Beef vs Soy/Tofu

I tried vegan for a year....caught walking pneumonia. I went to my ENT and he put me on 10 days of antibiotics by self injection. I came back after 10 days still sick. My ENT was incredulous that I wasn't better. He started questioning about my life...stress level, sleep, etc. Finally got to diet and I proudly responded, vegan! He was shocked! He told me I needed to start eating meat twice a day because my body wasn't processing veg protein or amino acids. I started eating meat, gave myself 10 more days of injections, and got well 😊

I went vegan for 6 months. I ate a lot of food everyday and was very concentrated on getting enough protein. It literally didnt matter. It was like my body couldn't unlock anything in the food. I rapidly lost weight to the point of being smaller than i was in high school. I looked like hell and felt even worst. I eventually got a bad infection that almost killed me, my body had nothing to fight with, the infection got in my blood and eventually in my brain. Now 6 years later i am 100% carnivore. Its all i eat is beef, bacon butter and eggs. My body has never felt better, i lost 35 pounds, but it was water and fat. I continue to gain muscle and am getting stronger everyday in the gym.

Back in the 90s, I followed an octo vegan diet. I only ate eggs once in a while, but I lost muscle mass, and I put on fat. When I went back to eating red meat and eggs every day. I put muscle mass back on and I lost fat. But, I also switch to a keto diet. I took in lots of fat and protein.

There's nothing wrong telling vegans they're wrong. Ethical concerns are often overblown and consumers would often do better to support ethical sources rather than abstinence.

My body is thriving on mostly red meat. Plenty of fats and very low carb.  As we age, we need to take advantage of every nutrient we can absorbed. 58 and trail running g long distances is challenging on the body. Love this way of eating. 🙏
