Plantbased for a year and a half now. Within the first three weeks of cutting diary I was waking up with zero congestion. Something I can’t even remember having experienced. All the mental gymnastics in the comments section making excuses to continue eating meat rather than realizing & accepting all the benefits of cutting dairy & meat consumption for our health, the environment and the animals. Bottom line is that animal agriculture is not sustainable. 8B people on the planet. Animal Ag is a leading contributor to the climate crisis, pandemics, antibiotic resistance, etc. These studies point out that you’re not missing anything by going plant-based. It’s lazy both physically & intellectually to not ditch dairy & meat.
I can't believe Don Layman said that about Prof Longo and his team's paper. As a PhD candidate in Biochemistry (with nutritional metabolomics as my focus) that shocks me to the core. Longo was 1 of the 50 most influential people in health care in 2018's Time magazine. His research on mTOR, longevity and age-related diseases is almost unparalleled.

I hope this, and "Real Science" channels like it, can get the attention our world needs. It is unfortunate algorithms tend to promote crazy, emotional (aka, non-science) stuff.
@@valerietomlin4363 I agree! It does seem like people care much more about the outrage and emotions rather than the actual evidence-based science. Many of these anti-science people and anti-vegans are very deceptive and use various methods to encourage engagement from skeptics.
@@alpha0090 thats exactly what i thought when i read his comment. "look at me, ive been doing cardio for 20 years and can beat people that are either just starting or are unfit, and since i strongly relate my personality to my food choice, that must be it!". talk about lunacy
@@alpha0090 check out Dotsie Bausch if you want a pro plant-based cyclist example. She also mentioned Mark Cavendish and his plant fueled comeback in a recent PBN interview.
Just a note, I went totally plant based in 2020, lost 30 lbs and a considerable amount of muscle mass,, VERY difficult to make gains in the gym on a plant based diet. I've since added more meat and dairy sources of protein and have gained back a good amount of the muscle that i lost.
How are the gains? I'm a 99.5% vegetarian, and I supplement with whey protein. I also eat a lot of fiber, and I think it's keeping me from gaining muscle as fast as I could. Recently came out of a bulk and I'm cutting/maintaining now, and all I know is I didn't feel good at the top of the bulk. It could be poor genetics that are slowing my gains, but I don't really care anymore. I'm happy with my physique, I'm just gonna lose a bit more weight then keep lifting at maintenance. Everyone in the weightlifting scene talks about goals and what not. I never had any goals though, I just like going to the gym to grind. I don't need to be any bigger. It's too much work trying to eat 4300 calories a day.
@@limitisillusion7 Hey, thanks for the question! I train mostly for strength and calisthenics skills instead of hypertrophy, don't count calories, and maingain instead of doing bulk/cut cycles, so I haven't been putting on the most mass that I could. That said, I've still put on a pretty decent amount of muscle, am visibly in good shape, and am very happy with my progress. I'm not sure what your diet would look like, but I focus on trying to have a protein source with every meal (think some form of soy, lentils, beans, I drink soy milk often) and I also supplement around 60g on exercise days with an Orgain pea protein powder shake. This has given me the results I want in terms of strength development and it's very easy to stay low body fat % when you're vegan and eat mostly whole foods. Something else I find (drawing from anecdotal experience) is that most people tend to overestimate the amount of protein you need to see good (not optimal) results, but YMMV of course depending on a number of factors; just want to put that idea out there. Do some experimenting and see what works!
Thank you Sir for this channel. The quality, honesty and richness of your videos is unmatchable. It helps us a lot in this battle for healthy decision making. Thank you.
Actual deserve a million views. Keep up the good work! Call out bad science and those influencers spreding false information to serve their own perogative.
@@robertcohen8554 Very true. The majority are too obsessed with getting what various industries are marketing to be knowledgeable about how animal farming is contributing to climate change.
Banger vid as always. Can't wait for that interview to drop later this week. I really appreciate you digging into these issues. I don't have the time, or the expertise, so it is really helpful.
Thanks! Hamilton is so great. I so respect him saying the biochemical theory is one thing, but let's go through the ginormous hassle and expense of conducting well-controlled experiments on humans. Not easy.
By far the best scientific WFPB channel. You make a real effort to understand the opposition's points, having read so many books on low carb etc. I think this is what allows you to debunk their claims so well.
Thanks! I don't like debunking because it makes me feel like a jerk, but I feel bad for the scientists who are grinding away at doing great research, which is a TON of work and takes a lot of education. Compare what Hamilton has to do to organize 150 frail elderly people for 16 weeks and carefully supervise their workouts, food and do all those measurements on them, to doing a video like What I've Learned produced. There's like a 1000x difference in effort and expertise required, but a million people see What I've Learned's video and maybe 200 see Hamilton's paper. 😢
@@PlantChompers That's why we need people like you to help communicate this research to ordinary people like me. For someone with no education in nutrition or medicine, it's one thing to read a research paper, but another to really understand it. A paper might make a claim that sounds plausible to the layman, but would instantly trigger the bs detector in anyone knowledgeable in the field.
Thanks @queertales 😁 I find that with most papers, I can't fully understand them until I speak to an author. There is so much that goes behind original research like Hamilton is doing, and he has so little space to write about it. It takes me a very long time to fully understand just one paper and there is a firehose of them coming out all the time, but I think only a few really matter, so I spend a LOT of time with those few.
You need more subscribers and I believe you will get them soon. You provide a wealth of scientific facts on nutrition and this channel and it’s content is seriously underrated. Excellent job Sir.
I like that you record while out for a walk & exercising, it made me get outside for a walk today. You set a good example even while recording your videos!
It’s been a long time since I’ve found a YT channel that draws me in with such compelling evidence based content….. bravo my friend. Really enjoying your channel !
The effort you put in is remarkable and it really dwarfs the ones of RUclipsrs that have serveral times your subscription count. Thank you very much for shedding some well researched light on this topic!
Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud. Most people are too lazy and unconscious and cannot be bothered to study for themselves so they prefer to listen to anyone who parrots the talking points that validates their preconceived notions. Fascinating stuff. Climate change is real and the Covid vaccine is good 🤪
@@realnotes just seeing what points specifically popped out at you. We all have different perspectives, especially if we choose to be intellectually honest.
I study Nutrition and Health in university and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching this video. I really appreciate the fact that you interpret studies correctly and also use references in the description. You have earned my subscription!
Really loved this video. I've been vegan for about three years and not only being vegan, but learning how to be a heathy vegan, has changed my life SO much. Forever grateful to people like you who work on clearing up misinformation out there.
Awesome vid, I subscribed. People need to see videos like this, even if the only takeaway is that studies can be misleading and that there can be numerous ways to interpret scientific studies.
@@livefreeallways we are separated from those relatives by about ten million years. We have also been making tools for over a million years, and those tools seem to be predominantly produced to facilitate acquisition and processing of meat.
