 What's going on guys I'm here with the lovely Isabel and before we get started we have to do a makeup check. Just uh just for those of you who think that us carnivore dieters need to wear makeup to uh you know you didn't you have to show the they didn't see it yeah there you go. Just so people think us carnivore dieters aren't wearing makeup to hide our horrible skin complexion so Isabel is going to share her experience with veganism with us so I'll let her take it from here. So um I wore vegan two years ago I did have no health issue whatsoever before I was pretty healthy I didn't have to lose any weight uh my skin was perfect this is actually from a vegan diet that we're going to cover um a little later on and um yeah I grew up eating pretty much lots of animal products lots of milk lots of beef lots of fish and um I went vegan because I started to see all these youtubers and all these instagrammer all these people on the internet they were promoting the vegan diet and they were liars. Exactly they were saying they were just talking about all the health benefit that they were having and I thought that you know what like that diet that's next level I want to you know I want to get into that I want to level up you know my health if that's so good you know I don't want to miss that out so I went into it and for the first uh ninth month to a year I would say like I think that happens to every vegan like we experience like good benefits with it well we have no issue you know we you can see like the harm that you're doing to the body in that short term so it was all good after that I started having digestive problems really really bad digestive problems um I will be constipated for weeks weeks and weeks and um yeah like really really bad lots of pain on my abdominal I even gained weight I started to have acne I've never had acne in my life before and my skin started to break out I even got like grain hair which I ripped a little while that it was an efficiency of B12 could be causing that even though I was taking you know my supplements every day and what else like depression I'm the happy scale that you will see and I got depression and like pretty much everything that you can think of like side effects of a vegan diet I I experienced that and um so after all those like negative side effects that I was experiencing I don't know how but I came across the carnivore diet zero carb diet and uh first of all I thought that was super crazy because I was already constipated on a high fiber diet so I was like how am I gonna consume zero fiber I'm gonna die I'm you know like constipation because every people I talk to about my health problems they will tell me you just need to eat my fiber just just to be clear the reason you you know straight away from the vegan diet let's kind of just emphasize the health problems you were having okay and and you were kind of still you still had some kind of reservations you still had some confidence in the vegan diet despite having these health problems uh I did I did I think all beings do like all beings think that you know that it it takes a while for us to stop thinking that that was not healthy that you know that we don't need fiber than you know that you know we need we don't need to eat so much plants uh to be healthy it's it takes a while for your brain to rewire so uh yeah I every people I saw they were telling me in my fiber and I thought carnivore was crazy until I decided to give it a shot because I was so desperate that I would try anything the symptom that you were so desperate about being the constipation that was the main issue yeah despite despite the weight gain despite my scheme uh the fact that I was constipated all the time and that was so bloated all the time extremely bloated I will look like like I had three months and you know that that was not normal people say well it's normal for some people to be constipated for you know a couple of days well that's not normal whoever's telling you that that's not normal and just to be clear I mean people are going to argue that oh well you didn't do the vegan diet properly but uh you know I'm assuming you were taking supplements you were trying having a variety of foods you were consuming kind of like what people would consider higher protein and higher fiber foods like whole plant-based foods absolutely I was I mean I loved rice brown rice quinoa I was eating a lot of potatoes plantains I was supplementing with a b12 I was taking another like old vitamin multivitamin I was doing it like the rightest thing that you will ever do any kale shakes any kale shake by chance any kale shake kale shake like blender any blender action no no no I didn't ate kale so she had mostly just whole food plant-based stuff exactly no crazy shakes like no no no I had all that like lots of oatmeal lots of berries you know fruit healthy fruits everything in moderation nothing like super crazy I wouldn't go like one day eating just vegetables or just fruits I balance it out and so it was it was I would say like the right way to do the vegan diet despite the fact that I was constantly researching I was constantly looking for new recipes looking for new ways to cook your food to prepare your food make your food look good and healthy so yeah what by like standard definition you know conventional wisdom anyone that you told that diet to they'd be like oh she must be eating really really healthy you know she's eating all these whole grains she's eating high fiber food exactly she's having high protein grains as well so that's how doctors couldn't understand why I was having all these issues because they thought I was doing you know like the right thing I was consuming all these grains all these veggies so they for for them there was nothing that I could do to better what I was doing so