Reasons I'm NOT VEGAN anymore / ANIMAL FOODS are the way! 

When you realize “eco friendly” is economic not ecology.

The best video ever! I was vegan for 6 Years ! I mean, clean eating and home cooked meals ! I'd go out to eat at restaurants occasionally! But now I'm including meat in my diet and the first thing that I noticed is improved mental health! My anxiety symptoms are improving ! Omg ! I was really brain washed !

Finally someone touching base on the environmental effects of veganism VS regenerative local farming

They gaslight all the time calling you selfish when they’re the actual selfish ones

Congratulations On Reclaiming Your Health ☦️🍖

The best no longer vegan video I've ever seen. You explained very well the reasons why I quit veganism. Loved that guy saying he needs steak or else he gets anemia, that's what happened to me and no supplements or lentil plus vit c can make you strong enough to lift bags and take trash and do chores and stop napping during the day and grow your hair and nails fast. I was mostly vegetarian all of my life because of poverty and vegan for 4 years, during which I developed ovarian cysts and endometriosis and daily bleeding and my period was irregular. Liver has stopped the daily bleeding and many of the symptoms, my period is regular and I finally feel normal, I'm not always fatigued! Thank you for speaking about this! Much health to you!

Been vegan for 5 years and I'm really considering trying meat and eggs again just to see of I feel more energy again and have better mental clarity. Thanks for this video

Very good video…I was one of those spiritual vegan freaks…and now I feel so much better, so much more aligned ❤ exactly, Earth is a dense, experience, your soul has a body here that needs to be nourished! Every soul is infinite, the body, life itself is not..it is a cycle of life and seath

It's worth noting also that fruit sugar (fructose) is broken down by the body into two separate compounds. One of which interferes with the efficacy of your satiety hormones, meaning that your brain is impeded from telling you that you have eaten enough : fructose promotes overeating. It comes down to us from the time when fruit was available in small amounts only once a year so evolutionarily speaking, at that time of year when animal foods were becoming more scarce - herds moving on, flying South, going into hibernation - it was a survival advantage to glut on any available sugar, which the body will utilise for energy (The Randle cycle) in preference to fat.

Same. I was vegetarian for 25yrs, vegan for about half of that & raw vegan for 1year (until I ended up in the hospital w severe electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, vitamin & mineral deficiencies). Vegan works well for some people but I became extremely weak & ill the more “pure” I ate. Health gurus in the community kept telling me I was simply expelling toxins & told me to keep going & avoid western medicine (even though I was severely ill). A few years ago I finally let that lifestyle go & went full keto. I recovered quickly & dramatically (no longer keto but still eat meat). I still have issues absorbing iron & require periodic IV infusions, I think it is a result of the bowel damage done when I was raw vegan. Bottom line: listen to your body.

Wow. So many of these things didn’t even occur to me! We ve been vegan 2.5 years and I’ve noticed my children’s health not optimal. We live in Canada and it has never even occurred to me our food comes from all over the world. It is SO obvious now. I’m still super hesitant to eat animal foods, from being in the vegan community soo long( brainwashed ?? With ethics and health.. I need to research now) this has really opened my eyes. Thank you!

Plantifa is going to cancel you now.

Great video and looking forward to more videos from you. The way you speak, very concrete, straight to the point, balanced, educated - I'm really impressed :)

"Slave sludge" describes most vegan food perfectly

Veganism is a certified political ideology. Glad to see that he called out Plant Based News and Dr. Michael Greger. I find it hilarious that vegans will ignore the fact that animals are part of our ecosystems.

This is a fantastic video. I experienced the same thing as you. I got diverticulitis. Almost died. Now I’m 90% carnivore. I still oppose factory farming, donate to animal welfare groups and buy from regenerative small farms when I can.

Great way you put your points across and respectfully as we truly are all on the same side and healthy dialogue is important as what works for one won’t for another. Hope you have continued health as like you I’d still be vegan if my health never failed. Subscribed and look forward to follow your journey

This is an excellent video! You touched on so many points I've thought throughout the years but have never heard anyone publicize! And i totally had eczema while vegan (never had it in my life prior and didn't know wth it was when it showed up) and, ofcourse, as a vegan, I never thought to blame the diet bc thats a total sin! Now I've been an omnivore for a few years and I oddly have never had problems with eczema again. Thank you so much for posting!

