There are a number of people that tout themselves as ex-vegans because they went vegan, (probably) didn't eat a well-balanced enough diet, went to their doctor (who said "LOL just eat meat silly!"), got better, and then become staunch anti-vegans.
I think this happens because people try to just cut out non-vegan things from their current diet, and think that their work is done.
- tjl 12y agoSince I was switching diets for health reasons I luckily had the advice of a nutritionist, who was excellent. She helped me a lot. I recall watching a talk (I think it was a TED talk) where it was suggested that one goes vegetarian for a day or two a week. I think the idea was to help the environment by eating less meat (it's been a while since I watched it).
