Hello, I'm new. I've been eating mostly plant based for about a year. I lost 12 pounds which was nice. Recently I started being very strict and following the very low fat acne diet that the Nelson girls promote, hoping it would clear my skin. I'm four weeks into that and I'm just feeling discouraged. I don't think my skin is getting any better. I also just don't see any big improvements overall. I didn't have any known health problems to solve. I don't feel like I have any more energy and I'm not sleeping better either. I feel like eating mostly plants is probably a healthier way but it's just hard sometimes. I have to feed a family of 6 people so it can be a challenge to make sure there's enough food for everyone. Plus I do sometimes worry about my growing children. I want them to get the right nutrition of course and there's so much conflicting advice. My husband eats the meals I cook but often asks for just a little meat to go with it. I suppose I'm not trying to make a point. It can just be hard sometimes and I needed to let some emotions out.
Thanks for listening.
