As a vegetarian I am super proud of Ben for following through with this challenge and trying new things 🙏 thanks so much for keeping an open mind love the content
The headache is definitely linked to the vegetarian diet. Fasting, or partial fasting like omitting meat, makes a huge difference in how the body works. There's also another reason why people experience symptoms during fasting periods, and that's the increased intake of fruits which are known to loosen and eliminate phlegm. A headache is commonly caused by sinus pressure from increased mucus production
The headaches are probably because you actually ate far far fewer calories than you usually did and cuz your body's adapting to no meat. I had similar problems when I did Keto. 1 week and I felt fucking awful the whole time.
I love meatloaf, you can just put ketchup on the top about 20-30 min before taking it out and it gets a nice glaze texture. I also chop up green bell pepper into small bits and it goes great in the meatloaf too. Makes great sandwiches with the leftovers too lol
Also I imagine it's hard to avoid fish sauce/seafood in commercial or restaurant food. Shit even snacks and convenience probably have either flavors or seasonings that have some kinda of seafood product. Being strict vegetarian would probably mean cooking almost all of your food
My daughter whose 11 loves Korea and everything Korean..lol. she's a big Anime fan.. I told her to watch your mukbangs and she thinks yo totally cool 😎 😅😅😅..she also loves your American accent 😮
Happy you finally got some meat! Great job, for keeping with being a vegetarian for a week. Love ya Ben! Also, when you completely change your diet, it can cause headaches, also I know some people crave sugar and junk food. Enjoy it man! - A great meatloaf recipe 1 pound ground beef Chopped, onions, red bell peppers, celery and some breadcrumbs. Combine and cook at 400 for about an hour or so. Use some tomato sauce and tomato paste to thicken and just a little sugar, mix together put on top of the meat loaf, about ten minutes before the meatloaf is done cooking!
It's interesting you chose to do meatloaf. I've been craving meatloaf and have been getting ready to buy the ingredients. Btw, I make mine with bbq sauce. Was hoping you'd show us a bit of the cooking process.
No offense to Ben but he's not really someone you should look for in cooking advices. There's plenty of home cook recipes in the internet which is easy to follow. Would be cool to see a cooking episode though.
Ben I really think it’s because of what you were eating.. there’s lot of fulfilling meals that are delicious and vegetarian. I’ll say tho, I love cooking so maybe if I ate out a bunch id feel the same as you idk
Just eat meat. So much easier instead of having to use 10-20 damn ingredients to make your garbage vegetarian food. The only place that has really actual good veg food would be in India/Indosia, places like those where they have ingredients you can't find in many other countries.
Aye Been add more eggs next time. Cook the meat solo dolo then mix Ketchup and BBQ sauce. And cook that on top for the last 10 minutes. Will change your life. Kudos for smashing an entire meatloaf tho!
Tip for meatloaf: "Overmix" it until it's like a paste. The meatloaf in this video is very crumbly and brittle, and it's hard to pierce with a fork. That's why Ben drops a few of his bites throughout the video. But if you overmix it a bit, you get a very structured yet soft meatloaf, that you can easily pierce with a fork without it crumbling. Yes, I watch Adam Ragusea 🙃
No , overmixing makes it tough, chewy and dense UNLESS you use tons of moisture, plenty of eggs. The prefect meatloaf is mixing all your ingredients before hand then FOLDING it into the meat, Tender every time.
Shit it's Ben a week already. 🎉 btw Ben you gotta use 2 eggs and put it on an oven rack with tray. It crisps up and doesn't break apart sitting in its own grease. Js
Keto is a very OMAD friendly challenge. If you do it for a week, make sure your electrolyte game is strong. Otherwise you get brain fog while your body converts from glucose for energy to ketones, and is normally a day 3 to day 7 kind of time span. Week two is smooth sailing.
I keep mine simple as well. I love meatloaf. May I suggest that you add ketchup and mustard to the meat mixture as well. The flavors cook into the meat. Still add it on top as well. Thank me later.😊
Chef Ben whipped up a Meatloaf, looks good for your first one! I threw out the diet culture a while ago, I eat what I want and don't deprive myself, it's all about moderation and balance for me but I'm curious to see how you fare with the keto/carnivore diet. I bet it will be much easier for you.
Maybe you didn’t get enough protein? Quinoa and chickpeas are great for that. It sounds like you miss your parents though! Due to the holidays in America coming up?
I like meatloaf with a crunchy crust and a bit dryer. You can also form patties with the same ingredients and pan fry them. At least, that's how I make it.
Man after watching your vegetarian videos for the whole week you can really sense the amount of happiness and enjoyment he's got.

