Yesterday was day eleven of my vegan life and the hardest one. It wasn't hard finding things to eat because I couldn't eat at all! I went through what I can only describe as cold turkey, the last time I felt the same way was when I gave up the hot lava java coffee that got me through my final year at uni.
I felt tired, achy, fluey, had the headache from hell (and I never get headaches) and generally felt wretched. Part way through the day it struck me that I might be having withdrawal symptoms and went to my trusty friend google to see if this could be possible. Indeed it was and many people listed the very same symptoms. Most of the blame seems to lie with the caseomorphines and giving them up is like giving up morphine. From my experience yesterday that seems entirely possible.
Hopefully this will be out of my system soon and I can move on dairy and morphine free!
