 What's going on guys? I actually started getting you know, I'm also a little bit upset when I saw the title of this video Pregnant vegan and you know when the health of people and especially children and people who don't really have control of what they're being fed Is that concern? You know we need to understand that the most important part of a diet is its nutrient density and Nutrient density is achieved through consuming high vitamin animal foods as plant foods do not metabolize as well in the human digestive system so Before we get into that in this video if you guys want to clarify those things I have a bunch of videos on fat soluble bottom is and things like that that I will link in the description but for now, let's just jump into this video and kind of Just go over the meals talk about the pros and cons and any just maybe her behavior in general Morning guys, welcome to another video if you're new around here My name is ginti and I filmed this video a couple of days ago and last week's video I told you guys that I was pregnant So in this video, it's going to be a little pregnancy update I'm going to share with you what I eat as a pregnant vegan mom So yeah, that's what this video is about and I will mention one other thing when I watched the video I was like am I like Really wingy do I keep do I keep wingy? So I just want to make it clear that I'm just so incredibly grateful and feel so blessed to be pregnant and truly love pregnancy But yeah, sometimes In the first time I start it can be tough and that's just the reality of it for me I hope you enjoyed this video Let me know what you think in the comment section and if you did like it, please give it a thumbs up It really supports our channel. So yeah, let's get into it I hate to talk about how cookie cutter vegan diets are but I think the last like three or four Vegan day of eatings I've watched they start with lemon water Barley grass juice powder. I can't imagine there's anything in there besides maybe Small amounts of certain plant vitamins and minerals and spirulina We'll talk about it afterwards. Although it is a better source of carotenoids because it converts at a better rate and has Amounts of omega-6. I believe what is it? Let me just look at it right now actually Spirulina contains pre-converted gamma linoleic acid from the parent omega-6 fat an essential fatty acid, which Unfortunately is not dha Okay, so for breakfast by having porridge It's a nut milk some cinnamon and some dates now. I'll show you how I make it This meal right here The problem with the oats the nut milks. They are incredibly high In phytic acid oxalates lectins saponins trips and inhibitors there's a lot of anti nutrients in these grains and The way to reduce them is to soak them and I do not understand why I don't see more vegans Soaking their grains. I don't understand why I don't see people You know, you don't just need to soak it once you need to remove You know, you soak it with salted water rinse it a couple times soak it multiple times to reduce the anti nutrient content And in the case of this you have the oats which have a high anti nutrient content You have and then you have two nut milks which have a high anti nutrient content So you're pretty much taking a huge amount of phytic acid In this meal, which is inhibiting any sort of mineral absorption. You might have whatsoever and in regards to what might have trace amounts of Even even the nut butters. It's just going to be some fats That's all it is and then a bunch of other anti nutrients because they're nuts or seeds And then you have the fruit which might have a small amount of water soluble vitamin c But then what's the point when you know at best case scenario, what's this meal? If we consider the spirulina and its bioavailability, let's say the vitamin a is getting absorbed Maybe she's getting a small carotenoid content for this meal But these other foods the spirulina You know, pretty much it's a nutrient void meal because of all the anti nutrients and just the actual base vitamin content of the food It's not there. It doesn't exist in this meal Hey guys, okay breakfast is done with in this video I'm going to share everything I eat as a pregnant vegan person And I also want to fill you guys in on a few things because I feel like it's been a massive few months You guys know we stopped traveling because I wasn't well and I want to update you on that My health how this pregnancy has been going Just how I'm feeling I feel like I wasn't ready to share the pregnancy for a while And there's so much I want to update you guys on and fill you guys in on so yeah That's what to expect in this video. I've got to go to this appointment now and Yeah, I'm going to show you everything I eat And who knows maybe I'll be nauseous later and won't be able to eat. We'll see every day is a new day All right, I'm going to drive by the way. I'm in my mom's car and Keys to the bands keys to