From Keto To Plant-Based: 'Watching The Game Changers Changed My Health'

4 months ago Dan Hancock watched the netflix documentary 'The Game Changers' and the next day changed to a whole-foods plant-based lifestyle. He lost 63lbs, went from a 2xL shirt to a Large, 42 pants to a 34, and his blood pressure dropped from 150/100 to 115/75 all while eating as much as he wanted! We had to share Dan's story - hope you enjoy!

Switch up almost 3 months ago and have been in the best shape in my life. I just completed the NYC marathon in Nov and it was a great journey 🌱💪🏾

FOUR MONTHS?!?!?!?!?! I would always advocate for animals, and recommend a whole foods plant based diet to anyone wanting to improve their health.. but four months, that's such an incredible change in such a short space of time.
👏💚🌱🌍

Kudos to you man!

This guys story same as mine except I wasn’t as big as him but watched GC and then next day was vegan. No big emotional drama around it, just did it.

Lost 15 pounds the first month which just shocked me because nothing I’ve done in the past even came close to that. Then a bunch of digestive issues completely gone after a lifetime of issues and body just feels superb!

I was similar. 3 years ago fat vegetarian, despite working out everyday. Watched What the Health and went vegan the next day, lost 15 kg in 4 months. First it was about health, now it’s about not exploiting animals.

I love any story where a plant based diet is changing lives but, I especially love it for guys like this. I am so happy for him!
Plant based since 7/2019 and loving every day💚

Eating a whole food plant based diet is just better for your health.

Vegan for a year, never felt better. I'm also a bodybuilder, what a great accomplishment. #bekind #bevegan #vegains

The Tennessee Titans nearly made it to the Super Bowl with at least 14 players on a WFPB diet. And they said it couldn't be done.

Man, hearing this is super amazing :) just came back grocery shopping and it makes me happy every time since I'm vegan.

VEGAN MOTIVATION 2020: I went vegan at 13, not rich or privileged, non vegan family, and still vegan 4 years later. Had no problem building muscle, If I can do it, so can you! Let's leave animal cruelty in the past

I'm a fellow vegan YouTuber by the way. Let's get our health back 2020.

I love stories like this. So many of my co workers are doing the keto diet and are deathly afraid of carbs but they don't look anywhere near as healthy and as fit as I, the carb eating vegan monster. It is to laugh-ha! They won't eat WTF?

[stevegrady]

I was also deeply impressed with Game Changers. I have been Vegan for the past month except for one meal (in a hospital cafeteria, ironically).

[tezzag]

I watched it, two months ago and also changed overnight. Loving it, feeling great, and I am 68 and fitter than I have ever been

[reachtrita]

Such a great testimonial!! I’m glad he is sharing the fantastic results for others to join and get the benefit!

[howierobbery]

when an athlete discovers plants they always get results fast 🤓

Congratulations on your commitment to better health, animal welfare and the health of our planet 💞💞💞

I was a pescatarian for three years before 1/2/2020 and decided to give veganism a try. I also watched The Game Changers but have toyed with the idea even before that. I started feeling great a week after I started (at first my energy level was super low but I figured out it was because I wasn’t eating enough lol). At the beginning of February I decided to weigh myself though I said I would and saw that I lost 10 pounds! I decided to give veganism a try for better health and not necessarily for weight loss and I feel that I’ve gained both! What I initially said I was only doing for the month of January I now have plans of continuing.

[scottyg]

Excellent! Congrats on the weight loss! Great video!

Fantastic work, man! I’m one of those reformed carnivores who lived a very active & athletic life until “the rest of life happened” & my ever-present inner vegan was (temporarily)silenced. So, here we are, age 46 & I’ve finally parsed all my values, convictions & commitments, etc & (so far...) I’m down 31 pounds. Took the scenic route, but got there despite it all. Not even one year in, I’ve surpassed my weight-loss goals. Once, I was afraid to walk around the block, but learned the other day that it’s finally (!!!) easier to be more active & feel more motivated during the spring & summer months. All this goes hand-in-hand w just being more comfortable in my own skin, despite all “the extra” there will be after such a dramatic weight-loss transformation...oh well! I’m looking forward to more “vegan gains” in the form of weight loss, much-lower cholesterol numbers, as well as continuing to experience all the positive effects I feel so far—my knees & feet no longer hurt when I wake up, & perhaps my chronic back pain (although due to a serious injury), may alleviate somewhat.

To everyone who’s ever felt any positive shifts in their health by going whole-food vegan—keep on rockin! I’m inspired by these successes bc I know that I can & will achieve a better quality of life by choosing vegan life, as well. ☮️❤️ 🌱

Plus, there are these really random & cool moments that happen just while running errands, like the cashiers who thank you for bringing reusable bags & containers to the grocery store; or anyone who’s bold enough to be openly curious about the tofu you’re buying... I swear I’ve recommended so many YouTube channels to ppl who aren’t afraid to show their curiosity about how & why tofu or tempeh are the best-ever quick dinner ideas. I’m always giving out recipes for stuffed baked sweet potatoes, tofu scrambles, sauce ideas...I mean, dayum—it’s so rewarding when someone shows genuine & respectful interest in that combo of items they’re scanning or bagging! It makes me so happy to tell the lady at Target (cheapest tofu where I live) about the benefits of freezing tofu, or why I’m the only person to whom she’s ever sold tahini...

Always been an early bird, but only recently I’ve been doing early-morning cooking & meal prep. The neighbors in my building never interact, but the other day, one guy asked what I was making bc it “triggered his biscuits n gravy obsession.” 😳 When I told him about the tofu/chickpea curry, & the mushroom-gravy stuffed spuds I’d prepped, he was kinda surprised but still interested.

Personally, the phrase “Vegan Gains, ” is defined by any moment we plant-based eaters & vegan lifers capture anyone’s positive curiosity. That’s what I felt way back when I “met my first vegan...” lol, we were fairly instant friends & I’ve been asking myself “WWND” for 20 years—or whenever I’m faced w an “I’m vegan at any random restaurant” situation.

Dude, I never meant for this to be soooo looong... is it like, “for every calorie burned, a paragraph gets added to a social-media comment?” Idk... rock on tho. 👍🏼

(Typo edit, after all... 🤣)
