Question:

Is it bad for a 14 year old to vegetarian?

I haven't eaten meat for about 3 years. I get a semi- balenced diet. I eat alot of fruit and veggies and beans. My sister is lactose intolerant so we almost never have dairy in the house.

Answers:

Vegetarian or not. That does not make any difference. The eating regulations are same for everyone. Eat a balanced diet (avoid deficiencies) and limit sugars and saturated and trans fats. Vegetarians tend to lack some nutrients like Vitamin B12, Protein, Omega 3 and Vitamin D. So just eat more varied proteins like beans, pulses, legumes, nuts, soy products. Make a spoonful of flaxseed a must everyday for your Omega 3 or try walnuts. Eat more low fat or non fat dairy products for your D and B12.
