Skinny Weak Vegan? How I gained weight

- In the picture on the left I weighed 115 lbs. In the picture on the right I weigh 155 lbs. After 3.5 years of eating a raw vegan fruit based diet, and hundreds of days only drinking Juice, I healed many of my health issues, but I still couldn't gain weight. Everyone told me I needed to eat more, not aware that I was already eating 2000-4000 calories per day. Many other people told me I was skinny and weak because I wasn't eating meat, unaware of the fact that I ate a heavy meat, egg, cheese, and milk diet for 32 years of my life and even ate a carnivore, and RAW carnivore diet for 6 months before even going raw vegan. I had tried everything.
You can gain plenty of weight and muscle eating only raw vegan food (and only fruit) and the people who say you can't have obviously just never done the research to see the people who have because there are thousands among thousands of amazingly strong, ripped, buff and healthy LONG TERM raw vegans who are some of the healthiest people I know with zero health issues (and even more buff looking cooked food Vegans) So its is very obvious that it has nothing to do with the lack of meat in my diet.
This is how I gained weight still eating a fruit based diet after not being able to make any gains for several years of eating only 100% raw living foods.

Great content as always. 🎉 thanks Jeff!
Wow! Excellent progress!
You’re awesome Jeff! I love how you talk about the real deal that many don’t want to hear. (Fasting). It’s refreshing truth. And I love hearing about mucoid plaque!
This is such good information bro. Thank you for being so transparent man. I needed this because I started my juicing journey two weeks ago. So I’m looking to getting into a juice cleanse. So thank you man.🙏🔥 and please keep the content coming.
Thanks for this great video. I'm having trouble gaining weight. It's been a long, difficult healing journey for me too, but wow, the energy, happiness, and removal of pain and other symptoms, has made it all worthwhile, and I plan to keep going until I also can do long fasts without symptoms (and can gain weight easily.)
Thank you for letting everyone see your heartbeat. 💛🙏 Your story is so powerful- thank you for continually, passionately, trying to share the life saving knowledge that you’ve personally gained in this process… 💛🙏 You’re making a difference in the world- keep it up 💛🤙
Thank you for sharing. Very encouraging information
happy to hear that. thanks
Wow, beautifully explained!!
thank you glad you enjoyed
excellent info, the key info in this video is "one day at a time" 🥰🙏
Well said Jeff, its not a deficiency issue its an absorption issue. Without deep healing, juicing, fasting the detox/deprogramming cannot occur, thus why most fail.
Hey Jeff!
Nice to see your post more videos! Your journey is so inspiring! I fit in the same category too... It's nice to emphasize the long journey some of us might encounter on that journey.
When you mention the juice fast, did you use the mix bentonite/psillium?
So you got weight, after your water fast, while staying low fat? Less than 10%??
When you organize your next water fast and plan to do a retreat, I would like to be part of. How could I reach you?
Don't give a shit about people say. You are inspiring and commited.
Can you share some of the people that are ripped with lots of weight and muscle that love on fruit / juices - if they have online profiles or videos
Thanks
Hi, I'm wandering why deny the microbiome the fruit fibre when a healthy microbiome is supposed to be key to a healthy system. Is it to take out the bulk so you consume more? Would it not make sense to add at least some of the juice pulp back in?
When you do a juice fast your hunger mechanism is completely turned off, whereas if you do smoothies, it's not. Removing the fiber allows your digestive tract to take a break and go into reccovery mode while absorbing nutrients passively. Doing extended fasts reset your microbiome in a healthy way, which is a big part of the magic that gives you pristine digestion when you're done.
Hi bro. Appreciate you. I eat mostly like Loren and you. Still a lot of healijg to do. Contemplating water fasting with Loren. Love your videos there with him and your interview with Gillian. Love and blessings pal!❤
One question: whats your iridology and constitution like brother? Sounds similar to me, medium or so. Maybe a little less. Im also underweight and malabsorbed and severe health issues before.
I am also 116 pounds-5.6 and with gut issues due to wrong food and allergy. I will try 3 days water fasts and see how it goes... I feel better when I do 24 hours water fasts
Hey Jeff, love your channel and your message. Just curious, I just watched your video with Gillian Berry and you seem to be even a bit heavier than you are in this video. Have you intentionally gained more weight recently?
Your story seems similar to that of Thierry Casasnovas, a french guy who makes youtube videos about fasting, juice fasting and all that lifestyle. He’s kinda known in France now and has about 600k subs.
He started making videos about 12 years ago, and some of his first videos are him very skinny in Thailand eating tons of fruit calories and not gaining weight, but then he got into a lot of fasting, juice fasting, etc and it healed his digestive tract so that he was able to better absorb his food and get back to a normal weight, and for a good number of years now he’s been promoting fasting and juicing. One small difference I think though, he doesn’t necessarily promote a vegan diet, although he does recommend a high fruits and veggies raw diet. He advocates more for intuitive eating, so that doesn’t necessarily exclude all animal products, as long as it’s raw.
I’m also on the skinny with weak (pretty bad) digestion side of things. (1.75m ~56 kg, with no capacity to gain weight on any kind of diet).
As opposed to a lot of people who go into juicing because they want to lose weight, I’m actually recently getting into juicing in order to, further down the line, hopefully gain weight. My normal weight when I was younger and still healthy was around 65kg. So I appreciate all the info I can get about juicing, especially from the point of view of people that recovered from being underweight with weak digestion. 👍
Do you personally know anyone how has healed respiratory issues with this diet?
Hi bro I am suffering with sibo... Do you have a video on that. It's been 3 years. Doctors reject I have sibo with constipation.
I had sibo for years like that, too. What healed it for me was cutting out all fats for a few months and ate mostly fruits, some greens. The issue fully disappeared 4 weeks in.
@@thejourneytoeden7486 thanks
How u feel about supplements? Wish I could fast the way u do
And how u feel about water fasting even if you don’t follow raw vegan diet anymore?
unnecessary processed crap that is harmful and you don't need if you're willing to detox yourself and eat a well balanced raw diet :)
@@BlazeBoxing People water fast no matter what diet they're on - SAD, carnivore, anything. But if you're unhealthy and have been on pharmaceuticals a lot over the years you'd want to go slow. You could clean up your diet first, then do smoothies, then juices, then water. Or you could go straight to water but start with 24 hrs, then a couple weeks later go for 48, etc. Also personally, I love supplements and they have made my detoxes so much more comfortable. For example, I had arrhythmia for an entire juice fast once and now I know to just use vitamin/mineral patches. Also, the first time I went high carb raw vegan, my adrenals were toast so I couldn't control my blood sugar and the diet was really hard on my body. I took adrenal glandulars and was able to adapt to the diet in days instead of months. Then my healing was complete in months instead of years.
I'm new too long fasting ... just bought the nama j2 and healing diabetes, eye issues , nueropsthy. Do you think a mono fruit juice cleanse(watermelon) would be good like 4(33) ounce jars. Also i'm 122 lbs at 5'7" , but I know i'm not healed and want to fully heal. I also work night shift which my job is alot of walking and lifting.
Watermelon would be perfect for yoru vision problems. I would add B-vitamin patches to help the neuropathy. I also found that green juices gave me blood sugar problems so i had to stick with fruit only for the last half of my juice fast, so I do think watermelon would work great for you. My only concern is, are you allowed to take as many pee breaks as you need to? Maybe since you're on nights the answer is yes.
👌🏾
@VeganDeterioration needs to see this. Definitely proves her channel wrong
I think she got booted. Ive been on her channel several times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What proves her channel wrong? I just see a skinny man with an eating disorder...
@@jeffjuices lol damn I haven’t seen your episodes. Glad u proved her wrong. I learned a lot from u
It is not only bicep muscle that gets eaten by the body when fasting but the biggest muscle: the heart. Be careful telling someone who’s underweight to fast. They may be anorexic without knowing, keep losing weight still believing they have body fat left to survive on and die of starvation. Electrolytes can get out of balance from lack of sodium or potassium leading to server heart, bone and brain problems risking death.
Agree with this more than I do a dr, just be safe. It can be better for one who’s underweight to drink the over 3000 to even 6000 cals or more from juice or fruit needed in access as the body catches up and restores before further depleting with a water fast. I personally needed above 6000 calories in hospital bed rest to gain as a hard gainer including an ng tube.
Do you think this was the body needing that much to restore from under eating and repair tissue or just not absorbing it and a gentler approach would have been the break then possibly less to gain? Wouldn’t the initial gain of solid food just be water weight from consuming carboHYDRATES again anyway? Let me know your thoughts and thank you for speaking truth.
Why would the body be dumb enough to consume vital heart muscle when there is plenty of skeletal muscle left?

