I became a vegan about 6 months ago. At first I felt great but now I think I’ve become anemic. I feel extremely exhausted all the time, my immune system seems to be shot and my hairs become really brittle and thin and started falling out in handfuls a few months ago. the only thing I can come up with is that I’m not eating right so I thought I’d ask fellow vegans to see how my diet compares and get pointers on where I can improve. My child can’t have wheat which makes getting the right amount of nutrition even harder for me. Most mornings I made a fruit smoothie with wheat-grass and flax-seed for breakfast. for lunch I usually have a salad with beans and veggies and a vinaigrette dressing. for dinner I’ll either make some tofu, tempeh, beans, or veggie soup. I usually make rice or quinoa with them and some veggies.. usually broccoli, kale, or carrots. for snacks I’ll have some silk yogurt, wheat-free pretzels, or dried cranberries. does this sound like a bad diet? if anyone has lost hair because of a nutritional problem how long till it stopped falling out and started growing back ?I mainly drink juice and rice milk.I’ve gained weight as well. a few months ago I started jogging every morning (2-4 miles) but haven’t been able to even lose a pound.
