about fat vegetarians, you have never been to a punjabi family.
I'm Punjabi! Let's GO!!!
Very interesting mate, keep it up 👍🏻
Sorry to hear about your friend pal ❤️
Spencer FC don’t worry man, your vids keep me upbeat on a day like today so it means a lot ❤️🙌🏻
Very interesting mate. Debating giving it a go for Jan.
Do it Jacky
JaackMaate will you balls jack one meal deal episode and you'll be eating a kfc quicker than you can say mistreatment
Go on chubbs
Happy for you Spencer, usually I'd never consider being a vegetarian but watching this is making me think more about what I eat.
Can you show us what you eat on a weekly basis as a vegetarian?
Hey mate, just to give you an idea of what I would eat to give you an idea of this. Worth noting that I am currently trying to reduce dairy as well so you can add in more dairy as well if you want. This is from my food diary for the past week:
Monday: Protein Pancakes with Lemon and Stevia; Roasted Chickpeas and Fruit; Maple/Soy Tofu with Broccoli, Quinoa and Tahini sauce; Black Bean Bolognaise with Pasta, Protein Shake.
Tuesday: Porridge with Berries, Maple and Almond Milk; Musli Bar and Fruit; Roasted Potatoes with home made baked beans and cheese; Home made Pizza with Cheese, Mushroom, Capsicum and Pesto Sauce.
The next two days, including today are repeats of those two days as I tend to life via meal prep and alternate through meals.
@@jackreid7129 thanks Jack for all the Info, gonna give this a try at the start of the year for a month to see how it goes and how my system reacts to the change.
@@ZaaRaphz good luck mate, hope it goes well!
ZaaRaphz remember supplements dude. Vegan diet leaves out important nutritions.
For instant, the meal plan ypu just got hasnt got any omega 3 acids which is important in fighting stuff like depression.
@Jack Reid when you say baked beans and cheese do you mean that you eat the cheese and the beans together or separately ?
I would love to just sit there and listen to this man speak for hours, he’s so intelligent, open minded and a pleasure to watch!
Shiv Vohra sane!! Wish this video was longer, so enjoyable to listen to him
Same*
I’m vegan and it’s been an amazing experience maybe consider trying it for a month Spen
My favourite quote relating to this is “disease doesn’t run in families, diets do”
As someone with a cancer ridden family it really struck a chord with me. Been plant based 2 years and been a great decision mentally and physically. In terms of money, veganism is expensive, plant based is cheap. Always respected your humility Spencer and think it’s great you’re using your platform for this.
Major learning curve with this but the longer you stick it out the more you learn and adapt
Go vegan bro, so proud of you though
nice vid Spencer👍
Only true spen fans watch the spencer owen channel
Respect to Spencer to being so open minded. Loads of people today are so massively anti vegetarian and anti vegan and have so many misconceptions about that kind of diet but your definitely not that kind of person. Good to do for moral and environmental reasons but its also a tool that has worked for a lot of people to become more healthy. Hopefully this video will make people more open minded to a vegetarian diet r even eating more vegetable based food.
What a man!!!
Do a video with earthling Ed spencer, watched you for years, now you’re even more legendary
You should go an watch a Forest Green Rovers match and try out the food.
Ben Fleming yes!!
I watched the fitness apps video from nearly 3 years ago and I still use them to this day, crazy how quick that has gone
Was really interesting to hear about this from a different perspective. I'll always enjoy listening to your opinions spen.
Fascinating video and brilliantly articulated. Very interesting to hear your side of this issue and even though vegetarianism isn't something I wish to pursue at this point in my life it is great to learn more about it. Brilliant vid Spen!
I dunno how people do it. Anyone who is vegetarian has fully earnt my respect.
It's not Everest.
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake ?
Huzz I don’t get the point in being a vegan
@@knife.3161 Is English your first language?
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake yes?
I've been vegetarian for like three/four years now, and been following you for longer and, in a really weird way, it makes me really happy to see that you've switched to vegetarianism, it doesn't surprise me at all, based on what you show on your platforms, you seem like someone willing to question the status quo, yourself, society and the impact our actions can have... Anyway congrats, it's definitely the right ethical and environmental choice, keep the video updates up, interesting to see your thoughts on this! 👍
WELCOME TO THE CLUB SPENCERRRR 😂🌱
❤️
Massive respect
Good luck to you Spen!
please do fm on this channel
will owen nice name bro
Loved the video! I had the same problem with farting in the beginning which then stopped after 2 weeks. After doing some research, I found that the microbiome is changing soo much from the different diet and mainly because of increased intake of fibre.
