I've been vegan for 3 years now, and I haven't had my menstruation ever in my time as a vegan. However, I don't know, if this is because of the diet or just because I'm a dude
@@DanteLikesRockthats because of the famines that were caused by the Brits. So our ancestors stored more sugar for surviving famines. But yes there are fattening foods in the indian diet & loads of high sugar foods too.
For someone who’s been vegan for almost 9 years, she is 100% correct. I’ve spent almost this entire time feeling like complete shit physically and, like her, I reached a point of complete exhaustion, severe mental fog, diarrhea every time I passed stool, depression, anxiety; my hair was thinning to the point of having my hairline recede due to all my hair falling out…it was horrible. I was also developing T2 diabetes! However, I was eating all processed and greasy foods, sodas, dyes and chemicals, and ungodly amounts of sugar in all the candy I consumed. In February of this year, I switched my diet to an oil-free whole foods plant based diet and everything changed almost overnight. It’s only been about 4 months since I’ve been eating only whole foods in their natural form without cheating and I feel better than I have since I was a kid. My skin looks vibrant and full of color, my moods are great, I can think clearly, the black circles under my eyes have disappeared, I look years younger, my hair has grown back and is full and thick again, I have the energy to hike for miles without getting tired and even have the energy to workout, which I’ve always been too lazy and unmotivated to do. I never thought that I’d have a nice, strong body, but I’m quickly working towards just that! I sleep great and wake up well rested even if I stay up late and only get a few hours of sleep. On top of all of that, I’m no longer developing diabetes! I think so many vegans like Shannen and myself make ourselves ill by the food we consume, and many go back to eating animal products because they think it’s the vegan diet that’s made them feel so weak and frail, but truthfully, it’s not the lack of animal products that has done this, it’s all the junk food they’ve consumed. Just because food is vegan, doesn’t mean it’s healthy. We become weak and ill when we’re malnourished. When we eat whole plant foods in their natural forms unadulterated with additives, preservatives, chemicals, dyes, plant/seed oils, etc., we nourish our bodies which allows them to function at full capacity. Obviously, this post is wholly anecdotal, but it’s been my own experience as a sickly vegan who’s changed his entire health and world for the absolute best. Whether you’re a vegan or a carnivore, I wish whoever reads this feels amazing and is blessed with great health, happiness and fulfillment.
Being vegan is always about the animals and not about you. Imagine I said, I don't beat my wife because I hurt my hand. It's the biggest social injustice in the world today.
@@dawn8542 Being VEGAN and being VEGETARIAN are two very different things. I'm a lacto-vegetarian, which means that I don't eat meat, seafood, and eggs. However, I do consume all types of dairy products and make sure to eat all types of dry fruits, vegetables, lentils, fruits, and etc. On a DAILY BASIS. I stopped eating eggs like months ago. I used to eat them a lot before, to force myself to like the TASTE, but every time, I felt like puking. Same with meat. I have no problem with people eating meat. But it's kind of absurd when you mock people. Yeah, I get it, some vegans take it TOOOO FARR. But you shouldn't judge people before you don't know their conditions. Many people are allergic to dairy products, eggs, or meat doesn't suit them at all.
People are actually hurting themselves by how much they work out. People have turned exercise into a chronic inflammatory state by doing it all the damn time for hours on end. Why does everyone think it’s healthy to jog 5 miles a day? It’s not. So your sarcasm blows back in your face
There IS something wrong with you. You’re depriving your body of something it was designed to digest on a regular basis. Sure it’s not necessary, but you are putting yourself at a disadvantage for your twisted “ethics”.

Most ex-vegans didn't take good care of their diet. I've heard from an ex-vegan that she lost her period. I found that extremely concerning, then I asked her what she ate in a day. She said "Nuts, bread and pasta" Also had another ex-vegan friend who refused to take care of her diet. She refused to eat beans so her diet was extremely low in protein. Those people are against taking B12 supplements.
who even said that literally anywhere?? where did she say she ate only 1 banana?? Oh, that's right... She didn't. Vegans with their straw-men, once again.🙄
Girl you talking about scam while being a bitcoin influencer like??? We both know who is the scammer here lol. Anyways 6 years as a vegan and my skin looks better than yours.
I don't think it's vegan vegetarian diet is to blame, most of our foods we buy from our supermarkets are sprayed with pesticides & fertilizers & horrible chemicals that's why we need to start growing our own foods & maintain our own soil.
