I fell for the vegan trap in 2004. I have just finished business school, and I’ve worked so hard to lose that hundred pounds, but it wasn’t coming off.
So I went vegan. Sure enough, I got more energy. I did not know that it was because the omega-six plant fats were disrupting my mitochondrial membrane, which caused a temporary increase in my thyroid hormone, which gave me more energy.
As the lack of protein, the omega-six fats, the lectins, the oxalate, and the phytic acid wreaked their havoc on my immune system and my energy production, I started to feel worse.
But I had already learned that being vegan gave me energy, so I doubled down on it and sprouted green smoothies even harder.
