 but but but you're sick you're mentally ill now all right guys welcome back to the channel if you knew my name is Bobby guys today we're going to react to sweet natural living sweet natural living is a raw vegan slash fruitarian channel that i used to watch when i was a raw vegan myself i used to watch it and i used to enjoy their content roughly five years ago one of their most watched videos was what i eat in a day high cup raw vegan fruitarian with the famous thumbnail that said fruit is human food by now it reached almost 600 000 views so back in the day there were a pretty big deal within the raw vegan community as i said i enjoyed their content so therefore i'm going to be respectful with my video review of their newest video titled all the supplements i take as a vegan athlete let's have a look hey guys so long overdue video here's the supplements that i take as a vegan athlete living in norway okay first of all i definitely believe that with an optimal diet and lifestyle theoretically supplements would not be necessary i would agree but i'm not living an optimal lifestyle i'm a tropical animal i'm living in norway and that means that i will have to take it's honestly very surprising to me that he is still in that mind state back in the day five or six years ago yes we all fell for the same vegan slash raw vegan agenda and we believed to be tropical beings but doesn't take much anthropological knowledge to understand your genetics you are a man from norway you are not a tropical being by no means did you truly believe six years later that you're some sort of tropical monkey that thrives on fruit is honestly shocking to me some supplements no matter what and then the food quality you know what has the food quality where was it growing even if you were in an optimal environment you know there are things that might not be optimal and we can sort of play around with nutrition a little bit modified a little bit and i i'm all for that even if you are a purist fruitarian maybe um as some of you probably are watching this channel i used to be fruitarian i'm still a proponent of a fruit based diet humans are natural tropical frugivores and we thrive on a diet of fresh tropical fruits so i have to assume that you're not a frugivore any longer if it is our ideal natural diet why don't you eat it any longer why do you feel you have to supplement it that should explain everything you need to know but i can see that you are in denial i was in denial as well so i'm not pointing the finger when i was in Bangkok i blamed it on the dirty water supply i blamed it on the weather i blamed it on the hygiene and whatnot but i never blamed it on a vegan diet it is essentially stockhorn syndrome but without that tropical fruit available without that quality ripe fruit available we have to make some other choices and that means or at least i feel like i have to and then i have to sort of make up for it a little bit through supplementation so anyway let's take the obvious ones first okay vitamin d and by the way just quickly i'm not sponsored by any of these brands i bought it all with my own money vitamin d super important because we are tropical animals we would get natural stuff vitamin d super important because we are tropical animals but if you really look into the science you will find that most people cannot synthesize nearly enough vitamin d3 especially not the european type yes guess what race is a reality that being said blacks need even more vitamin d but vitamin d comes from organ meats of course when the skin gets exposed to sunshine you can synthesize some but not enough you would need to supplement this if you would eat liver for example light every day in the tropics outside of the tropics we're not getting enough sunlight and therefore not enough vitamin d certainly not in norway certainly not during winter so i supplement with vitamin d3 but you do understand that this here is your natural habitat again you are a european man from norway this is your natural environment in that natural environment you would have to eat what comes naturally to you fruits that have to be imported to norway are not natural i can't believe i have to explain this marriage four thousand international units per day yeah important on that note i'm not against supplements if you want to supplement vitamin d3 that is fine however to base your augmentation on a perceived natural environment is flawed here next up similar kind of thing b12 yeah so if we were in our natural environment we would naturally be exposed to the soil okay there will be bacteria living in the soil and on the fruit that we were eating and we would we would not wash our hands that is so wrong in so many ways if you look into somewhat quote unquote natural people and you see what kind of diets they eat you will see that naturally the human being eats animal foods all over the globe you can read western a price on that note so you see they're eating raw flesh they're drinking blood they're drinking milk they're eating predominantly animal based no matter where you go it's quite fascinating there is no solid proof out there that we got vitamin b12 out of dirt when you see gorillas in zoos they're eating their own feces to get vitamin b12 in nature they're eating insects and whatnot we always ate animal foods herbivorous animals produce b12 in their guts we cannot do that but we can eat them so we would naturally be exposed to that no microflora that exists in the nature and all around us really even here and those bacteria they produce b12 no bro and so we would naturally get b12 that way that naturally not how nature intended it to be that's how all the animals in nature get their b12 it's produced by soil bacteria and also really unflabbergasted i haven't watched your channel in probably three years or so and i really thought that after a while you will snap out of this delusion but you're reciting the same old propaganda every animal