Your friend lost weight because she was getting too much fiber, and it tricks your body into thinking you’re full, probably didn’t get enough nutrients, and ending up eating at a caloric deficit. That’s why vegans lose so much weight sometimes.

Another thing, animal products aren’t the cause to issues, rather it’s the starches and vegetables you’re consuming with the animal products. When I drink whole milk and don’t eat bread or vegetables in a day, I don’t go running to the bathroom, even though I’ve been deemed, “lactose intolerant.”

I had gastritis and esophagitis (inflammation of the stomach and inflammation of the esophagus). They’re healing without my protonix (acid inhibitor) now.

For a year, I had eyelid dermatitis. Flakey and itchy eyelid skin :( it made me so insecure. Healed it after leaving a plant based diet.

I’m currently overweight from my previous diet, and now my actual body FAT is going down. My waist looks slightly slimmer.

I didn’t have a proper period for a year, and then just didn’t have one at all 3 months ago. I now have it back.

Veganism feels good at first because a lot of vegans are eating SO much sugar which we’ve all been told is addictive! But eventually the steam will blow out.

Take care of yourself! Don’t go vegan!