It is worth noting that, while Hong Kong is the world's largest consumer of meat, per capita meat consumption has risen greatly there within the last 10-20 years (incidentally, its vegetable consumption has also risen, but still not as high as the global average). So the current high meat consumption is clearly not the main reason why current Hong Kong elderly people got themselves to the long-lived state they are currently in.

Listening to Freelee now, all I heard narcissistic shaming and emotional manipulation and abuse. Nothing like taking advice from someone who looks like their on the brink of starvation. She’s skin and bones and look at her shoulders.

Absolutely spot on! Brilliant way to summarise a balanced, honest perspective. Thanks for posting! 🙏🏻

Sending love to Estonia! So glad you are healthy now brother!

Thank you for this, it was a great presentation/healing story. Helped remove some scales from my eyes.

Wow...what a positive transformation! Thank you for sharing this. Ive been vegetarian/vegan off and on for 7 years and my health, looks, and mental well being have gone down the toilet. Im now just starting to incorporate animal products into my diet and am so looking forward to healing and better health. Thank you for sharing your story 💗 Edit: so much great nutritional info here. I wish i had known all this before. Im saving this video. This is so helpful

this is so far the most elaborate video on this topic i have ever seen. thank you for sharing your thoughts and your experiences.

Congratulations on your journey to actual health. God bless you!

never let vegans guilt trip you into eating a strict unhealthy diet, it is so not worth it.

I tried it back then, but my body wasnt havin' it. I researched and tried to keep going. Now, grass fed beef liver.......my eyesight improved...my skin became healthier.....my weight improved....it changed my life and I can n e v e r return. Goooood for you taking your life back!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Our biology doesn't allow us to go without meat. Edit: Vegan forget human is an animal too.

getting out of cult thinking is good. always be critically thinking

Veganism is not a cult. It's sad to see people jump the gun on that one. Not all vegans are created equal. Not all vegans are homogeneous in ideology and world view, so it is kinda funny to read some of the comments generalizing vegans. I'm not really appreciating the biased nature of your video, and your sources are not that credible. Basically, it is an anthropocentric view and disingenuous to not mention how destructive factory farming is. Anyways, I do appreciate that you're trying to have "healthy communication," but I don't see that in the comments section.

Thanks for being so honest and caring to help the rest of us. 😊

I wish i was never a vegan. 33 years on a vegan diet and i have irrepairable heslth damage. Im mourning that loas and all.....the deception. The truth is essential, its a moral requisite. I started eating animal products two months ago. It is what the human body requires.

Well done on getting back your health. Nicely presented video.

Amazing video. You summed it all up perfectly and your transformation in such a short space of time is impressive.

I think this is one of the best videos I've seen to date on the subject, well done.

"Malnourishment cult" is the best way to describe veganism. I've finally woken up and stopped after just over 3 years.

using animals is extremely ecological! horses and donkeys as cars, no need for oil! leather as clothing, no bangadeshi child labour, and meat as food, all organic and local for the whole world! and plants as seasonal and local, sounds amazing

Excellent video, thank you for sharing! On a side note: Vegans often suggest that veganism is similar to Christian Orthodox fast, to make veganism appealing to Christian Orthodox people/countries, and they even say that it’s the diet of Mount Athos, which makes veganism sound legit for people who really don’t know what they eat in Mount Athos. However this isn’t true, they are not vegan in Mount Athos, and as for the Christian Orthodox fast, a) it completely distorts its meaning, as it is a restriction of the diet for certain days that has a completely different meaning and it’s not a doctrine by itself and b) we can have honey, seafood, tarama which is (very nutritious) fish eggs and even fish some days. It’s also clear that Christian Orthodox fast does not want you to be malnourished. You are not supposed to fast if you are sick or breastfeeding. I believe it’s time for us people who come from a Christian Orthodox background to expose this distortion and finally clear this up.

Thanks for tge testimony homie Be safe and be well

I love this video. Congrats on your health, you look great!

Vegan gains has aged horribly his skin is so dull now

After 10 years as a vegan I was very thin, no fat on my body and very often hungry.

👏 Brilliant! Sir you are a very smart intelligent human being! This video should be aired on national television!!!

THANK YOU for sharing this

A common thread with serial killers was their "love" of animals.

