3 changes I experienced when I stopped being vegan 👇
1. I ran cold 24/7 as a vegan. My hands and feet were cold even when it was warm out. It got so bad that before class presentations or a date: I'd start shivering and would have to take warm baths beforehand. Within days of eating animal fats and highly bioavailable protein/nutrients, my body felt like a furnace. Since then I've gone on night walks in the cold and surfed for hours in cold water and been more than fine.
2. My brain fog was gone within 1 night of sleep. I'd had it for about my last 18 months as a vegan. The morning after my first day eating meat again, I woke up feeling like my brain had just gotten a massive software update. Background noise was quiet. I'd heard stories like this and thought they were placebo. Maybe...but whatever it is, it worked.
3. I'd had back acne for YEARS, and it was gone within months of eating mostly animal fats. That's the opposite of what I was told would happen in my university nutrition classes.
Anyone else go through this? If you've switched from plant based to a more animal-based diet, what changed for you? 👇