And don't worry about the carb intake for fat gain, if you get a lot of fibre, naturally you will not overeat, especially because plant foods are generally a lot less calorie dense you should definitely get full before consuming many excess calories. Just make sure you get enough!
I also found it strange not to have meat on the plate and had some mock eats and such but those have mainly replaced by a variety of beans which is then the main protein source along with whole grains. I didn't feel a difference until I stopped eating milk and eggs, felt more energetic! If you want to research health, the book "How not to die" by Dr Micheal Greger has helped me a lot!
Thanks for making the video, enjoy the journey 😉
Joe Rogan had a great podcast recently (#1389) with a guy called Chris Kresser all about the Game Changers documentary. I highly recommend it to anyone interested on this subject.
Spen pls watch this documentary.
I fully support Spencer going vegetarian if that is what works for him but some of the things presented in the game changers documentary are just factually incorrect or heavily biased.
Joe Rogan will have a new podcast with the producer of the documentary in a near future. Give it a watch if you are interested in an intellectual discourse.
fair play spencer, im also a month in, and its down to the same documentary. impactful i guess!
Nice one Spen, I decided to do the challenge myself when you said you were doing it! Had a similar experience to what you described. I’ve heard lots of people say they felt physically much better for it, I just felt the same but felt good mentally for doing it. I guess some people probably go from an unhealthy omnivorous diet to a healthy veggie diet and assume it’s because they cut the meat out but it’s actually just the fast food and rubbish that’s made the difference. Love to see more stuff about life in general on this channel in the future if you get the chance! 👍🏻
Go on Spen top lad
I love this keep it up. I wanna see more. I agree 100%. Ive turned veggie cus i play cricket. But there arent many options for me. I also agreed with the fast food drive by thing ahahaha. Have fun!
I know it's been a while, but I've been vegetarian for the last 6 months or so and this video was one of the things that helped inspire me, so thanks Spencer 😊
You are so well spoken mate
Happy to see you make this change in your life, keep at it!
Been vegetarian for 2 years, I feel great. I feel awful if I don’t have fruit for a few days but that’s it. Never had a moment where I wanted meat ever.
‘If slaughterhouses has glass walls we’d all be vegetarian’
The meat industries carbon industry, is to do with transporting to us. British meat gets exported. We import lots of meat. Soya gets grown and then shipped thousands of miles to feed one cow for a year, could feed 13 people for a year. But that middle part adds on lots
I can relate a wee bit I’ve completely cut back on takeaways, for health reasons - not quite meat - now when I have that once, rare twice a month takeaway it doesn’t seem as appealing as before because I’ve adapted to better quality food
Hey Spen, great video! I'm a vegan for ethical reasons. There's a good argument to be made that the production of dairy and eggs is more unethical than the production of meat. Veganism is also the boycotting of products tested on animals and clothing made form animals. Maybe do some research and see if veganism might be for you (I recommend the Best Speech You Will Ever Hear - Gary Yourofsky, or Dominion (really tough watch), even Earthling Ed's youtube videos). Sounds like you're already thinking about the ethical implications of your actions which is really great. Here's me hoping you can eventually turn vegan and use your platform to help spread the message, but even this is great. Keep up the great work with Hashtag as well, you're doing big things!
That’s a nice leather seat your sitting on.
Did notice no difference at all in your performance or energy levels? To be honest that’s the main reason I’m considering the change
To be fair he was probably eating a very healthy diet and very well sourced meat to begin with.
Great vid more of this stilll
great video spence
Watched the gamechangers doc after you recommended it on twitter. Left feeling completely swayed on veganism but people like joe rogan have come out and disputed alot of the claims made in the film. So im still left in this limbo of not knowing which route to go. Ultimately I think society is eating too much meat and we should strive to reduce our meat consumption and increase vegetable consumption for the sake of ethics and also personal health
Umartopia joe rogan has no idea what he’s talking about, neither does his acupuncturist butt buddy Chris, listen to the real doctors and experts. That entire podcast has now been debunked by James Wilkes on the next podcast
Spencer I watched that documentary as well. I am changing to vegetarian.
