If you're not eating enough, I suggest adding calorie-dense food like potatoes. But if you're not losing weight, you probably are eating enough, but maybe not the right things. Several nutritional deficiencies can make you more fatigued, including Vitamin D and iron. I hope your doctor helps.

Hi everybody,
I have been eating vegan for about 5 months now (still improving the other parts of my lifestyle from day to day) and I have recently noticed that I was sleeping way more than ever before! I would usually sleep for 8 hours and feel completely rested, but I now have to sleep for about 10 hours to be good for the day. So last week, I decided to look further into it by writing out everything I eat in a day on a website. I don't know if the welbsite is accurate, but according to the charts, turns out I only eat about 1500kcal a day instead of the 2100kcal I need. But the problem is, if I really lack those 600kcal a day, I feel full after every single meal. I even most days feel like I wouldn't be hungry for 3 days! Has anyone experienced this? If so how did you get to eat more? Am I making a big deal for nothing? Thank you for reading this and happy new year, Elyath PS: I am going to see a doctor for this, and I am quite nervous because eating is really taboo here (I currently live in France) and there is only one vegan-friendly doctor in my area but she doesn't accept any new patient at the moment. |
Oh yeah, I do suggest getting bloodwork done so you have a baseline to judge future changes on.
Supplement B12 for sure-https://www.vegansociety.com/resources/nutrition-and-health/vitamins-minerals-and-nutrients/vitamin-b12-your-key-facts/what-every-vegan-should-know-about-vitamin-b12 I found I was very low in D, although my iron went up in a plant based diet. I simply thought about what I eat, include c with iron foods, avoid caffeine with iron foods, eat a fortified cereal and I use a cast iron skillet for almost everything. I was low eating meat |
Hello, I was reading your post and the part about using a cast iron skillet,which I read about before is confusing. What are the facts behind cooking with a cast iron skillet?
Thank You |
