I Went Vegan for 30 Days: Here's What Happened to Me 

Try nootropics! I tested living vegan for 6 months and veggie for 1 year now. It's about health and functionality, not ideology. Obviously, resources and cooking skills + planet.

Nathaniel Drew try thirty days of the keto diet next :) running your brain on ketones instead of glucose, see if your brain and body likes ketones better!

Join the Mexican Cartel for 30 days and give us your thoughts on it!!!😂

@@adrianoplaysguitar Please don't promote the keto died, it's very dangerous for one's health. You could consider the studies mentioned in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kzb0AsnSB-o.html

I'm going vegetarian rn for the ethical and environmental reasons, and maybe vegan down the line who knows 👀😂

You inspired me

Speaking of supplements - do you take B12? I heard from this long termp plant based doc that he never supplemented and never had any issues - nor his blood tests showed any issues. Studying "the holy fathers" (hermits) I see they had no health issues without supplements (quite the contrary, fasting and eating plant based is healing it seems) - I've never witnessed issues personally.

@Trinmigular shrobatorli I would definitely try becoming vegan. It has positively changed my life in so many ways and I'm beyond happy that I made that decision. :)

@Trinmigular shrobatorli no, just cut down meat. If you're not able to do that, consume meat once in 2-3 months. If doing so, you'll really help both, your guts and environment 🤗😃

Yeah because you're VEGETARIAN, quite different from a vegan... You can still eat foods that have actual nutrients in them

Well said! I'm really thinking of going vegan, baby steps.

Yay millions of sick people!

@@Blue123413 me too, I still struggle letting go of milk-chocolate X)

You need some cholesterol in your diet, long term vegans start experiencing plenty of health issues due to not consuming enough cholesterol as well as many other nutrients

Social Stoic vegans do get enough cholesterol because we make our own cholesterol already. LDL (a form of cholesterol) is present in all dairy and animal products which clogs your arteries.

@@TheIbPROfiend LDL is something your body makes, not something you are digesting from food

My cholesterol levels shot sky high being a vegan. Most especially my triglycerides.

me too!

Victoria Budke great to hear 💚

I think both industries are flawed whether they make plant or meat products . Animals are treated with antibiotics and are fed enormously and plants are being sprayed with preparations and chemicals . I think we should be all taught in school how to take care and eat both plants and animals and make our own products .

Slav Kafegiev Then most people wouldn’t eat animals, because I’m sure 90% doesn’t have the guts to kill an animal for food. Killing an animal is very different from buying it from a supermarket and it’s a really intense, confronting experience. Watch videos of reporters going to slaughterhouses and you’ll see what it’s like, totally not fun.

@@JustinRM20 I know I've seen how they do it . But that doesn't matter . The thing is we should eat quality food . That way whoever wants to eat meat can do it properly and more morally . Not to mention it's important skill everyone should know . Not everyone to be forced to practice it but to have an idea of how to do it cuz the population should be able to feed itself if has to .

This is soooooooooooooooo common, I am surprised when I don't hear it. : )

@@tamcon72 Same! :)

@@tamcon72 Well surprise then, I'm a recovering ex vegan who only now realizes I had no idea what feeling healthy really was.

@@overlit5597 If you wouldn't mind--there is preponderance of new avatars at vegan YT writing exactly this sort of comment without any further explanation and they are therefore suspicious--please describe your plant-based diet in detail, including duration and any specific dietary regimens using only plants that you tried, and for how long in each case. Thanks!

@@tamcon72 I'm not a new account, and this isn't vegan YT. As hard as it is to believe, that means you might come across honest accounts supporting both sides, rather than just confirmation bias from vegans, and hate from anonymous meat eaters, like you would on vegan YT. I was also meticulous about my diet, at 20%,60%,20% (having tried a few other ratios). Main carb sources were whole grains, sweet potatoes and legumes, I usually avoided nightshades and supplemented hemp protein. 2500kcal a day. I felt "clean" if not entirely 100% during the first 6mo to a year, then steadily felt more anemic. After that I supplemented some B12 (inb4 "you were never vegan), and it helped. But after well over a year, I decided it wasn't worth it and went pescatarian. Now I don't restrict any types of meat, though I only eat grass fed red meat. And I finally feel like my whole self again!

