If your a vegatarian or vegan do you stay short if you become one early on in your life?

Question

I wanna be short and ive been searching for an hour. and ive found NOTHING. i was wondering if in other vegatarians no. that ind i wanna become a vegatarian anyways.

Answer 1

Height is determined by genes.

Answer 2

i stopped eating meat and other animal products when i was 13, i'm almost 21 now.

i'm only 5'1", and while my family is genetically short, cutting out a food group from my diet probably didnt help

what you need to legitimately worry about is getting enough iron in the form of supplements because tofu and veggie burgers can only go so far. i've been anaemic since i was 15, as a byproduct of being a vegitarian.

Answer 3

Height is genetic.  As long as you get enough protein in your diet you will be fine.  I haven't eaten a four legged animal in almost 30 years.  I am 5'8".  Yes, I feel tall, but I don't really care!!  If you want to be short, start smoking!

Answer 4

Becoming a vegetarian or vegan will not stunt your growth.

Answer 5

hi!

i am 13 and i became a vegiterian when i was 10 years old.

my growth seems to be fine except for the fact my family is naturally short (five foot and a bit)

also being a vegetarian is easy except when your at a resturant when you have to wait for the waitress to find out if your meal is vegetarian!

sorry!

Answer 6

hmmm well one of my friends has been a vegatarian since she was twelve and is only 5'3...but maybe thats because of genetics or something.

Answer 7

Your height is determined almost exclusively by your genes.  It's already determined and there's nothing you can do about it.

And no, vegetarians and vegans achieve the same average adult height as the general population regardless of when they went veg*n.

Answer 8

What are you hoping to accomplish here?

Answer 9

aahh i don't think so.  i'm a vegetarian and i'm 5"10

Answer 10

Wait huh?

You want to be a vegetarian to be short?

Your weird.

Answer 11

Cut your legs off at the knee. Meat doesn't make you taller. How silly.

Answer 12

Have you lost your mind?

Answer 13

Being a vegetarian or a vegan will not stunt your growth. To be honest, its pretty much up to your genetic makeup. Just date tall guys and you will always be short to them!