@@DanteLikesRock He might not be.. being vegan doesn't have to be destructive to your health.. especially when you consider approx 60% of the average american diet is coming from ultra processed food and people have literally 0 care for what they eat, yes a vegan can be healthy 😂
@@DanteLikesRock pretty presumptuous, but whether youre a vegan only plays a small factor when it comes to your body shape. What you're eating during the diet obviously plays a large role and you know that you're just playing dumb. You can eat a great wealth of foods but if you pile your plate full and have an inactive lifestyle then you're not going to look the part
@@capri2673 haha no. plant protein is trash for most mammals that eat meat. its just filler. some fruits are good to throw in, but plant protein and unsaturated oil is so bad for you.
I'm 37 and been vegan for 11 years and feel great and have zero health problems. I am 9% body fat, very muscular, and have a one in a million aerobic capacity(86 V02 max). I take zero supplements, have a full head of hair, not a single gray hair, and people think I am in my early to mid 20's, including people in their teens and 20's who can spot aging a mile away. I will say, men tend to do better with veganism than women but I chalk that up to poor eating habits and food choices. Junk food is junk, vegan or not.
@@jimijj8325 I think , it would be a good idea for you to make clear where you get it from anytime you say that you take zero supplements. If it working for you great, but it's probably a good idea for new vegans especially to take B!2 supplements until they are confident about the amount of it they can get from other sources. Those things may not be staples in everyone's kitchen.
@@Smithpolly The vast majority of people need to take supplements, vegan or not. Most approach a vegan diet with the mentality that if it's vegan, it's healthy and nutritious which will ultimately fail. Most processed vegan meat substitutes are terribly unhealthy. I even think lean, organic meats are healthier than those vegan meat substitutes. Healthy vegans eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, minimal oils, and minimal heavily processed foods. I track macro and micro nutrients and build my meals around nutrition first and foremost. I enjoy what I eat but I do not look at food as a source of pleasure and comfort as even though it can provide those, they are short lived.
@@jimijj8325"Healthy vegans eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, minimal oils, and minimal heavily processed foods." Will doing that ensure that a vegan gets enough B12?
Vegan 8 years, started feeling brain fog and got fatter ever since i started. My hair is also falling out. I also started an office job and eating a lot more 8 years ago. Recently I've been exercising more and feel years younger! Nothing to do with the diet, I'm just getting older
Bull. You were never vegan. Vegan is an ethical stance. That's like saying, I used to be against racism but I stopped. You were plant based and doing it wrong.

@@pera06 your arrogance is very embarrassing. It’s not about if you eat plants or not it’s about getting all the macronutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs. That’s why you can be healthy being an omnivores as well as being a vegan. I’m hungry between meals every 4-5 hours like a normal human being. My father is vegan and eats 2 meals a dal because he’s never really hungry. He is always calm and happy. As his son I’m the same. Blood tests come out good, energy levels are good, I can perform perfectly at the gym etc. Stay uneducated and ignorant.

just because something is controversial doesn't make it false. there was a time that saying "cigarettes and asbestos are bad" would've been "controversial" too.
@@DanteLikesRock The very meaning of controversy is something that's debatable, something that has people coming in opposition of it, and something that's debatable and gives rise to a combination of agreement and disagreement cannot be said to have a set conclusion, unless it has been formerly discussed, researched and has scientific conclusion, for eg cigarettes. Cigarettes have been seen scientifically proven to be bad for health. There is plenty of research and peer reviewed science on the subject of cigarettes which isn't the same for veganism.
@@skincarerainbow4950 missed my point completely. Re-read what I said. THERE WAS A TIME that saying cigarettes being bad for you health was controversial too.
@@DanteLikesRock I have already read your statement. In your previous comment you made the statement "just because something is controversial doesn't mean it's false", which is why I have replied the way I have replied. Cigarettes were controversial at one point, which means people were in two minds about it but it's not longer the case, it's a world wide fact now that cigarettes are harmful for health, which isn't the case for veganism. So her drawing conclusions about veganism isn't correct, because it hasn't proven to be so. So the statement "just because something is controversial doesn't make it false" is incorrect, because the very meaning of controversy is something that doesn't have a set conclusion, so calling it false or true is a conclusion we are attaching to it.
@@skincarerainbow4950 the only reason veganism is still controversial is because we have religious groups paying off all the studies to make it look decent.
