Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
Less energy, although I don't think my lack of energy is related to my vegan diet.
Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
*hugs* tigerlily. i hope you feel better soon. i hate being tired :(
lately i feel very tired. ive been sleeping like 15 hours a day. ugh. *rolls eyes*
but the days i make sure to get enough protein and veggies/fruits, i feel really good. the days i dont, then i feel crappy.
Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
when I intially went veggie my energy levels went up like crazy.
I had been feeling very ill before - although I was mostly veggie but I had been told I had liver damage by the Dr.
I was told it could be the drink but I did stop totally but it made no difference at all.
I did some research and found that the hormones, steriods, antibiotics and other crap in meat n milk can cause a liver overload.
after only 2 weeks of packing it all in my energy levels went nuts and I was back to normal.
If I need an energy boost now I either juice my fav fruits or I take one of Dr Joes Esposito essential source suppliements.
The big mistake I see alot of new veggies make is they replace meat with cheese which like meat - is very difficult to digest and slows us down.
the other thing I do to boost energy is just to go for a walk as it alwasy works.

I want to go to my doctor but I'm afraid he'll get upset with me for being vegan or harrass me to eat meat, or whatever. I'm also afraid of the "I told you so" attitude my family might give me.
Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
a friend of mine who recently went vegan found the energy boost great but didnt keep up with eating the right stuff and complained of feeling tired too with
same sort of things.
when he got back to the good diet he felt great again very quickly
I wonder how much of it is in comparison to how he felt before and how much better he felt when on the healthy diet.

Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
Been vegan only about fifty days so a bit early to tell. Also take anti depressants which cause fatigue so doubt if being vegan will make a difference to my energy levels.
Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
I definately have way more energy.
Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
I can't answer very accurately, other health issues are sucking the energy right out of me.
Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
definitely loads more energy!
i sleep a lot, but that's for other reasons....but there's been no change with my sleeping habits with eating meat/being veggie/vegan. when i am awake now though, the world should watch out!! :D

yes, i am on a lot of medication too which really cause fatigue...but i imagine that on a vegan diet, even despite the medication, you will feel much healthier and full of vitality!
Re: More / less energy on a vegan diet?
I answered "No Difference," but my husband says I have alot more energy than before. That may or may not be because with the loss of 75lbs of excess me... but I lost that after going vegan. Indirectly more?
