 show me the studies show me the studies show me that all right guys welcome back to the channel if you're new my name is Bobby guys today a little sit down video we're gonna talk about my time before I went vegan because nowadays it's quite easy to get pulled into the vegan bubble you go online you see some vegan role models and you follow their lead but once upon a time there were no vegan role models they were only real life vegans and today I want to talk about exactly those encounters the first vegans that I saw in real life and what I was thinking about them whilst I was still a meat eater so the first time that I saw a real life vegan that must have been around about 2007 2008 I was working out religiously I was really into bodybuilding and nothing else mattered there was one guy in the gym that was training really really hard but had no progress whatsoever no gains whatsoever I asked him how long he's been training and he told me it has been over 10 years however there were no gains to be seen no results and I was really wondering what was up with him so I started talking to him and I wanted to assist him I was a bodybuilder after all training six times per week eating six meals per day rice and chicken every two hours I wanted to help the guy out but this man didn't want my help why was that so you already know the answer this man was a vegan when I asked him where he gets his protein from and this was not motivated through some memes this was really my question his answer was through pasta grains everything has protein every single plant food has protein this man ensured me and he told me if you really must then you can eat some tofu on top you get enough protein as is it is all propaganda he even started talking about certain studies and how much protein we truly need needless to say I was not impressed as I said in real life there were no gains no results whatsoever on top of that I will never forget how agitated this man was kind of angry even I asked him as politely and nicely as possible I asked him if I can help him out if I can assist him with his diet he got even more angry now looking back I do understand why that was right the bad bad meat eater trying to convince him quite funny back then I didn't understand it that was my first encounter with a real life vegan and this experience brought me far away from veganism because I heard about it somewhere but once I saw veganism in real life I was completely turned off no way in hell I said to myself I will manage myself like that I do love animals like anybody else but I'm not gonna do that to myself so that was the first encounter second encounter happened in Bali I was already experimenting with vegetarianism but I went back to eating meat because I couldn't sustain myself back then I still had a little bit of common sense left and I didn't fall for that trap however it was exactly in Bali I was in a hostel and I was passing by a room just to look into it and see a girl laying in bed no guys not what you're thinking that girl looked sick she truly looked like she needs help so I went into the room and tried to cheer her up I asked her what's up how she feels if she wants to join the others on that day we want to take our scooters and go for a ride explore the island so I wanted to invite her however she told me that she feels very very sick and she cannot come out I asked her is it the flu do you have some sort of infection what happened is it the dengue fever maybe she answered no it is because I'm a vegan obviously I wasn't satisfied with that answer so therefore I started digging and I started asking why are you feeling so weak because of veganism that's kind of strange don't you want to eat something feel better feel healthier she ensured me that back in the day she was traveling through India and everything was perfectly fine because in India they have perfect vegan food however in Bali that is not the case and therefore she cannot come out she has to stay in bed I tried to offer her some eggs I said come on you have to nourish yourself I understand you're a vegan but maybe you will try some dairy some eggs obviously now looking back I do understand that out of the vegan perspective nobody would say yes to my offer even me when I was a vegan I wouldn't say yes to dairy or eggs of course not however from a common sensical perspective my offer made all the sense in the world this girl was malnourished let's assume that in some sort of magical fairytale country she can get all her nutrients through supplementation and whatnot and now being there in Bali she can't do so so she endures suffering and tortures herself for some sort of arbitrary go that was my second encounter with veganism so guys after that sure I met a couple of other vegans maybe little less extreme examples however I chose my two first encounters that I wanted to share with you this was before the youtube era this was before the big vegan boom this was the real life everybody knew vegans are weak vegans are malnourished vegans make no gains vegans are sick however nowadays you have this youtube world where people that have been vegan for a year or two that are on steroids or supplement heavily just to cope with their malnutrition and then they will tell you veganism is the way to go and our children and teenagers copy that example meanwhile the reality looks so different if you talk to people that truly have vegan friends or they live around vegans it is always the same story those people are not healthy those people are always sick it is a mirage social media comes with great benefits but social media comes with dire consequences as well it is not real life guys it is a facade it is a fairy tale it does not exist and you see it with the long-term vegans finally it starts creeping in on youtube you can see how they truly look like show me the studies show me the studies show me that guys come on let's be honest we've seen what happens to healthy people on a vegan diet nobody achieves their goals you see the athletes they're ruining their career you see normal people wrecking their digestion ruining their relationships getting depressed anxious and whatnot anyways guys the video is long enough just a quick sit down video where i wanted to share my real experience with vegans before i was a vegan myself the reason why i share this with you is to remind you that it's all on social media in real life if you look around first and foremost you don't find many vegans secondly if you see them you can point them out it is the weak gray-looking person with no gains every single time don't fall for that trap all right that's it for today's video if you liked it leave it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already
