![Eating Meat Again After 5 years [ex-vegan story]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DBQm6KaGtro/mqdefault.jpg)
It is important to talk about the potential danger of this diet/lifestyle. Some people do fine, most do not and need to change their ways. I think it is also important to give former vegans a place to go of acceptance and understanding. It seems people are almost afraid to get out of the lifestyle because other vegans can be awful to them for it. This channel is a great start!
Thank you! Yes, I received a lot of hate for leaving veganism which is very unfortunate coming from a group of people who believe so much in compassion. I will continue to speak my story and share so others can know that its okay to explore new ways of eating!
I'm quite shocked how much certain vegan spokespeople hate on those who get to escape the cult and get their health and happiness back. I think they'd love to bring their lives back to normal yet they are trapped. Congrats to all the ex-vegans who value their lives over the empty promises of the cult
@@verabeara2106 That's a common characteristic of a cult, yet, the people who are in it still don't see the sign until it's time for them to escape. Then they say, ah I see.
Why in the first place you have to justify to others regarding what you eat? You don't have to pay an annual fee as a member of the vegan church, lol. Just eat meat and forget them.
I left vegetarianism & veganism as well as religion myself. That community can be more religious than religion.
This is so helpful Chlo! Thank you! I was vegan for three years to try to heal from lyme disease and I ended up having new difficult symptoms such as hair loss, hormonal issues and anxiety! Ive been eating meat again for a few months now and I feel so much better!
ahh glad to hear that animal products have been helping! It's unbelievable how much of a difference animal products make in our life :)
OMG, I’m so happy for you!! I love how excited you were towards the end of this video and you look great. I was the same as you. I was vegan for 5 years and I felt awful! I was tired, I couldn’t breathe, my skin was dry and sallow AND grey! Mentally I was anxious and panicky. It was horrible. In the end, I was desperate and I ate a bacon sandwich. This followed me stepping into eating tuna, eggs and chicken and my body is so grateful! Thanks for sharing this story. 🥰
Glad to hear you are finding better health yourself! Thanks for sharing your story!
No period for 11 years? I'm so glad you got your health back. You look very happy and healthy.
Yes it's called Amenorrhea. It's from not being fueled adequately and too much stress so the body runs in an energy debt which causes the reproductive system to shut down. Im happy my health is back too! Thank you for your comment :)
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Anderson Iker instablaster =)
@Jedidiah Eddie thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Jedidiah Eddie it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
I love how you get so passionate talking about this! You look like a completely different person from a year ago! I think a lot of people will benefit from this information and this approach of being open and respectful of each other. I will keep watching! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for sharing! I was vegetarian for the better part of my 20’s (in my early 40’s now) - I lapsed into veganism a couple times. I had many health issues, was underweight, very under muscled, despite being active and lifting weights. I was so discouraged because I was eating such healthy food, but I was tired and didn’t feel well. Ignored the fact that it was probably not the right diet to nourish my body. Years later I found out that I have food sensitivities to gluten, beans, legumes, nightshades - everything I had been eating for years. I now eat a whole food diet - animals and plants. No gluten, wheat, grains, or other foods that I can’t tolerate. Veganism is not a “cure all” and it doesn’t work for everyone. Listen to your body, if you feel healthier eating fish, steak, eggs then go ahead and eat them!! There are many ways of eating that lead to good health!
Hi Chlo, you look really well I have to say. I’ve been vegan for around 4 years now and honestly feel done with it. This past year I’ve been experiencing a lot of what you mentioned, very dry skin, bloating and brain fog. And I just never feel satiated after food these days, been really craving eggs and meat. I think it’s time to eat some decent meals haha. Cheers and all the best to you.
Ahhh man I know how you feel. It sucks to feel so crappy all the time. I NEVER felt satiated on a vegan diet. Full, yes. Satiated, no. I always say listen to your body. If its telling you that you don't feel well eating that way, then its time to make some changes :)
@@flowwithchlo 💕exactly so
5 years is the average when a lot vegans ran out of gas so you're pretty close to the average. Congrats for waking up.