the bands. I wish I had a Mercedes man. It's so nice I'm just like All right, bye Okay, I just got out of my appointment and So I know kinesiology has to do with the human movement system But I don't I can't really speculate on why she would need to see that doctor You know what you're seeing it for so it went for so long. It was super interesting So I am hungry. I actually drove past like a vegan place on the way here that I might stop and get a snack there And I've got some oranges. There's like three cut up oranges. I've just started eating So I'm going to eat these maybe stop at that cafe And then I think chris will have some lunch for me when I get home This is chris. Didn't she just have a big bowl of oats and she's now she's eating three oranges And then and she's talking about eating when she gets home All right, I just skipped like three minutes. She was just selling out audible for three minutes talking about audiobooks So I am still not home and oh my gosh, I feel like I've been out all day and I haven't eaten What do you mean you haven't eaten you had a big bowl of oats with food and All these plant milks and fat almond butter for breakfast and then you ate three oranges, but you haven't eaten I'm gonna tell you guys is that like it's super important for me not to get hungry right now because I start getting nauseous and then when I it's like I can't eat and it's the weirdest thing. It's just Pregnancy um And I'm starting to feel sick So I'm gonna really try to get home now. I just have to stop at the post office and eat So I think chris is gonna have some food ready for me bless him. Um Yes, I'm gonna go do that now It's worse at night for me right now. I haven't even hardly been eating dinners I've just been trying to eat really early So we're meant to have some friends come over tonight and we're going to have Thai because there's a Thai restaurant that does has a whole vegan menu um So I think that's gonna happen. So we'll see if I can eat it, but I need to get home asap to eat those Three oranges just like definitely one enough right now. Um All right, I'll see you when I get home. Okay I have gone two weeks without eating I've fasted for two weeks on a carnival diet and this girl can't go an hour or two without food Something I also want you guys to keep in mind is in the context of indigenous diets Not only did they prize animal foods. They only fed like pregnant and nursing women the highest quality animal foods They saved them the liver the Fish eggs the fish row any high quality animal food that they had access to They gave it to the pregnant and nursing woman. It wasn't just meat and fat. They gave the best parts So not only is just consuming animal protein and fat not adequate for a Pregnant diet. You literally need to consume those super high vitamin foods to be an optimal health Okay I'm home and I really hope I can eat because I feel That was so much like hours longer away than I thought I was going to be Hey daddy Hey Yeah, how'd you go? She's in the room. She's asleep. Well, I better go find her She's a dedicated father Mummy's here Oh my gosh. I miss you so much. Do you have food here? For me All right, so Chris didn't have the food ready. I nearly killed him But I just got a heap of boiled Chris didn't have food ready and I nearly killed him. Is that is that normal behavior potatoes lettuce tomato cucumber red onion a smashed avocado or through this Lime the juice of a whole lime a little bit of salt And then some coconut aminos in a salad and So, you know to me that's solid. Hey, you know, there's honestly nothing nothing wrong with eating something like this There might be some oxalates and some of the green vegetables, but overall I think it's a fairly low inflammatory to most people meal. It tastes pretty good It's a good source of energy But is it a good source of vitamins the only real thing in this meal that has vitamins might be the avocado Now what's interesting is the reason she had to add coconut aminos and salt to this is because on its own It wouldn't taste too good and for those of you who don't know what coconut aminos are It's this delicious like fermented tree sap. It's like sweet. It's salty. It has this umami flavor. It's almost like soy sauce It makes this meal palatable so to speak, but overall, you know, maybe she's getting carbohydrates. Maybe small amounts of Certain plant vitamins from the avocado, but the bioavailability of nutrition from this meal is fairly low Although, you know compared to her first meal. It's miles better I'm a little bit of salt and then some coconut aminos in a salad and oh my gosh I'm so hungry. It's ridiculous She's so hungry. It's ridiculous like Is this this behavior that we see in vegans. I'm so hungry. It's ridiculous this hangry behavior At what point do these like are people in their lives not telling them how they're behaving and how they're acting? I probably have food all over my face