Question:

How healthy is a vegetarian diet? What supplements do vegetarians need? How do I improve my appetite for healthy foods? – Betty

Answer:

Dear Betty, The most common challenge with a vegetarian diet especially in blood type O (meat eaters) individuals in the risk of falling short in vitamins B12, Iron, and Protein. A protein shake can offer a foundation of protein to help ensure that sufficient quality and quantity is consumed. Eating a wide variety of organic vegetables, beans, nuts, and fruit that correspond with your blood type as well as healthy fats and fiber (such as chia seeds) with each meal will regulate your blood sugar and appetite. Take a food-sourced multi-vitamin and continue to eat organic healthy foods. Your body may feel so much better that eventually you will gravitate to these foods.
