It is generally believed that people who do not eat animals aren't as at risk

for calcium deficiency. Especially if they also don't drink soda pop.

 

I get my calcuim and iron from vegetables. I love vegetables, so it's a

win-win situation for me.

 

If you take supplements I would advise continuining to take them until you

learn to balance nutrition and eating habits so you can talk honestly with your

doctor about your " usual diet, " which may be changing until you get into a

routine.