Thanks for shedding light on how the debate is being carried out in social media. People seem to be looking for quotes that support their preconceived ideas, and then call everyone who disagrees with them stupid. It seems to be almost deliberately polarising.
One thing to keep in mind is the beef industry is proud of the $8 million in funding/year they have for online influencers, including people who will just post positive comments about beef and negative about veganism. They are also proud of the 21,000 people they have trained in beef advocacy. www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/03/beef-industry-public-relations-messaging-machine
This channel is a miracle, the science is understandable proof worthy, the host asks the most perfect questions (no other channel tackles). I've been vegan for 8 yeras now, cheated at times with eggs because of vitamin deficiency but continued learning and went 'back in fully vegan, feels great....Thank you Plant Chompers
I agree! Chris is a wonderful example of combining real scientific rigor with humanity. We are lucky to have access to his generous and good-natured postings! Bravo!
commenting for the algorithm b/c I cannot believe you don't have sooo many more subscribers! I will have to come back to this later to finish it-it's so jam packed with info. Love the presentation so much.
So, since we’re not true carnivores, we have to cook up and season our meat, which produces a huge amount of carcinogens, versus true carnivores, like tigers that eat their meat completely raw.
Omg, I really love your channel. It's so hard to weedout the bad information these days. Thank you very much for all your effort to make these videos. 🙏
I love that you take the time to unpack the false claims of the What I've Learned channel. For me, this is the single most important YT resource for the WFPBD. Thanks from NZ!
Thanks! That clip of his was a masterpiece of misinformation, making it look like AI and advanced instrumentation was providing a stream of data that shows 40% of us are not even hitting the minimum protein requirements. There were data sound effects, outlines of people... He apparently has a solid graphics budget and talent.
I've watched What I've Learned for years and his videos are often full of bias, especially when he picks his points and references. I think a lot of people fall for it because it makes for a good and *seemingly credible* video.
@@someguy2135 It was funded by the 90,000 centenarians in the USA right now that do consume meat and centenarians don't lie but all these so called studies may lie so forget the studies and who they are funded by.
Chris you are such a fine mentor, human and RUclipsr thank you for all of these. I've been highly interested in food being the good medicine vs the bad poison if we make can only make smart choices. Taking your classes on RUclips form has been enlightening and a great reminder to make those wise changes in diet now. Your difficult story as a vulnerable child and talking about your values are also enlightening. I am pleased to take your message to the streets and talk about the food science as an informed lay person. You have empowered me, inspired me too. I've never loved vegetables more in my life than now. Thank you Chris for being you, I feel like I know you and your lovely family. Your big fan in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Mark Lavallee
I am fairly new to your channel and absolutely love it! I started eating more vegetarian in 2006 after a health scare (possible MS) and went whole food plant based in 2017 when I received my official MS diagnosis. I appreciate your wisdom and thoughtfulness. Keep up the good work!
@@PlantChompers I would love to see a video about the connection between plant fibers, the diminished microbiomes in the western world, IBS and SIBO, and FODMAPS. There was a study on mice that found after 2 generations on a low fiber diet the microbiome could not recover. Traditional cultures have very high levels of fiber-eating bacteria compared to western cultures. Two of the many extinct species, L. Rueteri and B. Infantis, help protect the gut against IBS and SIBO. I just see so many people try plant-based and they get too gassy and they conclude that plants and beans are evil. But it might be the compromised microbiome that causes the problem. And knowing about FODMAPS can help people navigate that territory. Like, the mice, our microbiome cannot recover on a high fiber diet - we just get dysbiosis. But a little knowledge about FODMAPS can really help someone. Anyway, thanks for the time you give to this. I super enjoyed every minute!
Wow, this is super helpful to think through with all of the information available out there … most of which denigrates plant proteins. Always appreciate your perspective and balanced consideration of the different sides of the discussion. I so wish your channel got more subscribers and views as yours an important viewpoint.
How to tell in this jungle of information and science what is right? I don’t have the stamina to check all the data like you do, but checking your info one does get a good idea how thoroughly you do your job… and even how biased all of us are, you still make the effort to stay objective. This truly promotes trust! Thanks so much for your great, informative and entertaining work!!! Looking forward as always to whatever next will come!
@@shellderp Sounds like a you problem. American dietetic association says a well planned vegan diet is suitable for all stages of life and there’s a large scale UK study where they followed vegans for I think at least a decade I don’t remember the name of it it’s in Destiny’s 2nd debate with Vegan Gains
@@KurokamiNajimi I can only confirm that it works… I can count many health improvements and also clearly visible results when I went plant based (although I was never overweight). Some are immediate, others come over time and having been (whole food) plant based for years now I see how others around me are aging much faster.
@@juliawls Yeah when I started early on it was great but my diet sucks now bc where I live they started selling a bunch of old stock. Can’t get fresh lentils, hemp seeds, protein powder so I’m fucked
I love all of your content especially how long the health influencerers live. Its such breath of fresh air to hear your conclusions and the way you get to them❤❤❤ thank you so very much. I will certainly enjoy any of your new hit parade videos. I feel leaner and fresher every time i see them. Enjoy your food Chris and have even more fun with the next one Mr Nailer❤❤❤
Just found and binge watched a lot of plantchompers vids, this channel is very informative and seriously underrated, thank you for the information, it’s a minefield out there when it comes to what to eat/drink
Just absolutely amazing video! Subscribed! Thanks for working so hard to share the truth. I'm getting off of a keto diet and feel bamboozled for having been sold on the idea that red meat consumption was good. I hope your video reaches more people like me and hopefully the meat industry's lies stop hurting people!
I’m not a vegan but I have been in the past. I love your channel so much. So informative. I’m a biomedical scientist and I do keto for specific health problems and was the only diet that drastically reduced my alcohol cravings. I was an alcoholic from a young age and everyone in my family has died from a drug overdose or the consequences of their alcoholism. I wish the keto community followed the science more. It gets me down what it is associated with. I do a Mediterranean style keto that is mostly vegetarian and source my dairy and eggs from sustainable farms. Keep up the brilliant work.
I gave up resistance training many years ago when I became vegan. I couldn’t maintain my strength and was losing weight. I thought it was because of poor quality of protein. Years later in retrospect and after learning about nutrition, I realize it was the lack of calories, not quality of protein. Fiber was filling me up to fast! No longer eating dense calories. Today when people ask me how I am able to stay fit, I tell them, “just eat plants!”
@Jordan Axxe I don't care about vegan juiceheads or fake vegans. I'm interested in the science as a natural. Again, please explain to me where there's evidence of vegan protein being higher or same quality as meat protein. Can't find it in your comment or this video. In fact, can't find it on any research on nutrition.
