Last year I went back to being vegan and I dropped 25 pounds. I felt better and I had more energy. At Thanksgiving, my husband and I decided we were going to try and have a baby. After reading numerous books that essentially blasted begin vegan and pregnant, I stopped eating vegan. Within a couple of months I was pregnant and within two months we lost the baby. I gained 15 of the 25 pounds back and I felt miserable. I was not prepared for dealing with the loss. I figured I would be pregnant again soon and I kept hoping and waiting and mourning each month I was not pregnant again.
In addition to the loss, I didn't feel good constantly. I'm constantly getting sick. I started working with a nutritionist recently and it has changed my life. I feel the way I did last year when I went vegan and I'm steadily losing weight every day.
