Vegan here; been on and off being strict vegetarian for quite some time, always quitting because i was not feeling well (and not talking to a doc or nutritionist about it
).
Im in a much better place now: Im getting treatment for PCOS. I have a GI and found i react badly to FODMAPs and have since changed my diet. I have discovered i have the APOA2 rs5082 double SNP, and have been keeping my sat fats VERY low. Since all this, being vegan has been something i can stick to for more than two months. Hasnt been hard at all (the weaning off the sat fats tho...).
The only trouble i have now is adjusting to a whole foods diet. I do really well with sugar in my diet but i want to make sure i get enough micronutrients in the long run and save my teeth. Whole foods has been hard because i dont really respond to the stretch receptors in my stomach. And i know from experience that it takes around two weeks to get used to a new diet so im giving it time but UGH. So hard to stick to when i know i can just grab a rootbeer or a lager
But im still excited about the future and enjoying the food.
Please feel free to ask me any questions or give me any advice![Victory hand :v: āļø](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/270c.png)