@@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech There’s a 2021 analysis called high protein plant based diet versus a protein matched omnivorous diet you can look up. Alpha Destiny is a real natural who has been plant based (as in 99% plants not “vegan) for about 3.5 years now and I’d say his achievements speak for themselves. And like I told another commenter not sure why you’d even look to studies opposed to real world experience. If you tried getting all your protein form plants and it didn’t work then we should look at exactly what you were eating and total calories
Yeah, shocking. 😱 I asked Hamilton about that and he said in their hospital (the biggest in Latin America) they are installing some exercise equipment for patients like hand cycles above the bed so patients can at least do something.
@@someguy2135 All you need is isometrics if equipment is scarce and the individual is restricted with his/her training. There are three phases of a resistance exercise -- concentric, isometric and eccentric. Each provides its own benefits and isometrics can be done pretty much anywhere with something as simple as a towel or rope, planks, wall squats.
Just found your channel and subbed. I've been plant based for 13 years and vegan for 12. I know all this stuff but I never get tired of hearing the truth.
Love your work Chris, this is great, production quality, been a while since something's motivated me since the Game Changers! You should consider making a juicy documentary, call up some companies expose them 😅!
Thank you so much. Every month I hear from someone (not in a particular diet camp) who says he'll fund a documentary if I will make it. Whew. Big job. A few years ago I helped with one called General Magic, which became the #1 documentary and included in in-flight entertainment until Game Changers came out. That was a 4 year project and a lot of marketing after.
I switched to a plant-based diet around 6 years ago after weeding out everything that made me feel like crap (and coffee this year, sadly...). The criticism was abundant... When I was an omnivore (LOTS of red meat and chicken as main proteins) I lived next to my gym and went about 5 days/week. As plant-based, I lived in a different location and had a different work schedule so I could only enjoy long workout sessions every other week (probably 4x every 2 weeks). Feeling/looking healthy was a given but I didn't expect my performance to be so much better. My squat went up ~100lbs and I used to struggle with 315 for deadlifts but getting up around 355+ for reps was easy and progression was quick. I also did a lot of heavier kettlebell work (carries and swings with 70lbs in each hand and 100lbs for single KB work). Not amazing numbers for gym rats but I work out in my driveway just to stay healthy. I'm no bodybuilder or powerlifter. Correlation isn't causation and a lot of things changed outside of my diet but even if I could comfortably eat animal products I wouldn't touch them because my life has improved in every way. YMMV. A vegan/plant-based diet is easy to screw up, which I suspect is a contributing factor in people saying their health worsened.
@Christopher Stuart I'm not vegan because I don't follow the ethos. For instance, I have no problem wearing animal products. I DO eat nothing but plant-based foods, hence the label I've given to my diet. My moves were made for dietary health reasons, not ethical ones 👍🚀 As long as we all listen to our bodies and do what feels best, we're doing it right (at least in terms of health). Small caveat: doing what TASTES best can oftentimes be confused as something that is actually good 🤣 If someone is keto, carnivore, vegan, etc. I respect their choices if they've actually found what works for them and they aren't just pushing an agenda.
@Christopher Stuart I respect your strategy! Understand that if animal products sat well with me I'd be eating them. I used to eat 4-6 eggs a day... one of the foods that caused the most inflammation for me. You're being mindful about your diet and adjusting accordingly. I don't think there's a single best option for everyone.
@@cstuartdc I've heard several people describe what you're describing in my work as a dietitian and in my private life. I'm wondering the same as you, has the microbiome adapted to a animal-heavy diet? Is it harder for some to adapt back to plant-heavy diets? Has the body decreased it's own production of several important substances that it should be able to produce itself, since it's been getting it daily from animal foods? If I were counseling you on diet I would encourage you to try again, but go slow and focus on the IBS-friendly alternatives. Increase the whole plant intake slowly, week by week, not eliminating any animal foods until 90% of your energy is coming from plants without causing you more bowel symptoms. I hope you find your way to better health!
I was vegan for two years and felt like shit. Nowadays I eat red meat all the time and low carb and high quality dairy. I have never felt better than I do now. I am also a b blood type
Thank you for this video. I love your content. I eat whole-foods, plant-based and discovering your channel has been amazing for me as I'm also very interested in science, as a hobby, mind you, but I love the way you deal with the scientific facts behind your discussions in a clear, straight-forward manner that makes it easy to digest. I also love that you provide references as well as I do, very occasionally, venture into trying to understand some of the research. Thanks again.
The most interesting part for me was the one on muscle loss during bed rest. I've allways been sceptical to idea of people loosing muscle mass just by aging. Thanks for the great walkthrough and the good references!
Yeah, that was the most interesting part for me too. I wonder though, can only 50 percent as he said be built back no matter what we do? I'm a bit confused on that part.
@@VeganLinked I don't think that is the case. The main limit to how much we can regain or increase is our motivation! ;) I believe 50% is was what usually is regained, without effort, after a period of muscle loss due to immobilization and that number will be lower in aged compared to young people. But I do believe that the main problem is not ageing, but how little we use (challange) our muscles in daily life. Most of us need to keep doing exercise for strength and muscle gain, and increase the challange over time as we adapt to it, to compensate for the lack of challanges in our daily lives.
I also found that fascinating, though it made me worry a bit if I'm losing muscle by sleeping too much (I sleep 9-11 hours most days). Though I do strength training with dumbbells at home.
Such an amazing video! You helped me write a college paper. I love the information you provided on Japan's history with the USDA. This helped me to bridge the gap in my argument against Coronado (UN REP) who seemingly single handed upended EAT PHD. So THANK YOU!
People have been eating thousands of years , all of a sudden we don’t know what to eat . Eat Whole Foods , meat wasn’t always available, fruits wasn’t always available, vegetables wasn’t always available, eat a balanced organic diet , not processed
The meat we were eating in the past wasn't factory farmed. Neither was the dairy/cheese. These are modern things which are probably contributing to the plethora of health issues we're seeing today. That's the value proposition of eating less meat...you reduce whatever of that process enters your body
I am not vegan, I realize the research is majority against my lifestyle, but honestly I love chicken, fish, and beef and I don't think I'm ready to make a change. With that being said I thoroughly enjoyed the video and am so happy somebody actually bothered to check references, most people nowadays just believe everything at face value. What I learned is a great example of misconstruing scientific literature.
Thanks again for your effort to produce this highly informative and entertaining video. I struggled to cooked beans initially when I first started. Now i use electric pressure cooker to cook beans and lentils in bulk and store them in small package in the freezer for daily use. It a convenient way for me to increase my protein intake from a whole plant source.
@@happyapple4269 The bad smell comes from sulfur containing aminos in animal products. Vegan farts don't smell. Dogs smell the same methionine to detect cancer, which needs a huge amount of methionine to grow fast.
Thank you for another informative and entertaining video. So glad to see a fellow Brazilian being cited. One note, the picture you selected to show the University of São Paulo is actually a museum :)
You know, doing a second look at that museum photo, it seems Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica are using it as the university of Sao Paulo pic for their sites. They say it's on the campus. Is that true? www.britannica.com/place/University-of-Sao-Paulo
I've been using pumpkin seeds in my smoothies as an alternative to protein powders. Nice to know there are no (potential) contaminants from commercial protein powders that way.