out in nature eats other animals even the so-called herbivorous animals eat animals look it up inside our intestinal system because of our environment now because of our habits washing our hands all the time etc which is probably a good thing in the grass game of things um we're not getting enough b12 perhaps also there's some issues with our gut flora now that we're not eating that optimal diet methylcobalamin b12 a thousand micrograms i take one every two three days i used to take five thousand every other day and that brought my levels up real high so great yeah it brings up the levels real high when they do a blood test because it is found within your blood but the absorption is still an issue many many people cannot absorb it then in their tissues so what you really want to know is how much b12 or any other vitamin is in your tissue you would need a tissue sample to really find out important as endurance athletes or an athlete in general so if you're an athlete and a runner you should also check out my running channel of course i'll put a link to it here next up omega three again tropical fruit has tons of omega three in the form of ala tons because i'm eating less tropical fruit which fruit has substantial amounts of fat aside from durians or avocados you have no oils in any other fruit and more other things my omega three to omega six ratio is a little bit skewed so i need to up my omega three intake and i'll just do that by taking this this is dha and epa and i'm not entirely you only repeat that because you heard it how do i know because everybody in the vegan community does it myself included back in the day i thought my issues come as well from a unbalance within the omega threes and omega sixes once you start eating meat again you don't feel any deficiencies i can go weeks and weeks on end without any fish and simply eat red meat which in theory has a bad omega three to omega six ratio but you will feel fantastic partly decided personally on whether we need to supplement with omega three or not as a vegan but i just opted for the safest choice and i i went ahead and did it so this is the safest choice would be to eat fish in this case here you don't know what you're getting many studies actually showed that you can find solvents within those vegan omega three supplements algae based omega three yeah clean and pure it's actually not clean nor pure and great so nor great again in a natural environment and natural diet we would actually get i think sufficient amounts of omega three of course i forgot to name the obvious none of those fruits you would find in nature in case you didn't get the memo those fruits are all man made and cultivated most of those fruits are seedless as well you wouldn't find them in nature just through the fruit just saying but that's sort of like a insurance policy just to be on the safe side oh iodine so the soil there's iodine issues all over the world really meat eaters and vegans alike have issues with iodine actually meat eaters also have issues with d and b12 people think oh vegans they don't get b12 actually most of the people deficient in b12 are meat eaters yeah well because they're not meat eaters they're not exclusive meat eaters or carnivores they simply are already on a plant based diet if you look into the food pyramid if you look into how people eat nowadays they eat at least 80 percent plants within their diet of course they are deficient so it's it's relevant for everyone if the soil lacks iodine the food will lack iodine and i've looked at my blood tests and i've definitely noticed that i had a little bit of an iodine issue at one point not a big one i supplemented with iodine and it reversed so now i take iodine once a day 225 micrograms and that's that's good again if you had if we had perfect food in the perfect environment you probably wouldn't need it iron think about your ancestors in that environment years ago when there were no supplements you are probably the first generation in norway to take supplements so those people were healthy those people were in a natural environment how did they do it you can get plenty of iron on a vegan diet no problem in fact no problem but i still take a supplement though it's there's a lot of the vegan diets real healthy vegan diets with lots of whole plant foods they have so much iron it's it's crazy but you don't have too much iron though and when you're eating meat you're actually getting something called heme iron which is easier to absorb but it also sometimes causes more problems and leads to too much iron sometimes which can be a big deadly problem actually okay so that leads to too much iron the vegan diet has crazy amounts of iron but you're gonna supplement iron anyway i've always had iron issues even from back when i was eating meat and that didn't help me at all um how much meat did you eat even when i'm consuming quite big amounts of actually a little bit of anecdotal evidence here the mother of my children was always anemic always and then went vegan of course that didn't fix her issue so she went to the doctor they prescribed her iron supplements it didn't do anything then she quit veganism but for the first time in her life she started eating a somewhat carnivorous ketogenic diet guess what now her iron levels are perfectly fine iron from from plants i'm still having some low iron issues could be due to my heavy training uh could be due to genetic arrest my case you're taking a supplement and you still have low iron levels because you're not absorbing it it is always the same if you start eating adequate amounts of red meat you would reclaim your health this absorption is so i find that i need to supplement actually with a high dose 100 milligrams of and that stuff actually oxidizes in your blood is a super toxic of iron to even just maintain my iron levels yeah that might not apply to you though next up calcium and by now you're probably thinking can't you just eat some