Plant Based/Vegan Diet

I've been reluctantly gluten free for years (genetic) and always had trouble digesting high-fibre veg/legumes. But in the last few years I've had to cut them out completely: no grains, no brassicas, no legumes (including peanuts). They cause such severe pain/gas that they've become frightening.

The vegan model can work for men who have a gut that can tolerate it and don't have food allergies. It's not nutritionally suited 7 days a week for females. But it is quite the 'virtue signal' right now and could be first good to understand what your genetics require. Look into the blood type diet. And even your family history. My sons father is 1/2 Greek and he's discovered the Mediterranean diet seems to work best for him. Meanwhile if I eat as though I'm foraging and fishing on the Scottish coast add the trusted potato and red meat a few times a month, I find I'm alert, my blood pressure and blood sugars don't get too low, I feel healthy and I'm not in pain. 

We're all different and built for different climates/regions. Listen to your body. A 'diet' is not something to force on the self. If you crave chocolate, try 100% and see if you respond in some oddly satisfied way. If you look into the minerals and vitamins of things, you'll notice similarities in things which aren't in the least related. And some which are. You may not crave Brazil nuts if you've had enough eggs. You may not want a potato if you've had enough pineapple juice. Nutrition and biology are interesting to dig into. One particular diet might not be the answer. But it could be a starting point.
