How Your Body Transforms On A Vegan Diet 

Went vegan back in February and my acne has completely disappeared

I tried being vegan after this video. And it's two years already

I started a vegan diet a week ago and I can finally BREATHE! I didn’t realize the dairy I was eating caused my nasal congestion. My face was always swollen and couldn’t breathe through my nose. All those problems are completely gone. I have so much energy now 😱

Vegan for 6 months now. Best decision physically and mentally i've ever made. Truly so amazing.

As a cancer researcher, I am very glad to see you correctly referencing and interpreting peer-reviewed studies.

Vegan for 4 months - lost 10kgs (now normal bmi), cleared up pimples and severe eczema, loads of energy, feel fantastic, haven't been sick at all or had a migraine, periods are much lighter and less painful (I have endometriosis), super regular bowel..... the benefits just go on and on. And all this happened eating like a queen! Yum yum!

I've been vegan for only a little over 3 months and have lost about 15-20 pounds, hope that motivates some of y'all struggling.

What i've learned in 3 years as a vegan: - make sure to eat a BIG VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FOODS - Try to get protein from beans, lentils, peas etc and not only soy - drink enough water - exercise regularly - try to eat only a small amount of processed food (most things can be home made easily, such as plantmilk or seitan) - get your fats in (variety of nuts, avocado, seeds) - make sure you eat ENOUGH CALORIES!! undereating can lead to a skinny-fat physique and tiredness. - eat intuitively Good luck💪🐤💕🍃

Watched Earthlings today... made a decision to never eat dead flesh again. I know to much to be ignorant at the animal cruelty involved in the food industry. Day 1 of my vegan transition, wish me luck

Gave up milk products and lost 10 lbs without trying.

been vegan for a week. i thought id be craving old food i liked like chicken and cheese but even smelling it makes me nauseous now lol. hopefully the rest of my journey is smooth

I am brazilian, we eat beens twice a day almost every day... U will be fine

I'm 100 % vegan and I am loving every moment of it. Who else is vegan and enjoying life?

Great stuff mate. I'm a vegan for a long time and since going vegan I have more energy and am healthy. Never going back to eating my animal friends.

Vegan for 14 years :) Went vegan when I was 19, now I`m 33. People always envy my figure and "that I can eat whatever and as much as I want". I went vegan for the animals and not having to worry about my health and figure is just a plus on the side. Going vegan was (and I think always will be) the best decision of my life!

Who wants to start the journey of veganism into the 2020 year with me?

vegan for almost a year now, used to have PCOS and diabetes. now I have nothing perfect health and lost about 50 pounds

FINALLLY! a vegan youtuber who promotes their veganism with evidence based on clinical studies and information from sources written by credible authors, instead of vegan "certified health coaches" making radical changes to their diet based on their feelings

I started being a vegan on 3rd January 2020, not because of a sudden love for animals but I have cardiovascular disease and had my first heart attack and stent at 36yo, 2 more stents since then, I am now 54. I struggled with weight loss since then but since moving to this diet, it hasn't been an issue, it comes off even without exercise. My blood pressure changed from 158/120 to 107/67 in the first week and medication strength halved in that time. To think food is the reason for all these problems still amazes me. Thanks for the positive motivation to continue Mic!!!

"Beans beans the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel, so eat your beans at every meal." :) Thank you for your videos. I recently went vegan and I'm just trying to gather as much information that I can. Your videos are very helpful! :-)

I'm a vegan for month and half now and this is the best decision I made in my entire life 😊💚🙏🍀 Thanks for sharing💪

January 6, 2018 will mark my one year Vegan anniversary! Have never felt better in my life. Went from having high cholesterol with risk of needing an artery bypass surgery at 200lb to 135lbs with barely any cholesterol & being the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. All achieved with eating plant based & exercising every day! I’ve never been happier than I am now! I wish I would have become Vegan sooner but I’m glad to have finally opened my eyes along with my mind. Best decision I’ve ever made!🌱💕

I became a vegan ( whole food plant based) because I was stricken with severe eczema. Not only did this diet heal me completely, I lost 17 pounds and also lost my allergies as well. I'm 60 years old, and this is the first time I've ever been at my ideal weight. I've maintained this for 3 years now, and the boon is, I eat as much as I want!

I am borderline obese. After bloating for the first two months of going vegan, I've shrunk and lost 1.1kg in two weeks, no exercise, just cronometering my meals. One vegan restaurant binge day bec I traveled 2hrs for it! My waist circumference remained the same, but my usually lymph-filled massive legs are tighter. It felt so different being able to feel muscle after skin and not bumpy, wobbly, lymph. My body fat % dropped 5%, my bp is 105/53 and hr 75. My depression and anxiety is less... deep? I find it easier to crawl out of. Now on month 4 and I'm slowly starting to add exercise back into the mix as I feel my body has adjusted to it's fuel source. Let me just say, dancing with knees that don't feel numb and painful at the same time is dope. Have I mentioned my lymph has calmed down?! That's probably the 1kg I've flushed out!

my dad just died of a hart attack so i went vegan. my ibs is gone and i'm down 20lbs. i liked that you talked about the blood running better

This is definitely extremely helpful for me with gaining knowledge on veganism. Because of this video, I am 100% sure that becoming vegan is something I want to introduce in my life.

