Most people think vegans and vegetarians need to worry about protein. In reality, a healthy vegan/vegetarian who eats plenty of fruits, vegetables legumes (beans, peas, etc.), and whole grains, gets plenty of protein. What we do need to be concerned about is getting enough vitamin B12, iron, and omega 3. To make sure you're getting plenty of these, eat fortified foods (like cereals), take vitamins/supplements (like a decent multivitamin), and be sure to eat foods and oils (like olive oil, canola oil, and especially flaxseeds or flaxseed oil) that are high in essential fatty acids.

What nutrients do you need to worry about if you become a vegetarian?

Sufficient protein. But if you eat beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds, you should be okay. Non-vegan vegetarians may eat eggs and dairy products, too, which contain a lot of protein.

What other nutrients do you need to worry about when you become a vegetarian?

The main nutrient to worry about is Vitamin B12. There is essentially no B12 in most plant sources. Some contain compounds that are similar enough to fool the standard test for B12, but which cannot be absorbed by humans... the UK Vegan Society reports that the consensus is that B12 from plant sources in the diet is effectively unavailable. B12 is normally produced by intestinal bacteria, and can be produced in bacterial fermenters, so it's possible to get B12 supplements from wholly vegan sources, and some vegan/vegetarian products deliberately add B12 as a supplement. You want to make sure the ingredients listing specifically mentions it rather than relying on the "nutritional information" panel. In particular, it is sometimes claimed that a type of seaweed called laver and barley grass contain B12, but direct studies have shown that this is insufficient to prevent B12 deficiencies.


I can't stop my German Shepherd from eating her poo she eats it all the time?

Unfortunately, animals eat their waste when they are lacking some nutrients. I would say you should contact you vet to see what you can add to the food or buy new food with the proper nutrients your dog needs. An animal will eat its waste to receive the nutrients it is lacking. By adding some nutrients or buying food with new nutrients, you can stop the animal from eating their waste, and you will not have to worry. You should not worry, but I would still contact your vet.


Vegetarian Diet Plan - The Healthy Choice?

A vegetarian diet plan is a great choice simply because it's vegetarian. Has anyone ever heard of an unhealthy vegetable? One of the great things about a vegetarian diet plan is that you can stay full and not worry about the calories. Just limit the starchy vegetables like potatoes, and eat all the green leafy vegetables you can handle. One thing you want to make sure of is to get some protein with your a vegetarian diet plan, so include some beans or lentils. Eat your way into a slimmer you with a a vegetarian diet plan.

If you make a worry doll won't it become angry with you for giving it your troubles?

No it will not. A Worry Doll has no feeling, no heart, no soul. It cannot see, hear, think, love or hate. It is just as any other doll, a plaything. It is not a play thing, you give it your worries and you no longer worry about it. I have some, they work.