What a breath of fresh air! Eloquent and educated on the subject matter- thank you for sharing! Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Wowwww!!! The before and after photos towards the end of the video is astonishing. You look old and haggard on veganism but look absolutely amazing now that your eating normally. My jaw literally dropped
Yay!! So happy I found your channel! I just left v3ganisim a few days ago and omggggg already a huge difference, so much emotional release, had the same experiences with having my first eggs! Hopefully my teeth will reminilize! Lots of love and so much appreciation for you doing what you do!
Wahooooo!! Your journey is just beginning :) So excited for you!
Homemade bone broth helped my melting bone structure to rebuild time after time, one cup at a time. I can't stress enough how much tighter my teeth now sit in the gums after almost a year of ancestral protocols, and i love the difference in my jaws - they were literally melting to the point that there were holes in the jaw bone and my left side of the head slightly collapsed and folded in where the two jaws meet - at the prime of my years! Now they filled back in, also the sides of the scull and i feel the temple area has filled out nicely with new strong bone matter when i do my weekly scalp massages:) and i no longer have to envy people for their great bone structure cause i got mine back
@@verabeara2106 what are ancestral protocols?
You would think the need for so many supplements would prompt someone to question the vegan diet,it’s screaming deficient.
Yes! Oh man this is something that I should have mentioned but too much to say about this 🤣
I once purposely watched a vegan vlog and wrote down all of the powders and pills that went into her smoothie to make it healthy,you literally could find all 8!!!supplements in 1 egg!😳😂😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@susanzumback7711 yes we'll it's very evident the vegan diet has all the nutrition you could ever need due to the amount of vitamins vegans have to take 🤣🤣
Excellent point.... just talked to my mom about this today. Stop supplementing so much - it’s expensive and your body cannot absorb all of it ...that’s my opinion . I’ve cut back to the necessities
When I was struggling with health and considering eating eggs my vegan roommate was like "why don't you just supplement?". Excuse me? Why wouldn't I eat real foods before artificially supplementing? No sense no sense
Part of it for me was absolutism. A dietitian told me that other people she saw would cut back on things that were supposedly bad for health (like saturated fats at that time), whereas I would absolutely eliminate them. I wouldn't touch anything that I had come to believe was bad. Even a sip, literally, of wine or beer was off limits.
Someone I lived with noted that I was very strict with myself.
Omg I woke up and saw this-going to shower and then watch ,can not wait!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness I am going through this exact same thing! I was doing such a similar process. Healthy BMI, and eating SOOO much but only as perfectly clean and plant based as possbile" Had my first waffles made with tonnes of butter and eggs and milk and it was the greatest relief. Still have some way to go though!
Keep on going!
I went through this too some years ago. You will feel and look so much better as you add more animal products back in. Don't shy away from red meat - you need it!
all animal products in an as unaltered form as possible are very helpful, and especially homemade bonebroths complete perfectly the meats and provide all sorts of kinds of collagens. Congrats on your journey back to health:))
I love you! I love this video! This is exactly what I was feeling and what I am working to recover from after 18 years Vegetarian, 3 years Vegan, 2 of those years Raw Vegan! Hair started falling-out, teeth started rotting, memory started going, massive brain-fog, chronic fatigue, and horrible constipation! 2 weeks of eating meat and I have the best digestion I've had in 18 years!!!!!!!
Ahhh love to hear it!
I went through the same as 4 years vegan i deteriorated now following dr western price and feel grounded and regenerating
welcome to the good side!
Thank you very very much Chloe for this personal and sincere testimony helping me to open my eyes.
These two videos should be a widely distributed report through the media in order to warn people of the danger of this diet.
Thanks to you, I start to understand now the reason of my poor health and I can probably start to let it go.
Thanks for your kind words. I am glad that my message is resonating with you.
Breaking bread, feeling more connected to the land, and your ancestors..... helpful ways to transition back into animal products which was not psychologically easy for me, although my sunken eyes did help too lol! I could do way more pushups almost instantly because I had let the break down go way too long, also. I think young woman are suffering the most from commitment to a vegan lifestyle for reasons you touched on. People please be open to changing your diet and lifestyle when it is no longer working, these symptoms are not normal or to be brushed under a rug! The diatetic associations recommend veganism based on heart disease.... however there are so many indicators for health ! Your gums, teeth, sleep, hair, nails, menstrual cycle, body heat, metabolism, pain, digestion, joints, cravings these are all so important ! Stress can feel good but eventually you might crash if your cortisol and adrenaline are maxing to make up for lack in nutrients...