I’m a type 1 diabetic, and I’m obese. I went vegan one month ago, and my sugars are so much easier to control now. My insulin resistance is gone.

I've been vegan going on two weeks already lost five lbs and I feel great. More energy and no stress compared to keto always worrying about the hormones in meat and crazy calorie counting. This is definitely a life changing experience I plan to keep

Okat that's weird. Because of this video i went vegan and it has been 3 days and my FACIAL RED AND SCALY SKIN HAS COMPLETELY HEALED (facial seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis) Also I have been super happy and calm for the last 3 days, no more anger, suicidal depression and panic attacks. My parents are happy as hell for me. We are talking normally again, This changed my life.

I recently went vegan after I was hospitalized four times for a fatty liver & gallstones this was back in January 4, 2017 I was weighing around 200lbs.... It's now February I'm down too 183lbs :D which is pretty freaking exciting. I can honestly say going vegan was the best decision of my life.

Why non-vegans hate vegans so much? You can't leave us alone in peace just like you can't leave animals alone

I haven’t eaten meat in almost 4 years but dairy has been such a struggle to cut out totally.... I’m determined now- No dairy!!!

Yay! Happy vegan here for 23 years!

been vegan for a year 💪

Hi veganbuddies, this is my first day of living the vegan lifestyle. I became a vegetarian a few months ago, but i decided to become vegan. For sooo many reasons. I just finished my first day and i am very curious to how my body will react to this. I have been eating unhealthy for such a long time.. my body deserves good healthy food. Anyone else on their vegan journey, good luck!

Vegan for 14 years now, healthy and loving it.

Yes! I just got done watching "Forks over Knives," and this is my dessert. Thanks, Mic!

Nothing wrong with a good fart.

In my first week of veganism I literally farted every 30 minutes

Went vegan 3 1/2 years ago and the health benefits just keep coming! We lost weight, our cholesterol and blood pressures fell, sleep better..better everything. I just found your channel today from the interview you did with Chris at Plant Chompers. I'm excited to look at your content. This video is awesome!

you should do a "what i eat in a day", that would be cool!

Pre Vegan; heart palpitations leading to a heart attack aged 30, high cholesterol and blood pressure, type 2 diabetic, IBS, PCOS, severe headaches, rapid mental health cycling, cystic acne & Rosacea... Post 1 year Vegan; no heart palpitations, low to normal cholesterol and blood pressure levels, normal blood sugar with no diabetes symptoms, no IBS, little to none PCOS symptoms, only ever had headache when dehydrated, mental health is clearer and more stable, no cystic acne and Rosacea has improved dramatically The only major issue I still have is my weight, but that is something I have struggled with my entire life. I have leaks and troughs but am getting there slowly. I also developed a B12 deficiency so remember to supplement peeps!

What if I told you there is no vegan food. There's just plant foods and animal foods.

Been vegan for while. Then my family brought some veggie pizza (no meat, still dairy). I ate it, and my stomach wouldn't stop gurgling, and I felt a little sick

I'm on day 7 vegan. It's not easy, but I definitely feel better

I have been on a vegan diet for 2 months now. Never had gas issues and I actually went from 95kg to 75kg which is my ideal weight... Best decision of my life, feels good to be alive baby.

I've been vegan for 3 years! I've never felt so connected with the Earth and animals.

I lost 60lbs in 2.5 months being Vegan and intermittent fasting combined. While running, and doing yoga once a week each. I have never felt better

on a somewhat vegan diet my father at 6' 0" went from 250lbs to 180lbs.

Yesterday, I started my journey to become a vegan. I'm taking baby steps to achieve it. I have stopped eating all meats except for eggs and fish but eventually, I will remove any diary products and all meats . Today, my parents thought I was crazy for doing this and said that I was going to be skinny and I won't see any muscle gains from lifting. This honestly irritated me so much ( I eat about 200 grams of protein). Now, I'm trying to find a new support system than can actually help me achieve this new goal. I'm subscribing to RU-vid channels that promote veganism. The Journey has just begun!

This was exactly the kind of video i was looking for, with all the references to medical studies. Thank you.