Going veggie is the hard part. After getting used to it for a few months, you could so easily go vegan too. Even better for the big 3 reasons: ethical, environmental, health.
Remember you B12 supplements!
U can watch the documentary on NFX, it's worth it
Great looking shirt
Good on you Spencer for doing what you are doing.
Pls go and watch Joe Rogans podcast about this documentary.
Fun fact, the founder of our beloved West Ham [Thames Ironworks] Arnold Hills, was a long-time vegetarian and even the first president of the London Vegetarian Society!
So glad your uploading on here again. Please can you do a fifa 20 series. Potentially another wheel of FUTune🤔
great video ❤️👍
Last December I challenged myself to have no meat until Christmas day and I would have turkey. I had turkey up till New years eve and then decided to stop eating meat for good. I found myself to not be as tired during the day and my skin cleared up a lot. I still find it hard when a platter gets brought out at a party. I mainly eat Quorn products and some Linda McCartney ones. Best of luck going forward.
I’ve been vegetarian my whole life Spen! Welcome to the club
Spen hats off to you for switching , since August I’ve been cutting down on meat however I still eat it not because I agree with the killing of the animal but because I enjoy the taste however I do eat veggie/vegan about 3/4 times a week as well and if I’m honest it’s not as bad as some people make it out to be because yes you can’t have meat but there are things like pasta etc that you can still eat. I never judge anyone for their choice of diet like it’s their life let them live it the way they want, I see both sides to the meat eaters vs vegetarians arguments and I’m so glad that someone with so much voice over the younger generation shares the same morales as myself so hats off to you
I’ve been vegetarian for 4 years and I 100% agree that I see fast food in particular completely differently. I find that people will only understand this if they try being vegetarian themselves. I think it’s brilliant that you are now veggie. Keep it up, even when there is the inevitable temptation.
Love how he pronounced viv-era 😂😂😂
Great stuff spencer! i turned veggy a few years ago now. Try mixing in some organic food for better health, available in most supermarkets now.
i watched game changers a few weeks back and im gradually adjusting my diet 2 plant based, i didn't want 2 jump right in otherwise i know i will just stop and go back 2 eating animal based foods
Anyone else doing vegetarianism for a group discussion for their WJEC English GCSE?
I watched game changers and it has changed me
A few of my friends have said the same thing. I’m vegetarian but haven’t seen it 🤷🏻♀️
Nice mate ! I like these type of videos for sure
Could u mabey do a nother series of the wheel of fortune(futune) please.
I’m starting my vegetarian/vegan diet in the new year. Wish me luck!
Not sure if I should go vegetarian or vegan yet.. any help?
Try easing yourself into it, slowly remove more and more animal products
Good video. You've gone vegan/vegetarian for what I believe to be the right reasons and also have made some pretty keen observations. 👍
I was vegetarian for 6 months and I was in the best mental and physical state I have been in my life in recent years. Would recommend to anyone, will definitely be going back soon.
DC United!
Puff
Congratulations!.
Bro the strongest man in the world isn't vegan. Watch Brian Shaws channel just to see what these guys eat to be that strong.
I’ve been veggie for about a year and two months (and am looking towards being vegan eventually), the documentary that convinced me completely Is “Carnage” directed by Simon Amstell, on iplayer, and would recommend anyone (including spen) to watch it 👍🏻🌱
Thank you for sharing your story about vegetarianism/veganism!
Awesome to hear Spencer, been vegan for 2 years now keep it up, it only gets better, love that you are giving these diets a good shout out
Another great video Tour content is always interesting and professional. We have also gone off meat since seeing the Game changer documentary
I’ve been on the “plant based” diet for 2 months now. And everything you’ve said I 100% have felt. Gas for me has gone down but is still atrocious 😂 good shout on retraining your brain to getting used to seeing meals without meat on them because that was something I struggled with on my first month and I personally have felt like I’ve gained a marginal amount of energy. Not as much as they claim in the Game Changers but still a palpable amount nonetheless.
Try the Veganuary challenge next month it will help you make the shift to veganism which should be the end goal since you're doing it for ethical reasons. Whilst vegetarianism might seem ethical, the dairy and egg industry are more cruel than the meat industry believe me. Look it up they are the most miserable industries on Earth.
Absolutely love the DCU top! 💯
Hey Spen, great video. Importantly it's worth noting that carbs=/=weight gain, calories do. Most of the vegetables are also pretty low calorie options per volume as compared to meats any way.