Same here. I used to be the biggest anti-vegan but now I wouldn't go back to eating meat!

Yesss!!!

cowspiracy is incredible too

I am always eating eggs for breakfast, what can I use instead if there is no dairy included? :)

@@JustinRM20 Vegans are not healthier, stop saying that, a lot of them eat vegan process food.

@Ello someone like that who is allergic to pretty much everything is a huge exception u do realize that right? Most people aren't allergic to everything.

people dont ever get better. Because if they did they wouldnt be stuck to a restrictive diet. people can still go back to eating meat and be fine.

Veganism made my brain fog worse 🤷🏻‍♀️

likhi p I was vegetarian (and vegan for several months) for a year and a half and recently stopped and started eating meat again. It has helped my digestion and bloating ☺️ but I would go vegan or vegetarian again.

Sometimes but IMO if you have good quality free range meat it doesn't need many external flavors. Free range grass fed beef is heavenly

@@Wyatt_Riley You eat only free range?

likhi p try being vegan in an omnivore family, I have to literally come up with scraps as they don’t buy literally anything vegan every night I have to make my own dinner after they have theirs it’s just unbelievably difficult.

@Anonymous wow do you have any specifications? I feel like I’ve been getting more pimples since I went vegan. And about the weight, I actually lost a lot and I have to gain around 13 kilograms, but that’s not on veganism, since going vegan I just dropped 2 kilograms

@Anonymous dairy is really fattening i felt i gained so much weight with dairy, i cut it out i do have plant based daiya cheese but i don't eat it everyday

@Anonymous thanks, I did thought of getting pimples as a part of a “cleansing process” but I’ve also heard that vitamin B12 can make you get pimples. But I’ve been feeling better than before, I’m young but due to flexibility I have knee problems, and my knees hurt less now that I’m vegan. And it’s been so so long since I last ate something processed because I avoid buying anything that comes in plastic or metal

@Anonymous and I almost always have fruit for breakfast, but I’m not into fasting and, I really need to gain around 10 kg

@Anonymous greek yoghurt is the only thing that stops me from being vegan i have it in my oatmeal and smoothies everyday. what are good plant based sources of protein?

It's the spices

Damn straight. Mexican food is renowned by millions for using beans and legumes as the main source of protein. It's a very healthy source of protein, AND it's got plenty of fibre. Also doesn't come from other animals 😉

@ZDProletariat Originally we didn't have cows in Mexico. Colonized diets are unhealthy.

@ Brenda "even"??????????

Definitely 👍

You can (and should) also appreciate the animal from which the meat came. Or, show a deeper appreciation of the animals by not paying for them to die for meat, that's where veganism comes in

appreciating your food doesnt do shit lmfao

@@kissarmin7130 That's what I was thinking. You need to make adjustments to make sure that your diet is sustainable and ethical. The best thing one can do is to adopt a vegan diet.

kelperdude it really doesnt help anyone if they understand and appreciate that animals suffer and die for meat. They need to change also

@@amnesia998 no, you can't

@@thelifeofelvis5962 enlighten me, smartass

It's funny because I feel the same way about the trillions upon trillions of insects annihilated every yr through farming. Anyone who says cows and pigs are special but bugs and other animal life dont count are nothing but a bunch of animal racists. All life is precious. And it's all part of one ecosystem. No species is better or "higher" than any other. Even plants are living things. I also dont buy the argument that it's ok to kill something as long as it can't feel pain or not intelligent enough to process what's going on. Does that mean that it's ok to kill someone in a coma because they can't feel it? It is alright to kill the mentally retarded because they dont understand? The only real answer is that we are extinguishing another life form, plain and simple. Having tried veganism twice myself, I came to the conclusion that in order to sustain life, we must take life whether we're eating meat or veg. The unpleasant truth that many ppl are unwilling to acknowledge is that we are evolved to be killers. I've since gone back to eating the way our ancient ancestors did. I believe if the Native Americans could kill stuff for food while still living in balance with nature, then so can we. Countries like France and Spain seem to be able to produce high quality meat without wrecking their environment. It can be done. If it makes you feel any better, 30 yrs from now, most of the meat in the world will be lab grown. Synthetic meat, created from plant matter (like the Impossible Food corporation is making now), is most likely, the future of food. Have a good day

Same!!

