Tired?

Q from spunkysparky33 from YouTube:
I don't eat meat hardly EVER, and since the beginning of this year no matter how much I sleep I feel EXHAUSTED! Could it be the fact that I don't eat meat (and I'm not getting those vitamins or proteins)?

Dear spunkysparky33,
Yes, I think that if you recently haven't been eating meat it is probably the reason for your fatigue.
When you don't have enough nutrients, your body can't function properly and that causes tiredness.
Remember to take your vitamins every day! I take a pill form and I also have that powder stuff called Emergen-C (you can get it at health stores where they sell tons of pills and Vegan products) that you put in water and it tastes really good :)
Research to find what you could eat to substitute the protein, iron and minerals you need from meat. To substitute the protein you could have: tofu, chia seeds, dark leafy greens, fish/seafood, beans and Vegan powder mix (which has absolutely everything you need and is filling but it's expensive).
Also make sure you're getting enough fibre! There's plenty in most cereals. Especially Kashi!
