I'm a 19-year-old female college student.
I have been a healthy, happy vegetarian
for over three and a half years. I've
never had any trouble maintaining my
healthy diet or with cravings. In fact,
over time, I became repulsed by meat. Yet
recently, i've very suddenly become
plagued by strong, persistent cravings for
meat, especially poultry. I've also
noticed that my circulation has been
poorer over the past two or three years,
though i'm not sure whether that's related
at all to being a vegetarian. I believe
very strongly in the vegetarian lifestyle,
but i'm afraid that as I become an adult,
maybe my body is trying to tell me
something. I also travel extensively and
will be studying abroad in south america
this summer, which obviously makes it
exponentially more difficult to eat
vegetarian.
What should I do to find out whether my
body will be able to continue a vegetarian
diet?
