Vegan transformation stories you should definitely check out: www.theengine2diet.com www.stoxpoker.com www.youtube.com www.drmcdougall.com drmcdougall.com In general, vegans and vegetarians are healthy people. We have lower incidences of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other ailments. If you have high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, or if you’re overweight… even if you have cancer, it’s well worth considering eliminating meat, dairy, and eggs from your diet.

Eat Right, Live Longer, by Neal Barnard, MD Food for Life, by Neal Barnard, MD The McDougall Plan, by John McDougall, MD Dr. Dean Ornishs Program for Reversing Heart Disease, by Dean Ornish, MD Some info about basic vegan nutrition: www.veganhealth.org www.vegansociety.com www.vrg.org My story is NOT dramatic: When I went vegan I didn’t notice any huge changes in my health except that it was much easier to maintain my weight. I had hoped for some weight-loss, but that requires more concentrated effort. However, weight maintenance as a vegan is easy. I don’t have to watch my calories to make sure I don’t gain weight, I just have to stay vegan to make sure I don’t gain weight 
But remember, I was already vegetarian when I made the switch and went vegan. So… already I was in better health than most American meat-eaters. Regarding asthma: I had hoped for some improvement in my …
I’m very seriously considering going vegan. Fillet mignon, fast food, and lunch meats are going to be hard to give up but I think I can do it. The hardest thing for me to give up will be sushi.
You are sadly misinformed. Mental “benefits”? YOu NEED long chain n-3 fatty acids epa and DHA. Look into a REAL scientist Dr. Bruce Holub University of Guelph.

The fish will supply you with it.
silly
Going Vegan really helped in my recovery from an eating disorder when I was very ill, so I can honestly say it saved my life. The food is just not nearly as overwhelming, and it gives you a sense of control without being unhealthy.
@yersi “I don’t understand what you mean by “being more in sync with your values”
When a person’s values are consistent with his or her own behavior (assuming one values life), then the personality is more unified and there exists congruence between the self, perceived self and desired self. With less division there is less internal conflict. Carl Rogers and Freud elaborated on integrating the personality for mental health.
Meat also activates the stress response and increases cortisol.
What’s propagandistic about it?
our a great example to others keep truckin
Hey @Ohnoyoudidntx (cute user name by the way) I definitely respect the choice to choose, heck, there are some countries that are hostile toward Christians and I am blessed to live in a country that is not. I just know what believing in Jesus did for me. By no means was I trying to shove anything down anyone’s throat, but just to share something. Hope you have a great day.
@vohnvohn
stop trying to shove your christianity into people’s throats.
she is atheist . stop trying to change her.
finding meaning in life is PERSONAL…u found it in christianity, but doesnt mean others will too. everyone has to find their own path.
Check out the video I made — The Truth About Nutrition.

You’ll learn a lot.
@DieBtv ha ha lol
@LeonSKennedy828 yes i totality agree with you
i luv bacon. vegans u suck! ha MEAT!
This is propaganda at its finest.
I totally agree that emotional health is linked to our physical well-being! I know for myself, being a Christian has helped me to find meaning in life and show me that life is bigger than myself. I know even C.S. Lewis, a great author, used to be an athiest and as he pursued to disprove Christianity, he became a Christian in his pursuit. I’m not telling you what to do, but I would say be open to explore a realm higher than yourself. God bless.
I really admire that you quit smoking and became vegan. I was vegetarian for one year and i completely agree that one feels better and balanced.. it is definitely not only about body health, because the body is so connected to the mind. I’d like to go back to be veggie, but its so hard in this environment im living in, though its one of my goals.
By the way, you’re beautiful : )
sorry, but I can’t be everything for everyone
I don’t understand what you mean by “being more in sync with your values”.
I’m considering vegetarianism to improve my concentration and mood, but I didn’t find your video very informative in that respect.
@kangarooelaine
I’m considering going vegan myself. I’m not sure why but I think I’m ripe, I guess. Just wondering how it will affect my creativity – As a writer that means a lot to me.
As far as religious / philosophical inclinations are concerned, when I become humble and put my ego aside, there is much that is clearer. So I don’t consider myself an atheist – rather open; there are curiously many answers to most questions. I pick and choose and try to build something that rings true
Thanks!
@eynshamrood = Let me read you your scientist’s Miranda rights:
- You have the right to keep your mind closed
- All you can think and talk about can be held against you when you apply for a grant
- You can choose to espouse no theory and then blame those who did when they are proven wrong (and say you always taught it was true when they are proven right).
So go peacefully eat a juicy, common denominator burger if vegetarianism is not for you, ok?
She’s a vegan and an atheist! I’m in love.lol!
And I note that you like to post the parts of the study that promote your agenda while ignoring (and lying about) the parts that don’t.
That isn’t objective. It is naked intellectual dishonesty and earns you nothing but contempt from intelligent people.
Have fun working with the lowest common denominator.
Yes. Scientific studies are typically made up of data. I know you prefer to make your judgements based on pure emotion & cult beliefs.
Science doesn’t work that way. It is why vegans like you damage your cause. Scientists, like me, take one look at your comments and are horrified at the stupidity you promote.
The “study” was a bunch a data. Only people can draw conclusions.
