vegeterian
i really want to become a vegetarian because i actually prefer helthy food to meat and burgers and i don't like to think that i'm eating something that once was a part of a living animal. although i would still eat seafood, dairy products and eggs, it would probably cause me to lose weight or not be able to gain weight, and i'm already skinny as it is. so my question's adressed to vegetarians and those who know a lot about nutrition: is it possible to gain weight while being a vegeterian? does it always cause people to lose weight?

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
No, it doesn't! You can still eat sugars and fats and stuff as a veggie so you can still put on weight. It will definately make you healthier (if you eat the right amount of vegetables and fruit and stuff), and may make you lose weight at the start but not enough to really notice. If you get your protein from things like fish and cheese you shouldn't really see much of a change in weight but you will be much for healthy and energetic! You can eat fish and dairy products as a veggie - it just means you are an 'ovo-lacto' (you eat eggs and dairy products) vegetarian.
I've been a veggie for near on five years now so if you ever want any more advice just say!
Blessed Be,

If you're eating healthfully as a vegetarian, you should not have a problem with losing weight or being unable to gain weight. Before giving up meat, though, you'll want to do research.
You can find a lot of stuff on the net, including a site just made for teenage veggie eaters (do a search! can't remember the name!). You'll have to make sure you're getting enough protein, nutrients, etc. That means eating lots of legumes, beans, etc.
Your doctor should be able to give you information as well. While you should be able to maintain your weight, it doesn't mean that you'll be able to maintain your vitamin levels without a little guidance.
Finally, welcome to the world of vegetarianism. There's loads of variety, tasty foods, etc...so enjoy.
