Yess I’m so here for it.❤❤📝
Welcome back. Whenever the protein question comes up in regard to veganism I always ask people what animals are the most muscular on earth? After people think about it the answers come.
Elephant – vegan!
Rhinoceros – vegan!
Hippopotamus – vegan!
Gorilla – vegan
Blue Whale – vegan!
Brahman Bull – vegan!
It seems obvious that if all of these huge muscular animals can build all of that size and muscle eating plants that there is no problem with not getting enough protein from plants.
Just a clarification because many don’t know: veganism isn’t a diet, plant-based is. Vegans eat a plant-based diet, however, *very important* there’s no such thing as 1 plant-based or vegan diet. Not eating animal products is a non-action, it’s not a diet. The spectrum is all the way from a junk food plant-based person to whole foods plant-based (WFPB, healthiest for humans). Veganism is an ethical stance against animal abuse and exploitation, not a diet. If your health matters to you, a WFPB diet is optimal.
@@thebowandbullet True, but it is also counter-productive overall to villify those that use the term vegan diet. They are likely on the train to ethical veganism.
It’s worth mentioning that a lot of people are B12 deficient (~20-30% of people) and especially Vit D (most people living away from the equator, even more so if they have darker skin tones). Being vegan or not doesn’t make much of a difference, these have to be supplemented for most people.
P.S. B12 is not generated by animals, but by bacteria in a cobalt-rich soil, which is not the case for most land nowadays. Farmers supplement it in their livestock, so skip the middle step and take a tiny, cheap supplement.
I thank you for this! Simnett Nutrition is a good one for guys who think they can’t get protein as a vegan for bodybuilding. I love your channel best, cuz I love sweet potatoes and lentils! And you’re gorgeous, so it’s nice to see you teaching words of wisdom. My grand-niece got in trouble at school around halloween for saying, “I’m not supposed to eat this, cuz my mama says I shouldn’t eat poo.”
@@cagedgreed true. He uses protein powder as well. As you cant ger enough protein on beans alone etc
Thank you so much ☺️ And I agree, Simnett is great.
OMG, I am laughing about your niece. Kids are the best!
Hi, I’m not vegan or intend to be. I love your channel, and it’s very helpful and improved my diet. I need more vegan days or at least vegan meals. The spectrum can be vegan to non vegan and improve everybody diet. I will check your new book
I recommend watching Earthlings, Cowspiracy, and Forks over knives
Thanks so much!!
You look absolutely incredible! A wonderful advocate for this way of life. Best wishes from the Scottish Highlands ❤
I have followed you and your website and YouTube clips for a long time. This clip was great! You look amazing! Eating healthy makes all the difference! I’ve been on an organic vegan diet since about 2015. I never ever have a health problem. I have no oil whatsoever in my diet. Dr Caldwell Esselstyn: “No oil!” A vegan diet never gets boring, contrary to what some people think. I eat a ton of vegetables, with fruits and whole grains and beans and seeds. Love this diet! Keep up the great work!
I agree! A vegan diet never needs to get boring. With such an abundance of plants, how could it?! Sounds like you’re eating so good.
Thank you for continuing to watch!!
Wow!! That was one information filled video ❤❤❤❤Thank you!
I’ve been a vegan 54 years. We had few shops of use to us and had to form our own foods. My go to shops always Indian they had the foods I could eat.
Im used to it.
I prefer my own foods but am glad I get more GF flours I need, I eat tons of beans, grains, fruit + veg. My blood tests perfect last month again except I struggle with getting enough salt.
@@airyfairycelt-m2t how is it possible to struggle to get enough salt, it is so addictive and makes everything taste better
Nice video full of informative information. I appreciate researched based content especially when I’m making informed decisions about my health. Question: what are the health concerns around consuming grains? Just curious. ☀️🙂
Fantastic 🎉 Love and follow your channel always and get educated from cookbook and videos.PLEASE keep going
I absolutely love the podcast. I have been plant based for more than 25 years… I love what you said about a potential goal when you turn 95. I turned 76 in November and my desire is to live a long healthy. I don’t take any medication and my daughter and granddaughter are not vegan able to knock. They keep telling me they are not ready. I did share your podcast with my granddaughter. However, thank you for what you do. I do have your cookbook and will explore more into your blog and see if I can get my granddaughter to cook a dish with me again. Thank you!
Enjoying this video. Thank you! ❤
