Absolutely!

Lol, lily, you also help a lot on your channel! (Fancy seeing you here 😉).

It's one of the things that has persuaded me to give vegan food a chance. my family have been vegan for about a month now and I can't believe how much healthier we are all feeling. It's mostly thanks to the logic and rational explanations from Mic and others that helped me see through the rubbish that the meat/dairy industries put out there. Thanks to all of you for being so practical :)

Thanks! Too bad everyone still wants the irrational drama 😂 keep it up

A very sweet reply; I also think Mic should be commended for all the research he does and his organized presentations, which actually is not the norm in any vlog, vegan or not, on any subject in fact.

@@mairimka8757 yeah I have pretty fair skin as well and can't really tan either but I get freckles in summer which helps. So I usually just get the "you look sick" in winter

mairimka lol me too. My Mum told me I looked pale and ill the other day. I reminded her that as a pre-teen/teenager, I was pale due to severe anaemia and very thin, when she was feeding me meat and dairy every day. I’m not anaemic any more, but I’m still pale as a ghost because I burn horribly in the sun and load up on sunscreen every day 😎

@@dsvwtrbeytnryune Cover up and put sunscreen on the exposed bits. Eliminate the endocrine disruptors.

I think 21/22 sounds like a healthy bmi but it also depends on your height and age.

@@narrgamedesigner2747 wrong

That's wonderful to hear. I recently started including more fat in my diet as well, mostly from peanut butter. I am thin too and have had issues when I would eat mostly whole foods with gaining weight.

I second that. Like you said, I needed to hear this. I finished my college swimming career one year ago. During training I was putting down almost 4500 calories per day, but I was remaining 19% BMI. After a year of having drastically lower appetite, I have dropped below 17. Incorporating more coconut olive and/or avocado can really help me eat a higher volume. My body is still accustomed to metabolizing 3000+ calories per day, but my intake has dropped because I’m not swimming 5 miles per day anymore (not an exaggeration). So thank you to Mic for putting this video out.

You can add raw tahini to your meals, it's super nutritious and it's really good as a side dish with veggies :)

I experience the same, that is why I use avocado or walnut oil in my salads or veggies. Also I do no longer reject food cooked by my mom nor am I afraid and unable to go to a restaurant.

@@maayans.181 I eat way too much tahini

@TheMatron'sMilitia Vegan flexitarian? That's not vegan, vegan is absolute avoiding eating, drinking, using and exploiting animals, but it's not necessarily not wearing wool, it's simply not wearing things from dead animals, note, blood is not vegan even if the animal is alive because it's exploitation of animals. Vegan is defined as: a strict vegetarian who doesn't eat, drink, use, or wear or go to entertainments of animal cruelty and animal exploitation, especially from dead animals. Honey is vegan, but in reality it's quasi-vegan because it's beegan.

@TheMatron'sMilitia Let me paraphrase what I said: "in reality, honey is quasi-vegan because it's beegan". Try to figure that one out.

@TheMatron'sMilitia They're also part of a subkingdom that includes all animals except for sponges. Bees are insects, so what? I love insects, I don't use anything from an exploited or dead bee, therefore beeganism is veganism with a future for bee farmers, rather than veganism with heart. I'll be vegan my way, you you be vegan your way, and furthermore ", as far as is possible and practicable", not no matter what, therefore I'm going as far as I can go to avoid exploitation and cruelty to animals. You're not telling me the truth with your thoughts, you're just telling me the truth of the textbook definition, you're not the definition and you know you're outveganing other vegans.

How does a pun on the concept of having some plant oil in your vegan diet turn into a darn scrap about honey between vegan fanatics!? Seriously! This is exactly the type of play school sandpit fighting that puts meat eaters off of even thinking of going vegan! “Militia” is exactly why others so many people say they don’t want to know - because they don’t want to be interrogated by the vegan police!

@@annwilliams6438 No, it's a discussion between someone who thinks exploiting bees is vegan and someone who is rational.

Haha!!!! Nice, K.

His house building videos are very educational.

Cassandra Bankson Hell Yes seeing you comment on vegan creators videos 💕

Of interest, scientific evidence does not support sunscreen application to prevent skin cancer. However - what about common sense, hahaha

@@hs20231 Review da Silva et al. Use of sunscreen and risk of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Conclusions: "While the current evidence suggests no increased risk of skin cancer related to sunscreen use, this systematic review does not confirm the expected protective benefits of sunscreen against skin cancer in the general population."

Did your son get a covid vaccine?

I like that motto, "...Imperfectly but sustainably"

My mentality is "it's NOT meat and dairy, I NEVER went vegan for my health, and there's no greater torture than cold toast with no butter. You can pry my vegan butter from my cholesterol consumed corpse"

That channel is gross, just like sv3rige's. Both are dishonest with an antivegan (pro violence) agenda.

