Several aspects in this.
First of all, there are two things that are never mentioned to people going vegan: you eat all the time, you go to the toilet all the time.
5 a day is not just the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat.Second. My best guess is that you are lacking energy because you are eating junk. You would probably also do that if the junk weren’t vegan.
Eat more food, but make sure it’s whole plant food. If your colleagues don’t go “wow, that’s a lot of vegetables/food/salad” you need to up the portion size. :)
I'm currently having a bit of a vegan/not-so-vegan crisis.
I've pretty much killed off all meat and dairy from my diet since I started living with my girlfriend, she has been vegan for a long time now and I was happy to try and make the change.
The problem: Since the switchover I am never not hungry, always craving more, which leads to me eating an excessive amount of carbs/junk and feel bloated constantly.
Along with this, I am lacking energy on the bike, to the point I can't be bothered riding, as I anticipate it's going to suck.
Do people recommend a protein supplement? Could this be why I'm hungry all the time!?
