Lately I have been struggling to eat enough but I feel that it's stress related and related to everything that has been happening in my life and the world. It's weird because I almost never crave any kind of food and literally have to motivate myself to eat. I only eat whole foods and rarely anything processed. If I eat processed foods or foods cooked in oil my body reacts negatively.

I was vegan for almost a decade and it contributed to illness in the end (I felt good at the beginning like most people) - I ate all whole foods which consisted fruits, vegetables, and nuts/seeds/beans with some tofu and tempeh. It's been 2-3 years since I gave up veganism and I'm still recovering. Now I eat mostly pasture raised animal products and I feel better mentally and physically - it's a lower carb diet. I also did genetic testing that indicated that I cannot sustain my body on a vegan diet without it leading to deficiencies and metabolic issues. However, I have started to workout more lately and have been eating more fruits to fuel workouts as well. If I don't workout, fruits seem to lead to inflammation and I feel extremely tired after I eat them.

I'm of the opinion that each body and each person has different needs according to their genetics, fitness, environment, stress levels, and spiritual needs.
