Day 3 of veganland stinks. I dont know if its just adjusting or a serious lack of substance, but I am getting headaches and too tired to go work out or stay awake past 830pm every night. I get 10 hours of sleep and still wake up tired. today I am bringing an extra 4pm snack of beans and tortilla... hopefully the protein will boost my energy level for tae kwon do.

Update: beans did not stay with me long. I am hungry every hour. And still getting headaches. Luckily Excedrin helped today, and I talked with the vegan girl at work about it. She said she felt horrible for the first few months- but taking an omega 3 supplement helps. And eating peanut butter. I am going to make some vegan protein bars this weekend... hopefully that will help too :)

Any time you change your diet, it will effect your body in different ways. When becoming a vegetarian, it's important to do research to make sure you get enough protein in your diet. You can get it from many different sources: Yogurt, cheese, beans, soy products,whey protein powder (put in smoothies, oatmeal, pancakes,etc.). Taking a vitamin supplement is also a good ides. You need to get iron from veggies like spinach. Good luck!