So the past month I've struggled so much with food having crazy food versions And the same thing happened when I was pregnant with a it's like I never know what I can eat. Um If I eat something it's like I'll never be able to eat it ever ever again because the thought of it makes me want to form it And it's just like it's pretty full and it's getting better But like I said night times have been the worst lately, which is sort of strange But definitely I'm about to eat and enjoy this salad, which is really nice But yeah, I'm gonna do that right now because I need to eat I was just So angry at christen. I thought I asked him to have food ready and I'd eat whatever they had for lunch just whenever I got home and He didn't think that But anyway, they had some potatoes cooked But when I walked in and he's like There's no food. You never wanted like you didn't tell me you wanted food. I was literally like I'm gonna kill you. That's what I So probably gonna have to apologize to him Maybe I'm the crazy person. But is this like How could someone behave like this is I mean, especially even saying things like that on camera. I mean, I don't know It's so good eating salads again For ages, I just couldn't even stand the thought of eating greens. It was like a couple of days, right? Couldn't stand the thought of eating greens Maybe your body's telling you that all these anti-nutrients and these vegetables these goitrogens these night trials These mineral and vitamin inhibiting compounds. Maybe your body doesn't want them anymore Especially during a pregnancy Rice crackers with avocado So she just said all she craved was rice crackers with avocado and that's really interesting because Rice crackers are a very energy dense source. That's not too harmful and anti-nutrients and avocado is probably The highest vitamin and healthiest food that most people consume on a vegan diet So it would make sense that maybe the two best sources of energy and nutrients in her diet were all she was craving I think for breakfast lunch and dinner I couldn't think of eating anything else At the moment. I'm just all I want to eat is fruit I'm loving salads and then at night time. I'm sort of struggling but Yes, it is definitely getting a lot better Um, but I'm just trying to eat as much nutrient dense food as I possibly can because for a while in there I just Wasn't really getting many nutrients in because I couldn't eat it like I felt so sick So I just went with that and now it feels nice to eat good food again I just thought whilst I finish up my lunch. I could talk to you guys a little bit About my pregnancy so far. I'm I asked on instagram what you guys want me to talk about And you had loads of questions and stuff. So I think I'll just talk about a few of the things you were interested in So I'm like 11 weeks pregnant now and it's been really different to when I felt pregnant with ayah just because When I felt pregnant with ayah, I wasn't expecting it And so I feel like I spent those first few months of pregnancy really like it took me a while To just accept that I was pregnant and that this was what was happening and to just sort of surrender to that Whereas this time it was definitely like a conscious conception and It all just felt right and Good and so yeah, that was different this time when I found out it was just a really Nice thing and it's like I already knew I don't know. It was just I didn't have to deal with that unexpected news or anything like that this time But um, it's been super emotional I feel like the past few months I've just gone on like the most intense emotional journey And I totally just think that that was intensified By this pregnancy. So if you've been following along for a while, you know that when we were in Indonesia We sort of decided to stop traveling because I hadn't been feeling well and we came back to Australia and we took a lot of time out and I started feeling so much better just nourishing myself Getting back into good routines and habits and I was juicing and just eating an abundance of amazing foods And I just started to feel so much better Especially in my physical body and the symptoms that I was having in um, bali just started going away But what happened is I started going through some really big emotional stuff So she said, you know, she wasn't doing so well in bali and then She got back to Australia started nourishing herself and what does she mean by nourishing her understanding of nourishing is eating these Vegan plant foods, which is very far from the truth. And unfortunately, we don't know too much about this Woman's medical history her past problems and complications But we don't know we also don't know what medications she might be taking so We can only speculate and say that obviously this girl has not been well for for periods of her life before this And that possibly could be exacerbated by her diet like The biggest emotional shifts that I've ever