Do Vegans Get Sick

I don’t wanna get sick from being vegan!!?

ok so I know I’ve asked several questions today but you guys are really helpful! I just started being vegan, and my mom said my hair will fall out and I won’t grow if I don’t get the right amount of protein a day (which I will get from other things like beans and stuff.) so do you know the right protein servings for 13-14 year old girls, and which foods contain A LOT of protein!

No offense to your mother, but she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
You need to do your own research, and then you can educate her as well.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has a Vegetarian Starter Kit which should answer most of the nutrition questions (including the myths about protein)-

And VegSource is a great site for information and expert advice-

It’s actually difficult NOT to get enough protein, since amino acids (the building blocks of protein) are in every natural food, and are made by your body from the recycling of old tissues.
Protein deficiency (also called “kwashiorkor”) is generally only seen in areas suffering from famine. If you consume enough calories, chances are you’re getting plenty of protein.
