Wow, if she is not eating much of anything, she might be in for some serious

health issues down the road. I would think she would need plenty of green

veggies (for calcium) or a green drink, and some type of protein (either in

shakes or in bars), otherwise where is she getting the necessary protein for

bone and tissue growth (http://www.druckerlabs.com/proteininfo.pdf) or

(www.vegparadise.com/protein.html)

Odwalla bars are good. You might try making a drink with rice or soy milk,

some type of soy protein, some fruit juice and maybe some blueberries or

strawberries thrown in for added nutrition and fiber. Put all in a blender,

pour in a thermos of drink cup, and she can drink it on the way to school, or

keep in a thermos for lunch. I see teens drinking sodas all day and eating

snacks from the machine...certainly that is not healthy, either. How does she

make it through the day without starving?

Check with a nutrionist at the health food store for some ideas, too. I

do research online and have a lot of websites. If you are interested, I will be

glad to email you.

Hey group!

I have a question, I've been a vegetarian for just over a year, and my sister

will hit her one year in December. I was talking to her yesterday, and she

doesn't eat much if anything, and told me she stopped taking her multivitamin

because it has gelatin in it. Im going out with her today to the local

healthfood store to search for vegetarian vitamins (hopefully with iron!), but

are there any suggestions you all have? She is a senior in highschool ( " I dont

eat a lot because I don't have any time " ), so if you know of any really good

protein drinks/health drinks to recommmend, I would be greatful!

 

Thanks,

Amy
