19. My ancestors came from the North -- countries in which vegetables barely grew

Jun 2018

if at all in the winter.

I tried a vegetarian diet when I was young and became very weak.

I think that what you need to eat may depend on your DNA and where your ancestors lived including what they ate. Just a theory, but my experience with a vegetarian diet, much as I love vegetables and fruits, was really bad.

On the other hand, I don't eat anything with gluten in it. Really bad for me.
