Yeah veganism is pretty good, my only problem with veganism, as i said in steemit chat, is the amount of protein, vitamin b12 and iron, i workout a lot and being vegan is almost impossible for me because i run into those problems, i tried for 1 year, i ate 500g of spinach a day just trying to get iron in me, only to realize the iron from plant sources is not that well absorbed i was getting anemic and had to take a iron supplement
I love trying to fix whatever problem have with food, sometimes i need to take medicine of course, but i always try to fix the problem with food, i've stopped drinking milk, i do however eat fat-free light greek yogurt and whey protein, i think it has almost 0 lactose.
Only had IBS 1 time, or at least i think it was IBS, and it was my own damn fault, wanted to try a thermogenic, only took it for 2 days, that damn thing had capsacin in it (the stuff that makes hot sauce hot), never trying that stuff again
Thanks for reading, and stay away from that cheese and eat your vegetables xD

nods I am vegan for ethical reasons as the industry is killing our planet, animals and people and I just can be part of that. You can get more than enough protein and Iron on a plant based diet if you know what to eat. B12 is trickier, however 40% of the world population is vitamin B12 deficient and only 1% of the world population is plant based so many have to take supplements anyway. Some people have genetic issues and cannot absorb certain vitamins or minerals well so they need to supplement no matter what diet. I for example have issues with vitamin D and B12 absorption so I take multivitamins and get a regular B12 shot. there are several vegan body builders and strongmen. Wold Champion Patrik Baboumian for example but they eat totally different then most plant based folk. Brian Turner has some good videos on that as well.