I gained weight or stay the same when I eat just fruits. Never lost weight
I can't gain weight either I'm like 115 lbs also just not that tall
What about dry fasting?
absolutely not. I do not recommend dry fasting of any kind. this is the opposite of detoxification, and only further dehydrates an already dehydrated body. if you have mucoid plaque, this would make the plaque even more dehydrated and further from getting eliminated. the reason this works so well, is because you are drinking loads of water, the right amount, and it rehydrates the old material enough so the body can properly eliminate it.
without enough water in the body the body cannot build enough blood and the bodies eliminative channels do not work properly, thus why so many long term raw vegans have diet dry fasting
@@LeneMay I believe he means it’s not good if you have plaque build up that needs rehydration
@@ernestbrooks3569 Well that makes sense, if it’s severe. I believe most of us do have *some* mucoid plaque, but still, dry fasting has worked wonders for me. It’s definitely all about listening to oneself - the body will tell you what it likes vs doesn’t like 😊
@@LeneMay yeah I felt it worked for me as well. Back and forth from dry fast to juice and back again.
Dry fasting is a bad idea in any case!
All dry fasting does is suppress symptoms because the water required to keep certain healing processes go is missing.
Lines up with the Bible. Me and my wife are talking about do this for our health
Bruv.
Mate you are just talking shit give some scientfic evidence
I’m sorry I hope you feel great and I believe you when you say it, but you don’t look healthy at all? Are you sure the diet is working?.
I am a vegetarian and have been considering going vegan and raw but the side effects scare me.
