FED UP... just to start with....
I am an overnight Vegan and have been only since November 2019.
Before my transition i was a bit chubbier than i would have liked but other than that all was well.
My skin and hair and everything was fine. i had a pretty balanced diet. ( apart from the takeaway weekends )
Since adapting to my new diet here is a list of the following things that have changed....
> Cystic acne around my chin,checks and jaw. ( never had acne )
> Dry Hair
> Pale
> Lost weight ( a good thing )
> my periods were so light and barley lasted 3 days for the first two months, the third month was more normal again.
But more than anything my mood has just changed i feel rubbish to be honest unhappy.
food made me so happy before, but now its a chore to try and eat.
I have tried so many blogs and posts you tube videos and way to try and make it more interesting.
I cant stand tofu, i have tried so many different ways to include chickpeas into my diet and other legumes.
really struggling, im pretty wholefood based not processed vegan foods. i struggle to get food down me at the moment its like ive lost my appetite completely. i take b12/ multivit and other supplements, i add nutritional yeast to my foods, i also have so many seeds i incorporate. but yet i still feel like im missing so much.
Anyone have anything similar to this, i feel a bit lost as i dont want to go back to meat, but at the same time cant go on feeling so miserable about it and feel like this.
i know its pretty obvious im not getting enough food in me, but there must be ways to still really enjoy vegan food.
belive me when i say i have really tried to make so much and so many times.
Please help. thanks
