My sister suggests that I become not vegan for health reasons but I still want to be vegan? What do you suggest? Do you have to be not vegan for your health?
If you want to be vegan it can be done safely and be beneficial for health. But you need to meet all the daily requirements. I suggest the book ‘ the proof is in the plants’ by Simon hill, a nutritionist. It tells you absolutely everything you need to know about vegan nutrition

Following a vegan diet is healthy as long as it’s not full of vegan junk food. No reason to change. I just started eating vegan recently. I previously was on keto, just couldn’t stick to it very well. Going vegan to lower my cholesterol. I eat pretty simply. Spinach fruit smoothies, oatmeal, legumes, potatoes, rice, veggies.

I suggest you do 2 things:
First, take B12 supplement daily. B12 is essential and only comes from animal sources
Second, work with a dietitian who is supportive of your choices but can also help you be healthy while being vegan
That’s what I did when I was vegan. I was super healthy and I was at a very healthy weight.
I got frustrated making 2 separate meals everyday: 1 for me, one for the family. So I decided to just eat what everyone else eats.

I was also vegan for the animals for 6 years.
I stopped being full vegan about 3 years,ago.
I admire and love veganism .
Do as little harm n be as cruelty free as possible.
I even left only place i hax ever frlt at home n more like myself (with x n dogs out countrt ) to become vegan because he told ne to fck off if i become vegan because he doesnt like them.
But I also find it easier to share meal with me man as vegetarian n not strictly vegan.
Im vegetarian now and he is willing to eat vegetarian and he went drom eatingbmeat saily in loads to only few times a week .
I still care but i find it difficult to be full vegan at this point.
Also because tree where we live has a pest infesration.
As a vegan i would have let yhem ve i guess not wanting to harm and essentual oils dont repell them.
But now i think they may need to be removed and possibly killed as quickly as possible and hopefully not suffer.
To protect the tree.
Even organic vegan farmers apparently have to kill invasive animals to protect their crops .
Also if cockroaches or others invade ones home one maybe at some point gas to take action to protect it and not get diseases n discomfort or space invaded etc
Maybe one can pray for them and apolagise to oneself and god godess source Allah whatever one calls ..
