Can you live off of meal replacement powders, or would it killl you?!


Question:

Can you live off of meal replacement powders, or would it killl you?

I can't bare to eat meat, eggs, dairy or fish, It all seems so unclean, and I get sick thinking about it. I don't mind honey but It tastes gross/dirty to me so I'd rather not eat it.. I'm getting really frustrated with my food options, there's not much that I can get at the grocery store, I'm so fed up, does any one know of a good meal replacer.

Are those powders healthy, if I only ate those instead of food, would I get enough calories?

Everytime I ask about ingredients at a store or restaurant people look at me like i'm insane. I'd rather be done with food and just eat vitamins and calories capsules.


Answers:
Those powders largely come from the very animals you don't want to eat! I'd suggest you use the link below to investigate decent vegan dietary choices!

If you tried to only live off those powders you'd rapidly end up in hospital! They're way out of whack as far as nutritional balance goes and at a minimum you'd end up in ketosis.

If you'd like feel free to shoot email to me and we can discuss options for your survival!

Vegetarians do not eat fish. A fish eater is a Piscivore. Spread the correct word!

You can live off of anything for a while but NO, it would not be healthful at all. Your body NEEDS food and the nutrition that foods supply. Food supplies vitamins and minerals and nutrients to you in a different way than vitamins and nutrient capsules can. People in stores and restaurants are not schooled on how to explain the ingredients to you that are in the foods they sell so it is up to you to research it before you buy it. You obviously have a computer so you have the biggest and best research tool available. It sounds like you have an eating disorder and that you need help.You feel sick when you think about meat, eggs, dairy or fish...this isn't normal and is obviously blowing into a major problem. PLEASE go get help now before you become so far gone into your thoughts about food that help is too late. PLEASE go to your doctor or find a doctor, any medical doctor, and tell him/her what you feel about food. Ask the questions you asked here. They will help you. PLEASE!

Good Luck

Have you tried tofu. I am sure you have - ok silly question. But you can eat it hot cold, fried baked, barbaqued or even uncooked. That is a great food that can sustain you alot better. We need to eat solid foods You can only be on a liquid diet for 3 days.

I knoew how you feel. I am not nearly a good veg as you but sometimes I just dont want anything but have to eat,
