I was constantly hungry even though I was eating over 4000 calories a day sometimes, and I never felt full, and definitely one of my biggest concerns and hardest parts about being vegan was getting enough quality protein and nutrients,” the YouTuber confessed. Shuck depended on tofu, beans, and rice during his vegan journey. 

I felt bloated all the time had terrible digestion and was farting non-stop. Real talk, one night my girlfriend threatened to break up with me because my gas was so bad,” the fitness influencer narrated his sad plight. Shuck also complained of gaining fat, brain fog, and low libido due to the new diet. So, he had to quit his vegan journey on the 30th day. However, celebrities like Serena Williams and Jennifer Lopez credited vegan diets for their fitness.
