Q: Does yogurt contain alot of vitamin B12 and folic acid?
I’m seeking clarity on the issue either yogurt is low in B12 and folic acid or because it’s fermented it lowers the assimilation of vitamin B12 and/or folic acid.

Does anyone have a link to clarify this issue?

Thanks

Q: Am I getting enough B12?
I’ve been veggie for about a month. I’m also lactose-intolerant, so can’t have milk, soft cheese, butter, not much yogurt etc. Hard cheese I do eat and I eat a few eggs, but not many, probably about 6 a month. The soya spread I buy is fortified with it, I eat marmite, Sosmix is fortified with it… do I need to supplement?

A: I would recommend a multi-vitamin that has low mg of everything in it, just for insurance. Swanson Vitamins has a good one called Active One (with & w/o iron). They also carry TwinLab’s Daily One, another good one.

Q: Vegans is unhealthy because its missing some vital nutrients like B12. And pills and fortifieds are not FOOD!?
I’m not saying you should eat meat frequently, but occasionally
like me, especially seafood. Also yogurt is a SUPERFOOD, so go and figure.

A: you already posted this nonsense yesterday and many people responsed proving you wrong. time to accept the truth that you’re mistaken and move on.
once again, this is not a question.
and no we don’t need meat in order to survive.
B12 can be found in other foods besides meat.

and didn’t you say that you’re a “semi-vegetarian” meanwhile there is no such thing.
do some research because it looks like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Q: What happen when you consume all your calories for the day at dinner?
I have been dieting for the last two months and have already lost 15 pounds. I usually just eat small meals and drink a lot of water but I’m a college student so sometimes it’s kind of hard to sneak in several meals because I’m so busy. I don’t have time for the gym, so sometimes I just eat a single thing of yogurt and drink a protein shake to help retain some muscle. Everyday I take a multi-vitamin and a B12 vitamin.

Today I only ate dinner and consumed like 800 calories at once. How bad is this? I pretty much fasted for the entire day and just ate a bunch all at once. I still didn’t consume very many calories though. Will my body store all the fat?

A: Your body might not store all of the fat, but it will probably store a lot of it.

When you fast all day, your body puts itself into starvation mode, because it doesn’t know when it’s going to get to eat again. It then stores away as much as it can, and your metabolism begins to slow down.

If you keep up that habit, which as a student myself I know is easy to do, your metabolism will slow down a lot, and you will gain weight, even if you’re only eating 1000 calories a day. Whereas, if you eat 2000 calories a day, but you’re eating throughout the day, say every 2 or 3 hours, your body will realize it’s getting fed more than enough, and your metabolism will increase to work off the excess – and in turn your body will store less fat.

Q: What happens if you have too much of one type of vitamin?
For example, today I had a lot of B12. In the morning I took a multi vitamin which had 100% of B12, then later I had a Monster energy drink which had 200%, and right now I had a yogurt that had 10%. So in total, I had 310 % of B12. Will anything bad happen?

A: If you take too much B12, you will lose what you don’t need through urinating. The only vitamins that can be dangerous to mega-dose on are A, D, E and K. Those four vitamins are fat soluble, and do not leave your body when you take a mega-dose. So, you are safe.

Q: Vitamin D & B12?
Ok. I have a simple question.

Is vitamin D and B12 fattening?
I got some blood test done and it said I don’t have enough B12 and vitamin D.
I already have the pills (supplements) but…I don’t want them to make me fat.
I don’t usually have milk, cheese, or any other dairy product except for yogurt…
I eat low-fat stuff.

I do not want this to make me gain weight.
I have some problems with my sugar (no I’m not diabetic). If I have too much I’ll gain weight and it’s just bad for me.

So I try to not have a lot of sugar and I stick to chicken & salad a lot. I eat very little. -.- Don’t tell me to eat more, I’ll gain like 60 pounds if I eat like 7 times a day (including snaking). I eat 3 times a day; breakfast (small something), dinner, snack.
Sometimes I have stuff in between but yeah.

Do those vitamins make you gain weight? I gained like 2 pounds ever since I started taking them.
I do not like them at all. Can I live without them? And just have more foods that are HEALTHY?
x.x Help
I want answers as soon as possible. I’m very worried and paranoid…
It’s making me very upset.
I have an ok metabolism, but if I eat too much sugar omg…I’ll gain a lot of weight.
Please help!!
The sun hurts my eyes too much. I don’t go out a lot unless it’s late or in the evening.
I crave sugar a lot…Sometimes I have it a lot and it’s bad, but I want to know if I eat healthy ( and do some simple exercises) will it make me gain more weight?
I don’t want to gain weight form taking supplements.
And the b12….will it make me gain weight?
Can I live without these or am I better off with them?
Nono. No mental issue, I’m just a health freak and I don’t wanna gain weight.

By taking vitamin D, will my skin get darker (I’m very pale).
I don’t really like red meat, it’s eh. I try to have it once in a while but I like my chicken.
Like I said, sunlight hurts my eyes very much and it burns my skin. I don’t like it at all.

I have an endocrinologist and she told me to take these. I’m just afraid I’ll gain weight after loosing it.

I have yogurt a lot, but does that give me enough vitamin D? I don’t like cheese…I only like skim milk…I like icecream but that’s fattening unless it’s low-fat.
Thank you guys. <333
I’m all better now. I gotta exercise more often and keep eating healthy and…have more foods that have B12 and vitamin D.

I asked my science teacher today, so that made me feel better.

Once again, thank you!!

A: You can actually get vitamin D from sunlight.

And no, they don’t make you fat, haha.

The only thing that makes you fat is a sedentary lifestyle. If you exercise often and eat at least decently, you will be in great shape. It’s not so much the foods you eat as how much activity you get that determine your body type.

And you shouldn’t eat unhealthily in fear of gaining weight, again, exercise will eliminate any fat you accumulate from eating.

You should consult a professional about diet and exercise, I’m sure they’ll be able to answer any questions you may have and offer suggestions to help you stay in shape. Good luck!

EDIT: You won’t necessarily lose weight, and exercise is a key ingredient to staying in shape. Gaining weight doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting out of shape, or fat. Exercise + eating good = healthy.

Note: Avoiding certain foods because they have fat content, as said above, can rob you of VERY valuable sources of nutrients. Just exercise and you will be fine, I guarantee it.

There’s a lot of health propaganda out there, but a diet consisting of those things does not provide the nutrients your body needs, which is probably why you’ve been prescribed them.

I’m going out on a limb here, but think about this: have you ever seen a fat animal? Very seldom are animals out of shape, save for when they are pets of humans who do not care for them properly. Wild animals that eat other animals aren’t fat, and just think of how many carbs and fats are in there(By the way, carbs are the 2nd most important nutrient, behind water. Their name has been slandered, however, because there are good carbs and bad carbs)!

How often do you exercise now?

PS: Not to make him the fall guy, but you don’t want to end up like the below poster.
Nerve damage is VERY bad, since nerve cells only reproduce about once in an entire lifetime. This also explains why when someone is paralyzed, their body often doesn’t recover by itself.

Q: I have a condition called pernicious anaemia. since diagnosis i have been having vit b12 injections?
when i started the treatment it was once every 2 weeks now once every 3 months.However i have fainted on maybe 4 or 5 ocassions in the last 2 years. {treatment started aprox 6 months ago} i have a good diet eat fish veg and friuit and meat and yogurt. Early yesterday i had a terrible blackout with no warning {as always} i dont ever remember geting up or passing out, it is only when i come round face down on the floor bleeding profously from my nose and lips i know it has happened again. On this occassion it was the worst my face is badly bruised i think my nose maybe broken and i have cut and swollen lips and my right eye is nearlly closed with severe bruising.Is there any connection with my condition that i am passing out. Can someone plse help i have spoken to my doctor about this but he dosnt give me the answers i really need. I will be so grateful for any help anyone can give me. thank you very much in anticipation. Thank you.Regards Karen

A: I would have gone to the hospital when you came to after a black out. You good be a having a terrible side effect or your potassium could be to low. Black outs are not normal and I am sure you know that. I wouldn’t wait for your doctor to decide what to do. I feel you definitely need to seek medical attention right away if you just had this black out yesterday.

Q: ATTENTION EXPERIENCED VEGANS Am I lacking any nutrients?
I’m a new vegan and want to know if I’m lacking any necessary nutrients, here is a sample daily diet:

Breakfast: 1 cup of fortefied orange juice (contains calcium and vitamin d), 1 packet of plain oatmeal with a tbsp of agave nectar mixed with soy yogurt (with b12) and 2 tbsps of agave nectar

Mid morning snack: a piece of fruit

Lunch: A bean and whole grain rice burrito wrapped in a vegan whole wheat tortilla, OR some whole grain pasta mixed with tomato juice and a veggie burger pattie on the side

Afternoon snack: a small coconut milk icecream sandwhich from the company SOdelicious (to satisfy my sweet tooth so I’m not tempted to eat animal product candies)

Dinner: A salad consisting of romaine lettuce, spinach, tomato, handful of baby carrots with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, and either some fat free lentil soup OR a tbsp of teddy peanut butter (contains flaxseed oil)

How does this sound? Am I lacking any vital nutrients? I don’t want to have to pay hundreds of dollars to ask a nutritionist so I’m on here. I do have a vegan multivitamin, but based on what I eat do you think its necessary for me to take this multivitamin?

THANKS! I know I posted this earlier but I had to make a correction! Thanks!
BEAR IN MIND FOLKS I’M TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT SO IF MY CALORIE INTAKE SEEMS LOW THATS WHY

A: Veggies have very few calories, so adding more veggies won’t increase your calorie intake by much, and may even decrease it! Please add more veggies. Here are some specific, calorie-conscious tips.

First, swap out the packet of oatmeal for real steel cut oats. Just look at the packaging, and make the amount of oats that ends up with the same calories – you’ll feel fuller longer with steel cut oats. To make your morning quicker, you can cook them overnight in a slow cooker or rice cooker. You can even make three days’ worth at once, and keep the leftovers for tomorrow and the next day. Skip the 3T agave nectar in your breakfast. That’s 180 calories, and a lot of sugar! Yes, it is low glycemic impact sugar, but it is still a lot of sugar calories. Get the sweetness you crave with fewer calories and a lot more nutrition by adding a banana and an apple, or a banana and two tablespoons of raisins, or a couple handfuls of fresh berries. Even two cups of berries will have fewer calories than all that agave! Get lots more vitamins and fiber, and reduce calories, while keeping that wonderful sweetness. If you have to have some agave, use just 1 T and definitely still add fruit!

Soy yogurt is okay, or you can substitute a nice dollop of almond butter in your oats or top them with a calorically equivalent amount of toasted sliced almonds or walnuts. The B12 doesn’t naturally occur in the soy yogurt – it’s an added supplement. Just take a separate supplement. In fact, on such a restricted calorie diet, it would be wise to take a B-Complex supplement, just to be safe.

These simple replacements save you a few calories, make you feel a lot fuller a lot longer, and boost your intake of vitamins and fiber.

Next, your midmorning snack is fruit. Fruit is great, but we added some at breakfast. So let’s have some raw veggies instead – carrots, red bell pepper, and celery. A carrot is about 25 calories. A red bell pepper is about 30, and you might eat half of it today and half of it tomorrow. Or half now, and half in your salad later. A celery stalk has 6 calories. So. Eating a bunch of raw veggies at snack time saves you calories and improves the diversity of your diet.

Lunch. I would swap lunch and dinner, and kind of mix them up a bit. You’ll digest a big salad better earlier in the day. Bring a HUGE salad with you to work. Bring a large container with romaine lettuce, baby spinach, raw (or leftover steamed) broccoli, some sprouts, and maybe a few red grapes. Very very few calories so far. Bring another container with a half cup of beans for 120 calories, and a ton of protein. Beans are healthier and far less processed than a veggie patty. (For variety, try sprouted sunflower seeds instead of the beans. Also a good source of protein and minerals!) In a separate container bring a homemade vinaigrette made with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, and dijon mustard. Coat your greens, then top with the beans or seeds. Eat an orange, or some strawberries. The vitamin C helps you absorb the iron in the greens.

A small bean burrito is a great, light dinner. Add chopped romaine lettuce for fiber and vitamins, and almost no calories at all. Add half a cup of tomato for tons of nutrients and only 16 calories. Really! A filling, nutritious dinner.

For the pasta option, I would add some steamed spinach, broccoli, or kale to it for almost no calories but some good nutrition. I’m guessing your veggie burger is one of those frozen ones, approximately 100 or 150 calories per patty. They are so processed. You’d do better to have a calorically equivalent amount of real veggies topped with edamame, beans, or sprouted sunflower seeds.

Lentil soup is a wonderfully nourishing, delicious food. Definitely keep it in heavy rotation! Light, nourishing, filling, and full of protein.

It’s good to enjoy different grains for a balanced diet. Try swapping millet, quinoa, or brown rice sometimes instead of the oats, pasta, or tortilla.

