Omnivore on a junk food diet: _None of my health problems are my fault._
Plant-based vegan poseur: _All my health issues and feeling bad are obviously caused by 'veganism.'_

[whatismylatestobsession]

Been vegan for over 8 years. Just got diagnosed with MS. One of my biggest concerns were, that they suggested I would no longer eat plant based. Haven't happened yet, and I really can't imagine ever eating animals again. Not even for health reasons.

[m.g.]

Imagine having one somewhat bad day in 10.5 years and thinking that is anything else than incredible.

[dkaulitz]

Diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and still not eating animals because i know they will not heal me. Still vegan for the animals

Yet another ex "vegan" I've never heard of

[JohnDoe-svv]

How do you know when someone's an "ex-vegan"? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

[petercunnington]

Once again, a person that is mixing up plant-based diets with veganism. You can eat nothing but chips, beer and oreos, and be vegan

Fellow happy healthy vegan here 👋 5 years in, living my best life in cognitive harmony

They always go by how they're "feeling" and "vibes", not blood tests and consulting professionals. Clickbait at best, utter lies at worst.

I'm commenting for the algorithm. Thanks for the video, Ryan.

I have never seen ANY peer-reviewed nutritional biochemistry research that shows that eating animal products reverses illnesses. I do get a chuckle from these "Valley Girl Inta-lek-chualls" with "like" as every third word and with "journey" and "reflected" thrown in for scientific kudos, haha.

8+ year vegan, blood work great, feel great now, (after my mental health issues over the last few years over the panic and fear disorder from covid/lockdown, and alcohol abuse to cope, Sober now, and back to body building after a 6 month break when I caught covid and panic disorder). Blood work STILL fine after drinking like a fish during lockdown, lol. Stay healthy homies, <3 the animals.

[Bloodrose]

I fail to understand how after over 10 years someone can't know the difference between veganism and plant based (what she refers to as a 'diet lifestyle)

[jdzeguru]

I suspect she was never actually vegan.

[CBenTri]

I have not yet finished the video but the symptoms she is describing she had on that one day sound a lot like she simply got too little calories the few days before. As someone who used to struggle intensely with an ED (which becoming vegan helped me out of that!! 4, 5 years going strong!), I get these symptoms very quickly if I have been having too little calories for a few days.

[Kristers_K]

The symptoms she described are a sign of caloric deficit, cravings especially, she was basically not eating enough calories days before. Quite remarkable people don't realize that.

If I changed my diet after every bad day I have, I would at least get to know many different diets. There are some religious groups who promote a vegan diet and people there probably are vegan their whole life. Musician Moby has been vegan since the 80s. Your body feeling weird for 1 day could be hormones, bad sleep, signs of an infection/flu, low blood sugar, whatever. Weird to come to specifically this conclusion.

[barbarafrings]

Health scare?
Because one day of minor symptoms?
I don't get that, but OK, whatever.

[VegaNorm]

So tiring having to deal with the anti-vegan brigade whose criticism are superficial and based on fallacy and 'what they've heard' Great job debunking it and spelling out the veganism definition each time - it looks like it's more important than ever!

[alienatedd]

i am not vegan, but it sounds like this ex-vegan had a day where she recognized symptoms of being in your “Luteal Phase” which happens monthly lol
