Vegetarian Diets |
|
There are 3 types of vegetarian diets: 1. Lacto-ovo vegetarian: A person who does not eat animal-based foods, except dairy and eggs. 2. Lacto vegetarian: A person who does not eat animal-based foods, except dairy. 3. Vegan: A person who does not eat any animal-based foods. Nutrition-wise, we feel vegetarianism is not ideal. The problem is that almost all vegetarian diets miss some essential nutrients, like: - Iron (only in red meat) - Vitamin B 12 (only in animal foods) - Vitamin D (found in milk with added vitamin D) - Calcium (found in milk & dairy products) - Zinc (plants poorly absorb zinc) - Creatine (only in red meat) Since some nutrients are found only in animal-based foods, eliminating them from your diet puts you at risk of a shortage. Vegetarians (especially vegans) must be cautious and make sure they get all these nutrients from non-animal foods. In short, it's a choice that must be carefully thought and planned. ACTION STEP 22 Consult The Vegetarian Resource Group if you're considering vegetarianism.