Oof! 45 minutes about a carnist who went on a plant based diet for 3 years, didn’t know how to eat enough calories from the right foods and went back to consuming body parts and secretions. I had eczema my whole life and still suffer from it. I didn’t jump back on animals. I’m looking for an ethical healthy solution. There are no good reasons to take a sentient being’s life needlessly. Only excuses.

I noticed I was bloated a lot. After only a month of veganism. My hunger for meat and dairy was too much. After the cravings started. My body was slowly shutting down. I was so tired that I didn't have the energy to do a lot. And I'm a weightlifter, I noticed i was getting skinny fast. But not gaining muscle and not lifting heavier weights.

Well said and you showed one of my favourite books Nourishing Traditions! I have been recommending that to my clients for years. I was also a vegetarian/vegan for 20 years. I started eating meat again at the advice of an Ayurvedic doctor (no, an Ayurvedic diet is NOT a vegetarian diet - although most Ayurvedic practitioners are promoting it as such). I was very lucky and I KNOW what meat does for the human body because I experienced the difference first hand. So will many of these militant angry and misguided people. I hope they wake up before they do serious damage to themselves and the rest of us by supporting those Totalitarian psychopaths who are trying to ruin our world. (When Bill Gates started promoting veganism, that sealed it for me!) Learning about the cycle of sustainable farming and the necessity for animals to restore the earth, was the final convincing argument.

more people need to see this so they can take better care of themselves, ive never seen a healthy vegan on the internet.

I'm still confused about this. I did 2 years on vegan diet, and there were pros and cons of it. (However I did a lot of research first on what would be the best way to eat for a muscle head. Cause I saw many people handled this unwisely). My anxiety faded away after eating eggs again. But I also see now that I was getting a lot of benefit from some plants. I swear by leafy greens, fruit, nuts, seeds and avocados. I think I'll try those plants + 15 eggs a day. As I'm not a huge meat guy.

Glad you wake up and reclaim your health.

I can’t eat cows or pigs anymore. They’re such sweet animals and so affectionate and loving with vibrant personalities. I hold them to same level as horses. I occasionally eat fish, eggs and chicken still.

My journey with my health has been serious hell...love the background birds...it is still A Big mystery...but I'll figure it out...brilliant mind though! Feel the same ..

Excellent. Everyone will find their way out of veganism or plant based way of living. The cult is too deep and masked. Hopefully most wake up before permanent damage.

Im indian, do vegan for ritual purposes( not 365 days😂) But youre right! I hope i can find my own organic meat free pf antibiotics cause some people need it Dont kniw when that dayll come Btw If vegans say dairy not good for haemoglobin absorption in mornings...well we have buffaloes milk for iron instead of cows milk We even eat meat with lots of veggies and legumes I have even seen vegetarians having ovarian cancer and are obese questioning the longevity myth around plant based

I was thinking that why you speak about .XML whole time but then I got it! ECZEMA Greeting from your neighbour, Finland. Thanks for the good video!

" yeah but...but,but,but" ( the cult ) ......" Aaaaaa shut up " ( reason ). A HUGE congrats for your CLARITY!!!!! - definitely a carnivore side effect

Awesome video, everything is put so well and "digestible". I'm very happy for you with regaining your health.

humans aren't meant to be vegans hurts your health when you try it.

That s my boy, welcome back dude!!!

This should go viral!

The Best no longer vegan video ever! Very informative! Thanks Bro! :)

really great comprehensive video

So happy for you! I know this is the least important aspect of your diet change compared to your health - but I just have to say you look so much more masculine and attractive now in comparison to your vegan days, wow! I can only imagine how energized and clear headed you feel.

This is, BY FAR, the most HEALTH information packed video I have ever seen, and I have seen a LOT. You are a hero!

“Creating a mass of needy little bitches!” I’m using that one!

I'm glad you found back to health.

right on point

Well articulated. Thanks for this

This is why I'm not vegan, also I have 2 main reasons. 1. That Vegan Teacher 2. Too much of 1 thing is bad. And I do still eat vegetables just mainly meat.

Hi. I im doing a little research about The question, why some people Seem to thrive longer on a vegan diet. I have read a lot about The blood type diet, which Can have an explanaition to that question. In that theory blood type 0 thrive a lot better on meat than blood type A, who thrive better as a vegetarian. So for my little study would you reveal your bloodtype for me? Best regards Tina from Denmark.

This is a fantastic video. I will come back to it and use it for my own reference. Congratulations on your health journey.

