  • Are you able to get request a blood test from your GP?

    depending on how nice your GP is...or just tell them you feel weak because of this diet your on and you want to get checked out. Make sure you ask for B12 specifically as it might not be part of the standard blood test. Also worth keeping a print out if you do them regularly (i.e. once a year) to track what diet tweaks help/hinder.

    Long term vegan supplement wise, if you're interested, I would focus on B12 (500mcg daily) and Vitamin D during winter months or even summer months (this is England after all..)

    Others not so regular- Iodine once a week and Omega 3 (1 or 2 tbsp daily from ground flax or chia seeds) if you're worried about healthy fats. However both of these I think are questionable.

    Excellent resource:
