Vegan for 6 months…Would NOT Recommend

I visited a vegan restaurant and everything had such a weird texture. I COULD NOT enjoy the food at all. This is the Vegan Chicken and Waffles. 2/10…would NOT recommend.

I was Vegan/Vegetarian for about 6 months and here is why I will never do it again.

°Eating Less meat caused me to eat way too many carbs. So I overdosed on carbs and still gained weight🙄

°I was never satisfied with any meal. I always felt deprived..which lead me to (see 1st point above)

°I went to a vegan diet because of health issues but that lifestyle caused more health issues

°My iron and ferritin were at an all time LOW. I felt horrible all the time…even worse than before. We (especially women) don’t know how much our iron affects our overall health. Sometimes I thought I was losing my mind

°ALL of my hair came out. I literally only have peach fuzz in the top. It comes out in clumps every time I wash and/or comb it. I’m still in the process of trying to grow it again. I’m able to do my own hair so I have covered it quite well with a nice protective style.

°So, all of this has had a negative effect on my confidence. I don’t walk with my head as high as before. I don’t want to go out as much. BUT I AM ON MY WAY TO AN EVEN BETTER VERSION OF MYSELF than I’ve ever seen. It will require some work but I will get there🤎

°°I don’t want to discourage anyone. I am only telling MY STORY°°

Veganism can be a healthy lifestyle choice, but it's not for everyone. Many individuals may face challenges such as nutrient deficiencies, particularly in iron and proteins, which can lead to fatigue and health issues. For women especially, monitoring iron levels is crucial since low iron can result in serious health problems, including hair loss and low energy. If you find yourself feeling deprived or unsatisfied with meals, it may lead to overeating carbs, impacting your weight and overall health. Some people report feeling worse after switching to a vegan diet, particularly if they don't adequately plan their meals to ensure they meet their nutritional needs. Exploring a varied diet that includes a balance of plant-based foods along with occasional animal products can often provide better health outcomes. Before committing to a vegan lifestyle, it's essential to understand and plan for your dietary needs to maintain health and confidence.