@@menthy That just sounds bad, eating food that is synthetically made. I think the best form of eating meat would be hunting since in order to hunt you have pay certain dues which go back to the environment.

@@cagan8 Yes you may be right. But i doubt we can go back to living like the Native Americans 1,000 yrs ago. Huge investment money is already being spent to development lab grown foods. Meat proteins are being replicated on a molecular level. No more of that clumsy old meat substitute stuff that doesn't even taste like meat. The new lab grown meat may even possibly be healthier than real meat since the materials to create it come from plants like spinach. Time will tell

Why vegan and not just vegetarian?

See its stuff like that. YOu did it in a healthy way too not jsut sweets and bread and vegan junk food. Congrats.

Happy for you dear

That's crazy yo. I've had Crohn's since I was a 3 year old child and I've had my highs and lows,and although since going vegan I haven't really had a single flare up I have some bouts of being unwell. Of course,when unwell I go low fiber and recover best I could like I did before going vegan but it hasn't worked for me that well. Some of my trigger foods were eliminated so it helped but,just like any other patient. So happy for you though!

@@brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap You got it the other way around. I switched to vegan food 6 weeks ago and have lost 2 kg without changing any portions or exercise habits (very few 😭😅 and it was also not my intention to lose weight) but I have never eaten more (and more guilt-free) in my life. Vegetables, whole grains, fruits and nuts are naturally low in saturated (!) fat. Especially switching to whole grains (whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta) has completely taken away my urge for snacks between meals and that is a huge unintended change. You feel fuller, longer. I haven’t felt hungry at any point 👋🏻

What to buy for just a meal or two, I'll switch those around till I get an idea of really know what is going on!!! Noone will help me!!!:(:(

Tasha Gross idk if you’re picky or not but if you like veggies you can always make a loaded veggie salad with Italian dressing! There are quite a few other vegan dressings too just make sure you always check the ingredients! :) also a lot of pasta is vegan but there are also chickpea based pastas, lentil based, etc. Plus marinara is usually always vegan too! Burrito bowls are a go to, brown rice, black or pinto beans, lettuce/cilantro, tomato, corn, salsa, lime, you can pretty much add whatever and get creative! Beans are packed with protein and it’s pretty inexpensive to make as well :) one more really good one is homemade tomato soup, if you have a blender you can just get some canned or fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, cook them in the oven or on the stove and throw it all in a blender then back on the stove again, served with salad or grilled cheese is my favorite but vegan alternatives tend to be pretty expensive so just be careful! I hope this helps! :) sorry if it’s super long haha

Keep going !!! I started to be a vegetarian at 18 and 28 years later I became a vegan.. now for 20 years. My 3 siblings see how healthy I am and are trying to switch over now.

swamiraj C thats so cool!

That's honestly so cool

Indians actually have a rare ability to process vegetables, as they are 100 generations deep in vegetarian based diet. Nearly everyone else doesn't have this DNA, and veganism can be harmful to certain people. Humans have been consuming meat for 20 million years. Veganism has existed as long as computers. So some of us can eat just meat and be healthy, while others just vegetables and fruit.

Source? I don't think only 40% are vegetarian, the no is should be higher

@PaleDale Oh no only 2.6 million years. It was just enough time for our brains to get bigger from using our intellect to hunt and fish. If you aren't smart enough to figure out that meat eating is what separates us from the apes, you might be vegan.

Francesca Pessarelli that’s why I love it too, I feel so proud to be vegan and I love how I feel.

Yep me too! I love being vegan. It has only been a year for me, my SO, my sibling but we feel amazing! Vegan for life for the animals, my health, the planet, other humans! It has taught me to be more compassionate and empathetic towards all living beings ... yes all including the ones who swear at us for being vegan. Oh boy. :)

How! I find it so hard. What kept u motivated?