I love pumpkin seeds! At one time I was worried about the fat from nuts and seeds but Walter Willett makes a compelling case for their health, as do the Seventh Day Adventist studies, among many others.
Yet another video binged today haha! I'm soon going to run into the problem of running out of your content to watch! What a sad day that'll be. But today is not that day. Loved the video and I enjoy being informed, thanks a bunch!
As a former high school biology teacher who occasionally tried to add a few nutritional insights to the biology classes I taught, I am THRILLED to see Chris MacAskill pull together and offer such high quality presentations on nutrition, with lots of good-natured humor. His videos are a breath of fresh air. Hats off to him for his wonderful, in-depth research and pursuit of world authorities like Hamilton Roschel! Unfortunately, mainstream media will often cover a single new scientific paper on nutrition very superficially and treat it like Gospel without giving any context on what the WHO and other independent science-based authorities already have published! Just as vigilance is the eternal price of liberty, it seems that vigilance (like Chris's) is the eternal price of knowing the truth what is really going on in our country and in our diets, where corporate lobbyists do so well at getting governmental agencies to subsidize beef and corn and support the status quo. And where restaurants pile on high fat, high salt foods in huge quantities to compete for customers despite the health risks. Case in point--how can Krispy Kreme do so well when doughnuts are known to be so unhealthful in the long run? I think I will skip Krispy Kreme next time I need breakfast on the run and instead go to the local bagel shop. I hope teachers will use Chris's fantastic videos in their classes for all ages!
Since watching your video the first time, I became aware of Layman when doing a deep dive on protein. I concluded he was not a credible source I would follow. Watching your assessment and that he endorsed 'what I've learned' makes me pleased I arrived at the right decision. No wonder I tend to watch your videos more that once !! Great job @PlantChompers !!!
Thank you for covering this topic! When I watched the what I've learned video, I knew some of it had to be misinformation, but did not do the work of checking the sources. Thank you!
In my country ( Cameroon, where Ngannou was born and raised by the way) animal sources of protein are so expensive, so athletes and guys doing heavy physical jobs like digging sand barely eat meat, fish or milk! But those guys are so jacked, muscular, heavy and damn strong. They rely on red beans, with sweet potatoes and avocado almost religiously. We’ve known for generations in our villages that regular meat hurts and beans make workers stronger, more endurant.. Now you’ve brought the scientific proof of our common knowledge
Wow you should share about this. Most people around me think meat makes you strong. I had to keep rolling my eyes. People are so brain washed by marketing and advertising yet think they know. Hope you'll make a tik tok video of the athletes and guys doing heavy jobs and their diet.
The algorithm hits bullseye sometimes! Great video. Already watched a couple more and subscribed. I’m waiting for the whole interview with the Brazilian researcher.
At 1:26 you said “The stakes are high: Alzheimer’s, cancer, a wrecked planet.” For a split second I thought you were going to say “a wrecked…ile dysfunction.” 😂
Hahaha! Yesterday on Instagram I noticed that Gemma Newman, a beautiful but conservative physician, posted a video with her smiling and asking, "want a firmer erection?" I did a triple-take, thinking Instagram had let porn into my feed. I ended up getting a laugh and thinking I could never say anything like that. My grandkids watch my videos. 🧒🏼 👦🏼
I love that you did this video. Doug Graham who is the writer of 80/10/10 says that lifting weights builds muscle not taking protein. Also I think it was in his book where he talks about the composition of mother's milk and how much a baby grows during its first 1 to 2 years. Mother's milk is composed of 80% carbs 10% protein and 10% fat which is what most fruits and vegetables are composed of. Why do we think as we get older that we need protein. It would be awesome to see an experiment done where vegan bodybuilders like Nimai Delgado and Derek Simnett purposely take on a diet that has low protein high carb just like the composition of mother's milk and see if they lose any muscle mass.
I'm high fruit raw plant based (some seeds, nuts and soft leafy greens) , take no supplements, and at 54 I'm in better health than when I was 24. Most people assume I'm in my 30's and I have more energy than friends that are much younger than me!
It's pretty clear that you're doing quite a lot of work behind the scenes.. you're videos are always COMPLETE..AND VERY INFORMATIVE
Thanks! 😁
It was the amount of effort to review and read the full context of studies that got me. Earned another subscriber, much respect from Fiji 🇫🇯
Plantbased for a year and a half now. Within the first three weeks of cutting diary I was waking up with zero congestion. Something I can’t even remember having experienced.

I can't believe Don Layman said that about Prof Longo and his team's paper. As a PhD candidate in Biochemistry (with nutritional metabolomics as my focus) that shocks me to the core. Longo was 1 of the 50 most influential people in health care in 2018's Time magazine. His research on mTOR, longevity and age-related diseases is almost unparalleled.

How are the gains? I'm a 99.5% vegetarian, and I supplement with whey protein. I also eat a lot of fiber, and I think it's keeping me from gaining muscle as fast as I could. Recently came out of a bulk and I'm cutting/maintaining now, and all I know is I didn't feel good at the top of the bulk. It could be poor genetics that are slowing my gains, but I don't really care anymore. I'm happy with my physique, I'm just gonna lose a bit more weight then keep lifting at maintenance.
Everyone in the weightlifting scene talks about goals and what not. I never had any goals though, I just like going to the gym to grind. I don't need to be any bigger. It's too much work trying to eat 4300 calories a day.
@@limitisillusion7 Hey, thanks for the question!
I train mostly for strength and calisthenics skills instead of hypertrophy, don't count calories, and maingain instead of doing bulk/cut cycles, so I haven't been putting on the most mass that I could.
That said, I've still put on a pretty decent amount of muscle, am visibly in good shape, and am very happy with my progress.
I'm not sure what your diet would look like, but I focus on trying to have a protein source with every meal (think some form of soy, lentils, beans, I drink soy milk often) and I also supplement around 60g on exercise days with an Orgain pea protein powder shake.
This has given me the results I want in terms of strength development and it's very easy to stay low body fat % when you're vegan and eat mostly whole foods.
Something else I find (drawing from anecdotal experience) is that most people tend to overestimate the amount of protein you need to see good (not optimal) results, but YMMV of course depending on a number of factors; just want to put that idea out there. Do some experimenting and see what works!
Same here....@yohan
Thank you Sir for this channel. The quality, honesty and richness of your videos is unmatchable. It helps us a lot in this battle for healthy decision making. Thank you.
Actual deserve a million views. Keep up the good work! Call out bad science and those influencers spreding false information to serve their own perogative.
Proof all you people do is obsess over views and likes 😂
shame you only have so few subscribers. This is one of the best content I have seen, thank you for your great work!
