I never liked dairy and raw dairy has been a total amazing thing for me. I love reading what everybody does.
I did try the all raw no meat thing (which I guess is similar to vegan, but raw) and I gave it a good long haul too. This was before I knew about WAPF, so if I had known about that I never would have tried it.
I guess the good thing in the long run about the fact that I did do that, is that I can speak from personal experience about it.
I can tell you the theory of the old “all raw” folks on b12, but I don’t buy it...... I can just tell you what they thnk.....
I don’t supplement at all though and never have.

Now that I have mouthed-off, I have to admit that if I were in my teens or twenties, and I hadn't had the health problems I've had, and I hadn't done the research on nutrition that I have, I'd probably be a vegan. In fact, I am sure I would. I get it's appeal.
When I was in my twenties, macrobiotics was the popular diet, that's what I did. Before I did macrobiotics my diet was horrible, huge amounts of sugar; so it was a big improvement.
Last night my friend who eats similar to me, joked that she was a vegan who eats meat. I actually like a lot of vegan food. We avoid dairy. I love dairy, but it makes me feel bad. I had some high hopes for raw dairy, but it still makes me feel bad.

I'm pretty much back on track now and find if I feel hungry it's normally thirst so I find black coffee or green tea gets rid of it.

I do eat load of veggies too but do snack on crisp breads and peanut butter or rice cakes and the odd bar of chocolate, bag of crisps. I'm pretty sure I eat too much in my window but I'm lucky enough that at the moment I'm only trying to maintain my weight as I don't need to lose any and I'm continuing to do that on Fast5.

I'm doing a 25 mile walk tomorrow and the temperature is supposed to be over 30degrees so will have to drink more fluids. I will take a banana or something with me in case I do feel faint and/or weak but hope not to need it.