Of course you had to go all in after that horrible week!
That first bite instantly cured the headache 😂
I don’t know why I’m so excited to watch ben eat a meatloaf. I’ve been waiting a whole week for it
😅 Right! I feel like I’m getting second enjoyment!
Hahaha me too!
same here lol
Even with a killer headache, Ben is still delightful. That sure is one scrumptious looking meatloaf!👀😁😋
Perfect end to my Sunday. 🤠 I respect and admire Ben's simplicity. Also loving this new cooking Ben. ❤
When I was in high school, I would eat cold meatloaf sandwiches with mayo and thick bread. Left over meatloaf is versatile
I have never heard of that in my life! Have to try it soon
i gotta try that next time my mom makes meatloaf it sounds delicious
Meatloaf sandwiches are the best!!!

Wow first time seeing a sane vegetarian 😮
@@محب-الخير5
You sure you don't mix them up with vegans ? I know alot of sane vegetarians.
@@Darkx1989 so vegans are the weirdos?
@@Darkx1989 agreed. At least vegetarians still agree on having eggs, milk, and other stuff like that, and they usualy aren't as pushy as vegans.
Meatloaf, ketchup, mash potatoes and gravy always hits
I love the lipton french onion soup packet recipe
Yeah! I’m 35 and I vaguely remember that soup ! Good old days 😅

All-time favorite of mine bacon wrapped meatloaf is amazing
Stops mid-talking, looks at glove on hand, "wait why am I still wearing this?" 😂
Back to the regular scheduled programming, but I still enjoyed the vegetarian meals. It was a good week.
MY MAN. I literally just cooked and ate me some meatloaf. Great minds think alike!

Ngl doing something like a weeks worth of halal only food would be interesting. Also gives us a view as to how open, or limited those options may be

30$ to make that?? How much does ground beef and onions go for in Korea?
He probably bought the priciest ground beef !
Creamy garlic mashed potatoes on the side would have capped it
Ben straight up ODed on beef 😂
I love meatloaf! ^_^ I love it when it has a ketchup glaze on top! I also love eating it with ketchup and gravy! :D
Next time you make meatloaf.....add worcestershire sauce. It will blow your mind. You're welcome 🤗
Been waiting for this video especially since it’s uploaded on my birthday so a lovely way to end the big 20th 😂😂
HaPpY BiRtHdAy 🎉

17th video commented on in a row requesting Ben to redo the Nashville Hot Chicken video to see how far his spice tolerance has gone up!

You should try making layers of meat and sause
How on earth can you eat this without southern mashed potatoes???? So needed.
Drops food, proceeds to pick it up with the ungloved hand. hahaha goodjob on the vegetarian diet ben

you should do full carnivore for a week now
You need to have rice or potatoes with that!!
Mans really went into meat withdrawls. Headaches and wverything😢

“if i was a vegetarian” 2 seconds later: eggs and toast
Gotta throw some more ketchup on that meatloaf 😂
Double the sauce!
yea fr the ketchup was lacking LOL
And i never heard of adding mustard
7:31 🤣🤣 look at that hand with the glove
Cooking with Ben Deen should happen.
would be nice too see a week of carnivoures diet now. the differences
Meatloaf with rice and corn on the side and its too legit to quit 👏👍
Ben loves American food 1st. he isn't embarrassed of it like some Americans are trying to show off for the viewers.
Meatloaf sandwich

On the seventh day, Ben partaketh thy loaf of meat!!
I feel like this weeks been too easy! Do a week on vegan food maybe February to make it easier
He's a human not a rabbit don't make him suffer lol
A week on carnivore diet!
Holdup bra... he said "I'm going in straight MEAT " '_' big pause
Sorry about my cramky comment earlier. Misguided angst. Just finised a wrok wkd. I hate my job.
Thanks for the vegetarian week. Be well
you really just ate 1kg of meat in 13 minutes?
Meatloaf is awesome lol!
a keto diet challenge would be crazy
wish I could smell what ben`s been cooking!
I prefer my meatloaf with gravy but tomato glaze is fine too.
Do a seafood challenge for a week
Do a meat only diet for a week
No meat for a week, then meatloaf. Awesome.
7 different kinds of steak in 7 days 😋
Ben did you ever finish persona5?
Maybe you didn’t get enough protein? Quinoa and chickpeas are great for that.
It sounds like you miss your parents though! Due to the holidays in America coming up?
I like meatloaf with a crunchy crust and a bit dryer. You can also form patties with the same ingredients and pan fry them. At least, that's how I make it.
Finally Ben gets his meatloaf 😂. Hope you feel better soon
just kidding is like is crutch..when it comes to have an opinion about something! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