@@marisellopez6022 Great question! Firstly, take it slow when you transition so you get used to the changes you are making. Maybe go vegetarian or pescatarian first before going vegan. And to be honest with you, generally, you only need that motivating push the first couple of months of going vegan. After you push through the initial transitioning period, it becomes second nature. The things that really helped me stay motivated are - 1. Getting excited about trying out vegan recipes. I love cooking so I tried to focus on the food that I get to eat on a vegan diet rather than what I cannot. If you miss the taste of meat, try some good vegan mock meat! There are so many recipes and great tasting vegan alternatives out there nowadays. 2. GET PREPARED FOR SOCIAL DINING. This is the most awkward and demotivating part, people you once ate meat with now dining with the new you, the vegan you. Try doing some research on the menu of the restaurant you will visit to see what vegan options they have and what can be veganized. If it is a house party, bring your own food and make sure it's not a boring salad! BUT it is something you actually really enjoy :) and LASTLY, if it becomes extremely hard for you to stay motivated, rewatch the documentaries, podcasts or youtube videos highlighting Why you should go vegan. Remind yourself of the reasons, the ethical environmental and health-related reasons that got you motivated in the first place. Hope this helps!

Try carnivore.

I became orthorectic due tue raw veganism - after my initial junk food vegan months. What a mess! Now I am recovered and a happy healthy normal vegan. 5 years.

raw vegan experiment was one of the worst decisions of my life. messed up my health. humans cook food, period.

Sorry to all the onions out there but I‘m just not compassionate about them so I‘ll probably never go frutarian

@clariboia anal wrong, ive seen videos of vegan youtubers telling you to not go raw vegan or fruitarian years ago, way before this ex vegan bullshit. There are videos debunking the diet and how it is inherently nutrient defeicient.

clariboia anal not really, there are plenty of successful vegan youtubers who have been vegan for 10+ years-they just never did extreme diets.

agreed, raw vegan is extremely unhealthy. source, I tried it for months (not perfectly as I was starving) and messed up my health

@Jake S true. But I don't think the body absorbs nutrients very well on raw food. Even if you're hitting your percentages.

@clariboia anal perhaps, but to each their own. I'm keeping cooked vegetables and feel great after them. not willing to experiment anymore. ever.

Did that for a while. Lost a lot of weight, and for a while was sleeping 3 hours a night. I'd still wake up refreshed and ready to go. While I think it's a good way to go for a while, I would not recommend it as a lifestyle. And yes, a lot of enthusiasts are quite bonkers. Those I followed for a while pretty much all ended up leaving, or selling blenders on TV.

LOTS of plants are harmful without some degree of processing (e.g. oxalate, lectin) because that's how they've survived. Raw veganism is pretty much a cult religion for masochists.

James Ingham raw veganism is perfectly fine if you have the time and resources to cook and prepare meals- in fact it’s a lot healthier. The possible reason for your belief that it is harmful is simply because it requires a considerably larger amount of effort to be a sustainable diet; thus making it discouraging, not unhealthy.

Raw is unnecessarily restrictive and expensive and worse for the environment. It's important to eat raw fruit and veggies, but it doesn't need to be the only thing you eat.

luiseick DISCLAIMER!!!!! Meat is also supplemented with b12(large scale farmed meat)!!!! B12 comes from bacteria, so untreated water and unwashed veggies automatically have b12, but that's unpractical. So either u pay someone to feed b12 supplements to livestock then eat it or you take it directly. Theirs two proven strains of bacteria(that I know) in our gut that produces b12 where we can actually absorb it, BUT u have to have great bacterial diversity in your gut; don't take the risk and take supplement. 40% of Americans take supplements any ways,

@@x_x_6__ farmers market, local farmer, or a simple grocery store. Cause latter would do more harm to be vegan then to be carnivore.

@@Salamaleikum80 How does buying vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts and other plant-based foods from a supermarket is more bad than eating only meat?

