Anyone else gone back to eating meat after being veggie? Did it help your energy levels?
I've been vegetarian for over 20 years, since I was about 11. Ever since I can remember I've been extremely low in energy - but despite repeated blood tests to check my thyroid, hormones, etc. nothing shows up as an obvious cause.
I eat a healthy diet of fresh food and I exercise a fair bit although not nearly enough to exhaust me, and I eat plenty of calories. Occasionally my yearly physical shows up slightly low iron, B12 or Vitamin D but nothing major - and mostly they are all normal. Even after taking supplements and adjusting my diet to correct the levels, my energy levels don't improve.
I started eating fish a couple of years ago to see if that would help, but it hasn't. Plus I still find it quite hard to eat.
I'm getting so fed up that I'm considering trying meat to see if that would make a difference. Although I'm just not sure I could bring myself to eat it (again ethical reasons, and also after having not eaten it for so long, I think the texture, etc. would freak me out). But I'm getting desperate.
Any advice would be VERY gratefully received - thank you in advance!
