vegan with strong meat cravings!?!?!!!

Question

Anyone else here vegan/vegetarian and having very strong cravings for meat, eggs, and cheese??? I'm struggling, especially since all of the stuff I usually cook is not appetizing AT ALL to me ☹️

Answer

I was vegan when I got pregnant with my second son. I didn't keep track of protein and clearly wasn't getting enough. I wasn't adverse to eating meat so I just added it back to my diet. Years later I went vegan again. After 4 years I started craving meat again so I added it to my diet. I honestly felt guilty at first. I believe God gave us animals to consume as food but my issue is today's standards. If we are going to eat an animal let's at least treat it with dignity beforehand. You could try going vegetarian or flexitarian to see how that works😊

Answer

I read that if you are a vegan, and are craving meat, it could mean you have some sort of deficiency, and aren't getting enough from your diet.

Answer

I was never a meat eater not a vegan tho, but I craved meat so bad during my second trimester. Am in my third now I don't really care for it now.Your body is craving what u need. It will pass tho.

Answer

If you do try mean then try grass fed meats or your local farms depends on area you live in. Plus, they are not treated bad there..

Answer

Craving certain things does NOT mean you should necessarily eat those things. Here's a general guide for what your cravings for oily animal products might be telling you...

Answer

I am vegan and was craving cheese my first trimester. I added it back to my diet and now am vegan again (21 weeks). Meat is even more gross to me now that I'm pregnant. Ultimately, you have to do what makes you feel better (if you are feeling sick). I would recommend cooked leafy greens for iron (spinach, kale and collards).
