After vegan YouTuber caught eating fish, five diet trends, from keto to Mediterranean
- While veganism is a fast-growing trend, some find a plant-based diet too hard to follow
- Here are five popular diets, including low-sodium and carb-free regimes
A vegan YouTuber known as Rawvana was criticised by internet users recently after she was caught on video eating fish.
The online influencer preaches about her vegan lifestyle and weight loss programmes on the internet, and has more than two million subscribers to her YouTube channel and 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
In response to her critics, the 28-year-old uploaded a 33-minute video on Friday to apologise for breaching the diet she has been promoting.
In the video, Rawvana explained that she had turned vegan six years ago but started incorporating eggs and fish into her diet two months ago because of health problems.
In 2016, her menstrual cycle stopped after she fasted for 25 days, drinking only water. In 2018, she was diagnosed with candida and Sibo (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), an intestinal infection, she says.
“I was starting to feel desperate for my health and looked for a solution last summer. And that’s when I started to open up to the possibility of adding some animal products into my diet,” she says.