Six years without meat. Perfect hair, perfect nails, good skin, I just don't menstruate because I'm a man. I'm not a vegan tho. Wow, some of you were really offended by my comment.
I have many friends who are vegetarian by birth. Generally these guys have higher stability of mind. Lean and active body. They don't force other to become vegetarian. Their emotions are pretty stable. They have control over their food intake. Even though I eat non veg, because non veg taste great. But if you prefer control over your mind and body, you should start looking for vegetarian food milk products included. And if you are indulged in heavy physical activities you can eat non veg in controlled manner. For more information please contact your doctor.
Blood type is a thing people forget. People with type A generally do better with a vegan diet while people with type O generally do better with carnivorous diet. People with type B are somewhere in between while people with type AB need a strict approach to diet. This person is probably type O that's why she couldn't sustain a vegan diet while the rest of the people who say they've been vegan for years without any major health issues are type A.
thank you so much for telling this, i aways thought human adaptability to veganism was somehow linked to genetics, this is already a light to my theory
@@assypeachmusic1006 I'm type O negative and am doing just fine on a 75% carnivorous diet, I'm faster stronger and more energetic than when I was a vegetarian.
According to a 2020 study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, blood type does not affect the health benefits of a vegan diet. The study found no link between blood type and the effects of a plant-based diet on body weight, body fat, plasma lipid concentrations, and glycemic control. In fact, the study found that participants of all blood types lost similar amounts of weight and cholesterol, regardless of their blood type. The researchers concluded that plant-based diets are beneficial for people of all blood types.
I've been vegan since 2015, I've done blood, heart, tension exams several times during that period, and all the medics said everything was fine. I feel about the same to be completely honest before and after.
I guarantee you are low on many minerals at the very least B12 considering you literally cannot get B12 in anything else besides meat and dairy products.
Been vegan for 10 years. It’s not a diet, it’s a choice to avoid all animal use and abuse as far practicable as possible. That’s easy to do if you think of the victims and the environment, and stop being a selfish.
Been pure carnivore for a while now and my health and autoimmune issues have done a complete 180. Lost 40 pounds in 4 months, and my blood work looks AMAZING. I got sucked into the vegetarian world for a while myself. The massive influx of seed oils coupled with the malnutrition from the diet itself was hell on my GI tract. My health is drastically better after giving up plants in the diet
Just because you failed the vegan diet doesn’t mean the vegan as a whole is unhealthy, there are right and wrong ways to be vegan just like there are many right and wrong ways to eat omnivorous. I have been vegan for 3 years I have clear skin, never experience tiredness, I have regular normal period, had a full term pregnancy and have a healthy baby and breastfeeding just fine. If your no longer vegan good for you but don’t slandering veganism to others just because you failed it.

If you take all the plant-based advocates vs omnivore advocates, such as book authors, the proponents of an omnivore diet live on average less than plant-based ones.

Huge contributions to heart disease are things like cholesterol and fats. Something vegans have 0 issues with. There's litterally 0 cholesterol in vegan foods. I mean 20-30 years ago if was a lot harder to be vegan, but still doable and quite easily, it just wasn't as tasty as today. There are cultures thay have been primarily plant based for a long time now and they are some of the healthiest and logest living on average.
you need to understand also that in the west you became so radical about it and you go vegan overnight coming from ancestors who ate meat. This obviosuly doesn't work. also because if you wish fish and meat restricting yourself out of guilt it is gonna be so destructive a rrstrictive diet is not good long term. But I am indian and was raised vegetarian ( not vegan). my grandma is 94 and she looks great and has a tone of energy. she never tasted meat in her entire life. I am 26 and never ever had any problem with my periods, I dont even have pain and it always comes on time, and I never ate meat since childhood. because in the West veganism became a trend that doesnt mean vegetarinism is just a trend. for YOU its a trend. for other cultures it is a religious thing and we survived since centuries without meat. I do not subscrive to the vegan phylosophy. I believe human are first before animals. if you need meat for nourishment you shoul eat meat you shouldnt torture yourself! if you come from ancestors who ate meat you are gonna need meat. if you would wanna transition to vegetarian, you would need 10 to 15 years of slowly transitioning for it to be healthy. But who takes 10 years to transitiom to vegeterianism? nobody. they do it fanatically and overnight. and also they remove eggs and dairy too. that is what is umhealthy. please umderstand that, it is not black and white and in other cultures we have been vegetarian literallt since 6000 years ago and nobody scamed us.