Be sure to link to his videos to help more people discover this hidden gem!
Intelligent humans are a rare breed on this Earth, that's why.
@@robertcohen8554 Very true. The majority are too obsessed with getting what various industries are marketing to be knowledgeable about how animal farming is contributing to climate change.
Banger vid as always. Can't wait for that interview to drop later this week. I really appreciate you digging into these issues. I don't have the time, or the expertise, so it is really helpful.
Thanks! Hamilton is so great. I so respect him saying the biochemical theory is one thing, but let's go through the ginormous hassle and expense of conducting well-controlled experiments on humans. Not easy.
Chris, I appreciate your content so much that I go back and watch numerous times months after I watched the first time.
By far the best scientific WFPB channel. You make a real effort to understand the opposition's points, having read so many books on low carb etc. I think this is what allows you to debunk their claims so well.
Thanks! I don't like debunking because it makes me feel like a jerk, but I feel bad for the scientists who are grinding away at doing great research, which is a TON of work and takes a lot of education. Compare what Hamilton has to do to organize 150 frail elderly people for 16 weeks and carefully supervise their workouts, food and do all those measurements on them, to doing a video like What I've Learned produced. There's like a 1000x difference in effort and expertise required, but a million people see What I've Learned's video and maybe 200 see Hamilton's paper. 😢
You will NEVER convince those morons.
@@PlantChompers so true! As a physicist I feel the same 🤬
@@PlantChompers That's why we need people like you to help communicate this research to ordinary people like me. For someone with no education in nutrition or medicine, it's one thing to read a research paper, but another to really understand it. A paper might make a claim that sounds plausible to the layman, but would instantly trigger the bs detector in anyone knowledgeable in the field.
Thanks @queertales 😁 I find that with most papers, I can't fully understand them until I speak to an author. There is so much that goes behind original research like Hamilton is doing, and he has so little space to write about it. It takes me a very long time to fully understand just one paper and there is a firehose of them coming out all the time, but I think only a few really matter, so I spend a LOT of time with those few.
You need more subscribers and I believe you will get them soon. You provide a wealth of scientific facts on nutrition and this channel and it’s content is seriously underrated. Excellent job Sir.
I like that you record while out for a walk & exercising, it made me get outside for a walk today. You set a good example even while recording your videos!
It’s been a long time since I’ve found a YT channel that draws me in with such compelling evidence based content….. bravo my friend. Really enjoying your channel !
The effort you put in is remarkable and it really dwarfs the ones of RUclipsrs that have serveral times your subscription count. Thank you very much for shedding some well researched light on this topic!
I am so disillusioned with all the misinformation we are fed. Thanks Chris for doing the work most of us can't.
Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud.
Most people are too lazy and unconscious and cannot be bothered to study for themselves so they prefer to listen to anyone who parrots the talking points that validates their preconceived notions.
Fascinating stuff.
Climate change is real and the Covid vaccine is good 🤪
What kind of misinformation do you mean specifically?
@@rickknight3823 Did you not watch the video? Or did d you want to know if I actually watched the video? Or are you trolling?
@@realnotes just seeing what points specifically popped out at you. We all have different perspectives, especially if we choose to be intellectually honest.
@@rickknight3823 I’m not taking your bait. You have an agenda. Why not ask this of everyone in general comments and try fishing there?
I study Nutrition and Health in university and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching this video. I really appreciate the fact that you interpret studies correctly and also use references in the description. You have earned my subscription!
Thanks! Great major. Where?
@@PlantChompers In the Netherlands :)
So whats the truth about nutrition?
Dude, your channel as absolutely brilliant.
This channel has been hidden deep within the RUclips algorithm, I see. I should have been discovered this. Glad I found it. Great work here.
Dude. Thank you. I wish you all the views in the world.
One channel I can’t watch at 1.5x or higher speeds because it is packed with information! 👍👌🙏
😁
Really loved this video. I've been vegan for about three years and not only being vegan, but learning how to be a heathy vegan, has changed my life SO much. Forever grateful to people like you who work on clearing up misinformation out there.
Why do lots of vegans develop whole ranges of health problems?
@@Kitiwake why do a lot of people on other diets get health problems. ?
"Vegan" could mean lettuce or Oreos
Thanks again Chris for full reference list with links
Awesome vid, I subscribed. People need to see videos like this, even if the only takeaway is that studies can be misleading and that there can be numerous ways to interpret scientific studies.
Our closest relatives are mostly frugivores with a small amount of animals and even eggs.
@@livefreeallways we are separated from those relatives by about ten million years. We have also been making tools for over a million years, and those tools seem to be predominantly produced to facilitate acquisition and processing of meat.
Thanks for shedding light on how the debate is being carried out in social media. People seem to be looking for quotes that support their preconceived ideas, and then call everyone who disagrees with them stupid. It seems to be almost deliberately polarising.
One thing to keep in mind is the beef industry is proud of the $8 million in funding/year they have for online influencers, including people who will just post positive comments about beef and negative about veganism. They are also proud of the 21,000 people they have trained in beef advocacy.

The sheer amount of effort that went into this video 👏🏼 wow
This channel is a miracle, the science is understandable proof worthy, the host asks the most perfect questions (no other channel tackles). I've been vegan for 8 yeras now, cheated at times with eggs because of vitamin deficiency but continued learning and went 'back in fully vegan, feels great....Thank you Plant Chompers
I agree! Chris is a wonderful example of combining real scientific rigor with humanity. We are lucky to have access to his generous and good-natured postings! Bravo!
Cheated at times with eggs cos your stupid fashion fad diet that NEEDS supplementation of B12 isn't fit for humans.... . End of.
commenting for the algorithm b/c I cannot believe you don't have sooo many more subscribers! I will have to come back to this later to finish it-it's so jam packed with info. Love the presentation so much.
So, since we’re not true carnivores, we have to cook up and season our meat, which produces a huge amount of carcinogens, versus true carnivores, like tigers that eat their meat completely raw.
@@mariaespiritu9512 we do not have to cook meat, nor do we need to season meat.
That might be the best video I've ever seen in my life! Much love from Canada.❤ thank you. New subscriber
Omg, I really love your channel. It's so hard to weedout the bad information these days. Thank you very much for all your effort to make these videos. 🙏
Love listening to this channel while working to improve my knowledge on nutrition
I love that you take the time to unpack the false claims of the What I've Learned channel. For me, this is the single most important YT resource for the WFPBD. Thanks from NZ!
Thanks! That clip of his was a masterpiece of misinformation, making it look like AI and advanced instrumentation was providing a stream of data that shows 40% of us are not even hitting the minimum protein requirements. There were data sound effects, outlines of people... He apparently has a solid graphics budget and talent.
@@PlantChompers Maybe funded (under the table?) by the meat lobby.
I've watched What I've Learned for years and his videos are often full of bias, especially when he picks his points and references. I think a lot of people fall for it because it makes for a good and *seemingly credible* video.