despite all of these symptoms you know you had depression you had bad acne you were gaining weight until it became a detriment to your daily life to an extreme extent that was the point where it was like okay I need to figure this out because unfortunately most vegans will keep trying to kind of fix the vegan diet and try to find a solution but in your scenario you being so bloated you just kind of started looking for whatever you could do I was desperate yeah I was feeling so horrible that I was desperate and I started consuming animal products but again I was so hardwired with a vegan diet that I stopped and I wouldn't eat any animal product for three or four days and I went back to my vegan diet and then I started feeling horrible again and you know I was in that cycle for a while for I would say like a month or maybe a month and a half doing you know like back and forth back and forth until I say like you know this is enough I don't feel good on this this is what makes me feel good and so I started doing carnivore full time so you were switching between vegan and carnivore exactly that's that's pretty crazy I know but you know I had all these things I was researching so much and I had all these things you know like fiber it holds grains or grains if you go to any diet page or any health page they're going to tell you grains grains are awesome grains grains grains and so you know it was so hard wired with that that for me it was keep you know it was coming up on my head all the time every time I was like eating something you know eating beef or something it would come to my mind oh but grains are healthy and I would try to eat grains again and then I would feel horrible again so I was in that cycle for a while yes yeah that's really interesting that you know you had all these problems on this vegan diet and then you try to go carnivore but then for some reason you keep thinking that you can go back to to eating grains and it's going to fix things yet in the first place it's what caused the problem exactly so that turning point that period of a month how was that like where was the switch where you were like what what was the day where you were just like okay I'm going full carnivore and that was the day when I was at the hospital and I was loaded for I would say maybe a week we can have I couldn't go to school I couldn't do anything I was in pain all day you know like that really because before that yes I got loaded and I got constipated but it will go away I'll say you know within a week week or something but this time it took so long and I felt like I reached my you know I reached the bottom I was like this is not right I'm not supposed to be feeling like this I gotta do something about it and you know my mom told me even my mom told me my mom was like you know you're not a cow you're not supposed to be eating all those things you know stop doing that eat some fish eat some meat and you're gonna be fine you're gonna be okay so that's what I started doing it's funny that non-americans especially Europeans and you know I mean where you're from Puerto Ricans they have this old school cultural wisdom it's so simple and it's so right Americans just throw it out the window as if it's nothing it's unfortunate that's what happened to me since I moved here like you know I was like everything was so simple and so right for me that and I thought I was doing something wrong when I saw all these people doing these vegan diets and going crazy with you know like Vietta was on all those things that I they were eating that I was no I thought well I'm gonna get cancer or something I didn't want that so yeah we had an Italian girl on a couple months ago and her mother told her what are you doing you're not a chicken you don't you can't eat all these grains exactly that's why my mom told me my man you know that that that really like resonated with me she was like you're not a cow you know you're not supposed to be eating you know so many vegetables you're not a cow so that was pretty drastic though you going from you know veganism to a carnivore diet now it was hard so you've been carnivore for about about a month a month now and the breakouts have stopped how what are the improvements like you're back to normal kind of where you were before the vegan diet I haven't been constipated on the carnivore diet not even one day that's for me like you know the best thing and um my skin like I haven't had any new breakout like overall my skin like it looks so much better that I'm taking uh coat liver oil as a supplement too and maybe that's helping uh my digestion like it's so I can't eat like it can't eat like one tip on like two tip on so you know like I couldn't get bloated at all I have a lot of energy I feel so much like strong and muscular and I'm not even going to the gym but that's crazy like I'm losing all the fat I lose I lost weight I lost all the weight that I gained when I first went vegan and I feel like I'm losing prior to when I was in the vegan diet I feel like I'm losing fat instead of muscle that's why I feel so strong this is the amazing thing about the carnivore diet you lose weight you increase your lean body mass your skin cleared up now but let's be very clear to everyone you had pretty much perfect skin before you went veganism absolutely it was 100% perfect everybody was yellow of my skin before like everybody I never had a breakout like never ever but you know people wouldn't understand you know like what's going on with you're gaining weight you're breaking out like what's going on with there did you have a message just to I mean everyone in general but in particular young girls who might be vulnerable to this type of information how old were you when you started veganism I was 19 years so very very you know kind of unexposed to nutrition