Medi-Studies info for Vegetarians and Vegans

Does it make the person weaker without eating meats?

It all depends on the particular diet. If the vegetarian/vegan does not replace the meat with other sources of protein (nuts, certain veggies, etc) then that person will feel drained and not receive the proper amount of nutrition needed.

Here are some common mistakes vegetarians make…

•Eating usual meals minus meat. Just opting out of meat will lead to a diet low in protein, iron and zinc. So instead, you need to swap in plant proteins, such as beans and legumes, that can provide the essential nutrients and help keep hunger at bay.

•No-veggie vegetarian. This mistake is also known as the ‘beige diet,’ with a focus on dull-colored carbohydrate foods such as bread, pasta, rice. Each meal and snack should have colorful, disease-fighting produce to get optimal health benefits and to keep calories in check.

•Faux-meat fixation. You know you are guilty of this if you look in your fridge and see too many veggie burgers, ‘chicken’ nuggets and veggie lunch meats. These are fine in a pinch, but indulging regularly in these veggie conveniences results in too much processed food that is too high in sodium.

•Vegan health halo. The word "vegan" or "vegetarian" on a package is not a synonym for healthy. Even if a cookie, cake or fries are veggie-friendly, these are still junk foods that should be enjoyed in moderation, she says.

•Cheeseaholic. Some vegetarians rely only on cheese to get protein, eating foods such as cheese sandwiches, cheese on pasta and cheese and crackers for a snack. Overdoing it on cheese ends up being too high in calories and saturated fat.