@@user-lz7oy7st3p depends on what cause you want to achieve. If it's about the environment, then supporting agraculture and pesticide usage is doing more harm then the co2 production of animals. But if you want do it for ethical reason(no killing) then sure vegan would be good. The thing vegans usually go from one harm to another. There are only two ways to solve this problem 1. self sustain yourself with a permagarden(and also chickens if you want to eat eggs.) 2. buy groceries from good sources that use no pesticides. But if it comes from monoculture that will be nearly impossible. So choice 1 would be the only real way to help the environment. But the thing is it's totally unrealistic for most of the population to do that.

exactly it's a lifestyle

Its a cult.

If you look in the Bible, see Genesis 1:29 God gave Adam and Eve fruits, nuts, and grains to eat in the Garden of Eden. After they had sinned God included vegetables, see Genesis 3:18. In Heaven we will not eat meat, see Revelation 21:4, no death. It is clear God never intended for mankind to depend on animal flesh to sustain life. Many top athletes have gone vegan because a vegan diet greatly increases athletic performance and strength. Seventh-day Adventists on average live many years longer than average Americans because they shun tobacco products, alcoholic beverages and unclean meats. Many Seventh day Adventists are vegetarians and vegans.

@@maximilianraphael9853 Not exclusively for health. Do some more research on it, there's plenty of data explaining why it's a bad idea to never cook your food. A great channel that talks about it if you just wanna listen and not read is Mic the Vegan

Some foods are healthier raw some others don't, however first of all...clean the f vegetables 😂

The whole reason human societies have continued to heat their food is that there are tons of useful nutrients in your food that you can't process without heating it first. Raw veganism is absurd.

Best diet is a combination of cooked and raw. Cooking makes certain nutrients bioavailable that otherwise wouldn't be. But it also can destroy some nutrients that raw veggies contain. Too many dietary zealots out there taking sides (the whole reason vegans are widely hated in the first place) when both sides have valid arguments. I like to lightly cook my food.

You don't need to be vegan . That's just extreme . I see no point in restricting animal products just restricting meat from diet is enough . Sometimes it's healthier for people to stop eating meat but animal products in general are heathy.

Lucy Buehl how is it being vegan in Belize? My family is from Belize and I will prob visit in December for a family reunion but I’m scared since I just went vegan. I’ve always visited there before but as a meat eater. Belizean food is the bomb, so need help “veganising” the dishes.

quiaful I'm on Caye Caulker and produce variety is a challenge. The local red beans are great- I've designed a few simple recipes for a variety of legume, bean and grain salads that I keep on hand. Just do the local rice with some beans on a salad for lunch and dinner. The weather is hot so we eat cooler salads most days. If you in Belize city you'll have a greater variety of produce on hand. Look to get some quinoa- it's a grain that was the cornerstone of the Aztecs, easy to cook and keeps great in the refrigerator. My go to dressing for my salads is olive oil and either fresh lime juice , balsamic or apple cider vinegar. Always onions and garlic and fresh parsley and cilantro. Hope this helps!

Lucy Buehl awesome thanks so much! Will def stick to this when I go! I just started making quinoa and it’s awesome. Not sure that I would have been able to find it in Belize but this is promising. Thank you!

Go to Costco for quinoa- they carry an organic one in bulk very inexpensive- I'd bring some down with you because it's terribly expensive here.

Lucy Buehl ok yes I noticed it is kinda pricey in the grocery stores here so will go to Costco and look for it and take some with me when I go down to Belize.

I saw you comment before on his videos and I must say to you that I'm always happy to invest my time in watching your videos, great RANDOM content MilkShake!

@@Kingzzzyyy Yes I did it, Nathaniel is probably one of my favorite creator right now. Btw thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

Hey bro...how long have u been vegan?

4 years 5 months

@@consciousnobody grt...i have been for 4yrs...how is the experience so far? Did u lose any weight?

On a purely statistical level, that would be the best solution for the majority of the people because not everyone will go all or nothing for all kinds of reasons. So yeah people just should give it a shot instead of judging themselves too harshly because they didn't execute perfectly and quit forever.