Good luck with vegetarianism going forward - in full support of you!
Really interesting Spencer, really enjoyed the video!
I don't agree with some vegeterian 'ideals' but if it works for you and you don't want to tell others that they must do it. It's a decision every person makes for themselves
Over here I’m a lifelong vegetarian and trying to shift to meat and non vegetarian
why
Long time vegetarian here (10+ years) and now a vegan. I am certain that I will not go back to meat. I find it disgusting in every way. You’re doing a great job. If you want to know a bit about how bad the dairy industry is though, checkout Earthling Ed’s video called “this is the truth”. A real eye opener.
Nice video. See you in 6 months time.
Welcome back Spencer!
quality stuff Spence
I’m
Veggie and yo shusi has a massive vegan/veggie menu
Great being a vegetarian no hate at all, just curious if its for ethical reasons why not go vegan?
That's what I thought. It's clear he's not familiar with the dairy or poultry industry.
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake I think he does, knowing Spen he has a reason, I was just curious what it was.
@@bonusexitus2263 He stated near the end it's for ethical and environmental reasons. In that case, he'd be Vegan. He's not however, so it suggests he's not very well informed.
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake Agree with the sentiment boys but it takes time. Going direct from meat eating to vegan is way too big a mental shift for most people in one go. Stuff like this takes time
@@kiewea14 What?! He said it's his ambition to stay a Vegetarian!
That new awareness after going vegan 4 years ago made it tempting to become misanthropic but of course people are disconnected from the cruelty and death based on ignorance/social norms. Based on what you said at the end, in order to truly live by your ethics and values you should make your way towards veganism. Even vegetarian diets create unimaginable amounts of unnecessary suffering to these innocent sentient beings. Good luck on the journey thanks for sharing!
i could never
Only halfway through the video but seems like you think carbs are bad for you and cause weight gain, really the driver for weight gain or loss is calories so if you're burning more calories than you're consuming you lose weight
Hi man, I’ve watched you for years. Ive been vegan for a few years now, and have aspirations of studying nutritional sciences masters and then a phd. If you need any help at all - I would like to think I’m very knowledgeable on this subject so you can contact me or even set up a quick Skype call. A lot of people have done what you’ve done and then don’t stick to the lifestyle for whatever reason and hit some type of complication, I can help you with this 👍
@Spencer owen Hiya mate, right you talk me last Saturday afternoon?
way to go spence!
A good well-rounded opinion on this (usually not the case when it comes to these things), really enjoyed the video. My fiance is a registered dietician with the NHS but starting some independent work. Drop me a message if you're interested in using her knowledge to help better your own personal nutrition. Michael
would love for you to do a Gamechangers review
I don't agree with the ethical reasons but I can understand the environmental reason
hahaha so keeping animals in cages there whole lives without seeing daylight there whole life isnt an ethical reason to you? braindead at its finest
My dad made me watch the same documentary a mont ago and I said that nothing would change me but guess what I changed
Check out JRE 1389. There's nothing wrong with being vegan/vegetarian but the game changers doc is a non-scientific propaganda film
....that featured respected physician and doctors....
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake ...with biases clipped and edited by people with the same biases trying to push an agenda driven message through an engaging film
Recommend checking out some response videos to that episode to see the other side because ofc Joe is also biased. I was doubting the game changers when listening to that but the studies Kresser cites are few and flawed according to the other side. I checked out some of the studies and found the vegan perspective more compelling
64lundyco the science speaks for itself.
I did the exact same thing after watching The Gamechangers, I’m 5 days into veganism and I really do think about a lot of things differently. It really is a lifestyle choice hahah our environment is so unsuited for its crazy....
Our consumption of meat has a massive negative effect on the environment. Watch the video by The Daily Conversation
Blah blah blah
Spen, you should do a video on the Game Changers docu, and take in consideration all the lies told in that docu.
Kinda funny that James Cameron, as you said was the director, has millions of dollars invested in plant protein, and most of the athlets in the only been vegetarians for a few months or turned back into meat diet after that documentary.
And lets not talk about Arnold being in it, loooool.
Im just saying vegetarianism isnt very good, but basing it on that docu is straight stupid.
RIP Zac
Go watch joe Rogans podcast about the game changers doc 👌🏻
