I was vegan from 1995, for about 20 years
I said it always kept me slim - then I realised that wasn't strictly true
I lost weight in the initial few years, but then started piling on the weight after a brush with raw veganism - eating too many tropical fruits
And then just becoming a carb addict - sourdough bread, pasta, rice, oats and even carb milk!!
It wasn't actually until 7 years into my journey when I started fasting and colonic Cleansing in 2003, that I began to lose weight
And I was a "healthy vegan"
Zero refined sugar, i read ALL food labels and never cheated
Around this time I developed ROSACEA - an issue I later discovered was attributed to vegans due to
1) a lack of amino acid - lysine
2) a lack of hydrochloric stomach acid
In 2007 I began my Cranio-Sacral Therapy course in London and the ONLY half-way vegan food was Indian food - of course made with ghee
In 2015 after most vegetarians and vegans I'd known had started eating meat - I also decided to experiment with the Ketogenic diet (cutting carbs and ketosis)
It was then that I became a fat burning 🔥 machine
I started with chicken broth and couldn't believe how it improved my skin
I started experimenting with removing inflammatory foods:
- fruits
- nightshades
- root vegetables
And slowly my skin started to improve
I had so much energy, also as a result of developing my NEW shadow work - work out
I was literally bouncing off the walls with energy and managed to create, sustain and maintain my goal weight of 8 stone 7lbs = 119lbs = 54kg
The year covid hit, my mum died and I lost my business - I'd just ploughed $50k into
And my skin exploded 💥
I began understanding gut health and leaky gut more and more
The 500+ days of fasting x 10 years intermittent fasting had burned ALL THE PLAQUE accumulated in my gut over the years and now it was red raw
I needed to repair my gut lining
I kept hearing about carnivore
Pure collagen
The rest, as they say - is history
