I had bulimia from the age of 12 to 16. when I was 13 I became vegetarian... when I was 14 my parents took me to a nutritionist and I went back to eat meat, as I saw it worked for weight loss,I was ok with eating meat again. But at the age of 19 with more tools in my hands I became vegetarian again....
Now I am 28 and I have to say, being a healthy vegetarian takes a lot of discipline and research.
Soy for instance is terrible for my system, and I don't believe we humans should be eating it as it makes us bloated because we can't digest properly unless it's fermented... I will love to give helpful insights for you as a mom.