@@novakevin you are literally falling for exactly that in this video. You can't get more biased information than a vegan channel
@@someguy2135 It was funded by the 90,000 centenarians in the USA right now that do consume meat and centenarians don't lie but all these so called studies may lie so forget the studies and who they are funded by.
Chris you are such a fine mentor, human and RUclipsr thank you for all of these. I've been highly interested in food being the good medicine vs the bad poison if we make can only make smart choices. Taking your classes on RUclips form has been enlightening and a great reminder to make those wise changes in diet now. Your difficult story as a vulnerable child and talking about your values are also enlightening. I am pleased to take your message to the streets and talk about the food science as an informed lay person. You have empowered me, inspired me too. I've never loved vegetables more in my life than now. Thank you Chris for being you, I feel like I know you and your lovely family. Your big fan in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Mark Lavallee
Looking forward to the whole interview, sounds like it will be super interesting!
Thanks for the video
The amount of work and investigation in this video is crazy. Awesome job sir!!!
Love the amount of data, I learned so much viewing your videos 💯
HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 12k SUBS, Your channel is so good It reminds me a lot of the Adam Raguseas channel. 10/10
I am fairly new to your channel and absolutely love it! I started eating more vegetarian in 2006 after a health scare (possible MS) and went whole food plant based in 2017 when I received my official MS diagnosis. I appreciate your wisdom and thoughtfulness. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! How is your MS now?
@@PlantChompers thanks for asking! It is stable. I have some symptoms but they are very manageable.
How could one RUclips channel be so good? I sincerely admire your ability to counter popular brainwashing. Bravo!!!!!!!
Thanks! Your comment was right next to one saying I’m smug and arrogant. 😳
@@PlantChompers I would love to see a video about the connection between plant fibers, the diminished microbiomes in the western world, IBS and SIBO, and FODMAPS. There was a study on mice that found after 2 generations on a low fiber diet the microbiome could not recover. Traditional cultures have very high levels of fiber-eating bacteria compared to western cultures. Two of the many extinct species, L. Rueteri and B. Infantis, help protect the gut against IBS and SIBO. I just see so many people try plant-based and they get too gassy and they conclude that plants and beans are evil. But it might be the compromised microbiome that causes the problem. And knowing about FODMAPS can help people navigate that territory. Like, the mice, our microbiome cannot recover on a high fiber diet - we just get dysbiosis. But a little knowledge about FODMAPS can really help someone. Anyway, thanks for the time you give to this. I super enjoyed every minute!
Wow, this is super helpful to think through with all of the information available out there … most of which denigrates plant proteins. Always appreciate your perspective and balanced consideration of the different sides of the discussion. I so wish your channel got more subscribers and views as yours an important viewpoint.
I am thankful that you talk about things others won't.
How to tell in this jungle of information and science what is right? I don’t have the stamina to check all the data like you do, but checking your info one does get a good idea how thoroughly you do your job… and even how biased all of us are, you still make the effort to stay objective. This truly promotes trust! Thanks so much for your great, informative and entertaining work!!! Looking forward as always to whatever next will come!
You don’t need studies, just switch to 100% plant based protein and you’ll see if it works. Spoiler it does
@@KurokamiNajimi spoiler it nearly killed me
@@shellderp Sounds like a you problem. American dietetic association says a well planned vegan diet is suitable for all stages of life and there’s a large scale UK study where they followed vegans for I think at least a decade I don’t remember the name of it it’s in Destiny’s 2nd debate with Vegan Gains
@@KurokamiNajimi I can only confirm that it works… I can count many health improvements and also clearly visible results when I went plant based (although I was never overweight). Some are immediate, others come over time and having been (whole food) plant based for years now I see how others around me are aging much faster.
@@juliawls Yeah when I started early on it was great but my diet sucks now bc where I live they started selling a bunch of old stock. Can’t get fresh lentils, hemp seeds, protein powder so I’m fucked
I love all of your content especially how long the health influencerers live. Its such breath of fresh air to hear your conclusions and the way you get to them❤❤❤ thank you so very much. I will certainly enjoy any of your new hit parade videos. I feel leaner and fresher every time i see them. Enjoy your food Chris and have even more fun with the next one Mr Nailer❤❤❤
Another great and well researched video! Looking forward to watching the full interview.
Man this channel fills me with such good positive feelings. Please never stop 💚
Back in a plant based life and feeling better for it. Glad I stumbled across your channel
Just found and binge watched a lot of plantchompers vids, this channel is very informative and seriously underrated, thank you for the information, it’s a minefield out there when it comes to what to eat/drink
Just absolutely amazing video! Subscribed! Thanks for working so hard to share the truth. I'm getting off of a keto diet and feel bamboozled for having been sold on the idea that red meat consumption was good. I hope your video reaches more people like me and hopefully the meat industry's lies stop hurting people!
Yours is a wonderful channel. You deserve a far wider audience. Great job!
I’m a dietetics student and I’m
fascinated with your channel, binge watching your videos lol
I’m not a vegan but I have been in the past. I love your channel so much. So informative. I’m a biomedical scientist and I do keto for specific health problems and was the only diet that drastically reduced my alcohol cravings. I was an alcoholic from a young age and everyone in my family has died from a drug overdose or the consequences of their alcoholism.
I wish the keto community followed the science more. It gets me down what it is associated with.
I do a Mediterranean style keto that is mostly vegetarian and source my dairy and eggs from sustainable farms. Keep up the brilliant work.
Which science should they be following, exactly?
I gave up resistance training many years ago when I became vegan. I couldn’t maintain my strength and was losing weight. I thought it was because of poor quality of protein. Years later in retrospect and after learning about nutrition, I realize it was the lack of calories, not quality of protein. Fiber was filling me up to fast! No longer eating dense calories. Today when people ask me how I am able to stay fit, I tell them, “just eat plants!”
What do you eat now to maintain a normal weight?
@@lizzzarduh whole food plants. More the variety the better. No process foods. I enjoy cooking , food tastes better.
@@garydinmore1598 So where in your comment do you prove that vegan sources of protein are as high quality as meat protein?
@Jordan Axxe I don't care about vegan juiceheads or fake vegans. I'm interested in the science as a natural. Again, please explain to me where there's evidence of vegan protein being higher or same quality as meat protein. Can't find it in your comment or this video. In fact, can't find it on any research on nutrition.
@@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech There’s a 2021 analysis called high protein plant based diet versus a protein matched omnivorous diet you can look up. Alpha Destiny is a real natural who has been plant based (as in 99% plants not “vegan) for about 3.5 years now and I’d say his achievements speak for themselves. And like I told another commenter not sure why you’d even look to studies opposed to real world experience. If you tried getting all your protein form plants and it didn’t work then we should look at exactly what you were eating and total calories
this video was very very very well made, can't believe this channel only has 7k subscribers
The muscle loss part was eye opening. I'm gonna try and not get sick and keep on exercising when I do.