@French blue8 Yeah, sv3rige is racist, homophobic, pro murder, pro rape, cannibalism, animal killing, etc. Plus he stabbed 4 kids from his school which he denies but it was reported in the media.

@French blue8 It's called 'vegan deterioration'. They never focus on vegans who are clearly thriving, or they selectively pick photos that make people look bad. It's all about looks.

@@adiohead waaaaat? What a horrible human being! Unbelievable that he has the kind of following he does! Scary, really!

yes +1 +1 +1

Sandra O. Yeah I don’t think she does and ironically Vegetable Police just made a video going through the lighting and he featured her video about me. Her comment section is amazing too. People accusing me of having fake teeth and shit. Got your message too, thanks.

Disgusting channel, tbh.

@@MictheVegan ....It's the same old story MIC....nice job with this as usual and I'll say the same thing I said with your last oil video....All you have to do is look at your labs and titrate your nutrition accordingly....I've been a nurse for almost 30 years and worked in wellness for most of that....well that was after working in the ER and ICU and taking care of post-op open heart surgery patients....almost all of which was preventable....I did my ICU clinical at The Cleveland Clinic while I was in nursing school at KSU, and also worked in the ICU there after graduating....Dr. Esselstyn did his research there and changed things forever....this is why The Clinic started their wellness program and why so may companies have them now....people think they know things....most do not....I know because this is what I do every single day...and the more companies that have wellness programs the more people will learn about what really effects health and prevention of metabolic disease........it is absolutely amazing what doctors tell their patients and i am glad I am there to help them because so many of them desperately want help and do no know where to turn....my son and I started a channel to help the employees out that I work with and they love it....we have a dachshund just like you did and she stars in many of our videos hahaha....you are helping people understand their nutrition better everyday and keep up the good work as the world needs more people like you....thanks for the inspiration!!!! Jack and Dan

I regularly report that channel as misleading information. Thenowner looks as if she need to address her own health issues. Her arms like like ham hocks.

@@alexiswinter7056 This comment made me laugh out loud at the gym

kindcounselor thanks!

I think people are just getting too accustomed to thinking being overweight is normal!

agreed. I felt extremely restricted/controlled and even depressed as someone who could never eat oil. I feel better when I stick to low oil.

Yay glad I didn’t mess up that section! I miss Hawaii already.

@@MictheVegan the islands are here when you are ready to return! 🌊🌺🌊

What do you cook with?

I just cook with a bit of water or vegetable broth rather than oil. I do very, very, little frying anyway, just occasional light sauté. And for veggies, I'll often just microwave them - works very well, very tasty that way. Or I'll steam them, which also works great ( takes a little longer, and I'm lazy :). Simpler the better, for me.

@@tspicks4360 Thank you. I'll try that. I don't have a microwave oven, but I'll try using water.

T's Picks try baking your veggies too on parchment paper (no oil) add seasoning and it’s so freaking good!

@Taiwo Omotosho Been cooking with water for the last few days. It works, but it's easier for the food to stick to the pan. The challenge also is that a lot of foods have oil in them (vegan butter, vegan cheese, etc.).

I thought so too. But if you compare his old photos. Current mic has definitely lost color in his face. I was in denial at first but every video shows it clearly

Christian Lee everyone gets older, everyone changes, looks depends on light and Camera lenses etc... There Are so many factors that you Need To count.

I also gained weight eating mostly fruit when I went vegan. I was thin before but wouldn't say I was underweight.

Fox Boy yeah I should’ve mentioned that you don’t need oil to gain weight. Thanks

This is so true, and I think I heard Dr. Gregor mention the same thing as well.

@@denboyz9735 Gregor actually says he tells people what is healthy and not what he thicks people must eat every day, so they can decide for themselves. He himself says he doesn't always follow those rules and that is fine. It doesn't matter what you eat sunday night, but what you eat the rest of the week.

You lost weight because cutting out oil meant that you cut out a fair amount of calories. Oil is about the most calorie dense item you could consume.

@@gSWG3R Yes, exactly. Even if there were some positive effects from cutting oil, I just wanted to say that for me it's overall acutally healthier to still use oil in moderation (as Mic said). But i think it's always interesting to try out adding or excluding certain things for a short period of time (and always with your health in mind!), because you can learn so much about your body. I think with our industrial, processed food with its overpowering fat, oil and/or sugar (and with that a permanent triggering of the "reward centers" in our brain), we lost a sense of "food-wisdom". Meaning: Knowing what your body needs given a certain activity/situation. So shoutout to (actually) Try and (maybe) Error. ;)

It's okay to be under the BMI scale i you're "otherwise" healthy. Why studies see risks with having a low BMI is because a lot of people that already have deceases also have low bmi (or are unable to eat)

For you it would be healthier to use oil in moderation rather than avoid it altogether, or perhaps to select foods higher in fat (like avacado, olives, or tahini, for instance). Also, be sure you get enough protein. Most people don't have that problem, though, but somebody who is underweight should be focusing on getting enough calories.

