I went Vegetarian in 88?
Vegan in 89. . .no meat, milk, sea food, eggs, cheese, ice cream, ect
The problem is I wasn't supplementing correctly-
so I ended up in the hospital.

I got sick too the first time i tried to go vegan. I lost alot of weight too. a naprapath said it was because I didn't detox first. It's really jarring to your body to have to get rid of all those toxins you've been eating forever. I just went cold turkey, no meat, dairy, processed food, white flour or white sugar. I ended up with flu like symptoms for a month. I started eating chicken again andit went away. This time I detoxed for a few days first. But sometime this spring or summer i'm going to do a full detox for a month. I did alot more research this time and am constantly thinking about what i'm eating, missing, needing. I keep track of protein and fat especially now. I'm also going to take a vegan cooking class soon to keep it fresh.