Yeah, shocking. 😱 I asked Hamilton about that and he said in their hospital (the biggest in Latin America) they are installing some exercise equipment for patients like hand cycles above the bed so patients can at least do something.
@@PlantChompers I would think that resistance bands would be helpful in that situation.
@@someguy2135 All you need is isometrics if equipment is scarce and the individual is restricted with his/her training. There are three phases of a resistance exercise -- concentric, isometric and eccentric. Each provides its own benefits and isometrics can be done pretty much anywhere with something as simple as a towel or rope, planks, wall squats.
@@parkerreed4370 Thanks! I need to learn more about this.
Don't exercise with covid though.

Love your work Chris, this is great, production quality, been a while since something's motivated me since the Game Changers!
You should consider making a juicy documentary, call up some companies expose them 😅!
Thank you so much. Every month I hear from someone (not in a particular diet camp) who says he'll fund a documentary if I will make it. Whew. Big job. A few years ago I helped with one called General Magic, which became the #1 documentary and included in in-flight entertainment until Game Changers came out. That was a 4 year project and a lot of marketing after.
Thanks again! I love these videos, there is so much information in them! Always useful to learn some new stuff.
Great video as usual, I have seen many debunking videos of What I've learned, but this one gives much more clarity. Continue this!
Subbed. We need an expert to assess all these contradictory experts. Plant based, never ever going back
Absolutely stunning 🤩 I love you, you are awesome!
I watched that WIL episode a few months ago. And trusted! So sad he misrepresented the data.
I switched to a plant-based diet around 6 years ago after weeding out everything that made me feel like crap (and coffee this year, sadly...). The criticism was abundant...
When I was an omnivore (LOTS of red meat and chicken as main proteins) I lived next to my gym and went about 5 days/week. As plant-based, I lived in a different location and had a different work schedule so I could only enjoy long workout sessions every other week (probably 4x every 2 weeks).
Feeling/looking healthy was a given but I didn't expect my performance to be so much better. My squat went up ~100lbs and I used to struggle with 315 for deadlifts but getting up around 355+ for reps was easy and progression was quick. I also did a lot of heavier kettlebell work (carries and swings with 70lbs in each hand and 100lbs for single KB work). Not amazing numbers for gym rats but I work out in my driveway just to stay healthy. I'm no bodybuilder or powerlifter.
Correlation isn't causation and a lot of things changed outside of my diet but even if I could comfortably eat animal products I wouldn't touch them because my life has improved in every way.
YMMV. A vegan/plant-based diet is easy to screw up, which I suspect is a contributing factor in people saying their health worsened.
@Christopher Stuart I'm not vegan because I don't follow the ethos. For instance, I have no problem wearing animal products. I DO eat nothing but plant-based foods, hence the label I've given to my diet.
My moves were made for dietary health reasons, not ethical ones 👍🚀 As long as we all listen to our bodies and do what feels best, we're doing it right (at least in terms of health). Small caveat: doing what TASTES best can oftentimes be confused as something that is actually good 🤣
If someone is keto, carnivore, vegan, etc. I respect their choices if they've actually found what works for them and they aren't just pushing an agenda.
@@cstuartdc "Plant-based" is a diet. "Vegan" is a philosophical/ethical standpoint. The terms are not interchangeable, they just often overlap.
@Christopher Stuart I respect your strategy! Understand that if animal products sat well with me I'd be eating them. I used to eat 4-6 eggs a day... one of the foods that caused the most inflammation for me.
You're being mindful about your diet and adjusting accordingly. I don't think there's a single best option for everyone.
@@cstuartdc I've heard several people describe what you're describing in my work as a dietitian and in my private life. I'm wondering the same as you, has the microbiome adapted to a animal-heavy diet? Is it harder for some to adapt back to plant-heavy diets? Has the body decreased it's own production of several important substances that it should be able to produce itself, since it's been getting it daily from animal foods?
If I were counseling you on diet I would encourage you to try again, but go slow and focus on the IBS-friendly alternatives. Increase the whole plant intake slowly, week by week, not eliminating any animal foods until 90% of your energy is coming from plants without causing you more bowel symptoms.
I hope you find your way to better health!
I was vegan for two years and felt like shit. Nowadays I eat red meat all the time and low carb and high quality dairy. I have never felt better than I do now. I am also a b blood type
I think you've easily become my favorite vegan channel! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you for this video. I love your content. I eat whole-foods, plant-based and discovering your channel has been amazing for me as I'm also very interested in science, as a hobby, mind you, but I love the way you deal with the scientific facts behind your discussions in a clear, straight-forward manner that makes it easy to digest. I also love that you provide references as well as I do, very occasionally, venture into trying to understand some of the research. Thanks again.
The most interesting part for me was the one on muscle loss during bed rest. I've allways been sceptical to idea of people loosing muscle mass just by aging. Thanks for the great walkthrough and the good references!
Yeah, that was the most interesting part for me too. I wonder though, can only 50 percent as he said be built back no matter what we do? I'm a bit confused on that part.
@@VeganLinked I don't think that is the case. The main limit to how much we can regain or increase is our motivation! ;) I believe 50% is was what usually is regained, without effort, after a period of muscle loss due to immobilization and that number will be lower in aged compared to young people. But I do believe that the main problem is not ageing, but how little we use (challange) our muscles in daily life. Most of us need to keep doing exercise for strength and muscle gain, and increase the challange over time as we adapt to it, to compensate for the lack of challanges in our daily lives.
@@andreasrydstrom9112 I hope so.
I also found that fascinating, though it made me worry a bit if I'm losing muscle by sleeping too much (I sleep 9-11 hours most days). Though I do strength training with dumbbells at home.

Such an amazing video! You helped me write a college paper. I love the information you provided on Japan's history with the USDA. This helped me to bridge the gap in my argument against Coronado (UN REP) who seemingly single handed upended EAT PHD. So THANK YOU!
How do you reference this video?
People have been eating thousands of years , all of a sudden we don’t know what to eat . Eat Whole Foods , meat wasn’t always available, fruits wasn’t always available, vegetables wasn’t always available, eat a balanced organic diet , not processed
The meat we were eating in the past wasn't factory farmed. Neither was the dairy/cheese. These are modern things which are probably contributing to the plethora of health issues we're seeing today. That's the value proposition of eating less meat...you reduce whatever of that process enters your body
I am not vegan, I realize the research is majority against my lifestyle, but honestly I love chicken, fish, and beef and I don't think I'm ready to make a change. With that being said I thoroughly enjoyed the video and am so happy somebody actually bothered to check references, most people nowadays just believe everything at face value. What I learned is a great example of misconstruing scientific literature.
I look forward to and am always fascinated by the topics you choose. Thank you for your excellent research.
Once again an interesting and well researched video! You are such a gem here on RUclips!