Vegetarian since birth. non of this happened to me either! if people take veganism as an excuse to eat junk food and they change diet radicallt instead of slowly reducing meat that doesnt mean veganism is all of a suden the worst thing ever
Ask a lottery winner if the lottery is a scam. And then listen to those who didn’t win say how it is a scam because they are broke and depressed because they haven’t got any money. Play the game right (lottery is chance, of course) and it isn’t a scam. Just because you didn’t do it right, doesn’t make it a scam. Vegan 13 years now 👌🏼 sorry it didn’t work out for you. But learn how to do it right and you’ll see why it suits so many of us.
or... you could just eat like a normal human and not have to worry about "doing it right". gosh lol, simple common sense goes out the window with you vegans.

If Veganism was a "scam," then none of us would be able to stay Vegan long-term. I reversed 6 major lifelong health issues without the need for medication or surgical procedures by going Vegan while having bronchitis in the middle of winter. I wished I had done it sooner. I couldn't believe how naturally my body balanced itself out, leaving me with such an unbelievable sense of overwhelming peace and joy. I love waking up every day pain-free and going to bed pain-free. Maybe you just gave into your old habits and addiction to familiar foods from your past. Our survival-minded brain has a primal urge to trick us into eating the most calorie-dense foods at our disposal even though most of us have access to healthy foods grown from the ground every day.
You know that they say - there's always some truth in a lie - so that doesn't dismiss veganism as being a scam. Absolute veganism just doesn't exist (because everyone's ancestors ate meat - so it's within one's DNA) - so it is a scam. It's just removing animals from your diet helped you out, but that doesn't mean capitalism didn't make the US ill with salt, oil, and sugar - which all can be vegan. You probably went above and beyond by not eating junk food too. Going vegan can be a scam if you make yourself ill or eat the foods that aren't vegan and think they are. PS - being vegan doesn't stop cravings - that's why the faux animal product empire arose out of veganism. Who honestly can give up ice cream, donuts, eggs, cheese, etc.?
I am a vegetarian too, means no meat , seafood or poultry. But I still consume dairy products occasionally like cottage cheese. I used to drink milk regularly but gave up all most milk products.
I just always wonder where are these vegans are in real life. All the vegans I know and myself are okay. The only once I know that eat more varied now are because they didn't want to always annoy waiters or family. Not saying I don't believe the Internet people; it just seems blown oit of proportion. I haven't eaten meat foe 14 years now and my menstruation is fine.
Yeahhh when you don't listen to your body and eat uncalibrated vegan diet.... U just need to find the alternatives that gives you the same level of satisfaction as the non vegan diet used to give you.

Good for you. How about you highly evolved, activist vegans caring at least as much about human beings as you do about cows, pigs, and chickens? There are over 50,000 Americans who die every year because this country prioritizes the profits of insurance companies and drug companies over people's lives. How about taking a strong moral stance against American imperialism and the millions of innocent people we have killed and maimed in all of the countries we have invaded illegally? And BTW, our military and our constant war-making is the number-one contributor to climate change, even more so than our industrialized animal farming.
@@mushshrap6471 Being (clean) carnivore would probably result in the least animal deaths. It would be like 2 cows and a few chickens and a bit of other animals Edit: per year

@DanteLikesRock @DanteLikesRock And vice versa. Did u not read what I said? I literally said I am in perfect health, is that not good enough? Meat and dairy is in every shop, of course they want u to keep buying it.
Was vegan for a year. I felt like a zombie and got sick a lot. My hunger was never satisfied and I looked like I’ve been on heroine for awhile. I’ve been carnivore since September 2021 and have no words to explain how great I feel
I've been vegan for over thirty years, and I'm healthy. For me, it's a matter of empathy and compassion. Non -human animals do not deserve the unimaginable violence we ìnflict on them. No excuses.
@@hoesmad8445Oh so we became omnivores because we were selfish? You know, the reason we even developed the pleasure of eating them was because they were so essential for our survival? By now you probably know farming crops kills animals, pest, deforestation all that type of stuff. Killing wild animals in the process, the ones that still have their natural instincts attached? Our domesticated animals were protected by us and had lifes they could never had in the wild, they don't have to fear and their pain receptors are barely working. So i don't get how killing wild animals are fine but killing animals that don't really care isn't? Besides, you still kill more wild animals through farming than if you eat one cow per month.
