I was on a strict raw vegan diet for about nine months, and the primary reason I stopped was "brain fog". I just couldn't think and didn't want to, compared to before, and adding meat to my diet resolved it within a week or so. This is a common story among the people I met in that community. I don't know how much of this experience was due to the "raw" or "strict" parts. For all I know I would have done fine as cooked-food vegan or an oreos and fritos vegan.
I transitioned to all carnivore 11 months ago and have not had similar health problems. Or any health problems that I can attribute to the diet. This line from the article nicely summarizes my current point of view:

If you're seeking the most dense and complete nutrition your quest will tend to lead you toward organ meats rather than plants.
- spicymaki 5y agoIsn’t that a bit extreme? Meat is contains saturated fat, cholesterol, and is carcinogenic in many forms so you may be harming your health long term. Plant based foods also contain nutrients you cannot obtain from meat alone. You are also missing fiber which used to manage blood sugar, cholesterol, and improves colon health. Then there is ethical and environmental issue. The latest IPPC report should give you pause. Raw vegan is problematic since cooking food releases nutrients. Many raw vegans refuse to supplement as well, which is unsustainable.
