I felt fine while eating vegan food but got nauseous after eating meat. A lot of it has been psychological for me, but beef gave my body a reaction. I've had to work up to it.. eggs are easily digestible, so I've started there. Have you considered eating six small meals instead of 3 big ones? Do you think that would help? This is a shock to the body when you've gone the majority of your life without meat.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/111953/how-many-of-you-have-tried-raw-veganism-and-what-were-your-reasons-for-going-pale/111963#111963 Answer by Kate for How many of you have tried raw veganism and what were your reasons for going Paleo? Kate 2012-04-14T12:04:53Z 2012-04-14T12:04:53Z <p>I was vegan for a few years and I gained a lot of weight. It wasn't like I was eating a lot of junk, I was just eating carbs and sugar all the time thinking that it was somehow be healthier for me. I ended up having several medical problems associated with veganism such as demineralization of teeth and bones, causing several of my teeth to break and a broken fifth metatarsal (aka broken foot). On top of all of that I was depressed all the time due to lack of B vitamins. I made the switch to Paleo a week after I started CrossFit. I was pukey and lightheaded all the time and my coach asked me what I eat, I told him I was vegan and he informed me that CrossFit will never get better for me if I don't change my protein source. I did some research and arrived at the fact that a change in my diet may not be too bad for me. I still can't touch raw meat without getting grossed out but I feel better, my foot has rehabbed, I've lost over 20 pounds, I'm so much stronger, and my depression is gone (that could be that winter is over, who knows) so this was obviously the right choice for me. I do know of a couple people who do a Paleo version of veganism and they seem to be thriving, so it really is an individual decision.</p>