Well there are people that smoke or drink blood / eat raw meat , sticks of butter , excessive alcohol for years and they don’t die so trust me it wasn’t your vegan diet that killed you but it is terrible for you
8 years vegan, mostly whole plant foods, mostly raw. As long as you get enough calories from sprouts, sprouted legumes, fruits, veggies, you will avoid the most common killer diseases of our society.
And the carnists screech " what are you talking about there's no way we live in a world where most people blame everything but themselves for their own failures" ... It's almost like a meat eaters can't grasp basic reality... No wonder they can't figure out they aren't lions or some other creature that actually needs meat... ;-)
Being a vegan is the dumbest thing you can do to your body and you need constant supplements and obsession with blood tests to upkeep it for like 7 years.
I never understood how people think veganism isn't healthy when people like Annette Larkins walk amongst us. You can't clog your arteries eating plants. Vegans have healthier hearts, eyes, reproductive systems and bones for a reason.
You just explained your personal experience, not veganism. You can't just say that veganism is a scam just because you didn't make it work for yourself long term, you have to make sure you're eating properly on any diet or you'll have issues. This would be like me saying that med school is just a scam because I didn't do well in it, or that various types of beans are unhealthy simply because I don't digest them very well.
Been Fully Vegan for 6 years now and can say I too made the mistake of not doing Veganism correctly then realized I was only eating salads so I expanded my Vegan pallet and wow that made a whole difference.
@@greenghost6416 Yes. In a world where eating animal products is the norm, it can be hard for some to know what to eat and how much of it. I know a person who stopped being vegan cause he ate 2 salads and 1 protein shake per day and I asked him, does that align with what you were eating prior the change? He said no. He was drastically eating differently and not getting the right amount of calories and nutrients. A little research can fix this. The key is to eat a variety of whole foods. As a vegan this is what helps me stay healthy. For example, breakfast: oatmeal with hemp seeds, almond butter and bananas. Lunch: whole grain sandwich with some kind of vegan protein like tempeh, chickpea spread, tofu or seitan, with some greens. Dinner: lentil and vegetable soup. Snack: Apple, vegan protein bar, carrots etc. (I’m kinda boring when it comes to my snacks but there are many options lol) All the vitamins, minerals, macronutrients and calories fulfilled for the day.
I ate a pretty healthy omnivore diet before going vegan 6 years ago and I’ve never felt better than I do now. No aches and pains, better sleep at night, clear skin, proper digestion, improved mood, and I’ve had a very healthy pregnancy/breastfeeding journey as well. We have plenty of research to support the fact that veganism can be a very healthy way to eat if you consume a balanced and varied diet.
Yeah if you switch from processed junk to veganism. Veganism is unhealthy and leads to many nutritional deficiencies most of the time when you feel better on veganism is because you normally switch from garbage to veganism. You will still be unhealthy just don’t eat garbage and you’ll be fine eating meat is healthy and nutritious.
@@greenghost6416 please - share the proper human diet with me - researchers and scientist have been looking - but we haven't found it - why have you been holding out?
@@greenghost6416 interestingly enough, I have researched "our ancestors", have you? If so, you would know that "our ancestors" were opportunistic eaters and diets varied widely based on the region of the planet and cultural traditions.

Of course, it's possible to be vegan and unhealthy at the same time but that purely depends on how you do it! Either you could eat oreos everyday and nothing else or you fill yourself with needed nutrients from natural foods. Veganism is not a scam and it undeniably helps in not encouraging the meat and dairy industry to continue doing what they are doing. Side note: I've been vegan for four years and have NONE of these problems.

