Re: A great article about being a former vegan and making changes

Faith, you got to stop going down this road. It's not going to help you at all and might cause you to confine yourself in a box by trying to prove who's right or who's wrong rather than getting yourself well. You know what I suffered from before and that I still have AF. Just because your AF might be worse is no reason to minimize mine. My hypoglycemic symptoms were one of the worse here, but I chose to be open to trying new paths to health when everything else I tried failed, I didn't have anything left to lose, and this new advice seemed so 180 degrees from what I was told I needed to do to get well, so I'm not your enemy here. I'm being your friend.

If have no problems with you not being raw or vegan. I'm not raw of vegan or don't know if I ever care to be. I just started researching those diet because I started eating more in that direction and was surprised that the reasons most people failed on those diets was not because those diets were inherently deficient, it was because people were either eating too much fats, too much junk vegan foods, or simply weren't eating enough in general.

You've expressed a moral dilemma of feeling the need to eat meat for health reasons, but not wanting to for ethical reasons. I was partly showing people like you that you might not have to if you go back and look how you ate plant-based before and see if you made any of the most common mistakes and if so, perhaps you can correct them without having to leave that lifestyle you would prefer to stay in. I think I made all the common mistakes when I went vegetarian for a while a long time ago. It wasn't my fault I made those mistakes. I just hadn't come across the right way to live that lifestyle.

My fear is not that people go back to eating meat, it's going way far off into low-carb land where it's bound to cause its own problems like it did with me. Tweet
