Where my ex-vegans at? Thoughts?

I was vegan for about 2 years, took a lot of supplements, multivitamins ect, but that way of eating just led me to anorexia with a lot of another symptoms. Although my analysis were good, I obviously was nutrient deficient. So maybe blood test found those supplements in my body, but nothing was absorbed. ONLY eating animal food made me feel millions times better

Great list Kait, food quality is more important than people think.

I’ll get my popcorn ready for the vegan comments...

Another good one Kait. Why haven’t our doctors been taught this stuff?! Certainly proper nutrition is the bedrock of good health. I’m in the US and rarely, if ever, do I discuss diet with my doctor.

I tried going vegetarian once and it made me seriously ill. Now I know why.

I just love your videos and content! You're information is so helpful to me and your Knowledge that you share is Awesome! Thank you and have a wonderful week. 👍🤘💪😁

Thank you for sharing this, I've been worried about some family members after I went keto and started learning more about both keto and carnivore. I keep sharing common sense videos and articles, but the vegetarian/vegan dogma has them snowed. I hope something gets through before lasting damage is done to them and their children.

Great info, thanks Kait 👍

Don’t forget Vitamin E? Since it’s a fat soluble vitamin and most vegetables are low in fat. You literally can’t absorb them without adding some animal fats to it

The beta carotene to retinol conversion estimates also doesn't take into account that huge upfront doses of beta carotene rarely, if ever, convert the way the math claims. The body can't process it. Eating smaller amounts of beta carotene throughout the day would result in better conversion, but who even does that? So combine poor overall conversion rates with poor conversion rates from high-dose beta carotene sources - like eating an entire sweet potato, or even taking a supplement - and what's left for your body to use? Who knows! It's veeeegan!

I have a friend, she's vegetarian, not vegan. She'll sometimes eat some fish, butter,milk, etc. She is 27 and collapsing: her hair falling out, zero muscle mass (she is super skinny, but skinny fat), pre-diebetic symptoms, massive anxiety, regular migranes. She absolutely refuses to see the connection between her health and her diet. It's so painful to watch.

Very informative!!!

Great, true, information as always.

Excellent video Kait, all the vital nutrients where in it. Thanks for the hard work.

Simply put for anyone to understand and well pointed out Kait. ✔

Great video!!!

Thanks for the great info. Taurine is another nutrient not found in plants. This is a very important one. Also Carnosine.

Blows my mind all the things we were taught back in the day is so wrong.😱

Awesome video!

Interesting subject! I have been on a ketogenic diet for 6 months and I had very good results, but now my weight loss seems to have stopped. I am tempted to try a carnivor diet but I have some concern about whether it is truly complete ? I wonder if there are some vitamins found exclusively in plants?

I’m really craving seafood over any other protein. I had scallops and ribeye last night and ate all the scallops and only 2 bites of the ribeye. I’m making salmon for dinner but also craving shrimp so may have that too or for lunch. I wonder what nutrients I’m needing, maybe iodine?? I started taking krill oil caps last week. Thanks for the great videos!

Great video. I'm sure the lack of creatine is what caused my brain fog and my husband's too.

I took so many ibuprofen my B12 was gone , almost crippled me and would have if not discovered, I think a vitamin lab test is essential if you feel sick or weak

No new information for me, but really great summary! This gies straight into my "watch again" Playlist, so i can share it with vegans, tge next time I'm debating obe! :D

I was vegan for a year and honestly I was fine. I didn’t have any deficiencies. Maybe it’s because I was taking a multivitamin and it was only a year. I’ve found that I prefer just a balance diet without rice and refined carbs. You guys at the extreme ends are my heroes because I couldn’t just do one and not the other. I need my variety 😩

Good video.

How about choline, carnatine, taurine, creatine..

It would be nice if KZfaq recommends this video to vegan channels...knowledge is power!! Thanks Kait!!👍😁🥩

Just venting but I watched The Game Changer, and I'm freaked out! It was so well done with multiple "lies" that I can see why its changing people's way of eating. It made meat look so bad. I know better, but as an American, I also know how easy it is to get one over on us. I really dont care what people choose to eat, it is a choice, but some people are talking about changing laws that would affect me, like meat and dairy taxes. Right now I like the WFPB folks because it keeps my animal products affordable but hearing how they want to affect my life makes me want to speak up, and not nicely. I guess it's not enough to hate someone based on there political ideas here, now we get to hate one another over food, too🙄. By the way, I really enjoy your videos. I (try) to eat the same as you...carnivore-ish, lol. (I say try because Thanksgiving messed me up and I'm fighting a sugar addiction that seems to be winning🤬)

Nice video.

The big question is why all essential vitamins fat soluble. eat raw liver and grow stronger

What about 5 MTHF which only exist in spinach, romaine lettuce, berries?

I see 13 vegans already

im not keto, ive been following a typical bodybuilders diet , how do i go carnivore?

I eat my steak with vitamin A1

TAURINE? carnitine? ETC ETC

The titels says only found in meat. But it’s also found in dairy and eggs. What is really on found in meat and nothing else

Vegetarians are the best then as we drink lots of milk curd paneer and cheese

Have you watched the latest video from the channel _Chubbyemu_ ? Please share your thoughts on it. If you find my two comments, then you will know my opinion on that.

I am allergic to seafood :)

Vision

Great information, BUT, Kate could you post your sources in the description? I make these arguements regularly with those that disagree with my keto-carnivore choices. I would love to read these studies to have some "beef" behind essential vitamins in meat based diets. It is frustrating how ingrained the idea that "vegetables are the best source of nutrients for the body." Most people cannot give me good sources for that arguement.

Nice video. But have to mention, that cholesterol is not really essential - I would consider it semi-essential.

lmao

A true vegan is doing it for the animals not which diet is best.

