god please help me posted:

Starting to feel bad, lacking energy and ability to focus, really hungry for protein and meat, feeling bloated and watery due to eating a lot of carbs/vegetables but not enough of protein. I had to admit that my attempt to cut out one of three of the essential macronutrients was not going well, so I went back to eating meat and vegetables primarily, and felt better. I still eat carbs too, no worries. Just not as much as I was when I trying how long I could go without meat. My friends have reported similar experiences. That's why the article talking about a diet of only 3.7% meat substitute strikes me as not feasible for me.

Maybe B12?

Basically, a Vegan diet is not sustainable by just eating food, because there's nothing Vegan that makes B12.
You need fortified products or supplements, quoth the Vegan society.

As far as sustainability goes, afaik an Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian or low-percentage Ominovore diet would feed more people on this planet than everyone going Vegan, but I don't remember the source.
