Me too! I went Vegan for my health but stayed for the planet and animals. however, I am raw vegan. It's just easier because I have sensitivity to grains and nightshades and it makes me feel the best. I don't have a problem with calories intake and I hit most all my RDI numbers with food. But I still take a vitamin. Listen to your body.

Wrong The first and the latter Both wrong It always takes killing to eat

@@katrienopsomer8012 you are right but wrong. Everything on our planet has life force energry. The difference is when you eat an animal there life force energy leaves with death. When you kill a plant or cut down a tree for a door it will still contain the life force energy. The real problem is The planet is dying and needs major change. Which will happen even if you are resistent. So it doesn't really matter what you think or I just keep your eyes open and watch the earth try to save it's self. 😉 Namaste

Whoaaaaaa. The same thing happened to me! When I donated blood and got my heart rate checked it was in the 60's. I was floored and so excited!!!!! My heart rate was never this low in my life. It would typically be 92ish. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Same here. Every time I went to the Dr my blood pressure read high. She said we need to get you on meds. I had seen my parents go down the med option and needed to be on for life with added meds to control side effects. I said no! I'm finding an alternative route, to which she said "My dear, you are a ticking time bomb!". I researched and discovered that a meat rich diet could lead to heart problems. Went cold Turkey (pardon the pun) and ditched meat products and cheese and butter. Blood pressure dropped to normal within 3 months. I had to record it on a monitor for 2 weeks and take it to the Dr before she would believe me 🤣.

@Pieter Jan Zijlstra why do you even comment all you do is exposing yr lack of knowledge don't even bother about yr lack of sense 🐒

Pieter Jan Zijlstra I’ve looked at both sides, because I desperately wanted an excuse to eat nostalgically, but all I found was tradition.... the passing down of habits, than It say anything about eating animal products is healthy. Never use just one source, and make sure the source you’re using can hold well under pressure( their sources are credible and the experiment is sound).

Stop lying to yourself.

I had the same experience myself. I feel there is a significant difference between being vegan and vegetarian.

my health progressed eating paleo with some cheese. Good luck to you! This is no science

Vegan for 4 years. Now 65 (female). I agree with you Ava. I can't believe how fabulous I feel. And I did it for the Animals only. Never in my wildest dreams would I have known how much my health was going to improve. It's life changing.

Completely agree. Being vegan is a change in belief - primarily. When people go back to eating meat, they never changed their belief (that abstaining from meat and dairy is actually healthier and better than eating meat and dairy). There is a core belief that must be unshakable. Shallow people try vegan for a while. People that change their beliefs within to the positive and towards more honesty never go back to fear or selfish thinking. That’s REAL growth.

Rogan would never go for it, he is anti vegan and wouldn't like to be embarrassed.

Rogan would get SERVED by Dr. Garth. ❤️🌱✌🏻

That Kahn/Kresser trainwreck probably ruined our chances of seeing another debate on Rogan. I hope i'm wrong, Garth is the man for the task

I would think that, too. However, I was a vegan for ethical reasons about 25 years ago or more. Watched a Donahue show with Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz talk about John Robbins' book Diet for a New America which I went and bought and read and became vegan as a result. I was about 30. Went through a pregnancy and a few more years of eating vegan and at some point I started shopping at "health food" stores where they sold "humane" animal products and I began to eat a few here and there and then eventually ate more, but still only from those "humane" sources. Fooling myself I think, forgetting the horror I had read about and seen in videos. I just really lost sight of why I was vegan after a while. Then about 4 years ago as I was recovering from some surgery I was surfing the internet and came across Gary Yurovskys best speech ever (which has changed since then) but when I saw those images again of the calves in the dairy industry I said, no wait, I bawled," Never again!" I can't do this again! I cannot support this cruelty!" and so here I am 4 years later still vegan and planning to remain so for the rest of my life. As many vegans will say, we do the best we can do at any time to cause the least amount of harm to animals. We are not always perfectly able to but we sure try real hard! I'm going to be real honest and say that I know many true vegans who are vegan for the animals, but have eaten an animal product here or there over their many years of not. I know some vegans who still wear their leather shoes they got before they became vegan because they cannot afford new shoes yet....we need to not be too quick to judge others. This is the thing that causes carnivores to not like us. This feeling that we think of ourselves as better than people who eat meat and animal products. People need to be allowed to travel their journey their own way. Also, it is much easier to eat vegan now than it was 27 years ago as far as all the ready made choices and substitutes we have now. I like to be grateful for any time a person chooses to eat/dress less cruelly even if not all the time.