The age at which a person transitions to vegan affects your overall reaction to it. With me, I was mostly vegetarian for years but then I'd slip up and revert to eating meat because I could not adequately explain to my family why I was being in their words "so difficult". But reverting even though I refused dairy as dairy makes my joints scream in pain, on this I would not budge and as my husband would try vegan ice cream and figured it was not all bad, he conceded. After his cancer surgery, I asked him, "Doing it your way got you cancer, and if you don't change at least some of what you do, you can pretty well figure that cancer will attack another organ." (He had prostate cancer). When I cook, he eats vegan at home as I won't cook meat. I won't eat it when I am out, getting serious about it, I lost 55 lbs., all without being hungry ever. But I did have such frequent BMs that getting sore was an issue. This lasted for about 2 weeks and had I taken pro and prebiotics, would have lasted less time. Now I make it a habit to eat fermented foods like sauerkraut 2 or more times a week. No more problems except from beans. What I have noticed that when I eat cooked pintos and rice at the same meal, I do not have gas, before it was embarrassing to say the least. But I was determined. My friends all tell me how much better and younger I look and how much nicer my skin is. My husband had lost 45 lbs. (so he says) but whereas I went from a size 18 to a size 8 to 10 in ladies' jeans, he is still wearing most of his old pants. But I was like 65 lbs to 70 lbs. overweight and he was like a 100+ lbs. overweight. But it is when we eat out that he will not behave himself and he has really stalled his weight loss if he is losing at all. All I can say is that when you do the research for one's self instead of being nagged into it, you get better results. If I died tomorrow, our kids could expect their father to eat himself to death within 3 months. I believe in doing this for my health as at my same age, my mother and sister were dying of breast cancer and my father and grandmother where getting Alzheimer's disease. Gee, eating Vegan isn't bad and I am not forgetful to the extent that is anymore than other people I have known. My blood glucose A1C is 51, my BP is 104/66, my cholesterol is down within normal range, actually the low normal now. If you "own" your veganism, you will get the best results, you will be able to figure out how to order at restaurants and what you can eat and not feel tempted. You just have to know that you don't have to visit your former body parts in the hospital medical waste site. And you won't live out your days in diapers and not knowing even how to write your own name. Is this not worth eating Vegan? If you think not, are you not seriously addicted and acting contrary to your own best interest? I grew a backbone past age 65 so if I can do this, anyone can.

"Beans beans.. 3% of you might fart more for a couple days, but then life will be better" ...Definitely not a playground hit 😂😂😂

I really like that leaf decoration in the background 🤣🍃

Who wants to start the journey of veganism into the 2021 year with me?

Black Beans will most likely be your best friend.

Lel, gained weight going vegan cuz the food is so good..

Vegan for 3 years now, loving it ^^

Facts and remember if you’re looking to gain weight well-being or starting a vegan diet you can still gain weight it’s all about your calorie intake in the day

Went vegan at the beginning of 2018 and never looked back. I lost 55 lbs (I also started exercising and cut out processed food and sugar, but not carbs. I do love rice, potatoes or whole grain bread) and feel like I eat more and a bigger variety of foods than ever before. :D

I'm pretty young, but I've chosen to be vegan. My family actually wasn't sure at first but now are fine with it. Many people where surprised because I went totally vegan overnight. I love being veagan and it was very easy for me to change. I consider myself lucky because it was so easy for me and I actually care about staying vegan now

Need to ditch the French fries, frosted cookies and corn chips :'(

Legit content. Veteran vegan here for 10 years. Videos like this is what we need, instead of the silly drama. Content like this reflects well on a the vegan diet.

Just wanted to say "Thank You" for all your videos. My diet has gradually been working towards vegan for several years, and most people are skeptical or critical of this decision. It's nice to hear/see positive reinforcement & support. 💚

I haven’t eat meat in 13 days. I have been suffering for years of lower back pain. This pain is vanishing and I am not taking pills for the pain. It’s amazing. I don’t know if this is related to the change of diet, but I won’t eat meat again in a long long time.

I have had asthma for 16 years.The asthma effected me to some level all the time. I have been on a vegan diet for 2 weeks now. I now have no asthma symptoms. My digestive system is so much better. My blood sugars is coming down and I'm loosing weight. This has changed my life profoundly. My doctor asked if he could tell his other patients about me. Oh yeah and the food is great.

I was 215 pounds, have had major surgeries on my knee and foot. I needed to lose weight to take pressure off my joints. Initially went vegetarian 6 months ago, went vegan last month. I’ve lost close to 50 pounds on a healthier diet and minimal exercise. Mentally I feel much better, no more guilt about what we consume. Without videos like yours or Earthling Ed I don’t know if I would’ve ever changed my diet. Thank you for your work, it’s not in vain and changes are happening.

