I felt better immediately. I've done everything from Atkin's to Paleo, and no diet has ever made me feel as good as HCLF vegan. I didn't even know my body could feel this good at all. It's the first diet where I actually love being on it and never want to stop doing it. So easy to stick to. My body had to adjust to all the fibre at first (a lot of trips to the bathroom lmao), but that went back to normal after a few days. Changes: -Better digestion -Farts smell like nothing -Body odour improved -Poops are healthy as fuck and don't even smell bad -Acne is gone -Hair and nails grow faster and stronger -Maintaining and losing weight is effortless compared to other diets -More energy -Better moods -No more pms symptoms -Body feels lighter and cleaner -Become more in tune with your body (you'll notice how different foods affect you) -Never feel hungry because you don't have to calorie restrict on a hclf vegan diet. I can eat whenever I want and however much I want. -Softer skin -Clearer thinking -Better immune system -Muscle is surprisingly firmer I can really go on forever. Feel free to message me if you want any advice though, I'd love to help :)
It depends on your body. My friend went vegan about a year ago and she said it had major effects on her body: weight loss, more energy, better sleep, and she also had to start taking vitamins. I decided I would try it out for a few months (it's been 4 months). It's had minimal to no effects on my body.
Get enough protein and you'll do well. You can't expect a lot of change at this point. At least not visible change. However, less bad cholesterol will make your vascular system happy.
You may notice less body odor that is meat related. However, you may notice more body odor from getting heavier into garlic or other spices.
You'll do just fine.

All right :) I'm making the transition over this next month. I really hate garlic, so I hope I don't smell like that lol
Do you mean vegetarian? Vegetarians benefit by having healthy skin due to consuming an abundance of vegetables that are rich in micronutrients, but overall a vegetarian diet is lacking in iodine and DHA.
One of the best diets is actually pesco-vegetarian, because you get DHA from seafood.
@asker iodine (from quesrionable sources) is added to table salt. naturally though, there is none. there are however plenty of foods that contain a lot. examples: seaweeds and cranberries. many other foods have good amounts as well. key is to eat a varied diet to get adequate amounts of nutrients. (:
To be honest, I don't know what changes to expect but I have vegan friends who are very religious about it.
Men and people who exercise regularly, need a much, much higher intake of proteins, zinc and iron. Meats and eggs usually provide these on high amounts so you have to be very careful and make sure you eat enough foods that provide these nutrients like cashews, almonds, beans, sunflower seeds, etc (I'm sure you already consulted a professional). You don't want to end up with anemia in your beginning stages.
I've been a vegan for two years. At first I was weak all the time but that's bc I didn't do it right. Now I have lots of energy and yesterday I checked my weight for the first time in months. I lost almost 25 pounds and never even noticed. Only problem is eating out. Not a whole lot of options
You should still intake protein. Anyway, I had a friend who went through a similar diet change. He lost about 20 pounds, but he also increased his workout as well. He said he felt that he had more energy and a lot less sluggish. The bad stuff that went with the diet was his gas. It's going to take your body some time to adjust to the diet, and you may get bad gas.

ok, pretty much all leafy greens are a great source of iron. hempseeds and hemp protein are excellent, as well. thyme is great and enhances flavor, etc. it's all about seasoning! use oils you like and herbs and spices to make them taste better. greens are also a great souce of calcium. have them with something high in vitamin c (such as a glass of orange juice) to help better absorb both.
another great supplement is unsulphured black strap molasses.
I'm vegan. I haven't eaten meat in 20 years. I've never had an issue getting enough iron. in fact, iron deficiency is just as high in meat eaters as it is for vegetarians.
That's very unlikely to happen. My whole family was raised eating mean and everything else out of iron skillets and we didn't get to much iron. Not to mention being female between the age 18-24 she's bound to be having her time of the month and that causes blood loss which could lead to iron deficiency anemia if she's not getting enough iron.
Are you under a doctors care for your anemia? You need to be anemia isn't nothing to take lightly. If I were you I would check with your doctor before going a solid vegan diet and also talk to a dietitian.
