Former vegan here. Being vegan makes you less sharp, anxious, and it makes it harder for you to process foods. (https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200127-how-a-vegan-diet-could-affect-your-intelligence). I also got really fat as a vegan and my husband was utterly emaciated by it. My husband also developed horrible IBS and we both had problems remaining calm and regulating our emotions - probably because we were so nutrient starved. (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-41158365?piano-modal).
A friend of mine who was always slim became a vegan and last time I saw her, she had put on weight.
It shocked me because she was always very fit and slim.
She did say that it's hard to get enough protein and I think you end up eating more carbs.
