Congrats!! :D

FATtoVEGAN! !! not only did you lose weight but you significantly healed your body, the planet, and spared the lives of many people and animals. So you are pretty much a hero.

Alex Beau Thank you!

LiveLikeIt's2007 my body feels like it's healing everyday!! Thank you!! 💕💕

FATtoVEGAN! !! ♡♡♡♡♡ thats wonderful!!!!!

Yup I believe around 300 animals a year? Not to mention the torture of cows for their milk and chickens for their eggs, that I didn't support. But to me the ethical side was just a bonus in the hindsight, like for the most long-term vegans I guess. Non of us is a saint. ;)

Me too. I went to my high school weight and gained mass as my strength went through the roof. I wish my parents weren't sheeple and I could have been vegan from the start.

I feel for you, but you're doing a good thing by going vegan. If you die it won't happen any animal. So stay strong.

Miss Deluxe I can really relate to that.. It's incredible before I went vegan I didn't care much about farmed animals although I was vegetarian but mainly for health. Then vegan at first for health but now I think the ethics became even more important to me and I'm just happy that it happens to be the healthiest diet as well. Also aesthetics are an important reason now why I'm vegan I just find dairy (pus) and corpses often contaminated with fecal bacterias just too disgusting to consume lol

+ Miss Deluxe im the opposite when i learn of people doing horrible things i have to deal with violent homicidal thoughts

LoL you are being malnourished like all vegas follow this supposidly valid scientific studies and youtubers.. after 2 years you will leave veganism because of health issues ... guaranteed.

Earthling Ed convinced me to go vegan for ethical reasons, but weight loss would sure be a nice perk... I'll probably have to cut back on the delicious chocolate almond milk though :P

@@duchas you do know that veganism is not new and there are people who have been vegan their whole lives or most of their lives?

@@duchas Healthy doesn't mean malnourished dumbass

Honeymoon phase... been there done that after a few months it’ll all change just make sure u listen to your body cuz believe me it won’t last too long Angela good luck 🙏

Han Boetes I am planning on getting my family onto a vegan diet. I am currently 32 , almost 33 weeks pregnant and knowing I plan to have this little one Vegan from birth excites me. My children are still young as well (5 year old and 3 year old) where I am excited about them going through the little changes now so they crave the healthy foods as adults. *we dont eat super bad now...but knowing we can do so much better for our bodies excites me to make the change* ♡♡ I am 26 years old, hubby is 27 and better now then never is how I view it.. I didnt really know much about Vegan eating before recently. So greatful for these videos and all the Vegan Vloggers for sharing facts and helping others become educated :D

Any time is the best time to go vegan. I absolutely love it.

Congratulations on making a great decision for yourself, for the environment, and for the sentient creatures of this planet! I went vegan over three months ago, and it's easily one of the best decisions I've made. You should check out the Vegan Corner on KZfaq for some great recipes (100% free, with video guides!)

Tim D'Egidio I will, thank you! I'm 19 and I aim to be vegan for the rest of my life. I'm finding it so easy. There's no challenge for me when I compare it with the lives of animals. I've been cooking so much and I'm just throwing myself into the lifestyle, I love it! ❤️

Kayla Crane Lol you spelled educated wrong.

I can't help but hope that my back pain will decrease enough for me to ride a bike. I have not done so in 24 years. Looking forward to enjoying lots of physical activity. The vegan lifestyle is new to me; I started a week ago. But, it is easier than I thought, and I will be able to stick with it.

Also eat a lot of soy :)

Lots of Vegan girls have hard problemsmwith period and fertility.. I mean its good that you stopped eating trash foods thats why some people get better but going to herbivore diet ( that we are not) will bring also problems time to time..

@@duchas We are frutivores. Hush with your nonsense

literally...

Same 😂😂😂

I used to catch colds whenever they came around, especially during Winter... After going vegan, I had one mild cold last Winter, and was otherwise healthy. :)

Great 👍. But dont forget b12 supplement

Same!!

I know the struggle but in the end of the day they are grown ups and have to pay the consequences of their choices. Something I've learned is that people won't change if they don't have the will to do so...

Jill Aaron I hear ya I'm vegetarian transitioning to vegan no one in my family gets it they gave a history of diabetes and strokes high blood pressure

It boils down to fear of the unknown. Adopting new habits is a huge hurdle for most people. The first step is adopting a more open mind set. Then you need repitition. You have to stay mindful. Most people are on an autopilot program most of the time.

Oh my god I used to have lower back pain all the time and I don't struggle with it anymore! Never correlated it with being vegan.

I actually go to the gym so no need for pointless walking. And yes, it may be bcuz I'm gaining muscles, but all my fat ain't gonna turn into muscles so I should lose like 5kg or so. I'm 5ft.3 and 57kg so I'm not fat, but I'm not a stick figure either so idk why I'm not losing anything.

