Hi all,
Firstly, I would like to thank you all for being part of this community and for accepting me as a member. It is really amazing to have like-minded people to ask advice from, to share experiences with, and to support each other.
I changed my diet from carnivore to vegan in mid-February this year, so I have been strict vegan for 2 month and a half. I am careful to eat lots of green vegetables, cereals, pulses, nuts and raw oils. And so far I feel better. I feel lighter (lost some weight), with more energy, and better with myself because I am not feeding on other creatures suffering. Hence why, I would like to remain vegan.
I have been working from home since last summer, but I tried to go out in the open air at least twice or three times per week throughout the winter, but since the lockdown started I have been taking sporadic sunbaths in my garden. Also, I must admit that I have not taken D vitamin at all, and the only supplement I have been taking since early April is vitamin B12.
My skin used to be very oily, particularly in my face. I would not say that I suffered from acné but I was prone to have blackspots and pimples in my nose and chin.
After a month of my vegan diet, the excess of oil in my skin disappeared and I was very happy to notice this positive change.
However, at this point of my journey (2 and a half months later), I am noticing that my skin is turning very dry, flaky and itchy. So, I think I am missing some sort of nutrient that gives flexibility and tone to my skin.
Last week I started to eat a teaspoon of coconut oil, and I am also rub it in my skin, but it is still too soon to see the results.
Would you please let me know about your experiences with this issue?
Do you think this will be solved by taking a vitamin D supplement?
Other suggestions are welcome.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Stay safe and have a great week.
