You look great then and now. I will be in the 40 club in a near few years and I am starting this journey this week going plant based. This is my sign to keep going ❤🎉 TY.
Man, 75 pounds down. 14 years post kidney transplant. I just totally get what he’s saying. I know this though. Feels good. Feeling good. Good luck all🤙
Living your life with compassion, you cannot go wrong. Some are plant based primarily for health reasons but you my brother, it’s clear love is the anchor. Namaste, Rich and thank you for being a great example of what plants can do. XX
Compassion is the best motivation to fully commit to a vegan lifestyle intended to cause the least harm to animals. A diet based solely on your health including weight loss is like any other diet that you cheat on. Cheating while being a vegan is tantamount to animal cruelty.
I wish I would have listened to my gut. I was vegan for 18 years. I now eat meat and dairy. I feel so much better... all the depression and anxiety are gone and I look amazing if I dare say so!
@@szililolabu you don't quit being a vegan and decide solely based on your gut. We aren't even "carnivores" . Many ppl struggle on plant based but they seek solution and heal themselves if it's not genetics ,just saying even though you wouldn't care.
@@abhayagarwal5097 what do you mean "you don't "? I did. How long have you been vegan? Do you know what I went thru? Did I ever say the only reason I quit being vegan was listening to my gut?
I would try green juice.. that looks good.. I eat mostly cooked (hardly anything processed.. we eat mostly home cooked made from scratch) ... But haven't tried green juice yet.. defo better than juicing your fruits ...
I decided to go vegetarian last year at 38 years old. I'm currently 39 and still vegetarian. I may possibly go vegan during my 40s but I'm just not ready.
Look up Dr.Anthony Chafee, plant based diet is not good for you and this has to stop. I assure you this guy supplements a lot, and is full of oxalates and possibly kidney stones.
Not eating meat, and eating more plants, is a huge step. Be proud of yourself for getting this far. It's been a lifetime quest for me, and a learning process, for sure. You can select a day here and there to be dairy free, if you like, and still not commit to it. See how you feel. It's not a natural food for humans, and when I went back to it I always got sick, again. Respiratory, and joint problems. Congratulations on your progress.
You are looking tremendous for mid fifties , well done on helping get the plant based message out to so many . We need more people like you for the animals .
I am wondering what you would say to someone like myself who is overweight about getting into shape and where to start and does it get easier or do push ups always hurt and running? At what point do you feel like you had a moment of realization that you can go as far as you want?
I have had similar results, but I went carnivore diet. Lost a lot of weight very quickly, my lipomas have almost disappeared, my skin is like it was when I was in my 20’s. I eat a delicious steak everyday and don’t feel hungry the rest of the time. I wish I had known about this diet sooner in my life.
@@abhayagarwal5097 LOL As if humans haven't been eating animals since the beginning of our history. Save it. What do you even mean "real" human?? Sorry but veganism is brand new to world history. There was never 1, not 1 vegan tribe back when we were all hunters and gatherers and it's pretty clear that human health started to DECLINE the moment mass farming and consuming of plants took hold. Save your anti human bs for someone else. My health was garbage on a "whole food plant based diet" like the one Rich Roll, John Joseph and his other guest like to put out there. Crazy how great I felt after switching to animal based. I won't ever go back.
Can one Pre d type 2 go on Vegan Vegetarian plus on OMAD to reverse Pre d type 2? If yes, take how long the time periods ? The equation result shall be: OMAD + VEGAN VEGETARIAN + how many days or months or years ? = HBA1c < 5.4 Purpose: to reverse early Pre d type 2 Important point: early Pre d type 2, do not take any kind of medicines or japs at all, so low blood sugar will not happen in this case ?
Some people are grass eaters. Some are meat eaters. If you spend equally amount of time researching fit people on both ends you won't learn anything. The bottom line is some people choose to eat grass. Others choose to eat meat. You do you.
You're an inspiration. I'm vegan over 3 years, but still eat too much junk and prop up my anxiety with alcohol, but not huge amounts. Just started mindfulness meditation.
Soon vegans and animal eaters will take different evolutionary paths. Future scientists will look back and find out the last common ancestors between vegans and meat eaters
You think the Human body can evolve to be just plant based? Haha good luck with that. Evolution involves finding the optimum way to survive. There's a reason we were omnivores and still are. If it aint broke dont need to fix..