@@TheLanuella Eating too much sugar?

@@niijigod3864 No papa

@@Kurostyle21 Yes

Try checking out the starch solution

that's hilarious! I wish I could say the same, but I don't even know one single other vegan

I smell class one carcinogens

Cortney Stetson no

One weird thing that happened to me is that now when bacon is cooking, i notice a strange underlying note of pig manure. It's so weird. Most people love the smell of bacon but it smells like literal shit to me now.

Was about to comment that :) He deserves this (and more) so much,

Vanessa Parks great achievement 😍

Such an important milestone for youtubers like us! Congratulations Mic, this is really well deserved, hope to reach it sometime!😁

Thanks so much! It's been hard work but it feels like play most of the time.

Mic. the Vegan being vegan is so much fun! Now all the animals I see are friends instead of "lesser and eatable" beings :)

🤦🏻‍♀️

SMH - plz hang in there....it took my daughter 6 mos but Im now Vegan. I luv my daughter for her effort & patiences.

Oh no :( I'm so sorry.. did she explain? How long was she vegan?

She wasn't doing it right then... luckily you have the ethical and environmental arguments left if she wants to ignore all the evidence and recipies easily accessible online :D

then quiz her on it find out why and research it and cal her out on her bs. I wouldn't let anything like that go

Lol the meat won't be what'll kill her. The irony will.

lol

Same. I will STAY vegan

Well, I have some suggestions about what works for me: oatmeal has more protein than you think, and many nutrients. I eat lots daily, but also pinto beans and brown rice together are delicious with picante sauce and onions plus cayenne pepper. Also, I slice potatoes and put them on trays in the oven (without oil) and cook for a total of 30 minutes. They are delicious to me. Good luck! Tracking food in cronometer helps a lot to see what you are missing. Don't quit while your digestion adjusts, you'll make it and feel great!

JUST DO IT!💪🏽

& do it now!!!

Congrats man, and welcome to the fam! Chana Saag is a really good vegan Indian dish I highly recommend, btw.

Lol

Definitios some soda may be vegan but they ain't healthy haha

😂😂😂

get out

Tell me more about this, the mainstream generally tells you myopia is irreversible.

Exotic Parallel Sure! Love to! Yeah, that's what my jackass optometrist said when I asked if I could fix it and his response was laughing at me and telling me to get LASIK. I had an eye exam in 2014 and one eye had improved a quarter of a point within 9 months of me being done with school so less computer time and less reliance on glasses for class, I can see how that might happen, or at the very least I can see my vision not getting worse. That was also a change measured over the course of 4 years since my last exam had been in 2010. But a year after that 2014 appointment I went vegan and a year and a half after that, my prescription had gone down an entire point in each eye. Prescriptions are said to be good for 2 years and then they may change a little, but 6 months after my prescription allegedly expired, there had been a drastic change. I asked what my prescription was, my new doc casually told me what it was since she didn't know my old prescription and I said "NO WAY, that's crazy!!!" She looked at me like I was indeed nuts, but at least she didn't say that it shouldn't have happened when I told her why I was surprised. It was more of a "good for you! Now go look at frames while your eyes dilate," kind of thing. The only thing that had changed from my previous appointment (aside from a horrible concussion that if anything probably would have made things worse) was the change in diet, and it makes sense to me. Reduce inflammation in your body and your eyes will stop puffing in weird shapes? Like how when you get a stomach bug so you take it easy for a while with a lot of clear liquids and things get better since your body isn't using all of its energy to digest your food. And I know the whole "carrots improve your night vision" thing was an explanation our military gave Germany to hide our radar technology, but if you're eating a more nutrient dense diet with a lot more calories, then those nutrients are going to go in and fix what's broken without your body worrying about having enough energy to keep you vertical. Really, the widespread plague of craptastic eyesight has only kicked in in the last couple of centuries as far as I can tell, and that's about when we started hardcore messing with our food supply and eating a lot more animal products. Sure, one could argue that cars were slower or nonexistent and classes were smaller and street signs weren't as prevalent so someone may not have noticed if they had bad eyes as easily as we do now, but they looked at the stars for a sense of direction and that's pretty important so I feel like if you couldn't tell where you were going you would know there was an issue. I've read some commentary and some people have been vegan far longer than I have and their eyes have gotten worse so maybe they had some genetics at work there or I'm just lucky, but the basic science makes me feel like my reasoning is somewhat sound. It could also be partly that the arteries cleared out and improved circulation, similar to the erectile dysfunction solution that Mike frequently sites, although myopia being a lense shape issue my money would go on the bulk of my improvement being due to the inflammation side of things. But I'm not a doctor, just someone who would love to see some research done on this stuff and is super excited to pop some weak lenses in her frames! Sorry, that's a lot of rambling but my science brain likes to argue different theories and play devil's advocate with me. On the bright side, in really comes in handy when I have to circumvent internet troll responses (and I've been doing that a lot lately)!

