    Don't feel bad. If being vegan was not for you then it is not for you. We know our own bodies and what we can or can not tolerate. Hope all goes well. I am happy to see you did what you wanted to do and not what others say.

    I am so glad that you absolutely stick to your guns, and that you don't let the vegan Pharisees pressure you into second guessing yourself. Your story and your life example are _so_ important in the recovery community. I have seen so many 'recovered' influencers who are vegan, and it seems so contradictory to me. Sure, I believe you can be vegan without having an eating disorder; but you cannot be someone with an ED history and be 'recovered' while still cutting out foods (unless you have a legitimate allergy to watch out for). We need people like you, unafraid and able to eat anything and everything, and advocating for animal nutrition. Love all your stuff!

      Appreciate the positive remarks!! Yes, veganism is not an eating disorder but those who had an ed best be extremely careful about eating a very restrictive diet. It just is too close to the unhealthy restriction of the past.

    Vegan for 24 years. I have been feeling extremely tired for years and have been to dieticians, doctors, naturopaths and I've changed my vegan diet multiple times to try and get better. I was told years ago that I shouldn't be on a vegan diet, particularly with my ancestry. Anyway, I have been getting worse and over the last four weeks I've ended up in ED twice. Most recently last Friday, I couldn't get out of bed and my body hurt all over. I have also been getting tachycardia. I normally get it occasionally, but it has been happening daily for 4 weeks and has been lasting hours. I've been prescribed beta blockers, but I've been taking it only when necessary as it can cause depression and they are addictive. My last hospital visit showed that my protein levels and amino acid levels were very, very low, so much so that the doctor asked me if I've been making myself throw up. I love food and have been told my vegan diet is adequate, but clearly it is no longer working for me.
    On Friday after I got out of hospital, as advised by the doctor, I went and had some protein straight away and have been doing so since and I'm already feeling much better.
    The last few days have been quite interesting. Today I've had people say to me, "wow, you look better! What are you doing?" ...and when I tell them, I've had both vegans and meat eaters alike telling me that I'm being over the top and surely I just need some more lentils. Primary school attitudes are not left behind at Primary school unfortunately...for some these attitudes carry on into adulthood.

      I’ve been vegan for 10 years I am African-American. But I have noticed the Caucasians seem to need meat in their diet. I even noticed that white people have more fang like teeth. African-Americans have more rounded and bigger flatter teeth. Even down to the hair, which is straight more like a lion. Black peoples hair is more woolly closer to more of a primate. So I’m starting to believe that white people will have more of a carnivore instinct. Your same story iv seen all over UA-cam of white people saying “I was vegan and then I got sick started eating meat know and I feel amazing.” 🤔 that can’t be a coincidence.

    Your video came up in my feed, probably because I'm an avid viewer of Vegan Deterioration. In my opinion, vegans, particularly the ones on you tube & Instagram are rude, cruel, & misrepresent themselves as compassionate. Hang in there & dont let the haters get you down. Do this for your health. I have M.S. & during a weak & painful moment, I tried veganism. In a matter of months, I could barely get out of bed. I healed the damage with an animal foods only diet for MONTHS to get back to a better place. I'm happy for you & am going to subscribe to your channel.

      @@flowwithchlo so as you know, when your ED also collides with veganism you think you feel great. And really for many years when I got out of the super restrictive stage, I don't remember having too many complaints but there was a point when actually committing to full recovery that I knew I couldn't cut out animal products. I wasn't satisfied after eating and being gassy and bloated isn't fun. I do feel better but still haven't seen any amazing hair, nail or skin differences as I would have hoped. But we are all different. I think EDs and veganism can't go together, but I'm sure there are people out there suited to the vegan lifestyle.

      I wonder what percentage of vegans live in nature. Animal rights do not exist in nature. A duck, for example, simply lets some of its nearly born chicks die on purpose. And of the chicks born, only 5% survive the first few weeks. Mother duck fears for her life and that of her young every day. They are eaten by fish, birds and rats, for example, and if they are alive they are often chased away. Male ducks practically rape the female ducks in an attempt to impregnate them. It's very extreme. Life in nature is very hard. Not just for the ducks. For example, fish also do not know whether they will still be alive the next day. We humans are 'unfortunately' omnivore and not herbivore. If you can live a healthy life as a herbivore then you are lucky.
