Hi guys
I went vegan a few weeks ago for health and environmental reasons and I was doing fine. Felt a little more tired than usual and had a couple breakouts but was relieved to know my body was just detoxing. I couldn't wait for the period to be over so I could begin experiencing the benefits of being vegan.
Unfortunately my mum is totally against it and forced me to eat meat a few times, so the longest I went being strictly vegan was like 2 weeks at a time. She said that being vegan wasn't right for me - I can't see it, but my family told me my face looks dull and grey, I look weak etc but I don't know why because I consumed mostly carbs and fruit/vegetables. Could it be that I'm just not supposed to be vegan? I'd love to be vegan long term, but if it's affecting my appearance so much I can't be so sure. Any help would be appreciated
