      Yes, and when doctors tell us the truth about unhealthy Western diets, we don’t start whining about it and trying to change the subject matter as you are doing. Grow up!

      Please stop putting vegans and vegetarians in the same sentence. We are worlds apart. Vegans are closer to paleo/carnivore. If you don’t get that you’re dumb. I was carnivore before vegan. Vegetarian is not healthy . Indians have dramatically become more unhealthy in modern times. They have a vast and hideously cruel dairy system and they have adopted the high sugar/cheap carb western diet. They have the highest rate of diabetes in the world. Not vegan. Stop using veganism as a weapon.

      Now it is common because there is an addition of what is called junk food (sugary drinks, donuts, snacks, alcohol increased starch what dr berg mentioned in the video). there is a common risk of a belly with a vegetarian diet + junk food YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH A VEGETARIAN DIET, you cannot be careless simple the thing is go to small villages which follow the traditional method no one is having a belly.

      It’s also related to quantity. If we look at Christian Orthodox monks, they only eat vegetarian with strictly plant based for about 3 months total in a year. But they also limit how much they eat. Of course, we could all do without sugar at all.

    I’m not Indian but I can attest to being vegan and having major bloating issues. I remember one night, I had just eaten a very small ‘healthy’ meal and the inside of my belly button felt like it was about to tear apart. I had never felt anything like that before. It happened a couple more times and I finally decided I needed to go back to my old way of eating to get back to my baseline. Once I did that I found KETO and haven’t looked back since.

  16. @pronayghosh on September 12, 2024 at 12:53 pm

    I am an Indian, and I agree about Mr Bergs point about Indian food being full of carbs and that aspect of lack of nutrition that leads to protruding belly.
    But it is an adaptation we have evolved with thanks to your kind!
    Experts have agreed centuries of not having food security (under the British and the mess thereafter they left) ‘evolved’ us to have extra energy storage as fat for the months of famine.
    And this phenomenon is still engrained to our food palate and our psychology.
    Even though we have more deaths related to metabolic syndrome day after day, our archaic society considers having a little belly fat is ‘healthy’.
    Only better education will free us from this rut.

      If the Brits were responsible for this type of obesity phenomenon in India, then Brits would have the same issue (and worse) because their access to food and their level of inactivity is even higher. Westerners have their own unique obesity issues, but it is nothing compared to India. So, trying to blame Westerners for India’s obesity epidemic isn’t going to work. Instead of trying to signal or point elesewhere, be responsible, accountable, and own it.

      Looks like too much veganism has affected your brain and you cannot think logically. The body actually NEEDS cholesterol. Cholesterol is stored in the brain, and it is vital to healthy brain function. Most vegetarians (and especially vegans) are deficient in cholesterol as their body becomes solely reliant on their liver to produce cholesterol for them. The only ways to ensure adequate healthy cholesterol is to eat meat, fish, eggs, and shellfish.
