Allergies, vegan, paleo etc?
Vegan. Almost four years now and it’s the best thing I ever did for myself.
Mushrooms are disgusting. Keep that fungus away from my plate.
Beyond that and a few unusual organs/bugs, I’ll eat pretty much anything.
I’m on a all animal products diet for gut and health reasons. I started doing keto for hypertension, once that cleared up I found full carnivore much easier to maintain. The benefits to my health have been pretty amazing. If I cheat, or go off the food plan, I feel it pretty quickly.
If I eat something with sugar now, I can feel my heart rate increase. If I eat some plant products, I can feel my gut bloating.
It does make eating out a little tricky, but most restaurants have a good option on the menu (poached eggs, grilled chicken, etc)
I can’t have too much salt because I have Menieres disease. It’s a degenerative inner ear problem which means too much salt makes me dizzy, more salt makes my inner ear swell, that leads to feeling like there’s something in my ear and vertigo.
I’m one of the “lucky” ones. I can control it with diet (at least so far) but, other people can’t. That means they live in constant fear of a vertigo attack or even what they call “drop attacks” which makes you feel like you’re pinned to the ground. Often there’s no warning before they hit.
i have some kind of dairy intolerance (untested, lactase only partially alleviates symptoms), threw up eggs recently and now want nothing to do with them, think gelatin and honey are just gross, and am too cheap/worried about contamination to buy meat and fish
all of this adds up to me being basically some kind of mostly vegan but i can’t take ethical credit for it lol
