After the NIC Bello Experiment/Experiment for Le Iene – “Vegan for 100 days, here’s what happened to me” – several discordant opinions have followed on the opportunity of a food style that completely eliminates the meat
“You are about to face a diet that goes against your nature, start seeing the greenish grayish face, the hair falls, nails that flakes up, you get off more easily. In the woman it skips the cycle and in men there is a lack of testosterone, fertility (…) if we all become vegan we could also extinguish us“.
Diet vegantherefore, not wars and famines: vegan diet put to the pole from Susanna BramantePHD agronoma, diet and nutrition adviser and scientific popularizer which, first called into question by NIC NICE For his service/experiment for the Hyenas “Vegan for 100 days, here’s what happened to me“And then on social media, it gives its version of what it involves any food choice that completely eliminates the meat.
But let’s go in order: Nic Bello tried the vegan diet for a hundred days, preparing a real daily diary in which he told how his body and lifestyle changed: from the gym to shopping.
Nic Bello’s experiment
Nic beautiful starts from listening to two “bells”: on the one hand the Bramante, according to which red meat would help fight cancer and have greater adjuvant action in anticancer therapies; on the other Gilda Guidi, vegan nutritionist, who is clear immediately:
The meat must be absolutely limited, even in the cold cuts the preservatives used can have carcinogenic effects.
On the other hand, we know well that for the WHO the worked red meat, such as sausages, sausages, hamburgers, is classified as “Coldinggenic of Grado 1“.
We talk about it here: carcinogenic meat, everything you need to know: 20 questions and answers from WHO
From the blood tests to the urologist, before starting the veg nic diet Bello makes a series of specific exams (yes, also to test fertility and erectile function). Then he starts with the new food style but immediately the first hitches: Obviously chosen the wrong method – Based only on bars and salads – Nic Bello Lamenta after 15 days deficiency of iron and weakness.
This is where the doctor comes into play Silvia Goggispecialist in food science, co-founder of the Planter app and author of numerous vegetable-based food books, which immediately explains what Nic was wrong:
Vitamin B12 – he says – is actually absent in a vegetable diet, therefore it must be integrated. But those who follow a vegan diet – continues to explain Silvia Goggi – has 15% more likely to develop a tumor in the course of life. Improve blood sugar, cholesterol is lowered, ischemic cardiovascular events are prevented.
After the experience of the delicious recipes of the girls of Supensic food and – following various emptiness in classic gyms – after meeting with Spinch, a vegan personal trainer who marries the vegan diet 100% and the benefits of legumes and fibers, Nic Bello also meets Giulia Innocenzito fully understand what it means for a human being when he begins to no longer see animals as food.
As NIC is beautiful at the end of the 100 days
At the end of the 100 days of veg diet, Nic Bello undergoes the same blood and urine analyzes and it shows:
Disinformation risk
The intervention in the service and then on the social networks of agronoma Susanna Bramante has several points that – as they point out by Food for Profit – could be considered disinformationespecially if analyzed by a scientific perspective regarding the benefits of the vegan diet both for health and the environment.

The vegan diet, if well balanced, is recognized for its numerous long -term benefits, including the reduction of the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. In addition, a meat -free diet is also rich in fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients that promote good intestinal health and a reduction in inflammation. Deny These benefits in favor of the meat does not take into account a wide range of scientific research.
Also, if the service of The hyenas He showed negative effects on Nic beautiful due to an unbalanced vegan diet (but only in the first 15 days), it is not right to use this as an example to demonize the entire vegan paradigm. In reality, many people follow a vegan diet and reach optimal health levels, provided that they pay attention to the planning of nutrients (such as vitamin B12, iron, proteins, omega-3). The problem usually resides in improvisation and absence of specific food education.
And not only that: one of the reasons why many people choose a vegan diet is environmental sustainability. Meat production is one of the main causes of deforestation, water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The scientific evidence is clear: reducing meat consumption is crucial to combat climate change and preserve natural resources.
We do not therefore fall into the error of demonizing the vegan diet without exploring its potential: if planned correctly, it can be incredibly nutritional and diversified.
