- Take B12, if you need it- There’s a good chance your vitamin B12 levels are low if you avoid meat and animal products because the only foods that contain it are meat, dairy, eggs, and other animal-based foods. Low B12 can cause anemia, weakness, and fatigue and taking a supplement in the morning can increase your energy.