meat eat some drink some milk get calcium yeah or whatever and you know there's there are nutrients in those foods sure you can get milk is a really solid source of calcium in terms of how much calcium is in milk but it's also a source of natural hormones for cows yes really for cows not humans you know and the macro not necessarily hormones are hormones of course those food contain hormones but guess what you already took a hormone you took vitamin d3 that is a hormone we labeled it as a vitamin but it is a hormone it is naturally occurring in animal foods so are other hormones those hormones are beneficial to our health that's it and sort of profile doesn't really fit our nutrient needs ideally and we see that a lot of a lot of the diseases that we have in the modern day and age are actually caused by eating too much animal products and not enough fruits and vegetables there is absolutely zero proof to the tropical fruit divorce so even though i could get calcium from cow's milk i'll get so much other stuff that i don't want along with that calcium that i like quality protein and saturated fats yeah who wants that instead to do a supplement and again back to our original diet if i was to eat real tropical fruit getting enough calcium would be super super easy you can easily get a thousand milligrams of calcium a day just eating like mangoes and papayas you sure about that as long as you get enough calories from fruit you'll get enough calcium iron why don't you do that then of the important nutrients you won't get vitamin d and vitamin b12 because those are not dietary nutrients they are environmental nutrients sunshine bacteria meat tropical fruit i choose to supplement with a little bit of calcium 500 milligrams a day just to be on the healthy side of optimal calcium intake especially one two three four five supplements and you're talking about healthy really important as a rock okay bro next up zinc it's kind of the same thing as with with iron having some issues with absorption i've never had issues with zinc though on my blood tests i do blood tests like once every three months maybe and they're usually very good um why so but because of that absorption show i'm thinking perhaps also there's an issue with zinc so every two or three days i take one zinc tablet 15 milligrams but i probably don't need to do that but i do it anyway just to be again on the safe side as an athlete vitamin k2 kind of similar thing as the b12 and again i'm not reacting here to judge you i wasn't the same boat i supplemented just as much if not even more but at some point you will have to realize that you are on a deficient diet this is why you do this it has nothing to do with your environment it has nothing to do with your lifestyle it has nothing to do with you being an athlete it has all to do with the vegan diet a from greens just a little bit of lettuce and fruits and vegetables in general has a lot of vitamin k and that convert gets some vitamin k2 in fermented plant foods however it is not the mk4 version which again makes it super hard to get absorbed if at all via bacteria to k2 and i'm probably fine i'm probably good you know my bacteria and my intestines are probably making k2 right now of course and there's no issue but i want to be on a safe side so i decided to supplement with vitamin k2 and it's just again he's not a dumb guy i actually like him intuitively he knows that he is lacking all of those nutrients this is why he supplements them and of course he feels terrible you can tell me what you want i've been there and thousands of others have been there just looking at you i know that you are suffering we're here to help and because i think i'm not being exposed to as much bacteria in my environment as i naturally would if i was living in tropics as a you would eat raw fermented animal foods you would get plenty of bacteria ape in nature and i am probably not having an opt my you know my gut flora is probably not optimal because i'm not eating again that that absolutely optimal diet so it could be pretty optimal still but just to be on the safe side in terms of that i decided to supplement with k2 as well what else that's it for the sort of normal supplements and i have a few other ones powders basically i take colin city colin um because i brain function i had some strange issues with with dizziness last year i still have it to some extent and i i was pretty desperate i wanted to try everything so i thought i'd introduce this i am better now i think that's for different reasons but it doesn't hurt uh you know some people have genetic issues that means that they don't don't have any genetic issues you are somewhat still a healthy young norwegian male and my heart goes out to you you're just suffering because you're malnourishing yourself that's it dizziness comes from your malnutrition it comes from total depletion if you continue with your athletic pursuits running in this case and your malnutrition you will suffer and get neurodegenerative diseases and i don't want that for you use as much colin and they should supplement and it's not because they're not eating meat or no but it is it is exactly because they're not eating meat you can find again studies on that note where you see that colin levels creatin levels as well are depleted within vegans and vegetarians not eating this or that it's because they're actually have a genetic makeup so that they actually need extra colin it's everything else but the vegan diet the best way to get extra colin now it's his genetics going to animal products which would cause different issues again health wise yeah they would make you healthy so i do that i also take a little bit of vitamin c now and then just because i or most days you're eating fruit all you're getting is vitamin c man because again i'm not just i'm not getting the huge amounts of tropical fruits that are naturally would i'm getting plenty of enough vitamin c to stay healthy