experienced in my life and It was a really sort of hard time It was good too. I learned a lot about myself and I feel like I've come out of it So much stronger and just more sure of myself for yeah, wow, so I went through a lot in early pregnancy And whilst I was feeling so much physically better and it felt right for me to concede like Chris and I just both knew It was the right time But yeah, it was a very emotional time and I feel like now I'm experiencing like the nausea at the nausea like I hate that word How do you say and just the fatigue of you know first trimester pregnancy, but I'm excited because I think a lot of it's passing and I really really enjoy being pregnant So Yeah, that's sort of where I'm at a few questions that you guys had. No, we won't find out the gender We just love the surprise. I know a lot of people cannot stand that and they're like tell me right now But no, I love the surprise. I feel in myself that It is a boy. I thought that before we even conceived that it was a boy that was sort of coming to us And what else can I tell you guys? Yes, the bus build everything's going to go ahead I'll probably spend most of my pregnancy adventuring I'm just a little confused before she conceived. She thought it was a boy. How can you think it's a boy if you Being with chris and a in the bus to me, that's just like the dream pregnancy I know that once again a lot of people probably wouldn't want to do that or whatever, but yeah I traveled my whole pregnancy with air as well and Just being in the bus cruising along the coastline with chris and air is like And being pregnant is an absolute dream come true for me. So yeah, the bus build is definitely going ahead and We're definitely planning on having a home birth where exactly I'm not sure yet we'll see how it all plans out where we'll be and where I Where chris and I decide we want to give birth and I'm excited about giving birth. I love the whole Journey I feel like the for me especially with air the first time I still was definitely the hardest in terms of just feeling super fatigued and having really strong food versions And when that passed it was just I really loved being pregnant. So I think that's gonna happen again. What else can I tell you guys? Yeah food wise I spoke about this just before just trying to eat as much nutrient dense food as my cravings will allow But that's your understanding of nutrient density Unfortunately, which goes with conventional wisdom that plant foods are nutrient dense, which is The opposite And I've had weird cravings for a while. I was just like craving junkie food I drove an hour to get a vegan burrito And I got there and I couldn't eat it And now I'm like, I don't think I could ever eat a burrito again. I was addicted to sushi I saw in my last video you saw I was making sushi Then I was like, all I want to do is eat sushi And then I made it last night yesterday was christmas birthday and so we made sushi for dinner I could not eat it at all and now I'm like, will I ever be able to eat sushi again? So the only thing I could speculate there is there's some maybe some vitamin or mineral in the I'm assuming vegan sushi because I don't know why you're calling it sushi, but There's some sort of vitamin or mineral in it that she's craving But then when she goes to eat the food It also has a lot of the foods that contain anti nutrients that her body doesn't want That's my speculation on why she would crave those foods and then not want to eat them So that's sort of what happens with me once I'm like all about a food And then I'm not about it at all and I genuinely Feel like I'll never be able to eat it again because it's that you know What happens when you crave a food on the carnivore diet? You go cook it You eat a few pounds of it and then you're happy. That's what happens. That's what happens to cravings on a normal diet Like oh Yeah, I'm eating basically I don't know. Maybe 95% organic So organic versus non-organic and this is a whole video topic in itself And yet generally organic stuff is higher quality But I mean, we're not talking about the context of animal foods here, but in the context of plant foods Yeah I mean the pesticides are less harmful, but they're still used the fertilizer is Maybe less harmful, but it's still used and it's definitely not vegan fertilizer hate to break it to you But the whole idea that you're eating organic and you're being healthier is That's not that's not what you should be saying You should understand that maybe the soil that the organic vegetables were growing on is more nutrient dense Maybe Just just there's positive aspects to it that you have to understand You can't just look at paper value, which is what vegans tend to do They look at the organic like if I went to the supermarket and I saw a beautifully marbled non-organic grass-fed steak and then I saw a lean Grass-fed steak that had white fat on it. I know which one I'm choosing. I'm