Whole Plant Foods Genesis 1:29 thanks for saying this. I just got diagnosed with that plus diabetes so I’m definitely going to do no oil now (plus jump back on the plant based eating style)

I hear that Maria. My kids definitely effect my diet in the way of snacking and sugar. Being a good mother is a tough job but someone's got to do it or we'll have a world full of jerks that think it's okay to shame women who have children. Keep up the good work ♡

,Eternal Rambler, when you stick your nose in another person's life choices, don't act so surprised when it gets chewed on.

I hear you, my wife and I always make sure our kids eat healthy, but will collapse on the couch with highly processed burgers and a bowl of fries on the couch every now and then.

ditto

The reason calories from fat aren't being calculated anymore is because the FDA is more interested in how much added sugar is in a serving. They stopped doing calories from fat when they forced the added sugar category.

@@sheilasherret9596 Thanks Sheila!

You must be new go look at his videos from years ago.

Watch, and consider this video before you continue feeding your sons a vegan diet. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9ebodmHyb_QeZc.html

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi! Please watch the channel VegSource. Jeff Nelson has produced an excellent video on that recently.

@@vetervgolovy I saw the video. It was compelling, but I don't think it answers the question. Additionally, the studies he used were based on fish oil, not algae.

And no one says don’t eat any fat at all! It is about whole plants make some of these plants nuts, seed, avocados etc.

@Christian Elkjær I never said oil, I hate oil. Nuts/seeds are ok too.

@@nommh Yep.

Yes, comorbidity is common with eating disorder sufferers but that can include depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders too. Personality disorders are basically with a person for all his/her life, eating disorders not so, they can be treated.

@@florencescheepers9736 Eating disorders can be threatened yes, but its usually just a symptom of some underlying issue. Unless its resolved, you will most likely just find other ways to self harm/sabotage that are not so obvious. I dont believe that there are people who only have an "eating disorder", as it would not have any use or function. It would be just utterly pointless behavior. Eating is so basic core function, much like sex that it mirrors the person inner landscape quite well.

And then can you do one about IBS on a vegan diet as well? Pretty please!!

Do the carnivore diet. You're blood sugar will never change.

IBS goes away on the carnivore diet

@@tayganbeat3606 you need to read up about fibre and IBS, then read up about plant antinutrients. The answer for gut health is a plant free diet. Carnivore literally changed my life after 3 years vegan being told I was doing it wrong by every vegan 'experts'

@@KISSKetoitSimpleforSuccess I had IBS when I was eating meat, that's why I went vegan. But thank you for your input :)

GoHomeRog I wish I could somehow test them all. I have learned that treating them right is half the battle. No using metal anything, for some don’t cook over medium temp, going from hot to cold too fats can mess them up too. Wish I had an answer.

It depends on whatn you want to cook. Sometimes non Teflon non stick is the best; sometimes seasoned cast iron is the best. I do find the new ceramic ones are not that non stick in practice and of course stainless steel is terrible.

The rock classic pans! Absolutely the best

Ok. Cause in November we bout the Red Copper pans. They were great for 6 months. Bought all silicone utensil for them and treated them pretty well. But the ones we use the most (3-5 times a week) are no longer "non-stick" ☹️

@TheLocalFuzz That's easy same rules apply and eat them in whole food form as ground chia, flax, and hemp seeds.

have you tried the soy curls? I like to make them with a teriyaki sauce. =]

I wonder what Mic's take is on any ____ protein isolates. I heard they are inflammatory but forgot from where.

@@Thepianoman77 Sadly i have not, but i plan on ordering them online!

The soy curls are just dehydrated soy beans and made into little strips.

Taylor Armstrong ... I could also stain the plywood the same color as the treads....

Taylor Armstrong I think he means he's painting the risers white, not the tread. Having the plywood unpainted next to those nice-looking treads would be a bad design choice

Mic the Vegan I would definitely go with the stain! My uncle has entirely plywood stained floors and they do appear quite esquite…

And heart disease.

just meditate more or something

Vegan is killing man atleast go vegetarian which is sustainable even in countries like india

@@mr.nobodyil6954 hey sorry i was a vegan for 2 years i wanted to say kills body so i eat just ghee from personal cows they are given back the curd after sepearting the fats she wont be killed and secondly her calves are enjoying with her no it is not sustenable i did it for some month now uses coconut oil in india once a week due to excessive dry skin caused by vegan lifestyle maybe because i left all the fats suddenly

@@mr.nobodyil6954 i am a vegan currently and would love to stay so but economic restrictions too so i was using ghee

@Bob Bobbington McBob no i lost a lot of eeoght going vegan you can whatsapp and contact me still my weight 60 for a 6 feet guy ghee helped me gain 65

@Bob Bobbington McBob i was 90 on old crappy vegetarian diet now i use ghee for cooking and gaining weight veganism made me 54 from 90 thankful for ot but there is a time to stop mate 😀