Yes such a good point! You may not get heart disease but what's your blood sugar level from all the carbs you eat or the level of iron you have in your blood. You're spot on about young girls being affected the most by a vegan diet... And unfortunately they are the ones that are falling for it because they see all these gorgeous skinny vegan girls who live in Hawaii and eat fruit bowls all day and think that by eating vegan they will have their life and look like them
I had the same symptoms as you and recently finally listened to my intuition about incorporating meat. Even after incorporating eggs and goat cheese I was still struggling and so underweight. Kind of look like you in your vegan picture. First time eating meat again was a relief 🥲
Glad you are starting to make some changes!!! Eating animal products is such a healing thing. I'm happy for the relief you are feeling :)
I was super diligent about macros and supplementing, but after 5 years of being vegan I had intense brain fog and lost my period. I used to judge people that went off veganism and I never thought that I would.
Yup... I know what you mean. I never thought I would leave veganism. I was soooo sure it was the PERFECT way to eat. Well... haha my thoughts changed on that.
5 years is the average when a lot of vegans ran out of gas. Congratulations for finding your way. Humans are omnivores for a reason.
@@jglee6721 we are more carnivore
How long did it take to clear your brain fog, was it pretty gradual?
@@OctopusH2Omany people can thrive on having more plant based products than animal products. I don’t believe in having minimal to no animal products but the reason we can eat plants and be healthy is proof enough we’re omnivores.
Oh. I'm so very happy for you - what a wonderful transformation back to youth and health. You are so beautiful and radiant now and you will be able to have those lovely healthy babies when you meet the right man.
Thank you :)
Wow i resonate with your health journey so much. I went vegan four a couple of years, i wasn’t super strict but I completely cut out out red meat, dairy and butter . I slowly started to introduce butter and goat cheese back into my diet but It wasn’t enough. I had so many issues , including brain fog, super bad anxiety , painful periods etc. my mom would always tell me you need to eat red meat . Towards the end I randomly developed really bad eczema on my hands and feet. The last thing that really opened my eyes was when i got my period and i got the worse period ever , horrible pain, vomiting, shaking it was absolutely terrible. I felt like my body was screaming at me that something wasn’t right. I started reading about the Weston Price foundation and I went to my local farmers market, bought grass fed beef, raw milk , eggs etc. the eczema on my hands and feet cleared up, my period came and i had no pain or crazy symptoms. Like so many people my anxiety has disappeared. Also, this whole time i thought i had candida , maybe i did from all the carbs but at the end of the day, I just needed to eat some animal foods 😅
ahhh yes the good old "I have candida" conundrum. Seems to be what a lot of people blame for everything when there is usually other things going on, like say eating a restrictive diet. Glad you are finding health and strength.
Congratulations. Great story.
I resonate so much with your story but I think you have to acknowledge your privilege in choosing sustainable meat. I believe sustainable farming is the future of animal agriculture but at this point it is a very expensive choice. In my country free range chickens and grass fed cows are ridiculously expensive for a college student and so difficult to find. I'm really grateful to have my grandparents to provide me with chickens, cheese, eggs and lamb but not everybody is in the same position and we have to acknowledge that.
Thank you, you're spreading such helpful information for the recovery community.
Everyone is in a different position, that goes without saying. Yes I am very fortunate but I also work very very very hard and money doesn't come easily too me. I've had a job since I was 14, got a scholarship for school, and worked 3 jobs (at once) all 7 years of my education to be able to afford these things.I studied Public Health and so I am very aware of the poverty of our nation and the harshness of food desserts that prevail our country. This is a social issue that will take years to correct which is unfortunate. I wish that they were cheaper options for good quality stuff and hopefully overtime as we continue to support these farmers the price will drop and it will be more affordable for everyone. Im a huge supporter of backyards chickens for those who have the space and ability to do that. I get 8 eggs a day from my chickens and simply feed them my scraps and let them roam the garden so they are not too much of a cost, besides winter time when we buy them some feed cause food is not as abundant.
