I've been vegan for just over 2.5 months. I've also started exercising by getting about 10k steps in each day at the same time. However, I have to say that my knees and lower back ache. (Where I walk there are a lot of stairs and "rough" terrain.)
I don't know if it is related to this but I find myself yearning for some meat (my inside voice telling me it will help with my joint aches).
So, what am I missing (or doing wrong) that is causing my joints to ache? Is this just "normal" for someone new to exercise (I haven't done anything seriously related to exercise for almost 2 decades)? Am I missing some essential nutrient that I used to get from meat? Am I just doing too much too soon?
