Question 5

who can i contact to plan out a vegetarian diet?

Accepted Answer

Registered Dietitian: Look for local registered dietitians that can help you put together the healthiest meal plan. Please bare in mind that a vegetarian diet excludes vitamin B12 so you will need to get that from other sources. I recommend you consume wild fish like salmon if you are not completely opposed to fish. Otherwise, you will need to take a B12 supplement.

what can a poor vegetarian diet do to your health?

Vegetarians can tend: To reach for more junk food to make up for the foods that they can't have.  Some vitamins, especially b12, can lower because we get B12 primarily through meat.  At 13 Y.O.
