like that you made this point even though you do not eat dairy yogurt yourself. I like non-dairy silk yogurt and no longer drink milk (I am not a vegan).

I think if you actually followed the recommendations rather than the sample diet it would work out. If you put an example of the recommendations into cronometer it would probably meet requirements all around.

Thanks for the video. I would be interested in your thoughts on vegans taking prescription medications with animal products.... such as gelatin.

Most people I know get unsweetened almond and soy milk

Thankyou for keeping it real in regards to plain dairy yoghurt having points for being healthy ..compared to some other alternatives. I have a lifelong interest regards Ahimsa dairys ..& you are the only one who dares speak up for it with some positivity, previously.I feel Ahimsa dairy can be an invaluble stepping stone in this non vegan world we live..we really need solutions that work .We plant based folk are only @ 1-3% naturally speaking..or up to 5% in Israel ,for first world countries we're still a somewhat quiet forse.Many dont last past a year on their goals.(.or have minimal dairy outdoors if need be & vegan at home.) I see the needs of the working man..not just the metro males & selfie generation teens.

Love the lighting here

Dr. Mark Hyman does a higher-calorie version of the Pegan diet. But I'm sure it can be customized. On paleo they allow fingerling potatoes, and sweet potatoes. But the yellow and white potatoes are off-limits because of their glycemic load.

so i put into cronometer based on the rules and not the example and its your typical 1200 calorie diet and i didnt even add the last animal meat. my meals i entered was as follows Breakfast - oatmeal (0.5 cup cooked), 1 medium banana, 0.5 cup strawberries (using 3/4 carbs) Lunch - 1 cup of pan fried tofu, 1 cup of cooked brussel sprouts, 0.5 cup of cooked brown rice (1 protien, 1 veggie, and last carb) Dinner - cauliflower rice, 1 cup of pan fried tofu, 1 cup of spinach, 1 roma tomato, onion, garlic, teaspoon of any fatty dressing diluted with water mixed with some nutritional yeast for b12 Snack - celery with 2 tablespoons of raw almomd butter With really thought out planning this is not too bad. Only problem is Vitamin D. I live in a cold place so the sun isnt my option so I have to supplement that. I personally would add more fruit in case you grow hungry. This is pretty high in protein if tofu is used. only thing i can see backfiring is my belly after all the fiber i stuffed down my throat if i used beans. Dr. Oz shouldve had something like this to make it more attractive and filling.

Your so funny. I enjoy your videos where I can see the chair in the background but I just like the chair lol. I have to say though my vote doesn't count because I'm an omnivore but I love your channel and I am learning so much. Keep up the good work! 💜👍

So what can we do to get these plant milks to be fortified with b12? That seems like a good solution

17:35 thanks for saying that.😊..I struggle a lot.