Hell yeah!! You go girl!! ♥️
I'm with you!! I can't believe "health" bloggers/vloggers/TikTokers are allowed to share BS like saying that it's "toxic" to have your period!!!
Really really unfortunate
This video is absolutely incredible
I totally relate with your thoughts on BMI , when I had a BMI of 18 I was really emaciated it was really not healthy at all for me ...
Ya it's a shame that they put 18 at a healthy range because it is still a very low weight where most women can't thrive at.
@@flowwithchlo I believe there are a lot of issues with BMI. It takes only two values into the consideration, while human body is much more complex.
I was overweight my whole childhood, and once I lost weight, and my BMI was in a really healthy range, I just felt too skinny. My bones were overly showing, I had no muscles, and was sick a lot. Now, when I feel like I am at a good weight and I feel comfortable, now my doctor tells me that based on the BMI I am almost obese.
@Matej Kuric The BMI does not reflect the individual physiology of the human. It is a mere metric tool that comes in handy for comparative studies of stats and yet it reflects in no way the individual bodily strength and resiliance and evolutionary valuable stored bone matter and fat deposits. All physicians should take regular backup classes and learn about metabolic health, mitochondrial performance etc instead.
I relate so much to what you're sharing. I tried veganism twice, too. Suffered horribly the second time, especially because my end stage vegan days were as a raw vegan. I've been thinking a lot to myself on whether or not I suffer from orthorexia to be honest. I feel like there is a spectrum to it, and while my situation doesn't feel extreme, I feel like I have a problem, and I actively soothe myself when it comes to food
This is the most I've ever weighed, and I'm so happy. I'm 5' 10", 152 pounds. But my body fat percentage is at 21%. I have an hourglass figure, but I seem to be a slim hourglass.
I drink a lot of raw milk, I eat organs, and I'm generally happier. But I know I still have a ways to go.
It's a journey for sure. It took me years to finally find balance with it all. But you are doing the right thing by eating nutrient dense foods and nourishing your body after veganism as it can be extremely draining
@@flowwithchlo Thank you so much ♡
Thank you for this video ❤️
Very good video, very well said and analized.
You are blowing now. Happy you listened to your body. #reclaimyourhealth
Hey! Can you please tell me what level of vitamin B12 you had when you were a vegan?
Thank you, I was vegan, and I move to the woods to cultivate my food, I realized how veganism is no susteinable and its no true . But there is no so much information about this. So thank you so much
A few years ago, I was battling it out with this vegan mom who claimed that she'd use nothing from animal whatsoever in her garden only plant compost. What an idiot. I had to call her out because she raised her baby as vegan. I challenged her for free choice. Let the baby choose, but also put meat in front of him. Did I say she is an idiot?
I was vegan at 18 (vegetarian since 12) & got Botox at 25 cuz fine lines 🙄 and I had good skincare! Ridiculousssssss
Do you know which deficiencies cause brain fog? I started eat eggs again, it will help?
Omega 3's are a big one that affect vrain health. A lesser talked about one is cholesterol. If there's not enough cholesterol the synapses can't work properly and the myelin and sheath can deteriorate making nerve signals pass slower. Eggs is a great addition but highly recommend looking into other things as well like red meat as it wi really help with nutritional deficiencies. I reco.mend listening to Dr.Chris Kresser on the importance of animal foods!
well done!!!
Did you have any food sensitivities or gut issues that lead you to different diets? I’ve struggled with all diets I’ve tried because of histamine intolerance, leaky gut, hypoglycemia etc. I just want to eat a healthy balanced diet and feel good. Any advice?
Strengthening your body is what is so important. The body easily falls prey to digestive imbalances and strong reactions to foods when it is off balance. Usually due to underrating and over exercising.