not just going to go with the label I'm just really want to be eating organic food right now and It's definitely available around where we're living So I'm taking full advantage of that and it might be a much harder to do whilst we're in the bath I've got food everywhere, but I feel like you guys are used to that so But yeah, so This is it now guys. Welcome to the pregnancy adventure Let me know if you're pregnant too. I'd love love to hear if you're pregnant and watching this But yeah, first trimester is tough physically and emotionally for me and Chris has been incredible. He truly has been amazing and he's just So supportive and he's really excited about Pregnancy and a is also so excited cheese Seriously gonna be the most amazing big sister and I'm Loving just watching her on this journey becoming a sister and just already interacting with the baby in my belly and she's so maternal she's Telling me that she's got a baby in her She's got a baby in her belly and she's been carrying around her babies and looking after them and bathing them And talking about all the things that she's going to do with this baby and how she's going to share and just Yeah, it's a special time All right, I hear Chris are coming up now Definitely Chris an apology. All right. Talk soon All right. I'm just having one of these vegan treat things that Chris got Looks like coconut and date and I don't know what else But they're delicious Coconut and date I mean pretty much empty calories although, you know, it's nice to see saturated fat in a vegan diet Unfortunately, neither dates nor coconut oil has a considerable vitamin content Hi guys, sorry, I Feel so much better now. It's like really tired from getting home And that's definitely something I'm experiencing like if I head out and do stuff even if it's just like a couple of errands it like I feel really exhausted off that I need to chill How is that? How would someone a human who's You know, obviously pregnant woman in nature would have been in survival situations in very high stress situations And they would have probably been active the whole day When even when carrying their child. So how can someone go on a couple errands for an hour or two and be exhausted? So I'm just having a snack now Oh I'm having peanut butter dates on celery sticks Okay, so she's eating celery with peanut butter and medjool dates In regards to peanut butter It can be very inflammatory in regards to high omega 6. I mean, it's a legume. It has various anti nutrients people might say it's it's It's funny that people view peanut butter as a health food when in most cases. It's quite the opposite What are they talking about aflatoxins here? And mold it's look if you just look at how it's made how peanut butter is grown There's much better options and and the dates and the celery I mean, we know that sugar and celery is pretty much just fiber And just you know, how how many how what is this woman ate so far today? She's just complaining. She's hungry every hour or two and I'm just heading out to visit Chris because he's Doing some work on the boss. Oh god fish There he is I think I said that it was his birthday yesterday. You guys should leave him some You can't see me. You guys should leave him some birthday love because Whoo, happy birthday Chris He's awesome and because he Is the reason that all of these videos even exist because he edits them all so Leave chris some love How'd you go cleaning it? You're gonna these birds are so friendly. I know they're the ones that like nearly landed on my head last night The animals around here know we're vegan Just like those new york city pigeons that stand next to people eating hot dogs waiting for the crumbs to fall down They're like they're just not scared of us Oh, I haven't even told you we're nearly leaving here where you have to like clean this place up And then we're leaving. I think we're going to go to my parents and just like full on get this bus going Remember when we said we were gonna be in it like in five weeks I'd say like four weeks ago. That was so cute of us Anyway, our friends are gonna come around so they're coming soon and we're going to have tie for dinner I think and also make caramel slice So I'll show you what we end up eating And yeah, this is what I eat most pregnant. This bird's just like getting closer to chris Oh daddy's on the roof You okay up there? There you go. We're gonna go inside and make some herbal tea. I'm drinking so much tea mainly Nettle a ginger one and then I'll show you this other blend that my mum brought. It's delicious All right, I went with this one. It's an after-dinner one You know my problem is like vegans don't care where their food's from as long as it's just vegan to paper value You don't know, you know where that tea is from how it was made who made it It's so good. It's sweet fennel roasted chicory and cardamom and then we're going to get three ginger as well All