Good day people of the internet. Today marks day five of my vegan fast, which is also including gluten. The latter part is not really anything new to me since my wife and daughter both have gluten and dairy restrictions. I have read many times that eating meat from animals that are distressed and depressed will ultimately have an impact on our health since we are eating those hormones. I have seen some scientific data to back this claim up and the thought has made me wonder if my own psychological issues are partly a result of my diet. Of course working a job a hate to pay the bills has not helped much either, but responsibility is ever present. However, I know that is changing in the next few months as I am leaving my job, with some securities, but no real prospects lined up. I think to some degree, that is how we are supposed to live; in the moment and free of set schedules.
Yesterday was a day of massive headaches and body aches that I am attributing to the fast, but I do have these issues regularly as result of the lifestyle I have lived. Today feels much better, but the pain has shifted some.
I am looking for some insights from those of you who have experienced the changes that come with veganism.
