My personal experience with various vegan diets – Low-carb or low-fat?
Here I share with you my personal experience with various vegan diets. Please read my conclusions at the end of the post too.
OK, let’s see my few years-long experiments with testing various popular vegan diets.
I am a researcher by training, I like to do experiments, even on myself. So I tried some approaches to see how my body reacts to certain changes in my diet.
What I found after these experiments is that it’s better to simply listen to my body than to follow diets. Our bodies know what is best for them and it can be completely different for you and me. Also, don’t be surprised if you find your food preferences change as you age or go through different life stages (puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause).
Important note:
These weight gains and losses are 2-3 kilos, not much really. The time frame of the described personal experience with these vegan diets is about 15 years, so I don’t often change my diet significantly. The aim was just to experiment and find a way of eating I enjoy the most and can sustain in the long term, while I’m healthy, happy, slim, have enough energy and my skin looks good. I know, I have a “few” requests 🙂