right, I'll put up on the screen. What is in the caramel layer? But this is Natalie's recipe who's currently holding the camera All right caramel layer all right, so sugar arsenic and sugar anti-nutrients and inflammatory omega-6 fats and then saturated fat the coconut oil being the only food that might not be inflammatory in that dish and if we look at Organic brown rice syrup is pretty much a replacement for high fructose corn syrup now and they said there was an arsenic concern of it So I didn't actually didn't know about that until I looked into it. Definitely something worth mentioning I mean tahini Just seeds in general to especially sesame seeds that are in tahini, you know, they're roasted They're high and you know, it's not like they're soaking them in salted water and Rinsing them and reducing the phytic acid content very high in phytic acid Tahini is very high in omega-6 inflammatory fats and there's no Considerable vitamin content in any of these foods. This is just sugar inflammatory omega-6 fats and then just the beneficial saturated fats from the coconut oil Now if you remove the tahini and the rice malt syrup and just have the dates and the coconut oil It might be it would be much less inflammatory, but still devoid of nutrients But this is natalie's recipe who's currently holding the camera All right, caramalaya This is what is in it Okay, the guys just got back with Thai dinner and the slice is in the freezer And we're gonna start with this and I'm so bloody happy about it So we got our red Thai curry. What's this one called guys? Patsy you So it's like a thick noodle and then I don't know what they sort of scare me their sweet potato rolls And then another curry. That's the tom yum soup and then that's a ginger stir fry Yeah And it's all Vegan Okay, so Doesn't know what it is, but as long as it's vegan She's gonna eat it. I may have tried to cut it before it was perfectly set But do you know what? This sort of looks so goddamn good. It does look at that Okay, yeah, all right. That's the caramel sauce And definitely needs to be furthermore, but it's so delicious You want to hop out? Okay. Did you want to say goodbye? Thanks for watching Thank you guys for watching and we will see you Next week All right guys, that's pretty much the video And we can only really speculate on the Thai food unfortunately So let's just look at like a vegan Thai recipe I was just gonna assume the Thai food was you know, it probably does contain You know inflammatory fats particularly vesture and vegetable oils refined oxidized vegetable oils as well as refined flowers and things and then just adding the those fermented foods that have a high histamine content that can be problems for people But no real nutrient density in that Thai food and Unfortunately the only real nutrient dense food she consumed all day was the avocado mashed up in that salad and avocado You know no vitamin a but vitamin c vitamin e vitamin k I mean if you ate five or six avocados on a vegan diet Then you know, if you took the vegan supplements that I talked about the red, noic acid the Vitamin k2 the vitamin d3 the dha you might actually have a decent fat soluble vitamin intake But you literally have to eat five avocados. So I mean, unfortunately, she's not eating five avocados and taking swigs out of an algae oil bottle So, you know, we can only just speculate that she's maybe getting I don't know five ten percent of the necessary fat soluble vitamins to have a healthy pregnancy Uh, what what else can we touch on overall just her diet is low in vitamins. It's very inflammatory And just high calorie low nutrient dense foods I mean if you guys I don't really think I need to you know, you can google all these foods and anti nutrients in them and their nutrient content and The hard thing for people to understand is that people don't know what makes a diet healthy They don't know that fat soluble vitamin content is important and the difference in bioavailability between animal and plant foods So if people don't know what a healthy diet is, how can they argue that a vegan diet is, you know, how they're supposed to know So I can't really blame them If you guys would like to support me just check out, you know, check out the stuff in the comments My social media various things like that Let me know how you like this video and above all means guys if you do Feel the need to share this or show it to people just tell them You know, hey, it's important to get certain nutrients from animal foods. That's the main premise I don't want you guys saying. Oh, she's gonna, you know, I don't want any negativity from this video If that's gonna happen, I'm I might have to stop doing these videos and I know you guys like these So let's just do the the makeup check for you idiots See nothing on my shirt guys. Don't wear makeup Like I I'm losing we're gonna Frankie the face is gonna have to make another appearance. It just so it seems