@@Killzone626 exactly ^^. And there is a huge difference between eating meat once a week or every other meal. I try to tell people who like animal products to try to eat them when they really taste them (like fry the eggs and enjoy them, but try baking a vegan cake, because all the eggs and milk really dont do anything special and are easy to replace)

I agree with that, however with the state that the planet is currently in, we don't have time for people to slowly reduce their consumption of these products, going vegan is the single biggest thing anyone can do to reduce having a negative impact on the environment. Also, even if an animal is raised well, is there a nice way to kill someone who doesn't want to die?

@@lilithstorm7026 as i said, i have not eaten meat for a decade. I know why people do this. But people wont change overnight. Heck, the meat industry is still growing. We wont change people by trying to push them towards veganism. Believe me; in my 10 years of being the only vegetarian in my family amd friends i know this

@@couch_philosoph3325 That's great that you haven't eaten animal flesh in so long. I wish I had made that decision much sooner. I wouldn't say I "push" people towards veganism, but instead ask them questions to get them thinking with the hope that they will eventually come to their own ethical conclusion. Questions such as "Do you think it's normal that adult humans drink another species breast milk?" Or "Can you humanely slaughter someone who doesn't want to die" When I do this in person, it's normally because they started the conversation, not me, however I also do outreach based activism and have gotten many strangers to strongly consider going vegan as well as my closest friends. I've also got my parents to both go vegan and they're so much healthier for it. The reason I do this is because about two years ago I went on a whole foods plant based diet for health reasons and it improved my health so dramatically, I'm now mentally and physically so much better than I used to be and I want other people to know that this can seriously change their lives for the better. The other reason is that before going plant based, I did not care about what happened to animals in farms at all, I wouldn't allow myself to think much about it, but since I stopped consuming dead flesh and the secretions of animals who had been through hell, as well as all the antibiotics, pus, blood, faeces and so on, I began to become way more conscious of the animals and the planet. Consuming these things was holding me back from becoming aware of the truth and I think that's the same with most people. Here in the UK so many people are waking up and going vegan every single day.

Smartest comment ever to encounter on RU-vid

How do y know

ouch ...but true.some people in third world countries practice intermittent fasting without a choice

@The V word I feel sorry for you

@The V word You're pushing a rant about this making no logical sense at all. If you're so pumped about how vegans kill so many animals with their lifestyle then just go ahead and live a lifestyle that doesn't i.e. eat ground dirt and stones, or starve, with your level of politeness I don't think people are going to care about your rant or your diet. You're worse than religious homophobe propaganda, and more annoying.

@@brittvdb8739 that's not an argument, it seems like you don't know how to answer to that

@@anonhgj1422 I wasn't trying to argue? Obviously? Or else I would have answered differently?

@The V word oh sure the best way not to kill and rape animals is to kill and rape animals right 👍 Living animals eat food. We plant plants, feed them to the animals and eat the animals. In this process a lot of energy is "wasted" due to the upkeep of the animals. It is more environmentally conscious to directly consume the plants directly. And it is not necessary at all to consume animal products. The only, and the only thing is B12 which is supplemented for animals. Animals do not magically produce B12, it is supplemented for them. Therefore vegans just do the same thing when they supplement it, without making and extra step through the animal. Considering the argument of of buying local, it isn't sustainable if you take a look at our current meat consumption in the world. It just isn't the case and most people don't buy from local farms.

Are you an activist? 😊

Hi, I found these two websites helpful: - The first is a link to a Physicians Committee for plant based diets. It has lots professional and medical nutritional information for athletes, pregnant women, normal people, by physicians and dietitians licensed to practice in the U.S. Licensure is important! www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/plant-based-diets - The second contains a link to Challenge 22 + which is a Facebook group with registered dietitians and mentors who can help you. challenge22.com/ - Uh no I’m not a bot! I just like to be anonymous as vegans get attacked by others who do not eat a plant based diet or animal free lifestyle. Hope these help. Thanks.

Oh nice! Also I do hemp hearts and pea protein, lentils, legumes, beans. I've been building some serious muscle like no kidding! I actually have hamstrings for the first time in my life! Well I had them before but they were not the strong ones I have now that help with running!
