Hey folks, I want to start this off with I was a vegan for about 7 years before. Eventually I started getting sickly due to probably diet reasons and I ended up getting off the wagon for safety reasons.

I’m not sure what I did wrong. But 90% of my food is still vegan. I work a lot, probably more than people should. I’m wondering what your go to quick meal options are?

    I think B12 and iron was what hit me. I take a vegan vitamin now.

    I should add the only non-vegan foods I eat are cheese and yogurt and egg if it’s baked for me. IE I am not going to say no when our elderly neighbor bakes me muffins.

      A lot of vegans also underestimate the volume of food you need to eat too! Not sure if it fits into your lifestyle but make sure you’re eating enough or eat more than you think you need?

        Oh gosh I used to need to eat all the time. I lost a lot of weight when I first turned. After the initial fiber overload, I felt pretty good.
