Question 1

i've been vegetarian for a year. a restaurant put beef in a dish they said was "vegan crumbles found out after profuse vomiting. why did i vomit so?

Accepted Answer

Physical and mental: your body could have become so unaccustomed to meat that it reacted and your discovery of having eaten meat could have so rattled you that the vomiting was a stress response

Question 2

some restaurants are serving sweet potato fries instead of regular french fries. how do their nutritional values compare?

Accepted Answer

Processed food - meh: Doubtful if fresh cut. Processed food is all about additives and salt. Both potatoes and sweets have nutrients. Balanced diet is key. Don't make a habit of all brown meals.

Question 3

can people usually ask for the nutrition facts when they go to fast food restaurants when they ask for the menus?

Accepted Answer

Not so much: When going to "fast food" restaurants, people are often in too much of a hurry to ask about nutrition facts before buying and gobbling.  More and more such restaurants are posting this information, though -- so you can look it up online before going.  In some cases it's right on each item on the menu when you get there.

Question 4

i am a very nutrition/health-conscious vegan, but i constantly find myself feeling drained and fatigue through out the day. how can i help myself?

Accepted Answer

If you are not: eating properly you will fell fatigue.  Please start by seeing your doctor.  After that a nutritionist can be helpful.  Spectracell lab in Texas has a great nutritional lab test.  Peace and good health.

Question 5

i've changed my diet recently to a vegan diet. but have been getting uncomfortable bloating . what foods should i avoid? how do i know what's the best diet for me?

nutrition

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A person who often has tummy bloating is not normal, especially if bloating is new. A doctor can find the cause and start treatment. Problems can be due to constipation or eating things the person cannot digest, such as excessive amounts of fiber. More serious causes of bloating include a build-up of fluid in the abdomen due to kidney disease, liver problems, heart failure, abdominal cancers, etc.

Question 6

should companies that sell alcoholic beverages be required to provide nutritional information?

Accepted Answer

No nutritional info: There is no signficant nutritional value in drinking alcohol--only empty calories. Nutritional labels are designed to help people make informed food choices. Be smart, eat healthy, and limit alcohol consumption (see earlier healthtap responses regarding responsible alcohol ingestion).

Question 7

what are healthy options for my kids on kids restaurant menus?

Accepted Answer

Non-fried foods: Restaurant foods are often not made to be healthy but are made to taste good so customers will return.  That means restaurant foods will have more oil, more salt, or more sugar than home-made foods.  Grilled chicken breast is good, but usually the menu item is fried chicken strips.  Spaghetti with red sauce is ok, unless the sauce is too oily.  A hamburger without mayo; with steamed veggies is ok.

Question 8

Accepted Answer