Like my consciousness was sitting deep inside my brain behind a thick veil of smoke. Those last few symptoms were the most concerning to me as I felt like my mind was slipping away. I didn’t know if it was a mental illness I was developing or a vitamin deficiency or something more serious but it’s a very scary feeling. The doctors said there was nothing wrong, that I’m healthy and they don’t know why I’m feeling this way. They just said my iron was low but I was born anemic so that was no surprise. Did everything I could with my vegan diet, eating more protein, Whole Foods, plants with nutrients but the symptoms kept getting worse. Long story short, I found out it was my diet and have been feeling better since I slowly started introducing animal products back into my diet. It started last month with fish and dairy. This month I started eating chicken and eggs again. I have cried multiple times because of how good I feel and because I have the energy to live life again. To be me again. I’m still recovering as whatever is going on took seven years to develop and will take time to fix, but the way I feel now is a strong confirmation that I’m made the right decision no matter how hard it was to reconcile in my mind that I was leaving a lifestyle I was so passionate about for a long time. I’m not saying it’s impossible to be a healthy vegan. I’m just saying it doesn’t work for everyone and I never thought I would be one of those people. I think my history with anemia played a huge role in why veganism doesn’t work for me. But I’m happy it works for you. I wish I could say the same.
there's a carnivore farmer lady who still jumps over fences to wrestle her bulls. Oh... she's also 86 and looks at least 20 yrs younger. I suppose being a farmers daughter wouldn't be so bad.
I was vegan for years and was convinced it was the right thing to do, but one day I started to lose my hair, nails and my skin was becoming gray… oh wait that never happend Im still vegan and unaffected by the curse of of the crop god. Honestly just see a doctor if you have health issues but dont make it out as if eating your greens are making you sick. There is 100 ways to eat plantbased and you can still avoid animalproducts and follow some diet restrictions as well.
Haha I guess my wife and I are special for being vegan for 7 years and not experiencing any of that. You can also eat local as a vegan as it is not a requirement to eat non sustainable foods. You just explained your experience, not veganism.
@@tomasagustinveravicentin7789 Better start researching more unbiased sources on veganism. People need to really wake up here in America. This was never just a trend for recent years. Other countries were miles ahead of us on this before it was mainstream years ago. I think you need to wake up because you pretty much proven that you know nothing about long term ideal human nutrition.😆
Embrace meat. Meat has certain nutrients that plants don’t We’re omnivores, not herbivores So don’t give up plants, but don’t give up meat too. Both are necessary in an every day diet.
I strongly DISAGREE: A lot of people going Vegan don't follow through into their diet. Hence they DISMALLY FAIL at their 1st prolonged attempt. Then use social media to discredit Veganism Due to their lack of research before attempting the diet. In addition, they are unwilling & impatient to substitute what they have cut out from their previous diet (meat diet). If you can't afford to hire a professional qualified CHEF. Books and Videos are your best substitutes... Taking into consideration genes and genetics 🧬 playing a crucial role in how an individuals body may respond to veganism. Financing a vegan diet may vary from country to country which explains the sour mood for most ex vegans. Olive Oil and Tofu don't come cheap... The vast knowledge of blending Various Spices to keep the food from being "BLAND"😢 plays a crucial key role in a Vegan diet. Which is the major reason why most give up and surrender!!! LACK of VEGAN RESTAURANTS seeps in further depression, compared to Poultry and Seafood restaurants.
I've been vegan for about 10 years and have never had to deal with 90%+ of the things she just listed. Perhaps she wasn't getting all the right nutrients or maybe something else was at play with her health, but just straight-up writing all those problems off on veganism and declaring it a scam is baffling, to say the least.
I've eaten meat my whole life, and I genuinely can't remember the last time I've eaten a whole, unprocessed fruit or vegetable. The closest I've came is things like apple pie and french fries. My diet is mostly made up of fatty fried foods, energy drinks, soda, meat, cheese, and hard liquor. I feel strong, healthy and energetic. It's called "being in your twenties."
@@vegan-rising People my age who are vegan are already breaking down. They need a cabinet full of pills just to feel "ok" whereas I still feel great. What does that say about their diet?
@@Otakupatriot117 it basically says nothing. have you looked at any of the actual science or you're just talking out of your ass? anecdotal claims are meaningless. the reality is vegans aren't the ones lining up at the hospitals. there is no health epidemic that is caused by eating a whole foods plant-based diet. and no, we don't take cabinets full of pills. B12 is pretty much the only supplement I take.
@@bobbadman1551 no? 😂 the crying emoji is from crying from laughter buddy. :) I think self reports about how low your iq is are utterly hilarious to make fun of. 🤣 The best content to make fun of comes from the least self aware people. Edit: especially when the stupidity is said with so much bravado. 🤣
If it was the correct diet you wouldn’t need to balance nutrients idiot. You could literally live off any animal based food because they are all perfectly balanced.
