I'm a very unhealthy eater... What will it do to me?

Question

Well, I eat very unhealthily. For lunch I have things like candy. I am a vegetarian, so I can't get protein and nutrients that I need. I can't see what I am doing to myself. What will happen to me overtime? Any suggestions in healthy, good tasting food?

Answer 1

Why are you a vegetarian for health or morals? If it's for health start eating lean chicken, tuna, and turkey. If you are going to stick with being a vegetarian DRINK Soy protein shakes whey is better, but that may not be vegetarian. Also beans, peanut butter, and nuts are good sources of protein. Try Peanut butter on rice cakes for a quick snack (Get organic or All Natural peanut butter Jiff and Skippy have hydrogenated oils that can clog arteries)

Eating unhealthy can cause diabetes, bad skin, weak immune systems, liver problems, and even an early death. Just eat healthy you'll feel better and look better that creates less stress and we all know the negative effect of stress.

LET ME NOTE Protein helps build and maintain muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat and makes you look nice and toned. (Don't be afraid that your a girl and will get huge with muscles b/c you don't have the hormones to do so and the women that do are obviously taking supplements to get these results.) YOU NEED PROTEIN! Also carbs are important BUT not from candy grab an apple and put some organic peanut butter or try some Kashi cereal.

Answer 2

Alot of grocery stores are beginning to carry products for vegetarians that have alot of protien. There are several yummy easy to cook meals that are VERY low cal. I can't remember who makes it, but there is this one, it has red beans and red, green, and yellow peppers that you can put over rice. Any kind of beans and nuts will give you protien and you can also take fish oil pills. Also make sure to take a vitamin daily. Just doing this aids in weight loss. If you keep eating unhealty you will end up getting overweight. A vegetarian diet is pretty healty, so as long as you are getting the nutrition that you need and eating more things like vegetables instead of candy you will be fine. You can still have candy every now and then, just not for a meal.

Answer 3

any vegetarian can still get protein. You didn't say if you were diabetic or if you have risk factors. I think maybe you should see a dietitian. You can still eat beans, there are lots of alternatives you can eat to get needed nutrients and protein.

Answer 4

Over time, you might suddenly die. So watch your nutrient intake. But seriously, it's not that bad. I've heard legumes are good. So are vitamins. Some people like spinach and stuff like that, depending on how it is prepared.

Answer 5

over time you will probably end up with all kinds of medical issues.... although you are a vegetarian there are still ways to get all your nutrients..... eat a variety of fruits and veggies and nuts

Answer 6

Talk to a doctor. They should respect your life choices. They can and will recommend a safe vegan diet if you bring this up. It normally includes a lot of soy in addition to other beans.
