 So your diet should consist out of alcohol, black chocolate and berries. Yes! All right guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby, guys. Today we're going to check out BBC's latest video called Is a Vegan Diet Healthier Than Eating Meat and Dairy? Vegan versus meat and experiment with identical twins. Usually BBC's content is heavily copy strike protected. So let's see if they're going to take this video down. Nevertheless, let's check out what is healthier. I really wonder. Let's have a look. We have been exploring adventuring for the last 10 years, and a big part of adventuring is preparing your body. For us, trying to keep our fitness interesting and trying to keep ourselves motivated, we tend to try and focus on these three month segments of fitness. Because we're genetically identical. So essentially what they say is you have two identical twins. They're both in their 30s now. They both grew up eating meat. And now for a couple of weeks they're going to eat vegan and then tell you how good veganism is. We can compare various different foods, training regimes, and find out what works for us. So we wanted to test plant-free animal. What was the best? What was the worst? What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks? Let's go. We wanted to use the model of identical twins, who are genetic clones, in order to test the effects of diet and exercise on the way they respond to foods. As I said in the beginning, it is a short-term experiment. You have a 12-week experiment. In 12 weeks, no, you're not going to get deficient. This is useless. You turned vegan. The vegans would claim differently, though. You just went plant-based. It's a bit vague. Calories. What does it mean? How about the macros? How about the macros? Go figure. I was on the vegan diet and it really does take a hit on your body. I think the first couple of weeks, it was really craving of wanting meat and dairy and cheese. Love cheese. I was now having to eat fruit and nuts and alternatives that didn't have any dairy in. So that meant I was eating a lot more wholesome food, I was eating a lot more wholesome food, which meant that my sugar levels were a lot more satiated during the day. I felt like that happened. It doesn't make any logical sense whatsoever. So first and foremost, you're craving your species-specific diet. It is that simple. You were already an athlete before that and pretty lean. So don't tell me that you were living on junk food. You were already eating a somewhat healthy diet prior to veganism. And now you call it wholesome food because you've been brainwashed. Why is that wholesome food and meat and dairy is not wholesome? What defines wholesome? On top of that, he says, my sugar levels were much more stable. How? If you would really eat a diet based on dairy and meat, your sugar levels wouldn't rise and wouldn't drop. They would be constant all the way through. It is that simple. However, if you're eating carbs all day long, you have to constantly refuel in order to keep that sugar level constant. So maybe that's what he means. I felt like I had more energy. Performance was up and down a little bit more for me on my meat diet. I'd have a few days where I was very energetic in the gym and then I'd have huge levels as well, whereas Hugo is far more sustained and satiated with energy levels. Again, the whole explanation is very vague. He says he had great outbursts of energy and then pretty big lows. What does that mean? So you had a huge energy outburst and therefore you lifted heavy weights and therefore after that, you might need more recovery and hence you cannot work out as heavy. The vegan, on the other hand, is in a weakened state, can't work out that heavy and hence doesn't need to recover as much. Being a vegan and going through that 12-week period, my diversity of gut bacteria severely dropped, whereas mine stayed the same, which meant that I was less susceptible to illness. It could be that that diversity he was getting from dairy products and those other fats in meats led to a slight reduction in the diversity. They're already in the top 5% of their gut microbiome health, so it's hard for them to push it further than that. There you have it. This guy just proved my point. They were already in a good microbiome health state, which means they already had a healthy diet prior to this experiment. There you go, healthy athletes, of course. Fair enough. I'm actually happy to see this. They're not pushing veganism, but of course, they're pushing diversity. Just to give yourself time and aim to have 30 different plants a week to give it that diversity. Second is to always try and pick plants that have these natural chemicals called polyphenols in them, which gives them the bright colors or the bitter tastes. White things like brightly colored berries or nuts or seeds, things like coffee, things like dark chocolate and even red wine. Fantastic. So your diet should consist out of alcohol, black chocolate and berries. Yes. Thirdly, probiotic. Having foods that contain live microbes themselves like traditionally yoghurt, kaffir, kombucha. And finally, it's cutting out ultra-processed food. Watching Hugo eat all his vegan food, you do realize he had to stop there. His vegan food. Much processed or, I say, crap food you do eat compared to a vegan. And you do become quite aware. You go, oh, God, I feel guilty the whole time when you're next to somebody eating very, very healthy food. But why is it very, very healthy? Yet again, there is never an explanation. We only take it at face value. Vegetables and fruits are healthy. Why? Explain. On average, vegans are healthier than meat eaters. But within that, there's a huge range and there's some very unhealthy vegans and vegan diets. And it does depend on the quality of the food. It's not about whether you have meat on your plate or not. And many vegans often find themselves eating ultra-processed food because of reformulating standard foods, particularly dairy substitutes and meat substitutes. I don't expect anything less from the BBC. As I said, at least they're not pushing veganism. But at the same time, they're pushing nonsense. They're pushing misinformation. And therefore, they leave people confused. It seems that's the main job of the media nowadays. How can vegans be healthier? It is a completely deficient, quote, unquote, diet. It's not even a diet. It is a fast. You have no fat soluble vitamins within a vegan diet. You have no creatin, no carnus and no cholesterol. How can such a deficient way of eating be healthy? There is not one person in the mainstream media that will ever address that. Wow. We both have high cholesterol because we lose a lot of weight on expeditions. Hugo's cholesterol dropped off the scale on the vegan diet. Whereas my regular meat diet just stayed the same. My obesity level dropped. My resistance to the type. This is the issue with the modern day and age. It's in the subtleties. When you put on a porn, for example, you already know it is bad. You see naked people doing all kinds of ungodly things. You already know instinctively this is not wholesome, a family entertainment. However, with Netflix, BBC, all the mainstream stuff that we are absorbing on a daily basis, normality is sold to you. You have the Kardashians. You have Jersey Shore. You have all kinds of degenerate formats that give you the impression that it is normal to behave in that way. Now you watch this show. Seems pretty unbiased. Two twins, genetically identical. One eats vegan. The other one eats meat. What will happen? But in reality, again, it's those subtleties. Oh, my cholesterol dropped. Great. Why does Hong Kong have the highest life expectancy with the highest cholesterol levels? Nobody asks and nobody cares because they're not interested in telling you what is truly healthy. Higher cholesterol is linked to longevity every single time. But here in the West, they want to sell you statins. So let's just proceed. Let's not question it. Everything went well. Actually, we're just identical. Everything went great. You've been malnourishing yourself for 12 weeks. Congratulations, your cholesterol dropped. How would it be long term? You already said I was on a vegan diet. Why are you not anymore? Resistance to type 2 diabetes also increased. Athletes do it to improve performance. Normal humans will do it just to feel less tired, feel less hungry, put on less weight. Yeah, try feeling less hungry on a vegan diet. Yeah. See, exactly that. This all helps us to understand that there is no universal diet. Just shut down your mind. Go to the supermarket and consume. I've slightly changed my diet in the sense that I eat a lot more different things. Eat the rainbow, eat everything in moderation. You have a balanced diet. That's really the key, I think. If somebody says about you need to do this certain diet with these weights to get the results, question it a little bit. Just go and have fun with the experiment. Find out what works for you. Question it a little bit. All right, that's it for today's video. As I said, I hope this doesn't get copyright strike. It will surely get demonetized. So if you liked this video, at least leave it a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so. And let me know in the comment section below if a balanced diet is the way to go. What do you think, guys? Is a vegan diet healthier? Absolutely phenomenal work, BBC. Congratulations. All right, but this is it for today. As always, guys, may God bless you all. Much love and peace.