As for that afternoon snack, it is great to have a safe treat on hand. Don’t feel guilty for wanting a treat! I might have different treats on different days, though. Frozen banana chunks and frozen grapes make a delicious, light ice cream substitute. Mash a banana in a tablespoon of almond butter. Make a batch of small pumpkin muffins. Have one for a snack, and freeze the rest to have on other days. Try some leftover roasted butternut squash topped with the toasted seeds. The rich, creamy texture and sweet flavor of the squash is so satisfying. Or try some roasted sweet potato slices instead, now and then. Variety is the key to not over-indulging!

You have a good start to a healthy vegan diet for weight loss. But please, please include more veggies!

What your diet is low in right now is iron, calcium, folate, a host of vitamins and other micronutrients. Adding more veggies and fruits, and swapping a few things around will help you make up for those gaps without adding calories to your day. Don’t feel guilty if you eat enough spinach to feel comfortably full! I promise, spinach is not fattening!

Q: Some good non-meat sources of B vitamins?
I take fish oils daily and use dairy products such as milk and yogurt however I don’t eat any meat or fish. I’m wondering about some good sources for B vitamins? I believe B12 is particularly important. I did some time ago have a supplement however this was actually a very strong dosage of the nutrient that worked out at 1000% of the RDA.

Should I go through the supplement route or try and get it through food?

A: i do supplements for lots of things its the easiest way to get it but looking for foods with it as well is great too.

here is a vegan shop online where you can get vegan (none of that fish oil nonsense) supplements including b-12.

http://www.cosmosveganshoppe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CVS&Product_Code=DVB12&Product_Count=&Category_Code=

and i think nuritional yeast might be good for it as well

Q: Do you think I’m consuming enough calories & eating a balanced diet?
I have recently gone vegan & I am unsure if I am getting enough calories. I never feel hungry even though I am a bit overweight which is surprising.

This is an example of what I might eat on a normal day:
Breakfast:
Maple & macadamia gluten free muesli with soy yogurt + small banana + vitamin b12 capsule

Snack:
handful of dried gogi berries or a handful of raw snow peas

Lunch:
Big bowl of broccoli & lentil soup with chia seeds + 1 toasted wholemeal pita bread for dipping

Afternoon snack:
Peppermint tea with stevia
small piece of fruit eg: apple or a handful of fresh cherries

Dinner:
2 Portobello mushrooms stuffed with quinoa, kale,sundried tomatoes, tofutti cream cheese, more mushroom & herbs

I feel really good & don’t feel like I am depriving myself but I am worried about not eating enough calories. Any tips would be appreciated.

A: I think maybe some more green/leafy veggies like spinach, celery, etc. What you’re looking to add is a little more fiber and iron. But it looks pretty well rounded. You have at least three servings of whole grains, which is good to start off with and has protein, three or four fruits, and lentils, which also have protein.

Q: Is this way of eating healthy?
I am a ballet dancer (I dance between 3-5 hours a day; 7 hours on Saturdays), and vegetarian. I would definitely like to slim down a bit, but would like to do it the healthy way. I am going to start riding a bike in the mornings as well. Is this healthy? Too much food?

Breakfast:
1 cup of milk thistle tea
1 Greek yogurt (strawberry)
multi-vitamin, b12 supplement, calcium, fish oil/flax-seed oil/borage oil supplement

snack:
all natural apple sauce

lunch:
usually a morning star garden veggie sandwich on two slices of whole grain wheat bread with some cheese
or
peanut butter sandwich (just peanut butter on two slices of whole grain wheat bread)

snack:
almonds

dinner:
glass of milk
pasta with veggies
or
amy’s organic tv dinner
or
soup (lentil, or veggie) with a slice of plain whole grain wheat toast

bedtime:
1 cup of “sleepy time” tea
the pasta is whole grain

the peanut butter is all natural, no sugar added
Oh yes – and I want to lose fat/weight; not muscle I need to gain some lean muscle.

A: Greek Yogurt usually contains cream, Switch to low fat or skim milk yogurt. Make sure your peanut butter is pure and has no sugar or vegetable oil added. Swap your high GI pasta for wholemeal or better still Basmatti rice (both lower on the GI). Swap the Wheat toast for rye.

Q: Can you help me ask about nutrition/supplements during my developmentally delayed son’s 5 year check up?
My son started out a normal healthy baby. About age one, he got sick and was given Omnicef which destroyed the good bacteria in his gut. He ended up with c.difficile, a very hard to combat tummy problem. I gave him probiotics and lots of yogurt, acidolphlus milk, got rid of apple juice, etc. 7 months later, we found out that he was developmentally delayed. The c. difficle has now been gone, after a year of battling it. He had diarrhea/soft stools for all that time.

