My doctor/my veggie lifestyle. Please help?!


Question:

My doctor/my veggie lifestyle. Please help?

I went to see my doctor today, and he gave me some pretty bad news. My vegetarian diet is killing me. He said my diet is starving me. I have no calcium left in store, and I'm weakening as I go along. I'm lacking all 12 amino acids, and I'm not doing well at all. My pancreaus, thyroid, and liver are all begining to fail. Well, not fail but weaken. He said that if I didn't stop eating this way, it was going to end badly, so he put me on a new diet. I have to eat meat, but only beef, chicken, and fish, and have to eat lots of fruits, and 2 times more veggies than fruits. I also have to eat minimum 2 eggs a day, and can have no milk or milk products. He's making me drink almond milk, actually. Help me! I have to follow this diet and take bunches of supplements, but he made me eat beef today and it made me sad. What should I do?

Answers:

I agree. See another doctor, or ask for a referral to a nutritionist, but this guy has not a single clue of what he's talking about. You may be deficient, but not brain deficient. And also, no one NEEDS to eat beef. Please see another doctor, and get a second opinion.
