Vegan diet leads to nutritional deficiencies
Being vegan means refusing all animal products.
If the diet is not balanced, it can lead to dietary deficiencies.
They can cause :
- Tiredness.
- Cravings for snacks.
- Physical symptoms.
How to avoid deficiency?
There is a way to ask the body directly what it needs! Discover the felt sense.
Is veganism healthy in the long term?
Some emotional memories cause physical imbalances.
The body then needs compensations to continue to function properly.
Meat, dairy products, fish, seafood, honey and eggs often serve as compensations.
Victor decides to stop eating meat. After two weeks, he feels tired and has no energy. He eats a slab of rump steak, and immediately feels better.
While exploring himself emotionally, Victor discovered two memories that prevent him from functioning without meat. After applying the emotional acceptance process, and after a few months of integration, Victor stops eating meat again. This time, he does not notice any decrease in energy.
I can be a vegetarian or vegan in the long term, as long as I :
- Undertake introspection, to free myself from imbalances requiring dietary compensations.
- Listen to my body to know exactly what I need.
- Have the essential foods in my kitchen!