A few months ago, I noticed that he had quite a few grey hairs sprinkled in his hair. I looked it up and found a suggestion that it could be a vitamin b12 deficiency. That is definitely a possiblility, since he is a picky eater. I also find out that B12 is not readily absorbed by people with tummy problems (!), and deficiency could cause cognitive impairment! I have supplemented as well as possible and have noticed GREAT improvement in him, as well as his teachers. I want to find out more to help.

A: Here’s information on this exact question: http://www.drgreene.com/21_30.html I’d request that the tests mentioned in the article be done on your son so that any dietary supplementation can be approved through his physician.

It’s important that all testing is done so you don’t simply mask another health condition or disorder by supplementing with over the counter type products. If you’ve been giving supplements, make sure you tell the doctor this so the test results can be read with that information in mind.

It sounds like you’re on the right track… keep up the good work

Q: vitamin supplements for teens?
to improve my performance in school i wanted to take some vitamin supplements

i was planning on taking
magnesium 150 mg
vitamin E 250 IU
Vitamin C 250 mg
B1 (Thiamine) 15 mg
B2 (Riboflavin) 10 mg
B6 (Pyridamine) 5 mg
Folic Acid 200 micrograms
B12 – 50 micrograms

If it would help I have my average day’s food below:
B
1 Bowl Cheerios, 2 egg whites
L
2 PBJ sandwiches, nuts, yogurt
S
Apple or bannana, nuts
D
Meat (I usually have 2 1/2 card decks worth), salad, carrots, potatoes

I was going to take a regular centrum multivitamin along with that (but if you compare the numbers the multivitamin in insignificant). I checked some statistics on the safety threshhold of these vitamins (the level where there have been no reputable reported cases of harm) and the amounts I have are significantly below).

Is taking a lot of certain vitamins in proportion to others bad (would that cause an imbalance)?
Also, should I alter any of the amounts?
How often should I take them

A: Vitamin supplements are a Placebo.

You are better off increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables.

Q: I’m a vegetarian. My stomach is upset every morning. Why?
I’m a vegetarian (not vegan) and have been for over a year now. I know I’m getting my protein, my omega 3’s, my vit b12’s, and I try to eat yogurt every morning. And yet my stomach is upset nearly every morning. I don’t understand why this is. I eat the yogurt to help with it, because it is upset whether or not I eat the yogurt. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I don’t eat meat. Anybody know why this may be?
Sorry for not enough info. Yes, I eat lots of fiber and try hard to avoid “white” type of grains. I do have diarrhea too regularly, but not all the time. I eat fish sometimes already, but not much. Often I’ll have grapes or peanuts before bed.
The reason I think this is related to being a vegetarian is because when I first became a vegetarian, it took my body like a week to adjust. But now suddenly it seems unadjusted and I can’t figure out why…

A: Sweetie, you should talk to your doctor about this. I’m hoping it’s just a food allergy. Your stomach doesn’t miss rotten meat, but something new in your diet is upsetting it. What are you eating before you go to bed?

Q: Is this a healthy vegan diet?
I’m a new vegan and I’ll give you a sample daily diet please tell me if I’m lacking anything, thanks!

Breakfast: plain soy yogurt with agave nectar (it has b12 in it), plain oatmeal with agave nectar in it, and 1 cup of fortefied orange juice with vitamin d and calcium

Midmorning snack: vegan veggie burger patty

Lunch: 1 cup of whole grain pasta with tomato juice as a substitute sauce (somedays instead of the pasta I’ll have vegetarian baked beans and whole grain rice wrapped in a tortilla to make a burrito)

Dinner: salad consisting of one large tomato, baby carrot sticks, spinach, and romaine lettuce with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, with some fat free lentil soup

Evening Snack: Apple

If this seems a little low calorie wise it’s because I’m losing weight right now I’m 16 lbs away from my goal thanks!
Sometimes I’ll have baked beans instead of lentil soup or a 1tbsp of vegan peanut butter that has flaxseed oil in it
The peanut butter is in addition to not instead of.

I’m losing weight at a rate of 1-2 lbs a week with 23 weight watchers points per day so I’m a bit limited on my “point budget” lol
SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE SARCASTIC ONES WILL BE REPORTED AS ABUSE

A: Sounds fairly balanced to me! And certainly more nutitious than a lot of these similar types of questions you often see here.

I would say that if you are a new vegan, to try and get a little more used to a fully vegan diet before focusing on weight-loss too much, I lost a fair amount without even trying when I became vegan. (And lots too just from going omnivorous to vegetarian)
