I will be adding a new video to the FacelessFatloss channel soon covering both my distilled water experiment as well as the dietary fat experiment.
In the meantime, I wanted to chime in on some youtube creator fodder in the vegan world of late.
Although I am not vegan, I utilize a vegan-style diet in a detox/cycling manner, and have for years. Usually implementation of it is based on either how I feel, and the time of year so that I can best take advantage of produce that is available.
So I follow a good bunch of vegan channels in an effort to keep up with their community, and see what the latest/greatest finding are in this area, and because I support their ethics on the whole.
Kasey Stern is a mid-thirties youtuber who can be found via a search for “Vegetable Police” on youtube. I have been following him for quite some time, his subscribers enjoying both his unique sense of humor as well as his honesty in his dietary journey. On the latter point, much like me, he has dealt with chronic illness, doctors being of absolutely no help to him, and he used diet to help bring himself back to a state of health. A concept, by the way, that doctors insisted was not possible.
He was a vegan, a strict one but with some minor cheating here and there, for ten years.
He then decided to go carnivore in the past month, in an effort to resolve the persistent gut issues that he has never been able to completely eliminate.
He had substantial success doing this. He resorted to cow meat to do this, but has not elaborated much on exactly what he’s doing. It is possible he is even exploring raw meat in this process.
I’ll admit I was disappointed in this new direction, even as a non-vegan. I personally still do not eat cow meat, and haven’t for almost 30 years, but do consume dairy…which Kasey knows for certain he has a sensitivity to.
I am not making any judgements regarding his new direction. Although disappointed, it’s mainly due to the vegan community being a unique one, an unfortunately maligned one as well, but for what I feel are often the wrong reasons. So any time the community loses one of their own, it has a ripple effect across the board.
I thought perhaps some folks would be interested in hearing about his experiments and experiences. He has not settled on a carnivorous diet as an end-all solution. And I think most people understand that a vegan diet, especially under many conditions of illness, has tremendous potential to help restore health, as has been demonstrated repeatedly both anecdotally with online bloggers/vloggers, but also in institutional research and studies.
Check him out if ya get the chance, especially if you have any gut-related issues that are chronic and painful. What works for him may not work for you! But you can benefit from his experience just by learning from his experience.
