I Want to Become a Vegetarian

Lately my colon and digestive system has been really messed up I don't even want to eat anything anymore.. So I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian though I rarely eat meat, I eat chicken and fish cuz meat is bad for me anyways due to my health problems and I don't like it so I don't mind not eating it. Actually right now I don't mind not eating at all but that's not possible, I'm so tired of the constipation and all the shit that's been happening to my digestive system.

Make sure your body gets enough protein or you'll waste away your muscles are made of protein. Have protein shakes if you don't want to eat meat

@Summersrain that's exactly my major health problem, I have muscular dystrophy so my body doesn't even accept protien from meat, however I'm planning to eat fish once a week.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether you need protein every day

Is bread and eggs considered enough?

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether you'd need to at at least 6 eggs a day if not more to get enough protein, and that's if you are not exercising. And eggs are pretty high in cholesterol. I would advise you to buy some protein powder and mix up 3 shakes a day

If you don't get enough protein you will find you are low in energy and your muscles will waste

I'll ask a doctor and if it's not harmful for me I'll try it

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether good idea. I'm glad.