I’ve been vegan for four months now and man, I’ve lost like 56 pounds, I have a weird amount of energy and my anxiety is basically gone. I did have a weird hormonal imbalance which affected my period but that leveled out, and I had acne for awhile but that stopped too

I've been vegan for 3 days now

i am vegan now for over 2weeks, and i feel brilliant, of course a lot of gas , but i feel that my body clean itself, like a new human being, peace , thank for video 💕💯

I went Vegan on June 2018 & I have never had more energy & I even lost 52lbs. I try to stay away from the processed Vegan foods because they can be high in calories.💚

I started this month. I'm never feel so great like that. All the pain in my body is gone. And my boyfriend is trying also. He fells amazing.

i need to quit with ma junkfood vejanism.

Thanks for taking the time to make well researched, quality content.

Thank you a million times for always backing it up with research!!

Science based, evidence based information, well done :)

was vegetarian for 2 years and have now been vegan for about a week and i already feel great!

I haven't been sick in three years, which is how long I've been vegan. I used to get sick often (2-3 times a year). And then I find out many other vegan have the same experience. Coincidence? I think not.

Thanks for waking us up and doing your research I needed to to hear this so now I will start making the changes. Thanks for sharing!!

Right after I went vegan, I'd been able to maintain a very aggresive caloric deficit (with all the cautions with micronutrients) because of the high-fiber whole foods and lose about 50 lbs in just 4 MONTHS. Of course I've lost a lot of muscle, but I don't care, I was feeling like shit with my previous diet. Of course it's not strictly related to turning vegan, but it's a lot EASIER to be healthy with this type of lifestyle. PD: Sorry about the grammar mistakes, it's not my main language xD

Vegetarian for 4 years, vegan for 3 years now! Since I was 12! 😊

PRO TIP: Wash & Rinse BEANS/LENTILS Before You eat them! The Starchy Water makes You Fart!

Thank you 😭. Needed this so much to help make the commitment

Thank you, I started my vegan journey around a month ago and I am feeling great. Though all my friends and family think I lost my mind lol

Vegan = the future. Do it, bitches.

Vegan in 2018? Me 🤗

I’m tryin! Day 4 of going vegan. Wish me luck!

I have been vegan for 8 weeks and combined with intermittent fasting and training, have lost 8kgs and feel awesome. I did need to supplement my diet with plant derived protein to keep my strength up.

Vegan food is actually pretty delicious 😋

good work, when putting benefits of veganism in perspective, it becomes very hard to find any logical arguments against it!

This was the best video I’ve seen yet. Research, clips of pop culture, corny jokes. It really is perfect. Good job Mic.

I've eaten plantbased for years. But a couple of times I had a cup of coffee and ocassionally a slice of (not vegan) cake and I got inflammation of the joints each time, the day after. I think non vegan foods cause severe inflammation.

I've lost 10kg on 3 months on a vegan diet. I was quite overweight, it's necessary to clarify that. I don't restrain myself eating AT ALL. I eat stews, omelettes, chilis, quinoa, etc. I'm a big eater yet i lost so much weight and a lot of aspects in my health have improved

i actually poop 5-6 times per day though 😂no problem with that cuz i love the feeling of empty colon after pooping keep up the great work 🙌🙌

Really appreciate your academic, evidential approach! Thanks so much!!

I've been vegan for over 5 years already and it's the best I've done in my life! You won't regret it! Good plant based diet, exercise, enough sleep, meditation along cold showers every day... well I don't even remember last time I was sick, not even a cold at all!

forks over knives got me to go plant based, Mic. the Vegan converted me to a vegan! Thank you for lifting my meat blindness, becoming a vegan has made me a more compassionate person. I CURED my anxiety, drastically reduced the severity of my ADHD and have increased my energy. I now cook a Vegan diet for me and my boyfriend, my parents are vegan 6 days week, my little cousin who is 11 became a vegan and now her parents are trying to be mostly "plant based." ****YOU are changing the world***** not only changing our individual health, but making a global difference one person at a time!!! I love this channel so much because of the scientific basis to ALL of your arguments. Your passion becomes more powerful because it is not unfounded rhetoric. You have the perfect pairing of reason and fervor.

Best decision I’ve ever made! Since going vegan, I have more energy, never been sick yet, no sinus congestion, skin is much smoother, stool is regular (at least twice a day), and interestingly, I enjoy and appreciate food sooo much more. Most importantly, my mood and clarity of mind have improved significantly.

Thanks for making this outstanding and inspiring video. I'm 75 and just starting a vegan diet two days ago after watching Dr. Esselstyn videos and eating too much dairy and pasta. At my age, this diet just made me skinny fat even though I worked out consistently and rode an exercise bike daily, and consumed whey protein powder. This video has shown me more reasons to eat a plant based diet for the rest of my life. I was a lacto ovo vegetarian for 7 years in the 1970s but didn't do it right. From everything I've seen and read of late, I've no doubt a vegan diet is superior, and the food choices today are abundant compared to decades ago. I see going on a vegan diet as an opportunity for renewal and a culinary adventure.

Thanks for your informative video and all the work you put into the research.
