Question by Kevin: I need help convincing my parents? Please help?
I want to try the Paleo diet, but my parents (especially my mom) believe I should follow the USDA food pyramid. I don’t want to drink milk, but my mom starts worrying if I don’t. Plus, I was a vegetarian, and she thought I was doing great on the diet, but I recently discovered that I might have an iron deficiency, and I want to try eating more meat and fish to counter that. Now that I want to forgo milk and adopt meat, I think my mom is going to way less supportive of me trying different foods. Please help me convince my mom that the Paleo diet can work!

You should talk with your doctor about dieting at your age, and what essential vitamins you need to grow healthy. Maybe try skin milk to compromise. Vitamins are helpful too, if she hears testimony from a doctor she might feel more comfortable, good luck!