I appreciate your insight. I was vegan for ab a year, then vegetarian for 8 years. I've hit post menopause at age 55 and am struggling with brain fog, aches, tiredness/fatigue. I recently found out I'm quite deficienct , #1 w/ protein. Started eating good meats, already feeling better. Treating the meat as a side and still packing in the vegs with my meals and I'm no longer taking a bunch of supplements.
@@michellegalvan4662 that’s awesome! Sounds like a healthy way to eat!!
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride talks about a former vegan who at a certain point in his veganism just couldn't resist some chicken his body ravenously felt it needed. And he wolfed down a whole cooked chicken.
You look great we lost so much weight an muscle in our face it crazy going back non vegan never want hear that word ever again it drag me down I feel free of a bondage ! Amen
Yes a lot of people lose muscle mass eating this way!!! Becomes so dangerous as they get older, our muscle mass is extremely important!
It’s pretty telling of the vegan culture that she has to justify and explain herself too this extent when obviously her health was so bad. Sad.
haha yes agree. The backlash I received was and continues to be RIDICULOUS
It's a cult and they don't like it when people leave the cult.
❤️❤️❤️
I was never fully vegan but was dairy free flexitarian. Had chicken or fish maybe once a week. Some full weeks no animal products at all. My period got more irregular (already was irregular and very painful which is why I tried flexitarian diet) and I was trying to conceive for 2 yrs w no luck. I started getting dry skin, dry down there and dry eyes and dry throat all of the time. My skin was looking dull. My periods were a bit less painful so I continued for 2yrs thinking it was working and I just needed to give it more time. Turns out my periods were so painful because I react horrible to dairy and beef which is why it got better. But now I was getting nasal allergies and rashes and it was kale, spinach and soy causing it which I was eating so much of! So I started eating animal products again regularly adding in seafood, chicken bone broth and lamb and goat milk while still avoiding beef, cows milk and the veg that did not agree with me and my next period was on time and painless. I noticed my libido returned with a vengeance. 4 months later I conceived and now I have a beautiful 4month baby boy.
Awwww that's such a beautiful ending!!! Looks like you figured out what works for you :) Isn't it crazy though that these shifts in food can result in radically different hormonal levels!!!
@@flowwithchlo yes and the whole point was to fix my hormones 😔
"YoU dIdN't Do It RiGhT"
blah hahaha
Your channel is wonderful! Thank you from an ex vegan ❤
Thank god you got out! Girl you’re glowing! There’s Nothing wrong with plant foods but eating them exclusively seems like a fast that the orthodox Christians do from time to time NOT a stable healthy diet.
Yup yup learned that the hard way haha
🙏🏼💯👌🏼
Was it 3 days or 3 months for u 2 have ur first period?
I went all in, left veganism, and got my period back 4 months later. It takes time for the body to recalibrate!
Ok as a life long vegetarian from birth, I feel sorry that this is the reaction you got about menstrual cycle. That makes my feeling strong veganism is a cult. Even our ancient wisdom speaks for vegetarians also to rely on healthy dairy fats such as Ghee, white butter, milk, etc. It was never removed. People then meat eaters or vegetarians did not live industrialized life. So no supplements, more purity. Veganism for me as a hard core vegetarian also looks like a cult not a healing methodology because a healer has to be open not an activist for one idea.
Also rich roll said he is now dealing with hormone issues....what does that say...
Reallyyyyyyyy??? Wow haven't heard of that, but I haven't followed him in a long long time. Not surprised really.
I didn't have a menstrual cycle for 11 years either and now I have osteoporosis but I don't think that was the only reason I have osteoporosis I'm sure it's also from years of under eating and over exercising,, have you ever had a dexa scan just to be on the safe side? I think every woman who has not menstruated for years should get a dexa scan regardless of age I know you're supposed to get one when you're in your 50s or 60s but they need to change that and make it so that people should get one starting in their 30s
Yes under-eating and over-exercising can definitely have a huge impact on osteoporosis. I have had a dexa scan and it wasn't the prettiest. I haven't gotten one post recovery to see the difference but maybe I will one day!
