Nigella 'needed eggs, suddenly': 5 mistakes people make when attempting a vegan diet

Veganism is on the rise but if you want to last a bit longer than Nigella Lawson’s two weeks there are certain mistakes to watch out for

Nigella Lawson has admitted she felt “very run down” after trying veganism, only lasting two weeks on a plant-based diet.

The 61-year-old TV cook told The Sunday Times: “I couldn’t be vegan, though I do love vegetables. I don’t see the point. I’m very happy to not eat so much meat, but I do love it.” After her stint going vegan, Lawson says she felt she “needed eggs, suddenly” – perhaps a sign her diet was lacking in vitamin B12, or she just hadn’t quite mastered vegan baking yet.
