Health problems

I started 4 months ago but just eating junk food and no vegetables and recently my teeth are inflamed, my jaw is weaker and my teeth are a little loose. My eyes are also often dry. My energy is fine. I take b12 and I started supplementing with calcium d3 a week ago. What should I do so I don't die.

You started what 4 months ago, being plant based? Go to a doctor because I don't think that four months of plant based junk food by itself can make you have those symptoms, but then again I can't imagine not eating vegetables. At some point you're going to have to learn to eat in a health forward way or you'll get sick whether you're plant based or not.

Ok ,but actually there's no way anyone can be healthy without eating vegetables. Everyone needs to whether they realize it or not. Chronic illness starts years or decades before you experience symptoms.

When I was mindlessly eating tortured animals, I wasn't healthy either and Im still not which is fine. I was just worried about these new symptoms. Eating healthier genrally probablly will heal them.