@@flowwithchlo and that's something that really upsets me about the medical system how they don't tell us that not having a period over exercising and under eating can put us at risk for osteoporosis all they do is give us birth control when we're not menstruating it makes me so upset! doctors are supposed to help us but sometimes they fail us and it's up to become proactive about our health
I just started my healing recovery journey in March of this year I think for a lot of us women recovering our bone health should definitely be part of our recovery let's all of us build bone density and reverse osteoporosis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm learning as much as I can from your wonderful videos to properly nourish my body the right way not be afraid of foods and feed my bones all the nutrition they need ♥️🙏🏻♥️ hopefully the next time we take our next dexa scan it'll show that we improved our bone health
💪🏻💪🏻❤️💪🏻💪🏻
Wow, the contrast with the vegans pictures was dramatic.
Did you used to follow an ayurvedic diet ?
I worked with an Ayurvedic partitioner for a while and did get into kitchari cleanses for a bit. Thats where my love for ghee came from. But I do not currently follow any diet.
I’m not vegan anymore because I’m pregnant and started craving meat 🥩 however I was still vegan when I became pregnant 🤰 I don’t really know how I became pregnant but I did
It happens. Everybody will have different weaknesses and for some still getting a cycle is their strength, for others it's the first thing to go.
Glad you started honoring your body and incorporating meat back in!
Do not be hard of youself, you are brave and most of people who are promoting plant based they do it for popularity. People with real jobs can not think every hour what they will eat or about pills. Also vegan perants that upsets me the moost, projecting on your kid with no real option what she/he will eat for me so crazy
Not hard on myself at all! This was the best decision that I have ever made! Its been almost 2 years now of eating tons of animal products!
@@flowwithchlo happy for you 💗
If vegans were really healthier, evolution would have made us all herbivores. We must take our health seriously. If you can live a healthy life as a herbivore/vegan, then you are one of the lucky ones.
I'm totally in love with a girl who is vegan for 6 years. She learned veganism in college.
I feel like she won't go out with me because I eat meat and wear leather. It sucks
Ooof ya thats difficult. As someone who spent most of her years dieting, looking for a partner with a very flexible open approach to eating is essential. It just impacts so much of your life. I know that this is a hard situation but remember that you can find a deep love with another--and that love can be more aligned nutritionally.
I was vegan for over 6 years and never lost my period 🤔
Good for you. You realize your comment is the same as saying... well, I DONT HAVE CANCER..
..
Or .. well when I EAT PEANUTS my throat doesn't close up...
your experience does not hold more weight than her experience. Your experience doesn't trump hers.
You looks good
thank you :)
This video is making me hungry....i looooove bone marrow.I had this epiphany about eating in front of my family. My mom was so hard on me about my weight when I was a kid and so much of this has been tied To me seeking approval not just from her but from others in general. This has been so eye opening for me ... I’d love to see a video on the same topic but for those who have always eaten animal foods. . H O W E V E R - I have been on the other end of the stick with being keto and paleo. I went 13 years without a period, the it was normal for a bit, and then stopped again. When your cycle stops your body is aging. And that should never happen at a young age
I love it, but the GYM, why, why did you go back to the GYM?
haha I like the gym, always have. I have a way different relationship to it now and dont spend hours a day in there but a good 40 min 3 max 4 times a week is something I love in my routine. I could go without it though and often take big breaks for multiple weeks but when I wanna go its fun :)
@@flowwithchlo I believe that nobody really likes the GYM, 😊 actually.
Dear fellow humans, you don't anyone to tell you what you need to eat and drink. All you need to do is "educate yourself" on your ancestors. Or just watch some episodes of 'Alone'.😂😆
Good luck trying to find anti vegan videos on UA-cam too. Wonder why?😱
Have you visited a slaughterhouse or watched the free documentary Dominion on UA-cam? Animal products are unnecessary violence according to all major dietetic associations.
I have a very large slaughterhouse around my house. My house is surrounded by water and grasslands with cows. In the spring I see plenty of nests with many young birds. I see that within a month few young birds are still alive. They are eaten by fish and birds. The fish also never know whether they will still be alive the next day. It's like a big slaughterhouse. Their life is tough. But the cows are always grazing happily and without stress. Cows don't have a bad life on their green grasslands.
