I agree, I don't like to take supplements if they're unnecessary.
I KNOW in my mind and in everything that makes common sense to
me that 80/10/10 is the best way to eat of all the supposed "diets"
written in books.
However, I have a few more questions.
As far as absorption, how do I deal with that? Are there cleanses? Or
fasts? that will clear my system and help with absorption. And how
does stress? or exercise? help with absorption? Do all fruits and
vegetables contain enough B12 to be a sufficient in out requirement
for B12, especially with all the deficient soil in North American farms?
As far as B12 taking 10-15 years to develop, I believe that. I use to
eat like crap since I was born until about a year ago. I'm only 25. But
my question is, if I've been developing this deficiency for so long, why
is it only appearing as a deficiency NOW that I've been eating this way
for 6 months? I'm light headed and dizzy almost every morning these
days. It's truly discouraging.
My boyfriend tells me I should probably wait for a few years until I
move to a warmer climate before attempting 100% raw vegan again. I
understand his concern but I wish I knew how to rebuttal everyone's
attempt to get me to eat some cooked beans and fish again.
