Sources Of Calcium For Vegans
Is a low-fat vegan diet healthy for a teenager?
What would you say if your teenage daughter came to you and told you that she was going to be a vegan?
She has thoroughly researched this on the Internet.
Forbidden:
- No milk, no eggs, no red meat, no fish.
- She will eat no refined starches, and no sugar, honey, or sweeteners.
- She will eat no additives, preservatives, hormones, colorings or other artificial food additives.
What is on her diet:
+ She will eat beans and brown rice instead of animal protein.
+ She will eat whole grain pasta, bread, and other products.
+ She will eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.
+ She will take one vegetable source of fat tablet (minimum).
+ She will take supplements: Calcium, Vitamins, Minerals.
A vegan diet is perfectly healthy.
In this day and age, steering clear of animal products that are pumped full of hormones and antibiotics is not a bad idea. Steering clear of processed foods with artificial sweeteners, unpronounceable ingredients and are full of preservatives, fat and empty calories is not a bad idea either.
It sounds like she knows her stuff. I’d let her go for it and see how she likes it. Just have her pay close attention to how she feels and make sure she lets you know if she sees any drastic changes in energy levels, menstrual activity, etc. (Sometimes those are the first to be affected when starting a vegan diet).
Wishing her the best of luck!
