My personal problems with trying to eat veganly
The raw vegan diet emerged as a overreaction to the Standard American Diet of processed omnivorism, as well as animal-cruelty videos. It is a diet that only works in theory, but fails in actual science and practice.
Now I'm not an expert on the science of food, but the paleo-diet has a far sounder basis in science, based on my own research.
Teal Swan says that the raw vegan diet is the best for spirituality and raising one's frequency. She may be right. The raw vegan diet may be the best for the spirit, but I believe that the paleo-diet is the best diet for the body and brain.
I have tried to eat raw vegan or even cooked vegan foods, but I have so much trouble, discomfort, and pain trying to digest it. It's ironic, isn't it? The common misconception out there is that omnivorism is harder to digest. "Raw plants have enzymes that help you digest food," the raw vegan evangelists always say. They also fail to say or know that they have inhibitors and defense-mechanicsms that prevent the digestion of the nutrients inside the food. If you can't digest the food, there's no point in eating it because you can eat as much as you want, but you won't get any nutrition from it.
I have had many more instances of digestive problems with raw and even cooked plants than animal-protein or fat. Maybe I come from a long line of carnivores, but my digestive system simply has a hard time of digesting plants, even if I take digestive enzymes in a pill. And isn't that a red flag right there? If a diet requires you to take digestive enzymes, B12-supplements, and Omega-3 fatty-acid pills, there's something wrong or incomplete about that diet.
The paleo-diet is not just about eating animal-protein and fat. That is the biggest misconception right there. You can eat vegetables and fruit as well, so you have the best of both worlds. My digestive system does the best when I eat mostly animals but some plants.
Loving animals is good, but love yourself first. Don't let your brain that says "Eating animals is evil," take over. Listen to your body. You may be one of the lucky ones and come from a long line of herbivores. If so, you will be able to handle more plants. If not, there's nothing evil about eating animals.
