The long, LONG, LONGER list of VEGAN-CAUSED health ailments, diseases, and deaths..

186. Everyone is different

I practice Strict Paleo and eat no vegetables minus sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, and carrots.

For the record: I had bad eating habits from the Army. I was over 200 pounds 5 years ago (only 5'7) and my cholesterol and blood sugar levels were both bad. I was pre-diabetic and had whacked out LDL's. I initially switched to a high vegetable/low meat diet, I got sick within two weeks. I had a list of symptoms that I did not have previously. I was weak, dizzy, vomiting all the time and worst of all after three months my weight was 215 and my blood sugar and my cholesterol was no better, it wasn't worse but it was no better.

I ran into a friend of mine from the Army and she looked amazing. She used to be overweight and often in and out of Army sick call. Now she was lean, toned and looked like she could kill with her bare hands. I asked her what her exercise secret was. She said, no exercise secret, I eat Paleo. I asked her what it was, she told me and I reluctantly decided to give it a shot. Well needless to say it has done miracles for me.

I now eat meat every meal of the day. I usually have eggs, bacon, sausage and black coffee for breakfast. Lunch is usually some kind of chicken, some tuna stuffed avocados, and maybe a small kale and spinach salad and for dinner I eat red meat 5-6 nights a week. My exercise is the same level as before I switched to Paleo.

Here are my results:

AIP 2011: 5'7 213 pounds Cholesterol of 250 Blood Sugar of 99 (Vegetable heavy/ low meat/low fat diet)
AIP2014: 5'7 165 pounds Cholesterol of 158 Blood Sugar of 73 (Meat heavy, Fat heavy, little to no vegetables)

My doctor did a Complete blood count on me in July for my last physical, my readings are immaculate, dead center of optimal for each and every reading and I am now 42 years old. He asked me what my secret was, I told him Paleo. It is a miracle for me....

I weigh less now than when I was a 23 year old in the Army and I am stronger, faster and I look better. Paleo saved my health. Everyone is different. I am glad Vegan works for you, but it doesn't work for everyone. More importantly, I found out that there are more meats and fats out there than I ever imagined. I eat beef, liver, pork, chicken, duck, buffalo, rabbit, deer, I cook in duck fat, coconut oil, lard, I have never been happier, and I still get to eat steak.