in general never really had a reason to worry about nutrition or health at any point in your life so I would say all these girls that you know don't follow those things vegan diet is a trap don't don't you know like don't think about it don't go vegan you know meat is not going to give you cancer what you know that you that you are supposed to be eating we're eating we've been eating all those things for a reason you know we've been eating meat things asian times for a reason and we've been doing all those things for something and you know like you're at a point where you're really really vulnerable with everything and you're exposed to so many things uh with social media on youtube and instagram all those things so be very like skeptical don't don't just buy it like I did don't do it because you know it's going to harm your body and maybe by the time you realize it's going to be too late you know like hopefully no hopefully there's nothing like any irreversible damage done to you but you know there could be there could be some and you're gonna regret it we don't want that I don't I really wouldn't want any other girl to suffer the things that I suffered just because I didn't have any other information because every time I researched for something you know like beyond what's the saying grace were the best pay it the most you know you know a big reason that a lot of girls will look into veganism might be part of the ethical the environment thing and unfortunately you know there is a lot more information that pushes those agendas than the health agenda necessarily uh do you think you're unique in a scenario where you kind of fell into veganism for health whereas other girls might be looking at the environment they might be looking at you know an ethical sort of view or did that play a role too for me it didn't play a role at all like I never tried to convince anybody to go vegan I I was doing it because I thought that was the right thing for me to do at that point um I never really cared too much about the animals I'm sorry so it wasn't super hard for me to go back eating carnivore because I was carnivore my whole life before so um no for me that wasn't an issue but for some girls I think I think that's what they attach the most to go vegan because you know you see all those videos of the animals suffering and it's really easy to you know feel something between and um so I think I think um I think for the for the for these girls they use the animal um I don't know how you say that like the animal suffering the ethical exactly the moral the moral side of veganism as well as environmental to really good things to be attached to to stay vegan you know and if you understand what I'm trying to say I say yeah unfortunately those girls don't see they don't see the deer getting ground up in the harvesters they don't see all the animals getting displayed exactly and it's actually the opposite everything that you're telling the vegan diet it's the opposite what what's true they don't see that corporations are literally producing like 70 plus of greenhouse gas emissions yet they're blaming people you know they don't know that if you literally stopped driving your car that's the equivalent of like three vegans there's a lot of misleading done to get people on the vegan agenda and it's really unfortunate yeah since I want vegan I experience all these side effects side effects uh that uh that I had and that was pretty much because of all the misleading information that I was being bombarded with and all the information that these people on the internet were sharing but uh everything that happened to me is pretty much reversible you know my skin's gonna heal you're seeing it now but it's gonna be great in a month or two and I lost all the excess weight that I gained um but for for some for some other cares like they may not be this lucky and they make so for serious uh health issues that are not gonna be probably reversible now and for me even there's things that are not reversible like I'm not able to eat grains again I ate oatmeal the other day and I you know I well bloated I got constipated for three days so I'm not gonna toss your grain anymore uh and that's you know that's bad for other people I would say that they could be uh much worse damage done that may not be reversible well Isabel thank you so much for sharing your story I hope some uh some people will actually listen and take it to heart before they consider going on a vegan diet I think that you know there are way too many anecdotal experiences of this yet people still just uh you know full silent you know it's it's interesting you could make uh you could make videos trying to explain to vegans the problems with the vegan diet and then when there is actually a video of a person that is no longer vegan they say oh well they were never vegan in the first place or they say oh well they did a vegan diet wrong or it's just like radio silence they don't really unfortunately have anything to say but uh again Isabel I can't thank you enough for for sharing your story with everyone uh thank you do you want to say anything to my uh my silly group of subscribers I love them actually I pretty much went carnivore uh because of your videos because of the information that I was finding in the internet otherwise I would see be you know like on the circle of being and feeling bad and then trying to go vegan and do it right again and all that so I would say to all these people like listen to this guy he he's he's he's got it right so I like him subscribe to his channel all right like I review all your videos and all the information like everything everything so listen to him make sense it's scientifically correct I like it you could be my PR person so let's say goodbye to everyone bye guys thanks for joining us
