Hi all,

I am trying to go vegan since quite some time. But this is harder for me then first thought.

I am looking for any advice and maybe some had the same hurdles and can give some tips and tricks.

There are two major issues for me currently:

  • I am on the spectrum. Major changes cause me stress.
  • I have to control my B12 input for medical reasons.

The last one is complicated bit I am certain there are good guides out there, maybe someone has one?

The first one on the other side seems unsolvable to me. While I am down to one non-vegan meal in a week, replacing the last one leads into the stress cycle again.

I also tried replacing my stress snacks, for example mixing them with other snacks, and “phase them out”, it did not work till now.

So, either I have to find a way to replace my snacks, or get rid of the last non-vegan meal.

Any advice is welcome, giving up is not an option.

Loki

    I have thalassemia and I get b12 injections once a month regardless of what diet I follow. For almost everyone else taking pretty much any b12 pill every other day is fine. Not just vegans should be supplementing b12, it is extremely common to be b12 deficient on a standard western diet.
