RE: What the fork am i eating? What The Health. Vegan: day 1 of ?

in #food8 years ago

I don't get it. A diet like that is doomed to cause deficiencies. In amino acids and in vitamin b12 and vitamin d in certain areas.

Vegans are particularly at risk. There are ways to avoid it and without crapping in your salad bowl -eat fish! And at least two eggs a day!

Personally I am in the paleo camp and guess what? I eat more veg than ever before. And lovely meat. Lots of it. The benefit is sustained energy throughout the day.

There are certain things I avoid: milk and most grains. Should have done that all my life.

Sort:  

I supplement vitamin D in winter but because i'm in Spain i get plenty of sunshine - best source!

b12 is a slight worry, but i have brewers yeast tablets occasionally, and cereal and fake grass milk that is fortified with it.

Eggs are out currently!
