Vegan diet benefits Videos

+Jose Noto Ardanuy Thank you! and yes it is true. Plant based diet is amazing. I wish more people would be able to see it/try it out :) I am from Estonia :)

+John Thor I know it is amazing :) best thing I have done in my entire life..

+Angela Dobrzynski Thank you so much Angela!! :) Great idea...I will definitely share that in one of my next videos :) xo

+May Bullough I know what u mean when ur in an area where its more difficult to be vegan, however, by giving up dairy products like cheese you won't be missing out on any nutrients and vitamins as the same nutrients can be found in veggies ex. broccoli. Veggies are great to stock up on as they're easier to get than some fruits during the winter times especially. Do what makes u feel good, if you have questions about nutrients theres tons of vegan sites online that will help u understand the in and outs. Ive included some links below in this video that u can check out to learn more about it. Eat what makes ur body thrive not what others tell u u should eat ;).

+Jaynekmj ok for sure i will soon! :)

+Leah Blackburn try adding cayenne pepper, mix up cooking your veggies with olive oil and coconut oil. Also, try adding basil, it is great to add to veggie stirfries and garlic powder or fresh garlic is great too!

Thank you so much , I will defenitaly start experimenting.

+Leah Blackburn start experimenting with different ways and spices to cook your veggies with. Mix them up with yummy sauces to get your veggies more favourable. :)

I'll share something interesting- I am a nurse at a VA hospt. and you would not believe how many vets have B12 def. they are getting the shots and supplements monthly/daily. Trust me, these guys are not veggie! We used to get B12 from bacteria on vegetables from the soil- soil has changed and we clean our food. The vets get free health care and blood tests- our docs said that many of the pop. is B12 def.- we just don't get tested. Animals we eat to get B12 are Vegetarian How did they get it?

Geez ever heard of spirulina or goji, or golden berries etc etc theres tons of vitamin b12 at levels ranging from 100% to 2000% of your daily recommended amount, which is simply incredible, and you might say well to get at those levels youd need to eat a lot of those types of foods, that is not the case, but the more of the superfoods you eat the healthier you do get, its just sad this lady went about raw veganism the wrong way, and ended up not trusting the healthiest lifestyle known to man

You don't have to be vegan. However vegetation needs to make up majority of the diet. It is easier to obtain certain nutrients from meats as they are more concentrated. Meat eaters in nature are often smarter, and faster. Cholesterol and saturated fat do have roles in brain development and hormonal output. Vitamins are often not found in meats though, as well as certain minerals. I believe that if you make 70% of your plate fruits,vegetables and grains, you can eat 30% meats.

B12 is not absorbed well in supplements. The thing I do not like when people compare us to vegetarian animals is that the big/strong vegetarian eat all day, and eat tons of vegetation. Humans often do not eat all day, and what human consumes tons of spinach, and broccoli every day. If you did that you would obtain a lot of nutrients. Vegetarian animals often eat all day to get nutrition meat eaters tend to eat once in a while, and then sleep to digest.

Really? I managed to get my Body Fat down to 6% with the high fat-high protein-low carb approach to nutrition. Also I could start competing in Powerlifting and MMA contests succesfully. All that I wrote in the post b4 was nothing more than a short summary of Dr. Mauro Dipasquales Studies(well very short ;)) Wheres your scientific evidence for the positive effect of vegan nutrition on athletic performances? Or a healthier lifestyle? No hate brother.

@heidiheidi0 The problem there is that I rarely eat alone :P I either eat with friends or then my family, but when I do eat alone then yeah I eat fruits, salads, nuts etc :) and we get lunch at school, so I don't really have a choice there either. Oh and I eat plenty of fruits and veggies. :D I don't eat much else except those and meat, but thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try and follow it! :) :)

hey! could u make a video about the part where u said "thats another video"? haha im 16 years old but often and very tired drink a lot of coffee and am on adderrall. but i often feel very tired and groggy this summer i'm really trying to make lifestyle changes- so changing the way i eat is a big one and i would like some tips and your experiences with ur diet and not being as tired.. thanks!!=]

Hello ! I 'm french ! I love your videos ! But i have a question ;) I dont handerstand if you 'are still Raww food now (2012) ? And if you are, if it's at 80% or 100% ? i 'm trying the Raw Food diet for since 5 weeks now. I had a big difficult detox, but now i feel so weel ! Have you all this good efects on beauty imidietely, or did you have those after many months ? Thanks for you're answer !

@soonnic well I cook a lot for the family in general and it would just be more of a hassle and my parents don't really like the whole idea of this lifestyle. I guess they're traditional in the way that they like their meat etc. and they don't want me to start it. Its not just about making the food that my mom has a problem with, its about what I would eat. Get what im trying to say? :D

The only thing that baffles me with a low fat vegan diet, is that things like avocado, olives & olive oil have been proven countless times to be insanely beneficial to our bodies; yet they are naturally high in fat. I eat vegan, high carb, but I wouldn't say I was low fat or high fat. . .just medium fat. If it's natural fats, I can't see how they can be bad.

Why cant ppl just try going vegan for like a week or two and feel the diff in their body, instead of being terrified. I got several health issues, n when I went vegan (and mostly raw), everything was gone, not even a slight migraine. And I'm more energized than I've ever been before, plus I never experience bloating like when i was still eating meat.

the only reason that people on this diet are going to lose weight is because they are getting their carbs only from fruits and vegetables. I did the same thing but my diet was high fat low carb (meaning i got all my carbs from fruits and veggies but stayed away from simple carbs like sugar and white flour and pasta). l lost over 20 lbs in 5 weeks.

hi liz! thanks for the vid on your experience w the raw vegan diet. i really love hearing your perspective. do you think you could increase the volume on your videos in the future? i have my computer and the youtube window at max volume and it's a little soft to hear w the usual noise around the house. thanks and keep sharing your view with us! :)

@TheLilmissmel Sure! I am undecided about having children but if I were to become pregnant I would continue to eat this way and up my calories. My doctor agrees that my diet and lifestyle are very healthy. Honestly, it takes no discipline for me to eat this way... I simply eat what I love and what loves me back! (: Wish you all the best! xx

Some of the longest living cultures have higher carb diets. The Asian diet is mainly carb and vegetable based yet many places in Asia has a high life span. The high protein diet people tend to have lower life spans, in fact the Eskimos who eat a lot of fish and almost no vegetation have a life span of around 30 years.

Ouch. I'm sorry but your Video is total crap. Vegan nutrition is the wusses way out. Your body needs meat for muscle growth & to burn more fat. The High Carb-Low Fat approach will make you fat & week. Check out the anabolic diet by Dr. DiPasquale. Theres a reason why our ancestors ate meat-it's called survival...

@kaboom989 My advice would be to eat a HUGE breakfast before traveling. Bananas and dates have the most calories per bite and therefore will give you the most energy. Dates travel really well. That´s what I would take. Just make sure you´re drinking lots of water with them so they digest well! (: Have fun! xx