Really? There are some well known people who were vegan for 20 years and switched over to a high fat diet. I'll let you guess who they are.

Ehhh wrong... 🍗🥑🍌🍍it’s not about ethics. In the long run it’s about health. And like homeostasis it’s all about balance.... eat too much for too long of any diet and it’s bad for health... and they learn this when. They develop illnesses on the long run (as Carnivores illnesses learn too much meat 4 too long is not good either) because we are omnivores. That means we need both... not to die

Ricebunny Moon only obligate omnivores require both.

Burton Blazek what? 🤔 I suppose you are young and don’t know on your own flesh about ilnesses, because when you are young the body works well even with pebbles 😂, jaja after 25 whatever you give your body will show or become a disease but humans are omnivores, and WE NEED BOTH, e.g. vitamin C from plants 🍋 🍊 to avoid scurvy, and b12 FROM meat 🍖🥩 to avoid nerve damage and our brand going to mush to not die in the long run.

Your "13 yr old pediatrician"? Wow, she must've started uni early! lol ;)

Dara Berry my 10 year old got her monthly cycle once and then not again for the last 4 months so I know it’s going to start for real soon. I simply fed her more. I know I tend to be hungrier around that time so as a growing kid she has to be hungry. I’m lucky her doctor is great and pretty close to fully plant based himself so he agreed...just feed her more (certain foods of course). Both husbands parents are doctors and said feed her more. My Mom the CNA cried that she needed red meat daily now 🙄 First time I ever argued with my Mom so bad. She accused me of neglect so I accused her of brain damage. My MIL is a doctor first but also secondarily trained extensively in nutrition...my Mom thinks her CNA license makes her the expert 🙄 ignorance still exists. Not sure where my Mom went to nursing school but I’m pretty sure it was same place I went and only a couple years apart...our classes promoted plant based eating so I guess maybe she was absent that semester. Who knows but she has plenty of medical field friends who agree. One even told me feed my daughter liver during her monthly...how many 10 year olds would want to eat a liver? I can’t imagine eating liver being healthy considering the job it performs

Simon Naylor I see people continuously shaming ex-vegans for not researching enough or not going to enough doctors to look into their symptoms or not eating enough of a particular thing or not taking enough supplements, etc, etc. Shouldn’t the fact that it takes around-the-clock effort, planning, strategy, several months or years of research, numerous supplements, the guidance of health professionals, etc for some people to fully nourish themselves on a vegan diet show that the vegan diet may not be the best natural choice for the human body? What about people in other countries who don’t have access to the variety of plant-based food or supplements? What if people don’t have access to the information you have on knowing exactly what to eat? What if people don’t have health insurance to see doctors when they become sick on vegan diets? If it’s so easy to go malnourished on a vegan diet, it leads me to believe that humans are omnivores after all....I always see vegans saying “It’s not the vegan diet that made you sick, it’s because you didn’t eat this and this and this and that or because you didn’t take these supplements or research that, this and this.” I don’t see people on standard diets going malnourished from making a couple wrong decisions throughout week. It takes little to no effort to nourish myself and my kids on a standard diet. Sure, you can argue that too much meat and fat affects your health and heart, and I would even agree, but not malnourishment. I especially see problems with vegan parents trying to keep their vegan kids nourished and being shamed for giving up when their kids drop too much weight. I see a lot of vegan people in privileged countries trying hard to do all the right things, and then going malnourished and quitting after years of trying. To me, that’s a problem seeing as not all humans have access to the internet or resources that privileged people do. The fact that you have to be strategic and have all these resources in order to not starve, isn’t really showing others that this is the natural way for the human body. I don’t eat a lot of animal products and detest most meats but I don’t have to constantly think hard throughout the day at all and be strategic about my food choices in order not to become malnourished. That speaks volumes to me. On an a standard diet you can afford to skip meals or fast and not feel weak, sick or affected. When I observe friends and family on vegan diets, missing a meal or not abiding by the perfect vegan lifestyle blueprint, they become discolored, easily fatigued and complain of feeling weak or sick. You don’t see that with most actual herbivore animals. Many plant-eating animals can even go days without a food source and don’t need extra supplements to remain healthy or strong. When it comes to humans on vegan diets who are supposedly “herbivores” too, however, they can literally die or become sick from simply not sticking to a specific script... ESPECIALLY growing children. In my humble opinion, it just doesn’t seem like a lifestyle that the majority of population can sustain without your internet guides and an access to a variety of vegetables, nuts, fruits, oils, supplements, etc... especially for people in colder climates, hot or dry climates, poorer countries, counties that don’t participate in international trade of particular goods, villages who only farm a handful of produce or people who simply haven’t run into the research that you’ve encountered in your vegan journey. If so many vegan people have failed while being privileged and living in first world countries with access to so many resources... what does that say for the rest of us in the world who aren’t so privileged and lucky?

