Woman Switches Strict Vegan Diet For ‘Animal Only’ And Reveals The Changes In Her Body

A former raw vegan has talked about how adopting the contentious carnivore diet helped her health.

Those who follow the carnivore eating plan typically substitute fish, meat, eggs, and water for vegetables, fruits, and other carbs in their diet.

According to Harvard Health Publishing’s Howard E. LeWine, MD, the diet can increase cholesterol and increase the risk of impaired renal function because it eliminates the majority of plant-based meals.

Nonetheless, there are certain health advantages to the strict diet, such as the ability to enhance blood sugar regulation and maybe kick-start a weight-loss regimen.

Nevertheless, it is not advised.

One woman, Laura Sliazaite, a former strict raw vegan who had trouble with bleeding gums and joint discomfort, says she has felt changes.

The 39-year-old acknowledged, prior to 2014, that, after going 13 years without eating meat, she experienced low vitamin levels and itchy skin.

Sliazaite, a self-described food “obsessive,” was curious as to whether her diet was the cause of her issues.

She then started adding different food groups back into her diet, starting with dairy and eggs and working her way up to fish and meat.

Sliazaite then set a goal for herself to follow a carnivorous diet for a whole month.

The IT professional told What’s The Jam about the initial stages of her experiment: “After the first of the 30 days, I started feeling so amazing, full of energy, and my digestion was better.”

“I decided to do 100 days, and by the time that had finished, I knew this was going to be my lifestyle.”

When Sliazaite first started following a carnivorous diet, she says her coworkers made fun of her because she would eat “a lot of butter and a lot of meat.”

She added: “I get a lot of bad comments on Instagram saying I will soon be dead, I will clog my arteries, I will die from a heart attack, and that I’m ruining my digestion.”

Sliazaite hasn’t let the trolls stop her from sticking to the controversial diet, though, mostly because of its ongoing “health benefits.”

“I feel the carnivore diet changed something in my brain,” she explained.

“My sleeping issues completely disappeared, so now I touch the pillow and I am out, and I wake up before my alarm – whereas before I would barely sleep three hours a night.”

“I had eczema and body itchiness my entire life, sometimes so bad it felt like my body was on fire – this has disappeared.”

The Londoner went on to say that her digestion problems have “gone” and that her “body shape has improved” after giving up veggies.

She said: “My hair has never been more shiny, and even my eyesight has improved.”

“My energy is always stable now – I don’t have the dips where I need a snack or get coffee.”

What’s interesting is that Sliazaite also says that giving up a raw vegan diet has improved her bank account.

She claimed that she used to regularly spend £100 ($130) a week on nuts, berries, and greens before she started eating meat.

“Before starting the carnivore diet I thought it’s going to be quite expensive, but I spend way less money now,” Sliazaite revealed.

“I do my grocery shopping once or twice a week and I get lots of steaks, lots of beef mince, organic eggs, some cheese and double cream for my coffee.”

She continued by saying that her weekly supermarket purchase now costs between £50 ($64) and £70 ($90).
