My Mom was forced to go Vegan (Doctor's orders!)

Beware of animal products people! They will give you trouble in the long run :-/

Blood cholesterol levels can be reduced by a healthy plant based diet. That's what the doctor said.

Go Vegan!

This video is quite old. So wondering if your mom is vegan now, still sticking around? as you put it, I can hear your concern for her; I hope she is doing well.

[porolita22]

@DanielManahan No, she is not anymore. She stuck to the plant based diet for about a year and improved a lot, now she's back... though she watches her diet she does eat eggs and cheese, and of course meat. The only thing she still consumes is soymilk instead of dairy milk... that's the downside of doing it for health reasons, some people drop it when they get better, because there is no ethical commitment to do it all the way :-(

U post alot of vegan vids but u are a vegetarian which is great but u should become a full vegan to really unleash the full potential of a non animal diet and u won't regret it I promise(:

[porolita22]

@Pnutt5100 I am vegan, not vegetarian. There are older videos from when I was vegetarian, but I am vegan now.

I have tried a few times to go vegan, and it did not work out for me. But I really would like to. Maybe I can do better if I still eat some dairy. But at this point I am not really sure.

I am open to any advise that you might have on doing better.

Thanks.

@MrRobHere if you like dairy so much, maybe you can find alternative soy products that are really good. I personally don't consume them but maybe that would help you. The longer you don't consume them, the easier it will become. Trust me.

@Mithrandir901 wow genius aren't you?

@MrRobHere Hey MrRobHere! My friend had to go vegan for medical reasons, she has dietary issues and is gluten intolerant and soy intolerant, and is a former cheese addict! Anyways, my point I'm trying to get to, is that she misses her dairy, and things she loves to drink is Silk Coconut milk, or Silk chocolate almond milk. She always recommends tapioca based cheeses if you don't like soy cheese or rice cheese, since tapioca melts more easily. Also toffutti cream cheese and sour cream are great!

@MrRobHere The reason why it is difficult to get rid of dairy is because of its contents of a type of morphine that creates the addictive sensation and thus the cravings. Just be strong and add in the supplements such as rice milk, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, hemp milk etc etc. Also look at the John McDougall diet site, I`m on it now but will gradually move towards a more Raw diet as I`m going to a tropical country. =)

@porolita22 Try introduce her to the John McDougall diet, it is based on starches and there are no cravings because you will eat until your full, no calorie restriction. You could also introduce the new movie "Earthlings" to her in a gentle kind way.. eliminate free fats and oils from the diet as well... wish you all the best and God bless. =)

It's so ironic that food industries claim that the way they run things is the cheapest way we know how, yet everything they do comes at a cost. It costs 70% of grains being fed to cows and pigs and other animals we use for food, instead of letting them graze and feeding that grain to people in the world who are starving. It comes at the cost of people getting sick and having to pay the money they earned to get better, which ends up costing more than "special vegan products" in the long run.
