A Plant-based Diet Changed My Life | Pat McAuley | TEDxBabsonCollege

Amazing talk - thank you!!

Bros voice acting cured my cancer

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us!
As a Vegan/Plant Based Nutritional Health Coach (focusing on lifestyle transition), I see so many people whose health could benefit from leaning toward a plant-based diet but they just don't have the guidance.. It's really difficult to overcome health obstacles and flip your culinary lifestyle upside down, so definitely stand proud of your accomplishments!
I hope a lot of people will learn from your words of wisdom. ❤❤❤

The idea came from God.

We’re all different. What works for you won’t work for me.

Best talk. As he said most of us are very kind. How can we stop beating heart to support our life. 😢😢😢

Carnivore here. Good luck ! 🥩🥩

Iam not vegan, I eat whole plant based tho

I wonder about the voice tonality on plant based, I have nice deep voice now, wonder if it changes?

Is it me or TED talks have become really repetitive and boring?

Guys help me stop eating meat

how to get vitamin B12 ? could you please give me some information

what a joke this ted talk is hahaha "im stronger".... dude looks SO WEAK

Dr. John MacDougall is another research-based physician that is worth reading about. His website offers a lot of free, starch-based diet content. His book The Starch Solution is informative and just makes sense!

The word vegan pisses people off and causes push back. We are living in a crazy world.

I'm a new vegan!! 1 month!! This was a very moving talk . He was trying very hard not to cry. Very sobering words. ❤

A deep, resonant voice reflects a strong, healthy man.

Protein isnt that important, but enough to change into glucose via gluconeogenesis is. Carbohydrates are literally unnecessary; infact, you need to mobilize hormones every. Single. Time. You eat dietary sugar; having a blood sugar is like having a blood alcohol without fun. Don't get me started on wheat 😮

💯💯💯

Absolutely heart warming, you woke up just as I did and it’s awesome that you are sharing your experience in such a beautiful way.

This helps reinforce my plant focused or based eating I too will experiment with fruits vegetables oats nuts and essential oils to get a sense of clarity … I really appreciate the honesty Ted talks xx

I was doing raw vegan but felt bad added some cooked potatoes and salt and veges and feel so good. I had chicken after a 2 week juice fast and then got so sick and constipated I thought I was gonna die cuz I was passing out on my bathroom floor from pain. Juice fast helps so much going into this way of eating it’s really underrated

Recent vegetarian. Doing this for the animals who deserve better from us.

I want to be vegan so bad

Check out the book world peace diet if you want to go further with this line of thought! A whole book to explain exactly what he’s saying. What goes into our body, goes into our minds. Really beautiful and powerful but also informative. So many of us look at religion and see horror , seeking a spiritual nourishment we can’t seem to find. But this man explains the way to compassion in his own words. Peace begins on your plate

I was VEGAN for 2 years. I started getting health problems not regular in my menstrual due to impaired ovulation and low progesterone. I also was always upset all the time and pissed off. LOL I was not fun to be around with. I stopped my VEGAN DIET because I hated wasted money on taking 12 capsules a day just to supply my zinc and Vit B12. Now, I am the healthiest as can be primarily my menstrual is regular and I just feel ALIVE now. I DID ALSO HATED ALL THAT VEGAN FAD SNACKS AND JUNK FOOD. NOPE I AM DONE WITH THAT. VEGANS EAT WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR AND WHEAT. WORSE THINGS THAT ARE HIGHLY INFLAMMATORY.

i thank you for this... i redistributed this link to others... 22 years vegetarian, of which 2 years vegan. <3

Why don't you start talking about what your girlfriend was saying to you, why she suddenly cried on your shoulder and why you turned into such a weakling.

I'll be glad when all those doctors get cancer.

Watch the cancer on the internet ans see it attack cancer. You won't see it attack a lump of meat.

Guess what, he thinks he's a carcinogen. Well done my friend.

He's got a strange idea of genetics. He wants to be a flower?

No it's not preventable by veganism, it's preventable by a perfectly normal meat and fish diet. THERE'S NO SUGAR IN IT. If you eat a normal decent diet without all the junk.

Heart disease is mainly caused by type 2 diabetes, they go hand in hand and are caused by sugar: REMEMBER THAT STUFF? SUGAR, not meat or fish.

I learned that cancer feeds on sugar and all carbohydrates are sugar based. All vegans eat that stuff but they're being fooled into it. Brainwashed as usual by their women.

I don’t have frequent or strong heart cramping or chronic GERD issues since I went vegan over eight and a half years ago.

The pauses he takes are insufferable. Cool subject though

Thankyou

FANTASTIC!

Any advice for me I'm going to start my journey on this plant based Life changing how to start thanks 🙏

Very much moved by what he's saying. What I would like to see is some practical advice on how to eat vegetarian with a chaotic lifestyle. Let me know if there's any links to things like this

bro discovered empathy for the first time in his life at 25 years old lmao

Talks like this just drive me to eat more meat. Excuse me while I go cook my mussels.

Vegan for 1 year now. Surpassed all athletic goals, 0 animal body count. Cheaper, better for environment, better for animals, healthier.

It's very true 👍. I am diabetes and all arthritis. Hope to change my lifestyle 🙏. God help me.

Vegan for the past 11 years and forever.
Clear conscience. Great health. Zero menopause symptoms. Great energy.

He looks frail and white to me. I used to be vegan it didn't work for me. I do the Zone and Paleo now and I'm stronger healthier and more athletic.

I find it pathetic that TEDx has to include a disclaimer. Perhaps it's because he's not an MD or other scientist. But, this is not some weird approach. The 50+ years of research by Dr T Colin Campbell from Cornell, the 40+ years of research by Dr Caldwell Esselstyn from the Cleveland Clinic, the thousands of case studies in reversing autoimmune diseases done by Dr. Brooke Goldner (which is what this fellow experienced) and on and on. All serious scientists. The data is irrefutable. So is the climate data regarding environmental impact of the meat & dairy industry. It's a bummer, but the data is what it is.

I have been doing it a week, wow. I’m super mellow and more loving, so weird.
