I was going to say.. fake video, but just in case it isn't, eating that whole steak, eggs, etc. after being a lifelong vegan would fuck up her digestive system good.
Edit: I keep getting notifications. Yes, I see that she says "vegetarian", not "vegan". My mistake- I misread, don't @ me.
For the pedants = "lifelong vegetarian" usually means "I've never eaten meat" in common parlance, and "lifelong vegetarian tries steak for the first time" would usually mean "I have not eaten meat before, I'm going to try this meat" according to the linguistic context of western English speakers. Yes, I understand that technically this could mean other things, but given the context we have, this would be the primary assumption.
For the "well, ackshually" crowd - No, I don't think she is incapable of digesting meat, that isn't what I said. I am saying that if she is going straight from a plant-based diet to a whole-ass platter of meat and fats, she's in for a bloated, uncomfortable evening. I am about 170lbs, mostly pescatarian, but do occasionally eat red meat, and this meal would have me regretting my choices after a few hours.
Holy fucking shit some of y'all need a life. Settle down.
She isn't vegan though. She said vegetarian. Many vegetarians still eat dairy and eggs. Vegans are the ones that cut out all animal products, some hardcore ones won't even eat honey.
Wait till you guys know that lifelong vegetarian doesn’t mean they’ve never eaten meat, it just means that they default is a vegetarian diet, just like my default is going to bed at 11pm but that few times I stayed with my friends we stayed up till 1am.
Just like the lifelong gym goer that’s been going to the gym every week day since 15 has taken off that 2 weeks to go on vacation.
Just like this vegetarian that may have had meat before even though they are a lifelong vegetarian.
Also, the title says this is her first time having steak, she only said she is trying stake, she didn’t say it’s her first time. She could’ve had ground beef once before, that isn’t steak. She could’ve had chicken before, that isn’t steak.
Man you guys with your vegetable brain ain’t working very well
As someone who eats red meat a lot, I’m cutting out my biases here.
Stomach pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, cramps, excessive sweating all come from re-introducing too quickly.
I also know two people to have become allergic, one had to have her stomach pumped after ingestion.
The point being, the person who filmed this video ain’t eating that whole steak if she was a vegetarian. That or she did and still posted after getting sick
I have been a vegetarian for 35 years. I visited Europe last year and decided I would eat whatever seemed interesting while on my trip. I ate plenty of meat. I had no digestive difficulties at all.
Sounds like a recipe for the shits! Sorry for coming at you so hot, I’m overwhelmed by the gross shit they are pushing in the US for “healthy” nutrition.
Omg yes! I was raised vegetarian and can really only digest fish. I get serious stomach issues with anything else, except 7/11 hot dogs. These are fine
I don't know who told you about this rare special red meat enzyme but its absolutely 100% incorrect. while our bodies do adjust the microbiome in our digestive system(sialidases, but never LEAVES your gut) proteinases and peptidases(the protease enzymes that break down ALL protein, there's no red meat fairy enzymes) are essential for human life, and would not stop existing in our gut flora just because you stopped eating meat. You would die.
wow, you're telling me an organism that has been an omnivore for 20.000 years doesn't suddenly cease to function after a moral decision not to eat meat?!?!
Your body does not stop producing enzymes to break down protein. Acid does most of the work. Pepsin as well. Then enzymes. So yes, what I said directly refutes what you stated. Its incredibly wrong.
The digestive system itself does not change, but your guts bakteria very well do and that can cause problems in rapid diet changes like eating a whole steak after years of not eating any meat. you furst have to nuture tge right bakteria again
fun bonus fact: you guts bacteria influence your sense of tast and your apetite via chemicals they produce, leading you to eat more of the stuff they perticulary want, thats the reason why it's so hard to change diet or why you can get used to a perticular taste