Awesome video, glad you’re feeling healthy now!

Very informative you were digging a lot for the truth. Good for you buddy. Have a blessed day.

Thanks! Great video!

For years, I've attempted to have a long term plant based vegan diet. I've been vegetarian for 16+ years and I'm healthy. But I noticed that whenever I'd eat plant based vegan for more than a week, I started having a lot of issues...but especially gut issues such as constipation. I truly thought that a strict plant based vegan diet was the best and healthiest diet for us. But I've seen people who eat a vegan diet die from diseases that veganism claims it prevents. But then people who eat animal products regularly live to be in their 90's with no significant health problems.

Went to several vegetarian Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Many of them pretty tired up with some small Bhuddist temples. They found ways to imitate almost everything with soy. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, ham, ham it. The.food was good and tasty with a peaceful atmosphere. However why this obsession with imitating every form of meat with artificial coloring and flavoring? Would they loose all their clients if they dumped a pile of soy protein in a plate? Or if they shaped it as banana or pineapples instead? I decided to try the carnivore diet for 10 days to see if I would get gout or any nasty issues meat is supposed to give us. I am on day 8 and I am adding another 10 for sure. in the end, diets can heal not by what we add but by what we subtract. There is nothing wrong with some healthy soups and dishes straight from an organic garden behind the house. What I am looking for are foods with 1 or maybe 2 ingredients in them. Weight is dropping pretty good. Dropped 25 pounds recently on a non keto but low carb diet. Going for another push as i was not able to drop my abdominal fat that much. A buddy of mine cleared his pretty quickly even at 54 years old. Great post btw.

hi i found you through sharon selby and iguchi. love your stuff, may i ask you what you think about pulses? im healing my 3 year old. love what you said in your 2nd video, about the importance as a parent to have the knowledge and drive to heal them and be healthy

Same here, good for you man.

We're naturally omnivores anyway. For people who said apes could thrive by being vegan.... apes are omnivores, they eat insects and some species even eat other smaller animals. I respect if you wanna be vegan, but don't hate on people who quit for their health reasons.

Validating. A Chinese acupuncturist suggested I go vegan to help cure an illness. I can't eat meat, but agree farm animals can be good for ecology, if the farming is done right. I became severely, even dangerously anemic after a few months on a vegan diet. He also said don't eat too many raw veges or salads which I agree with -- too hard on the system. Although salads are supposed to be "healthy", they are actually not for some people. Imho, the Earth does not have a gender, although it's kind of like a "mother" to us. Please don't use demeaning, disrespectful terms for women and call the Earth "a sexy young woman" or an "old hag". The Earth is sacred and complex (and so are women).

Very good video. Thank you

Excellent video 👏🏼👏🏼

Congrats on claiming your health and mind back.

In India there is a lot of overconsumption, and lack of activity. They consume too much sugar.

Me too. Changed from vegan for the same reasons I went ethics driven vegan. Bravo! Thank you for the video.

Your video got me thinking: You know, I've never heard of any ADULT who has been 100% vegan their ENTIRE lives. Vegan most of their lives? Sure. Vegetarian their entire lives? Yes. But I've never heard of a PURELY adult vegan who never had any animal product (save for maybe their mother's breast milk). I've heard more stories of babies dying or getting sick of malnutrition because of a vegan diet.

Do you think they will let us know when Freelee dies of malnourishment?

Good for you angel! Glad your on the other side =) My family have always eaten a Mediterranean diet and Iv grown up to that aswell - So we usually just eat dairy occasionally and meat but its always been apart of our diet. I remember when the vegan trend became huge while I was younger I considered it - and my family would always say "We are all part of the food chain, you think if a lion saw a zebra its going to shake its hand and say hey dude lets be friends and eat grass together? No, its going to eat it. It needs food, and so do we. We live of the land, fruit, vegetables, animals. We need it just as much." It really made me look into how we do really need it! P.s (my great grandmother is in her 90's and is still super healthy, and her diet does consist of meat) BUT YAY! Your out of that 'cult' haha!!!! Much love xx

