New Vegan

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm experimenting with a vegan and gluten-free diet and I'm finding

that my body is having some strange reactions. Now when I eat a meal

I can feel a strong burts of energy. When I lie down for bed I can

feel the energy buzzing around my body, instead of a big lump in my

gut. I have noticed that over the last week my body is changing -

feeling thinner and taller. My friend's even commented on how I had

" grown " (they didn't know about my new food habits). But my concern

is that at the beginning my muscles felt stronger and great...like

after I ate a good meal it felt like I just finished working out at

the gym. I still feel that way - a bit - but my muscles feel like

they are getting a little weaker now...and I seem to get kind of dizzy

before I eat a meal. I don't know if I am not getting enough calories

or if I am not eating frequently enough...or maybe I'm missing stuff

from my diet. I'm not totally sure...but I suspect it's that I just

haven't eaten enough...so in the mean time I am actually making

sure I get enough of what I need by eating _some_ animal

products every few days...I guess I should start off by eating a

lot to see if that helps. anyone else experience anything along these

lines or any ideas?
