I would recommend a Heart Healthy diet which is a moderate fat diet. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.

I am taking vitamin B12 and consuming enough ALA Omega 3 in the form of flax, or so I believe. But I know it converts poorly. I just wonder if I am hurting myself by being vegetarian? Worse, am I hurting my partner? We consumed no heavily manufactured products. I make everything at home from raw materials. My partner has lost so much weight, despite eating like a kraken... and I have put so much weight on, despite eating little. My biggest concern is my early menopause, though.

If I go vegetarian wont I simply be eating carbs I thought that one had to eat protein to balance it out ,I have been eating more chicken and have felt better . I would take Omega 3 but what ever supplements I take I seem to feel bad or get stomach upsets except for Vit C ...someone suggested I use liquid supplements instead of tablets .I am trying to educate myself a lot by reading and googling , coming here for advice others have is also helpful to me ,thank you ..

Vitamin E is found in all whole grain sources, wheat germ; and omega 3 are in nuts, fish, teas, flaxseed, and egg to name a few. Plus you get the added benefit of the fiber.

any thing with Omega-3 in it

Thanks for the list. I avoid soy and flax due to a health issue. I do eat pumpkin seeds and walnuts as well as plenty of vegetables and fruit. Interesting about papaya. Ideally I would like to get it from food rather than have to purchase an expensive supplement that I don't feel 100% comfortable with.

I'm not a vegetarian but I'm a clean eater and naturalist. (A cheater though as well :) ) I don't take any prenatal vitamins just because I don't feel its necessary (just my opinion) my doc is fine with it and my labs are too beautiful! (I do take folic acid) I would say just listen to your body, drink plenty of water obviously, and get rest! I don't eat alot of meat so I've been compensating with cheese, eggs, beans, etc for extra protein. I feel great great!

Sorry its fish oil and EPA

I became vegan about a month ago and I have come to realize that now that my stomach has not been using enzymes to break down meat, dairy products, and some fats, I might have lost these enzymes. I am afraid that I should incorporate some fish and some good fats in my diet because not eating any will take a toll on my body. But everyone has a different opinion on what fats are really good.

you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.

I've been a vegetarian for the last five years, almost. There were a few points where I was vegan for months at a time. Right now I do eat eggs and some dairy occasionally but no fish. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about three years ago...but I have reason to believe that I had it long before. I remember how my body felt years ago...so I don't want to blame vegetarianism for my hypothyroidism. Getting to my point- I've had pretty bad memory loss for a few years now as well.

he could be lacking in iron and omega-3s, which is an essential fatty acid for brain development, found in fish and avocados. If he's not taking a multivitamin, he is at high risk for vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well. Since she's so concerned about meats being contaminated, she may want to consider buying organic meats.

Our bodies naturally produce small amounts of DHA, but we must get the amounts we need from our diet or supplements. Most people in the Western world do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids in their diet.

She recommended fish since I would also lack omega vitamins without it. So I started eating fish, in moderation of course to avoid mercury. I'm wondering if you think it would be alright to stop again after she's born, if I plan to breastfeed? I think if I eat plenty of leafy green veggies it'll be alright, I just want a second opinion. Thanks!

I take Vytorin, which mixes drugs to control both ingested fats and cholesterol manufactured in the liver. I also take 2000 mg of Omega 3 oils to encourage the development of HDL (good) cholesterol. This mix has helped me greatly.
