This time, it’s vegan!

Round 3

I have decided that veganism is not for me. In the short time that I was vegan, I had indications of nutritional deficiencies. Certainly, I did see some improvements in some areas, but there were signs of problems in others. My blood pressure went down, which was more than welcome. My cholesterol counts dropped dramatically. While for some that may be a plus, for me, they had dropped so low that one of my physicians was concerned. I experienced lethargy as well. My primary medical issue is a mood disorder. It is vitally important that I do what is necessary to protect a stable mood. Apparently, that includes eating meat. Low cholesterol levels are linked to depression, so I must keep them up, and eating meat helps do that. Since the vegan foods worked for me just as well as meats did while on the HCG Diet, I might include the vegan choices on occasion as well as meats as part of my plan this round.