Obviously all us ex vegans have watched the propaganda . Have you watched any nature documentary where the sninsl is eaten alive? That is nature
Let review your health in 20 yrs from now as your shoe for now fits well. You have good genes but not everyone can fit into your shoes .
I have to wonder with these so called healthy vegans aren’t eating animals behind the scenes 🤔.
to be honest I know for a fact that lots of them are.
I think ex vegans are so anti vegan because it assuage the guilt of going back to cruelty.
You obviously did not watch the video
20:07 11 years of amenorrhoea would mean that you had already had it for 7 years prior to becoming vegan? So being vegan was after all not the reason for your hormonal dysbalances? Not getting it.
Yes I first went vegan when I was 14 for 6 months wherein I lost my period. This was also when I became anorexic. Then years later I went vegan again and tried to recover but gaining weight, eating lots of food, and not exercising excessively and yet I still couldn't get my period back and was dealing with so many health issues. It wasn't until I added back animal products that my period came back.
@@flowwithchlo Still, I don't see what becoming anorexic would have to do with being a vegan. So you did not get your period back even during the time you stopped being vegan? If that is so, why blame it on only six months during which you went vegan than stopped being vegan and still did not get your period back? This does not make much sense to me from a logical standpoint but also, I think it's not okay to make people believe that being vegan equals losing your period, which is simply not true because I was vegan for years and never lost one single period.
@@icke11234 the point she made is, even though she wasn't anorexic anymore on a vegan diet, she wasn't having periods (which proves that it's very restrictive and not cutting it for her), and as soon as she started animal products she recovered from it. Now, we can't know for a fact that she ate enough
I hate to see people suffer and I'm sorry that you did. I must say, though, that just because you got ill being vegan, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with being vegan. It means there's something wrong with you. The AND, the British Dietetic Association, the Dieticians Association of Australia, British Nutrition Foundation, Dietitians of Canada and more say that vegan diets (albeit well planned ones) are suitable for all life stages. I'm curious to know why you appear to be so different.
Search UA-cam for “NO LONGER VEGAN” and you will see countless similar stories. Apparently VEGAN is unfortunately often unhealthy.
Why do most vegans quit then due to health issues from it? I'd say the people who can remain vegan over 10 years are the exception .
@@cassclare Most vegans who quit succumbed to peer pressure and convenience, in my experience. Those with health issues simply ate rubbish and were looking for an excuse to quit. Most ex-vegans are dishonest attention seekers.
@@cassclare I think that those who quite due to health are extremely rare. Most who quit were never completely convinced that causing unnecessary harm to others was wrong. Most who quit allowed themselves to drift back to mainstream culture but needed an excuse.
You should consider leaning more into Keto or carnivore. Only carnivore if you wish to do a more elimination diet to truly reset your body then re-introduce other products individually to see how you react. I was a type 2 diabetic and moving away from the standard American diet to first keto and now more on carnivore has reversed my condition and down from heaviest of 310lbs to 184 lbs. I'm at the healthiest I've ever been now at 51 yo. I do still have some veg here and there (more like trace type amounts) and I do some diary along with animal products. Anyways, just a thought if you wish to give keto or carnivore try for 30 days.
I don't think a young woman with a history of eating disorder, who wants to have a family and is healthy should think about another extreme diet. Chloe is French and will likely thrive best on her ancestral diet which is an omnivorous seasonally based diet. But you are right that keto/carnivore can help some people with health issues.
@@eulalia3446 agreed! So inappropriate to hear a woman talk about her eating disorder and start a comment by saying 'you should try this restrictive diet'. We should all think before we comment. If something works for you, share that(: do NOT offer up advise to someone not asking for any
Be careful you’re gonna get in trouble saying men and women are different
Animals want to live.
Yes, and humans are animals who also want to live healthy lives ❤️
So do I
Amber if you were a real vegan you would have some compassion towards humans too. But you’re just a self righteous cult member looking for an ego boost
So does bacteria and that doesn't stop you using soap
Poor animals..baby pigs love their mummies
How come you only care about animals you can photo-op with?
Selfish
Get lost
If vegans were really healthier, evolution would have made us all herbivores. We must take our health seriously.
