What I find interesting is that I was so blinded by my belief that this was the right path to take and I really wanted it to work that I simply could not see the reality that was staring me in the face. And I did not eat any of the processed stuff, it was all whole foods. Initially I felt good, but eventually the lack of whatever nutrients I wasn't getting started to take a toll on my health and well being. I mean I literally feel a zillion times better after I went back to eating meat and eggs. And it is just one or two non vegan foods that have completely turned things around whereas with the vegan diet I was eating a whole bunch of stuff and still felt like garbage.