@@MauriceTarantulas I mean this was a joke clearly. But I guess if you’re stupid then you’d think it was real. But yes, theoretically humans could evolve to eat only plants if conditions forced there to be no food available except for plants. That’s how evolution works…

@@jeff7764 look, with love in my heart: as person on human specie appropriate diet - carnivore,along with my family and more and more friends and friends of their friends, do not support hurting or causing suffering. With that said: most people (93% Americans) are metabolically ill and suffering because of that. And their families and friends are suffering too! This is the biggest problem we are facing right now on this planet and this is the number one thing we should all focus on!!! You put your focus where you want but I dedicated my life to healing and wellbeing of people who want to get better. It is through exercise - resistant and HIIT, not endurance or yoga, and low carb, keto, ketavore, carnivore diet. If you really care about general wellbeing of all do listen to these guys. It's not about me doing me, everyone keep to themselves. It is about raising awareness, opening to new , learning etc We are in this together. I love Ken Berry answer on 5 minute body channel answering the question: what would happen if all go carnivore... Best wishes to you!
Bro relax your food is your fuel if yes healthier it's definitely the food ajd so what if he looks older lol some people look older at that age some don't
Eat big salads: Romaine lettuce, spinach, other greens, tomatoes, peppers, parsley, onions if you like. Green beans, pinto beans, black beans. All good examples. I still eat some grass fed hamburger though and grass fed steak once or twice a week or wild caught salmon. I eat pasture raise eggs a couple times a week too. I stay away from processed foods like cookies, crackers and chips. Eat mostly natural. Drink purified water. I like herbal teas too. Take milk thistle for your liver. Fruit is good too. But don't over do it.
Check out Dr Ekberg Wellness for life on RUclips one of the best holistic Drs on RUclips a very well rounded doctor. Its best if u educate yourself first before switching to plant based. A lot of these plant base people are vegan but eat a lot of processed “vegan” stuff. He goes into detail and also explains how some plants are are also bad for humans. A lot of these plant based people say shit like “well a gorilla eats nothing but plants and they are stronger than us” which is a stupid argument. We don’t have the same digestive system as a gorilla our bodies cant break those plants down the same way a gorilla does. Lentils are a great source of protein but like I said do some research educate yourself so u can start a plant based diet the right and healthy way instead of doing what the majority of plant based people do. Eating fake meat and other stuff that replicate animal products are all processed and should be avoided!
Lots of whole plant food seems like a good idea but not exclusively plant foods. There are things provided in meat that we are unable to get in plant foods, including B12, carnosine, and others. If the vegan diet was a perfect diet, then why do they need to supplement?
Do some research into your B12 comment….farm animals now days are also supplemented with B12 as it’s no longer naturally occurring in the soil their grass grows in from over spraying and processing. We used to get B12 from the soil our veggies grow in also. B12 is not naturally occurring in your meat!
Giving up plant based changed my life. I was plant based for like 5 years and thought I was healthy. Now I eat most meat,eggs, raw milk and a little fruit and am an absolute animal compared to what I was when I ate only plants. There's a reason these dudes do a few great things and then have to quit. The body can't last at the highest levels for too long on a plant based diet. Rich had some amazing moments. Imagine what he'd be doing now if he was on a carnivore diet or mostly animal based like dudes like Cam Hanes.
Hell go down hill in health of he's carnivore meat has harmones in it and the animals are under harsh conditions and they are fed garbage lol is that healthy meat ?
There's no question that a whole foods, plant-based diet is superior to the standard American diet however I suspect that the carnivore diet or an animal-based ancestral diet may be even better.
You ever stop to think that the back pain could be due to that fact that he is in his 50’s and is an ultra marathon athlete who constantly beats his body up on a regular basis? Did you ever stop to think that maybe this pain is due to his decades of eating a poor diet before he went vegan? I mean you guys are always saying “that vegan isn’t sick yet because they are still using up the stored nutrients from when they are meat 7 years ago” so in your mind why can’t his back pain be the result of his poor diet in the past?
@@patrickryan1092 don’t waste your time with these idiots. They will find any way to try to justify their own unhealthy habits. Easy to throw stones while enjoying that juicy Big Mac. Let’s see who has the first heart attack…

If he wanted to ruin his digestive system completely he might give that a try. Oh and if he didn’t mind violently exploiting the bodies of other sentient beings for literally no good reason.
