A day in the life! Makeup, vegan recipes, errands around London. Hope you enjoy this weeks video!

In this video, I spill my heart out about the huge dilemma I faced having gone vegan as a cat owner.

Sorry the picture is out of focus until about halfway through. No idea what happened? I didn't change anything? :/


*** Bio ***

I'm Paul Kerton. Personal Trainer, Vegan Nutritionist and Public Speaker. Not so long ago, in a misguided attempt to try and grow muscle as quickly as possible, I ended up eating more animal products than probably anyone you've ever met. Through research, I came to learn the deleterious effects that eating even quite trivial amounts of animal products has on one's health and through personal experience, I found that far from being a hindrance to sports performance, a well planned vegan diet is actually optimal! Then with an open heart, I looked at how we treat animals in order for them to end up on our plates and it shook me to the core. I could not believe that for so long I fell for the lies that others tell us, that we tell ourselves, in order that we perpetuate this destructive behaviour. Destructive to ourselves, the beautiful, intelligent sentient beings that are here with us and indeed our planet. To try and put right my part in all of this I was compelled to overcome my fear of being filmed for YouTube and television, appearing on the radio and more recently public speaking. On a spiritual level, I've come to realise that my fellow man too is suffering. If I won't see harm come to a chicken I've never met then why would I be unkind to my brothers? If someone is being aggressive or unkind toward me, surely the suffering inflicted on them in the past is simply spilling over? Do I want to add to that, or can I step out of my ego long enough to forgive them and maybe break the cycle of negativity? This former, quick to anger "meat-head" bouncer has been on one transformative journey!

In the past few months we have seen a small but controversial number of youtubers who once promoted a vegan diet go back to eating animal products for health reasons.

This has sparked conversation online about many important things, and that’s why I personally think that all of these “Why I’m No Longer Vegan” videos are actually a really good thing.

In this video, I go over the experiences of 23 Youtube influencers who are no longer vegan, compare them, point out the trends, and look at a few "What I Eat In A Day" videos from some of the most influential ones to see how calorically + nutritionally adequate they were.

What I found probably isn't a surprise to many people but I think that we can all benefit from learning how to take better care of our health rather than following 24 year old girls online who don't know anything about nutrition.

Dr Michael Greger - How Not To Die

Michael Herschel Greger (born 1972) is an American physician, author, and professional speaker on public health issues, particularly the benefits of a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet and the harms of eating animal products.

In his lectures, videos, and writings about nutrition he tries to persuade people to change their eating habits from a Western pattern diet to a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet—optimally to vegan diet—and says that such a diet can prevent and reverse many chronic diseases. He is critical of other doctors for not challenging their patients to adopt plant-based diets and to avoid animal-based products and criticises the US government for giving watered-down advice about healthy eating in its guidelines, in order to protect the economic interests of food producers—especially those who make junk food or produce animal-based food.

Vegan traveler Shae highlights the vegan food she discovered around the island of Phuket, Thailand.

There have been some headlines in the news recently discussing the potential pitfalls of a strictly vegetarian diet. Being someone who usually avoids meat myself, I think it’s important to clear up any misconceptions. Becoming a vegetarian is a major lifestyle decision. Anyone considering it should be aware of what they’re getting into.

I was on the look out for a suit, something that was cruelty free and cool.....did this exist??? Of course it did!!! I popped on down to Jeff Banks on Saville Row to see if they could help me out!

For this sustainable vegan sushi, we swapped out tuna for tomato that gets a savory seafood flavor from seaweed, tamari and other umami-rich ingredients. The tomato "tuna" tops sushi rice and is finished with a dollop of spicy vegan mayo for nigiri that will delight any sushi lover.

Being made with vegan wool means being of high-tech, eco-friendly, cruelty-free construction—a model set to take over the fashion industry. Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart of VAUTE introduces PETA to her chic wool-free coats and chunky knit sweaters, which encourage positive change by taking animals out of the fashion equation and allow us to look and feel that much better getting dressed in the morning.

This is day 1 of an exercise in which I set myself the task of cooking 6 different meals on a total budget of £4
As usual, there will be rules and permissions - this time though, no animal products, and ambient (shelf-stable) purchased products only.
This video contains the shopping, some foraging and Day 1 of the menu. Teleportation is permitted.

It's important to note: this is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor'* (although it did make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted), NEITHER is it an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits could get by with less' (in fact if anything, it proves the opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge').
Primarily, this is an exercise that I set myself specifically to try to provoke a creative response; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability.

*nor in this case, make any kind of statement about vegan diets.
