I tried total vegan when I was young adult and got too thin and too weak (didn't know what I was doing). Then I llimited myself to very occasional fish & chicken for many years, eating a lot of eggs and nuts. I finally went totally vegan and don't miss meat at all. Now I can't stomach chicken or fish either. I read a text by a 'master nutritionist' who had devoted his life to its study. He had no particular moral compunctions about eating meat or not, he just noticed it was bad for people. He said our basic physiology was 'fructiferous'--meaning our teeth and jaws are designed for eating fruits and nuts. Studies of recently rediscovered ancient scrolls advise humans to eat fruits-nuts-seeds, period--and not to mix our foods up very much (i.e., eat one kind of fruit/veg at a time) for proper digestion. Recent more scientific studies bear this out. You can reverse aging, eliminate a host of diseases and gain tons more vitality with this kind of diet.
