Have any of you gotten dark circles ever since you became vegetarian?

Question

Ever since I became a veggie I've gotten dark circles under my eyes. Has this happened to any of you? Does anyone know why this happens?

Answer 1

Its because u are not getting the nutrients and vitamins that you get from eating meat. You should take a multivitamin tablet to get all you need.

Answer 2

No, I don't have under eye circles. I've been meat free for 11 years, and there is no darkness around my eyes.

Maybe you are not getting enough sleep? Other than that, you could be lacking vitamins. Try drinking plenty of water, mineral water if you can, get lots of sleep, and eat a balanced diet. Consider taking a daily veggie multivitamin & mineral supplement.

In addition to this, get checked out with a doctor. Dark under eye circles can be a sign of an underlying more serious health issue, such as a thyroid problem.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Nope.  Vegan for 5 years.

Answer 4

Nope, I suggest you see your doctor though, and get more sleep.

Answer 5

Nopsies... I'm good :-)

Answer 6

Yes, I have!  I have been a vegetarian for three years now, and I have noticed dark circles under my eyes from time to time.  I notice that the circles are the least when I "protein load", so I'm assuming it has  something to do with not getting as much protein.  Try drinking lots of protein drinks and eating protein bars for a week or two and see if you notice a difference.

Answer 7

Nope.
