I am going to get healthy!

[Deleted member 68927]

Even if I have to go to the doctors every off day from work to make up for the neglect my old doctor put me through. I already booked an hour with a doctor because my stomach is upset, and has been for months. My old doctor gave me pills for diarrhea, but I am beginning to think that it was not enough. Because my stomach has been upset for more than a year now.

I have no idea why, but I am starting to want to live. Maybe until 120! Maybe even until 150! Depending on how far medicine progresses in the future!

(This might also have something to do with the fact that I am selling things during my job these days, and the clients are no longer willing to sell my kidneys to the black market just to get a free router XD (I can imagine them doing that while bathed in goat blood for some reason. idk.))

Who else is happy to be alive? Can I get a high five?

(PS: I am now vegan and feel great! My doctor, the new one, forbids me to eat animal products. I have to drink protein shakes and take vitamins, but as it turns out, I can cook vegan meals better than normal meals. Go figure. I have never eaten so well. And that is counting the time when I tried out a new Pizza from Pizza lab every Friday :P Also, now I have more money to spend. Meat is expensive, which just goes to show that Karma is a real thing.)

I answered no because I rarely blindly trust what the doctor says.
But high five anyway, sistah!

I'm glad you decided to take this step. Keep in mind that meat has many important elements for nutrition, including protein and vitamin B12, so you'll need to find an alternative source. Excessive meat consumption isn't healthy, but I wouldn't eliminate it entirely. White meats like turkey or fish are exceptional from a nutritional standpoint. Anyway, doing a vegan detox will surely do you good. Keep it up!

Celiac disease might be a possibility maybe get tested for it?

My sister had it for years and was always underweight and eventually a new doctor finally tested her for it.

I would not go vegan. On the topic of getting healthy, you can do it! I'm rooting for you!

 

[Rhaps]

Currently, I am making up for the nurient I'm missing due to hypermetabolism I suffered from for a long time.

I'm not going vegan.

All of that aside, don't you dare think it isn't worth living, this is just a low part of your life.

Going vegan comes with other issues that you have to monitor, such as whether you'll need supplements or not. Generally though, veganism is healthier overall, but you'll have to monitor your nutrient intake.

 

[KoyukiMegumi]

Eh, leaving meat? No thanks! I don't want to rely on supplements for all my essential needs.

But go healthy if you want to! Just know that veganism doesn't equal health! It's all about a balance of lifestyle and diet! But as I say, we all have to die from something, and let me tell you, if I die because I ate soft cream, then so be it! I'm eating my ice cream!

There's a difference between vegan and vegetarian. If they're telling me to be *vegan*, then they're not my doctor anymore, that's a breach of professionality and I can not trust them to be professional in other ways. Because veganism is an ethical ideology regarding the treatment of animals, not just a matter of what one consumes.

I don't even disagree with veganism (from my understanding of it. Depends on the lengths I suppose. Using animals products that don't hurt the animal to acquire, from places that treat their animals well, shouldn't be restricted imo, don't know how the broader vegan community stands on that) morally I would say it's right, but morals don't always follow practicality, or what's natural. Killing to eat is part of nature, and nutritionally speaking, our bodies are designed to eat meat, and that has to come from somewhere. It's really hard, or possibly impossible with current food sources, to acquire a proper balance of nutrition without it.

Inhales eggs like there is no tomorrow.

I'd rather die fat and unhealthy but also happy

Veganism is a privilege of the 21st century. It’s just one of the many new ways we’ve found to curse nature and natural order

Humans didn’t evolve to function on plants alone. I doubt any serious primary care/physician would recommend going vegan.

There are people who can't eat animal products. They are super extreme minority, but people like this exist. Maybe dora is one of them.

None of those people are that way naturally it is typically a side effect of something else

Eh. Is it important?

The point was that Veganism is a privilege of the 21st century and that unless absolutely medically necessary like those people you pointed out "normal" people probably shouldn't try to be vegan

 

[Bobple]

For me, depends on the reason.
If I was told to stop for genuine medical reason and it would be a danger if I kept eating meat, I would stop after confirming.
If it was a generic statement of it is healthy so you should do it, then no.

Yes?

 

[RepresentingSilence]

Yes?

I was just trying to point out that people aren't born unable to eat meat that would mean that if Dora IS one of those people there's probably something else going on medically

Meat is love, Meat is life.

But the whole thing of wanting to live longer is something I went through as well. Spent years being suicidal before having a near death experience when I was 19. Being so close to death's embrace made me realize I wanted to live. Forever and ever until the lights in the universe go out.
