I am new to this website so forgive me if this question was asked long ago.
I became a vegan in June (I was vegetarian before). In September I started losing a lot of hair. Because I just moved to the Dominican Republic and am under a fair amount of stress I thought that was the cause.. but it continued to the point where I would say I have about 1/3 the amount I did in September! I got my blood tested and all that and all of the results were normal. I am also not under any more stress now than I have been at other times in my life. The only thing I can think of is that it's because I cut out fish and eggs (that was the only major change I made when becoming vegan).

In the past few weeks I have added fish and eggs back into my diet. However, it makes me sad every time I eat it... Other than my hair I think that being vegan has made me the healthiest I have ever been. Not to mention I do not like having to disconnect with my mind/body in order to not feel ill/guilty when I eat eggs and fish.

Oh and I take B12 and iron supplements... along with others, I am actually worried I am over-doing vitamins!! Any advice?! As much as I want to be vegan I do not want to be bald at 27 (and for my wedding).

While I had always eaten flax, I did so along with fish oil. I stopped the fish oil when I went vegan and increased the flax. I added a daily green smoothie for breakfast, instead of my usual oat bran. My PCP told me that I make cholesterol out of carbs, which is why my numbers went up (huh?). I have read some earlier posts alluding to a similar problem, however, the posters mentioned that they had not been on cholesterol medicine when their numbers went up. The good cholesterol went down.
Has anyone else been on cholesterol medicine and had their numbers go up after becoming a vegan?
Also, while I feel better than I have ever felt before, I have been experiencing muscle weakness.  I have been very careful about my protein intake, making sure to get a sufficient amount from many sources. I added some fish and egg whites back into my diet and the muscle weakness went away.
Do some people just need an animal protein source to build/keep muscle mass?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you're all well. As you know, we haven't properly utilized the message board for a long time, mainly due to the advent of Facebook and Twitter as a way to build community and due to my own time restraints.  I just didn't have the time to manage the message board myself and also never had the time to find someone to manage it for me.

Also, I'm completely re-vamping the membership program and my website (www.compassionatecooks.com), which we'll be launching this week (in a soft launch and in a few weeks in a hard launch), which will allow for comments, forwards, shares, posts, etc. In other words, we'll be able to create community all in one place - on my website.

So with all that in mind, this message board becomes superfluous and an unnecessary expense. I don't plan on dismantling it until the new website is up and running, but I wanted to give you a warning and also ask if there's any content on this message board (suggestions/resources, etc.) you'd like to make sure we keep/post on the new website, please let me know.

I'm open to your thoughts and responses, but I do hope you understand. We'll be able to create wonderful things with our new site.

Best, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