2:00 Is vison plural for bison? 😉🤣

I'm really glad you shared this. I recently found out about the D3, and it confirmed for me again, the bible speaks facts. God gave us meat for a purpose 🙏

So much for veganism

I supplement a whole food plant-based diet with small amounts of meat and fish. So, my diet is a low fat, high whole grain carb diet, as no refined oils and fats are used. I only use vitamin D and vitamin B12 supplements. I eat between 3500 and 4000 Kcal a day despite wedging 54 kg, so I eat large amounts of food, containing a massive amount of nutrients. For example, I get one gram of magnesium, 80 grams of fiber, 150 grams of protein a day. I strongly believe in eating this way instead of eating (relatively) smaller quantities of special foods that are better absorbed or converted with higher efficiency by the body to the compounds needed. The body has evolved all sorts of systems to deal with the foods that can typically be found in nature. Meat, fish and eggs are part of a natural diet, but not in such huge quantities to meet all our nutritional demands from. I.m.o., bypassing systems that the human body evolved to use, such as the microbiome is not going to be optimal for long term health, even if it does help some people with certain symptoms. It's analogous to bypassing the capacity we have to exercise by not walking, running and using our cars all the time. It turns out not to be all that good for long term health. While one can manage an inactive lifestyle by reducing calorie intake, it's not going to be optimal for health. Just like I don't want to lose my muscles and my cardiovascular fitness and exercise for an hour a day, I also don't want my microbiome to atrophy away. So, I need to feed my microbiome, which means eating about 80 grams of fiber a day. But the gut microbes cannot survive on fiber alone, they also need protein, iron, magnesium etc., and that's where plant-based foods with lower bioavailability for many nutrients compared to meat comes in. Microbes in our large intestines will get their required nutrients if we get a significant fraction of our nutrients from plant-based foods. The diet I eat is not something any one can just start with. For example, today I had 1 kg of potatoes, 300 grams of broccoli , 300 grams of carrots and 80 grams of walnuts for dinner. Being able to eat this way requires having a good enough gut fitness. And i.m.o. that's healthy, just like being physically fit and being able to run for one hour at a fast pace is also healthy.

So how do the animals we eat get those vitamins 🤔 wow that was easy lol

Interesting, but I don't think its okay to make these claims without providing any sources. Is this information from the scientific literature or did it come to you in a dream?

No i won't subscribe! Do not ask.

I’d really like to hear your thoughts on the documentary “Game Changer.” It really pushes “plant based” but basically vegan. They really put a shame on eating meat.

5:20 But Kait, isn’t cholesterol bad and clog up your arteries???

What's your evidence that it's healthy to eat dietary cholesterol?

can you show a study where people took d2 and other took d3 and the d2 people had problems? no because if you did you would've provided that evidence. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5324269/ from conculsion "We conclude that: 1) the effects of D2 and D3 supplements on 25(OH)D level may be dosing-schedule, time and sex dependent. In the long term, D2 appears to be most effective when given daily and D3 appears to be most effective when given 2-weekly. Further, females appear to mount larger 25(OH)D response to D2 than males. 2) The D2-associated reduction in 25(OH)D3 level appears to be related to the increase in 25(OH)D level rather than being D2-specific, as it is related to baseline 25(OH)D level and D3 treatment may be also associated with a reduction in 25(OH)D2 level. This together with the well known association between baseline 25(OH)D level and response to D treatment suggest a regulatory mechanism that may be exploited in fine tuning determination of normal 25(OH)D level. 3) D2 appears to be 25-hydroxylated faster than D3. 4) The association between BMI and response to D supplement may be more pronounced with D2 and during the first few weeks of treatment. 5) D2 and D3 level in response to treatment are higher in females compared to males. 6) D treatment is associated with an increase in urinary creatinine level, which makes assessment of D effect using ratios that include creatinine misleading." so for a woman like you d 2 is better. this took me 20 seconds to locate hopefully you start researching real studies and leave blogs alone. ps my research was from 2017 yours is from 2011.

where is the study showing vegans who take a supplement are still deficient no matter how much they take?

8:21 are you claiming only vegans have AD? please link that study? why do you refuse to show the title of the studies? is it because this is an opinion piece done by a former meat and egg advisor? yes that's exactly why. nutrition.bmj.com/content/bmjnph/early/2019/09/03/bmjnph-2019-000037.full.pdf#page=3&zoom=100,0,928 Correction notice This article has been corrected since it was published online.

Provenance and peer review Not commissioned; externally peer reviewed. Data availability statement There are no data in this work. No data are available. What is she basing her facts about plant based diets on Kait? i looked at the references and saw no studies comparing choline levels between vegans to meat eater maybe you can reply below with that info and hopefully its within the past 5 years seeing as vegan foods really didn't blow up until recently so i'm sure vegans from decades ago might be deficient that's why we need to look at current data. I found this really interesting "It was written solely to raise choline awareness." So this wasn't written to show evidence that a plant based diet is detrimental to brain health? wow why are you so dishonest? you can't spin this against vegans when the article itself is saying that it's just an awareness piece. here's one of the plant based studies she listed maybe you should read it since you want to reference the article in a 10 min video. its reference 30. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27868444 "We discuss positive physiological effects of plant-based diet and its possible role in diseases risk reduction. Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases developing due to obesity could be prevented by a properly compiled plant-based diet. For patients with cancer minimizing the intake of foods of animal origin - as opposed to plant-based ones - has proved to have positive effects." you focus on nutrients because you can't focus on overall health because you lose in that arena.

Actually, I used to be meat based and felt really good, but now I'm plant based and feel so much more good!!!

cholesterol is a good but where is the research saying it needs to be ingested?

Why do you Americans start so many of your sentences with "so" ?
