Was your previous non-vegan diet actually good? As in high on fibrous veggies, moderate amount of complex carbs, low on sugar and high on high quality protein?

When people switch to vegan they essentially rely more on home cooked meals and stay away from junk it doesn’t mean that a vegan diet is better than a non vegan diet of the same quality.
If you switch from twinkies to lentil patties and cauliflower rice it’s no wonder that you feel better.
- abfan1127 7y agoI came here to say this. When I switched from a typical American diet of crappy carbs, soda, and other sugar based crap to a, High Fat, High Protein diet, I got a ton of energy, slept better, etc. While I see a ton of value in my dietary choices, it was the lack of sugar that made life better.
- somehnguy 7y agoI did the keto diet for the majority of last year to lose weight. It was extremely successful and I lost 75 pounds. I noticed the exact same thing you did in regards to energy levels and overall just feeling better. My energy levels did not fluctuate at all during the day, even post heavy meals. I also didn't seem to have any of those random days where you just feel like you're dragging along.
