I get stuff sent to me from a weightloss site called Sparkpeople and I instantly

thought about this group and figured that maybe you all would like to check it

out.

Healthy Family Resource: VegetarianNutrition.net

 

Sometimes it can be hard to quickly and easily find accurate information that

you can share with your kids about health, their bodies, eating well and

exercising. However, many reputable organizations offer free health, nutrition

and fitness information to parents and kids. Here's a great website that

everyone in the family can enjoy!

 

www.VegetarianNutrition.net

If you or any of your family members are vegetarian, then this site, from the

American Dietetic Association, should be one of your main sources of

information. Plenty of research shows that well-planned vegetarian diets can

reduce the risk of many lifestyle diseases, including cancer, heart disease,

stroke, and more. Many individuals can reduce these risks by simply replacing a

few meat-based meals per week with plant-based ones.

 

It's not uncommon for children and teens to decide they no longer want to eat

meat or animal products. Rather than forcing your child to eat meat because you

don't understand vegetarianism, this site will help you support your child's

decisions and ensure he's staying healthy and meeting his nutritional needs. You

can purchase articles written by registered dietitians on various topics, such

as transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle, vegan nutrition, and vegetarian

children. One section of the site offers links to several other recommended

sites about vegetarianism.

Thanks, Jenn. I wish I had had this when my daughter, 2nd daughter,

4th child, decided she didn't like meat...she basically did not like to chew

it.

......I was fine with it but I had a hard

time getting enough protein into her. She also did not like most other forms

of protein....and she was so tiny. She weighed about 25 lbs. when she was

almost 3 yrs. old....always at the lowest end of the weight chart and the high

end of the height chart. So, I started making some homemade bread called

NO EXCUSE bread that you make at night and then let it rise in the fridge

from 2 to 24 hours. I would bake it the next morning. There is a variation

in the recipe where you can add other ingredients, soy flour, wheat germ

and powdered milk (I think) and I added eggs...so it has a higher protein

level than regular breads. She loved this bread with peanut butter and honey.

She also loved homemade yogurt and fruit. And to this very day, she is

a naturally thin young woman...she is 5' 6 " and normally weighs about 115 lbs.

And although she is not vegetarian....she still hates to handle, cook or eat

meat,

but she LOVES chocolate!!