@@drumusic5665 Nothing against veganism in general, but the truth is also that there are lots of people with similar experiences. As long as there are no long-term studies (20 years +) that proof the opposite I will continue eating animal products like humans did for the last 500.000 years.
Veganism is not a diet, is a lifestyle, meaning the products that you also purchase for your hygiene as well, visiting a zoo would be anti vegan as well and etc
@@DanteLikesRock: Blatantly false nonsense. For 99% the past 5 millions of years, the only scant evidence there is of meat-eating in humans is the occasional scavenging of some bones, and not only was that mostly by distant cousin human species that diverged from us, but some of those bone markings have in later times been found to actually have been from crocodiles. It's only with the advent of effective projectile weaponry a measly ~50,000 years ago that humans started hunting in any significant capacity, due to migrating out of our natural habitat and having to resort to toxic garbage like dead animal remains just to survive. That is needless to say not even remotely enough time (it's a negligible blip of time in an evolutionary context) to alter our physiologies in any meaningful way, which evolved over tens of millions of years in the rainforest. We also see very clearly that humans share virtually zero physiological traits with carnivores or omnivores, which are much more physiologically similar to each other than they are to us. So the idea that humans are natural meat-eaters is just total nonsense, it has zero basis in reality.
And you don’t feel guilty for all the animals that die in order for you to eat vegans? You’re an absolute hypocrite. There’s no human food without killing animals so stop with the holier than thou attitude.
the fact that there are only vegans in the top comments and hundreds of billions of meat eaters in the replies shows something only vegans have the brain power to comprehend
I was depressed on a meat-based diet and at least knowing I'm not contributing to animal agriculture is making me feel better. Eating citrus helps too. Veganism feels like an endless summer.
Until it doesn’t anymore… Humans are omnivores. Plants are good for fasting… but it can easily cause gut problems for most people and nutritional deficiencies. You feel good abstaining from shit quality processed foods and animal foods. However, high quality animal foods which we should eat are very nourishing.
@@schuylergeery-zink1923 if you want to consume cholesterol, hormones, etc. Look - 4.5 years in and it continue to help me feel better. Please don't speak for me. Humans are folivore-frugivores that turned into omnivores. Obviously not every plant is suitable and edible for us - again just leaves and fruit (and some flowers are acceptable). If you're eating anythign else - it's not suitable for your body. That doesn't make meat suitable - as that gave me severe gut issues. That's how you get colorectal cancer and kidney damage. We're not meant to eat animal proteins - only plant ones. And the only people in my family that have nutrition deficiencies are meat eaters. Why? because those vitamins come from bacteria and when tehy're killed off with antibiotics (you're eating that too) - you don't get the nutrients those bacteria make. Why not just eat that bacteria and their byproducts directly? Why complicate matters and everything? Also even if what you say is true about 'nourishing' (which plants can do too) - doesn't mean it's good for the planet or animals. Maybe you get a meal out of it - but if you kill teh planet and all the life around you - you won't have sustenance for long!
@@pingpong4811 ask your grandparents how much animal products they ate during WW2 and post war ....if they even had a chance to eat meat....I know your come back ..." My grandparents raised their own animals" ahahahaha
@@DanteLikesRock I’m 21.. if ppl Can live long years of eating junk food everyday I think I’m vaild . Educate yourself before you leave a comment like that.
@@DanteLikesRock you’re clearly not educated with a ego like tht and if you was actually educated you wouldn’t bother to respond to my comment bc you have much better things to focus on .stay humble your mind should b healthier then your diet .
@@DanteLikesRockif you have an open mind, Dr Matthew Nagra and lifting vegan logic bring science based proof that veganism is not a scam. For your consideration since you’re out here commenting on every damn vegan’s comment thinking you’ll convert them.
@@Charlie08079 That is false. I used to watch them when I was vegan. There is no science whatsoever over there. Just lame straw-man arguments. All they can do it quote epidemiology, we call that pseudo-science.
my hair fell out when I was vegan because I worked at a warehouse that always caught on fire due to toxic chemicals - washing hair in water led to the hair falling out. After I left, my hair grows back but not as well as it once did.
Veganism sort of is because mainstream veganism is extreme with the claims and statements they make, distort or stretch things, because most people wouldnt try it if you didnt. I understand being passionate about what you believe to be morally right, but you have to be honest with people. If they join for the wrong reasons theyll eventually get disillusioned and leave anyway. Then when they do they get viciously attacked. Nobody wins from this tactic.
