    My doctor told me that vegetarian diets can cause muscle loss and diabetes. He told me the best thing to do is have a glass of milk with every meal. He said the most important thing to health and dieting is to look at the color of your feces. I know it sounds gross, but it's true. If it's not dark brown with a yellowish hue you are in trouble....BIG trouble. The water should also be fizzy when you are done. It sounds strange but that is what he said and that's what I'm planning to stick with. Best of luck
    Are you sure you heard him correctly? I get why people might be concerned about protein and iron, but causing diabetes?

    Vegetarian diets can be as healthy or healthier than ones with meat. Vegans should get B-12 supplements, regular vegetarians can get everything they need from their food. All of us should keep an eye on our food and vegetarians are no different.

    In this day and age, it isn't hard to find info on complementary proteins and such, if you look for it. It's easier than ever to be healthy vegetarian. :)

    You should, of course, do what your doctor tells you to do. But I'd double-check on what he told you. It's possible that you misheard him or he phrased it poorly. It happens. :)

    My body frackin' knows the difference inbtween filet mignon and a bowl of kale.

    In terms of macros, yes.
    And sure, I was being overly simplistic, as there are more factors than I care to go into. Most of which are not directly relevant in relation to the OP's question.

    He want to loose weight. That means more calories out than in. There are calories in both meat and not non-meat based food.
