before going vegan (full omni) i was tired all the time. after the change i immediately felt better all around, including more energy. now i am starting to get that dragging feeling again. everyone tells me it's the heat (it's over 100 degrees every day here) but i am wondering if it is something more.

what could i be missing from my diet that could cause this?

How is your B-vitamin intake? Make sure you are getting enough B (especially 6 and 12) and iron, along with Vitamin C rich foods.

Your fatigue might have nothing to do with your diet but something else- Like an underlying condition or maybe some sort of hormonal inbalance. Maybe a check-up is in order. :hamster:

:yes: Good point!

How's your water intake? Particularly when it's so hot, making sure you have enough fluids is important.

I admit my water intake has been lower than it should be lately. This is a silly excuse, but I left my hard plastic water bottle at my daughter's dance class and I have been slacking off ever since.

I will start supplementing with Vitamin B. My soy protein intake should definitely be adequate. I eat a ton of soy...

Maybe I should get a check up. I would rather go to a holistic doctor than a white coat lab guy who is just gonna write me some prescription for some crap and send me on my way. wugh...doctors irk me.

I'm guessing its the heat, becuase Iv been feeling all tired and like my body weighs a ton. Its been around mid 90's around here.

Have you had a blood sugar test recently?

Sometimes for some people soy can affect your thyroid function. However...none of us really knows, so I think you really should see a doctor...it couldn't hurt. Good Luck!
