Hi Yulia, this is a positive compendium of insightful info on shifting to veganism - thanks so much for sharing ❤️

The B12 Argument
The B12 argument is often used to state why humans were not plant based - why the necessity for supplements? Well you might ask a Gorilla or any other plant-based creature the same. You actually only need micro amounts of it, which can be ingested from soil. It is why I tend not to scrub my organic carrots too much! That said, the problem of course is non-organic farming methods and a high degree of toxicity in soils these days. Personally, I also use non-active B12 yeast flakes - 'inactive' because you don't want active yeast fermenting in the gut.

More on Protein
On the protein side, not everyone can eat or digest beans too well. Other sources are pea protein and hemp powders, grains such as quinoa and millet, plus Tofu is a great substitute, although it is made from soya - so you'll need to be aware of the source. What I'm finding these days in health food stores, are a raft of new snack bar products (with healthy vegan ingredients) that have high protein content, often using pea protein.

I'd caution about the amount of carbohydrates though. It would depend where those carbohydrates are coming from. Eating too much potatoes, bread and pasta, I don't believe is that great for your body. I've been working with shifting the balance more to keto, where the body is trained to burn fat and protein, as opposed to carbs. This I incorporate with bodywork (press-ups, the plank, dips, sit-ups, squats etc) to keep the muscles and joints strong, which is especially important as you're getting older (and also priceless for connecting into deep energetic coherency and groundedness - essential for ejecting intervention, who tend to tether in lower densities). I've found Maca as an essential superfood, providing protein, essential amino acids, and degrees of testosterone, which we all need (male and female) to help retain muscle strength and vitality. It's just one reason I incorporate Maca powder in my diet on a daily basis. Check this article... all about the superfood Maca

The Calcium Question
The calcium question is another interesting one - it is of course a mainstream view that calcium from dairy milk 'strengthens the bones'. Actually, recent studies have declared the reverse to be true. Calcium from dairy products has been shown to be undigestable, weakening bones and depositing undigestable calcium in the joints, thus causing arthritis... here's just one study on that

Brain Fog
I'm convinced that the consumption of animal fats and proteins contributes greatly to brain fog, and many of the so-called 'neurone diseases' these days. I have the firm intuition, that many of these 'food' products actually interupt the brain synapses. Making thought processing much slower and reducing the capacity to interpret higher dimensional info quickly. To be clear, I don't have factual evidence for this. It's more an intuitive feeling to be considered.