I undertand what you are theorizing but what you just said was a lot of pseudoscience. Diet has implications for macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetetic retinopathy and other degerative eye diseases. But myopia is NOT a disease or illness. I don't know your exact circumstance of the condition you have, but from the research I have done there is no evidence that diet leads to myopia. (BUT WAIT THERES MORE) The myopia industry is even worse than the whole animal products industry in a lot of ways. The people that make money off of lens sales and surgery will tell you either myopia is genetic or there is no cause. But the cause of myopia is known well in science. Your eyes are designed for distance vision, when you are constantly looking up close it causes the action of your ciliary muscle to shape the lens in your eye so you are able to see up close again. After a long time, this muscle becomes strained. Think of what happens when you close your fist tightly for a few minutes and then try to open it again? Your hand will spasm and struggle to relax. Now imagine repeating this action 10 hours a day each day for months or years. The Same action happens within your eye, wherein when your ciliary muscle becomes fatigued, and now you perceive a blur. it is like you are (stuck in close up). After a long time, this issue can become chronic. This is a known as Near Induced Transient Myopia in clinical optometry. Now what happens is you go to the optometrist and this SYMPTOM is misdiagnosed with minus lenses. If the client is not told to limit the near induced stimulus then the initial problem COULD become worse. Here's why. What you have to understand is minus lenses are a fixed correction, it does not change. But the advanced biology of your eye doesn't know that. Now when you look up close again when using these lenses, the focal plane (where light focuses) is now behind the retina, and this is known as hyperopic defocus. The eye is abe to understand what to do to correct this defocus, to shape the ciliary muscle to regain focus. However if the ciliary muscle is unable to regain focus, the eye must formulate a new response. What happens next is your optic nerve sends a signal to the visual cortex that there is a defocus that the ciliary muscle cannot correct for any longer, a signal is then sent back to the eye to activate neuromodulators on the retina to increase the axial length (length from cornea to the retina) and make the eye longer so that the focus is put back onto the retina and stress is taken off of the ciliary muscle. (This is all shown in thousands of clinical epidemiological studies as Pseudomyopia, or Near-Induced-Transient-Myopia, we will call it NISM from here on out)a hormone is released that causes the sclera tissue to become kind of elastcy so it can stretch. And a collection of neuromodulators than regulate the corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and most importantly, axial length. Axial length is the distance from the rear cornea to the posterior retina. And this is the main issue in myopia. The eye will regulate its growth until proper focus is regained. NISM may be the result of just a ciliary spasm or a few microns of axial elongation, however, the result is the same, a new problem has occurred. That is when you now look into the distance you perceive a slight blur, this takes years to develop and is very slow. So what do you do? You go to the optometrist and they give you a minus lens. It seems like when you put these glasses on that the problem is fixed, but really what happened is it has compensated for a defocus by curving the light for you. But what happens when you now look up close? Now there is a major defocus causing the eye to rapidly increase the axial length and depending on various factors like length of time in near, genetics, depth of field, level of defocus your eyesight in the distance will again be off, and now you need to get new glasses to see once again, this cycle continues for however long you allow it to, despite the popular myth optometrists like to tell that "your eyes are growing" or "getting used to". I know people and I'm sure you know people who have gotten there the first pair of glasses in their thirties. HOW TO REVERSE MYOPIA: In the same way, myopia is induced with a minus lens and close up, it can be reversed with a reduced minus lens and distance. This means finding out your prescription and reducing it down until you can see 20/50 on the eye chart. Now what happens when you look in the distance is your visual cortex receives a signal that there is a defocus again, but this time the image is perceived in front of the retina, rather than behind as before. If the visual cortex can perceive which direction this defocus is coming from it will give the opposite effect and tell the eye to shorten axially, this includes corneal thickness, as demonstrated in hundreds of studies on animals and humans alike. Here is the important part, the hardest part about this is to get the visual cortex to understand which direction the defocus is coming from. This was shown in a study that was unsuccessful in reversing myopia. The researchers concluded that this was a result of the visual cortex being unable to detect the direction of defocus and thus grew longer in response. Other studies, however, have proven without a doubt that the retinal control system and axial elongation and shortening of the human eye do happen, as previously discovered in animal studies. So the question is how to get the visual cortex to understand the defocus and what the to do to correct it, this is where you can look into active focusing which seems to be the most successful method. Look up endmyopia on youtube he has hundreds of videos talking about all of this stuff and inks studies.
