Note to the Reader: This booklet does not take
the place of individualized medical care or advice. If you are overweight,
have any health problems, or are on medication, you should consult
with your doctor before making any changes in your diet or exercise
routines. A diet change can alter your need for medication. For
example, individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high
cholesterol levels often need less medication when they improve
their diets. With any dietary change, it is important to ensure
complete nutrition. Be sure to include a source of vitamin B12 in
your routine, which could include any common multivitamin, fortified
soymilk or cereals, or a vitamin B12 supplement containing five
micrograms or more per day.