and alive yeah but but but but you're sick you're mentally ill now this really the case and this is again not a judgment call or to attack you but you are truly mentally ill you've been depleted for so long that your brain is lacking nutrients and now you cannot make a rational decision you have to eat animal foods first in order to reclaim your health and then have a healthy brain that can make healthy decisions for again looking at optimal diet of lots of fruit and there will be a lot of vitamin c so i think we probably that's just my guess so we thrive on a little bit more vitamin c so i just increase it a little bit this is pure ascorbic acid ascorbic acid is not pure vitamin c i'm sure you know that and then we're really getting into the performance realm here where my next supplements now are really focused on performance as a runner so it doesn't matter if you're a meat eater or vegan or whatever if you're looking to maximize your performance your fitness there are certain supplements that might contribute to that first of all it's protein just adding in protein it's not really a supplement it's more of an actual food no it's actually a supplement this is pea protein and soy protein and i just add it in to my diet and that's not because it's difficult to get enough protein on a vegan diet it's actually pretty easy but it's all super easy it's super easy to get vitamin d3 b12 protein as well no worries but i'm going to supplement all of it because it's super easy because man i actually want to get quite a lot of protein and that's just more convenient and digest a little bit better for me than eating tons of beans and lentils exactly right and this is why it's not easy to get enough protein so in theory black beans have protein but in order for you to get 200 grams of protein out of black beans you will wreck your digestion you will get terribly sick this is why all of the vegans again my past included resort to protein powders this is the only way to get some amino acids into your blood great foods too of course and they have plenty of protein as do all foods all foods have protein some more than others loosing and i take uh well i take loosing because it's sort of again emphasizes because you know exactly that you cannot find enough loosing within your plant-based protein sources on the other hand you have super high amounts of loosing within meat you know that this is why you supplemented because again intuitively rationally intellectually you totally understand that the vegan diet is deficient increases that and if meat is so bad because of loosing because of the amino acid profile etc etc etc why do you supplement exactly those nutrients protein synthesis the muscle protein synthesis effect after training pretty well documented effect i'm essentially doping but in a healthy way and using do you take creatin bro eagle products and just basically trying to get the most out of my fitness and then lately i've had an injury tendon injuries so again i'm going to the supplements i'm pretty all in on the supplements right now yeah we'll see if that changes in the future but i don't see a problem with it it's it's just food really but i have been taking three life the good thing about this is that this is end stage veganism so in the end stage of veganism you try everything you try everything to cling on to your vegan diet and this is what i see here this is what everybody sees this is why you do this because you're desperate you try to make it work but this in most cases is the last attempt after supplementing everything they realize they still feel miserable and then they drop out of veganism protein and lysine amino acids that are essential in collagen formation okay so that's the that's the tendon formation in the body you could simply supplement if you love supplement so much collagen and so that's why i do that tendon repair and that's what i want now that i have a tendon injury probably i'm going to continue with it just to keep my tendon strong though and if you think that it's possible just to take just to eat meat again cartilage and get like collagen that way bone bro that is true but again you would get all those other negative things that you get from what would you get if you really are so into supplements again take hydrolyzed beef protein take collagen supplements so you would get rid of all the bad things all the nasties there would be no cholesterol in it etc etc you believe is bad why wouldn't you supplement such a supplement you don't because you became religious you bought into the cult doctrine and this is why you have to resort to only plant-based supplements they're not getting absorbed they don't do anything you will get further injured and further damage your body meat and dairy products animal foods are just in the scientific literature it's quite clear that the bias is towards a whole food plant-based diet if you want to be healthy okay so i just i don't see how you can sort of not operate animal foods without getting into trouble i prefer then to just stick to the supplements plus even if you did supplement with collagen or or foods that contain collagen like cartilage and bone broth and all that um that's not really that effective because it doesn't have as much glycine and that's really where the bottleneck is according to some studies that i've read of course you will find some sort of excuse now pure collagen is not enough collagen now you need the glycine and only with synthesized plant-based glycine you can repair your tendons that you rupture it on a plant-based diet yes so you really want to get glycine that's the main thing and these two i'm not really sure if i need those glycine and proline but i don't want to take any chances and i just want to do the best that i can now that i have this tendon injury that's right instead of eating a steak i'm just want to take 37 supplements because i want to be on the safe side i have another one here