Millions of people can do it by using common sense. Vegan isn't a diet.

Simon Naylor What a pretentious, condescending response to assume people who have been vegan for several years and give up because of health issues simply don’t have “common sense.” It’s a lot deeper than that. No wonder so many are afraid to be truthful about their health issues because vegans constantly shame people, call them “murderers” or imply they are stupid. My sister’s family went vegan and she and her middle child drastically dropped under weight. She was already a thin woman to begin with and once she became vegan, she couldn’t keep on weight no matter what she tried. She went to nutritionists, vegan doctors, tried many times to manipulate her diet, increased her calories, etc to try to get her and her son’s weight back up. Having to add animal products back to her diet was one of the hardest decisions of her life and she became depressed about it but ultimately had to make a decision for her and her son’s health. It’s seriously disgusting to see so many people shaming others who run into health issues and have to change their lifestyle. It’s sad. My sister won’t even admit to people in the vegan community that she’s no longer vegan and I never understood that until today, going through all these vegan videos. I feel silly because I really didn’t know what she meant and tried to convince her that vegans would be understanding since she and her son are at dangerous weights. But now reading through the comments I know what she means and why she keeps it a secret.

Kam Bizzle You don’t stop being a vegan. Either you believe in principle of contributing to the unnecessary suffering, exploitation, use, harm, and death of animals for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation, products, etc or you don’t. If you believe in that, you don’t change. The people who change were not vegan. They are plant based diets. You can’t be an ex-vegan. If you have a problem with your plant based diet, find out what essential nutrient you are lacking and then get it from a plant-based source. There is nothing in animal products we can’t get from plants, besides things like dietary cholesterol that give us heart disease. Veganism isn’t the problem. People not understanding what vegan means, not understanding they can get every nutrient they need from plants, and people thinking killing exploiting and harming animals is necessary or ok is the problem.

@Beast Mode oxymoronic, but any efforts a good effort I guess

I bet many people wish they could go back and slap themselves into not making that mistake.

True that Edward.

Don't make the "no true Scotsman" fallacy, it won't help the vegan movement.. And I'm vegan. Use "they weren't ethical vegans" instead.

​@@darkensdiablos but that is also fallacious dude. Even the official definition of veganism says to do what is 'reasonable' and 'practicable' to reduce animal exploitation. Is it really reasonable and practicable to accept a gradual decline in your health? I have been trying for two years to eat the diet most optimal for digestion and skin and it has still steadily declined to a point where it's seriously affecting my quality of life - I know what the science says as I've spent many hours trying to 'school' my friends on said science but finally I am now feeling failed and lied to just like a great deal of other ex-vegans (I'm still eating plant based at this point) and the more I research with an open mind the more I see that no one is addressing the decline in digestion and skin health

Why is it nonsense? Because you can't face the truth?

They should make less conving videos, that will help the vegan cause. Maybe if they try harder to not age so bad because the lack of colagen or be less crazy because lack of b12 and excessive sugar , maybe people will not take these videos as so convincing.

Lmao vegetables and other things that vegans eat require farming, which requires the slaughter of every rabbit, squirrel, chipmunk, snake, turtle, ground hog, raccoon, fox, deer, etc. if these animals were allowed to roam free on these farms, there wouldn’t be any crops to support your bullshit diet. The food you eat is meant for the animals that you don’t eat. You’re supposed to eat the animals that eat the plants that you eat because their bodies are designed to break down and convert nutrients that end up in the muscle, which ends up in your body for nutrition when your eat the meat, and their digestive system removes the toxins that end up in your body when YOU eat the plants. Only animals with multi chambered stomachs are supposed to eat plants. Humans have one stomach. Let the animals eat the plants, and let people eat the animals. It’s how the circle of life was always meant to be. I hate abusive and inhumane animal farming as well, which is why I get my meat from one of the greatest small town farmers in the country. He has the healthiest and happiest animals, and they taste great too!

If youre eatting junk food now, you were probably eating junk food as an omnivore, and when you went vegan, it probably didnt help your health at all because its the junk food in both vegan and omnivourous diets that causes health issues, not the animal products. Maybe you have health issues and symptoms of health issues, but you dont really notice them because theyve become normal for you.
