about

My name is Laura and I'm 28 years old. I live in Illinois and work as a licensed veterinary technician. I am a runner, bookworm and obviously, an animal lover.


I've been on this site since '05. I take hiatuses, but I'm never gone for good. I enjoy giving advice and I've made such lovely friends on this site that I couldn't imagine giving it up!

advice

my best friend is a vegetarian and she really doesn't eat much besides salad, fruit and macaroni and cheese. she does complain about feeling week sometime and she gets sick a lot! i know she needs protein but she refuses to eat anything with protein in it. what can i do? im nervous for her health!

She can't eat anything with protein? I'm sorry, but your friend is an idiot.


Being a vegetarian means you don't eat MEAT. You HAVE to eat protein to stay healthy. No wonder she's weak! It's right for you to be nervous, because it's dangerous to not eat any protein. There are plenty of other food with protein in at that aren't mean:


only search advicenators.com



Talk to her parents, because she can't refuse to eat protein. She's going to develop a vitamin deficiency or something (I know this, because I did when I was a vegetarian).

EDIT: Peanut butter, or peanuts in general. Eggs, dairy, seeds of some sort.