it's it's not losing actually it's just in the losing bag and that's carnitine again a nutrient that does exist in meat but we actually produce our own carnitine but we actually produce our own you know it's not like it is deficient within the vegan diet but i'm gonna supplement that one as well some people have genetic disorders that make them produce less carnitine yeah and those carnitine meat it comes from the word meat it is so obvious and you still cannot see again not attacking you i used to watch your channel i'm in here in peace i'm trying to help you out here you don't see it can't see it because you're blinded you're still in cult mentality and on top of that again your brain doesn't function please just try it do experiment for two weeks straight just try eating fish for two weeks your brain will turn back on and you will see this for what it is it is just a bunch of chemicals they cannot make your healthy man people probably should supplement with it and i don't know if i'm one of those people and again i had those weird dizziness issues last year and still um and some people will take that and say oh it's because you're vegan yeah bro i honestly don't think so i really thought about all the different nutrients you thought about it but did you try it and for example you can always go back to veganism afterwards what will change in the grand scheme of things just try it out for two weeks eat a bunch of sushi sashimi but salmon see where it takes you carnitine and and uh colin was two of those nutrients that i sort of incorporated because i wasn't sure and i was like could it be something that i'm lacking in my diet and stage veganism i haven't been able to come up with a good idea of what that could be my blood test doesn't show any indicators that there's anything lacking and i've also spoken to doctors and they they agree that it seems to be something other than my diet sure however i do doctors absolutely cruel as i had digestive issues on a daily basis i had tooth pain teeth were rotting out i was depressed i had zero libido i was going from doctor to doctor because i was stupid simple as that absolute indenial absolutely delusional everybody that was somewhat sane would have seen that it was my vegan diet i didn't see it and guess what the expert didn't see it either went to the doctors i talked about it i told them that i'm vegan and nobody thought that the vegan diet would be an issue it must be something else i think actually that it relates somehow to sodium and electrolytes i seem to be able to modify my dizziness somehow by modulating my intake of sodium so it has to do with something like that i think which it helps to have a balanced sodium and potassium intake that really can do wonders try it out if you must but in the end he won't escape your true natural diet meat again comes back to why do i have that in the first place and i think that's actually because of the vaccine that i took back in 2016 against rabies i got some serious side effects following that vaccine and i think i'm still struggling with it to this day if you've been following the channel i'm definitely not pro vex and therefore yes it would be that you have some side effects however the dizziness that you're experiencing now is your depletion otherwise it would have started right after the jet you're simply getting more and more depleted look at your eyes look at your skin you can tell man it doesn't take a rocket scientist again just try it out for two weeks a long video after all but those are my supplements pretty crazy when you look at it like that but really you know when you're eating a food like a banana or whatever you're getting thousands of different nutrients okay it's all in there and if you just increase it's all in there the banana is man made as i said before we never ate bananas on the balcony for example where my parents are from we never had bananas until the 90s those people don't even know what banana is those bananas have been cultivated those bananas are seedless of course they do not contain everything we need animals do the content a little bit that would just be like eating a fruit with a little bit more vitamin c that wouldn't really be a problem and that's the case for most of these nutrients i i'm taking them in amounts that are proven to be safe by studies i am essentially trying to mimic our natural fruit diet no you're actually trying to mimic is a man i can't believe this you're trying to mimic meat this is where you take carnitin this is where you take colon this is so damn obvious no fruit has carnitin or colon and looking at literature of you know what's the optimal nutrition profile etc and just essentially experimenting and trying to tweak things to optimize as well as i can in a situation that's that's an obsessive disorder you really try to reinvent the wheel that's what you're doing you try to find those nutrients somewhere just eat a steak optimal being outside of the tropics and not eating a tropical fruit diet so you are a white male you do not belong into the tropics i found a way to live pretty healthy i think i'm pretty happy about this you're happy about this i'm happy with the supplements and i'm happy with the foods although i would be happier with a tropical fruit diet i'm pretty happy like this as well and i feel healthy except for my weird dishes business issues i guess and my fitness and training is going pretty well except for my little injury but hey um there's always challenges in life and overall i'm pretty content if you have all right and this the video is long enough so i'm gonna cut it off right here again i wish you well no hate video here i really want you to reclaim your health take my advice or leave it up to you if i were you actually i was you kind of similar i ditched those supplements and i started eating fish after two weeks you won't be able to deny it the proof is in the pudding as they say give it a shot or not
