When Eating Healthy Becomes Unhealthy

Learn what happened when Jordan, known as the vegan blonde, realized her overly restrictive diet actually was making her sick.

This video wasn't even against the vegan diet, it just illustrated how some diets may not be for people who have orthorexia. But it showed how intolerant and violent vegans can be, just take a look at the comments.

her voice sounds like she's about to cry any minute

Interesting how a new wave of Veganism argues to be the most natural diet with respect to human health. The diet that promoted the evolution of our brain/body did have meat and animal products(Not Dairy, but Bone Marrow ) which is why people develop deficiencies when only on plant based diets.

 Hunter Gather diets were what we have developed on for several hundreds of thousands of years which included plant and animal products(No where near as many as we consume now, but they were present). Be Vegan for moral reasons sure, but the argument of it's the most natural for us is just not true.

I'm appalled by all of the hateful and judgemental comments on here. She had an eating disorder and felt horrible, and all of the "compassionate" vegans are giving her crap for eating meat, instead of being supportive and happy that she's feeling better.

Vegans sending death threats....now that's hilarious.

[fiorecamt]

her mental ilness has nothing to do with veganism. you can have it with or without veganism, this is very dumb.

This girl sounds insane. How nice for her to profit off of such bullshit. And "vegetarians" don't eat fish. I hate when people say this. You're a pescetarian if you eat fish. Sheesh.

Let's stop talking about this orthorexia thing. Why is she wearing a camouflage dress?

[kgvkm]

My vegan diet is not restrictive, I eat so many calories and carbs and feel so happy. She obviously did it for the wrong reason. We are vegans for the animals and the planet, humans do not need meat and animal products to survive. Most people are deficient in b12 not just vegans.

"There is such thing as being too healthy" He should really look up the definition of "healthy".

How do you know if someone is a vegan? Don't worry, they will fucking tell you.

[Candiecane]

The vegans commenting below are exactly what they are talking about?

[AngieBangie]

Wow these people are not educated about nutrition at all, how are they "doctors"?

[shellypardy]

the doctors on this show should be ashamed of themselves.. they should have  had an actual vegan on the show and on the panel.

This video is the other side of the issue where those who eat meat continuously put down plant based diets.  Doctors who talk about the dangers of a vegetarian or vegan diet.  I grew up primarily vegetarian, and people always had these comments about how children who were raised this way had protein deficiencies.  Over time due to being around people who always pushed meat as being the best thing to eat, I started eating chicken a few times a month as a kid.  As an adult I ate chicken, but about a year ago I became very tired of eating meat.  I never liked preparing raw meat, and I finally was able to realize this is because I do not like it very much.

With that being said I ate a lot less meat over my life time than the average American, and I did not have protein deficiencies.  I now eat a primarily vegan diet.  There are doctors who have shown the benefits of a plant based diet, so it is not true when these doctors keep shaming vegetarians and vegans.  With that being said I do not like the polarization on this topic with meat eaters and vegans calling each other names.  I think people need to eat whatever is best for them.

she wasn't doing it right. she technically starved herself

[emmyhirstwood]

Well of course you're going to have health problems on a vegan diet if you're restricting and not getting enough calories and nutrition lmao. There are so many healthy, energetic and happy vegans, it's your fault for not doing research and incorporating all the proper foods. these people need to do some research ugh

[dashagudym]

How can you even listen to doctors who're saying that bacon for breakfast is healthy? And then "but you should't eat too much of it". If you have to control something means it is not healthy. The doctors are only telling sweet lies to people who want to hear them.

[RavenVonK]

What I want to know is what the hell was she eating because she could have been vegan and all but if you're eating salads for breakfast lunch and dinner that's extreme and you're not going to get all the proteins and nutirents that you need. There are a lot of people who go vegan without knowing how or what to eat on a vegan diet.

Isn't for everyone. I am not with Low carbs or high carbs both have side effects down the line . Eat whatever you want but listen to your body