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful video, watched it all the way. I'm commenting because I think you made some fair points. I've been like 98% vegan for almost 3 years - not supplementing anything (apart from Calcium and B12 etc that's been already put in veg.milks) and not consuming much of the over-processed mock products, either. I've noticed my moods/well-being depends mostly on how much I exercise. Bloating (so basically inflammation in the gut) has been a thing of concern, though, so it kinda goes against the promise of vegan foods being super gut-friendly, even though they contain lots of anti-inflammatory stuff, so that's kinda confusing. During this time I haven't become a skeleton like quite a few vegans (not all tho) have. I think you did a great job when speaking pro-omnivore diet and went a bit psycho when going on the offensive against veganism (the cult talk, destruction of human species, horrible crop production(of which most goes for animal feed, y'know ofc) and showing some crazy people whom I've never even heard of). It's easy to attack on the extremes of some ideology, but being a bit more balanced could actually help the discussion/add value to your points. Mocking (Greta Thunberg) is also lame, that doesn't help you at all ;) I guess we agree that, as the health authorities and dietitians recommend - animal products can be on the menu, but at a much lesser extent than the average consumption is, in order to avoid bringing in their negative health effects (everything in moderation rule). I also agree that consuming such products as you showed can potentially be more natural (local, less processing and less steps to get to the plate) and even benefit the local ecosystem, given we reduce the intake far below current averages. However, in our current society, and especially in countries with denser populations than Estonia, the industry makes it really convenient to cross the line of sustainability/health/animal welfare towards the bad side. So basically this extremely intense industrial animal agriculture is on one side of the spectrum, and veganism is kind of the polar opposite reaction to that. Speaking of which one of those is better overall, I'd give it to veganism, given current planetary circumstances and trends I just spoke about. Veganism seems to have less negatives, not saying it doesn't have any. From a single human perspective, the local omnivore (with lots of plants) diet you were talking about probably is closest to natural (assuming you didn't really mean "ANIMAL FOODS are the way!" which was just to catch the attention). From the global perspective, the local omnivore would be quite a tough mission to achieve (unfortunately!). Neither do I think that veganism can fully take over. Now should we try to pursue towards the most "natural" always? I believe the key to survival is not being closest to "how things should/used to be", but how well a species can adapt. The current planetary outlook is absolutely not great (just being realistic), so for the human benefit, some adaptation/change needs to happen on our side. With this I'd like to point to the "vegan industry propaganda for profit" argument. While this is true that companies should make profit to survive (and also, useless vegan junk foods do exist), one shouldn't simply water down the efforts to advance in food technology, if the intent is to reduce carbon footprint and animal suffering (while combining nutrients and keeping the textures and taste we like). Just like advances in all other fields (medicine, IT, transport etc), improvement in food technology can be beneficial, if done right. Similarly - we don't use horses to plow the fields anymore, only because it used to be so when better tech wasn't available. Despite all the weird ingredients and unnatural actions we take, human lifespan has increased - so technology isn't the magical solution to everything, but neither is it an all-out evil invention. All in all, I don't think it makes much sense to seek for the absolute right answer and polarize/attack on everything else. Times keep changing and the window of optimal solutions keeps slowly moving, too. Right now science shows that we need to drastically reduce meat intake with the increasing possibility of being well-off on a vegan diet, thanks to new technologies. Vegan diet might not be the perfect solution (also people are different), but research shows it is mostly healthier than our current eating habits, not to mention reduced carbon footprint.

🙌🏼🙌🏼

I won't drink the Soylent, I won't eat the bugs, I won't live in the pod. I'll eat my eggs, drink my bone broth, and keep cooking this beef liver.

Excellent video with so much information 👍🏾 It would be good to have each segment broken up into smaller 10min videos so that more people would watch and focus on each topic as you explained some really important points that need to be emphasized 💡

I get acne from dairy. What is it with goat milk that would make me tolerate it? I've heard this before as well, but I havn't found anything that would confirm this, so I'm asking in case you know why this is.

I agree with most of what you're saying, but did you just say India has lots of obesity? You walk down the street in India it's very hard to find someone overweight lol.

A practical question: how can you get a moose from hunters in Tartu?

Incredibly well made video. Thank you for touching on every aspect of the transition.

Well-spoken, great facts, great arguments.

CONGRATULATIONS BRO THAT IS THE FUCKING WAY TO GO ANIMAL FOOD FOR NUTRIENTS AND BALANCED DIET CARBS AND GLYCOGEN FOR WORKOUTS, BEEF LIVER WHOLE EGGS AND STEAK ARE THE BEST MULTIVITAMIN YOU WILL EVER NEED, CONGRATULATIONS BRO 🤧😊😊
