I've been vegan for two years now and am loving it

• almond butter
• sweetcorn tinned
• cherry tomatoes
• spring onion
• noodles
• onions
• sweet potatoes
• couscous
• red kidney beans
• tinned tom
• rice (basmati)
• pasta
• ginger
• garlic
• carrots
• tofu
• mango
• spinach
• lettuce
• kale
• broccoli
• avocado
• bananas
• lemons
• nuts (almonds, peanuts, walnuts)
• oats

Things I rarely eat but sometimes have:
Bread
Fake meat stuff (very rarely in reality)

And what about quantities? And any other lifestyle changes you may have made?

I have 3 meals per day and not massive quantities but more than when I ate meat.

Begun working out more is one lifestyle change. Can’t think of any others, though one thing I thought could be related is the humidity in my house is 70%+ constantly

I’m unwell… AGAIN. Since becoming vegan I’ve been ill a lot more, could be a coincidence or another factor possibly but genuinely have been unwell LOADS lately. I feel like this past month or two I’ve either been ill or recovering.

I’ll never stop the vegan lifestyle but is there something I’m possibly missing?

Have you heard of the book "How Not to Die" ? A long-time vegan friend of mine gave it to me a few years ago, but I honestly have yet to read it. However, the author (Michael Greger, MD) shows up in many of the plant-based documentaries out there on Netflix. Might be worth checking out?

Funny, it’s on my bookshelf! Appreciate the recommendation, currently reading something though it’s definitely on my list

I doubt it's your diet. Maybe you're working out too much and not recovering sufficiently, and that affects your immunity. People who train too hard have weak immune systems.

Possibly, though because of being ill lately I’ve barely worked out at all. Maybe there’s just viruses going around because loads of people seem to be ill too.

Going to look at that app tracking nutrients

There is also the How not to die App that can be great to make sure you have a complete plant based nutrition. If you combined with cronometer.com you are on a great path.

@KJFast You could also get supplements like magnesium, creatine, sunshine/vitamin D , CBD oil, do some sort of oxygen therapy such as an hyperbaric chamber, do a high omega 3 meal every day as Bryan Johnson does. I'll be surprised if you do all this and your health doesn't improve.

There are numerous sources to cite, so let's just focus on the top 5:
A disclaimer most of the data comes from Plant-based meaning that people might indeed eat meat from time to time.

1. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10408398.2021.1918628
2. A prospective study of healthful and unhealthful plant-based diet and risk of overall and cause-specific mortality - European Journal of Nutrition
3. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.119.012865
4. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916523048773?via=ihub
5. Healthy Plant-Based Diets Are Associated with Lower Risk of All-Cause Mortality in US Adults

That being said, you can also find the specific study if you click on "full text"

I have created an overview and a guide on how you can access the studies.

The Consensus app itself has real experts behind it as advisors.
These include Nicholas Christakis, Layne Norton, and Stephen Wolfram.

In my opinion, it is an app/ website that anyone should use as a starting point for their research.

Top 100 US Restaurants 2024 - Yelp

Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in the US for 2024: Tucson - Tumerico; St. Louis - Menya Rui; Escondido, CA - Sunnyside Kitchen, and so many more.

www.yelp.com

The top rated restaurant is vegan/vegetarian Mexican food.

There is a tremendous opportunity in the plant-based restaurant space, and a lot of your customers don't need to be vegan/vegetarian (just read the reviews of Tumerico.)

Been listening quite much to Bryan Johnson lately and I must say eating my last meal earlier in the day has improved my sleep quite substantially. Really cool.