Your content is top tier.
As ever, you deserve way more subs than this.
Respect.
Thanks again for your effort to produce this highly informative and entertaining video. I struggled to cooked beans initially when I first started. Now i use electric pressure cooker to cook beans and lentils in bulk and store them in small package in the freezer for daily use. It a convenient way for me to increase my protein intake from a whole plant source.
Aren't electric pressure cookers the best!? We love ours. 😁
You must be farting like a horse eating that .
@@happyapple4269 The bad smell comes from sulfur containing aminos in animal products. Vegan farts don't smell. Dogs smell the same methionine to detect cancer, which needs a huge amount of methionine to grow fast.

Argh! Sorry for that mistake but thanks for letting me know so I can get it right on the full interview.
You know, doing a second look at that museum photo, it seems Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica are using it as the university of Sao Paulo pic for their sites. They say it's on the campus. Is that true? www.britannica.com/place/University-of-Sao-Paulo

Yes. Helpful and reassuring for me.
Nice! I never heard of you before, but this was so tight, I subscribed before the video was done. Thank you!
I've been using pumpkin seeds in my smoothies as an alternative to protein powders. Nice to know there are no (potential) contaminants from commercial protein powders that way.
I love pumpkin seeds! At one time I was worried about the fat from nuts and seeds but Walter Willett makes a compelling case for their health, as do the Seventh Day Adventist studies, among many others.
@@PlantChompers Pumpkin seeds are a great source of zinc.
@@PlantChompers They make the flavor of my smoothies taste rich. Balances out the sweetness.
My wife makes me a salad every day (and I make her a green smoothie at dinner) and she sprinkles pumpkin seeds on the salad. Yum!
@@PlantChompers Sounds tasty. I use sunflower seeds on my salad.
Yet another video binged today haha! I'm soon going to run into the problem of running out of your content to watch! What a sad day that'll be. But today is not that day. Loved the video and I enjoy being informed, thanks a bunch!
I was just gonna comment on when the protein video would come out and lo and behold.
Thank you for this.
Thanks! I really wrestled with this one. There is SO much money being poured into shenanigans wrt beef, chicken and pork...
As a former high school biology teacher who occasionally tried to add a few nutritional insights to the biology classes I taught, I am THRILLED to see Chris MacAskill pull together and offer such high quality presentations on nutrition, with lots of good-natured humor. His videos are a breath of fresh air. Hats off to him for his wonderful, in-depth research and pursuit of world authorities like Hamilton Roschel! Unfortunately, mainstream media will often cover a single new scientific paper on nutrition very superficially and treat it like Gospel without giving any context on what the WHO and other independent science-based authorities already have published! Just as vigilance is the eternal price of liberty, it seems that vigilance (like Chris's) is the eternal price of knowing the truth what is really going on in our country and in our diets, where corporate lobbyists do so well at getting governmental agencies to subsidize beef and corn and support the status quo. And where restaurants pile on high fat, high salt foods in huge quantities to compete for customers despite the health risks. Case in point--how can Krispy Kreme do so well when doughnuts are known to be so unhealthful in the long run? I think I will skip Krispy Kreme next time I need breakfast on the run and instead go to the local bagel shop. I hope teachers will use Chris's fantastic videos in their classes for all ages!
I love your videos! You are so informative, interesting and funny! Thanks for all you do!
Found the channel by a randomn click. I love the way you speak and your sense of humor. Stay objective brother!
This presentation is so well done, per usual.
Since watching your video the first time, I became aware of Layman when doing a deep dive on protein. I concluded he was not a credible source I would follow. Watching your assessment and that he endorsed 'what I've learned' makes me pleased I arrived at the right decision. No wonder I tend to watch your videos more that once !! Great job @PlantChompers !!!
First to like, first to comment…. Been looking forward to this… thanks 🙏
Thank you for covering this topic! When I watched the what I've learned video, I knew some of it had to be misinformation, but did not do the work of checking the sources. Thank you!
In my country ( Cameroon, where Ngannou was born and raised by the way) animal sources of protein are so expensive, so athletes and guys doing heavy physical jobs like digging sand barely eat meat, fish or milk! But those guys are so jacked, muscular, heavy and damn strong. They rely on red beans, with sweet potatoes and avocado almost religiously.
We’ve known for generations in our villages that regular meat hurts and beans make workers stronger, more endurant.. Now you’ve brought the scientific proof of our common knowledge
Wow you should share about this. Most people around me think meat makes you strong. I had to keep rolling my eyes. People are so brain washed by marketing and advertising yet think they know. Hope you'll make a tik tok video of the athletes and guys doing heavy jobs and their diet.
Such a great video! It blew my mind the dedication and the amount of information! Congratulations for the great work! 🤯👏
Your videos are so funny and thoroughly researched they convinced me to switch to a vegan 🌱 dietary pattern since December 2021. Thanks a lot!
Welcome aboard! I hope you are linking to his channel so more people can benefit from his videos.
Congrats!
Good skills!
great news. it's the best life hack ever!
Welcome to the best decision we ever made, and only regret we didn't make it sooner group.
The algorithm hits bullseye sometimes! Great video.
Already watched a couple more and subscribed.
I’m waiting for the whole interview with the Brazilian researcher.
At 1:26 you said “The stakes are high: Alzheimer’s, cancer, a wrecked planet.” For a split second I thought you were going to say “a wrecked…ile dysfunction.” 😂
Hahaha! Yesterday on Instagram I noticed that Gemma Newman, a beautiful but conservative physician, posted a video with her smiling and asking, "want a firmer erection?" I did a triple-take, thinking Instagram had let porn into my feed. I ended up getting a laugh and thinking I could never say anything like that. My grandkids watch my videos. 🧒🏼 👦🏼
My Man! Thank you so much. Did not know about your channel, but your on the list now
I love that you did this video. Doug Graham who is the writer of 80/10/10 says that lifting weights builds muscle not taking protein. Also I think it was in his book where he talks about the composition of mother's milk and how much a baby grows during its first 1 to 2 years. Mother's milk is composed of 80% carbs 10% protein and 10% fat which is what most fruits and vegetables are composed of. Why do we think as we get older that we need protein. It would be awesome to see an experiment done where vegan bodybuilders like Nimai Delgado and Derek Simnett purposely take on a diet that has low protein high carb just like the composition of mother's milk and see if they lose any muscle mass.
same in nature. for example, carnivorous animals will sip on mothers milk, then go on to be trained killers
We know protein builds tissues in the body, it really isn't up for discussion 😂.
I'm high fruit raw plant based (some seeds, nuts and soft leafy greens) , take no supplements, and at 54 I'm in better health than when I was 24. Most people assume I'm in my 30's and I have more energy than friends that are much younger than me!
Great video. Editing, setup, informative content. Just great!
Thanks Chris. All your content helps keep me committed to living a plant based life.
