Evening everyone hope you're all doing good tonight!
I'm having a bit of a confusing night.
As some of you may know, I'm recently became a vegetarian (well I started properly in January but I've been funny about meat for long before that!) and since then, I've been constantly ill...getting colds, catching bugs etc.
Anyway, I went to see my doctor today as I was feeling really really rough. I've got a constant cough and cold and just feel generally run down. My doctor asked the normal questions about health...do you smoke? etc etc. Then he was like "have you changed your eating habits recently?"
So, I told him about becoming a vegetarian and being on SW and he was like, well done for doing SW and that he can tell I've lost a little bit of weight so far and to keep it up. But then he was like "I've told you this the other week. The reason you're getting ill is because your not getting the nutrients meat gives you". I went to see him the other week as I was really ill. He advised me to eat meat & fish again. I said no to meat but I've started eating more fish (mainly tuna and pollack but it's a start). Now he really advises that I start eating meat again. I can just hear all you vegetarians saying "NO, DONT DO IT!" and I said the same myself. But now I've been thinking it through and I've been wondering whether I should just give it a bash and have some meat. Ughh I just dunno. What would you lot do in my position? I'm sick of being ill all of the time. I really am not a fan of meat, but if it'll make me better than maybe I should just eat it?
Sorry for long post/kind of rant..I'm just so confused and in need of some advice.

P.s sorry if this doesn't make sense, my brain hurts!!
